00:00:00.000 Sam, question for you.
00:00:01.900 From the last time you were here, I think it was two years ago.
00:00:04.820 Give or take two years ago.
00:00:07.440 At the time, it was probably a terrible season for Trump, I think we can say.
00:00:13.680 Trump wasn't having a lot of victories.
00:00:15.760 Trump was at a very low.
00:00:17.880 Republicans were not convinced that he could go.
00:00:20.300 Republicans were thinking it's probably going to be DeSantis or it's going to be somebody else.
00:00:24.540 There was a bit of a split in the Republican Party on the map.
00:00:27.380 I don't know.
00:00:28.120 Even when he opened up his announcement that he's running at Mar-a-Lago, there was not a lot of people there.
00:00:34.040 People were saying, I don't even know.
00:00:34.940 This person wasn't there.
00:00:35.680 That person wasn't there.
00:00:36.420 This person wasn't there.
00:00:37.760 And then you get these CNN polls.
00:00:39.700 Rob, if you can pull up the CNN video showing where the Democratic Party is at today, play this clip.
00:00:46.520 And I want to ask you, Sam, what happened to the Democratic Party?
00:00:49.320 Go for it.
00:00:50.760 Holy Toledo.
00:00:52.100 Voters' views of the Democrats in Congress among all voters disapprove.
00:00:56.140 68%.
00:00:57.020 And look at the approved number.
00:00:59.280 Just 21%.
00:01:01.040 Even lower than the Democratic Party at large.
00:01:03.740 This is the lowest on record for Democrats, according to Quinnipiac University polling.
00:01:08.140 You think these numbers are bad.
00:01:09.500 Let's go to this side of the screen.
00:01:10.960 We'll look how Democratic voters feel.
00:01:12.720 Get this.
00:01:13.220 The plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress at 49%.
00:01:18.580 And just 40% approve.
00:01:22.140 Horrible, horrible, horrible.
00:01:24.200 Oh, my goodness gracious.
00:01:25.320 You just can't get worse than these numbers.
00:01:27.700 And this is the number right here really driving all of this.
00:01:30.920 Democrats have turned.
00:01:32.260 If Democratic voters have turned on Democrats in Congress and the Democratic Party, that's what puts the numbers at historic lows.
00:01:39.100 What is it they want to be seeing, these voters?
00:01:40.400 What is going on?
00:01:41.660 I'll tell you what's going on.
00:01:42.760 They don't like what's coming out of some of those Senate Democrats like Chuck Schumer.
00:01:46.180 Because take a look at the direction of the party.
00:01:48.380 Democratic voters on Democrats in Congress doing too little to oppose Donald Trump.
00:01:52.480 Look at this.
00:01:52.900 77% should stay principled, even if it means nothing gets done in Washington, D.C.
00:01:59.560 65%.
00:01:59.960 And this 65% is such a difference from where we were in 2017 at this point, when just 33% of Democrats say they should stay principled, compared to 59% who said they want to compromise.
00:02:11.040 Democrats do not want compromise at this point.
00:02:13.340 They want a fighter.
00:02:14.180 They want to go into the ring like Muhammad Ali did against Sonny Liston.
00:02:18.080 They want to take down the Republicans.
00:02:19.760 They do not want this compromise anymore.
00:02:21.500 They want to be more like Republicans, get up to that stage and fight.
00:02:25.020 And right now they feel like their leaders in Congress are simply put not doing so.
00:02:28.340 And that is why their approval rating for congressional Democrats is at an all-time level, even among Democrats.
00:02:33.720 Rob, if you want to pause that.
00:02:35.000 Sam, what happened?
00:02:36.000 What happened to the Democratic Party?
00:02:37.200 Well, I should start by saying I always thought that Trump would be the nominee.
00:02:43.520 And two years ago I was wondering why Ron DeSantis was lighting his career on fire
00:02:49.760 by trying to run against Donald Trump, to be honest with you.
00:02:53.380 I think, you know, Trump and the Republican Party, I think they're one in the same.
00:02:57.860 And so that doesn't surprise me.
00:02:59.580 Those numbers are some of the most encouraging numbers I've seen in the 20-some-odd years I've been doing this.
00:03:07.640 Because I want to see it communicated to Democratic leadership that we want you to fight.
00:03:16.200 And I've been writing Chuck Schumer for, you know, 10 years trying to get him.
