Can't Fix Stupid (Ep. 2576)

28:35I'm going to get involved in that. I'm just telling you, that's become, it's such a big deal in Florida, the influx of people from red states that your argument doesn't work. People leave for all kinds of reasons. Yes. And the one reason seems to be you live in a blue state because we don't have this problem in red states.

28:54Folks, these, they just, there comes a point in your life where don't you get sick of being lied to? Again, I'm not talking about just Folex MAGA, but I'm talking about for persuadable younger folks and others who are not diehard socialists yet. It's hard to break those people until Bezmanov said it right. Yuri Bezmanov, the KGB defector. Until you get the boot in the ass and the gate locks behind you in the gulag, you probably won't wake up. But to people who are on the fence and there's six out of 10 Democrats believing the stupid bumper stickers about socialism. If it's so great, why isn't it so great?

29:35they tell you things that are just outright lies. Hat tip the great Mays Moore. I saw this yesterday. This is a great, you have to, if you're listening again on Apple or Spotify, please go watch the video on Rumble. The video is exclusive to Rumble. I need you to watch this. There's a chart in the background as you'll listen and see Obama talking about how Obamacare is going to cut your costs and how wonderful it is. There's a chart in the background of actual numbers. I know this bothers Folex, MAGA, and other crazy people, things like facts and data. I know you claw at your faces when you see them because you don't want to admit you're a liar.

30:11There's a chart of Obamacare and health care expenses exploding after Obamacare, despite the fact they told you if you like your plan, you could keep your plan, and it was going to keep costs down. I want you to listen to Obama as health care costs have exploded since he told you this years ago. Check this out. Health care is not a privilege for the fortunate few. It is a right. And I knew that if we didn't do something about our unfair and inefficient health care system, it would keep driving up our deficits. It would keep burdening our businesses. It would keep hurting our families. And it would keep holding back economic growth.

30:51Now, knowing you can offer your family the security of health care, that's priceless. Now you can do it for the cost of your cable bill. probably less than your cell phone bill

31:03folks none of that is actually true again in the era of surrogate brains what do I mean by surrogate brain if you're a P1 you know artificial intelligence is effectively a surrogate brain even if you are clinically stupid have an IQ below 60 you can ask someone to type into an AI Did Obamacare actually reduce health care costs? Look at the chart. They've exploded so much so that the Democrats in 2025, who are now telling you socialism is wonderful, who told you Obamacare was wonderful, had to shut down the government 2025 because Obamacare got so expensive, they needed more taxpayer dollars to pay for the Obamacare they told you would be less expensive.

31:53You can read the headlines yourself. Man, woman, it's called homework. The reason we are so hated by pillars, doomers, grifters, put up that headline, and media zeros in the business is because we just use their own statements against them. Bloomberg, not some right-wing outlet, correct, fellas? Democrats threaten U.S. shutdown as Obamacare premium fight rages. I thought the premiums were supposed to go down. They shut the government down over this. Now, how does this integrate back into the stupid six out of 10 people falling for the socialism thing that act like PSYACs? Stupid is a choice. They just don't want to do the homework.

32:43I just told you at the beginning of the show, listen, I voted for Byron Donalds for governor in the primary. Fine. Guys, ladies, vote for who you want. This is an information show, processing information. You like my pick? Fine. You like other picks? That's terrific. Do your thing. You want to still vote Democrat? Clearly I can't stop you, nor would I be interested. You're allowed to vote for who you want. I'd prefer you won't, but it's not my choice, it's yours. But I am going to give you real information. And with that information, I believe the choice is obvious. That Republicans are not the fix for all your problems, I grant you that.

33:18But the cause of all your problems are Democrats. Healthcare is a problem. I'm voting Democrat. They caused this problem. They just told you they were going to fix your problem and it made it worse. Why are they so hooked on this healthcare debate? Integrate it back into the socialism argument. Folks, the Democrats have understood since the 250th, since the beginning of the big government, even big government founding fathers surrogates, there were a few of them, very few, but there were some, have always understood that to control people, you got to control the outcomes in their life. If you could control someone's health, if you could control someone's health, the ability to get a bypass, the ability to get cancer treatments, ladies and gentlemen, you control everything.

34:07Almost nothing else matters. If you have life-saving, I got chemo, I got A, B, ABVD chemo. If ABVD chemo is controlled by the government and you need it to live, you won't survive without it. And the government can do it. You will do anything for the government because they own you. That is why the Democrats love the gaslighting on Obamacare and keep injecting themselves into the equation. They don't care about the money. I want to show you what I mean, that they will tell you any story at all. he said he's building some ai agent which i thought was pretty cool he's building some ai agent where we can feed i love segments like this when i first uh radio i was a guest host on radio for sean hannity who was gracious enough to let me host the show we did a segment someone can probably go find it back then i said to linda the producer hey linda i really want to do this obama versus obama debate she's like what do you mean i said i want to show segments of obama Saying contradictory things where he's debating himself.

35:15I can't do any of that on immigration. Oh, I got a pen and a phone. Both of those things can't be true. Geed's developing some AI thing. What? Let me see. Oh, Biden versus Biden. Yes, he's still got it. We used to do it with Biden too. Biden v. Biden. He did it last week. Man, I'm losing track of my own show. Now we're going to do Syed versus Syed. Why? This guy is a complete nutbag running in Michigan. The guy's a total communist. He's running for us. And I want to listen to you in his own words, saying completely contradictory things about health care. Why? Because he's lying to you. No different than Joe Kent lied to you.

