00:00:00.000 this is another guy that thinks everybody likes him but uh unfortunately he lacks in leadership
00:00:05.860 he does run one of the biggest companies in the world this company is not called nvidia this
00:00:11.620 company is not called apple it's not called google this company is called california and his name is
00:00:16.160 gavin newsom and his state's got kind of a lot of problems rob is that a clip of what's going on in
00:00:21.000 california yes sir it's so bad folks that the president tweeted something that we have to
00:00:25.840 address today on the podcast rob go ahead and play the clip go for it president trump has signed an
00:00:30.820 executive order which the white house claims will speed up rebuilding after the wildfire disaster
00:00:35.760 the order aims to allow residents who are using federal emergency funds to rebuild to bypass the
00:00:41.540 local permitting process california officials are expected to challenge the order governor gavin
00:00:46.820 newsom responded on x asking the federal government to send funds to rebuild not take over the permitting
00:00:52.820 process la county supervisor katherine barger issued a statement saying she welcomes any effort to
00:00:58.260 responsibly accelerate rebuilding she says la county already has a self-certification process
00:01:04.180 and a streamlined approval process for modular factory built homes and pre-approved plans
00:01:10.300 la mayor karen bass called the executive order quote a meaningless political stunt she sent us a
00:01:16.640 statement that reads in part the president has no authority over the local permitting process but
00:01:21.640 where he could actually be helpful is by providing the critical fema funding we have been asking for
00:01:27.460 by speeding up and by regulating the industries that he alone can impact why give money to an
00:01:34.920 organization that is a cluster you know what why give money to somebody like you brad did you ever live
00:01:40.460 in california or no once yes okay and so i'll read this to you what happened so he's taking over uh in the
00:01:47.960 area of the rebuilds okay newsom has failed and trump is saving the people only 2500 homes have received
00:01:54.380 permits of the fires that's 13 percent less than 10 homes have been rebuilt he's coming and saying
00:02:00.880 we'll accelerate the permitting process if they do that and i'll ask an open-ended question one how do you
00:02:07.780 think newsom handled the fires and you know the rest of the bass and others handle the fires and what do you
00:02:12.560 think about the story with trump taking over well i think someone needs to it's clearly uh evidence of
00:02:18.720 local government failing yes me um which is obvious and i think everyone knows it but ultimately you know
00:02:26.880 i think where's the money coming from like where's the insurance liability uh insurance companies
00:02:32.100 participation why are people being screwed basically and then holding back permits that's just
00:02:39.940 bureaucracy that's just stupidity i think i'm glad uh trump's doing it and someone needs to do
00:02:46.600 something with california because that's one of the i mean as far as weather and and you know environment
00:02:52.120 it's just an unbelievable place to live and and they're just literally ruining it where'd you live
00:02:58.280 in california well when i was there i was in recita really yeah no like csun northridge northridge
00:03:07.060 chatsworth oh wow right around there what business were you in in chatsworth because chatsworth was
00:03:11.700 famous for some unique industries back in the days what was it what was it chatsworth at uh one point
00:03:17.480 it wasn't that what year were you in chat you thinking you're saying porn but it was at one point
00:03:22.060 hell no 80 percent uh i don't know if you knew this so i was the manager of valley total fitness in
00:03:27.500 chatsworth and all our members were part of that space but tom went to csun which is in recita so we have
00:03:33.580 something in common we all live in the same area what year was this when you lived there by the way
00:03:37.480 oh man it's got probably um 89 89 yeah i was i was i went down there to to i got a part in a movie i
00:03:47.320 thought i was going to be a movie star so i went down there and uh ended up ultimately homeless on a
00:03:53.400 on on a beach and so the way you get off the beach is you find a girl it doesn't that's not homeless
00:04:00.200 so i ended up moving over there because that's where she lived and she she lived where in recita
00:04:05.840 yeah got it and she allowed me to stay there so i just went wherever i was welcome tom your thoughts
00:04:11.980 with what's going on in california this is like a tom petty song she was a good girl living in recita
00:04:17.900 yeah um my thoughts on it as somebody has to talk about brad just so you know tom's trying to be a
