Obama Says The Unthinkable (Ep. 2510)

27:41it's not over not even close justice takes time I know it doesn't make a lot of people happy that's okay you want it done right or you want it done fast because you can't have both we've seen what happens when you try to do things fast you want to have done correctly.

28:04I can't believe he said that.

28:09I'm so personally disgusted by what he did in his two terms. It was enough to get me to walk away from my prior job and run for office myself. I mean, you realize the level of disgust you have to have to walk away from your dream job as a Secret Service agent? That's all I wanted to do. That's all I wanted to do. I had three kind of dream jobs. I wanted to be a cop in the NYPD. I wanted to be an FBI agent or a Secret Service agent. Secret Service called first. Who knew later the FBI thing happened? You know what it took to walk away from that? On Cinco de Mayo in 2011 when I made the call? To hear this guy just disgrace himself again is just abhorrent.

28:52We didn't weaponize the government. Trump really. Trump team did it. You sure about that?

29:01okay we'll see when this trump presidency is over in four years and this process we'll see we'll see who's right and who's wrong i'm going to take a quick break and i've got one more thing from the nothing is happening file because this affects you directly and it is really important something really close to my heart but it is really really critical because you want to ruin a neighborhood overnight destroy the entire fabric in a neighborhood of a neighborhood this is the way to do it.

Folks, I grew up in New York City, lived in Maryland. You know my backstory, many of you. If you don't, I just told you in the smallest nutshell ever.

31:20Open air drug markets really pissed me off. Growing up as a New York City cop, as an agent, as the dep at the FBI, I was having none of it. Open air drug markets are a stain, an open sore. You go out, you get druggies. They're all with the fentanyl look. You know the fentanyl look? They're hungover. They can't stand up straight. They're crapping all over the street, throwing up. Kids are going to school. They're stepping on needles. I said, none of this. We're not doing it. We did these two big operations. You know, put them up first, the coast to coast. We did this coast to coast operation. We had our LA office, our New York office go out there, raid these open air drug markets, clean them up, lock these people up.

32:00I said, go in there heavy. Go in there strong. Get them out there. These were in December at the end of my tenure, at the end of the year. Another one was in Philadelphia. If you know the Kensington drug market, you know this was just a disaster, a disgrace, a plague in the community. We shut that down, too. Some great work up in Philly out of there. But yesterday, I want to give a hot tip to an agency outside of the FBI. This was a DEA-led operation. They do great work as well. They just crushed it out of MacArthur Park. You can see in this VO here, Matt Finn covered it at Fox. breaking 300 federal and local agents doing a raid at LA's historic MacArthur Park where open air drug use and fentanyl fold can be seen.

32:40You know the fentanyl fold on any given day when they're folded over? No, those days are over. I'm just trying to prove to you that, yes, me and Cash were both personally disgusted by open air drug markets. This is a Trump administration move though. This has led from the top. It's not just the FBI, it's DEA and others. They are out there doing the real work. Look at some of the imagery coming out of it. You got to go in there heavy. You got to go in there strong. This is bullshit. These are our communities. I don't want your kids stepping on little needles and, you know, God forbid, picking up some fentanyl pill off the street and dying and OD and accidentally think it's like a gummy bear or something like that.

33:16No, things are happening. Big things are happening. Huge things are happening. And I don't want anyone telling you otherwise. We have a midterm coming up. All this stuff is going to slow down if we elect these Democrats because the Democrats are going to do nothing but subpoena people, weaponize government again. They're just going to shut all this stuff down. You have a choice coming up in the election. Don't make the wrong one. While we're busy building coalitions and painting contrasts for the election, the Democrats want to turn back the clock. And they are running on one thing and one thing only.

33:50The Trump team is running on public safety, economic security, getting rid of the nuclear threat in Iran. The Dems are running on one thing, and it's getting really dangerous, folks. They are running on envy, and it's starting to create a really dangerous situation as we have multiple assassination attempts against President Trump. We've got a number of people out there, you know, say they're inspired by Luigi Mangione on the and the hit on the the health care CEO. We can't have this running on envy as an agenda is going to create a bifurcated society where I'm telling you this stuff is going to explode.

34:24This is what's going to lead to either a softer or hard civil war. We can't have it. I'm going to show you this Fox report. You'll see what I mean. This is involving the Palisades fire and a suspect in that case. I thought we were told the fire. The Palisades fire was climate change. It appears it was a combination of, however, government incompetence, and there is a suspect arsonist in the case. Again, everyone's innocent until proven guilty. However, I want you to listen to the Mangione part. You cannot run a society on envy or we'll all be dead. Check this out. Details in a pretrial memo are giving us a better understanding of Jonathan Rindernick's state of mind.

