Trump: America First Champion or Neocon Warmonger?

Time Text
Welcome new viewers.
This is what they call a cold open in the industry.
I don't know why they go cold.
I guess because you're not warmed up.
Anyway, welcome everyone who just came over from Vince Colonese's show.
We're very appreciative.
Of course, we're all going to Mr. Dan Bongino.
Hopefully he's going over to the FBI to use the full run of the law and, you know, rough a few people up.
But everyone who's tuning in now, we will also be rating later to Tim Pool.
This is the lineup on Rumble Exclusive.
And by the way, people out there who are confused, you don't need to be a Rumble Premium member.
Everything that has been free is still free.
Anyone watching on YouTube, this is the last week.
Next Monday is D-Day where you can tune in to Rumble for the lineup.
It is exclusive.
Rumble owns live.
We will no longer be streaming to YouTube.
We will be canceling YouTube.
You've got Evita.
You've got Vince.
Then I go.
Then you've got Tim Pool, Jeremy at the Quartering, Viva Frey.
Really excited about that.
And more people to come.
Russell Brand next week.
He's on break right now.
Is a monumental shift.
We're incredibly grateful to everyone who has joined.
Download the Rumble app.
It's free.
Follow us.
You get notifications.
Rumble.
We own live and here, I guess, by somewhat demand.
We ran this last week, but some of you missed it.
If you're not quite clear as to what the lineup is, what we're doing at Rumble, why the shift, here's a briefer.
I want you to do the same thing as a push-up exercise.
Present the new you to the world.
We are kids!
Make sure you hit the like button and you subscribe to our channel.
You know how many subscribers we have on YouTube now?
Steven Crowder, by the way.
This is why he's on Rumble, not on YouTube.
We've always wanted to reach as many people as possible, but YouTube has gotten so bad that you can't even tell the truth.
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, where's my YouTube?
That's what we watch here.
And that's why March 24th, we are officially canceling YouTube.
We need YouTube.
YouTube.
How are you doing?
And then you have me.
You're right.
You're better.
Why are you changing it?
We just watch YouTube.
YouTube is safe.
What is this bullshit?
That's all we want to do is watch YouTube because it's safe for us.
I only want my YouTube.
Turn it back now.
Just a second.
Now.
We all want YouTube.
I didn't come all the way from England to watch Bumble, Bumble, Bumble.
I'm going to have to go to the bathroom in a minute.
No more live streaming there at all.
It's done.
Gone.
And it's not just me.
Tim Pool, Russell Brand, Evita in the Morning, The Quartering.
We are launching something called The Lineup.
Live every day on Rumble.
And all of us, March 24th...
Get YouTube back on there.
That's what we want.
March 24th is D-Day.
The Lineup is coming.
So hold on to your butts because people...
We'll be remembering this for years to come.
This is what we're watching now.
This moment that everyone realized YouTube is dead.
And Rumble did it.
Uh oh.
To you.
Well it's just a dumb and dull.
To you.
Yeah, Rumble is freedom.
To you.
Well the lineup is epic.
All day long I can't believe.
We never had it.
Temple and Crowder.
Steven Crowder.
He's very offensive.
Very offensive.
offensive remarks that Trump has been making.
Now YouTube's canceled.
So let's celebrate all identities.
We stream to rumble.
Deal with all of Trump's dumb stuff.
You've got a problem.
Type platforms, access to accurate information.
Rumble's a problem.
Woo-hoo!
Well, it's just a dumb and dull.
Woo-hoo!
Yeah, and rumble is freedom.
Woo-hoo!
Well, the lineup is epic.
All day long, I can't believe We never had it.
Jim Bull and Crank.
Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
It's free.
It's live.
There's no reason to go anywhere else.
YouTube is dead.
And Rumble did it.
Rumble.
We own life.
Rumble Exclusive, Evita, Vince, and now this, and we'll be going to Tim Pool after this.
Look, today's theme, I want to let you know what this is, this is a little foreshadowing, call me Steinbeck, is the left hates America.
And I'm not just saying that, it's not just using hyperbole.
We're going to go through the story.
So we see now that Democrats, we're going to get to this, they're at an all-time low approval.
At the same time, we see optimism in the United States, our direction, at a 20-year high.
And then we're going to look at these stories.
Donald Trump, President Trump, killing Houthi terrorists.
That makes sense.
Okay, the left is upset about it.
Now they're anti-war, not as it relates to Ukraine.
President Trump, we look at what is happening with deporting South American gangs.
The left is upset about it.
Doge, getting rid of government waste.
The left is upset.
How do you, and you can comment below, How do you maintain the position?
How do you reconcile supporting a never-ending war?
Funding for Ukraine and somehow take a stand against killing people with the direct charter, the direct expressed purpose of killing Americans and taking out ships?
The only way is if you hate the United States of America.
And we know that, but we're going to prove it today.
This is our last week live on YouTube.
Our last week starting next Monday, I believe the 24th.
All streaming takes place on Rumble exclusively.
It is live weekdays at 11 a.m.
Eastern.
That's the new time slot.
And if at some point when you're watching on YouTube, this is the last week you may ever see this, that means head on over to Rumble.
They hate you.
Download the app and follow us.
You will get notifications as to when we are live, not a bunch of other crap.
You don't have to worry about algorithms.
You don't have to worry about Xi Jinping propaganda being thrust into your timeline when you search to change my mind.
Just go to Rumble.
Let us know how you're enjoying it thus far.
Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
I am doing well.
By the way, update your Rumble app.
You'll see a new feature that Rumble just launched.
So make sure you update your app.
You'll see us featured in the live play.
Every time you log in when we're on, you're going to see us and everybody else in this lineup.
Don't do it now, though.
Don't do it right now.
Update the app.
And for people asking the question, just filling you in here, everything that is free on YouTube is still free and more on Rumble.
