On this episode of The Bongino Army, we remember the brave St. George Floyd, talk about the Democratic Party s campaign to honor him, and talk about how much money the party is spending to win back young men.
00:02:20.000Welcome to the Rumble lineup, live weekdays, 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. Eastern, and that's going to be expanding here.
00:02:28.000This month, before summer, with a few new shows to be added, you don't need to change that dial, you get whisked right into the next show.
00:02:35.000Of course, we welcome the Bongino Army, now many of you coming in from Vince, which comes from Vincente in Latin, and all the Romance languages are based in Latin, which translates roughly to, I am rubber, you are glue.
00:02:49.000But they don't finish the phrase in Latin, which is weird, so it's just a saying that doesn't, I don't know, who am I to question?
00:02:57.000Today, we are going to be remembering the brave Saint George Floyd, because that's what's going around.
00:03:02.000And we're going to give you all of the information that the media maybe hasn't filled you in on, and a few extra tidbits that will be grossly offensive.
00:03:12.000Also, the Democrats right now, they're planning and they're spending a lot of money to win back young men.
00:03:18.000They realize that they have lost young men.
00:03:19.000That's a phrase that's coming out of my mouth.
00:03:21.000It's almost hard to believe because I'm from the millennial generation where, of course, everything was by default left.
00:03:27.000Young men, particularly young Hispanic men, hate Democrats and they still can't figure out why.
00:03:32.000Might I suggest the Democrat Party include pictures of some quite firm breasts.
00:03:38.000Also, Donald Trump, President Trump, is going to be taking on Apple, bringing some manufacturing back.
00:03:42.000There's good, there's bad, but mostly good.
00:08:04.000Well, on Memorial Day, the Chicago mayor, who looks like a failed megachurch pastor, Brandon Johnson, wished his citizens, not a He wished them, and I know what you're thinking, we're in the United States.
00:08:46.000And right here in Chicago, our proud African communities have made indelible contributions Let us take a moment to celebrate the achievements of the people of Africa.
00:12:20.000So in this idea of non-colonized Africa, they're the most advanced civilization on Earth, but the music he's listening to is still drums and leaves?
00:15:05.000It's a slower news day and So that means we're going to have...
00:15:17.000I also love how the Sovali pirates, I love how they couldn't, you know, leather neck comes from, I was with David Barton and he showed me the actual leather necks that they put on the Marines, because they were decapitating them.
00:15:28.000And a leather turtleneck screwed their whole plan.
00:15:48.000All the greats have the calling cards.
00:15:51.000By the way, the best way to follow this, because there's no way that you'll ever see this on YouTube or other social platforms, is to download the Rumble app.
00:20:52.000I have never actually put together an entire meal myself, like, in my house.
00:20:56.000I've done some things, like, I'll do some things in the oven, but as far as, like, this dish going, this pan, this pot, and I'll grill some meat, and I'll make some rice, and that's about as much as I can do.
00:21:05.000And I really know my way around a barbecue.
00:21:07.000That being said, how lazy and how little of an effort would you have to be applying throughout your life to not know how to boil water?
00:22:14.000You know, he was mourned by a lot of people in the community who didn't know about him whatsoever until this was ginned up to be a national controversy.
00:22:22.000He was given quite an elaborate funeral where Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry broke down in what some would say.
00:22:30.000Were not really proportional tears to the occasion.
00:28:05.000St. George Floyd Jr.'s impact, of course, on his community, which will be felt, really, for many, many, many years to come.
00:28:13.000And by that, I mean 1,500 businesses destroyed, $500 million in damages, just really in his home state alone in the Twin Cities.
00:28:20.000And if you just look at the black communities who, of course, rallied around them, 334 storefronts in the largely black area of Lake Street, Minneapolis, they were boarded up within one year after the riots.
00:28:35.000Well, within a year, and then I think, I don't know if they were being looted afterwards, I know within one year there was 300-something businesses that had been boarded up.
00:28:42.000You had black businesses being looted nationwide.
00:30:25.000And we were told that that's what it was.
00:30:26.000We were told, in other words, when they say, hey, we need change.
00:30:28.000The change is predicated on this idea of we have an epidemic of driving while black being shaken down and black men being beaten by cops, period.
00:30:38.000But why don't we have any examples of that?
00:30:47.000Mike Brown knocked over a local bodega, liquor store, whatever you want to call it, then reached for Darren Wilson's gun and punched him in the head.
00:30:55.000Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, go through them.
00:31:00.000And at best, you argue, well, this is someone who was clearly in the process of committing a crime or who had a very long criminal history and things maybe went sideways.
00:31:09.000If there was a single example of what we have been told is the pandemic, meaning the Instead, we have George Floyd.
00:31:23.000And that is the reason for the change.
00:31:26.000But instead of the change, what do we get?
