especially the manufacturing we're doing here super high tech write it down borders controlled i wrote it down just so you don't forget crime's been crushed and we're building stuff again there you there you go stop complaining man that's a fact-based reason-based analysis of where we are and where we're going and where we're going and where we're going and where we're going and where we're going and where we're going and where we're going and where we are thanks to the trump administration the leadership of president trump and his agenda i was there for it don't tell me it didn't happen reminds me of that star trek movie where the character played by that guy who was in blackhawk down don't say it didn't happen i saw it happen don't tell me it didn't happen borders controlled crime crushed we're building stuff again that's it really simple i it the whining the way and then you're running again not only do you have this this absolutely killer message right now on the political front that again resonates all across the country blue states red states outside of the chop zone this message resonates everywhere you have never seen a year and a half of presidential leadership like you've just seen and all they do is whine oh my god oh my gosh we got no man no you're the problem bro not only that you're running against opponents who cannot distance themselves from a group of socialist freaking lunatics saying stuff that resonates nowhere outside of the chop zone i think we need to abolish the supreme court the presidency ice prisons the military nobody believes this outside of true psychopaths you've been given the finest foil of all time you've been given a lustrous diamond i don't know how to grade diamonds but whatever the top grade is z plus two whatever the hell it is against the darkest background it looks so lustrous and you're complaining that's not shiny enough what the folks i titled the show today when did you change your mind because the democrat message we're running against is do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again do we have to do this again macabre background on this diamond of a set of results those are real those results it's so bad that even democrats who are self-avowed socialists democrats social same thing it doesn't matter commies are running away from their own message no you have i'm giving you some homework here respectfully what i just said you have the results to run on borders closed crimes crushed we're building stuff again you have an easy everybody thinks in threes remember herman kane god rest his soul nine nine nine people think in threes you can read on the psychology later they think in threes i didn't plan it that way but they think it's an easy message and your other goal is to make the other side unappealing here's the catch it can't be any easier because the other side thinks it's unappealing that they're not appealing to you democrats because they're all trying to walk away from woke 1.0 aoc laughing about oh woke 1.0 was crazy woke 2.0 is even crazier abolish thanksgiving cancel fireworks abolish ice open the borders defund the military defund the police you think woke 2.0 is an improvement ladies and gentlemen woke 2.0 i may be aging myself but some of you will get this in the chat is escape from la with kurt russell some of you will get that although i may be and i can see the boom or whatever i'll take it on this one escape from new york greatest movie ever escape from la was like 10 years or so later maybe even more worst movie ever in the history of movies and i love kurt russell i i can't believe they made him surf in that movie it's just look it up that's woke to it's worse it's actually not even a good analogy because escape from new york was awesome one of the best movies i've ever seen i love it woke one sucked too you there are no backsies i can't say this enough you trade baseball cards when you were a kid i don't know kids probably don't do that anymore maybe they do i don't know you make a bad trade i gave you uh i gave you a willie randolph card and you gave me uh bobby o'hada i'm a young i want it back no no no no backsies no back no no yes no takes these backs no thank you just no backsies governor desantis down here in florida brought this up the other day and he's absolutely right there were no backsies you're gonna run on the message president trump handed to you on a silver platter borders closed crime's been crushed we're building stuff again and you're gonna point out that the other side is so crazy they don't even like their own message and we're not letting them trade it back we're gonna put a bumper sticker on their forehead check this out making the statements about abolishing prisons and abolishing the police oh that was just woke one it was crazy like really like you just gonna say that it was just a mulligan or something like that like people were actually attacking law enforcement they wanted to defund police you did have candidates and you still have candidates who talk about abolishing prisons but you got swept up in that frenzy you don't just get to say oh that was that was yesterday oh let's just let's just move on i said this on fox guys two weeks ago no backsies no stop chapter two of the show serious time we hard break folks people died because of woke one no people actually died i'll talk to sean ferris who starts the show on monday at one o'clock rumble.com slash sean he's our guest today about this exact thing later people died in the chop zone couldn't render aid to people in the chops they wouldn't let the police in buildings were burned down people were jailed for surfing on the beach by themselves and i'm not even like paddle boarding in the middle of the ocean during covid who the f was gonna give you covid jaws is it even a shark disease can you look that up on chat gpt can sharks get infected with covid did this happen now you just want us to forget it mask mandates cancel culture folks look it up man i i live this youtube wiped us off the map because i dared to tell you that cloth masks don't work look it up i was called an election denier by politico for questioning the 2020 mass mail-in ballot election when the new york times themselves eight years earlier had questioned the exact same thing you can look those articles up they're still there tell me i wasn't in i was by investments in rumble and other free speech sites over and over to give people an avenue in the parallel economy we live this you have no idea one of these days i'll tell you the true story about this whole thing how much i because i don't like making the show about me it's about us all of us you have no idea the damage that the only time i think i saw paula ever really cry outside of a funeral was after like the third council culture bomb bomb i'm not talking about like they tried to push a sponsor off the show hit us they tried to wipe us out they put us in jail and you think we're gonna walk away from your crazy ideas the governor's right so is the president and i saw the wall street journal and others and i love the wall street journal i read it every day i never i don't have to agree with them on everything i like their writers okay it's my choice you can read whatever you like i get a lot of diverse viewpoints from both sides to see what the other side is thinking even people within around 10 but i saw them attacking trump in the op-ed comedy the other day one of their writers saying like i can't believe he's calling the left communist what do you mean you can't believe it they're self-avowed socialists and their main party platform big mainstream candidates and politicians like chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries are not in any way distancing themselves there's just a fringe people that are doing it carville van jones bill maher is not elected but that's it there's no mass movement to like purge the commies out of the party thank god the president's speaking the truth about it who else is gonna warn people hold on let me see it wow oh my gosh showing you like we don't plan this stuff yes sure can sharks get covid apparently sharks no see maybe that guy maybe that maybe they arrested they can't get some sharks can apparently get sharks have their own immune system to get various viral infections although you know it notes is this chat gpt you can't catch covid from eating properly handled and cook shark meat that's good to know thank you the good that see we're learning something new every day you get my point even if the shark can give the guy he wasn't even bit by a shark and this shark's not breathing on the guy with the aerosol that was the shocker it's the best part of a live show you get the live react from me folks we're not gonna forget any of that here's the crazy thing about this though is that woke 2.0 that aoc is now running on suggesting that it's somehow disparate and different from woke 1.0 woke 2.0 is crazier they're new ideas are nutty they're insane they're still sticking to crazy woke 1.0 like what we don't we don't really know what a woman is i mean espn just wrote a whole article about this the women's nba the wnba met apparently for hours trying to figure out what a woman is and what happened justin did they figure it out no no they still pretend to not know what a woman is and you're telling me this is woke 2.0 how do you think you think we're gonna figure out what a woman is i think we're gonna let this go really no we're not doing it here you want to see another crazy idea justin we love incorporating ai look we're at the front right we're at the front line of taking a tip of the spear right andy shark spear again if the shark was wearing a mask would it stop it from being trans he really has tbt give you the laughing emoji they get on it maybe this thing's super intelligent if you meet a shark literally wearing a human style mask probably not very well you know listen man we're laughing and stuff but guys ladies you know this is true we're a mask you everybody who wore a mask got covid and idiots were still like he's gonna protect me against covid there are more crazy ideas the guy running for governor in california javier baccaria i know his name joe biden doesn't baccaria is running in california this is one of the dumbest guys in the democrat party ask susan rice and others who there have been leaks behind the scene and said this guy's an idiot and they can't stand him this guy is running for governor in one of the most important states regions anywhere in the entire world it is california it's the tech hub the wine hub it's the manufacturing there's even oil that goes on you can't ignore