All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. I very seriously thought about doing an emergency show. I do them once in a while. We had another tragic incident and attack at Mar-a-Lago. Another, this is like the, I think, the 12th or so incident where lunatics have tried to get into Mar-a-Lago, snuck into Mar-a-Lago, whatever it may be. This is clearly the most targeted president just by the sheer volume and number of attacks we've seen in modern history. Liberals, that's just a fact. You can shut them. You know it's true. And it's because of all of the TDS, which is very real, by the way, based hysteria and hyperbole about this president, fascist, Nazi, Hitler, Hitler, fascist, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Hitler, Hitler, Nazi, Nazi. You did this You did this. You did this. Cut the bullshit. You know you did this. You know it. Every single anti-Trump narrative out there is built for this moment, for building up uncontrollable red-line-level freaking levels of rage so that people go and do things like this. Stop pretending otherwise. Own it. It's you. I really thought about it, but I said to myself, I was in Miami, and I took my daughter to a game this weekend, so I couldn't get back in time.
So forgive me. I do those once in a while. The crew was a weekend off. Andrew and Josh are new. They're like, Wait, we do these shows once in a while? Yes, we do. We're going to have to get you emergency pagers from the '90s. Remember, you used to text people, you used to page them, the beepers, 911. That's what he used to send to them. I may be way too old. These guys are like, What the hell are you even talking about? You remember those Motorola Pagers? Big congrats to the USA hockey team. Man, it was good to see you guys pull that off. 46 6 years to the day of the Miracle on Ice, which is my favorite sports story of all time. Big congratulations. God bless America. Love you guys. Couldn't have been a better representation. Congrats to the women's hockey team, too, for kicking ass. It's amazing how this is probably like... I mean, hockey, I saw a post. Forgive me, I don't know who wrote, You know I hat tip people all the time. I saw a post on Twitter that hockey, and don't kill the messenger. It's not me.
Are we clear on that, Gee? You got it on a record? It's not my opinion. I'm just telling you, I saw on Twitter, maybe it was Bobby Borack from Outkings. He said that hockey is the seventh most popular sport in the United States, and we still won two gold medals. He was talking about football number one, college football, UFC was in there, baseball. Obviously, you got basketball, college basketball, golf, and then hockey. I'm not sure that's accurate or not. It's an opinion. I'm just telling you, it obviously isn't the most popular sport in the United States. It's a great sport. I love it. I love the sheer brutality of it. But we still kicked ass and took names. Of course, no one was more excited than Cash, the FBI director we interviewed last week. Folks, by the way, on a serious note, for those of you who missed it and the liberal media who are melting down, listen, you can have your... I really don't give a shit what you take. I think you can tell now after four weeks back on the air that in the Giving Fs, we give zero about what you I think.
I never see you doing this when any other person, government official, ever goes over to an event like this. And by the way, you may have missed the fact that, and this is probably something they won't tell you, but I will. We have the Olympics coming up out in LA. It's a big deal. And the security plan, we are a really deep part of. So just maybe it's a good idea to go over there and get best practices and talk to folks. I'm not telling you it was the only reason. There were other meetings as well. But the media melting down about him being invited into the locker room and chugging a brewsky. Whatever, man. I don't really give a shit. You can care all you want. I just don't care. Doesn't matter to me one bit. Chug a beer all you want. The dude's a human being. He likes hockey. He likes the United States. Get the fuck over it. Okay? Gee, I'm waiting for a line. He's waiting for a connection. He's like, And those who play hockey, Gee, correctly, they prefer to be very lean, right? He was saying, I see I had to do it for you.
I had to do it for you. That was good, though, right? You're going to play hockey and sports. It helps to be lean. Folks, the only way to lose weight is not to inject yourself once a week. Nope, not anymore. Here's the reality. Weight loss injections work because they help control blood sugar and shut down appetite. So you eat less. That's the mechanism. There's really no mystery to it. I've got a solution for you if you're not into injections because I use it. I dropped some LPs. Folks, you know it. You can just look at the old videos. I was like 230 or so. I think I peaked out at 238 pounds. And listen, I wasn't digging it. My knees, I needed knee replacement. I couldn't handle all the weight anymore. I never really mind it. I said to Miles over a break house or physician. Hey, you got something? He's like, Yeah, we got this product Lean. Me and Paula take it now. L-e-a-n. It replicates the benefits of weight loss injections without the needles. Lean was formulated by doctors to support healthy blood sugar and help reduce the spikes and crashes that drive nonstop snacking cringing and lead to people being overweight.
It's really that simple, but Lean goes a step further. It helps your body turn fat into energy so you burn it instead of storing it. No prescriptions, no needles. Really, really easy to use. Paula absolutely loves it. Folks, I'm very selective with sponsors on the show. Go to brickhausnutrition. Com/dan and use promo code dan to get 20% off. Take the mirror test. You don't have to believe me. Try the product, take a picture two, three weeks later, and then you'll know the mirror doesn't lie. Go to brickhousnutrition. Com/dan. Use promo code dan. Pick up Lean, L-E-A, and today drop those unmodded pounds. These statements of products have not been evaluated by the FDA.

That may be, Gee, the latest bell we have ever rung on the show. Correct? That is pretty late, seven minutes and 27 seconds into the show. Oh, yeah, it's true. Weekend Up. Yes, you're correct. We had the weekend. I haven't done a weekend up there. Not much to talk about on the weekend out.
Took my daughter to a basketball game. She loves basketball. We were down in Miami. I love Miami. By the way, I love Miami. If you are a conservative and you want to move to a cool city, come to Miami. If you are a liberal, Andrew, correct? Miami's closed, you're actually not allowed in. There's passport control at the border. If you come from a liberal state, you will be asked a series of questions on the spot. If those questions are not answered correctly, you will not be allowed to finalize any real estate deal or hotel transaction. I'm I'm just saying. The fact checkers may get me on that one. I'll be hyperbole. However, we're only half kidding. We actually wouldn't mind that. If you are a conservative, Miami is the greatest city on Earth. I'm sorry. It just is. I love it. You can't get bad food down there. Well, one place I got I'll leave them out. Sushi was no good in one place. Gee wanted me to bring up this bruise on my elbow. I didn't think it was a big deal. I was working out this. I didn't get beat up. I could.
I'm old. I'm falling apart. But I trained with these tourniquets, these blood flow restrictors, and the Velcro, and it scratched me a little bit this morning. So don't be like, freaked out. I promise I'm not dying or anything like that. So that's what that is. Gee insisted. I explained it. All right, getting to the serious news. I was strongly considering doing an emergency show because so much What happened this weekend? I woke up. I'm in Miami. I hadn't been out too late. I went to sleep like 11: 00 or so. Get out of the game. I wake up in the morning. My phone is blowing up and they're like, Hey, listen, this thing just happened at Mar-a-Lago. It looks like there was an attempted assassination there. Subject shows up. There's going to be a presser in a few minutes. They obviously got wind of it, the media folks. So my phone was blowing up. They said, Can you do a phone interview? Because I couldn't get in front of a camera. I wasn't in my studio or anywhere near him. I said, Yeah, sure. So I was learning the details as they came in. I did an appearance on Fox, spent about 20 minutes with Rachel and the Weekend crew over there.
And this is what happened. This is the Sheriff of Palm Beach County, Bradshaw, Sheriff Bradshaw, who I know pretty well. Very good guy. Here he is in a very brief press conference talking about this subject. He has since been eliminated by secret service in the Palm Beach County Sheriff's office. Apparently, there were two agents and a deputy. Subject tries to enter the Northgate, has a shotgun and a gas can. Looks like one of those red standard gas cans is told to drop the shotgun, does not. Here's what happened. Here's Sheriff Bradshaw. Check this out, my commentary. At 1: 30 this morning, the security detail detected that a individual had made his way into the inner perimeter of Mar-a-Lago. A deputy and two secret service agents on the detail went to that area to investigate. They confronted a white male that was carried a gas can and a shotgun. He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with him, at which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position. At that point in time, the deputy and the two secret Service agents fired their weapons and neutralized the threat.
