29:42Thank you, My Patriot Supply. OK. I know, man. Thank you, Chad. I know you guys and folks in the chat. You're part of my family. I've been with you guys for 10 years, a lot of you. Well, our guest coming up later, Patriot Dad. Is it Patriot Dad? You heard of this guy on X? He's fantastic. He's been a P1 forever, too. I love you all. I do. I say it all the time. I said it on Twitter this morning when the pod track rankings came out. You have no idea. My entire, everything good in my life comes from God first and you second. It does. Well, family second, obviously. But you get my point. I consider you part of my bigger family.

30:17I love you guys. You're the best. Okay, back to the show. There's no escaping. I'm not letting them escape this. You chose to campaign with this guy. So I'm talking to you black voters out there. Why? Why would you talk to black voters out there? Because I've been warning you for a long time that the Democrats don't care about you. I'm really sorry. Again, I'm not telling you like the Republicans are some elixir and panacea for all of your problems. We've screwed up stuff too. There's no doubt about it. I get that. I'm just telling you the cause of most of your problems in the black community.

30:50the cause of most of your problems. That, by the way, you're in the white community too, but you'll see why this is important now. Whether it's schooling problems, poor schools, whether it's if you, or maybe you don't do, but if you live in a high crime area, a poor economy, these are the Democrats doing this. There is no largely majority black community anywhere that's led exclusively by Republicans. No, they're all led by Democrats who are screwing you over. They're using you for power. They don't care about you. They will send your kid to the crappiest schools in the country on a whim just because they can.

31:24They don't care about you. Here's Hassan Piker. Why do I keep playing this guy? Because they're trotting this guy out on the campaign trail. They love him. The same party that claims to be a big advocate for black civil liberties, civil rights, black empowerment. Really? I want you to listen to this guy again, ladies and gentlemen, in his own words, how he really feels about you, the black voter out there. Check this out. What the fuck would black people care about? Oh, black people care about this. Black people care about that. Like, shut the fuck up. That's not how politics works. Oh, well, Hassan, how dare you like it or not?

31:59Black people care about this issue. It's like it's such a fucking stupid stance. Any other black folk want to engage in radical activist language in this fucking chat? Suck my. Yes, dude. It's because I'm racist. that's why it's because i'm racist dude go back to a better time when lynchings were happening this is what i like as a black man are you always doing too much with black people leave them alone i want to go back to lynching like i get it but relax man shut the up okay god damn you got me okay you got me because i'm a racist person that's just his words guys ladies that's just his words I want you to understand nobody, just like nobody forces the media onto Air Force One or into motorcade knowing there's a danger.

32:44Nobody forced prominent Democrat candidates for Congress and the United States Senate, not for Dog Catcher, to go and campaign with this guy. Nobody. They did it because why? Producer Jim, we haven't done this for a while. Because they wanted to. Because they love him. again black voters out there i am not telling you like the republicans are going to solve every one of your problems tomorrow that we haven't had issues with knuckleheads too we just want to a whole primary process kicking knuckleheads out of our movement who are professing some of the same bullshit about different racial and religious groups we try we are trying desperately to clean this mess up.

33:28Not only are they not trying to clean this mess up on the left, they're bringing the mess in the sandbox. They're taking a dump in their own sandbox. Yeah, yeah. Hassan, come on in. Blackford, we don't give a shit about Blackford. Lynchings? What?

33:50J.A. Walsh, wasting your show with that. No, no, man. No, no, no. No, I'm sorry. Slater Storm, why give time to this stupid? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I love you in the chat. I appreciate your opinion. I'm sorry. You're wrong. You know damn well if there was a Republican Party candidate who had said those exact same words or someone who is campaigning with any Republican Party candidate. It doesn't even matter from city council to president. You know damn well this would be an intergalactic cosmic scandal. No. They want us so badly, so badly to not talk about this. No, I'm sorry. I'd have to lose every listener before I did.

34:42No way. There are no tradebacks. You can attack me. I am absolutely gluing this to them because they chose this, not me. Now, I've been telling you, black voters, Jewish voters, voters and Asian voters, the left hates you. They cannot stand you. They hate your guts. They are deceiving you. I want you to watch this clip that was just unearthed by Mamdami. Was this N-Wokeness? I'm on a hat tip, right? I think who found this. Another good account on X to follow. You know, we like to hat tip here. here's mom dami a while ago a pre uh pre-mayor here's him talking about how they use validators to go into the white progressive community to incorporate them into like their islamo fanatic unholy alliance and how they make it comfortable for white progressives and others to like detach themselves solely from ideology and run on identity alone.

35:47They're playing you for fools. How do I know that? Because they're proud of it. They openly talk about it. Don't listen to me. Listen to them. Listen to this clip by Mamdami. If there was ever a clip that nails the unholy alliance between progressive communists and Islamo fanatics, this is it. And there's validators and bridges between the two, Mamdami being one of them, in the middle. Check this out. The interesting thing about our communities here is I think that minority communities, because we have never had representation, we are tied much more to identity. White communities, they've had representation forever.

