In short
Dan Bongino argues that “peak crazy” has been reached as media and online activists invent “fake main character” narratives to avoid facing real-world facts. He ties this to the Lindsey Clancy trial, where he claims the facts are not disputed and people are instead blaming others (e.g., “space aliens,” medication, husbands, etc.). He also contrasts this with immigration enforcement and border policy, saying “first contact” with reality exposes leftist claims as false.
Guests
No named guests appear in the transcript. Mentions include “Justin” (co-host/producer) and references to public figures (e.g., Caitlin Bennett, Ann Hathaway, DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, Marcus Coleman, Caleb Hammer, Camille Foster, Jameel Hill), but they are not guests in this episode.
Key claims
- People with “empty lives” need a “raison d’etre,” so they write conspiracies/comic-book hero stories.
- In the Clancy case, he insists the children’s deaths are established and blame should not be redirected.
- Leftist arguments collapse under “first contact” with real evidence.
Notable examples
- A Fox News report: a 56-year-old arrested for juror intimidation after the Clancy trial.
- Viral “hero” framing of Clancy in street interviews (Bongino cites Caitlin Bennett).
- A “Turkey plane” media clip Bongino mocks as performative heroism.
- Immigration example: “Operation Rotten Apple” (ICE/CBP) removing 2,000 illegal immigrants in NYC; Bongino links it to crime reductions.

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:02All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. You know, I wouldn't say I live in like a sleepy small town. It would be kind of dramatic, you know. I hate that stuff when people like over-dramatize their live stories and they become like, they have this like, you're going to see this theme throughout the show today. They develop this fake main character energy, you know, where they feel like they're writing a comic book about themselves and they're the hero, yet they're writing it. Everything they write is total BS. You know that? You see this phenomenon?
0:40However, I live in like kind of a mid to small size town. Everybody in America loves it. You know, I wish the liberals would stop moving here personally. But whenever it's top small towns in America, we're always there. and the people voting it down, correct, Justin, or the people who live here. They're like, don't come here. Crime is out of control, right? There's like, there's a radiation leak in the center of town. You're all going to die. People just make stuff up because they don't want anyone coming here. The only reason I bring it up is the town's been taken over because famous golfer, you know, Tiger Woods.
1:15Who doesn't know Tiger Woods? He's like the, you know, equivalent of Michael Jordan, the name ID in sports. He was in the courthouse, not very far from where we are. And like the whole town's been taken over. But the Tiger Woods, it's a DUI case. I'm sorry. It's like, don't, you know, whatever happens, he pleads or not, pleads or not. Like, whatever, man. The whole town's been like taken over. I bring that up because people do this all the time. I was going to say they do do this, but you never want to put two do's back to back for obvious reasons. People do this all the time. And I'm not talking about the amazing participants in the live chat and the Bongino Army folks.
1:58I was out of my daughter's volleyball game last night. Young lady comes up to me, coach for the other team. It's like, oh my gosh, my mom loves you. And I was like, I love your mom. I've never met her, but I'm sure she's great. I'm like, you want me to do a video for her on the phone? Like, I love you guys. You guys are the best. This is the best audience around. You've been so loyal to me. I love you. But there are people on the outside who have meaningless lives. Folks, they do They have meaningless lives Maybe they don't have kids Maybe they have kids and don't like them Maybe they're in a relationship they hate They just have meaningless lives You've seen this phenomenon So they start to write their own comic book They have to write their reason I'm going to talk about this in a minute In relationship to the Clancy trial In relationship to a couple videos I'm going to show you of people just like inventing causes that don't exist.
2:50Because I'm telling you like the real world is not what you see on X. It's not. I see it. I see both sides. I have 7.4 million followers there. Nobody sees it. We're one of the most followed accounts in the world. I see, I can sniff an AstroTurf bot army a thousand miles away. It's just a matter of math. You see it. I'll show you what I mean with this fake main character energy thing coming up I want to talk about it in relationship to this Clancy trial I've never seen a case of this as bad as this in my life The facts are not in dispute at all about what happened Boy, it drives me freaking crazy Folks, Labor Day sales save 25 % in your entire order When you add any biohacking product and use code BONGINO25 at checkout Where do you get the biohacking products?
3:39Allfamilypharmacy.com slash BONGINO Go today Prescription provided if appropriate. Thanks, All Family Pharmacy. Today's show also brought to you by a company I use. I love. Paula uses it.

They love faith. They love family. They love freedom. And they're not even shy about it at all. So many brands today claim to stand for American values, but they really don't. Most of the time, it's all fake. Patriot Mobile is 100 % different.
4:10They love the country. They're a great company. Product's amazing. For more than 12 years, they've been living the values and standing in the gap for Americans who believe this country's worth fighting for. Business was founded on a simple conviction.

Today, Patriot Mobile is one of America's only Christian conservative wireless providers, offering higher priority nationwide service on any of the three major U.S. networks with unlimited data plans, free international calling to over 200 countries, and a 100 % U.S.-based customer support team.
4:41The service is fantastic. It's top notch. I love that they love America too, but if the service was no good, I wouldn't tell you. It's amazing. Every year, Patriot Mobile contributes millions of dollars to organizations defending everything we love, life, liberty, sanctity of life, Second Amendment, America's future.

5:16That's 972-PATRIOT. Make the switch today. Thank you, Patriot Mobile. We appreciate it. They're a great company. Folks, let's get to it. I almost forgot the bell by myself. I know. That was almost on me. Like Justin gave us a double bell the other day. He got all excited about the bell. He was like, calm down, brother. Calm down. I call for the bell. I ain't a producer and all. I do the bell. Folks, you know what the term raison d 'etre means? Throw it up on the screen because this is super important you understand this. I promise you, like, the empty lives of liberals, commies, and socialists, and a lot of these people who are showing up at the Clancy trial trying to make a hero out of this woman, it all goes back to this one term.
6:01And I'm not, this is not an SAT prep course. I'm not trying to expand your already fantastic vocabulary, but this is a valuable term. Raison d 'etre is a French phrase that literally means reason for being. It's used to describe the fundamental purpose, existence, or justification of a person, organization, object, or idea. I bring this up because most of you out there in the Bongino army of listeners who we love and adore, you have lives that matter to you. You have kids. You have jobs. You have a mom and dad you care about. You've got baseball games for your kids. Your kids are prepping to go to school.
6:42Maybe your kids are prepping to try to get into law school. Like this stuff is your raison d 'etre. You are the main character in your own story because the story is your raison d 'etre. I am a dad. I am a mom. My goal in life is to get my kid oriented on path right over path wrong when there's a fork in the road. Like you don't need external validators for your life. You don't need it. Your very reason for being, being a parent, being a business owner, being a baseball coach, like that's your thing. Your job, your family, your faith. Folks, there are a lot of people out there. And some of them I really do have sympathy for.
7:23I don't mean to sound like a jerk here. They don't have anything to really live for. they have these empty vacuum lives that have to be filled with some raison d 'etre so they have to go and make it up they want it they feel like they're living in a netflix movie it reminds you know here we go we're gonna go i totally out of order now i'm screwing up the whole show perfect timing for this unintended i was gonna play this at the end most of the people you see in the mainstream media and people out there i'm sorry i don't care if i'm defending your delicate sensibilities at all. I have zero sympathy whatsoever for this Clancy land.