And if you're a Rumble Premium member, you get to watch 100% more show.
We're not taking anything away from free.
We're just taking it off.
Of the communist platform that is YouTube.
Taking it out of the ghetto.
Taking it out of the hands of the SS. Did I just compare YouTube to the SS? I did.
Josh Firestein, not underscore Firestein on X. Doing well, sir?
Yeah, yeah.
My neck's a little sore, but...
Oh.
Why?
Well, because I was getting choked out.
Well, there's only two ways you injure your neck.
That's true.
One is whiplash.
I've got a smaller Adam's apple than a trans woman.
Come on now, Michael Douglas.
He's going to be talking to me.
Catherine Zeta, you selfish, selfish harlot.
Now!
Don Lemon, to lead this off, is racist.
You know that.
He's also gay, but we don't care, right?
It's 2025, that's okay.
He's gay and he's racist.
Or racist and gay, whichever you prefer.
He's gay-cist.
He is a gay-cist.
He's a grand wizard in the gay-cist clan.
Founding member.
And he disappeared, and after he tried to do his show on X, and then that got cancelled, he appeared on Bill Maher's online sort of podcast, and he just couldn't help himself.
He couldn't stop himself from attacking black Trump supporters and really anyone who's not a gaysist themselves.
It's the same thing when I see not all black Republicans, but I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump's water and they know that he's lying.
It is the shortest line to the front.
Because if you're black and you're whatever, you're just in line with a bunch of other Democrats that are doing the same thing that you're doing.
But if you become a black MAGA person, it's like, whoa, let's book this person, let's put him on television.
So you don't think you can be a sincere black MAGA person?
No, I just said, I don't think that, I just said I think there can be sincere Republicans.
But you can't be a sincere black Republican?
I don't think that you can be a rational MAGA, be black and be a rational MAGA person.
I think you can be black and be a Republican.
I think they would find that very insulting.
Well, I mean, the truth is often insulting.
Like your ratings.
How about a sincere black Peter Puffer who looks like Otter from Animal House?
Are there a lot of those?
Walking around?
Or just you?
Skinny Bluto?
Please keep going down this line.
Please go down this line when more black people voted for Donald Trump.
I know.
This time around, as a percentage, as a whole number.
I'm telling you, you can't get through to people like Don Lemon.
No.
Because they hate the United States of America.
It starts off with America bad, America racist, America slavery.
To believe those things, you'd have to sort of not even acknowledge that there are more slaves right now on Earth than ever in recorded history.
To not actually look in context at what is happening with immigration.
Border crossings down to not see what is happening with the price of eggs, to not see what is happening with just absolutely destroying the Houthi, which is very fun.
I mean, it's like whack-a-mole with pricks who should die anyway.
It should be an American pastime.
These people are simply against everything that would be in line with American exceptionalism, because America, bad.
Here's another example right here.
This is something we can all celebrate.
When people say, let's find common ground, okay, all right.
You remember.
The left, their Trump card, forgive the expression, was, what about the price of eggs?
What about the price of eggs?
Three weeks into Donald Trump's presidency, right?
What about the price of eggs?
Okay.
Egg prices have now dropped, this should be common ground, for the third straight week, along with gas.
I have some good news for you.
The USDA says wholesale egg prices dropped for the third straight week.
Big drop.
The average wholesale price nationwide fell to $4.15 per dozen.
So let's put that in perspective.
That is down about $2.70 in just one week.
So here's the thing.
I looked far and wide on social this morning to find the leftist profiles that we're saying, what about the price of eggs, to see if they go, okay, all right, good for America.
Yes.
Not one exists.
Not one.
How do you find common ground with that?
My genuine question.
We need to stop finding common ground based on a lie.
You don't revile the left enough.
They can't stand you.
They use you.
You, the American worker who subsidizes the entire world.
Yes, that includes Europe's entitlement programs, including free internet in Germany.
That's because they don't meet their NATO spending, their agreement.
You subsidize the entire world, and the left sees you as merely a pawn for political talking point.
They don't care about your grocery bills!
Otherwise, right now, this would be a celebration.
Good!
Isn't that great?
We're not seeing it anywhere.
You will not see it.
I guarantee you won't see it celebrating Donald Trump and the efforts this administration took.
They basically would just say that it happened.
Yeah.
Donald Trump didn't do anything about it.
Thank God the farmers got together and had chickens make more eggs.
I don't know.
They had a meeting in the chicken coop.
Yeah.
They lit some candles.
I can't wait to see all these Democrats posting their Easter pictures.
Yeah.
They're grown adults without kids painting eggs.
How do they get those chickens to get busy so quickly?
A little Marvin Gaye.
You call yourself a rooster?
You got that hen right there.
She's making eyes.
It's you.
Your rooster won't come out of the hen house?
What's going on down there?
Come on, we need some eggs!
They call them the dominatrix roosters.
Yes.
I know they're not fertilized.
I understand.
It was just perverted.
Josh has a problem with the biology.
Wait a second.
Those are unfertilized.
No, no, they don't let them mate.
They just spring them in.
Oh, okay.
I'm very distracted because I just...
I got a little mustache hair.
Sorry about that.
Oh, you have a sore neck.
All right.
I see when a rooster sees another rooster.
That's right.
Theme today, the left can't stand America.
It really does permeate.
Everything.
And this comes at a time, right now, where two polls.
CNN, and then I believe we also have NBC? NBC, yeah.
NBC. Approval for the Democrat Party, as a whole, is at an all-time low, where at the same time, we see optimism for the country at a 20-year high.
That's a good thing for America, bad for the Democrat Party.
That's the trend we're going to be addressing today.
All-time low.
Here you go.
A brand new exclusive CNN poll that paints a brutal reality for Democrats as they struggle to mount a unified opposition to President Trump.
Americans' favorable views of the Democratic Party's brand are at a record low, just 29%.
That's compared to 36% for Republicans.
