In "Maximum Political Warfare," Dan Bongino dives deep into the escalating political and cultural divisions shaping America in 2026.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Patriotism vs. Revisionist History

• Opening Rant on America’s Greatness (00:10–03:00)

  • Bongino expresses frustration at what he calls the American left’s tendency to disparage the country:
    “I don’t understand this endless magnet... [they] need to shit on this place all the time... you live in the greatest country on earth and they do nothing but bitch and moan.”—Dan Bongino (00:35–01:51)
  • He insists America’s greatness is factual (“GDP growth, economic wealth, the power of our military, legitimate freedom indices...”) and demands accountability while defending national pride.

• Calling Out AOC and Revisionist History (05:31–10:43)

  • Bongino plays a clip of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) arguing that the American Revolution was a revolt against “the billionaires of their time,” and rebukes her interpretation:
    • “Ladies and gentlemen, I get it. This woman has the IQ of like your pet rock... But please do not ever tell me... she’s irrelevant. She is not irrelevant.”—Dan Bongino (07:02–07:19)
  • Details the sacrifices of wealthy Founders like Francis Lewis and George Washington, pointing out they risked and lost fortunes for the cause, not to protect them.
  • Features a response from Michael Knowles reiterating that the Revolution was led by the wealthy against tyranny, not by or for aristocrats (12:09–13:25).

2. Collapse of Institutional Trust

• The Left Undermining Trust (19:17–31:00)

  • Bongino traces the loss of faith in institutions—the FBI, DOJ, the courts—back to Democrat behavior around the Bush v. Gore election, amplified by the Russia collusion hoax and ongoing election denial from prominent Democrats.
  • Cites a recent poll that found ~33% of Democrats believe the Trump assassination attempt was staged (21:17–22:37).
  • Plays clips of Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, and Hillary Clinton alluding to “illegitimacy” and potential election tampering—arguing these claims directly caused public distrust:
    • “This is when faith in institution collapses... And this is what you get. Faith and institutions collapse.”—Dan Bongino (22:27–22:37)

• DARVO and Projection (30:32–30:43)

  • Directs listeners to James Lindsay’s concept of DARVO ("Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender") to understand how, in Bongino’s view, leftists project their failings onto conservatives.

3. Political Violence & Justification

• Polls Show More Leftists Support Political Violence (22:44–24:31)
  • Shares recent stats: 25% of very liberal Americans justify violence for political goals, while only 3% of very conservative Americans do.
  • “That is no bueno, man... if we don’t have a true north... This society will be... take the thread and just pull it up, pull up. You put a hole in the bottom of the boat, folks.”—Dan Bongino (23:03–23:44)

---

4. The “System” and Urban America

• Democrat Control of High-Crime Cities (39:16–44:41)

  • Warns against left-wing politicians like Raphael Warnock and Pramila Jayapal blaming “the system” for crime and poverty in cities they govern:
    • “Of the top 20 highest crime rate cities in the U.S., how many are led by Republican mayors? It’s a zero. You are the system.”—Dan Bongino (40:44–40:57)
  • Critiques urban policies in blue cities, arguing Democrats hold all levers of governance in these areas, and thus are responsible for the negative outcomes.

• Crime Is Geographically Concentrated (44:41–47:20)

  • Plays a viral video from a Canadian woman realizing most U.S. counties have little to no crime, and that crime is concentrated in a few Democrat-run areas.
    • “Crime is not pervasive in the United States. Crime is pervasive in cities and towns run by Democrats.”—Dan Bongino (47:00–47:20)

---

5. Rebuilding Public Safety and Accountability

• Trump & MAGA Era: Policing and Government Response (49:13–52:41)
  • Cites 2025 as a record year for reduced violent crime under strong “broken windows” policing and credits the Trump administration.
  • Highlights Vice President J.D. Vance’s new fraud task force, which coordinates federal agencies to prosecute frauds that, until now, were ignored if under $1.5 million.
    • “There are big things that are happening. But again, it’s going to take time, folks, to reestablish faith in government, because the Democrats are doing everything they can to invert history, get your kids to hate this clubhouse America we belong to.”—Dan Bongino (52:35–52:41)

---

6. The Filibuster, Institutional Reform, and “Maximum Political Warfare”

• Filibuster, Redistricting, and Institutional Defense (54:54–56:14)

  • Warns Senate Republicans that Democrats will abandon the filibuster immediately when it suits them, despite claims to the contrary.
  • Urges Republicans to assertively reform institutions via the SAVE Act, census reforms, and border security.

• Democrats’ Radical Reform Agenda (56:40–57:32)

  • Clips of Hakeem Jeffries and analysts confirming the Democrats’ openness to Supreme Court packing, judicial overhaul, and radical legislative interventions:
    • “We are going to have to explore massive judicial reform state by state and at the federal level. And everything should be on the table as far as I’m concerned.”—Hakeem Jeffries (57:21–57:32)

---

7. Education Spending and School Choice

• New York City School Spending Example (62:23–65:17)
  • Highlights an op-ed: NYC spends $42,000 per student per year. Suggests if parents controlled half of that ($21,000) and saved for 13 years at 2% interest, a child could graduate with ~$300,000 for college/house/entrepreneurship.
    • “$42,000 a student. What are you doing with that money, bro?”—Dan Bongino (65:00–65:08)
  • Argues the left resists this not for education’s sake but to retain political power through control of resources.

---

8. Economic News and China Policy

• Jobs Report: Blue-Collar Gains (65:18–67:25)

  • Plays a segment from economist Peter St. Onge, celebrating 84,000 new blue-collar jobs—crediting economic growth to the current (Republican/MAGA) policy environment.
    • “Sounds like a blue collar revolution to me. Only if you believe in facts and data and not AOC like... oh, babillion billionaires did it.”—Dan Bongino (67:17–67:25)

• Preview: Trump’s Trip to China (68:08–70:44)

  • Reviews China’s growing demographic, fiscal, and resource disadvantages, arguing these weaken its strategic position:
    • “China is in the midst of an enormous demographic decline... their local governments are bankrupt... The biggest problem China has, which President Trump knows, is they can’t feed themselves and they’re not sitting on pools of oil and liquid natural gas like we are.”—Dan Bongino (69:12–70:33)
  • Urges not to succumb to doom-and-gloom thinking on U.S.-China competition.

---

9. Health Segment: Never Skip Leg Day

• MAHA Moment: Health Tip (71:01–73:04)
  • Bongino shares a health tip emphasizing the importance of training legs, explaining their metabolic and stability benefits for all ages.
    • “Do not skip leg day. They are huge, enormous muscles and you don’t want to lose your balance as you get older.”—Bongino (72:30–73:02)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Revisionist History, AOC & the American Revolution:
  "The signers of the Declaration of Independence, many of them were very wealthy people who lost their freaking money fighting the revolution. You freaking idiot."—Dan Bongino, (07:51–08:14)
• On Institutional Collapse:
  “Faith in institutions has been entirely eviscerated. We can’t have that folks, because again, if faith in institutions is eviscerated and you trust nothing, even the good guys... then there’s no point.”—Dan Bongino (20:15–20:52)

• On Leg Day:
  “Do not skip leg day... those muscles are like repositories of amino acids, glucose dumping systems... I have a really horrendous left knee... and I still train legs twice a week.”—Dan Bongino (72:07–72:30)

That's the infighting on the right. I think we all agree on freedom

[A]

Here's what I'm talking about. I was going to put this at

[C]

the end of the show, right guys?

[A]

And then like a minute ago I'm

[C]

like I'm in a mood today, a good mood, but I'm in adversarial mood. And that I have to.

