28.297 - 48.631 Unknown

PPD. Live, sir. We are here. Here we go. We're here. We're live. Let's go here. Guys, welcome to the PPD podcast. That's called focus. That's called focus. That's called not having this on because we have so much. Well, what's up, everybody? Good to be with you. Just to correct Adam, today is not Labor Day. It's Memorial Day. Memorial Day. Although we are working today. Yes, we are.

48.792 - 68.987 Unknown

Shout out to everybody listening. 1971, it became a thing. to recognize fallen soldiers last Monday of May. They call it the beginning of summer is what it's called today. So, Vinny, in a minute, we'll be doing some prayers. As we get into it, we got a lot of stuff to go through. Today's also the day where we're making the announcement. of speakers, the vault speakers. Can't wait for this.

69.108 - 89.626 Unknown

We've been waiting for this for a while. It's been exciting. The lineup of speakers are going to be phenomenal. And then aside from that, stories to get into. The U.S.-Iran deal. That hasn't happened yet, but it is in progress. The president even said from Iran that they've agreed to give up the nuclear-enriched uranium. You've not heard that before from them.

89.666 - 111.52 Unknown

They have finally agreed to something like that. The blockade is... made it very difficult for them. We'll cover that story. Then we have to talk about the assassination attempt on Ivanka Trump. I believe it was a story that came out, so we'll address that as well. And then there was a shooting at the White House. Can you imagine what it is to be working at D.C. or be working at White House?

111.54 - 126.803 Unknown

How many of these types of things you hear happening around the president? It's like a regular thing now. If you're immune to it, that's a problem. Think about it. By now you're like, wait, there was a shooting? Can you imagine it's no longer a main story? It's like the number three story. There was a shooting in the White House.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of the U.S.-Iran nuclear deal?

178.484 - 202.607 Unknown

There's the way Asians react, and there's the way... Americans react, and Humberto was even more specific, white female, like on how they react to shooting. I want to make sure I give the shout out to our analyst, hardcore analyst from Chile. So, you know, we will go through. Yeah, he doesn't want me to say it. who is a very proud American. He loves it. He assimilated very well here.

0

202.647 - 219.713 Unknown

He loves America, just to make sure the right people hear that. And then we have to talk about Hasan Piker. Something happened with Hasan Piker. Apparently they showed up, they knocked on his door, and they said, hey, it's kind of time. You can't go around indirectly talking about threatening the president, which we'll address that later.

0

220.958 - 239.215 Unknown

And then he was hanging out also with a girl named Ashley St. Clair, which isn't she like Elon's baby mama? Baby mama, right? One of the baby mamas. You got to get in the list of one of them. So she was there as well hanging out with him. I don't know what that reasoning was. McKenzie. is not knowing how to adjust with everything that's going on with AI.

0

239.516 - 261.204 Unknown

And they're saying, hey, we've got to kind of figure this thing out because all the days of people paying a half a million dollars to $2 million for McKinsey to run a report for them are behind them. They don't even know what to do next. I've got a lot of thoughts on the consulting industry. NBA fire sale. If you didn't see the NBA fire sale, not NBA fire sale. There's not an NBA fire sale.

0

261.224 - 287.298 Unknown

There's a good series going out right now with the Spurs and – NBA. And OKC. And OKC. We're talking M, Masters in Business Administration, MBA fire sale that every parent needs to listen to and have their kids also listen to. It's a quarter of a million dollar savings. And colleges, some major, major colleges. We're talking like Michigan. We're talking UC Irvine giving a 50% discount.

287.318 - 306.563 Unknown

We're talking like real schools that are giving big discounts. And that WSJ Wall Street Journal article is phenomenal. We've got to go through it. And for those of you guys that are tuning in with us on Memorial Day, I just want to tell you, you know, you're the true fans that we've got here joining us. A lot of people here were asking some of the new employees that we have.

306.583 - 320.808 Unknown

You know, we've got 170-plus employees. Are you guys still going to do a podcast on Memorial Day? I said, listen, we've done podcasts on worse days, on busier days. Thanksgiving, sir. We do Thanksgiving. We do Christmas. We'll do New Year's. We'll do all of it. It doesn't matter.

320.888 - 336.867 Unknown

But today, before we start the podcast, Vinny, and before I make the announcement, Vinny, I want you to take a moment here and start us off with a prayer. Yes, sir. Dear Lord, on this Memorial Day, we take a moment to honor the men and women who gave their lives defending this country and the freedoms that we often take for granted.

