I got that, I got the trial, I got Soros losing his grip. Folks, big show for you today. welcome back on Tuesday.

Three day weekend. Not really used to those, but we had a really good time and we got to honor a fallen. It was Memorial Day. Super important. Folks, let's get right to the show.

We had the day off yesterday, did a little best of on the radio. It was interesting. I got a bunch of calls from friends who were like, Hey man, great job.

On the radio, I said, Cool, I'm not on the radio. That's a best of, but I really appreciate it.

First, the most important thing yesterday was Memorial Day. To everyone out there, as a family member who served, to everyone who served. I understand it's not Veterans Day. I get that.

It's Memorial Day. But most importantly, to the blessed souls of those who gave their lives and everything up for us. So that we can live in a free, hopefully still free country after this election. My gosh, we love you, we honor you, and I just wanted to show you a picture of my personal hero.

This is my uncle. PFC Gregory Ambrose. I'm showing you his picture because he's dead. He died, was killed in action March 15th, 1968, south of Thu Duc, Vietnam. If you want to read his story, it's on my Facebook, it's up on that, obviously on the wall.

And this guy was a hero man. Gregory Ambrose shot in the back, saving his friends, taking on hostile fire in the front lines. Out there, it's my uncle. Look at that face, that's the face of a real hero.

God bless you, sir, and God bless everyone out there in the families who've sacrificed and have lost someone in combat. You know, we say it all the time, and I hate dopey cliches. And I'm glad everyone had a good time on Memorial Day. I certainly did, but we're allowed to have a good time because of folks like my uncle Greg, so thank you.

Speaking of which, my team, a quick weekend update for you on Memorial Day. My team working hard this week. Here's a little snapshot of, by the way. So that's Evita's husband, Michael. I did not realize, even though I've met him multiple times, he's like six foot seven. I was totally all right. I'm exaggerating slightly, but there is Michael.

Then you see Evita, then you see Guy, and then you see the legend Justin, who is the intern. We don't want to be a bit easy. So Justin's like seven feet tall and notice him and Michael are like the same height. This is them working hard, they all did.

Murph guy apparently got the best time. He's a crossfit and ass kicker, so good for him. I can't do any of that stuff.

Evita's like, I do crossfit. you do crossfit. I said, I can't do crossfit. I weigh Evita by like, 200 pounds. I can't do crossfit.

My joints can't take it, I'm sorry, I'm way too old. I put a picture up on Instagram. I highly recommend you don't check it out, but if you'd like, you go right ahead. Because not bad for 50. But I'm telling you, they're all show muscles.

They don't actually do anything. I had a good time. I was out at the Stuart Sandbar this weekend. On Sunday, I met so many nice people who came up and wanted to take pictures and say hello.

I get out there a lot, I love it, so cool, not much else this weekend. More important, we honored the fallen. But my team busting their butts while I was out on the boat with the orthodontist.

It was great. So let me get to this first, folks. The Democrats are in a full-blown freak out over Joe Biden. How do you know that, Dan? I don't.

I'm just reading the freaking headlines, political, literally, dems in full-blown freak out over Biden. Justin, did you manipulate Photoshop? That headline? He did not. This is the actual headline.

How many times do I gotta tell you? We are so ahead of the curve here? This guy is not gonna be the nominee on one condition, so you don't go later. Oh, he's a nominee, you gotta run, there's one condition.

The second he even opens the door to leaving, he's the only one who doesn't wanna leave right now, him and his wife. Everyone else realizes this guy is a political pot potato, nobody wants him, nobody wants him around.

Folks, they don't know what to do now. How do I know that? They're freaking out, too? I'm not talking about the people in the article, we know Democrats are freaking out because they're saying it to Politico.

We get that right there. I'm talking about the Biden team, the internal Jill Biden, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden team. We're the only people thinking he can win. Folks, they are going all in right now on the Trump trial today, closing arguments today.

We're expecting a verdict this week in the Twinkies Michael Cohen Abomination star Chamber trial up in New York. The Biden team, which had previously Follow me here, taken a hands-off approach to this. They did not want to look like. Through Colangelo and others who used to work for the Biden, DOJ is now working with Twinkies. They didn't wanna look like they had their fingers on it. The Biden team, because it just reeks of tyranny. So the Biden team had stayed relatively message disciplined, even though we know they're in it.

I get it, don't send me an email. What are you saying? Biden's not involved? No, I'm telling you the opposite, I'm saying, of course, they're involved through Colangelo and others.

They just stayed the message, discipline was pretty good. They didn't say too much about it because they didn't wanna look like they were doing what they were doing. Get it, got it good, moving on.

So today, they've changed their minds completely. 10 15 right before the show started. AM this morning. On Tuesday, they sent a messaging team out in front of the courthouse. And why the hell they decided to pick the absolute craziest of Hollywood celebrities? Who, by the way, Evita pointed out a great point. The guy shows up with, like a full N95 respirator.

He had a great career, no doubt, not gonna knock the guy's acting career. He had some great flicks. But let's be honest, Bobby D not made a big hit in a long time. We haven't seen him.

Now he's just busy with the screen, he goes up there and he starts screaming and yelling like a lunatic. Hecklers, tear this guy to pieces.

