I'll all of you at a great weekend. I'm going to tell you a little bit about mine momentarily. But before we do want to get into some of the biggest items of the day, we'll go to Siuta. We'll talk about Todd Blanche, maybe. perhaps getting confirmed as Attorney General also mentioned the Iran War. I guess I'll start with the Iran War updates, which are almost nothing. It is one of those weekends where nearly nothing happened and still you woke up to a bunch of Iran War headlines, which didn't really report anything. I learned that Trump says that there will be talks today. and also Iranian media is acting very confused, that the idea that there would be talks today about peace with Iran, which kind of leads us to where we thought we were, which is that this could just be the new normal, that we have a certain level of war, and that's just how things are going to go. And we're going to have to start making the case to the American public that this is the best scenario of the available scenarios, because it doesn't seem like this is going to be wrapping up anytime soon, and a lot of time dwelling on it is time not dwelling on really what is our secret sauce to winning elections. which is that we are the conservative movement, the Republican Party, the party of the working class and the party of the workers. And we care about Americans, which is why we want to have police and schools and ICE and borders and the sort of thing where we want people to be having fundamental American people. rights and values, as opposed to just focusing on foreigners who are flooding into our country or focusing on foreign wars. So that's the plan. And let's see if any attacks take place. But one thing that's noteworthy is that Trump said he's ready to do World War II level attacks on Iran. So he's threatened, even though we're about to have a peace talk, we also could have the biggest bombing campaign since World War II at any moment. And if we do, I will keep you posted here on The Marlowe Show, as always at brightboard.com. My colleagues at Salem as well, I'm sure have that, share that commitment. All right. Next thing, Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General has moved along because as of early this morning, Senator is John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis. He's no longer Tom. We're not doing this Tom hoax. His name is Thome. He's been lying to you. and he's a pretty dopey guy. Both of these guys are on the way out. They'll not be senators come next year. And they're apparently said that they're willing to support Todd Blanche's confirmation. This is one where I will believe it were when I see it. But so long as Todd Blanche gets in the way of the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund that is tied to this Trump IRS settlement.

3:29

This is the fund that would go to people presumably who were unable to pay for having to face charges and legal fees for things like J6 and things that were obviously partial government hoaxes designed to gin up political momentum against Trump and his comeback by attacking using lawfare the people who supported Trump. This is not something that I loved. I mentioned this on the show at the time. I don't love the weaponization fund. I don't love the idea that, for example, I'm a pretty solid Trump supporter. I don't want anything to do with January the 6th. I knew some of that stuff was going to go down and I didn't want anything to do with it at all. So why taxpayer dollars should be going to fund people who didn't know better and still showed up. I don't know. And I know there's some of you in the audience who were there and showed up and probably got wrapped into the dragnet. You are victims. You deserve something. You deserve justice. But I just don't know of a government fund nearly $2 billion. is the correct approach. And so that's where John Cornyn and Thom Tillis were getting in the interfering with Todd Blanche. And you can imagine Trump was saying to Todd Blanche, you're not getting my support unless you're for the fund. And apparently we may have broken through that impasse, but we will see. So the Senate judiciary is expected to vote on advancing the nomination of Todd Blanche that's coming up. And that's going to resolve the immediate blockade. And then a full Senate confirmation is going to require a floor vote. So there's definitely obstacles that have been cleared, but with more. to come. I think Todd Blanche has done an exemplary job since he's been acting. So I think that that would be a great promotion for him. I think it bodes very well. I think Todd Blanche understands the law fair apparatus. But this is one where we're just going to have to come up with private ways to fund justice for some of these people. And I do think that they can individually pursue if they feel like they were targeted with law fair, that is illegal. So for the most part, but just having a specific fund from the government to pay that stuff out. I don't know. I think it was great optics. So if that's the sticking point, we should be able to surmount. it, and I think we have. All right. Next thing I mentioned my weekend, and I was going to say that the thing for me that came up was a lot of Anthony Fauci talk, but nothing was more compelling than Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dana Bash. Can we play cut 12 guys? And one of the mistakes we made in the last time was suppressing those rights so people weren't being heard. Doctors who heard saying you're doing it wrong. We're being marginalized and vilified. Yeah. Because, again, I really want to move on. But you were saying, you were part of the problem. No, I wasn't part of the problem. Yeah, there was absolute press malpractice. You weren't allowing your job. Mr. Secretary, your job. Your job is a fierce skepticism toward authority. And you weren't doing that. You were beating up on people who are dissenting. No. Okay. Are you going to, you want to sit here and attack me? Or do you want to have conversations about public health? I'm not attacking you. I'm asking questions about how to prevent the next. And let me ask the question. And I'll tell you. That's what I'm trying to do. So this is the beginning of what was an unbelievable exchange where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who, I tell you, I got to sit down with him right here in the Glendale Studios for a half an hour. It's up my podcast feed a couple of months ago.

