Stunning New Poll Has the Dems Panicking | Episode 194

27:22But I've reached the point of, you know, the process now where I say, you know, I kind of think we're full, right? The United States, we're full. There's like 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 million illegal aliens in our country. You know, people who shouldn't be here, they have no legal right to be here. You've got the whole Somali situation going on in Minnesota Nine, could you believe this? Nine billion dollars of alleged fraud That these Somalis, you know, took part in In Minnesota, nine billion dollars They looted the federal Medicaid program They distributed all these funds And federal Medicaid program to the state of Minnesota Nine billion dollars And look, I'm one of these people I don't love social programs.

28:11I'm not into the whole, you know, tax and give it to people and all this. Our social programs in this country were designed to help American citizens who are down on their luck having a hard time. I know some people who may have been on these programs for a little bit. And they needed a hand up, not a handout. Right? They needed a hand up, not a handout. out. These programs are not designed to support the lives of refugees that pour into our country from third world, you know, assholes, for lack of a better term. And Trump calls them that and they go nuts when he calls them, how dare you? Well, if they, if it wasn't an asshole, why'd you leave?

28:48Right? I mean, if it's so good in Somalia, I mean, you could go back, right? Ilhan, some people did something, go back, go back. If it's so bad in the United States. No, they'd never go back. They're not going to leave. They're going to come here. They're going to pillage. They're going to loot this country. That's exactly what they're doing. Now, I'm not saying every immigrant does this. That's not the truth. Okay. But the fact of the matter is, if you walk into a hotel and you beg and you plead and you get on your knees, but I'll clean your toilets and I'll make your beds and I'll cook your meals.

29:22Sorry, I can't give you a room because we have no rooms available. We are full. Now, I'm not saying we need to permanently halt all immigration. But I think for at least the foreseeable future, we need to make it very difficult for people to come into our country. We don't have the space. We just don't. And supply and demand would teach you when you have a finite supply, right? There's a cap on how much housing is available in this country until you build more houses. There's a cap on how much food is available in this country. There's a cap on the availability of health care and resources, hospital beds, emergency rooms, etc.

30:02and it's designed to accommodate a certain amount of people, okay? When you throw 20, 30, 40 million additional people into the equation, you are creating so much more demand. What happens when you create more demand? Price goes up. Cost goes up. Everything goes through the roof. Why are we seeing a massive increase in the cost of living, the cost of homes, the rents are going through the roof now? Why? Because there's so much competition. And golden rule, you want to make the price of something go up? Have government subsidize it. Every single time. Government doesn't subsidize the cost of televisions.

30:42What's happened? You can go to Walmart right now for$150 and walk out of there with a 43-inch television. May not be the best one, but it'll work. You can watch whatever you want to watch on it. Government subsidizes education. Government subsidizes health care. Government subsidizes housing. government subsidizes in many cases, in some cases food. And what are we seeing? We're seeing the cost of those things through the roof. So the golden rule, you want to make the cost of something skyrocket, have government just start printing money, you know, making it rain. Here you go. Free money for you, free money for you and you and you and you as well.

31:18It's like Oprah, you get a subsidy, you get a subsidy, you get, but the subsidy doesn't do anything. A, A, the money's basically not real. And B, what the government does at that point in time is they basically set the floor of the market. Hey, this is what it's going to cost at minimum. You know, you have an apartment building, let's say with, I don't know, 100 units in it, right? One tenant, one landlord owns the entire building, 100 units, and he blocks off 10 of them for affordable housing, right? Let's say he's charging everybody in that building $600 a month for an identical unit, 600 bucks a month, one bedroom apartment, 100 units in the building.

31:5710 of those units are now earmarked for affordable housing. And the government decides, we're going to give you$1 ,000 if you're getting your housing subsidized. We're going to give you$1 ,000 to spend on housing. Guess what the cost of that unit now is in that building? $1 ,000. Why? Because the government's giving people free money. And if they price out somebody who's not getting their apartment subsidized, They know the government will just subsidize it with somebody else and they'll get that thousand from the government. Don't you see how this is a problem? Healthcare, same deal. And we'll touch on that in a second, you know, with the shutdown looming.

32:34You want to make the cost of something go through the roof? Government subsidizes it. We don't have the space. We don't have the availability. We're full. And so 90%, 90 % of these young conservatives want a moratorium on immigration. and I have to agree with them. I have to agree with them. We are full. We cannot take anybody right now. Maybe after some deportations, if we've got some room, maybe we can take you then. But for now, uh-uh, we're full. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to try again later. All right, quick break, and then we're going to have some fun at the expense of Chuck Todd.

