Don't wait, all right Joseph, on this Monday, let's bring it back. Happy Monday man. That was rough, yeah.

What the hell happened there? Did you hear that? Joe's voice, like, cracked, he was like?

Sorry fellas, bro, take an IB approach. Sorry listeners, Holy Moses, what did you do this weekend?

Poor guy, I'm messing with you. We love Joe. Joe is, you know, after eight years, Joe's allowed a you know, a couple of? Scratchy voice opens, all right.

So we'll get it does happen, that's right. So, folks, this threat from central bank digital currencies we've been warning about for a while, it's now just spilled right over.

It's spilled right over. I want to combine that with another segment that I did last week and I covered this week on my weekend show and was covered on 60 Minutes. Artificial intelligence. Because the threat from central bank digital currency is growing. And nothing will be the same. That's why I titled the podcast is Today not Listen to me. Nothing will be the same.

Not your education, not your health care, not your job, not your livelihood, not your kids, not your phone. Nothing will be the same. If a central bank digital currency is launched as a is exploding right now and exploding right in front of our eyes. Imagine for a moment, combining the surveillance capabilities of a central bank digital currency. Where the government knows everywhere you're going, spending your money. With the predictive capabilities of a. I mean, what could possibly go wrong, it would be?

Can you imagine remember that Tom Cruise movie Minority report where the Precogs predict crime and you're arrested for crimes you were just thinking about doing?

Don't laugh. That could be your future minority report for political crimes. But instead of a action star guy like Tom Cruise starring in the movie, it's Jerry Nadler. Oh, oh, it's sure.

Imagine, I mean, I'm thinking of all the things combined artificial intelligence with central bank, digital currency. I got a ton of video for you showing you exactly what I mean, because we always bring the facts to back it up. Imagine there's a political rally going on and governments abusing and using AI for intelligence generation, which they're probably doing right now. I'd imagine they have all kinds of partnerships with these people. And there's a political rally going on, and AI generates a hit list of political people, political hit list at the rally. Who you think are big trouble? I can totally see it now.

Shutting down the central bank digital currency's ability to ATMS in the area. Your CBDC doesn't work at food locations, so you can't get water or food near the location. Oh, that'll never happen. Are you absolutely sure of that, given where we are right now? Because I'm not.

Let's get to some video to show you what I mean. Folks who is showing up by the way, who is going to show up at these political rallies, right? It's going to be people who are activists. And we're putting stuff out there on Twitter. Now, imagine the government monitoring your ability to pay for things, whether on Twitter or elsewhere, buying campaign signs, political donations, they have all of it.

Combine it with sicking an AI program on Twitter to pick apart who the MAGA supporters are going to be. You will be on a list, just like parents showed up on lists for showing up at school board meetings and were classified as domestic terrorists.

Imagine you showing up on a political list for being a Trump supporter? Elon revealed this in an interview with Tucker. You know, something we already suspected, but now we know for sure that. Not just did the government have access to Twitter, which most of it's public, but there's a portion of Twitter for you non-users out there. It's not public, it's called direct messages for the liberals listening.

It's called direct messages because they're direct, they just go from me to say, Gee, it's kind of like email. Elon basically just threw it out there in this interview with Tucker is going to air.

The government had access to this, too. You want them to be in control of AI, artificial intelligence, you sure about that? you imagine the intelligence files going to be on you? Check this out.

The degree to which various government agencies had effectively had full access to everything that was going on on Twitter blew my mind. I was not aware of that. Would that include people's DMS? Yes, okay.

So now the back end of Twitter, where you would, folks, a lot of people, DM, a lot of people, for a lot of reasons, thinking it was private. Now we find out the government had that information. I want to move on, I want to get to the Fu politics thing, but I don't want to let this go. Here. Here's 60 minutes this weekend.

60 minutes. The CEO of Google is being interviewed. They are producing a very powerful artificial intelligence program that the CEO admitted they don't fully understand. And his excuse was tragically comical because it could result in tragedy. But it's almost hilarious how little this guy seems to realize what he just said. They asked him, You know, Hey man, do you guys can you explain how this thing works?

No, not really. But we don't really know how the human mind works either. Yeah, but we don't try to recreate human minds. That's not what we're doing. Oh, they are.

That's not what we should be doing. The tree of knowledge.

Here he is talking about how AI is hallucinating, they call it hallucinating and artificial intelligence. In other words, you ask it a question, it just makes up the answer. Now again, we're talking about the CBDCs and the AI, right?

You combine these two things, and absolutely nothing will be the same. Imagine an AI hallucinating that conservatives are, in fact, an existential threat to humankind. We've been told they're Nazis, and it's reading about how Nazis wiped out millions of people, and it starts making up articles to justify the mass incarceration of Conservative.

Oh, that'll never happen. It's making up stuff now. Listen to yourself. Sundar Pichai walks a narrow line.

