Starting point is 00:00:02 All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. I haven't done a weekend update in a long time. I don't know what happened. I just, I wasn't doing a lot during the weekends. You know, getting back out of the past year in government, it was a lot going on, had to get the show back, rock and rolling again. So it wasn't a lot of time to do anything other than work in the weekend.

My former colleagues gave me what's called a DTW duty to warn call. There's some bad actors that are using my name to reach out to people and scam them out of money, try to get information from them, all kinds of stuff. It's not me.
Starting point is 00:01:17 It is not me. Do not respond. I can't say this enough. Some guy on Twitter responded to me this morning. I can't believe I got scammed that I did not reach out to you. I don't know. It's not me. I promise you it is not me.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Everybody cool? Do not respond to any solicitations from anyone claiming to be me because it's not me. I got a crazy weekend update. I'll get to you in a second. Big show day. Let's not become Europe, folks. Please. Please let's not become Europe. Europe, the UK are decaying into a civil rights madhouse right now. Let's not become them. I got some video.

That's why everyone from central banks to savvy savers are diversified with gold. Big fan of gold. If you've been thinking about it for years, you still, and you've never moved some of your savings

So quickly, this weekend, Paul and I, after, I don't know, three, four months back now, we decided we were going to take a little bit of a break this weekend. All right. So where do you think we went?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Any guesses in the chat? Where we always go, we need a break. Where'd we go, Justin? Yes, the Morgan Wallen concert, of course. That was number nine for us. We love us from Morgan Wallen. Thomas Red opened up. He crushed, too.
Starting point is 00:04:08 It was a pretty badass concert. And it was up at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. You know, we loved the Gators, how to do the chomp. We were there. I don't think Morgan wanted to do to chomp. He's a Tennessee fan. But he walked out with Tim Tebow, place goes crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Concert's a banger. Paula's got some crazy video. I hope she never discloses of me singing, which is really genuinely awful, but she thinks it's funny. So we're singing Chase and you. That's our favorite song and all. Bottom line is we get disconnected from our team,
Starting point is 00:04:34 this team that was with us, right? On the way out. Why? Because there were like 70,000 people there. I can't find the team. Cell phone's not working. The pin drops are not working. Nothing's working.
Starting point is 00:04:46 We're like sitting there. We're five, six miles away from no hotel. I'm like, hey, man, I don't know. We may just have to walk, whatever, no big deal. This guy, nicest guy is like, hey, Dan. And by the way, people could not have been nice of you. We're taking like 500 selfies. People could not have been nicer.
Starting point is 00:05:01 We're showing us their magahads, grabbing us, and everything. It was incredible. I had the best time ever. People were so nice. This guy's like, hey, damn, what are you doing? And I said, man, we're looking for our team. We can't seem to find him. He's like, why?
Starting point is 00:05:12 I said, you're trying to get back to the hotel? He's like, I'm just, he's got this big pickup. He goes, I'm just waiting for my wife and kid that went to the concert. He's like, I'll drive you back. I said, no way. He said yes way. He's like, getting it back. I look at Paula.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Paula is like, you sure? I'm like, I trust this guy. I don't know. I don't know. I just trust the guy. I get in the back of the truck, right? The guy calls his wife, he's like, you're never going to believe he's in a back of the truck.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Dan Bongino's right. She's like, what the hell are they doing there? It's like, we're giving him a ride back to the hotel. I'm like, the wife jumps in. She's like, I can't believe it. The kid's like, who are you? Kids like 10 years old. He looks up in the phone.
Starting point is 00:05:48 He's like, oh, the daughter. The daughter's like, hey, there's a boy and a girl. The daughter's like, oh, you're a radio guy or something. We're driving back to the hotel with caught in traffic. We're in the car like a half an hour. The guy starts playing Morgan. We're all singing in the car. It was like the greatest half an hour ever.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Bottom line is, I'm not going to say his name, but thank you to the guy and the family. It was so nice to meet you. I gave him one of my coins. I told him we'd take care of them. So I really appreciate it. It was the best half hour ever. Paul and I got back to the hotel. We're like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:06:21 That was like the greatest thing. I'm almost glad we got disconnected from our team. So there is the first weekend update I've done for you ever. I don't spend a lot of time on my personal life. Because honestly, who cares? I just thought that was really funny. That was this guy's like, you want to ride? I'm like, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:37 It turns out he knew the neighborhood, too. He's cut into like bank parking lots getting us around all the traffic in Gainesville. Awesome. A-A-A-72, glad you and Paula had a good time. Self-care is important. God bless. God bless you, too. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Now to the important stuff that happened. And folks, the MAGA movement is the GOP now. I titled today's show, Trump wins because Trump is won again. I don't know how many times we've got to tell the people trying to hijack our movement. The Republican Party is the MAGA movement now. That's just the fact. What am I talking about? I really try to stay out of Republican on Republican stuff as often as I can, except, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:21 there are some doomers and gloomers out there who decide to come after us. And if you're going to come after us, well, we're going to kick you back even harder. Sorry, that's just the way we roll. We always have because we always win. After the Indiana primaries where President Trump and his team went after a bunch of Indiana Republicans who just refused to do Republican stuff and won, you would think a guy like Bill Cassidy, a U.S. senator from Louisiana who's consistently gone after Trump, would have learned this lesson.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Cassidy did not. Cassidy is and listen, you don't got to agree with President Trump on everything. I don't. We've had disputes about certain issues on my show. He's never written me off. It's not about that. It's about just being, just being like a thorn in the side for the sake of being a thorn to side.
Starting point is 00:08:04 None of this stuff is principal. Bill Cassidy is a sitting U.S. senator, folks. Went down in flames in a primary this weekend, actually finished third. Not second, third. So there's a runoff. Runoff's top two. He's not even in the runoff. Now, why did Bill Cassidy go down in flames?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Because again, there's a group of domer's and black pillars and do nothing bullshitters trying to come into the Republican tent and hijacked a movement to make us a more left-leaning identity politics party. We don't like the Jews. We don't like it's all this crap. You're not our movement. Get out. Get out. Now, Cassidy was not one of those guys.