You want to talk about getting wrecked? This is hilarious, check this out. But this city is pretty accommodating. We make room for clowns.

We have them all over the city, people will do crazy things in the street, we tolerate it. It's part of the city, it's part of the culture. But not a person like Trump who will eventually run the country.

That does not work, and we all know that.

Anyway, we make room for clowns to each his own, but no one takes him or took him really serious. They take him seriously now, of course. Oh my gosh, the irony of little Bobby D with his lips talking about clowns and how nobody takes him seriously. Donald Trump was the president of the United States. He's up on your homie, Joe Biden, by like three to four points nationally, in double digits in many of the swing states.

And you're sitting there having a panic attack on TV, by the way. Later on, he started going at it with a bunch of street hecklers, which just made the whole thing look like a complete shit show. Just embarrassing. Why would the Biden team now take an active footprint in what's going on? He's apparently gonna give a speech to White House Biden about this, too, because, folks, he's jumped the shark.

He knows now he can't win, now he's running on. I'll take this guy out, even if I've gotta be a tyrant to do it. He has nowhere else to go. I need you to understand that this is the Biden inside baseball team. Realizing everything they ran on before Bidenomics. All this other crap, the Inflation Production act and everything else, all of that stuff is dead as a doornail. Let's run now, going full-timer.

You understand what I'm telling you? This is an important schism that developed today between old Biden and new Biden. This is gonna get worse now. They're now taking it head on. Yes, we're tyrants.

You should vote for it. We're gonna be the ones to stop this dictator Donald Trump by doing dictator stuff right now.

I can't, I really. I can't think of a worse message. Completely, completely ate it this morning. So it just goes to show you the difference, by the way, between Biden and Trump. Biden can't get out there, he's gotta send ridiculous surrogates out there.

Bobby De Niro and this loser crew up there at 1015. Out there this morning. In front of the courthouse, Judge Murchon closing arguments today, nobody even knows the jury instructions, what he's gonna give anymore. You gotta remember, they've gotta prove every crime beyond a reasonable doubt, they haven't even alleged one yet.

They're gonna get rescued by Murchon, I think, but here's the difference, you know? And I'll get to the I'm gonna get to the sore stuff later, I promise in the headline. It's important he is losing his grip and we're starting to see a tide of the country change there.

But I wanna contrast first. Biden this weekend, who's fallen asleep at a memorial day, at a Memorial Day event in the background, looks like he's picking his nose at one point. A guy who the snapshots and the soundbites cannot get any worse for. While Trump is out there and he got a mixed reception at the Libertarian Convention.

But that's not the point. Folks, you know, I don't run cover for anybody. There's no reason for me to run cover for anyone. At least he went out there and had the balls to speak to a group of people. I like libertarians.

I know they get a kind of a, some of them get a bad rap. But I think the libertarian position on a lot of issues is more in line with my thinking. So, you know, I don't worship politicians of any party, just like specific outcomes and ideas are important. But I applaud Trump for going out there. He went to the Libertarian Convention, and by the end of the convention, I think he changed a lot of hearts and minds. I want you to listen to this line at the end, where he understands, showing you I'm right.

He understands Biden's about to transition to full tyrant and get away from the other stuff. So Trump's decided he's gonna counter that message with a freedom and liberty message and point out how Biden is, in fact, a tyrant. Check this out. Last year, I've been indicted by the government on 91 different things.

So if I wasn't a libertarian before, I sure as hell am a libertarian now.

And unlike Joe Biden, I don't throw people in jail for disagreeing with me. I don't do that, folks. He needs tactics. This is pure tactics. Okay, tactics, tactics, tactics.

That's what wins campaigns to the Trump team that's decided to focus on this. This is a winner, this is a winning message. A lot of people feel aggrieved by the government, they feel screwed over.

They're pissed off at the government, and it's not a racial thing, it's the underdog thing. This guy taking on the man was a message the Liberals had back in the hippie 60s. We're gonna go take on him. Who's the man?

I don't know. No one can even define who the man was. They thought it was the government. That's Trump's message now, that's our message now.

And I gotta believe a lot of conservatarians like me, who have some conservative positions, but libertarian positions, heard that and they thought, Listen, this is our best choice right now. Some people who are libertarian just don't want anything to do with it, and that's fine. You do what you wanna do. I mean, I'm not telling you who to vote for.

I tell you who I vote for and you do what you want. But the contrasts here are getting worse for Biden. How they think De Niro is a good optic for them. Bobby De Niro in front of a courthouse in a Star Chamber trial. It's just obscene.

While Trump's out there speaking to people in the South Bronx, the Libertarian Convention, he can't do this. Here he is this weekend, Biden, he's at an event. And is this guy even real?

He's talking about the African diaspora, he starts talking about what? Barack Obama, what is he talking about? This guy? The brain has turned into total mush. Ladies and gentlemen, it's not gonna get any better.

The tyranny angle is the only thing he's got. Check this out, you know? Jill and I are honored to have you here and representing, including many members of the African diaspora. One just left Barack.

Folks.

No one even knows what to do. This guy is so cringe. Their message is being lost, They don't know what to do. They need to go back to economic basics.

