The Mass Exodus (Ep. 2512)

27:12And you have a magazine capacity of two. And by the way, you can't carry anything more than a BB. You can carry a BB gun. That's two. Two BBs only. No! All right. I'm way over. I'm going to take a quick break. But I'm going to show you this picture in a second. You're going to see exactly what I mean. Stuart Varney had a great riff on this, too. People are leaving blue states because your states suck You understand? Listen to me Your states suck I'm really sorry to tell you this But seriously, liberals, do not come down here We are okay Everyone else, do you want liberals out of your state? Shout out South Carolinians North Carolinians, folks from Georgia You want liberals in your state?

27:51Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi Tell me, yes or no You want liberals in your state? We don't want you We don't want you. Stay where you are. Stay. Like they said in Braveheart, hold. Just hold. Stay. Don't come down here. Florida's closed. Hell no. Arizona's checking in. Wait, who's checking in? RW in the chat. free. Bump McGroin, Illinois sucks. Yes, it does. But don't come here. Everyone's saying their states are closed. Alabama state's closed. Texas is saying F no. Please don't join our states. We're not interested. Folks, weight loss injections are everywhere, but here's the catch. About 15 % of users quit because of the cost and another 15 % stop because of side effects.

28:42A while back, I had to drop some LBs. I was getting a little gooey. It was post-cancer. I was trying to put back some weight. I think I overshot a little bit. I lost a lot of muscle, you know, and that sob story. I did. So I overshot. I was about 238. No good. My joints were killing me. I got to tell you something. After the whole, like, cancer thing, I was really hesitant about some of these untried stuff. So I didn't want to get into it. So I said, Miles, help me out of Brickhouse. He said, Dano. I think he actually said Dano. Check out Lean. He said, we're working on this product. Give it a shot.

29:19I lost. I weighed myself in the Publix this week. You know they have the scale? Jasmine, in the Publix? The Publix. My mother-in-law calls it the Publix. You know the scale they have in there? I weighed in 195. Yes, I should have took a picture. It's for real. Lean works. Justin's like, none of this is in the prompter. I know. Lean helped me tackle my hunger. It helps support steady energy needs without constant cravings. This stuff works. Like I said, I lost well over 30 pounds on it. Lean did something injections don't help my body turn fat into energy. So I burn fat instead of storing it. I feel a lot better now, a lot leaner.

29:56My joints feel better, which is important. My favorite part, lean's a nutritional supplement, not a shot, no prescriptions, no needles. Give it a shot. I lost weight with lean.

Justin was very happy about the package this morning. He's still smiling. Jasmine's like, you really got to get it together today. You're way too energetic for today's show. It's a Monday. I slept good last night. Here's the picture that paints the, this is like, you want to see a bold difference?

32:21Here's Stephen Moore put out this tweet this week. People are evacuating blue states. Why? Because they suck. If they didn't suck, you wouldn't leave, correct? The biggest wealth transfer in American history isn't happening on Wall Street. It's happening on U-Hauls. Look at this number. This isn't a B and it isn't an M. It's a T. Over$2 trillion in income fled high-tax blue states for low-tax red states in just 11 years. And blue states' solution? Raise taxes again. Ladies and gentlemen, where are they going? They are going to Florida, to Texas, to Arizona, to South Carolina, North Carolina. Liberals, I'm sorry.

32:59The states are closed. Please stop. Where are they leaving? They are leaving blue, trending blue and purple, trending blue states to come to our states. Please keep the garbage policies in your states. Look at all the money that's left California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and now Virginia. What's the common theme? What are every one of those states led by? Yes, Democrats, Democrats. If they were so awesome, why is everybody leaving? We're so awesome. Everybody thinks we suck and you can't find a U-Haul. How is that even a thing? how is the ladies and gentlemen i'm telling you listen to me friends this is the biggest political story of our time in addition to the donald trump presidency which has transformed politics forever it has messaging the contours of what the republican party stands for there's no doubt whether you like them or you dislike them, fine.

