This video presents a comprehensive political analysis covering three interconnected themes: (1) Presidential health concerns, examining visible symptoms like eye swelling that may indicate serious medical conditions such as renal failure or congestive heart failure, and the implications for leadership during national crises; (2) Economic analysis revealing stagflation risks, including oil supply shortages, manufacturing shutdowns, and rising food prices due to fertilizer costs; (3) Electoral strategy analysis demonstrating how candidate quality, grassroots mobilization, and demographic factors determine electoral outcomes, with specific examples from Iowa, Montana, and New Jersey races showing how incumbents retiring and strong candidates can shift political landscapes.
Coffee With Texas Paul! Don Van Winkle! Iran Not Impressed With Our Absentee President!Added:
Good morning and we are live. Good to see you. Good to see you. Excited, fired up, ready to go. We said we were going to talk today about uh what happened in the primaries. We're going to But we're going to We've got to talk about what's going on with Donald Trump to begin with. This guy is gone. He is out of it.
I mean, well, let's just dig into it.
Let's get started.
Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Good morning. I hope you're feeling as good as I am. I am just I am I I have been going through these election results and looking at what's going on in the in the election landscape and I got to tell you as a ride or die Democrat I am excited. I am fired up. I I am loving what I am seeing. And we're not even done with the primaries yet.
We're not I mean there few runoffs left.
There's more going on. Good lord. I got red eyes this morning. Uh that's what happens when you read all the time folks. It is.
But let's speaking of eyes, let's talk about this. You know, accuracy is important. And I said something in the last show. I said, "Look, I I've seen some black eyes. I've given a few black eyes. I've taken a couple black eyes. I am telling you what I saw with Trump did not look like a black eye. We saw it. I mean, his whole eye was just, you know, but it didn't have the, you know, the it just seemed localized. It did. and and I said, you know, that doesn't look like a black seems like something medically going on there. Uh but saw a picture of him today um from yesterday that was a closeup and I got to I'm afraid I may have to take it back. I may have been wrong. There's there's this got about five lbs of makeup on. You see the swelling's gone down a little bit, but this looks like some bruising going on here and here.
Looks like he's caking the makeup on.
But I mean, did he take a fall? Did he, you know, what what happened there uh that they're not telling us about? I had a I posted this early this morning. Um and I had a couple people uh reach out.
One ner, you know, one of them said she's a nurse. I didn't check her credentials. This was somebody posting online says that actually can happen.
that swelling can happen uh when someone has renal failure or congestive heart failure. Uh that that it can and it and it will often times be one eye that's just for some reason blown up out there, but it something's wrong with him. Something is very very wrong with him. And like I've said and been saying for a while, he's not there. I mean, he has dementia.
He can't stay awake. I mean, good god.
Imagine if this was Joe Biden. You saw the rabbid news coverage about Joe Biden because he had a piss poor debate performance. The guy had the flu. He was high as a kite on flu medication. I should say that's the wrong way to put it. Uh he was knocked out from flu medication. uh and had almost no sleep.
So, he turned in a shitty debate performance. Um and you know, we saw what happened with the media. It was nonstop for months. It was nonstop. It was the same story every single day. It didn't matter that he gave live interviews prior to that that that uh he had, you know, it didn't matter. It didn't matter. They would not let it go. They ran continuously uh with Biden's age, Biden's age, Biden's age. Uh but, you know, Joe Biden wasn't doing stuff like this. I mean, let's take a little little left turn here, but you know, you weren't seeing stuff like this posted about Joe Biden.
Um this is just laughable. This is laugh. I I made a post about this that uh Don here seems to be celebrating Pride Month with this one. Um but uh yeah, he Good Lord. Good Lord. Uh I was quickly corrected uh that even though he he does seem to have some some um what's the best way to put this? gay proclivities um that people have been pointing out, especially over Jackson Dart. Man, he has got something. I mean, he's like he he turns into Lindsey Graham when he starts talking about Jackson Dart, man.
I mean, he just I mean, he is just not able to. This is worse than when he was talking about uh Arnold Palmer's dingling, man. I mean, he really just there's something about Jackson Dart that just sets him off, man. Um, and I got to tell you, um, the gay community is not having it. I have been I have I have had several people reach out to me from the LGBTQI plus community that have told us, uh, we've seen it. We've seen the comments.
No.
It doesn't matter. He will never be part of our community. He is not part of our community. Nothing. It does not matter.
Uh but yeah, so so yeah, the LGBTQIA community has spoken uh on this one. Uh but still, it's weird. I mean, this these are actual quotes. Trump, I wish I look like Jackson Dart. Is he a male model? He is a handsome guy. A beautiful guy. Conservative guy. He said, "I I I love you, sir." Uh, when Jackson gets harassed a little bit, he also loved more. He's also loved more because we have more people than they do.
Yeah. I mean, yeah, the video is actually worse than what I'm It comes off worse. I mean, he's cuz he's like Oh, he's a beautiful guy. He's a beautiful guy. I mean, okay, bro. Sure, you do you, man. I It's not like it's a problem or anything like that, but uh yeah. Um Ron Philip, of course, responded to this one. Uh Trump wears tons of makeup, loves interior decorating, his favorite band is The Village People, and he can't stop talking about how hot guys are. Just an observation. Um again, not a judgment, just an observation. I mean, there's nothing to it. I mean, if he is, he is.
But oh man, every time Jackson Dart walks in the room, he just only time you ever see the guy perk up. I mean, okay, I'mma let it go. But it is something, man. It is something, man. I hope your coffee is as good as Martha. Thank you again for this. I I really appreciate it. This This is something else. This may be my new go-to, that anniversary brand. I hope it's not a temporary thing. Uh cuz this is some good coffee, folks. I'm telling you, it is. If you like coffee flavor without the bitter, it's good stuff.
It's good stuff. But yeah, um Trump's having some problems. I mean, it is just so painfully obvious. And I want you to think about this um as we look at these clips and and take a look at, you know, what's going on with Don.
Um Iran is not impressed.
Iran is not impressed.
It's not they they are not. Um we're facing crisis.
We're facing financial crisis. We're going into stagflation.
Um we are going into, you know, we've got a security crisis.
Uh we've got an oil crisis that we've, again, I've said this before, we've passed the point of no return. It doesn't matter if they open up the state of Hormuz today.
We're going to hit face first into a brick wall. we just do not have the oil.
There will be a few weeks there where we do not have the oil to function. We don't we will be short-handed. Um the the best way I can put it is it's like if there isn't enough meat to go around, what is your grocery store going to look like? Even if it's temporary, even if it is shortterm, there's going to be a couple weeks in that grocery store where there are shortages. You know, that's what's going on in the oil industry. We have crossed that line. The math don't math anymore.
Again, even if they open up the Gulf today, there will not be time to physically move the oil to where it needs to go.
We're we're we're going to see the shortages. We are uh and and we've got a absentee president.
It it we do we just have an absentee president. I mean this is not AI. This isn't doctorred in any way, shape, or form. I mean he almost he's falling out of his chair and it's happening over and over and over. This was just the other day. I mean it it's happening over and over and over again.
It it's it's dangerous.
It's dangerous.
I mean, we're supposed to be in negotiations with Iran.
If I'm Iran, I'm looking at this thinking, h let's give this a month or two.
Why not? Guy might die. I mean, he's, you know, I mean, really, it's it's it's getting pathetic. It's getting and everybody notices it except maybe the media.
And you can't say, "Well, the Democrats aren't calling this out." They are. This is This is This is Ted Lou uh making a very big deal about this just day before yesterday. Um Yeah. and Marco Rubio trying to pretend like it's not happening. What you see happening every damn press conference. First of all, why is he sitting?
Why is he sitting? Could you imagine if Joe Biden had given all his press conferences from behind the desk?
He can't walk.
I should have had the clip for you. I saw him getting off of Air Force One the other day and he just it was the only way to describe it was decrepit.
But yeah, look, Democrats are calling this out. They are. I mean, this is this is a problem.
>> And what American farmers grow and produce has a fair shot to be sold around the world on issue after issue.
That's been the case. You talk about foreign aid reforms. This is not our money. This is taxpayer money.
Secretary Rubio, have you been at more than one meeting >> where President Trump has fallen asleep?
>> That's false.
That's false. I've never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem because he calls me at 2 in the morning. He calls me at 5 in the morning. And you know, I like to sleep a little bit. Maybe not 12 hours or >> Okay, let's just pause this for a second. Ha. Have you ever seen him sleeping?
