You're going to see change happen. Get out.

I'll make the counter argument. You're going to see change happen. Get out. I'll make the counter argument. 3.5% of the population or 8% of adults leave the state in protest and let everybody know.

Thanks, Relief Band. All right, Joseph, big show today. So if you would, kind sir. It's Friday. It is.

And, you know, ordinarily on a somber day like this. Thank you, sir. We may change the tone of the show, but not today. No, we're not going to do that today because, ladies and gentlemen, although it is a somber day, there is a bright side to all of this. There's nothing worse than fighting ninjas, right? You don't want to fight ninjas. They got the black little outfits there.

You can't really see them. They sneak up assassination style. They don't really follow the rules of combat. You don't want to fight ninjas. Right? You never see them come and they drop out of the trees like, oh, right in the back. You know, you want to fight samurais,

people that have, you know, some honor and at least they show you themselves on the battlefield. Well, although liberals have no honor, at least they've decided to show who they are right now. And we're reminded by Beria,

the former Soviet head of the secret police, about show me the man and I'll find you the crime. And now the Democrats have said, we've shown you the man, Donald Trump. And oh, yes, we found a crime. All right. It's felonious mopery in the umpteenth degree or something like that. That again. Yes. It keeps creeping up with trump so weird been charged like seven times with this already so again the walls are closing in i'm sure we'll

hear a uh another series of walls are closing in statements again about this absolutely pathetic case donald trump in case you missed the news uh was indicted by a new york grand jury after months and months of them trying to indict him on the felonious Mopary charge. That means 12 of 23 people agreed to hands down a true bill. My guess is it happened. The timing is extremely suspicious. I'll leave that for another day. But it happened now. It's a perfect distraction, of course, from everything going on. And of course, the people in charge on the left, they've shown us who they are. Again, they're on their political battlefield right now.

They're showing us. They're basically dropping their jaws, showing us their asses and saying, now we're tyrants. We're not hiding. We're tyrants. We want you to know we're tyrants. And what are you going to do about us being tyrants? That's basically what's happening.

Now, Nancy Pelosi, one of the political leaders on the left and believe me that word leaders doing a lot of work in that sense apparently doesn't even understand the constitution after the indictment of donald trump so much so that she tweeted out this nonsense and how to get fact checked by twitter twitter where there are a bunch of lefties in their community. She said, the grand jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law. That's except Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton, by the way, Nance. But getting back to her tweet, and everyone has a right to a trial to prove innocence?

Wait, what? Hopefully the former president will peacefully respect the system which grants him that right oh dude you weren't born here right but you've you've read the constitution once you've seen it right it's he's he's very familiar with the legal process i see i was under the impression i'm not a lawyer folks but that you're not obligated to prove your innocence against the government that you're presumed innocent that the government's obligated to prove its case against you I didn't I I just I came in this morning Guy had to tell me that he's like why is this tweet now I'm like I don't know it's a Nancy Pelosi thing she's like you

really he's like you realize there's a constitutional problem i said i didn't i didn't know i didn't know gee i didn't know i'm a former law enforcement i was totally unaware as a law enforcement agent but you're presumed innocent this is nancy pelosi she had to get fact checked by twitter quote miss pelosi mistakenly says that trump can prove his innocence at trial law in the united states assumes the innocence of a defendant, and the prosecution must prove guilt for a conviction. That's true. That's a good point.

She should change her handle. She's not Speaker Pelosi anymore either. So somebody's like, well, we were, and we're going to keep that. It makes me look good. Pound my chest out, chin were, and we're going to keep that. It makes me look good, pound my chest out, chin up, whatever it may be. Now, Josh Hawley appeared on Fox last night, and he's absolutely correct. We are now on a political battlefield where they're telling you, we're tyrants. We don't care that you know we're tyrants now do something about it they're trying to instigate some kind of political civil war in the united states right now there's no doubt about that

here's josh hawley last night pay very close attention to this part he says straight up and he's absolutely correct this is nothing but a raw power play for the future of the country and he's not wrong check this out i think what this is about it's nothing to do with the future of the country. And he's not wrong. Check this out. I think what this is about is nothing to do with the rule of law, Jesse. Obviously, this is about power. It is a demonstration of raw power. I think the Democrats know this has nothing to do with the law. They're sending a message and the message is they will use any power that they have to interfere in the next presidential election. They will not willingly allow Donald Trump to run for president. They will not willingly lose the next election. They're going to use every means at their disposal. Jesse,

these are the same people who have sent SWAT teams to pro-life activists, who use the FBI against parents at school board meetings. They will do anything, use any kind of power to try and hold on to their own privileges, their own positions. And we are seeing that tonight. This is just unprecedented in American history. And the only way out now is to win. You know, ironically, two of the worst, most overused words in the English language are unique and unprecedented, which is ironic when you think about that, right? Maybe ironic is one of them too, which would really be ironic.

