New Proof of Ilhan Omar's $5M Winery Fraud Just Went Viral

23:37So that's the kind of scary thing that I think about the future is these people are totally desensitized. They've watched everything. They can find everything on their phone. And now it's not necessarily about morals. It's that they think that violence is just acceptable in this day and age. Right. We didn't have laptops back in our day in high school. If you wanted to go out and protest, you had to throw a rock at somebody. You know what I mean? Like that was better. It was a better time. They can freeze accounts, shut off cards, lock people out of their own money overnight. Banks don't protect freedom.

Visit wallet.rumble.com. But also to illustrate how these bad ideas then leak into public policy. So it's not just that the celebrities are saying stupid things and we're focusing on it too much. It just leaks into everything. I thought this was interesting from Pajaro Verde. This is school board vice president. Her name is Joy Flynn. And she really does not like the word homeless. I am personally offended by what was presented.

25:22On so many different levels. One thing I would like to see updated is the word homeless to unhoused.

25:41I'm not done. I just don't want Mr. Berman for this to be on him. That's the way our state of California, that's the language that they use. And that's their reporting. That doesn't mean that's the language we have to use. I'm just making a statement. I just want to make sure that - Joy Flynn there, the Pajaro Verde School Board Vice President, she sort of represents everything that's wrong with all of this stuff. The quibble about the words, I'm talking, doesn't matter what they say. it's a little bit of everything there for you, Alex, which again, you may watch that and go, okay, that's just one little school board here.

26:25But then when you see all these videos, the kids going crazy, it's not. You know, I mean, well, what's the term we always use? Woke ideology, but like, that is the wokest crap I've ever seen in my life. And you know, the sad part about it is the homeless community is made up of vets and made up of American citizens. But if I'm an illegal immigrant, I'm going to get a free hotel room in Manhattan. So, you know, if she really actually cared about this, she would see that this system is a two-tiered justice system or a two-tiered social justice system that really affects illegal immigrants more than affects American citizens.

26:56And, you know, I'll say this. I'm a little empathetic to her because I could tell that she was getting emotional, not just because of that word, but she probably struggled. She might have been homeless at some point in her life, but that still doesn't give her an excuse to be retarded. So that's why I think, you know, it's really sad to hear her say that. I've been sitting here thinking, do I get to call this woman retarded? And I was going to say, well, I'll go with politically retarded or political retardation. It's absolute political retardation because she literally doesn't understand what she's saying, but saying it because of how it makes her feel.

27:26My initial response to everybody who says, I personally find it offensive, too effing bad, but I don't care. Now let's go in to find out why you think the word homeless has some sort of inherent intrinsic negative connotation to it. And unhoused logically means you have a house, but you're not in it. Homeless means you don't have a house. And it's not an offensive term any more than illegal alien is, but you can weaponize any term. And then in three years from now, you're going to say unhoused is offensive. We need to call them housed, but they don't have a house. So now we're going to find someone's house to give it to them.

27:56It's political retardation. You were literally saying what I was writing down as I was writing it. It just makes no sense. Like, even if you grant her every bit of empathy and she's a great human and doing good stuff and everything else, that they've whittled words into meaning things that they don't mean just so that they can be offended by one phrase or another that inherently is not more offensive than any other phrase. Alex, you got to show up at this board meeting and explain that to her. What are you doing? I know you said Perjaro Valley, California. I need to go there right now. I'll make her have an aneurysm if I get in there.

28:33You know, I'm going to bring my tuck friendly bathing suit. I'll bring a cast of characters in there. She would actually, I'm not even kidding. I think she would have a brain aneurysm and pass out. But I need to make him a visit next time I'm in California. All right, enough of these crazy people. Let's turn to a sane person I am talking about, our president, Donald Trump, who's trying his damnedest year into this thing to right this country while everybody's going after him. But he will not be here forever. And he did a sit down with NBC News a couple of days ago and was asked, what might come post-Trump?

29:04You endorsed in the 2028 presidential primary. I hadn't even thought of it, but probably, yeah. I mean, I'd be inclined to. I have great people. We have a great bench. We have a lot of people. But yeah, I think so. You've suggested that J.D. Vance, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be a tough ticket to beat. Who should be at the top of that ticket? Well, I don't want to get into this. We have three years to go. I don't want to, you know, I have two people that are doing a great job. I don't want to have an argument with or I don't want to use the word fight. It wouldn't be a fight.

