Obama Says The Unthinkable (Ep. 2510)

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. Yeah, man, buckle up for this one, because we're gonna play a little bit of Dan Bongino Show historical footage to show you that I have been saying the same thing for a really long time, and we've got the receipts to back it up. I want to address a couple of things right away at the beginning of the show. Number one, the Hantavirus story on the cruise ship. Very serious story. Obviously, there's been some tragic deaths. One death from this is too many. However, during the 10 years of my life, I was in security advanced work. We had a, if there was a platinum rule of golden rules, like a set of golden rules, and then platinum on top of it, the number one rule was this, don't shit the bed. Don't panic. I'm already seeing it. Media hysteria, the way people whittle away your rights and get you to willingly forfeit, like many people did, away their money, their freedom, put a mask on, get this shot, all this stuff. The way they do that is they're panicked and freaked out because some people, not you, buy into it. We're not doing that again. I'm gonna play a clip the guys found this morning. This was during peak COVID. What was it, March of 2020, right? These guys just pulled it. We're not doing that again, folks. We are going to slowly, logically, using reason, talk about this story, because I'm not letting this happen again. Sorry. I got that. Also, I'm asked all the time, was just asked by John Hannity on his podcast I did, the Hangout with Hannity podcast some of you saw. Thank you for the feedback. I am asked all of them. One question I get about my other job in the FBI just got out of. Is what was with the tweet, the shock to my core? Well, in case you missed it, some of you may have, I'm gonna tell ya, because what Barack Obama, former president, said the other day, almost at Colbert's show? No, no, no, we're not, no, no. Sorry. No, we're not doing that. You know, I know things too, Mr. President, and so do you. Not pretending I was at your level, you were the president, I was just the deputy director of the FBI, but it's not a small thing. And I'm not letting you get away with this. No chance. That's what shocked me to my core. The shocked again, listening to him talk about this on Colbert. I got a lot, I got, hopefully we'll get to this, Mahase, I may have got two pages of stuff today. It's a loaded show. Let's get to it. If you haven't taken care of the important moms in your life yet, I've got something for ya. No, not flowers. This is really stuff you can use over time. Talking about things to help protect their health and being prepared. Let's be honest, moms are the first responders at the household, you know it.

Teresa said that yesterday too. Full of energy. I slept really good last night. Sleep is the ultimate life hack. So thank you. We appreciate that. I want to play this first. I just want to get to this hand-to-virus story. And I want to prove to you that when everyone else, not everyone else, but a lot of content creators and cable news hosts that were freaking out, everyone's gonna die. Put your mask on. Inject a thousand things. We're all, everyone's dying all over this. The most dangerous plague in human history. It's like the seven sign. No, you have an outbreak of a virus on a ship. Here's a Fox News story. Yes, people die. It's tragic. It's really awful. Everyone, we're not going down this road again. Check this out. For three people have died during this suspected hand-to-virus outbreak. In total, the World Health Organization has confirmed three cases and suspects five others. As for the rest of the nearly 150 passengers who are still on board, including 17 Americans, well, they're on the move now. The MV Hondius is heading from the West African coast on its way to Spain's Canary Islands. The vessel is expected to dock in Tenerife maybe as soon as Saturday where the Spanish health minister says everyone on board will undergo medical tests. And if they're healthy, they'll be permitted to travel back to their home countries. Okay, very serious. We understand no one wants hand-to-virus. The Andes version of it, the other version of it. Nobody wants that. It could be spread through mice and their droppings. Horrible, very lethal. I told you this when COVID was breaking out back in 2020. I'll play the clip in a second. I hate playing clips from myself. By the way, this clip I'm playing next could be an ad for Brick House Lean too because I was about 30 pounds heavier and my hair was a little bit longer back then. You'll see it coming up. There are two things you need to concern yourself with in every viral outbreak. And none of those two things are hysteria. Ignore the hysteria. I'm not suggesting that the Fox clip was a pretty basic journalism clip, but I'm already seeing people online freaking out, ex-posts, we're all gonna, we're not, everybody calm the down. You need to concern yourself with two things. Please look this up. I'm not a doctor or a virologist, but this is pretty common sense stuff. How contagious is it? It is called an or not. You can look it up. The or not is on average, how many people an infected person is going to infect. The irony of a disease like a virus like hantavirus is once you come down with symptoms, it's so lethal that you will like, which is sad, but however, it's a math problem at that point. You are not very likely to infect a high number of people because you show symptoms relatively quickly and you're going to die. That's not a good thing, but it stops exponential explosion of the virus into a pandemic. That sounds weird, but it's true. The more lethal and quickly the onset of symptoms for a virus, the less likely it's going to explode into a pandemic. That's why COVID created such a unique problem. And of course the lethality of the second part by the way is lethality. So you have the or not, how contagious is it and how many people die and how quickly. Those are the only two things you need to know. If it's very lethal, it's an inverse relationship. The more lethal is it, the or not slower because it kills you before you can spread it. That's why the flu and COVID, the or not are very high because symptoms take a bit and in COVID, the lethality rate was way overestimated. You know how many people were killed by interventions like ventilators? Yes, COVID technically was the cause of their death, but it was the intervention. I want to play this clip from Pete COVID. I don't like playing clips of myself because it's stupid because I could say it again, but I get this a lot from people who are like, well, where were you during COVID? Well, I can tell you, we were warning people, don't sell your stocks, please don't panic, please don't freak out. I don't trust what's coming out of officials. I think Trump was the only one like, this thing probably came from China and then you got a bunch of people in his office, you know, lobbying him to panic and he wouldn't do it. He had Fauci and these others check out this clip and again, this could be an ad for like weight loss price. It was like 30 pounds heavier, check this out. I think the panic around coronavirus, the question, the only question here is the panic surrounding coronavirus, again, not helped by many in the media, the price we're putting on coronavirus, which is now severe, we're in like severe mode now, commensurate with the threat. I made this point over and over and I will continue to do it like a broken record because it matters. The question is not the, is the coronavirus a threat? That is obvious. Yes, it is obviously a threat and a serious one, period, full, complete, total stop. The question is, are the costs we're imposing on everyone? Panic sell-offs, you're sweeping out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer in stores, you can't even find some toilet paper in some places. Are these commensurate with the threat or are they commensurate with the threat? The media is telling you is the threat. Remember, sometimes the media is telling you us story, not the story. Guys, I've, whatever, man, I've been saying the same thing since the show started in 2015. Don't fall for us story, follow the story, even if it means doing your own homework. I'm leaving this here, just I'm begging you as a friend, you guys have been with me and ladies for a long time. Don't get into another one of these traps about the hand the virus or the next virus either because there's always gonna be one around the corner. Do your homework, what's the R not? What's the lethality, preventative measures? Do the smart stuff, wash your hands, stay away from sick people and do not shit the bed under any circumstances. We're not going to do that thing again with the mask panic, you know, shut down. I remember going in a local supermarket here, they were like, this aisle is one way, are you kidding me? One way, what is this, a street with a stop