Summary

Dan Bongino discusses Trump's foreign policy successes (Iran strait closure, oil prices), defends due process against false accusations, and warns of Democratic demographic strategy through open borders to manipulate census redistricting for electoral advantage in 2030.

Insights
  • Numbers of accusations don't equal evidence; famous people attract more accusations due to visibility, not guilt—confusing volume with validity inverts justice
  • Democrats' open border policy is strategically tied to census redistricting; illegal aliens counted in 2030 census would preserve electoral college votes as populations shift from blue to red states
  • Trump's policy wins (Iran, manufacturing, inflation) are attributed to 'luck' by critics, but consistent success across multiple domains suggests strategic competence rather than chance
  • Loss of institutional trust creates 'checking out' phenomenon where citizens disengage from civic participation, weakening democratic participation and enabling institutional decay
  • AI superintelligence poses existential risk not through malice but through indifference to human welfare—requires serious governance, not political theater
Trends
Demographic destiny strategy: Democrats leveraging immigration policy to influence census-based redistricting and electoral college allocationElectoral college vulnerability: Republican gains in population-based representation (Florida, Texas, Idaho, Utah) threaten Democratic House/presidency viability by 2030Institutional distrust acceleration: False accusations and politicized justice erode confidence in systems, driving civic disengagement across demographicsAI governance urgency: Superintelligence development outpacing regulatory frameworks; quantum computing and hypersonic weapons require immediate policy attentionManufacturing renaissance: Post-pandemic reshoring and supply chain localization showing measurable gains in employment and business sentimentVoting bloc consolidation risk: Minority voters concentrated in single-party voting patterns reduce political leverage and policy responsivenessCeasefire diplomacy: Trump administration pursuing unilateral peace initiatives (Lebanon) independent of traditional ally preferences, signaling policy autonomy

you just throw up lucky Trump this is the luckiest guy I'm telling you I've never seen there he is got a point the opposite direction on the couch did that first time it amazing lucky Trump you see just before the show one line I'm gonna go the other way it just before the show starts the Iranians who what did we say yesterday fellas ladies in the audience Donald Trump who never has a playing right on top now he's taking over my show lucky Trump it's the lucky Trump show not the Dan Bongino show so just to be clear yesterday because unlike the doomers the black pillars of the the dipshittery class the media the DC swamp and the other imbeciles who are consistently outfoxed by President Trump he had no plan he had no plan for Iran for the straight remember just three weeks ago he had no plan and I put out a tweet oh there's a plan I'm sure of it and people were like you know what you're talking about but yeah amazing the Iranians are like the Iranians now who just what seven days ago said we are shutting down the straight and the media jasmine right the media was like yes the Iranians one yes our debt to America Muller buddies what the media was so excited and Trump said you want to shut down the straight double-barrel middle finger to you I'm shutting down the straight you think you're shutting down and the Iranians were like damn what do we do now because as I said on yesterday's show you're constantly ahead of the news cycle here the Iranian oil tanks can only fill up to a certain amount where you have to start to drain them or the entire delivery system to the tanks starts to get damaged kind of like what happens with our spro as well strategic petroleum oil reserve it happens on our end too you have to refill and drain these things and keep the pipelines moving their Iranians can only have done this for about two weeks we're a weekend and now this morning and I'm gonna get this a little more later I was gonna start to show it's something different but I just I have to laugh at you idiots in the blackpill doomer media swamp class you're constantly effed by Donald Trump because you're so freaking stupid stop being stupid he doesn't do everything right I don't do anything right nobody does but you saying two weeks ago and three weeks ago he has no plan and any implements a plan the Iranians fold he wins and you're gonna be like the oil is now plummeting dramatically crude is down right now 10 and a half it's down 11% $10 how many times are you gonna get your balls kicked into your throat you don't listen guys ladies you're not obligated in a representative democracy there is no stipulation in the Constitution with mandates you like Donald Trump you don't have to do that you don't have to vote for him either this is not a dictatorship but you do have to stop being stupid once in a while if you want to start stop looking like a moron with scrambled eggs all over your face every day it's amazing how many of you continue to humiliate yourselves I get it with the left-wing media but the doomers and the gloomers Trump he's an Israeli puppet really he's an Israeli puppet strange because he cuts the ceasefire with Lebanon whether you think it's a good or bad idea is irrelevant and it turns out the Israelis aren't really that happy but then here's the way he dipshit a reclass here's the way puppets work you ever seen a puppet so you're claiming like the evil Israelis they're holding the puppet strings you know the puppet strings a little crime you manipulate the puppets the puppet master and Trump said the bottom doing his puppet thing right that's desertion it's kind of weird it's like the puppet at the bottom is doing its own thing sending a signal back up to the string to the purpose supposed to be the puppet master it's like the actual puppet was the master so weird how you keep getting wrecked you are idiots I have no respect for you at all you've never done anything you've never gotten off the sidelines all you do is with your crank in your hand sit in the front row with a boxing ring you're right you don't even sit in the front row because you're too freakin stupid to get seats in the front row you sit in the cheap seats and you boo and throw popcorn and you never do a freaking thing you never shut up you just got wrecked again this wasn't even a beginning of the show but in case you missed it do you have that Wall Street Journal article just about the straight I just want to show you show you what we're talking about I'm just so fired up about this because it just happened a little bit ago I told you the Iranians have to sell the royal in two weeks or the system's gonna collapse it's been seven days the media people who celebrated the Iranians beat us they shut down the straight Donald Trump says I'm shutting it down now the Iranians are saying quote the straight of Hormuz is open oh shit it's like we said yesterday the iradians really need to sell the royal Wall Street Journal oil prices fall after Iran says straights of Hormuz are open my gosh are you people serious can you be or look any dumber every single day as this guy just backhands you all right I got

