All right, Joe, let's go. Let's go, homie. Here we go. Big Monday show. As always, a lot to talk about over the weekend. So briefly, before I get to the topic

du jour you know um on sundays i go to a local church here it's a great church led by a really great pastor and i pull into the parking lot it's a rather big it's you know i used to i lived up in new york where parking lots are tiny because real estate's so expensive well you know down here in florida and the parking lots are really huge in a lot of these places because there's just a lot of available land, right? So I pull into this big, expansive parking lot in the church, and I notice immediately there's two deputies there, two vehicles from the sheriff's department and two deputies there. And they're blocking off some spots, and I'm thinking, what's up? Something must have happened. So I drive. I see one of them. I pull into the spot. there and they're blocking off some spots and i'm thinking what's up something must have happened so

uh i'm i driver i see one of the by pulling a spot i see one of these people sitting by their car and i walk by and uh i said hey what happened i said five cars were broken into they must have used a window punch stole pocketbooks bags uh everything out of people's cars, toolkits, whatever. I mean, keep in mind, Joe, this is, I pull in the lot at 10.15 in the morning, not at night. This is a church where the parking lot faces a main road. It's not even like a parking lot in the middle of nowhere where you're in this spot at an airport all the way back. That's not it. This is a parking lot where it's exposed to the main road, five cars, not just one. So they clearly must have taken their time in

doing this. This poor woman I see, or she's crying, older woman, she's crying. And the husband recognizes me and comes over and is talking. And this the wife is crying and you know i haven't seen that in a long time i just remember being a police officer when you would respond to scenes like that 15 20 times a day on a busy friday night and eventually folks i hate to say it but you almost become you always feel bad for people but you you become almost immune to it after a while you have to do your job or else you'll just collapse yourself. But I haven't seen that in a while. I wasn't the responding deputy.

I was just a guy going to church. And it really hurt me. And it reminded me of, you know, I mean, how evil. That's, again, that's the existence of genuine evil right there. Do you have to be to pray on a bunch of church going people on a Sunday in mid morning in front of a bunch of traffic out there to go out and just steal from people? We are dealing with an emptiness so profound that the only way to fight it is going to be through an organized generational effort and to recognize that it's not going anywhere. What's the problem? I think we keep pretending some pretending some not all of us that this evil is going to go away and that oh my gosh if we

didn't win this last election we all got to give up no this fight's never going to stop we could win the next 20 presidential elections and you know what 21 that 21 the 21st one we lost this thing could turn around like that what made the disparity of what happened to me going into a church and watching these evil sons of bitches in the parking lot, right? Steal all this stuff from these people's cars, right? As we go into church and the homilies given by a deacon who runs a prison ministry. And I got to tell you, it was hard to listen to. He was right. He was saying, I know it's a bad time. None of you want to hear about speaking to criminals after having cars broken into in the parking lot,

but he's correct. It's up to us to understand and to try to redeem the sinner. But, but they must pay for the sin first. We can redeem them from the prison they belong in. Folks, it takes a genuinely evil person to do that. It ripped the heart right out of me. I was thinking about it the entire time in church.

And we have a great sheriff down here. He's all over the case, but it was hard to watch, which was fascinating because over the weekend, I was reading this, I mean, imperfect, perfect timing, if you know what I mean. This Wall Street Journal op-ed about J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series. And it's called J.R.R. Tolkien's Lessons About Evil in Our Time. He's talking about how he used fiction. This obviously created fairy tale, The Shire and The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbits.

And he talks about how he used all these to speak to larger human narratives about evil and how he wrote them around the time with the growth of fascism through Nazi Germany. He says less than a year later, Britain was at war with Nazi Germany, its policy of

appeasement and tatters. As Gandalf the Wizard from Tolkien's obviously series explains to Frodo Baggins, the hobbit there, says always after a defeat and a respite, the shadow takes another shape and grows again. Whereas Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell intones, and the elves deemed that evil was ended forever. And it was not so. Folks, this is never going to disappear. I bring it up, and not to try to wax philosophic, I'm not Plato here, but to explain to you the practical nature of what he's saying. I get this a lot on my communications. I leave my Facebook page open for messages on the back end, and I get a lot from people when I have to read a disappointing story about cheating in elections, about Democrats stealing people's money, about January 6th,

people being thrown in jail for trespassing while a bunch of people show up at the Supreme Court this morning and tell the government, we're just going to shut down these streets and nothing so far has happened to them. And they say something like, hey, listen, I'm ready to give up. It's not fair. I can't explain to you how poor. I don't want to sound like I'm insulting anyone because I understand your frustration. The left is relying on you to say that. Genuinely evil people in this world, which the radical far left is there's no doubt i just watch a bunch of videos of a drag parade a bunch of naked people like trying to groom kids and it's disgusting come on they are hoping you give up they are hoping that you like the the hobbits

