Loaded show for you today. Something did change my calculus from yesterday, though I have to tell you, I did not expect McCarthy to drop out. Why? Well, because I'm not stupid.
And McCarthy said A thousand times, I will fight to the death, to the death short lived. Well, he changed his mind fast about that. One changes the calculus on things. But folks, I'm going to, I promise you at the end of today's show, this is all going to make sense.
There's some good stuff, there's some bad stuff, and there's some potentially really ugly stuff if you don't get involved right away. Folks. Almost all Americans are going to owe taxes for this year or from previous years. Unless, of course, you're the son of a president or the wife of an ex-president.

It's showtime, brother. Oh, is it ever? By the way, Joe's got his own little thing going on, rumble. I'll send that out on my social media. What do you call it again?
It's pro Joe one, p-r-o-j, pro Joe one. Check him out. He's got his own little thing going, Joe's doing his own.
He's going off on his own. Big celebrity now, big celebrity. I'll send it out on my social media later so you can check that out. I love it.
All my folks are branching out. Guy, you got to do your own thing, do your Star Wars or something, or Dungeons and Dragons, do your own rumble. Yeah, it's true.
Yeah, at least he's honest. Guy says, You see me talk, all right? So let's get to this, ladies and gentlemen, first before we go to this. Because again, the whole cancer thing changed my life. It really did.
When you get this thing where you think you could die and stuff, and then you don't, you start thinking about things differently. I started to reevaluate my whole life, I started to say to myself, and no, it's not a philosophy course today. But a lot of the people I thought were my friends turned out to be bullshit artists. A lot of people, honestly I thought were bullshit artists, turned out to be my friends. I mean, loyal friends.
It's like I just mistook the show for the action. I learned to just dictate how I'm going to do things by, like, a spreadsheet going forward. How much is this guy bullshitted me and how much has he told me the truth? I realized that if you put your faith in politicians on Capitol Hill, you're getting the double barrel, you're going to get screwed.
I'm going to encourage you when you go through this show today. Please, if your response to anything I'm going to say is, but this, Congressman said again, just stop it.
I love you, I don't give a shit, I'm not interested, I just want to be honest with everyone up front. I don't give a shit that you think this congressman's a hero or none of them are heroes.
I can't say this enough because a lot of the fights happening right now are. But this guy and that guy, I don't care. I am going to give you a dispassionate evaluation because they all hate you and I love you. And I mean that I've met a lot of these people and they're all full of shit. There are no heroes here.
You're idolized in any one of these people, and you believe everything they said. I could give you a thousand examples of people reaching out to me today. Oh, you got this guy wrong or that guy wrong. The same exact people told me. That guy was full of shit. Three, four months ago. I mean, I could show you the emails. If I was a real asshole, I'm dead serious.
Just the facts here, let's get a couple of things out of the way. I didn't anticipate McCarthy dropping out yesterday. Why? Because he said he wouldn't.
He said he was going to stick out this thing to the end. That changes a lot and you have to be willing to lift and shift. If you're not, get the hell out of this business. If you're one of these guys, you know, I was watching a video today on this video channel. This doctor who's like the biggest arrogant guy ever. He had to admit he was wrong about collagen peptides. And I was kind of impressed because this guy's the most cocky dude on earth.
I did not anticipate McCarthy dropping out of this thing last night at 730 when he gave his speech. This guy is the most egomaniacal. I mean, you want to talk about an insider wheel and dealer swamp rat who would like trade away his future generations for power? McCarthy's one of those guys. It says to me. He just doesn't have the votes going forward. And a lot of people who supported him in this motion to vacate tracking me here.
This is what really happened. Probably told him, because there's no way he did this voluntarily. They probably told him. Listen, brother, it's over, everybody in the chat, you got what I'm saying.
McCarthy did not drop out because he wanted to. McCarthy dropped out. Because there's absolutely zero doubt in my mind that probably 10 to 15 more congressmen other than the eight who voted against him on the Republican side. That is that they came up to him and said, Listen, we can't do this anymore. You don't have a consensus going forward.
We're going to have to pick someone else and you're going to have to get behind them. Everyone needs to understand that. Because, again, the McCarthy lovers I'm not, and the Gates lovers I'm not interested. I don't care. the McCarthy lovers go. Oh man, it's just so principled.
He refused to work with the Democrats. Yeah, OK, whatever McCarthy went for the Democrats, he asked the Democrats for help.
The Democrats said.
I don't understand like, we're supposed to again. If this guy's your idol, you're wrong. If Gates is your idol, too, you're still wrong. There's no heroes in this thing, there's only our party, ours. We built it.
We don't worship, oh, oh, oh oh, we don't do that here. They want to worship Obama and their oatmeal God, let them do it. These guys are tools, they are hammers for us.
Get it, McCarthy is out because McCarthy lost probably 10 to 15 more. Who said it's over, McCarthy out changes the whole calculus here. Now there are two goals going forward and only two goals.