36:25And so for them, their tie is a little less identity and a little more ideology. And so what I mean by that is we have a lot of voters here who think of themselves first as progressive voters. And so we reach out to them speaking about our platform, our progressive platform. and you're very right that you need someone in the middle to be a validator someone to tell them to trust us believe in us thank you to the person in the chat i'm sorry it goes so fast i missed it who said listen man dan shows about the truth if you're not for it like the show's not for you that's okay man that's that's okay it's okay look there's a son piker i didn't even put this in the show with bernie sanders and aoc you don't get to run away from this this is the truth folks you have to understand i get why people in the chat might say that like damn we already know this guy piker is crazy like folks how many times i have to tell you this that debating the modern left is always about the third party what do you mean it's the hard left people are done they're in a cult they're never they're like the people who believe all these crappy conspiracy theories in folex maga you're not going to convince them so why talk about it you're like well i already get it and if they're not going to listen why because i promise you There are this audience right now.

37:40It's 39 minutes in. There's almost 48000 people here on the show. This is a stadium full of people. There are people in here for the first time who've never heard this stuff. They're like, my gosh, like I'm a black or Asian or Jewish voter. And you're telling me like the Democrats are campaigning with guys who apologize for rape and openly say like they don't really give a shit about black voters and talk about them in the most racist way possible. Yes. Yeah. That's the first time they've seen it. and i saw you i was reading the chat again with the voices of the dems this guy mom donnie's voices his voice changes his accent the way he speaks to people depending on the crowd why does he do that because he knows he's talking to a bunch of progressive libs who are suckers and love to hear this oh my gosh look he's speaking with a foreign accent or dialect he must be some kind of genius or something.

38:35God forbid he was like an evil white man or something like that. So they fake it. It's all fake. Matter of fact, we got a follow-up from yesterday. Andy, did you put this together? You know our segment, Voices of Dems.

38:56And I'm running for president of BSG. There are a few reasons that we're running this campaign this year. One has to do with representation. How can we represent all voices in a conversation? I want to do this by partnering with organizations from the Putin Democrats to the Putin Republicans. And gun lobbyists might win. But all that was good news for us. I don't know how long this Saturday in the state of Tennessee might last. This is the worst one yet. But all we have good news, folks. This is the worst one yet. We've got good news that Sunday always comes.

39:36Muttley's in the chat. See, I do change my voice for Muttley's in the chat. That's the best one yet. Muttley's in the chat. Tear it up. That's the best one yet. That's the same guy. Why do they do that? Why do they do that? Because they're hustlers. They're gamers. They're scammers. That's it. That's a lot of Muttleys. Tear it up. Melt that chat down with the Muttleys. Melt it down. Burn that chat to the ground. That's who these people are. To black voters out there. You notice how this guy Pearson and Mamdami, they openly admit they're trying to recruit you into this identity politics thing and divorce you from any sound ideology you may be subscribed to.

40:32that they're just playing you. Do you want to get played? The Republican Party message, for the good ones, not the bad ones, is the same for everybody. The right to defend yourself, the right to life, free, fair economy, relatively low taxes, controlled spending. It's the same message. We don't speak differently to black audiences about a black message and a white message. Why do you allow this to happen, man? And not only that, they lie to you about replacement theory stuff, too. Oh, my gosh. Those evil Republicans and replacement theory. Here's some, Mike, I don't know if this was hidden camera or what.

41:14They're at some little speech these two lunatics are giving. One of them's a New York State Assemblywoman. The other one's a congressional candidate. And they're openly talking about how they use illegal immigrants for political power. Political power against who? against you. If you were a member of the black community in a minority district run by Democrats, I want you to understand that they are using illegal immigrants to dilute your vote. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a simple math problem. Listen to me. Let's just use easy, small, round numbers. If 10 people voted in an election for Congress, and then you double that pool to 20 people, you add 10 illegal immigrants onto the ballot to vote, then your vote is worth half.

42:02not hard easy to figure out correct listen to them openly talk about this stuff they are giving you the double barrel middle finger bro i'm sorry just listen to their own words check this out to this country my parents moved to florida and that was a very different political context in which to to to be call yourself a socialista right um and so i understand that you know sometimes because of our own safety, because of the political context, because of your power, you know, you may not be as out and proud or active in particular roles that may be public in your politics. But what I do want to say is that there are so many ways in which you can be involved behind the scenes in small ways.

42:49Part of the work that I did and the reason I moved to Queens was because I saw the political power that undocumented workers and undocumented people in Queensville buildings. And, you know, I see some compañeros here that I work with at night, Barbara, shout out, compañera, who were part of this movement, right? And so I know deeply and personally and firsthand that you don't have to have papers to have power, right? You don't have to have papers to have power. Actually, that's not the way this works. You actually do have to be a citizen to vote in federal elections. You actually do. But they don't care because they're attacking you.

