Get Out! (Ep. 2519)

27:33Now, you can pout on X for your community notes all you want. Rage out. Clearly, the amount of Fs I give is zero, or I wouldn't keep talking about it. if I cared and gave even a single F about what you losers trying to infiltrate our moment, that slob Barnes and embarrassed that other goofball. If anyone cared about what you're saying, you guys would actually win something. You're screaming in a void. Today it'll be, Epstein! Trump's a pedophile! They don't have anything else. Nothing's happening. And then we roll out results like this. Just put that tweet up. Nothing's happening. Maybe nothing's happening.

28:21And we roll out results like this and you just ignore it. Thanks to DC reporter, historic results, 20 % drop in the national homicide rate, 112 % increase in violent crime arrests. 31 % more fentanyl seized, 30 % more child abusers off the American streets. I thought people cared about that stuff. Results have been so unbelievable. The New York Post even put up a piece about it. Like, hey, man, it kind of sounds like stuff is happening. But I thought these slobs, these GOP-1 test cases can't get others. They tell you nothing's happening. And suckers fall for it. FBI announces U.S. violent crime rate plummeted by the fastest rate in nearly 90 years.

28:59The changes are working. I thought there were no changes. I thought nothing was happening.

29:06And by the way, for all the haters out there, again, rage out, mother. Rage out. but it could crash out rage out papa's annex i don't even know what you need to do but we're doing just great man we're doing just fine this article up in fidelity yesterday about podcasts and podcast rankers top podcast by average weekly downloads look at a number three i know that guy damn bongino show even our network was still it was number three whatever self-praise things i'm just telling you all your bullshit about uh shows for some asshole on X was like, hey, Grok, how's Dan Bongino's views? I retweeted it.

29:44There was like, Grok was like, yeah, man, they're doing really great. I actually retweeted it with a little salute. Sorry. Just love to hear out. You watch. We'll get you tomorrow. You said that yesterday and the day before. You're living in a series of tomorrows except for living in the today that matter. You know what? Read that Oprah Winfrey Eckhart Toll book she promoted, The Power and Now. Maybe try living in today. We'll get you tomorrow. Maybe we'll send one of our losers over there. That's just the stuff we got to deal with every day. All because we have this simple idea like maybe we should vote on issues and stop playing victim politics like the left and trying to blame our problems on the Jews or anyone else.

30:26And that applies to anyone. Oh, this was great. Yeah, someone's like, hey, Grock, tell us how Dan Bongino's show is crashing out. Grock was like, okay, Dan Bongino's viewership has been consistently strong in conservative media.

30:41i retweeted strong return relaunched on rumble exclusive hit three on triton rumble channel now 3.64 million followers recent episodes pull 500 000 views quickly overall trend dipped during the government break well of course it dipped that wasn't here but quick rebound the top tier numbers thanks guy i'm surprised that guy didn't delete his tweet douche all right i'm gonna take a quick break. There's a lot more to talk about. Yesterday was a big day. Huge endorsement coming out of Texas, too. I'm going to tell you what it means. And I'm going to contrast it with what happened with Mark Cuban.

31:16Mark Cuban endorsed Kamala Harris. But Cuban has this free market oriented, you know, drug sale company where they're looking at. And Trump said, hey, man, those values align with me, too. I'm looking to lower the price of health care. You can't tell me he demands loyalty and then watch what happened yesterday. But he is also sensitive to the base. And I think that's Trump, spread siege Trump, how he understands. He doesn't get emotional about things. He doesn't. He's an emotional guy, but he's not get emotional about decisions. And that's what I want. I don't need any more flowery speeches. I don't care that he speaks discursively.

31:50I care about results. Show you what I mean coming up in a second. Hey, here's a question. How many brokers does it take to ensure your business? Here's the answer. A lot right now.

You can argue with all you want. You can crash out, rage out. The bottom line is results matter, okay? How are we going to do in the midterms, ladies and gentlemen? I don't know how we're going to do in the midterms. Presidents typically don't do well incumbent presidents with their party in the midterms.

33:30That's just a historical fact. How are we going to do? I can't predict the future, but I am going to tell you this. We're going to go in with a team that doesn't stab each other and knife each other in the back and blame people for their problem. That's not the team we're going in to play this game with. Sorry. It's a big endorsement day yesterday. President endorsed. And folks, when this came out, a lot of people, there was an announcement. I've always kind of told people, if you're in the content creation space or you have a services industry. The best thing to do about an announcement, even a product industry, is to make an announcement about the announcement.

34:05That way you get two bites at the apple, right? Donald Trump did this yesterday. President Trump said earlier in the day, we're going to be making a big announcement about the Texas Senate race. Everybody thought it was going to be Cornyn. Everyone. A couple of friends of mine were like, man, I can't believe he's going to go for Cornyn. Well, that didn't happen. He endorsed Ken Paxton because President Trump is not emotional about this stuff. He's a spreadsheets guy. The base and the energy was largely behind Ken Paxton. So don't tell me he's not responsive to people in the base either. That's bullshit.

34:38Where do you think this endorsement came from? Every freaking institutionalist in D.C. wanted him to endorse Kornett. So regardless of where you stand on this race, there's been a lot of attacks. You know, the Wall Street Journal was really pissed about this yesterday, you know, implying that like Paxton was like a weak statewide candidate. Paxton's won multiple statewide races. I don't know what you're talking about. Here was Ken Paxton on with Andrew Colvett, who now hosts the Charlie Kirk show, talking about exactly this fact. Colvett asked him about this. Hey, man, there's some bullshit out there that you can't win statewide.