It is the lowest ever recorded for Democrats in CNN polling going back more than 30 years.
As you can see, the party's numbers dropping a staggering 20 points in just four years.
You sound surprised, guy who looks like a mix of Lori Lightfoot and Ralph Macchio.
It's...
It's Raju Macchio.
Wait till you see your scissor move.
Wait till you see him whack off.
No, no, no.
Wax.
Wax.
Yeah, well, I hired him to sand my floor.
He sucked.
So, another NBC poll shows all-time low approval for Democrats.
27% approved, with only 7% strongly approving.
I don't even know how you do that.
You would think, how do you not get your own party?
Only 7% strongly approve.
This poll goes all the way back to 1990. NBC, known as a bastion of conservatism.
Right, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
You know they got this poll back from CNN. And by the way, they even skewed the polls.
And someone got the results and went...
You're bullshitting.
We've got to make this 3% of 7 somehow.
We've got to cover this?
Can we say the margin of error is plus or minus the whole poll?
Can we just say that?
Now, same time, optimism in the country is at a 20-year high.
This comes from Axios.
44% of people say the country is heading in the right direction.
That's the highest it's been since 2004. Awesome.
Isn't that a great thing?
That's fantastic, but everything you hear on CNN is probably going to be, Donald Trump's numbers are tanking.
People don't like what he's doing on the economy.
Just look at your own numbers.
Right.
But it tells you, you do see an inverse correlation between the Democrats, what they want, and what Americans want.
That's what you're seeing is this chasm.
It is widening.
They are very out of touch.
For anyone who says that Donald Trump didn't come in with a mandate, it becomes clear by the day that he has.
And you are going to see, Gas prices probably come down.
I don't know how much more they can come down.
You're going to see prices stabilize.
You're going to see countries playing ball.
You're going to see America act unashamed of its country.
That's the big cultural shift that we are seeing.
We were browbeaten.
We felt guilty.
Because the left goes, if you're successful, you must be an oppressor.
And if you're an unsuccessful country, you must be oppressed.
Turns out, Canada just sucks.
Now, who knew?
It was the unspoken rule.
It really was.
Because, you know, it had a rough go.
Let's go through, and for people who are new, all the references are available for this show every day.
Link in the description so you can peruse them.
Please do not take my word for it.
Go read the references.
Most of them are left-leaning because we want you to know what the left is saying.
Here are the top reasons that we're seeing this from the left and why you are seeing this.
Being completely incongruent, the left's agenda with the United States, with our best interests.
Reason number one.
The left, everyone thought it was just the economy in this election.
I don't agree.
I think it was a big deal.
But the left has reached so far that they are deeply unpopular as it relates to social issues, and they can't help themselves.
They're addicted to crazy.
Protecting and supporting access to gender-affirming health care is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state to the community.
I made sure that they changed the policy in the state of California so that every transgender Inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desired and need.
She said that out loud.
All of us are living our daily lives trying to simply find space to be who we are, to love who we love, to exist in our schools.
Leah, how did that performance measure up to your expectations coming into this meet tonight?
I didn't have a whole lot of expectations for this meet.
She said me.
I was just...
Happy to be here trying to beat up some brits.
Climate change is having a disproportionate effect on the physical and mental health of black communities.
Safety is the way in which you reopen.
Only people who think that our members...
Are not the people who are impacted like students, like parents, would raise these issues.
And it is important that we train and we understand.
And I want to understand white rage.
And I'm white.
And I want to understand it.
Do you think states have a right to ban gender-affirming health care?
I don't think any state or anybody should have the right to do that.
As a moral question and as a legal question.
I just think it's wrong.
So, remember, when they try and distance themselves, like Gavin Newsom saying, what next?
I've never heard of that in men and women's sports.
You go, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Get back here.
Get back here.
Let's put your face right next to Kamala, right next to Waltz, right next to Biden.
Come on, get in.
Get in.
Scooching for your JCPenney family picture, okay?
Don't let them put some distance or daylight between what they did in this country.
That includes men and women's sports.
That includes the COVID mandates.
That includes transing the kids.
That includes LGBTQ AIP and pornography in children's schools.
That includes the race.
That includes the phobia, the ism, everything they could accuse you of being falsely, and they knew it, for the last several decades.
Don't let them put some distance between who they are and how they are perceived.
They can't stand America.
Reason number two that the left is very unpopular.
It's not just inflation.
We're going to talk about this as it relates to the Houthi.
We're going to talk about this as it relates to ISIS. The left has weakened America, and there have been presidents who have done that, and it kind of ebbs and flows.
But they have championed America putting themselves, putting ourselves, in a weak position.
position, and Americans are tired of it.
Basically.
It was unprovoked, but this is what Russian President Vladimir Putin unleashed on Ukraine.
The latest China-Russia military drills showed that hostility.
is now in the past.
It's a military partnership that's strengthening, thanks in part to both countries' worsening relations with the United States.
Two men investigators say are in the country illegally from Venezuela, are charged with capital murder and the death of Jocelyn Nangarai.
Now, police arresting 33-year-old Sebastián Zapeta, a migrant from Guatemala, who entered the country illegally in 2018. They say he allegedly lit Guam's clothes on fire.
Former Marine is facing a second-degree manslaughter charge in connection to the chokehold death of Neely on an uptown F train.
Our witnesses say Neely, who was on a special watch list for the city's homeless population, was shouting that he was hungry and didn't care if he died.
Yeah, the greatest country on earth was put in a weak position internationally, and you were put in a weakened position personally.
Ah, never-ending supply of funding to Ukraine.
Sure, we're not going to call the rest of these NATO nations to actually honor their contract.
Yeah, tariffs, 250% on Dairy Canada.
We don't care.
We allowed ourselves to be taken advantage of in the name of progressivism.
And then you!
Had to let them loot, give them room to steal, especially if you were in the Bay Area, up to $999 because of something-something racism.
