So, Johnny Rich, let me tell you my first story experience in your awesome bar here, Redneck Riviera, where we will be tomorrow night, launching his incredible album, which he was kind enough to give me and my wife Paula over there, he gave us a free concert. He’s got an actual bar in his house. I don’t mean a house bar, I mean like a bar in his house that rivals this bar. And he played the album. It’s called the country truth. It’s a banger, every single song. 08:00 p.m. Eastern, seven Central, tomorrow night here on Rumble. But I came to your bar on New Year’s Eve. I was here with Fox a couple of years ago, and I said, John, can we get in?
The bar was packed. And I remember your bouncer, our friends like, we’re not taking any more people. And then someone called down, hey, Dan Bonjito. Is that and then they walked me up right here. John was playing and, man, I had the best time. He took us on the tour bus back. You remember that? Oh, yeah, of course I do. That was a good time. You’re always welcome here, man.
Listen, this bar, Redneck Riviera, the brand itself, we support God, family and country. That’s it. I know we’ve had this conversation on radio before, but never on the podcast. Listen, you’ve been with Lone Star, Big and Rich, Solo, and you’re one of the few guys who’s had hits with all of them. I mean, listen, a couple of guys had big hits when they were with Kiss and then went out on their own and they didn’t do anything. Some did, some didn’t. You’ve been with Lone Star. Big and rich and solo. Number ones hits everywhere. But you’ve seen the country music, which is going to surprise a lot of my listeners here.
Even the country music industry going woke from the inside. I’ve seen it, too. And you decided you were going to do something about it. Yeah. So, really, a few years ago, as I was part of that music industry you’re talking about for my whole adult life, what started to happen is that the industry started to go very liberal, very woke. There was always those people in the business, but now they started to press down onto the artists.
They didn’t used to mess with your music or tell you what to sing, what not to sing, what interviews to do, what interviews you can’t. But they started doing that a few years ago. And it got to the point where I looked at myself one day and I said, is my freedom of speech more valuable to me than the approval of the music industry? That’s the question I had to ask myself. And I said, you know what? Damn right it is. And I want to say what I want to say. I’m an American, by God. I’m allowed to talk if I want to. And if that means I lose the approval of the music industry, so be it. I’m sure I’ll figure out another way to get to the fans with my music.
So thanks to you, Truth, Rumble all the folks that have me on and all the fans, especially, that find my music and download it, they have put me at number one on the last four know. Yeah. You’re darn know. We talk a lot about this parallel economy, how we’ve got to get away from these libs. Here’s the thing, folks. Listen.
I believe in God given rights. Big R, God given God, capital G, God given rights. That means for these libs, too. I don’t want anything to do with them. You want to play your music, play your music. Matter of fact, play it on Rumble. I couldn’t give a damn. The platform is there for everyone, but they don’t feel the same way about us. They will never, ever these maniacs ever leave us alone.
Ever. Because you got to remember the essence of their entire guiding ethos, John. This collectivism socialism crap is stealing away God given liberties is a zero sum game, man. It’s either yours or theirs. Either you’re spending your dollar or they are. Either they’re telling you how to write your music, or you are. The thing with us is, we don’t want any of their decisions. Send your kid to whatever school you want. Keep your money. I don’t want to make tax cuts for me. I want it for you, too.
But when it comes to music and other stuff, they can never leave you alone, because the essence of their power is to take from others. And you said, screw it. I’m not doing it. And then the songs, you stick it to them like progress. I mean, that was a kick in the balls to the left. They hated that one. They absolutely hated stick your progress where the sun don’t shine I mean, they lost their ever loving minds over that one, which is good, because, honestly, if they thought well of me, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. So I’m going a little out of order with the show.
Hey, gee, I’m going to play that Oliver clip from that React give me a second here. But you and I it’s hilarious. Turned into a big Twitter conspiracy. We got The New York Times calling me, the La. Times calling John John, and I just like, music. I saw this guy on Twitter, Oliver Anthony, his real name is Chris. And I texted you. Did I not John. I go, Holy shit. You hear this guy? This is, like, the craziest thing ever heard. And John, who’s got a better ear for music than me, like, a lot better. He’s only made a career out of it. He’s like I said, am I crazy? Is this guy, like, talented or what? He goes, no, this is, like, really good stuff, and this is after it had kind of already.Blown up a little bit, so we really just wanted to help the guy out. But my question to you, John, is a song like that, if he were to go the traditional Woke label route. There isn’t a chance in hell a song about minors on an island. There ain’t no way that song gets printed or played on the radio. No. So what’s that? Oh, yeah. Okay. There you go. What are we doing? Sharing this mic? Can you share one pull off of this one. Okay, so, yeah.