35:02Prosecutors say he ranted about being angry at the world, became obsessed with fire and was fixated on the accused UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione. Witnesses reported the Uber driver driving erratically while on routes around the Palisades on New Year's Eve. Court filings show Rendernecht talked to his passengers about Mangione capitalism and vigilantism. Online, Rendernecht type in search terms like free Luigi Mangione, let's take down all the billionaires, and Reddit, let's kill all the billionaires. In an interview with investigators on January 24th of last year, when asked why someone might commit arson in the Palisades, Rendernecht responded that it would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as we're basically being enslaved by them.

35:51Folks, listen. Listen to Brother Dan here, okay? You can't run a freaking society on this, man. And by the way, this is not the first time we've had a suspect in a violent incident cite Luigi Mangione.

36:08This is being fertilized and gasoline is being put on this envy fire, by the way, by people pretending to be in our tent who were the hidden knowledge data point people, too. They're constantly telling you, hey, listen, we've got the answer to this crime and that crime and what happened here. Well, what is it? I don't want to tell you. It's a data point. It's hidden knowledge. Subscribe here. Buy my merch there. It's a big scam. Please do not fall for this. Anchor your movement in truth. Build coalitions. Bring people in the tent. Go out and present ideas. envy is not an idea that's ever going to lead to a prosperous growth oriented society where people can you know pass down a greater country a more prosperous country to their kids ever it has only led to one place ever death and destruction abigail schreier did a hit on a podcast i like abigail and abigail was talking about why conservatives not always some people fall for this we're not immune to it either.

37:14But very few on the conservative side are falling for this. This leads to death, destruction, and a mental health trap because your entire life, all you're worried about is eat the rich, you know, screw the cops. All cops are bastards, that ACAP thing. That's all you're worried about. You don't worry about your own life because you suck. All you're worried about is someone else. Ken Griffin in New York, the rich guy. That's all your entire life is envy. Do not do that. Conservatives are very skeptical of this stuff. And they isolate their kids from it. They don't fall for the current thing, men's penises in the women's room.

37:48We don't fall for that. And that's why conservatives, generally speaking, when you look at an analysis of mental health data, are more stable. Listen to Abigail Schreier talk about this. Don't get into the envy game, no matter what, and keep your kids out of it too. Tell them, worry about yourselves. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. Check this out. often ask me why the kids from conservative families end up healthier happier and conservatives especially love this research but it's promulgated by it by liberals and i think the answer is just this simple conservatives were more skeptical of the culture that's it the culture coming in was bad and because conservatives recognized the culture didn't have their values they approached it with greater skepticism.

38:34Every parent should approach this culture with great skepticism, unfortunately, because it's not a healthy culture. It really isn't for families and children. I want to tie the chapters of the show together. Let's go back to chapter one. Conservatives, you know it as well as I do. Folks in the chat, come on, tell me you don't know this. When the whole COVID hysteria was breaking out, it was conservative podcasts like, what is two thumbs at this guy and others i wasn't the only one it was a lot of conservative podcasters telling people everyone needs to calm down this is crazy we're jamming ventilators down people's throats we're killing people wear a stupid mask we are skeptical i'm going to tell you something i am as pro back to blue as anyone else i think you know that however there were even some police departments that were falling into this trap too.

39:29You saw it. We are skeptical. Stay skeptical. Ask questions. However, follow logic and reason to an answer. Don't just endlessly ask questions to ask questions. Ask questions intent on getting an answer.

39:51man we focus on our five-point plan here we are going to build the coalitions and we can win we still have a good shot at the midterms do not let yourself fall into this envy trap please this is you want to talk about a grand canyon like schism in our society we will never recover from this if we let this set in what's the five-point plan and scrap this filibuster, the Save America Act, fix the census. Oh, look at this. They got a five point plan. Look at that. Very nice, guys. Redistrict the lines to make them fair again. Control the border. That's the Bongino five step plan. We're already halfway home.

40:31I need to give you a sense of optimism so the doomers don't take over and get people to not show up at the polls. Don't vote. Nothing's happened. Bullshit. Show up and vote. A lot of things are happening. We got three more years to make things happen. Look at the plan. We're already halfway home. We're already halfway there. Border control, we're there. The redistricting is happening now. Receipts incoming. Census reform won't happen until 2030. There's nothing we can do now. The Save America Act is out there right now. We nuked the filibuster, which there's talk of, but look at Taylor. Good to see you, buddy.

41:09Good man. my guy right there. We're already halfway home. We're already halfway home. Here's a clip of Tom Homan. Tom Homan working as the border czar over at DHS. Here's Homan asked a very simple question on the border. I thought nothing's happening at the border. A shit ton's happening at the border. We've had zero illegal migrants issued multiple, allotted into the country multiple months in a row. Check this out. We actually just came back from the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, Texas. And the situation there is night and day from what we saw under the Biden administration. Illegal crossings, as you know, have plunged to record lows.