35:55That he had some authority he didn't have. You can look it up, you know. Well, I looked it up. I looked it up for you. Here's Abdul El-Sayed in his first clip, debating himself, saying, yeah, man, private insurance? You know the auto workers and union workers that busted your ass? for these really nice health care plans. You forfeited salaries and everything. You busted your ass to get these health care plans. You understand the Democrats you're voting for are the only ones who want to take that away, right? No. Okay, listen to his own words. Check this out. What Medicare for All does is it does away with the private insurance market, right?

36:32It now has one single payer. That's why we call it single payer, right? One insurance, and that is the government of the United States. okay so can we just use logic and reason for a minute just for a second again if you're not interested it's okay if you're still here 46 000 people you can tune out now logic and reason correct he supports medicare for all okay he did okay correct supports medicare for all thank you he also says in the same clip in his own words medicare for all means there will be no private insurance. I'm just telling you what he said. It's not my version of what he said. It's his actual words.

37:10And by the way, this is not a minority position with Democrats, okay? Here he is on one of the weekend shows this weekend. Now all of a sudden changes his mind about private insurance. He's just debating himself. He's just a bit. Why would he change his mind? The answer is he doesn't care about telling you the truth. He cares about gaining power. And the way to get power, i.e. what Kent is doing too, is just to lie to people. Lie to people, get them to believe it, isolate from the truth, gaslight them, and then later on go and give them the double barrel and steal their health care plan, which is exactly what's going to happen if you elect this guy.

37:51Check this out. You know what's taking away people's private insurance? the fact that they can't afford it, the fact that the deductibles, the premiums have gotten way too high because of people like Mike Rogers who take checks from the private insurance industry and then fail to regulate them. So they keep upping the prices on people, putting people into bankruptcy. We hold$225 billion in medical debt. I want to know what Mike Rogers wants to do about that. I want to abolish it and I want to make sure that every single person in this country has the health care that they need and deserve. But will you be saying on that debate stage people can keep their private insurance if they want it?

38:24Yeah, look, I'm not against abolishing private insurance. I'm for guaranteeing you public insurance so that you never have to worry about what happens if you turn 26 or get a job or lose a job or turn 65 or get married or get divorced. All the ways that Mike Rogers is OK with you losing your health care in our current health care system.

38:46Andy, is that not Syed debating himself? what we just said in a prior clip, Medicare for all, get rid of private insurance. I'm not against getting rid of private insurance. Then maybe you should tell yourself that. El-Sayed, it's your turn for an answer. Do you support abolishing private insurance? I do, Medicare for all. Abdul El-Sayed, what's your thoughts about private insurance? I don't support abolishing private insurance. I just asked you that question a second ago.

39:15Why do you want to be lied to? why do you want to be, I'm asking a serious question. I'm not jerking you around. Joe Kent was blocked from his investigation. Does Joe Kent have any authority to conduct an investigation? What exact investigative body is he going to use? None, he has no other. Why do you want to be lied to? No, I trust what he's saying anyway. Good for you. Good luck with that. I got a bridge over, you know the bridge in Palm City is for sale, I hear, Justin. Write a check to Justin for$10, we'll turn over the naming rights to you. and in all caps too that means it's really important i tried good luck with that you probably trust abdul el-sayed too despite him telling you completely different things you think there's a big auto worker presence in michigan justin's like nah of course we're being sarcastic so if you're an auto worker in michigan unionized or whatever it may be and you've been busting your ass with whatever, Ford, for the last 30 years of your life, how do you feel you're now getting ready to retire, right?

40:20And maybe you're not a Medicaid or Medicare eligible and this nice gold-plated plan you bargained for your whole life busting your ass, Abdul El-Sayed is going to take it from me. I'm just asking how you feel about that. Well, I still hate Republicans. Okay, you're allowed to hate Republicans. Republicans are not the one effing you over. They're just not.

40:43folks they pick the strangest freaking heroes too this is i mean i i cannot the make it make sense make it make sense why people choose stupid in this era of surrogate brains and information at your fingertip in my phone i got one i guarantee you you have one too you can

41:09why to justin for the bridge worried say 47 thank you of course you can always tip on rumble we don't we don't ask for it we don't want your money but that's very nice we don't i'm gonna i'm one of the hosts but it's very nice feature a lot of creators are you know struggling we are not despite what the doomers and grifters love to tell you we're in fine but that's very nice I know for the bridge. I don't know. I have to talk to Martin County. It'll be the worried six, two 47 bridge. We're now on. Maybe we can just do it for the Dan Bongino show. It's not like a formal renaming ceremony. Folks.

41:47I said to you the other day, if you're going to choose stupid as a choice, there's no backsies. Okay. You don't get to run from the fact. If you lose your insurance plan that you voted for a guy who told you he's going to take your insurance plan in Michigan. And he's not the only one. There's no backsies. I thought about that too because I want you to see what happens when reality kicks you in the kick me in the Jimmy Beavis and Butthead style I mean play that Mangione clip from Fox this is another one they picked the strangest heroes so Mangione who just pled guilty in federal court to this stalking charge yesterday I had the same I stumbled over court in a stalking charge here's a supporter of this guy now pled guilt in other words i did it here's a supporter like stunned by what were you stunned by what were you stunned by yes he was innocent until proven guilty but that doesn't mean you as an independent observer can't ingest information and go well you know those allegations look pretty serious you were stunned the fact that people say this stuff out loud again is indicative of the sciacs don't be a sciac please stupid is a choice check this out i would say it wasn't surreal it was weird to hear him say it like guilty yes like i plead guilty and yes i understand all these charges and kind of give his own statement um ironically i did find out both on the same sleep medication so that's my little bonding moment there um yeah and just it was kind of to hear someone i guess like he admitted in open court and this was always a possibility with this case that a lot of people said he was being framed i went back and forth whether he's being framed or not i don't know whether he did it why he did it i always wanted to presume his innocence when the mainstream media painted him guilty and today well yeah that's reality came that day came upon us he pled guilty to counts one and two well okay when does reality take what she said at the end oh wow now reality just set in like when does reality set in for like the joe kent supporters when does reality set in for the doomers and grifters and when does reality set in for the socialists out there who realize they're being like, is it ever going to set in?