The real answer to that scenario, Dan, is that if Oliver Anthony would have had a record deal and recorded and written the exact same song, the Richmond north of Richmond, if he had done that, they would have buried that song underneath the building at the record label. You would have never heard it in a million years. They probably would have dropped him from the deal for even daring to say something like that. So now the ironic thing is all the major labels are slithering up to his feet out in Virginia, showing up at his shows, offering him millions of dollars and all this stuff to do it. And so I’m on the phone going, what do you think about that? He goes, One guy made me an offer for all this money and stuff if I would work with him. I said, well, what’d you say to him? He said, I asked him in exchange for what? And I said, did he answer you back? He said, no, he didn’t really have an answer for that. I said, yeah, because the answer would have been for your life, son. For your life. He’s not going to do it.
I think he’s going to stay independent. He is a real threat to the music industry because he did all this without them. They could spend every last penny they have. All of them could and not get 10% of what this kid’s built by himself. He is an important voice. He’s also, when I text him, I’ll say, hey, man, how’s it going this morning? He goes, resting my voice and reading the King James. That’s what he says. So he’s really that guy. There’s no joke. Last question for you, and I’ll let you roll. Tomorrow night. Don’t forget. 08:00 P.m, Eastern. Seven Central.
John Rich going to launch his album the Country Truth. Everybody go buy it. Buy every song. The songs are amazing. Don’t miss it. Here live exclusive to Rumblerumble.com Bongino. This guy seems I mean, he’s the real deal. You read his Facebook thing that he put out. That this statement on Facebook, and it was so self deprecating. And that’s something John, you know, in the entertainment business, man, we saw with this crazy Snow White actress lady talking about how like, oh, my gosh, I’m so important. Snow White sucks, and we’re like, changing to whatever. Not this guy. This guy puts out a statement that says the exact opposite. Chris Oliver. He says, hey, man, listen, I’m not a good guy. I’ve been saved, but I live in a $750 trailer with a tarp on it. Don’t expect. I’m not your idol here. And I thought that was just so refreshing to hear from this guy. That’s why you can hear the pain in his voice. That song was real, man. Yeah. That’s what freaks out the music industry, because they are the opposite of that. They are the opposite of real. They market us into a state of numbness and just roll us into whatever narrative they want to have. And this guy’s not going to have anything to do with know you’ve got Aldean that had the big song. Try that in a small town. Here’s oliver Anthony with Richmond. North of Richmond. I’ve got a funny one. I’m offended that’s about to come out talking about our culture. That’s on the funny side. I think it’s an important role right now to be an artist that’s not going to do what the industry says and give the people what they want, which is songs about truth, the country truth. Yeah, brother. Yeah, man. I can’t wait. John, we will see you. You’re going to hang around? We’re going to do some radio later too, right? Yeah. Don’t miss the radio show. You own this place. Thanks, brother.
Johnny Ridge. Johnny Ridge, I love this guy. I’ll tell you a little story about Johnny Ridge. We were on The Five together tearing some shit up over there at Fox. And he brought in the Redneck Riviera whiskey. Rizza. Give me it, John. Give me that bottle, sir. He knows the guy who made this stuff, too. So it’s got his name on the back. It says, oh, John Rich. Oh, that’s his too. So, yeah, we were out there on The Five, and this was on the table during the show. They said something about the whiskey thing. So I’m eyeballing that whiskey. I’m like all actually, I wish I could go play for you the actual clip. So at the end of the show, everybody’s walking out and I’m like, I mean, nobody said a true story. So who was it? Was it Kirsten or someone? One of my crew at Fox who was on my show was like, hey, man, you know what happened with that bottle? I’m like, no idea. No idea. And then an hour later I said, I’m just messing with you. I said, it’s sitting here in my hotel room. And they’re like, there’s a lot missing. I’m like, I don’t know what happened. John brought a half empty bottle. What kind of guy is he, man? He brought a half empty bottle. Redneck riviera whiskey. Check it out. And don’t forget to join us tomorrow for John’s album.