8:02I don't want to hear it. Don't kill your kids. I don't want to hear it. This is not the show if you're going to tell me 10 ,000 reasons why this is okay. It's not okay. Dan Bongino, this guy, what has two thumbs and doesn't give a damn? This dude right here. I don't care. Don't kill your kids. Like, I'm pretty good with that. Jasmine, you okay with that? She's giving me, yeah, I think that's a good idea. the liberal media do this too they know nothing they're really stupid they were journalism majors because they can't do math or science or engineering or anything for that matter so they wind up in j school they see themselves as like the woodward and bernstein you know deep throat nixon people like they're all heroes in a story they wrote the catch is they're not they're just a bunch of life losers living in a vacuum who have to invent the story where they're the main character you're not this is not a joke everybody thought this was ai yesterday it isn't folks the turkey plane so dan i cannot believe it andy said i cannot believe we're talking about this again i'm not i'm not they will not let it go i was gonna put this at the end of the show because i hate start with there i'm sorry if i gotta watch this you do too there is this is not a joke there There is a Netflix show coming out about the heroes in the media who took a plane flight home from Turkey.
9:31Justin's like, there's more. Sure. No. But there was a threat to President Trump. Yeah, exactly. And nothing happened. But the media who live these empty, vacuum-like lives have to tell a story about how they're the main character in this heroic tale because they don't have anything else. This is a real promo for a story about the heroes, air quotes in the media, who took a plane flight home from Turkey and landed.
10:04On a runway, on an actual runway. There were wheels down. Here it is. This is real. Check this out. As we get on the tarmac and we round and I look at Air Force One, I see those catering vehicles up against the side of Air Force One. There's one at the front and one at the back. And I have never seen that before. Forty years. Doing president's never seen that before. I shot it. I shot the shit out of me.
10:43We get out. I may be the first or second person out of the bus. The president's already up the stairs. Trump enters the plane. We rush in. We sit down. We get on the plane. Don't really think anything more of it. The second unusual thing happens. We're told by the White House staff that we should lower our window shades. I'm like, why? why? They said, secret service says to like, okay. Close it. My little spidey sense is up now. I don't know why this is happening. And I'm on high alert.
11:28Dude, you have no idea dudes and ladies out there. Hilarity is now broken out in the control room out here. Every, even though we've seen this already, we're laughing again. You see these guys? They're writing the comic book in live time. They're even using Spidey sense. That's an actual word. I took a picture and I shot out of it. You shot a picture of a catering truck. Get Mudley's in the chat right now. If I don't see this chat meltdown, I'm not doing live streaming anymore because there's no purpose. Mudley's in the chat immediately. I never give orders. I'm only a member of this Bongino army I'm a soldier like you I'm now taking four star general status in the army just for a moment Mudley's tear it up tear it up tear up don't let it stop let the public see the power of the chat to mock you freaking idiots I shot the I took a picture and then I and yes I hustled onto the plane oh my gosh you hustled onto the plane my spidey sense folks the mean what the do you believe this this isn't even jasmine's like she isn't laughing anything this is look at this chat chris from rumble if this chat melts i'm telling you right now thank my audience you can fix the glitch later i can't believe this thing is still going nobody media people do you realize everybody's laughing at you no everyone this is not a no true Scotsman.
12:59Look at the chat. Nobody thinks you're cool. Nobody's reading your stupid comment. I shot a picture. I ran up the stairs. I sat down. He's like, I sat down. You sat down? No way. Here, let me sit down. Here's an act of heroism. You hustle up the stairs. Here we go. Watch this, folks. What a hero. Dan Bongino. superhero spidey sense you believe these freaking clowns folks this is not a joke look at this chat is still going how have we not melted this thing yet good job chris at rumble you must have reinforced it folks i can't take it anymore i shot them even jim's laughing producer jim for the radio show jim i gotta record this again later for the radio show i'm sorry i gotta do this So it's still going.
13:58Nobody respects you idiots. This is what I'm talking about. Fake main character. And you know, these kids have all these cool, mogging main character. I don't pretend to be 18 again. I'm 51. I'm old and crusty and falling apart. But this is fake main character. I'm sorry. These idiots. I shot the hell of it. I sat down. I hustled up the stairs and you landed in the United States. You complete life loser. I'm sorry you have no life and that Netflix agreed to these insta docs the heroic decoy plane you're not the decoy plane nobody cares about you even the people who wanted to kill President Trump don't care about you they cared about the president oh my gosh folks this is going to be an epic show so if you tune out I'm sorry but it's going to be on you because you can't miss this this is everywhere it's everywhere you've got freaking only fan stars showing up at trials like look at what i found i've been conducting my own investigation and i found space aliens did it but he's like no really that's crazy bro do you have any evidence of that no are you an investigator no but i did OnlyFans.
15:17Like, that's a thing. This is happening. Can you imagine having such an empty life that you're following an OnlyFans star who's telling you space aliens? This is a thing. I am really sorry you have nothing in your life going on. Go sell lemonade on the corner and meet some people. They say touch grass, fly in the grass. You do some grounding. Let some electrons like pass into your body or something. I don't know what to tell you, man. Find a raison d 'etre other than stupidity.
15:52Yes, 100%. Folks in the chat, yes or no? Does that go into, at the end of the year, we do our top 10 clips of the year? Is that a nominee? I think we got to put that as a strong contender. Media people, life losers, conspiracy lunatics. That's why I wrote a tweet about this yesterday i put up on x i said folks the tide is completely turning because i live in the real world i see thousands of people a month when i go out they come up to me i'm telling nobody talks like this this is an x phenomenon with a few idiots writing a comic book where they're the main character except the whole story is laughably stupid you sound like these liberal media people I saw this When I was a young agent With the secret service doing my job I don't know When you get out there Nobody gives you any responsibility Because you're just like hey go watch that door for a little bit It's like any job in law enforcement You're not going to go out and run like a major homicide investigation Two weeks out of the academy They're like watch this door So you just shut your mouth and watch the door When you were a young agent You learned from day one when you were a protection agent and the guy behind that door, the only thing stopping someone from killing him is you and at that time you're SIG, they have Glocks now.
17:13You learn to never crap the bed. You're told that from day one. They should freaking write it in the Secret Service manual, although they couldn't. You're taught from day one, never panic. Why? Because folks, there are a lot of young agents who were school teachers and elsewhere. That's a great career. I'm not knocking it, but they've never been in like a gunfight or anything, obviously. A lot of them are cops and military, but some of them aren't. And you would see it, people coming from professional careers, finance or elsewhere, that had never been in a life or death situation, that the first time things break bad, they crapped the bed.
17:51It happened at this event. I'm not going to use anybody's name. Obviously, I'll leave the details out because I don't even want to. But there was this young agent I knew quite well, and there was this event going on, and a car backfired. And the young agent like skins the smoke wagon, freaking lasers the whole crowd. Everybody down! It was like, what the hell are you doing with a car backfire? But they thought it was really cool, the agent. And I'm not using like pronouns, I'm just trying. Thought it was really cool. Like, oh my gosh, I like saved the day. You didn't save the day. You crapped the bed.
