But this has to be the most insane political ad I think I've ever seen. And believe me, that's saying a lot. I've seen some really terrible political ads. But it goes back to this axiomatic truth of politics I've told you about for a long time. And I'm going to show you how it relates to things that are going on around the demoralization op around the Trump administration too. That the most destructive political narratives, things. that hurt political candidates and companies too for that matter but let's keep it in terms of politics the most destructive ads narratives stories you want to tell that do damage to people are ones

a change your preexisting notion of who someone is you'll see it in the demoralization op against president trump nothing's happening from a guy who's run on like we're going to make things happen right and then when things happen they move on to the next thing they're doing this on purpose But can you imagine a political ad, and therefore we're not going to, I hate the unnecessary tease, for a candidate for governor in a huge important state like Ohio, where the candidates, mom, mom comes out and's like that. Don't vote for my daughter. She's really not good.

Wait, what? Folks, my friend, Brian up in Maryland ran for state delegate and won. He lost and then we won twice. and he's a very popular guy up there. Some of our neighbors, where I lived in Maryland, a lot of them, were like diehard liberals. He's a Republican. They voted for him.

They voted for him because they trusted he was a good guy. Can you imagine recommending the people not to vote for your own daughter? Amy Acton, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen. I got that. I got some really, and by the way, we got a great guest coming up. Do you know what SEL is, social, emotional learning?

Thank you, All Family Pharmacy. Today's show also brought to you by My Patriot Supply. Speaking of preparedness, folks, you don't want some cyber attack to hit the grid. Everybody's refrigerator goes down. put markets around and you have no food. It's an easy way to get dead and you don't want to get dead. You see when emergencies happen. Furnace stops, roads become dangerous, gets cold, you have a storm, stores get picked over. And once the storm's on top of you, your options shrink fast. My Patriot Supply told me they saw this firsthand last year. When major storms threatened,

their vesta, indoor heater and stove became one of the hottest preparedness items of the season. It sold out again and again as people rushed to prepare at the last minute. That's exactly why My Patriot Supply created the winter prep bundle to help you get ahead of the storms this time. It includes 114 servings of emergency food with real meals you can count on. The vesta heater and stove, it's safe to use indoors, backup power with solar charging, emergency lighting, and thermal blankets. In other words, food, heat, power, and light already in your home before you need them. And when you go to PreparewithDan.com, you can save almost $300 on the complete bundle.

Don't wait until a forecast sends everyone scrambling again. go to prepare with dan.com, get your winter prep bundle bundle, bundle today while it's still available. Preparewithdan.com. Thank you. My patron, we got a big show. So let's get going. Let's ring that bell. Folks, the most destructive political narratives that do real damage are political narratives constructed to make you believe your preexisting notion of who someone was is wrong. I know. I see it now. I see it. It's clearly, clearly a demoralization op. However, if you believed that, and I'll address that first component later, but this is why this ad is so damaging. And I want to be clear what I'm saying here. It's why if say some guy who's got a history of being like a professional athlete, he's a big

party guy, but then, you know, one day he runs for office. This happens all the time. people are like, wow, we saw this guy out drinking on a Friday night. Like, that's really not going to do any damage to that candidate because baked into the cake already was, hey, you know, this guy's one of us. He parties once in a while. He has a few drinks. But if you were to see that by a candidate running on a narrative of being, say, this very, very faith-based guy who doesn't drink or doing that, it would be really destructive.

There is no narrative more damaging than having a close family. Some of you get where I'm going with this. Tell you who someone really is. And even worse, when your mom comes out and films an ad saying don't vote for my daughter. Watch this. This is seriously the most insane thing I've ever seen. This is Amy Acton, candidate for governor running against a fake Ramoswamy. This is her mom filming a political ad saying don't vote for her daughter.

Freaking insane. Check this out. I'm Arthur. And I'm Amy Acton's mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent, it's not easy for a mother to say this, but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past.

She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. she's lied her entire life. My daughter needs help and she can't help you if she needs help herself. People can change but first they have to tell the truth

and my daughter still isn't doing that. Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let her become your governor. If you think she'll make your life better, you're fooling yourself. Folks, we don't even know what to do here in the studio. Chaos is broken out. Andrew's sitting there and Andrew's like in the mic and he's, you know, I got the earpiece in.

And he's like, hey, Dan, this really opens her up to a lot of yo mama jokes. Then Guy comes storming out of the studio. That was my joke. Andrew stole the joke. And it reminded me that key and peel segment. What is it, the hypotenuse? Look it up. You'll see what I mean.

Watch the key and peel segment. Folks, how do you, how do you recover from that? Listen, I'm really sorry. But if you are, if you're a diehard Democrat, you're going to vote for Amy Acton because she's a communist. I get it. But if you are even remotely on the fence, mutley, folks, if there was ever a mutley and this is like, I'm, I'm putting a temporary hold on the mutley limits. As many mutleys as you want. In the chat, how do you vote for this lady?

That's her mom. That's mom dukes. Ma, mommy, ma, ma, ma. my kid goes, Ma, what, how do you, how do you,

how do you vote? We're watching this ad. We've seen it like 10 times and it gets worse every time. Amy said she grew up in a tent. She's a liar. She didn't, she's into jail.

Folks, I don't even care if you live in Ohio. This is the most destructive political ad I have ever seen. And I'm talking about going back to like the Reagan era when I first remember politics. The mom. Now,

Because we could poke fun at this candidate all day. There's a serious lesson here. Men, again, the show is about entertainment. I want it to be entertaining, but I want it to be educational. There's a lesson here. And the lesson is both positive and negative. It's positive in that it gives you tools to attack your political opponents and really tear apart their narratives if you can do something like this.

However, it's also used against us by Folex MAGA. in a demoralization up, because these narratives, if the concrete tries and people believe them, which thankfully people aren't falling for this. You see the Harry Anton polls about Republican unity. I'll show you one in a minute. It's just not working because people see through it. They do this with the Trump administration all the time. They said they were going to close the border.

Border's not closing. Like, well, the data shows it effectively is closed. It doesn't matter. They should have closed it more. How do you close it more? Zero illegal migrants have been admitted. We want negative people admitted. Well, they are.

That's called deportations. That means people go, well, there's not enough deportations. You see the scam? The scam is they said they would do this and didn't do it. And then when you show the evidence of, well, here's what happened. They just changed the argument. I'll show you a clip of Tucker doing this later. It's going to blow your mind.

He gets absolutely wrecked on his own show. I'm surprised he didn't edit it. Trying to tell you something didn't happen. And either he's too dumb to have read it. Or he read it and he's just lying to you, I lean towards the latter. The most destructive political narratives. Change your preexisting notion of who or what something is. Don't ever forget that lesson.

Because once you see it applied to you in an op or your movement by fake insiders, you'll learn to recognize it right away. Folks, I broke out the Don't Get Dead shirt today. I got to tell you, by my standards, Nicole Wallace, you may be right, Nicole. This one actually shrunk quite a bit, so I'll have to give you that one. Justin, we need our Nicole Wallace. I know Nicole, she's fascinated with my T-shirts, but I broke out the Don't Get Dead shirt today.

The 10, 10, Nicole, you're correct about this one. This one is definitely wrong quite a bit. hey, I told you self-praise things. Sometimes you throw yourself under the bus. However, it's the only one I can find. And please, vote red. Don't get dead. Save your country.