Yeah, we'll have catch and release and no cash bail in New York.
Sure, we'll have a summer of love and let people burn down this entire country.
This happened under the left's watch, and even people who voted Democrat are now saying, you know what, what are we doing here?
The Afghanistan pullout, Russia invading Ukraine, crime in our cities that they tried to claim was down.
Of course, you believed your lying eyes, your lying ears.
Illegals who have no business being here killing citizens, including Lake and Riley and Jocelyn Nungri.
Terrorists attacking our shipping vessels.
We'll get to that.
And this brings us to key reason number three that the left is losing.
Remember when they used to say Republicans had no identity, conservatives didn't, they were just the party of no to Barack Obama?
I don't necessarily agree with that, and there was a valid reason for people to be saying no, because Barack Obama set the stage for Biden.
Everything that you really hate as far as overly powerful, encroaching government to every area of your life, that stage was set by Barack Obama.
But the left really doesn't have an identity.
Progress for the sake of progress leads nowhere when at a certain point the American people reject said progressivism.
And so all they have left to offer is what we now know as Trump derangement syndrome.
They're the party of Trump bad.
You're not gonna be a dictator, are you?
I said, no, no, no, other than day one.
Other than day one, which is another way of saying, yep, it's a frightening new flashpoint in a trend that we have monitored for years.
Or it's a joke.
Joseph Stalin, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Vladimir Putin.
In fact, Stalin won the distinction twice, just like Trump.
Trump warning while discussing the economy that there would be a, quote, bloodbath if he is not re-elected in November.
Trump is mentally incapable of doing the job he was elected to do.
President Trump is a failed leader.
He will go down in history as the worst president ever.
We know who he is to the black press.
The guy who shows up?
How his minions have berated us.
Erratic, frightening, disruptive, and dictator.
We're among the words they used to describe their concerns.
Trump likes, he likes drama and he likes to win.
If he pursues the present course, he will not win.
He will lose.
Does that man have teeth?
He will be seen as Putin's stooge.
Putin's poodle.
Can I say one thing?
What was your reaction?
Well, my reaction was I was at Costco buying, you know, ten boxes of Keurig coffee, and my watch started to buzz, and I got so excited I started leaking a little bit.
Ew.
At your age?
Gross.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let me just rephrase that.
What she meant to say was...
I was buying the least environmentally sustainable and completely unnecessary form of coffee humanly possible, and I pissed my old panties.
But it's Trump's fault.
She went on to say, Mars my blood.
There's four French people who were like, ah, don't say that.
God is.
This is a show for family.
Don't talk like that.
So what is it?
Donald Trump's a dictator.
Donald Trump promised a bloodbath when he was talking about cars and factories going to Mexico.
Donald Trump is incompetent.
Donald Trump is a Russian stooge.
Something something egg prices.
None of this has been consistent.
The only through line you are seeing from the left is, we hate Donald Trump.
As far as policy, what you are seeing is they have consistently weakened the United States position and blamed you for it.
The American worker.
And when asked if the country was heading in the right direction, one immigrant had this to say.
I don't know.
I just got here.
You know what?
Hey, it's okay to not know.
That's right.
If you don't know, that's the right answer.
That is the right answer.
Be honest.
Yeah.
Don't be confidently wrong.
I find myself answering that all the time with my son because he's at the why phase.
Oh, God.
He goes, why?
You're like, ah, because that's, you know, I went to the store and I bought it.
Why?
You're like 10 layers deep.
Oh boy, I have to question supply-side economics.
Explain his desire.
You realize you don't think why enough.
Why?
Because they weren't taking any more kids for adoption.
Why?
Well, some of them are racist.
Let's just move on from the conversation, okay?
That's enough.
You know who's asking why right now?
CNN. Why are these poll numbers so low?
Democrat favorability hits record low.
You know what Donald Trump is doing?
He is forcing them to double down because they just showed poll numbers that they said they wanted more people to stop Donald Trump and to double down on their principles.
Good.
Donald Trump is forcing you to double down on losing issues.
Go for it.
Be like the Don Lemons of the world.
Ask why and not point the finger at yourself and just point the finger at Donald Trump.
See how that goes.
Yeah, I know.
It's something racism, transphobia, homophobia.
Well, homophobia is not really used anymore, I guess.
Not really.
I'm not really afraid anymore.
Well, I don't think anyone's been afraid.
I went through exposure therapy.
You did?
Yeah, you just go to a gay bar and you touch the Richard Simmons tapes.
It's the white privilege shared by all the racists.
Yes, exactly.
That's better than immersion therapy.
Yeah, well, depends.
Oh, wait.
We're talking about homophobia?
No, no.
Immersion therapy is bad.
Immersion therapy.
Very bad.
Here are some reasons, though, for optimism.
On the flip side, okay?
You see people saying, all right, yeah, all-time low approval of the Democrat Party.
Why are people optimistic at a 20-year high?
All right.
Here's the first reason.
Again, from the party of no with no solutions.
Immigration.
Right?
We're looking at all-time low border crossings.
56% of Americans approve of President Trump's handling of the borders.
Now, I don't think that policy should be dictated by polls.
I think policy should be dictated by constitutional parameters and what is right.
It is certainly right for the federal government to protect its citizens from threats, both internal and external.
This falls under the purview of government.
So this is a happy coincidence where what is right lines up with polls.
66% of Americans support deporting illegals.
Remember when we were told that could never happen?
All the libertarian experts wouldn't think they're just going to round them up and deport them?
Yeah.
Maybe.
Kind of the same way we said you can't stop the crossings.
Ah, we just, you know, 5,000 a day and then we'll close the border.
Really?
Yeah.
How about 540 or whatever it was?
Right.
That one day.
This is where we are.
Something else, too.
The left is surprised that Americans believe, hey, maybe the federal government is wasteful.