All right. I want to play that thing. Gee, do you have that queued up? Gee, you have that queued up, oliver all right. I want you to watch this, folks. This is really important, just speaking about the music industry and how emotions matter. I know you’ve heard the song. I’m going to play the whole thing. But this guy orph on Twitter had put together one of these reaction videos. And I just want you to watch a clip of this, and I’m going to read to you a little bit of what Oliver had to say on Facebook. It’s pretty profound.
You know what, Jim? I’m going to need the elements, because they’re not I don’t have a prompt there, so can I take to the printout radio elements? So watch this, but I want you to watch the reaction of the people and how the left loves to divide us into these ridiculous boxes. You’re black, you’re white. Immigrant. Non immigrant. Union. Not union all of a sudden. No. Yeah, that stuff there. But watch the reaction from people of all different races and just check this out. Gee, play that cut, if you would. 6ft in the ground, because all this damn country does is keep on checking them down. Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to for people like me. What people like you? I could just wake up and it not be true. But it is amazing. I mean, you just see the reaction from people, and you notice nobody really gives a damn about skin color. Oh, my gosh. That’s a black guy and a white guy. That’s the liberals. I tell every conservative and everyone sitting here in this audience, too, you should be damn proud that there once was a civil rights movement in the United States on the left, too, that cared about things like character over the melanin content of someone’s skin. But that’s just not a lefty thing anymore. Do you notice the minute this guy’s song hit and it really touched people, it really got the people’s souls? Do you notice? The first thing was it had to be a right wing song, what the hell’s Right Wing? About a bunch of rich dudes screwing our lives over up in Washington, DC. What the hell’s? Right wing. And the answer is, that is Right wing. Now, I thought about it. I’m like, you know what? For the first time, these goons in the media, right, the left has completely abandoned any kind of questioning whatsoever of the elite foie gras eating dipshits at these cocktail party crowds, sipping their Louis XII cognac every. That’s them now. I’m looking around at the people in this room. I wish I could flash the camera around this way, but we had to get this together at the last minute. I’m not as sophisticated as some of these other shows, but folks, these people here work for a living, man. There’s one dude here, 57, he’s like.25 years old. Yeah. Knuckles all jacked up, fingernails all dirty. That’s what we are now. That’s not their movement anymore. That’s us. You put your chest out and your chin up and be damn proud, man. The working class American. You’re in our party now. You’re in our movement.
These lefties, they don’t give a damn about you. They never did. You got to read this book. This book revolt against the Masses by Fred Siegel. Andrew Wilcow, a good friend of mine, loves it, too. This book is amazing. And all it talks about is how the left is always screwed over the middle class. They have always screwed over the middle class. They hate everything about you.
I’m sorry to tell you this, folks. I’m not intentionally trying to be divisive for clicks. I don’t need it. I don’t need anybody’s money. I don’t need anybody’s clicks. I don’t need any of that crap. I’m telling you, they have always hated you. It’s born out of this patriarchal sense of aristocracy. They feel these lefties like because they went to Harvard or whatever it is and got a degree in gender studies or something like that, they’ve got this perverse, bizarre feeling that because they’ve got this degree that you should be subjugated to them because you work in a coal mine. They ain’t done shit. They haven’t done anything. This world is not a better place because they wrote some damn white paper white paper about whatever, 9th-century Sumerian rock carving. No one gives a shit. It’s true. It’s the coal miner that’s heating the damn coal plant, producing the steam that’s pumping the electricity in your house that’s keeping you warm in the winter. These are the people that matter. These people have hated you forever. They have this patriarchal feeling that they should be Big Daddy to you, that they should be running your lives and you should just shut up and just listen to them because they went to Harvard or Princeton or Dartmouth or something.
And listen. I got nothing against people who better themselves by going to school. I went there myself. But you all know my rule. If you cite your education, you’re probably what? You’re probably a moron. Having said that, I say that as someone who’s been there. I did a couple graduate degrees. And you know what? I did learn a lot in business school, but that’s not an excuse for me to tell you I understand your life better than you. We got people here who work for a living truckers, pilots, cops. I don’t know jack about your job. I don’t. Wouldn’t even know where the power button is. If it doesn’t say power on a big rig. I don’t even know where to turn that damn thing on. Oh, but, Dan, you got an MBA. It doesn’t mean shit. It doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t. I’m sorry. You can clap if you’d like. And that’s not one of these, like, weird Democrat moments. There’s an applause line. You see Nancy Pelosi the other day? Yeah. Don’t feel it. We’re Republicans. We don’t have to announce applause lines. But don’t feel any need to be quiet. Don’t worry. This is my show.