in the shire just pretend the world out there doesn't exist and you can separate yourself from it. You can't do that. You can try to avoid politics, but what did he say? Politics will never avoid you. They want you to disengage. They want you to disengage. The whole purpose of this show has been an eager plea on bended knee to get you to re-engage no matter how bad it gets because the evil will never disappear. Folks, evil hates. That's one of the essences of evil. Hate, not dislike, but hate. Here's a picture. I told you they were going to need a new enemy after the road decision comes down, which may happen today.

We're not sure. But there are already left-wing lunatics in front of the Supreme Court with what looks like an insurrection of me, folks, threatening to break the law because they don't like a political decision. Sounds like, by the left's definition, sounds like an insurrection. They need a new enemy. And I told you during last week's show, one of the most important shows we did in a long time, how the left now is going to move from identity politics focused on race

to identity politics focused on race and religion. Here, producer Jim, just over the weekend, the new enemy, folks, air quotes, is going to be the white Christian national. Here's the screenshot Jim did over the weekend. He said, now I see it everywhere. White Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy. New York Magazine, MSNBC. White Christian nationalism is suddenly at the weekend. He said, now I see it everywhere. White Christian nationalism is a threat to democracy. New York Magazine. MSNBC.

White Christian nationalism is suddenly at the forefront. Because you idiots are telling people it's at the forefront. Washington Post. With the Buffalo Massacre, white Christian nationalism strikes again. Time. Time to stop giving Christianity a pass on white supremacy. Here we go, folks. The church parking lot. You have a homily inside with a

deacon preaching forgiveness and empathy for the criminal. That is us, conservatives and libertarians. Penalties matter. You should be punished, but we believe in the power of redemption. Then you have the far leftists in the parking lot defund the police characters, supporting the criminals so there's no police to stop them from breaking into cars at church. That's the evil that is not going to go away. Lives could be saved by this Roe reversal today if it happens. If it's announced today at the Supreme Court, lives could be saved. And the left is furious because evil loves nothing more than hatred and death.

Here, you want to see what this looks like in person senator chris coons was on a uh the fox was on a excuse me i said was it cnn this weekend oh it was it was fox i was right the first time he was interviewing with brett bear senator chris coons a democrat he pretends well. He pretends he cares about the people whose cars were broken in a parking lot and all that stuff. He pretends he cares about he poses as a moderate Senator Chris Coons and Republican suckers fall into this trap all the time. Oh, he's one of the reasonable ones. We should work against him. Really? He's asked a pretty simple question by Brett Baer. It is illegal to go and protest in front of officers of the court,

including judges, their homes. It is illegal to do that. Yet it's happening right now, even after an assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh, a Supreme Court justice. This is an easy call, folks. Easy call. You broke the law. We have the law for a reason. I'm a legislator. Those people should be punished. He can't say it. Because evil can't call out evil. It has to hide evil. Here, check it out.

Listen for yourself. Senator, we're getting ready for this ruling. And it's going to be controversial no matter what happens. If it matches the draft, leaked draft opinion or not. There is this law on the books. I'm just asking, should they follow the law? Should the attorney general say, yes, arrest those people before something happens? Well, Brad, I think if the leaked version of the opinion is matched by what would be a remarkable

act of judicial activism, conservative judicial activism, there will be understandable anger across the nation. As an elected official, I've certainly had protests out front of my house. Many of us have who serve in Congress or in other elected offices. But we need to make sure that all appropriate actions are being taken to ensure the safety of members of our federal judiciary, including Supreme Court justice. The anger is understandable, folks. And notice the the false comparison he does here. There have been protests in front of my house. You're an elected official. You're an elected official passing laws. By the way, I don't recommend people protest in front of anyone's house. I just don't. I think it doesn't work well. I think it obviously leads to

the potential for danger. There are enough places to protest where you can get enough PR, okay? Chris Coons can't say that because he's an unprincipled, genuinely awful human being. You just had a guy, Brett Kavanaugh, who could have been killed. A guy showed up with a gun and torture equipment at his home. And he can't say it. He has to justify it by saying the anger is understandable. Notice how any, any left-wing anger, the BLM riots, Antifa riots, it's always excusable. But right-wing anger at an election where shenanigans hit around every corner,