This brings us to reason number two.
Cutting said waste.
46% of people said that Doge was a good idea.
Taxpayers are happy that they ultimately will be able to keep more of their own money.
That is a fundamental shift, because I've been around since the Bernie Bros were a thing, and they were always talking about taxing the rich.
You could never really pin them down in a number.
It was, give me more from them.
That has shifted to, okay, you know what?
At least let me keep more of my own money.
Let me ask you this.
At the end of the day, let's say you taxed the wealthy even more, and you redistributed it.
Versus simply allowing everyone to keep more of their own money.
So it's the same money at the end of the day.
Which way is less corrosive?
Which way is less intrusive?
Which way permits people to have more freedom?
To be able to manifest their own destiny?
That's a fundamental shift in culture.
I think that's why people are optimistic.
Because they see you can't just tax and spend your way into wealth.
Reason number three...
And I think this is a big thing.
You know, you look, the pendulum kind of swings in the 80s.
Everyone was pro-America.
Everyone was proud.
You know, you kind of had it after 9-11.
Everyone came together.
And then we started teaching kids that the United States is uniquely responsible for all the evils of the world.
I think Americans at a certain point, you know what, all these other countries can be nationalistic.
They can be proud of their nation.
For crying out loud, we have people who come to this nation from nations that they're supposedly fleeing and prop up their...
I don't want to see a Mexican flag in my neighborhood.
Yeah, we let Germans be proud of being German.
Yeah, and that doesn't work out that well.
It did some stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're a history buff, you've got to keep your eye on them.
Yes.
They're untrustworthy.
Killed a lot of Jews.
Oh.
Not sure if you knew that.
Actually happened.
President Trump's message is very pro-American, and I think America is ready for it.
For American citizens, January 20th, 2025 is Liberation Day.
We've been ripped off for years, and we're not going to be ripped off anymore.
No, I'm not going to bend at all.
The United States can't subsidize a country for $200 billion a year.
We don't need...
Their cars.
We don't need their energy.
We don't need their lumber.
And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state.
We don't need anything they have.
The United States of America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation.
We will stand bravely.
We will live proudly.
We will dream boldly.
And nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans.
The future is ours.
And our golden age has just begun.
People love our country again.
It's very simple.
They love our country and they love being in our military again.
So it's a great thing.
The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others.
But others could use it.
We didn't give it to China.
We gave it to Panama and we're taking it back.
And we are going to renew unlimited promise of the American dream.
Every single day we will stand up And we will fight, fight, fight for the country our citizens believe in and for the country our people deserve.
Hear that applause?
And by the way, not even close to the applause he received from that infamous picture when he saved the baby bald eagle while wiping his ass with the Canadian flag.
That was one look.
Look, this is something.
You may not agree with his methods, but the spirit of the message.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
I didn't see that photoshop until we went to air.
I don't know why he has the copper tone baby butts.
He does, yes.
I've never seen a baby bald eagle.
It's cute.
I had no idea.
It's so cute.
It is cute.
I want one.
Can we do that or are they in danger?
They are protected.
They're in danger, but they're protected.
Even the babies?
I can just protect them.
Especially the babies, Gerald.
I still don't know how to identify a hawk versus an eagle.
I don't know which one's bigger.
Can you guys comment below?
I don't know.
The one picking at your eyeball is the hawk.
Yes, okay.
I wanted to start falconry until I realized that they can attack you when you're sleeping.
Falcons are dangerous.
So the conclusion is, it's hate.
The left is the party of hate.
The Democrats are the party of hate.
The progressive wing progresses towards hate.
They get more power and they create more hate.
They sow more division while accusing you.
of doing so.
It's projection.
The left cannot stand America.
It's the same reason that if you go house to house and you see an American flag being waved proudly, you're almost guaranteed that they're a conservative.
You can see Bill Burr's latest stand-up special where he was talking about how it bothers him, how aggravated he is at dumb people who fly the flag.
Well, the reason why is because a lot of people want to show their patriotism because there are so many Americans who seem to be ashamed of this country.
That's not an issue on which we should be divided, so you have to ask yourself, why?
And once you do, that's what explains these latest poll numbers and approval ratings.
The future looks bright for the United States.
That's what I would say.
That's a good thing.
Unless, by the way, it looks bright.
Exception.
It doesn't look so bright if you overpay on taxes.
What does overpaying on your taxes feel like?

Update the app.
Make sure.
So, I don't know, anyone here have very strong opinions on the Houthis other than kill them?
That's pretty much it.
Okay, good.
Yeah, I mean, we're mostly in agreement then?
Yeah.
Okay, good, good, good.
Or hopefully they die of their own accord.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm also for that.
Yeah, starvation's okay too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So...
Drowning, whatever.
Here is, again, where we are.
The left can't stand America.
You've seen what is happening right now.
We'll start with ISIS and then get to the Houthis.
I don't know how you have people who try and maintain these positions.
Send more money to Ukraine.
The people who were the anti-war party.
I don't know where Code Pink has gone.
And then, oh, Donald Trump is a warmonger when he's attacking people who are directly responsible for the deaths and ongoing attacks against American citizens.
Can you explain to me the logic from the left?
And if one of you watching right now leans left, maybe you can explain it to me.
I get why libertarians say, hey, we should never engage in violence and all of it is bad, and that's because a lot of them are delusional.
I don't get how the left tries to present themselves as logically consistent.
So, here's where we are.
The first sort of serious military action of his second term has happened on Thursday.
President Trump killed the ISIS chief Abu Khadija.
U.S. CENTCOM forces announced that on March 13th, it had conducted a precision airstrike in western Iraq, killing ISIS chief of operations Abu Khadija and one other ISIS operative.
Is Abu dead?
Yeah, I mean, probably.
Yeah.
It's unclear if it's confirmed.
Listen, it should be a celebration.
