¶ Strong Economy Under Trump
Good morning. Welcome to the Dick Morris and Doug DePiro show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group.
Good morning, Dick Morris. It's not morning anymore actually.
Yeah, well six minutes, right? The uh war continues in the Middle East, the U U US Iranian war, but the economy's not paying any attention. No, it's having no effect at all on the economy. And Trump with his increased oil production and with his uh determination in keeping the embargo going is affecting the rest of the world but not affecting the United States.
The economy added 172,000 new payroll jobs in May, the Bureau of Labor statistics reported, as business Shrugged off the energy supply shock from the war with Iran. The unemployment rate remained at four point three percent. Forecasters had expected payroll job growth to slow to eighty five thousand. Instead it accelerated and previous months job games were revised up. Dan North, the senior economist with uh Alliance Trade America, told the Washington Examiner that the report
is a pretty strong indication that the labor market is healthier than economists had thought. He also pointed out strong reports in the preceding months where job growth was over a hundred thousand Not just beat expectation, but rock and roll, North said. I mean three months in a row it's been really impressive. Friday's report is likely to provide a shot in the arm for President Trump, who has been weighing down by historically how low consumer sediment
The conflict with Iran and the halt of oil tankers through the strait darkened the e economic picture over the course of May. So It doesn't seem that that's doing much damage to our our gas.
The amazing thing was that if you recall during the uh last year the f continuous focus and McLaughlin repository was constantly telling me the answer is to pass the tax trump tax cuts now. So that'll take effect before the midterm.
Big, gigantic, beautiful thing.
Yeah. He said the big problem in uh the last cycle was that we didn't pass the tax cuts until the end. And the result was that the uh economy was not good going into the election. And the focus now was incredibly on passing the tax cut early so it will take effect as before the election. And that's exactly what's happening.
Uh because of the tax cut, because of the enormous economic growth it's stimulating, the war in Iraq Iran seems almost an afterthought and really does not appear to be doing much to affect the economy at all.
I I also I really believe people realize Getting rid of this nuclear problem, you know, a m bomb. That's a and pe even people that don't like'em Have to be sane, or at least maybe my kids won't get blown up type of thing.
¶ Manufacturing Renaissance and Wage Growth
And while that's going on, the American factory worker is experiencing an economic renaissance amid President Trump's policies to revise US manufacturing. The average weekly paycheck for a non supervisable non supervisory durable goods factory worker. That's non superv non supervisory durable goods.
Yeah.
Is up seven point four percent according to data. Hourly pay is up five point three percent. And the average work week has expanded, particularly due to rising overtime. Mm. And that's without inflation. Pay growth continued in May. Hourly wages rose four tenths of one percent, and weekly wages climbed six tenths of one percent. Uh the good real durable goods output grew at an annualized rate of five point eight percent for the first three months of the year.
Productivity, the amount of goods produced for an hour of work rose at a five point five percent annualized right in the first quarter, and that's because Trump is giving a green light to AI technology and not hampering it. Although inflation is high, factory worker pay is rising significantly faster than prices. After adjusting for inflation using the April Consumer Price Index, the latest available. Real weekly pay is up 3.5%, and hourly pay is up 1.5%.
The last time real weekly wages were consistently this good was the post war boom from nineteen forty seven to nineteen sixty nine. Take home pay gains are even stronger for many workers because Trump's big beautiful bill cut taxes on overtime.
Now, really, you know, three percent it doesn't seem like a lot of money.
Oh that's per month.
How does how does that three percent is three percent? A dollar is three cents.
So it's it's three percent year on year for the month. Right. Okay. Well, yeah, but look the uh
I mean just going up alone is is a is a positive that it's going up not down.
Not faster than inflation is enormous. Enormously positive.
Right.
¶ Demographic Shifts and Republican Advantage
And it's causing the democratic map of respective victories to collapse. And this is, I guess, the key point. Apart from the economy, which gives you short term indications as to what's gonna happen in the midterms. From twenty to twenty five, five year period. Texas gained two point five six million people. Florida gained one point nine two million. North Carolina gained seven hundred and fifty six thousand. Georgia gained five hundred and eighty nine thousand.
Arizona, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Washington State all grew substantially as well. So all those red states have grown significantly. Meantime, the old blue collar pillars still finished underwater or badly lagged the red state boom. New York over the four year period lost o more than two hundred thousand people. California more than two hundred thousand. Illinois one hundred thousand.
It's what they're losing.
Florida alone gained five million people. Wow. New York, California, and Illinois together lost five hundred thousand people. In other words, even after Biden's open borders flooded blue states sanctuary cities with masses of illegal immigrants, uh the photo the map the uh the map just kept on running. Demonstile socialism to California, the wealth tax on the left just keeps pouring gasoline on the vire.
Yeah, but hopefully.
Look at this. Yeah. But look at this from a national point of view.
We have
It star the Democratic Party started out with a big advantage in the House of Representatives. At the very beginning of the country. Because slaves were counted and then illegal immigrants are counted. And that gives the Democrats a big advantage going into it. Then the then that advantage began to fray away. The uh the re uh the Supreme Court said that you may not count uh that said that you may not count uh bla uh race in doing reapportionment.
This is recent, just this recent yeah.
Uhhuh. Is enormous. From the rule states to the red states is enormous.
But we don't see that yet.
No, but we see the population data that'll be based on uh uh and when the reapportion comes on in tw next year, the effect will be enormous. Uh, you're talking about millions of people moving from democratic states to Republican states, and the effect will be huge in reapportionment. You combine that with not being able to count uh overcount black people, that is not being able to reapportion based on race.
Which uh they now can't do. And you combine that with the the underlying trend of the economy doing so well. Trump is in s fabulous shape as we approach the midterm. And more importantly, the Republican Party has a permanent advantage. I think that after the reapportionment is finished, after the court decision is taken account, after we finish all the redistricting, The Republican edge over the Democrats will make the House.
permanently Republican. And uh that will mean that both houses will be Republican.
Democrats are gonna have to up their game to get ever get back in the game. To get ever get back
¶ Blue State Exodus, Red State Boom
But let me ask you, uh I'm looking at that chart with New York lost two hundred thousand. That's the whole state, but is it m mostly New York City?
Altyazı M.K.
I would think.
Right.
Right. Oh yeah, right. So that I think if I remember correctly, they lost like Twenty thousand jobs. Some ridiculous, maybe thirty, I think.
Decades Democrats have been protected by a map that inflated their strength. Racial gerrymandering spotted them dozens of deliberately non competitive states. illegal immigration pad of the population counts. And thus both House seats and electoral votes of the state of their own citizens are fleeing. On top of that, the twenty twenty census short red states inflated blue ones.
That's three huge systemic cheats that are all crack cracking all at once. And gets even worse as America moves south, west and right. The twenty thirty census is going to be ugly for red state for blue state.
So plus uh Trumics is starting to come up and that's starting to work out.
Working so well. Yeah, absolutely. Um, in fact, manufacturing expanded for the fifth consecutive month. The ISM and Manufacturing Index Brutal. reach the magic fifty mark for the fifth straight month. signaling expansion. That that's a measurement of how optimistic the factories are and their production orders are.
Fifty percent better.
fifty means it's average and fifty four current level means it's going up.
Got it. Okay.
Uh Joe Biden drove a manufacturing offshore. Donald Trump is bringing it back. Put the Trump economics policies of tough tariffs, pro investment tax policy together, and the boardroom math changes overnight. This is how you rebuild an industrial base. You don't beg companies to come home like Hogel's doing. You change the economics so coming home becomes the rational decision.