But I don’t know anything about that. And I want to read to you what Oliver said, quick. I read a little bit on the radio. This is the last portion. I want you to listen to this, folks. This is what he put on his Facebook. This is just the last portion. This guy could have been a multimillionaire a week ago, and yet he’s sitting there and taking it all in. Listen to this. He says, in 2019, I paid $97,000 for property I live on. I still owe 60,000 on it. I’m living in a 27-foot camper with a tarp on the roof. I got off Craigslist for $750. He says, I’m not a very good person. I spent the last five years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I’m sad to see the world and the state it’s in with everyone fighting with each other. Yeah, me too, brother. I spend many nights feeling hopeless that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away. That being said, I hate the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet’s a parasite infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten. Loved ones sitting in houses with each other, distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls and sweatshops in a foreign land. When’s enough enough? When are we going to fight for what’s right again? Millions have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don’t let them take it away from you. Just like those once wandering in the desert. We’ve lost our way from God, and we’ve let false idols distract us and divide us. It’s a damn shame. Steep, man, that’s deep. That’s deep. I wish that guy the best, but I’ll just kind of end this segment with that before we move on to some other stuff I think you all know here.
You all believers in the afterlife. Me too. God gave us his gift music. None of us can explain it. I mean, it’s just sound, right? That’s sound, too. Why does that not sound good? But something else does. I mean, I’m sure there’s some neuroscientist with a Harvard degree who can explain to you the neurochemistry behind the dopamine reward system, but we’ll pass on that for now. God gave us this gift of music to unite us all. And don’t you all find it weird that this guy sings this song? I said this to Paula and everyone at the same time. The first time they heard it was like, wow, that’s special. Come on. You’ve been listening to music forever. And, you know, sometimes even my favorite song, sand in My Boots, Morgan Walland, even that took me two or three times before I really started to tear up about it. Such a great song. I love music. He sent this guy who admits I don’t know him, I don’t know his past. Frankly, I don’t care. Guy says, I’m not a good person. I’m in a lot of pain. Maybe we can all learn some. Maybe it’s a unifying moment, but it was a special moment for me.
All right. I got a lot to get to. And again, thank you all for showing up. I never done a live show, but Paula, how do you feel it’s going? Yeah. Gee. What do you think, Jim? Yeah, you like? Get me you guys all right over here? All techie stuff. All right, good. Jim makes me nervous. No, no, you’re not noisy at all. I love noise.

All right, back to the show. So, folks, something big happened yesterday on my friend Charlie Kirk’s podcast. He had Newt Gingrich on as a guest. And everybody in Georgia knows a little bit about Newt. Newt was the architect of the Republican Revolution back in the Clinton days, but Newt’s been dropping like bombs lately.
I don’t know if you guys have seen this, but he’s been on cable news just tearing it up. I mean, I don’t know what your feelings are personally about him. He’s always been nice to me. But he went on Charlie Kirk’s show and had just this bombshell about the Georgia Fulton County indictment that came down on Monday. And he’s saying that now. He’s saying, just to be clear, that it’s not yet fully verified, but that somebody from, I guess the administration called down to Georgia and told them, like, hey, you need to push this thing today because we’ve got some bad news coming out, which if that’s the case, we’re talking about volcanic police state like corruption. I mean, we’re not even into we’re out of the red zone. We’re into the end zone right now of corruption.
Guy, if you would play that cut newt on Charlie Kirk show, check this out. That I am told this is hearsay, but I am told by a reliable source that Friday evening somebody from Washington called the district attorney in Atlanta and said, you have to indict on Monday. We have to cover up all of the mistakes we just made with Weiss. And she said, apparently my jurors aren’t coming back till Tuesday. And they said, you didn’t hear me. You have to indict on Monday. And she said, we’re not going to get here before noon. They said, that doesn’t matter. She said, this means it’s going to be eight or nine or 10:00 at night. It doesn’t matter. We need the news media shifting. Who made that phone call? We don’t know. I’m telling you up front, this is hearsay, but it’s from a person who has remarkably good I totally believe it, though, because that would explain why they leaked and they messed up on the clerk document, why she was exhausted and why they had the 11:00 p.m. Press conference. Mr. Speaker, now listen, if this happened, this newt said it happened. Folks, I’d like to say we got a problem, but we’ve had a problem for a really long time. The police state’s here now, it’s not going to be here tomorrow. It’s not coming next.