18:23Do not crap the bed. My last job, when I was working for you guys at the FBI, You have no idea how many people. Justin, remember when I came back, I told you it's the door knock. Someone come in. Oh, hey, boss, we need to talk right now. One, you need to calm down. Whatever. He was my first question every time. Every time. Is anyone dead? No. Is anyone going to be dead in the next 10 seconds? No. So whatever you're going to say, dial your blood pressure down. Calm down. Tone. Woo. Because it's 8 in the morning, and whatever you're going to tell me, my brain ain't working for your screaming. that's why you're seeing the crash outs now the crash outs are everywhere because all the people who crapped the bed right in the comic book thinking this was cool breaking news we got them now look what i discovered the space aliens did it are now being humiliated all of them i wrote down a few you you doubt me look this stuff up the crash out continues as shows like this continue continue to kick ass and take names because we're not crapping the bed here we're not falling in every npc rut for every stupid story that comes out breaking you see in online meltdowns just go on x today with the crash out crew of conspiracy nuts the meltdowns are epic as like facts come out in court where people have to actually swear to them and they don't get to write the story about the space aliens because they'd all be locked up for perjury is that true well i kind of made that up man i want to say that in court online meltdowns you're seeing conspiracy stories imploding in real time you're seeing defamation suits now piling up like actual defamation suits where people are like okay you have a a theory you wrote a comic book about what happened you willing to back that up in court on the road?
20:24Bob will. No, no, no. Because ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you've heard any lawyers in the chat. What is the best defense against the defamation suit? Lawyers know the answer to this. The truth. If it's true, there's no defamation. So why wouldn't you be willing to go in there and defend the truth? Oh, maybe because you don't know it's true.
20:48The defamation suits are piling up. Again, you can look all this stuff up. You don't have to take my word for it. You want to be on the side producing court-ready, swearable documentation, or you want to be on the side of defamation suits people are trying to get out of and desperate to get dropped. Which side do you want to be on? Or do you want to be on OnlyFans' side? Lies are being exposed in live time. Careers are starting to end as audiences start to shrink. And the cleanup has begun. So I asked you yesterday, have we seen Pete crazy? I think we have. I'm not telling you we haven't seen crazy.
21:28A lot of this stuff is going to slowly, it's hit an asymptote and it's going to start going in the other direction now. Folks, I've been in this business well over 10 years. Activist, candidate, TV, podcast, radio. Don't please, if you're one of these haters, you can talk crap about me all you want. Do not lecture me on what this looks like when conspiracy crap gets crazy. I've been through it. I've seen every cycle. Unless you have the truth to back it up, good, smart people always find out in the end you're full of crap. And they leave. They just do. You're seeing careers implode right before your eyes.
22:03People who just could have told the truth and chose not to. People are waking up. The correction is going right now. I see it. but you still see stuff like this from people who they crap the bed they have no lives at all they need a cause and their cause is either oh my gosh i was a hero took a plane ride and sat down and took a picture and they write a comic book out of my spidey sense is going or you see some people with this lindsey clancy thing like inventing narratives as to why they're heroically defending this poor innocent woman. This is their raison d 'etre. There are three murdered children.
22:54If I were to tell you a story about three murdered puppies who were strangled to death, many of you in the fake main character energy, I need a raison d 'etre crowd, would probably be like, oh my gosh, that's horrible. A death penalty. But when it comes to living, breathing young children, it's categorically different. Here, I just want to show you what I'm, you know what? I'm going to show you because I want to just go with this. Let me just take a quick breather. I think I need it because that was a, right? Wouldn't you agree? That was like, I want to show you a video right after this quick break.
23:32I'm going to show you exactly what I mean. and be proud that you have kids, a job, a career, a mom and a dad, a community, a church, an organization, a charity. Be happy that your raison d 'etre is you and your comic book is real. And you don't need fake main character energy because you are the main character in a consequential life. Be proud of yourself that you don't have to do this. go find meaning in like somehow a murder like oh i'm gonna go find that all right folks i'm gonna tell you about something i started using before a night out works for me it's called zbiotics pre-alcohol for me it's about enjoying a night out with friends uh you know having some social lubricants having a few adult beverages and still being ready for everything i have planned the next day that's why it's become part of my routine i tried it i really liked it Pre-alcohol is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic drink created by PhD scientists.

I pray to Jesus every night to be a better man the next day, always. But thank him. Just thank him that you are not one of these people. Here is a Fox News story about some crazy person who chased down the jurors at the Lindsay Clancy trial. Apparently, like, screaming at them or something. Like, you did what?
25:49You can read the story yourself. Check this out. Massachusetts State Police confirms to Fox that a 56-year-old was arrested after court was dismissed today here at the courthouse for witness juror intimidation or intimidating someone in connection with a criminal proceeding. It is possible that either side could ask for a mistrial over this. We'll have more details tomorrow. That person expected to be arraigned here in the morning. Folks, I'm growing increasingly furious about this case, and you should be too. Can we just establish some basic principles here? Number one, the facts of the case are not in dispute.
26:33Do we all agree? Nobody is disputing these three young innocent children were killed by the mom. No one's disputing that, correct? so why would you be looking for someone other than the person in the factual matter of the case who did the act to blame now i get it i understand i've said to you over and over again the movie a few good men i gotta tell you colonel jessup like i'm not really after i've watched that movie a hundred times i'm not really that angry at colonel jessup anymore however he shouldn't ordered the code red but should have handled a little different but him being on that wall that That part.
27:15People get angry at Colonel Jessup. I'm just telling you, man, here's the thing about that movie you need to take away. Forget the Colonel Jessup, you know, you want me on that wall. You need me on the wall. There's a scene in that movie you need to see where Tom Cruise, the lawyer, says, listen, court's not about guilt or innocence. It's about finding someone to blame. Folks, that's largely true. There's no question of guilt or innocence. People are looking for someone to blame. So people with empty lives are starting to fill in this thing. Like it was the psychiatrist. It was the medication.
27:50It was the husband. It was of the Martians. It was the Saturnians from Saturn. It was space aliens. Folks, that does not, none of that changes the facts of the case about what happened. There are thousands, if not millions of people with similar problems who don't do the act that's not in dispute. they're looking to blame anyone other than the person who did the act. Now I bring this up because this is a byproduct of people with, I'm telling you, vacuums for a soul, who have nothing going on, who need a cause, and have just latched on to this case so much so, you see crazy acts like that Fox News report chasing down and harassing jurors.
28:36Liberals do this all the time. they search for someone to blame with no regard for guilt or innocence about their own problems they need someone to blame anyone other than the person looking back at them in the mirror anyone if you were a failure in your life because you decided to get into drugs you decided to not go to work the fault is yours there are a thousand other people who have your same sob story nobody wants to hear it. Nobody cares about your sob story. My dad was mean to me. Great. Sorry. Sorry. Are you going to figure it out? You're going to go back to work? No, I need Mom Dami to support me through a government course.
