Morrison Doug DePiro show sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group.
Welcome back. What from last week?
One last week. Yeah. Well happy Father's Day, everybody.
Happy Father.
We'll talk about that at some length a little later in the show.
Yeah, on the Rocks is gonna do a thing on Father's Day.
Ask anyone if inflation is getting better or worse and he'll always base his answer on what he just paid for a gallon of death. The details of the consumer price index, much less core CPI, a loss on the average person, but the specificity which he likely recalls gas prices is impressive. It's the one economic statistic we all know and remember.
Everyone agrees that the Iran peace deal is causing gas prices to drop. Indeed the price of a barrel of crude dropped four percent just on the news of the deal. In the next few weeks we will all see gas prices drop. And that nullifies the Democrats' big issue, which is affordability. And it completely puts a dent in that issue. Regardless of the ultimate level of prices, the rapid drop we're all witnessing in gas prices takes away the inflation issue from the midterm.
The effect on Trump's ratings on the economy is sure to be dramatic. Okay, what does that leave the Democrats to talk about? The recent Harvard Harris poll confirms Trump wins majorities on almost every other issue. Take away complaints about his handling of the war in Iran, and Trump wins every issue. The economy is doing well, but not spectacularly. Trump needed a handy answer to overcome the disappointment in the economy.
By going to war, raising the price, and then bringing it down. Trump is like the guy who stopped hitting himself over the head. It feels good when it stops. That sense of well being is likely to be felt well beyond energy prices. It makes a morning again in America believable. MAGA Making America great again is now within reach.
The pledge not to develop nuclear weapons is prominent in the peace deal with Iran just announced, just as it was in the deal Obama negotiated and Trump vilified. So what's the difference? The United States Air Force. with a threat of force always which under underlay US policy toward Iran, the bristling air defenses Iran possessed, and its willingness to use them against the US or Israel always loomed over any peace deal.
But now with the Iranian Navy at the bottom of the sea and its air defenses in ruins, the United States enjoys easy and unfettered access to the sky over Iran. Any Iranian attempt to ignore, violate, foot drag, or obfuscate the peace deal will unleash American bombers and missiles that can fly unmolested to their Iranian target. The last minute US bombing right before the peace deal was particularly threatening to Iran. first of all, Donald Trump attack
in a way most presidents would not. Most will be afraid of oil prices, most will be afraid of instability. Trump wasn't. He said, I'm gonna im bomb particularly to make the point to them that they can't screw around on this deal. He attacked a desalinization plant that Iran desperately needs after five years of drought and very bad water management.
The prospect also looms of US attacks on Iranian power plants, knocking out the electrical grids. These threats are what brought Iran to the negotiating table, and they will be what enforces this deal. Without the threat and easy application of US force, no paper signed by Iran means anything. But Trump's finger on the bombing trigger means everything. Iran will of course violate the deal to test Trump, but if and when he responds with Trump being forced, the deal will be bad.
Over the next couple of weeks we're gonna see off and on, off and on with Iran trying to escape the negotiation, trying to escape the deal.
Absolutely.
Trump bombing when they do.
I don't know if
had no such cudgel to use in holding Iran responsible. There was a real question into the US ability to strike Iran if they need a road. There is obviously none now and this endorsement makes this peace enforcement, makes this peace deal a real one. No need to be sure UN or other international inspectors will have access to Iran's nuclear dust as Trump calls. If Iran screws around, Trump will pull the trigger, and US bombs and missiles will fly again, inflicting unimaginable pain on Iran.
Indeed, in a real sense we all knew what would be and what will be in the peace deal. We just didn't know how prostrated Iraq would be when it was signed. Now we know and it's gonna make all the difference in the world.
I don't think that is gonna be a back and forth if uh if and when or when Iran backs out of this thing or they do their thing. Trump is gonna bomb the crap out of him. He's not gonna bomb'em and say, Okay, let's start over. He it's gonna be over. Maybe, maybe one time. But it's not gonna be three or four times where they stop or they they
Yeah, you're you're probably right. Uh the key thing is that people are asking how is this different from Obama? And different is the United States Air Force. The difference is a willingness to use it, the absence of air defenses by Iranians, and this will keep this deal in effect.
Well and also as you said earlier, he you know, so many presidents didn't want to touch it because of oil and whatever. Remember ISIS when he blew up the oil fields? He asked his people, he said, How do we get rid of this these people? They go, Well yeah, well how about w with money. You get rid of their money, they can't continue. He goes, Let's blow up the oil fields. And everyone said you can't do that, it's gonna destroy
The other thing to remember is that or to look at is that Trump has fundamentally changed the entire process of oil shipments in the world. Right. First of all, he got the UAE, United Arab Emirates. To pull it out of the vote pack. Which is which is huge. Oh my god. Uh they were the second or third leading country in OPEC. Sure. And they were accepting the limitations on production that OPEC imposed to keep the price of oil high.
And by increasing by withdrawing from OPEC and doubling their production, they are sending oil prices very high. And uh and uh They are sending gas prices low and they're really making a change. The UAE doubling its production is going to hold gas prices down. I said it wrongly other
This is basically Saudi Arabia.
No it's it's different from the right.
United and country.
But it's it's slightly larger than Saudi Arabia in terms of its oil export. And by withdrawing from OPEC and increasing his oil production, the UAE is absolutely holding oil prices down and doing an incredible job for the United States. That's one. The second thing is that Oman, which is in the Persian Gulf, the country. Oman.
has been very is now building a new alternative to the Straits of Hormouth, an overland route. And when that's ready, which it will be later this year, we won't need the Strait. Just put it on a truck and go across to Oman. And uh the ability of of of the Iranians to close the straits will become irrelevant. And thirdly.
Trump acted because we were facing a global shortage of oil. The lack of oil coming through the straits for the first time was causing a situation where more oil was being used than was being produced why.
Why is it?
Well because w twenty percent couldn't come into the strike. And the result was that we were facing a global shortage of oil, which would have had a major global recession, depression. He said Trump said he didn't want to be the new River Hoover. And it became clear that those were the stakes. So in bombing Iran. He's alleviated that. uh by forcing over the Straits to be open. And by kidnapping Maduro in Venezuela. He's reopened Venezuela, which is about five percent of the world's oil.
And now it's gonna be producing again, it was at zero. So when you combine the overland route through Oman replacing the straight. The opening of the Straits because of Trump's bombing. And the uh and the tremendous increase in oil production through Venezuela. Trump has averted the global crisis of the of a shortage of oil and he's done it and he's done it at the same time that he's signed this deal.
So Trump not only is has pulled it off, but he's guaranteed he will continue to pull it off, uh, because uh of of his actions.
What could be the worst thing that happens if they go off on the deal and he starts bombing them again? What do you think what's the worst scenario?
They'll close the straights again. Have the same impact that it did. Uh because the b we won't have the same impact that it did because of Oman, because of the UAE, because of Venezuela. And Trump is now prepared for it.
And them not having a military army anymore.
So so I think that that Trump has solved this problem permanently. And it is amazing. We now have for the first time in in years, in maybe decades actually, The world existing without the threat of Iran closing off the oil supply. He's done that by UAE, by uh the Oman p pipeline. by the by Maduro being toppled in Venezuela getting i its oil industry restarted.
And we're now looking at Iran not only leaving the straits open, but losing leverage over the straits. Because the straits don't matter much anymore. And uh Trump has accomplished all of that this year.
You know what I don't feel anymore? I I maybe just because of everything that's gone. You know how we always talk about um The Middle East, they don't care if they die or not'cause they're gonna go to heaven and it's the food Allah and all blah blah blah. Right. The seventy eight little boys. Uh but I don't feel that and I don't feel that I I feel like Iran is really thinking about this as a government and a business and our oil and you know, like I don't feel that thing for some reason
It's a different Iran. We knocked out the entire leadership.