Know I was talking with gentlemen online here, signing some books beforehand saying hello to, you know, we were talking about the voter fraud, which is an epidemic problem in the United States. Don’t listen to your liberal goofy ball friend. You can’t talk about voter fraud. You can kiss my ass. You guys have cheated in every election and whined about everyone you’ve lost for. I’ll talk about what I want because I have God given rights. But I said to him, listen, there’s no giving up though, guys. I get that we’re in this police state ecosystem now. I understand, but we got to fight back.
And the reason I bring that up is because this is happening right now. Because I don’t know how long you guys been listening to my show, but there’s a thing about cutesy time. Cutesy time is over. Like, cutesy time’s, like, oh, you want to play cutesy time? Like, you’re probably not in this listening audience out here. Now, does anyone here believe we’re still in cutesy time? No one? You sure? We don’t have any handswritten. No, there’s no cutesy time people here.
No, wait, Sean where’s it where’s Sean first? Where’s Sean’s wife? Bring your wife over. What’s your name? Come on over. Okay, I want you to see this shirt, because here, this is an old school shirt. What was your name again? Brandon. Nice to meet you. Come on over here. Sit down here for a second. We’ll bring Sean on. You’ll know who Sean is in a second. Your shirt says new rules. We win, you lose. Yes. That’s the only way forward. So do you think we’re in cutesy time? No, cutesy time’s over. Thank you. Thank you.
Sean, come on over. Take a seat for a second. You all know Sean Farrish. If you don’t, you better. He’s got his own podcast. Look him up. Sean underscore Farrish on Twitter. He’s on true social too. F-A-R-A-S-H. He has an alter ego. It’s a very Jekyll and Hyde thing. His alter ego is his alter ego is kind of like a superhero thing. It’s like, believe it or not, I’m walking on air thing. Sean, thanks for joining the show. We appreciate it.
Thank you very much. Yeah, you’re a good man. Wait, is that mic still? Should we share a mic? I’ll share a mic.
All right, so I want to point out yes. So you do a lot of commentary. This police state that we’re in right now, I’ve seen you on Newsmax and elsewhere. Do you think we’re going to recover from it? You think there’s a way out of this? You think Republicans have any balls? I mean, be honest. You don’t have to.
I think God’s blessed this place, and I think there’s an out. Like, there’s a light at the end of this tunnel. But how do you feel about well, first of all, I think when you talk about the police state, I think I listen to you. I’m long on the United States also. I’m definitely long on this place. But everyone, whether they’re in the room, whether they’re watching, you’ve got tens of thousands of people watching on Rumble all the time. It’s because of places like Rumble, because of platforms like Rumble and Truth that believe in free speech that I think we will overcome it. But it’s going to get worse before it gets better. You say it all the time. It hasn’t gotten bad enough yet. For some people, it hasn’t gotten bad enough yet.
I came from New York. I used to live in New York. We moved out, moved into Tennessee in January. Haven’t looked back. I mean, my family’s there, we kind of know. Missed the beach a little bit. But overall, people have to understand whether you’re right, left, middle. You know, a friend of Know, we know cryptocurrency, they’re like, oh, I don’t care about politics. I just care about bitcoin. I’m like, yeah, you don’t think you’re going to be a white supremacist for buying Bitcoin when they want to cancel that for central bank digital currency, right? So the police state’s coming for everybody. Nobody is immune. We’ve been saying that forever. No one is immune from it. You can’t be vaccinated against tyranny. It just doesn’t work even if you get the vaccine, right? So the bottom line is it’s going to show up at your doorstep no matter what happens. And everyone’s got to be ready to ideologically take up arms, right, ideologically, and make sure that it doesn’t impact you and your family. And if you’re stuck in a blue state watching somewhere I wanted to stay and fight. We stayed and fought. We almost elected Lee Zeldon in New York, and when it didn’t happen, we said it’d be best for our family to move out. And that’s what we did.
How does your alter ego feel about the police state, especially down in Georgia? What’s going on right now?
Well, they say the devil went down to Georgia, but I haven’t seen Crooked Hillary there yet. Okay? And they say that they’re indicting me for free speech. It’s a terrible thing. What’s happening. Next thing they’re going to do, they’re going to indict me for eating too much at an all you can eat buffet. Could you believe that? And then I’m going to know because just like they indicted me for the boxes hoax, sleepy Joe had so many boxes and he hasn’t been indicted. I will tell. And now he’s Crooked Joe because we call her beautiful Hillary now because I don’t want to die, okay? But they indicted me for boxes. Crooked Joe has so many boxes now they’re indicting me for eating too much. What happens to Fannie Willis? What happens to Alvin Brigg twinkies, you call him that’s a beautiful nickname. What happens to all the people who eat too much all the time? What happens to them? They’re not getting indicted. I’m getting indicted. That’s a disgrace. Thank you.
