Matt Palumbo (3:44)

Look at this.

Vince (3:45)

Check this out. McDonald's drive thru being pulled on a wagon past the President of the United States. There are the golden arches, the order here sign. The kids, of course, working the drive through. But rather than handing out Big Macs and Diet Cokes, they receive candy from the President of the United States. That's. That's fantastic stuff. That's fantastic stuff. For those of you watching on Rumble right now, yes, it's true. I am dressed as Dumbledore and I am. This, this beard is awful. It's very difficult to wear without getting all of this artificial beard hair stuck in my mouth. So we'll see what we can do throughout the program. Anyway, that's the President last night at the White House. Just ahead of the trick or treating, though, the White House did release a hilarious video. It was a, it was a throwback to when President Trump had put candy on top of the head of a minion, a kid dressed as a minion. But now it includes Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries getting sombreros plunked on their heads. Take a look. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries walking through the front of the frame. President Trump, Melania Trump putting sombreros on their heads. Hakeems falls off. So a White House aide has to rush up and grabbed the sombrero and put it back on his head. That was, that was Posted by the White House account last night ahead of the trick or treating.

Matt Palumbo (5:18)

Really funny.

Vince (5:19)

Just great stuff. Top tiered trolling from the White House. Really, really, really wonderful stuff. So a sombrero banger from the White House last night. Pretty good. Hey, the president this morning. You've got some, we've got some breaking news for you this morning. Speaking of the government shutdown, he's done with it. He doesn't want to see this going on anymore. So this morning, Halloween morning, the president posted that he wants to see the shutdown brought to an end by going nuclear on the filibuster. This is, this is nuclear week for the President of the United States. He announced earlier this week that we will resume nuclear testing in the United States. And he's also announced that he wants to go nuclear in the United States Senate. Here's the post on Truth Social this morning. Here's what we've got. He said he went to Asia. He came back from there. But the one question that he kept getting was, why did Democrats shut down the United States of America and why did the Republicans allow them to do it? He said, you know, I was flying back and I was thinking a lot about this question. Yeah, that is a good question. Why, why did Democrats do this and why are Republicans allowing it? He says Majority Leader John Thune, speaker of the House Mike Johnson, they're doing a great job, but the Democrats are crazed lunatics who have lost all sense of wisdom and reality. He says it's legendary Trump Derangement syndrome right now. Legendary. He said they're hurting American citizens. Republicans should not let it happen. It's time to play the trump card. He says, go for the nuclear option. Get rid of the filibuster. Get rid of it now. He says just a short while ago, the Democrats, while in power, fought for three years to do this. That's true. You can go back and look at footage. I was just looking this morning, Elizabeth Warren and others saying, get rid of the filibuster. Get rid of the filibuster. They were unable to pull it off because of Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kirsten Sinema of Arizona. Never have the Democrats fought so hard to do something because they knew the tremendous strength that terminating the filibuster would give them. They want to substantially pack the Supreme Court, make D.C. and Puerto Rico's states and many other destructive things. Well, now we are in power and we should be doing, he said, and if we did what we should be doing, it would immediately end the ridiculous shutdown. So he says, use the filibuster. It doesn't matter what we do anyway because Democrats are going to do it at some point. So let's just go for it. Let's get our judges through, let's get our U.S. attorneys through. Let's knock it out. Okay, so here's the President. I'm already seeing it in the chat. People are saying, hey, careful, Mr. President, you're playing into their hands. You're playing into the hands of these Democrats. And I get it, I get the caution here, but let me, let me unpack a little bit what the President is saying. First and foremost, are there any of you who truly believe that Democrats are going to play by any rules whatsoever going forward? Any, any show of hands? Yeah. No, no, they don't. They don't play by the rules. Take it from Dumbledore. They don't play by the rules, these Democrats. Second, the filibuster was not always this way. You know how they do the filibuster now in the Senate? They just say it's a silent filibuster. They're like, I don't like that. Okay, now it's filibustered. What. What kind of. What is that? So if a Democrat, they're in the minority right now. If they, if they raise their hand and say, yeah, no, I don't like that. We're not going to go for it. It doesn't get to move forward at all. What kind of filibuster is that? You guys familiar with, you know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington, you familiar at all with, like, the tradition of the United States Senate, what the founders gave us, you know what the filibuster is supposed to be? The filibuster was a talking filibuster. You want to filibuster something, you want to block legislation, you want to debate it, which is really the point of the filibusters, to debate it. You can open up extended debate and you could talk, talk, talk your ass off, but you've got to talk. You actually got to filibuster the legislation. You can't just be like, nah, I don't really like it. And then it stops the whole thing. You can't, you can't move it forward. That's the current way of things. So how long has it been that way? Well, it's been that way since the 1970s. In 1970, and then successfully in 1975, Democrats who controlled the United States Senate in both of those years passed rules to make it so that the filibuster could be administered merely on a silent basis. The Democrat party, the racist Democrat party, the one who was fighting against civil rights in the middle of the last century, that they're the very same party who created these new rules for the filibuster. We don't have to talk anymore. So this idea that the President going nuclear on this is going to represent some great teardown of American history? No, it would actually just be a restoration of the way the founders had it in the first place. Restore the filibuster. That's what should happen. And in fact, the President should probably start using that language. Maybe it's time to restore the filibuster to the way that the United States Senate used it in the first place. It wasn't meant to stop all business. It was meant to create real debate around the business that actually showed up on the floor of the United States Senate.