29:23Get off your ass. The person of blame is looking at you in the mirror. The facts are not in dispute. The second you acknowledge you failed, you'll get off your ass and try to not fail. Oh, you went. I wrote a whole book about this. I'm not shy about it at all. What do you think? I've led a perfect life. I've screwed up stuff over and over again. It catches I got up and looked at the guy in the mirror and said, what did you do wrong? How do you fix it? It's my favorite book. Liberals do this. They never get to the point where they blame themselves. This is how you get these empty lives. Folks, I told you yesterday we're winning on the messaging front, but we're losing with a lot of younger folks.
30:07That's how you wind up with clips like this. This is Caitlin Bennett, who we love on the show. She does these man on the street interviews. Here she is talking to a bunch of women at the Clancy trial who have amazingly written a comic book where this woman is somehow the hero, despite none of the facts being in dispute at all. This is what it looks like when you have an empty, completely empty life devoid of a raison d 'etre. Check this out. Do you stand with her, yes or no? I don't think she did it. Yes. We feel she's very sleep deprived. Her job as a labor and delivery nurse working night shifts and three children is a lot.
30:42Do you have children? Yes. Would you ever hurt them? Yes and no. As a mom or as a dad, I think that you are not perfect. So what are the consequences she should face for this? Obviously, she's already in a wheelchair. He should go to jail for negligence. He was, he needs to take care of his kids and that was his responsibility. Is this any of your girlfriends? Mine. This is your girlfriend? I think you have to do some reflection on that. I just have seen a little bit on TikTok of the case. I'm watching it on TikTok or like the live streams. Where are you getting your news that the defense might not be getting theirs?
Read the full transcript
31:18I don't, but I. What did you say? TikTok.
31:25i'm i'm listen i i i'm taking a celebratory lap on messaging against socialism we're doing quite well i've got some evidence of that i also have to be reasonable with you and tell you we are not doing well amongst younger folks and we are doing very bad amongst younger women who on tiktok are starting to figure out that because you heard it yourself the caitlin bennett interview had tipped to her that the justification and the blame remember the facts are not in dispute the justification and blame for this is this she worked the system she worked long hours i work long hours everyone worked long hours i've never come home going how do i strangle my kids
32:08folks
32:12we have to do better with younger folks we've got to somehow break through this is where they're getting their news now little tiktok clips where they write their own comic books with fake main character energy where the hero is this woman
32:28you see this same message pollution with liberals everywhere where they say the most ridiculous things that will never stand up to first contact. If you're a listener to the show, you know what I mean. If your idea is so defensible, in other words, that because she worked long hours, it's somehow excusable to strangle your kids. Then I ask you this, if there was a video camera, if there was a video camera playing the actual strangulation of innocent children and you were forced to watch it would you look away why why would you look away i asked the same thing about abortion if you support late-term abortion dismembering fully formed lives and children in the womb tearing them to pieces in the womb why don't why do you look away does it survive first contact your stupid idea with the real world the answer almost every time with these liberal idiots is no if you were forced to watch the strangulation these kids would you turn away i don't want to watch it why don't you want to watch i thought it was excusable it was an act of mercy or something oh where does that come from i want you to watch this crazy clip from again leftists who have to find some raison d 'etre mine is a abortion you know killing kids in the womb that's your thing no it's about rights it's about it's like they missed out on the the suffragettes so they feel like they've got to recreate a movement that's already won so they fabricate a cause men in the women's room let's kill babies nine months uh you know nine months of gestation here's ann hathaway i listen i'm embarrassed to say like i've seen some of her movies in the past the devil wears prada she just went out now the end of oak street she's in the odyssey that's right i forgot about that this is one of hollywood's highest paid actresses she goes on the view and says possibly one of the dumbest things evil things i've ever heard from a human being forget about a hollywood actress that abortion is somehow an act of mercy do you don't believe me listen you want to talk about an an evil vacuum of a human being trying to fill it with a cause they write themselves into.
34:54This is the reframing. Troubled woman, work long hours, strangulation. Troubled pregnancy, crisis pregnancies are common. So we're going to murder the kid? This actually happened. Check this out. When you are a young woman starting out your career, your reproductive destiny matters a great deal. My own personal experience with abortion, and I don't think we talk about this enough, abortion can be another word for mercy. We don't know. We don't know. It's not a world in which, we know that no two pregnancies are alike and it follows that no two lives are alike, that follows that no two conceptions are alike.
35:32So how can we have a law? How can we have a point of view on this that says we must treat everything the same? And where I come at it from is when you allow for choice, you allow for flexibility, which is what we need in order to be human. Folks, you see this tactic with the idiocracy who are crashing out right now all the time. They take facts or axiomatic truths and they pretend they're evidence. She just did it, Anne Hathaway. She says things that are on their face, tautological. They're true by default. Do you hear what she said, Justin? Not every pregnancy is the same. That is not some genius thing to say.
36:20I heard someone say, what's the youth of the future? No, freaking. That's not, you didn't just invent the Pythagorean theorem. Thus no human says, thank you, man. That is, what a profound insight. They do this all the time. And they parlay that into evidence that therefore we should be allowed to murder children in the womb. How is that connected at all? You see the lunatics on X totally crashing out doing this. There were foreign cell phones at a site. Yes, people from other countries go to college and you guys say, hey, what? What? You see how they do this all the time and suckers fall for it?
37:13there are people listening to this idiot hathaway by the way she's in this new days of thunder i actually like days of thunder how i now what am i gonna do now the original days of thunder i thought was underrated by the way hat tip randy quaid for calling this out do you hire this idiot to be in the movie abortions an act of mercy because all people are different and no pregnancies what did you just say this is liberal reasoning there's some idiot at home who adores ann hathaway who's listening to this going bro that's deep folks the best way to stay out of the idiocracy that i promise you i've been at this game longer than most in every forum i already told you about i promise you on everything I'm worth on this rock we call Earth.
38:06The tide is turning. And everything I've told you about these people, and they'll never lose their entire audience because there are some true believers that don't drink the Kool-Aid no matter what. They're on the Charlie Mansion ranch, as I told you about. You got to watch the Charlie Mansion, Charlie Manson, excuse me, documentary. They've been gaslit and isolated from the truth for so long, they're incapable of believing anything different. Their audiences are not going to totally disappear, but watch over time. The asymptote in the peak crazy has been reached. You're going to see a tail off and tail off and tail off as every additional lie is exposed.
38:37And soon the mockery sets in. And then what happens is you become the second or third person dancing when you exit the movement because you don't want to be laughed at either. It's happening because none of this stuff survives first contact with the real world. None of your stupid theories presented as evidence. None of your ridiculous tautologies. Every life is different. Therefore, murder them. Yeah, every life is different. There's a reason not to murder people. If a life, you could replicate it, and you murdered a kid, murder's bad regardless. However, you could replicate it later. That's not an argument.
39:13Every life is unique. God's created us all differently. Therefore, we should murder them when it's inconvenient. That's not a thing. As first contact with the real world starts to hit, I'm telling you, this is all going to dissipate. Remember, flag it in the chat. Flag that in the chat. I've seen it, man. I've been through this over and over and over again. Folks, you know, we're winning elsewhere, though. The beginning of the show was pretty hot. But we are winning elsewhere, too. Flags in the chat. Using my Motley voice on that one. We're winning elsewhere. Because the liberal policies and the lunatics in Folex MAGA, with their crap, thank you, folks, you're the best, with their Folex MAGA crap, they cannot survive first contact.
