Yeah, dude, so I'm going to be heading out to this event on Thursday, June 11th at the Fillmore Miami Beach. That's one of those things. Hey, but now that you're here, why don't you come see me on June 11th at the Fillmore Miami beach with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Ben Shapiro, Adam Corolla and Jillian Michaels. Dave Rubin.com events. What is up, people? I'm Dave Rubin. That was a good crack. Yeah. This is the Rubin Report. It's May 27, 2026 and yes, that's right. Big show June 11th in Miami with the usual suspects and my good friends over at Prageru have done. They called me yesterday, they said, dave, let's do a little something here because we are donating some of the proceeds of the event to Prageru. Oh, and by the way, I just interviewed Dennis Prager last night. You guys know Dennis took a really horrific bill about a year and a half ago right after the election. And he is a quadriplegic, does not have really any movement beneath his neck, a tiny bit with his fingers just in the last few weeks actually. But I just interviewed him. We're putting it up, I think in a day or two. And it's just the guy is just. He literally might be the best human being I've ever met. So hang tight on that. Anyway, the Prageru guys contacted me yesterday. And they do want to help you guys out if you want to come to the show. So they are extending. We were doing a memorial 25% off discount on the tickets. The Prageru guys are now going to facilitate another 25% off so you can go to davrubin.com events. You click the button over there, it'll take you to Ticketmaster. And then it's a little confusing. I don't know why. This is something about the Internet. To redeem your discount, click the unlock button on the Ticketmaster page before selecting your tickets promo code. Pragerus. I think that basically makes sense. It's a little work, but I promise you it will be worth it. All right, we got a lot to do on the show today. It's a lot of lefty craziness. Some election results from yesterday that I think were pretty solid. And Trump's just continued run on win after win after win when it comes to endorsements. Do that and a few other things that will tie up together. But let's start with the most viral video by far yesterday, and it comes out of New York City. And this should not surprise anyone. I think if anything, I was only surprised when I saw this video that a certain set of people are still surprised by it. Zorhan Mamdami, Moron Zamboni, whatever you want to call him, he is a communist. He's not even a socialist. He is a communist. He wants full state government control over everything. He does not want private ownership. And he's coming in the way socialists. Ronald Reagan warned us when the socialists come, they will come with a smile. And that is what is happening right now. He's smiley. They slick his hair back nicely. They give him that lo fi music and soft lighting and all of those things. And he's ushering in the time tested worst ideas of all time. Here is example 32B. He gave a speech yesterday that soon they will be seizing the places you live. Enjoy. Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, nonprofits, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves. God, guys, there is so much to unpack here. This is what communism is. And why did Ronald Reagan say it would come with a smile? Because you can't sell state control over everybody's life with a grimace you better smile about it and they better think you're gonna do something really good for them. What do I always say about progressives? You know, they pretend to be nice and tolerant, but once you peel back that very thin veneer, you get something very authoritarian and usually something very nasty. So let's try to give the devil his due here. What he's trying to say is there are some bad landlords out there and there are buildings that have had, you know, let's say less than the best care might have water leaks, could have molded AC units that don't work. I lived in New York City for a while. There would be times in the winter where our boiler was out, like all kinds of stuff. I lived in crappy walk up buildings, all of that, pipes banging. I understand this stuff, right. I live through it. So is there something to be said about negligent landlords and would we like to have policies in place that encourage landlords to do proper upkeep and things of that nature? Yes. Now do we have those laws? Yeah, you're not allowed to be a negligent landlord and you get fined to oblivion. And if people are getting heat in the winter, you will be fined. And like there's already a series of rules, but there's never enough rules for these people. Right? So it sounds good, fix the city. But then he says, well, the next line literally is when necessary, they will take control. Now the issue is you're gonna have to really trust this guy that in the worst, let's say there's really just like the worst of the worst case there's a landlord somewhere that is offering no heat in the winter, they have no running water, there's roaches, whatever, all the worst stuff, when necessary, the government will come in. Now first off, you have to believe that his government will do anything good. That's one part. But let's say we could even get there on that. The issue is that the line of when necessary is going to keep moving. So yes, it might be that at the beginning they will start with the worst and the worst. But once you give these guys an inch, they're going to take a mile and eventually it'll be, oh, some landlord that