6:45

And he's, I think, an incredible American who's an unbelievable life story in a lot of ways. But he's not the type of person who's going to go out and do every interview because I think that some of the health-related issues that he's got. And he wanted to go in the Lionsden and he wanted to pick this woman apart because what CNN did is CNN prevented people from questioning the science, which, as I've noted, over and over again on the show. The scientific method is all about questioning hypotheses. There's no settled science. And these guys took Anthony Fauci's word when he was lying directly to them, lying straight to their face. And they took his word as gospel as if he understood this brand new novel virus. It was a novel virus of coronavirus. So the reason I tie this in the weekend is that when I was going around talking with family members, talking to people in the community, everyone wants my take on Anthony Fauci. And some of my family members were saying, well, wasn't pretty intense when Bernie Moreno was swearing at him from the Senate floor. And I gave it some thought because you guys know that's not how I like to express myself. I don't like to swear people unnecessarily. It's a tool that you should be able to have. But that's not really, I'm not a yeller. I was thinking about it and thinking about all of the learning disabilities that he caused, all the people who lost their jobs. It goes on to this day. I was just talking to a friend of mine who was just in New York City, and he said that there's so many shops are boarded up. And the reason why shops are boarded up is because now the work week, the in-city work week is now Tuesday to Thursday. People don't come in on Mondays and Fridays anymore. That's residual from the pandemic. And a lot of these businesses were built on. foot traffic people coming into work and they would go to work they would have tonnet in business from Monday to Friday now it's three days a week where they're making money and they can't afford that so they're boarding up the shops and everyone else knows they'd be in the same boat so they're not buying up those shops So that's all these downstream effects of Anthony Fauci's lockdown policies. And if he ever wants to lie again and say that he didn't support the lockdown, we've now got the email proof that he talked New York City and California into locking down. California in the place where Gavin Newsom got a paddleboarder arrested off the coast of Malibu by himself to paddleboard. Some of these things are such a crackup. People reminding me of when John Rom, the golfer, was pulled off the golf course in the middle of a PGA tour event. When he was winning by six, he's winning a PGA tour event by six, and they pull him off the golf course, where he hits a tiny ball around a field that's miles and miles long. He hits at 300 yards. No one needs to be within 40 feet of him at any moment. And he got pulled off a golf course winning by six because he had tested positive for COVID. He was so sick that he should have been winning by 10, but he was only winning by six at the time because of all those horrible COVID symptoms. I shouldn't even be smiling about this. Anthony Fauci caused so many deaths, he allowed for Andrew Cuomo to send all of those sick COVID patients back to the nursing homes. And then CNN must act like they weren't part of the problem. We come back. I'll play even more.

9:52

Explosive part of that clip. And I'll share with you that some Democrats are willing to learn and others won't. The analogy I gave last week was some of them, their trust in Anthony Fauci is going to, it's going to land like a helicopter, it's going to go straight down, but others is going to taper off. And that's not okay. We need to have a full circle change of heart on this guy immediately. All right. I'm going to share with you something that is good for your health, something that I was doing. I did it this weekend. Red light therapy, my good friend, Tom Kerber, Sunpower LED, send me the handheld Super Palm 1050. Helps me with the pain of my knee and in my back. Makes me feel better. And I like that I can use at home. It's cutting edge technology. They also have a transcranial PBM helmet, photobiomodulation. That's the science. Helves with brain issues. Helps with inflammation. Great news if you've cognitive issues because no drugs, you don't have to go to hospitals, you don't get hooked on pills. It's pure maha. Science is called photobiomodulation, red light therapy, deep light penetration, cellular energy that's transferred in that treats your pain for arthritis, back pain, joint pain, muscles, gout, recovery. I use it for athletic recovery. It eliminates hotspots with their patent-pended cooling system, which is really state-of-the-art. They claim it's five to nine times and more effective than their competitors. I don't even know who's competing with this stuff. It's good stuff. Sunpower LED.com. Code Marlowe gets you 10% off.