00:03:24.540 I mean, Harry Reid was a great, I think, as far as they go, leader of the Senate for Democrats.
00:03:29.880 But it is, I think it's time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.
00:03:36.260 We need a, and this is not even ideological from my perspective.
00:03:41.500 I think there are Democrats that I agree with and Democrats that I disagree with on an ideological standpoint.
00:03:49.180 But I think a different generation of Democrats understand that the Republican Party is in transit.
00:03:56.180 There is no negotiating with them.
00:03:57.940 I think the biggest thing that Joe Biden, the biggest mistake that Joe Biden made was following the American Rescue Act,
00:04:07.120 which was a massive boon to the American public.
00:04:11.920 We cut child poverty by 45% in a year.
00:04:16.820 I just want to repeat that.
00:04:18.640 We cut child poverty by 45% in a year.
00:04:22.800 And because of that, that act when Biden first got in.
00:04:28.800 And you know what Republicans were talking about?
00:04:31.780 After we, we passed bills that cut child poverty in a year, that extended unemployment benefits,
00:04:38.000 that provided food stamps, that provided health insurance.
00:04:43.220 Republicans were talking about two books that the Dr. Seuss publisher decided not to publish.
00:04:51.340 And so, in my mind, the Republican Party there is completely bankrupt of ideas.
00:04:58.620 And Joe Biden, instead of pushing through Build Back Better over that summer,
00:05:03.520 he opened the door for the Republicans to give a proposal.
00:05:06.880 That went nowhere for three months.
00:05:09.180 Then he opened the door for Kyrsten Sinema and Rob Portman to come in and give a proposal.
00:05:13.320 And that ultimately, I think, is when Democratic voters started getting impatient with Biden.
00:05:19.780 Because we were thinking $5 trillion, $4 trillion.
00:05:24.700 Joe Manchin was saying $6 trillion, Build Back Better bill.
00:05:29.180 And we never got anything like that.
00:05:31.660 It ended up getting split into the IRA, which was a good bill, but I think insufficient.
00:05:37.000 And then infrastructure stuff, also important, but insufficient.
00:05:41.340 And so, I think what you're seeing is frustration from Democratic voters who are saying,
00:05:46.700 A, you're not fighting.
00:05:48.480 B, you're allowing the Republicans too much opportunity.
00:05:51.640 Let me ask you this.
00:05:51.880 And C, we need more government intervention.
00:05:54.900 Do you think it's more that they're not fighting?
00:05:57.280 Or do you think that their policies are simply bad policies and they're not landing?
00:06:01.840 No, I think it's that they're not fighting.
00:06:04.240 What are their policies?
00:06:05.100 So, tell me what policies are, like right now, the Democratic Party.
00:06:10.160 Who is the face of the Democratic Party?
00:06:12.080 And what are the top three things you guys stand for?
00:06:15.300 Well, I don't think there is a face of the Democratic Party at the moment.
00:06:18.660 I mean, Chuck Schumer is nominally the, you know, the highest elected Democratic official that's out there.
00:06:27.440 That's not a good sign for you guys.
00:06:29.220 A hundred percent.
00:06:30.200 I agree.
00:06:31.060 I call for him to resign every day.
00:06:35.100 But I don't know that there is a single, I don't think the Democratic Party has coalesced around an agenda.
00:06:43.160 This is, we're having a, there's a fight within the Democratic Party.
00:06:48.380 Do you have someone you like that you would want to see?
00:06:51.980 Or do you want to see the capitalistic competitive philosophy of somebody just comes out and let's see who it is?
00:06:58.380 Because if there is, even you right now, Sam.
00:07:01.000 The capitalistic, I don't understand.
00:07:02.060 What I mean by capitalistic, like competitive.
00:07:03.900 Let's just see who comes out of the competition.
00:07:05.480 Competition predates capitalism.
00:07:06.980 Yeah, so that's good.
00:07:08.520 The competition is a good thing, right?
00:07:09.760 I mean, I think, yeah, obviously there's going to be a competition.
00:07:13.740 Is there anyone you like?
00:07:15.040 Well, I think there are policies that I like that are expressed by, like Sanders and AOC on their tour, their anti-oligarchy tour. 0.53
00:07:22.880 I mean, obviously.
00:07:23.480 I think there are other, you know, policies that are floating around that I don't know that they're necessarily embodied in politicians yet.