A few employees have quit, some believing that Google's AI rollout is too slow, others too fast. There are some serious flaws. There's a return of inflation.

James Maneka asked Bard about inflation. It wrote an instant essay in economics and recommended five books, but days later we checked none of the books is real. Bard fabricated the titles.

This very human trait error with confidence is called in the industry hallucination. Are you getting a lot of hallucinations? Yes, you know, which is expected. No one in the field has yet solved the hallucination problems.

All models do have this as an issue now. Someone wrote in the chat Oh, AI is just a magic eight ball. It only inputs what the program, and only outputs what programmers input. That is not true, that is not true.

How many times one? I don't know this person in the chat. I appreciate you being here. I'm not sure what your background is, I'm just telling you. The people who are programming this stuff are telling you they don't understand it. So if it's reflecting the will of the programmer and the program is telling you I don't understand what it's doing, how is that reflecting the will of the programmer?

If the program is designed to tell it what it's doing, the logic is sound, right? They're saying that, not me. I don't program artificial intelligence, I don't even know how to program it.

So what do I do when I don't know something? I go to people who do and they say, Well, we don't understand what's happening.

And it's hallucinating making things up. What if it starts making up that human beings are a virus that should be wiped out? Or conservatives should be framed for thought crimes, just like they made up all that information about inflation, that sounds like kind of an issue, right?

So you get this explosion in artificial intelligence, which will clearly be weaponized by the government. There'll be an intelligence file on anyone with a red MAGA hat out there, that is an absolute guarantee right now. Combine that with the control of a central bank digital currency, where the government's monitoring every single dollar spent in the economy. And the predictive capabilities of AI. To see what you might be doing next with that money.

And ladies and gentlemen, we got a real problem. Here's the president of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, admitting that. This thing is all about control, something we've been warning about in this show for eight years. Communists love control. It is the essence of a centrally organized economy. You run everything.

They're just making the case now. We told you, this is about control, it's not about efficiency, it's about seeing every single thing you do here. Listen to yourself.

They don't want to be controlled, they don't want to. Yeah, but you know what, you know what? Now we have in Europe this threshold above 1000 euros, you cannot pay cash.

If you do, you're on the gray market, so you take your risk, you get caught, you are fined, or you go in jail. But you know, the digital euro is going to have a limited amount of control, there will be control.

You're right, you're completely right. We are considering whether, for very small amounts, you know, anything that is around 300, 400 euros. We could have a mechanism where there is zero control, but that could be dangerous. The terrorist attacks on France back 10 years ago were entirely financed by those very small, anonymous credit cards that you can recharge in total anonymity.

Notice how they do this every freaking time. They always go to the terrorism example to scare you into giving up control of you. Remember, control is a zero-sum game, control is zero-sum.

They want you to give up control of your life zero-sum, meaning every ounce of control you give up someone else takes. It can't be split either. You control your money, you control where your kids go to school, and you control your health care. Or the government does. It's not a split decision.

You pick my doctor or I pick. we don't both pick. well, I pick this doctor. well, we pick another one. Well, who wins?

The government, Okay, then I didn't pick. That's not how control works.

They will be able to surveil you, they will be able to implement negative interest rates, they will be able to tax you at confiscatory rates. And there will be no way whatsoever, no way whatsoever for you to keep any of your money.

No way whatsoever they will tax it. You'll have to argue it later in court. You stand no chance. Here's a Fed official, Neil Kaskari, making this exact case.

That this is real trouble, man. That if they implement this central bank digital currency again, combine it with the predictive capabilities of AI and the hallucinations of AI. You're going to have a real problem. You're going to be able to buy a gun, buy tobacco, buy alcohol. The threat is very real. Here's Kaskari talking about these problems right here.

He mentions three things I've discussed in this show before. It's capability to surveil you, it's capability to instill negative interest rates, which are exactly as they sound, negative interest rates. I put my money in the bank to get positive interest rates, to get a return.

Exactly imagine negative interest rates. You put your money in a bank and they take money from you. Well, I would just take the money out of the bank. Not with a digital currency, you won't.

Take it where it only exists in the bank, on a computer, that's it.

Here, listen to this. I keep asking anybody, anybody at the Fed or outside of the Fed, to explain to me what problem this is solving. I can send anybody in this room $5 with Venmo right now. No, seriously. So what is it that a CBDC could do?

That Venmo can't do. And all I get is a bunch of hand-waving, I get a bunch. Well, maybe it's better for financial inclusion, maybe, it's better for cross-border remittances, maybe.

Is there any evidence that it is? And they say, Well, what about China? China is doing it well, I can see why China would do it. If they want to monitor every one of your transactions, you could do that with a central bank digital currency.

You can't do that with VenMO. If you want to impose negative interest rates, you could do that with a central bank digital currency. You can't do that with VenMO. And if you want to directly tax customer accounts, you could do that with a central bank digital currency. You can't do that with VenMo.

