Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: With seven weeks until the midterm elections, the fight to
- 0:15Speaker 1: secure how America votes has run into one wall after
- 0:19Speaker 1: the next. And as of last night, every major effort
- 0:23Speaker 1: to change the rules of mail-in voting before November has
- 0:28Speaker 1: come up short. Three fronts. Here's exactly where each one stands.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Front one, the courts. And the biggest case of them all,
- 0:36Speaker 1: you might recall, on June 29th of this year, the
- 0:39Speaker 1: Supreme Court decided Watson versus the RNC a case. The
- 0:42Speaker 1: Republican National Committee had fought for two years arguing that
- 0:45Speaker 1: mail-in ballots must be received by Election Day, not just
- 0:48Speaker 1: postmarked by it. Common sense, right? The RNC lost five
- 0:53Speaker 1: to four. The court ruled states can keep counting ballots
- 0:56Speaker 1: that arrive after Election Day as long as they're postmarked
- 0:59Speaker 1: on time. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority,
- 1:03Speaker 1: joined by Chief Justice Roberts and the three liberal justices.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Of course.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Thomas Alito and Gorsuch dissented. Those were the heroes in
- 1:12Speaker 1: this case. And so the roughly 15 states with grace
- 1:16Speaker 1: periods that let them keep counting until whenever the result
- 1:20Speaker 1: comes in, well, that stands. Now, here's front two. The
- 1:24Speaker 1: president's executive order. Trump had ordered the Postal Service to
- 1:27Speaker 1: overhaul mail ballots, barcodes on every envelope, verify voter list
- 1:31Speaker 1: ballots going only to confirmed eligible voters. On August 24th,
- 1:36Speaker 1: the court gave him a preliminary win. Things were looking up. No, no, no.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Last night, it reversed course for this cycle, leaving a
- 1:44Speaker 1: lower court block in place, 6-3, with only Thomas and
- 1:48Speaker 1: Alito dissenting. Now, the reason given was timing. They said
- 1:54Speaker 1: there wasn't enough time for states to comply before November,
- 1:58Speaker 1: and the president's reaction, well, he's pretty ticked off, let's
- 2:02Speaker 1: just say that. In a statement on Truth Social, he
- 2:05Speaker 1: blasted the court directly, saying... Republicans just got another bad
- 2:11Speaker 1: decision from the United States Supreme Court. He blamed it
- 2:13Speaker 1: in part on no time left to implement a solution
- 2:17Speaker 1: to our totally corrupt and out-of-control mail-in voting disaster. Justices
- 2:22Speaker 1: Alito and Thomas, legends, both strongly disagreed with this horrible,
- 2:26Speaker 1: highly political ruling. It is as big of a loss
- 2:29Speaker 1: for Republicans and America itself, and it makes cheating by
- 2:32Speaker 1: the radical left, Democrats, on mail-in ballots a much easier
- 2:37Speaker 1: thing to do. These are not the people I interviewed
- 2:40Speaker 1: to serve on the United States Supreme Court. The boss
- 2:45Speaker 1: is not happy. That brings us to the third front,
- 2:49Speaker 1: the one that could still fix all of this, but
- 2:51Speaker 1: it ain't gonna, the Save America Act. You know, the
- 2:55Speaker 1: one that would have required proof of citizenship to register
- 2:57Speaker 1: and photo ID to vote and also some mail-in ballot reform.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It's passed the House like five times. Sits there in
- 3:03Speaker 1: the Senate, dead, gathering dust, leaving that analogy alone every
- 3:09Speaker 1: time it goes to the Senate, short of the 60
- 3:11Speaker 1: votes to break a filibuster. And there is no sign.
- 3:15Speaker 1: That is going to change anytime soon. So here's where
- 3:17Speaker 1: things stand tonight. The RNCs, that case is lost. The
- 3:22Speaker 1: executive order, blocked for this cycle at least. The Save
- 3:26Speaker 1: America Act, stalled hopelessly. Which means November's midterms, the elections
- 3:33Speaker 1: that decide control of Congress, will run under essentially the
- 3:39Speaker 1: same mail-in rules as before. Not one of the changes changed.
- 3:44Speaker 1: made it across the finish line. That's not good. Now,
- 3:48Speaker 1: to break down where this actually leaves us seven weeks out,
- 3:52Speaker 1: let's bring in Josh Hammer, senior counsel with the Article
- 3:56Speaker 1: 3 Project. Josh, welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
- 4:00Speaker 1: It just seems no matter where you turn, roadblock, roadblock, roadblock, hopelessness, hopelessness,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and the president's right to be mad. We have to
- 4:08Speaker 1: secure the mail-in vote. It's really the highest risk we
- 4:11Speaker 1: have and the biggest opportunity we have for fraudsters, right?
- 4:16Speaker 3: You know, David, in the first few months of this
- 4:18Speaker 3: second Trump administration, I and my colleagues at the Oracle
- 4:21Speaker 3: 3 Project, we were talking about the judicial insurrection was
- 4:24Speaker 3: a term that we used a lot of a little
- 4:26Speaker 3: over a year ago. And I now have to openly speculate,
- 4:30Speaker 3: you know, now here we are. Donald Trump's second term
- 4:34Speaker 3: is hard to believe. It's almost halfway through, not quite,
- 4:37Speaker 3: but we're getting close to it. I have to ask
- 4:39Speaker 3: whether or not the judicial insurrection has ever been quashed,
- 4:43Speaker 3: whether it has ever been taken care of, whether it
- 4:44Speaker 3: is still acting up right before our very own eyes.
- 4:48Speaker 3: And to make matters worse, as you correctly note, when
- 4:50Speaker 3: it came to the Watson versus RNC case, the mail-in
- 4:53Speaker 3: ballot case at the Supreme Court, a tremendous disappointment, a massive,
- 4:56Speaker 3: massive letdown earlier this year. Sometimes the judicial insurrection seems
- 5:00Speaker 3: to be happening not just in the lower courts, but
- 5:02Speaker 3: actually also at the U.S.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Supreme Court.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Frankly, from some of Donald Trump's own nominees, like Amy
- 5:06Speaker 3: Coney Barrett, who continues to to have a, shall we say,
- 5:09Speaker 3: checkered or spotty track record. Sam Lito or Clarence Thomas,
- 5:15Speaker 3: she is not. Now, listen, David, if I'm being honest here,
- 5:19Speaker 3: I have heard from some conservatives in the states, some
- 5:22Speaker 3: Republican officials and various state attorneys general offices, saying that
- 5:26Speaker 3: they also were skeptical that their own state, these are
- 5:29Speaker 3: red states, had enough time to prepare for the U.S.
- 5:32Speaker 3: Postal Service regulation. Here's my response to that. That may
- 5:36Speaker 3: or may not be true. It'll depend on the state.
- 5:38Speaker 3: But here's the thing. The thing is that the Article
- 5:41Speaker 3: 2 executive branch, the president and all of the cabinets,
- 5:44Speaker 3: the agencies, they can make rules when something is within
- 5:47Speaker 3: their legitimate jurisdiction. And last I checked, Article 1 of
- 5:50Speaker 3: the Constitution made very clear The federal government has the
- 5:54Speaker 3: ability to control the procedures and times and all the
- 5:59Speaker 3: various other nonsense and proceduralities when it comes to federal elections.
- 6:03Speaker 3: So this USPS rule, to me, fell squarely within that,
- 6:08Speaker 3: which is why you had people like Clarence Thompson, Sam Molino,
- 6:10Speaker 3: yet again, crying foul. But it's where we're at, and
- 6:13Speaker 3: it's where we're at. And as you correctly note, there
- 6:16Speaker 3: is a panacea out there. It's called the Safe America Act.
- 6:19Speaker 3: I saw Mike Johnson, the speaker, just talking about it
- 6:21Speaker 3: yet again. Over the weekend, I'm not entirely sure that
- 6:24Speaker 3: John Thune's calculus on that question has changed, but if
- 6:26Speaker 3: there's going to be a hero, a knight in shining armor,
- 6:30Speaker 3: so to speak, David, I suspect that it would be
- 6:32Speaker 3: that to save America at this late juncture.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's what we're all hoping for, but
- 6:36Speaker 1: it's hopeless to hope for it, honestly, because nobody's going
- 6:39Speaker 1: to expect anything to change this close. I mean, we've
- 6:42Speaker 1: been fighting this thing for months, and I hate that
- 6:45Speaker 1: that's the reality. I hate that I'm sitting here saying, yeah,
- 6:48Speaker 1: I guess we just have to just deal with it.
- 6:51Speaker 1: It stinks. But I want to go back to what
- 6:53Speaker 1: you talked about, the judicial insurrection, because it's such an
- 6:55Speaker 1: important point. And I want to get back to it because...