Matt Palumbo (10:39)

Senate.

Vince (10:40)

And if you want accountability, let me, let me extend this in terms of what are the benefits right now for us? Is our country on life support right now? Does it need to be saved? Yes, it does. How do we save it? We secure our borders, we restore our economy and we hold the bad people accountable. The people who have violated their oaths of office, who have been tyrannical, who've used their power to abuse the American people. How do you hold them accountable? One, you need an FBI with competent investigators. We got that. We've got Dan and we've got cash. Two, you need prosecutors who can actually prosecute these people. The only way you get U.S. attorneys is if you blow through the filibuster. Right now, the current filibuster, the non speaking filibuster because Democrats are gumming up the works. They don't want the American people to get their way. And then finally you need judges which the President can't get through either because Democrats are blockading, getting federal judges through. You need all of these things. Let's make the filibuster great again. I totally agree. Pretender 2020. Let's make the filibuster great again. We can do it. So the President says let's go nuclear baby. That's the news this morning. That's a lot of fun. Speaking of the FBI, we also have some breaking news this morning that the FBI has apparently foiled a plot to commit acts of terrorism in the great state of Michigan. This morning this, these announcements come to us by way of the FBI and Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, the aforementioned leadership of that agency. Take a look here. The FBI has thwarted A potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple people in Michigan. According to Cash Patel, the FBI said it's prevented a potential terror attack in Michigan, arresting multiple suspects who are all accused of plotting violence this Halloween weekend. Cash Patel writing this morning, quote, the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend. He says more details are set to come. And he thanked the men and women of the FBI and said that their vigilance is the reason that people in Michigan could have a safe and happy Halloween. There's also Dan Bongino. I've heard of him. Dan says the following. He said, this is what real law enforcement looks like. Proactive, relentless, followed the evidence, stopped a threat before anyone got hurt. Under the leadership of Director Patel on the watch of this FBI, America is a safer place. So add it to the pile. Victories for the FBI as they're finding missing children, rescuing them, prosecuting violent criminals by the thousands, helping bring prosecutions against people like James Comey, Letitia James, John Bolton, turning over massive quantities of documents to Congress in the purpose of public transparency and exposure, and now thwarting terror attacks, including one in Michigan that was set to take place on Halloween weekend. So, thanks, fellas. Thank you very much, fellas. Justin, is it true that Mr. Bongino. Excuse me, Deputy Director Bongino, is it true that he may or may not have made an appearance in Haley's chat last night on when she was dressed. When she was dressed as Dan Bongino? Do you have an image of that? Can you put up Haley's image? Okay, Justin's grabbing it. So Haley's Halloween costume last night on her program was. Well, I've already given it away. It was. She was dressed as Deputy Dan. She was. She was dressed as Deputy Dan Bongino last night, and apparently while he was wearing. She was wearing the costume, she was, you know, identifying as a man temporarily. There is a rumor that Dan himself showed up to pay her a compliment for the outfit. Said he missed everybody and then he ducked because he had to go stop a terror attack. He had to go stop a terror attack in Michigan. So he had a small window of time. There he is. There she is rather dressed as him on the. On the great Nightly Scroll show, rumble.com Vince, if you haven't seen this footage or rumble.com Haley if you want to see it in its entirety, there's Haley. So anyway, that's fun. That's a lot of fun. Nicely done. To the. To the costume and makeup department involved on Nightly scroll. Excellent work, guys. Justin saying thank you. You're welcome, Justin. Excellent work. I didn't know you were that good at makeup. Fantastic. Okay, what else do we have today? We've got a lot of video for you. Kamala Harris is losing your shit over the fact that she's not president of the United States and President Trump gets to build a ballroom. You know about this? Yeah, she's freaking out, which is. This is, you know, in terms of trick or treat, this is a great treat for us to get to see Kamala Harris throwing a shit fit. Halloween, angry that President Trump is getting to build a ballroom, and she doesn't even get to live at the White House. Watch.

Kamala Harris (15:47)

Are you fucking kidding me? This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that. That babies are going to starve when the snap benefits end in just hours from now. Come on. So what? I'm not going to be distracted by. Oh, does the guy have a big fucking hammer? What about those babies?

Vince (16:14)

You think she cares about babies? That chick does not care about babies. That. That they're all in on, like, you know, trebucheting babies. They're. They. They. They want to take out babies. They take out babies to the tune of millions every year. A million abortions a year thanks to that political party. That's what Kamala Harris was looking to advance.

Matt Palumbo (16:31)

More.

Vince (16:31)

More baby death is what Kamala Harris wanted to advance. They take out babies like they're skeet shooting, pull, baby pow. That's Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. And I love her freak out. She built a fucking bar. You know what she's raging about? What she's truly raging about is she doesn't get to do shit. She doesn't get to do anything hilarious. And now she's cursing about it.

Matt Palumbo (16:56)

She's.

Vince (16:56)

She's throwing a fit. I love it. I can't love it enough. Yeah, she's. She's on a very bitter tour right now, angry that President Trump is the President of the United States. She's very angry at you for voting for him. And. And she just did an interview with Jon Stewart. You know that guy from the used to do the Daily Show, Jon Stewart? He told her, you know, candidly, maybe your campaign was a little too long. Maybe people had way too long to look at you. Watch this.