If we are conservatives and we're not kissing anybody's ass, which we're not doing, because I ain't doing it. And if you're in my army here, you shouldn't be doing it either, because we're taking over now.
Number one, goal, number one. We can get a more conservative speaker. There's an opportunity here, and it's a real one. Is he going to be the Conservative Speaker? Are we going to get someone, you know in the model of a, you know, let's say, you know, a Massey combined with a Jordan on the Pfizer stuff, combined with a Roy on other stuff, combined with a Gates on the presentation stuff.
Probably not, probably not. Everyone's got their strengths and weaknesses. However, we will probably get someone more conservative than McCarthy. If we do some things, I'm going to get to. And the we means the Bongino Army here.
There's option two as well. Maybe we don't get a more conservative speaker, maybe we get a guy like Scalise who's only moderately more conservative than McCarthy. But if we get a moderate speaker who's willing to do conservative stuff, or we vacate him or hers next, we're still in better shape, right? Because our goal is not to kiss anybody's ass, correct?
What's our goal? Anybody know? Take a guess, but I just said it a thousand times. Our goal is to move the Conservative football forward.
I don't care who the quarterback is, I care that the ball goes downfield and is caught by a receiver. That's all I care about. I don't give a shit if it's Professor X. All I care about is the ball goes down the conservative field.
So if we can get a conservative quarterback, great if we get a moderate quarterback who's still going to throw the football down the field. Great, that's the good. I said, I'd give you the good, the bad and the potentially ugly.
Here's the bad and the potentially very ugly. I'm hearing some traffic now that some people in the moderate middle, whatever you want to call them sellouts, rhinos, establishmentarians. I don't care what you call them, it's your call, call them swampies, whatever. They are. So furious at Gates and the other congressman who voted out, basically McCarthy and vacated the chair.
I'm hearing that there's a potential deal on the table, which you better squash right away. How can I squash it? Because you're going to call or email your congressman today, that's your job. I've already done my part on this.
I can only do it once you got to do it, too. I'm hearing there's a potential deal on the table. Because, remember, folks, to elect the speaker, you don't have to get the most votes, you have to get a majority of the people in the chamber. The Democrats vote like robots.
They have 208.
You're going to need, depending on how many people show up, between 217 and probably 218. You're saying to yourself right now, 208. So the Democrats could get 10 Republicans and elect who they want. Yes, well, oh yeah.
Oh, yeah, you're going to chat, you haven't heard this now? I said, I'd give you the good, the bad, potentially ugly, the good. We could get a Conservative speaker.
The bad we could get a moderate speaker, we'll push them to do conservative stuff, the potentially ugly we could have Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. But we run the house. Yep.
This is what I warned you about yesterday. This is why, although McCarthy not running, I think yesterday could turn into a net positive, it could also turn into a disaster. And anybody telling you otherwise is lying to you. Now. I got to be candid with you on this.
The chances of this are very slim. That 10 Republicans, I mean, you would have to be in a seriously Biden-leaning district and have to basically forfeit your entire political career to do this. My issue is there are some Republicans that are so effed up and remember my golden rule most Republicans are really Democrats, but no Democrats are really Republicans. There are some Republicans so annoyed and so willing to pull, like a Larry Hogan type move, you know, the Maryland guy, that I wouldn't be stunned.
If they cobbled together five or six, I don't think they'll get 10 or even nine. But again, anyone telling you that's not a possibility and it's not being discussed, I'm telling you categorically, is lying to you. That is a small percentage thing, but it's out there and it's my job to warn you.
Just the facts here today. I'm not emotionally involved in this because I don't give a damn about the players, I only care about the country. So many people come at me. Oh, this guy felt great. OK, keep telling yourself that, sure.
Let's address a couple other things. Is Trump going to become the speaker? No, forget that. Listen, I heard a couple of things yesterday.
I heard it mentioned on Sean Hannity's show. He's got great sources. I think there are a lot of people who would like him to be Speaker. Trump don't want to be Speaker, Trump wants to be president.
Trump If you're Speaker of the House, how do you think Trump's going to campaign for president? I mean, I'm just asking you guys to think this through for a minute. Trump wants to be president, he doesn't care about being speaker, speaker for what?
A year and a half, how's he going to campaign for president? It's not even possible to forget the Trump speaker thing. It's not going to happen. Is there a chance?
Yes, predictions are like a-holes, everybody's got one, right? I mean, of course, there's a zero, zero, one percent chance. I'm telling you, knowing the Trump team, ninety nine point, nine, nine percent chance, that ain't going to happen.
But I would scrap that for now. OK, a couple other things. Everybody needs to stop panicking about this. If I can come on the air after yesterday where I am, listen, man, you have no idea what I'm dealing with right now.
I've got so much stuff coming at me, I'm really getting numb like numb.
