Leave No Man Behind (Ep. 2488)

25:50You have to say increasingly deranged things about Donald Trump. You have to basically show your ass to the public. And then people will celebrate you on Twitter and elsewhere, which has become dominated by rage bots. So people get this artificial elevation of like, I call Donald Trump Hitler and everybody said they love it. So everyone must love that. They don't. They are going to go out and impeach this guy. You're dealing with a party that deals only in emotion. They are not anchored in any principles. They will flip their principles on a dime. I was just reading an article. Was it Friday in the Wall Street Journal?

26:27Do you remember that SALT deduction, state and local taxes? The SALT deduction was a tax cut for wealthier folks on their state and local taxes. They could write them off. Now, you say, well, why the hell would the Democrats want a tax cut for wealthy people? Because it was blue states that have really high state and local taxes. I thought the Democrats don't like tax cuts. The Democrats don't have principles. I'm trying to tell you this. The Democrats care about power. A lot of rich liberals in these blue states were bitching about their salt deduction not being high enough, that they had to pay more taxes, and they changed their mind.

27:04The only reason I bring it up is now there's another one, a bill moving through in New York that's going to limit the SALT deduction again to make them pay higher taxes. What the hell? First, they don't want tax cuts. Then they want a tax cut. Now back again, they don't want the tax cut. They don't believe in anything. They believe in rage and power. That is the whole bedrock of collectivism. The idea that you should organize and centralize power to abuse it. Folks, we have this contrast of visions going forward, as Thomas Soles pointed out in his book. We got to make a choice in these midterms and these presidential elections.

27:45I had a friend reach out to me this weekend and said, you know, you know who you are. He's a pretty famous guy, but he was an athlete, super nice guy. He was talking about, hey, do we feel like all this is fixed? I said, hell no, is this fixed? Government's never fixed. If men were angels, you know, Federal's 51, we're not. You get another group of people in power, ladies and gentlemen, they bring their own people in there. are people or policy. The only thing you can do with government is put guardrails on them and hope they hold. Bad people are going to do bad things. The only thing you can do is get rid of as many bad people as possible.

28:19We have this massive conflict of visions going forward. And I've never seen it more summed up by the whole leftist blanket ideology on race and identity politics. Ladies and gentlemen, they don't give a damn about any of this stuff, okay? They don't care about LGBTQIA. They don't care about American Indians versus Asians versus Jewish versus Muslims. They don't care. They care about pitting people in corners and getting them to fight each other so that in the midst of the chaos, they can come in like the government and rescue everyone. There's this article from last week by this guy in the Wall Street Journal.

28:55I'm gay, but that doesn't make me queer. Talking about how he's like, hey, man, I'm gay. And I took all these courses in college and stuff and learned that. And I started to realize they're full of crap. They don't care about gay rights. These terrorists in the Middle East throw gays off a building. They love them. Here it is summed up in two quick videos back to back. First, I want you to listen. You know, we have the Artemis mission now. They're out there. We're doing just amazing things out there in space, thanks to the Trump team and Isaacman and formerly Sean Duffy, who is running NASA. And we're back to doing things the United States does.

29:34Big, bold missions. A lot of it's in conjunction with the private sector, which I think is a good thing. I don't think the government should be the lead agency on a lot of this stuff. But there is a role for space when it comes to defense. And there's no doubt the government has to be involved. Space is the new warfare frontier. Trust me, the government needs a footprint in space. Here's Sky News covering the launch on Artemis. And I want you to notice what they're focused on, on the launch. and tell me if this is a party you want to be a part of check this out and they are going for all humanity this time you know uh apollo was all white men and this time it's not and i think that really speaks volumes uh for the journey that nasa has been on um and this is a much more representative crew and you can feel emotional about that holy moses folks do you have any idea how many minorities have been to space.