california it's in the united states okay newsflash for leftists okay you are still subjected to the united states of america you're one of them this guy's running for governor he has this great idea remember how i tell you all the time do you remember this how the democrats love bumper sticker slogans there's nothing behind it there's no reason there's no analysis there's nothing it's just a bumper sticker rent control how do you control rents how do you do that is that every gun control how do you do that how do you do they love the sloganeering javier baccaria's got an idea it's probably one of the dumbest ideas you've ever heard this idea that we should make electricity in california free for two hours of the day when there's low demand we should make it free now when he says this stupid liberals like seals are like yeah man and he calls it guys the power out the power hour what a cool bumper sticker check this idiot out i wanted to mention here an idea that i believe we can actually put into action within my first year and it's what we're my power hour I believe that we can say to Californians maybe we start smaller maybe with those who are lower income for whom affording their electricity bill is really difficult and we say I'm gonna offer you two hours of free electricity how do I pay for that well it just so happens that today we produce so much solar energy electricity that oftentimes in the afternoon we can't make use of all of it why don't we use it and why don't we do what we used to do back in the 90s you know as in the 20th century we tell people hey please don't use your appliances during the afternoon late afternoon evening hour or afternoon hours because we need to cover for all the air conditioners and the cost of trying to take care of a hot day and so we should tell people wait or do it very early in the morning well today it's almost reversed we have to rebalance today we produce a lot of energy during the hot hours because the Sun helps us produce solar energy take advantage of it so the best way to get you to readapt to recalibrate is to tell you the best time for you to use electricity today one to three and if you do that I won't charge you please before I even go any further please put Muttley's in the chat pre-emptive Muttley's before I've even explained Dan is starting to sound like Muttley when he laughs giants for breakfast too in this I know it's not intentional it's the weirdest thing you ever notice like that that thing like you you you and like your wife as you're married for decades you start to talk the same way maybe not told but you start using like this is what's happening it's the weirdest thing I am morphing into Muttley in live time because I'm Muttley's in the chat I can't take it I can't take the stupid you want to let the Democrats want to run away from this idea so baccaria just to be clear because solar power is inefficient and governments have made solar power uh made them you know work by subsidizing them with taxpayer dollars right and made it work and it still doesn't work to deliver power you just said it this isn't working solar the sun's only out it's so so if it's not working then why not just let the market take over and figure out a way to make it work no we're gonna do is because government screwed up the whole power market and and helped out solar when they shouldn't get it they should compete like everyone else now what we do is we're gonna give you a two-hour window where the free power and you use it there so this guy what is it David Amati on X had the best idea ever I love this this goes to show you how dumb this is the unbroken leg fallacy I'll get to in a second government creates a distortion in the market screw something up and in a fixed distortion in the market they introduce a new government rule like the power hour stupid ass bumper sticker from Bakaria this guy David Amati who's an MD PhD on X he says anyone with half a brain or reading this post will go ahead and lease a Tesla Powerwall battery for 101 a month set it to fill up with free power every day during the Bakaria power hour and use that free stored power during the other 22 hours it goes on and you could just let the market figure this out you know thank you David Amati MD PhD this is a scam and it's what's called the unbroken leg fallacy the educational portion today's show here it is if you don't know what this is look it up it is super important I threw it in uh was it grok I had said grok what's the unbroken leg fallacy it's this idea that government creates a problem we are going to make sure people use solar what if they don't want to use solar doesn't matter well now it's not working okay let's do some more government the unbroken leg fallacy is an economic concept coined by Robert Higgs as a counterpart to Bastiat's well-known broken window fallacy it criticizes the common presumption underlying government interventions macro and micro that market participants you in other words are fully capable of acting more productively like you can figure but you can't but you fail to do so because of market failure you're too stupid in other words so the state must fix jump in to fix the problem because you are too dumb this is a perfect example of the unbroken leg fallacy you like that why what would be there oh you like that he appreciates my formatting and the grammar and the capital thank you just and I try I know if I'm gonna screenshot it sometimes I just wing it and I send it quick not thinking but I do try to think this especially with grok sometimes grok will actually tell you you know and correct it for you in the answer all right listen I gotta take a quick break but I want to show you something I want to show you something else like this CNN interview that shows you exactly what I mean again why we're not letting woke 2.0 which is crazier than woke 1.0 replace and and just disappear the democrats no it's not going away it's not Casper the friendly ghost okay and we have a message borders shut crime crushed we're building stuff that's your message that's your message put it up against Bakari and his stupid ass power hour Elon this is an opportunity brother go out there give a discount on the Tesla Powerwall it's a great product by the way and there you go the market will fix this idiot's problems Bakari that they caused hey we talk

you bernard we appreciate it i want you to watch what i mean in this segment here too when i talk about how the Woke two, woke one, all of this stuff is the same thing. And we're not going to let you, we're going to tattoo this on you. Governor DeSantis and President Trump, all of them are correct. You're not running away from it. We're going to call you what you are. I don't care if the Wall Street Journal objects to it. President Trump, how dare you call these people a commies. Because they are. They are. Sometimes you've got to really wake people up like Clockwork Orange style and be like, hey, look at what we're talking about. You know, even Reagan, who they love in the Wall Street Journal, was like, no pastels. Big, bold, bright color differences. We're not doing pastels. Do you remember that? I do. He called out big government. Worst words in the government and in language. I'm from the government. I'm here to help. That was Reagan. What do you think? He was dancing around. Reagan didn't call out communism. Do you guys happen to remember? You may have been non-existent, but you know, you see, you know, Mr. Gorbachev teared down that wall. He didn't say, Mr. Gorbachev, can I ask you a question? Can you please, like, slowly remember? Move the mortar from a lot. No, that's not what he said. When people say stupid stuff. I got to get to cursing under control. Something we have some awesome news coming. And I, I promise that it involves Sean and everything else. I just don't want to tell you yet. It's not his show Monday on Rumble. It's different stuff. The empire is expanding. Doomers and grifters. I know you're going to crap your diapers again going forward. As no, I get so much joy out of it. I can't even tell you. You're just going to crap your diapers again. As we continue to expand this little empire we're running here. But I want you to watch this CNN guest. She says like the craziest thing. You're just talking about mom, Dami in New York. Again, proto commie tip of the spear commie. about how he ran on affordability and rents. New York rent is out of control. And yet I just showed you yesterday that New York rents are at an all-time high. So if you had any functioning neurons whatsoever, you'd be like, he ran on this. I'm going to control your rent. Your rents are now even worse. Sane people would be like, man, he really sucks. We're not dealing with sane people and we're not letting them get away from their message. Watch the CNN guest perpetually confused. Check this out. Very skilled marketer, which is why he got into the mayoral office in the first place. And he's continuing to do that. He's very good at the photo ops. But if you look at the numbers, those are telling a completely different story. Rents are at a new all-time high. So I think eventually the data and the reality of the policies he's implementing are going to catch up with him. I do think, though, that there are New Yorkers who are happy with him, not because he's a member of the Democratic Socialist Party. They're happy with him. They're happy with him because he was talking about affordability and addressing their top priorities. They're happy with him because he's following through on campaign promises. You look at filling potholes or fixing drinking fountains. These are things that New Yorkers care about. He fixed one drinking fountain and it's because somebody tagged him on Instagram to do that. A functioning government doesn't need somebody to be tagged on Instagram to fix something. Thank you, Lydia Moynihan, by the way, who's the reasonable sound guest on the CNN panel. She does a great job with Scott Jennings there all the time. Wait, we're proud of Mamdani now because some rando on Instagram said, hey, my water fountain's broken. And Mamdani, in what was clearly a photo op, who could be dealing with big issues in the city, crime, the budget, union contracts that are falling apart. Mamdani says, hey, bring a photographer so I can go waste my time and pretend to fix a water fountain. And you're celebrating this while rents explode, while he's still attacking the police at any opportunity he can. I mean, we've been talking about this for a long time. We've been talking about this for a long time. We've been liked the answers, but I was always going to tell you