Patrick Bet-David - Why Does No One Trust The Media Anymore? (4K)
Patrick Bet-David is an entrepreneur, founder of Valuetainment, podcaster and author.
Given that the world is in chaos, we would usually turn to our institutions and news organisations to make sense of what's happening. But trust in these institutions is as an all time low, so what can we do about it?
Expect to learn why it’s actually important to have enemies, Patrick's thoughts on Ben Shapiro's new Snow White movie, what he thinks about Dana White's life philosophy, what it takes to actually impress people, why immigrants have such a strong work ethic, who actually runs the world, whether Tucker Carlson is going to break the internet and much more...

What is the key words you use on google to find locations like this for your podcasts?
Joe Biden and the hawks want WWIII. They aren’t trying to calm down the Middle East with cease fire conversation. God help US.
Why didn't you ask patrick about his pyramid scheme??
are you talking about the emails ive sent you both?
Winston Churchill said, “You have enemies? Good! It means you’ve stood up for something once in your life!”
If you have hate in your heart that means you are not taking the souls - David Goggins Your biggest enemy is always with you.
I seem to have a lot of people at my current job single me out, and I am only focused on doing my job responsibilities and be respectful towards other that are respectful to me, and still I have a lot of people try to make up lies and spread lies about me, (I’m not victimizing myself, I’m describing the aura that people are some type of way as long as a Co. is behind the ill behavior, and if the Co. is not then people say one thing on here but in real life you are not part of 1st principles type of conversation,
The man was a quote machine and reading his letters to his mum when he was at Boarding School tells a lot about how his attitude was formed, yet his adherence to action and the resilience he appeared to have empowered the citizens with during his years in office are the definition of integrity - even if another one of his great quotes is “I’ve gotten more out of Alcohol than it’s taken from me” ❤
He was copying Charles McKay's poem "You say you have no enemies..." check it out. The poem was written decades before Churchill.
@@wanderingdeer1114 very interesting
Chris, you’re knocking it out of the park recently with these guests. It’s not just the guests themselves, but your ability to connect with them and have such meaningful conversations that seem to bring out the best from both of you. Nobody can truly do you but you. Keep being yourself mate! Thanks for all the content!
The way PBD can recall different authors, entrepreneurs, and intellectualls is remarkable. Also, his superb ability to tell different stories to perfectly coincide with his points is fascinating. Chris is a incredible host. He asks questions at the best times and keeps me engaged every moment. There is a reason why this is my favorite podcast show. Whew, the amount of wisdom on this one!
Not really, he is missing a huge part of the story of Michael Jordan, changing the entire gist of his point.
U need to get out more 😂😂
Nooo, I think PBD picked the Host brain, PBD seems to be the interviewer & gets to the point w/his analysis & wit. Definitely keeps you interested w/his knowledge & insight. 👍🏽 Great job.
It’s called a script.
He's a grifter who ran a pyramid scheme, look it up. God y'all fall for conmen so easy when they have any basic speaking skills. Smarten up
Chris is spot on about not feeling the need to contribute to noise, and only to the signal on topics that he isn’t prepared or wanting to engage with. That is admirable. I wish more commentators would stay in their lane. We have WAY TOO MUCH NOISE.
Their ego won't let them! That's where Chris is different from Patrick.
Agreed
I'm happy to have a place to get away from the war woes for a while, if I'm honest.
I mean he literally keeps asking the same questions about men and women in dating where he will get the sameish answers or straight up just contradict himself from the last time he talked about it, and hes obviously doing it for views as well.
Sam harris and Eric weinstein commenting on the political crisis in gaza is an example of noise.
Can't believe I started this to watch for a short time and could never put it down and was sad when it was over. So powerful and well done!!!! Thank you gentlemen!!!
FYI, PBD has a podcast with guests representing many different perspectives. It’s one of my favorites 😊
Thanks, I watch him everyday@@Teal_Seal
PBD has this effect on people.

Pbd is one of my favourite communicators, if not my fav! The way he is able to answer to questions by using stories is a top skill many would like to learn!