I'm not here to give the Democrats advice, I'm just telling you. They've so divorced themselves from what's supposed to be their core constituencies, supposed to drive them through the election. Remember, you need a base, plus a few more, right? Their base is not a base.

Their base is leaving them. Forget the few more. You may have seen this one viral this weekend, but this is James Carville. He's been a pretty prominent Democrat activist and advisor, focus group type guy for years, but he's had his finger on the pulse of the Democrat Party for a long time.

He acknowledged this week Their messaging is total shit. They've divorced themselves completely from this everyday messaging to stuff honestly only a fringe of people care about. Again, we give little boys sex changes at nine and 10 years old. Can we tax the rich into oblivion? Green new deal shit.

Chargers, all of them. Nobody cares about this stuff, people care about their wallets, they're suffering, they can't even buy McDonald's anymore.

Did you see that receipt that went viral? From a McDonald's thing? Carville's trying to tell these guys get your ass together, they can't. It's too late. I promise you, it's too late.

All we've got to do right now, all we've got to do, is stay on the track and not screw this thing up. Check this out. And we keep wondering why these young people?

Aren't coming home to the Democrats? We say, oh, why are Blacks not coming home to the Democrats? because Democratic messaging is full of shit. That's why, folks, I'm going to tell you something.

You know, listen, I'm asking you to really do a deep dive on what I'm telling you now and start doing your own homework too as well. In addition to the show, because I have an hour with you. Biden's not going to be the nominee. They are desperately trying to talk this guy now through media people into leaving without confronting him directly. Here's what's going on.

You ready? They can't say directly what they want to say. When I say they, I mean Clintons and Obama type people. Those are the two big power brokers right now in the Democrat Party. I'll throw one more in there.

The squad movement, the Cori bushes, the AOcs, there's a lot. I know it sounds crazy, but there's a lot of energy with them too, so throw them in too.

You've got Clintons, you've got Obama acolytes, and you've basically got the squad type. Those are the three or two and a half major power brokers, right, with Obama and Clinton holding a large portion of the money in the activist space. Okay, none of them want to say directly Biden needs to get out. Have you heard AOC say it? Nope.

Have you heard Clinton say it? Nope, they're going to a fundraiser for him. Have you heard Barack say it? Obama? President Obama? No, you have not.

They didn't say they won't say it, but their surrogates are. David Axelrod came out this week just panning a Biden on his economics stuff. He's the Obama guy, they're the mouthpieces, right? Van Jones, Obama mouthpiece.

CarViLLE Total Clinton mouthpiece, you've got these progressives on the left starting to hint leak to Politico. You saw the headline, Hey, this guy's got to get out, this guy is not going to be the nominee.

The final step again, it's right there. I'm not. I'm just trying to tell you. The Republicans need to start getting ready for someone different. Who is it going to be? Probably Kamala Harris? They're in an identity politics trap right now.

Biden openly said, This is how I'm going to make my decision for Vice president on identity policy. It's not me saying it, he said. It just go look, it's not my fault.

And what are they going to do back away from Kamala Harris? It's not going to be Michelle Obama. There's no one coming in to save them, man.

I'm going to play this clip first. This is Fox's Jackie Heimrich on exactly how. Even pollsters are starting to say now they better start making a move quick. Because this guy, mathematically, at this point, his chances of winning are going watch this polling guru. Nate Silver put it pretty starkly this week, saying If Biden is trailing by three points in August, he'll be a big underdog. And if it's five or six points, it's unsalvageable.

And Biden, at that point, should consider stepping aside. BRAD again, Folks, it isn't me.

I hate to keep saying that, I'm just trying to make the point this is not some bizarre conspiracy theory. Republicans who are in the movement right now better start preparing for other people. Because I don't see this guy being the nominee, I just don't.

Nothing's going to get any better. He keeps saying stupid things, he gets lost on stage, he can't give a speech anymore. Now he's got the anchor of Hunter Biden's case, possibly being adjudicated right before the election.

None of this is getting any better, brothers and sisters. And that's why he is all in right now. Biden ongoing full-timer. Hey, I don't even care. If you know, I'm going to put Trump in jail with my DA up there in New York, I'm going to keep the dictator air quotes away from you.

That's their new line of attack.

I'm going to warn you too, you can expect more of this coming forward. Trump is going to be Hitler. They're actually saying it right now directly. I'll show you what I mean coming up next. Hey, American Financing.

So here's Dan Goldman. Dan Goldman obviously is a lunatic. He is a far left congressman. No one knows how he got that job up there. Dan Goldman's done it through connections and all this other stuff.

The guy who's one of the PP tape hoaxers, total life loser and a zero. They're going all in on this, they're trying to contrast now. They were trying to give an economic message before, on Bidenomics, that's not working and fell flat.

Now they're going to go in on Trump's Hitler, and Biden's the only one to stop it. Even if we have to use and throw the Constitution in the garbage, extra constitutional means and star chambers to get them. This is going to be their new message. I'm telling you, listen to this show, mark the date, check this out. He is paving the way to become a Vladimir Putin, or to become an Adolf Hitler or a Kim Jong-un.

That's what he wants to be. And all of this is in the lead up to paving the way for him to win this election. And then to take over this country and literally to eliminate the democracy that we know. You only have to listen to them. Gauge the success of what your political tactics and how much ground they're gaining in this political trench warfare, right? Gauge them by the response of your opponents.