33:59The Donald Trump MAGA revolution is an enormous story. However, the mass exodus out of shit blue governed states, because the people are really, I mean, I grew up in New York, folks. I lived in Maryland for well over a decade of my life. Some of my best friends are still there. Hardworking retired police officers, they just can't leave yet. They got kids in school and other things. They can't leave, but they want to. It is the biggest story of our time. Because, go back to the beginning of the show, the contrast is so powerful. There's no, people aren't leaving purple states for other purple states.

34:39They're not leaving red states for other red states. They are leaving deep blue states, high taxes, over-regulation, garbage schools. They are leaving them dead to red states that have the exact opposite. School choice, low taxes, the right to defend yourself. That's it. This is simple. Here's Stuart Varney. I saw this this week and a great riff on this, that how big of a story this is. The exodus is real. It's happening in live time. And I'm, wait, quick. I'm talking about it just after the redistricting gerrymandering story because folks, congressional districts, gerrymandered or not, need about 760 to 780 ,000 people to form a new or get a new district.

35:22As more people pile into red states, It's going to mean more red state congressmen. It's just a math problem for the left right now. Nobody wants to live in your states. Check this out. Let the exodus begin. Oh, actually, it started already. We're talking about mass migration within the United States from one group of states to another. This is America, and we move. But you ain't seen nothing yet. Consider this. In each of the next three years, 800 ,000 people will leave California and New York. That's 800 ,000 a year. Another 500 ,000 will leave Connecticut, New Jersey and Minnesota. These numbers are from economists Art Laffer and Stephen Moore.

36:06Quote, millions of people, thousands of businesses and tens of billions of net income will flee high tax blue states for low tax red states. That's the important point. People and money and jobs moving out of Democrat states and moving to Republican states. Taxes are what's doing this. I got a lot of great content ahead. The problem is I just want to skip ahead for a second to show you again the contrast, okay? So now Stuart Varney said it accurately and correctly, probably a little more eloquently than I have. People don't want to live with Democrat communists. Why? Pull up that Bernie Sanders video.

36:51This is from a while ago. Why am I playing old Bernie Sanders? Old Bernie Sanders, by the way, he hasn't changed a bit. So old Bernie Sanders, he's the same communist. However, do you want more of this? This is a question. By the way, this question is for independents and maybe moderate Republicans who are still considering long-term what their political home's gonna be. For liberal Democrats, this isn't for you. You're already lost, I get it. But there's always a third person listening. So I'm always trying to coax more people onto the other side and build a bigger coalition. Do you want low taxes, jobs, the right to defend yourself, school choice?

37:28Do you want that? Do you want more of this? Here's Bernie Sanders in one of the presidential debates, warning us about how the world was going to end in six years. So technically, it should be ending right about now. So this is just like an easily provable thing. Is the world ending or not? Correct? You want more of this or you want more red state freedom? Check this out. Scientists are telling us that if we don't act incredibly boldly within the next six, seven years, there will be irreparable damage done, not just to Nevada, not just to Vermont or Massachusetts, but to the entire world. Joe said it right.

38:07This is an existential threat. You know what that means, Chuck? That means we're fighting for the future of this planet. And the Green New Deal that I support, by the way, will create up to 20 million good paying jobs as we move our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. This is a moral issue, my friends. Hat tip, Maze Moore. For that great clip. So it's six years later. Do you notice how the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party is all performative bullshit? It's all an act, ladies and gentlemen. It's an act. It's a shtick. But here's the shtick. They're trying to tell you what's real.

38:54When you go to a play on Broadway, when you go see a movie, there's this thing called suspension of disbelief. Suspension of disbelief is that everyone in the movie knows it's fake But we suspend that for a moment And we get emotional Because we see the imagery and we want to believe it's real What's the point? No one sits up in a movie, right? Justin, you ever see someone get up in a movie In the Braveheart scene Hey, that's not real That's not a real war Nobody does that Everybody knows they're there to watch something fake They want to feel real We suspend disbelief The Democrat Party does the opposite The Democrat Party is acting in a movie, but they want you to believe it's real.

