All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. So I like hanging in the chat or at least reading the chat. I made a couple comments today. 10, 10 and 10 get out. Make sure 10 posts before the election, 10 phone calls, 10 emails before the midterms. We gotta win. We lose. President Trump gets a peach, period. But, but I was hanging out in the chat room and I got to tell you, number one, I'm really flattered by, you know, Jasmine and I were chatting, she was sitting in the chair right over there before the show and I was saying how we've got this crew of like, I don't know what it is, 10, 20,000 or so. I don't want to exaggerate, but just absolute like Dan Bonino show, Die Hards. And I love you guys and ladies, you're the best one of them. Star wars man or something. Forgive me, I forget the, the name in the chat said, hey man, I got to go to work. I watched the show on demand later but was like hanging out in the chat before the show. Like, that's awesome, man. Star wars man. Or dude or guy or Star Wars McGraw, whatever your thing was. If you can find that man, that's awesome. He was hanging. He's going to watch the show later. He's got to go to work. Hey, people got things to do. I like to be first in the beginning of the day. That's why we do the show early because I don't want to ever be accused. Here's why you want to know why. Not to get off topic, but this is important. I never ever want to be accused of stealing people's stuff. So we go pretty much first. Well, Vince goes at 8, but I'm doing show prep at 8 so I never want to be accused of that. Someone else in the chat wrote before, hey, Dan, people are saying it's going to be World War Three. What do you think, folks? The Iranians, the Russians won't even give them the super sensitive like missile technology or China because they, they know the Iranian mullahs freaking crazy. And the Iranian mullahs sending ballistic missiles and drones all over the Middle east to countries, some countries that in the past may have been considered even quasi allies of them, does not bode well for you. Sharing nuclear weapons technology with them in the future because they know if the Iranians had nuclear weapons that they would have just launched the nukes everywhere and destroyed everything. The World War Three talk is, listen, man, I'm always worried about World War Three. Of course, you know it's a possibility someday some global conflict will break out involving nuclear weapons. Let's all pray and hope to God that never happens. But let's be realistic too. World War Three. We've heard this a thousand times. Abraham Accords, World War Three, move the embassy. World War Three. Soleimani, World War Three, Baghdadi, Baghdad, World War iii. It always World War Three. I want to see freaking data. I'm sorry. After you've made 20 predictions about World War 3 and zero of them have worked out, I kind of like ready to move on from you. Am I crazy folks? One of the things about this show, and I think this is why our audience always kicks ass and takes names and why we're always at the top of these charts is because we just don't bullshit people. We just don't bullshit people. World War Three, I know it makes a great headline. Stunner World War Three tomorrow. But it's just you're never going to build an audience like that long term. That's loyal where people show up in the chat before they go to work because they know you're full of shit. I got a lot to talk about. I got a banger of an opener today. We're going to hit like three or four huge stories right away in the beginning including imho. Fellas, ladies, my humble opinion here. The most dangerous problem we're going to have moving forward. God forbid we lose the midterms and the presidency in 2028. The judicial system right now is being infiltrated and they're not even hiding it by left leaning groups learning how to engage in like jury nullification and selective targeting. It is going to be open season and it's not going to be a matter of reforming federal agencies. This is in federal agencies we're talking about. These are jury pools. I'll show you what I mean. I got that. Really? When I say shocking poll and I mean it, it's not a most so much a shocking poll for us but I promise it was for the Democrats. Today's show brought to you by All Family Pharmacy.

It's her thing so she's very proud of it. You pick one up and if you want1@bungee.com up to you, of course. Totally. So this is going to be a huge monster. Not going to be. It already is. Disregard. Rewind a tape, scratch sound. It already is a problem. The problem is it's going to be an even bigger problem going forward. The left has figured out through weaponizing Government, which again we are doing our best and did our best to clean up it is not going to happen overnight. Again. I'm not going to bullsh you all these other people out there, oh you should have come in there at day one and ax the entire place. Really. You understand how these government hiring people sue. They get their jobs back and they get money then you can never get rid of them. The government system is so bureaucratic and a mess. The left knows this entrenched people weaponize the government. Now they want to layer on another layer of security. So if they engage in another Donald Trump Donald Trump supporter targeting episode they want to be sure even if they can't use the government to do it, they can use state liberal governments and they can weaponize juries. Look at this post by Carrie Severino. You need to check this out. She's a really great analyst about what goes on in the judicial branch of government. She says presenting the left wing dark money apparatus's latest scheme to influence judicial outcomes. Read this and weep. It wasn't enough for George Soros and the dark money web to back far left prosecutors who release criminals or to bolster judges who ignore the rule of law. This is just another aspect of the legal system these groups are trying to infiltrate. This is huge. Check this out. We saw it. Left wing activist groups are teaching libs now how to get through jury selection and vote not guilty on Trump DOJ prosecution's recording show folks. Not an excuse, a freaking explanation. If we don't understand the problem we're never going to be able to fix it. This is a huge problem because you can appoint everyone you want in the Usick, the intel community, the FBI, the doj, select whoever you want for president. If we can't get prosecutions on public corruption because they're just going to vote no on anyone put over there. This is a huge problem now that's already impacted us in a number of cases. I say us, the people, the justice system, the FBI. You've seen it. This is a huge problem. The problem going forward is Washington D.C. is 85 plus percent Democrat when you factor in left leaning independents is probably closer to 90 plus. There are very few Republicans for a jury pool in Washington D.C. but ladies and gentlemen that creates what's known as a math problem. The chances of you getting a Constitutionalist or Republican who actually believes in the rule of law on a jury in Washington D.C. mathematically are not great. If a bunch of big government liberals who just want Trump people prosecuted no matter what and anti Trump People let off. It's a huge math problem. You get two things. You get jury nullification when bad guys get caught. And then on the other side you get selective targeting, like in a number of cases of Trump officials through the D.C. circuit, where cases went on and on despite no evidence whatsoever they did anything wrong. Folks, let me tell you something and you're hearing this from me and it gives me absolutely no pleasure in telling you this, but listen up and as my grandmother, you say, and listen. God, Daniel, listen good. If there is ever going to be a breakup of the national justice system and a cold, legal, legal civil war. I don't mean legal civil war like legal. I mean legal like in the legal judge, judicial process, the legal process. This is going to be it. What do you mean by that? If this gets ugly. And Democrats in Washington, D.C. remember, the sandwich guy throws the sandwich at the cop on camera. They're like, no, no, nothing happened there. Okay, so everybody should start throwing sandwiches at cops? Is that what you're suggesting? How could you not indict on that? That's insane. That's a small, small example of how bad I think this is going to get if the left keeps this up and they will. And what you're going to see now going forward, if this gets bad and starts to and doesn't hit an asymptote, keeps getting worse. You're going to see people in conservative states and they're just going to be like, hey man, you're going to have to come send someone after. I'm not going up to D.C. i'm not going there. The judicial process is completely rigged. They're going to have to see upper level courts creep in here and clean this mess up, folks. This is a freaking disaster, man. I'm telling you, this has the potential to, to get really bad really quick. And of course you were never, ever going to get honest reporting on this disgusting, filthy, freaking phenomenon of jury nullification from the left and selective targeting from a left wing media put up that CNN tweet. This rates up there as possibly, folks, one of the top 10 worst tweets I've seen of all time. And that's saying a lot. So we had the incident with these two subjects and suspects in this case up in New York throwing a bomb at that Jake Lang protest. By the way, a viable bomb according to the NYPD themselves. It was a TATP explosive. Here's how CNN frames is. Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal day enjoying the city. Gee, during abnormally warm weather. Keep this up. What the. Does that have to do with the bombing? Keep this up. What the does the weather have to do with the bombing? Like they were. It sounds like two Pennsylvania teams. They were getting ready to enjoy a picnic. It was abnormally warm weather. They were sunning their nuts in Central park, trying to get some testosterone from the photons hitting their testicles. It was a wonderful day. They were eating a ham sandwich. Oh, a lot of ham sandwich can do that. Oh, my gosh, look at this. They were having strawberry smoothies. What the kind of opening is this? Then it goes on. It gets even. Gets even worse. How the hell could it get even worse? Because it's cnn. It always gets worse. But in less than an hour, when they stopped sun in their nuts, little improv, their lives would drastically change. Gee, why would their lives change? Why do you think that is? Gee said it right. It's just crazy. When you throw a couple bombs, how do you like this is the beginning of this is frame. Like their lives changed. Like they were sun in their balls and someone came and kicked them in the nuts and put a bomb next to their nuts or something. Their lives drastically. That's crazy how that happens. Their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs. Here we finally get to it. During an anti Muslim protest outside of Mayor Mandami's home. Here's what we know so far. Acting as if Mamdani, the liberal lunatic, that they bombed his house. So people are responding back. I saw some lady comment that her friend read. The tweet was like, man, that's so crazy. Like they attacked mom dummy. Lady's like, what the are you talking about? They attack mom dummy. They attacked the Jake Lang protest. They had nothing to do with. What are you talking about? Oh, my God. That weirdest. We're like, this has got to be the way. That is top 10 craziest freaking tweets you've ever seen. Their lives would drastically change. That happens when you throw bombs and shit. That, that, that, that happens. Then that happens. Here's my PSA of the day. Do we even need to say this? I think we do. Republicans pounce. Who just said that? Lescaut, Brandon and Republican in the chat. Republicans pounce. It's so true. Here's Justin PSA for the day. If you don't want your life, as CNN said, to drastically change. Justin, is this not good advice? It's a good idea to not do a TATP bomb. Load it with shrapnel. And throw it at a van. You did pretty good advice. Justin says it's sound. He's doing the Spock thing. Your logic is sound. I'm not even a Star Trek fan. I like more kind of Star wars and I like these guys. But you know, whatever the logic there is sound. Throwing bombs, bad idea. Folks. Don't do it. Friends. Don't let friends throw TATP bombs at a protest because CNN tells you your life may drastically change. I'm almost crying here. If you watch. My eyes are all right. I cannot, I cannot believe we have to address this kind of shit on the air. Do you understand? If we had an honest media, the world would be a completely different place. And here's the real kick in the gonads here that this president, he obviously can't stand the left wing media. I can't either. But he understands he's the president in a republic and he is still, still easily, easily by a long shot based on the number of press availabilities, pressers and questions he answers by a moonshot, is the most accessible president in American history. There's not even a close second. I take that back. There is a close second. You know who it is? Trick question. Yeah, damn it, you got it. Yes. He's finally. Yes. Trump 45 is the closest. Same guy? Same guy. Here's John Carl in a video. John Carl's an ABC reporter. He's a left leaning guy. Not the most left leaning guy, but he's doing a TikTok video. Don't take my word for it. Despite the fact that the media just constantly shits on us, this president, all the time with stupid posts like that, he still take stir calls. By the way, I can vouch I said this pat on the back. Oh, look at me. I rarely, if ever call the president. Rarely. Okay. I don't pretend. Me and him are coffee buddies and friends. We're friends in the sense that I worked for him. I know I don't bust his chops and waste his time on the phone. He didn't need to hear from me. He's got things going on. I don't waste his time. However, these reporters call and he picks up the phone, talks to anyone even after they shit on him. This is the most accessible president in history. I thought he was a fascist. No more kings here. Listen to Jon Karl talk about it himself. I've covered five different presidents. I have never seen one other than Donald Trump who regularly takes phone calls from reporters. So I thought I would talk a little bit about that. I'VE spoken to him over the phone three times since the military operation, the war against Iran started. In each of those cases, I simply called him and he answered. Some of the conversations are short. Some of them can be quite lengthy. I talked to him today during the middle of the afternoon and the call lasted for about 20 minutes. I mean, guys, ladies, come on. I'm just asking you in the chat, like let's be real here, even if you're a Trump hater, does this sound like the activities of a monarch? A fascist? A king? The king. Kings were accessible like that. People just used to walk into the palace and say, walk into the castle. King Joey, bag of donuts. I got a couple questions. I got me some questions. When the hell did that ever happen? What this is up there. They didn't know way. Is this real? Live time. Hold on. First in a long time. Live time. Dan Bongino show update showing you the show is live. We're not messing with you the watch. For someone who noticed yesterday, different one today. But what avs. CNN update on the craziest post of all time. A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of Mamdani's home failed. I'm sorry. Top line. Failed to reflect the gravity of the incident, thereby breaching the editorial standards we require. We require for all of our reporting. It is therefore been deleted. Too late. Cnn. The damn Bongino show already reported on it. But he. I know that's. Yes, that is that Justin said. There are two words in that tweet doing a shit ton of work. That's editorial and standards. CNN all of a sudden has editorial standards. That just happened. That is a lifetime dam. Bongino show curveball right there. That. How the hell did that pass by like five or six people at CNN who read that and say it sounds all right. You don't want your life substantially upended. Don't throw freaking bombs. Speaking of which, one of the things I told you I was going to hit you with a lot of information beginning. I haven't even. Here. You want to see how the show looks? Look at this, folks in the chat. Check this out. I have to. Doing stuff on the screen is no good. Okay, I'm not going to get into that now. But you got to write stuff. When your body writes stuff, your brain activates differently. Look it up yourself. There's a ton of research. I write stuff. I can type it. I got a. Here's my phone. And I mean tablet. Whatever. You gotta write something. I write the show down there it is. Write it down, okay? In my handwriting. I don't have anyone else, Justin. Do I do my own show? Yes, I do my own show because I like doing my own show. Because I don't want to talk to you about stories someone else gave me. I like my own stories. I'm in a mood today, by the way. The only reason I'm saying that is I write in the margins for stuff I had later. I haven't even gotten the beginning of the show yet. That's how much stuff I need to hit you with. I saw this this morning too. It happened yesterday. I missed it. I had something going on yesterday afternoon. Nothing bad, however, took my attention away. So I saw it this morning. Remember when I told you when Trump was running 47, not 45, everybody said this is crazy. He's going to be a lame duck the minute he got in office. Folks, I'm sorry, but I'm taking a victory lap on this one. Self praise stinks, as Aunt Jane used to say. In this case, I'm asking a dispensation. I, I told you guys this was going to be even more consequential than his first term because Trump on the giving an F scale, say like he didn't, he gave 10 Fs, right? He gave 10 Fs. And he doesn't want to do anything. He just wanted to leave with some legacy and kiss the left wing's media, media's ass. That would be like giving 10 Fs. He gives zero Fs about what anybody thinks anymore. He is doing what he thinks is right and he's just totally, he's unencumbered by bullshit. Here's President Trump confirming the Dan Bongino, screw the lame duck hypothesis theory, the anti lame duck hypothesis theory. Here's Trump saying it himself yesterday. This is glorious. Check this out. No, I don't want to brag, but you know, they've said this about a lot of things no other president could do. Some of this shit I'm doing, no other president. The things I'm doing, nobody else was going to do. I say they say it all the time. Sir, could you do this? You're the only one can do it. Even they know it. Even they know it. Republicans in Congress, senators, cabinet secretaries. Hey, Mr. President, listen, these problems have been hanging around forever. Maduro, a lot of AI crypto, regulation issues, economic stuff. No one has had the moose balls to do it. Can you just do it? He's like, yeah, sure, I told you I gave 0 Fs 0 on the F skill. Maybe they'll start learning this. I told you that this was going to happen and that's why you had this. I am dead serious. Like golden year of executive leadership. Everything from things I was