Grant Cardone goes 10x MAGA at Trump Rally [FACT CHECK] NYC
FULL TRANSCRIPT
wow we need to fact check what Grant
Cardone just said at the Madison Square
Gardens New York City event with Donald
Trump first of all I'm wondering how
much Cardone has donated to Donald Trump
to get the opportunity to make the
speech but I will say he gave a powerful
speech he said everything he should have
said and he invigorated his base which
is perfect it's useful for Donald Trump
and I think it was powerful Cardone has
interviewed Donald Trump before and
endorsed him in previous elections so
what has happened in this particular
speech that was correct and what was not
exactly correct and why does it matter
well I think it matters because the
differences are useful to understand so
let's get right into it first things
first Gran Cardone says that blue cities
are more expensive he says everything
from food housing rent are more
expensive and therefore Democrats make
things bad but it's worth noting that
there are two types of blue cities now
again both of them are blue cities but
there are really desirable blue cities
and then there are undesirable blue
cities and it's unclear whether that's
because of politics since you get the
problems in both or cities for some
reason just more blue because there are
some cities that are more expensive like
Santa Barbara Hartford Connecticut
Honolulu Boston Santa Rosa San Diego
Miami and these technically vote blue
and they are more expensive but they
also attract a lot of people because
they have a lot of jobs they create a
lot of gross domestic product and they
tend to have overall wealthier people
living in the cities it doesn't mean
everybody is wealthy it just means for
some reason people go to these cities
and people don't go to the cities
necessarily because of the politics but
when they are there they might end up
putting up with some of the nimbyism the
not in my backyard ISM or maybe
contributing to it or putting up with
the city litigation blocks that make it
hard for you to actually build new
housing which does drive up prices in
these sort of cities but you also have
the same problem in some of the more
dangerous blue cities in fact Cardone
suggests that all blue cities are more
dangerous but it's really just some of
the blue cities that are more dangerous
so these wealthier cities that I talked
about none of them show up on the list
of the most dangerous cities in the
country most dangerous cities in the
country are going to be your Detroit
Memphis uh Birmingham Baltimore St Louis
Kansas City Cleveland Little Rock
Milwaukee and Stockton those are your
top 10 most dangerous and none of those
are your top 10 most expensive so I
don't know that you have a really clear
correlation here because on one hand
cardone's trying to say the most
expensive also have the most crime but
that's not true the most expensive are
not the most crime ridden the least
expensive are the most crime ridden and
the most expensive are not the most
crime ridden and they both happen to be
blue so I'm not really sure what to make
of that argument I I don't know if
that's a compliment to the Dems or the
Republicans so I'm just going to give
this one to to Cardone because I'm not
really sure what to make of it but I'm
going to give a little bit of an opinion
on it and then we'll get into some that
are a little bit more clear when it
comes to differences in these cities
it's important to know that
what attracts people to cities can be
very different some cities attract
people because they are
cheap some cities attract people because
they have really high-paying jobs and
the people are qualified for those
jobs that doesn't mean anybody any
individual went to those cities because
they wanted to vote blue it also doesn't
mean that they went there to vote blue
they might damn well be a Republican and
just un fortunately have a job that push
them into the city for their case
because maybe they totally disagree with
the liberal politics or maybe they're
liberal and they're like cool I feel at
home I don't know I'm not imparting an
opinion just saying there is a
difference there that Cardone doesn't
hit on and he does link most expensive
to most crime and it's actually the
exact opposite it's the least expensive
are associated with the most crime they
just both happen to be liberal okay so
with that out of the way let's go to
some that are a little bit more clear
Cardone talks about uh kamla Harris's
and Tim Walls plans on adding 87,000
employees to the IRS and how these tax
policies don't add
up okay let's clear this up this is very
very old news Cardone Joe Biden passed
the inflation reduction act in 2022 the
IRS has been directed by Janet Yellen
via the treasury Department to increase
tax taxation collection efforts on those
making over
$400,000 now Cardone says they want to
audit all of you pointing at the
audience why do you need 87,000 agents
for 800 billionaires that's like 1,000
IRS agents per billionaire that's crazy
it doesn't make
sense yeah it doesn't make sense because
you're saying the wrong thing Grant
Cardon there are over 3.8 million
households in America that earn more
than $400,000 per year that actually
works out to just one additional IRS
agent per 43 families making over
$400,000 a year now I'm not a shill for
more Taxation and more IRS agents but I
am here to say that a this is a Biden
policy which yes of course Republicans
are going to try to link kamla Harris to
this and Kam Harris probably supports it
anyway so maybe that's fair uh but
number two this is old news and number
three at least the stated intention is
for those making over 400,000 and when
you look at the numbers the way I've
described them it makes sense now could
they be lying to us of course but on
this one I'm going to say cardone's
wrong on this one next one uh Grant
Cardone says that she passed the
inflation reduction act and promised us
three trillion trillion dollars worth of
inflation reduction and we got more
inflation
instead and she says she's going to
build more homes but she's never built a
home in her life
okay well she probably hasn't worked at
McDonald's either but I'm not sure that
working at McDonald's or building a
house really matters but let's just put
that one aside for a moment because that
one can get very politically charged
let's assume neither of those matter
let's just consider what analysts are
saying when we give credit where credit
is due we can look at Goldman Sachs who
says that the inflation reduction act
which authorizes over $300 billion in
spending which will like be interpreted
to cause over $1.3 trillion in spending
through loose interpretations will very
likely create inflation at first however
later in the decade it will likely be
deflationary so as a result of this
Grant Cardone is correct the inflation
reduction act actually creates inflation
however in the future it will create
deflation which Cardone did not mention
but that doesn't make him wrong it does
create inflation at first when you spend
on green infrastructure structure or new
manufacturing you're spending more money
