00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:15.080
With seven weeks until the midterm elections, the fight to
2
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.100
secure how America votes has run into one wall after
3
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:23.640
the next. And as of last night, every major effort
4
00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:28.010
to change the rules of mail-in voting before November has
5
00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:33.329
come up short. Three fronts. Here's exactly where each one stands.
6
00:00:33.409 --> 00:00:36.679
Front one, the courts. And the biggest case of them all,
7
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.179
you might recall, on June 29th of this year, the
8
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.549
Supreme Court decided Watson versus the RNC a case. The
9
00:00:42.590 --> 00:00:45.490
Republican National Committee had fought for two years arguing that
10
00:00:45.549 --> 00:00:48.530
mail-in ballots must be received by Election Day, not just
11
00:00:48.609 --> 00:00:53.229
postmarked by it. Common sense, right? The RNC lost five
12
00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:56.399
to four. The court ruled states can keep counting ballots
13
00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:59.020
that arrive after Election Day as long as they're postmarked
14
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:03.710
on time. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority,
15
00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:07.790
joined by Chief Justice Roberts and the three liberal justices.
16
00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:09.060
Of course.
17
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.840
Thomas Alito and Gorsuch dissented. Those were the heroes in
18
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.599
this case. And so the roughly 15 states with grace
19
00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:20.400
periods that let them keep counting until whenever the result
20
00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:23.980
comes in, well, that stands. Now, here's front two. The
21
00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:27.269
president's executive order. Trump had ordered the Postal Service to
22
00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:31.209
overhaul mail ballots, barcodes on every envelope, verify voter list
23
00:01:31.269 --> 00:01:35.670
ballots going only to confirmed eligible voters. On August 24th,
24
00:01:36.189 --> 00:01:41.019
the court gave him a preliminary win. Things were looking up. No, no, no.
25
00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:44.599
Last night, it reversed course for this cycle, leaving a
26
00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:48.909
lower court block in place, 6-3, with only Thomas and
27
00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:54.829
Alito dissenting. Now, the reason given was timing. They said
28
00:01:54.849 --> 00:01:58.890
there wasn't enough time for states to comply before November,
29
00:01:58.909 --> 00:02:02.750
and the president's reaction, well, he's pretty ticked off, let's
30
00:02:02.769 --> 00:02:05.810
just say that. In a statement on Truth Social, he
31
00:02:05.849 --> 00:02:11.360
blasted the court directly, saying... Republicans just got another bad
32
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.939
decision from the United States Supreme Court. He blamed it
33
00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:17.639
in part on no time left to implement a solution
34
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.419
to our totally corrupt and out-of-control mail-in voting disaster. Justices
35
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.659
Alito and Thomas, legends, both strongly disagreed with this horrible,
36
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.969
highly political ruling. It is as big of a loss
37
00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:32.909
for Republicans and America itself, and it makes cheating by
38
00:02:32.949 --> 00:02:37.090
the radical left, Democrats, on mail-in ballots a much easier
39
00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:40.370
thing to do. These are not the people I interviewed
40
00:02:40.430 --> 00:02:45.050
to serve on the United States Supreme Court. The boss
41
00:02:45.370 --> 00:02:49.490
is not happy. That brings us to the third front,
42
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:51.509
the one that could still fix all of this, but
43
00:02:51.530 --> 00:02:55.099
it ain't gonna, the Save America Act. You know, the
44
00:02:55.150 --> 00:02:57.569
one that would have required proof of citizenship to register
45
00:02:57.590 --> 00:03:00.310
and photo ID to vote and also some mail-in ballot reform.
46
00:03:00.710 --> 00:03:03.939
It's passed the House like five times. Sits there in
47
00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:09.180
the Senate, dead, gathering dust, leaving that analogy alone every
48
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.840
time it goes to the Senate, short of the 60
49
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.129
votes to break a filibuster. And there is no sign.
50
00:03:15.669 --> 00:03:17.729
That is going to change anytime soon. So here's where
51
00:03:17.750 --> 00:03:22.750
things stand tonight. The RNCs, that case is lost. The
52
00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:26.569
executive order, blocked for this cycle at least. The Save
53
00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:33.539
America Act, stalled hopelessly. Which means November's midterms, the elections
54
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:39.000
that decide control of Congress, will run under essentially the
55
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.099
same mail-in rules as before. Not one of the changes changed.
56
00:03:44.689 --> 00:03:48.400
made it across the finish line. That's not good. Now,
57
00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:51.580
to break down where this actually leaves us seven weeks out,
58
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.020
let's bring in Josh Hammer, senior counsel with the Article
59
00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:59.039
3 Project. Josh, welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
60
00:04:00.539 --> 00:04:05.729
It just seems no matter where you turn, roadblock, roadblock, roadblock, hopelessness, hopelessness,
61
00:04:06.110 --> 00:04:08.090
and the president's right to be mad. We have to
62
00:04:08.150 --> 00:04:11.550
secure the mail-in vote. It's really the highest risk we
63
00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:14.250
have and the biggest opportunity we have for fraudsters, right?
64
00:04:16.009 --> 00:04:18.389
You know, David, in the first few months of this
65
00:04:18.550 --> 00:04:21.550
second Trump administration, I and my colleagues at the Oracle
66
00:04:21.550 --> 00:04:24.310
3 Project, we were talking about the judicial insurrection was
67
00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:26.350
a term that we used a lot of a little
68
00:04:26.410 --> 00:04:30.750
over a year ago. And I now have to openly speculate,
69
00:04:30.850 --> 00:04:34.399
you know, now here we are. Donald Trump's second term
70
00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:37.060
is hard to believe. It's almost halfway through, not quite,
71
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:39.600
but we're getting close to it. I have to ask
72
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.089
whether or not the judicial insurrection has ever been quashed,
73
00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:44.810
whether it has ever been taken care of, whether it
74
00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:48.069
is still acting up right before our very own eyes.
75
00:04:48.129 --> 00:04:50.709
And to make matters worse, as you correctly note, when
76
00:04:50.750 --> 00:04:53.180
it came to the Watson versus RNC case, the mail-in
77
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.040
ballot case at the Supreme Court, a tremendous disappointment, a massive,
78
00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:59.980
massive letdown earlier this year. Sometimes the judicial insurrection seems
79
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.000
to be happening not just in the lower courts, but
80
00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:03.060
actually also at the U.S.
81
00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:03.649
Supreme Court.
82
00:05:03.689 --> 00:05:06.410
Frankly, from some of Donald Trump's own nominees, like Amy
83
00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:09.430
Coney Barrett, who continues to to have a, shall we say,
84
00:05:09.569 --> 00:05:14.709
checkered or spotty track record. Sam Lito or Clarence Thomas,
85
00:05:15.209 --> 00:05:19.740
she is not. Now, listen, David, if I'm being honest here,
86
00:05:19.889 --> 00:05:22.920
I have heard from some conservatives in the states, some
87
00:05:22.939 --> 00:05:26.759
Republican officials and various state attorneys general offices, saying that
88
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:29.420
they also were skeptical that their own state, these are
89
00:05:29.459 --> 00:05:32.750
red states, had enough time to prepare for the U.S.
90
00:05:32.769 --> 00:05:36.089
Postal Service regulation. Here's my response to that. That may
91
00:05:36.110 --> 00:05:38.050
or may not be true. It'll depend on the state.
92
00:05:38.329 --> 00:05:41.189
But here's the thing. The thing is that the Article
93
00:05:41.189 --> 00:05:44.939
2 executive branch, the president and all of the cabinets,
94
00:05:44.949 --> 00:05:47.939
the agencies, they can make rules when something is within
95
00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:50.480
their legitimate jurisdiction. And last I checked, Article 1 of
96
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:54.730
the Constitution made very clear The federal government has the
97
00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:59.170
ability to control the procedures and times and all the
98
00:05:59.230 --> 00:06:03.750
various other nonsense and proceduralities when it comes to federal elections.
99
00:06:03.829 --> 00:06:08.129
So this USPS rule, to me, fell squarely within that,
100
00:06:08.209 --> 00:06:10.449
which is why you had people like Clarence Thompson, Sam Molino,
101
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.399
yet again, crying foul. But it's where we're at, and
102
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.459
it's where we're at. And as you correctly note, there
103
00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:19.360
is a panacea out there. It's called the Safe America Act.
104
00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:21.600
I saw Mike Johnson, the speaker, just talking about it
105
00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:24.449
yet again. Over the weekend, I'm not entirely sure that
106
00:06:24.470 --> 00:06:26.790
John Thune's calculus on that question has changed, but if
107
00:06:26.810 --> 00:06:30.889
there's going to be a hero, a knight in shining armor,
108
00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:32.550
so to speak, David, I suspect that it would be
109
00:06:32.610 --> 00:06:34.209
that to save America at this late juncture.
110
00:06:34.629 --> 00:06:36.310
Yeah, I mean, that's what we're all hoping for, but
111
00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:39.069
it's hopeless to hope for it, honestly, because nobody's going
112
00:06:39.089 --> 00:06:42.170
to expect anything to change this close. I mean, we've
113
00:06:42.189 --> 00:06:44.750
been fighting this thing for months, and I hate that
114
00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:48.050
that's the reality. I hate that I'm sitting here saying, yeah,
115
00:06:48.110 --> 00:06:51.310
I guess we just have to just deal with it.
116
00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:53.620
It stinks. But I want to go back to what
117
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.620
you talked about, the judicial insurrection, because it's such an
118
00:06:55.670 --> 00:06:58.670
important point. And I want to get back to it because...
119
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.980
Even though there's this divide in MAGA and people are
120
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.779
suggesting that President Trump hasn't done what he promised to
121
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.040
do and there's people saying he should indict more people
122
00:07:09.339 --> 00:07:11.300
and all these things that they keep laying at his feet,
123
00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:14.509
all this blame, this judicial insurrection you talk about has
124
00:07:14.589 --> 00:07:17.329
consistently blocked Trump from doing a lot of the things
125
00:07:17.350 --> 00:07:19.790
that he's intended on doing, whether it's accountability for some
126
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:23.009
of these folks under Crossfire Hurricane or the Russian collusion,
127
00:07:23.089 --> 00:07:24.970
all of these things. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE.
128
00:07:24.990 --> 00:07:26.230
I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE. YOU KEEP MEETING JUDGES
129
00:07:26.269 --> 00:07:28.800
AND PEOPLE SAYING THESE ARE REPUBLICAN JUDGES OR EVEN TRUMP
130
00:07:28.810 --> 00:07:31.079
APPOINTED JUDGES IN THE CASE OF SOME OF THESE JUSTICES.
131
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.379
BUT I REALLY FEEL LIKE THERE'S STILL THIS ANTI-TRUMP ESTABLISHMENT
132
00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:40.259
OUT THERE ON OUR OWN SIDE THAT HAS LIKE, AND
133
00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:42.790
MAYBE I'M SEEING THIS WRONG, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY
134
00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:46.069
HAVE BLOCKED THE PRESIDENT JUST AS SUCCESSFULLY AS THE LEFT
135
00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:48.029
HAS DONE IT AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING FOR ME TO SEE.
136
00:07:48.069 --> 00:07:49.790
AM I WRONG? AM I SEEING THIS INCORRECTLY?
137
00:07:54.250 --> 00:07:56.550
So even on the lawfare, on the indictments, as you
138
00:07:56.569 --> 00:07:59.689
correctly point out, we did see the tossing out of
139
00:07:59.730 --> 00:08:02.899
the indictments of people like James Comey, people like Tish James,
140
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.839
attorney general of New York State. So the president has
141
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.839
had virtually the entirety of his agenda, everything from immigration
142
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:14.389
to tariffs to lawfare and beyond. He has had it stopped.
143
00:08:14.829 --> 00:08:17.990
by lower courts and, indeed, the Supreme Court. And, yes,
144
00:08:18.029 --> 00:08:21.290
it is true that the least dangerous branch, Article 3,
145
00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:23.189
does have the power to serve as a check on
146
00:08:23.250 --> 00:08:24.550
Article 1 of the Congress and Article 2 of the
147
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:27.410
executive branch. It is also true that Donald Trump has
148
00:08:27.430 --> 00:08:31.180
been the victim of more so-called nationwide universal injunctions and
149
00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:35.330
various other similar procedural rulings. than all the other presidents
150
00:08:35.350 --> 00:08:37.669
in American history combined. That is just a fact. You
151
00:08:37.690 --> 00:08:38.169
can look it up.
152
00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:39.470
There are people who track this.
153
00:08:40.009 --> 00:08:43.210
And that's not just calling balls and strikes, to paraphrase
154
00:08:43.250 --> 00:08:45.980
John Roberts back at the 2005 Senate confirmation hearing. That
155
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.340
is putting an ideological thumb on the scales of Trump.
156
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.639
had to fight back against that. Listen, there's also the
157
00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:57.580
longer-term question of judicial nominees. Now, Donald Trump's lower court
158
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.899
picks in both his first term and his second term
159
00:09:00.230 --> 00:09:04.029
have been invariably phenomenal. There are very, very, very few
160
00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:06.610
Trump picks in the lower courts that I can identify
161
00:09:06.649 --> 00:09:07.809
and say that was a miss.
162
00:09:07.909 --> 00:09:09.029
There are a handful.
163
00:09:09.090 --> 00:09:13.409
It's really neither here nor there. Overwhelming success when it
164
00:09:13.450 --> 00:09:14.330
comes to lower courts.
165
00:09:14.649 --> 00:09:15.830
When it comes to the question of the U.S.
166
00:09:15.850 --> 00:09:21.190
Supreme Court, look, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett are just
167
00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:22.649
not Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito.
168
00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:23.370
They're just not.
169
00:09:23.409 --> 00:09:26.169
Kavanaugh, I tend to prefer slightly to Barrett, but really
170
00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:29.769
neither is batting at a high enough average. So there
171
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.200
are some things that we're still not getting right when
172
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:34.960
it comes to the absolute highest level of judicial nominations.
173
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.000
I thought there was a real chance that Sam Alito
174
00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:39.879
might resign this break. He clearly has decided not to
175
00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:41.580
do so. So we'll see if Donald Trump gets an
176
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.980
opportunity to nominate another justice to the high court. At
177
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.940
this point, it's entirely possible, frankly, that he doesn't. But
178
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.570
that will be another area to potentially try to remedy
179
00:09:50.669 --> 00:09:52.950
the ship of this judicial insurrection if we get that opportunity.
180
00:09:53.350 --> 00:09:53.570
Yeah.
181
00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:57.889
You know, I try not to sit back in the
182
00:09:58.269 --> 00:10:01.210
realm of sort of partisan, conspiracy and be like, oh,
183
00:10:01.330 --> 00:10:03.970
everybody is just, you know, it's just all against Trump.
184
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.669
But man, like you said, you see this happening and
185
00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:09.080
you're so frustrated because Barack Obama was basically able to
186
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:11.899
do whatever he wanted to do with his bench. And
187
00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:14.440
then you get Donald Trump and it's like every opportunity,
188
00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.240
like you said, national injunctions, the Supreme Court handing down
189
00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:19.600
decisions that make us go, what? The dissents making a
190
00:10:19.629 --> 00:10:22.159
lot more sense than the majority opinions. The three liberal
191
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.259
justices consistently holding to their ideology when the conservative justices
192
00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:28.860
keep breaking from it. It's very frustrating to me. It's
193
00:10:28.899 --> 00:10:30.679
frustrating to a lot of American people. And at the
194
00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:32.299
end of the day, this isn't about Trump. This isn't
195
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.100
about politics. This is about securing American elections. And like
196
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.720
you said, Trump has the ability to make rules in
197
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.559
his own executive branch. And it's not up to the
198
00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:41.490
Supreme Court to decide what the states can and can't
199
00:10:41.539 --> 00:10:43.929
do within reason. And so I don't think this makes
200
00:10:43.990 --> 00:10:46.250
a lot of sense. But look, we'll keep fighting. Josh Hammer,
201
00:10:46.549 --> 00:10:48.590
great takes as always. Thank you so much for being here.
202
00:10:49.149 --> 00:10:50.090
Always a pleasure, David. Thank you.
203
00:10:50.129 --> 00:10:54.899
Thank you. For three months, one of the most powerful
204
00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.730
men in the United States Senate. just kind of vanished.
205
00:10:59.269 --> 00:11:02.450
No one would say where he was, how's he doing.
206
00:11:02.490 --> 00:11:05.070
We had a couple of proof of life pictures. It
207
00:11:05.110 --> 00:11:07.470
led to some wild speculation with whether or not he
208
00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:11.190
was even still alive in some instances. But yesterday, yesterday,
209
00:11:11.269 --> 00:11:14.950
he showed up to vote. He's resurfacing. But there's still
210
00:11:15.029 --> 00:11:17.389
a lot more questions, and the story is far from over.
211
00:11:17.629 --> 00:11:19.600
We're discussing all of that right after the break.
212
00:11:27.990 --> 00:11:29.789

222
00:12:04.149 --> 00:12:07.269
Last night, we asked a pretty simple question, kind of
223
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:12.460
a ridiculous question. Where's Mitch McConnell? Will he be seen today?
224
00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:16.679
For nearly three months, the former leader of the Senate,
225
00:12:18.019 --> 00:12:20.409
he's probably one of them, at least was one of
226
00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:23.629
the most powerful men in Washington. He vanished from public
227
00:12:23.710 --> 00:12:28.200
view after a medical incident. He's calling it a fall. Now,
228
00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:31.679
he hasn't cast a vote since June. His office went
229
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.960
completely silent, except for those two proof-of-life pictures he got,
230
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.590
one with the newspaper. It was really odd. Now, tonight,
231
00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:43.370
we have an answer about Mitch McConnell's health. He appears
232
00:12:43.830 --> 00:12:47.490
to be back, ending all the speculation about Mitch McConnell.
233
00:12:48.389 --> 00:12:51.009
He was wheeled onto the House floor of the United
234
00:12:51.049 --> 00:12:55.350
States Senate. And he cast his first vote in 90 days. Now,
235
00:12:55.370 --> 00:12:58.590
in a Senate this closely divided, his vote was the
236
00:12:58.629 --> 00:13:01.840
deciding one, 47 to 46, to advance another one of
237
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.840
President Trump's judicial nominees. That's a win. Can't get upset
238
00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:08.799
with the man for that. In a statement, McConnell's office
239
00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:11.610
said his recovery has been, quote, well, they say he
240
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.570
said it, a long and often frustrating process made harder
241
00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:19.789
by the lingering effects of childhood polio that he survived
242
00:13:19.809 --> 00:13:23.269
decades ago. He admitted he's, in his words, still not
243
00:13:23.370 --> 00:13:26.779
quite back to 100%. He told his colleagues he intends
244
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.059
to be there for the tough votes when his conference
245
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.799
needs him. And to reporters waiting for him, he put
246
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.980
it plainly, time to get back to work. Finished a
247
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.700
job for this Congress. So the mystery's solved. That's it.
248
00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:42.470
He's alive. He's working, sort of. And the wild speculation
249
00:13:42.490 --> 00:13:45.049
that filled the vacuum these past three months can finally
250
00:13:45.090 --> 00:13:48.639
be put to rest, right? Well, sort of, because the
251
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.679
bigger question remains, how is his cognition? How is his health?
252
00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:57.700
Is simply being able to show up to vote smiling?
253
00:13:59.590 --> 00:14:02.409
Being propped up by the people who hold power just
254
00:14:02.450 --> 00:14:05.730
for the sake of the institution? Is that the principle
255
00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:08.970
this republic was founded on? The American people have every
256
00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:11.830
right to still ask these questions about the age, health,
257
00:14:11.870 --> 00:14:15.590
and fitness of the people who hold power over our lives.
258
00:14:16.649 --> 00:14:20.509
That's not being insensitive. It's accountability. Now, let's talk about
259
00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:23.889
where this story goes next here with Reaction Social Media Influencer.
260
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:29.500
Greg is fire. Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
261
00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:32.220
This story is the weirdest story. It is the weirdest
262
00:14:32.259 --> 00:14:35.480
story because we were doing yesterday, we were like watching
263
00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:37.460
a reporter staked out in front of his house. Real
264
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.080
question about whether or not he would show up. He did.
