The Great America Show - Cardone to the rescue! Is it too late for California to get its act together？

00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us tonight thanks

00:00:11.400 so much for being with us we begin tonight with some troubling news it's been over a month since

00:00:16.420 attorney general pam bonnie promised us that the epstein files were coming she told us they were

00:00:21.780 on her desk she then proceeded the next week to release files now there were files that we're all

00:00:28.440 expecting were going to be the ones that were promised who was involved in what where it

00:00:33.540 happened all that good stuff turns out it was things that had already been released in years prior

00:00:39.420 rolodexes flight logs things of that nature so nothing we hadn't already seen pam bondy saying

00:00:47.180 she was fooled i guess by the fbi but she should have known better that 300 documents were not the

00:00:52.540 full scope of the epstein files it's more like 30 000 documents so once finding out that she didn't

00:01:00.060 get all the documents pam bondy said that truckloads of the documents were on the way to dc from the new

00:01:06.280 york fbi field office this is also over a month ago so why is that we still don't have those documents

00:01:13.340 a month later what's taking her so long what is there to redact and who is there to protect

00:01:18.200 the reason i bring this up is virginia dufray who was one of the most prominent victims of

00:01:22.580 jeffrey epstein's notorious sex trafficking ring announcing today that she may have just days to

00:01:29.240 live in a social media post a dufray says quote i've gone into kidney renal failure they've given

00:01:35.780 me four days to live transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology i'm ready to go just not until i see

00:01:41.620 my babies one last time but you know what they say about wishes so what happened to dufray well

00:01:48.060 dufray was in a car accident and was hit by a bus so now we have jeffrey epstein the billionaire

00:01:55.000 financier financier who apparently hung himself with the cameras off and we have the number one

00:02:02.600 most prominent accuser of epstein who's telling us she has just four days to live

00:02:08.180 and we have pam bondy who has still not released the epstein documents

00:02:12.620 let's just think about that over the weekend elon musk was in wisconsin uh and he was there

00:02:20.360 to support the republican candidate for the wisconsin supreme court uh brad schimel and he did sort of

00:02:28.040 like a town hall type uh interview with the people there the people there on the ground uh he was asked

00:02:34.640 a question about corrupt politicians about his doge committee and what they're doing to maybe look at

00:02:40.400 people like nancy pelosi to maybe look at people like maxine waters these people who have made

00:02:45.940 millions of dollars in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars while making only 174 thousand

00:02:51.940 dollars a year as a member of congress take a listen to what musk had to say

00:02:55.700 uh a lot of strangely wealthy members of congress um where i'm i just can't i'm trying to connect the

00:03:05.900 dots of how do they become rich while earning how do they get 20 million if they're earning 200 000 a

00:03:12.660 year it sounds that's how do i just nobody can explain that so so so something's yeah we we're going to

00:03:22.200 try to figure it out and um and and certainly stop it from happening um so

00:03:29.280 this so if you're wondering why the democrats are so terrified of elon musk

00:03:39.920 uh you might want to go look at nancy pelosi's stock portfolio and what they're up to uh there and how

00:03:46.820 she's making all of her money also over the weekend secretary of the interior doug burkham was on fox

00:03:51.360 news with lara trump and he was asked about the possibility of donald j trump getting put on

00:03:58.680 mount rushmore now take a listen to his response it might have the marxist dems running for the hills

00:04:05.840 no pun intended area is in charge of the national park service the national park service is in charge

00:04:11.940 of mount rushmore a lot of people wonder will we ever see president trump's face on mount rushmore

00:04:18.740 what do you think well they certainly have room for it there they just signed the order uh last week

00:04:23.740 on july 3rd 2026 uh we're gonna have fireworks at mount rushmore uh and we've got a lot of amazing

00:04:31.160 uh usa 250 events uh planned uh from across the uh across the country huh i wouldn't mind seeing that

00:04:38.480 uh with everything donald trump has went through he certainly deserves it uh looking over in france a few

00:04:44.560 thousand miles uh to the east or to the west depending on what side of the coast you're on

00:04:49.420 uh mary leprin she was the opponent to emmanuel macron being sentenced today to years in jail

00:04:57.940 for quote embezzlement of funds eu funds and being barred from running in the next election

00:05:04.540 in france where she's the front runner against macron sounds awfully like america doesn't it folks

00:05:12.680 america leads the way for a lot of people a lot of innovators a lot of ingenuity but never did i

00:05:20.260 think we would be doing things like that and leading the way for political corruption truly truly sad