didn't fix a light bulb. And oh, this problem lasted. You, you didn't get your place repainted the second he said it would and they will come in. You are giving up your autonomy. And the other problem, of course here is that the reason that many of these older buildings don't get fixed as quickly as you think that they should get fixed is because New York City has rent stabilization and rent control. So things are not even market price. So somebody got somebody who bought a building that can't even rent it for what true market value is. Because the apartment has been forced to be rent stabilized or rent controlled, they are less inclined to put more money into the building. And that's basic capitalism. Now the irony of course is that this guy hates capitalism. So he wants to create the conditions for capitalism actually to fail. Of course, he also wants to create conditions for people in a way that would be completely unacceptable for him and his family to live. I thought this was rather interesting from Lee Wan Kimby on X. A reminder that Zorhan and his family keep full ownership of this Ugandan luxury residence with armed security surrounding the neighborhood. Because everyone else is so poor. You know, I go away in every, every August. I wonder if they're renting that because that looks comparable to the type of place that I like to go. Put that back up again. That is pretty sweet. That's the Mamdhami residence in Uganda. Nice pool. Foliage looks quite nice. Armed security. He had his wedding there. It's really spectacular. But he wants full control. And guys, this is it. Do not be surprised. All these people, bright people I saw on X yesterday. Oh my God, he's doing it. Yeah, he promised to do it. We warned you about it and now it's happening. And you guys will have to decide whether you want to stay and be subjected to it. But just think about the signal, then I'll move on. Just think about the signal it's sending to people who might want to buy buildings in New York City, who might want to build future buildings, who might want to buy something, knock it down and create something new. You already are over regulated beyond belief. So building takes forever. You're already taxed beyond belief. You as the, as the builder, you're taxed and regulated. And then you personally. They've already created conditions that nothing will really be fixed. And then on top of it they're saying, oh, and by the way, you know, if you don't play ball with what our ever changing rules will be, because this is what they're really good at, we might just confiscate the building. Let's not forget, what was it a month ago he was talking about the 5 million Pied, the terror tax. And then suddenly Kathy Hochul was like, well, it'll probably be a million. So it never, the line never stops. That's the thing. There's never enough money for these people. Now, the counter to that is there are some people who know how to do a little something with money, and they are fleeing New York City rather rapidly. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has been very critical of Zorhan, hasn't fully moved. It's. It would be a behemoth of a move to get JP Morgan fully out of New York City. But there are things happening. And here he is warning Zorhan about communism because, you know, we're all in sixth grade. Every city has to compete, and they have to compete at every level. Arts, science, schools. That is what it is. I'm not inventing that. He can be an ideologue. He has to compete, too. He's got to compete with Shanghai and Hong Kong and Singapore and Nashville, and people vote with their feet. So it isn't this morality thing that people talk about. It's like, are you building a great city with lower crime and stuff like that? Yeah, that's a guy who understands the world kind of as it is. Like, what are you really doing to the cities? Orhan. So you can regulate it, and you can push out the builders and you can push out the creators, and you can tax all of the billionaires and millionaires. You can do all those things. You can promise to sell, confiscate property in the name of the people. Because he literally thinks he's bane from the dark night. Like, you can do all of those things. And in the end. Well, first off, as diamond pointed out, well, people can move to Nashville and they can move to Miami, but it's not. We now live in a world this isn't 100 years ago, like financial services and things that create wealth. We're now in competition with Shanghai. We're in competition with places all over the world, and you will destroy New York City. Now, the thing is, my belief, my 100% true belief, is that his goal is to destroy New York City and then usher in something far worse than communism. But let's put that aside for a moment. Interestingly, New York City, every week now, and almost more than weekly, they have these crazy jihad rallies, and people are running around with Hamas and Hezbollah flags, and they have the Kefiyan, and they look like terrorists, and sometimes they quite literally have fake suicide vests on and they're screaming about genocide, and they take over the streets and all of those things. And these are supposedly the nice, tolerant, decent lefties. Well, yesterday, outside of Gracie Mansion. Gracie Mansion, by the way, where he created a buffer zone so they can't actually get to Gracie Mansion, which is kind of interesting because Zorhan, one of the first things he did was veto a law that stopped people from getting right up to synagogues and churches because he wants people to. To be