Tom
My sun drag.

Patrick Bet-David
I think I. All right, so we are live. We're doing a podcast here today from D.C. and a lot has happened the last 24, 48 hours. And you know what is most impressive? Most people you're like, you got the job. You're president. Celebrate taking pictures, shaking hands. This guy gets in at the event with Capital One and he's signing executive orders in front of everybody. And he's already got folks here, hostages and their families in the back from, you know, Israel, Hamas, Gaza, and not slowing down at all on day one. So there's a lot of stories to cover with you folks. The commentary about how cold it was and, you know, did they do it because of other reasons. Was it because of drones? Was it because of security reasons? Was it because it was freezing? I can tell you right now, my hands are still swollen. And we're going to tell you about the weather here, how cold it was then with Zuck. I think Zuck may want to take a page out of Bobby Kennedy's playbook because you can tell Kennedy's been experienced, Zuck's not. And he's been all over the place. I'm sure he's explaining to his wife and saying, babe, I was looking at her necklace. She had a nice necklace on. And I was looking to see what was it Tiffany's? You know, was it something else? When Zuck is kind of glancing, you know, we'll Talk about that. All the executive orders that Trump signed. Barron Trump, we have to just say this. He is beyond loved, admired, and, you know, gets the kind of attention that I've not seen a lot of people get when he walks into a room.
- [03:05]
Vinny
Rock star status.
- [03:05]
Patrick Bet-David
Rock star status. Last night, we went to two of the balls. You guys went to the. Which ball did you guys go to? You went to the Liberty One. Well, Tom didn't. Adam didn't. Adam left you guys.
- [03:14]
Vinny
Adam, yeah.
- [03:16]
Patrick Bet-David
And was chasing skirts. But we went to the. What was the one we went to? We went to the Starlight.
- [03:21]
Vinny
Starlight.
- [03:22]
Patrick Bet-David
I got to show you guys a picture of who the boys took a picture with, which is great. Two boys. Two brothers with another two brothers, which was kind of interesting. Trump signs order to withdraw US from the World Health Organization. All the executive orders will talk about Musk's Hanchester. That went viral, and everyone's talking about that. Lauren Sanchez chose to wear a shirt that got a lot of attention. Then the Paris Agreement. Tom's got a bunch of thoughts on that. Trump threatens 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada effective February 1st. Punting day one pledge. Aside from that, all the Biden pardons. It's interesting. When Trump went and gave the speech in the rotunda and he was talking about how friendly he was being until afterwards, when he gets to the Capitol. One building, Capitol One arena, and he's giving the message, he says, did you guys know while I'm up there, swear, being sworn in, Biden pardons his entire family.
- [04:18]
Vinny
Yes.
- [04:18]
Patrick Bet-David
And Melania told me to give a friendly message and don't say anything about the Bidens.
- [04:23]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [04:24]
Patrick Bet-David
But now that I found that, trust me, we're going to talk about that. Right? So, yeah, it seemed like he was upset. I got some thoughts on that. And then what else we got? Bunch of clips from Trump. Snoop, clip from back in the days, what he said about performing at the event and then him performing today. Aoc, she refused to attend. Says she doesn't celebrate rapists. Who says such a thing? But anyways, we'll talk. Maybe she's got a lawsuit coming up. And then aside from that, bunch of different things with TikTok, you know, China. Something just happened with China, which is very interesting. Trump vowing to release the JFK, RFK, MLK assassination files and suspending security clearances for the 51 former CIA contractors who falsely implied Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian fake Vivek, possibly leaving Doge to run for governor. Highlights from Rubio, Ratcliffe and Bondi and Duffy Senate confirmation hearing. And then aside from that, we got a bunch of other things that we're going to cover with as well. One thing that's funny is Biden's final humiliation. Most Americans cannot name a single success of what he did. Kevin O'Leary offered $20 billion cash for TikTok. And then aside from that, let me see, China population declines for third straight year. Ratings for CNN revenue dropped roughly $400 million. I love what Djokovic did. We may talk about that. And we got a few other stories now real quick last night, the experience, I say we start off with this. Vinny.
- [06:00]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [06:00]
Patrick Bet-David
Since we haven't talked about a lot of different things. When they announced couple days ago that they're gonna do the inauguration inside in the rotunda.
- [06:10]
Vinny
Yes.
- [06:11]
Patrick Bet-David
I think everybody initially your reaction is what, what's going on? What are they worried about? Like, what was your initial reaction when they said they're, you know, they're taking it inside instead of doing it outside?
- [06:20]
Vinny
As soon as the cold thing happened, Pat, the first thing I said is Donald Trump is too tough to play. This whole, oh, it's going to be chilly, especially with weather reports. But then I started asking like what, what could make. This has to be a security issue. The fact that we're still up there and still kind of confused Tom with all the drone stuff and mind you, people just stopped talking about it. It was drones, drones, drones, all the reports. And then somebody on manec hits me up and goes, hey, Vinny, just giving you a heads up. My family's heavily invested in all these drones and my father has a company and blah, blah, blah. And he's talking about dji, which is a China based drone manufacturing company that owns 72, I think 75%. Would I be clarify that for me that days before, Pat, just days before they changed their, their policy on geofencing, which lets you, like for instance, Pat, if you wanted to launch a drone and get near an airport, this thing shuts you down. Now this update three days before the election had something where it just gives you a warning. It says, hey, warning. And then the FAA deals with it. Which I was like, okay, that, that seemed to me more of a, of a possibility. But then obviously we were here, we felt the cold. But I think, you know, God works in mysterious ways. And I think the weather was one thing, but I think because I did see a convoy with Donald Trump coming somewhere, getting on Air Force One for the first time. And the entire convoy had these weird, I think it was, you Tom, that pointed out. And Rob, this. These black things on top of the. Of the hoods, which were all. Which what I. I found out were like deterrence for drones. So either way, Pat, it was not going to be easy.
- [07:59]
Patrick Bet-David
But if you can play this clip. So we're in D.C. in the morning, we're walking out. Okay. Then when we're leaving, so 11:30 ish. We're walking to the Capital One Arena. Then I don't know what time we're leaving. 6:30. We're leaving. Okay. And get the reaction of Tom on the way there and on the way back. Rob, if you want to go on Twitter, It's a clip that I posted on Twitter. You'll see both before and after. Let me know when you're on, Rob, to be able to show it. Do you have it?
- [08:28]
Adam
Is this the one right here?
- [08:30]
Patrick Bet-David
What am I looking at? I can't see.
- [08:32]
Rob
You guys are.
- [08:32]
Vinny
What?
- [08:32]
Adam
Yes.
- [08:33]
Patrick Bet-David
No, what I'm saying is I can't see where to come from. Okay, that's the one right there. Go ahead and play that clip. Watch this, folks. Okay, so we've been walking for about five minutes, and everybody's wondering how the weather is here.
- [08:46]
Adam
Hey, nice to see you.
- [08:48]
Patrick Bet-David
Good to see you. Vinnie, how cold is it?
- [08:51]
Vinny
Yeah, it's all right.
- [08:53]
Patrick Bet-David
Vinnie, how much cold is it?
- [08:55]
Vinny
Vinny, it's cold.
- [08:55]
Rob
10 degrees in the ears.
- [08:57]
Patrick Bet-David
Tom, thank you guys for everything.
- [08:59]
Rob
It's 26 degrees and windy, and they say that's 10 degrees on your face and your ears.
- [09:04]
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, it is freezing. So lots of people here now when a million people are trying to get into the Capital One building, it was a cloud. It is freezing. So doing this for four hours outside, waiting, they probably made the right move. Look at this.
- [09:19]
Rob
And you're in the sun.
- [09:20]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [09:20]
Patrick Bet-David
Crazy. Now, let me tell you. I did a video when we first came to the event, and I'm doing a video now that we're even to tell you how cold it is still. It feels. Feels. Tom, what does it feel like? 5 degrees, 10 degrees right now?
- [09:33]
Rob
Yeah, it feels like 0 to 5. Windchill on my face and my ears from when I ski. It feels like zero.
- [09:38]
Patrick Bet-David
Let me. Let me. We can pause it right there. Rob, to do. It was so cold, I couldn't take my ring off. My hands were swollen. I don't have a ring on right now because my hands are swollen. I can't put it in there. Yeah, it was incredibly cold. And I think yesterday with the drivers taking us back to the hotel, I asked the Driver, a question. I said, hey, just out of curiosity, do you think it was a right African American guy, family, four kids, local D.C. guy, he's been here for a long time. I said, do you think it was the right move to not have the inauguration outside? He says, 100% people would have gotten hurt. That's how cold it was. Tom?
- [10:11]
Rob
Well, my first reaction was very similar to Vinny's. It was like, hmm, Kennedy had a very cold inauguration. There's been cold things before. Although it was very sunny for Kenny's, but it was still cold. And I'm thinking, is there something else going on here? And I also was looking at the pictures of the motorcade, noticing they had some new technology there, but they're always trying to do what's called harden the target with more advanced technology and intercepting drones. So I felt like, okay, well, maybe intercepting drones, that's a very real thing right now. Maybe they're trying to do that in addition to everything else. So I was thinking security. And then all of a sudden I started looking at real temperatures and tracking almost like tracking a hurricane, tracking the cold air mass over the center. US on Weather Channel weather bug. And I was like, wow, this is. Wait a minute, this is like 0% humidity, 15 mile an hour winds. And this. I said, you know what, this is going to be really cold. My daughter called me and said, there are no classes today at Rice University and at University of Houston because they had a little bit of snow, some ice on the streets. This is in Houston. So. And then when we woke up yesterday, I said, you know what, maybe security was a part of this. Maybe there's some drone thing. But you know what, crowds of people out like this, there'd be some people that needed assistance. This was really cold.
- [11:35]
Adam
Yeah, Adam, look, I love the fact that we have such different opinions on this because it allows us to have a wide range of the conversation. Like for instance, Vinnie, when we, when we left Fort Lauderdale, sunny 75, amazing weather. By the time we landed, we heard the news. Trump's moving everything inside, where we're like, what do we want to do? Should we stay? Should we go? What do we want to do with that? So what I did was simply just look at the weather map, weather app, and I was like, oh, it's going to be 35 when we land, and three days later it's going to be 10. And you know, you talked about the temperature of a, of a. Well, that is, I think you said.
- [12:20]
Patrick Bet-David
18, 18 degrees, 64.4 Fahrenheit okay, chill, calm.
- [12:24]
Adam
When we landed, 35 degrees. It's actually above freezing. What's. What's freezing? 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Weather's actually okay three days later. I mean, it was cold as balls. So my paranoia was not, oh, there's drones. Oh, my God. They're gonna. We all know that he got shot in the face. I think it's pretty obvious. They would like to see this guy not assume office. Yeah, but everything worked out okay. But what I will say is this, you know, you made a phone call, you spoke to somebody in the know. He's like. He said, 100% this has to do with weather. I want to say he said, this is.
- [12:58]
Patrick Bet-David
This is a direct contact. He says 100% had to do with the weather.
- [13:03]
Adam
So I agree with that. But Vinnie, on the other hand, was like, no, that's great. But what I'll tell you the flip side is when we were walking into the arena, Vinnie on high alert, you know, we said, the future looks bright, but also only the paranoid survive.
- [13:16]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- [13:17]
Adam
They didn't let anybody bring a bag in. They didn't let women bring a person.
- [13:21]
Patrick Bet-David
Well, there was $200,000 worth of purses on this.
- [13:25]
Adam
So here's my point. Vinnie goes, oh, I don't like this. There's hundreds of purses. Jake didn't bring her Yves Laurent person there.
- [13:33]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [13:34]
Adam
So on that respect, I go, no, no, no, no. His paranoia is perfect for this.
- [13:37]
Patrick Bet-David
Is this a video, right?
- [13:38]
Vinny
Yeah. Because think about this. And just heads up. Just to give you guys a heads up to get to this area, guys, if the fencing, the security up to this point, anything could happen. So then there's a. When you get to the front zero bags. So they just have a designated meaning those bags aren't checked. If, God forbid, somebody wanted to put a device or a bomb inside of this, it would have been all hell at this. At this. That's my only security hiccup. Rob, you could play that video. It's like a 10 second. So we're over here, this is the checkpoint to get it inside. And they're not letting any bags come in. And look at that. They just pull. Look at that. Yeah. Tom's yelling at me.
- [14:16]
Patrick Bet-David
And by the way, the types of bags are. I mean, Jennifer had to get rid of her lsv. Yeah. The bag that I just got her. And they're like, look, they're not letting anybody in with bags. They're so worried about it. So security was tight part of it. I like the other part that I don't like is the fact that it was on the outside. Some people are from D.C. a lot of people came here from Virginia. Other place, like, look, I don't know what's going on. I'm just here trying to protect. But it was a little bit messy. I'm glad they did it indoors. Anyways, let me get to the next story here. All right, so Rob, then the inauguration happens, okay? And he's up there giving a speech. And by the way, for some of you guys that are watching this right now, two things I want to tell you. Barb, if you're going to go to VTNews AI and you go on there, the leader's bulletin is officially out on who's doing a good job predicting. Everyone's officially got a score. For some of you that are thinking, you're very good at predicting, you're gonna see who's number one. Okay, Rob, if you want to get up, then just go to VTNews AI and go on the actual website if you can. Rob, are you on it? Because I don't see it here.
- [15:18]
Rob
Yeah, hang on one second.
- [15:20]
Patrick Bet-David
So if you can go to the website and go to the first hundred days.
- [15:24]
Adam
Can the guys in the back pull.
- [15:25]
Rob
Up my screen, please?
- [15:27]
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, so if you go there, this one, if you missed this one, it's out. Will there be an attempt on Trump's life in the first hundred days? Rob, if you want to. You put. You're saying yes. Okay, Rob went. Yes, very quick. Now go to the leaders bulletin on the top right. You see where it says leaders Bulletin? Click on the Leaders bulletin. It says leaders board.
- [15:46]
Adam
Can you be available tomorrow?
- [15:47]
Patrick Bet-David
No, refresh. Today is the 21st. Can you refresh? And go back. Go back to the home page. You see where it says leaders Board right there, Rob. Okay, go back to the first hundred days. Go back to the first 100 days. See right there it says predictions, then Leaders board. I think they need to put the right above first hundred days. Rob. Right above first hundred days. Rob. No, right above.
- [16:11]
Vinny
Scroll up days.
- [16:12]
Patrick Bet-David
Rob, it says. There you go. Okay, zoom. You have your score.
- [16:16]
Vinny
So let's see where you rank Connors.
- [16:18]
Patrick Bet-David
Let's see where Rob ranks. Rob, look at your ranking on the top right. 487. You rank 487 out of everybody that's making their prediction. Connor is first place.
- [16:27]
Rob
There you go.
- [16:29]
Patrick Bet-David
Second is David. All right, good. David, then Riley. Riley, then Bayetta, then Dennis. Wayne, Tommy boy Thomas. 6th place. Tom's kind of disappointing for you to be. I thought for sure. You're going to be first place. Anyways, for some of you guys that are wanting to participate with this predictions, we're going to go 100 days, go to VTNews AI and post your predictions and participate in this. There will be special recognition for those at the end of it. You're going to want to be a part of this thing here anyways, Rob. So the inauguration, he's up there giving a speech. If you can play a couple of the clips. I know we have a few of them. You know, when he addresses. There's only two genders when he addresses a few things. Whatever clips you got, let's just go through a few of them. Rob, if you want to line them.
- [17:13]
Tom
Up this week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.

Tom
Not clapping for J Society that is colorblind and merit based.
- [18:40]
Patrick Bet-David
Common sense. Biden not clapping.
- [18:44]
Tom
Today it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
- [18:58]
Patrick Bet-David
How ridiculous is it that a president has to say something like that?
- [19:02]
Rob
Yeah, absurd.
- [19:04]
Patrick Bet-David
How ridiculous.