00:07:34.400 People are looking.
00:07:35.600 There's a lot of stuff that Tim Walz did in Minnesota that I think is great.
00:07:42.180 Putting the tampons in the bathroom, which was my favorite.
00:07:45.120 Putting it in the men's bathroom.
00:07:46.680 That was probably one of the best ones.
00:07:48.760 Because that's the type of policy that I think that we need in the country.
00:07:52.380 Tell me what Walz did that you liked.
00:07:55.440 Substantially, statistically, that Walz did.
00:07:58.480 I think things like lunches for kids, expanding educational opportunities.
00:08:07.080 Wait a minute.
00:08:07.460 There weren't lunches for kids?
00:08:08.760 There wasn't federal money from the Department of Education?
00:08:10.840 Free lunches for kids?
00:08:12.020 Yeah.
00:08:12.560 Okay.
00:08:14.060 What else?
00:08:15.820 No, let's go.
00:08:16.660 I really want to hear it because a lot of this was federal money that just floated.
00:08:20.860 I really want to know what was so substantial and during things.
00:08:24.140 Well, other states reject expansion of Medicare and Medicaid.
00:08:28.000 I should say Medicaid in Minnesota.
00:08:32.380 He provided for-
00:08:33.960 Expansion to who specifically?
00:08:36.200 Through the ACA, to people making 400% of poverty.
00:08:44.100 He's got-
00:08:44.980 Wait a minute.
00:08:45.340 Medicaid is designed, if I walk in with a broken leg, to a public hospital, right?
00:08:50.900 That Medicaid is there to take care of me if I'm destitute and unable to it.
00:08:55.360 That's a good thing.
00:08:56.980 And that's exactly the things that California did.
00:09:00.100 And that's-
00:09:00.900 It was already there.
00:09:03.340 What was expanded about that in Minnesota?
00:09:05.780 There, there, there's, it's, it's, you're expanding the pool of people who can access Medicaid on a state-by-state basis.
00:09:13.660 There's still, I don't know, half a dozen states, Republican states, that don't, don't allow that expansion of Medicaid.
00:09:20.620 Okay, so you just-
00:09:21.520 Are you not aware of that?
00:09:22.060 So you can, yeah, I am, I'm absolutely aware of it.
00:09:24.620 But what I want to ask you is when you expand the Medicaid, it is a fact that basically you closed the public hospitals.
00:09:31.900 And so what you're talking about, the things he did in-
00:09:33.920 That's not true.
00:09:35.120 Oh, yeah?
00:09:35.800 Ask Gavin Newsom.
00:09:36.700 Ask him what happened to King Drew in Los Angeles.
00:09:38.800 This is well-documented.
00:09:39.860 I'm, I'm, I'm stunned you to know that.
00:09:41.180 No, you can, you can do a choice if you want to close a public, I mean, Andrew Cuomo closed a lot of public hospitals in New York State.
00:09:49.000 That's not a function of Medicaid payments.
00:09:51.980 You want to go take a look at California and King Drew and what happened?
00:09:55.420 Gavin Newsom himself talked about it.
00:09:56.900 I'm not a fan of, of Gavin Newsom, but you're asking me about Waltz.
00:10:00.720 And, uh, no, we didn't ask about Waltz.
00:10:03.260 You were talking when you said you like some of the things he asked me what was in, what, what I like about Tim Waltz.
00:10:08.440 No, you said you wanted one of the specifics of the things that he did.
00:10:13.120 Right.
00:10:14.000 Okay.
00:10:14.500 So, but continue with, with the following, uh, uh, uh, Sam, if you don't mind, cause this is what I'm trying to find out.
00:10:19.780 Yeah.
00:10:20.220 So one, the Republican party, like you said, I knew two years ago that Trump would be a DeSantis, all this other stuff.
00:10:26.480 Right.
00:10:26.880 We were on the same page.
00:10:28.120 I, I thought it was going to be him, but a lot of Republicans were a little bit still staying safe and hesitant of whether they were going to go all in or not.
00:10:35.540 The first time you and I spoke, but today when I said, who do you like, what policies you said, I like what AOC is doing.
00:10:43.280 You said Sanders, anti-oligarchy, all that stuff, right?
00:10:46.000 I have a different, I think, uh, way of looking at politics maybe than you do.
00:10:51.840 It's not for me.