35:13He's like, what evidence do you have to back that up? The receipts actually matter? They do to me. Check this out. Let's just call out the elephant in the room here, Ken. You've got people in the party, in the establishment, especially in D.C., that say you can't win a general, you can't win a race, you're too conservative, you're too America first, you're too MAGA, you can't win against Tal Rico, right? What's your response to that? Well, the first thing is they told Donald Trump the same thing, right, that he couldn't win. They've told me that for three, I've run in three general elections in Texas, that means the entire state had to vote, and in each of those with little money i outperformed what everybody expected me to do i competed equally with uh other republicans that had a hundred times of the money that i had i get outspent by a lot of money and yet i've always performed better than these naysayers talk about there's no polling that suggests that what they're saying is true

36:14oh i missed it someone said in the chat they're talking about graham platt their nazi tattoo guy up in Maine. They said, flogging the dolphin in a porta potty. Nasty. Yes, very nasty. Disgusting. We don't belong with these people. That obviously does not apply to Ken Paxson. He's a good candidate. He's a good candidate. Listen, every candidate's got pluses and minuses. I understand there's always going to be baggage there. However, you're telling me Tallarico on the other side doesn't have baggage? Remember that thing? No. Quartz. Good job, Quartz. We are going to go in to this team fight, team Democrat versus team Republican with the team we want and need, not a bunch of saboteurs.

36:58We're not doing it. Ken Paxton was largely the choice of the base and now you see it. All I'm asking people is don't get emotional about this stuff. Don't get emotional. No matter what happened in Kentucky 4, I'm never going to tell you vote for the Democrat over the Republican. I'm not. I'm not going to tell you that. I've said that a thousand times. Been on the air a long time. Don't do a lot of, And I love how everybody keeps with their bullshit. Oh, we're sitting it out. We're going to let the communists win. That's not going to happen, man. Okay? And if it does happen, that's your issue. You're the one who chose that.

37:32You're the voters. It is consent to the governor. You chose communists and your kid's future to be flushed down the toilet. This is like the hundredth primary like this we've been through. Where everybody, you make a political choice, there's a counterparty that's going to be pissed off. Don't get in the political business if you don't want to take a stance. It's like getting in the sports commentator business and you're friends with the quarterback and you don't want to criticize the quarterback. Just get out of the business. Folks, don't let TDS take over your life. Trump derangement syndrome is a very real thing.

38:04If you missed yesterday's show, the interview at the end with Jonathan Alpert, he's a psychotherapist. He was on for about 20 minutes. He was talking about his new book, Therapy Nation, how he gets these people in his psychotherapy practice who just cannot divorce these liberals. their political life and their personal life. They are so infected with the TDS virus that this just unimaginable rage comes out. This is a real thing. RFK was on a podcast talking about this yesterday, how people in his own family. Ladies and gentlemen, it's okay to make a political decision that's not popular in your family or your community and still have friends.

38:39It's okay. Let's not emulate the crazy TDS libs and make our entire lives about a political decision. Check this out. President said the other day that Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing, and I believe that it is. I've seen it in my own family. I've seen how people put politics ahead of family, ahead of their core values, and I've seen it in my friendships. I've lost a lot of friendships, probably 90 % of them, and people who I loved and trusted and who I thought would take a bullet for me, calling me on the phone or approaching me and saying, I cannot be your friend anymore. And it's because of the political choices you've made.

39:26And it just seems like a warped worldview. So I don't know how you get through that, how you unravel an orthodoxy. I know it's been done in history before, but it's really an interesting anthropological phenomenon. Ladies and gentlemen, please don't fall in love with speeches or candidates. Fall in love with results and you will never go wrong. Your compass will always point true north. Hat tip, Alex Marlow, from that interview with RFK. Imagine losing members of your own family because they disagree with a political outcome. By the way, you don't need those family members. I'm really sorry to tell you that.

40:07You want to hear Dan Bongino's unpopular opinion? If you have so-called friends that think so little of you that they don't like the fact that you voted for President Trump, they were not your friends to begin with. They were just going to sell you out anyway. You don't need those people in your life. Fall in love with results. Don't fall in love with candidates. When you fall in love with results, you will not get overly emotional about every changing of the political winds. He was President Trump yesterday. Again, the guy's just, he's a builder and a transactional dealmaker. Yesterday, he's out there trying to lower drug prices to a free market solution with a guy who endorsed his opponent because he understands the need to produce results and not start crying and pissing in your diaper every time your chosen guy doesn't win.

41:00Here he is yesterday talking about the construction project at the White House Which, by the way, people have spoken about in the Secret Service and Wham-O, the White House military office For years, for years I don't even want to get into it on the show because I don't want to give anybody any ideas But there were a lot of security concerns at the White House It was built a really long time ago It was not built for modern threats It was not built for drone attacks The president's like, we're just going to do it So here he is talking about it yesterday This is the transactional business, guy. We need no more bullshit and all this speeches and stuff.

41:33Just do it. Check this out. All of this was paid for by myself. And because I keep hearing like, I'm not, we are making a gift of this one. This is a gift. This is not going to be paid for by the taxpayer. We have a judge that thinks it's a terrible thing that we're making a gift. He said, it's terrible that we're making a gift that should be paid for by the taxpayer. That's what I've never heard before. I'm sure maybe, I don't know, maybe he doesn't understand. This is a gift to the United States of America. And more than a gift, it's going to be one of the most beautiful buildings that's ever been built in the country or in Washington, D.C.

42:10Now, why would I play this clip right before the clip I'm about to play? I'll play. Excuse me. Because the show is about results. Notice over President Trump's shoulder. And if you had your ears open there, you can hear the sound of construction cranes. You can hear the sounds of construction going on in the back. Stuff is getting done. He's at the construction site saying, look what we did. Reminds me of Tom Cruise in Kessler. Look what we have created when he's got the fire and the palm frond or whatever. Look, this is what he he's actually doing stuff. Compare and contrast that because we've got a race in November that's going to be a dogfight in the midterms with our alternatives.