I can see why people in my position fall into like, crazy stuff and I'm getting numb to the whole thing. If after yesterday I can come on the air and really put aside my emotions, but not my passion, there's a difference. And give you a dispassionate defense about this thing, then you can, too. I'm asking you sideline your emotions and forget the personality. If any of your defense of this is but McCarthy? or but Gates, you're probably wrong.
The McCarthy, pro McCarthy people, I don't care, the pro Gates people, I don't care either. I don't have personal beef, I don't really care, I care about the policy.
However, there's a lot of panic, too. The establishment types. It's total chaos.
Everyone's going to die.
It's over, forget it. No one's ever going to trust the Republicans again. OK, sure, ladies and gentlemen.
They'll have a speaker by next week. It's probably going to be Scalise or Jordan, which would be a major upgrade from McCarthy, either one of them, either one of them. I like Jim Jordan.
A lot of known him a long time. We're probably going to have a speaker next week. And Joe, when you Joe, you've been, how long? You've been a talk radio? 30 years or so? Before social media, the news cycle was like five, six days long.
Right, like, if something bad happened, you would be talking about it Morning Radio, right? You know, it was an assassination, a terror attack, a big bill.
It was like a five day, right? five, maybe two weeks, sometimes, maybe. Rush would talk about it, Joe's Morning show when he was on CBN, would talk about it. Ladies and gentlemen, social media, the nuclear bomb, all of that. The news cycle now is about 15 minutes long.
There is nothing you were talking about, even last week that's even relevant anymore. What was the big story last week? Everybody's like, hold on, what was it?
That's good, yeah, I have my book, here's my notebook, what we tell you? Remember this?
Oh.
They lied about the border, right? No one's even talking about the invasion at the border right now, even though it's still.
Going on.
That was Monday.
Forget the panic, these panic hustlers, they're just they just want you on their shows and clicking on their story. We're all going to die. The Republican Party sucks.
You know what, yesterday? I'll be, I'll be candid with you. May not have been the greatest day. I think we could have done things a little different, we should have had a plan.
I have no problem getting rid of McCarthy. I think we should have a plan. But it wasn't the worst thing ever. The first motion to vacate the establishment class now gets the hint that, wow, people aren't screwing around, I guess they found out.
I wish we would have had a plan if McCarthy would have run again. I think we would have had a real problem because they would have definitely cut a deal with the Democrats. There we go now, this is your job before we get to some audio.
You need to call your congressman today, ladies and gentlemen in the chat, please say yes or no. Confirm to me, you'll do this. I need to see it. Please call or email your congressman's office today.
They need to know you're watching that, you will be watching this vote and you are demanding a Conservative speaker. We have the votes to do it. We have 222 members, ladies and gentlemen, all we need is 218. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, look at you all, thank you.
Here, this is what an army looks like. They want to f around and find out, make them, find out, blow that chat up.
Call today, you will be watching. You are demanding a conservative speaker, they are counting on your apathy to do a behind-the-scenes vote. Oh, it's an inside baseball thing.
Bullshit. I'm going to give an example. Joe might remember. Whenever these inside baseball elections happen, they don't think they owe you anything, the Republicans. That's why you need to e-mail and call them.
I was in Maryland, our name was Nicole Ambrose. She was running against Diana Waterman for this Republican Committee woman spot. I'm pretty sure that was the race in Maryland. It was kind of a big deal.
It was like the new, fresh, young blood versus the establishment type person. I will never forget making some phone calls and the committee people who take the vote going. This is inside baseball. No, it's not. You represent us, the Republican Party. What are you talking about?
Because they only get to vote, Congress, gets to vote on the speaker. This is not inside baseball, it's outside baseball, and you're on the outside, you need to get it done.
Let me give you some quick possible scenarios. We're going to get to this audio because it's important right now. I see, most likely it's going to probably be Scalise or Jordan, it could be another outsider. Hearn I'm not really sure.
Either way, I don't do a lot worse than McCarthy. Having said that, not everything that happened was bad. Anyone telling you that they weren't trying to push a normal order and weren't trying to work through the 12 approves bills is not telling you the truth they were. You shouldn't accept that because it's not true.
The reason some of those bills and the 12 separate bills process Normal Order didn't make it out of committee is because conservatives objected to the spending level. Those are just the facts, man. Anybody on TV telling you like, we did this to get back to normal order isn't telling you they were in normal order.
I'm just here to give you the facts you want bullshit, you got to go somewhere else.
All right, I'm going to get to some audio. Let me take a quick break, because this audio is important. Because a lot of Gates is being dismissed, too, by a lot of McCarthy people. Again, if you have a hero in this, today's show is not for you. But a lot of the stuff Gates said on the floor was absolutely freaking correct.
Some of it, I'll tell you what I mean, folks. Credit card balances have risen for five consecutive quarters, increasing at some of the largest rates in 20 years. If you've racked up debt, you're not alone. 2023 has been a brutal year for most Americans, grappling with inflation, rising rates and just generally how expensive life's getting and is.
