00:00:00.000 What is gerrymandering? What is redistricting? Why are people losing their minds in the state of Texas?
00:00:08.640 You have the governor, state of Texas. What's his name? Governor Abbott. Greg Abbott.
00:00:14.040 Goes out there and they announce that they're going to be redistricting.
00:00:17.960 And they're going to, a lot of people, they're gerrymandering, they're redistricting.
00:00:20.400 And then it goes to vote on the Senate seat, which I believe it's 31 senators, state senators in Texas that have to vote for it.
00:00:31.280 They vote 19 to 2. Nine Democrats are not even there. They left.
00:00:38.720 Many of them went to Illinois. Some of them went to Massachusetts. Some of them went to New York.
00:00:42.240 They're complaining about what's going on in the state of Texas.
00:00:46.840 By the way, it was their duty to appear and vote. It was their duty to appear and vote, and they didn't.
00:00:51.980 So is that, like, meaning, is it an arrest? Oh, let me tell you what happened.
00:00:55.080 So first of all, Governor Abbott. What would happen if the cops go on strike?
00:00:57.560 Cops can't go on strike. These, your elected officials went on strike.
00:01:00.740 They went on strike. They left. Okay.
00:01:02.560 One of the ladies even said this is, you know, Hochul called this, I mean, she went off saying things.
00:01:08.580 One of the representatives even called this, you know, the Holocaust is what she called it.
00:01:13.800 No, I'm not even, Jolanda Jones. Can you type in Jolanda, Jolanda Jones, Rob?
00:01:19.400 Jolanda Jones called it a Holocaust. Is that Jolanda Jones?
00:01:22.320 Yes.
00:01:22.720 Okay, watch this one here. This is what she called it. Go ahead. 0.99
00:01:25.420 And then integration happened, and everybody thought they accept us. They don't accept us.
00:01:29.580 They are showing us who they are. We should believe them.
00:01:32.380 And we better have the courage to stand up. Otherwise, we will fall for anything.
00:01:35.920 And in this country, we will be defeated, deported. I mean, we will lose all of our rights.
00:01:42.100 Okay, fear porn.
00:01:42.760 And if you think it can't happen, you can.
00:01:44.160 And I would like it.
00:01:44.980 A fake joy read to the Holocaust. 0.95
00:01:47.840 She's criticizing citizens of Texas that elected her.
00:01:51.100 Okay, so check this out.
00:01:52.040 You got elected. They don't hate you. There's some number of them who elected you, woman.
00:01:55.320 Tom, we got it. So she says Holocaust.
00:01:58.320 Jasmine Crockett is worried because one of the seats could potentially get her to lose her seat. 1.00
00:02:03.780 So then last night they vote.
00:02:06.120 And when they vote, it comes out that Texas Senate approves the new congressional map ordered, they say, by Trump.
00:02:15.240 This is obviously not coming by Trump, but they're calling it order by Trump because a lot of people are saying they're doing this right before the midterms
00:02:22.420 because they're worried Texas could go blue and may as well do it now before it's too late.
00:02:26.640 So Texas Senate approved the new congressional boundaries on Tuesday with a vote of 19 to 2, aiming to secure five additional Republican seats in the House for the 2026 elections
00:02:37.420 as pushed for Donald by Donald Trump.
00:02:40.060 That's what they're saying.
00:02:40.600 But House Democrats' absence from Austin has stalled the Texas House from approving the map for over a week.
00:02:47.300 Nine Senate Democrats walked out the caucus.
00:02:49.960 And then Senate Democrats labeled the map unconstitutional, but Senate Phil King argued no one has presented data or, frankly, any compelling case
00:03:00.420 that this map violates any of the applicable laws as the Senate votes proceed.
00:03:04.960 Now, this is the part to keep in mind.
00:03:06.760 So let's talk about what's gerrymandering and redistricting.
00:03:09.080 The way to look at it is if you go to, Rob, go to Illinois districts in 1950, okay?
00:03:17.240 If you go to Illinois districts in 1950, okay?
00:03:20.160 And if you just type in images and you go to it, yeah, go to the one on the top left, the first one that you have.
00:03:27.340 That's what it looked like.
