Dan Bongino is Leaving (Ep.146)
One, it's my fault. So I did tell Avita, you know how I am about time. Me and you were like, if you're five minutes early, you're 10 minutes late. So I obviously we're dealing with a lot of logistics stuff since last night, but I just want to take this opportunity on a Vita show. I know she gave you kind of an update on what's happening. I'll give you a more complete rundown on my show.

We had a long conversation last night, but I wanted to thank you for being a friend first, you and your family, both you and Michael. You guys are amazing. Nothing's going to stop, as she told you, with Evita's show. Everything is status quo there. Evita's her own separate show product. You guys know her. You love her. I'll explain more later. And just hang in there, Bongino Army.

What is your program for staying happy? You know, I'm not a happy guy. No, I'm not. I love my wife a lot. I talk about her all the time in the show. She's become kind of a semi-celebrity just from my show and her like crazy date night stories. But you know, You ever read the book, The Natural? Not the movie. The movie's good. The book, the Malamud book.

And there's a line where Roy Hobbs' girlfriend says to Roy, you know, that we all live two lives, the one we learn from and the one we live after that. That's a great line, but it's the second part she says that really matters. She says the real path to happiness is through suffering. And she's right.

Dan Bongino is Leaving (Ep.146)
Now, there's a lot of like biochemical reasons beyond the scope of this conversation that I won't bore you with about dopamine and all this other crap. But God gave you a really intricate happiness reward system. But the only way to access it so that it feels good, that really feels good, that it's deep, not liberal happiness, coke, blow, crack, drinking, heroin, whatever.
Bongino Report Early Edition with Evita
Dan Bongino is Leaving (Ep.146)
I'm talking about true happiness where you feel you can die one day satisfied Make no mistake and listen to what I'm telling you. This is the best advice you're ever going to get. Not because it came from me, because someone gave it to me and it was genius. It's only through suffering.

Dan Bongino is Leaving (Ep.146)
So people ask me, like, I joke about this cold plunge thing I have, which sucks in the morning, like nothing you've ever seen. You ever jump in 40 degree water at six in the morning and every morning and just sit there and freeze? You know why I do it? Anyone have any idea? Because it sucks. That's why. That's why I do it. Because it sucks. No, I'm serious.
Bongino Report Early Edition with Evita
Dan Bongino is Leaving (Ep.146)
Yeah, there's cold shock proteins and all this stuff. Your brain is intricately wired by the intelligent creator to have to earn every ounce of happiness. My wife and I have a date night on Friday night. That's the one night a week me and her let loose. And you know what? I earned that. I'm up every morning working out, jumping in the damn cold plunge. I'm 50 years old. I'm falling apart.

Dan Bongino is Leaving (Ep.146)
I'm sitting there squatting, deadlifting, sweating. I'm done with my show. I'm up from 6. I bang out work from what? 10 to 3 p.m. Right back to show prep the next day. Right in the sauna. My wife comes. She doesn't do the cold plunge. She hates it. She only does it when we eat.

I'll show you what I mean in a second. Another thing I've been telling you about, the inauguration's coming up. We're two weeks away. Folks, I'm really hesitant to talk about this, but I feel an obligation to put it out there because I don't have any other avenue to do it other than you guys in the Bongino Army. I don't think the Secret Service is prepared.

And I think the Secret Service along with the FBI are lying to this transition team. This transition team knows it. And unfortunately, there's nothing they can do until they formally take power in two weeks. But when they take power in two weeks, Donald Trump is going to be sitting there exposed at the inauguration.

The FBI is lost. It's broken, irredeemably corrupt at this point. The inexcusable raid on President Trump's home was a straw that broke the camel's back. I mean it when I say it. It's way past time to clean this FBI house up. They have burned every last shred of faith and trust freedom-loving Americans had in it.

And to the libs out there, listen, don't even waste your time lecturing me on this issue. Not a second. I gaff you right off. I pay no attention to you losers, okay? No one's been a stauncher defender of FBI agents I work with than me. Go back and listen to my shows, you dipwads. I was the one defending them all the time. I've actually been a federal agent. A cop actually put my butt on the line.

But what the FBI did to Donald Trump, that wasn't law enforcement. It was tyranny.

Obviously, we're going to be working with a team of people to make this transition from me, political commentator Dan, to deputy director of the FBI Dan. Those are different roles, require different skills. Skills I haven't have used before and I plan to use again. Vision of President Trump, Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel.

I mean, this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody, ladies and gentlemen. There's accountability in any job. Nobody's angry at people who go and work for the government. We're angry at people who are not working for the government and taking your taxpayer dollars. Shouldn't be hard to figure out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Why are so many Americans now getting behind this Elon Musk, Trump administration, is it Amy Gleeson effort in the Doge to make government more efficiently operate on taxpayer funds? Because they know, because they've been operating in the private sector forever, where if you waste money, get caught, or do this kind of stuff on company time, you actually get fired. This isn't new to them.

Unfortunately, we had a little techie issue in the beginning of the show. We lost a few minutes in the beginning, but we did it over. Okay, I'm going to take our last break of the show. I'm going to take it because I've got a really important segment coming up. Something big happened last night. Folks, Donald Trump has transformed the Republican Party. That's not a newsflash. I get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Many of you are like, oh my gosh, Dan, no kidding. I haven't seen unity like I saw last night in a long time. There's always a few who want to do their own thing without regard for the bigger Republican MAGA message. Something happened yesterday. And, you know, I'm a I'm a spreadsheets guy. Plus ones, minus ones. I don't get emotional.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Speaker Johnson and the whip on the Republican side managed to align the Republicans with a slim lead in the House in the direction. Good thing. Have your beefs on other stuff? That's fine. I have. It's been out on the air. But President Trump apparently got on the phone and with Speaker Johnson made this happen last night. It's a big deal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I'm going to tell you what happened and why it matters in a minute. Executive orders are great, but you need legislation. Have you seen the news from some economists forecasting a depression, not a recession, but a depression by the year 2030? We could be in a perfect storm if Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement.

Once again, that's helixsleep.com slash Dan. Thank you, Helix. We appreciate it. Here is Speaker Johnson last night. Folks, the process has started. I want to emphasize to you something very important. The process for this, what Donald Trump calls a one big, bold, beautiful bill has just begun. The bill that is going to actually do the stuff in the bill. i.e.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
a transformation of the border, building the wall, establishing our military dominance and lethality again, tax cuts, the economic prosperity program, the no tax on tips. This is a start, the start of the reconciliation process. They needed to get... Every Republican on board, it can only lose one. They did lose one Congress from Nassi.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I get what he's trying to do, but this is one of those letting the enemy, the perfect be the enemy, the good thing. I understand. However, we're dealing with slim majorities. I'm dealing with the world we live in, not the world we'd want to live in. But I understand the principle. I've been a fan of cutting government spending for a long time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Speaker Johnson, unbelievably, got this thing through last night. This got it passed to start this thing. Here he was right afterwards. This is a big bill that will actually really change America if this thing passes. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Are you worried you'll lose the president's trust if it fails?
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Folks, I want to emphasize to you the importance of this. Executive orders are fantastic. And I really applaud President Trump for using the constitutional powers of the presidency to do the things he wants to do and to move the country in that promised make America great again agenda. He's not a guy who promises things and doesn't do them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
And it's fantastic that he's moving them in the right direction. But executive orders are limited in their ability to change the country. I've asked you in the chat many times. You already know. What did you say? Crowder says you owe him $30, Dan. Sorry, I'll have to write you a check. Maybe cash if we stop by Dallas. Folks, executive orders are only good as long as you're the executive.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
But I'm sorry, again, I'm not answering the question about how I intend on going from a political commentator to a nonpartisan job like the FBI. I already did it once before. I was a nonpartisan actor in the Secret Service working for Democrat and Republican administrations. Stop asking. It's not my fault you can't do that and swear an oath and put your opinions to the side. That's your issue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Now, if, say, J.D. Vance were to run and J.D. Vance wins next time, the likelihood of him overturning a Trump executive order is probably slim to none and slim left town. However, if there's another election, there's going to be another election, if in the next election the Democrats win, those executive orders are going to be bye-bye, see you later.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Legislation can be overturned with new legislation, but it's not easy. You have to get a majority of the House and sometimes a filibuster-proof Senate, depending on the process you use. It's a big deal. This bill is enormous. I agree with the President Trump approach and the House side approach. I'm not telling you the Senate side is wrong. I understand what they're trying to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
But the Senate's saying, let's take an easy win on a border and defense, move on to the tough stuff later. The House is saying, no, let's put it all in one big bill. Tactically speaking, you don't have to listen to me. I mean, you know, do your own. You guys got elected in your own districts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I'm just saying it is easier to rally people around one big, bold message than to have to rally people twice. Right. It's easier to play one game and one big game and win it than to win two big games back to back. That's just a simple sports analogy. You don't want to play the Super Bowl twice. It is easy to rally people around one thing when the cause is so bold and transformative.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Also, it affords you the opportunity to tell everyone up there on the House side, because they're not going to get any Democrat votes, hey, listen, this big bill, everybody's going to have to take it on the chin a little bit. Not everybody's going to get what they want. And you don't have so much infighting with it. I think the big bill is the way to go. Amazingly, the AP came out with this story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Nearly 40% of contracts canceled by Musk's Doge are expected to produce no savings. I would be stunned to see how they got mad. Is this one of those like scoring things they do with the CPO where they magically tell you tax cuts cost the government revenue? but cannot produce a single data set of examples long-term showing that income tax cuts cost the government revenue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Not really sure how that works. I'm not sure where they got the math from, but Guy says he has a, wait, wait, you have something over there? You said there's a, I don't know what this is. Guy says there was a math lesson previously on how this works, and it was on, was it NBC one time? I may have missed this, so let me hear this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Yeah, it is incredible because I don't know where you got that math from. I'm not sure. You know, there's a calculator. Do you have it on your phone, guys? You have a calculator app? Because I'm pretty sure it's standard on just about every phone. What do you have? You have an iPhone. You have one of those Google phones, Android phones.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I'm reasonably confident there's a calculator app, and it can do complicated calculations. And the crazy thing is it does it like that. You even got ChatGPT and Grok. You can ask them questions like, hey, can you do this math for me? I didn't know you guys still had that running around, by the way. Good call on that one. Mary Gay, Brian Williams, man. They're making a big mistake here, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I told you the Democrats are making an enormous mistake dying on this hill of essentially fighting for extended periods of government waste and abuse. American workers live and work in jobs every day in coal mines and office buildings everywhere where they're forced to do performance reviews. They may like or they may not, but they have to do them to justify their jobs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Stop projecting that issue onto me. OK, moving on. I want to thank Caroline Levitt. She gave a really nice answer yesterday when asked this same question in the press room. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Doge is popular because those same people say, well, if you work for the government, why don't you have to do that too? Here's our friend Chaya Rachik over at Libs at TikTok. The new poll is absolutely devastating to Democrats. The Doge is extremely popular by huge margins. They screech about it on publications, but the American people aren't falling for it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
She notes, shows how irrelevant the media and leftist talking heads are. Peter St. Onge is a commentator. We use his content often. Great on the economic material. We've used it often on the show. You can find him on X. Comment it on the Doge right here and Doge's popularity. This is worth hearing. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Folks, listen to me here. This is important. The era decades ago, as I've said often, of CBS, NBC, and ABC, Cronkite, Brokaw, Peter Jennings, and others, basically dictating what the nation spoke about is over. You know, Justin, when were you born? 2002. My gosh, I mean, it's insane. Like, I really don't feel this old. So I was born in 1974. I remember this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I'm not going to tell you I was following politics when I was six years old and sound ridiculous. But I was, you know, I remember the Reagan presidency. I remember... You know, I remember my mother and father talking about it all the time. If it was not discussed, when I say it, I mean anything. The Doge, transgender comic books in Peru, whatever it may be. If it didn't make the nightly news.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
You didn't hear about it because there was a good chance it wasn't going to make your local paper either.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
So unless you were living inside the government and filtering through the paper every day and had an inside source giving you information, there was no way for you to know really that this was going to happen unless you were really like a diehard advocate for government reform and doing a lot of homework every day. Twitter, X, Facebook, TikTok, the internet, websites.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I mean, Drudge at the time before, you know, went way far left. They changed everything. It is now, things are a national story at the drop of a hat. Why is this important? Because of the transition to this next segment. The White House Correspondents Association, you know, the WHCA, which to me means WACA, the White House Communications Agency, which handles comms, but that's different.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
The White House Correspondents Association that represents media interests They're very upset about a decision that was made yesterday. And the way they're framing this does not necessarily align with my experience working in and around the White House. They're making it out like this is some kind of, you know, Caroline Leavitt, tyrannical, Donald Trump-led movement.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
They're trying to cut off media access to the White House. That's ridiculous. Here she is yesterday saying how they're going to be operating the press room and the mechanics of how the press operates with the White House a little bit differently. And cue the meltdown afterwards. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Listen, I get it. Media interests are going to be in promoting their own outlet, whatever it may be. Reuters, AP, they want people on their site. That's a business interest, which is interesting because they keep attacking people like me who have business interests myself that want people on our site for the same thing they want.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
But this new democratized information exchange era requires new ways of operating. You're not obligated to agree with it, but suggesting in any way that somehow your access to information is going to be shut down is ridiculous. There are press releases that go out on email. You can go online and queue up C-SPAN or a thousand different outlets. Guys, don't we take stuff live all the time?
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
No one's hiding information from you. Donald Trump yesterday sat in the Oval Office, and what did he take, like 20 questions? I've never seen a guy take more questions. This is your idea of Donald Trump sealing off the White House to press inquiries? That's insane. Matter of fact, Caroline Levert brought it up yesterday on her X account.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Peter Baker at the New York Times, he said that this reminds him of the early days of Putin's reign, how the Kremlin took over the press pool. Let me explain to you how the press pool, this is ridiculous. Caroline Leavitt responded, give me a break, Peter. Moments after you tweeted this, the president invited journalists into the Oval and took questions for nearly an hour.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Your hysterical reaction to our long overdue and much needed change to an outdated organization is precisely why we made the change. Gone are the days where left wing stenographers posing as journalists such as yourself dictate who gets to ask what. Dropping the hammer on that one. Folks, there are various types of press.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
When you go out with the press, and I'm going to bore you with all the details, but the press pool gets the most intimate access. That's the people you see in that press room. They're the ones that travel on Air Force One, the ones that travel in the motorcade. They'll get like a P pass from the press pool. You can get access to the press pool on the road too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
You can get a PL, like a pool local, where they'll insert and embed local reporters. If you go into, say, whatever, Cincinnati, a local Cincinnati NBC guy, you stick them in there as well so they get access on the road when you're in Cincinnati. Then you get others like Elsa.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
But the White House Democrats and Republicans, I promise you, because I've worked for both, do everything they can to get access to the broadest amount of press people. That doesn't mean it has to be the same press people every time. You don't have to agree with the decision, but any assertion that this is some kind of Kremlin-like clamp down on the press is absurd.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Nobody is more open and accessible to the press than President Trump. Have you seen a single event in the last month he's at where there are cameras and mics there and boom mics where he doesn't stop and take a question or two? The only time I've seen him not do it is late at night when he's leaving an event and he's got to get back. That's it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I mean, if you had any evidence that, let's say you could produce some data and receipts, maybe the MAGA audience would take it seriously. If you said, hey, Donald Trump's only taken two questions since he entered office. He's taken probably 10x the number of questions anyone else, besides prior Donald Trump in 2016. And it's precisely for reasons like this.

Again, with the headlines and the misleading efforts by media people to tell a story rather than the story, it gets frustrating for people like me. Yet they still have all the access they want. Here's what I mean, AP headline. Federal technology staffers resign rather than help Elon Musk and the Doge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Well, it's interesting because that's not really what, well, it's a story, but it's not what, folks in the chat? It's not the story. Elon notes more fake news from associated propaganda. Those were Democrat political holdovers who refused to return to the office. They would have been fired had they not resigned. Can you get to Jim's email? You saw that, right? Yeah.

Folks, if you're not going to show some kind of modicum of interest in the truth or actually doing actual journalism, don't be surprised when people don't treat you like actual journalists. So this happened. This is producer Jim. This is his ex-account at JJ Verde. So he gets an email. I know you're going to make me cover the Star Wars thing too, aren't you? This story we had to get to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Jim, this is from Julie Walker at the AP. I'm not sure if you produced the Dan Bongino show, but AP Radio is looking for permission to put out two soundbites from the show with courtesy. Would you know who to connect? She's not rude. I'm not sure you produced the Dan Bongino show. Jim responds, you want to know why AP's been kicked out of the press room? Look at this first sentence.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
All you have to do is look at my bio here. His LinkedIn, Facebook, True Social. He wrote a book about the show called The Dan Bongino Show Survival Guide. You know the basics? Make journalism great again. Or turn the radio on for five minutes where I probably address producer Jim a thousand times. I love that picture. We need to get that for the new studio.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
By the way, we may be in the new studio. We may be in there as soon as next week. Now, I want to note, we have different personalities. Michael is the optimist. He is kind of the baseline, like never moves his emotions either way. Justin is the more pragmatist guy who believes if they tell you we'll be in there tomorrow, it means next week. He always adds like seven days or 7X anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
We could possibly be in the new studio as early as next week. He doesn't like possiblys and maybes, Justin. But Justin, can we both agree, the new studio, you are going to absolutely love it. It is, just wait. You are going to love the visuals. Even if we get a week's worth of shows in there, Haley will be using it for a 6 p.m. show. Evita's going to be using it. You are going to love the look.

And thank you to the studio designers and my wife, Paula, who really was the one who put her heart and soul into it. I want to get to this too. Expect more of this hysteria. And of course, these narratives and stories will be propagated by people with a political agenda as this bill moves through Congress, this big, bold, beautiful bill that I promise you will transform America.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
This is real, lasting, heavy change. If this bill that they got started on last night, Speaker Johnson and the Republicans, about the border, defense, tax cuts, no tax on tips, there's so much good stuff in there. If it passes, it's going to be the biggest thing, one of the biggest things to happen in 20 years.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Of course, you got Democrats had to get super political about it and give you the grandma's going to get thrown off the cliff. Dogs and cats are going to be living together, Ghostbusters style, with the freakout. And they do this every single time. I'm not sure it's going to work, though, now that Donald Trump has the megaphone. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Of course, it didn't end there. Hysterical responses, hyperbole to the max. It didn't end there. You always have to throw out the R racist card as well. They do it so often. The sad part about this is real racists may actually get away with it because you've called so many people racist. Nobody takes the label seriously when it comes from folks like Premier Jayapal. Here she is again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
with the racist line brings immigrants into the mix. And why do the Democrats, every time they talk about immigrants to the country, talk about cleaning toilet bowls, picking vegetables? Do you really believe you're making headway into the hearts and minds of people insulting immigrants? My wife's an immigrant. She's running my entire company and was a vice president with a huge D.C.

The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
This is why you see the cannibalism theory. Do you understand how they all have to up the ante every time to make it look like they're the most radical so they can appeal to the base of donors and everyone else? When someone says, oh, we're going to throw grandma off a cliff. Someone say, oh, they're going to throw immigrants. They're going to lock up the kids.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
This is the kind of insanity that gins up money and support amongst their restless base that just wants to see something happen. But that's what also leads to cannibalism theory. And you're seeing it here in this article at The Hill. Some Democrat donors, ladies and gentlemen, have had enough of this. Angry Democrat donors turn off the flow of money. Quote, I'll be blunt here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
The Democrat Party is effing terrible. Plain and simple, one major donor said. In fact, it doesn't get much worse. I told you they were going to start to eat themselves alive as they all jockey for the scraps from alongside this table if you've ever seen Braveheart.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
When the pie starts getting smaller and smaller and people are hungry, folks, everybody starts digging with their nails at the last piece. You're seeing that now because they don't have a unified message. And then when they get hungry, they start eating each other. Here's a top Biden advisor, Mike Donilon, now in the Democrats, now the Democrats eating each other alive.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Going back now, looking back in the past after the debate and saying Biden shouldn't have got out, that it was insane to force him out. I told you they were going to turn on each other as things got bad. I actually predicted this before the election. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
The pie is disappearing. You see what's happening, right? Everybody's hungry. Everybody's hungry and thirsty, and they need a bit. And whereas the Republican Party has been rejuvenated under Donald Trump in just 30 days with this massive agenda he put forth, everybody's at the point of they'll never get satiated with the wins, but they're feeling pretty darn good.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
The opposite is happening over there. That's why you're seeing this scrap and everybody trying to say something more outrageous to get some cameras on them and some more attention because they see it all falling apart and they want to preserve that little piece of the pie they have left before they start eating each other. All right, I got to make an executive decision here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
So we put together this show prep sheet every day. You see my notes on it right here. And I'm like, well, that's not my handwriting. What the hell is this at the end? Doesn't even look like my handwriting. It says, here, let me show you. Must cover. Moscow, I'm thinking it's a story about me, the FBI, maybe a story about this massive bill last night. No, it isn't.

So out of respect for Guy, and look at this, I'm getting goosebumps. Why? Because these guys... Folks, Star Wars boss Kathleen Kennedy is planning to exit Lucasfilm at the end of 2025. Yay! According to the guys, I don't know who this person is. They have informed me that they... I don't know this person. They personally attribute the collapse...
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
You're damn right I am. Thank you, Caroline. I deeply appreciate the kind words. That's very nice of you to say. You know, folks, dealing with... Travel requirements in my line of work in the Secret Service before I came over here is one of the toughest things I've ever done.

of the Star Wars franchise to this woman, Kathleen Kennedy. Kathleen, I don't know you at all. I trust my people. I have no reason to believe they're lying. I'm just saying these guys want me to sound excited, so yay. You know what? I may collapse the wire. You really should put the flames thing up just for you. We never use it. I mean, they're so excited.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
They've never written on my show prep sheet ever. Is this Guy's handwriting or Justin's? Guy, must cover right there. There you go, Guy. Yes, folks in the chat, can you do me a favor? You're welcome. Out of respect for Guy. Can everybody in the chat put the clapping hands emoji or something? Maybe the fire flames or something like that. Make Guy happy. Justin, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Kathleen Kennedy is planning to exit Lucasfilm and start. Yes, this is awesome. Greatest story of the day. I'll be sure. And a radio to open up with this, too, with producer Jim. Jim's like, hello. All right. I'm just messing with you. But there you go. There you go in the chat. Everybody make sure. Gee feels better. Now our poor Kathleen's getting, I don't even know who this woman is. No idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Is she like the wokester or something? Okay, good. All right. Now I feel better about it. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in. My deepest apologies for the breakdown, but he's right. Even the best systems. We haven't had a breakdown in that system in a really long time. It happened to happen today at the beginning of the show, but we made the decision to start over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
So we gave you a full show. Oh, what happened? Everything's falling apart. Everything's falling apart in this show. I'll see you on the radio show here in a little bit and back here tomorrow at 11 a.m. as we wrap up the Dan Bongino Show. Love you guys. See you then.

Watching my young daughter at the time, who's now in college, but back then was very young, crying every time the suitcase came out was a really big deal. That was work I did for a Democrat president. Did it matter to me that he was a Democrat? No. No. I'm really sorry you can't swear an oath and do that. Media people who've asked me this question repeatedly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
It's frustrating beyond imagination to have to deal with people who can't think outside their own box. On a lighter note, I want to move on. I want to spend the whole week. I've only got about 10 shows left with you guys, 10, 11 shows. I do have to, again, take a couple of days off. I have to travel up to DC and get some stuff done.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
There is a pretty extensive paperwork requirement you have to go through for backgrounds and things like that. I'm sure you guys can imagine. Many of you out there have been government employees. It's some of the same paperwork. There's not like a special set of paperwork for people. It's the same paperwork.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
So Paul and I were hustling last night, getting information and stuff, trying to get this in, but did work in the white house for many years. And I'm going to tell you something. There were two, most people don't know this. When you ask for a white house tour, you know what, let me play this first and I'll show you why this matters. I'll give you kind of the inside baseball efforts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Here is president Trump. The white house tours have finally reopened. Thank you. Melania Trump's office who I hear had a big role in that. It's the people's house that we own it. We bought it. There should be White House tours in there. This happened. President Trump wanted to go and greet everyone. I'm going to tell you the inside scoop on this after you see this is very unusual. Check this out.

Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
So just so you know why this is so, one, let's just state the obvious. That's so President Trump for him to do, to take time out of his day and go and say hello to people. U.S. citizens, obviously, people visiting the White House, just happy to be there. But you may say to yourself, if you've never been inside the complex, the 18-acre White House complex there, well, what's the big deal?
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
His office is like right next door. Just go say hello. No, that's not what happens. I don't know if you know this, but there are two tours. I'm going to let you in on some inside baseball here. You really want a tour? You want the West Wing tour. They're hard to get. I don't want to say you got to know someone, but they're really difficult to get because they won.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
They don't do tours in the West Wing, obviously, when the president's there on work hours. So they may do them after hours and on the weekends. But there are very, very limited slots. The West Wing of the White House, which is the western portion, obviously, is where all the work happens. There are TV shows about it. The West Wing, you don't know what the West Wing is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
You got the Oval Office over there. You have the Cabinet Room, Roosevelt Room. You have Vice President's Office, the Chief of Staff. There's the White House messes over there where everybody eats. That's all in the West Wing. That's not really close to where that is. I know that area well. That's the East Wing. Above it is the residence.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
You have the two floors above it are the residence, but that floor there, the ground floor and the downstairs, that's where the tour, that's where you're allowed in. That's a cool tour. Don't get me wrong. There's a ton of history there. The East Wing tour, though, there are a lot of spots. I think you got to call your congressman or something to get on the list.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
But the president almost never goes over there. Matter of fact, if you watch that video again, you'll notice there's a little divider he walks around. That divider is there for a reason, because that's the hallway the president goes up to his residence in when he's done with his workday in the West Wing, and they don't want anybody to see him.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
So for him to walk around a divider, you notice the Secret Service guys, even though it's pretty secure, all walked over there right away. Thank you. So yeah, and the other right to his back is a divider. He had to walk around and you'll see on Dan Scavino's Twitter feed, he's got a little video.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
You'll see him peek his camera over the divider because that's where the president goes up to his residence. But he's rarely in that hallway ever. That's so Donald Trump. That's just what he does. So thank you, President Trump, for making the people feel at home back in the people's house. It's our house and he knows that. All right, I'm going to take a quick break. And here's what I got for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
I got a good guy, Benny Johnson. He had an FBI agent on, Steve Friend, who I know, Steve's a patriot. And I had an interesting take on some of the stuff going on in the FBI. It's still out there in the public domain. And I want you to, you can draw your own judgments from it once I play. A quick break, we'll get right back to that.

It's going to take a couple weeks. I know you all are stunned by that. But again, pretend to do some act of journalism. It is not unusual for a business in this space to have an ad-supported revenue model that keeps it free for people. Pretending to be stumped. This was an interesting clip I saw on the Benny Johnson show. Steve Friend is an FBI agent. I believe he's no longer with the Bureau.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
And he's got an interesting book on the matter as well, so why isn't it there? But this is a fascinating take on what some sources are telling him may be going on inside the FBI, which obviously I took an interest in checking this out. Take a listen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Folks, I mean, it's interesting how Media people have been reaching out to me, people around me and others, trying to get a take on how a guy who is a conservative can act in a nonpartisan position. And yet when guys like Steve Friend and Garrett O'Boyle and other whistleblowers highlight information they're having, I don't hear the media taking an interest in that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Like, well, what if we had a problem in a federal agency enforcing the law like the FBI, where there may be some partisan intent in people making law enforcement decisions? Maybe reach out while I'm still on the private sector side. I'm not in the government yet. I'm allowed to have an opinion. I'm free to have an opinion and I will. Maybe you should ask about that.

Maybe we can both contribute to depoliticizing areas of our federal government that shouldn't be politicized. You want to help or not? I certainly do. Kristi Noem has been doing a great job over at DHS, too. Folks, we can't have this. We cannot have a government that leaks like a sieve. When you sign up for a government position, you agree to keep sensitive information, sensitive and close.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Not everything is classified. There's some information that's for official use only, and there's some that just requires your personal discretion. I E it may not be for official use only, but it's not the kind of thing you're going to advertise on the front cover of the New York times because it may be sensitive and you may not have permission to share it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
It's incredible how many people don't seem to have this anymore. And you're seeing these leaks left and right. Kristi Noem, has implemented a policy of using the polygraph, which can be, if you get a good polygrapher, it can be hard to beat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
If you're going to leak information in violation of your oath to the government to keep that information sensitive, especially when it could create a danger for someone else, then you risk getting caught and you risk getting your job, losing your job, being terminated.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Here's Kristi Noem saying she's found people who were leaking information about these ice raids, which could cause a really serious public safety situation leak in that. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Folks, listen, a polygraph, like anything else, isn't unbeatable, but they can be hard to beat, especially when you get a very skilled polygrapher, and many of these people are. Do you think the Trump administration is going to allow people who chose to work in the government to leak sensitive government information that could cause someone a serious physical injury or death?
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
Of course they're not going to do that. It's their job in the executive branch to act as an executive and keep information integrity alive. You thought there wasn't going to be some follow-up to this? Secretary Noem's not having it. And I think they're establishing a standard right away. Your job is at risk if you do this. Tulsi Gabbard's another. He's got, really at this point, the dream cabinet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Shake-Up In The White House Press Room (Ep. 2431)
And he's got, finally, a real diversity of viewpoints, but diversity that matters, not diversity the way the woke left uses it. Tulsi Gabbard's currently serving as a DNI post-confirmation. And a monster story broke about sex chats amongst people in sensitive intelligence positions in the NSA. Again, folks, your personal private time, you do you, man.

You can actually read the books yourself and you'll find out that, oh, there may have been a conspiracy. There's nothing in the book that's theoretical. You notice how they never cite what they're talking about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
Or when they do, they leave it in bird's eye view stuff because they know if they get down to the granular, they're going to be exposing their role in what they call a conspiracy theory, which was no theory at all. Second, election denier? Fellas, have we ever denied an election happened? Election happened. I don't know what election denier means. No, I really don't.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
I know what you think it means, but election denier means we're denying an election. Is that what that means? So wait, an election denier to you in the media is what? That I question the outcome of an election in 2020, which I stand by? Like Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Maxine Waters. You want me to list like 10 or 15 other Democrats?

You do your thing, but it's incredible how much insight they claim to have into who I am, despite never having met me or having zero experience with me in a professional environment at all. None.

Do we need to play the video of Democrats questioning every election they've lost? Are they election? Oh, no, they're not election deniers. You see how this journalism field works now?

Justin just committed a cardinal sin of the show. We have this thing you got to mute in my ear or else I hear feedback. So Michael's job in the checklist is to make sure it's muted. So we always joke it has to be an odd number. So Michael's like, is it triple muted? Because then it'd be muted, unmuted, and then muted again. Justin says it's quadruple muted. No, that means it's not muted.

Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And calling us names, me and Cash, like election denier, when we've never denied an election. And I don't speak for Cash, I speak for me. I stand by my content. The New York Times themselves in 2012, look it up, wrote a piece by Adam Liptak questioning the efficacy of mail-in ballots. Look it up yourself. Was he an election denier too? Notice how the standards are no standards at all.

I mean, you got to smile a little bit at the again, the total meltdown, how they have no problem appointing the hardest of partisans to any position they feel like. Then you get a guy like me who's actually got a nonpartisan history doing the same kind of professional work. And all of a sudden they're freaking out. What evidence do we have? He can act in a nonpartisan manner.

I don't know if there's something in the water. Obviously, he'll be wearing a suit and tie, so it'll look a little different. But I found it kind of odd that that's the one thing you'd notice.

Okay. Yes, you're right. I know very little about catching real bad guys. Folks, bragging about your own resume is tasteless and it's loser material. I'm hesitant to even mention this. Is Nicole Wallace aware of what I actually did before? Why am I asking stupid questions? Of course she is.

I don't know, four years with the NYPD, two as a cadet in the pattern identification module, investigating pattern criminals in Queens, New York, one of the boroughs. Two years as a police officer in the 75 precinct, which anybody, anyone in the chat here from the 75 precinct, you want to tell everyone how busy the 75 precinct in Eastern New York, Brooklyn was?
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
Anyone in the chat want to educate them? Then I left and went to the United States Secret Service, where I went to the New York field office, then transferred to the Melville office on Long Island, where I worked on a financial crimes task force. And you know what's really crazy? I work with guys from this three-letter agency. Called the FBI.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
I'd give you their names, but it would be totally inappropriate. They had a Lyra, Long Island resident agency. They were on the task force. And we worked a case that was so big, we actually got an award from the Department of Justice. Matter of fact, the United States attorney, his name was actually Stephen King. Yes, like the writer. Isn't that ironic? Who later went on to work at DHS.

It was a $100 million plus credit card fraud case that had a nexus to terrorism. I'm sure Nicole knows a lot about that. Then I left to be an instructor at the Secret Service Training Academy. You guys are never going to believe what I taught. Have I ever told you this? I haven't because who really gives a about my resume, right? You know what I taught at the Secret Service Academy?

Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And I encourage you to check this out, guys. There's like a FOIA called the Secret Service. Give them permission, right, to put all this out there. I taught criminal investigations for two years. So weird. What would I know about criminal investigations? I don't know. I taught them outside of that. I had no idea. And then I left to go to the Dignitary Protective Division.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And then I left to go to presidential protection. On presidential protection, I protected Republicans and Democrats and was one of about 25 guys on the president's detail who were qualified to do lead advances. And then I left and went to the Baltimore field office where we cracked the fraud case so big it was on the cover of the Baltimore Sun.

Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
You can just look that up, Baltimore Sun, Dan Bongino. Nicole doesn't want to. She's... happy, content, sitting behind a desk criticizing. See, I actually do. And Nicole has the right, the absolute right to criticize as a citizen of the United States first, but she is in the media. And I've always said, and will continue to always say, I respect that.

And she has the right when I get in the FBI and swear in both Kash Patel and I to critique whatever she wants. But that doesn't make what you say right, correct, or even remotely attached to reality. Sorry for the resume, folks, but I've never said that to you on the air. And I encourage anyone out there in the media to go and request from the Secret Service or the NYPD my personnel records.

Have at it. And you'll see what I'm telling you is 100% accurate. So if you're going to say I have no experience with criminal investigations, I ask you to just try to be a journalist for a minute and back that up with receipts like we do on this show. It got worse. Here is Andrew McCabe, who is a featured actor in my book and many of them.

Andrew McCabe had the job I'll be taking as deputy director. He was quite upset on CNN, unsurprisingly, given what I've written about. And you can read it yourself. I'm proud of what we put together on it. So check this out.

None whatsoever. Zero connection to it whatsoever. Folks, listen. Given the responsibility I've taken on right now, be inappropriate at this point to go into a long diatribe about Andrew McCabe's role in damaging the reputation of the finest law enforcement institution in the world. But I just encourage you to look it up. And you'll see for yourself what his, quote, expertise got him. It's...

Conspiracy theory without actually describing in any depth or journalistic with any journalistic integrity whatsoever. What the theory is, that's a conspiracy. And the election denier thing, which is so ridiculous, I don't even know how to describe it.

I mean, is it supposed to be a hit piece? I love Stelter's. Look at that. Don't feed the hipsters. Check it out. You see that? That's a real shirt, folks. It's not. Where's that from?

I think it's from Lucky or something like that. I think Paula bought me that shirt. Don't feed the hipsters. Kind of funny they picked that one. That big tattoo on me, too. I'm going to get rid of that one day. That thing is getting bad. But Stelter's adjectives to describe me are hilarious.

He's incendiary. Incendiary, folks. Is there, can you put the flames in the background? Can we do that? I know we've reserved it for special occasions. Yeah, I know the background. So just a quick story. I know I got to take a break, but I want to boil it. But we are, I mean, the new studio is done, like done, done, really done. But Guy and the team are training.

And then it's a lot of new technology. And then the show melts down live. So this TV behind us, if you watch the Rumble show on the radio, has been melting down like every hour. So he's like, no flames. The TV may actually go on fire. Because we're not going to fix it. We're out of here in a couple days.

Dan Bongino as deputy FBI director means two things. So Adam Schiff's laying it out. Trump installs another loyalist. I am loyal to the Constitution of the United States, and that's why President Trump picked me. So loyalist? Yeah, to the Constitution. I think he misses that.

It's where the USAID story came from as well. Just the news before it was shuttered, USAID routed funds to Soros-aligned causes, terrorists and drag queens. Folks, again, the liberal narrative lately has been billionaires are really terrible, awful people. We hate Elon Musk.

I had a small jar of peanut butter one time because I like natural peanut butter to eat when I'm hungry. I had to throw that out. You have to chuck all that stuff out.

I mean, the acceptable ID documents apparently for you were not the same for people who had violated our immigration laws. There is a two-tiered system in this country, but you're not on the side of it that's winning. Elon, of course, has become the subject of just projection again.

So I hope until then we can have a good time together. And I'm just going to say briefly to my critics out there, I obviously have always said this, by the way, have we not, fellas?

Swear in tomorrow with a bunch of ethical conflicts that would cause a headache. You'd be writing stories about that. You know, this kind of feeds into this segment, and I didn't even intend it that way. It seems like, you know, with media people, there's two different sets of rules sometimes.

are like nothing I've ever seen before. Now, I'm going to draw a comparison. I don't want you to kind of revolt in horror. But I've seen something similar, but not as good as President Trump. His ability to, the guy has an immense amount of charisma. He just does. When I first got on the job as a young agent, Bill Clinton was in office. Obviously, I disagree with a lot of his politics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
I think that's fairly obvious, giving him a political opinion show, which has shocked the media just discovering that. But Bill Clinton had a way to do that, too. I remember being in a holding room, and there were guys who were Republicans. And I don't know what they were, businessmen or politicians or whatever. And they were like, we're going to talk to him when he comes in here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And they were wagging their fingers. And the minute he walked in, hey, buddy. They were like, well, you know what? This is Bill Clinton. I may not agree with him, but I get it. These guys used to sweat charisma, you know? Donald Trump has that, I mean, to a degree, algorithmically higher than Bill Clinton did.

So there's this whole big schism right now with NATO, the European Union, Russia, Ukraine. You know, Donald Trump laying down the law saying, hey, EU, you guys at European Union, you guys are right there. You better take on a bigger role in NATO because you guys are we're risking a lot more here money wise and assets wise. But you guys are right there. It's right in your backyard.

So you would think it would be this big confrontational meeting. Here's Donald Trump again, just disarms everyone in the room. He's got a gift for this stuff with Emmanuel Macron. Did you see this? Check this out.

psychology 101 projection moments where I think you're so used to using these nonpartisan, nonpartisan, let me say a third time, nonpartisan positions for political purposes that you're stunned that someone like me who's actually done a nonpartisan job in a nonpartisan way would choose to take a job like that. I know that surprises you, but you don't know anything about me. And it's, um,

He is just really, really good at this. Justin's like, you know, watch their hands. Watch how natural this is. That's what he does. He has a magical ability to disarm people. And I just want to note, there's a fascinating op-ed in the Wall Street Journal today. Who is it by? Forgive me. But it's about how Trump's policy towards Russia...
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
is really not that different than presidents even in the, it's not that different from Republican or even some Democrat positions in the past. They're making it out like Donald Trump is some, you know, a Putin appeaser. And when you read the piece, the journal, who are not huge fans of Donald Trump, many of them are op-ed writers, acknowledged that it's really not that much different.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
He's stating a simple fact to NATO countries and countries in the region. Hey, man, we'll help you out, but you got to help yourselves too. There's nothing that dramatic about that. The winds keep continuing, though. This administration has been chalking them up at such a rate. I told you, doing this show with the guys here, it's hard to kind of triage what to talk about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
We'll keep covering the reaction to all this other stuff, and, I mean, we have a ton of stuff for you coming over the next couple weeks. It's, you know, the fact that the last show is going to be March 14th is really, like, it's real to me now, and it... Kind of stings a little bit. I mean, I'm really going to miss you guys.

Regardless of your feelings about big tech companies, folks, they have clearly sensed that there's a new sheriff in town in the White House, and that new sheriff in town is President Donald Trump. They sensed the economic growth opportunities with President Trump.

Folks, the W's keep continuing. This is all good news. We don't have to agree with what these companies do or anything like that. But if you're going to invest money, invest it in America here.

But Donald Trump has appointed people, and amazing people, by the way, fantastic people, very talented people in his cabinet, sub-cabinet level, and as the heads of agencies, whether it's Kash Patel, Attorney General Bondi, whether it's now Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and there are people who understand that there are questions and there are assertions.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
You don't want to fall for that, okay? When someone in the media is making an assertion rather than a question, you want to call it out. I want you to watch Secretary of Defense Pete Hanks, who catches this little stunt right away. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
He wasn't falling for that stunt at all. Pete's been around the block. You have to understand, Secretary Hegseth has been in the media a long time. He understands this. He's been on the media debating people. He's got a wealth of experience. And this is the attack, whether it's me or whether it's Pete Hegseth, unqualified, all this other stuff.

We've always had this production company, this production company, whether it involved books, whether it involved movie projects, whether it involved the podcast, the business side was always run by Paula. My wife, Paula has been a rock. She has been, I don't think you guys even understand the depth of how involved she was in building out this media, whatever empire.

I don't want to sound self congratulatory, but she is going to be taking over as president of the new company. And the new company will be divorcing itself from me and my business interests because of obvious ethics rules. Um, The new company is going to be called Silver Lock. Silver Lock, L-O-C-H. Where did we get that name?

Well, my wife and I, when we lived in Maryland, and at least for now while it's still up, you see the next evolution there, Silver Lock, Dan Bongino show.

Will be run by Paula, who is already, she's just transitioning to president now from her prior position, where she was pretty much running day to day, no matter what. Where's the Silverlock story come from? Short story, when we lived in Maryland, there was this beautiful house we wanted to buy so badly and we didn't have a lot of money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
I was working on a government salary and I didn't have a ton of cash, but we wanted this house so bad. The killer thing about this house and pun intended is when we looked at it, it was a train wreck inside and it was blood on the floor. Something had happened in this house. Like, I don't know, Amityville horror style. We didn't care. We loved it so much. We just couldn't afford it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And we never bought the house and it was on Silverlock Court somewhere in Maryland. That became our kind of our synonym for dreams. Silverlock, we wanted to own that house. So we bought the name a long time ago. We've been always looking to transition away from making it Bongino-centric, about me to about everyone. So silverlock.com is going to be our new umbrella brand for everything.

Folks, you've got to understand, Andrew Breitbart was right. Politics is downstream of culture, and culture shapes everything. Culture shapes everything, and that is our goal here. So here's what's going to happen going forward. These shows will continue. We are going to get a guest host. I will leave the surprise. We're working on this person right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
We're very excited, a very, very, very talented individual. We are hoping to seal this deal soon. The guest host will be in this specific time slot. While I'm gone, it'll be run by Paula. We're expanding. We're scaling. We are, the company is not going to be shrinking. It's going to be divorced for me, but we're setting a foundation for something that'll last.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
We'll have some big announcements coming soon. So please, please keep watching. And we put together, we were working all weekend. Thank you to the team, Paula first, of course, Tyler, Daniel, JP, Julian, Gavin, Dustin, thank you for the whole team. We've been putting a ton of work into making this transition away from me and into this new business I have to separate from. So I hope you enjoy this.

I hope you guys like it. We've been working really hard. Thank you to the team. When I say working almost without sleep, Paula and the team and Tyler's crew, they have the social handles. If you want to follow the new entity on Facebook, it's Silverlock. Again, it's L-O-C-H at the end, Silver, common spelling, Silverlock. On Instagram, it's Silverlock Media.

Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And they're confused as to, some of them, why I'm doing my show still. Why would you be confused? I have a job. The job has to wind down. This isn't anything. Would you prefer I just take the spot while I have contractual obligations elsewhere? Because I'm pretty sure that's a violation of government ethics rules.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And on X, it's Silverlock Media as well. We will get you a true social handle as soon as we can as well. So all exciting news. I appreciate you guys tolerating all this logistic stuff. But you've been loyal members of this show and listeners for a long time. I am not going to leave you guys alone. I promise. So a couple of things, too. Again, I just want to address my critics out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
You know, I'll say first. Freedom of the press is inviolable, but freedom to be ridiculous, that's yours, and you don't have to take us up on it all the time. You really should try writing something different. You're not going to impact my career decisions at all, not a little bit. I'm used to being attacked. But you are a journalist, so you should bedrock yourself in some semblance of fact.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
You don't know me. You've never met me. And if you're going to write the same piece over and over again, just put like an appendix, like piece one, one A, one B. It's getting kind of ridiculous for the attacks. Like, hey, how does he still doing his show? Because I have a job. I actually work for a living. This is a show, a show that is supported by advertisements.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
There was a guy in the Washington Post who wrote an ad stunned that we have advertisers. And I thought to myself, does the Washington Post subsist solely on subscriptions because they have advertisers? Do you not know how this works? Are you unclear about how a podcast radio show works? It is free because advertisers pay to speak to the audience. We have contracts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
I can't believe I'm explaining this to media people. The government has very specific ethics rules, which I plan on complying with to the letter and is costing me a fortune to do it. Not a sob story, just a fact. You can't just sign up for the government while you're under contract. I cannot believe we have to explain this to people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
This is what, like, journalists, you would think they would understand, and they do. They just play dumb. I have to wind the show down. We can't just walk away tomorrow from business partners who we had contracts with and say, hey, see ya, and then to our audience, hey, thanks for the memory. See ya, Jack. That's not the way I work. Again, they're called ads.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
Are you unaware of this business model? You know, I'll wrap this part of it up here, but how would you suggest we handle it again? That we go and swear in while we're under contract to a private entity. Then you would write the opposite article. Tamba Gito violates ethics rules and doesn't break his contract. You understand how these people work.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
The show will continue as it always has until March 14th. Understanding fully, my job is to be a political opinion maker. My job after that is not to be a political opinion maker. It's to hold my political opinions to myself like I did my last job and do the nonpartisan important work of keeping the homeland safe. Again, I know you guys don't understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
My harshest of critics out there, how you can go into a job like this and put your politics aside. I do. I did it before under two Democratic administrations who I couldn't have disagreed with more politically. The guys put this together last night. The media reaction to my selection as deputy director of the FBI was, I don't know what to call it, hyperbolic, hysterical.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
The media response is incredible, and especially from some of the people who were on the wrong side of just about every major story. How they speak with such certainty about my character and what I've done, although I've never met most of these people, is bizarre. your political opinions are to absolutely be respected. Okay. Freedom of the press.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
And I don't mean hysterical in a funny way. I mean hysterical like, is this for real? Is this even? It's so out there. Like, my gosh, we got a guy with political opinions in government? I know that never happens at all. Really? Really? Here is the MSNBC Morning Joe crew. This is, again, just indicative of what you're going to see over. And I want you to listen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
They all have the same exact talking points. It's not going to affect or impact my career choices in any way at all. I promise you. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
I'm sorry, I'm writing this down because they get, this is the least of the hysterical. What they did, the fellas here, what they did is they graded up the hysteria with each one. So we've got three more, so don't go anywhere. But I'd be remiss if I didn't address it because you're going to hear these points over and over. What exactly is the conspiracy theory? You know, it's fascinating.
The Dan Bongino Show
Change Is Coming, And All The Right People Are Panicking (Ep. 2430)
I'm not even going to name my books because I'm not, I'm really, I don't care. I don't want to sell you anything. I'm not even interested. I assume they're referring to my books about the collusion hoax and the spying scandal. But the fascinating thing about my books is they're footnoted and end noted extensively with their own reporting. You can look at it.

We're moving on. And they're hitting them with another one. You hit him with Hegseth, hit him with Bobby Kennedy, hit him with Tulsi Gabbard. Then they can't focus on one person. I want to focus on the status of the Trump cabinet, what's coming together. This is important stuff. There is a new faux allegation against Pete Hegseth.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
I hate to even address this stuff, but strategically, you have to understand what they're doing. They're grasping right now at straws. They have nothing on the guy. They're afraid Pete is going to come in there and dismantle this woke military operation they've been putting together forever that's meant to destroy the United States from within, and they are grasping at straws to try to stop it.

It doesn't matter to me. It's the strategy that matters. If you flood the zone, you cannot have them focus and isolate the target because there's no target to isolate, okay? They're trying this now with Pete. I don't know if you missed this story. It broke kind of last night. I say story loosely because it's totally fabricated. How do I know it's fabricated?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Because the parties to the story are all denying it. Pete, the wife, the family, everyone else. Senate learns of new allegations against Hegseth. The defense secretary nominee's former sister-in-law in an affidavit said she witnessed his drunken aggression and that his second wife worried about her safety. Fascinating story. Why do I say fascinating? Because they reached out to the second wife.

The second the media wants to complain about, oh my gosh, January 6th pardons. Oh my gosh, look at this permitting EO that's going to, the environment's going to explode. The second they want to complain about that, he hits them with something else. Right before we got on the air, he dropped another true social bomb about Russia ending the war. The media doesn't know what to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
You would think the second wife would have something to say about it, right? I mean, it's her story. The second wife said these claims are totally inaccurate, they're ridiculous, and that she was contacting her attorney and that no one speaks for her.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
That's kind of fascinating that the media that supposedly prides themselves on independent journalism, you know, democracy dies in the darkness and all, has the opportunity to speak to the woman directly. She entirely, completely refutes the story and then they run it anyway. I mean, what about the woman who claims she was molested by Joe Biden? Did she ever get her story in the media?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
What about the shower story in the diary with Joe Biden? Is that ever going to play in the media? Chuck Ross notes, here's the mechanism at play with the Hegseth allegations. It's the same as the Steele dossier. A source provides an allegation to official channels. The Senate went and looked for this, the Democrat Senate.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
That makes it reportable for news outlets whether the underlying claim is accurate or not. You see what Chuck, he's at Chuck Ross DC, good follow, by the way. Chuck Ross covered the Russia collusion hoax in Spygate as well as anyone. Here's what Ross, this is the media scam. If a party makes an allegation against a Democrat, first the story's ignored and buried.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
If a source comes through to confirm the story, then they attack the source and make sure they make the story about the source and then bury it. If the story still makes it through to the mainstream media about a Democrat, And the source winds up somehow breaking through the media wall of silence. What do they do? They write a story about Republicans pouncing.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
The story becomes about the Republican reaction to it. It doesn't become about the Democrat story. You get it? Ignore the story at first. Attack the source if the story is confirmed by the source. If that doesn't work, ignore the story by focusing on the Republicans' reaction. Put Republicans' pounce on Adam Schiff's, this is what they do. Thank you. Every single time we forget we have that.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Every single time, this is what they do. But when it's an allegation against a Republican, Chuck Ross is correct. What you do is you have a Democrat senator initiate a fake investigation into a charge they know is false. Pete Hanks has drunken aggression. They know it's fake, okay? So what do they do? They go out and search for someone who doesn't like Pete.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
They get them to say something that fits the narrative, true or not. The media then says, well, we can't confirm it, but I want you to know left-wing commie senator Dick Durbin is talking about this with someone, and it's a way to get the story out there without getting the story out there and doing actual journalism to confirm it. You see what they do? Every single time, ladies and gentlemen.

It's called the wrap-up smear. Where have we heard that before? Nancy Pelosi, who's usually tactically pretty smart, was once dumb enough to air how exactly this works, the wrap-up smear, by telling you how they do what they do.

If you've not seen this clip, this is one of those save and preserves and show it to your lefty friends later because she's describing how it doesn't matter if it's true or not. All that matters is the smears out there, they wrap it up and they run away. Don't listen to me. Listen to her. Check this out.