44:13Are you not embarrassed? Have you seen that Sebastian Maniscalco? Aren't you embarrassed? There's no point. Like, how do you... Justin and I live in the same neighborhood. Well, all of us do now. These guys either lived here or moved here. Andy, did you live here before? No? Okay. Well, you love it, right? It's the greatest place in the world. Although, residents asked me to stop saying that because people keep... It's full. Yes, I'm sorry. Martin County's full. Martin County's definitely full. Someone told my wife and one of my daughters school things. I moved down here because of Dan. My wife was like, oh man, don't tell him that.

44:45The only reason is people get mad at me in the neighborhood. So I'm not going to tell you. What's a great place? I live in Waco, Texas. Waco's a great place. The Rudy's, I love their barbecue. I stayed out there a lot. President Bush is out there. Forget it. I don't even know. At what point, seriously, folks, does reality kick in for you? Why would you constantly want to be lied to? And when you go to these, this is where I was going with it. When you go to like a family function or a school barbecue, like aren't you a little bit embarrassed talking about like crazy, ridiculous nonsense where anybody can pick up a phone and go, hey, Grock, is this true?

45:26No, it isn't. People you don't even know, they'll be like, dude, that doesn't sound right. Like you're just making up. Aren't you embarrassed at all?

45:37How is it that this inversion has happened? How is it that so many people, it's a small pocket, but it's not insignificant. So many people have played this inversion game where the good guys became the bad guys in their eyes. And the bad guys are the good guys. You realize what a sucker you have to be to have fallen for this? people with documented histories of being liars of associating with the most disgusting people there are photos out there boner phone pine cone dude what part of this attracted you?

46:19you know I'm just going to continue to hammer away folks there's no backseas for us see the thing is when you run on a record and numbers history usually will tell the true story because you can only lie for so long notice we're not asking no one in the MAGA movement that's actually served and supports this president is asking for backseas no one's asking for backseas on our side no one's saying oh man trade that back here's a CBS report that came out yesterday again on the crime numbers like they're actual numbers you're either murdered or you're not correct like what happens when you're murdered.

46:56Justin's like, gee, I don't know. You're freaking dead. Like if you're not murdered, then you're not dead. Right. You may be assaulted, but you're not dead. So it's pretty easy to prove CBS. No fan of the president. This must be very painful that I put this stuff. No one's asking to trade this back. This is what the truth looks like when you can produce actual results, not just chatter. Check this out. Data from the FBI shows that in 2025, the U.S. saw its largest the largest year in the largest year in the largest year in the largest year in violent crime since they started tracking it nearly a century ago.

47:30These days, the sounds of sirens are less frequent in Newark, New Jersey, a city long known for its high crime rate. I feel it's been a lot safer. Safety in Newark is very good right now. Recent data shows Newark saw the largest decline in homicides among major cities in the country, down more than 64 % for the first half of this year compared to that period last year. Now, why did I throw that in? I've already told you the story a couple of times. Why keep bringing it up? Because it's an actual number, easily verifiable. Now, to the guy who commented to me on X earlier today that stop saying stupid is a choice.

48:12I'm going to prove to you why I will continue to say it and even put it on a shirt. Stupid is a choice because it is. Here's an article this morning in Axios's morning email. Very popular email list. Axios pretends to be a journalistic outfit, right? Like we do journalism and facts. So if you wanted to say, guys, Justin, you wanted to find out why crime had gone down under the Trump administration. This is a crazy idea. Who do you think you would ask in the Trump administration just for an answer? Like, did you do anything there? Any ideas? Justin's like, gee, I don't know. Maybe FBI, DHS, DOJ, like we would go and ask.

48:55No, because when stupid is a choice and you don't want to give Donald Trump and his presidency any credit for things like the border being closed down, for things like crime rates dropping to all time lows. You just take the stupid choice instead. I'd put up that Axios piece. I'll show you exactly what I mean. This is why I will never stop saying this. Axios had a choice. Axios could have reached out to me. They could have reached out to Cash. They could have reached out to Mark Wayne Mullen. They could have reached out to the president, Susie Wiles, Steve Miller, Tony Salisbury, anybody. They note about the biggest violent crime drop in 90, 90 years.

49:33Wow, that's a lot. That's like, I'm not even 90 and I feel old. They note experts The experts are back folks Experts note that the nation's violent crime rate Now the lowest since 1956 Has been dropping since 2022 The reasons for the decrease Which is widespread geographically Are unclear

50:02Axios, Mike Allen There's a way to clear that up You could go and ask I mean we've covered it on the show I'm not going to go over the whole thing again again, UFAP warrants adding task force officers plus subs out of headquarters integrating the FBI into state police and local police fugitive apprehension efforts you could have just asked the question you don't want to ask the question because you're afraid you're going to get an answer that will make President Trump and his administration look good, the doomers do the same thing they do the same freaking thing folks don't become one of these idiots they skip ahead if you could we'll save ej for you but skip ahead to the the lady with the biological needs please don't become one of these idiots there's a you stupid i promise is a choice axios chose stupid they could have said we reached out to dan bongino we reached out to cash patel if you say you hate my guts reach out to anybody in the administration they'll connect you to someone that can tell you what they did it wasn't all the fbi a lot of it was the great work of ice cbp dea kicked ass the marshals we weren't the only ones you could have just asked them you know but you chose stupid so sir respectfully i appreciate your comments it is a choice or else you become one of these people you may have seen this clip i hate these clips that go viral for all the wrong reasons but this is some new york democrat this this is what happens when you produce record numbers on on crushing crime and all that stuff and commies can't produce anything but torture deprivation jails economic uh depravity they can't produce anything what do you do you start screaming about how stealing is now okay from places like cvs and walgreens because they make money and produce jobs because people have biological needs i have biological needs too.

