Joe Rogan Blows the Mind of a Guest by Comparing Mamdani’s NYC Budget to the Budget for the Entire State of Florida (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Joe Rogan blew the mind of a guest during a recent episode of his podcast by simply comparing Zohran Mamdani’s budget for New York City to the budget for the entire state of Florida.

Florida has three times as many people as New York City but operates on a much leaner budget than the Big Apple.

The guest is podcaster and writer Michael Malice, who has his face painted for some reason, perhaps for Halloween.

Partial transcript via the Vigilant Fox:

ROGAN: “You see, Mamdani is trying to figure out a way to use his budget. His budget is higher than the budget of the entire state of Florida, which has three times more people.”

MALICE: “No, it’s not. Is it really?”

ROGAN: “Yes, it is. Yeah.”

MALICE: “No way!”

ROGAN: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look it up… New York City’s budget… is more than the budget for the entire state of Florida, which has roughly three times as many people living in it.”

MALICE: “Holy… is that true, Jamie?”

ROGAN (reading): “Eye-popping amount… insider called ‘insanity’… a record $127 billion budget proposal… The socialist city leader’s plan includes a whopping 9.5% proposed property tax hike on New Yorkers, which he claims would be a last resort, while allocating another $1.2 billion for migrants. MIGRANTS!”

MALICE: “What’s the Florida budget, Jamie?”

[Malice sees the numbers]

MALICE: “HOLY SH*T!”

ROGAN: “Yeah, triple per capita. So the Florida House budget is $113.6 billion to $115 billion (proposed), and the New York proposal is $127 billion. So it is more.”

MALICE: “Holy crap!”

CONTEXT: New York City’s current budget is $125,800,000,000 for about 8.5 million people. Florida’s is $117,600,000,000 for about 23 million.

That’s roughly $14,800 per New Yorker versus $5,100 per Floridian.

See the video below:

Isn’t it incredible that New York City has that kind of budget and it’s STILL not enough for Mamdani?

He actually wants to raise taxes to bring in more.

He can’t find a single wasteful program to cut? Not even one?

Undecided Michigan Voter Says It’s a ‘TURN OFF’ to See Obama Campaigning for Abdul El-Sayed (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Abdul El-Sayed has a black voter problem in Michigan. It first became apparent during the Democrat primary but it has persisted for him.

Lots of black voters in the state just don’t seem to like him and are crossing over to vote for Republican Mike Rogers.

This is why the Democrats have sent former President Obama to the state to campaign for him and other Democrats, but even that doesn’t seem to be working.

In the video below, an undecided voter who is black, tells a reporter that seeing Obama campaign for El-Sayed is a ‘turn off’ for her.

Is the Obama magic completely gone?

More details from Eric Daugherty:

An undecided Michigan voter STUNS the left, saying Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed bringing in Barack Hussein Obama to campaign for him today is a total “TURN OFF”

“No, honestly, it’s a turn off.”

“Just because I’ve seen too many candidates use him just to manipulate the Democratic vote. I’m not 100% sold on Abdul!”

Rightfully so.

Democrats keep wheeling out Hussein in the final stretch every cycle thinking voters won’t notice they are being played!

They do this EVERY TIME — and only where they’re desperate

Michigan citizens see right through the Hussein rescue tour.

They KNOW Abdul going full jihadist and socialist is horrible for their communities

Here’s the video:

The left is pushing very hard for El-Sayed because he is a test case for them.

They think that if Abdul El-Sayed can win in Michigan, that they can push these types of candidates anywhere else in the country.

The Nevada Supreme Court Refuses to Rule on the Voters’ Right to Verify Their Vote is Counted

The Nevada Supreme Court Refuses to Rule on the Voters’ Right to Verify Their Vote is Counted

Update on Nevada Supreme Court Case 93319

Voters across the country are denied by design the right to verify the only ballot that matters: the ballot that actually gets counted. In electronic tabulation your votes are computed from an electronic “version” of your ballot, a version you are never allowed to see. If you cannot see it, you cannot verify it before it’s counted.

This matters immensely because the explicit design of electronic tabulation completely rejects voter oversight of what goes into the count. The count determines results, and the design of electronic tabulation denies any and all voters the opportunity to personally confirm that their votes are exactly what is being counted. Rather, you are forced to assume it. Federal law, so we are told, is there to “help” Americans “feel confident” that their votes are counted accurately. But this is not so. Besides the fact that those who are not Americans are routinely voting, Americans are forbidden the opportunity to ensure that their votes–which are their commands–are in fact obeyed

A hand-counted paper process can help make the problem with electronic tabulation controlling the counting of the votes even clearer: in a hand count, the very paper voted on is the very paper counted. In that process, the voter can see that the paper they cast is exactly the same as what is read into the count. This cannot happen in electronic tabulation. Even if paper ballots are used in your state–and this includes mailed ballots–the paper only supplies a later scan. After the paper is surrendered and the scan is finished, we are forced to assume that accurate data is generated, if any relevant data at all, to supply the count and reveal the results.