I have I mean just to sit there and pretend it's not happening is I mean this is this is pure gaslighting.
This this is pure gaslighting. But I would just I I pause it there because I just want to call your attention to something. He says it's a problem that he gets phone calls at at at at 2 in the morning or 5 in the morning. Did you did you see Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State?
She constantly had eyes this color.
She looked like she hadn't slept in two years because that's the Secretary of State's job because the world turns and the Secretary Secretary of State has to deal with issues. You know, it may be nighttime here, but it's night time.
It's not night time on the other side of the planet. And the Secretary of State gets phone calls at all hours. At all hours. If it can't be handled on the local level, it goes uphill. And yes, it happens all the time for this. It is one of the roughest jobs in government.
Secretary of State is one of the roughest jobs in government because you are on call 24/7, 300. There you go.
There you go. There you go. I love you people so much. I do. Wild card. You don't punch a clock. You don't put in your weekly hours. You're on all the time, 24/7, 365. I know what you meant there.
You are you're there all the time. And and and here you go. You know, you've got our Secretary of State who's supposed to be responsible for negotiation. We are at war.
I I'm not getting my six hours. I mean, folks, do these people not understand?
There is a reason, you know, people don't like it on social media. They don't. They don't. They don't like the very canned. They don't like the answers. They don't like the pause before someone speaks.
This is why they do that. This is why professionals that understand the gravity of the job that they're doing. This is why they do that. This is why they pause before they speak. This is why you see them. They will okay.
And then they'll give you an answer because they know the entire world is watching.
If you're around and you're watching this clown, are you impressed?
Are are are you are you are you feeling a sense of urgency?
Are you at all thinking to yourself, "Oh man, we've got to we've got to solve this, man. They're they're fired up over there. I mean, no. No, you're not.
You're not. But anyways, let's let's let this let's let this run >> at least 6. So he works the other day.
He was at the Oval Office in 12:30 p.m.
at 12:30 a.m. I don't know what you're talking about.
>> Cyber Rubio, I'm going to show you in a moment a video that shows you just lied to Congress.
>> Oh, okay.
>> So this is a video of a cabinet meeting literally from last month where Donald Trump is sleeping while you are talking.
Please show this video. Now, before we look at that clip, I'm going to interrupt it one more time.
Little Marco was so bad at this, you know? I mean, look, I football. I love good football. I do. I love boxing. I love a very well-trained, strategic boxer, and I love politics. I do. I love good politics. This one, when I first watched this clip, the hair stood up on the back of my neck when this when this happened.
Then I heard little Marco say, "Oh, okay."
And I was like, "Oh, yes. Got this. He's got this.
He's completely unprepared for this."
This is the equivalent of a political slow one over the plate.
It is. This is one that Marco Rubio Rubio had an opportunity.
When you directly call someone a liar, that's dangerous territory in a hearing.
It is. You better be buttoned down and prepared and have I mean, you've got to have it dialed down completely. And you typically have to lead them much more than Congressman Lou did here because when you're calling someone a liar, it's dangerous because man, it is a slow one right over the plate. They don't even have to prove themselves not to be a liar. All they have to do is show that you have crossed the line. You're no longer seeking information. You are attacking me personally. You have attacked my character. You have to It does. It changes the old I mean, if you watch this hearing, you'll see what I'm talking about. Senators will go and congressman will go to great lengths not to make that allegation.
But look how badly Marco Rubio just blows this. He is not qualified for his job. I want you to think about any Democrat that might be Secretary of State and think about how they would have responded, how they would have owned the congressman that made this allegation.
And it didn't happen. You know, I love Ted Lou. I'm not knocking Ted Lou here.
I I'm not. He got away with this one. He did. Uh it could have been different if it had been a you know, somebody other than Little Marco. whole coalition of countries that line up behind the peace deal, behind the border peace, and it's still an every day is a challenge, but it's been driven personally by the president. It's the reason why we're involved in this whole Ukraine Russia conflict. That's not our war. It's not the president's war. This war started.
It never would have happened if you'd been president. But this war is going on and the president is trying to end it.
>> You are literally talking about issues of war and peace and Donald Trump is sleeping right next to you.
>> No, he's not. If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at these important meetings where the cameras are rolling, imagine what he's like when the cameras are not there. So, I'm going to ask you, have you been at classified meetings where Donald Trump has fallen asleep or had trouble staying awake?
>> Meeting. I've never been at any meeting where and the things you're showing me now, he was not falling asleep >> and and I think you're lying for a representative asking questions about sleep.
>> Okay. Now, I want you to look at the body language there. I mean, I know we're talking about Donald Trump and the fact that he cannot stay awake, and I know that's the issue, but I I I I just don't want to let this go with Marco Rubio and his body language. First of all, when the accusation was made, compare him to even to like Bessant.
Bessant, Bessant took a couple shots on the chin.
Scott Bessant sat up straight, sat back in his chair.
When he spoke, he went I mean, he he he did he turned his head to the side, reached out, turned the mic on, and did this when he spoke.
Marco Rubio when he was addressed with this went leaning down you know I mean it just starts ding all over the start talking 200 miles an hour he's lost that complete scenario 100% lost that complete scenario and that's the kind of thing I have to tell you I love politics I love politics and so much of politics are those interpersonal relations why I keep trying to get Democrats has to understand when a Republican insults you, you cannot say, "Well, let me tell you about my policies." No, you got to punch that fucker in the throat.
You do because if you have that interpersonal exchange and you let it go, you lost.
People follow strength, not weakness.
Marco Rubio looked like a weak little I don't know what's the right word, folks.
You tell me what is the right word. Uh but yeah, it's important. It is important that we're talking about this and the media will not I I do not understand for the life of me this is money to the media. This is the kind of crisis that keeps people glued to the television.
What is going on with the president's health?
And they're not doing it.
They're not they're they're not engaging with it at all. And it and it's right, like I said, it's a slow one right over the plate for the media.
I mean, it's money for the media and they're not touching it. That that tells me that someone in the executive suite is telling them to not talk about it because I mean it is a big deal. Social media is talking about it. Social media is just having a blast with it. I mean this is they are having a blast with it. Uh you know weekend Donny's you may be dead but he's still the life of the party. Um, yeah. I mean, this they are really I I didn't make these folks. I pulled these off of social media. I I did not make these.
People are just I mean, it's obvious.
It's so painfully obvious that it's become a joke, a punchline.
This one This one This This is something. This cracked me up. This cracked me up. This Somebody posted this meme. Is he dead yet? asked Piglet. No, said Pooh. Fuck, said Piglet.
I mean, again, I mean, all you can do is laugh.
All All you can do is laugh. I This is so, you know, what do you do?
What do you do? The Democrats are calling it out every chance they get.
The media refuses to talk about it. It's a running joke on social media.
Republicans blatantly live in a fantasy land. Marco Rug, I've never seen I've never You've seen it. You've seen him fall asleep in these meetings.
You've seen the audio. I pardon me.
You've heard the audio where I mean, you've seen it, but they're just going to pretend it's not happening.
They're they're just going to they're just going to gaslight.
They control all three branches of government. What What are we going to do?
I mean, I know what we're going to do in the midterms. We're going to chain change that, but what do we do? I mean, and again, you're going to get the dumbest among us on our side that are like, "Well, the Democrats just need to message better." Well, the Democrats are saying it. They're saying it out in the open. The media will not show you. You know, more often than not, you see something on social media, it is a clip because most people on social media are lazy. They're very lazy. They will show you what the media says and does. They will do no background on it or whatever. So yeah, th the the media clips aren't there. The social media clips aren't going to be there. Uh you know, it's just the way it is. I mean, but yeah, again, what do we do?
What we're about to get rolled by Iran.
I mean, just rolled. They're going to get billions upon billions of dollars.
They're coming out of this with more power than they went into it. Um, we're being humiliated on the public stage.
Um, you know, world media, ask our ask our global audience here if they heard about the ex the exchange but between Netanyahu and Trump where they're cussing at each other on the phone over Lebanon and Netanyahu makes Trump his bitch because today, Right now, as we speak, Israel is attacking Beirut.
I mean, it's just fuck. I mean, what you know, what do you do?
What do you do? I mean, it is something.
It is something.
I just Wow.
And and it's not the first time it's happened, folks. This this is Look, this this is not AI altered shit. This is not the same. Look Look this one.
This this this was just a couple weeks ago.