42:55The at least nominal head right now of the Democrat Party is Gavin Newsom, probably the worst governor in the country based on results. I want you to watch a clip of an interview he gives yesterday. This is the left summed up. You got Donald Trump finally doing something people have talked about for years, building this national treasure that was needed for security reasons and everything else around the White House. After all the talk, construction cranes moving. Here's Gavin Newsom basically admitting that we're not even about winning arguments anymore. He's basically telling you what I told you.

43:28They are all about emotion, licking their fingers, seeing when they get people riled up and the winds are changing. They don't give a shit about results. California has an epidemic of horrible results on homelessness, on crime, on the economy, on California state debt, on the bond market over there. It's terrible. Education, all of it. So he basically says, I'm done arguing. basically implies like we're just going to go for the emotion and like the tyranny type stuff instead check this out we have to win it's all on the line you just got to win it i'm stunned winning arguments with all due respect to the niceties it feels good but we're going to lose our republic again the honey fathers did not live and die for this moment i can't celebrate jaylai fourth the best of roman republic and greek democracy co-equal branches co-equal branches of government, you know, popular sovereignty, the rule of law, not a time where it's the rule of Don.

44:29He's basically forfeited the argument in advance. The prelude to the entire movie is don't bother watching the movie. We don't really care. Here, it's on Fox right now. Newsom urges Dem Party to fight fire with fire. What fire? What are you talking about? What, are you going to burn the White House down? Does it take the War of 1812? right now, look at that here was Hakeem Jeffries yesterday it looks like he was at the same conference too that was that's so funny, it's all Fox right now too Hakeem Jeffries going fully Von Drago remember Rocky IV, I must break you this is the party this is why we have to get our shit together get all organized here get out, 10-10-10 before the midterm elections email 10 people, make 10 social media posts and call 10 people, it is an easy thing to ask.

45:21We cannot lose a vast majority. So are we going to lose a few? We are. It's very difficult in midterms. However, don't do not forfeit this race in advance. The doomers and the black pillars who want to destroy our party lost big last night. Don't let them win. Here's Hakeem Jeffries yesterday going full Drago Rocky IV. This is what you're dealing with in November. Check this out. Either MAGA extremists are going to break the country or we're going to break them. And our goal is to break them. We will defeat them. We have to beat them electorally. And then we have to break their spirit because of the extremism that's being unleashed on the American people.

46:01That's completely and totally unacceptable. Notice they don't produce any specifics or results they disagree with. It's purely nonsense, bullshit, hyperbolic rhetoric meant to get their party all riled up. And then some of their people go and start shooting places up. Folks, we got a real fight on our hands. Yesterday's over. It's time to move on. I'm glad it ended the way it did because that's not our party and a statement had to be made. And believe me, it was made. But it is time to move on and to focus on what matters in November is critical right now. We are going to go into this game and we are going to play with the team we want, not these guys that come in and, again, piss all over the locker room.

46:45We're not doing that. and where are they getting all this from why are these crazy sick yvonne drago like ideas that this is the end of the world it's the manichaean end of times if we you know if we don't defeat donald trump in the midterms they're getting this from you know cultural little icons to them and academia telling you donald trump's a fascist and all this other stuff how many people are there too it's tony 250 in the chat sounds like it right as i clap this is what you hear like a little golf clap from someone you don't know that actor that guy Sebastian Stan from the Marvel movies he plays um it's that character Bucky yeah Winter Soldier guy or something he's doing this Donald Trump movie and he's out there I want you to listen again to this like the tone and the rhetoric that these people buy into that the psychotherapist on the show yesterday was talking about as to why these TDS infected liberals come in their office and think it's the end of times because that's all anybody tells them.

47:42Hollywood, academia, their little circle of Karen friends. Check this out. It's just not a laughing matter, to be honest. It isn't. You know, it's, I think we're in a really, really bad place. I really do. And to be honest with you, it's like, when you're looking at what's happening, right, which is, if we're talking about the consolidation of the media, censorship, the threats, the supposed lawsuits that seemingly never end but don't actually go anywhere. You know, the writing was on the wall. We encountered all that with the movie, you know, to the point where we were three days before the festival, unsure if the movie was going to play at the festival.

48:29So, you know, it's maybe people are paying attention more to that film. I think it will stand the test of time for that. But we went through all of it right before Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and so on, you know. Now, I want to do a compare and contrast because the foil matters. Ladies and gentlemen, campaigns are snapshots and soundbites and contrast. Please do not think anything else. Look at the Spencer Pratt campaign, other campaigns. People are not voting on white papers. They aren't. They're busy. They've got kids' little league games to go to, volleyball games, whatever. They don't have time to read a 6 ,000-page manifesto on marginal tax policies.

49:16They just don't have the time. It's not that they're not interested. They don't have the time. Campaigns are short pictures, images, snapshots, and soundbites. Short clips, that's all it is. Those snapshots and soundbites Should create a contrast Here is why I'm good Here's why my opponent's bad That is what a campaign should be Very simple Do not overcomplicate it It's a binary I play that clip about this deep Dark end of the world Manichaean talk by the left all the time It's over What are you talking about There's never been a better time to be alive More prosperous time to be alive Than to live in America right now What are you even talking about Tell that to the American warriors Who fought in the trenches of World War I Oh my gosh such a terrible time to be alive Now really Really Tell people how to deal with the threat In the Cuban Missile Crisis Of a Russian nuclear missile Hitting the United States When it was real Over that course of a little over a week Tell them, like, oh, this is the worst time to be alive.