29:38But look, J.D. is fantastic and Marco is fantastic. I do think this, the combination of J.D. and Marco would be very hard to be beaten, I think. But you never know in politics, right? They say in the age of Trump, you never know. Viva, I just don't think we're ever going to have a politician as honest as this guy ever again. I think that for as much as many of us have come around on him, I just think we still don't realize like his ability to everything he said there. I actually believe to be true. He likes them both. He thinks they'd both be good. I think he'd be happy either way with either one at the top of the ticket.

30:13He doesn't want to instigate a fight. He kind of tells the interviewer sort of a stupid question because we're three years away. It's just like it's all good. Well, first of all, he's also right in terms of not wanting to undermine his current VP, J.D. Vance. Now, things can happen in the future and, you know, J.D. can make his own decision in the future. I'll say one thing. I get a little bit of flack online because I'm critical of the administration, but only in the sense of trying to make it better and make them make the right decision, you know, the best decisions possible and let them know what the voice of the people are still thinking.

30:45Donald Trump is the best president in my lifetime, hands down. And, you know, top three in the history of these United States of America is not perfect. Administrations are never perfect. You deal with massive amounts of people that you're working with. But he is an individual as a president is the president at the time needed. And he speaks directly. He speaks honestly, sometimes too honestly. But there's no such thing as too much honesty. And he's amazing. He dealt with that question perfectly. And he's right. Between J.D. and Marco Rubio, you know, I like J.D. I also like Marco, who has risen to the occasion in this second term.

31:17You got two great candidates for 2020. I want to know who else is in your top three right there. I assume you have George Washington. The guy did, you know, put down the mantle of running the military and the government at the exact same time. That's pretty good. First president. I'll assume he's in there. Am I right? George Washington, Abe Lincoln, but although Abe, you know, had his foibles as well. And then contemporary presidents, Ronald Reagan, I think he also has his issues. But in my lifetime, I'm only in 47. It's it's hands down Trump. Alex, you see what he did right there? He's always been pissed that Lincoln freed the slaves.

31:48And that was his subtle way of saying it. Alex, go. No, he's the habeas corpus. Habeas corpus stuff. Well, you know, I think Trump did say something, though, that it resonated with me that there's no guarantee, even though Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance would be a hard ticket to beat in McKinney, you know, right near me, just north of me, a district that was 98 percent Trump voters just elected in a fill in race for state senator, a Democratic candidate. it. And a lot of people are going to underestimate Gavin Newsom or AOC, but the people that are blaming this loss are saying that the base is not energized.

32:23So it's very important that J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio start laying the groundwork because they need to energize the base. And nobody energizes the base better than Donald Trump. So that's what it comes down to. You're exactly right. He's not going to be here in 2028, or maybe he does run as vice president and gets to do a little loop and swoop and become the president again. That would be kind of funny and cool. But at the end of the day, we need to actually take this serious because I don't want President Gavin Newsom sleeping with the staffers' wives, and I don't want President AOC either. So we really need to take this as a serious wake-up call, especially with the midterms coming up in less of a year.

32:56Yeah, I think that's totally right. And also, look, as he pointed out, the bench is pretty deep. I mean, these are competent people in his administration. And obviously, I would vote for it with either one of them at the top and either one of them at BP. But let's continue with JD for a moment, because I thought this was interesting from CBS. Trump anti-fraud task force targeting California and more states to be led by JD Vance sources say, Alex, it seems to me to, you know, as we're all talking about fraud, kind of secondary to the immigration and deportation thing, it seems like he's giving JD a real opportunity here.

33:28Like if you can go in and be the czar, right? Kamala was the border czar, big failure there. But if you can be the czar to root out some of this corruption, that's quite a gift to hand you if you're going to run in three years from now. Yeah, no, you're exactly right. Like he's giving him the opportunity to basically be the quarterback of the team, you know, even though Trump's a real quarterback. I guess Trump's the owner and he's given J.D. Vance the ability to be the quarterback. But, you know, like I said, when it comes to the Trump administration, I love Donald Trump, but I think if the midterms go south, then a lot of people are going to lose their jobs.

