All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. All right, let me say in advance again for the second time this week. How much I really, really despise doing this. This show was never intended to be a back and forth between lunatics. It was intended to go after the left and intended to be informative. I've said a thousand times, hat-tip, boogie-down productions. The show was meant to be edutainment.

You can look that up. Educational entertainment. It succeeded for 10 years because we never get into this back and forth. I've said to you a thousand times, asked audience archivist Judy, how I don't like Republican on Republican political violence because the opponent is so much more dangerous. However, if you're going to go public on a show and accuse me and the president of basically a federal crime of obstruction of justice and claim you have the text,

and then somehow forget that I have them too. Oki-dokey. Want to play ball? Let's play ball. I didn't ask for this fight. I'm not even interested in it. But Nipo Baby Tucker and his loser life zero of a brother, unlike him, I'm not going to throw out unfounded allegations.

I don't know. Is he getting foreign money? I have no idea. I wouldn't save. I don't know. And I don't know that. And I don't particularly, you know, care to spend a thousand hours doing like one of these six-part investigations.

However, it seems awfully odd that he just keeps throwing these allegations out there, claims to have this secret information, conversations he had. But he never actually shows any evidence of anything. Sounds familiar, right? I got that. I've got a lot more on the show today. Senator Rick Scott coming up later. We've got a lot to talk about,

including a video I saw on the interwebs that really made me laugh for all the wrong. I'm telling you, like, I saw this, and I'm thinking, is this thing real? It was real. A lot to talk about today. Hey, it feels like our country finally has momentum again, with so many of us fighting to restore common sense

and America first. We've seen this before, though. Sometimes people get comfortable and the left starts taking back ground, inch by inch, and then we look surprised at you. Don't let it happen. America needs every one of us in this fight and a big part of this means supporting companies

that actually stand for our values. That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile.

Again, I hate doing this. And let me also get on the record here. And Tucker, I know you're watching. So welcome because you can't stay away because you realize you're about. to be just totally destroyed and humiliated yet again. However, I, as a matter of practice, do not publish people's personal texts, even if they make me look great and someone look stupid or I will not do that. However, if you're going to reference something like personal texts and claim you have them

proving that a federal crime was committed, the obstruction of justice in one of the most important critical cases of our time, the investigation in Butler, I have an obligation to put those out there. I don't do this. I hate doing it. I've never published any of my texts in a thousand other scenarios where it would have been advantageous to us. But if you're going to claim this,

and you say that on Mario Nafals program, whatever thing he's got going on X, then now we're going to produce receipts. Okay, so let's get to it. First, I want to tell you, I did not publish this book. It's been around forever. However, I strongly encourage you to read this book.

I have nothing to do with it. I have no financial interest in it at all. But there's a book by M. Scott Pek, he has since passed. It's called People of the Lie. It is a amazing book about what real human evil looks like. And it's not just about the stuff like evil, like Jason Voorhees, Freddie Kruger stuff. You know, we get that, like serial killers. We understand.

That's fairly obvious. This is a different book. M. Scott Peck was a psychotherapist who was astounded and fascinated. frankly, by sociopaths, who were not serial killers. They may not have been, they never committed a crime. But their entire lives were about hiding their own failures by lying about their failures and blaming other people. It's a really fascinating account how evil people, you know, attack others in order to cover up their own failures in their life. The reason I'm telling you to read this book, it's amazing. I've read it a couple times. I've mentioned it on the show,

is when you read this book about how people who cannot stop lying and you wonder why they do it like Tucker and others in the space who I've mentioned before, read the book and you'll see why they do it. It's not about you. It's not about them. It's about the person doing the person in the chair making it up. They're hiding themselves. It's a shame because I was friends with this guy for a long time. I didn't start this fight, but I'm going to finish it.

So let's get to it. first you're going to see this same pattern with people like Tucker Carlson and podcastistan and it's a shame again we have to cover this but I want you to pay attention and please if you've ever taken notes on the show whether mentally write them down I mean it take these notes now because you're going to see the same pattern replicate itself over and over in chaos agents every single time number one claim to people you have secret information or a data point but never actually tell people what the secret information is. I heard on a phone call.

Someone told me, I'll release tomorrow. Coming up soon, what's going on in this case? This guy didn't do it. Joey Bag of Donuts didn't shoot John Smith. I know who did. Who is it? I don't know. We'll get to it tomorrow.

I talked to the president. He said, really, that's interesting. I did too. I can actually provide receipt. That's fascinating. You're accusing us of a cover? up of the butler case he was shot in the head he's covering up his a claim to have secret information that's step one a data point but never actually tell people what it is you never produce an email

showing this cover up nothing matter of fact when evidence services that there was in fact no cover up and an effort to get people information you just ignore it and move on to the next thing step two present a bunch of information to people without evidence i've used this examiner over and over again, but we'll bring Justin into the mix. Justin, you know, lives in South Florida with me. If there is a bank robbed in South Florida and Justin has an account at that bank, present evidence in the show showing a screenshot of Justin's account at the bank. And go, I don't know, man, suspicious, right?

Meanwhile, when the bank was robbed, if it was even robbed at all, sometimes like Tucker today's just making this whole thing up. But if there was a bank even robbed, Tucker was in Alaska when it happened. I mean, excuse me, Justin. And yet Tucker will say, hey, Justin had a bank account at the bank, but never, it's information. Yes, that's correct. But it's not evidence. All information is an evidence.

Matter of fact, the mark of a moron and an imbecile and people in podcast the standard do this is they overload you with information. And they never like a sieve make it actual evidence. The mark of a good investigator is eliminating suspects that have useless information and getting down to information that actually matters and proves a case. morons do the opposite, like Tucker. Is he doing it on purpose because he's a person of the lie? Or is he doing it because he's just an idiot? The answer is, I don't know. I thought he was an intellectual guy,

but now I'm really starting to wonder if he's actually just a moron. The third marker you can see, in addition to I have secret information, here's a bunch of information without actual evidence of anything. The third one you see is that tune in tomorrow. I've got a special series going on on this ongoing investigation I'm conducting with secret information. This happens all the time. Isn't the grift fairly obvious? So I want to show you what I'm talking about.

I woke up to this this morning and a bunch of people texting me that, by the way, nobody actually believes this guy anymore because he's lied so often. Tucker, here he was on Mario Nafal's show, making an allegation, claiming to have evidence in text, which I'll now show you my text, because I have them too. I think he forgot that. And I'm going to show you how the secret information he claims to have, I'm going to make public.

