00:00:00.000 Rob, can you pull up the clip on Snap Benefits, the one that Elon Musk had?
00:00:08.100 Do you know which one I'm talking about, that Elon Musk?
00:00:09.920 It's in my notes, Rob, if you go find it.
00:00:12.020 Okay.
00:00:12.860 If you go in the notes.
00:00:13.980 So Elon Musk retweets this clip.
00:00:16.760 Right there, Rob, you had it, right?
00:00:18.220 It was the one right there.
00:00:19.620 No, no, go.
00:00:21.040 So Elon Musk retweets this clip.
00:00:22.880 That's the one.
00:00:23.200 From Rawlins.
00:00:23.840 About, but can you close it for me to first read what she says in there, if you don't mind.
00:00:27.560 Zoom in a little bit, Rob.
00:00:28.520 Okay.
00:00:28.780 On my first day, USDA, we told every state to send us their snap data so we can make sure illegal immigrants aren't getting benefits meant for American families. 1.00
00:00:38.700 29 states stepped up, 21 blue states refused, and the two sued us for asking.
00:00:45.800 Go ahead, Rob.
00:00:47.500 Play.
00:00:47.720 Day, day one of USDA, February 13th, is we sent letters to every governor in America being very clear that no illegal aliens can use SNAP.
00:01:01.420 Zero, zero, zero.
00:01:03.000 We asked every state for the first time in history, and this was in February, to send us their data and let us, with Doge and a war room, actually start going through this data to better understand how this explosion of SNAP benefits happened under Joe Biden.
00:01:18.540 We increased almost 40 percent on this program in just a couple of years under the Biden administration.
00:01:24.880 Of course, we know they were trying to buy the election, but that's a conversation for another time.
00:01:28.580 And since we have asked for that data, 29 states have complied, of course, almost all the red states, a couple of the, you know, a couple of blue states, too.
00:01:38.640 But in that data, and I haven't talked about this yet publicly, in that data, we have found, we've studied about $100 billion in spend.
00:01:46.420 We have found thousands and thousands of illegal use of the EBT card.
00:01:54.100 We have been moving people off of SNAP.
00:01:55.780 We've got almost 700,000 people, I think.
00:01:58.120 We've moved off just since the president took office.
00:02:01.180 We've arrested about 118 people.
00:02:03.980 So this has been ongoing.
00:02:05.060 But, Rachel, to your point, what this conversation has allowed is a national spotlight on a broken and corrupt program.
00:02:13.940 We found one guy in six different states getting a benefit.
00:02:17.420 We found about 5,000 people that are dead who are still getting benefits.
00:02:21.580 Like, it is time to drastically reform this program so that we can make sure that those who are truly needy, truly vulnerable, are getting what they need,
00:02:30.400 and the rest of the corruption goes away, and we can serve the American taxpayer.
00:02:35.060 There you go.
00:02:35.680 Vinny, go ahead.
00:02:37.180 I'm just, okay, think about the Democratic game plan.
00:02:40.240 Brandon, are you ready for this?
00:02:41.140 Yeah.
00:02:41.420 And this is why, Tommy, they're so unpopular in the history.
00:02:44.980 How long has it been?
00:02:45.800 35-year, all-time low, right, Robert, or whatever the stat is.
00:02:49.240 Think about this game plan, Brandon.
00:02:50.680 You open the border under Biden, okay?
00:02:53.360 When they get here, you give them $10,000 debit cards, all right?
00:02:56.600 Put them in hotels.
00:02:57.800 Give them all these benefits.
00:02:58.940 Put them on SNAP.
00:02:59.600 Put them on everything, Pat.
00:03:00.460 Pat, make it illegal to ask for identification.
00:03:03.900 Remember the Obama phones. 0.84
00:03:05.040 Obama phones as well.
00:03:06.100 Make it illegal, Pat, to even ask for identification.
00:03:08.960 Then, when ISIS is going after them, make it seem like they're Hitler and Nazi Germany, and make it sanctuary cities. 0.98
00:03:14.240 That's how you keep these voters.
00:03:16.180 It's all, they have no, they have no leaders.
00:03:18.780 They have no voice.
00:03:19.660 They have no policy.
00:03:20.480 So you know what you do?
00:03:21.160 You import illegals. 0.69
00:03:22.500 Pat, we are a magnet.
00:03:23.700 Elon even called it, we're a magnet because we incentivize these illegals, and the moment you try to stick up and say, wait a minute, they're raping young girls around the country. 0.99
00:03:33.020 Wait a minute, they're taking money from this.
00:03:34.560 They're taking this money from this program.
00:03:36.040 We're labeled racist, and we hate Mexicans, and we hate Venezuelans.
00:03:39.180 It's bullshit, and I'm sorry for my language, but that's what it comes down to.