threatened. But when you come to Gracie Mansion, there's a buffer zone anyway. A whole bunch of people showed up with American flags, also Israeli flags, because they're not happy with this guy. And here's what a peaceful protest looks like. It's a throwback, a little old school stuff, you know, peaceful protest. Enjoy. Now, in Zorhan's world, those are the bad guys. Those are likely Americans that have lived in New York City probably for a long time. Jews have been in that city for a long time and really helped build that city. They're worried about what's going on there. Now, I would say at this point, if you're a Jew and you live that city, you should leave. If you're anyone with money, and it's not even about money, if you're anyone who values your life and what you earn and how you and your ability to create, you should probably get out. They're just coming for the Jews first, right? Like, that's the story as old as time. But they protested peacefully and quietly. Nothing will change, obviously, and he'll probably have agents that'll hunt them down. But, you know, New York, good luck with all of that. All right, let's leave New York for a moment and talk about Van Man. You know, a lot of people, guys, they've been talking about my moist lips. People are going, dave's moist lips. What is the deal? Well, Van man now sent me all the flavors. There's a lot of flavors. There's the original. We got. I think we got some kind of coconut. We got strawberry. We got all kinds. I can't even see without my glasses. But they're all good. And they will keep your lips moist. And it's not just that that Van Man's doing. They got the beef tallow, they got the pulling oil. 15 minutes of this in your mouth. I can't do it on camera right now. What? You're gonna do it. You're gonna pull oil right now, all right? Joseph's gonna pull oil right now for 15 minutes. You gotta swish that around. It's gonna get rid of the plaque. They got the tanning lotion, they got the mouth rinse. I could do the mouth no, but then I gotta spit it out. I can't do that on camera either. They got the under eye stuff, which I've been using. They really do have a bunch of great products. I'm not even gonna read the ad here. I really love this stuff. It's fresh, it's clean. The scents are good. I've been telling you about the soap. Like, the soap smells delicious. It's just, it really is good stuff, guys. And they have just great skincare and all of that, so. Visit Vanman, Shop, Rubin, use code Reuben for 15% off your first order. Vanman Shop, Rubin and Coderubin for 15% for your first order. You realize once you put that in your mouth, you're not gonna be able to speak for the next 15 minutes. And if I ask you a question accidentally, you're likely gonna choke. All right, we'll see what. You know what. So we'll see what happens. Okay, so this is an interesting one. You know, there's this guy, Hasan Piker. We've talked about him a bunch. He is the biggest streamer, influencer, whatever you want to call it, on the left. He's huge on Twitch, which is like, you know, really was originally like a video game streaming platform that then became mixed up with politics and everything else. This is a guy who's, you know, he's condoned Luigi Mangione shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brandon Thompson. He kind of excused the fact that Trump was almost assassinated just again a month ago at the White House Correspondents Dinner. We've shown you that video where he calls for or he tells people, you don't even need to suicide bomb anymore. You can go onto Chinese websites and buy drones. He's talked about blood in the streets. I mean, he's just an awful leftist lunatic who's being embraced. He's campaigning with all these people. He's campaigning with Ro Khanna. He's campaigning with Bernie Sanders and AOC and all these people. Well, now it appears that he has stepped into some deep Cuban doo doo. Listen to this from Fox. Federal officials have served subpoenas to Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker and codeping co founder Susan Medea Benjamin as part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba's communist regime. Fox News Digital has learned Piker and Benjamin are among those caught in a federal inquiry into whether activists who traveled to Cuba in March violated U.S. sanction laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island. The administrative subpoenas were sent to the pair by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. The administrative subpoenas called Requests for Information, or rfi, seek financial, logistical, and communications information revolving around trips the two widely bragged about making to the island in March with delegations of the Nuestra America convoy, our America convoy from a global network of communist sympathizers, activists, and influencers who brought supplies to the country's ruling Communist Party of Cuba, According to sources familiar with the matter. The investigation is part of a broader effort by officials at Treasury, State, and Justice Departments to curb malign foreign influence operations inside the United States, particularly activities tied to support for political violence, extremist movements, or acts the US Government classifies as terrorism. So this is extremely interesting because we covered this when he went there, and they went on this very weird sort of communist tourism thing, and they were on the Internet in the only hotel that had electricity, and they seemed to be giving away things on the streets, and he could