Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Vongino. Folks, yesterday was a perfect example of why we need an intelligence quotient test for Congress, otherwise known as an IQ test, because we have morons there, and it goes back to a point I was making a few weeks ago, and it was a point I was making about a Republican, Senator Lankford, but it applies to politicians in general. Listen to me. Everybody tracking right out of the gate. These people are morons. No, no. They are legitimate morons. You take it however you like. Oh, you're being insulting. Okay, fine. I don't care. I'm only being insulting because it's true, and I'm telling you an axiomatic truth about these people up in politics up on Capitol Hill. They are idiots. That's why I don't want them to do anything. That's why the entire liberal guiding ideology we're here The help is broken. They can't help. They're morons. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a second, and I'm not going to start where you think I'm going to start either. Yeah, there was the AOC thing at the hearing.

We're going to get to that. It was in the headline. But there was a different hearing yesterday where something else happened. And you'll see what I mean about how stupid these people are. No Joe today here, the technical issue. So using the Internet without ExpressVPN is like leaving your laptop exposed at the coffee shop table while you run to the bathroom.

Ladies and gentlemen, the people up there on Capitol Hill, not all of them. I never make gross stereotypes about entire groups of people, even politicians, because people deserve to be judged individually. However, having experienced many of these people, I can tell you I have a large enough sample size to make an informed decision. These people are dipshits. They are really stupid. Why you would ask someone... Hold on. I'm already like, rock and rolling into the show. We're only like three minutes in. We hired Tony not that long ago. Tony's He's doing this operation today. He's doing this whole thing. He's like, ding, ding, ding. He's like, Yeah, don't distract me, too. I got all this stuff going.

Why did I hire Tony? I hired Tony because he had a resume. He knows about video and stuff like that. He's been doing it. That's what Tony does with video. But here's the crazy thing. Even when we brought Tony in here, Tony, you can vouch for me, this specific video setup is a little different than other stuff. So it took him a little while. Not a ton of time, but he had to get used to it. How is that? He's a video guy. Surely even he understands every single thing about video. No. I was a federal agent. I was hired as a secret service agent. I went through nine months of training learning how to do protection. You know what happened? I got to the President's detail, and they were like, Forget all that stuff. We're doing new stuff now. What are you talking about? You were a professional executive protection guy. You didn't know what you were doing? No, I did. I just didn't know everything about everything. The point I'm trying to make is even an expert like Tony in the video space still has a lot to learn about specific video things in different setups.

These people up in Congress don't know jack squat about you, your life, anything you do at all. How the hell are they going to solve your problems. These people are idiots. You saw it yesterday in this hearing about Hunter Biden, which I'm going to get to, but there were other hearings going on yesterday and over this past week. Today's show is going to be about a big, large issue, which is why you never trust people in government to solve your problems and do something. Ladies and gentlemen, they are too stupid. And we're going to bring the receipts. This is not This is not going to be a simple show about lobbying insults. I'm going to tell you why they're too stupid and why they do what they do. It's all about power. This is not just about the Hunter Biden hearing. I want to show you this gem that happened yesterday, too. This is Senator John Kennedy. And again, folks, this is not about if you like these guys. Hey, I don't like any of them. Politicians are tools, period. We use them as tools. End of story. He was a good tool in this situation.

Has he been a bad tool for other ones? Yes. I'm not going to trust anyone. However, he's got this judicial nominee in a hearing yesterday who apparently, as a private sector lawyer, signed onto a brief that was trying to push a ban of, quote, assault weapons. Why is this interaction interesting? Because this person could potentially be in your government as a judge, judging cases to ban something, and she has no idea what an assault weapon even is. You want government to solve your problems? You sure? Watch this. When you were a partner in your law firm, you volunteered to write a brief on behalf of the braided Center. You wrote the brief, and this is what you said. You volunteered for this. You weren't being paid. Is that right? This was a pro bono case that one of my partners brought in. You said, quote, Assault weapons may be banned because they're extraordinarily dangerous and are not appropriate for legitimate self-defense purposes, close quote. Tell me what you meant by assault weapons. Thank you, Senator Kennedy. Just to clarify there, I was local counsel. But you wrote the brief. Tell me what you meant by assault weapons.

Senator Kennedy, actually, I did not write the brief. The brief was written by- You signed the brief, though, didn't you? Correct. I signed the brief- When you sign a brief, you're testifying to the court that everything in it is true, right? Yes. They're your words in terms of the court, right? Well, you're correct, Senator Kennedy. I would never sign- Tell me what you meant by assault weapons. I am not a gun expert. I know everybody, including me, laughed their asses off yesterday about AOC's unfamiliarity with the criminal code. I promise we'll get to that. I promise you. But that was not the only gem. Folks, listen to me. Look at him. Look at his goosebumps. Tony, can you vouch? These are like legit goosebumps. Look at that. The show is really important to me, and it matters to me. There are some things, again, the cutesy time is over, the dead stuff, we get it. But if there's one thing that was a real road to Damascus, Saint Paul moment for me in my life in politics. It was when I first met politicians and started familiarizing myself with the process, I realized, my gosh, these are some of the dumbest people I've ever seen in my life.

