Americanfinancing. dot net slash bonjino thank you american financing okay so i applied the bonjino rule for the mow u which everyone should have applied let's wait for the mow you to come out the memorandum of understanding that's what that stands for for the liberals in the audience uh with what's left of the iranian theocracy now that we've seen it i have some commentary on it i want to say up front and very clearly everybody listen i'm not abandoning this president You can. It's a republic. You're free to piss all over this thing, hate it. There are parts of it I don't like. I think the money may be an issue. If they don't meet these

metrics, I'm not abandoning him. He is made unbelievably, politically unpopular decisions through now over five years of his presidency between 45 and 47. unpopular political decisions because he thought it was the right thing to do. I get there are parts of the MOU that don't meet the unconditional surrender metric. I understand. And it's a point of contention amongst a lot of people. But it's a memorandum of understanding. It's not a final deal.

As I said, what I can't digest with the, you know, now bipolar left and critics is what's your argument? Like, do you not like that he's negotiating or do you not like the fact? that he initiated kinetic strikes. And if you don't like either of those things, I just ask, given the portfolio of information he had about the very prescient threat of Iranian boats, cyber lethal plotting, and them rebuilding their nuclear program, which they were going to try to do,

even though we significantly heard it with Midnight Hammer. What was your plan? And then let me just throw this out there too. This is really important. Guys, you need to pay attention to this too. They're like, why we work here. Because if you don't believe in the show, no one else does either. If you think, well, Dan, you give unconditional support to him anyway.

You can take that in a little ball like this thing. Take it. And you can shove that right up your ass. Because that is bullshit. The president and I do not agree on everything. We've had disagreements on my radio show, respectful, of course. about, not about abortion, he's a pro-life guy, but about tactics. We've had disagreements on tariff policy.

Have you watched the news lately about disagreements I've had in the White House? I don't think they should be public. However, they now are. You think I don't air my grievances when I have them? Are you insane? Do you even read the news? This president has handled a problem that is 47 years old and made some grotesquely, politically unpopular decisions.

decisions where he's taking a beating on them because he believes it's the right thing. Nobody does that in politics, folks. Oh, they're good people. But there are no heroes in this story. I've told you this over and over. There are no heroes in politics. There are, however, people who will make transactional decisions because they believe in the long-run value of the country and they're willing to forfeit away some political popularity to do it.

It's rare, but it does happen. folks 47 years of presidents have punted on this problem even presidents i like Reagan one Reagan two he took it on did not work out perfectly no kinetic strike is going to there are always variables that are going to surface that you have to deal with and we've got 60 days to deal with it at the end of 60 days we'll talk about it again i'm not abandoning the guy I'm not abandoning that because I have no one from the, by the way, just so we get this on the record, crystal clear. Crystal clear. Not a single soul from the administration has called me and been like, hey man, can you go out there and advocate for, not a single soul.

I hate the Iranian Theocracy with a deep, dark passion, and I'm glad we hit him hard and killed most of them at the top. I'm glad we did significant damage to their ballistic missile stockpiles. I'm glad we set their nuclear program back 10 years because I don't want some dirty bomb to appear in downtown Manhattan or Times Square. I didn't get everything I wanted out of this deal. But I'm not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater and piss all over the administration because they didn't get every single thing they wanted when 47 years of presidents got nothing in return. I'm sorry. I'm not abandoning the president at all. I trust his judgment on this.

And he's already made, again, as clear as scotch tape, well, I may be dating myself. Does anybody even use that anymore? Justice's like, what's that? He's already made absolutely clear that if we don't get what we need out of this memorandum of understanding and the Iranians don't understand, the bombs will start trapping again.

Again, he didn't say that. Actually, he did. Justin, can you play that cut for me, please? Thank you. Bomb Iran if they don't comply, but there's nothing enforceable in the deal itself. Is that correct? Doesn't have to be. I let him know. I said, look, if you don't adhere to the agreement, I don't want to do that. But we're going to bomb the hell out of you. And I don't think that they're going to veer from the agreement. What else am I going to do? Am I going to say, I'm going to take you to court? Let me take you to court. Let me sue you. No, we're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement. I don't want them to. I want them to honor the agreement.

Again, the straits close up. Bad things can happen. You know, in war, terrible things happen. Like you mentioned the question before about the school gets hit. Other things get hit. Bad things happen in war. War is a nasty place. I see it.

I see it. I see it better than maybe anybody has ever seen it. I'm not abandoning this guy, folks. And please don't insult my intelligence with, well, they're afraid to speak as my, really? Read the freaking news, asshole. Are you serious? This guy has done what 47 years of presidents refused to do.

And I will say there is an argument out there, fair enough. And I'll address this later too. I have Batya Ungar Sargon coming on later about her book, The Jews and the Left, which is an amazing book. But I'll address this with her later to. There is some criticism out there said, hey, if the Democrats had cut this deal, you'd be pissed off.

Fair enough. However, the Democrats didn't cut the deal. That's the point. It's like saying in like the Knicks-Spers final, like if the Spurs were down by 29 in the third quarter, I'd get up and leave the game. Yeah, because the Spurs didn't come back. They were up in the series

and had no history of coming back from deficits. It was not the Spurs. The Knicks were down 29. And the Knicks had come back from 14, 16, 12. That's why you don't leave because it's not the Spurs. It was a Knicks. And they'd come back in just about every game. The point I'm trying to make is, of course, if it was the Democrats, you'd be panicking

because the Democrats have a history of doing jack shit on this problem, of going over and giving hand jobs to the Iranian Theocracy. Pardon my language. This guy doesn't. He's got a history of killing them. Soleimani and others. You're almost making money. point. Well, you'd be pissing with the Democrats. I would because it's the Democrats. That's the point.

47 years of presidents have punted on the problem. I trust his judgment on the matter. Why? Because it's based on his history, not because it's trust me, bro, politics, because he's done something about it. I'm the boss. Play that again. I love that one. My brother never text me about the show ever. My brother's like, Favorite clip. Someone in the chat said that this morning. I'm the boss. Everybody loves this clip. I'm the boss. 250 years of freedom, liberty, and kicking ass, man. Folks, I'm telling you, man, I love history, man. We've been through so much. We're going to get through this too. Smile a little bit. 250 years of kicking ass. You live in the greatest country on earth. But we have had some really shitty politicians. Now, why do I bring this up afterwards talking about President Trump and leadership? Leadership involves making really, really difficult, what I used to call in the FBI, I told everybody that worked for me in the bureau, level 10 decisions.

Level 10 decisions are decisions where they're, listen to me, there's no good answer. There's a shit answer and a shittier answer. And sometimes there's even a third option. Justin, do you know what it is? It's the shittiest answer. Okay. Here's the problem. You don't know what shit, shittier, or shittiest. You just don't know. If you did, someone would have figured out at level nine how to fix it, but they can't. So they come to you. They knock on the door. Hey, boss, you got a minute. I'd be like,

oh, shit, here we go again. Every day was like 20 level 10 decisions. Leadership involves making decisions that are not going to be popular where you can't explain every single reasoning, a bit of reasoning that went into it because a lot of it is classified. The president can't tell you everything he knows about Iran. I've seen a lot of it. I'm convinced he made the right call. 100 percent, told Sean Hannity that in his podcast. But there are consequences to those decisions.