- 7:00Speaker 1: Even though there's this divide in MAGA and people are
- 7:04Speaker 1: suggesting that President Trump hasn't done what he promised to
- 7:06Speaker 1: do and there's people saying he should indict more people
- 7:09Speaker 1: and all these things that they keep laying at his feet,
- 7:11Speaker 1: all this blame, this judicial insurrection you talk about has
- 7:14Speaker 1: consistently blocked Trump from doing a lot of the things
- 7:17Speaker 1: that he's intended on doing, whether it's accountability for some
- 7:19Speaker 1: of these folks under Crossfire Hurricane or the Russian collusion,
- 7:23Speaker 1: all of these things. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE. YOU KEEP MEETING JUDGES
- 7:26Speaker 1: AND PEOPLE SAYING THESE ARE REPUBLICAN JUDGES OR EVEN TRUMP
- 7:28Speaker 1: APPOINTED JUDGES IN THE CASE OF SOME OF THESE JUSTICES.
- 7:31Speaker 1: BUT I REALLY FEEL LIKE THERE'S STILL THIS ANTI-TRUMP ESTABLISHMENT
- 7:36Speaker 1: OUT THERE ON OUR OWN SIDE THAT HAS LIKE, AND
- 7:40Speaker 1: MAYBE I'M SEEING THIS WRONG, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY
- 7:42Speaker 1: HAVE BLOCKED THE PRESIDENT JUST AS SUCCESSFULLY AS THE LEFT
- 7:46Speaker 1: HAS DONE IT AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING FOR ME TO SEE.
- 7:48Speaker 1: AM I WRONG? AM I SEEING THIS INCORRECTLY?
- 7:54Speaker 3: So even on the lawfare, on the indictments, as you
- 7:56Speaker 3: correctly point out, we did see the tossing out of
- 7:59Speaker 3: the indictments of people like James Comey, people like Tish James,
- 8:02Speaker 3: attorney general of New York State. So the president has
- 8:04Speaker 3: had virtually the entirety of his agenda, everything from immigration
- 8:08Speaker 3: to tariffs to lawfare and beyond. He has had it stopped.
- 8:14Speaker 3: by lower courts and, indeed, the Supreme Court. And, yes,
- 8:18Speaker 3: it is true that the least dangerous branch, Article 3,
- 8:21Speaker 3: does have the power to serve as a check on
- 8:23Speaker 3: Article 1 of the Congress and Article 2 of the
- 8:24Speaker 3: executive branch. It is also true that Donald Trump has
- 8:27Speaker 3: been the victim of more so-called nationwide universal injunctions and
- 8:31Speaker 3: various other similar procedural rulings. than all the other presidents
- 8:35Speaker 3: in American history combined. That is just a fact. You
- 8:37Speaker 3: can look it up.
- 8:38Speaker 2: There are people who track this.
- 8:40Speaker 3: And that's not just calling balls and strikes, to paraphrase
- 8:43Speaker 3: John Roberts back at the 2005 Senate confirmation hearing. That
- 8:46Speaker 3: is putting an ideological thumb on the scales of Trump.
- 8:49Speaker 3: had to fight back against that. Listen, there's also the
- 8:52Speaker 3: longer-term question of judicial nominees. Now, Donald Trump's lower court
- 8:57Speaker 3: picks in both his first term and his second term
- 9:00Speaker 3: have been invariably phenomenal. There are very, very, very few
- 9:04Speaker 3: Trump picks in the lower courts that I can identify
- 9:06Speaker 3: and say that was a miss.
- 9:07Speaker 1: There are a handful.
- 9:09Speaker 3: It's really neither here nor there. Overwhelming success when it
- 9:13Speaker 3: comes to lower courts.
- 9:14Speaker 1: When it comes to the question of the U.S.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Supreme Court, look, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett are just
- 9:21Speaker 3: not Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito.
- 9:22Speaker 2: They're just not.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Kavanaugh, I tend to prefer slightly to Barrett, but really
- 9:26Speaker 3: neither is batting at a high enough average. So there
- 9:29Speaker 3: are some things that we're still not getting right when
- 9:32Speaker 3: it comes to the absolute highest level of judicial nominations.
- 9:35Speaker 3: I thought there was a real chance that Sam Alito
- 9:37Speaker 3: might resign this break. He clearly has decided not to
- 9:39Speaker 3: do so. So we'll see if Donald Trump gets an
- 9:41Speaker 3: opportunity to nominate another justice to the high court. At
- 9:44Speaker 3: this point, it's entirely possible, frankly, that he doesn't. But
- 9:46Speaker 3: that will be another area to potentially try to remedy
- 9:50Speaker 3: the ship of this judicial insurrection if we get that opportunity.
- 9:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:54Speaker 1: You know, I try not to sit back in the
- 9:58Speaker 1: realm of sort of partisan, conspiracy and be like, oh,
- 10:01Speaker 1: everybody is just, you know, it's just all against Trump.
- 10:04Speaker 1: But man, like you said, you see this happening and
- 10:06Speaker 1: you're so frustrated because Barack Obama was basically able to
- 10:09Speaker 1: do whatever he wanted to do with his bench. And
- 10:11Speaker 1: then you get Donald Trump and it's like every opportunity,
- 10:14Speaker 1: like you said, national injunctions, the Supreme Court handing down
- 10:17Speaker 1: decisions that make us go, what? The dissents making a
- 10:19Speaker 1: lot more sense than the majority opinions. The three liberal
- 10:22Speaker 1: justices consistently holding to their ideology when the conservative justices
- 10:26Speaker 1: keep breaking from it. It's very frustrating to me. It's
- 10:28Speaker 1: frustrating to a lot of American people. And at the
- 10:30Speaker 1: end of the day, this isn't about Trump. This isn't
- 10:32Speaker 1: about politics. This is about securing American elections. And like
- 10:35Speaker 1: you said, Trump has the ability to make rules in
- 10:37Speaker 1: his own executive branch. And it's not up to the
- 10:39Speaker 1: Supreme Court to decide what the states can and can't
- 10:41Speaker 1: do within reason. And so I don't think this makes
- 10:43Speaker 1: a lot of sense. But look, we'll keep fighting. Josh Hammer,
- 10:46Speaker 1: great takes as always. Thank you so much for being here.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Always a pleasure, David. Thank you.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Thank you. For three months, one of the most powerful
- 10:54Speaker 1: men in the United States Senate. just kind of vanished.
- 10:59Speaker 1: No one would say where he was, how's he doing.
- 11:02Speaker 1: We had a couple of proof of life pictures. It
- 11:05Speaker 1: led to some wild speculation with whether or not he
- 11:07Speaker 1: was even still alive in some instances. But yesterday, yesterday,
- 11:11Speaker 1: he showed up to vote. He's resurfacing. But there's still
- 11:15Speaker 1: a lot more questions, and the story is far from over.
- 11:17Speaker 1: We're discussing all of that right after the break.

- 12:04Speaker 1: Last night, we asked a pretty simple question, kind of
- 12:07Speaker 1: a ridiculous question. Where's Mitch McConnell? Will he be seen today?
- 12:13Speaker 1: For nearly three months, the former leader of the Senate,
- 12:18Speaker 1: he's probably one of them, at least was one of
- 12:20Speaker 1: the most powerful men in Washington. He vanished from public
- 12:23Speaker 1: view after a medical incident. He's calling it a fall. Now,
- 12:28Speaker 1: he hasn't cast a vote since June. His office went
- 12:31Speaker 1: completely silent, except for those two proof-of-life pictures he got,
- 12:36Speaker 1: one with the newspaper. It was really odd. Now, tonight,
- 12:39Speaker 1: we have an answer about Mitch McConnell's health. He appears
- 12:43Speaker 1: to be back, ending all the speculation about Mitch McConnell.
- 12:48Speaker 1: He was wheeled onto the House floor of the United
- 12:51Speaker 1: States Senate. And he cast his first vote in 90 days. Now,
- 12:55Speaker 1: in a Senate this closely divided, his vote was the
- 12:58Speaker 1: deciding one, 47 to 46, to advance another one of
- 13:01Speaker 1: President Trump's judicial nominees. That's a win. Can't get upset
- 13:05Speaker 1: with the man for that. In a statement, McConnell's office
- 13:08Speaker 1: said his recovery has been, quote, well, they say he
- 13:11Speaker 1: said it, a long and often frustrating process made harder
- 13:15Speaker 1: by the lingering effects of childhood polio that he survived
- 13:19Speaker 1: decades ago. He admitted he's, in his words, still not
- 13:23Speaker 1: quite back to 100%. He told his colleagues he intends
- 13:26Speaker 1: to be there for the tough votes when his conference
- 13:29Speaker 1: needs him. And to reporters waiting for him, he put
- 13:31Speaker 1: it plainly, time to get back to work. Finished a
- 13:35Speaker 1: job for this Congress. So the mystery's solved. That's it.
- 13:38Speaker 1: He's alive. He's working, sort of. And the wild speculation
- 13:42Speaker 1: that filled the vacuum these past three months can finally
- 13:45Speaker 1: be put to rest, right? Well, sort of, because the
- 13:48Speaker 1: bigger question remains, how is his cognition? How is his health?