involved in, the crime rate just collapsing. The homicide rate collapsing, the border shut. Inflation finally under control. Not totally under control, but getting under control. Economic growth. Yeah, we had some government shutdown activity. We've also had government jobs shrinking, which are hurting the jobs numbers. But that's a good thing, not a bad thing. Shrinking government jobs. Who in hades would have done that? Come on, guys, listen. Again, the Die Hards, you're with me. To the new people listening to the show. What you got? 57.4000, 25 minutes in. Thank you. To the same, maybe 5,000 who were new here. No one was ever shrinking government jobs. Even Republicans, they were like, yeah, we're going to shrink government. They get in office, we going to shrink government. Now I just said that. On the campaign trail, the government's down 10% the workforce. So liberals are like, well, jobs numbers are a little down. Yeah, because they're pushing people back into the private workforce from the government. It's going to take a while. And even the jobs numbers are pretty good in the private sector. Nobody was going to do this but him. Hence the title of today's show. About this shock poll. I say shock poll because the Democrats don't. This was on Mediaite of all places. Media is about as left wing as it gets. They love, like taking shots at conservatives. It's just their thing. I actually, I know I shouldn't be giving them click clicks, but it's kind of funny to read the side. It really is like I get a. Puts a smile on my face. Wild new poll again. Wild. This is not going to be wild to you. Finds that Trump is more popular than Newsom and Kamala and ICE is more popular than the Democrats. Folks, you wanted to Isaac Shore Media yesterday, you want to talk about a shakeup? This was the subject of like a whole shit ton of left wing commentary yesterday. Who can't figure it out? Believe me, they were shocked by this. Trump be more popular than hair gel. Newsom. Like, come on, Newsom, Newsom. They love Newsom. He's presidential timber. Based on what? And that ICE put that headline up again. The second part of that, they don't know what to think. The Democrats are like, this shakes up our whole national messaging strategy. Now, I thought Trump was universally unpopular. Takes out the ayatollah, locks up Maduro the border shut down. The economy's growing again. Government shrinking. Crime rates at historic lows. Murder rate, historic lows. Drug interdictions, fentanyl deaths down. What the hell? I cannot believe Trump is more popular than Newsom. As my mother in law, Miriam would say. I cannot believe. There it is. ICE is more popular than them. I thought everybody hated ice. The Democrats are shutting down the government right now. A large swath of the government's security apparatus called the Department of Homeland Security. Liberals may have heard of this for the first time today. It's called the Department of Homeland Security. What do you guys think the Department of Homeland Security is involved in? Justin's like, I don't know, maybe Homeland Security. Ding, ding, ding. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Maybe fried chicken, maybe spicy herb chicken, I don't know. Department of Homeland Security. The Democrats have it shut down right now. Fact, fact, all caps, exclamation point. They have it shut down right now because they swear everyone on planet Earth hates ICE and CBP for assisting in getting illegals out of the country and shutting the border. That doesn't seem to be the case. You see the headline yourself. ICE more popular than Dems. The Dems are like, I don't know what to do. The clawing, the face clawing. They're clawing the plucking hairs out. They're putting fingers in the ears. The guys are like, are you okay? Yes. I'm just in a mood. I. I gotta tell you, it's not even the greatest news day, but I put together this show. What I say to you guys before, this one's gonna be a banger. Why? Because I'm just in a mood today. This is why we gotta turn up the votes. This is why I popped in the chat this morning. Guys, I'm serious, OK? No messing around. If you're not gonna do the 10, 10 and 10 thing, you're not serious about winning. I'm sorry. 10, 10, 10 is the minimum. You should do 100, 100, 100. But, you know, I want to be realistic. People got jobs and lives. 10 phone calls, 10 emails, 10 social media posts about where people can vote, how they can vote, who you support, why you support them, mix it up, match them, put the link to. I live in Martin County, Florida, Martin County Board of Elections, where they can register where their poll location is. It's really important you do this. If we get the now 60,000 people here, here in the chat, half an hour in to do that. Do you have any idea the force magnification that is we're not going to win by talking about winning. We're only going to win about doing. I do the 10, 10 and 10. You know how I do it? I mention it 100 times on the show. Folks, please, please, please. We have a shot here. I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The Democrats gerrymandering has the potential to blow up in their face. What? They gerrymandered their district. You know what gerrymandering is? When you carve up congressional districts in a way that makes them easier to win. Pretty simple stuff. Every party does it. It's not just a Democrat thing. Okay, let's just be clear on that. However the Democrats carved up, let's just use California in such a way. Follow me. This is super important. Everybody paying attention? Stop what you're doing. What's that line from aliens? Stop your grinning and drop your linen. Whatever you're doing, stop. Just listen. This is super important, okay? You had districts in California congressional districts where there were a lot of throwaway, what's called wasted votes. What's a wasted vote? Anything over 50%. What do you mean, Dan? Because you don't need more than 51 or 50.1% of the vote to win. That's it. That's what you need in a binary. If you get 53% of the vote, you didn't need two of those 3%. You can go and send them into another district to help them win where they may have lost by 1 5,149. Do you get what I'm talking about? You see this in New York and California. California, they carved up the state. So in order to make some Republican districts in California more Democrat, they had to take Democrats away from safe districts and plug them into the Republican ones, which made the Democrats safe districts less safe. What's the point? The point is a lot of these safe Democrat districts in the past, if we show up, are now up for grabs too. This could be the biggest double barrel middle finger in American history. Numbers are numbers. You can't make a district more Democrat without making another district less Democrat. I'd say Democratic because there's nothing Democratic about the Democratic Party. That's why I do it. So don't correct the English. It's done on purpose. They're trying to reduce their throwaway votes. We show up, we have a shot to stick it to them and stick it to them hard. You're going to get politics good and hard. I want to show you too how the media right now again is trying to contour the narratives around the battlefield, pun definitely intended. They're trying to contour this now. We're now, what is it? 11 days in to the military action in Iran. You got World War three predictions. It didn't work out. The media now oil prices yesterday. You see the panic? Did you see it, guys? Oil, gas, going to be $100 a gallon. Everybody's reading it like, oh, my gosh. Holy Moses. Hundred dollars a gallon. This is insane. They wrote oil prices spike. Except they didn't. They back down overnight. What happened? Hysteria. Headlines happen. That's exactly what happened. That's exactly what happened. That's why the Democrats don't know anything. They actually believe that. Then they show up at the gas station like, well, not great. But it's nothing like the media said. It never is like the media said. I'm going to take a quick break and I'm going to show you what I mean. How information warfare, make no mistake, is happening right now. Full blown information warfare by the left, foreign operators. You're seeing it. It's all over the place. All right, quick break. Today's show brought to you by our friends at Brick House. Nutrition, folks, I was getting a little gooey, I gotta tell you. Go back and look at the old rumble videos. I like lifting pretty heavy and eating a lot of food. I didn't really care about, like, cardio and stuff. And then I hit 238 on the scale and I looked at myself in the mirror one day in my old house. A true story. And I was like, okay, there's a little goo there. Josh, do we like goo? No, Josh, like, I don't like goo either. Josh is very thin, so he's not too gooey. However, I need to lose about 30 pounds. True story. So I did. Losing weight, it can be a pain. You know, you got these injections out there and all this stuff. Well, I lost about 30 pounds, maybe a little more by taking Lean. Here it is, right here. We love us some Lean. L E A N Makes me feel great. It took a lot of weight off. Seriously. I had some really bad joints. That's why I did it, too. My knees were given out. So doctors created Lean as a supplement, not an expensive prescription. It works. It's amazing. It works a lot like these GOP ones. These weight loss injections work by controlling blood sugar and curbing appetite so you eat less. There's no mystery. That's what Lean was created to do. Replicate the benefits of those injections without the needles. Lean. Lean supports healthy blood sugar and helps Reduce spikes and crashes that drive snacking and cravings.