For homeowners, there's a better way to get you on a path to financial freedom. With my friends at American Financing, they're helping folks just like you get out of that crippling debt and realize significant savings. In fact, they're saving customers just like you an average of $700 a month. That goes a long way.
These days, with all this inflation going on, and unlike credit card debt, your mortgage interest, it's tax deductible, stretching your savings even further. A quick 10-minute call to American Financing's salary-based mortgage consultants is all it takes. There's no pressure, no upfront fees, and to see what they can do for you. If you start today, you might be able to delay two mortgage payments.
So don't waste any time. Call today. Here's the number 888-994-7660 that's 888-994-7660 or visit them online at americanfinancing.net, not .com, .net, americanfinancing.net, nMls12334, nmlsconsumeraccess..org. Okay.
Again, we're not doing personalities here, however. MATT GAETZ There's a lot of people piling on Gaetz today, a lot of people piling on McCarthy. Once you get that out of you, like I did a long time ago, and you learn to concentrate on where the football's going, not who's throwing it. You'll see this with clear eyeballs. I promise you. Gaetz was on the house floor yesterday and he was absolutely correct. A lot of these things he brought up here are accurate.
Some we'll see, but this needed to be said in front of the American people, and I'm glad pretty much every cable channel broadcast it. Check this out. Chaos is Speaker McCarthy. Chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word.
The one thing that the White House, House, Democrats, and many of us on the conservative side of the Republican caucus would argue is that the thing we have in common. Kevin McCarthy said something to all of us at one point or another that he didn't really mean and never intended to live up to. I don't think voting against Kevin McCarthy is chaos. I think $33 trillion in debt is chaos. I think that facing a $2.2 trillion annual deficit is chaos. I think that not passing single-subject spending bills is chaos.
I think the fact that we have been governed in this country since the mid-90s by continuing resolution and omnibus is chaos. He is 100 correct on the omnibus and the CR stuff, he's not so much correct on the single-subject spending bills. They were working towards that. But I get it.
But what he said about the debt, he is 100 correct. Folks, here's the dirty little secret of the omnibus. What's the Omnibus? I don't want to get into too much of the Wonkery if you want the inside baseball. Chad Pergram has a really Fox has got a great Twitter account on this.
I don't pretend to have been like a swamp rat and understand like, Amendment 6.
2.
But I do get most of it. From the overview perspective, you have 12 separate spending bills that would comprise the entire federal budget. What we would do in a normal functioning government, which we're not in and haven't been since the 90s, Gates, is 100 correct.
There is. We would consider each bill independently. Oh, here's the defense bill, let's put it through the committee, let's evaluate line by line what we're spending money on.
What we don't do, that, no, we don't. What happens? A big fat omnibus gets passed at the end of the year, an omnibus, meaning it's everything, all the spending, all in one.
And why? Why do you think, in the chat, that lobbyists, fat cats, sellouts, swamp rodents and all the other filth? In Washington, D.C. prefers the omnibus rather than Congress? Sitting here, going like this line by line to each individual bill. Any guesses? yeah.
Yes, sir, Producer Joe is correct, because you can sneak shit in there at the last minute. And no one's going to see it. No one's going to see it. No, no, I mean that, not in a figurative, in the actual literal sense.
Nobody's going to see it because the bill's delivered and they go. You have seven minutes to read 42 million pages and they're like, Huh, you don't know what the hell's in there? And lobbyists love that Gates is 100 correct.
But you see how the cult of personality gets in the way the people who love McCarthy. They're like, Gates is evil.
I don't care, I don't like any of them, any of them. I don't care about Gates or McCarthy, all I care about is he's right.
We have been governing by CR and omnibus since 1990.
I was 16 in Archbishop Malloy High School, the last time we had a regular order budget.
He's not kidding. Another thing I predicted yesterday, which wasn't hard, I mean, I shouldn't even say because it, I mean, it was. The writing was on the wall was that McCarthy was going to go seek help from the Dems. Now again, the people who are all about the personalities. Gates and I will go the other way, just so you get both sides of this, the people who just I love Gates and don't want to hear any of the facts.
They're not, they don't have the real story either.
Here's the hard reality of what happened yesterday. McCarthy went to the Democrats for help. I'll play the audio for you in a second, and it's the most important minute, plus you're going to hear in a long time. Because it describes when people talk about the unit party, they're not talking about issues.
They're talking about efforts to screw over the American people. I started tweeting it, There's no unit party. We disagree on abortion guns, yeah.
Yeah, I get it, I get it. The question is, did the anti-abortion pro Second Amendment football go down the field or not, or did the Unit Party hold the ball?
That's the question, you see how you when you think about this. Clearly, without personalities in mind. Here's what happened yesterday. McCarthy went to the Democrats for help. Now, in the chat, you may be thinking, what a scumbag, okay?
