bucket list item for everyone i love the south you folks down there have treated me like an adopted son we walked around that place for probably 12 hours tailgates we didn't even have a tailgate we just like randomly showed up at other people's as they would call us so we couldn't walk like 10 feet it was just amazing to just it reminds you again i put out on twitter this weekend that there is a real world folks and there's a twitter bot army they're not the same thing we probably we probably took a thousand selfies because i got a funny story for you they're just quick there's always like one chuckle head though so i'm walking down the sideline on the field for a little bit because they were nice enough to let us watch the the the eagle flight from the field and i'm walking to this field box on the sideline and everybody's like ah bodgino i'm like hey i'm taking some selfies with people this one dude he must have been the only liberal in auburn that i didn't tell you guys this right he's like a little bit he could probably use some ozempic whatever he starts like running down the stairs i don't know what he was screaming something crazy i i uh i screamed something back which i wish i got that on video uh the dude i don't want anyone to fall hurt themselves as the crazy liberal guy in auburn probably the only one in auburn is running down the stairs with his belly juggling and everything he almost falls on his face and he's got that look you know the look when you're about to fall okay everybody starts laughing at him as he's screaming bodgino yeah he doesn't even get that out of his mouth so everybody's laughing at him poor guy i feel for you i hope you didn't hurt yourself didn't look like he took too bad of a spill but control yourself i know liberals you got an issue with stuff i'm a big believer in free speech throw all the f-bombs you want however when you're doing it running downstairs you may want to pay attention to the next step first definitely not this chuckle head man watching this guy and the look the rage look in his face you know the rage look the liberal rage look oh my gosh i didn't know they had there's like the one liberal in all auburn okay so i got some important stuff to get to i don't do a weekend update too often however you know you guys are my family i feel like you should know what's up thank you to the folks in the south i really do i feel like i missed out there's never been more at home man i told paul i i had to get a place down here in auburn i love it so much so how many times we got to talk about this the art of the deal we have brought this up so many times of course we're talking about greenland an incredible deal liberals of course are trying to play it down it's the same deal as 1951 um it is not the same deal you're morons again you're just upset that trump is racking up w's left and right poverty rate lowest in u.s history crime rate lowest in u.s history murder rate border close jobless rates lowest in modern history gdp protected to be projected to be five percent you're just upset that potus the boss that he's there racking up dubs w's left and right you're just mad about it you're just mad like like uh chucklehead guy who was running down the stairs and almost killed himself you're just upset you're peeing your diapies you're clawing at your face the saliva's coming down your fangs you got the wide open crazy liberal camera and eyes you almost fall down the stairs screaming and yelling like a lunatic you're just got a case of the mads and the sads david brody's good man summed it up on x i mean if you don't believe me believe him we've only discussed this a thousand times leave this up if you could here is the donald trump negotiating tactic how do i know this because if you just read the book the art of the deal from trump who's been doing deals his entire life in real estate and elsewhere he talks about it all the time oh you got your pens libs stake out a maximalist position i want greenland we're gonna take it over that's not his real position it's almost never his real position his real position is probably 50 of that i would like a bigger footprint in greenland with the cooperation of people in greenland and denmark as well we didn't traditionally have a deal also where the people of Greenland were included to the degree they are now. That's the differentiator. Here's David Brody explaining it. The Greenland deal is classic Trump 101. Start with a wild ask. We should own Greenland, i.e., not to use fancy SAT words, a maximalist position that's probably not his real position. Start out there to reset the window on what's negotiable and what's not. Get everybody freaking out, which the media always does, and then negotiate towards what you really want. Thank you, David. And what did he want? This is more of his tweet. A bigger, permanent U.S. security footprint in Greenland and a way to keep China and Russia out. Done. That's the deal. He notes you can hate the style, but this is how Trump deals. Start huge, create leverage, then land the part you actually came for. Holy Moses, how many times. Andrew, you haven't been here as long as these other guys. Justin, seriously, have we not discussed this art of the deal thing? Guy, you've been here at least 20 times with every freaking out. Why do you look so depressed, Guy? Was he okay? That's true. That's just Guy's look. I should say. That's Guy's. He's like, dude, what do you mean? It reminds me of Maverick. Don't give me that look, man. It's the only one I got. This is Guy's look. But he's just happy. What are you talking about? He's sad. He is. Guy's sad. They keep falling for it. Here's the book. Liberals, please read it. Do we have to buy complimentary copies for everyone on the media? I'll do that. Here we go. Guys, just so you know, if you are from the New York, Times, Washington Post, and let's throw in another, let's throw Reuters in there. If you are a legitimate reporter, and you want us to buy you a copy of the art of the deal, spread this on the web, folks, okay? Contact Justin on X from your official verified account, and we will buy you a copy and send it to you. Is that okay? Just to stop, so you don't need as much Xanax and benzodiazepines and Valium. I'm just trying to save people's lives from the inevitable early morning heartache. Every time Donald Trump takes a maximalist position, you freak out. Give me the nitro pills and the baby aspirin. I don't