“$80 BILLION In SNAP Benefits” - Taxpayers STUNNED By BILLIONS Wasted On Illegal Immigrants

Government shutdown, okay. I don't know what the number is but 12 times I believe Republicans have tried to Allow the government, you know encourage the government to open up and they've said no I even think one time the conversation came about Finding ways to be paying the you know essential workers and they also turned it down Where where are we at right now with government shutdown? You're on the inside, you know, you haven't probably had a job like this in a while

working with the president, but being on the inside.

Never worked in government.

I've had a whole experience of what, nine months now or something like that.

Being in it?

Yeah. Well, listen, a lot of people just made it seven days. So nine months is a lot of respect. So but going back to it, what what can you tell us with what's going on with the government shutdown right

now? I can tell you that the president really knows what he's doing this time around. I mean, just the piece at which he has every day, I think even as I've seen him throughout the shutdown, he just he really knows what he's doing. And I think this is really hurting the Democrats. Now we'll have to see what the polling did. Have we seen any of the polling data on this?

Yeah, we've covered it over the last couple of weeks. I mean, it was like a week ago, it was very interesting. There was a poll, what was, who do you blame for the shutdown? Congress, Trump, Democrats, Republicans. And when you gave them those four choices,

Congress wins. The Americans believing that it's Congress that's responsible for the shutdown. And then you've got the crowd from the Republican side, Democrat side. So some of the polls are not fair. I mean, who do you think is responsible for the government shutdown, Donald Trump or this dead owl?

Obviously, these are unfair polls that come out and do that. Polls are so often so fake. But the average American believes that it's Congress and you can find Rasmussen polls and a variety, they've, what do we got, Rob? Was there one that you were gonna?

No, I'm still looking.

Well, let me show you this clip. I don't know if you guys saw this one yesterday or not. This is Jake Tapper, you know, talking to another Democrat about the government shutdown being Republicans fault and this Democrat is finally saying, listen man, you're just not telling the truth. So now Jake Tapper is acting like a politician instead of a journalist.

Just watch this clip here.

So nothing's changed. Senators from New Mexico, your home state, vote to open the government so that these snap funds are not at risk?

Let me be clear. The administration is choosing to starve American children with money that they already have

appropriated.

I'm not applauding.

I'm not applauding their tactics.

Yes, it is.

I understand why they're doing it.

They're doing it because they want Medicaid funds restored.

I give the opposite of it.

They're doing it because they want Obamacare premiums to be extended past the end of the year. I understand the reason. I let me just be clear. The money for contingency plans is sitting there. That is why the states

are suing the White House is withholding funds from two to three weeks worth of staff funds.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you may not be a big deal to you, but it is a big deal for the grandparents for for grandparents. It is a big-term solution. It's a short-term.

At the end of the day, people need to be able to feed their families and Saturday is when

those funds run out.

If you feel so strongly, Congresswoman, why not ask the Senate Democrats from New Mexico to vote to open the government so that the SNAP funds.

I am here in the House of Representatives. It is shut down. I am fighting to get the government reopened. I am fighting to get funding put back into SNAP that is already existent and I am fighting for the American people. I am here. But show me a single Republican that is here. Not a single one is here to make sure that Americans are fed on Saturday. That is why I am here.

Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury from New Mexico.

How do you process that? How do you process that, Bill?

Oh, I just, I look at some of these politicians and they just, they do not like our president and it makes them kind of go crazy.

You know what is cool though? I said the complete opposite way, but it's cool when they are forced to hold each other accountable where it's kind of like, hey, you, you have the right to do it. If you're so worried about it, why don't you do something about it? And they're not. And then Speaker Johnson, Rob, if you have Speaker Johnson's.

That really shows that, you know, the president's on the right side in my view here. got somebody like him questioning her and she really doesn't have any good arguments.

Yeah but but MTG comes out and responds to what and this is the conflict so this is the part where I'm curious to know what's really going on here. This is Speaker Johnson Rob if you want to play this.

So I brought you a little visual aid here to just remind everybody what the simple facts are. Four simple facts here. The Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying Republicans are in charge of government. We aren't. Not in the Senate. 60 votes control the Senate, not a bare majority. And so point number one, Democrat votes are required to

open the government. Point number two, they refuse to do it. They have now voted 12 times to keep the government closed. And they'll have another chance today or tomorrow, maybe multiple times this week, and we'll see what they do. Now the third point is very important because they've been trying to confuse the American people. They've tried to say this is a fight about health care or this or that or any other thing. And it's very simple. They put this on paper. They made this their demand in writing in the record of the Senate and it has not changed.

These are just four sub points there under fact number three, but there's many more. But among the things they're demanding, this is what the Democrats in the Senate are demanding to reopen the government. They want to give $200 billion in health benefits to illegal aliens and non-citizens paid for by U.S. taxpayers. That is in their proposal.