50:30I'll be out of here with that shit. Here's J.D. Vance yesterday. He was getting crushed in. Our bench is deep. Our bench is deep. Here's Vice President Vance yesterday, sat in for Caroline Levitt, who's still out on maternity leave. And at the end, he's asked a question about religion and faith. Listen to the way our people talk, Rubio, Vance, President Trump, about how great the United States is. And the other side, the Winter Soldier cat, Gavin Newsom. We don't have to argue anymore. F that. Hakeem Jevies goes full of Andre. I will break you. Then you got this. He thinks he's in a movie. Sebastian Stan forgot he's in a movie.

51:04He's talking in real life. Listen to the way J.D. Vance talks about religion. Our bench is deep. Their bench is full of little mini authoritarians. Check this out. The principle of religious violence is particularly disgusting, especially in the United States of America. And as a devout Christian, I would say it's one of the most anti-Christian things and anti-American things that you could do. And here's why. One, because a fundamental principle of all the great faiths is we are all children of God. And because of that, we are endowed by certain rights that are unique to our status as human beings.

51:41You violate those rights, most importantly, when you commit violence against another person. You can violate them in other ways as well. But the most profound way to violate the fundamental right of human dignity is to commit violence. But here's why the religious piece of it is particularly egregious. One of the fundamental American rights that I think came from our Christian heritage as a civilization is the idea that we respect people's religious freedom in part because we respect them as human beings, but also because we respect their right to find their own pathway to God. You can't force anybody to a pathway to God.

52:16They have to, through their own free will, find God themselves. That's one of the reasons why that right of religious freedom is the very first right enshrined in our Constitution. The vice president, you guys see like an index card in front of him or like a teleprompter? No, because he talks like a normal person who believes in the cause of America, just like Rubio did. In contrast to Newsom, we don't need to win arguments anymore. Eff it. We're done.

52:47Folks, I got a lot more show here for you, too. I'm going to switch gears a little bit right now because campaigning, as I said, is about creating the contrast I just painted for you. Here's J.D. Vance talking about the, you know, the glories of freedom and freedom of religion, the ability to worship, the horrors of religious violence. And then you've got these other goofballs. I'm going to break you, all this other shit.

53:10Contrast. How do we do it? We do it online. And the reason the Republican Party has been succeeding is because there is an army of folks out there who understand how to use social media and elsewhere. Folks, rage bots do not win campaigns. real people, real ads. That's how it works. Now, we've been promoting the show for a long time. You know, Kevin O 'Leary, Mr. Wonderful, if you were involved in an activist campaign, content creation, there's this thing out there called clipping. We use it. Other shows use it. It's just a way to market your show. If you're not marketing your show, you're losing.

53:47You clip segments of the show to create soundbites and snapshots because some people, some people just don't have the time to watch the entire you know hour and a half two hour podcast sometimes they just don't matter of fact i read an article that the most popular podcast in the world joe rogan that a lot of people just consume his show and tiktok in in bits here's kevin o 'leary on the value of this now i play this here because if you're in political organizing too we saw last night rage bots don't work rage bots calling people pedophiles and all this other stuff. It's a zero. You're going to lose fake community notes.

54:24You're going to get your ass handed to you. Put some time into real quality clips and content development, and you'll be able to measure the metric on the output side, whether it's votes or whether it's business success. Listen to this. It's an important clip if you're in business or in politics. Check this out. I think the job that gets you the most money now is if you have talents in social media for customer acquisition. I used to pay those guys 48 grand a year, and now they're 250 ,000 because you can measure their work based on customer acquisition every week. So most of them become contractors.

54:55You know, they make half a million dollars a year because they know how to take content, turn it into a 59 second ad on social and acquire 200 customers. That's a very specific. So remember, everybody would say, you have to be an engineer, an engineer, an engineer. Now you want to be an artist. Again, write stories, acquire customers, know how the social media platforms work, know how to post on TikTok versus LinkedIn versus Twitter versus Instagram. Those people in their early 20s are so valuable now. So if you know how to use your phone, somebody wants to hire you. Snapshots and soundbites, folks, create a contrast.

55:35It works in business too. Why pick my product, my pet rock over this team's pet rock? Why? One of the things I was told early on that was really helpful for me early on in doing the show is that the left is better at creating an emotional response to their political arguments because a lot of their people who are donors, you know, are in spaces that require creativity. A lot of them are artists. A lot of them are Hollywood people. It requires ingenuity and creativity. A lot of folks who are on the Republican side are, you know, high operating leveraged businesses in the petrochemical space. It's not really about marketing.

56:09It's more about like efficiencies in business. So a lot of them aren't as creative. We have to get creative. This younger generation of people, which I said in the beginning of the show, we can't forfeit. We're going to need them for their creativity online. Don't forfeit that argument and don't sell them short that the only way out is selling them like, oh, this group of people really did horrible stuff. You should blame them. That's leftist bullshit. And one of the movements I'm really proud that has taken hold inside the Republican MAGA tent is the Maha Movement, the Make America Healthy Again Movement.

56:38Ladies and gentlemen, it's not just about physical health. It's about spiritual health. Do you see this news report? You're seeing this just rejuvenation of spirituality in the United States. And I'm seeing a lot of younger folks too. If you go on Instagram, you see tons of these, Jasmine got me into this, these religious, I don't want to call it even gospel music, but religious oriented music. You see like hundreds and thousands of these kids singing along. There's been a spiritual revival in the United States. That's part of this Maha movement too. Not everything is your physical health. You got to see this story I saw out in Florida, out in Hannah Park, a mass baptism on the beach.