00:03:28.420 And if you zoom in, this is the part that people are kind of, zoom, if you can, okay.
00:03:32.680 Do you see how it makes sense?
00:03:33.960 Because they're all within the same community.
00:03:36.020 You see how all the purple is together?
00:03:37.640 The light blue, it's all together.
00:03:39.800 The brown, it's pretty much, it's the same community.
00:03:42.560 This is what it used to be back in the days.
00:03:45.400 And what does this mean, Pat?
00:03:46.140 Not to cut you off.
00:03:46.920 So these are Republicans and Democrats are all different?
00:03:48.920 Each of these districts have a representative.
00:03:49.960 Okay.
00:03:50.280 It could be a Democrat or a Republican.
00:03:52.280 Got you.
00:03:52.760 But this is 1950, what Illinois looked like.
00:03:56.080 Can you pull it up today?
00:03:57.440 And each district has roughly the same number of people.
00:03:59.720 That's why you have small ones in cities, big ones rural.
00:04:02.640 It's about the same number of citizens.
00:04:04.420 This is the districts today, if you come to it.
00:04:06.800 And if you can do me a favor, for Illinois, go to District 3.
00:04:12.760 I think it's District 3, Illinois, District 3.
00:04:17.060 It could be District 3 or 7.
00:04:18.260 And District 9.
00:04:19.900 Yeah, they call it the earmuffs.
00:04:21.440 Type in Illinois District earmuffs.
00:04:26.380 Yeah, earmuffs.
00:04:27.380 Watch this.
00:04:28.000 Go to images.
00:04:29.680 So you notice what you just saw.
00:04:31.700 Okay, click on that.
00:04:33.060 Vinny, that's now a district.
00:04:34.500 What?
00:04:34.800 Yeah.
00:04:35.360 So that's called gerrymandering.
00:04:37.360 So what they do is they split it up to take things like, let's just say if that place
00:04:42.740 is too much Republican in one district.
00:04:44.400 Okay.
00:04:44.800 And the representative in that area could end up being a Republican.
00:04:47.700 They'll split it into different districts to have the Republicans be the minority of 0.65
00:04:52.800 another district.
00:04:53.400 So intentionally lose.
00:04:54.400 So is that cheap?
00:04:55.160 They call this gerrymandering.
00:04:57.260 The same thing happened in Maryland, Rob.
00:04:59.060 If you go to Maryland District 3.
00:05:00.780 Can you look at Chicago 9 real quick?
00:05:02.420 Yeah, we'll go to that as well.
00:05:03.340 Go to Maryland District 3.
00:05:04.500 Democrats are smart, huh?
00:05:05.600 So go to 7, Rob.
00:05:09.140 Go to Maryland District 7.
00:05:10.500 I just want to see.
00:05:11.080 It's one of the two.
00:05:12.720 There's another one that is extremely weird.
00:05:16.560 We'll show some of these to you guys.
00:05:17.900 Okay, look at that one right there.
00:05:19.140 Do you see how it's cut?
00:05:20.560 Yeah.
00:05:21.280 It's cut intentionally that way to hurt some of the folks that, like, imagine you cut
00:05:26.420 a Republican county, a community in a certain way to hurt them.
00:05:30.440 You do it this way.
00:05:31.640 Then you win.
00:05:32.320 So now, while we're going through the history of gerrymandering and how this whole thing
00:05:37.120 came about, this goes all the way back to 1800s.
00:05:39.140 There was a governor, I think the governor of Massachusetts, his name was Elbridge Jerry.
00:05:44.620 Rob, can you type in Elbridge Jerry, G-E-R-R-Y?
00:05:50.920 There you go.
00:05:51.740 So this guy is the first guy that understood what redistricting was, and he built a district
00:06:00.800 that looks like a salamander. 0.65
00:06:02.140 So type in Elbridge Jerry Salamander.
00:06:05.680 He's the first guy that did it, and he was part of the Democratic-Republican party.
00:06:10.180 Back in the days, it was a Democratic-Republican party.
00:06:12.600 Go on the top left.
00:06:13.660 That's the district.
00:06:15.120 He drew that district.
00:06:16.880 Oh, scary.
00:06:17.580 Do you see how he drew that district?