Wait, no, he he's he built a bar and now they're all getting bombed.
Because I got shots, yeah. No, but...
Nobody's laughing at me.
But the point is that we we have completely changed Iran. And whether the leaders who are now negotiating are able to speak for the country, I don't know. Right. And I think that that really we are not under the threat of Iranian oil sanctions. Right. It's amazing what he's accomplished.
Do you even know who's who's leading this country right now?
Some unpronounceable name. Yeah. But we don't know if he's the leader. He will be until he gets assassinated.
That's when we know he's the leader.
Yeah, that's right. If you look at the photos he's not smiling much because he finally has achieved power but he's gonna get his head chopped off.
His head is always turned, you're looking over his shoulder.
Yeah, that's right. But be we when we come back we talk about Father's Day. Uhhuh. Uh the uh when I worked for Clinton. the big issue was celebrating fathers. And uh the big question was would fathers have to pay child support? And uh Trump has now assured that unless you pay child support, you're not going to get a visa.
Ah, are you sure?
And that has changed everything. And on Father's Day for the first time now we know that kids are gonna be okay because the father's actually stepping up and and you know what.
One thing I ha I
is
The mothers that fight with their husbands and then put their kids against their fathers. I think it's a disgusting thing that a woman would do. Number one to her children. Forget about the father. You know, that's a horrible thing for any man to go through that. But if some woman is so insecure with herself and such a a horrible individual to put her to make her children hate her father hate their father
is horrible for the children. And then they grow up with that. So anyone listen to this. If you're mad at your husband, don't put your kids in the middle of this thing, all right? Just yell at them and have a fight with them.
When Pat when Pat Moynihan worked for Kennedy uh w when uh and at the very start of his career, he said the big problem with American ghettos was the absence of foreign
Absolutely.
And that meant that they didn't have the income to produce, to help children. Sure. It meant there was no father figure to discipline them. And that is that absence of fatherhood is the real problem.
Well Johnson helped that too, you know, marry the government, get rid of the husband, marry the government type of thing. Without a doubt. Well, you know, but that's it. Listen, when we come back we'll talk more about this and we're gonna sc go with on the rocks when we get back. She's gonna talk about Father's Day and how you know, where it ha what happened.

Oh I wanna say happy Father's Day to Jack Haney, our friend at Patriot Gold. Listen, we're gonna do on the rocks. Uh Roxana's got something going on with Father's Day. Do you rock?
Hi everybody. Yes. Happy Father's Day.
Uh-huh.
I have a little history about it. Um Father's Day in the United States began nineteen oh nine with a daughter's wish to honor her own father. In nineteen oh nine, Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, was inspired by the growing recognition of Mother's Day only a few years prior, and believed Father's Day deserved appreciation as well. Her own father, William Jackson, and the
Thank you.
Dodd, who was a Civil War veteran, single handedly raised six children in the state of Washington after the passing of his wife. From that spark of devotion, it was woven into history, beginning a tireless journey that would actually stand decades bec before becoming law. For those blessed with a loving father or father figure, this day is an anchor, a tribute to the hands that caught us before we fell. For those whose fathers have crossed into memory, today is a sacred space of remembrance.
For those who experience an absent or complicated distant father, it's a day of melancholy of collective yearning. For many, fatherhood is not marked by DNA at all, but by devotion of stepfathers, uncles, mentors, grandfathers, or those who dedicated both roles in parenting, stepping into the breach. Proven a father is anyone who chooses to shield a child, offering a steady presence that let us know we were never walking alone, the first blueprint of strength, safety and protection.
take sixty two years to become a national holiday. In nineteen seventy two, Richard Nixon did so while campaigning in his second term. Here's a quote in closing from Billy Graham. something you were speaking a little bit about, uh, Dick, a father. One of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society today.
yesterday and always. So happy Father's Day and it did go through quite a few presidents, actually sixty two years before her campaign of Father's Day became a reality.
哇哇哇
Thank you.
When was the rally? Uh seventy two was Nixon? Yeah.
Nixon, right?
nineteen seventy two. However, it went through quite a few presents.
Was so eloquent, Roxanne. I really appreciate that very move.
Thank you.
No right.
It it is though the withdrawal of fathers, the absence of fathers that has completely kindled all social problems we have in the United States. Uh the black community and minor other minorities had hope That the government could take the place of fathers, but they never did.
Right?
Yeah. But they never did. And uh the absence of fathers, the breakdown of the core fundamental family, has been the fundamental social ill in the US. And uh when I worked with Clinton the big thing we worked on was child support enforcement, uh, because uh th that was essential economically. now w child support enforcement is better and Trump has uh now ruled that you can't get a visa unless you're current on your child support. Good. Which is a very, very important statement. But um
It seems to me that we have not dealt with the basic issue which is the absence of fathers. How do you deal with it? Three quarters of all minority children are growing up in fatherless homes.
You can't get a guy, hey, go home and watch your kids or you just had another kid with another woman, you better do what what are you gonna do? You're gonna go F U. Yeah, well like how do you you don't we can't It's gotta be a cultural thing. They listen, listen, growing up Italian in Yonkers.
I remember i in the seventies, right? And then I'm driving around seventy six or seventy seven. I remember my good friends in my neighborhood and I was one of the tough guys in the neighborhood, right? You know, people respected me. If I said don't beat up the Dog, you didn't beat up your dog. I took care of you, right?
But I used to go to my Italian friends with their gold chains and their their wife beater shirts. I go, Come on, we're Italian. You look a little stupid over here. Don't do that with the pinky ring. And I used to actually say it to my you have to police your own.
blacks have to get together in their community and they have to say, Hey, buddy, what are you doing? You got a couple of kids with a couple of b I police mine back then. Everyone's got to police the Irish should say to yell at their friends about going to the bar and and bringing their kids to a bar and the ba Italians should yell at their friends. And that's the way the only way it could happen. Government, no one else is gonna come into a community.
Can I interject?
Am I still on?
Bye.
To to what you just said, Doug, and what you had said, Dick, earlier, uh, with Clinton, the child support is one thing always difficult to carry through. But it is the community and that's why if you remember back maybe it was the eighties, the Big Brother programs where children will gravitate to a neighbor's father, somebody who takes the time to mentor or to guide. That's really what it's about, isn't it?
I remember that. I was asked to do that. I never did it.
Good. Very good. A report from the National Republican Congressional Committee released june ninth shows that Republicans have been steadily gaining voter registration numbers in the Battleground Congressional District. since the twenty four election, with Republicans gaining vote share in nineteen of the twenty-eight swing districts. Democrats meanwhile have lost their n net registered voters in twenty seven of twenty eight swing districts. Wow. Since twenty four.
Compared to the last midterm cycle in twenty two, Republicans have gained nearly five percentage points in respect in registration margin across battleground districts. When looking further at the twenty twenty numbers, every district in the study show saw net Republican growth compared to Democratic growth. with a net of seven hundred and thirty seven thousand new Republican voters across the swing districts over the past six years.
The report showed the largest ships occurred in battleground states. played a pivotal role in the election of twenty twenty four, the largest ships being in Iowa, Florida, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Maine. As we look to the elections of twenty twenty six coming up later this year. The key thing that we have to look at is that there has been a huge change in the registration in these swing districts. More and more people are voting Republicans.
And when you combine that with the population shifts of people moving out of California and out of out of uh New York, uh, you see the potential for tremendous growth by the Republicans.
It's almost sounds too good to be true. You know, it really I mean that's credible poll, right? Yeah.
Absolutely. And and and it it the news media likes to talk about the midterm elections like it's a niffy thing. And will we win Congress? Will we win the House? Damn right we will, because if the a fundamental shift They're going on under the surface here.