00:10:52.740 Like I, you know, if a candidate emerges, uh, who embraces a wider set of my preferred policies, that's the one I'll support.
00:11:02.600 I don't really get too involved in the, um, the, the, the individual, frankly.
00:11:10.780 I mean, you know, Joe Biden was not, uh, my favorite candidate by a long shot, uh, in 2020.
00:11:17.480 The fact that there were coalitions built out of Warren and, uh, Sanders supporters that ended up bringing us a much better, uh, set of labor policies than we've seen in my lifetime from my perspective, uh, with the National Labor Relations Board, with just the appointments of, of people like, uh, Abruzzo as the general counsel there.
00:11:42.920 Um, the, the, the extension of unions' ability to unionize and helping working people in that way.
00:11:51.820 And then the antitrust regime that, uh, was largely a function of, like, uh, the Warrenites putting in their people to, um, undermine big concentration of money and power.
00:12:06.200 Those are big positives.
00:12:08.020 So, you know, do I like Joe Biden?
00:12:10.140 No.
00:12:10.380 But I also know that if there are the right, uh, coalitions formed that, uh, that have, uh, uh, you know, influence within the context of an administration, that's good from my perspective.
00:12:25.820 Got it.
00:12:26.580 But to me, like running a business or politics, right, or it shifts when people all of a sudden look at you and they say, I don't like these ideas anymore.
00:12:37.980 So, in the, in the Democratic Party, you have a lot of different people that would have different policies.
00:12:43.600 Hey, I think we should do this.
00:12:45.560 And I think we should do that.
00:12:46.580 Great.
00:12:47.140 Obviously, it didn't land November 5th, 2024, whether it was Kamala Harris, whether it was the policies, whether it's seven states you lose, battleground states you lose, whether it's the majority.
00:12:55.340 It just, it was not, it was a bad loss.
00:12:57.500 It was a humiliating loss.
00:12:58.560 One could say it was Kamala.
00:13:00.360 One could say it was Obama.
00:13:02.420 One could say it was Biden stepping in.
00:13:04.020 One could say it's Schumann.
00:13:04.920 One could say it's Pelosi.
00:13:05.660 Let's set that part aside.
00:13:07.200 To me, the most basic part is ideas.
00:13:10.740 If someone has ideas that's producing results that people like, they want to continue that, right?
00:13:17.900 And, and we watched, like, if I ask a Democrat, even right now, I ask you for 15 minutes, I still don't know if Democrats know what they're for.
00:13:27.280 Like, what are their policies for?
00:13:28.060 Well, I'm not, you know, I'm not speaking for the Democratic Party.
00:13:30.020 I can tell you what I'm for.
00:13:31.080 Tell me what you're for.
00:13:31.820 Oh, I, I am for, uh, universal health care, single payer health care.
00:13:37.300 Yep.
00:13:37.720 I am for increased ability to unionize.
00:13:41.320 I am for, uh, decommodifying parts of the housing sector.
00:13:46.980 I am for decommodifying power.
00:13:49.700 I am for decommodifying access to the Internet.
00:13:53.840 Um, I mean, those are my big ones right there.
00:13:57.660 I think in your party is for that.
00:14:00.520 Well, who in the Democratic Party is for that?
00:14:03.460 I don't know that there's, um, anybody who, in our party, who embraces all of those.
00:14:10.440 I mean, that, that is a, you know, major political figure.
00:14:13.820 I mean, I think I'm to the left of the Democratic Party.
00:14:17.080 Um, but I think there are elements of what I want, uh, that are, are, are represented by people in the Democratic Party.
00:14:24.380 Um, I mean, I think having a, uh, a, a very jaundiced eye to the overwhelming concentration of wealth and wealth disparity, I think is a fundamental problem that we have in this country.
00:14:39.920 Um, I think too much of what happens in this country is a function of the concentration of wealth.
00:14:47.160 I mean, that's, gets back to why I want a, to return back to the tax regime we had in the 50s and the 60s, uh, where the top marginal rate was 90% for every dollar above what, in what today's, uh, money would be about $4 million.
00:15:05.380 So, and just to explain this, because I've seen so many people on the right not understand marginal tax rates, that it's almost disturbing.
00:15:16.780 The first million dollars that you earn is taxed at 32%, whatever the, the prevailing rate is.
00:15:25.920 The second $2 million, a million dollars you earn, 32%.
00:15:30.740 The third, 32%, because I think that's the highest.