265
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.559
People are questioning whether or not he was alive. I mean,
266
00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:45.779
that's how crazy this story became. They weren't even sure
267
00:14:46.330 --> 00:14:48.009
what the status was of a U.S.
268
00:14:48.029 --> 00:14:48.269
Senator.
269
00:14:48.309 --> 00:14:51.250
And all we had was two stills. The weirdest thing ever.
270
00:14:51.269 --> 00:14:53.730
So now he's back. But, Greg, this doesn't put to
271
00:14:53.789 --> 00:15:00.190
rest the concern over, you know, the aging representatives of
272
00:15:00.750 --> 00:15:03.090
in Washington without term limits and whether they're representing the
273
00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:04.169
interests of their constituents, right?
274
00:15:06.809 --> 00:15:09.690
Yeah, we need term limits. I'm pretty sure Trump backs
275
00:15:09.750 --> 00:15:12.850
term limits too. I'm sure it's the senators who know
276
00:15:12.889 --> 00:15:14.669
they've made a fortune and they'll stay in there for
277
00:15:14.710 --> 00:15:17.500
as long as it takes. Look at McConnell, barely hanging on,
278
00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:21.080
but his wife's probably like, hey, look, you're cashing checks, honey.
279
00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:23.059
Let's just make it happen. He talks to him and
280
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.059
he's sitting there and he's probably not even making a
281
00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:27.600
noise or a peep. I was surprised to see him
282
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.490
come out of the vehicle this morning. Now, apparently he
283
00:15:30.570 --> 00:15:32.139
took a vote yesterday. Is that right?
284
00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:32.840
Yeah.
285
00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:33.539
Today too.
286
00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:35.500
He did take a vote.
287
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.000
Well, he was there to take a vote, but they
288
00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:39.059
couldn't get cloture. So he didn't have to vote, but yeah,
289
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.600
he took a vote yesterday. Actually he was deciding vote.
290
00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:42.570
So he's voting.
291
00:15:42.710 --> 00:15:42.889
Yeah.
292
00:15:43.309 --> 00:15:43.610
He's voting.
293
00:15:43.629 --> 00:15:43.710
Yeah.
294
00:15:43.730 --> 00:15:44.149
He's voting.
295
00:15:44.190 --> 00:15:46.529
I mean, that's, that's a good step. I think at
296
00:15:46.570 --> 00:15:48.970
this point, I think I heard that he missed 61
297
00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:49.470
roll calls.
298
00:15:49.990 --> 00:15:50.169
Wow.
299
00:15:50.309 --> 00:15:53.549
Over this time. I mean, and look, the money they're making,
300
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.419
the net worths, it's unbelievable. I don't care if you're
301
00:15:56.450 --> 00:15:59.230
Republican or Democrat. We should want reform. We should want
302
00:16:00.309 --> 00:16:02.529
term limits. We should want people to come in, do
303
00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:05.169
the job, get out. They're getting too comfortable. There's nothing
304
00:16:05.210 --> 00:16:05.850
to stop them.
305
00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:06.879
They don't care anymore.
306
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.559
They don't show up half the time anyways. Even if
307
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.720
Mitch McConnell was healthy, you look at some of the
308
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.200
senators who don't even show up for a lot of
309
00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:13.559
the votes.
310
00:16:14.230 --> 00:16:16.509
Yeah, and look, it is not a knock on the man.
311
00:16:16.830 --> 00:16:21.840
I'm glad that he's alive and healthy-ish. Honestly, I am.
312
00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:24.019
I mean, we don't ever wish anyone harm, and he's
313
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.100
been a good Republican for a lot of part of
314
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.419
his career. Now, lately, there's been some beef with Donald Trump.
315
00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:32.980
He hasn't backed the Save America Act. That's very frustrating.
316
00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:35.580
But that being said, nobody's wishing him harm. Nobody's wishing
317
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.970
anything ill-will towards him. But the fact remains, that seat
318
00:16:40.009 --> 00:16:42.539
doesn't belong to him. And you mentioned... IT'S A PAYCHECK
319
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.559
FOR HIM. I DON'T THINK IT'S A PAYCHECK FOR HIM.
320
00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:47.879
I THINK IT'S A I THINK IT'S THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM.
321
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.080
IT'S THE INFLUENCE THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. IT'S THE POWER
322
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.179
THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. IT'S THE JOBS OF HIS STAFF
323
00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:56.299
THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. YOU KNOW, IT'S THE OBLIGATIONS. I
324
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.580
DON'T THINK THE MITCH MCCONNELL THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO THE
325
00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:02.139
FLOOR TO VOTE IS THE MITCH MCCONNELL THAT HIS VOTERS ELECTED.
326
00:17:02.210 --> 00:17:07.609
I THINK IT'S THE MITCH MCCONNELL. THAT'S WHAT HE'S THERE
327
00:17:07.650 --> 00:17:11.509
TO SERVE. HE'S THERE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT SORT
328
00:17:11.549 --> 00:17:14.869
OF ORBIT HIM, AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT
329
00:17:14.950 --> 00:17:17.670
SERVING THE PEOPLE BECAUSE HOW CAN ANYBODY ARGUE THAT HE
330
00:17:17.809 --> 00:17:20.750
IS ADVOCATING FOR THE PEOPLE OF HIS DISTRICT? AT THIS
331
00:17:20.789 --> 00:17:23.009
POINT HE'S NOT. I CAN'T IMAGINE HE IS, RIGHT?
332
00:17:25.170 --> 00:17:25.650
YEAH, I KNOW.
333
00:17:25.890 --> 00:17:28.099
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU THINK REALLY HE KNOWS WHAT'S
334
00:17:28.130 --> 00:17:30.559
GOING ON. IT'S LIKE A JOE BIDEN TYPE OF THING
335
00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:32.799
GOING ON. EVEN WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS IN, THE DIFFERENCE
336
00:17:32.819 --> 00:17:36.059
BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT HAS ALWAYS We weren't
337
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.180
going around saying, oh, I hope this is it for
338
00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:39.940
Joe Biden. You know, I remember a lot of my
339
00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:42.529
friends going, oh, wow, this is crazy. Like we felt
340
00:17:42.670 --> 00:17:44.410
so bad that he was put in that position and
341
00:17:44.430 --> 00:17:46.410
we knew he was just carrying out his duties. Like
342
00:17:46.430 --> 00:17:49.250
you're saying, like Mitch McConnell, everyone around him just saying,
343
00:17:49.309 --> 00:17:52.609
keep the ship going, keep the Democrats in power. I
344
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:54.329
feel like the same thing's happening with Mitch McConnell. You've
345
00:17:54.349 --> 00:17:56.769
had that seat for so long. They're afraid to lose
346
00:17:56.809 --> 00:17:58.950
that to a Democrat or at least afraid to lose
347
00:17:58.970 --> 00:18:01.390
that to somebody that they don't know, shake hands with
348
00:18:01.450 --> 00:18:04.869
backstage and know the game with. The game gets rigged
349
00:18:04.950 --> 00:18:06.849
by these people that are in for so long. So
350
00:18:07.309 --> 00:18:09.210
that's why I think Mitch McConnell is no longer doing
351
00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:12.049
the votes that we want. Like, we're not happy with
352
00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:14.140
a lot of these, you know, what do you call it?
353
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.380
Establishment Republicans that just sit in an office. They make
354
00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.980
such good friendships. They no longer have to really, you know, fight.
355
00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:22.640
They don't have to do anything. They're just like, hey,
356
00:18:23.019 --> 00:18:24.980
it's more important for them to sit back and go, yeah,
357
00:18:25.029 --> 00:18:26.650
I can help you, buddy. I can help you, buddy.
358
00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:29.500
more so than the actual people. And I'm sick of it,
359
00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.119
to be honest with you.
360
00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:32.220
Well, yeah, and I think that that's consistent with what
361
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.599
a lot of people feel. And it's not his. They
362
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.269
could have given that seat. They could have had an
363
00:18:37.329 --> 00:18:40.730
election and put somebody in place that could have actively...
364
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.140
REPRESENTED THE VOTERS OF KENTUCKY, AND THAT'S WHAT IT BALLS
365
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.400
DOWN TO. THAT SEAT DOES NOT BELONG. NONE OF THESE
366
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.019
SEATS BELONG TO THE POLITICIAN. THEY BELONG TO THE PEOPLE.
367
00:18:49.059 --> 00:18:52.319
AND THESE ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT THEY BUILD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE
368
00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:56.440
FOR ANYBODY TO CHALLENGE THEM, ESPECIALLY SENIOR LEADERSHIP LIKE MITCH MCCONNELL.
369
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.559
YOU CAN'T BEAT MITCH MCCONNELL. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY
370
00:18:58.819 --> 00:19:01.299
COMES IN HIS CAMPAIGNS FROM EVERYWHERE? BECAUSE HE IS, LIKE
371
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:03.819
YOU SAID, A PROVEN COMMODITY, A PROVEN VOTE. HE SHAKES
372
00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:05.839
HANDS WITH PEOPLE. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO FIX.
373
00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:08.819
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE FEEL FRUSTRATED. And, you know, we need
374
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.150
certain votes to back the president, especially with Save America. Look,
375
00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:15.869
I'm glad McConnell's doing better. I still think what he
376
00:19:15.930 --> 00:19:19.069
represents is is really something that needs to be fixed.
377
00:19:19.410 --> 00:19:21.819
And that's term limits and actual representation.
378
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.319
Yeah, I hope he comes out of this and somebody
379
00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:27.940
gets this, you know, comes out of this healthy, retires.
380
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:31.069
Somebody gets the seat that's aggressive, younger. They need to
381
00:19:31.089 --> 00:19:32.769
put somebody on that's going to be in there and
382
00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:35.880
obviously have the president's back. We've got a couple more years.
383
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.359
We need to get it done now. We've waited too long.
384
00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:40.880
I've been pushing myself saying, hey, look, even when I
385
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.759
hear criticisms, I'm like, look, I'm not beholden to anybody.
386
00:19:44.309 --> 00:19:47.190
I'm a Trump supporter, but I'm a conservative first. I
387
00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:48.890
want some of these things done that are going to
388
00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:51.640
save our country, you know. We can't be letting loose
389
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.119
ends when the Democrats one day get back in office.
390
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:55.599
We got to get it done now. So we need
391
00:19:55.619 --> 00:19:57.099
to get it done under Trump. He's one of the
392
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:01.490
strongest voices we're going to have. He's not an establishment Republican,
393
00:20:01.529 --> 00:20:04.109
regardless of what people say about his second term. He's
394
00:20:04.190 --> 00:20:06.009
still going to be out there and speak. I just
395
00:20:06.029 --> 00:20:08.710
heard him saying, we can't have this crazy mass migration.
396
00:20:08.750 --> 00:20:10.980
We got to keep the border safe You're not seeing
397
00:20:11.019 --> 00:20:12.900
that in a lot of the Western world right now.
398
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.420
So we got to get stuff done now.
399
00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:17.740
Yeah, I agree. Greg is fire. Thank you so much
400
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.559
for being here as always. Great takes. And I look
401
00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:20.819
forward to having you on again real soon, my friend.
402
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:22.680
Thanks, David. You're awesome, man.
403
00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:23.220
Appreciate you.
404
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.660
You are awesome too. Thank you.
405
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:25.859
Coming up.
406
00:20:26.630 --> 00:20:29.500
A former researcher at one of the biggest AI companies
407
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:34.299
on Earth? Well, he says the technology he's creating could
408
00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:39.160
kill us all. And 160 million people have watched him
409
00:20:39.329 --> 00:20:42.710
say it. Is anyone in Washington listening? It is time
410
00:20:42.970 --> 00:20:46.490
to regulate AI. Or is it too late? Stick around.
411
00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:52.819

you can't get anywhere else.
421
00:21:27.009 --> 00:21:31.960
AI, AI seems to be taking over everything. And outside
422
00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:35.380
of flock cameras, I don't think people are more concerned
423
00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:39.400
about a technology outside of AI. And it's about to
424
00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:43.599
reshape every single corner of your life. And it's advancing
425
00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:49.119
faster than almost anyone is ready for. Here's an uncomfortable
426
00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:52.930
question nobody in Washington has an answer to. Who is
427
00:21:53.049 --> 00:21:57.460
making sure that Any of this is done safely. And
428
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.279
the answer right now is really not that many people.
429
00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:03.279
It's kind of nobody. I mean, there is some legislation
430
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.339
out there, but I don't know if it's coming soon enough.
431
00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:09.549
Let's go back three years. Call them the titans of
432
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:14.630
Silicon Valley. The very men building this technology sat down
433
00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:17.950
with United States Senate and warned them in their own words.
434
00:22:17.990 --> 00:22:21.809
These are the people who make it of a civilizational risk.
435
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.529
And this isn't some old story fading into the past.
436
00:22:25.549 --> 00:22:28.630
Just this week, a former researcher from one of the
437
00:22:28.690 --> 00:22:31.609
biggest AI companies in the world went public with a
438
00:22:31.690 --> 00:22:36.259
warning that the technology they are building could, quote, kill
439
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:41.000
us all. Why are they creating it? Why are they
440
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.400
creating a technology?
441
00:22:42.829 --> 00:22:43.109
Anyway.
442
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.519
That warning has now been seen more than 160 million times.
443
00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:52.539
And his former colleagues, they're not laughing at this. One
444
00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:55.119
of them who leads safety research at that very same company,
445
00:22:55.430 --> 00:22:58.369
he believes that it is better than a one in
446
00:22:58.369 --> 00:23:03.289
10 chance that AI, oh my gosh, that AI causes
447
00:23:03.589 --> 00:23:09.109
human extinction within a decade. One in 10, it's a
448
00:23:09.109 --> 00:23:13.210
10% chance. These are the people building it, saying that
449
00:23:13.230 --> 00:23:17.180
there's a 10% chance it ends us. And after three
450
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:21.960
years of warning like that, countless hearings, task forces, speeches,
451
00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:27.170
Congress hasn't really passed any comprehensive regulations. So President Trump
452
00:23:27.190 --> 00:23:29.289
has stepped in. He signed an executive order to create
453
00:23:29.309 --> 00:23:32.710
what he calls one rulebook, a single national standard for
454
00:23:32.809 --> 00:23:35.799
AI to stop a patchwork of 50 different state laws
455
00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:41.140
from strangling American innovation. I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING HERE.
456
00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:46.259
THE MORE WE LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO, I GUESS, HARNESS
457
00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:49.450
THIS TECHNOLOGY, OTHER COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
458
00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:51.819
PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT TO SEE CHINA HAVE ANY ADVANTAGE.
459
00:23:57.289 --> 00:24:00.690
HE LOOKED AT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER AND HE CALLED IT
460
00:24:00.750 --> 00:24:03.930
A SUBSIDY TO BIG TECH THAT LETS TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES RUN WILD.
461
00:24:04.250 --> 00:24:08.029
AND CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE CAME OUT AGAINST IT. AND
462
00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:10.980
PLENTY OF LEGAL SCHOLARS ARE ARGUING THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER CAN'T
463
00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:13.980
LEGALLY OVERRIDE STATE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE. ONLY CONGRESS
464
00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:16.420
CAN DO THAT. SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? THE
465
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:19.339
MOST POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE
466
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.240
IS BEING BUILT AT BREAK-NECK SPEED BY PEOPLE WHO THEMSELVES
467
00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:28.119
ARE WARNING IT CAN END US. And the government of
468
00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:31.240
the United States can't agree on how to regulate them.
469
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:34.779
To talk about where this thing goes next, and somebody's
470
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.710
been sounding the alarm on this for years. He built
471
00:24:36.750 --> 00:24:40.049
an entire social media platform to kind of fight it
472
00:24:40.109 --> 00:24:43.690
in some ways. Jeff Dornick, founder of Pickaxe, my good friend.
473
00:24:43.730 --> 00:24:51.089
Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time. You go first.
474
00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:53.759
Honestly, with all of this, right?
475
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.579
I'm just sitting here and I'm like, there's a propaganda
476
00:24:57.619 --> 00:25:01.130
machine that's happening on both sides of the aisle right now.
477
00:25:01.230 --> 00:25:04.589
Like on one hand, you've got the anti-AI crowd that's like,
478
00:25:04.910 --> 00:25:08.609
it's going to destroy humanity. Everybody's going to die instantaneously
479
00:25:08.650 --> 00:25:10.250
because AI robots are going to go rogue and we
480
00:25:10.269 --> 00:25:12.410
have Terminator. And then you've got the other side, like,
481
00:25:12.430 --> 00:25:15.309
you know, that's President Trump pushing the narrative that like,
482
00:25:15.549 --> 00:25:17.470
there's no chance that that's going to happen. And anybody
483
00:25:17.490 --> 00:25:20.400
who says that is a Chinese propagandist. And at a
484
00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.960
certain point, I'm kind of looking at this and I'm like,
485
00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:24.930
I don't necessarily agree with either side, and I also
486
00:25:24.970 --> 00:25:27.049
agree with both sides at the same time. Like, the
487
00:25:27.150 --> 00:25:29.009
truth is somewhere in the middle or this kind of
488
00:25:29.089 --> 00:25:33.109
third option where there is potential for great, amazing things
489
00:25:33.130 --> 00:25:35.509
that we can do with AI. There's also potential for
490
00:25:35.670 --> 00:25:37.970
utter destruction in the end of humanity. Like you said,
491
00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:40.670
there's that 10% chance that AI could destroy us all.
492
00:25:41.019 --> 00:25:43.480
I think that's very valid. I think it's very legit.
493
00:25:44.250 --> 00:25:48.150
We are also in a race with artificial, with China
494
00:25:48.289 --> 00:25:49.250
over the AI race.
495
00:25:49.789 --> 00:25:51.210
That is a very real scenario.
496
00:25:51.529 --> 00:25:53.650
And then there's also a very real scenario that we're
497
00:25:53.670 --> 00:25:57.230
dealing with AI companies going crazy when it comes to
498
00:25:57.269 --> 00:26:00.930
surveillance state, when it comes to all sorts of applications
499
00:26:00.970 --> 00:26:04.039
that I think are wildly unconstitutional and violate our civil
500
00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:06.299
rights and liberties. And so I'm just sitting here in
501
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:08.720
the middle and I'm like, I disagree and agree with
502
00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:11.420
everybody on all sides simultaneously, which is a very weird
503
00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:11.920
place to be in.
504
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:17.420
Jeff, because I see the opportunity in AI. I mean,
505
00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:21.680
with efficiencies and really it's a tool like any other
506
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.299
tool You know, it's like being afraid of the lawnmower.
507
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.740
And you're like, well, my, you know, my mules that
508
00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:29.900
pull the whatever you used to mow the lawn with
509
00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:32.569
on fields back in the day before technology happened. Maybe
510
00:26:32.589 --> 00:26:34.569
I'm struggling with an analogy. I need AI to help me.
511
00:26:34.890 --> 00:26:38.329
But at the end of the day, technology has always
512
00:26:38.410 --> 00:26:41.529
helped us. But AI, I think, freaks people out a
513
00:26:41.549 --> 00:26:43.970
little bit because a lot of the concern is over
514
00:26:44.009 --> 00:26:46.250
the fact that, OK, but once we set this thing loose,
515
00:26:46.289 --> 00:26:48.890
like it's like putting out a virus. We won't be
516
00:26:48.910 --> 00:26:50.390
able to control it anymore. And a lot of the
517
00:26:50.430 --> 00:26:53.589
conversation has been built around, you know, it's breaking its
518
00:26:53.630 --> 00:26:57.650
containment and starting its own viruses and hacking into places
519
00:26:57.710 --> 00:27:00.950
and all of these things. But the reality is this.