00:06:18.620 He drew a dragon?
00:06:19.660 What did he do?
00:06:20.040 That's a salamander. 0.97
00:06:21.660 The name came from Jerry, and salamander, they called it gerrymandering.
00:06:27.180 This is how the name came about from the 1800s.
00:06:29.960 So it became a brilliant strategy for a lot of people to use, to hurt the opposing party,
00:06:35.360 to eliminate competition, to be able to push whatever policies you want.
00:06:39.240 And in a lot of cases, they say there's three reasons for it.
00:06:42.220 Some of them, they do it because it's bipartisan.
00:06:46.320 Both sides are like, I think this is fair.
00:06:47.840 It's okay.
00:06:48.220 It's fair for everybody.
00:06:49.420 Some are partisan.
00:06:50.920 And some of them, they're like, look, whether you care for it or not, we're doing this anyway.
00:06:53.520 So this is called chaos.
00:06:55.740 Newsom responds at Trump yesterday, multiple times.
00:07:00.460 I think, is this the clip about him talking about, but this is different, Rob.
00:07:03.600 This is, oh, is this it?
00:07:04.960 Yeah, this is where it says fight and fire.
00:07:06.480 Okay, go for it, Rob.
00:07:07.380 Go ahead.
00:07:08.420 Hey, President Trump, it's time to stand down.
00:07:10.860 It's time to make another phone call to Greg Abbott.
00:07:13.720 This time, instead of calling him and telling him you're, quote, unquote, entitled to five congressional seats,
00:07:19.380 it's time to tell him to stand down.
00:07:21.980 It's time to recognize that democracy is at risk.
00:07:26.440 It's time to, dare I say, do the right thing.
00:07:28.520 Actually, see how that feels for you, doing the right thing.
00:07:32.720 If you don't, California will neutralize anything you do in the state of Texas.
00:07:37.280 California will continue to punch above its weight.
00:07:40.200 We believe in democracy.
00:07:41.420 We believe in the enduring values of our founding fathers.
00:07:46.000 249 years.
00:07:47.060 We're not going to sit back passively.
00:07:48.400 You can pause it right there.
00:07:49.180 We're not going to sit back.
00:07:49.960 So that was yesterday.
00:07:51.100 Then there's another one.
00:07:52.360 He puts a second threat, which, Rob, if you can go.
00:07:54.640 California will fight fire.
00:07:55.860 Fire is probably not the metaphor that Gavin Newsom wanted.
00:07:59.620 That's true.
00:08:00.120 That's a good idea.
00:08:00.700 So, Rob, go to X real quick.
00:08:02.620 So if you go to X right there, that's his last one.
00:08:05.180 Tick tock Donald.
00:08:06.580 Texas governor demands.
00:08:07.860 California governor demands Texas redistributing push threatens ballot measure.
00:08:12.020 So that's the second one.
00:08:13.520 Now, before I go into anything else, I'm going to pause here.
00:08:17.500 Tom, I'm going to come to you here.
00:08:18.540 What are your thoughts with everything that's going on with redistricting and gerrymandering?
00:08:23.680 I have a bunch of other thoughts on this, why this is so important.
00:08:26.500 But what are your thoughts on this, Tom?
00:08:27.780 Well, welcome to the sausage making that is American politics.
00:08:31.540 You have right now Gavin Newsom using it to step up and do a peer leadership, a peer presidential, and to do this to put himself in the spotlight.
00:08:44.060 California was already doing it.
00:08:45.580 California Democrats were already moving, and Schiff was worried about it because of what was happening in San Diego and Orange County.
00:08:53.480 And if we were to look at how San Diego and Orange County voted in the presidential election, you can see, and the central states, just get all of them.
00:08:59.860 And the California district map, blue-red for the 2024 election.
00:09:05.440 And you'll see, California was already on red alert because they're entitled – yeah, see, take a look at what was happening here.
00:09:13.040 The entitlement that the Democrats felt in California was already under threat.
00:09:16.800 No, Rob, go on that one right there, right there.
00:09:18.600 Watch this.
00:09:19.680 Look at the last 20 – look at the last four years, Vinny.
00:09:22.540 So red is Republican.
00:09:23.560 Red is Republican.