What a fantastic interview. Thank you! I had the epiphany while working on the MTV Cribs Team. Traveling the country helping to produce shows in mansions while living in a studio apt in NYC at that time was getting to me at first. I went thru the feelings of feeling jealous, envious, what about me thoughts, and then I started to realize that I was rich/wealthy because I had friends and family that truly loved me and had "my back". Meanwhile I was meeting celebrities or very wealthy people who were not even sure who their real friends were. I started to see some dysfunction. I started to see the disconnection and some people putting an act for the cameras and then looking depressed once the cameras were off. Definitely an eye opening experience. Grateful
I taught THE PATSTA ( his right pals call him this) all he knows Patsa , hit me up fella ❤
I must be in the minority about viewing the success of others. I absolutely LOVE to see people succeed. Shows hard work paying off, and I love hard work.
Same.
What a time we live in, these conversations are life changing to those who choose to listen!
@@maxc9334 Na same, still woke up next to your mum.
I listened to it already today on Spotify. Watching it here again because of the insane video and to take notes 📝 Thank you both for your contribution to our generation. Pat is the Man, one of my favorite people ever. Would be an honor to meet him one day and say thank you in person and to shake his hand
Thats a very smart comment@maxc9334 1. ‘‘Demand from yourself what you demand from others‘‘ (i.e. nobody will respect you if you don't respect yourself ;) 2. Set standards and expectations for your family. (the most powerful and successful families have their own standards and they stay true to them, no matter what others think) 3. Take into consideration how much selfishness/selflessness the people around you have. Does it align with your standards? (for example, as a business owner you might want to work with people who are 50/50 selfish/selfless. A Leader might want to be at about 70/30)
Agreed 👍
What notes did you take? Just a book list or something else? Do you have a lot of notes from other podcasts?
im taking a bunch of notes all the time. Every time I learn something completely new I write it down, just to revisit it when I have time to think about the topic and understand it better.@@6feetunderpants
@@6feetunderpantstake notes bro
I listened to this over a 4/6hr work day, of course office interruptions. By the time I got to the end, I was a little sad and yearned for more - it was that phenomenal. Thank you for helping me make sense of how blessed I am with my parental combo. Great work gents.
As a videographer, your team is knocking it out of the park. Your podcasts are a staple in my life but as a pixel peeper I have to give credit where credit is due. Double down on this production quality and I could probably tell you that this channel would soar. Nobody is at this level. Well done as always. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What software do you recommend? I’m trying to improve my editing skills.
@@frankysalazar6857It doesn’t have to do with editing. It has to do with lighting, frame rates, color grading, and camera lens quality. The editing of an interview is pretty straightforward. Somebody like MrWhosTheBoss relies on editing. Chris is just a fantastic host with amazing guests and storytelling within his shows.
> Implying that it's not soaring already
@@tenlivesmediathe backdrop has a lot to do with it too
The way you curate your questions/topics to hit to bring out the best of each guest and hit and drag out their niche knowledge is admirable. I’ve watched hours of PBD and still learn something here.
So much wisdom in one episode.🙏🏼 Will rewatch, probably more than once. Tremendous gratitude to you both. 👏🏼
Hey Pat I’m an Assyrian in Melbourne Australia My family never went on govt help They just used their skills I’d love to work for you What a journey it has been We look up to you
Thanks for having PBD on! I’m a regular listener of his podcast and it was a real treat to see him as the interviewee 😊
PBD is a conman
Patrick is so sure of himself. He never says “I think”. It’s always “I know”. The wisest person leave some room for doubt!
Great interview, Chris. I've enjoyed seeing you progress as a awesome person. You've grown into an excellent interviewer as well and couldn't have picked a better man to speak with.
Here before 800 people leave a comment about how Chris is "knocking it out of the park with these guests lately"
Miserable people are bothered by strange things.
Selfless vs selfish reminds me of one of my grandmothers. I learned from her that in order to take care of others I need to be able to support myself first and do so consistently; then I can more freely give to others and support them. Otherwise you can get caught in a vicious cycle of helping others and then need to be bailed out when things go rough for you.
I’m an Independent Latino. Thank you Chris for inviting Patrick Bet-David, he is KING. 👑❤
Pat stole all my lines bruh 😢
Am I missing something here? Never heard of this guy, but he seems like he would be a good MLM salesman. Talks a lot, doesn't really say much. Gives the impression that he's about to give you no-bs talk, then proceeds to play semantic games to obfuscate his lack of actual info. Basically macho poetry for bros whose main hobby is self-help theory.