And the one thing that was gonna hamper this a little bit was the Iran thing and it looks like that might be off the table for a while. Uh
You know? Well, not just off the table. People see that the price is down and people see that that other prices are also down, that inflation is not the issue that it was. Inflation is dropping. Uh you cars are dropping, other costs are dropping, and I think that the economy is in the shape that Trump wants it to be to be able to win the midterms.
So the people that hate Trump have to find another thing to hate him about.
Well, they're increasingly finding that they can't do it because there is no That's it. They have to say I can't stand the guy. Trump derangement syndrome.
I don't like his hair. Whatever.
How would the Save Act affect mail in voting? The SAVE Act, which is now pending in the Senate, which Trump is pushing hard, will not override state and mail-in voting rules or fulfill Trump's wish to ban practice altogether. But it wouldn't make voting by mail harder. That's because the bill's new proof of citizenship rules would apply to voters who register to vote by mail.
Anyone requesting an absentee ballot for some w with some fundamental exceptions would still have to go in person to a local elections office to present their passport or birth certificate for their registration to be valid. Right now only eight states require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration.
Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming expanding the standards native nationwide would prevent non citizens from voting.
So now President Trump's latest push to pair the sa uh to pair the Safe Act with legislation reviving the federal government's warrantless spying powers is dividing House Republicans. With some arguing the gambit is doomed to fail. Trump has repeatedly said that he will not support renewing Section seven hundred oh two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Pfizer.
Which allows the government to spy on foreigners abroad without a warrant unless the GOP backed voting requirements bills is also attached to that. The Save America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Oh really, a little common sense right there. And the presentation of a photo ID to cast a ballot.
Trump has framed the effort as a part of a broader push on election security as the twenty-six midterms ramp up. The push for the Save Act America has split Republicans in the Senate. Some see it as a pr uh as a priority while others acknowledge it doesn't have the votes to pass and view the continued focus on the measure as a distraction.
Now some Republicans in the House which passed the Save America Act earlier this year are also warning that tying the two measures together would only complicate effort. to renew the crucial spy tool. We need to get this Pfizer reauthorized. It's a it's absolutely unacceptable that it was allowed to lapse. This program is critical to our intelligent
collection and national security. And you know when it comes to national security, safety of the American people, we need to put partisan as partisanship aside, said Kelvin Kelly.
Yeah, well that's great, but you're not gonna pass the Save Act unless you get unless you break the filibuster. And uh McConnell and uh Mikowski Yeah. With their votes you can't pass it. Uh you can't break a filibuster. And uh I believe that Trump is right for holding it hostage. Trump is right for holding everything hostage. Until we are able to assure free elections and honest elections, what we have.
And I passing seven oh two, the Pfizer Act and all that is minor compared to the need to stop this phony voting that's taken over so much of the country.
You see this the Democrats with the sabotage, they put a a guy in Alaska What's his uh Dan Sullivan? They put another Dan Sullivan in. Republicans in Alaska filed a complaint to the Alaska Division of Elections over a candidate linked to Democrats suddenly entered into a tight US Senate race. In a complaint filed by them, Senator Committee, it was revealed the long-shot candidate entering the race
she had the same name as Republican Senator Dan S. Sullivan. What's his name? Dan Sullivan. Republicans were concerned that the candidate name Dan J. Sullivan Which is if we take the J and put it upside down, it's almost like an F. Right. Then J Sullivan What confute voters who intended to vote for Dan S. Oh, I thought it was F, Dan S Sullivan. Now an election official in Atlanta has stopped the Democrats in Alaska from possibly stealing the Senate seat.
A top Alaskan election official booted a same name Republican challenger Dan Sullivan of Alaska from the primary ballot Monday, ruling the campaign appeared designed to conf pew confuse the voters. Divisions of Elections Director Carol Beecher disqualified Sullivan the the the the phony Sullivan from the state's hotly contested Senate race over concern that his canasy
candidacy was filed with the purpose to confuse and mislead. Dan J. Sullivan, wait, is that the vr a retired school teacher? I don't know who's who. Dan J. Sullivan, a retired school teacher who filed as a Republican Senate candidate, despite oh yeah, he's the fake one, despite having no prior affiliation with the GOP, can appeal the ruling. This is unbelievable. The letter caps weeks of outrage from the GOP who argue the political newcomers
entry into the race just days before the filing deadline was a covert attempt by Democrats to recruit a sham. Under Alaska's ranked choice voting system, if Dan J. Sullivan at
Is that
Bad we gotta call him bad Sullivan had been allowed to remain on the August primary ballot. Both he and bad good Sullivan were The voter incumbent would have advanced the general election among the top four buttons. Yeah.
I had that happen to me, happened to a candidate in nineteen seventy eight. I was working for Bob Casey. Sure. Who before it became a uh when he was still a Democrat. Always been a Democrat. And he was the Auditor General of Pennsylvania and he was running for governor of Casey. Yeah. And he was running in the primary for governor. And uh his opponent was a Democrat g running for governor. And he the Democrat put a guy named Robert Casey on the ballot.
to try to confuse the voters. And he succeeded. And my candidate lost. And when you looked at the analysis, every district where Casey the b the wrong Casey got votes, the right Casey lost. Uh so this is a tactic that had been going on for a while and I'm very glad that the Republicans were alert alert enough to catch it.
They're just so foolish. I mean, the Democrats are just such
Idiot.
a little baby. Oh, let's try this. Like did they ever think? It's almost like remember when Obama said, um, You wanna save gas, put air in your tires. It's almost like and I could see the the the the person in the meeting saying, Oh by the way, my father's a mechanic and he said if you put air in your tires, you'll get better guess but and they all went, wow, that's great. And all the little idiots that know nothing about anything, you know what I mean? Oh that's
Say that. They put it in the speech. But I think we could take a break now, don't you?
Okay.
All right, let's take a break. And when we get back the real time, we'll get back.

Nick Moore's show. That means here's Dick Morris on.
🎵 Music
Back to the Dick Morris and Doug Japara show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. You know, it's hard to keep track of oil prices, they're crashing. Uh oil prices fell sharply on Sunday after Trump announced that the US and Iran had signed a peace deal. Brent crude, the international benchmark fell by about four percent in one day to below eighty four dollars a barrel. I think it's now down to in the seventies, the lowest price since March fifth.
With the opening of the strait, the signing of the deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the region, for the world, Trump said Sunday night. Stock features tied to US equity markets climbed on the news. The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete, Trump wrote in earlier Truth Social Post.
Congratulations to all. I hereby authorized the toll-free opening of the Straits of Ormoose and simultaneously herewith authorized the immediate removal of the U.S. Naval blockade. Ships of the world start your engines, let the oil flow. But beyond that, as I said, he has taken crucial steps to eliminate the leverage that Iran presents. By threatening to close the street.
Pretty much it.
by having Oman build a land route, by doubling the UAA oil production, and by opening Venezuela which had been doing five million barrels a day. There are a hundred million barrels of oil in the world consumes every day. One hundred million. Keep that in mind. Wow. So expanding to UAE's oil drilling by five million barrels is a five percent increase. Opening Venezuela is a five percent more and the Straits of Romeo's are twenty.
Wow.
And uh and that's what's happening. And the result is the price of oil is dropping and uh the price of gas is gonna be
Now I don't know if we know enough about this yet, but is this a corridor Oman is doing like a rail and they're gonna offload the oil like we were looking at at a couple of different
Exactly.
Is that what that's going to be? Exactly. Uhhuh. Well I guess more to to see where where where that's gonna go. Wow, it's amazing. Democrat run cities become graveyards of civilization. The flag is being lowered in blue cities across the country. California's political establish establishment managed to keep common sense conservative. Spencer Pratt off the November ballot for mayor of Los Angeles.
It was terrified. It was terrified of voters having a real choice. Now it would be a business as usual, socialist versus an uber socialist. mister Pratt has a way of asking uncomfortable questions about homelessness The Palisades Fire and other scandals, the powers that be want to sweep under the rug. Los Angeles has the largest homeless population in the nation. It grew by ten percent in twenty three.