the truth. Always. I promise you. You know, I had this argument the other day with someone I was chatting with who's on the other side who called me about something totally different. It's easy to tell people the easy thing. It's not always easy to tell people the right thing. And that's why this show for 10 years has always had an audience. Hey, Jasmine, did you see the numbers? You proud or what? I thought there she is. I told you all this show succeeded for 10 years. My team here today, we are dealing with the most headwinds today we have ever dealt with on our show. And I said, if we hit certain numbers today on the thing, I said, I'll be really proud of the whole thing. We were already past the show's not even like close to over. So thank you, Bongino Army, for always being there. And the reason you're here is, I tell you the truth, even when it's not what you want to hear. I want to play this cut and you'll see what I mean. I'm not doing bumper stickers. I'm going to give. We're going to have some tough talk here. This is Bud Cummins on the was a real America voice. He's a he's a former U.S. attorney. And this is a really interesting 30, 40 seconds. He's talking about the FBI and the gist of what he's saying. The core of it is, hey, man, this these recent transparency efforts by cash and others in the administration and John Solomon, too. He's done an amazing job to get out all of the scandals, to show you everything, all the warts that happen. If this is going to happen, maybe we should just abolish the place. OK, well, let's talk about it. You may think. You may think, you know what I'm going to say. You don't. I want you to listen to this cut first. It's really important. Check this out. They were unintelligent. They were untrained. They weren't qualified. Where they were unethical and they were unlawful. There's no real other option here. And so how in the world these were some of the included some of the top leaders at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. How can that happen? How can that possibly happen? And this is not hyperbolic. I would rather not have the Federal Bureau of Investigation if we can't figure out a way to stop that from happening because happening, because we give them way too much power to ruin the lives of American citizens. To allow them to be led in such a an incredibly unethical way. That's a powerful word. They are powerful. And, you know, I'm going to tell you, I really I bet to my people who don't know me, but the tractors, they don't like me because I don't engage in their nonsense and I don't do like psyops online. You know what I'm talking about. They probably think I'm going to say that's a crazy idea. I'm not. What? You work there. What do you mean? It's not a crazy idea. Bud Cummins makes a really good point. What's the greater risk if this is just going to be what happens going forward, that every time power changes hands, there's going to be weaponized use of the FBI and the Department of Justice to just imprison people for political beliefs? I'd rather not have one at all. It's not crazy. It's not crazy. The damage that was done by James Comey, and I would add, Christopher Wray, the prior leadership of the FBI, you know, all the names, you've heard them all before stroke page of it is when I say incalculable. I mean, it's not, you can't put it on a spreadsheet. That's why I'd say to people all the time. I, I, there was no trust me, bro. I love when people say when we give you actual, no one's asking you to try. I just produced you numbers of what we did. I want to tell you what we did first to change that culture. But then I want to tell you why, again, this is going to be a painful, very difficult, but absolutely necessary conversation. Bud Cummins isn't crazy. And either is John Solomon saying those are powerful words just quickly. Cause again, I don't want to, but it's, it's your FBI under the president's leadership cash and me on the ground. A couple of things we, we reorganized the whole place. We wiped out basically entire divisions that we thought were acting inappropriately and reorganize the entire matter of fact, we reorganized it so much that they had phone trees. We had to deactivate whole phone trees because their positions didn't even exist anymore. I'm not making that up. I had a guy, these are all gone. We got to start over on the whole phone tree thing, whatever we reorganize the entire place. These are facts. These are not opinions. The leadership changes. I'm not sure what the numbers, but probably less than 10% of the special agents in charge of the offices, the offices around the globe, I would argue probably less than 10% are still there. Some people just didn't like the new direction of the FBI and left some more, let go. A lot of them were let go with the leadership. She's not there anymore. 10% of the workforce turned over. I think it was a year after we got there. Many were fired, many left, some were suspended. But again, these are just facts because they did not like the new direction of the FBI, which was crazy. Like let's get back to doing like crime and counter terror and not like weaponization. Entire squads were dismantled. It was a Washington field office squad. It was a total mess. It was clearly being used for weaponization efforts. The squad's gone. It doesn't exist anymore. Many of those people were let go. Some people left. The case management for sensitive cases. Everything was done with cash. I don't want to take too, but as the deputy, I had to sign off on sensitive cases. Anything that involved media, politicians, there are now new guardrails. If you are going to investigate one of these people, there are extra steps you have to do now. Because I just didn't want them, you know, what a willy nilly, I hate that word, but opening up cases against politicians. There were new guardrails. Pfizer reforms. It's probably something you haven't heard about. I am a huge civil libertarian. So is cash. We had a lot of objections within the FBI. We added internal guardrails to use Pfizer to spy on people. We did. It wasn't popular at all. I'm telling you, the FBI hated it. We didn't care. We did it anyway. We didn't have to do it. We did it anyway because it mattered. Just a couple more. We added millions of dollars to FOIA. The FOIA department, where you can go FOIA, Freedom of Information Act, it was terrible. The administrative processes were terrible. The feedback loops were terrible. We added tons. It's going to take a little time to clean that whole process up. We're almost there to you get the information you need again these are all facts there are unprecedented disclosures things that have been hidden for years crossfire round river all of it we knew it was going to look bad it didn't matter wasn't our job to make anything look good it was our job for you to see what happened the transparency engaged in by cash to get you this information working with john and the administration is unprecedented there's never been anything like it by any measure pages released and finally case management there used to be a way to hide files it's a long story that's gone now there's a whole new system you can still hide files from you know if you have like a source or something but you can't do it the way you used to to make things go away so that's yes that's not trust me bro that's what happened having said that then why are you still concerned because let's ask a few questions folks all this stuff we did is for naught you if i'm sorry i wrote this i don't want to fix such an important conversation will any of these guardrails guardrails excuse me work if new leaders come in and just change everything if kamala harris or aoc is elected president god forbid in two and a half years what's to stop them from coming in and reversing every single thing the answer folks i wrote it down here we're about to find out that's why i'm i don't dismiss bud cummins ah that's crazy no it's not crazy we're about to find out now once these changes and all this stuff is dismantled foia case management sim cases public corruption cases when those guardrails are pulled down it'll leak to the media it'll be politically painful but i don't think they care so yeah these are serious questions question two if these guardrails don't work and are pulled down is there another option for oversight i think there is i've told many members of congress it is imperative upon them in a separate branch of government the fbi obviously falls under the executive branch the presidency the legislative branch has to be more vigorous in their oversight the fbi they have to there's nothing we like more than getting letters about hey we want to see this good that's your job i wish some of it wouldn't leak out because some of it's ongoing however it has to be done you cannot rely on the executive branch to police itself because it could be led by someone like aoc just a couple more points and i got some other things i want to get to that are really important including sean farish folks we can't just casually dismiss the other side either we can't just say yeah just abolish it well you can however there are things that us as you can't just say yeah just abolish it well you can however there are things that us as national thinkers who don't think in bumper sticker politics and i don't dismiss the idea what are we going to do with the counterterrorism and the counterintelligence mission you say well we can put it elsewhere well doesn't that just create the problem elsewhere because it was the counterintelligence mission that was weaponized to go after president trump you think like they put it elsewhere like different people under a democrat administration are going to just go oh no it's a different it's not the fbi it's the abc what do we do with the mission what do you do with the expertise there are people who've been working legitimate the fbi does a pretty damn good job on ct the ci mission was a train wreck we've got it cleaned up for now the counterintelligence you know catching spy catching basically couldn't go right back to crazy though but what do you do with the operators who've been working a source in yemen whatever for 10 years has been giving them valuable intel that may have stopped 10 or 20 terror attacks this is real like i'm not i'm not giving up any spit i just threw you out there but there are things like this do you just cancel them and fire them what if there's a terror attack and babies and grandmas die like don't we have to think about this stuff we're not the left we're not javier baccaria power hour bumper sticker dumb ass shit kurt russell surfing on the