For nearly 3,000 years, Homer's The Odyssey has shaped Western imagination. It tells the story of Odysseus as he faces monsters, shipwrecks, false comforts, and impossible choices on his long journey home. As one of the foundational works of Western literature, Homer's epic is more than mythology. It explores permanent questions about courage, duty, loyalty, family, leadership, temptation, and the search for home. In one of the epic's defining moments, Odysseus rejects the offer of immortality from the goddess Calypso, choosing instead the long and difficult journey home. His decision reveals one of the central themes of the Odyssey that a life of duty, family, and home, is greater than a life devoted to comfort or glory. Achilles chose glory. Odysseus chose home. That's why Hillsdale College has released its newest free online course, the Odyssey. Taught by Professor Benedict Wayland, the course reveals why Homer's masterpiece remains one of the greatest works of Western literature.

Learn more at regent.edu. That's regent.edu. All right, I mentioned I got one more clip of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ripping into Deanna Bash from CNN. Here's the point about the media is that you don't hate the media enough. The fake news is the enemy of the people. And I don't know why no one in the media ever loses their jobs after getting everything wrong during the pandemic. That's my point. The other bash is probably one of the better people at CNN, which is not saying much. That is the world's tallest midget sort of thing. But that's what's so wild about this, is that the bar is so low. at the establishment media, then no one's expected to get anything right. Let's play this other cup, please, guys. Let's play this is 16 now. I see my job as telling the truth, and the truth is that there is study after study after study. It's one of the most studied things out there in science. And it is different. You're repeating it like a parrot. I've actually read the science. You don't want to come back here and debate the science. I'm not debating this. Of course you won't. No, because I'm not debating. All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say trust the experts. That's what you during COVID. Now we know that Anthony Fauci, who was the expert, was lying about everything, about mass, about the social distancing, about it. natural immunity about the transmission from the vaccine. about the source of COVID. He was lying and you were punishing people for not trusting the experts. And now you're rolling out the experts again to talk about something that you have no personal knowledge of. Getting to watch Mrs. Dr. Marlow go through the scientific process at a actual hospital treating actual patients every day, you see that no one is half as arrogant as Anthony Fauci or any of the media people who are telling us what to think about a novel virus that was new. That's what the point to be learned amongst the many points, but maybe the most important one, is why were we so arrogant? Why were we so declarative about something that was obviously such a mystery to people? That we didn't have the foggiest idea of what was going on. We'd never seen anything like this before. And yet people were so confident shutting people down, shutting down their businesses, the learning disabilities that children are going to have are going to go on for the rest of their lives. People are going to have PTSD, mental health issues for the rest of their lives. We're never going to stop with the way this pandemic. And more importantly, the lockdowns affected communities. And now we know that the guy who was the expert said that the vaccine should stop transmission when it wouldn't. But the most important one of them all, I think.