want to see you get dead. I don't. And you're going to get dead because you freak out every time he does this and wins. Here's a clip from Fox news over the weekend on this amazing new deal. Folks, I'm going to explain to you in a second, because I think a lot of context is missing here too. All right. We were kind of joking around a little bit, but. Funny times over serious time. Again, in my prior line of work over the last year, you're briefed in quite often on things that the general public doesn't get. Understandably. It's not like a flex. It's not me. Who cares? It's just true. The president knows things you don't know. I think that's fairly obvious. This is a good explanation. It's, it's, it's not so much classified and obviously it's, it's all, it was on X, but it's a really great video. I'm going to play a Fox clip first, and I'm going to show you some other videos, his short and sweet of why this, is such a momentous deal. And when you see it in video and picture, it'll make sense why Donald Trump was able to do what no president was able to do for decades, which is inking a more significant footprint in Greenland with the people of Greenland on board. Check out this Fox clip on what went down. Sweeping agreement comes after months of negotiations, granting the United States permanent military rights on the strategically placed Arctic Island. It also bars all non NATO countries, like, like Russia and China from establishing military bases there. President Trump declaring victory in this historic deal with Greenland and Denmark, writing in a truth social post that the deal quote, I am pleased to announce the United States of America has entered into an agreement with the kingdom of Denmark and Greenland that gives the United States permanent control over security and all of their needs. And Greenland completely addressing all of our many us concerns. There will be no cost to the United States. We will immediately begin the process of, of developing a large military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland. Additionally, from now on no us adversary can ever have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland or make sensitive investments in Greenland without our express written approval. In July, the president spoke about strategic significance the island offers. Watch Greenland is very important for the United States, but it's not important for Denmark. In fact, we took Greenland and then stupidly we gave it back. We shouldn't have given it back to them because we're the ones that need it. We need it for protection. Of the world, not just the United States. And it's very important. It doesn't help Denmark, but it helps us and it's very important for us. Clinton says in the chat, smart move Denmark. Glad you finally see the threat. It is a smart move. This is one of those rare geopolitical events. And I do mean rare because a lot of geopolitics, world politics is zero sum, meaning what benefits the United States candidly may not benefit Grenada or Canada. This is one of those. This is one of those rare deals where folks, everybody wins. Everybody wins. The people of Greenland have sovereignty. The people of Greenland, if they want to vote for independence later, we still have a deal. We get permanent basing. It doesn't lock out NATO. Matter of fact, it expands our NATO relationship. It only locks out people who want to do bad stuff, China and Russia. This is the rare deal where everybody wins and the media is still bitching and moaning. Somebody said to me this weekend, I'll footnote it if I can. I'll do it in the future if I remember, but they said the media loves their BMWs and I said, BMWs. Bitching, moaning and whining. Do you? A hundred percent. That's all they do. It's okay to say this is a good deal. And we still hate Donald Trump. I don't agree with you. I love the guy. However, however, it's okay to say it's a good deal. We're living in an era folks of hypersonic missiles, hypersonic drones, underwater drones, nuclear weapons. Automated intelligence, an artificial intelligence, potential AGI bot armies everywhere. You think it's important that maybe we secure shipping routes and a quick missile path to the United States from Russia that might where glean or a Greenland would be a strategic element for us. They can stop these threats. It's okay to say that's a good thing. You can stop with the BMWs. You can stop that now. Change your diabetes. Stop the whining and move on. Here's this true social posts by the way, uh, president Trump, I'm not gonna read the whole thing, but I think this is the part the media, again, trying to play it down. It's the same thing as 1951. It's not because they worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland this time to guarantee that the U S will forever have the complete ability to do what's necessary in Greenland to secure and defend the security of Greenland and the United States of America. It's just a momentous deal. Wake up, smell it, kids, smell it. Here's a, uh, a, a, a explainer. It's about a minute, but it's worth your time of why Greenland is so important. Not just for art, uh, for, for, uh, for, for shipping and icebreakers, the development of rare earths. It's also a critical national security location, Greenland because of missile routes from Russia to the United States. Like you can do all these things. Wake up, smell it kids, smell it. Here's a, uh, a, a, a, a explainer. It's about a minute, but it's worth your time of why Greenland is so important, not just for art, uh, for, for, uh, for, for shipping and icebreakers, the development of rare earths. It's also a critical national security location, Greenland, because of missile routes from Russia to the United States. Like you can just look at a map, liberal media people and figure this out. Take a look at this. This is good stuff. Greenland isn't about land. It's about control of the Arctic and space. When Donald Trump revived his push for Greenland, Europe mocked it. They missed the strategy. Greenland sits on the shortest missile route between Russia and North America. That's why the U S runs early warning missile radar. Their Arctic ice is melting by 2035 shipping between Europe and Asia could be 40% faster. Russia already dominates the Northern sea route backed by the world's largest icebreaker fleet, including nuclear powered ships since 2014, Russia has built or reopened. 