40:03When you say something dumb, like, you know, I think we should have open borders. You know, living here is a right. It's a right. No, living in the United States is a privilege. And the people who live here built this country and financed it. We get the right to say who comes here and who doesn't. Well, that doesn't sound nice. Nobody cares about what sounds nice. We care about what works. I want you to watch this. There's a couple of just quick jump cuts in the interest of time, but folks, you need to watch all of this. Vince had, this gentleman was on his show this morning, right? You need to catch Vince's show if you want to see the interview.
40:37This is a horrible, horrible story. This man's daughter was a victim in a horrific crime involving illegal immigration and elsewhere. His name is Marcus Coleman. His daughter, Delilah Coleman. He's up on Capitol Hill yesterday. This is why we, And I don't want to make this about winning or losing in the case of this man's tragedy. But folks, we cannot afford to lose the fight about our borders because you'll see more tragedy. This is what happens when you have first contact with the real world and you're an open borders, illegal immigrants are wonderful kind of person. This is what it looks like.
41:17Watch every second of this. Check this out. I reject your guys' sympathy, to be honest with you. There's no way you guys are sorry. Not one of you guys have ever called me. Not one of you guys have ever reached out to me. Not one of you guys have ever sat there and seen me in the hallways and said, Hey, sorry about your daughter. You guys do it right here while you guys are grandstanding on top of your soapbox. This is when you guys care. Right here inside this room is the only time you guys care. You guys want to sit there and talk about the pathway to citizenship. There is a pathway. It's not jump the fence and apply.
41:44That's not the way it goes. There's a process to get it done. You don't just do that. I can't just go over there and go sit down inside one of those seats and become a Democrat. Oh, you know what? I probably could. I honestly probably could. So I'm not even going to say that. Sanctuary cities allow so much to be done that it's almost like the parents not there to take care of the household. And everybody's running around and doing what they want to do. And it sucks. My daughter doesn't deserve this. She didn't ask for any of this. The people that jumped the fence did, though. They knew exactly what they were doing.
42:17They still chose to move forward in that direction. And every day something's happening to somebody. And it is your guys' fault. I hold each and every one of you responsible for it. Daughter permanently disabled. Is your open borders policy survive first contact with heroes like this gentleman? And his heroic daughter fighting every day? The damage inflicted upon her by your horrific, grotesque national security threat open borders policies? Do your policies survive first contact with the real world? Can you look at that? Can you look at the abortion photos? Can you look at a video of three kids being murdered And not look away?
43:00If you can't, maybe you're wrong, dipwads Has it ever occurred to you to look in the mirror And say maybe it's me, not them? You ever hear that stupid breakup line? It's not you, it's me It is you It is you Look at these faces Oh my gosh, gee, how did we get here? Look at these idiots, Jayapal and Raskin. Disgusting human beings. Does your policy survive first contact? If it does, then stare this guy in the face and tell him he's wrong. Tell him what he just said is wrong. Grow a pair of nuts and tell him what he just said is wrong. You can't. because your stupid, ridiculous, evil policies cannot and will never survive first contact.
43:57Folks, we don't have this problem. I'm not talking about swampy, stupid Republicans. I'm talking about good conservatives and MAGA people. We don't have this problem. Folks, we will waltz into deep blue cities like New York, and we will do an immigration op. Why? Because we're not embarrassed. We're not worried about first contact. We make first contact, second contact, and 20th contact. We're not embarrassed at all. Oh, you doubt me? You want to see the contrast in messaging? Democrats sitting there like, what do I do? What do I say? You should be able to say something. You're proud of your open borders policy, but you can't.
44:35You've got to hide. In contrast to us, here's DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen yesterday about Operation Rotten Apple. Operation Rotten Apple, probably get what they're alluding to there, was in New York City, my former hometown, a deep blue city in a deep blue state. We're not embarrassed. We ran an immigration op out there, got rid of 2 ,000 criminals in just a couple weeks on Operation Rotten Apple. Why aren't we embarrassed? We are so not embarrassed by first contact. DHS Secretary Mullen did a press conference about it. We're not having a problem looking ourselves in the eye. You are. Check this out.
45:16Homicides are down 18 percent and these are 126 year lows. Carjackings down 47 percent. Motor vehicle theft down 20 percent. Robberies are down 17 percent. This is what it looks like when you empower our law enforcement agencies, local, state, and federal, to work together and restore law and order on our streets. No one's embarrassed about first contact here. Good for you, Mark Wayne Mullen and your heroes and ICE and CBP and elsewhere. Put up the New York Post article about this. We're not embarrassed at all. we make first 10th, 50th, 100th contact. ICE nabs over 2 ,000 illegal immigrants across New York in Operation Rotten Apple, including child rapists and killers.
46:09Child rapists and killers, you think we want them out? No. Kathy Hochul, governor of New York, said we're going to ban cooperation with ICE because we want our child rapists and killers here. You do? Tell that to Marcus Coleman. I want you to engage in first contact yourself and see how well that ends for you. You're proud of it? Put it on a bumper sticker. We support child rapist killers who are here illegally because, is there going to be an asterisk below? Put that on your stupid coexist. We coexist with child rapists on your bumper sticker. Tolerance. We tolerate child rapists. Go ahead, do it.
46:50Folks, I cannot bring this idea up about first contact enough. The MAGA movement's not embarrassed at all. we're running away from none of this borders closed streets are safer we're building things again we're not running away from it no one's telling you anything's perfect and there's not problem no one's telling you that but the success stories and the w's and the wins nobody's running we're not facing defamation suits and things like that the clown show is you know what jump to the Caleb Hammer. I like this guy too. Here's what it looks like again, when you have a group of absolute morons on the other side, writing themselves into this heroic story.
47:33Oh, we're trying to just save humanity from the horrors of capitalism. There's just not enough big government in our lives. Like what do you even have a, even a small concept of the math involved in government, social welfare programs? The answer on the... Here, no tease. Caleb Hammer asked why do they always look like this? I don't know. Blue-green-haired lady liberal who's making the case here that we spend too much on the military in a dangerous world, but not enough on social programs, but doesn't have any idea about how much we actually spend. That would kind of be a good starting point for arguing what we spend and not, right?
48:10The actual number? Folks, they don't even know anything. This is faux main character energy but she's a real hero she's a real hero check this out patriotic with blue hair you think i'm patriotic you can still be patriotic and be wrong about economics patriotic when we're spending more money on bombs than we are for like social justice or like the social programs we spend 50 of the federal spending on social programs like what social programs medicare medicaid mandatory spending snap benefits veteran benefits you mean snap benefits that people just got taken away from them? You think everyone just got taken off snap?
