Summary

Dan Bongino discusses Trump's political dominance following Republican primary victories, particularly Bill Cassidy's third-place finish in Louisiana. The episode covers threats to American civil liberties from progressive policies, emerging security challenges from drones and vehicle attacks, and the necessity of AI development for national competitiveness.

Insights
  • The MAGA movement has become the dominant force within the Republican Party, with Trump endorsements proving to be the most powerful electoral tool in modern politics
  • Progressive governance in major U.S. cities is failing measurably on core promises like homelessness and affordability despite massive spending, yet Democrats avoid accountability
  • The U.S. must lead in AI development or face existential threats from adversaries; there is no viable middle ground between dominance and vulnerability
  • Vehicle and drone attacks represent evolving terrorism threats that cannot be stopped through traditional law enforcement tactics, requiring border security and intelligence operations
  • Rage bots and infiltrators are attempting to hijack the MAGA movement with fringe ideologies, but grassroots support remains overwhelmingly mainstream and positive
Trends
AI productivity growth is accelerating exponentially, automating high-skilled professional work at unprecedented ratesBlue city governance crisis deepening: homelessness up 70-80% despite billions in spending, creating political vulnerability for DemocratsVehicle-ramming and drone-based attacks becoming normalized terrorism tactics globally, requiring new security frameworksBiometric border security and intelligence gathering becoming critical national security tools under Trump administrationPolitical advertising innovation using AI-generated content enabling lower-cost, higher-impact campaign messagingCold plunge and biohacking movement gaining mainstream adoption as wellness and willpower-building practiceMultipolar world order rhetoric from progressive elites contrasting with Trump's unipolar America First positioningCivil liberties erosion in UK and Europe serving as cautionary model for American policy directionSecond Amendment litigation strategy shifting to use civil rights laws (1994 post-Rodney King legislation) for constitutional defenseScam operations impersonating public figures via email and WhatsApp becoming widespread threat

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. I haven't done a weekend update in a long time. I don't know what happened. I just, I wasn't doing a lot during the weekends. You know, getting back out of the past year and government, it was a lot going on. Had to get the show back, rocking and rolling again. So it wasn't a lot of time to do anything other than working a weekend. So I got to kind of chill a little bit this weekend. And I got a cool weekend up there with this story. This is so like something only I think I would do that happened this weekend. You're gonna, I don't even know like how we wound up in this situation, but we did, it's kind of funny. And just a quick warning for you too, in the beginning of the show, while we got most of you here, if you're watching on demand, please, if someone reaches out to you on email from like a hotmail address or Gmail or anything, telling you they're me or WhatsApp, telling you they're me, it's not me. Listen to me, it's not me. My former colleagues gave me what's called a DTW duty to warn call. There's some bad actors that are using my name to reach out to people and scam them out of money, try to get information from them, all kinds of, it's not me, it is not me. Do not respond. I can't say this enough. Some guy on Twitter responded to me, just one, I can't believe I got scammed that I did not reach out to you. I don't know, it's not me. I promise you, it is not me. Everybody cool? Do not respond to any solicitations from anyone claiming to be me because it's not me. I got a crazy weekend update. I'll get to you in a second. Big show day. Let's not become Europe, folks. Please, please let's not become Europe. Europe is decaying. The UK are decaying into a civil rights madhouse right now. Let's not become them. I got some video, it's gonna knock your socks off for some of the crap that went down this weekend. Hey listen, my buddy Miles of Breakhouse Nutrition just announced they're doing 25% off everything.

So quickly, this weekend, Paul and I, after I don't know, three, four months back now, we decided we were gonna take a little bit of a break this weekend. All right, so where do you think we went? Any guesses in the chat? Where we always go when we need a break? Where'd we go Justin? Morgan, yes, the Morgan Wallin concert, of course. This is, that was number nine for us. We love us, so Morgan Wallin, Thomas Red opened up, he crushed too. It was a pretty badass concert. And it was up at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. You know, we loved the Gators, had a dude at Chomp. We were down, I think Morgan wanted to do the Chomp. He's a Tennessee fan. But he walked out with Tim Tebow, place goes crazy, concerts a banger. Paula's got some crazy video. I hope she never discloses a me singing, which is really genuinely awful, but she thinks it's funny. So we're singing Chasing You, that's our favorite song and all. Bottom line is we get disconnected from our team. This team that was with us, right? On the way out. Why? Because there were like 70,000 people there. I can't find a team, cell phone's not working, the pin drop's not working, nothing's working. We're like sitting there, we're five, six miles away from the hotel. I'm like, hey man, I don't know, we may just have to walk, whatever, no big deal. This guy, nicest guy, he's like, hey Dan. By the way, people could not have been nicer. We must have taken like 500 selfies. People could not have been nicer. Showing us their MAGA hats, grabbing us, I mean, it was incredible. I had the best time ever. People were so nice. This guy's like, hey Dan, what are you doing? And I said, man, we're looking for our team. We can't seem to find him. He's like, why? I said, you're trying to get back to the hotel? He's like, he's got this big pickup. He goes, I'm just waiting for my wife and kid that went to the concert. He's like, I'll drive you back. I said, no way. He said, yes way. He's like, get in the back. I look at Paula. Paula's like, you sure? I'm like, I trust this guy. I don't know, I don't know. I just trust it. I get in the back of the truck, right? The guy calls his wife, he's like, you're never gonna believe it in the back of the truck. Dan Bongino's wife, she's like, what the hell are they doing there? It's like we're giving him a ride back to the hotel. I'm like, the wife jumps in. She's like, I can't believe it's the kids jump. The kids are like, who are you? Kids are like 10 years old. He looks up at the phone, he's, oh, the daughter. The daughter's like, hey, there's a boy and a girl. The daughter's like, oh, you're a radio guy or something. We're driving back to the hotel with car and traffic. We're in the car like a half an hour. The guy starts playing Morgan. We're all singing in the car. It was like the greatest half an hour ever. Bottom line is, I'm not gonna say his name, but thank you to the guy and the family. It was so nice to meet you. I gave him one of my coins. I told him we'd take care of him. So they were, I really appreciate it. It was the best half hour ever. Paul and I got back to the hotel. We were like, you know what? That was like the greatest thing. I'm almost glad we got disconnected from our team. So there is the first weekend update I've done for you ever. I don't spend a lot of time on my personal life because honestly, who cares? I just thought that was really funny. That was like, you wanna ride him? Like, hell yeah. It turns out he knew the neighborhood too. He's cutting through like bank parking lots, getting us around all the traffic in Gainesville. Awesome. AAA72, glad you and Paul had a good time. Self care is important. God bless, God bless you too. All right, now to the important stuff that happened. Folks, the MAGA movement is the GOP now. I titled today's show, Trump wins because Trump is one again. I don't know how many times we've gotta tell the people trying to hijack our movement. The Republican Party is the MAGA movement now. That's just the fact. What am I talking about? I really try to stay out of