520
00:27:01.170 --> 00:27:03.089
We can regulate it in the United States. And this
521
00:27:03.130 --> 00:27:04.529
is what the tug of war has been about. We
522
00:27:04.549 --> 00:27:07.880
can regulate this in the United States. We can put
523
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:09.799
the brakes on in the United States if we can
524
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.900
at a federal level. And there's some argument with whether
525
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.599
or not we can. Certain states can regulate it. But
526
00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:19.049
China is moving full speed ahead at developing AI. Data
527
00:27:19.069 --> 00:27:21.329
centers tied directly into this because you need these massive
528
00:27:21.369 --> 00:27:24.710
data centers to process all the information that AI needs
529
00:27:24.769 --> 00:27:27.410
to do its thing too. And China isn't stopping its
530
00:27:27.450 --> 00:27:29.589
building of the data centers either. So where you have
531
00:27:29.690 --> 00:27:35.029
China harnessing full throttle data centers and AI, And you
532
00:27:35.049 --> 00:27:37.049
have the United States saying, well, I don't quite trust this.
533
00:27:37.109 --> 00:27:39.990
It can end humanity. Well, should we let the only
534
00:27:40.089 --> 00:27:42.710
country with the power to end humanity be a country
535
00:27:42.750 --> 00:27:47.240
that's our biggest adversary? So I understand Trump's position like, hey, guys,
536
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.039
we're going to regulate ourselves into extinction with this. What
537
00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:51.079
do you make of all this, Jeff?
538
00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:55.940
So, again, it's a very nuanced conversation, which is difficult
539
00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:58.140
to condense. But the reality of it is, is that
540
00:27:58.180 --> 00:28:01.069
it is a very real scenario that whoever wins the
541
00:28:01.150 --> 00:28:04.099
AI race wins. Basically has the chance to dominate the world,
542
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:06.180
has the chance to rule the world. And Elon Musk
543
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.009
a few years ago said that there's going to be
544
00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:10.990
two potential scenarios, neither of which I really like, but
545
00:28:11.029 --> 00:28:12.829
two potential end games. And he said this to Benjamin
546
00:28:12.849 --> 00:28:14.990
Netanyahu a few years ago. One is you're going to
547
00:28:15.009 --> 00:28:17.970
have Terminator. I would argue that the Terminator scenario is
548
00:28:17.990 --> 00:28:19.970
if China wins, wins the AI race. So that's a
549
00:28:20.049 --> 00:28:22.039
very real scenario that we have to deal with. Because
550
00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:24.420
they're already dealing with robotics. They're dealing with AI. They're
551
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.599
dealing with the weaponization of it. It's going to be
552
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.559
kind of like Iron Man 2 with those humanoid robots
553
00:28:29.579 --> 00:28:30.480
that are run by AI.
554
00:28:30.980 --> 00:28:33.859
Very real scenario. We could see Terminator if China wins.
555
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.160
That's for real.
556
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:39.069
On the other side, you've got Elon Musk describing heaven
557
00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:41.910
on earth in the best case scenario. I would argue
558
00:28:41.950 --> 00:28:43.930
that in all reality, the heaven on earth scenario would
559
00:28:43.950 --> 00:28:47.109
be if the United States wins the race, that's more
560
00:28:47.130 --> 00:28:48.529
what we'd experience.
561
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:50.980
But then he goes on to describe what heaven on
562
00:28:51.029 --> 00:28:51.369
earth is.
563
00:28:51.829 --> 00:28:54.470
And what he describes is what he later has called
564
00:28:54.490 --> 00:28:58.849
a communist utopia where humans don't work because AI and
565
00:28:58.890 --> 00:29:02.410
robots will do everything. We'll live on either a UBI
566
00:29:02.450 --> 00:29:05.109
or there'll be no more need for money because it's
567
00:29:05.230 --> 00:29:09.789
all AI-driven. So then it just comes down to power
568
00:29:09.829 --> 00:29:13.299
and resources. the centralization of power, really, it just comes
569
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:15.039
from the government. We're all reliant either on the government
570
00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:18.000
or these tech companies. And we just live a hedonistic lifestyle.
571
00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:20.640
We just sit around on our couch. We watch TV
572
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:23.069
inside of our brains and we go about our days.
573
00:29:23.150 --> 00:29:24.950
And I don't want either one.
574
00:29:24.890 --> 00:29:27.609
Of those scenarios because that doesn't represent American values and
575
00:29:27.630 --> 00:29:28.450
neither does Terminator.
576
00:29:28.470 --> 00:29:30.630
And so it's one of those things where there's got
577
00:29:30.650 --> 00:29:31.589
to be.
578
00:29:31.809 --> 00:29:35.750
An America first option here that actually puts American people
579
00:29:35.829 --> 00:29:38.390
first and actually values our constitutional rights. And I think
580
00:29:38.410 --> 00:29:40.539
that that's where a lot of the fight over the
581
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:43.559
AI data centers, in my opinion, is a distraction. We
582
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.920
need AI data centers in order to combat China. That
583
00:29:46.980 --> 00:29:50.390
is 100% true. But also I think the conversation we
584
00:29:50.430 --> 00:29:53.710
should be having is what is the application of artificial
585
00:29:53.750 --> 00:29:56.990
intelligence into American life? What do we want to see
586
00:29:57.900 --> 00:30:01.650
You know, this new world with AI look like in
587
00:30:01.710 --> 00:30:04.349
America where we're not just giving over all power and
588
00:30:04.369 --> 00:30:05.569
control to AI and robots.
589
00:30:05.609 --> 00:30:07.630
We no longer have purpose as human beings. We no
590
00:30:07.670 --> 00:30:09.329
longer work. We no longer own anything.
591
00:30:09.849 --> 00:30:12.240
And I think that's the conversation we should be having,
592
00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:15.359
not fighting over whether we should be fast tracking or
593
00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:17.539
slowing down AI. To me, I think it's more about
594
00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:20.779
how are we applying AI within the American way of life?
595
00:30:22.750 --> 00:30:24.609
I don't know if there's an answer yet that we
596
00:30:24.630 --> 00:30:27.910
have figured out. All I know is it's creating definitely
597
00:30:27.930 --> 00:30:31.269
more ammunition for people to use against one side or
598
00:30:31.309 --> 00:30:33.819
the other, pointing blames. I mean, you've seen the debates
599
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:35.960
playing out right now on social media. I'm sure you're
600
00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:39.039
seeing it on your platform, pro and against President Trump's position,
601
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:41.960
other people's positions. It's a mess. We've got to figure
602
00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:43.839
it out. And I think the only solution to this
603
00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:45.990
is at least for us to put aside what are
604
00:30:46.089 --> 00:30:49.569
perceived to be partisan values here and kind of look
605
00:30:49.609 --> 00:30:52.759
at the, like you said, the America first outcome of this.
606
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.779
We have to figure this out because it is the
607
00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:57.880
future one way or the other. And either we're subject
608
00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:59.859
to it or we're in control of it. And I
609
00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:01.359
think that's the conversation that we're going to have to
610
00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:03.319
keep having. Jeff Dornick, thank you so much for being
611
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:04.420
here as always. Great conversation.
612
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:05.140
Thank you. Appreciate it.
613
00:31:08.470 --> 00:31:13.609
Tomorrow afternoon, the Federal Reserve decides whether to raise the
614
00:31:13.670 --> 00:31:17.140
cost of your mortgage, your car, and your credit card
615
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.640
payments seven weeks before an election. We have Grant Cardone
616
00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:25.589
on the Cardone Zone telling you why there might actually
617
00:31:25.630 --> 00:31:28.529
be an opportunity if rates go up. You're not going
618
00:31:28.549 --> 00:31:29.789
to want to miss this. Stay tuned.
619
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.740
For all of our viewers out there asking where to

629
00:32:13.730 --> 00:32:17.460
You're going to hear a lot about the Federal Reserve
630
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.880
over the next few days because tomorrow afternoon at around
631
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.430
2 o'clock, they're going to make a decision that could
632
00:32:25.490 --> 00:32:29.309
hit your wallet harder than just about anything Congress can do.
633
00:32:30.299 --> 00:32:33.319
And right now, a lot of experts are saying that
634
00:32:33.380 --> 00:32:38.900
the Fed will most likely hike rates. That's right. We're
635
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.720
not talking about cutting rates, as Trump has been asking for.
636
00:32:42.180 --> 00:32:46.880
We're talking about a potential rate hike. It's expected due
637
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.829
to inflation related to energy from the war with Iran.
638
00:32:50.509 --> 00:32:53.930
But the rate hike, it just doesn't impact energy. It
639
00:32:53.970 --> 00:32:56.750
would raise the cost of mortgages, your car loan, your
640
00:32:56.869 --> 00:33:00.309
credit card, and the interest on our national debt. And
641
00:33:00.349 --> 00:33:04.980
let's be honest, this comes at the absolute worst possible
642
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.660
moment with seven weeks before an election, with families already
643
00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:12.579
stretched thin, with everybody already talking about the economy. Of course,
644
00:33:12.619 --> 00:33:15.599
President Trump is in an all-out fight to stop the
645
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.289
rate hike. The president, the vice president, the treasury secretary,
646
00:33:19.309 --> 00:33:22.890
they've all been hammering the same message. The Fed's new chairman,
647
00:33:23.190 --> 00:33:28.210
do not, please do not raise rates. Cut them. Trump
648
00:33:28.250 --> 00:33:31.369
has said rates should be a full three points lower
649
00:33:31.390 --> 00:33:35.599
to ease the crushing cost of the national debt and
650
00:33:35.670 --> 00:33:38.740
let this economy just run. And he's got the ammunition
651
00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:41.680
because last month's job reports, it came in at nearly
652
00:33:41.789 --> 00:33:45.269
triple what experts predicted. The economy is strong. There seems
653
00:33:45.309 --> 00:33:48.950
to be no reason for a hike, except maybe for politics.
654
00:33:49.589 --> 00:33:51.849
And my next guest is also sounding the alarm about
655
00:33:51.890 --> 00:33:54.950
what happens if the Fed gets this wrong. He posted
656
00:33:54.990 --> 00:33:58.960
this morning this, saying, if rates don't come down, there
657
00:33:59.019 --> 00:34:03.220
will be problems of biblical proportions across banking as $ 1
658
00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:06.680
trillion in debt maturing this year and majority is held
659
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:10.239
with banks. It's a buyer's market with loans maturing, rents flat,
660
00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:13.449
interest rates climbing. It takes courage, but he also says
661
00:34:13.489 --> 00:34:16.389
this is where the big money is made. Always an optimist.
662
00:34:16.929 --> 00:34:19.769
A trillion dollars in debt coming due, most of it
663
00:34:19.829 --> 00:34:22.929
sitting on the books of the banks. And at the
664
00:34:22.989 --> 00:34:25.309
exact moment, the Fed is thinking about making that debt
665
00:34:25.329 --> 00:34:28.889
more expensive. He calls it a risk of biblical proportions.
666
00:34:28.909 --> 00:34:31.719
He also calls it an opportunity of a lifetime. For
667
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:34.139
anyone with the courage to move, he's a man who
668
00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:38.070
built an empire doing exactly this and taking advantage of opportunities.
669
00:34:38.449 --> 00:34:40.530
Let's get his take. I'm honored to welcome Mr. Grant
670
00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:42.789
Cardone back to Dave Pollack Prime Time. We're calling this
671
00:34:42.989 --> 00:34:47.460
the Cardone Zone, my favorite weekly economic segment. So, Grant,
672
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.679
explain this. Rates go up. A lot of people are
673
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.039
freaking out about it. You say there's opportunity, but let's
674
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:56.260
first start about the biblical proportions of the consequences of
675
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:56.679
a rate hike.
676
00:34:57.690 --> 00:35:00.550
Well, look, you have loans maturing, right, in this cycle.
677
00:35:00.590 --> 00:35:05.340
So there's about a trillion dollars worth of loans across apartments, hotels, hospitality.
678
00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:08.099
Some of that's held with Fannie and Freddie Mac. Most
679
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.219
of it, though, is held by regional banks or even
680
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.699
big banks, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, et cetera. So that's
681
00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:19.539
where most of America keeps their savings, their checking. and
682
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:23.039
maybe their money market accounts, okay? That money is lent
683
00:35:23.219 --> 00:35:26.599
out when you drop money at your checking account, savings account,
684
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.699
or money market. That money is then lent to people
685
00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:32.610
like me that borrow money on three-year, five-year, seven-year, 10-year.
686
00:35:33.070 --> 00:35:34.730
A lot of this money was borrowed three and five
687
00:35:34.750 --> 00:35:38.969
years ago back in 2020, 2022, and it's due this year.
688
00:35:39.030 --> 00:35:42.090
It's a trillion this year. It's almost 900 billion next year.
689
00:35:42.429 --> 00:35:46.469
It's due. Guess what? When your lease payment's due on
690
00:35:46.489 --> 00:35:48.050
your car, you got to turn the car in.
691
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:52.059
When your mortgage payment is due on the loan, you
692
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.719
have to either refinance the loan or you have to
693
00:35:54.780 --> 00:35:58.760
sell the property. We have the highest supply of assets,
694
00:35:59.710 --> 00:36:03.409
properties for sale today than we've had since 2008, maybe
695
00:36:03.449 --> 00:36:03.750
since 2000.
696
00:36:03.750 --> 00:36:06.710
This is the biggest.
697
00:36:07.329 --> 00:36:09.809
Single real estate opportunity in my 68 years being on
698
00:36:09.849 --> 00:36:15.449
this planet, looking at real estate. But it's terrifying because.
699
00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:20.760
This trillion dollars cannot be paid back. The trillion dollars
700
00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:24.179
in debt, David, is probably only worth $ 600 billion.
701
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:28.239
So somebody has to come up with $ 400.
702
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:31.079
Billion in losses or to show losses on their books,
703
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.780
and the banks don't want to do that. So last
704
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.199
thing I'll say about that is this. I don't think
705
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:42.849
the Fed raises tomorrow just for these very reasons. The
706
00:36:43.010 --> 00:36:48.150
only solution here is lower interest rates. And it's like
707
00:36:48.329 --> 00:36:51.050
Trump's being played right now by someone, but I believe
708
00:36:51.090 --> 00:36:53.349
he'll figure out how to pull this off and get
709
00:36:53.409 --> 00:36:54.010
rates lower.
710
00:36:55.219 --> 00:36:57.639
So that, I mean, I hope, I hope they don't
711
00:36:57.679 --> 00:36:59.840
raise rates. At the last Fed meeting, there was some
712
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:03.449
votes for raising and obviously Warsh— was in favor of
713
00:37:03.489 --> 00:37:05.570
keeping them the same, not lowering them as the president.
714
00:37:05.590 --> 00:37:07.349
Most all the banks think that they're going to reach through, yeah.
715
00:37:07.670 --> 00:37:10.190
Yeah, and Trump has said, look, he supports Warsh. He
716
00:37:10.210 --> 00:37:12.869
has confidence in him. So we'll see what they do.
717
00:37:12.909 --> 00:37:14.090
But let me break this down a little bit because
718
00:37:14.130 --> 00:37:17.469
it's really interesting. You say opportunity. The last big opportunity
719
00:37:17.510 --> 00:37:21.820
came at a tremendous financial meltdown when they were basically
720
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.340
selling everything at a fire sale. And yeah, there were
721
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:26.900
some real estate opportunities. Nobody had any cash, but there
722
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.679
was real estate opportunities. Are you suggesting that If they
723
00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:32.119
raise rates, we might have a massive market sell-off when
724
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:34.800
these notes come due?
725
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.400
We already have a market sell-off right now. It's just
726
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:41.780
being quietly done with guys like me and institutions. And
727
00:37:41.900 --> 00:37:46.530
where middle America, you know, the people out there trying
728
00:37:46.550 --> 00:37:48.619
to buy a home or trade their home, you're looking
729
00:37:48.659 --> 00:37:50.730
too small in the food chain. You need to be
730
00:37:50.769 --> 00:37:52.630
looking for the big fish right now. You like my
731
00:37:52.690 --> 00:37:56.269
fishing analogies, right? So, you know, when the fish aren't biting,
732
00:37:56.329 --> 00:37:57.289
move the boat, man.
733
00:37:57.329 --> 00:37:57.989
That's what I say.
734
00:37:59.019 --> 00:38:02.300
And then if you're not catching what you want, you
735
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:05.190
gotta move to where.
736
00:38:04.130 --> 00:38:07.070
The pain is. You gotta follow the money, okay?
737
00:38:07.130 --> 00:38:10.329
And unfortunately, most Americans are trying to buy a house
738
00:38:10.369 --> 00:38:12.210
when they should be trying to buy the block.
739
00:38:13.030 --> 00:38:14.230
This is an opportunity.
740
00:38:14.250 --> 00:38:18.690
In 2010, Blackstone went and bought 10,000 condos in Miami.
741
00:38:24.909 --> 00:38:27.030
I saw this in the news on the internet. I
742
00:38:27.050 --> 00:38:29.269
was in Los Angeles. I lived in Los Angeles at
743
00:38:29.289 --> 00:38:32.829
the time. This is what entrepreneurs do when they see opportunity.
744
00:38:33.590 --> 00:38:36.260
I sold my house the following week, took all the
745
00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:39.300
money and went and bought Miami because I was following
746
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:39.639
the money.
747
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.380
Okay.
748
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.760
And this is what people should be doing right now.
749
00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:46.780
Big institutions are having to sell these big 150, 200 unit,
750
00:38:46.780 --> 00:38:53.159
300 unit complexes and Smart people right now should learn
751
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.340
about apartment investing, how to buy cashflow, how to get
752
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:58.280
loans on it, how to raise money for it.
753
00:38:58.780 --> 00:39:01.420
And you will make, you'll make more money in.
754
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:04.019
The next 10 years than you've made, than your family's
755
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:06.139
made in the last 400.
756
00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:08.320
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, and this is why
757
00:39:08.340 --> 00:39:10.519
I love these segments, because when we have a billionaire
758
00:39:10.619 --> 00:39:12.940
on to tell people how to think like a billionaire
759
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.760
and not think, you know, in the circumstances they're in,
760
00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:18.590
when homebuyers or people with cash, you know, who are thinking,
761
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:21.010
I really wanted to buy a single-family home, and they're like,
762
00:39:21.030 --> 00:39:22.869
look at these rates. This is really bad for me.
763
00:39:23.269 --> 00:39:25.710
You're sitting here saying, stop thinking like you're buying a
764
00:39:25.730 --> 00:39:28.889
single family home. Think like an entrepreneur and look for
765
00:39:28.909 --> 00:39:32.820
the opportunities for buying things outside of the single family home.
766
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.179
Maybe rent a little longer and take that money you've
767
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:37.579
been saving and look at buying at least an equity
768
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:39.900
share in an apartment building with a group of folks.
769
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:41.860
That's what you're telling people to do right now. Stop
770
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:46.199
being reactionary, reacting to the market, instead getting ahead of
771
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:48.019
the market and find ways to make money regardless of
772
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:48.780
where interest rates are.
773
00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:51.280
Yeah, now your audience is going to say, well, you know,
774
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.280
who can do that? I don't have enough money. OK, but,
775
00:39:53.909 --> 00:39:56.409
you know. You want to buy a car, you want
776
00:39:56.429 --> 00:39:58.530
to buy the car dealership. If you buy the car dealership,
777
00:39:58.570 --> 00:39:59.989
if you'd actually get an education how.
778
00:39:59.909 --> 00:40:01.429
To buy the car dealership, you never have to buy
779
00:40:01.449 --> 00:40:04.130
another car in your life. What I'm suggesting to people,
780
00:40:04.389 --> 00:40:07.289
I started with no money. OK, literally three thousand bucks,
781
00:40:07.489 --> 00:40:11.630
but but a tremendous amount of desire to be successful
782
00:40:11.670 --> 00:40:14.849
and have have my financial life fixed. And I studied
783
00:40:14.889 --> 00:40:17.730
real estate for three years. And right now, this cycle,
784
00:40:17.849 --> 00:40:22.260
it was late 1990s, there was a cycle. 2008 was
785
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.639
the next cycle. That was 18 years. Here we are
786
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:29.019
18 years later. It's game time, man. You don't need
787
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.269
to wait till Sunday or Thursday night football. This is
788
00:40:32.349 --> 00:40:36.030
game time for middle-class America to make more wealth in
789
00:40:36.050 --> 00:40:38.769
the next decade than your family has made in the
790
00:40:38.809 --> 00:40:39.389
last 400 years.