00:05:25.880 the white house now taking control taking back control i should say of the white house briefing

00:05:30.620 room uh previously uh signs were seats were assigned in the briefing room uh by the white house

00:05:37.180 correspondence association a marxist run organization trump hating american hating folks in there uh the

00:05:44.280 white house announcing this week that they're now going to change the seat assignments of some of these

00:05:48.860 folks uh caitlin collins cnn front row seat it's probably going to be gone uh sometime soon folks

00:05:56.300 looking down at the southern border we're seeing something now i didn't think we would have ever seen

00:06:00.420 in our lifetimes for years we've reported to you all that drug mules and coyotes were running

00:06:07.680 migrants illegals from the southern border of mexico into america we're now getting reports

00:06:14.920 that the operation has completely flip-flopped coyotes are now reportedly running migrants from america

00:06:22.740 back to mexico to avoid being caught by president donald trump uh by tom holman and and and his

00:06:30.300 crew of people doing the roundups and deportations never in my lifetime did we i ever imagine did we

00:06:37.580 probably ever imagine that we'd be seeing coyotes working on our side of the border to send people

00:06:42.680 back to mexico or whatever respective country they'll be going back to the trump administration promises

00:06:49.780 made promises kept folks there's a state that's in a lot of trouble in our nation it's not new york

00:06:57.720 although that's one of them it's california our guest today is grant cardone uh he's the ceo of

00:07:05.080 cardone capital a very brilliant man uh he lives the american dream a man who came from nothing has built

00:07:11.840 a massive fortune a multi-billion dollar fortune um through hard work sweat and tears and he's looking

00:07:19.940 at maybe running for governor of california interesting huh why would anyone want to go to california

00:07:26.340 and run for office cardone left california many years ago because it was simply unsustainable to

00:07:31.560 live taxes were too high uh regulation was too high and the state made it impossible to run a business

00:07:39.820 to make a living to make money so cardone packed up and he went east to florida where he's been living

00:07:46.520 but now he's taking a look at maybe going back to california and seeing how he could fix that

00:07:52.600 beautiful state i say this all the time it's the most beautiful state in this country

00:07:57.060 it's just completely mismanaged so as i said grant cardone is our guest today ceo of cardone capital

00:08:04.380 10x california.com grant thanks so much for joining us today on the great american show i really appreciate

00:08:10.180 it uh you're someone i've looked up to for a very long time i think you resonate with a lot of people

00:08:14.820 who don't you know what course to take you're a motivational person you run a few billion dollar

00:08:21.460 uh firm you own a crap ton of real estate you are the american dream grant uh you left california

00:08:28.340 a few years ago because you couldn't deal with the tyranny anymore and you went to the free state

00:08:31.720 of florida but now you find yourself grant back in california wanting to help the same people that

00:08:38.320 you just couldn't deal with anymore because they've destroyed that state uh what are you up to right now

00:08:43.600 yeah so 13 years ago i let thanks for having me on your show by the way uh i love what you're doing

00:08:48.840 um to wake people up about what's really happening um i'm here in california i lived here 25 years

00:08:55.820 left 13 years ago because literally it wasn't the tyranny it was we couldn't two things i couldn't

00:09:01.900 afford to grow my business here and we were a small company at the time um and the taxes they they

00:09:10.960 increased the taxes from 10 to 13 percent that was a 33 percent increase for those of you don't know

00:09:16.740 math 10 to 13 is not three points it's 33 percent and i was already the state of california wasn't

00:09:24.700 doing anything to benefit my business most of my business actually was out of state it wasn't even

00:09:29.960 in california so if i did business in south carolina or bought a real piece of real estate in florida

00:09:35.140 the state of california was taxing me 13 percent to manage a piece of real estate in florida and the

00:09:41.240 state of california had nothing to do with it so i was one of the first people to leave here

00:09:45.420 uh i made a big deal about it and said hey guys you're you're taxing me to where i can't afford

00:09:50.140 to be here that was the first thing yeah the second part was um some of the craziness that they were

00:09:56.940 starting to spend money on again this was 13 years ago this is not some of the things you and i were

00:10:01.700 talking about before the show which is i don't know 38 billion dollars on uh broadband 40 billion on

00:10:09.800 the rail nothing's been done on the rail uh the rail is going to go from bakersfield to

00:10:16.980 someplace nobody wants to go so it's insane bro like it's insane like i wouldn't mind paying taxes

00:10:23.680 i left a zero tax state texas to move to california because there's beauty it's resources the people

