All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Von Gino show. You know, I don't want to start the show in a bad note, and it's not really a bad note. It's more of me kind of a calling out a bad shit note. But I don't understand. I'm glad I don't understand it. It's like not understanding serial killers.

Like, yeah, I get it. Wacking people like, that's not how that works. Like, I don't understand that. That's a good thing. I can explain it. but I don't understand this endless magnet, far leftist, progressives, commies, and all of them who live here in the unbelievable wealth

of the greatest, most prosperous, God-fearing, incredible country ever created with sentient beings living on this rock we call Earth. They're just endless, like moss to a flame, need to shit on this place all the time. I don't understand it. I can explain it. deal other people's money, so you have to collect it through government by force to get it.

It's greed. I get it. But I just don't, I don't understand why you just can't shut them and just enjoy living in the greatest country in earth. Not that you shouldn't demand accountability from business titans, business leaders, small businesses, politicians, state government, the dog catcher. You should. However, you live in the greatest country of earth.

That's not, that is a statement disguised as opinion that is based on fact. GDP growth, economic wealth, the power of our military, legitimate freedom indices, not the fake ones. You live in the greatest country on earth and they do nothing but bitch and moan all the time. It's most incredibly, by the way, congratulations. I don't know if you wanted last name out there, but someone sent this to us, committed. Well, Gennaro, he's going to the Merchant Marine Academy.

We get a lot of stuff with the office. Someone sent us a prayer card, prayer to our lady, the untire of knots. My eyesight's so bad. I thought it said the uniter of knots because I couldn't see anything. It's really small. But thank you very much. You guys are all awesome. You know I love the Bongino Army, best audience in the business.

I'm going to show you what I mean in a minute. Because folks, this class, this show is not. a class, it's not a history lesson. But if you don't understand how we got here and you keep listening to this revisionist history of the corrupt mercenary United States, then the country's not more saving. Correct? Tell me, folks in the chat, tell me I'm wrong. Who wants to be part of a treehouse, a club, anything else? Well, all the members are shit. The answer is nobody. You want to hang around with good friends you like and enjoy who are loyal, friendly, good to be around, generous. How are you going to have a country to hand down to your kids when your kids think this place

sucks? It's exhausting. I got a lot to get to. They have two-pageer today, a lot of content. So let's get right to it. Hey, many Americans try these weight loss shots, but quit due the cost or side effects. A lot of friends of mine looked into it. I can tell you what I used. I use lean. I had to lose some weight folks. It's a great product by Brickhouse and nutrition. I love the guys over there. I lost weight with lean. Well over 30 pounds at this point. It was just too much for my knees, getting a little bit older.

Today's show also brought through by my favorite mobile provider. They have rescued me from the hellhole of terrible service many times. Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile. It's great service. Last year, our eyes may have been open to a lot of things, but there was one thing many found particularly disturbing. That's the infighting on the right. I think we all agree on freedom of speech, right to bear arms, right to life, and supporting our military and our excellent first responders as well. There's one company that's been fighting for our rights. They've been with me for a long time. They do it proudly.

They don't run from being allied with the Christian conservative movement. That's Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile, if you say things three times, there's three times people remember. Unlike other mobile providers, Patreon Mobile works on all three major networks. In fact, you could be on multiple networks on the same phone. More importantly, their customers enjoy priority service with the same or better quality as their old providers.

Patreon Mobile's 100% U.S.-based customer service team makes switching fast and really easy. Paula switched both our phones. Took about five minutes, maybe less. Keep your number, keep your phone, or even upgrade. Go to patreonmobile.com slash Dan, get a free month of service with the offer code, Dan. This company's been fighting for the things we believe in for a long time. That's great. And you know what's also great?

The service is spectacular. It's really cost effective too. Make the switch today. Patriotmobile.com slash, Dan, check them out. Just give them a shot. Patreonmobile.com slash Dan. All right, fellas, let's go. Here's what we're talking about.

I was going to put this at the end of the show, right, guys? And then, like, a minute ago, I'm like, I'm in a mood today. A good mood. But an adversarial mood. and that I have to, we have to course correct the record, okay? AOC's, but I get it, I get it, I get it. Before you bail out in mass, it's not about her. She is, the liberal left, again, like a high-powered magnet,

are attracted to stupidity. On the liberal left, the dumbest people typically win. It's how you get stuck with people like AOC. She said this the other day about this country and its founding and the billionaires with the talking points. And it is so disgusting, grotesque and an inverse of what, an inverted sense of reality that if we don't correct it and your kids believe it, I'm sorry, this shows for nothing. Check this out. This is in the heritage of our country. Because America was founded.

You look at Thomas Jefferson writing to Madison. in revolt of British aristocracy. The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. That's actually the most American thing in the world for us to be fighting for the working class. And it's actually patently un-American to try to aspire to transform our country into a place. of kings.

Holy Moses, ladies and gentlemen, I get it. This woman has the IQ of like your pet rock. I understand it. But please, please do not ever tell me in the chat or elsewhere. She's irrelevant. She is not irrelevant. I hate when people say that. Just like the black pillars and the doomers,

they are not irrelevant. They are very relevant. They are relevant for the wrong reasons. But us pretending they're not relevant is probably the same thing they said about the Bolsheviks, Lenin and Stalin too. Oh, they're irrelevant, ignore them. They are not irrelevant. They have massive followings

because dumb people believe this shit. Is she unaware of like the Boston Tea Party? She unaware of what the Declaration of Independence was? The whole concept of men being created equal, unalienable rights, did she miss that whole thing? Folks, the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Many of them were very wealthy people who lost their freaking money fighting the revolution. You freaking idiot.

I'm going to play a little clip by Michael Knowles in a second who did a great job with this. However, I'll give you what I grew up in Queens, okay? I've lived all over Queens, New York. I lived right in Bayside, Whitestone. Matter of fact, to where I met Paula. Paula had an apartment in Bayside. It was the first time we went out of the date. I dropped her off at her apartment.

It was like a little place. It was like, I don't know, 400 square feet, this tiny little place. Francis Lewis Boulevard is right there. Francis Lewis Boulevard is named after who? Anyone know? That's great. Gee got it. I was giving him a who's buried in Grant's tomb question.

