00:00:00.000 Government shutdown, okay?
00:00:02.140 I don't know what the number is, but 12 times I believe Republicans have tried to allow the government,
00:00:10.320 you know, encourage the government to open up, and they've said no.
00:00:13.180 I even think one time the conversation came about finding ways to be paying the, you know, essential workers,
00:00:19.400 and they also turned it down.
00:00:21.160 Where are we at right now with government shutdown?
00:00:23.780 You're on the inside.
00:00:24.820 You know, you haven't probably had a job like this in a while working with the president,
00:00:28.160 but being on the inside.
00:00:29.720 Never worked in government.
00:00:30.580 I've had a whole experience of, what, nine months now or something?
00:00:34.020 Being in it?
00:00:34.480 Yeah.
00:00:34.900 Well, listen, a lot of people just made it seven days, so nine months is like working 40 years.
00:00:39.220 I know a couple guys that only lasted seven days, but nine months is a lot of respect.
00:00:43.400 But going back to it, what can you tell us with what's going on with the government shutdown right now?
00:00:48.500 I can tell you that the president really knows what he's doing this time around.
00:00:51.860 I mean, just the piece at which he has every day, I think even as I've seen him throughout the shutdown,
00:00:56.800 he just, he really knows what he's doing.
00:00:59.420 And I think this is really hurting the Democrats.
00:01:01.760 Now, we'll have to see what the polling did. 0.53
00:01:03.140 Have we seen any of the polling data on this?
00:01:05.920 Yeah, we've covered it over the last couple of weeks.
00:01:07.920 I mean, it was, like a week ago, it was very interesting.
00:01:11.000 There was a poll, but it was, who do you blame for the shutdown?
00:01:14.660 Congress, Trump, Democrats, Republicans.
00:01:16.900 And when you gave them those four choices, Congress wins.
00:01:21.160 The Americans believing that that's Congress that's responsible for the shutdown.
00:01:25.980 And then you've got, you know, the crowd from the Republican side, Democrat side.
00:01:31.240 So, you know, some of the polls are not fair.
00:01:34.060 I mean, who do you think is responsible for the government shutdown?
00:01:37.540 Donald Trump or this dead owl?
00:01:39.640 Obviously, right, these are unfair polls that are come out and do that.
00:01:43.200 Polls are so often so fake.
00:01:44.320 If an average American believes that it's Congress, and you can find Rasmussen polls and a variety, they've – what do we got, Rob?
00:01:55.980 Was there one that you were going to –
00:01:57.500 No, I'm still looking for it.
00:01:58.480 Well, let me show you this clip.
00:01:59.980 I don't know if you guys saw this one yesterday or not.
00:02:01.580 This is Jake Tapper, you know, talking to another Democrat about the government shutdown being Republicans' fault.
00:02:10.600 And this Democrat is finally saying, listen, man, you're just not telling the truth.
00:02:14.540 So now Jake Tapper is acting like a politician instead of a journalist.
00:02:18.660 Just watch this clip here.
00:02:20.300 So nothing's changed.
00:02:21.180 Senators from New Mexico, your home state, vote to open the government so that these SNAP funds are not at risk?
00:02:27.800 Let me be clear.
00:02:30.760 The administration is choosing to starve American children with money that they already have appropriated.
00:02:40.420 I'm not applauding their –
00:02:41.220 This is a choice by the White House.
00:02:44.340 This is a choice by the White House.
00:02:47.160 They are choosing to cut off food assistance.
00:02:48.260 Congresswoman, this is also a choice by Senate Democrats to not vote to open the government.
00:02:53.040 Yes, it is.
00:02:53.900 I understand why they're doing it.
00:02:55.620 They're doing it because they want Medicaid funds restored.
00:02:58.200 They're doing it because they want Obamacare premiums to be extended past the end of the year.
00:03:03.540 I understand the reasoning.
00:03:04.580 Sir, let me just be clear.
00:03:07.040 The money for contingency plans is sitting there.
00:03:10.020 That is why the states are suing.
00:03:11.580 The White House is withholding funds from children to have food.
00:03:13.620 Yes, it's two to three weeks' worth of SNAP funds.
00:03:16.120 Yeah.
00:03:16.520 Yeah, well, it may not be a big deal to you.
00:03:18.680 But let me tell you that for the grandparents, for grandparents that literally are feeding their children.