43:33These are people running in blue districts. I mean, yes, the attack is on the American system of government, granted, point stipulated. But the specific parochial attack is on you in your neighborhoods. Who is you? Black voters, Hispanic voters, white progressive voters. You are getting smoked by a bunch of people from foreign countries that are here illegally that they are using for power. They openly talk about it. What part of you getting your political balls kicked in and being mocked and humiliated by people you think are your advocates and champions, what part of that doesn't bother you?

44:12You're a sucker. You're a sucker. Maybe that's not the easiest message for you to hear But sometimes the syrup of Ipecac is the only way you're going to throw this poison up I don't know what else to tell you, man They're telling you to your face They don't give a shit about you And I'm not, folks, we're not letting this go To the guy in the chat who said that before, correct This show is about the truth and is about getting the message out to voters out there who are still up in the air and are confused and think the Democrats are the party of coexistence, bumper stickers, and tolerance. They're not the party of any of that.

44:55They're the party of destroying the constitutional republic through the death and destruction of socialism. And that's it. Put an exclamation point on it. And I'm not falling for this, oh, it's just like the Tea Party stuff. I said that to you before. I want you to watch this clip. This is Scott Jennings. He's on one of the weekend shows and he's debating Donna Brazile, who's a, you know, a pretty prominent Democrat activist. And Donna Brazile tries to make this analogy here, too, that, oh, this is just like the Tea Party. Jennings like, no, I don't recall the Tea Party voting to basically abolish the skeleton and muscles of the entire constitutional republic.

45:33I don't recall that. No one else does either because it never happened. Check this out. On the Republican side, whether it was through the Tea Party in 2010, the activists who helped to bring about the MAGA movement. And with all due respect to my friend Donna, there's nothing like you can't draw any equivalence between the Tea Party movement and the socialist. For one, the Tea Party folks weren't trying to bring about the downfall of Western civilization and the United States of America. Abolish the police, abolish ICE, abolish borders, abolish the Senate, abolish the Constitution. There was nothing like this in the Republican Party.

46:09So it's an extreme political ideology that is gaining traction. The Democrat leadership has lost control. They know it. And people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Hong in Wisconsin, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. You talk about the big tent. The Democrat Jewish Attorney General of Michigan cannot even go to her party's nominating convention because she says, I won't be safe there because of the supporters of Abdul El-Sayed. You can't draw any equivalence between what happened in the Republican Party with the resurgence of patriot conservatives versus these anti-American radicals. Thank you, Scott, for saying that.

46:50You are 100 percent correct. I don't matter of fact I would love it for Democrat activists Donna or anyone else to pin on my back a label this guy was a Tea Party conservative and still is I run from nothing, zero I am proud of every single thing I campaigned on and everything that movement represented to this day, period Why are you guys trying to divorce yourself if it's the same thing? No one, no Tea Party conservative I know is divorcing themselves from that movement. Why are you guys, why is AOC all woke one? Why? Because you know you lied to people. You know everything you said was BS because you simply wanted power.

47:37And ladies and gentlemen, a lot of these people on the left, they're starting to realize that the people who have empowered themselves in this Democrat socialist movement are idiots. Idiots. No, I mean like actual morons. They are idiots. This lady, there was that you may have seen this on cable news yesterday. I'm going to use a different clip because, you know, if you see it on cable news all day, you don't need to see it here. OK, this lady, which are named Megan Romerson. She is the DSA co-chair, Democrat Socialist of America. This is a very prominent person in their movement. I want to show you how their only goal is deception and power.

48:15That's it. They don't have any policy positions. Sure they do abolish it. They don't care about any of that, folks. They're saying whatever needs to be said to get power. And if they have to abolish the Senate, they will. If they can use the Senate to take power, they'll love the Senate tomorrow. They don't know anything. Their only goal is power. I need you to understand that. I know this sounds crazy. They will flip on a dime, just like AOC, do the takia and lie to you about anything. If it polls better tomorrow that they shouldn't abolish the Senate, but expand the Senate to 7000 members, they'll say that tomorrow, too.

48:50They don't stand for anything. Only power. Listen to this numb nuts as David Remnick from the New Yorker, who's no conservative at all, by the way, starts asking a simple question about like Russia and Ukraine. And this absolute imbecile says like Russia is a hyper capitalistic kind of Russia. Vladimir, hyper capitalist. She actually said that. And she's like, I don't recall any diplomacy with Ukraine. Really? I don't either. I never saw that. I didn't. There was none. This actually happened. This is how stupid these people are. Check this out. I believe in pouring U.S. money, military weapons into anything.

49:29We don't think it makes it better anywhere. But obviously, Russia is this oligarchic dictatorship, which is hyper capitalist. And Putin is this crazy right wing oligarch. of course he is going to make horrific human life-ending decisions. Well, this is precisely why those countries wanted to be in NATO? Yes, but why aren't we doing any amount of actual diplomacy? Why aren't we doing any amount of actual sending actual human beings to talk to human beings and figure out what I don't understand what kind of there's been all kinds of this diplomacy, however, failed since the beginning of the invasion.