So now it's not secret. So I have the receipts. He has not yet displayed these. I will. Because I'll show you how what he's telling you in this clip that there's some investigation to Butler that's been shut down, I'm going to bring the receipts to show you all this is fake. If you choose to listen to this Nipo baby imbecile after this,

that's on you. But this is going to be a 100% proof positive case. that this guy is lying to you yet again because he likes it, because he's a person of the lie. Check this out. I know that about Butler. I know that Trump shut down the investigation into Butler. That is a fact. Dan Bungino told me that

when he worked at the FBI. And Dan Buncino himself was terrified when I spoke to him in December. It's such a long boring story, but basically I came into possession, I beg your pardon, of accidentally came into possession of

a lot of the social media posts that we were told didn't exist, that were posted by Thomas Crooks in the months and years before the shooting. And I was amazed that the FBI had lied about this. So I called Cash Patel, and I later called Dan Bongino, and I says, you know, what is this? I'm not attacking you.

It was the previous FBI administration that did this. It was Chris Ray, but what is this? And Dan Bongino became hysterical with me on the phone. I've known Dan a long time for many years and always got him along with him, you know, whatever his faults said, Nice guy. Certainly very nice to me.

I never had a problem with Dan ever. And that problem began when I brought this information to his attention. And he became a different person. He was clearly terrified. I didn't get it at first, but he was hysterical. And ultimately, after a long series of text exchanges, which I still have, and phone conversations, he said, look, take it up with Trump. He's the one who shut down the investigation.

And that was, I think, the first or second week of December. I think it was the beginning of the second week of December. I haven't written down. But that was the moment and I realized, oh, wow. You know, there's no good explanation for shutting down an investigation into your own attempted murder. Like, this is not what we've been told it was.

Okay. So let's try to be rational. Number one, guys, you've known me a long time. I was terrified of Tucker. I am terrified of tarantulas. I got a thing, maybe a little bit of arachnophobia. you. Folks, let me say to you just crystal clear, I'm not, this is not a pretend tough guy act. I'm a 51-year-old man with decaying joints. I'm not, I don't plan on fighting anyone in the UFC.

There's no violence is never the answer to anything. I'm not interested in any of that. But I'm going to tell you straight, if you think I was terrified of fucker Tarlson, then I'm really sorry, like you need to take yourselves as annex and go find a doctor, right? Of all the things, like that's the most hilarious. However, accusing me and the president of a federal crime obstructing justice, bizarrely, the president involved

in covering up the investigation into his own attempted murder is seriously one of the most delusional things I've ever seen. And the reason I'm really starting to believe and I mean this sincerely that Tucker's just dumb. I don't have any, is he doesn't realize, like, I have these texts too.

I never do this, but if you're going to refer to text alleging we committed a crime, I'm going to put it at them. But first time, well, let's address his two points. He says that the president shut down the Butler investigation. Totally, completely, 100% made up. But we did a full interview with Brooke Singman from Fox, which to all the people who, by the way, think Tucker's for real. If you think I'm doctoring any of this, please go look this article up yourself. Don't trust me, trust the evidence. Here it was November 21st, even before Tucker

says he spoke to me in December. Exclusive. FBI concludes Trump shooter crooks acted alone after unprecedented global investigation. Now he says the investigation was shut down. Yet here it is on the record in November. Again, the Tucker fans will apologize for him until the end of time. because they just can't give up the Kool-Aid. Let me read this to you in case you're a Tucker fan who can't read. The case, that's the crooks case, he says was shut down, currently sits in a pending inactive status. Wait, keep this up.

Andy, does that say the case is closed? Andy Shaker said, Jasmine, does that say that? It does not. No. It says the opposite. This is before Tucker claims he talked to me. But the official, this is one of the investigators, called the investigation, one of the largest mobile.

of FBI resources in history that continued to this day. But keep this up, guys. Tucker just made a claim that he has text that I told him President Trump shut down the investigation. So we lied to Brooks Singman in November? If we get a credible lead, the FBI official said, well, continue to investigate. I thought it was closed.

The director has been very clear, that's Cash Patel, about leaving no stone left unturn, and that is what we are committed to. See, ladies and gentlemen, that's information, but it's evidence. It's not information pollution. That is actual evidence right there that everything he's telling you is just made up. But you may say, well, Dad, he claims he has texts

of you saying, oh, well, we'll get to that too. But it's kind of weird how I would say something, because I have dignity and I don't lie to people, that I would say something in a text that I wouldn't say public, on the record. Someone would just put the text out, right? Don't worry, I'll get to that. Again, he also said I was terrified, which is so laughable. If you believe that, you know, I got a bridge in Martin County to sell you real cheap, maybe a dollar. So you want to see the text? I'll show you the text. Here's my exchange with him when he brought

up the fact that the prior deputy director had said or that there was no online footprint, which was a mistake. He said that was the prior leadership. I responded to, to Tucker. I obviously leaving his number out of it, but this is his number. And, you know, if I don't want to get involved with media people, but if one designated person I trust in the media wants to see him to verify, I can do that too. I said, none of this equates to no online footprint for crooks, none of it. I'm not defending anything, but the facts, we briefed the president on the case in the Oval. I was there. He was satisfied that his questions were answered. President Trump has stated this publicly.

I will address the public's interest in more information with principles, cash in them, but I'm not the final decision maker. I was the deputy. But none of this is going to change the facts in the case. And he accused me of reflexively defending the FBI, and I responded, and the reflexively defend the FBI arguments absurd. No one's done more to reform the FBI, address corruption, and make drastic personnel changes and change the culture.

No one, which is true. Now, you may say, let's see more receipts. I claimed in this text that he's claiming, just to be clear, do you guys see anything in this text, anything at all in the audience, Tucker fans or anyone else? Do you see anything in this text he claims to have that says the president shut down the investigation? He's just making this up. Now I say the president, who we briefed on the matter,

was completely satisfied with that, which he told us. He not only told us, he told the daily caller, the exact same thing. I thought he shut down the investigation that we told Fox News was not shut down. Quote, Daily Caller. Trump says he's, quote, very satisfied with the official narrative on Butler assassination, June 2026. Look this up yourself. Hey, Justin, who founded the Daily Caller? Because you may say, well, this is just biased, Dan.

This is a pro-FBI. Oh, my gosh, Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel. There's JetGPT. Hmm. Here's another text where he claims the opposite. Again, he has secret info. He claims somehow that the president told him other words. Weird, like he never said that to anyone else but Tucker.

It seems like Tucker always has this secret info no one else has. Here's his response. What are the facts? I still don't even know. You could have read them in the Brooks Singman November interview, but you chose not to because you like to be stupid. He acted completely alone. Just read the report.

No help from anyone. That's the claim. It's hard to believe, but the FBI could do a lot to prove it. You mean like giving a full-length hour interview to Fox News about it? They won't, which we already did. Why? I sincerely don't understand. This is him playing stupid again.

He never understands anything. S Milkbar TV. I asked Cash and Rick on background to explain, but they refused. I'm totally confused, but clearly this is not good. And by the way, in point of fact, Trump does not believe the official story at all. He's told me that to my face. Here's the secret information he claims to have. Again, never produces any shred of evidence.

