We got used to for a while, I think, the shrieking like banshee of the Democrats when it came to our sacred institution. You hear them say, our sacred institutions. Trump is destroying our sacred institutions. You have to sit there and wonder, don't they have something else to do? I wouldn't just cry about nonsense. But no, no, no. That would give them too much credit. One of our institutions, though, is once again come under attack because, well, Democrats, when they're out of power, find that the system itself is unfair. meaning the process by which we determine who is given power in the name of the American people, the American voter, to do things and to faithfully execute, defend and execute the roles and powers of the Constitution. For them, it's just a question of, are they in charge? Good, if not bad. There's really no thought process much deeper than that. And that brings me to...

Kamala Harris going on the Don Le Mans podcast. And let me just be clear, Don Le Mans is pretty much the, I don't know, he could be a chief strategist of the Democrat comeback because who else have they got? And if Kamala Harris is in fact going to not just run, which yes, she's probably going to run, but be the nominee, which to me is still just, wow, but. There are crazier things that have been said. Who knows who else could be in the mix? There will be a whole comeback effort for the Democrats top to bottom. And so she was on, she was on the Don Le Mans podcast. And as I said, discussing, you have to say, she's probably from a brand value perspective, the top Democrat in the game right now. I know I say Gavin Newsom, but. For all of his slickness, for all of his shirts just buttoned all the way down to his belly button, grinning at all the wives in the audience. Yeah. For all of that, I still think Kamala Harris has been vice president, and Gavin Newsom has not. And so she is the closest thing they have right now to a leader in the Democrat Party. Right? Who else? In this moment, would you say, is ahead of her. A couple of names would get some attention. I think everybody realizes Bernie Sanders is nearing retirement somehow. And the other voices that the Democrats have are more on the legislative side. Not really. Cory Booker has started to make some noise again. He's probably gearing up to run another of the most unmemorable and unimaginative, doomed to failure presidential runs of all time. It's really the Cory Booker specialty. But commonly here on our sacred institutions, which they tell us are so important, including, of course, the Electoral College. Because that's the election that we, or that's the race that we have. It's a, it's about the electoral college. Kamala Harris's like, you know, this is cut 12. Maybe we should just get rid of that thing. What about the Electoral College? I think we need to look at that too. I think we need to look at that too. Yes. Yes, I do. I think that there is some real shaking up that we have to do of the rules and the structure. Is that get rid of the Electoral College? I think that should be a discussion that we should have. I don't think we should eliminate that as a point of discussion for potential action. Now. Kamala Harris saying that's a discussion we should have. That is her effort to both make the radical lunatic base of the Democrat Party happy that it's a maybe. You know, oh, we're getting a maybe from her.

while also not committing to anything because she knows down the line she could be held to account for what she says like she was in the 2024 election when they were playing clips of her saying we need to provide taxpayer-funded transgender surgery for illegal aliens in prison she really stuck the landing on that one for the left taxpayer funding of course Transgender, got to. Illegals. Oh, yeah. And in prison. In fact, if you were coming up with the perfect base voter for the Democrats, could you find a constituency more reliably Democrat in their voting, assuming they have voting rights, depending on the prison situation may or may not be the case, then somebody who is illegal and trans and in prison? I mean, that's like the ultimate Democrat voter these days. Just throw in an irrational fear of climate change maybe and a couple other things. You'll really be ready to go. So she says we need to look at eliminating the electoral college. Why do they hate the electoral college? Well, there's a couple of things. First of all, you'll have a, I believe Clay would know this better than me. Jamil Hill is a sportscaster, right? Who now sometimes talks about other things. Right? So here she is, was this on CNN guys? I think it was on CNN, right? Which I'm shocked still has any viewers, really, but I guess. Here she is saying that the Electoral College is rooted in slavery. Play 13. Anybody who studied any small bit of history knows that electoral college is rooted in slavery. That was the entire reason that it was. invented, essentially. And we should have gotten from up under it a long time ago, and not just because you have two women quite capable who lose the election. So I don't have a problem with her argument. I think it's probably correct. And I think most people in this country, you want to, a big reason there's a lot of apathy is because a lot of people feel like their vote doesn't matter. And the reason they feel that way is because they look at things like, okay, let me get this straight. We can all agree and all. From a popular vote standpoint, vote for a candidate, and that candidate still lose, and the math doesn't math for them. So it's like, why are we clinging to the system? Well, plays, I want to hit this. Ms. Jamel, as producer Greg, who does follow the sports world, Jamel Hill, is an ignoramus, not surprising, knows nothing, doesn't know history. But she's repeating the talking point. So let's address the talk. She's saying it on CNN, a news, at least allegedly, a news program of sorts. Let's address this for a second. She's just wrong on the history. She's wrong on the history. And on the one hand, it's why I take the time to even deal with this. On the other hand, well, Hillary Clinton. Somebody who you would think, well, she's supposed to be really smart and educated on these things. And she was Secretary of State and almost present. And ah, we'll return to that. She's in a Netflix, is it a Netflix documentary that's coming out, right? Something like that. I got to cancel my Netflix. She's in a Netflix documentary. Here she is labeling the Electoral College and Abomination. Play 14. Well, I personally think the Electoral College is an abomination for obvious reasons.