In a free republic which we live in, there are people who are not going to like them. And when you make the decision anyway, knowing it's the right thing but not the easy thing because people are going to be dissatisfied and you make it anyway, that's balls, that's leadership. Not Hillary Clinton coming out now and saying, oh, you know, I don't think Joe Biden should run. You didn't say that back then when it was a level 10 decision

because you didn't have the testicular fortitude. Here's a clip I played before, but folks, bookmark this, go find it on TikTok, reels, whatever. And whenever you're in the midst of a level 10 decision where you're about to waver and you're thinking about doing the easy thing and not the right thing, watch this 30 seconds by college football coach Kirby Smart. It is incredible. Check this out. I truly want to be honest and up front about leadership.

You can't ignore the cost of leadership. Great leaders are willing to accept those costs. And I want to share quickly three of those things, three of the costs that are plastered, on my desk right behind it that kind of caught me between the eyes last week. Number one, you will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about. Number two, you will be disliked despite your best attempt to do the best for the most. And number three, you will be misunderstood and won't always have the opportunity to defend yourself. Those are three costs that come from being a great leader. You will be misunderstood. There are going to be

people who dislike you and you are going to have to make decisions where some people get hurt. You know, many times we had to make moves where people would come into the office in tears begging us, please don't do this. I said, I'm really sorry, but the decisions made. President Trump is dealing with level 20 decisions every single day. He knows they're unpopular and he does them anyway. I see red flags in a chat. Flag that clip. And when you're in the midst of your own life's level 10 decisions, dealing with your kids, a teenage crisis, some health problem in your life, and you're about to make the easy but not the right call. Watch that video, make it again. Red flags in the chat. Keep that on your phone. Now, I've shown you what leadership looks like, making decisions after 47 years of punting the football that others weren't willing to make.

I love that chat. You guys are the best. Here is what anti-leadership looks like. Hillary Clinton, and folks, I don't want to bore you. I can play the clips of her. Oh, my gosh, you guys are going overboard with these Joe Biden health things. Joe's great. Joe's fine. I don't buy into this.

Joe Biden's awesome. He should run, whatever. Now all of a sudden, because it was a consequence. It was the right thing to do to warn the Democrat Party and the American public that their president was clearly not. in good cognitive mental health. It was obvious to everyone. Everyone knew.

That's why the show today is called everybody knew. Because everybody saw it, the wandering off, that just the endless gaffes, calling people by the wrong name, Javier Baccaria. Remember that Lloyd Austin, the black guy? He didn't even know his own cabinet and his military leader's names.

Yeah, Baccaria. The guy used to call out dead people. I want a hat tip, Congresswoman Joey Bag of Donuts or Janine Bag of Donuts. Sir, she died 10 years ago. Oh, shit. Sorry, man. Everybody knew. The handshaking with people who didn't exist is Justin just brought up.

Hey, sir, there's nobody there. Oh, God. I was seeing visions. Hillary could have said something. Leadership. Hillary could have listened to Kirby Smart. But she didn't. But now Hillary's grown a set of grapefruits.

Hillary's got some buffalo balls now. Now she's out there like, ah, you know, Joe Biden really shouldn't run. This is what anti-leadership looks like. Play that cut. He made a terrible mistake. He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country. He had said that he would not run again.

And, you know, counterfactual narratives are always a bit tricky. but I believe if he had kept to that plan and said in, say, the late summer of 23, that he wasn't going to run, that he was going to pass the torch to the next generation, we would have had a real contest. And very sadly, I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would have beaten Donald Trump. Paula will absolutely kill me, Justin.

Justin's got the grapefruit balls in there. We still have those. If Paula comes in here, she will throw that. She hates that thing so much. These giant grapefruits, all of a sudden, you got grapefruit balls, buffalo balls, Hillary. Now, after the fact, she's like, yeah, you know what? He really shouldn't have run. You knew it.

Everybody knew. Everybody knew. Trump also knew. before destroying the Iranian theocracy and engaging kinetic actions twice through midnight hammer. I'd argue all the way back to Soleimani and others. He knows they're not politically popular. But he's getting briefings every day

where people are saying to him, sir, if this goes on a year or two or three or four more years, at the end of your presidency, you're going to give past this football to another president that's going to be dealing with a threat that we're not going to be able to negotiate anymore. We'll be like negotiating with the North Koreans where they already have a weapon.

The grape was. That's still an emoji in the chat. Paula, if you're watching right now, I forbid him. I forbid it. You can keep it. It can be a production room piece of memorabilia. Maybe we'll sign it for someone at auction and offer charity. By the way, big announcement we got coming up about giving away money, right guys?

Coming up soon? I just love giving stuff away. So we're going to do that. Folks, listen to me. I told you this yesterday. There it is. There it is. There's Justin. Grapefruit balls. All of a sudden, she's got him. Sure. Sure, Hills. Here, we get it. Now, listen to me. Act like you're in charge because you are. And people who act like they're in charge make level 10 decisions. And they don't worry about the short term appearing like it's the easy thing. They do the right thing. That's what the president, I believe, is doing. I'm not abandoning the guy. You want to abandon them. It's up to you.

It's a free republic. I'm not doing it. I've seen the guy operate. We have disagreements on stuff. I choose to stand with him and trust his judgment based on what he's doing right now. Also, these arguments now, listen, talk about Joe Biden is a show killer anytime. But this is more a story about the media and leadership than it is about anything else. And what are like the ninja quiet assassins in this cabinet has been Scott Besson.

He doesn't get a lot of the headline love. but Scott Besson is an absolute killer when it comes to media interviews, and he does it so quiet and soft. He's not like the samurai with the costume. He's like the ninja. He comes out of nowhere with the throwing stars and like the grappling hooks and stuff. Scott Besson was on with, was it Ross Sorky and Hedroy and Hesworth, and he was talking about the media and the whole coverage of Biden's health dilemma,

which no Democrats or media people had the grapefruit balls to talk about at the time because they do the easy thing, not the right thing. And he's like, really, guys, give me a break. Like, you're going to talk about President Trump's health right now? Come on, like hard pass. Check this out. You had what was the greatest, one of the greatest scandals of all time that the coverage of the Biden administration,

Joe Biden's diminished capacity and the cover up. And that's why it's probably fair to raise these questions. Where was in New York time? We just had a three-hour cabinet meeting yesterday, Andrew. For 10 months, the Biden administration did not have a cabinet meeting. How are you going to invoke the 25th Amendment if the cabinet secretaries never see the president,

which they didn't? That, you know, I hear from people in the treasury building that I see President Trump more in a day than my predecessor saw Joe Biden in half a year. This is really, like, tragically hilarious. The guy goes from the UFC right to the AF1, at JBA. Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews. Goes right there, have to fight.