Just a couple weeks ago. And this is just a couple days ago.
This is a couple days ago.
two different, you know, you see Bergams there. You see two different press conferences again. This one then this one.
Two completely different press conferences.
But Marco Rugio is going to tell you, "Nah, it didn't happen." Any Republican tell, oh, he's a juggernaut. He just wor he's the hardest working president.
Bullshit.
Bullshit.
We see it. You can't gaslight us. We We see it with our own eyes. And so does Iran. So does, you know, the governments in Europe. So does Putin. So does, you know, I mean, everybody knows that he's got dementia.
Everyone knows that he can't stay focused. Everyone knows that he can't stay awake. Everybody knows that he was dumb to begin with. Before any of it, he was dumb. Everyone sees his ankles flopping over his shoes because he's having some sort of health congestive, you know, medical issue where he's just, you know, turning into Baron Haronin in front of our eyes. I mean, it's it's it's, you know, there isn't enough aderall in the world.
But yeah, we're we're just gonna the Republican plan is just pretend it's not happening so that the bigots in rural America, you know, the the the old bigot fuckers that make up their core base can look at memes of Donald Trump with his male shirtless cheerleaders and think he's a tough guy.
Let's pretend he has muscles.
I mean, yeah, I love that one. Rip Van Stinky. Yeah.
But yeah, I mean that's where we're at, folks. That's where we're at.
And I honestly don't have a good answer for you. I really don't have a good answer for you for what we're doing. I I don't. Marcia Clipper, fivemonth member, good to see you. Morning to you.

Um, but yeah, it's it's there for you. It's there for you. ET shows just how much corporate mainstream media is all in for the mad king. Because of this, many in the country world just won't take it seriously. And it is serious.
It is serious. It's not okay that we don't have a president. That's not the way our government was designed to run.
It wasn't designed to run with everybody that runs their own department going their own damn direction. You know, they people like Stephen Miller were supposed to have leashes put on them and they don't. They don't. Kismar, fivemonth member. Glad to see you. Salute, sir.
Shandra Patton, always good to see you, Shandra. Always good to see you. Good to see you back and rested. My cussing jar got filled while you were gone. We'll give some subscriptions. Thank you, Shandra. I appreciate you. Thank you for always being here. Thanks for supporting the show. Can't do it without Kizmar.
Thanks for the support. Thank you. I appreciate you, ET. Dims need to be having daily pressers about this.
ET, they do.
They do. The media will not show up. And when they do show up, they will not play it.
That That's what I'm telling you. The Dems, the Democrats are saying it every damn day. There is a Democrat out there somewhere saying it and it it's just not covered. It's just not.
Melissa Grub, I heard that there's a case of screworm in South Texas. There is a confirmed case. Farmers are sounding the alarm, but it's falling on deaf ears in the Department of Agriculture. Let's put a pin in this. I want to explain what's important. Thank you for bringing it up, Melissa. Thank good comment. Um, look, screw has existed forever and it's a problem. It's uh spread by a fly that lays its eggs in cattle, sheep, um, pigs.
Pigs are they they lay their eggs under the skin and it they call it a screworm because of the shape of the worm. Well, here let me just let me give you an image. Let me give you an image.
They call it a screw worm because when you get a closeup image of it, it it looks like a screw.
There you go.
There. Sorry about the pause. I apologize.
It looks like a screw. It does. Um but yeah, it it grows inside. It's it's very painful. Um and it's a problem for meat production. It is a problem. They spread like crazy. Now, back when we had Democrats in government, we just dealt with this. We kept it down south. We helped Mexico treat their cattle. We helped helped them spray. Uh the reason we helped another government deal with this was so that we didn't have to deal with this.
And of course the Trump idiots because Trump isn't really president. He just has, you know, he's appointed idiots to run our government who are all on a mission to cut as many programs as possible so their Johnny got rocks donors don't have to pay for anything even though they're fucking morons and don't understand. This one's not hard to follow. It's not. Screworms exist. If we inoculate in Mexico, if we spray for it in Mexico, they don't come here and we don't have to deal with them here. We said, "Fuck everybody. Got rid of those programs, stopped helping Mexico deal with it."
Congratulations. It's now in Texas, not Mexico, not Honduras, not not Central America.
No, no, it's here now.
This isn't hard.
This is what they do. Thank you for the comment. I mean, I mean, it's important that people understand this. This this isn't academic.
It It's not It's It's not academic, folks. It matters. It matters what you're doing here. It matters the work that we do. It matters. These people that are running it, it all matters. I mean, it it's not something that we can sleep on anymore. They're showing you.
They've gotten control of all three branches of government and they're showing you what they do with it and what they're willing to to destroy. ET Biden secretary secretary of state was racking up those frequent flyer miles for quite a while there. People need to be involved and get active to help remove them. They do. They do. They do.

A b a bit of life. I'm going to say I'm going to say a bit of life is the way it's pronounced. If I got it wrong, correct me. You know what's really weird? I don't think I've ever once seen Trump laugh. Ever. That's actually weird and creepy. Yeah, you've seen him happy when he's being nasty to someone, but you Yeah, you Happiness is not a normal thing for sociopaths. It's not.

I get an email notification that you send. Vince is one of those that supports us outside the show. Thank you, Vince. I'm truly grateful. Thank you. Oregon Wine Ladies, some flour was on sale. I stocked up on flour yesterday. I now have a total of 30 lbs of bread flour and 15 pounds of allpurpose. Uh need to find a place to store Mrs. Texas Paul found a a really good Tupperware system. They're they're there. You know how big the big bags of flour are? You know what I mean? She found a Tupperware container that they fit inside. They're not cheap, but she's got like three of them in the pantry.
Oregon wine lady, thank you.
Lorraine Million, glad to see you here.
1959. Welcome back, Texas Paul. Happy you got the rest you needed. Question, why is Bitcoin taking a dump? It's lost about 50% the last year. Thanks for what you do. It keeps us sane in a world of insanity. Uh because there was never anything to Bitcoin. It is not backed by anything. It is literally just fictional. It's and yeah, the real investors that were dabbling in it took their money and ran.
They did it. It's If you think government currency can be unstable, imagine Bitcoin.
It it Yeah. I I I have always, you know, that's why I have to laugh. There's a fake Texas Paul account selling crypto.
Somebody using me to sell crypto and I can't do anything about it because they're not in the states and the platforms won't do anything. But yeah, um, Republicans are ar are ar are ar are ar are ar are ar are ar are ar are ar are ar are ar are aren't they're they're not doing anything. They're they're they're they even though Trump is weak, even though he's demented, even though he is uh politically the least popular president, I think in history now at this point in his term. Um yeah, Republicans are still just reminding us that yeah, they're not that different from Trump. They're not. Everything Trump is doing is shit that they wanted.
Uh they the Senate passed the immigration bill and uh overrode all of the attempts uh people were trying to get that goddamn slush fund that that $1.8 billion cash grab that Trump was doing.
They were trying to get an amendment stuck into this bill. Uh because they knew Democrats didn't have the vote to kill this bill. uh they were trying to get amendments put in to to permanently kill that slush fund. Remember we talked about in the last show that that that Todd Blanch refused to say he would put in writing that they're actually killed that slush fund. No, what they're doing is they're telling your drunk uncle that they're not going to do it and they're going to do it anyways.
And these Republicans are signaling, go ahead, go ahead. We're not going to do anything about it. Go ahead. Republicans are all for stealing your money.
They're all for it. Well, look, I promised that today we would we would take a look at primary results and we're going to do that. We are going to dive into that. If you are uh not into politics that way, I'm sorry, but that's what the rest of the show is going to be. Um th this is good, folks. This this really made me happy as I went through these.
You've got, of course, we talked about it in the show. Basera versus the bumbling Brexit Brit Steve Hilton. Um, you know what? On a side note, there is something I did want to show you. I did see this picture. See this picture?
This was the best one I could find for Javier Bera. If you do a search, I'll do a search. Search real quick.
of Basera versus Hilton and click images. Let me pull this up. I want to show you something how this works. And I'm going to confess something to you that I do. I y'all know me. I am a partisan Democrat. I do not hide it. I tell everybody that will listen. That means when I put pull up screen grabs or pictures or thumbnail, you know, pictures for thumbnail, any of it, if it's a Republican, it is the least flattering picture I can find.
I make them look stupid. I pull all the unflattering pictures I can find of them because I'm partisan. That's what I do.