Kamala Harris (17:27)

I do believe one of the biggest factors that was at play in the 107 days. We just didn't have enough time. We didn't have enough time, or was.

Vince (17:35)

It too Much time. I mean, if you had done the election after 60 days, I think too much time, honestly, there was a. There seemed like a stagnation point. And then if you look at the lines, it doesn't look like what would have changed.

Kamala Harris (17:51)

Well, yeah, but there's so many variables that went into the outcome of that race. Because you can also look at where you started to see an infusion of resources going into mis and disinformation.

Vince (18:03)

Missing disinformation.

Kamala Harris (18:05)

For example, the Elon Musk factor in the book.

Vince (18:09)

Here's missing disinformation for you. Remember when Joe Biden put a MAGA hat on in the middle of the campaign? Yeah. That's all mission disinformation. Yeah. No, I think people just kept learning more and more about how awful you are. John. John Stewart's right there. That the. The length of the campaign was detrimental to you in that it was too long. The only way Kamala Harris can even be stomached is in the very small dose. You just like, flash her on screen and then boom. Okay, maybe. I don't know who was that? Maybe I'll prefer. I'm not sure. No. Getting more time to see her. Not good. Not good. Yeah. There's the missing disinformation she's talking about on. On screen right now. Rumble.com/Vince, we've got President. President Trump's hat on top of President Biden's head. This is so funny. What a terrible. What a terrible campaign that was. Couldn't happen to a better person. All right, coming up, I've got more for you. Kamala bitching about Joe Biden, not treating her well during the campaign. I think it was the MAGA hat. She didn't like that. A lot to get to.

I do have some more crazy Kamala Kamalama. Ding dong. She. What did she do? She. Oh, here she is bitching about Joe Biden. Not treating her well enough during the campaign. Take a look.

Kamala Harris (20:38)

I'm in the hotel room with Doug, with my husband. And the president calls. And I, I was told that he wanted to call me so that I'd be ready. And I was so sure it was to buck me up and go, go get him. And he did say that for the first beat. And then he went on to talk about a group of people in Pennsylvania who were saying bad things about me because they heard I was saying bad things about him. And when I hung up the phone, I was just, I was. It was unbelievable. And I was, Yes, I was angry and deeply disappointed.

Vince (21:23)

This. She's mad about it. He made it all about himself. It wasn't about me. Everything's supposed to be about me. What is wrong with you? They, they made you the presidential nominee and you did nothing to earn it. You didn't get a single vote, lady. And you're bitching about that. You're complaining about that. Yes, she is. She's a complainer. She's a complainer because if she wasn't complaining, what else would she have to offer? All she can do is complain. That's all she knows how to do. One more for you. You ever wondered yourself how angry she was when Donald Trump won? When they determined that President Trump had enough votes to dominate her? When the election was so obviously too big to rig? Yeah. Well, here's Kamala Harris saying she lost her ever loving mind. Really? Did you think the day before that you were going to win?

Matt Palumbo (22:16)

I did.

Vince (22:17)

Yeah. And so when did the proverbial penny drop?

Kamala Harris (22:21)

When I got a call from my campaign manager that it looks like we need 200,000 more votes that we can't find meaning. It's just the map, the numbers and the thing I kept saying over and over again. I was in a state of shock. I was, I was so inarticulate but maybe very articulate. What I kept saying over and over again is, my God, my God, my God.

Vince (22:52)

Really over.

Kamala Harris (22:53)

And I couldn't stop. I haven't felt that emotion, anything similar to the emotion I felt that day and for quite some time, other than the grief I felt when my mother died.

Vince (23:11)

Oh. Oh, I love how she says I was inarticulate. Like that was a recent development, like she just suddenly became inarticulate. You're always inarticulate. That's the only true thing she's ever said. Yeah, I'm inarticulate. We know. We know. Yes. Wheels514 agrees with me. That's the first truth out of her. Yeah, that's the first one. The first and only. It's so good. I'm glad. I'm glad she lost. She deserved it. Holy cow. All right, let me. Let me move on now to another crazy person on the left. Yesterday I was telling you about an Illinois Democrat, a woman who is running for Congress by the name of Kat. I think it's Abu Gaz La. I think that's how you say your name. So Kat Abagaba is running for Congress in Illinois, and earlier this year, she got planted on her ass by law enforcement because she was trying to block ICE officials from doing their jobs. So they shoved her out of the way. She bounced off her hiney. And since then, there's been some curiosity. Is she going to be charged for trying to obstruct law enforcement? And sure enough, this week, a grand jury slapped her with indictments for obstructing law enforcement and attacking law enforcement vehicles. Well, Catabuga just did an interview about this subject with. With a woman. I want to make sure I cite her correctly. What is the name of this. This podcast that she did? Cattle Bugaba appeared as an interview guest here. Here it is. Tara Palmeri. Thank you, fellows. Tara Palmieri.

Matt Palumbo (24:47)

Is the.

Vince (24:47)

Is the woman doing the interview? It doesn't last very long because walked off the interview in, like, seconds after, like, a basic question was asked, which is like, do you have any regrets? Can you explain what you were thinking? Watch this.