Oh, he didn't sleep first? No. By the way, it's not easy to sleep on Air Force One, okay? Flies overseas, does what, like 36 hours of meetings, stays a little extra, goes to Versailles to sign the MOU, flies back, JD's doing another presser today, he's done a hundred, he's like, have you ever seen an administration so accessible? You guys in the media are just hilariously stupid.

I'm sorry, man. You look like a bunch of goofs with this stuff. He's the most accessible president we've ever seen. It's not even close. He's probably done more hours of accessible TV, digital, radio, audio interviews in just a year and a half than any president's done in four years. I want to get back to this in a second because, folks, the greatness of the United States is not only embodied by its hard power,

but it's soft power as well. It's cultural power. It's economic power, the power of its people and its unity and its patriotism. I got some clips coming up for you. I thought of something yesterday. And I handed it off to the guys. I said, fellas, I'm just telling you what I want,

my vision of this, but you got to put it together and they did an unbelievable job. I want to show you hard power, military, financial, global financial system power versus soft power. And like, color me skeptical about all the haters and the nothing is happening.

I'll show you why coming up in a second. Quick break. They buy gold and put some silver in your pocket. I know what you're thinking. Everything's expensive right now. How am I going to buy gold? Well, get your head out of the sand. One thing you can control right now

worshiping zora mom dami who's never even had a freaking job or obama i'll show you a video coming up in a few minutes of the obama where i got a thrill going up my leg i'm going to pee my diaper we don't do that here okay we respect results and a history of results that's why i like the They're very transactional in that matter. But there is a portion of our party that's still married to this old, I just want to say like democracy building. Like we're going to be, we're going to take kind of like the moral, global high ground and we should fight for democracy around the world.

And listen, there's nothing wrong with you for wanting that at all. Unfortunately, I'm a real politica. Like, that's just not the way the world works. There are countries and nations and nation states around the world that are just not ready for that. There are cultural differences. It's just not the same. American exceptionalism is real. This is a time for realism, especially when dealing with the Iranians. Why haven't the Iranians taken back their government over 47 years? There have been attempts. Persian people are strong. I don't know. I don't have any answers for you on that, why it hasn't

happen. All I can point to you is that it hasn't. And it is time to be real about this. We're number one, economically and militarily, and it's time to start acting like it. Now, Jerry Baker at the Wall Street Journal has a piece up. These guys, again, are not huge fans of the president, okay? But Jerry Baker, he says it pretty straight right here. It's time for a little, you know, Thucydides here, you know? What does that mean? He says within a Rand deal, Trump returns to realism. I want you to pay very close attention to this paragraph. We have got to scrap this international democracy building thing. It doesn't work.

It hasn't worked. It's a failure. He says as the theory of political power relations, the idea was famously illustrated centuries ago by Greek Historic Thucydides in his history of the Peloponnesian War. When the Athenians brought the rebellious island of Milos to heal and parlayed on what to do with its inhabitants, the nasty, brutish view prevailed,

and its cynical operating principle was applied. Here it is. The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. Ladies and gentlemen, hard power matters. Power is the coin of the realm. We should not be immoral as a nation. Obviously, we should not act unethically. However, we should act with a sense of realism.

Wars happen, people die. And as President Trump said, you can see this treat by Trey Yinks. If they don't behave, we'll go right back to dropping bombs, right smack in the middle of their head. That's what power looks like. And the weak Iranians will tolerate what they must. Because they are weak. They are weak. We just destroyed their leadership.

I mean, evaporated a lot of their military and their ballistic missile supplies. And all they can do is sign an MOU basically back. Strong will do what they do and the weak will tolerate what they must. It is time to get back to a sense of realism. But I don't want to dower a kind of, really, it sounds so like Manekean, right? Like, oh my gosh, what does that mean? We should abuse countries. No, it's not what it means at all.

It means we should be transactional. How does this situation benefit us? What if you've got a despot overseas who's a really bad guy? You can say he's a bad guy. But ultimately, if the relationship with the country benefits the United States, at some point we're going to have to accept like that's the leader of the foreign country. A lot of these guys and women who run these countries, countries suck. What are we going to do? Depose all of them? That's not the way this works.

But soft power matters too. Soft power matters because the rest of the world, ladies and gentlemen, wants to be us. It's not the other way around. All this relative nonsense, well, you know, American exceptionalism is great, but Greek exceptionalism do. Remember Obama? Well, I love Greece. They're beautiful places. It's fantastic. People are amazing. However, our system of government, our country is the best. Number one foamy finger, go America all the time. I love this place. Even when the president sucks, Biden, Obama, I don't shit on America.

The president may suck. We have crap politicians. We have people like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and others. I get it. But the country survived it. I'm telling you, man, you got to go and, like, read the history of this country. Think about what happened. I can't get over like what Lincoln went through between 61 and 63.

It was that his son dies. The rebel armies miles basically from the White House. He doesn't even know if he's going to live and be lynched. He has no idea that even some of the northern states are telling him, hey, don't do the emancipation proclamation. Don't free the slaves. We want to keep this war about preserving the union, not about slavery. Lincoln's like, hey man, we got to do it.

Like this guy had, you want to talk about balls and leadership. I mean, outside of Washington, there's never been a more difficult presidency. I don't think the guy had five minutes of sleep. I'm the boss. You are the boss. But soft power matters too. And I thought as I'm watching all these videos of visitors to the United States for the World Cup, taking in the United States many for the first.

time and just extolling the virtues of this freaking awesome place, I thought to my European, South American, Central American, African friends who were over in the country for the first time watching your team, you are welcome here. You know, we love you. Have fun in the United States. It's a beautiful, gorgeous place. But you think like this FIFA thing is a big deal? I walked into the guys yesterday. I think Haley was doing her show, whatever, too. I had to like sneak around. Like, fellas, I need you to put this together. Europeans, I know you're not going to stay for college football season, but you ain't seen nothing yet.

If you ain't seen college football pregame and halftime shows, here is a hat tip justice. Justin, you put this together? Okay, this is Justin B. Hat tip, Justin B. Here's about a minute and a half of what you're missing out. You should come back for college football season. I've seen this stuff live. This is incredible.

Check this out. I just strongly. encourage you, our global friends and visitors, come back and visit when Auburn and the SEC folks open up. Listen, I love Auburn, but to be fair to the rest of the audience, our A&M, Virginia Tech fans, Pennsylvania, PSU, my alma mater, I get my MBA there. I cite it. Forgive me, never cite your education. I was not trying to be a smart ass. I just went there too. But come back for that. storm afield with the rest of the students hey man

I'm turning into like such a sap I got to tell you I'm like seriously getting like choked up here over college football soft power matters too man I can't say this enough guys and I will say it for the rest of this year and forever it is our 250th anniversary

we shouldn't have made a 2.5 months 2.5 years or 25 years and not only we make it but we made it. You, your fathers, your grandfathers, who were bricklayers and plumbers, all this piping and electrical work, all these beautiful buildings,

the Oculus I showed you yesterday in Atlanta, the stadium. Who do you think built that? Not Obama, you didn't build that, or Elizabeth Warren or the other. You did. All those wars that were fought overseas. You'd all be speaking German right now, It wasn't for heroic World War II vets like my grandfather.