33:13We're going to have some fun at the expense of Bernie Sanders. Ooh, I love making fun of Bernie. I don't think the Bongino army has heard that I dabble in Bernie Sanders. You do dabble. I dabble. I dabble. We'll see what happens. And of course, how about the announcement of the Trump class warship? The greatest warships in the history of the world. You know, they call me a pirate king, so we'll talk about it. But first, a word from our friends over at American Financing. Folks, the Fed dropped rates for the fourth time.

Thank you, Hillsdale College. We appreciate it. And onwards and upwards we go.

36:39Let's talk about this January 30th deadline, shall we? It looks like the Democrats are once again getting ready to shut the government down. And I have been a staunch defender of the filibuster and my defense is starting to wear out. You know, oh, but if the Democrats get it and there's no filibuster, they're going to pack the, they're going to do it anyway. They're going to do it anyway. We might as well just end this thing on our terms because we just showed you, 62 % of Democrats believe that they should just obstruct because they don't like Donald Trump, right? They should just obstruct Donald Trump's agenda, obstruct what he wants to do, get in the way of governing instead of taking that wait and see approach.

37:25January 30th is on the horizon. It's just over a month away. And we may have another government shutdown on our hands about the same thing that it was about the last go around. The Obamacare subsidies and specifically, you know, they want to make sure that the illegal aliens get those subsidies too, which by the way was happening. You look at states like New York, you look at states like California, a lot of other blue states around the country, Minnesota, cough, cough, the Somali problem, where you have federal matching funds coming out of the Medicaid program, right? And the Medicare program, the states that are giving illegal aliens healthcare are being reimbursed by the federal government.

38:05So yes, the federal government through the Affordable Care Act, through Medicaid, Medicare, is footing the bill for illegal aliens to get taxpayer-funded did healthcare. But I have a question that nobody on the left has found a way to answer. Okay. And this is the old, you know, the Dan Bongino money ball theory, right? If he's such a good hitter, how come he doesn't hit good, right? If he's such a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good? If the Affordable Care Act made healthcare affordable, then why is healthcare unaffordable? It's really a simple question, right? You have these COVID era subsidies that were put in place during the pandemic, right?

38:53And the Democrats designed them to expire. I like to compare it to when you feel kind of cruddy, maybe you have a cold, right? You go to your pharmacy, CVS, Walgreens, wherever you go, get a little day quill. Yeah, your cold is gone in about five to seven days if you're lucky. If you're me, it's gone in about four months. but once your cold is gone, do you keep chugging DayQuil? Do you like the way it tastes? Is it something that you just enjoy, right? So you go, you pick up your DayQuil, you pick up your cold meds, your cold is gone. You don't keep taking your cough and cold medication if you don't have a cough and cold, right?

39:33So if these COVID era subsidies were for the COVID era and the COVID era is over, then there should be no reason to have the subsidies anymore, right? I would think so. I would say that's fair. And it shouldn't be a problem, right? It shouldn't be an issue because we would just go back to the original Affordable Care Act subsidies. After all, the Affordable Care Act should make healthcare affordable. That's the name, Affordable Care Act. But we're being told now that if you take away the enhanced subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, that health care would not be affordable anymore. That's the unaffordable care act, as Donald Trump likes to call it.

40:17So, I mean, a couple of weeks ago when the government was reopened, Bernie Sanders was on the floor and he was just, you know, he was doing what he normally does. And he's waving his finger. It's like he's on puppet strings sometimes. But he was like, our health care system is broken. And I'm like, bro, Bernie, it's your system. You put this system in place. The Democrats, it was a 100 % Democrat thing. Republicans didn't vote for the ACA, for Obamacare. Our healthcare system, people are going to die. People are going to, how do we get there? First of all, people are going to die. This is the Democrats' baby.

41:01This is Obama's, you know, his like big time piece of legislation. This is his signature piece of legislation, Obamacare. You're telling me that the Affordable Care Act didn't solve the health care problem, didn't solve the affordability crisis in the health care industry? Well, I'll tell you, we told you one of the golden rules, right? If you want to make the cost of something skyrocket, If you want to make the cost of something skyrocket, have government subsidize it. So look, the Republicans are trying to offer kind of an alternative to this now, where instead of the money going directly to the insurance companies, the money goes to the people.