16:08

is the origin of the virus where Anthony Fauci believed it was that lab in January before we even knew it was a pandemic. And then he backed off of that and acted like it was probably the pangolin soup. Bill Maher was pretty clear on this. Let's play cut six guys. He was caught in actual lies. He was telling people. And the big issue to me is the origin of this, which is very important. How did it start? And he was telling people up front when it first began. It was from the wet markets. It could not. That's a conspiracy theory. If you say it, escape from the lab. And he knew better because we have him in his diary telling us what he was saying to other scientists who were saying, no, absolutely. And so we know why he didn't. say the truth to us. He didn't say the truth us because he didn't trust us with the truth. We weren't trusted with the truth. That's why such obviously absurd things became part of American life, where I would be walking my dog outside and people have a mask on their chin, and then when they would pass me with their dog, they would pull the cloth mask up over their nose for two seconds and then bring it back down. Obviously, that wasn't stopping Jack, but we still did that. And then we were told that the virus was so magical that it actually only floated above three and a half feet when we're sitting down to eat in a restaurant. That the virus, when you get up to use the bathroom, then it can infect you. So you have to pull your cloth mask up. But when you sit down to eat your plate of ribs or spaghetti, then you can take your mask off and you can just sit there. And Gavin Newsom said that you should be pulling up your mask between bites, even though he was at a special dinner at the French laundry, most expensive restaurant in the country, when he locked down a bunch of your children. And did he lose his job? No. In fact, he's going to get votes for president. That's what's so frustrating to people. And this is something that Republicans, conservatives, Trump supporters need to hear. is that if no one has actually held to account here, if there aren't some sort of consequences, then a lot of people are going to continue to lose trust and we're going to lose trust because we saw all the harm that was done. So many people lost family members. So many people of family members are forced to die alone. The points can be made over and over again, but we did turn over the pandemic response to a bunch of hacks who are lying to us for political purposes. Dr. Brooks admitted it. We played that, I think it was Friday show. Her saying the blue states locked down extra in order to prove a political point because they wanted to make sure Trump didn't win. Anthony Fauci talked about how in his diaries he wasn't sure he wanted the vaccine to get out there because Trump would get credit. And that means Trump could win. And there was a breath of fresh air when Biden got in and Biden's team got in. So all this is so horrible. The lack of public trust now, this is going to be, it's not even to be fixable. These are scars on our country. And Anthony Fauci's the face of it. And that's why people want him held to account. When we come back, I'm going to play the most unbelievable Zohran Mamdani clip I think I've ever played. That's going to be first stop. We return on the Alex Marlowe show.

19:28

All right. I promised you a Zohran Mamdani clip is going to blow your mind. And I've got a Zohran Mamdani clip that's going to blow your mind. Let's play cut 10 please, guys. How are you going to keep people from taking advantage of that deal, basically, and is there going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level from that essential basket? So our RFP makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling. I'm going to pass it over to our EDC head GPAC to add some additional details. Yes, if you look at our RFP for the operator, we are looking to make sure that we target New Yorkers, whether it be a sort of a library card exit, and also we manage who's buying and that is focused on everyday New Yorkers. A library card. It's starting to sound a little bit like an ID. You need an ID to use Zohran Mamdani's communist grocery store. And they're already afraid that people are going to buy the groceries at 30% off and flip them. Isn't that unbelievable? Isn't that blatantly racist also? Weren't we told that if you demand people to show you a photo ID, then you are a racist person because the blacks are incapable of getting IDs? Isn't that what the Democrats have been telling us forever? So isn't he discriminating against black New Yorkers in this? There's another point here about immigration, which is that he isn't want any of you non-New Yorkers, maybe even if you work in New York. If you're not a New Yorker, even though you've got to work in New York, maybe you want to live in New York, but you can't afford it because it's too expensive and you live outside New York. If you come in and you want to use Zohran Mamdani's communist grocery stores, then you better be prepared to have an ID or else you can't participate. And I say there's an immigration connection because isn't that the whole point of why a lot of working class people, even people aren't necessarily Republicans, started to lean towards President Trump because he was someone who represented the concept that you can't have socialism and an open border. So Zohran Mamdani realizes that in the context of his grocery store, that you can't have a communist grocery store that succeeds if people are free to just come into New York and will buy the groceries at 30% off, let up their carts, clear out the shelves, and then go back to a place outside of New York. That's the whole point. You can't have a massive welfare state and open borders. And we're going to watch Zohran Mamdani experiment with this in real time. Such a blast. It's such a blast to see this because the stings fall apart almost instantly. And that's when the left tries these big programs. They can barely even get them off the ground. If he requires one ID, it is going to dog Democrats forever. And we're going to get voter IDs to vote. I mean, we're going to get IDs for people to go to polls. We're going to get proof of citizenship to go the polls. If he's going to enforce IDs to get communist groceries, we're definitely getting IDs to vote.

