Follow The Money (Ep. 2483)

29:36It's the only way they think they can win elections. That's why this Shirley story, and they have the Nick Shirley problem, because conservatives are done with it. Now, to tie another angle into it, Now, Trump, this guy licks the finger and sees the political wins better than anyone. An unheralded but kick-ass member of his cabinet is Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary. Besson, we'll take a quick break. And after this, sometimes I go a little long. After this, I'm going to play this video of Scott Besson. And the whole Trump administration put this idea together. They probably said, they didn't tell me this.

30:18I'm just surmising based on his instincts. How do we take advantage of this Nick Shirley moment and get a bunch of new journalists, new media journalists out there to help us expose this government fraud? And someone said, I've got an idea. And it's genius. Coming up in a quick second here. Hey, do you know Fast Growing Trees is America's largest and most trusted online nursery? I use them and mine are growing. My trees and shrubs are going great. They have thousands of trees and plants and over 2 million happy customers. The Bongino family is one of them. Paula orders from them all the time. They have all the plants your yard or home needs, including fruit trees, privacy trees, flowering trees, shrubs, and houseplants.

Terms and conditions may apply. Here's what I'm talking about. How Trump is like the best weather vane out there. His instincts to take advantage of this are great. Here's Scott Besson on a rewards program for people out there who expose fraud.

32:14Creating what? An incentive. For the people to police up their own tax dollars. Genius. Check this out. I don't know, Joe, but it's very exciting. I think it's going to be a great way to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse. Starting in Minneapolis, which has been ground zero. So we are encouraging whistleblowers who know about fraud. People are stealing from the American taxpayer to come forward at Treasury. We're setting up a website and we will be giving rewards up to 10 to 30 percent of the fines that we levy. Freaking genius. I'm telling you, this guy's one of the unheralded superstars of the cabinet.

32:57He's constantly thinking of new ways. This would have never, ever. I'm sorry. I just did a bad thing. You know what I did, guys? I didn't complete the thought. He hates when I do that. Okay. This guy is amazing. He sees ahead. He senses a problem and he says, how do we fix this? How do we provide a solution for massive amounts of fraud that are very hard to police, especially if we are not going to get the cooperation of state and local officials who are likely liberal Democrats who love this fraud and want it because it gets people suckling on the government. And he's like, I got an idea, bro.

33:39Let's just put a reward system out there for a bunch of citizen journalists to go out and uncover the fraud themselves. Freaking genius. You say, well, Dan, it's not the genius idea. Well, really? Why hasn't anyone else done it before? Why hasn't anyone else done it? I had a meeting recently. I'm not going to say who would have. I mean, extremely successful guy. Had a meeting to talk about some stuff. I asked the guy, that was the greatest idea ever when you started this company. Incredible company. He said, no, it wasn't. I was just solving a problem. I said, really? If it wasn't a genius idea, why didn't someone else think of it?

34:18And he looked at me and he goes, that's a good point. I said, I understand you're being humble. This is what the Trump administration does different. This is what I was trying to tell you. You know why I don't go on endlessly about all the FBI stuff because I don't want to bore you to death. Great, fine, good. We heard it. I'm telling you, working for this guy, he just wants to solve problems. No administration in the past would have done this. They would have been afraid of the headline. You know what? Here's the headline. Let me give you the headline in advance, the liberal media, so you can laugh when it comes out.

34:49Scott Besson rewards citizen vigilante. Tell me it's not coming. Tell me, fellas, mark it, flag it, red flags in the chat. It is going to happen. You're going to see the headline. And a prior Republican administration would have backed down and been like, oh, my gosh, we can't have this. You know, something could happen. Someone could report fraud. It turns out to be legitimate. OK, it's going to happen. Billion dollar flags in the chat. Flags in the chat. Tear it up. Only you guys can bust up the chat like that. I love that. Thank you. They'd be afraid they would back down. They would back down in a heartbeat the minute they saw that.

35:34Folks, billion-dollar media enterprises get stories wrong once in a while. When you're out there in this space, you have to do your best, but not every single time is a story going to work out. You correct it and you move on. Okay? He gets it better than anyone.