Man, that cackle. How could we not have voted for that cackle? You get the cackle, you get the cancels, you get the whole package. So she's saying there it's an electoral college, it's an abomination. Jamel Hill says it is rooted in slavery. They're wrong, and we can get into this, why they're wrong, but this requires. requires to sit there and say okay so the electoral college was a compromise electors chosen by states and and then it it gave states a role so then you have popular input but that was filtered and mirrored the bicameral congress compromise you go there all this different stuff but they don't care they don't care this is the problem with writing you know the history i know the history they don't care They always also, they don't even understand the three-fifths compromise, which is what they're really trying to get at here, but the three-fifths compromise was so that the southern slave states would have less power. But they don't even, and it was never three-fits. The way that they put to history, again, my frustration with it is that they don't care. So it's almost a waste of time because I can sit here and go through it all, but they're still going to say this. Why do they say this? because they are gearing up to tell their base once again that Republican victories are illegitimate. Whatever the numbers are on the screen, whatever the votes tallied are, even with all the Democrat shenanigans, it is inherently to the Democrat Party illegitimate when Republicans win. And you might say, well, what about Trump in 2020? Some of you would say that. Some of them would certainly say that. And I'd say, well, who really started this thing? It really began in 2000, at least in my lifetime, with Democrats who did by every count then and after lose the 2000 election. And they said it was illegitimate. And then Hillary Clinton lost an election of Donald Trump. And they said it was illegitimate. And a big part of this is not only their claims that, you know, Republicans did something with the counting of the votes as they did in Florida, but that the very system itself is bad. Notice, though, the system that put Barack Obama, the electoral college that gave Barack Obama two terms in office, I might add, without Republicans in either election questioning the result. And neither election in any meaningful way were Republicans like, you know what, that guy didn't win. No, he won. John McCain got smoked. Mitt Romney got smoked. That's what happened. And that system, though, was great then. Trump wins. Hillary herself will say, and now Kamala Harris will say the electoral college is illegitimate. Kamala Harris will say it's illegitimate, knowing that she lost the popular vote too. Because it's not about what is true. It's not about our history. It's not about the electoral college or the three-fits compromise or anything else. It's just about telling the Democrats now, getting them worked up on this early, that if Republicans win again, it is invalid. It's illegitimate, not my president. Remember that whole thing with Trump? Not my president. That's what they were channing. Russia collusion. That giant scam, total fraud.

Trump was, you know, you go back and look at this, everything Trump said about the Russia collusion narrative. He's a total witch hunt, it's a fraud, it's scam. All true. He wasn't even, you know, Trump can be a little, what's the, maybe a little bombastic sometimes, a little bit. I think we could all agree. Everything he said about the Russia collusion and stealing the 2016 election just being an utter fraud total. He was correct. It was all true. It was all true. It was. him stating facts and being told that he and you and I were the crazy ones. But get ready for this. Because just as in the last hour I told you that the narrative is going to be class warfare, Elon Musk's rich, and that's why you're struggling to afford a house. Oh, no, that's not true. But notice how it makes people who are struggling feel better, some of them. It gives them an answer. It makes it someone else's fault. and not the government's fault itself, which when you're talking about housing prices, that's a huge part of it. And now they're also gearing up for if Republicans win, whether it's this midterm or more importantly for them in 2028, it's not valid. It's a rigged system. The system itself needs to be changed. It only needs to be changed when Democrats lose. By the way, you see this with the Supreme Court, too. In fact, I will tell you about that specifically. Another change that could be on the horizon here. And that is what we call a tease in the business.