57:13I've seen this on college campuses too. It's amazing. Even at Auburn, check this out. More than 2 ,000 people baptized during the Church of 1122's annual beach baptism at Hannah Park. Take a look. This video shows the thousands of people from across the first coast that took part in the major event. The church tells us around 2 ,500 people were baptized. I love to see that. I love to see that. You're not beyond saving, folks. I am not your preacher. I am not your moral compass. I can't say that enough. However, I can proudly say that if I'm not beyond saving, you're not beyond saving. There is a spiritual revival going on inside this Maha movement, too.

57:59these younger folks don't sell them short just give them another option don't teach them to learn to be helpless give them it out and they'll take it the maha movement is strong i like these little maha moments you got our little maha moment thing i know you guys are very proud of this here's another one coming up for you know i'm obsessed with these health hacks this is a good one. Check this out.

58:27Freezing bread before toasting, pass or keep? Oh, that's a keep for sure. Why? When you freeze bread, there is a process that happens in the starch. So the starch is the one that really spikes your blood sugar. It's called starch retro degradation. That means that the starch starts change into something called resistant starch. What is resistant starch? food for our gut bacteria, acts like fiber, and lowers the glycemic impact. So leave your bread in the freezer, essentially. And then when you want to toast it like you would usually toast it. You can do that with bagels. You can do that with bread.

59:01You can even do the overnight refrigerating thing. You could do that with pasta, with potatoes, with rice. Really? So pasta, potatoes, rice, freezer? That goes in the refrigerator. The bread goes in the refrigerator. Folks, this trick 100 % works. It is the easiest thing ever. Yes, you may have to cook the food the day before, but you're going to cook it anyway, so who cares? Make a big pot of white rice, if that's what you eat. Stick it in the freezer. The reheating process makes it really resistant, harder to digest. You eat up a lot of the calories in the digestion process. This totally works.

59:34Paul and I do this all the time. Bread in the freezer. Easiest trick ever. Maha moment of the day. That's what I'm here for. I love me some life hacks because I'm 51 years old. I don't have any shortcuts anymore. Everything's got to be tough for me now. That one's an easy one, however. It works, I promise you. All right, I got Vince Kolan Ace coming up in a minute. We're going to talk Paxton. We're going to talk the Massey Victory. We're going to talk TDS. We got a whole bunch to discuss. You know we love Vince.

1:01:19Welcoming back to the show for his biweekly appearance, the great Vince Colonese dominates the mornings on live streaming. 8 a.m. Eastern Time, rumble.com slash Vince had another huge audience today. Congratulations on all the success of Vince. So last night, another set of resounding victories for President Trump in his primary endorsements. The big headline race, obviously, Congressman Tom Massey losing his primary by 10 points. However, it wasn't just that. There were a number of Trump candidates and runoffs that did well in runoffs in Georgia. The Georgia Supreme Court race went well. You had a number of big, you had obviously the Cassidy loss.

1:02:00This is clearly a Republican Party moving in the more MAGA direction now.

1:02:04Dan Bongino:No question at all. President Trump had a huge night. I think one count Fox had was something like 30 races that all went Trump's direction or are now headed to runoffs with Trump's favorite guy in the lead, which is great. And it's a clear sign that President Trump and his agenda has a tremendous amount of momentum. I'd say the three things, at least that I was highlighting this morning in my notes, of course, the Thomas Massey race, a resounding defeat for Thomas Massey. I could talk about that a little bit more with you in a moment. Then I look at Andy Barr winning in Kentucky to become the guy who's going to replace Mitch McConnell.

1:02:37Dan Bongino:We're looking for a change of pace from Mitch McConnell, a dramatic one. And Mitch McConnell's been in that seat for a billion years. And, you know, Nate Morris was in that race for a while. A great candidate. Charlie Kirk had endorsed him. Wonderful. President Trump said, hey, would you do me a favor, Nate? Will you jump out of this race? I'll give you an ambassadorship. But what we want is somebody to really clean up here. I think Andy Barr can do it. Nate Morris does the endorsement of Andy Barr as well. And this guy just sails through, dominates Daniel Cameron, which is great. And if this ends up being what President Trump is promising, a massive break from the Mitch McConnell era, which will dramatically improve the United States Senate.

1:03:16Dan Bongino:And then finally, just another smaller race, but an important one in Georgia, Brad Raffensperger just got thrown out of the governor's race and ending a saga of drama where Raffensperger was just really a gigantic pain in the ass, I think, as President Trump was rightly raising all sorts of concerns about election fraud in 2020. I think what we've seen is the end of Raffensperger's time in politics. So yeah, tremendous amount of energy for the president's picks yesterday. Vince, in your time observing politics, I mean, we're in the police, it's not a sports show, it's a politics show. Have you ever seen an endorsement carry this much weight?

1:03:54I mean, I know I don't want to put you on the spot. I bet if you thought about maybe someone comes in second or third. I haven't seen even a close second. I mean, I remember when Sarah Palin was at the peak of her popularity post McCain. That endorsement got some attention. I don't know if it carried the tactical winning weight. I'm pretty sure it didn't. But it definitely carried with it some earned media cachet. But I've never seen anything like this where, you know, his endorsement, even when you factor out cases where maybe there was an endorsement with the guy was favorite and favorite in advance.

1:04:28Yeah. I mean, even like the Ron DeSantis gubernatorial, the original gubernatorial, you know, he was behind a bit and Trump comes in and, and endorses them and boom. I mean, his endorsement is just the gold standard.

1:04:41Dan Bongino:I totally agree. And I don't think we've ever seen anything like it. And in fact, the prospect of a Trump endorsement gets political candidates to actually change their views to something that matches what Americans actually want. And I'll give you an example of it. It's John Cornyn. We just saw this huge endorsement yesterday for Ken Paxton that we could dive into a little bit. But I just just to comment on this particular question, when President Trump withholds his endorsement from both Cornyn and Paxton earlier this year, and Cornyn's like, what the hell? I wanted the endorsement. Cornyn instantly starts coming out and going, I'm for the Save America Act.