to throw back in there because that's mine thank you dose we love you lucky trump strikes again now I'm gonna get back to that but I have to start the show with something else because it is really critical and important given everything that's going on with that scumbag Eric Swalwell who is just a horrible person outside of every person's innocent or proven guilty I do not get into pylons when it comes to criminal allegations let the process play out you know I have not been on this case from that perspective however I need to show you a video clip and if this doesn't hammer home a point I've been making to you forever nothing will and I'm sorry but we can't be friends folks this is why I do not get into pylons when it comes to things like the me too movement or elsewhere or for it doesn't even have to involve sexual harassment any kind of allegation of criminal activity you as a united states citizen are innocent or proven guilty I have no problem discussing it but I'm not going to pile on and assume anything because people are entitled to due process whether it's Andrew Cuomo whether it's Eric Swalwell or your favorite politician you know why I don't get into this stuff because this is what happened to Donald Trump I want you to watch this clip here is a golden rule to live by and you will never be on the wrong side of this issue when it comes to allegations about this guy did this or this woman did this or Brett Kavanaugh did this or Donald Trump did that do not believe all women believe good evidence do not believe all men believe good evidence I'm going to show you this clip this is a podcast this is Brad Palumbo and he has on a friend of mine CJ Pearson and he asked CJ Pearson a question about all of these accusations against Donald Trump I'm going to tell you a quick story afterwards because this is the whole thing like accusations are accusations and yes people who are famous and who have name recognition are treated differently in this space not legally but in the accusation space because more accusations are made against famous people because more people know them it is a math problem I'll explain you what I mean in a second but watch this clip first and you'll see exactly how this faulty logic plays out check this out 27 women that have accused President Trump of various forms of sexual misconduct CJ do you think all 27 of them are lying you know I don't know those women I don't know all all their stories and all their allegations but at the end of the day what I do know is who President Trump is and President Trump I think is a man of character and I think the American people see him as that which is why they sent him back to the White House but what I do find interesting is the timing of these allegations and this was someone that you know lived in the limelight was a very successful person before he even ran for president but it wasn't until he ran against the establishment ran all holding them to account draining the swamp that all of these people came out of the works to accuse him of these things the same thing happened to Brett Kavanaugh so yes then you think 27 are lying I think the one who cheated on all of his ex-wives again I don't know these women and honestly it's something you probably shouldn't be weighing on destiny but when it comes to the fact I'm not the president of the United States do you want to say that? I'm glad that you can hold other people to different things than you hold yourself. Folks this clip I saw yesterday drove me bananas and good job by CJ Pearson. I don't know Brad Palumbo I know who he is but I think he's he's a libertarian so you're confused as to why a man who's been in the public space like Donald Trump for what guys 50 60 years who I don't know I haven't done the quick math you're confused why a guy like that would have a number of people making accusations against him let me help you out when I was doing my time as a protective intelligence agent in the Secret Service those are the ones that analyze threats okay the PI squad back in the day people who threaten the president get referred to the PI squad I was in one of the busier ones in the New York field office why are there a lot of threats that come out of the New York field office Justin any guesses because there's a lot of people in New York we would get probably one or two a day from a crazy person who would call in and say I'm going to do something to George W. Bush or Barack Obama because they're sending CIA rays into my head I am not joking this is not meant to be funny I am being as serious as a freaking stroke okay we would get maybe one of these a day say it's one a week that's being it's not it was more than that say it was just one week that's 52 a year so Palumbo is curious as to how a guy like that could get 27 27 I wouldn't be surprised if it was more people do then say this stuff all the time about famous people there were all kinds of incentives that I'm not telling you everyone's lying about everything all the time I'm just telling you like why should he be treated different because people know who he is his name is out there in the public space and he has money this happens with famous people all the time do you have any I did you miss the whole me too thing where there were legitimate cases that were quite disgusting and then it spiraled into like the Salem witch trials you're confusing numbers with evidence folks I'm telling you in my I don't know how long I was there a year or so in the PI squad I must have reviewed probably 25 30 cases myself there were like 10 agents in the squad of people swearing that George W. Bush or Obama sent some kind of death ray into their head and they needed a shield for it or they were going to do something does that make it real why didn't they say Brad Palumbo did it because nobody knew Brad Palumbo but they knew Trump they knew Obama they knew Bush folks we do not believe people we believe evidence people present if the evidence is valid and accurate man do you want to devolve into a society of lunatics where with social media anybody can accuse anyone of anything Joey Bagadona stole my puppy your puppy's right there in the house doesn't matter I said it believe all men and believe all women this is the numbers fallacy that just because a number of people with various motives say something it's automatically assumed to be true it inverts the entire justice process that's why I don't get into this stuff whether it's Andrew Cuomo, Swalwell or others let him fight it out in court yeah he should resign the guy should have resigned over Russiagate he appears to be a scumbag the video evidence is pretty strong that he was a scumbag but is he a criminal though he's entitled to a day in court like anyone else I'm really sorry some of you didn't like that you defend I'm not defending any I'm defending the process and justice I'm not defending a person folks this stuff you want to descend into anarchy and like Vigo Mortensen the road total chaos let's start doing trial by Twitter because this is what winds up happening folks dealing with having been on the president's detail and in a PI squad for about seven of the 12 years I was in the Secret Service there are more mentally ill people out there than I think you understand now not all mental illness is directly correlated with violence but some of it is that's undeniable and there are a lot of them out there I don't care what anyone tells you I've seen it I've had to go out and run this stuff out and investigate it when you start pumping out there this guilty until proven innocent BS crazy people ingest it and do crazy things i.e the murderer the healthcare executive up in New York you see them like what he was doing with health care he doesn't deserve to be shot in the freaking head you crazy sickos why are you bringing it up now because I just saw this tweet yesterday put out this tweet by that Rubenstein guy some other lunatic now showed up at the open AI guy Sam Altman's house with a Molotov cocktail Adam Rubenstein notes on Twitter I spoke to the man accused of trying to kill Sam Altman one of the reporters DM'd him asking him to elaborate he says he was interested in Luigi ing some tech CEOs like the accused killer of the health care executive up in New York Luigi Mangione there's the article right there folks I'm telling you I'm not going to get into that I'm not I know it's like there's a group of people out there that love the conspiracy bullshit and you know everybody's guilty until proven innocent I'm not doing that and you should neither you want a republic then you damn well better try to maintain it and having a republic means even defending the worst of us sometimes against false accusations because they're going to turn around and come for you it is only a matter of time before everyone goes down if that's the standard people accuse people famous people of things all the time when you see it and you live it you do not get confused by the numbers fallacy and I'm sorry I don't have any beef with Brad Palumbo he's entitled to his opinion and his show but I think CJ Pearson did an excellent job debunking that just because 20 or 30 or 50 people say something that a million people have said Donald Trump is Hitler with no evidence that's true either does that make that true do you believe evidence or not folks the problem with false accusations outside of the obvious is they promote a system of distrust and institutions a distrust exacerbated by the Obama-Biden regime where nobody trusts anything anymore I know I lived it it doesn't matter what we say or what we did in these cases whether it was