I just produced to you evidence of the exact opposite. He's in his own outlet. But yet he's got secret information. Sounds like he's bullshitting you, doesn't it? Here's the other text, where I actually go on to further make the case next. Look to him. He said, I hope you had the chance, Tucker said, to see the piece on crooks. We received some information and a planning of detailed follow-up.

Is there someone I can talk to with the FBI before we do? Thanks. I said, I saw it and that you seem to believe that Cash and I, who were longtime personal friends with the president involved in some sinister cover-up is absurd. I thought he said we were covering it up. Yet in my text, leave this up, guys. I'm saying the exact opposite, Justin, am I not?

It's almost like he's bullshit in you again. Is the president in honor two, I asked? He's one of the victims. He's told us repeatedly, as he said publicly, he's satisfied with the effort cash and I put in. The president's a victim in a federal crime. And when he's ready for us to release more information about this crime, then I'll tell us.

I suggest you give him a ring and tell him you want more. Let me know what he says. He's a member of the media. People call him all the time, which we went on to give more to Fox News and gave him a whole interview. Here's the next one. This is the whole exchange.

And he claims it's not personal, which it's always personal with Tucker. He's just envious of everyone else because he's a person of the lie. I said it is personal. Stop playing games and be honest. You're suggesting that the FBI, Cash and I currently lead,

is deliberately mismeeting people. I watched a video talking about his. It's ridiculous. We exhausted every lead in this case, and our conclusions stand because the evidence backs it up. What possible motive would I have to cover up the evidence? Money, that's hilarious. Fame, clicks, make it make sense to me.

I stated in the last text on the disclosures that the president's a victim here too. He was shot in the head. When he wants the public to see more information, he'll let us know. We meet with him weekly. He's happy with our work on this. Call him if you disagree.

He will hear you out. I'm telling him again. Go call them. Go call them. You know them? Now, proving to you again with even more receipts that the president and the administration were content with the investigation

and it's pending, still open, but inactive because we haven't had leads that panned out anywhere. Here's the president of Fox News piece and the White House confirming yet again the exact opposite story, Tucker's telling you, that there's some organized cover-up. He's just making it up, folks. As for Trump, Fox News, November 21st, Brooke Singman. As for Trump, he told Fox News as Brian Kilmead that he has, quote, confidence in cash, a lot of confidence.

And the DOJ. They're giving me reports. And the reports are seeming to balance out. So I have confidence in these people. I wasn't confident with Chris Ray. But this group, it's a different group, Trump said. It's cash as opposed to Ray. And I have confidence in cash.

Tucker just said there's a big sinister cover up. Trump was in on it. Baumhart, 73, this is exactly why he got fired. Folks, if this isn't receipts, I don't know what is. His own outlet is reporting. Oh, by the way, there's the picture. You need evidence? There's the picture of us in the White House briefing the president.

On the case, he says there's a big cover-up and no one wanted to talk about. Here's the text I sent him with the picture, which he had. I don't recall him in the White House getting a briefing, but he seems to know more. he has secret info. Here we are, briefing him, the president, with the facts, and him telling us he was satisfied. If you come up with a co-conspirator that the FBI missed, now I'm asking him for information,

which he never produced, by the way, then please pass it on to me or someone else with access and will immediately action it. I know, so he doesn't think, I'm kidding. I'm serious. The investigation has not revealed, has not revealed that. I'll follow up with him as well, see what else he needs clarification on, the president.

Because if what Tucker was telling him, me was true that the president needed clarification, which we hadn't heard from anyone, the president at the White House or anything. Then it was weird that they never told us. Matter of fact, when we followed up and asked again, they said, no, we're good. But Tucker has secret information. He's yet to produce. He's yet to produce. Claimed he had text saying otherwise. Have you guys seen any information in the text he claims that I just presented that indicates, and tell me Tucker fans, please, I'm begging you. Have you seen a single shred of evidence in that text that I told him the president demanded we shut down the investigation? If this doesn't end this guy's credibility,

you're wasting your time. You're just being like, this guy's no different than Rachel Maddow. We're going to produce evidence tomorrow. Trump cheated on his taxes. We're going to produce evidence tomorrow, the Russia hoax. And you notice it never comes. He just made the whole story up. Now I see your media eye covering it. Tucker says the president is basically obstructing. He's accusing the president of a crime. I had a bunch of people like, oh, you should sue him and all. Folks, it doesn't matter with this guy.

He doesn't care about the truth. It's a shame that we were friends and he took it and he shit it down a toilet ball because he's a person of a lie who has the impulse control of a child. I'm sure he's going to cackle at all with that stupid laugh. I don't know. Whatever that means. That's his favorite. Check out the Milk Bar TV thing.

Whatever that means. He always claims stupid, whatever that means. I played a three-minute clip. Go to Milk Bar TV. And go look at the three-minute clip of him lying about what he said. And tell me now how this guy has a shred of credibility. His own outlet is calling him out. Folks, I got a lot more to talk about because I really, I can't tell you.

you how much I hate this. There is nothing. I believe me, I totally empathize with everyone out there who's working in a coal mine, is a local three electrician in New York, who's like the last thing I want to hear is about podcast bros. You are correct. I feel you, brother. But I'm really sorry on a Friday, if you're going to accuse me in a mass media outlet of a federal crime and claim you have evidence and accuse the president to, and you better back it the fuck up. I want to end with this, because this is who Tucker Carlson really is. KGB agent Yuri Besmanoff did a series of interviews in the United States about how foreign enemies of the United States and the old Soviet Union understood they can never beat us

militarily. So they always understood they could use chaos agents on the inside. Overload people with information. Overload people but never present. evidence and so nobody believes anything anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, that's exactly what Tucker Carlson is doing. I have secret info. Here's a bunch of information that never points to any evidence.

Tune in tomorrow for my special. Listen to this Yuri Besmanoff clip and you'll see exactly what he's doing. Check this out. Or psychological warfare. What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and it's divided in four basic stages. The first one being demoralization it takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation.

Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism. Sound familiar? I really, really, really hate to do this. I dealt with a lot, the FBI. I was a proudest year in my life. Told him I gave me a year, gave me a year, went in there, did the best job I could. I change nothing. There are a lot of disagreements, a lot of reporting about this now, about disagreements and private conversations.

Disagreements happen at that level all the time. You're dealing with the nation's problems. You're dealing with the nation's problems and the most severe problems. And you don't just get to ice one out. You have to be master of all trades, jack of none. He didn't volunteer to step up and do it. He just likes to sit on the outside and lie about things. Now he'll move on to the next fake scandal next. All right, I've got other things in the news

because there is a real enemy out there, and that's the collectivist socialist left, the Antifa BLM, SPLC left that's been organized for years against us. and a video I saw on, I thought it was a joke. I really did. I thought it was an AI joke, but it's real. It's by someone from that left who wants to make sure they collapse the economy in the United States. Don't laugh with the video, though, right?

This thing is real. He actually did this thing? Quick break, and we'll get to that. Hey, quick question, how much control do you actually have over your money right now?

