I'm sitting in my car this weekend at church for a different thing. I had to bring my daughter by the church, and I'm waiting for her to finish up with her event. She was doing some. Some charity stuff. And. And I'm sitting there in the car banging out a little bit of work on the laptop, and I'm watching simultaneously, I'm watching the hockey game. I'm watching. This is early Sunday morning, of course, watching this hockey game, and I can't stop, man. There's like these. These crazy, crazy moments all throughout the game, including at one point, the American men are down to a 5, 3 power play where there's just three Americans skating around the ice trying to stop five Canadians from scoring on goal. I'm like, my God. I'm, like, gripping my face during this. And the Americans crushed it. They absolutely crushed it all the way through to overtime, which is coincidentally the same way the women beat Canada last week in their overtime matchup. Here, the men winning gold in overtime against the Canadians. And for the Canadians, hockey is church. Watch this behind the net. And it's Morenski. Now Jack Hughes puts it around the car.
Jack Hughes
United States with numbers black, across it comes.
Donald J. Trump
Jack Hughes wins it.
Vince C.
The golden goal for the United States. For the first time since the 1980 miracle, the United States takes the gold.
Donald J. Trump
Jack Hughes beating Jordan.
Vince C.
Finish it. Yes, baby. Yes, baby. Yes, baby. Look at those guys. I'm. I'm chanting in the car. I'm by myself.
Bernie Sanders
You.
Vince C.
You just screaming in the car. Oh my goodness. It was such a nice feeling. It was such a nice feeling. You know, I mean it really is. Isn't sport great? Isn't sport great? You know, one of the things like, about, about athletics is like, yes, like sometimes like especially in the. You get a long season, it feels like a slog. You're constantly working for something but to finally make it to the very end. This is the culmination of these guys careers as they make it to the Olympics. They win a gold medal. They fought for this all their life. And here they are finally achieving it. And you can feel the utter joy that, that they're demonstrating. I feel it back here in the United States. And then to watch these Canadians are being like completely shattered by the experience. How do the Americans win this thing? It brought me more joy. It was just, it's just perfect. It's just absolutely perfect. I get it. Not everybody's into sports. But you can tell why people love them. They're that good. And man, those guys had a hard fought game. They, they crushed it. They crushed it. Jack Hughes, who scored that winning goal in overtime, he lost his teeth during the game. He got his teeth knocked out. He took a stick to the face and crushed, crushed the front of his teeth. And he's bleeding. His teeth are not in his mouth anymore. And here he is talking about how much he loves America. Watch.
Jack Hughes
This is all about our country right now. I love the usa. I love my teammates. It's unbelievable. The USA Hockey brotherhood is so strong and we have so much support from ex players. And I'm so proud to be American today.
Vince C.
It's proud. This was such an incredible game to grind out. I mean you're bleeding right through it just looking at you right now. Can you just talk about how difficult this gold medal was to win?
Jack Hughes
Unbelievable game by Hellbuck. He was our best player tonight by a mile. Game unreal game by our team. That's just a ballsy, gutsy win. That's American hockey right there. That's a great Canadian team. But we're usa. We're so proud to be Americans. Tonight was all for the country.
Vince C.
What does this gold medal mean to USA Hockey?
Jack Hughes
It's everything. Like I said, the USA Hockey brotherhood means so much. Look at these guys. We're such a team. We've been together for two weeks. We're such a team. The USA Hockey brotherhood is so strong and we're so proud to win for our country.
Vince C.