791
00:40:40.889 --> 00:40:43.130
And it's all about investing in the right thing and
792
00:40:43.150 --> 00:40:46.670
what you're saying, to be clear. Now, if somebody says, OK, Grant,
793
00:40:46.710 --> 00:40:49.550
that sounds great. How do I go buy a fraction interest?
794
00:40:49.590 --> 00:40:52.039
I can't afford a whole apartment building. How can I
795
00:40:52.099 --> 00:40:55.000
buy a fractionary interest in an apartment building where I
796
00:40:55.019 --> 00:40:56.420
can make that wealth that you're talking about?
797
00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:58.900
You can't do it if the first thing you do
798
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.659
is throw in the towel and say, I can't do that.
799
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.360
So like I can't even talk to somebody that immediately
800
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:06.760
throws the towel in. OK, this is the easiest debt
801
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:10.320
you will ever get is the kind of loans I'm
802
00:41:10.340 --> 00:41:12.860
talking This is easier to get a loan on a
803
00:41:12.860 --> 00:41:15.289
200 unit apartment complex than it is.
804
00:41:15.190 --> 00:41:18.130
A $ 400, 000 house.
805
00:41:19.150 --> 00:41:22.150
Unfortunately, nobody knows about it because all this information has
806
00:41:22.190 --> 00:41:26.559
been kept private to the big institutions. And I'm showing
807
00:41:26.579 --> 00:41:29.099
people how I did this. I've done this without big banks, David.
808
00:41:29.139 --> 00:41:32.380
I've done it by learning how they do it. I
809
00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:36.210
mimicked what they were doing. I put the strategy they
810
00:41:36.250 --> 00:41:39.230
were using in place. I raised money from friends, family,
811
00:41:39.289 --> 00:41:42.489
and on social media, which is actually legal today. I've
812
00:41:42.510 --> 00:41:47.530
raised $ 2 billion from friends, family, customers, and employees. And
813
00:41:47.630 --> 00:41:50.570
I go out and buy large institutional quality real estate
814
00:41:50.610 --> 00:41:53.590
that institutions have to sell, by the way. They have
815
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:57.360
to sell their assets. because they have to report their profits.
816
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:04.320
And they're in trouble right now. It's like in 2008,
817
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:10.119
the stripper went and bought four houses. In 2020, the
818
00:42:10.179 --> 00:42:15.369
institution went and bought 20,000 units. And they both basically
819
00:42:15.429 --> 00:42:19.070
did the same thing, okay? They over leveraged and took
820
00:42:19.130 --> 00:42:22.320
on too much debt. And that's why I said this
821
00:42:22.389 --> 00:42:25.000
is biblical proportions.
822
00:42:26.429 --> 00:42:26.849
I love it.
823
00:42:27.230 --> 00:42:29.360
It's bigger than 2008.
824
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.179
I love it. And I love that advice. I'm sure
825
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.079
people are going to have lots of questions. And I'm
826
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:36.090
sure these strategies are, I know this isn't like a,
827
00:42:36.300 --> 00:42:37.880
this isn't a sales pitch. You come on to give
828
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.420
great advice to the audience. This isn't a sponsored segment.
829
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:43.199
I'm legitimately asking this question. If people want to learn
830
00:42:43.219 --> 00:42:46.269
these strategies, I'm assuming you've packaged this up, right? So
831
00:42:46.309 --> 00:42:47.150
they can go and find it.
832
00:42:48.289 --> 00:42:50.849
Yeah, I'm not trying to sell anybody anything. I'm telling you,
833
00:42:50.889 --> 00:42:53.170
I will try to sell the American public this. If
834
00:42:53.210 --> 00:42:59.360
you keep just simply waiting for 40 acres.
835
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.110
And a mule, okay? Which is basically what a single
836
00:43:02.130 --> 00:43:05.940
family home is. That's all you're ever gonna get.
837
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:07.679
Lever up.
838
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.429
Nobody ever got rich buying a single-family home ever in
839
00:43:10.449 --> 00:43:12.829
the history of the world. Warren Buffett owned one house.
840
00:43:12.929 --> 00:43:16.329
Steve Jobs owned one house. Elon Musk doesn't own a home.
841
00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:18.449
The richest people in the world don't want homes. They
842
00:43:18.469 --> 00:43:22.159
want investments that cash flow, that depreciate, and that live
843
00:43:22.179 --> 00:43:23.659
for long, long periods of time.
844
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:26.960
And right now, Americans have this one moment in time.
845
00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:29.420
This window is going to open and close literally in
846
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:30.199
the next three years.
847
00:43:31.289 --> 00:43:32.010
It'll be shut.
848
00:43:32.690 --> 00:43:36.170
And either Americans are going to buy this, David Pollack
849
00:43:36.190 --> 00:43:37.989
and your people are going to buy it, Grant Cardone
850
00:43:38.010 --> 00:43:39.550
and his family is going to buy it, or the
851
00:43:39.650 --> 00:43:42.610
institutions are just going to keep loading up and owning
852
00:43:42.769 --> 00:43:43.489
all of America.
853
00:43:43.650 --> 00:43:46.650
Because they just recycle these assets amongst one another.
854
00:43:47.210 --> 00:43:49.150
And I have figured out a way to crack the
855
00:43:49.190 --> 00:43:53.199
code and buy from the Blackstones and the Starwoods, the Camdens,
856
00:43:53.219 --> 00:43:56.480
the Avalons, the MetLife, the New York. These are trillion-dollar
857
00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:59.480
companies that I'm doing deals with, and I'm proof that
858
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:00.480
anyone can do this.
859
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:03.869
I love it. It's hope. It's hope. And why I
860
00:44:03.909 --> 00:44:06.610
love these segments so much, Grant, is because if you
861
00:44:06.630 --> 00:44:07.690
turn on the news, all you're going to hear is
862
00:44:07.730 --> 00:44:09.360
doom and gloom. Interest rates go up. I mean, I
863
00:44:09.420 --> 00:44:11.679
even said it in my monologue. My assumption was rates
864
00:44:11.699 --> 00:44:13.400
are going to go up. It's going to crush everybody.
865
00:44:13.460 --> 00:44:14.639
I almost killed myself in your monologue.
866
00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:15.380
What's that?
867
00:44:16.260 --> 00:44:17.929
I almost killed myself.
868
00:44:18.570 --> 00:44:21.230
So that's the thing. It's about changing the mentality. And
869
00:44:21.289 --> 00:44:23.750
I went into this segment thinking interest rates are going
870
00:44:23.769 --> 00:44:25.989
to go up. This is terrible for America. And then
871
00:44:26.010 --> 00:44:28.090
you come on and say, guys, you're not looking at
872
00:44:28.130 --> 00:44:30.409
it this right way. Flip the table over and find
873
00:44:30.429 --> 00:44:33.789
the opportunities underneath it. Grant Cardone, I love the Cardone
874
00:44:33.809 --> 00:44:36.030
zones on Tuesdays. I can't wait to talk to you
875
00:44:36.429 --> 00:44:38.809
next Tuesday. And we'll talk more about the opportunities for
876
00:44:38.849 --> 00:44:40.630
all America. Thank you so much for being here.
877
00:44:41.769 --> 00:44:42.110
Thanks, David.
878
00:44:43.070 --> 00:44:48.010
Still ahead, the rapper Macklemore. He appears to hate everything
879
00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:52.699
about America, except it's free speech protections. More on him
880
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:55.659
getting kicked off a tour for the things that came
881
00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:57.519
out of his mouth. That's coming up next.
882
00:45:04.969 --> 00:45:06.769

you can't get anywhere else.
892
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:46.480
The rapper, Macklemore, you remember him? The thrift shop guy?
893
00:45:46.500 --> 00:45:49.400
I'm not going to sing it for you if you don't. Well,
894
00:45:49.449 --> 00:45:53.659
he just got kicked off of Ed Sheeran's stadium tour.
895
00:45:54.340 --> 00:45:55.139
Gone.
896
00:45:56.210 --> 00:45:58.949
And right now, of course, he's going to every platform
897
00:45:58.989 --> 00:46:02.849
he can find to cry about it. Casted as the victim,
898
00:46:02.889 --> 00:46:07.170
poor Macklemore. Wrapping himself in the flag of free speech
899
00:46:07.230 --> 00:46:13.639
and artistic courage. Now, here's the story. Macklemore, he was
900
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.949
the opening act on Ed Sheeran's American tour. And at
901
00:46:16.969 --> 00:46:20.590
the first shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, he
902
00:46:20.650 --> 00:46:23.909
decided to turn his opening set into a political rally,
903
00:46:23.949 --> 00:46:28.889
of course, chanting, free Palestine, over and over, wearing one
904
00:46:28.909 --> 00:46:33.829
of them little scarves and performing a protest anthem while
905
00:46:33.869 --> 00:46:36.829
footage from the war in Gaza played on the giant
906
00:46:36.869 --> 00:46:39.550
screens behind him. Now, it didn't go over well.
907
00:46:39.590 --> 00:46:39.780
Look.
908
00:46:40.250 --> 00:46:41.610
I've been trying to figure out a way to say
909
00:46:41.650 --> 00:46:44.590
this all day. One of the reasons why I wanted
910
00:46:44.630 --> 00:46:47.429
to come on this tour was because I wanted to
911
00:46:47.510 --> 00:46:53.800
stand up here on stages and stadiums across America and
912
00:46:53.860 --> 00:46:57.940
say two words that are very near and dear to
913
00:46:57.980 --> 00:47:01.159
my heart, free Palestine.
914
00:47:03.219 --> 00:47:05.760
That is not why you're there on the tour. You're
915
00:47:05.780 --> 00:47:11.989
supposed to perform, perform. Nobody cares about your politics, Macklemore.
916
00:47:12.010 --> 00:47:17.570
Because politics are the thrift shop. Now, pro-Israel groups launched petitions.
917
00:47:18.090 --> 00:47:21.659
Stadium owners, including Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium, said,
918
00:47:22.380 --> 00:47:25.179
not in my building. And just like that, Macklemore was
919
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:29.489
off the tour. This isn't the first time Macklemore has
920
00:47:29.530 --> 00:47:32.349
been involved in controversy. This is a guy who had
921
00:47:32.429 --> 00:47:36.829
another show just last year, grabbed a microphone and told
922
00:47:36.929 --> 00:47:38.409
a crowd, and I'm going to clean it up for
923
00:47:38.449 --> 00:47:44.619
you for television, two other words, F America. That's right.
924
00:47:45.300 --> 00:47:50.739
Free Palestine, but F America. That's Macklemore. Well, Robert Kraft,
925
00:47:50.980 --> 00:47:53.739
he's not having an explaining. His decision, he pointed to
926
00:47:53.780 --> 00:47:57.440
what he called his broader history of anti-Semitic rhetoric, including
927
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:00.360
a costume years ago, apparently, that a lot of people
928
00:48:00.420 --> 00:48:04.659
found pretty grotesque. Not a country that he says to F.
929
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:09.679
He wants to hide behind his constitutional protections? We'll see
930
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:16.280
what Hamas thinks about your ability to speak freely. But now,
931
00:48:16.500 --> 00:48:19.940
save your sympathy, because there are conservative artists in this
932
00:48:20.019 --> 00:48:23.699
country who have been quietly blacklisted for years, frozen out,
933
00:48:23.739 --> 00:48:27.099
dropped by their labels, uninvited from shows, canceled, not for
934
00:48:27.139 --> 00:48:30.650
saying F America, not for saying free Palestine, but for
935
00:48:30.730 --> 00:48:35.130
loving this country or even backing President Trump. They don't
936
00:48:35.150 --> 00:48:38.610
get sympathetic press tours. They don't get headlines. They don't
937
00:48:38.630 --> 00:48:41.500
go to social media and cry about it. My next
938
00:48:41.579 --> 00:48:43.980
guest is somebody they've tried to cancel, but they can't.
939
00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:48.519
A genuinely talented singer who loves America, and she's paid
940
00:48:48.539 --> 00:48:51.030
a professional price for it. And she knows exactly what
941
00:48:51.050 --> 00:48:53.530
this industry does to people who won't toe its line.
942
00:48:53.769 --> 00:48:56.789
I'm honored to be joined by Billboard charting artist Joy Vila.
943
00:48:56.829 --> 00:49:00.349
Welcome back. Dave Pollack, Prime Time. Hello.
944
00:49:01.500 --> 00:49:03.659
Listen, I know what Ed Sheeran was thinking when he
945
00:49:03.699 --> 00:49:10.070
saw Macklemore. He said, darling, I don't want anti-Semitism on
946
00:49:10.110 --> 00:49:13.090
my tour. That's what he was probably singing because he
947
00:49:13.230 --> 00:49:18.090
must have been absolutely shocked because Ed Sheeran is notoriously
948
00:49:18.289 --> 00:49:19.289
not political, right?
949
00:49:19.309 --> 00:49:19.710
I don't think he.
950
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:20.940
one political thing.
951
00:49:20.980 --> 00:49:21.539
He's a singer.
952
00:49:21.579 --> 00:49:22.440
He's a songwriter.
953
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:23.920
He's loved by many.
954
00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:27.699
He's probably like Michael Jordan. You know, he probably thinks
955
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:31.559
Republicans buy my music too. So why tick anybody off?
956
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:31.960
Right.
957
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:36.280
But Macklemore, Macklemore, who hasn't had a hit song since
958
00:49:36.300 --> 00:49:41.719
2014's Thrift Shop, right? Or was that 2007? Anyways, it's
959
00:49:41.739 --> 00:49:43.500
been so long that we don't even know when that
960
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:47.300
last album came out that was a hit. He's 42.
961
00:49:47.300 --> 00:49:49.199
You think he would have learned lessons by now to
962
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:54.099
respect other cultures. But in 2014, not only was that
963
00:49:54.219 --> 00:49:56.860
look grotesque. I mean, if you pull up the pictures,
964
00:49:56.909 --> 00:49:59.929
if anybody at home looks at those pictures, he denied
965
00:49:59.969 --> 00:50:03.440
that it was an anti-Semitic. but yet it had a
966
00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:07.210
black bowl cut, straight black hair, a big suit, and
967
00:50:07.230 --> 00:50:10.929
a huge fake nose. He roamed around stage performing in
968
00:50:10.929 --> 00:50:15.409
2014 saying, oh, yeah, it was not an anti-Semitic reference.
969
00:50:15.429 --> 00:50:19.449
I mean, he obviously looked like the very grotesque version
970
00:50:19.889 --> 00:50:23.309
of what the Nazis portrayed for Jewish people. And here
971
00:50:23.349 --> 00:50:28.460
he is, one love, gay rights, and now it's Palestine. Okay, Macklemore,
972
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:31.199
I think the truth is you only like certain types
973
00:50:31.260 --> 00:50:31.619
of people.
974
00:50:31.659 --> 00:50:32.780
You don't like America.
975
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:35.909
You don't like Jews. You probably don't even like Black people,
976
00:50:36.230 --> 00:50:38.429
even though you stole their music being a rapper.
977
00:50:38.710 --> 00:50:39.369
Let's be real.
978
00:50:39.389 --> 00:50:42.489
You're just the same as all these Hollywood Democrats, an
979
00:50:42.650 --> 00:50:46.789
inside racist. But when the cameras are rolling, you love everybody.
980
00:50:47.179 --> 00:50:50.019
Yeah, well, and that's, you know, the heart of all
981
00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:51.889
of this, and it's such a good point you make,
982
00:50:52.260 --> 00:50:54.489
the heart of all of this is it's not about Palestine,
983
00:50:54.510 --> 00:50:56.690
it's not about the Jews, it's not about any of
984
00:50:56.730 --> 00:51:00.150
these things, it's not about America. The reality is he's
985
00:51:00.690 --> 00:51:05.699
either completely indoctrinated by it or an intentional spokesman for it.
986
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:11.280
this separatist socialist movement that just wants to reframe America
987
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:13.800
as a place that people should hate. And whatever cause
988
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.320
they can adopt that seemingly hates America, well, that's their friend.
989
00:51:17.380 --> 00:51:19.320
An enemy of my enemy is my friend. And he's
990
00:51:19.340 --> 00:51:20.559
just a mouthpiece for it, right?
991
00:51:21.460 --> 00:51:24.070
And meanwhile, profiting off of America. You know, if you
992
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:27.110
hate America so much, listen, America has its issues. Our
993
00:51:27.130 --> 00:51:29.809
country is not perfect, but it's trying to be a
994
00:51:29.949 --> 00:51:33.840
more perfect nation, right? We have had a tumultuous past
995
00:51:33.860 --> 00:51:35.119
like many other countries.
996
00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:35.659
We're new.
997
00:51:35.699 --> 00:51:39.210
We're 250 years old. We're doing our best to move forward.
998
00:51:39.510 --> 00:51:42.309
And I feel like we've moved a lot forward. And
999
00:51:42.349 --> 00:51:44.210
I love this country. This is the country I was
1000
00:51:44.269 --> 00:51:47.929
born in. My parents come from immigrants. My family is immigrants.
1001
00:51:48.210 --> 00:51:51.150
But half of my family is Black American, brought here
1002
00:51:51.190 --> 00:51:53.650
by no fault of their own, right, if you trace
1003
00:51:53.690 --> 00:51:57.590
down slavery. And even though that my Black family loves America,
1004
00:51:57.789 --> 00:52:01.550
my Italian-Argentinian family loves America, I love America because this
1005
00:52:01.630 --> 00:52:05.010
is my home And you can slightly criticize something, but
1006
00:52:05.050 --> 00:52:08.639
to demean it and say, down with America. Meanwhile, you're
1007
00:52:08.659 --> 00:52:11.650
making all the money from America. Meanwhile, you're born here.
1008
00:52:11.670 --> 00:52:15.969
I mean, first of all, him getting kicked off of
1009
00:52:16.070 --> 00:52:20.719
Ed Sheeran's tour. is the consequences of his actions. Meanwhile,
1010
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.969
somebody like me or somebody like Kaya Jones of the
1011
00:52:23.010 --> 00:52:28.590
Pussycat Dolls or any artists who are publicly outspoken for Jesus,
1012
00:52:28.690 --> 00:52:33.010
for America, for decency, we're not nude, we're not cursing,
1013
00:52:33.050 --> 00:52:36.550
we're not waving gay flags all day, all everywhere. We
1014
00:52:36.590 --> 00:52:40.059
love the president, we love America. We don't get invited
1015
00:52:40.099 --> 00:52:43.219
to these tours. We get kicked out of places. But
1016
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:47.420
here he is, the consequence of his actions, you know, divisive.
1017
00:52:47.659 --> 00:52:49.159
And he's going to complain and say, well, this was
1018
00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:51.469
the best tour. He said, oh, this is the best
1019
00:52:51.510 --> 00:52:54.130
tour I've ever been in because I'm standing up for freedom. Bro,
1020
00:52:54.190 --> 00:52:56.349
take a seat and make an album that people will
1021
00:52:56.409 --> 00:52:57.289
actually listen to.
1022
00:52:57.940 --> 00:53:01.199
That's exactly right. It's the victim mentality and blame everyone
1023
00:53:01.260 --> 00:53:04.300
else but themselves. Joy Vila, I love having you on
1024
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:05.940
the show. Thank you so much for your excellent takes
1025
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:06.340
as always.
1026
00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:07.480
It's a pleasure.
1027
00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:12.639
That is our show for tonight. Join us tomorrow for
1028
00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:16.679
another Weaponization Wednesday. That's our new segment where we highlight
1029
00:53:16.780 --> 00:53:19.550
instances where the government. has turned against its citizens, and
1030
00:53:19.570 --> 00:53:22.730
we asked the question, is it weaponization? Tomorrow, we're going
1031
00:53:22.750 --> 00:53:25.190
to sit down with a doctor, an emergency room physician,
1032
00:53:25.670 --> 00:53:28.369
who says his own government did that. In fact, to him,
1033
00:53:28.650 --> 00:53:30.929
his story is unbelievable, and that's coming up tomorrow. Stay

1
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:15.080
With seven weeks until the midterm elections, the fight to
2
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.100
secure how America votes has run into one wall after
3
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:23.640
the next. And as of last night, every major effort
4
00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:28.010
to change the rules of mail-in voting before November has
5
00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:33.329
come up short. Three fronts. Here's exactly where each one stands.