Trump is more popular than Newsom, Ice than the Democrats. No one on our side is surprised. Why are the Democrats always surprised? We brought this up last week because they live in an information bubble full of bullshitters in the media that tell them things they want to hear. Tell them a story rather than the story. Yes, up ones know what I'm talking about. Someone in the chat is what was a P1 this morning. It's a radio term for diehard listeners. Here's Politico Playbook. This is what I was talking about. A screenshot, folks. They just can't stop themselves. Trump faces a crude reality. You get to play on words with oil. Very creative. Ali Bianco. The attacks in Iran have penetrated. I'm sorry, this is shit. I can't get over this stuff. I can't even read this stuff. Have penetrated two of Trump's major agendas. It's dominating his vast foreign policy portfolio. Do you know that Folk dominate. Poor guy can't do anything else. Dominate. And it risks drowning out other conflicts. And it's spiking prices on the home front just as the GOP is meeting on how to tackle the midterms. Spiking prices. Except by this morning, oil prices per barrel had pretty much stabilized. Now, if Ali Bianco and political playbook would have applied, what rule? Yes, the Bongino rule. Where what do we do, folks? We wait 24 to 72 hours to let a story settle. Not before commenting. You can comment on whatever you like. But before drawing some kind of final conclusion. We try not to speculate on the outcomes of ongoing things until the outcomes have actually Outcome. Making up my own words, I don't like to comment on how great or terrible a movie was until I've seen the end. Ok, Talk about the movie. Lean over in your chair. I told you I saw that movie in D.C. with Paula. That movie Weapons. I looked over in my quickie language. I looked over my chair because this is just accurate. At Paula, she was with me in D.C. came down to visit me, went to Georgetown, AMC. Great movie theater by the way. They treated me in the security detail. Really nice over there. So thank you. I looked over, I go, what the fuck is this movie about? It was the craziest movie I ever seen. However, I didn't judge the whole movie. You gotta wait till the movie ends. There could have been. Justin's correct. They could have licensed the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi and they could have popped in. That movie was so crazy. I actually wouldn't have been surprised if Ewok showed up in the basement. I hated the Ewoks, by the way. I'm really sorry if there are Ewok fans in the show, I may be cursing myself. I hope you don't leave permanently. I love having you here. The Ewoks were just a horror show. It was a total branding exercise to sell toys. Totally ruined star. Worse than Jar Jar. I actually prefer Jar Jar Binks that over over Ewoks geese like Elizabeth. Gee, can't take it. He still thinks the Ewoks were like a great kind of edgy little addition to Return. You're wrong. You're telling me the Imperial Stormtroopers can't defeat a bunch of freaking Lucy like teddy bears throwing rocks? That's bullshit. But playbooks telling you about how oil prices have spiked and the day hadn't even ended yet. Now that oil prices have come down, all of a sudden, nobody knows what to do. Well, what do we do? By yesterday's headline, I just move on, pretend it didn't happen. You see how they contour the battlefield? You know what? Put up that tweet? That Mark Penn tweet? Mark Penn, I'm pretty sure is like a Democrat pollster. I seen him on Fox. He's not a Republican. Here's Mark Penn. He's like, look at this Iran coverage. He's mocking the media. Here are some of the headlines. Iran regime doing well and in control. They're dead, bro. He's mocking them. By the way, Penn, he's not. He's not like celebrating these stupid heads. They're doing well. Yeah, they're all taking dirt naps. I guess if they wanted to rest permanently, they're doing great. Trump under pressure to end war. From who? Trump will end this war. He's even call it a war, by the way, when he feels like it. Khomeini's son just as tough as father. The father's kind of dead. Wasn't that. Wasn't that tough? Us responsible for missile on school? We don't know that yet. We'll see where that goes. Unfortunately, tragic things happen in war sometimes. Unlike other countries, though, we don't target innocence and we'd actually do an investigation and apologize for it and Move on. Other countries are just going to celebrate it. Look, we killed a bunch of school kids. Animals in some of these terror laden regimes. One headline, he notes after another, essentially featuring Iranian propaganda. As the news. Scroll down a bit, here is the other headlines. Some of the headlines he's saying you should pay attention to that are actually real. 50 Iranian ships sunk. Iranian military assets destroyed. Leadership tries to put on a good showing despite internal chaos. Khomeini appointment creates hereditary theocracy. War plan progress unprecedented. The press, he notes, is just a drumbeat of negativity. Now I've never seen this before but Centcom, you guys got that video? CENTCOM Central Command, U.S. central Command Theater operator in this, in this, the activities in Iran right now. Central Command put out a video. I've never seen this before. It may have been, I just haven't seen it. Put out a video. Yesterday on their X account warning that foreign adversaries and pro Iranian accounts are using X and other platforms to propagandize. Hey, I'm all about the free speech. Don't get me wrong, I'm just telling you like it's my free speech too. To expose free speech on other platform I'm allowed to have an opinion too. Here's centcom saying, hey man, be really careful. Like a lot of the stuff you're seeing out there are not people's opinions. It's foreign bullshit. Agitprop. Check this out. Iran is doing everything it can to peddle in lies, deception and inflation of numbers and reality. Mostly to propagandize to their own people. Right? They don't. They've shut down the Internet. They're hoping they can convince their own population that they're having success. One thing one of their leaders said recently that you know, 500Americans have been killed. They claim these are lies. The lies will continue. CENTCOM will continue to debunk those lies. So and as often is the case in conflict, first reports are, are often wrong. Here right now, just on the screen right now, breaking news. Oil prices drop below $100 a barrel. Can we? And by the way, I'm not taking a victory lap either. I'm not going to be a hypocrite about my own bongino rule. Could they go back up? Of course they could go back up. Could they drop further? They could. I'm just going to chill for a minute. I'm just going to chill. Nobody tunes in to this show to hear liberal media bullshit spin. And no, it's not endless propaganda exercises either. Of course there could be something that could spike it again. Maybe we should just wait and see what happens. A crazy idea, I know. Before forming some final opinion. War is over. War's over. War. Oil's over $100 a barrel. Actually, it's not. It just dropped below 100. Oh, shit. Oils. War's over. Oil's at 99. You just said it was over when it went over 100. I changed my mind. That was quick, folks. Here's what I mean, too, about the agit prop. Here's another headline about the Iranians. I told you they will do anything. This was on Drudge today. That absolutely hates Donald Trump. The video of Epstein and Trump. It might be pro Iranian disinformation. Do you know what this must have taken for the Washington Post to print this? I told you from the beginning of the show again, the restart, the relaunch six weeks ago that they were going to. They were undoubtedly going to use the Epstein case file as the next, you know, a crossfire hurricane collusion, the impeachment hoax, that they were going to use it to try and attach this thing to Donald Trump despite him signing a bill to get this out there. And here it is. That's even Drudge acknowledging it. I think they thought they were taking a shot at Trump. That's actually an article that proves the point. Of course, it's a critically important case. It involves so many different variables, but the attachment to Donald Trump is bullshit. It's all nonsense and they knew it. You think Team Biden wouldn't have followed up on this if they thought they had a viable case against Donald Trump? Come on, man. Are you freaking serious? To all the people, that's all they want to think about. Are you, Are you. Are you telling me with a straight face that Team Garland, Team Monaco, Team Rice, Team Obama, Team Biden, Team Comey, Team Ray would not have put Donald Trump in handcuffs if any of the stuff about Trump in there were true. Now the Iranians seize on it, pounce whatever word the Democrats like, and people fall for it. Not telling you. Don't read it. I'm telling you know what you're reading. There's a difference, by the way. Back to the oil market. Quickly, folks. On the price of gas and energy prices. The