According to U.S. Central Command, he was in charge of operations, logistics, global planning, and finance.
He was a busy terrorist beaver.
Yes, he was.
Keep in mind that President Trump was wearing this while he annihilated the ISIS leader.
And he signed himself.
Yes.
And we actually have an exclusive look at the strike on Khadija.
And I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more.
And to be the man who will walk a thousand, thousand, fall down at your door.
Hello Akbar!
It's a feel-good family flick.
It is.
There's a twist.
Not really.
It's kind of...
It's a short movie.
Yeah, it really is.
You kind of know where it's going, but you want to see how we get there.
National Lampoon's Iraq Vacation.
Yes, exactly.
Oh, don't get me started.
Ernest takes Kabul.
It's a lot of fun.
So, Trump also announced that the United States would take military action against the Houthis.
In Yemen, he posted this on Truth Social.
He said...
Today I have ordered the United States military to launch decisive and powerful military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
To all Houthi terrorists, your time is up and your attacks must stop starting today, not tomorrow, today.
If they don't, hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before.
They don't get IMAX, so this is...
It's true.
I love the all caps for half of that.
It's not light rain.
No, it's not light.
Very heavy rain.
The rain, it's chubby rain.
The rain is chubby.
Name that movie line.
You can comment below.
Rubio, who's probably most improved player that we're seeing as of late, he laid out exactly what this means and what the goal is.
Again, clear and in the best interest of the United States.
This is not a message.
This is not a one-off.
This is an effort to deny them the ability to continue to constrict and control shipping.
And it's just not going to happen.
We're not going to have these guys, these people with weapons, able to tell us where our ships can go, where the ships of all the world can go, by the way.
It's not just the U.S. We're doing the world a favor.
We're doing the entire world a favor by getting rid of these guys and their ability to strike global shipping.
That's the mission here.
And it will continue until that's carried out.
That never happened before.
The Biden administration didn't do that.
All the Biden administration would do is they would respond to an attack.
These guys would launch one rocket.
We'd hit the rocket launcher.
That's it.
This is an effort to take.
Take away their ability to control global shipping in that part of the world.
That's just not going to happen anymore.
So this will continue until that's finished.
It's funny to me that she seems confused.
Right.
Like, is there anything less American than, oh, just a tit-for-tat?
Like, oh, they hit, one will hit another.
You realize this country was, like, we didn't just start a war.
We were petty enough to dump...
All of their tea into the harbor.
I know.
Like, we're going to shoot you, and you know what?
Screw you.
Look at this.
All this tea, gone.
That's so valuable.
Like, ah, we don't give a rat's ass.
We're going to switch to beans, bitch.
We tried the proportional response angle already.
You're going to see how many times.
I was shocked by this number.
We'll get to it in a second.
But now it's the disproportional response.
Which is what I like.
Yes.
I like a very, very violent response.
It's like a glass factory in Yemen.
When dealing with terrorists who are targeting Americans.
To be clear.
So let's go through the claims that you are hearing.
All references available.
Link in the description.
You'll hear this claim from the left and from some libertarians, unfortunately, that President Trump is a neocon tool.
Of the military-industrial complex, Thomas Massey, who I usually like not so much on foreign policy, said, regarding U.S. activity in Yemen, I recently said to watch for a new military engagement to compensate for the pullback in Ukraine.
The military-industrial complex demands about $50 billion a year from our government above and beyond what's necessary to defend our own country.
Well, that's true right now, but here's the truth.
We're not starting anything.
Okay, this is very, very different from Ukraine, and I think that most of you know this.
You have to be really stupid to be in our hallowed halls of Congress and the Senate or academia to act as though there's some kind of equivalency between this and unnecessary wars.
You know, like Ukraine.
So, since September 2023, the Houthi attacks on our Navy...
Okay, the number is 174. On commercial shipping, 145. That's 173 more than there should have been.
Yes, exactly.
Until something like this happened.
I'm sorry, one time on the U.S. Navy, and hell rains down on you.
Yes!
There is no proportional response to this.
How many ship attacks did it take us to get into World War II? Yeah.
How many fake ones did it take to get us into Vietnam?
That's a good point.
Yeah.
These attacks take place.
This is a legitimate role of the military.
Do I think that the military is bloated?
Sure, when you're providing sex change operations to people who have no business being there in the first place.
Yeah.
Do I think that this is an unnecessary use of force when they have attacked us several hundred times and have said that they will continue to do so?
No.
And by the way, I don't believe we should ever enter into conflict unless it directly involves America's interests.
This does.
You can comment if you disagree.
Here's another claim.
That you will see.
That this actually doesn't even help America, and for some reason it benefits China.
You see this a lot.
You can see that up there in the collage, the overlays.
Here's the truth.
No, no.
Wrong.
That's wrong.
So a lot of aspects of trade as it relates to the United States have been impacted.
Auto imports, textiles, agricultural exports.
Partners like South Korea, Japan, they also depend pretty heavily on the Suez Canal.
To be clear.
And for those of you who don't remember, in March 2024, the Houthi already promised China and Russia free navigation through the Red Sea, whereas right now they're saying, but no Americans!
Well, that doesn't sound super friendly, to be clear.
There's the next claim that you're going to see, and there's a faction that has sort of been growing quite a bit, that President Trump is something, something, something Jews.
Oh, boy.
Doing this for Israel.
This is way more prevalent than I want to admit.
Now, look, I understand.
Criticism of the Israeli government and some of what they do is valid.
Fine!
My opinion is I want Hamas wiped off the face of the map.
I think it's probably going to come to a one-state solution.
The state will be Israel.
Do we give too much money to Israel?
That can be argued.
Yes.
And certainly when you understand that we're sending money to Qatar, who funds Hamas and Hezbollah, I think if we just pinched that valve and sent money to none of the nations, including Israel and all the nations who want to wipe it off the face of the map, hey, they'd be better off.