Rock them, sock them robots. It's nice that it looks like the Trump dance. This is the way to roll. Steve Bannon calls it flood the zone. Another great name. I don't care what you call it. Me and Bannon probably have the top two MAGA podcasts out there. There's a reason that they're up there because we're right. This is what you have to do. I got a big show for you today.
The Dan Bongino Show

I mean, she's laying out the left-wing Saul Alinsky-type game plan for you. I mean, what part of this could you possibly be confused about? She's telling you how they do it. This is how they make this stuff up. And if it wasn't for a biased, ridiculously biased left-wing media that would give this stuff oxygen, this fire would die out. Don't be depressed about it, though.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
I don't mean today's show. This is a glorious week. I'm telling you, man, from Monday on, this has just been something really spectacular for me to live through, to see Donald Trump in the greatest political survival story we've ever seen in our lifetime. It's really incredible this week. And the good news is, again, the Democrats are out of power.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
The Democrats' brand is at the lowest public approval rating globally. I showed you that story the other day. And it's been in years. The media has lost its power to get a narrative across. Their Saul Alinsky-type tactics have been exposed by this show, Bannon, and others. You now see it in advance.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
I always use that bloodbath analogy with the car thing, how they tried to make that stick, and we totally, completely defeated them. Nothing they're doing is working anymore. Everything we're doing is working. But they are trying to throw... The only cliche, the monkey wrench in the machinery.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
But they are trying to do it to stop these nominees from getting appointed quickly and to have a Trump government from functioning. See this reported on Twitter. Democrats are desperate to stop Trump from making America great again. Freshman Senator Schiff placed a seven-day hold on Pam Bondi's confirmation as Trump's attorney general.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Folks, this is only meant to happen because Adam Schiff is a lunatic. His donors are pushing him to, quote, do something, even if the something is counterproductive. There's absolutely no reason to stop this other than you're bought off by the donor class that wants you to cause chaos. There's no reason to stop this whatsoever. Yesterday, there was another debacle too, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
One of the things I'm most proud of, and I've been a small part of this, but it's one of our prouder moments, is this show's focus on dismantling the DEI infrastructure of the left. There's a business in it. Being a racist, there's a business in it on the left. People like Robbie Starbuck and others out there have done a lot of legwork on this, but I'm proud to be a part of this.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
This is what destroyed the left. I'd say outside of the border and inflation, this is one of the top three issues. It's been their focus on identity politics, and it's for a reason. The reason this destroyed the left is it's not a victimless crime. Playing identity politics is a zero-sum game. There isn't a person in America right now who doesn't know someone who's been a victim of this.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
You don't meet the appropriate racial or sexual orientation category. You were passed up for a promotion. Asian-Americans kept out of colleges with a perfect SAT score, the college they want, because they weren't the preferred minority. This stuff has impacted everyone and it pisses people off.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
If there is one single cultural political issue at a time, inflation being economic, the border being national security, that is decimated and will continue to decimate the left. It is without a doubt this focus on DEI. So what happens yesterday? I'm going to get into this in a little detail because this matters to me having done advanced work in the past. We can't have this going forward.
The Dan Bongino Show

Thank you for bearing with me yesterday. Special time yesterday due to the get flying home debacle. But we're here. I slept like a champion.

Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and their families in this tradition that happens just about every cycle, which is probably done now, thanks to this lady who destroyed it, goes through this national prayer service thing the day after the inauguration. Just so you know, it pretty much happens in every presidential inauguration afterwards. This is probably the end of it. You can thank this bishop.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
She's really a political activist, deserves no respect from you at all. And this fake bishop in church decides it's a good idea from the pulpit to attack Donald Trump with a political speech. Now, let me say in advance, because I'm not a hypocrite. You may be surprised, but I don't mind addressing political issues in church at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Matter of fact, Father Marty, who's a good friend, has no problem whatsoever going after current issues and tying it to faith and religion. I'm not a fraud. What I have a problem with is the decorum here. This is a national unity prayer breakfast for Donald Trump. If you don't like Donald Trump and his issues, then you're not the person to speak there.

I don't know whose reaction is better there. J.D. clearly looking towards the second lady, Usha, like, what the hell is going on? Like, where did they find this? Or Donald Trump sitting there like, of course, he's classy. This fake bishop isn't. Turning his head, cocking it to the side a little bit. Like, am I really listening to this right now? A lady forcing left-wing platitudes down.

Everybody start on a moment of supposed national unity. Or the family. Did you see Tiffany Trump in the background? Right? Tiffany Trump is like... Good for you. Tiffany stays quiet. She's not really the most vocal member of the Trump family when it comes to politics stuff. But she's sitting there like, are you for real? Like, who picked this fake bishop out there? I want to talk about this.

Someone who did this for a living. This is really... I'm not trying to throw anybody in the bus, folks. But again, I'm an outcomes guy. We had a bad outcome yesterday. Trump handled it well. He was asked about it later. He said, listen, I'm not happy with this. Did you like it? It was boring. And then he posted on True Social about it.
The Dan Bongino Show

President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
The ridiculous, arrogant lecturing of Donald Trump, which I'm frankly sick of. I am not a fraud. Again, I don't have a problem with people speaking out, pastors, preachers, imams, rabbis. I don't care. I don't care. You have a whole bunch of prescriptions on that stuff and supposedly whatever. I'm not getting into that. I don't care. Justin goes to the same church I do.

Father Marty will address these issues and tie him to faith all the time. Cool. Great. The problem is have some class. The Biden administration would never ask me to go speak at a podcast event where Joe Biden was going to attend because they know I would probably say, Mr. President, you suck.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
So my first question here is, folks, when you go out to an event, I don't want to beat this to death, but. When you go out to an event with the now president, okay, and he's sitting there. Look at this, Tiffany. I love it. Tiffany's like, what the hell am I listening to? Laura Trump is like, really? Eric's like, who the hell picked this woman?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
You have staff advance people, secret service advance people, and whammo people, White House military. So military advance people, okay? They all have a mission. The Secret Service's mission is not to get involved in the politics at all. The Secret Service only has one concern at this event. Is this bishop a threat to Donald Trump or not? If the answer is no, what she says is not our business.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Why? Very simply, the Secret Service is a law enforcement entity that has very serious First Amendment concerns. They cannot arrest this lady for speaking out. She has every right to say what she said. I think it's stupid and wrong, but it's not illegal. The Secret Service cannot get involved in that at all. Now, if she approaches Donald Trump in a threatening manner, they can get involved.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Everybody got it? Get it, got it, good. No need to beat that up. The military does their military stuff, which I'll leave out of that. That's a bigger story on their advance. It is the staff's job, the staff advance, to go through the footprints, to go through who's speaking, to go through the president's actual actions, interactions, and to make sure the president's not embarrassed.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Hey, man, I'm really sorry to have him to bring something. How was the staff advance on that? Man, you got to do a better job. You can't put the president in a situation like that. You guys have seen the videos of this woman out there. They're all over the place. This woman talking about how Donald Trump, that he needs to be removed from office.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
She's out there outside with the N95 ridiculous mask on. I mean, this is obviously a political activist. She's trying to tell you a story rather than the story. So going forward, I know these guys have their heads on straight because they've got some really good staffers and folks, these things happen. The pick, the presidential inaugural committee had a thousand things going on.

I'm just saying in the future, just learn from this and make sure we're going through these speakers. And it would have taken a five second social media search. I mean, we can do it now. And you'd see this lady's got a ton of videos out there talking negatively about Donald Trump. Folks, they want to tell you, the media people and the left-wingers, a story, not the story. That is what they do.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
They're doing it again with Elon. I said to you yesterday, I don't know Elon. I met him for five seconds at the UFC. He was very nice. But Elon is one of these genius guys who just, I don't know, I don't have Elon's level of intellect. So the brain, I don't know, the expression of affect and emotion is just different. You see it with these ridiculously smart people all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
They're trying to do it again. The media is playing the same playbook they did in 2016, despite getting their asses kicked three elections in a row. Yeah, three. Here's Elise Stefanik, thankfully, doing the right thing up there. She's being questioned by a complete tool bag, Democrat Communist Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut. And, of course, what does he got to do?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
He puts the wrap-up smear out there. Elon did this like a Nazi salute. Anyone who watched that saw what Elon Musk was doing, was pointing to his heart, telling people, you know, basically, I love you, I'm acknowledging what you're doing.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
But of course, because Chris Murphy's a commie and wants to do the Pelosi wrap-ups from here, he needs to get it out there that Elon Musk is a Nazi because he supports the MAGA agenda. At least Stefanik's having none of it. This is how you respond to this. You don't even accept the premise of the question and you crush it right away. Watch this.

Folks, that's how you handle it. You do not even remotely accept the premise of the question. What do I mean like that? This is a teaching moment for all of us because at times, you know, I've been guilty of this too. You don't start explaining away why the angle of his arm was this way instead of this way, why he meant to wave or do this, but the hand was upside down. You don't get into that.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
This is the standard traditional we need to tell you a story. So what do they do? They want you getting bogged down in the details. So the overall narrative that Elon's a Nazi and you're just explaining the details away, you can watch it here. Guy and the team are putting it on the screen. Look, I mean, obviously, if you've ever seen Elon, you know what Elon was doing, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
You don't even accept the premise of the question. Don't even bother. The guy pointed to his heart like 10 times. You don't accept the premise of the question. You don't start arguing that, well, he should have done it, palms up. And one thing you never do, listen, this is super important. For the political advisors out there, the team surrounding Elon, I know Elon's team knows better anyway.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Again, they don't need my advice, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway because the show is called The Dan Bongino Show, okay? You do not ever apologize, ever. You do not apologize. There are people out there going, well, Elon, just clear it up and apologize. He has nothing to apologize. Once you apologize for, you're accepting the premise that you did something wrong. Listen to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Do not, under any circumstances, apologize. There has been no greater warrior on Twitter against anti-Semitism other than this show. None. We talk about what's going on in the Middle East, the state of Israel, all the time. Do not ever apologize if what was in your heart was pure. Don't do it. And that's how you explain it. Apologize? What the hell would I apologize for?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Well, you know, it looked like a Nazi salute. Yeah, it looked like that to you because you're a crazy person. End of story. It is. That's a good point. Why would you as an innocent person accept a blanket pardon either? It's the same thing. If Adam Kinzinger and these guys had nothing to worry about, then just call the president and say, don't pardon me. You're making me look guilty.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
It makes you look guilty when you apologize. Never, ever, ever do it. All right, I want to make sure I get to the January 6th. You know what? Throw that Breitbart story up. What the hell? We'll discuss this quick, too. The Denver mayor, we could reevaluate cooperation with ICE if these requests drastically increase. Folks, again, with Tom Homan and others, plow straight ahead.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Do not get bogged down in any one story. Joey Bag of Donuts got locked up in an ice raid near a church. This is what they're going to try to do. Keep moving. Keep your eyes on the prize. Don't let them bog you down in a story. Keep the story in mind. The story, we are securing the border. If you were here illegally, you broke the law.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
We are going to come and find you, and you should not have broken the law. You should have just obeyed the law and engaged in the process. Okay, let's get to this, too, because this is going to be a huge focus here in the media. Let me tell you how it's going to work going forward because we are always weeks and months ahead of the story here. And it's not because I am some Einstein level genius.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
It's because the left wing media is so dumb and therefore so predictable. You put a piece of steak on the floor and you walk away from the dog. Are you surprised when you walk back when the dog ate the steak? Even if you said, Lucy, don't eat the steak. Why? Because dogs are predictable. So are stupid media people. Okay. OK, here's what they're going to do with January 6th.
The Dan Bongino Show

Ladies and gentlemen, the first bell back in the studio for the regularly scheduled time at 11 a.m. So good to be here. How many people we got? 70,000 people. Four minutes in. Nice. Yesterday, I think we were the three or four on the live stream charts. Oh, no, actually, we were number two. I'm sorry. We just lost to some live coverage of the news. So thank you for supporting the live stream.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Donald Trump issued a pretty comprehensive pardon for a number of the folks involved in January 6th in and around the Capitol. OK, some of these people were engaged in various different degrees of activities. Folks, listen, I agree with the decision. I have no problem telling you such. I pushed for it for a long time. We had Julie Kelly on the radio show yesterday. Always engage. Always evaluate.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Excuse me. Evaluate the effectiveness of something by the engagement of the other side and how much they talk and how much they lose their minds over it. When you see people like Fusion Ken Delaney, who it's been noted is basically an intelligence community kind of lackey, Left-wing outlets have talked about this, including The Intercept.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Fusion Candelanian, who was knee-deep in the collusion hoax. When this guy's losing his mind over the January 6th pardons, you know something's wrong here. They do not want the story out there that there was federal involvement, the January 6th pipe bomber was an insider, and that a lot of these people were victims of a weaponized process. They want to keep the story about the, quote, insurrection.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
That's why they're so bothered about this. They wanted these legal proceedings to proceed forever. so they can tell you a story. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
They put intensive resources into it. Why did they put intensive resources into it instead of going after BLM, Antifa terrorists, terrorists, Al-Qaeda, ISIS-affiliated terrorists? Why? Because they needed to tell you a story that they wanted to go on in perpetuity, especially through the Trump administration. They were hoping to get some deep state insiders that would, you know,
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
sit there and push this thing endlessly so you'd hear this story. Remember the insurrection? Remember the insurrection? Remember the insurrection? When you see people like Fusion Ken and NBC losing their minds over this. Oh, there it is. The CIA's mop-up man. Who are they talking about? Ken Delaney. It means the intel community is worried. Now, there are two things they're worried about, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Get ready, folks. Bullet point this. Write this down. Number one, what they're worried about Is it worried about losing the insurrection narrative, which takes the law and order? Are you tracking me here? It takes the law and order narrative that the Republican Party owns. And it turns it on its head.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
I'd really love to see her live. But if you have to watch on demand, that's OK. 11 a.m. Eastern every day. Rock them, sock them, Roblox, ladies and gentlemen. It is happening already. I told you it was going to happen. This is the way to do it. The media wants to practice because this show believes in deciphering for you how political tactics work.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
How can you guys be the party of public safety and law and order if you're the party of the insurrection? Do you get that? Pretty simple. I mean, they want to overcomplicate it. But there's a second thing, too, and there's a reason Fusion can Intel community cut out. There's a reason they're freaking out.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
It's because they know that there is a new sheriff in town who's just been sworn in and that all of the federal involvement in January 6th and the pipe bomber, that that may come. I say may because I don't want to get ahead of myself. I want to make sure everybody follows through. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel. Once that comes out, I promise you it's going to shock you. Shock you.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Here's Donald Trump getting into it with NBC's Peter Alexander yesterday, another deep state hack here, loser, who tries to interrupt the president on this very matter. Donald Trump sticks it right to him, just like he should. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
That, you see what he does there? You see how good Donald Trump is at this? He takes the question, which is not a question, it's an assertion. When did you stop beating your wife? He doesn't answer it. He turns the question on its head. And he asks Peter Alexander the question. When are you going to go after BLM and Antifa and others and the people who are really causing these problems?
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
When are you going to stop this chaos? When are you going to advocate for law and order in the streets of liberal cities that were burned down? That's the question. Folks, the process used to target these people was clearly political. If it wasn't political, then how is it that if you were there on January 6th, Pick the worst of offenders.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Pick someone who, there were some videos, someone who, say, attacked a police officer. I do not condone, obviously, that stuff at all. Matter of fact, I condemn it resolutely. But there is zero doubt that when the White House was attacked by BLM and Antifa and Secret Service agents and uniformed division officers, I know personally,
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
were hurt and wounded, that absolutely nothing happened to these people at all. So you can have two simultaneous thoughts at the same time, and I want you to pay attention to this. You can and should say, I am absolutely, resolutely against attacks on law enforcement for doing their job. Period there.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
But I am also against a greater danger, which is a weaponized Justice Department that picks and chooses when they take this stuff seriously and targets political opponents for it. And that's what happened here. I love watching the left-wing media, by the way. They're interviewing people and family members involved with the J6 prisoners here.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Saul Alinsky, as you know, is a left-wing organizer. Saul Alinsky was a bad guy, but he wasn't a stupid guy. One of Saul Alinsky's rules is isolate the target. In other words, if you don't focus all your fire on one person, you're never going to break the enemy's line. You've got to concentrate fire in one direction.

So Alex Wagner from MSNBC decides to go out and conduct an interview here. What she's trying to do is make the story about Donald Trump to even the January 6th families and others involved, saying, hey, man, don't you feel like this guy abandoned you? Let's just say Alex Wagner does not get the answer to the question she wants. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Let me ask you a question. Who seems more reasonable there? The hack loser MSNBC host trying to get a story out of a person being interviewed there trying to frame Donald Trump for this thing? Or the woman answering the question who sounds totally logical and reasonable and just absolutely fillets Alex Wagner? Who? Who sounds more reasonable there?

Always measure the impact of what you're doing by the response of your political enemies. This is not a hard truth to digest in your manual of political truths. If they're losing their minds over something, it's for a reason.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Folks, if they really thought this was politically damaging to Donald Trump after this election, they would let it happen, and they would stop losing their minds, freaking out in the media over it. They would put out a few papers and talking points and do their interviews, and that's it. They are melting down over this. Here's another one. Dan Goldman, who I don't know if you know this.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
He is the dumbest male member of Congress, AOC, of course, being the dumbest overall. Dan Goldman was knee-deep in the Russia hoax. Matter of fact, put up that Fox News story. Go in reverse a little bit. Dan Goldman was knee deep in all of it. The Hunter Biden laptop deal. He was in a lawyer before and worked with Adam Schiff and others on the Russia collusion hoax.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Here's Dan Goldman denies Hunter Biden laptop is real. Revives debunked Russian misinformation theory. This is who Dan Goldman is. Dan Goldman is terrified with Donald Trump coming back into office the second time and ready to engage in big declassifications of information about this. Dan Goldman needs to talk about something else.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
So he needs to focus on the insurrection and the January 6th stuff. That's why you see this reaction from Dan Goldman in a media interview. Pay close attention. He can't have you talking about the real weaponization of government. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
What do think that says to these people? It absolutely creates a emboldened and buttressed group of far right extremists that that exert and conduct political violence. And it is corrupting our system because I know some of my colleagues are afraid right now. And if you're afraid physically or you're afraid for your family, that has an impact on how you do your job as an elected official.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
When one guy's shooting this way, one guy's shooting that way, you don't have a concentrated effect of a volley going in one direction. You've got to isolate the target. Trump is making it really hard to isolate the target by giving them 100 targets to target. So here's the Trump true social post on Russia, by the way, saying he's going to cut a deal. The media is losing their minds about this.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
That is authoritarianism. That is not democracy.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
It's authoritarianism, folks. Dan Goldman said so. This is the guy who, in conjunction with Adam Schiff, Swalwell, and others, made sure to use the tools of government to attack Donald Trump, to attack his team, ruin the presidency, and cause a major international incident. Excuse me. Folks, Donald Trump's team has to ignore this stuff and plow ahead.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
They have to continue the Rock'em Sock'em Robots theory, keep hitting them every single day and getting things done. It will not allow, I can't say it enough. Is this getting annoying, the Rock'em Sock'em Robots folks in the chat? Let me know if it is. You know what, you got to let me know. The show's for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
But it is so important that we hammer home to them and we use this show on the outside to kind of be... a fortress for Donald Trump against left-wing hysteria. I want to make sure his team knows that these tactics will work because I know what it's like to be that. No, thank you. You guys are the best. Look at you in the chat. I love it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Reinforce what I'm saying is true. Here's why I'm doing this. I know what it's like to work inside government. Granted, not on the political side and the security side. I don't want to exaggerate my role, but I do. I've seen it. I've seen these guys and they're kind of like they're intimate conversations about stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
What the left wing media says, even though very few of you are paying attention to it, other people do. And they're going to start to second guess themselves. It's not that the Trump team is weak or it's not. It's just that's the nature of the beast. Man, are we doing this right? Are we doing this right? The answer is yes. Keep hitting them with stuff every single day. Keep getting things done.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Plow straight ahead. Ignore these people on the left. And the minute they get you bogged down in one thing, hit them with 10 more things. And I promise you they'll change the story the next day. Here's one of them on the getting things done front. Donald Trump has a, a, a little presser yesterday in the white house. The guy's done more press conferences now that he did.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Joe Biden did the whole time here. He is talking about a new proposal to boost our AI capabilities in conjunction with some private sector partners. A lot of people had some beefs with this. Um, especially the section that involved mRNA cancer vaccines, obviously two things very sensitive to me. But I ask you not to get bogged down, and we can talk about that too, and we will.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
However, I want you to focus on this part first, because this is the kind of thing they went wild about too. They're like, oh, there's a new oligarchy out there of rich people influencing the government. Notice they don't seem to care about George Soros or any of these left-wingers in Silicon Valley when they were supporting leftists. Here, check this out. This is Trump's Stargate proposal.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Folks, hundreds of billions of dollars flowing back into the United States economy. This is the kind of stuff that drives the left wild. Why would it drive the left wild? It's a growing economy because they don't care, ladies and gentlemen, anything that makes Donald Trump look good, including a fattening of their own wallets, is the enemy of the left. They care about power.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
But yesterday they were losing their minds about this cut right here. Here is Tom Homan, the border czar, saying, hey, man, you thought we were kidding about these raids? As they're losing their minds about the raids, they're trying to lose their minds about Hegseth and the Russia thing, but they can't. Rock them, sock them robots. This is the way to do it.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)

One of the things I told you about a while ago that you're now seeing materialize through power. I mean, actual formal executive power that we don't have. I'm not the president. We all get that.

Now, of course, the media is dying to do what? They're dying to put out pictures. Oh, my gosh, here's someone crying. Here's another person crying. Notice the media is not covering the family of Lake and Riley and others as they're ready to sign the Lake and Riley Act, who I assure you shed a whole lot of tears about the tragic loss of their daughter.

President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Notice how the media chooses to focus on you, the American people, getting screwed over by a group of people violating the law, but they focus on the people violating the law, not you. You see how they do this? This is the beauty of Rock'em Sock'em Robots. The minute he hits them with this, he hits them with something else.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Here is a Trump commenting on, hey, man, we're going to designate these cartels. He's in the Oval Office here, which is a great sight to see, by the way. I've been there many times. Love it. Here he is commenting on, you know those drug cartels? We're going to treat them like terror groups. And I love the way he just leaves it an open-ended question.
The Dan Bongino Show

Hey, are you going to have special operations teams go in there and wipe these guys out? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. I guess they'll have to look over their shoulders for the rest of their life. That's the way to do it. Keep them guessing. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
That's the way to do it. Keep them guessing, man. Don't tell them your plan. Just kick them in the nuts when they have no cup on. That's exactly how to do it. Here's another one. Nick Sorter on Twitter. Just in, President Trump's Department of Homeland Security just fired the entire advisory committee, citing misuse of resources.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Biden's DHS funneled billions to facilitating illegal immigrants, so this move is much needed. DHS is finally getting an overhaul. Again, every single time they try to focus on, oh my gosh, Pete Hicks said, oh my gosh, Tulsi Gabbard, oh my gosh, we've got border raids coming. They don't know what to do. Here, of course, are the memorandums. You can see them for yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
They don't know what to do. They don't know what to do because they can't focus on a story because Trump won't let them. Listen to me, folks. This is the mistake they know they made in 2016. It's not their fault. They were new to politics. Trump's benefit in 2016 to you was he was new to politics. The downside to being new to politics is they were unfamiliar with the process.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
One of the things you're seeing that we discussed early is... is the Dan Bongino rock'em sock'em robots theory of politics. You got to punch this dude right in the grill. Hey, get in there. Knock this sucker out. The rock'em sock'em. I rock'em socked him myself. Jasmine, we just brought on Jasmine as our business manager. Jasmine, can you grant us a new Rock'em Sock'em robot?

Trump was a businessman, a real estate, running a real estate empire. He wasn't familiar with the machinations of politics every day. Now he gets it. This is why Trump term two, as I said on my radio show yesterday, I told you, the fact that he's in no rush right now, not no rush, excuse me, under no pressure for reelection, is the benefit. Everybody said, oh my gosh, this is terrible.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
He's going to be a lame duck. He's not a lame duck at all. He's got his sons. They could run. He's got JD who could run. He's not a lame duck at all. Now he doesn't have the pressure for reelection and that's why all this stuff is happening. He's hitting people all at once with all of this stuff and they don't know what to do. Here's another one they were attempted to lose their minds over.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Here is the commandant to the U.S. Coast Guard, Linda Fagan, as Libs of TikTok points out, has been terminated. apparently spent more of her time worried about DEI initiatives rather than this thing called the border. You know, we have a coastline that's kind of like our border on the ocean. Maybe that's what we should focus on, drug interdiction, illegal migrants, and this other stuff.

Yeah, you shouldn't get too excited. There's nothing to get excited about. I'll tell you what I'm excited about, you exiting the United States Coast Guard. Folks, we are back to merit. We are back to rock'em, sock'em robots. We are back to a president who gets it. We are back to a president who understands the world transactionally because that's how the world is.

The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
I'm guessing by the audience we have every single day, you guys understand this is the result show. It's not the emotion show. This guy did this to me in the past. This guy was great in the past.

And the bottom line is Donald Trump is a results guy. Results we have not gotten with George W. Bush. Ronald Reagan, anyone else. Reagan took eight years. I loved Reagan. I'm a huge fan of a lot of what Reagan did. Not knocking the guy. He's long since passed. I'm simply telling you, this guy is in the FO portion of the F around and find out book that's sitting right on his desk right now.

And he's hitting them with rock them, sock them robots. Here's Ian Yeager on Twitter. Breaking. Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jay Johnson said there could be mass resignations from the DOJ following Trump's decision to pardon the January 6th prisoners. I got a section coming up on January 6th pardons in a second, so have no fear. We'll get to that as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how this is a bad thing. You've got a bunch of deep state swamp rats who were perfectly okay with a weaponized process to target people. I am not telling you nobody did a single thing wrong on January 6th. That's not this show. It's not, it'll never be this show.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
I'm telling you the full story of what happened that day has been hidden for a long time because they don't want you to know about federal involvement on that day. They don't want you to know who the pipe bomber is.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
And until they're willing to disclose who was who, who did what, and who was on, well, you know, who was there on the scene that day, then I'm not willing to take their word for anything. And there is zero chance the process was fair to those people. Zero.

You're telling me BLM and Antifa burned down American cities, barely a person served a day in jail outside of a few people who were given sweetheart deals, and yet if you were in the Capitol that day, you have to go through this communist-like process?

Folks, this is only, just to the lefties now and to the media people who I know what you're doing. I know you're getting ready to line up all your resources. We are not going to let you do what you did last time. You have no influence. 30% of America, 70% doesn't trust you. 30% of Americans think you're reliable. 70% think you're not.

Understand you were negotiating from a very sincere point of weakness right now. I say that from the bottom of my heart. You could get your credibility back but you're making no effort to do it because you're using the same exact battle plan you did in 2016. Argue about crowd size. Call Elon a Nazi. It didn't work for you in 2016. You stole it in 2020.

Folks, people within the federal government understand right now that if they change the title and if their bosses vouch for them, that they may be able to escape this total personnel warfare I've been talking about.

The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
Here is a warning to deep state insiders. Again, I'm trying to help the administration, but this may de facto help you too. Resign now. Whistleblowers are everywhere. You are not going to be able to get away with this stuff. There is zero chance it is not going to happen. Robbie has whistleblowers inside corporate America, inside the government. You are not going to be able to do it. Epic times.

It didn't break. These things take a licking and keep on taking. The Rock'em Sock'em robot. No, this is not the Trump dance, okay? I told you that this is what Donald Trump was going to do. Did I not? Look at that. His knuckles so ready to go. Yeah, baby. He just keeps firing bombs at them. What's the benefit tactically?

As Trump takes the wheel, big corporations extricate themselves from DEI. Corporations are starting to realize they were on no legal grounds, folks. Did you see Donald Trump ordering his Department of Education, DOJ, and others to look into these discrimination programs in colleges where Asian Americans, Jewish Americans, white Americans are discriminated against?
The Dan Bongino Show

You treat people according to their skin color, you're going to treat people unequally. I thought we'd learned that lesson. Apparently not. Folks, you cannot let the media concentrate their fire. You have to remember in 2016, this all started with the Mike Flynn episode.
The Dan Bongino Show
President Trump Did More In A Day Than Others Did In Two Terms (Ep. 2406)
They understood if they could isolate and target Mike Flynn and if the incoming administration got bogged down and they hit them with these fake collusion allegations, that that's what they would focus on and everything else would go by the wayside. The Trump team has learned about this. They're telling it as they attack their nominees. They say, ah, that's bullshit. That's bullshit.

What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
We get paid back for the massive amounts of money we're spending in Ukraine. We get rare earth minerals we need here desperately because China's getting ready to shut us down. And it's on land that the Russians could and want to take over. They're not going to take it over if they're our rare earth minerals because they know they'd be toying with us. So what does Zelensky do?

What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
He, quote, condemns Trump and he's in a disinformation bubble. You know, I am not an anti-Ukrainian war effort guy. I got an open mind on all this. Just, I only ask this. Tell me how it benefits the United States. Make a compelling case. Give me an exit ramp about what our battle plan is and what it looks like when we win. And I'm open to hearing it.

But I'm telling the Ukrainian government that supports Zelensky and Zelensky himself. This is the biggest podcast out there. This is not a small operation. You're making a huge mistake. This is not the way to handle this. Donald Trump's helping Putin. Really? Are we back now to the collusion thing? And why don't you come clean about the Poroshenko tapes and all this other stuff?

What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And finally clear up that the impeachment thing was a hoax. I told you when I opened up this show. There are a lot of people in the United States who are starting to realize that There's a couple op-eds even in the Wall Street Journal that Donald Trump is simply saying out loud what Joe Biden was too cowardly, too cowardly, wouldn't say out loud before, but was doing anyway.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
That there is no way at this point that this war is going to end with everybody being happy. It is the nature of human violence. It is sad. It is horrifying. There is no way that this ends with everybody throwing a McDonald's birthday party at the end, okay? It's not going to happen. Sorry, I was just a little fired up about that. And one more thing about that New York Post audio clip.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Notice how the Ukrainian lawmaker who gave the tapes to Rudy Giuliani, instead of the press scrutinizing the tapes outside of the New York Post, which did a great job, who did they attack? Rudy Giuliani. They don't want you to know anything about Ukraine, Zelensky, the piggy bank, because a lot of them benefited from it. I'm telling you, just read the book. Just read the first.

What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
You'll see why Trump is so aggravated at what's going on in Ukraine. All right. I made a point to you the other day about the conservative ecosystem. I was talking about my Twitter buddy, Chicago Ray. There's others out there that I've never met. I've never even seen their faces. But the conservative ecosystem is all about helping each other out.

What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
We're just smarter with the messaging. We have democratized information exchange better than the left. And there's a reason for it. It's my cannibalism theory. The left is in love with power and they see power as a zero sum game. The left. I don't want to get too deep into this, but. In other words, if Evita's show, if me and Evita were lefties, she's sitting right over there.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
If me and Evita were big lefties, right? The lefties see power as zero sum. So Evita's success, I would see it as taking it from me. So I wouldn't promote Evita's stuff. I'm like, wow, man, I never thought she'd be that successful. Maybe she's taking some people from me. Conservatives don't do that. Conservatives see this as not a zero-sum game, but as additive.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Like, wow, Evita's going to bring in maybe some younger listeners for me. She covers different issues. And then you know what? Maybe I promote her stuff and she takes some Bongino Army folks over on our side. It's an additive positive externality game. I mentioned Chicago Ray. You got Insurrection Barbie.

Gosh, forgive me if I'm not. Jeff Carlson. There's a thousand people on X, I can tell you, for $10,000 who are really good. And it only does the movement good for us to cross-promote people's stuff.

Yeah, and she's correct. This is one of the first things Peppermint Patty said in a long time that's actually accurate. And you guys should be very proud of yourself for this. This is kind of a celebratory moment, not meant to be some kind of educational thing. It's just meant to reward really, really good behavior. So we keep doing it, me included. This reminds me that what we do is different.

We don't see the success of Western Lensman or Mays Morris taking away from my Twitter. Keep doing it. This is how you win elections. But more importantly, listen, it's how you win over people's minds. The democratization of information. The left can't do it. They see everything as power, power, power. This takes from me, takes from me. That's why they're so miserable all the time.

We're a bunch of happy warriors. Look at you guys in the chat. We got the McGroin crew. We're always trying to celebrate stuff. So thank you. All right, moving on, because I got to get to some more really substantive stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Folks, one of the things I pride myself on in this show is debunking stupid left-wing narratives so that you have the material to go forward and, in the educational part of the edutainment thing, educate your silly liberal friends sometimes about their dopey narratives. And I got to tell you, one narrative over the last few days that is driving me bananas is the Eric Adams case up in New York.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Just a quick brief, here's an abstract on it. For those of you who don't know, most of you do, but... Eric Adams is the mayor of New York. Not a particularly big fan of the guy. I think you know that. We were cops at the same time in New York, but that's a long story. I'm the spreadsheets guy. I don't get emotional. He's been a plus one on some issues lately, a negative on a whole lot of others.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
You get the point. Eric Adams was under investigation by the Justice Department, the United States Justice Department, obviously, for what appeared to be some acts of corruption, kind of quid pro quos while we're on the topic, right? The Justice Department thought it was a weak case and needed Eric Adams as the mayor of New York City, a very important guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
They need him to clean up New York City because they've got a really bad public safety situation with illegal immigration. So I'm sitting here watching this, and have you seen the liberals melt down on this? You can't do these deals and offers with the Justice Department to meet public safety ends and all this stuff like that. That never happens.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And I'm like, do we have any cops in the chat or feds? You don't have to out yourselves. I get it. I understand. But we probably do if you feel comfortable and you have an anonymous name. Go right ahead. Contrary to what people say, we love anonymity. We just don't like deep staters pretending to be us, right? We love it. Cops and feds out there, you're probably laughing right now, correct?

The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Because you know where I'm going with this. Freaking deals are cut all the time by the federal government and the Justice Department. For political reasons, too. Are you crazy? Did you miss something? So I decided to show you, Democrats, again, how crazy you are. Can't cut a deal with Eric Adams. Really?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Then how come Obama was cutting deals with banks to let them off the hook for civil and criminal investigations as long as the banks did what Obama wanted? Oh, so it's cool with Obama, but it's just not cool when Trump does it. So again, you're just making it up. Here, watch yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Thank you, Sarge3776. He says, Retired Fed Leo, stands for law enforcement officer. Damn right. Thank you, Sarge. Listen to the feds in my chat right now and the police officers. They're good guys. These are good, decent people who busted their ass, put their lives on the line, enforcing the law. Folks, this stuff happens all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
You just listen to Obama say, hey, banks, we won't prosecute you, but here's what you're going to do. You're going to give a bunch of money to a bunch of left-wing groups out there? The left, not only did they have no problem with that, they loved it. The Justice Department Eric Adams case is far less awful than that. They don't think it's a great case to begin with.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
So you don't prosecute a case that you don't think is open and shut at this point, especially with such a serious outcome before an election in a primary. And second, they need something from the mayor. Make the United States safe. This happens all the time. Gosh, these arguments. Can you lefties just get better at this? I got to tell you, you can almost make my show boring.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
It's so easy with you idiots. Nobody ever cuts deals in the federal government. Have you? Guys, all right, chatsters, I need you again. Folks in the chat, I can't call you a chatster. Some guy says he hates it. So I love my audience, right? Folks in the chat.

There's actually a thing called a cooperation agreement in the federal government where bad guys agree to cooperate and do stuff for the Justice Department. You can look it up.

Thank you, Bone Charge. Here's what I mean. I was talking before about that Jen Psaki segment. How we are the media now. We have just gotten really good at this. Cross-promoting, pumping up ex-accounts we like, feeding off other people's content and then using it in your show and then sending people back to the Mays Moore account and then sending them to Western Lensman.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
This only works for all of us. This is how we start a movement. Change can be turned around. Change can change back. Movements are different. Donald Trump has started a movement, but Donald Trump has started a movement because of the buy-in by us.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
We are the media now, and it's really starting to freak out people on the left who are starting to realize that their own movement are cannibalistic, they eat themselves alive, and they get lost in emotion rather than results. Check this clip out.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I can't get enough of these clips of Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller is a deputy chief of staff at the White House under Donald Trump. I think going on CNN and humiliating them there is a really good idea. Some people disagree. They say, stay off these crazy networks. But this is where a lot of persuadable people are.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Folks, this thing goes on. These guys that you're seeing now, this is what kind of concerns me in a way. I almost don't even put that clip up in kind of a celebratory manner. We should be, right? The Democrats are recognizing they've got a problem and they've been on the wrong side of the political argument for a long time now.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I don't say that because Democrats being on the wrong side of the argument has really assisted us in winning over hearts and minds. But I'm going to warn you in advance. There are people in the party, and not just a few now, who are starting to figure this out. However, have no fear. The lunatics are still running the asylum. Here is CNN again. I want you to watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
This is Stephen Miller on CNN. I'm trying to show you again how they cannot get past the emotion of, we hate Elon, we hate Donald Trump. You've got people like this telling them. It is popular. It is almost... universally popular to clean up government waste and fraud. You're on the wrong side of it. And they're still trying to find ways to attack this effort.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And Stephen Miller says, hey, listen, why aren't you guys celebrating this stuff? I don't understand. The answer is because they hate it. They're lost in emotion, not results. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I think the biggest mistake the liberals made in the last election, Kamala Harris and others, is not going on Joe Rogan and Fox. Not that they would have convinced us, but they got smoked. Icing out Fox and others. Don't replicate this strategy. I know some of you disagree. Totally cool. This is not a monarchy. You're entitled to your own opinion. A lot of people online stay off these networks.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Folks, this is the Dan Bongino show your ass theory of liberal media people. I want you to understand whether it's the opening, the opening segment there with Brianna Keillor or this one on CNN. CNN and MSNBC are not acting logically with reason or using rationality. They simply hate Donald Trump. Donald Trump teams up with Elon. Therefore, by proxy, they hate Elon. They're not acting rationally.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Don't ask me why are they doing this. It's popular to cut government waste. They're going to destroy their party. I just played for you the Democrats saying they're destroying their party. There's going to be a couple of people in the party like this guy before I played saying they're committing suicide who are going to see what's going on. But it's going to take a long time.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
That's why I'm telling you we're in the golden age. We have about two years to really fix this government before the Democrats get over the emotions of we hate these guys. Every single argument they're making is ridiculous. Brianna Keeler or whatever those, you know, oh, I want to clean up government waste and fix it. OK, we're cleaning up government waste. Why aren't you celebrating this?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Because we really hate Elon. Here's part two of this. I want you to notice something here. She pulls this little trick here. She drops a huge L on this argument about IRS privacy and government employees. Are they creeping, peeking in on your information? She drops a huge L on it on the first part. So she switches it to a privacy argument. Privacy argument?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
The left wing didn't care about privacy when Lois Lerner and the IRS were holed up in front of Congress for using your IRS data to target the Tea Party. The left defended it to the death. Everything they tell you is crap, just like the DOJ argument. The DOJ never cuts deals with Eric Adams. I just played for you, Obama cutting the deal.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
But watch her change the argument to a privacy argument when she gets smoked on the open here. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
You see how she tries to switch the argument? So now she's not concerned about waste anymore. She loses the waste argument. So now she goes to, oh, it's all about privacy and IRS data. We're really concerned about that. Really? Because when there was a massive scandal not that long ago where the Obama IRS was targeting and had to publicly apologize for targeting conservatives and Tea Party people,
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
By accessing their data, and by the way, corrupting data and deleting IRS emails about what they did, the left defended this to the death. They'll defend it to this day. These people are liars and frauds. It is your job, the democratization of information, to spread this stuff around the conservative ecosystem.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Totally cool. I disagree. I used to do CNN all the time. I used to love to argue over there. This is Breonna Keillor, obviously not very bright. Listen to her ask a question about Doge to Stephen Miller. Get completely wrecked by an intellect 10x hers, right? And then pretend she knew the answer the whole time, which makes you wonder if she knew the answer, why did she ask the question?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I want you to watch this Fox segment about Lois Lerner, who was running the IRS at the time when they were... They were exchanging emails about how to target conservatives. The emails disappeared. And what you notice how she pleads the fifth. They were so interested in information in the left that they celebrated her pleading the fifth and not telling you anything. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And I don't know about you, but I'm not tired about the winning. Judge Bongino has ruled. Keep the winning coming. The verdict is in. Listen, I got a big show for you today. Folks, the situation in the negotiations for Ukraine, the future of Ukraine, the future of Russia, the European Union are getting really hot. And they're getting really hot right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Notice what she does there, too. She first tells you how she's innocent and then says, oh, and I plead the fifth. I'm not going to say anything. I'm going to invoke the Fifth Amendment, but I'm going to say something first. Where were all the left wingers back then talking about? Well, listen, these are government employees accessing our data, using our data to target us politically.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Well, the answer is they weren't there because they're full of shit. That's why. Nothing they're telling you is true. They don't care about privacy. Matter of fact, I'm going to show you how corrupted this system is. This is a federal judge. He's on with a host of this show here, and this federal judge asked about Lois Lerner.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I want you to watch or listen to in about a minute here the hoops this guy jumps through to try and defend the IRS deleting emails, corrupting your data. What they accused Doge of doing, they did themselves. Tucker always said, whatever the left accuses you of doing, they're doing. I want you to watch this judge, his name may sound familiar, Reinhart, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Jump through hoops to defend the leading emails. Meanwhile, nothing's even happened with the Doge selling your data or corrupting your data or anything. And they've already jumped through hoops to convict them that they're guilty. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Someone in the administration admits that the destruction of two years of emails from Lois Lerner is fishy. To you, does this pass the smell test?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And one of the problems with that might be the fact that there have been some new emails surfacing that Lerner apparently warned some of her colleagues about that. Maybe you've seen those emails. And we have one on the screen here. I was cautioning folks about emails and how we had several occasions where Congress has asked for emails.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Now, was this getting back to what you were mentioning at the very onset of this interview, where you have maybe this is a smoking gun that proves there was some sort of conspiracy here?

What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
They never see it because they don't want to see it. Yet with the Doge, you get the lens, the distorted lens with the Doge. When it comes to shrinking government, they see corruption everywhere. It's like the Sixth Sense, that movie. I hate that people, right? They see it everywhere. They don't have any actual evidence. Breonna Keillor, CNN, none of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Rachel Maddow, they have no evidence of any corruption at all, but they see it. But yet when corruption's in front of your face, the IRS actually apologized for targeting the Tea Party, deleted emails, and used your data to target you. They don't see it anywhere. I've never seen a clearer example of the schemes and scams the left pulls in the messaging wars than this.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
The Doge versus Lois Lerner in the IRS. Tim Burchard's great congressman from Tennessee. He was on CNN yesterday. This was a great hit. He's talking about exactly this again. This whole IRS argument that the Doge is somehow sneaking around your tax returns. Folks, tax returns, I mean, they have already, the tax returns were leaked. You had Donald Trump's tax returns leaked. The IRS has no proof.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
You had the guy who was just convicted of stealing all this data. OPM, the Office of Personnel Management, as data has been stolen by the Chinese Communist Party. I mean, the government employees have a near 10, 20 year history now, not all, but sadly some, of leaking or engaging in shady data practices that have led to the government getting hacked and information stolen.

Elon's companies don't have any history of that. So I'll take his guys, sign them up for the government job, say, use your expertise to clean this up. Here's Burchett on CNN. Hey, this is like, this is an entire, this is a canard, this whole thing. Check this out. You'll see what I mean.

Here's another host on the same. There's that Pamela Brown. I don't even know. It doesn't even matter. They all blend in at some point. Well, they all spout the same stupid talking points. She asked him a question about the IRS inefficiencies, the Doge and access. He's answering the question of how how inefficient data exchange is with the IRS that he can't even get answers for constituents.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And her response is, well, I'm not saying there's no. Yes, you are saying you don't want to hear about the problems. He's telling you the problems and you're ignoring it. Folks, we are the media now. Remember that Jen Psaki clip? That's a keeper. It's maybe one of the only true things she's ever said. We are the media now because we share, because we're not mercenary and we're not selfish.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
The show is not about Dan Bongino. I've said it a thousand times and I back it up by action. We cite stuff. We had to people because it is my job to be an activist first and a host second. So good to have a conservative show with a country that's been taken over by a bunch of communists. Can we all agree?
The Dan Bongino Show

And thankfully, the Mark Levins of the world, Hannity and the other friends might see it the same way. I got my start with people like that. Glenn Beck, all of them. They helped me out when I needed it. We are different. And I need you now, too. Because I need you to, again, debunk some more leftist crap out there right now as they try to eviscerate the Trump administration.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Folks, President Trump and Secretary Duffy. have been working overnight, ridiculously long hours, I know this for a fact, to try to fix the train wreck, pothole Mayor Pete, this life loser left behind at the Department of Transportation. Folks, it is a train wreck. Our infrastructure's falling apart. The interstate highway system's a mess. Our airports are from the freaking Flintstones.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
The FAA air traffic control system is something out of like Close Encounters of the Third Kind. No one even knows what the hell, if it even works anymore. We've got staffing issues. You had DEI infecting the whole place. It's a train wreck. The secretary's been in there, I don't know, three weeks, four weeks. Hey, I'll add a few weeks for him. Say he's been in there six weeks. The place is a mess.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
It's going to take a while to clean up. So, of course, leave it up to the lefties to double down on an air traffic accident that happened in Canada that has nothing to do with the United States FAA, Secretary Duffy or Trump. Leave it up to them to try and put the blood on Donald Trump's hands because this is what they do. Here, listen to Dana Bash on CNN. They can't stop, folks. They can't.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Okay, so what do we do on this show? We do facts. It's really crazy. What is that? We do facts. So Dana Bash, of course, total life loser, on her show is eager to pin a deadly, tragic accident on the new secretary and the president of the United States. Of course, there's no actual evidence, just like they don't have evidence of anything we've showed you during the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Matter of fact, we have counter evidence because we produce receipts. She puts up a chart showing that, what, about 10,000 people have been let go from the government, and she notes FAA people, too. Now, notice what she leaves out. It's a lie by omission. that none of those people are actually air traffic controllers.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And the accident was in Toronto, which last time I checked was in Canada, which is not yet the 51st state. They are a separate country, okay? I mean, I'm not great at geography, but I'm pretty sure it's right north of us. It doesn't matter. Oh, thank you. Hundreds of FAA employees. None of them were safety people either. None of them. So I just thought, like, you know, facts kind of matter here.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Did she not know that? So the president's running. Do you understand how stupid this is? The president appoints the director of the Secret Service, too. It doesn't mean the president is sitting in the Secret Service office over on H Street and headquarters on the eighth floor sitting there making decisions. But the Secret Service under the Department of Homeland Security works for the president.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
So she's talking about like 10,000 people. How many people work in the federal government? So, Michael, I did this crazy thing. You know what I put in the search engine? What do you think question I put in there? How did you know that? This guy's so smart. He's like a math major. I actually put in the search engine, how many people work for the federal government? It's crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
A website called USA Facts. How many people work for the federal government? Around 3 million. So the federal government is so sensitive to personnel exchange. By the way, more people resign every year than is up on Dana Bash's chart.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
The federal government is so sensitive and fragile that out of a bloated 3 million person workforce, when 10,000 people go and 100 or so people who are new and weren't even safety people, the whole government's going to collapse. Wow. It's good to know. I'm not sure you're making the argument you think you are.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
but leave it to left-wing lunatics to engage in meltdowns, ridiculous anti-Trump hyperbole. You want to see the show your ass theory in action where Dana Bash has to say something dumb, making this ridiculous, alluding to the fact that, oh, these layoffs, it may have something to do with a plane crash in Canada, which only a moron would believe.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
So what the show your ass theory is, other liberals have to say something even crazier to get attention. Here is Brian Tyler Cohen saying, I've never seen this guy's show, but we're going to make him famous now. Here is Brian Tyler Cohen just having a meltdown. He needs to see a psychotherapist. Again, trying to blame this on Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show

Of course, Mayor Pete and him have nothing to do with it, despite having been in charge for the last four years. Check this out.

What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Folks, this is why that guy Alex Karp, that CNBC segment I showed in the beginning, who says, hey, I'm a Democrat, but this party's committing suicide. It is the show your ass theory in action. They don't care what they're saying is ridiculous. Secretary Duffy and Donald Trump have nothing to do with a plane crash in Canada.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
OK, that looks like it could have been potentially error or if nothing to do with it. It doesn't matter. You have to say increasingly crazier things to get attention. like this one too. Here's Jen Rubin, commentator at the Washington Post, or when she resigned, I don't even know. You want to talk about someone who constantly has to one-up the crazy?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I want you to listen to her and George Conway, another, that's a whole other story, on a panel talking about how Trump voters, implying that you ladies and gentlemen out there, that you can't even read. Do you doubt me? Listen to yourself. Check this out.

Brianna, I'm serious. Are you this dumb or are you just playing dumb? Do you think the CEO of the Ford Motor Company, who has a technology development division, is working on in his office a microprocessor for their new whatever electric car? Do you think he's actually doing that right there? You mean he's not the administrator? Are these people this stupid? The answer is they're not. They're not.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Notice everybody in the audience laughs, too. They think it's hilarious. No one corrects her and says, hey, Jen, we just lost in a landslide every single swing state, despite not having the media, academia, the sports world, CEOs, boards. We have none of it. We, I mean, excuse me, we evolved the left, the MAGA crowd has none of it. And we just lost. Maybe it's us.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Nobody, they think it's hilarious. This is the show your ass theory in action. They will keep doing this. It's the only way to get attention is to say increasingly crazy stuff.

They're playing dumb because they're not serious people. What they're doing is they're trying to find a way to object to the Doge, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, and government employees in the Doge uncovering the fraud that people in the left-wing media are trying to protect. So what do they do? They're just inventing new arguments every day. What do you mean?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
The president's not the administrator of Doge? Are you this stupid? All right, moving on. In the chat, do you guys want me to stop playing this stuff on CNN? I got to tell you, I know we talk about edutainment, educational entertainment. There's really no educational value to this at all. I'm serious. It's only entertainment.

There are good guys who can do bad things. There are bad guys who can do things that may be good for us. There are mediocre guys who can do nothing, making them in fact bad players because they do nothing. The world is not an easy place of Captain America and the Red Skull. Kids think like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I'm really getting sick of the left-wingers out there and even some kind of war hawks on the right when they discuss Ukraine, leaving out various factors here that are important. Yes, can we all agree on some basic facts? The Ukrainians did not deserve any of this, okay? I don't believe in any way, shape, or form that the Ukrainian people were the bad guys in this.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And the media, of course, is mischaracterizing the whole thing to the point that even insiders are starting to say right now, well, at least Trump is saying out loud what Biden was trying to do privately. Biden just didn't have the courage to say it. I'll get into that in a minute, and I want to ask a critical question. What does Zelensky know, and when did he know it?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
If the Ukrainians stop fighting, there'd be no Ukraine. Has been said many times. If Russians stop fighting, there'd be peace. Fine. That argument is a solid and decent data-based argument to make. But suggesting here that... Zelensky, the current president of Ukraine, that his hands are clean in what's been a global attack on populism and Donald Trump is ridiculous.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Donald Trump knows this, folks. There's a true social post he put out just minutes before we got on the air where he's starting to ask simple questions. Thank you, guys. Got this up pretty quickly. He says, hey, we spent hundreds of billions of dollars in a war that couldn't be won. and never had a star, but a war that he, without the U.S. and Trump, will never be able to settle.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
He's talking about Zelensky. He's talking about all this money we spent, more than Europe, and the United States is getting nothing back. Why is Donald Trump so upset about this? He's talking about Zelensky not hosting elections, too. Not holding elections, excuse me. Folks, Donald Trump was impeached. Impeached from... Luckily, he won the trial, of course. It wasn't luck. It was a crap case.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
But because of a phone call with who? Anybody know? Zelenskyy. The phone call, the allegations at the time, in case you forgot, you probably didn't, was that it was a quid pro quo call that Donald Trump was calling because he wanted information about Hunter Biden in exchange for military support. The transcript, of course, was released by the Trump team. The transcript showed no such quid pro quo.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
It did show, in fact, Donald Trump asking Zelensky about what the Biden team was up to In Ukraine, because I believe Donald Trump, in his head, believed there were serious violations of U.S. law that could have caused a national security crisis. The Biden team had a number of suspicious business dealings with Ukrainian officials, and Trump was trying to get to the bottom of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Zelensky knew what happened on that phone call. Why? Because he was on the phone call! But I want you to remember a little bit of history here. Zelensky could have saved the United States a lot of drama by immediately coming out and defending Donald Trump vigorously and loudly and uncovering for the American people what Joe Biden had been up to because he knew it's his government. But he didn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
He didn't. So Donald Trump, I can almost guarantee you, who knows this, is very suspicious of Zelensky because of what he and some of the people in his government did to sweep under the rug the Joe Biden madness, which led to Donald Trump's impeachment. I'm going to serve you a little reminder here. This is a New York Post video, right? This is a hat tip New York Post.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Folks, I documented this extensively in my book, Follow the Money, how this insane in Ukraine, that's the name of the chapter, how Ukraine has been treated like a piggy bank for a long time by a lot of people. It's one of the reasons Donald Trump was impeached, and Zelensky knows about it. Why hasn't he come clean on that? We got a lot to talk about today. Don't go anywhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
This is a recorded phone call between Joe Biden, Joe Biden and Petro Poroshenko, who was the president of Ukraine before Zelensky from 2014 to 2019. I want you to listen about how afraid Joe Biden is, how he's lobbying Poroshenko to basically make this thing go away and he'll sign this billion dollar IMF aid package if Poroshenko makes it go away.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Now, you may say, well, this was Poroshenko, not Zelensky. Folks, Zelensky knows about all of this. You think he's unaware of what his government was up to with Joe Biden before?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And I want you to listen to the part where Poroshenko says clearly, well, it's a little bit of an accent, but clearly, I mean, that he doesn't have any negative information, but he'll fire the people looking into this stuff anyway to protect Joe Biden. Zelensky knows this. It's going to lead to my next story about Zelensky in a second. But check this out first.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
Two things happen in this phone call. Biden, again, is celebrating that a prosecutor in Ukraine looking into Biden family corruption in conjunction with Ukrainian officials, that the official got fired. The president at the time, Poroshenko, clearly says, I specifically, or he says specially, I think he meant specifically.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
He says, I specially asked him to resign even though I had no evidence of corruption. You just heard it. No one disputes the authenticity of the tape. This is the famous son of a bee thing. Well, I had him fired. Son of a bee. I had him fired. The guy was looking into Biden's family and they had him fired despite no evidence of corruption. What does that have to do with today, sir?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
And what's got me all fired up this morning? You know, we don't cover a ton of foreign affairs on the show, but I'm telling you, man, this has me really pissed off. I've been writing about this forever.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
I'm telling you, the whole first chapter of my Follow the Money book is about the Ukrainian piggy bank, how people have been using this place for years, and Ukraine could clean it up if they would just clean up their own government, and they don't want to do it. Zelensky knows all of this. That is what Trump was talking about, and he didn't clear it up. This geopolitics thing is complicated.

