Uh-oh, a popular looks maxing influencer has been hospitalized. I'll have to look into what ridiculous, moronic looks maxing thing, put them in the hospital. Stay tuned for that. Let Darwin do his job. No kidding, don't get in Darwin's way. Speaking of thinning the herd, it's clinging to life apparently, Joe Biden was for some reason invited to speak before Syracuse Law's graduation or something. Here he is. I want to turn around to one guy and say, Barack, what are you doing? Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here. I feel like he should be standing right, and I should be standing left. Hey, did you say this was a good Barack? Anyway, as I say, you've done good. Oh, well, you know, I tried. Yeah, apparently it looks a little like Barack Obama. Have you seen the video? No, I have not. Oh, yeah, he got to watch the video. So Biden is up there looking twice as old as he looked the last time you saw him. So first of all, I thought he could have, with a couple of things working out differently here and there, be a couple of months into his second term. And I mean, and he is a ghost of a human being. Anyway, he's at Syracuse Law. That's where he graduated top of his class. Remember that story? Top of his class at Syracuse Law. It turns out to be a lie. But anyway, that's who you invite to be after graduation for Syracuse Law. I mean, I realize he's quite the alumni as a president, but any who, he's there and he sees it because they all look alike to him. He sees a black guy. He looks like Barack Obama. Obama. He says, come here. And he gestures to him with his hand, with like the Comeer gesture. Yeah. Like just keeps doing it. I know, come here. Come here. No, no, no. And the guy is clearly like, what? I'm not, no, I'm not. You're going to tell me I look like Barack. No, I'm, and then finally he gives in and walks up there and is obviously really uncomfortable with it. Doesn't this guy look like Barack Obama? Everybody was like, kind of a little bit. I mean, he's a black man. He's a black dude. That's about it. Wow. Yes, Katie. No, I saw the video. I thought he kind of did. He also kind of sounded like him. But that's a weird thing to do. Yeah. All right. Well, well, Jack says he didn't look very good, but he sounded terrific. I got married in Scandinavia after my first year in law school with a huge reception thrown by the Hunter family. And countless Bidens made the trip up from Delaware and Scranton to celebrate us on that day, just like they have today. All right. Play the first part again. You know, I got married in Scandinavia after my first year in law school. All right. What? You got married in Scandinavia after a first year in law school. You got to stop scanning ass when you get married, Joe. All right. That's enough of that foolishness. We need to move on. I don't know if it is enough of that foolishness. The fact that the Democratic Party was going to run that guy and pretended he was fine. Now, he's got a lisp. What? You got something against someone with a lisp? You know, I got married in Scandinavia after my first year in law school. He had a stutter as a child. There's a black guy. Looks kind of like Brock. Come here. Come here, black guy. You look like Obama. Obama. All right. You also look like Semidevis Jr. Reggie Jackson. You made it right. You made it right, mother. It's right in a long time. I got married in Scandinavia after I got married. Oh, geez. Can you imagine? Oh, geez. Oh, that would have been great for talk radio if he had a second term, but bad for the world. Oh, nightmarish for the world. Pleaser of Kamala had gotten elected. Yikes, cripes. Speaking of our public servants in Washington, DC, I yield the rest of my time to the Hampton man from Los Angeles, Bill Maludgeon, clip 80, please, Michael. Embattled California congressman Eric Swalwell officially submitting his resignation from Congress as he faces mounting allegations of sexual misconduct. He raped me, and he choked me. Former model Lana Drews becoming Swalwell's fifth accuser, alleging today in a press conference that he drugged and sexually assaulted her in a West Hollywood hotel in 2018. He said he needed to get paperwork from his hotel room. When I arrived at his hotel room, I was already incapacitated, and I couldn't move my arms or my body. Yeah, she made it infinitely clear that she believed he drugged her, made the excuse to come up with the room. I got her to grab some paperwork, and he raped her while she was incapacitated, one of several to make a similar claim. That's been established. Let's talk about his good buddy, Arizona. I think he's a senator. Yeah, Ruben Gallego, Democrat in the news. He was the best buddies with Swalwell. Longtime Capitol Hill roommate, longtime wingman. They vacationed together many, many times, and the poor son of a gun was caught completely, completely by surprise. Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego, one of Swalwell's closest friends, told reporters today that Swalwell had everyone fooled. This man led a double life. I was manipulated. I was lied to, and everyone else was too. One more. Here's a reporter with Gallego. Senator, you've gone on trips, on vacations, officially, unofficially. You've gone out, presumably, with the congressmen. You've never even witnessed him, I don't know, engaging in an affair? No. How do you explain some of the photos online? I know you addressed one, but there is another one that she's supposed to be without shirts. How do you address some of those compromising photos? We were on a beach. I think you were on the desert, and on some camels. It was a beach, and a camel. We're going to get into the beach camel. We're going to get into the desert of beach as a discussion. It's a pretty good one. I could spend a whole hour on that. It's the desert of beach. That part was stupid. Both of you without shirts. That was idiotic. That is dumb. The idea that somebody who's roommates with a guy and went out with him all the time on vacation with him is completely unaware that he gets drunk and hits on chicks is hilarious. Arizona, this is from the Washington Free Beacon. Senator Ruben Gallego is in the news. Here's what you need to know. The aspiring 2028 presidential candidate is either deaf, dumb, blind, or a degenerate liar. There's really no other possible explanation for his supporting role in the saga of Eric Swalwell. Gallego is Swalwell's capital of a roommate long time wingman. What did Gallego know and when did he know it? Gallego, the chairman of Swalwell's short live 2020 presidential campaign. The backer of his gubernatorial bid responded to news of impending an explosive allegations against his best friend with a statement that Swalwell was being victimized because he's just that good. Quote, when you're in first place is when they target you. Eric is a fighter and he will win the governor's race. That was just one week ago. Now he says he never knew his roommate. It was a perv and rapey and the rest of it. He said his friendship with Swalwell clouded his judgment. Well, he certainly might not have known that his buddy slips things in women's drinks. But the idea that he had no idea that he goes on gets drunken hits on chicks is come on. When Gallego filed for divorce in 2016, and let's break that down a little bit. He filed for divorce from his wife Kate Gallego than a Phoenix city council woman. She was nine months pregnant and had no idea. She was likely to give birth any day. She had not been served with divorce papers. Her attorney entered an appearance in the case. Oh my God, that's horrible. Yeah, and getting back to that's the particulars in the divorce. He managed to seal even the existence of the case on the docket, citing the fact that he was a high profile public official. Free beacon wages, successful battle non-sealers records which revealed that Gallego blindsided his pregnant wife who's likely to give birth any day. When he served her with divorce papers, then demanded she pay his legal bills. He remarried a lobbyist 14 years his junior in short order announcing their engagement with great fanfare, even though they're actually already married. Okay, so he was living the Swalwell lifestyle. Yeah, clearly. But didn't know Swalwell was living the Swalwell lifestyle. Even though they hung out all the time. Right. Why do we always have to take everything too far? I wish they would, I think it would be better for everybody if we would stick with the crimes. I've heard several times about the list of victims and then they throw in victims that don't sound much like victims to me. You're not making the case better, you're making it worse. So, drugging and raping women? Horrible crime. Horrible. Like I think I'd be pro-death penalty for that. That is really, really bad. Kissing someone without asking consent first is ridiculous to call a crime and lump it in with that other one. But I've heard it several times including yesterday. And then I also would like to point out, I don't know if we have the clip of this, we don't need it, but there's a one woman, I don't know if she's an intern or whatever she was, talking about how she and Swalwell exchanged emails and stuff like that. And then at some point he asked her to come to his hotel room and she thought that's weird and said no. And I thought, why is there not more emphasis on the idea of don't go to the hotel room? Right. That woman made the smart choice of not going to a guy's hotel room. Don't do that. Now, the woman that did do it, he's still a rapist, you're still a victim, 100%. But don't go to a guy's hotel room unless you want to have sex with him. Right. Speaking of the idiotic narratives, the idea that reminding young women and girls especially that these situations will put you at risk of being victimized is not to blame the woman. It's to point out that was a mistake. That's not blaming the victim for being raped. The rapist is to blame for being whipped and for, you know, victimizing her. But there's absolutely, absolutely value in explaining, especially the young girls and young women, that's a dangerous thing to do. Don't do it. You're really good long time friends. I mean, really good long time friends. I can't imagine a circumstance where I would ever invite a woman to my hotel room unless it was for those reasons. Right. And I want to get to this real quick. How Eric Swalwell