00:32:03.000*Piano plays* They ended up being more dramatic than funny, we thought, but here's the thing.
00:32:21.000It gives you an A or B. Hey, this is what George Floyd would have wanted, in which case he's a horrible person, or this has nothing to do with George Floyd, in which case your communities are filled with horrible people.
00:32:35.000And by your communities, I mean largely black cities in this country that are egged on by Democrat mayors, in many cases, black mayors.
00:32:43.000These are places that have been controlled.
00:32:53.000Fun fact, too, we know that George Floyd didn't die from a knee to the neck, not just because of the he said, she said in court, but because George Clooney said that if the lawyer, I believe representing Derek Chauvin, was willing to allow a man to kneel on his neck for the same amount of time as George Floyd, that he would personally, he would personally campaign.
00:34:06.000You know, Legacy Media had corporate sponsors where you basically have to do Raytheon's bidding.
00:34:10.000And now you have a bunch of, unfortunately, new media podcasts that have so many sponsors, they also have to be careful and tiptoe around it.
00:36:33.000I remember that with him throwing out the first pitch in a way that he thought somebody was like five feet away from him because that's how far the ball went.
00:36:54.000In this last election, and I've told you this, you can go back to me when I was 22, 23, saying, look, young people tend to become more conservative as they grow older, as they have families, as they pay taxes, as they sort of accrue more responsibilities.
00:37:06.000But if you could just mitigate your losses with people under the age of 35 to 10 percent and kept everything else the same, you'd never lose another election again.
00:37:17.000I didn't expect people to begin voting, as far as a majority, Republican, under the age of 30. I thought they would become more conservative.
00:37:26.000I didn't think that you would see that big of a switch.
00:37:28.000And comment, if you guys, if you're a millennial like me, everything was liberal by default.
00:37:35.000They were hippies and they became more conservative.
00:37:41.000Millennials, everything was Bush as a Nazi.
00:37:43.000Of course, Barack Obama, he's this transcendent political hero.
00:37:47.000I thought, all right, well, that's just something.
00:37:48.000You're not going to win back until these people start paying taxes and move up in the corporate world.
00:37:52.000I didn't know just how bad the consequences were for Democrats with Gen Z men browbeating them.
00:38:00.000Guilting them, demanding they check their privilege while creating an economy that is entirely unsustainable for them with no prospects of future.
00:38:09.000It also tells you when you look at this young men voting overwhelmingly conservative, certainly young Hispanic men, it means that free stuff isn't working.
00:38:20.000Forgiving your student loans, that's not enough.
00:38:22.000Rent forgiveness, that's a really good thing because that means that you have a generation of people who've effectively, it's effectively white noise.
00:38:28.000Legacy media doesn't matter to them at all.
00:38:34.000Just look at Taylor Swift and look at their followership, and it still didn't move the needle.
00:38:40.000If anything, it went the other way with young men.
00:38:42.000And if you're, question to millennials if you're surprised by this, and then young Gen Z men, please comment below when you became conservative and why.
00:38:53.000There are a lot of reasons, you know, a lot of people are studying this, psychologists, sociologists, I think there's some rebellion aspect, but I also just think, look, people are looking at the state of the country saying, yeah, Democrats have never delivered on the lie that they promised.
00:39:06.000And so now the Democrats are actually putting together a plan and spending tens of millions of dollars to try and win back young voters.
00:39:24.000The midterms fast approaching and the full six months after November's electoral drubbing, the Democratic Party appears to still be in fact-finding mode.
00:39:33.000The New York Times reports that party donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters.
00:40:28.000So Sam is going to cost $20 million and it, quote, promises investment to study the syntax, language, and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces, meaning young male voters.
00:41:26.000First off, 68% of Gen Z men said that the economy was the number one issue.
00:41:30.000But it also tells you that the illegal immigration issue, it doesn't register for young Hispanic or Latino males in this country.
00:41:40.000And I don't know how Democrats win them back.
00:41:42.000Because if you are now, let's say, your second, third generation immigrant, you're here in the United States, you're a young Hispanic male, young Latino male, you're being raised here, there's no promise to you.
00:41:53.000Of getting citizenship, you already have it.
00:41:55.000It also tells you that the left, in promising, for example, to black people reparations, affirmative action, black zones that they talk about, black community reinvestments, none of that is being promised to legal Hispanic males.
00:42:11.000And so now you have basically people who are not being promised a handout whatsoever because of their race, young Hispanic males.
00:42:18.000Yeah, that then you combine that with traditional values with a lot of these family units and valuing masculinity.
00:43:12.000When you see young, working class, as I said, working class, okay, working class, meaning contributing, paying taxes, trying to make a life for their family, you find Hispanic males, young Latino males, and young white males, there is no racial divide.