- 13:54Speaker 1: Is simply being able to show up to vote smiling?
- 13:59Speaker 1: Being propped up by the people who hold power just
- 14:02Speaker 1: for the sake of the institution? Is that the principle
- 14:05Speaker 1: this republic was founded on? The American people have every
- 14:09Speaker 1: right to still ask these questions about the age, health,
- 14:11Speaker 1: and fitness of the people who hold power over our lives.
- 14:16Speaker 1: That's not being insensitive. It's accountability. Now, let's talk about
- 14:20Speaker 1: where this story goes next here with Reaction Social Media Influencer.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Greg is fire. Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time.
- 14:30Speaker 1: This story is the weirdest story. It is the weirdest
- 14:32Speaker 1: story because we were doing yesterday, we were like watching
- 14:35Speaker 1: a reporter staked out in front of his house. Real
- 14:37Speaker 1: question about whether or not he would show up. He did.
- 14:40Speaker 1: People are questioning whether or not he was alive. I mean,
- 14:42Speaker 1: that's how crazy this story became. They weren't even sure
- 14:46Speaker 1: what the status was of a U.S.
- 14:48Speaker 6: Senator.
- 14:48Speaker 1: And all we had was two stills. The weirdest thing ever.
- 14:51Speaker 1: So now he's back. But, Greg, this doesn't put to
- 14:53Speaker 1: rest the concern over, you know, the aging representatives of
- 15:00Speaker 1: in Washington without term limits and whether they're representing the
- 15:03Speaker 1: interests of their constituents, right?
- 15:06Speaker 7: Yeah, we need term limits. I'm pretty sure Trump backs
- 15:09Speaker 7: term limits too. I'm sure it's the senators who know
- 15:12Speaker 7: they've made a fortune and they'll stay in there for
- 15:14Speaker 7: as long as it takes. Look at McConnell, barely hanging on,
- 15:17Speaker 7: but his wife's probably like, hey, look, you're cashing checks, honey.
- 15:21Speaker 7: Let's just make it happen. He talks to him and
- 15:23Speaker 7: he's sitting there and he's probably not even making a
- 15:25Speaker 7: noise or a peep. I was surprised to see him
- 15:27Speaker 7: come out of the vehicle this morning. Now, apparently he
- 15:30Speaker 7: took a vote yesterday. Is that right?
- 15:32Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Today too.
- 15:34Speaker 7: He did take a vote.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Well, he was there to take a vote, but they
- 15:37Speaker 1: couldn't get cloture. So he didn't have to vote, but yeah,
- 15:39Speaker 1: he took a vote yesterday. Actually he was deciding vote.
- 15:41Speaker 1: So he's voting.
- 15:42Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:43Speaker 1: He's voting.
- 15:43Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 15:43Speaker 1: He's voting.
- 15:44Speaker 7: I mean, that's, that's a good step. I think at
- 15:46Speaker 7: this point, I think I heard that he missed 61
- 15:48Speaker 7: roll calls.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Wow.
- 15:50Speaker 7: Over this time. I mean, and look, the money they're making,
- 15:53Speaker 7: the net worths, it's unbelievable. I don't care if you're
- 15:56Speaker 7: Republican or Democrat. We should want reform. We should want
- 16:00Speaker 7: term limits. We should want people to come in, do
- 16:02Speaker 7: the job, get out. They're getting too comfortable. There's nothing
- 16:05Speaker 7: to stop them.
- 16:06Speaker 6: They don't care anymore.
- 16:06Speaker 7: They don't show up half the time anyways. Even if
- 16:08Speaker 7: Mitch McConnell was healthy, you look at some of the
- 16:11Speaker 7: senators who don't even show up for a lot of
- 16:13Speaker 7: the votes.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, it is not a knock on the man.
- 16:16Speaker 1: I'm glad that he's alive and healthy-ish. Honestly, I am.
- 16:22Speaker 1: I mean, we don't ever wish anyone harm, and he's
- 16:24Speaker 1: been a good Republican for a lot of part of
- 16:27Speaker 1: his career. Now, lately, there's been some beef with Donald Trump.
- 16:30Speaker 1: He hasn't backed the Save America Act. That's very frustrating.
- 16:33Speaker 1: But that being said, nobody's wishing him harm. Nobody's wishing
- 16:35Speaker 1: anything ill-will towards him. But the fact remains, that seat
- 16:40Speaker 1: doesn't belong to him. And you mentioned... IT'S A PAYCHECK
- 16:42Speaker 1: FOR HIM. I DON'T THINK IT'S A PAYCHECK FOR HIM.
- 16:44Speaker 1: I THINK IT'S A I THINK IT'S THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM.
- 16:48Speaker 1: IT'S THE INFLUENCE THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. IT'S THE POWER
- 16:51Speaker 1: THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. IT'S THE JOBS OF HIS STAFF
- 16:53Speaker 1: THAT THEY'RE WILLING AROUND. YOU KNOW, IT'S THE OBLIGATIONS. I
- 16:56Speaker 1: DON'T THINK THE MITCH MCCONNELL THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO THE
- 16:58Speaker 1: FLOOR TO VOTE IS THE MITCH MCCONNELL THAT HIS VOTERS ELECTED.
- 17:02Speaker 1: I THINK IT'S THE MITCH MCCONNELL. THAT'S WHAT HE'S THERE
- 17:07Speaker 1: TO SERVE. HE'S THERE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT SORT
- 17:11Speaker 1: OF ORBIT HIM, AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT
- 17:14Speaker 1: SERVING THE PEOPLE BECAUSE HOW CAN ANYBODY ARGUE THAT HE
- 17:17Speaker 1: IS ADVOCATING FOR THE PEOPLE OF HIS DISTRICT? AT THIS
- 17:20Speaker 1: POINT HE'S NOT. I CAN'T IMAGINE HE IS, RIGHT?
- 17:25Speaker 8: YEAH, I KNOW.
- 17:25Speaker 7: I DON'T KNOW IF YOU THINK REALLY HE KNOWS WHAT'S
- 17:28Speaker 7: GOING ON. IT'S LIKE A JOE BIDEN TYPE OF THING
- 17:30Speaker 7: GOING ON. EVEN WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS IN, THE DIFFERENCE
- 17:32Speaker 7: BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT HAS ALWAYS We weren't
- 17:36Speaker 7: going around saying, oh, I hope this is it for
- 17:38Speaker 7: Joe Biden. You know, I remember a lot of my
- 17:39Speaker 7: friends going, oh, wow, this is crazy. Like we felt
- 17:42Speaker 7: so bad that he was put in that position and
- 17:44Speaker 7: we knew he was just carrying out his duties. Like
- 17:46Speaker 7: you're saying, like Mitch McConnell, everyone around him just saying,
- 17:49Speaker 7: keep the ship going, keep the Democrats in power. I
- 17:52Speaker 7: feel like the same thing's happening with Mitch McConnell. You've
- 17:54Speaker 7: had that seat for so long. They're afraid to lose
- 17:56Speaker 7: that to a Democrat or at least afraid to lose
- 17:58Speaker 7: that to somebody that they don't know, shake hands with
- 18:01Speaker 7: backstage and know the game with. The game gets rigged
- 18:04Speaker 7: by these people that are in for so long. So
- 18:07Speaker 7: that's why I think Mitch McConnell is no longer doing
- 18:09Speaker 7: the votes that we want. Like, we're not happy with
- 18:12Speaker 7: a lot of these, you know, what do you call it?
- 18:14Speaker 7: Establishment Republicans that just sit in an office. They make
- 18:17Speaker 7: such good friendships. They no longer have to really, you know, fight.
- 18:21Speaker 7: They don't have to do anything. They're just like, hey,
- 18:23Speaker 7: it's more important for them to sit back and go, yeah,
- 18:25Speaker 7: I can help you, buddy. I can help you, buddy.
- 18:27Speaker 7: more so than the actual people. And I'm sick of it,
- 18:29Speaker 7: to be honest with you.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and I think that that's consistent with what
- 18:32Speaker 1: a lot of people feel. And it's not his. They
- 18:35Speaker 1: could have given that seat. They could have had an
- 18:37Speaker 1: election and put somebody in place that could have actively...
- 18:41Speaker 1: REPRESENTED THE VOTERS OF KENTUCKY, AND THAT'S WHAT IT BALLS
- 18:43Speaker 1: DOWN TO. THAT SEAT DOES NOT BELONG. NONE OF THESE
- 18:45Speaker 1: SEATS BELONG TO THE POLITICIAN. THEY BELONG TO THE PEOPLE.
- 18:49Speaker 1: AND THESE ENTIRE ESTABLISHMENTS THAT THEY BUILD MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE
- 18:52Speaker 1: FOR ANYBODY TO CHALLENGE THEM, ESPECIALLY SENIOR LEADERSHIP LIKE MITCH MCCONNELL.