Chris. this is insane formal. I love this episode. GODDAMN. You two have insane chemistry. Ive consumed a lot of podcasts and you were my favorite for a while. I think you just solidified that status beyond the point of no return. Love it Much love from Germany
The quality of the production of this episode is amazing. I watched this episode on the TV at dinner time and I had the feeling Patrick was in front of me. The discussion was very good with many layers of complexity. Happy days! 🎉
Reminds me of an old saying I heard from my dad back in he day. 'Son, if you are to survive, you must be one of three things. Strong. Smart. Or Crazy. You'll go far.'
I’m only half way through and I’m already wishing this interview was longer, two of my favourite people at the table. Chris this is why I love your channel so much. KUDOS.
Probably one of my favourite podcast episodes of the show! 👏
half hour in to busy with coming tests. always love hearing Patrick Bet-David on podcasts, such a wellspoken and intelligent guy (you too Chris)!
So good! The underdog support that everyone has for the person that’s on the come up reminds people of their dreams and when your at the top everyone tries to tear you down because you remind them of what they gave up on.
Great podcast Chris! Been watching you for a while and you keep improving every time! Great questions and insights in this one, particularly in the dilemma of being successful and raising good kids.
Thanks again Chris for another amazing episode. Listened to this one on my run this morning, really enjoyed the knowledge Patrick shared. One day I’ll sit across from you! Keep up the great work 👊
Because of *pbd* ... First time viewer and a *new listener to this show* . Interesting questions asked and raised. Thank you. Mr p decker.
I had been wondering for the last several years - since maybe 2016-17ish - why I had such a lack of energy, motivation, interest, ambition, etc. I mean, I thought I was basically at the end of at least my own personal development if not even the end of my life to some extent - like the same minimal routine for the next X years or decades and then die - like I was just going to go to work, come home, watch KZhead and maybe play video games for a few hours, sleep and repeat - no hobbies, no friends, no adventure, no changes or growth, no extra effort beyond absolute minimum, etc. And I haven't always been like that - I was raised to be almost militantly against laziness and I always loved having hobbies and learning things, going on adventures, hanging out with people, etc. But I had a span of my life where I was an alcoholic and multi-drug addict - but when I finally managed to quit, that's when my energy, motivation, interest in literally anything, etc. all vanished and I probably slept around 20 hours a day for over a year. I had gotten to the point where I could stay awake most of the day and do most of what I needed to do but I would still start falling asleep if I wasn't moving - like driving or doing relatively stationary work. I had a sleep study scheduled all the way back in 2019 but something happened and I never went and then I just kind of forgot that was even a consideration. Well, a few weeks ago, I finally had a sleep study and found out I have sleep apnea - I'm a big dude but not huge and this only started right after quitting drugs, because I was always the most energetic person I knew and the last one asleep so I'm thinking the drugs and booze and quitting them was the cause - but I've been totally miserable for all of these years and my wife (who was the one who helped me quit drugs) even left me back in June for several reasons related to my low energy and motivation - all of this, and I could have fixed the problem and started participating in life again and probably would still have my wife and be in a much happier marriage now - I could have gotten better years ago.. So all of that to say, I've felt like a worthless, lazy bastard this entire time - especially when reading/watching anything related to bettering your life - business, fitness, adventure/recreation, etc. - and maybe I'll finally be getting back to normal. They're doing one last sleep study in a few days to calibrate/test/setup the CPAP on me. Every last person I've talked to who has gone through this has said the CPAP basically changed their lives... I've prepared myself though - I think the apnea is probably only part of it.. Being stuck in this mode all these years, I'm probably going to have to work on some habits/behaviors I developed in this time that are just in my head/mental that are controlled by my level of determination..
This interview is BALLER! I keep going back to it. My compliments to both the guest and the interviewer!
these production values - kudos to the whole crew !
4 at night in Holland, still listening.. inspiring boys! Thanks for the content
You have to have a line for your kids to follow. When I was growing up my day was get up At 5am and I was tutored on passing whatever national Exam I had to do. Then at 7 took a shower then breakfast, by 8 I was at school. After school my driver picks me up at 3pm I have another 1-2 hours of tutoring and homework. By the time I get home it’s 5pm. I can’t just toss my bag down and my uniform. I had to polish my shoes, shower and eat dinner. After dinner I had to wash the dishes even though I had a maid that could do it. No games on week days. If your grades fell / I messed up bad no games, tv or phone grounded can’t go out. In fact I had no tv for abt two years I watched local news for entertainment and at the time I hated it but I have discipline and that’s what a lot of youth lack.
Social media needs more people to comment on things that they are experts at. Not opinion based on feelings.
