	That actually happened.
	So I thought that this had gone viral.
	And then I realized that we had just seen it and were introduced.
	It's the most tone deaf, disturbing, and hilarious disaster I think I've seen in online content.
	And there's a Guatemala first Congress lady.
	She says that she's a Guatemalan before American.
	What point do you get hung for treason?
	Comment below.
	That's the question of the day.
	What constitutes treason?
	What constitutes a good old hanging tree?
	I'm not saying that we should, but we should.
	And welcome, of course, those coming in from Bongino Army.
	As I understand it, always Bongino Army.
	Coming in today from Vincent, we welcome you to the show.
	After us is Tim Poole.
	Vincent comes from Vincente, which in Latin and all the Romance languages are based in Latin, translates to roughly self-imposed dead end.
	I think this is Runner's course.
	On with the show.
	You woke up this morning, you got yourself a mug.
	Mama always said that you'd be the chosen one.
	She said, you've one in a million, but down to all I strive.

	You got back up and shine.
	You got back up and shine.
	You need your media never tells you the comedy trash hole and you can't change my mind.

	The media never tells you the left is always wrong.
	But for one million, we got back with his shine.
	You too, there's a common trash hole and you can't change my mind.

	Another question for you: if you could bring one famous person back from the dead, Jesus.
	Who would it?
	Don't use the Lord's name in Vain Gerald.
	Who would it be?
	Who would it be?
	Turns out he already did that.
	You can't say Tupac because we have enough drama fags around as it is.
	It's a live show weekday's 11 a.m.
	We're just streaming exclusively to Rebel because why would we stream this to YouTube?
	All right, Captain Morgan, you're looking down.
	What's going on?
	I'm fine.
	I was finding out where the rest of the pen went.
	Oh, all right.
	Well, that's all good.
	You feel good?
	Yeah, you?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, did you have a stroke just maybe?
	Oh, that Wendy Williams.
	Let's play that again in Mug Club.
	That's still one of the funniest things ever when she had that stroke on there.
	I know.
	Williams did.
	Oh, yeah.
	Dressed as a sequin statue of liberty.
	Yeah, now she's in like a hospital.
	She's like hospitalized.
	She is now?
	She's like in a conservatory.
	Yeah.
	What?
	Well, then it's not funny.
	No, it's kind of sad, actually.
	Well, back then, she wasn't.
	She had her show for like another nine years.
	All right.
	She's got pen caps and straws.
	And Mr. Buzzkill here Friday, Saturday, August 22nd and 23rd at Helium Comedy Club in Portland, Oregon.
	Yes, it's the Buzzkill tour.
	Yes, it's the Buzzkill Eagle.
	There's a food festival in Portland that weekend.
	Really?
	I'm going to be so exhausted.
	Let's have some fun.
	Skip your show.
	Go get some food.
	And the audience will understand.
	Josh will step on his own jokes during a show.
	Speaking of Buzzkill, so we all know Sydney Sweeney.
	That's what I was doing.
	And look, I guess there's a conversation to be had.
	Is she the hottest woman ever?
	She's just a pretty woman.
	A very pretty woman.
	But let's just be honest.
	The Overton window has been moved and enlarged because Lizzo has decided to jump on the Sidney Sweeney trend.
	And it's going about exactly how you would expect it to.
	Let's watch this.
	And I don't want to interrupt.
	I'll just allow you to enjoy the beauty.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	Out of my face.
	Ho, give me some space.
	It's way too hot to be honest.
	I'm sweating out of my lace.
	Don't need no bottle service.
	We pulled up with our drinks.
	Trunk full of that ace, trunk full of that hen.
	If we ain't got no waffle house, we pulling up to the denny's.
	I'm going to give him a great slam.
	He's pulling off of the panties.
	The way he hit from the back, I might give him one of my grannies.
	Did this for the culture?
	That left right and that winded over.
	Got scissors and docher.
	I ate that and let's do it over.
	What did I told you?
	I'm going into October.
	Niggas acting like the fun is over.
	Niggas acting like summer's over.
	Well, summer's over because you blocked out the sun.
	And what are you doing?
	Oh, just trying to hide my boner.
	And you had that point too with her.
	Yeah.
	Well, she puts on her pants.
	Well, Sidney Sweeney's doing it because Sidney Sweeney, she's like copying her.
	Sydney's like putting on her pants.
	Oh, I wasn't dressed up.
	I'm in bed, and this is what I look.
	And Lizzo's putting her pants on like I do.
	Like she has to lay down to put them on.
	Yes.
	It's a medical necessity.
	Yeah, it's not exactly the same thing.
	You're going to have to get the jaws of life to pry them off of her.
	Let's go back and just play this.
	And let's examine the lyrics.
	All right.
	Out of my face.
	Okay.
	Ho, give me some space.
	Pause.
	Like, why then?
	Give you some space, like warehouse space, flex space, a tarmac, outer space.
	Let's keep playing.
	It's way too hot up in my lace.
	Pause.
	That's because you have a medical problem.
	It's a strain for your heart to pump, so you tend to sweat more.
	Sweat a little extra.
	Yeah, your body's trying to tell you something, Lizzo.
	playing.
	Button it.
	If we ain't got no waffle house, we pulling up to the Denny's.
	Pause.
	What?
	Wait, wait, wait.
	First off, there are.
	No, Joe, let me take this.
	So there are many other options, but it just shows you the compulsion to eat at four in the morning.
	It's like if there's no waffle, I was like, go to, I gotta go to Denny's.
	And I'm, and the employees.
	What's the next line?
	I eat food at will.
	I don't tip on my bill.
	That's right.
	Meet me in the back and I'll fight you by the till.
	Yes.
	And every employee at Denny's immediately quit.
	Keep playing.
	Give him a grand slam.
	He's pulling off of the panties.
	The way he hits in the back, I might give him one of my grannies.
	You're not going to be upset if I call you a whore, are you?
	Because you're saying you're talking about an exchange of goods or services for sex.
	Also, I mean, pulling off your panties, I mean, the person would have to have a wingspan of an albatross.
	Like, you'd have to have Phelps pulling off those panties as an assistant.
	Just all right, keep playing.
	Come on, it's a love song.
	Yes.
	For the culture, that left right and that bend it over.
	Got scissors and dolta.
	I ate that, now let's do it over.
	Pause.
	No one is surprised that you ate that.
	That is the least, the least twist turn of events in any song ever.
	I get it.
	I know, Joe.
	I'll take this.
	Keep playing.
	Told you, I'm going into October.
	Niggas acting like the fun is over.
	Niggas acting like summer's over.
	I like her natural hair.
	Yeah.
	It's a different song than Ryan Adams after the morbidly obese land whales of summer have gone.
	Remember when Sidney Sweeney did the same ad but with cornrows?
	Yes, exactly.
	Like she came back from a crappy cruise and sang about her first choice for dining, Waffle House, then going to dinner.
	You know, yeah, she casually lay off Waffle House and Denny's.
	Her preference is Waffle House.