00:03:24.380 My point is that it's a short-term solution.
00:03:26.280 To not have money in those accounts.
00:03:27.800 It doesn't matter.
00:03:28.960 At the end of the day, people need to be able to feed their families.
00:03:32.480 And Saturday is when those funds run out.
00:03:34.260 If you feel so strongly, Congresswoman, why not ask the Senate Democrats from New Mexico to vote to open the government so that the SNAP funds...
00:03:43.380 Sure. I am here in the House of Representatives.
00:03:46.260 It is shut down.
00:03:47.120 I am fighting to get the government reopened.
00:03:49.080 I am fighting to get funding put back into SNAP that is already existent.
00:03:53.360 And I am fighting for the American people.
00:03:55.100 I am here.
00:03:55.940 But show me a single Republican that is here.
00:03:58.440 Not a single one is here to make sure that Americans are fed on Saturday.
00:04:02.480 That is why I am here.
00:04:04.760 Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury from New Mexico.
00:04:07.160 How do you process that?
00:04:09.960 How do you process that, Bill?
00:04:11.340 Oh, I just...
00:04:12.360 I look at some of these politicians and they just...
00:04:15.060 They do not like our president.
00:04:17.280 And it makes them kind of go crazy.
00:04:19.740 You know what is cool, though?
00:04:20.940 I said the complete opposite way.
00:04:22.660 But it's cool when they are forced to hold each other accountable.
00:04:26.700 Where it's kind of like, hey, you have the right to do it.
00:04:29.560 If you're so worried about it, why don't you do something about it?
00:04:31.940 And they're not.
00:04:32.560 And then Speaker Johnson, Rob, if you have Speaker Johnson's...
00:04:34.700 But that really shows that, you know, the president's on the right side, in my view here.
00:04:39.580 If you've got somebody like him questioning her and she really doesn't have any good arguments.
00:04:46.040 Yeah, but MTG comes out and responds to what...
00:04:49.820 I mean, this is the conflict.
00:04:50.840 So this is the part where I'm curious to know what's really going on here.
00:04:53.720 This is Speaker Johnson.
00:04:54.680 Rob, if you want to play this.
00:04:56.200 So I brought you a little visual aid here to just remind everybody what the simple facts are.
00:05:01.440 Four simple facts here.
00:05:02.820 The Democrats are required to open the government.
00:05:07.680 They keep saying Republicans are in charge of government.
00:05:09.980 We aren't.
00:05:10.740 Not in the Senate.
00:05:11.880 Sixty votes control the Senate.
00:05:13.640 Not a bare majority.
00:05:15.220 And so point number one, Democrat votes are required to open the government.
00:05:18.160 Point number two, they refuse to do it.
00:05:20.680 They have now voted 12 times to keep the government closed.
00:05:24.820 And they'll have another chance today or tomorrow.
00:05:28.340 Maybe multiple times this week.
00:05:30.140 And we'll see what they do.
00:05:31.260 Now, the third point is very important because they've been trying to confuse the American people.
00:05:35.900 They've tried to say this is a fight about health care or this or that or any other thing.
00:05:40.020 And it's very simple.
00:05:41.580 They put this on paper.
00:05:43.320 They made this their demand in writing in the record of the Senate.
00:05:46.540 And it has not changed.
00:05:48.160 These are just four sub points there under fact number three.
00:05:52.080 But there's many more.
00:05:53.620 But among the things they're demanding, this is what the Democrats in the Senate are demanding to reopen the government.
00:05:58.860 They want to give $200 billion in health benefits to illegal aliens and non-citizens paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
00:06:05.840 That is in their proposal.
00:06:08.360 They want billions in wasteful programs to be returned to foreign countries.
00:06:12.420 So we stop these things.
00:06:13.940 They want to turn it all back on.
00:06:15.740 They're demanding that we do all that to get the government open for hardworking Americans again.
00:06:20.660 They want to give a half a billion to left-leaning news organizations. 0.84
00:06:24.120 And they want to cut $50 billion from rural hospitals.
00:06:27.920 We cannot.
00:06:29.140 We will not do those things.
00:06:31.080 And they know that very well.
00:06:32.780 You can pause it right there.
00:06:33.700 Now, a lot of people are saying, wait a minute.
00:06:35.540 That's not what they're doing.