30:28Not that it matters because this guy doesn't give a damn. He doesn't care. This is all these people care about. And it's not because they actually care about minorities or people who are gay. They see it as a weaponization tool to keep people pissed off as victims so that everybody hates each other and they can come in as the government and fix it all through social welfare programs and other things. Now I want you to listen to one of the astronauts This gentleman Victor Glover He's asked kind of a similar question About this identity politics stuff And he's like, hey man Can we just start focusing on human beings And stuff like doing big things What the hell do we I don't know this guy's politics, I don't care I'm just asking you a question as my audience Trying to prove the point These people don't care on the left about any of this stuff It's all about inducing rage in you Oh my gosh white men in space.

31:23It's all they talk about all the time. They don't have anything else. There's no principles here. Check this out. It is a big question. And I want to highlight, I guess, maybe one facet of this is the tension, I call it. I live in this, you know, this dichotomy between happiness that a young woman can look at Christina and just physicalize her passion or her interests, or even if it's not something she wants to do, she can just be like girl power. And that's awesome. And that young brown boys and girls can look at me and go, hey, he looks like me and he's doing what? And that's great. I love that.

31:56But I also hope we are pushing the other direction that one day we don't have to talk about these first, that one day this is just. And I listen to this, that this is the human history. It's about human history. It's the story of humanity, not black history, not women's history, but that it becomes human history. Amen, man. I mean, I don't. if the media would start calling this out, which I know is ridiculous, the media is obviously on the other side, large chunks of it are left-wing ideologues. If they would start calling this stuff out for what it is, unnecessary division and total bullshit, I think we could move on, but we can't because they love it too because it fits their ideological power grab.

32:41They're part of this whole movement. I saw this interesting tweet at NWokeness. Now, this is a 2007 study, to be clear. But I saw this, and if diversity, right? Diversity, guys. Everyone in the audience, pay quick and close attention to this. If diversity has benefits, it should show in research. Facts, correct? You should be able to show data, data. Show data. Show us some evidence. Diversity, all the... This produces some tangible benefit. Put that tweet up. This is fascinating. and wokeness put out there, I wonder why this study got buried. This was just from the screen, but the study is an older study back from 2007.

33:23They found in this study, and I wonder why to get buried. Listen to the conclusion. The greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and less likely they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in homogeneous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings. Anyone in the chat surprised by this? That when you're in a community of people you chose to move in who are like-minded, civic-minded, it's got nothing to do, by the way, if they look like you, so just cut the bullshit.

34:06We're talking about just people who feel generally the same way in a community. Is it shocking to you that you would feel a greater bond to a community of people who feel kind of the same way you do about faith, family, and freedom. This is not unusual, this result.

34:25Diversity. Diversity for what? For the sake of what? Answer the question. For the sake of what? You can't answer the question. You have no evidence to back this up at all. And again, I can't emphasize enough. If we had a sane media ecosystem that would call these people out and ask basic questions like that, by the way, it would say, hey, you keep talking about diversity. What exactly do you mean? What do you mean? You mean like skin color, religion? What about socioeconomic status? What about country of origin where you came from? What about that? What kind of diversity are you talking about?

35:09And can you produce to me evidence that that actually does anything? They can't. This is why trust in the media is at an all-time low. Again, these are facts, folks. This show produces actual data. Put up that rabbit hole, D. This just about popped this weekend, too. I told you, nobody trusts these people because they see in their real lives that everything they've been told is true by these folks is nothing more than a media talking point. Share people who said they had a great deal or fair amount of trust. in mass media. Look at it, down to 31%. Folks, that is stunning. Think about what this chart indicates here for those who process information and use reason, i.e.

35:55this audience, right? You're talking about seven out of 10 people who go and analyze media information, media, their one job, the American media is to get you facts, inputs to process a proper output, right? that seven out of 10 people have no trust in these people at all, you would think this would be a wake-up call for these folks. But they have no ability to self-reflect at all. I'm going to tell you, one of the most illuminating experiences I had in my early career in government on the Secret Service side, when you're a new agent, right, on the president's detail, forgive me if you've heard this story before, but they stick you with the press when you're on what they call PPD, Presidential Protective Division.

