(0:52) What everyone has been waiting on, Gene Valentino and Michael Pollan. Good morning, gentlemen.

(0:58) Good morning. Glad to be back with you in the studio. Good morning, Gene.
You know, Gene,

(1:03) I’ll tell you, it seems to me that there’s a group in this country that wants to or is interested in

(1:10) political violence. Obviously, we had Charlie Kirk killed yesterday in cold blood by a guy who

(1:17) is, well, I’m not sure what he is really. I mean, he’s dating or in love with a transgender person.

(1:25) You know, I don’t even know what you call that these days. I mean, there’s so much running

(1:30) around in my head. But political violence, you know, that’s something that we have seen a lot

(1:35) with anti-fascism.
You know, let’s do this. Let’s call it anti-fascism, but let’s really be fascist.

(1:44) And, you know, it just goes to show you the old saying that, you know, whatever Democrats

(1:50) are accusing Republicans of doing, they’re actually doing it.
They’re the ones that are

(1:56) actually doing it. And yet they will stand flat footed like Jimmy Kimmel did the other day and say

(2:02) this is a Republican doing this against Republicans. And people are supposed to believe this.

(2:09) Welcome to the world of deflection, distraction and diversion. If I take your attention off my

(2:17) wrongdoing, who cares if I’m accusing you of the same? Your attention is to the other side

(2:25) of the issue. This Rashid Tlaib, Congresswoman out of Michigan, just did it yesterday with our

(2:32) favorite congressman over here in Florida, Byron Donalds.
She went off on her crazy antics and rant

(2:42) over Donalds, and Donalds called her out. He said, now, wait a minute. Do you think I look

(2:50) like a Nazi or a fascist to you? And this Tlaib’s gone off the deep end.
It’s because

(2:57) they’re accusing the Republicans of that which they are guilty of. The problem is she has an

(3:04) audience. Michael, the Gen Z crowd born 1997 to 2012.
So that makes them 18 to 28 years of age

(3:15) right now. This crowd is listening to her rhetoric, her inflammatory rhetoric. 58 percent

(3:26) of the Gen Z crowd believe that political violence is never acceptable.
On the other hand,

(3:36) guys like you and me with the baby boomers, the other end of the age spectrum, you know,

(3:42) we were 1946 to 1964, we were born. We’re between 61 and 79 years of age. As baby boomers,

(3:56) 93 percent of us say that political violence is never acceptable.
So what we’re left with

(4:06) is commentating and giving opinions and talking about what’s going on based on a narrative that

(4:15) isn’t necessarily true. We think most people won’t react violently, but the younger crowd

(4:25) is. And that’s part of Rashid Tlaib’s inflammatory rhetoric you started the show with

(4:34) that’s causing this problem.
Now, multiply that by dozens of congressmen and women in dozens of

(4:41) states, complicate the matter with the reduction of restrictions and regulation over immigration

(4:49) and this crazy insurgence of this wall of people coming over the line to try to sneak in the

(4:59) to become part of the American way. And we find ourselves with a nation

(5:06) that has lost its spirit, lost its heart, lost its soul. And you know where you see it?

(5:16) Donald Trump’s over in the UK right now.
Well, he just got home, but he struck some great deals

(5:24) with the United Kingdom. Great Britain realizes they’ve got the same problem.

(5:31) They’ve lost their spiritual, cultural way.
I have no desire to go to London right now with

(5:39) my family to tour around. It’s a Muslim state when you’re walking down the street.

(5:45) And the question is, huh? The mayor is a Muslim.
Yeah, not Muslims are, in fact, good people.

(5:57) But the Islamic jihad elements that mandate the killing of white people, specifically Americans,

(6:07) is intolerable within their own culture. And that Great Britain’s reaching out to Donald Trump right

(6:16) now to help restore the culture of the Great Britain system the way we’re taking the lead

(6:25) to do it within our own nation.
Thank God it’s not too late. But it almost was. We had to watch

(6:31) the stink of a Chuck Schumer, Michael, right under our nose in the Senate, try to stifle

(6:39) these appointments that Trump desperately needs to get things fixed and turned around in the

(6:45) operation of government.
Chuck Schumer is trying to stifle it. And it’s sickening. I mean, if you

(6:53) can’t see it, you’ve got to get him unelected.
He cannot run again. The question is, has he done

(7:01) any criminal wrongdoing? I submit it’s much worse than anything Donald Trump’s been accused of,

(7:07) and he should be removed from office before the end of his six-year senatorial term.