But this is without precedent. Josh Hawley's correct. There is no precedent for a former president who is now a political candidate for the presidency again to be indicted by a member of the opposite political party for what is obviously a fake made up crime. There's no precedent. We've never seen this in American history. You want to upend 200 years of American jurisprudence, throw the constitutional Republican in the toilet bowl over an alleged payment to a woman named Stormy Daniels. I just want to be sure here that libs, this is what you're going to go with. This is the hill to die on. So after you've used SWAT teams to target the MAGA folks, after you've government spying to the FBI and elsewhere, after you use

social media to spy on us. After you've weaponized the FBI to come after parents and Trump supporters. You've weaponized the IRS to go after the Tea Party. You used local DAs to put Trump supporters in jail. And now you've used the Bar Association to try to prevent Donald Trump from getting any kind of legal protection. After you've done all that, now you go, Joe, straight to the handcuffs. Just put him in cuffs if we can't do it. Oh, by the way, I want to forget this.

I forgot him. How do I forget impeachment? I got to take notes so I don't miss that later for the radio show. You've impeached the president on fake charges multiple times. Now you just go straight to the handcuffs. There is a solution to this, folks. It may not be the solution some of you want to hear, but it's the only morally, ethically, and politically correct one if you really believe this country's worth saving.

If you don't believe the country's worth saving, there's nothing I can help you with. I am long in the United States. I had a guy call in my radio show yesterday. I didn't tell you this, Joe. His name was Bud. I take calls at the end of the show. He said, Dan, I'm a Vietnam veteran. And I just want to propose something about the school shootings that have been happening. And I stopped him and I said, hold on before you give us your solution to this problem.

I said, I want to thank you, bud. I said, guys like you went, wrapped yourself in our flag and fought for a mission that wasn't popular with a lot of people, granted, but you did it because you believed in your country and you believed you were doing the right thing. And you came back, people were spitting on you

and treated you like total garbage. I said, you know, my uncle fought there and came back in a box on the day he was supposed to come back on his feet and it destroyed my family forever. So I said, I want to thank you. And then Bud went on to say how he's willing to volunteer to go stand in front of schools and protect these kids. Now, Joe, just based on the chronology of time,

Bud, obviously, if he fought in Vietnam, is obviously an older gentleman. The fact that Bud, who's already served this country, wants to go back now and volunteer his own time to defend the lives of young kids. You want to know why I'm long in the United States and why after days like today, I don't just dial it and, ah, it's all over. It's done because it's not all over. We've been handed a problem.

We are dealing with a growingly radical, miserable, tyrannical police state, increasingly violent left. That problem can be dealt with. It's been dealt with in the past. In the 60s, in the 70s, we came out of it with the greatest eight-year run we've had in probably modern history in the Reagan year, where we won 49 out of 50 states, something the Democrats haven't managed to do in decades. Don't tell me America's not worth saving. This is our problem, and it's our problem to deal with. And there's a way to deal with this. Ehud Barak gave you the example on yesterday's show. He gave you the example.

Show up in the streets, but do it the right way. Do it the right way because it's the moral, ethical, and politically sound thing to do. Now, when we win, because we will win in 2024, we will win. We have to believe that. When we win, because we're going to show up. You hear me? We're going to show up. The first thing, I don't know if you guys agree with me or not on this. There's a lot going on, taxes, social security problems, healthcare issues, budget issues, schooling issues. I totally get it. There's a lot going on.

