The Left Gets A Smackdown in Court (Ep. 2238)
Summary
➡ The article discusses the perceived hypocrisy and contradictions within the Democratic party and media outlets. It suggests that these groups are willing to change their stance on issues, such as government spying and the origin of the coronavirus, based on political convenience rather than truth. The author also criticizes the use of street protests as a psychological tactic to make those who disagree feel isolated. Lastly, the article mentions the importance of good sleep for overall well-being and recommends a product for better sleep.
➡ The article discusses the current state of the economy, highlighting that it’s not doing well. It points out that most of the growth is coming from government spending, which is taking money out of the economy before putting it back in. The article also mentions that the GDP numbers are low, indicating that the economy is not growing as it should. Lastly, it warns that if the current administration continues, taxes will increase significantly, potentially leading to bankruptcy for many.
➡ The head of a union in New York City shared that many of his members are frustrated with the current state of affairs, including rising costs of living and crime. In a poll among his union members, President Trump was favored over Joe Biden three to one. The union leader believes that these workers are aware of the issues affecting them and that their perspectives could influence the upcoming election. He also mentioned that there’s a growing dissatisfaction with the economy, and warned about the potential negative impact of bond vigilantes, who could stop lending money to the U.S. government, leading to higher interest rates and economic instability.
➡ The article discusses a Supreme Court case about presidential immunity, which is the idea that a president can’t be held legally responsible for some actions while in office. The author argues that the definition of “official acts” (actions done as part of the president’s job) should be broad to prevent political opponents from arresting the president for any reason. However, the author also acknowledges that a president should face consequences if they commit serious crimes. The author believes that impeachment, a political process, is the right way to deal with a president who breaks the law.
➡ The author criticizes the left for wanting to decide what constitutes official and unofficial acts, which could potentially harm the presidency and the United States. He also accuses the left of using their power and discretion to target Republicans, which could lead to the downfall of the Republican party. The author urges his audience to stay focused on winning the upcoming election and saving the country. He ends by promoting his show on Rumble and his podcast.
Transcript
But yesterday the case got so ridiculous. The Donald Trump Twinkies case up in New York. The case has gotten so ridiculous as NDA case. Nobody knew how to talk about it on cable news. You see it, the National Enquirer guy was named David Pecker. And they were like peckers standing. I mean, on the stant. I mean, the peckers did David. I mean, I don’t mean the pecker. I mean, this is how stupid this has gotten.
This is what happens when you let freaking lunatics run the country who decide it’s a good idea to take a former president stick them in a dingy courtroom during a campaign. You can only hope these losers are distanced from power and then prosecuted themselves later for stealing away Donald Trump’s civil rights. I got a lot to talk about today, including my iron law contradiction. It’s important. Today’s show, sponsored by Blackout coffee, stop giving you money.
Woke companies don’t care about you. Go to blackoutcoffee. com bangino. Use coupon code banjito for 20% off your first order. Folks, I need to explain it better. I will. The iron law of contradiction. What that basically means is whatever the left is taking a stand on, it’s not on principle. They’re only doing it because you took the opposite stamp. And the minute that flips, they will go right back and do the opposite thing again.
I’ve got hardcore receipts as it relates to this supreme Court case. Yes, Supreme Court case yesterday. The very important one about presidential immunity. Stay tuned. Mypatriotsupply. com dot.

That, that’s my patriotsupply. com. All right, fellas, so the iron law of contradiction. Got a whole bunch of emails yesterday. The Supreme Court case was happening involving Donald Trump. One of the many criminal persecutions of Donald Trump that lefties, I’m happy to say, is blowing up right in your face.
In the polls. It’s double barreled, maybe the triple, but we’ll leave that for today. The poor wooden hand needs a break. But I got a bunch of emails yesterday. Supreme Court, the Democrats on the, because they are Sonia Sotomayor Kagan and Kentanji Brown Jackson doesn’t know what a woman is. The Democrats seem confused yesterday about the limits of presidential power. I’m going to get to that in a second.
One of the things that came up is the idea of fake electors. Let me just put this out there before we get to it. If you’re using the term fake electors and not alternate electors, you are playing right into the Democrat trap. There’s no such thing as fake electors. In this case, they were alternate electors. Donald Trump was concerned that the popular vote in some of these states was going to go in his direction if they looked into what was going on.
So they had a slate of electors ready to go, which has been done many times. They will take the opposite position. But before I get to that, I wanted to show you this gem, hat tip. Avita, by the way, sent me this one. The New York Times, which portrays itself as the paragon of journalistic integrity. The old gray lady, they call the old gray lady. They used to be against things like, you know, civil rights violations and that kind of stuff.