So I get why China would be interested, why would the American people be for that? Yeah, no kidding.

Someone in the chat said, You know, what about solutions? Yeah, OK, this is the warning, folks, listen, I'm just one guy you got to call your lawmaker.

You have lawmakers who are a constitutional republic for a reason. You should be calling your lawmakers and notifying them today. Your senators and your congressmen. They will never have your support again if they support this CBDC disaster. Why do you think I'm talking about this? That's the solution.

Stop it. We can now use cash. We don't have the government seeing everything we do. The government is the son of the government's freaking business, which you buy and spend your money on. You don't owe the government anything.

You owe the government, you know, legally, whatever taxes you're required to pay, you don't have to pay extra.

Negative interest rates are a big deal. Negative interest rates are a huge, enormous problem, an enormous problem. It's the government's way, it's the government's way of making sure that they can, they can monetize the debt. They tried it in Japan and what happened?

They wound up out of an exploding safe business because people took their money out of the bank and put it in a safe. It's not with CBDC, that's not going to happen, folks. The essence of these communists, the essence of their ideology, is control. They always talk about the control. Whether it's of your health care, of your kids, of the educational system, control of your money.

It's the entire thing. But as I've said to you often, we are here to fight back. There are no easy answers. One of the criticisms fairly enough I get of the show is, you know, it seems sometimes really negative.

It's not, it's, that's, that's, that's a worldview. What?

See, I'm a happy. Yeah, I am. I'm a happy boy. I get this a lot. I got to tell you, it gets under my skin.

I'm a happy warrior. I mean, that I get it like it doesn't sound, it doesn't sound that way a lot. But I genuinely believe that. We were put here to fight back against evil forces trying to implement things that are at.

They're on the opposite end, where the counterbalance to these collectivists among us, the fight is what matters. It's everything, and that's why I keep talking about things like a few politics and the new rules.

That is our very. That's the essence of what we're doing here. The fight is the reason for being.

I want to show you this tweet by James Lindsay's at Conceptual James on Twitter, and I'll show you what I mean. Because I think there's some among us to think, why do we keep having to fight the same fights over again? I mean, it was obvious communism is a failure, it isn't to some people.

James writes on Twitter Resisting communism isn't a part time endeavor. it's forever the same corruption that informs communism is taught about in Genesis three and four. It's humanity's perpetual war.

There it is, right there. Every generation must win it again. We are where we are now because we thought we could stop fighting. He's right.

He's right. The end of history, it's been spoken about often. After the Cold War ended and we defeated the Soviet Union, the Berlin wall fell. That's not the way any of this is going to work.

I want to go into this piece next by Kurt Schlichter. That is just amazing. I mean, it sums up what we should be doing with fu politics. So well, it's a piece I sent out this morning.

And again, people who were off weren't even working today responded back to me and said, This is good stuff. Let me get to this first. You've got to sleep, good folks, especially with all this going on. Be a happy warrior. You need some sleep.

Told you it's pretty awesome.

The essence of communism is control. It is a generational fight. The bad news is it's never going to stop. We are always going to be fighting this always, but you are here for the fight. I believe that's your mission.

There's a second creation out there and you're going to be filling out some kind of a resume, it's not going to be paperwork, it ain't going to be on a computer. But you're going to be standing there in front of the creator, and he's going to be asking you what you did, and what you did should be countering what the bad guys did. I said, it's time now for Fu politics, because that's what the left has been doing to us for a long time. Kurt Schlichter summed it up in this great piece in Town Hall.

Do not fall for the normalcy presumption nothing is normal anymore, nothing is normal anymore, ladies and gentlemen. How many more examples do we need? We got Bud Light, a typically red-blooded American company Anheuser-Busch, endorsing trans activism.

We got a da up in New York twinkies. Alvin Bragg, who thinks it's a good idea to try to indict and try to prosecute a former president over a clearly ridiculous made-up charge? He just pulled out of his rump.

You've got all of this going on, you've got prosecutors around the country letting criminals run free while we're all preyed upon, he says. Understand what's changed and stop pretending it hasn't, he said. Stop pretending this hasn't changed, because you really wish everything was normal.

And you think, if you just shut your eyes and pretend hard enough, it'll all be normal again, it will not be normal.

Soros found a loophole prosecutorial professionalism that meant we trusted prosecutors with expansive powers. Well, we need to fix that. In every red state, there are blue cities where this stuff happens, time to reign these communities in. He's got five steps that can fix this out-of-control blue cities problem. Where prosecutors like Twinkies are letting people get killed and criminals roam the streets, while political prosecutions run unstopped and unabated.

I want to go through them because they're important. Read the piece. It's in the newsletter today Bongino.com Slash newsletter.

He says number one invest red state governors with the power to remove DAS who refuse to do their job.

Yes, sir, yes, sir. You don't want to prosecute criminals. Get them out bye now.