God, it's so American. It's unbelievable, actually. This guy is unreal. The guy, he gets his teeth knocked out, scores the game winning goal. His first interview. He can't stop talking about how much he loves the country. This is. I mean, it's just amazing. It's just amazing. Now contrast that, of course, with, like the idiots who've gone overseas and were like, you know, be like, well, I don't know. I really agree with the country right now. I don't. I have disagreements with the administration, and just because I'm wearing the American flag doesn't mean I support every. Oh, shut up. Do what this guy's doing. Do what Jack Hughes did. I love this country. This is a win for America, and I'm so proud that I can be involved in it. Just amazing American flags in the chat, ladies and gentlemen, I see them. They're in right now in the live chat. Rumble.com. people got to have American flags going like crazy. Please light this up with red, white, and blue, please. I want to see if Rumble servers can handle the American flags. Let me add some myself. Here we go. Look at this. Boom, boom. I'm just crashing it. Oh, I got Rumble told me I sent too many messages. Sorry about that. I sent too many messages too fast. Look at that. Just a wall of our Star Spangled Banner. Look at that. Beautiful. Thank you. Can Rumble servers handle this many American flags? We're going to test it, and I think we're succeeding. It's amazing. American flags, baby. Yeah. No, that. What an amazing remarks by Jack Hughes. That's not media training or anything. Like, when you go in there, talk about the country, that was just him speaking from the heart. You can feel it. You can feel it. And then, of course, the moment that I was waiting for after the game, to see our boys listen to our national anthem and to sing along. Watch. Here they go. Yeah, baby. Yes. Yes. You hear that stadium, by the way? I don't know how many Americans showed up to that game, but I could hear them all throughout the game chanting their asses off. Just you. I mean, they were going wild during this game in Italy. Oh, God. We live in a great country. That was so satisfying. So completely satisfying. Now, in the midst of all this, not only are we celebrating back home, but this is. Here's the. Here are the developments overnight, which I'm loving. You know that our FBI director, Cash Patel, was there. He was in the building. He was actually at the game. And he got to spend some time with the team afterwards, celebrating with them, which is awesome. Was super awesome. Now, why Is the FBI director there? Well, two reasons. One, the FBI specifically helps to provide protection to the athletes and the events wherever they're happening on the planet. So the FBI actually has a security role in the Olympics. Additionally, we have the Olympics coming. The Summer Olympics is coming to the United States in LA in two years. So should the FBI be aware of how you conduct security for the Olympic Games when you're the host country? Yeah, you're damn right they should. So Cash Patel overseas, there's a legitimate business purpose to that. Also, I want you to remember something about Cash. The guy's a hockey player. The guy plays beer league hockey. He. He still plays to this day. He plays like crazy. Loves hockey. Huge fan of it. And here he is, kind of able to marry all of these things together. Hanging out with the hockey team, celebrating with them. And this. This morning, ladies and gentlemen, is a huge scandal. On the left they are. The fun police are on the move. They're very upset that Cash Patel is having a good time. They're actually furious about it. You ready to see somebody having the time of his freaking life? Here's Cash Patel throwing down beers with the USA men's hockey team. Watch this. He's got the gold medal around his neck. Them started raining a bell in the fields like the whole wild world is raining down on you. I brought to you courtesy of the red, white and blue. So that's Cash. He's hanging out with the team. This is such a great time. And look at this. Carol Lanig. This woman is. I think she's former Washington Post now. Oh, still Washington post. She's with Ms. Now in the Washington Post, and here's what she says this morning. Yes, Multiple sources have sent me and Ken Delaney and Fusion. Ken, this video appearing to show. Appearing to show it could be AI FBI Director Cash Patel guzzling from a beer and partying in a locker room with the US Men's hockey team. His office insisted this was strictly a business trip. We at Ms. Now will share what we learn. Yes, please, please, by all means, share what you learned. So funny. And she's not alone. These lunatics are all super upset that Cash Patel was having the best damn time imaginable hanging out with the U.S. men's hockey team after their great victory, their historic victory. It's a great thing for our country. And there's Cash Patel. How cool is that? And if they were pissed about that, wait until they find out how President Trump got involved last night. Because here's President Trump calling on Cash Patel's cell Phone the US Men's hockey team in order to celebrate their victory last night. Watch this.
Donald J. Trump
And by the way, you, goalie played not bad.
Vince C.
How you say hi to him?
Donald J. Trump
How you doing? I have seen hockey goalies have slightly
Vince C.
worse games than you.
Donald J. Trump
Unbelievable. And you were all unbelievable. And, and that team is pretty good.
Local Sheriff
You played.
Donald J. Trump
I don't know if we get anytime soon.
Sean Farish (Impersonating Trump)
Right.
Donald J. Trump
You know, I tell you what I just told my people two minutes ago. I didn't know they'd be calling. I said we're giving the State of the union speech on Tuesday night. I could send a military plane or something. But if few would like to. It's the, it's the coolest night. It's the biggest.
Vince C.
We're in. Can you pick, can you pick us up in Miami on Tuesday morning?
Donald J. Trump
We'll get cash and we'll get the military to get you guys over.
Vince C.
Boys are going to the State of the Union.
Donald J. Trump
The nice thing about being president, as I can tell you, year after worry about the weather or land.
Vince C.