36:39They stick you with the press because it's where you can do the least damage. Until you get a feel for kind of the flow, to go with the flow of how the president's detail works. You can do the least damage with the press. You spend a lot of time with the press as a new agent, like a lot. Folks, some of the conversations you would hear these people having were so humiliatingly stupid that I swear if it was said in front of a camera, you'd never trust the media again. these people put off this air that there's these this highbrow air nose in the air air that they have a set of facts you don't have when in fact they have nothing they they're really stupid a lot not all of them but a good chunk of them some of the stuff they'd be i couldn't believe it and just the stuff they would do on like the oh gosh like the press plane and stuff they don't do it anymore because the cell phone carries these these people are horrible here we haven't heard from this guy in a while.

37:36They have no ability to self-reflect at all and say, hey, how are we contributing to this malaise that the left-wing media says we're in? Here's Jim Acosta. We haven't heard from this guy in a long time. He's apparently upset at some possible leadership changes in CNN, concerned, get a load of this, that they may become a propaganda channel. I'm not kidding. This is actually real. Talk about a lack of self-reflection. Check this out. That's something to be worried about because it doesn't, you know, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that they're going to try to impose that same kind of top-down editorial mandate over at CNN, that, hey, we're going to be a little bit more MAGA, we're going to be a little bit more Trumpy.

38:16And, you know, I mean, I think that's dangerous. You know, we don't need to have propaganda networks in the U.S. Holy Moses, is this real? And the answer is yes, it is real. He actually said that. This man has no ability whatsoever to process new inputs and create an additional output. He probably still believes the Russia collusion hoax is real. He can't shake his priors no matter what. And I'm telling you, the mark of an imbecile is the inability to process new information. As life chronologically moves on, new information and stimuli comes in, correct? Every day you learn something new. If you cannot change an opinion no matter what, based on a set of facts contrary to your prior opinion, you are the problem.

39:04A propaganda network. Folks, there's a reason 7 out of 10 people don't trust them. You would think that would be a moment of reflection. I mean, think about this in your business. Imagine like Justin had a, he always wears hooded sweatshirts, this guy. He loves his hoodies, right? Justin starts Justin hoodies or whatever it is. Thermostat is 64 right now. What's that? The thermostat is currently 64 degrees. That's why I'm wearing a hoodie. He doesn't like it that I keep the studio at 64 degrees. I'm always getting, I'm sorry. I got some Italian blood and it runs a little hotter. I'm sorry. So he is always, it's Florida.

39:38Justin always looks like Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back in the beginning. What is that thing? Is it a tauntaun or something? Andy, put Justin in a, get the lightsaber, put Justin in the tauntaun. Warbubbub. Imagine he starts this hoodie company selling Justin's hoodies and seven out of 10 emails he gets on the customer service line. Like, hey, those hoodies really suck. Justin's a smart guy. Well, what sucks about it? I don't like the drawstring. It keeps breaking. And you change it. The media has been at roughly 30 % approval for eons now. And they have no capability to say maybe we should start doing facts and get away from the propaganda.

40:19They don't. They don't care. Here's another great story the media will likely ignore, by the way, in the Trump era. It's okay to say you don't agree, by the way, media folks, with the Donald Trump economic policies. with his war policies. That's the job of the media. The job of the media, a fair media, is not to be, you know, a mockingbird. It's not to parrot things. But you should also put out the other side of the argument, too. This tweet this weekend, I saw a rapid response from the Trump team out there. The paring down of the government workforce, something that's been talked about by Republicans, Tea Party folks, and others forever, and has really never happened, is finally happening.

41:00Ladies and gentlemen, this is a piece of good news. Rapid response 47. Under POTUS Trump, the federal workforce has been reduced to its smallest level since 1966, the lowest share of the total labor force in over a century. Folks, that's an amazing story. That hasn't happened in decades since 1966. We've had a bloated federal workforce forever. You've got this guy and everybody's worried about he dropped an F-bomb in a tweet. How about producing actual data? The jobs numbers that came out on Friday. I want you to smile a little bit today. It was Easter weekend. Everybody's coming back. Spring break's kind of over.

41:40So people are filtering back to work, filtering back into the chat. It's good to see you back here. Put a smile on your face. We are in an unbelievably good spot right now. Yes, there's a war going on. Yes, we should keep our eyes open. Yes, there's a dangerous terrorist situation. Yes, the economy's got some bumps in the road. But the jobs numbers that came out on Friday, if you missed the show, were just staggering. Here's Kevin Hassett, one of Donald Trump's economic advisors. Very smart guy. Here's Hassett discussing a couple critical items as to why this happened. Because it's not an accident.