Francis Lewis. For those of you who are history majors, Francis Lewis was a wealthy businessman of the time during the revolution. The British imprisoned his wife under horrendous conditions I mean, tortured this guy and his business and everything else. He's one of the signers in the Declaration of Independence. He was a wealthy, basically in transatlantic shipping. Do you guys not know this on the left?

Are you freaking stupid all the time? Lefties. How? Oh, gosh, I want to. I can't, the Queens and me needs to come out sometimes so bad, but I understand. I, I, I, Genaro, help me. You go into the merchant, you've got discipline, you play football too.

Genaro didn't even know he can be on the show today. Why, liberals, do you have to be dumb all the time? Is there ever a time you choose not to be stupid? Washington was wealthy. John Hancock was wealthy. Francis Lewis was wealthy. They could have sat on their asses and done nothing and collected their money under the protection of the tyrannical British Empire at the time.

We are going to fight a revolution anyway, even if it cost me every dime. AOC, are you always this stupid? Do you ever tell the truth about anything? Climate change, taxes, eat the rich, while you're swimming in money yourself, you phony, fake. They could have sat on their asses,

American revolutionaries and done jack shit. And they didn't. They wanted to freely practice their religion. They wanted to be free of confiscatory taxation from a distant empire. They wanted to be able to vote for their own leaders and not swear allegiance to the king. Did you miss this shit? Did you go to one history class? Folks, do not ignore this stuff.

I'm telling you as your friend, this woman is very relevant. She's also one of the dumbest human beings you have ever met. I'm not even sure this is misfeasance or mouthfeas. There are a lot of very smart people out there. Liz Warren's very smart. She's very devious, but she's smart. She's not stupid. She knew exactly what she was doing with Pow Wow Chow.

AOC's just really stupid. The problem is dumb people are attracted, again, like high-powered magnets to other dumb people because they don't want to feel dumb. They don't want to be in a room of smart people so they look like idiots. This stuff resonates. The revolution was fought to protect the billioners. Shut up, you idiot. Here's my good friend Michael Knowles,

who's just unbelievable on these matters and affairs. Here's a short clip, about a minute, but really? The billionaires, they were fighting to protect their billions. Meanwhile, going where that cost them. Morons. Check out the great Michael Knowles in response to this. George Washington, the father of our country and the absolutely invaluable,

irreplaceable man of the revolution, was one of the richest men on the continent in his age? At the time of his death in 1799, his estate was valued around $780,000. That's roughly $500 to $600 million today, inflation adjusted. That would have been worth a little under 0.2% of the entire U.S. GDP at the time. Washington was inflation adjusted, if not a billionaire. He probably would have been a billionaire had he not fought in the revolution. But he was pretty close. Other than Washington, we look at another founding father, Robert Morris.

Robert Morris was one of two people to sign the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution. Robert Morris was the single richest man in the American colonies of his day. So not only is AOC a little bit imprecise in her analysis, she is exactly perfectly wrong. She has described the inverse of the American Revolution, which was led, not against the billionaire class, but actually by the very richest men in the entire colony. Hey, man, listen to this. Thank you, Michael. That's fantastic.

Fantastic. I want you ought to listen to me. Friends don't let friends shit on their country, okay? There are, let me tell you something, okay? I've traveled a lot. I've been to, I don't know, it doesn't matter. 40 plus countries easily and probably 50 plus. cities. Liberals are like, what do you mean? There are countries that have multiple cities.

Liberal, I have, you'd be surprised how many dumb liberals would be like, how is that possible? They think there's like one anchor city in the country. You go to places that all human beings are created equal. That's what the Declaration of Independence, you know, embodied that big our God given right. I get that. But not all countries are created equal. That, is axiomatically true. There are a lot of countries out there that have governing structures that are just shit. They're totalitarian, confiscatory, anti-freedom, anti-capitalist.

I tell you that because, folks, I've traveled to countries that don't have one one hundredth of our wealth, our heritage, our allegiance to freedom and liberty and God-given rights. And you know what? The citizens there are proud of their country, even though they couldn't hold a candle to the United States. you come here to the greatest country in earth and you get this class of dipshits, all they do all day is find a way to drop a big, dirty, freaking diaper on the United States. And it's exhausting.

You can see why these kids don't want to defend this place. We got kids that are now, they don't want to take care of themselves. They're not proud of their country. They don't want to live here. Who the hell wants to be in a treehouse with a bunch of dipshits? They don't. You're in a freaking gold-plated treehouse full of wonderful, amazing, people. Look at me, look at the revolution Valley Forge, the Battle of New Orleans and the War of

1812 and Andrew Jackson and what they did down there. Do you have any idea what the unbelievable odds that have been overcome so you can sit in your room right now and play video games on the most advanced, you know, technological tools of our time? You have any idea what people suffered through? Folks, it is your job to teach your kids different. I've been bringing up these little historical tidbits every day. The Elon tweet yesterday about the Nazi party being national socialists. They were national socialists who were concerned about basically collectivize, collective power, the confiscation of the means of production, an overwhelming government force.

That's not a conservative principle, bro. They were leftists. That's just a fact. Oh, yes. What's that? 415 LM-N-E-T-T. Limnette in the chat. I listen every day.

Today's the first day live. Vacation day from our, well, welcome, brother or and sister. It's good to have you live. The live show is the best because they get to interact with. Flag this chat, His Grace 67. Flag it. Sibley says this is why your voice is so important.

It's not just my voice. It's Michael Knowles. I promise you, I appreciate that. It means a lot. I ain't the only voice out there, and Aene is a word for the purpose of this, okay? I'm not the only voice out there, there's a lot of them. But man, you should wake up every day, every single day.

I'm not kidding, and manifest beautiful things in your life. And thank God, capital G God, for being born in this country at this time. While we're on roll with good news, more good news rolling out yesterday. In addition to the economy, I got that coming up in a little bit. Supreme Court vacated in Alabama ruling. Check this out in politics and poll track of breaking news. U.S. Supreme Court vacates.

Alabama District Court order requiring the state to draw a congressional map with two majority black voting districts in a six-two decision. Alabama can now draw a more Republican-friendly map. We're probably going to get another GOP plus one. Point is this. Stop with the doom and gloom and just get out and vote. It's not you. You guys and ladies are great.