The president of the United States just extended an invitation to the whole US Men's hockey team to come to the State of the Union. Cash Patel promising in this clip. I got it, Mr. President. I'll get the boys there. The hockey team is showing up and the president even says in the, in that clip which goes on, he keeps talking to these guys that of course that he's also inviting the women's team, the women who just won the gold last week, also against Canada, also in overtime. Also welcome to the State of the Union. And you might be wondering, but Vince, is it possible to fit them in the State of the Union? There's only so many seats inside of that room. Yes, and here's why. Because Adam Schiff is not going to be there. Because a bunch of these Democrats are all boycotting the State of the Union. Isn't it amazing? What a great sequence of events. All these Democrats are refusing to show up at the State of the Union, which means we have a lot of extra seats. Excellent. We can put our gold medal winning hockey teams in those seats in order to celebrate our country. The president rushing to get everybody back. This is so I. We live in the absolute best timeline, don't we? We live in the absolute best timeline. And you know, one of the, the whole, most hilarious things about trying to turn Cash Patel hanging out with the, with the hockey team into a scandal is can I just remind you of what the Biden scandals looked like? I'm sorry. For those of you who are watching on rumble.com Vince, your eyes are about to be singed. But this is what it looked like during the Biden era. Do you remember this? I just put this up on X today, fellas. I can't believe Cash drank a beer with Team usa. And then look at that. The Afghanistan withdrawal, people dying, falling off of airplanes, inflation gets to 9%. Sam Brinton is stealing women's luggage. Some whack job dude who puts bolt ons on his chest, goes to the back of the White House the the South Lawn and then takes his shirt off and poses topless while Biden was in office. Remember when Biden got like thrown out of the presidential race by his own party? Remember when Biden kicked our borders open and then people were coming into the country just by the millions? Remember when a bunch of Democrats were banging each other inside of a Senate hearing room? Oh my goodness. Mar a lago rated. Do you remember all this stuff? Do you remember Admiral, Admiral Rachel Levine? The fake admiral, the fake woman. Combination of fake everything in the Biden administration. Remember the cocaine in the White House. You want to talk about scandals? Like let's. You want to talk scandals with me? I like Trump scandals. Trump's even made American scandals great again. If you want to call Cash Patel going to watch a great American team win a great American victory a scandal. Okay, I like our scandals now. They're a lot better. They're a lot better. All right, in a moment I've got more for you, including a word from our friend Sean Farish celebrating the victory of these men overseas. Just amazing work. Just amazing work.

So the president, of course, you heard him congratulating Team USA a moment ago. And then there is the man who excels at impersonating the President of the United States. Also celebrating Team usa, our buddy Sean Farish. Take a look.
Sean Farish (Impersonating Trump)
This is your favorite president. And I just wanted to congratulate Team USA Hockey on their gold medal victory over Canada, or as I like to call them, snow Mexico. But I got off the phone with Prime Minister Carney and she's very upset about it. She's not happy about it, but she'll get over it. I told her, quiet, piggy, shut the Tkachuk up and be quiet because the winners are here. You look at the Tkachuk brothers, they did a fantastic job. You look at. I get along very well with him, Connor Hellebuck, and he did a tremendous job. You know, he's a. They call him a net minder, I call him a goalie, but he did a fantastic job in net. The only thing more secure than Conor Hellebuk is southern border. It's a tremendous border. Nothing gets through. And Conor Ellebukh was fantastic. Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes. They say you don't know Jack. I know Jack very well. And he scored the game winning goal. It was a beautiful shot. Nobody's ever seen a better shot before. It was a tremendous shot, but our team won. You know, you look at it, Canada's French came out at the wrong time. You never want to go full French because once you do, it means you're going to lose. And that's what happened to Canada. Poor Snow, Mexico. And they're all very upset about it. But congratulations to Team USA on the gold. We love gold. Nobody loves gold as much as I do. We're going to tariff Canada's silver medals at 25%. The Supreme Court can chew on that. And to Canada. First, we took your sport. Next we may take your country if we want to do that. Congratulations, Team usa. God bless America and thank you for your attention to this matter.
Vince C.
Oh, we love our attention to this matter. Thank you. Sean Farish. It's so fantastic. The guy's. The guy is so completely talented. Not Only great at the voice, just great at the, the actual writing. He's such a smart comedian. It's hilarious. Okay, you heard Sean mention a moment ago, tariffs, tariffs, which is a perfect segue to our next topic, which is what happened in the United States Supreme Court on Friday. As I was as, as we came out of the podcast Friday morning and as we were heading into the big national radio show, I see the Supreme Court decision come through. In a 6, 3 decision, the Supreme Court said the President is not allowed to impose tariffs using a specific law the President's been using to apply tariffs. That law, AIPA iipa, which is the Emergency Powers Laws, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. And The Supreme Court 6, 3 decision says you can't do this. Now, the three justices who dissented in the 6, 3 decision were justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh. Surprising anybody? I don't think so. That makes sense. That makes sense. And the second you see those three together, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, you should conclude what I conclude, which is those guys are right, everybody else is wrong. Everybody else is wrong. If you're on Katanji Brown Jackson's side of this equation, I'm sorry, you're tragically wrong because she's tragically stupid in a 6, 3 decision. So Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, they all say, now the President does have the power to do this specifically, and I won't dive fully into the back and forth of the opinion, but I will say something very straightforward. The three justices who dissented pointed out that under ipa, under this law, the President has the power to either shut off our trade with another country entirely and say, nope, we have a full blown embargo on that country, or turn it on entirely. So if the options are and turn it on and you can shut it off, well, then how come you can't adjust it? I saw it on Sean Davis's X account last week. He pointed out, he's like, well, wait a second. So you can turn the air conditioning on, you can turn it off, but you're not allowed to change the temperature? That's what the Supreme Court is saying. And the President is saying the same thing, which is like, wait a second, you're telling me I can't impose a lesser consequence like a tariff? I can only fully shut down trade to the country. Does that make any sense? No, it doesn't make any sense. So as, so what we learn here is that the President clearly has this power according to the very smart dissent but he's being stopped by the United States Supreme Court from using it right now. So where does that leave us? Well, the president has other options. In fact, in the Kavanaugh written dissent here, he says, look, this is like, wide open. The president has a lot of options here. He said he disagrees with the court's holding. But this might not actually really get in the way of the president to impose tariffs going forward because we've got other laws. We don't need IPA. We've got the Trade Expansion act of 1962, the Trade act of 1974, the Tariff act of 1930. In other words, the president, according to the court, merely checked the wrong statutory box, says Brett Kavanaugh, rather than another statute to impose the tariffs. The president, hearing this message loud and clear, being aware of what his options are, clearly the White House was ready for this. They decided to move quickly on Friday. They wasted no time. And in fact, they just levied tariffs on everybody under a different law immediately. Here's the president cut 10, announcing what he did.
