Patrick Bet-David is a brilliant business man and student of humanity.
He also has one of the top podcasts out there over at Valuetainment.
What makes him great, in my opinion, is his ability to read people and quickly and clearly read the motivations that secretly drive people.
So when I saw him post this video explaining why Democrats are terrified of President Trump, I was fascinated to watch.
I think he’s onto something here, but I’d love to know what you think.
Watch here:
FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Speaker: Here’s how life works, okay? Most people model themselves after somebody. They’ll say, “I want to be like Ronald Reagan. I want to be like John F. Kennedy. I want to be like Barack Obama. I want to be like Bill Clinton.” Right?
Every once in a while, somebody comes up who’s not trying to be like anybody. They’re just unique. This guy’s unique—very unique. You haven’t experienced a candidate like this before. He’s rough around the edges. He believes in the basic rules: attack, attack, attack; never admit you lost; always be on the offensive; never admit to being wrong. He plays a very different game.
Part of what helps him out is that he was raised in an environment with a lot of tough guys. When you’re raised around tough guys, you either get scared, or you start noticing patterns in how they try to bully you, and you think, “Oh, okay, that’s what you want to do? No problem. I’ll store it right here.” Six years later, he remembers when that guy did that, and he says, “Let me use this.” Here’s what’s going to happen right now: this guy’s been trained for this moment his entire life. His skin is so thick. Imagine what used to bother him 30 years ago—it doesn’t bother him today. Imagine what used to bother him 20 years ago—it doesn’t bother him today. What hasn’t he gone through?
Right now, they don’t know how to handle a guy like this. This is the most intimidating, most obnoxious, annoying opponent they’ve ever had.
John: Think about how a Barack Obama, a Pelosi, a Hillary, a Schumer, a Noem, an AOC—think about how they’re going to be sleeping over the next 24 days. Actually visualize how they’re sleeping. Whatever hotel they’re at, whatever Airbnb, house, penthouse—they finish the night watching CNN or Fox, they finish the night on X. They go to sleep having nightmares about him. Every flipping night, in the middle of the night, they wake up: “Oh my God, Michelle! Michelle! Michelle! The bed is wet.”
Michelle: “What, babe? I’m right here.”
John: “Babe, is it already November? Did they already announce him as president?”
Michelle: “No, babe. Today’s October 25th.”
John: “Oh, oh my God, babe. Please hold my hand. Please hold my hand. Please hold my hand. Oh my God, oh my God, it’s not here yet.”
Every night, they’re going to sleep, wetting their beds because they’re frightened of this guy winning. Every night. The first time, they were able to get rid of him. This time around, this is going to be the most uncomfortable 23, 24, 22 days for these guys, and then add another four years.
Now, here’s the thing about the next four years. He wins, and if they do something to him, like the whole three assassination attempts, the guy behind him—J.D. Vance—is not a lightweight. He’s not Mike Pence. J.D. Vance is not Mike Pence. Mike Pence, they could control. You can’t control J.D. Vance. As of right now, he may change; I’m not one to trust too early. But as of now, J.D. Vance crushed the debate, right? And we’re gonna see what he’s going to be doing with that.
But yeah, this is when a guy comes in and says, “It’s my season. You’re going to hand me all the chips for the next four years. That guy is here.” They don’t like it because it’s no longer about Obama. Obama’s boring right now.
It used to be exciting in 2004. Whether you’re Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, straight, gay—this was about America. “Oh my God, what a great speech!” In 2008, boom! Beats out everybody—President, inauguration, people cry, Nobel Prize just for becoming President. You haven’t done anything, but dude, you’re gonna bring us together.
And then, more racism. More racism. “It’s because I’m Black. It’s because I’m Black. It’s because I’m Black.” Oh, we thought you were real. You’re just another one of those establishment guys. Yeah, we checked out.
Do you think this also has something to do with it?

President Trump FINALLY Sits Down With Patrick Bet-David
Many of you know I'm a big fan of Patrick Bet-David....and for good reason.
He provides so much incredible value and analysis on his show over at Valuetainment. And actually, before he started talking about politics, I would follow him because his Business educational videos were so amazing! Then he started talking politics, started speaking out to support President Trump, and the rest is history.
Patrick's YouTube channel has over 2 million followers, but until now President Trump had never gone on his show.
That all changed this week and it was every bit worth the wait!
Please enjoy below and if you prefer the transcript instead, I also have that for you below.