	Her safeties, Denny.
	That's what I'm saying.
	That makes sense, though.
	Like me with Harvard, my safety.
	Now, I don't know if Lizzo has a great sense of humor or just doesn't understand because she posted this on her official account five days ago that if Democrats won the election.
	Is she funny?
	This is kind of funny.
	But then she, her caption is: My jeans are black.
	But she's wearing blue jeans.
	So do you think she thinks it's just spelled G-E-N-E?
	It's like there's a language barrier, but it's just an IQ barrier.
	I think that she's there.
	I think she's on the cusp of a joke.
	I don't know if she's on.
	She's on the crust of a joke.
	She's on the cheese-filled crust of a joke.
	How did she make her face look fatter in that picture?
	Well, you know, it's all the same.
	Because she didn't do it.
	Somebody else did that.
	She made the picture, to be fair.
	Yeah.
	No, someone else made that.
	I don't know.
	She found clothes, a pose, and lighting that made her face fatter.
	She JD Vance memed herself.
	Yes, she did.
	Which causes me to believe maybe she's funny.
	I don't know.
	I doubt it.
	But she could be.
	I have no idea.
	Someone who plays the pan flute naked at the Jefferson Memorial, whatever the hell it is.
	I get that none of that is factually correct, but you wanted to meet in the general joke.
	She played a flute.
	Was it?
	She played Madison's flute.
	Madison.
	It plays Madison's flute.
	It's a million-dollar flute, I guess.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	In the thong.
	I thought it was great.
	Yeah.
	Classy.
	Sequence.
	So, anyways, this is probably brilliant.
	It's brilliant.
	Sidney Sweeney, American.
	Like, you cannot pay for this kind of advertising.
	And so telling American Eagle, hey, hold my bud light.
	That's foreshadowing.
	Levi's just decided to release their new ad with Beyoncé.
	They're just like you.
	Call me Pretty Little Pain.
	Was she putting diamonds in the dryer at a laundromat?
	Rhinestones.
	Rhinestones.
	Rhinestones, Steven.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	It's science.
	Already, none of this makes sense.
	It's like scent beads.
	Some people put, you know, like the downy scent beads.
	Some people put rhinestones.
	A bucket?
	Like it's a petting zoo of scent beads.
	It's a bucket and a mop, rhinestone on my.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Okay, she's putting right.
	Well, by the way, she is going to void the warranty on that speed queen dryer.
	I thought those recorders.
	I was like, she's doing it wrong.
	Yeah, she is doing it wrong.
	You put it in a top.
	It says, do not attempt on the bottom there very tight.
	Guys, you're missing the point.
	You're missing the point.
	Beyonce invented country music.
	Let's continue.
	Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom.
	No.
	Okay.
	So here's the problem.
	This is why it's like Sidney Sweeney, she was just dressed, you know, in jeans.
	And you could say Canadian tuxedo, most people don't wear that, but it's something that you've seen people wear.
	In this case, she's dressed like Lloyd Christmas at the resort.
	Like, this is not, it's not something people can relate to.
	Hey, a classic muscle car and someone wearing jeans, that's a throwback.
	In this case, she's wearing rhinestones, putting them in a dryer and dressed like a cartoon character.
	But let's continue.
	They're just like you.
	All of it.
	Put his pants down?
	Yeah.
	What?
	Guarantee you she can't ride that motorcycle.
	No, she's putting rhinestones in the dryer.
	Well, you think she's going to know how to use that class.
	I loved it.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Are you just being a counterculturalist?
	He knows.
	He thinks Lizzo's hot.
	He thinks that's a run-of-the-mill daily outfit with rhinestones up the side of your lower back.
	Everything about it's like.
	Hey, come on.
	Gerald used to wear those jeans.
	It's like Sidney Sweeney, American Eagle, said, you know what, we got to get, we got to get away from all this LGBTQ AIP and all this stuff that's completely out of touch.
	Let's just create something that resonates with middle Americans, right?
	People who wear jeans.
	And then Levi's like, we got to do the same thing.
	Beyonce, you know how to reach the American middle class.
	She's like, yeah, I'm thinking like Ryan Stones and I'm banging Timothy Oliphant and ride a motorcycle.
	They're like, brilliant.
	I'm just going to look at him.
	His pants are going to fall down in the box.
	Yeah, people can copy paste themselves onto you in this.
	So it's just not the same thing.
	It's still going for the glamour.
	It's still going for the Hollywood feel.
	It's the opposite.
	It's an anti-American Eagle type ad, which, by the way, was anti-this kind of ad.
	It's like inception of horrible advertising.
	Somewhere, the real Don Draper is swallowing strychnine.
	But here is CNN reacting to this ad this morning.
	Ads for jeans have caused quite store lately.
	Now Levi's getting in on the airport.
	Because of you.
	Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom.
	Denimon, denim, denim, denim.
	Levi is teaming up with Queen Bee to release the Denim Cowboy, a perfect shit.
	And the cowboy Carter singer has a song titled Levi's Jeans.
	By the way, any man who refers to her as Queen Bee, you're gay.
	You're a gay man if you say Queen Bee.
	And I found that one out the hard way because I had a man get mad and say, you shouldn't insult Queen Bee like that.
	I know exactly what you're talking about.
	And it took me a minute to process the gayness where I was like, oh, you're one of them.
	Yeah, well, now you know not to say that to me again.
	Here's what it is.
	Here's what it comes down to, authenticity.
	Look, Sidney Sweeney is not claiming, and that's why I say Girl Next, really pretty version of Girl Next Door.
	It doesn't look to me like a supermodel, but pretty version of Girl Next Door.
	It's relatable.
	It's about authenticity.
	It seems like something she would wear.
	She would wear jeans.
	She probably would like an old muscle car.
	There's nothing authentic about this.
	Levi's is trying to sell to the heartland.
	She's not authentically country.
	She doesn't know country music, Beyonce.
	Her music was not actual country, and now she's trying to act like she hangs out at line dancing bars with Timothy Oliphant after fornicating with him, even though we all know that she's married to a former crack dealer.
	So none of it resonates, and they'll wonder why it's not success.
	How much you want to bet, they will say it's because of racism.
	That's what they're hoping for.
	They're hoping to dine out on that controversy.
	Let me give you some numbers here.
	And I can't necessarily say that correlation equals causation, but American Eagle, right after Sidney Sweeney, the ad, the stock jumped 17%.
	Levi's, that ad, I believe, just came out yesterday or the day before, stock declined by 0.28%.
	Now, that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that Levi's is done.
	I'm just saying, in comparison, that's 17.28% less.
	What it does mean is that they're not having a big jump.
	Right.
	They're not having a huge drop, like a big opposite comparison, but it's not jumping like American Eagle did.
	No, no.
	How much you want to comment?
	How much do you want to bet they blame this on racism when it doesn't work?
	Right.
	It's like you put a pretty white girl in an ad and all of a sudden it flies.
	And I don't think Beyonce's ugly.
	I just, it's not my type.