39:40We may be using this a lot. This may be Dan's favorite video of the day. Remember this guy, Justin Pearson? We played video of him last week just at the insurrection in the Tennessee House. So they were voting on a new Tennessee map that was basically going to be a 9-0 Republican map. Justin Pearson is a Democrat from Memphis I told you this guy's all It's all an act It's all bullshit They don't care about results They don't care about reality at all They just care about the act and the performance This video's been going viral all weekend Here's Justin Pearson giving a speech in a church And folks, this is real This actually happened By the way, this guy represents Memphis Which when we got into the FBI Cash and I, it's like the crime capital of the world we cleaned up Memphis with the DOJ.

40:32We had a lot of state help also and local help. The cops down there were great. But make no mistake, Justin Pearson had nothing to do with it. I never heard from this guy once because he was too busy putting on the act. What? Get me! Get me! Get me! Get me! Get me! Get me! Get me! Get me! Get me! That's bad for your knees, dude. That's bad. I got osteoarthritis. Don't, don't. especially in the shoes like that. Here we go. It's all an act. This is all bullshit. I never heard a word from this guy. Not a peep. Justin, give us a ring, man. Why didn't you call us? Memphis, supposedly you care about Tennessee issues and crime.

41:16This is all bullshit. This is the Democrats. This is Bernie Sanders. Bernie doesn't dance like that because he's a little older and he's probably got arthritic knees like me. Maybe AOC doesn't dance like that, but it's all an act. Ladies and gentlemen, it's a movie where nobody suspends disbelief. They think the act is real. They don't give a shit about real world results. Why are people leaving our states? Why are people leaving our blue cities? Because you suck. You suck. Suck. And you're mad at President Trump for cleaning up your cities. Axios, please. No friend to President Trump. Correct?

41:58Correct. Axios. Violent crime rates plunge in America's big cities, led by Democrats. Why is the crime rate plunging? Because the Democrats got all of a sudden tough on crime. Bull.

42:15Baltimore, Maryland, Suffolk County, New York lived in both places. Omaha, Buffalo, Aurora, Newark, Washington, D.C., Raleigh, Portland, Philadelphia. Crime rates plunging. Largest homicide drops we've seen in like forever. Who's in charge? President Trump, Todd Blanch, and Kash Patel. That's why. Because shocker, folks, when you go and arrest bad guys, they stop doing bad stuff. Because the bad guys are in jail. And it's hard to do bad stuff when you're incarcerated.

42:54Folks, we got to get better at this messaging thing. I'm telling you, like, don't sleep on President Trump's ability to cut through the fog of political messaging. He has obviously a different style than Reagan. But the ability to paint a contrast. Here's A, here's B. A and B are very different. A and B are very different. The Republican Party, I can't emphasize this enough. You know, I just remember when I ran for office in Maryland. And I remember all these people saying, Dan, you're running in a really blue state. You know, you're going to have to soften the tone a little bit. I wasn't softening anything.

43:32Go back and look at my campaign ads. Like I wasn't, I didn't soften anything. I was running on a message. If we lost, we lost. If we won, we won. But I was not going to forfeit our principles. No way. Not a shot. So don't people tell me, don't talk about abortion, all this other stuff. I was like, I'm not doing that. I'm sorry. Like I'm running because I believe in these things. and that's it. And the one race, we nearly pulled off the upset of the millennium, a congressional seat, no Republican had come within 15 points. We wound up winning on election day and losing on a recount that the following week.

44:08Number two is number two at that point, doesn't matter. The point is the message resonated because it painted a picture of a difference. Folks, you have to explain to your kids that these parties are different. Elon got into the Frey a little bit with this. And I love this tweet because this is so important. I get so sick of Democrats, academics, school teachers, you know, painting this bullshit historical image about, oh, you know, the right wing Nazis and all of them. They were not right wing. They were collectivist government centralized power. Elon wrote Hitler was a socialist. Therefore, all socialists are Hitler.

44:47I'm glad Elon's getting into the mix with his 400 million followers, whoever many he has on X. We have to start talking about this stuff. Why, Dan? It's the past. The past is prolonged. There are people out there who still believe FDR saved the economy in the Great Depression. There are people out there who still believe that Nazis were right wing. Right wing about what? The right wing is about dissolving power out where it belongs with individuals. You think the Nazis empowered individuals? Tell that to the Jews. Tell that to gypsies and others. It wasn't just the Jews they tried to exterminate.