41:48What changed? We got a new president. And under Biden administration, he kept saying he couldn't do much without legislation. We need legislation. They didn't need that. I mean, they should have learned from Trump 45 that, you know, through executive orders, you can fix a lot of this problem. So if you're waiting on Congress, I'm not optimistic that Congress will ever address this problem, especially now. It's such a divided Congress. But look, the change got President Trump in the Oval Office. He issued executive orders, a lot of the executive orders that worked in Trump 45, reestablished them with a few others.

42:22And as of today, we have the most secure border in history of the nation. I mean, even better than Trump 45. Don't tell me. Cut the bullshit right now. Do not tell me the five-point plan is impossible. We are a little over a quarter of the way through Donald Trump's second term. And we've already nailed two of the five points of the plan. And the Save America Act is out there. We've already nailed redistricting and border control. Stop telling me we can't do it. By the way, what Tom Homan is saying is 100 percent true. One of the things that pissed me off in the Biden years when, you know, we exploded during the Biden years, this show, because everybody was, you know, looking for a vehicle to vent off their anger at this idiot at the White House.

43:08One of the things we were told in the Biden years is you can't control the border. You need new legislation. Tom Homan said, no, you don't. You just need a new president. Okay, where are the receipts for that? Right here. Here's the Immigration Nationality Act, section 212F. It's clear as day. The White House put it out the other day in a tweet. You can read it yourself. There it is, the White House. INA section 212F Whenever the president Notice it doesn't say Congress Whenever the president Finds that the entry of any aliens Or any class of aliens Into the U.S. Would be detrimental to the interests of the U.S.

43:47The president May by proclamation And for such period as The president shall deem necessary Suspend the entry Of all aliens or any class of aliens, as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Justin, that sounds pretty straightforward to me. I thought the president couldn't do anything. I thought he couldn't do anything. You may say, Dan, I'm a P1 listener. You put this 212F up a lot. Yes, that's the point. I've always told you the story, not a story. The media tells you what story? Yeah, Biden couldn't do anything about the border.

44:26He had no power. Biden didn't know about INA-212F Are you serious? Is he that stupid? Of course he did He just didn't want to do anything about the border Don't let the doomers bullshit you We're two of five And we're only a quarter of the way through the presidency Two of the five points are already there We're almost home Here's Larry O 'Connor Larry's a friend of mine We worked at WMAL together for a long time Larry O 'Connor is a pretty good host in his own right. Larry O 'Connor talks about these two things, and this is for the doomers too. Before we, everybody's ready to forfeit the midterms.

45:03We don't even have an answer to these two, these important two critical questions yet, and you got a bunch of people out there blackpilling everyone. How? The variables for the math equation aren't even set yet. Here's Larry on two important things you need to pay attention to. Check this out. Two elements of these midterms that everyone needs to just hold their breath and wait for before they make predictions on what's going to happen. And number one, we still don't know what the map is going to look like and what those districts look like. But number two, let the Democrats find their nominees, because if they keep nominating people like this, that changes the equation for Republicans.

45:36Thank you, Larry O 'Connor. We don't even know what the maps are going to look like yet. There's redistricting now going on and talk of it in Tennessee, Louisiana. I don't want to miss any Alabama, Mississippi. Dan, some of these places already had their primaries. Yes, the Republicans down there are moving so quick that they may go and retroactively do these primaries over again and redistrict the lines. Good. You want to fight back? That's the way. Don't tell me nothing's happening. It is happening right now. And their candidates on the Democrat side are shit. You got a guy with a Nazi tattoo up in Maine.

46:15You got another guy going around and campaigning in Michigan with a dude talking about social murder. You got another one, Mallory McMorrow in Michigan, running in Michigan, talking about how Michiganders basically suck. And Midwesterners are terrible. She loves California. Their slate of candidates are terrible. And where everybody's throwing it, it's over. Doom and gloom. Oh, no, no. I saw the same shit with COVID. Put your mask on. Everyone's going to die. No, not everyone's going to die. Cut the shit. Stop. Stop. You ever see the Michael Jordan giffy? Stop. Just stop. You ever see it? If you know giffies, I'm on Twitter all day on X.

46:59It's one of the best giffies. It's up there with the Mariah Carey. I don't know her. And Flaming Elmo guy. If you're on giffies and you use giffies, you know exactly what I'm doing. Stop. Just stop. You got to find me that one, too. Do you know the one? Oh, there it is. Yes. Thank you, Justin. This was not part of the show. That dude is fast. This is the Michael Jordan. Stop it. Get some help. Doomers, stop it. Get some help. We're bringing receipts. We're showing you that the stuff is happening. Here's a quick Fox report. We don't even know what the lines are yet. Republicans in the South are now like, good.

47:38Now we, that VRA Supreme Court case, we're going to redistrict our maps too. Excellent. Check this out. In a high stakes redistricting fight ahead of the midterms, President Donald Trump is urging Republican states to move quickly. Louisiana is delaying primaries for House races after the Supreme Court ruled its map unconstitutional, since lawmakers used race while drawing a district. Now other red states are reacting to the ruling. Governors from Alabama and Mississippi scheduled a special session to discuss redistricting. Tennessee's governor told Trump he's open to redrawing, adding another Republican seat.