My uncle who was killed and shot in the back, got two bronze stars with a V device in Vietnam shot in the back. Look up his story, Gregory Ambrose. Check it out. It's on that memorial wall page. Read it yourself. We built this place. And now that all these foreigners are coming over here and these visitors,

it's almost incredible. Not you and my audience. I know you've loved this place and you still love it. You love it still. But there are people out there. A lot of our younger folks and others who've been indoctrinated by a bunch of dipshit bow tie wearing college professors with the cigarette with the stick at the end like Durst and Howell.

America sucks. No, you suck, mother. You suck. You suck. You're a moron. And I'm not going to let you indoctrinate our kids to hate this country. Check this out. Here's this guy from the UK.

What's his cat's name? This guy, I was a, stay with it. This guy, he comes over here from the UK. He's like, man, I got to tell you, you guys with the Second Amendment, I can't believe we're such overseas. You have that right here because you live in the greatest country on earth. Check this guy out. This is good stuff.

One of the things that's become extremely apparent to me after spending a few days here with a group of Americans and other necessities is how much of a fucking, English people are in general when it comes to arms, guns and basically protecting their nation. We've been totally pacified in the UK and through removal of our arms, our right to bear arms. It's caused a big problem for us. And now our government is basically turning into this absolutely tyrannical, feminine leadership that is gradually eroding all of our rights.

There's really not much we can do about it. Yes, Spencer Tarring in that video. That's who that is. You're damn right. You want to protect yourself here? You live in the free state of Florida, not the tyrannical city of New York, where they, God forbid, you have a gun to defend.

The criminals get guns. Because criminals don't give a shit about gun laws. That's why they're freaking criminals. Oh, lessons of being a criminals. You don't care about laws. If you did, you wouldn't be a criminal. Logic. Remember you take a logic course in college?

Why are criminals criminals, Justin? Because they don't give a shit about laws. That's why it's committing a crime. You broke the... Oh, okay. No, but they definitely care about gun laws. Down here in Florida, we have a constitutional carry state. Carry a gun.

You know what? The crime rates are really low. Because you just don't break in a house in Florida. What's waiting for you on the other side, Justin? Yes, a man or woman with a gun who will likely kill you because we have stand your ground, too. Was that great he judge? Is that the Florida sheriff? He's like, yes, you can kill them.

It's less paperwork. I don't like killing. Like, killing's not a good thing. I've had to go. But whoever you come in my house, burglarize my house in the middle of the night, and it's us or you. It's you.

I'm sorry, it's not mean. I'm not trying to be a dick about it. I'll avoid it if I can, but you're in my house. I'm sorry. By the way, they love our accents, too. You know, you see these movies and everybody's like, ah, that James Bond. That's the greatest thing ever.

You ever see the other side of it? They think we have great accents. No, they. Yeah, they do. Here's this lady saying, man, I really love these Americans with the howdy and all this other stuff. I love the, and she talks about how we like have better words as a, they come to the United States. They love this place. You should love it too.

You should love it too. You live here now. You don't have to come here. You're already here. Check this out. Americans, I am convinced that you guys have the best accent in the whole world. I love it so much. Every single time someone says hello to me.

I just want to carry on the conversation, the better. When you guys say howdy, it's just so good. And you have so many better words than us. I wish I had an American accent. I just want to hear, yes, sir, yes, ma'am, all day. As a transplant to the south, although South Florida is not really the South. You know the old line about Florida, right? The more South you go, the more north you get.

So I don't want to fake it. But having lived in Georgia for a while, and I've been in the South, my, you know, my, I have my daughter's in Auburn, an Auburn student there. I spent a lot of time in the South. There's nothing like a yes man. As I said to you, people in the South are so damn nice. Even when they don't like you, they bless your heart. It's the most amazing thing.

Bless you heart. Bless your heart, young man. Bless your heart. You're like, you didn't get that in New York. You know what they tell you in New York? Language alert kids. They say, hey, go fuck yourself. Nobody blesses your heart.

No one. There is no blessing of the hearts in New York. I love New York growing up there. Like I said, the same guy who told you to go F yourself, you have a heart attack, he'll give you a mouth to mouth. Even if you're like foaming at the mouth and dying, they'll save your life. They're good people.

They're just a little different. They bless your heart, man. So I say to the Democrats who hate the South and everything like that, they can't stand. So you're like, ah, yeah, you're back. Oh, no, we're not back. you're backwards and I bring receipts. What does the damn budget show do better than everyone?

Receeds every single time. Here is a CNN poll. So there we go. DB show receipts every single time. It's a CNN poll. So don't accuse me of like some right wing bias. Here's Harry Anton on CNN, basically talking about how Democrats really hate America.

Numbers, man. Spreadsheets, bro. Why do you guys hate America so much? The answer is not because America's side. It's because you suck. You suck. Here, let me do a Democrat. I'm a Democrat. What does two thumbs that hate America? The Democrats, we don't hate America. We love America. Even when the politicians leading the place suck. We still love the country. Receipts in coming. Here's the Paul I was talking about. Check this out. What about this idea? Are you proud to be an American? Extremely or very proud to be an American? Again, look at this divide, a growing divide on this question. Back in January of 2001, 90% of Republicans, 85% of Democrats. This was after a very contentious 2000 election, keep in mind, right,

with George W. Bush coming into the White House. You come over to this side of the screen in 2026. Look at this. Again, the Democratic percentage absolutely plummets to just 29% of Democrats say they're extremely, are very proud to be an American. That Republican percentage, the exact same. 90 and 90, the Democratic percentage, what is that? That's basically a third of the level that it was just 25 years ago.

So you're telling me, just to be clear, fellas, that seven out of ten Democrats are not proud to be Americans. How is that? Have you ever traveled outside the country? I implore you. I beg you. I would get on bended knee, but I'll never be able to get up because I got bad knees. And I am a decaying carcass of a human being right now with all this arthritis. Just pretend I'm on bended knee.

Dear Democrats, can you just please go visit other countries? No, but don't tell me, like, you visited Paris and Rome. I get it. I said this, yes, they're beautiful. Or London, I love it. Go actually like working class suburbs, those types of areas. And look at the condition of a lot of these places around the world you claim to want to move to. Why don't you live there a little bit?

The answer is, because you're full of shit. How is it that seven out of ten Democrats are not? proud of this place. I'm going to give you the answer. The answer is because they're small G gods they worship like Barack Obama and others spend all their time shitting on this place. That's it. Who do they worship? Socialists, Mamdami, and Obama, Elizabeth Warren. They worship academics, sadly, which populate American institutions of higher learning that tell students all the time, it's capitalism, ma'am, its free markets really sucks. We should all give our money, the government. The students, some of them, some of them are like, yeah, man, that sounds great.