I cannot believe there are so many things we we rely on, national defense, public safety, tax codes, business policy, where we rely on people who are so unbelievably unqualified for even basic things. This woman could be inside of our government. She wants to ban something that could get you killed. If someone shows up at your house with a high-powered rifle and you had to fight back and the cops are 20 minutes away, you may not not be able to have that rifle because a woman like this said you were banned while the criminal doesn't care, and she doesn't even know what it is. She doesn't know what it is. You understand what we're up against? We're up against morons who want discretionary government. They hate the idea of rules and a constitution because it ropes them in. They I love the idea of subjective government. This is a concept I talk about often on the show, but it's critical you understand. The idea of subjective government. Subjective government meaning this. I'm a Communist, I'm in charge, right? I don't want a set of objective rules because then I can't violate them. They're not subjective. I have to stick to this Constitution.

Communists hate that because they need to treat people differently. We'll steal from this guy, we'll give to that guy. That's what they do. They hate anything objective. If you've ever asked yourself, why is it liberal commies hate the family, hate religion, hate the church, and hate God? What is the one thing they all have in common? A set of rules. The church says, Do this, don't do that. The family has a set of values. Treat your sister well, love your mom. They hate that. The state wants you to love the state. I want you to listen to this Change. This was very good. Ron Paul did an interview with Tucker Carlson the other day on his show. This describes perfectly. Tucker asked Ron Paul, Hey, what is the deep state? Ron Paul goes into this explanation. It's really good. This is the end part of it, where he talks about how you can't have religion and be a Communist liberal at the same time because there's a conflict there. Either the rules come from God or the rules come from the state. They can't come from both. Listen to this. Why do some of the rich people become bums?

Nicely put. I think it's because they don't believe in a higher spirit. Like I've mentioned to you, I don't think my position What I'm doing here in Congress, I'm there to say, Well, I know if you'd go to this church and do all that. Not that. But spiritually, everybody can have a spiritual life. I don't think the nihilists can get rid of their spiritual life. They have a substitute, and they become the the substitute, and they know what's best for everybody. Smart. Ron Paul is talking about people with wealth who become liberals and swamp Republicans as part of the deep state. And how their religion becomes this cabal of betters, so to say. You can't have competing values with God. Folks, I started out to show this way for a reason. What happened yesterday up on Capitol Hill was just an abominable disgrace. There is a multi-step process going on right now to destroy this country. No borders, discretionary law, where they could change the rules, attack the family, attack property rights, attack science. Science is supposed to be a search for what? Objective truth. They can't have that. You saw it during COVID. I just want you quickly, property rights out the window.

There was a multi-step process going on to dismantle the United States as you know it. That's why you're seeing this fascination right now with these squatting stories. Do you see this? Here's this TikTok guy. I don't even know if this guy's in the country legally or not. He's on TikTok telling people in Spanish how to go steal people's homes. Here's about 10 seconds of this. Check this out.. I want you to understand all of this is happening on purpose. Remember what I told you at the beginning of the show? Why do we have to live with a moron class governing over our entire lives? Because they don't want any objective set of rules to restrain them. What are borders? They're objective. Go here, you can't go there. Our country, your country. Liberals hate it. Law enforcement, here's the law. Don't break the law. Well, if it's Hunter Biden, he can do it. You see how everything to them is interpretable? This is all being done on purpose by stupid people. The law is supposed to be objective. It is clearly not. They made up a crime, fabricated a crime out of whole cloth to prosecute Donald Trump.

There is no fraud. This is completely made up. This case in New York is fabricated. These loans were legal, documented, paid-back loans where the banks who received the funds had no complaints about the arrangement and wish to do additional business with Trump. Those are Facts. Dumbass liberals. Those are facts. Don't be imbeciles all the time. Yet you claimed despite having no fraud, no victims, and banks who say they did nothing wrong, Donald Trump committed a crime. Yet we produce for you yesterday up on Capitol Hill a business partner to the Biden crime family deals who's telling you with emails and text to back it up that Joe Biden and the influence peddling operation were married. They were two pees in the proverbial pod. And what did the dumb ass liberal said? The dumb ass liberal tell you? Oh, no, there's no evidence. There's no crime there. Oh, really? Let's get to some of the hearing yesterday Because this is what I was talking about. This AOC exchange, ladies and gentlemen, you may have seen, is absolutely something to behold. I want to point out one thing about this before I get to it. You're going to hear AOC and Tony Bob Alinsky.