- [19:05]
Vinny
Absurd is more than that.
- [19:07]
Patrick Bet-David
Go to the next clip. Rob, if you got so that's one. He's given a message like that in his inauguration. You ready for the next one?
- [19:15]
Tom
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
- [19:24]
Patrick Bet-David
Why are you not clapping, Kamala? Why is that not important to you?
- [19:27]
Rob
She still doesn't know where the border is.
- [19:29]
Vinny
Yeah. Joe Biden has no idea what's happening.
- [19:37]
Patrick Bet-David
Look how bad of a look it is. For those who Kamala And Biden are not standing up.
- [19:47]
Tom
All illegal entry will immediately be halted. And we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. We will reinstate my remain in Mexico policy. I will end the practice of catch and release, and I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.
- [20:26]
Patrick Bet-David
There you go, Rob. So all of this is happening. Let me just read to you guys, folks, all the executive orders, okay? All of them. And then you tell me which one of these was the one you liked the most. So day one, think about it. He just started his job, okay?
- [20:40]
Vinny
Literally, literally, most people who get in.
- [20:43]
Patrick Bet-David
They want to kind of be like, well, let me get an accomplishment punishment. First week, first month, first 90 days, first year. Day one. Boom. Okay, one after another. Here's some of the executive orders he had on day one. Pardon. In the January 6th US Capitol attack, Trump pardoned approximately 1500 people charged or convicted with the January 6th attack. Ordered an end to federal cases against political opponents of the Biden administration focused on helping Trump supporters. Next one. The economy on TikTok. Signed orders to combat inflation by easing regulations on oil and gas production. Drill baby drill targeting Alaska for expansion. Announced 25% tariff on Canada on Mexico starting February 1st. Pause Congress TikTok ban for 75 days to seek a US buyer, ensuring national security while keeping the app available. America first pulled the US out of the World Health Organization. And Rob, if you can play that one clip, it's like 13 seconds. He pulled us out of the World Health Organization and ordered a review of foreign aid spending. If you have the World Health one, just pull it up. It's on Twitter. Go for it.
- [21:50]
Vinny
Withdrawing from what?
- [21:51]
Rob
Is withdrawing from the World Health Organization.
- [21:54]
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, that's a big one.
- [21:58]
Tom
$500 million to World Health. When I was here and I terminated it. China with 1.4 billion people. We have 350 depend.
- [22:09]
Snoop Dogg
We have.
- [22:09]
Tom
Nobody knows what we have because so many people came in illegally. But let's say we have 325. They had 1.4 billion. They were paying 39 million. We were paying 500.
- [22:21]
Patrick Bet-David
That just doesn't make any sense.
- [22:22]
Tom
Seemed a little unfair to me. So that wasn't the reason, but I dropped out. They offered me to come back for 39 million. In theory, it should be less than that, but, you know, and when Biden came back, they came back for 500 million. He knew that you could come back for 39 million. They wanted us back so badly. So we'll see what happens.
- [22:46]
Patrick Bet-David
All right, so let me continue. That's a big one right there. Then planned symbolic actions, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and reverting Denali to Mount McKinley, which, by the way, Florida came up with the first time ever using the phrase Gulf of America. Immigration and national security reinstated Trump era deportation policy prioritizing all undocumented immigrants for removal. Declared a national emergency at the U.S. mexico border, deploying troops and restricting asylum and refugees admissions. Ended Biden's CBP app and suspended the refugee program and pending security review, revoked security clearances for critics like James Clapper, Leon Panetta and John Bolton. Withdrew from the US from the Paris climate agreement and declared an emergency energy emergency, promising to drill, baby, drill. Announced plans to eliminate Biden's electric vehicle mandates, froze federal hiring expect for the military and pause new regulations empowered Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, aiming to streamline government and cut spending. Ordered determination of diversity, equity and inclusion. Rollback transgender protections, recognizing only two sexes, male and female. Ban federal funding for transition services and ordered segregation in federal shelters and prisons by biological sexes, which is again, everything here is common sense. Common sense, common sense. Tom, which one of these was the most important one in your opinion?
- [24:13]
Rob
In my opinion, everything you take a look at, because you look at inflation, look at everything, and I'm going to give you a little biz doc dive here was drill, baby, drill. And let me tell you why. Drill baby drill increases the supply of oil and gas in the United States, which is going to reduce the price of that oil and gas in the United States to U.S. citizens. And if oil and fuel costs less than it costs less for those trucks running around with American products delivering to each other. So we're going to get some savings on delivery costs. We're going to get savings on air. I expect this summer plane tickets will cost less for families going on vacation or businesses that are sending their people around for, you know, meetings and conferences and things. I think you're getting drill, baby, drill was big and also backs us out of these false reliances that the Biden administration had made. While we won't drill here and I'll suspend this and then we won't do this Biden. You know, there was a very interesting thing that happened with Speaker Johnson who just before the inauguration, he released and Pat, I think you know what I'm talking about here, where he was talking to Johnson and Johnson said, it took me nine weeks to get a meeting with Biden. And when I finally get into A meeting with Biden, Kamala, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are in there with me. I said, wait a minute. I had asked. It took me nine weeks to get a one on one meeting. And then Biden said, hey, this is a one on one meeting. Don't need you guys. And so he sort of dismissed him and he said, Mr. President, you signed this thing that said we wouldn't, you know, export natural gas to Europe. And Europe's had pipeline, have you noticed a couple pipelines that were interfered with, maybe a couple bombings, you know. And so we want to export gas to help inflation and the cost of the people of Europe. And it's winter in Europe. They are highly, we talk about heating oil in the northeast United States for winter. Europe needs natural gas during the winter, otherwise their citizens don't have it and it's very expensive. Well, guess what? Biden didn't even remember that. And so when you go back to drill baby drill and making us an energy exporter, not only is that anti inflation and helps the American consumer, it helps so many areas of the economy. Coupled to that backing of a Paris, the Paris Accord, just remember the word to 2 degrees. We're going to, we're going to put a target on fossil fuel because we think, we're not even sure. We think it will keep, you know, global warming the way they want to measure it, which is in dispute itself, you know, within this 2 degree range. And so I thought drill baby drill and the Paris Accord were very, Paris Agreement were very, very big together because of what it means for the US Economy, what it means for the US Consumer and US Businesses. And also remember Kofi Annan used to talk about global warming is nothing he says is an opportunity. I don't have the exact quote, but Kofi Annan used to see global warming as an opportunity to redistribute wealth. Oh, you pay carbon credits to me. You, you made too much pollution. You know, you, you and your country, Vinnie, give me carbon credits. How did that reduce anything? Any emissions?
- [27:30]
Vinny
Nothing.
- [27:31]
Rob
Exactly. So it was like this, it was like an economic joke. So I thought those were my big.
- [27:35]
Patrick Bet-David
I love that. What's interesting with this before Vinny, I come to you is the following. Rob, if you can pull up this chart that Brandon sent to us this morning, most people say, well, you know, all Trump cares about is the oil companies are going to make money. That's what Trump cares about. Watch this, folks. When you think about oil profits, Rob, I don't know if you have it up or not. I can't see it. Okay, so as long as you guys can see it, because I can't see it as where is it? Okay, I can't see it over there. But let me just pull the tweet.
- [28:01]
Rob
That Brandon had here, statistics.
- [28:03]
Patrick Bet-David
So let me just pull it up. So look what it shows there on oil gas industry revenue in the US from 2010 to 2023. Match it to presidents, okay? Match it to presidents. So look at that. Under Obama, oil companies were killing it. They were phenomenal. They're doing so great. Why gas prices was higher, Trump comes in, oil revenue drops. You think they like Trump? You think they're sitting there saying, oh, we're going to make more money than ever before? No, they actually made a ton of money under Obama and Biden. So look at this. Next time somebody brags to you about how much money they're. Look at under Biden, how much money oil companies made. Look at 21, look at 22, look at 23. You see those revenues? Guess what? It's because the savings goes down to the day to day person that Instead of spending $4 a gallon, $5 a gallon, if we go drill, baby, drill, you know what's going to happen in gas prices, Tom? It's going to be a different story. So how do you process this data? When you see this, the average person hears he's all about the rich people, rich, getting richer. But this doesn't say that.
- [29:11]
Rob
So if you look at the chart, one of the things I was looking at is, is you make a good point about it. But if you zoom in a little bit, his last two years is when Obama took a big swing at fossil fuel. Look at 15 and 16, those belong to Obama because November of 16 was the election. So Obama, halfway through his second term, do you remember when he leans over to Vladimir Putin, said, well, after my election I'll have more flexibility to do other things. Remember that? Well, that's what he did here. And on energy, those were Obama policies that took the. From 14 to 15 to 16, Obama stepped on the head of the oil and gas industry. And then you can see it was going up incrementally over Trump, not back to the original number. And then of course Covid is 19, 20, 21. So I think there's some truth to that. But there was also Obama stepping on it during his last two years because, okay, Paris Accord, all these restrictions, not letting people drill, remember they held up. We used to hear about permits, we're hearing about permits in LA with the fires but we used to hear about drilling permits. Remember that? Oh no new permits are being issued and they wanted to do exploratory wells and geo surveys in the anwr, which is up in Alaska, which is rumored to have a ton of oil and gas up there. And Obama kind of stepped on it. So it's a true point about Trump. But also you can take a look at what Obama did as he was walking out the back door.
- [30:37]
Patrick Bet-David
Rob, can you do me a favor and go online on Google and type in a following. Type in gas prices under different presidents. Here we go. Different presidents. And then go to images if you could and I'll tell you which image to click. Go to the fourth image, top right, red, blue. Can you zoom in a little bit on that? Or go to look at that right there. Okay, that's under Bush goes up. Look at Barack Obama gas prices. What does it hit? 368, 358, 344, 358. Right. And then under Trump gas prices never went above 281. Wow. That's what you got to look at. And I Look at Biden. 310, 406, 347.
- [31:17]
Rob
Wow. Right out of the gate.
- [31:18]
Patrick Bet-David
So that's the point when you're looking at this. You know, if, if it, if it replicates what happened in his previous four years. Gas prices are going down and the average day to day family is going to feel it. Vinnie, thoughts on the different executive orders?
- [31:32]
Vinny
I think it's me and Tom had a conversation about it. I think one of the one top two for me. One of them was the, the who, Tom removing because it removed World Health Organization removing us from the WHO because it's. These are unelected global organizations Tom that, that have policies on us for locking us down. Like Tedros, he's the main guy with them. Like I'm so people I don't think you guys understand because if you hear these little hints of all these flus and all this was. It was a Peter Hotez warning us of everything coming down to the pipeline. This removes the power from these people to do a global lock everything down and which we already know what they did with COVID and the other one was the January 6th the 1500 people. And this isn't mind you, these aren't people that have were burning stuff or doing whatever these are 1500. And he mentioned this in his speech a 78 year old grandmother who was just standing there taking pictures of the Capitol. He got. She gets to go home now to her family. I Think that's one of the best things that we're going to get into all the parties because people are like, how. How dare you?
- [32:36]
Patrick Bet-David
And how.
- [32:36]
Vinny
Guess what? He pardoned Michael Byrd. The guy. The only death was Michael Byrd shooting Ashley Babbitt and in my opinion, murdering her. That was the only death. So I'd like imagine all the families of these 1500 people who were standing around that were getting rubber bullets shot at them. And the fact that he's doing that. I saw videos last night of people at the jails celebrating and these people crying because they got to get out of jail. So that was my favorite one.
- [33:02]
Patrick Bet-David
Adam, how about yourself?
- [33:03]
Adam
I got a totally different take than you guys. I respect your guys answers. I don't think it's even close. I think you're both totally off. I think you guys. Those are the things that you mentioned. I think Those are number 5, 6, 7, 8.
- [33:14]
Rob
Why don't you just get to the one you picked, Tom.
- [33:18]
Adam
Nothing. Let me speak.
- [33:19]
Patrick Bet-David
They had a rough night last night, guys. Adam. Adam. At the Liberty Ball, they. But anyways, go ahead. What was your favorite? What was your favorite?
- [33:28]
Adam
That I actually hung out with a woman last night.
- [33:30]
Vinny
Oh. Oh.
- [33:31]
Adam
Three dudes hanging out in a circle.
- [33:32]
Vinny
All right, so here's the point. Okay, so. Oh, we're not gonna. Oh, you're. Okay. We're just gonna deflect.
- [33:36]
Rob
Turned over a new leaf.
- [33:37]
Vinny
And I want to know what the audience is when you walk in with your crew.
- [33:39]
Adam
I'm not interrupting the old man.
- [33:41]
Vinny
No, no.
- [33:41]
Adam
He started crazy, guys.
- [33:42]
Vinny
No, no, I'm crazy guy.
- [33:44]
Adam
I'm just gonna.
- [33:45]
Vinny
I just want to know what the public thinks. Is that brought it up? Hold on. When you walk into a place with your team, with your crew, and you're talking me into going, which I wasn't gonna go, and we all walk in together and then you vanish, what does that say about you guys?
- [33:59]
Adam
Okay, it says I had to take a leak.
- [34:02]
Vinny
Okay. But it was good.
- [34:03]
Adam
We walk in.
- [34:03]
Vinny
You were talking to girls.
- [34:04]
Adam
Just vanished.
- [34:05]
Vinny
You were talking to girls. Go ahead.
- [34:07]
Adam
Okay.
- [34:08]
Patrick Bet-David
Go ahead.
- [34:08]
Adam
Guys, it's. You're lucky I have thick skin over here.
- [34:11]
Rob
Two hour leak. You should see a doctor.
- [34:13]
Adam
Go ahead, Tom. The comedy act is off the chains these days. The point is this. What is the biggest thing? What is the biggest difference? What a difference four years makes. You said common sense prevails. I said at the beginning of this election, the least craziest person is going to win this election. So you know how they say that politics is downstream from culture? Guys, the last four years, think about it. They didn't know what a woman was. They couldn't define a woman. Trump gets on stage and says, guys, breaking news. There's only two genders. Sorry. Sorry if I offended anybody. There's only two genders. Four years ago, I didn't know what DEI was. I didn't know what mei was. I didn't know what ESG was. I knew what a woman was. Matt Walsh, Daily Wire, who we saw and hung out with, came out with a movie. What is a woman? People couldn't answer the question, okay? They came up with critical race theory, Hamas, some of bin Laden are the good guys. Now. Gays for Gaza is all the rage. What is happening here then when they start burning the American flag? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. So what happened was people lost their damn mind after Trump took office. After January 6, during COVID people lost their mind. And all this stuff is downstream of everything. J6, oil, all that. If you don't know the difference between a man and a woman, I'm sorry, we're going to start right there and then everything else will come into place. That's my answer.
- [35:37]
Patrick Bet-David
Well, that's, that's, to me, the biggest thing that you're talking about is the fact that we got back to common sense. I think that's very important.
- [35:45]
Adam
Did you ever see the clip when the lady goes, excuse me, sir, it's ma'am, right?