rose to the top of Democratic politics as rumors followed him. This is from the Washington Post that mentions that Nancy Pelosi, Ruben Gallego say they knew nothing about the misconduct. Gallego saying the congressman led a double life. It leads with this. When Cheyenne Hunt arrived on Capitol Hill as a staffer in 2020, several other young women working there privately warned her. Stay away from representative Eric Swalwell. He was creepy, the other woman told her, especially over social media. Six years later. You should throw in the fact that the guy that invited you up to the hotel room reeks of the kind of guy that you wouldn't want to go to his home. It's not like it's surprising that he'd be that kind of guy. Six years later, Hunt is one of several women who have leveraged their large followings online to go after Swalwell, enlisting women to come forward with their stories, connecting them with reporters at various outlets. Late last week, allegations including sexual assault, where you'd know all those details published by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle. Swalwell's attorneys, of course, deny each and every allegation of sexual misconduct and assault. The stunning fall has Hunt's, Hunt, Ms. Hunt, and others asking how someone who was dogged by persistent rumors of inappropriate behavior toward women, similar to what she'd heard six years ago, could have risen so high and so fast in a party that says it supports women's rights. We do need to take a look inward as a party because it was an open secret, said Ms. Hunt, who leads a Gen Z Democratic group. Not necessarily that he was assaulting people, but that he was a creep. That was well known. And he was a loud voice doing the Me Too movement. He was one of the absolute believe all women guys. Wow. At the very, very least, he was a serial harasser. They're complete hypocrites, please. More coming up, Steyer. We've been duped, hoodwinked, conned for 50 years.

It's also got raw honey, roasted peanuts, cocoa, salt, and monk fruit extract. This stuff kind of looks like a joke with dry-up. It feels really crispy and it kind of looks like dried-up ground beef. I think it's actually really good. Like ground beef cereal just doesn't sound that good. But you taste the raw cocoa, the honey, the peanut butter. Would I eat this every day? No. But does it taste a lot better than I thought? 100%. That's a guy explaining beef cereal? That's correct. Meaty's beef cereal. Sold out. I'd probably buy and try it. Meaty's beef cereal. Okay. A couple other things on Swalwell. I want to mention real quick. Katie, could you confirm this? I'm pretty sure I heard this morning on NPR that LASVU, Special Victims Unit, has opened an investigation into the Swalwell claims. So he's going to get a full-on, did he commit, you know, did he drug and rape a woman? One situation going. Which if he's guilty, he'll go to jail, he'll lose his law license, he will never have a cable job, and he is never going to make another dollar. He is in serious trouble. And his wife's probably going to leave him. And again, horrible for the kids. You didn't cheat on, just cheat on your wife. You cheated on your kids too. Which is just absolutely horrible. Do you have more Swalwell stuff? Kind of. Okay, because I have one more quick note I want to throw in. Remember, his claim to fame was being a constant anti-Trump handsome cable TV activist starting at the beginning. And he was the house version of Schiff in the Russian collusion hoax. And then they mentioned in the Washington Post that he fired all of his legislative assistants and hired only political fundraisers and became about elections and power and stopped legislating like so many of them do. In case you haven't heard this already from us, the missing piece of this thing is he was competing with others to be governor in California and that's why they knifed him. Other Democrats knifed him. They knew this about him. They had this on him forever. They just, they needed to get him out of the race. That's why this came out. Not to help women. Not because they were worried about the victims or that there would be more victims. They needed to knife him. They needed to knife him. So Katie Porter, who's running for governor and thinks she might win now, put out a statement, the allegations against Congressman Swalwell are horrifying, blah, blah, blah. Twitter had one of those, you know, they put in details at the bottom, readers note or whatever. Community notes. Community note. Best community note ever about Katie Porter. Katie Porter is an alleged domestic abuser who poured scalding potatoes on her ex-husband's head. She's also been seen on camera verbally berating staff for minor slights and has been described as abusive herself. Get out of my f***ing shop. Now that's a good community note. She poured. Community notes for the win. She poured boiling potatoes on her husband's head. That's good. That's good stuff right there. I wonder why Congress has such a low approval rating. Oh, we've stopped some oil tankers trying to get through the blockade. Stay tuned for that. Another stuff coming up. Armstrong and Getty. People don't listen to radio ads.