that's not understandable anger at all. FBI, get on those people. Do you see this? You see how justice is only blind to Democrats? No constitutional republic can survive like this. These people have no dignity or principles on the other side. He's an elected official. Judges are not elected officials. Imagine where this is going to go if we're now going to incentivize lawbreaking in front of judges' houses. Imagine you're a business executive and you have a lot of money and you're involved in a legal proceeding. Can you now pay a bunch of protesters like the left is doing to protest this road decision? Can you pay a bunch of protesters to go boycott and picket the judge in your case's kids' school,

the kid's school and house where they live? Why not? Maybe that's why, Joe, we have a law against that. Because maybe it's a really bad idea and could interfere in the nonpartisan administration of justice. Just a thought, folks. Now, it gets worse. And I use Coons for a very specific reason it's not an accident because you got these people in the republican swamp who fail to see evil for what it is and want to find some good in these people they ignore their actions they ignore their words

and oh my gosh this is he's a moderate, down the middle guy. You know, Chris Coons, he's one of us. He's not one of you. A guy was nearly assassinated. And people are still breaking the law in front of his house. And Coons not only can't call it out, he apologizes for it. That is evil. It's not just wrong.

It's not just not okay. That's evil. Call it what it is. And this drives the left crazy when I do shows like this. Insane. Because there is nothing these evil leftist goons hate more than when you stick a mirror in front of their face. They hate it. Here's Coons again. Threats now, like Chuck Schumer made. You have unleashed the whirlwind and you will pay the price. Directed directly at two Supreme Court justices he named. It wasn't a wink and a nod.

It was a direct threat. Easy call for Chris Coons. You know what? I get it. wink and a nod. It was a direct threat. Easy call for Chris Coons. You know what? I get it. You're a politician, Coons. You're a genuinely awful guy, understand? I get it. Maybe you need to water it down.

Joe, maybe he says something like, you know what? I bet Senator Schumer wishes he would have worded that different. All right. You know, it didn't work out right. I mean, you should take a stand to be principled, but I get it. You're a politician. You're a loser, so you're going to do loser stuff. Can't even

say that. He's like, well, you know, Chuck Schumer, he's just trying to let people, everybody's just angry. You see the excuses. You're watching genuinely evil people here, folks. Check this out. I want to tell you, Gors this out i want to tell you for such i want to tell you cavanaugh you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price

you won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions on the steps of the supreme Court, did those words qualify, Senator? So here's a key distinction. What Senator Schumer was saying was that he was upset, he was alarmed, he was concerned at the prospect that justices would reverse decades

of a well-established fundamental constitutional right in our country. What he did not say was, let's go attack them. That's funny because either did Donald Trump. So, again, you're looking at genuine evil and call it out. Don't back down. And we said, I could. You know who didn't say directly go and attack them donald trump he didn't say that either

matter of fact donald trump on january 6th joe we've only played the cut what 20 times said it's time to go mars march peacefully and patriotically peacefully and patriotic that's a direct quote by the way schumer said you won't know what he. Schumer said you won't know what hit you. You won't know what hit you. You reap the whirlwind. Thank you. And you will pay the price. And he names them personally.

Yes. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. So a direct threat, Chris Coons, he's a nice guy, is totally understandable because he's angry. Donald Trump, who has more than valid concerns about a fleeced election, who says March peacefully and patriotically

should go to jail for inciting a riot. It's not an excuse to give up. Please don't send me a message how you're ready to give up because there's no giving up. Don't be the hobbit. Don't be Frodo Baggins. Oh, we're safe here in the Shire.

You're not safe in the Shire. There's a world outside the Shire. And that evil isn't going anywhere. And it's our job to go and take it on. I'm sorry, I'm not lecturing. I don't mean to sound that way. I get frustrated too. But gosh, that thing I saw in the church parking lot this weekend was a wake-up call

i know it was just a larceny it wasn't thankfully any kind of a violent crime but i haven't seen it in a long time it was tears and that just that i don't know it's that pain in people's faces they feel so violated woman's bag was stolen she had her license her pictures in there she was an older woman she was telling me how she had the pictures and the thing you know these keep remembering wallets they don't even know they have phones but remember joe in the day you'd have the picture thing in your wallet before they had all these yeah sure watch that personal violation thank god we got a good sheriff down here who understands evil's real it's here with us now God, we got a good sheriff down here who understands evil's real.

It's here with us now. Job isn't to hole up in the shire. It's to get out there in the world and take it on. That's our job. Now, you can expect the left, obviously, to not only not call evil out, but to promote it like you see Coons doing. Also, you can expect the left to double down on calls of censorship. I'm going to get to that in a second, too, which they're doing right now. Why? Because not only do they want to continue the evil, they want to make sure people who call it out like me and others are silenced. Take a break here for a second. Get to our second sponsor.