41:43Now, if it was up to me and I could wave a magic wand, which I wish I had, I don't have a magic wand, but if I could wave a magic wand, I would take government out of healthcare. I don't believe government belongs in healthcare. Why don't we treat healthcare like we're treating education? Leave it up to the states. It's not listed in the Constitution as one of the enumerated powers. That is something that the states should be handling at the state level. Get the federal government out of health care. But seeing as how that's not the case right now, the Affordable Care Act is in place, why are we sending all of these subsidies directly to the insurance companies?

42:17You know, Senator Marsha Blackburn, who's running for governor here in the state of Tennessee, came out and said there's actually been a ton of fraudulent enrollments in healthcare plans on the healthcare.gov marketplace where there are people who are enrolled in plans, let's say with UnitedHealthcare, okay, that they either A, don't know that they're enrolled or B, aren't actually enrolled at all. Those insurance companies are just getting money, free money for these people who aren't even technically, they may not exist, they may not want to be enrolled, they may not know that they're enrolled, but these insurance companies are getting free money.

42:53Why not give the money directly to the people? Get rid of the healthcare.gov marketplace and let the people choose which company they want to buy health insurance from. You know what happens if you do that? Take a look at your cell phone, right? How many times do you see these commercials? If you switch to so-and-so, we'll give you this, that, and the other. We'll give you an introductory deal, cable, internet, whatever it is. I used to sell DirecTV. You know, we would have a promotional rate for two years. And we would add some premium channels and the NFL Sunday ticket and all of these things.

43:24We would add value to win over the business from the consumer. That's exactly what will happen if you get the money directly to the hands of the people. You will have these insurance companies, instead of feeling like they are entitled to your business, instead of feeling like, well, you know, we're on the healthcare marketplace, so we have a leg up on some of these other companies, they will have to compete with everybody who's offering health insurance across the United States. You should be allowed to sell and purchase health care across state lines. The more competition that you have, the lower the cost will be.

44:02The CBO, which got tariffs completely wrong, says that the Republican-led health care plan would save upwards of$30 billion with a B for the U.S. taxpayer and lower health care premiums by 11%. And I believe that's low-balling it. I believe that's low-balling it. Look, I want government out of healthcare, but if they're going to be involved, give the money directly to the people. Give the money directly to the people and let the people spend it where they want and make these insurance companies have to compete for our business. Make them earn it instead of them being entitled to your business because they're listed in the healthcare exchange.

44:45January 30th is coming up and it is going to be very interesting to see if the government shuts down again or if John Thune decides that he's going to maybe push to nuke the filibuster you have a couple of Republicans Mark Wayne Mullen is now on board with this idea Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is on board with this idea he's like, John Thune came out and said, oh, you know we don't know if the Democrats are going to play ball well, you know what? Cut them out of the process at this point. You know what they want to do. We just talked about that poll where the majority of their party believes obstructing is the right thing to do.

45:22That's it. Cut them out of the process. They want to participate after that. Good. If not, we don't need you. We don't need you. Of course, it's going to rely on, we have to rely on Republicans to actually do their job, which is, you know, a shot in the dark as well. But January 30th is on the horizon with regards to a potential second government shutdown. And you know, the mainstream media is going to, they're going to flip out over it, right? The first go around, we had the sombreros. They went around, Hakeem Jeffries, the whole nine yards. El Hakeem, we called him El Hakeem. And he was horrible.

45:55El Jefe, but he's not El Jefe. El Jefe means the boss. He's not the boss of anything. And he has a small sombrero and a small teepee. And he's just a very stupid person, I have to say. And he's very embarrassed about it. And he doesn't like to talk about it. But the media was, you know, they were trying to blame Republicans for it. We had the filibuster. How ironic is it now that Chuck Todd was out there whining, moaning about how the media has lost trust, how the media has, you know, and it's like, oh, it's unfair, these internet algorithms. It's not that. It's you. Let's play this clip of Chuck Todd groveling, complaining that the media has lost credibility.

46:38Let's roll that. I always say I'm as good as the sources I have, not necessarily the sources I want at times, to borrow a phrase from the late Donald Rumsfeld. Meaning if you're getting untrustworthy sources, you may be reporting untrustworthy information, right? You get my drift here. And so I think that the collapse of trust in overall institutions, the media in some ways is a reflection of that distrust. And so that we may be reporting what the quote unquote experts tell us. But if the public doesn't trust those experts and then we in the media are quoting those experts, they don't trust us, too.