It needs you. Folks, I really do have the best. And by the best, I mean the worst enemies. Some of these people are such degenerates. And I want you to see here, this is what I'm talking about, because it applies to the entire administration. I'm a potent example because it's the Dan Bongino show when I was the first one out.

But now you see it now, you see how they're kind of filtering their attacks now and moving, I should say changing their attacks to Hegseth now to Pete, our secretary of war, who's done an amazing job reforming our military. It was overly bureaucratic, had a ton of problems from weapons acquisition to elsewhere, DEI, the infection of DEI.

Do you notice now how all of that stuff that Pete did in the Department of War, now they just move on to him. It's a demoralization op to get you to believe that the administration changed who they were when in fact none of that happened. The people you trusted went in there and did what you trusted them to do and they just don't want you to see it.

And they're combining with people who use the exact same stories. Die hard, leftist scum. One of them, Fredo, Chris Cuomo, a loser in a family of losers, I mean, really, like, what's it like to be a loser and a family of losers? So I put out this tweet, as I discussed yesterday on the show, going after Barack Obama, the most tyrannical president in U.S. history,

who threw, quote, American democracy out the door to attack President Trump and others in his administration. So I hit President Obama pretty hard because he deserves it. And I said, Mr. President, everybody knows who you really are, being lectured by you. He can sit out. So, of course, Chris Cuomo, the biggest loser in the United States, a family of absolute zeros.

It says you are literally, you know how much I love that word, literally, not worthy of sniffing his jock. Well, I will not be doing that. That's kind of correct there. Tell Cash to release the Epstein files. Here we go with the Epstein narrative, which we've only discredited about 10,000 times as to what Cash and I did about the Epstein files. Again, I know receipts don't matter to these people because they're trying to get you

to believe that somehow my position had changed on this. They have no evidence of that. there's only counter evidence, but then they just move on to the next one. You see how this narrative pervades itself? Do Folex, MAGA, in the left? So I said, hey, Chris, it was a nice measured response, don't you think, Justin? I said, remember when your producer reached out begging me to come on and save your show after your network CNN decided you were two for them?

There's some cuss words in there. And remember when your failure of a brother worked for Epstein's best buddy, Bill Clinton, he leaves that out. It's so weird. Remember how his brother was accused by people in the Me Too? Now he's so concerned about Epstein. It's weird. It's almost like he's just making that up.

What did you know, Chris? What did you a brother know? You guys should know, right? Buddy Bill Clinton is over there on the island, right? Just a reminder, too, that I was fighting for transparency in that Epstein case while your corrupt family was locking down the country and you were posing naked for your audience of purves. Remember that one?

You don't look at it. I strongly encourage you not to look at them. And next time I see you like I did at the UFC, you don't have to kiss my ass again. It's embarrassing. It was embarrassing. They had him in like the cheap seats. And he kept waving, hey, come on over, buddy.

Come on over. Man, you're the bad. Let's you come on my show. I don't want to come on your show. Nobody watches your show. So I sent him the receipts, of course, because he's done nothing about the Epstein Files except cover for his brother allegations there.

And his brother worked for Clinton, right? I sent him a bunch of receipts on it. He can read himself. According to Susie Wiles, the people that really appreciate what a big deal the Epstein case was, was FBI director Cash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino. I'm sure everybody's lying. Well, you say, that's a New York Post.

That's a relatively conservative alley. Well, the New York Times line, you know how much they love us, right? Justin, New York Times. They're really big fans at Dan Bon Jo. So why would they all write this stuff? Put up the other ones, too. This is just like an endless litany of just stupidity by Chris Cuomo. Again, I know receipts don't matter to these people.

You have the other ones? Nothing matters to these people. They're just a bunch of ass clowns who've combined with a group of Folex MAGA people on the right. Again, to foster a fake political narrative, a fairy tale that nothing is happening because they want you to believe that your pre-existing notion of an action-oriented administration is not in fact so.

You can read it yourself. It's all on my ex-count if you want to read it. Top two FBI officials had been pushing for a much broader release of the Epstein material after finding little of the files that added to what are really widely known about the president's interactions with FECD. Again, you can read it all yourself. It's unbelievable people still fall for this grift, this grift. You see how me being the first one out, their way to dismantle the administration.

Do you notice there's certain people, by the way, in the administration they don't go after because they think they can use them for their own power enhancement later? Do you notice that? It's Belmont. Yeah, throw the Guardian up too. Whatever, just throwing up. People can read it themselves. This is crazy.

You got left-wing Chris Cuomo talking about me and the EPSC files. And then you got the Guardian that hates my guts, talking about my, quote, pathological obsession with the... Pathological, Jess, Justin. Well, I don't know what... It's almost like they're all making it up, right? It's almost like they're all making it up.

I don't know if the obsession was pathological, but... Weird. How the demoralization op uses the exact same tactics as Chris Cuomo and his loser family. What a bunch of losers. Folks, it's the same demoralization op as the Duma class. Dumeristan, Moranistan, Tucker, they just want you to not show up and vote so the country can burn to the ground. It's sociopathic. There is nothing more to it than that, okay?

However, you should ask yourself, is this working? The answer is, it is not. It's not working. not based on polling, when you go out and look at people who are polling Republican voters, the issues you think resonate with them. I'm going to hit them with Epstein. I'm going to hit them questioning everything they did, despite the fact that there's actually trials going on. That's hilarious. Like there's actual trials going on. Despite the fact, these people out there have been sued multiple times for defamation and lying. It's like hilarious to watch

these idiots crash out. Here's Harry Anton on CNN. Folks, listen, if we lose this election because a bunch of Folex MAGA people talked you into a fake narrative to get you to believe that these people in the administration had changed and sold you out, I'm really sorry you fell for it. You really, I can't help you. And you just watched your country turn to crap because you fell for an op. And let me just put this out before I play this clip. I pray for the day. I am not a declassification authority. I cannot release any information.

The DOJ will do that. Some cases in conjunction with the White House, depending on the national security implications. I cannot release anything about anything. It was not my job. It was my job to advocate for it. I cannot release anything now or then. However, I cannot wait for the day

when the information is declassified about how many foreign ops are being run in the United States using social media and how many folks who like to troll our chat were dumb enough to fall for it. I cannot, you're going to be humiliated. I put this out yesterday on X. I may let you apologize later. I haven't decided yet. Depends what kind of mood I'm in.

I was talking to a couple people on X. They were like, ah, don't let, I may, it depends. I'm a forgiving guy. you're going to look so stupid when all this information is to classify about how many of these NPC stories you fell for that are really just ops.

In fact, I can't believe it. It's not really working that well, though. He was even CNN acknowledging a lot of this. Check this out. Republican voting patterns from MAGA GOP. I mean, in the 2024 election, Trump won 99% of MAGA voters. Look at this.

For 2020-26, the congressional vote, Republicans, getting 99%. So the MAGA base is sticking with Republicans going into the midterms. Folks, I'm just giving you the numbers, man. Am I telling you it's going to be some red wave on election day? I'm not telling you the Democrats get pissed off too. I'm just telling you that the Democrats are running an op with Folex MAGA that a lot of people are seeing through because they just don't buy it.

Like, wait, Trump sold us out, Pete sold us out, Dan Castle's like, that doesn't make any sense. And the only people didn't say you right and people being like sued for defamation who've lied to you over. It's comical that you think people fall for this clown show. While we rep every single day, it shows 20 minutes old. We got 41,000 people here. Fill the freaking entire stadium. You can't even fill your parents' garage.