As promised, the de facto leader of the Democrats these days, Kamala Harris, went on Don Lemon's podcast and addressed in her Kamala Harris-esque way where she says things without really saying anything. And I do believe it's very obvious that Kamala Harris has gone through really her entire adult life with people saying, oh, that's so great, Kamala Harris. knowing that what she said was dumb and worthless, but she was in the required slots, playing the required role, and that was good enough, really reached the absolute peak of what was possible in the DEI era, almost becoming president of the United States, becoming vice president of the United States largely just because of her demographic profile.

honestly playing the game yes being in the democrat system had to be in it to win it i get all of that not just anybody could could do it but really not talented in any meaningful way in what way is Kamala Harris impressive it's a real question people can say a lot of things about trump there are some factual things about trump even if one were to say i don't like uh his policies i i think he's a you know he's a bad person or whatever it is he's hilarious truly he's the funniest president we've had in my lifetime some of you may say regan i think trump's funnier than regan regan had some great one-liners but trump is funny on off the cuff all the time and trump is the funniest he's he's incredibly entertaining and engaging he can riff on any subject And can go for hours that his stamina, these are just, these are observations, right? This isn't really opinion so much as observation. His stamina, especially for guys' age, is incredible. And he's been remarkably successful in a bunch of different fields that are highly competitive. Did he have some advantage to start out in life? Sure, but so did a lot of other people. And they didn't become president for two terms. And they didn't build a massive, global, real estate, empire, and Brent, et cetera, et cetera. I bring all this up because Kamala Harris is deeply unimpressive, but she is a vessel for the hopes of the Democrat Party. And that brings me to another way she wants to change the structure of things. She on this podcast said she would like to. explore. That's how she said. We're going to look at. We're going to explore court packing. Play 11. I think that we absolutely have to explore what we need to do because of the Supreme Court. and what it has done to destroy so many of the elements of the Constitution that were designed to protect, in particular, the minority, those who are marginalized, including expansion of the Supreme Court. And yes, I absolutely believe that we should be exploring that. What does that really mean? exploring that oh it means she gets to make the base happy because like a parent telling a child maybe you know maybe can i get that toy maybe parent is actually never going to get that toy right maybe at least when i was a kid maybe meant no but she can't be held accountable for it down the line keeps the base happy can't be hammered for being a communist lunatic when she's actually running in an election down the line. That, my friends, is what is really going on here. Business owners, you and I both know this. It's not if you're going to need business insurance policies that you have. When is the question?

President Trump was just speaking in Reading, Pennsylvania. And we have some of the biggest moments of that for you. And some of it will relate to the conversation we'll have with our buddy, Steve Yates, of the podcast, Nation States with Yates. Just be the smartest person on national security of anyone you know. Listen to that podcast, and you will be good to go. Here is just moments ago, President Trump talking about where the price of oil is. Play 26. We had 19 barrels of oil, 19 million barrels of oil come off, and that's the biggest in the history of the Strait, the Harmoor Strait. Our stock market is through the roof, and oil prices are tumbling. We actually hit for a moment today. In fact, I think it's going to break it. $70 a barrel that's lower than we were when we started. And it's been amazing. And the big thing is, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, he says. Oh, I think it is definitely the case that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon on Trump's watch. That is true. What happens when he's no longer president? That then becomes a much more difficult proposition, especially if you have, say, a commander-in-chief Harris calling the shots. And now brings me also to the oil price. Trump, they're saying that it's near $70 a barrel. And this is pretty good, he's saying, relative to where things could be. And he is confident they'll continue to go in the right direction. As I have said, if oil does move in this direction and the straight keeps open. It is somewhat open now. It needs to keep opening if that does, in fact, happen. then I think there will be minimal impact on the midterm elections against the Republican Party. So that is certainly a good thing. Oh, remember how I mentioned that Trump is funny? Here you go. What other president, this has cut 27 just moments ago with the president's in Pennsylvania. This is what he said, play 27.