00:10:30.500 the place is phenomenal i mean probably the greatest resources we have in this country come from the

00:10:37.540 state of california 99 of our produce comes from there it's a phenomenal place right um technology

00:10:44.280 comes out of here there's three companies that have 12 trillion dollars worth of market cap yet

00:10:50.100 they can't figure out how to prevent fires yeah and i know a lot of people here a lot of people here

00:10:59.180 just believe well that's just the way it is there's fires there's been fires for 100 years here

00:11:04.020 there's been 1500 fires about um 750 a year um actually the number 7500 fires a year there's been

00:11:13.260 75 000 fires in the last 100 years and not one golf course has ever been burnt because they irrigate

00:11:21.940 the golf courses so irrigate the forest man we have the water we have the technology we have the genius

00:11:26.800 what we don't have is the priority it's almost like they are using regulations and fires and uh the

00:11:34.860 environment to to basically steal the state from the people yeah you know grant you know what i realized

00:11:41.700 you got through a lot of trouble in california i was in vegas maybe six months ago sitting at a blackjack

00:11:46.160 table talking to two people from california and i always try to gauge politics without asking straight

00:11:51.140 up just so i know how far i can go left and right so we start getting to it and my buddy cracks a joke

00:11:56.460 about gavin newsom they didn't think it was funny and this was the time at the wildfires

00:11:59.560 and we start talking and uh you know my buddy makes a joke and says well if they didn't give

00:12:04.380 that money to ukraine they could have got you guys water in california and this woman goes berserk

00:12:09.140 it has nothing to do with that that we could have given the money to ukraine and got the water

00:12:14.200 you don't understand how gravity works gravity flows down not up and i sit there and i hadn't said a

00:12:19.220 word at this point grant and i simply said to her do you believe we could have put a man on the moon

00:12:23.140 56 years ago do you believe that elon musk sends rockets up to space like he's eating candy and

00:12:28.580 you're telling me we don't understand how to run a damn pump from the bottom of the canyon up to the

00:12:33.660 top of the canyon to get you water no it's because they don't want to grant if there's if there's

00:12:38.240 problems and the problems are fixed what can they run on fixing yeah look it's crazy to to think that

00:12:44.500 this could be the biggest land grab in american history so they're making it unaffordable

00:12:50.500 for people to buy a house to get a mortgage on a house unaffordable to insure the house

00:12:57.520 it takes five to seven years karen bass said it's going to take five to seven years to rebuild these

00:13:02.740 homes who has that even if you have the money most people do not have seven years if you're 40 years

00:13:08.040 if you're 40 years old do you really want to move in when you're 47 your whole life changed a family

00:13:13.520 changed the kids grew up it is almost as though they are literally using regulations and the

00:13:20.560 environment and taxes and just more regulations again to to prevent you and i from actually having

00:13:26.960 the california dream yeah and i think we'll probably see some eminent domain in there well you can't build

00:13:32.020 here again because we need it to do this or we need it to do that it's mind-blowing to me grant we look

00:13:36.780 at this thing it's the state that has the most water in the country yet they haven't figured out a way

00:13:41.760 to pump the water from the oat i mean there's so many different ways you could have gotten the water

00:13:45.220 but they don't want to because it's just mismanagement after mismanagement after mismanagement

00:13:50.080 and grant you run it i wonder i wonder if it's mismanagement or is it intentional

00:13:54.440 okay like why why do you what his number one newsom's number one priority was homelessness

00:14:00.140 okay uh guess what he is the number one most homeless state in the country so when you get your

00:14:06.260 when your priorities are right you can actually achieve what you're trying to achieve but

00:14:09.620 it's almost as though the priorities like if you wanted to irrigate every square inch of forestry

00:14:16.080 in california we have the technology and we have the money to do that and that would save us probably

00:14:22.900 20 billion dollars a year in fire prevention and you know what grant donald trump proposed it he said to

00:14:28.880 them i want to and the crazy thing about donald trump is you would think with how much they put him

00:14:32.840 through which we're going to get to that he would just say the hell with california the hell with new york

00:14:37.240 the hell with jersey the hell with all of these people who tried to get me killed number one and

00:14:41.220 tried to throw me in jail he still sits there and says i want to help you guys yeah when we look at

00:14:46.120 california he's mentioned wildlife uh fire prevention they laughed they scoffed at it we saw this this fire

00:14:52.200 that just happened recently um why would donald trump even want to go ahead and waste his time

00:14:57.140 helping people who don't care to even help themselves well number one like california is a massive state