50 plus Arctic military sites. It's nuclear submarines hide beneath Arctic ice, strengthening second strike capability. China calls itself a near Arctic power. It links the region to its polar silk road, but the decisive battlefield is space early warning and surveillance satellites use polar orbits control. The Arctic means control of missile detection and targeting. The Arctic is the only place where the Arctic can be detected. shipping lanes in the arctic and in the north i don't really get that either uh that doesn't make sense missiles being able to get here quicker over the north paul that doesn't make sense either maybe this picture from alan poirier on x will help you he says in case anyone is wondering what greenland is all about look at this there's even a diagram and it's even got a legend for those people who can't read you can even have this thing have like a google ai or something translated for you whatever use grok i don't care look at all the military bases in the arctic the red ones are the russians the red russian get it okay the blue ones are ours and with the russians have a lot of bases there why do you think they would do that why do you think an enemy of the united states is sworn enemy of the united states the russians that want to see a global rebalancing have all these bases you think it's because there's critical minerals and if they attack us they're going to use those routes i think so you think you could hide a lot of submarines up there for second strike capabilities or first strike capabilities if you're crazy that sounds like what they would do hide them under the ice you can just look at the pictures liberals you don't have to crap your diapers every single time trump opens his mouth please the offer stands i will buy you a copy of the book so you cannot get dead and not have a conniption fit every single time the guy puts out a maximalist position settles for there it is settles for 50 percent and you're not going to be able to buy a copy of the book and gets what he wants when no one else was able to do that oh gosh it's exhausting with these people and of course that wasn't the end this this was a crazy news i can see by the audience we're only 20 minutes in we have 41 000 people here already no i can tell by the audience you're interested in another story too because i am

Good products. Get that inflammation out. Okay. Folks, the media is doing what the media does best. Again, crying victim. Pretending like they've had no role in Donald Trump. Limiting access to the press room, not limiting access to the press. They're making this out like they have some constitutional right, not just to cover the president, which they do, but to cover the president the way they choose, okay? President Trump put out on True Social this morning, The White House is not instituting an assault on the free press, something which I cherish. He does more interviews than everyone. The do matters, right? It's instituting an assault on the fake news, something that's grown like a cancer in our beloved USA. It's corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It's a threat to our national security and must be stopped. Thank you for your attention to this matter, DJ T. Folks, the meltdown went on and on and on this weekend. There is no constitutional right for the media to cover. The president in some specific geographic location they choose at their time. Being invited into the White House press pool is a privilege. You can still cover the president. The president's going to do 1,000 press conferences like he always does. He's going to answer questions. But please stop pretending. If you were, here's my problem with this. I'm going to be straight with you. I am a vigorous advocate. for free speech. I don't know any way to say that. The proof is in the pudding. There is almost nothing I won't do to protect free speech that's legal. I mean, you're not going to threaten people or organize a terror attack. You get the point. I am an enormous advocate for free speech. However, the left has weaponized their platform to cause a serious national security crisis repeatedly over and over from the Russia collusion hoax. They could have started a freaking nuclear war over this thing. They still haven't apologized for it. And they think that they should get special privileges like none of us. You know what you want to say? Open up the White House press room to like Nick Shirley, Cam Higbee, let O'Keefe in there, let Laura Loomer in there, like let others in there. What? You're the only ones who can get it right because there's no evidence you ever got it right. So now they're whining because it's about CNN and MSNOW, formerly MSNBC, that they're not allowed the privileges of the press room. But that's not what CNN said back in the day. It's not what CNN said back in the day. It's not what CNN said back back in the day. In 2021, when Potato Head Brian Stelter was griping and moaning about Fox News. Well, Fox News, we should consider the fact that there were news out there, more propaganda. I thought you guys were all principled. You believe in free speech. I do. I do. I'm not suggesting we limit your ability to cover the president. You guys, however, are total frauds. Remember this from 2021 with these fakes and phonies? Check this out. As Fox radicalizes and as it becomes even more and more of a political tool. Zerwick, you wrote a column recently for The Sun about this. Fox should be viewed as a political tool. And that raises a question. Should it be a part of the White House press pool? You know, should it be afforded the privileges that come with news gathering, even though they do have some news reporters at the White House? You're saying they're primarily a political tool show. So should that be reassessed, Zerwick? Listen, I really do. I think it's a discussion we need to have. Look, you're not supporting democracy. You're not supporting the larger values of this culture. They don't even stand up as a opposition party. But there's nothing journalistic in what Lachlan Murdoch said. And you know what? I say, hey, you know what? Let's take them at their word. Let's not let them on the plane. You want to let the proud boys on your plane on your on Air Force One? No, I don't think so. These guys are doing the same thing. Folks, these guys are such frauds. Again, any of you out there on the left or in the Doomer Grifter class to that just hates Trump and counter messages everything he