50:18We shouldn't send weapons to the Ukrainians. No. So just allow Russia to overrun Ukraine entirely. We should be sending huge teams of diplomats. We should be figuring out how to negotiate, how to get Russia off Ukraine's back. We should. Yeah, absolutely. So Russia would get off of Ukraine's back by us sending diplomats? I don't think that there is adequate negotiation. I don't think that there has been anywhere near adequate diplomacy.

50:47I love that you ended with Remnick's face. Remnick's confused. Like, is this woman an idiot? There have been no efforts at diplomacy in the Russia-Ukraine war? did you miss donald trump and putin their their whole summit did you miss zelinski at the white house multiple times did you miss the multiple delegations of u.s representatives going over to ukraine everyone from oh oh my gosh they actually have video justin god forbid you show receipts This clearly is AI. President Trump and Putin with Air Force One in the back. That didn't happen. Megan Rumer said, oh, look at it. There's Alinsky at the White House in the famous meeting that was only worldwide news.

51:35These people are imbeciles. This lady's an idiot. You want to put this lady in charge with Hassan Piker and others and you want us to walk away from it? Like they're running with these people. folks they don't know anything they are idiots yeah and that's true obviously i love when they say obviously you know who else does that too obviously they say that as if you're dumb with them obviously there hasn't been enough diplomacy did you miss all this did you ever read this thing called the newspaper you can actually read it on your phone you know try anything the daily news the la times the wall street journal the boston globe anything just go put before you answer the question was there any diplomacy in ukraine and chat gpt no none no one no one did anything they just sat on the silence are you insane folks everything they tell you is stupid uninformed ridiculous and is meant only as a bridge i use that word intentionally to sucker you to get them to give you power so they can F you over hard.

52:43Take your money, take your kids, take your property. Remember the activists on that high tops video, the LGBTQ thing. We got to catch the kids early. Take them at their word. They're not kidding. I saw this video floating around yesterday. This lady trying to defend Mom Dami and his government supermarkets in New York City, government supermarkets. What is this? The Soviet Union government supermarkets she doesn't even know anything about the plan she's like yeah mom Dami's gonna be able to sell groceries for cheaper than people who actually sell groceries for a living but not because there's any taxpayer money involved he's just like a super genius who figured it out really all the guy did who debunks this stuff is goes and pulls the documents and shows.

53:30This lady's just an idiot. Check this out. I don't understand how Mom Donnie can afford to sell groceries at 30 % less if most grocery stores operate at a 1 % to 2 % profit. You said it yourself. You don't understand. First, it's not hard to understand how Mom Donnie is going to sell groceries at a 30 % discount. They're just going to use the city's money to subsidize the groceries. There's nothing that says the costs of these groceries are going to be fueled by your tax dollars. If you're saying that, you're just making it up. Well, let's just look at the official published documentation for program operators.

54:05It says that New York City Economic Development Corporation, in collaboration with the city, will deploy various resources to make the partnership successful and financially sustainable for grocery store operators. In addition, New York City Economic Development Corporation will provide operating financial support to the operators in the form of an affordability payment subject to the operator's compliance with the terms of any executed agreements, blah, blah, blah. They're also going to provide financial support to the operators to mitigate operating deficits attributable to discounted core basket sales and enable cost effective program delivery.

54:43That's what I mean when I say she didn't really look into the issue at all. It's the official documented plan of the city that they're going to pay the grocery store operators to achieve the 30 % discount. How else would that work? Hat tip, I think so on X. All you had to do was look it up, man. That's it. I know sometimes it's painful for people to have this awakening moment like clockwork orange style, man, eyes wide open. Like, man, I've been lied to. These Democrats are bullshitting me about everything. They're bullshitting me so much. And when you look up the Democrats, the Mamdami administration's own documents, it says the opposite of what this lady's saying.

55:24I know it's tough for you to look in the mirror and say, gosh, I'm an idiot. I know that's hard. There's going to be a reckoning there. I understand. I know that's got to be tough for you, but it's got to happen because you are, in fact, an idiot.

55:41Folks, even the Washington Post is now starting to admit that this whole government stealing people's money, taxing people to death, and spending endless sums over and over. Even the Washington Post is starting to admit this is going to result in an apocalypse. When this is appearing in the Washington Post, look at the date, August 10, 2026, not from 10 years ago. when America's budget will break disastrously, telling you something I've been telling you the entire time. The national debt and the amount of money we're spending that the Democrats want to add to now to spend more is already unsustainable.

56:18By 2030, we reach a breaking point where we can no longer pay the bills if something drastic doesn't change. Can you imagine what it's like for the Washington Post to have to admit this? We got a choice coming up. We have a choice in this election. And you know what's happening I'm finding now? The doomers and the grifters, again, with the demoralization ops on our side, they just can't stop. They don't want you to vote. They want to let the other side take over. You got a freaking death cult in the Massachusetts governor's office. This Governor Healy just signed a bill to allow abortion like up to birth.