wave in la that's not us i don't have an easy solution for that i know i'm here to like a guide you i don't have an easy solution for that if we just transfer it somewhere else to somewhere else could become corrupted too finally one last thing i already mentioned it so make it quick the best we can do is the guardrails and the changes we made i just laid out for you is to create real headline risk for the next administration create some stronger congressional oversight strong like ironclad congressional oversight and make it so if they change it and say we're not doing for you anymore we're going to return uh counterintelligence to uh weaponize weaponize we're bringing back all these squads that it went after president trump all right then we're going to at least do something about it and expose it not the easiest answer certainly not the best answer maybe not even a good answer but it's a serious conversation we got to have folks that's the thing i really enjoy about being in the conservative movement you have to give people a lot of difficult not easy but right answers the right answer here is it's not there isn't the right answer here is shocking there's no right answer this is something we're going to have to as a group of people i'm not in charge yeah you weren't no even when i was the deputy i'm not in charge by my i worked for the president who appointed an attorney general who there's a dag the deputy attorney general that supervises the fbi i was underneath cash it's not just me we all have to decide collectively how we want to move forward is it worth the risk we're all going to find out i say that because one of the things i bring up on the show all the time and folks this is a but if lawmakers would have listened to me 10 years ago audience archivist judy can you find out for me there's no bigger p1 she knows everything the earliest show i've ever done where i mentioned the social security problem i'm i'm sure it's got to be 10 years old i have been warning people for years let me just stipulate some points so you don't yell at me because i always get nasty emails seniors out there you did pay in you did earn that money 100 correct no one's disputing it all i'm saying is you did pay in you did earn that money 100 correct no one's disputing it all i'm saying is you did pay in you did earn that money 100 correct no one's disputing it all i'm telling you with this segment is for the last 50 years the government stole your money that you did earn for benefits they promised you after you earned the money they stole the money and spent it that's all i'm telling you there is nothing in the lockbox it's not a cash fund it is just ious they've already spent okay always protect your jimmy still sit or kneel i'm trying but lynn and jeff always there glad you're staying healthy dan thank you thank you dan just drank that's not the fresca it's the modern life ddw but the fresca that's another one we still got the fresca came back i'm just the messenger giving you non-bumper sticker power hour politics if we don't fix social security now there is no money by 2032 that doesn't sound far away dan sounds like less than a decade yes now if you would have listened to me 10 years ago lawmakers we wouldn't be in this hall here's the craziest thing i'm sitting home yesterday i i really mean it i read this article in the wall street journal i almost fell over i was outside with lucy who ate another freaking lizard by the way it vets out there is that bad she's now like not just attacking she's now eating them she didn't throw up or anything so i thought she was like any vets in the chat she's you know florida couple lizards in florida justin just a couple i have like thousands of lizards in my house they crap all over the freaking place there's lizards in here all the time too if you're not comfortable with lizards don't move to florida i'm outside with lucy i almost fell over when i read this this is a real headline the wall street journal i love sternberg's pieces is congress about to reform social security what i thought that was the third rail don't touch it just let it fail finally after me screaming for 10 years and others that things going bankrupt finally congress is like hey houston we got a problem they note this this is sternberg's piece under current law the programs have exhausted their current trust funds thank you i've been saying this for 10 years benefits would fall to match current revenue from the payroll tax when that happens that would require by law an estimated 22 cut in benefits overnight for retirees i'm just telling you the problem overnight 20 of your benefits gone sternberg notes should it happen it would constitute what's known in technical political science jargon as a quote disaster for anyone unfortunate enough to be serving in congress at the time folks were less than 10 years old away from a by law mandated cut in social security benefits because the trust fund is done i'm just giving you the facts there are a thousand ways to fix this thing means testing the next generation of benefits justin told me something interesting i obviously we were born in different cohorts i'm 51 justin's 18 he's not i'm kidding it's a joke um he's young though justin said hey dan no one in my generation is even expecting social security anymore well i don't know if that's true or not i certainly don't speak for everyone he doesn't either but if that's the case then why not reform it now we can't touch what happened where you can't it's it's politically untenable and by the way seniors working now or they did earn it that was their money promises were made it's not their fault what you said that key oh gee said sorry he's like this is like this is show stolen valor like he can't you how dare you sorry i credit the game but justin was thinking it too i'm just telling you man we either fix it now we're screwed why because folks there are a lot of ops going on always, you know, about the psyops, you know, the Jews suck, the evangelicals suck, the Protestants suck. The data center is going to kill you. It's, it's, it's, it's draining Niagara Falls folks. I'm not the, the gloves, the death gloves with the shot gloves. They were whipping people like they're, these are all viable things to talk about. I don't want to hear the op. Okay. I just want to hear reasonable people debate issues. I don't do power hour, Baccaria, bumper sticker shit. We can fix this. The way we can fix it is growth. Shocker. It's the only way out. You are living right now in the golden age of American politics, borders closed, crime crushed, manufacturing exploding. You have the ability with artificial intelligence right now going forward to live in basically the electric of vacation, electric vacation of the economy during the industrial era, industrial revolution, growth. Growth could grow to 10% a year. If we would just let people out there in the space, use technology to enhance productivity from everyone, from the poorest to the richest American. They don't want it. I'll give you an example. How are you going to fix social security? Well, first I want you to just see the problem first. EJ and Tony, you know, we love them, uh, follow them on X, put up this post on X. Do you understand how bad the government debt problem is at 40 trillion in debt? Let me put it in perspective. For you, put up that tweet 56, what is it? 56 cents of every dollar is now being spent. Let, Oh, even worse, 56 cents of every dollar the government spent last month was borrowed 56 cents. Is that more than half? I'm not a math major. Is it? It is right. I think so. 56 of every dollar was borrowed. We have to pay interest on that folks. When you're paying interest on 40 trillion, here's the chart for you. You're going to have to pay interest on 40 trillion. If you think we're making it up, that's a lot of money. The interest your tax dollars are paying now on debt, your government is taking out to spend money. It does not have is one of the top three or four budget items in the budget. Wait, what? Yes. You wonder where your social security payments are going? Interest on the debt. Why your military isn't funded sometimes interest on the debt. Why Medicare, Medicaid are going bankrupt interest on the debt. Now we can grow out of this 10, 20% growth. You know, if you had a household that was a hundred thousand dollars in debt, making a hundred thousand dollars a year, I'd call that trouble, right? Justin. However, if you're making $10 million a year, all of a sudden it doesn't look so bad. Folks, we can grow out of this. The way out of it. The only way out of it is using this flourishing technology to make everyone from the HVAC guy to the finance bros. Everybody seems to hate wealthier so they can pay more taxes into the future. So we're going to have to pay more taxes into the future. We're going to have to get people into the system as a percentage of their income and finally get these people made whole and social security and elsewhere. It's the only way. And I know what you're thinking. The Democrats are like, and the, and the, you know, socialists who want to run away from their socialist woke one. No, like, well, what about socialism is an option? We've tried that. We're spending ourselves into an abyss. I saw this this morning. Now I am not a fan of sovereign wealth funds, government. Let me just be clear. I'm not because they subject themselves to political influence. There's a, but if you're going to have a sovereign wealth fund, what are we going to hear from the Democrats all the time? You got to be more like Norway and Sweden. Meanwhile, Sweden, Sweden's privatizing their economy because socialism sucks. I saw this story this morning that one of the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the world is Norway. The numbers are staggering. So I put this in chat GPT. Tell me about Norway's sovereign wealth fund. Weird how they rely on capitalism for their sovereign wealth fund. Crazy, Justin. They got all this money from oil. Oh my gosh. I told you. So Javier Baccaria told us about power hour and solar at the end of 2025. This is from chat GPT. The sovereign wealth fund was worth, uh, was worth 2 trillion us dollars depending on exchange rates. It's one of the largest investment funds in the world. Norway's fund owns nearly 1.5% of all publicly listed equities in the world. Again, I'm not suggesting government infiltration. I'm just telling you the extent to which your heroes in these Democrats social, rely on capitalism to, it's just ridiculous. Put up the other one. They got the money from oil. They discovered enormous North Sea oil reserves in the