00:15:33.920 Maybe it's 37% is the highest.
00:15:36.600 Once you get over $4 million, every extra dollar after that is not, is taxed at a 90% rate.
00:15:43.620 That's what you want.
00:15:44.580 That is what we had in this country for several decades in the post-World War.
00:15:50.700 But why do you think that's good, though?
00:15:52.240 Because we talked about this.
00:15:53.360 Why do you think that's good?
00:15:54.240 I'll tell you.
00:15:54.900 Because it flattens, uh, wealth disparity.
00:15:57.780 Okay.
00:15:58.000 And that is when you have the greatest expansion of the economy.
00:16:02.480 Right.
00:16:02.880 When the wealth of the country is shared by as many people as possible.
00:16:09.380 Obviously, it's not everybody gets the same amount, but...
00:16:13.440 Do you think that's a popular idea?
00:16:15.520 Do you think that, do you think 80% of Americans want that?
00:16:18.280 Americans want that? 0.99
00:16:19.440 I think if I was to show Americans, if I was to show Americans...
00:16:24.220 You've been showing for 20 years, though.
00:16:25.180 No, no, no.
00:16:25.480 Put up a graph of income disparity.
00:16:29.260 Right.
00:16:30.720 You put up a graph of income disparity.
00:16:33.500 Americans are shocked when they realize how much money is held by the top 1% in this country.
00:16:40.900 Really, the top 0-1% relative to the rest.
00:16:43.900 I mean, like, literally, a handful of families have more money and more wealth in this country
00:16:50.740 than 50% of the population.
00:16:52.740 But there's so many questions to that.
00:16:54.880 For me, the question is the following.
00:16:56.660 Here's where I'm trying to go with a guy like you.
00:16:57.860 You show that to 80% of Americans, and there's no questions. 1.00
00:17:00.980 You're just going to be like, what the fuck? 0.99
00:17:02.960 You know what else you can show? 1.00
00:17:05.140 You can't, because you're a guest.
00:17:06.880 But you know what else?
00:17:08.220 You can't.
00:17:08.860 C-A-N. 1.00
00:17:09.340 You can't.
00:17:09.900 You can't.
00:17:10.280 You're a guest.
00:17:11.360 So if you, somebody could go and say, okay, why don't you pull up who pays the most taxes
00:17:18.440 in America?
00:17:18.960 The top 1% pays 50% of taxes in America.
00:17:22.380 Okay.
00:17:22.840 So you can give that argument.
00:17:24.440 So to me, if we go back and forth, but this is the part I want to do with this specific
00:17:28.100 argument, this specific idea, where I want to go with a guy like you, okay, is I think
00:17:34.140 sometimes like the Democratic Party, you go to a message, and you know how Trump tests
00:17:40.360 things out.
00:17:40.780 Yeah, Greenland.
00:17:41.480 We go.
00:17:41.740 It's Greenland.
00:17:42.300 Greenland.
00:17:42.720 Greenland.
00:17:43.140 Greenland.
00:17:44.720 Greenland.
00:17:45.560 Yeah, Greenland.
00:17:46.440 It's going to be one way or another.
00:17:48.300 We're not going to go to war.
00:17:49.080 But one way or another.
00:17:50.020 Yeah, you know, third term.
00:17:51.440 I'm not talking about third term, but a lot of people are talking about third term.
00:17:53.980 Third term.
00:17:54.360 Third term.
00:17:55.880 Yeah, you know, Canada should just be a 51st state.
00:17:59.320 Governor Trudeau.
00:18:00.100 Governor Trudeau.
00:18:00.720 Governor Trudeau.
00:18:01.320 Governor Trudeau.
00:18:01.800 So Trump will throw these things out there, okay?
00:18:05.420 And then the market reacts to it, and the market will say, what the, what is he talking
00:18:11.000 about?
00:18:11.780 And then I believe, this is because, this is how I do it as a business owner, you kind
00:18:16.940 of, I'll be in front of, I'll never forget, one time I brought nine of my guys and I dropped
00:18:20.260 an ID on them.
00:18:21.320 You should have seen the reaction on everybody.
00:18:22.900 You know what the reaction was?
00:18:24.080 They looked at me like I was high.
00:18:26.460 They looked at me like I am on shrooms.
00:18:28.720 They're like, what the, Pat, respectfully, these are terrible.
00:18:31.800 Terrible ideas.