- [35:49]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [35:49]
Patrick Bet-David
It's like, no. Right. And what's weak? Now, if you ask somebody that lives in California or Texas or Arizona, they're going to tell you it's the border. Okay? If you talk to somebody who goes to parties and skips the guys to go hang out with girls, they're going to say man and woman, gender. Right. If you talk to somebody who is on tick tock, they're going to say, it's tick tock. If you talk to somebody that is in jail because of J6 and their families are not with them, you know, because someone's in jail, that's going to be J6. But if you talk to somebody who dealt with the manipulation of World Health Organization and forcing people to do things because they, the globalist thought, oh, my God, here's what we're going to be doing, then you're going to say World Health Organization. But if you, if you talk to somebody that lost a job to another person for diversity and, you know, equity and like, wait a minute, I'm better at the job than you. What are you doing? Then it's going to be the. I mean, it's really. It really comes down to how any of these policies directly impact somebody. But the biggest factor for me was the fact it was common sense. Tom, you brought something up and we haven't talked about it because we haven't done a podcast since Thursday. Right, Rob? Okay, so one of the things that was dropped, because last. Was it Thursday or Friday, we went to a Spotify event. There was a small Spotify event with 25 of us, which I thought it was amazing. All in Podcast was there. Jason was sitting to my left. Chamat was here, David was here. Dusty, which shout out to Dusty from Spotify. She is amazing. Amazing. Her, Jordan, they did a great job, but she's something else. And then there was Sagar, there was Matt Walsh, there was Lex Friedman on this side. We had a very good conversation together. It was. It was probably one of the best conversations that should have been recorded, obviously. Private meeting. And then we had a meeting with YouTube and we met the CEO of Google. We had a great conversation with him. We had a great conversation with CEO of YouTube. And you know, one of the things, both of them, Google and YouTube. And one of the things, I think you were there when I said to him, I said, look, you know, Spotify did xyz. It'd be great for you guys to do more of these things because I think YouTube has a good platform, but people don't yet trust to see what's going to happen. It's great that you're doing something like this, but we don't know what's going to happen while there. Barry Wise interview Speaker Johnson. Okay. And folks, there is this last week we did a video on PsyOps and how much more information we consume today than ever before. And the problem with the amount of information that we consume today is what, what happens when, you know, you make a lot of money and you're always going to nice restaurants and always eating good food. You become a little bit deaf to good food. You're like, you're used to it. It's no longer like, oh, my God, we're going to a nice restaurant. Versus when I was 13 years old in LA, we went to Sizzlers the first time. I thought we were millionaires. I'm telling you, I was like, if you have that clip, I mean, you know. Yeah, this one right here. So Barry is doing a great job and she, by the way, she always gets information from people. I love what she does. But Speaker Johnson is telling the story about how he couldn't get to talk to Biden. And the reason why I'm getting to this, and Tom, I want to come to you first with this one here is there's, there's a story in our addendum, which by the way, very soon, those of you guys that want to know the notes we look at, you're going to have a way of getting it on Manect. And stay tuned. We'll announce it here. Too soon, there's a story that comes out that says Biden's final humiliation. Most Americans can't name a single success. What do you mean you can't name a single success? They can't name a single success what he did. And Tom will go a little bit deeper into that, but he's saying, I'm trying to get a meeting with the president and I can't. Speaker Johnson, he is like, if something happens to him and to Kamala, he's the president. So I can't get a meeting with Biden. What do you mean? Everybody's just saying, no, no, no, no, no. And then he's telling a story about a moment where he is there with him. Kamala Hakeem Jeffries. I'll let him tell you the story. This is very, very important for people to realize this because due to the amount of information that we're getting, it's like, boom, and we move on. Some of the information is so important that we have to highlight and spend some time talking about it, but we can't because it just moved on. It was so quick. Play this clip. I would ask you to listen to everything he says, and then I'll tell you why this is important. And I'm going to show you a chart. Rob, go ahead and play this clip with Speaker Johnson, with Barry Weiss.
- [40:19]
Kamala Harris
I do stand by it, and I say this without any personal animus at all. I mean, in some ways, I actually kind of feel sorry for Joe Biden. I mean, he's in the twilight years of his. His life. He is not, obviously, has not been in charge for some time. And I know this by personal observation. And now the whole world knows it. And it's been very, very concerning to me over the last, you know, year and a half since I've had this.
- [40:39]
Patrick Bet-David
Can you tell us a story when you say personal observation?
- [40:42]
Kamala Harris
Well, I mean, this is. It's public now because the Wall Street Journal got it and put it on the front page. But January, a year ago, almost exactly a year ago, I had been asked. I became speaker in October 2023, and there were all sorts of big national security concerns and everything going on. Started requesting a meeting with the President because, you know, I'm kind of old school. I'm a constitutional law guy. Speaker of the House should be able to talk to the President, especially in times of great national.
- [41:06]
Patrick Bet-David
Makes sense.
- [41:06]
Kamala Harris
Interesting.
- [41:08]
Patrick Bet-David
Yes.
- [41:08]
Kamala Harris
But they wouldn't let me meet with him, and his staff kept putting. Getting in excuses. This went on for like eight or nine weeks. I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, he doesn't have time.
- [41:14]
Patrick Bet-David
Eight or nine weeks?
- [41:15]
Kamala Harris
What are you talking about? I'm second line of the presidency. He has time. I need to talk to him.
- [41:18]
Patrick Bet-David
Eight or nine weeks.
- [41:19]
Kamala Harris
We had. I can't say the classified parts, but we had some big, big national concerns at the time that I was losing sleep over. Finally, I just went to the Hill press corps and I said, the President is not being allowed to meet with the Speaker. There's a problem. So they started putting pressure on him. Long story short, they finally relented. They invited me to the White House. I show up and I realize it's actually an ambush because it's not just me and the President. It's also Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem, you know, the whole. The CIA director every and then. So I walked in the Oval and ah, I know what this is. This is a. They're going to hot box the speaker on Ukraine.
- [41:51]
Patrick Bet-David
Watch this.
- [41:52]
Kamala Harris
That's what it was. This is probably third week of January. We sit down, we're in the midst of it and the whole conversation and I'm going, we don't need to have this conversation. The President reaches over just like this. We're sitting in the. Right next to the fireplace in the Oval, and he grabs my arm and he says, the speaker and I just need a couple minutes together. Will y'all just leave us alone? And I looked up on the faces of some of the staff standing around the wall, and they're like, oh, no, he did it.
- [42:13]
Patrick Bet-David
So they.
- [42:13]
Kamala Harris
He called it. He's the Commander in chief. So everybody leaves and he and I are standing awkwardly in the middle of the Oval Office, right over the rug by that coffee table. And I said, Mr. President, thanks for the moments. You know, this is very important security things. I need to talk to you about that, I think, you know, and what do we do?
- [42:28]
Patrick Bet-David
And.
- [42:28]
Kamala Harris
But first, real quickly, Mr. President, can I ask you a question? I cannot answer this from my constituents in Louisiana. Sir, why did you pause export to Europe? Like, I don't understand. You know, liquefied natural gas is in great Demand by our allies. Why would you do that? Because you understand we just talked about Ukraine. You understand you're fueling Vladimir Putin's war machine because they got to get their gas from him. You know, and he looks at me stunned with this. And he said, I didn't, I didn't do that. And I said, Bingo, Mr. President, yes, you did. It was an executive order, like, you know, three weeks ago. And he goes, no, I didn't do that. And he's arguing with me. I said, Mr. President, respect for. Could I go out here and ask your secretary to print it out? We'll read it together. You definitely did that. And he goes, oh, you talk about natural gas? Yes, sir. He said, no, no, you misunderstand. He said, what I did is I signed this thing to. We're going to conduct a study on the effects of lng. I said, no, you're not, sir. You paused it. I know. I have the terminal, the export terminals in my state. I talked to those people this morning. This is doing massive damage to our economy and our security. It occurred to me, Barry, he was not lying to me. He genuinely did not know. And I walked out of that meeting with fear because I thought, yeah, we're in serious trouble. Who is running the country? Like, I don't know who put the.
- [43:42]
Patrick Bet-David
Paper in front of. But he didn't know. Listen, you can pause it right there. To me, that's number one. Because the fact, folks, that the last four years we didn't end up getting into a war. World War three didn't happen. Shit didn't hit the fan. Whatever you do today, take a moment and pray to God and say thank you.
- [44:05]
Vinny
Yes.
- [44:05]
Patrick Bet-David
The fact that didn't happen because he was a prop. Akeem, Jeffries, Schumer, Kamala, maybe a method through Obama. All of these guys were using him as a prop based on him saying, I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? By the way, I'm a CEO. I don't know how I. How many C suite executives do I have? Multi six figure guy guys that report to me in all the companies combined? C suite executives, let's just say five of them. Okay, so if I got five of them that are. And how many do you have that are reporting to you? Another five.
- [44:40]
Rob
I got three of them.
- [44:40]
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, so how many of them? If they needed to get a hold of me, they would get a hold of me. What do they need to do to get a hold of me? If they need to have a 15.
- [44:47]
Rob
Minute meeting, I ensure that they have access, transparency for emergency orders.
- [44:51]
Patrick Bet-David
But if they needed to do it, what would they do?
- [44:53]
Rob
They would text you immediately, okay, so.
- [44:55]
Patrick Bet-David
Let'S go to a bigger organization. Go to an organization like Apple, Tim Cook. Go to a bigger organization like Amazon, Andy Jassy or Jeff Bezos. Go to Facebook, Zuck. Go to, you know, Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter. Do you think if the number two to Elon, to Tim Cook, 20 of these guys, if they want to have a meeting with him today, what do you think they need to do to get on a call eight or nine weeks, that could be the prevention of a war. What are you talking about? The fact that Speaker Johnson couldn't get a. And the reason why this is important. Rob, I just sent a chart to you. It's very important for us to understand this and analyze this, folks, moving forward, because this is the problem we're facing. Here's the study that was done by this article. Guys, I think everybody needs to look at this. It's explaining the definition defining the future of human information consumption. Okay? And this is the problem that we have. Go a little bit lower, Rob, if you could keep going to the first big chart. Keep going. Okay. Look at that one right there, folks. Do you see that chart? Here's what that chart says. It says percentage of waking hours consuming information. Let me say this to you one more time. Look at that chart. This is scary, Vinnie. That's the percentage of your waking hours consuming information in 1900s was only 10% of your time.
- [46:13]
Vinny
It was word of mouth, right? People were newspaper.
- [46:15]
Patrick Bet-David
Go to 80s. Yeah, it's 40% today. 80% of your waking hours, you're consuming information. If you go a little bit above that, Rob, it says the average Global Consumer spends 82 hours a week consuming information. That's. People say, well, nobody works 80 hours a week. Your brain is working 80 hours a week just consuming information right now.
- [46:40]
Vinny
Okay?
- [46:40]
Patrick Bet-David
And assuming the average of 7 hours of sleep per night, this means 69% of your waking hours is engaged on consuming information. So here's the question. Somebody sends me something the other day, two days ago. The guy says, hey, Pat, check this out. Look at this guy hanging out with this guy. Look at this guy hanging out with that from the insurance company, you know, whatever's from the previous 15 years ago. And I text back to the contact, I said, signal. And then, what is that? You know what that thing is? Noise. What do you call this thing? That's greater than. Greater than. Yeah, Signal is greater than noise.
- [47:13]
Rob
Yep.
- [47:14]
Patrick Bet-David
You know what the point Was, hey, stop giving me noise. One of the words for this year. Why am I sharing this with you? Speaker Johnson saying this to Barry Weiss and he's just going, oh, I forgot about what happened. That was just five days ago. Four days ago.
- [47:28]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [47:29]
Patrick Bet-David
And maybe the biggest story that was dropped before Trump becoming president, the fact that Biden was never president, this was all an act and he was controlled. And the speaker of the House, the number two guy beyond the president is saying something like this. Tom, for you, when you hear something like this and specifically the story when people are saying what is the biggest accomplishment? How do you process all of this?
- [47:50]
Rob
Well, I back, first of all, I think it's, it's horrifying and really unfortunate that only 37% of people surveyed. This was a survey of a thousand people. So this is a reasonable survey from a very reasonable organization. Across Democrats and Republicans, only 37% strongly agreed that they, that they could not recall one. 37% said, I strongly feel I can't recall one. Well, what, what trends or what themes do you remember? I remember inflation and I remember unemployment and I remember his mental fitness. Those are the three things. It's like when you're talking to a citizen right before the election, remember we covered this valuetainment, had, you know, weekly election countdown shows and guess what people wanted to talk about inflation, immigration and the overall economy in their state. Right. Inflation was personal. That's what they want. So they go here. But I back up to, and I think that's tragic that that's all people remember. You know why? Because there's nothing else to remember. Then go to Speaker Johnson. Listen very carefully to what happened there. We had natural gas workers shut down. So people with jobs had their jobs. Whether it was either furloughs or people shut down in Louisiana where they were shipping natural gas out, workers hurt. We weren't drilled, we weren't, we weren't exporting the natural gas. So we're not making money on that. There is no reason for the US to be doing that. So my greater question, Pat, was who called that shot and how did they get it through the people that were putting that paper in front of Biden? That shot was a non American benefit. Absolutely not. That somebody got a piece of paper under Biden's hand and got him to sign it. My concern is if he's not the President, good Lord, who was? And why were they doing something that was against our workers, our economy, our best interest, and helping Europe through a cold winter get natural gas so that you don't have them buying it from Putin. You know, I look at that and I'm like, china would like that, right? You know, certain people would like that. Globalists would like that. Nobody who's thinking about the best interests of the United States are allies. Allies would want that. That's what scares the hell out of me of that very specific situation.
- [50:19]
Vinny
And you call and you called it that for all the people out there who are still kind of lost in La la land that is called the deep state. And let's be honest, Pat, we knew it all along. If you didn't, you were lying to yourself from the beginning, from the moment he took office. I can't talk to you. They told me I couldn't. They now, you know, I remember that. Thank you, Tom. And it's like, are you guys. And that's the problem with the people that are just duped into this identity politics. Well, it's my side. This blind loyalty to Democrat and Republican. Okay? It's BS because it's. You guys see it and now you know it. And who knows what else they've done. Tom. What? Every single decision now after hearing that is tainted. I've never trusted him. You understand exactly what's going on with this guy. And it's all those people. It's all the puppets he named. Who. Did you notice who he named? Who do you name, Pat? Chuck Schumer. Who else? Hakeem Jeffries. Okay. The CIA director. That's all of these people. Guys that have been making decisions. And the President of the United States who's gone, and thank God he is. It couldn't have come sooner. Was nothing. He made zero decisions. And it's all those people. Every single one of those people that he mentioned, or the problem with what's happening with this country. And I'm so happy that it's over. It's done.

Patrick Bet-David
Adam.
- [51:40]
Adam
So the question is, what were Biden's greatest accomplishments?
- [51:43]
Patrick Bet-David
No, the question. No, the question is when you're seeing what's going on, Speaker Johnson, and information kind of goes like this. We were being hit up by so much information. How do you differentiate between BS and something actually matters? America was being ran by somebody that wasn't actually leading the country. His people were right.
- [52:01]
Adam
Well, I think it's pretty clear at this point that we were all lied to for four years about his cognitive decline. What was going on with his health. We saw that absolute gaffe machine happen when he debated Trump before Kamala replaced him. But I think a few things here. Number one, what we're going to see is more accountability, more transparency, and more actual answers. One of my favorite moments with you is when you were sitting with Trump, Patrick, and you said to Trump, one of my favorite moments of yours, of your administration, was when you were in the room with Chuck, Chuck Schumer and Nancy, and you said it was vlog style, I believe you called it. And you're like, all right, no, no, no, no. You know, if you don't want to, if you don't want to shut down the government, I'll own it, Chuck. I'll own it. And he goes, okay. And boom. We saw what happened. That, that's complete transparency. We had the exact opposite of transparency with the Biden administration. Now, you know, Trump's coming out there basically saying there's going to be the golden age of America. I think a lot of that will have to do with saving money versus spending money. When I think of the Biden administration, when I think of what they've done and I think of their accomplishments, and I'm going to list some of the accomplishments. You know, if you're a Biden fan or someone that, like, voted for Kamala this time around, you might be like, well, what about the American rescue plan in 2021? What about that? Well, you know, they printed $2 trillion, right? Inflation went up. All right, well, what about the Infrastructure and Jobs Act? Another trillion dollars. What about the Chips and Science Act? More money. What about the Inflation Reduction act, which actually had nothing to do with inflation, was actually climate change. So it's like, what, what happened there? All that had to do to me was spend more money, spend more money, spend more money. Quantitativeities and quantitative tightening, everything. We talked about that. So what happened with that? The byproduct was this. I think you can agree with this. The rich got richer. Elon's richer, Bezos is richer, Zuck's richer, we're richer. But the have nots are all poor. If you have assets, if you own a home, if you own stocks, if you own crypto, you're richer than you were likely four years ago. But for the average man, for the average woman, the average person trying to start a family, the average Gen Z, the average millennial, they're like, yo, what about me, Biden? And nothing worked out in their favor. So in that regard, I think a lot of people are going to say, you did nothing for me, Biden.