sign? Like, no, you got to walk down this aisle and up the next one. I just intentionally went the other way, the arrows, just to have someone tell me that so I could tell them how stupid of an idea that was. I'm not kidding, it tried to like throw me out of the supermarket. Like, I'm not listening to this stupidity. I nearly got thrown out of a dermatologist's office too because I'm like, I'm not wearing that mask. All right, let's give them a hoover on. Please don't fall for this again. Everybody chill. And do not sell your stocks again. You know how many people lost money on that? I begged you, we're going to cut that clip too. Justin saw it this morning. He's like, remember you telling people not to sell their stocks? $1,050,000 now. You would have held onto your stocks, you're up like four, five X, please don't sell your stocks. I'll buy them and I don't want to buy them on the cheap. All right, so you guys have our nothing is happening file. I've got a couple of additions today to the nothing is happening file. You know the irony here, the irony here is some of the people out there who were COVID doomers and they were doing doomers and I think you guys know where I'm going with this. Some of the same people who were COVID doomers were all going to die. Are the same people who were Trump 47 doomers too. Nothing is happening ever. The more stuff happens, we add to the, the nothing we're going to have to dump this segment too because it's getting almost ridiculous at this point. But it's meant as a joke to highlight that there are a bunch of people pretending to be inside the MAGA tent that don't give a shit about you at all. They're only here to destroy. So a lot of stuff happened yesterday. Over the last year, one of the things we were intensely focused on at the FBI, Cash and I both and the Trump administration at large was public corruption. You don't have faith in elections and you don't have faith in public officials. The entire constitutional republic thread by thread gets pulled apart. So we just pulled some just reminders of some of the things that didn't happen that happened that the nothing is happening. People are telling you are nothing but we're actually something. Of course, we had the Florida Congresswoman who was doing some business according to the allegations with government after some fraud was uncovered. That was, we started that. And we had the Bolton case as well, still going on. Everybody's innocent till proven guilty. Former Gavin Newsom aide, Chief of Staff, that case is still going on. There were more of course than New Orleans mayor was indicted. This is all just during our tenure over the last year. Of course, things they say never happen. We had Kathy Hockels and Como's aide, accused of those charges. There you can see on the screen, these are all cases again, you were told weren't happening, Comey, you know about that, still going on. So of course, these are nothing's happening cases. Well, the nothing is happening file. We're starting to expand that on the public corruption front because if you believe this, I'm sorry, you're just being misled by a bunch of COVID doomers who are now political doomers, trying to get you to believe everything sucks all the time. Even though you live in the greatest country on earth. Here's another headline out of NBC News. I'm just don't want to be accused of using only right leaning sources. Department of Justice sends a subpoena to Georgia officials for personal information about 2020 election work. I know nothing was happening there either. I don't understand what do you think a subpoena is? What do you think a grand jury subpoena is? What do you think it's a receipt from a supermarket? What do you think that is? Oh, but it's happening too so. That's the way the justice process works folks. Sorry, nothing is happening is not a thing that it's happening too slow because you don't like the process fine, fair enough. Maybe we can make some legislative fixes hire a thousand more judges, 10 X the justice department and we can make things move faster but the justice department was designed to move slow. Of course this morning was a huge, huge day for DOJ as well because this week and they've been moving on a lot. Political playbook doesn't even like the Trump agenda. It's quote, this is where's their email this morning. This is like the Bible for everyone in politics in DC who reads this email every morning. Playbook quite a day at DOJ. Here's a lot more of nothing that's happening. DOJ unsettled Virginia politics with its Louise Lucas raid, we'll get to that. They kicked off an investigation of Fairfax County's top prosecutor. That's a separate case by the way. They sued Colorado over its large capacity gun magazine ban and they promised to step up the naturalizations of immigrant citizens who obviously accused of crime. That's a lot of nothing's happening in a week. That's a lot of nothing, man. Don't fall for the doom and gloom. Here is a Fox News report about an explosive case that's been going on for a long time about a established Democrat politician, again from the public corruption file. Every, these are allegations of course. Every been entitled their day in court. We believe in that in a republic. You can't argue nothing's happening. Check this out. These are court authorized criminal search warrants that they are issuing and they're going into the building behind me. This is the office here in Portsmouth of state Senator Louise Lucas. You can likely see some of the FBI agents behind me. All of the staffers inside this building were told to come outside. I could hear them saying that they were not allowed back in the building throughout the last hour. We've been seeing the FBI come and go carrying boxes out of the building. Now just across the parking lot next to where I am, there is a cannabis dispensary. We know that the state senator is associated with several cannabis locations and dispensaries. And what we're seeing there, a completely different scene carrying out SWAT teams arrived with their weapons drawn, telling anyone in the building to come out of the building with their hands up. We also saw at least three people being taken away, taken into custody. First they were put in handcuffs, put on the ground, and then they were taken away. So it's a slightly less large presence than we did see earlier, but there still is a good amount of FBI agents still here on the ground. Also what happened within the last hour, the Senator Louise Lucas arrived here herself. I was able to speak with her. I asked her what her reaction was to all of this. She told me she had no idea what they were doing here. Okay, now let's get to the good stuff. And by the good stuff, I mean the bad stuff, Obama. I put Obama in the title today, and it was interesting how many people, a couple on Twitter commented, "'Obama's been off the political scene for a long time. "'Yes, but the fallout from Barack Obama's two terms "'are going to live with us for a long time. "'And do not tell yourself otherwise. "'Borak Obama, I can make a strong case to you. "'Was the single most destructive force "'in American politics we've seen in 50 years, "'with Joe Biden either tied or a close second, "'not because Joe Biden was mentally stable and up there, "'but because he was mentally unstable "'and his staff just took over.'" If Biden would have had two terms, God forbid, ladies and gentlemen, he would have surpassed Obama in the destruction of the constitutional republic, thread by thread by thread. Be like pulling feathers out of a pillow till you have nothing left. Barack Obama appeared with Stephen Colbert. Yeah, I know it says that. He's Colbert here, I get it. We'll call him what we want. Who's doing, by the way, the longest goodbye tour ever? I thought this guy got canned or something. This guy's been on the air. This is the longest goodbye tour. Just say goodbye, whatever, man. This was really tragic. Listening to Barack Obama, retcon the American people, and imply somehow that he was not involved in any weaponization of the justice party. Oh, really? Want to hear about shock to my core? Hold on first, listen to Obama, and then we got receipts on this one. And by the way, they're all public. You can look this stuff up yourself. Check this out. We're gonna have to do some work to return to this basic norm, and we probably now have to codify it. The White House shouldn't be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the President wants to prosecute. Right, because technically it's under the executive branch. Technically it's- But the norm is that it's independent. The norm, the idea is that the Attorney General is the people's lawyer. It's not the President's consigliary. Right, even when it's Bobby Kennedy. That's Bobby Kennedy. And so, two of the core principles of a democracy. We can survive a lot. Bad policy, funky elections. There's a bunch of stuff that we can overcome. We can't