The first thing an incoming president has to do, whether it's Trump, DeSantis, or anyone else, there has to be a massive purge of strict political actors out of the government. You fire one, the media loses their mind, fire 10 more the next day. When they're writing stories about 10 loses their mind, fire 10 more the next day. When they're writing stories about 10 people that fired, fire 100 more. That has to be the first priority of anyone getting in there. If you're not committed to doing that, and I think Trump and DeSantis

both would be, then please don't run. Matter of fact, I think in this case, Trump's actually better positioned because what does he have that DeSantis doesn't? He doesn't have any pressure for reelection. Get rid of them all. Get rid of them all. If you cannot swear an oath, regardless of your political party, don't fire people because of politics, then you just continue the cycle. Fire people because they took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States that they've now flushed down the toilet you need to go that'll be the first step in taking this back to the constitutional republic i want to play this tucker brought up a great comment last night folks the unfortunate part about this whole thing is there's no turning back now you can't unsee this you can't rewrite history you know that eckhart tolle had that power and now book the only thing

we live in is is the now the future hasn't happened yet the past is already written in the books joe you can't burn those pages that is it they're inscribed in stone we can't change the past the problem now is there's no coming back from this just like they set a precedent dumping the judicial filibuster for nominees in the courts, which the Republicans then used later on to stick it to the Democrats. You now got an era where basically political figures, it's legal open season now.

There's going to be no way for the left, if Joe Biden finds himself in handcuffs or Hunter Biden or anyone else, there's no way for them to say, oh, we don't do that. There's no precedent for that. There is now. Listen to Tucker's take on this. A good one. Either way, the net result is Donald Trump is the first former president of the United States ever to be indicted. So no matter what happens next, we can be certain there is no coming back from this moment. There could be retaliation from

red states. The governor of Florida has already said, Ron DeSantis has already issued a statement saying that he will not participate in any extradition of Donald Trump to New York. That's apparently scheduled for next week. As you can probably tell, we're not certain of the full outlines of the story, but we know this moment is a historic one. It's a historic one for all the wrong reasons. And can I tell you what really, really frightens me here? Let's put all the nonsense aside. It's not time for hyperbole today.

It's not time for bulge. It's not the time for that. What has me really terrified right now is not just our descent into police state madness, which we obviously are at right now. It's not even, again, that's not even open for dispute. What scares me is Iran, China, North Korea, and Russia, nuclear-powered and soon if not already nuclear-powered powers, are watching everything happening in the United States right now. Everything. Their future conduct in potentially starting and lighting a fuse

that could lead to World War III, which would lead to a horror you have never seen. You have never seen a world war in the nuclear age. You have not. You've seen a world war where we had nuclear weapons. Our enemies did. That's a totally different scenario. China is watching.

You have a DA up in New York, Twinkies here, who is so short-sighted and politically myopic and maybe just straight up dumb that he didn't have the balls or the guts to stop what he knows is a political persecution of a former president while nuclear powered enemies of the United States have their eyeballs directly trained on what's happening right now. Folks, please, I joke with Joe and flag it and stuff. This isn't even the time. I'm telling you right now, pay close attention to what I just said. They will rue the day they did this. If something happens on the world stage and the best thing you can do is stick Donald Trump.

Can you just for a second play this out? China invades Taiwan. Russia lets a tactical nuke go in Ukraine and invades Poland. The North Koreans do another nuclear test. And Donald Trump, the former president, is in court in handcuffs to answer for charges about a payment to a woman named Stormy Daniels. The devil is laughing, my friend. Oh my gosh. He's hysterically knee slapping right now. Hysterically knee slapping.

I got a lot more. Jonathan Turley, Alan Dershowitz, two legal commentators had a lot to say on this. We're going to get the legal end, secret service end, a lot more to talk about.

show, ladies and gentlemen, get out of blue states as soon as you can. I talk to people down here in Florida all the time. I was in this restaurant I go to. A woman came up to me, hey, Dan, and detected a New York accent. Oh, you're from New York? Yeah. What are you doing down here? We visit in the summer, but we still live in New York. Why? We got family there. Folks, that's not good enough. I'm sorry. Get out. there is no saving these places there is saving your freedom there is if you are a conservative a libertarian

or any sane person who's independent move to Florida move to Texas get out of these places what are you waiting for you have an option you live in the United States you still have rights in free states

there's no saving these places you understand there's no significant political figures in new york i've seen on the democrat side that are objecting to they love this here's john turley legal comment on Fox, on how they basically bootstrapped, just fabricated this entire charge. How it makes absolutely no sense and it's clearly political. Keep in mind, Turley and I disagree on the approach to the thing completely and he's not a conservative from what I know. He's telling you this is a really bad idea. Take a listen.