sixties and they put it into a fund investing in the free market, not government free market. The philosophy was oil, sell the oil, convert it to financial assets. Oh my gosh. Preserve those assets for future Norwegians. Folks, the returns on this thing have been stunning. Again, I'm not telling you it's the best idea. I'm just telling you, giving you a balanced approach. That even your heroes in Sweden and Norway are almost fully reliant on free markets to save them, not the socialism you claim is saving them. You can look this stuff up, you know, maybe Bakaria can say, yes, you're correct. He could do the California investment and take all the tax dollars and invest it in like the free market, which has been exploding. He's too stupid. You want a message to run on, man? I'm going to give you a message to run on. There's always a message to run on. Unlike all this other bullshit, socialism, Democrats, socialism, bumper stickers, tolerance coexist. I don't know what a woman is. I'm sorry. You're too stupid to figure it out. From the famous now nothing is happening file. I love to hear this stuff. Here are some more results to run on. You may hear more from President Trump and the FBI director today, Friday, three o'clock. President Trump's up in New York running with Bruce Blake, Blakeman running for governor of New York. He's a great candidate. Know him very well. Wish him the best. He's got a real shot up in New York day where they're getting really pissed off at all this craziness. But cash put out a post yesterday. I thought nothing was happening. This is what they tell us. We're going to have to add a third bookshelf to the nothing is happening files. Things keep piling up. So the FBI is involved in summer heat too. Now, one of my, by the way, I made, can I just tell you on a personal note to the Bongino army and my entire 51 years in this planet, it's my proudest professional accomplishment in with cash and obviously president trump's leadership with summer heat one i managed that thing and let me tell you i'd never been prouder the fact that we got all these dirt bags and shitheads off the street they're in summer heat too now made a load of this just in two months 4 000 arrests 1500 indictments 2500 recovered weapons 3300 kilos of coke seized three mexican mafia members uh convicted for murder the arrest of the rich kings a neighborhood-based street gang in houston with each arrest we aim to make our streets a safer place i hear people we don't we don't really care no no people care but you don't care about it because you're just a doomer what about this one yeah you guys aren't going after left-wing operatives and all that stuff it's not about left wing it's about corruption did you see this story from the nothing is happening file about the splci again and nothing is happening nothing to do with anyone's politics everything to do with corruption this is from cnn by the way exclusive a former employee the splc has been arrested in california on charges she oversaw secret payments to informants inside of white supremacist groups everyone's innocent till proven guilty folks but stop telling me nothing is happening the blm arrests an investigation the first antifa prosecutions in u.s history you're just making it up because you're a doomer and you don't want the president to have a message or the republicans to have a message going forward i got a couple things to get to before i get to uh but this i want to end on kind of a high before i get to sean don't miss my interview with sean farrah show coming up on monday launching really important ladies and gentlemen this is probably the funniest story i think i've seen in a long time i am not exaggerating this popped on my wall street journal feed yesterday do you know peggy flanagan she's a communist she is running for the u.s senate in minnesota which is unbelievable lieutenant governor on the walls who's the worst governor in the country by far with all the fraud and all that crap okay peggy flanagan is running as the first native american on our campaign list for the first time in the campaign literature and emails the first native american woman to enter the u.s senate folks in the chat are we we sensing a disconnect josh you see where this is going well that's a problem right because we already have a native american female u.s senator on the democrats do we not she actually invented powwow chow elizabeth warren she's already told us she's native high cheekbones she's already told us she's my papa you guys remember okay what up here i'm good honey how's so peggy flanagan are you guys gonna get like a ufc cage match for who was the first native american one thank you to james freeman and wall street journal for pointing this out which i missed i'm not in minnesota i don't know folks but maybe we should set up like a parcheese game whatever whoever wins gets to claim the mantle of i'm not sure i thought miss powwow chow was the first mother mother and. speaking of a little humor you know on fridays producer jim who we love producer jim puts together a moment of calm for you always from the left wing side let me give a language alert advance i haven't seen the clip i don't but every time they tell me there's no language in it there's always language in it this is your democrat zen thanks to producer jim calming moment of the week on friday so you can coast into the weekend with your cortisol levels really low democrats zen moment of the day check it out your democrat zen moment of the day a peaceful moment to set enter your mind this has been democrat zen again i'm by the way guys i want to note folks in the chat remember last week by the way gee did last week's democrat zen larry the liberal that is a it's not fake it's very funny it's a it's a joke i knew i was right i've been doing this i think this one's a joke too yes i i need a thorough analysis from the audience that last week if you go look at friday's show i was right and where thank god um andy too remember andy too was here i can't tell you with andy too saved us last week jasmine we were right last week larry the liberal that's a sarcasm so you me and andy too were right my team was in fact wrong i think today i think that may be a scam too we'll find out on monday you know about our contest we love to give away money here why because you're just really awesome and we love being around you we love talking to you in a live chat it's not better than a live show the energy is totally different we used to tape once in a while wouldn't you agree guys the energy is totally off you got to be live with your audience i don't like it i'm live or nothing the contest is called the 1776 live club we give away once a week 1776 dollars to a comment of the day winner if you want to see the official rules go to bongino.com slash 1776 our comment of the day today is bt jones 65 holy 44k while candace and andrew go at it i'm thinking bt jones 65 holy 44k while candace and andrew go at it i'm thinking bt jones 65 holy 44k while candace and andrew go at it i'm thinking bt jones 65 holy 44k while candace and the igaff crowd is larger than anyone thought that is my favorite comment of the day so far do you guys know why i'm all right i know i gotta get to sean i love his way that i i do i gotta get to sean but i'm really proud of you guys and i mean that's my team too and jasmine and paula and everyone involved in this obviously that's going on i've chosen not to comment i not that i can't i just think that mr robinson deserves a fair trial and he deserves like anyone else uh his innocence until proven guilty and sometimes i'll comment on cases sometimes i won't i just think you want to hear that's fine that's up to you i there's a lot of things i have to talk about and i just think it's given my time there that uh extensive commentary on it i can talk about some but extensive commentary is probably uh not the best idea the fact that i said to my team this morning it's a friday in the end of summer people are still on vacation the news cycle's slow the mangione thing is going on the murtaugh thing is going on on live tv i swear to you guys i said to my team we'll do a lot of vod video on demand later i said if we hit 40 live i'll be stunned we'd far surpass that so that's we filled the stadium on a day with so much competition if we hit 20 i would have been happy so that's how much i love you guys i really appreciate it they don't know what that means you you you want to tell them i think it means oh a d yeah yeah i don't give up yeah yeah i'm trying not to curse as much it'll make sense more next week i'll tease a little bit with sean coming up next quick break we'll get to sean farrish hey weight loss injections are everywhere but here's a catch about 15 of users quit because of the cost another 15 stop because of side effects a while back i wanted to drop some pounds too i did i was i was coming out of the cancer thing i was eating way too much garbage food it's the only thing i'd keep down i was about 238 pounds so i wasn't

together this product called lean it's my bottle right there l-e-a-n lean l-e-a-n for lean i took it i dropped well over 30 pounds this morning i'm actually down to 192 so it's a lot you can go look at the old rumble photos that big puffy face and everything but i want to stay healthy and my joints will bother me i chose lean from brick house nutrition here's why weight loss shots they work by helping control blood sugar and appetite so you eat less there's no argument there the shots can work for a lot of people but lean was doctor formulated to do similar things naturally worked for me it works for paula works for all of me keep it to maintain our weight lean helps support steady energy without constant cravings lean did something injections don't it help my body turn fat into energy