You love this country. You'll fight for it. You're like, yeah, take a freaking nuclear war to stop me from voting into midterms. It's the doomers and defense sitters that are always finding something to complain about. There's good news every day. You see the jobs numbers yesterday?

They just destroyed expectations. There's a ton of good things to vote for, man. A ton. You only focus on the bad stuff. That's all you're ever going to see. The placebo effect is real. The power of your mind is an incredible thing. Folks, the left, what we're fighting is we're fighting to get back to some compass with True North

because we're not there anymore. You've seen it a little bit on people infiltrating on our side too that don't want you to trust anything. Anything. That's why I'm so happy Charlie's trial is going to be televised. I have no time for BS and nonsense. My compass points true north, and that's it. We are anchored in facts and reality, and that's all we're going to do. End the story.

You want to get lost in the ecosystem of craziness, you know, Erica Kirk conspiracy nonsense. Do your thing, but this is not the place for you. And that's okay. You do your own thing. You get a compassed and open it once and points north, the next time it points east, the next time. And it's always north.

The east isn't north, okay? The left is seeing this right now. We do not want to become them. Every action is going to have a reaction, and you're seeing it in live time, as faith in institutions absolutely collapses everywhere, and the left did this. They started it years ago.

It wasn't even started with the Russia collusion hoax. It was started with the Bush v. Gore election, with the whole stolen election thing. George W. Bush stole the election from Al Gore. Some of you were old enough to remember that. That is not what happened, okay? Faith in institutions has been collapsing probably before then, but is, I mean, definitely leveled up after the Bush v. Gore election.

It hit peak redline bullshit with the Russia collusion hoax after the 2016 election of Donald Trump. And now, because the left is weaponized so many different institutions from the DOJ to the FBI, to the Pentagon, to HHS, to the EOP, executive office of the president, everything has been weaponized for political reasons. People just don't trust anymore anything. Faith in institutions has been entirely eviscerated.

We can't have that, folks, because again, if faith in institutions is eviscerated, and you trust nothing, even the good guys who went and did their duty and are doing it now to clean the place up, then there's no point. You might as well just plead for anarchy and live by yourself and attend someone. And believe me, you don't want that. We have to fix it. It is up to us to course correct. There's no

other choice. What am I talking about? You may have seen this break yesterday. I got to tell you, even for the left, you may not find this shocking, but I did. This number was staggering in this Washington Post story. Many Americans think the Trump assassination attempts were fake. About one in four say the correspondence dinner shooting was staged, the poll found, including roughly a third of Democrats as conspiracy theories spread widely online. You're telling me 30 plus percent of Democrats, think Donald Trump faked the White House correspondence dinner shooting?

Do you have any idea the level of peak insanity we're talking about right now that if you're in a group of 100 people, 30 to 33 of those people, if they're Democrats, believe the shooting was faked? Do you have any idea how freaking insane that is? Now you're seeing what action reaction looks like. The action went, the action by the left. Every election's been stolen. Every election I take that back.

Every election we lose has been stolen. By the Russians, by Jeb Bush in Florida. Do you remember Bush v. Gore? By the Florida Supreme Court. Donald Trump belongs in prison, impeach him on a made-up BS line about a phone call. This is when faith in institutions collapses, faith in institutions, excuse me, and this is what you get.

Faith and institutions collapse, and this is what you get. You get no compass with a North Star. Here's another one. Look at his tweet. Unacceptably large numbers of people right now, very liberal Americans, say violence can be justified to achieve political goals

compared with 3% of very consistent. conservative Americans. This is bad but good. The bad news is you go in a room of a hundred very liberal nutbags and 25 of them think it's okay to kick you in the freaking balls. That is not good. That is no bueno, man. The good news is you're only going to find three on the conservative side and it shouldn't even be that. Folks, if we don't have a true north, you're going to, you, You know, I know to all the lunatics on the left, the quarter of the very liberal population, that things punching someone in the nuts or something, or God forbid, worse, which they've engaged in, shooting and killing and murdering people is acceptable.

You think that this society will be, take the thread and just pull it up, pull up, put a hole in the bottom of the boat. Folks, they did this through their persistent, persistent attacks on institutions. you look back at polls, you think I'm bullshitting you, go back and look at old polls that, you know, faith in our military, faith in law enforcement, faith in the FBI. I knew what we were dealing when we got there. I knew it. Make no mistake.

Make no mistake. You look at old polls. People were like 80, 90 percent, FBI, military, law enforcement. And then the left started with their election denier bullshit. don't trust anyone. Everyone in government's always stealing elections. This is the leftist thing. And you see, and then get the FBI and DOJ involved,

then get the impeachment process going, then start weaponizing the Pentagon with all the COVID stuff, and everything collapses. They are the ones who did this. They are the ones who did this. You did not do this. I've been accused in all kinds of outlets of being like an election.

that election, I never denied an election happen. I just questioned the mass mail-in-balloting in the 2020 election, given the propensity for fraud and mail-in-balloting, that the New York Times themselves is acknowledged in an article they wrote. I'm an election denier. I don't deny an election. The left are the ones who have fostered uncertainty. He was Nancy Pelosi in an interview that was making the rounds again yesterday on social media.

I want you to listen to this very, clearly. You want to see why there's no compass with True North and why 25% of the liberals out there think political violence is okay, 33%, think that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was staged? It's stuff like this. Check this out. So many things that you can do to protect the election and they are being done, whether it's litigation or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all of that. But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology.

They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count. I don't, I don't we... Justin, you were with us when you were mentioned the voting machines, you were banned from... Remember that? You were banned from YouTube. There were like technology executions going...

summary technology executions before Elon bought Twitter. If you even mentioned that on Twitter, you were like sent to the phantom zone. Remember Superman 2 or Zodd when they put them in the glass? That's where you were banished to, the glass phantom zone. But there's Nancy Pelosi. Did she just not say that? You guys played the clip.

Oh, you got to be careful. They're going to break into the phone. Are voting machines a problem or not? If they are, I don't care of Nancy Pelosi said so we're not. We should check that out, right? Looking at it. in 2020 and Georgia going on right now. Mm-hmm.