00:15:04.480 man you got you got 10 of the gdp running through this state you don't want it to roll over you're

00:15:10.560 running you're the president of the united states you want to save the state of california this is not

00:15:14.340 this is a major significant event this this just the fires could be 250 billion dollars

00:15:20.680 oh my god maybe maybe it could go to 500 billion and be as big as the tarp bailout

00:15:25.220 like you could literally bankrupt the entire country if the state of california rolls over

00:15:30.300 you know it's insane man like 400 billion dollars in uh comes through that registry the gdp is almost

00:15:40.480 four trillion and you got 40 million people that live here most of the produce comes out of here

00:15:48.960 this thing rolls over you got a problem now if you could flip this state i mean this is my goal for

00:15:55.600 being here one is to tell people what they can do in their economy i have three rallies tomorrow one

00:16:00.800 tonight uh we're we're uh celebrating the firemen that that saved my house in malibu um and tomorrow

00:16:08.480 i'm doing three rallies here to talk to people about what they can do to fix their economy this needs to be

00:16:13.080 a citizen grassroots effort this cannot the people in california cannot depend on the extremists the

00:16:19.860 pelosis and the newsoms this is by the way democrats have not ruined this state it's the extremists

00:16:25.480 yeah that have ruined the state of california so i've got to ask you i mean you're sitting here

00:16:30.480 you're spending your own money grant uh now going back to the housing thing you're a man who's got

00:16:35.500 billions of dollars worth of properties and you did it the hard-earned way the american dream

00:16:39.160 but there's people grant who don't have a hundred thousand dollars in the bank account we're looking at

00:16:44.240 as you said millions of dollars worth of repairs millions of dollars worth of fixes your average

00:16:49.500 property tax is probably in the neighborhood of 40 to 50 000 a year somewhere up in that range i mean

00:16:56.960 how does the average person ever get out of this hole a guy who's 70 years old a guy who's 80 years

00:17:01.280 old who's living off of social security who has left the house who's now maybe asked out because the

00:17:06.380 insurance companies dropped them yeah you got it you got a number of problems property tax is the least of

00:17:12.400 the problems i was just i'm in beverly hills right now and i'd stand in a hotel uh while i'm here to

00:17:18.200 do these rallies and 1600 square feet house here is 1.7 million dollars number one problem they don't

00:17:27.860 build houses here yeah when gavin newsom was letting you know saying he's going to handle the homeless

00:17:33.800 problem he was short three million homes when he started this in 2005 he's still short three and a half

00:17:41.620 million homes they built almost nothing and they let illegals come in that by the way illegals don't

00:17:48.020 come with homes so you have a three and a half million home shortage you have regulations that takes five

00:17:55.260 to seven years the solution is this get the code pass an emergency invoke your emergency uh rights as a

00:18:04.200 governor as a mayor trump said said he president trump said they should do this invoke your emergency acts

00:18:10.780 they have tremendous power remove all regulations do a one-stop approval give me the four conditions

00:18:18.860 i need to rebuild my house or to build a home stamp me i don't even want to talk to a human being go to

00:18:24.540 a kiosk we have the technology stamp me approve me and let me go four homes have been permitted

00:18:31.100 and it's been almost 90 days since the fires so you got to get the regulations out of the way you have to

00:18:36.300 have your priorities right you have to have a build build build campaign which is we're going to build

00:18:40.980 three three to four million homes and we can build those in 18 months but he's got to remove the

00:18:46.860 regulations he's got to provide incentives for builders and he's got to prioritize homeowners not

00:18:52.300 homeless yeah you're absolutely right i want to take a quick break here grant when we return i want to get

00:22:48.560 what we have housing that's available that means we got to increase supply we got to have people

00:22:54.640 coming back into the state not leaving the state you got to have affordable housing increase supply

00:23:00.200 and you you probably need to reduce taxes you're competing with other states now arizona texas florida

00:23:07.160 if california is a product you have to be competitive they have the best weather the best

00:23:12.620 food the best food supply the one of the best locations in the world they're like people people

00:23:18.280 have been coming here since the 1800s because and staying here because it's so phenomenal yeah i go

00:23:23.780 grant and i don't want to come i live in new york born and raised in new york i went down to florida for

00:23:27.440 college and i sit here back and forth and i'm like i kind of want to go back to florida i can't

00:23:31.340 i sit here grant and i lose half of my paycheck i tell my father who's a lifelong new yorker what are you

00:23:37.840 doing a wall street guy you gave away 60 of your paycheck between your income tax and your property