family the great the legend in live time sean ferris sean good to see you dan thank you so much i'm so excited to start on monday it's a full circle moment for me right sitting on on the tappan zee bridge many many years ago listening to you flipping out over stefan alper and now we're going to be streaming on the bongino report and uh having so much fun blowing it up we're going to do what we got to do here to to advance the cause and i'm super excited to be here with you today and we'll see you next time sean you you really deserve it and i i don't i'm very careful with who we bring in to the the family here uh you know listen i'm a free market guy it's a it's it's it's a business but it's a passion for me obviously i love activism just like you you know you and i have been at actual events for candidates you know helping them we weren't you know paid to do it or anything like that up in new york in states i don't even live in and you don't either anymore and i'm so excited to be here um so this is a passion project for us in it but it is a business as well and i'm very careful about who i bring on board because you don't want any like toxic personalities i want everyone to know that sean behind the scenes just like hayley and vince is the exact same person he there's nothing different about him he is just a genuine guy and he's really busted his ass and he's been guest hosting on radio now when i got my start and people did this for me you know i was guest hosting on christmas morning i mean that literally uh christmas morning i mean that literally uh on christmas morning i was guest hosting on wcbm uh wmal and elsewhere you've definitely put in your time we've got more announcements coming ahead about sean so stay tuned in the next week but it's not easy doing that all the time but you earned it man no it's not easy but it's fun and it's uh you know i can equate it to like batting practice you know or or just just reps reps in the gym whatever your favorite activity is the more you do it the more comfortable you are when you do it like i remember my first time filling in on radio i was i was so so nervous i didn't even get up to go to the bathroom during the breaks and and for anyone who knows me that's odd because that's like four hours of me not you know it's just like the all-running joke is like hey you don't stop doing that so for four hours i was just in the seat glued like i don't want to miss coming out of a break i'm so comfortable doing it now and it's so much fun uh you know whether it's guest guest hosting radio or guest hosting for your podcast or vince's podcast or anybody it's just it it's a lot of fun for me but number one goal always is to advance the cause right can we move the football down the field even if it's just a yard or two at a time like i'm a jets fan i'm not used to seeing the offense move the football so on the political side i'd like to move the football and uh what you've been doing for the last 10 plus years well you've been moving the ball quite a bit you know you've been highly efficient at it uh i'd love to i'd love to to be a part of that team and i cannot wait i cannot wait not just to be able to stream but the results i want the results i want to bring more people into the movement i want to advance the cause i want to see us putting up some wins electorally that's always my goal it's my goal when i was in new york it's my goal now so uh i want to make it happen i'm super excited to be able to do it with uh with you guys it's awesome and we're excited too and i really appreciate your at-bats analogy you know the more swings you get the better your nervous system gets the better the muscles get the better the mind gets at being sharp on the air and you mentioned the bathroom analogy it's so funny you say that because i used to freak out whenever i used to guest host for shows and i would use the comrex box and i used to freak out whenever i used to guest host for shows and i would use the comrex box because the comrex box i would say to the the host at a station i'd be like well what if the internet goes down and they'd be like it's not going to go down it hasn't gone down in like a hundred days i'm like that doesn't sound like a good percentage you freak out about everything like you said you don't even go to the bathroom and then you do the show and not to sound like an ass or anything but you you just get very relaxed on the air and it becomes a conversation which both parties like and then you're like showing up on a bathroom break with like a second to go while the liner's playing right and producer jim is like dude where are you bro where are you i'm like i've never missed four years on live radio i never missed i'm like brother up and he would get nervous john every single time i would come back sometimes while the actual intro music was playing he'd freak out yeah i've done that a few times you know sit in the seat i hear the thing calling like oh my headphones on gotta get ready and you but you come back and you play it nothing happened nobody knows you know hey welcome back in we're doing this but at the behind the scenes you're sweating bullets right there's a puddle under the seat you're sweating so bad but it's it's fun the stories are great and again like you said when i said you know many people have said it before it's the at-bats it's the reps it's the the more you do something the more comfortable you are doing it so i mean it's been a few years i've been doing it for a few years and uh again just excited about what we've got coming next and and you know what's happening on monday this launch of sean ferrish live it's going to be i think we're going to have a bunch of fun at one o'clock in the afternoon and i encourage everybody to to to give it a shot you know it it's it's probably for you it might not be for everybody i've heard you said the same thing about your show like hey if you don't like this yeah that's okay i say it's not for everybody but it is for anybody anybody can come in and and listen and and see if it's for you try it out i think you'll like it yeah i i know you will 1 p.m rumble.com slash sean s-h-a-w-n on monday don't miss you can only catch the first show live one time you miss it you miss you can watch it vod but that's it uh let's get to some news of the day uh the press secretary probably i'd make a strong care i mean it's a subjective opinion but i could probably make a pretty strong case one of the top five most powerful positions not just in the executive branch but in the world i mean you were effectively the forward-facing messaging mechanism for the president of the united states unquestionably the most powerful man in the world by any objective measure caroline levitt i i think it's obviously unanimous uh did an absolutely amazing job well prepared quick on her feet understood the back and forth with the press had a behind the scenes relationship that was a little bit different when they were getting the facts wrong i even saw it in the news and i was like this morning political playbook they don't even like the administration and they were like hey behind the scenes she knew how to work a story that's her job her job is to catch a story catch false components of it um so that's great but you had an idea that which i fully support that you which would impact my business but i'm okay with it you get a one-day contract dispensation to go and be the press secretary for a day i'm fully on board with this but the caveat is i'm not going to be the press secretary for a day i'm fully on board with this but the caveat is by her beware sean has to do it in his donald trump voice and preferably i would add with the donald trump wig on as well i think that would be an amazing idea i could go with the wig you know i could go with the wig i may have to turn my cap around for uh for a day that'll be all right um as much as it hurts you know but it's okay and i think i think press secretary for a day is brilliant well who would nobody would do a better job right think about it i would love to call caitlin collins a stupid person right and we say stupid is a choice and she chooses to be every single day she wakes up and chooses stupid every single day and she looks like dylan mulvaney which you're not supposed to say they say to me sir you're not supposed to say that second to me though i want to nominate donald trump's alter ego who i like to refer to as donna j trump right this is this is trans trump right so he will run for a third term we're nominating donna juliet trump she's a beautiful person she's fabulous we're gonna make america fabulous again if you can change your identity correct right and it would be a different person all together that's a great idea i love that who is anybody else to say he can't do that if dylan mulvaney can do it if william thomas can do it if uh sarah quote unquote timothy mcbride can do it then donald trump should identify as donna and run for president his hair gets a little longer maybe he's got to put something in his shirt i don't know you know kind of lean into the body type a little bit but that's phoenix yeah donna can be the press secretary and she's going to do a fantastic job too you know she's also the wnba mvp she's a lean mean rebounding machine think about i i think an 80 year old donna trump actually would do pretty well in the w even though i don't think donald trump plays basketball per se yeah yeah that's that's true have you ever seen some of the highlight videos on like what is it brick city on x is have you ever seen a worse basketball player at any professional level at all i'm talking about euro nba like nba wnba whatever cba college bet college they're getting paid now at nil have you ever seen a more incompetent player i love the thing the video at her dribbling where she dribbles and passes it to her other hand without it hitting the floor that's that's not dribbling it's she is the worst basketball player i have ever seen in my life at that level and that's what i'm saying donna trump i think would be the mvp because if she's considered good at that level i mean she gives me a run for my money i'm awful at basketball okay i'm like so bad i i played one time i got a rebound that came down on someone's foot rolled my ankle it blew up the size of a tangerine i said never again we're not doing this ever again i'll stick to baseball do a little you know pick up football maybe a little hockey on the you know not on skates i can't do the skates thing but you look at you look at angel reese's some of these clowns in the wmba which by the way now they're they're meeting for weeks to months to figure out what a woman is i mean you could ask a kindergartner he'll tell you in five minutes he knows the difference but they're waiting they're meeting for weeks to months but yeah if angel reese is allowed in the wmba to play what she's allegedly calling basketball then there's no reason why an 80 year old donna trump uh won't be the mvp when when she we have to use the preferred pronouns she joins the wmba she'll do a little bit in the wmba and then she'll be the next president who are they to say he can't do that it's their rules you and i laugh about a lot of obviously sean's very funny it's what you know i prefer hosts who get the model down educational entertainment you want to be entertained too and sean's very funny but it kind of brings me to a point i you know i i told you earlier as we were chatting