Jacob Goldstein, President of the United States, called for a ceasefire between the United States and Iran and has said he does not fear the Trump administration. The President this week has slammed the Holy Father for being critical of the war, calling him weak on crime. As we pointed out yesterday, the Vatican had nothing to say after Iran slaughtered 30-some-thousand protesters in the street. Nothing. And I don't like that comment from the Pope. I'm starting to hate on this Pope. Oh no, the first American Pope. I don't like him saying I don't fear the Trump administration. That sounds like you're a little too far down the road of resistance for my taste. You're not just commenting on how things fit in with your Bible teachings. I'm not afraid of the Trump administration. Oh, good for you. Why don't you get a show on MSNBC? Oh, Pope Crazy. Wow, anti-papest talk here. Rich Lowry with a good piece in the post, California and New York Post today about how the Pope is wrong about his Bible verses, took taking him on like verse for verse on the stuff. J.D. Vance just did an interview. We were talking yesterday about how Trump's probably an atheist or agnostic. J.D. Vance is a serious Catholic. He converted late in life and he's serious about it. But he is explaining how, based on what the Pope said over the last couple of days, we should not be talking about the Pope. He shouldn't have defeated the Nazis. Right. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to get into the theology of it, but turn the other cheek unless your people are going to get slaughtered in the streets by an evil malevolent dictator or regime that's going to slaughter even more people if you let them slaughter your people. How is that serving the Lord? Sorry, it's not the way I see it. But then you blew my mind earlier in the show about how much more popular the Pope is than Trump. I will throw the caveat in well after currently Pope Leo does Chicago Pope dare is to got a 34% net positive rating among registered voters 34% net positive Trump's 12% percent net negative. So that would be a 46% gap between the two fellows. Here's the caveat. That's before I'm guessing that poll was taken a couple of days ago before a couple of days ago. Yeah, or yeah, or substantial. Oh, it's March. Yeah. So yeah, he's shooting off his mouth. Coming off as a tough guy. He'll be below 50% guaranteed next poll. Yeah, I think that's changing rapidly. Yeah, they do make the point, though, that this guy is a systematic and methodical operator behind the scenes as opposed to the old commie saint, not St. Francis, Pope Francis, who was known for firing off provocative sound bites, but sometimes alienated groups within the church, including American bishops. They bring an insult. You bring a big white hat. That's the Chicago way. Beautiful. Shut up, Pope. That's my that's my advice. That whole I'm not afraid of the Trump administration was too much. Yeah, I know. And I'm plenty familiar with the First Amendment, but it is absolutely that perfect example of what we've talked about many times. The pacifist I'm against war. The only reason you can speak those words aloud is because rough men stand ready to do violence on your behalf to paraphrase Orwell, who apparently didn't exactly say that. But come on. Or to paraphrase. How can you not get that? Or to paraphrase Jack Nicholson, you want me on that wall. Right. Breaking news thing. This is stuff that happened over the last 24 hours, 48 hours, but we just now know it. The U.S. has stopped nine oil tankers that attempted to break Iranian port block the blockade over the first two days. They turn around and went back. They didn't get to dock and do their thing. So that's interesting. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the blockade is on. And apparently that's led to ships trying to hide who they are. What do they call it? I've got this around here somewhere. Spoofing or masking or the old Shuck and Drive or something. But there's a lot of like. The old who that boat belonged to. That's what I call it. Oh, yeah. I mean, they're like answering the radio Iran. What's the matter? You were Italian. And then so there's that's what I call it. Are you kidding? I'm Canadian. The whole cruise Canadian. Hey, how about that hockey? Love that hockey. Yes, we're here to get an entire tanker full of hockey pucks that we transport back to Montreal. So. Yeah, it was an oil tanker. Now it's a hockey puck tanker. Please don't