45:23They centralized and collectivized assets and government ran everything. It's the same leftist ideology now.

45:35Tell your kids. Make sure your kids understand this. Don't let them rewrite the history of the Democrat South, that Democrats were the civil rights warriors. Bullshit! The Republican Party were the ones marching for civil rights. The Democrats joined the game later. Much later. Look it up. Kids, look it up. Don't take Dan's word for it. Look it up. You're going to find for the first time in your lifetime you're being told the truth. Wow, he's right. They were fighting Democrats in the South who were the Jim Crow warriors. And I don't mean that a qualitatively good way. Paint the picture. They need to see it.

46:24There is a difference between us and them. There is a difference, a big, bold difference. We believe in individual liberty and freedom. The collectivists, the socialists, the national socialists, the progressives, the Bolsheviks are all the same. No individual freedom. Give the power, the means of production all over to the government. It doesn't matter if they were Nazis, they were Soviets. They all did the same thing.

46:52paint the picture. That's why I keep playing these ads. And it's not about lionizing any particular politician. I don't live in L.A. But this Spencer Pratt campaign is, folks, it's like a Ph.D. course in messaging. I don't know what's going to happen. I know Karen Bass, the incumbent mayor in L.A., just bailed out of the debate because she's just getting crushed and smoked. I mean, that's never a good sign, okay? But Pratt does an interview with a local station out in LA, and he's just exceptionally good at painting this picture in a very blue area of the difference between him and the other guys.

47:31He makes it clear every interview. You would be stunned how many candidates cannot engage in contrast effect. They want to blur the lines to make it seem like, hey, you know, I'm just a little better than the Democrats. People don't vote for a little better. Ask Donald Trump. They don't vote for a little better. Especially in times like this. They vote for big, bold changes. Check out this interview Pratt did. This is really good stuff. Do you think you have an actual shot? And how and why? It seems that the odds are stacked against you. Yeah, thankfully, all my supporters in Los Angeles are Democrats.

48:08Everyone I know, my family, are all Democrats. I grew up in L.A. I went to Crossroads. Everybody that texted me last night, amazing, congratulations, are all Democrats. So what people are confused on, the Democrats all are behind me. It's just the socialists and the communists that don't back me. But no, I'm confident I'm probably going to win with 51 % on June 2nd because I don't do a political message. I don't do national politics. I don't do tribal politics. I don't talk about other states. I'm localized. I just want to fix our streets, get the lights on. I want people to feel safe. I want to get our tax money to not be robbed by these literal criminal NGOs stealing from our tax to increase the homelessness.

48:51So my message isn't political, it's common sense. So I have Democrats love me, Republicans love me, independents love me, libertarians love me, constitutionalists love me. It's just socialists and communists. It's just socialists and communists that don't like me. Folks, I'm telling you, this is like a political science 700. Yeah. Or else you have this. You have the dancing. You have the dancing routine. You have the performative bullshit, the non-suspension of disbelief bullshit, a movie everybody wants. They think it's real. This is not real. This guy actually lost his house in the Palisades fire.

49:32Really? There's a good podcast called All In Pod. They cover a lot of stuff. David Sachs, Chamath Palahapitaya. They're really good stuff. They get into politics, but it's not a politics-centric show. There's a lot of technology, AI, crypto. They'll talk about anything. They address this exact topic like this guy's social media team, Pratt, that is in LA. If there was some kind of gold medal of messaging, they deserve it because they paint the contrast. Reagan did. Trump did. Do you want a continuance of, you know, no water in the fire hydrants during a, you know, during a fire? Shitty public schools.

50:17Or do you want this? He was asked a question, Pratt, about. It was great. The answer was fantastic. Hey, people are comparing you to Mom, Dom. He was the same interview. You know, and he was promising, like, free buses. He's like, yeah, I'm promising free buses, too. Like, buses free of violence, public urination, shit in the buses, like all that stuff. That's what you'll be for. That's a great answer. Contrast. Contrast. Me, mom, dom. Me, mom, dom. Listen to the All In Pod guys talking about exactly this social media strategy. I'm telling you, man, take notes on this. You want to be an activist?