But who actually did the Democrats help Gates? It's just what happened.
The Democrats voted unanimously with the eight Republican. I'm just giving you the facts, whether you like them or not.
The Democrats aren't stupid, the Democrats, we can turn this around on them and we can win. I said, there could come good could come out of this. Now that McCarthy, McCarthy actually did do us a favor by dropping out a huge favor, which, candidly, I think, the Democrats got caught off guard with.
That's why I actually think we could win this thing now, and it's possible. I don't think the Democrats expected McCarthy to drop, I think the Republicans realized McCarthy was a wounded duck, told him. 10 of them said you got to go, forget it.
And the Democrats were stunned when McCarthy then turned around and said, I'm not running. They figured they were going to vote with Gates, which they did. Every single one of them 208. That's just a fact.
They voted with Gates to get. I figured McCarthy would come back to them, desperate to stay in power with mega concession. You just make sense, guys, I'll give up anything to get my seat back, and that's not what McCarthy did.
The Republicans gave him the middle finger. So what did McCarthy do? In a moment, I thought it was OK for him and his buddy, Scalise. They threw Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer out of their offices and told them to leave. Because they're now getting out and you're getting out too.
And they're not running again. But play this audio if you would. This is McCarthy confirming what I told you was going to happen yesterday. He basically admitted it that he went to the Dems for help, but we got to be honest.
They told him no and went right to Gates's team, and then McCarthy gave him the middle finger, said I'm not running again. Now. You're going to have to be stuck with a more conservative speaker. Everybody lost to that one.
McCarthy loses his spot. The Democrats lost all their leverage. Check this out. Interesting it was in this room.
After we had won the majority, I had became speaker last, and Nancy Pelosi came to me. She was speaker at the time. On the way out, I told her I was having issues with getting enough votes.
She said What's the problem? I said, they want this one person who can rule you out. She was the only speaker to have changed that rule. I had the power to call the vote on her, but I never would. I lost some votes because of it.
And she said, Just give it to him, I'll always back you up. I made the same offer to Boehner and same thing to Paul. Because I believe in the institution, I think today was a political decision by the Democrats. I think the things they have done in the past hurt the institution.
They just started removing people from committee, they just started doing the other things. My fear is the institution fell today.
Because you can't do the job. If eight people, you have 94 or 96 of your entire conference, but eight people can partner with the whole other side. How do you govern? And for them to make a motion on me because I made a decision for the country that they agreed with. But they choose to do the other, that becomes a problem. There it is.
We told you yesterday is going to happen. Do not trust any of these guys, any of them. If you're responding in the chat like, This guy's the best, they're not the best, they all hate you, stop.
Stop, I got nothing. Listen man, I saved all my money, I'm only here, I don't really care.
I'm here because I genuinely give a damn about you guys. I ran for office, got over by about 2000 different people. Everybody thought we're superheroes. I've seen it all, these people all suck.
The good news is now they understand there's some accountability. But now we got to make it work because, make no mistake, we could drop a big L here. If you're not on top of this, it's not good enough to say, like, I saw a couple of people, right, you know? Good riddance, McCartney Yeah, good riddance.
Great now, what? now it's time to do something good. Riddance for what?
I'm with you a hundred percent on that. We are going bankrupt. I said this the other day, but now we got to. We have to organize, be strategic and tactical. It's not good enough to make a tweets, You know these idiots, McCarthy, or bring it on. It'd be broadened, whatever.
Who can just fix the country and shut the up man?
So I tweeted last night before I went to bed, I said, Listen, man, I'm out like, I don't idolize any of these guys. The only thing you should be caring about right now is, how do we fix this budgeting process going forward and wield our power as a Republican majority? Get this thing done, I'm out.
See you tomorrow morning.
All right, I got a lot more to talk about on this. Also, a lot of you been asking in the chat you concerned about the EBS Test today? Emergency Broadcasting System test today. I'll tell you what I know, I don't trust anybody about anything, but I'll tell you what I know from very reliable people.
And I'll tell you something that's got me concerned that it's not so much surveillance, it's more why. Now, like I said, big show today, stick with me here, feel the greens.
I needed this yesterday, stressful day, a lot going on. I love this stuff. Folks. Listen, I'm not here to nag you about your diet. But here's the hard reality as you get older If you're not eating healthy, you're aging faster than everyone else.

Genucell?
Com Slash promo. Okay, so just to sum that whole package up, we just did yesterday. Now that McCarthy unexpectedly dropped out because of Republican pressure and basically gave the middle finger to the Dems who were hoping to use him to get more stuff, we can get a lot of good stuff out of it.
We can get a lot of good stuff, but you need to call your congressman today and demand a more conservative speaker. Or if they're going to pick some moderate guy, you better demand more concessions from them before they get the vote. That way, we have a conservative path and just let them know you guys don't follow through, we'll vacate again. Now they know it's real.