00:06:36.560 This is not about illegal immigrants getting benefits and all this stuff.
00:06:40.480 But this is what AOC said with Kristen Welker-Tom.
00:06:44.320 I don't know if you saw this one or not.
00:06:45.620 Rob, if you want to play this, I just texted it to you.
00:06:47.960 When asked about whether they want to deny illegal immigrants or undocumented citizens insurance,
00:06:58.100 this is what AOC had to say, which contradicts what a lot of Democrats are saying,
00:07:01.700 that that's not what they're trying to do.
00:07:03.620 At least AOC is just putting it out there.
00:07:05.200 Go ahead, Rob.
00:07:05.680 But can I ask you on this to follow up?
00:07:07.620 Because you said that it is federal law, that undocumented immigrants can't get Medicare, Medicaid, the Obamacare subsidies.
00:07:15.400 Do you believe that should be the law, though?
00:07:17.180 Or do you think undocumented immigrants should have access to federally funded health care?
00:07:20.620 I believe personally that health care is a human right.
00:07:24.660 I believe that every person should be able to go to the doctor.
00:07:27.260 But I believe that right now federal law is the federal law.
00:07:31.020 And that absolutely, you know, that U.S. citizens and people who pay into our programs deserve to be covered by these programs.
00:07:41.040 And, I mean, once again, I do believe that the federal laws that we have on the books are appropriate.
00:07:46.420 But if you could choose, do you believe that that should be changed?
00:07:50.120 Pardon?
00:07:50.680 If you could choose, do you believe that the federal law should be changed?
00:07:52.900 I don't – I believe in a single-payer health care system where if you go in and you need a doctor, you can get the medical attention that you need.
00:08:01.100 But can I ask you on this –
00:08:02.120 So how do you process that?
00:08:03.240 What's your prediction on what you said?
00:08:04.640 That's a running for president type of answer.
00:08:06.920 Yeah.
00:08:07.280 Like the way that –
00:08:07.800 Single-payer?
00:08:08.220 Well, just like that stance to begin with to say that undocumented immigrants don't have a right to medical insurance, that's not something she would have said in the past.
00:08:16.780 It reminds me of like Newsom trying to go more towards the middle to Europe for 2028.
00:08:20.120 But, you know, the number of what we're potentially either saving or spending on this bill, what they're fighting for, is $1.3 trillion.
00:08:27.720 So, you know, the $350 billion that they're fighting for, that was just thrown in, I believe, in the last couple of years.
00:08:33.740 That wasn't even part of what Obama did.
00:08:35.160 And then the trillion for Medicaid cuts.
00:08:37.700 Like Medicaid is one of the biggest waste pits of money in human history.
00:08:41.380 So I don't know like exactly like who we're fighting for with this.
00:08:45.720 Like a lot of it seems to be like potentially undocumented immigrants. 0.88
00:08:48.400 So I think that they're trying to throw them off here with the shutdown because it doesn't seem like they have like a substantive base for what they're doing.
00:08:57.040 Tom?
00:08:57.800 When you see AOC go on there, I mean, she's campaigning, absolutely campaigning.
00:09:02.680 You know, health care is a human right.
00:09:04.580 That makes her sound, oh, you know, lord it over the rest of us.
00:09:08.900 But who's going to pay for it?
00:09:10.140 That would be like my daughter saying, Dad, I think transportation is a human right.
00:09:15.140 And then I'm like, okay, where's the budget and who's going to buy you that car?
00:09:18.880 I mean, that's exactly the crux of it here.
00:09:21.220 It's like health care is a human right.
00:09:22.640 Okay, but should 300 million people, the citizens of the United States, come together and put all the money in the hat so that an incredible number of other people can have the human right?
00:09:34.620 That's the point.
00:09:35.720 And what they want is they want to convert those immigrants to voters and they want to give them things for free so that they have a voting block and power.
00:09:44.340 It's very simple.
00:09:45.780 Health care is one of the free things to give them so that they have that.
00:09:49.220 And I, you know, I thought she was asked a very straight question and she gave a very fluff, you know, fluff enough answer.
00:09:58.720 That's what I think.
00:09:59.680 You know, it's there's nothing to it.
00:10:01.380 And it's like, oh, let's let's just dump it on.
00:10:03.620 Kick the can down the road.