Starting point is 00:08:50 This is an impeachment guy. Another wing of the Republican Party. I don't like Donald Trump's style, so we're going to impeach him. Really? I thought that was for high crimes and misdemeanors, not personality crimes. Here's Cassidy back in 2021, February of 2021, on an interview with, I believe, ABC, talking about impeachment hoax too, why Donald Trump needed to be impeached. Well, only one person lost their office, and it ain't Donald Trump, Bill.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Check this out. People want to trust. They want to trust. trust their leaders. They want people to be held accountable. Now, we are holding, I'm attempting to hold President Trump accountable. And that is the trust I have from the people that elected me. And I am very confident that as time passes, people will move to that position. So you think you'll eventually represent a majority of you in Louisiana? You know, number one, I think I may already represent a majority view.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Do you think he can run a credible campaign for president again? Will he remain a force in the Republican Party? What does that mean for the Republican Party? I think as force wanes. The Republican Party is more than just one person. Ladies and gentlemen, of course the Republican Party is more than just person and one person. Of course. But when one person does things to move the Republican Party into a winning position,
Starting point is 00:10:11 advances the ball on crime, advances the ball on the border, advances the ball on the economy, advances the ball on the economy, advances the ball on tax cuts. Advances the ball on shrinking government for the first time like ever. 300,000 federal employees now want to trim down leaner, meaner government payroll. You got a doge in there finally. Oh, the cuts, they're not enough. They're a star. Nobody's done anything. We finally have a guy in the White House, Maduro, Iran. We have a guy in the White House actually doing stuff instead of talking shit. We do trust that person, Bill. And it wasn't you. I don't like spending a lot of
Starting point is 00:10:47 I'm on this stuff. I don't. However, I just, I can't understand how people are still falling for this up. Here's why I say this, folks. There are, yes, there are knuckleheads out there who are just faking being part of our movement to try to steal the thing for their own left wing causes
Starting point is 00:11:03 because they are left wing causes. They are. But when you go out in the real world, and I haven't been out in the real world in a while, honestly, we've been working our butts off. I just do events with my daughter lately, and that's it. weekend. It's the first time I went on. People could not have been nicer. Overwhelmingly,
Starting point is 00:11:22 like all of them. This is not the real world. You listen to these doomers and gloomers, and they're so full of shit. And honestly, Cassidy, taking it from it was one of them. Donald Trump, this is an issue of character. People choose. I'm the majority. You're not the majority position. You finished third. And by the way, to the Donald Trump haters out there, bullshit like oh what do you have to kiss the ring bullshit that is total bullshit i know a lot of people in the trump orbit who don't agree with him on every issue he doesn't expect loyalty on every single issue however he does expect some loyalty to the cause of moving the republican party in a more conservative prosperous direction he what cassidy's just reinventing don't oh my gosh it's something some
Starting point is 00:12:17 Man King. Here he is this weekend. He appeared on the big weekend show, and Jason Chaffetz, former Republican Congressman from Utah, just grills him on this impeachment question, and he won't answer. If you're so proud of what you did
Starting point is 00:12:34 and you fell for the impeachment hoax and you think you're the better part of the Republican Party, then have some awful balls, man, and stand up and do something about it. Don't run from it like a chump. Check this out. A question for you is still about Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Knowing what you know now about the farce that was put forward to the American people and the Congress, knowing what you know now, would you still vote to actually convict Donald Trump of the charges that he was put up for? Reporters always love to ask that question. I'm a doctor. You give me all the information I can. I make a decision. I move on. I don't keep on going back. Oh, what happened five years ago. I'm thinking about what's going to happen five years now. With all due respect, you just talked about this stuff you've done. for the last five years. You just touted everything you've done for the last five years. Why can't you answer that question? Would you or would you not actually vote to convict knowing what you know now? It's a simple question.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Yeah, Jason, you may go back and flagellate yourself over decisions in the past. I do not. I move on. By the way, what I'm talking about is not just the present. It is the future. By the way, the future also includes that if somebody wants somebody working for the state of Louisiana, for the future not fixated on the past, then polls close at 8 o'clock tonight,
Starting point is 00:13:56 get out there and vote. That's not the point, bro. That's not the point at all. The point is he's asking you to acknowledge, knowing what you know now, that both of the impeachment efforts against Donald Trump or hoaxes, would you reevaluate the situation
Starting point is 00:14:11 given the current inputs, which are now better inputs than bullshit inputs you had making the decision last time? He doesn't even want to answer the question. Folks, he finished third. He is a sitting United States Senator. Do you have any idea how hard it is to unseat in a primary,
Starting point is 00:14:29 a sitting United States Senator, no less a congressman? Senators are even harder. Their terms are three times as long. For the liberals listening, a representative in the House, it's a two-year term. Senators have six-year terms. That's a lot of time to build up goodwill with constituents in a state, and it's a ton of time to raise a bunch of time to raise a bunch of times.
Starting point is 00:14:50 of money. He finished third, man. Now, you've got another test of the Donald Trump endorsement coming tomorrow in Kentucky with the Tom Massey, Ed Galrine. We had Ed on the Patriot, decorated military service. See what happens tomorrow. Again, I try to stay out of this Republican on Republican stuff because there were so many bigger fights. However, there are people in our tent trying to steal away our movement and you should give them the double barrel. and be like, no, no, this isn't your movement. You don't get in here. After we've been at this knocking on doors,
Starting point is 00:15:27 some of us running for office, raising money for causes, being an activist, you don't get to walk in, you know, into the tent and hijack the movement as your own. It's not yours. You can start a different movement, see how much power you have. Clearly, the Cassidy movement wasn't working.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Folks, Donald Trump's records of achievement, records from 45 to 47, records of achievement are substantial. When put up against the marker of history, he is going to be one of the most decisive, influential Republican, forget about Republican presidents we've had in modern times. There's no disputing that. The world has changed because of him. The world has changed because of him. A complete reevaluation of what was the global order and the managed decline of the United States.
Starting point is 00:16:18 That's over. Rubio said something about that. Did I send you guys that tweet? I don't even, but Rubio said something. No, we are not going to be stewards of a managed decline of the United States anymore. The preeminent America first movement, that is a Donald Trump-led movement. You don't get to hijack this stuff. Because if you're not careful, folks, we're going to turn into the UK and Europe.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Did you see what happened this weekend? Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to tell you, I'm glad I went to London a couple of years ago. because I got to tell you something, I'm not messing around either. I'm a little worried about ever going back that I won't be surveilled or even worse over there now. My dealings with their law enforcement people were fantastic. They were very professional. I just want to be clear with that. However, here's Keir Starrmer.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Here's Keir Starmor warning this group of, there was a big protest in the United Kingdom this weekend, basically against unfettered illegal immigration, the attack on civil liberties in the UK. You're getting like arrested for tweeting now. Rubio declares New Western Century in World Speech says America won't oversee the manage decline. You're damn right. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Do not become the UK or Europe. Or are you going to have guys like this? Here's Kier Starrmer, basically warning people against protesting? Yeah, this is a real thing. Check this out. stand in the way of peaceful protest. But we will act decisively against hatred. We will use the full force of the law when that hatred manifests as violence. And we will ban those coming into the UK who seek to stir it up as we have done already. Because this country belongs to all of us.