But the ugly thing, Speaker Hakeem Jeffries is to stay on top of this. These guys in D..C. are very vindictive, they just want to hurt people. And please, one last time, no idols.
Put that aside, these guys are tools, that is it, that is it. I promise I won't steer you wrong.
You have my word on this, okay? I've been getting so many questions Joe has, too, about this emergency broadcast system alert that's going out today. What is it? 2.30 p...m.
Eastern time or something today 2.20 or so.
Let me, you know what, go the other one first, Joe, the CNN one. I should have done the opposite, so CNN's covering it.
2.
30 p.
M Today, America's National Emergency Alert system's coming to your phone. Here's what you need to know. Whatever, blah, blah. Now notice the date on this October 4th, 2023..
I would like you to notice the date as well on this Reuters story. That I was just going to put up, but I figured I'd do it in reverse. Oh, look, it's the same day, October 4th, 2023. Attention remain calm Russia tests its public warning system.
Now, a lot of folks have reached out. I have a lot of contacts in the homeland security space. Let's just say, let's address one thing first. I got a ton of emails. Dan, Are they spying on us?
Are they going to install Pegasus on our phones? Listen, I don't trust anybody. And after Spygate, I can't tell you anything with an absolute categorical no. However, from my sources, I'm just telling you what they're passing on to me. No, having said that, I have no reason not to believe them.
And the reason I have no reason not to believe them is this is done every three years since 2006.
There was a law that was passed in 2006 mandating these tests every three years. The technology's gotten better every three years. So the pervasiveness of the message over various modems, TV, phone, in other words, it just appears more ubiquitous than it was. Could the government be spying on you?
They're probably doing it right now. I have no idea, I have zero faith in the government. I can only tell you what I know, I'm never going to lie to you.
I've got really reliable people in the government saying there's nothing here. It's a standard test they do every three years on the spying front, however. Jim, are you listening? What warning is this?
4,900,
I don't know Jim has the number count. I find it awfully odd that they appear to be doing this test of the emergency broadcast system on the very same day that the Russians are doing a test of the emergency broadcast system. What do you think that's about?
I'm not really sure, sorry, I'm just looking for Jim. I'm not really sure about the whole spying thing, but I'm damn sure that the timing of this is not coincidental. Ladies and gentlemen, The government clearly knows something about an escalation of either China or Russia's armed forces status and their willingness to dive into the next stage of this war. Which is clearly nuclear or nuclear, as George Bush used to say.
They know something I have warned you over and over and over again. The G, the government we used to call it, the G in the service there, the G knows something. Why do you think the Russians are doing this at the same time? Well, they could be playing us, they could, but why?
Why would they be playing us? why would they be playing us to make us believe they're going to get into nuclear war? Maybe because they're trying to send a message, I don't know, folks, I don't know.
I'm just telling you on the spy front.
On the warning front.
Very concerned.
That's not an accident.
Here's what's got me concerned, too. It's so funny, like I brought this up totally by mistake, and I just realized it in the flow of the show. I said to you, the news cycle's 15 minutes long now, because it is 15 minutes from now, we're going to forget everything.
McCarthy You're going to have a speaker next week and no one's going to talk about it again. I mean, think about it. It's a perfect example, right? Remember all the McCarthy vote chaos?
It was like, five days, how many votes was it? 15 rounds of voting? how long did people remember that? The answer? About 15 minutes and then nobody gave a shit anymore.
Nobody cared. The same thing's going to happen with this. I brought up the example before about how nobody's talking about the border right now. They're talking about this because the news cycle's 15 minutes long and that's because of social media.
Holy shit, we got 100,000 people, we're only 40 minutes in. Damn, damn, I didn't even see that.
How did you guys not tell me that? You got to tell me 100,000? Is there a fire thing where we get 100,000 people? Can you play it? You got to do that.
I didn't even know you did that. Play the fire effect. Come on, wait, wait, do I have them?
Yeah, someone sent me another classic. I'm sorry folks, these are the originals, you got it?
All right, play it.
100,000 with our digitized glasses, digitized glasses. Thank you when guy hit that thing last time, the fire thing. This guy who posts my clips on Twitter and I don't mind if you post some clips and stuff. Just credit the rumble.
Just make sure you attach it to the rumble, because that's how we put the show on. It's only fair and I appreciate that. I thought the guy did that guy, I was like, Oh, look at this cool thing, the guy did this fire thing.
That was Guy and Joe, good job, that was the chatster. That is so cool, man, you guys are awesome.
I did not know, I swear, I thought that was the guy. I'm like, man, I wish guy would do shit like this. This guy on Twitter is so much cooler than guy.
Paula's like, I swear, Paula goes, No, that's guy dude. I was like, Oh, sorry, all right. So here's the deal. 102,000..
Nice Miranda Devine tweeted this the other day. And it's a fair question. I'm going to give you the real skinny on the border. How it ties to Soros, our national identity, and basically the destruction of the United States and national politics going forward. And why the Democrats are pushing this. We can replace them. Yes, they literally wrote it in the New York Times.