does, at least be honest. These people are not free speech advocates, free press advocates. At all. They're for advocates for the press that puts out the counter messaging to President Trump. Anyone who goes out there and speaks honestly about the matter about President Trump in perspective and tells you the truth about the Greenland deal, you'll do whatever you can to shut us up. So please stop the bull and pretending like you guys are on team free press. You're not. You're not. You want more receipts? We always bring receipts on this show. Look at him. Look at this guy, though. Oh, whoa. I didn't know you could even do is that a is that a guy? I'm joking. Justin goes, of course, like it's a serious. No, I really thought he transformed into Potato Head. I know, they're trying to teach me a lesson because I keep getting suckered by dog videos. I want to, I love dogs, I'm sorry. There's always these AI dog videos, dogs like grabbing a dude. I don't care if they're AI, I love dogs. We can get people to adopt dogs. We'll tell you it's AI, I won't lie to you, but whatever, I don't even care. Justin, Justin was dead serious. Stelter Morrison's the potato hat. I go, is that AI? He goes, yeah, yeah. I say, thanks, bro, thank you. Here, more receipts. Hat tip, the great Mays Moore, one of my favorite ex-accounts. Here's about a minute of Kamala Harris and other Democrats who are now really upset because the press has not been banned. I wouldn't support that at all. The press has not been banned from covering President Trump at all, not even a little bit. They're just having their White House privileges revoked, which is not your constitutional right to cover the president as you see fit, geographically speaking. What are you going to do next? You want access to his bedroom to see what he drinks and eats? Oh, it's a free prize. No, it's not. No one's giving you more access than this guy. Here's Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and the other goofballs. Hate speech, misinformation. What does that mean? The answer is, when Democrats and liberal media people talk about hate speech and misinformation, they mean Republican ideas and Trump ideas they don't like. Hat tip, Mays Moore, check this out. His Twitter account should be suspended. The privilege of using those words in that way should probably be taken from him. There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially, around our democracy. No right given to the people of the United States is absolute, and that includes the right to free speech. We are simply trying to create factually correct information to prevent harm to people. You shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others if you are for providing misinformation out there. The First Amendment is not absolute. It does not protect any single thing anyone says. And what this committee has been trying to do for the last year and a half is to chill the federal government from monitoring what is going on on social media. There are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrent. This is a matter of corporate responsibility. Twitter should be held accountable and shut down that site. It is a matter of safety and corporate accountability. Brothers and sisters, let's please stop with the muh, muh principles. M-U-H, oh, muh principles. This is not about principles. Nobody is making it illegal to cover the president in a negative manner. He just said in his true social post, I cherish the right to a free press. Having a White House badge, folks, I worked for the president. I'm back in the media. I don't have a White House press pass. I don't, I don't, I don't even think we asked for one. But if we did, I don't have it. Why? This is not my big R God-given right to walk into the White House and cover the president from the press room, the Brady press room. That's not. I can cover him however I like on the show. I can, yeah, didn't we put in for that too? I thought it was a right. They get CNN. CNN's there every day, making up national security threat stories about how the Russians colluded to steal the election with Donald Trump. They made the whole thing up now. Now, unlike these left-wing media goons, and I've got more stories coming up what Obama did. And the media didn't seem to care about that much when Obama went to war with the media. I'm talking about like criminal investigations for reporting. I'll show you the receipts for that in a second. But for those of you out there in the media, Mr. Potato Head and others, who do the principles crap, which you have no principles at all. You wanted to ban Fox News. You complain when they open the new media seat up. I can't believe we're allowing Breitbart in there. Why? They got the Russia story right. You got it wrong. What can't you believe? So you may be saying, well, what do you know about this stuff, about being attacked as a member of the media? Well, I am a member of the media. I'm not a journalist. Don't call me that up. It's an insult. This is a political opinion show. That stunned the media people when I said that, that I have political opinions. That's the show. However, we do facts and receipts. I've actually stood for free speech. And some of you who are new to the show, this is not a boo-hoo victim thing, but I think it's important, seriously. I think it's important we establish bona fides here. 'Cause some of you, again, new to the show, fair enough. You say, well, what the hell do you know? What do you know about free speech? What fights have you ever fought? Okay. You remember the Twitter files? December 9th, 2022. The Twitter files were a set of blacklists before Elon owned Twitter, now X. Twitter used to blacklist people for political wrong-think. In other words, saying things they didn't like. Note in the Fox article, several conservative users, including Jay Bhattacharya, a long-standing opponent of COVID lockdowns, and Fox News' Dan Bongino were named in the files as having been placed on Twitter's secret blacklist. Folks, I knew about this for years. I knew about this for years because I used to see my account. I could see it getting throttled. I could see it. And what were we called? Remember, Justin? Conspiracy theorists by the media. Oh, stop it. You're not being censored. So again, to Brian Steltzman, to any other of my principal's crowd, we actually fought against this stuff. We were warned by YouTube. That's it there? No, that's not it. It goes on. So