overcome the politicization of the criminal justice system. The awesome power of the state. You can't have a situation in which whoever's in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies. Or reward their friends. Folks, this is the liberal progressive communist inversion principle at work. It's very simple. Just do something really horrific, like weaponize the Justice Department. Like Barack Obama did. And then in order to avoid scrutiny, just accuse your opponents of doing it. This is not complicated. You can call it a thousand different things. James Lindsay has a really good Darvo analysis of this. It's an acronym. You can read the whole thing. I'm just gonna simplify and call it the inversion principle. Whatever you're doing, accuse your opponent of. Now, I get this question all the time, mentioned at the beginning of the show. You put out that tweet. It was, I believe on a Saturday morning, you said you were shocked to your core about something. I've explained it a couple of times, and I don't wanna go into a long, elaborate, kind of, you know, toll story like novel about it again. However, here's the short version of it, because it involves exactly this. Barack Obama's full of crap. I think you clearly know that. Nobody weaponized the government and politicized the government and the mechanics and the gears of justice more than Barack Obama. And I've got some receipts coming up in a second from Grassley's office. But Barack Obama is retconning the past. You know what retconning is? Here's a Google Gemini definition of retconning. They use it in the movies all the time. It's short for retroactive continuity. It's a literary tool used in storytelling, particularly in comics, films, and TV, where previously established facts are altered, ignored, or recontextualized by new information. They've read the Halloween movies where Michael Myers do it all the time. Michael Myers dies and they retcon it, they just pretend none of that happened, they just start over. It's like Michael Myers 7, the return, return, return of Michael Myers. It's like the Jason movie. They just retcon it. They retroactively, continuously write the story like the past never happened. That's Obama. He is retconning his entire past by trying to blame the Trump administration for what he did. He did not politicize the government. It is Barack Obama, who after Donald Trump won and was president-elect in 45, authorized the Intelligence Community Assessment, the ICA, that basically created the whole Russia collusion fiasco. So when I sent out the tweet on Saturday morning, I had been in the office Friday night. Cash and I had a trade-off weekends about who would be in the DC area, because one of us had to be there at all times. So Paula wasn't coming into town that week. Long story short, that Friday night, I'm in the office pretty late. This guy comes running in with his hair on fire and he says, we found this document. I'm like, what? But you can't take it out of the skip. Of course. I'm like, okay, great, what is it? And folks, this was like the Rosetta Stone of the whole scheme. I read 50, 70 pages. I was totally floored. I think I was at the office until 6.30 or 7 o'clock at night. For there's no one around. It's a Friday, government Fridays. People leave like five o'clock throughout the door. I'm just saying to President Obama, you really want to go there? You think like you guys left no paper trail at all? Are you really sure about that? Because what we saw and what's going on right now is clear evidence that not only did you weaponize the government, but a lot of your people were dumb enough to leave a paper trail about exactly what you guys did in targeting President Trump. I'm just gonna use publicly available stuff. You can see yourself. Senator Grassley's office has done Yeoman's work on this. They put this out a while ago. Barack Obama, you had nothing to do with it? Listen, for my differences with some people out there, what happened to General Mike Flynn is a national disgrace. Here's a Grassley release from June 24th of 2020, folks. None of this is new. We've seen new stuff and I'm telling you again, you sure, Mr. President, you're gonna go down this road? Grassley on the Flynn investigation. What did Obama and Biden know and when did they know it? They note that Mike Flynn's legal team also released Peter Stroke, the FBI agent headquarters who was knee-deep in all this. He had notes regarding a meeting between Obama, Biden, Jim Comey, Sally Yates at DOJ and Susan Rice. Those notes appear to show several important things. Number one, that FBI director, Comey, said that Mike Flynn calls with the Russian ambassador, quote, appear legit. Number two, Obama ordered Comey to quote, look at things. Number three, Obama directed that quote, the right people investigate Flynn. Number four, Biden appeared to raise the Logan Act that they used to prosecute Flynn. Those look like receipts to me, Mr. President. So what's being done about him? It's not over, not even close. Justice takes time. I know it doesn't make a lot of people happy, that's okay, that's okay. You want it done right, you want it done fast, because you can't have both. We've seen what happens when you try to do things fast. You want it done correctly. I can't believe he said that. So personally disgusted by what he did in his two terms, was enough to get me to walk away from my prior job and run for office myself. I mean, you realize the level of disgust you have to have to walk away from your dream job as a Secret Service agent, it's all I wanted to do. That's all I wanted to do. I had three kind of dream jobs. I wanted to be a cop in the NYPD. I wanted to be an FBI agent or a Secret Service agent. Secret Service called first, who knew later the FBI thing happened. You know what it took to walk away from that? On Cinco de Mayo in 2011, when I made the call, to hear this guy just disgrace himself again, it's just abhorrent. We didn't weaponize the government. It's Trump really, Trump team did it. You sure about that? Okay, we'll see. When this Trump presidency is over in four years and this process, we'll see. We'll see who's right and who's wrong. I'm gonna take a quick break and I've got one more thing from the Nothing is Happening file, because this affects you directly and it is really important. Something really close to my heart, but it is really, really critical because you wanna ruin a neighborhood overnight, destroy the entire fabric of a neighborhood, this is the way to do it. Quick break, we'll get right back to it. Here's a question, how many brokers does it take to ensure your business? This is a problem that has impacted me and Paula dramatically. Thank the Lord we have found a solution to this one. If you're like most business owners, the answer is too many. You got all these brokers out there calling you, you gotta rewrite and give them the same information over and over, multiple policies, multiple applications and no clear view of how it all fits together.

Folks, I grew up in New York City, lived in Maryland, you know my backstory, many of you, if you don't, I just told you in the smallest nutshell ever. Open air drug markets really pissed me off. Growing up as a New York City cop, as an agent, as the deputy FBI, I was having none of it. Open air drug markets are a stain and open sore. You go out, you get drugies, they're all with the fentanyl look, you know the fentanyl look, they're hung over it, they can't stand up straight, they're crapping all over the street, throwing up, kids are going to school, they're stepping on needles. I said none of this, we're not doing it. We did these two big operations, you'll put them up first, the coast to coast. We did this coast to coast operation, we had our LA office, our New York office, go out there, raid these open air drug markets, clean them up, lock these people up. I said go in there heavy, go in there strong, get them out there. These were in December, at the end of my tenure, at the end of the year. Another one was in Philadelphia, if you know the Kensington drug market, you know this was a disaster, a disgrace of playing in the community. We shut that down too, some great work up in Philly out of there. But yesterday, I want to give a hot tip to an agency outside of the FBI, this was a DEA led operation, they do great work as well. They just crushed it out of MacArthur Park. You can see in this VO here, Matt Finn covered it at Fox, breaking 300 federal and local agents doing a raid at LA's historic MacArthur Park, where open air drug use and fentanyl fold can be seen. You know the fentanyl fold, not any given day, when they're folded over? No, those days are over. This, I'm just trying to prove to you that, yes, I would, and me and Cash were both personally disgusted by open air drug markets. This is a Trump administration move though. This is led from the top, it's not just the FBI, it's DEA and others, they are out