34:01Not J.D. Vance, obviously, but it's just really important and the J.D. Vance starts stacking up wins now so that the voters are energized to support him because it's his position to lose. And I think he's on the fast track to be the president. But with the real sad tragedy in all this is I think Charlie Kirk was a dark horse candidate to be involved somehow. And I would have loved a President Charlie Kirk or Vice President Charlie Kirk because he was young, he has the base energized. I think that would have been an unbeatable ticket with Charlie Kirk on it. I said it when it happened, it was a preemptive presidential assassination.

34:31And I don't think there's any way around it, which, you know, leads you to maybe ask a few more questions as to how it occurred, because it wasn't just an assassination of a, you know, someone with a mic who does debates. It was a preemptive assassination of a future president of America. You know, I think I've only said this once on camera, but since you brought it up, the last time I saw Charlie was about a year ago. I was at a Prager U event at Mar-a-Lago and I'm standing with Charlie and you guys know how tall Charlie was. So I'm kind of looking up at him and beyond us in the balcony up there, Trump walked by and was waving to everybody.

35:04And I said to Charlie, I said, that could be you one day. And he goes, God help us all. And then he had that kind of funny smile that he always had. And it's like, I meant it. I meant it. And maybe he meant that actually, too. So we, yeah, we're not going to, we're not going to get him back, which is unfortunate. But yeah. I'll say something just to Alex. We have two very talented, very capable candidates. And I'm not trying to be funny. When it comes to the left and Democrats, competence is almost a liability, not an asset. What sells is the Zoran Mamdani, which is why I think AOC is particularly politically potent.

35:40And she, you know, she can sell you something. And to the low level information voters, they'll buy it. Like Zoran Mandani sold socialism and New Yorkers bought it. And the competence of the alternatives almost is a liability where it's too complicated to understand what J.D. is going to say, what Rubio is going to say. But my prediction for the winningest ticket of all time is J.D. Vance for the president and Tulsi Gabbard for VP. That, in my view, is the winning ticket. You know, it's weird. It's like I agree with your prescription on the Democrats. And it's in a way, it's like why we have to root for the failure of New York City, because only the failure of New York City could do some damage to AOC or whoever it's going to be on that side.

36:20It's crazy, crazy. Let's jump to one other thing, because my favorite political pundit these days is Nicki Minaj. And here she is going after Gavin Newsom. And he's making a fool out of himself, like when he went all the way to another country to speak ill of the country and the president. We would never want someone like that to be our president. Americans are so big on loyalty. And that just showed us all, you do not have a loyal bone in your body. And no one is going to vote for you. Stein, we can get to the substance for just a second. But that New York accent, I mean, my God, I've never heard anything better.

37:00No, I love Nicki Minaj. And she's probably going to get more canceled. You saw the Grammys. All they did was attack her. But this is the problem, though. Gavin Newsom is so full of shit. people will buy it. I mean, people will literally buy it. And a ticket with him and AOC, because I think Bernie's going to be too old to run. I do think that that ticket would be formidable. I hope that I'm wrong, but this guy is evil. He will do nothing. He will literally go at every length to win. He will lie, cheat, and steal like he did with his staffer's wife. So he has no moral compass. He'll break every law or every rule, whatever it takes to become president or vice president.

37:36So I'm worried about Gavin Newsom because he's such a scumbag. And in politics, believe it or not, being a scumbag can kind of help you sometimes. To be clear, what you're alluding to is that he quite literally banged his chief of staff's wife, who was his best friend. I mean, the guy when he was mayor of San Francisco. But Viva, to the to the context of what she said, she's obviously talking about Newsom showing up at Davos talking crap about America. And I was thinking about it. And this is why she's my favorite political pundit. Do you think any other country had opposition there trashing their own country?

38:05I bet you they didn't. I bet you they didn't. Well, he'll say, I'm not trashing my country. Gavin will say, he says, I'm just trashing Trump, who himself is trashing the country. Okay. Well, even that version of it, I bet you they didn't. No, no. The fact that he goes there as though he's some form of meaningful international political representative, it just shows his aspirations to be president. But Nikki's right and wrong on the one hand. He's a traitor, traitorous of sorts, disloyal to the country, that sells with Democrats. That sells with people who think that their country is inherently evil and they have to go on some groveling pity tour to apologize for the evils that their country has committed nationally or domestically and internationally.