Donald J. Trump
Therefore, effective immediately, all national security tariffs under section 232 and existing section 301 tariffs. They're existing, they're there. Remain in place, fully in place and in full force and effect. Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged. And we're also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies. Thank you for your attention
Vince C.
to this matter. There you go. There's the President of the United States and saying, no, we're not stopping. These tariffs are getting slapped right back on. Don't you worry. We've got it all figured out, which is great news because the tariffs have been an epic success. Why do tariffs work, exactly? Why is it that tariffs have worked even in the face of people who thought they wouldn't, who said, don't do this, Mr. President, this will be a bad idea. It's gonna hurt Americans. Well, it hasn't. What has happened to our inflation rate? It's gone down dramatically since Trump has been in office. What has happened to real wages in the United States? They've gone up. What's happened to the private sector? Jobs have gone up. What's happened to government jobs? Well, President Trump fired over 300,000 people. He shrunk the government, the federal government, by 10%. That's massive. That's a huge thing. And those trade barriers, the tariffs, remember where we were when President Trump comes into office. We have countries all across the planet who've been waging trade wars against us and we haven't defended ourselves for decades. President Trump decided to finally defend us. It wasn't an offensive action by the President, it was a defensive action. And by imposing those tariffs, by creating some leverage in a negotiation, what happened immediately? Well, countries started lining up at doors to the to the White House and begging for a meeting with the President of the United States. And what has the President been able to secure out of that? Tens of trillions of dollars of brand new investment to the United States. That would have never happened were it not for the President wielding the levers that that is at his disposal as the President of the United States. He's very smartly using tariffs as a means to negotiate better deals for us. Now, one of the hilarious criticisms here from the left is like, oh, terrorists are attacks on consumers. It's funny how they suddenly have this realization that when the government imposes fees that very often they're or taxes, they're very often passed on to consumers. That's true. When the left wants to impose a huge corporate tax increase, by the way, consumers gonna have to bear some to all of the burden of that tax increase. So taxing the big guy ends up hurting the little guy. But when it comes to tariffs, it turns out it's even more dynamic than that. The reality is most of the companies who've had to pay tariffs in order to import products in order to stay competitive in the American market, they haven't actually passed the costs of those tariffs off onto consumers. Economic studies have shown time and time and time again that price increases have actually been very subtle as a result of the, of the tariffs, if at all. So it's been fascinating to watch. The President's been using a power that he says has not really been flexed to the extent that it should have been since President McKinley. And the president has been generating revenue for the U.S. treasury as a result of this action as well, massive amounts of money. So my advice to all of these naysayers is let him cook. The guy knows what he's doing. And in the meantime, if people are going to try and level new lawsuits against the President to try and stop him again using these other statute statutory authorities that he's now relying on to impose tariffs, you know what's going to happen here at least at the bare minimum. Now we start the clock again. Now these people are going to need another 9, 10, 11, 12 months in order to put the brakes on President Trump's success in using the court process to get it all the way to the United States Supreme Court. In other words, the president can use the tariffs successfully to our benefit. He's not doing. What is he doing it for if not our benefit? It's not like he's being enriched by a tariff regime. The tariffs are for us. He can continue to use them now through the midterms. You want to make a great case for why your party deserves more numbers in the House and the Senate succeed in the economy and the president staying in that fight. Very cool to see. And I'm not surprised at all that the White House was able to respond like that because they were ready for this. I mean, they saw the oral arguments, they knew what was happening in the court. They knew where this thing was likely headed. And they got a great opinion from the dissent from those three great justices, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh. And then they had a great strategy ready to go with the commerce Secretary, the trade representative, everybody involved, all immediately moving to impose these tariffs, just using a different law to do it. It's great. Let him cook. Let him cook. All right. More in a moment. I want to get into a man shows up with a shotgun at Mar a Lago and then points it directly at law enforcement. That's a good way to get that. And that's what happened. We'll explore what happened this weekend coming up on this edition of this. Let's see. I've got a lot of, got a lot of stuff going on. Oh, we were just talking about the State of the Union a moment ago. Let's talk about Kalshee for a moment. Kalshee, great sponsor of our program. You