So I think President Trump slayed it yesterday at the UN General Assembly up in New York. I've got some clips from that, but I want to put them in context of why.
What exactly did he do at the UN, and what political, he has political instincts like no one else. What political tactics and techniques did he use, advertently or inadvertently, that I think made this speech so powerful? I think that's an important conversation that was missing from some of the coverage yesterday. Why? Snapshots, soundbites, contrasts, these are all things we can use going forward as activists. I've got that. However, I do want to cover the other side of this as well, because I want to give you a realistic take going into the midterms of why some people on our side, the Republican side, the MAGA side, forget the liberals. They just hate the country and they complain all the time. I'm not talking about all Democrats, but the commie left. They just want to see the country burn. Forget them.
Why are some people on our side upset despite the factually, objectively correct, accurate data that the border's been fixed for the first time in 50 plus years, jobless rates the lowest, poverty rates the lowest, crimes the lowest. Why are people upset, understandably? Why are some people upset? I'm going to play a clip at the beginning of the show that I think is one of the best explanations as to why.
It's my job to give you both sides. I still think we got a decent shot at the midterms, but we have to be candid with each other. Some people, and I'm not talking about the do-mers and the pill. They have an agenda. I'm talking about regular, average, every day working people busting their asses. We're like, hey, I just don't feel it. Fair enough. But I'll explain what I think is going on with this clip. I think it's going to nail it. I just saw, you know, I was just coming in here, guys, to do the show. I'm watching TV, and a commercial came off for this medication with Monica Seles. You remember Monica Seles, the tennis player? I used to work at the US Open for a long time, and I worked there for like five years. I was a crowd controller, a security guy, and I escorted Monica Seles around once as a young kid. I don't know how old I was. I was like 18 I thought it was like the greatest day of my life. I couldn't believe it.
I felt like so important back then.
I got a picture with her too. I'm going to find that picture. I'm going to find that picture and put it on the show. It was like the greatest picture. Look at this. I got a picture with Monica Seles. Why am I telling you? I don't know. It's the Bongino Army family. You should know everything. All right. Big show for you today. A lot to talk about.