- 18:56Speaker 1: YOU CAN'T BEAT MITCH MCCONNELL. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY
- 18:58Speaker 1: COMES IN HIS CAMPAIGNS FROM EVERYWHERE? BECAUSE HE IS, LIKE
- 19:01Speaker 1: YOU SAID, A PROVEN COMMODITY, A PROVEN VOTE. HE SHAKES
- 19:03Speaker 1: HANDS WITH PEOPLE. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO FIX.
- 19:05Speaker 1: THAT'S WHY PEOPLE FEEL FRUSTRATED. And, you know, we need
- 19:08Speaker 1: certain votes to back the president, especially with Save America. Look,
- 19:12Speaker 1: I'm glad McConnell's doing better. I still think what he
- 19:15Speaker 1: represents is is really something that needs to be fixed.
- 19:19Speaker 1: And that's term limits and actual representation.
- 19:22Speaker 7: Yeah, I hope he comes out of this and somebody
- 19:25Speaker 7: gets this, you know, comes out of this healthy, retires.
- 19:28Speaker 7: Somebody gets the seat that's aggressive, younger. They need to
- 19:31Speaker 7: put somebody on that's going to be in there and
- 19:33Speaker 7: obviously have the president's back. We've got a couple more years.
- 19:35Speaker 7: We need to get it done now. We've waited too long.
- 19:38Speaker 7: I've been pushing myself saying, hey, look, even when I
- 19:40Speaker 7: hear criticisms, I'm like, look, I'm not beholden to anybody.
- 19:44Speaker 7: I'm a Trump supporter, but I'm a conservative first. I
- 19:47Speaker 7: want some of these things done that are going to
- 19:48Speaker 7: save our country, you know. We can't be letting loose
- 19:51Speaker 7: ends when the Democrats one day get back in office.
- 19:54Speaker 7: We got to get it done now. So we need
- 19:55Speaker 7: to get it done under Trump. He's one of the
- 19:57Speaker 7: strongest voices we're going to have. He's not an establishment Republican,
- 20:01Speaker 7: regardless of what people say about his second term. He's
- 20:04Speaker 7: still going to be out there and speak. I just
- 20:06Speaker 7: heard him saying, we can't have this crazy mass migration.
- 20:08Speaker 7: We got to keep the border safe You're not seeing
- 20:11Speaker 7: that in a lot of the Western world right now.
- 20:13Speaker 7: So we got to get stuff done now.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Greg is fire. Thank you so much
- 20:17Speaker 1: for being here as always. Great takes. And I look
- 20:19Speaker 1: forward to having you on again real soon, my friend.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Thanks, David. You're awesome, man.
- 20:22Speaker 7: Appreciate you.
- 20:23Speaker 1: You are awesome too. Thank you.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Coming up.
- 20:26Speaker 1: A former researcher at one of the biggest AI companies
- 20:29Speaker 1: on Earth? Well, he says the technology he's creating could
- 20:34Speaker 1: kill us all. And 160 million people have watched him
- 20:39Speaker 1: say it. Is anyone in Washington listening? It is time
- 20:42Speaker 1: to regulate AI. Or is it too late? Stick around.

- 21:27Speaker 1: AI, AI seems to be taking over everything. And outside
- 21:31Speaker 1: of flock cameras, I don't think people are more concerned
- 21:35Speaker 1: about a technology outside of AI. And it's about to
- 21:39Speaker 1: reshape every single corner of your life. And it's advancing
- 21:44Speaker 1: faster than almost anyone is ready for. Here's an uncomfortable
- 21:49Speaker 1: question nobody in Washington has an answer to. Who is
- 21:53Speaker 1: making sure that Any of this is done safely. And
- 21:57Speaker 1: the answer right now is really not that many people.
- 22:00Speaker 1: It's kind of nobody. I mean, there is some legislation
- 22:03Speaker 1: out there, but I don't know if it's coming soon enough.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Let's go back three years. Call them the titans of
- 22:09Speaker 1: Silicon Valley. The very men building this technology sat down
- 22:14Speaker 1: with United States Senate and warned them in their own words.
- 22:17Speaker 1: These are the people who make it of a civilizational risk.
- 22:22Speaker 1: And this isn't some old story fading into the past.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Just this week, a former researcher from one of the
- 22:28Speaker 1: biggest AI companies in the world went public with a
- 22:31Speaker 1: warning that the technology they are building could, quote, kill
- 22:36Speaker 1: us all. Why are they creating it? Why are they
- 22:41Speaker 1: creating a technology?
- 22:42Speaker 6: Anyway.
- 22:44Speaker 1: That warning has now been seen more than 160 million times.
- 22:49Speaker 1: And his former colleagues, they're not laughing at this. One
- 22:52Speaker 1: of them who leads safety research at that very same company,
- 22:55Speaker 1: he believes that it is better than a one in
- 22:58Speaker 1: 10 chance that AI, oh my gosh, that AI causes
- 23:03Speaker 1: human extinction within a decade. One in 10, it's a
- 23:09Speaker 1: 10% chance. These are the people building it, saying that
- 23:13Speaker 1: there's a 10% chance it ends us. And after three
- 23:17Speaker 1: years of warning like that, countless hearings, task forces, speeches,
- 23:22Speaker 1: Congress hasn't really passed any comprehensive regulations. So President Trump
- 23:27Speaker 1: has stepped in. He signed an executive order to create
- 23:29Speaker 1: what he calls one rulebook, a single national standard for
- 23:32Speaker 1: AI to stop a patchwork of 50 different state laws
- 23:35Speaker 1: from strangling American innovation. I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING HERE.
- 23:41Speaker 1: THE MORE WE LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO, I GUESS, HARNESS
- 23:46Speaker 1: THIS TECHNOLOGY, OTHER COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
- 23:49Speaker 1: PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T WANT TO SEE CHINA HAVE ANY ADVANTAGE.
- 23:57Speaker 1: HE LOOKED AT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER AND HE CALLED IT
- 24:00Speaker 1: A SUBSIDY TO BIG TECH THAT LETS TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES RUN WILD.
- 24:04Speaker 1: AND CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE CAME OUT AGAINST IT. AND
- 24:08Speaker 1: PLENTY OF LEGAL SCHOLARS ARE ARGUING THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER CAN'T
- 24:11Speaker 1: LEGALLY OVERRIDE STATE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE. ONLY CONGRESS
- 24:14Speaker 1: CAN DO THAT. SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? THE
- 24:16Speaker 1: MOST POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY IN THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE
- 24:19Speaker 1: IS BEING BUILT AT BREAK-NECK SPEED BY PEOPLE WHO THEMSELVES
- 24:22Speaker 1: ARE WARNING IT CAN END US. And the government of
- 24:28Speaker 1: the United States can't agree on how to regulate them.
- 24:32Speaker 1: To talk about where this thing goes next, and somebody's
- 24:34Speaker 1: been sounding the alarm on this for years. He built
- 24:36Speaker 1: an entire social media platform to kind of fight it
- 24:40Speaker 1: in some ways. Jeff Dornick, founder of Pickaxe, my good friend.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time. You go first.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Honestly, with all of this, right?
- 24:54Speaker 9: I'm just sitting here and I'm like, there's a propaganda
- 24:57Speaker 9: machine that's happening on both sides of the aisle right now.
- 25:01Speaker 9: Like on one hand, you've got the anti-AI crowd that's like,
- 25:04Speaker 9: it's going to destroy humanity. Everybody's going to die instantaneously
- 25:08Speaker 9: because AI robots are going to go rogue and we
- 25:10Speaker 9: have Terminator. And then you've got the other side, like,
- 25:12Speaker 9: you know, that's President Trump pushing the narrative that like,
- 25:15Speaker 9: there's no chance that that's going to happen. And anybody
- 25:17Speaker 9: who says that is a Chinese propagandist. And at a
- 25:20Speaker 9: certain point, I'm kind of looking at this and I'm like,
- 25:22Speaker 9: I don't necessarily agree with either side, and I also
- 25:24Speaker 9: agree with both sides at the same time. Like, the
- 25:27Speaker 9: truth is somewhere in the middle or this kind of
- 25:29Speaker 9: third option where there is potential for great, amazing things
- 25:33Speaker 9: that we can do with AI. There's also potential for
- 25:35Speaker 9: utter destruction in the end of humanity. Like you said,
- 25:37Speaker 9: there's that 10% chance that AI could destroy us all.
- 25:41Speaker 2: I think that's very valid. I think it's very legit.
- 25:44Speaker 9: We are also in a race with artificial, with China
- 25:48Speaker 9: over the AI race.
- 25:49Speaker 2: That is a very real scenario.