He is deceased at the scene. I'll give you a picture of the shotgun and the gas can to have with you. Okay, now that I've had a day to take in the inputs and the information, because whenever you're commenting on television, it's just the way it is. There's obviously a fair amount of speculation because you're getting the facts as they come in. Some of the inputs are going to be wrong, some of them are going to change later. Initially, some reporting was the north side when in fact it was the North Gate. Those are not the same thing. The North Gate actually faces the water. It doesn't actually face the North Side. So there were a couple of things that came in that I'm not going to say not accurate. They just probably were framed wrong. And so it's good to have now a good, decent body of information to be able to give you some points you need going forward. Number one, there have been a significant Second number of security upgrades, the specifics of which I will obviously not get into at Mar-a-Lago. Secret Service Director Sean Curran was the SAC, the special agent in charge of President Trump's former detail, before he was President again, between '45 and '47.
He is on record just going at it with people in the Secret Service under prior Biden era leadership over the security footprint at Mar-a-Lago, saying, Guys, we need more. That's just a fact. And they've got the receipts to back it up. He said, We need to redo this security plan. There There have been something like, what is it, WPEC, the local station just had an article up. There have been something like 12 incidents in Mar-a-Lago just over the past few years. He is now Sean Curran, the director. He's the director of secret. So now runs the whole place. So he is intimately familiar with the security plan at Mar-a-Lago. There have been tremendous enhancements. I'm not even going to touch on what they are because I think we all agree, fair enough in the chat, it's nobody's business, and we don't want to give anyone ideas. Don't try to get in there because you're probably going to wind up getting dead. And that's what happened to this person. Now, on that front, I was asked a question on the air. It was a good one by Charlie this weekend on Fox. He was asking if there are different rules for the secret service when it comes to use of force for everyone else.
And the answer is no. The general template for use of force against the subject are pretty much the same throughout local state, tribal, territorial, anywhere in the continental or political control of the United States, noncontinental, it doesn't matter. Under the control of the government of the United States, you're going to have roughly the same use of forces. It's very simply this, you law enforcement officers out there have I've heard this a thousand times. If there is a reasonable belief that you, as the agent, tribal officer, state police officer, NYPD officer, doesn't matter. If you have a reasonable belief that what this subject is doing is going to cause serious physical injury or death to you or someone else, you are entitled to use force to stop that person. Now, I know the liberal media, shoot to kill. I don't they shoot him in the legs. Please shut up liberal media douche canoes. You sound like the idiots you are. Listen to Dan, okay? Talking about myself in the third person, Bob Dolsta. Dan's been there. I have been a cop. I've been a secret service agent and manage the FBI. You don't have to like it.
It's just true. I don't need to give you this CV. It's just a fact. I've seen it. I've taught it. Was an instructor in the academy. This is how it works. You are, by use of force guidelines, as the agents and deputies who shot this guy, as Sheriff Bradshaw indicated, they said he lift and we'll see. I mean, obviously, there'll be probably body cam and other video that will all come out in the investigation. But they're saying the subject raised the shotgun. Does anyone in the chat believe that you would not reasonably believe there was a threat to you of serious physical injury or death if someone's pointing a shotgun at you? Yes or no? Okay, thank you. So we can just get that out of the way. The use of force thing is done. I guess listening to these people, well, why don't you shoot them in the legs? Because you're not shooting to kill anyone. They don't train to shoot to kill. They train to shoot to stop. A lot of people die when you shoot someone to stop them because the most effective tactical way to stop someone engaging in an action that's going to cause serious physical injury or death is to shoot at the biggest target, which is what?
Center mass, which is this. Oh, my gosh. Explaining this over and over to a bunch of 18-year-old D-bags at the New York Times, you've never had a freaking job, Why don't you shoot them in the legs? Is exhausting. The fact of the matter is, when you shoot the biggest target to stop center mass, there are vital organs, and many times, tragically, people die. That's how it works. But it was a good question. No, the rules are used to force rules, it's a fair question. I think people think that the Secret Service, when protecting the President and others, have special rules. No, that's not the case at all. I've tried to explain that multiple times. Okay, so that's point one I wanted to get out of it. Well, point two, as security enhancements enhancements over at Mar-a-Lago. I've been dramatic. Do not F around over there. I hate the, I don't want to... It's overused, but you are going to find out, and it's going to be tragic. Don't get dead. You go there and do this, you're not going to leave, okay? Second, raise shotgun use of force if everything pans out in the investigation appears at this point, it's Monday, Bonjino rule.
We've let the story settle 24 hours before forming any final opinions, and we'll let the inputs come in. It appears to be a legitimate use of force. Third, I saw some commentary, and I'm not bashing other commentators, folks. I hate when that happens to me, especially in the early stages. You say something on the air, an hour later, someone comes out and says, Hey, here's a new piece of information. Everybody's I can't believe it. Oh, man, shut up already. So I hate doing that. I'm not doing it to this guy. I'm not going to say it. But I saw a piece out there that, wow, something must be up here because the FBI is taking over the investigation. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad you tuned into this show. I've been on both sides of that fence, Secret Service and FBI. That is not unusual at all. I'm not telling you something unusual will not come up. It's Monday. It just happened yesterday. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying the FBI being there taking over is in no way unusual at all. Please don't buy any of that. That's not true. Here is what happens.
These are the facts. Look them up if you don't believe me. When there is a security breach that results in some use of force in a crime scene at these sites that involve Secret Service protection, the Secret Service does not investigate itself, because if there's a security failure, there are people in government, obviously, who designed this system, are afraid the Secret Service would to cover it up. So they don't investigate themselves. The Secret Service holds the crime scene until the FBI shows up and then transfers it, and they have a piece of paper documenting it called an MOU, a Memorandum of Understanding, signed by both parties. There is no dispute. This happens every single time. There's nothing unusual about that. I don't want you to read into that at all because it's not true. If something interesting later pops up or that may happen, it's early, it's Monday. But don't read into that as evidence of anything unusual at all. That happens every time. Memorandum of understanding sign. They transfer it over. The Secret Service designates a crime scene agent. They hand it over to the FBI. The FBI's evidence response team was on the site like that because they have teams all over the place: West Palm, Fort pierce, Miami.
Okay, another point I wanted to bring up about this, now that we've had an entire day to look into this, what the hell was the purpose of the gas can? Now, the subject is now dead because he tried to test the security of Mar-a-Lago. Do not do that. You will wind up the same way. Why did he have a gas can? I don't know. I was asked, when I don't know, I don't know. Did he watch some movie and think he was going to throw the gas can in the sky and shoot it with the shotgun? It was going to explode like you see in the old Duke's a Hazard things or whatever? I have no idea. Criminals are generally not smart. The average IQ of a criminal is probably 95 or less. They're not small. Who knows why he did? Was he trying to light the place on fire with one gas can? I don't know. I think nobody noticed. But a gas can and a standard-length shotgun are not particularly easy to conceal. So it's not really that tactically effective of a way to engage in a potential assassination plot. It doesn't mean it wasn't one.
Obviously, he showed up at Mar-a-Lago knowing everybody knows who Mar-a-Lago is for a reason. He didn't show up at Lago Ammar Five blocks away. There's a Lago Ammar. No, I'm just making up, but you get the point. This guy obviously showed up at Mar-a-Lago for a reason. Now you're going to see in the investigation afterwards, you're going to see a look into all the social media exploitation teams going in there, interviews with friends and family, just trying to determine, was this, again, a loan radicalized actor or not, whether accomplices, whether or not. Folks, here's another point I want to bring up, too. I know, again, Director Curran is personally invested in the security plan at Mar-a-Lago. He's personally looked at it, overseen it. I've said that a couple of times. You get the point. But we do have to keep open to the idea, to be fair here, if we're going to cover it the right way, was there a potential security failure? I don't know. At the early stages, it looks like it ran as it was supposed to run. A guy tries to get in. Remember, the club is still open. I'm not at 1: 30 in the morning, obviously, when this happened.
However, but the club Mar-a-Lago is not just the residence of President Trump when he's down south. There are still people who work there. There are members now. This was late at night, so it's different. That's why I said he would stick out. If it's not nine o'clock on a Saturday. However, if there was a security failure, they'll know. And I found in my time in the Secret Service, they're pretty open about that. I mean, that's why you have tent at arrivals now, where the President pulls into a tent or underground. They used to do it out in the open. And then Reagan got shot outside of the Hinkley Hilton, and then we never did that again. So if, and I'm not suggesting that, you'll see some changes going forward. This is a lot. But again, the media coverage on this on Fox and Newsmax was pretty good. Elsewhere was just insane. Like, subject shot more like... You may want to mention he had a shotgun in a gas can. It's relevant. No? But again, not easily concealable. Here's the S RBC of the FBI, special agent in charge of the Miami office, Skiles. Here is Brett Skiles talking about some other information they're going to need from people around.