The city spends an estimate uh estimated one point three billion dollars annually to make the homeless comfortable and keep them on the streets and keep them on the streets, Mr. Price. Listen, if you're gonna spend one point three billion, can't you buy'em all like a little apartment for w for a billion dollars, right? How many homeless are there? You know, a couple of thousand? You could
No, no, no. In LA the in LA there's something like uh Like um
Tens of thousands?
Yeah, hundreds of thousands Well, LA's population is about three million or two million and about t so about two hundred thousand homeless.
Ah, even still a billion dollars would be fine, right? Mr. Pratt has rightfully asked why mothers taking their children to the park should see homeless men defecating and masturbating in the street. The 2025 Palisades fire raised more awkward questions. City fire hydrants were dry. You know, that little fish. You can't hurt that little fish that they were worried about, right? Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass, the bass fish.
Uh Los Angeles man Karen Best, who was on a junk at Tugana when the blaze broke out, cut the fire department's budget to pay for her favorite diversity, equity and inclusion program. Uh DEI. You know what Charlie Kirk said. DEI stands for didn't earn it. In November, voters probably will reward her with second term. Instead of rats leaving.
Just to be sure they've knocked the a real opponent off the bat
Oh yeah, right. That w I'm about to read that, aren't I? Um instead of rats leaving the sinker ship, the rats are staying behind while the people go overboard. More than fifty four thousand residents of Los Angeles County, among them, the best and brightest left in one twelve month period. Miss Bass has a head start on New York City. Mayor Moron Mankami, who has been in office only since January first, but the Kim Jong-un of North Korea on the Hudson
Ha ha ha.
It's making a val valiant effort to catch up. That's pretty good. New York City's budget for population of eight point five million is more than that of the entire state of Florida, with twenty three point five million residents. It's still not enough to pay for the grand vision of his of the elite, Mr. Mandani is working on a scheme to build 200,000 public housing units and confiscate some existing private units.
m units, which he calls transferring the ownership of neglected buildings to public trust, tenants and soviets. What Soviets?
Yeah.
New York and Los Angeles are not alone. When told business was fleeing the city's sky high taxes, Seattle socialist mayor Katie Wilson responded with a contemptuous bye-bye. Democrats have made cities unlivable. This result in the fleeing of residents who do not want to live with squalor, corruption, and substandard services, which in turn result
in an increasingly democratic electorate. That electorate is what makes the uh ascension of Cameron Bass and Zoran the moron possible. It's unbelievable. It's common sense.
But I've noticed in the last couple of months since Mencami took over
Sounds funny, Coke.
than I thought would happen in New York. There has not been the kind of collapse that I thought would happen in New York. And
Well first of all he's not doing the free bus and the and the grocery stores. So that's why nothing's
Stuff he's doing that's gonna cause the collapse is gonna cause it in a couple of years. First of all he's confiscating housing from landlords and giving it to the city.
Is he actually doing that yet?
Well it's dying.
Yeah.
And that's gonna be uh that'll take a longer term. And I think that that ultimately menkami is not it's not happening immediately. It's gonna happen a little bit.
Because of him not doing the free bus. Yeah. The free grocery store and
A free grocery store he is, but he has it out of the way and he's not replacing existing grocery stores. He's just doing a new one. And he's been fairly restrained in what he's doing. And I think that that has given socialism a better name.
Oh God. Giving socialism a better name. We're gonna take a break and we're gonna come back to the democratic socialists of America.

It's means here's Dick Morris.

Welcome back to the Dick Morris and Doug DePiro Show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. I've always said that when the Democrats lose the national election, they move to the left. And they don't move to the center. I thought they would move to the center, but then when I worked for Clinton, it was apparent that they were just moving to the left. And I was able to stop Stephanopoulos and Icky's and others from stopping
Step in the lap of it.
But now there's no one to stop And I think the growth of the socialist movement in the Democratic Party is the best thing that could happen to this country. For us. Because it will elect Republicans. And increasingly will make the Democratic Party and the Socialist Party uh completely one and uh be very good.
They'll never get elected back in. The Democratic Socialists of America have spent years building influence inside the Democratic Party, recruiting candidates, building campaign infrastructure, and embedding operatives inside races stretching far beyond the the deep blue urban enclave where the m movement first gained traction. Now after a fresh wave of primary victories in twenty six races across the country Moron Mancami's high profile rise in New York politics.
The DSA, the Democratic Socialist of America, aligned candidates and organizers are becoming increasingly difficult for Democrats to ignore, as you just said. Mindami's victory last year gave the DSA one of the biggest governing footholds yet and accelerated the expansion of a progressive political infrastructure into congressional state and local races. This is a horrible thing that happened, right? The DSA's own elect election tracker underscores that growth.
Growth.
According to figures published by the organization Team D S
Yeah.
Candidates were involved in a hundred and thirty three races this cycle, with fourteen wins already secured, ninety one candidates still running and twenty seven losses. recorded so far. That's a lot of wins, Dick.
It is great, they're primaries. They'll lose the general.
Yeah.
I don't care how many wind prime, right?
Oh, that's true.
Go ahead.
I was looking at a different picture, like oh my god. Oh, I like it. They're not a fringe group anymore, said uh some guy, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and longtime Democratic analyst. Their influence is far more than people would have guessed it would have been just several years ago. The organization's rise, which accelerated after Bernie Sanders
this campaign and Republican AOC upset the 2018 victory. Other DSA backed or DSA aligned candidates who advanced or claim victories in state and local races this year, included candidates in Georgia, Oregon, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina and Vermont, reflecting the organization's continued vocus.
Focus.
on building influence beyond Congress and into m municipal legislation. You're right. You know, well as I'm reading it, I'm thinking, oh, this is horrible. I can't believe this. And then
Maybe that's great. Go on, guys. Hello. Control'em all. Yeah.
Let's go.
And I think the I think that as the Democratic Party becomes identified with socialism in the United It becomes almost impossible for them to win.
In other words, there would have to be like major coup in their party for this to to stop.
Well defeat. We'll beat'em in uh twenty eight, we'll beat'em in twenty six. We'll beat'em in thirty and thirty two. And after they lose a whole lot of elections, maybe they'll get over the socialist BS that they're now pushing. Yeah, but
I I just don't see it. Wow. Wow, it's really amazing. I love it.
GOP Congression leaders will not attach Save America legislation to legislature reauthorizing the Pfizer authority. Thoon said Monday that it's not realistic to link the two unrelated issues as Republicans work quickly to expand sec to renew Section seven hundred oh two of the Foreign Surveillance Act. I certainly would hope that we can get Fizer off the floor and fine sign it. It's that important, Thune said. So this is a fundamental difference between Thune and Trump.
Trump is saying you have got to pass the Save Act. You gotta stop America from being taken over by phony voting. Sure. Between the mail in voting and the phony voting. You see what's happening like in Los Angeles where Uh, Pratt won and he was denied a ballot because of homeless signed up on the street.
Right, right.
Gym membership is enough of proof of citizenship and you can't let that continue. And Trump is saying we're not passing anything, anything until the SAVE Act passes. And it should. And uh Thune is saying, No, no, we have to pass this. very important for national security. Yeah, it is. But far more important for national security is the SAVE Act, is making sure America is run constitutionally.
Mike Johnson said on a Fox News interview Sunday that reauthorizing Pfizer requires sixty votes in the Democrats. I he hoped the Democrats will put their shenanigans aside. The point is that the that we can't rely on them to do that and we've got to have the Republicans step aside, let the Save Act pass, give it the votes necessary to do it through reconciliation. Screw the filibuster and then pass seven oh two if you want.
But we could live without seven oh two as long as our elections are honest in the United States. Right.
Alright, okay, when we get back after the hour, then we'll have a little more on this.