Again, expect the calls for draconian speech censorship from the left because they are

evil. Call it as it is. Speak truth. Always, always engage the reaction of the left to shows like this and you calling out evil as a metric of your own success in indicating, pointing out and highlighting evil. It's only when you're over the target that they panic. I've noticed this. I put out a tweet this weekend and a truth and a parlor post and a locals post about this very same thing and the left lost their minds because they hate a mirror here look at this washington examiner

so biden's got a climate czar gina mccarthy real organized government power this woman has paul bedard writes climate fear ripped for urging censorship of Biden critics. Ladies and gentlemen, keep that up. They're not hiding it anymore. These are government officials, Joe, who have First Amendment obligations to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Last time I checked, the First Amendment was part of that. They are not hiding it. the first amendment was part of that they are not hiding it they're flipping the double-barreled family-friendly middle finger to the first amendment and openly calling for censorship

they want to censor climate talk covid talk gender talk public safety talk here in an axios virtual interview gina mccarthy said quote the tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation. We need the tech companies to really jump in. They're not hiding it anymore. Gina McCarthy, the climate fuhrer here, using her government authority to call for private companies to censor people. This is an organized effort to stop you from seeing the evil that's out there. Here's Obama giving a speech where, again, he just comes right out with it. He's not hiding it anymore, saying, you know what?

It's really time. It's really time for us to shut these other people down. Speech censorship is back on the left. They love it. Which again, is a hallmark. It is the first chapter of every book of evil is censoring people who call out evil. Here, check this out. We have to take steps to detoxify our discourse.

We have to take steps to detoxify our discourse, particularly the scourge of disinformation and conspiracy theories and hate online that has polluted our political discourse. You believe this buffoon? I got to tell you, I don't know if I should say this, but maybe I should because I don't think I should say it and I shouldn't self-censor anything. I'm embarrassed to have worked with this guy. I mean, obviously it was in a law enforcement function and protecting the constitution in the United States means we protect these people. And I'm glad nothing happened to him while I was there. My work really mattered to me. But really, I'm almost embarrassed I didn't leave sooner. I left two years in to this guy's administration. And I got to tell you, I'm just horrified. The disdain of this guy being anywhere near me. Let me tell you who Obama, I haven't told you this before.

Let me tell you who he is. This guy's the biggest phony you have ever seen. To all the lefties out there, I'm going to tell you who he is this guy's the biggest phony you have ever seen to all the lefties out there i'm going to tell you something about obama because i'm so disgusted the direction of this country and something's got to change and it's time to the old rules have to go out the window so i'm throwing some old rules out this guy's the biggest fraud you've ever seen the biggest phony you have ever seen he would be at events and stuff backstage talking about these civil rights hustlers calling them like clowns and phonies and fakes and in the minute he needed political help to al sharpton and him he invited him to the white house

and and folks listen please please to the liberals who are in the obama white house you know what i'm saying is true so please stop the dan pfeiffer's and the others please please stop you know it's true you were there don't don't humiliate yourself please now that may upset some concern to say what you mean obama it was a was a little less crazy behind the scenes. He may have been less crazy, but he's an even bigger phony. You get the point? The point I'm trying to make is that Obama's less crazy. It's that he's an enormous fraud. Obama, the same guy who was a civil rights hustler.

Now, now, the same guy whose administration weaponized their government to push the pee-pee tape hoax to help Mrs. Clinton get elected. It's as the balls to talk about disinformation online and banning his political opponents. Folks, this guy's the biggest fake you have ever seen. The biggest fake you have ever seen. And it's not just me who knows it. That's who Obama really is. Of course, folks, all of this is so incredibly frustrating how the left just does this dipsy-do flip-a-roo,

right? And does a 180 on everything. They blame you for disinformation while spreading disinformation. They need to shut you down. They openly advocate for evil while calling us istaphobic, phobophobic, phobophobes, hobophobes, transphobes, misogynistic, phobophobic, racist. This is them. This is them on the other side. You guys are racist. We are.

We want to judge people by their character. We want everyone to have their God-given rights respected. You're teaching kids that they're the white oppressor in school. Sounds kind of like racism to me. It's definitely you guys. Flip a a roo it's so incredibly frustrating because we know what works and watching that situation in the church parking lot this week and again i don't want to keep bringing up but it's important i imbue uh real life into this show so it doesn't just seem like some

esoteric kind of otherworldly rant all the time. There are real things happening to real people. And the situation this weekend happens every minute in San Francisco and liberal areas where, God forbid, you leave a nickel in your car. Some idiot comes and breaks the window out and steals it. We know there's another way. We know what works. We know it. Now, we're seeing this down here in Florida. Where, yeah, the evil never goes away.