35:56Folks, open borders. Open borders plus the welfare state is the Democrats' only possible solution for sustaining power. That is it. They don't have another option. That is why they are so resolutely focused on Stephen Miller. Do you see the hit pieces coming out this weekend? The Daily Mail had a hit piece out about Stephen Miller, how Stephen Miller is on the outs. It's like their third or fourth piece on Stephen Miller. Why are they so focused on Stephen Miller? Because Stephen Miller has been a hardliner on immigration. I mean that as a compliment. We've had a bunch of softies for years that have opened up the country to an invasion.

36:42They're going after Steve Miller again. Because he's a hardliner on immigration and is committed to shutting the border from the invasion that happened on our southern border. Here's Stephen Moore on CNN talking about how Trump doesn't get any credit for this, but there is a 95 % decrease in illegal immigration. This is why the Democrats are in such absolute paranoia. They need replacements in their blue states from people leaving so they can get electoral college votes and members of Congress in there to impeach President Trump. And they're not getting them as they don't fly through the southern border again.

37:17Check this out. It's putting these people in danger when Democrats say how evil these people are and so on. It's, you know, these are these are the people who reduced illegal immigration by 95 percent. Donald Trump is one of the great triumphs of modern time. And here is the problem running guy this morning. The normal guy running, trying to lose some weight as I come into work and you miss the beginning of the show, struggling out there like that's a normal guy. You can tell from 30 seconds of interaction. OK. The Democrats cannot relate to normal people anymore. So what do they have to do? They have to increasingly pay homage to their fringe that wants the movement to become a movement not centered on ideas, centered on attacking us and getting us out of the way.

38:04That's really important you understand that. Because when you're debating these leftists, they don't care about your ideas. They'll flip on a dime. They care about getting you out of the way. These people are crazy. And the money and the influence, and this is why I don't want our part of the political aisle to become and fall prey to this, is falling prey to an astroturf far left that wants you to believe like the working class, maybe Democrat in West Virginia, who's a bricklayer or a carpenter, believes in men in the women's room. Why is that? Because they cannot get away from lunatics like this.

38:38This is what I mean. We always bring receipts. This is Premier Jayapal, no question a left-wing lunatic. They're back again to this defund the police. Now it's taken a different form. Defund ICE, who are federal police officers. They're agents on behalf of the federal government With law enforcement powers And not only that You think this appeals to running guy? They want reparation Folks, I'm not shitting you, okay? Listen in their own words And in case you think this is a fringe idea I'm going to play another congressman Right after that, Democrat Who says the exact same thing Not only do they want ICE defunded Defund the police They want reparations, your tax dollars Stolen from you To give to illegals Who aren't even in the country legally Listen to yourself We also need offensive actions around prosecutions.

39:27We need real accountability because at the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted. They need to be brought before us and they need to be held account for the trauma that they have created. And we are going to have to have some form of reparation. I can't even believe it. Folks, let me apologize to you in advance. I actually undersold that clip to the teams. You get that? You're like, no, no, Dan, that was right. It's basically like attacking ice and talking about reparations. No, I totally undersold. I sent that clip over on Friday and I watched it in the beginning.

40:04And I, my 100 % apologies. It's even worse. She wants ice locked up for locking up the bad guys. Here it is. I am sorry. I'll have to go to confession with Father Marty. My apologies. I totally screwed that one up even worse I am sorry Pramia Jailapal you were even worse than I said in the beginning of introing that clip my apologies you suck even worse than the suck level I thought the suck level was at before I played the clip that's on me that is a total show screw up Andy's like what did I do you didn't do anything it's just totally on me it's even worse so now we've evolved from let's have ICE reforms and shut down TSA over it so Americans have to sit in long lines at airports to let's defund ICE to now we've evolved to let's lock up ICE and take American taxpayer dollars to give to illegals who were locked up for being here illegally as reparations this is your party bro if you're a Democrat take a bow take a bow this is your party No, it isn't.

41:18Yes, she's a Democrat. Oh, she's a lunatic. No, no, no. Well, yes, but not by Democrat standards. This is not isolated. Here's Democrat Joaquin Castro basically saying the same thing. They really believe this. You vote these people in in the midterms and then the next presidential election. Let me tell you something. You like politics? You're going to get it good and hard. Check this out. I believe that there ought to be a special commission if Democrats take over the House of Representatives or the Senate. There should be a special commission that investigates ISIS legal violations and human rights violations.