48:15Yes, yes. Stop it, Doomers. Get some help. Stop it. You need it. We don't even know what's going on yet. Everybody's freaking out. Not only that, I say not only that. I told you elections are about contrast. You can't just make it a referendum on your stuff. Hey, we're really great. Some people just don't like you. Some people just hate Republicans. That's a fact. Academia got to them. The media got to them. However, those people, if you just make it a referendum on you, oh, I'm great, candidate A. Some people don't think you're great. You have to paint a contrast For the people who think you're not great And think you suck You have to paint a contrast As to why candidate B from the Democrat party Sucks even worse It's not the Democratic party There's nothing Democratic about it You understand the contrast Do you get where I'm going with this?

49:14Mark Penn brought it up yesterday on the show In the clip we played You cannot just say I am the Republican candidate in Tennessee or elsewhere I'm really great because of this good a lot of republicans are going to buy that a lot of independents democrats are probably going to hate you if you can convince the democrats that their candidate sucks even worse you got two things that could happen one they could stay home which listen don't vote you don't want to vote don't vote fine i don't care i'd rather you not vote against me or you may even get some of them to vote for you like donald trump did he was great at painting contrast crooked hillary all this other stuff but you can't only paint contrast you have to build coalitions too You have to go out there and grab subsets of people who were not traditionally part of your conservative movement, your liberal movement, whatever it may be.

50:02You have to grab subsets of people that are not natural allies and make them natural allies. That's why I cannot talk enough about this Make America Healthy Again movement. Folks, I am knee deep in this. There are two things I passionately, passionately love. Economics, which is weird. I just, I don't know. I just like it. I've been talking about it forever. Who cares? Second are health hacks. I was always into working out, but the cancer thing just scared me. Like it scares a lot of people. I'm five years now. I'm just obsessed with not getting dead. It scares you. This is an exploding movement in America and anything I can do to bring people into the fold.

50:51Liberals are like, body positivity. Be obese. It's no big deal. It is a big deal. You know why? You're going to die. Don't die. Stop eating so much. It's going to kill you. But I'm body positive. You're going to be body positive in a casket. Stop. Stop. Michael Jordan give me. Just stop.

51:20It's true. Here's Bobby Kennedy in the Oval Office, our cabinet member, Secretary HHS Bobby Kennedy on the obesity crisis. Check this out. The presidency has presided over the worst public health crisis in history. We're now the sickest nation in the world. We've gone from 5 % of our kids being obese to 20%. 70 % of adults are obese or overweight. And 77 % of our children cannot qualify for military service. And that should be an eye opener for all of us. There's a don't get that emoji for the chat. Is this new? You guys are great in the chat. Pat McGroin. Just stop being stupid. Folks, I'm sorry.

52:07We have to stop bullshitting people. We're living a world Where no one wants to offend anybody Don't tell people who eat too much That they could die Why would you not tell them that Light it up Don't get dead in the chat Don't get dead, tear it up Only we can melt the chat down in this show We have the audience to do it I love melting chats down I love when it stalls We beat the technology Stop getting dead The Make America Healthy movement is exploding There are all kinds of products out there and things. You can change your life. You're never going to change your life. There you go. Tear it up in the chat.

52:47Don't get dead. And stop listening to bullshitters that are trying to get you dead quicker. Everything's going to be okay. It's not going to freaking be okay. The quality of your life should matter. I don't like CNN clips on this stuff. However, this guest is pretty good. This guy like Dave Asperger. here he is talking about, it's not just the quantity of your life that matters. Do you want to live till 90 and from 40 on, you're not even ambulatory, you can't move around, your knees are busted, your shoulders don't work, you can't think straight, you got advanced stage dementia. We're going through that right now.

53:23You don't want that shit. We've got someone we're taking care of. You don't want that. Many of you are dealing with it now. Being obese and out of shape makes all this stuff worse. Cut the shit. Here's a CNN guest talking about how quality of your life should matter too. This is our coalition. We're the ones preaching real body positivity, which means get in shape. Check this out. If you're trying to extend your life because you're planning to not die, I hate to tell you something, the Earth's crust will crack into at some point and the universe will collapse and on itself we're all going to die.

54:03So the real game is how can I feel really good now and for as long as I choose until I'm done and not stress so much along the way? So a big mistake that some longevity people or biohackers make is trying to do everything perfectly. The deal is more energy today equals more years later. So you focus on what's going to give you the quickest results. You have more energy. So it's just not so hard anymore. Get a sleep tracker. And if something's working, your morning readiness score will be higher. So it's not in biohacking about doing what's supposed to work. It's about doing what actually works for your biology today.