	Fine, whatever.
	So, you know, put a pretty black girl in an ad and it doesn't work.
	And it's like, well, no, it's just, it's a stupid ad.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, you want to just pick one.
	How about one is in their 20s and one is in their 40s or 50s, however old Beyonce is.
	And it's not the authenticity part.
	How about that?
	How about the target market for American Eagle or Levi's typically isn't Beyonce and or Jay-Z album purchasers?
	Like, there's some crossover, but Levi Levi's.
	Nothing wrong with Levi's.
	They got a nice, they got a nice wide seat.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	But if they go the woke route and go, oh, it's because of racism, guess what?
	You're going to see another Bud Light.
	Now, this is nowhere near as bad as the rock bottom that I'm about to.
	Every now and then we introduce you to new, whether they're exclusive because of Mug Club undercover or just something that a lot of people haven't caught.
	Jim Acosta.
	He was at CNN.
	He's not now.
	And we see this a lot.
	Yeah.
	We see this a lot where they go online and they can't compete in the online space, right?
	Without the budget, without the marketing, without this fake aura of success, they crash and burn.
	And then when they don't have advisors and they don't have people who sort of act as filters, you get to see really who they are and what kind of ideas they bring to the table.
	Back to Jim Acosta.
	What did Jim Acosta think was a good idea?
	And what I'm about to tell you is a real thing.
	Jim Acosta interviewed an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a kid who was murdered in Parkland, Florida at a school shooting and thought this was going to go over well.
	So this right now, it only has 5,900 views, like 100 comments, has 301 likes, 708 dislikes.
	Here is Jim Acosta.
	And let's just do away with this idea.
	Like, oh, both sides politicize it.
	No, no, no.
	Can you name me a single conservative Republican ever who interviewed a dead person through AI to try and push for constitutional carry?
	The left has no shame whatsoever.
	So here's Jim Acosta Interviewing an AI version of a child, now grown up through AI, who was killed in Parkland, Florida, in order to push a gun control agenda.
	It's as bad as you think.
	Today is August the 4th.
	That happens to be the birthday of my first guest, Joaquin Oliver, died in the Parkland school shooting in Florida back in 2018.
	But his real parents, Manuel and Patricia, have created an AI version of their son to deliver a powerful message on gun violence.
	Manny asked me if I'd like to be the first reporter to have the chance to interview Joaquin.
	Joaquin, it's Jim Acosta.
	I was wondering if you could tell me what happened to you.
	I appreciate your curiosity.
	I was taken from this world too soon due to gun violence while at school.
	It's important to talk about these issues so we can create a safer future for everyone.
	What would you like to know more about?
	Joaquin, I would like to know what your solution would be for gun violence.
	Great question.
	I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement.
	We need to create safe spaces for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard.
	It's about building a culture of kindness and understanding.
	What do you think about that?
	I think that's a great idea, Joaquin.
	What do you think about punctuation?
	Now, of course, I know you are like many people who believed it to be tasteless, especially after Acosta interviewed the shooter who turned out to be a hologram of Tupac.
	So this seems to be, yeah, Tupac.
	And then the following segment was him interviewing Tranny Sr.
	Wences.
	The point is, he's just doing this on a shoestring budget.
	Pre-surgery.
	Pre-surgery.
	Like, here's the thing, too.
	And people talk about Alex Jones and they talk about Sandy Hook and all that.
	Like, there is truth to the fact that if the parents decided that this was a good idea, these are people who are using the death of their child to politicize this whole issue and to make horrible points, by the way, in a very, very uncomfortable way.
	This is the left.
	They're okay doing this.
	Don't ever let them say that you're standing on the graves of children because he's literally interviewing a, well, not would-be, a dead child grown up in the form of the creepiest AI that you can imagine.
	And the left thinks that this is going to convince you to give up your firearms.
	By the way, he made the interview even more awkward.
	It goes on and gets worse.
	Guac, I want to know what your favorite basketball team is.
	I'd probably go with the Miami Heat.
	They have such a passionate fan base in an exciting place.
	Tell me about you.
	Do you have a favorite basketball player?
	Oh, yeah.
	I definitely like LeBron James.
	Of course, you do.
	You like him?
	LeBron is incredible.
	His skills on the court and his leadership off it are truly inspiring.
	He's made such a huge impact in the game and people talk.
	Definitely.
	Whenever LeBron is playing, I always have to watch him.
	What about you?
	Do you have a favorite movie?
	82 games a year you watch.
	Favorite show?
	Oh, I'm a big Star Wars fan for sure.
	Do you have a favorite character?
	Oh, it's got to be Luke Skywalker.
	I love Luke Skywalker.
	What about you?
	Luke Skywalker is a classic hero.
	His journey from a farm boy to a Jedi is so inspiring.
	I'd say Yoda is one of my favorites too.
	What do you love most about Luke?
	I like that Luke became the hero.
	He came from a very small planet and he eventually became a Jedi and saved the day.
	Now, either Jim Acosta knows nothing about basketball or media and is pandering, just picking the first, like, would you like a basketball?
	Yeah, I like LeBron.
	What do you look to Star Wars?
	Who do you like?
	Luke Skywalker?
	Either he's just pandering or he is the most boring, clueless human being alive.
	I wish I was dead when I was watching this.
	And showing that AI is becoming more and more lifelike.
	After the interview, Joaquin AI killed himself.
	So that is how this whole thing ended.
	And you would think, look, we try things sometimes here.
	We're like, ah, okay, that didn't work.
	So you'd think that Jim Acosta would go like, this is really uncomfortable.
	This has gone poorly.
	And you know what?
	We'll get him next time.
	But instead, he decided to continue.
	And this is why the left loses, because you can see that he's actually earnest here.
	He talked with Joaquim's father and actually remarked how lifelike what you just saw, the AI, how authentic it felt.
	I have to say, I'm kind of speechless as to the technology there.
	I mean, it was so insightful.
	And I really felt like I was speaking with Joaquin.
	It's just a beautiful thing.
	You knew him?
	You knew him?
	Because to me, that didn't sound like anybody in particular.
	It sounded like an AI bot who knew where Joaquin lived, Florida, and said, oh, Miami Heat, and then knew some facts about Star Wars because it's on the internet.
	Why would you say that about AI, Josh?
	Do you have opinions on AI as well, Gerald?
	That's exactly what it was.
	Michael Jordan played basketball.
	He was good.
	Has best career statistics.
	Wayne Gretzky.
	Insightful?
	Super weird.
	Insightful?
	I like the Miami Heat.
	I like LeBron.
	Luke Skywalker.
	We should ban guns.
	That's what this whole thing is.
	Yes.
	Using effectively an animated corpse.
	This is why the left loses, guys.
	Please, Jim Acosta, please keep doing this.
	And you know what?
	Welcome to the show.
	I would gladly have you on.
	We're not going to just have, we're not going to just go just to defend this.
	I just want you, Mr. Acosta, to pitch to me, treat it like it's idiot tank, why this was a good idea and what you hoped to achieve.