That's why this got me really riled up this morning. Daily Mail. This is from just this morning. Zelensky condemns Trump. Really? Hold on. Leave that up there for a minute. Listen, man. I'm sorry, but this guy has got to be one of the worst international negotiators I have ever seen.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
As you saw from the True Social post, Donald Trump, the United States government, President Biden before, the American people have been bankrolling a significant chunk of the Ukrainian defense effort. And you're condemning our president? We picked? Zelensky condemns Trump. Ukrainian leader says the U.S. president is in a disinformation bubble. He's not in a disinformation bubble.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
You guys helped create it. The disinformation was he was impeached over a quid pro quo that never happened and you knew about it. He's in a disinformation bubble, they say. Demanding $500 billion in minerals is not a serious conversation. And says Donald Trump has helped Putin. Really? How exactly has he helped Putin? He's giving you, the Ukrainian government, hundreds of billions of dollars.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
All he's asking is where's $30 trillion in debt? If we are going to help you... stave off annihilation by the Russians with our money that we're already in debt, then there should be some path to making this whole. So I've got an idea. You guys have rare earth minerals in Ukraine that we need.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Did Zelensky Know? When Did He Know It? (Ep. 2426)
It's insensitive territory, by the way, that this is another, you're not really hearing this angle anywhere else. The rare earth minerals are in sensitive parts of Ukraine that the Russians are going to want. This deal only, this is a, I hate the term win-win because it's so stupid and juvenile, but this is a win-win-win-win-win.

And a friend calls me and is asking me about some advice about something that Donald Trump's got to make a decision on. And I said to the friend, I said, you need to call him.

This freaking CR, this budget they are proposing, is the biggest double-barreled middle finger the conservatives I've seen in a long time. I am not into Republican-on-Republican political violence. However, Speaker Johnson, we're back to the spreadsheet here. This is not even a minus one.
The Dan Bongino Show

This would basically fund the government through March 14th into next year. Obviously, the bill is a complete abomination and a train wreck. There are no highlights. There are a ton of lowlights. I picked out two.

I mean, obviously, in addition to the massive amount of spending, there are no government cuts in this thing at all. Why we would pass this thing, I have absolutely no idea. Shut it down if you have to. There is no way we should fund this thing. Gabe Kaminsky points out in his tweet, at the funding bill, includes a one-year extension on the State Department's Global Engagement Center.

Global Engagement Center, you may be saying, what the hell is that? Well, what has two thumbs and going to explain it to you? This cat right here. The Global Engagement Center was basically the censorship branch of the State Department. Why would we fund that into next year? I don't know, because you didn't read the bill. I have no idea. Kaminsky's got the section of it right there.

Title III, foreign affairs, global engagement center extension. This thing needs to be abolished immediately. You like being censored? You hearing all these stories now? Facebook and Google are all showing up at Mar-a-Lago. Let me just say to the Trump transition team, listen, man, I'm your friend.

I think you know that, but I'm also a realist, and I'm a pretty good guy for advice, and the Bongino Army was there for you. Now you got to be there for us. Unless you can get a commitment from these guys to cut the bullshit, they should not be welcome at Mar-a-Lago. Facebook is still censoring. Google is still censoring. It's all bullshit.

I saw Cernovich put something out this morning with some names of people who he says were censored. I'm not sure if they were or weren't. I can tell you our Facebook page got crushed.

Ours has been sliced in half. I don't give a shit about the money. That's not the point. The point is the reach of my page has been crushed by Facebook. We were the number one conservative Facebook page in the world. They annihilated us. This is bullshit. Now we're funding the Global Engagement Center? What the hell are we doing? Whose dumbass idea was that?

I thought we were, President Trump just won a massive mandate. It's his party now. 90 plus percent of Republicans approve of what's happening in this transition. And we're funding this shit, Bill? Here's a guy I'm really starting to like, this Congressman Burleson. He was on Newsmax. He was pushing back against this absolute shit CR. Speaker Johnson, again, this is just a spreadsheet for me.

I'm not your enemy, okay? But I am the enemy of bad shit. This is really, really stupid. There's also, by the way, a carve-out for Obamacare in there because Obamacare sucks so bad. Members of Congress don't want to be in it, so they get to pull themselves out of Obamacare. I thought Obamacare was great. Not for members of Congress. Here's Burleson saying, hey, we just won.

Producer Jim just noted, too, Congress gave themselves a raise in this. I'm not interested in giving these guys and women a raise. Why would we give them a raise? A raise for what?

I think they'll be fine. Burleson's right. Why are we catering? I get what you're afraid of. They're afraid of after the Trump election, what they've been afraid of for the last 20 years. You guys in the chat know what it is. They're afraid of the media is going to say we shut the government down. The media is going to say we're starving grandma.

We're the ones typically with our fingers on the pulse because we do a lot of research as to what the left is saying. I got a clip of a MSNBC reporter coming up next. But they'll never, ever... pay attention to what we're doing without seeing us through some bizarre lens. Long and short of it is we're always ahead of the news cycle.

It doesn't matter. Nobody listens to these idiots. Only 30% of America, according to that Gallup poll or whatever it was, trust the media. It doesn't matter. We're the media now. We should not be, I get you're not going to get everything you want right now. I understand that. Trump has not been sworn in yet. The new Congress isn't there yet. We still don't have the Senate.

But my gosh, at least put up a fight against this. Are we serious about preventing this inevitable bankruptcy of the United States of America or not? Here's Chip Roy, one of the few consistent voices on cutting government spending, saying exactly right. Folks, we are going to have to be honest with the American people about our natural trajectory towards a bankruptcy cliff.

Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
There is a lot of stuff that's going to have to go. Government goodies are not government goodies. There's money stolen from you by the government and given to other people.

Listen to me. Bongino Army, friends, friends, colleagues, some of you watch my show. We just had a massive seismic shift election, a landslide by any objective measure considering the political political winds of the time. Donald Trump won because of two or three big issues. The border, inflation, probably public safety, and a couple of other things you can throw in there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
But there's zero question, based on exit polling, that inflation had a ton to do with it. People said, I don't want inflation. I want Donald Trump back when inflation was under 2%. What causes inflation? Anyone know in the chat? It's not hard. Government prints money to make up for the shortfall it doesn't have. When it prints money, it goes into the economy and drives up prices. This isn't hard.

If you helicopter drop a bunch of money on an island that only has $100 and you drop $1,000, everything's going to cost more because there's now $1,100 chasing the products on the island. This isn't difficult.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
We have to start making the case in these like Ross Perot, like half an hour commercials on TV to America, how the government taking your money, spending it and then printing more when it doesn't have enough money to take from you is causing the inflation crisis. And it's going to have to stop. This isn't a hard argument to make. They just don't want to do it.

No more spending more than we take in. It's going to take time, but we've got to start somewhere. Every single freaking bill, omnibus, CRs, budget bills, every single department bill.

that Donald Trump tried to commandeer the presidential limo and did like some jujitsu move on the limo driver on January 6th because they wouldn't take him to the Capitol.

He's, like, staring at me all weird. He's doing some, like, Jedi mind trick on me. The guy in the limo was Bobby Engel.

Oh, Trump is appointing controversial picks. Really? We were right again. I got that. An update on the CR. And a piece of video by a liberal MSNBC fake news journalist. But it really kind of nails Donald Trump. I know that sounds crazy. Stay tuned. You'll see what I mean. It's an important piece of video. Try Beam's Dream Powder.

I'm going to show you the receipts, too, coming up. Donald Trump's like, we're not pulling our guys out. You want to toy with us on the swampy Republican side? We'll primary your ass. The second lesson. is they let the media now discredit themselves. Instead of responding to every single thing the media does, Trump is letting the media discredit themselves.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
Yes, sir, he did. You caught that, right? Van Jones and the Democrats know so little about how to get a message out on the left, and I applaud him for at least acknowledging it. He's not hiding it. That they called Kai Sinat Kai-sent. If you don't know Kai Sanat, you know nothing about live streaming. Now, you may say, well, Kai Sanat is basically an influencer out there. He has a show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
It's ridiculously popular. He's one of the few guys... who will beat us on a live stream. We were number one last night and the night before. We had beat Kai. Kai will beat us a lot, though. Who's Kai Sanat? He is a really funny kid who has a show, young man, and he gets millions of people watching that thing and hundreds of thousands on live stream.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
If you don't know that, get the hell out of politics. I'm sorry. He has an audience and you don't. And it's not Kai Senth. It's Kai Sanat. Who's Aiden Ross? Same thing. A massive young influencer with a huge audience. If you don't know who he is, get out of politics. There's something significant about Aiden Ross. What's significant? Donald Trump did his show, what, a month before the election?
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
And 500,000 streamers tuned in. I think it was like the third or fourth biggest live stream of the entire year. That's who Aiden Ross is. They don't even know who he is. Jinxy, these are all gamers. Then I love the, he doesn't even know the platforms. Kick, you don't know what Kick is? Twitch, Rumble, you've never heard of Rumble.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
The biggest live streamer in the world and three of the top 10 are on Rumble. Bannon, Crowder, and me. If you don't know anything about Rumble, get the hell out of politics. We have blindsided these people on technology and Donald Trump gets it. The left is totally behind.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
They really believe people like Rachel Maddow and MSNBC and Stuart Thompson at the New York Times are controlling the dialogue. Why would you believe that? You keep getting your ass kicked on messages, on political national elections. The entire political climate of the country is changing because you don't understand how to get a message out. They still believe in stuff like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
You got that Rachel Maddow clip. Hot tip, the great Maze Moore. A great follow on X. M-A-Z-E-M-O-R-E. A really great account. Here's Maze Moore. Here's Rachel Maddow. They believe this shit. Here she is. You're going to hear her in 2016 touting a fake news poll out of South Carolina before they got their ass kicked in that election.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
Then you're going to hear her in 2024 touting another fake news poll out of Iowa. You want to know why the left believes shit like this? Because they don't know who Kai Sanat, Aiden Ross, and Jinxie are. That's why. They have no idea what's coming in this new era of media consumption. Check this out.

He figured out that, yes, it is worth taking him on. But it's not worth taking him on on every issue. Why? Because the Bongino Army's here for that. Everyone in the chat, raise your hand, put a big hand waver in the chat. That's what we're here for. He doesn't need to take on every fight. Let them discredit themselves. He does not need to be knee deep in every single thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
Why would you believe stupid shit like that? Because you're consuming yesterday's media that only has a small sliver of America as a dedicated eyeball audience. The rest of America are elsewhere. They're on Rumble. They're on Twitch. They're on YouTube. They're on Truth. I don't know what to tell you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
I'm not trying to coach you on how to be better, but you can continue to shit on Rumble all you want. The bottom line is we're winning and you're losing. Even Van Jones' kid is watching. You think it's an accident that now close to 142,000 people are here? Ladies and gentlemen, it's freaking lunchtime. We're not even on in primetime. You may say, oh, 142,000 people.

That doesn't even count Apple and Spotify. And it's not just us. We're the media now. Here's a great clip by Michael Schellenberger. People are catching on. That nobody believes these people anymore.

Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
Folks, we're the media now. By the way, I haven't covered the drone thing that much in the last couple days because I don't want to saturate you. There's a lot going on. The CR, the transition, there's bigger stories. However, you may not trust Mike McFaul. He's a Republican congressman. You may or may not. But I'll play the clip for you tomorrow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
He does have some inside information and seems to indicate that these are in fact drones. Some of them, some, just like I told you that are from China, foreign adversary. You don't have to believe him. You don't have to believe me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
I'm just saying the overwhelming amount of evidence points in that direction that at least some of these things that are still unexplained are being left unexplained for a reason because the government doesn't want to tell you how shitty of a job they're doing protecting our airspace. Hey, man, listen, I can't thank you enough for your support of Rumble.

They learned that lesson. And I'm telling you, this transition has just been different. They have effectively learned to manage political capital. Hey, I need you guys to bust up the chat for me right now, too. We had a little Safari issue yesterday with the chat. Everybody put something in the chat right now.

Gosh, if you guys are missing this every day at 11 a.m., join in. There's not a chat like this anywhere on the internet. Anywhere. Period. We're in charge. We can dissect the media stuff. They don't need to fight every fight. This transition has run so smoothly right now. Even Jerry Baker at the Wall Street Journal, who let me say in advance, I like his work. He's not a Trump guy. I will...
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
Pursue a broad spectrum of opinions trying to put my show together. We don't have to agree on everything. Jerry Baker, the journal, is not a Trump guy. But this article is worth your time. Trump is back, this time without disdain. As his domestic critics have gotten in line, so the world has saluted his restoration, if reluctantly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
He's basically acknowledging in the piece that this is totally different this time. That Trump is coming into office with a massive amount of political power we haven't seen since 2004. We just haven't. And Trump knows how to use it this time. So I gave you my two takeaways. Flynn and they're letting the media discredit themselves without jumping in on every single thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
They're learning to be more tactical. And Republicans are responding positively. Ladies and gentlemen, it's why I titled the show this day. This is Trump's GOP now. You don't have to like it. Nobody gives a shit. It doesn't matter if you like it. It just is. It doesn't matter. It's like saying, I don't like the fact that 5 plus 5 equals 10. Nobody gives a shit if you like it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
That's what it equals. Here's a Harry Enten segment. He's a pollster over at CNN, so he has no reason, obviously, to lie about Trump's popularity. He's at CNN. They don't want to put on positive stories. But here, I want you to watch this segment about poll numbers about the Trump transition. Folks, the GOP approval for the transition is near universal, despite the media's transitionist stereo.

Folks, again, this is CNN. They have no reason to make Trump look good. They only have a reason to make Trump look bad. They're obviously ideologically opposed to every single thing he does. They hate the guy. They have no reason to do that. This is Trump's GOP now. Why do I put that out there? I'm never going to waste your time, man. I promise you.

The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
The show is meant to be entertaining, but I want it to be somewhat educational, too. Because, folks, GOP voters approve of what he's doing, moving in a more populist direction. That doesn't mean, that does not mean we are going to agree on everything. We are going to have to reform Social Security. Obviously, Donald Trump disagrees.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
I know that it's mathematically impossible to balance the budget without it. He has had to make some political calculations there. It doesn't mean I agree with him. I obviously didn't agree with him on his abortion stance or criminal justice reform.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
However, his stance on foreign policy, his stance on federal regulations, his stance on school choice, his stance on the economy and growth producing a growth producing agenda. I agree with all of that. His stance on the health care system, trying to things like right to try and other things he did. You're not going to agree with everything. The point is the numbers are the numbers.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
You can say all you want, you know, if you're the Wall Street Journal or these old school kind of center-right Republican outlets like National Review, that Donald Trump's a plague on the Republican Party, but just nobody agrees with you. Maybe you're the plague on the Republican Party. I'm sorry. You just don't get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
And the man understands during this transition that the political power is in his camp. It's different than 2016. And I don't mean this as an insult, folks. I was never the president. I don't know what it's like to be a businessman and then, boom, you're the most powerful man in the world walking in the Oval Office. I don't know what that's like. It must have been overwhelming.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
That's not the case this time. 2016, the transition was... I don't want to... It wasn't chaotic. It was just a little... not mission-focused and a bit disoriented in the beginning. That's not the case this time. It is totally different. Here he is, Trump, in the press the other day, warning people who don't get on board with this agenda.
The Dan Bongino Show
Things Have Changed, It's Trump's GOP Now (Ep. 2390)
He has the political capital, and he's freaking going to use it. that if you're not going to get behind his nominees and his vision for where we should take this country with his cabinet, that they may consider a primary. And I'm going to tell you something. If you're in a red state doing it, they should definitely consider a primary.

He understands his political capital this time. He's in charge. It is his party. He moved the needle in a direction that hadn't been moved in a long time with minority voters, Hispanic voters, the working class. Honestly, I think we're catering a little bit too much in some cases to especially organized labor. Listen, I want to cater to the working class American.

Organized labor's interest in specific spaces is not always in the best interest of working class Americans. And I know that sounds insane. Dan, organize it. It's the whole Mansour Olson concentrated interest in diffuse cost. Just because something may work for the steel industry in some small segment doesn't mean it works for workers across the country in the car industry that rely on steel.

However, he gets it. He has moved the country in a more populist direction. He has moved the party in a more populist direction. Folks, this guy gets it. I'm telling you, he understands politics like no politician in our lifetime. I mean personal politics. I want you to listen to this.

When even insane leftists at MSNBC like Stephanie Ruhle are acknowledging what I've repeatedly told you about Trump, I'm not name dropping anything that's stupid and you sound lame. But I'm telling you, having known President Trump for a while now, there isn't a person that understands personal politics like this guy. That does not change my view of politicians.

Everything should be viewed as a spreadsheet. They're a plus one or a minus one. But I'm not going to bullshit you either. Listen to me. And I think you know this. Tell me in the chat.

You can be the biggest asshole in politics, and believe me, a lot of people have been assholes to me. They do stuff that works for the conservative movement, I'll champion it. That's fine. You can't ignore the fact that establishing personal relationships with shows like this and others that it does make it hard to just view it like a spreadsheet.

No, Maisie, you were drunk at work. No, I wasn't. No, no, someone told me you were. Who? I don't know. It was anonymous. Someone called me and said Maisie was drunk at work. Who was it? I don't know. But it's got to be real because they said it. The weird thing is about these allegations, again, false smears of Pete Hegseth, is I actually worked with Pete at Fox. So did Will Kane. So did Rachel.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
So did Sabrina. So did all of my producers. And I believe Will, also Will, who was on my team, different Will altogether. It's incredible that we're willing to go on the record with our own names and reputations and say, that's fake. Pete Henseth was not drunk at work. You just made that up. And yet you've got anonymous people saying, no, no, it's true, but I just don't want to put my name on it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Okay, so you're lying. So you're lying. So you're lying. I worked with Pete a long time. Now, kind of lighten up the mood a little bit. Pete definitely doesn't drink at work. That I can tell you for a fact. But Pete does like to eat at work. Pete and I were good friends for a long time. We still are. Sent him a text this morning. He was nice to respond. Said, Godspeed in your new journey.

Sorry for the conversation starting the show, but I just totally off the beaten path of the show. I left the window open. You may see a little light on the screen. I'm sorry. It's just that's the shade blowing back and forth. I left the window open because it's so beautiful down here in Florida. It's like 60, 62 degrees, and it's so not Florida weather.

He didn't do a lot of drinking at work. Check this out. Pete, you know, one of the things I love about you is there are, like, rules whatever on TV. You don't eat on TV. You don't do that. You know, you and I really don't give a damn about these rules anyway. But as we brought up to Arati's before, no one likes eating on TV more than the great Pete Hegseth.

If you look at my face and those things, maybe I was eating too much too. I must've been about 30 pounds heavier back then. In case you think I'm ever making that up. Hey man, it's just true. But Guy, who has helped me produce the Fox show, I don't know if you know that, Guy remembers that show. And I'm going to tell you something about Pete. Pete had to get up really early on Saturday morning.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
That show was taped most of the time. You know what aired on Saturday night? We used to tape it on Friday. And sometimes we would tape it pretty late. And Pete used to come on. He didn't get paid extra or anything. Why? Because he was a friend. And we just had a good time together. That's who Pete Hegseth is. I'm sorry to kind of...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
you know, put that in there, but I want to show you who this guy really is. I'm not trying to humanize him. He's human. He humanizes himself. He was right. Amazing. He just said, right. Pete Hegseth is one of the few guests, by the way, who was never late. You know, many times Guy and I'd be sitting here like, holy shit, man. Seven o'clock is the hit time. What's hard about this?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
He's like the only guy who was always on time. You know what? Him having gone through, he has been here the longest. He remembers all this stuff. They tried to tell you a story yesterday, too. A story, not the story. And it's about bigger things. It's about DEI and lethality.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Foreign enemies of the United States have tried to get our military to be about everything but lethality forever because they want the country destroyed. And the Democrats want the country destroyed, too. That's why Pete Hegseth is an enemy to them. He wants DEI out and merit back and lethality back. I'll show you what I mean with this.

The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
We appreciate it. Here they are trying to tell you again a story that completely fell apart. The Democrats are in love with DEI. And I want you to notice something here. This is disgusting. Senator Jack Reed, another communist. He's trying to claim all these benefits to DEI, which should be D.I.E., judging people by everything but their merits, skin color, sex, all this other stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Notice in this clip here. And you'll see this all the time. This is why this is bigger than just Pete. He cites no data whatsoever, just his opinion that DEI, which involves treating people unfairly, is somehow beneficial to our military. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Really? You notice how they throw this out there all the time? I'm going to cover this tomorrow. There's a piece in Axios about this too. Our companies are moving away from DEI and it's so dangerous for the companies. You notice how they just make this stuff up?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Can you please explain to me how hiring someone based on the melanin content of their skin or where they were born has anything to do with the lethality of your operation or the effectiveness of your corporate board, your corporation, or your small business? Please explain it to me without sounding like an asshole, please.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
We're going to ask him about all kinds of things, reconciliation package, tariffs. Don't miss that interview. We really appreciate him coming on. I've also got some explosive information about Senator Tim Kaine, who seemed to be interested in Pete Hegsett's personal life. What about Senator Tim Kaine? What about him? Try Beam's Dream Powder.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Notice how the senator just throws that out there with absolutely zero data to back up whatsoever that DEI has anything to do with the success of your operation. It is successful in destroying it. He says I throw these Thomas Sowell clips in when we're thirsty for content. That's not today, as you can tell. I'm already 24 minutes in. Look, I got to like a quarter of the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
But the great Thomas Sowell had some thoughts on this. If there's one thing I need to get through to you about this D-I-E, die, D-E-I bullshit, it's that not only is it not a good thing, it is a genuinely evil thing because it requires you in the name of, quote, equity, ironically, to treat people unequally.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
If I am at a disadvantage because I am a white male, something completely out of my control, not because of my moral character, my work ethic, but I can't get a job. You are treating me unequally, ironically, in the name of equity. It is not just not good. It is evil and demonic, and it should be condemned everywhere. Watch Thomas Sowell on this quick clip. It's worth your time. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Folks, the evidence is everywhere. This die DEI bullshit does nothing but divide and conquer America, has nothing to do with merit, treats people fundamentally unequally, and in the name of equity, destroys equality. Do you understand why yesterday's hearing was about more than that? Do you understand why the Democrats brought that up with no evidence whatsoever?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Because the Democrats want America destroyed. And the best way to do it is to defenestrate and castrate our military by moving it away from lethality and making it a social experiment. That's why people like Mark Milley, a pathetic human being, were so horrible, were destructive figures in U.S. history. Mark Milley talking about, I want to learn about white rage. Really?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You want to learn about Nazism too? Does that have a role in the military? Disgusting. Of course, it got worse yesterday. Wait till I get to Tim Kaine. I'm not even close to done with this one. Here's Senator Dick Blumenthal. I want you to watch this. Dick Blumenthal, Tricky Dick, a lying piece of garbage who lied about his service in Vietnam.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Yeah, he was all over Pete yesterday with the faux character issues they just made up. In case you guys forgot, here's Tricky Dick Blumenthal, Democrat scum, garbage commie, telling you about his service in Vietnam. Do you guys know what the problem with his service in Vietnam is? Anyone have any idea? That just that he's so smart. Still in college, too. There was none. That's kind of a problem.

Service in Vietnam. That never, never happened. Let's get to Tim Kaine here for a minute. I'm going to show you this. Tim Kaine went on this tirade about Pete. I'm not even going to because Tim Kaine's a disgusting human being. I'm not going to play his allegations because they're disgusting and filthy and he's a piece of garbage. Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
A lot of you forget he was Hillary Clinton's nominee for vice president after she got her caboose handed to her by Donald Trump in 2016. Tim came on a disgusting, filthy rant against Pete Hegseth with a bunch of anonymous, unfounded, discredited smears. So I got a little tip about Tim Kaine.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
But before I get into the tip about Tim Kaine, here was Senator Mark Wayne Mullen just absolutely filleting these filthbag U.S. senators for their faux character standards that they can't seem to meet themselves. Check this out.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
One of the proudest days of my life, although I didn't know at the time, was when I lost in my race for office without sacrificing my principles. You get to be a good liar, you'll get elected. You can't lie in a swing district, you're not going to get elected. You know what? I'm okay with that. God had a different plan. But Mark Wayne Mullen is right. These people are garbage.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Ask their families, ask the lobbyists. These people are filth. And Tim Kaine may be the filthiest one of all. So I'm just going to read to you, almost word for word in order to protect the identity, of a source about something Tim Kaine was up to. Maybe Tim Kaine should go under oath and ask these questions, given that he has such high standards. Hold on, Tim. I know you're watching, by the way.

So during the show yesterday, I get a tip from a friend who says, you know, Dan, it's really interesting that disgusting Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, communist Democrats attacking Pete, because I have an unimpeachable source firsthand witness who told me, well, let's just read it here. That he witnessed Tim Kaine have quote nephews. He notes that's not a typo, plural nephews.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
come to his hotel room late evenings and leave in the morning when he was on the ticket with Hillary. He notes, and this guy has the nerve to attack Pete. Timbo, just curious, you got an answer for that? Is that a conspiracy theory? I mean, you're into unfounded allegations. The difference with this one is this seems to be founded by a firsthand witness passing this information on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
What do you say about that? Do you want to go under oath? Talk about that one? Maybe you should get the people there who made a witness that under oath, and maybe they can talk about it. I mean, you seem to have a lot of unfounded information against Pete Hegseth you seem comfortable putting out there. What about the information against you? How many nephews do you have? Nephews?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
What are they doing over there? It's kind of weird, isn't it? What's going on in that hotel room? Timbo? Any ideas? Oh, you think you're above scrutiny? How dare you? How dare you? You seem to like unfounded allegations. The difference against the allegations with Pete is they're just made up. These seem to be legit. Anything to say, Tim? Do me a favor, guys. Bongino Army.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You know, we're really good at this. John Fund is still... John Fund's career is totally ruined now after he made up that story. Thanks to you. I have seen you on Twitter asking John Fund to collect his $100,000 for his unfounded story that I picked or chose Matt Gaetz and Pete Egg, Seth. I did not. Now let's ask Senator Tim Kaine. So go to Twitter, respectfully, of course.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Ask Tim about his nephews. See what he has to say. Maybe they are nephews. Just kind of curious why they're in the hotel room at night. Just kind of weird. But Bongino Army. Anita, just marshal an effort here. Get the generals. Speak in truth, all of you all. Maybe ask Timbo. See what he's got to say about that. You know, folks, I just want you to know that the people trying to hold Pete Hegseth

to this faux high moral standard they claim they live up to as well. Keep in mind, these are United States senators who are actually voting for budgets for the Pentagon. They're almost more powerful than the Pentagon chiefs themselves are saying we can be degenerate losers and do whatever we want.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
But if someone just lobs an allegation against you, like you had a beer here or there, then you were definitely not worthy. If that sounds ridiculous and hypocritical, it is. And another group that bothers me, and I've told this story often, is the media. The media, oh my gosh, Pete Hegseth may have had a beer once in a while. Yeah, he's a combat vet. He's seen a lot. He's entitled to relax.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
He's not breaking any laws. Last time I checked, consuming alcohol responsibly was not illegal. The weird thing is I've been on the press plane and the stories about the press plane. The press plane is the plane that flies with Air Force One on foreign trips.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Ladies and gentlemen, pre-camera cell phones, if you only saw the debauchery that happened on this press plane between the infidelity and the drinking and all that other stuff, I just think if you're going to write about it, you should be honest and say, well, I'm an expert in this. I do it myself. Oh, that press plane.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
If we only could have taken pictures back in the day, you would never respect these media people again. Not that you respect them now. Of course, the hearing got worse yesterday. Here is the worst presidential candidate in modern American history. Kamala Harris? Eh, maybe not. Kirsten Gillibrand. Who's Kirsten Gillibrand? Exactly. She is a really dumb senator from New York.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Is she as dumb as crazy Hirono? I'm not sure, but she's certainly up there. Watch what happens when she makes the cardinal mistake of a hearing like this. Do you guys know what it is? Never, ever ask a question you don't know the answer to. And Pete's a lot smarter than dumbass Gillibrand. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
I don't care if you agree with the answer or not. Do not ask a question you don't know the answer to. Folks, I try to make this show instructive. Anybody can talk about the hearing. I'm trying to give you like little life lessons for tactical politics going forward. I'm dead serious when I tell you this. Owning the libs is great, but make sure you own the libs. And it goes the other way, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You want to own the conservatives? Then make sure you've got a guy pinned down. Don't ask a question you're not sure about the answer to. Because you'll look like a freaking idiot, like Pocahontas did yesterday, too. Well, you're obliged to not be a lobbyist like the generals. Oh, man, I'm not a general. It was a total Bart Simpson, Nelson Muntz moment. And then this happened yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Tammy Duckworth, who, thank you for your service. I always say that because having said that, that still does not entitle you to be a moron as often as Tammy Duckworth is a moron. This woman made, I mean, if you really believe after getting smoked and getting your ass kicked in every single swing state that this is the kind of stuff that's going to save you anyway. Yes or no! Yes or no!
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Screaming like a deranged banshee, like a lunatic at a hearing, looking like a moron. Please, please, whoever told you to do this, whatever focus group, I will personally finance you hiring them again. Here is Tammy Duckworth having an embarrassing meltdown, clearly is confused. Pete Hegseth is not an accountant, therefore would not do audits. And second...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Tammy Duckworth seems unaware that the Pentagon has failed. Put that up, please, on the Reuters. Pentagon has failed the last six budgets audits. That's under Joe Biden, too. Tammy Duckworth seems completely unaware of this because she's an idiot. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
They're all jumpy now. Doing like the karate man on the keyboard there. Michael and Evita, by the way, are up in D.C. Evita's father, Sean Duffy, former congressman, great friend to my family and an absolutely amazing human being, is undergoing his confirmation hearing today in committee. He will likely be the next Department of Transportation secretary. That's her dad.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Again, this absolute imbecile screaming like Banshee from the X-Men, right? Breaking windows everywhere like a lunatic is apparently totally unaware that Biden's Pentagon under the black man has not passed an order either. Oh, my gosh, that's so offensive. The black man, Danny, has a name. Yes, I'm well aware of his name. His name is Lloyd Austin. The problem is Joe Biden is not aware of his name.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Really? Yes. Here's Joe Biden calling our current defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, the black man.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Guys, I can't with this clip. The black man. I always, I, you know what? I'm going to leave a delay next time before, because I'm waiting for the shit show losers at media matters to go. Oh my gosh. How offensive, right? Justin, the damn Bonjito show called the defense secretary, the black man. I'm waiting. I should leave a delay. So they forget the second part, but we're not calling.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
We know his name. His name's Lloyd. Biden doesn't know his name. He's called them the black man and the general. He doesn't even know his name. Tammy Duckworth seems totally unaware of that. Again, thinks Pete Hegseth is an accountant all of a sudden. You announcing a new queen of the carriage without my permission? Tarloff is not losing that race anytime soon.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Tammy Duckworth, for all her buffoonery, has to do a whole lot more to take out Tarloff. Folks, yesterday, Norm Coleman, former senator, who has been helping Pete Hegseth out, he spoke up on Capitol Hill. It's a quick clip, but it's worth your time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
He talks about Lloyd Austin and how this last defense secretary, you know, they're alleging Pete doesn't have this long military industrial complex resume. Well, Norm Coleman brings up some interesting points. Well, all the people you seem to be hiring that do have this resume keep screwing shit up. So maybe we should try something different, like an outside the box perspective.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
This is worth hearing. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You're damn right, Norm Coleman. Brilliantly said. We've had inside the box standard CV resume nominees in the past. And what did we get? We got Iraq. We got Afghanistan. In the past, we've had the Vietnam, which we didn't have to lose. We can go back as far as you want. We had a bunch of geniuses in the Kennedy administration, and look what happened there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You look back throughout history at these defense secretaries who've handled these situations poorly. Maybe it's time to get a guy like Pete, who was an actual door kicker in there, to look under the hood and see what's actually going on without these preconceived notions of what should and shouldn't be. And his name isn't the black man.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
So Evita had a recorded show today, which is a very good one, by the way. But Congratulations to them. I hope everything goes well. I want to count my chickens, but Sean's a good man. I don't foresee any problems. He will be a cabinet secretary. They're up in D.C. Global warming up in D.C. If you're watching the show on Rumble Live, you will see Justin put up the forecast.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
His name is Lloyd Austin, just for Joe Biden's sake, as he destroys the country with just a few days left. Folks, just quickly on these California wildfires as well. Yesterday, I spoke about a topic. Again, I try to make, whether it's Pete Hegsett's hearing or the California wildfires, about bigger stories and narratives because they speak to who we are.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
And I don't mean in the stupid Joe Biden way. That's not who we are. No, I mean really who we are as human beings. Human beings tend to think in stories. They think in beginning, middle, and end. We've got to give people a coherent story. The story in California is a story of a number of different things contributing to this witch's brew. It's not all government that did it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
It's not all environmental factors. A lot of things happened. Dry season. You had mishandling of government assets. Pathetic leadership. water issues. You've had all kinds of bureaucratic hurdles to thinning out this dry environment. There were a bunch of things that were preventable is the point. Point I'm trying to take is I'm going to give you an honest perspective.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Was it 100% government that did this? No, it wasn't. Was maybe 70 to 80% of it government mismanagement? Who knows? Could be more, could be a little less, but yeah, it's around there. The fact that lefties will still not hold themselves accountable for monopolistically running California into the ground, having the place burned to the ground, speaks to exactly the problem with the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Whereas we, as Republicans... We as Republicans will criticize our own. That's what the whole Tea Party effort was. We will criticize free market businesses if they screw Americans over. You've got Donald Trump right now questioning a whole bunch of things from the insurance industry to pharmaceuticals. He just brought on Bobby Kennedy, who's hopefully going to be the next HHS secretary.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
No one scrutinized the pharma industry more than him. You notice how we do that? But the Democrats will never criticize government. I say that because of this New York Post article. Recall effort against Newsom is underway in California.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Folks, I hope I'm wrong, but I got to tell you, if I'm a betting guy, even if there's another recall petition, I can almost guarantee you Newsom beats it again because there are still people in California like Queen of the Karens, Jessica Tarloff, and others who will just never question that maybe their allegiance to big government is misguided. Here's what I mean.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Everything else is to blame except government. There will never be accountability on the left. Accountability for thee, but not for me. Hat tip media research center. They sent me this yesterday. Here's about a minute of the new media narrative. Folks, it's definitely climate change, not the dreadful mayor, not the dreadful handling of the reservoirs, not the dry fire hydrants.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
It's definitely climate change. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You have to be a fool to not understand what climate change is doing to this country and the world. Wow.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
It is now a balmy 27 degrees in D.C. The globe is definitely heating up beyond recognition. They're probably polar bears walking down the streets of Washington, D.C. now. So folks, obviously a lot going on. I'm going to get to this Tim Cain thing in a minute. And the reason this is important is
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
A lot of people talking about climate change. Climate change set up the conditions for this supercharged fire.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You notice how they just bullshit their own? Now, very few people are buying this because their houses are burning down. And even if their narrative that this was climate change was correct, what the hell did you do about it? You've been telling us about climate change since freaking Al Gore's stupid movie. You didn't do anything? That's assuming what you were saying is true, which it isn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Either way, you dipshits were in charge. At what point do the people of California say, even if they're right, they let my house burn down because they knew about a problem they didn't fix? Do you understand how there is no scenario by which these big government scum commies can escape accountability? If you're a reasonable person, that's asking a lot on the left. Here's the mayor of L.A.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Just again, gross. Just disgusting. She asked a pretty simple question. Hey, man, do you have any regrets? Like, you weren't even in the country, despite the National Weather Service and others warning about dangerous wildfires. Like, you decided to leave to go to Ghana. Any regrets? You think she'd say, you know what, that was a mistake. I ask your forgiveness. Won't happen again. Nope. Nope.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
She's a deep blue lefty in a deep blue city. No accountability. Imagine a corporate CEO saying this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Look at her smiling. Smile. Imagine a corporate CEO. inventing a paper shredder that has a malfunction and sucks in your tie and kills everyone that uses it. Do you have any regrets? Nah. You were out of the country when a bunch of people died. Nah, no big deal. No sweat. They'll figure it out. Well, actually, they won't. They're dead. Yeah, exactly. It's figured out. They're dead.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You're being smoked up by a lot of bullshit artists in Washington, D.C., who have zero dignity, credibility or integrity themselves and chose to attack a good man. And Pete Hanks said yesterday the most disgusting piece of filth was commie Tim Kaine. I was given a tip yesterday about Tim Kaine. And I'm going to ask you out there. I think Tim Kaine should be put into oath to answer for this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You proud of yourselves? I wonder what Tarloff's going to say about that. Well, that's not exactly what she meant. She had no regrets. Folks, you cannot trust the media and left-wingers on anything. I am as serious as a freaking heart attack. Everything they tell you is a story, not the story. I will never tell you Republicans are the solution to your problems, ever.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
I'm simply telling you the cause of your problems are Democrats in the media. That is it. And that's a fact. They lie to you about everything. You can't trust them on drones, presidential security, FBI weaponization, media reporting, nothing. They lie to you all the time. I want you to keep your eyes on this story. Catherine Herridge is over at X now doing some tremendous reporting.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
She's one of the few honest people out there. This is a story that's not getting enough attention. Do you remember years ago the stories came out about these directed energy weapons? Our foreign service officers and people in embassies were coming away with these mysterious illnesses, their headaches, and they would get nauseous all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
And of course the government and the media was like, ah, that's nothing. The government says it's nothing. Really? Just like they told us the drones were nothing too? Well, Catherine Herridge got a whistleblower who's saying, I don't think they're telling you the truth. Who do you believe? Catherine Herridge or the left-wing media and the government? I believe Catherine Herridge.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Watch this segment.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Folks, I want to put this out in conjunction with this next piece of video from Tucker Carlson about these UAPs, drones, UFOs, unidentified aerial phenomenon. Because I'm convinced, based on my sourcing and my reporting...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
that the government, which you cannot trust ever for any reason, and the left-wing media are hiding from you the fact that there are technologies out there they have no answer for, and because they've spent their time on DEI and other bullshit and not lethality, counterintelligence, and counterterrorism in an opportunity cost manner, they don't want to admit we're being out-technologied by enemies.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
So Justin's like just as casually as he can. It's global warming. By their definition, it is global warming. Global cooling is global warming. Global warming is global warming. Global stability is global warming. Dry season is global warming. Wet season is global warming. Volcanoes are global warming. Hurricanes are global warming. Less hurricanes are global warming.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
But I wanted to get to this first because there's a lot going on. Folks, I've been warning you about the threat to the inauguration through drones. I've got a lot of sources that have been feeding me information about I am absolutely unconvinced that the Secret Service has a bulletproof upon absolutely intended plan for a swarm drone attack in or around the inauguration.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
So what do they do? They just say directed energy weapons? Ah, that's all bullshit. Whatever they tell you, your default mechanism should be to believe the opposite. That's why I don't dismiss things like this. Tucker Carlson's doing an interview the other day, and he's talking about a source on these Chinese drones. Did you see this? It's another thing, so I get enough attention.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
I have no reason to believe he's lying about it. I've known Tucker a long time. Is the source? I don't know. But it's pretty compelling information that...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
comports with something I've told you from my sources that not all, but many of these drones are seeing in the skies are China based technology and China and the United States government just doesn't want to admit there's nothing they can do about it. Interesting clip. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Did we not say exactly that? We said that before this clip. Whoever's telling Tucker Carlson that... Sources are telling me the exact same thing. That China with the spy balloon and the drones wants you to see it. There are so many people who asked me on Facebook and Rumble during the radio show when I brought this up. Why would China be so dumb to show us what they're doing?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Because they want us to see it. They want us to see it. That's exactly what Tucker's hearing. They're saying, we're moving on Taiwan. Here's what we can do to you guys. Stay out of it. That's exactly what I'm hearing. This is what we can do to you. They probably wanted us to find their infiltration into our infrastructure system. I'm not telling you all these UAPs are from China.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
I'm telling you a good percentage of them are. And they don't want to tell you. That's why I don't believe them on these directed energy weapons either. I don't have any top-end, high-end sourcing on that. I'm relying on Catherine Herridge, who's a great reporter, and her reporting. But I believe her before I believe the G, the government, or the FBI, or anyone else. They've lied to us.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Catherine Herridge hasn't.

I'm not telling you they don't. I'm not telling you they do. I'm just telling you what sources are telling me that they're not confident. Is it safe or not safe? That's a question on the margin. Okay? I'm not sure. I'm just telling you I'm concerned. I really wish people would have reached out. The Biden administration, of course, can't stand me.

They have zero interest in anyone with any expertise in this taking an unbiased look at it because they just don't care. But here we go. Zero hedge. Chinese drone firm DGI eliminates the automatic no-fly zones one week before Trump's inauguration. Oh, my gosh! What a coincidence. The judges ruled that is an amazing coincidence. What does that mean?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Folks, for those of you who operate drones, in these FAA-restricted areas, there were certain built-in automated features which made it extremely difficult for you to fly that drone into an area the FAA says don't fly there, i.e., like over the inauguration. Well, this Chinese firm, can you throw that up again?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
DGI, which makes an extraordinary number of parts and drones themselves, just conveniently was like, ah, we're going to dump the automatic feature. Now it's just going to be like a warning, and the drone operator will get like a warning, like, don't fly there. And as you know, right, Justin, terrorists, you know, when it says don't fly there, oh, don't fly there? They are, he's 100% correct.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
They are absolutely law-abiding citizens. So, of course, they're going to listen to the instructions on the screen. You think that's a coincidence? Why is your boy here a little worried? You think I'm like the clickbait guy? I didn't even cover the hearing live yesterday. I prefer to be right, not first. People want to be first to clickbait guys. I'm telling you about this because I'm concerned.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Am I panicked about it? No. The sack of the Washington field office and the Secret Service, Matt McCool's a very smart guy. I hope they're on top of this. I'm just saying, if your faith in the system is, well, nobody will fly a drone because we told them not to, then you better think of a new system. One more thing before we start. I'm going to cover this at length tomorrow, so don't sweat it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Ladies and gentlemen, a little bit of a language alert right now, so I'm very sorry. But there isn't a human being fucking over America with the double-barreled middle finger more than human filth pile Joe Biden right now. This guy out the door is burning America to the ground. I've been warning you forever. Have I not? Justin. Yes. Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Everybody after the election, I warned you that this garbage human being, this corrupt, disgusting sociopath on the way out the door was going to burn America to the ground. This is just in the last few days what he's done. And he's still got a few days left to do at the drive through Leo Getz style.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
took Cuba off the state sponsor of Terrorist yesterday, basically handing the state of Florida to the Republicans forever now. Folks, I live in South Florida. You want to... You want to lose Florida forever? Alienate the Cuban population whose families are still in political prisons in Cuba and pull Cuba off the state sponsor of terrorism.

More hurricanes are global warming. Volcanoes are global warming. Tectonic shifts in the plates that cover the Earth is definitely global warming. Snow is global warming. Rain is global warming. Lightning is global warming. Tesla charging stations are global warming. Space launch rockets are global warming. Interstellar beams coming to the United States are global warming.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
They'd be like, wow, that was a lot. I'm not done. I'm not done. And Biden's not done either. He is going to burn the place to the ground, this scumbag. Gary Gensler and his SEC decides yesterday they're going to sue Elon Musk out the door. About what? Something that happened yesterday? No, something that happened years ago. The purchase of Twitter. Why would they do it yesterday?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Because you think they have a case against Elon Musk? Bullshit! Because they want Donald Trump to come in and, of course, toss this bullshit case out to say what? Yes, you got it. Look, Donald Trump is in Elon Musk's pocket. This is all about a story, not the story. They want to create a story.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Sue Elon Musk for a phantom crime that they allege happened or civil violation happened a couple years ago, okay? Sue him for that. There we go. Thank you, guys. SEC sues Elon Musk over Twitter acquisition. Alleges he underpaid Twitter by $150 million. Yes, because Elon really needs to save $150 million, fellas. Right? This guy's got so many money problems. He's worth, what, $400 billion?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
That $150 million, that's probably a tip at a restaurant for him on a Saturday. Not even like a, it's probably a tip at a Denny's. He probably leaves that for the waitress. But he definitely was trying to scam people. That's it? No, that's not it. I'll go into all this tomorrow in more detail. Biden, you at the drive-thru, Leo Getz style. Hey, you at the drive-thru.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Some of you need to look that up. It was not one of the better lethal weapon movies, but it was pretty funny, Joe Pesci. Biden has also changed the line of secession. Succession in the Department of Justice. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Because people are going to resign before Pam Bondi and others are sworn in, which will leave Biden appointees in charge for just a little bit longer to make sure they can enact new rules and regulations, which are going to take Donald Trump now months to overturn on everything from immigration elsewhere. Why? Because Biden is going to burn the country down on the way out the door.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
At least that's it. No, it's not. No, it's not. They're at the drive-thru, okay? Biden is the guy at the drive-thru spitting in your french fries, okay? You ask for ketchup, he gives you mayonnaise. On Nate's case, that family, be careful.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
He is also obligating money under the IRA and the American Rescue Plan that hasn't yet been obligated to make sure we shuttle more money out the door, putting Trump in a massive multi-trillion dollar hole before he even steps into office. Why? Because Biden won't stop until he burns America to the ground. Folks, I hate this guy. I really, really do. And you know why? It's not personal.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
I've been around this guy. Not much. I was on the president's detail, not the VP detail. I know how disgusting he is. He's a horrifying, grotesque, filthy, gross, sniffing, kid sniffing, crackhead, son loser, disgusting woman groping piece of human garbage who has never told the truth about anything in his life.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
And there's not a president in four years in modern times that's done more damage to the country than this guy. But the fact that we are going to now spend the first two years trying to clean up this massive mess, this scum left, is just unreal. All right, let's get back to the show about yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
So Pete Hegseth's hearing happened yesterday, and there were a lot of interesting things that happened yesterday during the hearing. Now, I'm covering the hearing today. You got Pam Bondi today, Sean Duffy. There's not going to be nearly as many fireworks. Yesterday was the big headline event.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Pete Hegseth, because the military-industrial complex and the Democrats are so freaked out that Pete's going to come in there and make our military lethal and not a social experiment, so they're really pissed off. So yesterday were a lot of fireworks, but yesterday's hearing was about more than Pete. It's why I'm going to cover it today in detail. Don't make it about Peter.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
This thing, it's about larger things. It's about standards. It's about impropriety. It's about false narratives. It's about telling a story rather than the story. First, I'm a spreadsheet guy, folks, and I'm going to prove it to you right now. I don't get emotional. Thank you, Senator Joni Ernst. We were hard on Senator Joni Ernst. She was, I thought, giving Pete Hegseth an unusually hard time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
He's more than qualified. But Senator Ernst is now pledging to back Pete for Pentagon boss. You can see the headline in just the news. So good job. That's a plus one for me in a spreadsheet. I'm not getting emotional about it. I'm not going to forget anything that happened, of course. However... We can't say don't get emotional and then get emotional. Screw that. Don't screw it. Good for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
I'm glad you're supporting Pete. A knock on wood here. Outside of any major now obstacles, I see Pete on a glide path now to confirmation. Let's hope that happens. He's the guy for the job. So let's get that out of the way first. But ladies and gentlemen, you won again yesterday. You did.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
You won again because the media, the military industrial complex, the lobbyists, the social experiment people in the military and failed leaders at the Pentagon for about the last now, what, two and a half months since Pete was nominated for the spot, two months or so? have been trying to tell you a story about Pete Hegseth not being qualified. You soundly defeated them yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Even the left noted, Wall Street Journal, which hates Pete Hegseth, they just do read the op-ed column, even had to admit Hegseth just flawlessly parried. You ever parry in boxing? I mean, it was hapless. It was like a bunch of kids on the Democrat side were being lectured by the adult in the room, Pete. It was pretty shameless nonsense that happened yesterday. Want to play this one first.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Here is crazy Maisie Hirono, easily one of the dumbest members of Congress in general, obviously on the House side. As a matter of fact, on all sides, you have AOC, you have Dan Goldman, the dumbest male member, the dumbest United States senator. It's up for grabs, but I've got to tell you, crazy Maisie Hirono, who looks intoxicated here herself, she is easily up there on the Senate side.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
The clips of her have gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Here's communist, shameless Maisie Hirono, who looks drunk herself, trying to make up a story about Pete Hegseth. And again, looking like a total buffoon because she looks intoxicated herself. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Hapless, Goon Democrats Face-Plant At Hegseth’s Hearing (Ep. 2401)
Okay, a couple things here. Justin said it right there. Kind of weird to be talking about someone being drunk at work while crazy Maisie Hirono is slurring her words and appears drunk at work. Was that one of those coffees with a little extra in it this morning, Maisie? I don't know. I mean, if you can lob unfounded allegations, we can too. You were drunk at work.

Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
The Democrats are now admitting that that's the plan, which is what I told you it was. So if your goal, whether it's Massey or anyone in the House Freedom Caucus, and they were on board with this strategy, is to lean out government, then the way to do it is to get past the filibuster. And the way to do that is to use reconciliation, which is not this bill.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
It's the reconciliation bill, which they're working on, which they already had the votes to get started. Guys, I'm just, I hate to sound silly here, but this is just kind of the straight talk show. Really, I'm not trying to, what was that? I'm not trying to steal lines from like John McCain. I remember he was a straight talk express or whatever it was. I actually mean it.

Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I'm not happy about it either. But we are in a divided political country. That's just the hard reality. We have got to do the hard work of politics of convincing 55% of the American people, which may be enough to get us past the filibuster in the Senate in a midterm election at some point, that we are the right pathway forward. That's hard work. We can't just force it down people's throats.

going after Congresswoman Stansbury and others, laughing at the fact that now the Democrats are pretending they care about spending restraint and CRs, which is the peak of hypocrisy.

Hey, I told you I took maybe what would have been a controversial stance in the beginning of yesterday's show on the CR thing. And 90% of people agreed with me. Fine. 10% didn't. Fine-er. That's great. We appreciate dissent. We're not the censorship show. But the dissent was basically all insults. Gat, the special guest in the studio. Today's podcast sponsored by Beam.

Yes, he's not wrong. I had to stop the chat here for a second, well, on my phone, not permanently. Sean New York Appleseed, I love you, brother, but he says, Massey is right, no more spending. Can we all in the chat say, Sean, we agree? No more excessive spending. But again, you are committing the cardinal sin of the chat on this show. You're stating a position without a plan to win the game.

And if your plan is like the gentleman who insulted me on Facebook, which is okay, we like dissent, said, I just want to keep it shut down forever. Okay, that's your plan. I disagree with it. I think we actually just elected Donald Trump to fix the government, not to just completely ignore it for four years, and then we're stuck with the same mess. Let's be honest.

It's a new business model, correct?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Brand new. No one's ever done that before. Nobody. Jim's been in the business a while. Jim, we invented that, right? You did. We did. I'm so creative. You know how Elon sends rockets to space and reinvented the car market? We invented this entire thing called written spots. The media just figured that out there. They should be impressed, right, Jim?

Folks, if you don't sense the sarcasm, again, you may be that guy, Ziggler Man, yesterday, or Zigman, whatever his name was, yesterday, who just figured that out. He was stunned. All right, so moving on from the CR, because a lot of stuff happened yesterday. Major updates on what's going on with tariffs. Tariffs, which are, folks, they are taxes at the border. That's what a tariff is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Again, I'm just going to straight talk with you, okay? However, We do have to raise money for the federal fisc. We have our military to support in the court system. In my humble opinion, and I think in many others, We should raise the least amount of money possible to fulfill the constitutional roles of government. There should be no extra coming out of Americans' pockets.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
So if we are going to use tariffs to offset a number of tax cuts and then cut more and get down to a more reasonable tax base, which is excessively high now, then yes, it could be an effective tool. They start a tariff war. There is a possibility, if you're not escalating to de-escalate, that it could get out of control. So we'll see what happens.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I'm going to get to that in a second, but I got a Ukraine update here, too. The ceasefire is now on the table. And although I don't accuse everybody out there of, you know, or throw out this 4D chess thing all the time, just get to the point. I think Donald Trump has a huge win on the table here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
He now has an acceptable ceasefire to Ukraine out there, and I'll play Secretary Rubio's clip in a minute. He now has Russia in a corner. Because Vladimir Putin, I don't care what anyone's telling you, folks. Vladimir Putin is not our friend. I get that, period. However, Vladimir Putin has been taking a lot of losses, too. This has not been a terrific outcome.