there doing the real work. Look at some of the imagery coming out of this. You gotta go in there heavy, you gotta go in there strong, this is bullshit. These are our communities, I don't want your kids stepping on little needles and you know, God forbid picking up some fentanyl pill off the street and dying in an OD and accidentally, thinking it's like a gummy bear or something like that. No, things are happening, big things are happening, huge things are happening, and I don't want anyone telling you otherwise. We have a midterm coming up, all this stuff is gonna slow down if we elect these Democrats, because the Democrats are gonna do nothing, but subpoena people, weaponized government again, they're just gonna shut all this stuff down. You have a choice coming up in the election. Don't make the wrong one. While we're busy building coalitions and painting contrast for the election, the Democrats wanna turn back the clock, and they are running on one thing and one thing only. The Trump team is running on public safety, economic security, getting rid of the nuclear threat in Iran, the Dems are running on one thing and it's getting really dangerous folks. They are running on envy, and it's starting to create a really dangerous situation as we have multiple assassination attempts against President Trump. We've got a number of people out there, you know, say they're inspired by Luigi Mangione and the hit on the healthcare CEO. We can't have this. Running on envy as an agenda is going to create a bifurcated society where I'm telling you this stuff is going to explode. This is what's going to lead to either a soft or hard civil war. We can't have it. I'm gonna show you this Fox report. You'll see what I mean. This is involving the Palisades fire and a suspect in that case. I thought we were told the fire, the Palisades fire was climate change. It appears it was a combination of however, government incompetence and there is a suspect arsonist in the case. Again, everyone's innocent until proven guilty. However, I want you to listen to the Mangione part. You cannot run a society on envy or we'll all be dead. Check this out. In a pretrial memo where giving us a better understanding of Jonathan Rinderneck's state of mind, prosecutors say he ranted about being angry at the world, became obsessed with fire and was fixated on the accused United healthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione. Witnesses reported the Uber driver driving erratically while on routes around the Palisades on New Year's Eve. Court filings show Rinderneck talked to his passengers about Mangione capitalism and vigilanteism online. Rinderneck type in search terms like free Luigi Mangione. Let's take down all the billionaires and Reddit. Let's kill all the billionaires. In an interview with investigators on January 24th of last year when asked why someone might commit arson in the Palisades, Rinderneck responded that it would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as we're basically being enslaved by them. Folks, listen, listen to Brother Dan here, okay? You can't run a freaking society on this man. By the way, this is not the first time we've had a suspect in a violent incident site Luigi Mangione. This is being fertilized and gasoline is being put on this envy fire by the way, by people pretending to be in our tent who were the hidden knowledge data point people too. They're constantly telling you, hey listen, we've got the answer to this crime and that crime and what happened here. Well, what is it? I don't want to tell you, it's a data point, it's hidden knowledge, subscribe here, buy my merch there. It's a big scam. Please do not fall for this. Anchor your movement in truth, build coalitions, bring people in the tent, go out and present ideas. Envy is not an idea that's ever gonna lead to a prosperous growth oriented society where people can pass down a greater country and more prosperous country for their kids ever. It has only led to one place ever, death and destruction. Abigail Shryer did a hit on a podcast. I like Abigail. And Abigail was talking about why conservatives, not always, some people fall for this, we're not immune to it either, but very few on the conservative side are falling for this. This leads to death, destruction and a mental health trap because your entire life, all you're worried about is eat the rich, screw the cops, all cops are bastards that A-cap thing, that's all you're worried about. You don't worry about your own life because you suck. All you're worried about is someone else. Ken Griffin in New York, the rich guy, that's all your entire life is envy. Do not do that. Conservatives are very skeptical of this stuff and they isolate their kids from it. They don't fall for the current thing, men's penises in the women's room. We don't fall for that. And that's why conservatives, generally speaking, when you look at an analysis of mental health data, are more stable. Listen to Abigail Shryer talk about this. Don't get into the envy game, no matter what, and keep your kids out of it too. Tell them, worry about yourselves. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. Check this out. They often ask me, why do kids from conservative families end up healthier, happier? Conservatives especially love this research, but it's promulgated, basically, by liberals. And I think the answer is just this simple. Conservatives were more skeptical of the culture. That's it. The culture coming in was bad. And because conservatives recognized the culture didn't have their values, they approached it with greater skepticism. Any but every parent should approach this culture with great skepticism, unfortunately, because it's not a healthy culture. It really isn't for families and children. I want to tie the chapters of the show together. Let's go back to chapter one. Conservatives, you know it as well as I do. Folks, in the chat, come on. Tell me you don't know this. When the whole COVID hysteria was breaking out, it was conservative podcasts, like what is two thumbs at this guy and others. I wasn't the only one. It was a lot of conservative podcasters telling people, everyone needs to calm down. This is crazy. We're jamming ventilators down people's droids. We're killing people. We're a stupid mask. We are skeptical. I'm gonna tell you something. I am as pro back to blue as anyone else. I think you know that. However, there were even some police departments that were falling into this trap too. You saw it. We are skeptical. Stay skeptical. Ask questions. However, follow logic and reason to an answer. Don't just endlessly ask questions to ask questions. Ask questions intent on getting an answer. Man. We focus on our five point plan here. We are gonna build the coalitions and we can win. We still have a good shot at the midterms. Do not let yourself fall into this envy trap. Please. You wanna talk about a grand canyon like schism in our society. We will never recover from this if we let this set in. What's the five point plan? And scrap this filibuster. The save of the people. Scrap this filibuster. The save America act. Fix the census. Oh, look at this. They got a five point plan. Look at that. Very nice guys. Redistrict the lines to make them fair again. Control the border. That's the Bungino five step plan. We're already halfway home. I need to give you a sense of optimism so the doomers don't take over and get people to not show up at the polls to vote. Nothing's happened. Bullshit. Show up and vote. A lot of things are happening. We got three more years to make things happen. We're already, look at the plan. We're already halfway home. We're already halfway there. Border control, we're there. The redistricting is happening now. Receipts incoming. Census reform won't happen until 2030. There's nothing we can do now. The save America act is out there right now. We nuked the filibuster, which there's talk of, but look at Taylor. Good to see you buddy. Good man. My guy right there. We're already halfway home. We're already halfway home. Here's a clip of Tom Homan. Tom Homan working as the board of czar over at DHS. Here's Homan asked a very simple question on the border. I thought nothing's happening at the border. A shit ton's happening at the border. We've got zero illegal migrants issued multiple, allotted into the country, multiple months in a row. Check this out. Actually just came back from the US-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, Texas. And the situation there is night and day from what we saw under the Biden administration. Illegal crossings as you know, have plunged to record lows. What changed? Got a new president. And under Biden administration, he kept saying he couldn't do much about legislation. And when he'd let the legislation, they didn't need that. I mean, they should have learned from Trump 45 that through executive orders, you can fix a lot of this problem. If you're waiting on