52:00I drink this deuterium depleted water. It's not cheap. Why do I drink it? Because I don't want to freaking die. I like it. I had cancer. It sucked. Two thumbs down on Yelp. That doesn't mean I get to steal it, but it's expensive. It's a biological need of mine. That does not authorize me to steal it. It's expensive to produce. It's my choice. Not if you're a Democrat, you get to do stupid because you're a SIAC and say things like, if I have biological needs, we should be able to steal from CVS. Yeah. And then CVS leaves your city and then you're stealing from no one because there's no one there.

52:36And then you'll complain about that too. Check this out. What we saw were crimes of poverty, people who were stealing things like toothpaste, people who are stealing things like, you know, soap. And that means if you're stealing those things, you need that. And we are choosing to protect billion-dollar companies like CBS and Walgreens over the people who are struggling to get by. So I would say that the true crime is that there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city. That there are people who can be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need. And so one One of the things that I'm fighting for at the state level is to make sure we pass things like treatment, not jail, and that we hold the line on the incredible criminal justice reforms that we have done over the last 10 and 20 years that are constantly being threatened by right wing media who are looking to fear longer about people who are actually just in absolute dire straits.

53:42Do you have any idea? how remember was it was it billy madison what you just said so so cvs should open its doors and say it's all free it's all free come in and take everything but don't show an id at the door god forbid we have like theft id please stupid's a choice I used to go home on the Long Island Expressway when I was leaving the Secret Service office in Manhattan. I lived off exit 62. It was a long way. Imagine like exit 61, which it wasn't, was like the stupid is a choice exit. Don't get off. Get off at 62 instead. You don't have to be stupid. You can just think this through rationally.

54:35Like, hey, if it's free and everybody goes in and gets to steal stuff because they have a need. Who gets to say what the need is? How does the store stay open? Why would a store just let you steal stuff? Are these hard questions? They're no harder than asking ChatGPT, does NCTC have investigative? You can just ask these questions. Stupid is a freaking choice. Although that you're probably laughing, Muttley's in the Mottles, at this absolute imbecile. talking about, we have biological needs. We should be able to just flee stuff or whatever she's insinuating there. It's not funny. There are really idiots who believe this stuff.

55:20Six out of ten Democrats who believe this crap. You're floating around in the sea of people who choose to be stupid. However, this has been a pretty heavy show today. I got Scott Pressler coming up, but I do like to laugh a little bit. And you know one thing socialists do not do is laugh. They are not funny. They're never funny. Their humor isn't even funny. Even their comedians, as we said in the beginning of the show, are complete life losers and zeros. They're not funny at all. This, however, is funny, folks. Now, I just want to tell you a little behind the scenes. an almost violent dispute.

56:03There was like HR complaints. Andy's filing a complaint. He wants it in writing. Jasmine had to get involved. It was an almost, I'm kidding, of course. But it was an almost violent dispute in the beginning of the show about this segment. First put our Make America, because it is time to make America. Comedies for work, because we're going to make it fun. We're committed. I saw this segment yesterday on X and I thought this was one of the funniest clips I've ever seen on local news. Let me just categorize. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I said something like that. I said, look, he's saying I didn't.

56:41He's saying I made a general statement. Funniest clip ever, whatever. Jackie, makeup lady Jackie, and Jasmine agreed like this is hilarious. So did I. Justin's like, it's not nearly as funny as Charles Barkley. So I'll play that in a second. this happened on local news yesterday the day before i don't yes it's funny no it's not you side with team justin and andy or you side with me i think this is hilarious check this out provide yourself with food and again uh you're there now they're ice fishing because everything is frozen and um you're looking for fat in the beaver yeah the beaver is the beaver is the most sought after It is.

57:24Ryan, would you, do you think you could eat beaver? It's fat and then it's meat. It made them all sick, though. They all got sick after it. Well, you can't eat diseased animals. Oh, God. What about a moose? Yeah. I don't know anything about this show, Nina, but you're really funny. You are a really funny gal.

58:01Thank you, I think, by, as evidence, looking not even at the corner, looking directly, as evidenced by the overwhelming number of Muttleys in the chat, people going 5, 10 Muttleys, I think you agree that segment is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. I'm not even going to repeat that. What is that thing? If you know, you know. If you know, you know. And the lady on the thing is, am I crazy, but she seems completely oblivious. Quadruples down on, like, doesn't get, the poor guy. The poor guy doesn't know what, he thinks it's a survival segment. About eating furry animals or something. No, no, no.

58:42There's not what happened. There's not what happened. The dispute erupted near violence. It was like a Brazilian jiu-jitsu match. Justin was like ground and impounded. I was like covering my face. I'm like, you're younger than me. It's not fair. It's not fair. I had to like do punch defense in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It was blood everywhere. It was like a violent Texas chainsaw massacre. No, it was not a true story. Some of you will get that. Justin said, I think this one was a lot funnier. This is Charles Barkley, Auburn, War Eagle, but the round mound of rebound. Doing a little segment about, Well, let's just let you judge for yourself which one's funny.