00:23:43.300 tax and they make it so that you have to stay because the businesses are here but i think

00:23:47.280 businesses are starting to smarten up going back to california the income tax rate i think it's

00:23:51.520 13 and uh 13 percent just over 13 well it's 14.4 if you earn what i do and if you have a house over

00:23:57.600 five five million dollars you're going to pay another point property taxes they said they would

00:24:01.700 never ever change the property taxes and they did and they approved it yeah so at some point you

00:24:06.840 know the people in california are complicit this is what i was saying to you about the diddy party

00:24:10.700 you got invited to the audience about that one you got invited to a diddy party you didn't know what

00:24:15.820 you were going to no problem but when you go back that's a problem when you go back over and over and

00:24:21.720 over again you're complicit at the crime and the people in california have been acting like

00:24:27.240 and this is what you hear here oh look at the weather this is what we pay for god created the state

00:24:33.360 of california yeah not politicians okay if you had a zero percent tax in california zero percent income

00:24:42.780 tax and you would still have what god gave us in this state okay like you're not paying for it you're

00:24:50.100 being charged for them to steal and funnel money okay you cannot raise four hundred billion dollars in

00:24:58.480 revenue yeah and still have a negative yeah how long have they run a deficit for in california

00:25:04.760 well i think he started when he started in office he was probably a hundred billion up

00:25:09.980 and now he's negative how many more money oh my good so going back to that so you're 14 and a half percent

00:25:17.500 what people don't realize grant is you can go in some cases an hour and a half to the east and you can

00:25:23.240 be in nevada where it's zero you can go in some cases an hour and a half to the south where it's

00:25:28.660 just over two percent in arizona you can go a few hours to right where you went in texas these people

00:25:33.800 grant have managed to do what is the impossible you've got two of the largest corporations in this

00:25:38.700 country the largest apple and uh tesla or uh tesla facebook meta google move i mean there he's went

00:25:48.220 down to texas part of it down to texas apple's building another facility down in texas elon musk

00:25:53.020 has pulled out and moved to texas these people have done grant what it's like impossible to believe

00:25:57.960 that they've managed to screw up an empty lot if they at a worst grant just didn't touch a damn thing

00:26:03.480 i think everything would probably be better than it is right now your thoughts look toyota left uh

00:26:11.500 2005 maybe 2004 they'd been here 50 years that was when the writing was on the wall for me they

00:26:19.240 left quietly by the way no headlines and now here we fast forward look at all the people that left

00:26:25.100 dude it's cost this state a billion dollars just because i left and i'm just a small small business

00:26:31.780 owner like i don't i don't do business with wall street i don't i'm not connected i have no sponsors

00:26:37.620 i am as you said the american dream just grind and work and push and shove and sacrifice

00:26:43.240 and you know i'm not asking for a pat on the back i've been very lucky very fortunate

00:26:48.020 um but it's not like i'm connected i'm not a connected guy i am i am part and why i think i can

00:26:55.680 do this here is i am very connected to regular people uh regular small and large uh small and

00:27:03.520 medium-sized businesses i'm not a corporate guy um i don't even do business i've never taken a penny

00:27:09.820 from the government like for for any programs um and i'm look i'm the american dream bro i know it can

00:27:17.380 happen i know anybody can do it and i know california can be turned around this this this beautiful state

00:27:23.900 can be fixed with with as long as the people demand a fix so that's actually what i want to turn to

00:27:32.160 next because this i think can pique your interest a little bit if you haven't already seen it right

00:27:36.240 here we've got a map grant of the 2024 election in comparison to the 2020 election you can see here

00:27:43.680 every single county grant every single county throughout the entire state moved further right

00:27:51.140 in this past election uh going over here looking at san benito monterey uh let's go to la la 11 points

00:27:59.120 grant to the right i think donald trump carried beverly hills which is like where you're sitting

00:28:03.460 right now for people who aren't from california i mean that's the leftist of the left of the left

00:28:08.800 left left like it doesn't get much left than that uh the people are waking up or traditionally i you

00:28:14.520 know i come on here and i'd say the people don't want change they don't want to wake up but you look

00:28:18.400 at this map grant and everything has moved further to the right than it was in 2020 which means the

00:28:24.300 people are thirsty for a change which means gavin newsom's got to go kamala harris can't come in

00:28:28.820 uh it means that karen bass has to go all these rogue woke prosecutors have got to go because we

00:28:35.320 can't sustain it i want to go into something a little bit different uh not a little bit different

00:28:39.880 on the same topic the young voter which i told you before i think you resonate with amazingly the more