[A]

We have to course correct the record.

[C]

Okay, aoc.

[B]

I got it, I got it.

[A]

I get it. Before you bail out en masse, it's not about her. She is the liberal left again, like a high powered magnet are attracted to stupidity. On the liberal left, the dumbest people typically win. It's how you get stuck with people like aoc. But she said this the other day about this country and its founding and

[C]

the billionaires with the talking points.

[A]

And it is so disgusting, grotesque and an inverse of what? An inverted sense of reality that if

[B]

we don't correct it and your kids believe it.

[A]

I'm sorry, this shows for nothing.

[C]

Check this out.

[D]

This isn't the heritage of our country because America was founded. You look at Thomas Jefferson writing to Madison in Revolt of British Aristocracy. The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. That's actually the most American thing in the world for us to be fighting for the working class. And it's actually patently un American to try to aspire to transform our country into a place of kings.

[C]

Holy Moses. Ladies and gentlemen, I get it. This woman has the IQ of like your pet rock.

[A]

I understand it. But please, please do not ever tell me in the chat or elsewhere. She's irrelevant. She is not irrelevant. I hate when people say that.

[B]

Just like the black pillars and the doomers.

[A]

They are not irrelevant. They are very relevant.

[B]

They are relevant for the wrong reasons.

[A]

But us pretending they're not relevant is probably the same thing they said about the Bolsheviks.

[B]

Lenin and Stalin too.

[A]

They're irrelevant. Ignore them. They are not irrelevant.

[B]

They have massive followings because dumb people believe this shit. Is she unaware of like the Boston Tea Party? She unaware of what the Declaration of Independence was?

[A]

The whole concept of men being created

[B]

equal, Unalienable rights that she missed that whole thing. Folks, the signers of the Declaration of Independence, many of them were very wealthy people who lost their freaking money fighting the revolution. You freaking idiot. I'm going to play a little clip

[A]

by Michael Knowles in a second, who

[C]

did a great job with this.

[B]

However, I'll give you one.

[A]

I grew up in Queens. Okay? I've lived all over Queens, New York. I lived right in Bayside, Whitestone. Matter of fact, it's where I met Paula. Paula had an apartment in Bayside. It was the first time we went

[B]

out on a date.

[A]

I dropped her off at her apartment. It was like a little place. It was like, I don't know, 400 square feet. This tiny little place. Francis Lewis Boulevard is right there.

[B]

Francis Lewis Boulevard is named after who?

[A]

Anyone know?

[B]

That's great. He got it.

[A]

I was giving him a who's buried in Grant's tomb question. Francis Lewis, for those of you who

[B]

are historic history majors.

[A]

Francis Lewis was a wealthy businessman at the time.

[B]

During the Revolution, the British imprisoned his

[A]

wife under horrendous conditions.

[B]

I mean, tortured this guy and his business and everything else. He's one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was a wealthy, basically in transatlantic shipping. Do you guys not know this? On the left? Are you freaking stupid? All the time? Lefties? How?

[A]

Oh, gosh.

[C]

I want.

[B]

I can't.

[A]

The queens of me needs to come out sometimes so bad, but I. Gennaro, help me. You go into the Merchant, you got discipline. You play football, too, Gennaro, Even though

[C]

you can be on the show today.

[B]

Why liberals do you have to be

[A]

dumb all the time?

[B]

Is there ever a time you choose not to be stupid?

[A]

Washington was wealthy. John Hancock was wealthy. Francis Lewis was wealthy.

[B]

They could have sat on their asses and done nothing and collected their money

[A]

under the protection of the tyrannical British Empire at the time.

[B]

We are going to fight a revolution anyway, even if it cost me every dime. Aoc, are you always this stupid? Do you ever tell the truth about anything? Climate change, taxes.

[A]

Eat the rich while you're, you know,

[B]

swimming in money yourself, you phony fake.

[A]

They could have sat on their asses, American revolutionaries and done jack shit, and they didn't.

[B]

They wanted to freely practice their religion. They wanted to be free of confiscatory

[A]

taxation from a distant empire.

[B]

They wanted to be able to vote for their own leaders and not swear allegiance to the King. Did you miss this shit? Did you go to one history class?

[A]

Folks, do not ignore this stuff. I'm telling you as your friend, this woman is very relevant.

[B]

She's also one of the dumbest human beings you have ever met. This. I'm not even sure this is misfeasance or malfeasance There are a lot of

[A]

very smart people out there.

[B]

Very.

[A]

Liz Warren's very smart, very devious, but she smart, she's not stupid. She knew exactly what she was doing with Pow Wow Chow.

[B]

AOC is just really stupid. The problem is dumb people are attracted again like high powered magnets to other dumb people because they don't want to feel dumb. They don't want to be in a room with smart people so they look like idiots. This stuff resonates.

[A]

The revolution was fought to protect the billionaires. Shut up you idiot.

[C]

Here's my good friend Michael Knowles, who's just unbelievable on these matters and affairs.

[A]

Here's a short clip.

[C]

It's about a minute.

[A]

But really the billionaires, they were fighting

[C]

to protect their billions. Meanwhile, going with that cost them morons. Check out the great Michael Knowles in response to this.

[E]

George Washington, the father of our country and the absolutely invaluable, irreplaceable man of the revolution, was one of the richest men on the continent in his age. At the time of his death in 1799, his estate was valued around $780,000. That's roughly 500 to $600 million today. Inflation adjusted, that would have been worth a little under 0.2% of the entire US GDP at the time Washington was inflation adjusted. If not a billionaire. He probably would have been a billionaire had he not fought in the revolution. But he was pretty close. Other than Washington, we look at another founding father, Robert Morris. Robert Morris was one of two people to sign the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. constitution. Robert Morris was the single richest man in the American colonies of his day. So not only is AOC a little bit imprecise in her analysis, she is exactly perfectly wrong. She has described the inverse of the American Revolution, which was led not against the billionaire class, but actually by the very richest men in the entire colony.

[A]

Hey man, listen to this. Thank you, Michael.

[C]

That's fantastic. Fantastic.

[A]

I want you all to listen to me. Friends don't let friends shit on their country, okay?

[B]

There are.

[C]

Let me tell you something, okay? I've traveled a lot, I've been to, I don't know, doesn't matter, 40 plus countries easily and probably 50 plus cities. Liberals are like, what do you mean?

[A]

There are countries that have multiple cities. Liberal. You'd be surprised how many dumb liberals would be like, how is that possible? They think there's like one anchor city in the country. You go to places that all human beings are created equal.

[C]

That's what the Declaration of Independence Embodied

[A]

that big R God given right. I get that. But not all countries are created equal. That is axiomatically true.

[C]

There are a lot of countries out there that have governing structures that are just shit.

[A]

They're totalitarian, confiscatory, anti freedom, anti capitalist. I tell you that because folks, I've traveled to countries that don't have 1/100th

[C]

of our wealth, our heritage, our allegiance

[A]

to freedom and liberty and God given rights. And you know what? The citizens there are proud of their country even though they couldn't hold a candle to the United States, yet.

[B]

You come here to the greatest country

[A]

on earth and you get this class of dipshits.

[B]

Or all they do all day is

[A]

find a way to drop a big dirty freaking diaper on the United States. And it's exhausting.

[B]

You can see why these kids don't

[A]

want to defend this place. We got kids that are now, they don't want to take care of themselves. They don't want. They're not proud of their country.

[B]

They don't want to live here. Who the hell wants to be in

[A]

a treehouse with a bunch of dipshits? They don't. You're in a freaking gold plated tree house full of wonderful, amazing people.