So Evita sent me this little gem. Here’s the New York Times now. Surveillance law, section 702. It keeps us safe, folks. So this happened. Now the New York Times is all in on government surveillance. Now, why would the New York Times be all in on government surveillance? It’s very simple when you think about it. David Horowitz explained this once. It’ll explain everything I’m about to talk about in this section, about how the left will take a completely contradictory position depending only on what the conservative position is.
We’ll call it the anti anti communist thing because that’s what he calls it. If you’ve heard it before, good. If you haven’t heard it before, get ready. It’s going to explain everything, folks. We’re the anti communists, correct? We don’t believe in collectivism. We believe in individual liberty. We are the anti communists. The left are the anti anti communist. The left doesn’t care about principles. They’re full of shit.
They have no principles. The left’s only principle is what? Power. Abusing power, putting Donald Trump in prison. They don’t care about principles or anything. Anything. Anything even resembling a principle. You’re the anti communist. You’re in their way. Whatever you believe in, they will take the opposite position if they believe they can use it to get you out of their way. So the left, as Horowitz calls them, are the anti anti communist.
Why does the New York Times now all in on government surveillance, running op eds about it? Because, folks, the New York Times, their opinion writers and others, they see you as an obstacle and they realize a valuable tool to get rid of you. The anti communist is what? Surveillance. The same government they used to lobby against the ACLU in the left in the past, they used to say they hated that stuff.
They hate nothing. They hate being kept from power. That is it. That’s the only thing they see as an obstacle, is you. We are the anti communists. They are the anti anti communists. They don’t care about. Why do they support the death to America Iranians who throw gay people off buildings? They don’t care about them being gay or anything like that. All they care about is using the Iranians to advance the political power of the United States.
United States government they feel is working for them. Here’s how it relates to yesterday’s trial in the Supreme Court, ladies and gentlemen, is a big deal. This case is huge. A lot of cases in the Supreme Court are very important, but they’re important for specific groups. I brought up the example yesterday on the radio show that a lot of times they’ll argue cases in front of the Supreme Court that involve fisheries.
They’re important. You want to eat fish and not starve to death. You don’t want to put a bunch of fishermen out of business. But be candid, it affects a rather large portion of the economy, but a limited group of people in there. This Supreme Court case here affects everyone. It is about the limits of presidential power. Now, I want you to see in this clip coming up right here how Sonia Sotomayor, Democrat, obviously a far lefty, she’s using an argument, but she’s stating a premise in advance.
This is the, like, when did you stop beating your wife? Question. She says to the Trump’s team in front of the court, his legal team. Well, you know, if the president could do what he was doing, I mean, and he just appoints fake electors to steal an election. The idea of a fake elector is a premise with no justification. There are alternate electors. It’s been done many times, and Democrats have argued the exact opposite in the past, that alternate electors should be allowed.
Matter of fact, not even far in the past did they argue this. But now the Democrats are taking the opposite position, that presidential electors, if you dare have a slate ready to go, alternate electors, which has been done many times, that this could be a crime. And she says it as a premise to the question. Take a listen to the allegations here. What is plausible about the president assisting in creating a fraudulent slate of electoral candidates, assuming you accept the facts of the complaint on their face, is that plausible that that would be within his right to do? Absolutely.
Your honor, we have the historical precedent we cited in the lower courts of President grant sending federal troops to Louisiana and Mississippi in 1876 to make sure that, that the republican electors got certified in those two cases which delivered the election to Rutherford B. Hayes. The notion that it’s completely implausible, I think, just can’t be supported based on the face of this indictment. So you see the anti communist and anti anti communist play going on here, the iron law of contradiction.
The Democrats are full of shit. They don’t stand for anything. The New York Times and the ACLU and others told you for years, government spying, the CIA, this was all awful, terrible. They’d out them all the time. Now they’re all in. Why are they all in? Because they think they can use it to target you. They don’t care. They don’t care if they’re flipping and doing a total 180.
They don’t care at all. SONY SOTOMAYOR there is actually implying that having a slate of alternate presidential electors because you dispute the outcome of a state, which has been done many times, implies in her question that that’s some kind of nefarious activity. Of course, she gets legally smacked around by Trump’s lawyer because Sotomayor is not that bright, which was off awesome. And I just, and I’ll get back to the court case a little bit later.
But this is about the contradiction law here. Look at his CNN piece. Van Jones and Lawrence Lessig, two devout Lefty, why Pennsylvania should take its time counting votes. Here they argue the exact opposite case. And by the way this is also tied to that Arizona thing where a bunch of folks in the Trump orbit were just indicted for being what they call fake electors. On that day, assuming the final count of the popular vote has not been certified, both slates of Pennsylvania presidential electors.
Both slates? How can there be two slates? We’ve been told by Democrats that’s a crime. This is Van Jones and Lawrence Lessing, two lefties on CNN. Both slate should meet in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Both slate should cast their votes by ballot. And Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolfe should await the final resolution of the popular vote count before recertifies. Which slate should represent the state. Holy shit. That sounds like what Donald Trump did.