For those of you new to political podcasts or new to my show, let's just be clear about who the players are. Aoc is a Democrat. She is the dumbest member of Congress by far. She has two titles. She's the dumbest female and the dumbest member. The dumbest male is Dan Goldman on the Democrat side. Aoc is a moron, okay? We owned a bar growing up. Our bartenders were very smart. Aoc is actually a disgrace to bartenders. I love bartenders. This one is an absolute disgrace. She is easily the dumbest member of Congress. What happens with AOC is because her computer processor, her brain, runs on a Commodore 64. She gets into arguments on the house floor, like Dan Goldman, who's almost as dumb, that she can't get her way out of because Because she can't freaking process information. She is a genuinely stupid person. She's questioning a guy, Tony Bobalinsky, who was a literal business partner to Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, and a number of entities, including the Chinese Communist Party. Bob Alinsky is telling her, Here are the crimes these guys committed. And he lists them. I want you to notice what he said.

Fara, Foreign Agent Registration Act, RICO. And because AOC She is so stupid, and she violated the golden rule of asking questions. What is it? Ask chatsters, you know it. Never, ever ask a question you don't know the answer to. Here's this dips shit asking Bob Alinsky, Hey, what crimes did you witness him commit? He then proceeds to list them, and her dopey computer can't process fast enough. Watch this. Is it your testimony today that you personally witnessed President Joe Biden commit a crime? I believe the fact that he was sitting with me while I was putting together a business deal. Did you witness the President commit a crime? Is it your testimony today? Yes. And what crime do you have you witnessed? How much time do I have to go through it? It is simple. You name the crime. Did you watch him steal something? Corruption statutes, rico and conspiracy. What is it? What is the crime, sir? Specifically- You ask me to answer the question. I answered the question. No. Rico, you're obviously not familiar with. Corruption statutes- Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, sir. Rico is not a crime. It is a category.

What is the crime? It's a category of crime. Okay, Rico is not a crime. This woman is a dips shit. I need you to I understand that this absolute imbecile is making decisions about your health care, your kids' education, regulatory reform, the Internet, AI, oil and gas, the petrochemical industry, energy resources, the car market, this absolute freaking moron. Thank you, Tony. Tony threw up on the screen. That looks like a screenshot of my phone. Oh, look, it is. And look what I did. I went to Google so they can't say, Listen, that's some right wing website. This is an actual screenshot of my phone. This is how simple this is to do, folks. Look, here's my phone right here. I'm watching you guys and me in the chat on Rumbel. That's why I'm always looking over there. All she had to do was pick up on our phone, go to her favorite left wing search engine, Scroogel, and put in what I put there, Rico Statute. And look what comes up. Holy shit. The racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations, Riko, is a federal law, 18USC, 1961 through '68. Federal law? I thought it wasn't a crime.

Targeting, organized. Oh, shit, Tony, criminal activity. Right here, racketeering. Wow, look at... That is so weird. And of course, if Rico isn't a crime, how did Fannie Willis down in Atlanta charge Donald Trump? And you, Oh, look at that, Tony. How did you find that, Tony? Why? You're so good at this. Why Fulton County district attorney Fannie Willis chose Rico to indict her? I thought, how did she do that? How did she die Trump on? I thought it was a... She just said it wasn't a crime. It's a category, a A category of what? Crimes. It's a category of what? Pigeons? What is it a category of? Flashlights? Is it a category of challenge coins? What is it a category of? Folks, these people are freaking idiots. Whenever they tell you, You sent me here to do something, I don't care if it's a Republican or Democrat. We did. We sent you to go there, plant your ass in the seat. You see your ass? You want to see your look. That ass. Take it, stick it in the seat, and shut the fuck up. Shut up. Tommy John, look. I can see. See? Shut up.

Because we don't need dips doing anything because you're too stupid. You are the branch of government designed to assist in the lawmaking process, and you don't even know Riko is a crime. You could have put it in your phone, you freaking moron. It came right up. Look at Tony. He's taking a little bit. He's doing his own thing. He just one day just took the wings and started doing his own thing. This may be beyond dark, but I hate these people. They are so freaking stupid. You're out there busting your ass, and they do everything they can to make your life difficult. Everything. They cannot shut up and get out of the way. Just shut up. I don't want to hear anything from politicians, Republicans or Democrats anymore. You don't know anything about my life, my kids, my health care, my work, nothing. Just shut up. Just shut up. That AOC exchange, you should never forget that. Rico is not a crime. No, it's Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. I got to take a break. I'm not going to lose my mind. I got more of this. Dan Goldman, of course, the second dumbest member of Congress, stepped on another rake yesterday, which was.

Morons. Oh, boy. Folks, prepare today because there are idiots in charge. And if there's... Tony's like, That's not in a rake. There are morons in charge up on Capitol Hill. And if something breaks bad, I'm dead serious. They're never going to tell you. Trust your gut and take action. No, I'm serious. Prepare because these people are too stupid to help you up in government. Get started today at mypatrientsupply. Com. Load up on three-month emergency food kits today.