board us. Speaking of hockey pucks, I saw a crazy national weather, which I usually ignore. But in the Midwest, where I'm from, they had hail the size of hockey pucks, they said. Holy cow. We want to get hit on the head with that. No, indeed. I've been beaten down by hail. It's an experience you won't soon forget. No, it is something if you have never been in it. Different story, also breaking news. So. And the race for California governor, Mark Halperin, who's pretty good at analyzing politics says Tom Steyer is going to be the next governor of California. I watched all his reasoning yesterday and the maneuvering behind the scenes and who cancels who out and blah, blah, blah, blah. So he thinks Tom Steyer, who is a billionaire whack job, is going to be the next governor of California. Well, he just put out his policy proposal on his website. Bill Mollusion, the immigration expert from Fox. It's radically left of Gavin Newsom. It includes abolishing ICE. Abolishing ICE is going to be his platform to run for governor. Put ICE agents in jail and treat them like the mob. Bring those kidnapped and detained by ICE back home. So go back to Mexico and Venezuela or whatever and get people and bring them back to California. That's going to be your policy. Not to mention Africa, Iran, wherever else they're from. Give the California Attorney General power to imprison ICE agents and their leadership. You're going to have the state of California imprisoning federal agents. That's a good plan. That won't be a constitutional problem at all. Taxpayer funded legal representation and support for legal aliens. So if an illegal gets caught and they want to challenge it, we the taxpayers will pay their legal bill to challenge it. I think that's just fantastic. And ignore a score disruling that allows ICE to utilize race, language, job and location to contribute to reasonable suspicion. So you wouldn't want to do that. You wouldn't want to go to, for instance, a construction site where everybody's speaking Spanish and think there might be more illegals there than over there. I don't even think you need to get to the second half of the sentence. He proposes to ignore the Supreme Court is all you need to know. And that's just a half of how radically leftist he is. I was told by Bruce Springsteen two nights ago that this is an illegal Supreme Court that answers to one man. Actually, some moron. I kind of heard that in the background because I was in the lobby getting a giant pretzel. Do you get the giant moron? It is demonstrably untrue what you said. Call me. I would be delighted to explain it. You can statistically prove it's untrue. Yeah. When you get a giant pretzel, do you get salted or unsalted? Gotta get salted. My son who loves salt gets the unsalted because I got the salted. It's too much. Oh, you got to knock some of the salt off. So you're saying it's too much. Katie, you're saying it's too salty. I get it without salt. Even like in salt, those big giant chunks pretty soon it eats your gums away. It's like a boulder of salt on there. Yeah, Joe's right. Just got to customize it. Who's that with you? Take control of your own future, y'all or sheep. I grasp the pretzel of life in my hand and as the salt comes at me, I knock it off. I usually knock off like 90% of the salt, but you're right. You can have a stroke right there eating it. It's so salty. I get the salt from the mustard. I dip it in. So you're saying you'll determine how much salt is on a pretzel, not the man. Right. I'm the captain of my own pretzel shaped ship. God, that stuff was expensive. My son got a bottle of water. I can't believe I fell for that. I almost always tell my kids, drink out of the drinking fountain. There's one right there. I eat very rarely by the bottled water and stuff like this. It was $9 for a regular little bottle of water. I can't believe I did that. There's a drinking fountain right there. Wow. $9. There's a drinking fountain with pretzels coming out. I've never gone over there and gotten a pretzel. You're still right about the mustard though, Katie. That's the way to go with those giant pretzels. Oh yeah. And some bars now. They have pretzels the size of, I don't know, like a 20 pound dog. Oh yeah. They come on a hanger. This one was the size of my face and I got a big head. And I was munching that through 10th Avenue freeze out. Munching that pretzel. Fantastic. Oh, that's a good time. We got a California is crumbling update. Is that what we do?