1:05:16Dan Bongino:I'm for getting rid of the filibuster. I'm for doing the standing filibuster, whatever it takes. Suddenly, the guy is singing from our hymnal. He's singing from This base is him, though. Like, I'm all for those things. And the reason for that is because of how desperate he is for that Trump endorsement, because he does know that it carries tremendous weight. President Trump's voters take him very seriously. They keep voting for him. They've now voted for him three times for president of the United States, and that coalition's only grown. And there is an awareness, including among a corrupt establishment, that, look, if President Trump endorses against you, things are not going to go well for your future.

1:05:52That's a great point, though, how it's not. That's how powerful it is. And folks, this is this is just an objective statement that's factual. His endorsement moves the political needle. Well, you can call it an opinion all you want, but the numbers back it up. But it's a great point you made that even the non endorsement in a race or the hint of an endorsement is enough to move the tactical needle. There was one thing I saw last night about the Massey race. And I saw a number of people who are, you know, I think on my side in this, I was not a Massey fan, as I said earlier in the show, for a number of reasons.

1:06:29However, a couple of folks said, well, listen, young voters really liked Massey. And I say, you know, I absolutely capitulate that point. There are a lot of young voters who are going in this direction. However, I am not willing to capitulate to folks out there that this new, you know, anti-Semitic strain of the party and this endless focus on the Jews and elsewhere is like the key issue we need to attract young voters. I'm not capitulating it. Young voters are very smart. I just got off a call not that long ago on a business deal. I'm working with a 26 year old young man who just absolutely like astounded me.

1:07:06I couldn't believe how smart this guy was. They're very young. I think the issue we're having now is that younger voters with, you know, the generational problem with housing costs and things like that and inflation, they feel kind of left out of the market. They're worried about AI. It's up to us to come up for solutions. We shouldn't just ignore that because that is accurate. There is an appeal for people who are disgruntled and upset that feel like they've been left behind, who are looking for an outlet.

1:07:31Dan Bongino:Yeah, there's I think there's a lot of components to this. One is that young people rightly distrust a lot of the institutions that are supposed to have been serving us for years. We've seen institutions betray us over and over and over again. You'd have to be an idiot to like to instantly trust any of these major institutions. You have to be. And I think young people are very wise to that. They deserve I think young people deserve more credit than they probably get for their wisdom on that subject. The other piece is like, look, fundamentally, any voters paying attention to what's happening in the United States of America is obsessed with this concept of how do we take care of our country first?

1:08:04Dan Bongino:And so what is what spills out of that? Concern about what our foreign entanglements look like. You know what? George Washington, from the very beginning of our country, was warning about messy foreign entanglements and not doing anything that comes at our expense. As a result, yes, there's conversations about places like Ukraine, Israel, NATO, that clearly I think can and should happen in a very healthy way. It's like, OK, is there anything that's coming at our expense? That's definitely happening out there. Some people take it too far. Some people go downright, as you point out, anti-Semitic garbage, just utter garbage.

1:08:35Dan Bongino:But real healthy debate, that's perfectly fine. My my thing about Thomas Massey, the thing that drove me crazy here about Massey. Massey's a guy who I like that he was obsessed with the national debt. He has a little debt clock on his pocket. MIT engineer. Guy's living off the grid. Kind of something kind of charming about all that. But then he comes along and he joins Blue Anon. Like he's feeding, he's breathing life into conspiracy theories about President Trump. He did a press conference, Dan, in the fall of last year where there's people standing behind him holding up signs that say Donald Trump's a pedophile.

1:09:08Dan Bongino:And I'm looking at that going, what the hell is that? There's nothing healthy, productive, useful about that. All that's doing is breathing life into the very lunacy that has led now to multiple assassination attempts against President Trump. How about we just stop that garbage? And so I think when you start seeing that, I thought the writing was on the wall for Massey to be thrown out. The voters in Kentucky just did it. You're right. I think there are generational things that Republicans would do well to pay attention to. But don't for a moment, don't just reject the young people and their and their political sentiments and say, oh, they're a lost cause.

1:09:42Dan Bongino:That's how you lose as a political party. You have to take them seriously. And if they're getting their grievances wrong, you have to tell them why you have a better take. And we got listen, we have got to fight back against this. This stuff, the conservative and Republican movement has been the party of civil liberties for generations. It's just an objective fact. And we're never that's the treehouse rules, man. You know, this is like it's like a club. It's a party. You know, you don't have to be here, but we're never going to change our values just for the sake of a few votes if it means tossing our morality out the window and out of the treehouse.

1:10:14We're not doing it. You know, that reminds me, though, I had a guest on yesterday, John Alpert, has a book out called Therapy Nation. He's a psychotherapist. He has a lot of patients. And he was talking about how a lot of these liberal patients come in and they just can't divorce their political life from their personal life. They internalize this TDS, this Trump derangement syndrome. He's like, damn, it's a very real thing. And that's what leads to what you just said, this explosion in violence. And that's why I'd covered early in the show some of this rhetoric by Hakeem Jeffries and others about, you know, we're going to break you guys.

1:10:45Like everything's a Manichaean end of the world fight. You know, obviously the Nazi fascist rhetoric, Trump's a pedophile, all this crazy nonsense. You have to understand, like you're talking to a group of people, Vince, that don't have the coping mechanisms. people like you and I. You and I live this stuff every day. If there was anyone whose life was going to be destroyed by politics that don't go their way, it should be us. It's like you and I are like the owners of like the Yankees and they lose the World Series or so. We should be the ones so upset we're lashing out all over the place. Yet I think conservatives due to faith, family, and their faith in communities there, they have that release valve that sadly not all, but a lot of liberals just don't have.