However, it's just kind of weird when Nancy Pelosi says it, say, okay. But God forbid, you question it. You definitely need to be banished to the glass screen phantom zone with Zod and the big tall guy and I forget the lady's name. I forget the, I only remember Zod for some reason.

She's not the only one. She's not the only one. The left did this. You want to see why people don't trust elections, don't trust institutions. Blame your local comments. communist slash Democrat because it's the same freaking thing. They hate this place, anything they can do to diminish faith in people who are proud of

this country, which is typically conservatives and Republicans, they will do. Anytime we win, they will try to destroy it. Here's Hakeem Jeffries, just a rotting metastasizing cancer on the left. Here he is in a little montage here talking about, again, illegitimate presidents. You want to, now you want to see why there's no compass true north and why nobody trusts institutions. Blame them, not us. Check this out. A cloud of illegitimacy around the election of Donald Trump. Russia interfered with our election, attacked our democracy for the sole purpose of artificially

placing someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They were successful. There was clearly a cloud of illegitimacy hanging over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. that's growing bigger by the day. There's a cloud of illegitimacy that continues to hang over 1,600 Pennsylvania Avenue. So-called president of the United States. So-called president. So-called president.

Hat tip on X. D. Slopes is back. Got to give the creators their due. Thank you for that. That's Akeem Jeffries. Again, why does nobody trust institutions? Thank your local Democrat. Here's one more gem, just to remind you Democrat jokers out there who've completely inverted history like AOC.

Yeah, the revolution was fought to protect billioners. You're an idiot. Republicans have destroyed faith in institutions. We've done no such thing. We've cleaned them up after you destroyed them. Here's Hillary Clinton saying the same and parroting the same BS line. You want to see why we have no compass true north anymore and nobody agrees on anything? Again, walk into your local Democrat.

office peacefully and patriotically and thank them for destroying faith in institutions. Check this out. He knows he's an illegitimate president. I think it's also critical to understand that as I've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign. You can even become the nominee. And you can have the election stolen from you. Folks, breaking this fever is going to take time.

that's the only piece of not great news I have for you on the Republican side. There is no one better to break this fever than Donald Trump. And he knows it. Yes, Desert Rat 4865 in the shaft. Projection accusing us of what they are doing. Correct. Correct. Go to James Lindsay's working.

Look up Darvo, D-A-R-V-O, and you'll see what they do. It's an inversion of all of it is a distraction from what they're doing, why they try to steal your country away from you by evaporating faith in institutions. Ladies and gentlemen, without fidelity to our founding documents and our law, you have nothing but anarchy. The Constitution's not going to stop someone

from robbing someone in the street. You don't just put up the Constitution like Captain America's Shield. You have to believe in it. And the principle that the person you'd be robbing has an inanealienable right to not be mugged and have the shit kicked out of him. Donald Trump was joking about this yesterday at TDS.

This guy, I'm telling you, I get a secondary career as a comedian, what he's done. I know. The beginning of the show is heavy, but listen, when I'm in a mood, I just got to roll with it. That's why I switched it around today. I'm going to take a quick break, and we'll get right back to that. Hey, summertime expenses in 2026 are stacking up faster than ever.

So it's going to take a long time to break this fever, ladies and gentlemen. It's taken the Democrats. Say we started 2000. It's happened before that with the Bush v. Gore election,

but it's taken them decades upon decades to ruin where we are right now and turn this golden tree house into a treehouse of dirty diapers, okay? That's what they're trying to do. It's going to take a long time to clean out and disinfect this mess. You like that? The tree house is dirty. Well, that's good. I never said it before.

Here's Donald Trump yesterday in the Oval Office. Just doing a great job. I got to tell you, the I, He's obviously being kind of a bit silly and funny. He's like, I got an idea to get things past, this revolutionary idea that they can help people on the Democrat side get over their TDS. It's actually a pretty great idea, impractical, but an amazing idea. Check this out. Well, they suffer from Trump's derangement syndrome, if they don't even know what they're looking at.

They can't even see straight. But I have a new way out. I'm going to propose something the opposite of what I want, and we will have mass of amounts. of legislation. No, just all that to do is, we will not build the wall. Diabolical question. No, I'm going to do it. I'm going to go the opposite. Whatever is bad, I'm going to go for it, and they'll approve what's good finally. No, they've got serious trumped arrangements syndrome, which actually is a disease. I'm hearing it is actually a disease. Whether it's a functional virus or not, I am unsure. I am not a virologist. I don't know what

are not, are not or lethality would be of the TDS virus or even if it's real. I will tell you this, though. He's joking, obviously, but you and I know damn well what he's saying is true. If Donald Trump were to come out tomorrow and say, you know what, we're never building the wall under any circumstances. I will not allocate another dollar of public funds to this wall. The Democrats would come out and accuse him of being against public safety. It's just true. It's just true. They don't, there's no guiding principle. true north on the left at all. None. Everything they do, ladies and gentlemen, is a dance, like that Tennessee guy. Everything they do is a performance. By they, I mean the left.

I'm really sorry, but that's just a fact. Again, shrouded his opinion, but it's a fact. It's based in fact. Everything they do is a performance. They will lick their finger, see where the winds go. Oh, I saw this. This was great. TDS, the treatment. And trusting in Trump, listen to National Anthem, Limit Fake News. Don't be a panic. And I saw it. Is that from the White House? That's it.

There's your car. Maybe Dr. Roz wrote that script. Folks, everything the left does is a freaking dance. It's all performative. It's all bullshit. All the time. Here, I want to show you this clip of Raphael Warnock, a really awful senator from how, in Georgia.

I don't get it. I don't understand. I don't get how Georgia is stuck with these two absolute zeros in the Senate. To my Georgia friends, please. They got to go, man. We've got to do better in the next election with him. All soft's up now. He's got a whole bunch of problems with the SPLC and elsewhere.