Congress, I'm not optimistic that Congress will ever address this problem. Especially now, such a divided Congress. But look, the change got President Trump in the Oval Office. He issued executive orders, a lot of the executive orders that worked in Trump 45, reestablished them with a few others. And as of today, we have the most secure border in history of the nation. I mean, even better than Trump 45. Don't tell me, cut the bullshit right now. Do not tell me the five point plan is impossible. We are a little over a quarter of the way through Donald Trump's second term. And we've already nailed two of the five points of the plan. And the Save America Act is out there. We've already nailed redistricting and border control. Stop telling me we can't do it. By the way, what Tom Homan is saying is 100% true. One of the things that pissed me off in the Biden years, when we exploded during the Biden years, this show, because everybody was looking for a vehicle to vent off their anger at this idiot, the White House. One of the things we were told in the Biden years is you can't control the border. You need new legislation. Tom Homan said, no, you don't. You just need a new president. Okay, where are the receipts for that? Right here. Here's the Immigration Nationality Act, section 212F. It's clear as day. The White House put it out the other day in a tweet. You can read it yourself. There it is, the White House, INA section 212F. Whenever the president, notice it doesn't say Congress, whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the US would be detrimental to the interests of the US, the president may by proclamation and for such period as the president shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions, he may deem to be appropriate. Justin, that sounds pretty straightforward to me. I thought the president couldn't do anything. I thought he couldn't do anything. You may say, Dan, I'm a P1 listener. You put this 212F up a lot. Yes, that's the point. I've always told you the story, not a story. The media tells you what story. Yeah, Biden couldn't do anything about the border. He had no power. Biden didn't know about INA 212F. Are you serious? Is he that stupid? Of course he did. He just didn't want to do anything about the border. Don't let the doomers bullshit you. We're two of five and we're only a quarter of the way to the presidency. Two of the five points already there. We're almost home. Here's Larry O'Connor. Larry's a friend of mine. We worked at WMAL together for a long time. Larry O'Connor's a pretty good host in his own right. Larry O'Connor talks about these two things and this is for the doomers too. Before we, everybody's ready to forfeit the midterms. We don't even have an answer to these two. These important two critical questions yet and you got a bunch of people out there blackpilling everyone. How? The variables for the math equation aren't even set yet. Here's Larry on two important things you need to pay attention to. Check this out. There's two elements of these midterms that everyone needs to just hold their breath and wait for before they make predictions on what's gonna happen. Number one, we still don't know what the math is gonna look like and what those districts look like. But number two, let the Democrats find their nominees because if they keep nominating people like this, that changes the equation for Republicans. Thank you, Larry O'Connor. We don't even know what the maps are gonna look like yet. There's redistricting now going on and talk of it in Tennessee, Louisiana. I don't wanna miss any. Alabama, Mississippi, then some of these places already had their primaries. Yes, the Republicans down there are moving so quick that they may go and retroactively do these primaries over again and redistrict the lines. Good, you wanna fight back? That's the way to go. Tell me nothing's happening. It is happening right now. And their candidates on the Democrats side are shit. You got a guy with a Nazi tattoo up in Maine. You got another guy going around and campaigning in Michigan with a dude talking about social murder. You got another one, Mallory McMorro in Michigan, running in Michigan talking about how Michiganders basically suck and Midwesterners are terrible. She loves California. Their slate of candidates are terrible. And when everybody's throwing in a dog, it's over, doom and going, oh no, no. I saw the same shit with COVID. Put your mask on. Ah, everyone's gonna die. No, not everyone's gonna die. Cut the shit. Stop, stop. You ever see the Michael Jordan Giffy? Stop, just stop. You ever see it? If you know Giffy's, I'm on Twitter all day on X. It's one of the best Giffy's. It's up there with the Mariah Carey, I don't know her. And flaming Elmo guy. If you're on Giffy's and you do Giffy's, you know exactly what I'm doing. Stop, just stop. You gotta find me that one. Do you know the one? Oh, there it is. Yes, thank you, Justin. This was not part of the show. That dude is fast. This is the Michael Jordan. Stop it, get some help. Dumers, stop it, get some help. We're bringing receipts. We're showing you that the stuff is happening. Here's a quick Fox report. We don't even know what the lines are yet. Republicans in the South are now like, good. Now we, that VRA Supreme Court case, we're gonna redistrict our maps too. Excellent, check this out. In a high stakes redistricting fight ahead of the midterms, President Donald Trump is urging Republican states to move quickly. Louisiana is delaying primaries for house races after the Supreme Court ruled its map unconstitutional since lawmakers used race while drawing a district. Now other red states are reacting to the ruling. Governors from Alabama and Mississippi scheduled a special session to discuss redistricting. Tennessee's governor told Trump he's open to redrawing, adding another Republican seat. Yes, yes, stop it, tumors. Get some help, stop it. You needed, we don't even know what's going on yet. Everybody's freaking out. Not only that, I say not only that. I told you, elections are about contrast. You can't just make it a referendum on your stuff. Hey, we're really great. Some people just don't like you. Some people just hate Republicans. That's a fact. Academia got to them, the media got to them. However, those people, if you just make it a referendum on you, oh, I'm great candidate A. Some people don't think you're great. You have to paint a contrast for the people who think you're not great and think you suck. You have to paint a contrast as to why candidate A from the Democrat Party sucks even worse. It's not the Democratic Party. There's nothing democratic about it. You understand the contrast. Do you get what I'm going where I'm going? This Mark Penn brought it up yesterday on the show in the clip we played. You cannot just say, I am the Republican candidate in Tennessee or elsewhere, I'm really great because of this. Good, a lot of Republicans are gonna buy that. A lot of independence. Democrats are probably gonna hate you. If you can convince the Democrats that their candidate sucks even worse, you got two things that could happen. One, they could stay home, which, listen, don't vote, you don't wanna vote, don't vote, fine. I don't care, I'd rather you not vote against me. Or you may even get some of them to vote for you like Donald Trump did. He was great at painting contrasts. Crooked Hillary, all this other stuff. But you can't only paint contrast. You have to build coalitions too. You have to go out there and grab subsets of people who were not traditionally part of your conservative movement, your liberal movement, whatever it may be. You have to grab subsets of people that are not natural allies and make them naturalized. That's why I cannot talk enough about this make America healthy again movement. Folks, I am knee deep in this. There's two things I passionately, passionately love. Economics, which is weird, I just, I don't know. I just like it, been talking about it forever. Who cares? Second, our health hacks. I was always into working out, but the cancer thing just scared me. Like it scares a lot of people. I'm five years now, I'm just obsessed with not getting dead. It scares you. There is a, this is an exploding movement in America and anything I can do to bring people into the fold. Liberals are like, body positivity, B.O.B., since no big deal, it is a big deal. You know why? You're gonna die. Don't die. Stop eating so much. It's gonna kill you. But I'm body positive. You're gonna be body positive in a casket. Stop. Just stop. Michael Jordan give me, just stop. It's true. Here's Bobby Kennedy in the Oval Office, our cabinet member, Secretary HHS, Bobby Kennedy on the obesity crisis, check this out. The presidency has presided over the worst public health crisis in history. We're now the sickest nation in the world. We've gone from 5% of our kids being obese to 20%, 70% of adults or obese or overweight, and 77% of our children