That's what I do. I don't hide it. I don't hide it. But these people are pretending are pretending to be unbiased. And let me show you the things that they're doing. This is ABC News. ABC is one of the worst offenders. That picture I showed you was from NBC, but ABC is one of the worst offend. Look at this. See this? See this?
They show Steve Hilton. The lighting is good. It's a somewhat as flattering as a picture of Steve Hilton can be. Then look at the picture of Bisera.
You're telling me the guy that handles the digital stuff at ABC just couldn't find a better picture of Javier Bisera.
It's a down low. Notice the angle of the pictures down low. And he's smaller than Steve Hilton. That That's a little something that we do when we're pulling these thumbnails up.
If you want somebody to look stronger, you make them bigger in the picture.
And I mean, they're not the, you know, I I I got to tell you, ABC is one of the worst offenders. This is another one from ABC.
Now, let me put this in a Let me put this in a separate so that you can see Let me put this in a separate tab so you can see just the picture.
ABC is one of the worst. Whoever's doing this at ABC is either being told to or has a personal axe to grind because all of their pictures are like this. And if you don't do this professionally, you don't realize what you're looking at.
But every one of their side by sides, look at Steve Hilton here. Good lighting, good angle. Look at the picture of Bisera. He's smaller.
Notice the size of his head versus Steve Hilton's here. The lighting is poor.
Not a very flattering picture.
And they do it over and over and over again. These news networks are doing it.
All of them are guilty of it. They are all guilty of it.
LA Times is the only one I found that had a really good picture. You know what? You get the point. You get the point. You get the point. It's just one after the other.
If you want to make somebody look weak, you show them in very bright lighting, white, pale skin.
They do that to Tom. They did that to Tommy Styer over and over and over again. If you look at if you go back and you look at all the sideby-side pictures of comparing the candidates, the picture of Steve Hilton looks like it was done in a photography studio. The picture of Javier Bisera is piss poor lighting and it's usually at an angle from down here looking up.
It's one of the most unflatter. That's why when you see me do videos, phone's up here. You can catch the top of the hat. Good angle on the face.
If you do people, you'll see people that do you know with hold the phone like they're they normally look at their phone. The videos look terrible because they're looking down which makes them always look like they have a double chin.
This is not accidental. These are people that do this for a living, folks.
They do this for a living. But yeah, I just wanted to draw your attention to that as we look at some of these p at some of these sideby-side pictures. Um, we'd already talked about Basera. That's beautiful. Beautiful. It's going to mean coattails in California. Uh Karen Bass.
Absolutely. And yet, forgive me, I've got notes. We got so many of them here to run through. I got notes. Karen Bass versus Spencer Pratt. Uh she's going to beat the dog snot. She's going to beat the brakes off of Spencer Pratt. She is.
This is This is really good. We had a a a DSA candidate, Democratic Socialist candidate, uh that she beat pretty handily. Um we're going to have to deal with that. I understand the factions within the Democratic Party, but the DSA is trying to act like a party that's not really their own party, but they're using they're they're parasiting on the Democratic party.
They're using our apparatus.
And it's, you know, I don't have a problem with the Democratic Socialist America, but um you need to set up your own party apparatus. You do. If you're going to be a third party, you're going to act like a third party, damn well be a third party, you know? I mean, it's just it's just where I'm at on that. I mean, and I if you're going to be part of the party, then godamn it, fight for the party.
Be a part of the party.
you know, we've we've got Minnesota has has their own version. No problem with them whatsoever because they they are part of the Democratic party. They're part of the Democratic, you know, system.
The DFL, they they they do it. But the Democratic Socialists, they're crossing a line.
They're crossing a line. And we need to have a come to Jesus meeting about that.
We really do. We really do. In New Jersey, California is looking great.
California is looking great. It really is. A lot of momentum in California. New Jersey. Uh Cy Booker handily Handley won his primaries. Uh he's going to be facing off against Justin Murphy.
He's going to he's going to kick the dog shit out of Justin Murphy. Justin Murphy couldn't raise any money. Uh he's he's in debt already. His campaign is in debt is negative. Uh and he's got no chance, so he's not going to raise any money.
This is going to be the poorest candidate in the state. Uh he is uh just running against Cy Miller. Cory Booker was stupid. He shouldn't have run. He just shouldn't have run. He shouldn't have. Um this is going to be an interesting one. This is This is one uh that I'm looking at. This is This is This is going to be good. This is going to be good. Uh you got Rebecca Bennett in in New Jersey's seventh district.
This is Rebecca Bennett. She's the Democrat. Um I didn't have a sidebyside of them together. She is running against Tom Keane.
One second.
Got to answer a question real quick. One second.
She's running against Tom Tom Keane. Um and she's got this. She's got this. This is going to be a good one. Uh what makes it interesting is Tom Keane is gone.
He is the rep from the New Jersey 7th district. Um, he is gone. This is going to be a flip. This is going to be a pickup.
It really is. Nobody knows where the hell this guy is. It's been like three months. He hasn't been in DC. He hasn't been on the campaign trail. He won his primary anyways, but he's not campaigning.
His staff is said, "Oh, no. Everything's fine. This is this is normal. It's okay. It's okay." Uh, and people keep asking, "Then where the fuck is he?
He's not in his office doing his job.
He's not in DC. He's not in any meetings. He's not in He's just fucking gone for three months. What's going on here? Something weird is happening.
Something really weird is happening. And we're moving to the general election.
This is going to this is going to come to a head. This is New Jersey 7th. By the way, the the reason he was able to win uh his last election is if you look at where, you know, this is the this is the border of New Jersey here. Um this is kind of a very this is rural New Jersey. Uh there are no major population centers uh in in the seventh district. You've got Princeton down here. Um you know, of course, Newark and and o over here. The seventh district is very very rural. And Tom Keane won his barely won his last election. Um but yeah, he's this is going to be a flip, folks. We're taking this seat. We are going to take this seat. We've got a good candidate. Uh, she's sharp on the stump. Nobody saw her coming. Everybody expected the established Democrat was going to win this. No, she came out of nowhere, man, and took this. Rebecca Bennett is on fire. This is going to be a good one to watch. This is going to be a good one to watch. Um, but yeah, it's it's it's it's it can flip. Even though it's it's rural, it's not like Texas rural.
I mean, this district is is is one the median income is 136,000, median property values 530,000.
Um the it's a very white district. It is it's a very white district. Um it's it's got a strong Asian population. Um but yeah, the the demographics in this district are one that we've got a shot to flip this one. We really do. This is going to be a good one to watch. It is.
We're going to have to keep an eye on that one. Um, New Mexico real. Oh, this is going to be fun. This is going to be fun. Debb Howland, if you don't remember Deb Howland, she was the interior secretary for Joe Biden. Um, she blew out her primary. I mean, just absolutely nailed it. 100% nailed it.
Yeah, Debb Howland is she she's running against Greg Hull here who is uh I this morning when I was doing he's kind just I mean look at the guy look at the guy he he's the mayor of uh Rio Rancho but he is not he's not prime He isn't. She's going to kick the crap out of him. She's from Winslow, Arizona. Wonder if she's got a flatbed Ford and I wonder how many people are old enough to actually get that one. Um, but yeah, the new New Mexico governor, she's got this. She's going to need some support, but yeah, we're not going to have to spend a fortune in New Mexico on that one. or or we've got uh let's see, Ben Yeah, Ben Ben Luhan versus Larry Marker. Uh Larry.
Yeah, I I don't I don't see this one either. I I don't see this one being a problem either. This should be an easy win for us. An easy keep. Um Larry was a rightin.
Yeah, he uh I I'm not seeing a lot I'm not seeing a lot out of out of this guy. Um he's just one of those weirdo ma deep ma.
Thank you. One of those deep ma guys that just looks Yeah, he's not going anywhere in New Mexico. He's not. He's not. I mean, it's justm Ben Luhan is a good candidate. He comes from a good family. Uh he's got strong ties to New Mexico. He's going to kick the shit. He's He's just going to kick the shit out of him. He is. Um Larry Mar.
The only reason he's on the ballot is he just barely broke 4,000 votes as a ride in. So yeah, he's got that little core that that showed up. It's Yeah, it it's not it's not serious. It's just not. Uh, let's go. This is This is the one that got me the most excited. Iowa results from Iowa. This is This is going to be fun. Rob Sand versus Zack Lane.
Rob Sand versus Zack Lane. Zack Lane is on the left here. Rob Sand is the Iowa State auditor. The Democrat Iowa state auditor in Iowa. Yes, he's a Democrat.