42:15The job numbers were 178 ,000, which blew away projections that expected 60 ,000 jobs. That is a huge number. An enormous number. But he talks about a couple of things I've mentioned over and over that should put a big darn smile on your face. The fact that Donald Trump has removed mounds of red tape that cost you money to get your business going. He has deregulated large portions of the economy. And he's also focused on a growth environment rather than this oppressive Joe Biden, big government environment by creating more federal jobs and fewer private sector jobs. Check this out. I can say that this is an absolute blockbuster number.

42:50It's one of the best numbers that you've seen in a long time. And what it shows is that all of the cumulative policies that President Trump has pushed, the no tax on tips, no tax on overtimes, making the old Trump tax cuts permitted, deregulation,$18 trillion in new investments in the U.S. through our trade deals, all of that stuff, plus a big reduction in the trade deficit, has created an enormous amount of momentum for the U.S. economy. And so that momentum cannot be upended by a temporary Middle East scurvish. Okay, I want to get to that. Again, these are the things the media won't tell you.

43:29I promise when we get blips in the economy, if there's some obstacles and some bad job numbers, we'll cover them. We'll explain to you the reason why and let you formulate an output yourself. This is the fact show. It's not the bullshit show. You want that, you can watch mainstream media outlets. Folks, we do have this conflict of visions going forward, though. And you have a choice to make in November. Now, I don't, this is a global show. We have a good audience in Australia. We have an audience in Canada. We have an audience in Asia. It's a global show. And it's focused on basically U.S. politics.

44:03Fairly obvious. Hello, Captain Obvious. Thank you. I don't typically get into too many parochial regional politics issues. However, this bit on California here is important because it's not a regional parochial issue. When I discuss, as I've been for this show, this conflict of visions moving forward, the weaponized ideological left obsessed with power and the free market constitutional right obsessed with prosperity and growth, that conflict of visions is best summed up by showing you a real-world example of data. when one vision is fully implemented. California, can we all agree, everyone, Jasmine, everyone else, California has a super majority of Democrats.

44:47Republicans have almost no political power whatsoever in the state of California outside of isolated pockets. None. Not in the legislature. Certainly not in the governorship. The court system is dominated by liberals. California is their liberal, air quotes, utopia. It's a dystopia, but they'll tell you it's their utopia. Gavin Newsom's going to run for president. You have the governor of California, of course. You have this example right here. Here is a subset of data A, red states. Here's subset of data B, which is blue states like California. Why would you want this? Here's a tweet by CBS Sacramento.

45:24CBS, CBS, not a right wing outlet, OK? Finally acknowledging that the reason you're in California paying$700 for a gallon of gas, hyperbole, but you get the point. is not price gouging like the liberals keep telling you. This is CBS. They note, here's why. And no shocker, it's California gas taxes, labor and business costs, environmental programs, red tape regulations, and the state's unique fuel blend. They're driving up baseline prices. Now, you're sitting here on the show going, no, Sherlock. There are liberals reading this for the first time. you have a choice in the midterms. Do you want, keep that up a second, Justin, do you want more of this?

46:12Because this is what happens when you have a super majority of liberal lunatics. Do you want higher taxes? If the answer is yes, and you want to pay more for gas, vote for Gavin Newsom and the left in this election. Do you like high labor and business costs? Yes, I love paying more for labor and business. Okay, vote for the Democrats. Do you like excessive and ridiculous environmental programs? Vote for the left. What about red tape and regulations? That's your guy, Newsom and the Democrats. You have a test case in front of you. You have a natural experiment right now. This is what liberal, quote, utopia looks like.

46:53Here, you want another example? President Trump put this video on his true social. This is a woman in California at a fire hydrant. You're like, what is she doing? and he's like is she putting out a fire she is not if you're listening on apple or spotify thank you i always uh uh enjoy the audio show as well you should check that out but you should tune in at the 48 and a half minute mark where you can watch this lady apparently like doing like her laundry in a fire hydrant or something this is california i'm not telling you red states don't have a homelessness problem and don't have things like this happen everywhere.