Now it’s a crime. People are indicted, though. How do. That’s a crime, Sonia? So do my yours. Implying in the immunity case it was a crime too, but they argued for it a few years ago. The iron law of contradiction. Whatever you believe in, the anti anti communists will take the opposite position because you were an obstacle to them and they will try to crush you with it.
They don’t give a damn how it looks, how it smells, how it stinks, how it sounds. They don’t care. This is what you’re dealing with. Here’s another gem. One more and I’m going to get to some other stuff, including the disastrous GDP numbers and hilariously, how the left is trying to massage this thing. Oh, we got to nuance them now. Oh, yeah, nuance them. Sure. Now we got to nuance them.
Here’s the young turds. Ever hear the young turds? This is like one of the really popular goofball liberal shows. They’ve been around forever. I want you to watch these two morons, okay? When the lab leak theory was thrown around that, hey, you know what? This Wuhan virus that originated in Wuhan, where there’s a lab that studies viruses, like the Wuhan virus, that studies back coronaviruses, where there was an outbreak near the Wuhan lab, a lot of smart conservatives were like, that sounds kind of suspicious, especially considering the State Department has records of biosafety lab issues with this lab, and it is the Chinese Communist Party.
People were scratching their heads. They’re like, that sounds like it could have leaked from the lab. What does that have to do with the iron law of contradiction? Because you said it and Trump said it. Hey, maybe this thing leaked from a lab. It’s kind of sounds logical, right? The morons on the left had to take the opposite position. Why? Because they believed it. Why the iron law of contradiction? Because you’re in their way, and they had to make you look stupid.
Now all of a sudden, that that penalty’s gone and Biden’s in office, and it’s getting really, really hard to ignore the obvious, that this thing was a lab leak. Now, when they feel it’s comfortable to walk away from the obvious contradiction they had in the past to get you out of the way, now they all change their position. They think we don’t know. Big hat tip maze. Moore.
I saw this video there. This is great. Check this out. Everyone who believes in the conspiracy is saying that he came out of a lab in Wuhan rather than through food at a market, and he continued to push a conspiracy theory that has already been debunked by our intelligence community. This whole notion that the coronavirus was developed in a chinese lab that has been debunked is that I don’t know who to trust.
Yeah, right. I certainly don’t trust reporters because reporters treated this initially as if it was nothing more than a crazy, unhinged conspiracy theory. Yeah. So who do you trust? Right? You can’t trust the legacy media outlets because that was their narrative. Speaker one, it came out of the city that has a Wuhan institute of Virology, a chinese lab that worked on coronaviruses. And that is an awfully large coincidence.
And. And that’s what I’ve thought throughout, that that was an awfully large coincidence. I know you get angry at this stuff. Don’t, don’t, don’t get. Don’t get angry or get angry, but channel it into something productive, like wiping these people off the electoral map, it was obvious to anyone with half a freaking brain that the thing obviously came from Wuhan. But what kills me is these people knew that.
They all knew that. They’re not dumb. But the iron law of contradiction, whatever you say, they are going to say the opposite. If Donald Trump would have come out and said, listen, I’ve got a solution for COVID, I’m dead serious. I am. It’s just, I am not me. This is not intended to be humorous. If Donald Trump would have come out, you know it, and he would have said, folks, I have a solution for this coronavirus outbreak the minute it started.
Everyone wear masks. I promise you, as my name is Dan Bongino, the young turds, everyone else on the left in the media would have mocked Donald Trump for even suggesting that this ridiculous face diaper would stop a microscopic virus. Because of the iron law of contradiction, you’re in their way, and they’ve got to. You all the time. You know, I did a segment on the radio show yesterday, how it’s hard to reason with people not interested in reason, but the third party’s always listening.
These are about 2020, 5%, 30% of America right now. It’s sad. The liberal movement is in. The virus has infected these crazies, okay, but there are persuadable people out there, and there’s a third party listening. And I was talking yesterday about the power of the streets. You have to understand, ladies and gentlemen, left has understood this for a long time. How do they keep people detached from reason? They do it by this mass psyop.
They’ve done it forever. The psychological operation the left has engaged in for decades is street power. They want piles of people in the street blocking traffic and doing all this. They do it for a reason. It’s meant to give you the false impression that despite the fact that your reason and logic is telling you you’re not crazy, the thing leaked from a lab. When these people are out in the street and they’re on tv every day, regardless of the issue, they killed the Jews crowd.
Israel, the Middle east, the Wuhan lab, the economy, it doesn’t matter. They want to give the impression that there’s a mass movement out there. And you may be the crazy one if you start using reason to figure it out. This is why they use the streets. This is why these riots are going on right now. This is why you’re seeing these takeovers of the college campus. Believe me, the Middle east is a secondary issue to them.