really be in serious trouble. Look, regardless of your feelings about the Cuban regime or about our sanctions on them or anything else, you can't break American law. And if we have sanctions on a government or on a country, if you break the law, you break the law. And he's basically admitting it. He's admitting to it now. Here's one clip. Enjoy. I want to go to Cuba. Would you be down? I love Cuba. Oh, yeah, you'd be down. Yeah, I filmed the documentary. They. The Cuban government actually hit my contact from the embassy and told them that if the only thing stopping us from coming to Cuba was the consistent Internet access, we can make it happen. Yeah, Cuba is sick. Wait, like the government reached out to you, so. Yeah, yeah, of course it's. Well, not reach out to me. There's like, there's a middleman there. Oh, there's a middleman. The Cuban government hit up his contact. The government reached out to you? Well, there's a middleman. So he's basically admitting that he was working with the Cuban government. This is against American law. This isn't a very gray situation. That was obviously before he went to Cuba. Now here he is on a live stream, and you can just now look at the posturing and just everything about him. He realizes he's in trouble. And I'm not going to lie to you guys. It's. It's not great. The news is not great. Ok. I mean, it's bull, but still not great that, you know, they're after your boy. They're up my ass. All right. Well, you admitted that through an intermediary you were working with the communist government of Cuba, which is under sanctions. From the United States un You admitted it before you even went. That seems problematic, as you guys would say. And it's not bs, right? It's not. If I went to Cuba and did the same thing, I would be in trouble. So this has nothing to do with political leanings or anything else. Here he is saying that the real target is this guy Roy Singham, his name's Neville Roy Singham, who's CCP linked billionaire who's been funding a huge amount of the riots on our streets. And this is an interesting video because it's basically Hasan being like, I'm just a patsy here. Go for that guy. He's really rich. That's the big fish. I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to Answer Coalition to Co Pink. Like anything that he has ever financed. And it's not new, it's been, it's been around for a while, but it's obviously it's held through regardless because like, it's ridiculous, right? It's like totally ridiculous to, to try and you know, to try and stop like the political advocacy of an American citizen, right? No, buddy, we have laws and you're not allowed to do that. But it's interesting that he's mentioning and he's completely throwing the billionaire who has funded almost the entire progressive movement, he's throwing him under the bus, which is quite interesting. A bit more on Neville Roy Singerman, who is CCP linked billionaire. He's poured money into far left Marxist and Leninist groups like the People's Forum, which is a global operation that got in trouble in India for trying to overthrow the government. They have leaders like Manolo de los Santos and Claudia de la Cruz who have deep ties, deep Cuban government ties. And the group flies out. These are known facts. The group flies out radical activists down to Cuba to be trained by icap, run by convicted Cuban spy Fernando Gonzalez with handlers linked to the Cuban Embassy in Washington. So this is a foreign intelligence operation influencing American streets. So when you seeand it's deeply connected to all the Hamas stuff and everything else, when you see all of these riots and protests and they suddenly have all the same placards and they're handing out documents as to what you should do if you're arrested or they're chanting the same thing or they all know when to show up and where to show up, and then they suddenly don't show up the next day, it's because it's all highly coordinated and much of it, I mean, Asra Nomani wrote a great piece on foxnews.com in New York. Post has been covering this guy Singham for months now. We've read a couple headlines about it. He's the big fish here. But that does not excuse the fact that Hasan Piker broke our laws as it relates to communicating with a foreign communist government that is under sanctions. Michael Knowles had an interesting tweet about the video we just showed you. He wrote, most effective subpoena of all time. Piker opens up a single envelope, rats on all his comrades in a single breath. So we'll see. Look, I think, look, I mean, like cards on the table. I think he's a horrible human being. I worked with him at the Young Turks. He's a ball hog on the basketball court, which to me you should be deported for that if nothing else. But none of these people, none of the things, the bad ideas, the communism, the jihad, none of the stuff that they're pushing on us is organic. It is well funded. And this might be a first crack at us figuring out what really is going on here. And if we don't figure it out, they will win. So good luck to the people that are trying to uncover this lunacy. Let's talk about Lean for just a second and then we will move to some possibly saner things. To some extent, I think maybe kinda sorta. Everyone's talking about weight loss injections because the results can be dramatic. They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite.