we were, Twitter went to war with us for speaking freely. So did YouTube. So you had a multi-billion dollar company and a trillion dollar company in YouTube go to war with what has two thumbs and nearly got stomped by these guys, trillions of dollars ago? This guy, until we fought back. Reuters, YouTube permanently bans Fox News host Dan Bongino. Where were the media people complaining then? YouTube suspended one of Bongino's YouTube channels after he posted a video where he questioned the effectiveness of using masks against the coronavirus. I was right. He's like, don't do it. Masks, masks. I said that these surgical masks don't work because they don't. It was the condom that got everyone pregnant. Everyone who wore a mask got sick. I said on my show and they warned me. So again, if you're saying out there and you're new to the show, like, man, what have you ever done to fight for free speech? Gee, I don't know. Twitter went to war. We were like public enemy number one. YouTube sent me an email or something or they called, whatever. They were like, you can't say that stuff. You say it again. You folks, we had something like 900,000 followers on our YouTube account. And you know, talking about money, stupid. However, it's relevant. We lost a lot because I went out, I think on the next show and just started talking about masks again. Here was another one. Remember after the election, 2020? We're warned. Don't you dare talk about potential mail-in ballot fraud. We talked about it anyway. Why? Because we believe in the free press. I'm a member of the media, not a journalist. So what happened? You didn't see Politico defending my right to speak about elections. Didn't Kamala Harris just give a big speech about a stolen election that didn't even happen yet, the midterms? That's okay. Notice Politico doesn't defend me at all and my right to talk about election thievery. Here's their headline on me. Maggie Severns, November, 2020. Dan Bongino leads the MAGA field and stolen election messaging. You wanna talk about my principles? You can take that and roll it in a ball, right? You know where it goes. We lost a fortune on this, standing up for what is right. So I'm not gonna take a lecture from anyone about your free speech principles 'cause none of these clowns and jokers defended me when freaking YouTube, Politico, X, Facebook, when they all came after us, all at the same time. Nobody defended me in the left-wing media. Zero people. And you expect me to turn around, be a sucker, and defend you idiots now, when no one's even telling you you can't cover 'em? You just, you don't have privileges? I don't have either. I'm not allowed in the White House press room. Why do you get the privilege? I was right about masks. I was right about COVID. I was right about the election. I was right about Russia collusion. And by the way, I wasn't served. What did you do? I wasn't served in the government. You don't do squat. Stelter and these goofballs. I didn't hear you condemning Obama when he went to war with the Associated Press and others, half of these media people. You made excuses. It was always an excuse. Well, remember this one from the week? It's conveniently forgotten by all these media folks, Obama's war on AP and elsewhere. Why did the Obama administration spy on the association? Press, the week, January 8th, 2015. Gee, I don't know. Maybe you guys could do some journalism-ing and figure it out. I don't know. We're just asking questions, right? What about this one? When Obama, remember James Rosen worked at Fox? I think he's at Newsmax now. James was doing some reporting on the Obama administration. James Rosen, Fox News reporter, was targeted as a co-conspirator in a spying case. Where was the huge outrage calling for Obama to be impeached and elsewhere? Where was it? The answer is it was nowhere. So please take the principles, roll them in a nice little ball. You ever do that with aluminum foil and just smooth it out? Maybe less painful. Folks, I'm sorry. I have no sympathy for these idiots at all. No sympathy for them at all. If Trump were to put out an edict, say we're banning the First Amendment, yeah, I'd have a problem. He's not going to do that. He said the exact opposite. That's not what happened. Here's one more for you. In case you have any doubt, by the way, at the end of this segment, this isn't about principles. This is about the media wants to create a national security crisis with all their, you know, BS stories. And they want to do it their way on their time. And they don't want any. They don't want any restrictions at all, ever. They just want to be able to do what they want to do. The only thing holding them back are defamation suits at this point. They would lie all day if there wasn't for a court system. Here was David Axelrod back in the day. In case you don't know who David Axelrod is, he is Obama's, like, when Obama talks, it's really David Axelrod doing, like, the puppet routine. David Axelrod is like his right-hand man. Whenever you hear him speak, he's speaking for Obama. Here was Axelrod, again, going after Fox News, propaganda, all this stuff. These people have no principles at all. It's all BS. It's an act. It's a shtick. It's a bad one. Check this out. Your colleague, Anita Dunn, told the New York Times this week that Fox News was undertaking a war against the White House and said the White House would treat Fox the way we would an opponent. The only argument Anita was making is that they're not really a news station if you watch even, it's not just their commentators, but a lot of their news programming, it's really not news. It's pushing a point of view. The bigger thing is that other news organizations like yours ought not to treat them that way. They just said it. They just, that's Obama's right-hand guy. Investigate James Rosen. Investigate the Associated Press. Obama does it. And he's a hero. He's a hero. Donald Trump doesn't do any of that stuff. All he does this weekend, all he does is say, hey, cover us all you want, but you're not getting privileged passes to the White House. That we don't have either. And the media melts down as if Donald Trump is the second coming of Idi Amin. Like, please cut the crap. You said nothing when all this stuff happened to us. Nothing. Zero. So I'm sorry. I don't owe you squat. It's not going to stop you from doing your BS defamatory routine anyway on the president. So what's the difference? All right. I got a segment of red news, blue news coming up. This is a good one. Actually. I like it when I give the guys an idea and they just roll with it. You know, I like to put together the show myself because, you know, it's the stories I care about. And it's not always the stories everyone but everyone else cares about. But they're getting good enough. They're reading my mind. It's a big crowd today. I like that. Man, 46,000. That's nice. Good to see you all. You know what? Summer's wrapping up now. Political season's heating up. I've been seeing, like, the tick up. That's pretty nice. But these guys took this red news, blue news and Justin Bieber. Again, showing you how the media's full of crap. But it's about an important statistic that came out last week. I'll get to it in a second. Hey, ammo squared. Hey, you remember this? The great ammo shortage of 2020? I do. Store shelves were empty. Online inventories disappeared overnight.