They want billions in wasteful programs to be returned to foreign countries. So we stop these things. They want to turn it all back on. They're demanding that we do all that to get the government open for hardworking Americans again. They want to give a half a billion to left-leaning news organizations and they want to cut $50 billion from rural hospitals. We cannot, we will not do those

things and they know that very well.

You can pause it right there. Now a lot of people are saying, wait a minute, that's not what they're doing. This is not about, you know, illegal immigrants getting benefits and all this stuff. But this is what AOC said with Kristen Welker, Tom I don't know if you saw this one or not, Rob if you want to play this I just texted it to you. When asked about whether they want to deny illegal immigrants or undocumented citizens insurance, this is what AOC had to say which contradicts what a lot of Democrats are saying that that's not what they're trying to do.

At least AOC is just putting it out there. Go ahead, Rob.

But can I ask you on this to follow up? Because you said that it is federal law that people, undocumented immigrants, can't get Medicare, Medicaid, the Obamacare subsidies. Do you believe that should be the law, though?

Or do you think undocumented immigrants should have access to feder personally that health care is a human right. I believe that every person should be able to go to the doctor. But I believe that right now, federal law is the federal law. And that absolutely, you know, that U.S. citizens and people who pay into our programs deserve to be covered by these programs. And I mean, once again, I do believe that the federal laws that we have on the books are appropriate. But if you could choose, do you believe that

that should be changed? Pardon? If you could choose do you believe that the

federal law should be changed? I don't, I believe in a single-payer health care system where if you go in and you need a doctor you can get the medical attention

that you need. But can I ask you... So how do you process that? What's your interpretation on what she said? That's a running for president type of answer.

Yeah.

Like the way that-

Single payer? Well, just like that stance to begin with to say that undocumented immigrants don't have a right to medical insurance. That's not something she would have said in the past. It reminds me of like Newsom trying to go more towards the middle to Europe for 2028. But, you know, the number of what we're potentially either saving or spending on this bill, what they're fighting for is $1.3 trillion.

So you know, the $350 billion that they're fighting for, that was just thrown in, I believe, in the last couple of years. That wasn't even part of what Obama did. And then the trillion for Medicaid cuts, like Medicaid's one of the biggest waste pits of money in human history. So I don't know exactly who we're fighting for with this. A lot of it seems to be potentially undocumented immigrants. So I think that they're trying to throw them

off here with the shutdown because it doesn't seem like they have a substantive base for what they're doing.

Tom.

When you see AOC go on there, I mean, she's campaigning, absolutely campaigning. You know, health care is a human right. That makes her sound, oh, lord it over the rest of us, but who's gonna pay for it? That would be like my daughter saying, dad, I think transportation is a human right.

And then I'm like, okay, where's the budget and who's gonna buy you that car? I mean, that's exactly the crux of it here. It's like healthcare is a human right. Okay, but should 300 million people, the citizens of the United States, come together and put all the money in the hat so that an incredible number of other people can have the human right? That's the point. And what they want

is they want to convert those immigrants to voters and they want to give them things for free so that they have a voting bloc in power. It's very simple. Health care is one of the free things to give them so that they have that. And I thought she was asked a very straight question and she gave a very fluff enough answer. That's what I think. There's nothing to it. And it's like, oh, let's just dump it on, kick the can down the road, Let the American taxpayer pay for it Health care is a human right for you and you and you and you and so wait a minute

The people that live in the house called these 50 United States are being asked for pay for everybody that's coming in the side door

It's like timeout. What is the issue between? Johnson and and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Rob, if you want to put this up there, the tweet I just sent you is, you see this picture between the two of them and if you said this was Mario Nafal, let me read the top. Private GOP call, Rob go back to the other one, I'm 47 buddy, I can't see that stuff. Yeah, zoom in. Okay, Speaker Johnson, Representative Mattis, Private GOP call turned fiery as Speaker Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Greene went head to head over the party's stalled shutdown approach. MTGQ's leadership are wasting their majority by keeping lawmakers home and demanded an

off-ramp from Obamacare subsidies. Johnson defended strategy, insisting Republicans are working around the clock before snapping. How does that help us, Marjorie? Some GOP members sided with Greene, others with Johnson, revealing deep fracturing inside the House majority right now. Go a little bit lower on that video.

I think he is calling on someone. Zoom in a little bit. Speaking of, I don't have any more MTG fan fiction. Okay, play this clip, Rob. Play this clip if you could.

Thank you. Thank you.

What is your reaction to Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says every

day. I did see somebody told me that she accused me of ousting Santos which of course is the exact opposite of the history everyone can go review what happened I opposed his expulsion from Congress I voted against it I advocated to my colleagues not to do that and and you can take George Santos's word for it himself I think right before he submitted to prison he did a very friendly social media post about me and how I'd been such a great friend to him and a help to the guy.