Welcome back to I'm Tick Morris and Doug DePiro show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. We've got on the phone Jonathan de Barros, who I'm supporting in Kin in Connecticut, in the fifth district, I think, who is running in the Democratic primary. When will that be Democratic?
Hi Jonathan.
Hey, how you doing? Good afternoon, Dex.
When when is the primary?
The primary is August. I'm in the Republican prime.
What day?
August 11th.
August eleventh. Okay. The uh Jonathan's running in the Democratic Pri in the Republican primary, Republican primary for Congress in the fifth district. And uh I wrote a letter supporting him and he's been kind enough to circulate it. Because I think it is first of all I think he's a great candidate. He grew up in the streets of Waterbury. He's not an elitist
He's not from the country club parts of the district where I live in Reading. He's in fact a real street person with a real capacity to fight for the university vote. But the reason that I think his race is particularly important is because the US Supreme Court has now ruled that it is illegal to have districts based on race.
And you can't draw district lines to encourage black uh congressmen. And as a result there are going to be very few black congressmen elected in twenty six and fewer in twenty eight and thirty. uh because they will no longer be able to come from racist d d segregated districts. Now
That's in democratic.
Yeah.
Place.
And Jonathan Tabaras reminds us that there are black Republicans too. And that you can get black congressmen who are truly representative of America moving forward without gerrymandering the lines. And that's why I really support Jonathan and I hope he wins his primary. Welcome to the show.
Who are you going against in the primary, Jonathan? This is Doug.
Uh, how you doing, Doc? Um Christopher Say. Christopher Say is a Navy SEAL who the establishment um picked to go against me. He came he came up from Alexander.
in Virginia.
Um they moved him up here. Um I think he got back up here about two thousand twenty four. Um he he served in our service um for about thirty years and he's been away from Connecticut for a long period of time. He's out of touch. He doesn't know the district. He's not gonna go into the cities.
and he's not going to get anything done that needs to be done in order to actually win this district. I was campaigning in the city of Danbury, um, a about a couple of weeks ago at the street festival. I was chasing around one of our communists um senators, um Julie Kushner um telling her that she's a racist because of her policies of dumping these illegals inside the black communities and taking away
Yeah.
Um resources that were allocated for American taxpayers. Um I told her right to her face who she is because she she wants to play this race bait and propaganda is not gonna work with me because I'm from those communities.
Right.
And you know, and and I and also, you know, I'm endorsed by um several Republican town committees that are in the rural areas. Um, you know, like Kent Uh Plymouth, the town of Plymouth. I was just recently endorsed by Bell Academy, the School of Cosmetology by Michael Cervolino. He owns he owns um six locations.
But the point is we don't want a carpet bagger. who uh i as admirable as the service was to this country, who gets imported here from Virginia to run. Uh we need a local homegrown candidate who understands the problems we face. but approaches them from a Republican point of view, who's not going to use the Democratic's welfare state to subsidize the seat. And uh I think that Jonathan de Barros is exactly the kind of candidate we need.
Absolutely. America first policy. We gotta get people back to work. I wanna I wanna create a federal funded job training program to get everybody that's on government subsidized um living to go get back to work. That's the s it is supposed to be a safety net, not a lifestyle.
Today is Father's Day. Talk to us about single parent households and what you can do about that.
Oh, that's another problem I got with John A. She's promoting Gay Pride Month, but yes, she's not promoting healthy, strong Of two-parent households. You know, it's a known fact that 93% of the kids that grow up in single-parent homes are likely to go to prison.
Wow. Ninety three.
Yeah. From the school to prison pipeline. So we yeah, so we have to we have to encourage two parent household. We have to encourage uh encourage strong fatherhood relationships. See if the Marxist agenda was always to destroy the fan. And they targeted the black family first now they're going after everybody else. With that feminist movement promoting oh, I don't need a man, but yet they got black women dependent on Uncle Sam, that was all a plan to destroy the the household.
Married a government.
Marry the government. So if you got these kids growing up in a single parent household and and and the mom, you know, is married to the government and they don't have no father instilling discipline and structure and responsibility, they're gonna go down the wrong
But Jonathan, I I I said this earlier on the show. I think People in the community have to police their own community. You know, it's really hard for a government to come in and say, You have to w look out for your children.
Yeah.
Like how do you how do you do that?
that. Well one of the ways you do is by electing a guy like Jonathan DeBarris who talks about this problem frankly. Right. And says that the issue is we cannot raise kids in one fam one parent household. 'Cause there's not enough income, there's no love, there's no support. And we can't let that continue.
And he's a black man that can stand up with strength and talk to the community and say, Look at me, I'm in Congress. Look what I've done. So that's it, right, Jonathan?
Absolutely. Absolutely. And from a historical standpoint, I mean we've done it before. I just w I went to Washington D C back in February and walked through Frederick Douglass's seven bedroom mansion.
And I'm like, this man was was a black man who fought and got his own freedom. He was traveling around the world when black people were still in slavery and he was the advisor of five United States sitting presidents. When he died in eighteen ninety five, he was worth three hundred thousand dollars.
Wow. I just walk.
So at home in your in your district we have Garrett Franks who was a Republican congressman for two terms, I think. And uh they used to have meetings of the Black Caucus in Congress. and there were forty Democrats and one Republican. And he was the Republican. Wow. And when he lost, we lost the only representative we had.
uh who is a black Republican. Now we have a chance for another in Jonathan de Barros in the same district, and we Republicans should jump on that. We should go to the primary and vote for Jonathan de Barros. So he's our candidate in November and he'll win in November. We'll get that seat.
John, what what kind of feedback are you getting when you go out? I'm just curious th what the people are saying.
Man, they the peop the people love me. I'm talking about even black democrats, black women at that. They love me because the w what I'm doing is I'm addressing the obvious, right? We see all the illegals in our community and I'm letting'em know Johanna Hayes voted against HR two, which would have secured our southern border in twenty twenty three. to keep our borders open and they dumped all those illegals in our communities. When they when Governor Abbott
Scientists was forced to ship those illegals up north. If they sent them to Marcus Vineyard, what did they do? Those white liberal Democrats put those people on those planes and buses the same week and got them out.
The next day. Unbelievable. Not my backing.
Gentlemen, I love having ya on and let's have you on once again before the primary. But everybody remember, particularly Republicans, go to the polls in the primary on August. and vote for Jonathan DeBarris. It's very important that we have a conservative, Reagan, Trump black man representing this district in Congress.
And he will make a difference. He'll go to the community and make a difference. And this is what we need. Thank you, Jonathan. It was great. Thank you. Oh, uh give us a website or something that people can go on for you.
So it's the yep, it's the barrels for congress.org. And my last name is D as in David, E as in Everett, B as in Boyd, A R R O S F O R Congress dot org.
The Barrows for Congress dot org
Good. Okay, Jenny. We'll see you again before the primary.
Okay.
Take care. God bless you.
Bye.
President Trump sought to cancel Wednesday's confirmation hearing for Jay Clayton to be director of national intelligence. But Senate leaders say they'll proceed this afternoon as planned, unless the president directs Clayton not to appear or withdraws his nomination. Senator Republicans' move makes clear that they disagree with Trump's decision to delay Clayton's confirmation to ensure his embattled temporary pick, William J. Pluty, will start the job as planned.
This is another of these uh steps where Trump is trying to tie up the Senate. Stop them from moving on Pfizer, stop them from moving on the D and I confirmation until they pass the V absolutely essential.
Stay back.
He can't put keep putting other stuff before it. And he has got to bring pressure on these four recalcitrant horrible Republicans. One of whom is retiring, Tom Tillis. One of whom was beaten. One of whom is retiring, Mitch McConnell. Uh and the and Lisa Mikowski and uh Susan Collins. And we have got to have these people permitting a filibuster to continue. But we don't need them. John Thune can do it by himself.