42:01But I thought it was just a small pocket of Democrats. No, no, it's not. No, it's not. Folks, they are all like this. Look at their voting records. You have a binary coming up. Someone in the chat was just, who was it? said that someone's thanking me for the uh for bringing up the whole idea of open board this is what Milton Friedman legendary economist god rest his soul wrote you know capitalism and freedom just an amazing guy Friedman's videos I strongly encourage you to watch him if you want to learn even basic things about economics he has always said a country cannot have an open border and a welfare state.

42:41It's like having a bank with no withdrawal policies. Think about what I just said. Well, how's that, Dan? Anybody can just walk in and take money out? Yes. Stephen Miller said it at the beginning of the show that the efforts, the anti-fraud efforts by governments at all level are totally inadequate for the amount of money going out the door. The United States government has become a bank with no withdrawal policies whatsoever. You can't run a freaking country like that. Now do you understand why they so passionately well what does he mean? What do you mean? They want the country to destroy? Yes.

43:15Why they so passionately want that open border again? And they hate the Nick Shirley's of the world and the other citizen journalists out there? Because their whole business model falls apart then. No sane person is voting for Democrat policies like let's lock up ICE for locking up illegals and then pay illegals reparations. No sane person's voting for that. And it's not no true Scotsman. This is real. If you were sane and have an IQ above 62, there's nobody talking like this but freaking absolute lunatics. The opposite of sanity. This is how bad this is for the Democrats. This is John Carl on ABC.

44:03No right-wing guy, folks. This is ABC, okay? Here's John Carl. The clip's a little bit over a minute, but it's worth your time. One of the worst senators in the United States Senate is from Maryland, Chris Van Hollen. I met this guy. I know his staff. When I was running for Congress, he was a congressman in around Montgomery County area. This guy is a loser, unlike Diana Ball. I mean, just a complete life loser zero. Here he is on ABC with John Carl. Again, John Carl, no big conservative commentator. Dude doesn't work for Breitbart. Here he is like, hey, man, just to be clear, ICE is already funded through 2029.

44:46Does everybody get that before I play the clip? ICE is already funded. The big, beautiful bill. They have their money. No, no, Dan, they're not funded. The Democrats said they're shutting down the government over ICE funding. They are not. The Democrats are shutting down the government over an additional supplemental. not the money to fund ICE operations. I want you to understand that. That's not what's happening. So what are they shutting the government down for? Because they want you to hurt. That's why. Here's John Corral. Check this out. You have fought and blocked the funding for the Department of Homeland Security because you object, as you just outlined, to what ICE has been doing.

45:26And you wanted to force changes. And yet, the only thing that has been assured throughout all of this is that ICE already has the money. Because as you said,$75 billion passed in the budget bill last year. So you're holding up the entirety of the Department of Homeland Security because you object to ICE and you want changes to ICE. But through it all, ICE continues to have the money in ICE. John, we're not holding up all of the money for all the Department of Homeland Security. That's just a false statement. We have said repeatedly, repeatedly, we should fund TSA. We should fund FEMA. We should fund the Coast Guard.

46:05We are not prepared to give ICE another$10 billion on top of the monies they already have and are using in many of these lawless operations. We're not going to give them another$10 billion unless they make fundamental reforms, including holding people accountable for the killing of American citizens. And fighting over that additional$10 billion, you are holding up the rest of Department of Homeland Security. We're not holding it up. No, John, we're not holding it up. We have now voted 10 times. But you're holding up unless it doesn't include money for ICE. Folks, they're just bullshitting you.

46:41I don't know any other way to say it, to relay information from my cerebral cortex through the digital interface into yours, other than they're just lying. They are not shutting down the government over ICE funding. ICE is funded. You just heard it from the ABC guy, John Carl, who definitely has no dog in advancing the conservative football. He has no dog in that fight. He's telling Van Hollen, it's about a supplemental. It's nothing to do with day-to-day funding. At all, you're just making this shit up. They want you to hurt. They see your, here's their overall message. You want me to just decipher it for you?