- [54:22]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. I mean, in other words, Biden greatest accomplishment was he helped the rich get richer, the poor get poor.
- [54:27]
Adam
I agree.
- [54:28]
Patrick Bet-David
That's his greatest Accomplishment.
- [54:29]
Adam
I agree.
- [54:30]
Patrick Bet-David
Yesterday, we're driving. It's so interesting. We're in the car, we're driving with the driver here. And I got Tico and Dylan, which, by the way, let me. Let me share with you what a special moment these boys had yesterday. Rob, I'm going to send you a couple pictures. I haven't even posted these, so you guys are seeing this before anybody else does. There was a couple moments. It was so funny. I'm walking around with these guys at the ball, and I'm telling. I'm asking the guys. I'm like, hey, can you guys please talk to my boys and let them know, you know, my oldest son, Patrick, he flirts with girls a little bit too much. And Patrick's like, he's the last guy. He's like, what can you tell me for him? Just give him some feedback. How do I get my oldest son to stop talking to girls as much as he does? We're over here and Tico's looking at me like, why are you saying this? Anyways, we're having a good time, but, Rob, I send a picture, so if you can pull them up and we'll go through them. But we're driving home, okay? And so Dylan starts asking me questions about politics. And Tico is saying, well, what about this and what about that? And what? Well, those guys are Democrats, right? And those guys are Republicans, right? But, daddy, John F. Kennedy, who was a great president, he was a Democrat. So, you know, wasn't he a great president? I said, yeah, he was. Rob, do you have the pictures or no?
- [55:46]
Rob
Yeah, it's gonna take a second, but it is going.
- [55:48]
Patrick Bet-David
You want me to do an airdrop instead? Okay, so he was a great president. I said, yeah, so what happened to John F. Kennedy if he was a great president? I said, here's a part that you don't understand, okay? I said, a part you don't understand is the following. I broke it down on four different things. I said, first, you have Republican and conservative, Republican and Democrat. Okay, great. Then you have the left and the right. Then you have the globalist and you have the nationalist. Tico says, oh, like white nationalists. I said, no, no, not white nationalist, nationalist. And I'll explain to you what that is. And then you have the establishment and anti establishment. Okay, great. So Kennedys were hated by the establishment. And some say Lyndon Johnson, who was all Texas establishment, Democrat, was behind John F. Kennedy dying because Johnson wanted to be a president the way he did it is what, boom.
- [56:41]
Vinny
Get him on.
- [56:42]
Patrick Bet-David
Eliminate Kennedy. He couldn't stand the Irish Catholic, all that stuff. Okay?
- [56:47]
Vinny
Anti war.
- [56:48]
Patrick Bet-David
So these guys are anti war. Okay. Kennedys, these guys, lower taxes. These guys wanted this place to be safe, okay? And the establishment was like, hell no war. All this a military, industrial. So I said, kennedy today would have been an anti establishment nationalist Republican today. Kennedy's today. My opinion then, nationalists are. I said, you remember when you met that man from Paraguay? The President of Paraguay? Yeah. What about good looking man? Yeah, what about him? He's a nationalist. His number one priority is what? Paraguay. He says, okay. I said, Viktor Orban. All these other guys were talking about, they're nationalists, right? They love their country. There's nothing wrong with your country being number one. Great. And then as we're going through this process, he eventually says, well then, dad, is it fair to say that I'm a conservative Republican, nationalist, anti establishment guy? I said, that's probably you. He said, that's what I am. I think that's me, right? He's kind of breaking himself up.
- [57:53]
Vinny
This is Tico.
- [57:53]
Patrick Bet-David
This is Tico. And then the driver, African American guy with four kids. And he's listening to this and he says, I've never had anybody explain it that way before. That makes sense. I am that. So why am I sharing this? The reason why I'm sharing this is because think about what just happened with this clip with Speaker Johnson we're watching. The globalists don't want America to be first, Right? The establishment doesn't want Trump to come in and get rid of all the BS that they have with all the executive orders. They've had so much control. They don't want that. Dei. What is dei? Trump's like, it's all going to be about merit. It's not going to be about your race, skin or any of that stuff. And look at his lineup of people that were speaking. Cash Patel, all these other guys. That era is here. And by the way, this is the pictures from last night. Rob, if you can pull up some of them, this is them meeting Connor. That was their favorite. They're like, oh, my God, he is so energized. Why is he so fired up? Look at Dylan's face. If you can zoom in a little bit, zoom in a little bit there and then look at Daily.
- [58:55]
Vinny
Yeah, there he is.
- [58:56]
Patrick Bet-David
Go to the next picture, Rob. Connor was classic with everybody. This is Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi, okay. We approached, we spoke to her first. I met her husband and then fellow says, hey, this is Pam Bondi's husband. I said, no, I Said, now it makes sense. I said we were bragging about how beautiful your wife is. But I said, now I get it. You're also good looking. You look like you're in Hollywood. They had a great conversation with him and then with her as well. If you want to go to the next picture, this is done with Emily Austin. I told Emily, Patrick's flirting with girls a little too much.
- [59:25]
Vinny
Oh, yeah. So you said to him, okay, so.
- [59:26]
Patrick Bet-David
Look at height already, by the way. Go to the next one. Okay. Dylan's got the Superman hair. And then this was very interesting. The Paul brothers with the bed. David brothers.
- [59:38]
Adam
That's so cool, man.
- [59:39]
Patrick Bet-David
It was so. It was a. It was a great. And by the way, John Jones. Well, everybody was. There was such a great time last night. But that, that's the. That's the new era we're going through. Anyways, let's talk about pardons.
- [59:48]
Vinny
Okay.
- [59:49]
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, let's talk about pardons. So while Trump is giving his inauguration speech, he has no idea what's going on, and he talks about it afterwards. What does he do? He had already known that Biden pardoned Fauci, millie, and the January 6 panel, which means they can't get in trouble for fabricating any other thing because it's done. So all the lies, all the documents, the 10,000 documents that they're saying was shredded, that Trump claimed it was shredded, no one's going to be able to see because they're pardoned. Right? Now, imagine that happens to the day of you're about to give inauguration. You're ready to go after Fauci to find out what happened, or Millie, or go after all these guys. Right? Can't. It's done. Pardons there. And you are still biting your tongue because you're about to see this guy that does this, and you're gonna give your speech. You're gonna become a president. While all these guys sitting to your left, the Kamalas, the Bidens, the Obamas, the Clintons, all of these guys sitting to the left were causing mayhem in your personal life for four years. They try to make your life a living hell. And in quietly. What does Biden do when Trump's on stage in the final hours? He pardons relatives, family members, brothers. He didn't do that with the Fauci and others. He did it while Trump was getting up there. Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to safeguard individuals from potential reprisals, Reprisals by incumbent President Trump recipients, including five Biden family members, brothers James and Francis Biden. Sister Valerie Biden owns wife sister and her husband, John Owens. Not the John Owens we know. This is a different John Owens and James's wife Sarah, as well as figures like General Milley Foushee and members of the bipartisan family. Biden stated, these are exceptional circumstances. Baseless and political motivated investigations wreak havoc. Okay. Many recipients viewed the pardons as necessary due to threats from Trump, who promised retribution and labeled the January 6th Committee Political Thugs like Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and other committee members issued a statement saying, we have been pardoned today not for breaking the law, but for upholding it. Police officer Michael Fanon, involved in the Capitol riot defense, called the pardons insane, but understood their necessity given Trump's promise of vengeance. When you hear these things, Adam, how do you process it that the pardons happen while the President's up there? Specifically the family?
- [62:21]
Adam
Well, look, I mean, we all like sports. We like playing in a game. The last two minutes of the game is usually the most important a game. The last two minutes in an NFL game might take a half hour. The last two minutes of an NBA game might take 20 minutes. And in the last two minutes of the Biden administration before the shot clock, three, two, one, at the buzzer, pardon everybody. And he didn't even give time for Trump to even process it to say this in his inaugural speech. So then Trump, at all the, how many, by the way, do you think Trump even took a break yesterday? He was going from event to event to event to event to event. He got onto the, to the Liberty Ball stage and he goes, look, they told me not to say it at the inauguration speech. I didn't do it. But now he's like, effort. This Biden administration is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, the worst administration I've ever seen. The fact that he's, he just went ham on Biden. So of course, if you're doing shady things at the end, at the shot clock, the buzzer, you're going to basically ask for pardons. And then I made a great tweet yesterday. I said, oh, yeah, he pardoned his entire family, but he forgot to pardon himself, right, Tom?
- [63:38]
Rob
He did. My reaction to all that was I was not surprised. And here's why I wasn't surprised. They worked, man. They worked tooth and nail to prevent the investigation because there was an investigation that was going on. I mean, nevermind Hunter's laptop. They had got into the financial records and there were how many of those, Vinny, you remember that? You, Adam, you remember it too. Remember how many accounts and sub accounts there were where money was going to Biden family members? And they had tracked it. They had tracked it. They had the digital fingerprint of why were these amounts of money getting split up and they were going to all of these Biden family accounts. The answer is Hunter was on the energy board of that energy company, I.
- [64:26]
Adam
Believe is what you're talking about, Burisma.
- [64:28]
Rob
And got some sort of payments and for some reason those payments were getting split up and waterfall over the whole family. And so at the buzzer, what did he had to do? He had to cover the whole tribe. Now, there's something interesting I read a day ago when this was, you know, the Biden pardons, we were, all of us here, we had kind of a text thread among us. We were saying, like, what is a pardon? Well, I went in and looked, and Gerald Ford's reasoning for pardoning Richard Nixon is he felt that his resignation and the public comments made of the resignation was an admission of guilt. A pardon used to be something that comes to you after the world is convinced and you've gone through this thing called due process and you're guilty and you're actually serving some time, or you're indicted and you're on the edge of the cliff. The court case is almost done, but they agonize on whether they should remember Gerald Ford was a longstanding member of the House of Representatives. He was actually on the Warren Commission for the Kennedy assassination, which is a whole nother story. But Gerald Ford said, I don't know if we should pardon Richard Nixon. And he was talked into it because they said, well, his resignation and the comments he made and the additional comments he's made publicly, it's an admission of guilt. And since it's an admission of guilt, I can pardon Richard Nixon. That's what a pardon does. That's what it's done. Historically, what Biden did was gave all of his family members Teflon vests. Nothing's going to stick. Hey, you can investigate. You can do that. Not one of these people had been indicted. Not one of these people had been pulled in front of a special committee. Not one of these people been pulled in front of a grand jury. He just goes, all right, this is what we're going to do here. Everybody gets a pardon. A pardon for what? He just wrapped all of his family in a Teflon suit.
- [66:30]
Vinny
It's an admission of guilt, Tom, is exactly what it is. But you know what, guys? I blame Donald Trump. I blame Donald Trump. He showed his hand Way too early, said everything that he was going to do. And this is what they did, Tom. This is Trump jumping ahead and saying, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that. He should have stayed quiet. Everybody says that we're these blind loyalists. No, no, that's a problem that I had, Tom. He said everything that he was going to do. So all those people around him, the Chuck Schumer's, the Nancy Pelosi's, the Obamas, hunter, everybody said, dad or Mr. Biden, please help us, help us. He's going to do this. Ok? And especially after hearing what Speaker Johnson said in that interview with Barry Weiss. They, they were all, he's not making any decisions. Which I think it's all bs. But let's think about it. Schiff doesn't have a pardon. Alejandro Mayorkas doesn't have a pardon. I think now he should be going after those people that made the decisions because one of the worst ones, and Pat, you guys saw this, I tweeted it yesterday. Was Dr. Mr. Fauci, whatever you want to call him. I think that's one of the, the most spit in the face. I made the comparison to him, to that guy. Tom, you actually told me his name. Who was that? Hitler's Nazi scientist, Joseph Mengele. He experimented on children with all that stuff. Fauci experimented with HIV positive orphans with experimental drugs causing side effects. He did all these experiments on kids vaccinating all these freaking children. Everything that he did, everything that Fauci did to give him. And mind you, he was under Trump. He was under what, seven, I believe, Rob administrations or presidencies. That is one of those, in my opinion, those deep state actors that main goal was to destroy this country. If you've read the Real Dr. Fauci, which you told me to read, I still can't believe that book is true. Still to this day, I think that's one of the biggest spits in the face. And that's why when I hear people say, oh, you think it's cool that he pardoned January 6th people that yelled and hit a cop, I don't give a shit. Sorry for my language. I want all of them out of jail. If Dr. Fauci, to me, who has crimes against humanity, okay, is going to walk free for the rest of his life and get Secret Service protection that I'm paying for. To hell with that. I wanted everybody from January 6th. That's the biggest problem that I have. So is that guy.
- [68:43]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, I Mean, Look, Tom, here's a question for you. This is your opinion again when you.
- [68:46]
Vinny
Yeah, all my opinion.
- [68:48]
Patrick Bet-David
Tom, let me ask you. Aside from Nixon, Ford, who else in the history of presidents has been pardoned for not committing a crime? Matter of fact, Rob, if you can go online and type in, because this is what I did, I texted all of you guys, what's the definition of a pardon? And just go to the top and let's read it together to the audience, gang, if you don't mind. Do it on your own phone if you can't see it. Okay, definition of a pardon. Okay, if you go up there, I think I put something else. Well, the action of forgiving or being forgiven for any errors or offense, he obtained pardon for his sins. Okay, so if. If you. If you type in who do presidents pardon? Just type in who do presidents pardon? Perfect. That's the explanation. Zoom in a little bit. Pardons extend to all federal criminal offenses, except in cases of impeachment, and entail various forms of clemency, including commuting or postponing a sentence, remitting a final restitution, delaying the imposition of punishment, and proving amnesty of an entire group or class of individuals. So what's the key word? Federal criminal offenses. Okay, so what is Foushee a criminal? Is Mayorkas is merely a criminal. Are Biden's siblings all criminals? What president in the history has ever pardoned their siblings? Rob, can you Google what president in the history of presidents has pardoned their siblings? Which president pardoned their family? Which president? If you type in. I'm actually curious, and I don't know the answer to this question, so maybe a lot of them. But if you want to find out which president. Vinny, you want to go ask on ChatGPT and ask which presidents pardoned their relatives. So Bill Clinton pardoned his brother for. Roger Clinton, President brother was pardoned for drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade earlier. So this is for a crime he committed. This is not for a crime he didn't.
- [70:58]
Vinny
Convicted.
- [70:59]
Rob
Convicted.
- [71:01]
Vinny
Just Bill Clinton pardon his half brother, and then Jimmy Carter did his actual brother for tax evasion, but he actually committed the crime.
- [71:08]
Adam
Thank you.
- [71:09]
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, thank you. So you tell me when Rudy Giuliani, who the guy's. His reputation. You know what they've done to this guy? When I went to his place and we were doing Mafia States of America, okay, I'm in this room, I'm in New York, and he's telling me, I had the laptop. FBI came, they did not want to see what's in the laptop. This is the Biden crime family. His wards in mafia states, America. I'm like, oof. The Biden crime family, the Biden crime family. Then you come in and pardon your entire family. And Bill Clinton pardoned his brother, Roger Clinton, who did his entire time, Jimmy Carden, pardon his brother for tax evasion. What crime did Biden's family commit? Oh, I got it. So you know what this is? You guys ever seen a movie, Minority Report?
- [71:56]
Vinny
Of course.
- [71:57]
Patrick Bet-David
What's the movie Minority Report about?
- [71:59]
Vinny
Stopping the crime before it happens. Called Pre crime. Because you got psychics that know that you're going to do the said crime.