00:09:24.880 Blue is Democrat.
00:09:25.580 Look what's happened the last four years.
00:09:26.760 Go ahead, Tom.
00:09:27.200 Perfect.
00:09:27.740 And so the Dems were already in red alert saying, what are we going to do about this?
00:09:32.340 Because their concern was Orange County and San Diego going red.
00:09:36.620 Their concern was like, wow, no, wait, wait, wait.
00:09:38.520 We got real areas here.
00:09:40.020 We need to redistrict these because we can neutralize the 54 percent red by just moving it around, gerrymandering. 0.95
00:09:46.180 They were already going to do it.
00:09:47.720 And then Texas, you know, had its moment and everything, and that became very public as they ran off so that they didn't have to vote and everything, abdicating their responsibility.
00:09:58.140 And now Gavin Newsom says, we will fight fire with fire.
00:10:02.640 And I've already said that's the wrong thing he should be saying.
00:10:04.920 But he's already getting ready to do, because of that, what he's already accusing the other side of doing.
00:10:13.080 But they're both doing it.
00:10:14.640 And in my view, this gets a little crazy because both sides can be accused of putting their thumb on the scale.
00:10:21.360 Both sides can be accused of doing this.
00:10:25.020 And this isn't where the fight should be.
00:10:27.840 I think the fight should be over issues.
00:10:29.840 I think Newsom—
00:10:31.080 There's a problem there, Tom.
00:10:32.720 You know what the problem is?
00:10:33.960 There is no federal jurisdiction on gerrymandering.
00:10:37.040 That's exactly right, which means—
00:10:38.660 It's state by state.
00:10:39.620 Did you understand this?
00:10:40.600 Like, Vinny, both states can do this forever, and the government has no say in it.
00:10:47.020 Nothing.
00:10:47.440 That's not right, though.
00:10:48.700 It's not about that.
00:10:49.540 That's not right.
00:10:49.840 They built it this way, and this Elbridge—
00:10:52.240 Jerry figured it out, and others said, well, listen, if he can do it, I'm going to do it.
00:10:55.400 Yeah, of course.
00:10:56.060 So you essentially prevent the other side of winning your state in a long time.
00:11:01.820 Like, it becomes mathematically impossible for you to win.
00:11:04.460 And by the way, the Dems like to talk about threat to democracy.
00:11:07.460 What about those areas and around air muffs that now feel underrepresented?
00:11:11.900 They can't win.
00:11:13.020 They can't get the guy elected.
00:11:14.400 So you have a community that 60% wants to elect somebody.
00:11:19.840 But they are manipulated with other voters, so another 60% becomes 42%.
00:11:24.660 Do you see what happens?
00:11:25.880 They keep diluting it.
00:11:27.100 It's like water.
00:11:28.620 Here's hot water. 0.93
00:11:29.440 And they just keep diluting it with ice from other areas.
00:11:31.640 This is—so the bad part of gerrymandering is Texas has to do it to block what California
00:11:37.680 is doing, and that is the order that it's happening.
00:11:40.500 It's not Texas instigating right now.
00:11:43.180 This was—California was already starting it because the California Dems, led by Schiff 0.85
00:11:47.860 and Newsom, were like, hey, man, we got to do something.
00:11:51.480 The Reds coming.
00:11:53.300 So redlining, gerrymandering, redistricting, this whole conversation is coming up.
00:11:59.560 I think I remember learning about this like in eighth grade.
00:12:02.160 So what happens is this.
00:12:05.180 Every 10 years, they do a census.
00:12:07.180 So, Vinny, you've been sort of on the move on what's going on?
00:12:11.400 What illegal immigrants coming through?
00:12:13.400 Because the census, there's more people, more districts.
00:12:15.620 What's going on here?
00:12:16.500 So every 10 years, they do a census, and where they end up are in certain districts.
00:12:20.860 So every congressman or congresswoman has their district, their quote-unquote neighborhood
00:12:26.100 that they're representing.
00:12:27.660 So gerrymandering—imagine we have a pizza party.
00:12:30.440 We order a pizza.
00:12:31.100 You're with me?
00:12:31.780 Yeah.
00:12:32.200 And typically, all right, I get a slice.