1:11:27Dan Bongino:You know, I think there are a couple elements to why you have this kind of emotional control. I think part of this is just like one belief in God, like a sense of the eternal realizing that it's not all about this life, that this is not an end all be all. I'm not God and I'm living according to his plan or I hope I do. I try to. So that's one that calms me down a bit from thinking everything is some sort of existential crisis. Another is I'm a husband and I'm a father. If I was being a psychopath all the time, my family would fall apart. My prime, one of my primary jobs in my household is I'm an emotional mitigator.

1:12:03Dan Bongino:I'm here to calm down the chaos. I'm here to bring some stability to the room. I'm trained by virtue of my relationships to just be like, all right, let's settle down. Let's figure out what the hell's going on. That's kind of the thing. And this is actually why I think marriage and fatherhood is very good for men. Not only is it just great to have this in your life, it improves you. It improves you dramatically. And it's sad to see, you know, you see, like, I made some judgments, some snap judgments this week about, you know, those women who were standing on the steps of City Hall, rooting on Luigi Mangione, assassinating the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

1:12:38Dan Bongino:It was so sick. And of course, Mambani gave them press passes to do it. Like, yeah, sure, go out there and tell people how it's great to assassinate people. But I instantly made some judgments about their personal lives. They're sad. They're alone. They don't have real parenting in their life. They've got some sort of daddy issues. Like there's something psychologically missing for these people. And they're filling it with this chaos as they're standing on the steps rooting on the destruction of our society. Like I think normal people with skin in the game who have children to look after, who have families to care for, who have something worth preserving, they're not like this.

1:13:15Dan Bongino:Like normal people, they're not interested in advancing chaos. They want order because they'd like to leave a wonderful world to their children. I just it is it is sad to see what's happening. But I, Dan, I continue to hold out hope that we can change it. This is why I fight for election integrity and why I say so often to pray for your country, because I do think that the power of prayer really can lead people away from that madness. You know, I hope so. One of my favorite books, Andrew Wilkow loves it, too. It's a revolt against the masses. It's just a fantastic book by Fred Siegel. I think he passed a couple of years ago, was it?

1:13:49But it's an amazing book. And it's basically a chapter by chapter story of the left's history of admiring the European aristocracy and the paternalism that comes along with being a progressive communist socialist. This idea that there are levels of freedom and the great unwashed without the government, daddy government will fall apart. You know, conservatives think the opposite. It's conservative. Conservatives feel like there's the creator is endowed upon all of us, all of us in inalienable rights. It's in our founding documents. And I think that's where a lot of this victimhood comes from. I even saw that Will.i.am was on Bill Maher and was talking about how people in like the Congo, they look for a different level of freedom.

1:14:32Like, no, no, no, they don't. Like, there's universal values of freedom. And I think that's where a lot of this, you know, violence and victimhood comes from. Because they feel that way, their daddy is government, that they don't need a family. Like, they don't need to have kids. You know, reproductive care means abortion to them, not actually loving a child. And that's where I think you get this rage and anger, just to harp on your point. Having said that, while we're on the topic is Will.I.Am. I played a clip yesterday of a red carpet at a movie, a bunch of Hollywood goofball celebrities. Honestly, I'd never heard of them.

1:15:02I'm not playing games. I just didn't know who they were. I got to see more movies, I guess. Talking about the evils of capitalism. And this is the kind of stuff that appeals to young people, but not the same people like you and I. Because all you have to do is ask a simple question. What component of capitalism are you renouncing right now? Is it the private property component? Is it the price component? Would you rather rationing? What part are you renouncing? And they just can't answer the question.

1:15:28Dan Bongino:I totally agree. And the irony, of course, is that usually the thing that they hate is corruption. Usually if you really boil it down to like what's the thing that's actually hurting the country, it's like cronyism, corruption. It's where the government interferes with the market. And that's the thing they don't realize. This is why I'm constantly asked about – by conservative parents about their kids. They're like, how do I tell my kid that Trump's not evil? Trump's not evil. and I, because sometimes, although more and more young people like Trump these days, but it has been in the past that a lot of young people are just being trained, propagandized into believing this.

1:16:06And I say, look, right now they're skeptical of Trump.

1:16:09Dan Bongino:They see him as a powerful person and they think he's corrupt, whatever it is that they think about him. You're not going to convince them right away to love Trump. You can't, you might not be able to do that ever, but just ask them to widen the lens. Just set their sights on all of these institutions and figure out to what extent are they corrupt? To what extent is this company in bed with government at our expense? To what extent are we being hurt by these other big power centers? That's, I think, you should cultivate this skepticism in young people. But this idea that you would attack capitalism fundamentally, there's no economic system is going to be perfect.

1:16:45Dan Bongino:The best one we've found so far is capitalism. Capitalism has been the absolute best for lifting people out of poverty, for keeping people alive, for helping them to endure the elements, for bringing people to levels of wealth of all skin colors that have never been before seen in world history. Capitalism is the best damn system for lifting people out of that. And the people who are attacking it are just doing it merely for the power purposes, specifically of the Democrat Party. And we have to call that out for what it is. Yeah, you can't get emotional about this. You have to look at the spreadsheets.

1:17:21I say to people all the time, don't get emotional about candidates, get emotional about results. And once you start to look at it through that lens, that aperture, you'll see this beautiful vista out there, that freedom of markets, which is all capitalism is, all that it produces. I'll end with this one because I know it's something you had discussed on the 8 a.m. show. Check them out every day. Rumble.com slash Vince 0800 Eastern Time live with a video on demand anytime. Ken Paxton, obviously a hot, hot Senate race running against communist James Tallarico. Paxton, huge endorsement. He's running against incumbent John Cornyn yesterday.

