00:00:00.000 U.S. goal-card scheme, a hit. Trump's top official says, I think it's Lutnik, says 1,000 sold in a day.
00:00:09.200 And that was a $5 million goal-card, guys. Watch this here. Go for it, Rob.
00:00:13.720 Speaking of potentially great ideas, can you tell us about the Trump card?
00:00:17.540 Sure. So...
00:00:19.180 Whose idea was that? And how did that come about?
00:00:22.340 John Paulson had a call with Donald Trump and was talking to Donald Trump
00:00:28.140 and was kicking around the idea of, we should sell, right?
00:00:33.140 Why do we give away visas? We should sell them. 1.00
00:00:35.220 And they're talking about it. Donald Trump calls me, gets me on the phone, right?
00:00:40.220 We all talk about it, right? And then we go from there.
00:00:43.720 And then my job is to figure out, like I always figure out, how to do it.
00:00:48.660 What's the path? Let's go figure it out.
00:00:50.700 Of course. About two weeks from today, it goes out.
00:00:55.960 But, okay, Elon's building me the software right now, right?
00:01:00.300 And then out it goes.
00:01:01.540 And by the way, yesterday, I sold 1,000.
00:01:05.120 Oh, you did?
00:01:05.820 I got a poly market I created on how many of you guys are going to sell this year.
00:01:09.380 Cool.
00:01:09.760 Yeah, curious to see how many.
00:01:10.860 That's fantastic.
00:01:12.620 Yesterday, I sold 1,000.
00:01:14.900 No, 1,000 at 5 million.
00:01:17.380 That's $5 billion in one day.
00:01:19.780 Tom, thoughts?
00:01:20.400 Well, I think that everybody's saying, oh, you know, you're out there just selling out the USA.
00:01:30.160 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:01:31.480 Let's go back to the facts.
00:01:33.400 There are a ton of countries that have been selling you a second citizenship for money.
00:01:39.840 It's been going on forever.
00:01:42.680 That's right.
00:01:43.000 And you can go get it.
00:01:44.640 You can get a second citizenship for Belize, for Costa Rica, and for a lot of weird small countries all around the globe.
00:01:51.980 And it costs you money.
00:01:54.300 And then Trump says, wait a minute.
00:01:57.240 You know what Trump thinks of the United States?
00:02:01.400 Park Place.
00:02:02.900 We are Boardwalk and Park Place.
00:02:05.140 So why don't we make a gold visa and charge $5 million for it and see how many people in the rest of the world want to come here?
00:02:15.620 And by the way, and before they even come here, they give $5 million to our government.
00:02:19.500 I love it.
00:02:20.260 By the way, do you know how long it would take to, at the long-term capital gains rate, you know, they would have to earn as citizens to get $5 billion to the IRS?
00:02:29.760 How much?
00:02:30.260 It's 20% capital gains.
00:02:31.700 They'd have to make $100 million so that you could come back.
00:02:37.300 You see that?
00:02:38.200 Yeah.
00:02:38.880 There you go.
00:02:39.780 And so I think this is great.
00:02:42.840 And as long as you're doing background checks and double-checking that who is actually buying this, you're letting people buy it here the same way people have been buying around the world.
00:02:51.780 Is there a limit of how much they're saying that they're going to sell?
00:02:54.840 I mean, you can't just say it's open for everybody.
00:02:57.660 Well, I mean, even if you sell $100,000, $100,000 is not a lot.
00:03:01.200 $100,000 at $5 billion.
00:03:03.400 Is what?
00:03:06.120 I think it's half a trillion dollars.
00:03:08.340 So if $1,000 is $5 billion, $10,000 is $50 billion, $100,000 is $500,000.
00:03:14.300 They would have to sell a million at $5 million to get $5 trillion, which they're not going to get to a million.
00:03:19.360 But if they get to it, even this basic membership of a town, obviously the background check stuff you've got to go through, our cigar lounge, a couple things about the cigar lounge.
00:03:28.600 Guess what?
00:03:29.020 Everybody goes through a background check and nobody can take their cell phones inside.
00:03:32.760 Wow.
00:03:33.280 Everybody.
00:03:33.500 So if you go there and you see another person who's a member, background check, no cell phones.
00:03:39.140 No one's going in our cigar lounge and going like this.
00:03:41.460 Yeah.
00:03:41.740 Hey, you know.
00:03:42.880 Good.
00:03:43.720 No one's doing that.
00:03:44.520 You can't do that.
00:03:45.160 There is no.
00:03:46.960 Photography.
00:03:47.520 Boardroom cigar lounge.
00:03:48.460 Yeah.
00:03:48.660 I mean, right.
00:03:49.040 Everybody applies.
00:03:49.900 They submit the application.
00:03:51.020 Somebody calls them.
00:03:51.740 They do an interview.
00:03:52.380 They do the background check.
00:03:53.240 Then they send the payment.
00:03:54.940 And, but yeah, I'm assuming they're going to do the same thing with the $5 million.
00:03:58.240 Adam, do you have any thoughts on this?
00:03:58.920 How many people do you think around the world can afford $5 million and what kind of net
00:04:03.100 worth do you need to have in order to pay $5 million for a gold card?
00:04:09.400 Right.
00:04:09.700 But no, I got that part.
00:04:10.840 But I want to know like, how many do you think, like, what does your net worth need to be to
00:04:14.540 say, all right, here's 5 million.