54:40And if anything in the last 10 years has come out of this field, it's that there are no two identical humans. So your goals are different than your friends. Your genetics are different than your friends. And your brain is different than your friends. But here's the good news. Most decline is environmental. It's not genetic. studies show about somewhere between 70 and 80 percent of how you age is environmental and we can control our environment that's the definition of biohacking change the environment around you so you feel the way you want somebody have people in the chat like i have glasses what i don't really care i don't know this guy at all i'm just telling you like what he's saying is absolutely correct i'm not telling you you got to go out get a gym membership become a power lifter tomorrow become an Olympic triathlete.

55:25I, Dan Bongino, am not telling you that at all. I don't have a lot of time. I find time. Someone in the chat said 10 air squats every hour. If you can start there, start there. We had Dr. Rhonda on, but I saw this clip. She has found my fitness. That's her podcast. She's fantastic. She was on the show. Here's just a short clip. Here's where you start. If you can, your knees work. You check with your doctor. Do all that stuff. It's only smart. Get a good checkup. Get some blood work done. If you're healthy and good, get up once an hour and do 10 air squats. You don't need to be, you know, a winner, Mr.

55:55Olympia, like Lee Haney. You can just get up and move around a little bit. It makes a huge, listen to the numbers here in this clip, a huge difference in your life. Even little things like moving around. I'm not talking about Bulgarian split squats. Just move. Check this out. I think that the data is clear and repeatable where individuals that are doing, you know, know these short bursts of exercise if they're doing three minutes of it three minute bouts of it three times a day so a total of nine minutes a day that's a 50 percent lower cardiovascular related mortality 50 percent lower cardiovascular related 40 percent lower all-cause mortality 40 percent lower cancer related mortality and this is even in individuals that don't define themselves or identify as people that actually exercise because they're like no i don't go to the gym i don't exercise but they do exercise they just don't realize that they're doing these moments, right?

56:49You hear what I'm telling you? Or Dr. Rhonda's telling you, you don't have to be in there and engage in like, I got to reach a four minute mile. You don't have to do that. Just move around and don't fall for the progressive old school bullshit, body positivity, all that stuff. You want to get body positive, go move around and work out. It is critical. Folks, this is how we build coalitions. That group is ours for the taking. They don't want to be told by people, none of this stuff matters. It does matter. It's your body. It's your temple. Work with it. Folks, we have to walk and chew gum at the same time.

57:30I told you that. We have to pay contrast and we have to build coalitions and we're never going to win elections again. And don't fall for the Doomer bullshit either. There is so much good stuff happening. I told you I love health hacks and economics. You know why I care about economics? Because I want to make your wallet fatter. And there are incredible, incredible things going on right now. Right now. That are going to make your life and your wallet. The AI explosion is going to be incredible. I'm not sure everyone understands the multipliers we're going to be looking at for productivity in your life.

58:05Kevin Hassett. I'm going to go a little out of order here, Justin. Kevin Hassett, one of Trump's economic advisors, was on. This is a quick clip. He's not kidding here. He's talking about people investing and now it's Dow 50 ,000 and elsewhere. How I'm not sure you understand that this is like electricity, the steam engine, and the industrial revolution all packaged into one. This is really important. You understand this. You are living through life-changing technology. Check this out. We're seeing these earnings go up, but the earnings are actually an understatement of how good it is because those earnings subtract the cost of the new investments, which are going to give us even more earnings down the road.

58:45The bottom line is that there's an AI productivity boom, which is feeding through to an earnings boom. And multiples aren't really that scary at all, even though the market skyrocketing. And so I think there's a lot more room for everything to go up. Dutch American Girl says hubby and I are working out while watching you, Dan. Thank you. You and hubs both. Folks, he's not kidding. I see a couple of people in the chat. Tell me how it works. I can't tell you how it works. A lot of the labs can't tell you how it works. Yes, I'm concerned about potential downsides too. But ladies and gentlemen, the fact that an intelligence probably smarter than us can potentially cure cancer and do things like that.

59:27I'm not going to be a doomer on it either. I'm going to be logical, reasonable. We need guardrails. We got to be very careful. We don't wind up in freaking Terminator 2. But let's be realistic here. This technology in just months is just doubling and tripling its own capacity. I want to show you something else that broke yesterday, too. That, again, I saw almost nowhere in significant left wing mainstream outlets that should make you really excited about the market, jobs, opportunity. It's just numbers, folks. Receipts matter. Quick break. We'll get back to that. Hey, I've been asked this question many times.

1:00:07How can I help protect my family without taking a life? Well, let me tell you about a product I fell in love with early, Berna. I learned about it from a friend. I was happy when they joined the show as a sponsor because I already had a couple of these. I have a Berna. They sent me as well. They sent me one of the new ones. And let me tell you, I trust it. Berna's less than lethal launcher fires powerful kinetic and chemical rounds. I can incapacitate an attacker for up to 30 minutes. My father has one too. He loves his. That could give you time to get away and call for help. Berna, B-Y-R-N-A, Berna's new compact launcher, love this one, is about the size of a smartphone.