Starting point is 00:18:08 And I will not tolerate anyone who seeks to stand in the way of that. He won't tolerate it? It's like the words of King George or something. What is he talking about? We won't tolerate hatred. Who gets to define what hatred is? Because the only hatred I saw at the rally was a bunch of left-wing lunatic counter-protesters who were talking about shooting Tommy Robinson,
Starting point is 00:18:34 one of the organizers, in the neck like Charlie Kirk. No! That's repulsive. They didn't say that. Receipts incoming. Who's this content creator? Samara Gill. You think this didn't happen?
Starting point is 00:18:50 Receipts in coming right? These are the lunatic counter protesters. These sound like the people full of hate, Kirstarmer. Do not let this stuff come here. And the bulwark against it is the Rubio, Trump Rubio Vance team. That's the bullwork against. Vance has been warning about this. Vice President Vance, the disgusting decay of civil liberties in Europe and the UK for a long time.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Here, watch these crazy people counter protesters after this is hatred. Check this out. Excuse me, should we shoot Tommy Robinson in the neck? Get your clip elsewhere. So they've just said that they want to hang Tommy Robinson and shoot him in the neck like Charlie Kirk. It's getting very aggressive. Thank you, Samara Gil, for exposing this stuff. That's the real hatred.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Do not let this stuff come here, folks. Do not let this stuff come here. This is why people are so afraid of Donald Trump and his America first agenda. Because Donald Trump is the first president in a long time on the Republican side to cut through the euphemistic, politically correct bullshit and say, if the rest of the world was great as great as America,
Starting point is 00:20:07 they'd be America. Every single person is a child of God. It is not a reflection of the people. However, it is a reflection of the organizing principle nation states have. nation states that have shitty governments wind up producing a population of people where a lot of problems develop. That is not the United States. The United States has its issues like anywhere else, but we are the wealthiest, most prosperous free country and our world.
Starting point is 00:20:34 We do not have to pretend anymore that American exceptionalism like Obama said, just like Greek exceptionalism. It is not. It is not. You have elections coming up. You've got the midterms. You've got this L.A. mayor's race where, Spencer Pratt has been basically highlighting the contrast between what the future will look like under this left-wing totalitarian violence or right-wing economic freedom, personal freedom and liberty.
Starting point is 00:21:00 You've got to paint a picture for people. You've got to show people what it looks like. I'm not going to play the whole thing, but this guy's ad team, the Spencer Pratt, Los Angeles mayor's race, is just epic. This is just a PhD-level course in political advertising. Did you see the latest spot? They're doing Lego ads now or something. This must be a, I don't know if it's his team or just random people on the internet, but this stuff is just crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Check this out. You know, folks the flames take everything. But instead of looking down, he's exposing this whole town. That's Sheld S.A. on Axis. You, folks, there was a new, I'm going to play another one of these tomorrow in the New York. governor's race with Kathy Hockel. This AI, and I got a clip on this coming up later, this AI explosion is going to create an entirely new era of contrast, snapshots,
Starting point is 00:22:11 and soundbites in political advertising that's going to enable you to do things you were never able to do before in a budget like this. I don't know how much that cost. I assume it's not that much. You know what political video ads take to make? My gosh, when I was running out in that congressional race, they cost a fortune. Folks, do not become Europe. Do not. You just have to listen to the other side when they tell you who they are, the Democrats,
Starting point is 00:22:36 that they want us to become Europe and the UK, dissipate our civil liberties, engage in totalitarianism, take your money. They want to hike your gas prices and your gas taxes. Just listen to them. I got video coming up right now. Did you see what happened at the Democrat governor's race in the debate? I'm going to take a quick break here. And then I'm going to get to that. They're telling you. They are running on one day. Donald Trump, affordability.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Hey, do you guys want to drill? Nah, F it, we don't want to drill. I thought you were talking about affordability. Just listen to them. They're telling you who they are. You want to be more like Europe and the UK? Just listen to the Democrats say it. Quick break and we'll get right back to it.
Starting point is 00:23:18 As you can tell, I slept great last night. I needed it, man. Got to sleep late after that Morgan concert. I was hurting. It was Friday night. I was still recovering. on Sunday. And I've standing for a long time. And really my knee blew up. So I needed a good night sleep. Thankfully, I have a Helix mattress. H-E-L-I-X. I've had one for 10 years. I'm going to third one now.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Spring always flips a switch for me. You want things lighter, cleaner, a little more dialed in. That includes how I sleep, how you sleep before swapping furniture or tackling a full reset, fixing your mattress changes everything, everything. Sleep is the ultimate life hack. You know I'm into these ma-ha moments. If you're dealing with sore morning, mornings, lower back pain, get up, knees hurt, whatever. And nights that never fully settle. Helix mattresses, they are a game changer. Paul and I have the midnight lux, our second one, we had one up in D.C. too.
Starting point is 00:24:08 And the difference was immediate. I used to wake up tight and uncomfortable, bad night's sleep, mattress, which wasn't right, you know, like soft spots in and stuff. Not that, not the midnight lux, we love it. It's like my body never fully shut off. Now I wake up actually rested on my helix mattress. Even my sleep tracker can back it up there, more deep sleep. The REM sleep's been great.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Fewer wake-ups and mornings that don't feel like a struggle every day. What makes Helix stand out is that it's built around how you sleep. With over 20 mattress models, there's no guessing. You're matched to the right one, plain and simple. They make the process super easy with free shipping, a 120-night sleep trial, a limited lifetime warranty, and zero pressure. That's how confident they are in the product. So go today.

Starting point is 00:25:11 Here's what I mean. Here in the Democrat governor's race, separate from the mayor's race, obviously, but same lunatics on the Democrat side, they ask a simple question. Hey, man, all you knuckleheads on the Democrat side keep talking about like affordability, as if the Iranians getting a nuclear bomb and launching it at the United States wasn't a pressing generational threat we needed to take care of. Nobody likes high gas prices. We get it. But they'll come down once the situation resolves. And hopefully that happens soon.