For many months, this bootstrapping theory has been put out there. This idea that you could take a misdemeanor under New York law that has expired, that has a two-year statute of limitations, and revive it by connecting it to a federal crime, in this case, a federal election violation. Now, there's a host of problems with that. First of all, it's a federal crime. The Department of Justice chose not to prosecute.

Bragg's own predecessor declined to prosecute. But he is attempting to bootstrap that federal crime into a state case. to bootstrap that federal crime into a state case. And if that is the basis for the indictment, I think it's rather outrageous. I think it's legally pathetic. Listen again, Turley's, we have big differences on approach to this. That's fine.

Fox has different people with different approaches on. But he knows far more about the law than I do. He's no conservative here. This is a joke. He's telling you it's legally pathetic. This, in the midst of a potential world war, this is what Alvin Bragg, this is what Twinkies wants? Here's Alan Dershowitz, a lifelong liberal, by the way, I might note. Lifelong liberal. Nobody's going to question that. Here's Dershowitz saying, this is kind of weird.

I hadn't even considered this. Their reason for delaying this, because this was from seven years ago, this alleged payment to Stormy Daniels, seven years ago. Seven. was from seven years ago this alleged payment to stormy daniel seven years ago seven he says the reason alvin bragg is saying and i say saying in a sarcastic tone because alvin bragg's just making all this up i want to be crystal clear he's a tyrant he's not a serious person right bragg's saying well we would have gotten trump sooner but he was down in florida which is really weird as dershowitz knows because they indicted him when he was in Florida. Take a listen.

The most important thing is they indicted him when he was out of New York. And that means they could have indicted him within the statute of limitations when he was out of New York. Statute of limitations is way expired. They claim they couldn't have indicted him because he was outside of New York. But now they've indicted him when he's not in New York. because he was outside of New York, but now they've indicted him when he's not in New York. So they've made a foolish, foolish decision,

which will cause the case to be thrown out, I think, on statute of limitations grounds. This is why I'm hearing from even Democrats what a disaster this is going to be. This is going to be a legal abomination. Now, he may not get a fair trial, but folks, I see almost no way that this case makes it to the appellate court in New York. And they uphold this.

You've got to remember, once these courts set a legal precedent, it's used for future rulings. If the statute of limitations clauses are effectively nullified just because you want to went after Donald Trump, there's going to be a slew of new cases brought because they're going to say, well, there's no statute of limitations. You guys just said so. This thing is a disaster.

Now, governor in Florida, he's not going to cooperate. Applaud Governor DeSantis for saying, listen, this is a weaponization of the system. You can see the tweet right here. It's un-American, and Florida's not going to assist in an extradition request, given the questionable circumstances at issue with the Soros-backed prosecutor.

Good for him. Now, as I said the other day, applaud the response. I don't think extradition is going to be an issue because the Trump team has already indicated that they're going to turn themselves in this coming week, this Tuesday. So you only extradite when someone doesn't agree to appear. I don't see this being an issue, but I'm glad to see that the governor in Florida is like, nah, we're not going to cooperate with your garbage. This is obviously made up. Folks, it's time for everyone right now.

I understand. You've got pro-Trump, pro-DeSantis. You've got pro-Tim Scott, pro-Vivake, pro-Nikki Haley. Everyone, please. I'm asking you as a friend to the movement. A lot of you listen to my show. I'm honored to be whatever you want to call it. Talking head in this space, whatever the hell it is. Please, let's put aside the political stuff for a couple weeks and just handle this.

This is a huge issue that's going to affect Vivek, DeSantis, Trump, anyone else. If they can do this to Trump, they can do it to them. Please. And that goes for the Trump team too. Stop the DeSantis ads right now. You can go after each other and you should. Primaries are a good thing. You're going to have debates.

You've got a year to do this. Not now. This war on Trump is a war on everyone. Everybody needs to get the horse blinkers on right now. Here's another tool bag. You know, I've stayed away from this guy, Joe, because he's such a zero. But I knew him when he was in Maryland, Michael Steele.