1:00:42It's easy to carry, easy to use. There's no background check required. The Berna CL fires at up to 400 feet per second with serious stopping power and was designed to help with de-escalation, not devastation. Berna's proudly American, assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. More than 750 ,000 Berna launchers are already in the hands of law enforcement and responsible citizens who want protection without tragedy. If you believe in being prepared and you also believe in restraint, this is an incredible option. Check it out. Berna, B-Y-R-N-A, is for you. Go to B-Y-R-N-A, that's Berna.com, and learn more.

1:01:21Berna.com, Berna.com. Check it out. Take a look. Thank you, Berna. Here's another report that came out. This was on Fox yesterday. The ADP job numbers just surpassed expectations. Well, why would this matter? Because you don't have a job. You don't have any money to spend. This isn't complicated to understand. Check this out. It was better than expected, Maria. We came out at 109 ,000 for ADP for the month of April. This is the highest number we've seen in 15 months for ADP, well above the estimate. Last month was only 62 ,000. So this is a strong number. This tees us up, obviously, for the Friday jobs report.

1:01:57A little bit of a pullback on the market, as you can see here as this number crossed. But, look, March was a blowout. Jobs number's good here. You want another one to fatten up your wallet? You want a big, fat, juicy wallet, don't you? Fat. Fat wallet. Cheese, cash, that's what you want in there. Here's another report by Axios. No friend to President Trump in the MAGA agenda. talking about corporate earnings exploding. What would I care about that for? Because a lot of people work for these companies. They don't have earnings. They can't hire more people. Corporate America shrugging off economic uncertainty as earnings deliver.

1:02:37I don't know. I thought everything was terrible. I thought everything was doom and gloom. You want to go back to the Biden economy or you want this economy under President Trump? Job numbers up. Earnings up. Dow 50 ,000. What do you want? There's a contrast out there. You pick A or B. There's no perfect choice.

1:03:00By the way, I am thoroughly enjoying what's going on in California. Why are we talking about California? Because, ladies and gentlemen, I said to you yesterday that what changed the law enforcement narrative about, you know, racist cops hunting down unarmed black men was the body cam. If you missed yesterday's show, please go back and watch this segment. It is so worth your time. The body cam changed everything. All these stories you were told about Every time there was a white police officer And a black subject Every single time you'd have one of these groups come out And blame race And then the body cam came out And you see all these photos and pictures of what happened And you're like, well that doesn't look like it's race at all It looks like a pretty legitimate use of force California's become a political body cam for the nation It has the advent of clips and social media and tiktok you can't hide anymore man people are walking around the palisades fire like why aren't any homes being built here yet people are walking around the streets of new york you know homeless people street vendors to fentanyl flop or fentanyl fold everywhere and they're like what the hell is this you can't hide anymore man the body cam going on in California right now is priceless.

1:04:19You know how the Democrats and the media are always accusing the right of evil racist replacement theory? I've already told you that's bullshit. That's the left's thing. The left talks about it all the time. Produce receipts, Dan. I got you. I got you. Here's Katie Porter running for governor in California. Absolutely hapless Democrat. She's the get out of my shot lady. She was the yeller up on Capitol Hill. here's Katie Porter admitting that the only way to keep the population of blue California stable because everybody's leaving it because it sucks the government there sucks the only way to do it is illegal immigration I thought that was racist the replacement theory it's not it's the only way they roll check this out it's the job of the California governor to protect every single Californian.

1:05:10The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have are focusing on doing their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities. These are Californians. They contribute to our economy. They pay taxes. And they're one of the only ways that our state has been growing in recent years. I thought that was racist. Guys, were we not told that? That we can replace them? We were told that, right? I thought replacement theory was, oh, there you go, the New York Times, an actual, we can replace them. The famous Michelle Goldberg article we use all the time.

1:05:53Don't buy the bullshit. Replacement theory is their thing because it's not a theory. She's openly talking about it. People are leaving California because the government sucks. And basically the only way we can replace the population is through illegal immigration. I thought that was racist. I thought that was racist. You see the political colonoscopy going on right now in California? We're all looking up there. We're like, I don't want to see that. That's what it is. The political body cam going on in California right now is glorious. And one of the guys who's leading the charge is this Spencer Pratt running for mayor.

1:06:28We played some of the videos people are doing. It's just amazing. He's in a debate with Nithya, Roman running for mayor, Roman, and Karen Bass, the incumbent, the Democrat. He's in a debate. And I'm telling you, man, this guy, I don't know him. I have no personal attachment to him. Zero. I'm just telling you, I love the political colonoscopy going on in California. Watching this guy with no political background at all, just like when Trump came in, shred these two idiots on the stage who've been in politics basically their most of their adult life is just glorious watch this from a debate that just happened check this out and acts like she doesn't have any authority with this homelessness she was the third most powerful person in city council she runs the homeless housing thing she acts like this is just mayor bass first off inside safe i like to say inside safe makes all of us outside unsafe the reality is no matter how many beds you give these people, they are on super meth.