00:28:44.900 people i ask younger do you know grant cardone that they say yes the older folks say yeah i've heard

00:28:49.660 of them you resonate with a group of people grant who is the future of america yeah to 29 base i've

00:28:56.260 got some numbers for you and i want to get your reaction on it from edison exit polling they do all

00:29:00.100 the exit polling for the elections in 2020 uh the voter turnout was 17 for 18 to 29 which went to 24

00:29:07.420 biden wow fast forward to 2024 grant 14 so it dropped off three percent there harris plus 11 i'm not

00:29:15.440 going to try to do math publicly on air biden plus 24 in 2020 harris plus 11 this last election i think

00:29:22.940 people are waking up your thoughts i think the fires the fires really made people aware hey something's

00:29:29.920 very very wrong here you know look there's a lot of money here there's a lot of wealth here so when

00:29:35.680 the produce prices go up okay whatever this is what we pay for when the taxes go okay whatever i love it

00:29:41.520 but the truth is see what really happens is the wealthy i'm not talking about the bellman

00:29:46.660 downstairs okay downstairs he's like i can't leave grant i got a house i paid 70 grand for

00:29:51.780 oh my goodness it's worth 500 000 today i can't leave california it'll cost him more to leave right

00:29:58.760 and the wealthy are like okay i'll just keep my house here i'll register in florida i'll register in

00:30:06.660 arizona or you know utah or nevada i'll pay i'll pay no taxes on my income and i'll go back and visit

00:30:13.940 california for six months and use the resources for free new york's doing it down to florida and and

00:30:20.360 this is just a broken system like it's just numbers man it's numbers when you reward people to leave

00:30:26.280 they're gonna leave when you penalize them to stay they're not gonna stay so uh on the 29 18 to 29 voter

00:30:34.360 look you gotta people have to start talking to the younger voters and they're not on tv

00:30:40.820 okay and they they know when it's authentic and they want transparency they don't want politicians

00:30:48.300 to be perfect they want politicians to tell them the truth yep unfortunately both the republican and

00:30:55.580 the democratic party none of them understand social media they think because they have an instagram channel

00:31:00.880 now or they're going to do a podcast like newsom they understand it they don't understand it

00:31:04.720 yeah and neither party can prepare their politician the guy they're going to run to understand social

00:31:12.080 media tiktok instagram facebook do you it takes time i built a 20 20 million person audience providing

00:31:21.020 free economic content for free okay some tiny percentage of that does business with me but most of it never

00:31:29.200 ever gives me a penny and i've been serving that public for 13 years now uh and and a lot of it's

00:31:34.880 under 40 years old oh my goodness no you're absolutely right and this podcast we do it's embarrassing to

00:31:40.620 see we get better numbers on this podcast than gavin newsom great we get better numbers than michelle

00:31:45.320 obama the former first lady this is the republicans uh race to screw up across the damn border we're

00:31:51.980 going to take one more quick break here we come back i want to talk about that how this is the

00:31:56.400 republicans race to lose 2026 2028 it's for the republicans to lose the democrats have given us

00:33:17.260 you know it's the thing that we all strive to be it's the thing that we all uh you know put out to do

00:33:21.940 some of us are lucky enough to make it some are not uh you know that's just how america works but

00:33:26.680 uh the decks aren't stacked grant came from nothing he built everything uh you know america

00:33:32.780 gives everybody an equal opportunity uh grant i want to turn to now the national picture and where

00:33:38.000 we're at right now donald trump tariffs on mexico tariffs on canada it's giving the economy a little

00:33:44.160 bit of its run for its money but i love that uh he's also got this doge committee where they want to

00:33:50.420 cut out a trillion dollars you understand this they want to cut a trillion dollars out of the gdp now

00:33:54.820 what people don't understand is it's not just the tariffs that are driving the markets a little bit

00:33:58.840 lower when you're cutting a trillion dollars of spending grant out of a gdp it's going to have

00:34:04.740 the effect because wall street wants money spent spent spent spent and these dudes on wall street

00:34:09.120 grant are criminals it's time for the blue collar worker the hard average working american to make

00:34:14.360 money and wall street to sit down they've made enough money on the backs of the american people on

00:34:19.080 the backs of the 401ks and the pension plans for the last hundred years they could sit down for a few

00:34:24.800 months for a year while donald trump figures out how to get companies to come back to america

00:34:29.060 to employ americans sorry for the rant but your thoughts yeah no uh look i mean wall street

00:34:36.760 just responds to uncertainty they don't like uncertainty so this market volatility that we're

