PATRICK BET-DAVID (HOST): Let me tell you this — don't move the tweet at all. Rob, don't move the tweet at all. Vinny, how many likes you think this tweet got? Likes and retweets? Give me likes and retweets. Likes, you know, you do a tweet, you get 500 likes, a thousand likes. How many likes did this tweet get, from Sesame Street? Their account has only 1.8 million followers. How many likes do you think this got?
VINCENT OSHANA (PANELIST): Twenty thousand.
BRANDON ACETO (PANELIST): Two thousand.
BET-DAVID: Two thousand. Tom, what do you say?
TOM ELLSWORTH (PANELIST): I'm probably saying higher than that, I'd be like 35,000.
BET-DAVID: Adam, where are you at?
ADAM SOSNICK (PANELIST): Very low, nobody is interested.
BET-DAVID: What do you say?
SOSNICK: Five hundred.
PATRICK BET-DAVID: You ready? Show it, Rob — 432,000 likes.
ELLSWORTH: Wow.
SOSNICK: What?
OSHANA: What is that saying?
BET-DAVID: Sixty-four thousand retweets.
ACETO: Virtue signaling
BET-DAVID: It's still a problem.
OSHANA: I still agree.
BET-DAVID: It's still a problem.
SOSNICK: I was way off.
BET-DAVID: It's still a problem.
ACETO: It should be like Big Pharma ads, though, the way that we — Big Pharma ads should be illegal. Like, it, it should be illegal to promote and push this stuff and, like, sort of talk about in a public promotional way because it's got an infectious nature to it if you because you, like, try to — they're trying to convince people that they're gay. That's why that number's going up.
OSHANA: And you know, the truth is too, and this is a fact that, I'm sorry, I'll give it right back to you. And this is a fact, mind you. Me and Adam, we don't have kids. Gay people can't have kids so they need your kids. They can't multiply, they can't have kids of their own. That's why Pete Buttigieg and them where they're freaking buying, adopting, whatever the hell you want to call it, which God knows what happens there, but this is the plan. And I'm shocked at that number, Pat, I thought it was going to be way lower.
BET-DAVID: The point is they have so much influence. That's 432,000 people that click like on it, 18,000 comments. So if you want to say it's fake, 18,000 comments, 22.3 million views, 64,000 retweets. Why would 432,000 people like this?
ACETO: Virtue signaling?
BET-DAVID: Because people are still out there that are supporting this.
OSHANA: One thousand percent.
BET-DAVID: To me, this is criminal. This is not even, you know, retard finder, whatever that Twitter account is. See that at the bottom?
...
BET-DAVID: There is influence, man. There's a lot of influence with this taking place, but this is absolutely criminal.