	And also, what are your plans for the future?
	Who else will you interview?
	No one can tell the future.
	That's the beauty of life, Josh.
	None of us have a crystal ball.
	Gerald, what are your plans for tomorrow?
	Thanks, Stephen Grocker.
	This is such a weird thing because I've seen this technology used in other ways that are actually kind of interesting.
	Well, not necessarily better.
	There's not a whole lot better that you can do with it, but I think bring out Megan would be better.
	That letter that Gerald wrote to that gay camp was great.
	Exactly, that's true.
	That worked out.
	Don't forget our slogan.
	Don't tell the grown-ups.
	It really felt like it was Gerald.
	No, but my whole point is, the thing that freaks me out the most about this, I've seen this before, so it doesn't freak me out as much.
	It's weird, whatever.
	I get it.
	It's uncomfortable for sure.
	Did he even have those views?
	Or is this just something that you plugged into him?
	I know that people are probably like, duh, he probably didn't.
	But for me, that's the most offensive part.
	Yeah.
	You're using this person to maybe say stuff they would never even actually say or have ideas they never even actually had.
	So it's not even authenticated.
	Well, the real, the real issue here is the gaslighting from the left.
	So whenever there's a mass shooting, right?
	And you've heard me talk about this where I say, I wish I could just come out and say, hey, my heart goes out to the families of those affected thoughts and prayers, of course, and it's a time for mourning.
	But I can't do it because before the bodies assume room temperature, they are pushing for gun control.
	And then they try and accuse you of politicizing it when you go, no, hold on a second.
	94% of mass shootings occur in gun-free zones.
	No, wait, hold on a second.
	500,000 to 3 million defensive uses of firearms every year.
	It's not even remotely close when you compare it in a ratio to homicide.
	Hold on, we need to be honest about it.
	They go, why are you politicizing us?
	Why don't you care about the dead children?
	This is the, when they say both sides, politicize it, genuinely, come in.
	Can you think of anything this egregious from anyone on the right as far as interviewing an AI version of a dead child to push an agenda?
	And that's not rhetoric.
	If there is, I'd like to know so that I can mock that person as well.
	And for those of you still wondering, yeah, Josh.
	I was like, can you imagine if somebody from the right had taken Lake and Riley?
	Yeah.
	And put her in an AI generator to push, to push deportations and immigration policies.
	Right.
	It'd be sickening.
	Of course.
	You can deepfake a politician saying something egregious, but they can defend themselves.
	Yeah, somebody, yes, especially politicians.
	You're up.
	Dude, you're up for grabs.
	You put yourself out there as a politician.
	You are allowed to be made fun of.
	Yada yada.
	I got it.
	Just somebody like that, just a kid killed in a school shooting.
	And then we're graded as less accurate by whatever that media watchdog thing because we have jokes.
	They say ad hominem reduces your accuracy.
	Well, we provide actual references, and we never would, actually, that's not true.
	I absolutely would interview an AI dead person if I thought it would be funny enough.
	I actually think we need to interview the AI version of the dead pedophile that Cal Rittenhouse shot.
	That Rosenbaum?
	There he is.
	Let's input that.
	You know what?
	We're going to do that tomorrow.
	Yeah, but he's a piece of crap.
	Yeah, I know.
	Pedophiles are also not off limits.
	No, they're not, no matter whether they're alive or dead.
	But Jim Acosta, thank you for the idea.
	We're just going to take it and make it, you know, good.
	And if people are wondering as to why Jim Acosta would do this, keep in mind, this is a guy who was at CNN who tried to present himself as objective.
	CNN tried to present him as objective.
	And we've always known that he was just another leftist media hack.
	But now we get to see it in real time online without the filters.
	I've been sort of trying to shout this from the rooftops or wherever anybody will listen to me at the end of a bar in Kansas City, whatever.
	Not listening there.
	No.
	The president of the United States is a danger to this country.
	We'll stop.
	Uh.
	I've got to work on my set behind me as one of the issues.
	Well, got to work on part of the charm of Supstack Championship.
	I'd love to see PBS and NPR sort of be too big to fail in this country and sort of be like the BBC or be like what we see with Canadian broadcasting.
	Because Trump is not going to change his ways when he gets back in the Oval Office.
	He's going to continue to say things that need to be fact-checked.
	And you can't have the news industry worrying about this sort of stuff when they're just such a demonic job.
	Well, if some bend the knee, others have to stand up straighter.
	Well, you know a lot about bending the knee.
	Also, by the way, remember, that is Brian Stelter's man cave.
	Bring that back up as a still.
	He willingly broadcasts from a room that looks like your grandmother's bathroom where the toilet seat would be that soft vinyl that feels like you're sitting on someone else's butt cheek.
	Yeah, with a carpet floor.
	The carpet floor and like cracks in the vinyl because someone clearly missed and it scrapes you.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	He's literally the only person you can put in a split screen with Jim Acosta that makes it worse.
	It's true.
	It's unbelievable.
	Think about this for a second.
	And by the way, the best way to follow us here is download the Rumble app.
	Follow me on there.
	You'll know when we are live.
	We're live, of course, 11 a.m. weekdays, every weekday, but that's the best way to stay in touch.
	Don't have to depend on some kind of algorithm there at YouTube or Meta.
	Think about Jim Acosta.
	Do you honestly think now that you see him, and you'll see the same thing with Colbert.
	You'll see the same thing with a lot of these actors and comedians who start their own podcasts afterward.
	Do you think he got that job because he was best?
	Or same thing with Brian Stelter.
	Have you looked at that guy's resume?
	It doesn't exist.
	You wonder how they got these jobs.
	And now, you may not like me.
	You may not like anyone here.
	Let's just use Andrew Wilson as an example who's been here.
	You may hate him, but he's out there debating people.
	He's taking on all comers, anyone who will, sitting down, he's getting the reps.
	And people here have had to get up on stage in any downtown USA for thousands of dates to see if we can make it work, to make people laugh, cut our teeth at places like, for me, Fox News at one point was HLN, CNN, doing all this content online.
	What is Jim Acosta?
	Do you think Jim Acosta has ever actually debated anyone on a level playing field?
	Do you think he's ever actually had to win over a crowd, win over a crowd who doesn't know who he is?
	Do you think he's ever actually had to provide references or be accountable to his audience?
	These people are not selected even remotely because of their capabilities.
	And you see that when they go online and the audience, the free market can dictate.
	And guess what?
	These people are never chosen.
	They're never chosen.
	And so like a feminist who finds himself to be 55 years old and a crazy cat lady, you have these former broadcasters and now they have a decision to make.
	Well, wait a second.
	Was I never really qualified?
	Was I never really a good journalist?
	Was I never really any good?
	Or is it everyone else's fault?
	Let's blame Trump.
	Let's blame new media.
	Let's control it.
	Let's censor it.
	Let's have a department of misinformation, even though we don't provide any references and our competitors do.
	Let's blame everyone else because me, Jim Acosta, Brian Stelter, we must be good.