00:10:04.700 Let the American taxpayer pay for it.
00:10:06.540 Health care is a human right for you and you and you and you.
00:10:08.600 I said, wait a minute.
00:10:09.160 The people that live in the house called these 50 United States are being asked for pay for everybody that's coming in the side door.
00:10:16.120 It's like time out.
00:10:17.440 What is the issue between Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene?
00:10:22.460 Rob, if you want to put this up there, the tweet I just sent you is is you see this picture between the two of them.
00:10:29.140 And if you said this is Mario in the fall.
00:10:30.560 Let me read the top private GOP call.
00:10:34.160 Rob, go back to the other one.
00:10:35.440 I'm 47, buddy.
00:10:36.260 I can't see that stuff.
00:10:37.100 Yeah.
00:10:37.700 Zoom in.
00:10:38.100 OK, Speaker Johnson, Representative Matthew Zuka, private GOP call turned fiery as Speaker Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene went head to head over the party's stalled shutdown approach.
00:10:48.360 MTGQ's leadership are wasting their majority by keeping lawmakers home and demanded an off ramp from Obamacare subsidies.
00:10:54.500 Johnson defended strategy, insisting Republicans are working around the clock before snapping.
00:10:58.960 How does that help us, Marjorie?
00:11:00.840 Some GOP members sided with Greene, others with Johnson revealing deep fracture inside a House majority right now.
00:11:05.320 Go a little bit lower on that video.
00:11:07.060 I think he is calling on someone.
00:11:08.700 Zoom in a little bit.
00:11:10.140 Speaking, I don't have any more MTG fan fiction.
00:11:13.340 OK, play this clip, Rob.
00:11:14.640 Play this clip if you could.
00:11:18.120 Thank you.
00:11:19.020 Thank you.
00:11:19.520 So what is your reaction to Marjorie Taylor Greene saying this is a serious issue in regards to Representative Corey Mills and accusing you of hypocrisy over the handling of this situation versus your story?
00:11:32.720 Well, I don't know.
00:11:35.300 I haven't tried not to react to what Marjorie Taylor Greene says every day.
00:11:38.200 I did see somebody told me that she accused me of ousting Santos, which, of course, is the exact opposite of the history.
00:11:45.800 Everyone can go review what happened.
00:11:48.580 I opposed his expulsion from Congress.
00:11:51.240 I voted against it.
00:11:52.360 I advocated to my colleagues not to do that.
00:11:54.560 And you can take George Santos' word for it himself.
00:11:59.640 I think right before he submitted to prison, he did a very friendly social media post about me and how I'd been such a great friend to him and a help to the guy.
00:12:07.460 I had a lot of, you know, I was trying to reach out to him as I would any colleague who's in a difficult situation.
00:12:15.260 And I, you know, I'll be frank.
00:12:16.900 I talked to George Santos about redemption and about, you know, God's mercy and grace.
00:12:21.480 So, look, I don't know what Marjorie's talking about.
00:12:24.280 Corey Mills, I noted a few days ago when I was asked about Corey Mills, I'm aware of the allegations against him.
00:12:29.880 I'm an attorney, so I'm going to reserve judgment on that, let the legal process play out as I should, as anyone would expect.
00:12:34.920 But what do you think is going on here?
00:12:39.400 I think you've got, look, in any party, you don't necessarily have perfect unity.
00:12:46.560 You look at Christians around the world.
00:12:49.660 You have the Catholics, you have the Protestants, Presbyterians that all agree on Jesus Christ and agree on core things, but they feel very different about a whole bunch of things.
00:12:59.680 You know, Methodists, no dancing, you know, and there's all these things below it. 1.00
00:13:03.640 And I think that's what you're seeing in the Republican Party.
00:13:05.880 But I think you're seeing a unity of American conservatism.
00:13:09.460 And I believe that there is largely unity behind the president.
00:13:13.140 But when MTG and the Speaker are getting into it over George Santos, who is now out and it's a settled situation, that doesn't help us come together as a group of conservative Republicans and negotiate through the shutdown.
00:13:30.540 How does, you know, re-litigating or going back over George Santos and what happened with him, does that help us come together on this?
00:13:38.820 They should be coming together and scrumming over exactly what she was talking about.
00:13:42.940 Okay, how do we, how are we going to navigate the Obamacare subsidies now at the end of the year and what the Democrats are trying to do and hold this thing hostage at the shutdown?
