Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright.
Toufi Saliba (0:14)
My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here.
Patrick Bet-David (0:26)
All right, so today, we're late because of me, because my daughter, she has this father, daddy, she was dressed as Superlicious, so we had to go there and. And I think that's a great way to entertain and have donuts and hang out and have a good time, and then all of a sudden, got in the car, head out here, and I got a little butterfly. I don't know if you guys see this or not.
Toufi Saliba (0:45)
You see this thing here? Yeah, very manly.
SPEAKER_3 (0:47)
Sir, do me a favor.
Patrick Bet-David (0:48)
Yes.
Adam Sosnick (0:48)
It's my fault.
Vinny Catalano (0:50)
No, let me listen Today. we can't.
Patrick Bet-David (0:52)
Blame It On The Night. Remember that song?
Toufi Saliba (0:54)
Blame It On The Rain. Blame It On The Rain.
Patrick Bet-David (0:56)
There's two of them. There's two songs like that. Anyways, we got a lot of stories. We have a special guest with us. Yesterday, Iranians are texting me. They're like, you're kidding me? He's coming. Are you serious?
You know, the-
Toufi Saliba (1:10)
You got the twins in.
Patrick Bet-David (1:10)
Yeah, yeah, the twins. So it's great to have you. If the audience doesn't know you, maybe you got millions of subscribers. You've done a very good job with the audience. Maybe share with the audience what you do.
Toufi Saliba (1:18)
Yeah, I'm Mya Tse. I run TCTV.
Obviously, we're on YouTube as well. We did the live breaking news. It's a geopolitical news. So anything that happens around the world, we try to go out there as fast as possible before CNN and Fox News and everyone else. We also have our own platform, our own app, TCTV Plus, where we have documentaries and everything else. And obviously, we still try to grow. We're here now to expand. We're obviously from London. We're now based in South Florida. Let's go.
Patrick Bet-David (1:42)
Nobody could tell you're from London.
Toufi Saliba (1:43)
Not at all. I was from Texas.
Patrick Bet-David (1:47)
Okay, so there's a lot of stories to get into. There is this guy that sends a tweet who says the end of the world is coming with AI, becomes the hottest tweet of maybe 2026 outside of Innes Cantor's, who also did very well, gets, I think, 800,000 likes, gets a couple hundred million views, and says, this is it. These guys are not responsible. They resigned from Anthropic, and I was like, oh my God, this is crazy. And then people started saying, wait a minute, what's this, Elon responded, then within seconds he responds to Elon. Everybody got him up. At first, everyone's reaction was, the end of the world is coming. Like me. And then folks from Anthropic responded, folks from media responded. We have to talk. Then a guy named Parker Thayer responds to Jacob Cox, and there's a lot to it. There's a lot to it.
Some are saying even if he's an insider, even a tie to Sam Bankman Fried, I don't know if you saw that one, Tom, and Bernie Sanders, some very interesting NGOs that there could be a tie to. We'll get into that. We have to talk about that because it is a topic. A lot of people are worried about what's gonna happen with AI. And by the way, if you go on Perplexity, or if you go on Chad GBT, and you force it to answer the question of, what is the likelihood of in the next 10 years AI taking over? Do you know what the answer is?
Toufi Saliba (3:06)
No.
Patrick Bet-David (3:07)
Do you know what even AI says?
Toufi Saliba (3:08)
What?
Patrick Bet-David (3:09)
Two to five percent. It's a pretty high percentage for it to be able to say that.
Toufi Saliba (3:13)
We're asking AI. You're asking AI. Meaning it could be even higher.
That's like telling the murderer, are you going to murder me if I fall asleep? And he's like, no. So what do you say?
Vinny Catalano (3:22)
You mean like five to 10 points? I just, if it starts getting conscious, which it is, Matt, why wouldn't it take over? Look at this.
Patrick Bet-David (3:29)
AI literally causes human extinction. The rough probability is two to five percent. That's a high probability. Extinction, two to five percent. Means one to 50, one to 20 odds, you know? I bet on horses that it's one to 99 odds with that. So FYI, if you go to calcium and you put money on that, even if you win, it doesn't matter. You understand? I just want 17 billion dollars, you're dead.