Full transcript:
Patrick Bet-David: So, before you watch this interview, I want to share a couple thoughts with you. For a guy like me, I used to come up in business. I never liked politics, never paid attention to it. I could care less. My parents got a divorce. I didn’t want to deal with it. I hated politics. Then I realized it matters to pay attention to politics. I’m starting to pay a lot of money, and I’m like, “Wait a minute, what is this all about?”
If you consider yourself the leader of your household, never has there been a more important time than today to pay attention to politics. By the way, if you love Trump and you’re already committed to voting for him, you’re going to love this interview because there are a lot of things he’s never talked about before. If you hate Trump and nothing can change your mind, you’re also going to love this interview. But if you’re part of the independent undecided voter that’s sitting there saying, “I really want to make up my mind of who I’m voting for,” I address three issues.
Personal life—I asked him a question at the end about personal. I played a clip for him. You’ll get to decide if he got emotional or not. You’ll see body language for yourself and say, “I’ve never seen this side before of him,” right? I asked him questions about business. I asked him a question about when he became President. You went into the White House first, who were the power players? Who—who was the most? Was it the Director of the CIA? Was it Big Pharma? Was it military? Who was it? I never thought the answer he was going to give me, and what name he gave to some of the people—I’ve never heard him say that before.
He reacted to a few videos about Barack Obama. Showed him a couple charts he had never seen before. But all I will tell you is, you’re going to see things that’s never been discussed with him before for the first time ever in this interview.
So, with that being said, again, if you consider yourself the leader of your household, where your voice matters, your vote matters, I would pay attention to every single minute of this interview with the one and only President Donald J. Trump.
Patrick Bet-David: Did you ever think you would make it?
President Trump: I feel I’m so—I taste victory. I know this life. Why would you bet on Goliath when we got Bet-David?
Patrick Bet-David: So, we have a special guest in the house today for the podcast. We’ve been waiting to do this for a long time. However, whether you love him or hate him, there’s one thing you have to know. In my opinion, he is the only trifecta we’ve ever had in the history of America. Let me tell you why I call him a trifecta.
We’ve only had one person who’s won in business—became the king of New York, became a billionaire—that’s one. Two, he won in media—number one show, Apprentice, 15 years in a row. Three, he becomes a President. So you got, he won in business, he won in media, he won in politics. Again, there’s never been a person who’s done that. Like I said, whether you love him or hate him, you have to respect him.
Mr. President, it’s great to have you.
President Trump: That was a nice introduction. Thank you very much. You are a one-on-one. Yeah, let’s end the show right now.
Patrick Bet-David: Okay, so I want to get right into it. I got a lot of questions I want to ask. Some of it’s personal, some of it’s business, some of it’s politics. But something happened last week. Barack Obama, he’s at this event. He’s speaking, right? And he’s giving this message about your economy, how great the economy was. And then at the end of it, he says, “You know, you didn’t build that economy. I built this.”
I kind of want to get your reaction on this, uh, talk that he’s given. Rob, if you can put that up.
Rob: And the reason, some people think, “Well, I don’t know.” I remember that economy when he first came—came in being pretty good.
Barack Obama video clip plays: Yeah, it was pretty good 'cause it was my economy. We had had 75 straight months of job growth that I handed over to him. It wasn’t something he did. I had spent eight years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time. So just in case everybody has a hazy memory of that, what he didn’t—he didn’t do nothing except those big tax cuts.
Patrick Bet-David: So how do you feel about this, when you see him saying this last week?
President Trump: I think he’s angry. He pretends not to be, but I think he’s an angry guy. He’s a nasty guy. He’s got a little bit of an edge. And, you know, he’s angry about a lot of things. You look at what happened with Biden, and you look at what he did with Biden, he really hurt Biden because, uh, I’m not sure he wouldn’t have imploded anyway. We had the debate, and he was down quite a bit, and they walked out, and they just took it away from him. I mean, if you think about it, they stole the election from a sitting president. That’s—you know, I always say coup, but the word coup, I don’t think it’s accurate enough. They just walked in and took it away from him. That is a legendary thing what he didn’t want to give up. He’s angry. Now they’re all angry. The Democrats, if you think, they’re angry. They’re both angry.
President Trump: But no, I watched that last week, and I think he spoke down to Black men. I thought it was terrible, the way he spoke to them.
Patrick Bet-David: You think it’s effective? You think he still carries the same stick as he did, you know, maybe eight years ago or twelve years ago?