He's already won an election, a statewide election in Iowa. Uh he's really good on the stump. He's got a great looking family. Um he he's a he's an attorney. Um he is he is really good.
Uh Zack Lane is exactly in this environment who you would want to run against. And what what's what's really interesting is that he was not the candidate that the Republican establishment wanted.
He's not. Uh they were trying to get Randy Fenstra in. Trump endorsed Fenstra.
Fenstra gave up his seat, which may end up being a possibility for another flip.
He's in a pretty red district, but we may nail this one. We may nail this one.
Um, but yeah, he lost. He lost.
And the reason he lost is part of the MAGA right-wing talking, you know, the like libs of tick tock, the gross ass fear. Anyways, Jordan Peterson, y'all know who Jordan Peterson is. Uh, loves absolutely loves Zack Lane. I mean, they go flying at Zach Lane's airplane together and shit like that. So, he had this cabal and he barely squeaked out the primary, but yeah, this guy is a vulture capitalist.
He is He's a vulture capitalist and he went and bought his old family far. He wasn't a farmer.
He's insulting Iowa farmers because he's a vulture capitalist, but he went and bought his family's old farm so that he could look like a farmer running for office.
He's got that kind of He's that kind of rich that he can just, you know, hey, run for office. Got to buy got to buy a farm. You know, it's Iowa. So, yeah, Rob Sand is a is a strong candidate. um he's going to need a lot of support, but yeah, we could be flipping Iowa, folks.
The next governor of Iowa very well will likely be a Democrat.
Um couple races that I wanted to call your attention to. District one, we've got uh uh uh Christina Bohannan.
This is one you may recommend. You may recognize her opponent.
Marionette Meek Mills is on the right.
She is the MAGA nutter that I mean the most dangerous place on the face of the planet is between Mills and Trump's taint.
I'm telling you. And Christina Bohan, she's young. She's a great candidate.
She's got roots in Iowa. She is She is going to give her They had This This This is a rematch in the last election.
Bohan got within like 800 got within 800 votes of unseating her and she didn't have the wind at her back that we have now.
So yeah, this is looking like it's also going to be a pickup. This is why people are like, "Paul, why are you so confident that we're going to take Congress? Why are you so I'm telling you, this is why when you start looking at what's going on on the ground and why do I think the Senate's up for up for grabs?" This is why this is why this this is this is going to be a shocker for Republicans. They think, "Oh, we got a we got a pretty little Barbie. We got this set. Iowa, we got this set. Oh, no.
This th this is this is not by any means this is going to be the shocker on election night. You watch uh this is Josh Turk uh on the right. He is a veteran uh disabled veteran. He's in a wheelchair. Um he is just doing a fantastic job. He blew his primary out.
He did he did an amazing job. He really did. his opponent, uh, Ashley Henson.
I want you to go just Google her. Listen to her speak.
The word snot comes to mind. And I don't mean snot because like, you know, nasal problem, shit like that.
She is a snot. She comes off like a brat. She is unpleasant to say the least.
You're going to see them pull her off the trail. She annoys the fuck out of every If you think Katie Britt is like nails on a chalkboard, wait till you listen to Ashley. She is She is She is This is going to be the shocker on election night. This is really giving me jollies that we we're going to flip the Senate. Also, I really I am excited about that. Uh, you've got Dave Dawson versus Chris McGowan. This is going to be the toughest fight on election night.
This is going to be the tough in Iowa.
This is going to be the toughest fight.
This is Dave Dawson versus Chris McGown.
Um, yeah, Chris McGown has a lot of business relationships. The the Republican on the right there has a lot of business relationships. He's a Chamber of Commerce guy. Um, but Dave Dawson, he is he's sharp, man. He's an attorney. He is a good candidate. He understands the state. He understands the issues. He has the momentum at his back. Iowa is not a given this year. Farmers are pissed.
Even Republican farmers are pissed. They are. Um, yeah. This is this is this is real. This is really real. Iowa is looking like it's going to turn blue this election. And solidly blue. Not just a little bit. I mean, solidly blue.
Um, we we've got an interesting here.
This is one that nobody saw coming, including me. This was a shocker, man.
This is this is really a shocker. You got Kurt Allen.
And by the way, the reason that that Senate race is even up in Iowa, let me talk about Iowa again before we move on to Montana. Let me talk about Iowa again for one thing. The reason that that Senate race is up is because Joanie Erns saw the writing on the wall. She saw where the momentum, she was an incumbent and she said, "I'm out of here, man.
Trump is killing us." She knew she was not gonna win her re-election rather than lose her re-election. She retired.
She's just not running. That's why that Senate seat is up for election. I mean, it it it is really I'm telling you folks, watch Iowa election night. That's going to be the one that Steve Poraki keeps pulling up on his board. Let's go to Iowa and take a look at I'm telling you, this is going to be This is exciting. This is one of the ones that had me really fired up.
That Senate race in Iowa is going to be good. It is going to be good. This is This was a shocker. did not see this coming. Montana may be in play. I did not see this coming. This this Democratic candidate, Alani Bankhead, was not the one that everybody, including myself, thought was going to win this primary, and she came out strong. She has done some work on the ground. Folk, the only reason that this happens is because you've got a candidate that has done the work on the ground.
Kurt Almy is he's a mediocre candidate.
He is. He's just he's he's a mediocre candidate. He really is. Um this is for Montana Senate. Um yeah, he's he Steve Danes again, just like Joanie Erns, Steve Danes retired, leaving this. This is one that we really have a strong chance here, folks. Alani Bankhead has just really rocked the political world. Nobody saw her coming and she nailed it. I mean, she won decisively, folks. That means she has done the groundwork. That means she has strong local support.
Yeah, we we are we are looking at some some good some good races. One second.
This is going to be a bit of a fight, but it's one we have a strong shot in. Sam Forestag versus Aaron Flint. Again, this is one that comes down to candidate quality.
For stag is good. I mean, he politically he is good. He is a natural. He is good at this. He really is. It's not his background, but he is good at this. Um, this is this is Montana's first. And again, with the momentum that we have, and you know, Montana only has two districts.
This is what we're talking about. It's on the left, not the one on the right.
We're looking at the first district.
Boseman.
Bosezeman is in the first. And I know this is the second district. I know. Missoula.
All of these population centers are where the Democrat can really clean up.
It's a re We have a real shot here, folks. We really do. We have a real shot here. Um, in the second district, we got Nikki Nikki Grley versus Marty Jackley. Marty Jackley again, uh, he's an establishment Republican. Uh I believe he's the uh the uh attorney general. Um again, it's going to be a fight, but we we've got a shot there. That's in South Dakota, folks. I'm sorry. In South Dakota. Um this is this is Nikki Grley.
This is Nikki Grley. I don't have a sidebyside of them. And this is Jackley again.
unappealing.
He's just, and I don't just mean physically unappealing. I mean, he is just the way he talks, the way he conducts himself. Candidate quality ma water. It matters. It matters. Normally, I would just ride off South Dakota and say, "No, not that." No. But with the momentum we have, the difference between the two candidates, it is really looking good, folks. It is really looking good.
And I have to tell you, Republicans are just grasping.
They are. They know they're in trouble.
They really know they're in trouble.
They are going for anything they can.
They new attack on Terico. I'm not even kidding. Did you know James Talerico was texting a student at 11:00 at night? Do you know that he was texting a student at 11:00 at night? Oh, must be something wrong. Problem is the text exchange is Terico being a teacher.
Yeah, he was being a teacher. The student reached out to him. He was giving him academic advice.
That's it. That That's the whole scandal.
It's it it's that the text exchange happened at 11 p.m.
Um, anybody that has a kid knows that kids don't understand. You probably shouldn't text that late, but James Salerico didn't shit all over this kid. He actually answered the kid's question. It was an academic question.
And that's it. That That's the whole thing. That's their newest attack. Oh my god. James Taler Rico must be transgender dude talking to kids and he's not transgender. He's not gay. He's straight. Um they don't know what to they don't know whether to scratch their watch or whine their ass when it comes to Taler Rico. On one hand, they're like, "Oh, he looks transgender or gay, and oh, by the way, this is his girlfriend. Um, isn't she weird because she's a vegan? Uh, but she's freaking hot and smart and just a political force in her own right. Um, they don't know which direction to go with Terico.