And we've got to put pressure on this majority leader to actually lead the majority and be sure that we uh are able to move ahead with the Save Act.
I can't imagine the the conversation Trump has with this guy.
Soon. Well, I think we're gonna see progress in that.
Because of that.
Now, it isn't just in the US that rich people are leaving the high tax areas. They're moving throughout the world. The two big c countries around the world are experiencing huge out migration of wealthy people. The UAE and the United States are the two countries that have gained the greatest number of millionaires in the last five years. And Britain, China and India have lost the greatest number.
Britain has lost seventeen thousand millionaires. The United States has gained eight thousand millionaires. And uh I'm sorry, thousand I don't mean thousand, I mean millions. And the last year France, Germany and Spain were listed for the first time among the countries which were exporting more wealthy inhabitants than were they attracting. Britain lost a stunning sixteen thousand five hundred millionaires.
The US, on the other hand, saw an influx of seventy five hundred millionaires is now home to more than a third of the world's people who are worth more than thirty million dollars.
Wait, we are we have more than a third of millionaires.
Worth.
Thirty million.
And just to make sure that this trend continues, the uh California has now put on the ballot a wealth tax, a billionaire tax.
Yeah, we have a story.
should be a five percent one time tax. one time they'll keep repeating it, of net worth of anyone earning over a billion. Now it's a billion, soon it'll be in the millions, soon it'll be affecting all of us.
Oh my god.
This idea of not taxing income but taxing wealth. is gaining priority all over the country and all over the world.
Priority or gaining.
gain traction and we have to stop it. We cannot let the tax system tax wealth. It has to tax income. Can't tax the past, has to tax the present and the current and the future.
It's unbelievable. The money they're just gonna they just wanna grab your money. No, we have to take a break.
Now before we do the break, talk about this plot at the cage fight.
Oh my God. A group of people made detailed plans to attack last Sunday the UFC cage fighting match on the White House lawn using drones and snipers. But the plot was uncovered'cause a a concerned mother called. Federal prosecutors charged at least five people in connection with this. plot in which the group hoped to detonate explosive laden drones over the White House, causing the
crowd to run, scramble, and then shoot at the crowd with snipers. This is horrible. The federal uh the FBI learned about this plot. on June tenth, four days before the martial arts thing, President Trump's eightieth birthday and was part of a celebration marking America's two hundred and fifty year anniversary. Trump and the White House have portrayed the event as emblematic
of the country's rugged spirit. Thousands of people were in attendance, including top administration people. Director, FBI director Cash Patel, who was at the UFC Uh cage fight touted the arrest as a feat of strength by law enforcement officials who learned of the plot after the mother of one of them called all about it. On Thursday, law enforcement searched.
This guy Proper, that was the guy kid's name with the mother that called him up, searched Proper's house in Ohio during an interview that day. Proper admitted to planning a coordinated attack during the UFC event, according to the document.
That's great.
And then we're going to be able to do that
said his goal was to jump start a revolution in the United
Could you imagine you do this with the drones, then people run out and you have snipers, you got a couple of people with rifles? I mean, what the frig is going on here, man? Wow, where's his father? Right? All right, we have to take a break and uh we come back, we'll yell at this kid a little more.
🎵 Music
Make more a show. What that means. Here's Dick Morris.
🎵 Music
Welcome back to the Dick Morris and Doug DePiro show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. you know, received very little attention, but there is a bipartisan both parties agreed and passed the Congress, a housing bill that I think will make a significant dent in the homelessness population in the US. The House and the Senate reached an agreement to pass bipartisan legislation designed to boost the housing supply with help and affordability.
This change this requires the changes in the building codes throughout the country. So it's easier to build a home. For example, one of the requirements that a lot of these codes have is you have to have two stairways. That's from the days when you needed two stairways'cause of fire. Now you don't really. So they're changing it to one stairway which cuts millions from the cost of development.
uh there are all sorts of land use regulations that are standing in the way of effective housing construction and this removes them. It aims at increasing the s housing supply by easing federal regulations and encouraging states and cities to reform their land use rules. But also includes controvers and it also bans large scale investors from buying masses of single family homes.
This is going on right now where because of the changes in federal fiscal policy, large developers are purchasing huge blocks of single family homes. and then renting them, but driving up the price to a point where people can't afford'em. And uh it's causing a huge housing shortage throughout the country and this will prohibit that.
Doesn't sound very smart, a guy buying ten houses and jacking up the rent. And then jacking up the rent and then people can't afford to rent
And they went to two high income people. Oh right. And they deny housing to the average person.
Got it, got it.
At the same time, a one time wealth tax on billionaires living in Florida has qualified to be on the ballot in California. The measure called the Billionaire Tax Act received the next signatures and will be certified to be included on the midterm ballot. If approved, the measure championed by Bernie Sanders would impose a five percent tax an allocating of the revenues for health care and other programs. the the the whole goal here is to tax billionaires.
But the real change here is that they're taxing wealth, they're not taxing income. They're taxing the accumulated assets of a lifetime. And they're not taxing income. And that is unconstitutional. It should be thrown up by the court and I hope that if it passes California it'll increase the number of Californians who leave.
Unbelievable. So unbelievable. The DOJ seeks to block reparations to black people whose ancestors suffered housing discrimination.
Mm.
The Justice Department is suing Eveston, Illinois, to stop a first of its kind reparations program that has distributed more than five million dollars to black residents who said They were hurt by housing discrimination. Evanston, a northern suburb of Chicago, has identified and begun paying roughly six hundred black residents У say ве осестр своє вітим.
the the city's discriminatory zoning ordinance from nineteen ninety nineteen nineteen until nineteen sixty nine. Proponents of the landmark program hope to extend reparation programs such as one of the Everstons to other cities across the United States where they say the the vestige of slavery and discrimination have resulted in a wealth gap and other residue harm to black Americans.
This is an effort to promote the whole idea of reparations. And the idea of reparations has been largely tied to the fact of slavery. But what they're doing is they're trying to tie it to discrimination in the twentieth century so that they can try to make it reason. The Justice Department is saying that you can't do that. Uh they said that a that you can't have a program basically for black people and a roke rogue racist program.
Judicial watch president Tom Fenton said reparations initiatives elsewhere in the country are on hold as proponents of the payouts wait to see whether the court delivers a technical knockout blow to reparations. The Justice Department argues that providing money to residents solely on the basis of race violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Fair Housing Act. There are sound ways for a city to remedy past discrimination of direct resources.
two of his most vulnerable citizens in the neighborhood. As Assistant Attorney General Hammatt Dillon, who I love, who heads the Justice Department Civil Rights Bureau said. Simply handing out money based on race, however, is not the answer. It's race discrimination, pure and simple, and it's illegal.
Listen, they want to give money to people that were not slaves. take the money from people that never had slaves, right? And so where are we going with this?
Well but what is going on now is this maneuver which is to say oh this isn't about slavery. This is about this is reparation for discrimination from nineteen nineteen to nineteen seventy
Right. Okay, so I'm gonna break right there. Here you go. Uh you're born in two thousand, two thousand two. Now you're twenty six years old, whatever. What does any of that have to do with whether you got a job, whether your f mother and father helped you to go to college, or what does that have to do with anything? There's nobody that's born after nineteen seventy.
It's nineteen nineteen nineteen to nineteen six.
So after seventy.
Yeah.
I don't care who you are. You listen, I struggled all my life to make a living. I was not poor, but I was pretty close to poor all my life. I got cars and motorcycle. I've been building stuff. Nobody gave me anything. There was no white privilege thing happening on my end. Or if there was, I missed that boat. Oh, I missed when they were giving out that card on the corner. I must have been smoking pot in the high school is I don't know. But seriously.