See you later, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. To legislators in red states, you should be pushing for this today. By the way, to these legislators, we shouldn't be investing the governors with these powers immediately. DESantis did it down here in Florida.

It needs to go countrywide. You keep pretending this is normal. Well, the people selected them, the people didn't select them to be tyrants, and if they did select them to be tyrants, then we're going to fight tyranny.

Number two, pass broad laws that expand and protect the right to self-defense, like presuming it exists where mobs exist, or when the citizen is trapped in the vehicle. Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a lawyer, but I love this idea. There should be a built in one. You are presumed innocent under a constitutional system, but to bring charges in a case where you are trapped in your vehicle or being assaulted by a mob. There has to be some standards set here. Stand your ground type laws.

There's got to be some presumption built in where charges aren't brought here. This is insane. Have you seen this? these mobs running around? Have you seen these mobs of kids?

Have you driven down here in Florida or down here in Florida, too? It's not just up in New York, it's been in New York for a while. But you've got this band of two 300 kids on motorcycles and quads, they just surround cars and terrorize these people.

And you're just supposed to take it. You got people getting caught in riots in New York City, dragged out of their cars, and you're supposed to take it. Three, this is important. Create procedural protections, like the threshold motions to dismiss, already available in some states. That force prosecutors to present actual evidence that could potentially be believed beyond a reasonable doubt before the prosecutor can proceed to trial where there's a claim of self-defense.

Good, put these prosecutors in there, you need to present some actual evidence.

Create penalties and incentives to force DAS back to their proper role. Like forcing city and county governments to pay not only attorney's fees, but damages to citizens. Who successfully self-defense, that's right, you want to go after someone who's engaged in an act of self-defense to keep them and their families alive. Yeah, you can pay the attorney fees when it doesn't work out for you. And finally, number five.

Expand pardon powers for red governors Red state governors. Too many states force them into complicated administrative proceedings before they can issue pardons. And the people can pass judgment on the red state governor's use of power at the ballot box. Get these people out, get them out. You want to have a bunch of crazy, tyrannical blue cities where they have violated their constitutional oaths to the city, the state and the federal government?

Then get rid of these people, get them out and expand their pardon powers and make it you want to get, you want to keep doing this, we'll pardon them.

Folks, you're going to get more chaos. if you don't do this, you're going to get more chaos. If we keep playing as if everything's normal, because it is not, it is not normal. Here's another article in my newsletter today. I strongly encourage you to read by Josh Hammer.

The only way out is through folks, the only way out is through. He talks about the success of the Bud Light boycott, Keep it up, Do not let up.

Do not let up, you have an opportunity here to change the course of corporate history moving forward. There is a lesson being sent right now do not let up, keep up the heat until you get an adequate apology. And a complete 180 from this company. That took its money from loyal, patriotic Americans, only to turn around and crap on them later.

You know, at this point, I'm done with them for good. I'm sorry Dan, I am done, I'm done too.

There's lots of other people out there. I was never a big bud light drinker anyway, I prefer some other forms of alcoholic beverages. If you know what I mean, oh yeah, but yeah, I agree with Joe.

I'm not sure Bud Light's ever going to get a lot of these people back, but he talks about these three things. Josh Hammer The Bud Light boycott the expulsion of the two Tennessee lawmakers. Keep it up, keep it up. We should be doing this.

You know, I was kind of hard on them too, but it was a good move expelling them. I tweeted that out when it happened, expel them and don't look back.

He also talks about the Fifth Circuit judge, James Ho, who started this trend here, where he said, You know what, you come from? One of these free speech hating law schools. Yale or Stanford, or whatever it may be, where they had these little incidents of insurrections there when speakers showed up. You knock yourself out, but I'm not hiring any of you as clerks.

Only way out is through. He leaves it with this quote at the end from Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamb, who argued in a 2020 Newsweek op-ed. He said When it comes to the most important things in life, you should toss civility aside and fight for what's right with everything you have.

New rules, folks. We're engaged in political trench warfare right now. The little things that used to bother you about the guy next to you in the trench, you've got to leave those for another day. The guy drank too much when he was home, whatever it may be, the guy was lazy when he was home. Right now you're fighting an enemy in front of you, a political opponent, and you just tell this guy, Hey, you just need to aim that way because they're aiming at you this way.

That's how these political fights. Sadly, that's where we are, the new rules. You can worry about the petty stuff later, but we got to focus on the fight in front of us right now.

I'm going to show you this video in a second. It's more of this chaos that happened in Chicago, because this is the stuff we're fighting. Let's not presume any of this is normal, let's not presume any of the old tactics. Cutesy time stuff is going to matter anymore, it won't.

There's a story out there this morning in Playbook. Dianne Feinstein. They're trying to remove her from this committee. That would basically confirm judges, be a key role in confirming judges for Biden. Feinstein's out. She's a Senate Democrat from California.