Kat Abagaba (25:03)

We're going to be pleading not guilty, and, you know, the evidence will come out in court, and I fully plan on winning.

Tara Palmeri (25:10)

Yeah. Just to be clear, the. The indictment alleges that you and others, quote, surrounded a federal officer's vehicle, banged on its hood and windows, etched pig on the side, and impeded movement. Did you.

Vince (25:24)

Did.

Tara Palmeri (25:24)

Did you etch the word pig on the side of an. Of an officer's car?

Kat Abagaba (25:28)

I'M not speaking to the specifics of anything that's in the indictment right now, but like I said, I do plan on pleading not guilty, and the evidence will come out in court. And, you know, I plan on winning.

Tara Palmeri (25:41)

Okay, well, let's watch the video of what happened that day. That they are.

Vince (25:51)

Down with deportation. Up, up with liberation. Up with liberation.

Tara Palmeri (26:06)

What do you. When you see that, what do you think right now?

Kat Abagaba (26:10)

You know, Tara, once again, this is my first time being federally indicted. Like I said.

Tara Palmeri (26:14)

Yeah.

Kat Abagaba (26:14)

A panel pleading nine not guilty. The evidence will come out in court, and. And I plan on winning. Thank you so much for having me.

Tara Palmeri (26:21)

Yeah, just really quickly, I did want to ask you about just the fact that, like, conspiracy to impede an officers up to six years in prison, forcibly impeding and intimidating an officers up to eight years. Is that like, that could. That could actually hinder your ability to serve in Congress. Are you concerned about that? Did she just sign off? Did she just leave the chat? I'm so confused. I'm sorry. I don't know what just happened.

Vince (26:59)

Let it go. So, basically, Tara at some point discovers that she's not on screen anymore. She hung up the call. She's like, no, I'm out. Goodbye. The call lasted, I think, three minutes total. And so if. Why do the interview? Why would you even agree? The interview, you psychopath. So after trying to assault police officers, after scraping the word pig into the side of the vehicle, after obstructing officers, that, that, that woman, Terra Palmeri, just asked a really basic question, like, did you do what was alleged? What's your reaction to seeing yourself in that video? I gotta go. Bye. She clicks out of it. She must have expected the kid glove treatment or something. She must have thought that it was just going to be a rage fest against Donald Trump. Well, good for Tara. It wasn't. It was just a simple Q and A. And a woman who would like to join Congress thinks that she doesn't have to answer questions. Sorry, sweetheart. You do. And right now, the questions you have to answer are going to be in front of a court of law. She's looking at a pretty healthy jail sentence, actually, if. If she's convicted. So good luck with that. Catabuga Bugaba. That's the update on her story. Crazy. And that's nice. It's nice to see Democrats being held accountable for their lawlessness, which just keeps happening. Coming up, I've got more information ahead for you on the state of the shutdown. Hakeem Jeffries is desperately clinging to the chaos he loves the chaos, the dial up Democrat. And then I've got a Democrat congresswoman who's very confused about why the shutdown began to begin with. Nobody's clued her in. She was asked some basic questions on television and she has no idea what's going on, which means of course, she's a Democrat member of Congress. But coming up in a moment, I do have a great guest joining us with an important book on the Soros family. We'll explore that next with the great Matt Palumbo right after a word from our sponsor, who's wonderful. We have great sponsors on the program. I'm tired of scrolling through shows on television and finding nothing but the same mind numbing content. You've probably been there, too.

You can find a Matt Palumbo 12 on X. The book is called the Air Inside the Not so Secret Network of Alex Soros. And he's also of course the content manager of the Bongino Report. Matt, good to see you sir.

Matt Palumbo (32:19)

Very good to meet you. I'm loving the costume. I'm actually playing myself for Halloween. I'm not being lazy today. Kids are out of confusion.

Vince (32:26)

Thank you very much for that. And I want to apologize to you if you were thinking that hey, maybe I could do the show and then I get some useful social media clips out of it. Oh, look at that idiot. He's dress like Dumbledore. That's not going to help me at all. Sorry about that Matt, but but thank you for.

Matt Palumbo (32:42)

No, it's my pleasure. It's good to finally meet. I mean we've been colleagues for quite a while. I mean obviously separated by some distance, but it's. No very. I love the show. You're doing a great job.

Vince (32:50)

Thanks brother, I appreciate it. So let's talk about the book. I think a lot of people are interested in the Soros family and how they're exerting influence in the United States. No question. I love how the left is like you can't talk about that guy. Of course you have to. He's one of the single. George Soros is one of the single biggest political spenders in the entire country. Of course, you should look at how he's wielding his influence. But George Soros is on his last legs and he's handed his empire over to his son Alex. And the reality is we know way less about Alex than we do about George. So what did you learn writing this book?