All you've got to do is watch what they do. When they think something you're doing is a waste of time, they sit back and they let you fall in the ditch. When the Democrats are freaked out about something you can tell, just watch their reaction. It is not an accident that Goldman is taking this trajectory into Trump. Is Hitler again?

It's the only thing they tried to get away from it for a little while, a little. I shouldn't say get away from it. That's going to come off the wrong way. Like they were taking a high road, that's not it. There's a limited amount of time for messaging.

They tried this whole Bidenomics thing. You can go listen to the speeches, folks, go back and listen, go to C-Span wherever he's at, watch the Biden speeches, you'll see them evolve.

First, it was all January 6th all the time, and then when the midterms, when they did okay in the midterms, they doubled down. And then Biden's polls took a hit for the worse after the Mar-a-Lago raid. This is the trajectory of what happened. You can watch yourself.

Then they realized that, oh shit, this star chamber stuff. Raids, search warrants, FBI attacks, Twinkie's case. This really isn't working. Let's transition to the economy. Biden kept going down, so now they're going right back again to look. We're going to put the dictator in jail before he turns the country into a hellscape, you know? It's so fascinating to watch.

I was not to get off topic, but I was watching a history channel. Yesterday I was home for a little bit, kind of chilling out after a busy Sunday. So yesterday. I'm watching the world at War, so I've seen it a couple of times. Really great show. And you know, you watch the rise of Lenin and Stalin and Hitler, and you've almost got to laugh at these morons on the left.

Everything the left is doing and recommending is the mark of an authoritarian state. Everything ignoring court rulings, the student loan thing. The theft of private market, free market decision-making by intruding government into people's lives, the takeover of healthcare systems and various government bureaucracies. And then you've got Trump, who did the exact opposite. All you've got to do is read a history book to realize the actual tyrants are the people on the left, folks, they're not us.

And we better wake up. I told you they were going to weaponize, I told you the Democrats were going to continue to weaponize the process. And I need you to understand that. The only way we're going to fight back and win is not to sit here and try to teach moral lessons to these people. They tried to kick Trump off the ballot. There's going to be a verdict this week in a trial in New York with a fake crime.

They're trying them in Georgia, in D.C. on fabricated, made-up nonsense. You're not going to write op-eds in the Washington Post. You have no idea how many people the dispatch crowd, some people in National Review and others not all. But they really think we're going to moralize the left into bringing the country back to the Constitutional Republic. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. The Mar-a-Lago search warrant moment last week. Sorry, I got some sound in a minute from Garland. Should be a dividing line for all of us.

Anyone who tried to defend this thing is not on the side of us. The movement trying to get the freedom train back to the station. Anyone? I'll show you what I mean, too. People just don't get this. I told you in Ohio, right? This story's a perfect example of what I'm talking about in the state of Ohio. The dumb-ass Democrats scheduled the convention after the ballot deadline in Ohio.

You understand what that means? Biden is not going to be the official nominee of the party by the time the Ohio ballot deadline is up and the nominee goes on the ballot. You're like, how did they miss that? The answer is because they're morons. I don't know what to tell you.

It's no one's fault, but the Democrats.

Joe Biden does not belong on the ballot in Ohio. Because the Democrats can't follow basic rules. If they can't follow basic rules, how do you expect them to govern? Who's going to save them again? Not the Republicans. Don't throw them under the bus. The Republicans in the state legislature in Ohio are like, Screw this guy.

Biden didn't make it on the ballot on time. That's not our problem. The governor there, DeWine, wants a special session. AP Special session for ensuring Biden makes Ohio's fall ballot could take several days. Why are we doing this?

Why are we saving these people from themselves if they want to screw this up and they're too stupid to follow the law even though they're in government? Just to be clear, the Democrat message in Ohio is let us manage your healthcare, your kids, schools, and let us dictate how the economy moves forward. But by the way, we can't even file a ballot deadline and schedule our dates in advance of the Ohio ballot, that's not our problem.

Why are we saving these idiots?

I want you to watch this video. This is Democrat super lawyer Mark Elias. And believe me, that's not a compliment. This is the PP tape dude, this is the whole spygate guy, guy who's knee deep.

In all of this, this whole scandal, this guy is one of the worst human beings in the country. He's probably one of the 10 most destructive people to liberty and freedom in the whole country. Gauge the success of what you're doing by the response of your political opponent. Watch how freaked out Elias is about the Democrats being too dumb to meet the ballot deadline in Ohio and try to blame Republicans for trying to steal elections.

That's hilarious. Check this out here. You have a Republican legislature in Ohio that is throwing up unnecessary roadblocks simply to make it harder for the Biden campaign to have its convention when it's otherwise scheduled. It is another, as you say, example of the erosion of democracy.

These people are intolerable. They are trying to kick Trump off the ballot in multiple states for fake crimes. They made up, they just fabricated out of thin air, using a 14th Amendment provision that has absolutely nothing to do with the presidency at all. And because his moron party can't even read the law and make a ballot deadline, we're the ones trying to steal democracy. This is the dipsy-do flipperoo.