00:34:43.720 experiencing right now is not you know this is a temporary thing everybody needs to calm down

00:34:50.600 everything's fine when you cut a trillion dollars out of the government spending it's all fraud yep

00:34:57.640 it's not actually that trillion dollars wall street guys those guys have never run a business by the way

00:35:05.780 they just invest people's money that money is not getting into the marketplace those are not goods and

00:35:11.180 products and services it's fucking fraud okay it's it's crimes you're going to end up with a trillion

00:35:17.320 dollars in the economy this shouldn't have gone to other countries you got social security fraud

00:35:22.740 this being committed in south america that's not benefiting anybody in america they're not spending

00:35:28.460 that money here so the first thing you have to do is what is the ideal scene what is the perfect

00:35:33.880 scenario are you committed to that scenario good second thing cut out the garbage like if i've taken

00:35:40.520 over businesses first thing we do is we go in we create what's our perfect scenario what's our targets

00:35:45.900 second thing we do cut the bullshit right all the bullshit the executives the mid-tier people cut

00:35:52.280 them out get rid of them any of the spending that's ridiculous get rid of it yeah if i buy an apartment

00:35:58.180 building same thing that we do we go in we find out who's good who's bad get rid of them and then we

00:36:03.460 start over again yeah and and this is what has to happen in america this is the time to do this

00:36:09.820 um i think donald trump's going to get rid of the irs as well i think everybody thinks he's not going to do

00:36:15.220 that i think he is going to do that and i think that that would be good for america because there's

00:36:19.980 tremendous amounts of fraud in the irs number one and number two if you restore two trillion dollars

00:36:27.380 back to the u.s taxpayer you'll still be able to pay for medicare social security and the military

00:36:33.480 put two trillion dollars back into citizens hands they're going to spend the money they're going to

00:36:39.260 invest the money they're going to use the money they're going to upgrade their lives and we're going

00:36:42.800 to create so much prosperity in this country it'll be phenomenal they may even 10x their lives grant

00:36:47.880 um that's possible by the way i'm grant i'm sold on the point you tell me if i'm crazy or not

00:36:53.720 that we may have so much fraud and waste in this government that we will not have to do possibly

00:36:59.700 entitlement reforms the thing that everything everybody's so terrified you know pushing grandma

00:37:05.040 off the cliff taking away her health care making me retire at 85 not 65 i mean are you of that same

00:37:11.760 belief tell me if i'm crazy or not but i think there's so much fraud it's possible there there

00:37:15.820 is there is so much fraud okay 25 of the gdp in america goes through dc okay that's that's uh what

00:37:23.660 10 trillion dollars moves through dc if you grab even one percent of that you're talking about

00:37:31.420 tremendous amounts of money and so 10 trillion that'd be a trillion dollars right there just grafting

00:37:39.060 being being grifted through dc every year 10 years that's 10 trillion uh 10 trillion is tremendous

00:37:46.300 amounts of money people don't understand how much money this is and and um and how do you handle that

00:37:51.880 how do you handle a drug addict you take away the drugs how do you handle alcohol take away the alcohol

00:37:56.480 how do you handle a gambling addiction you get him out of the casino you banned his ass he can't go in

00:38:02.200 anymore so what do you do to the politicians cut off the resources going to the politicians

00:38:07.260 and that would apply in california stop the madness stop the insanity or you get rid of the people

00:38:13.840 that are insane you know what grant they wanted donald trump's tax returns for years they got their

00:38:19.600 hands on them i want the tax returns of nancy pelosi i want the tax returns of gavin newsom

00:38:24.060 of karen best these people all live in million dollar homes few million dollar homes they're making

00:38:29.480 174 000 a year before taxes grant nancy pelosi does not fly uh 12 10 to 12 hours a week to go to dc to

00:38:38.220 make she makes a little bit more 200 000 there's something more to it and nobody wants to peel off

00:38:43.420 that layer of the onion nobody wants to talk about that because they're all in on it everyone's making

00:38:49.060 money somehow let's get the tax returns of every single member of congress let's get the tax returns of

00:38:54.640 every governor every district attorney and i guarantee you grant will lose probably half of

00:39:00.080 these people because they're getting money somewhere else and they're not supposed to be

00:39:03.700 well i think even bigger than that is we just do what doge is doing okay do an audit on each one of

00:39:09.880 these departments cut out the fraud and nancy won't get that money anymore i mean in the case of nancy look

00:39:15.760 she's making 200 grand a year she's worth 260 million dollars okay now i know what it takes to put