50:48You don't even have to be a candidate. You want to be an activist? Follow this team's lead. They're doing an amazing job. Contrast. Check this out. Spencer Pratt, if he wins this election, which I think he's going to in Los Angeles, the reason is what Brad said. Those ads are incredible. Yeah, well, he's up against Karen Bass, who's the mayor, who is basically extremely left-wing. And then there's someone who's a city councilwoman who's even further to the left of Karen Bass. I mean, she's often like Fidel Castro territory. She's an Indian Fidel Castro. Raman. So she was basically, I guess, criticizing the mayor for the homelessness problem.

51:25And then Pratt pointed out that this councilwoman is actually in charge of all these homeless programs already. He said if she went to the street, she gets stabbed in the neck. Yeah. Which is pretty accurate if you've been to Skid Row. I mean, you would not want to walk through there. Oh, God, this clip is brutal. This is a different clip, but this went super viral. It reminded me of Trump a little bit. Let's see. I'm not sure how to respond to that vision of Los Angeles. This is a MAGA Republican's idea of what Los Angeles looks like. Like, this is really not. Unbelievable. If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, you got to watch Pratt's response to her comment about him being a MAGA Republican.

52:11It's just natural and normal. And again, snapshots and soundbites. That's all politics is. The snapshot is just glorious. However, we are concerned about results. Get back to the serious stuff. Results. Results. Show me the spreadsheets. Remember Jerry Maguire, Cuba Gooding Jr.? Show me the money. Show me the freaking spreadsheets. And the Trump administration has them. I just showed you that Axios article. You think crime is down by accident? The only reason I don't talk about this story more is because I don't want it to be perceived as self-serving given my prior position. I would talk about this every day.

52:50But I don't want to bore you to death with stories about things we changed, DOJ changed. We're not the only ones. Secretary of War, Secretary of Agriculture. There's big, massive changes going on right now that the media is either tamping down, playing down, or just doesn't want to tell you about because they don't want to paint a contrast from basically the four years of ineffective bullshit, non-suspension of disbelief Biden era, and the Trump era now. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a second. Last break, I've got a lot more content for you. Folks, I am very concerned with privacy online.

53:28We have incidents, sadly, all the time. We actually had one this morning. I wish it weren't the case, but we get a lot of crazies out there. Criminals exploit weak systems. I know this.

55:01Code Bongino. Thanks, Deleteme. Here's what I'm talking about. For the nothing is happening crowd and all the blue state folks who tell us nothing is happening and then evacuate to red states where things are happening. There are things happening in blue states, too. There are. Yeah, because you exist in a federalist system where the federal government is jurisdiction on many issues over blue states, too. So there are things happening like crime dropping in blue states, despite the fact that they're led by blue state mayors and blue state governors who don't give a shit about crime. I'll never forget the Trump team, the DOJ, everybody being on board early.

55:39I remember when Mom Domi got elected. I called up the assistant director in charge in New York. I told him we don't work for Mom Domi. We're going to go in there and clean up these open air drug markets, whether he's on board or not. I don't give a damn. Federal charges are federal charges. We don't need this guy. Here's what I'm talking about. Here's a media clip about government jobs. Do you know how many people in the Republican Party have talked about shrinking government? Guys, ladies, we could run a montage that goes on for 15 minutes of Republicans engaging in the same performative dance routine bullshit Democrats do.

56:13I'm sorry, but it's true. We're going to cut down government. We're going to lean out government. We're going to trim the fat. We're going to cut the waste. You've heard all the euphemisms, all the phrases, all the bullshit. And honestly, most Republicans outside of like a few members of the Congress and the Senate, certainly not many Republican presidents over the years have trimmed down government. This is, again, one of those stories you need to hear more about. Here's the media forced to cover the fact that the explosive private sector job growth is even more impressive Because Donald Trump's job numbers would be even bigger if he wasn't in the process of actually doing what Republicans have said for generations And trimming the federal government payrolls I'm not kidding Check this out This is a payroll for the last two months dominated by private payrolls How do I know?