00:04:17.320 Like, it's not going to be 6 million.
00:04:19.040 No, no.
00:04:19.220 Like, is it 10 million?
00:04:20.620 I think it's 100 million.
00:04:21.820 So $100 million.
00:04:22.540 I think if you're 50 million of liquid cash or investable cash that you have, if you put
00:04:27.040 10% of it and you know the country is going to be growing, maybe 50 million plus.
00:04:32.140 So where do you think, like, I have, I actually think this is a good idea, but I don't stop
00:04:36.620 at, hey, great idea.
00:04:38.060 Go get them.
00:04:38.540 It's like, all right, what countries are they coming from?
00:04:41.780 What's the vetting process?
00:04:43.800 You know, I'd be very curious.
00:04:45.260 Are they coming from China?
00:04:46.260 Are they coming from Saudi Arabia?
00:04:48.160 Are they coming from Venezuela?
00:04:49.280 Like, where are they coming from?
00:04:50.680 And are these people, like, if you have $100 million, you know what you got?
00:04:57.500 You got options.
00:04:59.120 You could go to San Tropez.
00:05:01.060 You can go to, you know, Dubai.
00:05:02.880 You can go anywhere you want in the world and buy citizenship.
00:05:05.400 So I'm wondering why the U.S.
00:05:07.320 Do they really need this?
00:05:08.520 It's interesting that they're doing this.
00:05:09.660 I think it's a great revenue generator.
00:05:12.060 You know, if you kind of just like juxtapose what Trump said in his first political speech
00:05:17.100 when he came down that escalator with Melania, and he says, Mexico, they're not sending their
00:05:21.280 best, their drug dealers, their rapists, and I guess some are very fine people. 0.94
00:05:27.320 But now, look who's coming through this country. 1.00
00:05:30.540 Like, coming through the border, not exactly the greatest people in the world.
00:05:35.480 What's the group from Venezuela that he's all going against?
00:05:37.780 Tres de Agua.
00:05:38.200 Tres de Agua.
00:05:39.180 And now he's basically bringing in the, arguably the best, the brightest, the richest around
00:05:44.720 the world.
00:05:45.080 I think it's a great idea.
00:05:46.060 I just want to understand who these people are, because think about it.
00:05:50.860 If you're China, you're like, yo, here's a couple billion bucks. 0.98
00:05:53.920 Go ahead.
00:05:54.500 Go buy U.S.
00:05:55.700 citizenship.
00:05:56.460 Wink, wink.
00:05:57.500 And then go get to work for us.
00:05:59.420 There needs to be a strict vetting process.
00:06:00.960 Oh, yeah.
00:06:01.140 I mean, I think the background check is absolutely, it's amazing.
00:06:04.460 And by the way, the border, nobody's coming to the border right now. 1.00
00:06:07.400 That shit is shut down. 1.00
00:06:09.080 Period. 1.00
00:06:09.560 Tom, to Adam's question there, world census data says there are approximately 3 million
00:06:15.960 people in the world with a $50 million net worth.
00:06:20.880 50.
00:06:21.760 That's a big number.
00:06:22.700 That's a lot.
00:06:23.980 3 million with 50, and they only got 1,000 of them so far.
00:06:28.160 So that means there's plenty of market left for it.
00:06:29.900 And what do they put it at?
00:06:30.740 The EB-5 program is capped at $10,000 per year with $3,000 reserved for investment in high
00:06:35.840 unemployment areas.
00:06:38.060 Okay.
00:06:38.440 There you go.
00:06:39.120 Let's see what happens with it.
00:06:40.120 All right.
00:06:40.640 I get a lot of minutes, a lot of questions about people telling me, Pat, you know, I'm at a
00:06:44.240 point in my life where, you know, I just can't find myself to get to the next level.
00:06:48.820 My life is good.
00:06:49.620 My wife is good. 0.88
00:06:50.420 My family is good.
00:06:51.220 My this is good.
00:06:51.840 But I'm just having a hard time getting out of bed.
00:06:54.480 I'm having a hard time being fired up.
00:06:55.700 I'm having a hard time identifying what I need to do next.
00:06:57.880 And I tell them, every single one of them, I said, get off this Manect, go order the 1.00
00:07:02.500 book, Choose Your Enemies Wisely, read it, Manect me back when you finish the book.
00:07:06.560 You'll see why.
00:07:07.500 The book was specifically written.
00:07:10.080 When I wrote this book, I wrote it because over the years I've done a lot of business plans
00:07:13.400 for a lot of different people.
00:07:15.020 And I noticed there's 12 blocks that you need.
00:07:17.380 Six of them are emotional blocks and six of them are logical blocks.
00:07:22.540 Most people do business plan, not only one or the other.
00:07:25.920 It's either only focus on emotions, dreams.
00:07:28.020 Why?
00:07:28.480 It's either only focus on logic.
00:07:30.660 This book breaks down all the 12.
00:07:32.240 If you've not yet read it, this is the National Reading Month.
00:07:36.220 Place the order, sign copy.
00:07:38.420 And if you order it now, I believe the first hundred are getting these Choose Your Enemy
00:07:42.540 Wisely custom mug that will be sent to you as well.
00:07:46.600 On top of the free bookmarks of Choose Your Enemies Wisely that will come your way as well.