[B]

Look at, I mean look at the revolution.

[A]

Valley Forge, the battle of New Orleans and the War of 1812 and Andrew Jackson and what they did down there.

[B]

Do you have any idea what the

[A]

unbelievable odds that have been overcome?

[B]

So you can sit in your room

[A]

right now and play video games on the most advanced, you know, technological tools of our time.

[B]

You have any idea what people suffered through?

[C]

Folks, it is your job to teach your kids different. I've been bringing up these little historical tidbits every day.

[A]

The Elon tweet yesterday about the Nazi party being National Socialists. They were national socialists who were concerned about basically collectivizing collective power, the confiscation of the means of production and overwhelming government force.

[B]

That's not a conservative principle, bro. They were leftists. That's just a fact.

[C]

Oh yes. What is that?

[A]

415 LMNETT LIM in the chat I listen every day. Today's the first day live vacation day for. Well, welcome brother or sister. It's good to have you live. The live show is the best because

[C]

I get to interact.

[A]

Flag this chat. His grace 67 flag it.

[C]

Sibley says this is why your voice is so important. It's not just my voice. It's Michael Knowles. I promise you. I appreciate that. It means a lot. I ain't the only voice out there and ain't as a word for the purpose of this. Okay, I'm not the only voice out there. There's a lot of them.

[A]

But man,

[C]

you should wake up every day, every single day.

[A]

I'm not kidding.

[C]

And manifest beautiful things in your life. And thank God, capital G God for being born in this country at this time.

[A]

While we're on a roll with good news, more good news rolling out yesterday. In addition to the economy. I got that coming up in a little bit. Supreme Court vacated an Alabama ruling. Check this out. In politics and poll Tracker Breaking news. U.S. supreme Court vacates Alabama district court order requiring the state to draw a congressional map. With two majority black voting districts in a 6:2 decision, Alabama can now draw a more Republican friendly map. We're probably going to get another GOP one point. Point is this.

[B]

Stop with the doom and gloom and just get out and vote.

[A]

It's not you. You guys and ladies are great. You love this country. You'll fight for it. You're like yeah, take a freakin nuclear war to stop me from voting in the midterms. It's the doomers and the fence sitters that are always finding something to complain about. There's good news every day. Did you see the jobs numbers yesterday? They just destroyed expectations. There's a ton of good things to vote for, man. A ton. You only focus on the bad stuff. That's all you're ever going to see. The placebo effect is real.

[C]

The power of your mind is an incredible thing. Folks, the left, what we're fighting is

[A]

we're fighting to get back to some

[C]

compass with true north because we're not there anymore.

[A]

You've seen it a little bit on

[C]

people infiltrating on our side too that don't want you to trust anything.

[A]

Anything.

[C]

That's why I'm so happy Charlie's trial is going to be televised. I have no time for BS and nonsense.

[A]

I might compass points true north and that's it. We are anchored in facts and reality

[C]

and that's all we're going to do.

[A]

End the story. You want to get lost in the

[C]

ecosystem of craziness, you know, with Erica Kirk, conspiracy, nonsense, do your thing.

[A]

But this is not the place for you. And that's okay. You do your own thing. You get a compass that open it once, it points north the next time, it points east the next time and it's always north. The east isn't north. Okay, the left is seeing this right now. We do not want to become them. Every action is going to have a reaction. And you're seeing it in live time as faith in institutions absolutely collapses everywhere. And the left did this. They started it years ago. It wasn't even started with the Russia collusion hoax. It was started with the Bush v. Gore election, with the whole stolen election thing. George W. Bush stole the election from Al Gore. Some of you are old enough to remember that that is not what happened. Okay? Faith in institutions has been collapsing probably before then, but I mean definitely leveled up after the Bush v. Gore election. It hit peak red line bullshit with the Russia collusion hoax after the 2016

[C]

election of Donald Trump.

[A]

And now because the left has weaponized so many different institutions from the DOJ to the FBI to the Pentagon to HHS to the EOP Executive Office of the President, everything has been weaponized for political reasons. People just don't trust anymore anything. Faith in institutions has been entirely eviscerated. We can't have that folks, because again, if faith in institutions is eviscerated and you trust nothing, even the good guys

[B]

who went and did their duty and

[A]

are doing it now to clean the place up, then there's no point.

[B]

You might as well just plead for

[A]

anarchy and live by yourself in a tent somewhere. And believe me, you don't want that.

[C]

We have to fix is up to us to course correct.

[A]

There's no other choice.

[C]

What am I talking about? You may have seen this break yesterday.

[A]

I got to tell you, even for the left, you may not find this shocking, but I did.

[C]

This number was staggering in this Washington Post story. Many Americans think the Trump assassination attempts were fake.

[A]

About one in four say the correspondent's dinner shooting was staged. The poll found, including roughly a third

[C]

of Democrats as conspiracy theories spread widely online.

[A]

You're telling me 30 plus percent of Democrats think Donald Trump faked the White House correspondents dinner shooting. Do you have any idea the level of peak insanity we're talking about right now? That if you're in a group of 100 people, 30 to 33 of those people, if they're Democrats, believe the shooting was fake. Do you have any idea how freaking insane that is? Now you're seeing what action reaction looks like.

[C]

The action went the action by the left.

[A]

Every election has been stolen. Every election. I take that back. Every election we lose has been stolen by the Russians, by Jeb Bush in Florida. Do you remember Bush v. Gore? By the Florida Supreme Court. Donald Trump belongs in prison. Impeach him on a made up BS line about a phone call.

[B]

This is when faith and institution collapses. Faith in institutions. Excuse me? And this is what you get. Faith and institution. Faith and institutions collapse.

[A]

And this is what you get.

[B]

You get no compass with a North star.

[A]

Here's another one. Look at his tweet. Unacceptably large numbers of people right now, very liberal Americans say violence can be justified to achieve political goals, compared with 3% of very conservative Americans. This is bad, but good. The bad news is you go in a room of 100 very liberal nut

[B]

bags and 25 of them think it's okay to kick you in the freaking balls. That is not good. That is no bueno, man. The good news is you're only going to find three on the conservative side. And it shouldn't even be that,

[C]

folks,

[A]

if we don't have a true north,

[C]

you.

[A]

You know, I know to all the lunatics on the left, the quarter of the very liberal population that thinks punching someone in the nuts or something, or God forbid, worse, which they've engaged in shooting and killing and murdering people is acceptable, you think that this, you, this society will be. Take the thread and just pull it up.

[B]

Pull up.

[A]

You put a hole in the bottom of the boat, folks. They did this through their persistent, persistent attacks on institutions. You look back at polls, you think I'm bullshitting. You go back and look at old polls that, you know, faith in our military, faith in law enforcement, faith in the FBI.

[C]

I knew what we were dealing when we got there.

[A]

I knew it. Make no mistake. Make no mistake. You look at old polls, people were like 80, 90% FBI, military, law enforcement. And then the left started with their election denier bullshit. Don't trust anyone. Everyone in government's always stealing elections.

[B]

This is a leftist thing.

[A]

And you see. And then get the FBI and DOJ involved, then get the impeachment process going, then start weaponizing the Pentagon with all the COVID stuff, and everything collapses. They are the ones who did this. They are the ones who did this. You did not do this. I've been accused in all kinds of outlets of being like an election. I never denied an election happened. I just questioned the mass mail in balloting in the 2020 election, given the propensity for fraud and mail in balloting that the New York Times themselves has acknowledged in an article they wrote.