47:36But the question is not, do they happen or not? The answer is yes, everywhere. The question is to what degree on the margin? California is one of the worst homelessness problems in the country. I thought this was utopia. Your gas prices are the highest. You're being suffocated by red tape. You got people doing their freaking laundry in a fire hydrant. They have like a Tide Pod in there. I mean, They didn't even wash it. Where's the detergent?

48:06Oh, so what? Ladies doing or washing a fire hydrant and they pay$5 ,000 a gallon a gallon. What's the big deal? Folks, even the things they do, even the things they do that they claim are like no-brainers. California's like, man, we should have high-speed rail. Like the Japanese, high-speed, everybody loves high-speed rail. They do? So if they love high-speed rail so much, then how come the high-speed rail project they've done in California, they can't finish it. It's way over budget. And by the way, the customer base for this thing is probably going to be crap. Because if people wanted it, a private sector company would have already moved in.

48:44This is just a quick snippet from 60 Minutes, no less. Ever since Barry Weiss went over, they've been doing more of these mainstream stories. It's still CBS, so you've got to be cautious. However, here's 60 Minutes interviewing these two knuckleheads in California about the high-speed rail project. When you see the price tag on this thing, why? Because the government's paying for it. And when the government takes people's money and gives it to other people, takes tax money and gives it to a, you know, whatever, a construction company for rail, they don't care about the cost. It's not their money.

49:15And they don't care about the quality of the project because it's not theirs either. They're not buying anything for themselves. The famous Milton Friedman line. Listen to the price tag on this thing, and there's still$90 billion with a B short. Check this out. As we speak right now, are the funds there to complete L.A. to San Francisco? The entire amount of money we need, not there today. But do we believe we can get those funds to get the project done? Absolutely. How much do you estimate it's going to cost to connect high-speed rail San Francisco to L.A.? Today, we estimate with the right optimization, just over$125 billion.

49:55I think$126 billion is the current estimate for that. That's more funding than Amtrak has received in its history and still leaves a shortfall of roughly$90 billion. That's a big gap to fill. It is a big gap to fill, but again, we have an understanding of how to get there and to fill that gap.

50:17do you believe it a hundred a little bit we got a little gap 120 billion another 90 90 folks you could have rebuilt basically a quarter of the infrastructure the entire state of california at those costs this is your utopia can you guys in california the democrats who are running this state to the ground. Can you guys do anything right? Folks, you have a test case, a natural experiment in front of you right now. Florida, California. People are moving to Florida. People moving out of California. Why? Well, taxes are just one of the reasons. Yeah, you're right. Quality of life, cost of living. Janie bag of donuts, not with a, using a Tide Pod to do a washing the fire hydrant on the corner?

51:10Which one? Oh, gosh, probably far less than that. That's a good point. Yeah, probably a fraction of what this freaking... And no one's going to even ride the damn thing. Here, this tweet went nuclear this weekend, too. So it went Marie Davidson. Just, again, to show you how insane government spending by Democrats, and to be honest, a lot of Republicans have contributed to this debacle too, okay? Here is the extent of how badly government spending has gotten out of control. In case you think, like, this is austerity or anything like that, put that tweet up. This won nuclear this weekend. U.S. population grew 6 % in the last decade.

51:53Okay. Federal spending grew 40%. Well, that's not adjusted for inflation. Yes, it is. That's real money. Not as bad as California, but you have to ask, where did all the money go? There it is. There's the chart. Where'd all the money go? The same place all government spending goes, because the government doesn't care about cost or quality. It's the Milton Friedman problem, folks. They're not spending their money. It's yours. So they don't care about the cost. But the problem with government is they're not even buying anything for themselves. They're buying these third-party items High-speed rail, all this So they don't care about the quality either If I steal your money and buy something for myself I don't really care about the cost Because I stole your money But if I'm getting a hotel room for it I want a damn good hotel room At least I care about the quality The government's buying a hotel room for someone else They don't even give a damn about the quality I mean, is this a hard math problem to figure out?