All right, back to the show. Thank you. We appreciate it. The second dumbest member of Congress without question is Dan Goldman. This is a man with, I would guess, a sub-80 IQ. This guy steps on rates almost as much as AOC. But the funny thing about Dan Goldman is Dan Goldman is a stupid, smart person. Aoc is just really stupid, period. There isn't any smart connections in AOC's brain. Her processor doesn't work very well. Dan Goldman thinks he's smart. So he steps on Raikes by pretending he's going to outsmart people who he's never smarter than. This happened yesterday when he proves Tony Bobalinsky's point about the infamous 10 for the Big guy email. Again, for those of you new to this case, the Biden crime family, when they were operating, there was an email sent about how much money to send to people. And one of the emails said, Hold back 10 % for the big guy. Bob Alinsky says, The big guy is Joe Biden, which would mean the President is getting money for illicit activity. Watch Dan Goldman prove his point because this guy can't... No one steps on rates better than this idiot.

Check this out. You remember this text message, I'm sure. Generally, yes. All right. And in it, Gilear writes, Man, you are right. Let's get the company set up, then tell H and family the high stakes and get Joe involved. And two days later, Mr. Gilear R. S. Sent an email to you, CCing Rob Walker and Hunter Biden, in which he suggested a division of the company and included a proposal of, quote, 10% held by H for the big guy, question mark. You remember that, right? The infamous email with the big guy? Yes, I do. Did anyone ever respond to that email? Yes, they did numerous times. Hunter Biden himself did. Excuse me. You're right. Well, no, I think that's important because Hunter Biden has claimed that he didn't respond to it, and he responded to it. You're just going to filibuster. I reclaimed my time that's running out. But I will say no one responded to the big guy reference for 10. Thank you for making my point. They didn't have to respond because they all knew the big guy was Joe Biden. I reclaimed my time. Mr. Chairman. Oh, I love First, did anyone respond to the email?

Actually, I did. Oh, I'm sorry. It's not the question. Did anyone respond to the 10%? No, they didn't have to because we all agreed in advance he was the big guy. Raikes and this guy I face everywhere. Folks, these people are idiots. Listen to me. Get your kids, get them to watch the show. Well, maybe why listen to a radio show instead? I don't know. Sometimes it cuss them maybe too much for the kids. I understand that. However, if you are over 18, you need to listen to this show because this show, we focus on the big issue over and over again, which is this. Government sucks. It will always suck. Not because government is inherently bad, it's inherently stupid. There are stupid people who are in government. Why are stupid people in government? Anybody in the chat have any idea? You guys in the chat are getting really good at this, by the way. You're so good. I asked before, what did AOC do wrong? And you said she asked the question, she didn't know the answer to. You're 100% correct. You all are paying attention. But why do stupid people find themselves in government?

Not everyone. Again, I don't want big gross stereotypes or blood brushes. But why do many stupid people find themselves in government? The answer, folks, is a very simple one. They can't do anything else. They crave Fame, notoriety. And what they can't do in the private sector, they're never going to be a superstar CEO. They're never going to be the center fielder for the Yankees. They can't sing. They can't paint. They don't know how to play football. They're not gifted speakers. They're not poets. They're just stupid. So what do they do? They say, Well, if I have no marketable skills at all, Tony's got a skill. Joe's got a skill. Joe does audio. Tony does video. That's their thing. Politicians can't do anything. Aoc wasn't even a good bartender, I They're not good at anything they do. So they crave power and attention, and they find themselves in politics. That's Dan Goldman, a genuine moron who, again, asks a question he doesn't know the answer to. He claims to be a lawyer because he's an idiot. It was this moment yesterday, too. This worked out great for them. This is Jamie Raskin, who proceeds to attack again the witness, Tony Bobilinsky.

This is amazing. You have about five or six cases against Donald Trump with zero evidence at all of criminal activity. You have a hook, line, and sinker case of criminal activity against the Biden family, and the Democrats can't do anything but protect him. Here's Jamie Raskin attacking one of the witnesses, Jason Galanis. And then at the end, they point out a great point, Jim Comer. Well, if Jason Galanis is such a bad guy, then what the hell was Hunter Biden doing picking him as a partner, you diplod? Listen to this. The majority has two witnesses. One, the designated conman as determined by two different federal courts, not without talent, but someone who deploys his talent towards the purposes of exploiting Native American Indian tribes, pensioners, and other innocent investors. And then Mr. Bob Balinski, who offers a lot of rhetoric and a lot of hot air, but absolutely no facts that could indict the President of United States for high crimes and misdemeanors, impeachable offenses against the Republic. The kinds of offenses which James Madison said are great attacks on the Republic itself, great affronts to our Republican form government, and nobody on their side can even tell us what is the impeachable high crime and misdemeanor, which suggests that they are moving in the direction of criminal referrals, and they should start by looking at their own witnesses.

