Transcript
00:00:00.000
Marco Rubio comes out and it's announcement was made I want to say yesterday that moving forward
00:00:06.620
passport pictures you can do online you no longer need to go to CVS Walgreens or UPS to get your
00:00:13.220
pictures you can simply upload the pictures from the computer on your passport right there Rubio
00:00:18.540
plans to allow users to upload passport photos using their phones or computers okay uh here very
00:00:24.000
soon how do you feel about that Vinny what do you think about that I mean if there's anything there
00:00:27.880
that's concerning or do you like it i mean two things pat if the technology is up to par where
00:00:33.840
it's like you i'm just curious how are they going to prove that it's you especially when it comes
1.00
00:00:37.940
to international travel we're not we have enough problems with this country uh with people ids to
00:00:43.000
vote and all this stuff this is passport this is international travel i don't know i'm very curious
0.98
00:00:48.160
to see what the technology is going to be and how they're going to absolutely prove this is me on my
00:00:53.200
phone sending this to you and what system they're going to use because other than that i i don't
00:00:57.340
know it sounds kind of weird because we have to go right now you have to yeah i went last week with
00:01:01.460
with uh humberto pat you still have to go in there a guy has to come around put you in front of a
00:01:06.000
screen take a photo you can't wear a freaking white shirt and have to take it and print it and
00:01:10.200
you'd give it to you and you have to send it in it's all the system needs updating but i'm very
00:01:14.160
curious to see what this one's gonna well i think there's gonna be a high correlation i'll tell you
00:01:17.340
why your your face and likeness are tied to your id on multiple multiple multiple photographs
00:01:28.880
Because about half of the TSA have a photo screen right there
00:01:32.780
where you look and you don't even have to scan your boarding pass.
00:01:39.040
You look into the window and they say, yep, this is Tom.
00:01:46.020
And when you walk to TSA, you look there and they say identity confirmed.
00:01:51.060
So you people that travel, even if you only travel twice a year,
00:01:54.560
you went and saw your friend at spring break, and you went and saw your mom at Thanksgiving,
00:01:57.920
you are probably already in federal databases with your ID that was used to travel commercially.
00:02:04.940
And so a lot of that can be correlated. The devil's in the details, but I think that this
00:02:10.020
is great because it limits the federal bureaucracy a little bit, makes it quicker to update a
00:02:16.100
passport. I know this is a short story, but I won't go into it. But we went through 48 hours
00:02:22.180
No, no, 27 hours of sheer hell when Pat's passport was 179 days from expiring and he was going to Greece and Italy on a sales recognition trip from a previous company.
00:02:36.560
And they're like, I'm sorry, you're at 180 days or something.
00:02:50.640
I like this idea because I think the devil's in the details that there is going to be already correlation with the TSA travel.
00:03:01.040
But now I think the database is going to be used to correlate to ensure who's who.
00:03:06.060
The people that are voting, it's 50-50 saying yay, nay.
00:03:10.160
It's right in the middle, which, by the way, anytime it's 50-50, it's okay.
00:03:14.100
It's not something that, Adam, where are you at with this?
00:03:18.240
I would love to see the ability to do things from your phone with your two-factor authentication on your phone,
00:03:24.720
whether it's passport, whether it's voting, whatever it may be.
00:03:28.140
At the end of the day, listen, what Rubio has that I don't think a lot of other politicians have is
00:03:32.840
he has trust, he has credibility, and he has the authority.
00:03:36.460
So when he says, hey, I think we're going to do this, I think my gut instinct,
00:03:39.500
and I think a lot of people's gut instinct is like, yeah, I'm with Rubio on this.
0.96
00:03:43.100
Because I'm not saying he's perfect, but damn, is this guy good.
0.96
00:03:47.500
Ken Griffin just came out, and he said, if you have to choose between Rubio and Vance,
00:03:52.000
Ken Griffin is choosing Rubio, is what he just said yesterday.
00:04:00.540
He's the Chicago to New York to Miami Citadel CEO.
00:04:08.780
Parents, this is very important for you and I to think about.
00:04:12.120
There's a reason why I keep talking about the future looks bright.
00:04:18.580
A guy named Brian Diaz and Kerry Ressler did a study identifying to see if we pass our fears down to our kids without us even knowing about it.
00:04:28.640
So they took a group of male mice and they gave it acetophenone.
00:04:34.400
And every time, this is cherry blossom, you know, smell.
00:04:37.320
Every time they released this smell, they would zap them with this pain.
00:04:44.220
Five minutes later, they released that smell again.
00:04:50.100
And they kept doing this with only male mice they were experimenting on.
00:04:54.700
Eventually, they did this for a few days, maybe a week, week and a half.
00:04:58.600
Then they took those same mice that now have tied fear to acetophenol and the smell, cherry blossom.
00:05:06.740
Then they put it in a room for them to mate with female mice.
00:05:14.420
Then they take the mice, the male mice, the father, away from the baby.
00:05:19.380
Then they take the babies, and they put other female mice, and they mate.
0.97
00:05:23.840
Then they put the grandkids in a complete different thing.
00:05:27.800
The grandfather fears the smell of acetophenone.
00:05:37.180
The grandkids have never met grandfather before.
00:05:39.840
They put him in a place, and all of a sudden, they sprayed the cherry blossom.
00:05:50.140
because that fear from the grandfather had passed down to the grandkids.
00:05:59.020
Yesterday, we're at the beach, and I'm watching how happy Brooklyn is.
00:06:04.100
And in my mind, you're running all these issues in your mind.
00:06:08.720
You're kind of overwhelmed with all the stuff that's going on.
00:06:21.820
And then you start realizing we are all born with believing the future looks bright.
00:06:27.640
But if we're not too careful, we can pass down that fear to our own kids that can pass it down to their grandkids.
00:06:33.860
When people say, why do you believe the future looks bright?
00:06:37.980
I believe the future looks bright at the highest level.
00:06:40.060