I'll tell you, it's fairly obvious why he's asking for this, but how modern crime scenes, you almost have to build the crime in reverse. It had a lot to do with another case we worked. It was pretty high profile. It's still going on. But you got to build the crime scene almost in reverse. Imagine the subject walking in reverse because you know where the crime happened. Now you have to walk backwards and find out this network of security cameras which are everywhere and put together what actually happened. Check this out. Brett Skiles. I'm the Special Agent Charge for the FBI's Miami Field Office. First of all, I'd like to thank the Secret Service and Palm Beach Sheriff's office for their quick response in this matter in a close collaboration. Since this area of the shooting was under Secret Service protection at the time, the FBI is assisting the investigation. Currently, our evidence response team is processing the scene, collecting evidence, and we'll continue to work the scene for as long as it takes. One thing I would ask the public is if you live in the area of the shooting, please check your exterior cameras for last night, early this morning.
If you see anything that looks suspicious or out of place, please contact us at 1-800. Call FBI or contact the West Palm Beach Sheriff's office. Thank you. So there's Brett giving an update. Why is he doing that? I don't want to sound like hello, Captain obvious. It's not some big dramatic, crazy insight. He's obviously saying that because what happens is we know where the crime happens, so you to build this thing almost like a diamond, the point being where the crime happened, and then you expand out. You expand out. We used to call them motorcade attacks, like the deadly diamond. You know the departure point, President leaves the airport, you know the endpoint. The endpoint is he's going to arrive at the UN. So you got to imagine like a deadly diamond. Those two points are your most dangerous spots because everyone in the public knows. Presidents flying to New York to go to the UN. The diamond is the in between, where there's so many Different ways to get there. You're going to enter into New York City somewhere via Hilo. You're going to cross the tribur, you're going to via Hilo, you're going to cross the triburro, you're going to come in to JFK, you're going to come in to LaGuardia, you're going to come in at Teterborough, whatever it may be.
The deadly diamond. So you have to look at a crime scene the same way with the diamond cut in half. You know the point of the diamond is where the crime happened. But now you have this network of streets, ring cameras, license plate readers, police cameras. You have to figure out which roads did he come in? Did he get out of an Uber? Did he drive? In this case, it appears he drove. Did he leave a hotel room? What did he check in under? Is he meeting with anyone in the hotel room? Because you can't just assume the subject was working alone. I have no information. Otherwise, at this point, it is early. It is Monday. Don't be first. Be right. But the FBI in this investigation is obviously going to consider the fact that was someone else involved here. Now, we'd be remiss if we did not bring up because it's being reported by everyone that the subject appears at this early stage. I saw it at Daily Mail, which you're going to be after some of their reporting. But TMZ and others, there's apparently some text out there where the subject seemed obsessed with the Epstein files.
Folks, I've said to you over and over again, I get it. I understand how important this case is. It's one of the first things I focused on when I got in there. You've already seen the emails, literally day one. People can bullshit you all they want. There's a whole crew of people. There's a cottage industry around bullshitters out there trying to take down the administration over this. However, hysteria about the case and not telling people the truth is clearly not helping. You are free to have an opinion about whatever you like. Love me, hate me, fine. You don't have to watch the show. It's okay. But stirring up people to the point of rage where they show up with a fucking gas can and a shotgun to obviously kill people is probably not a good idea. Can we agree? Fair, open, transparent discourse about the case is what America is all about. But my God, this is... I wasn't going to go, but I am going to go here. I don't talk about my own situation a lot, security-wise, because nobody gives a shit. Why would you care? I don't mean you don't care. I just mean whatever, man.
Don't cry for me, Argentina That thing. Then get out of the public spotlight. That's the way I look at it. I'm just telling you, we get a lot of this stuff, too. It's driving people to do crazy things. I'll leave that there, okay? Because I got a lot more to get to. But on this line, people showing up in Mar-a-Lago, people in Las Vegas. You may have forgotten that one, people in Butler, people in Palm Beach. I'm telling you, I started the secret I was in Secret Service in 1999. I started as an agent June 21st. Sorry, I'm getting a holding. June 21st, '99. I was a Secret Service agent through 9/11. I left in 2011. It was a couple months shy of 12 years on the job. I was an instructor in our academy, was a presidential protective division detail. Why am I giving you the who gives a shit? It matters here. Ladies and gentlemen, I started under President Clinton Biden, worked with President Bush, worked with President Obama, and worked, at least, with the FBI and the President Trump. Listen to me. I've never seen anything like this. I'm only 51. I have not been alive forever.
I'm not Lestat from interview with a vampire. Dude's like 700 years old or whatever. That's not me. However, in my 51 years on the planet, of which about 46 or 47, I can actually remember absent childhood amnesia. I have never, ever seen anything like this. I can guarantee if you were a sound mind and body in my chat, you haven't either. When I say this, I mean a president just constantly under attack. I've never seen anything like it in my life. And it's about time we asked ourselves why. I think you all know the answer. You have an entire side of the aisle and their media apparatchiks, these agit prop assholes who just cannot stop with the Hitler, fascist, Nazi, racist, racist, fascist, Hitler, Nazi, Hitler. It just never, ever stops. You see these philosophical questions all the time. If you had a gun and could kill baby Hitler, what would you do? This is what these guys are thinking. They're making a comparison to Hitler because the whole media ecosystem is telling them it's true. We played a whole bunch of cuts last week. And then you combine it with just insane coverage and then doing Humors and everyone else.
I don't understand. If this guy really is a fascist... Here, I'm going to talk about this in a little bit. I've been on a roll here with this one. But President Trump and the administration, no doubt about it, they lose at the Supreme Court on Friday on the tariff issue, on the IEPA front only. You saw it, correct? We'll cover it a little bit. If I don't get to it, I'll get to it tomorrow, but I'm going to try. Now, if President Trump was Nazi fascist Hitler, why wouldn't he just say, Screw the Supreme Court, enact the terrorist anyway under IEPA? He was pissed off about it, but the hard reality for you anti-Trump lunatics out there is he didn't. He said, I have other avenues to pursue. Was it 232 and 301 and other items I can use to seek a terrorist? I'm not even a terrorist. I told you that. However, every prediction they made about his terrorist has been wrong. They've been wrong. That's just a fact. Stock market is going going to crash. Economy is going to crash. It's all bullshit. If he's the fascist that you say he is, and people are responding by trying to kill him, why doesn't he actually do fascist stuff?
This is the worst fascist I've ever seen. Donald Trump is very successful in his life. The one thing, Andrew, am I right? The one thing about Donald Trump he has failed at is being a racist fascist. Am I correct? This guy sucks at being a fascist and a racist. And yet people show up and want to kill him. Folks, listen to me. I'm taking off my partisan hat for a minute. I am a partisan in this space, not when I work for the taxpayer, but in this space, I am. This is a partisan show. It's a conservative show. Fact. Said that on Hannity, fucking media dips shits, couldn't believe it. My gosh, Dan Blangino was a political commentator with opinions, and the show made money. That's insane. I'm telling you this, putting my old Hold hat on a minute. My objective hat about threat analysis, having been an agent twice. I've never seen anything like this. The saddest part about this, folks, is you have three years left of his presidency. This is going to happen again. Now, why is it happening? I appreciate the fact that 68,000 people are here listening to me describe this.
But if I don't describe to you the why, you're just getting commentary you can get anywhere else. I have thought in detail and in-depth about why this Particular President. I don't mean to downplay anybody's opinions. Forgive me. However, you may be thinking, Well, he's a Republican. No, that's not it. They've done this to Bush and Romney and others, but never like this. Never like this. Well, it's because he's been successful at enacting Republican policies, and others haven't. Kind of, but no, not really. There are two things going on right now. Two things going on right now that I think are contributing to the most dangerous... Listen to me, media people, take notes. Take notes because this is going to be borne out by the facts when this is all said and done. To the most dangerous atmosphere for a United States President we have ever seen in our lifetime. Fact, put a freaking exclamation point, not even a period after it. Zero doubt in my mind. Most dangerous atmosphere for US President we have ever seen. You better get freaking DHS funded, Democrats. There are two things happening. Number one, it's not funny at all, but I call it the show your ass theory.