Michael Steele is a disgraced former head of the RNC who ran the place into the ground. Guy's been a laughingstock in Maryland for a long time. He always hints and nods that he's going to run for every election in Maryland, bails out at the last minute when he realizes he'd get crushed. The guy's a total dipwad.

So he decided to go after me in his tweet yesterday, Steele, saying, gee, the tweet, Michael Steele. Yeah. So Michael Steele, he quote tweeted an appearance I made on Jesse Waters. And he says, when I said they're basically destroying the police state, he says, nah, he says they're coming for Trump. Rest of y'all okay. Unless of course you've committed a crime. Don't know why people are still confused by this point. Rest of y'all are okay. Yeah. Tell that to Peter Navarro, Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, all prosecuted on trumped up ridiculous charges that have almost no precedent handled criminally in U.S. history. Steve Bannon, which is interesting because Michael

Steele kisses Eric Holder's ass. He claims to be a Republican, which is hilarious. And yet Eric Holder, who ignored a congressional subpoena, he's not in handcuffs. But Steve Bannon was so strange, so weird. It's almost like Michael Steele's full of crap. So I sent this back to him. Just a quick note, the sellout piece of garbage used to show up at my political events in Maryland to try to stay relevant, which is true, which is true. We put up with him, even though my staff didn't want him around because he was such a rhino.

He also used to beg me to be on his low rated radio show. That's a fact too. It was on Sirius XM on the weekend and had about five listeners, including his family. And then he sold out to MSNBC for a buck when he couldn't get another job. He knows this is true, by the way. Big talker. That's correct. Big loser. Yeah. That's great. Joe knows it's correct. Joe's been a friend of mine a lot longer than Michael Steele. And Joe knows all the deets with that guy. There's more there too. I'll leave that for another day though. I want to give it all up at one time.

All right. Let me get to my, uh, Hey, by the way, I want to get to this too. Uh, what's going to happen with the secret service explained it before, but I'll quickly sum it up again. It's going to be very interesting. Uh, Twinkies didn't think of any of this cause he's too dumb. Uh, and also can Trump even get a fair trial in the jury system? Uh, I don't know. He may have to rely on the appellate court. So I'll tell you why coming up in a second. Today's sponsor, also Windshield Wow. Listen, we're very selective with our sponsors.

So can Trump get a fair trial uh in new york in front of a jury ladies and gentlemen uh i doubt it the great julie kelly who wrote the book january 6th on her twitter account posted some audio that it aired on c-span this audio is extremely relevant to the new police state we live in now Now, when you are subjected to a trial, Joe, it is a jury of your what? Peers, correct? Last time I heard Joe,

gee, you're pretty familiar with that, right? Jury of your peers. It's not a jury of people who hate your guts, a jury of your political enemies. It's a jury of your peers. Well, what's the problem in Washington, DC and New York? If you were a Republican, there aren't many peers to choose from. That's kind of an issue. So you're basically being tried by people with a political axe to grind. The crazy part is when jurors actually come out and admit that there may be political axes to grind. Here is a Jan 6th Oath Keepers jur, admitting on audio, Julie Kelly picked this up,

that one of the jurors was a former attorney who worked with the DOJ? No. Listen to yourself. One person who wasn't completely understanding what was happening in the trial.

Following everything that that one person had to say. The person, their leader, was one of the two people I saw fall asleep during the trial occasionally. And that was their leader. There was strong opinions. Some people did bring some personal values and views into the room, which they shouldn't have. And all I can say is forever. Thank God there was an attorney who worked in the Justice Department on the jury. How that was allowed, I'll never know. He couldn't believe it. What was the makeup of the jury?

What? People brought strong opinions in, and one of the people in the room was an attorney for the Department of Justice. And you really believe Donald Trump's going to get a fair trial in a jury in New York City. That's hilarious. The crazy thing is, even without a fair trial, which it won't be, the deck is stacked against this guy. It's a police state trial. This is Star Chamber stuff right here. Here's the crazy thing.