Miranda Devine tweeted this It was great. I love Miranda. Does anyone here understand why the Biden administration is persisting with this suicidal open border? They can stop it tomorrow, but they just lie that it's secure.
This issue is going to be a vote killer in 2024.
Why aren't they pivoting? Is it a scam? What are the mechanics of illegals voting? Is it a long-term strategy, or is it a pet project of Biden's?
The answer is yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen. The Democrats think long game. it's the same reason they did what they did yesterday in voting unanimously with the resolution to get rid of McCarthy, the Democrats are playing the long game. They think the chaos was going to work for them because they miscalculated yesterday, but they thought McCarthy was going to have to come back to them hat in hand, begging for votes.
Can I have a quarter, please? That's what they thought. McCarthy dropped out, effed up the whole thing for them. Immigration for them, is no different. The Democrats are willing to forfeit seats.
They're willing to forfeit candidates, they're willing to forfeit public opinion, anything to long-term change. The United States, No, they're not. Dan, you're not an example. Joe and I lived through it.
It was called Obama Snare, Oh, Obamacare. Yeah, yeah, we were doing the podcast. Remember, everyone warned the Democrats, you eff with people's health care, you are going to get smoked, you know what happened?
They had every focus group in America telling them people had their health care canceled, people's health care premiums went up, and Joe Obamacare went down in flames. Right? Oh, no, it didn't.
No, it didn't, because the Democrats don't care. They lost seats everywhere, county councils, librarians, dog catchers, congressmen, senators everywhere. Obama got smoked in one of the greatest routes in the Republican Party history.
But where's Obamacare now? Oh, it's still the law.
Because the Democrats play the long game always. Health care system was changed forever. That gives a shit. We'll give up a couple of elections.
We'll own your health care now, they do.
Ladies and gentlemen, immigration is no different.
Illegal immigration? If they lose every single seat in the country, they the Democrats believe will transform this country moving forward into a long-term Democrat holdable majority. And it involves two things it involves congressional seats and the Electoral College. I'm going to prove it to you right now because I always bring receipts. Remember when Donald Trump tried to change and reform the census so we would actually count U.S?
Citizens, and not people who were here illegally, remember, the Democrats lost their mind over that. Why? I mean, if you want an account of who was actually in the United States, you want people who were here legally, right? Not people here on overstays, on visa, people who came in illegally.
Sounds legitimate, right? NPR This is from July of 2020. Remember this one, Joe? Remember Trump? He got sued over omitting immigrants from a census.
Count. Why is that? Because if you understand the Democrats long-term play, i...e. you got the New York Times article this, you'll understand exactly why the Democrats needed illegal immigrants factored in. Oh, Michelle Goldberg, New York Times. We can replace them.
I thought, replacement theory, What the Democrats replace, it's their article, it's their article.
By the way, the Democrats, I'm not even going to include the supercut because I played it a thousand times of the Democrats. Talking about demographic destiny, you know what, Jim, can we find that for? I'll play it tomorrow because you need to see it again. The Democrats cannot stop talking about what they call demographic destiny. Immigration is a way for them to compensate, pay attention for the massive loss of population from liberal states. It's the only way.
But they can only compensate for it if the people coming here illegally are counted in the census. Why does the census matter? The census matters. You actually have it. Oh, look at this guy, man.
You guys are freaking on the ball today. I want you to watch this. This is the Democrats, this replacement theory is not a theory, it's the Democrats thing.
You just listen to them coming out into the open. In a few years, we're going to be a majority brown country. White people will not be the majority in the country anymore. This will be the first generation ever in American history in which whites will be a minority of the generation.
At some point, as of 2007, every year babies being born in this country. Whites now are the minority. In 2044, everyone is going to be a minority. As the demographics change, as white people become the minority in the country which is coming, demographics is destiny.
Demographics is destiny. Demographics is destiny, right? The country is changing. I've been saying it here, other people have been saying it here for years now, even before Donald Trump.
The demographics is destiny. The white population is declining for the first time in history in America, while the number of multiracial Americans have more than doubled. So we live in a country where the demographics are changing, it's becoming less white, correct?
Okay, you'll be announcing that we're calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president. It's changing, it's going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographic. Oh, they hate that video.
They hate that video because they want you to believe it's a conspiracy theory. What their own words, folks, they are hemorrhaging people out of liberal states. What does that mean?
That means what's going to happen is as people leave California and move to Texas. Say the split is 50-50 Democrat and Republican, which it's not, it's probably more Republicans leaving. What's happening is Texas because the census every 10 years, they reallocate congressional seats, right? If Texas has an every congressional seat, every 700,000 people roughly is a new congressional seat. So let's say 1.4 million people move from California, New York, to Texas.