Somebody that's born twenty years ago, thirty years ago, forty years ago has nothing to do with what happened a hundred years ago. You wake up, you get a job, you go do what you gotta do, and that's
This this Evanson case is very important because it's the first time that they have actually passed reparations, but instead of going back to slavery they're going back to housing discrimination that ended in nineteen sixty nine. And in doing that they're attempting to get this reparations idea approved. And that's what the Justice Department is intervening about.
American consumers continue to expand their spending at a broad array of national outlets in May, largely unreterred by rising gas prices.
Retail sales jumped almost ten percent in May. The Department of Commerce
Almost one percent point nine.
Oh I'm sorry.
Consumers increase their spending despite surveys suggesting distress. A big driver of the increase came from higher gas prices at gas stations. Excluding gas stations, sales rose seven tenths of one percent and were up three point seven percent from a year ago. Eleven of the thirteen categories tracked by Commerce showed monthly increase. Motor vehicle sales jumped one point two percent, the biggest rise is nearly a year. Compared to a year ago, sales were up four point four percent.
Sales rose by a strong one percent at furniture stores. The retail sector has struggled amid a weak market for home sales. Real estate sales after adjusting for inflation likely grew by even more because the consumer price index for furniture fell.
No.
Sales were also up at clothing stores, general merchandise stores, health and personal care stores. Sales at online retailers jumped 1.5%. Sales at a category that includes sporting goods, bookstores, and hobby stores rose three tenths of one percent. So even d when the gas prices were high, y when this story was written and these survey was done. American consumers are overcoming that and really moving the economy along.
Well, you know, you know, you have what you call consumer competence, right? You n you have to know we all kind of felt that We gotta get rid of Iran's nuclear bombs and that's what he's doing. So gas prices were gonna go up. As as we said quite a few times, it's worth a couple of dollars here and there for a couple of months. And people kinda know that and feel that. Now this is a great story. Harvard students are twice as mentally ill as general population. Listen to this.
The Ivy League is having a mental health crisis. I sh I shouldn't laugh, but I am. I'm laughing at this. Forty-seven percent of surveyed seniors indicated that It they experienced mental illness at some point in their time at Harvard, and thirteen percent said they were unsure according to a survey and the class of twenty twenty six conducted. US population was
Stay with that for a minute. Forty seven percent of seniors at Harvard said that they have experienced mental health crises during their time at Harvard. Forty seven percent. That's more than double the general regulation.
That's why. Because there are a bunch of little I can't say it. Little babies and they got the the administration said, Oh, you need a safe room and you need to say so everyone says, I got a mental health problem. When you're growing up, your friends go to shut the frig up and get over there. You know, he might have a couple of kids.
Princeton, a senior survey.
You better have the beep button ready for me.
by the Princetonian magazine found that sixty percent had mental health counseling or other therapy during college.
That's why.
With thirty six percent getting help from the university's counseling services and twenty four percent finding outside assistance.
Listen, they're enabling this mental illness thing, just like anything in the world. Just walk it off and shut up. I'm sure there's maybe 10% that really need help. And there is a problem with some kids and some people. I get it, but not sixty percent. I don't think so.
Yeah, but you're missing the basic point there'cause they're nuts. They're crazy. And if you see their if you see their political opinions, you understand it.
That's exact that's my
So when there's a sit in when the Yale or Prince student body or Harvard student body complains about some racial inequity or some action of Trump or the Trump derangement syndrome. These guys are sick. Oh they are mentally ill.
You know, I knew someone that used to do interviews or maybe still does, I don't know. And she told me that Kid came in 20 years old or 23 years old out of college, right? Came into it was a business. I don't know if it was IBM or somebody, but it was a big business, right? And The kid came in and the mother came in behind him and the the lady said the girl was telling me the story said no it's just fair oh no I have to be here with the and she said
Ha ha.
Oh so right there, what are we looking at over here?
Trump blasts the opponents of the Iran deal as fools.
No kidding.
He said Thursday those fools criticizing the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran defending the agreement are fools. These fools who I think they've haven't been tough think I haven't been tough enough for
Yeah.
when the stock market just hit a record high and oil prices are tumbling down. Are either jealous, bad people or stupid. Make America great again. Trump's comments came hours after he formally signed the memorandum of understanding alongside the Iranian president, launching a sixty day negotiating period. aimed at converting the framework into a broader agreement covering Iran's nuclear capabilities. The memorandum is intended to halt further escalation while we pursue more negotiations.
The point is that the the various critics, some conservative, some Republicans are saying, Hey, why why are you trusting Iran? He's not. Why are you giving Iran money? He's not. Why are you believing them? And the answer is he's not. He's not going to permit the aid to go to Iran. He's not going to even unfreeze the Iranian assets we already have in the US. What he is gonna do is open the straights, which means that they'll sell their oil like they've always done.
Good. And any further relief is gonna be dependent on what they do in implementing this memorandum of understanding. What if they don't they're not getting a dime. If they don't release the nuclear dust, they're not getting a dime.
is the sixty first day of this freeze, right? Sixty sixty days. On the sixty first day They're gonna go back on their deal, the Iranians. They're gonna say, All right, and then they're not gonna let people in and Trump's gonna bomb the crap out of'em, and we're gonna be back to the same thing. But He's not gonna
We'll be back to the same thing.
Not c you're right. No, I mean the Iranians will be back to the state. That's what I mean.
We will have crippled Iran. Absolutely. We will have knocked out their power, we've knocked out the desalinization plants, we will have knocked everything out. And it'll be a total desert again.
And maybe he should drop those leaflets to all the people that live there and say, Listen stand up to your government and we'll help you. You know what I mean? Where did they do that? We did that somewhere in the Middle East, uh, maybe with Bush or something, I forget.
But former army generals say Ukraine is making headway in the war with Russia. Russia's strategy has remained basically unchanged despite losing almost five hundred thousand soldiers in its four year war with Ukraine. Le retired general, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, called the war a test of will and logistics, sees Ukraine as coming out ahead on both counts. He said Kiev's fleet of drones is making dangerous for any Russian convoy or train moving into the southern or eastern parts of Ukraine.
The Russians have never changed their approach to what they're doing. What they're doing today is almost the same as they were doing four years ago, just trying to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses. But the Ukrainians have figured out their theory of victory, the destruction of Russia's oil and gas infrastructure, so they can't raise the financial resources necessary to continue the war.
The Atlantic discussion took place as another refinery was at bla was blazing. Oh uh retired Army General Wesley Clark said the refinery was not fire was not a one-off event. It's necessary that Ukraine continues to strike the same gas and oil pipelines. Russia gets it repaired. This has to go on and on and on. Can they sustain it? It looks like they can. So by having
Can the Ukraine sustain it? Yes, it looks like.
So by having unmanned drones, there's no personal casualties involved. Right. The drones are cheap, they're inexpensive, and they can just continue doing it. Retired General J Douglas Looty, who after leaving the army became US ambassador in NATO. said Russia's inherent military vulnerabilities, like low morale and abuse of leadership, along with logistic challenges, will continue to be an issue as the war continues.
So these logistics are meant to plus supply relatively low grade, low quality armed force. Ukraine's strategy of targeting Moscow's near rear area logistics could cause a morality home. General Clark said while the average Russian soldier is poorly trained and receives inadequate logistical support. The Republic the Kremlin continues to turn out personnel who meekly walk like a meat grinder into the Ukrainian battlefield.
They know if they're captured they can get shot when they get home. There's a fear factor that motivates these Russian soldiers. Wow. That's really hard to penetrate. But Ukraine is winning. Ukraine is conquering territory. Aerial ph satellite photographs suggest that a goodly portion of Ukraine is now liberated and I don't want this war to end. I want it to continue. I want the Russians to be totally beaten. I want their army to be ripped apart. I want their army to be ripped apart.
You're right.