I still think Donald Trump has a chance to beat this ridiculous case because it's so ridiculous. What are you basing that on, Dan? I'm basing it on the fact it took them months to indict him. You can indict anyone. There's no defense attorney in the room for anything. You think he's going to get a fair trial? Remember this four-person for the Georgia jury convenes against Donald Trump in the Georgia case? Remember this?

jury convenes against Donald Trump in the Georgia case. Remember this? She's doing TV rounds, advertising how she wants to stare Donald Trump in the face to make sure she reads him as, reads the, this is incredible. You think this guy's going to get a fair trial? Take a listen to this. I wanted to hear from the former president,

but honestly, I kind of wanted to subpoena the former president because I got to swear everybody in. And so I thought it'd be really cool to get 60 seconds with President Trump of me looking at him and being like, do you solemnly swear? And me getting to swear him in. I just I kind of thought that would be an awesome moment. I'll leave his commentary for another day in an unfiltered show because he's accurate. OK, sure.

Fair trial. Right. Oh. because he's accurate. Okay, sure. Fair trial. Righto. So the Secret Service, as I said before, has the full federal power and authority to protect the president, former president of the United States. That power is not usurped in any way by Twinkies up in New York. You need to understand that. Alvin Bragg has no authority over the Secret Service whatsoever. However, the Secret Service does have authority over what Alvin Bragg can do. Now, I shouldn't say if the Secret Service committed a crime in New York City, any agent can be arrested under New York City's penal code. No doubt about it.

I'm suggesting to you when it comes to the protection of Donald Trump and the bubble around him, Alvin Bragg has no authority whatsoever to usurp the Secret Service. The Secret Service derives its power from 18 U.S.C. 3056, as you can see right here. And as I've noted before, if Alvin Bragg tries to get in their way and create a dangerous situation for Trump, putting him in front of criminals, putting him around criminals, the Secret Service can arrest Alvin Bragg and fine him. They'd arrest him, the government would fine him. Here it is. Whoever, notice it doesn't say whoever with an asterisk here, except the New York DA.

Whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs, resists, or interferes with a federal law enforcement agent engaged in the performance of the protective functions authorized by this section shall be fined or imprisoned. It's right there. I've already explained this to you. If the Secret Service is doing its job, and from what I'm hearing,

they're not political actors, they are not handling this politically, and they've already told the political actors, we will not allow you to put the former president in this situation. Good. Because if they get in the way, they can be arrested. And I expect the Secret Service to do that if someone tries they get in the way, they can be arrested. And I expect the

Secret Service to do that if someone tries to get in the way. Here's the other code the Secret Service operates under, 1752 United States Code. They can restrict an access to the former president. They can say you're not allowed near him. No, no, no, Dan. Alvin Bragg is going to say I'm the DA. It doesn't matter. I just told you it doesn't matter. Because in this section, the Secret Service can declare something a restricted building or ground. Meaning a cordoned off area that basically their protectee or a former president is temporarily visiting. There's no exceptions here. There's no exceptions. You need to understand that. The Secret Service can say you cannot come in here for this reason. There's

nothing they can do about it. We'll see where that goes. They'll do their job. I'm sure of it. All right. There was a ton of news yesterday, too. The timing of that indictment was really suspicious. We had a lot go happen yesterday. We had the Democrats go all in from the White House podium, defending basically a serial killer. We had a day of trans vengeance announced after a alleged trans serial killer murdered six people, including three nine-year-olds. This is the police state we live in. This, of course, will blow up spectacularly in the left's face as the country realizes we're dealing with straight-up lunatics right now.

But there was also a couple of insurrections yesterday, one in the Tennessee Capitol, and there was also chaos at the Kentucky Capitol, too, by trans activists and gun grabbers who want to put your kids in danger who use kids as props. Did you catch the insurrection yesterday? Here's the Tennessee one which got violent. Insurrectionists,

I expect the FBI will be investigating this immediately. They used a bunch of kids, of course, to go out and attempt to disarm you and put your kids in danger of being violently attacked. So they use kids as props because they think you won't respond back. Unfortunately,

some of them got violent in this insurrection in Tennessee. I'm sure the FBI will be on this right away. Here's video of it. That goes on, by the way, for minutes upon minutes, That goes on, by the way, for minutes upon minutes. A violent insurrection, leftist insurrection in Tennessee Capitol. I demand and expect the FBI to dedicate their full resources towards this insurrection. That's what it was. By the left's definition, that's what it was. Just to be clear, correct?