22:31

So it's good stuff. And that was a fantastic question. Whoever asked that, that was really teed him up in a nice way. All right, I got more Zohran Mamdani. Let's put one, please, guys. Your education is more than a path to a degree. At Regent University, it's an important step in God's plan for your career. It's where you'll be equipped to lead and serve with purpose.

If a commission studying reparations in this city recommended cash reparations for people impacted in New York City, would you support that recommendation? First, I want to say that I stand by what I submitted. It's the truth. It's not a personal assessment. And we often think about slavery and... the complicity in slavery as being exclusively to certain geographic areas of the country here in new york city we were very complicit and so i look forward to whatever those findings are i can't give you an answer in advance of them but i can tell you that this is critically important because this is also what it looks like to acknowledge what history truly was he wants people who never owned slaves to pay for people who never were slaves And he's breaking this news to the great Charles Blow, a Dennis Prager's show favorite. I always love when I see some of Dennis's characters pop up on my show, which is fun. Sean's nodding along with this. Because Dennis had his characters. The New York Times editorial page was Dennis's characters. The same way I bring up these characters via the clips on the show, he had his characters I look forward to whenever he bring up a Krugman column, I knew there's going to be a big dunk fest. So Charles Blow, the most, maybe the most insane person. Is he still there at New York Times? I've not read a Blow column in a while. All right. But anyway, this is just wild that this is the plan now, is that he's going to pander to blacks in one way, but he's going to discriminate them by demanding they get IDs. What is the root? I'm aware of the route. Anyway, this is very fascinating because our friend Shabbas Kestenbaum from Prager U. He pointed out every Muslim in New York starting with Mbondani should pay us for 9-11. Really interesting. I don't think that's going to work, but it's an interesting thought experiment. So non-slaver... He's not in the New York Times. So non-slaver... people are going to have to pay for people who never were slaves. But people who are Muslim also want to have to pay for people who are affected by radical Islamic terrorism in New York. So I'm not saying we should do either, but if we're going to do one, which one makes more sense? Fun thought experiment. Zohran Mamdani is tying a lot of people up in a pretzel. And this has really been the theme, I would say, since I got the show, how the Democrats, their core values, they don't comport with one another.

25:38

Scott Galloway, who is a New York University professor and a podcaster who emotes a lot on his podcast, is very left and is very excited about some of these socialists. But then he learned that he was actually doxed by Zohran Mamdani because Zohran Mamdani do this piettaire tax where he's taxing rich people in their second homes extra. And so he's doing this and he printed all these names and addresses of people. that are going to get the tax. And Galloway's freaking out. Let's play cut 17. And I've been doxed. You've been doxed. What? Tell me. So, I don't know if you've heard, but Zohran Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with addresses and names that might be eligible. for his pieter tax. I came out in favor of this tax. This is the definition. He's taken a legitimate source of tax revenue and he's turning it into a wanted poster. And the question I would have is, other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong, and then 18 months after a health care CEO was executed in the street and then publish the list, what is the upside here? So, The content is great. The issue is why didn't he see this before? Why didn't he know this is what he was voting for and supporting when he's supporting Zohran Mamdani? Because that's the type of people. The Luigi Mangione wing of the Democrat Party supports Zohran Mamdani. The type of people who think it's okay to execute, I'm not saying Zohran Mamdani supports it, but I'm saying the type of people who think it's okay to execute a man simply for being in charge of a health care company. Ironically, by the way, I'd like to point this out with the Luigi's legal team is saying that he's innocent and may be insane. So they don't even buy the argument that he did this out of some sort of vigilante justice standing up for the people who couldn't get health care. They're saying he's actually a lunatic and that's why he shot him and that's why he shouldn't go to jail or get executed or whatever. So just noteworthy when you're watching a lot of these people in real time. realize what they've done, what they're doing with this experiment in New York. And I voted from, I didn't vote for him, but I endorsed Zohran Mamdani specifically because I wanted to see this stuff happen. I want to see the accelerationism and we're getting it. We're getting it even quicker than I thought we would. And we're going to continue to get it in certain parts of the country as well because the socialists are still on the march and they are sounding more insane and is not alienating people.