They accuse you of what they're doing to distract you. And it's also an example of now, you know, this is successful holding the Democrats. They say no one's above the law. Well, no one is in Ohio. This guy should not be on the ballot, folks.

I'm sorry anyone out there. Oh, let's take the high road and show them an example, an example of what? How we can rescue the morons in your party, too bad.

Joe Biden can run as a write-in in Ohio. Thank you, no thanks, and don't surrender on this M-a-l Mar-a-lago story. By the way, Merrick Garland, again is freaking out. Measure the damage of this story by the freak out on their side.

So this Mar-a-Lago story has gotten even crazier. The nutbags on the left, of course, love the idea that, for some bizarre reason, the FBI decided to use the standard or whatever and bring weapons into Mar-a-Lago. Totally unnecessarily. No one still has answered the question on the left. If that's the case and we want to serve a search warrant at the White House, why would we not be allowed to carry guns in here? The answer is you wouldn't be, because it's a secure facility and the Secret Service would say it's unnecessary.

Kind of sounds like the Mar-a-Lago thing, right? Here's Merrick Garland, our attorney general in name only, desperate to spin this story. I want you to notice here. Listen to what he says about the guns, the use of force, authorization, which standard for whatever they call standard procedure. They know they messed up, they know they messed up.

And I want you to watch Garland, who never gets emotional. Try to spin this thing as the inclusion of the standard use of force thing is the limits on the use of force. What, what? How does that even make sense here? Watch this. I got a. Most of us got a solicitation email this morning from the former president of the United States, saying that the Justice Department had authorization to kill him during the Mar-a-Lago raid.

First, can you give us some clarification on that particular point that he's making? And whether or not? Deadly force is authorized in other interventions, including the search of Mr. Biden's residence and office? And the second question is, can I do one at a time? Okay, on that one. That allegation is false and it is extremely dangerous.

The document that is being referred to in the allegation is the Justice Department. Standard Policy limiting the use of Force, as the FBI advises, it is part of the Standard Operations Plan for Searches. And, in fact, it was even used in the consensual search of President Biden's home. So, just to be clear, why would you need to include a document limiting the use of force at the Mar-a-Lago raid if there wasn't use of force authorized at the raid? I'm not telling you they went in there to kill Donald Trump.

It was not an assassination plot. That's not what happened. I'm making a simple point that Garland still can't answer. Why did you even have to introduce this paperwork about limiting the use of force if use of force was even an issue?

It shouldn't have been an issue. And then he brings up the consensual search of Biden's okay, so Biden, who you insist was cooperating, gets the benefit of a consensual search. Where, yeah, of course, use of force isn't gonna be an issue because everybody's buddy-buddy and they can work it out in advance. Trump doesn't get any of that, even though he was cooperating with the FBI. They do an unexpected raid, creating, albeit small, the chance of some use of force. Thing that had to be lined out in the document about what happens if the Secret Service engages with them.

In other words, they have to interact. Folks, this is insanity. how can you defend this? This is totally freaking bananas. There was no need for the paperwork because it should have never happened.

I don't even know how else to describe. Is this hard for people to get? It's like the F.BI tomorrow raids Tim Scott's house because they find out he could be a vice presidential pick on a false charge. And they got them down on the floor at gunpoint, and people are questioning the paperwork. That's not what this is about.

Why was it even necessary to go in there with a use of force disclaimer at all? How hard is this? how hard is this? And the great Julie Kelly put up a tweet this weekend again to the former Feds and people defending this lethal force. Whatever standard operating procedure.

The FBI, it says, she notes, lied about why they needed to be armed a dumbbell and a meat cleaver. So apparently there was like a workout room and some kitchen equipment. And I guess they thought this was some life threatening situation for the FBI. Come on, man.

You engage in an unprecedented raid, never done in American history. Was no need to be armed at all. This could have been done entirely consensually, just like you did it for your homie Biden and your excuses. There's a kitchen on the premises, there's a kitchen at the White House, too.

What if the F.B.I. wanted to serve a search warrant there? They can never answer these questions because they would expose themselves for who they are.

All right, I'm going to get to the Soros thing coming up, I promise. I'm not unnecessarily teasing, I just want to leave some time, a couple of things I want to get to first.

Folks, these guys are in real trouble and you're going to see them again continue to flail. Trump is Hitler, Trump is Stalin, you're going to see all this crap because they don't really have anywhere else to go. The finger stick issues that impact elections, the ones that kind of stick you every single day and drive you crazy, crazy enough to kind of change your behavior.

I don't like these finger sticks, I'm going to put a Dexcom meter on my arm or whatever it is. These finger stick issues are piling up for them. They're things that are starting to get in people's way and starting to really bother people, and one of them is this DEI stuff.

Folks, I don't care what your intentions were, I don't care, all I care about is results. I've said that over and over with politicians. Everyone right now is being affected by this.

Carville talked about it at the beginning of the show. If the Democrats message going forward is going to be to continue to rely exclusively on quotas? Race, transgenderism, sexual orientation, skin color, all this stuff, identity politics. Going forward, they're going to finger stick America into changing parties en masse, they're tired of this stuff. I can't imagine a more destructive story than this one that popped this weekend in the Washington Free Beacon. They're noting how racial preferences in a medical school have persisted.