00:18:32.800 So you know what happens to a business owner?
00:18:34.240 They're so used to coming up with bad ideas.
00:18:37.120 What do they do?
00:18:38.000 They move on with bad ideas.
00:18:39.680 So to me, Trump gets up there and says, what do you think about this?
00:18:41.820 And then he looks, he says, okay, what's the guy that I respect?
00:18:44.780 Okay, this guy's pretty reasonable.
00:18:46.200 What did he say?
00:18:46.660 What did she say?
00:18:47.800 Okay, let's move on.
00:18:48.840 To the Democratic side, somebody like you.
00:18:50.960 But I would.
00:18:51.840 But let me just finish the point.
00:18:52.900 I'll come to you.
00:18:53.340 Trust me.
00:18:53.600 I want to hear from you.
00:18:54.600 To me, it's, I feel like the Democrats, like you, okay, you have a voice.
00:18:59.920 People watch you.
00:19:01.100 You're an influencer in your community.
00:19:03.000 And you actually have the ability to kind of go and help your community out, help your party out.
00:19:09.480 There are certain policies that you keep pitching that is no longer popular.
00:19:15.220 That's been exposed so many times because what we learned, like the biggest part why some of the conservatives like the Doge concept and some of the Democrats that like the Doge concept is it's government wasted expenditure.
00:19:29.660 Obama talked about it.
00:19:30.760 Clinton's talked about it.
00:19:31.760 People on the left have talked about it for many, many years.
00:19:34.000 And the average person watches this and says, okay, so after 4 million, you want to put the tax rate at 90%?
00:19:40.680 Yes, I do.
00:19:41.200 So, okay, so all you're saying is that the government knows how to use my money better than free enterprise?
00:19:49.260 I don't believe that.
00:19:50.440 Well, that's not the premise of why I want to do that taxation.
00:19:55.740 I mean, the government will redistribute the money.
00:20:01.100 That's no longer a popular idea in America.
00:20:03.840 I, I, I, I, I, that's the part where you see the young Turks kind of growing and evolving and seeing some of the ideas that kind of is not popular.
00:20:12.540 I, I, listen, the fact of the matter is government always redistributes money.
00:20:16.620 It always redistributes money.
00:20:18.960 Every government at every moment is redistributing money.
00:20:22.760 The question is, which direction is that money flowing?
00:20:26.680 That's it.
00:20:28.200 There is no doubt.
00:20:30.340 Governments redistribute money at every moment.
00:20:32.980 But the question is, which, which direction is it?
00:20:35.440 How successful are they at it?
00:20:35.940 What?
00:20:36.240 How successful have they been at it?
00:20:38.180 How good are they at it?
00:20:39.380 How much waste have they done with redistributing money?
00:20:42.140 Oh, there's no, listen, there's no doubt in my mind.
00:20:44.240 Like, look, we have a massive, massive military budget.
00:20:47.420 And if you want to look for waste and fraud in government, that is where you go.
00:20:52.120 That's where all the money is.
00:20:53.680 Everybody knows it.
00:20:54.840 There's an enormous amount of waste and fraud.
00:20:56.600 They can't even get through an audit.
00:20:58.060 How many audits has it been?
00:20:59.440 Half a dozen?
00:21:00.700 Seven.
00:21:00.900 Social security.
00:21:01.540 Yeah.
00:21:01.880 And they can't pass a single audit.
00:21:03.820 I agree.
00:21:04.220 Social security is audited all the time.
00:21:06.120 Do you know how much money?
00:21:07.420 Let's talk about this for a second.
00:21:08.680 I watched a video of you guys on the plane down of when Elon Musk was in Wisconsin blowing up his whole brand, essentially.
00:21:20.220 And he was on stage with a guy named Garcia.
00:21:23.200 Do you guys remember this video?
00:21:24.520 Of course.
00:21:25.020 Yeah.
00:21:25.180 Okay.
00:21:25.400 It was like two days ago.
00:21:26.720 Yes.
00:21:27.200 The social security numbers spiking in the last four years.
00:21:30.440 The social security numbers.
00:21:31.660 2.2 million new non-citizen social security numbers.
00:21:34.040 And the amount of misinformation from every single person, all of you, was astonishing to me.
00:21:42.940 What was it?
00:21:43.880 What was the misinformation that was said?
00:21:45.660 I mean, well, I almost feel like we should go through the whole video.