The first issue is power. And making sure, making absolutely sure you feel, you feel like the crazy. There’s a way to beat them, and it’s to spread the word that they’re the nut bags, not us. She tell them a little fired up this morning. Why I slept good last night. You tossed in the eternity at night, unable to catch those elusive z’s. Trust me, I’ve been there.

Your future self will thank you. Until next time, sleep tight. You’ll love Beamstream powder. Check it out. Right back to the show. The misinformation bullshit. The lack of ability on the left to use reason in any way, shape or form.
This is decades old. This is not new. It’s not to be generous to us. It’s not unique to our generation. None of it. It’s been going on for a long time. Even when objective numbers are released, ladies and gentlemen, the economy sucks. Okay? The economy is in bad shape. Most of the growth from the economy, and I’m using the dreaded air quotes, is coming from government spending, which is sucking money out of the economy before it puts it back in.
And given the government a cut itself as they pay everyone. The GDP numbers came out yesterday. This is the most important number in economics. If the number means are we growing or not? It’s basically that a measure of the national wealth. Are we growing or not? If you’re national, if your wealth is growing by three to 4% a year, you’re doing damn good. In 20 years, you’re going to double your wealth.
If it’s growing by less than that, you’re not going to double your wealth as quickly. Okay, what’s a good GDP number? A good GDP number is like two and a half, 3% right now. A great number would be four. Anything below two sucks. It’s an objective number. Okay? The suck factor is real. Here’s David Asmund on Fox yesterday about these horrendous GDP numbers. But I want you to see again how the media, they’ve experts in reframing to make sure that their liberal allies are protected even an objectively shit number.
Check this out. These GDP numbers were shocking. We’re expecting a 2. 4% growth. The actual came in at 1. 6. Correct. Huge loss. And with rising inflation, even the Fed is admitting that inflation is not only sticky, but it seems to be going in the wrong direction. That adds up to stagflation. I know and I was preparing myself for your using that word because that’s something we haven’t seen since the 1970.
I know most of you know it, so forgive me, I’m not trying to talk down to anybody, but do you remember what stagflation is? Stagflation was the basically disintegration of the Phillips curve. This idea that there was a trade off between unemployment and inflation. As unemployment went down, inflation would go up. The whole idea is as the economy would. The economy got hot that inflation would go up, more people would start trying to buy stuff and drive up the prices of things.
Okay, that was dismantled in the Jimmy Carter era, where for one of the first times in modern us history, we saw a disconnect there. We saw unemployment high and inflation high at the same time. And a bunch of liberal economists were like, man, that doesn’t make any sense. The Phillips curve, like a Phillips screwdriver. It’s really important you understand this because a lot of dopey leftists still believe this.
For one of the first times in modern american history, under Carter, we saw inflation and unemployment go up at the same time. And they were confused. They were like, wait, if unemployment is high and people aren’t making a lot of money, then how is inflation hot? Because people aren’t going out and buying stuff. What they didn’t understand is there’s a total disconnect between these two things. Inflation is related to the money supply, and unemployment has a multitude of factors.
Right now, although the unemployment numbers are relatively low, labor force participation is not great, and most of these jobs are going to people who are illegally in the country. The economy sucks. So we’re starting to kind of tilt back into these stagflation days where we have a stagnant economy and inflation is going up at the same time. That’s what he’s talking about there. But of course, here’s left wing axios to the rescue.
Now, if there was a 1. 6% GDP number that came out into the Trump years, I can guarantee you this headline would have been, I mean, total apocalypto, man. You ever see that movie? They would have been, like, cutting people’s hearts out there and screaming, the cataclysm is here. It’s over. Everyone go out and prepare today. Get your potassium iodine pills. The drama, it’s true. Tony said the drama would have been so dramatic, right? Am I kidding? The bot, it would have been insane.
But because it’s Biden, the liberal media is very good at what I call reframing stuff. So we talked about the iron law of contradiction in the beginning. They’ll do the opposite of what you do and then switch it around later if they don’t really care. Reframing is critical. They’ve got it to any time. It’s a watch. This watches them. You’ll see it anytime. It’s a Democrat or liberal president.
And an economic number is bad. It’s always, they need it in context or there’s nuance to it. We need to look deeper or a deeper dive. If it’s a Republican, they don’t give a shit. 1. 6% GDP. You suck. The economy’s collapsing. Here’s what I mean. Axios. The good and the bad inside the worse than expected GDP report. Oh, there’s a good in that. They know the economy’s slowing down.
Really? Thank you. It’s amazing. But the outlook is not as bleak as the GDP headline figure suggests. Really, it isn’t. Instead, the report, folks, tells a nuanced story where things stand. It’s nuance, always nuance. You know why it matters? The 1. 6% annualized growth rate confirms the economy. It’s not reaccelerating to start 2024. Then they go into this big, long explanation about why it isn’t such a bad thing.