337.369 - 352.598 Unknown

We pray for their families, for our veterans, for our service members still carrying that weight of sacrifice. We also pray for everyone watching and listening to our podcast today, Lord, whatever burdens they're carrying, whatever battles they're facing, give them peace and strength, wisdom, and hope.

Chapter 3: What led to Tulsi Gabbard's resignation?

364.817 - 383.586 Unknown

In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Amen, amen, amen. By the way, when you have four kids and you pray, you know what's one of the best things when somebody prays at the table? Is when your youngest is always doing one of these. She's looking. Looking around to see whose eyes are open. You know what I'm talking about. To the four-year-old community that you keep your eyes open. We love you.

0

383.606 - 396.583 Unknown

You're the best. You make prayers even more exciting. But Vinny, thank you for that prayer. And to all the families that you've gone through, that have some friends who have, whose family have gone through it, our prayers and thoughts are with you. Having said that, let's get right into it.

397.083 - 413.944 Unknown

The president is trying to broker one of the most important deals we've had in the last few decades, and that is to get Iran to get rid of the enriched uranium. And it's been very complicated. A lot of people, if you go to Kalshi, oh, this thing's not going to get done until next year. It's not going to get done until September. It's not going to get done until July.

0

413.924 - 432.79 Unknown

I said it's going to get done before June 14th, and a lot of people disagreed, which I agree with them. I understand this is not an easy thing to get done. But then we got stories that, one, all of a sudden, the president announced he will not be going to his son's wedding. Wait, you're not going to your son's wedding? No. It's not like it's his fourth wedding.

0

433.411 - 449.314 Unknown

You know, you don't go to someone's fourth wedding. Normally, you just don't attend the fourth. Like if somebody invites you to your fourth wedding, what do you say? Hey, man, listen, I may make it to the fifth, but I'm skipping the fourth. This is the second. You typically, if you have a friend or son, you make the first and the second. From there, it's okay if you don't.

449.735 - 475.834 Unknown

So the president decides not to go to the second wedding that Don Jr. is having. And then aside from that, while this whole thing is going on, Ivanka Trump, rumors come out that there's an assassination attempt on his daughter. Wait, what? So he's missing the wedding to his oldest son. His daughter is getting an assassination attempt. And is this a story on Ivanka's assassination attempt?

475.854 - 476.415 Unknown

Go ahead, Rob.

477.205 - 498.842 Adam Sosnick

In the New York Post, the man behind this plot was an Iraqi national who the Justice Department had arrested earlier this month for his alleged ties to Qatai Hezbollah and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The New York Post reports Mohammed al-Sadi had targeted Ivanka Trump to avenge the killing of his mentor, top Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, in 2020.

498.822 - 518.552 Adam Sosnick

A former deputy military attache in the Iraqi embassy tells the Post, after Qasem was killed, al-Sadi went around telling people, we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house. Al-Sadi reportedly had a blueprint of Ivanka's Florida home and even posted a photo of their house online saying,

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Hasan Piker's subpoena?

620.333 - 640.41 Unknown

Iran has agreed to give up a stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Iran currently has 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, which is enough for 11 nuclear bombs. These are the rumors of what's being negotiated. Pazeshkian said, yes, we're willing to give it up. The U.S. has began a phase of unfreezing Iran's $6 billion to $30 billion in cash. Strait of Hormuz will open up.

0

640.511 - 661.872 Unknown

Iran won't charge a penny for the ships going through. No $2 million toll that they'll collect. The U.S. agrees to relieve some of the sanctions. War ends on all fronts with Lebanon. U.S. forces near Iran to withdraw. 30 to 60 days to finalize the nuclear deal. If true, this is a massive victory. Here's my winners and losers of what I think is going to happen. And Tom, I'm coming to you first.

0

661.852 - 683.117 Unknown

with this one here. Number one winner, American people, oil prices will likely fall, shipping insurance costs drop, inflation pressures eases. Number two, the president, it's a big deal to get this done. Three global markets, four stock market, five Gulf states, temporary tension eliminated. I have them both as winners and losers. I'll tell you why in a minute. IRGC gains legitimacy.

0

683.097 - 701.86 Unknown

They're not Venezuela. Venezuela, they came in, they picked up Maduro, they're gone. You couldn't do that with Iran. You kill 50 of their top leaders, including their supreme leader, and they still stood up, right? So whether anyone likes this or not, including myself, we have to say they gained some legitimacy. China's a major winner. State of Hormuz hurts them the most.