Check them out. So just first before we get to that video, President Trump last night and True Social announced who he wants his permanent pick for the Office of Director of National Intelligence. to be. I didn't want you to miss this. It was Jay Clayton. Jay Clayton knows his stuff. Jay Clayton's a very successful lawyer. He works up in SDMI, Southern District of New York. Very competent guy. Support the pick. The DNI needs massive reform. As I said yesterday, I just hope they give Bill Pulte a shot in the acting spot. I think he'd be a good change agent with an outside perspective. But, you know, people freaked out before he even did anything. But I think Jay Clayton's going to be a good pick

that's going to get some decent support. So we'll see what happens with that. So I wanted to update you on that. So he's doing it again. Who? No, not talking. Do you know this guy, Robert Rice? Of all the people on the left, I don't know the guy personally.

So this is definitely not personal. But he's just one of the most talented and skilled liars you're ever going to see. He has been a diehard progressive liberal this whole life. And he puts out these videos, that have become increasingly ridiculous, where he says things that kind of like the Tucker model, although I think his motives are different.

This guy just wants like communism or socialism in the United States, are so ridiculous on their face that anyone can go to chat GPT, Gemini, GROC, or anything else, and just refute the nonsense immediately. And he does it because he wants to control the means of production in the United States. Here's the video, this is actually real, of Robert Reich claiming somehow,

he makes two claims here, that, again, the rich don't pay their fair share, and that basically Social Security's going broke because we don't have enough tax money. I thought, okay, it's pretty easy to check out the data on that. Watch this video first. Don't laugh. This is, check this out.

Here's the real reason Social Security is in danger that nobody's talking about. It's not just because too many boomers like me are retiring. It's because of inequality. Now, I don't want to alarm you. Social Security is still helping us oldies enjoy our golden years, mostly on the pickleball court, but only for so long. Social Security is one of the most popular and successful government programs ever created,

not only helping retirees, but it's also keeping 26 million people out of poverty. Yet here's the problem. It's going to run out of money before you can ever receive it if the rich don't start paying their fair share. The trustees of Social Security, of which yours truly was once a member back when I had thicker hair, say the program will only be able to pay full benefits until 2033. Justin just brought up a fascinating point. Are this Velcro shoes? Do they even make those anymore?

I mean, you could probably sell those on eBay or an auction site for a small fortune. Maybe some. Those are Velcro shoes, right? Capitalism, and it's fine. the old Velcro shoe. By the way, it wasn't a terrible idea either. What happened to the Velcro shoe? Someone should bring those back.

They're one of those big sneaker companies, Adidas or whatever. So Robert Rice, his videos always go viral because lefties love them because he tells them what he wants to hear. Again, he presents to you information without evidence. Common tactic, right? In this case, he doesn't claim to have secret info.

He just hides the real information. He claims I have information. My information is this. Social security is going broke because we don't have enough tax money and the rich don't pay their fair share. So again, I don't want to be accused of any right-wing bias.

And let me just bring up, this is why the lefties and the government hate AI. They hate it because they know artificial intelligence if it uses reason will tell you the truth and they're not going to be able to lie to you anymore. There'll be instant fact-checked.

I just want to chat GPT. It's not some right-leaning company and I asked some simple questions. Like, what's U.S. government tax revenue by year? Because he's claiming like we have a tax revenue problem. So let's just go over the last decade. Tax revenue must be shrinking. I mean, he implied that in his thing, right?

We just don't have enough tax revenue to pay for Social Security. Not the fact that the government took your Social Security money and wasted it, which is the real truth, okay? So here it is. Thank you, guys. They list the government tax revenue over the past decade. Okay. 2015, 3.2 trillion, 3.2, 3.3. 3.3. 3.4, 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. 4.4. And then, 4.0. 7.0. 5.0.000.000. 5.2 trillion. Even Trach GPT.

Chet GPt and the trend says, revenue grew from 3.5 trillion in 2015 to 5.2.2. trillion in 2025. An increase of roughly 61%. Jasmine, that sounds like a big deal. An increase increase, correct? Correct. Is Robert Reich making it up? Yeah, of course he is. He's claiming he has this information out there, but when you actually ask the interwebs about there to give you the information he claims that it says the opposite. Tax revenue has gone up dramatically, 61% over the last 10 years. Again, to the liberals watch your show, just like the Tucker fans at the...

I understand, like, when the truth kicks you in the balls, that you just give me more Kool-Aid. I understand. I get it. But one day, the truth reckoning is going to come to you. And when it does, you're going to be really embarrassed. There is nothing worse than having a true believer, see the wizard behind the curtain.

Nothing. You watch it fall apart for them completely. They trust nothing going forward. Then he made the claim in this viral video that, again, wealthy Americans don't pay their fair share of taxes. Folks, make the case that you think the wealthy should pay more, whatever. I don't agree with you. I think it should be in the free market economy.

We could build jobs. But stop bullshitting people that they don't pay the overwhelming majority of taxes. If anything, it's unfair. They pay almost all the taxes. What are you guys putting in there now? Chat, GPD. what percent of U.S. tax revenue comes from the top 10 percent. Oh, what does it say?

It says tax revenue. If you're asking about federal income tax revenue, the top 10 percent paid about 72 percent of all tax revenue, according to the IRS data by the Tax Foundation. Wow. So over $7 out of every, or $70 out of every $100 collected in tax revenue is from one out of ten people. So Rice is bullshitting you again.

Folks, I bring this up because, again, I'm just getting exhausted as I age, just constantly trying to just rebut nonsense that's so easily refuted if you, not you in my audience. I'm talking to the liberals out there. If you would just ask basic question, all you have to do is look it up.

You don't have to do. When I went to college at Q&S, and then at Penn State, okay? You used to have to, this B-roll is great. Like, this is just the greatest thing. If you're missing this on Apple and Spotify, please just check it out. This is just classic.

You used to have to go to the college library, pay money for microfilm, search through the microfilm. You can, legit, go to your phone right now and ask Grock any of these questions. And in seconds, you're like, wow, these guys are lying. Yes, they're lying. Folks, I feel genuinely bad that the government sold you a retirement plan, took your money, and then spent it. If any fiduciary were to do that, Morgan Stanley, any major bank, were to take your money, say, we're going to put it in a retirement fund and invest in your future, and then go spend the money.

They'd be in jail. Yet the government does it, and it's a considered benevolent cause. the government's own people are telling you this social security system is broke. The whole trust fund is a scam. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I'm not going to be the wrong side of this when seniors who busted their ass and created the greatest generation, I adore you.

You worked in a much harder time than we did. Some of you fought in Vietnam. We're living through the last days of World War II and other people. These people fought for, they built this country. They didn't have flat screen TV. food everywhere, GLP1s, they busted their ass and the government bankrupted them.