Starting point is 00:25:41 But there's no denying this was a very real threat. The Democrats can do something about it right now. They can lower California's ridiculously high gas price. And they can actually drill for oil. You know, like from the ground to turn it into gas, like for your car? Here's the Democrats. You're going to hear if you're listening on audio only. Steve Hilton first, Chad Bianco, the two Republicans say, yeah, of course we would drill. We need oil. Then listen to the Democrat clients.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I thought they cared about affordability. Check this out. As governor, would you increase drilling off the coast of California? Yes or no? Yes, we have to lower gas prices. Thank you. Mr. Steyer. No way.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Ms. Porter. No. Mr. Bianco. Yes. Mr. Villargoor? No. Mr. Bacera. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Mr. Mahan. No. These guys and ladies are full of... I thought they wanted to lower gas prices. But they don't want to lower California's ridiculously high gas tax. They don't want to drill for any more. Have you ever heard of supply or demand? Listen to me.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Folks, Republicans are not the solution to all of your problems. I understand that. We have an imperfect party too. We got some people in it who are completely lost, Cassidy and others. I get it. I'm just telling you to the people out there voting in Spencer Pratt's race, the mayor's race, the California gubernatorial, Kentucky tomorrow or elsewhere. Do you care about productive spreadsheets policies where things actually happen or bullshit flowery campaign speeches?
Starting point is 00:27:18 They can fix the gas price thing. They don't want to. Why aren't they doing it, producer Jim? because they don't want to. What? Oh, he's got the sneakers on trying to be the cool guy to billionaire Steyer. I thought they hated billionaire.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Look at him. Good catch. He's got the, cool, wear sneakers, whatever. Just stop trying to be like the cool guy. It's all an act. It's always dancing with the left. You ever notice that? Affordability.
Starting point is 00:27:45 It's all a dance. What are you doing about affordability? Nothing. It's all a dance with them all the time. It's never real. Why would you vote for this party? I don't understand. Nothing they tell you they're going to do.
Starting point is 00:27:57 They're actually going to do. Here, you want to see an article. This is like one of those pieces I throw in the show. I promise almost no one else is going to cover. It was a great up-end, the Wall Street Journal. It didn't get a lot of traction, but it should. If you ever want an article that nails down how full of shit the modern Democrat liberal progressive movement is,
Starting point is 00:28:17 read this article, Washington State's pension rate. I don't care about Washington State's pension. You should. Washington State has this pension plan, the state pension plan for cops and firemen. And using free market capitalist financial management, it's one of the few pension plans in the country that was unbelievably well managed so much so
Starting point is 00:28:41 that these cops and firemen, their pensions, are really well protected in the future because the fund was well funded and earned revenue due to good financial management. What's the problem, Dan? The state of Washington, led by a bunch of big government anti-capitalists who claim to hate capitalism, are now pissed off that the cops and firemen using capitalism got a good return on their pension fund. So the state of Washington is trying to steal the money from them to put back into the fund to fund their big government bullshit.
Starting point is 00:29:13 I thought how are you falling for this in Washington? I thought you guys hated capitalism. But you love it when it earns enough revenue for the fund. And then when you're trying to take care of the public servants, the hero cops and firemen, you screw them over by raiding their pension because capitalism saved you? How stupid do you have to be to keep falling for this bullshit? You ever hear this term in like the crypto space and elsewhere, the rug pull where people like in stock trading too, they pull the rug on you?
Starting point is 00:29:45 The Democrat Party is a big rug pull. It is a non-stop dance. You keep falling for this shit. We will be the UK. hate speech bans who gets to the fine with hate speeches how crazy how bad does it have to be by the way when even CNN's starting to notice i think this l.A mayors race has really put into perspective the blue city liberal government's apocalypse happening into the united states happening in the even CNN starting to notice here's a quick for reed zacharias
Starting point is 00:30:20 segment where he's like hey man uh i'm gonna be honest for you it is blue city liberal stuff ain't really working out. This is CNN. This CNN, not the Dan Boregino show. Well, it's CNN on a damn bojillo. Check this out. New York is really a prime example of a problem. Democrats seem unwilling to confront. Blue cities are out of control. Promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day. Take Los Angeles, another one-party metropolis, wrestling with affordability and disorder. The city's homelessness budget for fiscal year 2025-26 totals about $950 million. The LA Homelessness Services Authority reported that in 2023,
Starting point is 00:31:07 homelessness was up 9% countywide and 10% in the city. And a 2024 AP account noted that homelessness has searched 70% countywide since 2015 and 80% in the city. All this amid public frustration despite billions spent. an audit reviewed 2.4 billion in city homelessness funding and found that officials could not reliably track where it went or what it achieved. Folks, it's like they're providing homeless fertilizer
Starting point is 00:31:41 with the billion spend. It's like they're trying to grow the homelessness problem. At what point on the left, or if you're on the right, thinking about voting for the left? Do you actually ask them for a result? What entity do you give this? this kind of money, what business, what charity, where you would demand nothing in return. Imagine giving to a charity.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Combat homelessness in South Florida, where I live. And then they come back to you next year with an email and go, hey, great news. Homelessness is up 80%. You'd be like, what the? But with government, it's considered perfectly okay. Because this is what happens when you decide you want to open your border, by the way, let the entire world in a sense of, as God said, suicidal empathy, let everybody in, you know, listen to give us your tired, your poor. That's a poem. That's not a policy. Don't give us your tired and you're poor. Give us your productive and energetic. That's a cute poem. Give us your productive and energetic. Or else you are engaged in global suicidal empathy. You want to see what it looks like? Here's a G.B. News report. I'm going to loving their content. One of the reporters goes out and he's talking to one of these migrants in the
Starting point is 00:32:59 UK about, hey man, you think like we're a bunch of rich people who can just give away stuff? And the guy's like, yeah, yeah, you guys should just give us stuff like free houses. No, we don't know anybody anything. You owe your family, your kids, and their community. You want to be the third world. Keep voting for Democrats. And you're going to be the third world. Check this out. Should English people pay for you to have a house? Maybe they give me, how they give me anything I can need, they give me. Just give it. Yeah. Why? Because it's people in green is perfect.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Oh, so you think we're all, you think we're all, all, do you think we're all rich people? Yeah. So we can give. Okay. We're not giving anybody everything. Give us your active, energetic, smart and productive folks. This is the real world, man.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It's not a Telatubbies episode. It's not a, sharing is caring, like the old fat dinosaur, Barney. Was that his name Barney? Bubbles, whatever the, his name was. Barney. Remember? Shareings. No. No. Yeah, share with your family and your community. We don't need any more of this. Because what's happening? Some of these people come in here with this European multipolar model. The United States should be thrown. There should be multiple poles of power. No, there shouldn't. We're the United States.