59:21You can't bang, bang and go through or get it inside reverse, outside reverse pivot, make quick move. You have to get a small guy off balance. Well, the only way a small guy can guard a guy like yourself or Joker is to take their legs away. So you're smaller, you're taking their base. So they're leaning in. That's not what Draymond's doing. Draymond is bracing. And Joker, instead of going around him, he's just banging and banging and banging. When a guy's banging you, you spin off of him. Those are the worst defenders to play against, actually. Because if you can feel their body, come on. Look at Jack.

59:5718 points for Joker. Only Nugget in double figures. 69-59. Golden State shooting 67. Way out of one right now. Way back at the pool party. Look at Jack. You didn't need to. I will take a break and come back with more on the American Express half-time report. I know a lot of you are upset at professional sports, understandably. I'm just telling you, like, Justin, you like the NBA, right? I like watching basketball a lot. It's the only thing, like, me, Paula, and Amelia can all watch. Inside the NBA, stuff like that happens, right, all the time, like almost every night. And Shaq can never contain himself.

1:00:38Charles will say something. Matter of fact, when Justin brought up the Charles clip, There's like five or six others like that. I don't know which one's funnier, but it was a violent UFC. Like we should have Dana White here. We could have sold tickets for the match. It was crazy. Hey, I've got a great interview. I got a banger of an interview, pun intended. This is an awesome one. This interview is fantastic. You know, Scott Pressler, guy's amazing. I gave him an honorary PhD, doctor of philosophy in Get Out to Vote, GOTV. He's been an activist forever. Really, really good guy. He's like, hey, man, I'd love to come on the show and talk about a couple things.

1:04:56welcoming i say back to the show because he was a frequent guest on my radio show the radio show will be returning the podcast we've on the radio stations across the country so we'll be hearing a lot of scott hopefully you'll come back to the show often we love having you on you've done a lot for the conservative movement scott pressler scott how you doing buddy how's everything going? Today is primary day in Florida, so we are ready and raring to go. And thank you for having me back. Well, you do amazing work. You know, when I was back at the FBI, I remember I ran into you at Reagan Airport. You were doing what you always do, traveling around the country, trying to do what you do well, getting people to go out and vote because, you know, unsurprisingly, votes are what win elections.

1:05:38Just kind of big picture, before we get into some of the stuff you found in Minnesota and Pennsylvania that the audience really, really needs to hear about. I read an article in, I think it was National Review, it was about 10 years ago. And the article had a very simple premise. It was that the Republican Party has not so much failed, but has failed to keep up with the Democrats on the larger fish in the pond pool. In other words, Democrats are really, really good using some of their organized labor allies and all of their street activists at registering voters. And the premise in the article is very simple.

1:06:13If you're going to go fish in a pond, do you want to fish in a big pond with 10 fish or with 10 ,000 fish? The answer is fairly obvious. Yet we as Republicans, not you, you've taken the opposite approach, have kind of missed that, that the way to win elections is to register so many more voters that even if you're off by a few percent, the math still works for you in your get out to vote, your GOTV efforts. You grasped that a long time ago, and you've done amazing work at that. Thank you. It's a game of attraction and addition, right? And so I think one reason why we were successful in 2024 is we had Maha.

1:06:52We had libertarians come in with Bitcoin and being anti-war. And then we had moms and dads. We were coalition building and using that to register voters. And so in order to win this year in 2026 and in 2028, we must always be in a 24-7, 365 coalition ground game that also couples in voter registration. And two very key data points that I always love to hone in on are, by and large, about 42 % of hunters are not registered to vote. 42%. Wow. And imagine if we got every Second Amendment enthusiast across the country to actually vote their gun values. I don't think we'd ever lose again. And in Michigan alone, there are hundreds of thousands of gun owners that are not registered.

1:07:48In Pennsylvania, hundreds of thousands. Extrabolate that to the Midwest. That would win Wisconsin, Michigan, and PA. And when it comes to our Christian community, one thing that we must tap into as well is the fact that 30 percent of Christians don't vote. And so what Democrats do really well is I don't believe that we necessarily always have to be winning over Democrats. Yes, it's important to go into cities. But my message is there are more of us than there are the opposition. opposition we have to get better at simply getting our people to vote and then we will win every election i want to add a follow-up because really i i don't i don't think there's anyone with more knowledge of this process than maybe as much but not more than you i mean you've proved what you did in pennsylvania was it was miraculous i i was astonished i used to have you on a radio show all the time talking about it but but i don't think because i get this a lot i've had this question And it's a very good question.

1:08:52People say, Scott, well, what does it matter if I'm registered? If I want to vote, I can register game day. And in many cases, you know, that's true. And just vote then. I try to explain to him, no, you're missing the point. If you are not a registered voter, you don't appear on a candidate's walk list when they're knocking on doors. You don't appear. They're not going to knock on a door for someone who's not registered because they want voters. So what winds up happening is if a candidate has a message that resonates to you, you're a hunter and you're not registered. but you really care about the second amendment.

1:09:22I would imagine you do, right? You hunt, unless you're bow hunting, right? You're going to need a rifle. You're going to need a firearm, correct? You're never going to hear from that candidate ever. You may not even know when the election is. You're busy. You got your life. Meanwhile, if you're on the darn list because you registered them, look, hey, it's candidate Joey Bag of Donuts. You believe in the second amendment. All of a sudden, wow, I really should go out and vote. Absolutely. Well, there's a lot to unpack here. And like you said, if you don't appear on the list, how am I going to garner that vote?