Here's an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, but exactly there's no trust fund. It's an accounting fiction. Read it yourself, Sternberg, the Social Security trust fund deception. All the government did is take your money,

your Social Security money, they then invested it in U.S. dollar denominated assets, the government then took the money you invent and spent it. It's just an IOU. It's you borrowing money from yourself saying you owe yourself money and writing IOU and then saying this is my asset, the IOU. Folks, the joke of this whole thing is a bunch of people out there

who are constantly calling out, you boomers, you suck, you. You know, man, I'm getting tired as bullshit too. I've said often it'll say over and over because I mean it. So all the young kids out there fascinated with politics who listen to the show, I love you, man. You tautologically are the future. To the seniors out who live the tough life and built this country, the bricklayers,

the police officers, pilots, people in our military, I adore you. I have no class-based or age-based chronological animosity towards anyone. Everyone's got a role. Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, our seniors, all of us. But the whole argument out there that, you know, I see a lot of these,

young liberals make that, oh, you boomers are screwing us over, but we love Social Security. It's kind of ironic because you're the ones who are going to have to pay. Put a screenshot, too, for the government spending senior citizens money they paid into the system. Stomberg just notes this accounting tautology that all this crisis talk is designed to frighten lawmakers into a seating to the left's preferred high tax, high benefit solution before anyone has a chance to think about it, and prevent younger voters who will bear the brunt of the taxes from noticing what's going on. You younger voters are going to be taxed to pay for this. You know why? Aging people die. You're left with the bill. Everyone walked out of the restaurant, but you,

you're the one getting scammed. Boomers. Then you support a program that's screwing you over right now because the government shafted you. It's embarrassing you're falling for this. I'm trying to help you, man. You want a massive tax bill in the future? Folks, I don't need Social Security. Let me be on the record. I don't want it.

I don't need it. Middle class working folks, upper middle class folks who paid in, I don't want it. They don't even want that. You know why? Liberals will never vote to make Social Security means tested based on means. You know why?

the old adage in DC. A program for the poor is a poor program. They want everybody bought into this failed system so when the system breaks, everybody cries out at the same time. They don't want a program only for the poor because they know it's not a large enough constituency to keep the scheme going.

That's just a fact. Folks, really, I'm just trying to help you, man. You can kill the messenger all you want. Old people got screwed soon to be. be old people got screwed and younger folks are going to get screwed the most. And yet when you don't have any results to speak of, what do you do? You go stupid, you go put out stupid videos. You have zero results. You never produce a suspect in any of you, coming soon, coming tomorrow, any of that. You never produce a fix for this program that's been broke forever because a big government spending

your money. So when you don't have results, what do you do? You run on bumper stickers, coexist, tolerance, this guy's corrupt, that guy's goes. There's a cover-up. There's a cover-up. There's a and then evidence surfaces over the last few days about a bunch of conversations about them not being in a go. And what do you do? You just move on to the next thing. I want to show you what I mean by these just schizophrenic Trump haters out there. They must have some kind of mental,

psychopathological, DSM diagnosable disorder. Trump brought this up yesterday, the president, about Iran policy. It's amazing. I can't emphasize this enough. He brought this up on Fox yesterday in a phone interview. He negotiates with the death to America regime to come to a deal, the left is pissed off.

He engages in kinetic strikes to incentivize a deal. The left is pissed off. What's your position, man? Just stake a position out. He brought this up yesterday on Fox. He's like, if they waived the right flag and we love Allah, whatever, all of a sudden, the left would be complaining about that too.

Check this out. It could be the greatest deal in history. They could wave the white flag of surrender. They could say, we surrender, we surrender, we're finished, we've had at the United States is the greatest power. Praise me to Allah. And they could do all of this. They could say it loud and clear.

And the fake news would say it was a great victory for Iran. I mean, it's the craziest thing I've ever seen. We're killing them. It's killing them. They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. They have no anti-aircraft. You know, we're flying planes over the middle of Tehran, and they don't have no idea what we're there.

We've knocked out all of their radar, all of their anti-aircrafts. much of their missiles, they have probably less than 20%, well, we think about 20%, most of their launchers, the missile launches, which are quite important. Their drone capacity is way down. You see it. Again, the guy is just producing a series of results you don't like.

So when you don't like it, you just respond with ad hominem attacks. Trump's got the cooties. Like you're in fourth grade. I mean, these people are unbearable. I can't believe people watch this crap, whether it's Reich videos or the left. Trump shouldn't negotiate. Trump should negotiate. Trump chickened out.

Trump's too aggressive. He's a warmonger. What the f is it, man? I love these other ones, too, by the way. Trump, this is the pedophile administration. Sickening, disgusting, grotesque. Just an example of genuine people of the lie. Real evil.

Then when DHS Secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen goes out and gives a presser yesterday about saving what's the number? You're like 140 plus thousand kids. Nobody wants to pay any attention to that. You just respond with bullshit. This is what actual results look like from an administration committed, committed to results on protecting kids. These are called numbers and results.

Check this out. These individuals that the Democrats seem to want to defund, but because of President Trump, we finally funded them for three years, we're able to push and go find these kids. We found 146,000 kids so far. 146,000 kids. We still have nearly 300,000 missing. We're investigating reports to where some of these kids

claim that they were raped six to 700 times. I don't care who you are. I don't care if you have kids. If you don't have kids, I don't care if you're a liberal, you're independent, you're a Democrat, you're Republican. If you can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you? Folks, that's what's actually happening. I see people in the chat.

Yeah, that is a data point, an actual data point. You understand when you're working inside the government for this administration that cares only about results. They don't care about the politics. He's cleaning up D.C. It's a liberal city. What does he care about the politics? He's not running again. He's had to make hard decisions about the death to America crowd that, yeah, have caused some dislocations temporarily, but he knows it's the right thing to do. You may not think it's the right thing, but don't tell me he's doing it because the politics. You're just full of shit. When you're at that level, you're dealing with a thousand serious problems at the same time. When you read reports

in the media about disagreements and stuff, it always seems like this was the biggest thing in the world at the time. Meaning it's one of like a thousand things you dealt with that day. It's just not the way any of this works. It's almost comical listening to media coverage of what they think happened when people who are there know what happened. And then here's their other trick here. Here's Akeem Jeffries. Just an absolute scam artist. I got to tell you, man, the Democrats are going to miss Nancy Pelosi with this goofball. This guy is just, cannot stay on message. He gets confronted about election fraud and actual videos of voters. I'll address this with Senator Rick Scott about the Save Act,

so don't miss that coming up in just a few minutes. However, there's video. Was it, Cam Higbee, O'Keeffe and others, went out to Los Angeles and got on video, homeless people saying, yeah, they're basically paying us to, you know, register to vote. What else do you need? That's called evidence.

