I’ve lived in Texas for 45 years. No one outside of Austin knew who the hell Gina Hinojosa was. And you’re telling me she beat a multi-term incumbent, who won his last election by double digits, by a big margin in Texas. That math ain’t mathing

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

Many thanks to everyone who has expressed concern for us.
To clear things up, we’ve decided to take some time off after decades of touring because we need a break.
Not for health reasons.
We’ll play our November shows and then take our first break in 50 years.
Thank you for all your support!

Same exact message.
Still true today.
Maybe more than ever.
BONGINO: “They will never change. They are COMMIES. They care about POWER.
They have one rule of justice We're in charge and you're not middle finger D bags. That's their rule. The only way to stop them is to do what we did is to remove them from power and hope some third-party listening understands our argument that these people are the real threat to democracy. That's why I do what I do every single day.”