I realize you can still learn things from unethical people, but any video of PBD needs to come with a massive disclaimer about his wealth and success coming from a predatory MLM scheme. For years now he’s been trying to distance himself from this past by reputation-laundering through his podcasts and appearances exactly like this.
The guy is use to having enemies bc he ran a sleazy MLM life insurance scheme where 95% of the licensed sales agents make less than a minimum wage worker making $7.25hr! He sold people on the idea they could easily make six figures selling life insurance when he knew full well only the top 1% actually make decent money! But he didn't care bc he charged each one $200 to get licensed.
you can see the marketer in him quite clearly, as i'm 20 minutes in and he's dropped the name of the book 30 times lmao. that said, i do enjoy his podcast.
One of my favorite conversations of all time ! Love this !
"Everyone is your enemy. Everyone is your friend. Every series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you. Everything that happens will be something that you've seen before." Little Finger.
An enemy is a good whetstone. Played baseball as a kid and my town had 2 teams (12 in the league). I hated one of the kids on the other team. We played the same position and were both picked for all-stars every year and competed for that position. We both got really good. By HS we were by far the best players on the team and then he moved and I quit getting better. Actually quit playing halfway through senior year after 13 years of baseball. We even competed for grades in school. Always in the same stupid classes and was always #1 and 2. GPA dropped right after. It's like I needed a reason to try and future rewards were not enough.
That is the problem with extrinsic performance based goals instead of intrinsic mastery based, they are not sustainable.
What I like when I'm watching and listening to this kind of conversation are the title of the books mentioned and what the books about. It is not that they are making recommendations, but their talking about the reason why that book is interesting and the lesson you can get out of it. Just sharing pure wisdom and knowledge.
Much love and respect for both of you gentleman.
PBD is a stud. Truly inspiring and very likable. The PBD podcast is among the top 5 in the world IMO.
Highly engaging interview from start to finish. Love seeing two podcasters I follow link up to create something special.
When I listen to Chris Williamson, I am reminded of all the single children who have the same insecurities and fears of losing favor in the eyes of others. He’s also a product of his generation, who needs to step outside of his comfort zone and take a risk and have an opinion. He deflects lamely, on the events of 10/6 and it’s not admirable … PBD did an excellent job of not calling out his lack of opinion, while subtly calling it out. Age and experience is evident; I hope Chris can grow into his shoes as he’s one of the important voices of the day.
Ive listened to alot of wisdom that came from pat he is pro at all levels good cast.
I admire the direct & unpretentious manner that these two men hammer on issues & ideas. It inspires confidence to keep cultivating courage & purpose.
I seriously just wish this was longer! Thank you guys
Words of wisdom!!! Enjoy every minute of this conversation!!
Well done Chris, you have pulled off some great podcasts recently!
Wow this was really one of the best podcast and interviews I’ve heard in a while. Kudos to the both of you.
I'm glad that you redirected the audience to this interview. Especially the parts right around 15 minutes. Gotta go to work... hope I find it again.
That opening was fire 🔥 I feel the same, competition drives me, the hate is fuel 🇺🇸
This episode needs a book list for all the books mentioned please and thank you
Your videos are saving lives and improving our mortal experience. Your channel is priceless, inspiring and full of rare competence.
Really enjoy hearing Chris speak/interview especially with PBD probably my favorite speaker of all time
"Just because something is hard to obtain doesn't make it valuable." "One of the benefits of an incarnation in the west is that you will learn money cannot bring you happiness. True happiness comes from making others happy." - Meher Baba 💖🙏💫
@@BropillerHappiness is just a temporary dopamine spikes. Fulfillment is what most people want but fail to identify it as a value. The way we choose to live determines the quality of our life. Every decision or indecision and behavior we engage in creates the grand painting of our life. Those who recognize this can excel beyond their wildest expectations. Those who let external influences dictate their thoughts and behaviors lead unfulfilled experiences. The happiness mantra is just a trap. To lead a great live have to begin from within.
Train from Kings Cross to York. Didn’t expect to watch all of this. Unputdownable!
Thank you Chris, the world needed you .
I’ve been waiting all week for this one.
Patrick is the man! He gets better by helping us become better.