Republican on Republican stuff as often as I can except, you know, there are some doomers and gloomers out there who decide to come after us. And if you're gonna come after us, well, we're gonna kick you back even harder. Sorry, that's just the way we roll. We always have because we always win. After the Indiana primaries where President Trump and his team won after a bunch of Indiana Republicans who just refused to do Republican stuff and won, you would think a guy like Bill Cassidy, a US Senator from Louisiana who's consistently gone after Trump would have learned his lesson. Cassidy did not. Cassidy is, and listen, you don't gotta agree with President Trump on everything. I don't. We've had disputes about certain issues on my show. He's never written me off. It's not about that. It's about just being like a thorn in the side for the sake of being a thorn. So none of this stuff is principled. Bill Cassidy is a sitting US Senator, folks. Went down in flames in a primary this weekend, actually finished third, not second, third. So there's a runoff, runoff's top two. He's not even in the runoff. Now, why did Bill Cassidy go down in flames? Because again, there's a group of doomers and black pillars and do nothing bullshitters, trying to come into the Republican tent and hijack the movement to make us a more left-leaning identity politics party. We don't like the Jews. We don't like, it's all this crap. You're not our movement. Get out. Get out. Now, Cassidy was not one of those guys. This is an impeachment guy, another wing of the Republican party. I don't like Donald Trump's style, so we're gonna impeach him. Really? I thought that was for high crimes and misdemeanors, not personality crimes. Here's Cassidy back in 2021, February of 2021, on an interview with, I believe, ABC, talking about impeachment hoax too, why Donald Trump needed to be impeached. Well, only one person lost their office and it ain't Donald Trump, Bill. Check this out. People wanna trust. They want to trust their leaders. They want people to be held accountable. Now, we are holding, I'm attempting to hold President Trump accountable, and that is the trust I have from the people that elected me, and I am very confident that as time passes, people will move to that position. So you think you'll eventually represent a majority view in Louisiana? You know, number one, I think I may already represent a majority view. Do you think he can run an incredible campaign for president again? Will he remain a force in the Republican party? What does that mean for the Republican party? I think as force wanes, the Republican party is more than just one person. Ladies and gentlemen, of course the Republican party is more than just person, one person, of course, but when one person does things to move the Republican party into a winning position, advances the ball on crime, advances the ball on the border, advances the ball on the economy, advances the ball on tax cuts, advances the ball on shrinking government for the first time like ever, 300,000 federal employees now in a trimmed down, leaner, meaner government payroll. You got a doge in there finally. Oh, the cuts, they're not enough. They're a star, nobody's done anything. We finally have a guy in the White House, Maduro, Iran. We have a guy in the White House actually doing stuff instead of talking shit. We do trust that person, Bill, and it wasn't you. I don't like spending a lot of time on this stuff. I don't. However, I just, I can't understand how people are still falling for this up. Here's why I say this, folks. Yes, there are knuckleheads out there who are just faking being part of our movement to try to steal the thing for their own left wing causes because they are left wing causes. They are. But when you go out in the real world, and I haven't been out in the real world in a while, honestly, we've been working our butts off. I just do events with my daughter lately and that's it. On the weekend, it's the first time I went out. People could not have been nicer. Overwhelmingly, like all of them. This is not the real world. You listen to these doomers and gloomers and they're so full of shit. And honestly, Cassidy, taking it from it, was one of them. Donald Trump, this is an issue with character, people choose, I'm the majority, but you're not the majority position. You finished third. And by the way, to the Donald Trump haters out there, cut the bullshit like, oh, what do you have to kiss the ring? Bullshit. That is total bullshit. I know a lot of people in the Trump orbit who don't agree with him on every issue. He doesn't expect loyalty on every single issue. However, he does expect some loyalty to the cause of moving the Republican Party in a more conservative, prosperous direction. Cassidy's just reinventing Donald Trump. Oh my gosh, it's something, some maniacal man king. Here he is this weekend. He appeared on the Big Weekend Show and Jason Chafetz, former Republican Congressman from Utah, just grills him on this impeachment question and he won't answer. If you're so proud of what you did and you fell for the impeachment hoax and you think you're the better part of the Republican Party, then have some thin balls, man, and stand up and do something about it. Don't run from it like a chump. Check this out. A question for you is still about Donald Trump. I mean, knowing what you know now about the farce that was put forward to the American people and the Congress, knowing what you know now, would you still vote to actually convict Donald Trump of the charges that he was put up for? Reporters always love to ask that question. I'm a doctor. You give me all the information I can, I make a decision, I move on. I don't keep on going back, oh, what happened five years ago? I'm thinking about what's gonna happen five years now. You just talk about the stuff you've done for the last five years. You just touted everything you've done for the last five years. Why can't you answer that question? Would you or would you not actually vote to convict knowing what you know now? It's a simple question. Yeah, Jason, you may go back and flagulate yourself over decisions in the past, I do not. I move on. By the way, what I'm talking about is not just the present, it is the future. By the way, the future also includes that if somebody wants somebody working for the state of Louisiana, for the future not fixated on the past, then polls closed at eight o'clock tonight, get out there and vote. That's not the point, bro. That's not the point at all. The point is he's asking you to acknowledge, knowing what you know now, that both of the impeachment efforts against Donald Trump or hoaxes, would you reevaluate the situation given the current inputs, which are now better inputs than bullshit inputs you had making the decision last time? He doesn't even want to answer the question. Folks, he finished third. He is a sitting United States Senator. Do you have any idea how hard it is to unseat in a primary a sitting United States Senator and no less a congressman? Senators are even harder. Their terms are three times as long. For the liberals, this thing, a representative in the house, it's a two year term. Senators have six year terms. That's a lot of time to build up goodwill with constituents in the state. And it's a ton of time to raise a bunch of money. He finished third, man. Now, you've got another test of the Donald Trump endorsement coming tomorrow in Kentucky with the Tom Massie Ed Galerine. We had Ed on, the Patriot, decorated military service. See what happens tomorrow. Again, I try to stay out of this Republican on Republican stuff because there were so many bigger fights. However, there are people in our tent trying to steal away our movement and you should give them the double barrel and be like, no, no, this isn't your movement. You don't get in here. And after we've been at this knocking on doors, some of us running for office, raising money for causes, being activists, you don't get to walk into the tent and hijack the movement as your own. It's not yours. You can start a different movement, see how much power you have. Clearly the Cassidy movement wasn't working. Folks, Donald Trump's records of achievement, records from 45 to 47, records of achievement are substantial. When put up against the marker of history, he is gonna be one of the most decisive, influential Republican, forget about Republican presidents we've had in modern