That now up. To look at the subtext here, the sub headline I'm sorry. Up to half of the UCLA medical students now fail basic tests of medical competence.

Is this on Bongino?

Com Thank you, Avita, Avita says. It's on bongino.com. Whistleblowers say affirmative action, which is illegal in California, is to blame. Folks. I don't care what your intentions are.

The results matter. People are going to die. The left is marrying themselves to this stuff, not realizing they're alienating everyone in the process, including including minority Americans who are tired of this stuff, too.

Didn't just look at the results. Donald Trump's getting record numbers of minority Americans to vote for him. The great irony is, you think you're appealing to minority voters by telling them what they can't do, while Donald Trump is busy telling them what they can.

Focus Inflation's killing them, too. inflation's killing them, that they're redefining the word now. Axios got beat up for this. this article about the changing definition of inflation. But I'm not, listen, I'm not far from defending Axios, but I didn't take it that way here. Let me just put up the piece first.

Axios has this inflation reality check piece. Inflation is such a finger stick issue that's going to destroy the Democrat Party if this continues. That they're starting to say. Now, the meaning of the word inflation has changed. it used to mean rising prices, it now means high prices.

A lot of folks beat up Axios on this, saying, like, Oh, look, they're doing a dictionary game changing the deficit. I don't think that's what they're doing here, I think what they're doing is they're trying to. I don't want to explain this one to you. I think this is more of a warning to the Democrats, I don't think they're trying to help anyone here. Other than a warning to the Dems. That when Joe Biden goes out and says, Hey, inflation is coming down, the Axios is saying consumers and voters don't see that.

They associate inflation with high prices. Now, prices may not be going up as much since Biden took office, and they're up 19 overall, but they're not coming down. So when they hear inflation's coming down, voters are like, Well, the prices aren't. You're full of shit. So they got beat up a little bit for this. But I think this is more of kind of like a wake-up call. Carville message to the Democrats that voters don't care if your inflation's coming down, you better do something about the damn prices.

This is how, you know, things are bad, folks. Axios is like to the left of Lenin for them to be saying, Hey, we got a problem, we got a problem. Now they've had to resort to doing explainers on even MSNBC about inflation. This is a point I've been making forever.

You're never wasting your time here. I promise I love economics. How long have I been telling you all in the chat, right? how long have I been saying? It is not about the rate of change of prices.

It's about the level.

Obama's inflation, excuse me, Biden's inflation. In the beginning, the prices have never come down. Even Austin Goolsbee and Stephanie Ruhle, two left-wingers. They went on MSNBC trying to explain exactly this. This is a nudge to the Democrats. You better get your messaging right on this and do something about prices and cut the bullshit. Check this out.

We need an economic explainer. People are confused, they're exhausted, but they're also doing quite well. So I wanna start with prices, they've been an issue for everyone. What is your take when you hear about big consumer brands actually cutting prices?

Good, but you've had inflation that got way too high in the U.S. and in other countries around the world. Incomes didn't keep up with that. Now. Inflation slowed in 2023, actually quite a lot. inflation came down almost as much as it's ever come down. You see how these two things are completely different. And Democrats are starting to realize that this the takeaway from this is this problem is not fixable. Folks for them by November.

It's not. There's simply no way. The 19 price increase since Biden took office is going to correct itself by the November election. And the Democrats have gotten a problem now. Tie it into the show. Everything fits on each other, is layered on top of each other for a reason.

You see why they're making the transition now back to January 6th. Fascism, Trump's Hitler, you see why they realize they can't fix this. This inflation problem is a tick already burrowed in. It's not coming back.

It's made a way into your circulatory system. There's no way to get it out, just follow the signs everywhere. Look at this town Hall article Inflation reduction acts. Dirty little secret. Remember they were supposed to get a hold of price controls of Medicare costs?

Yeah, well, this year's premiums increased by 21 on average. Nothing they're doing is working, nothing they're supposed to be the Democrats, the Party of Medicare and entitlements. nothing they're doing is working.

Nothing. Here's one of the craziest commentators you're ever going to see on the left, Molly Jong Fast, who is an absolute lunatic. Right here, she is on a left-wing network, saying the same thing. This inflation thing is a dog.

Basically, the Bidenomics thing is a dog. They're in real trouble. Take a look. So how much of this is Trump amnesia, where people have deluded themselves that the economy was better than actually it was when Trump was in office? And how much of this is simply inflation, which just angers people?

And honestly, there's not much a president can do about it. Well, people hate inflation, and that is, and the idea that something you bought is now, you know, significantly higher, is just infuriating. Voters hate that. Do you hear, folks? do you hear the vocal fry? oh?

I hate Vocal Fry so much. If you do that, just stop, please stop. vocal Fry is the worst, they said. That started with, like, Kim Kardashian or something.

I don't really know, but just stop the vocal fry. She's not wrong, man. You are going to see a transition from this point forward where they're all in on Trump as Hitler, and we need to do anything to stop it. Having said that, I promised you at the beginning of the show a little segment. We're gonna be doing these closer to the election.

Folks, is it bad enough yet? I don't know. I ask this question often as the voting environment, with street crime, the economy, the healthcare system, the chaos, the over-regulation. Has it gotten bad enough? Yet that people's voting patterns are gonna change in mass? Like they did during the Reagan years, when he won 49 states, we're clearly not there yet.