without getting the result of that new
manufacturing capacity yet and when that
capacity comes online that's when you
start to see the deflationary effects
unfortunately those will probably come
at a time when we're already facing
disinflation and deflation in the future
and it could lead to significant wage
deflation and a lot of people getting
hurt in the long
term government policies often have
unintended
effects now so on this one I'm going to
say Cardone you are
correct on illegal immigrants Grant
Cardone says she let in 20 million
homeless illegal
immigrants okay well first of all there
isn't exactly a count on how many people
who have gotten into the country were
homeless versus just illegal a lot of
people come into the country and have a
place to
go that said let's just for a moment
assume that doesn't matter
as of
2020 there were
approximately 11 million
unauthorized illegal immigrants in
America that is actually lower than the
peak of 12.2 million in
2017 now yes part of that is probably
due to some amnesties but this 20
million number that we keep hearing
thrown around is really just a pie in
the sky
estimate and keep in mind that at least
10.2 million illegal immigrants were in
America as of when Trump left office in
2020 so like even if you say 20 were
here today half of them would have been
in here by the end of Trump's term and
yes in that case worst case it would
have doubled but and I'm not saying
that's good but no data reiterates that
data suggests that yes maybe the illegal
immigrant population has grown by maybe
10 to 20% 1 to 2 million and then of
course you've had some amnesties on top
of that so maybe throw in another
million or so and that is significant
I'm not downplaying that there is a
problem but it doesn't appear to be a
full 20 million and that full 20 million
even if it
were didn't come under the back of the
Harris uh well Biden Administration we
have to be careful here because remember
Harris is not the president uh Joe Biden
is the president I know this is still
somewhat hard for all of us to believe
because we all sort of wonder how did
someone like Joe Biden actually lead not
because we think he's a bad person
necessarily but
because we all kind of just want to know
when did he lose his competence it does
make us a little nervous but then again
as I made videos on his Channel about we
knew he was going to get replaced it was
just a matter of when and not if and so
that did end up happening
uh next 20 million small businesses are
breaking even or losing money so this is
an interesting one the small business
administration indicates that there are
currently 33 million small businesses in
America oh on that one Cardone sorry
you're wrong probably on the illegal
immigrant one it this is a pie in the
sky number that gets thrown around I
still haven't seen dad on it maybe
somebody can give me a comment on that
in the in the comments down below with
an actual
citation uh uh account although who
knows maybe the counts are wrong next uh
20 million small businesses are breaking
even or losing a or losing money and
Harris wants to support new businesses
20 million new businesses new small
businesses but not the existing
businesses that are already in existence
and are struggling all right so this is
interesting so if we break this down we
find that there are
33.8 million small businesses in America
according to estimates only about 40% of
the small businesses are profitable well
that works out to about 20 million
businesses that are Break Even or losing
money so Grant Cardone is correct there
are about 20 million small businesses in
America that are barely making it and
are probably at risk of shutting down
KLA Harris wants to increase the small
business deduction from $5,000 to
$50,000 per the IRS this is only
available for initial startup costs not
ongoing costs
this would mean that current existing
businesses would not be eligible for
that increased deduction from 5K to 50K
and therefore this would only benefit
new businesses not existing small
businesses therefore Grant Cardone is
correct about
this unrealized capital gains this is an
interesting one Mark Cuban has argued
that he would be anti- endorsing kamla
Harris if she supported attacks on
unrealized gains He suggests this would
be an economy killer and a really bad
idea
and uh the Harris campaign has not come
out to say that they are
anti the unrealized capital gains tax
which would be very
bad the current proposal would impose a
25% minimum tax on an increase of your
wealth if you have more than $100
million in wealth so in other words if
you have $100 million in wealth and your
stocks go up 10% in one year to 110
million they would send you a bill for
$2.5
million even though you didn't sell any
of those stocks and so a lot of people
think that would lead to a flight of
capital from the United States and the
stock market and a lot of selling before
the law goes into effect and blah blah
blah
blah cardone's right about this the
Harris Administration has not denied
their support for an unrealized capital
gains tax so uh with that said let's add
this up up going in reverse order
unrealized capital gains tax Cardone was
right about that small business tax
Cardone was right about that that's two
out of two on the illegal immigrants I'm
going to say that's an exaggeration so
I'm not going to give that one to him
I'm going to go two out of three on that
on the inflation reduction act causing
inflation and then deflation yeah he's
right about that that's three out of
four he's right
about uh they will audit everyone in
this room no so he's right on three out
of five and then on the blue State issue
I'm going to give him that
one uh because blue States or blue
cities do exhibit principles of both of
those though they don't overlap they
seem to almost be mutually exclusive uh
but anyway I give him three out of six
on that which means he scored a
50% on my fact check anyway if you like
this consider subscribing uh also by the
way if any of those of you are
interested in having exposure to real
estate my real estate a startup is
offering a 5% annual yield paid to you
monthly and a check or ACH deposit
whatever you'd like it comes from rents
and positive cash flow that we have on
over $60 million of real estate already
and if you invest in these convertible
bonds available at house hack.com any
value that our company goes up above
today's valuation you get as well so if
I can 10x like Cardone always says this
stock you get that full 10x and you get
the yield now obviously this video can't
be a solicitation because there's so
much more to talk about and risks and
downsides and everything so make sure to
go to house.com read the PPM watch that
full video over there check that out
house.com thank you so much for watching
and folks we'll see you in the next one
goodbye and good luck why not advertise
these things that you told us here I
feel like nobody else knows about this
we'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes congratulations man you
have done so much people love you people
look up to you Kevin P there financial