times. There's no disputing that. The world has changed because of him. The world has changed because of him. A complete reevaluation of what was the global order and the managed decline of the United States. That's over. Rubio said something about that. Did I send you guys that tweet? I don't even, but Rubio said something. Well, no, we are not gonna be stewards of a managed decline of the United States anymore. The preeminent America first movement, that is a Donald Trump led movement. You don't get to hijack this stuff because if you're not careful folks, we're gonna turn into the UK and Europe. Did you see what happened this weekend? Ladies and gentlemen, I gotta tell you, I'm glad I went to London a couple of years ago because I gotta tell you something. I'm not messing around either. I'm a little worried about ever going back that I won't be surveilled or even worse over there now. My dealings with their law enforcement people were fantastic. They were very professional. I just wanna be clear with that. However, here's Keir Starmer. Here's Keir Starmer warning this group of there was a big protest in the United Kingdom this weekend. Basically against unfettered illegal immigration, the attack on civil liberties in the UK. You're getting arrested for tweeting now. Rubio declares new Western century and world speech because America won't oversee the managed decline. You're damn right. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Do not become the UK or Europe. Or you're gonna have guys like this. Here's Keir Starmer basically warning people against protesting. Yeah, this is a real thing. Check this out. I think the government will not stand in the way of peaceful protest, but we will act decisively against hatred. We will use the full force of the law when that hatred manifests as violence. And we will ban those coming into the UK who seek to stir it up as we have done already because this country belongs to all of us. And I will not tolerate anyone who seeks to stand in the way of that. He won't tolerate it? It's like the words of King George or something. What is he talking about? We won't tolerate hatred. Who gets to define what hatred is? Because the only hatred I saw at the rally was a bunch of left-wing lunatic counter protesters who were talking about shooting Tommy Robinson, one of the organizers in the neck like Charlie Kirk. No! That's repulsive. They didn't say that. Receipts incoming. Who's this content creator? Yeah. Samara Gill. You think this didn't happen? Receipts incoming right now. These are the lunatic counter protesters. These sound like the people full of hate, Kier Starmer. Do not let this stuff come here. And the bulwark against it is the Rubio, Trump-Rubio vans team. That's the bulwark against it. Vance has been warning about this. Vice President Vance, the disgusting decay of civil liberties in Europe and the UK for a long time. Here, watch these crazy people counter protesters. This is hatred. Check this out. Come on in. Excuse me, should we shoot Tommy Robinson in the neck? Okay. Get your flip elsewhere, bubble. So they've just said that they want to hang Tommy Robinson and shoot him in the neck like Charlie Kirk. It's getting very aggressive. Thank you, Samara Gill, for exposing this of that's the real hatred. Do not let this stuff come here, folks. Do not let this stuff come here. You've got this is why people are so afraid of Donald Trump and his America first agenda. Because Donald Trump is the first president in a long time on the Republican side to cut through the euphemistic politically correct bullshit and say, if the rest of the world was as great as America, they'd be America. Every single person is a child of God. It is not a reflection of the people. However, it is a reflection of the organizing principle nation states have. Nation states that have shitty governments wind up producing a population of people where a lot of problems develop. That is not the United States. The United States has its issues like anywhere else, but we are the wealthiest, most prospering, most prosperous free country in our, we do not have to pretend anymore that American exceptionalism like Obama said, just like Greek exceptionalism. It is not. It is not. You have elections coming up. You've got the midterms. You've got this LA mayor's race where this Spencer Pratt has been basically highlighting the contrast between what the future will look like under this left wing totalitarian violence or right wing economic freedom, personal freedom and liberty. You got to paint a picture for people. You've got to show people what it looks like. I'm not going to play the whole thing, but this guy's ad team, the Spencer Pratt Los Angeles mayor's race, is just epic. This is just a PhD level course in political advertising. Did you see the latest spot? They're doing Lego ads now or something. This must be a, I don't know if it's his team or just random people on the internet, but this stuff is just crazy. Check this out. Spencer Pratt lost everything. Watch the flames take everything. But instead of looking down, he's exposing this whole town. Spencer Pratt is fighting. Everything gets better when you fight for the seed. Spencer Pratt is rising. He's going to save LA's dreams. That's Shell, DSA on Axis. You folks, there was a new, I'm going to play another one of these tomorrow in the New York governor's race with Kathy Hockel. This AI, and I got a clip on this coming up later. This AI explosion is going to create an entirely new era of contrast, snapshots and sound bites in political advertising. That's going to enable you to do things you were never able to do before in a budget like this. I don't know how much that cost. I assume it's not that much. You know what political video ads take to make? My gosh, when I was running out in that congressional race, they cost a fortune. Folks, do not become Europe. Do not. You just have to listen to the other side. When they tell you who they are, the Democrats, that they want us to become Europe and the UK, dissipate our civil liberties, engage in totalitarianism, take your money, they want to hike your gas prices and your gas taxes. Just listen to them. I got video coming up right now. Did you see what happened at the Democrat governor's race in the debate? I'm going to take a quick break here, and then I'm going to get to that. They're telling you, they are running on one day, Donald Trump affordability. Hey, do you guys want to drill? Nah, effort, we don't want to drill. I thought you were talking about affordability. Just listen to them. They're telling you who they are. You want to be more like Europe and the UK? Just listen to the Democrats saying. Quick break and we'll get right back to it. As you can tell, I slept great last night. I needed it, man. Got to sleep late after that Morgan concert. I was hurting. I was Friday night. I was still recovering on Sunday, and I was standing for a long time and my knee blew up. So I needed a good night's sleep. Thankfully, I have a Helix mattress. H-E-L-I-X, I've had one for 10 years. Let me get a third one now. Spring always flips a switch for me. You want things lighter, cleaner, a little more dialed in. That includes how I sleep, how you sleep. Before swapping furniture or tackling a full reset, fixing your mattress changes everything, everything. Sleep is the ultimate life hack. You know I'm into these mahal moments. If you're dealing with sore mornings, lower back pain, get up, knees hurt, whatever, and nights that never fully settle. Helix mattresses, they are a game changer. Paul and I have the Midnight Lux, their second one we had when I went up in DC too. And the difference was immediate. We used to wake up tight and uncomfortable, bad night's sleep, mattress just wasn't right, did soft spots and stuff, not that, not the Midnight Lux, we love it. It's like my body never fully shut off. Now I wake up actually rested on my Helix mattress. Even my sleep tracker can back it up there. More deep sleep, the REM sleep has been great. Fewer wake ups and mornings that don't feel like a struggle every day. What makes Helix stand out is that it's built around how you sleep. With over 20 mattress models, there's no guessing. You're matched to the right one, plain and simple. They make the process super easy with free shipping, a 120 night sleep trial, a limited lifetime warranty, and zero pressure, that's how confident they are in the product.