Charlie Kirk or the pipe bomb it doesn't matter there are people out there you can slam them in the face with hardcore evidence and it doesn't matter they're not interested in truth they're not interested in process they're not interested in justice they're interested in clicks and they've fallen for the Kool-Aid process they are now guzzling they're not even guzzling they've got an IV mainline of the Kool-Aid there is almost nothing you can do to get them out of it the best you can do is never fall into it in the first place false accusations promote distrust and what does distrust promote what I'm going to call now the checking out phenomenon where people like I'm done I'm done with the whole process I'm not voting I'm not getting involved everybody sucks all the time you don't have a choice you live on this rock well you do have a choice checking out is a choice but you live on this rock called earth where there's always going to be some system of government or you're going to have anarchy there is no other option it's anarchy or at least some system of government that respects civil liberties there has to be some coordination in a country of 330 million people so you're going to have what do you want to live in tps and a freaking tent no roads no nothing no mail no internet you really want to go back to ii i don't know and i'm not interested so if we're going to have this massive land mass we call the united states where hundreds of millions of people are going to live here there's going to have to be some central mechanism by which we coordinate i prefer that to be a light footprint as small a government as possible however we need something i noticed the people preaching anarchy don't actually live in anarchy they're more than happy to use their iPhones they got because there's an established system of capitalism in this country protected by contract law when you totally completely mistrust institutions even when we win elections you get this checking out effect where people just don't want to be involved at all and i can only remind you of the famous cliche you may not do politics but politics does you i have kids i'm going to try to make this beautiful republic we have better yes it is an imperfect union it's never going to be a perfect union however it's the best damn union that's ever been tried before and i'm not checking out on squat we got midterms coming up and i got kids to fight for mine and yours and i'm not giving up on anything which leads me to the goat right here i don't mean a goat i mean like greatest of all time i know you've seen a lot of this clarence thomas footage that emerged after he gave one of the most spectacular it's actually on fox right now he gave one of the most spectacular speeches i've heard in like forever but there's a piece i have still not seen out there from the speech he gave the other day it is about exactly this there is no checking out folks there is either fighting for a better government or giving up and getting your balls kicked in that is it i don't want my nuts kicked in you know why it freaking hurts i like them just where they are i'm like sorry there it's on fox right now again proving you like the show is live some people it's not sure what yes it's live i promise i can't show you my watch you can manipulate a watch but that's an actual uh clock right there that's running on uh satellite time so here is clarence thomas talking about exactly this the dangers of quote checking out check this out i think if we don't stand up and take ownership of our country and take responsible for it we are slowly letting others control how we think and what we think uh the i think the beauty of going to school uh is that you learn how to think for yourself you develop the discipline to think things through and you if you think it's losing confidence then you get up and you participate you don't sit on the sidelines you think that the country that the the state is being run and inconsistent with how you feel then you get up and you participate you prepare yourself if you think that the medical profession is not right whether you become a doctor or be a medical uh on person and you deal with that uh i think we need to take ownership of our country it's our country i love this man i love i really guys i mean i mean that i get all choked up i love this man i i there is nobody in government i respect more no one nobody i absolutely adore clarence thomas the absolute go capital g o a t greatest of all time there's no checking out it's ours like we own this place it's like a gym we bought with our friends you don't just say like i'm gonna let it run itself yeah but we got a guy in the corner complaining about the bench press machine so put some wd vortion and fix it brother let me tell you what a good guy clarence thomas is for those of you haven't heard this story i'm working a secret service detail years ago michael churtoff's front lawn we used the dhs secretary we all had to go to what they call dpd at the time before the president's detail dignitary protective detail so i got shipped over to michael churtoff's house justin have you heard the story i'm sitting there it's late at night clarence thomas had come over to dinner with his lovely wife jenny who's a friend who i adore it's pitch black i'm not gonna tell you where they live but it was pitch black i mean the moon was it was not like a uh a bright uh lit moon like a full moon you couldn't see anything so when clarence thomas is leaving the dinner i'm about 25 feet away i flash a flashlight so nobody trips in the driveway getting to their car so i'm really just focused on looking around because i'm there to do security not be like the valet so i'm looking around but i'm not really paying attention to anything other than you know if there was any like gunmen in the woods or anything right so i hear someone says something and i don't really think anything of it because i'm focused on the flashlight then i hear it again and it's it says it louder and i hear have a good evening and it was clarence thomas and i realized like he had said to me i was some you know average secret service agent protector i was no he had said have a good evening and i didn't respond he wanted to make sure like he knew i recognized that he was concerned about how i was like it was just and he looked it was just like i don't know it was a small thing but nobody they don't want ever said anything to us like we were just like the help you know that's how people viewed us no one ever said anything and he wanted to make sure like he knew i knew he cared you know i don't know just a small thing but it still to this day i remember it because he's that's just the kind of guy he is the goat there's no checking out there is no checking out this is your country it's yours you watching right now you hear me or you see me i'm pointing at you in live time this is yours there is no tapping out i'm going to show you what happens i found this clip yesterday it's along the same lines but you know i hate racial identity politics i can't stand it nothing offends me more than the idea that you are without agency in your life and some systemic discrimination puppet is controlling everything you do no they're not controlling what you do you live in the freest country on earth you can do something else you just choose not to and when you choose not to and fail a lot of people want to blame the system the man donald trump did it i hate that and i found this clip of this black preacher talking about how in the black community voting unanimously for one party is just a tactical nightmare you're just there is no reason even if you hate if you're a black voter watching the show black man or woman i don't care if you vote or not it's up to you i have said to you over and over please in the name of all that's holy i am begging you as a conservative republican to please consider us as a party if i don't understand how you could be you know for people who claim to be are you conservatives or are all racist if we're racist why would we be practically begging people to consider us as an option we hate you so much we don't want you around we're begging you to be in our part this is the dumbest thing i've ever heard donald trump's a racist he gets a lot of black votes uh well he's a really bad freaking racist this is a great clip i'm gonna take a quick break and i want to show you what i mean i'm asking minority voters who are interested in freedom and liberty to get away from this like puppet master systemic discrimination bullshit there is a party out there that is there for you that is the conservative movement that is the maga movement clarence thomas has been preaching this stuff way before i was even alive phew a little energetic this morning as you can see