- [72:05]
Patrick Bet-David
So being able to use predictive technology to say you're about to commit a crime in the next six months, let's arrest you now. Right. You know what Biden uses a level above Minority Report?
- [72:14]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [72:14]
Patrick Bet-David
Biden uses a technology called. These are people that have committed crimes that they're about to get arrested in the future, but I'm pardoning them before they get arrested.
- [72:24]
Vinny
Exactly.
- [72:24]
Patrick Bet-David
It's a minority report on steroids.
- [72:26]
Vinny
Yep.
- [72:26]
Patrick Bet-David
So, so this is, this is again, so when anybody else, by the way, Democrats who are sitting there saying, how the hell do I create content the next four years? Meaning what do I say when they say, well, look at President Trump, Biden, you can't say shit. Yep, the guy pardoned his kids, the guy pardoned Foushee, the guy pardoned. Anybody that got a pardon, that didn't have any kind of criminal offenses, indirectly is a criminal according to Biden's method of doing this. By the way, Trump said something very interesting in his speech. Very interesting in his speech. And by the way, this guy is a maniac. Trump is a maniac. Let me tell you guys, they're telling stories. Just yesterday, he's been up since 4 o'clock in the morning. He's signing things, he's going to the church in the morning, the services, then he goes to the inauguration. His wife is walking around with the shoes, giving speeches after speeches, after speeches. The ball, the Starlight Ball, you know when they got off the stage, when they're dancing, 12:31 o'clock is a final dance with J.D. vance. He's still up there giving a speech. This Guy worked a 20 hour shift at 78 years old doing executive orders. And he's talking to the media when they're talking shit to him and he's going back and forth, you know what he said? He says, do you guys know my first term, I Had the opportunity to pardon myself and a lot of people were advising me, saying, you should pardon yourself. You should pardon yourself. I said, why would I pardon myself? If I pardon myself, that means I'm guilty. I'm not guilty of anything. That's why I never pardoned myself. Why would anybody pardon themselves in advance? Because they are guilty. I wasn't guilty. He says, I think we won the 2020 election. I think we did this. I think we did. Look what happened. What a. The amount of moral authority they just gave, they handed to him. They can't say nothing to him for the next four years. They literally can't say nothing to him for the next four years.
- [74:17]
Adam
Well, you know who just validated exactly what you said? Who's that was chat GPT exact portion of what you just read about Bill Clinton's brother. They said there's Bill Clinton who parted his brother, Roger Clinton, who committed a crime like you said, a cocaine distribution, 1980s. The other, other person on this list was Donald Trump. They said potential family pardons. Toward the end of Donald Trump presidency, there was speculation that he might pardon all his family, including Don Jr, Ivanka Eric, his son in law, Jaron Kushner. But ultimately he did not pardon any family members. Speaking in existence to exactly what you said, why would I need to do that? But there's another thing. This is, and this kind of goes to what Vinnie's saying. You know when, you know, when Babe Ruth like called his shot, he's like, all right, I'm gonna hit a home run. That's exactly what Trump did. I was like, I'm gonna come after them. I'm gonna go after these guys. But it's the perfect cover for the Biden crime family, as you're calling it, to basically say, oh, here's what we do.
- [75:15]
Vinny
You ready?
- [75:15]
Adam
Ready. He's saying he's going to come after us whether we did it or not. We know what happened. Political vengeance, political retribution. You know, James Brown had a song called the Big Payback. They're coming for us. So what we're going to do is preemptively. You talked about preemptive analytics and everything with minority port. Preemptively, we're going to say, well, since Donald Trump is talking about retribution inventions, let me go ahead and pardon my family members, you know, so we don't get in trouble from Donald Trump. So it actually is the perfect cover for them.
- [75:50]
Vinny
But, but me personally, I'm not a fan of the preemptive pardon time. I think the only time other times was Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon for Watergate scandal and then George H.W. bush pardoned related to the Iran Contra affair. That I, I am anti pre. I think you have to be set in front of court. You have to have your danger. If you are either charged and then. Or convicted. And you have to point. You're making, I think so bad because I, I'm for anybody for Trump or anybody. I'm not a fan of it. But, you know, and I missed 1.2 PD it was General Milley. That's. That's one of the main ones that's a real problem because for the audience that knows in 2020, I believe, Rob, October 2020, he called General Lee from China and said that we have no plans to attack. This is undermining our entire system. He called and told them, if we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time. You're letting our technically our enemy know our freaking plan. That's why he had to let this guy.
- [76:52]
Patrick Bet-David
Well, look, the reality of it is I love the fact that all of this stuff happened open hand.
- [76:58]
Vinny
Good.
- [76:58]
Patrick Bet-David
So anybody that's on the left that wants to say anything, you lost the argument because of what Biden did. Very simple. You lost the argument because of what he did. This has never happened ever before. You just witnessed what your guy that you were all impressed about do what he did here. By the way, for those of you guys that are watching the podcast, we saw so many people, I don't know how many people the last four days stopped us. If I have to say a number, would you say a thousand? Would you say, I don't know what the number is. The last four or five.

It was insane. The conversations. People from all over the world that are here for the special event. And you know what was amazing? Everybody's saying America's back. Common sense is back. The. The pride of when Future looks Bright. I can't tell you how many people using a phrase future looks bright today. So many people that's becoming. You're gonna see this thing get bigger and bigger and bigger because the optimism. So here's what we're doing. Specifically January 21st. It's only going to happen one time. We have the new Future looks bright with the American flag on it. Okay, Rob, I don't know if you have that or not. The future looks bright mug right there. This is American flag with the valuetainment logo on their future looks bright. And it's 20 bucks. And the other stickers that we had 45 47. Here's what we're doing just today. First 50 people that place an order over $50, we're going to put in that mug and we're going to put in the stickers for you. Those stickers are, you know, limited edition stickers because it's only going to happen one time. It's gone right now. Place an order, get the hat. So much gear right now that this sweater I'm wearing right now, I dare you to buy this sweater. Not like it. If you don't like it, I'll send you twice the amount of merch.

I don't know where this is, but go get some of the gear. Future looks bright. I'm so happy. The next four years, we're at Equinox, one after another, after. Oh, my God. Future looks bright. Future looks bright. Future looks bright. Future looks bright. Everybody is using this phrase, but watch what's going to happen the next four years with that phrase. You're going to see millions of people will be wearing this gear and everybody's going to say, me too. I feel the same exact way. Optimism's going high. If you feel that way, go to vtmerch.com Place your order. The first 50 people that place an order over 50 bucks will get the stickers and a US flag. Future looks bright. Future muck. Okay, let's go to the next story here. So while all the stuff is going on, on Martin Luther King Day, this is what the President says. He says Trump vows to release jfk, RFK and MLK assassination files in massive transparency. Push. Rob, is this the clip? Go to play this clip, please.
- [79:31]
Tom
And in the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And other topics of great public interest. It's all going to be released.
- [79:50]
Patrick Bet-David
Uncle Sam, by the way, you know what it takes to do that? It's a technical term that they use. And I want to get this right. Correct me, guys, because my English is not there. If that's. If I'm not saying it's like, I think it's like a doctor medical term. It's called brass balls.
- [80:04]
Adam
Yeah.
- [80:05]
Patrick Bet-David
Is what it takes to do that. Because you know who is not going to be happy about releasing that one organization? And what is that one Organization. There you go. He says that, but now he's not saying this as a election, hey, vote for me because I'm going to release it. He's won. So him saying it. He's not saying that you try to make you happy because he wants your vote or anything. He's already won. That only happens pre November 5th. Tom, what happens if he releases 100% of this? What is this going to do to the marketplace? That's confused the hell out of who shot mlk, who shot Bobby, who shot John F. Kennedy? How explosive will this be?
- [80:45]
Rob
It's going to be very explosive. But the question is, what is still in the archive? What is still there that can be released? Because the CIA has had a lot of time to scrub it and a lot of time to do it. And I'll give you one example. There is an incontrovertible fact that everyone agrees on that a piece of Kennedy's skull that was forensically examined for bullet pathing. In other words, which direction did a bullet come from? It's like when a plane crashes. They take all the pieces and they put it back together. It's gruesome, it's terrible. But that's kind of what you have to do in an autopsy, especially an assassination investigation. Looking at the body. What is the body telling you about what happened? Just like a plane crash where the planes, in a million pieces, they put it back together, they get the black box. That piece of that skull went missing within three years. Within three years, people went back to after the Warren Commission, they said, we want to look at a couple more things here. Investigative Committee said, yes, we can do that. They went in there, it's gone. So the question is, what will still be in the archive that will be releasable? What documents are still in the archive? Redacted documents that have been copies of copies of copies of copies. Is the original unredacted versions in there? Are you going to be looking at redacted copies? There's commentary that there are witness interviews in there, that there's no originals, that there. And people that have done investigation have said that there's redacted copies. We don't have the original. So the question is, what's going to be in there? However, it will be explosive as the American people come to realize, in my opinion and the opinion of many, many, many, many, many, many, many people, that the Kennedy assassination was an absolute inside job. Oswald didn't act alone, and it was Johnson and the CIA. That is my opinion. That's what I read there's so many people that will be explosive. Equally explosive is the letters that were written to Martin Luther King by the CIA. And there have been two of those, I believe, that have been out. One in which they were encouraging him to commit suicide. They said, there's so much stuff that we're going to release on you and Ralph Abernethy, and you should do it. King. There's only one way out, King. Take yourself. King. That was written by our CIA. It says, unfortunately, through our FBI, they were. And I think these things will be explosive. But I think we get over it and move forward and say, okay, we did it to ourselves. This is horrifying. Now, how do we keep it from happening again? That's what I think. But I want to know what is still in the archive, because these people are very good at redirecting and protecting themselves.
- [83:27]
Patrick Bet-David
Vinny.
- [83:28]
Vinny
I mean, I hope, Tom. Because we've heard this. The last time he was in. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. But then he changed his mind. The real thing is what happens to these institutions? What happens to the CIA? What happens to the FBI when we find out definitively? Because we all have our opinions. Me and Rob talk about this all the time. I know me and you are pretty much on the same page. I know Pat floats around there. Adam, I don't know. I don't think you're as far in as we are. But, I mean, trust for the government is the lowest it's ever been in the history of the country, okay? So if that's a fact, and we find out, in fact, the CIA, maybe the FBI, the mob, whoever, they all had a hand in murdering a sitting president, okay? Murdering our president. Then you have to question everything. Then all of a sudden, you're like, wait a minute. Nine, eleven. Who's to say you lose all faith in every single thing that your organization has touched. That means either you have to get rid of this organization or there has to be a. Some type of civilian. Over. I don't know what has to happen, Tom, because it's over. If the CIA was involved and we have documentation, it's over. It's done. It's treason, okay, at the highest level, and nobody's gonna get held accountable. But they're all dead. Everybody's dead. But then everything else that was involved, that adds questions. I want to get to the bottom.
- [84:47]
Patrick Bet-David
I love it. I love. By the way, do you know what happens if they release this information? Adam, I'm gonna. I want you to give your Comment and I'll give you my thoughts. I'm gonna tell you what I think is gonna happen if they actually, if Trump actually releases this information, I'm going to give you a data that you're going to be shocked. What I think will happen. Okay, My prediction.
- [85:05]
Vinny
Okay.
- [85:05]
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, go ahead, Adam.
- [85:06]
Adam
Well, look, in descending order, everyone wants to know what happened to jfk was the Warren Commission that I think happened with that Harvey Oswald? That's the thing, you know, there's a guy out there, you might have heard of him, pbd. He wrote this book, I believe it was called choose your enemies wisely. Right.
- [85:24]
Patrick Bet-David
I argue with him all the time. He's a good guy.
- [85:26]
Adam
I argue with him all the time. Especially his two buddies over there too, but great guy. Is this really the enemy you want to choose on day one? You want to go after the CIA? Is that really what you want to do? I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying that's the thing you want to do. So there's going to be a lot of people, the public, who be like, hell, yeah, I want to know what the hell happened at jfk. I want to understand what happened to Bobby Kennedy. Certainly his son, rfk, we've spent a ton of time with. I'd like to know what happened to mlk. I mean, in descending order that way, Lee Harvey Oswald was at the one shooter, grassy knoll. What's going on? Warren Commission, who made that call? What was going on? CIA, Cuba, Castro, what was happening in there? Everyone wants to know. The second thing, Sirhan Sirhan, I believe, was the guy that allegedly killed Bobby Kennedy. Correct me if I'm wrong, he went to jail. I think he just got released 60 years later, whatever the number is, I think Bobby Kennedy went and spoke with them and after speaking with them, said, yeah, I don't think this is the guy. Am I wrong?
- [86:39]
Vinny
No, you're right.
- [86:40]
Adam
Okay. And then the Coup de Grace. MLK. I think this all happened. What? Kennedy was 63, MLK. Bobby was 68, summer of 68. The guy that killed the MLK was a guy called James Earl Ray. They ran, they called him, they called him in Africa, Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. And you know what's interesting? After years in jail, he basically come out and said, guys, it wasn't me. The shaggy defense. We'll see what happens here. So he's denying that if Trump does this, he's going to have a lot of credibility and a lot of enemies. So we'll see what happens here. By the way, the new CIA CIA director, I believe, is John Radcliffe.
- [87:21]
Vinny
Amazing.
- [87:22]
Adam
So he's coming in?
- [87:23]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [87:23]
Adam
I think he was part of the national intelligence security, and the guy on his way out was Bill Burns.
- [87:28]
Patrick Bet-David
So here's what I see what happens. Here's. Here's what I think is going to happen. Okay. Number one, when you're saying, is this the right enemy to choose? Yes. Yes. Because let me tell you where Trump is at right now. You know where Trump's at. He's at the point of no return. Yes. What does that mean? They've already tried to kill him multiple times. So. So he's already crossed that path. And I don't know if you know what I'm saying when I'm saying he's crossed that path. Of course he's in his mind. Again, this is my opinion. My opinion. When you flirt with death and, you know, everybody handles the. The close call with death in a different way. And again, this is broken down, I think, in the book David and Goliath. Some people get so scared where they play defense their entire lives. Some people are shock mode. They're like, oh, my God, what just happened? But they move on with their lives. But a few people believe the reason why you made it is because God's got a bigger plan for you. Like, it's a calling. I'm called to do something great. Trump is in that mode. So what does that mean? He's willing to go after everybody because he thinks God's got his back. Did you hear in his inauguration when he said, here's how it works, God. Let me say it again. God above all. And he said it the second time, and it says, a guy told him, he says, well, you know, Mr. President, you know, the most beautiful words in a dictionary are God, religion, and love? He says, yeah, God, yes, number one. And religion is probably number two. And you know what? We have to love each other. I get number three. But the fourth best word in the dictionary is terror. Right. He's saying, what do you think about tariffs? Right. But I'll tell you this, him going here, you know what it's going to do to trust in the US Government? Skyrocket dropping. What the US Government did in the past before to hide it from us is going to take this chart. And if you look at this chart closely, folks, it's going to skyrocket the trust in the US Government. Exposing the CIA is actually going to increase the trust in the US Government. How weird. Is that I'm exposing the government. And you trust the government more now? Yes, because when we say government, what do you think about when I'm having this conversation with my kids, when they say government, what do you think about actually? When the government is fraud, what do you think about what is your mind go to? When they say the government, the government lies. The government lies. The government lies.
- [89:45]
Vinny
Washington, White House. Okay, think about it.
- [89:47]
Patrick Bet-David
But that's not true, though. So what, Tom, what do you think about when people say, I don't trust the government? Who is the government? When people say I don't trust the government, is it what government?
- [90:00]
Vinny
I think it's.
- [90:01]
Rob
I think, yeah. I think when people say I don't trust the government, it's like I don't trust what I'm being told. Well, what are you being told? Who is telling you?