0

701.88 - 720.131 Unknown

They can spin this to their people that the deal got done after the president left China, but guess what? They desperately need this aid. Russia relies on Iran being a bit more stable. NATO nations were starting to worry. They were pansy, shivering about having to help the U.S. They're also the biggest losers. I'll cover that here in a minute as well. Losers, the Iranian people.

720.652 - 741.005 Unknown

No one knows what the IRGC will do to their people after the deal to their own people. Their media outlets will say they beat America. Can you imagine, like, you're in Iran, you know how vicious these people are, and you have to sit there potentially for 10, 20 more years, because we realize Reza Pahlavi couldn't do it alone. Reza Pahlavi couldn't do it with the Trump administration.

741.065 - 761.695 Unknown

Now the people are stranded. They're saying, what about all these times we went in the streets? What about the 30, 40, 50,000? The numbers we've heard, low 30, 100, high 100,000. The Iranian people... are the ones that are the biggest losers of this because IRGC still stays in control. Number two, Obama administration. This sounds like a much stronger deal than Obama did.

761.775 - 779.217 Unknown

Obama couldn't pull this off, so this is not a good look for them. Netanyahu, he wanted regime change or collapse for his legacy, but Trump wasn't on the same page. At the end, NATO was exposed. They showed they don't have America's back if shit were to hit the fan. Terrible moment for NATO nations. Reza Pahlavi, another year of not being able to pull it off for his people.

779.277 - 797.175 Unknown

Trust me, I get a lot of shit from people that are fans of our peace. And I cannot believe you say this, but then you would be amazed how many thousands of messages of people who support him and love him and like him simply say, just because I love him and like him doesn't mean he's the leader I would vote for to get this thing done. So they...

Chapter 5: What are the details of Hasan Piker's subpoena?

3602.667 - 3622.219 Unknown

The FBI came knocking, right? Is that what happened here? Yeah, federal subpoena of Sam Piker, Media Benjamin over Cuba trips, subpoena of political streamer Sam Piker and Code Pink co-founder Media Benjamin as part of the broader investigation into whether American activists violated U.S. sanctions law while supporting Cuban communist government.

0

3622.199 - 3638.52 Unknown

Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control requests a financial, logistical, and communication records tied to March trips to Cuba organized through the Nuestra American Convoy, a coalition of communist activists, influencers, and community organizations that deliver supplies to Cuba's ruling Communist Party.

0

3639.06 - 3662.128 Unknown

The investigation reportedly involves as many as 40 American citizens and forms of a larger federal effort targeting foreign influence operations tied to extremist movements, political violence, and organizations accused of promoting anti-U.S. narratives. Fox News digital businessman Roy Singham allegedly funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into nonprofits promoting pro-China.

0

3663.408 - 3685.126 Unknown

Pro-Cuba and anti-American activism. Code Pink reportedly received more than a million dollars from Singham after his marriage to co-founder Jody Evans. Organizations tied to Convoy, Democratic Socialist America, the People's Forum, and the Venezuelan Brigade authorities invested in Cuba focused on sanctions violations. Vinny, how big of a deal is this?

0

3685.267 - 3707.4 Unknown

Well, I mean, and again, we have to wait to see everything, but it just, like, the first thing that hit my head was, like, can you imagine being a wannabe, hardcore, Marxist revolutionary, and Hasan Piker, your Che Guevara, who's constantly bashing America, constantly crapping on capitalism, talking about imperialism, privilege, oppression, all that, how horrible this country is.

3707.841 - 3722.281 Unknown

Meanwhile, he's a multimillionaire celebrity inside the very system that he claims to hate. And the second, Pat, the second the federal government applies a little bit of pressure, he shows his true colors. And you know what it is? He ain't about that life. All right?

Chapter 6: How does Hasan Piker's situation reflect on his political views?

3722.501 - 3744.839 Unknown

Rob, if you want to play that part of him, he's like, look at how shook he is. Go ahead. I'm not going to lie to you guys. It's not great. Oh, no. The news is not great. Yeah. Okay? Okay. I mean, it's bullshit. Oh, of course. Of course. But... It's still not great.

0

3745.059 - 3745.279 Patrick Bet-David

Shook.

0

3746.802 - 3747.302 Unknown

Free me.

0

3748.905 - 3751.068 Patrick Bet-David

They're after your boy. They're up my ass.

0

3752.23 - 3755.635 Unknown

And I'll obviously get into it right now.