57:05Nicole another 9 ,000 federal jobs lost. That means since the peak in October 24, October 24, remember that date, the federal government is down 348 ,000 jobs. That's 11.5 % cut in the federal workforce. Despite that, jobs are gaining. It's all private sector. It's quite amazing, actually, Nicole. You get where we're going with this? Donald Trump could easily pad his job numbers in his administration. He's the head of the EOP, Executive Office of the President, by just expanding the federal workforce like Republicans who claim to be doing the opposite have done forever. But he's not because he's not full of shit.

57:50He's actually committed to trimming the federal government at his own expense, messaging wise, not results wise.

58:01there's more from the nothing is happening file. These are things that are happening. These are real numbers.

58:13It's getting bigger. Look at the shelves of things happening from the nothing is happening. We have to, you know, when they say those things on Twitter, like, you know, make this guy's Pinocchio nose grow longer every time, every thousand likes. We have to make that thing bigger, like every week, because the nothing is happening file is expanding. We have probably the best secretary of war, formerly secretary of defense, we've had in decades. You got a guy who went in there, Pete Hegg said, who was a friend, but I'm not saying this because he's a friend, who went in there as a transformation agent.

58:44He wrote books about everything that was wrong with the military. And the difference is, like President Trump, he went in there and actually did it. Do you have any idea how many Republicans have been appointed in this position who've talked about procurement problems at the Pentagon, government waste at the Pentagon, and almost nothing was done about it? Pete and his depsec over there, Feinberg, went in there, and they call him Deal Team Six. This is great. Check this out. We cut it down to just a minute. But here's a video Pete put out where finally, no more bullshit. They're actually doing this stuff, saving you billions of dollars of waste on weapons we don't need and projects that are stalled.

59:26It's actually happening. Check this out. A broken Pentagon bureaucracy was doing the same thing for decades. When our warfighters needed more weapons, aircraft and ships, the Department of Defense allowed contractors to double dip at your expense. They charge you, the taxpayer, to build their factories, and then charge you again for the final product. And despite paying companies to make weapons faster, schedule delays were constant, and cost overruns were the norm. All while their CEOs got rich. But today, President Trump's war department is flipping this rigged system on its head. We're not tolerating delays in production or cost overruns anymore.

1:00:14We've pushed out the bureaucrats who've made these deals in the past and replaced them with the most talented negotiators in the private sector. A group of businessmen so elite, they've been rightly dubbed Deal Team 6. We need Deal Team 6 in there. Do you have any idea how much money was being wasted? How many people talked about doing things about it and just didn't have just sat on their asses and did like the dance instead? Keep people distracted, dance a little bit. No more dancing. No more dancing. It's time for action and spreadsheets and money savings and job cuts where they're needed and job growth where it's needed and school choice where it's needed and low taxes where it's needed.

1:00:58No more dancing. Stop falling for this bullshit. Here's another one. You need more? Here's Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, on food stamp reform, otherwise known as SAP, SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. You know how many people are on these government assistance programs that don't belong there? And Republicans for years, this goes back to the beginning, the big bold differences, no pastel bullshit. They were like, oh man, you can't talk about that. There are a lot of people in need getting food stamps. Yeah, maybe. But the number is not what it is now. Do you know how many people are just coasting on these programs who have four limbs and a functioning brain who could go out to work to feed themselves?

1:01:43But because we provide this assistance, they don't. You're stealing from them their ability to create and add value to the world. You're putting them in the matrix, man. You're plugging them in and just barely keeping them alive. You're actually stealing from them by putting them on benefits programs and making a life comfortable where a bit of uncomfortability would motivate them to go and do bigger and better things. Donald Trump's not talking about it. He's doing it. Check this out. We've already moved about four and a half million people off of food stamps, off of SNAP in just the last year.

1:02:21More to come as the work, you know, we've got more people going to work, etc. But the flip side of that, Dana, is for the 240 ,000 retailers in America who take the SNAP dollar, what are they stocking on their shelves? So many of our communities get most of their groceries from the corner gas station or the bodega. So what are we doing? And so we just announced instead of only stocking 12 real food staple items, if you're going to accept the taxpayer dollar under the SNAP program, you now have to stock at least 28 of those real foods. We're closing the loopholes before. If you had jelly on your shelf, that counted for a fruit.