47:16It's sort of across the board. And what you have now, I would argue, Tom, is essentially the left doesn't trust the media now and the right doesn't trust the media. We are in this, you know, siloed world. I put the blame on big tech and algorithms. Puts the blame on big tech and algorithms. No, no, no, no. I think the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of people like Chuck Todd. This is from the the great, highly, highly respected, extremely talented Mazemore on X. A little side by side. Chuck Todd talking about the Hunter Biden laptop and then wagging his finger and you spread misinformation.

47:56Yeah, let's roll that one. Chuck Todd passing the buck here. Instead of Roger Stone and WikiLeaks, it's Rudy Giuliani and some computer guy in Delaware. So this didn't work. So he'll try another planted story or another, you know, Russian use some other discredited Russian propaganda. and for those of you spreading misinformation, shame on you. Shame on you. I don't know how some of you sleep at night who are doing this for a living on television. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The reason why I'm giggling, okay, is because you heard him in the first clip saying, well, I'm only as good as my sources. Yeah.

48:40You want to know who his, remember this? You want to know who his sources were? Pencilneck. Watermelonhead. Bug eyes. It's an engineering marvel. You look at that tiny little neck. It's holding up that big head. Shifty Schiff, right? He's a Schiff head. We call him a Schiff head. Schiff for brains, right? Think about it. Well, that was Chuck Todd's source during Russiagate. He's only as good as the sources that he has. Your source was Adam Schiff. So you suck. Play this one from Chuck Todd. I got to ask you something that you said also to me on Sunday. is that you took you thought that at the time former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, was too definitive when he said no evidence of collusion at the time that he served through January, essentially January 20th of this year.

49:34What basis can you feel confident saying that that the director of national intelligence that the director of national intelligence oversold something? Well, look, I don't think it was deliberate on the director's part. But all I can tell you is reviewing the evidence that I have, I don't think you can conclude that at all. Far from it. But you admit all you have right now is a circumstantial case. Actually, no, Chuck. I can tell you that the case is more than that. And I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now. So, again, I think you have seen direct evidence of collusion.

50:16I don't want to go into specifics, but I will say that there is evidence that is not circumstantial and and is very much worthy of investigation. So that is what we ought to do. Not circumstantial, huh? Chuck Todd, we're only as good as the sources, but it's the Internet's fault that the media has lost trust. Yeah, it's a bunch of bull. You know what I'm doing? It's sign language. That's not sign language. Yes, actually, but it is for me. Right. Bull. and then on the backside of the bull, you have an issue. Okay? Hockey. There you go. Operation Tootsie Roll, we called it, right? When crooked Joe Biden went in front of the Pope.

50:55You're not supposed to do that. But he did it at the Vatican. No good. Not a good thing to do. Why is the mainstream media losing credibility? We got one more. It's Rachel. I call her Rachel Mad Cow. You look at her. And I haven't seen her and Stephen Colbert in the same room. They are the same person. Just like Jim Acosta and Rosie O'Donnell. They look like the same person with the submarine porthole glasses. Remember this? The vaccine, it stops the virus. What a load of nonsense that was. Roll this from Rachel Madcow, okay? This is her telling you that with every vaccinated person, the COVID virus and transmission stops so we will not have that problem.

51:39Roll it. It means that instead of the vaccine being able, excuse me, It means for instead of the virus being able to hop from person to person to person to person, spreading and spreading, sickening some of them, but not all of them. And the ones that it doesn't sicken don't know they have it. And then they give it to even more people because they didn't recognize they were right. Instead of the virus being able to hop from person to person to person, potentially mutating and becoming more virulent and drug resistant along the way. Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person.

52:12A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus. The virus does not infect them. The virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else. It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people. That aged well. That aged like gas station sushi. That aged like, oh my God, that aged like milk. and milk for what you understand doesn't age well unless you're trying to make cheese then milk ages beautifully I mean what that aged about as well as Martha Raddatz's face the talking catchers met right does that make any sense I remember when the whole vaccine thing was going on I was like wait a minute so you mean to tell me that like if I get this vaccine which we don't know anything about and I come in contact with the virus the virus like knows it can't What, I don't, if I cough, I can't get anyone.