know, I like Koshi. I like checking the odds on, like, things that are happening on planet Earth. What's the likeliness that that's going to occur? Well, Kalshee is really good at helping us do that. Take a look at this. Here's, here's Couch. I'll move my, my image up, boys, so it's not blocking the banner. Who will attend the State of the Union address? Look at that. That's an interesting question. Who's going to attend? And here are the guesses. Kalsha's got George Santos. What? George, a former member of Congress, is at 58% right now. Is there some reporting that George Santos is going to go? Why would George Santos be at the State of the Union anyway? Maybe Al Green. That's a question mark. That's the Democrat, Al Green, 54% chance that he'll be there. Remember, he was the guy last year who disrupted the State of the Union by acting like an emotionally incontinent psychopath. Because he's an emotionally incontinent psychopath. He's not the singer, by the way, Al Green, the singer has a great voice. This Al Green sucks. This is a terrible Al Green. 54% chance he actually shows, which is not that surprising. He is a member of Congress. Although a lot of these Democrats are boycotting or Hakeem Jeffries is trying to throw a child leash on them and drag them out of the room to keep them from acting a fool during the State of the Union. I don't think he's going to succeed, but that's hilarious. And then Barron Trump is predicted at 49% for attendance. Now, I'd be a little surprised if Barron was there. He might be. He might be. I don't know. Maybe he wants to go watch his dad give the State of the Union address. Could be good. Anyway. Oh, it just. Look at that. Did that just tick up live, guys? I said 49%. It's at 50%. It just ticked up live. That's how live these markets are. Calci. Yeah, it's pretty cool. You can, you can basically put your real money on anything you think might happen.

So a crazy dude showed up at Mar? A Lago this weekend and the president was not there. He was not there. But here is the local sheriff describing the man with a shotgun and a gas canister who entered Mar? A Lago's perimeter at 1:30 in the morning. Take a look. Cut five. Here's the clip.
Local Sheriff
This morning, the security detail detected that a individual had made his way into the inner perimeter of Mar A Lago. A deputy and two sequels Service agents on the detail went to that area to investigate. They confronted a white male that was carried a gas can and a shotgun. He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with him, at which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position. At that point point in time, the deputy and the two Secret Service agents fired their weapons and neutralized the threat. He is deceased at the scene. I'll give you a picture of the shotgun and the gas can to have with you. So that's what we know now. Investigation continues. The FBI is the lead investigation agency on this case and we will be assisting them in whatever manner they would like. And they will be responsible for answering any other questions at an appropriate time. Agent Smiles.
Vince C.
Thank you, sir. Good morning. Yeah. All right, so tell me any. Any questions with that fact pattern? Any questions about that? If you take a gun and you aim it at law enforcement and then you get shot dead, well, you won't be surprised because you're dead. But don't be surprised if you try and exercise that sequence of events in the future. They told him a gas canister and a shotgun, they say put it down. He puts down the gas canister. He raises the gun, points it at officers, they kill him. That's how that happens. That this should not Be a surprise when I first saw the headline that, you know, the Secret. This actually happened this weekend. You know, Secret Service shoots armed man in Mar A Lago. You know, you always hope. You're like, okay, you know, what are the chances that this is a mistake? This guy's like, you know, legally carrying, and somebody got an itchy trigger finger and they gunned them down. And you know, what happened here? You know, Americans do have their Second Amendment rights, after all. You'd hate to see somebody killed merely for open carrying or something. So you wonder, you're like, what is this? And I click in. And then I'm like, the guy pointed a shotgun directly at officers. Of course he got shot. And of course he got killed. That. That's it. Yes. Like, like Dan says, don't get dead. Well, he got dead in a very obvious sequence of events. That's practically suicide by cop, what that guy did. And meanwhile, like, the left, they're, They're. They continue to be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. It's, it's unbelievable. This. I saw this because of producer Justin's exchange with this idiot. Look at this. This guy's a cub. Brian Krasnstein. Krasnstein. Breaking. The Secret Service has shot and killed a man trying to enter a secured perimeter around Mar A Lago. Can Maga explain to me how this is any different than Capitol Police shooting and killing Ashley Babbitt after she broke into the U.S. capitol building and then attempted to climb through a shattered window beside a barricaded door into the secured House speaker's lobby? Wouldn't you have claimed that this man was a hero and a patriot? No. Ashley Babbitt didn't point any weapons at law enforcement. Ashley Babbitt was an unarmed Air Force veteran inside of her own nation's Capitol building. She wasn't carrying a gas canister and a shotgun to the President's house, you idiot. The whole thing is so completely stupid. How is it that producer Justin follows these people on