Matt Palumbo (33:23)

So I wrote about his father back in 2022. I had a book called the man behind the Curtain that I know Dan's audience really enjoyed. And he. It was in June of 2023 that Alex was announced that he was taking over the Open Society foundation, which is his father's empire. That prior December, he actually became chairman of the board. And throughout my research, I found that he pretty much took over all operations in Europe in about 2015. He took over the PAC that funded a lot of these DAs that we call Soros DAs back in 2022. So there has been a ton of headlines in the past three or four years, or even technically going back a decade where they say George Soros is behind X, Y and Z, where actually it's been his son in George. So I thought it would be useful to expose that his son actually has been running the show to some extent already. And then I wanted to structure the book in this order of, well, here's what George Soros did in a particular region or sphere of influence to establish himself. Here's how Alex inherited, inherits it, or what he inherits. And. And here's what he's doing with it. And I argue he's got to be more dangerous than the father and that, you know, it took George decades to build his Rolodex, to build all that wealth. He's given $32 billion to his own society foundation. It's got $25 billion left. Obviously, he spent a lot more than the difference. He's gotten donations and interest and growth, but. But that's what he's working with, and he inherits that all. Basically, on day one. His whole life is being groomed by his father to meet all these world leaders. So he's just starting on third base.

Vince (35:02)

So you say you think he's more dangerous. I remember when he first emerged on the public scene, there was conversation that he may be more moderate than his father. People were kind of presenting him as, oh, he's more sensible, he's more reasonable, he's not going to be as crazy. And when they say not as crazy, I think they're Pointing in the direction of things like the Soros prosecutors and not prosecuting crimes and going soft on criminals. So unpack that for us. What, you know, I did, I, I, I'm not going crazy. I definitely remember people claiming that Alex was going to be some sort of more moderate version of his dad.

Matt Palumbo (35:37)

So rhetorically he's more moderate. One of the differences between him and his father is that he is very open with his influence. He kind of brags on social media about all the world leaders he's with, but at the same time, I don't think wants to be portrayed rightfully so as the boogeyman father. That is a figure that his father has. So he definitely plays moderate. He'll say things like, you know, I think the left has gone too far with free speech. But he also supports hate speech laws and has supported them in Germany, citing the Nazis as evidence why you'd want that. And, you know, we know at the left that Nazi ends up just meeting anyone, even marginally right wings. So there's a difference between what he says and the groups he funds. He appears more moderate on Israel rhetorically, but he's also funding the Columbia campus protests. He's funding Al Quds University. And then when it comes to the DAs, as I said earlier, you know, he took over that in 2022. So there are a number of DAs that even I erroneously thought were George Soros funded DAs that he was funding. One of the more notable ones was in Harris county in Texas. It was a guy named Shawn Thierre. He ran and he ran Sean Thierre to primary Kim Ogg. Now, who is Kim Ogg? Kim Ogg was a DA that George Soros funded, meaning Alex Soros funded a DA to unseat a George Soros DA for not being radical enough. So that's the kind of people we're dealing with. And then a lot of just local, A lot of the lawfare against Trump's pro border security initiatives, anti birthright citizenship, are being funded by groups that are, that are fund DAs that are getting involved. A lot of like these judges that are just blocking everything he's doing are.

Vince (37:19)

Tell me, so obviously like we do see a lot of the left wing activism and street protests and things. They have connections to the Open Society foundation and, and Soros money, the Tides Foundation. You know, to, to what extent are you seeing connections here between Alex Soros and things like Antifa or the no Kings Day protests and the things that we're all experiencing now in the country?

Matt Palumbo (37:45)

Yeah, the no Kings group got $8 million in grants. So groups that funded that were part of no Kings, although to be fair, it was so many groups that, you know, it probably would have happened, you know, regardless, when it comes to Antifa, it is hard to trace the money because as you were mentioning, you know, they're funding through groups like Tides, the Open Society foundation does this sort of charitable version of money laundering where they'll give a grant to a group that gives a grant to a group that gives a grant to a group. And then by the time it's in some radical's hands, there's plausible deniability as to where the money came from. And they even kind of gave. They kind of revealed this too in responding to Trump proposing RICO charges. They said, well, we don't knowingly give money to violent groups. And I'm thinking, well, the word knowingly is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. You're basically saying, yeah, we do it, but we're going to claim ignorance. And it's. The analogy I've given is like, you can't meet an arsonist, then give them gasoline in a match, and then when they set something on fire, be like, well, I didn't know he was going to do it. It just, it just happened. It's the same kind of thing there. So I really support him. Well, I think the IRS investigation is where they're going to uncover a lot of those networks, because in the second to last chapter of the book, I believe it was, I profile all the grants that Alex authorized his first year running the Open Society foundation officially. And I just focus on the ones that were half a million dollars or more because I wanted to kind of get this idea of, well, you know, he rhetorically is moderate. Is he really? And the answer is no. And there were about a half dozen groups where. And these were multimillion dollar grants. Some one, I think was 12 million. Where there are basically shell company charitable organizations where I cannot find evidence of them doing a single thing, even though, like, their website will be a single paragraph and a donate button. They get $10 million from the Open Society Foundation. Their address is a P.O. box. There's not a single news article about them. The social media is dead. Their financial expenses will make no sense. They'll spend like 100 bucks a year on office space. And I'm just thinking there's a story here that I would need to be an IRS agent to fig out. But there's a lot of groups. I just think that, you know, hopefully someone in the administration reads it and looks into them because there's just a lot of very weird stuff going. And I'm not breaking news by saying this, but I found examples of, you know, kind of where there's some malarkey detected.

Vince (40:10)

Just amazing the way that he's spending his money. It's. Now it's one thing to spend money in this way. It'd be another if he was like, I don't know, like married to like some sort of top important Democrat or like really important part of establishment world. Can you imagine if that was the arrangement?