Government really loves me. Government hates you. Government hates your guts. Nobody hates your guts more than government. Nobody's done more damage over the course of human history to human prosperity than government. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. It was fantastic. Basically saying like, please stop doing stuff that when the government back in the 1910s and earlier, we had depressions and recessions that were over like that. Why? Because the government, didn't do anything. When the government started to fix things, they effed up the whole situation

and the depression became great. Nobody asks you over more than government. Nobody. They've driven these people crazy. They hate America. Are you ready for that? Put down what you're doing. Whatever you feel the greens cup.

I had my blackout coffee in there. There's nothing in the room, but you can see it. I go a little coffee, you know, okay? This stuff, we got lean, we got books, we got pens, spots, phones, whatever. Put down what you're doing. Book down. The Democrats have been driven so crazy by these Obama far-left social.

America sucks, man, government rocks. That they're, I'm not messing with you here. There are actually rallies in D.C. going on. Algae rap, pro-algae rallies at the reflecting pool. Dan, surely you're messing with this. I'm not messing with you. I told you if Trump cured HIV tomorrow, there would be a group of people out there like, we need HIV back, man.

I can't believe Trump did that. Like, he really, like, go think about all these, these anti-HIV viruses that are now going to go out. They would find a reason to be like, number one fromy figure pro-HIV. Trump cleans up the reflecting pool, President Trump. It's summer. Like algae happens, like in any body of water, but they've got this system and they're cleaning it up.

there's going to be some hiccups. There's a freaking rally. I'm not messing with you at the reflecting pool. People are like pro-algae. Show us thing. Because the audience is going to think we're making us up. Algae in the silent, murky shadows of a forgotten retention bond. Something ancient and green stirs.

Who planted it? Who cares about it? And how do we save it from extinction? They didn't tell me they were doing that. I was wondering why they were in via. Vio is when you voiceover, you put a little box. I'm wondering why are they didn't tell me they were going to do that. There was a real picture.

There's like a pro-algy rally. Folks, hat tip Emily Miller. I'm not kidding. This is insanity. CNN, by the way, which has enough assets there. Look at his team algae. This is so nuts. This is the craziest thing I have ever seen.

I'm telling you. they'd be pro hepatitis pro-ebole? Whatever Donald Trump does, it doesn't matter. They're already pro-Iranian. They're like, yeah, death to America, we love those guys. Why? Well, because Trump does it.

Please get help. You ever see that? You ever see the Michael Jordan Giffy? Stop. Get help. It's time for Jordan Giffy. Like, stop. Please.

Like, it's really, you guys need help. Here's the Washington Post, which could have debunked the bullshit Russian dossier by with five minutes of work with their journalism department that has done a whole big expose on algae booms reflecting pool algae booms have roared back reaching highest levels in years. CNN got a whole team of reporters out there reporting on the algae.

Just to be clear, the border's been closed, crimes the lowest it's ever been in U.S. history, the homicide rates collapsed, GDP's exploding. We have AI innovations coming out every day. Trump's basically dealing with the death to America, Iranians, has been punted for 47 years. The Maduro's in prison.

We're exporting more petrochemicals and we ever have. And what the app for the Washington Post and CNN working on? An expose on algae in the reflecting pool. Look at this. You think I'm making it up. Check this out.

Wow. Look at that. CNN independently took the sample of water and consulted with a pool store that regularly test water to help read the results. It showed phosphate levels far higher than what is recommended

to keep algae at bay based on estimates. for a pool that holds 6.5 million gallons of water. If there's already some phosphate fertilizer in the water. They got like, they actually, they got an algae researcher. Thank you, Barrett Brooks. Barrett, this is what CNN still hasn't admitted the dossier's bullshit. Look at this.

They got Barrett Brooks. Barrett, you're my hero. Algae researcher. CNN coordinated this. Hey, Barrett, uh, we're DMing you. We're doing a huge expose. Barrett's like, on what, the collusion thing? you guys fucked up? No, no. Algae in the pool. Oh, cool. I'm an algae guy. Hey, can you meet us out

at the Lincoln over there between, you know, the Washingtonite the reflecting pool? We're doing a big expose on algae in the reflecting pool. You would think Barrett would be like, hey, man, maybe it's a better idea to, you know, cover like the MOU and all the bullshit stuff. They try like 8 and 10 Americans think you guys suck. No, no, we're going to cover algae at the by the way, CNN, are you going to cover the pro-algy rallies? Go algae. Go on. There's like Team Algae. This is, you're going to vote for this shit? Man, dude, listen.

You know the dude thing, right? We can't play this enough. There's like 20 ways to say, dude, you know, there's a serial killer around the court. Dude, was it that Rob Schneider clip? Someone says something, dude. This is one of those like, I'm puzzled by how dumb you are. Dude, you're going to vote for the Democrats. I'm not telling you like Republicans are the solution to all your problems.

I'm not. We have our own. best up members. However, you're going to vote for Team Algae? These people are crazy. Why are they crazy? Because they worship personalities and they don't worship results. Here, look at Haptim Media Research Center. I wanted to pull this because the article I'm going to discuss next is hugely important. It's how we got here. All right. We laugh about it, but it's not funny. There are a generation of people, not just kids who hate this country, hate it. You can't have a club, nobody wants to be a part of.

Here's one of the reasons that happened. Hat-Tip, MRC. Here's about a minute of the coverage of Barack Obama when he was running for office, who no president's done more to destroy this country than him. Check this out. Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office.

I mean, from a visionary leader of a judge, giant movement. Now he's got an executive position. President Obama is the most noble man who has ever lived in the White House. Is he one of our brightest presidents? Absolutely. I think so. This guy's done everything right. He's never not only broken any law. He's never done anything wrong. A lot of things are just perfect about Barack Obama. He's the perfect father, the perfect husband, the perfect American. You can see it in the crowds, the thrill, the hope, how they surge toward him. You're looking at an American political phenomenon. You know, you are the equivalent of a rock star.

The feeling most people get when they hear a Barack Obama speech, my, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I don't think we've ever had a president, save Lincoln, who is as great a speechwriter as this man. They were moved by you. People were crying. We've seen people move to tears after just the briefest encounter with it. Oh my gosh, the guys in there, don't even know what to do. Ant he's like, is this for real?

Yes, brother, it's for real. I got a thrill up my leg. This is there. There you go. There's your other homie, Robert Reich. You got to thrill up your leg? What, you piss yourself? That's a tingle.

That's liquid. Comparing him to Lincoln? Brother, are you shitting me? Please, please, I'm begging you. You don't even have to read a book. Go just download a documentary. anywhere, Rumble, YouTube, Netflix on Lincoln. You're comparing Lincoln to Obama.

Lincoln, who he gets in office. And the southern states are like, we're out of here, bro. There's going to be a war. You're comparing Obama to Lincoln? Matthew Contetti at the Wall Street Journal. I can't recommend this piece enough. I'm not going to read the whole thing, obviously.

