It's Monday, and it's Vince, and you're inside a brand new studio right now. Actually, this studio is my home studio. This is the house. Now, it didn't always look like this, I should tell you. It mostly looked like this, but we added some new features to the room. We put... Vince up on the wall here, which is kind of fun. We've got the big American flag in the background.

Everyone's saying that the studio looks nice. I'm telling you right now that this still remains at the moment kind of a temporary arrangement. This is my home studio. I'm doing this from the house for a little bit longer. And then eventually I'm going to be located inside of the same radio station that I'll do the 12 to 3 from. every day right here in the Washington, D.C. area.
We'll have a studio set up there. Paula Bongino and a lighting crew went and they visited and they were working out the details on what it's going to look like and how to arrange it. So it's going to be great. I can't wait to get in there finally. But for now, yes, you're right. There's a lot of...
A lot of the features in the studio I'm in right now, I kind of I designed very intentionally to look a lot like what the Bongino's set up in Florida. So, yeah, you can see a lot of similar elements here. And for those asking, yes, it is a bottle of Eagle Rare sitting. There's a bourbon bottle of Eagle Rare sitting here from my my good friends at let's see here if I can put this up. It's a.

Chapter 3: What are the left-wing protests about?
It's a store pick from Bourbon Boulevard. My buddies at Bourbon Boulevard in Virginia. That's their full bottle of Eagle Rare. And in case you're wondering, I'm no tater. I have an open bottle of Eagle Rare. This one's just closed and it's used for the set right now. So there you go. There you go. So that's what we've got going on here.
Here's the good news that I want to share with you that you have been a part of. We just got the podcast ratings in. from PodTrack for the month of March, which of course is now concluded. And look at this thing. Let's take a look at the podcast. Where are we here? Let's see. Number seven. Number seven in the whole country? New. New.
That means that's the first time we're all on this ratings chart together. Number seven in the entire United States of America. How about that? Thank you very, very much, guys. Look at that. Let's get some, how about some W's for winning in the chat? Some W's? Because we've got number seven in the country. That puts us right near the top.
Now, what frustrates me is that I'm looking at a lot of NPR above me. which is psychotic. Thank you. Some W's appearing in the chat. Thank you very much for that. How did NPR end up on those top things? So we got NPR News Now at number one, up first from NPR at number three. Can we defund them already? If we get rid of NPR, where does that put us? Oh, that'll put us up nicely.
We'll be in the top five in the country if we get rid of all those NPR goons up top. So just in case you're wondering what impact you've had so far, Hello, number seven in the whole country. Thank you for that. And the goal is to just keep going up from here. A lot of great people on that list. I'm looking at the list. Sean Ryan is right there with us. Very cool. Very, very cool.
So thank you for that. And yes, let's defund NPR. Let's fix this scoreboard because they already fixed it. What's the deal here? It's rigged. Thank you very much. Lots of W's in the chat. We'll be number one next month, says Kay Osborne. I can't wait for that. I can't wait for that. Hey, let's get into these lefties now, these lefty protests all across the country.
uh, over the weekend on Saturday, we saw a very goofy, um, day of rage from the left. Have you noticed that the left holds days of rage? These are like jihadis. They hold days of rage that they, they shake their fist at the sky and they yell. And then they put, they have like effigies of Trump for real. There were, there were effigies of Trump being dragged around.
Like, you know, like these guys should be investigated by the secret service. Let's be honest. As they're dragging around what looks like a body of the president of the United States. I saw one video. I'm not even going to show it to you. It's disgusting. Of a woman doing disgusting sexual acts to a puppet of Trump and acting like that's the proper way of things. It's obviously demented.
There's a lot of mental illness running around. And the big money players on the left are exploiting a lot of this mental illness. They're taking mentally ill people and then mobilizing them in the streets to advocate for what? Well, let me think here. They're advocating for more war. They're advocating for open borders. They're advocating for more government. They want more abortions.