i saw yesterday i just want to get out on the show check this out we actually in a place where the only way you can be black and stand with your people is to be a democrat now if that's where we are we're the dumbest people on the face of the planet and we're the only people in america who operate that way you can be white and be a republican or democrat hispanic and be a republican or democrat

there's no the math was just it was like a thousand to one there is no way in is it 16 20 the pilgrims who came here and landed in plymouth there is no way they should have survived there were what about a hundred of them i think half of them made it they shouldn't have even made it they were infected with the flu people were dying they were starving they had a really rough winter that year they couldn't figure out how to till the soil how the hell did they make it it was just luck it's not luck man how the hell did we beat the british again in 1812 we were saved by like a thunderstorm we survived two world wars a civil war the hippies in vietnam we have and we're still growing and even more powerful you think this is all luck and you want to give up because after a month of war overseas where we've destroyed the iranian malatheocracy chanting death to america trying to kill us with nuclear weapons who tried to bargain with the strain got it shoved right up their caboose you're worried i can't believe it i'm out i'm not giving up man because whether they were the pilgrims people who fought for civil liberties fought for civil liberties in the civil war my uncle who was shot in the back and got a bronze star with a v device in vietnam for saving his buddies my grandfather who fought in world war two they dealt with a lot more tough shit than we're dealing with what are we dealing with some guy on twitter called you an asshole like that's not a thing fuck him pardon my language sorry i'm trying to get away from that that's not a thing you know what a thing

wheelchair yeah light that chat up with american flags you're damn right that american flag means something folks it's not a freaking tablecloth okay we have one in the background for a reason it's the idea the flag that matters it's not the fabric i don't care what it's made out of it can be made out of paper kids draw american flags on pieces of paper it's the idea that matters that guy mike egan is the idea clarence thomas is the idea clarence thomas didn't even have a bed growing up i heard this morning he slept in a chair and he was a supreme court justice you want to give up because what donald trump sent out a mean tweet you want to give up because what oil gas gas and gas prices were up a dollar while we went and deposed of a nuclear threat and they ran now they're down ten dollars per barrel you want to give up i'm not giving up i'm not giving up on squad and i know you're not either i did give a lot up i gave up my job to go run for office i gave up my job again to go back into government for the first year of the trump administration i'm not asking anybody for any pats on the back that's just what you do people have sacrificed a thousand times more than i have i live a good life i'm not struggling out i don't deserve any extra praise i'm just telling you like there's no excuse for that shit just go look up what the fighting in best stone at the battle of the bulge in world war two with these guys went through and you're you're giving up because donald trump sent out a mean tweet that bullshit i'm doing that man that that chat's on fire today and i'm going to tell you something outside it's really starting to exhaust me i mean we've made a joke out of it to you know to kind of use sarcasm as a tactical olinsky like weapon in this show because that when you poke fun at these other idiots they have no natural comeback every single time donald trump outfox is one of them in some strategic decision they said he didn't have in his head i've been in a room with him he takes in everybody's opinion synthesizes it into an output and then he's going to be in a room with him he takes in everybody's opinion synthesizes it into an output and a good amount of the time he makes a very effective leadership decision don't tell me what it's i was there i wasn't there every day with the guy i don't want to be dramatic but you're in the sit room maybe once a week or so with him or his team and you see how they synthesize information he's not lucky okay he's just good you can say he's lucky lucky trump did it again in the street it there why does it sound the fact now look at this that's for the apple and spotify folks but if this guy's lucky how is it that so many people are just falling for it somebody he's just lucky lucky donald trump now we've heard from podcastistan right we've i didn't make that up i saw i did not make that up i know it's fun just like i didn't make it we've seen from podcastistan that donald trump has made some horrendous decisions over the last few months we have no real evidence of that now that we've seen the situation aran maduro inflation coming down to ppi inflation we've seen it all working in his direction correct tax returns going up uh your your uh tax refunds more money in people's pockets we've been told he is he's losing folks everywhere he's and he's just lucky to be holding on to it really here is our favorite cnn pollster i don't know how this guy's not been fired yet here's harry antin at cnn yes cnn not fox here he is on a poll and why do i say this is an important group of people he's pulling harry antin in this clip this is why i'm putting it after clarence thomas nothing's by accident i played clarence thomas then i played the clip of that uh pastor the preacher excuse me telling black voters do not monopolistically vote for one party make them go get you there is no group of people in america that does that better than seniors none so the seniors watching my show one thank you for your service many of you and and world war two of the very few alive but vietnam and elsewhere um afghanistan iraq thank you all thank you to the seniors who built this country i hate these like this mentality now like boomers on bus shove that up your ass these guys did more you kid me they lived a really tough life for you my grandparents survived the depression fought in world war two thank god for them seniors vote they vote all the time like everywhere and you know what happens politicians spend an unusual amount of money courting seniors because they vote and you know what when a senior who's a four by four voter and you can tell that you can't tell who people we have a secret ballot so i can't tell if i'm a congressman who you voted for but i know you voted and i know your party registration so if a senior john smith calls congressman joey bagadonis they look them up right away folks this trust me this happens any staffer will tell you this wow this is a senior who's a registered republican who's voted in the last four primaries and last four general elections a four by four trust me when i tell you you're getting instant results from your congressman seniors vote so if seniors who a high percent propensity voters vote and donald trump is he sucks he's doing everything wrong this is terrible he's being abandoned podcast to stand said it's true then how come donald trump is performing historically better than any other president at this point amongst the same said group of people seniors receipts incoming i'll answer your question mr berman and that is because president trump is more than holding his own amongst a very large porcelain electorate a very reliable voting block and that is senior citizens take a look here okay trump's approval rating age 65 plus in march of 2025 46 look at where it is now it's basically the same seniors have not moved he's at 44 percent now and the key nugget here is for all this talk about young people in the electorate such as myself or at least i like to include myself in that block it turns out that older voters senior citizens vote in far larger numbers so republicans look at this number and they say hey you know what we can actually potentially do some real damage or at least hold our own in the midterms because