1:09:56How am I going to get that person out to the polls? But it's a couple of different things. Not every state has same-day voter registration. Sure, Wisconsin does. Minnesota clearly does. Virginia does. But many of the southern states require you to be registered 30 days prior to Election Day, i.e. Texas, I do believe. And in Pennsylvania, you have to be registered 15 days before Election Day. So if you're not registered, sorry, you're out of luck. And the reason why this is so important is look at even in Pennsylvania with Dave McCormick. We had 23 ,000 people vote provisionally on Election Day.

1:10:37Dave McCormick won by 15 ,000 votes. Had those people not been registered and had they not done a provisional vote, we may have only 52 seats in the Senate. But to bring this to Florida for a second, because today is primary day, please go out and vote. The polls close at 7 p.m. Eastern time zone. In Florida in 2016, remember Hillary Clinton? They were saying, we are winning early voting in Ohio and Florida so big that Donald Trump can't win. Of course that was false. But the impression it left in the voters when they heard, Donald Trump supporters heard that we couldn't win, how many people didn't vote because of their early voting?

1:11:20Fast forward, Dan, to 2022, when Governor DeSantis was running in Florida and we were winning early voting in blue counties. Suddenly, Broward County, West Palm Beach County, I believe more Republicans came out to vote because of the strength of our early voting numbers, and it puts seeds in their head. Yes, Republicans can win. And so it's this multi-pronged approach of the voter registration, of the early voting, of chasing ballots into boxes. And that is our strategy going forward in a 2026, 2028 and beyond to win elections. Now, I want to get to your book in a second, but you also have some really shocking information about Minnesota and Pennsylvania, some things you found.

1:12:08But if you could put the cover of the book up, guys, Scott has a new book out, encourage you to check it out. Scott's been a real friend to the movement for persistence. Scott Pressler, P-R-E-S-L-E-R. Go look that up wherever you buy your books. Check that out. Scott, again, we appreciate all your work. But, you know, we were chatting a little bit before the interview and you had mentioned, hey, we got some serious information about Minnesota, Pennsylvania, non-juror records. So let's start with Minnesota. What does my audience need to know about what you found there? Thank you. Earlier this year, we made public how they have a vouching system whereby one registered Minnesota voter can vouch, meaning these eight people live in my neighborhood.

1:12:54Those eight people, when they're registering to vote, don't need an ID, don't need proof of citizenship, don't need any proof that they are who they say they are. But the vouching, as James O 'Keefe just exposed in his viral content and video, they said to the person trying to vouch, you are the ID. And the reason why I'm bringing this to the attention and I want to popularize this is because we're trying so hard, Dan, to pass the gosh darn Save America Act. The American people demand proof of citizenship and we demand photo voter ID in order to secure our elections. Now, this is coupled and complicated by the fact that the Department of Homeland Security noted there are at least 250 ,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls alone in Cali, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

1:13:46And so I'm trying to do everything I can. The House has done its job. The president wants to Save America Act. And we need the Senate to act with budget reconciliation 3.0 to make sure that going into 2026, our elections are secure. I want to get to Pennsylvania in a second, but you reminded me of something there. The SAVE Act. Obviously, for me and my show, Allocation of Time, it's been priority number one. I just don't see how we continue going forward as a country if people just don't trust the system. You know, people act, Scott, like the United States in a system of relatively stable government, compared to the rest of the world at least, is just a foregone conclusion.

1:14:29We are the exception. We are not the rule. The minute people stop believing in the system, it collapses. Angels are not going to come down from heaven and go, we have therefore anointed the system. That's not the way it works. So the fact that people don't believe anymore that elections, many of them, are legitimate, is frightening. I want to bring that up because something happened, I believe it was Michigan with Dana Nessel. They prosecuted a couple cases of voter fraud in Michigan. It's a handful. I get it. But that's pretty shocking given the entire Gretchen Whitmer Democrat administration.

1:15:05It says to me one thing. No, not that the Democrats all of a sudden care about voter integrity. Let's not be dramatic. But that the public, you, me, and the people you got involved in the system, they're clamoring for election integrity and screaming from the rafters it's starting to have an effect where even some democrats are like we better do something quick or people ain't going to believe this is real so so much to talk about but let me explain why uh we're fighting so hard everyone that's watching your show right now i want you to know election integrity is the most important thing that we are are fighting to uphold right now so anthony Forlini in Michigan.

1:15:45He's the Macomb County clerk. He exposed that voters were receiving summons that were non-citizens. Anthony Forlini, who's running for secretary of state, then went through and looked up, are these people registered to vote? Yes, non-citizens were both registered to vote and voting in Michigan. Justin Heap, the county recorder for Maricopa County, looked up the non-citizens receiving jury summons. Sure enough, they are registered and vote and voting. So you know what I did? I said, if this is happening in Michigan and Arizona, this is happening in Pennsylvania. We have a law, Dan, that says that the non-juror list, people that are disqualified from serving as jurors, which is our right, they shall be maintained and open a public inspection.

1:16:32We have 67 counties. I've been requesting the non-juror records for all 67 in PA. Then what we're doing, Dan, is we are coupling the non-juror records with the voter rolls. And sure enough, we are finding non-citizens actively registered to vote, and some of those individuals have voted. And so we are bringing attention to this. And this comes as the DOJ, AAG, Harmeet Dillon of this Division of Civil Rights at DOJ. She's been doing a phenomenal job. She has even warned all 50 secretaries of state that any election official that knowingly registers or allows a non-citizen to vote may be held criminally liable.