Feinstein's out, she's got shingles. Some, you know, wish her the best, on which, you know, health problems on anyway. She's very old as well, so it's obviously going to have more complications on her. But they're saying, Oh yeah, we're going to need the Republicans to replace her so we can get Biden's nominees to.

No, no, why is any Republican even considering this? No new rules, baby? No, we're not helping them at all.

We're not helping them even a little. What are you expecting? Civility? No, no, they're not going to give you civility back.

Let me get to my next sponsor. I want to show you this video. I want to show you a hilariously stupid article from the New York Times, too. Just embarrassing folks. Mypatriotsupply.com friends. It's hard to trust anything anymore.

Com Thanks mypatriotsupply. We can't take any more of this, folks, we've got to plow through and we have to stop pretending. As Schlichter says, that this is some kind of normal political environment where the old rules apply, it is not.

It is not, we are living in chaos, and the chaos is part of the plan. It's the coin of the realm of the communist leftists. That is exactly what they want. Look at this video out of Chicago.

Total train wreck.

This happened this weekend, kids jumping all over the place. This is what they do now. Because of social media, it's made it easier for large groups of people, whether on bikes, whether on quads, to show up. Whatever it may be and just cause absolute chaos. This is the kind of stuff that gets reined in when you take law and order seriously, and that's not happening in these cities.

You are literally in danger and then combine it with people like twinkies who? The minute you defend yourself like that poor bodega owner in New York, you're going to find yourself in handcuffs and you got a witch's brew, man. But the left's getting nervous. I'm going to tell you why, I'm going to take a turn on an optimistic note here.

Because things are changing, Republicans are starting to realize that the essence of conservatism is not just arguing for tax cuts. Folks, I love tax cuts. I've said it. Often, the ability to control your own money matters.

But we are starting to recognize the cultural fights in front of us and the cultural fights. We're starting to collect W's, There have been a ton of W's collected around the country, in Florida and other states as well, in the culture wars against CRT. And they're starting to freak out.

Sexual identity politics. I want you to see what. The New York Times Here's how the New York Times is framing this whole thing. How a campaign against transgender rights mobilized conservatives. Here's how they're framing it now. Keep in mind, they're framing it as conservatives picked this fight after they were, quote defeated on same-sex marriage.

The religious right went searching for an issue that would re-energize supporters and donors. The campaign that followed has stunned political leaders across the spectrum. Now, here's what's going on here. The New York Times and other lefty outlets are freaking out that we are starting to collect W's on the sexual identity politics nonsense, right? People don't want it.

They don't want a dude shaking his junk in front of the face of a nine-year-old telling us, this is somehow liberation, freedom and prosperity. It's not.

And they realize they're losing. This is the Republican pounce video The Republicans pounce a nonsense narrative that they always push on us. They're making it out like they're not the ones trying to advance this crazy football forward, that it's us trying to do it.

That it's us trying to, you know, pick a fight with them, they're the ones picking this fight and constantly moving the football.

Oh, of course.

Oh, folks, he said it right. The reason they threw religion in that article, too, is because religion is a source of objective truth, and they hate that, they hate that.

I got a lot to get to. We're going to go in a little bit of a different direction, too. I don't know if you guys like these kind of lifestyle stories, but I'm going to try them because I like them. And once in a blue moon, I'm going to throw it out there. You know, I'm a nut about health and fitness.

So because I'm always sitting there and figuring out new ways to get life hack, you know?

I had to lose a little bit of weight because I was getting really big. I was not really fat but big. I couldn't even fit in some of the suits I had anymore. I was lifting heavy and I thought I got to lose some weight.

So I wound up losing 30 pounds and a lot of people asked me how I did it. It really wasn't that hard. The hard part is stabilizing it. I'm going to talk about that a little later, too.

I want to get to this first. This morning, I was up early, I was watching Fox and Friends first.

And I just want to throw this in and mention it quickly, you know, I wanted to be a doctor. And they have the Hippocratic oath, you know, do no harm, folks. What happened to that? The doctor was talking about how he was a witness to unvaccinated patients getting substandard care in hospitals. Because some of his own colleagues just, I guess, didn't like the fact that you didn't want to take the vaccine. Folks, that's freaking bananas.

We treat pedophiles, sex abusers, rapists, murderers, and outside of the moral stuff, we teach people. We treat people in medicine who make terrible decisions about their health, too, people who smoke, people who do drugs, people who drink voluminous amounts of alcohol. We don't kick them out and we don't say, Hey, you made some terrible life decisions health-wise, so you're finished.

You know what happened to medicine? We're now mutilating kids for no harm, we're now ignoring healthcare. For people who made the turns out to be smart decision, in many cases, not to get vaccinated. Because you just don't like their political ideas, we're letting these value judgments of your values seep into medicine.

You know, I just mention it quickly, because.

Again, with the invention of AI and the explosive growth of its integration into our economy.

How long before these value judgments are passed off to a computer?