00:39:22.700 260 million dollars together she would have had to been alive since before the great pyramids

00:39:28.840 okay and she looks like that but you know one day i'll look that old but but uh until then like

00:39:36.020 it's impossible without her doing insider stuff all they have to do is cut off the insider trading

00:39:41.940 congressmen should not be able to get data that the rest of us don't have access to and they shouldn't

00:39:47.220 be able to trade by the way if you're going to go into that if you're going to go and be a politician

00:39:50.940 you should not be able to trade on the stock exchange and you should only be allowed to be

00:39:54.680 there for four six ten years enough to not get corrupted because it takes a little bit of time

00:39:58.540 grant your mind is like very much like donald trump's in the sense is you're a businessman you're not a

00:40:02.940 politician the politicians are the people who got us into this this problem the the gavin newsom's of

00:40:08.160 the world the nancy pelosi's the barack obama's the joe biden's everyone says trust them they look

00:40:13.720 the part they play the part good they kiss the baby's head they shake your hand they look at the eye when

00:40:18.340 you're speaking to you donald trump doesn't have he doesn't have the hair he doesn't have the

00:40:22.460 the steve but that's fine he's a businessman you're the same thing you're a businessman i got the hair

00:40:27.740 though dude grant america is a business and it has to be run like a business not the way that it's been

00:40:34.380 run for these last few years i mean it's even been more more than a few years but i'm talking of late

00:40:39.840 times um are you confident donald trump is going to get this thing turned around four years a very short

00:40:45.760 period of time in the grand scheme of things do you think that there'll be a lasting effect once

00:40:50.420 he's done after his four years is up i think that you know you got you got to you can't worry about

00:40:57.120 the lasting effect right now until you get the change in place so if i'm running a department i

00:41:01.080 can't worry about 10 years right now i got to worry about this year fix it get some successes and then

00:41:07.460 you got to start stacking wins you know state of california and the united states of america has not

00:41:12.380 had a bunch of wins lately we're going backwards not forward so again goes back to what's your ideal

00:41:18.300 scene are you committed to it cut the bullshit out of what is the ideal scene you and your family are

00:41:24.280 going on a trip it's the same thing bro call it a business call it a country call it a trip call it a

00:41:29.680 target whatever find identify the target find the vehicle that'll get you to the target okay be willing

00:41:37.300 to not do things on your way to the target that would get you off your target and until you get

00:41:43.680 there don't stop get a success tell the world it was successful and repeat the activity any department

00:41:50.200 division a family a company or a country is going to basically do the same thing grant i really

00:41:56.980 appreciate you taking the time to talk with us today before we wrap up i've got to ask you because

00:42:01.660 it's uh the audience is now sat here for you know 20 something minutes and they're wondering is grant

00:42:06.380 cardone going to run for governor of california i think a lot of them are cheering for you uh you

00:42:10.720 know if you don't want to answer you know are you on the fence 50 50 60 40 70 30 yeah i well i don't i

00:42:16.960 don't do 60 40 50 50 stuff right now i'm 100 committed to seeing if the people in california are interested

00:42:24.720 in change and my goal literally i'm taking all through the summer this year actually i've we just left

00:42:31.480 our big conference 10x growth conference in miami um and then i'm i'm here in california

00:42:37.760 spending my time my my energy my resources my family's not even with me this week and i'm running

00:42:43.340 up and down the state to tell people hey we can fix this economy okay you can actually flip california

00:42:49.860 red yep and by the way it needs to be flipped not because democrats are bad but we need to send a

00:42:56.260 message to the extremists that the extremists are not welcomed okay gay transgender whatever you want

00:43:03.960 to do you're welcome to california the extremists are the problem in california that is what and that's

00:43:10.080 the problem in america by the way extremists that don't appreciate america are not willing to sacrifice

00:43:14.880 i want to i want to talk to the property owners and make property owners the priority not uh those that

00:43:22.000 don't own property yep residents should be more important than rodents the environmentalists need

00:43:27.540 to go away they created the largest environmental problem in the history of the united states by not

00:43:33.680 or by having too many regulations to prevent these fires from happening and all you california people

00:43:39.100 is like oh fires happen no no fires happen you're right fires do happen putting them out is what we're

00:43:44.980 supposed to do right and it's not like we don't know the fires are coming every october to january

00:43:50.460 they're coming the santa anas are coming there's a way to prevent them provide your fire departments

00:43:55.160 with the resources provide water to hydrants make sure your reservoirs are filled and if you want to