That's what it was. We also had a guy in a Satan hat objecting to kids. You know, the law in Tennessee, they're proposing they're overriding the governor's veto. Tennessee lawmakers object to having kids' genitals cut off at an early age. Of course, he's protesters in the Satan cap. I don't know if they're lobbying for genitals being cut off or what, but they showed up in another insurrection in Kentucky. Here, take a look at this. Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!

There's a lot of folks for you. There's a lot. Lobbying to disarm you to make you the next victim screaming and Satan hats about cutting kids, kids genitals off or laws that do such throwing former presidents in jail because they don't like their politics. This is the left. Keep, keep voting for him.

He voted for him. Get out of these blue States as soon as you can. Take Ehud Barak's advice. He's a lefty. They know. Karine Jean-Pierre, of course, had a statement from the White House press room yesterday, sending her hearts out to the victims. No, no, no, no.

That's not what happened. Oh, hearts out to the trans community, the trans community, after the death of six people at the hands of an alleged trans serial murderer. There's your White House for you. One of the things that we saw during the midterm elections is that people don't want their freedoms to be taken. They want us to fight for their freedoms. And so it is shameful. It is disturbing. And our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now.

But that's Karine Jean-Pierre. Let's make sure we get out a condolence to the trans community after we've got funerals that haven't even happened yet. Just unbelievable, these people.

So there was a tweet yesterday by a reporter who the violent insurrection in Tennessee. She wanted to make sure, Joe, you knew this was a peaceful, peaceful power of framing folks.

Power of framing. I'm going to show you the power of framing in a minute, too, with a bank bailout thing from Playbook. How when Republicans are involved and banks get bailed out, it's a bank bailout. Big banks won. When Biden does it, it's a bank bailout. Big banks won. When Biden does it, it's definitely Biden's lordship that did it. He's so smart. Here's a New York Post article you'll see in my newsletter today, too. CBS apparently banned, as according to the New York Post,

the use of transgender from reports on the Nashville shooter. Really? It's interesting, because when it's a white male, Joe, it's only the first thing they write about every single time. So strange. And then the daily mail's reporting, you can see in the newsletter, here's kind of something scary that there's going to be a trans day of

vengeance and that the people are posting pictures with guns. I'm sure our FBI, which is totally apolitical is all over this, right? Of course not. Of course not. The FBI, senior leadership at the FBI is probably laughing the entire way while these people plan a trans

day of vengeance because it aligns with the leadership's political values 100%. Can you throw up that playbook thing if you want? I just want to show you the power of framing here. This is the last thing I sent for the show today, and then I'll get to some questions because I'm kind of running out of time. Here's political playbook today. One of the most notable features of the recent banking brouhaha is that it hasn't turned into a political black eye for Biden, who's been able to shed the bailout criticism and hold Democrats together. It's hilarious. It's hilarious. So after the banking crisis and the real estate crisis of 28 through 2010, when banks were bailed out, it was a disaster and Republicans spoke out against

it. They tarred and feathered the Republicans with that for years, even though Democrats joined in. Now that Biden's doing it even worse, his treasury secretary implying that every bank will be bailed out by the FDIC. Don't worry. The media is there to rescue you. It's definitely not a bailout now. Principles, folks. There's journalism for you. All right.

Let's get to a little lighter note. It's time for questions for Dan. Hey, Dan. What did you mean on Wednesday's podcast when you said we need to stay frosty? Celtic spirit for that's from the movie Aliens. Stay frosty. It just means stay ready. Be on your toes.

Prepare. China's watching what's going on. Have your emergency food. Have water filtration. Have a way to defend yourself. Have a way to start fires. No, not liberal fires. I mean, fire so you can cook. That's what I meant. Steve Frosty. It's from a movie. At Jeffrey Atkinson, hey, Dan, I think an absolute winner is a Trump-DeSantis ticket.

How likely will it take place? I see it as highly unlikely. Political predictions are dumb because the politics could change. So I don't know. But if you're asking me today, I would say there's a 10% chance that happens. I think Ron DeSantis wants to do his own thing. I think there's a lot of bad blood there, a lot of unusual bad blood. I don't think it's going to happen. Hey, Dan, at Thinking Woman, can you comment on the Chinese illegals crossing our southern border?