6
00:00:33.409 --> 00:00:36.679
Front one, the courts. And the biggest case of them all,
7
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.179
you might recall, on June 29th of this year, the
8
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.549
Supreme Court decided Watson versus the RNC a case. The
9
00:00:42.590 --> 00:00:45.490
Republican National Committee had fought for two years arguing that
10
00:00:45.549 --> 00:00:48.530
mail-in ballots must be received by Election Day, not just
11
00:00:48.609 --> 00:00:53.229
postmarked by it. Common sense, right? The RNC lost five
12
00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:56.399
to four. The court ruled states can keep counting ballots
13
00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:59.020
that arrive after Election Day as long as they're postmarked
14
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:03.710
on time. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority,
15
00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:07.790
joined by Chief Justice Roberts and the three liberal justices.
16
00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:09.060
Of course.
17
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.840
Thomas Alito and Gorsuch dissented. Those were the heroes in
18
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.599
this case. And so the roughly 15 states with grace
19
00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:20.400
periods that let them keep counting until whenever the result
20
00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:23.980
comes in, well, that stands. Now, here's front two. The
21
00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:27.269
president's executive order. Trump had ordered the Postal Service to
22
00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:31.209
overhaul mail ballots, barcodes on every envelope, verify voter list
23
00:01:31.269 --> 00:01:35.670
ballots going only to confirmed eligible voters. On August 24th,
24
00:01:36.189 --> 00:01:41.019
the court gave him a preliminary win. Things were looking up. No, no, no.
25
00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:44.599
Last night, it reversed course for this cycle, leaving a
26
00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:48.909
lower court block in place, 6-3, with only Thomas and
27
00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:54.829
Alito dissenting. Now, the reason given was timing. They said
28
00:01:54.849 --> 00:01:58.890
there wasn't enough time for states to comply before November,
29
00:01:58.909 --> 00:02:02.750
and the president's reaction, well, he's pretty ticked off, let's
30
00:02:02.769 --> 00:02:05.810
just say that. In a statement on Truth Social, he
31
00:02:05.849 --> 00:02:11.360
blasted the court directly, saying... Republicans just got another bad
32
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.939
decision from the United States Supreme Court. He blamed it
33
00:02:13.979 --> 00:02:17.639
in part on no time left to implement a solution
34
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.419
to our totally corrupt and out-of-control mail-in voting disaster. Justices
35
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.659
Alito and Thomas, legends, both strongly disagreed with this horrible,
36
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.969
highly political ruling. It is as big of a loss
37
00:02:29.990 --> 00:02:32.909
for Republicans and America itself, and it makes cheating by
38
00:02:32.949 --> 00:02:37.090
the radical left, Democrats, on mail-in ballots a much easier
39
00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:40.370
thing to do. These are not the people I interviewed
40
00:02:40.430 --> 00:02:45.050
to serve on the United States Supreme Court. The boss
41
00:02:45.370 --> 00:02:49.490
is not happy. That brings us to the third front,
42
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:51.509
the one that could still fix all of this, but
43
00:02:51.530 --> 00:02:55.099
it ain't gonna, the Save America Act. You know, the
44
00:02:55.150 --> 00:02:57.569
one that would have required proof of citizenship to register
45
00:02:57.590 --> 00:03:00.310
and photo ID to vote and also some mail-in ballot reform.
46
00:03:00.710 --> 00:03:03.939
It's passed the House like five times. Sits there in
47
00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:09.180
the Senate, dead, gathering dust, leaving that analogy alone every
48
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.840
time it goes to the Senate, short of the 60
49
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.129
votes to break a filibuster. And there is no sign.
50
00:03:15.669 --> 00:03:17.729
That is going to change anytime soon. So here's where
51
00:03:17.750 --> 00:03:22.750
things stand tonight. The RNCs, that case is lost. The
52
00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:26.569
executive order, blocked for this cycle at least. The Save
53
00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:33.539
America Act, stalled hopelessly. Which means November's midterms, the elections
54
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:39.000
that decide control of Congress, will run under essentially the
55
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:44.099
same mail-in rules as before. Not one of the changes changed.
56
00:03:44.689 --> 00:03:48.400
made it across the finish line. That's not good. Now,
57
00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:51.580
to break down where this actually leaves us seven weeks out,
58
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.020
let's bring in Josh Hammer, senior counsel with the Article
59
00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:59.039
3 Project. Josh, welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
60
00:04:00.539 --> 00:04:05.729
It just seems no matter where you turn, roadblock, roadblock, roadblock, hopelessness, hopelessness,
61
00:04:06.110 --> 00:04:08.090
and the president's right to be mad. We have to
62
00:04:08.150 --> 00:04:11.550
secure the mail-in vote. It's really the highest risk we
63
00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:14.250
have and the biggest opportunity we have for fraudsters, right?
64
00:04:16.009 --> 00:04:18.389
You know, David, in the first few months of this
65
00:04:18.550 --> 00:04:21.550
second Trump administration, I and my colleagues at the Oracle
66
00:04:21.550 --> 00:04:24.310
3 Project, we were talking about the judicial insurrection was
67
00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:26.350
a term that we used a lot of a little
68
00:04:26.410 --> 00:04:30.750
over a year ago. And I now have to openly speculate,
69
00:04:30.850 --> 00:04:34.399
you know, now here we are. Donald Trump's second term
70
00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:37.060
is hard to believe. It's almost halfway through, not quite,
71
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:39.600
but we're getting close to it. I have to ask
72
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.089
whether or not the judicial insurrection has ever been quashed,
73
00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:44.810
whether it has ever been taken care of, whether it
74
00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:48.069
is still acting up right before our very own eyes.
75
00:04:48.129 --> 00:04:50.709
And to make matters worse, as you correctly note, when
76
00:04:50.750 --> 00:04:53.180
it came to the Watson versus RNC case, the mail-in
77
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.040
ballot case at the Supreme Court, a tremendous disappointment, a massive,
78
00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:59.980
massive letdown earlier this year. Sometimes the judicial insurrection seems
79
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.000
to be happening not just in the lower courts, but
80
00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:03.060
actually also at the U.S.
81
00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:03.649
Supreme Court.
82
00:05:03.689 --> 00:05:06.410
Frankly, from some of Donald Trump's own nominees, like Amy
83
00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:09.430
Coney Barrett, who continues to to have a, shall we say,
84
00:05:09.569 --> 00:05:14.709
checkered or spotty track record. Sam Lito or Clarence Thomas,
85
00:05:15.209 --> 00:05:19.740
she is not. Now, listen, David, if I'm being honest here,
86
00:05:19.889 --> 00:05:22.920
I have heard from some conservatives in the states, some
87
00:05:22.939 --> 00:05:26.759
Republican officials and various state attorneys general offices, saying that
88
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:29.420
they also were skeptical that their own state, these are
89
00:05:29.459 --> 00:05:32.750
red states, had enough time to prepare for the U.S.
90
00:05:32.769 --> 00:05:36.089
Postal Service regulation. Here's my response to that. That may
91
00:05:36.110 --> 00:05:38.050
or may not be true. It'll depend on the state.
92
00:05:38.329 --> 00:05:41.189
But here's the thing. The thing is that the Article
93
00:05:41.189 --> 00:05:44.939
2 executive branch, the president and all of the cabinets,
94
00:05:44.949 --> 00:05:47.939
the agencies, they can make rules when something is within
95
00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:50.480
their legitimate jurisdiction. And last I checked, Article 1 of
96
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:54.730
the Constitution made very clear The federal government has the
97
00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:59.170
ability to control the procedures and times and all the
98
00:05:59.230 --> 00:06:03.750
various other nonsense and proceduralities when it comes to federal elections.
99
00:06:03.829 --> 00:06:08.129
So this USPS rule, to me, fell squarely within that,
100
00:06:08.209 --> 00:06:10.449
which is why you had people like Clarence Thompson, Sam Molino,
101
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.399
yet again, crying foul. But it's where we're at, and
102
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.459
it's where we're at. And as you correctly note, there
103
00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:19.360
is a panacea out there. It's called the Safe America Act.
104
00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:21.600
I saw Mike Johnson, the speaker, just talking about it
105
00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:24.449
yet again. Over the weekend, I'm not entirely sure that
106
00:06:24.470 --> 00:06:26.790
John Thune's calculus on that question has changed, but if
107
00:06:26.810 --> 00:06:30.889
there's going to be a hero, a knight in shining armor,
108
00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:32.550
so to speak, David, I suspect that it would be
109
00:06:32.610 --> 00:06:34.209
that to save America at this late juncture.
110
00:06:34.629 --> 00:06:36.310
Yeah, I mean, that's what we're all hoping for, but
111
00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:39.069
it's hopeless to hope for it, honestly, because nobody's going
112
00:06:39.089 --> 00:06:42.170
to expect anything to change this close. I mean, we've
113
00:06:42.189 --> 00:06:44.750
been fighting this thing for months, and I hate that
114
00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:48.050
that's the reality. I hate that I'm sitting here saying, yeah,
115
00:06:48.110 --> 00:06:51.310
I guess we just have to just deal with it.
116
00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:53.620
It stinks. But I want to go back to what
117
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.620
you talked about, the judicial insurrection, because it's such an
118
00:06:55.670 --> 00:06:58.670
important point. And I want to get back to it because...
119
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.980
Even though there's this divide in MAGA and people are
120
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.779
suggesting that President Trump hasn't done what he promised to
121
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.040
do and there's people saying he should indict more people
122
00:07:09.339 --> 00:07:11.300
and all these things that they keep laying at his feet,
123
00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:14.509
all this blame, this judicial insurrection you talk about has
124
00:07:14.589 --> 00:07:17.329
consistently blocked Trump from doing a lot of the things
125
00:07:17.350 --> 00:07:19.790
that he's intended on doing, whether it's accountability for some
126
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:23.009
of these folks under Crossfire Hurricane or the Russian collusion,
127
00:07:23.089 --> 00:07:24.970
all of these things. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE.
128
00:07:24.990 --> 00:07:26.230
I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE. YOU KEEP MEETING JUDGES
129
00:07:26.269 --> 00:07:28.800
AND PEOPLE SAYING THESE ARE REPUBLICAN JUDGES OR EVEN TRUMP
130
00:07:28.810 --> 00:07:31.079
APPOINTED JUDGES IN THE CASE OF SOME OF THESE JUSTICES.
131
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.379
BUT I REALLY FEEL LIKE THERE'S STILL THIS ANTI-TRUMP ESTABLISHMENT
132
00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:40.259
OUT THERE ON OUR OWN SIDE THAT HAS LIKE, AND
133
00:07:40.300 --> 00:07:42.790
MAYBE I'M SEEING THIS WRONG, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY
134
00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:46.069
HAVE BLOCKED THE PRESIDENT JUST AS SUCCESSFULLY AS THE LEFT
135
00:07:46.110 --> 00:07:48.029
HAS DONE IT AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING FOR ME TO SEE.
136
00:07:48.069 --> 00:07:49.790
AM I WRONG? AM I SEEING THIS INCORRECTLY?
137
00:07:54.250 --> 00:07:56.550
So even on the lawfare, on the indictments, as you
138
00:07:56.569 --> 00:07:59.689
correctly point out, we did see the tossing out of
139
00:07:59.730 --> 00:08:02.899
the indictments of people like James Comey, people like Tish James,
140
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.839
attorney general of New York State. So the president has
141
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.839
had virtually the entirety of his agenda, everything from immigration
142
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:14.389
to tariffs to lawfare and beyond. He has had it stopped.
143
00:08:14.829 --> 00:08:17.990
by lower courts and, indeed, the Supreme Court. And, yes,
144
00:08:18.029 --> 00:08:21.290
it is true that the least dangerous branch, Article 3,
145
00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:23.189
does have the power to serve as a check on
146
00:08:23.250 --> 00:08:24.550
Article 1 of the Congress and Article 2 of the
147
00:08:24.569 --> 00:08:27.410
executive branch. It is also true that Donald Trump has
148
00:08:27.430 --> 00:08:31.180
been the victim of more so-called nationwide universal injunctions and
149
00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:35.330
various other similar procedural rulings. than all the other presidents
150
00:08:35.350 --> 00:08:37.669
in American history combined. That is just a fact. You
151
00:08:37.690 --> 00:08:38.169
can look it up.
152
00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:39.470
There are people who track this.
153
00:08:40.009 --> 00:08:43.210
And that's not just calling balls and strikes, to paraphrase
154
00:08:43.250 --> 00:08:45.980
John Roberts back at the 2005 Senate confirmation hearing. That
155
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.340
is putting an ideological thumb on the scales of Trump.
156
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.639
had to fight back against that. Listen, there's also the
157
00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:57.580
longer-term question of judicial nominees. Now, Donald Trump's lower court
158
00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.899
picks in both his first term and his second term
159
00:09:00.230 --> 00:09:04.029
have been invariably phenomenal. There are very, very, very few
160
00:09:04.110 --> 00:09:06.610
Trump picks in the lower courts that I can identify
161
00:09:06.649 --> 00:09:07.809
and say that was a miss.
162
00:09:07.909 --> 00:09:09.029
There are a handful.
163
00:09:09.090 --> 00:09:13.409
It's really neither here nor there. Overwhelming success when it
164
00:09:13.450 --> 00:09:14.330
comes to lower courts.
165
00:09:14.649 --> 00:09:15.830
When it comes to the question of the U.S.
166
00:09:15.850 --> 00:09:21.190
Supreme Court, look, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett are just
167
00:09:21.269 --> 00:09:22.649
not Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito.
168
00:09:22.690 --> 00:09:23.370
They're just not.
169
00:09:23.409 --> 00:09:26.169
Kavanaugh, I tend to prefer slightly to Barrett, but really
170
00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:29.769
neither is batting at a high enough average. So there
171
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.200
are some things that we're still not getting right when
172
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:34.960
it comes to the absolute highest level of judicial nominations.
173
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.000
I thought there was a real chance that Sam Alito
174
00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:39.879
might resign this break. He clearly has decided not to
175
00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:41.580
do so. So we'll see if Donald Trump gets an
176
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.980
opportunity to nominate another justice to the high court. At
177
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.940
this point, it's entirely possible, frankly, that he doesn't. But
178
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.570
that will be another area to potentially try to remedy
179
00:09:50.669 --> 00:09:52.950
the ship of this judicial insurrection if we get that opportunity.
180
00:09:53.350 --> 00:09:53.570
Yeah.
181
00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:57.889
You know, I try not to sit back in the
182
00:09:58.269 --> 00:10:01.210
realm of sort of partisan, conspiracy and be like, oh,
183
00:10:01.330 --> 00:10:03.970
everybody is just, you know, it's just all against Trump.
184
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.669
But man, like you said, you see this happening and
185
00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:09.080
you're so frustrated because Barack Obama was basically able to
186
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:11.899
do whatever he wanted to do with his bench. And
187
00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:14.440
then you get Donald Trump and it's like every opportunity,
188
00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.240
like you said, national injunctions, the Supreme Court handing down
189
00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:19.600
decisions that make us go, what? The dissents making a
190
00:10:19.629 --> 00:10:22.159
lot more sense than the majority opinions. The three liberal
191
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.259
justices consistently holding to their ideology when the conservative justices
192
00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:28.860
keep breaking from it. It's very frustrating to me. It's
193
00:10:28.899 --> 00:10:30.679
frustrating to a lot of American people. And at the
194
00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:32.299
end of the day, this isn't about Trump. This isn't
195
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.100
about politics. This is about securing American elections. And like
196
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.720
you said, Trump has the ability to make rules in
197
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.559
his own executive branch. And it's not up to the
198
00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:41.490
Supreme Court to decide what the states can and can't
199
00:10:41.539 --> 00:10:43.929
do within reason. And so I don't think this makes
200
00:10:43.990 --> 00:10:46.250
a lot of sense. But look, we'll keep fighting. Josh Hammer,
201
00:10:46.549 --> 00:10:48.590
great takes as always. Thank you so much for being here.
202
00:10:49.149 --> 00:10:50.090
Always a pleasure, David. Thank you.
203
00:10:50.129 --> 00:10:54.899
Thank you. For three months, one of the most powerful
204
00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.730
men in the United States Senate. just kind of vanished.
205
00:10:59.269 --> 00:11:02.450
No one would say where he was, how's he doing.
206
00:11:02.490 --> 00:11:05.070
We had a couple of proof of life pictures. It
207
00:11:05.110 --> 00:11:07.470
led to some wild speculation with whether or not he
208
00:11:07.490 --> 00:11:11.190
was even still alive in some instances. But yesterday, yesterday,
209
00:11:11.269 --> 00:11:14.950
he showed up to vote. He's resurfacing. But there's still
210
00:11:15.029 --> 00:11:17.389
a lot more questions, and the story is far from over.
211
00:11:17.629 --> 00:11:19.600
We're discussing all of that right after the break.
212
00:11:27.990 --> 00:11:29.789

222
00:12:04.149 --> 00:12:07.269
Last night, we asked a pretty simple question, kind of
223
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:12.460
a ridiculous question. Where's Mitch McConnell? Will he be seen today?
224
00:12:13.340 --> 00:12:16.679
For nearly three months, the former leader of the Senate,
225
00:12:18.019 --> 00:12:20.409
he's probably one of them, at least was one of
226
00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:23.629
the most powerful men in Washington. He vanished from public
227
00:12:23.710 --> 00:12:28.200
view after a medical incident. He's calling it a fall. Now,
228
00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:31.679
he hasn't cast a vote since June. His office went
229
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.960
completely silent, except for those two proof-of-life pictures he got,
230
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.590
one with the newspaper. It was really odd. Now, tonight,
231
00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:43.370
we have an answer about Mitch McConnell's health. He appears
232
00:12:43.830 --> 00:12:47.490
to be back, ending all the speculation about Mitch McConnell.
233
00:12:48.389 --> 00:12:51.009
He was wheeled onto the House floor of the United
234
00:12:51.049 --> 00:12:55.350
States Senate. And he cast his first vote in 90 days. Now,
235
00:12:55.370 --> 00:12:58.590
in a Senate this closely divided, his vote was the
236
00:12:58.629 --> 00:13:01.840
deciding one, 47 to 46, to advance another one of
237
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.840
President Trump's judicial nominees. That's a win. Can't get upset
238
00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:08.799
with the man for that. In a statement, McConnell's office
239
00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:11.610
said his recovery has been, quote, well, they say he
240
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.570
said it, a long and often frustrating process made harder
241
00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:19.789
by the lingering effects of childhood polio that he survived
242
00:13:19.809 --> 00:13:23.269
decades ago. He admitted he's, in his words, still not
243
00:13:23.370 --> 00:13:26.779
quite back to 100%. He told his colleagues he intends
244
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.059
to be there for the tough votes when his conference
245
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.799
needs him. And to reporters waiting for him, he put
246
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.980
it plainly, time to get back to work. Finished a
247
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.700
job for this Congress. So the mystery's solved. That's it.
248
00:13:38.299 --> 00:13:42.470
He's alive. He's working, sort of. And the wild speculation
249
00:13:42.490 --> 00:13:45.049
that filled the vacuum these past three months can finally
250
00:13:45.090 --> 00:13:48.639
be put to rest, right? Well, sort of, because the
251
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.679
bigger question remains, how is his cognition? How is his health?
252
00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:57.700
Is simply being able to show up to vote smiling?
253
00:13:59.590 --> 00:14:02.409
Being propped up by the people who hold power just
254
00:14:02.450 --> 00:14:05.730
for the sake of the institution? Is that the principle
255
00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:08.970
this republic was founded on? The American people have every
256
00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:11.830
right to still ask these questions about the age, health,
257
00:14:11.870 --> 00:14:15.590
and fitness of the people who hold power over our lives.
258
00:14:16.649 --> 00:14:20.509
That's not being insensitive. It's accountability. Now, let's talk about
259
00:14:20.750 --> 00:14:23.889
where this story goes next here with Reaction Social Media Influencer.
260
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:29.500
Greg is fire. Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
261
00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:32.220
This story is the weirdest story. It is the weirdest
262
00:14:32.259 --> 00:14:35.480
story because we were doing yesterday, we were like watching
263
00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:37.460
a reporter staked out in front of his house. Real
264
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.080
question about whether or not he would show up. He did.