It's hilarious to watch. It's almost comical. All right, I'm going to get to this. I want to show you. You know what can we just do at the Trump rally yesterday? I just want to show you this. Again, Trump sold us out. The administration didn't do anything.

Nothing happened despite everything happening. Trump shows up in Kansas yesterday. There's a line like two, three miles long of cars trying to get into the Kansas route. I just threw Justin a girl. I'm like, I changed my mind. You could even get into the rally. Oh, no, everybody hates them. Nothing happening.

Nothing happening. Tell all these people. You can't even fill up like a garage full of your supporters. If they didn't have bots on X, they'd have nothing. Zero. It'd be humiliating. Good job, fellas. Way to deal with all the curb balls I showed during the show. I'm a starting pitcher. There was like the Phil Necro knuckleball once in a while. Sometimes the cutter like Mariano. You never know what's coming next. And the other thing is, I just, I don't let the catcher call it. I just kind of throw whatever pitch I want. It's like, oh, I got hit that. I thought

I was expected a curveball. It's a fastball. It happens. Folks, what have you, you could delay your next two mortgage payments. Imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and finally getting a little breathing room ahead of the holidays. It's possible when you call American financing today. If you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, groceries, gas, bills piling up, you are not alone. Most Americans are putting these expenses on credit cards and credit card rates are insane in the 20s or even 30s. American financing can show you how to use your home's equity to pay off that debt. Their salary-based mortgage consultants are helping homeowners just like you restructure their loans and save money every month.

There are no upfront fees to find out how much you can save. American financing customers are saving an average of $800 a month. That's like a $10,000 raise without having to change jobs. Huge. American financing, give them a call today. 888-994-7660. Please don't wait. That's 888-994-7660 or visit them online.

It is a dot-net address, American financing. Americanfinancing.net slash bungino. American financing. Dot net slash bungino. Thank you, American financing. Okay, back to the show. Folks, why are 99% of MAGA people, effectively 100% still in this operation to change the country? And why are these people seeing through the op that nothing happened? Well, the answer is because stuff happens every day and you don't have an audience big enough

to get people to believe a story rather than the story. They watch cable news. They watch Fox Newsmax OAM. They're online. They see content creators like me with, you know, hundreds of thousands of listens and 42,000 streamers. It's not a sell pricey. It's just true.

They're just the numbers. Seven and a half million followers. They're getting their information from other people other than you. That's why they see through your demoralization up. That's why your street cred was done a year ago when this whole thing started. Or arguably two years ago, the second Trump got in office. Here, I want to show you what I mean. Here's Mark Wayne Mullen.

Everybody's like, now he's not there. They just move on to someone else. Mark Wayne Mullen, nothing's happening. There's no deportations. He's actually filming the deportations. You can even see the plane behind them. There are deportations. There should be more deport.

Well, what's your argument then? You don't like deportations now? Folks, you understand that planes have, this is going to happen over time. You don't have the logistics capability to in one day get rid of 20 plus million people here illegally. It is not possible. Anyone telling you it's impossible already knows that

and it's just getting you to believe nothing is happening when it is. Here's Mark Wayne Mullen showing you the deportation happening. Check this out. This is in Arizona. Guys, we're doing this all over the country. This plane right here is full of people that enter this country illegally. They should have never came here. We made this very clear.

I don't care if you came here 20 years, 30 years, five years or two years ago, if you enter this country illegally, you didn't follow integration system, we're going to hunt you down, we're going to send you back. We send multiple flights out every day sending you back to where you came from. This is one flight. You can see the workers doing a great job. You got another flight over there. As we pulled up, there's a flight leaving, and there's going to be several more flights today. Department of Homeland Security, our job is to keep America safe. We can't do that if we don't know who's in our country. In order to have national security, you've got to know who's in your country. Keep in mind.

mind, people that center to this country legally underneath the Biden administration, we've arrested 2,268 terrorists that were roaming in our country, that were let free because of an open border policy. That stopped with President Trump. Folks, what else could you possibly need to hear? This guy leaves his Senate seat to go serve as DHS secretary. He had a nice, cushy job, a Senate seat in Oklahoma. I don't mean cushy in terms of easy. I mean, like, the chances of him losing that seat. ever were nil. I don't know Mark Wayne that well. It's not personal. I met him a couple times. I met him at Charlie's funeral service in Arizona. Always very kind to me. I have no agenda

here. I just saw it myself from the inside. The second this guy gets in within a day or two, I can't believe this guy sucks. Nothing's happening. What? Do you not see this operation is completely inauthentic? It doesn't matter who's in there. Mark, Wayne Mullen, Mullen, Wayne Martin, Joey bag of donuts, Janie bag of donuts. It doesn't matter. Anyone who goes into the Trump administration, they're going to try to demoralize you to believe what they're doing isn't actually being done. Here's even a left.

This is a, you know Antoine C. Right? He's a liberal. He used to do a lot of Fox. Here's even a liberal who gets completely like sidetracked when he's confronted with what actually happened that the boy. and he doesn't even know how to respond because even the liberal knows it's true that President Trump promised you he's going to shut the border

and did. So why would there be a narrative out there to get you to believe your preexisting notion that he would shut the border didn't happen? Because it's a lie, number one. But if the lie concrete tries, it's effective. That's why they do it. There's no morals in this or morality.

Here, watch this yourself. Every president on the Republicans that runs on immigration, but yet they will not fix the problem. Where you and I disagree is the president is underwater according to several polls that have been released on the issue of immigration. They will not fix the problem. Who closed the border? Then why don't Americans agree?

Who closed the border? So you tell me an immigration? No, no, no, no, who closed the border? Are you telling me? You won't say it. You won't say it. You won't say it. No.

He doesn't tell me nobody's coming over the border? Yes. I think he has a impact crack down on border crossings, which is one of the reasons the deportations has become. He has not fixed the problem. She's saying he's fixed the problem. He closed the border. There has been no. legal crime?

They don't even know how to respond. It's amazing how like the leftist tactics are the exact same as the demoralization op trying to get you to not show up in these midterms. It's the exact same tactics. Bring up Epstein. Bring up there's no deportations. Don't mention the fact that all of these narratives have already been addressing. Don't mention it.

Just pretend nothing's happening to get people to stay at home. It's the exact same thing. What about this? Nothing's happening at DOJ either. You sure? Here's the Attorney General, Todd Blanche, yesterday, talking about a massive nationwide crackdown on meth and fentanyl. Do we care about this?

I do. I have kids. Do you want your kids to get dead? I don't want my kids to get dead. Meth and fentanyl? Probably a pretty bad thing, right? Kind of the thing you. you'd vote on. Maybe you're not a one-issue voter on the drug war, but that fine. But is it not

matter at all? And I thought they told you the Dumers that nothing happened. Well, here it is. This is the show where we told you. This is the receipt show. It's why we're kicking ass every single day while these others nip at our heels. Because we own these people, these freaking idiots every single time. Here's the attorney general, given you just, again, numbers on what's actually happening. This is the stuff you should vote on, not opinions, facts. Check this out. against four members of a drug organization in the Philadelphia area that were allegedly selling 1,600 individual bags of fentanyl every single day. We have gotten, when we catch you, and we will, we have sentences of a combined 45 years in prison for two co-defendants from Monroe

County convicted of conspiracy to traffic fentanyl resulting in the death. of several individuals. We had a 17 and a half year prison sentence for an individual from Newcastle who distributed fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, while he was on federal supervised release after having his prior drug sentence commuted by President Biden.