1:07:28They are on fentanyl. The DEA statistics says 93 % of this is a drug addiction problem. Nithya Councilman Robin's plan for treatment first. I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her and we can find some of these people she's going to offer treatment for. She's going to get stabbed in the neck. These people do not want a bed. They want fentanyl or super meth. These ideas cost us over$400 million to house for 70, what did you say? 3 ,000 people for 400 million? This is an absolute failure for both of them. They're a team. Folks, this guy has been the greatest political colonoscopy for California politics we've seen in a long time.

1:08:08I don't know how it's going to turn out. I'm just telling you like, yes, this goes back there with the body positivity thing. Tell people who are obese, it's going to be fine and everything's great. It's not great. Tell people who are addicted to super meth, it's going to be fine. It's not going to be fine. You're damn right. Some of these people are going to stab you in the freaking neck. Some of them don't even want help. Some of them do not want help. A large, overwhelming majority are not interested in help. Stop bullshitting people. We're going to get treatment that way out of here. Good luck with that.

1:08:37He's like, treatment? Just clean the place up.

1:08:45Thank you. Yeah, that ad. I mean, Paula, I caught Paula watching this like five times yesterday. I come downstairs, I hear, I'm like, are you watching my show from yesterday? She's like, yeah, this video that they put out, that Charlie B. Curran video. She can't get enough of it. It's so good. Hey, I saw this clip yesterday. I got a couple more things I want to get to you through. Listen, I get asked a lot, especially when I used to give speeches down for like turning point, things like that. A lot of young folks would come up to me and ask me for advice. I'm like, listen, I'm not the guy to ask for life advice.

1:09:21It's screwed up a lot. I mean, I wrote a whole book about flops I made that I later turned into successes. And I'm actually glad they happened. I wrote a book called The Gift of Failure because it can be a gift if you use it, if you use it the right way. But I do have one piece of advice for you, and it's this. You know, and I'm not trying to be Plato here or anything, but you have to chase opportunities. You have to collect them. forget luck folks luck is an illusion you can make your own luck if luck is a probability equation and you go out and take chances and do things others aren't willing to do you take an extra class while your buddy's sitting on their ass eating Doritos you go out to some after hours event to mingle with business leaders while the other guy's sitting home playing a video game then you're going to make your own luck because you're going to meet someone who's going to change your life Listen to me My entire life has been marked by opportunities That other people would attribute to luck I don't People told me I was crazy Leaving my job running for office Like Maryland you have no chance I'm like I don't know where it's going to go Good news bad news I don't know I'll figure it out in the end But I'm going to take a shot Collect as many opportunities but don't chase trains I got that from the book The Black Swan I've told you about it before The train leaves at 8.15 And you're there at 8.16 you effed up.

1:10:48You're going to collect those opportunities, go and do them, but don't chase the trains. I saw this clip on Joe Rogan's show. It was Kevin Hart, the comedian. There's a couple things about this. Number one, a lot of people were ribbing him because he thinks like an 800, 900 SAT score is good. Okay. Outside of, get past that for a second. This is just really, really good stuff. It's great advice. He's talking about how he was supposed to go to Great Adventure, which is Six Flags Adventure Park in New Jersey. I remember going to as a kid. And he didn't want to study for the SAT. So he never enjoyed the experience because he bombed it while all the people who had done the prep work got to enjoy it.

1:11:25You collect opportunities, don't chase trains. Live your life as well. Have a good time. But earn, as I say to people, earn your weekends. Bust your ass Monday through Friday. That way you can have a good time on weekends and earn it. Check this out. People that I wouldn't rush to go to Great Adventure with, they had taken an SAT the week before. They already got their work done. They did everything they were supposed to do. So that moment of fun was real fun for them. I was the only dumbass that didn't prioritize and take care of my shit. So I'm the only one going to community college. Everybody else off to Villanova, Temple University, Drexel University.

1:12:01God damn. I just got left behind. Why didn't y 'all tell me that y 'all did it the week before? How come y 'all ain't tell me that we was serious about the college shit y 'all ain't telling me y 'all was trying to go to temple or drexel oh wait it's because my life isn't their life they they're focused on themselves wow they're doing what they're supposed to do hey jackass go sit by yourself and figure it out because this is where you should be lesson learned any opportunity given should be taken serious from this point on because if not you can find yourself feeling just like this so i didn't get down on myself for the fucking moment i learned from it i learned from it now if i gotta take a goddamn test you best believe i'm studying for that fucking test because i don't want the feeling like i'm the guy that didn't prepare now i got a story to tell my kids about what it feels like to be the kid in class that didn't prepare that's got the worst grade when they give all those grades back.