I yield back to you, Mr. Chairman. And I'd like to remind the ranking a member in Ms. Norton, the witness, Mr. Galanes, was partners with Hunter Biden. That's why he's here. We have their partners. You could have invited partners, but you invited this guy. Tony, you've been here long enough now, right? Folks, I typically do not insert video content into the show for sheer humor value, because the show is supposed to be edutainment. If it's not educational, if there's something, if there's no takeaway, I will rarely put it in the show. There's no takeaway here. It's just funny that they don't understand that the guy is only there as a bad guy, right? As they implied he was this guy, Galanis, because he was a partner with the President's son. That's the only reason. So if he's this shithead, you keep saying he is. Why the hell did the Biden family do business with them? There's no educational value in that at all. It's really just hilarious. And you know what? Hat tip to James Comer, the Republican at the end, who picked up on that simple point. That gloriously good point. This guy's only here, this guy you're saying is a moron and a horrible guy because the Bidons were doing business with them.

There's I got to move on because there's nothing there. Hey, something happened yesterday with Jim Jordan, too. One more cut from Up on the Hill. I got a lot more to get to. Big show, the Don LeMonde thing. Tons of stuff happened yesterday. Please don't go anywhere. But Jim Jordan asked three questions yesterday, and these Three questions must be answered. Must. Must be answered the second Donald Trump gets into office. They're very important, and I'm glad he said it. Last break of the show. Again, I really appreciate your patience. Fast-growing trees.

We appreciate it. All right, back to the show. Folks, this I would argue to you. Although, AOC, a couple of lessons in the AOC thing. The people in charge right now are idiots. You should never put your faith in government when you could put your faith in yourself. They don't know anything about you. Second, don't ask questions you don't know the answer to. These are important things. Dan Goldman stepping on Raikes. He's glorious. Raskin's a moron. But I can make a case to you. This was the most important thing said this week up on Capitol Hill. Jim Jordan just goes for it here. He asked three critical questions. He's like, It's amazing. We've got all these January 6 people in gulags. We've got parents who attended school board meetings in jail. You've got pro-lifers being targeted. You've got Donald Trump with 22 different criminal cases, his taxes floating around, people stealing his taxes. Why don't we have an answer to these critical questions? This is very important. Take a listen. Who planted the pipe bombs on January 6? Nobody seems to know. Who leaked the Dobbs draft opinion? The leak that led to an assassination attempt on Justice Capital.

How about this one? Who left cocaine at the White House? Biden administration doesn't seem to have time to answer these questions. They're too busy investigating parent and school board meetings, labeling Catholic's extremist, retaliating fighting against whistleblowers. They're too busy putting together a sweetheart deal for Hunter Biden. Folks, these are some of the most important questions in government right now. And you know what? Listen, cutesy time is over. It's one of my favorite shirts. I love wearing it to the gym. People always give me the thumbs up. This is no time for bullshit. Donald Trump will be in office at the end of January if he wins. Obviously, November elections, swearing in is in January. I think it's January 20th. We I want answers to this within the week, and I know he's going to try to get them. Who the hell planted those bombs, those January 6 bombs in front of the DNC? I'm telling you, it's the biggest scandal in our government right now. Second, who leaked the Dobbs decision about abortion? Brett Kavanaugh was almost killed because of this leak, and they are still hiding it. Somebody in our government leaked this thing.

And finally, the cocaine at the White House. There is zero chance that a baggie This is a baggie, right? Was left behind. This is not cocaine. I do not snort cocaine. I don't believe in drugs. Don't do drugs. They ruin a friendship. Here you go. This is earpieces. But let's assume it's cocaine for a moment. If you were to place a plastic bag of cocaine, which we know was there, you would leave a... Look at that. Look at that, Tony. Wow. The imposable thumbs, they work pretty well. You would leave a fingerprint. No, Dan, maybe they did that. Well, maybe they put it in their mouth and dropped it in. Yeah, then you would leave this there. It's called saliva. Saliva, that has what? That DNA. So you would be able to find DNA or a fingerprint. Why haven't we found that out? The answer is we have. We just don't want you to know. When I say we, I don't mean me. I mean them. I want the answer to those three questions, and you should, too. Jim Jordan knows we must, Must get this answer. No excuses after Donald Trump takes office. Pipebomb, The Dobbs case, and Cocaine Gate, three of the most critical questions in our government right now.

All right, folks, I got to move on. I got a couple of other things to get to. Back to the point I was making in the beginning of the show, we should have IQ test for Congress because these people are so stupid, and they say so many stupid things. It's astonishing that they have such control and power over our life. Limit government, not because it's bad. I can't say this enough. It It becomes bad. But limit government because it's stupid. I had Father Bob Serrico. He's a priest, but he would lecture, I think, at the Acton Institute. And he said that one time, and it changed my view of this whole thing. Government becomes bad because it's stupid, but it doesn't start out bad. Our founding fathers had an idea. We should all operate by a collective set of rules we call government. I need you to understand, for as much as I hate government, believe me, brothers and sisters, I am with you. I would pat my heart, but my elbows don't work, as you know. Nobody hates government more than me. But it is necessary. There's got to be some set of collective rules.