US overdose tests, you saw the headline if you're listening on radio, have absolutely plunged. Does that matter or no, no, it doesn't matter me. I want my kid to OD on drugs. Like, how is that a position? How is that a position? Well, Dan, I'm not just a one-issue voter on drugs.

There it is. US overdose deaths decreased for third consecutive year in 2025. I thought that was a good thing. I thought there was a good thing. Numbers plunging to the lowest we've ever seen. No, no, I want my kid to get dead. Like that's a political... Is that a bumper sticker?

Vote Democrat. Get your kid dead because of meth and fentanyl? It's just bizarre. Here's a series of local headlines. Maybe you don't believe the national news. From FBI's summer heat, violent crime crackdown. Again, is that your position? Vote Democrats. Let's bring violent crime back.

Make, make violent crime great again. There we go. We need a hat. Can you put a blue hat together, Andy? We just need to make violent crime great again. Here are local headlines. FBI crackdown leads to 88 arrests in Chicago, dozens of guns seized. Operation Summer Heat combats violent crime in Arkansas. 223 arrests in Alabama on Summer Heat.

FBI Summer Heat leads to 9,000 arrests targeting violent crime. Someone tell Ken. The lady in FBI's Columbia, violent crime operations, suppresses previous year's success. Summer Heat 2.0 results in 100 of arrests across Louisiana. FBI touts record drop in violent crime after Operation Summer Heardt. You get the points on Cash's Instagram, but you can read the headlines yourself. They're not made up. But the Democrats are running on make violent crime great again.

That's a thing? So are the demoralization of people, who again. want to tell you nothing is happening. Thankfully, their audience is a fraction of mine where we tell you what's actually happening with receipts. I'll show you some hard evidence coming up in this too, but say you're, now I know what you're thinking. All right, Dan, drugs, violent crime, the reindustrialization of America, all going good,

border shutdown, deportations, fantastic. You know what? I care about election integrity. Good, me too. We've only talked about it for 10 years on the show. hammered it. We did entire shows and segments on the Save Act. I wish that would have happened. The Senate didn't come through for us on that.

I thought they should have dumped the filibuster. Some senators didn't agree. However, that's not a reason to stay home because there is a massive nationwide crackdown of voter front. No, there isn't. I heard from podcast to stand that nothing's happening. Okay. Here is the acting deputy attorney general, the DAG, Trent McCotter,

announcing 28 more arrests for voter fraud. I thought nothing was happening. Here's the show where we show you again, what's actually happening. Check this out. This morning we're announcing that the Department of Justice has charged 28 foreign nationals across the state of California

with various voting and registration crimes, among others. In particular, they're charged with some combination of unlawful voting by an alien, a false claim of U.S. citizenship in order to vote, in order to vote or register to vote, and knowingly depriving the residents of California of a fair and impartial election process. At least eight of these defendants allegedly voted more than once illegally, including some in the 2026 primary.

This Department of Justice will not look the other way while non-citizens vote in federal elections. But again, that's very good. go there's the there's the reverse maga hat democrats make america violent again mafa that is that's the doob that's the do there's a new york post headline too inside the biggest voter fraud bust in california's history as a network of 28 democracy defying cons are snared they're running on the exact same narratives destructive lies that the people you put in there that you trust that you trusted before that they've somehow abandoned you and you should sit home and we should hand the country to a group of people that are not only going to cheat in your elections now but cheat in perpetuity

when they pass laws like banning voter ID that will ensure we never have a free and fair election against. That sounds fair to you? Hotlyge. Here, you got Fox on now. DOJ investigating liberal DA from Philadelphia. Larry Krasn's office. Nothing's happening.

The story just before, DOJ somehow Ilhan Omar's DNA, that investigation. I don't know anything was happening there either. See it right there up on the screen right now. See the timer on the show. Folks, another thing you've been told isn't happening that the Trump administration is running on is a massive crackdown on politically directed violence. And a lot of that, matter of fact, a huge chunk of it comes from the left. And one of the biggest proponents of left-wing violence is Antifa.

They are an anti-First Amendment group. I don't care what they tell you they are. Antifa is a cancerous plague on humankind. So I thought this segment was kind of weird. Now, can we all acknowledge Andy No? Andy No has done amazing work exposing Antifa. NGO, as he spells the same. Andy, give him a follow on X.

I can make a strong case to you. People have done, but no one's done more than Andy No to expose Antifa and what it is. So Andy No is a guest on Tucker's show, who again is just married to this demoralization update. Everybody sold you up at him. In spite of the fact, he lies about everything, including him being asked to host my show. I didn't ask him to do. Vince did that. I had nothing to do.

I don't know what he was even talking. He just makes up everything. I have these texts. I already showed you the text. They say the exact opposite. The guy's just a fraud. But here he is right before the election. He brings on Andy No, and he didn't expect this answer.

It's just beautiful when they go. guy gets wrecked on his own show. He's like, yeah, man, I don't think anything really happened with the Antifa. It didn't? Did you miss the news? Like, it's kind of your job to read the news. How'd you miss that? The answer is he didn't miss it. I just think he thought Andy would go along to get along, but he didn't. Watch this and there's a little bit of a jump cut where Andy even explains from at the end that, hey, you know, the DOJ and FBI got the first successful prosecutions and investigations into Antifa and U.S. history. Like, did you miss that? He didn't miss it. He's just lying about it because that's what he does. Check this out.

surprised that two years into this administration, we still haven't seen a systematic attempt to understand what Antifa is and who pays for it. Where's that? I actually think the administration has done a good job. I'll name out sort of the things I've been taken by the federal government. A lot of people forget or don't remember what's happened. So in the autumn of last year, Donald Trump announced that his administration would be treating Antifa as domestic terrorists. It was a big executive order. The executive order is just a statement. He had said something very similar in 2020 when the riots were happening, and no action was taken at that time.

But from there, then the State Department prescribed banned for European anti-fate groups. So making them designated foreign terrorist organizations, meaning that if you provide support for them, you can be criminally prosecuted in the United States. That was the first time an international antifal group had ever been prescribed by the U.S. government. There was a really big case actually earlier this year in Texas. A federal prosecution was the first time that accused Antifa members of the North Texas Antifa have been charged with providing material support to terrorism, attempted murder, and many, many other felonies. So there have been 15 who have been federally prosecuted and are accused in charging documents of being part of an Tifa Network. So there are things being done. I mean, you could just read the material.

Oh, look at that. That's a DOJ press release. Crazy. I don't remember this. Antifa cell members convicted in Prairie Land Ice Detention Center shooting. March 11, 2026. I remember that case. I was there when the whole case went down. But Tucker told you it didn't happen. I don't know what's up with Cucker. he's got some kind of thing going where he just like, here's the thing I really, this is why I put out that ex post yesterday and I meant it. A lot of people get swayed by snake oil salesmen. Snake oil salesmen are pretty good.