00:04:24.980 comedian and he succeeds 10 percent of the time i just want you to because the audience already knows
00:04:29.300 it but he's really trying to do it if you working on a stand-up game if you look up the uh the
00:04:33.880 earthquake that happened there i was there when that happened so 94 whatever year that was 89
00:04:40.520 whittier narrows yep was it 89 man i'm i'm uh pretty good at recalling then because really
00:04:46.920 89 tom what is that the big one because the big one was 94 no yep 89 oh you're talking about the
00:04:53.800 san francisco no i'm talking about the one in northridge and it like because i was there it threw me out of
00:04:59.160 the bed yeah literally i was in bed and that was 94 94 and it just the the earth shifted so so
00:05:06.200 45 seconds it lasted i ended up on my ass damn tom california what are you thinking you had many
00:05:11.640 people in the same position california i think the president's doing the right thing he's got to
00:05:16.120 unclog the cork because we've talked about it uh adam carolla has talked about it a lot of adam
00:05:21.640 carolla was on this podcast talking about it about what's going on how they're holding it up
00:05:25.640 malibu late they need to be honest about it the malibu homes on that are on the beach right below
00:05:32.180 pacific palisades the coastal commission is trying to prevent that they were ever be rebuilt adam
00:05:38.560 carolla's called it out i call it out then up in the area which was a a neighborhood by the way you
00:05:44.440 could debate the beach you could the city could debate but they're trying to take those malibu homes
00:05:49.220 away and prevent anything from being built there using the authority of the coastal commission
00:05:54.300 up in pacific palace age you just saw the video that we showed there's cleared areas there's old
00:06:00.200 foundations just sitting there and people waiting to get rebuilt but the permitting process is taking
00:06:05.940 forever it's the bureaucracy of downtown and they are hoping for defaults so that developers favorable
00:06:13.000 to the city can buy tracks of it and they want to put affordable housing up let me translate that
00:06:18.420 they want to put apartment buildings up because they feel like they need more units for uh-oh here
00:06:24.380 it comes homeless so these agendas coming from the city so there's the bureaucracy and agendas coming
00:06:30.980 from the city and what happens is just like when that young man did a simple video in minnesota and exposed
00:06:38.760 all the fraud that was going on there that triggered a lot of the mayhem guess what the president by
00:06:44.320 unclogging this is about to expose agendas by the coastal commission he's going to do though
00:06:49.680 i what do you think he's going to do you think you think it's going to be like permitting the way he
00:06:54.740 said i'm going to give nuclear permit site within three weeks you think it's going to be that fast
00:06:58.100 two things he has the power of the purse because california is a consumer not a contributor of dollars on the
00:07:06.040 federal stage california consumes a lot of dollars now their medicaid is bank bankrupt they bankrupt
00:07:11.700 at hospitals they need federal money and grants flowing to them that's why karen bass the mayor
00:07:17.300 says no no why don't you send the money through fema but in fema they list where the people they
00:07:23.080 list the organizations in fema there's a bunch of ngos that have nothing to do with the fire area
00:07:29.260 that have everything to do with downtown la and you know more money going to not solve the homeless
00:07:35.740 situation so what the president can do is by holding up money and pushing this way say i'm going
00:07:42.280 to do it he's about to shine a spotlight on it because he can hold back funds to california if
00:07:47.040 they don't cooperate with the order you have no authority here okay so you're saying you're not
00:07:50.760 going to cooperate with it we're not going to do that you you and take us to court okay well let's do
00:07:54.620 this turn off the valve turn off the money hold things back and that's exactly what's about to
00:08:00.920 happen chama was tweeting about it last night there's a lot of people that are cheering this
00:08:05.260 saying this is the pressure that the that the president can bring on this brandon yeah i was
00:08:11.780 gonna say the um the exact same thing in part so it's 33 of california's budget that comes from the
00:08:17.220 federal budget so yeah he's got the ultimate lever here to put pressure on them and i mean this is like
00:08:21.700 my god this is just layers and layers of helplessness and problems for the people there i mean the people
00:08:26.660 who are trying to rebuild and can't get a permit are people who could afford to rebuild i mean it's