They're like, Ter Rico is is, oh man, he's talking to a student at 11 o'clock at night. See, look at this text exchange. And it's like, "Oh, wow. He's being a great fucking teacher, huh?" They don't know what to do. They don't They don't know what But they're throwing shit at the wall trying to get it to stick. They really are. This is one that they've got. Oh, man. I tell you what, they are all excited about this. The job numbers came out for May.
Now, let me give you a little inside baseball.
The job numbers are always good in May.
Anybody know why? Does anybody know why the job numbers, even in a shit economy, the job numbers are always good in May?
Take a while. We're This is We're going into the round table part of it here.
Let's just, you know, bingo. Didn't take a second. Didn't take a second. It's spring. It's spring. The job numbers are always good.
Always good in May. It's spring.
Everybody's coming out of their houses outdoor. Exactly.
Exactly.
Exactly. It's always good in May.
Always. So, let's take a look at these job numbers because the Republicans are breaking their arms, patting themselves on the back because the economy created 122,000 jobs. Now, every time one of these come out, I like to remind people the minimum number of jobs you need to create every month is 220 to 240,000 jobs. Yes, tourism. That's a big one.
I'm going to show you these numbers.
Tourism is a big one. 8,000 of these jobs are tourism jobs, which should tell you the economy is not doing too freaking great because tourism should have be been a much much larger part of this number and it wasn't. It was only 8,000 this year.
But yeah, I mean I Let's scroll up. You can ADP does a really great job a really of breaking down where construction spring summer construction should be off the hook. This should be one of the largest drivers. It's not. It's only 8,000 jobs. Transportation and utilities 36,000. That's your biggest chunk right there. Transportation and utilities. Why the utilities? Data centers. Data centers.
That's where those jobs are coming in right there.
Uh, professional and business services.
This is always an iffy one, you know, because AI is telling us they're going to replace all those jobs anyways.
Education and health services, teachers and nurses, hospital employees. Again, not where you want to see your economy driven. That's the largest nonprivate businessy. I don't consider hospital jobs to be an economy driver. I don't Let's be honest. Healthcare is a net cost. It's not a net adder. It doesn't, you know, it's not an something that drives your economy. If you're spending a fortune on your health care, you've got a problem.
You've got a problem. It's not what I look to for a healthy economy. And that is the largest single number that ADP put out is healthcare and teachers. That that that was it.
This is the one that was the red flag for me. Leisure and hospitality only 8,000 jobs in these numbers. And I I will tell you, anybody that's had any experience looking at these numbers know that one, only 122,000 jobs in May is not that great. It's more than what we expected because we know the economy is in trouble, but uh yeah, it's it's it's not great. It's really not.
Um and yeah, just took a look. The Dow is responding accordingly.
It's more jobs than they expected, but look at what the Dow's doing anyways.
It's down almost 400 points today on these job numbers. So, yeah, that'll give you some idea. But folks, you know, I'll put my money where my my mouth is.
Would anybody like to guess without googling? Let's do the whole Let's do the whole guess thing. Uh Biden, remember how they talked about Joe Biden's economy? And you know, hey, I I even admitted it.
They were strangling the economy to fight inflation. They were. What do you think Joe Biden in his last year that he was in control? All Biden.
These are numbers that have been revised downward.
How many jobs do you think he produced in 2024? May 2024, his last year of actually running the show. What do you think he produced in May?
Don't cheat. Don't Google it. Wild guess. What do you think he produced?
H That's interesting. That's interesting because this was the original this was the original estimates was just over 300,000 that they revised down.
They revised them down to Eevee Zant.
You're nailing it today. You're you're nailing it. Um she's or she's one of the closest. Um it was 272,000 jobs that Joe Biden created when he was intentionally strangling the economy to bring inflation down. They created 272,000 non-farm payroll jobs. That's the ADP numbers compared to Trump and his 122,000. And again, Republicans are are are are breaking their arms, patting themselves on the back because they created 122,000 jobs in May.
This is where we're at, folks. This is where we're at. You got to, you know, your drunk drunk uncle and Cletus are going to be all over social media.
Woo! Look at them job number. It's not shit. It's not. Everybody knows it.
Everybody knows it. They sat there and bitched. You heard them. They scream like gutshot hogs. Oh, worst economy ever. Oh my god, it's terrible.
272,000 jobs what we did and you thought it was terrible.
And yes, it will be revised down because they're lying. They're lying on these polls. And I don't mean just the government's lying. I mean, the companies are lying about how well they're doing. It's just it happens. And the We talked about this in a previous show. When there's an economic downturn, the last people to admit that it's really happening are the companies responding to these polls. That's why these numbers are always wildly revised down several months later when it's obvious that the economy is tanking.
And it is obvious the the economy is tanking. And what's worse, does anybody is anybody as old as I am?
Are you old enough to remember stag place? We've got generations that have never experienced the hell that is stagflation.
That's what Donald Trump has managed to bring back.
The Fed is in full freakout mode and it's going to get worse. It's It's going to get worse. We're out of oil globally. We're out of oil. We are now we we just want and and let me correct that. Let me correct that. We're not out of oil.
We have fallen below our monthly requirements for oil.
So yeah, you know what happens when that happens? That means manufacturing gets shuttered. That means that that tightness in oil supply means that the real world cost of oil goes up greatly.
That means refiners start losing money, which is one of the rarest unicorns on the face of the planet. That's already happening in Europe right now. Refiners have gone negative in Europe. They're losing money refining oil, which means they clamp down on the amount of oil that they refine, which exacerbates the problem, making fuel prices higher.
This is the hell that is stagflation.
You got a choking economy. We're not creating the jobs that we should be or we're losing jobs in most months that aren't May, you know, spring, summer, you know, blah, all of that negativity.
Plus, food prices are skyrocketing because crop yields are shit.
part drought leading into piss poor policy that the Trump administration is doing willfully that's causing these issues because we don't just get oil, you know, ask farmers about ura. We don't just get oil out of the Persian Gulf, we get fertilizer out of the Persian Gulf, which means this year's crops are screwed because of drought. But again, let's just live in fantasy land and pretend the drought's over and we're getting everything that we need. Well, farmers aren't fertilizing because fertilizer prices are so high, which means crop yields will be down.
This is longterm. This is systemic.
This is what stagflation looks like.
prices skyrocketing, jobs and wages are not people are losing their jobs. We lived through this before. It is not good, folks. It is the worst of both worlds because typically when you have stagnation of the economy, prices come down due to a lack of demand.
The fundamentals in this economy are going to drive prices up even with no demand.
And God forbid things like screworm go nuts.
You know, they did this and you can't say this enough.
These idiots, these Trump regime idiots did this without a crisis.
They did it all by choice.
You know, we're talking about will Screworm end up doing what Screworm does? Will they be able to handle the situation?
That didn't happen before.
There is no screw screworm crisis at this point.
You know, this is just a situation where people like me are saying that could be a real problem going forward.
They weren't facing any real problems.
They weren't facing any crisis. Crisis.
The Ukraine war was winding down.
This was by choice. This was Netanyahu saying, "I want more land. I'm going to steal Lebanese land."
This is Netanyahu telling his bitch Trump, "Go attack Iran and destroy the global economy.
And Iran is sitting back watching Don Van Winkle and these weak idiots around him and they're unimpressed.
They just attacked more of our bases in Kuwait.
They are unimpressed.
Yet Wall Street are living in complete delusion.
Everybody has been saying, all the sane people have been saying forever and a day, stock valuations are detached from reality. You know, you've got Tesla that they couldn't sell enough cars for the math to math.
People have been talking about we need a massive correction in the stock market.
Then on top of that, you've got private lending, private lenders that are in crisis. That that is a full-blown crisis that is happening right now. Nobody's talking about it. And the the delusional freaks on Wall Street are actually running articles that are saying, "Yeah, it's going to happen, but it's not going to affect anybody else because, oh, it'll just be contained in that one sector." Bullshit.
When has it ever been contained to one sector when something like that?
Bullshit. They're delusional.
delusional.
How do you know? Trump last week says, "Oh, we got a peace deal with Iran."
Really? What changed? What fundamentals changed to make you believe that you actually have a peace deal? Iran immediately said, "No, we don't. Not even close."
Nope.
Israel still attacking Lebanon.
Nope. No fundamentals. Wall Street said, "Woohoo! Yay! We've got peace.
And the stock market took off like crazy.
Today, everybody realizes, oh no, there was no deal.
Exactly. Trump is the crisis. Well said.
Well said. Trump is the crisis.