48:48Most people did. You think the majority just got taken off snap? Our military spending is 10 to 20%. And that's 10 to 20%. It's egregious. We spent 50 % on social programs. I'm a military kid and I can tell you that shit is not needed. Girl, you literally just got the information that you were just wrong and yet you're still doubling down. Oh boy. I love when people have no idea what they do. And then they're just not patriotic. It's like, dude, you're literally not a contributor. you should be the most patriotic person you contribute nothing i mean you contribute literally nothing you've only been a taker and and yet you're the one that doesn't like the country folks these are the bed rhymes with hitters with an s in front of it i have been telling you about from the beginning of the show people who run around with their green and blue hair on fire screaming how they're such heroes in a comic book they wrote that they're going to help all these people who are being ripped off by the government.
49:44What's the government giving them? Oh, I don't know. I haven't done any homework. You don't know anything. Caleb's correct. You've contributed nothing to the national discourse whatsoever. You're a Times Square Rolex salesman. You're a three-card Monty Times Square guy in 1980s pre-Giuliani New York. You're the shell game guy. Here's a hint. You're never going to win. It's all a scam. You can't win a debate against these idiots because they're not debating anything because they don't know it.
50:16These are your heroes? I was going to title the show after this clip because I saw it this morning. You know, is it Camille Foster? Did you see this back and forth on CNN last night? I want to show you what it looks like again when you're debating just like this, the idiocracy, who forget about surviving first contact, They can't even make first contact because there's nothing to make contact with because they don't even know what they believe. This guy Camille's on CNN debating Jameel Hill, who is a moron of the highest order. I mean, geometrically more stupid than even the average stupid person.
51:00This is a loser, a complete moron, a sports reporter who I would even use those terms loosely, who somehow found herself on CNN debating against capitalism, gets absolutely mowed down by a guy who's clearly done some homework and doesn't even know how to respond. Here's what first contact looks like when you're debating someone smarter than you and you're just left with no weapons in the debate tank. Check this out. One thing to not think capitalism isn't working ideally, it's another thing entirely to insist that it is oppressive, that it is bound up with white supremacy. I've always preferred Adam Smith's description of capitalism as the natural system of liberty, the idea that people can own property, that they can exchange it freely with one another for profit, that they can find ways to put their resources to good use, those private property, and profit in a way that is actually beneficial to everyone else, that there can be gains from trade that are mutually beneficial.
52:03These are foundational ideas that have created more wealth than any other system in human history. The notion that white supremacy and all these other things are bound up with capitalism in an intrinsic and fundamental way is so absurd and laughable that it barely needs to be defended. What do you mean it barely needs to be defended? It barely needs to be defended. You actually have to articulate what the connection is. How are these two things the same? I'm talking about private property, the right to exchange and sell it with whomever you like. What does that have to do with white supremacy?
52:33It was intended to work versus how it's actually working. It's not working. It's working right now today. What is the white supremacist dynamic of private property? It's not working. I think that's the problem. This is what happens when you put a sports reporter who knows nothing with the IQ of a garden snake on a national cable television news program. Patriot Miss LL in the chat says, be a master. Debater. Dot, dot, dot, dot. P1s get that. Camille Foster's a master debater. Well done, sir. Folks, I said to you in the opening of this segment that you can always easily kind of show yourself in an evidence-reason-based manner who is right or wrong in the argument about who's willing to make first contact with an idea and who hides from it.
53:25The left hides from their own ideas all the time. We love higher taxes. Do you pay higher taxes voluntarily? No, I don't. Why are you hiding from it? Because you know it's a stupid idea. We love late-term abortion. Oh, here's a picture of it. Don't show me that. Why would you not want to see it? We love this lady who killed her kids. What, you want to see a video of it? I don't want to look at that. I don't want to look at that. Well, why not? Why don't you see far-left blue-haired liberals like the green blue-haired lady rushing into conservative places like we live now, talking about your ideas, sitting on a street corner going, defund the police and all this stuff?
54:01because you'd be laughed out of town. But MAGA people and conservatives like the DHS secretary will roll into blue cities all the time and do a press conference going, here's why we think securing the border, getting rid of child rapists are a good idea. We don't know if we're afraid of first contact. I put this show together yesterday and this thing popped after and I thought, holy Moses, this guy just gave me a gift. There's a guy in Nebraska. He's a Democrat. He's trying to pretend like he's not a Democrat. He is. This guy's name is Dan Osborne. He's running in Nebraska, a deep red state of American patriots.
54:39Beautiful place. He's running in Nebraska. He gets caught on some open mic or someone's recording him. He gets caught talking about the entire premise of the show. I swear to you, I put together before I saw this last night. And I'm thinking this just sums it up. here he is talking about how stupid far left ideas are trans issues men's into women men in the women's room here's how ridiculous they sound to hard-working patriots in red states that just believe in common sense but no one on the conservative side does this we're not embarrassed about closed borders safe streets and building things in america i'm embarrassed at all listen to the humiliation in his voice as he says hey man i got a lot of republicans here i can't be talking about this stupid crap.
55:26Oh, really? I thought you lefties were proud of it. Hear it from them in their own words. I have people recording me, so I can't say I want to abolish ICE. I can't say those words. I'll be fucked. The state is made up of 50 % Republicans, 26 % Democrat, 24 % Independents. So my win numbers, mathematically, I have to get probably 10 to 15 % of Republicans to win this race. How am I going to do that? By fucking saying, oh, I love trans people and they should be able to play in sports. Like, fuck no, Jane, that's not how I win. The greatest clipper. Just recently on the show right now, I just don't want to.
56:10I'm having too much fun right now. I don't even want to. I don't even have to do it. I like the radio thing because I just like doing extra content all the time. Folks, did that not just sum up the whole show? Our ideas are so stupid that if I go talk to anyone who's a Republican or even a right-leaning independent, I will be laughed out of the place because they're so ridiculous. Open borders, defund ICE, men in the women's room. This is how proud you are of your ideas. They cannot survive first contact with anyone who doesn't have blue or green hair and is as crazy as you. He knows it. This should be disqualifying.
56:46This guy should never run for office again. He's lying to your face. he knows conservatives ideas are defendable using reason and logic but he can't say that because he lies to you folks they're in a messaging panic on the left i told you this over and over we're not winning everywhere i told you i'm problems with younger women on the ai issue you got a bunch of you know cyber titans out there telling kids that are going to lose their job. That's a great sales pitch, bro. Like, that's really great. Stop. Stop.
57:31Just please get a hold of your messaging. All right? We're not winning everywhere. But we are absolutely kicking their butts on socialism, national security, and elsewhere. Because they're in a panic. You can see it. it's nothing I like to see more than two diehard Democrats Joe Scarborough from MSNOW and Chuck Schumer battling each other over like hey man no matter where you stand on Iran right like it's probably a good idea that the death to America people don't kill us these are I don't want to hear about Scarborough as a Republican it's cut the nonsense guys are liberal this is the panic they're in their ideas are so dumb that somehow regardless of your stance on Iran that we should somehow be cheering on the Iranians?
58:12It's so stupid, they can't even reconcile this on their own Democrat movement intra-party. Check this out. Is it a good thing that Iran, and I think you would agree with me, epicenter of terrorism in the world since 1979, is it good that their military infrastructure is being degraded to the degree that it is, yes or no? You can't, because it's a premature question. What is going to happen in the next several months? No, no, I can ask that question. No, no, no, I can't. So you have a military side, but I can show you my chart, but I think I threw it away. You have the military side, you have the political side.