Iranians control this sliver of a spot where roughly a fifth of the oil in the global market passes through. You've heard it a thousand times. Straight of Hormuz, ok? The Iranians, being on one side of it, had the ability in the past to cause disruptions there. Insurance companies didn't Want to insure oil tankers, traffic would slow down, prices would spike. This is one of the main reasons no one had the nut sack to do what Donald Trump did in the past and take out the Iranian debt to America. Muellers Donald Trump said, you know what, I'm going to risk a little bit of short term volatility in energy prices, which we're seeing, to control that straight or exert more control over that straight long term so they can't put an energy gun to the world's head from this point forward. And he did it. He did it. We have now de facto control over the strait. Think of it as a barn door. Behind the barn door is the world's energy supply or say a fifth of it. To give realistic numbers, the Iranians had the lock to that barn door. We have now hijacked the key. We have the key, we have the lock, we control the barn door. Now there is the possibility though for ballistic missile targeting and that's why there's still some issues. That's why they're taking out the ballistic missiles too. Hello, McFly. Charles Payne's good man. I like Charles from Fox. Here he is explaining how oil prices. Here's what happens in the oil market. There's a lot of speculation, hedging and panic buying that happens in the oil and energy market. People hear a bad headline, it's called headline risk. They go out, they buy, they buy. When you buy something, there's a lot of demand prematurely and what happens? Prices spike. Simple market clearing price, you get the X and O. If you've seen supply, demand, economics, pretty simple stuff. But there's also hedging and futures contracts. People who factored in a price of energy in the market for their planes and jet fuel and everything else start buying futures contracts and everything. Once the panic and the headlines settle down, those contracts have to be settled and when they're settled, there's a counterparty and prices come down, sometimes dramatically. That's why you saw the drop yesterday. So to all the bed shitters out there, oh my gosh, the war is over. Prices are spiking. This is thorough insanity. Listen to Charles Plain say everybody hold, hold. We haven't done that in a while. Check this out. We don't have an oil problem. And I think Secretary Wright was trying to explain that. This is all speculation. This is all you can almost argue, manipulation. This is what they call geopolitical risk. There's no formula for it. It could be an extra 10 bucks, it could be an extra 20 bucks. It could be an extra 30 bucks. So when you have a move like that that's not based on fundamentals per se, it could be parabolic, which it is through the roof. But when parabolic moves like that die down, they usually come down just as fast. Just did my 10 air squats in the show, did I not? Yes, I did. The prices can come down just as fast because the contracts have to be settled. Think about putting call options on a stock. You buy a stock option, a futures contract, and you go long on it, you think the price is going to go up. Okay, you want the right to buy that stock at a certain price, a lower price, because you think it's going to go up eventually. The contract has to be settled. My gosh, these chat just. Yeah, folks, the price came down so quickly, everybody, that the panic classes just drives me freaking nuts. We opened up the show today with someone in the chat. I forget who it was. Someone said to me in the chat, you know, World War Three? This host is talking about World War two. Everything the panic in class is talking about, nearly every single thing has not happened. I'm dead serious when I say this. At what point do you disregard their opinion and say everything they said was going to happen did not happen? At what point does that happen? How many people, how many times are they going to bullshit you before you're like, I've had enough? By the way, just put up that Wall Street Journal article quick. With the screenshot by Kessler. Here's the long term and midterm possibilities. Not midterm elections, but middle term timeline, horizon about what could happen with energy prices, but because Donald Trump had the mooseballs to do what he did. Kessler notes in the Wall Street Journal, here's a real win scenario. He says there are two components. Component one, the US gets western friendly regimes in Venezuela and Iran to pump oil like crazy. Adding to the global supply, not subject to sanctions to the US achieves post war control of the Strait of Hormuz through which a fifth of the global oil flows could prices and head towards $40 a barrel. He notes that's likely it would cripple the Russian war machine. Check the game. You have to see yesterday's show for that. By the way, I love Andy Kessler's columns a lot. He's no big, huge Trump guy. Do you hear what he's saying? You get long term control in the lock in the barn door to a fifth of the world's global supply. The price could crash to $40 a barrel. Then you got a Different set of issues out in the Permian basin and elsewhere. And then it cripples the Russian war machine. Why? How is Russia financing their war machine? A war machine needs power. Power needs money. Russia gets money from selling oil and selling power. All I'm asking you is. You see why I the man. I just. Like I told you, I'm in a freaking mood today. You see why I get so pissed off at the doomer panic in class? Because the left put up that on the Wall Street Journal article. Totally out of order. The left. There are people on the left starting to realize right now that their party's gone crazy. Not a lot don't get, don't put a big smile on your face. James Freeman wrote about this in the Journal yesterday. Most Democrats want normal. They put a survey out where a lot of these AOC Bernie Sanders types again, we're not going to be popping any champagne. A lot of Democrats are starting to realize like even with this Talarico candidate in Texas for Senate that they're in deep shit with this, you know, men's penises in the women's room. Like this is like they're not the kind of stuff which resonates. There are a lot of Democrats starting to get away from this stuff. How does that have to do, what does that have to do with doomers, the doomer class. Like this is the Democrats last chance is to fracture us from the inside with agit prop and bullshit and to start this so called MAGA civil war. Folks, if this operation in Iran wraps up in the next couple weeks and we've decapitated the regime, decapitated their ballistic missile sites, destroyed their nuclear program and have de facto control of the Straits of Hormuz. We are in amazing shape and we are 1000 times better and that might be an understatement than where we were even after midnight Hammer when we took out some of those nuclear facilities, we will be in incredible shape. Incredible shape. Now folks, this poll I showed you in the beginning of the show, Trump more popular than Newsom Ice more popular than Democrats is not a shock to any of you, but I promise you it was a shock to Democrats. The liberal ones I just showed you in that Freeman article who were trying to drag the party to put men in the women's room. They really believe like they had the place, you know, completely mind like the men in black. Like, you know, they wiped their brains of the old Democrat party and instilled the new one like a new software program. Folks, nothing they tell you is true. These Democrats, the ones in charge now are complete lunatics. They have one goal and one goal only and that is power and the abuse of power. That's it. I'm not kidding. They would tomorrow morning they would support voter ID if they thought voter ID would lead to more Democratic votes. I am not kidding. Why do they hate voter ID and the SAVE Act? They hate it because they need illegals voting, voter fraud. They need them to win for the electoral College midterm elections. They don't feel like they can win without mass ballot harvesting and fraud. If they did feel like they can win, they wouldn't fight this stuff. Hat tip. What is this? Hunter Biden laptop, something on TikTok. Here's a gem from Chuck Schumer yesterday. No, like a very long time ago when he had more hair. He was probably a congressman when this one went down. Here's Chuck Schumer, ironically advocating for id, Social Security cards and against fraud before he realized he was for fraud and against id. Check this out. Gentlemen salute him for his work on this rise in support of the amendment. First of all, Social Security card is used from one end of America to the other as an identification card right now, who are we kidding? If you want to pass a law and says it shouldn't be, I would ask the chairman and the distinguished minority member of the Social Security meeting the committee to pass that law. But let's, let's admit the truth. Everywhere