	That's the world they live in.
	Same thing with Stephen Colbert.
	Stephen Colbert could take 5 million instead of 15 million and 100 employees instead of 200 employees.
	He knows he can't make it work.
	He will never say, yeah, the numbers created because it was awful.
	He will blame it on you.
	Levi's, if they don't do well, will not blame it on their tone-deaf marketing that's relatable to no one outside of the Folsom Street Fair.
	They're going to blame it on you.
	That's what the left does.
	They blame it on.
	They blame their own failures on you.
	Wait, that was Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter?
	Right.
	Yes?
	Oh, I thought that was like AI created a podcast with Jason Alexander and George Clooney.
	Yes, exactly.
	Yes.
	If George Clooney, you know, it's like in a parallel universe where he was gross.
	Yeah, AI.
	Brian Stelter, how?
	How does that guy get a job?
	Can someone answer me this?
	Someone needs to do it.
	What dirt does he have on somebody?
	He's backed.
	And by the way, it's not jealousy.
	Bigger audience make more than Brian Stelter.
	I mean, I don't know.
	They may pay him a ton of money.
	I have no idea because he has a blackmail panic button.
	How?
	We've often asked these questions and we've never had answers.
	At least now you're starting to get an answer when you see these people unfiltered online.
	Hey, go ahead.
	Do it on your own.
	Let the chips fall where they may.
	Speaking of abysmal failure, and my question for you is what constitutes treason?
	That term is thrown around a whole lot.
	I do think that when you take an oath to represent citizens of this country, you must represent first and foremost the citizens of this country.
	And to be their representative, you must first and foremost be a citizen of this country and exclusively this country, one could argue.
	So Illinois Congress bitch Delia Ramirez said this in a conference with progressive legislators in Mexico City.
	She flat out said her loyalty is with Guatemala first.
	Is that so?
	said Donald Trump in trading her back to her country's leadership.
	That's, yeah, there you go.
	The sun god is pleased.
	It's a pack of that show.
	Why are you proud?
	Why are you Guatemalan first?
	Let me just say this.
	I know I'm not supposed to objectively.
	Guatemala sucks.
	It sucks.
	The United States is better.
	That's why you're here.
	But to say you're Guatemalan first, that's a problem.
	Just to give you an idea, members of Congress, they take this oath when they are sworn in.
	Reference is available, link in the description.
	I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion.
	So you will protect it against any foreign or domestic threats and that you will pledge allegiance to the same.
	Does it sound like you're pledging allegiance to the United States when you say I'm first Guatemalan, for those who are listening on audio and didn't see the subtitles?
	She doubled down, by the way, on X and said, Honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.
	What?
	How?
	What?
	Cheating on my husband only makes me so I love my husband more.
	What?
	That's the opposite of making sense.
	My commitment to America.
	That is the truth I carry with me always.
	It is a truth that many Americans carry with them.
	Nope.
	Anyone who denies our claim in this country simply because we dare to honor our diverse heritage and immigrant route only exposes how fragile and small-minded their own idea of America really is.
	Yes, it's fragile and small-minded to think that people in America are Americans, that you're American first.
	She didn't just say, hey, my background is Guatemalan.
	Of course.
	No one has a problem with that.
	I'm talking about that.
	You can be proud of where you're from.
	And I'll also go as far as say this.
	You can hold that truth with you as an American.
	Sure, you're allowed to do that.
	But you're not just an American.
	You're a congresswoman.
	Yeah.
	And when you say I'm Guatemalan first.
	For example, Mark Aruby, he'll say, my parents came from Cuba.
	They came from communism.
	They fled it and they came to the greatest country in the world and they were grateful to be here.
	There are plenty of people who come from a family of immigrants and they're grateful to be here.
	But right now, at this moment in time, to say, I represent the people of America, but I am Guatemalan first.
	Well, that sounds to me like you're going to have conflicting interests.
	Yes.
	And put any country in there.
	And I know a lot of people online are asking for this one.
	If you say you're Israel first.
	Yes.
	If you say you're British first, Canadian first.
	I don't care.
	Insert country here.
	We don't have a Congress person anymore.
	We have somebody who's on the way out.
	Right.
	And again, once again, I renounce my Canadian citizenship.
	I have many times.
	I don't know how to officially do it, but it was automatically granted to me to become an honest French-Canadian, but I think Canada is a silly place where dreams go to die and it's infected with homosexuals.
	So who is?
	Ramirez.
	Well, let me also tell you, this is maybe why this woman doesn't fully understand it.
	So she was elected at the age of 35.
	This is a woman who has never worked in the private sector her entire adult life.
	She has never worked in the private sector.
	I also think that you should have to work in the private sector before you become a representative.
	Why?
	How would you know how to represent working Americans if you've never been one?
	Her husband is a dreamer, by the way.
	And most of her campaign donors are unions, government workers.
	And of course, surprise, surprise, Miss Guatemala first, which is just a silly thing to say because it's such a silly, crappy, shithole country.
	That's okay.
	We can say it now.
	It's a shithole country compared to, I don't know, Delaware, Rhode Island, for crying out loud, even Arkansas.
	I don't care.
	It's worse than every state.
	So no surprise, Guatemala first representative here wants to defund ICE.
	Ooh, no conflict of interest there.
	It's time to ask and they are fighting back and are pushed back against this fascist government.
	That's right.
	Okay.
	It's time for us to reconsider what ICE is all about.
	Hiding the government?
	You know what?
	That actually gives me an idea.
	I would like to propose this.
	And of course, ICE is prioritizing dangerous threats, right?
	Violent criminals right now, but they will deport anyone who is here illegally if they run into them, as they should.
	We had Tom Homan on the show.
	Let's add one question when ICE is interrogating someone.
	Hey, do you think that America is the greatest country?
	No, let's make it even simpler.
	Are you America first or are you Mexico first or Guatemala first or Honduras first?
	If anyone says, it's not a trick question, if the answer is anything other than America first, fast track, no more process needed, gone.
	That means you, Ramirez, that means yes.
	Am I saying I think that Ramirez should at least be deported to Guatemala?
	I think that we should be benevolent and we should send her to the place with which she identifies.
	You know, this place is her first priority.
	Yeah, she wants to make Guatemala better.
	There you go.
	Hey, make Guatemala great again.
	There you go.
	Great.
	A one-way ticket to the nation with which you identify.
	We don't want you here.
	And just to be clear, it's not a race thing.
	Hey, if there's probably a Hispanic person right next to her who is grateful to be here, maybe a Cuban-American immigrant, maybe an Argentinian, maybe a Brazilian-American immigrant who goes, I'm so glad to be here.
	This is the greatest country in the world.
	Great.
	Now, do you have skills?
	Do you have some value that you can add to this country?
	Do you pay taxes?
	Okay, maybe you can stay.
	Oh, wait a second.
	You identify with the country you left because there wasn't opportunity so that you could come here and browbeat Americans and then dictate policy so that we cannot deport pieces of crap like you?