Yet federal law (the Help America Vote Act, HAVA) commands that voters be able to verify their ballot before it is counted.

Electronic tabulation prevents that verification: because between the casting and counting of your ballot it injects the creation of an electronic version of your ballot. You can only assume your vote is counted because the design forbids you to see the thing that gets counted, if it gets counted at all let alone counted accurately. This injection of the unseen ballot makes any verification performed on the paper irrelevant and meaningless. But it is not harmless. Without verification, voters are denied oversight. Without oversight, we are made mere spectators in a theater of elections only, a theater built and maintained by tyrants. Sound familiar?

What then is the value of “verifying” a ballot that is not counted? It has no value to the voter. It does have great value to our enemies, both foreign and domestic. That value is the maintenance of the illusion of integrity in our elections, making them nothing more than a massive con job, until We the People choose to demand otherwise. We are living in the time of the Great Election Illusion. Americans are being entertained by election theater while America’s foundation is burning. The question is, what are we going to do about it?

In the June 2026 Primary, I asked to verify that the scanner got it right. I was denied, and so I sued. Nevada law says that voters must be allowed to verify and correct their choices before a ballot is “cast and counted.” The question is therefore simple: does checking the paper that does exist and does not get counted verify an electronic record the voter must assume exists and must assume gets counted? The answer is no.

It is impossible to verify something unseen and before it even exists! But eight judges in black robes have determined that you do not have the right to even see a ballot that actually gets counted. Voter oversight has been declared dead by a judiciary that seems to prefer tyranny.

On October 15, all seven justices of the Nevada Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the judgment against me in the lower court. The Court called the law’s requirement—that election systems allow voters to verify their votes before ballots are “cast and counted”—a “term of art.” In effect, it rewrote the law to excuse the ruling that denies voters the verification right the statute mandates. Unable to explain how it is possible for a voter to verify a ballot they have never seen–because it is not possible, the panel of seven judges decided to reduce the law instead of reading the law and let it speak its command. They silenced the law so they did not have to hear the law.

But wait, there’s more! They silenced the law and they also silenced me. They took the words they seem not to want to hear and replaced them with the words they did. My words were precise: I want to verify the one record that gets counted. The Nevada Supreme Court (The Censoring Seven) took them and turned them into “he wants to have a second look on a record inside the machine.” The difference is subtle but consequential. I asked for one look, a look at the record that is counted, as the law says I can. That claim they did not defeat, and they changed what I asked into this: a second look–a look the law says nothing about. Doing this gave them an argument they could win. They moved the goalposts to create the conditions and claims they could defeat. It’s peevish and childish, unbecoming of those with power.

The Censoring Seven not only rewrote the law and legislated from their bench, but they also reasoned backward to reach their absurd conclusions. The law that commands voter verification is to define what the election process must include. The law is supposed to control the kinds of options the State would choose, rejecting systems that do not allow voter verification of the record that gets counted. The law is to restrain the extent of the election system, not the other way around.

But here they reversed the order and went backward, telling the law what it should say because the permitted system would not be changed. They argued that the electronic record is created and counted so fast that it was unreasonable to ask to see it. The request would cause a delay the system could not tolerate. But that is exactly backward, making the permitted election system govern the extent of the mandate of law. If the system operates so a voter cannot see it then that system is what is unreasonable, not the voter’s request. (But remember, the claim was not asking to see inside the machine as a second look. It was to see and verify the record that gets counted. This matters because the command to let the voter verify is supreme to the statute that gives permission to use electronic counting.) They treated the statute’s permission to use electronic tabulation as the preeminent measure for what the law would be allowed to say, going so far as to erase language from the law from their bench so it would no longer have a voice. The effect of censoring that voice is to silence ours.

On October 16, a Petition for Rehearing was filed asking the Court to reconsider its ruling: a “term of art” label cannot erase law, and the equipment’s design cannot mute the law that governs it.

The petition also places a federal question before the Censoring Seven: Does the Help America Vote Act permit a voter to verify paper that is only scanned and not counted, when a different electronic record, never seen or corrected by the voter, is counted?

If the Nevada Supreme Court’s final decision resolves the meaning of federal law, I may ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review it through a petition for certiorari. Federal law allows the Court to review qualifying final decisions from a state’s highest court when a federal statute is at issue. This petition preserves only a possible path to that review. It does not guarantee the U.S. Supreme Court will take the case.