Vote him out. Here's Raphael Warnock. I want you to pay very close attention to this. This is what I'm talking about by leftist. and progressives being all about performance and the dance and never about actual spreadsheets and results ever listen to him call out how the sit just like aOC the system the system is rigged what system you're in charge bro you're in charge what are you talking about check this out everyday people know that the system is stacked against them they know it in their bones and they

They don't always have the words, you know, that we want to use. They know it. Do they feel like they can change it? They feel it. Yeah, I think that's that, you know, something, you know, that's the thing. Do people feel empowered to change it? And I do think that there are a lot of people who feel powerless, which is why they signed up for Donald Trump. You asked me that question earlier.

Let me ask it, answer it more directly. I think that there are people, and I do think it's overstated. Donald Trump didn't have this whole huge slew of black men voting for them. I think part of that was a question. game they played during the election in 24. I think they were trying to create a permission structure, a bandwagon, so people would jump on it. But they weren't, there weren't overwhelming.

It was, one is too many, but they weren't overwhelming numbers of black men voting for Donald Trump. Okay. It's the part of the show where, I don't know, maybe it'd be controversial. I don't know. The only reason to be controversial is because it's true. Liberals never want to hear this. Can I just talk for a second?

I'm not talking to everyone, but specifically to viewers of my show who are black and Hispanic. Do you understand how F'd you guys and ladies are getting right now by guys like this? The system's keeping you down. The system, if you're doing a probability equation and you live in a majority or even where there's a decent size plurality of black or Hispanic voters, there is a very good chance, an overwhelming chance, that the main, of the town or city you live in is a Democrat, Baltimore, all kinds of other places. There is a damn good chance you're being led by them. So that's the system.

That's the system, correct? You live in a governing system he's talking about. So I pulled some numbers. I went to GROC because I figured, you know, we should use a non-insane AI once in a while. I went to GROC and I asked it a simple question. This is a screenshot of my phone, my actual phone. of the top 20 highest crime rate cities in the U.S., how many are led by Republican mayors or executives?

I figured I'd broaden out, you know, county executive or whatever it is. So it had to think a minute. Gee, what number to come up with? Gee's like, it came up with something that looks like a donut. It's a zero, a freaking zero. Dear Senator Warnock, leave this up, Keith. That's the system. You're the system.

Zero of the top 20 highest crime rate cities by violent crime per 100,000 residents are led by Republican mayors. I'm sorry, it's not funny at all. The tragically comical part is that people fall for this on Pod Save America, the left-leaning podcast show. By the way, has a huge audience too. These guys are relevant. They're not irrelevant. They have a massive audience. Top five everywhere.

people listen to this stuff there are people out there listening to Raphael Warnock not just black and Hispanic voters young white impressionable voters too yeah bro the system really effed me over they're the system the Democrats you are dying

in these high crime areas not because of Republicans we're not in charge down there you did not vote us in you voted in Democrats for generations that have given you this they've given you shit. At what point do you say I demand accountability? What company? What baseball team? What football

team? Would you allow to lose every single game for every year or company to never turn a profit without turning over the leadership? No one. So why are you doing it in these towns, cities and municipalities where your kids are being gunned down? The economy is shit. The GDP growth is terrible, the jobs are terrible, and your supermarket is like a bodega or a corner store. Why are you allowing this to happen without a leadership turnover? Anyone? Josh, why? You're here.

You shouldn't have walked out. Tell me why. He doesn't know why. Nobody knows why. He's like, I don't know, Dan. By the way, someone should tell communist representative Premier Jayapal that Seattle is one of these places that's been led by far-left Democrats for a very long time. As a crazy lunatic, Katie Wilson, whatever her name, in charge now.

Premier Jayapal put this out the other day. Seattle's got one of the worst housing crises in the country. I see it every time I'm in my home district. People can't afford rent. This is a policy failure, not an inevitability. We built this crisis by choosing developers over people. we can choose differently. We can choose differently.

This is hilarious as if the Democrats have not run Seattle into the ground. Is she unaware of that? Pramila Jaya Bell. Did you miss this? Oh, thank you, guys. As of May 26, Seattle is not elected a Republican mayor in over five decades. You're the system, Pramila Jayapal.

Guys, I can't take the inversion in rewriting a history, man. Teach. Remember that song? Teach your children. You have to go out and teach your kids this. These places that have descended into crime-infested economic hellholes are run by Democrats and have been for generations. They are the system.

You want to go fight the man? They're the man. You want to go fight this system? They're the system. They're the system. That's why I say, oh, this may sound like it. It's not an opinion. It's based in fact.

Seattle is not led by. Republicans. The top 20 cities for crime are not led by Republicans. That's not Dan's opinion. That is a freaking fact, objectively. That is an objective fact. You want to see what it looks like, by the way? When younger folks get the truth just slams them right in the face, I saw this video making the rounds on social yesterday. It's a Canadian woman. And she hears this statistic that the overwhelming majority of crime, which I've told you over and over, this is not a crime-infested country, the United States. The Democrats want you to believe that so that they don't have to take responsibility for the pockets of the country they run that are crime-infested.

So they want you to believe crime is everywhere. It is not. Jasmine, on the way to work, how many carjackings have you witnessed? Zero. She's given us the zero sign. She's like, Big donut, Dan. It is not everywhere. The Democrats and their blue cities own the crime problem. This is what it looks like when a Canadian young lady gets red-pilled, figuring out that this statistics she saw is pretty close to accurate. Just watch this video.

Check this out. Canadian, I was 100% led to believe that America was just dangerous all over the place and you were just going to dodge bullet the second that you walked outside of the house. So, fun fact, this. statistic right here just changed how I view everything. It's true. One study found that over half of all murders in the United States happened in just 2% of the counties. Now let's think about that for a second. The United States of America has over 3,000 counties and a majority of murders are concentrated in a tiny fraction of them. Meanwhile, over half of the U.S. counties had zero murders and around

68% of counties had either zero or one murder for the entire year. year. So what does that mean? That means that the violence people see on TV and in the media is incredibly geographically concentrated. It's not evenly spread all over the United States like you're told and people imagine. And as a matter of fact, a huge percentage of violent crime is tied to very specific areas. Gang activity, drug activity, repeat offenders, trafficking and poverty, heavy urban pockets. That's the only Canadian bacon on TikTok. She's correct. She's correct. about the general premise of the video. Crime is not pervasive in the United States.