58:47I'm simply asking on the military side, is it good, regardless of whether we agree with going in or not, is it good that Iran's military infrastructure has been seriously degraded? And again, I have to tell you, Joe, first, you can't, what's going to happen three months from now? Is it worth it? What's going to happen? Will the world economy collapse? Will something happen even worse? Will the whole energy infrastructure of the world go up in smoke? Folks, if I always bring receipts, OK, unlike the, you know, the Doomer's fear of crazy losers with the space aliens did it nonsense. If they are not in messaging chaos, can we all agree?
59:31Let's just lay down some actual facts that are related to evidence that MSNOW is a liberal network. Yes, point stipulated. Joe Scarborough is definitely not a pro-Trumper, correct? Yes, point stipulated. They're arguing amongst themselves about like, is the death to America, Iranians, like military victories against them a good thing? What? Is that even a, no, it's a bad thing. They should beat us. That's your thing. Do you have kids? The answer is some of you with the main character energy problem don't. That's why you're sitting out there in front of the Lindsey Clancy trial trying to find a hero in a comic book you wrote.
1:00:09You can't even figure out if the Iranians trying to nuke us later is a good or bad thing. Even Scarborough's like, dude, can you just answer the question? Forget about the politics for a second. You want to argue politically, defense, that's your thing, dude. I'm just asking you, is it good that we are defeating the Iranian mullah death to America? Chuma's like, you know, I don't know, man. I'm not really sure. Ask a Nebraska voter about that. He thinks you're freaking crazy. You want to see something even crazier? Imagine. I can't with this guy. This guy. I'm so funny. I'm sorry for, I can't with this Tala Freako cat.
1:00:52The clips of this guy coming out, running in Texas. Texas. Texas.
1:01:06running in Texas. He's running as like, there's seven genders. I don't like meat or something. God could be a woman or a guy. Now he's running on like capitalism as like white supremacy. The clips in his guy are just, when K-File, Andrew Kaczynski, who does this thing called K-File, I don't know what that guy's politics. But when he's putting up tweets about your cringy comments, you admitting they were cringy, you know you're in trouble. The dude is running in Texas. It's like running in like for the Boston mayor's spot and saying, I don't like the green monster. We should paint it yellow and orange or even worse.
1:01:57Yeah, I was just going to say we should put pinstripes on the green monster. What? What? What?
1:02:06Did they? What was the score? I saw that. 16-1. Oof. The Sox. Quick break. I'm going to show you this. Imagine running for Texas and back in 2020, openly saying on a video about capitalism, white supremacy in Texas. In Texas. It's like Dan Osborne. Tala Frico is going to have to admit on Hidden Camera or elsewhere. he's going to have to admit that when I go up to the average Texan and I hear this stuff, they think I'm a lunatic this is crazy folks, you know I'm not a big gambler but I've been having a lot of fun looking at marketplace predictions for everything from politics to sports and CalShe, it's where I get the best insights on predictions from sports, to politics, to finance, or any variety of markets people are monitoring, calshe.com is a bookmark you need I featured them in my last election special they were spot on, our president was elected as predicted.

This is the Tala Frico gift is the gift that keeps on giving. Here is a 2020 video just serviced of Tala Frico running for the United States Senate in Texas claiming like Jameel Hill and other lunatics on CNN, again, stating things that he believes are facts unconnected to any evidence, trying to connect somehow like white supremacy to capitalism. He sounds exactly like Jameel Hill. Maybe she should take her place on the CNN panel if he loses Texas. Check this out.
1:04:15The multi, you know, multifaceted threat of a climate crisis, an economic crisis and a in a social justice crisis, I think that kind of New Deal effort would be the only approach to start to address all three in a thoughtful and meaningful way. Good for you, Jim. Thank you very much. The second question, communities of color receive the most harm from the impacts of climate change and yet receive the least government support to deal with it. Tell us about one of the committees you are on or hope to be on and the most important actions that committee could take to fight for climate justice and mitigate the impacts of climate change for all Texans.
1:05:00Yeah, and I'm so thankful that you asked this question and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country. And I think only in the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together, are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them? Justin just pointed something out I totally missed. Did you guys catch the lady above them? Hat tip, Lone Star Pack, for pointing out the lady above is like, looks like she's down in some vino tinto there. Even she's like, I can't take this guy without like artificial stimulants and intoxicants in my body.
1:05:38Do you believe this guy? No, I'm asking you, like, do you actually, this guy won a primary in the state of Texas? Andrew Kaczynski put this tweet up. Now apparently, why do the left have to run away from their own ideas all the time? Who knows? Maybe it's grape juice. Who the hell knows?
1:05:59Here's Andrew Kaczynski. Tallarico campaign tells CNN his cringy past comments missed the mark, and he's a capitalist who supports oil and gas. how many times what listen you want to drill an idea into someone's head we do this all the time what are the three rules folks tell people what you're going to tell them tell them and then tell them what you told them don't ever forget that if you ever do a train the trainer thing it is the only way to hammer home information i told you i was going to tell you and then i told you about how liberals can never survive first contact with their own ideas they run away from them conservatives don't do this at all every comment i've made on this show about my support of free markets economic freedom life the second amendment i have stood by audience archivist judy's like she always tells me if there's one thing you've been you've been consistent she sends me clips from 10 years ago you said the exact same thing because it's not hard to defend don't kill babies in the womb don't take away my guns and leave my money alone unless it's supporting something that's defended by the constitution that's it why are liberals always running away from their own stuff
1:07:11liberals you ever liberals watching my show i see you in the chat lunatics do you ever wonder why this happens why you almost never see outside of like a few lunatics you almost never see conservatives becoming liberals but you see tons of liberals becoming conservatives. Donald Trump took a whole bunch of people who had voted liberal in the past, union workers, minorities, and elsewhere, and transformed them into MAGA conservatives. Why? Why doesn't it work the other way? Because your ideas are freaking stupid. Has that ever occurred to you? You cannot survive first contact with the real world.
1:07:48You just can't. That's why you get things like this. You want receipts? You know Harry Antin, the pollster for CNN? I think Donald Trump gave him a shout-out or something. Harry Antin's a pollster on CNN. I don't know the guy. It doesn't matter to me. But he's on CNN, so let's throw away the garbage. This is some right-leaning stuff he's talking about. This is why the Democrats, despite saying it's going to be a huge blue wave, we're all going to get our butts kicked, everyone on the Republican side should stay home, the doomers, the gloomers, it's over. why can't the Democrats, if they're so proud of their resistance and opposition, why can't they get a huge majority of people to support their own movement then?
1:08:30Because your movement is crazy and your ideas, just like Talafrico said, are, quote, cringey. Your words, man. Here's the polls. Receipts matter. Check this out. ...favorability rating of the Democratic Party. You know, back in 2018, when Democrats, during the first Trump presidency, right, when they were able to win back and control the House, they were even. They were even, right? Favorable minus unfavorable. Even at 0-0-0. Now look at this. 25 points underwater. Oof. Oof. You know, the Demp brand, as I said, it's not too good these days. It's not too good. This guy's got, that's got to be, I'm out of New York a long time, but water.