people go, they're asked for a Social Security card. In fact, one way to prove you're a bonafide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver's license and a Social Security card. This is an anti fraud amendment. All over where we go, people say, well, why can't you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here? And the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud. 1996, I was a police cadet. That's how long ago that was. I've been through about 47 different jobs. 47 since then. Folks, these people are full of shit. I'm telling you. They are creating a very serious national security situation right now. This is a far different world than 1996. You have everything from agricultural bioweapons. You've seen some of the arrests we made when I was there in the Bureau about these Chinese researchers, CCP connected researchers trying to smuggle all these agricultural, you know, parasites and pathogens into the country. We had what, three or four cases like that. I think one was out of Michigan. There were a ton of them. We get briefed on them like once a week. You've got cyber weapons right now, cyber weapons right now that could probably do significant damage to the grid where you come in and hit power on your computer and you get nothing but the blue screen of doom. This is a no bullshit world we live in right now. You say this. You see this ABC article yesterday? Now, I would not jump the gun on any of this again. The media wants you to get all like, excited and oh my gosh, I. About sleeper cells in the United States. I've already told you that the sleeper cell, Iranian terrorist sleeper cell issues. Could there be. Of course there could be sleeper cells. You don't know what you don't know. The US Is intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as an operational trigger for sleeper assets outside the country, according to a federal government alert sent to law enforcement agencies. Folks, of course this is a potential situation. However, as I've indicated to you many times, having seen this from the other side, the presence of a network of people known as a cell rather than a lone actor creates the need for communications money to change hands, typically weapons training, chat room conversations. And we do a pretty darn good job of intercepting this stuff in advance. Not that I'm not worried about it. It's not what I'm saying. What I'm telling you is ABC wants you to panic right now. Here's Donald Trump himself yesterday discussing gets a question about sleeper cells. I want you to pay answers about 50 seconds, not that long, but I want you to pay very close attention to the last few seconds of this because he gets brief, folks. He gets briefed on this every day. We would get the same brief he does. He gets this every day. He knows exactly what's happening. Check this out. Iran activated any sleeper cells inside the U.S. there's reports that they have pressed that trigger button to activate those cells, at least abroad. Well, we've been. They've been trying for a long time. We've been very much on top of it. One of the things we have to do is get the Democrats to stop the Democrat shutdown because as you know, the apparatus that looks into that, Schumer and the Democrats have shut it down, which tells you they probably hate our country a lot. But the Democrats have to open that up. But we've got very, very good intelligence into that. We know a lot of different things that have happened that have been very bad. A lot of them came in during The Biden open border period. But we have them under. We've got them. We've. We're watching every single one of them. Yeah, we know a lot about them. Voodoo zombie in the chat. Oh, Dan, I've missed. Super caffeinated Dan. Yes, there. There it is, right in there. A little cold brew blackout. He is telling you, President Trump, exactly what's happening. I'm not telling you it's not a threat. Do not misconstrue my words. Especially liberal media scum who watch the show and like to, you know, obsess. They. They can't get away. I'm just telling you that once you create a circuit or a cell of people, there are interception points that don't exist with just lone actors. Now, the Democrats don't seem to give a shit at all, as President Trump just indicated, because they don't even want the Department of Homeland Security during a really perilous time in American history. No one's downplaying what's going on in Iran right now. There is clearly an elevated threat situation. No Republican or Democrats going to tell you otherwise. The degree of the elevation is open for debate. I think ABC is looking for you to panic. Don't panic. Panic doesn't do anything. However, if the Democrats were really serious about wrapping this up quickly and stopping World War three and stopping a terror attack on US Soil, you think they would help and fund the freaking Department of Homeland Security? That's the actual name, bro. They can't even do that. Watch this Fox video from yesterday. Tsa. You think TSA is important? Maybe. You know, it's not like terrorists. You guys ever heard of an incident where terrorists target the aviation industry? Josh is like, no, no, I never heard of that. Never happened. It happens all the time. You think you may want to fund tsa? Just a thought. Check this out of the New Orleans airport here. Security lines wrapped around for hours. It was so crowded there that you could barely see the floor. An airport spokesperson said TSA is short staffed at security checkpoints because of the federal government partial shutdown leading to those longer than usual lines. And it was the same story at Houston's Hobby Airport here on Sunday afternoon. Lines reaching the parking lot. And it comes as millions of spring breakers are expected to travel over the next two months. Why would you continue to vote for this? I'm sorry, guys. Listen, I understand hardball Partizan politics as good as well as anyone. I've run, I've been an activist, spend on the inside, been on the outside, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Who cares. Who gives a shit? I'm just telling you, this is beyond the pale. The Democrats. You lose nothing right now politically by coming out and saying, hey, whatever, just make it up. We got Kristi Noem and we got body cameras. We won. And this is a really perilous time. And we think it's a good idea to open up the government right now. I mean, we're the big government people, and we don't think it's a good idea to shut government while we're taking out the Ayatollah class. You lose nothing. They are so deranged, they can't even do that. And you want to vote for these crazy people here? You want to vote for this? He picked out this gem. Here's another one of these Democrat liberal rallies was this International Women's Day rally. Check this out. This is what you want to vote for. Now you see why even some Democrats, quote, want normal. Check this out. What. What makes you mad? And now I invite you to scream. What is with the screaming, bro? What is. What the. I was gonna voice over this, but I. I can't. So when I was up in D.C. i lived in city center and I lived in this building. So the security detail. I lived on one of the upper floors. The security detail people would go and looney tunes in the chat. This is what the left is. If you're ever at a Republican rally where they do this, leave immediately. So the security detail. Sometimes my knee would hurt, so I'd walk a little slow. And I lived all the way at the end of the hallway. The elevator was super loud. When you would hold the elevator for too long, the security detail would hold it and it would be like, you know. And I would say to him, hey, guys, what's the most annoying sound in the world? And they'd be like, that one. I'm like, yes, that one. I take that back. That, lady, is the most annoying sound in the world. That's your options, Folks. I got a couple other things I want to get after. Including the Alinsky rule you're going to see in the media right now. A Guardian hit piece on Secretary of Warhag said, that is just freaking disgusting. They love the media. The Alinsky rule. I saw this with us over at the Bureau. I see obviously with Trump, they. When they cannot argue the results. When they can't argue the results. Hegseth has Maduro under his belt now. Midnight Hammer and this operation, which at least thus far, movies not over yet has been going quite well. What do they do? Single out the target. Personalize it and make it about Pete. Don't make it about the results. They did this with us, too. I don't like Dan's haircut. Really? I cut my own hair. What does that have to do with the results? Quick break. I'll show you what I mean. I just want to give you a quick update too. On what Secretary Hegseth and the president, what they're actually doing. Hey, when spring rolls around, I always get that urge to reset everything. Just get life running a little smoother. And the one upgrade that's made a huge difference in my life is the mattress, folks. You gotta have a good mattress.