00:03:42.800 And this, did you see this, Pat?
00:03:44.180 States where Kamala Harris won versus ID requirement.
00:03:47.920 Look at, she won the states that you had no ID. 0.99
00:03:50.500 She would have lost every single one of them, I believe, maybe California pending, if you have to show ID.
00:03:56.860 That's the game, and I want every American out there that's listening to understand, they don't give a damn about you.
00:04:02.340 They don't care if your kids starve.
00:04:03.720 They don't care if our women and our children get raped. 1.00
00:04:05.720 They just want power.
00:04:07.240 They want to hang on to that power, and that's why you have the Newsoms.
00:04:10.280 That's why you have Obama PACs sitting there flipping out because they've lost more voters for the path to power. 0.95
00:04:14.880 And that's the part where the interviewer tells Fetterman, Schumer says the longer this goes, the more they win.
00:04:22.500 And Fetterman's like, I'm not trying to play a scoreboard game here.
00:04:25.640 By the way, pull up the Kristi Noem Robb, the 6,000 Social Security given to the terrorists.
00:04:30.680 I don't know if you guys saw this one or not, so check this out.
00:04:33.600 So, wait a minute.
00:04:34.940 Who got Social Security?
00:04:36.240 People on which list?
00:04:37.560 Watch this, folks.
00:04:38.380 I'm sure that individuals who got Social Security numbers in this country should be using them for the right things,
00:04:49.680 and they shouldn't be on our benefit programs.
00:04:52.620 You know, we have over 6,000 individuals that have been identified through their work already
00:04:57.400 that have been on the terrorist watch list, that they are known criminals.
00:05:01.240 How does that happen, Madam Secretary?
00:05:03.080 How does that happen?
00:05:04.280 It happens when you put a train wreck like Joe Biden in the White House,
00:05:07.400 and it's going to be a lot of work to clean it up.
00:05:09.380 But just in the last four and a half years, we've had over 9 million people get Social Security numbers
00:05:15.940 that are not U.S. citizens.
00:05:17.660 So they may be people who have some sort of legal status, but a lot of them are illegals 0.70
00:05:22.340 that were given a Social Security number in just the last four and a half years
00:05:26.120 that we're going to have to figure out if they should be here, if they are here legally under a program.
00:05:30.760 And if they are here illegally, then they certainly shouldn't be using that Social Security number 1.00
00:05:35.500 to be on our programs, and they should be removed or given the opportunity to go home on their own.
00:05:40.900 That's the one thing President Trump would like, is everybody to be given the opportunity to go home
00:05:45.040 if they would wish to.
00:05:46.660 So you see this.
00:05:47.880 You know what the average person's taken, Rob?
00:05:49.500 If you want to pull up that last one that I got here on the 25% of Haitian immigrants are on SNAP,
00:05:53.440 45% of Afghan immigrants are on SNAP, 52% of Senghalese immigrants are on SNAP.
00:05:59.720 Watch this one here.
00:06:00.440 Go ahead, Rob.
00:06:02.380 25% of Haitian immigrants are on SNAP.
00:06:05.460 45% of Afghani immigrants are on SNAP.
00:06:08.640 52% of Senghalese immigrants are on SNAP.
00:06:11.880 We are redistributing the wealth away from productive Americans to foreigners 1.00
00:06:16.720 and subsidizing their way of life, and that is unacceptable.
00:06:20.560 And I'll tell you the truth, Carl, in 2024, there was a big tent coalition because of President Trump
00:06:25.520 that voted away mass migration from the southern border.
00:06:29.020 But in 2026, there's going to be an even bigger tent that says any type of immigration,
00:06:33.860 whether it's legal or illegal, it has to stop.
00:06:36.560 You cannot come into our country, impose your belief system, and force us to pay for your way of life.
00:06:42.020 Amen.
00:06:42.780 Okay.
00:06:43.100 By the way, if you're watching this, folks, and you live in America, and you have a job,
00:06:47.900 you're paying for this.
00:06:48.900 Yep.
00:06:49.120 I just want you to know this.
00:06:50.580 Yep.
00:06:51.160 Because I know, you know, it's not like everybody that watches PBD Podcast agrees with us,
00:06:56.700 or you're on our side, or this or this or that, or, you know, some of you guys watch it
00:07:00.560 because you can't stand what we stand for.
00:07:02.860 You can't stand what we stand for.
00:07:04.580 And I respect the hell out of you.
00:07:06.040 They still continue watching this stuff.
00:07:07.400 But odds are, those who watch our content have jobs.
00:07:13.020 Because it's so annoying to listen to us if you don't have a job.
00:07:17.260 Can you imagine?
00:07:18.020 I cannot imagine sitting there watching this show if you don't have a job or if you don't contribute to society.
00:07:26.740 How long could you take that?