It's not just information. It's information that's evidence. Now, Hakeem Jeffries has seen, videos. I know he has. Here he is bullshitting people. No, no, I didn't see it. I think it's a right wing conspiracy theory. When you don't, you ever hear the expression in the legal space? When you have the facts, pound the facts. When you don't have the facts, pound the table. This is Hakeem Jeffries pounding the table just like his buddy Tucker. Check this out. Earlier in the week, you told me that there is no election fraud happening in California and that anyone who questions

the outcome of the election is a conspiracy theorist. However, there are now homeless people on Skid Row admitting they were bribed with cash, drugs, other incentives to vote Democrat in elections. Does that change your stance at all on whether or not these elections are rigged? Listen, I'm unfamiliar with those reports, and I wouldn't be surprised

if those are part of some far-right conspiracy theory being peddled on the Internet to try to convince the American people that there's evidence of, in California. They're not trying to convince them. They showed them the videos. He's presented with information.

This is the mark of the imbecile. He's presented with information. Sir, there are videos out there of people being paid to register to vote. They're out there. You can look to all you've got to do is go to X and put in, you know, videos, Skid Row. You don't even have to put videos. Just put Skid Row and click the videos button on X.

TikTok. And you can see them yourself. He doesn't want. to see them. This is the mark of an imbecile. The imbecile, remember, the smart people take a bunch of evidence, a bunch of information, excuse me, they distill that pool of information. We have 100 suspects in a murder case. They distill it down using investigatory tactics and reason to the one person or maybe two people in a conspiracy that did it, and they eliminate unnecessary information. The mark of an idiot is the inversion of that. They take the answer. Here is the video. Here is the

video of said fraud. That's the answer. You can look at it. And they go down and they go down. And they pollute it with more of a, well, I don't think that's true. It's a conspiracy theory. It's a plot. I haven't seen them. That is the mark of an imbecile. We cannot possibly run this country with imbeciles like this in charge. He's offered like, just look at the videos. You haven't seen you're not concerned about it? By the way, now in this runoff in L.A., you've got two Democrats running against each other in a flawed system with homeless people. having their votes bought off. Good luck with that.

And you want a national popular vote for president? You imagine that waiting for a month for California's fake homeless vote to come in to decide who the president is? Good luck with that. Here's what a genuine politician looks like, by the way. I become a big supporter of the guy who believe in results. Again, don't fall in love with people, fall in love for results. But Brandon Gill has been doing an excellent job, the presentation style, just makes for really great information that's actual evidence.

Here he is discussing, you know, immigration up on Capitol. I want you to see the difference between him and Hakeem Jeffries because contrasts matter. What he says here is absolutely true. Check this out. 160 years ago, Democrats were asking us, if it weren't for slavery, who would pick our cotton? And today they're asking a similar question,

which is if it weren't for mass migration, who would pick our avocados? It's a similar pattern that they've established. You can say that the United States is not, in fact, better off by importing a massive class of what is virtually surf labor, which undermines our cultural fabric and our government as well. I'd also like to point out that the admission that we need more and more unvetted illegal aliens pouring into our country is also an admission that the goal, or one of the goals of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, is explicitly to reduce American wages,

because that's exactly what they're doing and what they're saying they're doing whenever they talk about bringing in cheap labor. Folks, please tune into my show earlier in the week to back up what Brandon Gill just said, because it's evidence that they're saying they're doing this, bringing in people basically to replace us. It's their thing. Their replacement theory, and they're not called great replacement theory, or demographic destiny argument, is the argument that Democrats are making.

We're going to replace you. We're going to play the Grabyan video for yourself. What was that, Tuesdays show or something? We've played this over and over again. This is what's called evidence. Evidence are the subjects in the case the Democrats claiming we, the Republicans, are engaged in some racist replacement theory,

and yet the evidence, when you play the Democrats talking, is that they're the ones talking about it. When we mention it, we're talking about your theory. What was it, Tommy Boy? That's your theory. It's called evidence, bro. That's what reason looks like. You're making a claim. You're making a claim.

Republicans are racist. They don't want immigration. None of that's actually true. I'm married to an immigrant. We want legal immigration. Here, this is the one, this is it. There's Chuck Schumer saying, hey, racist, Republican, racist replacement theory.

And then this video goes on and on. Joe Biden talking about, you know, we're going to be replaced. We're going to replace you. It's going to be an endless stream of immigration. It goes, this goes on, by the way. I used to play this on my radio show, producer Jim. This video goes on for like 20 minutes or so.

MSNBC talking about it. All right, they get the point. There's Univision, whatever. Folks, facts matter. I think this show has proved that. Well, you know it's Friday. I got Senator Rick Scott coming up. We're going to talk about things that are really, really pressing right now.

AI, what the government's doing. There's a lot of ups and downs, all this stuff. FISA, which is super important, the Save Act, the Red State, Blue State Divide. Don't miss any of that. I also want to play his video again, which was great, talking about the problem is government. as I showed you debunking that Robert Reich video. But it is Friday, producer Jim. He never shows me this in advance.

He doesn't. So is there a language alert on this one? Okay, I don't think so. I haven't seen it so. But we like to leave you with the weekend with a meditative calm moment from the Democrats who you know never get unreasonable and scream and yell or anything like that.

We call it our Democrat Zen moment of the day. Check this out. Your Democrat Zen moment of the day. A peaceful moment to center your mind. This has been Democrat Zen. Okay, number one, you totally blew the language alert on that. But second, was that a tooth or like foam? You know, when you say like they're foaming at the mouth and scratching their faces,

it's not meant literally. And that, you know, I hate that word, too. In that case, it's literal. The scratching of the face, the phone, it looks like, what is that? It's like a phone ball. Again, if you're listening on Apple and Spotify, we love you. Thank you. The video is exclusive to Rumble.

However, please watch that video. That made Jim, producer Jim, that may be your best work yet. Motley's in the chat. Motley's in the chat. God rest, producer Joe's soul. Motley, we love you, Motley. We miss you, buddy. That's probably the best one, yeah.

He was the governor down here in Florida. He was kicking butt and taking names, and now he's a U.S. Senator down here. We got a lot to talk about.

I played one of his cuts yesterday. Senator, welcome to the show. Great to have you. First off, congratulations on your success. I love to see people succeed. It's so much fun. Oh, thank you. I know you're a businessman yourself, so it's a meritocracy in business.

Either produce our value or get out of the business. I want to just play an abbreviated version. of a clip I played of you yesterday. The reason I'm playing it again is it is so important people understand this. There's a battle of ideologies right now. Is government the solution or a free people engaging in market activity?

And I always found it odd that the three, you know, the arenas the liberals complain about the most, whether it's healthcare or medicine, housing, whatever it may be, are also the areas where government has the biggest footprint and yet they never make the correlation. You address this in this clip, and I want to talk about on the other side.

Check this out. What health care costs for family four 50 years ago? $700 a year. $25,000 plus now. Look at what we've done to ourselves. If you look at what most of your generation, when I went to school, there's $200 to go to junior college for a semester.

I could take 21 hours. $255 for the university. I thought that was expensive. I could buy a house. My best friend bought a house out of high school in the suburbs, brand new three-bed and one bath house, $21,000.