You need to understand this with the Democrats. Why this unprecedented rage against against Donald Trump, unprecedented like we've never seen against this President. Donald Trump, unlike other Republican presidents and politicians in the past, is not intimidated by the media. In fact, the opposite thing happens. So I want you to think of it like a release valve. The Democrat lunatics in the past, and it includes the media who hate this guy, they had this release valve. You have a pool, like they have that pressure valve in the You have to get it bleeds the air out. That's what they used to have in the past with George H. W, Reagan, George W. Even candidates like Romney and others when they were running for office. They had this release valve where the liberal media would attack and say, Mitt Romney is a racist or George W. Bush is a racist. And they would respond in a terrified fashion many times, not all the time. And they would change whatever they were doing, knowing the charges were specious and bullshit. And the media would stop at least reporting on that thing because they'd be like, wow, we won.
And they had the release valve. And they'd be like, yes, look at us. It'd be like Napoleon Dynamite, Uncle Rico. Look at me. I used to throw a football. They would brag about it. Does that make sense? I can't explain anymore unless you get that. They had the release valve, call them a racist or a fascist, and they would back down. Donald Trump doesn't only not back down. He gives them the double barrel middle finger and goes even harder. So they just With the rage, there's no release valve for the pool to bleed off the air. So they show their ass. They start responding in an even more hysterical manner. I think Donald Trump has tones of racism in his speech. Then the next thing, when they don't get the response they want. Donald Trump's a hard core racist. Then they don't get the response they want. Donald Trump doubles down. His voting percentage in the Black community goes up. So then what do they do? Donald Trump's a Ku Klux Ku Klux Klan member. Then next, it's like, Donald Trump founded the Ku Klux Klan. Then it's like, Donald Trump's eating babies with his Ku Klux Klan members.
They show their ass a little more every time as a signal to their fellow liberals that they're in on this and they're not backing down either. If you don't understand show your ass theory, none of this will make sense. Show your ass theory is everything. It is why this rage and escalation of hostilities against Donald Trump continues to levels we have never seen, and I don't think we'll see again in the future. He just doesn't respond to their bullshit the way they want, so there's no release valve. The second problem that's leading to this unprecedented threat environment against this president, unprecedented. There is no precedent for this. Number of assassination attempts against this man, his family, and everything else. Probably stuff you don't even hear about. I'm not giving you inside baseball. I'm not in the secret service. I guarantee you the family catches it, too. The second part of this is combine the no-release valve with them escalating the rhetoric because Donald Trump doesn't respond to their prior rhetoric, so they make it crazier and crazier. You have this democratized information environment where people can find, I call them silos of crazy. They'll follow lists on X of people who think like them, and they'll never have their priors challenged.
They'll never... Donald Trump eats babies. If you were to say that in a normal group of people where I live in South Florida, people would be like, Are you fucking crazy, bro? Where did you hear that? Yet when you go and follow your list of lunatics, I'm not a single out ex, but TikTok, Snapchat, elsewhere, and you find these silos of crazy, they're like, not as the eat babies, he put salt on them first and tortures them first. And then he slowly boils them and kills them. And you're like, What do I got to do? I got to go to Mar-a-Lago and get them. Combine silos of crazy with constant ash showing, the Escalation of rhetoric, and Donald Trump not backing down, and then add in the doomers who tell you everything sucks all the time. And why does it surprise you that a bunch of lunatics want to kill this guy? Folks, bookmark this show because what I'm telling you is true. This is going to happen again. Pray to God, capital G, whatever God you pray to, pray to Jesus Christ, this does not happen again, but it is going to. They cannot stop.
There will be five minutes of maybe we should tone down the rhetoric, and there'll be now 10 more weeks of Hitler, fascist, Nazi, Trump. Guaranteed. I'm going to show you what I mean in a second about these silos of crazy, how you just can't talk to people anymore. You can't talk to anyone. They don't want to hear anything. The show is not going down that route ever, ever. That's why I really appreciate you all being here. I know you're here for the truth, and you're damn right we're going to give it to you. Quick break, and I'm going to show you what I mean on the other side, how reason has gone out the window, and It's leading to a political environment here that's getting really dangerous.

Man, it's rough. So when I moved to DC, one of the first thing I asked to have with me was my red light therapy blanket from Bone Charge. Why? Because my joints and sitting You want to know the truth? Sitting in those dress shoes all day rather than sneakers. My knee kept blowing up. If I don't use the red light blanket, I forgot to bring it to Miami this weekend, and my knee was the size of a grapefruit. I'm a big biohacker.

These statements of products have not been evaluated by the FDA. The not intended diagnosed tree cure will prevent any disease or condition. Now, getting back to what I was talking about before, do you see now why I'm so vocal about what's going on with this weird symbiote Blackpill symbiote of liberal media lunatics and doomers out there who have an agenda. I'm not talking about people who demand accountability. I'm not talking about this. You can respond. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about agenda-driven people who are absolutely committed, whether they have someone else in mind for 2028 rather than, say, JD or Rubio or something. They have an agenda, and I promise it's not yours. Whatever Trump or his team does, they bitch and moan about it.
It doesn't matter. Their thing isn't like some things have gone well, some things bad. Here's my take on what's well. Here's my take on what's not well. Their take is everything sucks all the time. I saw that this weekend, this freaking decanoo on Twitter. Everything sucks. I'm a three-time Everything sucks? Really? That's reasonable to you. One, you're probably not a three-time Trump voter. You're probably full of shit. We see this all the time. But this stuff pisses me off because it's not reasonable. You've just feeds into the whole lunatic doomer atmosphere where everybody's like, Oh, my God, life is so awful. Life is so awful. We're the richest country in the world with the most powerful military at the greatest time to be alive. And your president, you elected, if you are a three-time Trump voter, is in the White House racking up wins left and right. Has it been perfect? No, it's politics. He's not a king. I just said that. If he was a king or a fascist, he'd be able to do what he wants. Thankfully, he's not. We live in a Republican. I'm happy about that. I'm proud of that. But in a Republic, in a representative democracy, even the minority party has a say.
You don't get to do whatever you want. Frankly, with a one or two vote majority in the House and a non-filibuster proof Senate majority, meaning you still have to deal with the Democrats, it's freaking amazing he's even managed to do what he's done. So I responded to this tweet. I'm driving down to Miami. I had some time like, I can't read this bullshit anymore. I get tired of it. I posted this in response to the doomers out there. Everything sucks. Has did you ever notice that the same people constantly talk about noticing, never notice all the incredible things happening? Once you notice this pattern, notice, you'll never I don't notice it. These people have an agenda, and it's not yours. I'm not going to go through the whole list. You can read the tweet. I'm at D. Bungino, if you care. But these are just facts. Border crossings, historic low. Gdp growth is strong despite the Democrats' shutdown. There was a blip last quarter, no doubt. But inflation is down dramatically from the Biden highs. Mortgage rates, the lowest they've been in the years. Jobless claims just came in lower than expected. Iran's nuclear threat has been disabled and slowed dramatically.
Maduro is in a prison. You're living in the safest United States in history. Fact, even the New York Times had to acknowledge it today. Murder rate, crime rate. We just locked up a whole shit ton of people. Murder and crime rates, the lowest amount in history. Stock market, hovering around 50,000. Government workforce, down 10%. Red tape, slashed. Multiple international peace deals. We're the dominant leader in oil and gas production again. And your tax rates were just cut as well with the BBB or held low. So, yeah, the doomer crowd and the liberal media wake the F up. And I'll cover this in a New York Times piece tomorrow. It came out today. Every single one of those wins, the bullshit New York Times has an excuse for. I'll cover this article tomorrow because they can't do it. It's hilarious. Yeah, crime rates are down. Not only are they down to historic lows, the drop, percentage drop is also the biggest. Those are not the same thing. And they're like, Well, this was just trending. Oh, yeah, Trump had nothing to do with it. Zero, of course. Inflation, immigration, the same thing. They have an excuse for everything.
The reason I bring this up is to do a healthy, wholesome analysis of where we stand as a party in a country. We have to hold every leader accountable, everyone who worked for them, everyone, me included. But the alternative when you bullshit people and you tell them Trump's a fascist, Nazi, the Ku Klux Klan leader, Grand Wizard or whatever it is, is people show up at Mar-a-Lago, and then you kill any enthusiasm for the Republican Party right now, which has had quite a few successes. We need more. The Save Act, we got to get going on, no doubt. If we lose the midterms, is it really a win for you if we lose to the Democrats? Do you understand what's going to happen? Do you have any idea how crazy this party is right now? The stuff they are talking about is insane. If you missed Friday's show, was it Friday's show with Susan Rice? Susan Rice, the Obama deepstater, basically came out and threatened revenge on everybody in the Trump administration, and I covered it on Friday. This is what you want to lose to, and this is it. How is this a W for anyone?