265
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.559
People are questioning whether or not he was alive. I mean,
266
00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:45.779
that's how crazy this story became. They weren't even sure
267
00:14:46.330 --> 00:14:48.009
what the status was of a U.S.
268
00:14:48.029 --> 00:14:48.269
Senator.
269
00:14:48.309 --> 00:14:51.250
And all we had was two stills. The weirdest thing ever.
270
00:14:51.269 --> 00:14:53.730
So now he's back. But, Greg, this doesn't put to
271
00:14:53.789 --> 00:15:00.190
rest the concern over, you know, the aging representatives of
272
00:15:00.750 --> 00:15:03.090
in Washington without term limits and whether they're representing the
273
00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:04.169
interests of their constituents, right?
274
00:15:06.809 --> 00:15:09.690
Yeah, we need term limits. I'm pretty sure Trump backs
275
00:15:09.750 --> 00:15:12.850
term limits too. I'm sure it's the senators who know
276
00:15:12.889 --> 00:15:14.669
they've made a fortune and they'll stay in there for
277
00:15:14.710 --> 00:15:17.500
as long as it takes. Look at McConnell, barely hanging on,
278
00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:21.080
but his wife's probably like, hey, look, you're cashing checks, honey.
279
00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:23.059
Let's just make it happen. He talks to him and
280
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.059
he's sitting there and he's probably not even making a
281
00:15:25.100 --> 00:15:27.600
noise or a peep. I was surprised to see him
282
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.490
come out of the vehicle this morning. Now, apparently he
283
00:15:30.570 --> 00:15:32.139
took a vote yesterday. Is that right?
284
00:15:32.659 --> 00:15:32.840
Yeah.
285
00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:33.539
Today too.
286
00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:35.500
He did take a vote.
287
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.000
Well, he was there to take a vote, but they
288
00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:39.059
couldn't get cloture. So he didn't have to vote, but yeah,
289
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.600
he took a vote yesterday. Actually he was deciding vote.
290
00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:42.570
So he's voting.
291
00:15:42.710 --> 00:15:42.889
Yeah.
292
00:15:43.309 --> 00:15:43.610
He's voting.
293
00:15:43.629 --> 00:15:43.710
Yeah.
294
00:15:43.730 --> 00:15:44.149
He's voting.
295
00:15:44.190 --> 00:15:46.529
I mean, that's, that's a good step. I think at
296
00:15:46.570 --> 00:15:48.970
this point, I think I heard that he missed 61
297
00:15:48.970 --> 00:15:49.470
roll calls.
298
00:15:49.990 --> 00:15:50.169
Wow.
299
00:15:50.309 --> 00:15:53.549
Over this time. I mean, and look, the money they're making,
300
00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.419
the net worths, it's unbelievable. I don't care if you're
301
00:15:56.450 --> 00:15:59.230
Republican or Democrat. We should want reform. We should want
302
00:16:00.309 --> 00:16:02.529
term limits. We should want people to come in, do
303
00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:05.169
the job, get out. They're getting too comfortable. There's nothing
304
00:16:05.210 --> 00:16:05.850
to stop them.
305
00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:06.879
They don't care anymore.
306
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.559
They don't show up half the time anyways. Even if
307
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.720
Mitch McConnell was healthy, you look at some of the
308
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.200
senators who don't even show up for a lot of
309
00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:13.559
the votes.
310
00:16:14.230 --> 00:16:16.509
Yeah, and look, it is not a knock on the man.
311
00:16:16.830 --> 00:16:21.840
I'm glad that he's alive and healthy-ish. Honestly, I am.
312
00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:24.019
I mean, we don't ever wish anyone harm, and he's
313
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.100
been a good Republican for a lot of part of
314
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.419
his career. Now, lately, there's been some beef with Donald Trump.
315
00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:32.980
He hasn't backed the Save America Act. That's very frustrating.
316
00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:35.580
But that being said, nobody's wishing him harm. Nobody's wishing
317
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.970
anything ill-will towards him. But the fact remains, that seat
318
00:16:40.009 --> 00:16:42.539
doesn't belong to him. And you mentioned... IT'S A PAYCHECK
319
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.559
FOR HIM. I DON'T THINK IT'S A PAYCHECK FOR HIM.
320
00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:47.879
I THINK IT'S A I THINK IT'S THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM.
321
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.080
IT'S THE INFLUENCE THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. IT'S THE POWER
322
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.179
THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. IT'S THE JOBS OF HIS STAFF
323
00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:56.299
THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. YOU KNOW, IT'S THE OBLIGATIONS. I
324
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.580
DON'T THINK THE MITCH MCCONNELL THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO THE
325
00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:02.139
FLOOR TO VOTE IS THE MITCH MCCONNELL THAT HIS VOTERS ELECTED.
326
00:17:02.210 --> 00:17:07.609
I THINK IT'S THE MITCH MCCONNELL. THAT'S WHAT HE'S THERE
327
00:17:07.650 --> 00:17:11.509
TO SERVE. HE'S THERE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT SORT
328
00:17:11.549 --> 00:17:14.869
OF ORBIT HIM, AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT
329
00:17:14.950 --> 00:17:17.670
SERVING THE PEOPLE BECAUSE HOW CAN ANYBODY ARGUE THAT HE
330
00:17:17.809 --> 00:17:20.750
IS ADVOCATING FOR THE PEOPLE OF HIS DISTRICT? AT THIS
331
00:17:20.789 --> 00:17:23.009
POINT HE'S NOT. I CAN'T IMAGINE HE IS, RIGHT?
332
00:17:25.170 --> 00:17:25.650
YEAH, I KNOW.
333
00:17:25.890 --> 00:17:28.099
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU THINK REALLY HE KNOWS WHAT'S
334
00:17:28.130 --> 00:17:30.559
GOING ON. IT'S LIKE A JOE BIDEN TYPE OF THING
335
00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:32.799
GOING ON. EVEN WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS IN, THE DIFFERENCE
336
00:17:32.819 --> 00:17:36.059
BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT HAS ALWAYS We weren't
337
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.180
going around saying, oh, I hope this is it for
338
00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:39.940
Joe Biden. You know, I remember a lot of my
339
00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:42.529
friends going, oh, wow, this is crazy. Like we felt
340
00:17:42.670 --> 00:17:44.410
so bad that he was put in that position and
341
00:17:44.430 --> 00:17:46.410
we knew he was just carrying out his duties. Like
342
00:17:46.430 --> 00:17:49.250
you're saying, like Mitch McConnell, everyone around him just saying,
343
00:17:49.309 --> 00:17:52.609
keep the ship going, keep the Democrats in power. I
344
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:54.329
feel like the same thing's happening with Mitch McConnell. You've
345
00:17:54.349 --> 00:17:56.769
had that seat for so long. They're afraid to lose
346
00:17:56.809 --> 00:17:58.950
that to a Democrat or at least afraid to lose
347
00:17:58.970 --> 00:18:01.390
that to somebody that they don't know, shake hands with
348
00:18:01.450 --> 00:18:04.869
backstage and know the game with. The game gets rigged
349
00:18:04.950 --> 00:18:06.849
by these people that are in for so long. So
350
00:18:07.309 --> 00:18:09.210
that's why I think Mitch McConnell is no longer doing
351
00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:12.049
the votes that we want. Like, we're not happy with
352
00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:14.140
a lot of these, you know, what do you call it?
353
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.380
Establishment Republicans that just sit in an office. They make
354
00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.980
such good friendships. They no longer have to really, you know, fight.
355
00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:22.640
They don't have to do anything. They're just like, hey,
356
00:18:23.019 --> 00:18:24.980
it's more important for them to sit back and go, yeah,
357
00:18:25.029 --> 00:18:26.650
I can help you, buddy. I can help you, buddy.
358
00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:29.500
more so than the actual people. And I'm sick of it,
359
00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.119
to be honest with you.
360
00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:32.220
Well, yeah, and I think that that's consistent with what
361
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.599
a lot of people feel. And it's not his. They
362
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.269
could have given that seat. They could have had an
363
00:18:37.329 --> 00:18:40.730
election and put somebody in place that could have actively...
364
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:43.140
REPRESENTED THE VOTERS OF KENTUCKY, AND THAT'S WHAT IT BALLS
365
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.400
DOWN TO. THAT SEAT DOES NOT BELONG. NONE OF THESE
366
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.019
SEATS BELONG TO THE POLITICIAN. THEY BELONG TO THE PEOPLE.
367
00:18:49.059 --> 00:18:52.319
AND THESE ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT THEY BUILD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE
368
00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:56.440
FOR ANYBODY TO CHALLENGE THEM, ESPECIALLY SENIOR LEADERSHIP LIKE MITCH MCCONNELL.
369
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.559
YOU CAN'T BEAT MITCH MCCONNELL. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY
370
00:18:58.819 --> 00:19:01.299
COMES IN HIS CAMPAIGNS FROM EVERYWHERE? BECAUSE HE IS, LIKE
371
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:03.819
YOU SAID, A PROVEN COMMODITY, A PROVEN VOTE. HE SHAKES
372
00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:05.839
HANDS WITH PEOPLE. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO FIX.
373
00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:08.819
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE FEEL FRUSTRATED. And, you know, we need
374
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.150
certain votes to back the president, especially with Save America. Look,
375
00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:15.869
I'm glad McConnell's doing better. I still think what he
376
00:19:15.930 --> 00:19:19.069
represents is is really something that needs to be fixed.
377
00:19:19.410 --> 00:19:21.819
And that's term limits and actual representation.
378
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.319
Yeah, I hope he comes out of this and somebody
379
00:19:25.339 --> 00:19:27.940
gets this, you know, comes out of this healthy, retires.
380
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:31.069
Somebody gets the seat that's aggressive, younger. They need to
381
00:19:31.089 --> 00:19:32.769
put somebody on that's going to be in there and
382
00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:35.880
obviously have the president's back. We've got a couple more years.
383
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.359
We need to get it done now. We've waited too long.
384
00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:40.880
I've been pushing myself saying, hey, look, even when I
385
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.759
hear criticisms, I'm like, look, I'm not beholden to anybody.
386
00:19:44.309 --> 00:19:47.190
I'm a Trump supporter, but I'm a conservative first. I
387
00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:48.890
want some of these things done that are going to
388
00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:51.640
save our country, you know. We can't be letting loose
389
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:54.119
ends when the Democrats one day get back in office.
390
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:55.599
We got to get it done now. So we need
391
00:19:55.619 --> 00:19:57.099
to get it done under Trump. He's one of the
392
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:01.490
strongest voices we're going to have. He's not an establishment Republican,
393
00:20:01.529 --> 00:20:04.109
regardless of what people say about his second term. He's
394
00:20:04.190 --> 00:20:06.009
still going to be out there and speak. I just
395
00:20:06.029 --> 00:20:08.710
heard him saying, we can't have this crazy mass migration.
396
00:20:08.750 --> 00:20:10.980
We got to keep the border safe You're not seeing
397
00:20:11.019 --> 00:20:12.900
that in a lot of the Western world right now.
398
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.420
So we got to get stuff done now.
399
00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:17.740
Yeah, I agree. Greg is fire. Thank you so much
400
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.559
for being here as always. Great takes. And I look
401
00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:20.819
forward to having you on again real soon, my friend.
402
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:22.680
Thanks, David. You're awesome, man.
403
00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:23.220
Appreciate you.
404
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.660
You are awesome too. Thank you.
405
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:25.859
Coming up.
406
00:20:26.630 --> 00:20:29.500
A former researcher at one of the biggest AI companies
407
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:34.299
on Earth? Well, he says the technology he's creating could
408
00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:39.160
kill us all. And 160 million people have watched him
409
00:20:39.329 --> 00:20:42.710
say it. Is anyone in Washington listening? It is time
410
00:20:42.970 --> 00:20:46.490
to regulate AI. Or is it too late? Stick around.
411

you can't get anywhere else.
421
00:21:27.009 --> 00:21:31.960
AI, AI seems to be taking over everything. And outside
422
00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:35.380
of flock cameras, I don't think people are more concerned
423
00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:39.400
about a technology outside of AI. And it's about to
424
00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:43.599
reshape every single corner of your life. And it's advancing
425
00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:49.119
faster than almost anyone is ready for. Here's an uncomfortable
426
00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:52.930
question nobody in Washington has an answer to. Who is
427
00:21:53.049 --> 00:21:57.460
making sure that Any of this is done safely. And
428
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.279
the answer right now is really not that many people.
429
00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:03.279
It's kind of nobody. I mean, there is some legislation
430
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.339
out there, but I don't know if it's coming soon enough.
431
00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:09.549
Let's go back three years. Call them the titans of
432
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:14.630
Silicon Valley. The very men building this technology sat down
433
00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:17.950
with United States Senate and warned them in their own words.
434
00:22:17.990 --> 00:22:21.809
These are the people who make it of a civilizational risk.
435
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.529
And this isn't some old story fading into the past.
436
00:22:25.549 --> 00:22:28.630
Just this week, a former researcher from one of the
437
00:22:28.690 --> 00:22:31.609
biggest AI companies in the world went public with a
438
00:22:31.690 --> 00:22:36.259
warning that the technology they are building could, quote, kill
439
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:41.000
us all. Why are they creating it? Why are they
440
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.400
creating a technology?
441
00:22:42.829 --> 00:22:43.109
Anyway.
442
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.519
That warning has now been seen more than 160 million times.
443
00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:52.539
And his former colleagues, they're not laughing at this. One
444
00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:55.119
of them who leads safety research at that very same company,
445
00:22:55.430 --> 00:22:58.369
he believes that it is better than a one in
446
00:22:58.369 --> 00:23:03.289
10 chance that AI, oh my gosh, that AI causes
447
00:23:03.589 --> 00:23:09.109
human extinction within a decade. One in 10, it's a
448
00:23:09.109 --> 00:23:13.210
10% chance. These are the people building it, saying that
449
00:23:13.230 --> 00:23:17.180
there's a 10% chance it ends us. And after three
450
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:21.960
years of warning like that, countless hearings, task forces, speeches,
451
00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:27.170
Congress hasn't really passed any comprehensive regulations. So President Trump
452
00:23:27.190 --> 00:23:29.289
has stepped in. He signed an executive order to create
453
00:23:29.309 --> 00:23:32.710
what he calls one rulebook, a single national standard for
454
00:23:32.809 --> 00:23:35.799
AI to stop a patchwork of 50 different state laws
455
00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:41.140
from strangling American innovation. I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING HERE.
456
00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:46.259
THE MORE WE LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO, I GUESS, HARNESS
457
00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:49.450
THIS TECHNOLOGY, OTHER COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
458
00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:51.819
PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT TO SEE CHINA HAVE ANY ADVANTAGE.
459
00:23:57.289 --> 00:24:00.690
HE LOOKED AT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER AND HE CALLED IT
460
00:24:00.750 --> 00:24:03.930
A SUBSIDY TO BIG TECH THAT LETS TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES RUN WILD.
461
00:24:04.250 --> 00:24:08.029
AND CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE CAME OUT AGAINST IT. AND
462
00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:10.980
PLENTY OF LEGAL SCHOLARS ARE ARGUING THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER CAN'T
463
00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:13.980
LEGALLY OVERRIDE STATE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE. ONLY CONGRESS
464
00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:16.420
CAN DO THAT. SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? THE
465
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:19.339
MOST POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE
466
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.240
IS BEING BUILT AT BREAK-NECK SPEED BY PEOPLE WHO THEMSELVES
467
00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:28.119
ARE WARNING IT CAN END US. And the government of
468
00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:31.240
the United States can't agree on how to regulate them.
469
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:34.779
To talk about where this thing goes next, and somebody's
470
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.710
been sounding the alarm on this for years. He built
471
00:24:36.750 --> 00:24:40.049
an entire social media platform to kind of fight it
472
00:24:40.109 --> 00:24:43.690
in some ways. Jeff Dornick, founder of Pickaxe, my good friend.
473
00:24:43.730 --> 00:24:51.089
Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time. You go first.
474
00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:53.759
Honestly, with all of this, right?
475
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.579
I'm just sitting here and I'm like, there's a propaganda
476
00:24:57.619 --> 00:25:01.130
machine that's happening on both sides of the aisle right now.
477
00:25:01.230 --> 00:25:04.589
Like on one hand, you've got the anti-AI crowd that's like,
478
00:25:04.910 --> 00:25:08.609
it's going to destroy humanity. Everybody's going to die instantaneously
479
00:25:08.650 --> 00:25:10.250
because AI robots are going to go rogue and we
480
00:25:10.269 --> 00:25:12.410
have Terminator. And then you've got the other side, like,
481
00:25:12.430 --> 00:25:15.309
you know, that's President Trump pushing the narrative that like,
482
00:25:15.549 --> 00:25:17.470
there's no chance that that's going to happen. And anybody
483
00:25:17.490 --> 00:25:20.400
who says that is a Chinese propagandist. And at a
484
00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.960
certain point, I'm kind of looking at this and I'm like,
485
00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:24.930
I don't necessarily agree with either side, and I also
486
00:25:24.970 --> 00:25:27.049
agree with both sides at the same time. Like, the
487
00:25:27.150 --> 00:25:29.009
truth is somewhere in the middle or this kind of
488
00:25:29.089 --> 00:25:33.109
third option where there is potential for great, amazing things
489
00:25:33.130 --> 00:25:35.509
that we can do with AI. There's also potential for
490
00:25:35.670 --> 00:25:37.970
utter destruction in the end of humanity. Like you said,
491
00:25:37.990 --> 00:25:40.670
there's that 10% chance that AI could destroy us all.
492
00:25:41.019 --> 00:25:43.480
I think that's very valid. I think it's very legit.
493
00:25:44.250 --> 00:25:48.150
We are also in a race with artificial, with China
494
00:25:48.289 --> 00:25:49.250
over the AI race.
495
00:25:49.789 --> 00:25:51.210
That is a very real scenario.
496
00:25:51.529 --> 00:25:53.650
And then there's also a very real scenario that we're
497
00:25:53.670 --> 00:25:57.230
dealing with AI companies going crazy when it comes to
498
00:25:57.269 --> 00:26:00.930
surveillance state, when it comes to all sorts of applications
499
00:26:00.970 --> 00:26:04.039
that I think are wildly unconstitutional and violate our civil
500
00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:06.299
rights and liberties. And so I'm just sitting here in
501
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:08.720
the middle and I'm like, I disagree and agree with
502
00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:11.420
everybody on all sides simultaneously, which is a very weird
503
00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:11.920
place to be in.
504
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:17.420
Jeff, because I see the opportunity in AI. I mean,
505
00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:21.680
with efficiencies and really it's a tool like any other
506
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.299
tool You know, it's like being afraid of the lawnmower.
507
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.740
And you're like, well, my, you know, my mules that
508
00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:29.900
pull the whatever you used to mow the lawn with
509
00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:32.569
on fields back in the day before technology happened. Maybe
510
00:26:32.589 --> 00:26:34.569
I'm struggling with an analogy. I need AI to help me.
511
00:26:34.890 --> 00:26:38.329
But at the end of the day, technology has always
512
00:26:38.410 --> 00:26:41.529
helped us. But AI, I think, freaks people out a
513
00:26:41.549 --> 00:26:43.970
little bit because a lot of the concern is over
514
00:26:44.009 --> 00:26:46.250
the fact that, OK, but once we set this thing loose,
515
00:26:46.289 --> 00:26:48.890
like it's like putting out a virus. We won't be
516
00:26:48.910 --> 00:26:50.390
able to control it anymore. And a lot of the
517
00:26:50.430 --> 00:26:53.589
conversation has been built around, you know, it's breaking its
518
00:26:53.630 --> 00:26:57.650
containment and starting its own viruses and hacking into places
519
00:26:57.710 --> 00:27:00.950
and all of these things. But the reality is this.