Chapter 4: How are Soros and Indivisible involved in protests?
They're waving Ukraine flags in order to sustain more Ukrainian death. If you can't detect that by now, you're gone, you're lost, or you're a part of the establishment that's profiting off of it. Ukrainians are dying. Ukrainians are dying. So every time you're waving that Ukrainian flag at a U.S. event, it is to sustain the death of Ukrainian people. Over a million people casualties in this war.
It's insanity. And the left, which used to pretend to be against war, is actually exposing itself as completely for the status quo in whatever form it takes. They will defend the elite establishment. So Trump and you and me, we confront it. The left goes out and they advocate for it. So there you have those Ukraine and trans flags.
They were also flying, this is cut 14, Antifa flags and Palestinian flags, obviously. Take a look. There it is, Antifa. That's a domestic terrorism flag. Yeah. So the Antifa flag is out there. Palestinian flags are all over the place. They were also flying pro Hamas flags. Look at this. Cut 13. Laura Loomer and her organization captured footage of Hamas flags flying out there. This is in D.C.
Yeah. So, you know, the left, they act like they're like, oh, we're not for Hamas. How could we be for him? Hello. You're carrying Hamas's flag with you in the streets of the nation's capital. You're explicitly supporting a terror organization. It's not there's no question here. It's not like, oh, we just we just support the rights of Palestinian Arabs to live.
No, actually, you are carrying Hamas flags because you're advocating for terrorism in the streets of the nation's capital. That's what's happening. So that's a case you're wondering how cohesive all of this is. It's mindless. It's completely incoherent. Everything you just saw was designed to increase the chaos, not to make it a bait, not to help anybody, not to help humanity coexist.
It's nothing like that. It's sowing division. It's sowing death and destruction. And then, of course, because they can't hide it at all, they're also carrying pro-socialism signs this weekend. Cut 16. Take a look at this. Socialism. Socialism beats fascism. The irony of course is they're both. Yeah. All right. So they all got on the streets.
They advocate for let's let's let's go back down the list again. We've got Antifa. That's domestic terrorism. We got the Palestinian flags are flying foreign flags on our on our soil. They're flying Mexican flags on our soil, of course, because, again, foreign flags. They're also flying Ukraine flags, again, foreign flags in order to sustain wars in that region and more death. They're flying the.
pro-socialism flags. They're flying the Hamas flag, pretty explicitly a terror organization. And then of course I covered, they were flying trans flags, transgender flags, LGBTQ. Those are the misogynistic, bigoted flags of a demented political movement that is seeking to hurt women. Did I just, oh, that's not good.
If you're watching the video, did I just do a thumbs up emoji and it just appeared on screen? Yeah, that's stupid. This is the product of my computer not having that option turned up. That means if I do double thumbs up, this could be a risk. Let's see if I get fireworks. Let's see. Yeah. Okay. Let's just hope that that doesn't break. Okay. All right. Enough of that. Let me turn that off. Whoops.