	Gone.
	By the way, in case you were wondering, yeah, she also endorsed Mom Donnie for mayor of New York City.
	So here's the problem.
	People who left Ireland, people who left Italy, of course Jews across Europe, the Polish folks who came, they came here and then they immediately were American.
	They came here because they were fleeing something.
	Right.
	So if people came here at one point in time from a communist, let's use Cuban Americans as an example.
	The single most, we've done a segment of the single most consistent conservative Republican voting block.
	Why?
	Because they fled communism.
	So they come here and go, I reject that.
	That's a very different immigrant than someone who tries to bring their communism and socialism over here.
	So she says Guatemala first and endorses a self-described socialist, Marxist, communist for mayor of a major American city.
	And then they wonder why you don't trust your institutions.
	Well, here's why.
	McCarthy was right.
	I think that there's a big red scare in our government.
	Why?
	Well, because you said you're Guatemala first and you endorsed a communist for mayor of New York City.
	This isn't a conspiracy.
	I'm seeing it happen right in front of my eyes.
	You know who else endorsed the commie, Mom Donnie?
	Elizabeth Warren, the most awkward, Karen personified human being who's ever walked the planet.
	Clip, go.
	Anyone who thinks that the role of the mayor is to make life work better for working people should be here with Zoran.
	Government grocery store.
	What Zoran is saying is I want people to be able to afford to live in New York City.
	That's what keeps it a vibrant city.
	That's what makes people want to live here.
	Nobody disagrees with that, Senator, but raising taxes in order to do it?
	Why is that the answer?
	Oh, dear.
	Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry?
	No, I'm worried that they're going to leave and spend their money elsewhere.
	You know, they've threatened to do that over and over and over.
	And they have.
	They've left.
	the thing and goldman sacks when they create new jobs they do it in dallas and blackstone won't build a new headquarters okay so elizabeth warren here's the thing just think about the problems that the left creates and then And then their solution is more government.
	Like, let's just, let's just go.
	Okay, my perspective, Elizabeth Warren Mamdani.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So, Elizabeth Warren Mamdani, it's create government grocery stores, right?
	It's socialize more programs, more affordable housing, even though it's never worked.
	Increase spending.
	Okay.
	Then increase taxes on billionaire.
	Well, not on increase taxes, period.
	Billionaires leave, multi-millionaires who employ people, they leave, right?
	They've seen a net population loss.
	Okay, this is the result of their problems.
	And then they want to create a law that punishes people for leaving New York City.
	Remember that?
	So create the problem that results in people leaving.
	Then use the iron fist of the government to prevent you from leaving.
	Well, they claim that they're for the working class Americans and they're the party of freedom.
	Okay, here's my solution: don't do all the crap that forces people to leave in the first place.
	Just don't increase taxes.
	Just don't do government grocery stores.
	So don't create the problem.
	Me?
	Create the problem, then forbid people from solving the problem for themselves and their own personal lives.
	And then, of course, tell everyone that you're the party of freedom.
	I'm going to say, stay out of our bedroom.
	Whenever the left acts as though they care about freedom or the Constitution, you know they're lying.
	They only care about it as it relates to hard, hardcore drugs, abortion, or two homos getting married.
	That's it.
	They don't care about your freedoms.
	They want to take everything that you make to put it into a grocery store that doesn't work and then forbid you from leaving.
	No wonder this person who's Guatemala first loves it because that's the kind of country she comes from.
	You know, an inferior country.
	But hey.
	Sounds like Cuba.
	Yeah, it sounds like government stores can't leave.
	But these people, for some reason, are different from Cuban Americans where they embrace the crap that they left.
	We don't want you here.
	Unless you abandon all of it, then we don't want you here.
	You're going to bring it here?
	No, you're not welcome.
	But if you disagree with me, look, you can send your support or your criticisms to our district in Illinois.
	It's Illinois' third district.
	Call.
	Ask her to clarify.
	Ramirez at 202-225-5701.
	That's Representative Ramirez.
	Guatemala first at 202-225-5701.
	Okay.
	You should see her totally not gerrymandered district.
	Yes.
	Is it?
	Yeah, dude.
	It's like a sliver.
	It does not look like a natural district at all.
	It looks like a very gerrymander district.
	No, only the right Illinois has done.
	Only the right gerrymander is just like this issue.
	Hey, have you seen my AI dead child to push for gun control?
	Here's another error, though, calling balls and strikes on the right.
	There we go.
	This one's pretty bad.
	Pissed a lot of people off yesterday.
	Whoever is spearheading the messaging at the White House.
	Yeah, shouldn't.
	Shouldn't.
	It shouldn't have a job anymore.
	Tonk the brakes.
	So we talked about this yesterday, right?
	The declining support for Israel in particularly young Americans right now.
	Now, that doesn't determine what is right.
	You know, policy can't just be dictated by polls.
	But it does determine how you navigate your messaging.
	And it seems as though those in this administration have said, well, yeah, we don't care because we want to reach that median viewer, which is 72 years old at Fox News.
	Let me give you this recent one.
	So on Monday, Axios released a DHS notice, which apparently found that FEMA disaster relief could be denied to states who boycotted Israeli companies.
	Now, there's more to this story.
	There are a couple of twists here.
	So this is from the article that says discriminatory, prohibited boycott means refusing to deal, cutting commercial relations, or otherwise limiting commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies or with companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by a licensed by.
	So very, very broad language, but this was found.
	It's the same word over and over: Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israeli.
	It seems like that shouldn't be mentioned so much in any type of domestic policy.
	It's different than I would have thought.
	Especially one that determines how taxpayer dollars are spent for American taxpayers.
	So this was found there by Axios.
	And by the way, all states, according to them, have to, at least in this paper, also commit to being circumcised by Gilbert Godfrey's ghost.
	Just a little off the top.
	Oh, geez.
	So that's going to be recurring.
	Then there was a whole bunch of outrage.
	Rightfully so.
	People going, what?
	And I agree.
	My position is Israel should have nothing to do with how we spend our disaster relief funds.
	Nothing whatsoever.
	I wouldn't deny disaster relief funds from someone who just happens to vote Democrat.
	Now, if you're talking about a sanctuary city that is harboring criminals and creating a hellscape for their citizens, that's different.
	This is a real problem.
	And can you guys, if you are a die-hard supporter of Israel, let's say, and I think most people here would be considered Jewish shills along with being Nazis, depending on the day.
	You support Israel in their war against Samos.
	Do you also, don't you think it's pretty reasonable to also think that this is morally reprehensible?
	Comment below.
	I think that's a pretty sensible position, and I think most people would agree with that.
	So the outrage took place, and the DHS responded denying the accusation.
	And I'll just, just to sort of tip you off, lying.
	So they said there is no FEMA requirement tied to Israel in any current NOFO.
	DHS will enforce all anti-discrimination laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement, which is expressly grounded in anti-Semitism.
	But here's the problem.
	You would think they're telling the truth because the current document that's available does not have that language in there regarding Israel.