We're going to have issues with crime. Some of the schools down here need some fixing up. Education down here hasn't always been a priority. Decades ago, it was a largely retired area. But I want to make the point to you now, kind of turning it around that even though we had these break-ins here this week and we have a really good share of our crime here is still relatively low because we know what works. And you know what works? A focus on economic freedom, public safety. By economic freedom, I mean real things. Low taxes. I don't mean like campaigns say, you're going to have freedom. I mean real things. Low business taxes, low transaction costs, low regulations, reasonable regulations, right?

School choice, which we have a healthy degree of in Florida. So schools have been getting better. We know what works. How do we know it works? Florida is running a surplus, yet our tax rate is low. We spend less money, though having far less money than New York, despite having a comparable population, yet our roads are far nicer. Our public safety and our crime rates are far better controlled. And the only metric that really matters in the end is people are moving down to Florida in droves while moving out of your crap liberal states. And when you ask them why, one of the primary reasons is because of your liberal crap, safety and the economy. Here's Ron DeSantis talking about this very fact this weekend, how people just keep, we know what we're doing down here and the federal government keeps screwing it up.

Check this out. You know, Florida, we're getting the policy right. You know, you look at our big budget surplus, our tax relief, all these great things. But then to have the feds come in with these policies, you know, it's really, really disappointing. So our job, protect against Biden inflation, protect against Biden's policies and making sure Florida is not diverted off course. So we're going to continue plowing ahead and we're going to continue to be making the right decisions. So the good news, folks, even in the face of evil that happened this weekend here in Florida, when you get someone

in charge like DeSantis and the sheriff in my county, they're going to go find those people. We're never going to get rid of evil. Cars are always going to be broken into. There's always going to be some degree of unemployment. There's always going to be businesses that close because they have a bad business model. But when you have a good framework that recognizes what works and doubles down on it, people will come. They will come down here and move in droves. And this isn't field of dreams. This is a real world. This is the field of reality. Just wish the liberals wouldn't come down here too. Wish you'd stay up in New York and stop ruining the place. Conservatives, we got a lot of conservatives moving down. All right, let me get

to my next sponsor. I want to show you again how we have a problem right in front of us. And again, it's evil. It's the real thing. It is evil. The bankrupt thing in the United States that is going to plunge hundreds of millions of people into depravity, into poverty in the future. It's going to plunge them into a way where they're deprived of actual resources and nobody cares on the left. They're doubling down. I'll get to that in a second i'll be simple facts folks they matter so how do i know we're in the right and that we are going to continue to call out genuine evil and forcing poverty forcing poverty potential starvation and economic distress on hundreds of millions of people in the united states because you have a concentration of power issue and you want to push collectivism and lying to them about it is really horrible.

How do we know what works? Because folks, there is record tax revenue going on right now. How do we know that? Terrence P. Jeffrey at CNS News does an exhaustive amount of homework on the federal budget. Subscribe to this guy's writing. It's terrific. Look, here are the numbers. Now, why do I say we're calling it evil? Because the Democrats are lying to you. Guys, have they not told everyone how we have a taxing problem?

They have, right? Joe Biden's saying it right now. We got a tax problem. Evil billionaires are getting over. Nobody's paying their taxes. We got to have their fair share. We need more taxes. You'd say record tax revenue set through May, through eight months of the fiscal year, 3.374 trillion, 629 billion. They don't even get to the hundreds of millions. They just round that off. It's all all zeros now listen to what i'm telling you

even inflation adjusted we have never in american history taxed our citizens more we're not even through the end of the fiscal year and we are at 3.3 trillion dollars in taxes taken out of the economy yet the left tells you we have a taxing problem. It's not spending. That's not the issue. How the hell do we have a taxing problem when we have never taken more money from our citizens ever? And yet they want to spend more money. And there's always a scam because the thing about people of the lie, as Scott Peck calls them in his book, a Harvard trained psychologist used to call out the sociopaths. They are the people of the lie, as Scott Peck calls them in his book, that's our Harvard-trained psychologist who used to call out these sociopaths. They are the people of the lie, the left.

Great book, by the way. We got a taxing problem. We don't have a taxing problem. The taxing problem is we tax too much. Number two, we have a spending problem, and there's always a scam to spend more. Scam number one, you don't tax our people enough. They want to take more to spend more. We do.