[B]

I'm an election denier.

[A]

I don't deny an election. The left are the ones who have fostered uncertainty. He was Nancy Pelosi in an interview that was making the rounds again yesterday on social media. I want you to listen to this very clearly. You want to see why there's no compass with true north and why 25% of the liberals out there think political violence is okay. 33% think that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was staged. It's stuff like this.

[C]

Check this out.

[F]

So many things that you can do to protect the election, and they are being done, whether it's litigation or legislation or just mobilization, mobilization, communication, all that. But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count.

[B]

I thought we.

[A]

Justin, you were with us when you mentioned the voting machines you were banned from. You remember that you were banned from YouTube. There were, like, technology executions going. Summary technology executions before Elon bought Twitter. If you even mentioned that on Twitter, you were, like, sent to the Phantom zone.

[B]

Remember Superman 2 or something with Zod?

[A]

When they put them in the glass, that's where you were banished to the glass Phantom zone.

[B]

But there's Nancy Pelosi. Did she just not say that you guys played the clip? Oh, you got to be careful.

[A]

They're going to break into the vote.

[B]

Are voting machines a problem or not? If they are, I don't care if Nancy Pelosi said so or not. We should check that out, right?

[A]

Looking at it in 2020 in Georgia going on right now.

[B]

Mm. However, it's just kind of weird when

[A]

Nancy Pelosi says it's a. Okay, but God forbid you question it. You definitely need to be banished to the glass screen. Phantom zone with Zod and the big tall guy and I forget the lady's name. I forget the.

[C]

I only remember Zod for some reason.

[A]

She's not the only one. She's not the only one. The left did this.

[B]

You want to see why people don't

[A]

trust elections, don't trust institutions, Blame your local communist slash Democrats. Cuz it's the same freaking thing. They hate this place. Anything they can do to diminish faith in people who are proud of this country, which is typically conservatives and Republicans, they will do. Anytime we win, they will try to destroy it. Here's Hakeem Jeffries, just a rotting, metastasizing

[C]

cancer on the left.

[A]

Here he is in a little montage here talking about, again, illegitimate presidents. You want. Now you want to see why there's no compass true north and why nobody trusts institutions. Blame them, not us.

[C]

Check this out.

[G]

Cloud of illegitimacy around the election of Donald Trump. Russia interfered with our election, attacked our democracy for the sole purpose of artificially placing someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They were successful. There is clearly a cloud of illegitimacy hanging over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that's growing bigger by the day. There's a cloud of illegitimacy that continues to hang over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. So called President of the United States. So called President. So called President. So called President.

[A]

Hat tip on XD Slopes is back.

[C]

Got to give the creators their due. Thank you for that.

[A]

That's Hakeem Jeffries again. Why does nobody trust institutions? Thank your local Democrat. Here's one more gem just to remind you Democrat jokers out there who've completely inverted history like aoc.

[B]

Yeah, the revolution was fought to protect billionaires.

[A]

You're an idiot. Republicans have destroyed faith institution.

[B]

We've done no such thing.

[A]

We've cleaned them up after you destroyed them.

[B]

Here's Hillary Clinton saying the same and parroting the same BS line.

[A]

You want to see why we have no compass true north anymore and nobody agrees on anything. Again.

[B]

Walk into your local Democrat office peacefully

[A]

and patriotically and thank them for destroying faith and institutions.

[C]

Check this out.

[H]

He knows he's an illegitimate president. I think it's also critical to understand that as I've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign. You can even become the nominee and you can have the election stolen from you.

[C]

Folks. Breaking this fever is going to take time. That's the only piece of not great news I have for you on on the Republican side.

[A]

There is no one better to break

[C]

this fever than Donald Trump and he knows it. Yes. Desert rat 4865 in the chat projection

[A]

accusing us of what they are doing.

[B]

Correct? Correct.

[A]

Or go to James Lindsay's work, look

[C]

up Darvo D A R V O and you'll see what they do.

[A]

It's an inversion of all of it as a distraction from what they're doing while they try to steal your country away from you by evaporating faith and institutions. Ladies and gentlemen, without fidelity to our founding documents and our law, you have nothing but anarchy.

[B]

The Constitution is not going to stop

[A]

someone from robbing someone in the street.

[B]

You don't just put up the Constitution

[A]

like Captain America's shield. You have to believe in it and the principle that the person you'd be robbing has an inalienable right to not be mugged and have the shit kicked out of him.

[C]

Donald Trump was joking about this yesterday at tds. This guy. I'm telling you guys, you'd have a secondary career as A comedian. What he's done.

[A]

I know the beginning of the show

[C]

is heavy, but listen, when I'm in a mood, I just got to roll with it. That's why I switched it around today. I'm going to take a quick break and we'll get right back to that.

[A]

Hey, summertime.

[C]

Expenses in 2026 are stacking up faster than ever. From pricey family vacations and gas prices

[A]

to looming tuition and camp fees.

[C]

It's happened before that with the Bush v. Gore election. But it's taken them decades upon decades to ruin where we are right now and turn this golden tree house into a treehouse of dirty diapers. Okay?

[A]

That's what they're trying to do. It's going to take a long time

[C]

to clean out and disinfect this message. You like that guy? The treehouse of dirty. Well, that's good. I never said it before. He said it earlier. Here's Donald Trump yesterday in the Oval Office just doing a great job.

[A]

I gotta tell you, the idea.

[C]

He's obviously being kind of a bit silly and funny.

[A]

He's like, I got an idea to get things passed.

[C]

This revolutionary idea that they can help people on the Democrat side get over their tds.

[A]

It's actually a pretty great idea. Impractical, but an amazing idea.

[C]

Check this out.

[I]

Well, they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. To be honest, they don't even know what they're looking at. They can't even see straight. But I have a new way out. I'm going to propose something, the opposite of what I want and we will have massive amounts of legislation.

[C]

No, just.

[I]

All I have to do is we will not build the wall.

[B]

Diabolically so. No, I'm going to do it, Kenny.

[I]

We'll put it. I think I'm going to go the opposite. Whatever is bad, I'm going to go for it and they'll approve what's good.

[B]

Finally.

[I]

No, they, they've got serious Trump Derangement syndrome, which actually is a disease. I, I'm hearing it is actually a disease.

[A]

Whether it's a functional virus or not, I am unsure. I am not a Virologist. I don't know what the or not or not or lethality would be of

[C]

the TDS virus or even if it's real.

[A]

I will tell you this though, if you. He's joking, obviously, but you and I

[C]

know damn well what he's saying is true.

[A]

If Donald Trump were to come out

[C]

tomorrow and say, you know what? We're never building the wall under any circumstances, I will not allocate another dollar of public funds to this wall.

[A]

The Democrats would come out and accuse him of being against public safety.

[B]

It's just true. It's just true. They don't.

[A]

There's no guiding principle compass true north on the left at all. None. Everything they do, ladies and gentlemen, is a dance. Like that Tennessee guy.

[B]

Everything they do is a performance.

[A]

By they, I mean the left. I'm really sorry, but that's just a fact.

[B]

Again, shrouded his opinion.

[A]

But it's a fact. It's based in fact.

[B]

Everything they do is a performance.

[A]

They will lick their finger. See where the winds go. Oh, I saw this. This was great. TDS the treatment. Trusting in Trump. Listen to national anthem, Limit fake news.

[C]

Don't be a panic. And I saw.

[A]

Is that from the White House?

[C]

There's your car.

[A]

Maybe Dr. Oz wrote that script. Folks, everything the left does is a freaking dance. It's all performative, it's all bullshit all the time. Here.