1:17:17And I do believe that the work that we're doing, Dan, helping to expose this, will A, get our Senate hopefully to put a fire under their behinds to actually give us what we want. But number two, we are exposing potential fraud before it happens, not after it happens. We're talking to, if you're listening in our audio, Dr. Scott Pressler. Scott's like, I'm not a doctor. I'm anointing you a doctor of philosophy in GOTV, getting out the vote. PhD, Scott Pressler. It's an honorary degree from the Dan Bongino show. So don't worry about any malpractice. It's my degree from the show. But Scott, that is a very serious problem.

1:17:59I have never told you this. We've talked a lot. But this happened personally to me when I ran for Congress in Maryland District 6. It was a very heavily Democrat district. No Republican had come within, I believe, 15 points. And I encourage people out there to fact check so you think I'm making this up. We went out, and there's actually two questions for you embedded in this. I remember reading a lot of political science research before I went out. And face-to-face contact, knocking on people's doors, is invaluable. The data is crystal clear. the data I had read is it's not necessarily gonna make someone vote for you if they're a hardcore Democrat but it may make them sit out that race and be like you know what I kind of like that guy and the other guy even though he's not so much either way it works for you the face to face contact my team knocked on 50 plus thousand doors I knocked on 5500 doors myself I mean it was it was a lot of good hard sweat equity put into that race we lost that race by one point I forget it was like a just a couple thousand votes but we found out later to go back to your point someone sent us an email and i forget who that something like 10 000 plus people in a heavily democrat area the district had said in their jury forms that they were not citizens so even if you figured like okay maybe in the last six months they got their citizenship it certainly wasn't 13 000 And, you know, I was I was stunned.

1:19:28I was stunned. And I was like, well, what do you do at this point with this? You know, I was really shocked by that information that, you know, that this is the case. So what you're talking about is not some isolated problem to Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Wisconsin or wherever. And I want to make an ask, if any state legislators are watching the Dan Bongino show right now and you have the power to write legislation, please, I want you to follow what we have in Pennsylvania. write a law for your respective states that do the following. Say the juror records, the non-juror records shall be maintained annually for no less than five years that they must keep those on record.

1:20:17Number two, they must be open to public inspection. And number three, the reason for disqualification, i.e. age, illness, non-citizen, not a resident, must be included. Because right now, PA is the only state, to my knowledge, that allows for public inspection. Every other state, Dan, is under lock and key. And the reason why we've been so successful at helping to clean the voter rolls is not only the non-juror list, Dan, but I want to give a shout out to the Department of Homeland Security. They have a website called the WOW website, the worst of the worst criminal, heinous, illegal aliens. You know what we've been doing, Dan?

1:21:02We've been taking the list using state by state. You can put in there Pennsylvania. And we take all of the illegal aliens that have been apprehended by DHS and also put those through the voter rolls. And so to everyone watching, I want you to know, We are like a dog on a bone like this, and we are not going to stop until we ensure that only lawful, eligible American citizens are voting in our elections. Folks, this is what I'm talking about. Like, Scott's a do guy, not just a chatter guy. Like, go do stuff, you know, run for office, go take a position. Like, just go. You have to do that. And luckily, this audience on this show, they're all doers out there.

1:21:46Scott, I have an idea. It just occurred to me as you were saying that. I don't know if you're down or not. I certainly am. I like a carrot and stick approach. I prefer more carrots. I mean, if you're going to sit here and just, you know, throw bombs all day, people are just going to, you know, leave and they don't want to hear negativity. To any lawman, I got a friend, Brian Chisholm. He is a friend of mine. He is a delegate in the state of Maryland. He is an old neighbor. He's a great conservative. If you would put forward a piece of legislation like that, Scott, if I can get these, a delegate in every state, I don't care who you are, to put that legislation, I don't care if you call it the Pressler Act, me and Scott, we'll both retweet it and we'll celebrate you as every state.

1:22:28There we go. I got a thumbs up. What do you think, guys? We got to keep track of this. Scott, if you could just get it to my team, I don't care. Call it the Pressler Act. Call it the PA Act, the Pressler Act Act, like ATM machine machine. I don't care. But I I will mention your name on the show. Brian, you're my friend. Let's do that in Maryland first. Listen, if it's a zero likelihood of getting passed in a Democrat state, Scott, at least we're on the record. All we're asking is a very simple thing, what Scott just said. Get non-eligible people off the ballot who said they're not eligible. This isn't hard.

1:23:02There you go. See, Scott Pressler and I doing stuff. Scott, let me get to – this is a great idea. Guys, keep track of this. And we'll put their picture up too. We will celebrate you across the country. Yes, we'll give credit where presidents do. Yes, exactly. Carrots sometimes, not sticks. I get this question a lot. And it's funny, a couple of people have asked me to ask this question to you because no one registers more voters than you do. Nobody. You're just out there. It's become just a passion of yours. Do you have any kind of tricks and a how-to guy? Is it gun shows? You have to obviously get permission, I guess, if it's not a public area.

1:23:44You obviously can't go to polling centers and sit inside. You've got that 150 foot, whatever it is. But how exactly do you get all these people registered to vote? I mean, your numbers are just staggering. Thank you. So let me give you an example. Some states do have requirements, like in Florida. You have to have a code if you're collecting the forms for a third party. In Texas, you have to be a volunteer deputy voter registrar. In North Dakota, they don't even have voter registration. So there are different rules. But basically, here, let me give you an example for Pennsylvania. No training is required.

1:24:23You don't need a certificate. You don't need permission from the Secretary of State. Any person, including non-citizens, can go out with voter registration forms and talk to the American people and get them registered. Here's how I ensure that I am registering like-minded individuals. Number one, I'm going to places that I know that conservatives are going to be. I'm going to, like you said, GunShowTrader.com, which has every gun show for all 50 states in the entire country. I call up the gun shows and I say, hey, I'm not a vendor. I'm not selling anything. Can I set up a voter registration table nonpartisan?