There's a valid argument to be made.
But something, something Houthi rebels were only attacking them because Jews...
I don't understand this.
They're attacking our Navy, the American Navy, our sailors.
They've killed civilian cargo shipping crew members.
None of them were Israeli.
They are damaging shipping on a global level.
And even worse, they give stupid press conferences like this in which their leader looks like a guile in Street Fighter if you hit the X button and it changed colors.
Oh wow.
I don't know about you, but I just was intimidated 0% No, I don't take that guy seriously.
By the way, he included weird details like winged missiles.
Like, that matters.
He said ballistic missiles before, so that shows technological prowess.
Fine, but we have the winged missiles and the non-winged missiles.
I think it's just bragging that, look at our arsenal, you know?
We have missiles that look like the Nerf ball that's like a bat, but it has wings and goes...
We have one that closes in the dark so you can play without the light.
That's exactly right.
Also, we have internet and cricket.
Wireless or the game?
The left has gone right.
Well, it's a game that takes like two weeks to play.
It's the most ridiculous game ever, and anyone who makes cricket their national sport is inferior.
So, we now see the left pro-Ukraine, right?
You're just a coward.
You're astute for Putin.
But now they're back to being anti-war as it relates to dealing with Houthi terrorists, the rebels who are killing Americans.
Here's Brian Krasenstein, one of the twins.
He said, I was promised less war, not more.
Shut up.
Well, why didn't you cry about it?
First off, there still is less war.
Yeah.
Hate that guy.
There is less war, to be clear.
I mean, it's not like Biden wasn't doing anything as it related to Yemen.
He just sucked at it.
Also, eliminating these Houthi fighters will equate less war.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, that's 174 naval ships.
Okay, but we don't have those naval ships be attacked.
Yeah.
Oh, that'd be nice.
That's a novel idea.
Brooklyn Dad wrote, You MAGA MFers said Trump was a no-wars president.
We never said that.
And he's already bombing Yemen in less than two months.
You fell for it again, morons!
You can go just to a couple weeks ago where he was demanding more money for Ukraine.
That's right, he definitely was.
We've never said Donald Trump was a no-wars president.
No.
We said he is the most anti-war president in modern American history, and he's been very clear that he will use it as a tool if people harm Americans.
You harm someone who is not American, you are having a war that doesn't involve the United States, we are not going to enter into it.
So that we can...
Save our reserves.
We can be prepared to hit you with the unholy hellfire that you deserve if you so much as scratch a hair on the head of an American.
Not no wars, less wars.
By the way, just to add another person to this, never let it be said that Jackson Hinkle can't come down on the wrong side of an issue.
Just posting that.
He's pro-Yemen?
Of course!
He's pro-Houthi?
He's anti-everything America stands for.
Find an enemy of America and he will side with them.
By the way, that's way worse of a Nazi salute than Elon.
It is.
He's holding it.
Oh, it's got the fist.
He's sticking it.
Yeah.
He's fisting it, really.
Power, I guess?
I don't know.
Look, Houthi terrorism is bad for everybody, and it's really, really bad for Americans.
Again, the left is simply anti-American.
They can't stand America.
Ukraine?
They deserve money, even though it's one of the money-laundering capitals of the world.
We've sent them more money than all of you.
They are saying that there's no valid claim to say, hey, why doesn't Europe step up?
We've given them more than all of Europe, and by the way, we don't need to enter into this war.
There is no valid argument to be made, according to the left, that we should maybe start...
Start putting a stop to that funding.
However, there can be no valid claim to the left that we should take out terrorists who have targeted and killed and stated that they will continue to do so against American citizens.
Can you guys help me make that make sense?
I really have a tough time with it.
And this spring, did you have something, Noodles?
I was just going to say, this was Soleimani in this first term, wasn't it?
It's not necessarily a war to...
It actually is anti-war.
There's a difference between going and taking out somebody in charge and slowing down the operation or stopping an operation, hopefully, and doing a full-scale invasion.
You take out these Houthi fighters, now you avoid a full-on naval battle.
That's what they would like.
These warmongers would love to have the Houthis escalate this.
Escalates to the point where you have to have a full-scale conflict.
Oh, now we've got to order more planes.
Now we've got to order more missiles.
Or you just nip it in the hairy terrorist bud.
Yes.
I mean, basically, the other thing that you're offering is, okay, we just have to wait until they kill more U.S. sailors or maybe actually sink the U.S. vessel?
Yeah.
Is that really the argument that you got?
Again, Donald Trump has forced them to be on the wrong side of another issue really quickly.

No need to go anywhere else.
Speaking of full-scale invasion, let's talk about our border.
Let's talk about the gang members who've been flooding into the United States, or as the left referred to it, a figment of your imagination.
So we've seen the left, they oppose us attacking terrorists who are killing American citizens, soldiers, and saying they will continue to do so.
We see the left, of course, upset as it relates to Doge and saving the American taxpayer dollars.
We see the left upset in Donald Trump reducing our spending, for example.
With Ukraine in a never-ending war, they're upset about that.
Okay, but can there be any justification?
Is there an argument to be made as to how allowing unfettered illegal immigration is beneficial to you, the American taxpayer, the American worker?
Because here we are.
You guys know this.
There was a judge.
Who blocked the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport.
This was used to deport MS-13 and TDA members.
I believe it's Tren de Aragua.
A lot of these are Venezuelan gangs.
So this act was used to deport violent felons.
And a judge blocked the administration from deporting violent felons.
Let's get into their argument here.
The Trump administration says it sent hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, raising questions about whether the deportations violate an order from a federal judge.
Yesterday, the judge temporarily blocked the administration from deporting non-U.S. citizens under the Alien Enemies Act.
He also ordered two planes carrying non-citizens that were in the air during the hearing to return to the U.S. immediately.
I don't know.
For those of you who haven't been paying attention, President Trump ignored it.