1:02:59And if you had jerky hanging there, that counted for a protein like a rotisserie chicken. But no more. Listen, I love jelly. OK, jelly's fantastic. please stop okay jelly is not the same as a grape it's not the same thing not only are they pulling people off snap that don't belong there but they're telling these retailers you don't have to take the government money but if you do i'm really sorry we're not selling jelly as a grape we're not doing it do you have any idea how this has been this has been discussed forever and republicans don't do it because they're afraid they want to take the edge off the politics.

1:03:40Oh, there are people in need. There are always people in need. The way to get them out of need is to incentivize them that a little bit of uncomfortability fall down, dust off and get back up. You can improve your own life. Stop making people's misery comfortable.

1:03:57Folks, the bench for us is just deep, man. We've got so many good qualified candidates and the Democrats have Dan and Justin Pearson. This is the Democrat Party. This is really, it's all performance, all show. We've got a bunch of ringers. Rubio's been impressing the shit out of me. I've got to tell you, man, this guy is just like bringing it every single day. Reminds me of the Wu-Tang song. I can't even bring it. He is just, he is just, I saw that, by the way, I think it was in Forest Hills when I was like 18. I don't think we were allowed in that club. We might have snuck in. I think the statute of limitations run out on that, so I think I'm good.

1:04:43This guy's just bringing it. He's asked a question about the ceasefire. Hey, you know, they hit us, and I thought there was a ceasefire. They hit us, of course we're going to hit back. What do you think, we're morons? I love the way he talks to these media people and points out their stupidity. Check this out. There's not much seizing in the firing. Well, you should ask that of the Iranians. Don't ask me. We didn't fire. They fired on us. My point is, if you fire at a U.S. Navy ship, what are we supposed to do? Say, oh, there's a ceasefire. We're not going to shoot down your drone. That's a stupid question.

1:05:10That's a stupid position to take. Of course we fired back at them. They were shooting at us. That's what I would expect to do. Only stupid countries don't shoot back when you're shot at. And we're not a stupid country. No, we're not a stupid country. However, we do have a stupid party that prefers dancing and performance rather than actual results. And that's why we have to paint contrast like Spencer Pratt's been doing and Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan did, too. When we do it, we win landslides like 1980, like 1984. Like 2024, that's when we win, not when we pussyfoot around and sand the edges down.

1:05:47You want more of this? Here's Maryland Governor Westmore. This is one of the most bizarre clips, I got to tell you, even for a guy like this, who's a far-left radical Looney Tune. This is crazy. Here's the governor asked a question about his young child. I think he's with PBD, Patrick Pet David. Good man. Ran into him at the UFC. Good guy. Here he is asking him, like, hey, you know, your young child, what if they want to, like, mutilate their bodies? This is, like, the craziest answer I think I've ever heard. Check this out. Your son comes in saying he wants to transition. What do you do?

1:06:27Well, first, if it's my son, so I love him regardless, right? And he's always going to have my undying love. That's me, right? I want to make sure that I'm involved in understanding where he is, how he's feeling, the way he's feeling, why he thinks it's important. and I want him to always know that he has a partner in me to help him along that journey. Would you advise him to wait till he's 18? If this is how he is feeling and I feel like I'm closely tied to him, I'm not going to advise him on something that he feels is right. At 14 years old, Wes? No, I understand it. But what I'm saying is I'm not going to condemn him nor castigate him.

1:07:21I'm not going to kick him out of the house. I'm not going to do anything that's going to hurt him. But I just want to make sure that I'm involved. You know what? I think I need to paint the contrast, too. Let's go to the goat first here. You know what I want to do?

1:07:40Now, you have choices, correct? We've been talking about it the whole show. You may say, Dan, why do you keep repeating yourself? It's annoying. Sorry, it's supposed to be annoying. You know why? You want to hammer home a point? And I want to win. I'm an activist first. Tell people what you're going to tell them. Tell them and then tell them what you told them. We are different than you. Yes, the liberals who are watching my show, who are obsessed with me. By the way, I love it the fact that I own you guys. You can't stop. You're just like, the obsession is just, I saw it this morning. It is insane.