00:08:30.040 already what eight hundred thousand dollars on average for a house in california so those are
00:08:33.960 probably two million dollar homes a huge percentage of them weren't even covered by insurance because
00:08:38.040 their insurance got pulled or retroactively said they weren't going to cover it so you know just
00:08:42.240 getting the permit to build the thing is probably for a small portion of people a lot of people can't
00:08:45.780 even probably rebuild it if they did get the permit so you know the fact that they're making it this
00:08:50.900 difficult for them i think that is a screaming um verification that there is something weird here where
00:08:56.360 there's an agenda to build something different make it fundamentally different than it was before because
00:08:59.680 it was a residential thing before you know now they're probably trying to make it like some
00:09:03.180 section eight type of situation so uh yeah i think the lever here for him is to cut off that 33 percent
00:09:08.820 of their money that comes from the federal budget because it's a disaster state what happens if he
00:09:12.720 succeeds what happens if he succeeds what happens if he pulls it off what happens if all of a sudden
00:09:18.400 californians are like oh i got my permit within two weeks i got my permit within 30 days now that the
00:09:24.960 president took over i got my fair act money that came through it was much faster i got this what
00:09:30.960 happens if those things expedite five percent shift in california popularity or you think so yeah that's
00:09:36.380 it though i think so so many people are so blindly against him that it wouldn't move the needle that
00:09:40.400 much but i think more californian people like him than we know of i think their voting is very what do
00:09:45.600 you think would happen i i would agree i mean you know people are just going to realize that a lot of
00:09:51.420 the excuses you know were were bureaucracy and so they're they're going to lose trust in the in the
00:09:58.460 state of california the politics yeah but i think it's happening anyway you know i think again there's
00:10:03.380 more like he said there's more people that are that are not pleased with the local government than
00:10:09.400 than they let on but it also said something about manufactured homes and modular homes there's expediting
00:10:16.040 for those like you're going to replace the homes that were there with mobile homes that's embarrassing
00:10:21.880 that's exactly right that's ridiculous again these are 20 30 million auto homes who's who's running the
00:10:27.980 place and when you say well these guys who is allowing it yeah makes no sense tom i think what happens here
00:10:37.460 is california will do everything they can to not let this be successful because the price of this being
00:10:44.600 successful is massive you know five points what was the uh rob what was the actual margin of victory
00:10:51.020 for california as a whole in the presidential election and if this moves five or seven points
00:10:57.060 led by the central valley led by northern san diego led by orange county which by the way the people of
00:11:03.560 color in the areas that i've mentioned are the ones that are flipping there's not suddenly more white
00:11:08.780 farmers in central california it's his second and third generation hispanics that are like
00:11:14.220 hey wait a minute what's going on here you know it was 50 58 38 that goes 53 43 suddenly that becomes
00:11:24.640 10 points it goes from a 22 point member because the percentage points come off each end becomes a
00:11:31.340 10 point swing california that once upon a time was completely in play and you're looking at maybe
00:11:38.260 congressional traction in san diego and congressional traction well maybe traction 48 to 4 tom after
00:11:46.440 gerrymandering exactly how do you compete with 48 to 4 but you're not going to win it but this is going
00:11:53.700 to move this it's like one if he succeeds they can't let him succeed because it causes independence
00:12:01.540 to say no wait a minute this guy got it done and i really didn't like him but this guy didn't and i
00:12:08.360 was only why again did i vote for gavin newsom there are independents that reflect other people
00:12:14.460 will just never this is embarrassing by the way this is and by the way can you pull uh the chamat tweet
00:12:18.680 back up rob please uh this was chamat's tweet newsom in california keep endlessly raising taxes and
00:12:24.200 then wasted uh to their cronies at no point did they think to actually spend even a few cents of
00:12:30.800 more than 350 billion a year on filling the water tank and then then comes the palisades firing guess
00:12:37.660 what the insurance companies are now suing the government of california because they think