Russia has a sliver of the territory in Ukraine they've wanted, considering all the losses they've taken to personnel, to military equipment. Russia's getting hurt here, too. I don't care what they tell you. So Donald Trump now, President Trump now has him in a corner, and so does Rubio.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Because if Ukraine says we'll accept this 30-day ceasefire and Russia breaks it, it gives Donald Trump an excuse to then rearm Ukraine and let them continue to escalate, take a toll on Putin until he comes back to the table for a potentially worse deal. Here's Secretary Rubio on Ukraine accepting the terms of a 30-day ceasefire. Check this out.

The secretary, that was NSA Mike Waltz, and President Trump. Vladimir Putin now understands that Donald Trump, he said it himself. I mean, he's already said it in the True Social Post. I'm not speaking for him. I've not discussed the matter with him at all. I'm just reading his True Social Post, which he's been candid and open about. He has already said...
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
If Vladimir Putin does not take this deal, basically we're going to make this painful. There's not going to be American boots on the ground, but there damn well is going to be American military equipment. And if you want this thing to go on and become Russia's new Afghanistan, which has caused us trouble, too. There's straight talk on it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
But Russia was forced to leave Afghanistan in a humiliating manner. We weren't the only ones under Joe Biden's era to, you know, take losses in Afghanistan and leave. The Russians had to as well. If you want to stay in Ukraine forever and continue to just destroy your military, I say decimate, but this lady was, decimate? I know what it means. You go look it up in the dictionary.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
But just have your military destroyed, fine. But now he's forcing this tactically. He's forcing this into Putin's corner. On the foreign policy front, too, with the terrorists. So this happened yesterday. This is a big mistake. Ontario premier Doug Ford, I get it. Listen, I try to give you both sides of the story.

I understand he's obviously Canadian, he's the premier in Ontario, and he's gonna defend his people, and he's gonna try to puff his chest and engage in bravado. The problem I have with that is, tactically speaking, pulling myself out of it completely, if I'm a foreign leader dealing with a far more powerful country, militarily and elsewhere, it's not a reflection of human beings
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
You know, everyone's a child of God. I get it. But we are a more powerful country, militarily and economically. It's just a fact. Bowing up to Donald Trump is just a really bad idea. So watch this. This is a story in three chapters here. Here's chapter one. Ontario Premier Doug Ford warning and getting after Donald Trump. If the U.S. escalates, he'll shut off electricity completely.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)

Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Guys, he's doing... My problem with it is the tactics of it are silly. Chest-puffing around Donald Trump is a really, really stupid idea. It just is. It's a matter of pure tactics. Forget the morals and ethics of it. Second, he's doing this thing Thomas Sowell calls starting the story in the middle.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
He's pretending that Canada does not have a history of dairy tariffs and other tariffs against the United States, which have caused real problems for American markets based on this. We're all in the same hemisphere. He's pretending that didn't happen. He's acting like, oh, they're innocent victims, and Donald Trump just randomly pulled this out of his caboose.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
So here's Donald Trump responding on True Social. I mean, this is the most predictable response ever. You mess with Trump, he's going to fight back harder, and he's got the power to do it. Based on Ontario, Canada's 25% tariff on electricity, I'm adding an additional 25% tariff to 50% on steel and aluminum coming from Canada. I mean, you had to know that was going to happen.

As I said, it's just a silly tactical move. I understand. I don't get mad at politicians, even from other countries. I get what he's got to do. He's got to go out there and say, I'm defending. Fine. Donald Trump would do the same thing. The problem is it's asymmetric economic warfare. And as a matter of pure tactics, you saw what happened with Zelensky. He doesn't like it. And he will respond.

This was my personal Dan Bongino numero uno, my triage of important clips. This is VA Secretary Doug Collins, a very good guy. He's been a friend of ours for a very long time. Here he is talking to a reporter about a fake headline meant to scare veterans. And I want you to watch the reporter. More carefully, let me say it precisely.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I want you to listen to the reporter stumble over her own response. Because she essentially knows she's caught. And they basically kind of, like, fabricated a headline. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Folks, that's how it's done. You see the, I don't want to say the panic, I don't want to be dramatic in the reporter's voice, but the anxiety, can you sense it? Because she understands the story they wrote was ridiculous and they have no basis for it about Doge and the VA. It's just meant to freak people out. That is exactly how it's done.
The Dan Bongino Show

And my recommendation to you is if you ever become an activist, a government employee, a bureaucrat, I don't mean that in a bad way, you know, but you ever work as a messaging person in a company, that that's the way you address that stuff.

Well, it was a debate. I wasn't... You know, if you're going to have someone on the show, that's the way to do it, to debate ideas kind of calmly back and forth. That's how you do it.

Here's Caroline Levitt. She's been excellent as the press secretary, too. An AP reporter. Listen, he's making... He's making a case here I'm not going to dismiss out of hand. I've told you, tariffs are taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
But what the AP reporter is ignoring in the question, and what Caroline Leavitt addresses here, is that Donald Trump has a massive tax cut plan in the reconciliation bill that on net is going to lower taxes for the American people dramatically. The AP reporter is leaving that part out. He's starting the story in the middle. Caroline Leavitt has to correct him here. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Mary, go ahead. Okay. Who's texting me? They're making two separate arguments here. Notice how he starts the story in the middle. He focuses solely on the tariff component. I'll give you a better example. He's saying, hey, a tariff is a tax. Okay, he's not wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Caroline Levitt's making a separate argument that Donald Trump came in and he's going to rewrite how we tax people, but he's going to lower the amount you pay on net. So it'd be like this. It'd be like saying, listen, you guys are imposing, say, a property tax. I'm just throwing out random taxes out there in a market. Wow, you're raising our taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
And then the exact same politician says, yeah, but we're doing the property tax in lieu of an income and capital gains tax, which we're going to wipe out. So you're actually going to pay lesser taxes on the property than you would on your income and capital gains. You got a tax cut. They're making two separate arguments. I'm not going to lie. Yes, a tariff is a tax. There's no question about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
But he's not doing it in addition to what you have now. He's doing it in an effort to generate some funds so in the reconciliation bill, they can cut taxes. So just be honest about it. There's no harm in honesty. This is the kind of honesty, however, though, that is even more refreshing. When people in the government who don't want accountability

Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
So thank you, producer Jim, for that. I told you guys with the CR bill. Can we just stick with the facts? I can't tell you how many times I've had this argument with people. Do not get emotional about politicians. Don't do it. There's this tendency to want to fall in love and out of love with people. I get it. I am not insulting you. I've done it too.

Complaining endlessly and whining about how frightening it is to get an accountability email at work that doesn't ask you for a detailed treatise or a freaking PhD dissertation on your job, but says, simply tell us five things you've done this week is a loser.

I can't talk about this story enough because it is such an example of this two-tiered system we have. I remember my last line of work.

By the way, Producer Jim, there is a Scott Jennings clip out there we gotta get for tomorrow's show. He is in this back and forth with, I forget the CNN host, we've seen her before.

This is really the case you're going to make to the American people who are busting their asses to pay the government 40 to 50 percent of their money when you factor in taxing at all levels in some liberal states?

We are going to get things wrong. Is that the language of, what did she say, a king? He specifically said, we are going to get some things wrong. He apologized for things as well. He said, we got that wrong. He said the exact opposite. This isn't reality. Evita's show today. Don't forget Evita's show. Rumble.com slash Evita. And then Haley's show coming up at 6 p.m. Thank you.

The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
They don't want you to see fraud in the government because it's going to shake up their argument that governments are a benevolent force in your life, immune to fraud. That's why they want the fraud. Here's Mark Kelly, senator from Arizona. Elon Musk's obviously not a serious guy. Fellas, outside of the space missions, the electric cars, the billions of dollars in wealth created and jobs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Yes, you're correct. He's definitely not a serious guy. Check this out.

You know, I'm going to take back something I said earlier in the show. I said the VA Secretary Doug Collins was my favorite clip. You guys know where I'm going with this. I'm not exactly sure I can say that. This one may be as good. So you can't have two favorites. They may be co-equals in this situation, which defeats the word favorite.

This may be the last time I get to mention this during our last three shows I have with you. But folks, you know what an extinction burst is? When you put a dollar in a Coke machine, you've heard it a thousand times from me, you get the Coke every day. Yeah, this is so great and refreshing, whatever. And then one day you put a dollar in, you're thirsty, and nothing comes out, what do you do?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
You kick the machine screaming and yelling, that is an extinction burst. The Democrats are used to crapping on people and people backing down when the media pressures them. They don't have that in Elon Musk or Donald Trump, who the more you beat them up, the more they push back. So they're kicking the Coke machine. This may be one of the finest Extinction Burks you've ever seen.

This is Canadian Green Party leader Elizabeth May, goes on an absolute tirade against Donald Trump, throws out all of this stuff. The allusions to Nazism, fascism, rape, all this other stuff, she squeezes it all in. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Yeah, Guy just said it right. Guy's talking in my ear. He's like, Dan, do you believe in that short clip they squeezed every single prior Donald Trump insult that hasn't worked for the last 10 years? Every single, right? Did she kept Russia in there? She was like, she had a little checklist, like what they used to call my last job, a go-by, like go by, check, check, check, check.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Fall in love with what? Outcomes. The problem I had with this continuing resolution bill is it sucks. The outcome is going to be bad, additional government spending. So why did we have vote on it? Because we don't have an alternate plan to get past the Senate filibuster obstacle. The only plan is to use reconciliation, which you cannot use with this bill.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
It's working really well for the last 10 years. Why do these far-left liberals have this incessant need to insult their voters all the time with this nonsense? Some just insulting them directly. It's like they're taking out their rage on the Coke machine and this extinction burst, but not taking it out on the Coke machine, but actually taking it out on their own voters. Here's what I mean.
The Dan Bongino Show

This is the Democrats' new it politician of the day, Democrat Senator Alyssa Slotkin. They love her. They think she's a more moderate. She's a fake moderate. She's going to be a liberal when they need her. Of course, they always vote in lockstep. But here's Senator Slotkin.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Again, attacking the American voter, comparing them to adolescent, out of control, hormone raging teenagers, not realizing these are her actual voters in the state of Michigan. They can't control themselves. Remember the extinction burst. Once you see it, you'll never unsee it. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I don't, I really genuinely do not understand this impulse on the left to constantly insult their own voters as a way to get voters to go over to their side of the aisle. Do you notice Donald Trump went to the Bronx and other areas that have traditionally voted against him because he wanted to convince people he was a better candidate?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I'm not really sure how your new moderate it politician for the minute, how this helps. Guy will not let me get off the air today, too, without addressing this story, because it's happening again. Folks, did I not call it? Call what? I told you you can go back and listen to the shows. Michelle Obama was not running for president. So, of course, the rumors are starting again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
ABC News, Michelle Obama to grapple with life's biggest questions in her new podcast. Everybody's got a podcast. Everybody's got a podcast. I'm proud to say we were one of the originals. People laughed when we said we were starting a podcast. What the hell is a podcast? That was 10 years ago in 2015. Look, now everybody's got one. There's talk she may run.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Now, I'm going to throw a little curveball here. I was absolutely crystal clear she was not going to run in 2024. I'm going to say this. She hated politics. Everybody around her knew it. Her staff used to talk about it all the time. She wanted nothing to do with DC. She didn't like politics. She hated it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
However, the possibility of her running in the future, I don't know what's going on in their personal life. I'm not speaking out of turn. I don't. I don't keep it. I mean, we're not friends or anything like that. There is a possibility she could run in the future. That's big for me to say. That's huge for me to say. Possibility. It's a small one. There was no possibility in 2024, and I was right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I'm going to open that window, though. It is a possibility in the future. She may. She may figure out that this is a pathway for her to stay in the public eye if things aren't, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

So I asked yesterday, when I did this segment, I have no problem with Congressman Tom Massey whatsoever. He's been great on the January 6th pipe bomber. I'm glad he's talking about spending. I just asked one simple question, and the clip went viral yesterday, which, by the way, Jim, drove that death of journalism guy crazy. Did you see that? He was so upset, I commented on it.

I will say, there are very few words I enjoy saying, but dispositive. I will say dispositively, the CR sucks. I get it. You are 100% correct. Intentional pregnant pause.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Apparently, he just figured out I have a political opinion podcast up until Monday. It's called The Job. He was shocked. I got no problem with them. I don't fall in love or out of love with people. I just ask, what's the plan? If we are going to cut spending in the CR, which I would love to see, love it, I would love it, then I'm asking you, how are you going to get the votes?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
The answer is, I don't have the votes. Okay, then the government fake shuts down. What's your plan to get out of that? Well, we're going to leave it. I will give one guy credit. One guy on Facebook said to me yesterday, basically, Dan, I don't like you. You're a toolbox. Keep the government shut down forever for all I care. All right. That's your plan. I'm going to ask you a question, though.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
When have we ever won an argument like that? I'm just asking for appropriate. Again, I give the guy credit. That's just that's a plan. I don't think it's a great plan, but at least he presented a plan. He said, I don't care. Keep it shut down until 2028. Here's the thing, though, two things. Excuse me, got a little bit of allergies. Ghee is okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I absolve ghee of any responsibility for my fake cold. It was fake. It is allergies because I took a little bit of allergy medication yesterday and felt great. Two things. We just elected Donald Trump to reform government. It's only been 30 days. The border crossing numbers have fallen off a cliff. He is already working on moving around chess pieces in the economy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
He's already moving on dismantling the Department of Education. It's been about, what, is it 52 days now? 52 days. Give the guy a chance. So number one, he's not going to fix everything in this bill right now. Yeah, it's just unrealistic. And second, folks, it sucks, but the left-wing media still has some power, and the public just isn't there yet with government shutdowns.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Guys, ladies, people panic with government shutdowns, and it's because the media feeds into the panic. They tell people receiving social security, they're gonna cut off your checks. Puppies are gonna die. AIDS and cancer research is gonna stop and die. People are gonna die everywhere. Black holes are gonna form over there. It'd be like that movie, remember when the moon crashes into Earth?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
And people believe it. I'm sorry, but I live in the world that we're stuck with, not the world I would like to kind of mold like Plato. I get it. The bill sucks. You win. Can we agree? Can we handshake on it? I'm simply stating to you, if you don't have some kind of a voting plan, then you're just talking. Reality matters.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
And always measure the effectiveness of what you're doing, by the way, by what? Tell me in the chat. If you don't know, I'll be very upset. How do you know what we're doing is effective? Because the Democrats freaked out yesterday. Literally. There's going to be the liberal use of the word literally in the show today. Literally. You'll see. You know I hate the word, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
You'll see what I mean in a second. But you're using it. I'll tell you why. But it's both sides. Did you guys pick up on that, too? Both of these clips? You did, right? Here first, here is Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. He knows this is a crap bill, but he knows it's a simple matter of arithmetic.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
There was no way to get past the Senate filibuster, and you can't do reconciliation in this bill, period. They weren't going to get Democrat votes on this. Just a few, and that's it. Here's Johnson yesterday roasting the liberals on this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I don't know what, for the 10% of people that disagree with me, they're disagreeing with me on things I agree with. You're only disagreeing with yourself. I agree it sucks. All I asked you for was a plan. Give me plan B. And I'm not kidding when I tell you this. I got about 1,000 emails on this, probably 200 maybe or so, so-so, maybe 100 that were negative. Not a single one had a plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Weasel Flu says, I literally hate literally. Yes, me too, brother. And Leonardo76131, how do you measure it by the reaction of your political opponents, the liberals? Yes. So if this was such a horrible thing last night, and I get it, the bill sucks. I've already said this here, period. I'll put a big dot here, there in the corner, period. I get it. The question isn't, does it suck?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
The question is, it's like being in some foreign prison camp in a communist nation. Okay, being there sucks. Do you have a plan to get out? No, you can complain about it all you want. How the hell are you gonna get out of the prison? That's the problem. You need a plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Why are the Democrats freaking out, and using the word literally, why are they freaking out so much if this was such a terrible day? Let me answer the question for you, because what's the point of being here? It's not a pop quiz. It's my job, at least for the next three days. Gosh, I can't believe it. Three days, man. I can't believe we're only two shows away from the finale.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
When the other side starts losing their mind, folks, it usually means we're doing something right. Here, let me just lay out for you what they wanted to do. They wanted the Republicans to not have enough Republican votes to pass this thing. They wanted the government to shut down the Democrats. I thought they hated shutdowns. No, they wanted it because they wanted to say, look at these idiots.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
They just got into office. They have all three of that. They have the court system. They have the executive branch. They have the House. They have the Senate. And they can't even pass a spending bill. That was going to be their message. I'm not telling you it's right. And they wanted us to look like the chaos party. because they understood they could do that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
They're stunned now that Speaker Johnson has now whipped two votes on reconciliation, which has started, and this, and there's been no chaos at all. Only Massey, again, I'm not mad at the guy at all. What would I be mad at the guy for? His message is right, cut spending. It's just the tactics I disagree with.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
I can't believe how many people are in my chat and the Facebook messages, yeah, you suck, Massey's great. What's your plan? I don't have one. Oh, okay. Oh, okay, cool. Here's, this is great. This is a representative, what's her name, Melanie Stansberry. This is a lady who, I love how they attack me for foul language and stuff. This lady is using foul language all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
So that's kind of hilarious. They only seem to be selective on that. But here's a Democrat rep. basically losing it over to CR, and she gives away the battle plan I told you yesterday and does it inadvertently. She exaggerates, of course. They're going to cut firefighters and veterans. She's, of course, making that up. That's not the target at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
There are going to be some people in government who are going to be separated from jobs, okay? We don't have the money to pay all these people anymore. We just don't. But listen to her exaggerate. But she actually gives away the plan I told you yesterday. She's not wrong in her premise.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
that Republicans want to move on to the reconciliation bill to get a hold of the out-of-control federal budget, which is exactly what I told you yesterday. And she thinks it's a win for her. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
They basically said, like, we don't like you. You suck. Okay, great. What's your plan? Well, I don't have one. Oh, okay. I told you that was going to happen. Hey, if you go back into the 90s, the original promise of the Internet was to provide a virtual world of equals free from the dictates of government and business. We're far from that original promise, aren't we?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Okay, obviously she is exaggerating grotesquely. It's not illegal activity for the executive branch to manage the executive branch and engage in force reductions by discontinuing job positions we can't afford. Illegal? Really? What, are you going to impeach him again for the 72nd time? Okay, she's just making that up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Of course they're acting like they care about firefighters and veterans when they've been, the guns and butter approach, they've been cutting the guns forever, Democrats, and actually defenestrating our military with woke crap. So please, Representative Stansbury, stop pretending you guys all of a sudden care about spending and all this other stuff and firefighters. Please stop, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
Public safety is not exactly your strong point. You can put that stuff back in the file drawer. But did you see how when you get past the hyperbole and exaggeration, she tells you exactly what I told you yesterday? Which is why I said to you, this is not the fight right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Spending Bill Passes House And Everyone Loses Their Mind (Ep. 2440)
She's saying they want to just get rid of this thing for a few months so they can move on to reconciliation where they can start to lean out government. She just told you, if you're watching VOD, video on demand later on, it's live now, just rewind. Rewind and listen again, put the hyperbole filter on, and you'll see, wow, Dan was right.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
These people are crazy anti-Trump lunatics, a lot of them. They're expecting instant gratification. So what has it done? Follow me. This is important, okay? Really important. It has forced these people to instantly come out against anything Trump says ever before they understand Trump's deal-making skills. Now, we beat the media yet again when I told you to hold.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
The deal-maker-in-chief, Donald Trump, strikes again in Gaza. I told you what he was doing there, and if the dumbass media would have just listened, they wouldn't be sitting here with egg on their face. Donald Trump comes out every single time on every issue with a 1 to 100, 100 maximalist position that's never been said before. Get the U.S. into Gaza. No one's ever said that before.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Everybody goes crazy. Does Donald Trump mean it? I don't know. Chances are he doesn't mean what you think he means, but what he does is he resets the earth. He is, I hate cliches, but they work sometimes. He is the bull in the China shop. He breaks up, everything's got to be rebuilt. The China shop was full of crappy stuff anyway. That's what he does.
The Dan Bongino Show

Folks, this is absolutely glorious. I'm telling you, these are like the halcyon days. It's just like a glorious time to be involved in political commentary. I can't say enough. Have you sensed? Here's where I'm going with this. Have you sensed the narrative shift just over the last few days?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
The media then reacts instantly as if everything he says, he means word for word, even though they probably know he doesn't. Here are some of the headlines. Opinion, Daily News. Trump's Gaza nonsense. Crazy scheme harms real steps for Mideast peace. Oh, it gets better. Al Jazeera. Ethnic cleansing proposal. A New Yorker. Trump's mad proposal for Gaza. The idea that the U.S.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
would have a role in rebuilding Gaza so some Palestinians could go back and actually live in a place that functions. Here is the AP. This is my favorite. Trump wants Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza. Here's why the idea is rejected. The judges ruled. You guys really suck at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Here is yesterday in the Oval Office, for those in the liberal media who need a lesson in geopolitics, this is King Abdullah from Jordan. Wait, put up that AB headline again if you would, guys. What did he say? Trump wants Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza. Here's why the idea is rejected. He said, they're not going to do anything. Jordan's foreign minister, no.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
We're firm and unwavering on this. We're not taking in Palestinians. Okay, play the cut from yesterday, if you would.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Did he just I thought, wait, put up the AP headline again. Jordan's foreign minister rejected the transfer of Palestinians as firm. And it says that right there, right? Firm and unwavering. I'm just checking. It does. Can you put up the text, though? Firm and unwavering. But he just said they're going to take in some Palestinians. Look at that. Oh, my gosh, it does say that. It's so weird.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I thought I'd miss that. Michael just said it right. Colombia, we're not taking in our own people. Okay, massive tariffs. Okay, we'll take in our own people. Canada, screw your damn tariffs. We're not doing anything. Okay, we're going to do a fentanyl task force at the border. Mexico, we're not doing squat, we're not doing anything. We will shut down the border, 10,000 troops.

If you just would have listened to your boy, Dan. You said it right, Justin, it doesn't even take a week. At 24, it happens in like 12 hours sometimes, right? 24 is like hyperbolic, like the TV show 24, which wasn't really 24 because you had to wait a week for everything to happen. Media people, I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to, not because I like you, I can't stand you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
It would just be nice to have a media that's not 100 on the crazy scale and maybe just a 75. You are going to burn out. Trump takes the maximalist position no one took when everyone expected maybe a 25. He goes to 100. He gets a 50, which is 25 points more than everyone else. That's how he does business.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
If you just would have listened, you wouldn't have gotten these stupid headlines up that we now are exposing as ridiculous.

Elon Musk tweet, please, otherwise known as Harry Balls. The Doge team discovered FEMA sent $59 million last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. He goes on about how this violated the president's order. Folks, again, just to kind of put an accent on the point I'm making, we are the media now. Why are we the media now? I didn't intend to be the media.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I'm an opinion guy. I enjoy talking about politics. However, our opinions are based in fact. The media, which is supposed to be fact, can't even get the facts right. Folks, the FOing is continuing, by the way. This is the most dramatic three weeks of a presidency I've ever seen in my life. I get that that's an opinion. I understand. But I'm serious. Have you ever seen anything like this?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
It reminds me of the scene in Seven I cite all the time. Remember that movie Seven with Morgan Freeman? Have you ever seen anything like this? And the answer is I haven't. They don't know what to do. He's got the Rock'em Sock'em Robots thing going so heavy and strong that they're running out of narratives. So this happened yesterday. And here's the crazy thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
This goes into Jeffrey Epstein, 9-11, JFK. This is a really big deal. I can prove to you that this three weeks is like nothing you've ever seen before. George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush. Any of them. authorizes a committee to look into 9-11, Epstein, JFK, the MLK assassination. This is a front page story for weeks, correct? It would be a front page story all over the world.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
This happened yesterday. This is a great congresswoman from Florida, Ana Paulina Luna, about a committee being set up to investigate these things and declassify information. And folks, the news cycle is so fast and furious like nothing we've ever seen before. This barely cracked the news. Check this out.

And just perfect timing, Tulsi Gabbard just confirmed his DNI. Folks, have you ever seen anything like this? This is so important. Why is all this important? Why am I covering this task force on Epstein, 9-11, the assassinations, MLK, JFK? Why am I covering this? Because I put this in all caps so I didn't forget to pass on the big tattoo on your brain message.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
There is simply no trust in government institutions left. Folks, I'm going to tell you something that's hard to hear because we're not believers in government at all outside of military and our constitutional functions. We're just not. Government's failed us so many times. We can't go on like this. We can't go on like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
You've got seniors out there living their lives by their next Social Security check. That's paid by some government bureaucrat who took your money in the past. You've got to be able to trust that these people aren't stealing and wasting your money. That's just one of thousands of examples. At the state and local level, there we go, breaking Tulsi Gabbard.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Yes, again, the freaking news cycle is punishing. This happens during the show. I can't even get to a show without the FOing. This is the FOing. It literally says the FOing continues right there, right here. We need a Zoom overhead in the new studio so I can just refer to it and you can Zoom in. You think I'm messing with you? The FOing continues.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Your kids go to public schools, many of them, funded by your taxes at the state and local level. You've got to be able to trust that these people are there to educate your kids and not for some other jobs program. We can't go on like this, man. If people don't trust that the government's telling them the truth about Epstein, telling them the truth about JFK, then what else are they lying about?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
This isn't about Epstein or 9-11 or JFK or RFK. It is, but it isn't. It's about a bigger thing. If you're lying about that, you're lying about everything. You see my point? Here's Glenn Beck on the PBD podcast, Patrick Bet-David, saying he's got some pretty good sources that the Epstein files could be coming out in like 10 days or so.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I got a big question about the Epstein files, given everything I've told you about it, and we've covered this a lot. Who the hell is on those Epstein tapes? Check this out.

Did Kash Patel get confirmed yet? Not yet. Not yet. Did RFK get confirmed yet?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Who's on the Epstein tapes, folks? Who's on those tapes? Who's in those black books? Why have they been hiding it? This is not just about Epstein or JFK or MLK or 9-11. It's not just about that. Do you see the larger point I'm making? We can't exist as a constitutional republic, which is a form of representative democracy. We are not a democracy. We are not a direct democracy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
We are a republic, which is a form of representative democracy, where yes, we vote, that's the democratic part, but we don't vote on everything. We vote on people who vote on things. If we can't trust the people, then what's the point of the republic? There is no point. If you can't tell us the truth on this, none of it matters.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
That's why this segment I'm going to play next, take our last break of the show, With Tom Homan and a leak potentially that came out of the FBI about immigration raids for gang members, rapists, and others. A leak that came out of the FBI? It's so critical. We don't clean this mess up. You're not going to have a country. Imagine the FBI being the source of a leak to protect criminal gang members.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Stay tuned. I got a lot of show left, including... Folks, we own these Media Matters losers. Absolutely own these losers like no one else. We wreck these morons a lot, but Media Matters, we have wrecked so often. It's getting to be almost a game with these idiots. I'll show you what I mean coming up next. Hey, I was on a holiday trip not that long ago. I think you guys heard. I got really sick.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Thankfully, true story, obviously. I'm in Spain, so it's not that easy to find stuff. So I call my doctor at home. I give him my symptoms, do a little video thing. He's like, I'm reasonably confident you have this. I kid you not. I went to my all family pharma packet. He's like, I can prescribe you this. How are you going to get it? I said, already have it.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I want to have a serious conversation with the executives running the FBI right now because I know, like anyone else, you can tend to live in an insulated bubble. You can. Every job has it. We get lost in jargon and all this stuff. Do you not understand that the public is ready to give up on you altogether? We cannot have a country like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
We need someone fighting for counterterrorism, gathering intel on foreign threats to the United States. There are people robbing banks out there. This is serious stuff. Do you understand you've lost the public trust? Do you think stuff like this is helping?
The Dan Bongino Show

You are going to go to jail. Do you understand that? obstructing justice. There are probably multiple charges out there. You were going to go to jail. What are you getting out of this? Even if you're a believer in big government, the FBI is part of the government. The public does not believe in you anymore. Why would you do this? And they are going to catch you.

I mean, have you ever seen the movie Miami Vice? You know how easy it is to catch leakers? You know the Miami Vice movie where they want to catch the leaker and they don't know if it's the FBI or DEA? So they feed separate information to five or six different people. And then when the leak gets out, because it's there, they know exactly where it came from. Are you stupid?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
You're going to go to jail, man or woman. You signed up for the FBI, right? Do you know how hard it was for me in my last line of work? How hard it was for me to listen to these stupid Obama speeches about big government. But I always took my job as serious as a freaking stroke. Because I swore to do a job, not to be a politician. But I'm a human being.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I'm sitting there doing the Secret Service stance, listening to these Obama speeches like, gosh, this guy's crazy. But you do your job and you do it well. Why can't you do the same? Guys are killing us over there, man. Cash cannot get over there soon enough. Folks, shifting gears, but I told you there'd be more later on the media thing. We are the media now, and they are panicking.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
They have tried everything to stop us, folks. Cancel culture, deplatforming, boycotts, fake charges of racism, Nazism, fascism. Anything with an istophobia, they've tried everything. Nothing is working. We are kicking their asses every day. So they're now at the point where they have to make things up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
So I rarely cite these losers, but because they are so irrelevant now and losing steam, now what they're doing is grasping at straws. This is Media Matters for America, a total shit show of clowns and losers who've been so defenestrated right now. So I see this pop up yesterday. I'm like, oh, my gosh, they have to walk into the trap every time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Can they at least once not see the bear trap in front of them? So if you watch yesterday's show, you're like, Dan Bongino, this is their headline, argues that Trump should ignore the court order. He should. Blocking federal funding freeze. Okay. Bongino also said Trump should set up a courtroom in the White House and just start making judicial decisions. Okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I said something before that, though. Do you guys remember what it was? Do you have that by any chance? Oh, look, they do. So weird. What did I say right before Trump should set up a courthouse in the White House? Here's my suggestion before I play this video. Again, I'm speaking hyper. Here's my suggestion before I play this video.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Again, I'm speaking hyperbolically, obviously, but it's meant to accentuate a point. Play that one more time. I'm going to be sure I said that. Here's my suggestion before I play this video. Again, I'm speaking hyperbolically, obviously, but it's meant to accentuate a point. Now, there's two possible scenarios here, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
The absolute life loser dipshits with mommy problems at Media Matters don't understand what the word hyperbolically means. Intentional exaggeration for effect, meaning not reality, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Or they do know what hyperbolically means and they're just lying to you and making you believe that Dan Bongino actually wants Donald Trump to set up a scarecrow Batman courtroom in the East Room of the White House with the wig on. Now, I'm going to venture towards the second because there's scumbags over there. And I keep getting this stuff. Why don't you sue these people?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
All right, fellas, let's get this party started. Man, I got to tell you, it has been a crazy news day. The crazy news week, a crazy news month. The narrative shift is happening. Folks, how many of you in the chat are roughly my age? You guys, you know, in the 40 to 50 year old bracket. I mean, anybody, have you ever in the last, say, 40 or 50 years, which is the only body of work I can speak for.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Because, folks, it's just not worth your time. It's just not. I'm just making the point. Do you understand why we're the media now? Because a bunch of leftist clowns who don't read, probably can't, saw this headline. Someone read it to them. And yesterday, all over X, they're like, oh, my gosh, they wanted to set up a courtroom in the White House.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
If they just would have won and actually done five seconds of research and listened to the show, they would have seen it was a joke intended for effect because I said it was a hyperbolic intended for effect. Who? The Media Matters staff. No, they don't even want to put a name on it. You understand why we're the media now?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Now, keep in mind, these leftist dipshits, when their own losers like Ayanna Pressley go out and say something like this, which I'll be candid with you, I don't think she meant it. I think she slipped up. She may. I don't know. Notice how Media Matters is silent. Did Ayanna Pressley's squad member just say yesterday she wants to work with Americans or companies that want to censor Americans?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I don't know. Play the cut.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
So she. I'm just curious, where's the Media Matters staff on that one? And she says, notice, she says she can speak for her colleagues. She sure would agree that she's willing to work with anyone that wants to censor Americans. I'm not moving with you. You see how we tell people the truth? She probably slipped and didn't mean to. She probably, may or may not.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
But you notice we don't do like a piece on the website about this without giving you the caveat that she may have slipped up. Because it's, I don't want to lose my credibility with you. You see how the left-wing communist life-loser mommy problems, dipshits at Media Matters don't care about human dignity or their own integrity?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
That's why they keep getting their ass kicked three elections in a row. Folks, I want you to pay attention to this. I'm going to give you a tactical lesson here. It's not so much a Bongino rule, but it is a lesson in politics on how we're going to incorporate some of Alinsky's own rules and the left's own tactics against them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
If they're going to continue to go down this road, then we're going to do a couple things. You ready for this? There are a few steps involved here. We're going to expose, we're going to observe, we're going to mock, we're going to double down, and we're going to destroy them. Expose them, observe how they react, mock their reaction, double down on our initial point, and destroy them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
You use that multi-part plan on your social media, and we will continue to dominate the media ecosystem. First, let's talk about the exposed part. This is where the USAID debate comes in. Folks, almost no one in America who doesn't follow politics as intensely as we do had any idea what USAID was. They had no idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
They had no idea that there was a deep state slush fund full of billions of dollars used to fund anti-Americanism and censorship around the world. They had no idea. Now we know. This is the exposed part. People like Rand Paul and Mike Lee and Elon and others are doing yeoman's work in putting this out there. Rand Paul...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
It was on, I think it was Real America's Voice, talking about exactly how we can get rid of this massive government waste here. These are the kind of hits on media we need to make viral every day. It is not a hard process. Donald Trump agrees not to spend money allocated by Congress. It then goes back to Congress as a rescission.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
There's only a simple majority needed to say we're taking the money back. We need to understand the mechanics of this when we expose the process. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Seen Republicans win a government spending fight. I'm serious. Yes or no in the chat. I really wonder. You got some 49-year-olds. Yeah. Tamadez says, me, you're 51, so you're mine. Have you ever? I'm serious. Tell me when. Cite an example in the chat. Man, that chat's blowing up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Anyone have an example? No. Web mic? No. No. Hell no.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
That was Charlie's show, Charlie Kirk. Folks, we need to understand the mechanics on the exposed part because this is not complicated to do. Anyone in the chat know why I played that cut, though, about the exposed part? Who else we should be exposing? Anyone have any ideas? Let's give it a second. I just enjoy interacting with you guys so much.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I hope it doesn't, like, hurt the show, but you guys are part of the show, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
No, I'll pay the debt down.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Yes. Howard and Danielle. Yeah, right before. Actually, I'll give you three questions at the exact same time. Howard and Danielle says Republicans. Dorkness Rising says the Rhinos. And Tarzanese said the Rhinos. Yes. I told you this show is not... Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. It's anti-swamp deep state. I don't give a damn if you have an R in front of your name.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I told you when Doge gets to the Defense Department and gets to the Department of Agriculture, you are going to see local regional constituencies who traditionally would be Republican going, wait, I wanted government cuts, but not to my thing. Folks, it is time to be statesmen. I'm sorry, man. Everybody is going to have to take it on the chin a little bit here. I'm sorry to tell you that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
And I don't want to hear jack squat from Republican congressmen going, well, I didn't mean that USAID money. That was sent to a country that's going to buy a product from a place in my district. I'm sorry, man. We're $30 trillion in debt. Buck up with a B and do the right thing. You guys are good in the chat, man. Really. Yes, Endo, Lane. I'm telling you, you're too good.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
You beat me to the punch every time. It takes me seconds now. Expose them too. The second part after you expose, observe their response. Observe their response because if you're not out there looking for how they're going to respond, you're not going to be able to mock it. Observe your response. I mean, things like this are priceless because we can use it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Here is a crazy lunatic liberal out there talking about how language alert here. It's not me here in this case. She wants to fuck Trump. We got Trump rock him, sock him guy like that. What kind of like are we talking? I'm not going to act it out. This isn't a triple X show. No, they didn't say that. No, they did. This is why you have to observe their response and use it. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
So week one, everybody on the left, I don't want to say everybody on the left, but a lot of people were quiet about Trump because they didn't know what was going to happen. Shock and awe hits. Week two, the freakout begins. We're now in week three. And have you sensed the shift in the narrative?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I'm pretty sure he's good. You know, he's married. Melania's like a supermodel around the world. I'm pretty sure we're... We have to fuck Trump! Yeah, no. Sorry. Okay. Observe... And mock. We can't mock, Dan. No, we can, folks. I get it. Dan, you say you love Jesus. I do love Jesus. And Jesus said, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
We have never... Because we were never the media. We had to deal with Cronkite, Brokaw, CNN, MSNBC, the nightly news. You now have this...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
And in order to defeat a potentially corrupt Caesar, we use political tactics and strategy. And mockery is a powerful weapon. Even Alinsky knew it because there's no comeback for it. So when we see responses to USAID and Elon going through the government, weeding out massive fraud, waste, abuses of your taxpayer dollars, and CNN responds with a segment like this, mocking Trump,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Big balls and hairy balls, we use it to decimate and destroy their credibility. Here's Dana Bash. This is a real segment. Not realizing Elon's baiting her with changing his name to Hairy Balls, where she actually covers hairy balls. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Elon is the goat of baiting these people. Well, Trump's the goat of getting them in a corner. You know, I said yesterday, Trump is an expert at making people choose in a Hobson's choice, which isn't a choice at all. In other words, defend the indefensible.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
seismic shift in pr where elon musk who is now full-blown maga has purchased the most important social media platform for journalism and narrative building in the history of planet earth twitter x okay he is using this platform as a free speech vehicle to get out ideas that would have been censored in the past like hey government waste is a bad thing the shift is real This happened yesterday.

The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
which of course we mock on our show to show you how stupid these people are. But mockery has a purpose too. I understand fully because I've told you often that the left doesn't care about hypocrisy. They care about hierarchy. They don't care about taking two opposing positions on an issue at all. They don't. So why would we expose it? What's the point of mocking them for hypocrisy?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Because we're not trying to convince the 20%, 30% of the population that are left-wing communists. You're never going to get them. We're trying to convince 10, 20% of the people who are persuadable that whatever you believe, at least on the right, you can disagree with us, but you know what we're saying is true. We support tax cuts, life, the Second Amendment.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Everything the left tells you is bullshit. Here's Elizabeth Warren, hat tip Mays Moore, and hat tip before Western Lensman for that other cut. It was great. Oh, no, that's someone coming up next, right? Hat tip Mays Moore here. Here is Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas, who told everybody she had Indian blood, high cheekbones, powwow chow, remember her?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Here's Elizabeth Warren taking two completely different positions on when we should listen to the courts, depending on who's in office. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
It doesn't matter. She's taking the two opposite positions to the left. It matters to us. I'm just telling you, you're never debating a leftist. They're crazy folks. They're communists. They don't care. So why debate at all? Because there's always a third party listening. That's why. You're not wasting your time. Yes, the left doesn't care about hypocrisy. They care about power and hierarchy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
But people in the middle do. They're starting to see that Donald Trump, whether you agree with him or not, is a man of his word. What he said he's going to do, he's doing. That's why his approval rating is high. And they're starting to see now that everything they've been told by the left, government's fantastic. But what about when government's not fantastic and they're wasting money?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Well, it's fantastic anyway. That's not a real position. You want to see another contrast? This is our Western Lensman, another great account. Western Lensman, at Mays Moore, really great X accounts to follow for good, high-quality video stuff. Great for show prep if you're in the conservative space.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Also follow Harry Balls. Thank you, Justin. Can we keep that as a liner? Harry Balls. And if you can follow Big Balls, find him too. Big Balls out there. I want you to see the contrast here. I give you these golden rules of politics all the time. Contrasts matter, folks. Contrasts matter. A cold plunge is a whole lot colder if you jump out of a sauna.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
It doesn't matter that the temperature hasn't changed. It's still 47 degrees. It feels colder because relative differences matter. I want you to watch the contrast between possibly the best vice presidential pick we've had in a long time, J.D. Vance, And this utter buffoon we had last time, Kamala Harris. J.D. gave an amazing speech yesterday on AI. Here's just a, you know, 20, 30 seconds of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Contrast Kamala Harris's speech on AI, and you'll see how contrasts make the J.D. speech seem even better. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I've never seen anything like this. And not only did it happen, it was all over X. It was being run live by cable news. It was all over nightly news channels. It was all over Fox, OANN, Newsmax, and just about every MAGA person on planet Earth watched what was, I don't know, guys, what was it, 45 minutes? A 45-minute presser in the White House.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Ladies and gentlemen, I would say presented without additional comment, but I do have to, I am telling you, JD is the guy. Okay? This guy absolutely gets it. And when contrasted with this moron we had last time, he looks even better. If that was a nine and a half speech, it's a 9.75 after listening to the other one. AI is two letters. Really? We could have never guessed.

where Elon Musk and Donald Trump made such an unbelievable case for why we should be combating government waste that you would have to be a freaking imbecile to argue against it. This would have cost $100 million to get this message out if anyone else did it. Maybe more on all those channels. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I need you to understand this as my brothers and sisters in this now growing Bongino Army, and it's such an honor to have you here. To do what they did yesterday, get an hour, it wasn't prime time. I forget what time it aired. It was during the Will Kane show on Fox. It was in the four o'clock hour. By the way, excellent show. Will's doing a great job. Huge ratings, by the way. 4 o'clock hour.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
It went on for about 45 minutes, this presser. Folks, it was everywhere. To get that kind of penetration into the cable market, broadcast market, social media market, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, you're seriously looking at a bill, I don't know, $50 million or more? Trump has the bully pulpit.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
The big story, obviously, right now is the Trump-Elon tag team effort that has the deep state and everybody panicking over USAID and other minds. It's not just about USAID anymore. It's about the government in general. That's why I keep covering this. Have you sensed the shift in the narrative because we are the media now? We are the media now. Us. I'm going to prove it to you in a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
And for all those people out there, these dipshits who just do not understand Donald Trump, it's all about Trump. It's all about Trump. He's never going to see the microphone, anyone. Donald Trump seemed, you guys watch it, was just sitting there like, go ahead, Elon, make your case. Do you see him interrupting at all? I didn't. Did I miss something?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
And I thought Donald Trump was an egomaniac who makes it all about him. Didn't seem to be doing that yesterday. Argue Elon's point. If you are a liberal lunatic or moron watching my show in the chat trolling, knock yourself out by the only answer to our chat. Simple question. What did Elon say that bothers you? Look at this. Snapshots and sound bites, folks. Look. Look at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
You can't beat this imagery right here. Argue against what he's saying. The people voted in the House, in the Senate, and in the presidency for a guy who ran specifically on a big free market and a smaller government footprint. And Elon said it right. You're getting exactly what you voted for. Argue against it. Make the case. Love to see it. You can't.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I'm going to leave this story here because I got a ton of stuff to get to, including a big victory for you. I told you this was going to happen. We are the media now. And when I say me, I mean all of us. It's not about this show. I love this show. It's my show. I'm proud of it. You got Charlie out there. You got Bannon's show. You got Shapiro, The Daily Wire. You got Dana, Clay and Buck.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
These are technically in the market for me, competitors. But for my ideology and my activism that comes first before the job, they're not competitors. They're allies. And I want you to always remember that. Thank you, Justin. I'm all about spreadsheets, folks. I don't get emotional. Clay and Buck have other stations. Fantastic. That's great. Because activism comes first.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
activism in advance of defending the republic always and the minute you lose that get the hell out of this business go into sports commentary that's fine but don't pretend you're trying to save the country so yesterday i told you this folks everybody i'm i don't say everybody again i i don't want this is not a case of hyperbole or exaggeration for effect that may come up later
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
There are a lot of people even on our side freaking out over this lawfare going on by the left. Totally get it. Let me stipulate a point to you in advance, which I agree with. This is not a fight. You are correct. What these judges are doing and these left-wing activists like Norm Eisen and others to sue over every time Trump clips a toenail, right? is obscene.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
These judges should throw these cases out. The cases are ridiculous. Trump is the executive, doesn't have the power to execute over the executive branch. Okay, then we don't even have a government if that's the case. The government's not accountable to our elected president? Really? I get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
I'm simply telling you that the left is setting themselves up just like they did in the Jack Smith case where they all laughed. Oh, look, we got Trump. Jack Smith's going to get him for treason and an insurrection. And what happened? Jack Smith got let go. The case got tossed out and the Supreme Court ruled in Donald Trump's favor.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
And now the four corners of the presidency are solid on official acts. The left got a kick. This isn't even karate, man. A kick. Maybe it's. Kick in the ass like you've never seen. It took time. The left in the beginning was like, we got him. Look, Jack Smith. The left in the end was like, they got us, Jack Smith. Yeah, we did. It takes time. It takes time. Let the left sue.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Do you hear how the left is talking? Please pay attention to this, man. I don't mean to sound like an ass or condescending. That's not my intention. Pay attention to how lefties are talking. There's a Doge hearing on a few minutes ago. And even the Democrats on the panel. are like, well, you know, we're all interested in cutting government spending. But, oh, we are?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Even the left wing commies at Axios are starting to figure out what I told you yesterday. Did we not have this conversation yesterday? Don't. Don't get crazy about it. Get even. And here's how we do it. We fight the same wars in the courts. Axios, Trump's many front court war. They begin by basically like taking a celebratory tone about Trump lost this, Trump lost that, okie dokie.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
But then they note that the Trump team, they're setting the stage for historic Supreme Court showdowns that could test Trump's push to remake the federal government. And, and, what does it say? Michael, can you read that? What does it say? And increases power. And increases power? They could also provide roadmaps for how to stop him. And increases power?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Wait, I thought this was, how would these lawsuits by the left increase Trump's power? This is Axios writing this. They're like communists. Even they are starting to get it like, hey, liberal dipwads suing this guy? This may not be a good idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Because if the Supreme Court starts fast-tracking a lot of these cases, we got four years to deal with a president right now who's going to be more empowered if he wins these cases, not less. Yeah, I think so too. You are correct. I definitely put an accent on different points than Mike Allen. But those are the words, are they not? Mike Allen is a very smart guy in this case. Don't freak out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
We are not going to win every court case. You have too many judicial activists on the bench. That's why it's important to win the presidency, because he's the one who nominates judges. It's also important to hold the Senate so we can confirm them. And now that Harry Reid dumped the filibuster, we have a majority.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
We need to get constitutionalists on the bench and not politicians like the liberals do. You see how important it is now? That's why I told everyone during the midterms, you got to vote down ballot. Oh, Dan, these Senate Republicans are assholes, a lot of them. Correct. Some of them are. But I'd rather have them than a liberal who's going to vote for a politician on the bench.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
So one other quick news story before I get to the dealmaker in chief and how you guys were weeks ahead of the news cycle. Yet again, a lot of people asked me to comment on this. Libs of TikTok. Just Dan, Ron Rowe. who was the acting Secret Service director, has now retired, is leaving the Secret Service. There are a bunch of people like, oh, Dan. No, there already is a new director, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
It's Sean Curran. I know Sean. I wish him the best. I hope he's... I have not spoken to him about this. I've spoken to some other people. I've not spoken to Sean. We will one day. I hope he's working on reforming the Secret Service. I... I'm optimistic, but guarded on that. But Ron Rowe was going to be a disaster. I'm glad he's gone. It's not personal. I've known Ron. He was never unkind to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
He was not a leader of the Secret Service, okay? I'm sorry. He was part of that chain of command with the two assassination attempts. So he's out. That's good news. We wish Sean Curran the best. Sean's a man with dignity. He's got a lot of courage, and I hope he fixes the place. Let's see. Again, I don't get emotional about it. It's all about spreadsheets.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Folks, I know there's a lot going on, but if there was ever a story where you guys, the Dan Bongino army, beat the media by a week on a story. I mean, we beat them by more typically, but the news cycle comes at us so fast. If you beat them by a day, we should be lucky. I told you with the Gaza thing that happened last week. that this is a bigger story than Trump proposing a U.S.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
Notice I said the Democrats on the panel. Of course, they're not really interested in that. But did you notice how, because we're the media, and for the first time in, I don't know, 100 years, have turned the tide on the government is a benevolent force in our life narrative?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
involvement in Gaza, of course, which is in the Middle East, between Egypt and Israel there. The story is bigger. It ties back to the beginning about narrative shifts, how the media has now lost control.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Trump and Elon Tag Team Rock The Deep State (Ep. 2421)
The old school left-wing commie media has forced themselves into a reactionary box where if they don't react immediately and negatively to anything Donald Trump says, the subscribers on their outlets go away. The Washington Post, the New York Times, and these other MSNBC, CNBC outlets They have subscribers now, whether it's through cable or subscribing to the outlet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Sometimes it's just best to sit back and do nothing. They didn't do it last night. Folks, one of the things about President Trump that I find... And he's not afraid to inject humor. You remember Elizabeth Warren last night? That was a classic. But last night, there was an opportunity to highlight an ongoing problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Inefficiencies in our social security system that have led to excess payouts, people who don't. You know, people who may be dead getting money, people who are older getting Social Security. They are a powerful, powerful set of American citizens. They vote. They've worked their whole lives. They built this country. And listen, they're reliant on this product called Social Security.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
No matter how badly it's been mismanaged, we can't just pull the rug out from other them because they already they paid into this program and feel justifiably so like, hey, you know, I get my money out. I don't blame them. You'd feel the same way. So Donald Trump took an opportunity last night to use a little bit of sarcasm and humor to highlight an ongoing problem there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
And sometimes, these guys here know where I'm going with this, because we had this conversation. Sometimes humor and sarcasm, which we are quite fond of here, can be some of your best weapons. Alinsky said it, too. Ridicule, your most potent weapon. Here's funny Trump last night. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Again, I don't think that was in the prompter. I'm reasonably confident it wasn't. It was just an opportunity to kind of break up what's a very serious moment with a bit of sarcasm and humor and use it as a potent ridicule weapon like Alinsky recommended. It was a liberal activist, by the way, because there's no comeback to it. He's, of course, talking to HHS Secretary Kennedy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Nobody doesn't like him. Nobody. People have been as good, nobody better. He is really, really good at this. And he really made fools out of his opposition last night. You know, serious moments, lighthearted moments. You want to take people on an emotional roller coaster. It makes them feel alive, like they're part of something. I want to contrast that coming up next.

Compare that with President Trump and J.D. Giving Al Green the old get out of here heave-ho as he's interrupting. Looking like Scrooge McDuck. Oh, man. Can't get any better. I'm telling you. Now, look at that. There you go. What a contrast. Look at those two pictures. This stuff matters in politics. If you don't understand it, please do me a favor. Don't get into politics. It's okay.

Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Look at this. What a disaster. They complained about Joe Wilson with the you lied thing. Al Green's screaming. Now, listen. Anybody can say, hey, the speech was great. I mean, obviously, while I'm still in my political opinion role, I have a strong opinion about it. I do, however, try to be objective. I mean it, you know, serious time, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
It doesn't do me any good as a supporter of this movement we have built over the years to lie to you. If it was a garbage speech, I'm obligated to tell you. I mean, I wouldn't call it garbage. I'd be nice about it, but I would still tell you, and we need to work on that. Last night was spectacular. It really was.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
It was also, and I think objectively bad, horrendously bad night for his opposition that just decided to embarrass themselves. I don't know why. I don't know why. They're usually smarter than this. But those are opinions. Back it up. Okay, here it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Here's CNN, so I can't be accused by Stewart or anyone else who doesn't like us in the media, and we have a lot of people who don't like us, as I'm finding out. Here is CNN discussing a poll where 69% of Americans had a positive reaction to the speech. 69% of Americans. You can't get near 70% of Americans to agree on anything. That's how good of a speech this was. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Now, I get it. Where am I going with this? There are some people out there who are like, Dan, you said 69% of positive reaction. Yes. Michael was a math major. Play the clip again. I'll rewind. You'll see what I mean. Some people are confused. Not you. Not you. I promise you there are people confused going, I don't get it. I know you don't. I'm sorry. I can't help you. Michael, help him out.

Sometimes we text Michael. Well, my daughter has a math problem. They can't figure it out. Michael's like, boom, boom, right away. He never forgot his math. That's pretty good. Here, you want to put the screen up?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Michael gets it. He'll help you. Text him. Here's his number. Can you imagine that? Your phone would totally blow up. Oh, man, the RNC. Man, remember that? Oh, my gosh. I had to change my digits after that. I couldn't take it. I couldn't take it. I'm sorry. It was just what a meltdown after that. All right. This is, again, one of the highlights of the night. And, folks...

Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
This is where President Trump, I believe, is a different brand of Republican politics. Let's be honest. Outside of Reagan, there hasn't been really a national Republican or international Republican figure who has really got his finger on the pulse of how people really work than Donald Trump. And I think it's due to his business experience where he's had to deal with everyone in New York from...

mob people trying to squeeze his construction sites to unions, to city officials, for labor contracts. He just has to know how people are feeling. This was a really amazing moment, obviously special to me, having been a former Secret Service agent myself. It was a very nice thing to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
I texted Director Curran this morning from the Secret Service, and I said, hey, man, really great job with the young man. Here is Donald Trump calling out a 13-year-old battling brain cancer. They made him an honorary Secret Service agent. This was really nice and definitely worth checking out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Good for you, Sean, President Trump. That was a very nice gesture. And by the way, there's total snapshot there. Total snapshot. That commission book that, you know, that thing you see like in the X-Files, FBI, that looks like a real commission book. I have one. I was looking around for mine, but since I didn't even say it, sorry, I don't mean to get off track. This is the last day in the studio.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
So there's almost nothing here except for the, you know, Most people send a couple on the desk, and that's really it. I was going to show you my commission book. That looks like a real commission book. That's pretty cool. So good job, Director Curran. Hey, man, this stuff matters. You know, it's the government. It's serious stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
But it takes but a moment to make government employees we pay for, whether it's Director Curran, the Secret Service, or the FBI. We don't have to be stiff. There's nothing wrong with being relatable. There's nothing wrong with that at all. We're there to serve you. It's public service. Public service. We work for you. Not the other way around. This government operates by consent of the governed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
We work for you. And there's nothing wrong with showing a human side to even a United States government enterprise like the Secret Service. Nice job. Folks, I told you, you know, the media response, the media meltdown to the one, the first term. And now the early days of the second term and these early days of the second Donald Trump victory have been borderline hysterical.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
But I'm going to tell you something. And again, I say this putting on serious Dan Bongino hat here. The response to this 13-year-old young man with cancer by Nicole Wallace last night at MSNBC is one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen in media. I'm going to tell you something. I don't speak for Fox. I never did, even when I worked there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
But this is the kind of thing where if you were on your Fox News show and did something like this, where you tried to tie a 13 year old with brain cancer to January 6th and what happened at the Capitol. I'll tell you right now, there's no doubt you're getting a phone call and they'd be like, really, really? I'll show you what I mean.

I'm going to take a break quick here, and then I'll get back to it. And I think you'll agree, this is one of the worst moments I've seen in the anti-Trump, losing their minds media in a really long time. Brickhouse, are you one of these up and down yo-yo dieters? You lose weight, gain weight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You wind up with a condition, you know, you wind up being really skinny, but simultaneously holding a lot of body fat at the same time. You look terrible and it's really, really unhealthy. It's dangerous. Can increase your risk of a heart attack, stroke, type two diabetes, and health problems. Break free of the yo-yo diet problem. It's a real issue. That's one of the reasons as a product I use.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
I lost 30 pounds or so. I was like 238 around. I'm around 200 now. But at the time I was on lean, I lost this 30 pounds. I lost it. It's slow and deliberately and preserved a lot of my muscle tissue. I love the product. Lean is a supplement. It's not an injection. You don't need a prescription. The science behind lean is amazing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
It's studied natural ingredients, target weight loss in three powerful ways. Lean helps maintain healthy blood sugar. It helps control appetite and cravings, and it helps burn fat by converting it into energy. So if you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back, and you want to lose meaningful weight at the healthy pace I did, and obviously keep it off. Look, you see me now for a year.

And yes, media people, that's called an ad while we still have a job. It's an advertisement for a company. And yes, I do like the product. Yes, I like to be healthy and I like to lose weight.

All right, back to the show. This is one of the worst moments I have ever seen in the media in response to Donald Trump recognizing a 13 year old with brain cancer. This is an analogy you never make. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Folks, do you understand the level of derangement you have to have and the hatred for Donald Trump? Excuse me. To take from a story of a 13-year-old with brain cancer having his moment as an honorary Secret Service agent. He's not going out there protecting the president. They didn't issue him a firearm last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
One, because he's wonderful. But second... because you're going to be watching him. He is going to be taking my place on this channel. There he is, smiling, hands crossed, radio pose right there. He will also be taking over my radio show, but this is the podcast audience. Vince will be going at 10 a.m. Anita, McGraw and crew, P1 listeners, Bongino Army folks who've been there from the beginning,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
It was obviously meant to be a lighthearted moment to celebrate this young man and his battle. with this potentially and sometimes likely terminal disease. He's 13. And you took out of that that what do I let me see. You're on the show. You're like, what are my viewers at MSNBC want to hear tonight? I've got an idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You ever hear Jesse Waters joke on the five recess permission to make an analogy? They do that because the running joke is analogies can go wrong really quickly. They can. And you got to kind of be careful on the air. You don't make light of something. So that's kind of where that comes from. Give you a little inside baseball. Nicole should have asked the same question.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Permission to make an analogy here to January 6th. I think even the crazies over there would have been like, I can tell you for sure, Guy and Mike will be like, they'd be behind the scenes like... Yeah, Guy would be like, did you sleep well last night? How are your eyes? Do you need an eye cream? Guy would stop. He may even cut out of the show. There are things you just don't do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Oh my gosh. They have this title. You just don't hate the media enough. I guess not in this case. I can't imagine a worse moment. I don't care about Nicole Wallace. I don't do media boycotts. It's a waste of everybody's time. Just telling you, if someone at NBC doesn't call her up and be like, you really need to apologize, I would be astonished. It's just a terrible moment.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Here's another awful moment last night. Democrats, of course, refusing to shake hands with President Trump's cabinet members. Members of the cabinet, show some respect. It's not hard. I don't get this. Oh, damn, what would you know about that? Gee, I don't know. I was an agent for Barack Obama.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You know, when you leave the detail, I don't know if you know this, when you leave the president's detail, you have the opportunity to take Oval Office photos with your family. I took them. Barack Obama's the President of the United States. I have the photos. They're not hanging all over my house, but I have them. I didn't say, no, I'm not taking the pictures. You just shake their hands.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
What's the big deal? No. He's like, here, let me shock everyone. Breaking news. Everybody's in a work environment out there. If your workplace has more than two people, like you and your wife, right, which is a lot of small businesses, mid-sized, and certainly large businesses, everybody goes to work with someone they don't like. It's a good point. I mean, Guy and Justin can't stand each other.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
It was like a UFC match in here the other day. Michael had to break it up. It was like a rear naked choke going on. Guy had the leg hooks in. I was like, guys, this is like an HR problem. We can't have this in the workplace. There's not even a mat on the floor. But he does it anyway. They give each other a high five and get the show done. Apparently not the Democrats. Watch this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
How bad does it have to be where CNN's like, yeah, I'm not really sure. This is a winner. You just shake their hands. This isn't complicated. Folks in the chat are like, did Guy really? No, no, I'm kidding. They're united. It's actually, they're united against me and the Star Wars front with the ongoing drama over Rogue One. They're the best of friends. They love each other.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
We will be at 10 a.m. Eastern time. That will be the live show. Vince has got a killer first week lined up of interviews that are going to blow your mind. You're going to love it. Why 10? Because our good friend, Steven Crowder, one of the most popular live streamers in the known cosmos, he is going to be in the 11 hour as well. So you'll be able to stay on Rumble all day. You got to Vita.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
And, you know, whenever you mention Rogue One, it's like a unity moment where they both fire bombs against me. I mean, it's really ruthless, too. You would think this company was called, like, you know, Guy and Justin Inc. They don't even care. Like, yeah, I signed the checks, whatever. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. No respect. Like Rodney Dangerfield. No respect. I got to have fun, guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
I got to have fun. I got to put my series. Got serious things to do. Not leaving you without a smile. I was just telling Avita that this morning. I said, man, we're going to laugh a little bit before this wraps up. Hey, don't let me, wait, I know I got the Joy Behar clip. Did you see the Joy Behar clip? What Joy Behar clip? Hey, stand by. This is the last day in the studio. The last day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
We had some good moments here. You know, we had some good moments, but good moments at bad times. I mean, Guy, you and Michael remember when President Trump was shot in the head? I'm calling him on the phone. I'm like, guys, we got to – he's like, what do you want to do? I'm like, I think we should just go live. And, you know, we didn't know too much other than he was obviously shot in the head.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
But we came in. We knocked out a show. And then when President Biden said he was leaving the race, I'm like, we got to do it again. And so many shows here that, you know, the coverage after election day. So if everybody, you got the wave and emoji guy, throw one in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
And I know it's just a place it's, you know, whatever, but it's not that it's that we had the memories and the memories are going to be tied to this place. It's just four walls and a floor, but the emotions around that are tough. This is the last podcast we will ever do from here. Tomorrow's show, you will see, will be from the new studio. And we're going to give it. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, man.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You guys going to miss this place too? I'm going to show you something. This is just this thing here. It's just a TV, man. Can you do the two-shot there? Yeah, look. There, you have Oscar winners and nominees. Anyone want to watch a TV show in the back? That's all this is. The new studio, we got New York City bricks in the background. You'll see them later.

Real iron pilings, bookcases, fancy lighting, all this other stuff, multiple sets. Here is just basically a converted apartment. I'm going to miss this place, though. Sorry, guys. Didn't mean to divert off the topic. Yeah, look, zoom out. Look, gizmos. This is Guy's little Lego guys here, the Rhino. Was that Jen Psaki? We got the clown.

The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
The view has always been as I'm going to miss this, by the way, because once I put my nonpartisan government service hat on, my opinions are going to stay inside. I've got a job to do. Raise my right hand. I plan on doing it in a nonpartisan manner, obviously, or I wouldn't accept the job. So I'm going to miss The View because it is a source of ongoing content for the show and humor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Here is Joy Behar, again, with the ridiculous argument that Donald Trump's win was not some kind of a landslide. It was in this hyper-partisan environment. And she tries to bait Stephen A. Smith into it. Stephen A. Smith, who acknowledges he's not even a Trump supporter, kind of looks at her like, really? Did you follow what just happened about two months ago, a little less than two months ago?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
I want to pile a quick tactical point on to Stephen A. Smith's commentary there to Joy Behar, who's just sitting there speechless as Stephen A. just rattles off a series of accurate statistics, by the way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Folks, you have to understand all of this was done, the Donald Trump resounding victory, swing states, movement of minority voters and elsewhere, and other things as well, which he just mentioned. This was all done in a political, use the buzzword, the ecosystem, whatever, where the entertainment community, largely the sports community,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
the music community, the acting community, the academic community, the corporate environment, and certainly the media environment, which is obvious from that last segment, was all tilted to the Democrat side. Let me, here, analogy for you. Permission granted, thank you. It's like going into a boxing match where you have 20-ounce gloves on,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Your opponent has chain mail, has headgear, a chainsaw, and a blowtorch. And you win the match. And you win it by decision. You get where I'm going with this? The context matters. People might say, well, that wasn't an impressive victory. He only won by a split decision.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
So thank you, Chris Pavlovsky, Steve Crowder, Vince, Haley, Evita, and to my lovely wife, Paula, for coordinating. All this. We appreciate it. Big announcement. Give them a follow on X. All right. Last night, folks, what an absolute disaster. for the anti-Trump opposition. You know, I can't say it enough.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Yeah, when you factor in the opponent had a blowtorch body armor on and a chainsaw while you had 20-ounce gloves and a hand tied behind your back, it's pretty darn impressive. That's a pretty good analogy. That's what's going on here. Donald Trump had... The mechanisms of government, law enforcement weaponized against them. There's no question about that. None.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Media, I just went through the whole list. The entertainment community, all of them. Calling them all kinds of vicious, horrible names. And he still wins every single swing state and the popular vote. I think that that's worthy of an impressive landslide mandate title. Donald Trump did something last night. President Trump did something very impressive last night too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Folks, when you're in a debate with someone, what are they? It says a name. It doesn't matter. But there's this technique people have in a debate. And I'll drop this on you and put it in your little toolkit. When you're debating someone on any issue, one of the most effective things you can do is say I'm debating Guy about Rogue One, right? Guy loves Rogue One.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Me, I'm getting there, but I'm not sold yet. What you say to people is let me make the case that Rogue One is not the best Star Wars movie. But here's what Guy is going to say. It is one of the most effective debating tools. Why? Anybody know in the chat? Because when Guy says it, you look smarter, not him, even if the point he makes is genius. Why do you look smarter?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Because you look like you're able to predict the future. You do. You look like, my gosh, you're in Guy's head. But keep in mind, you're not really, let me relate it back to politics. You always know what a Democrat's going to say about tax cuts, right? No matter the tax cut, they probably hate it, correct?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
So you don't have to be the Stygian witches or, you know, Karnak from the Johnny Carson show to say, my opponent here is going to say he hates these tax cuts, and here's why the rich should pay their fair share. You saw Biden say it before in that State of the Union thing. Why do you know that? Because they always say that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
It doesn't take a genius or a super genius, but when you say it to an audience, you look more impressive. Here's Donald Trump last night, beautifully employing this debating trick right there when he says, no matter what I say tonight, the Democrats will not get up and applaud. And then in fact, they didn't. And he looks very pressured for doing it. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
I am not a huge fan of James Carville, Democrat political analyst, because I'm not a Democrat. I'm a Republican. Right now, I'm in my political opinion role. I have strong opinions. I am a conservative, MAGA-oriented political opinion commentator. I don't think that's a mystery. I find it hilarious when reporters are still reaching out, by the way. They're still reaching out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You see that, listen, man, it's a free country. I am an avid, firm, passionate supporter of the First Amendment. Speak out. You don't like Donald Trump. Say what you got to say. But you can't, everybody who thinks this guy is some kind of, you know, unhinged, whatever, you're totally missing the forest for the trees.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
He does these things like this because he has a natural kind of instinct for this political back and forth. That is people do that in debates all the time. And then what happens? The camera pans over and he's absolutely right. No one's responding. No one's clapping for even the good stuff. Hey, America's back. Democrats, you know, sitting on their hands.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Employ that in your debates and you'll see it is an unbelievably effective tool to disarm what your opponent's going to say before they even say it. I want to bring this up again because I don't want to miss it. I only have a, let me see what a few shows left. We got next week, March 14th, be the last podcast. After that, Vince Colonace will be taking over. I promise you're going to love him.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
He will be at 10 a.m., 10 a.m. Eastern time. And it's going to be an interview-based show. He has the best guests. He has tremendous access to people. He has an unbelievable show. He'll also be taking over on radio as well. There was a question from the audience. Is Vince going to be streaming the radio to Rumble? I'll get you answers for all this stuff, I promise.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
As you can imagine, given this opportunity presented by President Trump, A.G. Bondi, and Director Patel, I didn't have a lot of time. So we're still working through this with you. I'm not going to lie to you. This show is authentic for a reason. When I don't have an answer, I'm not sure I will get that for you. But I can tell you this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
The Haley Show, Rumble.com slash Haley, H-A-Y-A-L-E-Y, is happening. Evita's show has already been going, Rumble.com slash Evita. Vince's show is happening at 10 a.m., and I will get you more of the details. It should be on this feed here as I transition out. So you won't have to do anything. All you have to do is watch.

I want you to know my wife and my daughter and I are trying to read as many emails as we can. I got one last night from a 70-year-old grandmother who loves the show and told me how she was not big on watching stuff on the internet before we started and now is hooked. I got your message and it means the world to me. I wasn't big on watching stuff on the internet either. And now look what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You should just watch in case it's a total train wreck. It'll be fun. We can watch it. Will lights fall down? It'd be crazy. It won't. It won't. He's like, will there be a public execution? No, no, no, no. It's okay. I rushed. I had to rush him. I couldn't help it. All right. Enough for me. See you in the radio show in a little bit. Back here tomorrow. You just heard the Dan Bongino Show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Our friend Stewie Thompson reached out to producer Jim. Dan Bongino said that we know what Dan Bongino said. Guys, how do you think we know what Dan Bongino said on the Dan Bongino show? Because Dan Bongino said it on the Dan Bongino. We know, Stu. We know. You don't have to send us our quotes. We know because I said them. It wasn't a clone.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
back we are so so back folks i told you before i i i think it's you call me crazy it's it's okay tell me in the chat i'm watching right now we see uh edge 1776 i'm watching you guys tell me in the chat if you think i'm nuts I actually think the separation of the two Donald Trump terms with four years of Joe Biden have created an absolute witch's brew for the Democrats.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
But it's amazing how media people are stunned that a guy who has a job right now as a political opinion maker has political opinions. Crazy. However, last night was a disaster. Carville, who I don't agree with on the opinion front, says often, the old adage is, Don't just stand there, do nothing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
All the Democrats had to do last night, like Zelensky, all he had to do on Friday was show up and sign the minerals deal, and he didn't do it. He blew it and really screwed it up. Starting to unwind a little bit of that now, which is okay and a good thing. However, screwed it up. All the Democrats had to do last night was show up. You don't have to clap for everything. No one expects you to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
I don't expect you to clap for tax cuts and things like that. I know you don't like that stuff. But when you're talking about Deadly, literally deadly serious situations like Lake and Riley. You know, you get up and you're solemn. And when you find out something's being done about that, you acknowledge it. A 13-year-old with brain cancer. Cancer is something I'm all too familiar with.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You ignore it when people get up and give the young man a round of applause? I mean, really? Al Green, we'll show you more of this. Al Green, get him screaming like Scrooge McDuck with the cane. Did anyone even, do you guys even hear what he was saying? I mean, if you're going to scream, here's a little hint. If you don't have a microphone, nobody hears you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
All everybody saw, pretend this was Al Green's cane, was here's what they saw. All they heard was Charlie Brown's teacher shaking a stick at people. You really believe this is the image you want? Even Dick Durbin, longtime liberal Democrat, said, Dick Durbin on the Senate side. He was like, well, I wouldn't have done it that way. Of course you wouldn't. It looked terrible.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
And the contrast of that and then Donald Trump projecting strength up there and pointing out it was political opponents that made a martyr out of him was imagery I'll never forget. One of the best speeches he's ever made, reviewed overwhelmingly positive by the public receipts incoming in case you think I'm making it up. Let's play this one first.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Here's one that we're going to cover the highlights of the night. Here's Donald Trump talking about weaponized justice going after him and how it completely, 100% backfired. And newsflash, he's correct. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
How did that work out? Well, in an electoral college landslide. Folks, there's no disputing the fact that this was an electoral college landslide. You can stick to your talking points all you want. Oh, there's no mandate. He only won the popular vote by by X amount of votes in a polarized country where large, big cities in New York, California, Chicago.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
New York, L.A., Chicago, and San Francisco, move a lot of the popular vote in one direction. That's not an effective argument to make. You're losing. You're losing because you're not listening to Carville. Don't just stand there. Do nothing. Really. The line of the night, of course, was this. The border was a big issue. The borders turned chaotic.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
The open border has resulted in a fentanyl crisis, a child sex trafficking crisis, a logistics crisis, an illegal immigration crisis, a gang crisis, a public safety crisis. The open border under Biden was a disaster. There is no question this probably sunk the Democrats along with the economy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
So you would think, again, that the Democrats would get up and at least applaud some measures being taken to secure the border because it's almost a universally popular issue right now. Nope. And Donald Trump took the perfect opportunity to tell you what I was telling you the entire time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
The Immigration and Nationality Act allowed the president, whether it was Biden or Donald Trump, to shut the border to classes of illegal migrants for any reason, for any amount of time. Look it up. Joe Biden just didn't want to do it. And Donald Trump, in the line of the night, made sure he pointed that out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Whoever wrote this in the speech, I don't know who wrote this, Stephen Miller or one of the other guys. Oh, my gosh. And you're right, this may be a Trump improv moment. This was the line of the night. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
What's the Bongino rule? What is it? Folks in the chat, where am I going with this? Get ahead of me. Get. Come on. Yeah, he beat him to the punch. He's dropping dimes right here. Yes. Yes. Who just. I'm going to see if anyone. Sometimes the chat is a little bit delayed. Yes. Who did it for. Oh, man. You guys are so many. So many people. And I got to get the first one. Man, I missed it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
But you guys are, now you're all getting it. Yeah, soundbites and snapshots. You guys are the best. Here, DS Buscemi, that's a snapshot. You're damn right. Soundbites and snapshots. And which one did Donald Trump have last night? Soundbites or snapshots? Trick question. He had both. I'm messing with you. Imagine this snapshot of Al Green screaming with the cane. No one could hear him.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Where now Donald Trump is at peak popularity because people missed him so much. If you in other words, what I'm getting at is tell me if I'm crazy. If you were going to get to Donald Trump terms anyway. I'm almost at the point right now where I'd rather have it this way than the other way. Because now you had this foil effect in between of four years of horror.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
The Senate, excuse me, the House Sergeant at Arms, they had to remove him while he's screaming Scrooge McDuck style while Donald Trump's at the podium with the smirk and J.D. Vance is giving him the, you know, I don't really care, Margaret, side eye. Do you have this? You know what? We got to play this. We got to play this. I didn't really intend to play this, but it's perfect. Okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You got the soundbite of the night. There were tons of them, but that was definitely numero uno. This is for the snapshot. This is all people are going to remember on the snapshot side. Check it out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Folks, J.D. gives them the old heave-ho thumb. Snapshots and soundbites. Listen, you all are the most amazing, fantastic audience because you guys learn so quick. I was a quick learner, too. I absorbed everything with politics really fast. That's why we went from one career to the other and moved right away. Snapshots and sound bites. Look at this. Look at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Man, did you catch that at the perfect time? Johnson, Mike Johnson's looking like, I can't believe I got to deal with these knuckleheads. Trump is smiling like, man, you guys just gave me a snapshot gift because he knows it. And J.D. 's giving him the old evil. Guys, look at his face. Hey, guys, I know you guys are meme lords out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Somebody put that up on X and Truth and just bump that thing around, man. That's up there with you. Listen to me. To my Apple and Spotify crowd, you know I love you. You guys were there from the beginning. We didn't have video in the beginning. But please, you got to watch it. Go to 14 minutes into the show. You got to see that, where Guy stopped at. That is the greatest snapshot ever.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
What's that line they put onto it? Oh, yeah. So let's keep it to you. And J.D. and Donald Trump, check it out. Guys, they say hang it in the Louvre. Hang it in the Louvre. Hang it in MoMA in Manhattan. That is just a beautiful picture. That is what politics is about. You starting to see it now? When you woke up this morning, right? It was a really deep, detailed speech last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
But let's be honest. I mean, even you and I, who are MAGA supporters, and we get it. Like, this is what we do. We follow politics. At least me for now. How much of the speech policy-wise do you really remember? I'm not trying to knock anybody. Don't take it the wrong way. All right. It was 100 minutes long. But you do remember that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
You will fully understand politics when you embrace that and tattoo it on your brain. Right direction, wrong direction. Donald Trump, President Trump highlighted this last night as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
This is important because once you start talking about big global pictures of leadership, you want to make sure that American citizens who are responding to the president feel like they're responding to his policies by saying, yes, I think we are headed in this direction rather than the wrong one that way. This was smart for him to highlight this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
And then you have this, this reemergence into the political scene, reinvigorated, stronger, better, faster. And the speech last night was just the cherry on top of Donald Trump's return to the political scene. Amazing speech. Definitely, definitely one for the ages. We are back. I've got all the highlights. Huge show today. I'm just going to follow up on the big announcement we made yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
Again, we got to go there again. What's the soundbite there? Wait, before I even get to that, I'm just going to... I love how Donald Trump, President Trump puts an accent on ever. Most ever. Just to kind of let it stew a little bit. He floats it out there and lets it kind of dwell in the ether. I love that. And then what's his political opposition doing out there?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
They're booing as Donald Trump is talking about how the American people feel a renewed sense of optimism. How do you think that sounds and looks? The answer is pretty horrendous. Is that really the snapshot and soundbite you want? I don't think they've thought this through. This is why I'm always encouraging you to not get emotional about politics. Passionate, but not emotional.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
There's a difference. All right, I may be picking nits, but passionate means it bleeds to you. It matters to you. Emotional means, for me at least, It means you let your emotions overtake reason. That's what happened last night. The Democrats had a moment tactically to sit back, look like they were cooperating on issues where there's some supposed agreement. They didn't do it. They didn't do it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Rocks The Swamp And Dems Hit Rock Bottom (Ep. 2436)
They chose to boo and hiss. Cancer patients are sitting on their hands. I tell you in the most objective manner possible. The most ever. Ever. The most ever. Most objective ever manner possible. It was a total disaster for them politically. They just did not embrace snapshots and soundbites. And don't ever repeat the mistake with them. We're not going to win every political race ever. Ever.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
So for those of you out there saying, and by the way, I don't blindly defend anyone. And I hope you understand that. President Trump and I have a lot of agreements on a lot of issues. That's why I support him. We don't agree on everything. But don't tell me this guy's a warmonger. He's doing the exact opposite. He's tired of this situation. Perma war's over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
All I'm asking everyone, I have one request, okay? Please, I'm begging you as a friend. As they used to say on the mustard deck of the police academy, stand easy. Just stand easy for a minute. Nobody freak out. You have the pro-Palestinian crowd. You're talking about genocide. You've got the Zionist crowd on the other side. This is great. We're going to... Everybody just...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He's saying, number two, fix it or I will. Third, he is trying to refocus the Hamas demon savages. who just continuously go to the table and renegotiate on terror. We'll release a hostage. Yeah, we change our mind. It'll be tomorrow. It'll be the next day. We're going to hold a few more. Now he's like, okay, I'll tell you what.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You guys attacked on October 7th and you thought you were going to establish like some new Hamas level caliphate in the area and Israel was going to be wiped out and abandoned. Trump's like, he's telling both sides, you guys better work this out because Hamas, now you will have nothing. You will have absolutely nothing. I will take everything from you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He is telling these Hamas clowns, you better get out. We gave you a shot. You effed it up. It's time to go or you will have nothing. We will take everything from you. He is also trying to refocus the Arab world. He has repeatedly asked the Arab world, who claim to be for the Palestinians, why won't you take the Palestinians in?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Remember from, what is it, 48 to 67, who controlled the West Bank, that area, Judea and Samaria? The Jordanians. Why didn't they create a Palestinian state? Has anybody asked that question? Anyone? Jordan, no, we don't want to take in Palestinians. You're the ones advocating for them. Go take them in. Egypt's the same way. Egypt closing Philadelphia. No, no, no. Don't come here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
We got to really take care of the Palestinians. So take them in. You got a whole shit ton of land. Oh, we don't want to. Trump says, you don't want to? I'm emptying the place out. We're going to clean it out, clean up the ordinance. We're going to get, by the way, I don't want any taxpayer dollars paying for this. This has to be a regional thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
All you people say you want to help the Palestinians? Here's my opening offer. I'm clearing everybody out of there. You're all going to put in billions of dollars. You're going to rebuild the place, and then you can move the Palestinians and others back in. There you go. What's your counteroffer? Do you not see what's going on? He's sick of the perma war, man.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Stop falling for every single maximalist position. By the way, I'm going to get to this in a second. Got to take a quick break. As you can tell, I came in today fired up for this show for obvious reasons. Something came out yesterday with the CIA. The Central Intelligence Agency, almost the entire workforce was offered a buyout.
The Dan Bongino Show

I'm not sure if you're going to hear this anywhere else. You may. I'm pretty sure we're going to be first on this. But let me play, you know, let me do this. Let me play John Kerry first. There is a story that broke yesterday about CIA officials and employees being offered buyouts, like a lot of them. And of course, the media freaked out again. What's Trump trying to do? This is crazy.

Why would we be getting the CIA? Why would we be looking to get rid of some of these old school people? I mean, they've been right about everything. Winky, winky, nod, nod. I'm going to play this John Kerry clip, and I'll explain why I think these stories are related. Here is John Kerry speaking, by the way, for old-school swampy Republicans, too, who always said this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You will not do anything in the Middle East until you solve the Palestinian problem. Trump said, eh, I'll try anyway. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Where is he? He's at the Brookings Institute, where a lot of the people involved in the Russia collusion hoax worked. You starting to put two and two together, folks? I'm going to say something here that may be mildly controversial, but we don't really care, do we? Having the 2020 election stolen from us, was a horrible thing. But I think Donald Trump has turned that into a huge W. How?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
No, I'm dead serious. I am as serious as a freaking stroke right now. 2016 was a warm-up. I think the Trump team themselves would admit to you they were blindsided by the deep state reaction. I really would. They came in. Trump's 20. He did a lot. The first term was great. The tax cuts, Supreme Court justices, the Abraham Accords. We got a ton done. Regulatory reform. No doubt.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
No, zero doubt about that. We got it done in spite of a massive deep state reaction. Follow me here. But it was unquestionably a warm up. They figured out after that four years exactly the levers of power and how to manipulate them in the right way. And they understood where the pushback was going to come. They knew where the little holes in the chain mail were in the armor, right? 2020 stolen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
They do all of this stuff that gins up public support against the Democrats, stoke inflation and open border. What could have been an apocalyptic moment for the United States where we may not have survived. Donald Trump comes back, rescues the country in an electoral route. Every single swing state takes back the Senate, really this control of the Supreme Court. takes back, wins the house.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Donald Trump comes in with a vengeance, with an FAFO attitude, and says, now, every single hole in the armor, in the little chain mail, we are going to exploit now. And now, he is on a warpath. How does this relate to this story?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He is tired of the intelligence community lying about the collusion hoax, about the Hunter Biden laptop, about there's never going to be a solution to the Middle East, Mr. President. Just sit down and shut up like every other Republican and Democrat. So you know what he said? If you guys can't provide freaking intelligence, then get the hell out of here and I'll do it myself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Told you a story about my friends at GenuCell. A lady named Phyllis walks into a pharmacy in Colonial, New Jersey, asks the pharmacist for an antioxidant cream for her wrinkles. Pharmacist says, I'll compound one for you. Come back tomorrow. Phyllis uses the cream for three days, goes to her dermatologist appointment. The doctor looks at her and says, you must have got work done.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You want to see what happened? Play the clip from Jesse Waters' show last night. These stories are 100% related. You guys, he's saying to a lot of these, and to not every single one of them, but to some intelligence folks out there, you guys have effed this thing up. I've given you a shot. It's Trump time now. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Folks, the stories are, I'm absolutely certain the stories are related. You know, obviously, again, we use humor a lot and sarcasm to keep the show entertaining, but this is not an entertainment show. Hopefully, it's educational entertainment, okay? He's not kidding around. The FAFO presidency is 100% a real thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He has turned the 2020 thievery into the biggest W of all time, and we're only two weeks in. And I have been assured by people in the know that this is not going to stop. You have four years. So I'm asking you this as I kind of get, because I got a ton of other stuff to get to. USAID, what's happening at the border. The winning is just, I'm serious. The winning is so overwhelming.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
These guys, we're not even, you don't want to see where we are in the show? Where are we in the show, guys? Elements. We're not into the first element. This stuff was added this morning. Look, that's my actual, I don't know if you can see that. I had to add all this stuff at the top. The first line of the show we haven't even gotten to yet. I'm dead serious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I moved at the wrong angle.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I'm just asking you this. Please don't overreact to every single thing. I know that doesn't apply to you, but to people who are new here, the political normie crowd out there who hasn't been following this like we have forever, this is how Trump negotiates. He drops a PR maximalist bomb at 100% He's expecting a 50, but he knows if he drops 100, that 50's the floor and he may get 75.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He does it all the time. He's not invading Gaza tomorrow. I promise you, on my reputation, he is not dropping a Marine expeditionary unit into Gaza tomorrow. He's waiting for a counteroffer. And if he doesn't, then we'll have to reset the argument. Everybody cool with my explanation? Sorry, I'm following the chat because the chat is absolutely on fire today. I knew it.

I know I got to get to the spot, but I'm telling you, man, I'm watching this presser last night. I had no idea, by the way. You know, Donald Trump doesn't call me and tell me what he's going to talk about. I had no idea. I'm telling you, I almost fell off the chair. I'm not being silly or hyperbolic about it. I almost fell off the chair. I was like, I got to catch myself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Like, did he just say that? All right, quick break. And the W's are coming in left and right. I haven't even gotten to my immigration story yet. This sheet is a mess. I can barely read it, right? Like a doctor. I wish I thought like one. Hey, Paul and I only have Helix mattresses in our house because they're the best we've ever slept on.
The Dan Bongino Show

The only problem with the Helix mattress, you never want to sleep in a hotel because you want to desperately get back to your Helix mattress. Folks, sleep. You've got to sleep good at night.

Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
The winning is so much and so voluminous that the left doesn't know how to respond. You know, self-praise stinks, but I don't really care at this point. I told you after the election in November when we won every single swing state that the next day that they were going to do the rock them, sock them robots. OK, you got the Trump face on. It's still not broken, by the way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I told you that was going to happen. If you talk to people on the inside of the Trump orbit, they said, this is it. We learned from the first term. We are not going to stop. We are going to hit them with everything all at once, and they don't know how to respond. And that's why you see this chaos on the left, and you're seeing all these Ws. Bill Malujan, Fox. Look at this tweet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He notes, that's unheard of. There were 11,000 plus in one day. during Biden in December of 2023. Biden's final week of office, remember where they were bragging about the border? Because they were flying everyone in? We're still 1,200 to 1,400 a day. Malugia notes, basically, we haven't even passed any legislation yet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
This was all done by executive action that I'd like to note Joe Biden said what? He couldn't do. Because he's full of crap. Folks, the deportation flights have begun to Gitmo as well. You come here, you break the law, you become a hardcore criminal and are in the country illegally, you are not going to find your ass here. You're going to find your ass over in Guantanamo Bay. You don't like it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
There's an easy way to not be in Guantanamo Bay. Don't enter the United States illegally. You doubt me? Here it is from the administration themselves. Check this out.

The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Now, before I get to my next video here, Tom Holman, which is great. Governor Phil Murphy, liberal communist from New Jersey, thought he was going to play around. I think we're harboring it illegal. Tom Holman's like, really? We're going to come check that out. All of a sudden, Phil Murphy, governor of New Jersey, is changing his mind. Before I get to that, I want to get big picture again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Pull yourself out, bird's eye view here. Tie this back to the Trump negotiating strategy I opened up with the beginning of the show. Trump's negotiating strategy, which has been led to a series of wins we have not seen in a two-week period, I think, ever, is based on him dropping the maximalist position from the start. You don't want to unscrew the Middle East? We're coming in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
We'll fix it for you. Okay? How does that tie to this? Because the thing about Trump's debating strategy and negotiating strategy, excuse me, is a maximalist position only works, follow me here, is if sometimes you mean it. Because they don't know if you're always bluffing, no one's ever going to do anything, correct?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
So when Trump takes a maximalist position and gets no results from, say, Democrats, sometimes you got to follow through. How does that relate to this story? When Trump originally brought up the Gitmo idea, I'm telling you, there are people on the left like, ah, take him, you know, seriously, but not literally. He's not going to actually send people to Gitmo. Oh, no, they're going.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
No, it's happening. Do you get what I'm saying? The reason his maximalist positions work is because the Arab world, Mexico, Canada, they're like... Wait, is he really going to do that? If it's not believable, nobody would respond. So be cautious too about going, oh, he's bluffing. He's not bluffing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He's taking a maximalist position that if he doesn't get results, you may see, and it'll be a different show. Here's another one. Folks, cutesy time is over. I don't know how many times I got to say this. This guy is not messing around. You are going to get your ass kicked if you are an anti-Trumper for the next four years if you don't understand. He's not kidding. He is the president.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You have one way to get rid of him, impeachment, and you don't have the numbers. I'll get to that story tomorrow, by the way. It's already in the works by the left. Of course, like I said. Here's Tom Holman, our border czar, who's been a gift to this country. What a patriot. Talking about the New Jersey governor saying, you know what, we're harboring an illegal or something like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
And Holman's like, really? Folks, they're not kidding. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Folks, cutesy time is freaking over. He's not kidding. I don't know what the governor thinks he's doing. When you're the governor of a major state, you are not immune from federal law. The Democrats just made a huge argument about Donald Trump should be locked up for actual official acts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
So last night, like many of you, I'm sitting at my office. I'm watching Fox News. Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel, of course, is giving a press conference with Donald Trump in the White House. And Donald Trump, rather matter-of-factly, drops the biggest public policy, foreign policy announcement in modern U.S. history about Israel.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Governor Murphy appeared to just admit to committing a crime completely outside his job scope on a public interview. That's how stupid they are. But again, the maximalist position, because Homan and Donald Trump are obviously working. If you just submitted to a crime, they're going to investigate. If you think he's kidding, good luck.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I don't know how many times you guys are going to get burned by this. Folks, there is big money for the left in illegal immigration. I've already told you how they use the demographics of illegal immigration because they talk about it all the time. Just put in a search engine, Democrats, demographic destiny, you'll see a thousand soundbites.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
They use illegal immigration to keep their voting power and their populations high in blue states so they can keep their members of Congress and maintain electoral college power. But there's another reason they love illegal immigration, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
And the other one is there's huge money in it for left wing NGOs that then go out and gin up support for Democrats as they're taking money from the government for illegal immigration. Did you see this clip? These numbers are staggering. There are big, big dollars to be made if you support an open border. You want to know why people love illegal immigration? Follow the money, bro. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I don't care what your religion is. If you're breaking the law, I'm a Christian. I would never support a group that said Christians for illegal immigration. Folks, there's big money in this. And to the opponents of Donald Trump, he is not kidding. There is a reason he's got Doge in there. There's a reason he's got Elon in there. Cutesy time has absolutely come to an end.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Pete Hegseth, Secretary Pete Hegseth was down at the border, Secretary of Defense as well. They have now effectively moved military assets to the border because they are telling you and they're warning you, the freaking borders close, bro. You think we're kidding? You're going to find yourself in a prison or in Guantanamo Bay. Do not test us. Here is Pete Hanks. This is quick, but...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
The secretary was down there at the border, was talking to a bunch of our military officials here. And this is what we need. This is why the recruiting numbers just two weeks in have spiked to highs we haven't seen in 15 years for our military. Thank you to all the wonderful patriots who've signed up. We love you. Here's Secretary Hegsend. We are war fighters. That's what we do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
It's not a freaking social justice experiment, our military. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Folks, have you ever seen such a transformation like this between the border, between the military, between Elon and Doge and the gutting of government agencies that have worked against our interests for years? Have you ever seen anything like this? I'm telling you, it reminds me of the movie Seven.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He says, you know, let me just listen to what he said. I mean, this happened. Play the cut if you would.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Remember when they're trying to find a serial killer, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and he whispers in his ear, have you ever seen anything? Folks, I knew Donald Trump was coming into office to shake things up. So do many of you. You know, I knew the rock'em sock'em was coming. But I got to tell you honestly, this has far surpassed my expectations.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He's not kidding around, and he's hit them with so many different fronts, they don't know what to do. Now, yesterday I said it's his most important fight yet, this fight with USAID, and I'm sticking to that. USAID, not USAID, don't fall for the scam. It is not an aid organization. It is a deep state slush fund screwing over America.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
The left has chosen this fight, at least for yesterday until the Gaza thing happened last night. They have chosen this fight to melt down over because they realize if they don't have the deep state funding a censorship operation. And by the way, Chris from Rumble, Chris Pavlovsky, the CEO of Rumble. He tweeted out this morning, so let me get this straight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
USAID, did you see the story that broke this morning? USAID was funding left-wing media outlets in the United States to the tune of millions of dollars that then went on and attacked Elon Musk and Rumble. Chris tweeted that out, and then Elon wrote... like agreed, like look at this. Do you understand your tax dollars are being used to censor you? That's why the left is freaking out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
They have to censor you or else leftist stupidity will be exposed as you expose it. You're the media now. So the meltdown continues. It was a deep state slush fund, USAID, and it was a jobs program. Now what you're starting to realize, is this starting to make sense to you? Folks in the chat, man, pay attention. This is really important, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Do you understand everything I've told you is now kind of coming to fruition here? Everything the left does is fake. Their media model is fake, funded by your taxpayer dollars and BS. Their elections, fake. Their base, fake. Their media audience, fake. Their issues, fake. Everything the left stands for is fake. Trump has exposed all of it in two weeks. That's why you see this last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Joy Reid, who at the end of this claimed later on that this is a coup, this battle against USAID. She, of course, is the gold medal winner in our dopey media talking head Olympics. Expect these meltdowns to continue as they realize they can't censor us, at least with our own money anymore. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
The personal data of tens of, you mean like the OPM hack that happened under Obama or the hack of our infrastructure system under Biden? So you've got an American citizen, by the way, subject to the same rules everyone else are doing nothing illegal, going in and looking at payment systems that have paid off terrorists and everyone else. And Joy Reid's freaking out about it. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Because when the money dries up, so does the censorship. And then idiots like Joy Reid, if they can't censor you, are forced to defend their own stupidity. That's why they're freaking out. Have you ever seen anything like this? I know you haven't. Because I'm 50, so I'm going to guess, 50 years old, that about half my audience is above and below my age.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I have never, ever in my 50 years on this planet seen anything like the last two weeks. Ever. I don't know how I'm going to recover from this show after four years. I'm going to have to start taking blood pressure medication. Here's a USAID employee. This is an ABC segment. Talking about how Elon and his crew of mini-brainiacs came in to look at the USAID system.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
And all of a sudden, they started putting away the pride flags. And all of a sudden, it's a workplace. It's not an activist zone. You want to put all that stuff up? Fine. You have these beliefs? Fine. Put them up in your own house. It's a constitutional republic. Notice how that's the first thing they focus on in their government jobs, by the way. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Notice the sense of entitlement with these employees as if that this job is somehow their own personal business, not a taxpayer funded enterprise that's been working against U.S. interests. Ladies and gentlemen, USAID is a huge deal. It is the biggest fight right now. That's why. Always measure the effectiveness of what you're doing by your opponent's response.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
They are freaking out at about a level 8.5 out of 10 because when the money trained to all these left-wing organizations dries up, then they stop ginning up voter support. They stop knocking on doors for Democrats. If you're like, oh, it's only $40 billion, their budget. Do you have any idea? Folks, the Donald Trump presidential campaign was about a billion dollars.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Ladies and gentlemen, cue automatic media liberal progressive meltdown. People were losing their minds. Nobody knew what to do. Folks in the chat, how many of you were watching it live and responded how I did? He said that so matter-of-factly, and if you're going to make a major foreign policy announcement, typically what they do in the past is they tee it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Can you imagine what $40 billion will do? It's a huge deal. This is a great clip. It's a little long, but I want to let it play out. It's about a minute 30. It's worth your time. This is Glenn Greenwald and the great Mike Benz, who is our deep state specialist. I want you to listen to the question and then Benz's answer about USAID, how USAID, everything they do is never what they say they do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
If they say it's a water project, it's really some anti-democracy project and how they have this sense of entitlement like, hey, just give us the money and shut up. That's why they're so offended about what's going on right now. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. I don't even know. How many times are people going to fall in the trap? How many times fall in the trap? Here's a trap. Trap door open. How many times? How many times are they going to fall in the freaking trap? He does this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He obviously being president Trump all the time, every kooky lunatic, anti-Trump swampy media, left-wing progressive AOC, Bernie Sanders type, crazy person loses her. Oh my God, take it over the world. He turns around later and chalks up another W. Do you not see what's going on? Folks, if you missed it last night, you know we like bluff. Bottom line up front.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
That is probably the most critical piece of information you can have. The USAID effort is not genuine. They're not out there trying to help people. They're trying to enact a bunch of anti-democratic and prop up a bunch of NGO left-wingers who are going to help Democrats stay in power. That's it. That's why you saw an insurrection yesterday up outside of USAID. You did? Yeah, did you miss this?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
By the Democrats' own definition of an insurrection, invading buildings, walking through open doors, this was an actual insurrection. This happened yesterday. This is why they're freaking out. Watch this. This is about 15 seconds. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
And then they go and walk in the building. I thought walking in the building was a freaking insurrection, but like the Chewbacca guy or something. Folks, they're freaking out because the gravy train, man, is over. The Heritage Foundation put this tweet up, and they're so right, about USAID, which is the deep state piggy bank. Number one, the deep state's not a thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You know, tune in at 8, whatever, big announcement. Nobody said anything. This thing was delayed for, I think, an hour and 37 minutes or something like that. And now I think you know why. Here's what I think happened. He's sitting there in the Oval Office with Netanyahu. He's obviously telling Netanyahu he's going to say this. And Netanyahu's got to be looking at him like, what?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Now they're like, okay, it's kind of a thing, but it's not that significant. Remember Margaret Brennan? It's only 1% of spending. Now, number three, okay, the deep state is significant, but it's a great thing. We got to defend it. Now we're at number four. If you're opposed to the deep state, then you're the problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Citing dopey-ass Bill Kristol, the deep state is far preferable to the Trump state. That's Michael Anton. The deep state's not happening, but it's great that it is. Let's defend it. I got to show you this. I can't leave. I can't leave without showing you this. Everybody stand by. Don't even dare go anywhere. Everybody needs to see this. I'm sorry, that sounded kind of like a toolbox thing to say.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Don't go anywhere. This is absolute peak Donald Trump. Did you see this yesterday? It just goes to show you how a guy who is just this high-level negotiator, probably one of the most skilled politicians of our time, based on pure results, man, pure results, won three elections in a row. But he can also be funny and endearing at the same time. I know you may have seen this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
This is the presser yesterday. A woman gets up to ask a question. It was about Afghan women. I had a hard time understanding, too. She had a very thick accent, but Donald Trump had to let her down a little bit easy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Did you guys see that as it happened? This is just peak Donald Trump, man. It's just who he is. No one plays the room like a puppeteer like this guy. Nobody. Nobody. He drops this major foreign policy bombshell totally out of the blue. Stokes out a maximalist position. The whole world responds. And what? Eight, 10 minutes later, he's got everyone laughing. Hey, I'm sorry. I can't understand.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
It's a beautiful voice, but live in peace. That's just peak Donald Trump. Hey, thank you so much for tuning in, folks. We had a great day at Rumble. We're doing huge things over there.

Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You're going to say that now? Are you right? He's like, he probably laughed the first time. I'm like, no. Really? Like, is this real? Cube media meltdown immediately. Everyone lost their minds. Folks, Joy Reid didn't even know what to say. They were on MSNBC like, is this real? Do we react? Are we being played? Listen to me, okay? I'm going to help everyone out here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I can't say this enough to media people who constantly misinterpret and overreact this guy. This is the largest MAGA show out there, period. We're always ahead of it. We always drop Ws because we don't overreact and we know Donald Trump's debating and negotiating strategy. What is it? He does this all the time, folks. He drops a bomb maximalist position. In other words, 1 to 100, he drops 99.6.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He's actually thinking 55.7, but he understands that even though he's thinking 55.7, that if he drops freaking 99.6 and he gets 75.2, he's about 20 points ahead of where he was at 55.6. About. You get it? He does this all the time. 25% tariffs on Canada. Okay, we're going to shut the Fendel off. Okay, we'll delay them. He does it all the time. How many times are you guys going to get played?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Holy shit, watching the media overreact is freaking hilarious. Every time. What do you think he's doing? You think he's going to drop the 101st Airborne into Gaza tomorrow? I'm sorry, man. It's just comical watching these people after now four years and two weeks of Trump, the 2016 term, and two weeks so far. He does this over and over, and he always drops W's to Abraham Accords.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
And people, they just keep falling for it. I'm sorry, I didn't finish my thought before. I've been so excited about today's show because I just, I feel like if people would just watch this show, they would stop overreacting and have a better lick their finger feel for politics where the wind is blowing. My gosh. Did you guys respond like I did last night?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I was telling the boys this morning when I came in. I hear this thing, and it was like he said it so matter-of-factly, I had to rewind the thing. And I'm like, did he just say what I think he said, that the U.S. is going to take over Gaza? And I think the media was so surprised. If you guys missed it, the first question wasn't even about
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
This major foreign policy statement prescription he put out, the first question was totally unrelated. And then Kelly O'Donnell from NBC, who's no friend of ours, by the way, but I think was the first one who got it, basically grabs the mic and is like, did you just say we're going to take over Gaza? Like she was the first one I think who caught it. Folks, he stakes out a maximalist position.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Here's what's going on in Donald Trump's head, and I want you to think about this in context of the Abraham Accords. We don't cover a ton of foreign policy on this show. This is important, because it's not just about... foreign policy. It's about you are, this is going to happen for four years. The Trump people I know have assured me and other people that the pace of change is not slowing down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
This isn't a two week thing. This is a four year thing. So you better get used to it. And if you're not watching this show and you're going to overreact to every single thing, your freaking blood pressure is going to be through the roof and your pulse rate is going to be 122 at rest. Everybody chill. Not you out there. You guys are awesome. You get it. To the crazies.

Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I saw Jonah Goldberg on Twitter. Things are getting dumber. No, you're getting dumber because you keep getting played. Here's what's going on. Think about it in context of the Abraham Accords. You know what? Can you guys pull this? I'm sorry. Michael, look this up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
John Kerry, there's a clip of him saying that there will be no solution to the peace in the Arab world without fixing the Palestinian problem. You have to understand with the Abraham Accords, Donald Trump, who does listen to me, everyone, clearly, everyone put the horse blinkers on right now. Donald Trump does not give a shit about how you did things in the past. Let me say that again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Donald Trump's giving a press conference with Bibi Netanyahu. And I'm not kidding. Guys, right? The word bombshell is typically over you. I don't know how else to describe what happened last night. Donald Trump says the United States is going to take over Gaza, which would...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
He doesn't give a shit. All he cares about is fixing problems. When the Abraham Accords came around, where we had the Bahrain deal and the other deals over there, You know, fly with the air traffic and everything. They were great deals. Everyone told him, do not bother.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You will never get any kind of a peace or cooperation deal, however you want to frame it, with Middle Eastern countries until you solve the Palestinian problem. Everybody said that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
if we can find the john kerry thing i'll play but folks it wasn't just lurch john kerry everybody said that gee did everybody not say that you don't fix the palestinian problem don't bother donald trump's like why i'm just gonna cut a deal and i'm not i don't buy any of that shit and you know what he did and everybody thought he was crazy hold so keep hold that hold that thought
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
You can't do that. You're never going to cut a deal. Abraham Accords ain't going to happen. Fix the Palestinian problem. No. We'll fix that later. I'm doing this first. What else did they tell him? Remember when he moved the embassy to Jerusalem? What did they say? World War III. It's going to be over. The Arab world will never accept it. The whole place will get nuked. Did that happen? No.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
It didn't? Did it? Send me the World War III articles you have that happened in the media. Oh, they didn't happen. It didn't happen. World War III didn't break out until Trump left office and October 7th happened when he wasn't in office. Everything these foreign policy experts, this is important, man. Listen to this, you dumbass media morons.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
When he said it, I'm sitting up there in the chair in my office watching it, and it was one of those, the ex-chair, I almost fell off the chair. I'm like, did he just say that? It would only be the biggest public policy pronouncement about Middle East foreign policy, I don't know, since the 50s? I don't even know how to describe it. I'm going to tell you what's going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Chill. Donald Trump is looking at Gaza, this little strip of land, tiny little strip of land. And Donald Trump, this waterfront, beautiful property that was, by the way, only handed over not that long ago to the Palestinians. So anyone telling you, oh, my gosh, the Palestinians have been there forever is full of shit. What was it, 2005 they handed it over? 2005, not 1905.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
So let's not pretend this is some generational thing. OK, that's just the hard facts. You don't have to believe it. I don't care. It's reality. Donald Trump's been told, hey, man, the foreign policy intelligentsia said, you got to let the Palestinians and the Israelis work this thing out. Eventually, they'll figure it out. And Donald Trump's like, but they haven't. but they haven't.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
The Israelis gave the land back to the Palestinians who then used the land to bomb Israel. Whatever side you're on, you know where I stand on this. I've been very clear about my position, about who the good guy and bad guy is in this fight. Wherever you stand, can we both agree that's true? Did it happen or did it not? End the story in the chat. I don't care how you feel.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Just can we agree on the facts? Israel, whatever, they gave them back the land. Did it happen? Okay, yes, thank you. What happened? Attacks were then launched into Israel. Whatever position you have, that happened. Trump's like, clearly no one's fixing it. So here's what he said. He probably walked into Netanyahu, probably totally blindsided him and said, hey- I'm going to really language alert.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I'm sorry. I'm really, but it's important here because he, this is probably the language used. So I don't mean this for effect. I can almost guarantee you. He walked in there and said something to this effect and probably use the language. He said, guys, you guys fuck this place up. I'm going to unfuck this right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I'm coming in there with the big stick, and I'm going to fix this place if I got to develop the damn thing myself, if you guys don't unscrew it. I'm telling you that's what happened. You can believe it or you can laugh. I've been right about everything. You media people are always wrong. Here, you doubt me? Here's Politico playbook.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
I mean, these are like outright communists over at Politico this morning. They talked to some off-the-record guy. The official argued it's in the interest of other Arab powers, like Saudi Arabia, to find a solution to the conflict. Bongino's right again. Thank you. And that Trump throwing his ideas out there might inspire others to counter. As the source said himself, we'll see. Somebody gets it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
Whoever Politico spoke to, shockingly, even a blind squirrel gets a nut, is 100% correct. He's telling the Saudis. He's telling UAE. He's telling the Kuwaitis, the Jordanians. He's telling everyone in the region. You guys have not on this problem in a hundred years. Fix it. Or I'm coming in there to do it. A couple other thoughts here. Trump is tired of the perma-war, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Shocks The World With Major Announcement (Ep. 2416)
The permanent war status of the Middle East. Israel, Palestinians, Israel, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Israel, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Israel, the Golan. He's tired of it. He is the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military force in the cosmos. He's tired of it. He's telling them, un-F this situation, or I'm telling you, we're going to go and take it. He doesn't want the perma-war anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
So I got three fingers up for those of you listening on audio only. Why do I have three fingers up? Any ideas? Because there are three words that matter. If you read the title of today's show, you'll get the cheat sheet. Total freaking personnel warfare. Okay, that's four words. I threw a freaking in there, but it really doesn't count. Total personnel warfare. Total personnel warfare.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I've got to give a shout out in the chat to Retro Whiskey, who has the line of the day so far in the chat, citing the new viral meme from yesterday from Vice President Vance, which is, I don't really care, Margaret. Don't really care. You want to break the law? Oh, I'm going to hide that. Thank you, Retro Whiskey, kicking ass and taking names. Member of the Bongino Army, love you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I don't really care, Margaret. There's a way to not get locked up outside of a school or a hospital or even, what do you think, you're going to go hide in a school? So just to be clear, you're a criminal in the country illegally, and parents want that person to hide inside their kid's school. If you believe that, you're as crazy as these liberal reporters talking to us, Steve Miller.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
We don't really care, Margaret. But thanks for asking. People are policy. With people like Steve Miller in there who understand how to enforce the law and deal with left-wing lunatics, we can't lose. Combine that with Tom Homan, who is a gift to America. By the way, this guy is an unbelievably nice guy, a really good and decent human being. But that's not besides the point, because do we care?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I care personally, but do we care for public policy? No. What do we care about? outcomes, results, all we care about. Who's getting results? T. Holman. Here's Tom Holman yesterday doing an interview where, this is great, the media again tries to frame the question like, my gosh, are we going to start deporting people on these deportation flights whose only crime is crossing the border illegally?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Which is a crime, by the way. And Holman's like, yeah, yeah, by the way, there'll be more. He thought he was going to back down. Not only is he not back down, he's like, oh yeah, yeah. And by the way, we're going to open the aperture and it'll be even more. This is how you do it. This is how you rock them, sock them robots. This is how rock them, sock them happens. They hit you with something.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
No time for popping the bubbly. Get it done. We are the Bongino Army, the most powerful force in the magosphere. There is no second place. There's only us. Get it done. Get it done. We got a lot to talk about today. It came out a little hot. By the way, new shirt available. As always, all of my proceeds go to charity, so it's for a good cause.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You hit them with something even worse than when they hit you with. So they don't even know how to respond because they thought you were going to back down. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I don't even know how to describe the greatness of what you just heard. How were they... totally kind of flat affect approach to completely unemotional. Martha Raddatz is expecting him to say, Oh no, we're not going to go after people who broke the law. I mean, unless you're like a rapist or a murderer, because she thinks she's got them in a corner. Homan says the exact opposite.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
And she has no idea how to respond. Oh, no. Once we get the really, really bad people, we're going to go for the bad people. And then we're going to go to people who broke the law and said, you have to go back. You want to come back later? Maybe. But I doubt that, too. You already broke the law coming here. She doesn't even know what to do. This is how Rock'em Sock'em works.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
She don't know what to say because she's so used to people backing down these people. I'm not even going to tell you what it rhymes with. And the Republican Party were like, oh my gosh, no. We have to be the party of compassion. Bullshit. We have to be the party of results. That's what the American people voted for. I got another Tom Homan clip coming up next.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You may have seen this Selena Gomez, who's an alleged celebrity, crying all over. I don't really care about playing the stupid video. She can cry for whatever she wants. Like I said, all I care about is results. There's an easy way not to cry. Don't break the law.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
And if you ever see Molly's Game, by the way, one of my favorite movies, Molly's Game, even though it's a bunch of left-wing lunatics because I love playing cards. Molly's Game, the lawyer tells her, don't break the law while you're breaking the law. Do you know what don't break the law while you're breaking the law in the legal space means?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
It means if you're going to break the law by crossing the border illegally, it's probably a good idea to not break the law like go commit a crime in the country. I'm just saying, just an idea. Don't break the law while you're breaking the law. Another homing clip that's a freaking gem coming up next on Selena Gomez said, hey, should we get all emotional about this?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You can get emotional if you want. I care about results. That's it. Hey, the average person's finding it difficult to pay expenses every month, and in most cases, there's nothing left over to cover any extras. Most aren't getting a big raise. Expenses are up, and it's hard to manage without grabbing for credit cards. If you're a homeowner...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)

So, but celebrities are crying, Dad. They're crying. We should allow rapists and murderers and terrorists in the country and millions of unvetted people in every single year because a famous singer, allegedly Selena Gomez, is crying on like TikTok or whatever. I mean, Selena Gomez should run for office on open borders if she'd like, but she'd rather cry on Twitter.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
So they asked Tom Holman about this on Fox News and probably not the answer Selena Gomez was looking for. Check this out.

Liberation Day, 1-20-20-25, available at store.bongino.com. I'm wearing the shirt right now. Liberation Day is here. Donald Trump has declared it. Liberation Day, a quasi-national holiday. Liberation Day is here. You want the shirt, you want to rep the cause, store.bongino.com.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
That's what she can do. Selena Gomez is more than welcome to run for office. She can stop crying and put up some campaign signs. My guess is she won't. She just wants to cry. She deleted that, I guess? Gee, I wonder why. I wonder why she could have deleted that. Maybe she didn't get the response she was looking for. Because the American public is sick of bullshit, that's why, and the open border.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
And they don't want to hear from freaking crying celebrities anymore. If they did, Kamala Harris would have won and she got her ass kicked. Folks, the rock'em sock'em is real, okay? Look, they even got a Trump face on this thing. Well, we kind of threw that in, but whatever. They don't know how to respond to media.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
It's coming at them from so many different directions that they have these hour-long shows on CNN and MSNBC. I had a show on Fox. It was an hour. It's really about 42 minutes. And you count the intros and the outs. It's really about 40 minutes. Folks, in 40 minutes, if they've got 40 Donald Trump EOs to talk about, what are you going to do? Give them a minute each? They don't know what to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I will say this, though. They are trying at least to focus right now, as I said to you yesterday on two things, keeping DEI alive and immigration. Yeah, they're spending a lot of time on other things too, but they're trying to focus on immigration. Why? Because folks, once they lose their demographic destiny, generational war,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
to pump the country full of illegal immigrants so that they don't lose population in liberal states, lose the House of Representatives and the Electoral College. They talk about it all the time. We've already played the montage. They know it's over for them. So they are spending a lot of time on it, but they're losing. Folks, Donald Trump has done something absolutely incredible on immigration.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I will never forget being part of an activist group in D.C. Some of you are in there, and you know the group I'm talking about. Group of real ringers, great guys and ladies in there. We would go in and meet in Washington, D.C. After Romney lost, I will never forget some Hill staffer or whatever coming up there and saying we should never talk about immigration again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The Democrats own this argument. It's over. Donald Trump did something absolutely amazing. Donald Trump not only stole the immigration argument from the left, but he stole it and made it an issue we're now up by 22 points on. Goes to show you that even Republican so-called experts sometimes don't have their finger on the pulse like a business guy like Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)

Here's CNN's Harry N. Yes, I said that right. CNN's Harry N having to acknowledge the obvious that Donald Trump did something incredible on immigration and you're witnessing it in live time. They made it a Republican issue instead of a defensive issue. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Folks, it's an opinion show, obviously, the Dan Bongino show. But I'm never going to leave you out there stranded. I'm not going to have you go to your friends and go, hey, Donald Trump took the immigration issue from the Democrats and ran with it. Really? How do you know that? I'm guessing. I'm not guessing. I just cited to you a poll aired by CNN by an actual polling outfit that exists.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
That's real. A scientific poll or whatever. that shows Donald Trump, even if the margin of error is five points, he's still up by 17 on the immigration issue. We took an issue we were always on the defensive with, and Donald Trump made it a Republican asset. He is the first president to do that in our time. Not Reagan, not George H.W., not W., certainly not Gerald Ford, Nixon, no one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
He made it a Republican issue. Folks, the man's got political skills. You don't have to like him. Nobody cares. The numbers matter. My opinion's great. I hope you're here for it. The bottom line is I just backed it up with data showing you even if the margin of error is double, we're still up by 10 points on immigration because of Donald Trump. Folks, Secretary Hegseth's not effing around either.

He got right to work yesterday. The other thing they're trying to prioritize is preserving DEI. Because if merit starts to embed itself in our prior capitalist economy, which Biden tried to destroy, the left's battle plan is finished. Quick break, right back to that. Like I said, Secretary Hanks is going right for it. Hey, what does it feel like?

Why does it feel like losing weight is harder than ever? All the misinformation out there, the fad diets, the magic pills, the quick fix-it injections, they end up doing more harm than good.

You see what happens with Liberation Day? You see what happens when this Bongino Army decides we're going to get something done and not just talk about getting something done? These orders will be executed swiftly and effectively. And I noticed Renegade X-117 and Nero Bastiat. I like that. You both picked up on something. Some of you may have picked up on as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Secretary Hegseth referred to these military facilities by their proper names, Fort Bragg and Fort Benning, because that's what they are. Not their names like, Fort Peace, Love, and Happiness. I'm not even going to mention it. Fort Liberty. That's not the name. That's not the name. It's Fort Bragg. And it's Fort Benning. That wasn't an accident, by the way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Secretary Hegseth is a very, very, very smart guy. That was not an accident. This is the section I'm going to – can we get a little liner for this? Can we put something together? Can we get a so much winning alert thing? Ladies and gentlemen, again, this is the so much winning, like rock them, sock them part of the show again. Started out with it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I can't get over how much winning – there's so much winning happening. People, are you tired of the winning? Are you shitting me? Am I tired of the winning? We are just stage one of FAFO. How many stages are there? I don't know, bro. I don't – cool. This is why Michael's a math major. He's kind of funny sometimes, too. I just asked the question, how dumb? How stupid?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
If the agenda's FAFO, and I'm asking you how many stages of FAFO, Michael's like, did you not pay attention to the find out? You're going to find out. There could be 72 stages of FO. There could be 7,200. I'm not tired. I'm not tired. Keep it coming, man. I am an endless spool of energy. I was sick last week. Don't give a shit. I was on a plane. Did a show from a plane.

Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
We will keep going on this podcast no matter what. So I'm going to give you a little more winning alert. Eric Daughtry, breaking yesterday, U.S. health officials ordered by the Trump administration to stop working with the dreadful communist World Health Organization immediately. Remember the ones who tried to hide the COVID thing? How many times we got to... This guy's a poor guy, man.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Poor Rock. This red guy. And he's like, Dan, can I have a break? You can't. You cannot have a break on this show. I'm sorry. I'm tired of the... I'm not tired. You're not tired of the wedding. I'm not tired of the wedding. Here's another one. Epic Times. Trump signs executive orders restricting transgender troops ending military DEI practices. Glorious. Glorious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Karate Man's easier when your lungs aren't infected with the deadly postulating postulatums that have been from the deadly bioweapon sprayed on all of us at the inauguration. By the way, poor Justin came down with the inauguration. He wasn't even at the inauguration. Guy has some ridiculous X-Men-like Wolverine immune system. Justin says it's only his left nostril. I don't know how that is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
They're all like, it goes all connected up there, but whatever. The winning continues. You want to be out of action for 12 months because you want to cut body parts off? You do you. But you don't get to take up military time and services doing it because there's an opportunity cost there and you're not lethal if you're in the recovery room. Okay? Thank you. Period. Have a nice day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The DEI stuff you heard about from Pete. Here's another just absolute gem. Fox News. Are we tired of the winning? The answer is hell to the no, we're not tired. We are not tired of the winning. Not stopping. DOJ fires more than a dozen key officials on former special counsel, I'd say special tyrant, Jack Smith's team. That's glorious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You thought you had a job, you were going to sit there, weaponize the federal government and get taxpayer dollars? Nah, don't think so, kids. Sorry. Matter of fact, the winning gets even better. I love this guy, by the way. I don't know if you know this guy, Ed Martin. He is the interim United States attorney for Washington, D.C. What did he do?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Imagine how much it paid the Washington Post to write this headline. He launches a probe of the January 6th prosecutions. Talk about flipping the script. You wanna weaponize government? We'll see. Ladies and gentlemen, I guess we will find out, as Michael said, how many stages of this FAFO agenda. Red Rocker, by the way, Donald Trump has side control right now for you Brazilian jiu-jitsu guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Guys, I love to celebrate success because I'm a freaking entrepreneur and I believe in merit and I'm so proud of what we, we, we, we, we put together. Not I, we. I can't do jack shit without you guys. Triton did their 2024 review of the whole podcast space. You'll see Dan Bongino's show finished as the number six podcast of the year. Thank you very much. But forget about me. This isn't about me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
If you see that. Michael, you know side control? Maybe I would do the knee on belly, but the knees don't bend. But he's definitely dominating in side control right now. He's doing the elbow shiver in the neck too, which is really, that really hurts. That's like considered cheap. Here's another one. Hat tip, Maze Moore on this one. Great account to follow on X, M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R-E. Fantastic follow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Got to give shout outs to people, folks. We're not the only ones out there. And a lot of people steal Maze Moore's content. It is not right. I see it on Twitter next all the time. It's their account over there. Should cite it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
But it's just interesting now, all of a sudden, that Ed Martin's going to be looking into the prosecutions and the weaponization of government during January 6th, how the Democrat story is now changing. And there is no better example of a fraud on weaponized government than Adam Schiff. Watch this about 30 seconds and you'll see what I mean. Again, Hat Tip makes more. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
This is why you ignore left-wing and media imbecile commentary on all this stuff. They are frauds, phonies. They have zero credibility. You do exactly what Homan did at the beginning of the show on that interview. You guys are going to deport people for breaking the law? Yeah, it's actually more, more than you think. Actually, even more people. That is how you handle this. Kylo Ren more style.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
We get a lot of play with that on X. People love the Kylo Ren more. They love it. Because Liberation Day has arrived, folks. Rock this shirt everywhere. It'll piss off your liberal friends if you have any left. Do me a favor. How many of you people in the chat, you Bongino Army members out there, how many people go to the gym?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The gym is the best place to wear this because liberals, you won't usually see a lot of liberals in the gym because they're not into work and stuff like that. But... They are allergic to the gym and lifting weights and everything like that, but you will see a few.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The good thing is you'll have a lot of backup because even in liberal cities, like 60% of the crowd will be people at least leaning a little conservative. Liberation Day, it has arrived. Store.bongino.com. What? Oh, yeah, look at that. You can move the chyron up like that? Look at you guys. Nice. This was my idea, by the way. I just want to say, Paula had 90% of the ideas are Paula's.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
She'll probably hate me for saying this. I love her to death. But they're like, you know what? We got to do another show. We got to celebrate the election. But I don't like to just randomly throw shirts out. When Donald Trump said, we're going to declare this Liberation Day, I said, that's it. That's it. All right. QC time's over. I got to talk to you about something serious here, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Justin's like, what? You know, I... Spoke about my weekend update yesterday, which I do on Monday. Some guy got all pissy with me, by the way. Sent me like this Facebook thing, like, Dan, I'm like five minutes in, and you tell us about a weekend. It's the freaking Dan Bongino Show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I spend five minutes on Monday talking about things I think are interesting, and then all week we talk for four hours between radio and podcast about every single political, how many political issues we get to already today? Polling, FAFO, Miller, Holman, Julie Kelly, January 6th, USAID, Pete Hegsa, WHO. We cover the issues. I want you to know who I am. We spend 20 hours a week here together, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
This is about celebrating someone. I've got a good eye for talent, man, and I knew I was right. The number one podcast debut of 2024, drumroll please, is... Bongino Report Early Edition with Evita Duffy. Congratulations, Bongino Army, on making Evita Duffy the biggest launch of 2024 on the Bongino Report. What is it? Rumble.com slash... Bongino Report.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
So if you don't like it, I'm sorry. It's an airport. You don't have to announce your departure. Find a different show where they just read headlines. That's on me, okay? He's a Georgia fan. Right, no, definitely was a Vols fan, definitely. He didn't like the game this week. That's okay. We love our Tennessee crew, but that guy clearly didn't like the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
But I was down in Auburn this weekend, or I live in Florida, but we all know, like, South Florida's not the most southern place on planet Earth. It's northern Florida is, but... Folks, I really love the South and you guys and ladies out there, I just, I'm really envious of everything you're about. Your emphasis on faith, on family, on community, it is complex in its simplicity.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Does that make sense? And I'm not trying to write bullshit poetry or sound overly verbose. It's elegant in its simplicity. I'm really envious of you all. I have a point to this though. It's not just to reminisce about my weekend that I spent in Auburn and how lovely the people were to me and how I just feel like it's become just this adopted home.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
By the way, if you're not considering sending your kid to Auburn University or Alabama or another place like that, then you're making a huge mistake. Auburn is a magical place and your kid should be visiting there. They respect free speech. They love God down there. I give a speech down there. It's not a single protester that shows up. Not one. It's a packed house. Not one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
But whereas this Queens born Yankee can tell you that these media people hate you. They do. And it's really disgusting to watch. They think because you speak with a Southern accent that somehow you're stupid, you're backwards. They do. They don't understand how deep and complex you really are. Let me tell you something. When the shit hits the fan, I want a Southerner with me next to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I don't want one of these media losers. Did you see this clip from Margaret, the new Karen Brennan and J.D. Vance? I didn't play this one yesterday. I want you to listen and watch the disdain in her voice and the look on her face as she talks about people from Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama. She talks about you like you guys need FEMA. You're just too stupid to figure this out on your own.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You doubt me? Watch this yourself. Check it out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You really believe that? that these strong Southern families that have relied on God, community, church, you really believe in an emergency? They're calling up D.C., looking for some obese, overweight D.C. bureaucrat to come down and save them? You sure about that, Margaret? And by the way, this isn't a geography thing. I'm going to be candid with you. It's not about the South.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Because we have people in the Midwest and all over the country. We have people in upstate New York and farms like this. It is not about the South. It's just that the South can be very self-reliant. This is a battle against self-reliance. It has everything to do with the war on the Second Amendment and everything. The left doesn't care about guns. They have their own bodyguards with guns.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
They don't. They pretend to. They don't want you to have a gun because they want you relying on the government for everything, including your protection. The left hates self-reliance because you cannot institute a system of collectivism and communism if people like people in the South and the Midwest are not dependent on the government.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
But I want you to watch these two videos and I want to ask you a very simple question. If an emergency hits the fan, Do you want a FEMA rep showing up? Or do you want, this kid's from Indiana, but it doesn't matter. Or do you want the John Deere kid showing up? You know who this kid is? If you haven't seen, I'll take this kid any day over some monstrosity bureaucrat from Washington, D.C.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You go there, watch every morning, 9 o'clock, Evita Duffy. Thank you for making us the biggest launch out there with Evita. You all are wonderful. Bongino Army, you guys are the best. Okay, getting back to the show. Total Personnel Warfare. Folks. This show is always a week or two weeks or sometimes months ahead of the news cycle. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I love this young man. Young man. God bless you, John Deere kid. I want that kid showing up. I don't want no FEMA person there. You see why in the South and the Midwest they hate you? You think that kid's dependent on a government handout? You think that kid's looking for FEMA when an emergency hits? He's pulling up in his John Deere tractor. How old is that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I don't even know how old that young man is. Nine? Ten? He'll figure it out himself. That's why liberals hate that kid. This is who the liberals want showing up in an emergency. See this picture from last week? They want David Muir, the ABC News guy, with the fire jacket, with the clothes pin, so he looks nice and tailored on TV. That's who they want showing up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I'll take the John Deere kid any day of the week and seven times on Sunday. You want media people and liberals showing up at an emergency? Folks, media people can't even do freaking journalism. And I can't think of a better time to highlight their malfeasance. Because this reporter who called me the other day, he asked me, Dan, you've been doing this now for 10 years.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The podcast was started in 2015, so it's our 10-year anniversary. It actually is in, like, February, I think. We should do a big thing for that. February is our actual 10-year anniversary. He said, what stories resonate the most? Tell me if I'm wrong. I said, you know what my audience loves the most? When we expose you media buffoons. And he laughed. I said, no, I'm not kidding.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
There's no better time than now, the media criticizing you folks in the South, rock stars, God-fearing parents, moms and dads, than to play this little montage. Maybe the media should stay out of emergency planning, government spending and everything else and actually try to do journalism first. Here's the media about their predictions about elections. You can see how right they always are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Because we're not liberal media morons and we just process information. There's nothing special about what we do. We read, we process, we deliver to you in digestible forms. We told you a couple of weeks ago, actually right after the election. That cutesy time was over and that the only way to change the government was going to be to change the people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Look at me. Do it. I will personally write you a campaign check now on behalf of this country which does not want you to be president, but which badly wants you to run.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Just a suggestion to the media folks out there. If you don't want to be a laughingstock, then stop making yourself a laughingstock. I saw the hapless Chris Silliza today put out on Twitter that he can't believe he was so misled and that Donald Trump was right about the lab leak and Fauci was wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Chris Silliza, the same guy who in the infamous Washington Post headline with Aaron Blake from back in 2016 during the election, wrote Donald Trump's chances of winning are approaching zero. Why is the Dan Bongino show the number one live stream in America pretty much every day? Ladies and gentlemen, the formula is not complicated. Keep people entertained. Keep them educated on the issues.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Keep the information flowing. And don't bullshit them. It's really not hard. Why are people tuning out of the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, Chris Silliza, MSNBC, and others? Because they're tired of your bullshit. You can't lie to all the people all the time. Want to see another story we're out ahead of? We've been out ahead of for years.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
When I say we, I mean the entire Republican movement, not specifically me. The whole climate change thing. There's a great article by Barton Swain in the Wall Street Journal. Why climate change ideology is dying. Folks, it's pretty simple. Just like I told you, why do people tune into the Dan Bongino Show? Because we tell you the truth. Why is climate ideology dying?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Because no one actually believes it. He notes, why aren't the moguls and executives who claim to be unnerved by climate science giving up their carbon-heavy lifestyles and living in caves or living in simpler dwellings and mansions?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
If these progressive VIPs in media, politics, and entertainment believe sea levels are ready to rise, why do they keep buying properties in Martha's Vineyard, Bar Harbor, Provincetown, Santa Monica, and Malibu? Because they don't believe any of this shit. That's why. Folks, they're lying to you. And it's up to us to expose them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Now, the media guy who asked me a question about what stories resonate with my audience, and I told him largely stories about how awful the media are, I think he was a little confused as to why. And one of the reasons is I don't think they're used to being held to their own standard.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
We can change the policy later, but we already have a constitutional framework to operate on. It just takes people that respect it. So I said, we've got to get rid of everyone. As you can see by this tweet by the great Julie Kelly, Politico, I'm putting up her tweet to give her some recognition rather than Politico because I can't stand them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
So the fact that I take Alinsky's rules, notably Alinsky rule number four, and I make the media live up to its own standards, if you're going to call us out for misinformation and disinformation when we're right, we're going to call you out and hold you to that standard when you're not right, which is often. What's Saul Alinsky's rule number four? Suggest you memorize it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. The rule is every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this. No one can possibly obey all of their own rules. Media people want to talk about climate change. We're going to lose our coastline. Why do you live there? Because you really don't believe it. Media wants to talk about misinformation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Why do you keep bullshitting people? We'd like to know. Make them live up to their own rules because they can't and they won't. Man, what a show. We got 154,000 today. Thank you. Thank you, Anita, for putting it up in the chat. You know, we do the radio show here on Rumble the first two hours. Some folks have asked me, how do you get the third hour? You become a subscriber.

The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
That's all that matters. If you don't understand that government isn't policy. Yes, it is. We live in a constitutional republic. You really believe that? A constitutional republic is a suggestion if people don't enforce it. Right? People are policy. You get constitutionalists and conservatives in there, you got a constitutional republic.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You'll be getting the three hours of the radio show out there. And also you will be getting at least the Rumble programmatic ads. You won't get them in the show.

The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
But Politico is reporting that, quote, fear is gripping the Department of Justice. as Trump's new appointees waste no time purging the agency of rotten apples, quote, firing at least a dozen who worked on two criminal cases against him. Ladies and gentlemen, if there was ever, you know what's coming? What's coming? Does anybody know?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You ever see the Bruce Lee movies where after he kicks your ass and he punches you, he stops and flexes the biceps in a pose and he makes the face. You ever see that? You know what I'm talking about, right? He bought me Karate Man. Apparently Karate Man is a Yu-Gi-Oh thing too. If there was ever a Karate Man, it's here. Folks, listen, Langer, Trump ain't fucking around.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I don't know when you in the media and you clowns on the left and you, oh, look at him, Karate Man, Karate Man, blowing up the chat again with Karate Man. Of course, a couple people put a couple of Rock'em Sock'ems in there too. That's appropriate too. Rock'em Sock'ems, we have the Donald Trump Rock'em Sock'em because I broke the actual thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
We have liberal screaming Karen or Margaret Rock'em Sock'em. These things don't break, man. Damn it. The ring broke. But these suckers are robust, man. The Rock'em Sock'ems. Yes. This is how we fix this place. You are not going to fix shit if we do what we did in 2016, where we change a bunch of policies and laws and then get a bunch of people in there who want to slow walk everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
We're not going to change shit. Trump is not fucking around, man. People are getting let go left and right, and media folks and libs, get ready. We are in stage one of the FAFO agenda, and you're just FOing now. There is a lot more FOing that's going to happen. The FOing hasn't stopped. It's not going to stop.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The Trump administration is starting to realize rock-em-sock-em robots is the only way to go. Did you get a bell in there too? Is that like when Vince McMahon with the pin for Bret Hart, he's like calling the match. They feel bad for blue Rock'em Sock'em Robots lady. Margaret, she is. Margaret. Sorry, Margaret. You got to start getting rid of people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Okay, folks, on a serious note, I've tried to explain this before, but some people aren't understanding this. Donald Trump can issue all the EOs he wants.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The left fully understands and learned after 2016 that if you can get people inside the government to read the Donald Trump EO and just pepper their bosses with an endless list of questions about it, it's an Alinsky tactic of stalling and delaying. Nothing is going to happen. There ultimately has to be people on the ground who will implement said policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Let me just give you an example from just my direct experience because it's what I can speak to directly. Say the Secret Service changes a policy on where people can protest. If you're the site agent on the ground and you spend six weeks asking questions, well, what about outside the bike rack, inside the bike rack, in the event outside?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
They're actually not going to change anything about the protest zone rule because you're not done peppering them with questions. You've got to get rid of people. Here's another one. Susan Crabtree. Exclusive and breaking. Trump administration cleans house at USAID for failing to follow Trump's executive orders. Yes! Yes! People's elbow. Give Justin a shout out. This is how it goes down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You get Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and the commies in there, you have a suggestion of a constitutional republic. Sorry. Total personnel warfare. Everybody has to go. If you were involved in the tyranny of the last four disgusting years of Biden or the prior aid of Obama, you got to go if you said nothing. Very sorry, Jack. Or Margaret or Karen or whatever your name is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Trump issued an executive order and he suspected, according to Susan, that people are conspiring to circumvent his EO on halting federal funds to oversee programs and DEI initiatives. Okay. They chose to what? They chose to fuck around. And Donald Trump had them find out. We're not asking. Listen, guys, I don't know what's going to happen in the midterms.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
I don't know what's going to happen in four years. I'm not some Eckhart Tolle guy. However, the now is all that matters. The only power is in now, right? We live in the now. The present is just time flushing over us. We're always living in the present. And right now we're in charge. So right now we've got to do shit. And this is how shit gets done.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You want to keep messing around, you're going to find out because Liberation Day is here. And this is what it feels like. I want to give you a quick update, too, on a very important case because Donald Trump and his team, I know, are demanding answers about this. And this is another reason we cannot let up on Kash Patel.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
The exact same heat you applied to get Pete Hegseth to be Secretary Hegseth, you have got to get for Kash Patel to be FBI Director Patel. You're never going to get answers about who the January 6th pipe bomber was and the full identity and the full story about what of an inside job this was. If we do not get cash in, here's Julie again at Julie underscore Kelly, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
You should follow her on X Exclusive. New House of Reps report into unsolved J6 pipe bomb reveals a once vigorous FBI investigation stopped in early 2021, despite initially devoting massive resources into finding the suspect. Now, now, listen to this. Listen to this, Bongino Army. Are we right or are we right? Now agencies are refusing to cooperate with the House inquiry.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Has Begun His Total Personnel Warfare (Ep. 2410)
Folks in the chat, tell me what happened, please. You already know the answer. Why was it a vigorous investigation early on? Because they did not know, not everyone investigating it knew it was an inside job. I'm telling you, I have a federal agent who was there. I have photos to prove it.

You ever wonder why Bill Clinton, obviously a Democrat, left office at close to 60% approval? Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Clinton, there was actual biological evidence of him committing sex acts in the Oval Office. It's funny, but Bill Clinton, didn't he lose his law license? I mean, Bill Clinton is on video. You can play right now. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. And then what?
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
A year later, well, you know, had sexual. I'm sorry. Bill Clinton left office, look it up, with high 50s, low 60% approval. Do you have any idea how high that is? In a country that's basically 50-50? Meaning a lot of Republicans liked what Bill Clinton did, a good chunk of them, and a whole ton of Democrats did. How is that?

Folks, this guy engaged in a sex act with an intern and lied about it under oath in the Oval Office, and he left office with 60% approval. Why? Why? Well. I'm going to attribute this to Bill Clinton's efforts. Let's be clear. Let's be absolutely clear so there's no misinterpretation. Bill Clinton was a Democrat and will always spend like a Democrat.

Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress pushed him into some spending controls. But to be fair to history, Bill Clinton signed the budgets and it happened. We're not going to lie about stuff like the Democrats. The Democrats used to celebrate the mythical Clinton surplus, too. Here is a Democrat congressman from Colorado, Michael Bennett.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I say the mythical Clinton surplus because you've heard it a thousand times, right, that Bill Clinton ran a government surplus. I'll get to that in a second. But Democrats used to realize that people don't want governments going into piles of red ink. These are quick. Colorado Democrat, again, celebrating the Clinton surplus. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Okay, he didn't leave behind a surplus, but you see what I'm trying to get at here? The Democrats are not stupid. They fully understand that the very rational, reasonable, educated American voter is not interested in endless piles of government red ink, so much so that that Democrat, Michael Bennett, is celebrating that Bill Clinton ran this mythical surplus.

Okay, there was no Clinton surplus. So I'm going to make two points for you. It seemed contradictory here, but they aren't. The first one, a Democrat, Bill Clinton, left office with unbelievable approval ratings despite a multitude of scandals. I'm telling you because of his efforts to trim government, which led to a pretty decent growth rate while he was in office. Point number one.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
In other words, if Donald Trump does the same thing, we can steal some of those Democrat voters and carry that over, hopefully into a Don Trump Jr., Eric Trump, or J.D. Vance presidency next. We can steal so many Democrat voters on this spending issue. I know it sounds crazy, but they used to run on this. And the second point I'm going to make is, is the Clinton surplus is a myth.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
And I don't want you to fall for it. Yes, government spending was much lower, no doubt about it. Newt Gingrich and Clinton did a decent job on that. There was never a surplus. I'm going to prove it to you coming up next because there's not a single topic out there that ticks me off more than people who make up the Clinton surplus. There's no such thing if you actually understand how numbers work.
The Dan Bongino Show

This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
The article's from almost 20 years ago. It's by this guy, Craig Steiner, but it is worth your time. There was no Clinton surplus. You can read the whole article, but you don't need to. All you need to do is look at this data from the government itself. You will notice every single year of the Clinton presidency from 93 to 2000 that the government ran a deficit.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
$281 billion, $281 billion, $250 billion, $188 billion, $113 billion, $130 billion, $17.9 billion. So if that's every single year of the Bill Clinton presidency, excuse me. So if the government ran a deficit every year, a deficit means they didn't have enough money, which is the opposite of a surplus. Is anything I'm saying confusing to the libs?

This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
They got close in 2000 where they only ran a basically $18 billion deficit. There was never a surplus. So, Dan, why do they keep talking about a surplus? Because of Social Security and Medicare funds that were basically stolen. Read the article. There was never a surplus. If there was a surplus, the freaking deficit would have gone down and would have been a surplus.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
No year of the Clinton presidency was there a surplus. There was a deficit every single time. They were small. Good for them. It's not real. Don't fall for it. Don't be a sucker. Read this guy's article. However, they did do a decent job. 2000, they did almost balance the budget, which is insane. That's pretty good. We get back there.

That's why you never relinquish power. You relinquish power. I hear this all the time from conservatives. Maybe we lead to lose an election badly and people wake up. Maybe not. That is a really, really dumb idea. But you never relinquish power. Because power, you get paid to enact the power you've been constitutionally delegated with. The left doesn't get paid to do that.

They are wasting a ton of money and time on lawsuits. Not only are they wasting a ton of money and time, factor number two is they are going to lose a lot of these lawsuits and there's going to be legal precedent. Well, there already is. It's called the Constitution. But in our broken court system, it's going to be reestablished. Here's what I mean. This was outnumbered yesterday.

During the show, during the show, another big L for the left on the Doge. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Folks, I told you, don't freak out over the lawsuits. I wish we did not have a weaponized judicial system where left-wing groups and NGOs work with liberal judges and forums shop to attack us using a judicial branch acting as a legislative and executive branch. I wish that weren't the case. But that's not the world we live in, ladies and gentlemen. I live in the realpolitik world.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
The world we live in, systems break all the time. We fix them by keeping Republicans in power and nominating judges that actually do judicial work and follow their Article III responsibilities. That's how we win. I'm a game plan guy. I'm a spreadsheets guy. I want a freaking game plan. I don't want to hear about emotions all the time. Oh, this sucks. I know it sucks. A lot of things suck.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
You saw yesterday what happened. The likelihood is low, but the effect on everyone is so dramatic, not just the people who died and are in it, but everyone else freaks out about the air business too. That's the externality. These black swan, we'll call them Z events, are so devastating, they can change America and the world.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
How do we fix it? Sucks you make an error at shortstop and throw the ball away. You still got to feel the next ground ball and get the guy out. I'm glad we've been ahead of this stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
All of us, and you guys are starting to sense it too, that the left is really imploding here to the point where their own political analysts, guys like Carville, are starting to warn them, this is not working out as intended. We have to stay focused, though.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
And another thing we spoke about over the last few weeks is don't get sucked into this social media vortex of overreacting to everything Donald Trump does because you're going to find yourself getting kicked in the jimmy a lot. Because not everything Donald Trump does... is supposed to be taken at its face.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I don't want to say that don't take them seriously, don't take them literally, because sometimes you should. But it's more the crazy man theory of politics, that nobody knows what Donald Trump is going to do. And that's actually a tactical benefit. Here's what I mean. The Trump doctrine is starting to make sense now.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
The Trump doctrine is this, especially on foreign policy, although it applies domestically too, but this is a foreign policy segment. It's important. This involves NATO, so pay attention. This is super important. Take a maximalist position, a position you know you're not going to get. Make Canada the 51st state. You know, we need to annex Greenland. Take a maximalist position of 100.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Sorry if you've heard this before, but it's important. No one else has even taken a zero position in the past, but they're willing to accept the 10 position. The 10 position is an enhanced military. Let's use Greenland. Maybe we need to enhance our military cooperation with Greenland and our ISR surveillance capabilities on Greenland. That's maybe a 10. Donald Trump goes to 100.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Let's annex Greenland. Make it the 51st state or U.S. territory. Donald Trump likely has 10 on his mind anyway, not 100. But he knows if he says 10, it's largely going to be ignored. So he takes a maximalist position and it looks like he's a dealmaker if he gets 10 and he looks like he was willing to cooperate. And look, he dialed it down. It's a genius thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I'd sum this up better by the Donald Trump doctrine is in foreign policy, fix it or daddy's going to fix it for you. Middle East, Gaza, Greenland, fix it or big daddy's coming in. That's kind of the Trump doctrine. You getting it? It happened again. We called it. He did the exact same thing with NATO. NATO's been, folks, let's be candid. They're screwing around.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
NATO is not doing what they should be doing. They keep talking about the Russia threat in Ukraine, which is obviously real. The Ukrainians are living it every day. But the Russian-Ukrainian issue is a continental issue across an ocean from us. Not that we're not interested or it doesn't involve us. It does. But it's right in their backyard.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Folks, this drone threat, I hate to lose sleep at night stuff, but I'm telling you, if I ever lost sleep about anything, it's about this. This is a very real threat in population centers in America and around the world. I'm focused on America now.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
And NATO is already flip-flopping some of the NATO countries, Germany included, on military spending. So Donald Trump comes out and says, okay, we're going to negotiate with the Russians on a peace deal. And by the way, Europe, you're not even at the table. So what happened? Here is the NATO chief, what is it, Michael Root, on Martha McCallum's show yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
You would think he would come out, right? If you're one of the suckers who don't understand the Trump doctrine, you would, what's that? Mark Root. Excuse me. You would think he would come out and say, double middle finger to Donald Trump. How dare you condemn us like that? That's not exactly what happened. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Can you guys screenshot the Chiron from that? NATO, in case you're listening on Apple or Spotify and missing the visuals, this was on obviously Fox. It's Martha McCallum. NATO allies agree to bump up spending. How many times are these left-wing media lunatics going to fall in this trap with the Trump doctrine? Fix it or Big Daddy's going to fix it for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Either you guys start protecting your own continent, regional geographic area, and we'll support you in that effort in a satellite or secondary role. We're not going to put our own troops on the ground. But we're not doing anything until you clean up the free speech situation. There it is. NATO allies agree to step up in defense. And you actually support your own military.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Liberal lunatics who hate Trump out there, can you please explain to me what he said there, Donald Trump, that was in any way out of line? And tell me what, you disagree with the response? You don't want NATO to spend more? Folks, we've fallen into this rut of politics, and I've seen it a thousand times. Republicans and Democrats both do it. Where the left-wing media obviously has an agenda.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I want to beat the media up to death after this segment because I've got a lot more to get to here, but A Republican in the past takes a position. We need to fix Social Security. It's broken. They know what they're saying is true. The media responds and the left responds with some ad of grandma getting rolled off the cliff.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
And the Republicans, even though they knew it was going to happen, back down anyway, instead of going out and doing the responsible thing and making the case to the American public. Donald Trump, I told you, I supported him precisely because he was in his second term. A lot of people hit me, a lot of people who supported Nikki Haley and others. Dan, he's going to be a lame duck.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Times Square, Beverly Hills, areas where they're a big, you know, Chicago, the Miracle Mile, all these places where you're going to get a ton of media attention. I bring it up because Axios, you know, which isn't my favorite outlet, obviously left-leaning, but they're not wrong with their, this is headline their morning email this morning. America's drone swarm crisis. Yes, 100%.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
This is a lame duck? If this is a lame duck, give me more lame duckery. He's not a lame duck at all. He's a guy who is run out of Fs to give. He doesn't care what the media says. He is engaging in maximalist Trump doctrine, politicking, and it's working. Fix it now or Big Daddy's coming in to fix it for you and you ain't going to like it. And shocker, NATO agrees to spend more money.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Folks, this has caused a total meltdown by these idiots on the other side. They don't know what to do. The endless litany of fake news, misinformation and disinformation has them grasping just seconds after a tragedy for talking points so hysterically stupid. You wonder how these people like Margaret Brennan and others are seriously kept on the air. It happened again yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
It was a really awful plane crash up in Toronto, which was awful no matter where it happens, of course. But for the lefties listening, that is not in the United States. I'm not sure that where they thought because they had a baseball team, the Blue Jays, it was in the United States. It is not. Michael checked. Yes, he's correct. It is in Canada. That is not the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Donald Trump may make it there, want to make it there, but it is not right now. It is still a separate country. It is not an FAA country that, well, they may follow it. You get the point. The Federal Aviation Administration is a U.S. entity. So plane crashes, within minutes of this thing happening, media people start to go nuts.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Here is NBC's Tom Costello really demanding why, I should say, showing you why however much you can't stand the media, it's not enough. He manages to blame the United States and Donald Trump. It's insane. This is what they've resorted to. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Folks, Canada doesn't have is a US government enterprise. Canada is not in the United States. The great irony of this as big government bureaucrats have been fighting FAA reform the entire time. The Canadians use a better system with buy-in from the airlines where it's a participator paid for enterprise. And they still had an accident that was likely weather related, maybe pilot error.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
We don't know. I don't care to speculate the Bongino rules in effect. Do you understand how these people like the Brandys, the Drozdny's and others, they're engaging in fugazi like insanity and they're just burning whatever shred of credibility they had left. Here's Caroline Levin, our excellent press secretary, just dismantling this Tara cop. Tara Cobb, FAA News.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
FAA staff fired over the weekend, including personnel that worked radar, landing, and navigational aid maintenance. Hundreds were fired just weeks after a midair collision. One employee even said they were harassed on Facebook by the Doge. You were? That's interesting. Caroline Leavitt notes, more fake news from the AP. Doge doesn't even have a Facebook account.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
They note, ask U.S. intelligence experts their biggest fears about And you'll inevitably hear dire warnings of drone swarms. We've been talking about this how long? Domestic or foreign targeting American soil. Probe deeper and you'll learn the vast majority of these drones are made by China and therefore conceivably controllable by America's greatest adversary.

She doesn't even have a Facebook page. No average traffic controllers, nor any professionals who perform safety or critical functions were terminated. Listen to me, Tim Kaine, Brandi Zadrozny, Tara Copp, others, whoever they are. Folks, this is not going to stop. You are the media now. It is up to you to be the little Paul and Paulette Revere's for Caroline Leavitt in the White House.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
She can't do it all herself. You guys have significant followings on Twitter. If you have a thousand followers, 500 followers, folks, that is a lot of people. You have any idea how hard it is to get 500 people in a room? My gosh, I mean, when I first started doing book signings 10 years ago, you got 100 people was a big deal. 500 people is a lot of people. You need to be the news now.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
You are the news. You need to combat crazy stuff. And, of course, in honor of the legend, for all the wrong reasons, Frank Fugazi, of course, Fugazi had to get in the mix as well. What is this? Is this a video? This is a Gi special, folks. I just want to throw this in there. These guys, him and Jim and the team, they did not want to exit today without us pushing.
The Dan Bongino Show

I haven't seen this without us pushing a Fegazi. So let me see what he's got. This is going to be a live reaction.

This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Again, folks, whenever you think you've hit the ceiling of potential insanity on the level of the Fegazis blowing up, you guys crack me up on the chat, folks. Listen, it is, I think you guys just like melt that thing. My gosh. This is what you're going to get forward. I have a real plea for you, and I need you guys to digest all this, take it in, and rock and roll with this, okay?

They know TikTok's accused of being a security threat, but at least they can't spy or drop bombs. I'm not a huge fan of Axios, but Mike Allen, who put this, is absolutely spot on. Folks, this is an enormous threat. Let me see. Folks in the chat, why? Why take a drink of water? Anyone know why I've said it a thousand times? Why are drones such a unique threat? Let's see who gets it first.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I love you guys in the chat, by the way. Drone Swarm. Axios, not wrong for one, says MCS. Who says it here? Come on. Yes. Matthias Powerbomb again. The guy, man, you got some quick thumbs there because people can't fly, folks. This is not a complicated security threat to figure out. You get a special ops team on the ground and you sense a target in the wood line. You can clear the target.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
But I see this clip of me rolling around on X. I think Maga Voice put it out there. Great account to follow on X. Asking this simple question. How the hell do these politicians get so rich? I'm serious. You all know some super talented people, correct? Yet, most of us don't know a lot of rich people unless you're running in that circle.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
You can have a sniper engage the target. What the hell are you going to do with a drone? You need some way to target it in the air. Well, we can just shoot it down. You better hit it because bullets have this really funny way of obeying the laws of gravity and coming back down. This is a really difficult threat. I have been focused on like a laser on this, written books about this stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
The drone threat is really scary. And if they're going to hit us, they're going to hit us in a population center. And we've got to be doing everything we can to mitigate as much as we can from this threat. I just throw that out there because, again, even left wingers are focused on it. Now, let me get back to what I opened up the show with today.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Folks, how are politicians getting so freaking rich? You know, again, I wrote a book on it. Follow the money. I keep it on my desk because it always reminds me to follow the money. When you follow these money trails, there is a reason the left loves NGOs and non-governmental organizations and lobbyists.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
They love them because they can go and work there with these groups later on when they leave Congress or the Senate and make a lot of money. Or these people can flush a lot of money into their campaigns. They can flush a lot of money into their family members. This is what happened with the whole Ukraine thing. with Biden when he was vice president. These politicians are mediocrities at best.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
There's a reason they're in politics. The reason they're, not all of them, but the reason many of them are in politics is they can't do anything else. So if they can't do anything else, how the hell are they making so much money? They are making it through government and, and, and government connections. I say that because I'm getting bombarded with questions from people.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Maybe they're not listening to every show every day, which I understand you have your own thing going on. But the gist of the question is this, and I wrote it down because I didn't want to lose my thought in the beginning of the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Can you imagine being so out of touch with actual voters as a political party that you're against fighting against fraudulent, wasteful, even potentially criminal government spending fraud? Even Jim Carville, the Ragin' Cajun, a Democrat operative. Did you hear him this morning? I should get the cut. But Carville said on Ari Melber's show on MSNBC about fighting against the Doge.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
What's the line he said? Don't just sit there. Do nothing. Sounds like it's contradictory. He's telling them, stand down on the doge, Democrats. You look like assholes. You guys are fighting against what 50 to 60 percent of Americans see as a necessary kind of trimming of the government tree. Do you understand how out of touch they are? The reason they're out of touch is it's intentional.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
They're going to go broke. Follow the money. Their choices are go broke, which they don't want to do, or stand up for fighting government abuse. They don't want to do it. They're not going to go broke or stand down. And they're going to stand down and they're going to fight this thing. Here's what I mean.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Here's Stephen Miller, a senior advisor, one of the chiefs of staff in the Donald Trump White House, a really good guy. Here is Stephen Miller on a Fox hit yesterday. I got two Stephen Miller cuts, one later on, but this one's important. They discovered a foreign fraud ring in our entitlement programs. Folks, even if you are... Not against government waste.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
And you love government waste, I should say. Not to use a negative there to describe it. If you're for government waste, at least waste it here. Right? If you're going to waste government money and piss it away in a toilet bowl, at least waste it on U.S. citizens. Nope. Nobody cares on the left. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I mean, you got your doctors, your dentists, your lawyers, professional services, but we don't typically know a lot of one percenters. How the hell did such mediocre people all get rich? It is all tied to this Doge story.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Can you imagine fighting this? Folks, again, if you're a delusional liberal watching my show and you're not interested in government fraud because you're afraid it's going to wrap up and dry up your gravy train. How is it that you're, wouldn't you at least agree like if we're going to waste the money, at least waste it here? At least if it's fraudulently spent, it's spent in the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I don't want any fraud or criminality. I think that's fairly obvious. I think you sense my sarcasm, correct? However, foreign fraud, foreign fraud rates. So if you are a huge supporter of Social Security and Medicare, I believe these programs that bankrupt themselves need to be reformed. We do have to protect our seniors. I get all of that.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
But still, how do you make the argument to America's seniors? You paid into a system. The system is going broke. Its own actuaries have told you that. It's going to be effectively out of IOUs in about 10 to 14, 15 years, right? You paid into it, and you're not going to get your money because people who didn't pay into it, fraudsters overseas have stolen it? How are you?
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
You really believe this is a political winner? The answer is it's a freaking gravy train for them. They don't care. This will be the end of the Democrat Party, as you know it, if they don't back off this. But they won't because they'll go broke. Carville's been around forever. Carville's been, he's warning them. This is a loser. I'm not even a fan of Carville. That's fine.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Folks, they are getting rich off of their connections and their ability to use this base of four or five trillion dollars of your taxes to have it flush through people, family members and everyone else, the Hunter Bidens of the world that are making them rich. Follow the money. Follow the money. That is why they are freaking out about the Doge thing. This is a massive, massive story.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Put up the Kyle Becker tweet, too. Here's another one. How are you against this? Even if you're a liberal lunatic, how are you against this? Kyle Becker, shock. The U.S. Army's diverted over $151 million meant for soldiers' food, according to Military Times. What? There's apparently some food shortages on these bases. And there's some... I mean...
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
How crazy do you have to be to not want to fix that? You've got soldiers who are making no money, sacrificing their swearing to give their lives for you so we can sit around. Look at all these at Fort Stewart, Fort Drum, Fort Carson, all this money. Look at the $22 million collected, $5 million spent on food in Fort Carson. Where the hell is the money going? How are you against this?
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
I didn't even know there was a part two to that. Sorry, I said it wrong. You know, I say it often to our law enforcement, our military people, this one directed at our military. We love you guys. Everybody give a salute to our military in the chat. You know, the salute, you guys and ladies signed up to risk your actual lives, not hyperbolically, your actual lives are at risk. And you do it.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
And we can't even feed you properly? and we don't know where the money is, if you're defending this, man, you should have listened to Carville. Oh, you haven't? Oh, cool. Here, this guy's a Democrat telling the other Democrats, hey, man, you better chill on this doge. Thank you. Look at that. Look at that. American flags in the chat. Amen, brothers and sisters.

God bless America and all those who defend her. Here's Carville warning the Dems. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
Listen, I'm not a huge fan of Carville, obviously. But I like to understand the left. They don't want to understand us. That gives us an asymmetrical advantage in this political tactical warfare game. They don't understand us, but we understand them. Don't just stand there, do nothing. But they can't. You know, I saw, I was watching, I like to watch The Five and Gutfeld's always great on the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
And Gutfeld feels the same way I do. Hey, we're not giving the Democrats advice. They're not taking it anyway. I'm just trying to explain to you so we have an information advantage over them why they're doing what they're doing. Because if you follow the money, they're getting rich off it.
The Dan Bongino Show
This Is What Winning In Politics Looks Like (Ep. 2425)
It's not a one day story. It's not a one month story. This is like a four year story. I got that and a huge, huge security threat. I cannot bring up enough to you. Please listen to me. I am laser focused on this thing. This is my biggest security concern. Haven't been in this space for a long time. And a lot of people are worried about it. I'm not the only one.

They would rather forfeit their political careers than lose their gravy train, which has been taxpayer dollars because they have no real skills, folks. They can't actually do anything else. This is what a loser this is for them. Here he is again, Harry Enten on CNN, their pollster. We use him often because I don't want to be accused of political bias, right?

You know, here's where I get this Bongino rule from. So you don't think I just, like, pulled this thing out of my caboose somewhere and made it up. I will never forget being a street cop in New York, especially when you're on a footpost. Because when you're on a footpost, you're out there.