38:47So she identifies his fault, but that's actually an asset among his demographic. They want to shit on America and they want someone who's going to go abroad and do it proudly. I mean, that's just in the nature of the of the party. Wait real quick I have to cut in I thought that he went to Davos to have a speech and then they didn't let him speak so they ended up letting him speak because I thought his speech got canceled am I am I not uh am I wrong? I think maybe his his like big speech got canceled but then he did all these panels and obviously was doing press the entire time you know he did a ton of press I saw that but yeah his main speech got canceled from what I heard so yeah and then when Trump was up there he's in the back doing all his weird body motions and like something is not.

39:28But Dave, you don't want to be unfair to Gavin. He apologized for having an extramarital affair with his intern there. He came out and said, I let you down. And can you imagine like, it was an Eminem lyric, not to quote Eminem, it's like, oh yeah, you talk of an affair like you slipped and fell into some woman's groin. Like these are fundamental judgment errors. And then you come out and apologize for it and expect everyone to forgive and forget. And they do because the collective memory, especially of Democrats is very short and they don't remember what he did. I think it was about 15 years ago now.

40:00I don't know. He's kind of tall. You know, he's always crossing his legs in those crazy ways. Maybe he did fall right into her vagina. I have no idea. Like, who are we to say? Sam Altman just announced that ChatGPT can now reference all your past conversations, every thought, question, idea you've ever shared. And with a former NSA director now on their board, Edward Snowden called it a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth. We've seen this before. Alexa listens. meta tracks everything you do. Why assume AI will be any different? And now OpenAI might even start asking for government IDs to use ChatGPT.

Let me see if I can break some of the ice off both of your cold hearts here because this is just absolutely incredible story. No sarcasm right here.

41:06This is from Colin Rugg on Twitter. New 13 year old Australian boy swims for four hours in cold and dangerous waters to save his mom and siblings who were swept into the ocean says God is who got him back to shore. The family was on kayaks and paddleboards when they were swept out about two and a half miles out to sea. After a conversation with his mother, Austin Appleby decided he would swim back to shore to find help. Everything goes through your head as a woman. Did I make the wrong decision by sending them? Because I knew he was the strongest and he could do it. I would have never went because I wouldn't have left the kids at sea, so I had to send somebody.

41:44There was no boats. There was nothing that we can get hold of. and then as it got darker, yeah, I thought there's no one coming to save us. I was fighting rough seas because I thought I saw something in the water and I was really scared. I was just thinking, I was just thinking in my head, like thinking I was going to make it through. But I was also thinking about all my friends at school and friends of my Christian youth.

42:14and yeah I just said all right not today not today not today I have to keep on going I don't think it was actually me did I it was God the whole time I kept on praying I kept on praying and um I said to God I'll get baptized get baptized and all that um and I went to church on Sunday. According to the AP, the family drifted nine miles from Quindaloo and spent 10 hours in the water. When he reached the shore, Appleby alerted authorities, who then sent out a helicopter to find his mom, 12-year-old brother, and eight-year-old sister. Austin's mom, Joanne Appleby, said one of the hardest decisions of her life was sending her son to shore.

42:55What a remarkable kid. I mean, guys, it's just incredible. The human spirit actually is just incredible. Alex? Well, I'll just say that he probably did have the power of God. It's like when a grandmother is able to lift a wrecked car over her grandson or granddaughter. But what I'm thinking, because I'm kind of a sick person, we need to get him in the women's swimming league because that guy is the next Leah Thomas. I mean, that's a champion. That's a champion swimmer in the making. My not-so-funny joke is the kid doesn't need to get baptized. he got baptized through that four-hour journey and finding God.

43:32It reminds me, I think it's, I want to say Nietzsche or Kierkegaard, who says, you know, the value in prayer is the change internally that it brings about in the person in terms of their connection to a God. You know, it's amazing. I don't know that as a parent, if I would ever let my kid do that. I mean, A, I would think I would want to do it myself, but B, I would say take our chances in the kayaks and drift, but swimming through four hours of cold shark-infested water, swimming for four hours on ordinary circumstances is impossible. It's a miracle. Nothing shy of it. And this kid for the rest of his life is going to have a very meaningful connection to God.

44:07You know, that would be a really lovely way to end today's show. But instead, we are going to launch a new segment right now. It's called This Week on the Internet. A little bit of television style comedy for you guys. Just bear with me as we do this. Because guys, a lot happens on the internet and we are an internet show here to cover it. this week on the internet, guys, while Billie Eilish in her$14 million mansion lectures us about how no one's illegal on stolen land, the Tongva tribe says, hey, colonizer, how about you give us our land back? The Tongva tribe literally wrote, as the first people of greater Los Angeles basin, we do understand that her home is situated on ancestral land.