00:07:28.120 Why are you putting yourself through that, right?
00:07:30.320 So what's the point?
00:07:31.540 So we may disagree.
00:07:32.880 Well, you know, Israel, you know, Muslim, but you definitely are a worker if you watch this podcast.
00:07:38.340 If you're working, you live in America, you're funding this.
00:07:40.680 Are you okay with that?
00:07:41.640 That percentage?
00:07:42.780 Yes.
00:07:43.740 You wonder why a lot of people are sitting there saying, what the hell are you doing?
00:07:47.100 Did you hear Cuomo this morning losing it?
00:07:49.780 Talking about what happened to the Democratic Party?
00:07:52.440 Talking about what happened to you guys, you know, and what things people did?
00:07:56.620 You wonder why people are sick of, Tom, you good?
00:08:02.180 Were you doing something?
00:08:03.280 Did you hear that sound?
00:08:04.040 Oh, yeah.
00:08:04.720 You wonder why people are just, yeah, some of the stuff that's going on and they're sick of it.
00:08:08.780 There's a reason for it because it's becoming more radical.
00:08:12.060 That's it.
00:08:13.040 Okay, look at this.
00:08:14.400 He's talking about the Democrats are forced and are choosing to join the extreme left without calling them out.
00:08:21.080 Go ahead, Rob.
00:08:22.140 You're killing your party.
00:08:24.900 You're killing your party.
00:08:26.980 And look, I hope it works out for you.
00:08:28.580 I hope you guys splinter off and become, you know, whatever you really are because you're not a capitalist and you're not a Democrat.
00:08:37.100 And, you know, you can say, well, what do you know?
00:08:38.780 I was raised by a real one.
00:08:41.380 I was raised by a real one.
00:08:43.280 Go ahead and criticize Mario Cuomo.
00:08:45.420 What's going to be your biggest insult?
00:08:47.360 That he spawned me and Andrew?
00:08:49.760 Is that going to be the best you have?
00:08:51.180 Because you ain't shit compared to him.
00:08:53.960 Not in terms of intelligence.
00:08:55.580 Not in terms of success.
00:08:57.040 Not in terms of pedigree.
00:08:58.360 Not in terms of philosophy.
00:08:59.820 Not in terms of mission.
00:09:01.200 Not in terms of eloquence.
00:09:02.700 Not in terms of charisma.
00:09:04.180 Not in terms of anything.
00:09:06.340 Certainly not electability.
00:09:07.460 You are killing your party because you are not a real one.
00:09:14.420 Because you're doing what's good for you in a vacuum with your little social media following.
00:09:19.200 When he says you're killing your party, though, isn't he?
00:09:21.940 He's a Democrat.
00:09:22.760 So he's killing our party.
00:09:24.260 He is officially a free agent and he considers himself an independent is what he considers himself.
00:09:33.220 He's one of those that left the Democratic Party and became independent, I believe.
00:09:38.120 Remember, he didn't vote for Kamala.
00:09:39.960 No, I know he didn't.
00:09:40.680 But when do you think this happened?
00:09:42.680 Oh, right after the CNN stuff.
00:09:44.400 Stuff with his brother.
00:09:45.200 And he walked him and he went through the whole bad season that he was at it.
00:09:48.900 No, that was a season.
00:09:50.180 But, Brandon, how are you processing all of this yourself?
00:09:53.420 So I think a good way to think about it in regards to the snap payment stuff, I mean, like, everybody hates paying taxes.
00:09:59.360 But when you get taxed, just imagine 70 percent of that goes to people who might not even be part of the country, people who don't work by choice because they know that they have entitlements coming to them.
00:10:08.940 So, I mean, how productive is that for a country that wants to be the best possible country?
00:10:13.680 If 70 percent of the money that gets taken from us just gets thrown to people who are going to spend on frivolous things that don't work, that are perfectly capable of working.
00:10:21.420 I mean, I don't find that good or optimal.
00:10:23.500 I think one of the saddest things in the world is wasted potential.
00:10:25.900 And there's an infinite amount of wasted potential for the United States.
00:10:29.040 Like, think about where we could be if we treated the money, like, the tax revenue of the country the way that, like, a business treats investment money.
00:10:35.420 If you're spending it towards good return on investment things instead of just, like, making it a marketing pitch to attract people from other countries to come here and leech off of us so that a certain party could stay in power.
00:10:47.520 That's how I'm processing that.
00:10:48.840 And then with the Cuomo stuff, I don't think he's a complete independent guy, just like his brother.
00:10:55.320 I don't think he's completely independent, even though he's running as an independent.
00:10:58.200 I think, like, he started off trying to run as a Democrat in the primary.
00:11:01.240 But I know we'll get into that later.
00:11:03.420 But that's what I think of the—
00:11:05.000 You don't think Cuomo—you don't think Andrew Cuomo is a capitalist?