They go over there like, when'd you get that mattress? Helix H E L X. Here's the only downside. You don't want to sleep at a hotel anymore because you love your Helix mattress.

We have done nothing according to plan today during the show. Because yes, as that chatster said out there, I am in one of these super caffeinated moves today. Guardian, a very dangerous person. Alarm Is Pete Hegseth, by the way. You can call him Secretary Hegseth. He has a title, you know. Revels in the carnage of Iran. More revels. Leave that up. Rebels. I don't know. You guys see him reveling. He's sitting there, feet up, drink wine, pouring all over, you know, like those old medieval parties. Turkey legged as well. I am reveling in the carnage of the. I don't. I don't see reveling. I don't know what you talk about reveling. They note that Pete is, quote, brash and bellicose and he sounded more like a cartoon bully rather than a somber statesman. And they put some of his quotes out there. This is, by the way, him reveling. We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be. Josh, that sound like reveling? Josh? Sound like reveling to me. Josh, wouldn't you think that's how war works, right? Like when you defeat the enemy, like you don't let them get back up. Correct. That's the whole idea of war, right? You go, hey, guys, I'm going to give you time to recover and then we're going to hit you again. That's not. I was not in combat. I don't pretend to be. I'm just not stupid. Okay? You're in combat. Your goal is to do what? Kill the bad guy. You don't like shoot the bad guy. You nick him in the tongue. Go. Hey, you okay? Hold on. We're going to give you a few minutes. Why don't you reload and then we'll do it again. That's not the way this works, bro. That's him quote, reveling. That sounds to me like a rather benign statement of fact on how combat actually works. This is the left wing media and their Alinsky tactics. Put it up. They love this one. You see them doing it with everyone in the administration. Rules for radicals. Saul Alinsky, left wing organizer. Pick the target. In this case, Pete Egseth, Secretary of War. Freeze it. Personalize it and polarize it. Cut off the support network. Isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions. People hurt faster than institutions. It's a cruel but very effective tactic. Folks. I was on the other side of this. I've Been talking about the Alinsky rules forever. When they cannot argue the results. The PC cases, you know, lowest crime rate in American history, the homicide rate collapsing. 67,000 arrests. That's countere espionage and CT interdictions, counterterrorism. When they can't do it, they go after you. They're doing the same thing now with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. They don't have anything else. When you could I say in the legal space. When you can't pound the facts, pound the table. This is them pounding the table. Peach, brash and bellicose. What the hell does that even mean? Is he getting results or not? Here's a Trey Yanks clip from Fox from yesterday with the entire leadership Mueller regime of Death to America Radical freaking lunatics. The whole class of these idiots have been completely wiped out. You want to argue those results? You want to argue about Pete Brash umbrella cartoon character. These people are totally full of shit. This is Alinsky tactics. Once you learn to recognize them, you can then move past it. But then you get bogged down. This is where they pull in kind of the doomer class. They get into personalities. By the way, you know how many of these bullshitters thought I was never coming back and just did all this bullshit because they felt like oh gosh, you know, he's gone, maybe we could steal his own. That's stealing shit. He's always coming back at some point. How to flip the calendar and get some stuff done. Here's Trey Yingst on Fox about exactly how successful this has been so far. They built their military around this, planning for this mosaic defense. But the reality is as these strikes continue, we can expect more of Iran's leadership to be taken out. And it makes a very challenging for Iran to fight for long periods of time. They say that they are prepared for a months long war. The reality will be quite different. Despite the fact that there is still incoming fire from Iran itself. The ballistic missiles that soar through the skies of this country. Earlier today one person was killed in central Israel and the fire that we just saw now from Hezbollah. It is a military that will continue to be depleted in the days ahead. Folks, do you have any idea when you get past the Guardian, personalize it Alinsky bullshit and the personal attacks on Secretary Hegse, how much he's done at the Pentagon. When you want to get into just results and get past the bullshit supply chain, you know what a mess the military supply chain was. I had some experience with you know, meetings with them on drones which I bring up A lot. The supply chain. There are so many people in the Pentagon who've got their kind of like fingers in the pot on things. It's almost impossible to find a decision maker. He's been speaking, been spending the last year while Maduro was happening, while Midnight Hammer was happening, while all these global activities were happening. He's also been cleaning up the supply chain with his deputy over there. It is really, really difficult. The bureaucracy of the Pentagon is unbelievable. He's cleaned up a lot of that while he's also dealing with the explosive growth of AI and some of these woke AI companies that. Hey, hold on, time out again. I need you to listen. This is really important. Some of these woke AI and computing companies don't want to do business with the US government or Department of War because they live in some fairytale world where they think, oh, we don't want our technology used to kill people. These mother are trying to kill us too, you dipshit. You ever see the all in Pod, all in podcast? Really good show. They had an acquisitions official from the Pentagon on the show yesterday talking about this brewing war between this AI company and the Pentagon where this AI company wants to sell their products to the US government. But you know, we're not so sure we want our products used to like kill people. You know what? Sometimes bad people have to die. Do you not know that? So you want it just to be clear, let's withhold our products from the US government, defending liberty and freedom basically around the world. While you do what? Sell it to like Death to America crowd assholes and others. Are you for real? Listen, I am a economic libertarian at heart, but we live in a dangerous freaking world. And if you've got advanced level products that can help kill Americans, then you better be helping Americans fight back and defend themselves if your product's hijacked too. This is a fascinating minute where this Pentagon official is like, hey man, we're done with this bullshit. You're going to sell this stuff to the US government, then you know you're not going to tell us how to use it too. Check this out. Why then designate them as supply chain risk? Why not just abandon them, move on, use the other vendors. Like why take this kind of punitive action? Yeah, so I don't view it as punitive and I'll tell you why. If their model has this policy bias, let's call it based on their constitution, their culture, their people and so on. I don't want Lockheed Martin using their model to design weapons for me. I don't want the people who are designing the things that go into the componentry to come to me. Because if that poison, if you believe the risk of poisoning compounding that risk, yes, it can enter into any part of the defense enterprise, but it's just the defense enterprise. So Boeing wants to use Anthropic to build commercial jets. Have at it. Boeing wants to use it to build fighter jets. I can't have that because I don't trust what the outputs may be because they're so wedded to their own policy preferences. You worry. I worried about them shutting off our system at a moment of need or them messing with our system at motivation. If you don't want your stuff to be used for Department War stuff, you shouldn't be selling to the Department of War. Pretty stressful. It's in the name. It's in the name, folks. This is serious. Okay, That's Emil Michael. He's an undersecretary of the Pentagon. And the acquisition side, this is really important. I should have put this at the beginning of the show. Shame on me. I was just in a mood today and I just had so much stuff to get to. That's probably one of the most important things I could have discussed today. I've been warning you that technology