Matt Palumbo (40:26)

Well, it is the arrangement now. With whom? Abedin. I guess his Clinton connection led to that. Yeah, I don't know. I mean it seems like it's sort of a political marriage I think for sure. Although to be fair, anything after Anthony Weiner is a major upgrade for her. So good for her, I suppose. Yes.

Vince (40:42)

Unreal.

Matt Palumbo (40:43)

Yeah.

Vince (40:44)

So people know that Hillary Clinton's longtime, I guess bad girl, like she's like.

Matt Palumbo (40:50)

Yeah, she's really.

Vince (40:51)

Her number two. Yeah. Is also Anthony Weiner's ex wife and she just married Alex Soros in the last year or two. And so. So further intertwining these worlds of the democratic establishment and George Soros, his power over them.

Matt Palumbo (41:08)

Yeah, his connection. Well, this father and now Alex goes back to the 1990s in fact, like when the, when the Soviet Union was going capitalist. USAID partnered with Harvard University and then they partnered with George Soros to help with the privatization process. And George was able to buy shares into two state run companies that were going private even though the sale was closed to the public. So you got to buy in for pennies on the dollar and make a ton of money through that Clinton connection. And he's been on stage with Hillary Clinton before back I believe it was 2004, it was early 2000 and she had praised them openly. So the Democrats love to do this whole narrative where we're crazy for noticing George Soros's influence. But actually I remember with me and Dan a while ago, this is many years ago, there was this woman he called the crazy cat lady named Amy and she started a group that was funded with George Soros money and tweeted out like I'm officially Soros funded. And there was documentation for it. It really was Soros funded. And then when he pointed it out on his show like within days, she said no, it's a conspiracy theory, I'm not.

Vince (42:16)

So.

Matt Palumbo (42:18)

So within like a week it was. And she was telling the truth the first time. But they, they know it looks bad. So they'll deny it even when they themselves have admitted it or been right next to the guy.

Vince (42:28)

This is so funny. Somebody, somebody just said, I think they mean Besson. I was just about to ask you this, but thank you for the tip. $1 tip. What they ask about Scott Bessant. And I was like, well, perfect. That was my next question. Scott Betson is the current treasury secretary. He's great. He's been absolutely killing it for the Trump administration. He did, though, at one point work with George Soros, which is a fascinating feature of his biography. What do you think of Scott Besson?

Matt Palumbo (42:52)

Well, you know, I was skeptical when he was tapped for that very reason. I think I even might have written an article on Dan's website criticizing the move. He did work with Soros Fund Management for decades, actually, and he funded a hedge fund in the mid-2000s that George Soros backed. They haven't been in touch for more than a decade. And the Wall Street Journal did report that they argued that the relationship was more financial than anything else, which I guess you'd expect at a hedge fund in that Bessant and George Wall Besant work there had clashed on politics. For instance, I think they were going to boycott Israeli companies and Besant threatened to quit and they reversed on that when he was there. So they had clashed on politics. I mean, you know, it puts me in a weird spot where I feel like I don't want to, like, seem like I'm making excuses for someone just because they're helpful to our side. But the evidence does suggest that he did clash with Soros politically while he was an employee of his. And, you know, I guess his track record as Treasury Secretary speaks for itself. He's been doing a good job, which, yes, it's good news for us also.

Vince (43:56)

I mean, realistically, Soros made his money off of currency bets and specifically in the UK and that understanding of currency has actually been of some great help to Scott Besson at the Treasury Department because just for instance, he just was posting about what's going on in Argentina right now. The United States apparently was involved in a pretty useful rescue of the Argentinian peso that has paid a profit back to the United States. Now, Scott Besson just revealed this week, so kind of fascinating. He is a good guy. And also he wouldn't be the first either Democrat or former Democrat linked person who is now of utility to us in this crazy world we live in. Donald Trump was a Democrat. Tulsi Gabbard, RFK junior Scott Bestin so we're, we're living through an interesting time, aren't we?

Matt Palumbo (44:46)

Yeah, I think we're up 10% was the last headline I saw on that trade in like a week or two. So, yeah, it's worked out in our favor by quite a bit. And yes, I mean, we drudge people by how they act while in office. And in Trump's first term, there was certainly a heck of a lot of Republicans that proved to be rhinos. We have a lot of Democrats that have come around and seen the light. So, yeah, I welcome people changing their minds and being an asset. I mean, even Elon Musk was a Democrat not too long ago. And there is a parallel timeline out there where they did not try to trans his son and he's still a Democrat. That was the one issue that turned him to our side and it turned a ton of young men to our side in the last election. So I guess thanks to the Democrats for standing for nothing but trans people and illegal aliens.

Vince (45:28)

Yes, the more psychotic they are, the more sane people leave their ranks. Okay, so let me talk to me about Soros, Alex Soros and our borders. So when, when I hear open society, what I equip I that to me equals open borders is what Soros is for. And so how hard is the Soros fortune going to fight to reopen America's borders?