47:21I hope you do. They are agents of chaos. They think they can use their media buddies. If they cause chaos at airports, they falsely put out information that we're getting our asses kicked in Iran. They think they can make the entire country look chaotic and blame it on Donald Trump. But then they're the cause of the chaos. I get it. I understand. They're relying on their media friends and sycophants and ass kissers and bootlickers to blame it on Trump. That's why clips like that are so devastating. you know what i think is really going on why john carl and i don't know i don't know the man but you know why i think they're doing things like this you're seeing this more in left-wing media now about this specific issue what anyone in the chat have any ideas they're doing it because they're getting held up in tsa lines too and they're getting tired of it

48:19you know someone told me about politics once you know sometimes politics you got to make it like bleed a little bit, you know, not bleed like violence, obviously, you know, we're obviously against all that, but it's got to like feel, you got to feel it, it's got to impact your life. The politics are personal, impact your business and then it'll make sense. Reminds me of the rain tax in Maryland when I got a two-term Republican governor in a blue state of Maryland because the Democrats decided it'd be a good idea to tax the rain and they did, how much runoff? It destroyed them for eight years because it hurt so many businesses with flat top roofs, which is like everyone in Maryland.

48:55I remember that. This one hurts. People are standing in line. I think the media is like, hey, man, we're tired of the bullshit. They're not the good guys here, folks. They could have told the truth a long time ago. And most of them are still lying and will. Because they're the anti-anti-communist. But now it's affecting them. And this is the best they can do. This is just an epidemic of stupid breaking out on the left that is dominated by this fringe party that can't relate to jogging guy on the avenue out there. They just can't. Here's this lunatic at the airport. Did you see this? It went viral last week.

49:36Watch these ice guys just laugh at this loser. These are the kind of idiots. I love these morons. These absolute wuss bag, freaking little, I want to say something different. They show up, look, I got a video tape you. Yeah, okay, go ahead. This is how it's going to work out for you. Check this out. You guys are the foot soldiers of a fascist regime, right? Is that not what it is? Is that funny? Is that funny?

50:05Good for you, my friend. Ice agent gentlemen. Laugh in their faces, man. Laugh in their faces. That's exactly what they deserve is mockery. Every time. and again in case you think this is some fringe position here's ilhan omar is this her tiktok account or something look at this ice goes to the airport just let's just rationally lay this out step one step two step three democrats shut down the government claiming it's over ice funding it's not isis funded step two democrats lie media covers for them step three donald trump does everything he can to open up the airports, including emergency funding for TSA, which now I hear the Democrats are suing over.

50:58Suing to keep TSA from getting paid? Yes, correct. And then threaten to lock up ICE and make fun of him as ICE goes to the airports to try and alleviate the security headache at a lot of airports because the Democrats shut down funding for security at airports. Here's Ilhan Omar. They think this is hilarious, ICE at the airports. If you're watching on Apple and Spotify, you got to see the video. This is worth your time. Check this out. We're busy doing nothing, working the whole day through. Trying to find lots of things not to do. We're busy going nowhere, isn't it just a crime? We like to be unhappy, but we never do have the time.

51:43You got the good guys, these ice guys in the airport. and you've got these just absolute losers walking around. Hey, let me film the guy going to the bathroom. People do that. I don't know if you know, like, that's a thing. Just freaking weirdos. This is why they will never relate to running guy out on the avenue. They can't. It is impossible.

52:12Here's a CNN interview with Ed Markey. Back to the defund the police stuff again They see this as a strategic weapon on their side Eliminating ICE to open the border again So much so that this has become almost a unanimous position on the left I'm just showing you this in case you think This is just isolated to one or two lunatics Check this out We're still going to have a big battle over ICE I believe ICE should be defunded I don't think that ICE is any longer capable of existing because it is so corrupt at its core. But we still have to have that debate. There you go. You don't need to hear it from me.