00:13:50.980 How do we come together as a conservative bloc in support of our president and get that done and set aside these grievances and things they have over stuff?
00:13:59.620 George Santos is settled.
00:14:01.080 He's out.
00:14:01.840 It's done.
00:14:02.740 He's going to get a book deal.
00:14:04.880 He's sitting on morning talk shows talking about how appreciative he is of the president and that he's out and it's done.
00:14:11.620 How does that help us with the shutdown?
00:14:13.120 I think these things need to be set aside and let's talk about what is the play we're calling to deal with the Democrats that are intentionally holding this place shut down, intentionally causing the SNAP benefits to be held back, and our, what is our play call to come together on the Obama subsidies and go forward to the future?
00:14:32.500 Have you seen the number on SNAP and the videos that are going viral with everybody talking about, I can't believe this.
00:14:38.960 Take a look at this chart, by the way.
00:14:41.020 This is a chart, Tom, that shows food stamps by ethnicity.
00:14:44.700 Who's on SNAP and what is their citizenship status?
00:14:48.820 $7.8 billion a monthly on SNAP.
00:14:53.080 If illegals were removed from SNAP, the cost would reduce 70% is what they're saying.
00:14:59.100 Zoom in a little bit, Rob.
00:14:59.920 Take a look at this.
00:15:00.940 Zoom in a little bit.
00:15:02.020 Percentage of U.S. households receiving SNAP benefits, food stamps by ethnicity, Afghan.
00:15:08.380 Cuban, 46%. 0.66
00:15:09.960 Somalia, 42%.
00:15:12.120 Iraqi, 35%.
00:15:13.240 Dominican, 34%.
00:15:14.700 Caribbean, 28%.
00:15:15.860 Native, 27%. 0.89
00:15:17.600 Puerto Rican, 27%.
00:15:18.760 Cuban, 25%.
00:15:19.620 Black, 25%. 0.98
00:15:21.100 Arab, 24%.
00:15:22.840 Cambodian, 23%.
00:15:24.040 Asian, Pacific Islander, Honduras.
00:15:26.260 Armenians made it under 19%.
00:15:28.320 Bangladesh, Moroccan, Mexican, 18%.
00:15:30.800 But when you go all the way to the top, what do you notice?
00:15:33.940 Yeah, they misspelled Minnesota on the second line.
00:15:36.380 Yeah, but when you see this number, if illegals are removed, it saves 70% of cost?
00:15:46.160 There's the proof.
00:15:47.180 There's the proof that the Democrats are bringing people in the side door and giving them a free
00:15:52.180 living on the backs of the rest of Americans or on the backs of our grandchildren who are
00:15:57.620 going to be covering, approaching $20 trillion of long-term debt.
00:16:02.780 There it is.
00:16:03.760 There it is.
00:16:05.040 There's Exhibit A.
00:16:06.260 Snap benefits that they're screaming about is not for the neighbor down the street.
00:16:10.820 And sure, you'll find one person, put them on the news, do a little video.
00:16:14.700 But 70% of it is illegals that were brought here.
00:16:18.300 A huge trove of that under the Biden administration.
00:16:21.700 And this is part of the free stuff they're trying to ask you to pay for.
00:16:25.340 American taxpayer, you are being asked to pay for this.
00:16:29.120 You are buying someone else's lunch.
00:16:31.400 They have a free lunch.
00:16:33.260 You cooperate.
00:16:34.260 You pay your taxes.
00:16:35.280 You turn in your 1040 form.
00:16:36.960 You live in America.
00:16:37.980 And they are putting the debt on your grandchildren.
00:16:40.980 And they're giving free stuff to people they want to turn into voters.
00:16:44.260 It's that simple.
00:16:46.000 Do you know?
00:16:46.300 Do you know?
00:16:46.740 Do you know?
00:16:47.180 Sorry, I get upset.
00:16:48.120 I love it.
00:16:48.940 No, go ahead.
00:16:49.480 I love that you're emphatic.
00:16:51.220 Remember how big of the budget the entitlement programs are?
00:16:54.780 I mean, this is just SNAP.
00:16:55.740 This is a small piece of entitlements.
00:16:57.420 But what's the total number of entitlement spending that goes towards potentially illegal immigrants?