Ammo squared.com. Check them out. Okay. Justin took this thing and ran. I have this segment I used to do when I was on NRA TV and elsewhere. You know, red news, blue news. How the exact same story about an item -- whatever. Someone found Clifford the Red Dog. The exact same story. If Trump were to find him, it's covered one way. And if Biden or Obama were to find Clifford the Red Dog in some dramatic rescue, it would be covered different. It'd be like, "Trump costs animal shelter money by rescuing Clifford the Red Dog." And then Biden does it. They're like, "Heroic Joe Biden wakes up from his nap, rescues heroic dog subject of child -- child books that they beloved child hero, Clifford the Red Dog." It's the same thing. So here's our latest red news, Boone, showing you how full of crap these media people are. So first, here's the red news about Donald Trump. In case you missed it last week -- you know, because doomers and gloomers want you to believe there's nothing bad going on -- the U.S. poverty rate has now reached the lowest poverty rate in U.S. history. Can everyone agree? Jasmine, can we agree? Having as few people in poverty as possible is a good thing? Yes. Jasmine's giving me the big thumbs up. So under Donald Trump -- look at the date on the article -- last week, September 15, 2026. It fell to the lowest in U.S. history. But notice how this is, like, couched because it's the Washington Post, and they can't give Trump credit. U.S. poverty rate drops slightly, but experts fear worse ahead. Wait, don't even get to the balloons yet. This is great. This is great. So, folks, just to be clear, it's the lowest poverty rate, the fewest number of poor folks in U.S. history on record right now under Trump. But -- but you got to couch it. You got to couch it, the Washington Post. Experts fear the worst is ahead. Worst ahead. Okay. Now let's go to the blue news. So, of course, this is under the -- this is under the Biden administration. Pandemic aid cuts U.S. poverty to new low in 2021, Census Bureau reports. And they're really glowing, the New York Times, in their coverage. Here's the kicker. The kicker is the poverty rate there was a point higher than it was under Donald Trump. But notice there's like experts fear the apocalypse ahead. You're all going to die, Reverend Cain-style poltergeist. You remember Black Hat guy? He looks like the Quaker oatmeal dude. You're all going to die. Only when it's Trump. It was a point higher. These people are full. They are a full diaper all the time. Diapers full. And it's not number one. I don't want to hear about your principles, okay, goofballs? We have a principle. It's called the Constitution. Nobody's stopping you from covering the president negatively. You're going to do it anyway. All right. And -- and that parlays into my next topic seamlessly, by the way. The media coverage of what's going on in AI has been ridiculous, too. Folks, there are very real concerns. If you are a regular viewer to the show and you miss a topic, you're going to miss it. If you are a regular viewer to the show and you missed any of last week's show, please, I'm begging you on somewhat bended knee because my knees don't work, please watch the shows last week where I feel -- you tell me. I feel like we gave very fair coverage to the current ongoing AI debate. Here are the very real dangers if we screw this up. Here are the upsides if we get it all right. We're probably not going to get it all right. But we're probably not going to get it all wrong either. You listen to the liberal media and the Democrats. They did the circuit this weekend. Can we -- Andrew, for tomorrow, can we put together a little montage of the Democrats on the cable news and broadcast news week about AI? Pritzker, Cory Booker, they were all like, we're all going to die, everything sucks, Terminator 2, I'll be back, whatever. Folks, I want to just be clear with you because I will give you the truth. Please. There are dangers if we screw this up. But J.B. Pritzker, Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, and the other tyrannical goofball chucklehead Democrats, like that goofball almost fell down the stairs. Face on the sky. That's all he got out. They're not saying this because they really believe the AI is a lie. believe the AI apocalypse is tomorrow they're not why are they saying it because folks the ai revolution whether it's in construction construction of computing power whether it's in its ability to solve problems math problems cancer problems medicine problems material science problems assistant quantum development fusion type energy they are terrified that donald trump is going to leave mark write this down folks write it down i'm sorry i don't mean to interrupt my thought but it's really important i stop you and you pay very close attention the democrats only want to stop ai because they're terrified that the last two years of president trump's administration are going to be marked by an explosive amount of economic growth as computing power and artificial intelligence bring us to new highs they're terrified and they feel like history is going to now have if donald trump can fix the ongoing iran crisis and we all recognize we've got a crisis there right if he can fix that if the greenland deal works out as planned then is inked if we reach and he leaves the presidency just hear me out with the lowest poverty rate on record the lowest crime rate on record the lowest murder rate on record a border effectively closed after 