00:12:34.420 PBD gets a slice.
00:12:35.340 You get a slice.
00:12:36.380 Rob, obviously, is going to get two slices.
00:12:38.480 Tom gets a half a slice.
00:12:39.680 He's low-carb.
00:12:40.760 But now it's redistricting and gerrymandering.
00:12:44.500 He's like, I'll take my slice.
00:12:46.140 I'll take some of your pepperoni.
00:12:47.900 I'm going to take the mushrooms off Tom's pizza.
00:12:50.740 I'm going to throw in some crust.
00:12:51.900 You're like, what happened to my slice, buddy?
00:12:54.180 That's exactly what's going on here.
00:12:56.100 Rather than everybody getting a slice, redlining is like, certain people can't even get a slice.
00:13:01.540 F you, F you, you're cool, you can eat.
00:13:04.280 And then redistricting and everything that's going on here is basically throwing pepperoni,
00:13:09.940 throwing mushrooms around.
00:13:11.120 The point is this.
00:13:12.240 It's ugly.
00:13:12.900 It's messy.
00:13:13.380 It's musical chairs with your votes, and everybody gets a seat in this world.
00:13:17.400 Are they ever going to change?
00:13:18.040 Like, is there any way to change this legally, Pat?
00:13:20.200 So here's the problem with this.
00:13:23.100 So I looked up to see how often you can gerrymander, how often you can redistrict.
00:13:29.140 That's what my next question was going to be.
00:13:30.540 So when you get the census every 10 years, 2020, they give the new census.
00:13:35.640 Some states, you can only gerrymander or redistrict once a decade.
00:13:40.340 And it's like six states.
00:13:41.320 North Carolina is one of them.
00:13:43.180 And it's a few states that you can do it only once every 10 years.
00:13:47.300 Once you do it, it stays like that for 10 years.
00:13:49.620 Okay.
00:13:50.040 And of course, there has to be a vote.
00:13:51.660 And bipartisan, both sides have to agree to it.
00:13:54.560 Some states, yeah, right there.
00:13:55.840 You see, North Carolina can only do it once.
00:13:58.260 Some states, you can do it as many times as you want, Vinny.
00:14:01.420 There's no jurisdiction on how often you can do it.
00:14:03.760 You can gerrymander two times, three times.
00:14:06.200 Again, there is no federal jurisdiction on this, of what can happen with it.
00:14:13.280 Now, the problem with this is the following.
00:14:15.360 Here's California.
00:14:16.580 California's got 52 representatives.
00:14:18.700 Okay.
00:14:19.140 Out of the 52 representatives, do you know how many of them are Democrats?
00:14:23.000 40.
00:14:23.440 43 are Democrats.
00:14:25.400 Nine are Republicans.
00:14:27.020 83.7% of California is Democrats.
00:14:30.820 And then you got the 17%.
00:14:32.660 He's threatening Newsom to take it from 17 to 8 is what he's threatening to do.
00:14:38.840 He being Newsom.
00:14:40.100 Newsom with Republicans.
00:14:41.320 Because imagine you got a Jasmine Crockett that may lose her job, which is what just happened right now. 1.00
00:14:45.760 She literally may lose her job. 0.99
00:14:47.000 There may be a Republican representative that's got a lot of voice in California that's annoying to people like Newsom,
00:14:53.320 who may also lose his or her job because of what Newsom could do.
00:14:58.620 Then Pritzker goes on Kristen, what's her name?
00:15:03.960 Kristen Welker from MSNBC.
00:15:06.100 And Kristen Welker, as well as Stephen Colbert.
00:15:08.700 Both call him out.
00:15:10.080 Both of them call him out.
00:15:10.860 Oh, really?
00:15:11.040 Oh, of course.
00:15:11.720 By the way, he looks a little skinnier.
00:15:13.380 A little bit.
00:15:14.040 Watch this here.
00:15:14.760 Go ahead.
00:15:15.100 Go ahead.
00:15:15.560 Look, sticking on your state's map, every major group that grades the fairness of congressional maps
00:15:21.580 gives your state an F, common cause and nonpartisan government watchdog,
00:15:26.980 even says your map, and I'm going to quote,
00:15:29.160 represents a nearly perfect model for everything that can go wrong with redistricting.