Starting point is 00:34:40 The most benevolent country in earth. We should be the unipolar power because we should win. Correct? See, in the Indy 500 coming up, there's a pole position. You want to win it, correct? You don't want to be number two. You want to be number one. That's what being a unipolar power means. Whenever you hear multipolar, you're hearing leftist mumbo-jum, take it, roll it up in a ball, and throw it right in the garbage. We are the winner. We're the pole position. We do not need to import the entire third world to show the world in the sense of suicidal empathy how nice. in Q we are because it's not nice because people get hurt receipts and coming again here's jim jordan one of the good guys up on the hill congressman from ohio here he is questioning the fairfax county virginia district attorney who apparently is one of these multipolar open border guys who gives a special set of rules i guess to illegals who get arrested in his system and something really bad happened which always happens when you engage in this suicidal empathy. Here's Jim Jordan calling him out.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Check this out. Sir, your statements about we're not, don't want to prosecute guys is absolutely false. And my policies so far in this hearing. Are you saying what the sheriff wrote me is wrong? No, what I'm saying is that the way that my policies have been presented in this are outrageous. She said the Commonwealth's attorney, that's you,
Starting point is 00:36:07 chose not to prosecute Mr. Morales-Ortiz on December 16th. And they had to release him. They had to do their job. because you wouldn't prosecute. What happened on December 17th, Mr. Descano? Well, sir, for, let's talk about December 17th. No, no, that's the question. What happened on December 17th?
Starting point is 00:36:20 This same guy murdered somebody. This guy murdered somebody. Yes, people freaking die, folks. Horrible, tragic deaths. When we engage in this bullshit Kirstarmer, multipolar, liberal, polyan-ish, dream world utopian bullshit. This president's the first one to speak like a normal person
Starting point is 00:36:43 in normal terms. You want to come here? Great. My wife's an immigrant to the country. She's been nothing but productive. She's a web designer in a high-tech space, managed strategic communications for a huge company. She contributed. You want to come here? Be active, productive, smart and energetic. Earn your spot like everyone else did. You don't earn. Really? My mother was a, she worked a checkout counter in a supermarket. I said it a thousand times. My father was a plumber. Don't bullshit me like I was given some silver spoon, okay? You got to earn it, man. And yet you got a bunch of freaking rage bots on Twitter, likely financed, by the way, by foreign money, not all, but a lot of them, trying to infiltrate our party, make you believe we should be like open borders, you know, new suicidal empathetic Republicans.
Starting point is 00:37:38 We should let all these people in, and that's our principles. You know what our principles are? America first. That's our principles. Here's a guy I really enjoy his commentary talking about the rage bot phenomenon. I bring this up too for another. Like I said, I don't get out that often. I just don't.
Starting point is 00:37:56 It's not a little big deal. I just don't. But going to that concert this weekend and seeing all those amazing people and just like getting a look him in the face and talk to normal people, it was really rewarding. And it reminds me, like, if you spend a lot of your time on social media like I do for show prep and elsewhere, sometimes you start believing this stuff is real, folks. And you start to believe our parties somehow being hijacked by a bunch of folks and you're not the minority.
Starting point is 00:38:27 You're not the minority. You were the overwhelming majority. Bill Cassidy learned that the hard way. So did a bunch of Indiana Republican. Here's Nick Frith. That's talking about the rage by phenomenon. If you're on X, you've seen this. It was crazy this weekend.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Check this out. someone that says or anything Joe Kent says. When they were going through that, I would say, I don't, you know, I understand this criticism of Israel, but I don't understand this criticism of Israel. I would watch the comments just fill up with your paid off, you're a goia, you're a Jew boy. Did you get your 7,000 shekels? And I'm looking at that going, that's a left-wing way of arguing. The left-wing way of arguing is I'm not going to engage with your arguments.
Starting point is 00:39:03 I'm just going to, I'm going to question your character or your motivations or your intent. And it's like, yeah, that's what the left does. Anytime you bring up anything, they call you a race. racist, a bigot, or a sexist. Why? Because they're trying to rob you of moral credibility so they don't have to engage with your arguments. Folks, you see it every single day. Do not fall prey to the rage bots. Keep grounded, stay grounded, stay compass true north every time. This party has a set of values and inviolable principles. Think about it like a tree house, clubhouse rules. We don't discriminate against people according to their religion, period. Their religion. It doesn't matter what
Starting point is 00:39:38 the religion is. We don't do that. We don't discriminate. according to skin color or any of this other bullshit. People trying to pull you into this identity, politics, multipolar bullshit. Scrap them and throw them right in the garbage. That is not our party. Folks, the rage bots are not a reflection of what's going on in the real world. Be proud, stand tall. President Trump's record is incredible.
Starting point is 00:40:01 There's more to get done. We've got two and a half years left. There is more to do. However, the nothing is happening crowd is the bedrock or the rage bot agenda that want you mad at the MAGA movement because they want a fraction off their own MAGA movement and grow it, but it's not MAGA. So they have to tell you the original MAGA movement
Starting point is 00:40:22 is failing because nothing is happening. Here's a tweet by Seb Gorka this week. I thought nothing was happening again. The left-wing media and the rage bots said, President Trump, their old FBI, the DOJ, they weren't doing anything about counterterrorism. They're just focused on crime now. It's kind of crazy because all this happened
Starting point is 00:40:40 in the last 24 hours. Yeah, nothing is happening. I think nothing's happening. These guys put a lot of work into the nothing's happening. Maybe it should be a syndicated TV show like the X-Files. Here's what happened over the weekend. And last week, late on Thursday night, FBI agents locked up, Muhammad Al-Sadi in handcuffs.
Starting point is 00:40:59 The leader of an Iran-backed Iraqi terror group allegedly responsible for more than 20 attacks across Europe and Canada and for planning attacks in the U.S. I don't know that was happening. I thought, what do you want? You guys just want to let this guy attack more people? everyone's innocent till proven guilty. We get it, but a pretty big arrest also.
Starting point is 00:41:16 They locked up Jose Enrique Martinez-Flores, the highest-ranking TDA leader to be extradited to the U.S. landed in the U.S. in shackles. Your damn right, he did. That was just this past week. Here's a Fox segment on Al-Sadi. Folks, this was a serious threat. This stuff is happening.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Donald Trump is the Law and Order Counter-Terror President. You've never lived in a safer country than you live in right now. Those are just numerical objective facts, but I thought nothing was happening. This is doomerism meant to psychologically, this is a sci-op. It's an operation meant to get you before the midterms,
Starting point is 00:41:55 pissed off at the lack of action, despite action staring you right in the face, overwhelming amounts of action. Check this out. 32-year-old Muhammad al-Sadi is facing six counts of terrorism-related charges, and prosecutors say he was plotting attacks on Jewish targets in Arizona. Los Angeles and New York, and that he worked with groups that were affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Starting point is 00:42:19 New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani posted this on X last week. I'm grateful to our NYPD and federal law enforcement partners for disrupting an alleged plot involving a senior member of Katayib Hezbollah. Let me be clear, anti-Semitism, violent extremism, and terrorism have no place in our city. This kind of hate is despicable. The Department of Justice showed a social media post, allegedly from Al-Saudi, there, showing the U.S. Capitol in rubble. It's not just that, folks, there are other things happen. How many people in the audience? Folks in the chat, this is for you.