- 25:51Speaker 9: And then there's also a very real scenario that we're
- 25:53Speaker 9: dealing with AI companies going crazy when it comes to
- 25:57Speaker 9: surveillance state, when it comes to all sorts of applications
- 26:00Speaker 9: that I think are wildly unconstitutional and violate our civil
- 26:04Speaker 9: rights and liberties. And so I'm just sitting here in
- 26:06Speaker 9: the middle and I'm like, I disagree and agree with
- 26:08Speaker 9: everybody on all sides simultaneously, which is a very weird
- 26:11Speaker 9: place to be in.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Jeff, because I see the opportunity in AI. I mean,
- 26:17Speaker 1: with efficiencies and really it's a tool like any other
- 26:21Speaker 1: tool You know, it's like being afraid of the lawnmower.
- 26:24Speaker 1: And you're like, well, my, you know, my mules that
- 26:26Speaker 1: pull the whatever you used to mow the lawn with
- 26:29Speaker 1: on fields back in the day before technology happened. Maybe
- 26:32Speaker 1: I'm struggling with an analogy. I need AI to help me.
- 26:34Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, technology has always
- 26:38Speaker 1: helped us. But AI, I think, freaks people out a
- 26:41Speaker 1: little bit because a lot of the concern is over
- 26:44Speaker 1: the fact that, OK, but once we set this thing loose,
- 26:46Speaker 1: like it's like putting out a virus. We won't be
- 26:48Speaker 1: able to control it anymore. And a lot of the
- 26:50Speaker 1: conversation has been built around, you know, it's breaking its
- 26:53Speaker 1: containment and starting its own viruses and hacking into places
- 26:57Speaker 1: and all of these things. But the reality is this.
- 27:01Speaker 1: We can regulate it in the United States. And this
- 27:03Speaker 1: is what the tug of war has been about. We
- 27:04Speaker 1: can regulate this in the United States. We can put
- 27:07Speaker 1: the brakes on in the United States if we can
- 27:09Speaker 1: at a federal level. And there's some argument with whether
- 27:11Speaker 1: or not we can. Certain states can regulate it. But
- 27:14Speaker 1: China is moving full speed ahead at developing AI. Data
- 27:19Speaker 1: centers tied directly into this because you need these massive
- 27:21Speaker 1: data centers to process all the information that AI needs
- 27:24Speaker 1: to do its thing too. And China isn't stopping its
- 27:27Speaker 1: building of the data centers either. So where you have
- 27:29Speaker 1: China harnessing full throttle data centers and AI, And you
- 27:35Speaker 1: have the United States saying, well, I don't quite trust this.
- 27:37Speaker 1: It can end humanity. Well, should we let the only
- 27:40Speaker 1: country with the power to end humanity be a country
- 27:42Speaker 1: that's our biggest adversary? So I understand Trump's position like, hey, guys,
- 27:47Speaker 1: we're going to regulate ourselves into extinction with this. What
- 27:50Speaker 1: do you make of all this, Jeff?
- 27:51Speaker 9: So, again, it's a very nuanced conversation, which is difficult
- 27:55Speaker 9: to condense. But the reality of it is, is that
- 27:58Speaker 9: it is a very real scenario that whoever wins the
- 28:01Speaker 9: AI race wins. Basically has the chance to dominate the world,
- 28:04Speaker 9: has the chance to rule the world. And Elon Musk
- 28:06Speaker 9: a few years ago said that there's going to be
- 28:08Speaker 9: two potential scenarios, neither of which I really like, but
- 28:11Speaker 9: two potential end games. And he said this to Benjamin
- 28:12Speaker 9: Netanyahu a few years ago. One is you're going to
- 28:15Speaker 9: have Terminator. I would argue that the Terminator scenario is
- 28:17Speaker 9: if China wins, wins the AI race. So that's a
- 28:20Speaker 9: very real scenario that we have to deal with. Because
- 28:22Speaker 9: they're already dealing with robotics. They're dealing with AI. They're
- 28:24Speaker 9: dealing with the weaponization of it. It's going to be
- 28:26Speaker 9: kind of like Iron Man 2 with those humanoid robots
- 28:29Speaker 9: that are run by AI.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Very real scenario. We could see Terminator if China wins.
- 28:33Speaker 2: That's for real.
- 28:35Speaker 9: On the other side, you've got Elon Musk describing heaven
- 28:39Speaker 9: on earth in the best case scenario. I would argue
- 28:41Speaker 9: that in all reality, the heaven on earth scenario would
- 28:43Speaker 9: be if the United States wins the race, that's more
- 28:47Speaker 9: what we'd experience.
- 28:48Speaker 2: But then he goes on to describe what heaven on
- 28:51Speaker 2: earth is.
- 28:51Speaker 9: And what he describes is what he later has called
- 28:54Speaker 9: a communist utopia where humans don't work because AI and
- 28:58Speaker 9: robots will do everything. We'll live on either a UBI
- 29:02Speaker 9: or there'll be no more need for money because it's
- 29:05Speaker 9: all AI-driven. So then it just comes down to power
- 29:09Speaker 9: and resources. the centralization of power, really, it just comes
- 29:13Speaker 9: from the government. We're all reliant either on the government
- 29:15Speaker 9: or these tech companies. And we just live a hedonistic lifestyle.
- 29:18Speaker 9: We just sit around on our couch. We watch TV
- 29:20Speaker 9: inside of our brains and we go about our days.
- 29:23Speaker 2: And I don't want either one.
- 29:24Speaker 9: Of those scenarios because that doesn't represent American values and
- 29:27Speaker 9: neither does Terminator.
- 29:28Speaker 2: And so it's one of those things where there's got
- 29:30Speaker 2: to be.
- 29:31Speaker 9: An America first option here that actually puts American people
- 29:35Speaker 9: first and actually values our constitutional rights. And I think
- 29:38Speaker 9: that that's where a lot of the fight over the
- 29:40Speaker 9: AI data centers, in my opinion, is a distraction. We
- 29:43Speaker 9: need AI data centers in order to combat China. That
- 29:46Speaker 9: is 100% true. But also I think the conversation we
- 29:50Speaker 9: should be having is what is the application of artificial
- 29:53Speaker 9: intelligence into American life? What do we want to see
- 29:57Speaker 9: You know, this new world with AI look like in
- 30:01Speaker 9: America where we're not just giving over all power and
- 30:04Speaker 9: control to AI and robots.
- 30:05Speaker 2: We no longer have purpose as human beings. We no
- 30:07Speaker 2: longer work. We no longer own anything.
- 30:09Speaker 9: And I think that's the conversation we should be having,
- 30:12Speaker 9: not fighting over whether we should be fast tracking or
- 30:15Speaker 9: slowing down AI. To me, I think it's more about
- 30:17Speaker 9: how are we applying AI within the American way of life?
- 30:22Speaker 1: I don't know if there's an answer yet that we
- 30:24Speaker 1: have figured out. All I know is it's creating definitely
- 30:27Speaker 1: more ammunition for people to use against one side or
- 30:31Speaker 1: the other, pointing blames. I mean, you've seen the debates
- 30:34Speaker 1: playing out right now on social media. I'm sure you're
- 30:35Speaker 1: seeing it on your platform, pro and against President Trump's position,
- 30:39Speaker 1: other people's positions. It's a mess. We've got to figure
- 30:41Speaker 1: it out. And I think the only solution to this
- 30:43Speaker 1: is at least for us to put aside what are
- 30:46Speaker 1: perceived to be partisan values here and kind of look
- 30:49Speaker 1: at the, like you said, the America first outcome of this.
- 30:52Speaker 1: We have to figure this out because it is the
- 30:54Speaker 1: future one way or the other. And either we're subject
- 30:57Speaker 1: to it or we're in control of it. And I
- 30:59Speaker 1: think that's the conversation that we're going to have to
- 31:01Speaker 1: keep having. Jeff Dornick, thank you so much for being
- 31:03Speaker 1: here as always. Great conversation.
- 31:04Speaker 2: Thank you. Appreciate it.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Tomorrow afternoon, the Federal Reserve decides whether to raise the
- 31:13Speaker 1: cost of your mortgage, your car, and your credit card
- 31:17Speaker 1: payments seven weeks before an election. We have Grant Cardone
- 31:21Speaker 1: on the Cardone Zone telling you why there might actually
- 31:25Speaker 1: be an opportunity if rates go up. You're not going
- 31:28Speaker 1: to want to miss this. Stay tuned.
- 31:36Speaker 5: For all of our viewers out there asking where to
- 31:38Speaker 5: watch One America News, we'd like to introduce you to

- 32:01Speaker 5: the news and conservative talk you can't get anywhere else.
- 32:13Speaker 1: You're going to hear a lot about the Federal Reserve
- 32:17Speaker 1: over the next few days because tomorrow afternoon at around
- 32:21Speaker 1: 2 o'clock, they're going to make a decision that could
- 32:25Speaker 1: hit your wallet harder than just about anything Congress can do.
- 32:30Speaker 1: And right now, a lot of experts are saying that
- 32:33Speaker 1: the Fed will most likely hike rates. That's right. We're
- 32:38Speaker 1: not talking about cutting rates, as Trump has been asking for.
- 32:42Speaker 1: We're talking about a potential rate hike. It's expected due
- 32:46Speaker 1: to inflation related to energy from the war with Iran.