Crime is pervasive in cities and towns run by Democrats like dancing guy in Tennessee, who's supposed to be looking after Tennessee and Memphis and is busy dancing. I never heard a word from this guy in the FBI. Not a word, Justin Pearson. Not a peep. While we were doing Operation Viper

cleaning up Memphis. This is this broken windows policing. This is why it worked. This is what they're dancing. This is everything they do is a performance. Everything. Guys, listen, I'm not an evangelist, okay? I'm just a guy who gets pissed off at stupid stuff.

I'm not telling you, again, that the Republican Party has all the answers all the time. We've got our own knuckleheads in our party. Believe me, I get it. I'm just telling you that you haven't even given what the worst Republican a shot because you've had Democrats in charge for 60 years. There's no one, you can't even blame the worst Republican out there because you've never elected one. No less a good one like a Rudy Giuliani went and cleaned up New York.

You know how many people are alive today because of Rudy Giuliani and what he did in New York City? I say this all the time to people when they ask me about how we crushed violent crime in 2025. the best year the FBI ever had, ever, by far. Murder rate down double digits. And the answer is really simple. How many murderers do you know? The answer is probably none.

Why? Because it's very rare. Once you find people who are in gangs who will kill people, assassinate people and do other things, gang murders and you pull them off the street, they don't kill people. There's not a lot of them. This is not a country plagued by violence.

That's a left-wing talking point. And it's an attempt to remove responsibility from the AOCs, the Hakeem Jeffries of the world, the Justin Pearson's of the world, and others who are in charge of areas where pockets of crime are out of control, and they want you to believe the problems everywhere when it's not. This administration, President Trump, J.D., Marco Rubio, Cash, Todd, they are absolutely tip of the spear problem is public safety for them and they're going to clean it up broken windows policing however is not just limited to violent crime ladies and gentlemen white collar crime is a big deal in this country too crypto scams everything people lose their

livelihoods vice president vance is now in charge of this task force that's a big deal when you put the vice president in charge of something believe me he is an results oriented guy you do not want to be at the FBI, DEA, or elsewhere. He's in charge. And then they asked, what did you do this week? I had nothing. I was sitting on my ass. That's not the way that's going to roll. That's how important this fraud scheme in Minnesota, California, and other states. It's all over the country. Florida and elsewhere, we have the problem, too, is to the president. He put J.D. Vance in charge. He did an interview essay with Nick Shirley.

Here's a quick cut from the interview. This is important because there's a couple of things I want to point out about this interview that should ring your bell. Check this out. Now that we have the Fraud Task Force here inside the United States, what will you guys be doing different than something that we haven't done before to tackle fraud here? Well, two really big things, Nick. So the first of all is we're going to be coordinating across the government in a way that's really never been done before to focus on anti-fraud. So let's say, for example, that Scott Bissin or somebody at the Secretary of Treasury's Office sees a fraudulent payment made. But it's not, you know, it's not at the Treasury Department. It's at the Center for Medicare or Medicaid.

There's going to be coordination now so that when one person in the government sees, fraud happening, they're actually telling everybody else so that we can get to the root of it and hopefully prosecute it. And that leads them to my second point, and maybe the most important is we've never before within the Department of Justice had a committed anti-fraud task force, a committed assistant attorney general who's focused on the fraud issue. What our new AAG focused on fraud has told me that right now we don't even prosecute fraud that's under $1.5 million, which means there's a lot of fraudsters who never get caught, who never get punished, or changing that too.

I don't want to read another bullshit article from the left wing media that, oh, they're pushing violent crime, they're letting property crime go. They are not. They are not. Three points about this. J.D. Vance is the vice president.

He's in charge. I'm telling you, haven't worked in the government. When you're answering to the vice president's office, you better have a damn answer like every freaking day about what you did. Number one. Number two, he's not wrong about the coordination.

They have meetings in the White House situation room in the skiffs down there all the time. You get the deputies and the principals in the room. Everybody's, and you'll have like a Miller or Tony Salisbury. They'll be sitting at the front of the table, and you better, you better produce something. You better not come in there with like, oh, you know, I don't know nothing about nothing about that. That's not the way this works. And in third, he brought up a great point.

There are these things in the executive branch under DOJ called blanket declinations. If a property crime doesn't reach a certain amount of money, it's really hard to prosecute it federally because they just don't have a lot of United States attorneys. That was probably too high, and he mentioned like $1 million. So when you bump that down, that's going to be more people who can get flushed into the federal system, which is a lot harder on property crime.

These are big things. They're big things that are happening. But again, it's going to take time, folks, to reestablish faith in government. Because the Democrats are doing everything they can, invert history, get your kids to hate this Clubhouse America, we belong to.

They're doing everything they can to lie to them about eat the rich. The rich don't pay their fair share. Government health care is the solution. Go government. People don't even like to go to the government for the freaking DMV to get their driver's license. You want some government official telling you when you can crack your chest open because you just had a heart attack? You had good luck with that shit.

The Democrats just got smoked in this Virginia redistricting effort where they tried to gerrymandered the state and basically destroy any Republican representation for the state of Virginia. John Turley's a pretty great lawyer. He does some commentary for Fox. He was talking about this on Fox the other day, how the Democrats, you would think they would, if they were sane, which they're not, you would think they would now back down

and realize that their own Supreme Court smoked them. But that's not what they're doing. Because we're not dealing with sane people. We're dealing with irrational actors. And if you don't understand that, you're fighting a wrong fight. Check this out. Sack and PAC proposal really captures this.

age of rage. It captures the fact that now many on the left are saying that we will win by any means necessary. And this is a very important issue for Hakeem Jeffries. He's very unpopular with most people in the country, but he hopes to be the next Speaker of the United States. But in order to do that, he's got to engineer a majority. He's got to get Democrats there in the House to vote for him. He's watching that evaporate across the country. So these radical ideas are nothing new, but I think the public needs to understand that many of these same voices have been saying publicly that they will pack the Supreme Court as well. As soon as they take power, many Democratic pundits and politicians have said that they want to pack the Supreme Court to create an instant liberal majority. It's the same mindset of by any means necessary.