1:17:58I don't think a lot of folks saw that coming. I think a lot of people thought when there was an announcement yesterday, there was gonna be an announcement about endorsement. I saw it all over Twitter. I can't believe Trump's gonna go for Cornyn. And then, man, he throws like the knuckleball, not even the curveball, endorses Paxton, obviously carries a lot of weight in that race. It's not a fait accompli yet. However, as we addressed earlier, it's a very powerful endorsement. You know, I contrast it with the Massey race because a lot of people who are angry about Massey losing, like, well, you have to, Trump demands total loyalty.

1:18:35Well, that's just total bullshit. He does not demand loyalty. He was on stage yesterday with Mark Cuban because he's trying to lower drug prices and he feels like he's got a partner. But I think he also understands the feelings of the base. I think that's what happened with the Paxton endorsement. The base is very strongly behind Ken Paxton. So it kind of was like a compare and contrast yesterday.

1:18:54Dan Bongino:OK, so there's a lot in here. And all of us, anyone who thinks about President Trump, you psychoanalyze him a lot. I think it's just we all do it. We're like, what is he? What is he thinking? What is he doing? How is he operating? But here's one of the conclusions I've made through the years. Two points on what you just said. One, Donald Trump believes in human potential more than almost anybody I've ever seen in American politics, and he never gets credit for this. And here's why I say this, because even to this very day, as much as he attacks like the fake news media, the enemy of the American people, the New York Times, he still calls Maggie Haberman like every week to talk to her.

1:19:28Dan Bongino:Now, why does he do that? The answer is because he believes in the end he can win her over. He still believes in the end that he can win over some of his worst enemies. and that they will join him in his fight for this country. So in a way, as much as he's demonized as a guy, he's like, he's a dictator, he's treating everybody like crap. Actually, he more so than almost anybody in American politics believes in the potential of even his enemies to finally come to his side. So that's why you see Mark Cuban standing next to him on stage. The other is that Donald Trump appreciates the feedback loop that he gets from his base.

1:20:03Dan Bongino:He listens. President Trump takes input. You know this as a guy who's worked closer with him than most of the people who are listening to you right now. You've seen him up close. He takes feedback. He asks for feedback. He wants to know what people think about what he's up to. I'm reminded, if you go back in time, when he was standing on a rally stage and he started to use the phrase drain the swamp for the first time to refer to Washington, D.C. That was not his phrase. Somebody else on his campaign came up with drain the swamp. And he didn't think much of it. He thought it was, eh, I don't really like it.

1:20:35Dan Bongino:It's all right. It's all right. Whatever. But he used it on stage. And the reason I know this is because he literally told this story on a rally stage. And he said once he saw the audience reaction, that they loved the expression drain the swamp, he was all in. He's like, well, the bass loves it. The people love it. I'm doing it. And so he started doing it over and over and over again. This Ken Paxton, John Cornyn thing that we just witnessed is one of the most amazing political sequences that you and I will ever see. President Trump was on the verge, according to all public reporting, of endorsing John Cornyn.

1:21:05Dan Bongino:That was in all the media outlets. He's about to do it. He's about to do it. That was earlier this year. And when that news story came out, the base rebelled. They went crazy. They were all over Truth Social telling the president of the United States, don't do this. Endorse John Paxton. Ken Paxton, excuse me. Don't endorse Cornyn. Cornyn's establishment. He's going to sabotage you. You need your agenda passed. It was it was ubiquitous. Everybody was saying go for Paxton. The president he did this. And then Paxton pulled off one of the most miraculous rabbits out of the hat that I've ever seen.

1:21:39Dan Bongino:He posted on X the following. He said, I am willing to drop out of this race if the Senate passes the Save America Act. That's the circumstance. When he did that, it changed the ballgame because President Trump saw that and went, damn, that's who I want in the Senate. So he withheld his endorsement until yesterday. We have a week left in this big Senate race. And the president came flying in and gave that endorsement to Ken Paxton and said, look, John Cornyn's a good guy, but he hasn't been there when I needed him. Cornyn paid lip service to the Save America Act in these final weeks, but that's not good enough.

1:22:13Dan Bongino:And for the base, it's definitely not good enough because we can smell it. President Trump can smell it too. Cornyn's an establishment guy. They were trying to protect him. Tim Scott, John Soon, they were begging President Trump, please endorse Cornyn. He didn't listen to him. He listened to his base and he endorsed Ken Paxton. And I think it's to our betterment as a country. It's going to be great. Ken Paxton's won a bunch of races already in Texas. He's won statewide races twice. So he's going to be great. I played a clip about that earlier in the show and I got to run, but I find that to be a really disingenuous criticism.

1:22:44The Wall Street Journal op-ed section lost their mind last night about this saying how basically hinting that cornyn was like a shoe-in and paxton didn't have a good chance of winning paxton's won statewide and when donald trump is endorsing in a state race where he realizes there are practicalities a a blue if not purple state he's been very practical and like i get it i have to win and this person may not be the most diehard maga person he's done that before this is texas though and he has faith in texas voters that this guy's won a couple times he's definitely the more conservative candidate.

1:23:19So I find that that criticism to be just ridiculous.

1:23:22Dan Bongino:How could he be more electable? Cornyn couldn't even win 50 percent of the vote in the primary. He's the incumbent Republican senator. He couldn't get 50 percent. So how is he more electable? That's a cover. That's you know, that's a cover from the establishment. They had one of their guys. They can work him. And now they're losing him. And so they're trying to come up with some creative cover for why he would have been better. It's a lie. It's a lie. Yeah, that's right. Paxton, again, has won a couple of times. It's not like he has no experience winning statewide in Texas. Vince Colonese, the king of mornings on live streaming.