(7:13) To celebrate our newest launch, REV7, I’m bringing you an amazing introductory offer,

(7:19) plus an exclusive overstock sale that you’re not going to want to miss.

(7:26) drink that tastes great and gives you energy all day with no jitters and no crashes. That’s

(7:32) because there’s no sugar and no caffeine. So go to MyPillow.com or call the number on your screen.

(7:38) Use your promo code to save 20% on our REV7 12-packs or try our introductory three-pack,

(7:45) absolutely free. Yeah, replace him. That’s the question.
Up in New York with the man

(7:52) is a 100% communist. He’s a Muslim communist. And so we’ve got a situation in New York where

(7:59) you’ve got AOC that wants to run for that position anyway.
She’s made it known.

(8:03) Chuck Schumer is fighting for his political life right now. He’s guaranteeing a shutdown

(8:10) because last time he agreed with the Republicans and said, let’s don’t shut the government down.

(8:15) And they gave him so much hell that he decided, I think, that he’s not going to take a position

(8:22) like that anymore. So the same Gen Z crowd now is the target we have as conservatives to

(8:31) address the re-election of the Chuck Schumers, the Rashid Tlaibs, and others like that. We have

(8:38) got to remove them from office legally, non-violently, within the system that we live

(8:47) with, and get our governance back on track with good governance.
Why aren’t these congressmen and

(8:57) women talking about the issues that we asked them to address when they were elected to run

(9:03) to get to Congress in Washington? We want them doing for us what we asked them to do. They

(9:10) work for us. Oh, no.
When they get to D.C., they act like they’ve turned into kings, the very thing

(9:18) they’re accusing Trump of they are. They’re walking around like prima donnas that think they deserve to

(9:25) take control of a new direction. And the only thing they’re doing is trying to protect their

(9:32) re-election and raise money for it.
They’re not worried about your positions, your issues. Now,

(9:39) I say that with anger and with a little bit of a broad stroke. You’ve got great congressmen in

(9:45) your backyards in Mississippi, and so do I over in Florida.
But notwithstanding the good folk,

(9:53) there’s a lot that have permeated the fabric of Congress and have affected good governance,

(10:02) and a lot of things have slown down because of it. Watch out for the new pending budget

(10:08) reconciliation that Mike Johnson’s trying to get through in short order. Watch how many Democrats

(10:14) try to obstruct a logical approach to getting the financial matters taken care of before the fiscal

(10:22) year ends this fall.
Well, I don’t see I don’t see any any way around a government shutdown unless

(10:30) the Republicans in the Senate change the rules to where that you don’t have to have a 60 vote

(10:36) majority. Now, of course, we know that that can be a two-edged sword, that if you change the rules

(10:43) and you do it that way, you’ve got to expect that if Democrats get back in that they’re going to

(10:48) force something down your throat, much like they did Obamacare and other things that we saw. But

(10:54) Obamacare, a little different story because that was done under a different set of rules.
But

(10:58) in any case, you know, it’s I think here’s what’s got to happen. We’ve got to get back control of

(11:05) our elections in this country. We’ve got elections that are so out of hand in California, in Illinois,

(11:13) in New York, in places like that, that that absolutely they let anybody vote.
They you

(11:21) don’t have to have an I.D. I mean, you have got so many problems associated with that.

(11:25) If we can get a handle on that and Trump’s working on it and the Republicans are working on it.

(11:30) And term limits.
And term limits would be great. You are you know, I believe that we’re going to

(11:37) have to end up with with some sort of a constitutional convention by someone like

(11:44) Convention of the States, which is an organization that’s trying to push that right now

(11:48) to get term limits. There’s no congressman out there.
Maybe there’s a handful, but you’ll never

(11:54) get congressmen or senators to vote to put their self out of business. They just won’t do it.