is advancing. Surveillance technology, weapons technology, targeting technology, AI technology, quantum technology. At a pace. At a pace that's hard for the guardrails to catch up. Trying to like say stuff without saying, you get what I'm going with this. It's hard for the guardrails to catch up if these companies are going to sell in the US market. And it is a dual use technology. Dual use. I know a lot of you know what that means or maybe some liberals in the chat though. It can be used for free market business, capitalist enterprise and military technology too. A lot of like jet GPS started that way. I mean obviously the Internet and DARPA and all this dual use technology, these dual use technologies, AI, advanced computing, this is a whole different level, folks. If China, Iran, North Korea and others and enemies of the United States, even in our own hemisphere get access to this technology before us, we're finished. These companies live in some like bullshit world utopia where we don't want our products used to kill people. Really folks, I've got news for you. Like remember the old Ginsu knives from back in the day? You remember? I may be aging myself. You know, knives are used for good all the time. People carve things, people cut things, they cut meat, they cut food, they even. People also kill people with knives. Imagine a knife, gun. We're not selling knives anymore. A knife was used to kill someone. Are you people for real? You should be lining up at the Secretary of War in the Pentagon's office to be assisting the United States government to make the military so powerful because that nobody does mess with us and we can head off a world war. I'm just telling you, there were a lot of projects I was knee deep in. Thankfully, a lot of the companies that provided this tech were very good. Even companies I don't like, but they were very helpful. But that is some serious bullshit. I don't know what kind of world they think we live in. That's why I saw this tweet this morning from Cash. Obviously, I don't discuss these tweets with him anymore. I'm out. But I saw this from the FBI, Director Patel. He's like, hey, we're working the FBI that is obviously working 247 to stay ahead of the threat and implement a sweeping cyber strategy pursuant to President Trump's Cyber strategy for America. President Trump understands the cyber threat. I'm telling you, he sees it like mad. The mutually assured destruction nuclear policies of the Reagan era and earlier, where, folks, we can't stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons around the world. We're trying. We did in Iran. But I'm saying, like, I shouldn't say we can't stop it. We can. I'm saying, like, the people who have nuclear weapons have them. North Korea, you know, Russia. Russia's got a huge portfolio of them. China and other countries as well. You're not going to stop that. Now we're there. That's the world we live in. That's the deck of cards we got to play. So now we build our own nuclear portfolio to say, well, if you decide to launch a nuclear weapon at us, like House of Dynamite style, that was that movie on Netflix that freaked everybody out, right? Then we are going to mutually assure your destruction by launching at U2. And then everybody dies. So your choice is suicide or not. This administration sees some of these advanced cyber weapons the same way, and that was a total sea change. That's why I get so pissed off at these AI companies who don't understand the threat picture to this country. I wish you could just read them in on an intelligence briefing once or twice a week and then wipe their minds and then say, hey, here's what we're dealing with every day. You want to help now? I guarantee you they'd be like, oh, okay, we changed our mind. Now we understand on a Lighter note, I don't like to leave you guys show not over yet. But I don't like to leave you guys with you know, kind of bad feelings. And as my grandmother would say, Ajita for the day. Technology's obviously provided us with incredible, incredible medicines, transportation technology, materials science, crispr, Genesis, gene editing. I mean all this stuff is exploding quantum AI. I use this specific AI program for my health. I probably put too much information in there. I just don't want to die. I had that whole cancer scare thing. Well not scary I guess, but it always scary to me. Hopefully everything's good in the future. I put a lot of information. It's amazing what it'll spit out. I learned something about eosinophils last night I'd never known before. What are eosinophils? Check it all out. I had an elevated eosinophil thing. I found the link on AI last night or it found that I couldn't even believe. I could not believe technology. If we can get a hold of this and get the guardrails up and make sure everything is balanced going forward because this stuff does have potential to cause us real harm. I don't have a Tesla. I've been thinking about buying one for a while. I have to have special cars, if you know what I mean. For security purposes. However, I've been thinking about it for a while. I got to tell you, I obviously I know about the self driving feature. You see freaking, you know, waymos and all kinds of cars. Most cars have them now. The car I have because of some stuff on it doesn't have that option, the self driving option. However, I may be the last person on earth who is like floor but this I, I've never even, I don't think I've even driven in a Tesla. But you hear all Tesla owners, you know, bragging about their cars and the self driving technology. Sometimes you see them on the road, they're like shaving when and I'm always like damn, that's pretty cool because I, you know, I hate driving. We don't have the team with us. I saw this video and a guy posted this. If you don't own a Tesla, it's pretty, it's about a minute. But this is pretty cool stuff. Check this out. Owning a Tesla in 2026 is wild because every day I wake up with a fully charged battery and all I need to do is unplug my Tesla, get inside, buckle my seat belt, enter a destination and then I just tap start self driving and it will Literally drive me out of my garage to my destination without me having to do a single thing. Then once my Tesla arrives at its destination, it will look for its own parking spot and park itself for me. Totally understand. This actual self driving technology is actually quite old. I mean it's not new. Everybody knows about self driving. All I'm telling you is I watch this video and I hang out. I spend a lot of time Miami. I love Miami. Liberals stay out of there. City's closed. Cities club. We're not taking new applicants. I love Miami. I'm a city kid at heart. So is my wife. I spent a ton of time down there. You what? Folks in the chat. Anyone from Miami, down in the Brickell area. Down there. You walk around the streets of Brickell, it's like freaking Blade Runner. Like the new Blade Runner. There's like the little robot door dash things all over the street. I love how they like always find a crosswalk. There's waymos everywhere. I'm waiting for like stormtroopers and stuff from Star wars to come over there. It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It's like you never thought you'd be. We're only like 10 minutes away from like those drone taxis with the propellers and the parachutes. It is insane. You walk down a Brickell. Anybody that. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Waymos and robots everywhere. So I don't want you to be down on. The technology is good. There's going to be a massive productivity boom as artificial intelligence implanted into robotics basically takes over the production, eliminates the need for a lot of hard human capital inputs. And everything you buy is now going to be dramatically cheaper. No it isn't. Yes it is. Only liberals who don't understand economics don't understand this. This has only happened like 100,000 times over the last two decades. Remember flat screen TVs when they came out four or five thousand dollars, they weighed like 700 pounds. I had one, it was like this thick. Now you buy one in Walmart. It's a better technology. It's like 150 bucks on sale on Black Friday. And it weigh and it weighs like five pounds. This is going to happen with everything, folks. Because the expensive inputs to build these things are going to get really cheap. Even the inputs like the rare earth minerals and the silicon and all of it, the processing is going to be done by robots too. We are getting there. We are getting there and we're all going to be better for it. So I don't want to leave you with any bad stuff. Folks. Thanks for tuning in. Please make sure to download the Rumble Wallet.