Hey, folks, we’re almost close it in on 50,000 people onlyHalfway through the show. You all are awesome. Great to see you here on Rumble. If you want to follow Sean again. He’s Sean S-H-A-W-N. Not like the Sean Connery spelling underscore Ferrish. And he has his own podcast and show. You see him on mean. He sounds more like Donald Trump than Donald Trump.
The weirdest thing would happen. Like, imagine we got to get him on the phone with Trump. He’d be like, just for a second. I mean, just put yourself in his shoes, right? Some cat calls you on the phone and it is like a doppelganger voice. And you’re like you’re thinking like, is this like is this my conscious talk? Did I go to the afterlife? Like, did Hillary come for me? Like, what just happened? That was funny, by the way, that line. We call her Beautiful Hillary? Because I want to live. That was great.
I see we got my friend the vikanis here. Everyone give a hand of Akanis. Vicki waved here. Those are my good friends. Is Arvin next to you? Because arvin, you ever hear me talk about the orthodontist on the show? That’s him. I used to have crooked hill. I had crooked teeth. So if you ever need good orthodontic work, he loves to talk about dentistry at his off time, so feel free to approach him. He’s doing consults right now. Get right off the trip. So make sure you ask him. Show him your teeth, everyone, when you’re done.
I’m kidding. These are my best friends. So thanks for coming out, guys. We appreciate it.
All right, I’m going to get to this. I’m going to get to what Sean just talked about. I know he’s a P One listener because he said something that really kind of deeply impacts my soul coming from New York like he did.
Folks, I got some bad news for you, man. It ain’t bad enough yet. It ain’t bad enough yet, but it’s going to get there.

All right, so the fight back has begun. Though I neglected to say this before, anyone from Georgia here? No Georgia, folks, we got a senator, a state senator deserves a big shout out. Here a guy by the name of Colton Moore in Georgia. He sent a letter to the governor, and did you hear about he’s? Yeah, you did. Shout out Colton Moore. If you’re watching, or any of your friends are watching, on our Rumble channel here, we the under sign from the House of Representatives and Senate, comprising three fifths of each respective house. Pursuant to this article, certify to you in writing with a copy to the Secretary of State that, in our opinion, an emergency exists in the affair of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section for all purposes to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of one Fanny Willis. Good for you. Colt Moore yes. Joseph. Yes. Joe. Joe. Man, I just realized do it’s. We didn’t do its Friday. Did I miss just you did it. Oh, you got it in. I was all nervous. Thank you. I heard your voice creep in there. I got so distracted by this awesome crowd. I’m like, we can’t do the show without that. Hey, we could do it right now if you want. Yeah, please. Let’s get another one for the audience. Thank you. Big Friday, man. That’s crazy. I would have blown the streak there. It was only one Friday we missed. All right, but back to what I was talking about before, with the fight back like this, folks, you’re only going to see this when it gets bad enough.
Listen, Sean and I were both sean, how old are you? 32. 32. So you’re a little bit younger than me, but you probably remember the garbage days in New York City, right? Like pre giuliani.
Folks, for all of you out there, I want you to know things can get bad and can get bad really fast. You’re seeing it right now. When you get corrupt people with no morals and power that are not moored to anything God given liberties our constitution, these founding documents, and they don’t believe in something bigger than them. Let me tell you something. Shit gets bad really fast, man. Really fast.
Because their loyalty is not to anything other than themselves, avarice, and their own mercenary power goals. That’s it. They will step on anybody, screw anyone over, and when it gets ugly, it gets ugly fast.
When we were in New York, sean Me, my wife, Jim, producer Jim over there, too, it wasn’t even a matter of was your car going to get broken into or were you going to get mugged? It was only a matter of how often it was going to happen. I tell this story at the bus stop coming back from school. That getting mugged. This may sound crazy now since the broken windows policing started, but it wasn’t. If you got mugged, it was only how much they would take. So you learn to carry your money in different pockets and stuff. So if they took it, you’d be like, oh, here’s everything. And they were too stupid to ask you to check the other pocket, so you’d, like, split your money up. Or if you went and got a drink from the store and you didn’t open it, that’s why you’d have to drink it quick. They would just come and steal it from you. You didn’t even file police reports, because that was just what happened. Things can get really, really bad really fast.