- 32:50Speaker 1: But the rate hike, it just doesn't impact energy. It
- 32:53Speaker 1: would raise the cost of mortgages, your car loan, your
- 32:56Speaker 1: credit card, and the interest on our national debt. And
- 33:00Speaker 1: let's be honest, this comes at the absolute worst possible
- 33:05Speaker 1: moment with seven weeks before an election, with families already
- 33:08Speaker 1: stretched thin, with everybody already talking about the economy. Of course,
- 33:12Speaker 1: President Trump is in an all-out fight to stop the
- 33:15Speaker 1: rate hike. The president, the vice president, the treasury secretary,
- 33:19Speaker 1: they've all been hammering the same message. The Fed's new chairman,
- 33:23Speaker 1: do not, please do not raise rates. Cut them. Trump
- 33:28Speaker 1: has said rates should be a full three points lower
- 33:31Speaker 1: to ease the crushing cost of the national debt and
- 33:35Speaker 1: let this economy just run. And he's got the ammunition
- 33:38Speaker 1: because last month's job reports, it came in at nearly
- 33:41Speaker 1: triple what experts predicted. The economy is strong. There seems
- 33:45Speaker 1: to be no reason for a hike, except maybe for politics.
- 33:49Speaker 1: And my next guest is also sounding the alarm about
- 33:51Speaker 1: what happens if the Fed gets this wrong. He posted
- 33:54Speaker 1: this morning this, saying, if rates don't come down, there
- 33:59Speaker 1: will be problems of biblical proportions across banking as $ 1
- 34:02Speaker 1: trillion in debt maturing this year and majority is held
- 34:06Speaker 1: with banks. It's a buyer's market with loans maturing, rents flat,
- 34:10Speaker 1: interest rates climbing. It takes courage, but he also says
- 34:13Speaker 1: this is where the big money is made. Always an optimist.
- 34:16Speaker 1: A trillion dollars in debt coming due, most of it
- 34:19Speaker 1: sitting on the books of the banks. And at the
- 34:22Speaker 1: exact moment, the Fed is thinking about making that debt
- 34:25Speaker 1: more expensive. He calls it a risk of biblical proportions.
- 34:28Speaker 1: He also calls it an opportunity of a lifetime. For
- 34:31Speaker 1: anyone with the courage to move, he's a man who
- 34:34Speaker 1: built an empire doing exactly this and taking advantage of opportunities.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Let's get his take. I'm honored to welcome Mr. Grant
- 34:40Speaker 1: Cardone back to Dave Pollack Prime Time. We're calling this
- 34:42Speaker 1: the Cardone Zone, my favorite weekly economic segment. So, Grant,
- 34:47Speaker 1: explain this. Rates go up. A lot of people are
- 34:49Speaker 1: freaking out about it. You say there's opportunity, but let's
- 34:52Speaker 1: first start about the biblical proportions of the consequences of
- 34:56Speaker 1: a rate hike.
- 34:57Speaker 6: Well, look, you have loans maturing, right, in this cycle.
- 35:00Speaker 10: So there's about a trillion dollars worth of loans across apartments, hotels, hospitality.
- 35:05Speaker 10: Some of that's held with Fannie and Freddie Mac. Most
- 35:08Speaker 10: of it, though, is held by regional banks or even
- 35:11Speaker 10: big banks, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, et cetera. So that's
- 35:14Speaker 10: where most of America keeps their savings, their checking. and
- 35:19Speaker 10: maybe their money market accounts, okay? That money is lent
- 35:23Speaker 10: out when you drop money at your checking account, savings account,
- 35:26Speaker 10: or money market. That money is then lent to people
- 35:28Speaker 10: like me that borrow money on three-year, five-year, seven-year, 10-year.
- 35:33Speaker 10: A lot of this money was borrowed three and five
- 35:34Speaker 10: years ago back in 2020, 2022, and it's due this year.
- 35:39Speaker 10: It's a trillion this year. It's almost 900 billion next year.
- 35:42Speaker 6: It's due. Guess what? When your lease payment's due on
- 35:46Speaker 6: your car, you got to turn the car in.
- 35:48Speaker 10: When your mortgage payment is due on the loan, you
- 35:52Speaker 10: have to either refinance the loan or you have to
- 35:54Speaker 10: sell the property. We have the highest supply of assets,
- 35:59Speaker 10: properties for sale today than we've had since 2008, maybe
- 36:03Speaker 10: since 2000.
- 36:03Speaker 6: This is the biggest.
- 36:07Speaker 10: Single real estate opportunity in my 68 years being on
- 36:09Speaker 10: this planet, looking at real estate. But it's terrifying because.
- 36:17Speaker 10: This trillion dollars cannot be paid back. The trillion dollars
- 36:20Speaker 10: in debt, David, is probably only worth $ 600 billion.
- 36:24Speaker 6: So somebody has to come up with $ 400.
- 36:26Speaker 10: Billion in losses or to show losses on their books,
- 36:31Speaker 10: and the banks don't want to do that. So last
- 36:33Speaker 10: thing I'll say about that is this. I don't think
- 36:36Speaker 10: the Fed raises tomorrow just for these very reasons. The
- 36:43Speaker 10: only solution here is lower interest rates. And it's like
- 36:48Speaker 10: Trump's being played right now by someone, but I believe
- 36:51Speaker 10: he'll figure out how to pull this off and get
- 36:53Speaker 10: rates lower.
- 36:55Speaker 1: So that, I mean, I hope, I hope they don't
- 36:57Speaker 1: raise rates. At the last Fed meeting, there was some
- 36:59Speaker 1: votes for raising and obviously Warsh— was in favor of
- 37:03Speaker 1: keeping them the same, not lowering them as the president.
- 37:05Speaker 6: Most all the banks think that they're going to reach through, yeah.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Yeah, and Trump has said, look, he supports Warsh. He
- 37:10Speaker 1: has confidence in him. So we'll see what they do.
- 37:12Speaker 1: But let me break this down a little bit because
- 37:14Speaker 1: it's really interesting. You say opportunity. The last big opportunity
- 37:17Speaker 1: came at a tremendous financial meltdown when they were basically
- 37:21Speaker 1: selling everything at a fire sale. And yeah, there were
- 37:24Speaker 1: some real estate opportunities. Nobody had any cash, but there
- 37:26Speaker 1: was real estate opportunities. Are you suggesting that If they
- 37:29Speaker 1: raise rates, we might have a massive market sell-off when
- 37:32Speaker 1: these notes come due?
- 37:34Speaker 10: We already have a market sell-off right now. It's just
- 37:37Speaker 10: being quietly done with guys like me and institutions. And
- 37:41Speaker 10: where middle America, you know, the people out there trying
- 37:46Speaker 10: to buy a home or trade their home, you're looking
- 37:48Speaker 10: too small in the food chain. You need to be
- 37:50Speaker 10: looking for the big fish right now. You like my
- 37:52Speaker 10: fishing analogies, right? So, you know, when the fish aren't biting,
- 37:56Speaker 10: move the boat, man.
- 37:57Speaker 6: That's what I say.
- 37:59Speaker 10: And then if you're not catching what you want, you
- 38:02Speaker 10: gotta move to where.
- 38:04Speaker 6: The pain is. You gotta follow the money, okay?
- 38:07Speaker 10: And unfortunately, most Americans are trying to buy a house
- 38:10Speaker 10: when they should be trying to buy the block.
- 38:13Speaker 6: This is an opportunity.
- 38:14Speaker 10: In 2010, Blackstone went and bought 10,000 condos in Miami.
- 38:24Speaker 10: I saw this in the news on the internet. I
- 38:27Speaker 10: was in Los Angeles. I lived in Los Angeles at
- 38:29Speaker 10: the time. This is what entrepreneurs do when they see opportunity.
- 38:33Speaker 10: I sold my house the following week, took all the
- 38:36Speaker 10: money and went and bought Miami because I was following
- 38:39Speaker 10: the money.
- 38:40Speaker 6: Okay.
- 38:41Speaker 10: And this is what people should be doing right now.
- 38:43Speaker 10: Big institutions are having to sell these big 150, 200 unit,
- 38:46Speaker 10: 300 unit complexes and Smart people right now should learn
- 38:53Speaker 10: about apartment investing, how to buy cashflow, how to get
- 38:56Speaker 10: loans on it, how to raise money for it.
- 38:58Speaker 6: And you will make, you'll make more money in.
- 39:01Speaker 10: The next 10 years than you've made, than your family's
- 39:04Speaker 10: made in the last 400.
- 39:06Speaker 1: So, if I'm understanding this correctly, and this is why
- 39:08Speaker 1: I love these segments, because when we have a billionaire
- 39:10Speaker 1: on to tell people how to think like a billionaire
- 39:13Speaker 1: and not think, you know, in the circumstances they're in,
- 39:15Speaker 1: when homebuyers or people with cash, you know, who are thinking,
- 39:18Speaker 1: I really wanted to buy a single-family home, and they're like,
- 39:21Speaker 1: look at these rates. This is really bad for me.