It's the ultimate. Life hack, thank you Helixsleep. Here's what I mean. Here in the Democrat governor's race, separate from the mayor's race obviously, but same lunatics on the Democrat side, they ask a simple question. Hey man, all you knuckleheads on the Democrat side keep talking about like affordability as if the Iranians getting a nuclear bomb and launching it at the United States wasn't a pressing generational threat. We needed to take care of. Nobody likes high gas prices, we get it, but they'll come down once the situation resolves and hopefully that happens soon. But there's no denying this was a very real threat. The Democrats can do something about it right now. They can lower California's ridiculously high gas price and they can actually drill for oil. You know, like from the ground to turn it into gas, like for your car. Here's the Democrats, you're gonna hear if you're listening on audio only. Steve Hilton first, Chad Bianco, the two Republicans say, yeah, of course we would drill, we need oil. Then listen to the Democrat cons. I don't think they cared about affordability, check this out. Governor, would you increase drilling off the coast of California? Yes or no? Yes, we have to lower gas prices. Thank you, Mr. Steyer. No way. Ms. Porter? No. Ms. Ravioca? Yes. Ms. Ravio Rogosa? No. Ms. Vissara? Absolutely not. Ms. Ramehan? No. These guys and ladies are full of I thought they wanted to lower gas prices, but they don't want to lower California's ridiculously high gas tax. They don't want to drill for any more. Have you ever heard of supply or demand? Listen to me, folks, Republicans are not the solution to all of your problems. I understand that. We have an imperfect party too. We got some people in it who are completely lost, Cassidy and others. I get it. I'm just telling you to the people out there voting in Spencer Pratt's race, the Mayor's race, the California gubernatorial, Kentucky tomorrow or elsewhere, do you care about productive spreadsheets policies where things actually happen or bullshit flowery campaign speeches? They can fix the gas price thing. They don't want to. Why aren't they doing it, producer Jim? Because they don't want to. What? Oh, he's got the sneakers on, trying to be the cool guy at a billionaire stire. I thought they hated billionaire. Look at him. Good catch. He's got the cool, wear sneakers, whatever. Just stop trying to be like the cool guy. It's all an act. It's always dancing with the left. You ever notice that? Affordability. It's all a dance. What are you doing about affordability? Nothing. It's all a dance with them all the time. It's never real. Why would you vote for this party? I don't understand. Nothing they tell you they're gonna do, they're actually gonna do. Here, you want to see an article. This is like one of those pieces I throw in the show. I promise almost no one else is gonna cover. It was a great op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. It didn't get a lot of traction, but it should. If you ever want an article that nails down how full of shit the modern Democrat liberal progressive movement is, read this article, Washington State's pension rate. I don't care about Washington State's pension rate. You should. Washington State has this pension plan, the state pension plan for cops and firemen. And using free market capitalist financial management, it's one of the few pension plans in the country that was unbelievably well managed so much so that these cops and firemen, their pensions, are really well protected in the future because the fund was well funded and earned revenue due to good financial management. What's the problem, Dan? The state of Washington led by a bunch of big government anti-capitalists who claimed to hate capitalism are now pissed off that the cops and firemen using capitalism got a good return on their pension fund. So the state of Washington is trying to steal the money from them to put back into the fund to fund their big government bullshit. I don't, who's, how are you falling for this in Washington? I thought you guys hated capitalism. But you love it when it earns enough revenue for the fund. And then when you're trying to take care of the public servants, the hero cops and firemen, you screw them over by raiding their pension because capitalism saved you? How stupid do you have to be to keep falling for this bullshit? You ever hear this term in like the crypto space and elsewhere, the rug pull, where people like in stock trading too, they pull the rug on you? The Democrat party is a big rug pull. It is a nonstop dance. You keep falling for this shit. We will be the UK. Hate speech bands. Who gets to the fine with hate speeches? How crazy, how bad does it have to be by the way? When even CNN's starting to notice. I think this LA mayor's race has really put into perspective the blue city liberal government's apocalypse happening in the United States, happening in the United States. Even CNN's starting to notice. Here's a quick for Reed Zacharias segment where he's like, hey man, I gotta be honest with you, this blue city liberal stuff ain't really working out. This is CNN. This is CNN, not the Dan Bargino show. Well, it's CNN on the Dan Bargino. Check this out. New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront. Blue cities are out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day. Take Los Angeles, another one party metropolis wrestling with affordability and disorder. The city's homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025, 26 totals about $950 million. The LA Homelessness Services Authority reported that in 2023, homelessness was up 9% countywide and 10% in the city. And a 2024 AP account noted that homelessness has searched 70% countywide since 2015 and 80% in the city. All this amid public frustration despite billions spent. An audit reviewed 2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that officials could not reliably track where it went or what it achieved. Folks, it's like they're providing homeless fertilizer with the billion spent. It's like they're trying to grow the homelessness problem. At what point on the left, or if you're on the right thinking about voting for the left, do you actually ask them for a result? What entity do you give this kind of money? What business, what charity, where you would demand nothing in return? Imagine giving to a charity, combat homelessness in South Florida where I live. And then they come back to you next year with an email and go, hey, great news, homelessness is up 80%. You'd be like, what the? But with government, it's considered perfectly okay. Because this is what happens when you decide you wanna open your border, by the way, let the entire world in a sense of, as God said, suicidal empathy, let everybody in, listen, give us your tired, but that's a poem, that's not a policy. Don't give us your tired and your poor. Give us your productive and energetic. That's a cute poem. Give us your productive and energetic. Or else you are engaged in global suicidal empathy. You wanna see what it looks like? Here's a GB news report, I'm really loving their content. One of the reporters goes out and he's talking to one of these migrants in the UK about, hey man, you