56:55That's got a name. It's called homicide. Like that actually happened. And we're getting lost with the nothing is happening Doomers and bullshitters on our side Are you kidding me? Folks, we gotta focus, man This fight we're involved right now is real The republic's at stake, man This isn't like hyperbolic language Just listen to the people trying to destroy Put up that tweet This is real, look at this Proudly, look, they all start clapping Massachusetts Governor Mara Healy Signs the bill for abortions up to birth As Democrats celebrate Hot tip, Life News HQ on X. They're all clapping. This is great.

57:33We get to murder children. This is the death cult. And we're getting lost with the doomers and the gloomers and the nothing is happening crowd. I'm going to get to more, some of that tomorrow. I had a bunch of other stuff I want to get to, but I'm just running out of time. I just want to point out, too, this Daily Yeast complete loser who is just like obsessed. Listen, if this lady shows up at, you know, at my house or something, I'm going to have this Annabella Rischiglione, again, is really obsessed with it. She went after Mike yesterday, Alfonso. You know, Mike used to work for the show, saying like he's not qualified to run for Congress.

58:15This lady, I'd like to see her qualifications to run for Congress. Of course, that's the throw with eggs. She's really obsessed with this show and her bosses at the Daily Yeast, the tabloid, seem to really enjoy. So we'd like to see her qualifications. I'd like to see her qualifications to be commenting on if she is this authority figure. The way she went after Mike, you know, I got to tell you, was just one of the more disgusting. It shows you how this is nothing more than tabloid trash. But she's just obsessed with the show. Listen, Annabella, we're not going to date you. I'm sorry. They're already taken.

58:50We're not. You can keep trying, but we're just not going to do it. We're just not going to do it. Disgusting. All right, let me get to my spot comment of the day.

1:02:15No, listen, thank you, man. I mean, listen, people gave me a shot and I just feel an obligation. If it's really not about you, which it is not, then it's an obligation for people like us to pass that mantle and pass that torch on to other people as well. If people are getting out a good message, it's got to be about the message and you can't make yourself the focal point of it. I think that's a huge mistake. It's not a zero sum game. Yeah. Content wise, people have a podcast shelf and there's only a few they're going to listen to, but that doesn't prevent you from following the account on X and watching five minutes of this and five minutes of that.

1:02:51So I really enjoy your stuff. I find you to be so level headed in this environment. And when I say this environment, this is kind of my first question you know i i saw this a lot i i had left for a year obviously went into the fbi and had to be very circumspect in what i would put out you and it's not about you anymore i was working for the administration you know i did very few media appearances i think it was four or five that was it in the in the year i'd been gone but i i watched and i i really couldn't believe some of the stuff that was happening it was like we won the maga side won and the movement instantly fractured.

1:03:25And you had this group of people out there just pumping out every garbage conspiracy theory known to man. I found you to be one of the level-headed guys saying, well, is there any evidence for that? And the technique they use, which I think you saw there, I haven't even seen you explain this a lot, is they overwhelm you with information, but they underwhelm you with actual evidence. It reminds me of the usual suspects. You know, we can put you in Queens at the night of the robbery. Yeah, I live in Queens. You figure that out by yourself or you You got a team of monkeys working around the clock.

1:03:54We got to learn to see through that. Yeah, I mean, it's obvious. It's everywhere. It's totally pervasive. And it became evident almost from day one when Donald Trump stepped into office back in January of 2025 that there was a strategy at play. The strategy is very simple. It's to dazzle you with a bunch of information and then to totally underwhelm you with evidence. And you saw it with the Epstein hoax. You saw it with the Candace Owens stuff that's going on. You see it with the foreign intelligence operations that's happening. It's not about accuracy for most of these people. It's about clicks and engagement.

1:04:29And there's nothing more engaging in social media today than just throwing a bunch of information out and then letting people run with it. I mean, can you imagine sitting around at the end of the day? I couldn't. Dan, I don't think you could either. There's no way I could go to sleep every night, lay my head down and feel good about knowingly lying to people all over social media. And yet that's what works, unfortunately. So it's going to require those of us who actually care about honesty, integrity, the truth, making sure people are accurately informed when they go into the voter booth to cast ballots.

1:05:03It's going to require that we do the long, hard work of digging into what these people are saying and exposing it for what it is. It's an intelligence operation. It is an effort to dismantle, distract and totally divide the MAGA base. And I'm not going to let it happen. And there's a lot of us out here that refuse to allow a few grifters because that's what they are. Let's be totally honest. They are grifters. They are following the engagement, what I call the click bucks all over social media and anywhere that they can. Now, some of them obviously have a much more nefarious agenda. You know, we saw this with like the Thomas Massey's and and the Epstein hoax stuff.