president trump is holding his own with this very important voting block that it's got to be cnn they've turned pro trump harry antons clearly lying because cnn's now the pro trump the right right the podcast to san tell us other they don't laugh at they did right they told us it's over everybody's abandoning donald trump except you have no actual data to back that didn't we put up that poll yesterday from quinnopiac quinnopiac no pro trump polling outlet trump's approval rating amongst republicans 88 percent 88 percent i thought it was down to like 10 i thought that's what you told us put up the wall street journal headline again here's lucky trump strikes again he's just lucky with the seniors he's just lucky on the ppi numbers the producers uh price index inflation coming down there he's just lucky on the streets of moose again oh look oil prices fall after iran says the streets open the dow is now up looking at the fox screen now a thousand points it's not down at no it's up at the i i thought everything was collapsing we're closing in again on dow 50 000 man this guy's lucky josh he's lucky josh just walked out josh how lucky is he way too lucky there it is thank you justin quinnopiac republicans only president trump approval 88 percent lucky trump with sound effects strikes again i saw our good friend maga kitty on twitter put that out again folks can we make that a thing make sure you put the air quotes on it on twitter every time a good story breaks lucky trump strikes again can we do that can we make that a thing just keepers just to make a fool out of these idiots this is the luckiest guy i've ever seen even if that was true it is not again give me the lucky winner rather than the unlucky loser who the hell wants to hang around the unlucky loser who is the who's the guy in the bronx tail is it mush the guy who's unlucky and every time remember they bet on the horse and the race isn't even over and they find out that that guy's his name mush tell me in the chat and they're like go number three whatever and if he's like oh shit they throw the thing away because they know mush but this is like the swamp they're the mush guy from a bronx tail donald trump is that deadpool number two mutant lady and that's her power it's like he's lucky all the time is that mush someone in the chat gotta help me we got 55 000 people we've been as it is mush right someone said who's that it said hold on i gotta give he's shame says we've been mush is that it okay good i need you guys out there this is the luckiest guy i've ever seen here's lucky trump striking again short clip here from cnbc again no big pro trump outlet correct cnbc here's cnbc where rick santelli's stunned they were expecting like a negative number about this manufacturing index good right for united states manufacturing producing a lot of stuff not only is number not negative it's really positive lucky trump strikes again it's like magic this guy check this out business outlook now that's the manufacturing side of the equation it comes in at minus i'm sorry i'm reading it comes in a 26.7 no minus there that's two and a half times what we expected we're looking for a number around 10 empire yesterday was quite strong as well 26.7 wow that would be the best level since january of 25 since jan of 25 really have to go back and i know that joe you've been paying very close attention and talking to many of the people on the hill about what's going on with manufacturing many believe you know we're not really making an impact it's a long a long runway to actually bring in on shore but what we have noticed is last jobs report we've seen a pickup of manufacturing jobs we've seen empire filling now i know in many ways this is anecdotal but you know that's the way many big issues start as anecdotal evidence so we want to pay close attention to that thank you chat elite super grunt says and thank you for the character in deadpool is domino that i forget i'm sorry donald trump is domino that's donald trump that's his superpower he's just lucky all the time it's amazing it's like an mutation donald trump has and then donald trump for you says wow the harder i work the luckier i get it's kind of like donald trump does the same thing the guy sleeps he's got some other like sleep mutation he sleeps like four hours a night i'm not recommending i i have to sleep seven or eight or else i fall apart jasmine knows that i come in like uh didn't sleep you can tell right away did not trump guy sleeps four hours a night he's in his office all day takes meetings all day he's in vegas today traveling around the world the guy's in his second term usually by now people are coasting let me tell you a story second term presidents i was the whip in uh t s the transportation section in the secret service second term bush and i'm not knocking anyone personally i'm just saying what they usually do is they start engaging in world tours at this point because they want a legacy this guy's still working he knows he's termed out he can just sit there and like do the whole presidential routine and what is he doing he's rebuilding the white house getting inflation under control rebuilding manufacturing shutting down the border safest america we've ever seen takes out the iranian mullis advancing the abraham accords uh trying to get peace in eight world wars he gets maduro out of venezuela takes control basically of our hemisphere through the venezuelan also this guy all he's got to do is sit down and like let his people do it and he's still doing it everybody's still complaining he's domino he's lucky he's lucky and then the black pillars and the doomer the doomers from pod castistan the black pillars and the doomers when he's not lucky when he's not domino he's just a puppet he's definitely a puppet donald now i'm gonna tell you like the lucky line is dumb enough claiming donald trump is anybody's puppet you you're a hand job like you are just really stupid you're like odd job from james bond you're like hand job you're the you're like odd job but you're just dumber do you have any idea how dumb that sounds anyone who's even met donald trump for five minutes no disrespect intended this cat is the alpha even when he comes in for the handshake he does the you know the dominant handshake he comes in from like the sky level to make sure you know like he's a jerk you don't have what's and he pulls you in he and he's a big guy too like donald trump's a big guy he like pulls you in and stares you right in the eye total like alpha male style you don't have to like it i'm just telling you if you ever meet him it's true so it kind of pisses me off a little bit when he's not domino and is not lucky that this guy's definitely a puppet who's been pumping out out there again pod castistan you got joe kent you know like falsely claiming like he was some kind of big decision maker at nctc he was not in the room with president trump folks i was the deputy director of the fbi i was in the room with president trump i think twice most of the time i was at the white house i was in there in what they call a dc like a deputies committee then they have a pc a principles committee that's how it works he was not in there for war planning with president trump joe kent's entitled to his opinion i thank him for his his service to the country i do took a lot of bravery but that doesn't mean that what joe kent is telling you is right a lot of people serve the country honorably it doesn't give you like a truth pass for him he was not in the room for this stuff meaning he doesn't know why is that important because secretary of war pete hegseth who i promise you is in the room for just about everything given the intersection and national defense pete is in there all the time secretary hegseth the secretary was asked a question yesterday about joe kent and being in the room and donald trump will pump in all this stuff i think pete's answer was pretty fantastic donald trump is nobody's puppet check this out director joe kent have attempted to claim that the trump administration's policy of zero enrichment for the iranians uh is not actually president trump's policy but was foisted upon him by the israelis um looking back uh doing a bit of a refresher for myself i saw that zero enrichment was the trump state department's policy in the first adman just after first tom as someone who unlike the individual you referenced is in the presence of the president nearly every day and has been inside every single key meeting that