Not a very good group. Not doing very well. Not only do they support it. Not only do they support it. They demand it because they won't allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. You want to see trouble? Let them have a nuclear weapon. We're doing very well with Iran. They've been decimated. And we're making a deal with them. And we'll see how that all goes. Who are you with? He says. A news nation says, well, the person says News Nation. And Trump goes, not a very good group, not doing very well. I mean, wow. Trump, you don't want to get on the wrong side of this guy. I think that everyone knows that that is the case. He does not want to be. He is fierce. And here's the thing. Trump picks up on. the aggressive energy of the reporter right away. He knows the difference. He's been at this for a law, even from way before he was president. He knows when someone in the media is asking a question and when someone is attacking him in the form of a question. And he picks it up right, he can smell it. He picks it up right away and responds to aggression in kind. And I would say one of the great things actually, and I hope one of the lasting things about... President Trump for all time going forward and for the Republican Party is we will no longer have leadership, or at least we can hold leadership to account if they just sit there while the New York Times pretends to be journos and just punches them in the face, punches that leader in the face over and over and over again. You know, I wish back in the day George Bush would have hit back a lot more at the people in the media who were just constantly trying to undermine him. Isn't it remarkable? They say that they created this whole industry of George Bush, George W. Bush, not his dad really. His dad, I don't think anyone, well, some people would have said it. His dad was clearly not a dumb guy. George W. Bush was not a dumb guy. He's not dumb. And I can tell you, having sat in high-level, complex briefings with him and had to field his questions and understand his level of knowledge over the course of a 30 minutes or so, trust me, the guy is not dumb. He's smarter than Al Gore. And yet Al Gore, people would never say, oh, he was, at least Democrats would never say, oh, he's dumb. Is George W. Bush smarter than Kamala Harris? Oh, you bet. You bet he is. But this was the power of the media being on constant offense without ever having it turned around, without ever having the Trump jiu-jitsu of, you know what, you're a jerk. And I know you're being a jerk when you ask me that question. So I'm all for it. Now he also is saying that Iran is in fact boxed in. We are in a great place with this deal. This is 28. Hit it. We have Iran in a position that nobody's ever had. This should have been done for 47 years by other presidents. And we have Iran in a position where their military has been totally wiped out. Their leadership has been wiped out. Their radar has been wiped out. Everything has been wiped out.

They have not a good negotiating position. But despite that, and money that we'll be taken out of Iran is going to go to our farmers to give corn, soybeans, wheat to Iran because they have a hunger problem. They have a food problem. They have a medicine problem. They've got a lot of problems. And they have an inflation. Their inflation now just at 300%. So they have a lot of problems. So Trump, they are saying that Iran, for all the posturing and all the noise they make and all the delay tactics, that he's very aware of what they're doing. And as Trump says, in other contexts, we have all the cards and they don't. Okay. We'll talk more about that and also the nuclear program here coming up a little bit with Stevie-A. But then there's this issue, and some of you have brought this more to my attention. Talk about what's going on here. with the reflecting pool and the uh the lincoln memorial reflecting pool which it's it's pretty um pretty astonishing in some ways that this is even a story like why would this be a story it does go deep into trump's arrangement though anything that he does you know if trump says i have an idea where the White House could be better at recycling, which you all know how I feel about recycling, so don't get me started. But I have an idea that the White House will be better at recycling, and all of a sudden people on the left, and the Democrats would say, this is a monstrous constitutional overreach. How dare he think that he could advise the White House on recycling policy? It doesn't matter what it is if it's his idea they hate it. That is certainly the case with the reflecting pool. And I also, in advance of the 250th, don't we all want D.C. to look as nice as it can? Don't we want the nation's capital to reflect the, yes, of course, the history, the brilliance of our experiment and of the vision of the founders brought to reality today, 250 years later? But we want it to look nice. Trump is saying, yeah, it looks great, but... He says that there are saboteurs of the reflecting pool at large. This is 29.

They've arrested, I think, six people on the reflecting pool. So the reflecting pool looks fantastic. I just got pictures of it. It's beautiful. But somebody went in with a knife and cut it. They cut it up good. And then they cut a 200, 350-foot slip in the form of lots of little slips, a real horrible stuff. And they destroyed the grass. We put a brand new big... load of grass out there, they destroyed it. So it's all being fixed, but it's a shame. So I understand five or six people are arrested. The Interior Department can refer to you on that. And I hear that I hear they have six people under investigation. Six people under investigation. I will say this. Is it... Is it beyond my comprehension? Is it beyond my wildest imagination that some Trump hater could do something like this? No. But it is really weird. And I don't know. It would never, if I were putting myself in the shoes of a Trump hater, trying to cut the lining of the reflecting pool would not even be in like the top hundred acts of vandalism that may come to mind. You know what I'm saying? It's just, it's so strange and so bizarre. Here's what I think. I think that there are probably some people that have been disrespectful to the reflecting pool, maybe, you know, kicked at a chunk of it or something. I think it's also been a mess for a very long time, and it will take more time to get it right. And so those two things are getting wrapped in together. I don't think all of the problems that it's having right now are due to people who are, like, reflecting pool terrorists. I'm not saying some of them aren't people that have done some vandalism. There is some investigation of some individuals. I know there have been some arrests, but I also think it's really complicated. My bigger takeaway from it all is... Yeah, but can't we just want them to fix the reflecting pool? Can we just get agreement from the other side on that? Whether there's been a lot of vandalism or a little vandalism, can we just say, well, you know, it'll be great if the president of the United States could get the support of people in advance of our nation's 250th birthday, so to speak, to make D.C. as beautiful as it can be, and specifically our monuments. Because what do people really think of? When you think of D.C., you think of the White House, the Capitol, the Mall. The White House, the Capitol, the Mall. Even when you're a little kid, you know, you think of the White House, the Capitol, the Mall. So that's, I'm surprised it's as much of a story as it has been. I also think, you know, there's a part of the president, and I really mean this. I think. I think he takes a personal, truly a personal pride in being a builder. And I mean somebody who oversees the building, whether it's Walman Rink in, you know, Central Park in New York City back in the day, which he fixed that had been a disaster forever. I think that this is, he looks at this stuff like a pro, like a professional. And so he takes a personal pride in these kinds of, just like the expansion also of the East Wing with the ballroom.

