As a wise person once said, the left can't meme. And lately, it can't win either. In this episode, I cover the latest social media fiasco from the Democrats, who are still picking up the pieces after an optics disaster at Trump's speech to Congress last week, and how JD Vance masterfully embraced a hostile meme.

Chapter 3: How does Dan Bongino address the Secret Service incident at the White House?
Speaking of which, Haley's show launches tonight. The Evening Scroll with Haley Karania, 6 p.m. You can see it Eastern time tonight. The show is amazing. You saw a couple of her test runs last week. She is super talented. So give her a follow on Silverlock Media as they take this from me and going forward in the future. Friday night, I went up. I was up in D.C., though.
I hadn't been back there in a long time and went to Bobby Van's Steakhouse. And I got to tell you, folks, it is interesting for life to come full 180 for me, you know. Well, actually, in this case, I take that back 360. I made the mistake. I always kind of knock other people for saying 360. No, no, 360. You're back in the same spot. And I was. I had Paul and I.
used to go to Bobby Vann's when I worked in DC, and she worked down the block at this company called SIA at the time. And to go back, the steak was amazing, by the way. It was just, it was an amazing experience to have just, you know, I just feel like it was very kind of emotional to cross the bridge, look at the Jefferson Memorial again, and go back into the city I left in.
years ago, so I'll be back there on Monday where I start my job. The media, again, was stunned. They were shocked. You guys saw my tweet this weekend. I had to address many media questions. Folks, they are unaware that there is a business model in the media where they sell these things called spots, sometimes known as advertisements. You guys ever heard of this model?
Justin's like, I know it's new. It's about 100 years old, so it's about five times the length of Justin's life. But they just figured that out. They just figured that out, how that works. So I addressed them in mass in a viral tweet this weekend. But thank you guys all for your patience with everything. I really appreciate it. All right, let's get to the show. So first, the Bongino rule is in...
I don't even want to say full effect. It is in like full, full, full effect. There was a shooting at the White House involving the Secret Service. This is a Braveheart Mel Gibson hold moment. I'm going to tell you a couple of things about it. But first, here's some news coverage of what happened. Check this out.
the US Secret Service has shot a man near the White House in Washington DC that's according to our colleagues at NBC News in the States it happened shortly after midnight after an armed confrontation with law enforcement according to the Secret Service there they say local police had reported what they described as a suicidal individual who had possibly traveled to Washington DC from Indiana.
They later located a vehicle and spotted a person on foot who matched the description. They then brandished a firearm, the report says, and an armed confrontation ensued during which shots were fired by Secret Service personnel, they've confirmed.
Sorry, someone told me we missed it. We missed the bell? Can't miss the bell. And then someone else in the chat said, the sound is great. Thank you. The sound is super crisp in the studio. Much different than the old office, right? That was just a converted studio. Listen, a couple of things on this. Two big takeaways. Number one, on the hold front.

Chapter 4: What are President Trump's views on the Department of Education?
We want to bring the schools back to the states because we have the worst, literally, we have the worst education department and education in the world. We're ranked at the bottom of the list, and yet we're number one when it comes to cost per pupil.
We want to not only have school choice, which is important, but we want to bring it back to the states so the states can run the schools, and they will be every bit as good as the top educational departments anywhere in the world.
If there was ever an example of transactional President Trump, this is it. He doesn't want to hear your flowery fairy tales about how every single student deserves an education. Yes, he knows that. So do I. They do. But they're not getting it. Your taxpayer does. This is money taken from you, folks. It's not fake money. It's not monopoly money.
It's not collect 250 because you were on Park Avenue, whatever it is. This is real money, real money being lost because you're shuttling it to the federal government to take a cut, to send it back to the states for programs that don't work. And nobody seems to be paying attention to it outside of the conservative movement and President Trump. I asked last week, and these guys are good.
Last week, I said, do you guys remember that story? It was from a couple of years ago. It was out of the Baltimore area, the Baltimore area media market. The story was almost unbelievable when I first saw the headline, to the point where I had to do one of those check it, check it twice things. You ever shoot on the range and make sure it's empty? Check it. Check it twice.
I had to check this one twice. Here's seven on your side, ABC, local Baltimore. 23 Baltimore schools have zero students proficient in math. State test results real. How the hell do you do that? How the hell do you have zero students? You would think by chance. This is not funny. I'm not... Justin, am I crazy?
Like by chance you would get one super genius kid in the class who even though the instruction's not going well, can at least be proficient in math, right? Maybe he figured it out at home. Maybe they use the Khan Academy or something like that. How the hell do you have 23 schools with a donut, zero students proficient in math?
It's kind of impressive.
It almost, like the level of failure, right? You're like, how did they do that? Michael, it's almost like they were trying. It's like, how do we get every single kid, every single kid to not be, we're not talking about excelling. We're just talking about like basic proficiency. How do you do that? Is this intentional? What are you doing?

Hey, I'd be remiss also, again, just before I get started, if I did not thank my wife. I saw Paula this morning, and I was getting changed for work and ready to bounce out to the studio. And she is just...
Folks, if you could give her a little shout out in the chat, I'd really appreciate it. She is running around. We are doing so much trying to move. We don't even have a place yet. The place we were going to get, it didn't work out. So we're actually moving right now to nowhere yet until we figure it out. She's over at the other house trying to get stuff for us. She's packing.
She's just been doing so much dealing with the transition of the business. to my unbelievable, and by the way, threw this party for me this weekend. We had about 50 people show up. My team was there. So Paula, thank you so much for me, and I know that everybody watching feels the same way. You were amazing. I saw her this morning getting changed, and I said, hey, I'm sorry.
And she said, you're sorry for what? I said, I'm sorry you married a guy like me. You know? And she's like, what do you mean? I said, you know, you could have married some rich doctor who works a 9 to 5 or something and stayed home and married a guy like me who's always, you know, throwing curveballs. Take that back, throwing knuckleballs. So you don't know where it's going to go.
So I appreciate that. You're a good woman. Thank you. The best. All right, man, folks, I'm telling you, the last week's gonna be tough. So if you guys will just bear with me on this emotional rollercoaster, I would so deeply appreciate it. I know you all understand. But we do have content to cover. So this is what I'm talking about.
You're witnessing a total brand collapse of a party that prided itself, the Democrats in the past, of being the party of the little guy, the party of the working man. And in this effort to one-up the attacks on Donald Trump, what they've done is they've completely forfeited and unmoored their boat to that brand label. But here's the thing. It is okay to remake your party with a new brand.

Chapter 7: How is the Democratic Party's brand changing according to TikTok influencers?
I'm kidding, of course. She also said skibbity.
Oh, Skibbity, what is Skibbity? I don't know what that is.
It actually doesn't mean anything, I don't think.
Oh, is that, folks in the chat, can you help me? I know we have a lot of younger viewers. What is Skibbity? Is that supposed to mean something? Skibbity, can you mix them? Can you be like the Skibbity Rizzler bestie with main character energy holding the bag? Is that possible to put them all in one sentence or is that way too much influencer era? But you know what, Michael?
We need your esposa right now. Evita is familiar with all this stuff. She doesn't talk like that, but Evita is all over the whole culture stuff. Her and Hailey are going to be all over this stuff. They know what this is like. You got to, can you have her?

Too bad we don't have another sponsor for me to transition you into.