520
00:27:01.170 --> 00:27:03.089
We can regulate it in the United States. And this
521
00:27:03.130 --> 00:27:04.529
is what the tug of war has been about. We
522
00:27:04.549 --> 00:27:07.880
can regulate this in the United States. We can put
523
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:09.799
the brakes on in the United States if we can
524
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.900
at a federal level. And there's some argument with whether
525
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.599
or not we can. Certain states can regulate it. But
526
00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:19.049
China is moving full speed ahead at developing AI. Data
527
00:27:19.069 --> 00:27:21.329
centers tied directly into this because you need these massive
528
00:27:21.369 --> 00:27:24.710
data centers to process all the information that AI needs
529
00:27:24.769 --> 00:27:27.410
to do its thing too. And China isn't stopping its
530
00:27:27.450 --> 00:27:29.589
building of the data centers either. So where you have
531
00:27:29.690 --> 00:27:35.029
China harnessing full throttle data centers and AI, And you
532
00:27:35.049 --> 00:27:37.049
have the United States saying, well, I don't quite trust this.
533
00:27:37.109 --> 00:27:39.990
It can end humanity. Well, should we let the only
534
00:27:40.089 --> 00:27:42.710
country with the power to end humanity be a country
535
00:27:42.750 --> 00:27:47.240
that's our biggest adversary? So I understand Trump's position like, hey, guys,
536
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.039
we're going to regulate ourselves into extinction with this. What
537
00:27:50.059 --> 00:27:51.079
do you make of all this, Jeff?
538
00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:55.940
So, again, it's a very nuanced conversation, which is difficult
539
00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:58.140
to condense. But the reality of it is, is that
540
00:27:58.180 --> 00:28:01.069
it is a very real scenario that whoever wins the
541
00:28:01.150 --> 00:28:04.099
AI race wins. Basically has the chance to dominate the world,
542
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:06.180
has the chance to rule the world. And Elon Musk
543
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.009
a few years ago said that there's going to be
544
00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:10.990
two potential scenarios, neither of which I really like, but
545
00:28:11.029 --> 00:28:12.829
two potential end games. And he said this to Benjamin
546
00:28:12.849 --> 00:28:14.990
Netanyahu a few years ago. One is you're going to
547
00:28:15.009 --> 00:28:17.970
have Terminator. I would argue that the Terminator scenario is
548
00:28:17.990 --> 00:28:19.970
if China wins, wins the AI race. So that's a
549
00:28:20.049 --> 00:28:22.039
very real scenario that we have to deal with. Because
550
00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:24.420
they're already dealing with robotics. They're dealing with AI. They're
551
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.599
dealing with the weaponization of it. It's going to be
552
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.559
kind of like Iron Man 2 with those humanoid robots
553
00:28:29.579 --> 00:28:30.480
that are run by AI.
554
00:28:30.980 --> 00:28:33.859
Very real scenario. We could see Terminator if China wins.
555
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.160
That's for real.
556
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:39.069
On the other side, you've got Elon Musk describing heaven
557
00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:41.910
on earth in the best case scenario. I would argue
558
00:28:41.950 --> 00:28:43.930
that in all reality, the heaven on earth scenario would
559
00:28:43.950 --> 00:28:47.109
be if the United States wins the race, that's more
560
00:28:47.130 --> 00:28:48.529
what we'd experience.
561
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:50.980
But then he goes on to describe what heaven on
562
00:28:51.029 --> 00:28:51.369
earth is.
563
00:28:51.829 --> 00:28:54.470
And what he describes is what he later has called
564
00:28:54.490 --> 00:28:58.849
a communist utopia where humans don't work because AI and
565
00:28:58.890 --> 00:29:02.410
robots will do everything. We'll live on either a UBI
566
00:29:02.450 --> 00:29:05.109
or there'll be no more need for money because it's
567
00:29:05.230 --> 00:29:09.789
all AI-driven. So then it just comes down to power
568
00:29:09.829 --> 00:29:13.299
and resources. the centralization of power, really, it just comes
569
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:15.039
from the government. We're all reliant either on the government
570
00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:18.000
or these tech companies. And we just live a hedonistic lifestyle.
571
00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:20.640
We just sit around on our couch. We watch TV
572
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:23.069
inside of our brains and we go about our days.
573
00:29:23.150 --> 00:29:24.950
And I don't want either one.
574
00:29:24.890 --> 00:29:27.609
Of those scenarios because that doesn't represent American values and
575
00:29:27.630 --> 00:29:28.450
neither does Terminator.
576
00:29:28.470 --> 00:29:30.630
And so it's one of those things where there's got
577
00:29:30.650 --> 00:29:31.589
to be.
578
00:29:31.809 --> 00:29:35.750
An America first option here that actually puts American people
579
00:29:35.829 --> 00:29:38.390
first and actually values our constitutional rights. And I think
580
00:29:38.410 --> 00:29:40.539
that that's where a lot of the fight over the
581
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:43.559
AI data centers, in my opinion, is a distraction. We
582
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.920
need AI data centers in order to combat China. That
583
00:29:46.980 --> 00:29:50.390
is 100% true. But also I think the conversation we
584
00:29:50.430 --> 00:29:53.710
should be having is what is the application of artificial
585
00:29:53.750 --> 00:29:56.990
intelligence into American life? What do we want to see
586
00:29:57.900 --> 00:30:01.650
You know, this new world with AI look like in
587
00:30:01.710 --> 00:30:04.349
America where we're not just giving over all power and
588
00:30:04.369 --> 00:30:05.569
control to AI and robots.
589
00:30:05.609 --> 00:30:07.630
We no longer have purpose as human beings. We no
590
00:30:07.670 --> 00:30:09.329
longer work. We no longer own anything.
591
00:30:09.849 --> 00:30:12.240
And I think that's the conversation we should be having,
592
00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:15.359
not fighting over whether we should be fast tracking or
593
00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:17.539
slowing down AI. To me, I think it's more about
594
00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:20.779
how are we applying AI within the American way of life?
595
00:30:22.750 --> 00:30:24.609
I don't know if there's an answer yet that we
596
00:30:24.630 --> 00:30:27.910
have figured out. All I know is it's creating definitely
597
00:30:27.930 --> 00:30:31.269
more ammunition for people to use against one side or
598
00:30:31.309 --> 00:30:33.819
the other, pointing blames. I mean, you've seen the debates
599
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:35.960
playing out right now on social media. I'm sure you're
600
00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:39.039
seeing it on your platform, pro and against President Trump's position,
601
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:41.960
other people's positions. It's a mess. We've got to figure
602
00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:43.839
it out. And I think the only solution to this
603
00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:45.990
is at least for us to put aside what are
604
00:30:46.089 --> 00:30:49.569
perceived to be partisan values here and kind of look
605
00:30:49.609 --> 00:30:52.759
at the, like you said, the America first outcome of this.
606
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.779
We have to figure this out because it is the
607
00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:57.880
future one way or the other. And either we're subject
608
00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:59.859
to it or we're in control of it. And I
609
00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:01.359
think that's the conversation that we're going to have to
610
00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:03.319
keep having. Jeff Dornick, thank you so much for being
611
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:04.420
here as always. Great conversation.
612
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:05.140
Thank you. Appreciate it.
613
00:31:08.470 --> 00:31:13.609
Tomorrow afternoon, the Federal Reserve decides whether to raise the
614
00:31:13.670 --> 00:31:17.140
cost of your mortgage, your car, and your credit card
615
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.640
payments seven weeks before an election. We have Grant Cardone
616
00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:25.589
on the Cardone Zone telling you why there might actually
617
00:31:25.630 --> 00:31:28.529
be an opportunity if rates go up. You're not going
618
00:31:28.549 --> 00:31:29.789
to want to miss this. Stay tuned.
619
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.740

629
00:32:13.730 --> 00:32:17.460
You're going to hear a lot about the Federal Reserve
630
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.880
over the next few days because tomorrow afternoon at around
631
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.430
2 o'clock, they're going to make a decision that could
632
00:32:25.490 --> 00:32:29.309
hit your wallet harder than just about anything Congress can do.
633
00:32:30.299 --> 00:32:33.319
And right now, a lot of experts are saying that
634
00:32:33.380 --> 00:32:38.900
the Fed will most likely hike rates. That's right. We're
635
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.720
not talking about cutting rates, as Trump has been asking for.
636
00:32:42.180 --> 00:32:46.880
We're talking about a potential rate hike. It's expected due
637
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.829
to inflation related to energy from the war with Iran.
638
00:32:50.509 --> 00:32:53.930
But the rate hike, it just doesn't impact energy. It
639
00:32:53.970 --> 00:32:56.750
would raise the cost of mortgages, your car loan, your
640
00:32:56.869 --> 00:33:00.309
credit card, and the interest on our national debt. And
641
00:33:00.349 --> 00:33:04.980
let's be honest, this comes at the absolute worst possible
642
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.660
moment with seven weeks before an election, with families already
643
00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:12.579
stretched thin, with everybody already talking about the economy. Of course,
644
00:33:12.619 --> 00:33:15.599
President Trump is in an all-out fight to stop the
645
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:19.289
rate hike. The president, the vice president, the treasury secretary,
646
00:33:19.309 --> 00:33:22.890
they've all been hammering the same message. The Fed's new chairman,
647
00:33:23.190 --> 00:33:28.210
do not, please do not raise rates. Cut them. Trump
648
00:33:28.250 --> 00:33:31.369
has said rates should be a full three points lower
649
00:33:31.390 --> 00:33:35.599
to ease the crushing cost of the national debt and
650
00:33:35.670 --> 00:33:38.740
let this economy just run. And he's got the ammunition
651
00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:41.680
because last month's job reports, it came in at nearly
652
00:33:41.789 --> 00:33:45.269
triple what experts predicted. The economy is strong. There seems
653
00:33:45.309 --> 00:33:48.950
to be no reason for a hike, except maybe for politics.
654
00:33:49.589 --> 00:33:51.849
And my next guest is also sounding the alarm about
655
00:33:51.890 --> 00:33:54.950
what happens if the Fed gets this wrong. He posted
656
00:33:54.990 --> 00:33:58.960
this morning this, saying, if rates don't come down, there
657
00:33:59.019 --> 00:34:03.220
will be problems of biblical proportions across banking as $ 1
658
00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:06.680
trillion in debt maturing this year and majority is held
659
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:10.239
with banks. It's a buyer's market with loans maturing, rents flat,
660
00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:13.449
interest rates climbing. It takes courage, but he also says
661
00:34:13.489 --> 00:34:16.389
this is where the big money is made. Always an optimist.
662
00:34:16.929 --> 00:34:19.769
A trillion dollars in debt coming due, most of it
663
00:34:19.829 --> 00:34:22.929
sitting on the books of the banks. And at the
664
00:34:22.989 --> 00:34:25.309
exact moment, the Fed is thinking about making that debt
665
00:34:25.329 --> 00:34:28.889
more expensive. He calls it a risk of biblical proportions.
666
00:34:28.909 --> 00:34:31.719
He also calls it an opportunity of a lifetime. For
667
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:34.139
anyone with the courage to move, he's a man who
668
00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:38.070
built an empire doing exactly this and taking advantage of opportunities.
669
00:34:38.449 --> 00:34:40.530
Let's get his take. I'm honored to welcome Mr. Grant
670
00:34:40.550 --> 00:34:42.789
Cardone back to Dave Pollack Prime Time. We're calling this
671
00:34:42.989 --> 00:34:47.460
the Cardone Zone, my favorite weekly economic segment. So, Grant,
672
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.679
explain this. Rates go up. A lot of people are
673
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.039
freaking out about it. You say there's opportunity, but let's
674
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:56.260
first start about the biblical proportions of the consequences of
675
00:34:56.280 --> 00:34:56.679
a rate hike.
676
00:34:57.690 --> 00:35:00.550
Well, look, you have loans maturing, right, in this cycle.
677
00:35:00.590 --> 00:35:05.340
So there's about a trillion dollars worth of loans across apartments, hotels, hospitality.
678
00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:08.099
Some of that's held with Fannie and Freddie Mac. Most
679
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.219
of it, though, is held by regional banks or even
680
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.699
big banks, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, et cetera. So that's
681
00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:19.539
where most of America keeps their savings, their checking. and
682
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:23.039
maybe their money market accounts, okay? That money is lent
683
00:35:23.219 --> 00:35:26.599
out when you drop money at your checking account, savings account,
684
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.699
or money market. That money is then lent to people
685
00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:32.610
like me that borrow money on three-year, five-year, seven-year, 10-year.
686
00:35:33.070 --> 00:35:34.730
A lot of this money was borrowed three and five
687
00:35:34.750 --> 00:35:38.969
years ago back in 2020, 2022, and it's due this year.
688
00:35:39.030 --> 00:35:42.090
It's a trillion this year. It's almost 900 billion next year.
689
00:35:42.429 --> 00:35:46.469
It's due. Guess what? When your lease payment's due on
690
00:35:46.489 --> 00:35:48.050
your car, you got to turn the car in.
691
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:52.059
When your mortgage payment is due on the loan, you
692
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.719
have to either refinance the loan or you have to
693
00:35:54.780 --> 00:35:58.760
sell the property. We have the highest supply of assets,
694
00:35:59.710 --> 00:36:03.409
properties for sale today than we've had since 2008, maybe
695
00:36:03.449 --> 00:36:03.750
since 2000.
696
00:36:03.750 --> 00:36:06.710
This is the biggest.
697
00:36:07.329 --> 00:36:09.809
Single real estate opportunity in my 68 years being on
698
00:36:09.849 --> 00:36:15.449
this planet, looking at real estate. But it's terrifying because.
699
00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:20.760
This trillion dollars cannot be paid back. The trillion dollars
700
00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:24.179
in debt, David, is probably only worth $ 600 billion.
701
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:28.239
So somebody has to come up with $ 400.
702
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:31.079
Billion in losses or to show losses on their books,
703
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.780
and the banks don't want to do that. So last
704
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.199
thing I'll say about that is this. I don't think
705
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:42.849
the Fed raises tomorrow just for these very reasons. The
706
00:36:43.010 --> 00:36:48.150
only solution here is lower interest rates. And it's like
707
00:36:48.329 --> 00:36:51.050
Trump's being played right now by someone, but I believe
708
00:36:51.090 --> 00:36:53.349
he'll figure out how to pull this off and get
709
00:36:53.409 --> 00:36:54.010
rates lower.
710
00:36:55.219 --> 00:36:57.639
So that, I mean, I hope, I hope they don't
711
00:36:57.679 --> 00:36:59.840
raise rates. At the last Fed meeting, there was some
712
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:03.449
votes for raising and obviously Warsh— was in favor of
713
00:37:03.489 --> 00:37:05.570
keeping them the same, not lowering them as the president.
714
00:37:05.590 --> 00:37:07.349
Most all the banks think that they're going to reach through, yeah.
715
00:37:07.670 --> 00:37:10.190
Yeah, and Trump has said, look, he supports Warsh. He
716
00:37:10.210 --> 00:37:12.869
has confidence in him. So we'll see what they do.
717
00:37:12.909 --> 00:37:14.090
But let me break this down a little bit because
718
00:37:14.130 --> 00:37:17.469
it's really interesting. You say opportunity. The last big opportunity
719
00:37:17.510 --> 00:37:21.820
came at a tremendous financial meltdown when they were basically
720
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:24.340
selling everything at a fire sale. And yeah, there were
721
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:26.900
some real estate opportunities. Nobody had any cash, but there
722
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.679
was real estate opportunities. Are you suggesting that If they
723
00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:32.119
raise rates, we might have a massive market sell-off when
724
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:34.800
these notes come due?
725
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.400
We already have a market sell-off right now. It's just
726
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:41.780
being quietly done with guys like me and institutions. And
727
00:37:41.900 --> 00:37:46.530
where middle America, you know, the people out there trying
728
00:37:46.550 --> 00:37:48.619
to buy a home or trade their home, you're looking
729
00:37:48.659 --> 00:37:50.730
too small in the food chain. You need to be
730
00:37:50.769 --> 00:37:52.630
looking for the big fish right now. You like my
731
00:37:52.690 --> 00:37:56.269
fishing analogies, right? So, you know, when the fish aren't biting,
732
00:37:56.329 --> 00:37:57.289
move the boat, man.
733
00:37:57.329 --> 00:37:57.989
That's what I say.
734
00:37:59.019 --> 00:38:02.300
And then if you're not catching what you want, you
735
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:05.190
gotta move to where.
736
00:38:04.130 --> 00:38:07.070
The pain is. You gotta follow the money, okay?
737
00:38:07.130 --> 00:38:10.329
And unfortunately, most Americans are trying to buy a house
738
00:38:10.369 --> 00:38:12.210
when they should be trying to buy the block.
739
00:38:13.030 --> 00:38:14.230
This is an opportunity.
740
00:38:14.250 --> 00:38:18.690
In 2010, Blackstone went and bought 10,000 condos in Miami.
741
00:38:24.909 --> 00:38:27.030
I saw this in the news on the internet. I
742
00:38:27.050 --> 00:38:29.269
was in Los Angeles. I lived in Los Angeles at
743
00:38:29.289 --> 00:38:32.829
the time. This is what entrepreneurs do when they see opportunity.
744
00:38:33.590 --> 00:38:36.260
I sold my house the following week, took all the
745
00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:39.300
money and went and bought Miami because I was following
746
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:39.639
the money.
747
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.380
Okay.
748
00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.760
And this is what people should be doing right now.
749
00:38:43.900 --> 00:38:46.780
Big institutions are having to sell these big 150, 200 unit,
750
00:38:46.780 --> 00:38:53.159
300 unit complexes and Smart people right now should learn
751
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:56.340
about apartment investing, how to buy cashflow, how to get
752
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:58.280
loans on it, how to raise money for it.
753
00:38:58.780 --> 00:39:01.420
And you will make, you'll make more money in.
754
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:04.019
The next 10 years than you've made, than your family's
755
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:06.139
made in the last 400.
756
00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:08.320
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, and this is why
757
00:39:08.340 --> 00:39:10.519
I love these segments, because when we have a billionaire
758
00:39:10.619 --> 00:39:12.940
on to tell people how to think like a billionaire
759
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:15.760
and not think, you know, in the circumstances they're in,
760
00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:18.590
when homebuyers or people with cash, you know, who are thinking,
761
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:21.010
I really wanted to buy a single-family home, and they're like,
762
00:39:21.030 --> 00:39:22.869
look at these rates. This is really bad for me.
763
00:39:23.269 --> 00:39:25.710
You're sitting here saying, stop thinking like you're buying a
764
00:39:25.730 --> 00:39:28.889
single family home. Think like an entrepreneur and look for
765
00:39:28.909 --> 00:39:32.820
the opportunities for buying things outside of the single family home.
766
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.179
Maybe rent a little longer and take that money you've
767
00:39:35.199 --> 00:39:37.579
been saving and look at buying at least an equity
768
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:39.900
share in an apartment building with a group of folks.
769
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:41.860
That's what you're telling people to do right now. Stop
770
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:46.199
being reactionary, reacting to the market, instead getting ahead of
771
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:48.019
the market and find ways to make money regardless of
772
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:48.780
where interest rates are.
773
00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:51.280
Yeah, now your audience is going to say, well, you know,
774
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.280
who can do that? I don't have enough money. OK, but,
775
00:39:53.909 --> 00:39:56.409
you know. You want to buy a car, you want
776
00:39:56.429 --> 00:39:58.530
to buy the car dealership. If you buy the car dealership,
777
00:39:58.570 --> 00:39:59.989
if you'd actually get an education how.
778
00:39:59.909 --> 00:40:01.429
To buy the car dealership, you never have to buy
779
00:40:01.449 --> 00:40:04.130
another car in your life. What I'm suggesting to people,
780
00:40:04.389 --> 00:40:07.289
I started with no money. OK, literally three thousand bucks,
781
00:40:07.489 --> 00:40:11.630
but but a tremendous amount of desire to be successful
782
00:40:11.670 --> 00:40:14.849
and have have my financial life fixed. And I studied
783
00:40:14.889 --> 00:40:17.730
real estate for three years. And right now, this cycle,
784
00:40:17.849 --> 00:40:22.260
it was late 1990s, there was a cycle. 2008 was
785
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.639
the next cycle. That was 18 years. Here we are
786
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:29.019
18 years later. It's game time, man. You don't need
787
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.269
to wait till Sunday or Thursday night football. This is
788
00:40:32.349 --> 00:40:36.030
game time for middle-class America to make more wealth in
789
00:40:36.050 --> 00:40:38.769
the next decade than your family has made in the
790
00:40:38.809 --> 00:40:39.389
last 400 years.