But you need to read it. Why are we talking about Obama and his little acolyte Joe Biden now? Because how we got here today, why seven out of ten Democrats are not proud to be Americans, according to CNN's own poll, very proud to be precise, it doesn't really matter, is because of people like Obama who have made a political career out of being a, you know, bullshit activist and ginning up hatred of America. Connetti's piece is amazing. Talks about how Obama, all of where we are now is easily explainable on either the geopolitical

or home front by what Barack Obama did. The piece is entitled Obama's legacy is the Trump presidency. Talks about his foreign policy, all of it, how kissing the ass of the CCP. Scroll down a little bit. I want to check out some. He talks to how it comes up with the presidential He says, start with foreign policy. Throughout his presidency, Obama sought to retrench U.S. power.

His reset with Russia, yeah, that worked out great. Surge of forces in Afghanistan withdrawal from Iraq. His failure to enforce red lines in Syria had lethal effects, all of them. In his first term, he canceled missile defenses, promised Russia more flexibility, tolerated dictators such as Ortega, Chavez, and Maduro, even taking in a baseball game kissing Castro's ass. Then they go down later in the piece. talk about all his international ambivalence, how all basically he did almost jack shit to halt terrorism,

how Obamacare, which was supposed to cut costs, they just had to shut down the government Democrats because the Obamacare costs are exploding. His JCPOA sucked. So when you say things like, well, you know, if this were a Democrat, this MOU with the Iranians, President Trump signed, if we were a Democrat, we'd be erupting. You're correct. because Democrats do stuff Trump wasn't willing to do, which is kissing the ass of our enemies.

This is a great piece. It's worth your time. How did we get here? This is how we got here. Obama laying the groundwork for international weakness and the castrating of the U.S. overseas, using executive power whenever Congress rebuffed him. And then they bitching them all.

Like, oh, my gosh, Donald Trump is doing. At least Donald Trump listens to the court. courts. Even when they do stuff we don't agree with. Read it. It is really worth your time. And folks, listen, the Democrat Party, which academics, entertainers, America sucks, Trump sucks, all this stuff, seven out of ten Democrats hate the country, you suck. They are full of shit. Listen to me. I hope if there's one lesson you take out of the show, just one. Read the book by Fred Siegel, revolt against the masses, how the liberal progressive movement hates working class voters. Listen up, West Virginia coal miners, Pennsylvania electricians, New York tin-knockers and steam fitters,

and military men and women. If you are a middle-class American busting your ass for your kids or your family, the Democrat Party hates your guts. Hates your guts. They have always hated your guts. they believe in a costume European aristocracy where as long as you're an academic who studied women's studies in the 14th century,

you are the benighted one. Wear your costume and you should be worshipped by the minions like the plumbers and electricians out there who should just work to support your glorious lifestyle. Although you don't do anything involving plumbing or electric. You just talk about shit. And write white papers nobody gives a damn about. You don't believe me?

There's another piece in the Wall Street Journal about Mamdami versus the bodegas, or as Jill Biden would call him, the bogas. I'll get to that and say. Mamdami wants to do this supermarket, a New York City government supermarket. Gee, where we've done that before? We've done a Cuba, the Soviet Union. That's worked out great. Faith bottom, Mamdami versus bodegas.

His socialist supermarkets could put New York little grocers out of business. Now all the bodegas are like, hey, man, we voted for this clown, and now he's putting in a government supermarket with artificially low taxpayer-funded prices that are going to put the bodegas out of business. They're all pissed up. I told you. This guy hates you. He hates your guts.

They don't even know what a freaking bodega is. They don't know what a bodega is. You remember this gem? Dr. Jill Biden, prominent neurosurgeon. This matters, community is great. Like the Bogotas. What the fuck is a Bogota? Do we, what is a Bogota?

I've never heard of that. What is a Bogota? You doubt me? Check this out. Diversity of this community, as distinct as the Bogas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast,

tacos here in San Antonio. The Bogodas of the Bronx. Bogodas. Oh, my gosh. Why do Democrats hate America? They don't even know or understand America. They don't know what it's like to have to show up to an emergency call as a point.

Like that was a plumber. That's why I bring up plumbers all the time. Someone's septic system isn't working. Oh, you don't do that. I teach women's studies. Instead, that's why you suck. That's why you suck. You've never been dirty in your entire life.

You've never had shit under your fingernails, cleaning up like a plumber has to do, so that you don't get some massive infection in your house. You never had to risk your life in a utility pole like a line worker. You never done any of that shit. You wrote a white paper about 18th century women's studies on basket weaving or some bullshit. That's why.

You don't live in the real world where you, you interact with real people every day. Take a quick break and we'll get back to the show with Badiangar, we're going to talk about a lot of important things. Hey, the stakes right now cannot be higher.

She loves civilization over the demon savage, just like I do, the great Badiah Ungar Sargon.

She has a new book out, which is fantastic. The Jews and the left asking the question I've been asking for a really long time. And we'll just start out with that, Batia. How the hell is it that the Jews who, I mean, there's a significant and not irrelevant portion of the left that would like to see this group of people in camps. And they keep voting in large numbers for Democrats. It's unbelievable got a guy in Maine with a Nazi tattoo on his chest. What's the deal? So, first of all, I can't believe I'm here with you.

In my community, you are a superhero. I'm getting emotional. I promised myself I wasn't going to do this. But when you came back on the scene and said, actually, no, we're not going to talk about Jews like that. Actually, no, we're not going to throw our Jewish neighbors under the bus for bots and clicks from Pakistan. You just changed the conversation instantaneously. And the commitment that you had to that, we say prayers for you in my synagogue to protect you from evil. Thank you.

Because it's just so incredible and it comes from so deep in you. And it's so obvious that it's from so deep in you. And so I just, I have to start by just thanking you from the bottom of my heart for that. That's very nice here. God should bless and protect you and everybody that you care about. You are such a hero to my community and to this nation and just a complete and utter blessing. and I'm so honored to be here. Okay, now I'm going to answer your question.

Why are Jews Democrats? This is the question I get asked the most when I travel by Christians, by conservatives, by Republicans, and they ask it to me with real pain because they'll say to me, why are the Jews Democrats when the Democrats hate them, and we have their backs? We love the Jews, but they're on the other side. And it is, it's a very fundamental question, I think.

And so I decided ultimately, look, so many people have asked me this question. I'm going to write a book about it. Why did the Jews become Democrats in the first place? Why did they stay Democrats? And why did the left turn on them? I think that today, the main reason that two-thirds of American Jews remain Democrats is because they have convinced themselves that they are an oppressed minority in a country that has refused to treat them that way from the minute the first Jew stepped foot on American soil in 1654.

This was less than a decade after 50,000 Jews were murdered in Ukraine by Cossacks. Less than a decade later, a man named Aser Levy stepped foot on American soil, an anti-Semite named Peter Stuyvesant tried to kick the Jews out, And it was like the soil itself rebelled. Aser Levy took him to court and sued him for equal rights for the Jews and won. Literally from the second, the first Jew arrived here, the soil rejected Jew hate. Their Christian neighbors loved them. The founding fathers saw Jews as foundational partners in the creation of what it meant to be an American.