cannot qualify for military service. And that should be an eye-opener for all of us. There's a don't get that emoji for the chat. Is this new? You guys are great in the chat. Pat McGroney, just stop being stupid. Folks, I'm sorry, we have to stop bullshitting people. We're living a world where no one wants to offend anybody. Don't tell people who eat too much that they could dive. Why would you not tell them that? Don't get that, light it up. Don't get that in the chat. Don't get that, tear it up. Only we can melt the chat down in this show. We have the audience to do it. I love melting chats down. I love when it stalls. We beat the technology. Stop getting dead. The Make America Healthy movement is exploding. There are all kinds of products out there and things you can change your life. You're never gonna change your life. There you go, tear it up in the chat. Don't get dead and stop listening to bullshitters that are trying to get you dead quicker. Everything's gonna be okay. It's not gonna freaking be okay. The quality of your life should matter. I don't like CNN clips on this stuff. However, this guest is pretty good. It's guy like Dave Aspire. Here he is talking about, it's not just the quantity of your life that matters. Do you wanna live till 90 and from 40 on, you're not even ambulatory. You can't move around. Your knees are busted. Your shoulders don't work. You can't think straight. You got advanced stage dementia. We're going through that right now. You don't want that shit. We've got someone we're taking care of now. You don't want that. Many of you are dealing with it now. Being obese and out of shape makes all this stuff worse. Cut the shit. Here's a CNN guest talking about how quality of your life should matter too. This is our coalition. We're the ones preaching real body positivity, which means getting shape. Check this out. If you're trying to extend your life because you're planning to not die, I hate to tell you something, the Earth's crust will crack into you at some point and the universe will collapse and on itself, we're all gonna die. The real game is how can I feel really good now and for as long as I choose until I'm done and not stress so much along the way? It's a big mistake that some longevity people or biohackers make is trying to do everything perfectly. The deal is more energy today equals more years later. So you focus on what's gonna give you the quickest results. You have more energy, so it's just not so hard anymore. Get a sleep tracker. And if something's working, your morning readiness score will be higher. So it's not in biohacking about doing what's supposed to work. It's about doing what actually works for your biology today. And if anything in the last 10 years has come out of this field, it's that there are no two identical humans. So your goals are different than your friends, your genetics are different than your friends and your brain is different than your friends. But here's the good news. Most decline is environmental. It's not genetic. Studies show about somewhere between 70 and 80% of how you age is environmental. And we can control our environment. That's the definition of biohacking. Change the environment around you so you feel the way you want. Somebody had people in the chat were like, I have glasses, I don't really care, I don't notice guy at all. I'm just telling you like, what he's saying is absolutely correct. I'm not telling you gotta go out, get a gym membership, become a power lifter tomorrow, become an Olympic triathlete. I, Dan Bongino, I'm not telling you that at all. I don't have a lot of time, I find time. Someone in the chat said, 10 air squats every hour. If you can start there, start there. We had Dr. Rondon, but I saw this clip she has found my fitness. That's her podcast, she's fantastic, she was on the show. Here's just a short clip. Here's where you start. If you can, your knees work, you check with your doctor, do all that stuff, it's only smart. Get a good checkup, get some blood work done. If you're healthy and good, get up once an hour and do 10 air squats. You don't need to be, you know, when Mr. Limpier like Lee Haney, you can just get up and move around a little bit. It makes a huge, listen to the numbers here in this clip. A huge difference in your life. Even little things like moving around. Not talking about Bulgarian split squats, just move. Check this out. I think that the data is clear and repeatable where individuals that are doing, you know, these short bursts of exercise, if they're doing three minutes of it, three minutes, bouts of it three times a day, so a total of nine minutes a day, that's a 50% lower cardiovascular related mortality, 50% lower cardiovascular related mortality, 40% lower all-cause mortality, 40% lower cancer related mortality, and this is even in individuals that don't define themselves or identify as people that actually exercise because they're like, no, I don't go to the gym. No, exercise, but they do exercise. They just don't realize that they're doing these moments. Right. You hear what I'm telling you? Or Dr. Ron is telling you, you don't have to be in there and engage in like, I gotta reach a four minute mile. You don't have to do that. Just move around and don't fall for the progressive, old school bullshit, body positivity, all that stuff. You wanna get body positive, go move around and work out. It is critical. Folks, this is how we build coalitions. That group is ours for the taking. They don't wanna be told by people, ah, none of this stuff, man, it does matter. It's your body, it's your temple, work with it. Folks, we have to walk and chew gum at the same time. I told you that. We have to pay contrast and we have to build coalitions that we're never gonna win elections again. And don't fall for the doomer bullshit either. There is so much good stuff happening. I told you I love health hacks and economics. You know why I care about economics? Cause I wanna make your wallet fatter. And there are incredible, incredible things going on right now, right now, that are gonna make your life and your wallet, the AI explosion is gonna be incredible. I'm not sure everyone understands the multipliers we're gonna be looking at for productivity in your life. Kevin Hassett, I'm gonna, I'm gonna a little out of order here, just a minute. Kevin Hassett, when it comes to economic advisors, what's on, this is a quick clip. He's not kidding here. He's talking about people investing and now it's Dow 50,000 and elsewhere. How I'm not sure you understand that this is like electricity, the steam engine and the industrial revolution all packaged into one. This is really important, you understand this. You are living through life changing technology. Check this out. They're seeing these earnings go up, but the earnings are actually an understatement of how good it is because those earnings, you know, subtracts the cost of the new investments, which are gonna give us even more earnings down the road. The bottom line is that there's an AI productivity boom, which is feeding through to an earnings boom and multiples aren't really that scary at all, even though the market skyrocketing. And so I think there's a lot more room for everything to go up. Dutch American girl says, Hubby and I are working out while watching you, Dan. Thank you, you and Hubs, both. Folks, he's not kidding. I see a couple of people in the chat. Tell me how it works. I can't tell you how it works. A lot of the labs can't tell you how it works. Yes, I'm concerned about potential downsides too, but ladies and gentlemen, the fact that an intelligence probably smarter than us can potentially cure cancer and do things like that. I'm not gonna be a doomer on it either. I'm gonna be logical, reasonable. We need guardrails. We gotta be very careful. We don't wind up in freaking terminator too. But let's be realistic here. This technology in just months is just doubling and tripling its own capacity. I wanna show you something else that broke yesterday too. That again, I saw almost nowhere in significant left-wing mainstream outlets that should make you really excited about the market, jobs, opportunity. It's just numbers, folks, receipts matter. Quick break, we'll get back to that. Hey, I've been asked this question many times. How can I help protect my family without taking a life? Well, let me tell you about a product I fell in love with early, Berna. I learned about it from a friend. I was happy when they joined the show as a sponsor because I already had a couple of these. I have a Berna, they sent me as well. They sent me one of the new ones. And let me tell you, I trusted Berna's less than lethal launcher. Fire is powerful, kinetic and chemical rounds. I can incapacitate an attacker for up to 30 minutes. My father has one too, he loves his. That could give you time to get away and call for help. Berna BYRNA, Berna's new compact launcher, love this one. It's about