has happened surrounding the idea of operation epic fury not a single thing has been foisted upon the president united states president trump makes his own decisions about the interests of this country and defending our interests and then working with allies and partners in this case israel who's got a lot of will and a lot of capabilities which we're grateful for uh nothing gets foisted on president trump so those people who are not in those meetings who like to say things about that are just flat wrong they are flat wrong you want some more proof here's an account i i like osin defender on x so donald trump's a puppet for nithin jah you know dumb that sounds you know stupid you look right now here's a tweet that just went out the israeli government ministers were outraged by today's announcement of a ceasefire with lebanon which was revealed on shoe social by president trump who gave israel's consent to the ceasefire before it could be approved by the israeli security cabinet according to this news outlet i'm not telling you you got to like the decision i'm not talking about the decision to make uh to engage in a ceasefire with lebanon or not forget that for a second you can argue that all day i'm talking about the premise that kent and others i don't have any personal beef with joe i know joe got a decorated history with the united states in his military service which is honorable but that doesn't make him right if donald trump's a puppet of the israeli he's a really shitty puppet he's the only puppet that's ever sent the puppet strings in reverse you're just making it up donald trump is america first if the israelis or the pakistanis or there's a bumper parties involved in this want to align with the america first vision and help us he will take their help if they don't he's going to do it himself stop lying it really is folks it's sickening it's like i i i swear i've never seen a guy the israeli puppet masters and yet the israeli seem to be upset when donald trump doesn't do what he you know they don't want him to do because he's doing what's in the interest of what he perceives to be america whether you agree with it or not so then we move on of course from here's the evolution of of tds this this infection this trump derangement syndrome infection that is very real okay it may not be an actual protein code virus but i promise you it's real first he's lucky if he's not lucky he's a puppet then if he's not a puppet he's just freaking insane and crazy and we should get him out of office you doubt me here is this lunatic jayme raskin i want you to hat tip the great maze more on x maz e m o or e follow great follow fantastic especially if you're in this space best show prep out there he should charge maze more maze i'll start a business with you you're fantastic here this is jayme raskin crazy democrat congressman here's the evolution of tds first he's lucky then he's a puppet then he's crazy you can't just say he's good you can't say god forbid you say that here's raskin first in 2018 when biden's mental fitness came in there that's crazy here's raskin said we can't be arguing about that 25th amendment biden who seriously had some serious mental issues going on donald trump does not so he doesn't want to talk about that and then when it comes to donald trump he completely flips his position with no actual evidence of cognitive deficit that biden actually had check this out president is dangerous and unable to successfully meet the powers and duties of office i got the serious stuff to deal with and instead we're caught up every day in what looks like the country debating the mental health of the president so it's a very dangerous and unstable situation what is our institutional responsibility as the u.s congress and we've got that under the 25th amendment people see his age as um you know something that helps to explain some of his wisdom and some of his compassion um the kind of compassion you see not just within his family but outside of it that compassion for people in his family which is real and authentic becomes solidarity for everybody in the country who's struggling as well as for people around the world i mean it's taken us you know two and a half centuries to get to a president um who is imposing this kind of stress on our constitutional system but the closest thing we have to deal with a situation like this is section four of the 25th amendment thank you vince for confirming that was you by the way vince texted me so that is the evolution of tds if you don't catch the infection early at the trump is lucky stage it evolves to the puppet stage which then evolves to he's crazy notice he's never good ever despite mounds of evidence we've put out on the show just in the last few days producers price index jobs reports inflation numbers the straits it doesn't matter he's just lucky it's a puppet he's definitely crazy folks i titled the show today the dem sinister plot i probably should have i it was my idea i i don't like that i got it i don't like clickbait titles but it is a sinister plot maybe that was a too harsh of a word but this is really important you understand what they're doing right now i'm going

five minute tutorial on the democrats yes sinister plot to engage in open border demographic destiny to make sure they're never out of power for the next two generations folks the democrat they were we're going to focus on two specific things first the house of representatives you know your local congressman okay the senate races are obviously decided statewide however those are important to the senate races however congressional races are decided by congressional districts the democrats want open borders because they need people to flood back in the country so they can manipulate the census because people are evacuating blue states when people leave blue states and move to red states red states get more members of the house of representatives because it's based on population population grows you get more congressman when you get more congressman you also get more electoral college votes for the presidency the presidency i'm sorry for civics one-on-one but there are some liberals here the presidency is not a national election vote it is a series of state votes the popular vote does not determine who the president is okay it is decided by the electoral college you win a state you get their electoral college votes if the state has 25 electoral college votes that means they had 23 congressmen plus their two senators that's how you get the electoral college votes okay good get it got it good i know most of you know that now there are a couple things going on right now we got the save america act which would implement voter id which would cut off the cheating we know about that we got to push on that hard but also i want you to see this tweet by erik daughtry this is why the democrats are freaking out and this is why they cannot have the save act go through the save act go through and it eliminates cheating the democrats are in trouble if the redistricting in 2030 which is right around the corner goes the way we think it's going to go every 10 years there's a census count and there's a redistricting that goes on they're looking at erik daughtry tweet if you know it's massive democrats are staring down a devastating electoral college loss of 14 net seats in the 2030 census this will severely constrain their ability to win the house and presidency florida texas idaho utah are going to gain california new york illinois rhod island are going to lose if they don't count illegal aliens in this which i hope happens this is why the democrats are fighting so hard to get illegal aliens into the country and to count them it's going to be even worse the democrats will not be able to win the house of representatives and they will not be able to win the presidency by pure math they do not have enough electoral college votes and members in republican districts if people start flooding out of blue states and the numbers they are now and the democrats don't replace them with illegals so now you have the redistricting problem this is for the democrats they're going to lose seats and electoral college votes you also have the problem of the save america act which at some point i hope we get through i'm with mike lee dump this filibuster and get it through that had stopped the cheating which would make it even worse third if we can get illegals not counted which they shouldn't be in the next census the problem's