	And so that's one of those things where sometimes these stories circulate and we go, oh, okay, all right.
	So conspiracy theorists are just circulating something that's false.
	But the reason it's not there is because the DHS removed it after the outrage.
	They removed it and then lied to you and said, oh, that's not there.
	Yeah, but it was.
	Well, it's not there now.
	Yeah, but people were mad because it was.
	Voters are not there anymore.
	But it was.
	We took it off an hour ago.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah, exactly.
	This is really bad and certainly doesn't seem like swamp draining.
	The quartering, who is here in the lineup, actually showed the old language and said, but it's literally on your website.
	Yes.
	People pointed out it was literally on their website, to which the ghost of Gilbert Godfrey responded, son of a bitch.
	That was pretty much.
	Thank you, Gilbert.
	So why?
	I guess the question is, why would they, we have to get to India here in a second, but why would they do this?
	Why would this be shoehorned in there?
	And how does this have anything to do with putting America first?
	Can anyone come up with any?
	In other words, when people say these people are bought and paid for, they're controlled.
	Okay.
	What's the counter argument against that?
	And I don't know that there is one for at least people in charge of messaging in this administration.
	Yeah, definitely not.
	Yeah, this was a mistake.
	And I don't, look, let's just, there's an argument on the state, right?
	We covered this with Texas.
	They did something with one of the cities that wanted to boycott it, specifically Israel.
	And we went into the details of that, but that's on a state level.
	It's a little bit different thing.
	You can maybe agree or disagree.
	I still disagree, but nonetheless, it's a Different thing.
	The federal government now, if you're just basically saying, like, hey, we just don't want to do business with them because we don't support the war in Gaza.
	You may not be supported by other people who have different opinions, but you're not actively doing something to harm Americans.
	Right.
	Denying them federal assistance in the aftermath of a tragic flood, earthquake, hurricane, whatever it may be, is actively hurting American citizens for their opinion.
	Yeah, I would say that's the same thing.
	That has no place in this country ever.
	And to specifically list Israel is moronic.
	You should just, if you're going to do it, I don't think you should do it.
	If you're going to do it, though, just say any country in good standing with the United States of America to make sure the optics are at least a little bit better, even though it still sucks.
	I still don't agree with it, though.
	So if you do that, there's different things you can do.
	There's different funds you can hold back.
	You don't hold back FEMA funds.
	You don't hold back emergency funds.
	No, at all.
	No, absolutely.
	That's people's lives.
	Yes.
	Oh, you said all that.
	People have fought wars over their livelihoods.
	Well, here's something else, too, is this also makes it really hard.
	Like, for example, when kids are vandalizing school grounds and blocking students at Colombia and harassing Jews, and we say, yeah, those people absolutely should be kicked off campus.
	And if they're here on a visa, they should be deported because they are disrupting Americans' lives and they are committing crimes.
	Then you had people who said, yeah, well, that's just because they're Jewish.
	This is just a Jewish conspiracy.
	This gives ammo to those people.
	I still think you shouldn't be able to vandalize public or private property on behalf of Hamas, a terrorist organization.
	That being said, you absolutely, you can hate Jews for all I care.
	And if you are in a hurricane zone, it should be taken into account.
	Zero.
	Zero.
	Yeah.
	I just, sometimes I feel like there are people in this administration who really don't know what it is that you voted for, who are so completely out of touch.
	And they can't make many more missteps like this because it's going to cost them.
	It's going to cost them a lot.
	It's right on the heels of the whole Wailing Wall incident that we talked about yesterday.
	It's just like one step after another, guys.
	It's like, listen, I'm trying to, I'm trying to find the common sense kind of place to interpret these things reasonably.
	You're making it very difficult right now.
	Very, very difficult.
	Stop with the Israel stuff.
	Like, Israel is some special case that we have to always defend or base every decision on.
	I don't care if it's the most backwoods, redneck, racist a-holes that you can find on the college campus at the University of Alabama saying the N-words can't go to class.
	They're getting kicked off too.
	It's the same thing.
	Yeah, of course they are.
	It's not that Israel is special, so stop acting like Israel is special.
	Otherwise, we're going to think maybe APAC is making some inroads.
	Maybe, you know what, maybe some of these conspiracy theories over here about Mossad and Epstein and all this other stuff, maybe that rings a little bit more true now.
	You're creating all of those things that you say are really bad and corrosive for our society.
	You're creating anti-Semites.
	It's the same thing the left did with racism.
	Yeah.
	Stop it.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'll say this, just I think there is an equivalency here.
	Representative Ramirez, I'm Guatemala first, gone.
	If you're a representative here and you say, well, Israel first and foremost, gone.
	Yes, gone.
	Gone.
	That's it.
	Okay?
	This is not your welcome, Matt.
	No, no.
	No.
	It's the greatest country on earth.
	That's it.
	It's not your welcome, Matt.
	It's not your place to use.
	It's the greatest country on earth.
	And if you are so blessed to be an ally who we treat well benevolently, we'll look out for you after Americans are taken care of first.
	And that includes Israel.
	I don't know why this is hard for people in this administration.
	And I will say that I do think that they have conflicting interests.
	I do think, and the Mossad thing is not necessarily even a conspiracy.
	Now, it doesn't mean only Mossad.
	If I say, of course, all governments engage in espionage.
	You guys know the French are some of the worst historically and still up to this day.
	And smelly.
	Yes, smelly.
	And I mean, for credit.
	I don't know why they don't use running.
	Even the Romans had aqueducts, French.
	But they're not great spies.
	Who is the spy in here?
	I don't know.
	Who's the spy?
	Maybe it is the Azar guy.
	Yes.
	Don't look at me.
	We're kind of looking at you.
	Oh, I figure.
	All right.
	Well, here's one we can all agree with.
	That's going to piss us off even more.
	India sucks.
	And here's the thing.
	I know that often we'll get a lot of views in India if I talk about Modi or someone who's done something relatively well there because they sort of have been presenting as an ally.
	Well, it turns out that that was largely fraudulent.
	And on a personal level, as far as immigrant groups, Indian Americans are among my least favorite.
	Just as far as the culture, as far as assimilation, as far as the leering, as far as full-grown men holding hands, I think it's weird.
	And it's just not really my jam.
	But if you come here in your America first, okay, I understand that.
	However, India has been playing both sides on this one.
	So you've probably heard this quite a bit.
	And you hear it increasingly from people in tech, which is kind of worrisome, that India is the future, despite the fact that half their civilization lives in actual poop.
	They're the future.
	I thought you said the past.
	They're our great ally, and they're certainly our next greatest, most significant ally.
	You've heard all this.
	And I really believe that the future of the 21st century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States-India partnership.
	I'm pleased to report that with today's announcements, the friendship between the United States and India is the strongest I believe it's ever been.
	I think our relationship is the best it's ever been between two leaders of the two countries.
	I tell you, we're going to have a fantastic relationship, and it'll make both countries much stronger.
	The president thinks America first, but he does not think America only or America exclusively.