(12:02) They’re not going to do it.
You can’t expect them to do it. It’s self preservation.

(12:07) The only way it’s going to happen, Michael, in the normal schema set up by our constitution

(12:13) is with a supermajority in the House and Senate.
And we’ve never been closer to that chance of

(12:19) happening. It could happen midterms, but you are correct. The Convention of States procedure

(12:25) is a legitimate procedure that can be enacted to affect a constitutional amendment if, in fact,

(12:34) they cannot do it within the supermajority vote process of the House and the Senate.

(12:39) And we need it. We need it to move, mobilize some things rather quickly.

(12:43) The voting process, which Mike Lindell went out on a limb for with himself and his own business,

(12:52) and the term limits, you said.

(12:55) Yeah. And so every time I talk about Convention of the States, I like to point out the fact that,

(13:00) folks, you can go to conventionofstates.com and you can participate. You can help them.
You can

(13:08) help raise money. And they’ve got now, I want to say, you know, they have to have somewhere in the

(13:13) neighborhood of like 34 states. And, Gene, they’re somewhere in the neighborhood of 26, 27 states

(13:19) that have voted to have a convention.
And if that happens, the states will decide

(13:26) on the amendment, whatever it is, to the Constitution, not the people in Congress

(13:32) and not the president. None of them will have anything to do with this.

(13:36) So you’re absolutely correct.

(13:39) In the past, I want to point out that in the past, when these have gotten close, and it’s

(13:44) happened before, they’ve gotten close to a point that they were going to get enough states to have

(13:48) a convention. Then you saw Congress act. They did it because they wanted to do it in a way that they

(13:55) could protect themselves.
And so, you know, it’s possible that we could get this done.

(14:01) You got to help these folks, though, wherever you are in the country, you have to help these

(14:05) people, the convention of the states, because that is a tool that could be used to shape up

(14:10) our government and do away with some of these people like Nancy Pelosi that have been there

(14:15) forever, Chuck Schumer. I mean, he’s never done anything in his life, but vote on taxes against

(14:21) you.
That’s all he’s ever done. That’s the only way he knows to raise money, not like you and I do

(14:25) it. It’s just crazy.
Well, we are going we are witnessing a transformation in this nation and

(14:33) the younger generation. I mentioned the more interested in violence earlier with the Gen Z

(14:39) crowd. They’re also more interested in in resolution quicker as well.
So I think you’ll

(14:47) find a major transformation, a mass formation psychosis. That was what they were accused of

(14:56) during covid is now the same psychosis that’s going to push a transition in a good way after

(15:04) the after the Charlie Kirk death last week. Hey, Michael, just a week or just a week ago,

(15:10) Charlie Kirk, huge memorial for him coming up over 60000 people in the stadium coming.

(15:18) And we he has single. I don’t regret his death, but I do. Glad to the changes he’s resulted in.

(15:24) I got to run. Thank you for having me. Thank you.
Thank you so much for joining us,

(15:29) Gene Valentino, the Velvet Hammer. We’ll see you again next week.

(15:33) Likewise, 730, the hour Fox News break is next.
And Michael’s back with the weather.

(15:43) As usual, that went pretty well because, hey, we just talk from the heart.

(15:49) We talk from the heart.
It always works best. I got certain keynotes and you you hit the nail

(15:55) on the head with that Convention of States issue. I hope it’s it’s an amendment through

(16:01) the process of Congress.
But as you suggest, you’re going up against a tidal wall of people

(16:08) trying to make that happen. They’re trying to protect their turf. What the hell are you

(16:13) talking? How are you going to you’re not going to screw with me and my turf.
What are you talking

(16:17) about? I agree 100 percent. So it’s it’s an option and a tool out there. And I hope I hope that they

(16:23) are able to achieve somewhere near or close to the what they need.
And that will put Congress

(16:28) on notice. They better do something. No, brother, that was a good one.
We did it. Did it nicely