52:52Hear it from them. How do you think this stuff resonates with normal people who don't want their kids killed walking in the streets of Chicago? They don't talk like normal people. You know what does? So remember Brooklyn Chris? I don't know Brooklyn Chris. However, they interviewed him at the airport. He's like, hey, man, I just want the ice. I just want to go on vacation. This is how normal people are, bro. This is how normal people are. They're not talking about defunding the police, locking up ice, you dipshits on the left. Brooklyn Chris is back. Has someone caught up with him and like, hey, man, you're now a viral sensation.

53:34This is just quick, but I don't know this guy. But he cracks me up. Check this out. I started seeing the ICE agents walk, and I was like, they look like they're here to help. If Garthamid something happens. I mean, the last I knew, people were scared to go to airports years ago. The more safety and security, the better. That's just the way I feel. But I don't really care who was there to help. As long as everything goes smooth in the airport and everyone gets on their planes, like, God bless. Running guy outside. That's... I... we have just the heart to heart we had in the beginning. Folks, don't get depressed.

54:17I'm serious, man. If you're on Twitter all day, I have to be there for show prep. And honestly, there's a little bit of FOMO. Like, I don't want to miss anything for the show. But you're on X and you swear to yourself, like, my gosh, like, this is over. Like, everything's falling apart. You know it. You've seen it. Come on. You've seen it. You know exactly what I'm talking about. That is not how 90 % of the world, the United States, let's keep it that, 90 % of U.S. citizens feel right now. On either side, they have complaints about politics in the system. They've got stuff to do to run businesses and things like that.

55:00Now, getting back to my follow the money segment, this is important. I want to cover this as well, because we've been talking about following the money when it comes to fraud and Nick Shirley following the money from people pretending to be inside of our tent who are likely well funded to fracture the MAGA coalition from the inside. But I want you to understand that the model for that comes from the activists far left that's been using the funding of NGOs and others. and this is a delicate issue. I know there's, you got to understand folks, this is a delicate issue because you absolutely have the big R God-given right to assemble and petition your government.

55:40You do. You are allowed to pay for a protest. You're allowed to pay, as long as the protest isn't violent, doesn't break any laws. And I don't think anyone would want to change that. You're allowed free speech in the country as we should be. But we should be candid that this is all AstroTurf paid for bullshit because it speaks to motive. We also have free speech and can expose this bullshit. It's not real. This free Palestine, bring back communism, we love Maduro, save the Iranian mullahs, save the whales. It's all bullshit. it's all bullshit running guy and brooklyn chris are not doing that i don't know brooklyn chris politics i shouldn't bring them in they're not doing that how many videos you need to see on tiktok when they put a microphone or protestors face i saw one this morning there was this uh woman and her and her young daughter who brings their young like eight-year-old to a protest by the way why are you guys protesting the girl's like i don't know i saw something on the internet They don't even know what they're protesting.

56:55This lady, Asura Nomani, she's been doing some really good reporting work. She talks about, I cut this clip kind of short, because the non-government organization network of left-wing donors, if you think these are small amounts of money, oh, look at this, she's on Fox right now, how hilarious. Right now, we could like go to, questions over groups behind No Kings protests. Asura Namani. Here's her clip. Listen to the number at the beginning, the number she's throwing around. How much money is going into this? A couple hundred thousand? Check this out. These 500 groups would get this a$3 billion budget collectively.

57:37And where does their political influence, their political contributions and their individual employee donations go, but mostly to the Democratic Party? And that's why we see the silence. And and unfortunately, they pull their punches on the issues that matter to you, for example, that you just cited, because that would mean turning against the Democratic politicians that they're trying to keep in power. now listen i'm not gonna smoke you up okay when you know left-wing communist drudge report puts out pictures like thousands show up for no kings we can't ignore that paid or not like they are people you can see the pictures yourself they do show up well you say like you know the the left-wing media idiots always say well why can't republicans do that number one we have you see more than that show up at MAGA rallies when Donald Trump is there so that you're one your assertion there is total bullshit but second one of the reasons Republicans pre-Donald Trump have had a hard time gathering enormous groups of people for street activism is because they have a job that's why they work for a living like running guy outside on the avenue they have a job Play that Freedom News TV hat tip.