No institution, no value is truly sacred. They are not messing around. They are not messing around the left. They are not kidding. Why is this important right now? Right now this second? Because the SAVE Act and the filibuster are being held on to, excuse me, like clung to like a koala bear like clings to the mama bear

by institutional Republicans who are somehow convinced that they're dealing with the old Democrat party, like the old Tip O'Neill Reagan, you know, Halcyon days, which weren't really true, but they talk about all the time. You know my five-point plan. Dump the filibuster, passed the Save Act, reform the census, get the redistricting under control and control the border. The country will change forever. However, notice the two of those.

We have got to dump the filibuster. I can't understand. Maybe the Democrats in the Senate are telling Republicans in the Senate, trust me, bro. I don't know. I have no reason to believe any of that's actually. true. These institutionalists are holding on, maybe it's lobbyists, I don't know, to a filibuster relic. Remember, the House, you just need a majority. It's very simple. You don't need a majority in the Senate. You need a filibuster-proof majority. If we had a majority in the Senate,

the Republicans, which we do now, we have the numbers, over 50, we have enough, we could pass the Save Act if we didn't have to get past the filibuster hurdle. But they're holding on to it, because they're under this ridiculous belief that the Democrats are not going to scrap the filibuster when they're saying the exact opposite. Remember what Turley just said. Sack and pack. Sack the justices, pack to court. Sack the justices, pack to court.

That's what they're trying to do in Virginia. That's what they're going to do the second they take power. They've already said it. No, they haven't. You got Hakeem Jeffries number two? Don't listen to me. Dan, you're crazy. Am I?

Okay, maybe you think I'm crazy. Is Hakeem Jeffrey's crazy too? Here's Akeem Jeffries talking about radical measures when they get in charge to do exactly what I just said and basically hijack power, take power of all three levers of government back. Check this out. We've got to, for instance, make sure we pass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act so we can end the era of voter suppression in the United States of America once and for all. We have to end Citizens United dramatically reform our campaign finance laws to stop the ability of these deep, special interests to intervene. And we are going to have to explore massive judicial reform, state by state and at the federal level,

and everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned. You just listen to a man. I don't, the guys in the Senate, the Republicans in the Senate, and the ladies on the Republican side, do you know something we don't? They are openly talking about stealing back institutions. By engaging in malfeasance the second they're going to do everything they can.

Everything. They're going to try to add new states. They're going to pack the Supreme Court. Dumping the filibuster isn't malfeas. It's just a rule change. But they're going to do it. They're already talking about it. How much more do you know?

What else do you need to hear? Things should be on the table as far as I'm concerned. You think this is going to stop them? Here's a guy running in Maine, this guy, Graham Platner. This is the Nazi tattoo guy. running on the Democrat ticket. You really believe this guy who made some really inappropriate comments about

the sexual assault and women and all this stuff. This is their guy now in Maine. You think this is going to be the guy who's going to protect the institution? Oh, we've got to protect the institution, not dump the filibuster. Listen to this audio interview he did where he's asked about the Nazi tattoo.

If a Republican was running with a Nazi tattoo, they would tar and feather his ass. They love this guy. however, because why? Because they'll invert everything. They have no principles. They don't care about any of this stuff. They care about the raw exercise of weaponized power. That is it. Check this out. What's been the worst part? Or some of the worst part. People insisting that I was a Nazi. Yeah. That was fun. That was a real special fucking mother in my life. Yeah. And then also this kind of, this sort of conflation with like saying stupid shit on the internet.

internet as being like somehow like this irreparable thing that is going to so obviously must mean exactly who you are. I'm like, what the fuck, man. And the thing is I don't know any normal people that actually will think like that. You know, like it's because it's kind of nuts. You think this guy is going to protect the institution. Him Raphael Warnock, Liz Warren. Are you serious? Bernie Sanders. I don't understand, guys. I get it. I'm trying to focus our political fire

in the right direction here to make sure that we can marshal our resources and not spread ourselves too thin. But you really believe that this crop of Democrat centers they have in there now, outside of Federman, they're all lunatics.

Let me take a quick break and I want to show you something else here. I want to show you a, math equation out of New York that's going to blow your mind. I saw this yesterday. I was reading an opinion piece that I thought that can't be right. And I looked it up and it's right. You're going to say to yourself, if you are a resident of any liberal city in America, I want you to read or listen to what I'm about to read to you, this number, and tell me again how we're crazy and you guys got your heads out. You guys got your heads point in the right direction.

I saw this yesterday and how there aren't Spencer Prats running in every blue city in America. That is the system that's screwing you, Raphael Warnock. The man, rage against the machine, whatever. The machine is run by liberals, okay?

Blue City mayors, the Mamdamis. Karen Bass, they're running these places into the ground. So I'm reading this op-ed about education spending in New York yesterday. Listen, I'm a big school choice advocate. So I follow the data pretty well. But this blew me away. So was it Jeff Yass who wrote this? Wall Street Journal.

It's about school spending. They are spending in New York $42,000 per student. Yeah, Jeff, yes. The article is called Mamdami. he can make moms into millionaires. 42,000 per student. Jeff Yass says, I got an idea. How about we take that 21,000

and we give it to the parents to just pick a school? You're like, well, that's not 42,000 that's half. So he says, we're going to take the 21,000, put in a real account, the other half, for which the child is the sole beneficiary. If it returns only 2%, a 2% return, that's not hard, folks, $2%.

Invest in a T bill, you'll get more than that. If it returns 2% over the next 13 years, the child will graduate high school with $300,000. Enough for college, trade school, or a down payment on home. Given $300,000 to a graduate who can read, write, do math,

and adios to the affordability crisis. No more need for $30 million government grocery stores, free buses, or rent control. He notes, this is what hit me. This solution, such an obvious win. I'm confident Mr. Mom Dami once he hear it will agree and change the policy. He's being sarcastic. Obviously, he will not. Why will Mom Dami not change the policy? Because it's not about the money. It's not about the education. It is about power. And when the

locus of control changes from government, controlling the money and sending your kid to a shit school, back to a parent who gets their tax money back, and now the parent is the locus of control, the whole essence of collectivism, government control, centralized government power, leftist socialism, progressive, liberal communist bullshit falls apart because it doesn't work if they can't control the resources. The resources are the power. Yes is being sarcastic for a reason.