You know, I was putting together the show and I sent this to Tony and did I not, Tony? I said, scrap. This is not even worth it, folks. I was going to put up for you five or six screenshots of GDP numbers that were better than 1. 6% under Republicans, two, 2. 1. Where the better than this? And this headlines, basically like, why the economy sucks, why this president’s, you know, grabbing moose nuts, why this guy is a piece of shit.
I could have, I’m like, you know what? Forget. You get the point. The economy is garbage. Everybody knows it. Union workers know it. People out there know it. Truck drivers know it. H vac guys know it. Plumbers know it. Rail workers know what cops know. Everybody knows it. Rich guys, poor guys, middle class guys, everybody knows it. The only people who don’t know it, and they’re desperately trying to tell you that you’re crazy.
That you’re crazy. This is the power of the streets, is the media. David Sachs put this out on Twitter. David Sachs, very wealthy guy, but he’s pretty smart guy. He’s talking about not only one, the economy’s awful right now. The media can reframe it all they want, but remember, meat on the bone, folks. If Biden is reelected, your taxes are going up and they are discussing a 25% wealth tax, that the only thing they’ll save you is the courts, in addition to a 44% capital gains tax.
So David Sacks has this interesting hypothetical here. He says, let’s say you build a business from scratch and you qualify for Biden’s new 25% wealth tax, basically. So you’d have to sell 25% of your business to pay the tax. Correct. Because you’re probably not liquid. So if you owe a 25% tax on your $100,000 business, you’d have to pay $25,000. Correct. That’s what the tax is, folks. It’s not a tax on income, it’s tax on wealth.
But then he notes, but then on top of the $25,000 capital gain you just sold, because you had to sell 25% of your business to sell the wealth tax, you’d have to pay a 44% capital gains tax. Plus in California, another 13% on top of that. So you actually have to sell 37% of your business. Is this right? Listen, folks, I showed you yesterday how Biden is openly now proclaiming that he is going to hike your taxes and repeal the Trump tax cuts.
He’s saying it. You don’t have to listen to me. Just listen to him. All of your taxes are going up. I didn’t, I was just talking about the income taxes. I didn’t even mention this yesterday. This is, Sacks is not crazy. He’s made a lot of money over, over the years doing a lot of big high end business deals. He’s doing some very relatively simple math. You will be bankrupted if this kid sniffing woman groper gets back in the White House.
You will. You will be bankrupted. Remember I said this, folks, the economy sucks and everyone knows it. I want you to watch this Fox segment yesterday. Nobody knows this better than people who get their fingers and their fingernails dirty for a living because they work. This country was built by people doing manual labor. They built it. Their hands built it, their know how built it. No one knows this better than union markers.
Fox did an interview yesterday with a after Donald Trump left this union rally with the head of one of these union shops. I never heard this about a Republican before. I should have, because we’ve always been the party of the working man. But I’ll be straight with you. I haven’t, I haven’t heard this before. Hopefully we’ll hear more of this. Check this out. It was great to see the president come and engaging with the blue collar worker of New York City.
We basically built New York. The union movement has made the middle class and we are very patriotic union and we are pro America. So my members right now, I put out a poll in my union. President Trump is leading Joe Biden three to one on my presidential poll out of my 9000 members. Right now, we are very tired of the situation with groceries, inflation, gas prices, illegal immigration, crime.
We are living it every day in New York City, folks. You know, don’t take a leak on my leg and tell me, look, it’s a thunderstorm. You think these guys are stupid? They’re paying a, you know, $22 for a freaking egg sandwich in the local deli in a yoohoo. You think they’re dumb? They were paying what, 1212? It’s New York City. You’re probably lucky to get away with twelve.
These guys are getting screwed. They were parking their cars in the city for probably $40 a day. It’s probably $140 now. You think they’re dumb? These contractors are dealing with, hey, I got to go pour some concrete. Yeah, yeah. That’s going to be $47,000 for a little thing of concrete. It was 40 last week. Yeah, prices. You think they’re stupid? These people know exactly what’s going on. And what do I always tell you about campaigns, folks? Snapshots and sound bites.
Snapshots and sound bites. Quick sound bites and snapshots and pictures are going to change the entire course of this campaign. Here is a devastating sound. But you know, a lot of people laughed at this yesterday. This was a bigger deal than you think. They’re doing an interview with a, another union guys who walks out, they say, you have a message for Joe Biden. He had an interesting message.
Close the kids ears though. You don’t want to hear this. Check this out. Like seeing so many republicans in Manhattan, so many Trump supporters in Manhattan. Does that surprise you? No, not at all. It’s turning now. Trump’s turn again. What’s your message to Joe Biden? Fuck you. A lot of anger out there. These are the people who work for a living. They have free speech too, you know, and say whatever they want.