00:11:11.520 He doesn't act like one the way that he runs the city.
00:11:15.880 The way he runs the city?
00:11:17.200 Yeah, when he was governor.
00:11:18.400 Oh, the state, you mean?
00:11:19.340 All right.
00:11:19.840 Yeah, I mean the state.
00:11:20.980 Well, I mean, he was pro having Amazon come in and bring in those 25,000 jobs.
00:11:25.880 He was pro for some of that stuff.
00:11:27.660 Yeah.
00:11:28.080 But I don't know—I think what I'm getting from them right now is how far left the Democratic Party is going, and they don't know what to do.
00:11:38.080 Here's what happened.
00:11:38.900 Listen, every size was pretty much sold out, including the white that's not even here yet.
00:11:43.560 Okay?
00:11:43.860 Every size.
00:11:45.040 For black and brown, the only thing that was left was 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, and 11.
00:11:50.060 The only sizes that the shipment goes out today.
00:11:52.140 Your order today gets shipped out today.
00:11:54.100 Those are the only sizes that are left for black and brown.
00:11:57.000 Rob, can you go to black, if you don't mind?
00:11:59.680 If you go on black, can you officially order size 7 and 8 or not yet?
00:12:03.620 No.
00:12:04.060 Click on it?
00:12:04.640 Not yet.
00:12:05.280 Okay.
00:12:05.660 So, officially, the only sizes that we have left are 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, and 11.
00:12:11.080 But I believe that effective here in the next 24 hours, okay, you can go place the order now because I was under the impression that it was already up, Rob.
00:12:22.360 Oh, it is.
00:12:23.040 I just refreshed.
00:12:23.620 Okay, so that's what it is.
00:12:24.580 You don't refresh it.
00:12:25.240 Oh, all of them?
00:12:25.860 Here's the good news.
00:12:26.660 The good news is folks came back and they said, Pat, can we get 7, 7 1⁄2, and 8 1⁄2?
00:12:33.080 Guess what?
00:12:33.540 We officially bought the mold for 7, 7 1⁄2, and 8 1⁄2.
00:12:37.740 It's going to be done by November 17th.
00:12:39.500 We're building the actual mold for 7, 7 1⁄2, and 8 1⁄2.
00:12:44.040 You can officially order all the sizes, the 7, 7 1⁄2, 8, 8 1⁄2, 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, 10 1⁄2, 11, 11 1⁄2, 12, and 13.
00:12:51.600 Some of the ones are going to come to you first week of February or first week of January.
00:12:57.800 Some are December.
00:12:59.120 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, and 11 will be right away.
00:13:01.440 But the reality of it is it sold out ASAP.
00:13:05.260 And the feedback we're getting with the people that are wearing their shoes on a daily basis,
00:13:09.060 everywhere I'm going, I'm seeing fans like, Pat, look what I'm wearing.
00:13:12.020 Look what I'm wearing.
00:13:12.600 Look what I'm wearing.
00:13:13.160 Look what I'm wearing.
00:13:14.080 It's great to see people are loving their shoes as much as we're wearing them.
00:13:16.920 If you haven't yet seen the ad, Rob, can you pull up the ad real quick for us to tell you the story of the FLBs?
00:13:21.280 And we'll get right into the podcast.
00:13:22.560 Go ahead, Rob.
00:13:23.660 When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:13:29.160 we had the choice to make it fast.
00:13:31.500 We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:13:33.460 We chose neither.
00:13:35.140 Instead, we chose Tuscaneiro.
00:13:37.140 We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:13:42.360 We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:13:46.760 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:13:50.440 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:13:53.980 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:13:58.240 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
00:14:06.060 We spent a lot of time on these shoes, and if you haven't yet ordered it,
00:14:09.940 the comparable to it is, think about the same factories pretty much that make a lot of these other shoes,
00:14:14.820 the Gucci's, the Zenia's, the Ferragama's, Berluti's, the FLB's, same type of leather.
00:14:19.840 We're talking about high-quality leather, premium, laceless, craftsmanship.
00:14:24.760 The only difference is it's the only one in the world that has the super foam technology,
00:14:28.940 similar to what OnCloud and Hoka has, making the shoe light and comfortable to wear.
00:14:33.780 However, when you wear it once, you're going to want to wear it all the time.
00:14:37.340 And again, for some of you that are saying,
00:14:38.960 man, I wish I would have had seven and a half, I wish I had had eight and a half,
00:14:41.780 order it now so you're guaranteed to get shorts to come in.
00:14:44.960 And who knows, some of them may come in earlier, but go to vtmerch.com,
00:14:48.740 place your order with the shoes.
00:14:50.200 Cannot wait to see you wear it.
00:14:51.300 And by the way, when you do get them, put them on, take a picture, tag us.