- [90:09]
Patrick Bet-David
That's the one right there.
- [90:10]
Rob
It's our intelligence community. It's our defense community.
- [90:12]
Patrick Bet-David
Right.
- [90:13]
Rob
When you have Norman Schwarzkopf stands up there and says, here's the pictures of all the blown up stuff. I could have gone all the way to Baghdad, but we didn't. America looks at that satellite photos, Reuters out there and says, I guess our government's telling the truth. We could have killed Saddam Hussein. The is where you get the spin. You get the half truth.
- [90:32]
Patrick Bet-David
You know what it is?
- [90:33]
Rob
You don't get the answer. And then people don't trust that.
- [90:35]
Patrick Bet-David
So when people say, I don't trust the government, we have to isolate and qualify what that means.
- [90:41]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [90:41]
Patrick Bet-David
When you say, I don't trust the government, the government. Replace it with I don't trust the government when it was being ran under XYZ leadership. That's what that means.
- [90:52]
Vinny
Yes.
- [90:52]
Patrick Bet-David
So a person saying, I don't trust the government in 1964. Okay, I get it. Or 1962, 63, I get it. I don't trust the government. Under this, the government replaces with the leadership team of the president that was running it. If the president actually follows through and drops, what happened with mlk, Robert F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy assassination with the CIA, you're going to see that chart skyrocket. When they run the poll of how much the American people trust the government, they're going to say, I trust the government, but replace the government. I trust Trump's administration, not the US Government as a blanket immunity statement. I trust the government, period. Under this administration, I think Trump has a shot on getting this thing to be a hockey stick to the roof, saying, holy shit. Whether you like him or not. Guess what? He's telling us what's going on, which is quite exciting. I'm going to go to the next story here.
- [91:48]
Adam
I got to give you one little piece of information. I know you want to move on, but this is very important.
- [91:51]
Patrick Bet-David
Be quick, go for it.
- [91:53]
Adam
Do you know when the the term conspiracy theorist it became right after the Warren Commission.
- [92:00]
Patrick Bet-David
Right.
- [92:01]
Adam
That's. Everyone's labeled that these days. And now it traces back to that. By the way, what did Chuck Schumer say to. To Donald Trump?
- [92:09]
Patrick Bet-David
Yes. 7.
- [92:10]
Adam
When you go after the intelligence community, they got six ways to Sunday to get after you.
- [92:14]
Patrick Bet-David
Right.
- [92:15]
Adam
So we're going to see what happens.
- [92:16]
Patrick Bet-David
So let me go to this has radical transparency. So watch this here. Trump to suspend security clearances of 51 former CIA contractors who false implied Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian fake. This is another one. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this. I'm just reading this story because I think it's important for the audience to hear this. And then we'll go to the next story here. President elect Donald Trump plans president now. But President Donald Trump revoked the security clearance of the 51 intelligence officials who claim Hunter Biden's laptop had the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation. Before the 2020 election, a senior administration told that Fox News that this action will partner part of 200 executive orders. Spies who lie. Spies who lie. Gotta. This is another reason why the people didn't trust the U. S. Government. Let me get to the next story here. And that's Vivek and Doge. So there are different stories. First, rumors started circulating that Vivek will be stepping down from Doge Department of Governmental Efficiency, if I'm not mistaken. And they're like, yeah, no, I don't think that's happening. Well, then it's like, well, he's stepping on because he's running for governor. Oh, okay. So he's stepping down because he's a governor. He's running for governor. Then when you hear Vivek talk about it and Vivek talk about it on Fox Story says where Vivek even quotes it. I think there's a tweet where he says it was my honor to help support the creation of Doge. I'm confident that Elon and team will succeed in streamlining government. I'll have more to say very soon about my future plans in Ohio. Most importantly, we're all in to help President Trump make America great again. So that is a quote from him. I Think a day ago or a couple days ago. Right. And then while I'm on Will Cain's show, he asked me a question about, you know, Trump wants Vivek to consider running for Senate. I think somebody wanted him to consider running for Senate. I said, I don't think he's a Senate guy. I think he's more an executive guy. He needs to be governor over being Senate. And now conversations are coming up about him running for governor. Tom, your thoughts? Do you think this is because of him running for governor, that this is stepping down? Do you think there's conflicts between him and Musk? Do you think it just didn't work out because Trump also two days ago said that Vivek is still going to be a Doge. But there's a, there's a few different stories here coming out from different people, Tom.
- [94:28]
Rob
So I see two angles here. First of all, could Vivek been involved with Doge and at the same time be looking at a vulnerable seat to run as a GOP candidate? Yes, he could, absolutely could. How much does. Is Doge an appointed position, like an ambassador? Ambassadors sometimes keep their businesses running, keep things going on the side, and they're also an ambassador. So, you know, could he have been working on Doge and be governor? I think he probably could have. That's one side of it. That's the rational explanation. The other side I look at it is, you know, he's really an Alpha, and Elon Musk is an Alpha and Ramaswany, you see the way he opened up the debate, how direct he was. He's a guy that doesn't mince words and is unafraid to turn it up to 11 and come after you. And the rumors we hear, well, may have worn out his welcome. Well, maybe they kind of banged heads a little bit. Maybe he. So I hear all that and I go, you know what? That kind of makes sense to me. And the fact that the governor's seats open and let's face it, they need somebody pat in these seats. And right now Trump and others are picking draft picks to run for key seats. And so they go, you know, you're in Ohio, you're right there, so why don't you go and do it? So I think there's a little bit of truth on both that probably, you know, another Alpha guy, maybe two Alphas together, didn't quite get it. And hey, we also need a draft pick, so why don't we make this easy transition? And I don't know. I had not read it, but you mentioned something as we were about to go on that you had seen something where Vivek said something.
- [96:16]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, no, the conversations. When you hear what's going on on Twitter and some people behind closed doors is, you know, the fact that after his comments on H1B visa, you know, that got. I think it was 150. It's his most viewed tweet of all time.
- [96:32]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [96:32]
Patrick Bet-David
150 million views of people's tweet. Right.
- [96:35]
Rob
The wrong way to say it.
- [96:36]
Patrick Bet-David
What he did, what he said, it really pissed a lot of people off. And that was kind of the moment of, what do we do with them? Do we kind of step away? That's what some people are saying now. He's going to clarify and probably say it had nothing to do with that, but it is what it is.
- [96:49]
Vinny
I was just gonna say that. And just to remind people, what he said was that American culture has started valuing mediocrity instead of excellence. Now, I don't know about you guys. Americans don't like hearing that crap, okay? So I think that, that, that, that to me, played a big part. I do like the alpha versus alpha as well, Tom, because if you think about it, Elon is good. He could probably do this by himself, with a team. They'll probably put somebody else in there to run it. I mean, the idea is pretty, Pretty obvious, you know, I mean, Department of Government Efficiency just. We're going to be cutting a lot of corners. But, you know, it is kind of weird, though, Pat, did you guys even really see Vivek this entire week that we've been here?
- [97:26]
Adam
I haven't.
- [97:27]
Vinny
I saw him once, Rob. Maybe I saw him walking at the inauguration. But it is kind of, you know, obvious that once you're out of that little limelight. I didn't hear him make a speech. We were at the Capital One. I saw everybody. We saw Cash Patel. We saw. Everybody spoke except. Oh, good song. Everybody spoke except Vivek. So I kind of feel like. And going to your point, Tom, there's a. If there's a governorship or a Senate seat, that's. To me, that's more important than just an agency, Adam, that they're starting from scratch.
- [97:58]
Adam
Look, I mean, we saw Vivek. We also saw the fake Vivek who was hanging out with us that one day, our buddy. But look, you said maybe six months ago, maybe a year ago, that the number one draft pick in the gop, in your opinion, was Vivek. And I agree. I just don't think that's the case anymore. I think now that Trump is officially the President, J.D. vance is the guy. He's gonna be next in line. I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but come 20, 28, you know, if you're Vivek, you could pretty much do kind of whatever you want to do at this point. By the way, how many people genuinely knew Vivek Ramaswamy's name one year ago?
- [98:37]
Vinny
Not that many.
- [98:38]
Adam
Not many. And then boom. Has anybody catapulted to the forefront of American culture, American politics, American business, more than Vivek Ramaswamy in the last year? I would say no. We all know Trump. We all knew of J.D. vance a little bit. He was a senator. We've all known some of these people. We knew Elon, certainly, but Vivek. So now you're talking about, should he become a senator? Nah, beneath me. All right, well, that's pretty interesting.
- [99:04]
Rob
Spending his money on a real campaign.
- [99:06]
Adam
Yeah. Put his money where his mouth is. No doubt. I should I become a governor?
- [99:10]
Patrick Bet-David
I do think it's beneath them to be. Not beneath him. Yeah, I think he's the one. I think he's bigger.
- [99:14]
Adam
I agree.
- [99:14]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- [99:15]
Adam
Should I become a governor? Governor of one state. By the way, Doge, what do you think they're paying him to run Doge? If they were him and the two headed monster, Elon Musk, who knows nothing. I mean, I don't. Not much. It's not even a government actual position, so they sort of made it up. So by the way, if you asked me straight up two weeks ago, a month ago, who would actually be running Doge between Elon, the richest man in the world, who's running a dozen other companies, or Vivek, one of the smartest guys we've ever known. Certainly a billionaire, but not a half a trillionaire. I'd say probably Vivek, because he could probably dedicate more time. By the way, I think he has two kids where Elon has.
- [99:58]
Vinny
I think he's probably having one right now.
- [100:00]
Adam
So I would say Vivek, but I don't know. Something's going on there. But don't forget, and Pat, you would know this maybe more than anybody. It's not like Vivek has long lasting relationships with anybody. Nobody knew Vivek a year ago. Straight up, everyone knew Elon. So I don't know if they're jockeying for position, jockeying for power, if they can't coexist. I don't know if Trump has any loyalty to Vivek I don't know, doesn't really know him. They certainly chose J.D. vance over him. They're both from Ohio. I think they went to law school right around the same time. But what I know about Vivek, he is so smart, he is so talented. Whatever he ends up doing, he's just fine.
- [100:39]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. So I think, you know, while I was at the Starlight, I spoke to a lot of different people who were approaching me and some of the guys that are heavyweight names that you all know who they are. Some are in the policy space, some are on tv. You see them and. Oh, yeah, what do you want? Let me tell you. If you bake this and let me tell you, baked out, let me tell you this, I'm like, listen, relax, okay? Whether you want to call this a fumble or stumble or whatever. What are these words that people say, Tom? Like when you're on your way, you're. You're stumbling, stumbling.
- [101:07]
Rob
You make a gap, whatever.
- [101:08]
Patrick Bet-David
I mean, you say the standards for me on winning at the highest level is not perfection. Okay? You're going to get through moments where you're going to stumble and, you know, I talked to the kids about this. You're going to have your moments. By the way, the freaking guy from Baltimore Ravens.
- [101:27]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [101:28]
Patrick Bet-David
They come back, they scored a touchdown, throws the ball perfectly to the tight end in a corner. Like it couldn't be easier.
- [101:38]
Adam
Andrews.
- [101:39]
Patrick Bet-David
Andrews to catch the ball. We can't play this clip because of. ESPN doesn't Drops the ball to go to. I mean, do you realize, like, how he feels, the quarterback, and he knows too many and he took full responsibility. They're gonna have a tough off season.
- [101:58]
Vinny
Oh, yeah.
- [101:59]
Patrick Bet-David
Everywhere they go. Hey. Hey. How you doing, man? Stop asking me how I'm doing.
- [102:03]
Vinny
Yes.
- [102:03]
Patrick Bet-David
Hey, man, I'm so sorry. Shut up. Right? I don't want to hear it. So it's part of life when you're on the. On the. What do you call it? The big screen. Well, you know. Dude, relax, relax. Okay? There's two. Two ways. Sometimes both ideas can be both right and wrong. And, you know, sometimes intelligence has been able to entertain opposing ideas and kind of get it. There's a part that's like, it's getting late. Let's go. You're gonna turn 6, 60 years old in 16 years, okay? And that's true. But you know what the other side is? We got a long life to live.
- [102:39]
Vinny
Yep.
- [102:40]
Patrick Bet-David
Life is long and life is short. They're both right. Vivek is a star. Led into a superstar that pissed A lot of people off. And while you're coming up, you also have to sometimes realize the people that are in your ear telling you, you're amazing, you're amazing, you're amazing, you're amazing, you're amazing. You have to mute those people. It's not easy to do valedictorian, but I think he's going to recreate himself as these types of personalities always do. And he's going to come back and you're going to see him right now. If I'm a mind reader, and I'm not, and if I sat there in his mind, he's counted 12 years. You know what 12 years is? Do you know what 12 years is? It's the next time Vivek's going to have a shot of being a president.
- [103:26]
Vinny
Yeah. Because the next in line would probably be J.D.
- [103:28]
Patrick Bet-David
Vance. That's what it means. So he's calculating 52 years old.
- [103:31]
Vinny
Yep.
- [103:32]
Patrick Bet-David
And. And that is very annoying to somebody that's extremely ambitious. Very annoying. So that's what he's. That's what he's going through right now. And again, my opinion. I haven't spoken to him in. In a while, but that's my opinion on this. Now, Zuckerberg had a phenomenal moment. You know, he had a very special moment. You know, it's. It's great to say that your vision works. You know, some people are worried because they go to the doctor, they can't see anymore.
- [103:56]
Vinny
We're talking about.
- [103:57]
Patrick Bet-David
They read like this.
- [103:58]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [103:58]
Patrick Bet-David
What the world realizes is that Zuck has great eyes. Okay. And it still works. He doesn't need glasses, even though Facebook just came out with new glasses. Without the Facebook glasses, he was able to spot something that, you know, it just. Whether it's because of different reasons. You said something, which I don't want to take it away from you.
- [104:19]
Vinny
I don't.
- [104:20]
Patrick Bet-David
You'll say it here in a minute. It could be a commercial for that. But here's what everybody's talking about in the inauguration, in the rotunda. Go ahead, Vinny. Rob, play this wonderful clip of knowing that Zuck's eyes work. Play it again.
- [104:41]
Vinny
Look at this and look at Zuck. Gotcha.
- [104:44]
Patrick Bet-David
All right.
- [104:44]
Vinny
Got to do it.
- [104:45]
Patrick Bet-David
Can you play the clip of when she turned around the pro Kennedy and others, how they were looking up? It reminded me of a scene from a movie, which. I'll tell you guys, I don't know if you have the clip I texted you, Rob. It's a clip about Kennedy and them are sitting there watching before it happens. I'm going to give you a thumbs up to go to that one. And so she's turning around and. And this tweet is so funny. It says, rfk did a lot better job than Zuck when looking at Jeff Bezos's girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, who wore a bra openly to the inauguration. If you have this, this is called wisdom. This is called life experience. Zuckerberg needs to call Kennedy and have a conversation with them. Rob, if you can, play this clip for the audience and folks, watch this. This is called experience and being a professional. Go ahead.
- [105:37]
Vinny
Okay, Lauren Sanchez turns around.
- [105:40]
Patrick Bet-David
Watch this.
- [105:40]
Adam
What?
- [105:41]
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, jfk. Turn off the audio. Look, look, look. Just turn off the audio and please look. He's not looking. He's not looking. Don't look at the guy to the right of Kennedy. He's just like, honey, I didn't look. Babe, I wasn't looking. Am I free? Boom. Okay, all right. We're safe. But Zuck fell for it and got billions on top of billions of views. And anyways, even my wife saw this. My wife's like, come on, guys, you gotta leave him alone. He didn't do anything wrong. A guy would have been looking at this. But anyways, girls, looking this from a different perspective than we do. Vinnie, your thoughts on this?