We've got a big primary tomorrow in Michigan. Abdul El-Sayed seems to be way ahead of Haley Stevens. Even though he's another socialist who made 700K last year and has real estate throughout the world is another guy who hangs out with Hasan Piker who thinks that the United States deserve 9-11. He's so brazen. It's unbelievable. Let's play cut 14. This is the brazenness. Now, Reverend Jay, I couldn't help but think that as the one Muslim man who walked in this morning, you were preaching right to me. He said, don't be a victim of the valley. And sisters and brothers, I feel like I've been walking in a valley. And you've probably been seeing it on TV. And if you have him, praise God, that you haven't had to see it. But look, I know I'm not supposed to run for office. My name is Abdul El-Sayed. I knew that the day I was born and they gave me an 11 letter first name. Abdul's just half of it. The whole thing is Abdulrahman. It's got sounds that come out of parts of people's throats. They don't even know they have. But when my parents immigrated here from Egypt, northeast corner of Africa, they thought they were going to go back. He is pandering because his parents are from Egypt. He came here. He got tons of money. And he has a way to connect with people. People are loving it. I'm talking to be on the ground in Michigan. They love the way this guy talks, even though he does talk out of both sides of his mouth. And what's noteworthy is that Haley Stevens, his opponent, who've endorsed by the entire Democrat establishment, she's a fraud as well. It's the, I want to play a cut of her talking. Greg cut this for me. This is her in 2019. This is her talking, Haley Stevens, the establishment's choice in the primary tomorrow, Michigan. Cut eight. Your education is more than a path to a degree. At Regent University, it's an important step in God's plan for your career. It's where you'll be equipped to lead and serve with purpose.

Government is a trust, and those who are elected into federal office are the trustees of that government, and they are there to serve for the benefit of the people. And that's really what hangs over me. I rise today to call on my colleagues and the president to reopen the government. Too many lives are being impacted. Too much is at stake. I cannot sit idly by and watch the impasse that continues to plague our country. Okay, so that's a normal person. That's our normal person talks. That was seven years ago. Let's play Haley Stevens talking today, cut nine. I am going to be working on our behalf. I am going to be telling the stories on our behalf. And you better believe I'm going to be doing it with a little bit of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, and a little bit of stick it to them. Because that's the Michigan way.

And she sounds like she's a bad YouTube show for kids that I would ban my kids from watching. So why did she change? Because this is the pandering that goes on. Because she cannot communicate with normal working class people. And Abdul El-Sayed, who is simultaneously a socialist, is a Muslim, is for open borders, for abolishing the police, all the sort of slew of DSA talking points that don't connect, don't add up. he can still at least speak to a group and not seem this incredibly cringe-inducing. And that's what we got to watch out for, because that's a powerful thing for people who feel like the establishment is not looking out for them. And when Abdul El-Sayed is on the stump, it's relentlessly we're taking money out of politics, we're doing Medicare for all, he's got the talking points internalized, and he knocks them down over and over again every time, stays on message. And I got to tell you, mark my words, if he wins the general, and I'm not saying he will, he's going to be behind in the general. I'm assuming he's going to win the primary tomorrow. But if he wins the general, I think he's going to remember president. I don't know when, but he's got that eye, the tiger type look, and he clearly is a fearless guy. So we can't underestimate our opponents unless they're Haley Stevens. Then I'm perfectly comfortable underestimating Haley Stevens. And anyone who feels like you've got to say we're going to stick it to them to win a primary in any part of the country is not someone who's got what I would refer to as the eye of the tiger. It's just not going to happen for that individual. All right. We're going to take a break. When we come back, I've got to talk about Markwayne Mullin here talking about immigration reform. And then I've got some WMBA for you. We're right back.