And the shame of it is, I don’t think they’ve gotten bad enough yet. Here’s what I’m talking about. I put some stuff together for today. You got that Fresno, California video. Here’s a video out of Fresno, California. Folks. I could play these all day, but you know what you need to see? Oh, why do we keep playing these robbery video? People stealing and burglarizing homes and robbing from stores? Because you need to see it. You need to see what the Lord of the Flies looks like. If you think we’re living in Swiss Family Robinson, man, you read the wrong book, because that’s not what’s happening, man. Piggy and Ralph are here now. Like, thisIs going on, right? You know what I’m talking about? Like the natural state for a lot of human beings, I’m sorry to tell you, this is chaos. Not everybody is like you in this room. Not everybody has an allegiance to God given rights. Because if you have an allegiance to God given rights, there are things you can’t do to others you can’t, because God forbids it, you’re not going to hurt them. You’re not going to steal from them. Oh, but what if they’re liberal? It don’t matter. It’s wrong.
But they don’t feel that way about you. And this is what it looks like when those kind of people take over. Play that. Cut it, folks. That’s what chaos looks like. You’ve got this lady in a mall in broad freaking daylight with a garbage bag, stealing thousand dollars sunglasses, and all everybody can do is sit around and beg her to stop. Please stop. The lady saying please stop, as if you’re dealing with people who have an emergency break in their behavior. You understand? These people are guided by one thing. It’s their instantaneous dopamine rush.
If they can steal and make money, there’s no amount of pain that they can see in your face that’s going to stop them. They don’t care. They will steal from you. They will use your parking lot as a bathroom arvin. You know what I’m talking about? These people don’t give a damn, man. There’s no limit on their behavior at all.
The only thing that stops them are the good folks among us people right here. It hasn’t gotten bad enough yet. I hate doing these segments, but I feel like if I don’t tell you what’s going on, you’re not going to respond appropriately. I’m realizing how sincere and candid I am that we have maybe a couple of years left before this descends into uncontrollable madness.
The country is not going to disappear. There are European countries who’ve been struggling forever. They’ve been around for a long time. But ladies and gentlemen, what happens is they descend into this spiral of poverty that it’s almost impossible to get out of, and the country becomes an almost semi lawless place that has never been our way here.
Here’s a headline from the New York Post again, in case you think I’m just making this up, that things are getting really bad. You haven’t heard much about the immigration crisis, right? Lately. Immigration? Nothing’s any different here. New York Post, August 15. Last time I checked, that was like a couple of days ago. Migrants still flowing into the US at a record setting pace. Data shows 150,000 immigration cases in July alone.
Folks, it’s gotten so bad. This is how chaotic it’s gotten under Oatmeal brains in the White House right now. It’s so bad that we have to triage the level of suck on stories about what we’re going to talk about because it’s gotten so bad. Between Hunter Biden, the corruption, the mortgage market imploding, the housing crisis going on, nobody’s selling their house because they can’t get out of 3% mortgage. They’re afraid I’ll play that cut in a second, inflation that people like me who have an hour show on podcasts were like, well, what do we talk about first? Everybody seems to have forgotten about the immigration crisis.
Folks, the border is completely open right now. Completely open. And again, chest out, chin up. We you in this room. Someone told me my mom didn’t, like when I pointed, said, use the blade hand. That looks kinder. Is that better? I don’t know. Like you right there. Blade hand. Folks, we are on the right side of this issue too. Nobody’s going to lecture me about immigration or Paula, who actually came to the country and became a citizen like the right way. Like, you want to come here, great. We’ve got a lot of jobs. We’ve got a lot of opportunity. Even though our colleges awoke, we still got some decent places to learn. My daughter goes to a college in Alabama and leave that out because it’s crazy out there. But in Alabama, that’s still kind of holding the line. We’re the greatest place on earth. You want to come here, that’s fine. But I love when the Democrats talk about, oh, we need a process for this. We have a freaking process. It’s called the immigration process. You can look it up. You can look it up. It’s not hard what to do. It may be long, but it’s not difficult to figure out. When you go online, you don’t have to answer advanced calculus questions. They don’t ask you about organic chemistry and what deuterium versus tritium is. That’s not what any of this is about. You can just go and do it, but they just don’t want to. And you know what? Listen, you broke the laws your first act. You got to go. I’m sorry, but really, you blame these people.