Starting point is 00:42:57 This is probably a question of this show, if any show doesn't need to be asked, but I'm going to ask you. How many care about the Second Amendment? I know I do. Because if you don't have the big art, God-given right, which you, do to defend yourself, then you're just pray for the bad guys who don't give a damn about the Second Amendment, guns, gun control, gun rights, any of that stuff, no such thing as gun control. They don't care about that. Yes, American flags in the chat, just about everybody, including our 56,500 people tuning in
Starting point is 00:43:27 right now, care about the Second Amendment. Because if you don't have the right to defend yourself, you have nothing. It doesn't really matter the tax rate because you're freaking dead. Justin, the dead people pay taxes. He said no, but actually they probably do. Unless they vote for Joe Biden, that's right. Yes, American flags in the chat. The Second Amendment matters.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Why am I bringing this up into nothing-is-hapening file segment? Because again, more things that they tell you aren't happening, the doomers that are happening that they won't tell you about because they're not interested in what's happening. They're interested in getting you to not vote. Did you see what happened in Colorado with this ridiculous magazine restriction? The Department of Justice found a very, did Trump, Department of Justice, by the way, found a very novel way for you Second Amendment advocates to make things happen where they can use some existing civil rights legislation to sue the state of Colorado.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Hat tip to my friend Chris who sent this over the week. And I'd seen this story, but I hadn't seen this video. This explains what happened. Here again is more stuff happening. Check this out. The Department of Justice just sued Colorado over its magazine van. They're using a civil rights law created after the Rodney King beating. to do it. This isn't just another Second Amendment lawsuit. The DOJ is using a federal law from
Starting point is 00:44:43 1994 that was originally designed to go after police departments accused of violating constitutional rights. And until now, it had never been used to defend the Second Amendment. Colorado bans magazines holding more than 15 rounds. The DOJ says enforcing that law violates the Second Amendment and because state troopers and CBI agents are the ones enforcing it, the federal government claims they're engaged in a pattern or practice of violating people's constitutional rights. In other words, the DOJ is treating enforcement of Colorado's gun law like a civil rights issue. And here's where it gets even more interesting, you guys. Part of the DOJ's case actually uses Colorado's own past court filings against the state. Years ago, Colorado acknowledged
Starting point is 00:45:32 that these magazines are commonly owned across the country. And by millions of people in Colorado itself. Now, the DOJ is saying, if they're commonly owned, they may be constitutionally protected. More happening from the nothing is happening file that they don't tell you about. I thought some of these people running were big civil libertarians. That's what they cared about. It's interesting how they don't want to tell you about any of this stuff, as they're constantly shitting on everyone around, oh, we do it better.
Starting point is 00:46:04 What have you done? You're not doing a lot of these folks at them. The real ones, respect, respect, period, love you. To the fake ones, Duma's trying to get in our movement because they don't like a group of people, whatever it is, it's interesting how you always leave this stuff out. Folks, we are living in a really, really dangerous time. I got a lot more coming up.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I got the Maha moment. I got to just a killer segment on AI. I'm going to take a quick break, and I'm going to get back to this because, folks, something happened in Italy this week. You need to be very concerned about serious time now, okay? we are in a really really i i don't like because i'm not trying to induce any panic in you god forbid but we do have to be real about the threats we need information moving forward because there are some threats if we don't have information i'm just going to deliver the bad news we can't stop
Starting point is 00:47:01 we can't no not if we don't stop it in the information front i'll show you what i mean because two things happen this weekend it involves cars and involves drones. And once you see it, you'll understand exactly what I'm saying. Last break, right back to the show. Speaking of which, folks, it's time to get prepared. Listen, I'm sorry, but when emergency breaks bad, if you can't take care of your family, I can't afford to take care of other people.
Starting point is 00:47:25 I got to take care of my family first. Prepare with Dan.com. My Patriot Supply is where you go for emergency preparers, equipment, emergency food.

However, information warfare is going to be the key going forward. Now, being an actual civil libertarian, I have said this many times, and I'll repeat it again during my tenure in government over the past year, was very concerned about
Starting point is 00:49:04 surveillance technology. Everything from no touch malware. You know what no touch malware is? The ability to send you something on your phone, whether you touch it or not, no touch malware, they've got your whole phone. It is really troubling. We put a number of heavy restrictions in place on the use of this technology. However, there are times, I think we can all agree, if you have probable cause to believe that there's going to be a terror attack on American soil, that we need to use this technology, correct? We used to, you know, we were. You know, we were, we've been using Title III's and wiretaps forever, as long as it passes judicial scrutiny and good guardrails on civil liberties.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Why am I talking about cars and drones right now? Because you can't, there's nothing you can do about them to make them illegal. You can make the purchase of, let's say, an info, ammonia, nitrate, and fuel oil to make a bomb, an anfo bomb, above certain amounts. You can put certain restrictions in place, make sure construction companies use them. There's nothing you can do about. about cars. You can't make the purchase or use of cars illegal, nor would you want to. So if people are going to use cars and attack, we've already seen it on Bourbon Street.
Starting point is 00:50:14 This is not new. It's happened here. Was it the sugar ball a few years ago? We've seen it already. If we can't stop the use of a car in a terror tech, then how do we stop? We have to stop it either at the border, keeping these people out of the country. We expanded the use of biometrics during our time at the FBI there to make sure we had biometrics of people overseas before they even got on the plane. You have to keep them out or you're going to see something like this that happened in Italy this weekend. Folks, let me just warn you before we play this on VO voice over here. It's not easy to watch if you have kids in the room, but this is another vehicle attack. We have seen hundreds of these around the world. Oh, man, look at this. And it goes on.
Starting point is 00:50:57 And again, I'm sorry to, but if you don't see how, what I'm talking, about I don't want to sugar code. Look at this. It's just horrendous, folks. This has already happened over and over and over again. This is why I'm telling people, like, you have to have an FBI, DOJ, DEA, a CIA that respects, roundly respects and in big, bold, bright colors, respects civil liberties. But once we get information, we have to have the tools to go after these people because
Starting point is 00:51:28 all they have to do is make a turn on the show. street and mow people down and there's nothing you can do. Here's a hero bystander tackling the driver after the bloody car and knife rampage in Italy this weekend. You can't stop this stuff with traditional tactics. You can track, you know, a nuclear weapon. You can, you know, track if you see a pattern of suspicious purchases and you have probable cause to believe someone's a bad guy. You can't stop someone for making a right turn on Bourbon Street. Drones are the same problem. Now, I think the threat from this, we're going to have to let it flesh out. I don't like panic stories.