X? That's really the question. I was like, producer, producer Justin. He had to tell this guy he had a shotgun. Just. Oh, Thank you, Justin. Justin, the tip of the cap to you, brother. American patriot. That's. That's wild. Anyway, so that guy, he got whacked because what he did. And we're finding out more about him. It sounds like he's a young man. He was, he showed up there. His. His family was wondering where the hell he was. They thought, man, he went. He went missing, and he shows up at Mar A Lago, which is terrible. The guy's name is Austin Tucker Martin, 21 years old. That's the name of the suspect or that he's been identified. He's deceased now. His family reported that he was missing days ago, and then he showed up with that shotgun 1:30 in the morning. Caroline Levitt reacted to this, the White House press secretary, and she said, you know, look, in the middle of the night, while most Americans were asleep, the United States Secret Service acted quickly and decisively to neutralize a crazy person armed with a gun and a gas canister who intruded President Trump's home. Federal law enforcement are working 247 to keep our country safe and protect all Americans. It's shameful and reckless that Democrats have chosen to shut down the government. Yeah. So specifically, the Department of Homeland Security. So here's the thing. Which is which funds the Secret Service? You know, I'm sure we'll find out more about this guy's motivations in the days and weeks ahead. You know, how many times have we seen, like, crazy lefties try and conduct these attacks on President Trump and the people around him? But what is the left doing? You know, are they. Are they bringing down the temperature? Are they, are they making things better? No. In fact, in California this weekend, they held the Democrat convention in San Francisco. And the one time front runner in the California governor's race is a psychopath known as Katie Porter. Crazy Katie. You know about Crazy Katie? You remember the one she, like, screams at all of her staff members on camera. She treats everybody like garbage. She dumped boiling mashed potatoes on top of her husband's head. She's a psycho. She's a complete psycho. And for, you know, for whatever reason, maybe it's her being a psycho. She was at the front of the pack for a while among these idiot Democrats all running for governor in California. Well, here she is this weekend. She's. Her polling has plummeted, by the way. It's absolutely fallen into the basement since we were playing those videos for you last year. Here she is screaming F. Trump at the California Democrat convention. Emotional incontinence on display. Watch. Simple, powerful message that we can all agree on. Say it with me. Are you ready? One, two, three. Yeah, that's right.
Bernie Sanders
Trump.
Vince C.
Trump. Is what she said, if you're listening on the podcast. She wrote it on a whiteboard. She spent some time on it, too, because it wasn't just like a little bit of dry erase marker. She wasted an entire expo marker on that board, you know, and then she holds it up. Say it with me. Si se pad way. As Dr. Jill once said, no. Now they've. Now they've graduated from Sisay Padua to fuck Trump. Fat Trump. Okay, so that's contributing to the discourse, isn't it? That's. Why are these lefties so crazy? I don't know. Look at their leaders. They're psychos. They're complete psychosis. And you know, this is. This is par for the course. This is what. Something very interesting is going on right now in California. I mentioned to you that Katie Porter has collapsed in the polls in that state. You know that the state of the race is really interesting right now. You ready for the most hilarious headline ever on the state of the race in California? Check this out. Look at this. San Francisco Chronicle this weekend. I'm very worried. California Democrats confront possibility of an all GOP governor race. All gop? What's going on? Wait a sec. Wait. I'm sorry, what? California Democrats are worried that the governor's race will only have Republican candidates. Yeah. Okay, you ready? You ready for something fascinating? In California, they have something called a jungle primary system. There is no standard primary system in California yet. Normally in a primary, in a closed primary, only party members, you and I, if we're Republicans, you can only vote for the Republican Party in your primary phase. In a closed primary system, Democrats can only vote for Democrats if it's an open primary. In states like, say, Texas, we have an open primary system. You can vote in whatever primary you want. You just choose one. So if you want to go interfere with the Democrats, you can do that. If you want to vote for the Republican, you can do that and vice versa. Now in California, they have an even crazier system. They have a jungle primary. The jungle primary means that everybody runs all at once, free for all. And then when you go to the polls, you vote on the whole ballot just for the candidate that you prefer. And then at the conclusion of the jungle primary, the top two vote getters in the state, they make it onto the general election ballot. That's what California does. Now that's a normally fine system for advancing all the will, all of the Democrat power that they possibly could advance. And literally, you know, when you get to the point where you only have Democrats on the general election ballot, sorry, there's no room for Republicans because we Democrats dealing all of the. Of the ballot positions in the general election. That's how California operates. Here's what's going on right now, though. Something