1:09:11That's got to be a New York accent. Harry, can you email the show? I just, you got to be a New York guy. These guys, can someone find out from CNN? Like, is Harry Anning? If the Democrats' ideas are so great and the political environment is so fantastic, we're going to lose 100 seats as Republicans or whatever blue wave stuff, then why can't you garner any type of popular favorability for your own ideas? Because your ideas suck. You've written a comic book that you think you're a hero in, and the minute people read it, they're like, that's not my comic book. What are you running on? What is your campaign sign?
1:09:48Defund ICE. Defund the military. We love Lindsay Clancy. We support child rapists and killers. What is your movement about? Late-term abortion, kill babies. Like, this is your thing? We had Erin Milan on the show. She's a great commentator. She was a guest on the show. She has her own show, The Erin Milan Show, M-O-L-A-N. She brought up a great point, too, how crazy the left has gotten. Folks, if you haven't heard of this, I encourage you to look this up after the show. But China has been engaged in a global infrastructure building project, ports, roads. Look up the Silk Road project, you know, silk like spider silk.
1:10:28Look it up. China has basically been investing in infrastructure in foreign countries as a way to infiltrate themselves into said foreign countries, increase their global footprint and basically hijack local economies. They create loan conditions. A lot of these local, a lot of these nations can't meet. They wind up taking over their ports and infrastructure. It's a huge national security threat to us. Huge. It's amazing that leftists like Chuck Schumer and others, they're all P.O.ed about Donald Trump taking an interest in Venezuelan oil fields that will unquestionably benefit the United States.
1:11:00And the left is groaning and moaning. Oh, my God. I can't believe we're doing this. But the same leftists don't seem to be complaining about China that's doing a thousand times worse. At least this was a voluntary agreement. And this is a great point by Aaron Milan on this exact topic. Check this out. Let's talk about Venezuela and oil. The big deal that Trump has broken. Basically, a long-term agreement where America invests significantly in developing underutilized oil supplies in return for, yes, oil around one-fifth of Venezuela's supply. So Venezuela still owns all the resources. US companies provide capital, infrastructure, technology, the logistics essentially to make it all happen, to produce and extract the oil.
1:11:52The backlash has been swift, and not just from Democrats, but others. You know what they didn't seem to have a big problem with? China, the number one threat to America, sucking Venezuela dry of all its oil prior to this. Do you know what percentage of Venezuelan oil China was taking up until the night Maduro was captured? About 60 % of it. So anyone in America who would rather this oil, this energy, this liquid gold go to China is cheering on the demise of their own nation. It's that simple. that is a fantastic point by a very very smart and insightful commentator aaron milan you have no problem with china's silk row building out infrastructure around the world to hijack the globe but the minute the united states tries to save venezuela from imminent economic collapse nothing's perfect over there the leadership's terrible but however may get better with this you're all pissed off i wanted to end the show with this today because we haven't had a make America healthy again moment for a long time.
1:13:03And you know, I'm really proud of being part of that movement. I am so glad that we have an HHS secretary in a movement right now, not so focused on, you know, pharmacological enhancements, but just changing your own life before we run in and take a pill. I'm not telling you pills aren't valuable. You know, ever since cancer, I've had to take thyroid medication, all kinds of things. They're very valuable. The pharmaceutical industry, I have no problem with it. However, I don't think there's any question that given 10 different interventions people can take to get healthier a lot of people sometimes will jump to the pill first when you can just like walk 30 minutes a day or other things like that so this make america healthy again movement is really important to me so i've been trying to throw in some health hacks in the show the maha this is our maha moment haven't had one in a while this is some great commentary hat tip joe rogan show um from a guy talking about the effects of caffeine and alcohol And again, I am not against at all people having a drink or I'm a big caffeine lover too.
1:14:02But it's this interesting perspective from him as he says, I got off caffeine for a little while and then went back and look what happened. I love my coffee. It's not going anywhere. I'm loving, you know, having a Friday night out with the wife and having a glass of vino tinto myself. Who knows what a lady was drinking, maybe grape juice, whatever. But this is an interesting perspective. I thought it was worth throwing in the show. check this out. One of the most powerful drug experiences I've had in my life was the first cup of coffee after three months off. Really? I felt like there was this veil between me and reality that, you know, I was not quite seeing, getting, feeling.
1:14:35And it was weird. I didn't feel myself for the whole time. And I thought, what does that mean? It means yourself is caffeinated. looking back in history for when caffeine enters the West. And it doesn't happen until the 1650s in Europe. So we actually have a before and after, which we don't with a lot of drugs because they just go back millennia. And before caffeine, it was a very different world and a very different consciousness. People were drunk a lot of the time, buzzed almost all of the time. People drank morning, noon, and night because it was safer than water. Water was really how you got diseases.
1:15:16If you fermented things, even low alcohol, it killed all of the microbes. So people, even kids, you gave your kids hard cider for breakfast. Wow. And this was true in America up until the 1800s, up until Prohibition. But anyway, um caffeine comes along in the 1650s and tea and chocolate and coffee all arrive in the same decade in england which kind of like great decade right and um and it helped the culture in two ways one was as safe as alcohol made water boiling it made it much safer and coffee and tea of course both require boiling water no one ate drank boiling water uh or hot beverages before so this gave this incredible public health boost to these places.
1:16:03And then you have the drug that basically fosters a kind of more linear, rational, focused way of thinking. I agree. That's why I'm never giving up my coffee. I am never giving up my coffee. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. And by the way, I'm not one of these teetotaler, anti-alcohol people. I am definitely against you know alcohol and excess drinking every day doing stupid stuff it is not good for your liver it is not good for your body it is not healthy i don't care what anybody tells you the longitudinal research on it is not good but ladies and gentlemen we're human beings it is a social lubricant as you've heard me say often and a lot of people who when they responsibly treat alcohol the right way have great memories of hanging out having a glass of wine or a beer or tequila or vodka and soda, whatever the hell you drink with their friends.
1:16:55So I think this stuff's Dr. Michael Pollan. I'm sorry, Michael Pollan. So great commentary. I'm always happy to give you both sides, but I ain't giving up my coffee. I'm not giving up, I want to have a glass of alcohol, whatever it is. I'm going to have it. I've taken that all into perspective and I'm going to do what I do and I'm not changing anything, but it is worth putting that stuff out there. I know that would have been perfect Z-Biotics and then like Blackout Right after that would have been like Westwood come on You got to get on it we should have thought of that That would have been right that would have been ideal Oh this is a section Sponsored by Blackout Coffee And by the way we're sponsored by Man I had a little too much Fun today I know when the guys are in The control room like falling off the chairs So we always pick a comment of the day all you have to do is join us in the chat live 10 a.m eastern time every day once a week we pick a winner gets 1 ,776 dollars if you want to see the official rules bongino.com slash 1776 read them for yourself the comment of the day today is strozfan55 assume you mean the astros without the The A, when you crap the bed, you get a defecation suit, not a defamation suit.