1:05:44Thomas Massey didn't give a crap about Jeffrey Epstein. He couldn't have cared less until it became very politically expedient for him and the agenda that he was pushing. And interestingly enough, I found this one of the things that I love to do. My team and I on the Patriot Source podcast, we love to dig into specific topics and just drive them home as much as possible. And would you be surprised to find out that Thomas Massey didn't start caring about the Epstein files until almost the exact same time that the Trump administration announced that we were going to bomb Iran? We were going to take out their nuclear facilities.

1:06:18And then you start to find relationships with people like Trita Parsi and the Quincy Institute and Ro Khanna. And then you know where that money is coming from and you can see it developing right in front of your eyes. The question is, do people have the attention span to actually dive into the information? And that's what we're going to try to help them to do. So that's what we do day in and day out, day in and day out, because it's important. Our country is under attack by a group of authoritarians who want to take control after Donald Trump leaves office. And the only way they can do that is if they destroy him now.

1:06:56You know, Patriot Dad, that's why you didn't see a concerted effort like this in Trump 45, his first term. They knew he was going to run again. And there was a fear of taking him on because they knew if they were to encounter him in a primary that they would probably get smothered. They would get politically crushed. So you didn't see it as – of course they were – you know, they were Trump-hating. I'm talking about within our own tent. The left's always hated him. Granted, we get all that. We're not talking about them for now. We're talking about what I call Folex MAGA, you know, the fake Rolex MAGA, the people who pretended to be part of our tent tomorrow.

1:07:32They largely stayed quiet because they realized the political power of this new MAGA movement, the incorporation of large groups of minorities for the first time that Donald Trump had built a coalition they had talked about, but they never successfully done themselves. so they stayed quiet now that they know he's term limited and can't run again now you see this just explosion of the doomers and the grifters but i i mean i listen i'm i'm a rose-colored glasses guy i am i'm i'm an optimist call me crazy but i've been in the business a long time i want to be dramatic about like sean's been around like 30 years longer mark levin and others these are guys who gave me my shot but i've been around a little over 10 years now you know i've been through the the huckabee santorum fights the mid romney primaries the desantis trump fights i mean i've been through all these before and i i find what happens is voters are pretty pretty smart people they get it after a while sometimes they do fall in the trap you and i are seeing it now they'll fall for some of the stuff because it's you know it appeals to emotion i mean some people get sucked into a vortex but eventually people get tired of being lied to you see it on the left and the right.

1:08:43So what happened with Rachel Maddow after her 4 ,000 tees about how we got Trump this time. Eventually, people just kind of gave up on her. You know, I think that's going to happen here in this movement, too, because all of the people you just cited have claimed all of these things. I'm going to read all these animals. And then they never actually did it. So sooner or later, it's either like, get it done or get off the bowl. You know what I'm saying, brother? Like, get it done. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's exactly right. I think most reasonable people after being gaslit to the extent that we're being gaslit, they just make a conscious decision like I'm not going to follow this anymore.

1:09:19If you can't deliver the receipts two, three, four, five times in a row, it's time to move on. There's one challenge to that. And that's why I do think that the people who are spending the majority of their time on social media trying to debunk this stuff, there's one challenge to that. One thing that Candace Owens does really, really well, She's incredibly effective at it is she makes her audience feel like they are part of what she's doing. And the psychology, Dan, you know this. I mean, you studied psychology. You understand how this works. Instead of just going out and just throwing slop on the table, she's bringing people in to her movement, into what I call a cult.

1:09:57I mean, there's no doubt about it. It acts and behaves exactly like a cult would behave. And she's and she's enabled this group of people to become these mommy sleuths. And now everything that she says, they now become advocates for because they feel like they're connected to it. But the problem is most people aren't. So when they see things like I just saw just yesterday, she just posted a photograph of someone that appears to be Tyler Robinson walking through a garage that was shown at the evidentiary hearing. And it is obvious to anybody paying attention that the photograph that was shown was clearly manipulated.

1:10:31And yet you still have people on social media who will die on the hill that because she posted it, it's got to be real. Those are people who are invested in what she's doing. But that's not going to last for long. You're going to have maybe a handful of these people who are who are making money hand over fist doing this. You're going to have some of the 9 a.m. Mommy Wino Club people who wake up and they that's all they do all day. But people understand that we have really important things to deal with in this country. We have an economy that is getting ready to explode because of what Donald Trump is doing in the economy.

1:11:07We have this existential threat happening in America where communists and socialists, really what I've started to consider the politics of confiscation, has decided that now is the time to make their move to try to take over the Democrat Party. Just take it out. I mean, they think that this is the perfect opportunity for it. So it's going to take reasonable minded people willing to say we're not going to be distracted by this. We can engage in it. We can communicate on it. We can debunk things when they come up. But we've got an election to win, folks. There's a midterm coming up in just a couple of months.