Look at the snake oil. It's going to heal all your wounds. You're going to make the pain go away. And then all of a sudden, after taking the snake oil and throwing up and realized that do anything, eventually there's this wake-up moment. I'm really sorry, you fell, for this grift and this scam. I mean, if the receipts and the truth don't matter to you now, they will at some point. Because when real material losses impact you because you fell for the demoralization up and stayed home and your borders open up,

the voter integrity measures at DOJ stop, the investigations into prominent far-left Democrats and political corruption stops, Antifa comes and takes over your neighborhood again, I promise you you're going to come back. And like I said, maybe not to this show, but. I say back to the movement. If I'm in a good mood, we'll consider, like, letting it all go. I don't know. Others may not. I'm sorry you get lied to all that. And it's almost comical how I want you to look this up, too, in case you don't need me to do all

your homework. I mean, you can do it yourself. You guys and ladies are really smart. Go look up NSPM 7, National Security Presidential Remedumorandum. Tucker knows about it. He's just lying to you. It was so important to the president that he put out a national security presidential memorandum nspm 7 look it up yourself to investigate the entire left-wing

funding apparatus behind this political violence including antiva you can just look it up he knows that again he's just lying to you he lies about everything all the time even stupid things he asked me to guest host the show uh i did not i'd have a show i was in the fbi i vince had the show i don't even know what you're talking about total clown oh boy folks these people lie endlessly All of them. And it's not just them. They learn these tricks from the Democrats. Here's a guy who is allied with a lot of, allied with a lot of Folex MAGA people, because he does the same thing. This is one of the biggest pieces of garbage in the House, probably in House or Senate, up on Capitol Hill. Roe Kana, liberal Democrat, this guy is garbage. He is human filth. He's the biggest liar fraud you've ever seen.

When that whole cancel culture thing was going on after January 6th, it was Roe Conna who was out there celebrating the takedown of a lot of these sites canceling people. Roe Conna is the biggest fraud I have ever seen. And he's a liar and a fake and a phony. I'm sitting there this morning, getting ready for work, and I've got this little TV on. And I see he's on Fox and Friends. The French riots where they're tearing the city to people. Tearing it down because of left-wing violence, the Trump administration is actually doing something about.

Ro Khanna goes on Fox and says, hey, man, this is really about like tax cuts and the French government not spending enough. Look, can we do this in reverse? Put up the chat GPT first. The French government's not spending enough? Their tax rate is effectively like 50% of their GDP. Are you nuts? No, he's just a liar. Here, chat GPT.

Has the French federal government cut spending any time in the last five years? No, based on France's central government spending figures, the French government has not reduced its total annual spending in nominal euros during any of the last five completed years. There it is right there. But you listen to this piece of garbage, Ro Khanna. Again, he loves figures in the demoralization op in Folex Maga. They love each other.

They use the exact same tactics. Lie, lie, lie, obfuscate, redirect, red squirrel. And some people, not a lot, but some people fall for it. Here he is on Fox and Friends this morning. He's totally making this up. Very few countries in the industrialized world taxed their citizens as much as France does. What a clown. Check this out. This is about wealth inequality, wrecking a city.

First of all, let me just unequivocally condemn rioting and vandalism and violence. But look, here's what happened. Macron cut taxes for the wealthy. He cut both corporate taxes and he cut wealth taxes on real estate. And students have lost funding for schools. Their schools are crumbling. They're less teachers. They're overcrowded.

And they took to the streets. Now, for Vice President Vance to say that this is somehow immigrants doing this, I mean, does he understand France? France has had a history of protesting since the French Revolution. It's the most French thing to do. Realize what happened in the French Revolution? Andrew, you're a history guy, right? Josh, you like, does he, people?

He went there. He went there. He went there. Corny but funny. Corny but funny. Andrew said they were having so much fun in the French Revolution. They lost their freaking heads. Oh, did Roe Con did you say that on the air?

Not only is this total dip wad lying to you about the overflowing level of taxation and government welfare in France. He doesn't even understand the French Revolution. Forty-five thousand people. Yes. Fill that stadium up every day. I thought the show was dying. You know what I love, by the way, the crash outs on X. Have you seen these? I reposted one yesterday. It's fantastic. I strongly recommend you check it out. I absolutely love it when people on X think we're making this stuff up because they're just Dumerops. And they're like, I put out this post yesterday.

We had huge live stream numbers yesterday. We had 47,000 people. It's a big number. I don't know what is easily top five. However, I want to thank the audience. So, of course, one of these zeros on X-Thing, hey, Grock, is he telling the truth? Grock's like, yeah, he had 47,300.

It was a pretty big numbers. Well, he's clearly like faking the numbers. Like, no, actually he's not. It's on Rumble. Well, doesn't he own Rumble? No, he doesn't own Rumble? a stockholder in Rumble, a minority one at best, and Rumble is a publicly traded company subject to verification by third party.

The back and forth, the crash out was just epic. I love when they do that groc thing and they get totally wrecked. I leave it there for everyone to see because it's so funny to watch. Go check it out on my Twitter feed. It happens all the time. Watching them face plant over and over. No, the third party must be a scam. Yes, everything's a scam.

I'm sure. Everything's escape. But your guy. Your guy's legit. The liars. Folks, Data Republican is a really good follow on X. I strongly recommend you check out the account. This is a really important piece of audio. She exposed. It is a group renewed to thrive. It's one of these left-wing groups full of former government employees that I believe were involved in an extensive funding network through non-government organizations. where the money would make it back to left-wing causes. So exactly what Tucker told you wasn't happening, which is happening now, that investigation under NSPM 7.

This is an important piece of audio. It's about a minute, but you can see the whole thing on the data Republican ex-account. I encourage you to check it out. She does a lot of good work exposing this stuff. I want you to listen to the grift in the game. Now, these are what appear to be like hardcore leftists, but I want you to hear about how they want you to lose faith completely

in any kind of governing at the national level, even when they're your own people, so that they can tear the whole thing apart. And it sounds a lot like what the demoralization op is trying to do to you against the Trump administration. Mullen, Hegset, me, cash, Trump. Sounds like the exact same thing. However, this is a leftist.

But listen up and overlay, on what you're hearing from Dumeristan. Check this out. Federal government seemed to be illegitimate by whatever crossing of whatever red lines, and everyone agrees to that, then the governors become the leading governing authority under the current Republic framework of our Constitution. So this memo was designed for them.

We've gotten into governors safeguarding democracy, and they're reviewing it and considering it. We also have done direct outreach to try to get it to governors in Wisconsin, Utah and Washington State. I really want to emphasize this is not a concept for a secession. No one is talking about leaving the United States. They just want to dismantle it as you see it now and get you to lose faith.

These are leftists talking about this. Do you notice it's the exact same op? Everybody screwed you over, trust no one, except me. Except me. I'm telling you the truth. Yeah, but you've actually being sued for defamation. You've been exposed as a liar multiple times. Some of you have your own connections to the Epstein case, which is quite bizarre.

But you should trust me. Strange. Other than the people who actually did the work, almost sounds like they're trying to get you to lose faith. So they can rebuild in their own image and likeness, which is the same image they share with Roe Conner. They want total chaos so that you will put your faith in these new, this new oligarchy of power brokers and influencers. It's right there. They talk about it openly.