- [106:20]
Vinny
Okay, well, first of all, there's a couple things me and Rob have conversations where we're like, dude, Mark Zuckerberg's an alien. The way that he drinks his water when he was in Congress. If you guys want to look at that on your own, this proves that he's a human. He's a man. All right? If he's taking trt, I don't know. Listen, the guy's doing push ups. He's beating the out of people. And I don't know if he is because he. It looks like he broke his nose. He's wearing gel that testosterone, that manhood. Yeah, I think is coming out. And I respect it. Number one. Number two, Lauren. What's her name? Sanchez. This is the presidential inauguration. You know, every camera is going to be on you. You got. You're in the spotlight. You wear that. That's a lingerie.
- [107:05]
Patrick Bet-David
That. I understand what you're saying. Is it a good publicity stunt? Because the world is talking about her. If.
- [107:12]
Vinny
If you're her. Yes. If you're Bezos, he, you. You're a husband. You're a. You're the man of the house. Patrick, if you're.
- [107:21]
Patrick Bet-David
If him.
- [107:23]
Adam
If.
- [107:23]
Vinny
No, because that's it.
- [107:25]
Patrick Bet-David
When.
- [107:25]
Adam
If.
- [107:26]
Vinny
I know it would never Happen in a million years. If Jen was out, you would go, babe, you're good. And let her leave the house. This, by the way, we're not going to route.
- [107:40]
Patrick Bet-David
And she would like it come out.
- [107:41]
Vinny
Dylan would even go nuts. But it's.
- [107:43]
Patrick Bet-David
No, no, Dylan would get. Dylan would go, yeah. Dylan would be like, mom, you can't wear that.
- [107:48]
Vinny
No, of course.
- [107:48]
Patrick Bet-David
You're right. By the way. 1000 may be above any one of us.
- [107:52]
Vinny
100.
- [107:53]
Patrick Bet-David
You can't wear that.
- [107:54]
Vinny
So.
- [107:54]
Patrick Bet-David
So.
- [107:54]
Vinny
So that's my point is when they left, he looked at that, and Jeff Bezos goes, we're good. You're good. She's wearing a lingerie piece that looks like they got a Victoria's Secret. But going back to him, I think Zuckerberg, congratulations, bro. To me, you're not an alien anymore.
- [108:11]
Patrick Bet-David
I'll come too much because this is your special look.
- [108:15]
Adam
So let's just establish facts here. This is Jeff Bezos, soon to be wife, fiance. Now. Yeah, by the way, do we remember the name? One of the men in the world is. Her name is Mackenzie Bezos. Yeah, she. When they had a divorce settlement, she walked away with, I want to say, $40 billion. $40 billion. She became instantly, I think, the richest woman in the world, if not in the top five. So then you have. Jeff Bezos goes, hold on. I just gave my wife $40 billion. What do I want to do next? Do I need someone to help me build a company? Do I need someone that has my back, that looks? Or do I need someone that just basically do what I say, help me out here any way I want? And you, this is exactly as one of the four of us on this table right here. I won't say names. Spent 10 minutes in the Uber yesterday talking about her assets. And the female Uber driver literally is like, no, I got it, guy. He's like, they're like Pluto and Neptune put together rocket ship. They're like, no, yeah, no, we got it. It wasn't me and it wasn't you and. And BBD wasn't in the car with us. You can do the math. The Uber driver is getting so offended. She's like, sir, like, I know what you mean. Like, I know what you're talking about. We're like, hey, buddy. Like, she got it. He's like, oh, my God, the things. We're like, no, we get it, buddy. Simple. Point is, Jeff Bezos knew exactly what he was signing up for. He bought her a million dollar engagement ring. You know, rock your little pup, house, everything you need And I'll shut up before the 5.
- [109:55]
Patrick Bet-David
Let's go to you. Go ahead. What's your analysis here?
- [109:58]
Rob
I think the juvenile subtext has no limit, I think is what we got here. So she was not at a red carpet. She was not at an art premiere. She was not at a premiere of a movie. All of those would be areas where they wear fashion, and the fashions have, what do they call it, daring elements to them. However, you're at a state function, which is different. And I don't know why Jeff Bezos wouldn't say something. I assume he would. I don't know why she doesn't have, like, most of these people have wardrobe consultants because, you know, Oscar de la Rena says, hey, Oscar de la Rena would like you to wear this. When they find out that a famous person is going to be on the red carpet or doing something, they usually want you to be wearing their stuff. So I don't know what happened here. A lot of people, when they go to something like this, that's what they have. And Lauren Bezos didn't have that. And she projects herself very, very openly. Openly, daringly and intentionally. She intentionally presents herself in this way. And that's not unusual. We've seen her around the world at all kinds of places, all kinds of things. And you can see, you know, Pat, you've seen it. You can see when someone's posing and when someone's. The paparazzi just took a picture of you or you're walking down the street someplace. Right? You're walking down the street with your girlfriend or your husband and you're going in a restaurant and they're taking pictures versus when everybody knows pictures are being taken of them. Everybody knows what's going on. Right. And so that's it. And I, I think. I think there could have been a little bit more.
- [111:47]
Adam
Yeah, A little bit more. Mackenzie Bezos and. Or Lauren Sanchez just got a Facebook request. Facebook friend request.
- [111:52]
Vinny
But, yeah, who knows what. But if you think about who knows what kind of late night they had and they just had to rush out and she's like, I'll just put on a jacket. We know. Listen, maybe Jeff is wild.
- [112:03]
Adam
You were the attention economy, the eyeball economy. We're talking about Lauren Sanchez and her.
- [112:09]
Vinny
She knows what she has to call. She knows what she was doing.
- [112:12]
Rob
And I think she's. I mean, let's face it. Do you think she's out there and wants the attention? Wants the coverage, by the way, not actual coverage.
- [112:21]
Adam
Look, no, no.
- [112:22]
Rob
I mean, the media Coverage. I don't think she. I don't think she really doesn't like that.
- [112:26]
Patrick Bet-David
No, I think it's intentional, and I think Bezos loved it. And I think Bezos want the world to say, that's my girl, okay? And everybody's looking at my girl. Because he's at a different phase of his Life. He's worth $200 billion, okay? And he's playing a very, very different game. And he looks great himself. The other day, while he's sitting there watching his rockets, not watching his rocket. Folks, this is not an analogy or metaphor. He's literally standing there like this.
- [112:49]
Adam
Yep.
- [112:50]
Patrick Bet-David
In jeans.
- [112:52]
Adam
It was like 12 inches of snow. I want to say.
- [112:54]
Patrick Bet-David
No, that's Kentucky.
- [112:56]
Vinny
Different story.
- [112:57]
Patrick Bet-David
All right, so let's go. Let's go over here to see what other stories we want to get to here before we wrap up.
- [113:02]
Vinny
Oh, God.
- [113:03]
Patrick Bet-David
You know, one of the stories I do want to say that. Well, we'll get to that here in a minute. But one of the stories I do want to talk about is Djokovic, which I love what he did. But let's talk about the ball. Who performed? Nelly performed at the 1. You guys were at the Liberty Ball. And the Liberty Ball. And by the way, we love Nelly. We had Nelly on a year and a half ago, and I'll never forget what Nelly said. We opened up our annual convention at the MGM with Nelly.
- [113:26]
Vinny
9:00Am Nelly gets a call.
- [113:28]
Patrick Bet-David
He says, hey, man, these guys want you to perform at 9:00. Shit, that's early. I never perform at 9:00. You sure it's 9:00? He says, yes. He says, they just want me to perform at 9:00pm I'm normally 11:00. He says, no, no, no. 9:00am he gets up. He says, never in my life have I given a concert to 10,000 people at 9am with people on fire. He couldn't believe it. Anyways, he explains himself because a lot of people went out there talking. Rob, I don't know if you have that clip or not. And then Snoop also. There's a clip that resurfaced from him in 2017. You know, making fun of a. You know, the language with the accent of, hey, if you say this, if you say that. But they perform. I think DJ Khaled was there. Snoop was there, gave a great performance. Nelly was there lighting it up last night. But here's Snoop from 2017 to now. For those that are performing at Trump's event. Go ahead, Rob. So ain't nobody gonna perform For Donald Trump, huh?
- [114:21]
Snoop Dogg
Which one of you jigaboo ass gonna be the first one to do it? I'm waiting. I'm going to roast the out one of you Uncle Tom ass for doing it. Which one of you going to do it first?
- [114:33]
Vinny
Oh, the one that's performs for him, sir. I wonder who that is. Wait, is that, is that the, is that the same guy?
- [114:47]
Patrick Bet-David
That's hilarious. So the Rob, then go to Nelly who's getting criticized about him performing.
- [114:51]
Vinny
That's called a hippocrate. You know what I'm saying? Hypocrite, homie.
- [114:54]
Patrick Bet-David
And by the way, Nelly, sometimes you forget how many great hits he's got. Oh, seriously, sometimes we forget. But here's Nelly. When people criticize him for performing and look what he says about the one and a half billion dollars. Go ahead, Rob.
- [115:06]
Snoop Dogg
I thought you was riding with me because I put on for my city and I try to bring my city up every step of the way. I did not know you was riding with me because you thought I would ride for who you voted for.
- [115:17]
Rob
For.
- [115:17]
Snoop Dogg
I didn't know that. I, I apologize. I, I, I apologize. I didn't know that I had to agree with your political choices and I thought it was the things that you do, not the things that you say should be done. If you follow what I do, this shouldn't even be an argument. He's the president. He, he won. This isn't a campaign. This isn't the rnc. I'm not out on the political campaign. I didn't get none of that. 1.5. You see what I'm saying? To try to help somebody get voted and invite you to. No, no, no, no.
- [115:58]
Vinny
She didn't invite me.
- [116:03]
Snoop Dogg
Like so, But I don't, I don't knock the ones that did. I don't knock the, the brothers and sisters that benefited from it. I don't knock the correspondence that may.
- [116:13]
Patrick Bet-David
Kind of love, by the way. I love the way he's reasoning. You can pause it, Rob. I love the way he's explaining himself and saying, hey, I'm not judging you. Do what you want to do. But this is the reason why I'm doing this. So you know, you, you were stuck around late enough for him to perform. How was it when he performed? How was his energy when he was on the stage? What was it like?
- [116:31]
Adam
Listen, Nelly is a performer. He's a performer and he's one of those guys, I don't care if you're 18 years old or you're 80 years old. Hot in so hot in here. Everybody knows how that goes in. So he crushed it. He had a great performance. I think 90% of the crowd left when the Village People hit the stage, and there was, like, literally 500 people left out of 8,000. So front row seats. Nelly was doing his thing. I was actually with Amber Rose during when Trump was dancing, and we were having this conversation. Sweet girl. Basically what she said is like, think we're so done with the identity politics. So done with the, oh, you're black, so you have to vote this way. Oh, you're Asian. You have to vote this way. You're Latino. You have to vote this. You're a man, you have to. You're a woman, you have to. No, no, no, no, no. Vote your conscious. Vote what you think is right. Vote your pocketbook. Nelly's a stud. I want to say that his father served in the military, so salute to you. But I'm gonna come at Snoop for a second. Snoop.
- [117:32]
Patrick Bet-David
So Snoop a loop.
- [117:33]
Adam
Snoop. Bring a green hat, homie. Okay. What is this? Snoop? You know Nelly has a song. Hey, must be the money.
- [117:44]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- [117:44]
Adam
Is there any other rapper, business person, professional, who has zero ideology? He's just out for the money. About a year ago, I remember on the podcast, Snoop came out, hey, y'all, I'm done smoking. I'm going smoke free.
- [118:01]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [118:01]
Adam
Oh, yeah. And we're all like, oh, my God. Well, did you think I said, hell, no. His entire brand is attached to smoking that good stuff. And then the next day, just kidding, guys, I'm selling smoke free grills. All right? So that way when you cook, you don't get this mother. You know, I got my mind and my money and my money and my mind. Snoop. Love you, brother. Ain't nothing but a G thing. Lottie, Dottie, I love you. That guy has bought and paid for. Listen, calling out black people, but then performing at Donald Trump's inauguration. Must be the money.
- [118:34]
Patrick Bet-David
Listen, you better watch who you're talking about. Running your mouth, like, you know. Okay. Telling you right now. Okay, you're gonna. But go ahead.
- [118:42]
Adam
Dr. Dre invented this gangster, and this is the mother.
- [118:45]
Vinny
And you made a great point. No, you made a great point. And listen, it's. We always talk about the market. The market. Now, it's cool to be pro Trump. It's cool to be in this thing, because they've been that psyop that you were talking about for nine years, and it's still happening. And mind you, I have people in my family. People my family that are married to People that. It's guys. Trump derangement syndrome. I'm being. I'm not being funny. It's actually real. There should be a study and there should be a practice time of actual psychiatrists to help these people. But you know what? Bull Money talks and walks. Okay, thank you, Adam. And if you saw. If you don't mind soldier boy. Who? Soldier boy. Look at the video that he posted. Rob. Rob, can you show that video? He goes, obama, never put money in my pockets. You mind if I play this? Look at this.
- [119:38]
Snoop Dogg
They paid me a bag. Obama, ain't no money in my pockets.
- [119:43]
Vinny
Look. All right.
- [119:45]
Snoop Dogg
Never put no money in my pocket.
- [119:49]
Vinny
A little bit.
- [119:51]
Snoop Dogg
They're trying to say something about me performing at the crypto ball party. Did Kamala call my phone? Did Obama call my phone?
- [120:01]
Adam
All right, how'd you, kid?
- [120:01]
Snoop Dogg
Yo, did any of you call my.
- [120:03]
Vinny
That's good, Rob. That's good. But he's being honest. Nobody called him. Nobody called him. And by the way. So wait, you mean to tell me this racist Trump pillar, they want. You know, they want people to perform that are of different race and of different color. It's a wake up call, bro, and I'm happy for it. Wake up call to everybody. You were duped for nine years, and now it's cool. It's cool to do the dance. It's cool to wear the red hat. Dude, me seeing red hats in Los Angeles. If you wore a red hat that didn't even say make America great again, Tom. If it didn't say maga, people were getting punched in the face. I saw it in Los Angeles.
- [120:37]
Patrick Bet-David
All your amateur feedback. Tom, for somebody like you following hip hop for decades, what's your analysis on this?
- [120:43]
Rob
So I think. I think that we're living in kind of an age of hypocrisy here. So Snoop lives in a world where everything he's done for the last 25 years has been written down by reporters, covered on camera phones as camera phones became everywhere, videotaped before everything he said. And he commits the unpardonable sin of changing his mind over time. And you got these guys that have girlfriends on day one, and three years later, she is Satan. When heels really, you change your mind, it's okay to do that, but it's not okay to change your mind about a political leader, because you know what? But the political parties want to tell us that they own our vote somehow, that they. That we are part of their group, and we're not allowed to cross lines. And that is the divisiveness of America that everybody wants. So it's not okay for Snoop. From 2017 to 2025, eight years, some people change their mind on. They work with the musician on a mashup, and they don't like how it went out. They were. They were buddies doing the mashup, and eight months later, they're at each other's throats, calling each other out and throwing posts out there on social media attacking one another. Eight months ago, you guys are doing a mashup. Had your arms around each other. My new boy, my new friend. This is what I'm doing. And then later, so Snoop's not allowed to change his mind. And these people are making points here saying, why are you criticizing me? I wasn't getting. You know, nobody called me from the other side, so I got a call here, and I did this. This is how I feel. So the fact that no one's allowed to change their mind, and then we all. Everybody comes on glued at each other.
- [122:41]
Patrick Bet-David
Adam looks like he's about to come.
- [122:42]
Rob
After, and they find. They find a clip from way back when. You know, to me, there's just. There's a lot of. You know, I think people need to step back and take a deep breath here.
- [122:54]
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, and now, better check yourself, yo.
- [122:56]
Vinny
Before you wreck yourself. I was like, yeah.
- [123:01]
Adam
Tom, you're mostly right, and I love that about you, because, yes, everyone is entitled a little bit of grace to change your mind. The problem that I have with Snoop, it's not that he changed his mind. It's not that he said, oh, you know, I've come around. It's he straight up was shaming and humiliating and debasing his own people.
