We all start somewhere. What began as a simple setup and a few microphones, turned into a place where conversations shaped millions of minds, episode after episode, guest after guest. The PBD Podcast grew into one of the most influential business podcasts in the world, but growth demands evolution. Bigger conversations, bigger guests, bigger vision. And now, a new chapter begins.
Welcome to the next evolution of the PBD Podcast. Are we officially live? Here we go, folks. NUSSET is here, finally. We've been working on this. The team is back there. Make some noise for the guys back there. Great job, everybody. Lots of work. Getting all this thing set up. We're excited to be here with the crew. We've been doing it at the other office, the 5990, which was great. We will not have Michele today, which is devastating. We will not have the croissants in the morning. We will not have the food, the Italian martadella, the prosciutto. We will not have any of that stuff taking place.

**Adam Sosnick** (1:35)
Well, maybe we bring it here. I don't know.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:37)
I think we're on track on building a kitchen here.

**Tom Ellsworth** (1:39)
Because Michele was giving us boardroom style.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:42)
Yeah. So, gang, this whole thing starts with you. Obviously, somehow, someway, we found each other. I cannot tell you how many times we walked. Vinny is telling a story about this week he went to church and what the experience was like when he went to church, how people approached him, getting emotional about what the PBD Podcast does when we're speaking about all these different stories. But it wouldn't happen without you, so I want to start off by thanking you and, this guy is not ready for it, Vinny, I need you to start the podcast with a prayer. So lead the way with a prayer.

**Vincent Oshana** (2:10)
Oh, wow. Dear Lord, thank you for another beautiful day. I pray, Lord, that you protect everybody in this room and all the people out there watching at home. Bless the PBD Podcast, Lord, because you know the message is about the truth and finding the way and leading people to you, because everything happens to you. You are the way, you are the truth, you are the life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:30)
Amen, amen. Let's go. He wasn't prepared.

**Vincent Oshana** (2:33)
I wasn't.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:34)
I didn't tell him about it. I said, I'm going to come to you first. He didn't know what that meant.

**Adam Sosnick** (2:37)
For someone that was not prepared, you seem pretty damn prepared.

**Vincent Oshana** (2:40)
I'm always ready for him.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:41)
That's right. Okay, well.

**Adam Sosnick** (2:42)
Here he is. Take him.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:43)
Listen, just so you know, don't give any ultimatums, because one was given about 48 hours ago. Okay, and that ultimatum ends about tonight at 745 But this morning, at 710, this man who works five days a week at this building on Pennsylvania, the other two in Mar-a-Lago, for the most part, and sometimes he's on the road, he said two days ago, about 40 hours ago, 39 hours ago to Iran, if you do this, we will do this, and of course, we'll get into the story. And then this morning, the president comes out and says they had great talks. Things are looking good.
And at that time, oil was at 98 Within minutes after 7-10, it drops to 89 I think Dow pre-market is already up a point and a half already. It's up 700 points already today. We'll see what will happen. Mario in the fall puts on Twitter that Iran is now saying that they never had the conversation. So did it happen? Did it not happen? We'll talk about it here. Now the president is extending it, when he said this morning, at 7-10, five more days. We'll definitely talk about it. What's special about that is the fact that tonight, the USS Tripoli is getting closer. What does that really mean? For everybody else, if you're traveling this weekend with TSA, there's a lot that we're seeing with TSA.
There's videos of people waiting three hours for getting in. We don't know what that is about waiting for three hours for getting in, but anyways, we'll show the clips. I know Tom was at the airport this morning, got 3.45. He'll tell this version of what happened. We've got to get into the Massachusetts story of what's going on with taxes. There's a team in Washington, the Seahawks GM comes out and says, listen, you guys keep raising taxes. I'm having a hard time recruiting talent. I want to come over here. So imagine he's now going to say, look, if you're a Seahawks fan, don't lower the taxes because of politics. At least lower the taxes so we can win another Super Bowl because you're not helping us win another Super Bowl. And then a couple other stories we have to get into. Robert Mueller died, and when he did die, the president came up with a truth social that people at the beginning didn't even believe. And then it ended up being the real truth social. And then he was asked by Scott Besson and others why this was said. Anyways, we'll get to that as well. And at 20 countries, deciding to go through Strait of Hormuz, what that's going to be looking like. And anyways, we'll talk about that as well. And we have a bunch of other stories that maybe we'll get into. Mark Victor Hansen said some interesting things. You know, Nick Shirley is getting attacked left and right. He needs to increase his security. He needs help financially. When he's going on the road, because of all the threats that he's getting, maybe we'll find a way collectively to help him out with Nick Shirley. And then aside from that, if we have time, we'll get into a few other stories that we have here as well. Gang, one thing from me to you, if you enjoy seeing what we do here at PBD Podcast, I have a basic request from you. 51% of you, do not watch this. Do not subscribe to the channel. Just watch it on a weekly basis. If you have not yet taken a moment to subscribe to the channel, it helps us out with our algorithms. We're reinvesting everything we have back into the company. Since day one of starting Valuetainment, I've never taken a penny off the table on Valuetainment. 100% of anything we do gets reinvested because of the vision that we have long term. If you want to support that vision, the way you can do it is by helping us get more exposure, by pressing that smash button, and that subscribe button and notification next to it, it definitely helps us out. So with that being said, let's get right into it. The first story I want to start off with, Rob, if you want to pull up this tweet by the president this morning, is this the one from 48 hours ago, or is this the one from this morning?