[C]

I want to show you this clip of Raphael Warnock, a really awful senator from how in Georgia.

[A]

I don't. I don't get it.

[C]

I don't understand. I don't get how Georgia is stuck with these two absolute zeros in the Senate. To my Georgia friends, please. They gotta go, man. We gotta do better in the next election with him all soft's up now. He's got a whole bunch of problems with the SPLC and elsewhere.

[A]

Vote him out. Here's Raphael Warnock. I want you to pay very close attention to this. This is what I'm talking about.

[C]

By leftists and progressives being all about

[A]

performance and the dance and never about actual spreadsheets and results. Ever listen to him call out how the sit. Just like aoc. The system. The system is rigged.

[B]

What system? You're in charge, bro. You're in charge. What are you talking about?

[C]

Check this out.

[J]

Every day people know that the system is stacked against them. They know it in their bones and they. They don't always have the words, you know, that we want to use.

[A]

They know it. Do they feel like they can change it?

[J]

Feel it? Yeah, I think I think that's that, you know, some, you know, that's the thing. Do people feel empowered to change it? And I do think that there are a lot of people who feel powerless, which is why they signed up for Donald Trump. You asked me that question earlier. Let me ask it, Answer it more directly. I think that there are people and I do think it's overstated. Donald Trump didn't have this whole huge slew of black men voting for them. I think part of that was a game they played during the election in 24. I think they were trying to create a permission structure, a bandwagon so people would jump on it. But they were not overwhelming. It was one is too many. But there were overwhelming numbers of black men voting for Donald Trump.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

It's the part of the show where, I don't know, maybe it'd be controversial.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

The only reason it'd be controversial is because it's true. Liberals never want to hear this. Can I just talk for a second while I'm talking to everyone, but specifically to viewers of my show who are black and Hispanic. Do you understand how effed you guys and ladies are getting right now by guys like this system's keeping you down?

[B]

The system.

[A]

If you're doing a probability equation and you live in a majority or even where there's a decent sized plurality of black or Hispanic voters, there is a very good chance, an overwhelming chance that the mayor of the town or city you live in is a Democrat. Baltimore, all kinds of other places, there is a damn good chance you're being led by Democrats.

[B]

So that's the system. That's the system.

[A]

Correct. You live in a governing system he's talking about. So I pulled some numbers. I went to Grok because I figured, you know, we should use a non

[C]

insane AI once in a while.

[A]

I went to Grok and I asked it a simple question.

[C]

This is a screenshot of my phone, my actual phone.

[A]

Of the top 20 highest crime rate

[C]

cities in the U.S. how many are

[A]

led by Republican mayors or executives?

[C]

Figured I'd broaden out, you know, county executive or whatever it is.

[B]

So it had to think a minute.

[A]

Gee, what number did it come up with? Gee's like it came up with something that looks like a donut.

[B]

It's a zero. It a freaking zero. Dear Senator Warnock.

[A]

Leave this up, Keith.

[B]

That's the system. You are the system.

[A]

0 of the top 20 highest crime rate cities by violent crime per 100,000 residents are led by Republican mayors or executives. I'm Sorry, that's not funny at all. The tragically comical part is that people fall for this on Pod Save America, the left leaning podcast show that by the way, has a huge audience too.

[B]

These guys are.

[A]

They're not irrelevant. They have a massive audience. Top five everywhere.

[B]

People listen to this stuff. There are people out there listening to Raphael Warnock.

[A]

Not just black and Hispanic voters.

[B]

Young, white, impressionable voters too. Yeah, bro, the system really effed me over. They're the system, the Democrats. You are dying in these high crime areas not because of Republicans. We're not in charge down there. You did not vote us in. You voted in Democrats. For generations that have given you this. They've given you shit. At what point do you say I demand accountability? What company, what baseball team, what football team would you allow to lose every single game for every year or. Or company to never turn a profit without turning over the leadership? No one. So why are you doing it in these towns, cities and municipalities where your kids are being gunned down? The economy is shit, the GDP growth is terrible, the jobs are terrible, and your supermarket is like a bodega or a corner store. Why are you allowing this to happen without a leadership turnover? Anyone?

[A]

Josh, why you're here.

[B]

You shouldn't have walked out. Tell me why. He doesn't know why. Nobody knows why. He's like, I don't know, Dan.

[A]

By the way, someone should tell communist Representative Premier Jayapal that Seattle is one of these places that's been led by far left Democrats for a very long

[B]

time as a crazy lunatic.

[A]

Katie Wilson, whatever her name, in charge now. Premier Jayapal put this out the other day.

[C]

Seattle's got one of the worst housing

[A]

crises in the country. I see it every time I'm in my home district. People can't afford rent. This is a policy failure, not an inevitability. We built this crisis by choosing developers over people. We can choose different.

[B]

We can choose differently. This is hilarious. As if the Democrats have not run Seattle into the ground. Is she unaware of that? Pramila Jayabel, did you miss this?

[A]

Oh, thank you, guys. As of May 2026, Seattle has not

[B]

elected a Republican mayor in over five decades. You are the system, Pramila Jayabel.

[A]

Guys, I can't take the inversion in rewriting a history. Man. Teach. Remember that song? Teach your children.

[B]

You have to go out and teach your kids this.

[A]

These places that have descended into crime

[B]

infested economic hell holes are run by Democrats and have been for generations. They are the system. You want to go fight the man? They're the man. You want to go fight this system? They're the system. They're the system. That's why I say, oh, this may sound like it's not an opinion. It's based in fact. Seattle is not led by Republicans. The top 20 cities for crime are not led by republicans. That's not Dan's opinion. That is a freaking fact. Objectively. That is an objective fact. You want to see what it looks like, by the way, when younger folks

[A]

get the truth, just slams them right in the face. I saw this video making the rounds on social yesterday. It's a Canadian woman and she hears this statistic that the overwhelming majority of crime, which I've told you over and over, this is not a crime infested

[C]

country, the United States.

[A]

The democrats want you to believe that so that they don't have to take responsibility for the pockets of the country they run that are crime infested.

[B]

So they want you to believe crime is everywhere. It is not.

[A]

Jasmine, on the way to work, how many carjackings have you witnessed?

[B]

Zero.

[A]

She's given us the zero sign. She's like big donut.

[B]

Dan,

[A]

it is not everywhere. The democrats and their blue cities own the crime problem. This is what it looks like when a Canadian young lady gets red pilled. Figuring out that this statistic she saw is pretty close to accurate. Just watch this video.

[C]

Check this out.

[K]

Canadian, I was 100, led to believe that America was just dangerous all over the place and you were just gonna dodge bullet the second that you walked outside of the house. So fun fact. This statistic right here just changed how I view everything. It's true. One study found that over half of all murders in the United states happen in just 2% of the counties. Now let's think, think about that for a second. The United States of America has over 3, 000 counties and a majority of murders are concentrated in a tiny fraction of them. Meanwhile, over half of the u. S. Counties had zero murders and around 68% of counties had either zero or one murder for the entire year. So what does that mean? That means that the violence people see on TV and in the media is incredible. Incredibly geographically concentrated. It's not evenly spread all over the United States like you're told and people imagine. And as a matter of fact, a huge percentage of violent crime is tied to very specific areas. Gang activity, drug activity, repeat offenders, trafficking and poverty. Heavy urban pockets.

[A]

That's the only Canadian bacon on TikTok. She's correct about the general premise of the video. Crime is not Pervasive in the United States.