That's the most important thing right there. You change the economics so coming home becomes a rational decision. It's the smart move. Right. That was so important, that one line.
So remember back last year we were so focused on getting the Trump tax cuts passed and getting them passed early so that they would affect the midterm elections. And we succeeded in doing that. And you're now seeing the impact. Even with an oil embargo, even with the negatives of the gas price increase. You have tremendous economic growth and tremendous economic activity. It's kinda like gas prices are up, but who gives a damn?
And the ability of the economy to continue to grow without hampering because of the tax cuts is enormous.
¶ Youth Labor Force Decline Concerns
Well, I I think it's important the the gasoline. People do care, but they see that that's going to go down and
And they say that it's relatively minor compared to everything else.
compared to everything else we're gonna be in
And their wages are going up a hell of a lot faster than gas prices.
And people really believe it.
Exactly. Right.
That's the most important. I'll spend the extra twenty bucks for a tank of gas more If I know I'm gonna survive to drive that full tank. I mean the latest date from the BLS show is only thirty five percent of teenagers are working or looking for a a job down from fifty percent and m and moreover, the last forty years. Unbelievable. Summer jobs
Well once a staple of the teenage experience, but this season's teen hiring total is expected to hit its lowest levels in decades. Sure, why should you get a job? They sit home and play the thing and get free stuff and why. I'm not gonna go out and work. My father would have punched me in the back of the head if I didn't go out and get a a paper out at twelve years old.
Out Outplacement Firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas Projects teens will gain almost eight hundred thousand jobs between May and July, the lowest summer hiring total. sixteen to nineteen year olds since the Bureau of Labor statistics began. Inflation and rising fuel costs are squeezing the same households and small business that they're not hiring kids to do their stuff and whatnot, you know?
Um, for comparison, the average since two thousand thirteen has been around one point three million according to the challenge of kids getting jobs.
That's supposed to be about eight hundred thousand now.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow. The labor force participate rate for people ages six to nineteen, sixteen to nineteen, the share of the population either employed or actively lick looking for work was thirty five percent. Wow. In July of twenty five. That's in line with a decade ago, but down significantly from nearly sixty percent in the late seventies. This is not so great. In New York City applications for Sunday why would they wanna go to work, people in New York City?
the the application for the summer youth employment.
Um
Has top last year's record of 200,000 people competing for a hundred thousand openings.
Yeah, but this isn't a sign of economic weakness. No way. This is a sign of people saying scream.
No people people's weakness.
Right. Nothing a labor force, exactly. Right. And the more your benefits increase, the less likely the people are to
You ever how you hear Sebastian the comedy guy? He's funny, the Italian last name, Maracosco, something like that, right? He goes. Everyone's out they go after college they go and they they oh I gotta v uh find myself, I'm going to Europe. My father kicked me in the bat you find yourself, you're there, look in the mirror. And I was ten years old my father says, Get a job, what are you doing? Yeah, I I was an altar boy.
¶ New York's Speed Limiting Legislation
Well it's it's it's it's changing. And it's changing because the basic economy is changing.
Okay.
is giving us a tremendous present. That Doug here really appreciates.
New York's Democratic governor signed legislation Wednesday. authorizing authorities to make drivers with dangerous number of speeding violations install speed limiting devices. Listen, I gotta be one of those, right, Dick? But I gotta tell ya, I gotta after we finish this, um
Democratic New York HOCL legislation will allow the pilot program to target so called super speeders. I used to be speed racer, now I'm super speeder in New York City with the potential p potential to expand into other parts of the state. W ABC reported. Um, that's what we reported. Drivers with sixteen or more speed in violations in one year period qualify for this designation and must install an intelligent speed assistant device in their vehicle. But listen.
You used to get six points or eight points on your license for so and they just took your license away. So this is a little extra, you know, you still could drive. And I got a another thing. Yeah, I g I got a lot of tickets, but it you notice lately I do not get any number one, I don't drive as much in the sick plus I'm careful. This isn't the worst thing in the world because Lot of crazy people out there speeding through the city and we gotta watch out we don't get killed.
And it's gonna slow people down. It's gonna give them the initiative I normally wouldn't like
Combine this with the other stuff they're doing to New York City. Right. Makes it very hard to live here.
Listen, we're gonna take a break and we'll come back and pick the story up.

¶ House Weakens Trump's Iran Stance
Just to just to add a little bit to that, I don't wanna go over this whole thing. Um, I get that part, but she's trying to have a power grab, is that what you were saying?
Yeah, well she's she's doing stuff that the left approves of.
Yeah.
Right. But uh I think that that l freeing people should be free uh to operate their own cars and
Alright, let's forget all of that. You think she you think she has a shot of getting reelected?
Not. More likely to win than lose.
No way. Yeah. No way.
New York is a democratic state.
What's the what's the um uh percentage, New York City to the state of voters?
Half. No, New York Metropolitan Air.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
It's about seventy percent of the voters.
Seventy percent of New York State. Yeah.
Whoa. And New York City is about forty percent.
Doesn't matter. It's the whole wow. Well we gotta hope that Blakeman Suffolk County and all that's his area, right? Suffolk County?
Yeah.
Right, so
The house passes war powers resolution to cut And in the in the hostilities in Iran, weakening Trump's negotiating strategy. Now this is a purely symbolic vote. It means absolutely nothing. Right. The Trump says the War Powers Act is unconstitutional. Presidents from the moment it was passed have said it was unconstitutional. And that Trump has said I'm not gonna abide by it. But nevertheless
The uh the vote is largely symbolic because even a war powers measure were to pass the Senate, President Trump will certainly veto it. But it deals with a real blow to the president's l leverage to negotiate a peace deal with Iran. Sure, if his Senate and the people don't back them, the the peace people, the people in Iran say, yeah, you don't even want to do this. Mr. Trump has said the Iranians have brought up Democrats repeated war powers vote.
How do you feel this is what I'm saying? How do you feel when you're negotiating, you're winning every point and they say, But in Washington they wanna stop you from negotiating? He said last month, it's only political. It's the Democrats. They're dumb. They're stupid people. They're mor I added that. Those comments have not stopped the growing power, uh war powers uh momentum in Congress.
The House Republicans who voted for the war powers resolution and really got remember these names on Wednesday, um It Thomas Massey, Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Warren Davison of Ohio.
But Massey voted that way because he got Massey curd in the election.
But just remember these.
to fear him.
In the Senate, the GOP Senate is Bill Cass.
Well we also defeated
Right. Oh yes right. Just the other day, right? Sunday, whatever it was. Susan Collins, the creepy thing. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul, I'm surprised at that. Helped Democrats.
So basically as Trump defeats them, they vote against him in Congress. But that's understandable and it's a matter of time until they're out of
Yeah, but they still don't care about the country'cause they're worried oh, I was defeated, I'm a little
More than worried about the country. They want to get even and they want to shift
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying. Anyway, so obviously anything that provides congressional support for the president's efforts to take on Hezbollah Hamas. the threat they pose to the United States and ultimately Iran, it would be a positive, he said, but we haven't asked for it because we believe every operation that has been conducted is well within the law as it exists. And that's exact
Let's hear from Mark Sands.
Yeah, let's get uh Roxanne's on the phone. This is on the rocks. What happened today in history?
¶ Historical Moments: Independence and D-Day
Well to change the tone a little bit. Um the quote is the secret of happiness is freedom. the secret of freedom is courage. And that's a quote from five hundred B C by an Athenian historian and general. I hope I pronounce his name right. Socidudes Yes, exactly.