1:13:03But it's because of my experience. I don't look down on those moments. You take those moments, you make the best of them because they're life lessons. It's that simple. Hey man, I don't got to subscribe to the guy's politics, worldview, whatever. I hear this stuff. I put it out there because it's absolutely true. He's video of the day. Collect opportunities. But you hear what he's saying? Don't chase trains though. If you get an opportunity, prepare for it Don't just collect the opportunity just to collect it Collect it and prepare for it If you have a test, prepare for the damn test If you have a speech, prepare for the damn speech You want to talk about a guy who collected opportunities throughout his life?

1:13:48Throughout his life, despite unimaginable obstacles Institutional racism Jim Crow this guy's the goat who? Kevin Hart? No, not Kevin Hart talk about a guy who collected opportunities, when I talk about the goat I'm talking about Clarence Thomas, I saw this clip running around on X yesterday, he's talking about growing up in de jure and de facto racism all around, where he was told probably by people in society wouldn't amount to anything or an amount to nothing. He's now the most, I think, prominent conservative judicial Supreme Court justice, most important we've had in our time. He is, in my mind, the GOAT, greatest of all time.

1:14:45I love Clarence Thomas. I got so much Manpanyan love for this guy. Here he is just quickly talking about what it was like growing up and his parents with getting to school for him and his brother. This is what it looks like to collect opportunities, even when some of those opportunities are trying to kick you in the face. Check this out. Remember now, I'm seven years old. My brother is six. And he says to us, you are going to go to school every day. And if you are sick, you're still going. And if you die, You will go, I will take your body for three days to make sure you're not faking. And he met him.

1:15:25I mean, the thing about it is, it's one thing if somebody says it and you think they're exaggerating. He wasn't that kind of guy. The Catholic schools were very orderly. My brother used to say, when you walked in there, you could hear a gnat tiptoeing across cotton. It was segregated. it. The nuns didn't much appreciate the fact that blacks were treated that way. They were mostly Irish nuns and they were outspoken to, oh God, I love it. They were on our side from day one. Man, I love this guy. Can you imagine what it's like growing up black in the in the South back then, being told that you're just structurally inferior to other people because of the melanin in your skin.

1:16:18It's so unimaginable now. Folks, I got news for you. Axiomatically, obviously you just heard, this is our generation. This happened in our time. Well, not if you're younger, but Clarence Thomas is still alive. He's talking about it. So it's not 700 years ago. In like medieval times. This happened. This happened to him. It's really sad that he has to say at the end, the Irish nuns were on our side. You know what the saddest part is? That there was a side based on melanin in your skin. That was a side? Yeah, it was a side. Imagine being told like, you got to sit in the back of that bus or drink out of that water fountain.

1:17:05Why? Yeah, because you're black. You imagine that was just the way people lived? If there was ever an excuse, and I can't imagine that. Thank the Lord I can't imagine that. But imagine being told every day that you are so inferior to people who are white or basically any other race that substandard conditions, separate but unequal, were for you. You go sit in the back of that class, back of the bus. You're not allowed to sit at the counter in a restaurant. And then still saying to yourself, despite being told that every day by people around you, you know what? One day I'm going to kick some ass and take some names.

1:17:47I'm going to be a Supreme Court justice. And then imagine complaining about your situation today.

1:17:57Man, I screwed up the test, Mom, because the cafeteria, you know, ran out of chicken tenders. So I really couldn't cut it. And I asked the teacher for it, like, can you imagine that? This guy grows up in the segregated South. He's the most important Supreme Court justice of our time. And you're bitching about chicken nuggets running out in the school cafeteria? Get off your ass and get the job done. You're whining because your cell phone battery ran out. I can't believe it. I can't handle the stress. Get me a Xanax. No, get the Xanax crowing the fuck up Go have a chat with Clarence Thomas Ask him what it was like

1:18:46Don't baby your kids Stop telling people who are dying Because they're OBA, it's okay Stop telling your kids their cell phone battery runs out That we should coddle them Oh, come here, Johnny Let me rub the back of your head No, no, shut up and figure it out Go talk to your friends

1:19:04that's the goat man love that guy and i'm proud to be part of a conservative and republican movement that embraces justice clarence thomas is one of our own and you democrats attacking him you're just attacking him because you're envious just like i said before you're just jelly as the kids say that you are not him and you're a loser that's why and he's not wow that was a lot of show today Guy you like that one Guy's a big fan of today's show and I told you Guy's favorite show of the week Guy's like a compliments like manhole covers guy make sure you tune in to Haley we raid Crowder next we like Steve, Steve's a good man Haley at noon rumble.com slash Haley I really appreciate you guys blowing up these other shows part of the Bongino Report family here Vince at 8am every day His podcast is just tearing it up.