You have to be able to go to court if someone cheats you out of a contract. However, government is a necessary evil. It should be limited in your life. That was the purpose of the Constitution. I don't want to go on and on here. I just want to make the point to you that government is not inherently bad. Government is just stupid. And because government is stupid, we should limit its intrusion into our life, into areas of maximum agreement. Maximum agreement, meaning we all agree what? We needed an army and a military to defend us. We'd already be finished if that weren't the case. Russia would have already invaded us. We need a court system. We need some semblance of trade rules among states. You don't want Florida tax in New York, tax in Georgia, a road tax with Virginia. We need government. We just need it small, fit it in a bathtub, because the things we agree on maximally are small. Everything else, there's disagreement, how we should operate health care. We disagree. So why the hell would you have morons in the government figuring it out? Here's what I mean. You know Marcus Limonis?

He had that show, The Prophet. I don't know what it was on CNBC. It was a good show. Marcus Slamonis was responding to Ted Lou. The folks, Ted Lou rivals Dan Goldman for stupidity. But the thing about Lou is while Dan Goldman steps on a rake once a week. Ted Lou steps on a rake once every three weeks. But Lou is a genuine idiot, too. So Ted Lou tweeted out, Trump claims he's a billionaire, but he can't pay a 464 million dollar judgment. That means He is lying. How do I know math? How do I know Ted Lou is a moron? Because math. Ted, there's this thing called liquidity. Do you understand what it is? Folks, listen, people talking about money is not classy and distasteful. So please forgive me for a moment. I'm not trying to impress you. I promise you, I grew up a poor and then middle class kid. I don't say too poor, but let's just say middle class, lower middle class. My dad was a plumber, which I'm very proud of. My mom worked in a supermarket, God rest her soul. I did not grow up with money. But I'm not going to lie to you, we do okay now.

Am I a billionaire? No, not even close. But we've done okay with investments. So I have a general understanding of what it's like to now have money when I didn't. My money is not liquid. I'm sorry to... I'm wasting your time because you all get it. My money is held in rumble stock, in assets, in real estate, in my house, my studio. In other words, I can't write a check against it. Marcus Lemonis had to explain this to Ted Lou, who is a member of freaking Congress, who thinks Donald Trump is walking around with a billion dollars in cash in a freaking suitcase because Ted Lou's a dips. And yet he's making decisions about your money. Lemonis writes, With respect, Ted Lou, you may know math, but business doesn't work this way. Balanced sheets are cumulative, and while liquidity is key, a return on capital is the cornerstone of capitalism. Please be more thoughtful in your presentation, i. E. Thank you, Marcus Lomonis says, Don't say stupid things. I know Ted Lou doesn't understand what Marcus Lomonis just said. What Marcus Lomonis What he's saying, which is absolutely accurate, is there isn't... Can we, folks, can we do the economics thing?

If you don't want to just tell me no in the chat right now, I'll give you... Just for a second, I got to explain this because there are genuine morons who don't understand this. There is a thing in economics, if you don't understand it, don't ever get in a financial field. It's called an opportunity cost. Folks, you are not wealthier if you go and work a job making $9 an hour where you could go work a job and make 150. The moron liberal goes, Yeah, you're wealthier. You made an hour. The smart person goes, No, you're not. You could have made $150. So you're actually $141 an hour poorer because you chose a field making $9 an hour when your skills could have made you $150. That is second-level thinking. Ted Lou thinking, Is Donald Trump a billionaire? Donald Trump must have the money in a briefcase. Let me tell you who has money in briefcases. The stupid millionaires who rapidly won't be millionaires. You put your money in assets that Let grow them. Gold, real estate, equities, bonds, Muni bonds, tips bonds, whatever you think is going to make you, Bitcoin, baseball cards, comic books.

I don't care. There's a million ways to make money. However, there's only one way to lose it, and that's to sit there and keep it in cash when you could be making more money and assets. This freaking guy, Ted Lou, is a member of Congress, folks. This is a genuinely stupid person. I'm going to skip the bond thing. Don't do it at another time. I got so much more stuff. I got you have two pager today. Sorry. Another example of stupid people. Did you see Don Lemon yesterday? I'm going to throw this out there. Again, I don't like Don Lemon. He is a moron. He is another Ted Lou, AOC, Dan Goldman, liberal idiot. There have been a lot of morons on today's show today, and I'm sorry if you find any of this offensive, but it's important. Liberals rely on stupidity. But I will say to Don Lemon, as an equity holder in Rumbel, I'm not a manager there. I don't make decisions. I believe in free speech. I think you're an idiot. Don't put your stuff on Rumbel. You're claiming Elon screwed you over. Elon didn't screw you over at all. I don't know Elon.