Up 100% on year year part of their strategy? Uh, yes, absolutely. Chinese communist party and all communists as a matter of fact, have planned for years to destroy the United States from the inside out. What better way to do it than to literally destroy it from the inside out. We don't know who these people are.

Oh, Dan, if they were spies, we'd surely know. Really? How? They're coming over know who these people are. Oh, Dan, if they were spies, we'd surely know. Really? How? Really? They're coming over here with their spy paperwork? Hey, I'm a spy for China.

Can you sign me in? Hey, Dan, this is from at Donna. By any chance or possibility, you can autograph your new book for those who pre-ordered. I pre-ordered mine when it first became available. Thank you.

It's really hard. Listen, I live in like a regular house. It's not even, don't send anything because it doesn't, they return everything to sender and I feel really bad when it happens. So please don't send. I know I say that in the Streisand effect, but it legit, it gets returned to sender

because there's just no room for anything. I only have a specific set of mail that comes here. So there's no way for me to do that mass. However, we are going to be opening up a studio, hopefully by the end of the year. We're going to have in-show studios. You come down, I'm happy to sign anything. I'm honored you even care about me signing your book. I appreciate that, Donna. And also there's going to be, we're going to do one of those signings, those live signings, where we'll be signing books and you can buy one of those. We'll sign them live and then we ship them out to you. We've done it for the past few books and it works out pretty good. And we're probably going to do this roadshow. So if I see you come up and I'm more than happy to

do it and I'm honored you even care about that. I never thought anyone would want my signature on anything but a check or anything like that. Hey, Dan, New Jersey FLA. Why the call for a full stop on AI from some of our tech leaders? It's very concerning. Because folks, we don't know where this is going to go. There was a very disturbing exchange between a New York Times reporter, Kevin Roos, and I believe it was ChatPT, one of these AI platforms. May have been another one.

You should read it you saw it gee it's disturbing at the end the ai platform wants kevin to leave his wife for the ai i'm not joking you can leave kevin ruse r-o-o-s-e he's big lib but the column's worth your time uh i think we should figure out what this thing is doing before we launch it for, you know, and find ourselves in some Terminator two movie only. It's just responsible. That's, that's why I read that thing.

And then ask the question again, you'll see what I mean. Hey, Dan at Telfair, you mentioned getting EMP protection for our homes. Any recommendations that companies who provide this protection? I'm not in the recommendation business on this product. I only say that not to be a tool, but because I don't know, I'm not an electrician, so I don't want to say, hey, buy this one. It turns out to be a bum product. However,

there are a number of companies out there that do it. Tied back to the first question where I said, stay frosty. You really need to get EMP protection in your house. It's cheap. They're like two, 300 bucks. An electrician probably charge you a hundred bucks to install it. Just goes into your circuit breaker. Now, some people say, well, damn, what good does that do us if the electric system goes down in a neighborhood? Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. You should have a generator too. Damn, that's a lot of money. I get it. It's a lot of money. You know what's a lot of money? A funeral if you're dead. Not even going to be funerals. They're just going to bury you in the backyard if we find

ourselves under an EMP attack. At least the circuits will work in your house. It won't get fried. Very important. Hey, Dan, at Bob Richardson 3, how many rounds is a prudent supply for self-defense in today's environment? As many as you can get. I mean, rounds, they get old. And some of them, if you... Here's my recommendation. I can't tell you how many. I have a lot. I just buy rounds every time I go to recycle the old ones.

But if you're going to store them, get ammo cases and get those moisture wicking bags in there to keep the moisture away from the rounds. You'll probably get 5, 10, 20 years, maybe even more. I mean, someone told me there's World War II ammo that still fires. So, I mean, you don't want that, though. You want rounds that you know are going to fire. And that's what you're going to have to guess. All right, folks, there's a lot to talk about today. So, just this weekend, hug your loved ones.

Know I'm long in America. Know the police state is here. Know we can defeat it. And I just want you to remember there are guys like Bud out there. That's why I'm long in America. People who fought for this country came home, got spit on by degenerate losers, and still love this place so much. They want to defend their lives, to volunteer their time, to defend little kids in schools. That's America. We'll fix it. It's going to require a lot of work,

but we'll fix it. Thanks a lot. I'll see you back here on Monday. Good day, sir. You just heard dan bongino