That house is 50 years old. I think it's $300,000. They've killed you. They've destroyed your, look at your student debt, your cost of education, your cost of health care. You know what brand new car costs back then? 1625 bucks. So you know what's done all this? Government. Government spending $2 trillion year after year after year. I mean, we're going to have two plus trillion dollars with a of new debt. Inflation is not going away. You can't. Senator, this was a brilliant analysis. When you you intercept a person offering a product or service from a customer and they don't negotiate

on what it's worth and the government tries to steal other people's money to pay for it, you get out of control costs every time. I wish people would just make this connection. Well, government's done, Dan, government's done all this. If you look at just in my, in my lifespan, I mean, cost of a new car, $60,000 and $100, what's, it's at least $20,000 now, right? maybe more. Cost of a house. You could buy a house in the suburb for $21,000 and now probably what in Florida, it's $350,000, $400,000. And then look at education. People didn't, people, first off, they didn't go get stupid degrees where there's no jobs. He went to college if you were going to be an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, or a teacher. If you weren't going to do that stuff, you didn't waste your time.

By the way, Dan, have you seen the numbers? I think it's 43% of, Recent college graduates don't have a job that requires a college degree. Government and health care. 50 years ago, $700 for a family for a year. $25,000 now. So it's all government. Government's destroying the dream of this country. A kid, like, look at where you and I came from.

I came from public housing, not knowing my dad. I can go build a business. Today, you can't even get started because The permits. I opened my first business donut shop. I don't think I had to have a permit to open. I think I had to file something. Now it would take months and cost you a fortune.

So if you're poor, how do you get started in this country? Yeah, it's so frustrating. And you're one of the few representative senators up on the hill that's talking about the big problems like Reagan used to talk about them. You know, the most dangerous words in the English language. I'm from the government. I'm here to help, they never help. And you just have to look at the data.

And you know what's scary you being a businessman to? Even when you subdivide the field of health care where costs have exploded because the government insists on interrupting the price mechanism. And then you ice out, say, LASIC for your eyes, which is generally not covered by insurance. It's not a coincidence that LASIC is the degree of inflation in LASIC services is nowhere close to everywhere else

where the government's involved. Like the example, the data set is right in front of you. you just open your darn eyes, you know? Yeah, look, I think LACC's actually gone down in price and the quality keeps getting better. I mean, you look at where government's not involved, quality gets better, service gets better, and price doesn't go up.

And often it goes down. Because if you go compete, it gets better for you, the customer. You know, I was governor for eight years. You wouldn't believe all the business that came to me and say, you know, governor, you really need to tax us and fee us more. And what they were saying is, We don't like competition. So if you can raise, make it harder for our competition, we'll be better off.

I've made this point over and over how this is why liberal billionaires, there are a lot of them, that more of them donated to Kamala than President Trump. There's nothing they like more than regulations and taxes that ice their other competitors. Simple Porter's Five Forces, Business School 101. I should make a barrier to entry. You know what the biggest barrier to entry is? Government. That's why billionaires love big guns.

That's why they donate to Kamala and not President Trump generally. Almost all of our problems are caused by our government. Almost all of them. You know, healthcare costs, education costs, housing costs. And then so then they want to pass more stuff. Oh, here's what we're going to do. We're going to subsidize you. So we're going to take money from you so we can run $2 trillion-dollar-year deficits.

Then we're going to give you a little bit of money back. In the meantime, it's a job program. It's a jobs program for government employees. Oh, yeah, we'll have to have more government employees to monitor the program. Oh, are we going to stop the fraud? No, no, no, no, no. We're not going to stop the fraud. We're going to allow the fraud because, you know, I remember on the floor one time when I was fighting

the PPP stuff. And I don't know if it was Bernie Sanders, but he says, well, if there's a little bit of fraud, that's okay because we'll help some people. No, it's somebody's money. Right. No fraud. No fraud. Every government program is full of fraud.

Yeah, no company. A public company, by the way, be investigated for the SEC for claiming the same thing, and you know it. I mean, you'd be out of business in a heartbeat. You were the governor down here. You did an amazing job.

You've also been a senator. Nobody knows Florida better than you. You know, we have a problem in Florida, though. I mean, it's kind of a good problem, but it is a problem. And a lot of people are relocating to Florida who don't come down here with the Florida kind of way of life,

which is pro-we. business, pro, you know, freedom, Second Amendment state. Now, listen, I am a constitutionist, move wherever you want, so United States. We're free people. You know, I love Florida. However, I don't have to agree with you. And I see in the future this red state, blue state divide, which you've lived through yourself here, is only going to get worse. With the explosion in AI, the ability to telecommute and work from home, you were not landlocked to a state or a blue city anymore. People are going to start coming down here in droves. It's a great place to live. I'm a transplant here. I adore this place. But this is going to be really difficult for blue states in the future to continue to say,

hey, look at this utopia as the U-Haul business explodes in their state. Well, you know, it's crazy, Dan, is people are walking away from bad government policy, and then they go vote for it where they move. You think, come on, you have to be smarter than this. I mean, lower taxes, less regulation, more freedom, better schools, better law enforcement, you know, job opportunities. That's what you should be voting for. You were a governor down here in Florida. I want to just discuss the SAVE Act.

From the inside in the U.S. Senate, we're talking to Senator Rick Scott from the great state of Florida, my home state. I've never seen an issue. My audience is so passionate about ever. I mean, I've been at this a long time, well over a decade. I get a ton of emails.

I've never seen a tidal wave of emails about anything like the Save America Act. Because if we can't trust the integrity of our election, Senator, then the whole fidelity of the Constitution just falls apart. It's just a piece of paper then. Like, it doesn't matter. Our system of government relies on faith in the system, and people don't have it anymore.

We have mail-in ballots in Florida, but the system down here is run really efficiently, and fraud is kept to a minimum. You can do it. You can run the system. You have people who can't get out of their home. You have military folks. You can run it like we have,

where we cleaned up after the 2000 election. These other states just don't want to do it. So where do we stand on the SAVE Act and your take two on these blue states? There's got to be a reason they don't want to do it. That's because they enjoy the chaos. I can't imagine any other reason. Well, just look at L.A. Look at Spencer Pratt.

Out there, he was in second place who had been in the runoff. In the runoff, he should have won because Bass only got like 37% of the vote. And so that means most people were against her. So after the fact, up, you know, they found all these mail-in ballots. And then what's come out is that all these people on Skid Row were paid two to five bucks a vote. And they said, oh, yeah, people down here every day just getting our votes. There's paying, signing names, stuff like that, getting our votes. That is called fraud.

And it doesn't just impact California because it impacts, you know, you because right now, maybe we wouldn't have to have Democrat senators in California if we had real elections. And so where there is fraud, it impacts all of us. So Save America Act. We, you know, like you said, everybody wants it. Republicans want Democrats, independents want it. So the trick is we got to just take the time, put it on the floor and talk about it. Either we got to do one or two things.