I think something a little more normal with a less than normal reaction. How about that? You may have seen this video. Trump, a couple days ago was in New York giving one of his spe. He's getting back out on the stump, and I think he's feeling quite good right now. We'll have a bit more on what his endorsements are doing. And yes, he still has complete and utter airtight control over maga, but he gave a big speech rally up in New York, and he was introduced by New York Giants football player Jackson Dart. Here's the introduction. Then we'll show you the fallout. I'm grateful, I'm honored. I'm pleasured to introduce the first 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump. All right, so seems like a nice guy introduced the President of the United States. I think in a sane world, anyone, if you just got the call and they were like, excuse me, would you like to open up for the president? Maybe just say a line or two and you get to shake his hand. Most sane people would. Would say yes. However, the ladies of the View, Connor, we still don't have just like a warning and a beep, beep, beep, like if the nuclear site had been breached. Beep, beep, beep. You have 10 seconds to evacuate premises before I show the View clip. Can we do something like that for the future? We are going to show you now two clips of the View analyzing that. So the guy is the quarterback for the New York Giants, gets invited to open up for the President. You can see he's not even like an incredible public speaker. Just rings the President on. That's it. Hugs the guy, shakes his hand. And of course, here's Joy Behar explaining that he's obviously racist when he's on a team that's 55% to 60%. The NFL is that many people, that much percentage of black people. That that is just the definition of stupidity and racist. No. Bitch you. Sorry. I had to do it. I tried. I tried. You're racist. You are racist, Joy Behar. You are a miserable racist shrew. That's it. Do you think it's possible, Joy Behar, that he just thinks it's an. That he maybe likes Trump or he may be indifferent about Trump, Maybe he's maga. Who the hell knows? But he's the quarterback of the freaking Giants. And they called him and said, would you like to open up for Trump? And he said, yes. And it had nothing to do with racism. Or anything else. It's a freaking hell of an honor to be able to shake the President's hand in front of thousands of people. Right? That makes him racist because 55 to 60% of the Giants players are black. You know, that's interesting because you guys are also all about affirmative action. What percentage of Americans are black? 13. 13% of Americans are black. Yet somehow 55 to 60% of the new York Giants are black. Which I guess we gotta bust out some affirmative action and get some more. We need more white folks, football players. I've been saying it for years like you guys are racist. Just because he thinks something different than you doesn't mean he's racist. And the fact that you would even say that and now today, or it's not even football season right now, but like, you know, if the, if the football, they get back to the locker room, football season starts up, you know, they get to pre game in the summer and they're going to be in the Giants locker room in place. The first, the first thing the black players are gonna be asked is what do you think about your quarterback who opened up for Donald Trump? It's disgusting and gross and you're awful. And here's Sonny Hostin. Oh, you sure do need your offensive line to protect you. But the thing is, this was a choice and it was a political one. And you know, these, we're just not in normal times anymore for a certain community, the black community. For me, if this feels personal and I think if you are someone who attacks the community to which I belong and you support that, that tells me two things. Either one, you agree with his politics and you agree with his biases, or you can be adjacent to it. Stomach in it, stomach it. And that means you are complicit in my view. Yeah, yeah, you're complicit. Yeah, I guess you're complicit. Like in the 2018 State of the Union when Donald Trump talked about lowest all time black unemployment and the congressional black cauc sat there like this. Remember that? When they had their arms crossed and they wouldn't stand up and they wouldn't applaud, lowest all time black unemployment. I thought that they might. Before that. Donald Trump has done nothing racist. You are all racist. You're miserable shrews. That's what the show should be called. You know what, we're gonna do a bumper for now and it's just miserable shrews. And we'll have like horrific shrieking and you know, They're all, imagine that's what they were all like without makeup and lighting. I can't take it. You know, it's funny. I'm the boss around here. I'm the one that chooses the clips. It's weird. It's weird. It really is weird. All right, one more from the View, but it's barely about the View. They brought on this douchebag. I'm just going for it today. Chris Murphy, he's another Democrat. He. He's not the worst of the worst, but he's like 90% there. And here he is. At first, it sounds like he's sort of complimenting maga, and then, of course, you know where it goes. Trump, frankly, has done a better job than Democrats of speaking to people about the way they feel powerless today, the way they feel lonely and adrift. Maga, whether you like it or not, is a place where people find community. It's a divisive, hateful community. But you almost had it. You almost had it. MAGA is a place where people find community. And I've been to a lot of these rallies, and you get the widest swath of interesting people you can possibly imagine. It's not a