$42,000 a student? What the, are you doing with that money, bro? Or you could trust in good conservative leadership. like this new MAGA movement, where we got an unbelievably good job number. Now, I'm going to play this Peter St. Angecove about the job numbers, but I want you to listen to this part of it. This part's important because the AOCs and the others in the imbecile class wants you to believe that the Trump economic revolution here

is only benefited the billionaires. That's not what the job numbers that just popped huge showed at all. This has been more of a blue-collar revolution construction in other areas. Ladies and gentlemen, those are just the numbers. I know on the left that makes you uncomfortable that the Republican Party and the MAGA movement is now the party in the middle class

while you're the party of the rich, you know, white Karens who are sitting there bitching and moaning all the time watching AOC videos about the billionaires and all this other dumb shit. Listen to Peter St. Angie. That's fantastic work on. economics, job numbers, financial, just amazing stuff, on the jobs numbers. Check this out. The American economy added 115,000 jobs last month, crushing expectations of just 65. Considering

our labor force is actually shrinking deport, baby deport, that is pure profit, mainstream media was hardest hit, partly because AP journalists are losing their jobs to chat GPT, so for them it is a jobs Armageddon. But also because legacy media, has been praying to the Ouija board for a Trump crash, hoping Saturn will finally punish the peasants, not today, Saturn. In raw numbers, the VLS said we gain 115,000 jobs in April, taking average payrolls this year to 76,000 a month in gains, which is about double last year's pace, that left the unemployment rate unchanged at a tame 4.3%, where it's been for roughly a year. The biggest jump was 84,000 blue-collar jobs with,

growth in construction, manufacturing, retail transport, warehousing, mining, and utilities. Sounds like a blue-collar revolution to me, only if you believe in facts and data and not AOC like, yeah, the billionaires did it. Maybe stop thinking about the billionaires and start worrying about your own constituents in your own life. You ever try that once in a while? Now, because the show does facts and not bullshit, there was some not so great. news. The inflation number came in a little bit hot. We're not near Biden levels. Thankfully, the peak at 9 percent he hit. But it did come in a little bit hot. We'll come in a little bit hot, which the president's acknowledged a lot of its fuel prices from what's going on in Iran,

but that's expected to wrap up hopefully relatively soon, just going by his words. And we'll get a hold of that. But notice how the left can't do any of that. All they want to feed you is their horseshit all the time. A couple more things. want to get to. President Trump is headed to China for what is going to be an extremely important meeting with our most significant world rival. There's a really, really great piece if you're interested by Thomas Dusterberg called in Wall Street Journal. Trump heads to Beijing with a strong hand. Just a couple of points on this, folks. To the fatalistic doomers out there who are constantly telling us, he's the same people who told us the Soviet Union was going to bury us. China's a big

concern. I've told you that over and over. Zero doubt about it. Some of their ability through technology to surveil us, to infiltrate a lot of our infrastructure is very concerning. They have an enormous population, a rather large military. The weaponry is sophisticated enough to cause significant problems. There's no doubt. However, this article is great because, again, just like I did, I gave you the good news and the bad news. The good news, there is, I just gave you the bad news. The good news is this, a couple of points in that piece. China's in the midst of an enormous demographic decline due to their one child policy,

which was a disaster. Their unemployment rate is actually quite high. Their local governments are bankrupt in garbage money and loans they've lent out to just to juice up the economy with shitty garbage, you know, non- hurdle rate producing projects. They have a massive amount of debt and keep endlessly printing new money. The only reason they don't have runaway inflation is because it's an isolated walled off economy, which is a whole different set of problems.

No investor wants to invest there. You can never pull your money out. They're theft economy stealing our technology. You can't build an economy because to steal technology, it has to be invented first. You ever go to business school, Porter's Five Forces? there's a first mover advantage. You may say, Dan, them stealing is a big problem. It's a huge problem.

But it also means they have to steal something. It has to be invented first. And when you're the first mover, we have the advantage. And the biggest problem China has, which President Trump knows, is they can't feed themselves. And they're not sitting on pools of oil and liquid natural gas like we are. They can't do any of that, feed or power themselves. So don't listen to the doom and gloom class that always want you to believe,

or, you know, all going to be speaking Mandarin in 10 years? I can't stand that stuff. Yes, there's a lot to be concerned about. There's also a lot of good things and a lot of power levers President Trump has, and he's not going to be bullied by Xi Jinping. I promise yet. That's not his bag of donuts. You know, I love my health hacks.

So here's today's Maha moment of the day. I am absolutely committed to making America healthy again. I just got one of my scans I do every couple of years just to make sure everything is okay. So I'm kind of anxiously awaiting the results of that. But I saw this post yesterday on Twitter, and this is kind of an easy one for you. Vivek Gupta put this out there. Ladies and gentlemen, never ever skip leg day. I see this all too often with people who start working out.

Listen, guys are doing their 10 squats an hour. Geese doing them right now. obviously make sure you can work out first, see your doctor, get your blood pressure check, do all that stuff. However, if you are capable and you can resistance train, weight train, whatever you want to call it, do not skip leg day. I get it when you're hanging out at the sandbar down in Jupiter or something like that. You're into waste deep water, which is higher sometimes out of Jupiter sandbar.

You've got to take like a paddleboarder, man. Nobody sees you're like, it doesn't matter. Your legs are almost 50% of your muscle mass. I have a really, really horrendous left knee. It is like the arthritis in there is bad. And I still train legs twice a week. You got to do it, man. Those muscles are like repositories of amino acids, glucose dumping systems.

You have a bunch of excess sugar floating around your system. You got to train legs. I would argue to you if, if you had an exercise gun through your head, and they said you have to train one thing or the other, legs are upper body. would actually prefer legs. Of course you should do both. Do not skip leg day. They are huge enormous muscles. You got to train them. Go check out there. There are thousand videos out there and rumble and screw tube and elsewhere. You can pick out Instagram. Go to any fitness coach. They'll tell you how to, you know, squats, leg presses, knee, leg extensions, leg curls.

Got to train legs. Super important. Big, huge muscles. And you don't want to lose your balance as you get older. You don't what the leading causes of death is for people over 70 and 80 falls because they have weak legs and they can't balance themselves. Don't do that. There's your maha moment for the day.