The fight goes on, and your vote is our weapon!

REPORT: Senior Democrats Are Already Trying to ‘Temper Expectations’ Over the Midterms

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Senior figures in the Democrat Party are reportedly already trying to temper the expectations of supporters over the midterms. What does that tell you? Have they looked at some bad internal polling?

Leftists are expecting a blue wave election. What happens if the Republicans keep the Senate and the Democrats win the House by only a small margin? What if the Republicans keep both the House and Senate?

You will see a lot of angry Democrats out there if either of those scenarios play out and they will be looking for people to blame.

And mind you, this is not coming from a conservative outlet.

It’s from Politico:

Senior Democrats are tempering their expectations about how big of a House majority they might win, as both parties see a tightening battlefield.

The latest rounds of internal polling from both parties from the middle of October show GOP candidates gaining ground in the Midwest and narrowing races in a key Colorado seat and elsewhere, according to six people familiar with the data who were granted anonymity to discuss it. Republicans’ deluge of money also seems to be helping shore up some imperiled Florida seats even as they face serious problems in North Carolina and Texas. The GOP gerrymandered those three states in their favor in the Trump-induced round of redistricting following the 2024 election.

Now, Democrats on Capitol Hill are starting to privately caution some of their bolder colleagues that it seems very possible they don’t hit the 235-seat height of their majority following the 2018 elections, according to one of those people and two others with direct knowledge of the conversations.

“I don’t think anyone ever believed we were going to have 2018 numbers,” one House Democrat said. “I honestly think the results are going to be all over the place. Caution seems smart to me. But, optimistic is also a good place to be.”…

Some Democrats feel their own internal polling is over-indexing their strength in some cases, according to two other operatives working on competitive races, granted anonymity to speak candidly.

This guy makes an excellent point.

If Democrats lose everything, we will be in for quite a show.

Trump Energy Secretary Wants U.S. Oil Refineries Back Up and Running to Ease Pain at Gas Pumps

Industrial oil refinery with smoke emissions and large structures under a cloudy sky, showcasing complex machinery and environmental impact.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Trump administration is working to reopen shuttered U.S. oil refineries and expand capacity, which officials say would bring down the price of fuel.

Speaking in Houston, Wright said that officials are exploring restarts at multiple closed plants, according to a report from Reuters.

“We are talking about reopening every refinery we can,” he said. “There are dialogues there, and that’s a tough challenge. I’m not saying all these are going to happen.”

Wright explained that the Trump administration is contacting owners of every refinery shut down in the past decade to determine which sites present the most workable restart options.

The administration also announced it will make up to $150 million available under Title III of the Defense Production Act for projects that expand petroleum production, storage, and logistics at refineries nationwide.

The Department of Energy said the funding is meant to lift domestic refining output by millions of gallons per day, improving supply and helping lower costs for households and businesses.

Wright cast the effort as a break from prior policy.

“After 17 years of Democrat leaders enacting energy subtraction policies that led to the closure of refineries and more expensive refined oil products, the Trump Administration is taking action to expand our nation’s refining capacity and strengthen our energy security,” he said.

“Thanks to President Trump, America is producing more oil and gas than ever before and thanks to President Trump, we will soon be producing more refined products as well. These Defense Production Act funds will be used strategically and in partnership with private industry to rapidly bolster America’s existing energy infrastructure.”

The funding rests on a determination by President Trump that petroleum production, refining, and related activities are essential to national defense.

It follows a $1 billion appropriation for energy-related national security work included in legislation signed last year. Vice President J.D. Vance has previously cited the same authority as a tool for expanding capacity at a Texas refinery owned by Delek US Holdings.

Most U.S. refineries are already running near full capacity, with the American Petroleum Institute reporting utilization rates of 95 percent to 100 percent.

Recent closures include Valero’s 145,000-barrel-per-day plant in Benicia, California; Phillips 66’s 139,000-barrel-per-day Los Angeles complex; and LyondellBasell’s 264,000-barrel-per-day Houston facility.

Wright has called a restart of the Benicia site especially difficult because of California’s business climate.

Fuel prices have risen amid disruptions linked to the Iran conflict and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries.

AAA data cited in multiple reports show national averages above $6 per gallon for diesel and above $4 per gallon for regular gasoline.

The administration has also pursued additional supply by working with refiners abroad, including in India, while easing certain diesel restrictions and coordinating emergency stockpile releases.

WATCH: Trump Slams Wall Street Journal Reporter for Ignoring Corruption in Blue States and Democrats with Epstein – “You Guys Are Worse Than Anybody”

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump speak to reporters after voting in the 2026 election – October 24, 2026

President Trump on Saturday tore into a Wall Street Journal reporter while voting in Palm Beach, Florida, slamming the outlet as “worse than anybody” after the reporter tried to corner him on government corruption. 