Is it bad enough? Yet? One day, I think we'll say yes, but we're certainly getting there right now, we are getting there. No, no, I'm looking at, nope, nope, nope. Is it yet?

Wait, who just said yes in the chat? Killian GW Is that? Did you make a mistake there? It's not bad, it's getting there. How do I know that, folks? The George Soros prosecutors have had a successful, almost 10-year run now, where they basically destroyed public safety in American cities all over the country.

New York, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon. You've seen these places getting taken over by far-left funder George Soros, who funds these DA races. And the reason he does this is street chaos. The Democrats have always wanted street chaos. Chaos breeds a desire to return to normalcy.

Nobody likes chaos, and when enough chaos breaks out, where the system seems to fall apart. Lefties like Soros are hoping that you'll crave lust and salivate for government to come and make everything nice again. This has always been, I call it my walking dead theory, where the zombie apocalypse they all walk into the prison to escape the zombies, and they love it. That's what liberals do.

They voluntarily insert themselves into a prison to escape. What's on the outside? But, folks, the Soros grip is starting to slowly, slowly collapse, how even left-wing cities are starting to realize, Yep, it's bad enough. Daily Caller has an interesting piece Soros Empire's grip on America's legal system might be loosening.

This piece is great. He talks about how the Portland Oregon race that happened this week, how you see in San Francisco with Chesa Boudin, St. Louis with Kim Gardner and others. That there's an opening here that Soros may have created. It shows one thing that even the left-wingers, even the left-wingers, are starting to realize that left-wing politics is cannibalistic and destroys the left-wing. Because these are left-wing cities where people are being hurt, robbed, mugged, raped and killed.

And they're starting to realize that we can't continue to vote for this. Does this mean Trump's gonna win? 39 40 states? I'd be nice, I doubt it personally, but I think we'll win, but I don't think that many states. But how do I know that these guys are in real trouble?

Always measure again your effectiveness by your opponent's response. We have successfully taken on the Soros empire's funding of these left-wing das in the street chaos. To the point now, where if you mentioned Soros like I do today, the left-wing immediately comes out and says, what? Well, that's definitely anti-semitism, because they don't have anywhere else to go.

Why? It doesn't matter, they just make it up, that's not really what they just say it, but that's how, you know, we're having an impact. They're desperately they'll throw anything at the wall to get you to stop talking about this.

Washington Times embattled Soros-linked DAS leaving office amid high crime and complaints. They talk about what happened with Kim Gardner in St. Louis. Andrew Warren, Hillsborough State attorney, removed by Governor DESantis. Marilyn Mosby, who's in a world of trouble up there in Baltimore, she's gone. But these people are in real trouble. Chesa Boudin You see in the San Francisco Chronicle why I'm not running for office in 2024.?

Folks, the worst thing and the biggest problem the left has are themselves.

The best thing we have going for us is our ideas.

Remember, ladies and gentlemen, if they were proud of what they were doing, they wouldn't be emulating Snake Plissken and trying to escape from New York and escape from L.A. These cities are emptying out because they've done it to themselves now. We don't want them in our states. I just want to make that clear. But we're on the right ideological side, if there's a moral arc of history, you're on the right side of it.

Hey, this is a story I had to follow up on because it's really important. A while back, this broke and I warned you about this trap.

There's this trap out there where our faith in government is diminished so much that anything that's said, ever. You and I have a tendency, obviously, to throw it right in the garbage. Because it came from the government. We don't trust them and a healthy amount of skepticism is always good. But we have a real problem when the government becomes so awful. Where we are now, and so many people are ready to give up on it. That basically anything that's said by anyone, we throw in the trash instead of looking at the facts in front of us. Do you remember this space weapon story? It came out, everybody freaked out.

They're like, Oh my gosh, they've got a death star, the Russians, we're all gonna die, you remember the Death star? Space Nuke story? And I said, Listen, apply the Bongino rule. Everybody chill, let's let the facts come out, don't throw the story out. It may be true, but don't jump on the Russian Death star story either. And panic because it appears they may be using this as a message vehicle to get some more Ukraine money.

Well, it turned out there may be an element of truth to this story. Now, this is ABC, so take this all with a grain of salt. But the Russian space weapon story? There are some now facts to back it up that at least elements of this may be true. Check this out video from Russia's military appearing to show that launch.

While there's no indication that Russia plans on attacking other satellites, and it is not the first time Russia has done this. When asked if the Russian counter space weapon posed a threat to U.S. satellites, a Pentagon spokesman said It's a counter space weapon in the same orbit as a U.S. government satellite. The Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. is calling this launch troubling. David, Troubling indeed. You'll continue to track it for us, Martha, Thank you.

Now again, it's ABC, I understand, and I'm urging you all, with a note of severe caution, to never take anything at face value. Be a skeptic, however, don't be a skeptic that ignores facts, either. Okay, sometimes, if this stuff may be real. And what I don't want is people who are, let's say, ideological opponents to the United States, in other words, foreign adversaries. To take advantage of skepticism and get us to ignore the obvious just for a second, I know it's ABC, throw that out the window and pretend that was an actual reputable news organization.