I've never met him. Elon said, Go put your stuff on X. It's there for you. It's a free speech platform. I'll tell you the same thing with Rumbel. Go put your stuff there. X just isn't going to pay you for it. See, that's the difference. I don't want to censor Don Lemon. Because I love when you see clips like this. This is a Ted Lou AOC moment. He's interviewing with Kara Swischer, who is a left-leaning podcaster. He's got a pretty popular show. And Don Lemon does what every single pathetic, weak, cowardly liberal does every time. Why did the interview with Elon not go well? Because I'm Black and because I'm gay. And Kara is like, Well, maybe it's more because you're gay. Maybe it's because you're an imbecile. Do you ever think of Listen to this. People have been asking me what I meant by when I said he did not like answering questions or being held to account from people like me. And so some people took it to me in a racial thing. I meant someone who has a different worldview. But since people raised it and you said what you said, do you think that he was uncomfortable?

I didn't want to go there. Do you think he was uncomfortable sitting in front of a gay black guy? Probably more gay than black, I would think. I hate to say that, but I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think he do like- Having to answer questions from- I don't think he likes control beyond himself. It doesn't matter who's exerting it. I don't think he much likes Joe Biden. Folks, this is so weak. This is so weak and pathetic to the liberals out there who are citizens of this country just like me. I respect your God-given rights. I do. See, that's the difference between us and you. You don't respect my rights. I know both of those people would probably love to censor me. Maybe not Kara, but I know Don Lemon probably would. I don't want you to shut up. I want you both to talk because I want the world, not just the United States, to see what you're about. You claim to be someone of intellect. I'm not saying Don Lemon says he's a genius. I've never heard him say that, but he probably thinks he's a person of...

Tony, fair assessment. He probably, I'm a reasonably smart guy. I made it in TV. Did he had a show on CNN? I mean, I wouldn't call the guy a total failure. He didn't do great ratings. Cnn didn't think he was good enough to keep on. They let him go. But I wouldn't call him totally untalented. That'd be ridiculous. That'd be something they'd say about us. How pathetic that this guy who's gay and black, and by the way, nobody outside of Don Lemon gives a shit that he's gay or black. Nobody cares. Why would you give a shit? What does that have to do with anything? Your content sucks. It's just bad. Your content is garbage. Your interview with Elon was stupid. The premise of your questions, you were a few It in your own questions. You were asking a genius, Elon Musk, your intellectual superior by far, questions totally out of your league. And when he answered, you were puzzled. So then you do what every liberal does, which is what? You appeal to stupid. Everything's racist. Never take ownership over anything. Oh, it's because I'm gay. It's because I'm black. Liberals, you understand that nobody's buying this shit anymore?

Nobody. Everybody Everybody is laughing at you. I am not kidding. Everybody is laughing at you. They're laughing at you because of what was reported to be ridiculous contract demands. You claiming Elon was somehow suppressing you. He's not suppressing anything. Folks, X is a video platform just like Rumble. Don can put his stuff anywhere. If Don Lemon joined Rumbles tomorrow, I'd put out, Hey, here's Don Lemon on Rumbles. Why? Because I would like you to see stupid stuff. And he's free to call my stuff moronic or dumb. Just all I ask is produce the receipt. Produce me a single shred of evidence that Elon is homophobic or somehow a racist. A single shred of it. You can't. You just made it up. Because as Tony just said, as we were listening, you guys are chronic victims. It's pathetic. It's cowardly. It's weak. Don't you guys have parents? Some of you, you have kids. You ever say to your kids, take responsibility? Oh, they don't like me because I'm black and gay. Yeah, sure, Dawn. That's it. I'm sure. I'm sure that's it. Why are these people on the left? They are so freaking weird. Everything they do is backwards.

You see this guy yesterday? He's Mike Sington. Apparently, he was some NBC guy in the past. You see him on Twitter? This thing went viral yesterday. This guy's obsessed with Barron Trump. These are these weirdos on the left. Barron Trump turns 18 today. He's fair game now. Really? What does that mean there, Mike? This guy apparently has some obsession with Barron Trump. I guess he deleted the tweet. First son, baron Trump, celebrates his 12th birthday today. Let's take a look back. Moving on. Why are these people so weird? Don Lemon, Mike Singdon, AOC, Dan Goldman. Why are they so weird? Folks, I've always been proud on the conservative side when we screw something up. Not Republican side, conservative side. We're like, Man, we screwed that up, and we'll call out our own. These people, it's like they admire weirdness and stupidity. Do you see this one in the New York Times? This is like the greatest Republicans pounce ever. Chasing cliques in the jungle, right-wing influencers descend on the Darian Gap. So just to be clear, there's a massive immigration crisis down south at the border, and right-wing influencers are chasing clicks by reporting on the biggest national security crisis in our country right now?

Again, do you see what we're dealing with, with these media people and these idiots out there, folks? You have to understand, we have real serious problems right now. Breaking 9/11. The only three dozen Chinese warplanes sworn Taiwan, government says. We have serious problems going on right now, and you've got a moron class in charge. We've got a few months to clean this operation up until an election in November. I know you may not like them. I understand. I'm not telling you who to like and not like. But Karl Rove had an interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal and put aside the personalities for a minute. But he was talking about some very important electoral dynamics that you all need to understand. This election, ladies and gentlemen, is going to come down to seven states. I say that because if you were a listener in the seven states, I'm looking in the chat now. If any of you in the chat are in these seven states, everybody has to get out and vote. No talk of a red wave. Everybody get out and vote, bring 10 friends. With a popular vote, although it technically doesn't matter, does matter.