1:11:45And we have very real issues we're going to have to deal with. And most of us are just going to put Candace Owens in a rearview mirror at this point, because honestly, she's just wasting time. Give our buddy Patriot Dad a follow on X at Patriot Dad EV77. It's worth your time. You just kind of nailed home a point I'm very concerned about. The Doomer Grifter strategy, again, in Folex Mag is very clear. It's constantly tell people nothing's happening. Ignore the closed border, the crime numbers, the just explosion in the manufacturing index, the the the onshoring again of high quality got electricians making 250k a year working at some of these cloud computing data centers we're putting together listen I'm not a huge fan of tariffs but there's a lot of money's been generated from tariffs that could potentially be used to offset income taxes and more damaging forms of taxes so there are a lot of things going on saying nothing is happening now now it's fair to say i don't like what's happening that's i don't agree but it's totally fair that's it you have your right to an opinion like i do but to say nothing is happening is just nonsense it's just indicative of your own ignorance or your ability to lie to people i think the the biggest problem i have with this whole thing is what you just said though the fight we're having now with the democrats is not the fight we have with the bill clinton democrats not a fan of bill clinton but the guy gave a speech saying the era big government is over.

1:13:15You say that now, you'd be tarred and feathered in the Democrat party. We're fighting people now talking about abolishing prisons, defunding the police, talking about how rapes don't bother them on October 7th, how we deserve 9-11. They're campaigning with this guy. I mean, these are not milquetoast policy positions. These are positions that if these kind of people and their associates are to get into office, You're talking about the actual destruction of the republic as we know it. And we're getting distracted by dooming and grifting and just straight up lied. Nothing is happening. It's just crap.

1:13:51Yeah, I mean, it is very clearly the destruction of the Western civilization. That's their stated objective. That's the goal. And you can see it in just about every policy position that they present. You can see it when they talk about things like abolishing the Senate. There is zero constitutional method by which you can abolish the Senate. As a matter of fact, the Senate is the only institution that, according to the Constitution, cannot be abolished. You can change it. But Article 5 of the Constitution very clearly lays out that the state is guaranteed its suffrage in Congress, which means that you cannot abolish the Senate.

1:14:32The only way that you could possibly do that is for full-scale revolution. It's the elimination of the Constitution of the United States. That's it. There's no other mechanism. And the fact that they are boldly communicating that that's what they want to do should tell you everything about who these people are. And the fact that they think the time is now for them to make their move should also tell you the condition of the adversary of the Democrat Party. They feel like they have the perfect opportunity to take over the entire Democrat Party so that they can own a political party and then drive their message.

1:15:05Folks, this is an existential threat. Candace Owens, what's happening in social media is incredibly important. But when you go out and look to try to find out what exactly these people are planning to do to this country, I came across an article that was written not too long ago, and it was it was effectively. What was it? I think it was Project 2028. I think it was. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it was an article written by two DSA members. and they talk about what they plan to do when DSA gets into office in 2028. And it is full on revolution. It is full confiscation of the means of production.

1:15:44It is freezing assets so people can't leave. It is eliminating every tenant of our republic that you can possibly think of. This is the fight. This is what we need to be focused on. And that's what we are focused on here at the Patriot Source podcast. and I try to tailor a lot of my content on is helping people understand that despite the rhetoric that we're seeing from the politics of confiscation, people aren't buying it. I mean, if you looked at what makes up the Democrat Socialists of America, less than 5 % of their membership are people who actually build things, people who are actually helping to grow this economy.

1:16:23Blue collar workers, skilled tradesmen are the ones who are watching their incomes increase four or$5 ,000 over the last year. They're the ones who are in fact, becoming entrepreneurs and are taking those skilled trades and they're turning them into businesses. They are largely the means of production in the country. It is those, it is those skilled people who are building the data centers, who are building the cloud computing, who are, who are literally building the manufacturing base that Donald Trump is revitalizing through the American system of political economy. These are the people that are going to be the targets of the politics of confiscation.

1:17:02And I think they're smart enough to realize that when communists and socialists talk about confiscating the means of production, they're talking about confiscating your means of production, not some obscure billionaire who's got most of his money and commodities and assets somewhere. They're talking about the plumber, the engineer. They're talking about the electrician, the people who put risk, put skin in the game, went out, opened a business and are now thriving in an economy that is basically where we are effectively using the same process that was used to build the country after the revolution, the same process that was used to rebuild it after the Civil War.

1:17:40It's the process that McKinley used, that Lincoln used to rebuild, revitalize the middle class. And I think when people see what the politics of confiscation promises, they realize that it will never be successful because the American system of political economy that Donald Trump is amplifying is the only thing that actually works to rebuild the middle class. And that's the reason why when people ask me, has Donald Trump ever done anything wrong that you disagree with? I'm like, yeah, sure. Totally. I mean, there's a lot of things about Donald Trump that I don't necessarily align with 100%. I mean, I am a born again, spirit filled Christian.

1:18:15And sometimes he says things that, let's be honest, kind of make me feel a little weird. But I agree in his agenda. And I agree in the results that I've seen. And I understand where he's going. And if the Republican Party can find it somehow within themselves to recognize that the only way that this republic survives is if we focus on rebuilding this country from the ground up, not destroying it through the politics of confiscation and socialism and communism. Yeah. And listen, they're not they're not hiding it. I mean, if you want to know what the Democrat socialist agenda is, just ask them. I mean, they'll tell you.