Programmers input a set of values, and these things hallucinate later. How long before you don't get the vaccine and you don't get an antibiotic prescription either?

A lot to worry about there, folks, stay on top of that. We're starting to collect wins in the culture wars, folks, we are starting to collect wins. Getting back to what I was talking about before, when it's driving the left nuts, they never saw this coming.

They really believed they had a winner in this idea. That they could stick a drag queen in front of a nine-year-old and shake their junk in the kid's face. And that Americans would eventually comply. They never expected the backlash and now they're panicking about it, but they're not going to give up. They practice Fu politics, too, and Fu politics to them means doubling down now. Buttigieg, Pete Buttigieg.

One of the top-level I.

Q Members of Biden's Cabinet. Remember when he started talking about racist roads and bridges and all that crap? And he got, I mean, just grilled? Everybody openly mocked him. You think that's going to stop him?

Buttigieg is doubling down. He was on with Reverend Al and now he's doubling down on the racist road stuff. But he leaves out a key part. I don't even think Reverend Al was digging this one here. Check this out. We've got a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities.

In America, we lose about 40,000 people every year, it's a level that's comparable to gun violence, and we see a lot of racial disparities. Black and Brown Americans, tribal citizens and rural residents are much more likely to lose their lives. Whether it's in a car or as a pedestrian being hit by a car, there are a lot of reasons related to discrimination.

But there are ways that roads are designed and built. Who has access to a safe street design that's got crosswalks and good lighting, who doesn't have that access? That can drive disparities, and we have a responsibility to act on that.

I mean, there is some evidence, Joe, that minority, largely minority communities. There are some higher incidences of traffic accidents, fatalities, people getting hit by cars. Again, these are areas run by people like Buttigieg, not Republicans. They have terrible lighting.

You cannot win. They win their political seats based on endless BS blaming Republicans. They get in charge, everything goes bad crime, traffic, fatalities.

Then they blame the racist roads for it, even though it's their people in charge. It's systemic racism. You run the system, you freaking idiot.

Like I said, they will double down these idiots. That's why it's time for F.U politics in return. What are you waiting for them to see the light?

I got a segment coming up I just invented for today, too, you know what it's called, Joe? I couldn't think of a way to tie this segment together. Yeah, so I didn't try.

I just called it two dummies. I'll give you a hint, one of one of them, you already know, who's that?

BiDEN I mean, it's pretty obvious. Two dummies, you scared me for a second. Yeah, yeah.

Two dummies, yeah, one of them's Joe Biden, Joe Biden humiliating us again overseas. Don't miss it all, right? Last sponsor folks appreciate your patience.

They love to talk to you to these companies and we really appreciate you being here. OmahA Steaks Hey, spring's in the air and can only mean one thing spring. Grilling.

It's fantastic, all right, let's get to this segment. I called today two dummies because I love exposing liberal idiots for a reason. By the way, you're never going to know what you're fighting if you don't see it up close and personal sometimes.

Here's Jamal Bowman. This guy is rapidly evolving as one of the dumbest members of Congress. Now it's going to be really hard to get past AOC and just pure stupidity, fraudulent stuff. I'd say Ro Khanna is probably the fakest.

Stupidity-wise, it's AOC, and Cori Bush is definitely creeping up there, too. I mean, Kinzinger is already gone, so we don't have to worry about that. But this guy is moving fast, man, he's making real moves. It's Jamal Bowman, a guy who just lost the guy we played a couple weeks ago, sitting there, screaming like a lunatic.

Tom, Remember Tom Massey? Good Republican congressman stops to talk to him about guns, like out of respect, stops to talk to him, and he starts screaming.

Like an absolute lunatic, crazy person, here's Jamal Bowman who's defending the Chinese Communist Party. That has the, by the way, the parent company, the parent company.

Owns portions of TikTok, the bytedance they are. There's a Chinese Communist Party connected company, that's a fact. And he's like, Uh, this is the same guy who promoted the Peepee hoax. He needs evidence, though.

He didn't need evidence for the Peepee hoax, he just needs evidence to say that the Chinese Communist Party is using TikTok to spy on him. They own it, you idiot.

Stimpy you idiot. Here. Check this out on TikTok. You have been outspoken against a ban. Is there anything that you could learn about, what the Chinese have access to, what they're doing with it that would prompt you to support a ban? Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen any evidence of Chinese espionage.

The intel, or anything, yeah, I haven't seen. There hasn't been like a top secret congressional briefing on what China is doing with TikTok. We've never had that. At the same time, Facebook in real time ignored Russian intelligence interference. In our 2016 elections like that happened.

That's a fact. Holy Moses Is this guy stupid? So, just to be clear, Facebook $100,000 in ads on Facebook bought by these alleged crazed Russian colluders, right? That's grounds for him to what?

What is he suggesting? Get rid of Facebook. The Chinese Communist Party owns the freaking app.