It's a messaging device. I don't care if you're in New York, California, there are down-ballet races. Don't take this any other way. However, these seven states are going to be extra important in the presidential election. Rove is right in this respect. Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, Michigan. Those seven states are going to be critical. If you are a Republican in those states, I need you to start thinking now, how are you going to marshal an effort to do my 10, 10, and 10 plan? Turnout is going to be key. If we get maximum turnout in this election and set records, ladies and gentlemen, there is no way we'll lose. We've got a Senate race in Nevada, a Senate race in Pennsylvania, a Senate race in Ohio, a Senate race in Montana, in West Virginia, Arizona. These There are critical states. We've got to take it back. Even Maryland with Larry Hogan, who's not one of us, but I'll take them over the alternative, is polling ahead. We can't hand over Donald Trump, a substandard Senate and cabinet, ladies and gentlemen. We can't. We'll have the same problem we had last time. Donald Trump is going to put judges in charge.

You're seeing the problem with the judicial system right now, with this border nonsense and this whole mess. When you get judges in charge that are like activists, what What happens? You get that judge in the beginning. What's an assault weapon? We have a chance in the next four years with Donald Trump. We have an opportunity to appoint a number of federal judges. I want you to think about something. I don't mean to sound macabre, and I'm not wishing ill on anyone. I want to be clear. But Sonia Sotomayor is not young. She could leave in the next few years. She leaves, we could appoint another Supreme Court justice, which would give us a 6-3 majority. And it's 6-3 now. No, it's not. John Roberts is totally unreliable. I'm just throwing that out there. We have an opportunity for significant change ahead. It is not good enough to turn Donald Trump over a Senate and a house without leadership. We got some time. So you got that clip, the one from CNBC, Tom? Okay, I wasn't going to play this, but folks, before we go, this is important. I'm not sure how this is going to go over with you all, so I understand if you want to buzz out.

But this is something really important to me. Again, I've always intended the show to be instructional. This is a short clip from CNBC. It's about a minute. Was it Sorkin? Is that his name? Yeah. There are these agencies out there that proxy vote. The long story made really short is this. These two ratings agencies influence US corporate policy because a lot of people don't have time, if they invest in stock, to go and vote for board members and stuff like that. So they take the advice of these two agencies. A lot of what's happening in America right now, in corporate America, this ESG DEI crap is because of these two agencies. I want you to see how uncomfortable one of the ladies from this agency is on CNBC when Sorkin asks her about their influence in corporate America. You want to see why these companies go woke? These two companies are some of the primary reasons. Watch this. So the investment thesis is something we to the investors, frankly. And when we work with the investors, they help articulate what their philosophies and their programs are. Can I interject just for one second? And this goes to at the top, you said, Oh, we don't have this influence.

I would make an argument, and you can disagree with this argument, and I actually think it's unfortunate, but it's the truth, and I understand how the world works, that a lot of institutional investors effectively outsource their investment philosophies on governance to you. That's why they're hiring you. A lot of folks get the ISS recommendation, and they're able to then turn around to their investors and to their pensioners and everybody else and say, We did what ISS did. That's actually an easier way. Rather than us have thousands of people who are going to work for us. We're going to actually look at every single stock and every single company and figure out the governance. We're not going to do that. There's this other company over here called ISS. That's what they do. And we're going to let them tell us what to do. And that's how we're We're going to run things. I don't know if you think that's a fair explanation, but I think that's what's happening. And that's why I think you have the influence you do, even if you don't want to believe it. I don't think that's what's happening. I think we enable investors.

Folks, I know that's a wonky type of clip, But it is super important you understand that. You want to see why we're losing the culture wars, and we've only recently turned it around? You got these two proxy voting agencies that basically control every public company. They don't want to admit they do. You see how uncomfortable she is? But Sorkin is absolutely correct. A lot of this DEI stuff is because these pensions that invest major money go to these two companies, and they got to speak out against this stuff. Hey, one last thing, but it's very important you understand that. Once you understand the mechanics, it all makes sense. It's the blob, all of it. One last thing Ms. Paula wanted me to mention. We just got a whole boatload of Don't Get Dead tumblers. She personally brought this up here. This is, you see it? Don't Get Dead right there. Store up on gino. Com. She personally asked me to mention it. So if you want one, check them out. Don't get dead. We just got a bunch of them. You could probably fit a torpedo full of coffee in this one. You're drinking black out.

Okay, it doesn't fit the whole bag, but almost. So check them out. Don't get dead. Of course, we got the Cutie Time is over. Shirts. We restocked on a lot of stuff. Most of it's in, some of it's out, but the tumblers are definitely in. So pick those up at store. Bongino. Com. Store. Bongino. Com. Thanks for tuning in, folks. I appreciate it.