52:59Here was another little bit of tragic comedy this weekend. The Democrats are now finally admitting, decades later, that Obamacare, that they told you was going to bring costs down. I wish I had that made more. I shouldn't put it in the show. Obama over and over. We're going to cut costs, make health care more affordable. Yeah, that was bullshit. Showing you how everything the government touches on the economic front, they destroy. We do the military and law enforcement pretty good. Everything they touch, they destroy because they don't care. They told you Obamacare was going to reduce costs, high quality health care.

53:38Everyone was going to, hey, you got a car. You was like the Oprah show. Here's a piece in the Wall Street Journal quoting Democrat senators now admitting everything they told you about Obamacare was crap. Because when the government takes over health care and taxes people to give other people money for health care, they don't care about the cost of the health care. And they don't care about the quality of health care because it's not their health care either. The Democrats' Obamacare quagmire. They note in 2008, Obama pledged his health care plan with lower premiums by$2 ,500 a year for the typical family.

54:12But Senator Peter Welch, who signed the Wyden letter, conceded last fall that we did fail to bring down the cost of health care. The solutions the letter outlines would also fail to bring down cost. The senators propose reinstating costly enhanced subsidies. Wait, just stop right there. So the solution for Obamacare, what he told us, is we're going to tax the shit out of people, give the money to others to buy health care. So the solution, when that failed to control costs, obviously the third party payer problem I just described with cost and quality. Their solution is to tax people more, to give people more subsidies or other people's money.

54:56Oh, by the way, they also propose exploring the benefits of giving all Americans access to Medicare type choices. That's a great idea. That's working just great. Medicare, which is going bankrupt by their own nonpartisan actuarial standards. That's a great idea. Let's jam everyone into Medicare now.

55:19Folks, I told you we have this conflict of visions, man. It's sitting there right in front of you. We have these natural experiments. You can look at yourself. I know the liberals out there who only care about power and don't care about principles. You're beyond persuasion. But to the rank and file working Democrats out there who are interested in an alternative to the crazy, I'm just asking you, don't believe me. Believe the data. Do you want more California in Florida? Do you want more California in Alabama? Do you want more Obamacare subsidies? They said, why would we need more subsidies? I thought it was supposed to control costs.

55:54Subsidies are a cute name for tax dollars. Subsidizing other people with your tax dollars.

56:05Here was Lee Zeldin. I bring up Lee Zeldin for a couple of reasons. Again, I want to show you how this conflict of visions, how the media feeds into this, how the media gaslights by isolating you from the truth. I was upstairs with my daughter last night. We were watching a movie. and that movie, The Girl on the Train, popped up. So she's younger, so I had to turn up. But it made me think, you ever see Girl on the Train? It's a movie about gaslighting and how this husband's a crazy guy and he isolates his wife from the truth. So he gets his wife to believe she's the crazy person. And the way the whole thing breaks, in case you haven't seen the movie, is the wife runs into some lady on a plane who used to work with the husband who goes, hey, that never happened.

56:46And all of a sudden it all makes sense. I am really hoping this show is that moment for you. where I can present to you these two visions using data and say, do you want more of this? Because if you do vote for Gavin Newsom, you want tide pod lady in the fire hydrant. He's your guy in the midterms. Democrats are your guy, or you can complain about foul language in a tweet. Here's Lee Zeldin on CNN. Lee Zeldin's EPA administrator. I bring him up also because there's some discussion of him being the next attorney general. I covered that show on Friday. I think right now we're probably down to, I wrote down four names.

57:24I'm just telling you what I've been reading and hearing from a couple folks. Donald Trump, President Trump's going to pick who he wants. He doesn't need Dan Bongino for this. I'm just saying, I think you could probably narrow it down right now to Todd Blanche, who's acting. He may stay. Lee Zeldin, who you're going to see in a second. Janine Pirro, Judge Janine, who's the United States Attorney in D.C. and I've seen Alina Habba's name creep up. I love Alina. I think she's fantastic. Just a great person. Just telling you what I've read in the media. But here's Lee Zeldin as the EPA administrator.