- 39:23Speaker 1: You're sitting here saying, stop thinking like you're buying a
- 39:25Speaker 1: single family home. Think like an entrepreneur and look for
- 39:28Speaker 1: the opportunities for buying things outside of the single family home.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Maybe rent a little longer and take that money you've
- 39:35Speaker 1: been saving and look at buying at least an equity
- 39:37Speaker 1: share in an apartment building with a group of folks.
- 39:40Speaker 1: That's what you're telling people to do right now. Stop
- 39:42Speaker 1: being reactionary, reacting to the market, instead getting ahead of
- 39:46Speaker 1: the market and find ways to make money regardless of
- 39:48Speaker 1: where interest rates are.
- 39:49Speaker 6: Yeah, now your audience is going to say, well, you know,
- 39:51Speaker 6: who can do that? I don't have enough money. OK, but,
- 39:53Speaker 6: you know. You want to buy a car, you want
- 39:56Speaker 6: to buy the car dealership. If you buy the car dealership,
- 39:58Speaker 6: if you'd actually get an education how.
- 39:59Speaker 10: To buy the car dealership, you never have to buy
- 40:01Speaker 10: another car in your life. What I'm suggesting to people,
- 40:04Speaker 10: I started with no money. OK, literally three thousand bucks,
- 40:07Speaker 10: but but a tremendous amount of desire to be successful
- 40:11Speaker 10: and have have my financial life fixed. And I studied
- 40:14Speaker 10: real estate for three years. And right now, this cycle,
- 40:17Speaker 10: it was late 1990s, there was a cycle. 2008 was
- 40:22Speaker 10: the next cycle. That was 18 years. Here we are
- 40:24Speaker 10: 18 years later. It's game time, man. You don't need
- 40:29Speaker 10: to wait till Sunday or Thursday night football. This is
- 40:32Speaker 10: game time for middle-class America to make more wealth in
- 40:36Speaker 10: the next decade than your family has made in the
- 40:38Speaker 10: last 400 years.
- 40:40Speaker 1: And it's all about investing in the right thing and
- 40:43Speaker 1: what you're saying, to be clear. Now, if somebody says, OK, Grant,
- 40:46Speaker 1: that sounds great. How do I go buy a fraction interest?
- 40:49Speaker 1: I can't afford a whole apartment building. How can I
- 40:52Speaker 1: buy a fractionary interest in an apartment building where I
- 40:55Speaker 1: can make that wealth that you're talking about?
- 40:57Speaker 6: You can't do it if the first thing you do
- 40:58Speaker 6: is throw in the towel and say, I can't do that.
- 41:00Speaker 10: So like I can't even talk to somebody that immediately
- 41:03Speaker 10: throws the towel in. OK, this is the easiest debt
- 41:06Speaker 10: you will ever get is the kind of loans I'm
- 41:10Speaker 10: talking This is easier to get a loan on a
- 41:12Speaker 10: 200 unit apartment complex than it is.
- 41:15Speaker 5: A $ 400, 000 house.
- 41:19Speaker 10: Unfortunately, nobody knows about it because all this information has
- 41:22Speaker 10: been kept private to the big institutions. And I'm showing
- 41:26Speaker 10: people how I did this. I've done this without big banks, David.
- 41:29Speaker 10: I've done it by learning how they do it. I
- 41:32Speaker 10: mimicked what they were doing. I put the strategy they
- 41:36Speaker 10: were using in place. I raised money from friends, family,
- 41:39Speaker 10: and on social media, which is actually legal today. I've
- 41:42Speaker 10: raised $ 2 billion from friends, family, customers, and employees. And
- 41:47Speaker 10: I go out and buy large institutional quality real estate
- 41:50Speaker 10: that institutions have to sell, by the way. They have
- 41:53Speaker 10: to sell their assets. because they have to report their profits.
- 41:58Speaker 10: And they're in trouble right now. It's like in 2008,
- 42:04Speaker 10: the stripper went and bought four houses. In 2020, the
- 42:10Speaker 10: institution went and bought 20,000 units. And they both basically
- 42:15Speaker 10: did the same thing, okay? They over leveraged and took
- 42:19Speaker 10: on too much debt. And that's why I said this
- 42:22Speaker 10: is biblical proportions.
- 42:26Speaker 1: I love it.
- 42:27Speaker 6: It's bigger than 2008.
- 42:29Speaker 1: I love it. And I love that advice. I'm sure
- 42:32Speaker 1: people are going to have lots of questions. And I'm
- 42:34Speaker 1: sure these strategies are, I know this isn't like a,
- 42:36Speaker 1: this isn't a sales pitch. You come on to give
- 42:37Speaker 1: great advice to the audience. This isn't a sponsored segment.
- 42:40Speaker 1: I'm legitimately asking this question. If people want to learn
- 42:43Speaker 1: these strategies, I'm assuming you've packaged this up, right? So
- 42:46Speaker 1: they can go and find it.
- 42:48Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm not trying to sell anybody anything. I'm telling you,
- 42:50Speaker 10: I will try to sell the American public this. If
- 42:53Speaker 10: you keep just simply waiting for 40 acres.
- 42:59Speaker 6: And a mule, okay? Which is basically what a single
- 43:02Speaker 6: family home is. That's all you're ever gonna get.
- 43:07Speaker 7: Lever up.
- 43:07Speaker 10: Nobody ever got rich buying a single-family home ever in
- 43:10Speaker 10: the history of the world. Warren Buffett owned one house.
- 43:12Speaker 10: Steve Jobs owned one house. Elon Musk doesn't own a home.
- 43:16Speaker 10: The richest people in the world don't want homes. They
- 43:18Speaker 10: want investments that cash flow, that depreciate, and that live
- 43:22Speaker 10: for long, long periods of time.
- 43:23Speaker 6: And right now, Americans have this one moment in time.
- 43:26Speaker 10: This window is going to open and close literally in
- 43:29Speaker 10: the next three years.
- 43:31Speaker 6: It'll be shut.
- 43:32Speaker 10: And either Americans are going to buy this, David Pollack
- 43:36Speaker 10: and your people are going to buy it, Grant Cardone
- 43:38Speaker 10: and his family is going to buy it, or the
- 43:39Speaker 10: institutions are just going to keep loading up and owning
- 43:42Speaker 10: all of America.
- 43:43Speaker 6: Because they just recycle these assets amongst one another.
- 43:47Speaker 10: And I have figured out a way to crack the
- 43:49Speaker 10: code and buy from the Blackstones and the Starwoods, the Camdens,
- 43:53Speaker 10: the Avalons, the MetLife, the New York. These are trillion-dollar
- 43:56Speaker 10: companies that I'm doing deals with, and I'm proof that
- 43:59Speaker 10: anyone can do this.
- 44:01Speaker 1: I love it. It's hope. It's hope. And why I
- 44:03Speaker 1: love these segments so much, Grant, is because if you
- 44:06Speaker 1: turn on the news, all you're going to hear is
- 44:07Speaker 1: doom and gloom. Interest rates go up. I mean, I
- 44:09Speaker 1: even said it in my monologue. My assumption was rates
- 44:11Speaker 1: are going to go up. It's going to crush everybody.
- 44:13Speaker 6: I almost killed myself in your monologue.
- 44:15Speaker 2: What's that?
- 44:16Speaker 6: I almost killed myself.
- 44:18Speaker 1: So that's the thing. It's about changing the mentality. And
- 44:21Speaker 1: I went into this segment thinking interest rates are going
- 44:23Speaker 1: to go up. This is terrible for America. And then
- 44:26Speaker 1: you come on and say, guys, you're not looking at
- 44:28Speaker 1: it this right way. Flip the table over and find
- 44:30Speaker 1: the opportunities underneath it. Grant Cardone, I love the Cardone
- 44:33Speaker 1: zones on Tuesdays. I can't wait to talk to you
- 44:36Speaker 1: next Tuesday. And we'll talk more about the opportunities for
- 44:38Speaker 1: all America. Thank you so much for being here.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Thanks, David.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Still ahead, the rapper Macklemore. He appears to hate everything
- 44:48Speaker 1: about America, except it's free speech protections. More on him
- 44:52Speaker 1: getting kicked off a tour for the things that came
- 44:55Speaker 1: out of his mouth. That's coming up next.

- 45:41Speaker 1: The rapper, Macklemore, you remember him? The thrift shop guy?
- 45:46Speaker 1: I'm not going to sing it for you if you don't. Well,
- 45:49Speaker 1: he just got kicked off of Ed Sheeran's stadium tour.
- 45:54Speaker 6: Gone.