crazy. An Emerson College poll just came out. And in the poll, the top two vote getters as we speak are Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco. You tracking what I'm saying? The Republican candidates, the two Republican candidates are the top two for support in the state right now. Eric Swalwell is tied for second. He's a Democrat, of course, with Bianco at 14%. And then you go down the list, there's crazy Katie at 10%. Tom Steyer is trying to buy the race. He's at 9%. And then Javier Becerra at 4%. Remember the HHS secretary under Joe Biden. So right now, Bianco and Hilton are one and two. And it's. This is shaping up to be hilarious now. It may. It's very unlikely to stay that way. There are nine Democrats currently in the race. Nine. And what's going to happen is what always happens, Democrats are going to try and force candidates out of the race rather than leave them in the race to appeal to voters and to split the vote. They're going to do what they did back when Joe Biden ran for office in 2020. Obama's going to get on the phone with some of these Democrats and tell them, get out of the race. Got to go. Got to leave. Let me be clear. You got like, you got to get out of the race. So they'll get out of the race. They'll do what they're told by their party elders. And the goal is to try and consolidate support behind one candidate. You know, is it going to be Eric Flatulent Swalwell? We'll see. Tom Steyer's got a lot of money. He might be very unhappy about this and he might spend it in order to hurt Democrats as a result. We'll see. But this is hilarious what's happening right now. So at the moment, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco are destined to win this thing and to be the only candidates on the general election ballot for governor, which would be amazing. Again, I don't predict that that's actually what's going to take place because these Democrats are going to move to try and consolidate things. But in the meantime, fascinating. That primary date, by the way, the end date of the election is June 2nd. June 2nd. And so we've got a couple months. So we'll keep our eyes on the state of play. But I was looking at this this week and I go, hold up. I'm doing double takes on the headlines. Wait, are you. Hold up a second. Republicans, too, to lead the ballot in California. Kind of fascinating. Very fascinating. Very, very funny. The LA Times is freaking out about it, too. It's it's wonderful. You know, the, the, the governor of California right now is Gavin Newsom, of course, the current governor, and he's one of the Democrats who's trying to stop the SAVE act from coming into place. You know, you talk about what's going on in California, you know, God knows, especially with election rigging, how this is going to work out. You know, it's very unlikely the two Republicans will end up on the, on the ballot for that reason, too. But Gavin Newsom hates the SAVE Act. Gavin Newsom does not want us to verify that it's American citizens only who are voting in our elections. And so Newsom is one of the Democrats this weekend who's cooking up another ludicrous explanation for why the SAVE act would be bad for America. Here he is saying that he doesn't even know where his birth certificate is. The guy's worth $30 million. Clearly he has people who handle his paperwork. He has no idea where his birth certificate is. Watch.
Gavin Newsom
And of course, we're not talking about the other aspects of the SAVE act that go well beyond id, and it goes to the, the. I mean, which is also part of Jim Crow, the history. And that is when it comes to registration, you got to find your birth certificate if you know where yours is. I have no clue where mine is. Or you have to. Passport. And two thirds African Americans don't even have passports.
Vince C.
Passport.
Bernie Sanders
I was blocking them just then. But not only that. How many people go out, get married.
Gavin Newsom
Yes.
Vince C.
And then square their married name with their birth certificate.
Gavin Newsom
And that would be thrown out under that law.
Bernie Sanders
Under that law, yeah.
Gavin Newsom
So that's what just passed. The House of Representatives now needs to get the 60 in the Senate. So I like what Schumer said. Dead on arrival.
Vince C.
Do you hear? First of all, I'm too stupid to know where my birth certificate is, so I have no idea. You know, how could anybody vote under these circumstances? You can get a birth certificate. It's not that hard. You're missing one. Contact your state's records office and get it. It's not that hard. I don't know where it is. And then he says, you know, lots of black people, they can't get passports. They don't have passports. Black people don't just listen to the, the deeply bigoted assessment from Gavin Newsom. The very casual racism from him. And also, it's not actually the last instance of Gavin Newsom's casual racism. Did you see this one this weekend? This is Gavin Newsom. Check this out. This is Gavin Newsom speaking to a black crowd in Georgia. And he says, I'm just like you. I only got 960 on the SATs. Just to remind you, out of a maximum score of 1600, Newsom says, I only got 960. I'm just like black people.
Gavin Newsom
Listen, I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a 960sat guy.
Vince C.
Oh, no.
Gavin Newsom
And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone. You know, trying to act all there. If you got 940, but literally a 960 SAT guy.
Vince C.
I cannot. You.
Gavin Newsom
You've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.
Vince C.
Oh, my God.
Gavin Newsom
Maybe the wrong business to be.
Vince C.