Matt Palumbo (45:54)

Well, they've been doing it for many, many decades and this is really the first time they're losing. You know, during the Biden administration, he was going as far as funding NGOs that would give free legal assistance to people that were on caravans. And you know, if you're people who are legitimately seeking asylum, you think he probably wouldn't need that. It would be a pretty cut and dry case. But no, the whole point was to flood the country. And now he's fighting against things like ending birthright citizenship. Ship, you know, the, the left you reduce social trust, the more you introduce unassimilated people into the country. And you need to reduce social trust to break open the country from within and make these left wing policies acceptable. I mean, you see this weird paradox in the urban versus rural environments where if you're in a rural area, your neighbor might be a mile away, but you know them better than someone in a city might know their neighbor right next to them. And the people in the city are way more likely to support government and outside help to solve problems where the person in the less population dense area will support private charity and community. And you really can't have that with a lot of you can't have the Soros division with a lot of social trust. So a lot of this strategy is dependent on breaking that. And I should add, with the Biden administration, I mean, we know at least 10 million illegals enter the country. I've seen estimates around 30 million illegals. It's probably higher. There were at least a half dozen or so members of people connected directly to Soros that were in his cabinet. I mean, Neera Tanden, Ron Klain, a number of other people. And he also just packed it with, you know, people from NGOs that are the kind of groups that are at least ideologically aligned with Soros, if not directly connected.

Vince (47:40)

Just amazing. So how's the book going? Is the New York Times written the book review yet?

Matt Palumbo (47:44)

No. So the first one, the. I think we sold the first week three or four times the amount of copies you need to sell to make the New York Times bestseller. And they snubbed it. So I have no hope for this one whatsoever. Just to show everyone what it looks like, it's. We got Alex is not so great looking mug on the. Oh, there we go, the air. We got Alex's thesis and I think they did a really great job with it. It got good reviews from like Steve, Steve Bannon, Newt Gingrich. I got the president of Albania to review it. So I've got International with the back cover reviews. But that's.

Vince (48:18)

Well, they wouldn't be the first world leader concerned about the Soros influence, of course. I mean, like Viktor Orban in Hungary has been furious about the way the Soros have been interfering in international affairs. So there's not, it's not just Americans who are upset about this.

Matt Palumbo (48:34)

Well, yeah, and it's, it's if they can do it, why can't we? You know, obviously, you know, there are free speech arguments to be made and, well, if you're funding a group, you're kind of funding speech. But I think what they're going to find with the RICO and IRS investigations is it's a lot more than that. You know, through discovery, we're going to find out, do you know, are they discussing violent group, you know, showing that they know violent groups they're funding are in fact violent. And the fact that we know they are means that they certainly know they are. But that is needed, I think, just to give the evidence to do it. And then what happens? About $25 billion, I would love to see. Maybe we'll just take it. Who knows?

Vince (49:13)

Me too. I'd love to see what happens. Well, Matt, congratulations on the book and it is so nice to have you stop by the program today and please keep up the great work of Bongino Report. Good to talk to you today, sir.

Matt Palumbo (49:23)

Thank you so much.

Vince (49:24)

There he is, Matt Palumbo, great guy. Another great book on the Soros family. And so if you want to know about this, you want to be able to explain it all, that's the book to get the air. Thank you to Tim at Palumbo. Remarkable, remarkable stuff. We have a couple more things to get to today. We do. We've got another federal investigation that has been announced that's kind of fun. Speaking of investigating the funding sources of the left, you see that the Trump administration is now investigating Black Lives Matter because of course, the Biden administration wouldn't do it. The Biden guys were going after people who made memes about Hillary Clinton back in 2016. But this Trump administration is investigating Black Lives Matters leadership and their misuse of 90 million plus dollars. Federal prosecutors are investigating. Fox reports whether senior leaders of BLM defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during the 2020 protest. Well, sure they did. They were buying large mansions. Blm. The Associated Press first reported that the Justice Department ongoing inquiry is focused on the foundation's handling of donations collected in the wake of the George Floyd killing when the group saw a surge of more than $90 million in contributions. The probe is being led by the U.S. attorney's office in the Central District of California in Los Angeles. Yeah, you know what that means? That's Bill Asale. Bill Asale. Learn the name. That's a key name that U.S. attorney means business in California. And this is yet another reason why the president needs to be able to get all these U.S. attorneys through. We need, we need a hundred bill of sales all across the country going after all these lunatics after all these left wing funding operations. That's really key. See here, the probe is being led by Bill Asale. Investigators have issued subpoenas, executed at least one search warrant in recent weeks as they examine whether foundation leaders or related organizations improperly managed charitable funds. The scope of the probe unclear. No criminal charges have yet been filed. The Department of Justice declined to comment. Fox News has reached out to Black Lives Matter. So that's, boy, that's fun. That's really good. That's really good. I'll take it, by the way. Very happy with that. I like seeing people prosecuted. I want to see them convicted. I want to see them put in jail. Things are on the move. Something is always happening have you noticed something is always happening, which is great to see. Let's see. Before we go to that. Yes, More, more, more. I totally agree with you. I think my earpiece is falling out. There's somewhere in my beard hair here. Oh, my. You know what? How could this thing. I'm sorry. There is a person under here. All right, enough of that. Enough of that, man. Yeah. Thank you, Brafty. Brafty loves the costume. It's so. It's Dumbledore. But I can only go so long with it now. There we go. I'll keep the. The wizard's robes on. Now we've got. So we got the government shutdown continuing. There are Democrats who have no idea why the government's even shut down, which is really funny. This. This clip is Congresswoman Janelle Bynum. She can't even say why she voted to shut the government down. Take a look here. This is a cut nine. This Democrat congresswoman, not a clue in the world as to why they shut the government down. Watch.