59:03Here are some of the flags you see at some of these No Kings rallies and other anti-Trump rallies out there. You think any of this is organic? You notice one of them is like a hammer and sickle. It's like the Soviet Union or something. I don't know. I don't know the history manager. Check that. Check this out. World War II Revolution! World War II Revolution! There's always a song. Oh, look at that. Soviet flags a bunch of commies that's right there you really believe running guy and these other people at least that talk like Brooklyn Chris out there you think these are the people at these rallies this is all bullshit these people are selling you pet rocks here's another one here's this young man he's at the one of these rallies, where he goes around asking questions.

59:59And of course, because these people at these rallies are paid straight up thugs who don't believe in your right. Remember, I just said, okay, clear as day because it's true. Leftist or not, you have the big R, God-given right to protest and to assemble. You have all the rights I do. That's the thing about rights. They apply to everyone. However, we have that right too. These freaking goons and well-funded NGO assholes and anti-anti-communists and anti-American assholes, they don't give a damn about your right to show up and cover it. Watch what they do to this young man as he tries to ask just basic questions.

1:00:35They follow him around like a bunch of thugs they are. These are the people you want to vote in the office? I don't think so. Check this out. It's the father. Death to the Zionist entity. Death to America. And death to Dan Zimmerman. So, again, still following me. For peace. For harmony. Peace. For harmony.

1:01:00So why are you guys blocking me? Why are you walking through the crowd? I'm not walking, you're not in the crowd. The crowd is over there, so why don't you go back to the crowd? Again, all blocking me. Not in the crowd. The crowd is over there.

1:01:18Can I do my job as a journalist, please?

1:01:25You got credentials? We have, we have, yes, go to surgemedia.us. Listen to me, okay? You see these thugs? Why are you walking through the crowd? Because I'm a free American citizen, you dipshit. He doesn't even have to be a reporter. That's a public street. Folks, it's all paid for bullshit. it. I am not telling you there are people out there who don't believe this collectivist communist destroy freedom and liberty, advocate for the Soviet communist flag and the principles, air quotes behind it. I'm not telling you that. I'm telling you that the people there who believe in that are a small limited number and the rest are just thugs and jerk offs who have nothing better to do and collect the check from NGOs with hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars of assets who have to pay you to show up.

1:02:22Right-wingers don't do this because they've got freaking jobs. That's why. That's the problem. Problem, air quotes. Now, folks, everywhere this big government system has been tried, it has been an absolute failure. Big government meaning steal people's money through a confiscatory taxation system and hand it out to others. the latest info piece that just came out about red states versus blue states and please do not move to florida if you were a leftist trying to escape a high tax state i'm asking you as you're not friend do not come down here but the latest data has just come out that if you're not a moron you're going to look at this table and be like wow that model big government collectivism really sucks.

1:03:13Everybody's leaving. And I want to play a video for you, this candidate out in LA. Listen, I have no dog in that fight, okay? I don't. LA's in a lot of trouble, but did you see this Spencer Pratt guy? He was in a reality show, which is fine. I have no problem against that, but he's running for mayor out there. Like him or not, he had a great line, a great comeback. I thought it was pretty interesting. So I'll show you that as it relates to these blue cities, red states versus kind of problem, right? Because we're winning, clearly. The data's there. Last break, we'll get back to that. American financing, let's be honest.

1:03:53The cost of living, it's not just high. Sometimes it's exhausting. If you've been leaning on credit cards lately just to cover the basics like groceries, gas, and utility bills, you're essentially paying a survival tax of 20 % interest or more. Who wants that?

Wall Street Journal just put a piece up about this called The High Tax Wealth Flight Continues. It shows amazingly, folks. Liberals are like, I don't get it, man. What's happening? States with the highest taxes continue to lose the most income to other states. You think that's There's a little coincidence They know California lost on net 11.9 billion mostly to Texas Texas Andrew Republican or Democrat state Yes you are correct Republican So California lost to Texas, Nevada and Arizona Blue Purple and Red state Other big losers include New York 9.9 billion Illinois,$6 billion Massachusetts,$4 billion New Jersey,$2.6 billion Maryland,$1.8 billion and Minnesota,$1.5 billion Put up the chart, please for those who are visual learners It looks to me like the adjusted gross income net migration to other states that shockingly a bunch of people are like Hey man, this big government thing sucks so bad that even though I advocate for it because some NGOs pay me I don't actually want to pay for it because it sucks So California, New York Illinois, New Jersey They are losing money And a whole lot of it A fortune To these states Nevada Purple Tennessee Pretty red North Carolina Purple Texas Pretty red And look at that The great state of Florida Very red Cleaning up Now I know Andrew's like giving Hey He's doing like the number one foamy finger guy Stand easy buddy Stand easy On the mustard deck Don't be getting excited because what's going to happen?