Trump voted with First Lady Melania Trump on Saturday before speaking to reporters during his trip to the polls.

The President gave reporters a thumbs-up while walking into the polling place:

Trump slammed the outlet for ignoring corruption in blue states, while focusing all of their time and efforts on his administration.

“Polls also show that government corruption is shot to the top of voter concerns this election. Why do you think that is?” the reporter asked Trump.

“Well, because the Democrats are very corrupt,” Trump responded.

“To me, corruption is one of the biggest things. If you look at Minnesota, if you look at Los Angeles, if you look at New York, the corruption is rampant. And to me, corruption is a very big factor.”

As the reporter tried to ask a follow-up, Trump asked who he writes for and went on to slam the outlet.

“You guys are worse than anybody,” Trump said, adding that the Journal “lost its way.”

“There’s massive corruption that you don’t cover on the Democrat side, and you should, because you ought to look at Minnesota, you ought to look at Maine, you ought to look at Los Angeles, because we are straight and we are solid,” Trump added.

“But you ought to look at the real corruption. It’s Democrat corruption, and that includes Jeffrey Epstein, all Democrats involved.”

Epstein became a major focus of the Trump administration after former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s mishandling of the Epstein files made it appear that the Trump administration was complicit in his crimes, despite Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to and support for Democrats.

WATCH:

President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law last November, forcing the DOJ to release all files related to the Epstein investigation, but critics say the law has not been fully complied with.

(VIDEO) Trump Speaks to Reporters After Casting 2026 Ballot, Says 20,000 to 1 MILLION Illegal Votes Found in California Primary

President Trump speaks to reporters after voting in the 2026 election – October 24, 2026

President Trump voted on Saturday and told reporters that “potentially hundreds of thousands” have been discovered by law enforcement in California and that as one million illegal votes were cast in the primary election. 

Trump was seen entering the polling location to cast an early in-person ballot with First Lady Melania Trump on Saturday.

The President gave reporters a thumbs-up while walking into the polling place:

Afterward, President Trump and First Lady Trump walked out of the voting booth and took questions from reporters.

Asked about fraudulent polling in the upcoming election, Trump equated the fake polls to fake votes, telling reporters, “We found a lot of discrepancies, bad ones, big ones.”

He then highlighted recent findings by the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles that “more than 20,000 people who are likely aliens are registered to vote in California.”

“In Los Angeles, as you know, they have 20,000 votes, and it could be as high as a million votes,” Trump said.

“20,000 is just a little bit, and that had to do with the past election, not this current election. The U.S. attorney found potentially hundreds of thousands of illicit votes.”

WATCH:

This comes after Los Angeles Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt’s stolen primary election, where Democratic Socialist Nythia Raman miraculously overcame Pratt nearly a week after election day as the so-called “late-arriving” mail-in ballots were flooded into the count.

Republican California Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton will face Democrat Xavier Becerra in the general election for governor, which will likely also be flooded with illegal votes.

NEW: RINO Lisa Murkowski Attacks Trump Over Alaska Election Lawsuit – “Should Never Have Filed This Lawsuit”

RINO Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has joined forces with the Democrats again in opposing the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against the Democrats’ dirty trick in the Alaska Senate race. 

The controversy centers on Daniel J. Sullivan, who ran in the Senate primary as a Republican and is now running in the general election as a no-party-affiliated candidate after receiving just 2.5% of the vote.

The scheme is intended to confuse voters into voting for the wrong Dan Sullivan, giving Democrat Mary Peltola a victory in the solid red state.

The DOJ on Friday sued to block certification of Alaska’s Senate race if the Democrats’ decoy, Daniel J. Sullivan, causes incumbent Senator Dan S. Sullivan to lose.

The lawsuit argues that “some supporters of Senator Sullivan likely will inadvertently vote for Daniel J. Sullivan.”

“To guard against this danger, it is vital that Defendants not certify any election result that may be impacted by voter confusion,” the filing says.

The DOJ seeks to prevent certification of the results if “(1) Senator Sullivan does not win the election; and (2) had all votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan been cast instead for Senator Sullivan and Alaska’s rank-choice process played out accordingly, Senator Sullivan would have won the election.”

Now, the Democrats are fighting back, represented by Marc Elias’ Elias Law Group.

And they don’t need to look far for Republican support, as anti-Trump RINO Lisa Murkowski, the senior Senator from Alaska, is already on board.

She released a statement this morning, decrying the Department of Justice’s lawsuit and claiming that “Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates.”

“The State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot,” she said.

“The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.”

President weighed in on the DOJ’s lawsuit on Friday, telling reporters, “I’m the one that said do it.”