I was trying to reach out to him as I would any colleague who's in a difficult situation. And I'll be frank, I talked to George Santos about redemption and about God's mercy and grace. So look, I don't know what Marjorie's talking about. Corey Mills, I noted a few days ago when I was asked about Corey Mills, I'm aware of the

allegations against him. I'm an attorney, so I'm going to reserve judgment on that, let the legal process play out as I should, as anyone would expect.

What do you think's going on here?

I think you've got, look, in any party you don't necessarily have perfect unity. You look at Christians around the world. You have the Catholics, you have the Protestants, Presbyterians, that all agree on Jesus Christ and agree on core things, but they feel very different about a whole bunch of things. You know, Methodists, no dancing, you know, and there's all these things below it. And I think that's what you're seeing in Republican Party

But I think you're seeing a unity of American conservatism and I believe that there's largely unity behind the president but when MTG and and The speaker are getting into it over George Santos who is now out and it's a settled situation that doesn't help us come together as a group of conservative Republicans and negotiate through the shutdown.

How does, you know, re-litigating or going back over George Santos and what happened with him, does that help us come together on this? They should be coming together and scrumming over exactly what she was talking about. Okay, how are we gonna navigate the Obamacare subsidies now at the end of the year and what

the Democrats are trying to do and hold this thing hostage at the shutdown? How do we come together as a conservative block in support of our president and get that done and set aside these grievances and things they have over stuff? George Santos is settled. He's out. It's done.

He's going to get a book deal. He's sitting on morning talk shows talking about how appreciative he is of the president and that he's out and it's done. How does that help us with the shutdown? I think these things need to be set aside. And let's talk about what is the play we're calling to deal with the Democrats that are intentionally holding this place shut down, intentionally causing the SNAP benefits to be held back, and what is our play call to come together on the Obama subsidies and go

forward the future?

Have you seen the the number on SNAP and the videos that are going viral with everybody talking about I can't believe this. Take a look at this chart by the way. This is a chart, Tom, that shows food stamps by ethnicity. Who's on SNAP and what is their citizenship status? $7.8 billion dollars on a monthly on SNAP. If illegals were removed from SNAP, the cost would reduce 70% is what they're saying. Zoom in a little bit, Rob, take a look at this. Okay,

zoom a little bit. Percentage of US.S. households receiving SNAP benefits, food stamps, bi-ethnicity, Afghan, 46%. Somalia, 42%. Iraqi, 35. Dominican, 34. Caribbean, 28.

Native, 27. Puerto Rican, 27. Cuban, 25. Black, 25. Arab, 24. Cambodian, 23.

Asian, Pacific Islander, Honduras, Armenians made it under 19%, Bangladesh, Moroccan, Mexican 18%. But when you go all the way to the top, what do you notice?

Yeah, they misspelled Minnesota on the second line.

Yeah. Yeah. But when you when you see this number, if illegals are removed, it saves 70% of cost?

There's the proof. There's the proof that the Democrats are bringing people in the side door and giving them a free living on the backs of the rest of Americans or on the backs of our grandchildren who are going to be covering approaching $20 trillion of long-term debt. There it is. There it is. There it is.

There's exhibit A snap benefits that they're screaming about is not for the neighbor down the street. And sure, you'll find one person, put them on the news, do a little video, but 70% of it is illegals that were brought here. A huge trove of that under the Biden administration. And this is part of the free stuff they're trying to ask you to pay for.

American taxpayer, you are being asked to pay for this. You are buying someone else's lunch. They have a free lunch. You cooperate, you pay your taxes, you turn in your 1040 form. You live in America and they are putting the debt

on your grandchildren and they're giving free stuff to people they want to turn into voters. It's that simple.

Do you know, do you know, do you know... Sorry I get upset.

I love it.

No, go ahead. I love that you're emphatic.

Remember how big of the budget the entitlement programs are? I mean this is just snap, this is a small piece of entitlements, but like what's the total number of entitlement spending that goes towards potentially illegal immigrants. Like that's such a drag on productivity. Like over $2.5 trillion going towards things where we're just giving handouts to people. Like talk about a bad return on investment.

I mean, that's a-

I saw multiple videos of people saying, if you guys stop giving me my snap, we're gonna start robbing businesses and we're gonna go on a strike. And this guy reacts to it and say, you're gonna go on a strike? And this guy reacts to it and say, you're going to go on strike for what, for free money you're getting from taxpayers?

What strike? This is a clip here on it as well. Go ahead, Rob.

There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis. And we're saying people deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren't even from this country.