1:08:14I must drive you crazy. Why? I don't know. why this particular show drives you so freaking bananas is just like, it's honestly fascinating to me. I like my show, but the level of like insanity I see in response to, it's just crazy. But I'm going to paint a contrast for you right now. You want more of that, Wes Moore? Yeah, cut my kids' balls off or something. Just be saying, maybe you should try to talk them out of that. just an idea, Wes. By the way, Wes has a problem. Wes might run for president. Wes's background is up there with kind of Da Nang Dick Blumenthal. Like, it's kind of like he's all over the place with his background story.

1:09:00We got to, like, iron that out. Well, you Democrats do before. Not that they really care. However, it's really important for, like, the rest of us, you know? What do you want, this guy? Clarence Thomas, ladies and gentlemen, is the GOAT. I've been playing a lot of clips and I don't think I mentioned it last week, but I'm mentioning it now. One of the reasons I keep mentioning this is Clarence Thomas is now the second longest serving justice. I think I mentioned that on Friday, but this guy has just been an anchor for our movement for so long. And I think the shame of it all is that the mainstream, if Clarence Thomas was a Democrat, he would be on his own Mount Rushmore.

1:09:39They'd have a judicial Mount Rushmore, Mount Rushmore, and they'd be carving his face into it. but because he's a conservative and a brilliant one who understands messaging as well as anyone and is a real badass by the way liberals just play down this guy's legacy and it's really a shame I want to remind you man when he was going through one of the worst before social media media just attacks and most disgusting things you've ever seen because the liberals were so afraid of him just like they were afraid of Reagan afraid of Trump and this is now in LA they're afraid of Spencer Prath. I'm not comparing them all in their careers.

1:10:16I'm just saying they're afraid of people who paint these just big, big, bald contrast differences, contrasting differences. They asked him why he wasn't bailing out of his Supreme Court nomination hearing despite brutal, disgusting, filthy attacks against him. This is one of the greatest responses ever. This guy's the GOAT. Check him out. I'd rather die than withdraw. If they're going to kill me, they're going to kill me. So you'd still like to serve on the Supreme Court? I'd rather die than withdraw from the process. Not for the purpose of serving on the Supreme Court, but for the purpose of not being driven out of this process.

1:11:02I would not be scared. I don't like bullies. I've never run from bullies. I never cry uncle and I'm not going to cry uncle today whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not Praise the goat! The goat!

1:11:22I didn't see that, that's pretty good That guy is a warrior man So all the young kids listening the teenagers out there I'm happy to have you man You are obviously the future I'm not going to be around him I'm not dying or anything. I'm just saying I'm 51. I mean, let's hope I make it 50 more years. But you're the future. You got a lot more life ahead of you. You don't need the dances and the routines and the bullshit. You need a guy like that who articulates a vision of freedom and liberty that people are moving to in a mass exodus. Folks, last story of the day, piece of good news for you. I am very, very happy that there was a decision made and a real tragedy.

1:12:07Obviously, the brutal assassination and murder of our good friend Charlie Kirk. But the judge has ruled on transparency and openness in the courtroom. I think this is a really good decision. Fox covered it as it was breaking last week. And I'm all in. The public should see everything, everything they can. You should see it. So check this out. Cameras will be allowed in the courtroom for the entire Charlie Kirk murder trial. The case against his accused killer, Tyler Robinson, is the case we're talking about. And we also learned that a preliminary hearing is set for early July. It was supposed to be in May, so that's a little bit of a delay.

1:12:44I wish the case was moving along just, you know, a little bit quicker, but that's not for me. However, we should see everything. I think I think it'll make a big difference Folks thanks again for tuning in I really appreciate it Thank you for coming Thank you for coming back to the show Dan I've started new supplements Also been consistently doing my exercise snacks Good for you 10 squats an hour Got four colleagues to join me too May God bless you Thank you guys I appreciate that He left a dollar tip You don't have to leave tips I appreciate it Very nice of you Justin's like wait and this going into my give, send, go, Justin.