Chapter 5: What is Victor Davis Hanson's analysis of the Democratic Party?
I've had great conversations with him in the past. He says, yeah, they're tapping into the color revolution playbook. This is synthetic. It is artificial what's going on. This is not born out of some sort of actual concern for the wellbeing of the average American family. They don't give a damn if you can make it paycheck to paycheck.
They're not concerned that America is at over a trillion dollars in credit card debt. They're not concerned about the safety of our communities. That's the last thing on their mind. They like the chaos. They wanna take things to an even worse level than they were under Biden. And they're applying all of this left-wing cash to do it. It's phony. It is garbage.
And the incoherence of all the messages is sort of an indication of that, isn't it? Victor Davis Hanson, who is wonderful, has been talking about this. Take a look at cut 11, Victor Davis Hanson in his typically great analysis of what's going on in our country right now.
The Democratic Party is a party of the very wealthy professionals, the billionaire class, and the subsidized poor, and it abandoned the middle class 10, 15 years ago. All the data show that it's the party of the very wealthy. And what they're doing right now is they're creating hysteria on the left so they can empower Europe, China, and Japan and send a message, if you guys will just hold out,
We're creating such anger and tension here that you can win this trade war, humiliate Trump, and then we can come back to power and we're gonna restore the globalized status quo. That's what they're doing.
Look at that, look at that. So what is Victor Davis Hanson tapping into, BDH? He's tapping into the fact that we've got lefties in the country who are sowing chaos as a not subtle message to foreign powers, to adversaries of the United States, Just bide your time with Trump. Don't you worry about Trump's forcefulness here, his muscular tariff policies, his economic policies.
Just ride it out because we are going to introduce so much chaos in the United States that we're going to unseat the Trump administration. And when that happens, you can continue to take advantage of this country. That's the message. So When you see what just happened on Saturday, you can't disconnect it from President Trump's fight in order to right the economy. You can't separate that at all.
So it's worth remembering that as you see all of the economic battles that are going on, that you've got the left really, really trying to sow chaos here as a sign to foreign powers that they stand with them. Victor Davis Hanson with that excellent assessment. More in a moment. And a lot of a lot of people liking Victor Davis Hanson here.
People also saying they're glad that I'm back at a desk here. I love being back at a desk here. The chat, as always, wonderful. All right. Hey, let me tell you, before I get back into some of the tariff stuff that's going on, you know, the April 15th tax deadline. It is barreling towards us. As we're doing this, it's April 7th.

Chapter 6: How does President Trump defend his tariff policies?
And then after this – in fact, just so you know, this is the same microphone, same board, everything – that I've previously guest hosted Dan Bongino's radio show on from 12 to three nationwide. So when I would do that, I would do it from right here in this room. And in fact, coming up later today at 12 to three Eastern, I will be, I will be doing the show from here, the radio show.
My chimp asks, can I live in that room? My chimp, No, I'm sorry you can't. But thank you for asking. That's really, really nice of you. Delilah3933 saying it's a beautiful studio, Vince. Thank you for that. And then Joe Daddy encouraging me to come down to Florida. Florida is awesome. Yeah, I've got family that live in Florida. I love Florida.
And actually, this is the perfect time of year to be down there in that studio. The truth is, I'm just here. The reason I've decided to stay here, it's my family. I've got a 10-year-old. And she's in school and we're keeping her in school with her friends. Don't worry, not in any of the government schools. We're not stupid. Uh, but, uh, we're, uh, that's, that's the arrangement from now.
Can I envision myself down in Florida, hanging out with the boys at Silverlock all the time instead of just talking to them remotely through an earpiece? Um, yes, I can. And, uh, I had a great week when we were down there week one. Uh, hopefully we'll get back to doing that again soon. But again, during the, the better months temperature wise, I'm at the thick of summer. Come on.
You're going to track me down there. No, not going to happen. Winter. Yeah. That, that sounds really great. I love Florida for the winter. Okay. Let me see. I've got the stuff that's going on right now with the markets. So just to give you, let me see if I can pull up CNBC for you. So just to show you the ticker right now at this moment, it says, yeah, the Dow is down.
Well, it's actually down 1.38%. So it's actually bounced up a bit since this morning. Take a look at that. The Dow is down 1.3%, 1.6 right now at the time that we're talking today. And so, yeah, the markets are going through some upheaval right now. And the reason for that, there's a bunch of reasons for it, but one of them is President Trump, they think he's serious about the tariff stuff.
And he is serious. If you've watched any of the president's remarks over the weekend or any of the people who are representing the president of the United States, they keep saying, hey, he's not playing around. He really, really means this. He's very, very serious. So let me start with cut one here. This is the president of the United States. He's talking to some reporter. I don't know.
I think she's with Bloomberg, actually, because he ends up asking her, where are you from? And she's like, I'm with Bloomberg. And then he's just super annoyed by her. And she asks whether or not he's intentionally tanking the markets. And he says, this is a very stupid question. Take a look.
Already in place. Now, what's going to happen with the market? I can't tell you, but I can tell you our country has gotten a lot stronger. And eventually, it'll be a country like no other. It'll be the most dominant country economically in the world, which is what it should be.