[B]

Crime is pervasive in cities and towns run by Democrats. Like dancing guy in Tennessee who's supposed to be looking after Tennessee and Memphis and is busy dancing. I never heard a word from this

[A]

guy in the FBI.

[B]

Not a word.

[A]

Justin Pearson.

[B]

Not a peep.

[A]

While we were doing Operation Viper cleaning up Memphis.

[B]

This is. This broken windows policing. This is why it worked. Yes.

[A]

With the dancing. This is.

[B]

Everything they do is a performance. Everything.

[A]

Guys, listen.

[C]

I'm not an evangelist, okay?

[A]

I'm just a guy who gets off at stupid stuff. I'm not telling you again that the Republican Party has all the answers all the time. We've got our own knuckleheads in our party. Believe me, I get it.

[B]

I'm just telling you that you haven't

[A]

even given, what, the worst Republican a

[B]

shot because you've had Democrats in charge for 60 years. There's no way. You can't even blame the worst Republican out there because you've never elected one, no less a good one.

[A]

Like a Rudy Giuliani went and cleaned up New York.

[B]

You know, many people are alive today

[A]

cuz of Rudy Giuliani and what he did in New York City. I say this all the time to

[C]

people when they ask me about how

[A]

we crushed violent crime in 2025. Best year the FBI ever had ever, by far. Murder rate down double digits.

[B]

And the answer is really simple. How many murderers do you know? The answer is probably none. Why? Because it's very rare.

[A]

Once you find people who are in gangs who will kill people, assassinate people and do other things. Gang murders. And you pull them off the street.

[B]

They don't kill people.

[A]

There's not a lot of them. This is not a country plagued by violence.

[B]

That's a left wing talking point.

[A]

And it's an attempt to remove responsibility from the AOCs, the Hakeem Jeffries of the world, the Justin Pearsons of the world, and others who are in charge of areas where pockets of crime are out of control. And they want you to believe the

[C]

problem's everywhere when it's not.

[A]

This administration. President Trump, J.D. marco Rubio, Cash, Todd. They are absolutely tip of the spear.

[C]

Problem is public safety for them and

[A]

they're going to clean it up.

[B]

Broken windows.

[A]

Policing, however, is not just limited to

[C]

violent crime, ladies and gentlemen. White collar crime is a big deal in this country.

[A]

Crypto scams, everything.

[C]

People lose their livelihoods.

[A]

Vice President Vance is now in charge

[C]

of this task force. That's a big deal when you put the vice president in charge of something. Believe me, he is a results oriented guy.

[A]

You do not want to be at

[C]

the FBI, DEA or elsewhere.

[A]

He's in charge. And then they ask what'd you do this week?

[B]

Ah, nothing.

[A]

I was sitting on my ass. That's not the way that's going to roll. That's how important this fraud scheme in Minnesota, California and other in other states. It's all over the country, Florida and elsewhere. We have that problem too is to the president. Put J.D.

[C]

vance in charge. He did an interview yesterday with Nick. Nick Shirley. Here's a quick cut from the interview. This is important because there's a couple of things I want to point out about this interview that should ring your bell. Check this out.

[A]

Now that we have the fraud task

[C]

force here inside the United States, what

[E]

will you guys be doing different than something that we haven't done before to tackle fraud here?

[L]

Well, two really big things, Nick. So the first of all is we're going to be coordinating across the government in a way that's really never been done before to focus on anti fraud. So let's say for example, that Scott Besant or somebody at the Secretary of Treasury's office sees a fraudulent payment made. But it's not, you know, it's not at the Treasury Department, it's at the center for Medicare and Medicaid. There's going to be coordination now so that when one person in the government sees fraud happening, they're actually telling everybody else so that we can get to the root of it and hopefully prosecute it. And that leads me to my second point. And maybe the most important is we've never before within the Department of Justice had a committed anti fraud task force, a committed Assistant Attorney General who's focused on the fraud issue. What our new AAG Focus on Fraud has told me that, that right now we don't even prosecute fraud that's under $1.5 million. Which means there's a lot of fraudsters who never get caught, who never get punished. We're changing that too.

[A]

I don't want to read another bullshit article from the left wing media that oh, they're pushing violent crime, they're letting property crime go. They are not. They are not. Three points about this. JD Vance is the Vice President. He's in charge. I'm telling you, haven't worked in the government. When you're answering to the Vice President's office, you better have a damn answer like every freaking day about what you did. Number one. Number two, he's not wrong about the coordination. They have meetings in the White House situation room, in the skiffs down there all the time. You get the deputies and the principals in a room, everybody's. And you'll have like a. A Miller or Tony Salisbury. When I was at.

[B]

They'll be sitting at the front of

[A]

the table, and you better produce something.

[B]

You better not come in there with,

[A]

like, you know, I don't know nothing about. Nothing about that.

[B]

That's not the way this works.

[A]

And then third, he brought up a great point there. There are these things in the. In the executive branch under DOJ called blanket declinations. If a property crime doesn't reach a certain amount of money, it's really hard to prosecute it federally because they just don't have a lot of United States attorneys. That was probably too high. And he mentioned like, 1 million. So when you bump that down, that's going to be more people who can get flushed into the federal system, which

[C]

is a lot harder on property crime.

[B]

These are big things.

[A]

They're big things that are happening. But again, it's going to take time, folks, to reestablish faith in government, because

[B]

the Democrats are doing everything they can

[A]

to invert history, get your kids to hate this clubhouse America we belong to. They're doing everything they can to lie to them about eat the rich. The rich don't pay their fair share. Government health care is the solution.

[B]

Go government. People don't even like to go to

[A]

the government for the freaking DMV to

[C]

get their driver's license.

[A]

You want some government official telling you when you can crack your chest open because you just had a heart attack yet? Good luck with that shit. The Democrats just got smoked in this Virginia redistricting effort where they tried to gerrymander the state and basically destroy any Republican representation for the state of Virginia. John Turley is a pretty great lawyer.

[C]

He does some commentary for Fox.

[A]

He was talking about this on Fox the other day, how the Democrats.

[B]

You would think they would if they

[A]

were sane, which they're not. You would think they would now back down and realize that their own Supreme Court smoked them. But that's not what they're doing. Because we're not dealing with sane people. We're dealing with irrational actors. And if you don't understand that you're

[C]

fighting a wrong fight, check this out.

[M]

SAC and PAC proposal really captures this age of rage. It captures the fact that now many on the left are saying that we will win by any means necessary. And this is a very important issue for Hakeem Jeffries. He's very unpopular with most people in the country. But he hopes to be the next speaker of the United States. But in order to do that, he's got to engineer a major majority. He's got to get Democrats there in the House to vote for him. He's watching that evaporate across the country. So these radical ideas are nothing new. But I think the public needs to understand that. Many of these same voices have been saying publicly that they will pack the Supreme Court as well as soon as they take power. Many Democratic pundits and politicians have said that they want to pack the Supreme Court to create an instant liberal majority. It's the same mindset of by any means necessary, no institution, no value is truly sacred.

[C]

Folks, they are not messing around. They are not messing around the left.

[A]

They are not kidding.

[C]

Why is this important right now, right now, this second?

[A]

Because the SAVE act and the filibuster

[C]

are being held on to, excuse me,

[A]

like clung to like a koala bear, like clings to the mama bear by institutional Republicans who are somehow convinced that they're dealing with the old Democrat party. Like the old Tip o', Neill, Reagan,

[C]

you know, halcyon days, which weren't really true, but they talk about all the

[A]

time, you know, my five point plan, Dump the filibuster, pass the SAVE act, reform the census, get the redistricting under control and control the border.