- [123:20]
Vinny
Oh, yes, sir.
- [123:22]
Adam
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna do that. I can't believe. Dude, that's not changing your mind. That is completely talking down to people. So imagine if you're a black person, or imagine if you're any person who in 16 voted for Trump. Imagine if you're Brandon Tatum. Imagine if you're Candace Owens. You're like, oh, oh, really? Because I'm a free thinker. That's how I gotta act. Hell no, Snoop. Somehow I'm not playing that game. Check yourself before you record. So.
- [123:46]
Patrick Bet-David
Wow. Okay. Yeah. All right. We're gonna transition to the next story. And by the way, 2025 type of transition, which. Where there's only two genders, we're gonna transition. Yeah. So next. Next story I want to get into is Barron Trump. By the way, we walk into the arena at the Capital One arena. Okay? We're there. We're at one of the suites upstairs having a great time. Everyone's there, and all of a sudden, they're leaving the Capitol building and they're coming to the arena, and a family comes out first, and all the kids are sitting in the front row. You got Ivanka, you got Don, you got Eric, you got Laura, and then you got Baron. Rob, do you have the clip of when Barron walks out? Folks, when Barron walked out, it was as if Elvis Presley walked into the building.
- [124:36]
Vinny
No joke. No, no.
- [124:38]
Patrick Bet-David
It.
- [124:38]
Vinny
No joke.
- [124:39]
Patrick Bet-David
I mean, it's the only applause. I don't even know if I know it's gonna sound weird.
- [124:46]
Vinny
I know what you're gonna say.
- [124:47]
Patrick Bet-David
I think. I think the applaud. He got matches what his father got.
- [124:52]
Vinny
I was gonna say a little bit more.
- [124:54]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. It was such a crazy. Can you play this clip? Can you play this clip of Baron when he walked into the Capitol One building?
- [125:02]
Tom
A tall son named Baron.
- [125:03]
Vinny
Has anyone ever heard of him? He grew 2 inches just staying there.
- [125:14]
Patrick Bet-David
Look at this swagger. Comfortable in his own skin. Give him. Give me more. He's enjoying this, bro. Look at that gangster. No, he's.
- [125:30]
Vinny
Baron is a stud. And.
- [125:31]
Patrick Bet-David
And. And you know what I liked about what Don did? Let me tell you what I liked about what Don did. That's what you know. Baron's got a good older brother, Don. So then the camera starts having a little bit fun with the kids. Then they go on Don. They're. They're. Ah. And then they go to. And so it's like, well, you know, let's see. And then Eric gets up. So they're having fun now, right? But then when they go on Don, and Donna's like.
- [125:53]
Vinny
He's listening for the applause.
- [125:54]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, he's listening to the applause. And he gave the smile. The smile of. He's so happy for his younger brother. You know what I'm saying?
- [126:02]
Vinny
Yes.
- [126:02]
Patrick Bet-David
You felt. No, you know, like, jealousy, animosity. It was such a great moment with the older brother, the oldest brother. I just loved seeing that moment that the older brother is celebrating his youngest brother's moment of getting the kind of love that he's getting. And it was just great to see. But listen, Baron is a superstar.
- [126:25]
Vinny
100.
- [126:26]
Patrick Bet-David
I don't know what's going to happen with this. Last night, we're at the Starlight party, and a bunch of his friends are coming up to me. Hey, man, I've known the family for years. We've been neighbors with them for. And this guy also, he's like six.
- [126:36]
Vinny
Six, yeah.
- [126:37]
Patrick Bet-David
Like, what is this? All of his friends are tall? Well, not all of his friends are tall, but this guy was definitely tall. And he comes up to me and then Bo comes up. We're talking all this stuff with where Baron's at. And he's got, he's got something. He's very. It's gonna be interesting. And I'll never forget what he said. I said, Barron has 60 minutes. Anybody approach you about doing something, you know, interview all this other stuff. He says, pat, I got to do something first. I have to do something my life first.
- [127:02]
Vinny
Wow.
- [127:03]
Patrick Bet-David
He says I have to go first win. He says, until I win and I have something to talk about, I probably won't be doing anything now. They're probably going to try to force him to do something. I don't know what's going to happen with an interview with. It happens in the next year. Two years, three years, four years, he graduates from school. But a lot of good signs of what he's going to do. He's also going to stumble. He's also going to have some girl attraction. All this other stuff.
- [127:27]
Adam
Stuff.
- [127:27]
Patrick Bet-David
But he's definitely a superstar.
- [127:30]
Vinny
Yeah, because the mic, the mics are cutting out.
- [127:32]
Patrick Bet-David
No, I'm good. I can hear you.
- [127:34]
Vinny
And, and, and what you're, what you're mentioning, Pat, was guys, because the, the, the public didn't see it. But before Trump came out, before everybody, you know, the J.D. vance and everybody showed up, the family got sat down first. The kids, you know, what's, what's her, what's.
- [127:51]
Rob
The second row was all the grandkids.
- [127:53]
Vinny
And Kai, and Kai was there. And guys, every, so the camera hit Lara Trump. Huge applause. Just the cameraman was playing games. Every single time it hit Baron, it was like people were standing and applauding, and he knows it. Like, he's coming into his own. He gets it. And the future of that family, if it's going to be politics or whatever, I mean, it already looks extremely bright. It looks really bright because there's something in his eyes. Like, you know, like, he's gonna carry that name, he's gonna carry it well, and you nailed it. He's gonna stumble, but, I mean, we all do.
- [128:26]
Patrick Bet-David
Tom.
- [128:27]
Rob
Well, I, I think, you know, there are good things about being the youngest son, and there are bad things about being the youngest son. The bad things about being the youngest or the youngest child, sometimes you feel left out. Sometimes you feel like, oh, wow, you know, I don't get to do this. I gotta stay home. Everybody else is out there. So sometimes you feel that way the other way. The other thing that is there is you learn from all of your older brothers and sisters. And I feel like Baron carries himself with a lot of class, a lot of dignity. We've had an opportunity to chat briefly at all of us, you know, at Mar a Lago. And he comes across as the most down to earth, but the most, you know, wise and informed because he lives in a tough environment. There is an environment out there that would love to see him trip on the sidewalk and say, oh, what a bad example of his for his dad. Oh, his dad. He knows that the world's out there waiting to do that. That's an evil press corps that just waits. But he just seems very straight up, very down to earth. Remember, he talked a little about a college. Where am I going to college? What am I doing? He talks about the adventures that he's just had as a guy growing up with a good buddy Bo. And I just got so much respect for that. And I feel like you're seeing here the younger son under the great mentorship of his older brothers and sisters, absorbing it and not trying to be like the rebellious little brother and just being just a great kid. Hats off to him.
- [130:04]
Adam
Look, I haven't spent any time with. With him at all, so I can't really tell you anything about Baron, but I've heard very good things. Here are a couple of facts. Loudest applause yesterday in the arena was Barron Trump. Louder than Trump himself, I think. Yes or no?
- [130:21]
Vinny
Yeah.
- [130:22]
Adam
His. He is the only one whose mother has been the first lady and is the first Lady. So don't forget, that is very special. He's the only Trump kid who actually lived in the White House. I think when he came to the White House, he was what, 10, 12 years old. Now he's 18, 19 years old. He's. I think it was the NYU, right? One of the more liberal universities ever exists in the history of the world.
- [130:46]
Patrick Bet-David
He may go to Georgetown.
- [130:47]
Adam
Okay, so he may switch now that they're in office.
- [130:49]
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
- [130:50]
Adam
So, you know, we spent a lot of time with his good buddy Bo Loud and actually hung up with both parents at the Charlie Kirk event, the Turning Point USA event. But here's my caveat. We've seen Bo, you know, they're going to pick on his height a little bit. Listen, I'd rather be 6, 8 than 4 8, I'll tell you that much. But I don't know if I've ever heard Baron speak. Have you? What does he stand for? I'm not saying you guys. I'm saying the audience. Has he ever spoke publicly? Does he speak well? Is he charming? Is he funny? Is he smart? I don't know. I generally am curious. So I'm awaiting the time when Baron gets on the stage and says, here's what I think. Here's what I stand for. So that time's coming.
- [131:32]
Patrick Bet-David
All right, let's. We got five minutes left. And I'm trying to see which stories do we want to go through? Do you want to go through aoc? Do we want to go through Musk? When he spoke on stage and made the gesture, do we want to go through China? Do we want to go through Musk? Do you want to go through Musk? Okay, let's go through Musk. So where is the story with Musk? Here, Rob, what page is it on? Is it in the addendum?
- [131:52]
Rob
Nope, that's the first page. Page three of the original prep Trump.
- [131:57]
Patrick Bet-David
And Elon Musk offers mag rally Nazi, like stat. CNN calls it odd looking. Do you want to play this?
- [132:02]
Vinny
Clip you for making it happen. Thank you.
- [132:13]
Patrick Bet-David
My heart goes out to you.
- [132:16]
Rob
It is thanks to you that the.
- [132:19]
Patrick Bet-David
Future of civilization is assured. Thanks to you, Tom.
- [132:28]
Adam
That's not it.
- [132:29]
Rob
Yeah, a lot has been talked. There's been a lot said about this. I don't know, I see what people are saying. I see what he's saying, okay. Puts it right on his heart and goes out. Then he also says, my heart goes out to you. So I don't know what was in his head, but I. And I see how people were talking about it, but, you know, I don't know. I don't know if I can draw the conclusion. And I think it looks a little weird, but I have a tough time with a hard conclusion.
- [132:56]
Patrick Bet-David
Adam.
- [132:57]
Adam
Well, look, Elon, there's so many good things I can say about Elon. Smart, intelligent, witty, the richest man in the world. You know, you talk about golf scores all the time. You know, if you played Madden, he's, you know, a 99 on wealth, 100 on wealth, 99 on strength, speed, agility, all that. Listen, Elon, public speaking maybe isn't your thing. Stand up comedy maybe isn't your thing. So if, if he paid a little bit, just a little bit more attention, maybe preparation before going on stage, he would sort of avoid any gaffes. Now he literally did a. And I go, whoa, what was that? Now, as a Jewish person, let me help you guys out out there. He's not a Nazi. He doesn't go to Nazi rallies. He's not a fan of Adolf Hitler. Stop it. I can already see the ridiculous media attacking this guy. Here it is. Reuters. Elon Musk hand gesture during Trump interview festivities draw scrutiny. The guy was talking about space. I'm sure it looked awkward. I'm sure it looked weird. I'm sure if he had a chance to do it all over again, he probably wouldn't go out. Throw a sea cow out there to the atmosphere. He's more interested in going to Mars. So he's going to sustain this attack. But on behalf of the Jewish community, relax. The guy's on the good team. He's on Team America. He wants the good guys to win. Sustain this attack. He's going to be just fine for.
- [134:24]
Vinny
For all the people out there. Yeah, great point. Because if you're playing the Hitler, Nazi, whatever, just shut up. Just shut up. You got. First of all, the guy's autistic. He has Asperger's. This guy has never been in the limelight. He's not. He's done interviews, which he's freaking amazing. He will put your lights out. And he did it to that BBC reporter. Like, I don't think he never thought in a million years this guy would be. Remember the last rally he went to where he was jumping? He's so excited. I don't know if you guys have ever dealt with people that have Asperger's or they have these conditions. They have autism. I have family members that do. I have friends that do. They don't go in front of crowds. They don't do this type of stuff. The guy's genuinely excited. He's telling. His heart is going out to them. He's in the moment. He's not sitting thinking about it. He's not planning it. So for people to try to do it. By the way, this story will be dead after tomorrow. Nobody gives a damn about it. This guy has bigger plans. He has bigger missions. Did it look bad? Yeah. For people that were kind of looking to say, oh, hey, Hitler. Which, I mean, how many more Hitler jokes? And Holly, Charlie Kirk just walked by. Charlie, we love you. So, yeah, I think. I think it's people that are searching and they're looking for something. There's. And like they always say about the. There's no there, there.
- [135:42]
Patrick Bet-David
Rob, can you do me a favor? We have two things I just sent you. Play the one with Kamala Harris, with Elon Musk for the audience to see. Go ahead and play this one if you could, because we're not going back. We're not going back. Look at the hand gesture, okay? And then go to the other picture. Go to the other picture. And you look at this one here. Obama. I don't even know why they put Colbert there. You got Trump. You got Musk. You got Hillary with the old real estate haircut. You got Elizabeth Warren. Who is the bottom right? I can't see the bottom right. Is that Joe Biden?
- [136:13]
Adam
Bottom right's Joe Biden. Above that, Laura Ingram.
- [136:16]
Patrick Bet-David
Well, Laura Ingram. Which. She was there at the Starlight Dinner as well last night. Yeah. I mean, look, there's some basic things you have to realize, and you can be very good at a lot of things and still need help with image, mannerisms. Like when I watch, you know, I have kids, one of my kids will shake your hand and they'll go like this. How are you? What's your name?
- [136:39]
Vinny
Vincent.
- [136:40]
Patrick Bet-David
Great to meet you. Okay. The other son of mine goes like this. How are you? Right? And guess what? They're different. All right? They're different. One of them, you can sit there and talk politics for hours, and you're gonna have that time of your life. The other guy could care less about. Talk to him about sports. You're gonna have the time of your life. One of the guys can go up to a girl and say, here, hold my hand. You're my girlfriend for the weekend at 5 years old. The other guy's like, no, man, I'm not interested. Right? But eventually they were showing clips of Barron and the first administration where he was a little bit awkward. And whoever worked on Baron to clean up his, you know, and whoever worked on Bezos to clean him up. I mean, maybe Musk has got to hire somebody like that. Just kind of see, hey, few basic things for that. And long term, everybody's gonna learn about everyone's motives, intention, desires, visions, goals. And I had a very interesting meeting with somebody, and I said, so, what do you think's Elon's vision long term? And that led to a very interesting conversation. Long term, we're going to realize everyone's visions, motives, desires. Sometimes it takes 5, 10, 15, 20 years. The night is still way too young. What I can tell you is it is 2025, January 21st. Trump is in office. New way of thinking back to common sense, back to, if you do the right thing, good things will happen to you the next four years. And my suggestion to everybody watching this, do not waste the next four years. Be intentional. Have a plan. Get into the right communities, find the right Alliances get into places where you're going to collaborate with others. I cannot tell you how many business cards we have, how many people we did business. Tom, how many people are we going to do business with? Just from the last four days of people we spoke to.
- [138:29]
Rob
Oh, it's tremendous. So there's literally hundreds of people and we've got a short list that's going to take us a month and a half to get through all the follow up.
- [138:39]
Patrick Bet-David
And Tom being one of the best guys that work in the room, people just love Tom. When you see Tom work in the room, it's absolutely incredible. But I hope you guys watching this here. As a husband, you choose to lead your family. As a mother, you choose to lead your family in your community. As a business owner, you do your best to take advantage of next four years to make the opportunity better for your clients, better for your customers, better for your employees employees, better for your community. As somebody that works at a company, find a way to become a better leader for the company, to help the company go to the next level. As a content creator, it's going to be tough the next four years because you don't have a lot of enemies now. So you're going to see the next four years, who's going to rise up, who's not, who's going to recreate themselves. This is going to be a very, very unique era we're going through and we're going to learn a lot the next four years. And like I said in 2025, the year of surprises, the surprises are just getting warmed up. So if you think you're very good at predictions, don't Forget, go to VTNews AI make your predictions. There's a hundred days we're gonna go through. I think we're barely on day 19 of different predictions being made. Obviously it's day two today, but there's been 19 predictions so far. Go claim your predictions the next hundred days. We're going to go through this on a weekly basis on a podcast. We're excited to see which one of you guys is going to be very good at making predictions. God bless everybody. We'll see you guys on Thursday. Take care. Bye.