Because they believed that our. rights are not a gift from the government. They are a gift from God. They are imbued in us by our creator. And they saw the source material for that idea in the Torah. So when Jews started arriving, they started to see them as like the living, breathing embodiment of that source material for the civilization they were trying to build here. It is so deep. People ask me, why has America been so good to the Jews? And the answer is because Americans have a covenant with God. That's the answer.

And it runs so deep and this history has been utterly lost, especially in the liberal Jewish community. And I find that unbearable. And so I wrote this book to correct the record. I'm not saying there was never anti-Semitism in America. Of course there was.

But every instance of it, the most famous instances of it you can imagine, were met by a rabid opposition from the nation as if, you know, inoculating America against a virus. And I just had to rescue this history and give it back to my people and give it back to the Christians who are the reason that this is the case.

American Christians are the first people in human history to organize their religion around the protection of Jews rather than oppressing Jews. We have to be telling this story. So to me, this is kind of the impetus behind the book and the thing I most hope people take away from it. I hope so too, because it's not that we don't have an unfortunate surplus of historical examples of where this ends every time. And by the way, it's not just Jew hatred. And I hope we get to this a little bit later, but it's any collective guilt, any guilt because of some artificial group membership. I say artificial because

the Democrats change their mind on what group you should be in depending on how they can leverage you against others. You know what I mean? Like if Jews started voting primarily Republican, they would target Jewish union members and say, hey, you guys are in a union. You're getting screwed. Wait, I thought it was Jewish that matter. No, no, it's union membership. Like the Democrats don't really care.

But Batya, we've seen where this goes. And if you're out there and you just randomly hate Jews because they're Jews, I suggest you see a psycho thing. therapist. But I also suggest like go get Netflix or like Apple TV or whatever and just like watch a documentary. You don't even have to read a book if you're too lazy to do that. We know where this goes. This is not hard. I'll never forget getting that knock on my door. One a.m. I don't know how long I've been in the job two, three months. It was Judge Janine's first day. And they said, hey, boss, we got to go

out to the street down in D.C. It was like three blocks away. So what happened? They said two Jewish embassy workers were just murdered in cold blood. And the street. I said, you're kidding. I said, we got to go now. Put on my jacket. I watched the bodies. Watch them being hauled away. The blood was right there.

Like, there's a consequence to this type of behavior. That's why I said, like, if this is going to become our movement, count me the fuck out. Pardon my language. I don't want anything to do with it. That's not our movement. It's time to take it back. Absolutely. And I do think that there's kind of a misnomer.

People talk about rising anti-Semitism on the right, on the left. left, it is so marginal on the right. It looks big because of the bots, because there's two billion Muslims who love anti-Semitic content and spend a lot of time on Twitter. If you go into a bar in middle America, nobody hates the Jews. People feel very protective of Jews. They are Zionists. You know, Israel's not very popular right now. They don't want it wiped off the face of the planet. But meanwhile, on the United. But meanwhile, on the United, you know, Israel's not very popular. But meanwhile, on the left, you have the opposite. You have people who have real hatred for Jews in their heart being elevated to the status of celebrities.

It's a real split screen how the left is treating the anti-Semites in its midst and how the people on the right are people like you. People like the president himself who basically kicked, you know, Tucker Carlson out the party. It was like, you're not in this party anymore if you're going to talk that way. And so I think that's so different. and also something that liberal American Jews fundamentally don't understand is the way that people who hate Jews are treated on either side is so different. That guy that you talked about who murdered two Israeli embassy workers. By the way, he didn't know that they worked for the Israeli embassy. He just wanted to kill Jews.

And when they came to arrest him, he said, I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza. And then he started to chant. And there's a video of this. He went, free, free Palestine. and he sounded exactly like the hordes of college campus students who were in their encampments chanting the exact same thing chanting for intifada. The problem is, Dan, is that I think that a lot of the Jewish organizations handled this exactly wrong. So for example, after all this campus activism,

you had the ADL coming out and saying, Jewish students are unsafe. Why are we not included in DEI? we are also an oppressed minority. Why aren't we getting the same treatment as black students and trans students who are protected from having to hear the views of people they disagree with? And I just utterly reject that. Because I think fundamentally the Jewish students were getting the same treatment that Charlie Kirk had been getting for a decade, that conservative students get, that Christian students get. You think if you walk on a college campus in a red maga hat, you're going to be treated worse

or better than a guy in a yamaka, it's probably about the same. They were giving us the same treatment that they've been giving whites and conservatives and Republicans and people who love Trump for 10 years, if not more. And to me, the response to that should have been, first of all, I'm proud to stand with the people in this country who will always have the backs of the Jews. And second of all, it wasn't okay to treat them that way either. But instead, you had this leftist because so many Jews are on the left. They said, well, why aren't we being treated like an oppressed minority?

And so I really want us to understand exactly what happened there and how that response was so wrong. Because they were leaning into the very ideology that got us there in the first place, which is that there's a moral distinction between oppressor and oppressed. white person and person of color. And the white person who's an oppressor is inherently evil. And the oppressed who is a person of color is inherently virtuous and have no moral authority, no moral responsibilities. And white people can have no moral authority, except to get on their knees and seed power to the powerless. The whole point of America is a rejection of that. It's built on Judeo-Christian values of the difference between right versus wrong.

And I think that as American Jews, that is what we need to. to be leaning into and insisting on. Yeah, I don't think people who've fallen for this anti-Jews scam understand that it's just an offshoot of critical theory. Critical race theory is just an offshoot of critical theory. The whole idea that the white male patriarchy is the source of all power and that knowledge is a construct of that power. Therefore, you should question everything they tell you, including math.

The problem with that beyond its obvious absurdity is they don't even know what white is. Then when you discuss Jews and Asians, they're like, well, they're white adjacent. Actually, they're not, they're not white adjacent at all by your own definition. Like there's not, they just say that. It just goes to show you that what they're against really is merit. What they want is collectivism and the inherent unequal treatment of people who are successful to take from them and then take their own cut and then level it out for political power. It's all one big scam.

I just can't believe people get suckered by this. I just want to show the book here. The book, again, is the Jews and the left, Batia Ungar Sargon. Please pick up the book today. It's amazing. I want to get to this. I know we may have some minor disagreements. Short term, I don't think they're long term on strategy.

However, the MOU signing in the news I had stated at the beginning of the show today, you know, a critique I've heard about it, which, you know, listen, everyone's get, That's what I love about the Republic, especially on foreign policies. Decisions are so important and existential with the death to America, Iranians, that we can't screw this up. But one of the arguments I hear is, well, you know, if it were the Democrats, we would be, you know, wailing and screaming about it. And you're not wrong if the Democrats.