	He's going to take care of his allies.
	He's going to make sure he takes care of India, who he deeply, deeply admires and respects.
	The future of American innovation, the key driver of our economy, will depend on our immigration policies with India.
	But what if I told you that all of that was based on a lie?
	And India, as a nation, as a government, and by the way, as a people, by and large, has been dishonest.
	They've been dishonest economically.
	They've betrayed us by engaging in trade and business with our enemies.
	And they're doing so while telling us that, no, no, no, no, no, no, we are friends.
	We are your best friend and none of it is true.
	This brings us to this week's Eye on India.
	What sucks!
	All right.
	So let me give you the what references available.
	So last week, Trump announced he would hit India with a 25% tariff.
	Okay.
	Good.
	Now, let me give you the why.
	And a follow-up, Monday, President Trump announced even tougher measures, potentially greater tariffs.
	And he explained on truth.
	He said, India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it in the open market for big profits.
	They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian war machine.
	Because of this, I will be substantially raising The tariff paid by India to the USA better than India.
	Some people say, by some, I mean everyone.
	Thank you for your attention to this matter, President DJT.
	And it's true.
	By the way, two people die by train every hour in India.
	I just think that's an interesting fact when people say all cultures are the same.
	Yes, trains kill two people in India each hour.
	Think about that.
	Animals avoid giant, loud, screaming metal objects.
	It's on a track.
	You have to go to it.
	Yeah, it's on.
	You can't go anywhere else.
	Yeah.
	Derailments.
	And I'm not saying it's the only thing wrong with India.
	It's just a big one.
	It's just one restaurant.
	But it's 2025 there too.
	How are you people getting killed by?
	And it's just because it's an entirely different culture.
	It's true.
	They've been engaging in trade with our enemies while trying to take advantage of Americans while trying to take advantage not only of Americans themselves, but American businesses.
	And I'm talking about the scam, the scam deals that happen.
	I don't know how almost all of the telemarketing scams that rob old people of their social security checks come from one country, which would seem like it's not a very empathetic people, which would seem like maybe there's some kind of a moral vacuum in India.
	Seems like Hinduism isn't filling that.
	Also, American businesses are being exploited and our government is being exploited.
	At the same time, they're doing a lot of stuff behind our back.
	For example, acting as a loophole for China to avoid tariffs and buying Russian oil.
	Basically, India is taking advantage of the United States gleefully, and President Trump's the only one doing anything about it.
	It's fine because he lived.
	He was not one of the two people per hour.
	By the way, there's a study that shows in some regions, 50% of the train deaths are from selfie videos.
	Two people die by train every hour.
	That guy, not one of them.
	How many people are injured by training?
	And how many of them gang rape water monitor lizards?
	At least four.
	All cultures are the same.
	If an American wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard, I'm just using this as an example to show you that cultures are different.
	If an American wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard, this happened in India, by the way.
	There would be multiple steps that, frankly, would probably act as a barrier to entry.
	First off, you'd have to find a group large enough of other people who too wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard.
	That's what that group chat looked like.
	Yeah, it must be pretty tough.
	You don't want that signal leaked.
	And then they would have to, of course, if they assume you find a posse of water monitor lizard rape enthusiasts large enough, you would then have to find a water monitor lizard.
	And you would then have to make sure that you could get this water monitor lizard isolated because any witness in the United States would, of course, say this is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life.
	They didn't even have to do that in India.
	They pretty much did it in plain view.
	Eight people said, do you want to rape the lizard?
	And seven other people said, yes.
	I don't think so.
	And they just did it.
	They just went to town in front of people like, that's right, let's put our back into it.
	It's just not the same kind of a culture.
	It's something that when anyone says they eat prey love and India is a very spiritual place, you know that that person has lived an asshole's life because it is devoid of any spiritual moral ethics whatsoever.
	And you know what?
	Let's be honest.
	A lot of their food is overrated crap.
	Some of it's good.
	Some of it's good.
	Some of it's overrated crap, as seen by our latest harvest right taste test.
	Okay, for today's test, meal A will be Harvest Rite freeze-dried fruit salad.
	And for meal B, we have Punjabi Street Banana.
	It's right there to your right, Gerald.
	Wow, that tastes really good.
	Okay?
	Josh, can you help me with this?
	Can you help him out?
	Yeah, I can.
	It feels like...
	Oh, fuck.
	Oh, fuck.
	God.
	Oh, fuck.
	No, what the f ⁇ ?
	What was that?
	No, no, no, no, stop it.
	Looks like Gerald preferred the harvest right.
	Harvest right.
	Freeze-dry your favorite meals and snacks so you are always for me to prepare.
	It's affordable.
	It's fun.
	And most important, it gives you peace of mind.
	Go to harvestrite.com slash crowder.
	That's harvestrite.com slash C-R-O-W-VD.
	HarvestRide.com slash crowder to get yours today.
	Go get.
	Go get.
	HarvestRite.com credit.
	And I will tell you, it really is useful.
	I haven't done the meals and everything yet, but just freeze-drying the fruit and candy.
	That in and of itself is delicious and way better.
	Yeah, it's better than the Indian stream.
	Also, sticks can poke.
	Yes, they can.
	You almost ended up as a Gerald kebab.
	I did, actually.
	I have a lot of blood.
	Yeah, I'm saying, but you look good as a kebab.
	That's a good look for you.
	There's going to be a surge of Indian orders.
	You're going to have to Gerald Morgan has good kebabs.
	Now, the blood.
	Let me go through this economically as far as governments, as far as businesses, and as far as you, just the average American citizen, how you are screwed on this raw deal by India playing like they are an ally.
	So some key facts for you.
	Key fact number one.
	It's true.
	India is buying a massive amount of Russian oil.
	Let's personalize this.
	Your best friend, you find out, is supporting your worst enemy.
	Your best friend is buying meals and, I don't know, making a down payment on the house of the guy who your wife cheated on you with, right?
	Like that, hey, you're a friend.
	No, no, no, you're not a friend.
	Why?
	Because you're buying huge amounts of oil from someone who is not an ally.
	And the left should be on board with this because they hate Russia more than anything.
	So to give you an idea, 0.2% in pre-invasion, sorry, India, of crude imports came from Russia.
	Now, that's 40 to 50% of India's crude imports.
	They're coming from Russia.
	That's $50 billion in new annual income for Russia.
	And by the way, even some of that crude, it comes through some U.S. sanction.
	They've already been sanctioned tankers, to be clear.
	So it's not like this isn't on our radar, to be clear.
	They know what they're doing.
	They could be engaging in trade honestly with the United States.
	They're not.
	They're supporting an enemy.
	And for Donald Trump, and this is the thing, someone who believes in peace through strength, but he wants to pull economic levers before we ever have to send troops into Russia.
	That becomes really hard to do if you're getting undercut by your supposed greatest ally.
	Think about that.
	In other words, you can't squeeze Russia if India decides, oh, no, we'll pick up the slack to the tune of 50% of our crude imports.