57:55He's on CNN. And I want you to notice the gaslighting technique here. She's trying to tell him, hey, listen, this endangerment finding about basically pollution, like I can't believe you guys are challenging this. Like, what do you want, pollution? And then he notes a really simple, elegant point back. Hey, the graphic you keep showing about pollution from smokestacks had nothing to do with Donald Trump's executive orders and the administration's policies on the endangerment filing. It's from moving vehicles, not smokestacks. Like, you may want to tell people that. Check this out. I do want to start with the fundamental question that's at the heart of all this.

58:34I mean, do you accept the overwhelming scientific consensus that these greenhouse gas emissions are the biggest drivers of manmade climate change? Well, it's great to be on with you. First, it's worth pointing out that all eight or so images that you just posted on the screen have nothing to do with this week's announcement. What the 2009 endangerment finding had to do with was with regards to mobile sources, vehicles. This week's proposal to rescind the 2009 endangerment finding was with regards to mobile sources, vehicles. CNN's been using a lot of photos where they show smokestacks of stationary sources like power plants.

59:14That's not what we proposed. This is how when you see how these liberals are stuck in the girl on the train moment where she thinks she's the bad guy and it's really the husband. This is how they do it. They isolate you from the truth so you can never have your eyes opened. Ever. Remember Vanilla Scout? Open your eyes. What about BG Gruff? What about Justin for AG? Mr. President, Justin's interested. Throw his name in the... He's too busy running his hoodie company. You should start that. It's a good idea. You see how the gaslighting and the isolating people from the truth? Let's put up a picture of smokestacks.

59:55And people are like, oh my gosh, Lee Zeldin at the EPA? loves pollution from smokestacks, and then you find out the endangerment-finding challenge 8-4 has nothing to do with smokestacks at all? I'm telling you it on this show because we cut through the BS. I got another clip coming up of Zeldin, who I think would be an excellent choice for AG. I think all of them would be good. It's not my choice. It's the president's, but him going at it with Adam Schiff, an absolute clown. This is just for your comic relief. I got some more stuff coming up. Quick break here. I'm going to get to that. Folks, Simply Safe.

1:00:28Listen, you're looking at a home security system, please consider SimpliSafe. Let's be honest. Traditional home security companies can make protecting your home way harder than it needs to be. You don't need it to be really hard. You need it to be really easy. Long contracts, expensive monthly fees, and waiting around half a day for a technician. That's why I recommend SimpliSafe. Producer Jim recently received his SimpliSafe setup, has it installed in his home. He loves it. They gave him great customer service, and he talks about how easy it was to install. Don't lie awake at night listening to every bump and noise or stressing out while you're away from home wondering if you've locked everything up.

Here's Lee Zeldin. Again, I really like Lee. Again, disclosure, I've known Lee for a long time. I did an event with him once. He's a great guy. Ran for governor of New York. Almost pulled off a huge upset. Probably in the final four for, pun intended, the national championship game. What is it? Michigan and UConn tonight, right? Michigan and UConn for the championship. So we'll see what happens there. But however, he's probably one of the final people in the running.

1:02:22Here he is going at it with Adam Schiff. You know, just pencil neck clown. I can't stand this guy's shift. Check this out. What is it about this grant that you and EPA believe is problematic enough to freeze this funding and put potentially 31 ,000 children at risk? Senator, who is the grant applicant? This is to the city of Santa Ana. You have the biggest state, so I don't have to go through every single list of the grant. By the way, with that windup, by the way, I understand that you were an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. Oh, yeah. Well. I had to cut it there because did you guys, you guys, you see the shift response?

1:03:07You can see how he's totally caught off guard. Oh, yeah. He's like trying to be a smart ass. Meanwhile, he knows he just got completely wrecked. I like Zeldin a lot. I think all of these folks would bring a lot to the table. However, I'm going to tell you, I don't think President Trump is in any particular rush right now. He's got the DAG, Todd Blanch, acting in that role now. So there's not a continuity problem. These investigations are ongoing. I'm reasonably confident over the course of weeks and months, you're going to see more of these things that people say aren't happening, happening. So I don't think he's in any particular rush.