the size of a smartphone. It's easy to carry, easy to use. There's no background check required. The Berna CL fires at up to 400 feet per second with serious stopping power and was designed to help with de-escalation, not devastation. Berna's proudly American, assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. More than 750,000 Berna launchers are already in the hands of law enforcement and responsible citizens who want protection without tragedy. If you believe in being prepared and you also believe in restraint, this is an incredible option, check it out. Berna BYRNA is for you. Go to BYRNA, that's Berna.com and learn more. Berna.com, Berna.com, check it out. Take a look, thank you Berna. Here's another report that came out. This was on Fox yesterday. The ADP job numbers just surpassed expectations. Why would this matter? Because you don't have a job, you don't have any money to spend. This isn't complicated to understand, check this out. It was better than expected, Maria. We came on at 109,000 for ADP for the month of April. This is the highest number we've seen in 15 months for ADP. Well above the estimate, last month was only 62,000, so this is a strong number. This teased us up, obviously, for the Friday jobs report. Little bit of pullback on the market, as you can see here as this number crossed. But, look, March was a blowout. Job's number's good here. You want another one to fatten up your wallet? You want a big fat, juicy wallet, don't you? Fat, fat wallet, cheese, cash, that's what you want in there. Here's another report by Axios. No friend of President Trump in a MAGA agenda talking about corporate earnings exploding. What would I care about that for? Because a lot of people work for these companies. They don't have earnings, they can't hire more people. Corporate America, shrugging off economic uncertainty as earnings deliver. I don't know, I thought everything was terrible. I thought everything was doom and gloom. You want to go back to the Biden economy, or you want this economy under President Trump? Job number's up, earnings up, Dow 50,000. What do you want? There's a contrast out there. You pick A or B. There's no perfect choice. By the way, I am thoroughly enjoying what's going on in California. Why are we talking about California? Because ladies and gentlemen, I said to you yesterday that what changed the law enforcement narrative about, you know, racist cops hunting down unarmed black men was the body cam. If you missed yesterday's show, please go back and watch this segment. It is so worth your time. The body cam changed everything. All these stories you were told about, every time there was a white police officer and a black subject, every single time you'd have one of these groups come out and blame race. And then the body cam came out and you see all these photos and pictures of what happened and you're like, well, that doesn't look like it's race at all. It looks like a pretty legitimate use of force. California's become a political body cam for the nation. It has. The advent of clips and social media and TikTok, you can't hide anymore, man. People are walking around the Palisades fire and like, why aren't any homes being built here yet? People are walking around the streets of New York, you know, homeless people, street vendors, the fentanyl flop or fentanyl fold everywhere. And they're like, what the hell is this? You can't hide anymore, man. The body cam going on in California right now is priceless. You know, are the Democrats and the media are always accusing the right of evil racist replacement theory? I've already told you that's bullshit. That's the left thing. The left talks about it all the time. Producer seat stand, I got you, I got you. Here's Katie Porter running for governor in California. Absolutely hapless Democrat. She used to get out of my shot, lady. She was the yellow up on Capitol Hill. Here's Katie Porter admitting that the only way to keep the population of blue California stable because everybody's leaving it because it sucks the government there sucks. The only way to do it is illegal immigration. I thought that was racist replacement theory. It's not, it's the only way they roll. Check this out. Go ahead, Tom. It's the job of the California governor to protect every single Californian. The sanctuary state policy is designed to make sure that our state resources, the taxpayer dollars, the public servants that we have are focusing on doing their jobs, which is not cooperating with the federal immigration authorities. These are Californians, they contribute to our economy, they pay taxes and they're one of the only ways that our state has been growing in recent years. I thought that was racist. Guys, were we not told that? That we can replace them? We were told that, right? I thought of a replacement theory was, oh, there you go, the New York Times, and actually we can replace them. The famous Michelle Goldberg article we use all the time. Don't buy the bullshit. Replacement theory is their thing because it's not a theory. She's openly talking about it. People are leaving California because the government sucks and basically the only way we can replace the population is through illegal immigration. I thought that was racist. I thought that was racist. You see the political colonoscopy going on right now in California? We're all looking up there, we're like, I don't want to see that. That's what it is. The political body cam going on in California right now is glorious. And one of the guys who's leading the charge is this Spencer Pratt running for mayor. We played some of the videos. People are doing it, it's just amazing. He's in a debate with, I was at Nithya, Roman running for mayor, Roman, and Karen Bast, the incumbent, the Democrat. He's in a debate and I'm telling you, man, this guy, I don't know him. I have no personal attachment to him, zero. I'm just telling you, I love the political colonoscopy going on in California. Watching this guy with no political background at all, just like when Trump came in, shred these two idiots on the stage. We've been in politics basically that most of their adult life is just glorious. Watch this from a debate that just happened. Check this out. Bob acts like she doesn't have any authority with this homelessness. She was the third most powerful person in city council. She runs the homeless housing thing. She acts like this is just mayor best. First off, inside safe, I like to say inside safe makes all of us outside unsafe. The reality is no matter how many beds you give these people, they are on super meth. They are on fentanyl. The DEA statistics says 93% of this is a drug addiction problem. Nithya, Councilman Robbins plan for treatment first. I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her and we can find some of these people she's gonna offer treatment for. She's gonna get stabbed in the neck. These people do not want a bed. They want fentanyl or super meth. These ideas cost us over $400 million to house, 670, what did you say, 3,000 people for 400 million? This is absolute failure for both of them. They're a team. Folks, this guy has been the greatest political colonoscopy for California politics we've seen in a long time. I don't know how it's gonna turn out. I'm just telling you like, yes, this goes back there with the body positivity thing. Tell people who are obese, it's gonna be fine and everything's great. It's not great. Tell people who are addicted to super meth, it's gonna be fine. It's not gonna be fine. You're damn right. Some of these people are gonna stab you in the freaking neck. Some of them don't even want help. Some of them do not want help. Eight large overwhelming majority who are not interested in help. Stop bullshitting people. We're gonna get treatment that way. Yeah, good luck with that. He's like treatment, just clean the place up. Thank you. Yeah, that add. I mean, I caught Paula watching this like five times yesterday. I come downstairs, I hear. I'm like, are you watching my show from yesterday? She's like, yeah, this video that they put out that Charlie B. Curran video. What? I'm seeing she can't get enough of it. It's so good. Hey, I saw this clip yesterday. I got a couple more things I wanna get to you. Listen, I get asked a lot by, especially when I used to give speeches down for like turning point and things like that. A lot of young folks will come up to me and ask me for advice. I'm like, listen, I'm not the guy to ask for life advice. It screwed up a lot. I mean, I wrote a whole book about flops I made that I later turned into successes and I'm actually glad they happen. I wrote a book called The Gift of Failure because it can be a gift if you use it. If you use it the right way. But I do have one piece of advice for you and it's this. You know, and I'm not trying to be play-doh here or anything, but you have to chase opportunities. You have to collect them. But there's, forget luck