“the guy that's going to be most consequential when all the dust settles in this administration is Robert F. Kennedy Jr..”
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr.., just a huge amount of stuff. Got to get him back on. He announced with Linda McMahon today, and I think I wrote it down, that it's 53 or so medical schools come fall, are going to be emphasizing nutrition, 40 hours of nutrition, deep nutrition among doctors.”
“Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, will join us on the Dom Gerdano show.”
“I am standing at the podium with Speaker Johnson after the House historically passed the Save America Act.”
“Mike Johnson the other day with me was pretty good. And you heard it talking about Newt Gingrich instead of a contract on America, contrasts with America. They're crazy. We're not.”
“I think that Marco Rubio, if you were to put up two candidates, would be the better of the two, because he's so unflappable.”
“Marco Rubio yesterday was just masterful and his presidential run, taking questions right there in front of the entire media, and I think he came across really well.”
“You look at Marco Rubio and you look at JD Vance. It's Marco Rubio at this point.”
“because he's Tom Homan, because I would have put him in charge of Homeland Security, but maybe this is his real goal.”
“Tom Homan is methodically following through. Notice what he did with ice in the airports. We haven't had major incidents, and that's remarkable.”
“Thank God for Tom Homan coming in and restoring it, because the American people did vote for mass deportation.”
“Do I see any statement here from Josh Shapiro? Valerie Arcoosh. That's a woman that used to head up, Montgomery County. She put in the rat line shut down schools during COVID. Remember that? Hey, Val, this is your area, Medicaid. Do you have anything to say about this in ongoing investigations?”
“Josh Shapiro and Valerie Arcus who's in charge of Medicaid, they would never do one prosecution.”
“If any one of these women said, I refuse to help with abortion. Josh Shapiro would have SWAT teams over there.”
“Not only did Zohran Mamdani name names that they're going to tax, but he puts up the physical address.”

“these Democrat voters, they want to hate. They want to go after Benjamin Netanyahu. They want to go after Israel. They want to go after Jews all over the place.”
“I believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu belongs in the Hague. He's a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court.”
“We're not talking about a personal assessment of Benjamin Netanyahu. We're talking about the international criminal court and the fact that they have a warrant out for this prime minister's arrest.”
“Because, you know, if they would take the Senate, you don't think Josh is going to let Gavin Newsom get over on him at all, do you? Because I don't. He'll be awful. It would be awful.”
“Gavin Newsom, when this was passed in 2024, saying, yeah, we don't want teachers to be snitches and the gender police.”
“If we weren't there to stop it, he would sign it. Because we've heard him say, well, they got to work it out and I'll sign it. He would sign it. He'd become Gavin Newsom.”
“or Bernie Sanders, another self-hating Jew, becoming a chairman”
“Bernie Sanders is hilarious as a caricature, see Rich the Ollie, among others. And also, you know, is a communist.”
“Bernie Sanders did his honeymoon in Moscow.”