i i can't leave this interview without bringing up a very serious point that there's no backseas here like you can pretend you don't know what a woman is in the wmba or if you're a supreme court justice like kentonji brown jackson who pretended not to know what a woman is they're obviously pretending these people aren't stupid they're running a business however you know aoc led the way recently they're trying to do you know what we call in politics the pivot now that primary season is almost over we still got florida and others but almost over you're seeing the crazy democrats defund the police abolish ice defund the military what is a woman all the stupid crazy we could go abolish the senate you get the whole drift of it now you're seeing them pivot oh we didn't really mean that stuff aoc laughing about woke one was crazy no no there are no backseas there were no tradebacks sean this was serious stuff people died businesses were looted during the floyd riots we were told rioting's no problem but god forbid you go to church and covet this this was the same cycle you won't get infected if you riot the virus doesn't infect rioters i mean this was the kind of stupid the chop zone the person was murdered in the chop zone in seattle there were no tradebacks we the republican party the maga movement the libertarians whoever you know is inside this tent and wants to be we better bumper sticker this on their forehead never let it go no tradebacks no tradebacks there's no such thing as woke one and woke two what's first of all if you're going to say woke one and woke two can you tell me the difference because i would love to know how woke one is different that it's it's it is worse this is the canceled thanksgiving this is the the the abdul al-sayyed america deserved 9-11 you know you had a francesca hong saying well you know thanksgiving is a painful time for some people i've never experienced anyone that has been in pain other than maybe you ate too much you know okay there's a little bit of pain there but like i don't i don't sit there on thanksgiving and be like oh man i need to i need to repent because of stolen land which by the way they'll never i'm lactose intolerant sean and one time my mom put some like half and half into mashed potatoes and i was like that's the only time i was hurting on thanksgiving other than that it's been a joyous again like you're absolutely right i don't know whoever goes to a thanksgiving dinner i'm in so much pain i mean let's make this you know what you know what they need i just thought of this sorry man i hate to interrupt everything i guess especially when you're on a roll but did you maybe think of something you remember festivus you ever watch seinfeld the woke two needs like an alternate thanksgiving holiday like a thanksgiving festivus for the rest of us air your grievances get the thanksgiving poll they don't have feats of strength because they're all wusses anyway like larry o'donnell larry the from yesterday if you missed that show but don't you think that'd be a great idea like they need an alternate thanksgiving like grievance giving where all they do is give each other grievances and they can hang around the grievance paul that that's an idea that's what they should do they should get around a table be miserable with each other talk about all the bad things by the way do nothing to fix it remember billy eilish oh stolen land the house is on stolen land she still lives there right so it's like you know ben and jerry's too a couple years ago we're not celebrating the fourth of july their headquarters in vermont is on some tribal land and they're like no we're not giving it back so they didn't ever live by their own rules we talk about that all the time the left never passes their own tests we look at woke one or woke two or whatever down the road woke three and they're like no we're not giving it back you mentioned somebody died in the chop zone horace lorenzo anderson jr 19 year old guy shot he was bleeding out emergency services couldn't get there in time because antifa decided we don't want you here so he died by the way he's black we don't hear that from black lives matter we don't hear them saying his name we're the only ones who are still saying this poor guy's name it's a it's an injustice what happened buildings burning down bizarre rules i was in new york during covid you had andrew cuomo the governor of new york saying he was going to kill me and he was going to kill me you could not order alcohol without ordering food at a bar but buffalo wings didn't count as food but soup did so soup was food buffalo wings was not food in the name of science the same science that was apparently used to determine to put sick people in nursing homes like this is woke one there is no ah we're going to absolve you of all that no you put the country through hell with all this stuff you made businesses have to comply with dei requirements and the human rights council and all this you know hire this person because of their skin color not because of their qualifications you put you put dylan mulvaney on the face of a beer can and tanked an entire brand you had cracker barrel decide that something that has worked for years they had to they had to bend over and fix you whitewashed the supermarket right all the people of color were taken off of the brands in the name of what ending racism well now there's only white people on the brands you took the indian off of the land the lakes thing you really literally removed the indian and kept the land i thought you're not supposed to do that so this is this is what woke one was and they want to say ah give us a pass no nobody should forget or give them a pass for what they did and by the way woke 2 is worse when you're dealing with now people who are campaigning with folks saying we deserve 9 11. no no thank you not interested in woke 1 or woke 2 or woke 3 or any woke just get rid of all of it and leave us to hell alone that's what i said such a good point about the land of lakes i'm going to tell you something i probably shouldn't say but when you say that you probably but this one i'm you it just makes me laugh i'm going to tell you something i probably shouldn't say but when you say that you probably but this one i'm you it just makes me laugh i'm going to tell you something i probably shouldn't say but when you say that you probably but this one i'm you it just makes me laugh we had this kid in the neighborhood growing up in glendale queens and he was this kid was like a lunatic he was the only kid i ever know got left back twice like how do you get left back twice that's not even possible i mean the guy was like two grades behind not one i remember because a guy a friend of mine sent me a picture just recently i grew up with and was like how is this dude call him joey bag of donuts in our pictures twice wasn't he like two years older than us i'm like you remember he got left back he's like no i'm like yes that's a guy but this kid once took the lando lakes sticker off the butter thing whatever it was of of the uh indian woman and if you fold it in the right spot and fold the kneeling up it's quite an interesting image don't try it at home i'm just telling you like this this can go look at this that's whatever i just remember that from it it's just like crazy childhood memories from queens this kid was such a lunatic man he was like a real weirdo but we all had a friend like that um in new york you know uh one of the things uh by the way another thing too i you mentioned the whole chop zone and all that before i get to my next topic it's really hard to believe that we really went through that now like i think back that you couldn't go to church during covid hysteria and loon and lunacy like put the mask on like i said it was the only thing prophylactic device it was like the condom that got everybody pregnant like everyone who wore a mask got sick and yet everybody still believed in it like the fact that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was going on in the house and that it was the only thing that was bunch of quote-unquote experts that were like well we don't consider coronavirus a reason to uh to stop protesting for social justice but then it said this should not this should not be interpreted as permission for any other protest what but this is people fell in line with that and we're like oh yeah that makes sense like think about this this is i was in new york for this 96 rolls of toilet paper you needed for 16 for 15 days to slow the spread i was the only one saying if you need that much toilet paper in two weeks you have a much bigger problem than covid like maybe it's cyclospora whatever i was just thinking that maybe that was the cyclospora has been around longer than we know if you you're right 96 rolls you got the parasite you just didn't know it i know it wasn't hip and cool to get the parasite back then like the new media history but listen i love segues i want to get to a couple things in our in our uh in our last five ten minutes here it's really important you just kind of like segues are great especially when they're unintentional cyclospora it's serious like we get it you don't want one side you don't want to be walking around like squeezing your legs together like oh my god that's embarrassing it's hard it hurts off the stage yeah take your electric yeah jerry not exactly maybe that was a cyclospora too but i think we can all acknowledge the summer news season is not always the best i mean it's very cyclical um everyone in news everyone you me uh i heard megan kelly and others sean ryan and others like that and ben then the summer news season is just not great cable news and else people are on vacation and that's good i want you to spend time with your family it's it's fantastic like it's not more important for me than the country to fall apart like watch the show screw your family kind of thing whatever that's not the way it works but in the summer news season you see stories like this the cyclospora thing has been so over dramatized i looked it up in florida at one point it was like 300 cases florida's got like 20 million plus people i'm like oh my gosh like can everybody i'm not eating salad ever again like everybody relaxed the only reason i bring it up now is i'm seeing this again with the shock gloves controversy so icbp dhs is looking at this glove which delivers a mild electric shock we have a little bit playing on vo from blue lives matter here below um it delivers an electric shock it's it's you know in most circumstances the overwhelming majority of circumstances it's relatively safe though a violent