We knew Dick would know it.
On this day there were two that I picked great historical moments. The first, today in seventeen seventy six appropriately, During the American Revolution
Which is
Henry Lee. presented what became known as the Lee Resolution, little known, to Congress in Philadelphia, setting the stage for the United States declaration of independence on july fourth, seventeen seventy six.
The League resolution said these colonies are and ought to be independent states and that set the process rolling for independence.
Right. So we thank God for their foresight and so here we are, preparing to celebrate two hundred and fifty years of that independence. Another important event remembered is Normandy landings known as D Day, which is a military code, day of attack. In nineteen forty four, during World War Two Allied forces launched the largest seaborne invasion in history.
The success of Diet came at a tremendous cost with lives, yet the operation led to the liberation of Paris and ultimately the defeat of Hitler's regime. D Day is remembered as a powerful example of courage, sacrifice and international cooperation. But unbeknownst to many was the meeting of Roosevelt, Churchill and Soviet leader Stalin. They met in Tehran in nineteen forty three. They coordinated military strategies with one common goal to defeat Nazi Germany.
planning Operation Overload, the invasion in Normandy, which took place after that meeting, six months, five days exactly. We pray for this cooperation as President Trump negotiates to disarm Iran and for basic humane treatment in that region. that has overflowed in our own country and others with this Islamic jihadist radical extremism. One must revisit history.
to understand that peace obtained by a great leader comes with immense responsibility, expedient decisiveness, combined with moral courage. Our President, Donald Trump. As Americans, right now, our patriotism is an emotional bond, loving our country with pride, gratitude, and yes, personal sacrifices, as they were talking earlier, with gas, etcetera. But we cannot afford this moment in history to be or do anything less. So blessings to all as we're going through these trying times.
Nice.
Very nice one.
Thank you, Raxanne.
¶ D-Day Strategy and Casualties
Yes, Dick. Um Normandy, I saw a great, great movie with Tom Seller called Ice.
Yeah.
And it was fantastic. And it wasn't about I w the uh the visual wasn't the men storming The beaches. The the whole premise of this thing, I I took from it, was the way Ike thought about sending these men. Yeah.
There was like there was always a fundamental division between Britain and the United States and the way we approach D Day. Churchill was uh had been sponsoring the invasion of Gallipoli in the Turkey uh into the Crimea during the First World War. which he saw as an end run around the stalemate on the western front. And that and the the invasion was a total flop, a total failure. There had been inadequate coordination. Right.
And he saw millions of dead bodies floating in the water as being the consequence of any invasion. And he was did not want that to happen.
Because of that, because of how Gallipoli. Because of that. That in the back of his mind.
Saying Britain can't afford that. We've already had one generation wiped out. We can't afford another to be wiped out. Yeah, that's that's tough. Stalin kept saying the only way to end this war is a direct attack on Berlin. And the only way to do that is through France. So Churchill kept saying, No, let's go through North Africa, let's go through Sicily, let's go through Italy
have kept it another year.
Church and Stalin said, You're just delaying. Yeah, right. And Churchill said, Not delaying, I'm rehearsing, I'm practicing. And ultimately Eisenhower made the difference. He was with Rose.
Supreme leader, right? Supreme Lord.
and make clear that we are going to go into North Africa and Sicily and Italy and then we're going to go into France and that we're not going to let anything delay us. Uh the uh Th the the other point that lay behind that Is the Churchill wanted to gain the advantage over Russia in the post war era? He was afraid of communism. He looked forward to the Cold War. He saw that after this war was over, we'd be fighting a cold war with Russia.
And the issue was where should we stop in the pursuit of Germany? Where should our troops join? Where should Stalin's forces and the West meet and shake hands? Churchill wanted it to be much closer to Poland, much closer to the much to the east. because he said we need to preserve power in Europe and the only way to do that is to have the bulk of Europe occlied by the West, not by the Soviets.
And uh Stalin was not having that and just charged directly ahead and ended up splitting Berlin and splitting Germany. But the uh fundamental distinction between the Allies, between Churchill's desire to preserve the British Empire and minimize casualties for Britain And Roosevelt's desire to end the war as quickly as possible by directly conquering Germany and taking Berlin uh split the Allies and was really the substance of the Tehran conference.
Um now Wha it was Eisenhower as supreme leader, right? Does that mean what he says goes? Like in other words, I'm doing Norman. I'm gonna do I'm gonna go into Normandy to beaches. That was it, even if they disagreed, or how did that work?
Well, he was the supreme leader. Uhhuh. But he served at the sufferance of Churchill and Roosevelt. He did. Yeah. And uh they could fire him any time they wanted to.
Oh really?
So it was really a joint operation.
It was just a nice name. Well I'll tell you what, in that movie, and I I suggest everyone watch it was really a b a great movie for you know, it wasn't a war movie as per se, you know, that wasn't all about, you know, the battles. He said something and this is the writers obviously, who knows if Eisenhower said it but they got the gist of his feel. He went to see...
Uh he went to to pilots that were gonna take off the week before, a couple of days before. And he wanted to give them a little hello and a pep talk and whatever, right?
And when he got back and he was good friends with his driver, he always used to talk to him. The whole movie was a a lot about that. And when he got back and and I don't know the real numbers and percentages, but let's say there were um Thirty pilots standing there and they're sh he shaking their hands and thank you, sir, blah, blah, blah.
He got in a thing and his friend said, you know, his driver said, What's up? What's up, bike? And he goes, you know, and whatever the percentage was that the bean counter said, only f half are gonna come back. He said there's dirty guys there, this fifteenth are fifteen are coming back. I'm gonna chill right now saying that. And I don't know if that's the exact verbatim what he said was close to it. And that's how we was feeling. He goes, You know, I just sent
Fifteen guys to die just now. You know, thirty are going and only fifteen are gone.
We had ten thousand deaths. in Normandy of American troops. W which was enormous.
thousand. But how many Roxana said it there was uh how many thousands stormed, a hundred thousand?
fifty thousand.
50,000
Wow. Ten thousand fifty died.
So less than ten percent. I mean one is too many
Yeah. That's huge.
A huge number.
So let's go back to uh modern times.
¶ Trump Tax Cuts Benefit All
Why? Thank you, Roxanna, by the way.
A majority of the people who are who claimed new Trump tax breaks this year earned less than ten thousand dollars. So the Republican the Democratic charges that this was a tax break for the rich, not for the middle class. Are totally untrue. half of those who got tax breaks, the majority, were under a hundred thousand a year.
اشتركوا في القناة
Among them that's particularly important is the no tax on tips. Affected seven and a half million taxpayers who claimed no tax on TIPS and nine of the ten earning under a hundred thousand. Twenty nine million violers claimed the no tax on overtime deduction. Three quarters of those are in less than a hundred thousand.
thirty five million seniors claimed the enhanced deductions for seniors over the age of sixty five, a provision meant to fulfill Trump's campaign promise and taxes on Social Security. Of those two thirds earned less than a hundred thousand. This analysis confirms President Trump's tax policies deliver substantial tax cuts to hardworking Americans and provide greater relief and financial certainty to low and middle income households.
It's worth noting that many of the new tax proposals were designed to largely benefit low and middle income taxpayers. They've phased out taxes on income. Yeah.
You know, Dick.
Enormous information.
I I hear that a lot of New Yorkers are not doing this. You know, the the tax the uh tax on tip thing. Um I asked some people
Well that that means that New York State is not incorporating the federal data.