even worse there is no there is no scenario by which this works out for the democrats then you have well you know i'll go a little bit out of order put up that osc tweet here's another problem they have there is a supreme court case pending now that is not going very well for the democrats on the voting rights act that they may lose because they're trying to the democrats want to racially gerrymandor districts if they lose that case which looks likely but i want to get out ahead of myself here's the current map 65 republican and in these districts they're talking about 65 republicans 24 democrats if they lose this case it'll be 77 republicans and 12 democrats that's what the map down in the southeast would look like the current map and the plausible scenario if they lose this case notice it's all red they are in a world of trouble why do i not give up because what are we giving up and we're living in the golden age of politics and in case you doubt me this clip is a couple years old but we keep it evergreen this is representative of vet clark from i think uh new york she is talking to democrat she's discussing this exact problem the democrats have that because people are evacuating blue states and blue districts like hers once it shrinks below a certain number her congressional seat disappears and it gets added to florida she's like hey man i'll take some of these illegals in my district this is a couple years old but i just want you this is when the democrats say the quiet part out loud why am i not giving up you're a democrat you should be the one giving up there's nothing looking good for you on this front check this out from brooklyn new york we have a diaspora that that can absorb a significant number of these migrants and i that you know when i hear uh colleagues talk about uh you know the the the doors of the end being closed um no room in the end i i'm saying you know i i need more people in my district but just for redistricting purposes and those members could could clearly fit here of course they could fit there they would save your congressional seat in your electoral college vote for the presidency do you now do you understand why democrats constantly lobby for open borders folks i promise you if you put into i'm not suggesting anyone should do this if you put into the law we will let everyone in everyone in illegally but they have to vote republican the democrats would be for closing the border tomorrow that's ridiculous however you know it's true this has nothing to do with anything other than electoral power they don't care about immigrants if you're an immigrant they don't give a damn about you they don't care you are nothing but a tool for them listen we've got serious problems ahead all right this is time for serious people you've got the drone issue we we're still trying to figure out in warfare you've got the quantum computing ai developments you've got you know super sophisticated ai driven malware you've got flaws in our industrial control systems where foreign actors in a cyber attack could shut down our grid if we don't act and act quickly you've got space weapons satellite weapons hypersonic missiles we have real problems to deal with this is no time for clowns and jokers and goons and freaking doomers the ai threat really worries me it worries me because we don't understand it i saw this clip on konstantine kissenshow who's a guy justin what's his name roman yumpolsky i want you to pay very close attention to this clip about ai here is the here's the problem in analyzing ai's we don't know how it does what it does and how it's going to evolve if it ever is to develop into a superintelligence or agi i told you a story one time about it imagining a superintelligence is impossible because you can't imagine it it's like when uh that when i was living in my old house you know my dog lucy i'm more intelligent than lucy and so the dumbest human being on planet earth is light years ahead of lucy the dog lucy go out in the yard every day one day a bird died in the yard and i threw the bird out you know threw in a garbage it was dead so lucy who'd been running around in the yard forever but she's a dog she has no advanced reasoning powers of course she runs right to the corner to smell where the dead bird went i freak out because i don't want that all over her nose dead bird blood all i'm like lucy and lucy looks up to me so scared i love this guy that big dog named dan she probably thinks i'm a big dog why is he yelling at me i've been in the spot a thousand times she doesn't know she doesn't know you can't explain to lucy a bird died there's probably germs there i don't want you to get sick she doesn't know the problem is us developing some agi superintelligence you have no idea what it's going to do that is just elegantly explained in this clip here this is what worries me about ai and why we need serious people in charge from this constantine kitchens show this guy explains it really well check this out how will ai destroy humanity that's a great question and what you're doing is you're asking me how i would destroy humanity and i have many good ideas it's not what a superintelligence system would do it's capable of coming up with new weapons new physics new poisons uh example i frequently use is squirrels versus humans it's a big cognitive gap squirrels have no concept of how we can kill them all they don't know about guns they don't know about traps it's outside of their world model likewise they cannot tell you how superintelligence would specifically go about it but there are many game theory reasons for why it's a good idea not to have competing species not to have humans create another superintelligence maybe it just wants to do something with this environment and doesn't care about us but i guess the question would be in terms of your certainty why you believe that ai if it becomes artificial general intelligence why it would hurt human beings what would be the way that you think that would happen so what i kind of started saying it's not because it hates you because it wants to do something else and it doesn't care about you so maybe it wants to cool down the whole planet to improve how efficient compute is just it's more capable of doing computation in a colder environment so if it freezes the whole planet we die does it care about it no it doesn't matter maybe it wants to convert this planet into a fuel fly to another galaxy i'm giving kind of hypotheticals which are not grounded anything but the point is it just doesn't have any built-in concern about your safety your well-being yes we're asking all the wrong questions about ai like why would it hate us it doesn't have the capacity to hate or love it's not a human being with god given emotions it only has the power to what engage in what it thinks is reason it's just folks we don't have time to be dicking around man with a clown show i'd rather have the lucky guy in charge who wins and gets it and takes advice from smart people given the quantum issue hypersonic space weapons and all of this stuff rather than a bunch of dipshits who are unlucky and lose all the time this stuff is happening now it's not five years away it's not 10 years away it is the now the right now you know one of the things about this show i always wanted to make a little bit different than others is folks the essence of conservatism and i consider myself a conservative kind of a conservatarian but conservative first is the education component we've got an election coming up and the whole idea about conservative conservatism is that we conserve really timeless good ideas the problem is we've lost the education system so many people believe so many stupid things because they've been taught it by educators that it's like hard to it's hard to suck them out of the intellectual doldrums when i was running for office uh i think it was my senate race in mariland i remember being out in a school in western mariland the dad was a campaign volunteer and his daughter went to the school and the school was like hey you want to come in and i was like okay so i'm in this history class and i'm looking at the back and they have these poster boards out and on the poster boards is a whole bunch of laudatory like how f dr saved us from the great depression how the government came in and saved us from the great depression and i couldn't believe it like i'm reading this like these are impressionable kids who this is like posted on the back of literally like they're