Kamala Harris (53:07)

They did have a clean CR vote on September 19th in the House. Did you vote for it? I disagree with your characterization and want to make sure that we're very clear about what Republicans have been doing. Any bill that they've put forth, they've always had some extra stuff to it. There's always been a poison pill to it. So I disagree with your characterization. What were the poison pills of the clean CR or the continuing resolution? You say it's not clean. That was voted on in the House in mid September. Here's what's important. I think what you're trying to do is shift the responsibility to Democrats.

Vince (53:50)

It's so funny. I love that clip. That clip makes me laugh a lot. It's really, really great. She's like, okay, you said there's a poison pill in the bill. What was the poison pill? Here's what I think needs to happen. I think. I think you need to be held accountable for trying to shift responsibility to the party that bears responsibility. The Democrats.

Matt Palumbo (54:09)

Yeah.

Vince (54:10)

Great. That's hilarious. Boy, we. You know what? This feels like some sort of ancient Chinese proverb. If you're gonna have enemies, may they be idiots, because that chick is for sure. She's one of them. These Democrat lawmakers, they have no idea it's completely indefensible. So they don't even know how to summon a defense. There she is. She's a real Democrat congresswoman. And that is really the only way I'm ever going to remember her now is the idiot who couldn't come up with an excuse for the shutdown. And then there's Hakeem Jeffries. Hakeem Jeffries, the dial up Democrat. The man whose brain operates with a dial up tone. Remember the dial up tone? That's how his brain operates. In between every word, you get a dial up tone from Hakeem Jeffries. Here he is, he's clinging to the chaos. He's now saying that Republicans are liars. They're liars. Here's Hakeem.

Hakeem Jeffries (55:10)

There's been bipartisan opposition to the partisan Republican spending bill in both the House and in the Senate. And that bipartisan opposition in the Senate has continued 13 different times. Republicans hold press conferences every day. And you know what they do? They lie to the American people. These people are stone cold extremist liars, starting from the very top.

Vince (55:37)

Stone cold extremist liars, he says as his tiny little brain tries to process the words that are coming out of his stupid mouth. They're just a bunch of liars. No, they're not. No, they're not. They've been telling the truth. It's the Democrats who shut the government down. And now we're barreling towards. It's Halloween, so we're barreling towards November. Of course, November starts tomorrow. And as a result, we're watching as food stamps are gonna disappear. And I'm concerned about that for the people who are legitimate, legitimately in need of food aid, who are not gonna be able to get it now, thanks to the Democrats making their lives more miserable on purpose. The Democrats have been bragging about the suffering that they've inflicted on the United States and saying, your suffering is our leverage. Does that mean that everyone who takes food stamps should be receiving them? No. No. We got to kick illegals off of food stamps. We got to kick the able bodied off of food stamps. Meaning we got to get to a point where people who are capable of generating an income and getting a job and being gainfully employed and feeding their families. We've got to get to the level where they're off of this. It's supposed to be, again, what is it? Chat a hand up, not a handout. Hand up, not a handout. That's the move. But right now, for those people who have no other choice, food stamps, what they're relying on, Democrats are the reason they won't be receiving them. Democrats. You can thank Democrats for that. And are they going to lie about this? Sure. That's all they're doing right now. They're just lying about it. Oh, Republicans did this. Republicans did this. Okay. You know, amidst all of this, they keep saying things like, well, Republicans control the House and the Senate. If they just wanted to blow past the filibuster, they could open the government again. Okay, I'll take that deal. I'm fine with that deal. Let's do it. President Trump just called for it this morning. Let's invoke the nuclear option. Let's play the trump card. Let's get America back up and running. And while we're at it, if we don't need any Democrat votes to do anything, let's fix the whole country. Now's the time we've got to do it. That would be a real treat you want to talk about. Trick or treat. That's the treat for the American people. Fix our country. We don't have any time to waste. As your opportunity. I want to thank you as always. I really hope you have a fantastic Halloween. Have a great Halloween. What are you guys going as, Chat? What's everybody dressed up as? Am I the only one dressing up for Halloween? I have. In case you're wondering, like, why does Vince have a Dumbledore costume? Because I have a daughter and because I purchased this costume several years ago in order to accompany her to some event where she dressed up as Hermione and. Which was a lot of fun. I loved it. But since then, I thought, how am I going to get every last dollar out of that thing? I did spend some good money on it. Well, I'll wear it on the. I'll wear it on the show. I showed it this morning as we were getting ready for the show, and I think producers Justin and Guy were a little staggered by the fact that I was. That I was dressed up. But that's okay. The surprise is part of the fun. It is great to have you with us. I've got the big national radio show coming up today. There are so many stories to cover. We'll hit what we can. You can listen to it live on your local radio station. Just go to the VIN Show.com to get your local listing. And we've also got the rumble.com rumble.com Vince feed. You can watch the video live. Should I. Hey, fellas, Should I go out with some music? You want to do that? Such a screech. You'll shake and shudder in surprise when you hear these zombies shriek.