President Trump: No, I don’t think he is. No, I don’t think he does. I think people have gotten smart. And, uh, no, I don’t believe he does at all. He’s—I hadn’t seen him, he’s changed a lot. Visually, he’s changed. I like to say visually, as opposed to from the look standpoint, because of course, looks don’t matter anymore in politics. You know, you say looks don’t matter, doesn’t make any difference, right? Because we want to be politically correct. But they do matter. But he’s—he’s changed. His look has changed actually quite a bit. I haven’t seen him in a long time, and by the way, I think that’s even four years ago. I think it’s even more than it is.
Patrick Bet-David: Well no, but the statement he just made was a couple days ago, and that—yeah, it was a couple days ago, and it’s similar to the statement he made back in 2012 when he told business owners, “You didn’t build that,” remember when he said that?
President Trump: Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David: I don’t know if you remember that whole comment.
President Trump: I do.
Patrick Bet-David: I think this is the speech. Rob, if you want to play this.
Obama video clip plays: You got a business? That—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
President Trump: So this becomes a pattern.
Patrick Bet-David: A pattern of Communism. You see a pattern of Communism?
President Trump: No, I mean, that’s basically the view. You know, we didn’t do anything, right? Government did it. Somebody did it. Anybody but us.
Patrick Bet-David: Do you think this works with the undecided voter? Do you think the undecided voter that’s sitting there—our audience, they’re entrepreneurs, they’re small business owners, they’re family, they have kids, they want to win, they’ve got dreams, they want to do something. Do you think a message like that from him lands on the business owner, on the undecided voter, on the person that says, “You know what? I think he’s right, I’m going to go vote for him.” You think it works?
President Trump: I think you don’t have that many undecided voters. I think by now you have very strong Trump voters. I don’t think you have strong—you have strong Democrat voters, but I don’t think you have strong Kamala voters. What’s to vote for? I mean, take a look. She can’t do an interview. She hasn’t—has she been in here to do an interview?
Patrick Bet-David: No, not yet.
President Trump: I don’t think you’ll see her. You know, I have a—I hear she’s claiming she’s going to go on Rogan.
Patrick Bet-David: Well, that’ll be interesting. So am I. I heard, uh—
President Trump: But I think I am. I don’t know, I think so. But, uh, it’ll be interesting. It’ll be interesting to see what happens today with Brett Baier. You know, Brett’s two people. He can be very nice or he can be, uh, himself.
Patrick Bet-David: He was tough on you.
President Trump: If he’s tough on her the way he was tough on me. He was very tough on me. He was always—no, he was always nasty to me, and, uh—right? I don’t think he’ll be tough on her. I don’t think he’ll be. Fox is a very disappointing thing. During the day, Fox is just terrible. Terrible.
Patrick Bet-David: But I want to show something with this. When you look at this whole Barack Obama thing, I think the one thing they don’t show—you were talking yesterday, uh, I think it was the Bloomberg event, which by the way, I loved. I love the way you handled the whole tariff conversation. That was a great—
President Trump: I got sort of, uh, I got hoodwinked to go on that, you know. I was supposed to make a speech in front of the Chicago Economic Club, which is a big deal, you know, which is a very prestigious place, beautiful, everything was beautiful. And all of a sudden, I understand I’m being interviewed by this gentleman, and he’s got a reputation for—for being tough.
Patrick Bet-David: Oh, I’d love to see him do, uh, Kamala.
President Trump: We should. He should do Kamala. That would be beautiful. But he’s a tough cookie, and he’s the chairman of, uh, Bloomberg. He’s a big guy. So all of a sudden, I’m being interviewed, and I wasn’t happy about it because I found out that he is—you know, his reputation precedes him. But I decided to do it. You know, you have a choice. Walk out and don’t do it and have a scandal, or go in and do it and hopefully win, or you go in and do it and get killed, which is probably the worst.
Patrick Bet-David: Right.
President Trump: But, uh, it was a great—it was a great interview, actually, and he was nasty, but he wasn’t overly nasty to me. I mean, other people thought he was. I thought nastier was David Muir, when he kept interrupting me during the debate and saying false things, like when I said crime is way up, and he said, “No, no, crime is down.” I said, “You’re wrong about that, crime is up.” And then two days later, it came out that crime is way up. I mean, to me, that was much nastier than, uh, this gentleman. But it was really a study of business. It was a detailed study of business.