folks. Luck is an illusion. You can make your own luck. If luck is a probability equation and you go out and take chances and do things others aren't willing to do. You take an extra class while your buddy's sitting on their ass, eating Doritos. You go out to some, you know, after hours event to mingle with business leaders while the other guys sitting home, you know, playing a video game, then you are gonna make your own luck because you're gonna meet someone who's gonna change your life. Listen to me. My entire life has been marked by opportunities that other people would attribute to luck. I don't. People told me I was crazy leaving my job running for office like Maryland, you have no chance. I'm like, I don't know where it's gonna go. Good news, bad news, I don't know. Figure it out in the end, but I'm gonna take a shot. Collect as many opportunities, but don't chase trains. I got that from the book, The Black Swan. I told you about it before. The train leaves at 8.15 and you're there at 8.16. You effed up. You're gonna collect those opportunities, go and do them, but don't chase the trains. I saw this clip on Joe Rogan's show. It was Kevin Hart, the comedian. There's a couple of things about this. Number one, a lot of people were ribbing him because he thinks like an 800, 900 SAT score is good. Okay, outside, I get past that for a second. This is just really, really good stuff. It's great advice. He's talking about how he was supposed to go to Great Adventure, which has six flags, Adventure Park in New Jersey, I remember going to as a kid. And he didn't want to study for the SAT, so he never enjoyed the experience because he bombed it. While all the people who had done the prep work got to enjoy it. You collect opportunities, don't chase trains. Live your life as well, have a good time, but earn, as I say to people, earn your weekends. Bust your ass Monday through Friday. That way you can have a good time on weekends and earn to check this out. People that I went and rushed to go to Great Adventure with, they had taken an SAT the week before. They already got their work done. They did everything they were supposed to do, so that moment of fun was real fun for them. I was the only dumb ass that didn't prioritize and take care of my shit. So I'm the only one going to community college. Everybody else off the Villanova, Temple University, Drexel University, god damn, I just got left behind. Why didn't y'all tell me that y'all did it the week before? How come y'all ain't tell me that we was serious about the college shit? Y'all ain't tell me y'all was trying to go to Temple or Drexel, oh wait. It's because my life isn't their life. They're focused on themselves. Wow, they're doing what they're supposed to do. Hey jackass, go sit by yourself and figure it out because this is where you should be. Lesson learned, any opportunity given should be taken serious from this point on. Because if not, you can find yourself feeling just like this. So I gotta get down on myself for the fucking moment. I learned from it. I learned from it. Now, if I gotta take a god damn test, you best believe I'm studying for that fucking test because I don't want the feeling like I'm the guy that didn't prepare. Now I got a story to tell my kids about what it feels like to be the kid in class that didn't prepare, that's got the words grade when they give all those grades back. But it's because of my experience. I don't look down on those moments. You take those moments, you make the best of them because they're life lessons. It's that simple. Hey man, I don't gotta subscribe to the guys, politics, worldview, whatever. I hear this stuff, I put it out there because it's absolutely true, he's video of the day. Collect opportunities. But you hear what he's saying? Don't chase trains though. You get an opportunity, prepare for it. Don't just collect the opportunity just to collect it. Collect it and prepare for it. If you have a test, prepare for the damn test. You have a speech, prepare for the damn speech. You wanna talk about a guy who collected opportunities throughout his life, throughout his life despite unimaginable obstacles, institutional racism, Jim Crow, this guy's the goat. Who, Kevin Hart? No, not Kevin Hart. Talk about a guy who collected opportunities. When I talk about the goat, I'm talking about Clarence Thomas. I saw this clip running around on X yesterday. He's talking about growing up in De Jure and de facto racism all around, where he was told probably by people in society wouldn't amount to anything or an amount to nothing. He's now the most, I think, prominent conservative, judicial Supreme Court justice, most important we've had in our time. He is in my mind the greatest of all time. I love Clarence Thomas. I got so much man panion for this guy. Here he is just quickly talking about what it was like growing up and his parents with getting to school for him and his brother. This is what it looks like to collect opportunities, even when some of those opportunities are trying to kick you in the face. Check this out. Remember now, I'm seven years old. My brother's six and he says to us, you are gonna go to school every day and if you are sick, you're still going. And if you die, you will go, I will take your body for three days to make sure you're not faking. And he met him. I mean, the thing about it is, it's one thing if somebody says it and you think they're exaggerating, he wasn't that kind of guy. The Catholic schools were very orderly. My brother used to say, when you walked in there, you could hear a nap tiptoeing across cotton. It was segregated. The nuns didn't much appreciate the fact that blacks were treated that way. They were mostly Irish nuns and they were outspoken to, oh God, I love it. They were on our side from day one. Man, I love this guy. You imagine what it's like growing up black in the South back then, being told that you're just structurally inferior to other people because of the melanin in your skin. It's so unimaginable now. Folks, I got news for you. Axiomatically, obviously you just heard, this is our generation, like this happened in our time. Well, not if you're younger, but Clarence Thomas is still alive. He's talking about it. So it's not 700 years ago in like medieval times. This happened. This happened to him. It's really sad that he has to say at the end, the Irish nuns were on our side. You know what the saddest part is? That there was a side based on melanin in your skin. That was a side? Yeah, it was a side. Imagine being told like, you gotta sit in the back of that bus or drink out of that water fountain. Why? Yeah, cause you're black. Imagine like that was just the way people lived. If there was ever an excuse, and I can't imagine, I can't imagine that. Thank the Lord, I can't imagine that. But imagine being told every day that you are so inferior to people who are white or basically any other race that substandard conditions separate but unequal war for you. You go sit in the back of that class, back of the bus. You're not allowed to sit at the counter in a restaurant. And then still saying to yourself, despite being told that every day by people around you, you know what? One day I'm gonna kick some ass and take some names. I'm gonna be a Supreme Court justice. And then imagine complaining about your situation today. Man, I screwed up the test mom because the cafeteria, you know, ran out of chicken tenders. So I really couldn't cut it. And I asked the teacher for like, can you imagine that? This guy grows up in the segregated South. He's the most important Supreme Court justice of our time. And you're bitching about chicken nuggets running out in the school cafeteria. Get off your ass and get the job done. You're whining because your cell phone battery ran out. I can't believe it. Can't handle the stress. Get me a Xanax. No, get the Xanax grown up a couple. Go have a chat with Clarence Thomas. Ask him what it was like. Don't baby your kids. Stop telling people or a die-in because they're OBA. It's okay. Stop telling your kids their cell phone battery runs out that we should coddle them. Oh, come here, Johnny. Let me rub the back of your head. No, no, shut up and figure it out. Go talk to your friends. That's the goat, man. Love that guy. And I'm proud to be part of a conservative and Republican movement that embraces Justice Clarence Thomas as one of our own. And you Democrats attacking him, you're just attacking him because you're envious. Just like I said before, you're just jelly as the kids say, that you're not him and you're a loser. That's why, and he's not. Wow, that was a lot of show today. Guy, you like that one? He was a big fan of today's show. And I told you, Guy, it's favorite show of the week. Wow, it's the one more to go. Guy's like a compliments, like manhole covers guy. Make sure you tune in to Haley. We rain Crowder next. We like Steve's command. Haley at noon, rumble.com slash Haley.