A couple of people in the live chat were arguing, by the way, good, good, this is good, they said. Dan Dumbest, come on.

Hank Johnson Guam I know, I know.

I know it's going to sound crazy. You may get mad at me in the chat, please don't, because I mean it. I'm not saying it for effect or to spin your wheels. I really believe AOC's dumber.

I really do, I really believe AOC's dumber. I know that sounds crazy, but in a pure IQ, if they took a test, I bet AOC scores worse.

Right, right, he's like, it's stunning how stupid they are.

Here's Joe Biden's supercut. We love supercuts. They always come out on Monday about a minute 30, but worth your time. You got to watch this on rumble.

Well, if you're in a live chat, you're watching it now, but if you're listening on Apple or Spotify after it comes out, watch this. On rumble, you can queue ahead to like the 47-minute mark, whatever it may be, about a minute, 30 seconds. Hat tip Tom Elliott, one of our good friends over at Grabe, and he puts these together on Monday.

Biden just got back from overseas, totally humiliated us in Ireland again. I don't want to come home. Kept screwing stuff up, looked around, was confused, had people vectoring him around again because he never knows what he's doing. BiDeN Here's a supercut of Biden humiliating us.

Where here? No. On overseas trips. Just in the two-plus years he's been president, take a look.

We need someone to take office this time around, who on day one, can stand on the world stage, command the respect of world leaders from Putin to our allies.

And there was a moment that caught people's attention in which he was trying to talk about Syria and specific policy in Syria. Take a listen. We could work together with Russia, for example.

In Libya, we should be open to that where we can save the lives of people in, for example, in Libya, Libya or Syria. Does he know?

You are the most significant warrior for peace, I can admit, you're the famous African-American baseball player in America.

We got the telephone, he suggested we call the leader of Switzerland, Switzerland. My goodness, I'm getting really anxious here about expanding NATO.

Sweden.

To keep alive the truth and honor of the Holocaust, horror of the Holocaust. It's just it's absolutely awful, and again, there's no upside.

We'll always honor the bravery and selfishness, selflessness of the and sacrifices of the Americans who served, including my son, Major Beau Biden. You bring up Joe Biden, he's in Cambodia, not Colombia. I want to thank the Prime Minister for Colombia's leadership as ASEAN chair and for hosting all of us. Folks. You got to understand this goes on, for what, Joe?

You cut like a minute out of it, you had to, because, you know, this is about a three-minute cut, right? We only put a minute and 38 seconds. It goes on and on and on. I want to thank the citizens of Colombia.

Dude, you're in Cambodia, it's a totally different place, it's not even close to the same place you're not in. That's not where you are, that's not where you are.

Here's a quick update before I get to my lifestyle story, which, again, you may hate, let me know in the live chat. By the way, you know, I love having you all here. I'm thoroughly enjoying this. This is why I keep doing it.

And I'm sorry for those of you who are listening a little bit later on Apple and Spotify. We probably should have done some better prep work. That's not on them, the crew, that's on me. It was my call. I just really enjoy the live chat.

The problem is we were recording earlier. That's why, you know, Joe does a lot of post-production work to make it sound crisp and clean. So you guys can hear a good, high-quality audio product. So it takes a little bit of time after we're done with the live chat at noon, so that's why if you're listening on Apple and Spotify, thank you. I appreciate your loyalty.

But we really enjoy the live stuff. I think it just makes for a better product. So I probably, what's that, what's..?

Oh, he always says that he's like, when you tell him the link, you're like the worst promoter ever. Rumble.com Slash Bongino can always come here at 11 o'clock a..m. eastern time every day.

And listen, here, we really appreciate it, but I deeply appreciate your loyalty. thank you so much for understanding. I think it's just....

It's just a better product. The energy is different. I like interacting with people, it gives it more of a kind of community feel. You've made my life great.

And I just like.

I really enjoy it, it means a lot to me. So just one update on the story I told you about again, you know, we called it.

It's not a pat on the back. A lot of other people called it, too. It certainly wasn't hard to decipher. I told you, with the Chinese spy balloon story, it was not a story.

It's a story because it's not a story that the Chinese have been dog walking us for a long time and spying on us. While Biden sits around with his thumb up, you get it doing nothing. The hill.

April 14th Leaked documents show officials were aware of additional Chinese spy balloons, says Report. Again, you listen to the show and other good conservative commentators.

You know, none of this is news, folks. So I love this website. It's a pretty cool one t nation. I'm obsessed with working out.

I'd like to start incorporating some more of these stories. If you like them, you like them. If you don't, let me know, the show's for you, of course. But I was, I had to lose some weight.

I was up to 235.

And I always liked being the biggest guy in the room, which I'm 6'1".

235 and I enjoyed it. I always had this idea, especially growing up in the fight game. That, you know, it's good to chase the car like a dog, but what happens when the car stops right? You can be leaning fast and all that, and that's terrific, but what actually happens after you catch up to the car? It's good to be the biggest dog, and not necessarily the fastest dog. The problem is, I'm getting old.