00:17:02.700 That's such a drag on productivity.
00:17:05.260 Over $2.5 trillion going towards things where we're just giving handouts to people.
00:17:09.560 Talk about a bad return on investment.
00:17:11.680 I mean, that's...
00:17:12.800 I saw multiple videos of people saying,
00:17:14.760 if you guys stop giving me my SNAP, we're going to start robbing businesses.
00:17:18.900 And we're going to go on a strike.
00:17:21.240 And this guy reacts to it and say,
00:17:23.100 you're going to go on strike for what?
00:17:24.160 For free money you're getting from taxpayers?
00:17:25.940 Yeah.
00:17:26.220 What strike?
00:17:26.840 This is a clip here on it as well.
00:17:29.200 Go ahead, Rob.
00:17:29.800 There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.
00:17:36.880 And we're saying people deliberately instead of Americans,
00:17:40.180 because most of the people that are on food stamps aren't even from this country.
00:17:44.580 45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.
00:17:49.780 42% of Somali immigrants.
00:17:52.480 34% of every immigrant from Iraq.
00:17:55.880 23% of Haitians.
00:17:58.240 59% of all illegal aliens are collecting food stamps.
00:18:04.160 Meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. government
00:18:08.100 and the U.S. taxpayer are not even Americans.
00:18:11.880 Think about that.
00:18:12.620 And we didn't know about any of this before the government shutdown started.
00:18:16.220 But thanks to Democrats, we can confirm tonight that millions of Joe Biden illegal aliens,
00:18:21.980 people who crossed the border when Joe was president,
00:18:24.680 are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers.
00:18:29.840 There are 42 million people.
00:18:32.140 By the way, Brandon, we can go back to what we talked about a year ago.
00:18:34.780 We covered in great detail on multiple podcasts.
00:18:37.540 Pat, remember we went with this on the plight, what was happening to Medicaid in California.
00:18:43.960 And that hospitals closed because they were going broke because if a gunshot victim,
00:18:50.560 a stabbing victim, or an unconscious person foaming at the mouth in convulsion
00:18:54.340 came to an emergency room in downtown Los Angeles, they got treatment.
00:18:59.580 They didn't sit there and say,
00:19:00.860 well, if you can stop bleeding long enough to reach into your pocket and give me your insurance card,
00:19:04.260 I'll take care of you here.
00:19:05.300 No, they took care of it.
00:19:06.620 And then the hospitals went to Sacramento and said,
00:19:09.140 Newsom, I need to cover the Medicaid shortfall for all these services I gave to all these people.
00:19:14.180 Like what?
00:19:14.980 Well, here's the gunshots, the stabbings, the unconscious people, the drug overdoses,
00:19:18.460 the fentanyls, the Narcan pens, bringing someone back from the dead.
00:19:21.980 This is what I need.
00:19:23.060 And guess what?
00:19:24.300 California was so broke, they were unable to do it.
00:19:26.540 And they lost a downtown hospital.
00:19:29.040 So in South Central L.A. and the plight of it down there in these African-American neighborhoods
00:19:33.700 that are not filled with illegal immigrants, these are people that are American poor.
00:19:40.320 They lost the hospital down the street that was providing them basic coverage
00:19:44.620 because it went broke on the Medicaid system.
00:19:47.920 That's the other part of it.
00:19:49.180 States come crying to their senator and congressman,
00:19:52.100 Medicaid's killing me here.
00:19:53.120 All these illegals are here. 1.00
00:19:54.280 I got Medicaid.
00:19:55.000 I got to cover this.
00:19:55.720 Who do you think?
00:19:56.940 You think the food stamps in Somalia?
00:19:58.820 Go look at what's happening to the hospitals in Minnesota and giving services.
00:20:03.040 Who's paying for the Medicaid shortfall of the state of Minnesota?
00:20:06.240 Omar is in Washington getting funds and grants back to the state to cover it.
00:20:12.200 Food stamps is just where it starts.
00:20:14.540 Now go to hospitalization and health care and all the rest of the stuff being given to people
00:20:18.840 and $40 trillion that can kick down the road and now our grandchildren are going to pay for it. 1.00
00:20:23.900 By the way, you know what the number is, how much we gave to SNAP last year?
00:20:27.760 Almost $100 billion.
00:20:29.820 $100 billion towards SNAP.