Joe Biden was very upset about that, by the way. He doesn’t like that. All right, I’m going to take a quick break. I’m going to give it one big sign. We’re a little bit of, actually a lot of bit of trouble with the economy. We told you about the bond vigilantes. Also, did you see what happened to the San Jose mayor, folks? Is it Chester’s? Is it bad enough yet? Pacino? Get on the case again.
Is it getting there? Yes. Is it bad enough yet? I don’t think so. But after you watch this video, you’re going to be convinced it’s getting pretty bad. If you haven’t seen this video, what happened to San Jose Bayer? This is just freaking bananas for me as a former security guy, too. This is crazy, folks, you know?

You can thank me later. All right, folks, listen, the bond vigilantes, I’ve warned you about them often bond vigilantes, this is a term you really have to get familiar with, okay? Bond vigilantes are people who go out there in the bond market and basically buy us government bonds, okay? When they buy these bonds, they obviously expect to have their money paid back or they wouldn’t be investing in the bond.
So there’s always a risk premium for a bond, right? The United States government is getting money from a bunch of people lending it money and they’re getting it relatively cheap. Right now the interest rate is the price of what it would cost to lend them money. Right, folks, here we go. CNBC ten year treasury yield leaps to the highest level in more than five months after this new GDP report.
It is only a matter of time before the bond vigilantes out there stop lending us money. When they stop lending us money, we’re going to have to offer them a whole lot more money to lend us money through a higher interest rate. Where’s that money going to come from, you, baby, and out of your wallet. Once those interest rates go up, they’re going to start though. They’re going to start to ripple through the entire economy.
Mortgage rates are going to go up. Car loan rates are going to go up. All of this stuff is going to go up and the united States will be bankrupt. We have way too much debt. We are way too interest rate sensitive right now. Just keep your eye on that. I don’t want to beat that up. I talk about it a lot, but the bond vigilantes will shut this economy down so fast if we don’t get a hold of this thing.
Now, I asked you, I hope, boccino. You’re on the case there. How many people out there think it’s bad enough that there’s going to be a mass shift in voting patterns in the united States? That is ronald reagan, 1984. All right. Not that many, obviously. You know the deal. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting there every day. You saw the union workers before. You see a lot of black voters moving over to our side, hispanic voters.
There are more and more larger chunks of voter demographics who are breaking down and starting to realize that the republican party is their only path. I’m not telling you there’s the solution. All your problems are republican. I know you guys know that. All I’m telling you is that the cause of your problems are unquestionably the Democrats. Can we all agree on that? I want you to watch this.
Is it bad enough yet this happened? I haven’t played one of these. San Jose mayor. Apparently, he’s given some interview at a local news station. Some dude just comes over, hijacks the interview, and gets into, like, a Tyson Holyfield, like, fight with this guy where they’re, like, standing and staring off each other, staring each other down. They’re, like, throwing jabs, hooks. Looks like an MMA match. Check this out.
We’re doing an interview. Sir, are you doing interview? Oh, yeah, I’m moving on. I work right there. I was just. I’m talking on the phone. You got a problem? Yeah, we’re just trying to. Okay, cool. I appreciate you my. Yeah, yeah. I’m gonna go do what? Gonna do right before you walk up. You know, either way it goes, first of all. Hold up. What? No, bro, hold up.
Hold up. No, no. I’ll smack you right now, bitch. Smack. You want to get smacked? I don’t even know what to say. Tony knows. He cut to say. That thing goes on for, like, another two minutes. The guy’s trying to do, like, a judo flip on him. They’re like. There’s like, muay Thai kicks in there. He’s, like, jabbing it. This goes on for, is it bad enough yet? It’s getting there.
Is it bad of. You know, you all know, but we’re getting there more and more. The Tony says so. California. This is the kind of thing you see in New York and California. Down here, they just put your ass right in jail. Like, 20 guys lock you up. You’ll be right. You’ll be right in a clink. All right, back to the important stuff. That’s why I wanted to kind of wrap up the show today with this really critical item, folks.
The case in the Supreme Court I addressed in the beginning right now over presidential immunity is one of the most important supreme court cases of our lifetime. It really is. It defines the very basics of the government that we live under. What are the checks and balances? Where are the red lines? Now, while I agree with the position of most sane lawyers out there, I’m not talking about the liberal nut bag that obviously presidential immunity is not absolute.
If Donald Trump were to, say, walk out of the White House one day, you know, dump his Secret Service detail, take out a 1940 switchblade and go all like sharks in the jets and shank a few dudes, I think we can all agree there would probably be an issue that is not in any way in his official duty. Say he lost his mind or did something like that, there would be some serious criminal liability.