You got Joe Biden telling people that live in economies, not one 1000 of how wealthy and prosperous we are. You got him doing this public announcement. What did he say before he came? The border’s open. Maybe he didn’t use those exact words, but folks, let’s not be stupid here, okay? You know exactly. He did the winky winky, nod nod thing and what happened? Everybody took his instructions.
When Donald Trump was in office, we still had people crossing the border. You’re never going to stop. 1000 plus mile border. You’re not going to stop everyone from coming. It’s impossible. Just like you’re not going to stop. I don’t care. You have the best cops in the world. There’s still going to be some crime, right? Donald Trump had like 40 to 50,000 people, which, by the way, a lot of them would get deported afterwards for coming in illegally. And they knew there was a penalty. 150,000 people, free cell phones. You get a ride to New York. Think of this. Think of this. That was my Leo gets moment. Okay, I’m a little too excited in front of you all today. I got to calm down a little bit. I got a valium. Just kidding. Illegal drugs are bad.
When I was a secret service agent, they used to put us up at the UN in the Roosevelt hotel. Like 20 years ago when I was doing it in New York City, the Roosevelt hotel was pretty nice. It’s owned by the Pakistanis, a lot of green, the color of their flag. We used to stay at the Roosevelt. It was pretty nice. And I’m thinking like, wow, this is crazy. Like, the Roosevelt Hotel, where that was considered like a pretty high end hotel in New York, has now been totally taken over by illegal immigrants sleeping out on the sidewalk out front. If you doubt any of this, pick up your phone, put in Roosevelt Hotel, illegal immigration. They’re out front on the sidewalks. There’s a way to can you tell me what’s humane about that, please? Am I missing something? Am I missing the humanity of sticking people on a sidewalk in the middle of New York City in 100 degree summer? This is humane.
Rather than telling people, hey, I’m sorry, there’s a process. You got to go through the process. This is the way to do it. And you’ll get your citizenship. I mean, think about it. If you do it illegally, you are not availing yourself of the greatest opportunities in the world. You’re not going to be able to be a CEO of a company one day. You’re not going to have any of that. And this is the Biden America moving forward.
I wanted to play this for you, too, especially folks on and thanks to the live stream. Let me check in with the live stream. How you all doing out there? Listen, I need some feedback from the streamers out there from the folks on us with the live give me a why if you’re liking the live show, a no, if you hate it and it sucks and you should never do it again, why? Or an N? Because you guys matter to me as much as oh, wow, there we go. I got a first wise from the Gunther. Yes. Thank you. I like it. That’s gee, a lot of wise, right? A lot of oh, wow. Yes. Hopefully we’ll be coming to your town soon near you.
But I want to play this again in case you think it hasn’t gotten bad enough yet. It is about to get really bad. There is a prediction out there in the market that mortgage rates could peak at about 8% coming up soon. Ladies and gentlemen, we’re back to like the 80s time now. And here’s the problemWith that, 8% of people pay for their houses. How? Not in cash, folks. There are a few people who pay in cash, but not a lot. If you’re a cash buyer now, you’re in a great spot because you don’t need a loan. People typically pay for their houses on a monthly payment. So here’s a segment from Fox yesterday, a short one from Martha McCallum’s show where she does some simple math.
Mortgage rates are now at their highest level in 21 years, with the 30 year fixed rate averaging more than 7%. The median home price in America is around $410,000, and monthly mortgage payments on a home at that price could cost over $800 more than they did two years ago when rates were near their record lows. It’s a big hurdle for anyone trying to get into the housing market.
Your monthly payment just two years ago on a $400,000 house was $1,300. The same house is $2,200 now. The banks are getting rich off Joe Biden’s economy.
Now let’s jump ahead to Larry Elder. Larry Elder is running for president, and he is known for being an excellent debater, particularly on race issues. He was on a show called The Breakfast Club, hosted by Charlamagne, who asked about the concept of a “wake-up call” in experiencing racism. Larry responds by questioning Charlamagne’s reaction to Joe Biden’s statement, “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.” Larry points out other instances where Biden made racist comments and asks why that wasn’t seen as a wake-up call. Charlamagne admits that Larry is right and acknowledges his missed perspective.
Dude, don’t start a fight with Larry Elder on race issues that you can’t finish. The racists have been right in front of me, and it ain’t the damn Republicans.