We're taxing with record numbers. Scam number two, did you read about this? Did you guys notice that the federal government was still in a state of emergency over COVID? Yeah. Now, I've been holding this story for a while, but this came out this past week I thought now's the time to launch this. Why are we in this permanent pandemic, Joe? I mean, listen, COVID is obviously going to be a generational problem. It's not going anywhere. Everybody clear on that? But we have therapeutics, medications. We know a lot more about it. There's been science on it. Is it a threat? Obviously. Is it the deadly threat it was

immediately? We had no treatments we had no idea the R and R of the fatality rate it's not so why are we in this permanent pandemic stage because there's always a scam for the government to take and spend more of your money always journal calls it out right here they want to extend the official emergency to mid-October, the Biden administration, on COVID, folks. Again, to mid-October. We're in June. The Urban Institute projects that the extension will add, oh, here's why, an additional 1.4 million ineligibles to the Medicaid rolls at a cost of $36.5 billion to the federal government, meaning to you. A total of $15.8 billion will have to be disenrolled when the official emergency ends.

Always a scam, ladies and gents. So, Democrats hate the idea of having a free market health system in this country. They want the government to take over healthcare. Why? So they can ration your care and tell you to go yourself, right? So what better way to get more people on Medicaid than to declare a COVID emergency, tell the states, put these people on Medicaid, we'll pay more, but you can never kick them off as long as the emergency is extended and then keep extending the emergency.

So more and more people pile into Medicaid, costing you more and more money, which is going to shut down eventually a lot of these private insurers who can't compete with these taxpayer dollars given to people who may not even be eligible, but you can't kick them off. There is nothing they will, you think they're telling you the truth about why they're extending this emergency? It has nothing to do with the emergency and everything to do with lying to you, spending more money, and using it as an excuse to tax more of you later. Speak the truth.

Always speak the truth, no matter what. Folks, our economic situation, you know, Justin's back again this week. When do you leave? Oh, good. So you'll be with us a while. Sorry, I should have asked him. He's been here for a while. But Justin's boys enjoy having him. And, and you know him and gee are younger than me justin's the

youngest of the crew joe's the senior member of the crew and uh joe's the veteran of the bunch and uh you know i remember different times growing up i'm not going to tell you i grew up in the harshest of times. I didn't. I believe, you know, the prior generations had it a lot worse than us. But I said to Justin this morning, you better get ready because your generation, which wasted a lot of time focusing on critical race theory and identity politics, he's a smart kid, but some of them surrounding him haven't woken up yet.

Woke's going to mean a completely different thing when you get kicked right in the nuts folks because i'm telling you kids young men and women it's coming remember this show monday what is it june 13th remember this show thank you fox news economist muhammad elarian most current inflation could have been avoided if Fed acted earlier. El-Aryan says he fears inflation may reach 9%. 9% flagged the show, folks. My prediction, it breaks double digits and starts creeping up higher and higher and higher. What happens when it creeps up to double digits?

Folks, the only times we have ever reasonably stopped an inflationary crisis is when we raised interest rates higher than the inflation rates. Why? Because folks, no one's going to invest money at an interest rate of 9% if the inflation rate is 12%. Why? Because you're losing 3% of your money. When you raise the interest rate higher, people start pouring money back in banks,

making it more available. Eventually, you start to sink the inflation rate. We're in real trouble. There is a recession coming, and I think it's going to be a very bad one. And I don't think it's even that far off. You better start fortifying your financial situation right now. Here's Larry Summers, again, Democrat, former Clinton Treasury Secretary, warning people who nailed the inflation crisis. A Democrat, I use him for a reason, folks, because anything I say out there that I put out there from a Republican lawmaker or talking head, even if it's grounded in fact, the libs that listen to this show just disregard it because it's a Republican. This guy was Clinton's Treasury Secretary. He was on CNN this weekend warning again the signs.

You see my Fox monologue speaking about signs? The signs are right there. We are looking at a massive recession. Double digit employment, double digit interest rates. It's going to get ugly out there. Here, check this out. Secretary Yellen, who has the job you once had, said this week that, quote, there is nothing to suggest a recession is in the works. Do you agree with that? No, I don't. You think a recession is in the works? I think that when I think when inflation

is as high as it is right now and unemployment is as low as it is right now, it's almost always been followed within two years by inflation, by by recession. I look at what's happening in the stock and bond markets. I look at where consumer sentiment is. I think there's certainly a risk of recession in the next year. And I think given where we've gotten to, it's more likely than not that we'll have a recession within the next two years. Folks, speak the truth. I don't like Larry Summers' politics. A lot of his policy prescriptions are ridiculous. But I respect him for speaking the truth to power, even in his own party. Start paying down some of your debt now. Get your financial house in order. It does me no

good on the show to say, I get this a lot. Dan, you know, sometimes I have to stop listening. The news is bad. I can't control that. I'm not going to lie to you here. It's not my job. My job isn't here to make money. The fact that the show makes money is nice, but that's not the point. That's not the point. I'm a capitalist like anyone else.