00:43:27.000In other words, the American spirit of American exceptionalism, the land of opportunity, hey, You now see, once you're no longer playing divide and conquer, young Hispanic males are basically promised the same thing that young white males are.
00:44:14.000Well, they have black fatigue as a thing now, as far as Black Lives Matter, as far as reparations, as far as restorative justice, as far as critical race theory.
00:45:20.000To everyone celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility, I want you to know that your president sees you.
00:45:26.000And we're committed to advancing transgender equality in the classroom, on the playing field, at work, in our military, in our housing and healthcare systems, everywhere.
00:45:48.000Millennial men, they saw all these sob stories of, oh, wait a second, this gay couple, wait, one's in the death but can't put his partner, his friction partner into his will?
00:47:08.000And so you saw an entire generation vote in Barack Obama, the savior, Barack Obama, and now you've seen more overwhelming control from the Democrat Party where they control everything from your future prospects, affirmative action, DEI, to your language, hate speech laws.
00:47:22.000And so young people now are not saying, hey, what happens if I vote in the cool Democrats?
00:50:54.000When we grew up, you had plenty of female characters, and you had plenty of male characters, and you had plenty of white characters and black characters.
00:50:59.000I mean, if you were to look at the top shows when we grew up, we've talked about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
00:51:28.000You had Macaulay Culkin, but the mom was primarily the main character.
00:51:31.000In other words, it was pretty balanced.
00:51:33.000You may say that it wasn't, but it was, and it wasn't something that we all had to think about at all times and have all confidence And so when you look at where we are now, you see the gender swaps and the racial swaps.
00:51:48.000You've now made people aware of something that maybe they didn't even have a problem with before.
00:53:44.000True literally and metaphorical as well.
00:53:46.000Well, this brings us to the next point.
00:53:48.000I guess it's point three or point four with young Gen Z men.
00:53:51.000It's pretty hard to blame people, men, namely.
00:53:56.000Namely white men, but Hispanic men are throwing their lot in there because you're not promising them a bunch of freebies either, assuming they're here legally.
00:54:01.000It's pretty hard to blame them for all of society'sills and tell them that there is nothing they can actually do to correct it short of...
00:54:12.000It's the constant vilification of masculinity.
00:54:38.000Which is to say, speaking up in the face of, you know, abuse, you know, whether it's, you know, your friends of yours making derogatory comments or online spaces where guys are being really disrespectful to girls or women and calling them out and saying, hey, that's not cool.
00:55:34.000Trump and all his MAGA buddies are out there making it worse, shouting nonsense in their stupid red hats and acting like they speak for us when they don't.
00:55:43.000I feel like really bummed that the right wing is like really dooming a lot of little boys, trying to doom a lot of little boys into unhappiness and like conditioning a lot of men into loneliness.
00:57:23.000And I do believe that you should be free to love who you want, but I also see some value in the nuclear family in rearing I am a young man, okay?
00:57:34.000I don't want to be one of the bad ones, but I do believe that men and women are inherently different, and we probably excel in different roles.
00:57:39.000Well, then you just can't be among us.
00:57:43.000And, I mean, just proof positive of this is, look at their vice chair, the DNC, David Hogg, who, by the way, just recently, in a PR attempt, swapped brains with an actual man in the latest documentary.
00:57:54.000Yeah, and that's just, look, I don't want to see it.
00:58:22.000I think what Republicans, what conservatives need to do, because for so long I've been saying, we have to go after the black vote, we have to go after it.
00:58:30.000You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who can say that there was a really concerted effort to win young Hispanic men this last election from Republicans, and certainly not enough to counteract the rhetoric of, hey, we need to get rid of illegal aliens and Democrats saying that means all brown people, right?
00:58:45.000And they overwhelmingly naturally veered towards Trump and Republicans.
00:59:03.000It wasn't popular when Donald Trump said they're not sending their best and brightest.
00:59:07.000Back then, that was basically like a calling for another Reich.
00:59:11.000And they naturally, even look with young black men, they tend to vote as a monolith because of NGOs and because of lobbyists and because of affirmative action.
00:59:18.000They tend to vote overwhelmingly Democrat, but they still, young black men, veered significantly more conservative.
00:59:24.000Without being pandered to, I don't think the answer for conservatives is to go, okay, we have young men now, or young white and Hispanic men, now we need to bring in another group.
00:59:33.000No, I think you need to keep doing this.
01:00:25.000And as women get absorbed into those units, which they find out are actually better for them than the lie of becoming a boss girl, they'll become more conservative.
01:01:14.000Do what you're doing because we know the results will speak for themselves.
01:01:17.000And people right now are opening their eyes to the lie, especially after COVID, especially after George Floyd, the summer of love, especially after everything that we've said, the 2020 election.
01:01:26.000This is something that you couldn't have created in a lab or with a Frank Luntz focus group and his toupee and silly little sneakers where you say, hey, how do we reach?
