Small businesses, they're the backbone of the American economy, but getting funding from traditional banks is still an uphill battle.

Of the 36 million small businesses in the U.S., over 70% report needing additional capital every year.

While revenue is at an all-time high for the big banks, they're tightening standards and approving fewer loans than ever, leaving owners stuck with mountains of paperwork.

But if you want to bank rates without the bank delays, check out Cardiff.co slash mark for up to $500,000 in same day funding.

Cardiff is the largest privately held small business lender in the US, having funded over $12 billion since 2004.

Their application takes less than five minutes, no impact on personal credit and approvals happen in minutes with same day funding.

Banks, they try to lock out small businesses.

Cardiff has the key.

Big banks may not want to approve your business loans, but Cardiff does.

If you've been in business for at least a year and you're pulling in 20 grand a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 and same day business funding at cardiff.co slash mark.

Again, cardiff.co slash mark.

Real growth, fast funding, Cardiff, borrow better.

All right, next up, two other problems I'm having understanding is America's relationship to electric vehicles and what I like to call self-driving cars.

These are massive, massive pieces of technology that I don't know where the United States stands and where we stand as consumers, where industry stands and our competition with China.

All important topics that I cannot solve except with the help of one patriotic American, Alex Roy.

general partner at New Industry Venture Capital, co-founder of, Alex, how do you pronounce that?

Autonicast?

You got it.