3756.476 - 3760.763 Patrick Bet-David

I'll tell you all about it. But let me blast off real quick.

3762.076 - 3764.599 Unknown

Watch this. Does he say free me here? Free me.

3764.619 - 3765.62 Patrick Bet-David

We will free you, brother.

3765.76 - 3778.094 Unknown

Yeah, free me. Free me. Okay, so by the way, Rob, no revolutionary speech, Pat. No rally cry, no stand firm on principle, just free me, free me. I can't believe I'm saying that.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the White House shooting incident?

3778.114 - 3802.153 Unknown

That's because he's not a revolutionary, okay? He's a champagne socialist who loves the aesthetic of a revolution. It sounds good, it's alluring, it's hot, it's sexy, right? But he likes that way more than the actual revolution itself. Okay? Che Guevara is probably rolling in his grave right now. Pam, mind you guys, let me remind you guys who Hasan Piker is. This guy said America deserved 9-11.

0

3802.554 - 3821.038 Unknown

He's doubled down. He's tripled down on it. He's talking about all the wars we do, we deserved it. Over 3,000 Americans dead, okay? Not soldiers, just Americans in the world trade dead in New York. He said we deserve that, okay? This is that guy. And then this is him, Rob. Who is he sitting with here, Pat? Do you guys know who this girl is? I don't know who this female is.

0

3821.058 - 3839.859 Unknown

Do you guys know her, Adam? She's a social media, she's a pundit, whatever. Look at what he's talking about about her. She talks about assassination. Play this clip. This is how he feels about Trump's assassination. You actually wrote about this, and it was a great video where you talked about, you know, Someone has to do it meaning assassinating Trump.

0

3839.879 - 3861.422 Unknown

Look at her when I say that everyone knows exactly what I mean Which is I think that shows that there's a lot of anger a lot of resentment and untapped potential Untapped revolutionary potential as a matter of fact, and it's a great opportunity for for organizing I think in these Untapped like revolution

0

3861.402 - 3868.456 Unknown

He's talking about, because she made the comment about killing the president of the United States, Taylor Lorenz. And this is the guy.

Chapter 8: How does the recent White House shooting relate to political violence?

3868.776 - 3890.607 Unknown

And I think, Pat, I believe, allegedly, he might be one of these people that's getting money from a turkey or getting money from the Middle East. These are the Trojan horse people that are poisoning the minds of the youth. anti-America, hates the country, praises 9-11, and then the moment the government tries to get on you and just is hinting at a subpoena, you turn into a little girl.

0

3890.848 - 3909.3 Unknown

Okay, and I love, Pat, that you mentioned Deville Roy Singham, Tom. He's the guy from China. Watch this guy closely, folks. Dude, Pat, $285 million into nonprofits, including the Hasan Piker company called the Code Pink, the place that he was hanging out with over there. And this is what's going to happen, Pat. You ask me what they're going to do?

0

3909.561 - 3929.309 Unknown

They're going to go through your financial records. They're going to go through your communications, your logistics, and whether you're working and abetting the communist regime of Cuba. Okay, and if that happens, guys, if you're peddling for a foreign nation, don't you have to register as a foreign agent? So I'm just saying all the talk and the moment it happens, bro.

0

3929.549 - 3940.545 Unknown

Play that clip as well, Ron. Play that clip as well. Literally doesn't matter. He can prep with whoever he wants. He can prep with Benny Morris if he wants. There is no what you support terrorism question mark.

0

3940.966 - 3946.354 Patrick Bet-David

No, I don't. I don't support the state of Israel. And I don't support the state of the United States of America.

3948.663 - 3950.666 Unknown

That's the 9-11 one, Pat? Yeah, Rob, that's the wrong one.

3950.686 - 3951.306 Vincent Oshana

No, there is the 9-11 one.

3951.326 - 3970.672 Unknown

There's a clip where he says America deserves what happened on 9-11, and he said something about capitalist blood. Oh, yeah, let a blood, like, soak their effing, kill them, put their blood in the streets. Pat, this is, again, all talk, all talk, and the moment you get checked, it's a run. Who's he related to? Isn't he, like, related to somebody? Cenk Uygur's nephew. Cenk's nephew.

3971.192 - 3983.344 Unknown

The apple doesn't fall that far from the tree. Rob, I just sent you a clip. Play that clip to kind of see him. And by the way, there's a message to this. There's a message to this. And it's not even towards him. There's a message to the youth. Go ahead, Rob. Play this clip.