Haitians.

that most of the people getting food stamps from the US government and the US taxpayer are not even Americans. Think about that. And we didn't know about any of this before the government shutdown started, but thanks to Democrats, we can confirm tonight

that millions of Joe Biden illegal aliens, people who crossed the border when Joe was president, are now collecting food stamps from a program funded by hardworking American taxpayers. There are 42 million people.

By the way, Brandon, we can go back to what we talked about a year ago. We covered in great detail on multiple podcasts. Remember when we went this on the plight, what was happening to Medicaid in California. And that hospitals closed because they were going broke because if a gunshot victim, a stabbing victim, or an unconscious person foaming at the mouth in convulsion came to an emergency room in downtown Los Angeles, they got treatment. They didn't sit there and say, well, if you can stop bleeding long enough to reach into

your pocket and give me your insurance card, I'll take care of you here. No, they took care of it. And then the hospitals went to Sacramento and said, Newsom, I need to cover the Medicaid shortfall for all these services I gave to all these people. Like what?

Well, here's the gunshots, the stabbings, the unconscious people, is what I need, and guess what? California was so broke they were unable to do it, and they lost a downtown hospital. So in South Central LA and the plight of it down there, in these African American neighborhoods that are not filled with illegal immigrants,

these are people that are American poor, they lost the hospital down the street that was providing them basic coverage because it went broke on the Medicaid system That's the other part of it states come crying to their senator and congressman Medicaid's killing me here. All these illegals are here I got Medicaid. I got to cover this. Who do you think you think the food stamps in Somalia?

Go look at what's happening to the hospitals in Minnesota and giving services who's paying paying for the Medicaid shortfall in the state of Minnesota? Omar is in Washington getting funds and grants back to the state to cover it. Food Stamps is just where it starts. Now go to hospitalization and healthcare and all the rest of the stuff being given to people

and $40 trillion that can kick down the road and now our grandchildren are gonna pay for it.

Yeah, by the way, you know what the number is? trillion dollars that can kick down the road and now our grandchildren are going to pay for it. Yeah. By the way, you know what the number is, how much we gave to Snap last year? Almost $100 billion. $100 billion towards Snap. And people will sit there and say, well, we gave $2 billion to that guy and we gave $1 billion to this.

You owe $100 billion to Snap. It came out of your pocket. And most of them are not even from here. And you can get rid of 70% of it and say $70 billion of taxpayer money with all this illegal.

And while I don't want to talk about food and stuff like that, I'll say this. With regard to housing, the illegal immigration, this is exactly what I'm talking about in terms of legal immigration. You get all these people coming in the country

and they have to live somewhere, right? You're talking about they have to live somewhere, right? You're talking about they have to eat and they're subsidizing it. I think we have yet to see fully the full effect of illegal immigration on housing.

2026 is around the corner. I am convinced this is going to be a very, very special year, in my opinion. I think we got this other rate cut that's come in. I think we're going to have three more in 2026, give or take, based on what Goldman Sachs and a lot of other people are saying. We may even experience a new person that's running the Fed by June-ish, I think June 26-ish, around that time, that could turn things around the second half of the year.

If the China-US trade deal gets done, it could be an unbelievable day for the stock market. However, all of that stuff going into 2026, what that means to you is nothing if you're not prepared for it going into 2026 with momentum. So having said that, if you don't yet have a plan to write out a great business plan for yourself, your family, your executives, your employees, watch this video, Rob, if you have. This is a video we shot of me going into a car, driving a car that goes 1.9 seconds, 0 to 60, and I also borrowed Vinny's old car to see, what was it, Rob, was it a Prius?

We're testing to see the difference between a Prius on 0 to 60, and then versus the Tesla Plaid. The owner was freaking out, saying, I don't know if you can handle it or not. I said, I've been driving fast cars for a very long time, but I want you to watch this video. Rob, what speed do you have it on? Just one, regular.

Okay, watch this video, folks. Speed matters when it comes down to business.

Go ahead, Rob.

Holy sh...

How fast you grow your business matters. me I have a 2019 Toyota Corolla and I have a model S Tesla Plaid you're gonna see how fast it goes it's absolutely insane one two three this is Vinny's car still haven't hit it come on Corolla ten seconds oh my gosh still got from A to B but it's super slow any of these companies that eventually dominate their competitors their edge isn't always just product, it's speed. This took way too long to go from zero to 60. Here we go, now we're in the plant. Let's see how this does. Zero to 60. Holy sh**! My God, that was amazing! So notice the difference, zero to 60 in the Corolla, nine, 10 seconds, this was less than

two seconds. So at this point, we know speed is critical in business. The question becomes with 2026 around the corner, it'll be here in no time. How prepared are you going to be versus all your competitors? Once a year, I host an event called the Business Planning Workshop where we cover the 12 building blocks on how to write a proper business plan that drives emotion and logic.