If you gave a more realistic assessment of the wins versus the losses, maybe voter enthusiasm would be a couple of points higher, which could salvage a few seats here and there. By the way, they're not on this front. A lot of this shit, folks, is not genuine. A lot of it is fake artificial astro Herf bullshit. I'll prove it to you. And by the way, on the noticing front, here's Politico. So Nicki Minaj... And listen, I don't get into celebrities and stuff, whatever. But this article is important. Forget the Nicki Minaj angle of it. Jason Bferman. Bferman. Is that even a real name? Politico. Jason Bferman. Sorry. Nicki Minaj's social media propped up by thousands of bots analysis finds. Well, who did that analysis? Turns out maybe some rival there. But second, it's hilarious how Politico only notices the bot problem when it comes to writing an article about attacking a Trump ally in Nicki Minaj, the rapper. The bot problem, those of you in the chat. Post something about... Just here, do this little test. Post anything about how you... Antisemitism is a huge problem in the country. Just go ahead. Just do it as a test.
Even put test on it and watch the bots. The political will never cover that. You just noticed the bot problem now because you want to attack a Trump supporter? What I'm telling you is most of what you think. I talk to Bungino army folks all the time. You know, if we I had phone conversations. You know what I'm talking about. I chat with these folks, my listeners, all the time because I want to see what's going on. They see it. They know it's bullshit. It's freaking astro-terf. It's all bullshit, I'm telling you. Reality matters, folks. The people we're dealing with are lunatics. And I always bring the receipts to back it up. It is not a W to drop an L to Democrats, ever. There is no scenario on in which that's okay. None. Republicans are not the solution of all your problems. I say it all the time. But Democrats are the cause of all your problems. In an imperfect world, that's the binary choice. We got to deal with it. Here's what I mean. Here's the alternative. You want these lunatics taking over? If you haven't seen this yet, get ready, grab the tea and crumpets, because this is...
You want to talk about loser media clip, potentially of the year, and it's only what, February? I should say, politician clip. Did you hear this clip of Gavin Newsom? He's talking to a largely Black audience. This isn't no fake racist Donald Trump. This sounds like real racist stuff. This is real. Governor of California wants to run for President. Talking to a largely Black audience saying like, Hey, man, I'm really dumb like you guys. I can't read. No, no. Josh Cuntness is more than that. Is it AI or something like that? No, it's real. You want to lose to these people and you think this is a W? Here, listen to yourself. Check this out. I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you. I'm a 960 Sat guy. I'm not trying to offend anyone, trying to act all there if you got 940. But literally a 960 Sat guy. You've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech. This may be the wrong business to be in. No. Your audio is broken if you're listening on Apple. Or Spotify.
I don't even know how to really respond to that. This would ordinarily be the end of the political career of anyone else if they were on any other party affiliation other than Democrat. Talking to a group of Black voters and saying, I'm dumb like you guys or something? Losing to these guys is a W again. How? Folks, seriously, to you for a minute. This is an important clip because there's more here than just poking fun at this moron, okay? This is the basis to any listeners who may be Black or Hispanic or Asian or Jewish or Muslim or any minority group. I want you to understand something. This is the basis of liberal paternalism. Liberals believe what exactly... They are who you think they are, okay? Liberals want to give you a bunch of government money and handouts because they really believe this about you. One, they think they can use it to maintain you on their own little lot, their own little parking lot of voters. But they do it because they actually believe this. This is not a joke to him. He believes this that if you are black, that you can't read like him.
I'm sorry you can't read, Gavin. That sounds like a problem. Hooked on phonics worked for me. Give it a shot, buddy. I don't know. If he has some learning disorder, I feel for you, man. Figure it out. It's a problem. But it's a bigger problem if that's an issue with you impugning an entire race of people by suggesting that, well, I can't read, and I'm not smart, and you're not smart either. You understand this is the essence of liberal paternalism? This is the reason, this specific thing, why they want you under their yoke. Because they think you're too stupid to do things by yourself. They believe this. Losing to these people is never a W, ever. Here's another one of their heroes. So AOC goes over to Munich the security conference, and completely face plants, humiliates herself on a Taiwan question. This is another potential presidential contender on the left, an idol of the left, tip of the spear of liberal progressive ideology. She doesn't know anything, but she thinks you're stupid. Matter of fact, she put up this video. Looks like she's had too many tequilas in this video. Whatever. Have fun. Don't know.
Wasn't with her that night. Just saying, listen to her voice here. And she's like, listen, You think I flubbed it over in Munich? Yeah, you're the morons. They believe this. This is Gavin Newsom 2. 0. If you don't follow them, you're the stupid people. You can't read. You're all idiots. You need people like me, AOC, to take care of you. Check this out. If you think that I don't understand foreign policy because out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exists on Earth. I'm afraid the issue is not my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten adjusted to a President that never thinks before he speaks. By the way, that's not the guys failing to take like, Bino after, Chipotle with rice and beans. That's in the video. Like, there's some cat snoring in the background. Who the hell is that? Why would you even film it? Is that really in there? Okay, that's not a sounder. That's not like guys have an intestinal distress in the studio. She sounds like she's on a weekend bender. Oh, I'm really sorry.
You guys are morons. It didn't understand my, Oh, yeah, answer on Taiwan. These people think she really believes this. If you don't understand her ums and uhs and yeses and can't translate it according to AOCisms, then you're a You want to lose to these people? Here's the dips shit up in New York. By the way, was it Mark Deeson on The Big Show this week in the Fox had the best idea in the world. So Mamdami, the commie mayor up in New York, who again thinks you're a freaking idiot despite never having a real job in his freaking life, this guy, the current mayor of New York, you want to lose to this idiot? They hate voter ID. I know you've seen the story, but I'm going to tell you this decent idea I'm going to be a bit here's this idea to shovel snow up in New York, the show's snowveling, the snow's shoveling. You need ID for that, but to vote, no way. But I'll give you this decent idea to say, Is it pretty smart? Check this out. We're utilizing 33 DSNY vans and 2 DSNY busses to transport shovelers where they're needed, faster.
For those who want to do more to help your neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8: 00 AM and 1: 00 PM tomorrow with your paperwork, which is accessible online at nyc. Gov/snow, and you can get started right away. Just show up with ID, folks. Libs of TikTok. Chia did an amazing job on this. Don't show up with ID to vote If you're a liberal, of course not. We don't want that. But to shovel snow. So Thiesen had this idea. He's like, they should pass a bill called the Mamdami Bill in the house. I'm not for like, ceremonies. He was kidding. But however, it's not the craziest idea. And Tell me what you think about this in the chat. In the Mamdami bill, they should demand that voting measures just marry up the snow shoveling measures up in New York. It's actually not the worst idea, right? You got to bring with ID to shovel snow. Maybe you should bring ID to vote. Just throwing it out there. You are dealing with the other side of an aisle that I'm telling you bases their entire ideology and paternalism around the idea, listen to me, liberals, that you're too freaking stupid to understand anything without them.
We don't treat you that way here. Not in this party. Black, Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, Jewish voters, however you are. Nobody in the conservative movement gives a shit about what religion you practice, the melanin in your skin. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. I think back to that, was it Solana article, whatever it was, that liberal who went to CPAC at one time and was like, I can't believe it. No one was cursing at me or yelling at me. And then you get that conservative guy went to the Roots Convention at a liberal place and was practically thrown out of there. There's no both sides-isms. There's no both sides-ism when it comes to rhetoric against politicians. There's a reason Donald Trump is living in the most dangerous political environment for a president in American history, because of you. There is no both sides. It is just you. You're doing this. That shit isn't welcome here. You come in my chat, start threatening anyone, you're out. We're not having it. The left, you probably get two thumbs up. These people are idiots. I got to throw this. I haven't done a Jennings clip in a couple of days. Scott Jennings, who does amazing work over at CNN.
He's on a panel with that Dunce from Tennessee, that lawmaker who's always creating problems down there. Another one, just humiliating humiliates this guy, just asks him basic questions like, What are you talking about? Just please explain what you're talking about, and we'll have a back and forth. This guy can't do it. Losing to these people is never a W, ever. Watch yourself. We have to abolish ICE. We have to abolish the Customs and Border Patrol in the way they currently exist and replace them with something that actually does the work that we need for them to, which is why we need a Congress that works and that is effective at holding these people in this administration accountable. I'll tell you what the work is not. The work is not killing American citizens in our community. You said the work we need them to do. I'm interested in your opinion. What is the work that we need them to do? Absolutely. The work is not killing American citizens. What is the work we need them to do? Well, first, let's look at what they don't need to do. They don't need to go into communities like Memphis, Tennessee- Do they need to deport illegal aliens?