I have to pay for this operation, but that was never the point of the show. Matter of fact, Joe, no one embarrassing. Joe worked for free for the first year of the show. Newton even take any money because he believed in what we're doing. We had no sponsors for what? Two years, nothing easily.

That was never the point of this. The proof is in the pudding that it makes money. Now is terrific. That's not the point. The point is to speak truth and to prepare you for what's coming. It's not to lie, to lie to your face for views or clicks or dollars or anything else, for political clout. Bad times are coming, but you can make them less bad times by fortifying and cleaning

up your house now. I'm going to show you what by fortifying and cleaning up your house. Now I'm going to show you what liars look like coming up. Just next Joe Biden just lied to your face and how living in this world of the Shire, man, where you ignore the evil outside. It's probably lovely until everyone comes rampaging through and your world turns over like that. Biden lied right to your face this past week. Let me get to my last sponsor first. MyPillow.

looks like when Larry Summers just told the truth. Here is Biden, despite the numbers, saying something so completely contrary to this man's just unrepentant lying. Here's Joe Biden saying, don't worry, folks. Inflation is not that bad. I mean, you're much better off. Savings, your wages, you guys are just doing fine. What a bunch of dunces you are. Just listen to me. Check this out. Millions of Americans are moving up to better jobs and better pay. Since I took office, families are carrying less debt on average in America. They have more savings than they've had. There's Biden lying to you right there. I'm sorry. I put a show element in there that spoke to worldwide inflation going. This is a phenomenon happening around the world.

Everywhere you printed a bunch of money, you're seeing real inflation go down, real inflation eat away at real wages. Folks, wages are getting crushed in the United States. Depending on what measure you use, real wages. In other words, forget the nominal number you get paid. The power of your money to go buy things you need, food, medicine, housing, has gone down anywhere from 3% to 1.7%, depending on what metric you use. You are getting paid less. It doesn't matter what the number says on your check. It matters what the number buys. It's happening all over the world.

And this is not an argument like some on the left are making. Well, it's not Joe Biden's fault. It's happening everywhere. It is Joe Biden's fault because he's emulating the exact same policies that are leading to inflation around the world. It's happening everywhere. They printed money they don't have. Here, you know what? We can tell this guy. The perfect time for this Guardian. Look, here, Australia, the Guardian, left-leaning outlet. The perfect timing. I didn't even tell them.

To the left of Pravda, the Guardian. Real wages to fall by 3% as inflation surges. This is in Australia. It's happening all over the place. You print money you don't have, you're going to have an inflation problem. Speak the truth all the time, even in the face of opposition. Now, someone who have, you know, a couple of senators here, a group of them have no courage to speak the truth, going along with the Democrats red flag law plans, which is an unconstitutional train wreck.

Here is a gun control deal. USA group of senators including 10 republican sellouts i do the sellout part in there announce a breakthrough roy blunt richard burr john co-usual suspects john cornyn bill cassidy susan collins lindsey graham again rob portman mittens romney tom tillis and pat to red flag laws folks the idea that you can make a complaint against someone and you can violate their due process rights and take their guns away we have a process for taking people's guns away you know what it's called joe charging people with a crime that's what it's called that's what that's called that's got a name now red flag laws yeah i'm gonna do a hard pass on on red flag laws

for a couple of reasons what is this one i've got've got this down. It's so funny. I can't. Oh, the 10 senators. It looks like Bernie Sanders in my handwriting. I write like a doctor. I'm serious. It's 10 senators. I'll show you. It looks like Bernie Sanders. I write down the elements of the show so I can keep it in order.

Now, they're using the same logic. If this sounds familiar, fellas, Joe, especially, you've been hearing this for a long time. If the logic chuck schumer is using for past red flag laws meaning they can come for your guns when they red flag you right yeah if the logic they're using sounds suspiciously like what they use to lock your kids down shut them out of school demand you get a vaccine and put a mask on that's because it is here's chuck schumer political playbook this morning chuck schumer says we must move swiftly to advance this legislation, folks. Red flags. Because if a single life can be saved, it's worth it. Here we go again. Appealing to emotion. Gosh,

single life. Of course, we got to save lives. Yeah, we do. But just like COVID, did you consider that the policy, the lockdown you said would save a life may cost far more in the long run? If you look at the penalties from it, people sitting at home, getting depressed, drug use, you ever consider that? No, they didn't. That's why we're in this situation right now. You ever consider red flag laws, the consequences of it? That legal law abiding citizens who've done nothing wrong could be targeted by red flag laws because of political differences. Come on, Dan. That doesn't happen. That doesn't happen.