I got 960 on the sats. And I'm illiterate. I'm just like you. Does it get more casually racist than that? It's so. I can't even believe these words are coming out of his mouth. There's no tact at all. This. This is a little charming story about me. I think you'll identify with it. I can't read. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Please, please stop voting for Democrats. Please. It's unbelievable. And then, you know, Newsom is not the only one pulling this stick. He's like, I have no idea where my. Where my birth certificate is. There's also Bernie Sanders. Bernie frickin Sanders. You know, Mr. Breadline is himself. He doesn't know where his birth certificate is. Now, this does not surprise me because Bernie Sanders is a slob. This particular thing may be true. Bernie has no idea where his birth certificate is. Cut eight. Watch.
Bernie Sanders
Now, you're not talking about voter id. That's the way Trump defines it. But you're talking about. Now, I don't know about California's initiative, but I do know what's going on in Washington. Is that some geniuses think that before you can. Maybe I have it wrong here. Register to vote. You need a passport or your birth certificate. Do you have your. Do you have a passport or your
Vince C.
birth certificate at the moment?
Bernie Sanders
Do you?
Vince C.
I do, but millions of people don't.
Bernie Sanders
I don't have my birth certificate. God knows how I get it.
Vince C.
I love. Do you. Do you have your birth certificate? I do. Well, good for you. But millions of people do not. I do not. I don't. I don't know where my birth certificate is. I could never find it. Okay. All right. Bernie. Bernie. Now, again, I kind of believe this one. That he has no idea where his birth certificate is because he's a slob. You might. You know the story about Bernie Sanders that Bernie got kicked out of a commune? He got kicked out of a hippie commune in the 1970s because he was too lazy to do anything for the commune. You know that, like, the dishes are piling up. Where's Bernie? He's talking again. Just sitting on his. His ass. Just smoking weed or whatever. He's not. He's not helping at all. Imagine how much of a slob you need to be to get kicked out of a hippie commune. That's what Bernie Sanders did. He was asked. This is 2016. I just want to flashback for you. Look at this. Bernie Sanders was asked to leave a hippie commune for shirking of book claims. Yeah, he just sat around all day talking, running to suck his. Sanders idle chatter did not endear him with some of the commune's residents who did the backbreaking labor of running the place. The author wrote that one resident, Craig, resented feeling like he had to pull the other, pull others out of Bernie's orbit if any work was going to get accomplished that that day. Sanders was eventually asked to leave. When Bernie had stayed for the hippie communes, allotted three days. Three days. They politely requested that he move on. I can't find my birth certificate. I have no idea where it is. Okay, well, that's because you're a slob. You're completely disorganized. How did you become a multimillionaire, by the way? Given. Given your slobbery, given your inability to even track your own birth certificate. Can someone do the math on that? The guy's not organized to find his birth certificate, but he's organized to become a multimillionaire with multiple homes. How does that. How does that work exactly? Boy, it's nice to be a Democrat. It is really, really nice to be a Democrat. Finally, in terms of these idiot Democrats who have all these presidential ambitions, I've got a. I've got a. An update for you on the. On the plummeting stock of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Have you noticed that Democrats are not bothering to mount any defenses of AOC these days? It's like all of a sudden, they're turning on the squad. Jasmine Crockett is having the election rigged against her in Texas by Jussie Tallarico and Stephen Colbert. And then AOC, who very obviously wants to run for president in 2028. She just went over to the Munich security conference and gave that like Miss Teen South Carolina answer to what we should do about Taiwan. She had no idea what the answer to that was, and now she's angry that you noticed. And here she is recording yet another selfie video saying that in reality, you're the problem. Watch.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
If you think that I don't understand foreign policy. Because out of every hours of discourse about international affairs, I paused to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exist on earth. I'm afraid the issue is not my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks or.
Vince C.
Wait, I'm sorry. Two. Two gigantic things other than her like blaming you for her own idiocy. Is she whispering or did she lose her voice? What is that? What was that, by the way? She sounds better. The. The voice is a massive improvement. But did you hear the background? Was that snoring going on? Did she just record a selfie video while her was a snore? Is that what that was? Can you. I'm sorry, can you just play the first few seconds off the top? There's a snore in the background.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Play that again if you think that I don't understand foreign policy. Because out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I paused to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently.
Vince C.
Yes. Oh, that's funny. Can you imagine having to deal with that all the time? That guy as. As the Secretary of War would say, he's done with that shit. He's asleep. He's like, I can't. I can't. I can't do another second of this. I'm going to bed. Just keeps running her mouth into her cell phone. And just because I don't know anything about Taiwan doesn't mean that. That I. That's a bad thing. You suck. It's you. You suck. It's the best. We live in the best timeline. We live in the best timeline. What a great country. Congratulations to Team usa. Both the men and the women winning gold. I hope to see all of those guys at the State of the Union tomorrow night. Tuesday night. That's going to be super exciting. We have a mighty week ahead of us.