However, the definition of what official acts are has got to be pretty broad. It has to be pretty broad because if I don’t explain this well, Tony, make sure you cut me off speaker one, because it doesn’t matter what the president’s motivations are. If you’re going to be a freaking mind reader, I could say, well, Joe Biden is engaging in this diplomatic talk in a, in a one on one with China because he’s only motivated to keep the Chinese happy so they don’t rat out his son.
The bizarre that you could apply that anywhere. When it comes to motivation, the definition of an official act obviously has to be broad or the president is going to be arrested by the opposing political party either while in or the second he leaves the White House and they’re not going to want to do anything. It has to be a broad definition. I know that doesn’t sound cute. I know a lot of people are understandably upset because it seems like there’s two justice systems, but there isn’t.
The president is a unitary executive. The power is vested in him. What he specifically does has direct impact on the branch of government. That’s not the case in the two other branches. To that degree, a Supreme Court justice can do something. It doesn’t necessarily mean a case is going to go their way. A member of Congress, only one out of 435, not the president. There has to be some broad definition of what his executive powers are and what that immunity and official acts means.
Ken, Tanji Brown Jackson, who doesn’t even know what a woman is, seem confused about this whole thing and what country she lives in. In the court yesterday, where she’s like, she describes this hypothetical and the guy’s like, you’re talking about the same country we’ve lived in for the last 200 plus years. Listen to this. Let me put this worry on the table. If the potential for criminal liability is taken off the table, wouldn’t there be a significant risk that future presidents would be emboldened to commit crimes with abandon while they’re in office? It’s right now the fact that we’re having this debate because OLC has said that presidents might be prosecuted.
Presidents from the beginning of time have understood that that’s a possibility. That might be what has kept this office from turning into the kind of crime center that I’m envisioning. But once we say no criminal liability, Mister President, you can do whatever you want. I’m worried that we would have a worse problem than the problem of the president fee feeling constrained to follow the law while he’s in office.
I respectfully disagree with that because the regime you’ve described is the regime we’ve operated under for 234 years. There has not been an expectation based on 234 years of unbroken political, all right, let me ask you another question. You see how she gets wrecked on the legal point. He’s supposed to be, by the way, the brightest legal minds of our time. They’re on the freaking Supreme Court, the most powerful court in the land.
She gets wrecked and the point just moves on. She’s basically trying to say, you know, listen, man, what’s to stop a president from losing their mind in office and doing all this stuff they don’t perceive to be some kind of criminal liability at the end? And the lawyer’s like, what are you talking about? Like, we’ve already lived under the system for 200 years and no one’s suggesting there’s no criminal liability and we haven’t had the incident you’re talking about.
So what are you even discussing? And she just immediately moves on. Folks, it’s really important we all understand this. For both, Democrat, Republican, libertarian, any president, Green Party, whoever it may be, if the definition of official acts in the presidency is in broad with some significant latitude, the opposing party is going to turn us into a third world North Korea where everything is going to be described as a crime when they get out of jail.
And by the way, we already have a remedy for this. The remedy is called impeachment. The reason impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one, although it models the criminal system, is it creates a high bar to remove a president from office who then can be prosecuted for anything because they’re not the president. But it mandates that political decisions be made about what the perimeter of that behavior was.
And it creates a high bar, a trial in the Senate with the chief justice watching over the trial to make sure that a president if he has committed some crime in office that is outside of the bounds of their official act, that at least we have some way to check that first before it gets in the hand of a local trial judge in some liberal area of New York City.
I’m sorry, but I’m passionate about this because it seems like such a common sense argument. This should be a nine nothing ruling that, yes, the presidential immunity that applies to criminal cases is expansive and civil cases even more expansive. It does touch on the outer perimeter of official acts. Even if you disagree with them, the motivation doesn’t matter because you don’t understand the motivation. You’re not in their head anyway, and you can retroactively reply that to anything.
And there’s already a process to get rid of the president. It’s called impeachment. The Democrats tried it twice. Here’s the voice of common sense on the Supreme Court for decades now. Clarence Thomas basically asking really simple questions here like, hey, you know, Operation Mongoose, though, you know, Cuba, operation. The United States government is engaged in activity for decades that could be considered actual crimes. Why haven’t we arrested anyone yet? For the same reason I just told you.
We would effectively shut down the presidency and we would shut down any function of our government. Check this out. In not so distant past, the presidents, or certain presidents have engaged in various activity. Coups, or about operations like Operation Mongoose when I was a teenager. And yet there were no prosecutions. Why? If what you’re saying is right, it would seem that that would have been ripe for criminal prosecution of someone.
So, Justice Thomas, I think this is a central question. The reason why there have not been prior criminal prosecutions is that there were not crimes. Holy shit, folks. You see the crazy lunatic lefties, how they’re flipping the script again, doing the dipsy do flip, ruin. There’s no guiding principle here at all. So, just to be clear, this hinges on two things. And the left wants discretion. The crazy lefties to kill the Jews crowd, they want discretion in both of them.