Our big shout out to the team. Greg Evans, Sean Mitch McConnell, Roger Wicker., Rick Locke, Gerich Shally, Matt Zibble, Ricky Lopez, Misty Callahan, John Cassio, and Daniel West. All do a nice job. He was on vacation, but he still gets a shout out. Okay, let's go to Siuta. Ciuta is how it's pronounced quickly. Give you some news updates there. People still attempting to cross the border from Morocco. Spain is suggesting that everyone is going home, but there's not really a lot of evidence of that. There's, in fact, plenty of evidence of Moroccans as well as other people from sub-Saharan Africa who figured out this loophole where if you enter Spain in their African portion of the country via the water, they can't really do anything about it. So a lot of people are camping in the woods because they don't want to go home and they want to get processed, but there's a big line to get process. processed, so they're just going to hang out and camp is a big headache. So this has really been going on for a long time, but people are now finally starting to push back. Spain is minimizing and blaming as is you would expect. And, but they also don't really want to annoy Morocco too much because Morocco could send a lot more people. Morocco does this. Turkey does the same thing as well, saying that basically we're holding back millions of people who want to be economic refugees. And where do they want to go to? They want to go to places with big welfare states. Big message to you, Zohran Mamdani, with your IDs at your communist grocery store. They want to send people to places where they're big welfare states because people who are in poor countries with worse economies want that free, sweet, commie cash. So Morocco's been holding people back and people are hanging out in the woods, a lot of refugees waiting to come in. And you can't offer a major welfare state and have open borders. That's a cautionary tale for the socialist in America as well. So a lot of people in the queue, we say the queue. And the Moroccan president cozing up to Trump, by the way, Trump is now coming on the side of Morocco. There's nothing that great about Morocco where we need to have. I think we're loosely pro-Morocco here, I guess. But we don't stand for Morocco. I'll tell you that. But Moroccan King seizing on this, he announced this morning that he's going to name a major highway in honor of Trump. So he wants to make sure Trump lashes out at the socialist in Spain and not at Morocco for this. So good stuff. Just great, great political instincts from the president of Morocco there as well. So more to come, bribert.com, 247 on all of that. And he just find that fascinating. All right. A little more on the Democrat. I guess the last one is Troy Jackson and Maine. Did you guys catch that he's the new Graham Platner, even though he endorsed Graham Platner? So it's a strike one, two, and three for me on that. But if you want to strike four, his longtime partner, I don't think they're married, is his second cousin. I mean, and they have children together. Guys, it's too close. It's too close. There's too many people out there. You don't need to do it with the second cousin. You don't. There's a lot of other people. Billions and billions of people on this planet.

Do they have any normal Democrats in Maine? I've got to go up there. I've never been. I'm curious about it. I've read a million Stephen King books. So I just, I don't understand it. Second cousin. And now he endorses platinum and he's running in Maine. Mainers, is this acceptable to you? Or do you think you should have found a different girlfriend? All right. Markwayne Mullin said something scary. Department of Homeland Security Secretary. This is a couple days ago. Cut 15. Do you really need immigration reform? Yes, you do. But can we work with this system we have? Yes. We have naturalization ceremonies every single day in the United States that is, you know, federal government is open. We have hundreds of thousands of people. In fact, over, we're real close to 900,000 individuals that have been naturalized in the last 12 months. There's a legal system to go through. So he elaborates and he's talking about having a big immigration reform. We're not doing that. We're not doing any of that right now. We're closing the border and we're doing deportations. And he's the deportation guy. He's Department Homeland Security. And he's always flirted with this stuff. Though I've always liked Mullen. He's been on the show and I like him. But he's got to get the memo on this thing. This is our number one comparative advantage versus vis-à-vis the Democrats. We want to protect working Americans from a foreign invasion. too much legal and illegal, legal and illegal immigration, which competes with them for jobs and housing. The way Americans are going to solve the cost of living crisis is not legalizing more people, is not bringing in more people. It's protecting the Americans who are here. And that should be 100% of the focus, 100% of the conversation. And I'll tell you, I believe this on a personal level. I believe unchecked immigration is ruining my state of California. And I believe it has been for decades. But I will tell you that this is also politically incredibly stupid to talk about any sort of immigration reform naturalization. We're not talking like that anymore. We're talking about deportations. And we're talking about protecting the American workers, their wages, their housing. If we get that, then we're going to win a lot of elections, maybe every election. And if we don't get that, then we're going to start seeding ground back to the socialists who are trying to talk to those people. That's today's show. I had a bunch of WMBA stuff I didn't get to, but we can save it. We got more shows this week. That's it for today. Go and peace to love and serve the Lord. Thanks for listening and watching.