53:11How does that work? And she believed that? And even worse, there were people who believed that. So when Chuck Todd wants to say, oh, the algorithms and the internet. No, it's you, it's you. Go get a mirror, okay? Take a look in it. The face that you see staring back at you, which is a very ugly face, you look at it. The face that you see looking back at you in the mirror, that's the person to blame for the fact that your institutions aren't trusted anymore? How about the fact that Anthony Fauci and the hardcore left during 2020 wanted you to believe that some dude's old pair of boxers, right, that you could buy in Costco, were 25 cents a sheet, and you'd get like 100 of them, okay, could stop this super deadly scary pandemic.

53:59Give me a break. That's why the institutions and the trust in those institutions has been eroded, because you sold us a load of nonsense and told us blindly trust the experts. Well, when the experts are telling me things that don't make sense, I don't trust them. Sorry. And I was in New York for all this and we had to deal with the love gov, Andrew Cuomo. We don't want to put people on ventilators. Andrew Cuomo, who declared randomly, buffalo wings didn't count as food, but soup did in order to keep people out of the bars. Just insane. These people are nuts and they only have themselves to blame for the fact that other people are figuring out that they're nuts.

54:45Okay, finally. We've had these stories about these. I could not believe it when I heard about it a couple of weeks ago. What? These seized tankers. I was like, so like where do we get the authority to just take another country's ship? You know, and I could do that. They say speak softly but carry a big stick, right? and I have the biggest stick. You know that. And they call me King Donald with the biggest and most beautiful scepter the world has ever seen. Everybody knows about it. But I looked into this and so there are processes. If you sanction an oil tanker and then they go ahead and violate US sanction laws like that first one, they said they were using the US financial system.

55:25The tanker can be seized. I said, you know, this is interesting. And then we did it again a couple of days ago. They took another one and that is a third one that we're going after and I'm just going, alright, the President of the United States is a pirate. I love this. I think it's great. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I love pirates. But I'm just sitting there thinking, should we lean into this? It's the perfect time to bring back sea shanties. Sea shanties. Soon may the Wellerman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum. What would you do with a drunken sailor? Right? You put him in the brig until he's sober.

56:01I know all the sea shanties. And by the way, They call me the Pirate King. Check this out, right? They call me the Pirate King. That's it. The Pirate King is here. We have our own fleet. I got along very well with, they called him Blackbeard. You're not allowed to say that. I call him Beard of Color, right? Think about it. And I got along well with him. Captain Kidd got along well with him too. And we're going to make you walk the plank if you mess around. You know, we say F around and find out. We're going to make you walk the plank. and I have the biggest plank the world has ever seen. We're not going to make Chris Christie walk the plank.

56:37He's going to break the plank. We're going to slowly lower him into the water if we have to throw him overboard. We have to be careful because you throw him too hard, it's going to create what's called a tsunami and you don't want to deal with that. But the pirate king is here. Avast ye scurvy dogs. You're scurvy dogs, very scurvy. Swab the poop deck. Crooked Joe Biden knows a thing or two about the poop deck. he treated the vatican like the poop deck it was the only time the pope ever uttered the words holy sugar honey iced tea and i said to him mr pope you're not supposed to say that he said sir mr pope you're not supposed to say that the pirate king what do you think what do you think that's good i like that hoist the colors mateys yo-ho yo-ho a pirate's life for me think about it all right we're coming up on the end of this one guys and gals i hope you had a good time and i hope you have a very merry christmas as uh as we close in on uh on the most wonderful time of the year it's the most beautiful time of the year you know i love the fact that the pirate king is now he's got his own battleships named after him now the trump class warship and the the speech that he gave he was like it's the big i can't and i love trump i cannot count how many times he said It's the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, the greatest.

57:55Even the Navy secretary was like, yeah, these ships are going to be the best, top of their class, and the best looking. It's like Trump was probably elbowing him. Make sure you say they look nice, right? Make sure you say they look nice. I really appreciate the opportunity on behalf of the whole Silverlock team that gave this opportunity to me. You know, I told you the Dan Bongino origin story, my first time filling in for Vince a couple of years ago. So it means the world to be able to be doing this for you, with you. And it kind of is a full circle moment for me, right? Sitting on the Tappan Zee Bridge in 2018.

58:26Now we're here in Tennessee and hanging out with the Bongino Army right before Christmas season. I want to say thank you again to the entire Silver Lock team, Guy, Justin, and everybody who is involved in making this happen. This means the world to me. It is so much fun. I have a blast doing it.