But I think the critical point is it's kind of like the Knicks game. If the Spurs were down by 29, you'd probably leave the game because they have no history of coming back. However, when the Knicks are down by 29, you're like, well, it's the Nicks. they've come back from every other and they wind up winning the game. I think the point is that it's not the Democrats. Like it's President Trump who's shown no fear whatsoever about going back in and kicking ass and taking names. But I get the critiques on both sides. Your thoughts on it.

Yeah, I mean, I love this president. I really do. I think the first year of his second term will never have a year like that again. He literally was doing everything I would have done. Mass deportations, tariffs, Venezuela. a lot, like incredible efficiency, incredible restoration of dignity to working class Americans. I am very disappointed in this MOU. He's only going to be president for two more years, right?

So I think the idea was like we're going to do something to protect future generations of Americans from the feckless weakness of future democratic leadership, right? Here, it just seems like to me the juice was not worth the squeeze. And by the squeeze, I mean specifically the cost that working class Americans have already paid over the last four months in terms of gas prices and the cost of food and so forth. I totally get where he's coming from that people are broke. I've been talking about it on my show a lot. But to me, it seems like there were a lot of ways to ease up the stress here at home and the pressure here at home economically. For example, putting a limit on oil exports.

We're a net exporter of oil and gas. We have a surplus that we're selling to other nations. I don't understand why he couldn't have just said, you know what? We're going to sell that domestically. Get the price down at the pump for American workers. And then, you know, keep the pressure on Iran. And it seems to me like Iran has come out stronger than they were before because they're getting a lot of money back.

And also they clearly intend to start charging tolls to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in 60 days. And to me, I just find it unbearable as an American that we retreated. when we had them on the ropes, and this does seem to me to be a retreat. There's nothing in the MOU that gets at any of the three priorities the president laid out when he first started here. And I do think the Israelis over-promised and under-delivered, sure. I mean, there's a lot of things you could say. We thought that this would be easier.

I was very wrong about this. I thought they would cave much quicker. But they now know that with a few minds, they can bring the greatest superpower to ever exist in human history to its knees. and I'm just thinking to myself, what message does that send China? I mean, anybody who now controls a choke point now knows what our pressure point is, and that terrifies me for the future. Yeah.

Well, listen, I love the healthy debate on our side. And, you know, I really have so much respect for you. I just would challenge two points. The limiting domestic exports of petro products overseas is it's really a Democrat issue. I'm not trying to pass the buck. just the refineries here, which we can't get permits to build new refineries because of the environmental nuts, they can only blend certain products. Some of them are better suited for overseas. And we just can't really use it that efficiently here. So to limit that really kind

of screws over the way and doesn't really have the impact you would think it would. And I'd say secondly, I'm not so sure the Iranians. And again, it's an MOU. It's not any kind of a final deal. I'm not so sure they emerge from this stronger. When you look at the impact on their economy, you look at just the destruction of their leadership levels, their Navy being not completely destroyed, but pretty much routed, ballistic missile capability, again, not completely destroyed,

but significant supply chain issues to rebuilding it. I don't think the Iranians are throwing like a McDonald's birthday party. Remember when we were kids, the orange drink and a burger and the fries? So I would say this. would say, let's see how the next 60 days work out. I love the fact that people like you and I can talk about this kind of stuff. But I think there's no question. I think we can agree on this. Long term, yeah, short term, we're probably going to have some disagreements on the AMU,

but long term, there's been no better friend to the region. Forget about just Israel, but to the region in general for Middle Eastern stability than President Trump, Abraham Accords. So we'll see where it goes. And you know what? I'd love to have you back after the 60 days. we can chat about it again. But I do want to get to your book again, the Jews and the left, Batia Ungar Sargon, a really fantastic book. Pick it up today.

The rape gang story over in the United Kingdom, just a horrific, horrific story. Now, because you and I are moral and ethical people, this is not an attempt to stigmatize all Muslims like they do to the Jews. We are not going to pay back your destructive favor and become morons to. However, there's no doubt.

out that the overwhelming majority of men engaged in these disgusting rape gangs with these young women were in fact Muslim. Doesn't mean the entire group, but it is a fact that's unavoidable. And it's interesting how like the left who claims all this DEI stuff and tolerance is willing to tolerate a story that involves the trafficking of young children to disgusting filth bag men in the UK and turn a blind eye. Yeah, I feel bad because my number one reaction to this story was to surge of patriotism. We don't have this problem. And the reason for that is because the problem here is it's not just the Islamist culture.

It's the fact that their police are cowards. Their legal system is woke. And their political system is wokeified. And so as a result of that, as you said, Dan, there's just this protective shield around wrongdoing from people with darker skin than your average British person. So those aren't even failures of Islam. It's failures of integration and then failures at the systemic level. It's like pro-Muslim racism at the systemic level, anti-white racism.

And we don't have that because our cops are not pussies. Excuse my language. You don't have to excuse your language here. This is the Dan Bojino show in case you missed. So it's okay. Don't worry. We will not be bleeping that out in any way, shape, or form. I'm actually, you know, like, we got the NYPD.

You think they'd allow something like this to happen in Bay Ridge and be like, oh, sorry, we don't go there. You know what I mean? Not going to happen. Well, no, never going to happen, you know? And like, yes, our judges have been revealed to be very, very politicized when it comes to Trump. I believe that, you know, all of these lower level courts that are trying to stop him from, you know, exercising his Article 2 powers, it's a huge problem. It is a huge problem. Democrats really only think Democratic presidents should have Article 2 powers, let's face it. And there's a lot of judges who are just activists and you see their rulings getting overturned again and again and again. But, you know, and we do have a problem in New York specifically with someone like Alvin Bragg who thinks that, you know, young black men should not have to face responsibility for their for their actions. But specifically what they have in Europe with the Muslim population, we do not have that problem here. And so it makes. So it makes. me feel very much like an American supremacist, which I am, because we're just so much better at

integration. The Muslims who come here are our middle class and they want in on the American dream. Like the idea that they would sort of create these little enclaves and stay poor for three generations. We just don't have that because, again, the soil here is magic. So that was my initial reaction. Of course, horror at what's happening there. But also just for us to understand and as Americans what we're doing right. Again, the book is called Jews and the American, excuse me, the Jews and the left, Batia Ungar Sargon, pick it up today. I just want to exit today by telling you,

I just adore you. I think you do amazing work. I follow you. I have your tweets on notification. And you let everyone in that community know, I will never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, for any reason, fold on this issue. And this is not our party.

Be proud of our party. Be proud of our movement. Love our country. We've seen this stuff. This infectious, a cancerous rot mutated virus creep up every few years. And it's up to, you know, brave people to come up and stamp this fucking virus out. Like the scum it is and the infection is I can't even think of enough horrible modifiers to describe how awful this is going to end.

if we don't do it. And you always got me in your corner. And believe me, I am part of a growing group. You have no idea how many calls I get from people who say to me, yeah, it's time. It's time. I know it's time. It was time a long time ago. So I appreciate all your work.

And I hope people read the book. And you're welcome back anytime. Thank you so much. God bless and protect you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Bataa. Folks, pick up the book today. It is really important.