This is a horrible thing. This is so disgusting. California seeks to let kids divorce their parents In the left's ongoing crusade to separate vulnerable children from the influence of their parents, Democrats in the failed state of California are pushing a bill that would allow minor children to divorce their parents. As you read this, keep in mind that this has nothing to do with protecting children. Quite the opposite, in fact.
This is about removing children from the protection of their families so that they can be corrupted and exploited. The bill allows any minor residing in any residential facility to file a legal application against their parents without cause or evidence of harm, reports the the postmillennium. Residential facilities include drug rehabilitation programs, boarding schools, wilderness therapy programs, face-based-based residential programs, and runway shelters. Runaway shelters.
You think that sounds bad? Here's the devil in the details. The child can petition the court to strip the parents of custodial authority and substitute county child welfare control or foster placement. The report ends. The application needs not to be corroborated by any adult and need not be served on the parents.
The child's statement alone is sufficient, this is horrible, is sufficient to trigger a mandatory assessment of the parent's home. This assessment can occur without the parents' knowledge. And here's the true motive. A child in a pro-reality therapeutic setting can use A B nineteen sixty-seven, that's it, whatever, to move herself into A home or institution that will affirm her transgender identity. California welfare laws require children under state control to be affirmed.
in their gender identity, housed in accordance with their identity and not sex, and given access to sex reje uh rejecting interventions. So you have trouble with a teen dealing with all the complications that come with puberty and oftentimes one of the those complications is resenting your child ch your parents.
for reasons you don't even really understand. This is fairly common and most families work through it with the family intact after the kids grow and mature, thanks to the love and guidance of parents. uh uh um patients and ki and caring parents. What these degenerates in California want to do is exploit this perfectly normal phase of childhood by allowing the confused children in a legal mechanism to show them. Through this parent. This is horrible.
Yeah, so first the
I can't even get around this.
First they get children to do sex all during uh therapy. Then they stop telling parents about them. Instead giving the rights to therapy centers that change the gender of the children. It's literally kidnapping.
Продолжение следует...
Yes, this is a few years. Well they might, but it's hard.
How would they be able to? I have to ask.
Well like we come in and say it's a civil rights violation, a human rights.
And that
And they that's federal and they might be able to do that. Wow, this is
Absolutely. This story sickens me.
But this is probably the only time you've heard about this this show. This is happening in secret. It's happening across the country and very few people are aware of it or are calling people's attention to it.
When I was briefing myself this morning on this, I I couldn't get over it. I was sick to my
It's it's amazing. There is more evidence that the Trump tax cuts are working. The average tax refund is now up eleven percent over three four hundred dollars. Over 105 million file filers have claimed the permanently doubled standard deduction, simplifying the filing process. and the expanded child tax credit has benefited over thirty four million families.
Nearly twelve billion small business owners are receiving tax reductions averaging nearly seven thousand dollars, aided by the permanent expansion extension of twenty percent small business deductions. Over five million Trump accounts have been opened, allowing Americans to build wealth with government match contributions and tax advantages, employment mop uh opportunities.
So Trump's tax cut, which has been attacked as a tax cut for the wealthy, is in fact stimulating alternatives to wealth and giving the average American a tremendous capacity, no tax on tip. No tax on social security, no tax on overtime, doubling the interchild tax credit, doubling increasing the small business tax credit, and Trump accounts for newborns.
I want to ask you this, Dick. The Trump accounts. Now I know he was doing with the children. Give'em a thousand to two thousand dollars, newborn, blah, blah, blah, under three years old. Tell me about other the Trump accounts. He's got other accounts with adults.
These are just these are standard deductions that he's increasing. he he made this tax cut not by cutting the top right top right state at forty. What he did was he had a huge tax cut by middle class tax cuts that are embedded in the text of the bill that are now taking effect. And it's unbelievable what's happening.
Wow, that's great. All right, when we come back we're gonna talk about Cuba. This is really a good story.

What that means. Here's Dick Morris.

Welcome back to the Dick Morris and Doug DePiro show, sponsored by the Patriot Gold Group. Cuba has passed a new emergency economic plan. to push for expanding private enterprise, greater autonomy for municipalities, and policies to attract additional public additional b foreign investment. What's going on now in Cuba is that because of the American oil embargo made possible by toppling of Maduro and ending the export of Venezuelan oil to Cuba.
and sanctions on Mexico to stop them from filling the void. Is Cuba's desperate economic And what the Cuban government, the communists, are being forced to do, is to privatize Cuba bit by bit, piece by piece. They're basically taking every institution that the cu communist government nationalized and privatizing it. and turning it over to private investors, some of whom are the Cuban Americans who live in Florida now, who fled Cuba in the first place.
This isn't as dramatic as Maduro being led away in handcuffs or the Ayatollah getting bombed and killed in Iran.
But it's better.
But it's bigger. It's bigger, it's more important. Eventually Cuba is gonna become a capitalist country.
You know, I said this a w a couple of months ago when we started with this whole Cuba thing and whatnot, and I talked to some people also. Number one, you got people in Miami, twenty feet from Cuba, right? You got people in Miami, Cuban Americans or Cubans, whatever, that have businesses and are doing well. They have nightclubs, they have restaurants, they got things going on.
businesses that are happening that is big in the the city of Miami, right? You get them to open up businesses in Cuba. You already have a successful, let's say Joe's restaurant, a Cuban restaurant, right? in Miami. You're gonna get Cuban Americans in Miami taking a boat or a plane and going there Building.
It's gonna be and it's gonna be piece by piece. It won't be troops storming up the beach. But it will be Cuba being forced to retreat step by step away from socialism.
I'm going down there and I'm buying a whole block of build I mean, I'm not kidding. I'm gonna go buy a block of buildings and I'm gonna call it nineteen fifty eight. The whole block.
Before she left as director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabba used her last day in office. To release a trove of evidence that doctor Anthony Fauci lied to Congress and directed US funding for gaining function research linked to big pharmaceutical universal vaccines. all the while influencing and manipulating the intelligence community to cover up his role in the coronavirus epidemic.
Creep.
Gabbard released a trove of documents on the last day in office. Showcasing what she said for many years, Fauci lied to cover up his own alleged wrongdoing. The Trump administration is blowing the leader off the cover up completely, showcasing Fauci's role in providing US m taxpayer dollars in the millions. to fund dangerous gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute.
Gabbard said today on my final day as the D and I'm releasing never before seen communications that expose exactly how fast she works. with politicized career leadership in the Intel community, to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus lab league origins, and his role in directing US funding for this dangerous research that's caused immeasurable harm to countless countries. Incredible.
Galbert's alleged that those documents clearly exposed Fauci direct role in influence in manipulating assessments on COVID nineteen and how Fauci lied to Congress in twenty-four when under oath he denied knowledge of the participation and discussions with intelligent officials about the disease. Galbut also revealed that he they have testimony from intelligent community whistleblowers who reported retaliation for
challenging the intelligence community, manipulation of intelligence on the virus's origins. Ultimately, Gabbett said Fauci was able to use his close relationships with the intelligent community to shield him from scrutiny. That's horrible.
Last week Los Angeles reported that LA County election officials were cooperating with law enforcement officials regarding allegations that skid row homeless population were paid or bribed with cigarettes and other items to register to vote and sign ballot petitions. On Thursday, plain closed federal agents from the FBI descended on Skid Road to conduct interviews regarding election fraud.
The they acknowledge that there are a series of videos that indicate that these homeless people were bribed with money and cigarettes and other stuff to uh sign petitions to become male in voters. Bear in mind that a third of the ballots in the mayor's race in California, LA were last minute mail in voting. And there were mail ins by these homeless people. And it's the first clear example of their using skid row homeless people to influence and determine the election.
Well, it's been an honor to be here, Dick Morris. Thank you, Roxana. We're on the rocks. And we're sorry for our call in people that we couldn't get to. The the the show was just packed. But thank you for calling in and try again next week. Thank you.
Thank you.