Perfect governor for California because California is crumbling. California is crumbling. Awesome. Thanks, metal guy. Shortest theme in the history of themes. It's concise. Handful of headlines for you. First of all, California Democrats are advancing what's being called the Stop Nick Shirley Act to criminalize investigative journalism. The Democrats aren't calling it that, but a number of Republicans and we are, they're trying to make investigating fraud illegal. So what's the problem with the Republicans? They are trying to scam their side. What's their argument? Here's the, you know what, I can get to their actual verbiage. This all comes in the wake of Nick Shirley and James O'Keefe did some stuff on covering the spectacular levels of fraud in the hospices. In the childcare. In the witness, Minnesota style fraud that we all follow. I can understand why they hate that, but I don't know what your argument would be from, for banning it. the unholy marriage of Rob Bonta and this woman who's she's an assembly woman named Bonta, Mia Bonta. Here's what she says quote AB 2624 strengthens protections for individuals working in immigrant service roles including nonprofit staff volunteers and legal service providers who may face risks such as doxing harassment or threats due to the nature of their work etc etc. You can't put out any video or maybe audio even of discovering fraud and abuse in government funded programs using underground footage and first-hand documentation because the people in those videos might be subject to doxing and harassment. They didn't feel that way about ICE agents. Right, right exactly. Now during the assembly committee here in Carl D'Amio who's a bit of a grandstander but he's right about a lot of stuff directly confronted the bill's author Mia Bonta over language that would allow individuals affiliated with certain organizations to demand the removal of video recordings even if taken in public, hello First Amendment, and impose costly financial penalties against anyone who publishes the videos online. Wow. And of course it would be used to block investigative reporting and intimidate journalists, watchdog groups and members of the public documenting actual wrongdoing and theft and fraud. This would put 60 minutes out of business if it were a law nationwide. That's what they've been doing forever. And they and every First Amendment loving organization in America ought to be on this story. Instead of fixing the fraud programs being uncovered Sacramento politicians are trying to shut down the people exposing them. It is obscene. I wonder how many people agree with that because they'd have the stupid point of view that only right wingers you know do this sort of thing. Give me 30 seconds to talk to them I could change their minds but they'll never hear from a conservative voice. So moving along Gavin Newsom said he had a moral duty to release his tax returns every year he served in office. He made that absolutely clear on the campaign trail. He hasn't released one since 2022. We could go into the details but that's the story. My wife makes a lot of money and that wouldn't look good. I shake down charities and corporations to give to my wife's fake charity plus our houses are bought by supporters with weird LLCs that overlap and so I would just look really bad. You're gonna find out that I'm really really rich and kind of hard to explain where it came from. My wife raked in a million and a half plus well it's a lot more than that since 2020 from her phony film production charity that combats intersectional gender stereotypes. My wife's a hot communist that wouldn't be in the tax returns. Moving along because there's a lot to go to. There's a bit to this but I think you can get it. The California Business and Industrial Alliance California of course 50th in the Union for business friendliness announced. Number one for Sunshine. That's a good point. Launched its private attorney's general lawsuit tracker the first of its kind public database for documenting every lawsuit settlement and attorney payout filed under PAGA in California. PAGA is the what does that stand for oh the private attorney's general act. It allows employees to file suit against their employer for any minor or accidental infraction of California's labor code. It privatizes the enforcement of the labor code and thousands of PAGA notices are filed every year in California over labor code violations as minor as typos on your pay stub. So they've been tracking this through the year how through the years why this exists and one of the things you need to know about California politics is that the legislature and the governor's office are owned by public employee unions and trial attorneys and here's the trial attorney's part. So the assembly passes this law saying you can file suit for any mistake your employer makes. In 2024 there were 1806 lawsuits 1.6 billion dollars in payouts 508 million dollars went to attorneys. The next year 740 million dollars went to attorneys. This year just through February it's 114 million two attorneys so it's looking like it's going to be another record year. And here there are companies with thousands of these lawsuits. I was talking to my family about this. I feel like this is an unknown thing. Maybe it's so obvious in California that it's you know more clear to us. So many things that happen are the design is just for people to get money. Lawyers or construction companies or whatever. The the original intent has got nothing to do with it. The intent was to spend money around and not enough people have caught on to that. Yeah the homeless industrial complex is the perfect example. You see a bunch of jump bums and junkies in the park and if you're a California politician or you know a progressive politician in general if you see anything that looks like a problem or a crisis you say okay how do we exploit this? What do we say? We say we're gonna we're gonna get these people drug counseling. We're gonna solve the problem. We're gonna clean up the parks. We need a bunch of funding. Then when it fails we say we need a bunch more funding. And never for a single second do they intend to actually accomplish their stated purpose. We could get into that more another time but two more real quick headlines. Another California fraud slush fund. New solar fee will raise electric bills. Again it's just another slush fund. And then this taxpayer return on investment. California is 48th I believe in the country. Taxpayer return on investment. And many many California cities are running huge budget deficits that will have to be bailed out. Wish we had more time.