think like we're a bunch of rich people who can just give away stuff? And the guy's like, yeah, yeah, you guys should just give us stuff like free houses. No, we don't owe anybody anything. You owe your family, your kids and your community. You wanna be the third world, keep voting for Democrats and you're gonna be the third world, check this out. We should, English people pay for you to have a house. Maybe they give me, how they give me anything, I can need that, give me. Just give it, yeah. Why? Because people in England is perfect. Oh, so you think we're all rich people? So we can give, okay. We're not giving anybody everything. Give us your active, energetic, smart and productive folks. This is the real world, man. It's not a Teletubbies episode. It's not sharing is caring, like the old fat dinosaur, Barney. Was that his name, Barney? Bubbles, whatever his name was. Barney, bubbles. Remember, she rings, no. No. Yeah, share with your family and your community. We don't need any more of this. Because what's happening? Some of these people come in here with this European multipolar model. The United States should be thrown. There should be multiple poles of power. No, there shouldn't. We're the United States, the most benevolent country on earth. We should be the unipolar power. Because we should win, correct? It's the Indy Indy 500 coming up. There's a pole position. You wanna win it, correct? You don't wanna be number two. You wanna be number one. That's what being a unipolar power means. Whenever you hear multipolar, you're hearing leftist mumbo jumbo. Take it, roll it up in a ball and throw it right in a garbage. We are the winner. We're the pole position. We do not need to import the entire third world to show the world in the sense of suicidal empathy, how nice and cute we are. Because it's not nice. Because people get hurt. Receipts in coming again. Here's Jim Jordan, one of the good guys up on the hill, congressman from Ohio. Here he is questioning the Fairfax County, Virginia district attorney, who apparently is one of these multipolar open border guys who gives a special set of rules, I guess, to illegals who get arrested in his system. And something really bad happened, which always happens when you engage in this suicidal empathy. Here's Jim Jordan calling him out. Check this out. Well, sir, your statements about we're not don't wanna prosecute guys is absolutely false. And my policies so far in this hearing. Are you saying what the sheriff wrote me is wrong? No, what I'm saying is that the way that my policies have been. December 16 presented in this. You chose outrageous. She said the Commonwealth's attorney, that's you chose not to prosecute Mr. Morales Ortiz on December 16th, and they had to release him. They had to do their job because you wouldn't prosecute. What happened on December 17th, Mr. Discano? What's so further? Let's talk about December 16th. No, that's the question. What happened on December 17th? I think you were stripping out the nuance. This guy murdered somebody. Yes, people freaking die, folks. Horrible tragic deaths. And we engage in this bullshit, Kier, Starmer, multi-polar, liberal, Pollyanna-ish, dream world utopian bullshit. This president's the first one to speak like a normal person in normal terms. You wanna come here? Great, my wife's an immigrant to the country. She's been nothing but productive. She's a web designer in a high tech space, managed strategic communications for a huge company. She contributed. You wanna come here? Be active, productive, smart, and energetic. Earn your spot like everyone else did. You don't earn it. Really? My mother was a, she worked a checkout counter in a supermarket. I said it a thousand times. My father was a plumber. Don't bullshit me like I was giving some silver spoon, okay? You gotta earn it, man. And yet you got a bunch of freaking rage bots on Twitter. Likely financed, by the way, by foreign money. Not all, but a lot of them. Trying to infiltrate our party, make you believe we should be like open borders, you know, new suicidal empathetic Republicans. We should let all these people in, and that's our principles. You know what our principles are? America first. That's our principles. Here's a guy I really enjoy his commentary. Talking about the rage bot phenomenon. I bring this up too for another, like I said, I don't get out that often. I just don't. It's not, no big deal. I just don't. But going to that concert this weekend and seeing all those amazing people, and just like getting a look them in the face and talk to normal people, it was really rewarding. And it reminds me, like if you spend a lot of your time on social media, like I do for show prep and elsewhere, sometimes you start believing this stuff is real folks, and you start to believe our party's somehow being hijacked by a bunch of folks. And you're not the minority. You're not the minority. You were the overwhelming majority. Bill Cassidy learned that the hard way. So did a bunch of Indiana Republican. Here's Nick Frithes talking about the rage bot phenomenon. If you're on X, you've seen this. It was crazy this weekend. Check this out. So it says, or anything Joe Kent says. When they were going through that, I would say, I don't, you know, I understand this criticism of Israel, but I don't understand this criticism of Israel. I would watch the comments just fill up with your paid off, your agoya, your, your, a Jew boy. Did you get your 7,000 shekels? Like, and I'm looking at that going, that's a left wing way of arguing. The left wing way of arguing is I'm not going to engage with your arguments. I'm just going to, I'm going to question your character, your motivations or your intent. And it's like, yeah, that's what the left does. Anytime you bring up anything, they call you a racist, a bigot or a sexist. Why? Because they're trying to rob you of moral credibility so they don't have to engage with your arguments. Folks, you see it every single day. Do not fall prey to the rage bots. Keep grounded. Stay grounded. Stay compass true north every time. This party has a set of value values and inviolable principles. Think about it like a treehouse, clubhouse rules. We don't discriminate against people according to their religion. Period. They're religion. It doesn't matter what the religion is. We don't do that. We don't discriminate according to skin color or any of this other bullshit. People trying to pull you into this identity politics, multipolar bullshit. Scrap them and throw them right in the garbage. That is not our party. Folks, the rage bots are not a reflection of what's going on in the real world. The proud, stand tall, President Trump's record is incredible. There's more to get done. We've got two and a half years left. There is more to do. However, the nothing is happening crowd is the bedrock or the rage bot agenda that want you mad at the MAGA movement because they want a fraction off their own MAGA movement and grow it, but it's not MAGA. So they have to tell you the original MAGA movement is failing because nothing is happening. Here's a tweet by Seb Gorka this week. I thought nothing was happening again. The left-wing media and the rage bots said, President Trump, their old