1:18:55It's not like anything you just said. The patriot dad made up abolish the Senate, abolish. I say just go put that in Twitter in the search bar and you'll see it. And you also said something else I think is really important. You know, if you think, oh, well, you know, I'm middle class and I'm safe from this. Abdul El-Sayed, the socialist candidate in Michigan who just won a major party Senate nomination, just openly said like, no, no, we're basically going to tax the middle class, too, to take away your health care, to give it to the government, to control your health. Like he just admitted it.

1:19:31But this is one of the point I wanted to make on this, too, is one of the reasons I'm so bothered and the thing I if I had to triage my concerns, triage my concerns right now, it is the incorporation into Folex MAGA of leftist victimhood. This idea that some collective group of people, not an individual, but a collective group of people must have done this thing to you that led to this position you're in. the Jews have done it the evangelicals have become a target lately Protestants I am neither of those things I'm Catholic and I say to people all the time Patriot that I say listen this to me is not about the Jews it's not it's about collective guilt like this never goes anywhere but death, destruction, torture.

1:20:25We've had Holocaust, mass exterminations in communist countries. I mean, what else do you what historical example do you need me to point out? And the fact that I've seen this same technique leveraged by people pretending to be on our side where every single problem like now it's like the Hunter Biden laptop. It's like the Jews that you're like, holy Moses, like at what point do we realize like this is a leftist technique to get a bunch of people into a corner of like a WWE ring and just like beat the crap out of each other, except it's real. You know, like you cannot fall for this. This to me is a public threat.

1:21:04Number one within our own tent. I completely agree. And you're absolutely right. It is a technique. It's a technique that's been borrowed from the radical left because correct. You can see it work. I mean, you can see it deployed. So you can see when people in social media are using the exact same tactics of the left. And we should not be surprised by this. I mean, folks, you understand that when the Democrat Socialists of America broke off from the International Socialist Organization and then connected themselves directly into the Cuban radicalization networks, they started developing this strategy of, Dan, you're familiar with a guy named Antonio Gramsci, who's kind of sitting in fascist prisons.

1:21:47He developed this framework that helped revolutionaries understand why they were not able to take over the West. In fact, what he said is, you're not going to be able to destroy a Christian nation until you destroy the culture. And the only way to destroy the culture is to break the cultural hegemony, the thing that makes the country who they are. So you have to go after the collective mindsets, the values that the country collectively believe in, Christian values, moral values, capitalist values. You have to go after those things collectively. You have to go after the relationship between the United States and Israel.

1:22:26Are there things that are going on in Israel that you probably disagree with? Yeah, maybe. Sure. But they are one of our best allies. They are one of our best partners in the Middle East. That is a relationship that they have to break. And And unfortunately, the the people that make up what I have referred to as Faga, fake ass, gay ass Americans, these people who these people who are black pillars, they understand exactly, exactly how to use the same tactics. You have to break the hegemony. And Dan, one thing I'll say. So right after right after the Charlie Kirk assassination, my team and I were starting to dive into what happened in that event.

1:23:06And one of the things that we came across was a blog post written by an Antifa organization. And in that blog post, they talked about how in order to break the hegemony of the conservative right who were who were basically becoming united because of that event, they were going to use Israel as the wedge to do it. And you should not be surprised to find when people who are obviously operating on behalf of foreign intelligence operations are using the same tactics that people like Antifa were talking about right after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It's a strategy. It's a tactic. And unfortunately, it's working for some people.

1:23:43But I do think a lot of people are starting to wake up, Dan. I think that they have had enough of being lied to. They've had enough of the propaganda. And they realize that we're at a critical junction in our country's history. It's either going to be authoritarianism or it's going to be rebuilding the middle class in the American economy. You can't do both at the same time. And I think people know that. Yeah, I got to run. But I definitely share your optimism as, again, someone who's just as a function of time. I've been in this space for well over a decade. We've been a top performing show thanks to this amazing audience.

1:24:18I'd love them to death. but we we've never you know we've never let them down with sticking to a true north direction and i think when you do that it's it's cyclical at times like you're gonna see this creep up i've seen it at least two or three times there are various collective guilt movements they they they surface on the right you get like some bots in there's a lot of real people it's not all bots but you get a lot of bots a lot of foreign money that comes in i know you see it on twitter you put up a post you're like oh my god i can't believe all these people it's not real man it's not real whatever they do like a wipe out of the bot accounts you notice it goes down like it's almost non-existent after that so i'm just telling you someone who's been here a long time you know and i know you you don't need a lecture from me you're already there but just you know stay focused on being on the right moral arc of history and your show is always going to do well all this stuff always goes away i could tell you a thousand names of people you some of them you'll be like who the hell is that?

1:25:16And I'll be like, exactly. The person was a big thing four or five years ago, and now they're complete zeros. You can find them on X at Patriot Dad EV77.