00:15:34.480 And I guess the question is, you talk about preserving democracy.
00:15:36.980 How do you preserve democracy if you're using the same tactics that you've criticized Texas Republicans for?
00:15:42.720 But as I say, what they're talking about is a distraction.
00:15:48.240 The reality is that the violation of people's voting rights is what Texas is attempting to do.
00:15:54.420 That's what's wrong with their efforts right now.
00:15:57.180 And the fact that the president of the United States knows it and nevertheless is asking them to do it.
00:16:03.200 That is what's wrong with what we're seeing right now.
00:16:06.480 Democracy is at stake.
00:16:08.440 And these Texas Democrats are standing up to what the GOP is at stake.
00:16:14.720 This is J.B. Pritzker doing his Kamala Harris impersonation.
00:16:18.880 Do you know what his number is?
00:16:21.120 Do you know what his number is?
00:16:22.140 For Illinois?
00:16:23.100 Illinois.
00:16:23.500 Illinois is 84% Democrats, 16%, 15% Republicans.
00:16:31.160 They have a monopoly on this conversation here.
00:16:34.500 California's got a monopoly.
00:16:37.540 Illinois's got a monopoly.
00:16:38.920 But some people on the Republican side also have monopolies.
00:16:41.520 It's not like this is just a thing that's going on on the left.
00:16:43.420 It's something that goes on on both sides.
00:16:45.220 But this conversation is leading to Florida jumping in.
00:16:48.740 And Florida says, look, if you guys are doing it, we may jump in as well.
00:16:51.560 Now, Florida's saying, you know, a story comes out with Axios.
00:16:57.760 Florida looks to join Trump's redistricting push.
00:17:01.040 Rob, I don't know if you have this video or not.
00:17:03.880 Florida jumps in.
00:17:05.380 Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez announced last week he will create a select committee to consider drafting a new congressional map aligning with President Trump's call for a decade redistricting with Governor Ron DeSantis supporting the effort.
00:17:18.680 Is this it, Rob?
00:17:19.220 Go for it.
00:17:19.620 Yes, this is DeSantis talking about the voter flop here in Florida since 2020.
00:17:23.720 Go ahead.
00:17:23.980 If you had to put a number on it, how many seats do you think Republicans might pick up if, in fact, there was fair redistricting?
00:17:31.060 I don't know, because I think Florida, our Constitution limits, you know, you can't draw snake districts in Florida.
00:17:39.820 They've got to be normal-shaped, compact districts, which I think is great.
00:17:43.660 But I will tell you this.
00:17:45.380 When I got elected governor in 2018, there were 300,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.
00:17:50.580 Today, there are 1.3 million more registered Republicans than Democrats.
00:17:57.440 The state has grown by many millions of people.
00:18:00.700 Wow.
00:18:01.020 Got to give him credit on what he's done with that.
00:18:02.460 So, Tom, I'll give you the final thoughts on this year before we move on to the next story.
00:18:05.520 I think Florida's got a sensible Constitution that says let's not be ridiculous.
00:18:10.100 I think that's what the governor just said.
00:18:12.340 And so I think either we need a federal control or we need the states to voluntarily do this.
00:18:18.500 But guess what?
00:18:19.440 The home of political corruption, the OG of political corruption, has been Chicago and Illinois.
00:18:25.060 Oh, yeah.
00:18:25.560 If you just go look up the history of America and elections, Mayor Daley and the machine that was there and corruption,
00:18:32.300 and it would represent upsetting the apple cart and just redrawing everything.
00:18:36.820 But I think what people fail to see, the screaming blue states that are talking about this, Pat, are losing citizens.
00:18:43.900 And they're going to lose representatives and they're going to lose electoral votes anyway.
00:18:48.060 Yeah.
00:18:48.300 And so the people that are crying are the people that are losing citizens by their own policies.
00:18:53.920 And I think America needs to look at that.
00:18:56.380 Let's take a look at where people are moving to.
00:18:58.760 Yeah.
00:18:59.140 August 27th.
00:19:00.680 At our property here, okay, in a hangar, at our property that we have in Fort Lauderdale,
00:19:06.380 our headquarters, we're holding a special networking opportunity.