00:12:41.920 california should pay not them if you were them wouldn't you do the same this is the price of
00:12:46.780 incompetence and larceny by our government representatives in california when will enough be enough
00:12:52.840 it's logic so if somebody reads this what's the first thing you say i don't see emotion i see
00:12:57.920 logic go ahead and argue it rob show the picture of the lawsuit look at the list on the left those are
00:13:05.100 the insurance companies pat can you zoom in a little bit to see who they are orion company was a
00:13:10.260 good california general underwriter insurance company mercury okay that's a big one right there
00:13:13.840 fortega okay summit insurance insurance company ice camp where's chuck chubb line 19 banker standards
00:13:20.680 insurance company chubb okay chubb is i got a personal relationship with those guys lloyds
00:13:25.700 lloyds of london where do you see lloyds of london lower yeah lloyds insurance company where is that
00:13:31.140 coming from all the way on the other side it's coming from all of the big money houses are backed
00:13:36.760 by chubb and lloyds yeah so these are not small companies that are suing them the entire state so
00:13:43.460 you're losing insurance companies you're losing people you're losing creatives you're losing
00:13:50.100 innovators you're losing investors you're losing two guys that just built a four trillion dollar
00:13:55.680 company out of california that moved to the great state of florida you're losing all these guys what's
00:14:01.040 the argument what's the argument with what's happening i mean the the idea is to bring families that just
00:14:08.400 want to build businesses buy properties take care of their kids and you're not creating a climate like
00:14:15.640 that because now if i'm buying a house i have to be worried if i can even get homeowner's insurance
00:14:20.140 folks uh once a year we host an event um called the sales leadership summit that event is coming up
00:14:27.980 in the next two months it'll be in south florida at trump dorrell and it's for those of you that run a
00:14:35.800 business because sales is king most people don't understand the power of developing sales leaders
00:14:40.940 that develop sales people this video will break down what's happening at sls and hopefully those
00:14:46.480 of you guys that are doing a million plus you'll get a chance to get a ticket for yourself go ahead
00:14:50.120 rob play the clip so many years ago i realized the size of your income your network your lifestyle is a
00:14:55.320 pure reflection of the size of problems you solve so for me going back 20 some years ago i was a good
00:15:01.160 salesperson i learned how to sell i knew if i ran three four appointments a day i could sell two four
00:15:06.720 six maybe eight insurance policies on a given day then i asked myself how do i sell 50 in a day how do
00:15:12.480 i sell 100 in a day there's no way i can do it by myself i have to solve a big problem and go from
00:15:17.440 being a salesperson to being a sales leader by the way it is very different being a salesperson than
00:15:23.380 being a sales leader that's a massive problem to try to solve what happened later on i went from
00:15:28.360 selling two to three policies a day personally to eventually we sold one million insurance policies
00:15:34.480 with our company and we sold that company for 250 million dollars three years ago licensing 60 000
00:15:40.240 insurance agents we solved a massive problem got paid massively let me bring it back to you
00:15:46.660 in america today according to the bureau of labor statistics we have 13.4 million sales people in
00:15:52.360 america that go out selling every day working for commission we have 132 000 vp of sales according to
00:15:57.900 linkedin and we have roughly 8 000 chief sales officers in america now when it comes down to
00:16:03.140 putting the hat on of being a sales leader it's a very different accountability tough conversations
00:16:08.480 challenging transferring your knowledge on how to get referrals how to follow up on leads how to
00:16:14.160 properly follow up where you don't offend the person the script you use when you dm versus when
00:16:18.480 you email which is when you make a phone call how to give better presentations the types of phone calls
00:16:22.780 to make the types of contests to run how to hold them accountable and drive them and not upset
00:16:27.360 them and they still want to come how do you steer competition all of this are things companies that
00:16:33.720 solve big problems that become multi-billion dollar companies do so once a year i host a conference
00:16:39.060 called a sales leadership summit this happens once a year to attend this you need to do a minimum of a
00:16:45.720 million dollars a year and have five sales people that report to you if you want to join us at this