First, the left wants discretionary to prosecute republican presidents. They want to be able to use their discretion to determine what an official act is. Or is it Tony? Where could that possibly go wrong? Nothing will be an official act. Why? Because the left said so? And then after they determine what are official and unofficial acts which would destroy the presidency as you know it, destroy it. Then after that, they wanted.
They want to be able to determine if the act they decided was unofficial because they want to prosecute you as a crime or not. You understand the 75 different ways from Sunday. This could absolutely decimate the United States as we know it. Imagine, you know, the same, the left that loves military action now, by the way, under Joe Biden, 95 billion in foreign aid, they love it now, the same left with a Sydney Cindy Sheehan, whatever, code pinkers who hated George W.
Bush for the Iraq war, which, for the record, I thought was a bad idea and still do. But I actually have some principles, unlike these other losers. Right? Can you imagine if we get Donald Trump, say, back in office, and there is a attack that goes wrong in, say, Syria and some innocents get killed? I can only imagine the explanations that are going to come out of the left.
Lawrence Lessig and Van Jones and others, whatever, the same ones arguing before the opposite case about electors. I can only imagine them trying to argue that wasn’t really an official act. It was a personal motivation for Donald Trump. He’s looking to build a hotel in Syria. We’ve got a peepee tape that shows he was being bribed by the syrian government. So it’s all, can you imagine where this could go? The left loves nothing more than you leaving the perimeters of power up to their discretion, nothing more.
You see it in Arizona. Now, this Arizona case is another legal abomination, like the Twinkies case, like Fannie Willis. The Arizona attorney general is a nut. Is a nut who a lot of people believe stole her office as well. All of a sudden, this Arizona abortion controversy happens. The Arizona polls show Donald Trump up five points, and the Arizona attorney general is like, wow, look, I just indicted Donald Trump’s entire inner circle over fake electors, the same fake electors that are called alternate electors that Van Jones and Lawrence Lessing and other liberals argued for back in 2016 and 2020.
You mean those, quote, fake electors. You see how they love leaving all this up to liberal discretion. Discretion is the, the greatest weapon of the commie because they’ll always use it against you and use the same discretion to protect their own. Here’s the errors attorney, Arizona attorney general just a few months back. I want you to notice here how she makes a real point about how this supposedly blind the plier of justice in the state of Arizona.
She makes a real strong point here about how they must get Joe Biden reelected, but I’m sure she’s just going to use her discretion to enforce the law. Check this out. Well, you know, as my colleague from Massachusetts just mentioned, we absolutely have to get President Biden reelected. Because one of my fears is, despite the fact that Republicans said they wanted to send this back to states for states to decide.
I think there’s a real movement in the sort of extreme elements. You want this person to have the discretion, wide latitude and discretion in these people’s hands. Now, prosecutorial discretion is a very real thing, folks. It is. Having a degree of prosecutorial discretion is necessary in a constitutional republic. I’ll give you just a quick, easy example to understand. Okay. You know, say thin latitude rather than thick latitude.
Prosecutorial discretion. Say you’re a police officer, right? Not a prosecutor. But the example is easy to understand. You can very well say if you’re, say, doing highway patrol and someone’s speeding and you find out there’s a woman who’s pregnant in the car, you’re under no obligation to give that individual person a ticket. Call that a form of prosecutorial discretion. I get it. I understand you’re an investigator, not a prosecutor.
But you get the point. Prosecutors don’t have to prosecute everybody. They don’t. And a lot of times there’s blanket declinations and declinations of cases. The problem is what the left wants is such an expansive definition of what they call discretion that they can constantly move the borders. What they want to do is they want to issue a blanket declination on political grounds. So when I was a federal agent, if you didn’t have a financial fraud over $300,000, they would say it’s blanket decline.
It doesn’t matter who it is. They’re not going to bring it in. Okay, 300 grand, but they can’t say, we’re, you know, we’re not going to prosecute Democrats over Republicans. You get what I’m saying? What Democrats want now is they want the discretion to be able to use the law and say, I’m not going to go out on patrol and give anyone a highway ticket for speeding who’s a Democrat, but I’m going to ticket a bunch of Republicans.
That’s why they’re trying to expand the definition and discretion of what they can declare official acts and crimes, because they want to use it as a weapon against every single republican president moving forward. And, ladies and gentlemen, if they succeed, it is going to be an absolute death sentence for the republican party moving forward. I hope you understand that. So big takeaways today, folks. The iron law of contradiction.
Once you learn to recognize it, you’ll see it everywhere. Reframing. Watch what the media is doing. When your friends tell you 1. 6% GDP is absolutely fantastic, say, really? How did you feel when Donald Trump hit 3% GDP? Because a lot of people wrote about the struggling economy, yet it was twice as much as Joe Biden. Why’d you think that? You learned to see these little tricks. We’ll see right through it.