Where they're currently who are basically terrorizing and traumatizing our communities. What we also need to make sure is that we have elected officials who are creating a pathway of opportunity for people who are currently undocumented. Do we need a federal law enforcement agency to deport illegal aliens, yes or no? We do need a federal law law enforcement agency that deals with immigration that doesn't kill people. To deport illegal aliens, yes or no. What we do also need is laws that make sure that people who are undocumented- Is there a single illegal alien that you would deport? This is what I want you to focus on. Is there one? This is what I want you to focus on. There are a lot of people in this country and in this community, in our communities that have done so much to make them better, and we need to be prioritizing how we create opportunity. So the answer is no. Is this a democratic position for 26? That there are no illegal aliens that should be deported? The democratic position in 26 is that we don't terrorize American citizens. Losing to these people is never a W, ever.
They are morons, but they think you're the moron. This guy is clearly an imbecile. Clearly. Do you notice how the Democrat position is never, I support A, it's just I don't support B? Did you notice that? Think about any issue the Democrats supposedly stand for. It's never for I support anything. It's for I don't support. I don't like Donald Trump's immigration policy. What's yours? I don't know. We just need people to help. Help how? Do you want to actually deport anyone? I don't know. I don't think we should deport good people. I didn't ask you that. Is there anyone you want to deport? I don't think we should support good people. I didn't ask you that. Is there anyone you would deport? Ask them about abortion. Ask them about abortion. They'll always bring up rape and incest. You go, okay, excluding that from them. And say I were to concede that point. I'm not, but say I were to concede that point. Outside of rape and incest, is there any other abortion that should be illegal? Donald Trump's a Nazi. That's the real... They're full of shit. At least we have the balls to put our agenda on the table and ask you to vote for it.
You may not like it. You're not obligated to vote for it, but at least we have the nuts to do it. Folks, we're living in a really dangerous world. Accountability, reasonableness, and logic. If we lose our load star for truth, it's all over. It's over. This happened this weekend, too. Now, I have to, again, be careful of the contours of how I discuss this. But you really don't want border controls? Do you have any idea what we're dealing with south of the border in South and Central America, Mexico, and elsewhere? Folks, these drug cartels, drug cartels have always been dangerous, full stop. However, Having seen what I've seen, CJNG and these other, Jalisco, and these other cartels have access to things cartels did not have in the past. This is not classified information that drones exist, and you have more You have more, and let's just say, efficient communication tools and other things. Cartels had layered upon them technological communications and weaponry tools that make them 10 times more dangerous than they were in the past. This guy, Justin, not Justin from the show, Justin Pearson, whatever from Tennessee, can't answer. Is there anyone you're deporting?
What about CJNG, cartel members who crossed the border? What about them? Defensa, people in Mexican government took out Elmencho, who's the head of CJNG, which is a... Folks, the level of violence with this cartel is extreme. We've seen violence with cartels before. But at this level, given the technological comms tools and weapons, this is an unprecedented threat. There's a soft civil war going on in Mexico right now. There are ways they make money that are not out there. It's not just drugs. These are well-funded paramilitary-type machines. This guy can't... What about just answering that? Well, cartel members shouldn't be allowed in the country. Can you at least answer that? Play that video. This is a scene out of Mexico, evacuations of airports. I mean, folks, I don't want to be dramatic about what's going on, but the country is in serious turmoil right now. You You do not want this here. The technical tools, the surveillance tools, drone technology, and the comms tools they have make this a threat like we've never seen before. Taking out El Mencho, the head was a really big deal. However, one of the things we do have to keep in mind is you'll see other cartels as well who will now try to move in and take advantage.
So that's the thing we're going to have to work with the Mexican government, which is happening on on the intel front. You've seen it. It's been publicly reported to make sure that we don't, say, decapitate CJNG. Then you see other cartels, Mios and others, take over and gain power in those regions. You have to take them out equally or else you just get another one moving in. These are the threats we're dealing with. This is no time for bullshit. This is very real. You'll see this in border towns in Texas, if we lose the next election as they open the border again and they just pile in like they did in four years under Biden. Because, ladies and gentlemen, results matter. Intentions are for you and the Almighty. When it comes to politics, I got to tell you, folks, I like a good speech, but I don't really care about intentions. Produce results. That's what I went there to do. That's what we did. You don't like the results? Fine. There they are. Are. Intentions are bullshit. Results matter. Be transactional. View the world as a spreadsheet. Is it a net present value plus one or not?
The Democrats don't see the world like that. They see the world as purely a world of intentions. This shutdown bullshit right now with DHS is a perfect example. Let me take I'm going to take a quick break, last one, and I'm going to get back to this and show you exactly what I mean. I promise I'm going to tattoo this on your brain. You're going to see how this is all BS with them. Folks, it's 2026, and a lot of us are getting crushed by high interest debt. We're talking 2024, even 28% interest every single month.

And the Trump administration has I introduced them. I put them in that tweet. You can see it for yourself. Someone even asked Grok, Hey, Grok, is this true? Whatever. And they were like, and I think the Grok answer was like, Yeah, but some of this seems to be... It's not opinion. Just look it up. Grok confirmed. The results are there. You just got to see them, but not for the Democrats. The shutdown bullshit is exactly what I'm talking about. They've shut out and closed out DHS funding right now, while the guy DHS has Secret Service underneath it, has all these other brands, ICBP, all of it. The Democrats don't care. They don't give a shit at all. Their last shutdown, would shut down...
Shutdown, you get the point. They dramatize. But people weren't getting paid. The last shutdown shaved a couple of points off the GDP numbers. Here's a Wall Street Journal article. Economic growth slowed in the fourth quarter, hurt by government shutdown. So this is where I talk about, why would you vote for this shit? The Democrats stated their intentions. Remember, intentions versus results. That they were shutting down the government. You remember when this happened, just in the last calendar year, at the end of it, Democrats were shutting down the government because we need more money for Obamacare. That's what they said. That was their stated intention. We're shutting down the government because we need more taxpayer money, i. E. Subsidies for Obamacare. Wait. Jerk Wadz, you guys told us Obamacare was supposed to save money, not cost more. So now you shut down the government to get more money in a program you said would save money, which then costs Americans money by shaving points off GDP. I From what fucking planet does that make sense? I thought Obamacare was supposed to cut costs. Hat tip, the great Maze Mohr, M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R-E. Great follow on X. Missed him when I was gone.
Here's Maze Mohr just quoting Obama, telling you that Obamacare, that now costs a whole lot, was supposed to cost a whole lot less, but now costs a whole lot more. So they shot the government down over it. Check this out. It will actually reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the long term. Reducing the waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid will pay for most of this plan. It will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government. There will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promised don't materialize. Folks, please, please. Everyone in the chat, everyone, this is... Hold, please. Get your friends to jump in or have them watch later at this point. It's an hour and twelve minutes in. I'm just bringing receipts about what the Democrats stated their intentions were versus what actually resulted. Unlike President Trump, who has results, border crossings down, inflation under control, GDP growing despite their shutdown, homicide rates, murder rates, crime rates down, Maduro in prison, CJNG, El Mencho's dead, with support reported from our Intel folks.
Caroline Levit tweeted about it. These are actual results, correct? Correct. Democrat Zero is watching. Is that correct or not? Your own New York Times has acknowledged that those are actual numbers. Border crossings down, inflation down, GDP is growing, crime rates down. All of that's true, right? Mortgage rates down. That's true. Okay, thank you. It's correct. Those are results, right, Dipshitz? So what are your actual results? You just listened to Obama with the eponymously named Obamacare, Affordable Care Act, whatever. Everybody calls it Obamacare. He's proud of it, telling you how it's going to cut costs. The Democrats shut the government down, put up the NBC article. Receipts incoming like a freaking rocket ship, get ready for it. Like when it was Elon, SpaceX thing landing back on the pad. Nbc news. Why Democrats say they won the 43-day government shutdown? Liberal NBC News, Harriet Tori. They did it because of sticker shock as people received notices of, skyrocketing monthly premiums for 2026. Oh, look at that. He even blew it up for you. One more time, quote, NBC news. Democrats say they won the shutdown because of skyrocketing monthly... They're talking about Obamacare. Premiums for 2026.