hateful and divisive community. You guys. You guys are hateful and divisive. You sit up there. We're the good guys. We're the good guys. Everyone else is racist, and we're the good guys. And all you spew all day long is endless bile and trash at more than half the country for pushing back on your nonsense. And, yeah, we just sit there. Yeah, it is. It is. And again, the worst. You know, it's so easy. Yeah. Is Joy Behar just a miserable shrew? Yes. Is Sunny Hostin the most racist person on television? Yes. But the worst one, in a weird way, is Alyssa Farah, because she's supposed to be the conservative, and they literally just pet her on the. Here's your cookie. Here's your carb. Free cookie. Sit here and you'll cash the check and you'll pretend to be a conservative. Okay? Like selling your soul, lady. Here's Dana White explaining that. Well, to this, another one of these just leftist loser morons. I'm sorry, guys, I'm just in it today. I don't know why. This is David Remnick from the New Yorker. Just another one of these ac. Asexual, pathetic, lefty. Here's Dana White telling him that Donald Trump is not racist. First of all, I became friends with this guy, never even imagining that he would be the President of the United States someday. Right? And if he was that type of person, I would never associate with that type of a person, no matter who he was or who he thinks he is. He's not a racist. He's not a fascist. He loves this country. And if you're an American, race, religion, whatever it is, President Trump is on your team, that I guarantee. You know what's interesting? Remember years ago, I don't know, was this 2016, 17, when Donald Trump, I think he literally said, I'm the least racist person on the planet in a weird. And it sort of sounded ridiculous. It's kind of a ridiculous thing to say in some sense, but in another way, it actually is, right? Donald Trump does not care. He likes success, and he wants to create the conditions so all people can succeed. I believe Dana White, that Dana White would not be friends with someone who was a racist. I've been around Trump, and I've certainly been around his kids and family. And these are not racist people. I've been around them when they've been around black people. It's been rather extraordinary. It's just like I've seen black people on planes. It's incredible what's out there. If you just go out there and touch grass, people. But that's all they've got, and they're still doing it, and they're still tricking people. How many times can you be tricked? George Bush fool me once. I don't get fooled. But the thing is, no matter what they throw at Trump right now, he still has complete control of maga. And I think there is. There is some legitimate concern about where some of the independents are going right now, and Trump's going to have to work on that. And you know, my feelings about July 4th and wrapping up the Iran war and expansion of Abraham Accords and some economic things that I think will turn for the better. And gas prices are already going down, but he's got some work to do. But his endorsements are just crushing it across the board. The big one yesterday was there was a Republican primary in Texas. And while we all think of Texas, you know, I'm watching Landman, which is actually pretty decent. We all think of Texas as a bunch of guys in cowboy hats and oil and that they're like real people who have a certain set of values and like, it's America kind of at its best. But Texas is a little more split than we might think. Again, I always bring up that Ted Cruz only beat Beto o', Rourke, who is a furry lefty lunatic, by, I think, 2.3 points. Or something a couple years back. So it is a little more divided than we might want it to be. There was a pretty heated contested Republican primary where eventually Trump just in the last couple days, did endorse Ken Paxton. And Ken Paxton did win. Here's truth. Here's Trump on truth. Congratulations to Ken Paxton on such a tremendous win and to John Cornyn for having a strong and powerful race, but more importantly, having a truly great career. Career. Having had a truly great career. John will remain my friend for a long time to come as we both watch Ken become a fantastic common sense senator, one who is respected by all. His opponent, Alfred E. Newman, maybe the worst Texas candidate I've ever seen. A strong open borders advocate, he is weak on crime, believes there are six genders, is insulting to Jesus Christ, will never support the military, was a big mask wearer until recently, and is a vegan who dislikes me. Not exactly a good way to be if you're wanting to win an election in Texas. Jasmine Crockett, a very low IQ individual who is no relation to the legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett, would have been a far better choice for the Democrats. I will do some nice big, beautiful rallies for Ken. Texas. This will be fun. God bless America. Is that one of his best? I'm a little punch drunk today or something, but that might be one of his best ever. Here is from Fox explaining we'll have more on Ken Paxton in just a second, but here's Fox's Bill Hemmer explaining that if Trump endorses you, you will not lose. And there's just overwhelming evidence for it at this point. The President has gotten involved in many races. I want to be very specific about the language here on the federal level talking about governor's races, House races and Senate races. This is his scorecard, okay? He has endorsed eight governors. Now, some of these races weren't real close, didn't have a