50 60 years of people talking about it and he leaves office with gdp growth at five six maybe even seven percent we have not seen since ronald reagan in the boom they are terrified that even the chuckle heads at wikipedia will have to recognize that this guy is probably one of the greatest presidents if not the greatest president modern they're terrified that's the only reason they are griping about ai they don't care about the ai apocalypse at all bank it cash that check they don't want to see this this is one of the few elements i ever put in the show flag it we haven't done a flag in it flag it in the chat that was flag it flag it within i can just see now all these crazies on media matters flag it in the chat red flags in the chat because your boy here is right this is what they're afraid of again last week shows i covered the fact if ai and alignment issues and they don't do the right thing and just start coordinating and you know bot swarms yeah we're gonna be in trouble and i'm really glad donald trump's in trouble and i'm really glad donald trump's in trouble because he's in charge and recognizes that but i want you to look at what's possible tomorrow he sent this over i i i don't put a lot of elements from i usually do my own however this was a great one matter of fact he was so sure i wasn't going to use it i said he that humanoid robot video he goes which one i said the one you sent he goes oh i didn't think you were going to use that it's in my outbox i said well you gotta find it did you find it okay good oh okay that's an array oh he picked it different he didn't even tell me this is what's possible if we can get ai right and we don't make any major screw-ups and they don't want donald trump in charge when this next generation attack explodes and he's on the watch check this out to deploy robots at scale we need to deliver a robot to your home and it has to work right out of the box prior to this we've been running helix autonomously but the data collected has been in each environment the breakthrough is we can generalize environments we've never seen before and handle entirely new household objects wherever they happen to be placed the first task is figure three tidying living room my kids are constantly making a mess at home i have toys scattered everywhere this is a home the robot's never been in before the robot's never seen any of these objects we've made no changes to any of the training all we've done is basically book this book this place ship the robot here and now it's doing real useful work at my house we're doing laundry every single day this task is really difficult for robotics as it requires really precise manipulation with helix 2.5 we're folding towels in a house the robot's never been in with towels it's never seen you just saw helix do three tasks in this home but we didn't just test here we rented 30 homes across the bay area these are homes we never set foot in and we deployed helix 2.5 we saw success in every one of them he wants one day one however i'm reading the chat because you're all part of my family and there are a lot of people in the chat who are like no freaking way let me know in the chat yes yes i will why or yes i want one no i don't i listen i want to hear your opinion this show is for you i can only watch it once the reason we have 47 000 people is because uh 46 999 other than me here i watch my own show on register to make sure that tech is working everything no a lot of people say no they don't want that's there's a lot of that's fine that's cool like that's the thing that is great that you have an opinion this may not be for everyone you may say to yourself ai in my house with some robot that can do like karate on me see that video like the karate guy i'm not digging it okay okay we love karate man in case you miss training places correct everybody loves crying maybe some people don't want that i'm cool with that but let me throw another angle at you and i don't mean to be depressing but you know this show is like a big emotional roller coaster having gone through this myself all right i don't want to get too depressing here but you've just been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer you've got three young kids at home god forbid and i don't use his name in vain you've got three young kids at home the doctor's telling you you maybe have six months but they're working on some problems right now with ai and they may be able to fix it in a few months you interested now maybe the robot's not for you but folks i'm going to tell you something if that's me i'm going to tell you something if that's me i'm going to tell you something if that's me if that's me i want to stay alive no matter what and i'm just going to throw out there as well that people are inherently uncomfortable with every new technology a lot of folks in the chat i understand maybe you're a hard no i don't want i gotta tell you a gee buys one a gee like star wars though uh you know maybe he thinks it's like r2d2 like a benevolent technology c3po speaks like a trillion languages or whatever i don't know i want some robot dude potentially karate man guy walking around my house filming every day and i'm like i don't know i don't know i don't know everything video and everything you know i don't know i don't i don't know i come out of the sauna and i don't want the robot that's not my thing i don't know but everybody said the same thing about tesla auto drive when it started that you know autopilot people like i don't know if i trust it and then like a week later they're shaving in the car they're sitting in the car like conducting meetings and stuff you know they said the same thing after kitty hawk you know with flight i ain't getting on no plane i'm telling and then people fly all over it's gonna take a while all i'm telling the point of this segment isn't to advocate for that company's robot i don't care whatever do your own thing the point is the democrats and we'll play a montage for you tomorrow on the cable news channels and broadcast this weekend talking about ai sucks we got to get rid of it pull the plug right now are only saying that not because they care about any of this they're only saying it because they don't want this economy to win under donald trump that is it cash that check and take it to the bank because there was a tremendous amount of good news this weekend too china folks is a huge concern but i'm going to tell