I don't know this I haven't looked into it to be uh positive about it, but by next week I'm gonna look into it. That means New York State is not
New York State is still taxing tips. Right. But n but the federal government is not. And uh it means that because they they can't do it unless the state agrees to it. Uh now the federal tax deduction continues. Right. And you don't pay taxes on tips on your federal returns.
Oh okay.
But you do when you state return.
Mm. The copycat candidate.
Damn.
Sullivan, this is unbelievable. When we get back.

¶ Copycat Candidate Controversy
Have you noticed how in the California mayor's race and the governor's race? As the days tick by after election day, the lead of the Republicans drops and the lead of the Democ and the Democrats come back. That's either because
The Democrats are voting by mail and takes a while to count it or voter fraud. And we don't know the answer to that. That's right. But in federal elections we will know now, because Trump has proposed and in force a series of measures that really change that, particularly telling the post office that they can't deliver and can't be complicit in mail in ballot fraud. And uh we have to see how that is enforced, but it shows the importance of it.
So you wanna hear this? This is a funny story right here. Talk about copycat candidate. A closely watched U.S. Senate campaign in Alaska is stoking controversy after a candidate bearing the same name as one of the major candidates entered the race.
This is unbelievable.
As Republican incumbent in the race, Senator Dan Sullivan is engaged in one of the tightest campaigns for the upper chamber in in the country, faces a formidable challenger in former Democrat Republican Mary Peltola. The recent entrance of another, the recent entrance of another Dan Sullivan into the race. has triggered accusations from the incumbent lawmaker, a top Republican leadership and top Republican leadership that Democrats plotted his candidacy to derail the senator's campaign. Wow.
I think that any disruption in the political ecosystem right now was probably designed by Democrats to give their candidates an an an advantage, he added. The other Dan Sul the other Dan Sullivan they're gonna have to call him announced his campaign for the Senate last week ahead of the August eighteenth open primary election. Like the incumbent lawmaker, the other Dan Sullivan is registered Republican, according to the Alaskan Division of Elec Election.
I had that situation happen to me.
Dick Morris?
In nineteen seventy eight, uh I was running the campaign for Bob Casey, who ultimately went on to become governor and senator and switched parties. He switched parties. I switched parties. Anyway. Back when I was a Democrat. I was working for Bob Casey in the campaign in a primary against the guy from Pittsburgh. And uh we were winning'cause we had done a good job as state treasurer. And then all of a sudden another Bob Casey, Robert P. Casey.
He said Rick Mor uh Dick Morris. Oh Bob Casey.
Another Bob Casey entered the race. The Democrats who were opposing my Bob Casey had put up a biology teacher who spent no money on the campaign, simply the filing fee, had no background, nothing in politics. But they put him on the ballot so that he would draw votes from my Bob Casey.
Imagine.
And uh on election day we lost the primary and when you look at the precincts we lost. We lost, but the other Bob Casey, the phony one, had a huge vote in those precincts.
Well to Dan Sullivan he's threatening legal. Action on the other damsel than saying the Democrat is trying to rig this thing. Do you know that Michael Douglas? Michael Keaton, who's a great actor also. Michael Keaton's name was Michael Douglas. Also, but he took his mother's maiden name because of Michael Douglas. Who cares about this? Anybody? No, we do not. Let's get to the next story. Platiner.
¶ Controversial Democratic Senate Candidate
Senate Democrats heckled by protesters over main candidates, KKK guy. Democrats uh it says K-I-K. You seeing that right there? That's supposed to be K-K-K, isn't it?
I don't know.
I don't need it. I'm gonna go with K K K. Democratic Senator candidate Graham Platner was heckled Tuesday for sexual depravity um and called a freak when he arrived at A meeting of uh Senate Democrats on Capitol.
These are Democrats protesting against Platina because they're afraid that he's gonna lose the race to Collins, which he would. And they're calling on Platinum to pull out because they want another candidate. But they originally were backing Janet Mills, who was the governor of Maine, but she pulled out of the race. And nobody thought Platinum was gonna be the candidate, but now it turns out he is gonna be the candidate.
They're calling them porta potty platiner. Yeah.
And people are having an absolute fit.
The you know, the lawmakers that met with Platinum were also heckled by protesters with a a bullhorn who who asked why Mr. Platinum KKK account isn't still alive. No, KIK account is still active. The protesters called him out by name Amy Clobashore of Minnesota, Adam Shift and Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts.
Platinum previously weathered backlash from the Nazi symbol tattoo on his chest, which he covered up after announcing his Senate run. He has also been blasted for several posts on his now deleted Reddit. account that include topics such as sexual assault and military Oh, this is h horrible. He also mocked a Purple Heart recipient calling the wounded soldier a dumb mother effer.

Of course we are, and ask why don't black people tip? Really? Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, Chucky, voice support on Tuesday for Mr Platner. What's his uh poop in your thing, Platinum? But refused to address mounting controversy surrounding him. Really? Chucky likes the guy.
Well, yeah.
If you know if Chucky likes him, you know he's so good.
He's forced to because he won the primary and he stuck with this guy and they want him to drop dead and get out of the race. But he won't do them a favor, he won't die. And uh he is the Democratic candidate against Susan Collins, a seat the Democrats must pick up in order to win the Senate.
Right, but she's always voting for the left anyway this

¶ Climate Change as a Hoax
Sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. I just wanted to say about the uh climate change story that the entire world the economies of every major country were totally impacted by this absolutely phony BS that the world was in the middle of climate change. And that this climate change was a disaster, it was totally atypical of history, and that we face we had to face enormous changes. An entire generation, actually two generations of American kids.
got brainwashed about the importance of climate change. And now it turns out that it was a hoax. And they're all admitting it was a hoax.
And you know, it it was obvious if you really just common sense and you sit back, sometimes you turn the sound off, you can see people lying, you know, the way their body actions.
I mean, where did we go together decades back?
We don't.
It basically uh is still working off climate change and they forget that they have all this oil in the North Sea. Uh br th the US uh was uh was dealing with its hands hands tied behind its back. because we couldn't reduce the oil. We couldn't really let it happen. Entire neighborhoods, entire communities, entire states went into poverty because they couldn't produce oil. They couldn't produce uh because they produce fossil fuels.
And when did this end? When this you know, it ends with a bang, not with with a whimper, not with a bang. And we need to just understand that we were taken for a total ride, a total deceit, and it ended up screwing millions of people.
You know Dick Even still, once in a while I'll get somebody excuse me. That'll say, Oh no, you don't believe in climate change. It used to be global warming, right? You don't believe in climate change. Well you're something wrong with you. You gotta believe it and they they go at me. Those are people that just feel holier than thou, that they know m so much more. Their morals are so stronger than mine and that's what that's about.
Well they were taught that in school.
Well no, even before that, even when we were growing up. in whatever it was, the eighties, maybe the late seventies, eighties, and you heard about this. I at first, like I said earlier, yeah, sure, okay, let me s look into this. And then I realized this is a lot of bull. There's absolutely
And and and also like I said earlier, right when Gore said, Oh, global warming, then it became climate change I go, Well they don't. How how could you can't change that? You can't have this on your mind and change it that quickly. All right, this is a good story.
¶ Immigration Detention Center Allegations
Uh Mark Wayne Mullen refutes the Laney Hall detainee allegations that reports that, you know, there was no there was health violations and whatnot. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen said that no health violations have been found in the Delaney Hall Immigration Detention Center in Newark. which has become the latest flashpoint of anti ice violations. Allegations of inhumane conditions include maggot infested protesters. No, maggot infested food.