I thought I don't... They just played the clip of Obamacare saying that this was the opposite. But the opposite is going to happen. Okay, again, life loser Democrats watching the show right now? What part of the receipts I just displayed for you in the cornucopia of receipts do you disagree with? You think with that Obamacare montage is bullshit, like Mace More just made it up? Okay, no, it's real. You think Obamacare premiums and subsidies are necessary because Obamacare is cutting costs? Nbc news is reporting they're skyrocketing. The GDP numbers would have been even better if the Democrats didn't shut down the government. How do we know that? The Wall Street Journal is no pro-Trump outlet. Why Why are they reporting on it? Because the government spending levels have dropped. The government shutdown obviously costed some productivity, transportation being delayed and other things. They show up in the actual receipts, the numbers. Oh, look at this, Jim. I didn't even see this. This is freeopp. Org. This is not part of the show, but look at these guys. Take an initiative. I like that. Even the new guys. Obamacare deductibles have more than doubled. That's What?
Guys, you're making this shit up. Obama said it was going to go down. That doesn't look like it's going down, guys. I think you're making this up. That doesn't look like... That bar graph looks like it's gone up. Folks, intentions, intentions versus results. I live in the world of results. I'm proud of them. Damn proud. Can results always be better? Of course. But at least we're not bullshitting people. We're going to cut costs, and then the results are more costs. This is all they have. They, meaning the Democrats. If we don't give people results and proper inputs to process information so they can vote in November, according to a good solid data set of where we are, you're going to get a bad output, and that's going to be these people back in charge. Newsom. Man, I can't read like you people. Aoc, you think my word salad was bad? You're an idiot. Justin Pearson in Tennessee, should we deport anyone? Let me tell you something about... You want these nut jobs in charge? Other than what are there? Let me ask you this before I just go on to this thing. What results are you proud of during the Biden years that you want back Democrats?
What freaking results are you so proud of that you want those back? 20 million illegals crossing the border, 9% peak inflation. What do you want back? Covid mandates? The Devictions being stopped so landlords lose money? And they wind up... By the way, I'm bringing that up because of the whole tariff ruling. I'll get to that tomorrow. It'll make more sense. I love using clips of just timeless wisdom, because timeless wisdom is the essence of conservatism. The reason we call it the conservative movement is because we want to scrap what doesn't work and conserve timeless principles that do work. A timeless principle of politics is nobody should give a shit about stated intentions. You should analyze what politicians vote on and enact in a Republic according to the results said policies produce. This is not There's nothing crazy about what I just said. If you can't produce results, get out. Here's an old Thomas Sowell clip, and I'll tell you why I'm playing this in a minute. He's talking about when sex education was implemented in schools. I leave that to the family. I don't need someone teaching my kid about... We got it. We'll figure it out in our own time, all right?
We're good. Here's Thomas Sowell talking about, Sex education The liberals were like, Hey, man, this is going to be great. We're going to stop all these STDs and all this stuff. We're going to teach kids about sex. Really? What were the results of that? Stated intentions, but what were the results? They don't have any. Check this out. One of the case of veneral diseases, sex education was introduced on a mass basis in the 1960s, and when the arguments for doing it were, one, to reduce the level of of veneral diseases and of teenage age unwanted pregnancies. And both those things have been going down on their own. And by 1960, the rate of infection for veneral diseases was something like half of what it was in 1950. And then they bring in the sex education, and it turns around and shoots up. Among blacks, the homicide rates among black males declined by 18% in the 1940s, by 22% in the 1950s and then skyrocketed in the 1960s, wiping out all that progress. They had a different view of the world, and their view just did not meet the test of time. I love this man.
I love this man in the most pure way. There's never going to be another like Thomas Sowell. He's not replaceable. Do results matter or not? Yes or no? No, I only care about intentions, even if I get poor and live in a dangerous world. Then I'm sorry, you're an imbecile. Why do I bring up Sowell in this Intentions versus Results segment? Because I saw this clip last week. I wanted to get to it earlier, but a lot going on in the news this weekend. I'm actually glad I'm getting to it today. Here is a trans-democrat lawmaker or advocate in Minnesota. They have access to this same body of information about sex education in schools that you do. The results have been shit. But they want more of it, which makes you wonder, is there real agenda, results like stopping STDs, or is it to sexualize children? You listen for yourself. Ags in many states are very clear about... They're almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content content that could be educational if they are queer. You are a principal, you have LGBT students in your school, and we also know that they're not receiving sex education for queer kids.
We know that prurient interest could be for many people, the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids. Folks, please Please, in the name of all that's holy, and throwing that word around deliberately, please keep these people away from your kids. Please. Please. I don't need my kids being indoctrinated in school under the air quotes intentions, because this isn't what the results they want, that they're trying to prevent STDs. It doesn't do that. The data is there. So you're not doing it for that, despite you telling us those are your intentions. Now they're just being out. They're coming out with a... I think you're in interest. They should be exposed to this. No, they shouldn't, you sickos. No, they should not. Keep these people far away from your kiddos. My kids are all that matters to me, man. I don't know about you. You ever question the existence of God or anything else? Just go to a game with your kids like I was this weekend and watch your daughter look over after her favorite player scores a point, give you a little fist pound with that 13-year-old smile from your daughter.
The existence of God is evident. Protect them. All right. When I put together some of these elements on Friday, I thought this was going to lead the show because it was such a monumental thing that happened last week. Unbelievable, fellows, ladies watching the show, the King, monarch, fascist, Nazi, Hitler guy Donald Trump, who's just taken over the entire government. The administration lost the case, the Supreme Court on Terrorists. You know what happened? Do you guys know what happened afterwards? It's not a trick question. The answer is nothing. Fascist King Donald Trump abided by the Supreme Court rule. Kind of weird, right? Strange, guys? No? Josh, is this guy the worst king you've ever seen? He's terrible at it, isn't he? He's terrible at this fascist king stuff. This Donald Trump, he's amazing. Every time he has the opportunity, fellows, ladies in the chat, am I wrong? Tell me I'm wrong. Every freaking time he has the opportunity to act like a king, he doesn't take it. It's just so weird. Don't buy into a lot of the bullshit about this case, though. He lost the Tariff's case on IEPA Tariff's International Emergency Economic powers. That's a one specific subset of powers the Supreme Court had ruled that.
It's got to be specific, the Delegation Doctrine and other things. Here's John Turley, very short clip. He is an attorney. He does some commentary for Fox, basically explaining what happened. But everybody, Mel Gibson, braveheart style, William Miles, hold on this. I'm going to tell you what's really going on. Stand easy for a second. Check this out. The administration has other tools in its toolbox. It can actually impose tariffs under other statuts. So this night is hardly over for the administration when it comes to tariffs. If the President wants to enact tariffs, this is not the end of the game. He has not enacted and overrode the Supreme Court like the fake fascist monarchy bullshit commentary and enacted IEPA Tariffs under that specific IEPA Act. He is not. He complied with the court because that's what he always does. The guy's the worst fascist I've ever seen. He's a terrible racist, too. Here's the great Molly Hemingway about this in a tweet. She's like, Hey, Brett Kavanaugh points out that even if today's mess of a ruling creates all chaos for previously imposed tariffs, Trump has many other options for imposing terrfs going forward, including 232, 301.
Congress has delegated many of these powers. To tell you, you may see, well, Congress has the exclusive right to tax, but they've delegated through legislation some of these powers to the executive through national security measures embedded andby the way, foreign imposed trade war measures on 232 and 301. The big question now going forward, which I'll leave here because the administration is leaving it up to the courts, is now what happens if you paid the terrorist? Do you get a refund? Cbp has done it in in the past. How does it happen? That's the big question going forward. Again, it's just Monday. Don't be first, be right. I heard Jamieson Greer, the Trade Rep, saying they're going to leave that to the courts to decide what happens. That's the big question now. I want you to remember, though, moving on with this, that, again, you're dealing with the other side of the aisle, that President Trump, they didn't win the case. They abided by the ruling. They'll seek some other revenues, and everybody's moving on. But you notice the Democrats Prat's position is totally changed on this, depending on how the Supreme Court rules. When the Supreme Court rules against President Trump, all of a sudden, the Supreme Court are these Zeus-like gods sitting in Mount Olympus who should never, ever be questioned.