You know what? I'm going to do this a little bit out of order. Really? Here's a tweet by Eric Swalwell, noted PP tape hoaxer and left-wing lunatic. The real tweet. He's quote tweeting a media matters nut who's commenting on Ben Shapiro. Eric Swalwell tweets, please tell me this lunatic, talking about Shapiro, does not own a gun. Reason number 1,578, America needs red flag laws. That'll never happen here.

Despite the fact that a politician on the left, who is a noted collusion hoaxer, a pee-pee tape hoaxer, and a banger of fang-fang. This guy publicly puts out on his own twitter platform openly that this is one of the reasons a political difference he has with someone that we need american uh america needs red flag laws it's right there folks you can read it yourself it's not a conspiracy theory it's an actual tweet where's this all going why do people like eric swalwell want to target political opponents red flag laws because the process for them ladies and gentlemen is always punishment if they can invent a new process to take away your guns you're damn right they'll do it where's this all going

it's going where justin trudeau is right now the tyrant dictator of canada who targeted a bunch of protesters uh truckers remember joe remember that the debacle oh hell yeah here's justin trudeau saying don't worry joe you have no right to defend yourself here in canada if you get attacked with a gun or a knife or anything like that yes you just have to die in canada don't laugh this is ready check it out listen for yourself we have a culture where the difference is guns can be used for hunting or for sport shooting in can, and there's lots of gun owners and they're mostly law respecting and law abiding, but you can't use a gun for self-protection in Canada. That's not a right that you have in the constitution or anywhere else. If you try and buy a gun and say it's for self-protection, no, you don't get that.

You get it for hunting. You can get it for sport shooting, take it to the range, no problem, as long as you go through our rigorous background checks. But there's a difference around the culture and one of the things that we're seeing with the debate in the states is you get more and more of the american style you know right to carry self-defense arguments filtering up through through the uh you know the usual more right-wing communications channels where's it going it's already here that is a radical far left communist nut up in canada we know he's turned the country into a dictatorship that's a fact it's not open

for debate he's done things dictators do and continues to do them telling you to your face openly you can't defend yourself here you have the right you have you you should die first that's exactly where this is going make no have the right, you have, you, you should die first. That's exactly where this is going. Make no mistake. All right, folks, we have to end the show on this one today, but this is important.

We have a current thing update. And now the current thing update. So, you know, of course, like any leftist, you have to support the current thing. So we love that.

The current thing of the year is like, I haven't heard about it yet. Oh, you know, of course, like any leftist, you have to support the current thing. So we love that. The current thing of the year is, you're like, I haven't heard about it yet. Oh, you will. Wall Street Journal covered it this weekend, Joe. Native land acknowledgement. So the latest woke ritual. You hear about this? You thought the pronoun craze was bad? Sir, you will call me Zizai Zhou.

Is that a pronoun? Yes, it is. And if you forget, you can call me they. But theye is that a pronoun yes it is and if you forget you can call me they but they means multiple people i am multiple people you thought the pronoun craze was bad you don't mention people's pronouns in college you'll be sanctioned by the deis are the diversity equity and inclusions are soviet national anthem you think that's better? Now, at George Brown College, apparently there's some incident where they have these woke rituals now about native land acknowledgements.

Mount Holyoke College, I note, requires all students, listen to this, staff and faculty to make an acknowledgement at every public event or in any published material with compliance, Joe,

policed by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office. Some academic journals have even begun encouraging or requiring authors to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which their university is located. You're giving a speech at a college, you're writing a paper.

This paper was written on land owned by the Iroquois tribe. Who owned it before that? The pre-Iroquois tribe. And who owned that? The pre- by the Iroquois tribe. Who owned it before that? The pre-Iroquois tribe. And who owned that? The pre-pre-Iroquois tribe. We don't know. Do you believe this crap? This is going to be next.

Native land acknowledgement woke rituals. Enforced. Notice, enforced by the DEI office. Speak the truth, folks. Speak the truth all the time. Stand up against this stuff. It's the only way. All right. Thanks again for tuning in. I got Peter Navarro on the radio show later talking