This is by choice, people. It's all stupid policy that did not have to happen if we had elected Democrats. If we'd elected the smart lady, none of this would be happening.
Oh, damn. That coffee is good. Hey, you got to look for that silver lining. Got to look for that silver lining.
So, I want to throw a couple things out there. One, Nancy, thank you for Thank you for this. This is This was really nice. This was really Nancy sent sent me a shirt. I appreciate it. Let me let me open it up. She sent me some coffee and a shirt. I appreciate you, Nancy. Thank you very much.

I love that. Thank you very much for the coffee. I appreciate you. I really appreciate you.
SGA KSG thoughts on section 224 of NDA 2020 27 whereby US and Israeli militaries will be exonerably inexonerably linked forever. This is real. This is happening. This is this is going to be this is going to be one of the big parts of Sunday's show. Uh but I'll touch on it a little bit since you asked. Um, yeah. Section the NDAA, that's our military spending. That's that's what it is. Uh, it's the National Defense Authorization Act. Um, yeah, they've got section 224 of the National Defense Authorization Act ties Israel to our military intelligence and development.
Let me say that again. Section 224 of the NDAA ties Israel to our military intelligence. Not just our military intelligence, our intelligence, period, and our weapons development.
There's literally no seam between the United States and Israel. They're combining them.
Yeah, that that's really happening.
That's real. I'm going to go into it in depth on Sunday. Um that's insane. We don't do that with our NATO allies. We didn't do that with Britain. We didn't do that with any of our allies.
We didn't do that England, France, nobody. We have never done that.
That is part of the National Defense Authorization Act that they're trying to push through. Republicans are trying to push through. Meanwhile, I've got people that I'm fighting with on social media that are like, "Oh, Democrats and Apac."
No, folks. No, we have to elect Democrats. These Republicans are literally making Israel part of our national defense establishment.
It's insane. It is insane.
Yeah. Section 224. Google it. We're going to talk about it on Sunday.
Melissa Grub, you always tell us you're you're not a financial advisor. We advisor. We know you are honest with us and don't sell anything but awesome cups and pins. Thank you. I appreciate that.
I appreciate that. I'm very proud of my cubs. Oh, by the way, got a new one. Got a new one. Y'all know me. I am John Lewis is Find yourself a teacher.
John Lewis, Paul Wellstone is another one. But John Lewis is extremely influential.
The courage that he has shown yet the grace that he has shown. And we're coming up uh in July on the six-year anniversary of his passing. Can you believe it's been 6 years? So yeah, I made a cup honoring John Lewis. But yeah, that's the new cup. Come on, focus.
That's the new cup.
One of the more famous quotes from John Lewis is freedom is not a state, it is an act. in that freedom is not a state of existence.
Freedom exists because you act, because you make it happen every day.
And yeah, I'm very proud of this one.
I'm very proud of this one.
I miss John Lewis. I do. I miss him a lot. He was If you don't know who John this was John Lewis, you'll recognize him instantly.
Here's one of the our nation's greatest, bravest leaders.
Endured hate like no one you've ever seen, but kept pure grace and decency. He lit up a room when he walked into it. He was just one of those guys that just lit up the room. But yeah, his the anniversary of his passing, six year anniversary of his passing is coming up.
And he's one of my heroes, so I made a cut.
ET, they're dogging platiner hard, but crickets with Popeye. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Same shit, different day.
You have if if y'all haven't heard I wasn't going to talk about I wasn't even going to give it a time a day. If y'all haven't heard, a Republican activist by her own self-description, a Republican activist that worked for the Heritage Foundation, worked for Susan Collins, has now said that she was dating Graham Platner and that when he was dating her, he grabbed her arm really hard once and that he's just he's just mean and abusive.
And I'm supposed to accept that.
I'm sorry. I don't I I don't I don't accept it. I don't I don't accept that someone that is worked for Susan Collins is uh somebody that I should just take their word five days out from an election. I I I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And the media knows better and they're running with it like it is gospel.
They would never do that to a Republican. Never. Never. They would never do that to a Republican. ET, their dog. Yep. Yep. Melissa Grub, Texas Paul, you have the best mods. Thank you. Thank you. They're wonderful people. They do this voluntarily. They are just good people. John Gomez, can you explain what it means when a politician is too far left? Um, yeah. When a politician gets to the point that they no longer understand or or look practically at situ I I'll give you an example.
Um we have a problem with some of the environmentalists in our movement on our side under our side of the we're a big tent. We are on our side of the tent. Um, you got people like me. I'm a lefty. I am. I love to fish. I love to hunt. I want to protect your drinking water. I want to protect the environment. But I also know that even if you got rid of all electric vehicles today, all of them, you'd still need 45% of the oil that we consume because of chemical feed stocks. You want paint on that car. You know, this monitor I'm looking at is made out of plastic. Many of the manufacturing processes to make the electronics require petroleum products that the petroleum feed stocks.
There are people in our ranks that don't adhere to practicality at all.
They encourage people uh to take positions that are unacceptable that that can't happen that you know folks the business of America is business. Now I will shit all over Vulture Capitalists all day long but I'll be the first one to tell you this is why I hate the corporate dim label.
You know, it to me it's like people that attack Taco Bell. I happen to like Taco Bell. And you know what? You do too. At 2:00 in the morning when you're drunk, you love it.
You know, I mean, I'm getting off in the weeds here.
There is a segment on our side that don't adhere to reality that are so far left. They're willing to say anything.
They're willing to say we have to have draconian standard standards on cars because we need electric vehicles because oil is bad.
Well, you know, that kind of thinking means that hydrogen fuel cells don't get the support that they should be getting.
Yeah. I mean, that is a great alternative to protect the environment.
Hydrogen fuel cells. We don't have the electric infrastructure for everybody that could use an electric vehicle to go to an electric vehicle.
We don't But hydrogen fuel cells, they deal hydrogen fuel cells can be built into big rigs. They're essentially generators is what they are.
And their byproduct is water. That that's what they spit out. Water is is what hydrogen generators produce.
And I don't even mean like, you know, like polluted water. I mean, you could you can drink what comes out of a hydrogen fuel cell.
But we have some people in our party that just they get a short sound bite and they don't care about the truth.
They don't care about the the country.
They don't care about We will always need oil.
Always.
You want to lubricate that electric machinery that you manufacture. That's going to take oil.
There are some situations. Good luck running a farm tractor off electricity.
If you don't have something like a hydrogen fuel cell where you can put an an inexhaustible amount of rechargeable fuel at any moment, day or night, into that tractor, you cannot. Now, I'm not saying that they can't be electric.
Hell, diesel locomotives are electric.
But you need a energy source that is immediate, instantaneous, always available in inexhaustible amounts. That is hydrogen.
Hydrogen will be made from oil. We will refine it.
So yeah, if you shit all over refineries, if you shit all over the oil industry, you're shitting all over yourself. And yet we have some politicians that are too far left that won't be practical. And what do they do? They drive money out of the Democratic party.
They do. They just make it hard to win elections because you've got people that work in those industries that will not support us. They just won't because many of our views are unreasonable.
That's what I mean by too far left. And trust me, I'm a lefty, man. I'm a universal health care, national education, uh, free for anybody and that can earn the grades. I'm not saying education's free. It costs money. It costs tax money, but I think it's an investment. I'm against stupid wars.
I I think we need to slash them. I'm a lefty, man, and I'm telling you, there are some people in our party that are just too far out. They're unpractical.
They just are. That's what I mean by that. Great question, John. Thank you for asking it. Thank you. That's what I mean. Monica Meadows was wondering if you were able to watch Kyle Clark question. Victor Marks at the GOP GOP debate in Colorado. We need more like this. No, I got Were you the one that sent me the email on this? Were you the one I haven't watched it yet. I haven't gone back to look at it yet. Um, but yeah, I, you know, I've heard this, I I I have heard more than one person talk about Victor Marx that he is just out there, just insane. So, yeah, that is one that we're going to have to watch. I haven't watched it yet. No, thank you. ET, going into the general people, if you don't want to see your candidates taking corporate money, then do something to help them. Time and or money helps them.
Folks, we cannot replace corporate dollars in the political system. Nobody else will tell you this there. Everybody wants to pretend that we can finance it ourselves. We can't. We can't. And that means making the sausage and it's always ugly. And the purists have to stop attacking us for paying the fucking bills, man.
We just do. It's a balance. And the Republicans are showing you they don't give a shit about you.