It's a story that should have us not panicking, panic kills. But it's a little nerve wracking that the Russians have some ability to kind of knock. If we knocked out our satellites, we'd be in a world of trouble. Now I showed you ABC, I'll show you the Wall Street Journal. They tend to lean a little bit right, but they can go left on some issues. Vindicating Mike Turner on Space Nukes. New details show the House Intel chair was right to raise alarms about Russia's prototype anti-satellite weapon. I'm just saying, foreign adversaries of the United States, if they are, and if they do, have some plot to say. They potentially take out or gain leverage over our satellites, which would black out a lot of us and cause us some real problems. I'm just telling you they will probably do their best to make sure that people throw water on it and bury the story so they can continue to do it. We don't cover it.

And I wanted to add one more thing about this, so you don't just completely throw this story in the trash. That Obama movie they put out on Netflix was it Leave the World Behind. Does anybody find that odd that this is Obama's first project? That the guy was the president? So he knows things you and I don't know?

And he was apparently passionate about this project, reached out to the writer of the book. They had him and Michelle and her production company, they had to do this project. What was the story about? It was basically about our internet getting knocked out, you assume, by a foreign adversary, and what happened? That's it, right. Yeah, leave the world behind. Thanks that again, I don't trust Obama as far as I can throw him, and that's not very far. But you don't find it a little strange that he saw the movie realistic enough and would appeal enough that he put his own money and his production company behind it?

Be careful about this stuff. They knock out our satellites, we'd be in real trouble.

All right, this is more of a personal story. I don't know why. It's about you. No, it's not about me. But I was running for office a long time ago, up in the state of Maryland. I'm running for Senate and I'm at this event. It was like some black and white thing, you know, me, black and white. I didn't even own a tuxedo back then, probably had a red one or whatever, probably didn't even fit. Because I never went for the measure. I'd just tell them over the phone, whatever, so I'm at this thing, I'm running. I'm the U.S. Senate nominee and I run into this guy, I think he's past this guy. Chuck Ecker, right?

He was the Howard County executive for a while, that's a blue county, but he was a Republican. But this guy, he understood politics better than anyone. And I sat down with him for a minute, we're chatting, and I said to him, I said, You know, Chuck? With the government, it's always expanding, even at the local level. They get their tentacles and everything. I said. It's just unbelievable that they don't just kind of limit their own power and realize this is so destructive. And I was bringing up the example of how they were harming business in Maryland.

You get these local government bureaucrats a lot. They make it so difficult to do business in their towns that the towns wind up losing money. And yet the local government bureaucrat still gets paid. And you're like, this would never happen in a normal business. And Chuck Ecker said something to me I'll never forget. I brought it up on my show a couple times, he said. Dan. Government grows bigger, and bureaucracies don't ever shrink their own power, because there's no power in Yes.

And I said, Holy Moses, this guy is smart. There's no power in yes, there is only government power in telling people no, why is that? Because if you tell people no, they've got to get to yes.

And how do they get you to? Yes? They lobby you, they give you campaign donations, they give you a pat on the back and tell you how, Oh, you're so wonderful. Hey, can you pass my certificate of occupancy? Hey, can you permit us for this? can you permit us for that?

There is no power in yes, there's only power in no. Why is this a personal story? You know, I like going to Morgan Wallen. Turns out the Nashville Council, Morgan Wallen's putting a bar up down there, near Broadway.

I don't know if you heard about this. He wants to put a sign up, some Morgan Wallen sign or some neon sign on his bar. The Nashville Council, who must be full of liberals, apparently. Because they don't like this guy, they don't, I don't know, they don't like the fact that is he not? I don't know, I don't know his politics? I never asked him. We're not friends.

However, they don't like citing his harmful actions. And they're talking about that old cancel stuff a while ago for a sign. This is what I'm trying to tell you, man. This is why you limit government everywhere, locally, state-wise, city-wise, federally, because once you give these people power, they will never give it up. This guy is going to bring a fortune to downtown Broadway with this new bar. Where people are going to spend money, they're going to pay taxes, they're going to fill up hotel rooms, they're going to buy food. They're going to take Ubers, they're going to hire security companies, they're going to hire bands and what?

The Nashville Council rejects the biggest singer in the world this sign because of his quote Harmful action, dude. There is no power in yes, there's only power in No.

That's why you got to stop these people at every single turn.

Hey, leaving today again, it was memorial Day. I just want to thank you all out there, especially the families and those who've lost, lost people in combat, lost people overseas, in foreign theaters. I just want you to know that.

You know, when I think of you guys, I think of what happened to my uncle, and my uncle was lost. My grandmother was never the same, I never met him. I'm not going to claim to know how you feel because I don't, and I don't want to. That's a pain I don't want to feel.

But when my uncle was killed in Vietnam, my grandmother was never the same, ever. It was pre-Greg and it was post-Greg, and he was a real hero. So on this memorial day that just passed, I just want you to remember, Teach your kids to love this country. It's a great op-ed, actually in the Wall Street Journal this week about just that. Teach your kids to love this country and teach your kids about the heroes who let them do what they want to do.

Now that this country is free and is still the greatest constitutional republic in the history of man. Because of people like that. Thanks for tuning in, folks, I really appreciate it.