1:03:43It is, you know, I will say, just having direct experience, it's probably the most difficult job in D.C. Because you got to understand that when you're a cabinet head or a cabinet head equivalent, you know, you can kind of just top down, push things through. That's not the way it works in the Justice Department. The justice system is designed to work slowly. It's designed to work slowly. So it is a difficult job, but those people are really competent. We'll see where that goes. Folks, whoever the president winds up picking for the spot, one of the most challenging problems we're going to have moving forward is this anchor baby issue and birthright citizenship.

1:04:25I've been discussing it in the course of the past week because the Supreme Court is looking at this now. It hinges on those words subject to the jurisdiction thereof. We are going to have a really, really big national security problem. I can't emphasize this enough. in the United States, if the Supreme Court rules that you being born here, even to people who are here illegally, creates a constitutional right to citizenship, we're in a world of trouble. I played that clip by Theo Wald on Jesse Kelly's show last week where he suggests we may need a constitutional amendment backing that up. The question is, will we be able to even get that through?

1:05:04I'm not so sure. I hope so. This would be a huge problem. Think about what could happen happen here. You have these foreign enemies in the United States. I'm going to show you this tweet in a second, so stay tuned. This is important. In case you think, like, I'm just making this up and being overly dramatic. We can all agree the Chinese Communist Party is a known near-existential threat to the United States if they had unlimited power. They hate us, just like the Iranian Mullah class. They do. What a gift it would be to them to say, hey, get a couple of your citizens, legally, illegally, doesn't matter, find your way onto some U.S.

1:05:43territory or soil somewhere, have a baby, and basically you have the right to citizenship, the right to vote, the right to join the military, all of this stuff. You get the full portfolio of American rights, whether you did it the right way or not. The national security problems there are endless. The Supreme Court doesn't need lectures from me. I'm just telling you, like, please think this through. The threat here is real. Put up that tweet if you have the counterintelligence case. So this is Jenny Tehr on X. Huge. The Chinese-Americans accused of attempting to explode an IED at MacDill in Tampa were anchor babies for illegal parents, as reported by Mary Margaret Olihan.

1:06:26DHS nabbed the duo's parents on March 18th for illegal entry. Parents applied for asylum in 93 but were denied by an immigration judge who issued them a deportation order in 98. The Board of Immigration Appeals repeatedly denied their attempts to have their case reopened. Despite the repeated denials for status, they remained in the United States. Folks, you don't think there are other foreign countries watching this and paying close attention? The Constitution is not a suicide pact, as has been said many times. This is a huge national security issue. there's the article by Mary Margaret you can check out at Daily Wire folks the last year man was a big eye opener I gotta tell you ignorance is never bliss but when I talk about things on the show with appropriate context and with limitations and guardrails for obvious reasons a lot of it's based on the experience over the last year When I say things like, hey, the U.S.

1:07:37government is going to need good, solid private sector partnerships in space because space is that new frontier for warfare. I'm not kidding. We have to have some role in it. When I tell you that this anchor baby issue is going to open up a bunch of enemies of the United States, a way to just basically come in here and gain access to our institutions through a U.S. passport. I'm not kidding. They've already thought this through. The Constitution was not a suicide pact. You've got this conflict of visions. You've got these natural studies. You saw the Biden open border years versus the Trump closed border years.

1:08:14You see the economic growth now versus the 9 % inflation under Biden. You've seen the California, you know, five, six, eight,$10 a gallon gas, the Tide Pod lady and the washing her clothes and the fire hydrant. You've seen that. You've seen the U-Haul costs from California to Florida versus Florida to California, which I don't think happens at all. You have natural studies right now on Obamacare. We passed Obamacare. You can study what happened in the natural world. What happened? Costs went up so bad they need more of your tax money to pay for the exploding costs. You've seen it. now it's time you had the girl on the train moment where you meet that person who finally tells you the truth I hope this show is that person for you folks thanks again for tuning in I really appreciate it please download the Rumble app if you don't mind it is absolutely free go there follow our show it is free the Dan Bongino show you get a notification every day at 10am if you want to do it on the web too you can go to rumble.com slash Bongino Justin put together this handy dandy graphic.
