The host of a popular podcast channel on YouTube offered five million dollars Wednesday to former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump for an interview.

Patrick Bet-David, the founder of the Valuetainment YouTube channel with more than three million followers, posted a video Wednesday from his newly-acquired ocean view property, titled, “I’m 100% Serious.”

In the video, he announced that he would offer two and a half million dollars each to Trump and Obama for a “long-form interview to discuss ideas with only one thing in mind: to help unify America.” Some know Bet-David for his interview with Kobe Bryant.

Bet-David said in the video that he believes both Trump and Obama love America and can represent the right and the left, respectively. He then compares the current situation of the U.S. to a couple exhibiting signs of divorce, and that America’s rival countries are watching and waiting for a potential great split of the U.S. He believes that it would be a powerful gesture for the world to see Trump and Obama coming together.

Bet-David explains his reasoning for the 5-million-dollar offer as “doing his part” to save this great nation, where his latest child, Brooklyn Ivy Bet-David, born two weeks ago, can have her “dreams become a reality” as her father’s did.

As a firm believer in the American Dream, Bet-David frequently shares his rags-to-riches story with the public. Born in Iran, he came to America at 10 years old. He joined the U.S. military at the age of 18 and became an entrepreneur in his 20s, launching PHP Agency Inc., a company involved in insurance, marketing, and distribution. According to multiple sources, his net worth is over 100 million dollars.

Bet-David also founded the media company Valuetainment, bearing the same name as his popular podcast channel on YouTube. The channel covers a wide range of topics, including business, leadership, and entrepreneurial content based on his own experience. It is most known for its discussions on hot-button political issues and interviews with celebrities, intelligence insiders, and industry experts.

Neither Trump nor Obama have responded to the offer. The video has garnered more than 120,000 views and over 19,000 likes at the time of this article’s publishing.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