- 45:56Speaker 1: And right now, of course, he's going to every platform
- 45:58Speaker 1: he can find to cry about it. Casted as the victim,
- 46:02Speaker 1: poor Macklemore. Wrapping himself in the flag of free speech
- 46:07Speaker 1: and artistic courage. Now, here's the story. Macklemore, he was
- 46:13Speaker 1: the opening act on Ed Sheeran's American tour. And at
- 46:16Speaker 1: the first shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, he
- 46:20Speaker 1: decided to turn his opening set into a political rally,
- 46:23Speaker 1: of course, chanting, free Palestine, over and over, wearing one
- 46:28Speaker 1: of them little scarves and performing a protest anthem while
- 46:33Speaker 1: footage from the war in Gaza played on the giant
- 46:36Speaker 1: screens behind him. Now, it didn't go over well.
- 46:39Speaker 6: Look.
- 46:40Speaker 8: I've been trying to figure out a way to say
- 46:41Speaker 8: this all day. One of the reasons why I wanted
- 46:44Speaker 8: to come on this tour was because I wanted to
- 46:47Speaker 8: stand up here on stages and stadiums across America and
- 46:53Speaker 8: say two words that are very near and dear to
- 46:57Speaker 8: my heart, free Palestine.
- 47:03Speaker 1: That is not why you're there on the tour. You're
- 47:05Speaker 1: supposed to perform, perform. Nobody cares about your politics, Macklemore.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Because politics are the thrift shop. Now, pro-Israel groups launched petitions.
- 47:18Speaker 1: Stadium owners, including Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium, said,
- 47:22Speaker 1: not in my building. And just like that, Macklemore was
- 47:25Speaker 1: off the tour. This isn't the first time Macklemore has
- 47:29Speaker 1: been involved in controversy. This is a guy who had
- 47:32Speaker 1: another show just last year, grabbed a microphone and told
- 47:36Speaker 1: a crowd, and I'm going to clean it up for
- 47:38Speaker 1: you for television, two other words, F America. That's right.
- 47:45Speaker 1: Free Palestine, but F America. That's Macklemore. Well, Robert Kraft,
- 47:50Speaker 1: he's not having an explaining. His decision, he pointed to
- 47:53Speaker 1: what he called his broader history of anti-Semitic rhetoric, including
- 47:57Speaker 1: a costume years ago, apparently, that a lot of people
- 48:00Speaker 1: found pretty grotesque. Not a country that he says to F.
- 48:05Speaker 1: He wants to hide behind his constitutional protections? We'll see
- 48:10Speaker 1: what Hamas thinks about your ability to speak freely. But now,
- 48:16Speaker 1: save your sympathy, because there are conservative artists in this
- 48:20Speaker 1: country who have been quietly blacklisted for years, frozen out,
- 48:23Speaker 1: dropped by their labels, uninvited from shows, canceled, not for
- 48:27Speaker 1: saying F America, not for saying free Palestine, but for
- 48:30Speaker 1: loving this country or even backing President Trump. They don't
- 48:35Speaker 1: get sympathetic press tours. They don't get headlines. They don't
- 48:38Speaker 1: go to social media and cry about it. My next
- 48:41Speaker 1: guest is somebody they've tried to cancel, but they can't.
- 48:44Speaker 1: A genuinely talented singer who loves America, and she's paid
- 48:48Speaker 1: a professional price for it. And she knows exactly what
- 48:51Speaker 1: this industry does to people who won't toe its line.
- 48:53Speaker 1: I'm honored to be joined by Billboard charting artist Joy Vila.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Welcome back. Dave Pollack, Prime Time. Hello.
- 49:01Speaker 4: Listen, I know what Ed Sheeran was thinking when he
- 49:03Speaker 4: saw Macklemore. He said, darling, I don't want anti-Semitism on
- 49:10Speaker 4: my tour. That's what he was probably singing because he
- 49:13Speaker 4: must have been absolutely shocked because Ed Sheeran is notoriously
- 49:18Speaker 4: not political, right?
- 49:19Speaker 6: I don't think he.
- 49:20Speaker 4: one political thing.
- 49:20Speaker 7: He's a singer.
- 49:21Speaker 6: He's a songwriter.
- 49:22Speaker 7: He's loved by many.
- 49:24Speaker 4: He's probably like Michael Jordan. You know, he probably thinks
- 49:27Speaker 4: Republicans buy my music too. So why tick anybody off?
- 49:31Speaker 2: Right.
- 49:32Speaker 4: But Macklemore, Macklemore, who hasn't had a hit song since
- 49:36Speaker 4: 2014's Thrift Shop, right? Or was that 2007? Anyways, it's
- 49:41Speaker 4: been so long that we don't even know when that
- 49:43Speaker 4: last album came out that was a hit. He's 42.
- 49:47Speaker 4: You think he would have learned lessons by now to
- 49:49Speaker 4: respect other cultures. But in 2014, not only was that
- 49:54Speaker 4: look grotesque. I mean, if you pull up the pictures,
- 49:56Speaker 4: if anybody at home looks at those pictures, he denied
- 49:59Speaker 4: that it was an anti-Semitic. but yet it had a
- 50:03Speaker 4: black bowl cut, straight black hair, a big suit, and
- 50:07Speaker 4: a huge fake nose. He roamed around stage performing in
- 50:10Speaker 4: 2014 saying, oh, yeah, it was not an anti-Semitic reference.
- 50:15Speaker 4: I mean, he obviously looked like the very grotesque version
- 50:19Speaker 4: of what the Nazis portrayed for Jewish people. And here
- 50:23Speaker 4: he is, one love, gay rights, and now it's Palestine. Okay, Macklemore,
- 50:28Speaker 4: I think the truth is you only like certain types
- 50:31Speaker 4: of people.
- 50:31Speaker 6: You don't like America.
- 50:32Speaker 4: You don't like Jews. You probably don't even like Black people,
- 50:36Speaker 4: even though you stole their music being a rapper.
- 50:38Speaker 6: Let's be real.
- 50:39Speaker 4: You're just the same as all these Hollywood Democrats, an
- 50:42Speaker 4: inside racist. But when the cameras are rolling, you love everybody.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and that's, you know, the heart of all
- 50:50Speaker 1: of this, and it's such a good point you make,
- 50:52Speaker 1: the heart of all of this is it's not about Palestine,
- 50:54Speaker 1: it's not about the Jews, it's not about any of
- 50:56Speaker 1: these things, it's not about America. The reality is he's
- 51:00Speaker 1: either completely indoctrinated by it or an intentional spokesman for it.
- 51:06Speaker 1: this separatist socialist movement that just wants to reframe America
- 51:11Speaker 1: as a place that people should hate. And whatever cause
- 51:13Speaker 1: they can adopt that seemingly hates America, well, that's their friend.
- 51:17Speaker 1: An enemy of my enemy is my friend. And he's
- 51:19Speaker 1: just a mouthpiece for it, right?
- 51:21Speaker 4: And meanwhile, profiting off of America. You know, if you
- 51:24Speaker 4: hate America so much, listen, America has its issues. Our
- 51:27Speaker 4: country is not perfect, but it's trying to be a
- 51:29Speaker 4: more perfect nation, right? We have had a tumultuous past
- 51:33Speaker 4: like many other countries.
- 51:35Speaker 6: We're new.
- 51:35Speaker 4: We're 250 years old. We're doing our best to move forward.
- 51:39Speaker 4: And I feel like we've moved a lot forward. And
- 51:42Speaker 4: I love this country. This is the country I was
- 51:44Speaker 4: born in. My parents come from immigrants. My family is immigrants.
- 51:48Speaker 4: But half of my family is Black American, brought here
- 51:51Speaker 4: by no fault of their own, right, if you trace
- 51:53Speaker 4: down slavery. And even though that my Black family loves America,
- 51:57Speaker 4: my Italian-Argentinian family loves America, I love America because this
- 52:01Speaker 4: is my home And you can slightly criticize something, but
- 52:05Speaker 4: to demean it and say, down with America. Meanwhile, you're
- 52:08Speaker 4: making all the money from America. Meanwhile, you're born here.
- 52:11Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, him getting kicked off of
- 52:16Speaker 4: Ed Sheeran's tour. is the consequences of his actions. Meanwhile,
- 52:20Speaker 4: somebody like me or somebody like Kaya Jones of the
- 52:23Speaker 4: Pussycat Dolls or any artists who are publicly outspoken for Jesus,
- 52:28Speaker 4: for America, for decency, we're not nude, we're not cursing,
- 52:33Speaker 4: we're not waving gay flags all day, all everywhere. We
- 52:36Speaker 4: love the president, we love America. We don't get invited
- 52:40Speaker 4: to these tours. We get kicked out of places. But
- 52:43Speaker 4: here he is, the consequence of his actions, you know, divisive.
- 52:47Speaker 4: And he's going to complain and say, well, this was
- 52:49Speaker 4: the best tour. He said, oh, this is the best
- 52:51Speaker 4: tour I've ever been in because I'm standing up for freedom. Bro,
- 52:54Speaker 4: take a seat and make an album that people will
- 52:56Speaker 4: actually listen to.
- 52:57Speaker 1: That's exactly right. It's the victim mentality and blame everyone
- 53:01Speaker 1: else but themselves. Joy Vila, I love having you on