Which made Delaney Hall a a magnet for protesters, I call them the magnet.
Get mad at me.
Uh right. I call them the maggot protesters who became increasingly violent. Oh, that's not inhumane to for them to be increasingly violent. It's humane whatever. But a Senate hearing Tuesday, when Democratic lawmakers pressed Mr. Muller about the conditions, the Secretary reported that Delaney Hall got a clean bill of health. In fact, just recently the state of New Jersey's health inspectors went in, they didn't find one single violation
He added that a lot of claims were made and they just absolutely were not true. You know, the the liars should be docs. These people should have their their names out. At the hearing mister Mulls Mr Mullen also rejected reports of hunger strikes at the facility. He I always love when people have hunger Al Sharpton used to have hunger stripes. He f strikes. That's how w how he lost his weight. Have on the hunger strike. Eat a carrot. So he said a handful of un uh unauthorized immigrant detained
at Delaney Hall refused to eat because they demanded ethnic food. That's why they talk about maggots in the food,'cause these people didn't want to eat their food. 'Cause of their religion. Bacon all day long. The demonstrations outside Delaney Hall, which have been a daily occurrence since late May, grew increase increasingly hostile with protesters.
Storming police. Oh, that's okay. And barricades setting fires on the street and hurling glass bottles, rocks and lumber and fireworks at police. So that's okay. That's not inhumane.
Whenever I see this story.
Get the frig outta here.
Whenever whenever I see the story about these demonstrations been going on for two weeks now, I am very thankful politically. Because the biggest problem is how do you keep attention to achievements you've already done? When you've deported two million people and thrown them out of the country and got another million who left volunteering
Not them keeping attention or
How do we keep it tight? How do we tell our voters that? How do we get our voters to focus on this with the midterms coming up with Iran's war waging? How do we get them to focus back attention on what we've already accomplished?
That's right.
Which was the enormous change in the uh in in in the economy. And how do we get them to focus on the throwing people out of the country? And the problem is you don't. The people pocket the achievement, they forget who did it and it doesn't give doesn't give you credit for it. But by continuing these demonstrations and by going completely crazy about
They keep the issue front and center and they keep it politically actionable. So as a politician, as a strategist, I am so thrilled that they're doing this.
And they're embarrassed they're embarrassing people. They are embarrassing themselves. in their protests. They talk about humane uh facility and then you throw glass and bottles and things at cops. So what are they talking? Don't don't talk about
Thank goodness they're doing it. Because without these demonstrations, we might forget the enormous change that Trump is bringing about.
I like your idea about it.
I don't understand how huge this change is. It's gonna affect congressional apportionment for the rest of the century. It's affected the crime rates in many, many cities. It's completely changed the budget forecast and permitted tax reductions. Uh it's been an enormous change getting rid of these people. And this demographic change it went far beyond the just immigration issue. It's the this it's it's reshaping America. And thank God he's doing it and thank God he's getting credit for it.
So more protesters keep coming out, protesters.
¶ Ukraine War: Russia Is Losing
You know, as we prepare these weekly summaries for the radio show, uh I've been less and less likely to include stuff about the Ukraine war. Yeah, I know. And that's because there's a dirty little secret going on. Ukraine is winning the war. Russia is losing it. Yeah. maps of the world based on on satellite photography have indicated a huge gain But an important gain by Ukraine in the percentage of the land Ukraine owns. C Russian casualties have now exceeded a million dead.
哇
One million dead. And Rubio just said, So to this point neither side has been willing to make concessions, particularly on the Russian side. We remain ready to play any role we can in the context of bringing a peace about, because we think the war in Ukraine, devastating war, has no military solution. It can only be solved through a diplomatic route and that's been unfruitful.
But he's wrong. The fact is that Ukraine is winning this war, which is why cr cr which is why Putin is not anxious to go through negotiations. If you Because Ukraine Ukraine has changed its tactics in the war. Uh it no longer fights tank to tank. It fights drones
Uh guys on the floor, yeah on the ground.
Uh drone attack. and and very low cost attacks which create huge casualties and the Russian army's not prepared to come.
Well, you said that Russia lost a a solid million people, soldier. How many did Ukraine lose? Do you know the number?
No, but it's not nearly as well.
Really? Wow.
So it's not nearly as large. And the point is that that the on the ground Ukraine's defeating Russia and Russia does not have the capacity to replace the battlefield losses that it's incurred. Uh, and we've the it's so important to understand that. Uh this war which originally everybody assumed Ukraine would lose, that Russia would occupy it, and everybody thought it would take a matter of months. Then settled into stalemate and now the stalemate is gradually being pushed back by Ukraine.
And Zelensky doesn't want a solution because Zelensky knows that he's winning the war. And he's gonna continue to win this war and it's going to result in huge changes in Russia. Possibly the toppling of Putin, certainly the
I thought that would have happened already.
Certainly the end of Russia's imperialism.
The the not very well read army.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean originally he thought he could make it up by North Korean troops. I sent them in and they got screwed.
how many of them. We've got to figure out all you know.
forced out. And uh now he's he's he's he's instituted called conscrip conscription in Russia. He's drafting people, he's taking them off the street. He's destabilizing his regime. He's mortgaging everything to this war. And he's making no progress, zero progress. And the key thing is that the satellite photography from space shows that in terms of actual square mileage, Ukraine has gained in the last year and Russia has
Oh, I am not see that. We gotta look into that. Let's let's go to the phones anyway.
¶ Listener Call: Politics and D-Day
Um how about we go to this this is funny. This is your your buddy Nadal Nadler, he wants to talk about Russ and White Plains. I don't know why I'm taking this one. Hey Russ and White Plains. You know, Dick used to be good friends with him and uh did you guys have a an apartment together?
Yeah, we shit as my roommate.
All right. Right, sorry.
Well I I thought you guys went to high school to
Yeah.
Yeah.
And now we spin again.
You looked really good on Newsmax, Dick, and that's really the second question I wanted to ask you about, you know, your appearance with Giggles co I mean Rita Cosby on Newsmax and you emphasized it was more important to correct mail in ballot fraud than voter ID. I wanted to ask you about that. But I wanted to you asked about Jerry uh well, first of all, D Day was operation over the law.
Right.
overload. And um you know, you've had such a diverse career, Dick, since your your a government job and Jerry's what's he gonna do? He can't go back to being night manager at the O T B on Bye. Bye.
Wait, was it really night manager? I bet it was.
Alright.
Yeah.
It's it's uh Jerry's career is over and uh
Real quick, Dick, his political power is being eroded because if his chief of staff, Michael Lasher, loses, you know, his Democratic Superclub, it's it wasn't like Riverside Democrats w which was clowns and jokers. I really enjoyed you there. you know, Stanley, all the people there with you. But I'd like to know have did if you watch the
the uh debate who's gonna replace Jerry because this Kennedy kid Schlossberg looked real good to me. He uh said that Lasher was for stopping Frisk and uh Schlossberg renounced offensive weapons to uh Israel. You know, he seems like a good guy. Now Gates and Bannon are saying that the war on Iran was a foreign policy bundler. You know, Dick, I'll t be honest. I voted for Trump twice, but you build freedom by building socialism and Merritt Montami has that courage. Thanks very much, guys.
Thank you, Ross.
That courage?
Yeah.
I remember that. Go ahead.
Um Line.