He takes a personal pride in that stuff and really does just want it to be great and look great. And his critics and his haters know that. And they know that he's a guy who, you know, he'll take a lot of incoming and he can handle it all really well. But I think that it particularly irks him when someone won't admit that he's or someone won't admit that he's a great builder or someone tries to get under his skin with that kind of stuff. And that's why they keep going at this and trying to, whether it's the East Wing expansion or they're trying to just pick at the, at this sore point, if you will, with Trump because they know it is a personal thing for him. This is the guy who wanted his name on the most beautiful buildings in New York City and succeeded in many cases in doing something right along those lines. So they know that he takes it personally, and that's why I think they take a particular joy in just doing whatever they can. And maybe that even means some, like, lunatic. Would it ever occur to anyone to try to cut the lining of the national mall under what? It's just so crazy. But could someone be that crazy? I guess. I guess so. All right, as great as this July 4th is going to be, the 250th. Although some over it like MS now are going to hate it. The haters will hate it, but it's going to be amazing.

All right, producer Mike, I think I also have to call you DJ Mike, because what was that intro music? That sounds like classic rock. I have no, this whippersnapper, millennial, unlike Clay who was Gen X, so I don't know, I hear he has a lot of back pain these days. This whippersnapper, I was Motley Crew? Oh, I should have actually gotten that one. My bad. I thought you were going to tell me, like, you know.

some 70s band that I have very little knowledge of. Hair bands, thank you. I'm a little better with the hair bands. Really more grunge is the rock that I grew up with a bit. Oh, that's funny. I like Stone Temple Pilots, for example. And yes, I like the Goo Goo Dolls. I don't care. Say about me what you will. I also like pistachio ice cream. I take your slings in arrows. But I always hated Nirvana. I just don't like Nirvana. I don't know. It was all too, it was kind of like too dark and, you know, not quite as much as I hated Marilyn Manson, but I really hated Marilyn Manson, stuff when I was a kid, too. I, like, wouldn't listen to it, would turn it off. Kind of judge people who were into it, to be honest with you. Not that I should judge anybody, but you know what I mean. Let's go. We've got John in San Diego. John, you're on the air. Yeah, I have no idea why anyone has given any credence to this stupid idea of Harris's to amend the Constitution. It takes 34 states. It takes two-thirds of the Congress, two-thirds of the Senate. There are only 19 solidly blue states. This can never, ever happen. She should be ridiculed until she never pops her head out of her little groundhog all again. Okay, so John. I understand what you're saying. You're correct about the mechanics of this being unlikely to happen. But you heard what I said, right? This isn't about... actually changing anything, it's about setting up the excuse in advance of the system is BS if Republicans win. You see what I'm saying with that, right? Yeah, that's what this is. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I understand that. My point is you ridicule her until she never opens her stupid mouth again in public. John, do I do I do I, do I, I'm the chief comologist on the show. Do I do a pretty good job of ridiculing? I hope so. I'm trying, buddy. I'm keeping the adequate. Thanks, John. You know, it's all right. You got to keep me in line. John from San Diego. John from San Diego is, you know, he's got high expectations. I'm doing what I can. Kurt from Cincinnati. Let's hear from him on the talkback. This is A.

A on the talkback. Thank you for giving me the heads up. You were going to play a Kamala Harris. I was able to get to mute. Appreciate it. Thanks. Hey man, you guys said you wanted the heads up when we're going to get a Kamala Harris clip. I know some of you are driving and she might lull you into a stupor with her circuitous and nonsensical word salad. So for safety reasons, if we're going to play Kamala Harris Clips on the air, I have to give you a heads up. We have people who are driving big rings for heaven's sake.