00:20:32.040 And people will sit there and say, well, we gave $2 billion to that guy and we gave $1 billion to this.
00:20:36.740 We gave $100 billion to SNAP and came out of your pocket.
00:20:40.000 And most of them are not even from here.
00:20:41.380 And you can get rid of 70% of it and say $70 billion of taxpayer money with all this illegal.
00:20:50.560 And while I don't want to talk about food and stuff like that, I'll say this with regard to housing, the illegal immigration.
00:20:55.860 This is exactly what I'm talking about in terms of illegal immigration.
00:20:58.380 You get all these people coming in the country and they have to live somewhere, right? 1.00
00:21:01.400 You're talking about they have to eat and they're subsidizing it.
00:21:04.660 And I think we have yet to see fully the full effect of illegal immigration on housing.
00:21:10.420 2026 is around the corner.
00:21:12.880 I am convinced this is going to be a very, very special year, in my opinion.
00:21:19.200 I think we got this other rate cut that's coming.
00:21:21.660 I think we're going to have three more in 2026, give or take, based on what Goldman Sachs and a lot of other people are saying.
00:21:25.840 We may even experience a new person that's running the Fed by June-ish, I think June 26-ish, around that time, that could turn things around the second half of the year.
00:21:37.080 If the China-U.S. trade deal gets done, it could be an unbelievable day for the stock market.
00:21:43.840 However, all of that stuff going into 2026, what that means to you is nothing if you're not prepared for it going into 2026 with momentum.
00:21:53.560 So having said that, if you don't yet have a plan to write out a great business plan for yourself, your family, your executives, your employees, watch this video, Rob, if you have.
00:22:03.200 This is a video we shot of me going into a car, driving a car that goes 1.9 seconds, 0 to 60, and I also borrowed Vinny's old car to see.
00:22:15.020 What was it, Rob?
00:22:15.680 Was it a Prius?
00:22:16.300 Because we're testing to see the difference between a Prius on 0 to 60 and then versus the Tesla Plaid.
00:22:22.420 The owner was freaking out saying, I don't know if you can handle it or not.
00:22:24.760 I said, I've been driving fast cars for a very long time, but I want you to watch this video.
00:22:27.900 Rob, what speed do you have it on?
00:22:29.000 Just one.
00:22:29.620 Okay.
00:22:29.820 Regular.
00:22:30.200 Watch this video, folks.
00:22:31.080 Speed matters when it comes down to business.
00:22:32.580 Go ahead, Rob.
00:22:35.940 Holy shit.
00:22:37.320 How fast you grow your business matters.
00:22:39.520 Behind me, I have a 2019 Toyota Corolla, and I have a Model S Tesla Plaid.
00:22:44.700 You're going to see how fast it goes.
00:22:45.920 It's absolutely insane.
00:22:47.880 One, two, three.
00:22:50.000 This is Vinny's car.
00:22:54.660 Still have it in it.
00:22:55.660 Come on, Corolla.
00:22:57.220 10 seconds.
00:22:58.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:22:59.440 Still got from A to B, but it's super slow.
00:23:01.700 Any of these companies that eventually dominate their competitors, their edge isn't always just product.
00:23:07.320 It's speed.
00:23:08.280 This took way too long to go from zero to 60.
00:23:11.060 Here we go.
00:23:11.560 Now we're in the plant.
00:23:12.580 Let's see how this does.
00:23:13.800 Zero to 60.
00:23:18.340 Holy shit.
00:23:20.780 My God.
00:23:22.020 That was amazing.
00:23:23.900 So notice the difference.
00:23:24.920 Zero to 60 in the Corolla.
00:23:26.500 Nine, 10 seconds.
00:23:27.580 This was less than two seconds.
00:23:29.220 So at this point, we know speed is critical in business.
00:23:32.140 The question becomes, with 2026 around the corner, it'll be here in no time.
00:23:35.860 How prepared are you going to be versus all your competitors?
00:23:39.980 Once a year, I host an event called the Business Planning Workshop, where we cover the 12 building blocks on how to write a proper business plan that drives emotion and logic.
00:23:49.640 If you've never attended it, do whatever you can for you, your wife, your team to tune in together.
00:23:55.700 It's the only one we do that's through a webinar, which means anybody from anywhere around the world can tune into the Business Planning Workshop.