We've got to put it on the floor and we're going to talk until we pass it, okay? Or we're going to get rid of the filibuster, which says we can pass things with 50 votes plus J.D. Vance. We've got to do one of those two things. So here's the only way it's going to happen is all over your audience calls every Republican and every Democrat Senator and says, you've got to pass it so it's more important than anything else we're doing right now.

Yeah, I agree. And, you know, I brought up with Congressman Jim Jordan yesterday. He was a guest on the show. That the puzzling part about this, yeah, fantastic. He's been a friend to the show for a long time. When you look at, you referenced to Spencer Pratt, Los Angeles mayor race, this is now going to be a runoff between a straight-up communist

and kind of like communist in name only, but still a really horrible progressive liberals ruined the city. It was in Africa, by the way, when the city was burning. I mean, it's just a fact. Senator, this doesn't help them either. I mean, if you finish second

and you lose the mayor's race and now the runoff election, you're going to be thinking to yourself how many homeless people on Skid Row that didn't vote for me? And you're the Democrat. Like, this is what I don't get in these blue cities. This doesn't even help you.

You. No. And it makes everybody say, why am I voting? Why am I wasting my time? Right? Because if it's all going to be fraud, why am I waste of my time? There's plenty of Republicans out in California, but do they really have a vote when you have all this fraud? And then it dilutes our voting in Florida because now, you know, we have Democrat congressmen and women and Democrat senators.

And maybe we wouldn't if we had a real election. So it makes, by the way. It really makes you mad. Yeah, sorry, I mean to interrupt, but this is one of the reasons we have to fight like the Dickens against this national voter compacting with this. Can you imagine waiting on a presidential election for the California votes to come in? If it was a national popular. Can you imagine Florida is done? Florida election night, 30 seconds after the polls are closed, numbers start coming in. It's done. Florida is clean, right? And then for a month, you don't know who the president is.

California still count votes on Skid Rowley. That is a big no-no. They're going to get what they need. They find out, oh, how many votes do we need? Okay, that's how much time we're going to put down Skid Row. That's what it looks. I mean, that's what it looks like, doesn't it? Yeah, be total chaos. I want to address the topic, obviously, really hot in our free market economy

because it's got kind of like nuclear power in the Manhattan Project. It obviously has civilian applications for energy, but has very serious, as we know, obviously, national security implications when it comes to explosives and weapons development as well. I think, given my experience at AI is similar, not exact, but similar to that. It has incredible potential. Gene editing, technology, cancer, healthcare, productivity, supply chain management, you're a businessman, tremendous potential.

We all know that. But there also is a potential danger from it. What's going on up in the Senate with the threat assessment and how we're going to, you know, weave government into this in a way. that doesn't suffocate the technology, but also doesn't allow it to infiltrate our country in a pernicious way. Well, domestically, people are worried about their jobs.

Domestically, they're also worried about how a is going to impact their kids. It's going to kill their kids. Internationally, we've got to make sure is what are our enemies doing? What are the terrorists doing? What's Russia doing? What's Communist China doing? What's Iran doing?

And we've got to stay ahead of it. So, and we can't sit here and say, oh, we just don't want to do it because we're not sure. our enemies are going to do it. So I have a bill. What we need to do is on an annual basis, we need to have a thorough risk assessment.

So we're staying ahead of the game and everybody knows what we should do. This week we just passed the National Defense Authorization Act through committee. And AI is one of the things we talked about quite a bit. What do we do to make sure we stay ahead and don't get behind? Yeah, my big concern is that we do fall behind and they use it to find holes in our industrial control.

water supply or nuclear plants. And then you know, you see a mushroom cloud somewhere. And it goes, well, what happened? Well, the answer is we fell behind and we can't. I mean, this is, it's a very complicated topic, but I'm glad that there's some serious people talking about it. Let me address another serious topic that has a similar kind of upside, downside, but very serious, which is FISA.

It is now lapsed where, which is, I don't know if the telecoms are going to be willing to produce the data. And if they don't, it's lost forever. forever. On FISA, when I was at the FBI with cash, we made some really, really serious reforms. We put in some guardrails that were not mandated. We did it because nobody cares more about civil liberties than me. Maybe as much, but I promise not more. I know you feel the same way. However, in this interconnected world where terrorists can just go and use signal and other encrypted apps, you know, there has to be some ability, especially for non-U.S. SITs overseas, non-U.S.

non-U.S. citizens to be able to at least fight, you know, with this, you know, we don't have to put on 20-ounce gloves and they have bare knuckles. Like, we can't work like that. What's going on with FISA now? So I think it's really pretty simple. We want to be able to surveil foreigners, but we don't want to surveil Americans. I've been surveilled after January 6th, I were surveilled. Biden released my tax returns. Booz Allen did it. They've never been held accountable. And then when I built my hospital company, I went against Hillary Care. So the Clinton administration went after. I targeted my company. So it's happened to me. So if it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody.

So here's what we have to do. Sit down. That's what I get so frustrating in DC. Everybody that has a view, let's all get into one room and take how many days it takes. But let's come up with a solution. We want to surveil foreigners, but we do not want to be surveilled here in our country. There's a solution here. We ought to get to it. Yeah, it's important. Most of the president's daily brief, the intelligence, President Trump, and, you know, Hipsy and Sissy that you all use to make critical national security decisions is developed from that material. So the civil liberties component has to come first.

You know, you trade liberty for security you're going to have, neither is, you know, the famous adage goes. But we do have to take it serious. Senator Rick Scott, I really appreciate all the work you've been doing, not just in the Senate on the national level, you vote on national issues, but your governorship laid the groundwork for a I came down here when Florida I think you remember this well just one last thought on this because you you went through it if you won an election in Florida by point zero zero zero one percent of voters of the republic it was a landslide now after your governorship after two terms now we

have I don't want to take anything for granted of course but we have this nice buffer so you live through that I think it's because you implemented a pro-business pro freedom pro second amendment agenda and now you're seeing the results of that so Nice work on that. Thanks, Dan. Congratulations on all your success. And thanks for your hard work, the FBI. Thank you, sir.

We appreciate it. Senator Rick Scott from the great state of Florida. All I ask, folks, I can't tell you what to go up. I am a civil libertarian move wherever you want. I'm just asking you kind of as a friend, please don't come to Florida if you're going to vote like you live in New York where I live. There's a reason people escape from New York. It's not because it's doing so great, okay?

I told you, I was just up there. The vibe is totally different. It was a working class town when I grew up there. Thanks again for tuning in. Again, sorry we had to cover this stuff in the beginning of the show. I really don't like to waste your time, but you're not going to accuse me of this kind of stuff and the president claim you have evidence.

And then when I take the actual evidence and show it to the audience, well, I think you know who the liar is now. All you've got to do is use reason. Facts will guide the way. Compass True North matters. Remember, don't let the Uri Besman off the Uri Besman. off prediction, don't let it come true. Got Haley coming up at noon, rumble.com slash