lot of competition, but some of them did. I mean, we saw what happened in Louisiana, the primary with Bill Cassidy. We saw what happened a week ago tonight with Tom Massie in Kentucky. And now we're seeing it again tonight. Okay. In Texas, governor level, Trump endorsed eight. He won eight times. U.S. house 101 endorsed. He won. Yeah, sorry, 101 endorsed in the House and he won 101. Let me put on the pencil right here and show you this. U.S. senate, Sean. He has endorsed a candidate and prior to tonight he had won eight times. And now you can take the endorsement from eight to nine endorsed. And from eight to nine winner Ken Paxton was outspent nine to one, got the endorsement from Trump, got the endorsement of Wesley Hunt, the congressman who got knocked out two and a half months ago. And now we got the setup in Paxton of Telarico. I'm not a mathematician, guys, but I did some basic math here. 9 8 101. So 9 8, 17. 17 101 is 118. The guy is on a tear. And, you know, it's so interesting because, you know, obviously The Thomas Massie Kentucky 4 race got very, very heated. And all of these people are suddenly like, massie loses. Or once Massey lost, they were like, trump's going to lose control of the base and everything else. And there's simply no evidence for it. Perhaps Massie shouldn't have been calling Trump a pedophile and everything else. But now Ken Paxton will face this guy, James Talarico. Now, Talarico, we've shown you a lot of videos of this guy. He really. He's radical lefty, and as Trump pointed out, he beat Jasmine Crockett. So think how crazy to the left bananas Jasmine Crockett has been and Lady Eyelashes, all the videos we've shown of you, of her in the last year. And he was further to the left. And that's what the Democrats in Texas chose. So that's who Ken Paxton is going up against. Here is Ken Paxton at his victory celebration with. Well, reading. Well, how do we put this? He's reading a script about Talarico. And Paxton is not the most inspiring candidate ever. Will he be a decent senator? Probably, yes. Will he win? Probably, yes. The guy's not, you know, he's not Frank Sinatra at the mic, let's put it that way. My opponent is the most extreme radical the Democrats have ever nominated. He's even running a vegan campaign, whatever that is. He goes by a few names that you may all have heard of. Some people know him as Tofu Talarico. Some people call him Six Gender Jimmy. I've even heard some people call him James Talafrico. And others refer to him simply as Low T Talarico. Okay, look, it is what it is. He's running as the Republican he needs to win. And is he the most, like, enigmatic, exciting guy ever? Obviously not. He's gonna have to level up in some of that stuff. Like, he can't. Trump is good at those things because they're natural to him. Men off the cuff. And he just comes up with these things and it feels right. It doesn't quite feel right. For this guy. So they'll have to figure that out. But at the end of the day, what this is about is which way will Texas go? And if Texas was ever to go blue at this point, in some sense, that's the end of America. Really. I don't think that's. That's over the top to say, here is his opponent, James Talarico, on the fight that they are about to have. And so they're going to throw everything they've got at us. They're going to dig up all kinds of old statements, take them out of context and try to paint them in the worst possible light because this is the only playbook they have in 2026. Oh, so they're going to take old statements and put them in the worst possible light. Well, here's a tweet from his. In 2020, you tell me if they need to to put this in the worst possible light. White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus, but we spread it wherever we go through our words, our actions and our systems. We don't have to be showing symptoms like a white hood or a Confederate flag to be contagious. Connor, as the whitest guy in the room, do you sign on to this? Have you been. Been spreading the. You have not been. You have not been because you're a little tanner here in Florida. That's right. Like that's psychotic lunacy. That statement is so profoundly absurd that someone. It is racism in its core that the color of your skin means you are condemned somehow. So it doesn't matter what your actions are. It doesn't matter whether you wear the hood of the KKK or you're a good behaving progressive lefty who gets the cookie and patted on the head. Doesn't matter which one you are. By being white, you are inherently bad. So they're not gonna have to do much of a lift to figure out this guy's his bad ideas. You know, he did this thing about Jesus being trans. He's talked about six genders. Like every ridiculous thing you can come up with is summed up in this guy. So look, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you the cat Paxton is like some all star candidate, but everybody better rally around this guy and fast. Here's Scott Jennings dissecting a little of the brainless analysis of DNC surrogate. Her name is Shaktili Hinodjasa. I don't know. And pointing out that the crazy leftist positions that Talarico takes are just not what the Average Texan cares about. Talarico is well funded. Talarico will continue to raise money. But it's interesting to me that now Republicans have to worry about deep red Texas because they have a flawed candidate who does not know how to raise. And you're now seeing that currently play out. All these analysis of this race is sort of the differences between what a corn in or a