Starting point is 00:52:10 However, I saw this story at Axios this weekend. Ladies and gentlemen, really disturbing. There's a community note on it, which I think is accurate. Exclusive, Cuba's acquired more than 300 military drones and began discussing using them to attack U.S. assets. Now, the community note, I think, is fair. U.S. officials do not believe Cuba's an imminent threat or actively planning attacks with drone discussions only in the case of deteriorating relations. However, even the community know what does deteriorating relations mean? This is a real threat.
Starting point is 00:52:41 You've seen it in real time. You're never going to stop drones. The explosive growth of this technology, through deliveries, surveillance systems. And when I say surveillance systems, don't assume I mean law enforcement. You know, bridge engineers are using this to surveil the paint job on a bridge so they don't have to send someone up to the top. This is an unbelievably valuable technology, but there is a danger. Did you see what happened in Moscow this weekend?
Starting point is 00:53:06 Yeah, like Moscow, Russia for the liberal. The Ukrainians are not starting. You've been using drones for a long time. This is some footage from a drone attack in Russia. Folks, we better get ready for this quick, man. You're not going to be able to stop this stuff without a good, solid, strong information warfare. Do you want a guy like Donald Trump in charge
Starting point is 00:53:30 who understands the civil liberties component, also understands the need and information warfare to intercept these people before they get to the country make sure and by the way if you are a non-US sit a non-us citizen outside of u.s. territories our states you do not have the protections of the constitution that is not for you we are allowed to gather intel and we should does anybody dispute that the constitution's not a global document it's a governing document for the united states you're planning a terror attack in the se hell we have and you're not a U.S. citizen, not on U.S. soil. We have no obligation to provide you any constitutional protection whatsoever. Do you want them in charge or you want dancing guy in charge and these other
Starting point is 00:54:16 guys? Folks, there's a serious party governing right now that has a spreadsheet full of results they can run on. Look what we did. And then there's a party talking about affordability. You guys want to drill? Nah, I don't want to drill. You want to lower gas price? Nah, I don't want to do that either. There's a pension crisis. So why are you rating the pensions in Washington? Washington. Everything Donald Trump does it to border. He's a racist. Really? You want to stop these people? You want to let them in mowing people down on Bourbon Street again? Shooting up our National Guard members. Lighting people on fire in Colorado. You want that? I don't want it. That's the evolving threat. I only bring up dancing guy. Do you have that Pierce, Justin Pierce, a video? Because here's
Starting point is 00:55:01 this guy and this legislator in Tennessee. I just want you to be reminded here, okay? We did a, You can look this up, by the way, receipts matter. We did this huge operation called Operation Viper, where we sent a whole bunch of FBI assets into Memphis, where this guy, he's a Tennessee legislator, this joker, moron, this guy doing the whole dance routine. We never heard a word from this guy because he doesn't give a shit about results. He never called us.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Hey, what can we do to clean up my city for my constituents? Let me, let's get this, let's reach across the state and federal divide and fix it. He never did shit. All he does is dance. Here's some more video of him getting pissed off at a hearing, confront a guy. Another fake tough guy. Look at it. Look at this guy.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Clown, Joker. Another coward. Total chump. You're fake tough guy. Oh, please stop me. I get so sick of these clowns. Fake tough guy loser. You're busy dancing.
Starting point is 00:56:08 now, never called us one time. To the citizens of Memphis being mowed down by gangs and drug slingers, I want you to know, this clown, the dancer, fake tough guy, I just want you know this guy never called us one time, never heard a word from him. He's full of shit, this guy. Actor, dancing, all the time. That's all they do. You want the dance or you want results?
Starting point is 00:56:40 Folks, technology's there. It's not going anywhere. and I want to address another uncomfortable topic. I know it's not easy for a lot of you to hear. I have said it. You've heard me say it over and over. I am concerned, not panic, but concerned about where artificial intelligence is going to go. I don't like black holes of information.
Starting point is 00:57:01 And the hard reality is some, not all, but some of the technology and AI, even the inventors of it can't explain exactly. how it works. It is a black box in some respects. Some of the new developments in AI are frightening. However, I am here to give you the hard truth and the reality of the situation, which is this. If other countries develop advanced AI systems before us, we are all freaking dead. End of story. We do not have a choice. We can fight back or we can get dead. And I'm not getting dead. That is it. There is no option C that says, stand back, don't develop any kind of cloud computing systems, don't develop AI. That is not an option. We will be dead, make no mistake. They will develop an AI cyber infiltration attack that wipes out our industrial control systems
Starting point is 00:58:01 and our grid and you're going to turn on your faucet and there ain't going to be no water. We don't have a choice. We can either be a unipolarly. leader in the space or we can be dead. That is just a hard reality of the situation. Here's Ken Griffin from Citadel talking about how AI now is growing at this. People overuse the word exponential in terms of how mathematics of it would work. He's not kidding here. There's linear progression, arithmetic progression, and geometric exponential progression. This stuff is blowing up the day we cannot be in a multipolar environment here or will be dead. Check this out. In the last few months, there has been a step change function in the productivity of the AI toolkit.
Starting point is 00:58:57 It is profoundly more powerful than it was just nine months ago. And it has been really interesting to watch, to be blunt, work that we would usually do with people with masters and PhDs, and finance over the course of weeks or months being done by AI agents over the course of hours or days. So these are not mid-tier white-collar jobs. These are like extraordinarily high-skilled jobs being, I'm going to pick a word, being automated by agenic AI. You could just see how this was going to have such a dramatic impact on society. Folks, I wish I could give you a cute little like Emily Dickinson poem right now about how great it's all going to be and there's going to be no want and there's going to be
Starting point is 00:59:53 no downsides and everything's going to be free. No, there is a downside. This stuff can be very dangerous. There's no doubt. There are a big trillion dollar companies that are finding out the hard way. Was it Google or something that's mean? They ran one of these AI programs and I forget who it was. but found like major flaws in their system
Starting point is 01:00:11 that would have taken forever. You don't think there are foreign governments doing this now? You're seeing also this regional Democrat effort to push back against AI as if there's no consequence to losing this fight. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of when I was a kid, the whole like no-nukes thing.
Starting point is 01:00:33 No-nukes is great. I wish there were no nuclear weapons. That's not the world we live in. Do you remember the 1980s? The no-nukes movement, Justin's like, I wasn't even born in 1980. I was, I was like 10 in 1984. I remember the Reagan years.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Well, no-nukes, Star Wars. That's not the world we live in. Right, good point, Jess. I'm just screaming in the streets. I'm seeing the same thing with AI. You can deal with this nuclear technological weapon. Oh, yeah, it was Google. I was right.