Nobody seems to... Bad guys don't... See, the thing about bad guys is bad guys don't... They're outlaws for a reason. They don't give a shit about the laws. Folks... The Stuart Thompson guy from the New York Times who's going to become a constant theme in the show. This is what I'm talking about. By these people come in with a pre-existing...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
rubric in their head about what a story's about before they know shit about the actual story. Stuart Thompson and others, school shooting. Wait, was it a white person? Was it a male? Was it a non-transgender person? The story's about the gun. That's it. It doesn't matter what happened in the event. All of that stuff is irrelevant to them. Healthcare CEO, evil, shot in the back.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Do we make the story about the gun? No, I think there's a better story for us. We hate free market healthcare. We want the government in control. Let's talk about that instead of the gun. Yeah, but the other story's about the gun. Hey, Joe Biden just pardoned his kid for a gun crime. That's okay, he's a Democrat. This isn't a gun control story now. Here, you doubt me? Here's Bernie Sanders.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Bernie Sanders would probably do anything to take your guns. Far left, communist radical. Commies love taking people's guns. Guns are what keep commies from taking over. So commies hate guns because the gun is in the way. Here's Bernie Sanders on one of the weekend shows talking about the UnitedHealthcare CEO shot in the back by a guy in a liberal gun control city.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You think you'd have this great opportunity, right, for your silly, stupid gun control narrative? Nope. Here's Bernie seeming to put the little button there, like, guy was shot in the back and murdered, but, but? What do you mean, but? Guy was murdered in the street. Watch how they tell you a story, never the story. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Also, don't believe anything coming from the government right now about this drone story either. Not going to spend a ton of time on that. You get the point. But there's an update from Trump yesterday at the presser. What you do online is not private. Data brokers are tracking and creating a profile of your online activities, your spending habits, even your values and beliefs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Folks, there isn't a show out there that dissects the scumbags in the media better than this. It's the reason we're the number one live stream. It's just a fact. And the Bongino Army is growing by the day. When you learn to see, when you learn to dissect the entire media ecosystem and the fourth estate environment out there, you will never see the world the same way again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
My goal with this show, so you know it's always been this way, was to give you an hour so you could listen to it in a car on a commute home, right? Was to, in that hour, make sure that you are, your eyes are open all the time, that you are awake but not woke, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Because once you learn to see the media for what it is and to see through the bullshit, I promise you, you will never see the world the same way again. You will notice this everywhere. The media doesn't care about guns. They care about control. Now do you get the tie-in from the two stories? They need to control you. What's the best way to do it? To control your healthcare.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
The UnitedHealthcare CEO is in the way. So if he's murdered, we go, he's murdered, but... Don't make it about the gun, make it about that. Now, they see a school shooting in Madison. They know emotions are still hot. They can get people to hate firearms, even though there's millions upon millions of legal law-abiding gun owners in the country. Guns don't go off by themselves.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
They're like, hey, it's an opportunity to get the gun out of the way so people have to rely on the government. It is always about control. Once you learn to see that, you will never, ever unsee it. I want to show you a video coming up next. Of this guy when Obamacare was passed. Obamacare. That has screwed up the used to be free market healthcare system. They broke the system completely.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Guy gets murdered because of it. And yet they all walk away. They all walk away. Bernie Sanders and others. Pretending they had nothing to do with this. Oh, he deserved to die. Watch.

Folks, I got to tell you, I don't mean to interrupt my own show, but I'm really enjoying the show today, even though it's a really hard, tragic topic to talk about. I don't know why I felt the need to tell you that. Maybe I really, I came into today's show. Some shows I'm more excited than others. because this is such an obvious example, these two contrasted stories of murder.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
They both involve murder, school shooting, healthcare CEO shooting. The end game is the same. An innocent person was killed, yet the scumbags in the media are telling you two completely different stories, both of which they have a role in by creating this left-wing cult, and yet they've divorced themselves from anything. In one case, it's the gun. The other thing, it's evil corporations.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
They never mention with this young woman, they'll never mention their role in the destruction of our culture, the church, family that serve as a bedrock. And in the healthcare case, they will never mention to you that the reason the healthcare system sucks, and folks, believe me, I'm in it too, the healthcare system in the United States is broken, is because the leftists broke it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Upwards of 40% of healthcare in the United States has government fingerprints all over it. That's why the process sucks. Now, let me give you a little primer here on why everybody hates healthcare right now. What Obamacare did, folks, everybody paying attention, write this down. It instituted two practices that will never work because they can't work, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
And I'm going to play you this video of this guy Gruber. He was one of the economists that helped design Obamacare, talking about how they screwed you over because they think you're stupid. I don't know if you saw this video when it came out. You may have, but it's worth replaying. Obamacare instituted community rating and guaranteed issue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Community rating means very simply, everybody's basically going to get charged the same thing. Guaranteed issue means they have to guarantee you a healthcare policy. Oh, Dan, that sounds great. No, it doesn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Folks, if there is a guy who rides a motorcycle every single day, smokes cigarettes, and drinks a gallon of tequila seven days a week, he should not be paying the same healthcare premium as you if you're eating your vegetables, working out, doing the sauna, doing your cardio, getting eight hours of sleep a night. I'm sorry. The world is a tough place. Liberals, get off your mother and...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Live in the real world, you dumbasses. What's happening right now is a bunch of really young, not very wealthy 20-year-olds are paying premiums the same as a 50-year-old guy like me who had cancer with osteoarthritis who is making money. Why the hell is my 20-year-old daughter paying the same premium as me? That's what, go look it up if you think I'm lying to you.

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Community rating and guaranteed issue. And they use these complicated words to you at the drive-thru, Leo Getz style. So all you young kids out there who voted for Obamacare, celebrating this UnitedHealthcare CEO that got shot in the back, understand, Obamacare's making you pay for a bunch of rich middle-aged people like me. That's a freaking fact, Jack. Look it up. That's a fact.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You want to know who effed you at the drive-thru? Obama and the Democrats. Look it up. So because these healthcare companies now and these health insurance companies have to charge everybody the same thing, no matter how healthy or whatever life decisions, what happens? They have to start buying other practices because they have to control the costs or they're going to go out of business.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
And that's why you are getting F'd. Period. No. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. Do your homework. Community rating guaranteed issue. Go look it up. Here's one of the architects of Obamacare, this economist, real smart-ass. By the way, you want to see a stupid, smart person? This is the guy. You know my lecture about stupid, smart people and how dangerous they are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Here he is talking about how they passed off the mandate, which was a tax, forcing you to buy something. Here's how they passed it, and they confused you because you're all too stupid to do your homework. It ain't me saying it. This is the Obamacare, one of the architects saying it. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You know the stupid smart assholes? This guy's one of them. I will never stop playing this. That video's, by the way, 10 years old.

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
They didn't tell you if you're 18 or 20 that you're subsidizing your rich parents' health care plan. They didn't tell you that. You didn't know that, did you? If you're 20 years old going, holy shit, health care is expensive. It shouldn't be. You're 20. You have cancer, hepatitis, AIDS. No, none of that. So what the fuck are you paying for? What are you going to go for? The flu one year?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
It costs $200 to see the doctor. Why are you paying $5,000 a year? The answer is because you're paying for your mom and dad who already have money. You're paying for their stuff. And then when the healthcare guy gets shot dead in the middle of the street because they have to comply with this bullshit, you got all these guys, oh, look at this. This is great. You did this, assholes on the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
It's like you broke up our society and you got all these kids shooting up schools. Oh, it's going to be the guns as if a gun's a new invention. You did the same thing with the healthcare system. So tired of you assholes, man. I really am. I'm in a good... I'm seriously in a good mood today. Like, is there a good dark Dan or a bad dark... I just... Do you see what they do?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You see what the liberals do? They break society. They break health care. They break public education. And then they turn around, kill people, and blame us for it. And dumbasses fall for it. I've even seen some people on the right. Yeah, well, these health care companies are fucked up. Yeah, okay, great. Why? You ever ask yourself why? Why? Why are healthcare companies fucked up? Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Why is it 30 years ago, people generally liked their health insurance? My father had Lawrence Healthcare. It was great. We had no problems. Why do people hate it now? Oh, look, the lefties got involved. That's what happens every time. To my conservative viewers out there who already know this, I'm sorry you have to go through all this shit.
The Dan Bongino Show

Why is one of the January 6th committee guys, the chairman, Benny Thompson, a communist Democrat, why does he sound so open and receptive to a pardon by Joe Biden? I'm going to tell you. Because something's going on. And I think it involves obstruction of justice. That's a perfect. You and Guy always use that line whenever you want to drop a hit. Are you having trouble sleeping or staying asleep?

I got a little bit on the drone because we've covered that. We beat that story to death, and frankly, I'm sick of talking about it. You know my theory on it. You have your own. That's cool. Much respect. I'm telling you, foreign actors are probably a good percentage of what we're seeing. Some of it's probably mistaken identity. Fine. I'm going to get to that quick, but I want to get to this first.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Folks, the IG report, Inspector General, it's like the government internal affairs came out last week on the FBI's involvement in January 6th. I've been talking about it for two days. We now know that FBI assets were embedded in the crowd in January 6th. Most of you are like, we've known that forever. We have. Liberals denied it. The media denied it. The FBI. I did not have assets on January 6th.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
They did. Matter of fact, there were agents there too. Someone asked me yesterday, how do you know that? I said, one of my friends showed me a selfie there who is a federal agent, said there were other federal agents there. Someone asked me, why did he take a selfie? My answer was, I don't know. Maybe he didn't, this was before the whole, you know, A riot broke out there. So I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Maybe he was going to take a picture because he thought it was. I have no idea why he took it. I'm just telling you he took it and was there. It's not my business why he took it, but I've seen it. And I know there were federal agents there. So the full story of January 6th and the air quotes insurrection, I promise you, has not been told. Here is Eric Schmidt. A great senator from Missouri.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
identifying characteristics of the suspect in the case, which of course fosters a lot of people's, gets their minds going on, well, why would they hide that? This is the kind of stuff, this is the main reason behind the invocation of the Bongino rule, which is just wait before drawing any conclusions. Talk about a story all you want.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
This guy's doing an amazing job. He was on a short list for FBI director if Cash didn't get it. He's on Maria Bartiromo's show. There is a massive cover-up going on, folks, and I'm going to tell you what it is right now. The January 6th committee. Remember crying Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Benny Thompson, Adam Schiff? Remember that clown show?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Remember they put on the Hollywood producer show trying to get you to believe there was some massive insurrection? Remember that? Folks, that committee, I'm telling you right now, may have some severe criminal liability coming their way. I have zero doubt they interfered with witnesses, they obstructed justice, and they destroyed evidence. There may be real crimes there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Here's Eric Schmidt on Maria's show. I'm talking about the assets, the federal assets in the crowd, and the cover-up going on right now. I think the January 6th committee knew there were federal assets in that crowd and covered it up. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Folks, the January 6th committee was nothing more than a Hollywood movie production. It was telling you, where am I going with this, a story. It was not telling you the story. The story of January 6th is far, far more elaborate than you've been told by the scumbags in the media. Oh, yeah, it was an insurrection by some crazy MAGA hat-wearing, red hat-wearing lunatics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Ladies and gentlemen, that is bullshit. This is a far bigger story, and I'm telling you what they did. They selected... Do you ever see... Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. You ever see one of these stories... I'm trying to think of a story where... It resembles almost nothing like the real story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You ever see one of these Hollywood movies and it says this is based on true events? I'll give you a perfect example. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Remember at the end of that, they were like, this is based on true events. And it turned out that it was like the Ed Gein story. Ed Gein had nothing to do with a freaking chainsaw and a leather face. Ed Gein was a serial killer.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Like that was the only thing they had in common. Had nothing to do with a Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That's what the January 6th committee was. They were committed to a story. MAGA hat-wearing insurrectionists and Chewbacca were going to take the country over. Any evidence that conflicted with that, hey, there may have been maybe some Antifa, maybe some FBI assets in the crowd.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Was there some incitement involved? I'm not absolving everyone of blaming this. I want to be clear. I'm just simply telling you that I'm willing to tell you the truth, and these assholes on the left aren't. They eliminated that evidence. And all of a sudden, a lot of the evidence the January 6th committee had seemed to magically disappear. So that explains this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
But I'm telling you, the first telling of events is almost always wrong, even from eyewitnesses. No less eyewitnesses talking to someone else that's talking to the media. I want you to listen to this, just quick 30 seconds from the police chief. And this was very suspicious from the start. Why would you not say the gender or sex of the suspect in the case? This was very bizarre. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Why is Benny Thompson, the chairman, all of a sudden very nervous, and Adam Schiff too, and Benny Thompson seems really interested in a pardon. They don't want to answer what the informant's instructions were on January 6th. Was it to incite a riot? I don't know. I'd love to find out. What did the January 6th committee, why are they playing dumb about the bomber, the pipe bomber at the DNC?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Why are they playing dumb about FBI assets? And why destroy records? Why would you destroy records if you were interested in telling the story? I want you to watch this interview. This is the chair of the committee, Benny Thompson, with Reverend Al. Guy's another joke and a clown. Here, he's asked about a pardon.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
If he did nothing wrong, Benny Thompson, and this was all on the up and up, then why would you need a pardon? Folks, I don't need a pardon for a bank robbery. I never robbed a freaking bank. What the hell would I seek a pardon for? Watch this. This is very telling. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Of course he'll take it because he knows there may be obstruction of evidence, obstruction of justice. I mean, excuse me, destruction of evidence, obstructing justice, witness tampering. Folks, this story is huge. Now let's go back and dial this back a little bit about why Benny Thompson, the chair of the Hollywood produced January 6th committee, is so nervous and wants a pardon.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Do you remember this line of questioning from Congressman Tom Massey, who has been all over this pipe bomber case? He asks Benny Thompson, it's about a minute and 20, but it's worth every second. He's like, hey, man, you were the January 6th guy. This pipe bomber planted this bomb on January 6th at the DNC. Almost killed Kamala Harris. Why are we the only ones asking questions?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Why haven't you touched that? Watch Benny Thompson. Oh, I don't know, man. If you guys know someone, it's not our job. It's your job. You're the January 6th committee guy. Watch this, and you'll see why this guy, he wants to tell you a story, not the story. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Where are the texts, the Secret Service texts on January 6th? You think Benny Thompson, the chairman, wants to know? Benny Thompson doesn't give a shit! Folks, the biggest scandal of our time is who the hell planted the damn pipe bomb on January 6th at the DNC and what was Kamala Harris doing there? She still, to this day, does not want to talk about it. It was a setup.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
It was a fake assassination plot set up by an insider to stop Republicans from talking about election interference on certification day. Factoroo. And that's why neither Benny Thompson or anyone else wants to talk about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Folks, whoever is the next secret service director and FBI director, if you're not going to get to this story on day one and reestablish trust in these two prized entities we need, I mean, we need these operations cleaned up. If not, disband them. If you're not going to clean them up and get the FBI focused on actual investigations again and counter terror, then disband it. It's useless.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
What's the freaking point? If the Secret Service is not going to protect the president and not engage in political cover-ups, then disband it. I'd rather have private security take over. What's the point? so tired of being lied to. So I titled this segment Scandal Watch because this is what we do because the media isn't even remote. Where's Stuart Thompson on this story?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Is he even remotely curious? You know, that Bongino conspiracy theory, he's got a point. Why was Kamala Harris at the DNC? Why was there a pipe on there and the January 6th chairman doesn't even seem remotely interested? I don't know, Mr. Massey, if you got information. I thought you were the committee chair, dumbass. I don't believe anything coming from the government anymore.

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
And let me tell you something. You shouldn't either. You are being bullshitted all the time. These people are full of crap. Everything they tell you is nonsense. I don't want to spend a ton of time on the drone thing. We've beaten it to death. But this is kind of important. Because President Trump made a comment yesterday at a press conference. He does.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Joe Biden, of course, can't handle a press conference. Doesn't matter. Joe Biden is the – he's the Pino, the president name only right now. Donald Trump's the actual president right now, which is kind of funny to watch. Watch Joe Biden just be thrown to the scrap heap by both Democrats and Republicans. Donald Trump was asked a question about the drones yesterday. And he says the same thing –

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
For all the people who think I'm crazy, I'm telling you the government knows who it is. It's going to leak out, because as I said yesterday on my radio show, the government can't keep a secret about anything. People have a bunch of loose lips.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
It's going to leak out, and most of these sightings, I shouldn't say most, a portion of them are going to be foreign drones surveilling our sensitive locations. You don't have to believe me. I'm willing to go to, I'll go to the wall on that one. It's not going to be every single one. There may be some, flag it, there we go.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
There may be some recreational stuff, some cases of mistaken identity, but I'm telling you the government knows and Trump knows they know too. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
So there's a theme to today's show. I don't know if you've caught it, but the theme is the media obviously telling you a story, not the story. And because they have to tell you a story that's not true rather than the story it is, what they do is an intermediary to block people from ever searching for the story like the January 6th story. block people from looking up why their healthcare sucks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Oh, look, healthcare sucks because of Obamacare and the government. So what they do is they put, as a blocker, it's like a fax vaccine to the truth. They block you with Dr. Fauci, Jonathan Gruber, that economist you saw on tape calling you guys morons. They block you with the pseudo-expert. The media will say, well, what do you know, Dan Bongino, about masks?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You're not an expert on mask epidemiology. I may not be dumbass Stuart Thompson from the New York Times, but I can tell you this. I'm not stupid. Every freaking person that wore a mask got COVID. Everyone. Everyone. So I always use the analogy of the condom. Say you have a lot of sex. May make you a little uncomfortable. Good. Maybe the analogy will hit home.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
All right. Again, I know they're dealing with a lot, but that just started to, again, get people questioning if the American media and other people have put so much pressure on police officials that right now even police investigations where information valuable to the public is being held back because they're afraid it's going to be perceived like another Nashville incident.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You're there. You're right there. You would see stuff break out right in front of you, a robbery or something else. You'd be sitting there for a moment. They wouldn't see you, and they'd rob someone. And you'd be stunned because you'd see everything. It'd be a guy, say, 5'1", with a red jacket and blue jeans, or 5'2", some short guy, whatever it is. And the lady then come up to you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
A condom is meant to be a prophylactic device. The whole idea is to prevent STDs or pregnancy. Correct? Imagine you have a lot of sex and every time you have sex, you get an STD and you get someone pregnant with a condom. Would you wear the condom anymore? You'd be like, no, Dan, that'd be stupid. That's the mask. Only dipshits believe in the mask.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
But because they don't want you to see the truth, they block you with this patina of experts, the crust of experts, so you never get to the inside of this shit cake they're selling you. Fauci said masks work, and liberals are like, yeah, man, Fauci said so, because they're too freaking stupid to do their own homework.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
So a lot of these younger folks got caught up in this woke ideology now, too, because the experts told them there's a difference between sex and gender. Really? What is it? Well, listen to them go on and on. Well, gender, you determine later on at life. No, no, no, you don't. Let me give you a quick test. When a baby's born, you guys paying attention to this? Everybody in the chat, you ready?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Put down what you're doing. You got your coffee, maybe your blackout, take a sip. Put the coffee cup down. This is very, very advanced. You woke liberals ready? If when your kid is born, they've got a unit downstairs, they've got a penis downstairs, it's definitely a boy. That's the sex and the gender. Michael's stunned. Michael, like, the chair, you know, mine's like locked.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
He almost fell off the freaking chair back there. Justin had to make a ninja-like move away from the keyboard, grabbed him by the left hand. They almost dislocated his shoulder in the process, grabbing the freaking chair from falling over because Michael simply can't believe it. If your kid has a penis, the sex and gender are the exact same. But Guy's like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Guy's like, I'm under the hood for review. Guy's throwing the red flag. He wants a review on them. But the experts. The stupid smart people, the Grubers, the Fagazis, the Benny Thompsons, the Fauci's, Yale School of the, Yale, this is an Ivy League school that actually believes sex and gender should be used to refer to a person's self-representation. It doesn't matter what you self-represent.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
If you've got a unit, you're a dude.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
This show is freaking crazy. Where's this all coming from? Did you see this clip on nuclear yesterday on social media? This is a dumbass left, again, trying to tell you a story. Sex and gender are different. Really? How come there are no women dominating men's sports if there's no difference? I'm curious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
How come there's not a woman who thinks she's a guy who's competing at the UFC heavyweight level? I'm just curious. Why isn't there a single NFL quarterback that has chromosomes for a woman who thinks she's a guy? Why if there's no difference? I'm just curious. Why is that? Here's Ted Cruz questioning an expert. This is great. This is a big W for Senator Ted Cruz.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
The answer is the facts aren't a problem. Just get them out there. The first telling of a story is almost always wrong. Shock, stress, they distort reality. People see things and hear things that aren't there. It is the genesis of the Bongino rule. It's why I try not to get emotional about stories, tragic or not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Hey, why do women's sports exist then if there's no difference between the two things? Check this out.

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
how dumbasses in the media and their moron leftist acolytes only exist to tell you a story, not the story, and the fax vaccine wall in between, that they get the dumbass disciples, that keeps them segregated, a story from the story so they never see the truth, are experts like this moron up on Capitol Hill. Experts. Look at this story from the Daily Caller.

The Biden administration, full of experts, by the way, dumped hundreds of thousands into ensuring military parents affirm their child's gender identity. Let me save you hundreds of thousands of dollars with this very simple test.

Consider it a firm. Send me the hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm making charitable donations this year. I will send it off to Folds of Honor or someone else. Save the taxpayers the money, please. Folks. Man, today's show has been like a lot, a lot.

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
I've been in a mood all week with this stuff because I feel like I've hit this inflection point in my life where I'm not going to let anyone fall for stupid anymore. I'm going to tell you something. I'd see if you guys agree with me. I'd love to hear it in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
I try to just get the story out there, put a little color to it, give you an opinion on it so you know this is the home for truth for you. I'm trying to get out some helpful information. So for those of you out there who have kids in schools, you're a school administrator, an SRO, school resource officer, or police officer.

Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Trump's lasting gift, I said to you, was going to be his remaking of the Republican Party about the working man, minority communities. And I still believe that. But I would say either tied or second, his biggest gift to the Republican Party is going to be finally a cracking of this woke culture where the facade of expertise was completely collapsed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
the Dr. Fauci's of the world, the Obamacare Gruber guy, the Frank Fugazi, the FBI managers that were supposed to be experts in counterterrorism and investigation. The allure of expertise has been shattered by a brash New York City billionaire who came in like a wrecking ball and said, you know what? I'm not saying these people aren't smart. They may be smart in a very specific area,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
But the fact that they've taken that expertise into politics and tried to control the lives of millions of people, these people are the problem. They're not the solution to the problem. I would argue that that's Donald Trump's either equal or second greatest gift to the Republican Party is fracturing this illusion that the left is the party of expertise. They're the party of morons. Wear a mask.

Again, I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this because tragically these things do tend to happen. I wish they didn't. There are problems. Of course, the left's creating a story. It's all about the guns as if guns haven't existed for 200 years. No one ever goes, well, why didn't we do this when there were guns around in the 50s? Why? Oh, I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
I don't want to ask those questions because they're inconvenient. Maybe because we had families and churches and we didn't have the left assailing our culture every day. I don't know. Don't ask those questions. They're really inconvenient. I'm going to get to that part in a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
But this Secret Service analysis, I know they've been going through a rough time with some terrible tactics and really screwing up with Trump. But they've done some really good things. They did part of this when I was there. This is the National Threat Assessment Center. You'll see at the bottom, NTAC. This is a study they did with the Secret Service on school shootings and targeted violence.

Folks, the link to it is in the newsletter, bongino.com slash newsletter. It's free. You don't have to pay for anything. We don't spam your inbox. If you go there, you will see this link. I strongly encourage you to download it. There's about 10 bullet takeaways. I'll just go through some of them really quick.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
If you have a kid in school, these are the things they notice studying just a bevy of incidents just like this targeted violence at schools. Attackers usually had multiple motives. Wait, go back to the first one. You're already zipping past. Yeah. Attackers usually had multiple motives. The most common involving a grievance with classmates. Not surprising. There was usually some...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Trauma in the classroom with these kids, bullying and things like that. I mean, everyone who's bullied is going to go up and shoot a school up. No, but this is an issue. Most attackers use firearms. They were often acquired from the home. This is something I talked about yesterday. I am a big believer in the Second Amendment.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
I'm also a big believer in personal responsibility and securing your firearms. I'll go through a couple more here. Most attackers had experienced psychological, behavioral, developmental symptoms. Again, the kind of thing that if a child is going through some issues independently of being bullied and ends being bullied too, you got to be careful, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You'd run over and try to help him out, right? And the lady who's getting mugged would say, oh, my gosh, did you see him? He was like seven feet tall with a blue jacket and red pants, inverting everything. And you'd be like, that's not what happened. That is why the first version of any event, even with the media, is almost always wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
It can tip over the edge, especially if you don't have a good support group. Half the attackers had interest in violent topics. And you'll see this more if you just want to scroll through quickly the rest of them, social stressors and things like this. Folks, this report is out there for you to read. Can't recommend it enough. Is it some dispositive final analysis?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Like, if you hit all 10 of these, you are definitely going to be a school shooter. It is not. However... Just like when the Secret Service goes out and investigates people who threaten the president, we have to designate them by a class. Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3. Really dangerous? We do it this same way. We look at bullet points.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
I'm not going to say what they are because I don't want to give anybody any ideas. But if you meet 8 out of 10 of them, then yeah, you could be kind of an issue. So... Check it out. I hope it's helpful. I'm candidly, honestly, genuinely trying to help here and not tell you bullshit stories about it's the guns. There have been guns around forever.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
People going and parroting this stupid left-wing narrative. Guns have been around since the invention of this thing called gunpowder. Wow, look, it explodes. It's incredible that this has only been a problem since we've had this attack on boys, this culture war in America. I'm not sitting here telling you that access to firearms for people in trouble isn't an issue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
I just said to you five minutes ago, even less, that yes, if you have a firearm in the house with a child who's troubled, some 13-year-old boy or girl in trouble, and we know the shooter was a girl now since that's been cleared up, But then it's your job to secure the firearm. I'm not naive to that. You see what honesty looks like? Not the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Here we go already with the gun-did-it story, which is fascinating. Because when the UnitedHealthcare CEO was murdered with a firearm, with an actual firearm, did you notice the story wasn't about the gun? I thought they were against gun violence. What was the story, guys? You remember evil healthcare CEOs. Hey, a guy shot him in the back. You see left-wingers getting...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
tattoos of the guy with the gun shooting him. So left-wingers, go yourselves. Nobody buys your bullshit. You're telling people a story, not the story. If you thought it was about guns, you would have made it about freaking guns too when the UnitedHealthcare guy got shot in the back. But you love that shooting. You didn't give a shit about the gun. So you can take that and shove it up your ass.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You're full of shit and you know it. You just want... A law abiding Americans. You want to disarm them. And you saw an opportunity for us story rather than the story. Just like you saw an opportunity for an attack on free market health care last week. You didn't care that a guy used the gun. But here, of course, is Frank Fugazi, the infamous 8-8 loser. Fugazi's in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Guy's a complete D-bag. Here he is, of course, on MSNBC or whatever he does as commentary. Now, I want you to notice the hypocrisy in what he says here. He gives, in the beginning, what seems like some reasonable answer. Well, we should look at this, look at this. And then he goes right to the gun at the end and says one of the dumbest things you'll ever hear.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
You know, we've got to look at these laws with kids and criminals with guns. Folks in the chat, quickly, yes or no? Aren't there already laws that prevent young kids and criminals from getting guns? Guys, I'm not sure. Any of you guys firearms owners? Michael, Justin? I'm reasonably confident. I'm not too sure. I don't know a lot about a lot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
That if you're a kid or you're a criminal, that there are already things called laws that will prevent you from getting a firearm. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
It applies yesterday to what happened with this school shooting. I'm going to try to be helpful today, unlike the losers and morons in the media, rushing information out, turned out to be wrong, already telling you a story rather than the story. And I'm going to help you out with some actual research on these school shooting things if you're a parent. A little bit of time on that, not much.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Now, I just want this on the record here. Did you notice these left-wing media outlets avoided the gun conversation altogether when the UnitedHealthcare CEO was shot in the back in the middle of a Manhattan street? Manhattan, which has some of the strictest gun laws in the world. Did you notice suspiciously that nobody seemed to give a shit about guns and that thing? Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Because the left only cares. I'm like a little too wired for today's show. I'm sorry. I don't know if it's blackout coffee or me being pissed off because I love the second amendment and the ability to protect myself. The left doesn't give a shit about guns. Do you understand that? It is a proxy argument. They don't care.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
If the left cared about guns, Joe Biden would not have pardoned his son for a freaking gun crime dipshits on the left. They don't care about guns. They don't? No, they don't. Anyone in the chat remember when I did this whole spiel on the Second Amendment because I love the ability to defend yourself. It's a God-given right, okay? Why do the left go after guns? Here's your answer.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
It has nothing to do with the gun. The left needs you dependent on the state. A firearm gives you the ability to stand your ground and hold your own and protect yourself and your family independent of the state. They don't want that. It's the same reason they go after healthcare. They don't hate healthcare CEOs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
They hate the fact that they don't control healthcare and the healthcare CEO is in the way. That's it. The gun is in the way of having you totally dependent on the state. Folks, if there was a, you see the freaking gavel here, you know this. If there was ever a gavel drop. Judge Bongino has ruled, you need to trust me on this. They don't care about guns. How do I know that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Because a lot of these leftist celebrities and rich people have guns. If they cared about the gun, oh my gosh, the gun, we got to get rid of that. It's so evil. They wouldn't have the evil device in the house themselves. That's not what's going on here. The gun is a symbol of freedom. It's a symbol of a detachment from the government. You can protect yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
The police are not there to protect you. They're there to enforce the law. They don't like that. They don't like that. Whenever they can tell you a story, they will. So does anyone find it even remotely curious that when the gun was used in Manhattan, the narrative was completely different?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Here's a Washington Post article about the slaying of the UnitedHealthcare CEO with a firearm in one of the most liberal cities in America, which strict gun laws. Notice the headline. We've got to get to put up the headline. It says we got to get the guns out of the hands of criminals in Manhattan. No, no, not that one. The other one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Oh, that is. Justin's confused.

Guy shot with a gun in Manhattan. And what's the headline? Deny and delay the practices fueling anger at U.S. I thought it was the gun. I told him, now it's practices fueling anger?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
Oh, practices like the government doesn't run health care, the free market does and they don't like it, or outside of Obamacare? Anger, practices fueling anger, like murdering a dude in the middle of the street. Notice how the part, watch the post headline here. This headline has nothing to do with gun control. Nothing. Because they're looking for a story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Drops The Hammer At Press Conference (Ep. 2389)
So school shooting in Madison, it doesn't matter what the motive is, what happened, if the child is in trouble, there's a mental disorder, some sociopathological disorder, it doesn't matter.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Nobody cares. No one. The problem with this whole thing, folks, and why I'm worried is, again, we've got people in power who hate Donald Trump. I have been told by multiple sources that the picture on the security picture on drones for the inauguration and moving forward is not good, that they have been warned about this repeatedly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
So folks, I've been getting a ton of questions from you and the Bongino Army listening audience, even outside. secondary and tertiary members of the Bongino Army looking to enlist. We get a ton of questions. Dan, how do you feel about this inauguration? Do you think it's going to be safe? And the answer is complicated. That's not an easy yes or no question. Yes, it's going to be safe.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Susan Crabtree, who's done some excellent reporting, has a tweet up talking again about Matt McCool saying that drones are going to be part of the protective plan before and during the inauguration. I really hope that they've got this thing locked down, folks. Having drones up there is great. What are you going to do to counter drones, especially given that air picture around there?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Now, I want you to notice here, too. Susan's reporting that they're going to have a TFR up, a temporary flight restriction. The FAA is going to put a TFR up for aircraft and drones around the capital region. Now, what's the problem with TFRs, temporary flight restrictions, meaning you guys can't fly here? Ladies and gentlemen, the problem with TFRs is they're like four-way stop signs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
They're basically suggestions. If everybody doesn't agree to stop, you're going to get an accident, okay? That's the problem with TFRs. There are other things we can do to make sure planes and drones don't violate the TFR. I don't care to say them on this show because I don't want anyone to mitigate the problem. I hope you understand. However, I'm not sure we have the manpower for all of that.

Marjorie Taylor Greene put out on her Twitter account yesterday, just flew into DCA, obviously the airport right in the capital region there. Before landing, our pilot announced he had to fly in from another direction due to unauthorized drone activity over the White House. They just got done telling us they're all over the drone stuff. Is this accurate? Was it the pilot who got it wrong?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I'm not drawing any hard conclusions. The pilot could have said something out of turn. Maybe he heard something wrong. I don't think Marjorie Taylor Greene's lying. I thought they fixed the drone problem. Now do you see why I'm worried? Your boy don't let you down. I don't want to see anything happen to anyone. Anyone. Remember, Democrat politicians are going to be in D.C. for inauguration too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's not a partisan thing. By the way, remember how I told you yesterday that there is a real market for liars? Liars and scum in the media. And for articles like the John Fund article that just made up. And some people, I think, may have doubted me. No, there's no market for that. Oh, no, I promise you there is. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a second.

Text DAN to the number 989898 today. Message and data rates apply. Thank you, Birch Gold. Just quickly, a couple of media points and media announcements here. Rachel Maddow is back up to fire. Five nights a week on MSNBC. Ladies and gentlemen, according to Variety's Brian Steinberg, I told you there's a market for bullshit, and I'm never wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Rachel Maddow, Russia Rachel, Moscow Maddow, who has been wrong on every single Trump scandal of our time, from the Hunter laptop to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's business relationships to Donald Trump's taxes to Russia collusion to Spygate, is back to five nights a week. Why? Because there is a market for bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
And by the way, while there's a market for bullshit, even on the anti-Trump, right, like John Fund claiming I pick people for Trump's cabinet, I have picked absolutely no one ever. Matter of fact, I've had people ask me to contact Donald Trump. I'll ask Donald Trump publicly. I'll ask him right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Mr. Trump, if you want to respond, have I called you about myself or any other nominees for any position? Thank you, Mr. Trump. The answer is I have not because I don't ask the president for anything. Why? Because when you're asking him for something, he feels like you're trying to sell him a bunch of bullshit. And one thing I'm never going to sell the president is bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
You know why I support President Trump? Any ideas in the chat? Because I like what he stands for. That's why. It's not a quid pro quo. However, I'm sure John Fonda will write an article that I definitely picked this guy too, being that I'm very close to him. Donald Trump announces Leo Terrell as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
One of the guys who showed up at my 50th birthday party, he flew all the way in from California. And I got to tell you, I'm honored to call this guy a friend and I wish Leo Terrell the best. And John Fun, let me say on the record, in case you want to print another article, I had absolutely nothing to do about this. I found out, Leo, if you're watching, you can put it out publicly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Leo told me basically the night before, said, hey, keep this quiet. That's when I found out. That's basically when I found out with anyone else. So John, if you'd like to write another bullshit article, go right ahead. Dan Bongino picked Leo Terrell, too. Totally insane nonsense. But there is a market for bullshit. How do I know that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Because the media still refuses to call out Biden's bullshit and is already starting to, let's say, remodel like clay his legacy, and you and I are not going to let it happen. Now, I want to give you a fair critique of my show, okay? I know what you're going to say. Forgive me if you heard this on the radio show yesterday, but it's important I address this.

Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
A fair critique you might want to lob at me right now is, Dan, why are we still covering Biden? He wasn't even the nominee and he lost. Okay, good question. Folks, because we are never going to dismantle the historical record of liberalism, socialism, and communism, because they're all flavors of the same ice cream, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
We are never going to dismantle it and put this thing in six feet deep where it deserves to be, this deadly, ruthless ideology. if we don't accurately cover what people who enacted it like Joe Biden did to us. The media is already busy rewriting the history of Joe Biden. You're going to see going forward, they're going to say, He was well-intentioned, but he loved his kid and had gotten away.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
No, Joe Biden is corrupt. Joe Biden is a sociopath. He's a lion sack of garbage, and he always has been. Joe Biden is one of the worst character individuals ever in the history of politics. He's a liar and a fraud and a cheat. However, that's really not why Joe Biden failed. Joe Biden failed because he did liberal stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
He expanded big government, which took away your individual liberty and placed it in a pot of unelected bureaucrats who F'd you over. That's it. And now they're already busy, Biden and others, trying to remodel the Biden agenda so your kids don't learn liberalism sucks just that Joe Biden sucked. And I'm not going to let it happen. Here's what I mean. Here is Biden. Yes, this is Biden.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
No, this is Jake Sullivan first. Here's his national security advisor yesterday. tragically, hilariously claiming that America is stronger after Joe Biden left office. Really? Afghanistan, the debt, the wokeness in the military, recruitment problems. America is stronger? Well, Jake Sullivan says so. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
The country's better off than we were four years ago. In what respect? The hundreds of thousands of criminals and terrorists and rapists and murderers and drug dealers and fentanyl traffickers and child sex traffickers in the country. The inflationary crisis that has debased our dollar. The lack of respect for us and our military overseas. The October 7 terror attack. The invasion of Ukraine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
The saber rattling across the strait in Taiwan. Where exactly are we stronger? I'd like to hear that. Do not let them remodel like Play-Doh what Joe Biden and his liberalism did to this country. Your kids are going to fall prey to this bullshit again. Why do we keep fighting the same fight over and over again?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I've said to you over and over, communism, socialism, and liberalism have a 100% success record. They do? Yes, of failing every single time. The media does this every time. They start to remold it to make the problems not about the ideology but the person. Here's Biden yesterday regurgitating this sick, deranged message that somehow America is stronger. Do not let it happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It is important that even though he's gone and Kamala Harris lost resoundingly, that we highlight to our kids and others exactly what they did and why this ideology will destroy us in the end. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I will get to the inauguration in a second. First, a major development, major, groundbreaking, like a level 72 earthquake, even though they're not measured in 72 levels.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
OK, none of that's true. We have no diplomatic power anymore. We will when Donald Trump gets in office. Joe Biden tried to force Israel into a shitty deal that would have gotten Israel wiped off the face of the earth. Thankfully, they didn't listen. They did a ton of damage to enemies of them and enemies of the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
The Russians, unfortunately, did listen to Donald Trump when he suggested in a press conference like an asshole that it would be OK if Putin engaged in a small invasion. There really wouldn't be many consequences from it. What did he do? He then invaded Ukraine. But it's not just that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
He's going to try to rewrite history and lie to people over and over and over again about his record on everything from geopolitics to the border. We can't let it happen. Open borders are part of the liberal communist socialist ideology. Why? Because they believe demographics will save them from their failure to produce for American citizens. They talk about it all the time. Demographic destiny.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Therefore, they can't have you know that involves an actual invasion at our southern border. So you're going to hear Biden doing what he does here and rewriting history, claiming somehow that the border crossing numbers went down from him to Donald Trump. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a John Funn-like made up. He just made this up. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
National Review, John Fund added this little liner after completely fabricating a story that radio talk show host Dan Bongino is in the kitchen cabinet of advisors to Donald Trump and had a role in choosing Pete Hanks as the Matt Gaetz. He added this cowardly paragraph, though Bongino denies any role in their selection. Any idea, Michael, why I would deny any role in their selection?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
The border numbers went down. And what the hell is he talking about with the Secret Service at the border? Can this guy get his head out of a freaking bowl of oatmeal for once? I mean, my gosh, can you speak in a coherent sentence? I mean, dude, try some Adderall or something. Get your brain clear, man. What is he doing at night? Drinking? Is this guy on a hangover all the time?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Even with this cognitive disorder, just speak in a coherent sentence once in a while. The Secret Service has nothing to do with the border. Of course, for the liberal bags on the show, all the Karens out there, the liberal Karens out there too, and Queen of the Karens, who will make an appearance later in the show, I promise she's back again, who love to just make up numbers.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I went to your favorite buddies at the Washington Post so you can't accuse me of political bias. They got the numbers from Biden's, if you look at the bottom, Department of Homeland Security. Illegal crossings at U.S.-Mexico border. According to the left-wing communist Washington Post, quote, illegal crossings reached an all-time high of 2.2 million in 2022.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Barely ever crossing a million ever under Donald Trump. Holy shit, Dan, Joe Biden's making that up? Just like Johnny Fund. Yes, he is, because that's what they do. They make it up. Do not let them rewrite the history of Joe Biden or your kids will be voting for this stuff again under the confused narrative that it was about Joe Biden and not about what Joe Biden's ideological ideas were.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
That's the problem. Yeah, but Joe Biden's corrupt. We know that. Every politician's corrupt. But liberalism is deadly. They do this all the time. Well, Jimmy Carter was a bad president because Jimmy Carter was uniquely unqualified. No, Jimmy Carter was a liberal. David Dinkins, the mayor of New York, was just a terrible mayor. No, no, David Dinkins was a liberal. They do this all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
All right, I got more coming up next, including a segment on the wildfires. I'm going to get to Jessica Tarloff, too. We may have to move that up, too, because I'm just getting tired of this, the misinformation and the lies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Ladies and gentlemen, the best compliment you can ever give me on this show, I get it on Facebook all the time, sometimes in the Rumble chat, too, is, Dan, we learn a lot from the show. I hope the show's entertaining. I don't want to bore you to death, certainly, but if the show's not educational, I'm wasting your freaking time. I hope we learned a couple of things today here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
The border numbers dissecting this Biden national security record and also this the Secret Service inauguration plan. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not sure they have this thing locked down on the drones. Quick break. We get back to the show and show you a poll how these narratives are no longer catching on. And this is why they're freaking out about Facebook, because they can't censor you anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Left wing narratives are not working anymore. Hey, if you have weight to lose, here's what you can do. For me, no company in America aligns more with making America healthy again than PhD Weight Loss. Jim, producer Jim uses it. He lost a ton of weight. He lost about 40 pounds. PhD Weight Loss is a nutrition company. They've been on my show as a sponsor for over a year now and the radio show too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Like I said, Jim lost a ton of weight. Everyone was blown away with PhD's approach and Jim's results. Go check him out. He's at JJ Verde on Twitter. You can look yourself. PhD Weight Loss helps tackle the real problem, fixing what you eat with accountability and support.
The Dan Bongino Show

Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Any idea at all? Because I had a massive role, so massive it resembled a freaking donut or a goose egg. Zero. John, I really suggest you just retract this altogether. We're not going to stop. I'm sorry, but I'm just not going to let you media people continue to lie about anyone you don't like who supports Donald Trump. We're not all robots. We're not morons.

We honor the over 66 million unborn babies whose lives have been taken through abortion since Roe. Sadly, since Roe was overturned, unborn babies' lives could be at even greater risk. You see, a study says the abortion pill accounts for over 60%. of abortions, making this tragedy available 24-7. But in the midst of this darkness, there's a light that shines. It's a company I believe in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Preborns help rescue over 300,000 unborn babies from abortion every day. On average, they help rescue 200 plus unborn babies. When a woman considering abortion hears her baby's heartbeat and sees the precious baby on ultrasound, her baby's chance at life could double. Preborn shares free heartbeats and God's love for mother and child, and they need our help.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
For just $28, the cost of a dinner, you could sponsor an ultrasound to introduce a mother to a baby for the first time. 100% of your donation will go towards saving unborn babies. Please help. Just dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby or donate securely at preborn.com slash Bongino. It's a great charity. That's preborn.com slash Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
As you can tell, it means a lot to me, saving the unborn folks. Preborn.com slash Bongino. Check it out. OK, here's what I mean. Folks, this is why they're freaked out about Facebook not censoring for them. They cannot hide this stuff anymore. Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan claiming America is in a better position and safer around the world when everybody knows the facts don't point in that direction.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Joe Biden claiming that he secured the border and the numbers went down. Those are just made up, fabricated numbers. He just pulled that out of his ass. He's making it up. They can't hide it anymore because they can't censor you. The California wildfires are a similar scenario. What's driving them crazy is people are getting destroyed. Their lives are being destroyed. People have died.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I think it's 24 plus people right now have died in these tragic fires. They've lost everything. They've been wiped out. You've had entire towns wiped out. You have one of the world's most powerful cities burning right now, and this multi-trillion dollar over decades government that has known about this problem since the inception of the California territories hasn't done shit to solve it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
You are paying this government with 50% of your money, if not more, in California, and they F'd you over, and that's a fact. So what do they do? You know what? Play this Harry Anton clip from CNN and get that Wall Street Journal article up next. They've got a new bullshit narrative about this because they cannot, just like I told you, they'll blame Biden and not liberalism.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
They cannot, the media, cover this fairly and say, government sucks. We have to reform it. It's not doing its job. So what do they do? They blame it on climate change. That's the bad news. The good news, even CNN's pollster admits, this shit ain't working. Nobody's Biden anymore. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
They're not making the connection with climate change because it's bullshit. Even if there were a connection with climate change, you still look like jerkwads out in California because you have a freaking super majority in government where Republicans have no statewide office or power at all to stop you. And even if the climate was changing, what, you just ignored it and let the place burn down?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
There is no scenario by which this is excusable. Except if you're a big government freaking apologist like the queen of the Karens. First, I'm going to show you this Wall Street Journal article. Get ready. Get ready, they've got a new narrative. What is it called in this article? Hydrologic shock or something? Is there a new thing?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Whether you think I'm an intelligent guy or an idiot, I don't really care. I give zero Fs about that. I'm just saying, ladies and gentlemen, these people make stuff up. John will not retract the article. He'll just put a denial in there. That way he can look like it's my job to deny a false charge. This is what they do. This is exactly what you get out of National Review.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Basically, the liberals' new narrative is, wow, these wet and dry seasons are causing a problem in California because it rains a lot one year, vegetation grows, then it dries out, and there's fires. As if this hasn't been an issue, like, forever. Wall Street Journal, California's wildfire climate excuse. So they're saying now climate change explains wet and dry seasons.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
So it's wet, it's climate change. It's dry, it's climate change. It's in between, it's climate change. Everything's climate change to these assholes. Which follows, they note, the progressive line that climate change is responsible for every natural disaster except for perhaps earthquakes. Believe me, that's coming too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
In today's climate orthodoxy, bad weather is always man-made, except when you look at the actual data. Here's the educational part of the edutainment portion of the show, okay? Here's an actual chart. The source is the freaking state of California, in case you want to blame Ron DeSantis or some Republican governor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
You look at California's annual precipitation since 1900, and it looks pretty consistent. Before the Industrial Revolution. So they're just making it up? just like John Fund and just like Biden on the border. Hydroclimate whiplash. Thank you, guys. I should have put that in the show. That's what they're calling it. Folks, it's bullshit. You're being lied to. And why are you being lied to?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Because liberals will never, ever hold themselves accountable for effing you over after stealing your money at the end of a barrel of a gun to fund their big government bureaucratic measures. why does this happen because you've got queen of the count queen of the curse People like Jessica Tarloff on the five, not personal folks, who cannot simply acknowledge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
No matter what you say in this scenario, people do not want to hear how the super majority of California Democrats, which have run the state for now close to 30 years monopolistically, either couldn't prepare for it. Everything's an excuse. Why was there no water in the reservoir? Well, it wasn't maintained. Well, maybe you should have fucking maintained it. You dipshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
You're in an area known for heavy winds and fires in the dry season. Maybe fix the fucking reservoir. You hydroclimate whiplash dipshits. But Guy's like, what about the smell? Maybe fix the damn reservoir. The state has got a surplus, I think, this year of $16 billion. Fix the freaking reservoir. But here, here's Tarlo.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Well, maybe don't maintain the reservoir during a fire season with dry weather and Santa Ana winds and fill the thing up. Listen to this shit. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Just grow some balls, fellas. Retract it. Say you made a mistake. You were misled. You cannot provide a shred of evidence. I've offered you $100,000 in cash to prove to me I had any role in selecting these two individuals at all. You can't. You can't. Pete's up there today. He's doing a great job. We'll have some clips for you tomorrow and later. It's going to be a long hearing, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Folks, why do you keep voting for people like this and their ass-kissing sycophants like Queen of the Karens? It's not like you knew there was going to be a crime. Well, let me tell you how this works, Jessica. When you have a thing like Comstat and you call in a precinct commander and you say there's been 72 drug deals on this corner in the last week, can you reasonably assume...
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Queen of the Karens, that there's a problem on that corner that needs to be handled, and there'll likely be another drug dealer again. Yes, so you put a cop there. That's why we pay government. I know you're not smart, but you're telling people, don't do your own fire mitigation with insurance companies and a private fire department. Give it to the government. We'll figure it out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
They're in a known fire area during a dry season with Santa Ana winds, and they're like, you think we should fix that reservoir? Nah, fuck it. We'll get to it when we get to it. This is what you're going to get. Here's the difference. I'm not telling you free market companies and private companies and insurance companies are the answer to all your problems. Do they F people over? All the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
There's a difference. You can fire them. Once you elect a government, you're stuck with them. That's it. You can't get away from them. I want you to listen to this. This is worth your time. It's about a minute 40, but I promise it's a little long for the show, but it's worth your time. I found this guy yesterday, Jack Hibbs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
He has, I guess, a radio show out there, and I'd never heard of him before yesterday. I'm going to have to look him up. But he was given a speech here on the California, the concentrated power of the Democrats in California and everything they've done to destroy the state. They have a super majority, folks. They're in charge while all this is going down. They are responsible.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
That's what taking responsibility means. You lose 16 football games because you don't have a weight room because you didn't maintain the weight room and you keep getting jacked up on the line because you're not strong enough, then it's your responsibility as a coach to get fired and take freaking responsibility for not training your athletes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Here's Hibbs on the California supermajority and how these guys can't escape accountability. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's the typical stuff. Pete, we hear you hate women. Pete, of course, does not hate women. It's a nonsensical, stupid thing. They're trying to get the when did you stop beating your wife question because this is what Democrats do. Let me get to a really important story today, something I. have been deeply involved in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Yeah, brother. That's right. Empty reservoirs, empty fire hydrants. At what point does the queen of the Karens and others out there acknowledge that You guys are actually participants in this debacle because it's not just that government failed these people and their lives were destroyed and 24, I think, more than that, 24 people now have died. Their lives weren't destroyed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Their lives were taken. That you guys are covering for them are narrative accomplices in covering up the debacle that this state's become. This is how they operate, folks, every single time. And the media covers up for him. I want to transition to a story that's been on my mind, too, because now, last night, in case you missed it, Jack Smith was given approval to release his report.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
There's nothing new in there, folks. It's all bullshit. The only newsworthy item from tyrant Jack Smith's report, who's now left the Justice Department, is that he de facto acknowledges in the report that Donald Trump wasn't responsible for an insurrection. There was no way they could prove it because there was no insurrection. He told people to march peacefully and patriotically.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Folks, and again, you know, in contrast to what John Fund is telling you, I have very little, if any, relationship whatsoever at all with the Trump transition team.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's crazy that he even thought in front of a biased D.C. jury full of Trump haters that he still couldn't prove that beyond a reasonable doubt because he was making it up. But this Mar-a-Lago raid has been on my mind for a long time. I've gotten into a lot of fights over this because Christopher Wray, this is his darkest moment. The soon to be departing, thankfully, FBI director.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
This is where Christopher Wray fully and completely broke the FBI. Any reasonable FBI director understanding the president of the United States declassification powers would have never in a thousand years authorized a raid on Mar-a-Lago. Only an absolute moron or a tyrant would have done it. I'm not sure which one Christopher Wray is. Maybe both. Here he is on 61 Minutes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Again, trying to explain this as if there isn't a dispute about the president's classification authorities and what was classified as if this was a black and white matter beyond the reasonable doubt where he had actual probable cause for a search warrant where no such thing even existed. There was a real dispute here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
And I'm going to prove it to you in a minute about if these things were even classified at all. This thing didn't even meet close to a standard for probable cause for a warrant. But watch Christopher Wray just assume that's all true. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I'm telling you, most of these radio and TV people out there, not all, a lot of good guys, I don't want to, you know, begrudge anyone their radio skills or talents, but a lot of people try to tell you they have relationships with people in power to look important. I pride myself on the opposite, on not having relationships with people in power, okay? Or...
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
They have no probable cause, folks. His duty isn't to act as he just falsely stated. His duty is to follow the law. Does he not know that? Our duty is to act? Well, what is the law? Again, here's the educational portion of the show. Just a news article. I want you to read this. It's an older article, but it's worth your time. It's in the newsletter again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Save this for your dumbass friends who still don't understand why the FBI raided them and had zero probable cause of a crime whatsoever. Matter of fact, the law says they had no evidence at all of a crime. There's already been a lawsuit about classified papers. However, the last lawsuit involved the Democrat. And notice how the FBI and everyone else handled it completely differently.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Who was that Democrat? Yes, William Jefferson Clinton, sometimes known as Bill. And the ruling from Amy Berman Jackson, Bill Clinton had some papers in a sock drawer.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
was that under the statutory scheme established by the Presidential Records Act, the decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records, listen to this, is made by the president during the president's term and in his sole discretion. Amy Jackson wrote in her 2012 decision, which was never appealed, oh, it goes on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Since the president is completely entrusted with the management and disposal of presidential records during his time in office, it would be difficult for the court to conclude that Congress intended he would have less authority to do what he pleases with what he considers to be his personal records, Amy Berman Jackson added. Sounds pretty conclusive.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
She ultimately rejected a lawsuit concluding there was no provision in the Presidential Records Act to force the National Archives involved in the Trump case to seize records from a former president. You see how everybody in the left-wing media wanted this narrative out there that there was some confusion? There's no confusion. When it was a Democrat, there's no confusion at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Well, how safe? 90% safe? 99% safe? Everything's on the margin. Or no, it's not going to be safe. Well, how unsafe? Like how unsafe Trump shouldn't show up? Or how unsafe they should do it outside of D.C.? They're real questions. And they deserve real answers. Been an update yesterday. Secret Service and FBI did a briefing. We'll have that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's in his sole discretion what his papers are or not. Christopher Wray jumps to chapter six of the book, assuming that they weren't Donald Trump's records and he's entitled to them. Notice he ignores the 2012 ruling, the court precedent, which by the way, was never appealed. Notice how he ignores that. And notice how the media never brings this Bill Clinton case up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
relationships that would blind me from being able to criticize the obvious. I don't have this kind of relationship with these people. I would like to talk to them about the inauguration. They've not reached out. That's okay. They may have other people. I mean it. I'm not the only person calling attention to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Folks, the bias here is really deeply disturbing. Go to that Axios piece if you would. That's why this Axios piece is so critical. For all the times I give you bad news, I want to follow it up with good news so you understand that all of the work you're doing on social media and elsewhere to combat bullshit liberal narratives, ladies and gentlemen, is working.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Axios, Americans' faith in most professions dwindles. They're covering a Gallup poll. Look at who's getting absolutely crushed. The honesty and loyalty of professors, people like nurses, grade school teachers, military officers, pharmacists, medical doctors, good, they've earned it. Majority negative opinions? Yes. TV reporters, members of Congress, and lobbyists.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
TV reporters, John Funds, and others out there. Liars out there who make stuff up. That's why nobody trusts you. Because you lie, you're full of shit. The fact checkers, if Facebook follows through, are not going to be able to protect you anymore. And this is why nobody trusts you. Let me end on a good note today. You see this video of Donald Trump. Remember that you got the garbage truck thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Did you guys remember this garbage truck thing? This is why I love this guy. He does stuff that's so unconventional and puts the media on their asses so much that it's my Dan Bongino media. They show their ass thing where they, they react emotionally instead of a prod.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Their problem is they need to get rid of Donald Trump, but because Donald Trump trolls them so effectively every time they let their emotions get in the way and they destroy their own credibility. As you see from this survey up there, They don't seem to care that no one in America actually believes them as a majority negative opinion of them. They don't mind.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
And it's because he does things like this. Remember when Joe Biden called this all garbage MAGA supporters and Donald Trump got in a garbage truck?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
genius by the way freaking genius me and many others thought this was an amazing idea i'm glad they jumped on that idea but they probably thought of it themselves i mean everybody thought it was a good idea i want to take like false credit for anything like that but the trump is now the trump garbage truck is now going to be in the inaugural parade ladies and gentlemen make parades great again only donald trump control the media like that and that's why what is it that close to 80 plus percent of americans um feel have a majority negative opinion of tv reporters because they can't control
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
themselves. I'll be watching the Pete Eggsaid hearing today. I have a full report for you on tomorrow. You know how I like to handle these things. I don't want to be first. I like to digest them first. There've been, of course, a bunch of ridiculous attacks based on false allegations of Pete. Let me just say, before we get off the air, I worked with Pete. I've known Pete for over 10 years.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
But I just want to show you how these people are so full of shit, even on the anti-Trump right and the left. They make this stuff up. So here's the bad news first about the inauguration. You're asking me, do I think the inauguration is safe? After yesterday's briefing, my answer is probably not. And it pains me to say that. Now, it's one of those things I'm speculating.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
He's a man of integrity. He's a man of dignity. Any of these allegations that, oh, he showed up drunk at work. I work with Pete a lot. I was up in New York all the time. Those stories are false. They are made up. I never heard a single word about that. I am still friendly with all the people at Fox and Friends. My former producers were all Fox and Friends people. That is absolute bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
They're making this stuff up. Stick with Pete. Stand with Pete. Give a call to your senators. Make sure they're voting the right way. We need this guy.