Texas gets two additional seats in the next census in the next reallocation, and New York and California lose one. That congressman in that state, because they're controlled by Republicans who get to Gerrymander. The state, just like Democrats do in Democrat states, is likely going to be another Republican seat. The Democrats are terrified because they realize that nobody's leaving red states, everybody's leaving blue states, you get it?
You could lose the House forever. On the Electoral College side for the presidency, the presidency is not a popular vote, it's not, it's 50 individual state votes where they allocate electoral college electors.
The electors, and the number of electors each state gets is the number of congressmen, plus two for the senators. So if Texas has, say, 30, forgive me, I'm escaping me right now. But they have two senators and they get 32 electoral votes. And then in the next 10 years, Texas gets two additional congressional seats, or one. Then they actually have more votes for president as well, to get to 270. You don't think the Democrats know this?
40. Thank you you guys on the ball today. So Texas has 42. How many is Florida?
Is it 29 or did they get more? So? Texas has 42. you only need 270 Electoral College votes to be elected President Texas, which is almost guaranteed to be Republican. You've already got 42, that's 30, so that's 32..
So you're at 74 before you've even won another state, while California and New York and Illinois, the big Democrat halls, are losing people.
How can you change all of that? Oh, if the census count includes illegal immigrants.
It's that simple. Dan Yes, sir. No, it isn't. yes, it is.
There's another component to the Democrats long game. Here's an article in the Jerusalem Post Soros and the left-wing money machine. They love illegal immigration. Open borders are their thing, not just here but around the world. Because if there's one thing they hate, it's a national sense of unity and love of country.
They hate it. National cohesion is their enemy now. immigration, where people want to come here and be part of this fabric. Like my wife in one of the greatest days of my life, raised her right hand and we were all choked up. And pledged allegiance as a U.S citizen for the first time.
One of the most beautiful moments of my life. My wife loves this country so much she'd die for it in a minute. That's not what they want, they want illegal immigration, where people here are illegally. They're here illegally, in the shadows, with no chance to learn about the wonders of this country.
They want them to speak in their language, separate from themselves, pocketed off from American society. Oh, the Democrats accuse the Republicans of that, keep the people in the shadows. No, that's what the Democrats want. Because, as Caroline Glick writes in this piece, then there's Soros actions on behalf of illegal immigration.
From the U.
S to Europe, to Israel. SOROS has implemented a worldwide push to use immigration to undermine the national identity and demographic composition of Western democracy.
Right, they don't want people to love this place. A sense of national cohesion and love of country would lead people to want to preserve it. They don't want to preserve it, they want destruction.
And if you dare mention this, by the way, the left's love affair with demographic destiny. They lose their mind, which is interesting because the Homeland Secretary, Suella Browerman, over in the U..K. She said this the other day on Sky News and all the left lost their minds. But it's really weird, because how is what she's saying? Anything different than the supercut I just played for you? Check this out. My job, first and foremost, to be honest, and speak for the majority of the British people.
And my comments have been somewhat mischaracterized. We have so much to be proud of. We have a great multi-ethnic society, and in many parts of our country, integration has worked. But there are also many towns and cities around the United Kingdom where it hasn't.
And communities are living parallel lives. They are coming from abroad, they are not learning the language, they're not embracing British values, and they're not taking part in British life.
And that needs to be identified. We need to be fearless in calling that out. And that's my job. Oh my gosh, the left lost their minds.
You mean, asking people to come to a country and integrate into the country's national cohesive network is a crazy thing. To the left, it is because they love the chaos. That's why this is about three things. I said two.
We had to add a third there at the end, destroying national cohesion. It's about congressional seats and the Census, and the Electoral College and the Census, that's all this is about. So, Miranda, to answer your question, because, you know, I love you. That's why they're doing this.
It's the only reason it has nothing to do with anything else, because even the Democrats know this is a public safety disaster. I can prove it to you here. Play this.
This was Obama's DHS Secretary Jay Johnson, Obama's, I'll say it again, Obama's saying, My gosh, imagine if 4,000 people a day crossed the border illegally.
That would be such a disaster, be horrible. I'll tell you how many are crossing a day after you listen to this, check this out.
My staff will tell you. If it was under 1,000 apprehensions the day before, that was a relatively good number, and if it was above 1,000, it's a relatively bad number. And I was going to be in a bad mood the whole day. On Tuesday, there were 4,000 apprehensions. I know that 1,000 overwhelms the system.
I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000 a day looks like. So we are truly in a crisis. 1,000 overwhelms the system. 4,000 is horrible. We have 10,000 now.
Again, you think they don't know? Of course, they know. This is the plan, destroy the census, destroy congressional seats.
Back up, backfill blue states that are losing people and destroy any sense of national cohesion. All part of the plan, all being done on purpose. Folks, I've told you that over and over.
Man, what a show today, 107,000 people. Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen. I so deeply appreciate you tuning in today. I just want you to know I love you to death.