Thank you.
always talking about how uh oh Puerto Rico's gonna be a D C is gonna be a state.

¶ UNRWA's Ties to Terrorism
The UN the US should pull the plug on the UN relief agency.
Now this is big. The federal government should put an end to the United Nations relief and work. That's UNRWA agency. It has long convened Connived, right. It has long connived at Islamist terrorism against Israel and has, to put it mildly, long been an impediment to peace. In May eighteenth letter Tom Cotton, ten Cruz Ted Cruz, and twenty three of their Republican colleagues urged President Trump to take a decisive decisive
action to fully dismantle the UNRWA and eliminate it from the budget, the UN budget. The Senate has cited um UNRWA's links to October seventh. Hamas terrorist attack in Israel in which Iranians backed terrorists invaded the Jew state and murdered twelve hundred people. The massacre was the largest slaughter of Jewish civilians since the Holocaust. Uh UN employees were among the perpetrators. Wow, this is crazy. They were also among those who kept some of the terrorists hostage. Wow.
There were also themselves in the an Israeli investigation found that at least twelve UNRWA employees took part in the attack. The U.S. Agency for International Development Office of Inspector General has since identified additional current and former former UNRWA workers tied to the assault.
Agency that was set up by the UN for the purpose of dealing with Palestinian refugees. And at first it was one of a number of places around the world that had this problem. And then gradually all the other refugees and all the other countries went away. After several generations they settled into their new countries. They were absorbed by their new countries, but the Palestinians were not.
And the UN s UN agency became dedicated exclusively to the needs of the Palestinian refugees, who were refugees really by choice. They refuse to resettle into their lands. They refuse to be reabsorbed into the landscape. Like water after a flood that wouldn't go down because it refused to be absorbed into the ground. And instead the UN RWA, the UN relief agency, has become the epicenter of terrorism. And we need to get rid of it, we need to close it, we need to pull the plug on it.
And its financing is almost entirely by the United States. And we just should stop. It's ridiculous that we are funding this. What is it, seventy year eighty years after the Civil War allegedly caused these refugees? This is total nonsense.
Just stop it. Let's go to the uh f uh to the phones again. Um Michael of Rockaway Beach. Hi, Michael.
¶ Oil Market Manipulation and Stock Reactions
Hey guys, good afternoon. Um This week uh Trump and Bassan questioned the free market mechanism of the stock market when it sold off after those employment numbers came out. I'm wondering if the oil market price is and is also manipulated or or r um reacts in a knee jerk fashion.
Thank you.
Of course.
When something happened.
Yeah, it does. Of course. It does. And bear in mind that You're dealing here with the oil market, with people who are buying and selling oil and are anxious to anticipate what the price will be so that they're not caught shorthanded or with a surplus of oil on their hands.
And they all go forward. All the guys that are bringing the oil up, all the oil guys are in cahoots with them. Not even in cahoots. They just I'm going up ten cents, so I'm gonna go up eleven.
And it takes a while for these trends to work out. And you can't treat'em as accurate. They they are fixed. They've always been fixed. Right. And they'll continue to be because they're based on projections as to what you think is likely to happen.
Thank you, Michael. We gotta take a break, Dick, and uh when we get back.

Welcome back to the Dick Morris and Doug DePiro show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. Uh Trump is now dealing with the issue of who is financing illegal immigration.
¶ Trump Fights Illegal Immigration Funding
This is a great
And he's saying that the that what's going on is that when people send remittances home to their families, work people who work in fields in the US uh the that money is being intercepted by organized crime, by the drug cartels.
I would say glommed.
And used to finance them. Yeah.
Yeah, right.
What he's done now is to order a new system set up for remittances so that it'll be done honestly so that it can't be diverted to uh organized crime.
So we signed a an executive order. on the nineteenth, calling it one of the administration's most powerful tools against illim illegal immigration, cartel activity, and financial fraud. The order titled Excuse me, Restoring integrity to America's financial system, directs Treasury and Federal Regators to review banking lending and customer identification practices that the administration says have allowed illegal immigrants money laundering
launderers, human traffickers, and other criminal actors to exploit American financial institutions. The executive order goes well beyond the messaging uh document. It directs Treasury Secretary Bassent to issue guidance identifying suspicions. Financial patterns tied to payroll tax evasion, labor trafficking, shell company activity, off the books wage payments. And the use of indiv individual taxpayer identification numbers to obtain financial services without verified legal presence.
Treasury is also directed to work with federal banking regulation regulators on proposed changes to bank uh secrecy act regulations that would strengthen consumers uh due diligent requirements and give financial institution broader authority to obtain additional information when evaluating fraud, money laundering, sanction evasion, and other illicit financial The problem with this, Dick, Uh it's not a problem. This is a good thing.
But um, you know, we know some institutions that'll real time it happens immediately, some of'em, you know, not this is brand new. Um But the problem with getting people people won't be sending their money back and forth because they're not gonna wanna put their information all over the place and who they are. So that's really not a problem. This is definitely gonna stop a lot of cartels grabbing your money and, you know, some thieves across the border.
Meantime, it's hard to believe that it's controversial that after he survived an assassination attempt of guys r running into the White House correspondence dinner and shooting guns. wounding secret service agents and threatening the president. Somehow or other the in the demand that we install a new ballroom financed entirely by private money and donations has become controversial.
¶ White House Ballroom Security Upgrade
Alright.
Monica Crowley, our friend, who is now the head of protocol at the US, said every modern president has complained about the fact that only two main rooms in the White House where you can do large scale events as the East Room and the State Dining Room. But we do plenty of events that they can really only accommodate about a hundred and forty people.
to believe.
Presidents who want to do large scale events have to put up a tent in the backyard. Women walking in heels, it's raining on you. You're stuck in the mud. It's hot, you're trying to bring in air conditioning. The US America should not have to conduct itself this way.
And you know, there's no more men out there that put their jacket down over the puddle and lift a woman
Mr. Raleigh is quite gone.
I do, not really, but I do. You know, in the beginning of a date I usually go, I open the door and then I do the thing and I go I I always say don't get used to this.
Yeah.
Mr. Trump has demolished the east wing of the White House to construct a ninety thousand square foot ballroom that could accommodate nearly a thousand people. The four hundred million dollar cost of the ballroom which will be almost twice the size of the executive mansion, will be covered by private donations. White House officials have said the ballroom will include This is great. A six-story deep bunker, military hospital, command center, drone port, and other security features.
to withstand direct attack. This is so important. This isn't just a ballroom. This is a everything.
Absolutely.
This is for
And it's seventy and for God's sake after they attacked the White House correspondents' dinner and actually shot people.
And someone shot at the White House.
to get rid of the farming this out to hotels and have it in the White House.
And somebody shot some some rounds at the White House the other day when we I think we were actually in Washington now. I don't remember no. But so what's the matter with you know, first of all If a Democrat comes in and asks for this, it'll get done. I mean they won't have a problem with it. Ridiculous. Hey, let's go to one more call, right, Dick? Um Shannon from Belmore, New York. Hi Shannon. Hi Shannon, are you there?
Yeah, so I'm here. Can you hear me?
Yes, now we can.
Okay, good.
¶ Obamacare Fraud and Immigration Concerns
Um, with the influx of Islamic Muslims coming into this country, flooding in during the Biden administration and taking over politics and businesses and wanting to change our way of life. I think I should start going into these mosques and seeing how many of these people are legal.
I I agree, but you know, it'll happen eventually, not now.