You know who's savvy to this out, by the way? President Trump, who's called these grifters and losers out so many times, it's like at this point, it's like, you know, all you got to do is look. He's not afraid to call these people out ever because he's done what he said he was going to do. And they're trying to overlay a destructive political narrative onto President Trump that the guy you somehow trusted has somehow changed. It's hilariously stupid. Here he is yesterday calling out Alyssa Slotkin,

this absolutely insane Democrat from Michigan, who pretends to be a moderate, who's talking about locking up and intimidating a bunch of college kids. You want to go work for Republican causes? That actually happened. President Trump totally gets the danger from this left-wing, Folex-Maga symbiosis trying to destroy the country.

Here he was on the South Grounds. talking about exactly this yesterday. It's quick, but check it out. Senator Slotkin, a Democrat. She says she wants there to be prosecutions of Republicans to scare conservatives, young conservatives from going into office. I know. I had a hell of a statement.

So Slotkin said that there should be prosecutions in order to scare people from going into politics. That's a Democrat, and that's what they do. That's all they're good at. And you know what? That's why they're getting their asses can. Again, you think this guy sold you down the river? What evidence do you have of that?

You know, Andrew Colvette, maybe we should use this tomorrow. Can you guys take a note? Andrew Colvette from Turning Point did a really fantastic segment. I should have put it in today. I'm sorry. I'll get to it tomorrow, though. You can watch it on X2. He did this segment on President Trump's promises.

In other words, the political narrative, here's what I'm going to do. And the results. It's almost like a perfect one-to-one. It's almost like a perfect one-to-one. And yet other people in Dumas stand and on the left are trying to tell you none of that stuff happened despite the fact it actually happened. You can go look it up yourself. He's no different and neither is anyone else, the people who you believed in.

When you finally wake up to it, you'll be back here or elsewhere. They always have. We go through every few years I see the Doomer Op like this. People act like it's new. Like, oh my gosh, we're so creative. is the first. It's all, it's all junk. Now, here's Alyssa Slotkin, totally crashing out yesterday, realizes she said something that's probably going to alter the, uh, the midterm elections. Because now the reason that was so destructive coming from this Democrat, this is important, folks,

I need you to hear this, is because Slotkin always portrayed herself as like a sane, you know, moderate kind of voice. She's like, I was former CIA. She was an analyst, okay? From what I know, He's not a case officer, okay? Not diminishing. I'm just saying, like, get over yourself, okay? Here's Alyssa Slotkin, completely freaking out an MSNOWW yesterday, blaming her misstep, telling you who she really is, and exposing the Democrats' operation to destroy you again with a weaponized government,

blaming it on misogyny because I'm a woman. They do this trick every single time. It's old. No one's fallen for it. Check this out. about being a woman and criticizing them and calling them out on that corruption that really gets under their skin, obviously, or they wouldn't respond, you know, remember the Second Amendment's sweetheart or all that crap. But I think it's more that it's not speaking to them. It's speaking to the people who are potentially going to be asked to follow illegal requests, right? It's speaking directly to the people who are on the receiving end of this administration.

They do this every single time. exhausting. You see in podcastistan too. Oh my gosh, we're such victims. Oh, I can't believe it. I can't believe they're going. No one's going after anyone. I've said a thousand times. We're about winning this. Believe me, I can spend all day discrediting these losers and all their documented history of lying to you. We can just put up side by side. You'd be like, well, that didn't happen. That didn't happen either. It's not the point. It's the same trick. Red Squirrel, distract people, move on to something else. It must be that I'm a woman.

It's all crap. I saw this video yesterday. Folks, this is a really, really, really high quality video. Do you know Josh Howard? Now, full disclosure, a family member of his works with me, nothing to do with it. But I at all, however, I just want to be clear that I, I know the family. I don't know Josh.

Well, I've never met him, but I do know a family member has. Josh Howarden is, he's a faith-based kind of influencer out there. And there is this perception about elections that I've tried to dispel in folks often that we're not with you. I don't mean to sound in any way like I'm putting anybody down. I'm not doing that. But there's a perception out there that we're voting for perfection or a candidate who's got to be with us all the time or we're voting.

voting for the next guy to be beatified and get sainthood. Folks, you're not. You're voting for a government that is going to be imperfect in so many ways. And sometimes you are faced, and I know this isn't what a lot of people want to hear. I get it. But it's the truth if you don't want to get dead. Sometimes you are voting for a series of really imperfect choices. And the only option you have is who is the least imperfect choice?

Who's going to move the ball on things that matter to me? Pro life, Second Amendment, whatever it is. I know that's not like the sexiest message in the world in politics. You want to believe like we're voting for, you know, this group of George Washington like patriots. You're going to get a Washington once in a while. You're going to get a guy who puts it on the line like Trump who goes for it. But that's very rare.

Sometimes you're voting for a series of imperfect candidates. But the level of imperfection on the Democrat side, almost every single time far surpasses what you're going to get with even the worst Republican candidate. Josh Howard makes a really great point in this. This is super important. I want you to listen to this. How this voting, it's not a sacrament, folks.

Check this out. A lot of Christians misunderstand this during election season. So here are three things that a vote is not. All right, number one, a vote is not a Valentine. So Christians should never vote based on who's cool, cute, or funny. Because when choosing a political leader in First Samuel, God said, don't look at his outward appearance. Man looks at that. But God looks at the heart.

So we don't vote for somebody based on vod. or he has the same skin color as me, or she'd be the first woman president because the vote is not a Valentine. Number two, a selection is not a sacrament. So a lot of Christians just end up not voting because they see flawed candidates like we have now and they think that it's wrong for a Christian

to vote for a sinful leader. But Jesus said you are the salt of the earth and salt is a preservative to slow decay. So when voting, a Christian isn't asking who's free from flaws. A Christian is asking whose policies are most likely to slow societal decay. Number three, in the words of my friend, Pastor Riam Visconti, a ballot box is not a mailbox for you to send a message. And a lot of well-meaning but naive Christians are frustrated with the current candidates and they think, well, I'm just not going to vote or I'm going to write it in a third party to send a message.

But the purpose of voting isn't to make a point. It's to make a difference. don't waste your chance to make a difference trying to make a point that nobody is going to read guys only jesus gets your heart but don't get confused about casting your vote thank you josh i see a lot of comments in the chat a lot of people like josh howard and maybe we'll feature more of his content i like that too a vote is not in fact a sacrament these are not your preachers or your faith-based leaders a lot of these people running for office folks, I'm just going to be straight with you, are not even really good people.

I know that's disappointing to hear. However, the worst people are the Rokanas of the world who want to actively fight against everything you believe in, your faith, your family, your freedoms, the bill of rights. They're imperfect choices, but they are choices. There are level 10 decisions in life. Sometimes in a really bad race with an awful Republican and an even worse Democrats, a level 10 decision. There's a crap decision and a crappier one.

The crappier decision is almost always the Democrat, nearly every single time. Thank you, Josh. Folks, as I said before, we got election night coverage on election night. I've got an interview coming up for you. I need you to see. Do you know what's happening with your kids? I know, since we won the last presidential election,

there's been a massive crackdown nationwide on racist DEI. And DEI is racism. It is. It's not reverse racism. It's just racist. If your skin is white, you're a bad person. It's just plain racism. I'm reverse racism, okay?

However, do you know what SEL is? You need to. I got about a 15-minute interview coming up with Sam Sorbo. You may know her. Her husband, Kevin, is a great guy.

It's a real pleasure to welcome to the show. A very good friend. You want to talk about an activist who has really put it out there, put her name on the line. and really got the work done.