FBI, the DOJ, they weren't doing anything about counter-terrorism. They're just focused on crime now. It's kind of crazy because all this happened in the last 24 hours. We got, yeah, nothing is happening. I think nothing is happening. These guys put a lot of work into the nothing is happening file. Maybe it should be a syndicated TV show like the X-Files. Here's what happened over the weekend. And last week, late on Thursday night, FBI agents locked up Muhammad El-Sadi in handcuffs. The leader of an Iran-backed Iraqi terror group allegedly responsible for more than 20 attacks across Europe and Canada and for planning attacks in the US. I don't know that was happening. I don't, what do you want? You guys just want to let this guy attack more people? Everyone's innocent till proven guilty. We get it, but a pretty big arrest. Also, they locked up Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, the highest ranking TDA leader to be extradited to the US, landed in the US in shackles. Your damn right he did. That was just this past week. Here's a Fox segment on El-Sadi folks. This was a serious threat. This stuff is happening. Donald Trump is the law and order counter-terror president. You've never lived in a safer country than you live in right now. Those are just numerical objective facts, but I thought nothing was happening. This is demeritism meant to psychologically, this is a PSYOP. It's an operation meant to get you before the midterms, pissed off at the lack of action despite action staring you right in the face, overwhelming amounts of action. Check this out. 32 year old Mohammed El-Sadi is facing six counts of terrorism related charges. And prosecutors say he was plotting attacks on Jewish targets in Arizona, Los Angeles and New York. And that he worked with groups that were affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani posted this on X last week. I'm grateful to our NYPD and federal law enforcement partners for disrupting an alleged plot involving a senior member of Kataib Hezbollah. Let me be clear, anti-Semitism, violent extremism and terrorism have no place in our city. This kind of hate is despicable. The Department of Justice showed a social media post allegedly from El-Sadi there, showing the US Capitol in rubble. It's not just that folks, there are other things happen. How many people in the audience, folks in the chat, this is for you? How, this is probably a question of this show, if any show doesn't need to be asked, but I'm gonna ask you to me, how many care about the Second Amendment? I know I do, because if you don't have the big R God-given right, which you do to defend yourself, then you're just pray for the bad guys who don't give a damn about the Second Amendment, guns, gun control, gun rights, any of that stuff. No such thing as gun control. They don't care about that. Yes, American flags in the chat, just about everybody, including our 56,500 people tuning in right now, care about the Second Amendment. Cause if you don't have the right to defend yourself, you have nothing, it doesn't really matter the tax rate, because you're freaking dead. Justin, the dead people pay taxes. He said no, but actually they probably do. They're, unless they vote for Joe Biden, that's right. Yes, American flags in the chat, the Second Amendment matters. Why am I bringing this up in the nothing is happening file segment? Because again, more things that they tell you aren't happening, the doomers that are happening, that they won't tell you about, because they're not interested in what's happening. They're interested in getting you to not vote. Did you see what happened in Colorado with this ridiculous magazine restriction? The Department of Justice found a very, the Trump Department of Justice, by the way, found a very novel way for you Second Amendment advocates to make things happen, where they can use some existing civil rights legislation to sue the state of Colorado. Hat tip to my friend Chris who sent this over the weekend. I'd seen this story, but I hadn't seen this video. This explains what happened. Here again, is more stuff happening. Check this out. The Department of Justice just sued Colorado over its magazine ban. They're using a civil rights law created after the Rodney King beating to do it. This isn't just another Second Amendment lawsuit. The DOJ is using a federal law from 1994 that was originally designed to go after police departments accused of violating constitutional rights. And until now, it had never been used to defend the Second Amendment. Colorado bans magazines holding more than 15 rounds. The DOJ says enforcing that law violates the Second Amendment and because state troopers and CBI agents are the ones enforcing it, the federal government claims they're engaged in a pattern or practice of violating people's constitutional rights. In other words, the DOJ is treating enforcement of Colorado's gun law like a civil rights issue. And here's where it gets even more interesting, you guys. Part of the DOJ's case actually uses Colorado's own past court findings against the state. Years ago, Colorado acknowledged that these magazines are commonly owned across the country and by millions of people in Colorado itself. Now, the DOJ is saying if they're commonly owned, they may be constitutionally protected. More happening from the nothing is happening file that they don't tell you about. I thought some of these people running were big civil libertarians. That's what they cared about. It's interesting how they don't wanna tell you about any of this stuff as they're constantly shitting on everyone around, oh, we do it better. What have you done? You're not doing it. A lot of these folks have the real ones respect, respect. Period, love you. To the fake ones, doomers trying to get in our movement because they don't like a group of people, whatever it is. It's interesting how you always leave this stuff out. Folks, we are living in a really, really dangerous time. I got a lot more coming up. I got the maha moment. I got a, you just a killer segment on AI. I'm gonna take a quick break and I'm gonna get back to this because folks, something happened in Italy this week. You need to be very concerned about serious time now, okay? We are in a really, really, I don't like, because I'm not trying to induce any panic in you, God forbid. But we do have to be real about the threats. We need information moving forward because there are some threats. If we don't have information, I'm just gonna deliver the bad news. We can't stop. We can't, no, not if we don't stop it in the information front. I'll show you what I mean because two things happened this weekend. It involves cars and involves drones. And once you see it, you'll understand exactly what I'm saying. Last break right back to the show. Speaking of which, folks, it's time to get prepared. Listen, I'm sorry, but when emergency breaks bad, if you can't take care of your family, I can't afford to take care of other people. I gotta take care of my family first. Prepare with Dan.com. My Patriot supply is where you go for emergency prepared equipment, emergency food. Listen, if the last few years have taught us anything, that the systems we rely on can break down, they have.