Start with those people who've already been arrested for being here illegally and sitting in jails throughout the country and get them thrown out of the country.
Thank you, Shannon. But you're right. And I think eventually that might just happen, but All right, Dick.
A leading conservative health policy group is warning that millions of Americans may be improperly enrolled in Obamacare, potentially costing taxpayers as much as twenty five billion dollars a year. He new report the Paragon Health Institute, led by former Trump economic advisor Brian Blazey, Estimated the six point two million people enrolled through Affordable Care Act exchanges in twenty twenty five may not be eligible for the authorized coverage. They've received
That's so good.
That figure represents roughly a quarter of all Obamacare Exchange enrollees. The analysis comes that the Trump administration intensifies efforts to get weight with race waste fraud and abuse in federal programs. Paragon's analysis based on federal enrollment and US Census Bureau data argues that the number of Americans receiving ACA Obama coverage far exceeds the number who appear eligible based on reported income levels.
Obamacare enrollment over the past five years has been inflated by improper and phantom enrollees, and these enrollees are expensive to the taxpayer.
¶ Soaring Job Openings, 2028 Primary
In another story, job openings in the US have soared to seven point six million jobs. This is again the Trump economy, particularly because of the tax cuts that he passed. The number of open jobs in the US jumped to seven point six million in April, while layoffs declined. Evidence of how demand for workers has intensified.
At the end of April there were just over seven point six million open positions, up from about six point nine million at the end of March in one month, according to the Labor Department. The largest number of job vacancies in two years. The manufacturing sector saw openings rise to half a million, up twenty four thousand from the previous month, and a hundred thousand higher than a year ago.
Openings in the economically sensitive professional and business services sector rose from one million to one point seven million. And the federal government saw job vacancies climb from seventy eight thousand to over ninety five thousand. State and federal government vacancies rose from rose slightly, and openings in health care and social assistance climbed by one hundred thousand.
Are the people t taking this job and shoving it? Are they taking the jobs or they're
Well they are taking Things but there's plenty of slack in the economy. Plenty of unemployed people can get jobs.
That's what that's my point. Are people taking them that we gotta look at that number in a couple of weeks?
Now there is a new poll out. You may remember that Trump can't run for reelection.
Yeah.
And this new poll out shows that Vance has a virtual lock on the twenty eighth presidential primary. Vance has forty-seven percent support down from fifty-three in February. But only Marco Rubio, who has eighteen percent reports about who had a three point jump, support shows any kind of political strength. So Vance is now leaving Rubio by forty seven to eighteen.
Yeah, but you got a couple of years, Dex.
You do. But this shows it'll be so hard for Rubier to break that.
Then you got DeSantis. Will no longer be governor in the sunshine state due to
So there have been other polls that have shown the race tighter, but basically it still is no race. It's exactly a walk by man. And with Trump winning the election before Congress overwhelmingly, I think it's only gonna get easier.
I I agree with that. You know, the more he does for the country, Trump, that is, the more whoever he has and that's his vice president, the the the better he's going to do, Vance, without a doubt.
¶ Trump's Crackdown on Federal Fraud
So three cheers for Trump's crackdown on waste and fraud. You wanna take that, Dick? I'll take it. We know that the fraud, erroneous payments, and over and outright theft from federal grant programs are an epidemic. The Trump administration issued the strictest ever proposed rules for hundreds of federal grant making programs, doling out hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Here's some of the favorite clampdowns.
curtail federal grants that are unaligned with presidential executive orders and policy. Two, mandate that evidence of fraud must be provided. Wait, a mandate that evidence of fraud must be provided to the U.S. attorney for DC for DC so the criminals can be prosecuted. Three, prohibit grants that push desperate impact liability theory.
Disparate impact liability theories, discriminatory event services, diversity, equity, exclusion. Wipe out green news scam grant requirements, forbid grants for voter registration campaigns, issue advocacy or political activity. impose requirements on NGOs, not government organizations, to provide their IRS code Qualifications, make identi make agencies identified what type of scientific research they plan to fund. Make guarant grantees subjects.
the for profit rules of a grantee receives ninety percent or more of its funding from grants. These are all steps that have actually taken place. and have reduced federal spending and more importantly, reduced federal employment to the lowest level since the nineteen sixties.
And they're making it hard for f people of fraud. That's what I'm gonna call them. Right. So go forward. Like the the you know, the a lot of people just aren't gonna they're gonna get a different job, you know what I mean, and trying to hack the system because they're gonna get caught. That's part of it. Where you goin', Dick?
Healthcare costs shouldn't declip. the cost of owning a home. But for millions of Americans that's exactly what's happening. The numbers don't lie. The average American family now pays over twelve twenty two hundred dollars a month for health insurance. Surprisingly that's more than the average mortgage payment of two thousand. So the average family is paying more for health insurance than they are for their home mortgage. Unbelievable.
Wow. Let's go to the phone. Let's take Lee in Pennsylvania. Hey Lee in Pennsylvania.
All right.
¶ Hunter Biden Pardon and Healthcare Costs
How are you guys?
Good.
Um I've I've got some questions. Uh really comes from uh a couple of gripes of mine. Um one has to do with Why Seeing any of the corrupt politicians who are like people like Hunter Biden actually serve sentences.
Well Hunter Biden got pardoned by Joe Biden before he left office. And he got pardon not just for stuff that he had done, but stuff that might be found to have done.
Does the party?
He gets a get out of jail free card for the rest of his life.
A question for you. Does that pard mean that you can't even take'em in and
If Hunter Biden murders somebody tomorrow, he's partners.
How could he well I thought you pardoned from past
Not not the Biden pardon. The Biden pardon that he gave his son was for future stuff as well. And you don't see that in part because of the Biden. The one chance we do have is that I think there's a fair chance that James Coma Comey, the uh former head of the uh CIA, is going to be indicted and convicted. But other than that, you're just not seeing it. It they the system is protecting itself.
Wow, that's friggin' horrible. I gotta tell ya. How about David from Elmont, New York? Hey David. Hello David, you there?
Hello? Okay.
Let's go.
I we got him. What's up, Dave? All right, you're out. Sorry about that. Well, uh are we ready to take a break? We're gonna take a break. Um and when we come back we'll uh try to get David on the line. No we're not.

¶ South America's Rightward Shift
Countries in South America have been have holding elections uh this year and uh two countries, one country in particular, has moved sharply from left wing governments to right wing governments.
And I know a couple of guys in this room that have something to do with it. I don't know their names, but one is Dick Morris.
That's Colombia, uh which had a left wing government by a guy named Petro. In fact he uh called on p on troops, American soldiers disregard their orders from the president and to try to assassinate Trump. And he his party just lost the election and uh the and the guy who's likely going to win is Alberto de la Esperiela, uh who got forty three percent of the vote. uh Sapeda Castro, the communist, got forty percent, uh, but De La Sprea is gonna win that.
And he's got a beautiful wife, I mean supermodel looking wife. I had to say that we met him in Miami.
In the last three years, Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, Honduras, Chile, Costa Rica, and now Colombia have moved from the left to the right. Uh it's uh for the seven co seven countries that used to be communist and basically have now returned to free market economy. Yeah.
Um, no. The the effects of Dick Morris are like ninety percent of this because about two years ago, uh, we had uh some things going on in South America. And d I was gonna say wait, Dick called the boss and said, You know, put me on the ground to get people elected and we give me an il liaison between you, me and South America and what and and Trump's like, Ah, I don't really care about that and then all of a sudden he goes, You know what, Dick, I'm gonna do that.