1:10:24Here, one more thing. I'm sorry, I don't go on. I just, I have to, here's the problem. Where I live in Florida, it's gotten more conservative. I don't actually, I'm sure they exist, but I don't actually know any huge liberal Democrats and say we're Democrats, but not really super liberal. I don't know them. I'm gonna tell you they don't exist. If you go to a house party or get together or whatever, liberals, everyone's gonna hate you. I'm just telling you. Am I right? Andy, John, Justin You've been here the longest You have, I think so actually He's the young, but he may have been in Florida I don't know, these guys may be I gotta ask him Justin's been here a long time Justin can vouch Everywhere you go, people are gonna hate you You can't even go to church People aren't gonna like you there Right, right?

1:11:09Father Marty giving a homily You don't even You're not gonna like it Just go away Just go away

1:11:21Sorry man, I'm in a mood tonight I had a great weekend Really man It's nothing like Ah, whatever Nothing like Nothing like spending time with your family I don't say whatever You probably heard all that before You want the ultimate life flex? Enjoy some time with your family That's the ultimate flex man Come back refreshed and charged and ready to go I bring up this blue state, red state divide because blue states are dominated by deep blue cities that are even bluer than the state. Folks, New York and Maryland. What do you know about those? Well, I live there. I grew up in New York and I ran for office in Maryland.

1:12:03I've been in Maryland for 12 years. New York and Maryland are deep blue states. I have a large body of experience in. The states are not blue. The cities in the states are blue. Well, the problem is the cities dominate the population, so they make the state blue. But geographically and regionally, the states are not blue. New York, whether you go out to certain parts of Long Island, certainly not all of it, certainly upstate and western New York, you have a lot of pockets of really strong Trump support. In Maryland, you get out of Baltimore, Montgomery County. Yes, they're population centers and, you know, numbers are might.

1:12:42but you go to western maryland you go to the eastern shore carroll county you have really really strong republican groups out there the blue cities are the problem this guy's uh spencer pratt he was up what was you guys know the reality show he was on i remember it growing up was it the hills can folks in the chat help me out did we man we did we just totally smashed that shot today someone in the chat helped me out look for I think it was the hills. I don't really care. I mean, Donald Trump had a real, the hills. Okay, thank you, Chad. You guys are the best. I don't care what this guy did. I really don't.

1:13:21All I care about is the people in charge. He's running for mayor in Los Angeles against Karen Bass, who's a complete freaking lunatic and straight up commie. He's in a debate this weekend and the TV host is like, hey man, you were like a reality star and trying to quietly diminish him. And the hell do you know about politics? his answer here. I'm not telling you support, don't support, I'm just telling you this is really funny stuff. You gotta see yourself check this out. You're known as a reality TV star. Do you think that that is in your campaign for Los Angeles mayor to run the biggest city in California?

1:13:54Is that a label that you embrace? Is that hurtful to your campaign or does it help you think? I mean the reality, pun intended, is that was from 20 years ago and if we look at what Karen Bass was doing 20 years ago. She was in Cuba learning how to make bombs with the people that would then go bomb Capitol Hill. So if we're looking at backgrounds, I'm pretty proud of what I was doing at 20 on reality television, even though I may not have been the most likable character. It was still TV versus trying to destroy America and going to Cuba 20 times and praising Fidel Castro. So against my opponent, my background is pretty strong.