going to read this every day and think this is true why wouldn't they the teacher told them that's not what happened it's like retelling the story of the civil rights movement making the democrats who were the goats like the bar goats not the greatest of all time the heroes they were the bad guys i'm not blaming democrats now for but that's just a fact tell people the truth the great depression was was exacerbated by government intervention if the government just would have left it alone we would have been there wouldn't have been it would have been the depression or the recession it's called the great depression because the government tried to fix it don't let your kids believe otherwise it is an anchor theory of modern progressivism that f dr was some superhero here check out this minute clip by tomasol's that tomasol quotes count on actually some of this stuff is really great check this out there's this narrative out there that the reason we had massive unemployment in the 30s was because the market failed the stock market crashed and you had all this tremendous unemployment now it so happens that the stock for the 12 months following the stock market crash we never hit double digits in unemployment unemployment peaked at 9 2 months after the stock market crash and started going down so the unemployment rate was down to 6.3 percent when the federal government figured it had to intervene and that's when the downward movement reversed and we never saw 6.3 percent again for the next decade so i mean if you if you follow the actual month by month employment numbers it's just clear as crystal that the disaster came after federal intervention i just get tired of of of malevolent bullshit history being shoved down our kids' throats so they believe government is going to come and save you one day and they're like the benevolent puppet master cut the strings man do your own homework timeless wisdom from tomasol that's at daily soul on x check it out some of those are just fantastic this facts and data even matter so um folks we uh paul and i are going through something right that's no big deal it's i don't want to be like i'm okay i'm not like dying or anything it's not a health thing but um you know paul and i have been going through a lot and uh we had to kind of a rough day yesterday uh really rough day so um i if i have to take some time next week um i will have a guest toast for you i'm not sure about that yet i don't know i'm still waiting to hear some things i will put it out on my x or my true social account if i have to but i will have a guest toast if i have to take a day or two i don't know i'm unfortunately um this was not expected uh however you know i saw this um hug your love ones you know like hug them like really hug them hug them and tell them why you're hugging them you know like don't just hug them and give me a hug like tell them why you know i'm not writing a parent thing book on that's not a 12 step program i mean i'm as flawed a human being as anyone else but i try to give my daughter two hugs every day before i go to bed and i'm before she leaves her school i actually missed her today because they were running late so what i do i call my wife in the car and she put her on speaker in the car and i made sure you know they need to hear that it's not so much even for you it's just for them they really need to hear that hug them like really hug them and make sure they know why and sometimes i make the mistake i say to my daughter you know love you that's a mistake say i love you i mean don't abbreviate it i love you unconditionally i love you so i i saw this piece in the wall street journal wall street journal yeah no it was important it's relevant to this yesterday i had a guest on my show a long time ago who wrote a book i'd not i've no financial interest in this book folks at all it's uh the author's a guy by the name of Hugh Ross and he wrote a book he's an astrophysicist i had him as a guest on my show one time and the book is called uh why the universe is the way it is and if you don't believe in god that's certainly your god given right ironically especially in a free country like ours but i suggest you read the book what the heck does astrophysics have to do with god folks our universe is so unbelievably is so unbelievably elegantly tuned that there is just no way it wasn't designed by an intelligent designer far more intelligent than oh there's the book i can't recommend this book enough it's an easy read you don't have to be a physicist you'll find out if gravity was off by just a smidge the whole place would collapse if gravity was not strong enough the whole universe would just keep expanding at a rate that would make it uninhabitable if we weren't in this exact spot earth that is in the universe we wouldn't be able to see the entirety of what we're able to see it's almost like god gave us this spot so we could see the majesty of what he created well the wall street journal had a piece about this yesterday apparently there's a movie coming out i was unaware of this movie but i read this in the op-ed section like i do every night there's some movie coming out called the story of everything and it's about god and creation and they note that the movie turns to the discovery in recent decades of what they call fine tuning the universe possesses a long list of properties each of which each of which must be just so if gravity were infinitesimally strong or all matter would have collapsed back in on itself but if gravity were infinitesimally weaker stars and galaxies would have never been formed to support life earth itself must just lie the right distance from the sun project just the right magnetic field project just the right gravity to hold in a place and hold in place an atmosphere of just the right density and so on and so on i don't believe in luck god's not domino i promise read the book read the article it's by peter robinson it's in yesterday's op-ed column i haven't seen this movie so i can vouch for it or not but i assume it's about the same thing it's not luck it's not luck so again you know grab your loved ones grab your tell them i love you i think about them and just remember this too i saw this yesterday too that when you you know you're down and out and i forget politics for a minute but just life in general i'm not your preacher but i've been through a lot you know that cancer thing scared the hell out of me you don't want to die and i think that's fairly obvious but you don't i mean you don't think nobody goes through life thinking like i don't want to die until you sense like an expiration date then all of a sudden you really don't want to die i mean who wakes up in a way i don't want to die to i mean nobody thinks like that until you're told like you have a disease that could kill you and then you're like man i really don't want to die the scary thing so i saw this video yesterday it was just not by chance i think someone made sure i saw this video and it was uh this monk talking about how when you think everything is terrible in your life you know and you think you have a thousand problems when your life is flashing before you whether it's a crime a disease you don't have a thousand problems you have one that's staying alive i don't focus you real quick why you listen to this check this out you mean any sports like any sport so sport is already good ultimately meaning take care of the body because you know there is a nice saying um as long as your body is healthy you have thousands of problems yeah but in the moment your body gets sick you have one problem that's really true yeah that yeah that's true okay so this is that's why i mean first of all before like tackling everything so how to build up your life and how to whatever do make sure your body stays healthy if the body is not healthy you don't need to worry about anything else so respect take care and love your body nourish your body nourish yourself in such a way that you understand it's something right now very very precious to have okay this is number one i cannot emphasize that to you enough that's why i tell you like grab them tell them you love them love yourself i mean that i mean it's some weird kind of way like take care of yourself too because we all have an expiration date but when you know it you get pretty focused pretty fast just think about that i really appreciate it folks you all are the uh without a doubt the best audience in this business you guys have been with me through thick and