791
00:40:40.889 --> 00:40:43.130
And it's all about investing in the right thing and
792
00:40:43.150 --> 00:40:46.670
what you're saying, to be clear. Now, if somebody says, OK, Grant,
793
00:40:46.710 --> 00:40:49.550
that sounds great. How do I go buy a fraction interest?
794
00:40:49.590 --> 00:40:52.039
I can't afford a whole apartment building. How can I
795
00:40:52.099 --> 00:40:55.000
buy a fractionary interest in an apartment building where I
796
00:40:55.019 --> 00:40:56.420
can make that wealth that you're talking about?
797
00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:58.900
You can't do it if the first thing you do
798
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.659
is throw in the towel and say, I can't do that.
799
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:03.360
So like I can't even talk to somebody that immediately
800
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:06.760
throws the towel in. OK, this is the easiest debt
801
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:10.320
you will ever get is the kind of loans I'm
802
00:41:10.340 --> 00:41:12.860
talking This is easier to get a loan on a
803
00:41:12.860 --> 00:41:15.289
200 unit apartment complex than it is.
804
00:41:15.190 --> 00:41:18.130
A $ 400, 000 house.
805
00:41:19.150 --> 00:41:22.150
Unfortunately, nobody knows about it because all this information has
806
00:41:22.190 --> 00:41:26.559
been kept private to the big institutions. And I'm showing
807
00:41:26.579 --> 00:41:29.099
people how I did this. I've done this without big banks, David.
808
00:41:29.139 --> 00:41:32.380
I've done it by learning how they do it. I
809
00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:36.210
mimicked what they were doing. I put the strategy they
810
00:41:36.250 --> 00:41:39.230
were using in place. I raised money from friends, family,
811
00:41:39.289 --> 00:41:42.489
and on social media, which is actually legal today. I've
812
00:41:42.510 --> 00:41:47.530
raised $ 2 billion from friends, family, customers, and employees. And
813
00:41:47.630 --> 00:41:50.570
I go out and buy large institutional quality real estate
814
00:41:50.610 --> 00:41:53.590
that institutions have to sell, by the way. They have
815
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:57.360
to sell their assets. because they have to report their profits.
816
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:04.320
And they're in trouble right now. It's like in 2008,
817
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:10.119
the stripper went and bought four houses. In 2020, the
818
00:42:10.179 --> 00:42:15.369
institution went and bought 20,000 units. And they both basically
819
00:42:15.429 --> 00:42:19.070
did the same thing, okay? They over leveraged and took
820
00:42:19.130 --> 00:42:22.320
on too much debt. And that's why I said this
821
00:42:22.389 --> 00:42:25.000
is biblical proportions.
822
00:42:26.429 --> 00:42:26.849
I love it.
823
00:42:27.230 --> 00:42:29.360
It's bigger than 2008.
824
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:32.179
I love it. And I love that advice. I'm sure
825
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.079
people are going to have lots of questions. And I'm
826
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:36.090
sure these strategies are, I know this isn't like a,
827
00:42:36.300 --> 00:42:37.880
this isn't a sales pitch. You come on to give
828
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.420
great advice to the audience. This isn't a sponsored segment.
829
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:43.199
I'm legitimately asking this question. If people want to learn
830
00:42:43.219 --> 00:42:46.269
these strategies, I'm assuming you've packaged this up, right? So
831
00:42:46.309 --> 00:42:47.150
they can go and find it.
832
00:42:48.289 --> 00:42:50.849
Yeah, I'm not trying to sell anybody anything. I'm telling you,
833
00:42:50.889 --> 00:42:53.170
I will try to sell the American public this. If
834
00:42:53.210 --> 00:42:59.360
you keep just simply waiting for 40 acres.
835
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.110
And a mule, okay? Which is basically what a single
836
00:43:02.130 --> 00:43:05.940
family home is. That's all you're ever gonna get.
837
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:07.679
Lever up.
838
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.429
Nobody ever got rich buying a single-family home ever in
839
00:43:10.449 --> 00:43:12.829
the history of the world. Warren Buffett owned one house.
840
00:43:12.929 --> 00:43:16.329
Steve Jobs owned one house. Elon Musk doesn't own a home.
841
00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:18.449
The richest people in the world don't want homes. They
842
00:43:18.469 --> 00:43:22.159
want investments that cash flow, that depreciate, and that live
843
00:43:22.179 --> 00:43:23.659
for long, long periods of time.
844
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:26.960
And right now, Americans have this one moment in time.
845
00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:29.420
This window is going to open and close literally in
846
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:30.199
the next three years.
847
00:43:31.289 --> 00:43:32.010
It'll be shut.
848
00:43:32.690 --> 00:43:36.170
And either Americans are going to buy this, David Pollack
849
00:43:36.190 --> 00:43:37.989
and your people are going to buy it, Grant Cardone
850
00:43:38.010 --> 00:43:39.550
and his family is going to buy it, or the
851
00:43:39.650 --> 00:43:42.610
institutions are just going to keep loading up and owning
852
00:43:42.769 --> 00:43:43.489
all of America.
853
00:43:43.650 --> 00:43:46.650
Because they just recycle these assets amongst one another.
854
00:43:47.210 --> 00:43:49.150
And I have figured out a way to crack the
855
00:43:49.190 --> 00:43:53.199
code and buy from the Blackstones and the Starwoods, the Camdens,
856
00:43:53.219 --> 00:43:56.480
the Avalons, the MetLife, the New York. These are trillion-dollar
857
00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:59.480
companies that I'm doing deals with, and I'm proof that
858
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:00.480
anyone can do this.
859
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:03.869
I love it. It's hope. It's hope. And why I
860
00:44:03.909 --> 00:44:06.610
love these segments so much, Grant, is because if you
861
00:44:06.630 --> 00:44:07.690
turn on the news, all you're going to hear is
862
00:44:07.730 --> 00:44:09.360
doom and gloom. Interest rates go up. I mean, I
863
00:44:09.420 --> 00:44:11.679
even said it in my monologue. My assumption was rates
864
00:44:11.699 --> 00:44:13.400
are going to go up. It's going to crush everybody.
865
00:44:13.460 --> 00:44:14.639
I almost killed myself in your monologue.
866
00:44:15.059 --> 00:44:15.380
What's that?
867
00:44:16.260 --> 00:44:17.929
I almost killed myself.
868
00:44:18.570 --> 00:44:21.230
So that's the thing. It's about changing the mentality. And
869
00:44:21.289 --> 00:44:23.750
I went into this segment thinking interest rates are going
870
00:44:23.769 --> 00:44:25.989
to go up. This is terrible for America. And then
871
00:44:26.010 --> 00:44:28.090
you come on and say, guys, you're not looking at
872
00:44:28.130 --> 00:44:30.409
it this right way. Flip the table over and find
873
00:44:30.429 --> 00:44:33.789
the opportunities underneath it. Grant Cardone, I love the Cardone
874
00:44:33.809 --> 00:44:36.030
zones on Tuesdays. I can't wait to talk to you
875
00:44:36.429 --> 00:44:38.809
next Tuesday. And we'll talk more about the opportunities for
876
00:44:38.849 --> 00:44:40.630
all America. Thank you so much for being here.
877
00:44:41.769 --> 00:44:42.110
Thanks, David.
878
00:44:43.070 --> 00:44:48.010
Still ahead, the rapper Macklemore. He appears to hate everything
879
00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:52.699
about America, except it's free speech protections. More on him
880
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:55.659
getting kicked off a tour for the things that came
881
00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:57.519
out of his mouth. That's coming up next.
882

you can't get anywhere else.
892
00:45:41.159 --> 00:45:46.480
The rapper, Macklemore, you remember him? The thrift shop guy?
893
00:45:46.500 --> 00:45:49.400
I'm not going to sing it for you if you don't. Well,
894
00:45:49.449 --> 00:45:53.659
he just got kicked off of Ed Sheeran's stadium tour.
895
00:45:54.340 --> 00:45:55.139
Gone.
896
00:45:56.210 --> 00:45:58.949
And right now, of course, he's going to every platform
897
00:45:58.989 --> 00:46:02.849
he can find to cry about it. Casted as the victim,
898
00:46:02.889 --> 00:46:07.170
poor Macklemore. Wrapping himself in the flag of free speech
899
00:46:07.230 --> 00:46:13.639
and artistic courage. Now, here's the story. Macklemore, he was
900
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.949
the opening act on Ed Sheeran's American tour. And at
901
00:46:16.969 --> 00:46:20.590
the first shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, he
902
00:46:20.650 --> 00:46:23.909
decided to turn his opening set into a political rally,
903
00:46:23.949 --> 00:46:28.889
of course, chanting, free Palestine, over and over, wearing one
904
00:46:28.909 --> 00:46:33.829
of them little scarves and performing a protest anthem while
905
00:46:33.869 --> 00:46:36.829
footage from the war in Gaza played on the giant
906
00:46:36.869 --> 00:46:39.550
screens behind him. Now, it didn't go over well.
907
00:46:39.590 --> 00:46:39.780
Look.
908
00:46:40.250 --> 00:46:41.610
I've been trying to figure out a way to say
909
00:46:41.650 --> 00:46:44.590
this all day. One of the reasons why I wanted
910
00:46:44.630 --> 00:46:47.429
to come on this tour was because I wanted to
911
00:46:47.510 --> 00:46:53.800
stand up here on stages and stadiums across America and
912
00:46:53.860 --> 00:46:57.940
say two words that are very near and dear to
913
00:46:57.980 --> 00:47:01.159
my heart, free Palestine.
914
00:47:03.219 --> 00:47:05.760
That is not why you're there on the tour. You're
915
00:47:05.780 --> 00:47:11.989
supposed to perform, perform. Nobody cares about your politics, Macklemore.
916
00:47:12.010 --> 00:47:17.570
Because politics are the thrift shop. Now, pro-Israel groups launched petitions.
917
00:47:18.090 --> 00:47:21.659
Stadium owners, including Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium, said,
918
00:47:22.380 --> 00:47:25.179
not in my building. And just like that, Macklemore was
919
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:29.489
off the tour. This isn't the first time Macklemore has
920
00:47:29.530 --> 00:47:32.349
been involved in controversy. This is a guy who had
921
00:47:32.429 --> 00:47:36.829
another show just last year, grabbed a microphone and told
922
00:47:36.929 --> 00:47:38.409
a crowd, and I'm going to clean it up for
923
00:47:38.449 --> 00:47:44.619
you for television, two other words, F America. That's right.
924
00:47:45.300 --> 00:47:50.739
Free Palestine, but F America. That's Macklemore. Well, Robert Kraft,
925
00:47:50.980 --> 00:47:53.739
he's not having an explaining. His decision, he pointed to
926
00:47:53.780 --> 00:47:57.440
what he called his broader history of anti-Semitic rhetoric, including
927
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:00.360
a costume years ago, apparently, that a lot of people
928
00:48:00.420 --> 00:48:04.659
found pretty grotesque. Not a country that he says to F.
929
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:09.679
He wants to hide behind his constitutional protections? We'll see
930
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:16.280
what Hamas thinks about your ability to speak freely. But now,
931
00:48:16.500 --> 00:48:19.940
save your sympathy, because there are conservative artists in this
932
00:48:20.019 --> 00:48:23.699
country who have been quietly blacklisted for years, frozen out,
933
00:48:23.739 --> 00:48:27.099
dropped by their labels, uninvited from shows, canceled, not for
934
00:48:27.139 --> 00:48:30.650
saying F America, not for saying free Palestine, but for
935
00:48:30.730 --> 00:48:35.130
loving this country or even backing President Trump. They don't
936
00:48:35.150 --> 00:48:38.610
get sympathetic press tours. They don't get headlines. They don't
937
00:48:38.630 --> 00:48:41.500
go to social media and cry about it. My next
938
00:48:41.579 --> 00:48:43.980
guest is somebody they've tried to cancel, but they can't.
939
00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:48.519
A genuinely talented singer who loves America, and she's paid
940
00:48:48.539 --> 00:48:51.030
a professional price for it. And she knows exactly what
941
00:48:51.050 --> 00:48:53.530
this industry does to people who won't toe its line.
942
00:48:53.769 --> 00:48:56.789
I'm honored to be joined by Billboard charting artist Joy Vila.
943
00:48:56.829 --> 00:49:00.349
Welcome back. Dave Pollack, Prime Time. Hello.
944
00:49:01.500 --> 00:49:03.659
Listen, I know what Ed Sheeran was thinking when he
945
00:49:03.699 --> 00:49:10.070
saw Macklemore. He said, darling, I don't want anti-Semitism on
946
00:49:10.110 --> 00:49:13.090
my tour. That's what he was probably singing because he
947
00:49:13.230 --> 00:49:18.090
must have been absolutely shocked because Ed Sheeran is notoriously
948
00:49:18.289 --> 00:49:19.289
not political, right?
949
00:49:19.309 --> 00:49:19.710
I don't think he.
950
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:20.940
one political thing.
951
00:49:20.980 --> 00:49:21.539
He's a singer.
952
00:49:21.579 --> 00:49:22.440
He's a songwriter.
953
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:23.920
He's loved by many.
954
00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:27.699
He's probably like Michael Jordan. You know, he probably thinks
955
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:31.559
Republicans buy my music too. So why tick anybody off?
956
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:31.960
Right.
957
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:36.280
But Macklemore, Macklemore, who hasn't had a hit song since
958
00:49:36.300 --> 00:49:41.719
2014's Thrift Shop, right? Or was that 2007? Anyways, it's
959
00:49:41.739 --> 00:49:43.500
been so long that we don't even know when that
960
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:47.300
last album came out that was a hit. He's 42.
961
00:49:47.300 --> 00:49:49.199
You think he would have learned lessons by now to
962
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:54.099
respect other cultures. But in 2014, not only was that
963
00:49:54.219 --> 00:49:56.860
look grotesque. I mean, if you pull up the pictures,
964
00:49:56.909 --> 00:49:59.929
if anybody at home looks at those pictures, he denied
965
00:49:59.969 --> 00:50:03.440
that it was an anti-Semitic. but yet it had a
966
00:50:03.559 --> 00:50:07.210
black bowl cut, straight black hair, a big suit, and
967
00:50:07.230 --> 00:50:10.929
a huge fake nose. He roamed around stage performing in
968
00:50:10.929 --> 00:50:15.409
2014 saying, oh, yeah, it was not an anti-Semitic reference.
969
00:50:15.429 --> 00:50:19.449
I mean, he obviously looked like the very grotesque version
970
00:50:19.889 --> 00:50:23.309
of what the Nazis portrayed for Jewish people. And here
971
00:50:23.349 --> 00:50:28.460
he is, one love, gay rights, and now it's Palestine. Okay, Macklemore,
972
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:31.199
I think the truth is you only like certain types
973
00:50:31.260 --> 00:50:31.619
of people.
974
00:50:31.659 --> 00:50:32.780
You don't like America.
975
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:35.909
You don't like Jews. You probably don't even like Black people,
976
00:50:36.230 --> 00:50:38.429
even though you stole their music being a rapper.
977
00:50:38.710 --> 00:50:39.369
Let's be real.
978
00:50:39.389 --> 00:50:42.489
You're just the same as all these Hollywood Democrats, an
979
00:50:42.650 --> 00:50:46.789
inside racist. But when the cameras are rolling, you love everybody.
980
00:50:47.179 --> 00:50:50.019
Yeah, well, and that's, you know, the heart of all
981
00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:51.889
of this, and it's such a good point you make,
982
00:50:52.260 --> 00:50:54.489
the heart of all of this is it's not about Palestine,
983
00:50:54.510 --> 00:50:56.690
it's not about the Jews, it's not about any of
984
00:50:56.730 --> 00:51:00.150
these things, it's not about America. The reality is he's
985
00:51:00.690 --> 00:51:05.699
either completely indoctrinated by it or an intentional spokesman for it.
986
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:11.280
this separatist socialist movement that just wants to reframe America
987
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:13.800
as a place that people should hate. And whatever cause
988
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.320
they can adopt that seemingly hates America, well, that's their friend.
989
00:51:17.380 --> 00:51:19.320
An enemy of my enemy is my friend. And he's
990
00:51:19.340 --> 00:51:20.559
just a mouthpiece for it, right?
991
00:51:21.460 --> 00:51:24.070
And meanwhile, profiting off of America. You know, if you
992
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:27.110
hate America so much, listen, America has its issues. Our
993
00:51:27.130 --> 00:51:29.809
country is not perfect, but it's trying to be a
994
00:51:29.949 --> 00:51:33.840
more perfect nation, right? We have had a tumultuous past
995
00:51:33.860 --> 00:51:35.119
like many other countries.
996
00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:35.659
We're new.
997
00:51:35.699 --> 00:51:39.210
We're 250 years old. We're doing our best to move forward.
998
00:51:39.510 --> 00:51:42.309
And I feel like we've moved a lot forward. And
999
00:51:42.349 --> 00:51:44.210
I love this country. This is the country I was
1000
00:51:44.269 --> 00:51:47.929
born in. My parents come from immigrants. My family is immigrants.
1001
00:51:48.210 --> 00:51:51.150
But half of my family is Black American, brought here
1002
00:51:51.190 --> 00:51:53.650
by no fault of their own, right, if you trace
1003
00:51:53.690 --> 00:51:57.590
down slavery. And even though that my Black family loves America,
1004
00:51:57.789 --> 00:52:01.550
my Italian-Argentinian family loves America, I love America because this
1005
00:52:01.630 --> 00:52:05.010
is my home And you can slightly criticize something, but
1006
00:52:05.050 --> 00:52:08.639
to demean it and say, down with America. Meanwhile, you're
1007
00:52:08.659 --> 00:52:11.650
making all the money from America. Meanwhile, you're born here.
1008
00:52:11.670 --> 00:52:15.969
I mean, first of all, him getting kicked off of
1009
00:52:16.070 --> 00:52:20.719
Ed Sheeran's tour. is the consequences of his actions. Meanwhile,
1010
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.969
somebody like me or somebody like Kaya Jones of the
1011
00:52:23.010 --> 00:52:28.590
Pussycat Dolls or any artists who are publicly outspoken for Jesus,
1012
00:52:28.690 --> 00:52:33.010
for America, for decency, we're not nude, we're not cursing,
1013
00:52:33.050 --> 00:52:36.550
we're not waving gay flags all day, all everywhere. We
1014
00:52:36.590 --> 00:52:40.059
love the president, we love America. We don't get invited
1015
00:52:40.099 --> 00:52:43.219
to these tours. We get kicked out of places. But
1016
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:47.420
here he is, the consequence of his actions, you know, divisive.
1017
00:52:47.659 --> 00:52:49.159
And he's going to complain and say, well, this was
1018
00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:51.469
the best tour. He said, oh, this is the best
1019
00:52:51.510 --> 00:52:54.130
tour I've ever been in because I'm standing up for freedom. Bro,
1020
00:52:54.190 --> 00:52:56.349
take a seat and make an album that people will
1021
00:52:56.409 --> 00:52:57.289
actually listen to.
1022
00:52:57.940 --> 00:53:01.199
That's exactly right. It's the victim mentality and blame everyone
1023
00:53:01.260 --> 00:53:04.300
else but themselves. Joy Vila, I love having you on
1024
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:05.940
the show. Thank you so much for your excellent takes
1025
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:06.340
as always.
1026
00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:07.480
It's a pleasure.
1027
00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:12.639
That is our show for tonight. Join us tomorrow for
1028
00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:16.679
another Weaponization Wednesday. That's our new segment where we highlight
1029
00:53:16.780 --> 00:53:19.550
instances where the government. has turned against its citizens, and
1030
00:53:19.570 --> 00:53:22.730
we asked the question, is it weaponization? Tomorrow, we're going
1031
00:53:22.750 --> 00:53:25.190
to sit down with a doctor, an emergency room physician,
1032
00:53:25.670 --> 00:53:28.369
who says his own government did that. In fact, to him,
1033
00:53:28.650 --> 00:53:30.929
his story is unbelievable, and that's coming up tomorrow. Stay