you something you may not hear anywhere else well a lot of conservative uh content creators have brought this up but i've heard it almost nowhere in the left-wing media because they love communism the left-wing media are communists my humble opinion i think people are grossly misjudging and this believe me no one hates communism more than me the chinese communist party is a sworn enemy of the united states period right there i'm just telling you i'm a real politic guy i need to understand the world as it is not as i want it to be people saying well you know we've got to rush to the finish line because china's gonna rush ahead and throw the guardrails out i don't necessarily buy that argument about rushing either because china is one thing china craves more than anything what is it folks in the chat you know where i'm going with this it's control can you imagine an ai in china where you put into chat gpt or whatever show me how to properly organize and take out the chinese communist party china would lose their minds you'd be arrested for even searching it china if they lose control and someone puts in there how do i hack all of china's surveillance cameras and corrupt the ai facial recognition china would lose its mind china has an interest it's not a benevolent interest you got me they are not good nice players who should be beatified in the business they are not if there was an evil empire they're in but they cannot lose control it is in their interest thank you fellas and you're seeing it in this associated press article this is why a lot of the ai stack equities were up this morning u.s proposes an ai incident alert system in talks with china scott bess and our treasury secretary said it's not in china's interest to lose control folks for all the wrong reasons however we don't control china we have some amount of control but we don't control china through our financial system and our threat deterrent system and our nuclear deterrent china loses control it's over for them too so whatever we can do with president trump in charge who is the ultimate negotiator here the ultimate negotiator to get china to align with us on some safety guardrails so the world doesn't go boom then we should take it folks we can't just pretend the problem isn't there and i think the media people are grossly misinterpreting this china is afraid of losing control too and we need to take advantage of that so that we both don't rush to some like zero day exploit that takes out the whole freaking internet and all of a sudden people's bank records disappear you i think the threat if managed correctly will be far outweighed by the benefits now if i may take a point of personal privilege here in the show you know i don't like making the show too much about me because who cares we've got too much going on but folks without being overly dramatic i've lived my life in fear after the cancer thing i just do it's not it's on my mind all the time you know i feel like a lump in my armpit i freak out i rush right i thank god i got a doctor this guy nick he's the best oncologist guy hematologist fantastic i just rolled hey is this so yeah it's okay it's a lipoma or whatever i live my life in fear and i know a lot of you out there with cancer or cancer diagnosis it's active or in remission and i know a lot of you out there with remission like thankfully i am thank you jesus you wake up every day with like a sniffle or clearing your throat you're like oh my gosh do i have throat cancer you freak out about everything because i got kids man i don't i don't want to get dead i think the net present value of this technology is going to not only outweigh but far outweigh the threats if we can keep decent people like the trump administration in charge who have perspective on the matter i want to show you this wall street journal article and by the way i don't have any investment in this company if anything i give the money because i use the product so there's a blood test out there for cancer a gallery makes it's called grail it's up for uh some form of approval by the fda this week i am all for this it's currently not i think it's not i have to pay out of pocket for the test which is fine folks one of the things cancer patients go through and even people in remission is there's this balance between cancer surveillance and the cancer testing act and i want to keep this in context of ai not my personal story but cancer surveillance becomes your life because you're never really cured your body's not really good at detecting mutations so the threat of a cancer popping up is pretty dramatic and frightening the problem is when you're in remission every couple of years or so you're supposed to get like an imaging test a pet or a ct the problem folks is it's a lot of damn radiation and if you get these things every two five or ten years you wind up running a risk from the test itself i probably shouldn't tell you this but i'll tell you that's not a chance i'm willing to take i did a couple and i'm done i use this test and others i use a signatera test as well i'd gladly pay out of pocket i'm not asking anyone else to pay but it gives me a little bit of peace of mind luckily they've been negative but it just gives me a little peace of mind because i just can't take any more radiation i can't i went through radiation treatments i've had what five or six of these pet cts i just can't take it anymore my body can't take it i just don't want it so again a point of personal privilege before you go on tv democrats screaming and bmw and bitching moaning and whining about ai terminator gonna blow everybody up there are people out there suffering from life-threatening diseases there are kids with leukemia who are counting on this to stay alive show some perspective talk about the threat how we're going to mitigate the threat solve the problem just like we did with electricity you didn't randomly just throw electricity in houses after the acdc argument and want to burn the house down do it do it safely do it right leverage your ability to engage in realpolitik with china and stop the bs scare tactics man it's really like freaking beneath you even in the left-wing media and i'm really tired of your bs you guys make me sick out there my principal you don't have any principles cut the crap principles where the hell were you when we were under attack you were nowhere you were celebrating it get that crazy guy out of here even when i