My joints were taking a beating, it just didn't look that great anymore. I mean, my face was getting round, I got an ugly enough face. I don't need any help making it uglier, you know?

So I leaned out. I lost 30 pounds and I'm telling you I'm not trying to sound like a jerk. It just really wasn't that hard, I did it slow, I wasn't on some crazy diet, rice, cakes or whatever.

No, no, no, no, that's crap. I basically cut back my calories and I switched to really fibrous vegetables and lean meats. And then when I ate fat, I tried to eat salmon and rib-eyes and stuff, generally healthy fats that I knew I could work with. So I lost weight quick, the problem wasn't losing the weight.

The problem I find people have, especially because I did it gradually, is once you get to a weight you like, like, I'm now at 205 and I'm comfortable. Is. Maintaining it can be tough, so you're going to have to find some maintenance level of calories. You can do it online, it's really simple.

They have these calorie counters you put in your level of activity and it'll tell you how many calories to not gain or lose weight you need. That's not hard, 2,500 calories, whatever it may be, but it's not just the calories.

You got to.

This article's called Ditch Your Diet Stay Ripped. How to Come off a Diet, Not Get fat. That's the problem. People lose weight, but they come off a diet and the weight they put back on is typically fat.

So it says how to fight the fat rebound. It's really simple. I throw this in there precisely because the advice is not complicated. It's not like, go to the store, buy six pounds of cream cheese, mix it with this special enzyme. It's none of that.

Find your maintenance calorie levels and quote eat meals with a lower glycemic load. Well, what does that mean? Sound like something your doctor told you? Eat green vegetables, low glycemic carbs, in other words, healthy carbohydrates, sweet potatoes, whatever and stick to a well-balanced diet.

It'll optimize the hormonal cascade following a meal, and it'll reduce your cravings so that you're satisfied longer. Working with your body, and not against it, is going to make staying on track a breeze rather than a chore. Yes, I have maintained that weight, I lost a little bit of weight recently because of the surgery, but now that I'm back, I have maintained the weight after. I lost it. By just incorporating tons of salads.

It is almost impossible to overeat that overeat calorie-wise, it's impossible if you've ever eaten Joe. Like a full mixed green salad with peppers and olives and grilled chicken, how much of that can you possibly eat? You eat two oreos.

It's the equivalent of the whole bowl. If you shop in the perimeter of the supermarket dairy and vegetables, it is almost impossible to overeat. As the article says, Ditch your diet, Stay ripped. It goes into all the how the metabolism works and how these starvation diets don't work.

It's in the newsletter today at Mungino.

Com Slash newsletter It's worth your time. Hey, just one quick wrap-up here. The Florida miracle continues. I live down here.

My wife and I, we keep saying, Oh man, the real estate market's going to crash, we're going to scoop up a bunch of houses. It's not the way it works, man. Florida just keeps motoring along, Florida's going to ban Covid masks and vaccine mandates.

Bill makes progress in the House. Nice, we'll take that.

Yahoo Finance, which I'm seeing up close and personal, is Florida recession-proof? Pandemic, migration and a pro-business climate may have made the state immune. I'm not sure they're immune, but they're as close to immune as you're going to get. NEW YORK Post exodus continues as more than 10,000 New Yorkers have moved to Florida in 2023..

It just keeps coming, folks. By the way, I told you about Nandini, you know, the Soros-funded.

Anti-free speech activist, You know, she supports child predators, of course, and because she does that, she wrote this piece supporting them. It's covered in this post-millennial article. I'm going to put up here in a second. We want to make sure everybody who works with Nandini understands what they're dealing with, right?

Because we don't care, she's made us very wealthy. Nandini, she could just actually follow public disclosures and tell you that herself. But she needs to grift off dumbass liberals who keep giving her money to sit in her mama's basement eating Ben Jerry's ice cream with her three cats. So this weekend, she apparently got tired of me exposing her for the supporter of child predators that she is.

So she blocked me and in an effort, this is like, I love this, this is like Kindergarten 101. why'd you block him? someone asked.

Because I got bored, he needs new material. You mean, you got wrecked, you mean, you got wrecked over and over. So I'm declaring victory, ultimate victory over the cat lady.

Thank you to someone who sent me this thing crazy cat lady thing a while ago to a listener. There you go. Victory is now complete and assured. Hey, if you want to read the article, by the way, be in the newsletter. Be a real shame if you went to Nandini's Twitter feed.

She's at Nandoodles and attached this article to just about every post. Be a real shame. If you did that, I'm not recommending you do that.

Antifa-loving activist Nandini Jami argued for milder punishments for convicted sex offenders post-millennial. Be in the newsletter, Be a real shame again. If you guys posted that, be a real shame. Definitely don't do that. Thanks for tuning in folks.