Who do you got? And Dick would call him up and say, Here's a guy. He goes, You like the guy? Okay, I'll endorse whatever. He didn't know he said he would endorse. He never says I'll endorse him. He goes, You like the guy, Dick? And Dick says, Sure, you miss president guys'cause he goes, All right, I'll think about it. And then within a day or two or three, boom. Yeah. But this has everything to do with Dick Morris, South America. And when we go down there, I have to say
Like kings. They loved him. And they want to hate you too. They you're gonna get assassinated.
Depends on what side they're on. Right.
Or you're or you're gonna get a steak dinner. Everything's steak. And they all go out at ten o'clock at night to eat. I go, what are you kidding me? I'm sleeping by ten. All right, go dick. I'm sorry. I had to go there.
¶ Illegal Workers Displace American Youth
The um there's been a real effort to index the capital gains tax for inflation. And this is something that really needs to happen. The capital gains tax in the US goes up and there's no indexing for inflation. Uh it they moan that it'll cost the government too much revenue and increase the deficit. But the fact is that whenever you raise the capital gains tax
and you increase the number of people who have capital gains, you really shrink the deficit enormously. And that obviously is the case now.
I think we should take another call, Dick. What do you think?
Okay.

Thank you for taking my call. Uh I'm going back to something earlier about the American kids. They it's been forty years they've been pushed aside for summer jobs uh when they get home from school from fifteen to nineteen in favor of illegal immigrants. So that's they put in applications And they just put in and put in and these companies, McDonalds, Wendy's, fast food retail contractors
They hire grown illegal immigrants. I happen to know it personally from Long Island. There's over four hundred thousand illegal workers out of the Nassau and Suffolk out of three million population and I bless'em. I love'em. And they need to go after the companies that are hiring these illegals. We have laws against and they do nothing. And I could go fr I've been doing this forty seven years from the Gold Coast Nasdaq all the way to Montauk and I've seen it
Tran over the course I'm a contractor. I've seen in contracting, I've seen it in retail.
You're right. And then on top of that they're raising the minimum wage, which makes it worthwhile for these companies to hire people off the books.
Yeah, but as I'm surprised that you say uh McDonald's and some of the big corporations getting illegal. So there's how that could be tracked pretty easily.
Easily.
I personally know thirty years ago Wendy's illegal worker and she's still there in
Wow, it's unusual. All right. Thanks, Joe. I really appreciate it. We gotta take a a quick break and we'll be back uh quickly.

¶ Cracking Down on Mail-In Ballot Fraud
Welcome back to the Dick Morris and Doug De Piro show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. You know, we are working on stopping ballot fraud. Mm. And one of the big things that goes on is the push for photo ID. But what happens when your vote is mailed in? How can you make sure that it's not fraudulent? How can you make sure that the vote is really a voter?
Well Trump is now demanding changing the rules of the post office, one of the key things that he can control unilaterally. And brilliantly he's now playing defense. Uh proposing sweeping new rules that would require states To submit voter names, addresses, and unique ballot barcodes for federal elections to give the federal government real teeth to verify that mail-in ballots are going to and coming back from actual voters. There's been massive cheating going on.
And we're going to take federal data, we're going to ensure that each state's election officials are provided with a comprehensive view of who is eligible in their jurisdictions. allowing them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections legally able to do so. Trump ordered the post opmaster general in the US Postal Service.
take bold new measures to verify that ballots are being sent to people who are actually eligible to vote, and then that the ballots are being returned or properly returned by eligible voters only. States would be required to submit voter lists tied to unique barcodes on every outbound and return ballot envelope. The post office would compare ballots sent against ballots returned and flag discrepancies for further investigation.
the kind of basis chain of custody tracking that exists for virtually every other sensitive document in America. The administration is not waiting on Congress to act. But Trump directed the post office to build the system through federal rule motivating with a thirty day comment period. Thou be lawsuits, but looks like Trump has finally found a way to really crack down on illegal voting.
But you know, I I have to say About a year ago, maybe a little more, we were getting on a plane, back and forth and back and forth. And I think you didn't have your boarding pass, you dropped, you couldn't find it. And They just did your name and they know oh no, you're good. So they knew you didn't need to pass. Plus, with the scan code, I scanned my thing and I didn't have my th you and I said to the ladies so anyone could get on the plane as me? No.
Once you're on, that's it. So somebody can have the boarding pass, my boarding pass that I lost.
But we don't use anything like that system on mail invo.
That's what I'm saying. They have it and it's that um exact that you know you knock you can't duplicate it.
¶ D-Day Deception Parallel to Trump
How about we go to uh Stu in Brooklyn D Day message. Hey Stu, make it quick'cause we're gonna get off in a second.
All right. Here's the uh the takeout from D Day. Until the Higgins boats hit the beach in Normandy, the Grandmark Titan Command had been convinced by a deception plan that the real uh invasion was gonna be uh Calais.
Right.
Well that's why the uh first SS uh armored division weren't there, which saved thousands of lives. Fast forward. I think Donald Trump is running a brilliant deception plan right now to buy time for whatever people we have bringing weapons over to Iran to make sure we get the right people back into control of the government.
Yeah. Good point, good history.
¶ Chicago Bears Move to Indiana
Hey Dick, I heard uh bears aren't indigenous to Indiana, right?
Right.
I heard there was a slight
Köszönöm szépen! The Chicago Bears will soon have a rather awkward problem. They're the fame one of the world's famous football teams. But increasingly the Chicago Bears are not going to play in Chicago. In fact, they won't even play in Illinois. The franchise announced Friday that it's moving forward with plans to build a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana, just across the state line from Chicago.
The team released a statement from Chairman George H. McCatke, President and CEO Ken Wine, explaining the decision to leave the city and leave the state. Yesterday the Chicago Board of Directors, Chicago Bears Board of Directors met and voted to advance our stadium development project in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact site to be selected. We believe the world class stadium project in Hammond will transform the reality. Welcome connecting northwest Indiana to the south side of Chicago.
The Bears just informed Illinois that they're going to be taking one of the names one of the most recognizable institutions to a red state that can now collect money from multiple NFL franchises. That's the more s that's a more stunning development than usual for Democratic Governor JP Pritzka, the far left Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, and the political leaders who spent years fumbling negotiations to get a deal done s for sports fans and a team that is synonymous with Wendy City.
Got a little something going on with Kristen Welker.
Your elections in this country we're like a third world country. Your elections are crooked and you're crooked. At least the press is crooked. It's four days.
Isn't it doing well again?
In California it's no they're not they're they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election.
Do you have evidence?
All I have to do is look.
Listen, Trump stormed out of that uh press uh conference thing, whatever it was, the interview. Unbelievable. Dick, this guy doesn't take any crap from these
Right.
She went online.
Well isn't that great? The Chicago Bears are no longer Chicago. The Indiana Bear.
No, they gotta still call'em Chicago, just like they call New York Jets and New York uh uh Giants. They can still call'em Chicago.
Yep.
believe that though, with this the interviewer with Donald Trump and w was that an interview or that was a press conference or yeah, that we were told to put that on real fast. But Hey listen, they could still be called Chicago, you know, New Jersey Jets. I hated that. New Jersey I refused to like them after that. If they would have said New Jersey Jets, I would have said, okay, they're my team.
Well, same thing with the Boston Patriots.
Yeah, right.
Became the New England paper. Right. Yeah.
Well that's a little different. Anyway, it was an honor, Dick Morris, and thank you. Let's go. Where are we going for lunch?