00:21:47.620 This is coming from a socialist.
00:21:49.260 No, no, no.
00:21:49.680 The level of credibility you have as a socialist is a system that has never worked.
00:21:54.160 Let me listen to you.
00:21:54.700 But I want to hear you.
00:21:55.320 But I want to hear you.
00:21:56.320 That is anti-Oligo-Oligo-Siri. 0.76
00:21:57.400 But I want to hear you.
00:21:58.060 I want to hear you.
00:21:58.680 I want to hear you.
00:21:59.380 Go for it.
00:21:59.760 First off.
00:22:00.520 Yeah.
00:22:00.720 You seem to not understand that these were not undocumented immigrants who were getting
00:22:08.640 these social security numbers.
00:22:10.380 They are non-citizens. 0.81
00:22:12.420 Now, when you came to this country, you were an immigrant.
00:22:17.200 Your parents came.
00:22:17.920 Legally.
00:22:18.360 Legally.
00:22:18.880 Right.
00:22:19.500 Every single one of those people who got those social security numbers are here legally.
00:22:24.940 They're not citizens, just like you weren't when you first came to this country. 0.90
00:22:28.580 Yeah.
00:22:28.740 You get a green card.
00:22:29.840 Your parents get a green card.
00:22:31.120 They go through a process.
00:22:32.300 Yeah.
00:22:32.560 All of those people.
00:22:34.480 And to understand, they got their social security card.
00:22:39.440 I really want to see your point.
00:22:40.340 Well, the point is, you referred to them as undocumented and illegal.
00:22:43.520 You did.
00:22:43.920 I said non-citizen.
00:22:45.020 Excuse me.
00:22:45.900 Don't say everyone here.
00:22:47.160 I said non-citizen.
00:22:48.500 Correct yourself.
00:22:49.200 I can't remember which one of you got it wrong.
00:22:51.600 I think you did.
00:22:52.200 Just be specific.
00:22:53.080 You're thinking, but I don't...
00:22:54.460 We can play the video and go through it, but...
00:22:56.740 I'm still trying to get to the point.
00:22:57.660 Well, that's the point.
00:22:58.440 Well, the point is, they're not illegal.
00:23:00.840 They're not undocumented.
00:23:01.800 They're all legal.
00:23:02.600 Right.
00:23:03.520 The expansion from that program, the EBE program, which is enumeration beyond entry, was started
00:23:10.560 under the Trump administration.
00:23:12.520 The numbers have gone up because, yes, under Biden, as opposed to Trump, there was an expansion
00:23:20.600 of people who we hear, like, you know, probably, I'm not sure...
00:23:24.220 No, no, a lot of illegals.
00:23:25.360 No, no, excuse me.
00:23:26.080 Ten-plus million record-breaking number of people came in.
00:23:29.980 Hold on.
00:23:30.400 You're changing the subject now.
00:23:31.660 No, no, I'm not changing the subject.
00:23:32.720 I'm talking about that video and every one of those Social Security numbers that was handed
00:23:37.200 out.
00:23:37.360 Let me finish.
00:23:38.000 Let me finish.
00:23:38.220 We want a million people to support the Future Looks Bright gear.
00:23:41.620 We are getting very close to it.
00:23:43.300 We got something unique that came in.
00:23:44.800 Just so you guys know, I only, and I mean I only, wear the Valuetainment wallet.
00:23:49.000 This is all I have.
00:23:50.000 I think Adam's the same as well.
00:23:52.360 But we got these new wallets, okay, that are RFID-protected wallets to have with different
00:23:58.400 Future Looks Bright signs on it.
00:24:01.560 Rob, if you can go through, we got the red one, we got the black one, if you can go to
00:24:05.740 the next, all the colors so they can see it, beige, blue, gray, brown, you name it, we
00:24:10.800 have it here.
00:24:11.340 Anybody that places an order with these RFID wallets, you're going to get a leather key
00:24:16.020 chain added to it with the Valuetainment logo design on it.
00:24:19.960 Again, you sport the brand, you follow what we do.
00:24:22.740 If you believe like we do that the Future Looks Bright, go sport the gear.
00:24:27.080 These will not last a long time, just like the leather backpack did it on Tuesday.
00:24:30.520 That thing went in no time.
00:24:32.260 Go place your order, carry your wallet with this RFID wallet protector, Future Looks Bright.