You only have to delve into his multi layer marketing businesses to understand he’s probably ripped more people off in this world than helped anyone
Yeah MLMs are awesome.. 🤣
@@mightymoeishare you a bot or is Patrick paying you to funnel more people to his courses 😂
Yeah, he's helping people, that grifter 😂
Patrick ran a sleazy MLM life insurance scheme where 95% of the licensed sales agents make less than a minimum wage worker making $7.25hr while he got rich leeching off them!
Chris this production looks breathtaking, what an amazing conversation
Regarding the "Palestine/Israel opinion thing": I think it was Buffet who said something along the lines of "You don't need to have an opinion on everything." A very liberating stance to take.
i used to love Patrick some of the best pod cast i have seen but all i here from him is how much money everybody has as this is the one and only thing that in his mind is what success is human greed creates enemies i choose not to have enemies made lots of money only to lose it all couldnt be happier ya cant take it with you
Such a great podcast . Both extremely interesting and new insights they bring to the table
Chris & Patrick - one of the BEST interviews ever!!!
Some of think there are already too many people talking about subjects they’re not experts in, and appreciate the restraint from making “more noise”. Keep up the good work.
16:28 I’m really blown away at the sort of conversation they are having. I need to check this book out the ‘enemies’ one.
Chris FWIW there are many of us who like the fact that you don’t weigh in on the political topic du jour. Your instincts are on point, that’s not what we’re here for.
Love the respect to let one another talk.
PBD so awesome. Great episode, been hyped for this one.
Great episode. Love Pat and his way of communicating
Had been waiting for a podcast with Patrick for a very long time, thank you very much for another podcast masterpiece
Two of my favorites. Great podcast.
You’re not obligated to comment on diddly squat because of your platform size. Last I checked, this is still a free country. Keep doing what you’re doing Chris!
What I got out of this was you got to love yourself and the best life is living YOUR values, not others. God bless all of you, brothers and sisters!
Where does this man find these sets? They're always so gorgeous.
This was such a good episode! God damn I couldn't stop listening to it
I’ve been looking forward to you two meeting up for a long time (couple months).
There are not many podcasts that I watch or interested in. I have a great respect for PBD is a man as a leader and great thinker I do really admire his character. I enjoy watching different podcasts with the same person because they reveal different sides of them based on the interviewer. One of my favourite quotes by Jim Kwik is “ If You Ask A Question That No One Ever Asked You Will Get An Answer That No One Ever Got” this is one of the reasons why I also respect Chris because he’s also asking interesting questions and bringing on interesting people. Great Interview Bravo 👏🏼 for both of you.
You really built this one up. I saw a few 10 minute clips, I've been searching for this episode for the past week and a half😂 like Wtf... Well worth the wait. Thank you brotha
I’m a fan of you both. As well as others who encourage personal and community responsibility . This was one of the best podcasts I have ever engaged with. Thanks for the conversation you two!
PBD is so well prepared and dedicated and focused. His energy emanates
Excellent interviewer. Excellent guest. 2.5 hours, never lost my attention. Top notch quality.
Interesting thing with the rise in Podcasts and the distrust of BIG MEDIA: during the 30's the average person read like eight newspapers a day - if you had an opinion; you started a newspaper (everyone had an opinion to express), then we had the rise of Network TV in the 60's - we had only three major networks that feed us OUR opinions. Along comes the 90's and the proliferation of the internet and websites = gave us more choices to hear opinions again/started to give us choices and NOW with podcasts - Gen Z and the like have a multitude of opinions to hear/that are presented = kind of like the 30's again! Mmmm.....have we come full circle? And where are we headed with all of this?
Chris is on the up and up. Well done. Hard work pays off. Your focus is on the right things. 📈
I love this!! It spoke to my spirit!! Let's get it done!!!
Damn, i really loved this video. Very informative and thought provoking. High quality stuff, my guys....great job!
Patrick is the only person I've heard that takes 5 minutes to say something that could've taken 1 sentence.
So you've never heard of Jordan Peterson? He makes PBD look succinct.
Flipping loved this... Thank you for delivering such refreshing content ... and opinions!
Chris, you are simply one of the best interviewers. Thank you for the content.
amazing video, a lot of topics where i can't do anything but vehemently aggree, a couple where i am sceptic but every perspective/argument was very interesting
Two of my favorites!
Your interview has helped motivate me to do more in my life
This was an awesome conversation! You had a great way of pulling great wisdom from PBD. Note your link to fountainlife is broken.
@Patrick bet-david : Love is a choice. When the feelings fade, and emotions reverse so one doesn't even like the other person, love, then, becomes a choice.