So stop shitting on Democrats. Stop.
And yes, they're going to take some corporate money. They are. They have to.
Thomas Keane. I assure you all that's not me. No, it is not to It is not that Thomas. Not that Tom King. Holy hell.
What uh what about the rep candidate from Colorado governor that would not answer whether he killed people? That's Markx. That's who we're talking about.
Uh he said he was forced to murder someone at 7 years old.
Yeah. And then wouldn't answer how. They asked him, "Well, have you killed anybody else?" And he went dead silent.
Yeah. This dude Kate Marylite, worst news is the cancellation of all the deep ocean tracking that helps forecast tsunamis, etc. Oil bros in charge. Actually, that's not from the oil bros. That's not who did that. That's the Trump administration and the brolarchs that don't want to pay for shit.
That's your private equity equity people, your your your Howard Nutlicks and your, you know, Scott Bessants, those people that don't want any taxes.
Yes, our tsunami warning system doesn't just track tsunamis. It also tracks what's going on with earthquakes there. I mean, there's tons of data and tons of They just killed it. They just killed it.
Like, it doesn't matter if tsunamis hit the California coast. It doesn't matter if we track the earthquake. And I mean, this is all stuff we're going to have to fix, man. We're going to have to fix it all. They're destroying everything we built.
Oh, I'm going to destroy this one. I am so sorry. Add a Samoa, how close did I get a Samoa, tell me in the comments how close I got. Thank Thank you for the support. I'm truly grateful.

Katherine Ryan, fivemonth membership.
Salute. Salute.
Kathy McIntyre. Five month members.
Thank you for being here. Thank you.
Thank you for being here. Thank you. I appreciate you. ET, did you see Reese Waters dragging MAGA for finally turning because uh of data centers in their backyard? That was their final straw with the Mad King. Yeah, there have been a lot of people and you know, honestly, folks, I don't know what to because I'm with you, man.
I'm watching these people that are losing their minds because data centers are being built in their backyards and they're screamingly jet airplane loud and they're like, "Oh my god, you're doing this in my backyard and oh my god, my my electric bill is going through the roof because of this. I didn't want that. I didn't vote for that."
I know. I'm with you. I'm so freaking torn because I just see these people. I don't want to say fuck you.
But I know there's a small percentage of them that this is opening their eyes and there's the opportunity to maybe think, you know, you know, that's not all they lied to you about. There's other things that they've lied to you about. Yeah. I'm I'm torn on that one.
Oregon wine lady, Texas Paul, talk about uh uh drying Great Salt Lake and proposed data center. Yeah, Utah is actually one of the places where you're seeing, this is what I'm talking about.
You got people that are typically solid Republican voters are in full freakout mode because Utah is it's a desert, man. It's a desert and they know it. They have very limited water resources and they know it. And then you've got this masses, massive data center from the Shark Tank guy going in there. That's just and people are like, "No, no, no. This is hitting home." Which is why I say I'm really torn because I'm like, "Fuck those people for the way they voted. We told you so. We told you so."
But then another part of me is like, "Okay, there's an opportunity. If we can peel 10 10% of these people off, we can change the political landscape.
ET messaging people affordability is instead of culture wars, citizens united instead of APE. Are you ready to get involved? When we do the work, it gets done. Amen, brother. Amen. Thank you for the constant positive messaging. Carl Rossi, keep our fists high. Stay united.

We didn't get near the seasonal hiring that we normally do. Folks, McDonald's is screaming their revenues are down.
Disney's discounting park passes. I mean, it's just there's red flags freaking everywhere. And Wall Street's are like, "Woo, boy. Trump said we got a PEACE DEAL." YEAH. WOO. You know, it's insane. It's insane.
ET thing was Biden was consistently positive, had consistently positive job numbers. Yeah. It's almost like Democrats know what the fuck they're doing. Quantrax warning ice is coming for anyone who ain't white and everyone knows I'm right. Give us liberty or give us death. Sign the great forseer. Um yeah, the ICE thing hasn't gone away just because we're not talking about it anymore. They're still doing it. They're still arresting people that are not the people you wanted. You know, these are not, you know, cartel dangerous violent criminals and shit like that. That's not who they're arresting. Monica Meadows, whenever we have a K-shaped economy, you will have stagflation. Yep.
Yep. Under construction. I'm turning 70 in a couple months. I think that makes me older than you. Well, by a little bit. Yep.
Tube Kurt. The entire Trump administration is a weapon deployed against the US by foreign advers adversaries. Of course, they created a crisis.
Oh, man. And I'm telling you, these Republicans, I don't know how anybody can vote for them. I I I don't get it. Are you that stupid?
ET, it is less than 22 weeks until the general election. Verify your voter registration and deadline dates. Know your early voting dates. Get involved.
Thank you for the consistent messaging, brother. Thank you. We're an Idaho liberal. For for foreign dictators, he'll be dogwalked. But for everyone else, tickle his little pickle for a nickel. God, dude, you crack you crack me up, man. Oh my god. Oh, ET. So, what does uh BB have on the Mad King, man? I don't even know. It's that I don't Trump is a bitch, man. He is just weak.
just it I really think he thought, you know, this was going to be his savior over Epstein and and the tariff disaster with the economy. I really think he thought it was just going to be, oh, let's go bomb Iran and they won't do anything and everybody else seeing the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting, and you know, all that war shit that these fucking morons like.
Holly Hail, we are not the same.
Fivemonth membership. So glad you are here. So glad you're here. Jin up the base. I don't ask this to be an a-hole.
Uh oh. But what are we supposed to do with our righteous anger when Chuck Schumer is all in on military integration with Israel? Um, do you know that? Do you know that to be true?
Do you know that to be true? I don't. I don't. The official Democratic position hasn't been out laid out there because they're not fighting about that in the press yet. That's coming up. Watch and see what happens.
Omnicious Sphinx, what up, Paul? Have you watched as farmers lose livestock to the sound of the data centers, the livestock can't function as normal? Man, they are a problem everywhere they put them in.
I was I I will tell you, I was shocked.

DK Walk. search for Aaron Brachovich and click uh click on the link to fill out a form uh if you want to let her know about data plants in your area. That is true. That is happening folks. That is happening. Erin Brochovich has is in the house. She is she is she has gone to war with data centers and they are collecting information right. She knows how it works. Data wins cases and they are collecting data right now. Look at the one in Abalene, Texas. They have one turbine with 49 more coming. Yep.
Mysterious machine 420 member for two months. Glad you're here, sir. Russian agent DK, you get the last word, my friend.
You get the last word. Thank you for letting everybody know about Aaron Brochovich. Thank you for sticking it out, folks. I know it was a two-hour show. That's a long time to sit together uh and talk, but I I hope you found what I've done useful. I really do. Folks, I hope you've taken from these results that Yeah, we're in good shape. We are.
The momentum's at our back. We have good candidates.
We've got to make a lot of We've got to make a lot of noise. We do. If you're not following me on social media, I'm on Blue Sky, I'm on Threads, uh I I uh am on Substack, I'm on Facebook, uh of course here on YouTube, Instagram. Um we just broke 600,000 on threads. And I have to tell you, my numbers on social media are not like other people's numbers on social media.
I do what's called troll pat. One of the first things that you learn that people will give you advice when folks like that do what I do that use social media and the way I use it uh when they get together and talk. The first thing they will tell you is stay away from the block button because what drives you in the algorithm is engagements more than anything.
People leaving comments, people interacting with your post is huge in these algorithms.
I block like a freaking mad man. I do what's called troll patrol. When I put a video out, the reason your comment section is pleasing and enjoyable is because one, I go read your comments and two, I send out the airlock. You know, if somebody has a different opinion, that's one thing I don't do. But when the when the piece of shit Republican worthless trolls that have nothing to contribute show up, I block them. I do.
I block them. I do. People that don't contribute, that say shitty things get blocked. They do. So yeah, when I say we've got 600,000 strong on threads, that's you.
Those are real numbers. Those aren't the bullshit that you see on so many other platforms where they have tens of thousands of people that are following them that are MAGA pieces of shit or people that don't contribute that just say stupid shit. Those people are gone.
They're they're not there. So yeah, check me out. If you go to realt texaspaul.com, all of my social media links are there. That's a good way to verify, too. If you see somebody selling crypto using my face and AI, this a good way to know that that's not my account.
Anyways, folks, I appreciate it. Thanks for spending time together with me. Enjoy some Texas Cities at night.