subject resisting police officers beating the crap out of them and then getting away and potentially committing another violent crime in the neighborhood and oh my god shock gloves everything else we already have a mechanism to deliver electricity to people it's called a freaking taser you may have missed it it's been around forever like this is such an op it's so pathetic whether you love my hair i'm not making the case i don't sell them i'm not i'm just telling you i get so tired these bullshit ops and these fancy news headlines they drive me freaking bananas well these people are addicted to outrage especially the media they have to find something to be mad about so first it was oh my gosh ice is killing people now it's oh my gosh ice is shocking people you know what would you what would you rather do well obviously their goal is to abolish ice they want to get rid of the whole organization the whole you know the whole uh institution the agency they want to get rid of the whole thing and just give amnesty to all the 25 35 40 million people who are trying to get rid of the whole industry illegally which by the way when you add 25 35 even if it's only let's say low side 10 to 20 million people when you add that many people to the demand side of a supply and demand equation you're going to see costs go up but please tell me more about how you're addressing affordability while doing that um but they they they want to find something to be upset about so now they're going to say that the shock gloves uh are in some way inhumane or are overkill like they're less lethal they're it's not you're not shooting them you're not gonna die unless you know unfortunately maybe they have a heart problem but there's no way to know here's a here's an easy one don't come into the country illegally and if you're apprehended by law enforcement don't resist arrest because i've never been hit with a taser i've never been uh you know a subject of brutal police contact that's because when i get pulled over in a traffic stop i don't go crazy when we got swatted and i had people pointing guns at me i didn't kick the front door down i didn't do anything i just went down when it got pumped full of freedom Easy way to get killed. Easy way. And Sean, like you and I are pretty reasonable people. I'm not suggesting to you there aren't mistakes. There aren't just grotesque violations of the law. There have been use of force cases. I don't defend anyone, cop, federal agent, if they violate their oath and shoot someone ever. Like don't be a dick about it. No one's saying that at all. I'm just saying like there is an easy way in 99.99 repeating decimal percentages of police-citizen interactions to not get tased or anything else. The answer is just comply. If there's a mistake, which happens a lot, which happens, just you get, there's civilian complaint review boards. There's a legal system. You can file a complaint with your local police department. Like just comply for your safety. If the officer did something wrong, we'll figure it out. I want to get to one last thing before we go. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'm not, again, I'm not for or against these things. I'm just saying like the op part of it drives me so bananas. Shock, oh my God, electricity. We already use, what would you, what's your answer? Okay, let's shoot them or beat the shit out of them with a nightstick. Like impact weapons or you'd rather, no, that's definitely better. That's definitely better. So, so stupid. I'm getting a little, you know, you're an activist. I saw you volunteering for the sheriff down there in Tennessee. I see he won his primary, right? He won his primary. He won his general. He's sworn, he's going to be sworn in in less than a month. Kenneth Barrett is so excited. So excited. Show him, I saw you. Follow him on Exxon and knock it on. Again, he's an activist too, which I love. It's one of the reasons I brought him on board. He's a doer, not a talker, but I'm getting a little tired. I'm seeing this in the political papers and the news, you know, Republican folks running for office. Like, oh my gosh, we don't have a message. Again, you don't have a message. Are you, are you shitting me? Like for real? Like what about the borders? I put a little montage up in the beginning of the show. Borders effectively closed. Zero illegals admitted into the country for 13 straight months. Crime at rates we haven't seen since they started recording crime. Any one of these stories is a total game changer if it's a Democrat president. Third, manufacturing exploding in the United States. Exploding. You got electricians. building data centers, making a quarter million dollars a year, exploding all of these. You don't close borders, safe streets. We're building stuff again. Do we have to hand this to you on a silver platter? Like that's your message, bro. Run with it. You have a message. You just highlighted that we have the Republican side has a message where we are struggling is how to deliver that message. And I think that's that's the biggest issue is that can we put that message forward in a in a way that excites people? It's one thing to you know, I get excited about the border, but I want to put it put it out there in such a way like you do with your show, like I plan to do with mine. Edutainment, right? Make it fun. Nobody wants to get beat over the head with statistics all day long. They matter. Data matters. It all matters. But we got to put it out there in such a way that it excites people, because what we're running against is a bunch of folks right now who say everything's going to be free, even though you played it earlier this week. Abdul El-Sayed said it's not. I'm actually going to be free because you're going to pay more in taxes. So explain to me. I need somebody on the left to explain to me how if I'm going to pay more for something that it's also free at the same time. Usually free means I pay nothing. So if I'm paying more than what I'm currently paying, it clearly isn't free. It's actually more expensive. Right. So that that's that's the way numbers work. You know, but we have a message. There are accomplishments, as you just listed. The border is obviously the number one accomplishment, I think, of the administration thus far. Shrinking of the federal workforce. We say, oh, I thought jobs were a good thing. Well, not federal jobs. You know, go go back, go to the private industry, the private sector, all these you mentioned, the trades that are exploding. There's a demand now. Iowa is actually rolling out a workforce Pell program for people to learn useful skills, not gender studies. I always said I made a joke. I said if I was a sales team manager and hiring someone to sell a given product and someone said I got my degree in gender studies, I'm going to look at them and say, all right, cool. But how does that help you sell this thing? Now you get now what you can do since you told me that there's six different jobs. If I don't believe you by the end of your pitch, you're not hired. OK, that's it. If I don't believe there's six genders from a gender study major, you're not hired. So we have a demand now for trades because of the manufacturing boom in this country. You see these folks who aren't going to college, but they're going to trade schools are not coming out in massive debt. That's going to help the affordability issue for those folks. You know, you have a shrinking of the federal workforce. You've got the border, which is just about perfect. You do have deportations. I don't know where this op nonsense came from. That's not happening. Hundreds of thousands of people, 900,000, I think, was the latest number involuntarily deported. That's not counting the people who voluntarily left. And by the way, I don't care how you leave. Just leave. That's fine. Go. You remember the bars in New York? You don't have to go, but you can't stay here. Yeah. Closing time, right? It's closing time. You don't have to go home, which I don't care where you go. You just can't stay here. It's about the delivery of the message, though. And it's where because the Republican Party, the RNC, some of the super PACs, they have all this. Cash on hand. And I hear all about this cash on hand. And I want to see that invested properly. There are these huge, massive consulting firms. They go into these districts and they put the activists to shame. They put them they shame them and say, what you care about isn't what's polling nationally. I dealt with these people on the on Long Island when I was in New York. They told us not to talk about education. I said, really? That's how Bruce Blakeman won in Nassau County. That's how so many people won in Suffolk County was education. We knew what matters. I say pay your activists. Reach out to these colleges. Hey, you want to you want to you want a door knock for twenty dollars an hour for a couple hours a day. Those kids are going to get excited about things like that. Give them what they need. Give them give them a little bit of compensation. Bring them into the fold. Pay activists instead of these crazy consultants. Pay activists instead of these, you know, influencers that you think they're going to help you online. Put this money to work in the real world. You know, you can still do your mailers and your ads. But when we talk about the message, there are accomplishments. We just have to find a better delivery method. And I believe there's no better way. I mean, you could make a post on social media, get a million views, but you don't know who's real and who's not that saw that post. But I know for a fact, having done it and I love doing it when I knock on someone's door and I have that conversation with that voter, I know that's a real person. I know I'm making ground. I know I'm making headway with that person. And that's where I want to see the investments made. I want to see it made in genuine organic outreach so we could actually spread this message that we're talking about now to people who are going to be voting in the midterms. I think that'll make a big difference. And it'll it'll change a few things ahead of the 2026 midterms, I think, for sure. Yeah, I mean, I got to run. But door knocking, if you don't think it matters, you're absolutely out of your mind. I mean, we almost pulled off one of the biggest congressional upsets of all time with almost no money just purely by knocking on doors. I knocked on five thousand five hundred myself. My team knocked on fifty five thousand doors. We came within one point of a huge upset. It matters. And I'm telling you, it was a door knocking. It certainly wasn't the money.