She's about to do, not to talk. Sam Sorbo, Sam, I really appreciate you coming on the show today. This is going to be a real eye-opener for parents out there who are concerned about their children and what's going on in school. So thanks for all you do first for the movement. Well, thank you for that lovely introduction. It's a pleasure to be here with you.

I ran into you at Club 47, an amazing club. We were backstage before I was going out for his speech and he said, I'd really love to come on the show and talk about what's going on in our kids' schools. And most importantly, the tools parents have to go out and fight against the indoctrination of their kids. You know as well as anyone, because you've been in this business a long time fighting for the kids. A lot of school, not every school, some good charters, some religious schools, some private schools,

not every school. But sadly, a large swath of our public schooling system and elsewhere have been taken over and hijacked by leftist ideology. They become indoctrination factories. And these schools, some of them act like their unwanted surrogate parents. This is a real issue because our kids, Sam, are in these schools, you know, eight hours, 10 hours a day sometimes. I mean, we cannot allow this to happen right under our noses.

Yeah, I think, in fact, our culture has in a sense abdicated parenting to the schools. It was sort of a by mutual agreement in a sense. But now parents are waking up and saying, well, wait, wait a minute, I didn't really sign up for this much surrogate parenting, as you put it. And so the thing that I really wanted to talk to you about was the social emotional learning, which is sort of affiliated with DEI. It's the vehicle with which they propagate DEI in the schools.

But it's so much more than that. And that's what's problematic is that it is, it's cloaking the indoctrination in this idea that it's, well, it's social and it's emotional learning. teaching children to be kind and to share and to not bully. And doesn't everybody want that? But in fact, they're doing so much more than that. They're surveying the kids.

They're encouraging them in sexual behaviors. They're doing it's just so much more than that. And because of the cloaking, because it's cloaked with this mental health kind of camouflage, it's getting in right underneath parents' noses. In fact, I know a school board member who is not actually allowed to see the curriculum. And he serves on the school board.

In fact, he's supposed to vote it through, but he's not allowed to see it. Sam, that's kind of shocking. I wasn't ready for that. Is school board, you would think they'd be, you know, access to school materials. That seems kind of self-evident. You know, the liberal progressive destruction of America and the destruction of objective values, you know,

God, faith, objective values that are immutable. inalienable rights, as our Constitution refers to them, for subjective government-oriented rights, has been the vehicle for that, has been the schools. I have received, and I told you this before we chatted on the air here, outside of like the death penalty and abortion and other hot button topics I really care about, there's nothing I've received more emails about than SEL, this social-emotional learning scam.

That's why I really wanted you on to talk about. of today because it's a it's a it's a euph-a-democrats love euphemisms they love word games this has nothing to do with social emotional emotional learning it's a way to imbue in the kids a set of values independent of objective learning in other words two plus two equals four let's forget about that how do you really feel about two plus two equals four but i guess for the parents out there what should they be looking for in their kids school as as kind of like a you know a beacon uh a reverse bat signal that this SEL is there. Should they be asking the school board members? Should they be talking to the principal about this? How do we do this? It's very difficult because

the people who are propagating it, the people who are for it are very good at sort of distracting from it and obfuscating. And so, for instance, there have been cases where people, the parents have tried to see the material. And they are sort of, sort of, sort of delayed, okay, we're going to get it to you. It'll be a little bit. We have to do some things. You have to sign some papers or whatever. And then by the time they roll around to saying, okay, we can give it to you. Oh, the license has expired. And so now we don't have access to it. So if you pay $4,000, you can sort of license it for yourself and then you'll be able to see what's in it. Or, for instance, there was a case here in Florida where they went to court to actually see the

materials. And you know, in Florida, we have the Sunshine Laws, which means that parents are allowed to see the things that their children are being taught in school. But the judge, in defiance of the Sunshine Law, said, you have four hours to review, you know, months of curriculum. You have four hours to review hours and hours of video instruction. And by the way, you will be supervised by the people who have the curriculum. They will supervise. They will not answer any questions. And you may not record anything with either a phone or a camera or anything like that. So there's a reason that they're obfuscating. There's a reason that they don't want parents to see it. And I'll be, I'll be frank with you. Forgive me. But if somebody is trying to get something past you and they don't

want you to see it and it has to do with your children, they're fired. I wouldn't have, I wouldn't allow them access to your child. I would say, okay, we're not going to do this anymore. we're going to a different school, although this curriculum is in schools nationwide. They brag about the number of schools that they're in. And in fact, they've even gotten access into private schools. So there are no guarantees. The real guarantee is homeschooling, which, of course, I'm an advocate for. So I will advocate for that.

Yes. I'm with you on that. We're talking to Sam Sorbo, a tremendous activist for our children, our children's future. I strongly suggest, by the way, you follow her. social media. It's S-O-R-B-O. If the name sounds familiar, yes, her husband is a legendary Kevin Sorbo, but Sam has her own. Sam is defined by herself, but Kevin's a great guy too. I don't want to neglect that, but I don't introduce people by their spouses because you've done. And I think Kevin would acknowledge you some amazing, amazing work on your own. Sam, now here's the what can we do part.

You know, the do matters you've been doing this forever. Talk is cheap in this space. parents do have tools to fight back against indoctrination in schools. And one of them is the PPRA. There was an interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal a few weeks ago. And the gist of the piece was exactly that. If you feel like your kids are being taught things that are totally inappropriate outside of the scope of schooling, you should use this PPRA. And there are others we'll get into too.

But what is that? How does it work? And how can parents use it? So you can request information from the schools. I say they obfuscate. So it's a little bit difficult to use. It's not as easy as all that. If it's a federally funded school, they are obligated to give you the information. It's hard to find information for a couple of reasons. One, you're dealing with children. You don't know if your children are going to tell you if they've done a sex survey, for instance, in their school or something like

that. These are things they purposely talk to kids about things that are, you know, difficult to talk about. And so that makes it even more difficult. There's also FERPA where you can actually, you know, sue to get materials and to get information from the schools. But again, they're trained to obfuscate. And there's a reason that they're trying to put this into the schools. There's a reason that they're trying to train children in these ideologies. And by the way, it is all Marxism. You know, let's not miss words.

This is communism, plain and simple. This is a way of isolating children and making them. feel certain things so that they will behave a certain way. It's a way of profiling children so that, and their data collecting as well, so that they can then profile children for later on in life. And these are all very dangerous tactics that are being employed on our children. So while we can do things inside the schools to try to ameliorate that and try to staunch the onslaught, let's say, we're, we're, we're, a little bit at a loss. I'm about saving our kids. And so I'm encouraging parents, save your children.