1:14:38he's not wrong he's not wrong he's not he's not wrong Andrew's getting all bold he's like so Guy's going on vacation or something I don't know what he's doing some Star Wars convention or something Guy what are you doing oh he's doing Dungeons and Dragons again so no what is it no it's I'm sorry it's flesh and blood so Guy's like one of the top players in the cosmos he's like aliens and stuff from like uh Project Hail Mary little rocky guy who like respect he's he plays this game flesh and blood he's really good so he's gonna be gone he's taking like six months or something for a sabbatical or something like that so andrew's in charge today that's why i was riffing on him at the beginning of the show it was just a little thing but that's a it's you know listen the show is the show podcasts are different than tv we screw up we make it part of the show so he's getting bold he's running a show like by himself in there i don't know what justin's doing justin's getting a tan or something like that so he's in there by himself and andrew's getting cocky now he's doing air squats he's like opening the door because you know i can't hear them in the studio you know so he's opening the door he's like hey dad hey you believe this you can't be a reality star anymore if you're you know democrats don't like plumbers reality stars donald trump goes to work in a mcdonald's like oh i don't lose it that was a great point andrew good point i'm glad to see you taking some initiative bull by the horns you are you're learning very you're learning fast your curve is good.

1:15:59Very high. But he's right. The Democrats hate you. If you work for a living, you're Brooklyn Chris or someone who talks like Brooklyn Chris or running guy or you work in a McDonald's or you're a plumber or God forbid you had a reality show at some point. By the way, politics, the worst reality show of all. You're just not one of us. The Democrats are saying, yes, we are not one of you. You're correct. That's why we don't want you moving down here to our wealthy red states. Stay where you are with your social media influencers, your cigar smoking, foie gras, bow tie wearing, D-bags at your lobbyist meetings and your Soviet flag rallies.

1:16:43Just stay there. Don't join us. We don't want you. Strength is not numbers in this case. We don't want your numbers. Just stay where you are. Folks, I can't leave you today without immediately dispelling the latest Donald Trump rage bait hoax. We are on version number 3000 of Donald Trump is a racist. As I've said many times before to Guy and others, if Donald Trump is a racist, he's the single worst racist I ever met. historic numbers of black and hispanic voters voting for republicans for the first time donald trump goes into the bronx a bronx a hotbed of liberal activism and everybody was screaming and yelling for him we love trump and all that stuff if he's a racist he really sucks at it that's a good point justin he's like if he's a monarch and a king he sucks at that too he's a terrible king he's like yeah supreme court ruled against me i don't like him but we're gonna follow the worst king ever the worst king ever this guy right this guy there's two things donald trump sucks at being a racist and being a kid he's really bad he's really bad at it here's the latest hoax throw up uh the great maize moore had this tweet i picked out last week it happened last week it's not even getting a lot of steam but because it's just so stupid so pete hagg set the secretary of war who has implemented a strict meritocracy program thank the lord and I'm not using his name as Vane, at the Pentagon, where Merit is going to decide promotions, decided to promote some people and other people to not get promoted.

1:18:25Well, one of those persons who was eligible, I guess, was a black female, which, great. No, who cares? Apparently, the secretary didn't think that was the best person for the job. So, of course, what happens? This is the most anticlimactic ending. They're like, let me guess, Donald Trump's a racist. Yes, yes, he's a racist. anonymous sources Donald Trump didn't want this person promoted because he didn't want he didn't want to stand next to two black officers or something like that oh okay sure folks this is just more like we can't relate to running guy Brooklyn Chris types and others at all so we have to paint Donald Trump as a hater of said group.

1:19:20We're going to put you in unions, black votes, Hispanic votes, immigrant votes, whatever it is. It's just more bullshit. Disregard. The only reason I bring it up is more evidence there that they don't have anything. This is not about an ideas fight, as I said in the beginning. Don't get lost in that. The left doesn't care about gay rights. The left doesn't care about taxes. The left is bitching out about salt that benefited rich people. the salt limitation the left is bitching about it wait i thought you didn't want rich people to benefit from tax cuts they were the ones who wanted it they're all full of shit all right folks thanks again for tuning in really appreciate it can't thank you enough for last week what a banger of a week hayley coming up at noon vince coming up at eight uh if you wouldn't mind please go to rumble.com slash bongino on the web or download the rumble app it's a great app Download the app Follow our show It is free Join us in the chat room Every day at 10 a.m.