Well, sort of.
I bet you he waited to answer that call, like, tell him I'm in the bathroom!
Oh, no way!
The plane's already over international waters!
I guess they should shut the big one?
The radios aren't working.
I don't know.
Oh, no!
They shouldn't be using Vonage!
Now, the plane's on Sunday, touchdown in El Salvador, and it's a sight.
it's good I love that those are violent hardened gang members who are actually walking in the huddled fetal position and I've never seen that, but you know that they got some good swats on that plane.
Because, you know, typically they walk around straight and they're like, okay, okay, okay, I'm done, man, I'm done.
I'll go in the south, please.
They throw one guy out of the plane.
Anybody else?
And this is a good example of Donald Trump.
It rewards people who are good to us, allies, and those who are not.
It's the carrot and it's the stick.
So the El Salvador president, Bukele, wrote this, that the United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.
I don't know what an El Salvador accent is, so I don't want to insult them.
You don't want to screw that up, yeah.
As always, I'll do Spanish.
As always, we will continue advancing in the fight against organized crime.
But this time we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable as obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place.
All in a single action.
May God bless El Salvador and may God bless the United States.
It's my favorite.
It's the actual Spanish one.
It really is.
Sorry, El Salvador.
And so what you're seeing happen right now is, of course, the usual suspects on the left.
They're having a conniption fit.
You can see that they're furious about this because for some reason these violent gang members are entitled to constitutional rights here in the United States even though we have no idea how many people they've killed, raped, robbed.
No clue.
Pillaged.
And the media, of course, is doing what they do.
They're playing these word games.
Right?
And this is what they did in the past, saying, well, you know, undocumented workers.
In this case, they're actually omitting the fact that these are criminal gang members.
Just hours after Donald Trump tried to use an 18th century law to deport five Venezuelans, a federal judge halted Trump's order.
The federal judge blocked the administration from deporting any non-citizens under the president's Alien Enemies Act.
A federal judge is blocking a new order from the president to deport some immigrants.
President Trump has invoked a wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to help speed up mass deportations in our country.
He could be invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The president saying this would pave the way for faster mass deportations of those in the country illegally.
You know what else is from the 1700s?
Freedom of speech.
The second...
Come on!
Freedom of press, the one you're using right now to try to minimalize the act by saying it's from the 18th century.
They'll say, like, this is a slippery slope.
If you deport violent...
Violent criminals right now, gang members, what's next?
More of them?
I hope so.
Freedom of speech.
I hope so.
I love how this morning we saw on CNN it said, alleged...
Gang members.
Yeah.
Oh, what's the alleged?
The MS-13 tattoo on his face?
Yeah.
They're all self-identified guys.
Yeah.
They're quite proud of it.
I don't think they're going to deny it.
The fact that he bragged to like 19 people in his neighborhood and showed them documented proof.
Like, this is the picture where I kill him, put his head on a turtle, right?
That's cool.
How do you know it was Trendy Aragua?
Well, he had TDA on his knuckles.
Yes.
Yes.
And his header on X said, I kill people for fun.
So we thought, ah!
What do you think?
Is this an admission of guilt?
Close enough.
Someone from the White House said that this is going to be headed to the Supreme Court.
We're going to win.
Who's right?
Okay.
Another key fact here.
All references available.
Link in the description.
The Alien Enemies Act of 1789 is still relevant and should be applied here.
Let me read it for you.
It says, Whenever there is any invasion or predatory incursion, perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, and the president makes public proclamation of the event, All natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of a hostile nation or government, being of the age of 14 years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies.
Good!
Okay?
So, I guess the technical argument from the left is, well, you're a foreign nation!
Okay, well, Maduro's Venezuela, they facilitated TDA gang, to be clear.
This doesn't just exist in a vacuum.
They're effectively an arm of the government.
But transnational gangs like MS-13, they're operating as nations in and of themselves with their own rules, their own codes of conduct, and they're taking advantage, or at least were, of our porous border.
It is almost like this alien act was designed for this.
Yeah, MS-13 has their own treasurer.
Yeah.
They also have their own secretary of turtle heads.
It's a very weird one, but they're very big on putting heads on turtles.
I don't know why they do so much of it.
You can just intimidate me by being like, I'm going to cut off your head.
I don't care what you do with it afterward.
Put it on a turtle.
It's for a good scene.
I'm not going to see it.
Yeah, exactly.
I guess it'll strike fear in the hearts of other people.
Here's a key fact.
Number two.
I think we're at number two.
The federal courts, they have no business, no authority to do this, to be clear.
This was made pretty clear in the U.S. versus Curtis Wright.
The president is the sole organ of the federal government in the field of international relations.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think the Founding Fathers intended for one out of around 900 federal judges to be able to unilaterally stop the president from doing his job?
Now, if you say, hey, this is a check against the abuse of executive authority.
Okay, fine.
But this check is basically an abuse of executive authority, only it's one out of 900 judges.
I don't think the founding fathers could imagine that there'd be 900 judges.
Well, that's probably true.
That's probably true, too.
But also, it's very clear when it comes to foreign policy, the president is the one person that has control over that.
And not to mention, by the way, that this judge did not have any federal authority whatsoever.
Like, they didn't have the authority to turn these flights around.
They were international waters at the time.
Yeah.
The El Salvador president, Bukele, tweeted.
That's awesome.
Oopsie, too late.
And by the way, remember we're trying to get rid of the guy from Columbia University?
What's his name?
The judge basically said we have to keep him here so that I have jurisdiction, which is kind of making the point they were outside of the United States, no jurisdiction anymore.
Right.
You could argue.
Well, this just comes back.
Now the spirit of it is, why?
Why would the left...
You look at it in its totality.
They're outraged at strikes against Houthi rebels who are killing Americans.
They're outraged at trimming back the federal government, for example, the IRS or USA that was corrupt.