But then when the Supreme Court rules with President Trump on anything, the Supreme Court is a horrible institution. It's failed as its bulwark on constitutionality. This happens all the time. Here, again, all I do is show you receipts, folks. You can formulate your own outputs based on inputs. This is real. This is AOC. They now love the Supreme Court, the Democrats. Oh, this is great. Supreme Court is back. They got the number one finger up in the stands, the Michigan Big House, Supreme Court, we love you. However, when the Supreme Court rules with President Trump, like, man, that's Supreme Court. We should basically disband them or pack the court. They really suck. No. Then he said, Hey, listen, A Go see yourself. Again, we always bring receipts. Check this out. I believe that the Biden administration should ignore this ruling. I think that the courts have the legitimacy, and they rely on the legitimacy of their rulings. What they are currently doing is engaged in an unprecedented and dramatic erosion of the legitimacy of the courts. It is the justices themselves through the deeply partisan and unfounded nature of these rulings that are undermining their own enforcement.
You're saying the Biden administration should ignore this court, but what does that look like? What does that actually mean? I think the interesting thing when it comes to a ruling is that it relies on enforcement, and it is up to the Biden administration to enforce, to choose whether or not to enforce such a ruling. Again, an L to these people is never a W. They don't have any principles based on results. They don't have principles at all. They only have one principle, acquiring and abusing power. If the Supreme Court helps them do that, they're great. If they don't, they suck. I strongly disagree with the Supreme Same court on a number of issues. The John Roberts ruling on Obamacare, the tax ruling, is one of the worst I've ever seen. I just think he's wrong. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand that. But we have to abide by it because we I live in a country we don't always win. I prefer Constitutional Republic over fucking anarchy, pardon my language. Those are your options. The Roberts Court ruling on the census count, I Gosh, I think I lost it on my show on that one.
But that's the way the system works. I wish it worked better. You're going to throw the whole thing out, live in anarchy? Not me. No. The answer is no. We live in an imperfect world full of a lot of bullshit with a lot of failed institutions, and we're not going to get, Oh, did you fix this? Did you fix... Nothing's fixed. It's government. If men were angels, and they are not, nothing is ever fixed. Ever. Here's Elizabeth Warren. Again, they love the Supreme Court, and you should listen to them when they rule against Trump, but when they rule with President Trump, you should completely ignore it, and we should go to full-blown chaotic anarchy. This ain't my position. This is theirs. This is their position, and they said it. Look for yourself. We have a Supreme Court that has basically jumped the guardrails and is out there giving power to the President, saying that the President can commit any act that the President wants, saying that Congress cannot authorize agencies to act. We've got a Supreme Court that is actively undermining our democracy. My view right now is the courts are where we are hanging on to our constitutional structure.
They still have the power to hold everybody else in this country in contempt if they do not follow lawfully issued court orders. Folks, let me be clear about my position because I'm not in the bullshitting you game. A lot of The rulings that have come out of the Supreme Court, the Roberts Court, and other courts have been wrong over time from Dread Scott moving on. We have an extremely imperfect system, but the government is full of, I can't say this enough, at that level, the Supreme Court, principals, deputies, the presidency, speaker of the House, majority leader, minority leader, you are dealing with level 10 decisions. There's a shitty call and a shittier call. That's it. Your options are that or anarchy. President Trump obviously subscribes. By the way, he was very vocal going after the Supreme Court on Friday. He has his right to do that. You don't have to like it, but he didn't disobey the ruling. The Democrats are the total opposite. They're like this, The Supreme Court, we're just going to do what we want. Then when they rule against Trump, well, we love the Supreme Court. Thank God they're there. One side is full of shit, and one side is no both sides-ism.
There is no both sides. Wall Street Journal, again, no big fans of Trump. This is long. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but they had a great piece on this. The tariff ruling leaves plenty of hypocrisy to go around, talking about how the Liberals on the Supreme Court gave the Biden administration Administration, this is really important, folks, time out and listen to this. The liberal justices on the Supreme Court gave the Biden administration extreme latitude in interpreting archaic government regulations laws to do everything from the COVID vaccine to the eviction problem, where they didn't want to evict people. All right? But when it comes to this, all of a sudden, the liberal's You can't have it both ways. Even the executive has this wide latitude to interpret this stuff like Trump did under terrorist, or they don't. The liberals think of it. Here's the other... Put the other screen up. I want to show you what I mean. Alyssa Finley wrote this. She writes, The liberal justices said, Joe Biden's eviction ban could be supported by a 1944 law, listen to this, that authorizes the CDC to take action to stop the spread of diseases via inspection, fumigation, disinfection, and pest extermination?
What does that have to do with evictions? Nothing. Leave that up. The point is, the liberal justice are like, Well, we should give the President wide latitude. Kind of like the latitude President Trump has on the terrace? I'm not I'm telling you right now. I'm just saying be consistent. Here's another one. Liberals on the Supreme Court. With the COVID vaccine mandate, they also said that a law that allows the Department of Labor to issue emergency orders to protect workers from grave danger from exposure to substances or agents gave Joe Biden the power to mandate COVID vaccines? Ladies and gentlemen, one side is full of shit, and one side isn't. Receipts matter. There's nothing in the power of the presidency to impose a COVID vaccine mandate or to ban evictions. I don't mind anybody getting evicted, but I don't live in the world of intentions. If you ban a landlord, anyone in the chat a landlord? Ban evictions. Liberals are like, Yeah, number one foamy finger. Eviction suck. I don't like anybody to die. I don't want anybody to get evicted. I live in a real fucking world, bro. People don't pay rent sometimes. You don't pay rent for six months.
The landlord's got to pay the bills. Oh, he's your ban evictions. What does a landlord do? I don't care about the... Of course you don't. You're not a landlord. You don't give a shit about anything. I don't live in that world. I live in the real world where level 10 decisions exist every day. What's the shit he call? Evicting people. Evicting people sucks. What's the shittier call? Not evicting people, dips. Now, nobody's got an apartment because the landlord goes bankrupt and can't afford to maintain the place, so no one even wants to live there, and then no one's going to build an apartment complex if they can't earn a return on their money. I know that's hard to hear for the economically illiterate, dipshittery class, but this is the real world of level 10 decisions that real people I'll have to make every day. We don't live in your world of intentions, the COVID mandate. Based on a workplace law about dangerous substances, what? Like acids and stuff? What are you What are you talking about? This president has racked up a tremendous number of successes in his first year. There is always room for improvement for everyone.
I don't know if we had, what, 75,000 peak streamers. You can always do 76. If you can do 76, you can do 77. If you do 80, you could do 81. If you can bench 315, you can bench 316. If you watch a piece... By the way, that's pretty impressive. I can't do that. Hegset, benching 315. The Liberals, by the way, they were like, Oh, those are fake weights. Oh, you're full of shit. Fake weights, my ass. But if we don't give people a show like this with a load star in truth about what President Trump is actually doing based on facts and real numbers that are not disputable, we are going to push down, turn out in the midterms. You are going to elect a bunch of lunatics, empowering people like racist Gavin Newsom, Dipshit AOC and others, and this Justin Pearson cat from Tennessee. And you are going to be living in a far different world where you need freaking ID to shovel snow, but not to vote. Those are your choices. Sometimes elections are level 10 decisions, too. It was not a level 10 decision with President Trump. It wasn't shitty. It was a good decision versus a bad one.
But I understand. Listen to I understand in some of your state rep races, state Senate races, some of your federal congressmen and US senators, some of them are not the best. I get it. Some of them are rhinos, some of them are weak. Some of them are just plain Democrats in rhino clothing, in Republican clothing. I get it. Now you have a level 10 decision to make yourself. I'm putting in your lap. The shitty decision is to vote for a rhino. The shittier decision is to vote for a Democrat like this Justin Pearson or these other toolboxes who are going to take away every single thing that has happened this year, impeach this President, open the border, unleash the criminals, defund the police, print more money, mass inflation, shitty GDP. I mean, leaving our foreign enemies to laugh at us as we castrate our freaking military. They're going to try to impeach Hegset, Christie Noem, everyone else. Those are your options. The shitty call or the shittier on it. I wish it weren't so. But the good news, the good news, is there are a lot of good reps out there doing really good things.
That's why you have this just litany of successes that this first term in this first year produced. Border, inflation, crime numbers, mortgage rates, stock market, GDP, homicide rates, all of it. All of it. That was a lot for one day. Folks, I love you all. I appreciate all your support despite the endless bot artificial bullshit. People trying to shut us up.