Don't, don't expose your children to this in the first place. Your child's innocence is a one-time offer. If that innocence is shattered, it's shattered for good. And that is what's happening in our schools. We see it in the textbooks. We see it in the reading materials that they're supplying to children where, you know, somebody goes and reads the actual book that's in the schools and he's escorted out because he's reading pornography and the school board doesn't want to hear it. But those books are available to children inside the schools. You see, the problem is bank robbers go to banks and banks put in security systems. Child predators go to schools and the schools don't have the system's input. And in fact, the child predators have infiltrated and they become the bank tellers in the

schools. And so now what? Now what? Because the SEL, let's let's talk for a second about what SEL isn't. It's not academics. Why is it in the schools at all? It's not academics. And there was a great debate years ago over school choice. And the school choice proponents were saying parents should be teaching their children values. The schools don't want to teach values. And the schools were saying, oh, but the schools are there to teach values because that's the purpose of schooling. But that wasn't the outset. That wasn't the initial purpose of the schooling. The initial purpose of the schooling that we were sold was, hey, it's about the academics. Now they're not accomplishing the academics. And that's why I'm saying to parents, you're not losing anything but taking your children out

because they're not accomplishing the academics anyway. So what is it about? What is education really about? It should be about values. And if it's really about values, you are the perfect person to teach your child about the values that you hold so dear. I'm so glad you brought that up. because when you look at just results and data, I'm not asking, you know, what does Ben say, facts, don't care about your feelings. I'm just asking you to evaluate actual facts. Even if you're watching,

and you're a liberal progressive who hates my guts and you watch to troll the show, fine, fair enough, that you're entitled to your opinion. I'm just asking you to look at data, data from states, departments of education, federal, you know, federal education entities. What Sam just said there is correct. you've got upwards of sometimes 50% of students in deep blue cities that can't even read at grade level, sometimes even more.

I mean, they're not even doing basic things like reading, writing, and arithmetic. But this is where I wanted to go with this, Sam. Because we're talking to Sam Sorbo, education activist. Sam, I've sensed a shift here. I don't know what started it. I've seen theories out there that COVID, where kids were being schooled from, home and parents started listening in and we're like, what the heck is this stuff? I don't know. Maybe that helped. I don't know what I personally think it was a lot of President Trump breaking down

a lot of these walls and conservatism gaining a foothold again. But have you sensed this shift as well? You see this mass movement towards homeschooling, school choice gaining ground, even now blue states like Kathy Hochel in New York and others being pressured into joining these school choice federal programs now. I've sensed a little bit of a shift. I don't think it's happening quick enough, but I do see it happening. I think there's definitely a shift, and it definitely had to do a little bit with COVID because parents started to realize the schlock that was passing for education in our schools, and they're going, wait a minute, I mean, that's not good.

And so, you know, we're 50th among 50 nations for education. And we spend more than almost every other country on our nation. children in school. And so we're not getting the job done. But you talk about, oh, the kids can't read at grade level. What's grade level? It's eroded over time so that a eighth grade level from 100 years ago would be PhD level today, basically. Right. Right. We're not even talking apples to apples. And so our entire school system has deteriorated, but they've covered their tracks. They've moved the goalposts as they've gone along. And so we're not even aware that, you know, the kids should be reading these books, but they can't even read those books now. They can't even read the worst

books. And so, you know, we really, this is what I encourage parents to do in my advocacy for homeschooling. I say, take a step back and think about what it is you desire for your child's life. What do you want them to be sort of when they grow up in terms of a human being? And then, see if the school, if schooling, because they're not getting an education, they're being schooled, if conformity, because that is one of the highest values in our schools, if money, because that's one of the highest values in our schools, if those are the goals that you have for your children, for them to be pursuing dollars and pursuing conformity, you know, if those are the goals, then the school, that's probably a good place for them. But if those are not your goals, if you

want your child to be an individual who knows how to love people, people and knows how to forgive people and knows how to be a good citizen. The school's probably not the place for them to learn that. They're learning anti-citizenship. They're learning to be activists against the government in our schools. And that's part of the social-emotional learning. Also, I failed to mention before, social-emotional learning is actually making counselors out of teachers. They're not qualified to become counselors, but it's just putting them in these unwitting

sort of situations where they have to counsel. students and they shouldn't be doing that. The teachers are getting fed up with this. I saw on a text the other day, a post the other day, a young teacher saying, this is my first year and I can't, I can't hack it. It's so awful. I can't, I can't bear to do it. And the other teachers were responding, yeah, the first year's the worst. It gets easier. It's the third year where you really start to hit your stride. It's because it's an unnatural paradigm that teaching is so hard. It shouldn't be hard. Children are natural learners. They're imbued with curiosity. Why would it be hard to teach a child? What's hard is the whole paradigm, 30 students in a classroom, 30 unruly students who aren't being

parented at home because we've sort of done away with parenting at home because we think the schools are going to take care of it all. That's what's hard. And parents really ought to think twice about sending their children into that environment. You know, the one thing that parents always say is, what about socialization? What about it? Why would you want your child to be socialized with a bunch of hoodlums? Like, think about that. You want your child to be courteous and considerate. And who's going to teach them that? Not the teacher, not the other students. You're going to teach them that. That's why you're homeschool. Folks, and to the other hosts out there, you know, many who I agree with, some I have some differences with, even on our side of the aisle. I strongly encourage you to have

Sam on your show, you know, really, because she knows a ton of about this? No, it's really true. I don't, I'm an activist at heart and the clicks and stuff don't really matter to me. It's the ideas that matter. And this SEL curse, I know you've heard a DEI, heard a critical race theory. You've probably heard of critical theory, the forefather of critical race theory. But so few people have heard about this SEL cancer. But the people who know, Sam, like I have this activist on ex-Lisa sends me stuff on SEL all the time. They are so concerned about the future of the country through this SEL cancer. And you're such a great vehicle to get the warning. You're like the Paulette Rivera this that I really encourage other hosts ever.

Let me just wrap up here, Sam, on this question. The Trump administration has been big advocates at the federal level for school choice. We've seen what Linda McMahon and others have done. There have been a number of EO's executive orders on everything from, you know, DEI to graduate school funding. You know, how do you rate the administration on the entire ecosystem of the education problem we have in America in terms of indoctrination and results? Well, I will say that the weaponization working group just came out with a report based on a roundtable that I held at the DOJ that involved the FBI, Linda McMahon, the DOJ, obviously, Vince Haley, and Jim Jordan, who did the research on the targeting of parents under Merrick Garland, under Biden. with the FBI involvement. And the report was just released and they did find that there were several cases that need further investigation of parents who were just, these were, these were peaceful parents who were speaking out against some of the COVID stuff, some of the SEL stuff,

some of the pornography in the schools. And they were then targeted by their school boards and by the lawyers for the school boards, which of course, the school boards are heavily funded. And so it's not a fair fight. Some of these people's lives were absolutely ruined. And so this administration is doing things. It's very slow going. That's the way government works. It is very slow. But they are paying attention. I will say the EOs were, they were an excellent move by the administration and they're ineffective because the zealots inside the schools who want access to the children in this manner are ignoring them. And the administration may not be. aware of that? I don't know. I don't know what other abilities it has at its disposal.

You know, there's the federal level and then schools are local. And so there's a little bit of a basically they just have the power of the purse and it's not enough power probably. Although I'm not advocating for more power to federal. I would advocate for schools to be more local, not less. And as for the school choice, I am a proponent of tax refunds or tax abatement. in terms of schooling rather than funds going through the government to be redistributed to private schools. And the reason for that is because government funds going to private schools makes them public schools. Listen, I'm with you on subsidiarity and local control. And the most local control, Sam,

is you, the parent. That's the most local control possible. Your front door. That is the, yes, there we go. Show us your books. Show us again. The book again. So people can go and pick it up. It's called Parents Guide to Home School by Sam Sorbo. Again, Parents Guide to Home School, Sam Sorbo, S-O-R-B-O. What a great guest. Sam, this is really a fantastic interview. I think it's going to open a lot of eyes to people this S-E-L curse.