1:25:01Nine times out of 10, they let me set up a table. for free, no charge, that I'm registering our beautiful hunters and our Second Amendment community to vote. Now, when I'm at a fair or a festival or a rodeo, those again are places that are probably going to be more like us. I bring a whiteboard with me on an easel. And what I do, Dan, is I'll put up maybe something controversial. Do you support ICE? Red in a marker is yes. Yes, blue is no. When voters come up to my table, Dan, to write on there, do you support ICE? And they pick up the red pen. I know immediately, red Republican, yes, they support ICE.

1:25:43I pull out my voter registration form. I get up my signup sheet and I go into action knowing this is a supporter and I must get them registered. I must collect their information and I must earn their vote this November. if they pick up the blue pen, that's a Democrat, very likely. They don't support ICE. And so therefore, I wish them a lovely day. I thank them so much for their effort and for coming over to our table. And that way, I am legally and lawfully ensuring I am registering like-minded individuals that also allow them to come up to me. I'm not being confrontational. I'm not in their face.

1:26:19They are choosing to come over to us to answer a question and be engaged. Should men be banned from women's private spaces? Do you want to ban property taxes? And you can even use more fluffy things, too, just to create dialogue. But the whiteboard has been a very powerful engagement tool when talking with voters. Scott, this has really been really informative for me. I mean, I've been in this space well over a decade, run a couple campaigns myself. And I got to tell you, I just learned, I feel like I just, you know, I'm in a PhD course for my honorary PhD is paying off already for you. So just a question here I wanted to get in.

1:27:02Also, show the book again if you could, guys. Scott's book is called, again, The Persistence. Pick it up. Scott Pressler, P-R-E-S-L-E-R. Check it out wherever you buy your books. The rise in socialism, more of a kind of big picture question. I've said on my show, and I will continue to say, I think the impulse to be, and I'm not condemning anyone. I get it. People get angry because like, how could you believe this stupid stuff? They've killed people, tortured and put them in gulags like socialism. Come on. People fled Cuba. You know, I live in South Florida. Go mention socialism in a Cuban cafe.

1:27:35You're lucky you make it out of there alive. But we have to control that impulse. You have to understand bumper sticker messaging. It's really easy. Like everybody gets treated fairly and gets free stuff. Being a Republican, a conservative, a MAGA movement individual out there is hard. You have to sit down and explain to people exactly why government treating people, quote, equally means, in fact, treating them unequally. It means stealing people's property. And once property doesn't mean anything, your property doesn't mean anything either. Even if you got someone else's property, they'll take it from you later if you get, quote, too rich or successful.

1:28:11There's a lot of hard work in it, but it's got to be done. I think it's first important to acknowledge why people are seeking an alternative to what we currently have. I think it's evident our education system is failing us publicly. I think it's evident our health care system is failing us. I think it's evident that the housing market is failing us. And I think it's evident that young people are feeling the squeeze, right? We hear from them every single day. How am I going to afford a family? How am I going to afford gas? How am I going to afford a car? How am I going to afford that dream home and the American dream that I've been promised?

1:28:53And so the left, as you said, it's very difficult to be a Republican because we are the party of responsibility. Right. And we are the party of individual, not collective freedom. And so when the left is promising you everything and anything, it's very hard for us to say, no, we want you to be responsible and earn it and that the government shouldn't provide everything for you. But here are, so number one, my answer is, if we are going to stop the rise of socialism, then we have to provide alternatives. What is our alternative to public education? And so I think a lot of us argue for school choice.

1:29:34The two best ways to make it out of poverty and to uplift yourself and to empower yourself are in education and property ownership. shit. If the Republican Party is going to succeed for the next generation, I think the top two platforms that we need to have are number one, school choice, which is why Florida elected Governor DeSantis in 2018, defeating Gillum. And number two, this is the most important, the Republican Party must utter the following words, abolish property taxes. That is one of the single most powerful transfers of generational wealth that we could provide to the American people in modern history.

1:30:22Because do we really own what we have, Dan, if I have to continue paying for property that I've already paid off? And if I don't pay it, that the government can simply take that property away from me and sell it to somebody else. And so if we create that generational transfer of wealth, I think we will bring a lot of people over to our party. We will create a lot of wealth for future generations and we will actually uplift people out of poverty. And that is part of the alternative plan that I think we must utilize going forward. Scott Pressler, you've been a great friend to the show and certainly to the movement.

1:30:58Your hard work in Pennsylvania. You are a results guy. I love spreadsheets, guys, man. Just show me the numbers, man. Opinions are great. Show me the numbers, right? We really appreciate it. As always, you're welcome back anytime you know how to contact us. We would love to hear from you and make sure you check out his book again, The Persistence by Scott Pressler. Scott, thanks for your time. Thanks. And last thing, Dan, real quick, Alaska, this November, please vote yes to ballot measure number two to defeat ranked choice voting. Vote yes to end the mess. Vote yes to end the mess. We will defeat ranked choice voting and we will replace Lisa Murkowski if she does not give us the Save America Act.

1:31:39Thank you, Dan Bongino. Oh, I really appreciate you getting that in ranked choice voting. Bubonic plague to me is more popular than ranked choice voting. And I've never even had it. I've just heard about it. Scott, thanks again. We appreciate it. He's right, folks. Ranked choice voting is a cancer on the body politic. It is gross. Please take his advice on that and don't ever allow this cancer into your communities and your voting system either.