You have to be prepared. However, information warfare is going to be the key going forward. Now, being an actual civil libertarian, I said this many times and I'll repeat it again during my tenure in government over the past year I was very concerned about surveillance technology. Everything from no touch malware, you know what no touch malware is? The ability to send you something on your phone whether you touch it or not, no touch malware. They've got your whole phone. It is really troubling. We put a number of heavy restrictions in place on the use of this technology. However, there are times I think we can all agree. If you have probable cause to believe that there's going to be a terror attack on American soil that we need to use this technology, correct? We used to, you know, we've been using title threes and wiretaps forever as long as it passes judicial scrutiny and good guardrails on civil liberties. Why am I talking about cars and drones right now? Because you can't, there's nothing you can do about them to make them illegal. You can make the purchase of, let's say, an anpho ammonium nitrate and fuel oil to make a bomb, an anphobomb. Above certain amounts, you can put certain restrictions in place, make sure construction companies use them. There's nothing you can do about cars. You can't make the purchase or use of cars illegal nor would you want to. So if people are going to use cars and attack, we've already seen it on Bourbon Street, this is not new, it's happened here. Was it the sugar ball a few years ago? We've seen it already. If we can't stop the use of a car in a terror attack, then how do we stop? We have to stop it either at the border, keeping these people out of the country. We expanded the use of biometrics during our time at the FBI there to make sure we had biometrics of people overseas before they even got on the plane. You have to keep them out or you're gonna see something like this that happened in Italy this weekend. Folks, let me just warn you before we play this on VO voice over here. It's not easy to watch if you have kids in the room, but this is another vehicle attack. We have seen hundreds of these around the world. Oh man, look at this. It goes on. And again, I'm sorry to, but if you don't see what I'm talking about, I don't want a sugarcoating, look at this. It's just horrendous, folks. This has already happened over and over and over again. This is why I'm telling people, you have to have an FBI, DOJ, DEA, a CIA that respects, roundly respects, and in big, bold, bright colors, respect civil liberties. But once we get information, we have to have the tools to go after these people because all they have to do is make a turn on the street and mow people down and there's nothing you can do. Here's a hero bystander tackling the driver after the bloody car and knife rampage in Italy this weekend. You can't stop this stuff with traditional tactics. You can track a nuclear weapon. You can track if you see a pattern of suspicious purchases and you have probable cause of belief someone's a bad guy. You can't stop someone from making a right turn on Bourbon Street. Drones are the same problem. Now, I think the threat from this, we're gonna have to let it flesh out. I don't like panic stories. However, I saw the story at Axios this weekend. Ladies and gentlemen, really disturbing. There's a community note on it, which I think is accurate. Exclusive, Cuba's acquired more than 300 military drones and began discussing using them to attack US assets. Now, the community note I think is fair. US officials do not believe Cuba's an imminent threat or actively planning attacks with drone discussions only in the case of deteriorating relations. However, even the community know what does deteriorating relations mean? This is a real threat. You've seen it in real time. You're never gonna stop drones. The explosive growth of this technology through deliveries, surveillance systems. When I say surveillance systems, don't assume I mean law enforcement. Bridge engineers are using this to surveil the paint job on a bridge so they don't have to send someone up to the top. This is an unbelievably valuable technology, but there is a danger. Did you see what happened in Moscow this weekend? Yeah, like Moscow, Russia for the liberal. The Ukrainians are not starting. You've been using drones for a long time. This is some footage from a drone attack in Russia. Folks, we better get ready for this quick, man. You're not gonna be able to stop this stuff without a good, solid, strong information warfare. Do you want a guy like Donald Trump in charge who understands the civil liberties component, but also understands the need and information warfare to intercept these people before they get to the country? Make sure, and by the way, if you were a non-US citizen outside of US territories, our states, you do not have the protections of the Constitution. That is not for you. We are allowed to gather intel, and we should, does anybody dispute that? The Constitution's not a global document. It's a governing document for the United States. You're planning a terror attack in the Sahel. We have, and you're not a US citizen, not on US soil. We have no obligation to provide you any constitutional protection whatsoever. Do you want them in charge, or you want dancing guy in charge and these other guys? Folks, there's a serious party governing right now that has a spreadsheet full of results they can run on. Look what we did, and then there's a party talking about affordability. You guys want a drill? Nah, I don't want a drill. You want to lower gas price? Nah, I don't want to do that either. There's a pension crisis. So why are you raiding the pensions in Washington? Everything Donald Trump does at the border, he's a racist. Really, you want to stop these people? You want to let them in? People down on Bourbon Street again? Shooting up our national guard members? Lighting people on fire in Colorado? You want that? I don't want it. That's the evolving threat. I only bring up dancing guy. Do you have that Peers Justin Peers in the video? Because here's this guy in his dyslegislator in Tennessee. I just want you to be reminded here, okay? We did, you can look this up by the way, receipts matter. We did this huge operation called Operation Viper, where we sent a whole bunch of FBI assets into Memphis, where this guy, he's a Tennessee legislator, this Joker, Moron, this guy doing the whole dance routine. We never heard a word from this guy because he doesn't give a shit about results. He never called us, hey, what can we do to clean up my city for my constituents? Let me, let's get this, let's reach across the state and federal divide and fix it. He never did shit, all he does is dance. Here's some more video of him getting pissed off at a hearing confronting another fake tough guy. Look at this. No, no, no, no. Look at this guy, clown Joker. Another coward, total chump, you fake tough guy. Oh, please stop me. I get so sick of these clowns. Fake tough guy loser, you're busy dancing now. Never called us one time to the citizens of Memphis being mowed down by gangs and drug slingers. I want you to know this clown, the dancer, fake tough guy. I just want you to know this guy never called us one time. Never heard a word from him. He's full of shit this guy. Actor, dancing all the time. That's all they do. You want the dancer, you want results. Folks, technology's there. It's not going anywhere. And what address another uncomfortable topic? I know it's not easy for a lot of you to hear. I am, I've said it, you've heard me say it over and over. I am concerned, not panic, but concerned about where artificial intelligence is going to go. I don't like black holes of information. And the hard reality is some, not all, but some are not going to go. Some, not all, but some of the technology in AI, even the inventors of it can't explain exactly how it works. It is a black box in some respects. Some of the new developments in AI are frightening. However, I am here to give you the hard truth and the reality of the situation, which is this. If other countries develop advanced AI systems before us, we are all freaking dead. End of story. We do not have a choice. We can fight back or we can get dead. And I'm not getting dead. That is it. There is no option C that says, stand back, don't develop any kind of cloud computing systems, don't develop AI. That is not an option. We will be dead, make no mistake. They will develop an AI cyber infiltration attack that wipes out our industrial control systems in our grid. And you're going to turn on your faucet and there ain't going to be no water. We don't have a choice. We can either be a unipolar leader in this space or we can be dead. That is just a hard reality of the situation. Here's Ken Griffin from Citadel, talking about how AI now is growing at this. People overused the word exponential in terms of how mathematics of it would work. He's not kidding here. There's linear progression, arithmetic progression and geometric exponential progression. This stuff is blowing up by the day. We cannot be in a multipolar environment here or we'll be dead. Check this out. In the last few months, there has been a step change function in the productivity of the AI toolkit. It is profoundly more powerful than it was just nine months ago. And it has been really interesting to watch, to be blunt, work that we would usually do with people with masters and PhDs in finance over the course of weeks or months being done by AI agents over the course of hours or days. So these are not mid tier white collar jobs. These are like extraordinarily high skilled jobs being, I'm gonna pick a word, being automated by a Gen FKI. You could just see how this was going to have such a dramatic impact on society. Folks, I wish I could give you, you know, a cute little like Emily Dickinson poem right now about how great it's all gonna be and there's gonna be no want and there's gonna be no downsides and everything's gonna be free. No, there is a downside. This stuff can be very dangerous. There's no doubt. There are big trillion dollar companies that are finding out the hard way. Was it Google or something? They ran one of these AI programs and I forget who it was, but found like major flaws in their system that would have taken forever. You don't think there are foreign governments doing this now? You're seeing also this regional Democrat effort to push back against AI as if there's no consequence to losing this fight. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of when I was a kid, the whole like no nukes thing. No nukes is great. I wish there were no nuclear weapons. That's not the world we live in. Do you remember the 1980s, the no nukes movement, Justin's like, I wasn't even born in 1980. I was, I was like 10 in 1984. I remember the Reagan year as well. No nukes, Star Wars. That's not the world we live in. Right, good point, Jess. I'm just screaming in the streets. I'm seeing the same thing with AI. You can deal with this nuclear technological weapon. Oh yeah, it was Google. I was right. See, I'm not crazy. Google says criminal hackers use AI to find a major software fly. I knew I was a nuts. You can deal with this nuclear level of life-changing technology, or you can go hide in a corner, pretend it's not there, and get freaking dead, just like we would have already been dead if we would have had no nukes while the Soviets built up their nuclear arsenal under and drop off Gorbachev and others. Reagan said, like Trump's saying now, we've got to handle this like adults. Started with him meeting with Gorbachev and Geneva and later Reykjavik, where he was like, hey man, we're gonna deal with the world as it is, we're gonna bullshit people. You're seeing it now regionally too. New York and we don't want any cloud computing. Fine, they'll come down to Miami and elsewhere. We need this stuff. It's not an option, man. I've done, and by the way, to all the critics out there, if you've never listened to my show and the hundreds of episodes we've done about my concerns, about unregulated AI use, just please stop, you don't know what you're talking about. There's no one more concerned than me. I'm also concerned about getting dead if we lose this fight, and you will, and I don't want you to get dead. Speaking of not getting dead, and what is an unintentional segue about not getting dead, but you know I love these Mahom moments in the show. There we go. Who did that picture of RFK? Is that you? That's a little like RFK, but if you want you can take that one. That's a really nice picture they did of you. You guys gave him a few extra inches in the chest, I can tell. He's pretty jacked. How old is he, do you know? Is he in the 70s yet? Who in the chat knows? Someone's be, I think he's in the 70s, right? He looks pretty good. 72, damn. 72, I remember 72, we were kids. Who's 50 or older? You remember what 72 looked like when we were kids? Man, 72 was rough. We didn't have all the science and technology right now. People who were in their 50s looked like they were the 70 year olds. They just got beat up, bad man. God bless our grandparents. They lived in a tough world, man. They were depression here and everything. But you know I love these Mahom moments. I'm obsessed with the Col Plunge. I do it every morning. I will say if you've got like heart problems or medical condition, the Col Plunge is probably not for you. But the Mahom movement is a huge portion of the MAGA movement now going forward. And no one's happier about it than me. It is way past time. The whole idea of like faith, family and community. Well, you're part of all that. You have faith, you're the head of your family and you're part of your community. If you're not healthy, you're gonna get dead. So the Mahom movement's part of all that. I love the Col Plunge. But there's a part about the Col Plunge outside of what I think are the benefits of cold shock proteins and elsewhere. I go in for three minutes every morning, 47 degrees. It sucks every morning. It is awful, awful. I walk out of my house. It's dark. I get up at six now. I'm in that thing by six, 10 usually. I drink some hydrogen water and then I go in. It is the most miserable three minutes of my life. Horrible. However, I swear by it. Here is, you're gonna see this scientist first and then David Goggins and Andrew Huberman talking about why the Col Plunge is not just good for the body, but is unbelievably good for the mind, your will to live, your willpower, all of it. This is really good. Check this out. Ice bath is one of the best things that you can do for your brain. This is one of the most important discoveries that neuroscience has ever made. There's a brain structure called the anterior mid-singulate cortex. There are now a lot of data in humans when people do anything that they don't want to do. Like if you love the ice bath, yeah, I love the ice bath. You go from one minute to 10 minutes. Guess what? Your anterior mid-singulate cortex did not grow. None. But if you hate the cold water, there is no part of me right now that wants to do this, which is why I'm doing it. Then the anterior mid-singulate cortex gets bigger. What if you don't do it the next day? Or if you do it the next day and you enjoy it? Cause hey, hey, hey, I did it yesterday. Woo-hoo. The anterior mid-singulate cortex shrinks again. Yep. So when I wake up in the morning, I don't dress warm. I wear my fucking underwear and I go outside and I lift the lid on that morasco cold plunge and I see the fucking ice floating up in there. And every day I climb in. Well, how's it working? It's working. And in people that live a very long time, this area keeps its size. In many ways, scientists are starting to think of the anterior mid-singulate cortex, not just as one of the seats of willpower, but perhaps actually the seat of the will to live. See, now we're talking. Now we're talking is right. You see a little clip of Joe Rogan, who's a big cold plunge advocate. So is Dana White from the UFC. Listen, I'm not your doctor. Seriously, with the cold plunge, before you start jumping in there, definitely get a checkup because there have been some issues with people with heart trouble, people without, it generally can be pretty safe, but you definitely got to check first. I'm just telling you, it changed my life. People ask me about health hacks all the time. I've got tons of them, sauna uses, collagen, creatine, I feel the grids, a healthy diet, obviously working out. I get it. This cold plunge changed my life. It really did. The dopamine surge, you get out of it less all day. I don't even drink coffee for about two hours after I get up. I come in the office, Jasmine buys me these, what, the blackout cold brew thingies or whatever we have. And I just guzzle one of those babies. That's not for like two hours or so. Time for my air squats, eight array in the chat. Yes, 100 air squats a day too. All right, folks, listen, we got an important race in Kentucky. You pick who you want Kentucky for. I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. You got the Massey primary. Personally, I like Ed, Ed's a nice guy, but it's up to you guys to choose. I'm just telling you the power of the Trump endorsement, the MAGA movement is real. You know, we are a big open tent, but you know, don't come in the tent and shit all over the place. I'm really sorry. If you're not going to acknowledge the stuff that's going on to work, people like me, you and others who've been building this movement for 10 years did, and you're just going to claim nothing is happening while a whole bunch of amazing things are happening and focus only on blackpilling and doomer stuff, then you're really not part of our movement. You're an op and everybody knows you're an op. But pick who you want will be covering that. Tomorrow results will obviously be out on Wednesday. So we'll see what happens. But the Trump endorsement, it's the only endorsement in the business that honestly matters. No one votes for endorsements except for his. It's been really powerful. We'll see what happens in that race. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. We got Haley coming up. Haley coming up. Bubbles the purple dinosaur. I did get it right the first time, Barty, right?