44:49Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property. So the question is this, Billie, are you going to give the land back? You could maybe open it up to kill Moabrego Garcia. Or are you just afraid to be hit hard and soft? You get it, guys? Because that was her album and he hit his wife with a boot. Speaking of getting hit hard, Trump may smack Trevor Noah with a lawsuit over his Epstein joke at the Grammys. We're told his lawsuit could hit harder than this.

45:25that guy won dave that guy the guy the guy who had the toupee knocked off he won he won the fight yes yeah he won the fight believe it or not i've got he paid he paid 600 bucks for it uh and then he went and tried to get uh 650 back but uh yeah he uh or whatever you know or 700 bucks but yeah he won the fight lost his toupee won the fight yes no what i say i say this is you know maybe as a man with hair that I would, I don't think I would care if I were bald. Why wear a toupee? And especially why wear one in a boxing match? Viva, time out. Now I have to cut you off. Being bald is the worst curse that a man can face, dude.

46:02Being bald. No, serious. Are you serious? Viva, I thought you were a smart attorney. Being bald is a curse, dude. Nobody wants to be bald. Like that guy, if I was bald, I would glue so much hair on my head. I would, I mean, no way, Viva. Don't, don't ever say that. Being bald is the worst possibility that we can. I I love how Viva, you want to take your headphones off for a second. Your hair is the most psychotic, overgrown, maniacal creature I've ever seen attached to someone's head. To the point that we were in Ubers together and it was touching me at times. I was on a plane once. It was like the symbiote.

46:36It was like Venom. I was doing this on a plane, you know, like putting my hair over the back of the chair. And then the woman behind me is like, can you stop doing that? You're shedding on me. I was like, oh my gosh. but look I when I think bald I think Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames those are the two people I think of when I think of shaved head they wear it well they're cool um and uh I don't I don't think there should be a stigma around being bald oh really Viva an A-list actor is cool yeah no shit Sherlock I mean give me a break and let me tell you something I would cut off my pinky if it meant I got to keep my hair that's how serious I am and that's how that's why you take it for granted don't take it for granted because I'm starting to recede my dad's gotten two hair transplants I'm about to get one here and I'm still a young buck but when I get a little older I'm getting that hair transplant they're taking hair right from my butt because the hairs are this long putting it right here that's what they do it goes from your butt and your lower back it's where the strongest hair is I did not know that as long as we're doing late night comedy alright guys remember the time when Hollywood awards shows weren't always this way celebrities used to be respected, revered but it's now a place where they dress up like raw chicken what is going on there You will get salmonella just from looking at that picture.

47:44But sticking with the Grammys for a minute, guys, Taylor Swift wasn't there this year, even after the huge success of her era's tour. But it's interesting that she's not the only artist who's adopted this era's concept. Apparently, Lady Gaga is doing it right now. Although, rumor is that's actually Marilyn Manson with less makeup. I could be writing for Gutfeld. Who's doing this? It's incredible. Well, I think that same joke, apparently it's been a meme for a while. that people say you've never seen them in the same room together. Oh, I have never seen Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga in the same room.

48:18And guys, if you thought that wokeness destroyed Hollywood, wait till you see what it's done to video games. This is incredible. Because on Minecraft, it's Black, well, it's Black History Month. And on Minecraft, they are now quoting Tim Walz's Make Good Trouble. So if you're unfamiliar, I mean, this is real. If you're unfamiliar with Minecraft, it's a game where young children can build houses with friends. You can fight ender dragons, or apparently you can shove this lady into the back of the bus. Did you see this? This is, it's real. This is not real, Dave. This is real. Yes, it's real. That's really from Minecraft.

48:48Yes, but don't worry, guys. The kids are going to be all right unless you're an illegal on Roblox, in which case they're doing this.

48:59This is politics ruins every, politics has now ruined Roblox. You can't even play a game anymore without politics rubbed in your face. I literally don't know. Are you the ice agent or are you the guy with the hat or what? The point of all of this, guys, is that this week in the internet reminded us that celebrities' opinions do not matter. You can never appease the woke mob. And your parents were right when they told you video games were going to rot your brain. Alex Stein, Viva Fry, thank you for playing along. Have a great weekend. See you on Monday, everybody.