Starting point is 01:01:10 I'm not crazy. Google says criminal hackers use AI to find a major software for I. I knew I wasn't nuts. You can deal with this nuclear level life-changing technology, or you can go hide in a corner, pretend it's not there, and get freaking dead, just like we would have already been dead, if we would have had no nukes while the Soviets built up their nuclear arsenal under end drop off, Gorbachev and others.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Reagan said, like Trump's saying now, we've got to handle this like adults. Started with him meeting with Gorbachev in Geneva and later Reykjavik, where he was like, hey, man, we're going to deal with the world as it is. Are we going to bullshit people? You're seeing it now regionally, too. New York and we don't want any cloud computing. Fine, they'll come down to Miami and elsewhere.
Starting point is 01:02:01 We need this stuff. It's not an option, man. By the way, to all the critics out there, if you've never listened to my show and the hundreds of episodes we've done about my concerns, about unregulated AI use, just please stop, you don't know what you're talking about. There's no one more concerned to me. I'm also concerned about getting dead if we lose this fight,
Starting point is 01:02:25 and you will, and I don't want you to get dead. Speaking of not getting dead, and what is an unintentional segue about not getting dead. But you know I love these maha moments in the show. There we go. Who did that picture of RFK? Is that you? That's a little like, RFK, but if you want it, you can take that one.
Starting point is 01:02:45 That's a really nice picture they did, you know. You guys got to, you gave him a few extra inches in the chest, I can tell. He's pretty jacked. How old is he, do you know? Is he in the 70s yet? Who in the chat? No, someone be, I think he's in the 70s, right? He looked pretty good.
Starting point is 01:02:59 72, damn. 72. I remember 72? We were kids, who's 50-year-older older? Do you remember what 72 looked like when we were kids? Man, 72 was rough. We didn't have all the science and technology right now. Like, people who were in there,
Starting point is 01:03:12 in their 50s looked like they were the 70-year-olds. They just got beat up, bad, man. God bless our grandparents. They lived in a tough world, man. They were depression era and everything. But you know, I love these Maha moments. I'm obsessed with the cold plunge. I do it every morning.
Starting point is 01:03:28 I will say if you've got heart problems or medical condition, the cold plunge is probably not for you. But the Maha movement is a huge portion of the MAGA movement now going forward. And no one's happier about it than me. It is way past time. You know, the whole idea of like faith, family, and community, well, you're part of all that. You have faith. You're the head of your family and you're part of your community.
Starting point is 01:03:52 If you're not healthy, you're going to get dead. So the Maha movement's part of all that. I love the cold plunge. But there's a part about the cold plunge outside of what I think are the benefits of cold shock proteins and elsewhere. I go in for three minutes every morning, 47 degrees. It sucks every morning. It is awful, awful. I walk out of my house.
Starting point is 01:04:12 It's dark. I get up at six now. I'm in that thing by 6.10. Usually I drink some hydrogen water. And then I go in. It is the most miserable three minutes of my life. Horrible. However, I swear by it.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Here is, you're going to see the scientist first. And then David Gagins and Andrew Huberman talking about why the coal puns is not just good for the body, but is unbelievably good for the mind, your will to live, your willpower, your willpower. all of it. This is really good. Check this out. Ice bath is one of the best things that you can do for your brain. This is one of the most important discoveries that neuroscience has ever made. There's a brain structure called the anterior mid-singulate cortex. There are now a lot of data in humans when people do anything that they don't want to do. Like if you love the ice bath, yeah, I love the ice bath. You go from one minute to 10 minutes. Guess what? Your anterior mid-singulet cortex did not grow. None. But if you
Starting point is 01:05:10 You hate the cold water. There is no part of me right now that wants to do this, which is why I'm doing it. Then the enter and mid-singulate cortex gets bigger. But if you don't do it the next day, or if you do it the next day and you enjoy it, because hey, hey, I did it yesterday. Woo-hoo. The enter-mid-singulate cortex shrinks again. Yep.
Starting point is 01:05:33 So when I wake up in the morning, I don't dress warm. I wear my fucking underwear and I go outside and I lift the lid on that Morosgo. cold plunge and I see the fucking ice floating up in there. And every day I climb in. Well, how's it working? It's working. And in people that live a very long time, this area keeps its size. In many ways, scientists are trying to think of the anterior mid-singulate cortex,
Starting point is 01:05:56 not just as one of the seats of willpower, but perhaps actually the seat of the will to live. Now we're talking. Now we're talking is right. You see a little clip of Joe Rogan, who's a big cold plunge advocate. was Dana White from the UFC. Listen, I'm not your doctor. Seriously, with the cold plunge, before you start jumping in there, definitely get a checkup because there have been some issues of people with heart trouble. People without, it generally can be pretty safe, but you definitely got to check first. I'm just telling you it changed my life. People ask me about health hacks all the
Starting point is 01:06:31 time. I've got tons of them, sauna uses, collagen, creatine, feel the grids. I, you know, a healthy diet, obviously working out. I get it. This. Plunge changed my life. It really did. The dopamine surge, you get out of it last all day. I don't even drink coffee for about two hours after I get up. I come in the office. Jasmine buys me these, the blackout cold brew thingies or whatever we have. I just guzzled one of those babies. That's not for like two hours or so. Time for my air squats, Aida Ray in the chat. Yes, 100 air squats a day two. All right, folks, listen, we got an important race in Kentucky. You pick who you want, Kentucky for. I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. You got the Massey primary. Personally,
Starting point is 01:07:16 I like Ed. Ed's a nice guy. But it's up to you guys to choose. I'm just telling you, the power of the Trump endorsement, the MAGA movement is real. You know, we are a big, open tent, but, you know, don't come in the tent and shit all over the place. I'm really sorry. If you're not going to acknowledge the stuff that's going on to work, people like me, you, and others who've been building this movement for 10 years, did, and you're just going to claim nothing is happening, while a whole bunch of amazing things are happening, focus only on blackpilling and doomer stuff,
Starting point is 01:07:43 then you're really not part of our movement. You're an op, and everybody knows you're an op. But pick who you want. We'll be covering that tomorrow. Results will obviously be out on Wednesday. So we'll see what happens. But the Trump endorsement, it's the only endorsement in the business that honestly matters.
Starting point is 01:07:57 No one votes for endorsements except for his. It's been really powerful. We'll see what happens in that race. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. We got Haley coming up. Bubbles, the purple dinosaur. I did get it right the first time, Barty, right? I don't know.