00:19:10.620 A lot of you guys keep saying, Pat, I want to come see the property.
00:19:13.960 I want to come see the property.
00:19:15.320 Most people don't know this.
00:19:16.260 We're building the biggest futsal field right now that is 3,000 square feet bigger than the biggest futsal field,
00:19:23.820 the traditional ones that you see.
00:19:25.320 We're building one right now.
00:19:26.300 What's a futsal field?
00:19:27.460 Futsal field.
00:19:28.500 Anyways, the people that know, they know.
00:19:29.980 I don't understand.
00:19:31.560 Yeah.
00:19:31.800 No, no, no.
00:19:32.320 Listen.
00:19:32.960 So we're building it here.
00:19:34.000 We're doing a bunch of different things on our property.
00:19:36.380 We want to give some of the people an opportunity to come and see the property.
00:19:39.540 And some of you guys, I want to give you a tour when you come down here.
00:19:42.160 So here's what we're doing.
00:19:43.240 August 27th.
00:19:45.000 Anybody that's bought a vault ticket, that's going to the vault conference, that's out of South Florida,
00:19:50.800 you can be from anywhere if you want to come participate.
00:19:53.360 But specifically for the people that are in Florida, if you bought a ticket, general, you're invited.
00:19:58.840 Our team will give you a, you'll be able to network with others.
00:20:02.760 Platinum and executive ticket holders.
00:20:04.320 You're going to get a tour of the entire property.
00:20:07.660 Founder and CEO ticket holders, I'm going to give you a tour of the property.
00:20:12.880 Myself.
00:20:13.300 I'm going to show you exactly everything that we're doing here.
00:20:15.640 But you have to be a ticket holder.
00:20:17.600 And if you haven't bought the tickets yet, you have to see what we're going to have our center car outside the Formula One that we bought, the 1989 one.
00:20:23.660 We have a lot of things you'll see what we're doing behind closed doors.
00:20:26.400 This year's vault conference is going to be absolutely epic.
00:20:29.660 If you're somebody that's got big plans, second half of the, I keep telling this to people, do not go through this year by yourself.
00:20:36.880 This is the worst year to go into 2026 without getting the strategies that others are having.
00:20:42.640 By far the worst.
00:20:44.140 Whether it's AI, human nature, real estate, insurance, finance, raising capital, networking with others.
00:20:50.820 Myself, Tony Robbins, Martha Stewart, David Falk at the number one business conference of the year that teaches you what to do when you leave.
00:20:57.280 It's not like rah-rah motivation.
00:20:58.920 Here's how we do this.
00:21:00.020 300-page manual that will be given to everybody.
00:21:02.580 If you haven't yet bought your ticket, go to thevaultconference.com.
00:21:05.760 Buy your ticket.
00:21:07.100 Then, Rob, if you can put the link below for the people that have already bought a ticket.
00:21:11.200 Because you've got to register.
00:21:11.860 Because it's only for the first 200.
00:21:13.340 We're not doing it with 2,000 people showing up here.
00:21:15.940 First 200 register, locked in.
00:21:17.780 That's it.
00:21:18.180 Each person that bought a ticket, you'll get to bring one person with you to see the tour.
00:21:22.580 Whether they have a ticket or not, it's not a problem.
00:21:24.660 But the first 200 register, you'll be able to come join us.
00:21:27.000 You just have to prove to us that you bought a ticket and our team will verify that.
00:21:30.260 Rob, what is the link for them to go to register for this?
00:21:32.480 Is there a link that you have for it?
00:21:33.900 It's actually pinned inside of the chat on YouTube.
00:21:37.160 Okay, but is there a link for it for people that only listen to audio?
00:21:41.280 Like if it's in different places?
00:21:43.200 Not that I'm aware of.
00:21:44.200 I can look and find out.
00:21:45.200 Well, I would say maybe send an email to info at vt.com.
00:21:47.940 Send an email to info at vt.com and they'll send it back over to you.
00:21:50.840 But if you don't, it's a link on Spotify and on YouTube.
00:21:53.860 You'll be able to get to it to learn what that is all about.
00:21:56.700 I'm looking forward to seeing many of you here.