[B]

The country will change forever.

[A]

However, notice the two of those. We have got to dump the filibuster.

[B]

I can't understand.

[A]

Maybe the Democrats in the Senate are telling Republicans in the Senate. Trust me, bro, I don't know. I have no reason to believe any of that's actually true. These institutionalists are holding on. Maybe it's lobbyists, I don't know. To a filibuster relic.

[B]

Remember the House?

[A]

You just need a majority. It's very simple. You don't need a majority in the Senate. You need a filibuster proof majority. If we had a majority in the Senate, the Republicans, which we do now, we have the numbers over 50, we have enough, we could pass the SAVE act if we didn't have to get

[C]

past the filibuster hurdle.

[A]

But they're holding onto it because they're

[B]

under this ridiculous belief that the Democrats

[A]

are not going to scrap the filibuster

[B]

when they're saying the exact opposite. Remember what Turley just said?

[A]

Sack and pac. Sack the justices, pack to court. Sack the justices, pack the court.

[B]

That's what they're trying to do in Virginia. That's what they're going to do the second they take power. They've already said it.

[A]

No, they haven't.

[B]

You got Hakeem Jeffries number two. Don't listen to me, Dan.

[A]

You're crazy.

[B]

Am I?

[A]

Okay, maybe you think I'm crazy. Is Hakeem Jeffries crazy, too? Here's Hakeem Jeffries talking about radical measures when they get in charge to do exactly what I just said and basically hijack power, take lever power of all

[C]

three levers of government back. Check this out.

[G]

We've got to, for instance, make sure we pass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Advancement act so we can end the era of voter suppression in the United States of America once and for all. We have to end Citizens United, dramatically reform our campaign finance laws and to stop the ability of these deep pocketed special interests to intervene. And we are going to have to explore massive judicial reform state by state and at the federal level. And everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned.

[B]

You just listen to a man.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

The guys in the Senate, the Republicans

[A]

in the Senate and the ladies on the Republican side.

[B]

Do you know something we don't? They are openly talking about stealing back

[A]

institutions by engaging in malfeasance.

[B]

The secondary charge. They're going to do everything they can. Everything.

[A]

They're going to try to add new states. They're going to pack the Supreme Court. Dumping the filibuster isn't malfeasance, it's just a rule change.

[B]

But they're going to do it. They're already talking about it. How much more do you. What else do you need to hear?

[G]

Things should be on the table as far as I'm concerned.

[B]

You think this is going to stop them?

[A]

Here's a guy running in Maine, this guy, Graham Platner.

[B]

This is the Nazi tattoo guy running

[A]

on the Democrat ticket.

[B]

You really believe this guy who made

[A]

some really inappropriate comments about the sexual assault, women and all this stuff? This is their guy now in Maine.

[B]

You think this is going to be

[A]

the guy who's going to protect the institution? We got to protect the institution, not dump the filibuster. Listen to this audio interview he did where he's asked about the Nazi tattoo.

[B]

Nazi tattoo? If a Republican was running with a

[A]

Nazi tattoo, they would tar and feather his ass. They love this guy, however, because why? Because they'll invert everything. They have no principles. They don't care about any of this stuff. They care about the raw exercise of weaponized power.

[C]

That is it. Check this out.

[B]

What's been the worst part or some

[C]

of the worst part.

[N]

People insisting that I was a Nazi.

[C]

Yeah, that was fun.

[N]

That was, that was a real, a real special moment in my life. Yeah. And, and then also this kind of sort of conflation with like saying stupid on the Internet as being like somehow like this irreparable thing that is gonna so obviously must mean exactly who you are. I'm like, what the man?

[C]

Like.

[N]

And the thing is, I don't know any normal people that actually think like that. You know, like it's because it's kind of nuts.

[A]

You think this guy is going to protect the institution? Him? Raphael Warnock, Liz Warren.

[B]

Are you serious?

[A]

Bernie Sanders? I don't understand. Guys, I get it. I'm trying to focus our political fire in the right direction here to make sure that we can marshal our resources and, and not spread ourselves too thin.

[B]

But you really believe that this crop

[A]

of Democrat senators they have in there now, outside of Fetterman, they're all lunatics.

[C]

You take a quick break and I want to show you something else here.

[A]

I want to show you a math

[C]

equation out of New York that's going to blow your mind.

[A]

I saw this yesterday.

[C]

I was reading an opinion piece and I thought that can't be right. And I looked it up and it's right.

[A]

You're going to say to yourself, if

[C]

you are a resident of any liberal

[A]

city in America, I want you to

[C]

read or listen to what I'm about to read to you.

[A]

This number and tell me again how we're crazy.

[C]

And you guys got your heads. You guys got your heads pointed in the right direction?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Ken Whittell gifted 50 users Rumble Prim.

[B]

Did he?

[C]

Awesome. Thank you, Ken, in the chat.

[A]

We love you.

[C]

Hey, here's a question. How many brokers does it take to insure your business? I'll give you the answer. If you got a business with good amount of size, a lot.

[A]

And it's a real pain in the butt.

[C]

If you're like most business owners, the

[A]

answer is too many. Multiple policies, multiple applications, the same information over and over again.

[C]

No clear view of how it all fits in and ties together. And when questions come up, it's not easy to get the clarity you need.

[A]

So super sure changes that. One broker for all your business insurance

[C]

backed by a team that works with

[A]

you year round, not just at the time for renewal. And if you've ever stared at a

[C]

policy wondering what it actually covers, I've been there. Super sure has a fine print fax tool. It translates the legal boilerplate jargon into

[A]

plain English so you know what's covered and what's not.

[C]

It's a great tool. Right now you can go to super sure.com bongino check it out.

[A]

Get a full report on on your current policies with no obligation.

[C]

Just check it out.

[A]

Find out if you're overinsured, underinsured, or somewhere in between. Go to super sure.combongino one super agency. One powerful platform. All your policies, one place.

[C]

Go to super sure.combongino that's super sure.combongino paid for by Super Sure Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency. Consult with a licensed insurance producer to discuss coverage options for your specific business needs.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

Super sure super sure.combongino check them out.

[A]

I want to show you this.

[C]

I saw this yesterday and how there

[A]

aren't Spencer Pratt's running in every blue city in America. That is the system that's screwing you. Raphael Warnock, the man Rage against a machine, whatever. To the machine is run by liberals, okay? Blue city mayors, the Mamdames, Karen Bass. They're running these places into the ground. So I'm reading this op ed about

[C]

education spending in New York yesterday. And listen, I'm a big school choice

[A]

advocate, so I follow these.

[C]

I follow the data pretty well, but

[A]

this blew me away.

[C]

So was it Jeff Yass who wrote this Wall Street Journal?

[A]

It's about school spending they are spending in New York. $42,000 per student.

[C]

Yeah. Jeff. Yes.

[A]

The article is called Mom Dummy Can

[C]

make moms into millionaires.

[B]

42,000 per student.

[A]

He Jeff Yass says, I got an idea. How about we take that 21,000 and we give it to the parents to just pick a school.

[C]

You're like, well, that's not 42,000, that's half.

[B]

So he says, we're going to take

[A]

the 21,000, put in a real account, the other half for which the child is the sole beneficiary.

[B]

If it returns only 2%. A 2% return.

[A]

That's not hard, folks. 2%. Invest in a T bill, you'll get more than that. If it returns 2% over the next 13 years, the child will graduate high school with $300,000 enough for college, trade school, or a down payment on home given. $300,000 to a graduate who can read, write, do math, and adios to the affordability crisis. No more need for $30 million. Government, grocery stores, free buses or rent control, he notes.