Paxton would look like. Here I'm thinking about the differences between Talarico and literally every other Texan. Don't know any Texans who believe in six genders other than Talarico. Don't know any Texans who said it's immoral to eat meat other than Talarico. Don't know any Texans who walk around saying things, you know, God is non binary. You all are both Texans. Do you know any other Texan who even talks like that? Issues aside, who says these things out loud? Yeah, and that's the point. Look, there is no too far for these people, right? I always say it. Jordan Peterson for years was asking, he was quite literally going to D.C. and asking Democrats, can any of you point out when the left goes too far? And he could never get a straight up answer on that. And we're seeing the fruits of that now. Well, look at the video we started today's show with. They are full on communists talking about seizing property in the name of goodness in New York City. Right. So are there average Texans that believe in like, is there some portion. Yes. And keep Austin weird. And Austin is weird and that's where all the homeless people and the drugs are. Is there some support for this Talarico guy on these ideas? Yeah, and then there are a certain set of people that are just Trump deranged no matter what. So elections are just going to be closer than they should be, I'll grant you that. But do you think the average tech, the average Texan. Barbecue in Texas. Big churches everywhere in Texas. Cowboy hats in Texas. Oil in Texas, Dallas cowboys in Texas. You think they're into this? I don't think so. So we will see what happens with this crazy leftist. And what I would say is just a probably a very average Republican who maybe should just, you know, maybe he just needs like a little. Maybe he needs mars men or something. He just needs a little boost of something. I don't know. Of course this is happening all over the country. And what's interesting and this I think is a white pill, guys, is that as the lefties go crazier and crazier, so it's six genders and God is trans, or whatever Talarico's saying. Or we're gonna seize private property, which is coming out of New York, or, you know, I don't know, we're not gonna have water in our reservoir when we're having these crazy Santa Ana winds. And we might burn down the entire Pacific Palisades in la. The radicalness of the lefties and, oh, plus the support for terrorism and genocide and all that stuff, the radicalness of them is just pushing basically all of the people who are not necessarily Republicans. It's what MAGA is. It's pushing all of the kind of sane people who think the country is decent together. And that's what a lot of these cities are now going to have to figure out. So I want to throw back for just a second to where we started with New York City seizing private property. When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Okay, I don't have to analyze it again, you get the point. The line will always keep moving and before you know it, there will be no private ownership and you will own nothing and be happy. This is exactly what the globalists have been telling us they wanted to do for the last 10 years. So you can go that way. New York City, you've made your choice. And as I keep saying, for all the Jamie Dimons and all of the other rich guys who are having private meetings with him or figuring out what to do, get out now. Do not help him extend or fake the ability for this thing to work. Get out while you can. And if you're in la, you better vote for Spencer Pratt or eventually they will burn down your house in the Hollywood Hills too. It won't just be that the Pacific Palisades will have burned down because of Santa Ana winds. It is that the homeless super meth drug addicts will literally light the hills on fire. So you can choose either a mom dummy type, the government will seize private property, or a guy who in new. In la, who didn't really want to be in politics, got smacked in the face with liberal reality. And here he is. You're a man of faith. Your wife is a woman of faith. How has it, you know, carried you through? This is all because of God. Everything that's going on right now, I'm only about to be the mayor because clearly this is God's plan, period. When I lost everything and I was at zero and my parents and I was so didn't understand why would God do this? And now here I see, oh, I can save so many communities from burning down. I can save so many people from dying of drug addiction in the streets. I can bring LA back to a glowing, beautiful healing city that is so powerful. Like okay, I see, I see your purpose for me God. So I just pray and I and locked in. So it's fairly obvious like even for those of you that maybe aren't religious or let's say you want to remove the God part is sort of what is he's in essence saying this is now my personal quest. Right? But if he believes that he's now on a mission because of the things that have happened to him and it's sort of woke up something him, that's one part. But let's just what could that do? Well at a secular level, purely like a government level level, he could do the things that would allow LA not to be burned down or not to have naked messed up lunatics with swastikas running down the streets, etc. Etc. So the mission from God in this case could lead him to cleaning up a city that is pretty freakin godless and that would probably be good. So I would say that right there is a microcosm for where the whole country is at and we will all have to to make our choices accordingly.