[C]

This is what hit me.

[B]

This solution.

[A]

Such an obvious win. I'm confident Mr. Mamdani, once he hear it, will agree and change the policy.

[C]

He's being sarcastic.

[A]

Obviously he will not. Why will Mamdami not change the policy? Because it's not about the money. It's not about the education. It is about power. And when the locus of control changes from government controlling the money and sending your kid to a shit school back to a parent who gets their tax money back and now the parent is the locus of control. The whole essence of collectivism, government control, centralized government power, leftist socialism, progressive liberal, communist bullshit falls apart because it doesn't work if they can't control the resources. The resources are the power. Yass is being sarcastic for a reason. $42,000 a student.

[B]

What are you doing with that money, bro?

[A]

Or you could trust in good conservative

[C]

leadership like this new MAGA movement where

[A]

we got an unbelievably good job number.

[C]

Now I'm going to play this Peter Saint Onschlf about the job numbers, but

[A]

I want you to listen to this part of it. This part's important because the AOCs and the others in the imbecile class want you to believe that the Trump economic

[C]

revolution here is only benefited to billionaires.

[A]

That's not what the job numbers that just popped huge showed it all. This has been more of a blue collar revolution. Construction and other areas. Ladies and gentlemen, those are just the numbers. I know on the left that makes you uncomfortable that the Republican Party and

[C]

the MAGA movement is now the party of the middle class while you're the

[A]

party of the rich. You know, white Karens who are sitting there bitching and moaning all the time

[C]

watching AOC videos about the billionaires and all this other dumb shit.

[A]

Listen to Peter St. Ange.

[C]

He does fantastic work on economics, job numbers, financial. Just amazing stuff on the jobs numbers. Check this out.

[O]

American economy added 115,000 jobs last month. Crushing expectations of just 65 considering our labor force is actually shrinking. Deport, baby, deport. That is pure profit. Mainstream media was hardest hit partly because AP journalists are losing their jobs to ChatGPT. So for them it is a jobs Armageddon. But also because legacy media has been praying to the Ouija board for a Trump crash, hoping Saturn will finally punish the peasants. Not today, Saturn in raw numbers. The VLS said we gained 115,000 jobs in April, taking average payrolls this year to 76,000amonth in gains, which is about double last year's pace. That left the unemployment rate unchanged at a tame 4.3% where it's been for roughly a year. The biggest jump was 84,000 blue collar jobs with growth in construction, manufacturing, retail, transport, warehousing, mining and utilities.

[A]

Sounds like a blue collar revolution to me. Only if you believe in facts and data and not AOC like oh babillion billionaires did it.

[C]

Maybe stop thinking about the billionaires and start worrying about your own constituents in your own life.

[A]

You ever try that? Once in a while

[C]

now because the show does facts and not bullshit. There are, there was some not so great news. The inflation number came in a little bit hot. We're not near Biden levels thankfully the peak at 9% he hit but it

[A]

did come in a little bit hot.

[C]

We'll come in a little bit hot which the President's acknowledged a lot of its fuel prices from what's going on in Iran, but that's expected to wrap up hopefully relatively soon, just going by his words and we'll get ahold of that.

[A]

But notice how the left can't do any of that. All they want to feed you is

[C]

their horseshit all the time. A couple more things I want to get to President Trump is headed to China for what is going to be an extremely important meeting with our most significant world rival. There's a really, really great piece if you're interested in by Thomas Duesterberg called in Wall Street Journal. Trump heads to Beijing with a strong hand. Just a couple of points on this folks to the fatalistic doomers out there who are constantly telling us these are

[A]

the same people who told us the

[C]

Soviet Union was going to bury us.

[A]

China's a big concern. I've told you that over and over, zero doubt about it. Some of the their ability through technology

[C]

to surveil us to infiltrate a lot of our infrastructure is very concerning.

[A]

They have an enormous population, a rather large military. The weaponry is sophisticated enough to cause significant problems, there's no doubt. However, this article is great because again, just like I did, I gave you the good news and the bad news. The good news there is I just

[C]

gave you the bad news.

[B]

The good news is this.

[A]

A couple of points in that piece. China is in the midst of an enormous demographic decline due to their one child policy which was a disaster. Their unemployment rate is actually quite high. Their local governments are bankrupt in garbage money and loans they've lent out to just to juice up the economy with shitty garbage, you know, non hurdle rate producing projects. They have a massive amount of debt and keep endlessly printing new money to. The only reason they don't have runaway inflation is because it's an isolated walled off economy, which is a whole different set of problems. No investor wants to invest there. You can never pull your money out their theft economy. Stealing our technology. You can't build an economy because to steal technology it has to be invented first. You ever go to business school? Porter's five forces. There's a first mover advantage. You may say, Dan, them stealing is a big problem. You it's a huge problem.

[B]

But it also means they have to steal.

[A]

Something has to be invented first. And when you're the first mover, we have the advantage. And the biggest problem China has, which President Trump knows, is they can't feed themselves and they're not sitting on pools of oil and liquid natural gas like we are. They can't do any of that feed or power themselves.

[B]

So don't listen to the doom and

[A]

gloom class that always want you to believe or you know all going to be speaking Mandarin in 10 years. I can't stand that stuff. Yes, there's a lot to be concerned about.

[C]

There's also a lot of good things and a lot of power levers President Trump has. And he's not going to be bullied by Xi Jinping. I promise you that's not his bag of donuts.

[A]

You know, I love my health hacks, so here's today's Maha moment of the day.

[C]

I am absolutely committed to making America healthy again. I just got one of my scans I do every couple of years just to make sure everything is okay. So I'm kind of anxiously awaiting the results of that.

[A]

But I saw this post yesterday on

[C]

Twitter and this is kind of an easy one for you, Vivek Gupta put this out there.

[A]

Ladies and gentlemen, never, ever skip leg day. I see this all too often when

[C]

people start working out. Listen, guys are doing their 10 squats an hour. Guy's doing them right now.

[A]

Obviously, make sure you can work out first. See your doctor, get your blood pressure

[C]

check, do all that stuff.

[A]

However, if you are capable and you

[C]

can resistance train, weight train, whatever you

[A]

want to call it, do not skip leg day. I get it. When you're hanging out at the sandbar down in Jupiter or something like that, you're in the waist deep water, which

[C]

is higher sometimes than a Jupiter sandbar. You got to take like a paddle

[A]

board around, nobody sees. You're like, it doesn't matter. Your legs are almost 50% of your muscle mass. I have a really, really horrendous left knee.

[C]

It is like the arthritis in there is bad.

[A]

And I still train legs twice a Week. You got to do it, man. Those muscles are like repositories of amino acids, glucose dumping systems. You have a bunch of excess sugar floating around your system. You got to train legs. I would argue to you if, if you had an exercise gun to your head and they said you have to train one thing or the other, legs

[C]

or upper body, I would actually prefer legs.

[A]

Of course you should do both. Do not skip leg day. They are huge, enormous muscles. You got to train them. Go check out. There are a thousand videos out there in Rumble and Screw Tube and elsewhere. You can pick up Instagram, go to any fitness coach. They'll tell you how to, you know, squats, leg presses, knee, leg extensions, leg curls.

[C]

Gotta train legs. Super important. Big, huge muscles and you don't want to lose your balance as you get older. You know, one of the leading causes of death is for people over 70

[A]

and 80 falls because they have weak

[C]

legs and they can't balance themselves. Don't do that. There's your MAHA moment for the day. I'm trying to incorporate these into the show.

[A]