The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
The inauguration, ladies and gentlemen, hasn't happened yet. I'm just afraid that the people in charge... at the top of the Secret Service, and certainly at the FBI, do not know what they're doing. In case you're asking, by the way, about bona fides in this situation, you know what? I'd ask you guys to take that picture off the wall, but I don't know how heavy it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
There is a picture on the wall right over there in the studio behind me of the Daily News. It is me at Barack Obama's inauguration where I... Is that too heavy? Look at Michael. Michael's like a big hockey dude. He's like seven feet tall. I wasn't sure. Yeah. Thank you, Michael. Here. OK, so here it is. You can see me in the corner right there in the law. Is that me right now? The other side.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Sorry. Everything's backwards. OK, that's me on my with my right hand. So thank you, Michael. I appreciate it. So there's the bona fides. That was a cover of the New York Daily News. My shoulders hurt now. That thing weighs five pounds. It looked like it weighed 50. Of course, Michael manhandles it. I'm like, ah, proving my point that these are all show muscles that don't even work anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's all for show. You want to kick my ass? You probably could. But I was responsible for the section of the presidential inaugural route for Barack Obama's first inauguration. And I was specifically responsible for the most important section. Again, you're free to FOIA the Secret Service and ask about this stuff. The section, as you can see in the picture, it's very straight, very straight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's like this. The thing is like this. Then they're like, is this straight? We'll put it up later. Very yesky, totally straight right there. I was responsible for the section where Barack Obama was to get out of the car. So let me just say this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I think if President Trump at this point, given the people in charge of the Secret Service at the top and their known incompetence, I think if President Trump were to stay in the car and forego the walk, I would be comfortable. I have not been briefed in on the security plan. I wish I was. I would like to review it myself because I've done it before and I want to see what they're looking at.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I know exactly what it's supposed to look like. Now, here's the bad news first, okay? I said I'd get to it. The FBI, who I don't trust as far as I could throw, the FBI, this is very short, this is a manager at the FBI, obviously responsible for a portion of the inaugural security. Here he is saying that they're not tracking any threats.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Do you really believe that there are no threats to the inauguration? Are you insane? Whatever the FBI says these days, I tend to believe the opposite. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Also, huge update on our new media imbecile of the day yesterday, John Fund, who wrote a completely false story about... Media asshole of the day. Nice. Nice. Look at the production team. Did not know that was coming. Got a little bit of an update on that. Big show today. A lot to talk about. Pete Hanks, that's up on the Hill. It's going as planned. Democrats saying stupid shit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Okay, that's the bad news. Why is that the bad news? Because again, I don't trust the FBI and I tend to believe given their credibility on prior issues, which is zero, I tend to believe the opposite of what they're saying. I would almost rather the FBI come out and say we're tracking very serious threats, because then I would believe they were doing something about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
The problem is there probably are very serious threats. Again, I have not been briefed in on the matter. Of course, he could be telling the truth, and I hope he is. I just don't trust him. Why do I not trust the FBI?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Because there's no reason to trust the FBI when it comes to anything involving Donald Trump, because they've been on the opposite side of the truth of nearly every major scandal involving the FBI. It's going to take a long time to rebuild trust once Kash Patel hopefully gets confirmed. Here's the good news. I'm going to tell you this part in advance, and I'm not biased here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Because I know this individual well, I promise you, I knew Ron Rowe well, the director too, and Ron screwed up bad, the acting director now, and he needs to go. It's not personal. Ron was very nice to me when I was on the detail. Ron is not qualified to be the secret service director. I'm sorry, based on what happened in Butler and what happened in Palm Beach. He's just not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
There's only so many failures where you're, and by the way, January 6th too, where he was also in the management chain. He's not qualified. The guy in charge of what we call WFO, the Washington field office, who is basically running on the ground inaugural security from a management perspective is this guy. His name is Matt McCool. His name is public. I'm not giving anything up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
He briefed yesterday, so it's not like I'm giving up his name. He gave a public briefing yesterday. I know Matt very well. I've got a very, very long work history with him, a lot longer than I had with Ron Rowe. Matt is a very competent guy. Matt is a very smart guy. Matt knows protection. Matt, very importantly, knows tactical work as well, has a lot of experience on the tactical side.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
He's overseeing this. Here he is during the briefing yesterday saying that they're looking at out-of-the-box thinking on this one. I hope he's correct, but check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that puts me at ease a little bit because, again, I know Matt to be a very competent guy. Just to clear up some of the jargon, not a knock on him, but, you know, professionals talk in jargon a lot. He refers to NSSEs, how they've done a lot of those. NSSEs are National Special Security Events. Why is that significant?
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
If something is designated a NSSE, a National Special Security Event, the Secret Service is in charge of the security plan. I have said in my reform proposals for the United States Secret Service, as much as I adore my prior colleagues in the Secret Service, the ones that didn't screw up in Butler and the ones that didn't screw up the management chain in Palm Beach and everything else.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
And on January 6th, the Secret Service should no longer be in charge of NSSEs. They shouldn't. They should be a part of it, but they should not be in charge. You have other federal entities that should be more of a complete task force model. The Secret Service does not have the bureaucratic pull to do the things they need to do to make people do the things they need to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I'm not sure that makes sense, but there are other entities that can take this away from the Secret Service. They should not be in charge of NSSEs. They should be in charge of presidential and vice presidential security and their families. That's it. All the other stuff needs to go away. If... President Trump and the team decide they ever want to talk about this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's something I plan on bringing up. I've been talking to members of Congress about it extensively. You want to keep the president and his family alive. There's only one way to do it. It's to dump everything else the Secret Service does and focus on keeping them alive. It's not complicated. Here's Matt McCool again addressing something that I am deeply concerned about. It is the air picture.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Pete making them look like idiots. We'll have full coverage on that today. Radio show tomorrow, all that stuff. But there's a lot going on. Preborn rescues unborn babies from abortion.

The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Folks, I can't tell you this enough. Explaining the damage drones can do and why they are a critical threat is very easy. Human beings can't fly. I can't say this enough. If you see a drone overhead and there is not a vigorous plan to take it down, countermeasures, electronic interference, whatever you plan on doing, netting, basically making it a harder target. I don't know what their plan is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
I'm just telling you, I'm hearing from sources it's not nearly as strong as they're claiming. Let's hope I'm wrong and that these sources, that there's updated information. Here's McCool again from the Washington field office talking about a drone plan saying, hey, don't be alarmed. We're going to have drones in the sky too. Okay, I hope he's right and I hope they've got a good plan. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
By the way, dude, it looks like, come on, dude, but he's a friend. He was a friend of mine. I don't talk to him. I say was, not that he's not now, but we don't really talk much anymore. He looks like he's cut out of Central Castle. And with a name like McCool, perfect, right, for this guy. He's as competent as he looks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
So let's hope that drone plan, if they can knock out the drone plan, I am convinced on the big six, they're all set. tactical, medical, chem bio, airborne, IED, fire, kind of geological disturbance stuff. I think on the other big six threats, they're good to go.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
It's this freaking air picture that really scares the shit out of me because we need, that's why I have my don't get dead shirt on today, okay? I don't mean to sound silly, but don't get dead. President Trump's not good to us if he gets hurt, okay? Now, why am I working? Don't get dead. This is our all-time bestseller, by the way.

Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
You donated a lot of money to charity through the shirt, so good for you. We made a lot of people happy. Why am I so worried about this situation? Gee, I don't know. The Daily Signal. Deep state gearing up. Nearly half of federal employees in the swamp plan to resist Trump poll fines. Half the federal employees.
The Dan Bongino Show
Will Trump's Inauguration Be Safe? (Ep. 2400)
Now do you understand why I'm so worried when the FBI comes out and goes, oh, we're not investigating any threats. And then you've got at least upper management at the Secret Service telling you, screaming at people up on Capitol Hill like Roe and his deputies. Folks, if nearly half of federal employees are planning on resisting Donald Trump, then they're not planning on protecting Donald Trump.

For decades, the Mises Institute's been calling out the dangers of reckless government spending and the Fed's destructive policies, warning about the 2008 crash and skyrocketing inflation long before the mainstream media admitted there was a problem. This is a must-watch film.

And the problem with the Democrats, and I'm not here to give them any kind of political advice, obviously. I mean, this is a Republican conservative MAGA show. This is not a Democrat advice show. However, this is good for us because we still have 100 days to take advantage of this. The talking points clearly went out on the men and women's sports issue, and the talking points are ridiculous.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
They're ridiculous because the Democrats have made the case. Follow me here. This is important. If I lose anyone in the chat, stop me. The Democrats have tried to make the case forever that the federal government should have a heavy footprint, a multibillion-dollar footprint in education, that it should be collectively controlled out of Washington, D.C.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Of course, the MAGA crowd, conservatives, and Republicans for decades have been saying education is a local issue. It is not the federal government's business if I want a homeschool, charter, school choice, whatever it may be. The talking points now went out. about the men and women's sports thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
And I want you to notice how now the Democrats have now completely flipped the script and done a 180 and are now suggesting that on the men and women's sports issue that this is actually a local issue. Sounds like what we've been talking about as conservatives for a long time.

Who said it? Lori Delk. May not be a Democrat advice show, but they could learn a thing or two from it. Yeah, they could. And by the way, this goes for us too, because we need to leverage our strengths and weaknesses, mitigate threats, and then take advantage of opportunities. Basic business SWOT analysis. We have an opportunity here. What's the opportunity?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
The opportunity is to learn from Democrat missteps. This is the kind of thing, this is a loser issue. Oh, you see, does anyone see where I'm going with this, by the way? What? A loser issue right now is a government shutdown while we build the reconciliation bill. It's a loser issue. It just is. By the way, the government doesn't even shut down. I hate to use their lingo. It's not a
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
The government doesn't really shut down. Essential government services will continue. That's kind of Democrat lingo forever. I'm just telling you, we're trying to build momentum for what Donald Trump calls one big, beautiful bill. We already have some of the votes. The process has already started. I don't see, this is an 80-20 issue.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
If you were to ask people and lay out the facts like I did in the beginning of the show, You see how I'm tying these two stories together? It's important you understand this. Learn from what they're doing. They are dying on this hill of men and women's sports, and they're now so off-message, they're making a case for local decisions in education. We've been making it for years.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
This is one of those things. Now we're going to what? Make their argument on the left? We have an opportunity to really cut government here for the first time. The unnecessary anchor of government hanging around our neck. We have a unique opportunity as a reconciliation process to do it. It is going to take a couple of months to get it together.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Let's not blow up the opportunity by showing the public that we're in total disarray. It just doesn't make sense. I'm telling you we can learn from this. I promise you this is not some... Stretch talking point I'm throwing in the show. We got a ton of stuff. Look, we got a ton of stuff to get to. It's an 80-20 issue. Nobody wants to see this right now. It makes no sense to die on the Hill.

This is the Jon Stewart clip I was talking about, by the way. You want to talk about getting your messaging off. I mean, completely off. Here is Jon Stewart, who was...

It'd be really incredible if we had a coordinated messaging machine in the United States lying to people. That'd be really terrible. Thank God we don't have that here. You just see what we just showed you? You see why the show flows the way it does?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
How the Democrats have a coordinated messaging machine, and now you can expect the media on men and women's sports to pick up the exact same talking point, which is what? Folks in the chat. Oh, this is a local issue. I thought education wasn't a local issue. Oh, it is now. They just can't get their sea legs under them. Learn a lesson from this.

Thank you, Blackout Coffee. So here's Elon here talking about a massive cyber attack that happened yesterday on his X platform. Me, having been an investor in the tech space, I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not the tech guy. However, because I've invested my own money in a lot of these entities, I've been kind of learning about it over the years and how DDoS attacks work.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
how intermediaries can block them. This was serious because X has some really, really good security measures in place. So for them to be able to hit on this type of scale, what I'm getting at is the people who are hitting him really, really were coordinating this. This wasn't some kid in a basement somewhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Here's Elon on where he thinks these IP addresses connected to the cyber attack on X yesterday originated from. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
There you go. So, folks, these things are not easy to do. What you basically do is these different IP addresses, which are like the DNA of a unique computer address, what they do is they all coordinate ahead at the same time on a website, meaning to overload the servers. So those things have to be blocked. It takes a really, really long time to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
These are not the kind of thing, well, I mean, if you're really sophisticated with a lot of money, you could run out of a basement, but you're going to need assets. Someone has targeted Elon, and like I said, I know he's got top flight security, but this is getting serious. I mean, they have it listed on a thing as Elon derangement syndrome, and I can't disagree.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Here, Larry Kudlow on the show lists the attacks going on against Elon's businesses right now. It's not just X, but it's elsewhere. And I'm going to bring up something after this about this whole myth out there that every single person involved in government is there for money. Really? After this? Are you sure? Check this out.

Listen, gents, ladies out there in the Bongino Army, you know I love you guys. I'm not going to spin your wheels. There are a lot of people in government, a lot. I don't know a percentage. I'm not even going to dare throw one out. who were there for one reason.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
They are there, maybe they couldn't find something in the private sector, they figure out that they can use their position to gain influence, they'll use that influence later to make money. It is the least surprising story in human history that people leverage power to make money. Lord Acton was correct. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
However, there are people, and a lot, I'll just name a few right now, who I can tell you from personal experience, if you think they're working in government to make money, then I'm sorry, but I really can't help you. You're just making that up. You have zero evidence that's true. Elon Musk, last time I checked, do you guys know his net worth? Can you look that up?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I think it's something like $200 to $400 billion, depending on the stock price of Tesla on any given day. What's his net worth? What does it say? We're looking this up in live time here. I love that we can throw this stuff on the screen. This is really cool. What is it? About 200 billion? It's $342 billion? $342.4 billion. That's like a rounding error. Guys, $400 million rounding error.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
You know what? I'll take a tenth of the rounding error. Do you really believe that this guy left this incredible life he has tech genius, rocket guy, all of this stuff. He left this to go make money in the government because he needs contacts? Elon's just the high profile case. I'll give you a few more. You know Sean Duffy? Sean Duffy, the now Secretary of Transportation.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Yes, obviously Evita works here, but I don't say this because of any personal relationship with her or her dad. Sean Duffy was doing great. Had a nice show on Fox. People loved it. Family was doing great. They got a lovely house up in the Northeast. They go to work every day. Big family. Do you have any idea what they had to sacrifice to take the job as the Secretary of Transportation? It was bad.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
He's not there for contacts or money or connections. Here's another one. Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary. Howard Lutnick, very wealthy guy. You think he left his job over there to go make $200,000 a year in government at Kenner Fitzgerald? What about Scott Besant, the Treasury Secretary? Guys. How about Dan Bongino? I hadn't heard anything about him. He mentioned another guy.

I don't know anything about him. I'm just telling you all, it is always, always remain an air on the side of skeptical of people with power. Always. Me included. Air on the side of skeptical, and that way you'll never be disappointed. But don't become so skeptical that you lose your faith that there's anything out there can be changed or fixed at any time. I'm not trying to preach.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I'm not your preacher. We had Father Marty here this morning blessing the studio, and we appreciate that. I'm not a preacher. I love Jesus very much, but I'm not very good at preaching, because I fall short sometimes myself. But when you lose faith that change is possible at all, you lose hope. You ever read the book by Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
It's his story of the concentration camps in Nazi Germany. and how so many people he could tell when they were about to die. I'm not talking about the ones that were killed. Obviously, they're dead. But some were kept alive and were used for basically labor.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
And he said he could tell every single time when someone was about to give up and what they call run into the wire, because the fence was electrified so that if you wanted to kill yourself, you'd run into the wire. And he said he could tell right away. They just gave up hope. They just gave up hope.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
And the whole premise of the book, which was, I've talked about it often, which is a generational bestseller, Man's Search for Meaning, is that meaning very simply, and he's not trying to be a poet in a book, he says it many times, is just hope that you can fix something and that tomorrow you'll get back to some sense of joy and freedom. And that'll keep you alive. Don't lose faith, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
There are people out there, I promise, who are in this for the right reasons. While we're on the topic of Elon, here's the reason that the left has really hyped up the attacks against him. I mean attacks in the, again, not in the metaphoric sense. There were actual attacks against his businesses, and I'm sure there were threats coming in, too, to him as well. Here's Elon on the GAO fraud numbers.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Folks, the Democrats do not want you to know how much is going on behind the scenes to take your tax money. and shuttle it off to these kind of black box operations that are partisan. The intent is partisan. It's not to help the American people. That's why they're freaking out. Check this out.

She did this little thing.

She was like Plastic Man creeping through there. Very good. I was impressed right there. A little jujitsu you did there. Here's what's going on here. Justin, can you bump up to Trump on Bartiromo about Social Security? I'm going to tie these together. It wasn't the end. I was going to play this later in the show. But I'm going to show you what's going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Here's the reason, as I said to you over the last two weeks talking about the Doge and why the Democrats are freaking out over Elon, that they will defend Maybe not openly and say, hey, we defend fraud, but they don't want you to find out about the fraud in government.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Because folks, when you find out how much money has been sent to government and sent out to unauthorized recipients, dead people, people not entitled to government disability, you are going to be stunned. And now, let me put this out to the chat. Let's say Elon, in the end, when the doge work is done, say he finds his trillion dollar number. Forget it, say he finds half, 500 billion.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Can you imagine what $500 billion in fraud looks like? Do you have any idea what $500 billion in fraud looks like? What's the first question you're asking in the chat? Who the hell's policing this stuff? Exactly. And then people start to say to themselves, wait, you're telling me that this $5 trillion to $7 trillion government enterprise we're running right now
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
more when you factor in our long-term entitlement obligations, that there's almost no mechanism to stop rampant amounts of fraud that may be a tenth or even more of the federal budget every year, then you start to question everything. That's why Donald Trump is being very tactical about this. Now, listen, we've obviously had President Trump and I, we're going to have to eventually
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
engage in a pretty massive reform of entitlement programs. They're just designed poorly, and the people who paid into them deserve their money back. They paid into them. And the way it's designed now is terrible. But President Trump is being tactical about this. Here's President Trump on Maria Bartiromo's show talking about Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. He knows this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
He knows if he can show the American voter first that these programs are not being policed very well at all, the systems are antiquated, that maybe if we can get the fraud out and say, look, we got some of your money back, that then they'll build the initiative for a long-term reform that'll stabilize these programs. It's actually a very smart approach. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
And I'm gonna try to explain this as plainly as possible so we deal with, again, transactional politics. I'm a plus one, minus one guy on the spreadsheet. I have defended Congressman Nassi in the past. If you watch my shows, you know that. In this case, in my humble opinion, I'm gonna throw that out there in the beginning, because I owe it to you, I don't think he's correct. And here's why.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
All right, as I say often, I'm not here to tell you everything is the chess checkers analogy, I'm not. Sometimes stuff gets done and it doesn't go well and you backtrack and you say, hey, we screwed up. I'm reasonably confident this is. He understands that
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
okay, going back to the beginning of the show, because everything has a reason in the show, he understands that you can have all the ideas you want. We need to reform Social Security. I've said it a thousand times. Great idea, Dan. What am I going to say next? What's the plan? The public's desire to reform these programs right now candidly speaking, is not there. It isn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I can tell every time I mention Social Security and your money being stolen, I get angry letters from MAGA supporters who are angry at me for recognizing the obvious. Donald Trump understands, President Trump gets, that the public is not there right now. And he's doing this deliberately. He figures that we can fix this thing if we can first point out and take the low-hanging fruit.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
And then maybe people will be more open to saying, okay, I trusted you to fix the waste in there, fraud and abuse. You did. Now let's take the next step and stabilize these programs that some people rely on, a lot of people. Let's stabilize them using a more efficient and effective economic model. It's pretty smart. Why'd you zip out to the shot there? You just like playing with the cameras?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Justin's just like, because I felt like it, and I'm the producer of the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
You like that? It is. Do that again. I like that. Do I have a good side? I don't, right? They're both bad. Yeah, I think I'm getting to that point in my life where there is no good side anymore. I've run out of good sides. I'm enjoying, though, the new, what do we have, three angles? There's another one, too, right there. Do I have to shave in the next job? I don't think so, right? I'm kidding.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I think we're going to keep this look. All right, speaking of, I know, I shaved this morning. That's my shoulder. Okay, yes, that's my face. Thank you. Wow, that's an extreme close-up. I don't know if I'm comfortable with that. So you go, of course, what does he do? He goes in closer. These guys. Screw. Look at this. Even Jasmine's in there like, what is wrong with this show?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Nothing's wrong with the show. Oh, that's not me. That's not me. That's Frank. That's not me. Frank's going to be very busy over the next few years. That's not me. Anita, I think you're taking the Frank hat there, right? Anita, are you going to be here on Friday? I think you are, right? Speak, come and do it. I'll show you your Burger King thing. I have one. You gave me two.

I kept the other one over in the other house. Back to the show. Because on the show, sometimes I get easily distracted because I have so much to talk about. Listen, this is not a self-praise moment. Maybe it is. I told you at the time Senator J.D. Vance from the amazing state of Ohio was going to be an incredible vice president. Why? Well, listen, it wasn't hard.

I'm not going to tell you I had some Stygian witches like, give me the eye. It was just easy. When you watched him debate, who was he running against? Tim Ryan at the time?

They have this thing called the Continuing Resolution. Basically, the reconciliation bill that Donald Trump is gonna, President Trump and the Republican Congress plans on using to do all kinds of wonderful things. Secure the border, reinforce our military, cut taxes, all of that stuff. That is not what this is. That reconciliation bill, the process has just begun. It's not even close to done.

Here is Vice President Vance, who never seems to get caught off guard by a question or anything else because he's smart. The guy's like an encyclopedia of information. Here he is. He's just nuking a heckler, interrupts his speech at the National League of Cities. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the way it's done. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
He never gets caught. Did you notice that? He never gets caught. Have you guys worked in mid or mid-sized, big-sized corporations? I'm sure many of you have in the chat right there. I'm looking at the chat right there on the screen. You ever have that one guy who he's just in the room, he just commands attention and presence, and he has that power that you can't really put.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
It's like the je ne sais quoi. It's typically because he just has a feel. He has such a comfortability level with the business and just has a general knowledge level. I guess what I'm trying to say is he has an answer for everything. But I don't mean that in a snarky kind of toolbox way. He has an answer for everything because he just does a lot of homework. That's J.D. Vance, the Vice President.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
He's been in so many different spaces between the Marine Corps, tech investing, politics, the United States Senate, and he does his homework that he just never gets caught. And I saw that early on. If you go back and watch his debates against Congressman Tim Ryan, you'll see what I'm talking about. The writing was on the wall. It didn't take some political genius to see it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
And because of this team of President Trump and Vice President Vance, again, going back to the beginning of the show, we have a plan. It's nice to talk about stuff, folks, but you've got to do. Someone asked me the other day, a friend of mine, you all know who he is. He said, why are you doing this? And I said, what I tell everyone, because it's the same answer, because it's the only answer.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
You can't tell your audience to go out and do stuff. Do, do, talk is cheap, do. And then when it comes to you doing stuff, you say, I didn't mean me, I meant everyone else. You're like a phony. President Trump and Vice President Vance had a plan. They're enacting the plan. All I'm asking of his political opponents, and even people in his own party who disagree with his plan, what's your plan?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
If you're a congressman or anyone else, what is your plan? Lay it out. I promise you I'm open to hearing it. Send it to me. I will air it on the show. Tell me what, if you don't have a plan, you're saying that plan sucks, but I don't have a replacement. Okay. Here's what I mean. Cue up VA for me. Here's a CBS immigration report.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I'll get to that in a second because it's going to matter. This continuing resolution, which would continue government spending effectively at its current levels, maybe a little more, is, yes, everybody agrees, is not what we want. Folks, it does very little to cut government spending. Everybody understands that. Nobody's lied about it. Everybody's saying this is not great.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
You want to see what a plan that you actually enact and do and follow through on looks like? President Trump was very clear. We are going to stop illegal crossings at our border. We're going to stop it to a trickle. Well, look, it's only been less than two months, and even CBS has to acknowledge, man, we can't even find anyone out there. You doubt me? Listen to yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
That's what a do looks like and not just a talk. So I'll end today as I started. I am open to anything. I do not get emotional about people. They've been plus ones and minus ones, and that's okay. I'm just asking you for something very simple.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
If you don't like plan A, then you are obligated to present plan B. If you don't have a plan B, you're just obstructing plan A. You are not an effective implementer of the do. You are an effective implementer of the talk. Fair enough? Folks, thanks so much again for tuning in. Please check out Haley's show, H-A-Y-L-E-Y, Haley Karania, exclusively on the video show on Rumble, not on YouTube.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
between Republican Congressman Tom Massey President Trump and the MAGA audience. I'm going to give you both sides of the argument. I'm going to let you formulate your own opinion. But I'm going to give you an honest take also on what I believe, because I owe you an opinion too, because at least for the next four days, this is an opinion show. Today's show brought to you by Beam.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
So you may be saying to yourself, okay, well, Massey's right. Massey's saying we have to stop this right now. We are not spending this amount of money on voting against it. The problem is, while that is a nice theory and a correct one that we should slow down government spending dramatically before we go bankrupt, eventually you need a plan to enact it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
It's like saying, you know what, listen, I want to rush for 200 yards in this football game on Sunday, and you're the running back. That's a great plan and a laudable goal, and everybody thinks that's fantastic and they agree with it. The problem is you've got a broken ankle and you can't play. You can think that all you want, but it's not a realistic plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
So the problem I have with Massey's – not his – I don't have a problem with his end goal, let's cut government spending at all. He's correct. The problem is the mechanics of what he's trying to do requires actual oil and gears, and he doesn't have them. He doesn't have the votes. You need a majority of the House of Representatives. He's by himself on the Republican side.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
He doesn't have the votes. In other words, there are Republicans out there who unfortunately have said, we're kicking this can down the road until we get to reconciliation. There's no votes. So you may say, well, Dan, at least we should take a stand. Okay, let me walk you through what happens then. We, quote, take a stand on this on the CR, which is a bad bill. I get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
You don't need to tell me anywhere, comment. I agree. There's no need to remind me that the levels of government spending are catastrophic. I did... About, I don't know, a 20-minute segment yesterday on my radio show, how we are going de facto bankrupt. You are correct. The problem is I live in the world as it is, not in the world as it should be. I said the same thing with the ouster of McCarthy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
We need a plan. We need a plan. For you to oust him without a plan made no sense. And then people beat me up and then realized later on I was right. You need a plan. The problem with this plan is let's say every Republican right now every Republican were to say, we are against this thing. There's too much government spending. Yes, unity. That's great. Awesome.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
They're against it, and they get a different bill. We have the numbers to get a different bill that dramatically cuts spending. Great. Move it to the Senate. Then what happens? Why is the bill going to go down in the Senate? Because we don't have enough votes to overcome a filibuster. So, Dan, what you're saying is the Democrats still have power to scuttle this thing? Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
So if Massey scuttles this thing and say him and a couple other Republicans say no, the Democrats are going to go to Speaker Johnson and Senator Thune and say, hey, we'll give you some votes, but we want this? That's exactly what's going to happen. I'm not telling you it's fun, it's cool, it's awesome. I'm telling you it sucks. You are correct. Unfortunately, the world sucks sometimes.

Go to shopbeam.com slash Bongino. Use code Bongino for 47% off your order. This is a big deal. It has exploded on Twitter. It's about the CR, continuing resolution. And I feel an obligation. I actually threw this in last minute. to give you guys the facts so that you know what's going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Things about the world and politics suck. You've got to deal with the suck and find a way to overcome the suck. So Dan, how do we overcome the suck? I'm glad you asked. Guy, am I driving people crazy with this? No, I'm not. That is the wrong answer, Producer Guy. Folks in the chat, do you want me to leave this here? Is this boring? Yes or no? Bob Gino. There is a plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
The way to get around Democrat obstacles is the reconciliation bill. Because if they use the reconciliation bill, which is not this bill, okay, thank you. Guy is wrong again. Guy is wrong again. Yes! Wrong, he is totally wrong. I just want that on the record. Sorry, I just wanted it on the record in the studio. for the last time that Producer Guy is wrong. It's a long walk into the studio.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I just burned calories. Because there is a path to fixing this thing. The reconciliation bill uses a process called reconciliation. So if we can just get there and be patient and deal with a few more months of this crap bill with government spending, we don't need to overcome a filibuster in the Senate. All we need is a majority using reconciliation, where we can actually implement the doge cuts.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Guys, although Guy is wrong again, it's on the record. The studio is great. In the old studio, we couldn't have done that because it's so tight in there, we couldn't move around. Yes, I did. I know. I do have to say on the record, I blame Guy for the fungus last week. I had a head cold and I blamed him. It was not him. It turned out to be allergies like bad.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I know because I got my blood work back. So apologies to producer Guy on a good note. It was not him who passed me whatever deadly virus I thought I had. I did not. But he's definitely wrong on this one. And that's why I don't agree. And I have defended Congressman Massey in the past. Just go back and watch the shows. I don't get emotional about these things.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
He has been amazing on the January 6th pipe bomber case. Incredible. He is wrong here. He's just, I'm sorry, he's wrong. He doesn't have a tactical plan to cut spending, I just gave it to you. Get rid of this CR, deal with it for three more months, move on to reconciliation, and fight the fight there where you actually have the numbers. Does that make sense? Anybody disagree with me?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
If you think that I'm a toolbox and a jerk right now, and you're like, yeah, that's just crazy, tell me in a chat. All I'm asking you is if you believe that, tell me what your plan is. Tell me what your plan is to get over the Senate filibuster. If you have it, I'd love to hear it. Everybody, you know, everybody can talk a big game.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
The problem is you have to have a plan to implement it on the field. All right, moving on because I got a lot more to get to. Guy's like, you haven't even got to the show yet. I know. President Trump does have a plan. He has laid out a 100-day agenda, which we're not finished with yet, that has been incredibly transformative.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Because everybody's throwing around the term, that guy's a hypocrite, that guy's a fraud, that guy's a... We'll see. You guys can form your own opinions. By the way, thank you for your patience this week as we... This is four more shows left, and every one matters to me, so I really, really appreciate your patience dealing with me and the transition, the new studio and everything.

And I could make a strong case to you that at least in my lifetime following politics, I'm 50, been following politics 35 years, maybe a little less than about 15, 16 years old. I've never seen anything like this, folks. He said what he was going to do. We are going to stop illegal immigration at the border. Oh, my gosh. Look, it stopped. I mean, we could show you the numbers.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I think we got a segment on this. Oh, we do. We have a segment on this later in the show. The numbers are ridiculous. They've fallen off the face of the earth. He said, I am going to do X, and X happened. He said, I am going to do X on the economy. I'm going to bring back in onshore businesses into the United States. He's held a press conference once a week.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Apple, Taiwan semiconductors, all bringing back business into the United States. I'm just telling you, you may not like it. Maybe that's not your thing. Maybe you want businesses offshore. He said he was going to do it, and he did it. He has a plan. He said, I am going to disrupt and stop deep state weaponization of government. Look who he's appointed. I'm keeping myself out of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
The few more days I have with you, look who he's appointed. One of the people he appointed isn't even a Republican. Well, it wasn't, Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard was not, she ran for president as a Democrat. President Trump was so open to change, he said, I'm gonna appoint people outside of my partisan sphere, someone else, because I believe this person is a change agent. And look what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, on her ex-profile. Per President of the United States directive, I've revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norm Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Andy Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the infamous Hunter Biden disinformation letter.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
What do all of those people have in common? Let's go to the chat. Who gets it first? What do all of those people have in common? Go Tulsi, says John DeSalvo. Yeah, you're darn right, John. What do they all have in common? Yes, they've all weaponized the government and been involved in using their positions for partisan intent. That is exactly correct.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
Donald Trump has said, I am going to stop that, and he's doing it right now. You don't have to agree with it. This is kind of my issue. And I'll say again, to kind of just spill it back to Massey, in case you think this is any way personal. I'm telling you, I've defended him before. And if he turns out to be a plus one on other issues, terrific.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
I'm just telling you with this specific issue, this is a minus one. This is not for me. I want a plan. It is not emotional. It's passionate, but not emotional. Give me the plan. Donald Trump said, I'm running on this MAGA plan. The MAGA plan is happening. All I'm asking for, fair enough, is, OK, you have an alternate vision? What is your plan? Oh, I don't have one. Well, that's not a plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
By the way, here was Joe Biden in a flashback here. You talk about weaponizing intelligence for those people that are going to attack. Here was President Biden suggesting that the guy who was duly elected president, President Donald Trump, multiple times, that he shouldn't get intel briefings? So please, spare us the lectures on weaponizing government. We're trying to de-weaponize government.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Deep State Purge Intensifies (Ep. 2439)
De-weaponize government. It's unfortunate you don't see it the same way. Check this out.

Thank you so much. Hey, they want you to believe inflation's just an accident, but is it? Every time inflation spikes, your savings could shrink, your paycheck buys less. And just about everything from groceries to gas gets more expensive. But is this just a coincidence, or is the Federal Reserve policy at work? You need to check out Playing With Fire, Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve.

He might slip and say something? Slip and say something? This is from the king of slipping and saying something. Excuse me. Not the fungus, definitely, just a note. Not Guy's fault. This is what a talkback's for, by the way. Oh, I know. Thank you. Guy said, I just fake cough, but Guy wants me to get used to using it. It's only four more days, brother. It's only four more days.

And you empower Donald Trump for three more years by the time these things are done. Don't freak out over it. It sucks that they can do this. These temporary restraining orders nationally are a joke. Clarence Thomas has been fighting against these things forever.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
But wouldn't it be great if not only the executive, it happens to be Donald Trump for the next four years, is empowered constitutionally, and these national temporary restraining orders get tossed out too? That's why I'm telling you. Move fast. Rock them, sock them robots, keep it going, and keep the Democrats on their heels. The Rock'em Sock'em Roblox will continue, folks.

There is a major thing coming. You think the fight started now over Guatemalan sex changes and USAID? I'm going to tell you, as not bigger, the USAID fight is huge because it's the deep state piggy bank. However, and if you missed my interview with Mike Benz yesterday, it'll be on the podcast channel next weekend on radio. It was amazing. Benz blew the door off this whole thing.

Elon Musk is moving on to the Pentagon next. Folks, you think we've had liberal communist backlash now? But, Dan, Democrats don't like defense spending. Hold on. Time out. I'm not talking about this. This isn't a Democrat-Republican show. It's an anti-swamp show. There are a lot of weapons programs that don't work, where billions of dollars have been wasted.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Those weapons programs are made in very specific congressional districts. Wait till that waste gets uncovered. You think you just see in the beginning of the backlash. So get ready, buckle up. Let me take a quick break and I'll show you what I mean. A video by Secretary Hegseth that went out yesterday that he's done with this too. Folks, how well do you sleep at night?

If you're here expecting a, you know, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, we're going to leave swampy Republicans alone show, this isn't the show. You know my adage on the show.

The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Democrats are the cause of all your problems, even though Republicans may not always be the solution. And when they're not the solution, I'm going to point it out. Defense spending is going to cause an absolute riot in D.C. Do you have any idea how many congressmen are making a fortune
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
off of donors, future lobbying careers, off major military industrial complex weapons programs that don't work in their district. I'm not knocking the defense industry. Thank you for producing the AR-15 I own. Thank you for producing the world's best tanks. I'm not knocking you. I do want an efficient military, however. And we have been wasting a lot of money. Here's Secretary Hegseth.

Secretary Hegg says overseas now, PT, and with our brave men and women in the military over there. By the way, hat tip, United States Marine Corps for actually passing an audit. I love Marines. I really am. I have to be candid with you. I'm jealous. The fact that I never went in the Marine Corps is a sin. I should burn in Hades for that, really.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
You guys and ladies out there who chose the Marine Corps, you're the best. There's nothing like a Marine, man. They were a Marine before. You could be the CEO of IBM or whatever. It doesn't mean you're a Marine first. It's like Texas, you know, Texas the same way. You ask people where they're from, from this kind of, yes, Texas. Marines are Marines first. God bless you, Marine Corps.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Folks, this is going to cause an uproar. If you have a weapons system from the 40s that doesn't work, but it brings millions of dollars in jobs to your district, but it's costing the United States money, there's no way these congressmen are going to let it go, and it's not a Democrat or Republican thing. It's a swamp thing. It's how the swamp works. We have to stand strong.

How bad is it when a left-wing lunatic like Jon Stewart, big gun grabber, Jon Stewart, yes, the same guy, the comedian guy. He's on a panel. Have you ever seen this clip with Biden's number two with the Pentagon? This is not new. This is obviously from a while ago. Jon Stewart, the left winger, is asking her, hey, man, how is it that you guys can't pass an audit?

This guy's a lefty. He's a liberal. He's asking this Biden Pentagon official, where the hell are these billions of dollars? He's like, I don't know. But an audit and waste fraud. You see how they play the euphemisms game? They dance around the word games like, you know, an illegal alien becomes an undocumented visitor to the United States or some ridiculous euphemism. They do this all the time.

It's a simple question. The way to beat this, by the way, is to always, always bring it back to ground level. Don't let them elevate the conversation using words into things unconnected to what's happening on the ground. Don't let them do it. Go right back to the question you started with. I didn't ask you what words you're using or any other stuff or dancing around it. Where is the money?

When I get back in this, we're going to go into our, what was that? Thanks. Wait one more time. Thanks. That poor guy. We've never heard from him again. After we outed him on the show as a moron, the next segment is going to be important. I'm going to document for you quickly the judicial warfare going on around the country. And I have a proposal.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Granted, I mean it hyperbolically, but it's meant to accentuate a point about the liberals defending these judges right now who are clearly acting as legislators and executives and not judges at all. I'm going to ask him a simple question. If Trump were to do X, would you be happy with it? Hey, one of my favorite traditions is choosing New Year's resolutions.

Ladies and gentlemen, time to start your day with a piping hot cup of the official coffee of the Bongino Army, Black Owl Coffee.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Because they're premium beans. They're not these lower grade crap beans that these other places shove down your throat. It's horrible, that other stuff. This is the real deal. It is a bold, never bitter coffee using premium beans. I personally recommend it. The folks at Blackout Coffee ship within 48 hours of roasting. So do me a favor. Tastes amazing.

All right, back to the show. Judicial warfare, ladies and gentlemen, is going on right now. This is not new. Listen, man, everybody knew this was coming. It's not a good thing. It's a horrible thing. But it's not a surprise, okay? You go to a Freddy Krueger movie, you know there's going to be Wolverine-like razor blades slicing up some young kids who fall asleep.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
It's a horrible thing, even in the movies. But you knew what you were getting into. When we won, I told you prior to the inauguration of Donald Trump, I told you prior to the election, if we win, the Democrats will impeach Donald Trump. Al Green's already trying. They're talking about impeaching Elon Musk now, which is freaking insanity.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
And I told you they would be in the courts if Donald Trump clipped his fingernails. They'd be like, he's not authorized to do that. They're doing it. It sucks, period. However, there is a bright side to this. The bright side is a small one, but they're going to sue a thousand times. I think we could win 850 to 900 of them. They'll probably sue more.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
It is going to reestablish the power of the executive that the Constitution and the founding fathers intended. And then they're going to have to deal with an empowered Donald Trump for three and a half more years. or maybe three after these court cases resolve. And they're wasting a ton of time on every little thing defending the indefensible.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Here's just a brief update about what happened just in the last few days. They are working overtime to make sure this government gravy train continues. They're shopping. They're doing this judge shopping thing, folks. Do you know about this? Here is Elon Musk, who now goes by Harry Bolzey. Some of you will get that, by the way. Harry Ballsay.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
It's kind of like, by the way, the McGroin crew out there, I would be disappointed if you can, hold on, keep that on the screen. If there is not a Big Balls McGroin yet, there is? Oh, if there isn't, forget it. McGroins, we're going to have to divorce. I'm sorry. Is there a Big Balls McGroy? Someone please point it out in the chat. Because if there isn't, there better be one quick.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Anita's not here today. Speak the truth is out there. But there's got to be a Big Balls McGroy. So we've got Harry Balls. Harry Balls, otherwise known as Elon Musk. You know what's crazy? I'm not messing with you guys. I actually, for a second, even though they told me this, got a little confused there. I'm like, who the hell is Harry Bolt?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Even though before the show, I'm like, dude, I just want to warn you, Elon changed his thing. You recut it this way. There you go. Good job, Justin. So Harry Ball's Elon Musk is like, they're judge shopping. You know what judge shopping is? Judge shopping, folks, is when you go and sue in a regional area of the country that has a large majority of Democrat appointed judges on the bench.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
It's really simple. Where would you go? You go to New York and the West Coast. They're not going to sue in Florida courts. They go up to the Northeast. That's why you keep hearing, like, Massachusetts judge, Rhode Island judge. Not only that, the appeals courts are also stacked with Democrats. So this is what they're doing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
This is why Clarence Thomas has been speaking out about the national restraining orders. How a judge in New York can give a restraining order for a congressional district in Wyoming is ridiculous. Clarence Thomas has been warning about this forever. This Amuse on Twitter is talking about this lawfare too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
How this Obama-appointed judge threatened Trump and his team with arrest if they don't restore every dime of funding that had been paused or canceled. Folks, my recommendation is Donald Trump should ignore this. This judge is obviously not acting constitutionally at all. It should be ignored. But you can't order the executive to spend. I mean, you've effectively usurped the power of the executive.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
So I was joking yesterday about this gentleman who has become a national hero, standing up to the raving banshees at this government building, Max Seedwaters. I need you to identify yourself. Immediately, this guy, what did you call him, Justin? The most unbothered man in America. So because he's, you know, this guy's probably a low-key guy and doesn't want his name out there, I understand.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Now, before I get to the next, I'm going to play you a video by crazy. Big Balls McGroin is here. Big Balls. I knew we had one. I knew it. I was thinking about this on the Monday show. I'm like, we better have a Big Balls McGroin or the McGroin Army is losing their influence, man. Thank you. You guys, I knew the McGroins would be there. I knew. You guys and ladies are the best. That's fantastic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Folks, threatening with arrest. Who's going to arrest them? The marshals? You guys know who the U.S. marshals work for? Department of Justice, that is under the, oh yeah, executive branch. Donald Trump's going to order his own arrest? This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. Here's my suggestion before I play this video.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Again, I'm speaking hyperbolically, obviously, but it's meant to accentuate a point. We are a constitutional republic. This judge is clearly making up powers he does not have. He does not have power to demand the president's
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
spend money i mean what if let me give you an example of what i mean quick sorry but this is so important the president finds a fraudulent payment to a terrorist group planning an attack on the united states can a judge order that payment be made of course not dan what's the difference there's no difference donald trump's the executive he says we have a problem in the executive branch hold on to these payments the judge can't order these he's just making it up
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
So here's my suggestion. If liberals are OK with judges making up constitutional powers, are they OK with Donald Trump fabricating executive powers? How about this? How about Donald Trump in the East Room of the White House sets up a courtroom like remember the Batman movie? Scarecrow has the courtroom. What was it? The Bane one was at the Dark Knight or whatever. That's what we need to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
We need to set up a courtroom. Donald Trump can sit there. He can even wear like the wigs they wear in the UK court system. And he can just start making judicial decisions. He can't do that, bro. The judge can't do it either. What's the difference? If the judge is the executive, why can't the executive be the judge? Ask your stupid liberal friends that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
This is clearly a made-up, fabricated power. So you're telling me, Joe Biden, despite being told by the Supreme Court, you cannot pay off student loans with taxpayer money without congressional authorization. Joe Biden says, middle finger, bro, I'll do what I want. That that's okay. But Donald Trump's saying, don't spend money because we have a problem. That's not okay. Just to be clear.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Here is Democrat communist Norm Eisen. I really can't stand this guy. Just go and research major Democrat scandals of the last few years, and you'll see the attachment to the legal lawfare space and people like Norm Eisen. Here is Norm Eisen, deep state hack, bragging.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
on MSNBC about basically burning the Constitution and using lawfare to stop Donald Trump from cleaning up any aspect of government, putting the Democrats in a big dilemma.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
So I said, listen, we need to give this guy a medal under the moniker Fanu Lanu. Finula new cat turd. I asked him to make it go viral. I was kind of kidding, but he did. It was trending on Twitter all night. You can go look it up. Finula new is a law enforcement term. When you don't know the name of the person you're targeting, it stands for first name, unknown, last name, unknown.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
This guy is a deep state hack like you've never seen before. Notice how this guy, again, has no problem, by the way. Appears to have no problem with judicial lawfare where people are dragged through the process to ruin their lives. And yet when Donald Trump sees that there may be some partisan bias in a supposedly unpartisan or nonpartisan FBI and wants to weed it out, Norm Eisen goes crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
And he uses all the keywords, doxing, illegal access to our data. He's making all of this up. Folks, they are going to die on this hill and Norm Eisen is too freaking stupid to understand the corner he's in. He is never, ever going to win this argument. He is living in the era of Walter Cronkite where they think they own the narrative. You, here's a perfect Batman analogy now.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Remember Bane in that scene? Do you feel like you're in charge? How he puts his hand, palm up on the guy's shoulder. Do you feel like you're in charge? Norm, buddy, you can sue all you want, daddy-o. You may win one out of ten. But as Rock'em Sock'em continues, you win one out of ten, we do 20 more executive orders. You win two out of 20, we do 30 more executive orders.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
You win three out of 30, we do 50 more executive orders. We've got the House. We've got the Senate. And we do at least have a small advantage on the Supreme Court. We don't need to win them all. You ever hear, you know, you don't need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun Michael. Norm's too stupid to figure this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Instead of marshalling their forces right now, the Democrats, getting their donors together, their email list, their activist base, and selectively picking fights they think they can win. They're doing this shotgun birdshot approach, which is making them look chaotic. It's wasting assets.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
They're going to lose most of them, and they're going to empower Donald Trump moving forward to reestablish the executive branch. It's going to be probably the biggest backfire of the presidency for them. Here's another one. Kyle Becker on Twitter. Another judge who's under the delusion the American people elected him president.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Judge Kenneth Gonzalez, appointed by Obama, big shocker, has told the president of the United States that he can't deport Venezuelan gang members to Gitmo. This is funny. It's just like that this judge thinks in the end he's going to win this. You're going to lose. It's another temporary restraining order, by the way. You're going to lose.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
These judges, you can tell right away by who appointed them, probably 90% of the time, what they're going to do. The law is meaningless to these people. Venezuelan gang members eating the country illegally.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
gang members no no you got to keep them here so they can what rape and terrorize and kill people for real this is the hill you guys want to die on you sure these are not serious people judge you throw in a judge in front of your name means absolutely nothing if the presidency means nothing this low-level judge means absolutely nothing
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
So out of respect for this gentleman, we're going to call him for new Lenu. Fanula new, you are a national hero. We all love you. Thank you for standing up for sanity against the raving Democrat lunatics. So for those of you tuned in to decipher what Fanula new man, that is it. And a big hat tip to cat turd for making that go viral. The guy's got crazy juice on X man. All right.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
I'm telling you, POTUS, President Trump should set up a little court in the East Room of the White House. If this is where we are now, the executive's not the executive, the courts are the executive, well, the executive should just do what they're doing. Of course, the FOing, folks, is going to continue. I told you this. The way to defeat this stuff is they want to sue.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
They're the ones spending the money or the time. No, we're donating our time. It doesn't matter. You can only be in one courtroom at a time. They want to sue on 10 executive orders. Issue 100 more. We win. You lose on numbers. So here's what I'm hoping to make a daily FO segment. The Democrats F8. They F'd around. Now they're finding out. And every single day, they're finding out more.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Here's a good one. I didn't cover this yesterday. I'm sorry. I know a lot of you asked, given obviously my prior line of work. President Trump ordered the Secret Service to give him every bit of information about the two assassination attempts against him. Folks, I told you a long time ago, it's now being reported by Axios and others and Susan Crabtree.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
The Iranian threat via drone to President Trump was real. I've got to tell you something. I usually care about feedback on this a lot. The sources I have on this are... I'm just going to leave it. They're unimpeachable. The Iranian threat against Trump was real. The drone threat was real. President Trump does not want to die. Now, I will say this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
He's ordering the Secret Service to give him every bit of information. The Secret Service has this thing so you understand the mechanics, not to bore you to death, but they have a memorandum of understanding with the FBI. The FBI investigates assassination attempts. He needs to order, I'm sure he has, by the way, the FBI to give him the information too. They cannot tell him no.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
But the Secret Service will have in their protective intelligence division something about this. He says, no more holding back because of Biden. I'm entitled to know when they've held it long enough. Yes. Fess up on the information. You're telling me we don't know anything about these two potential assassins that could have killed them? One guy shot him in the head. Of course they know.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Was there an Iran connection or not? Maybe there wasn't. Just let the man know. Second, unusual Wales tweet. A lot of FOing happened, folks, for the left. Donald Trump's asked the DOJ to review firearms rules and regulations drafted by President Biden, setting up a likely reversal of many of those policies. Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
President Trump and Pam Bondi are on board to determine any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment. Ladies and gentlemen, if gun control worked, why isn't gun control working? Because it doesn't work. It's not a coincidence that liberal cities with the tightest fake gun control laws, because they don't control guns, have the highest crime rates. It's not an accident, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Good for President Trump. Even more FOing happening. So I'm talking about you can sue all you want. We'll just keep it coming. There'll be a tidal wave of FOing EOs. The FOEO. I like that. Can we call that the FOEO? That's what we'll call it. The executive order. The find out executive order. Bill Mellugian. Twitter. Breaking.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
It's a choice that's really no choice at all. In other words, like, you can take this horse or no horse at all. Well, that's not really a choice. You have to take the horse, right? Donald Trump, the genius of Trump, Again, I'm not saying everything's 4-D chess, but I'm saying a lot of it is that the media misses, is he puts his political opponents into classic dilemmas where either choice is bad.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
The Trump administration is seeking to deputize IRS agents to carry out illegal immigration enforcement with ICE at the U.S. Interior. Yes. You're going to sue about that too? Donald Trump can allocate these people to do whatever he wants. We used to use what we call OTAs in the Secret Service all the time. Other Treasury agents, we'd bring them in to supplement us as poststanders at sites.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Getting back to what I opened the show with. Listen, Donald Trump has a lot of political superpowers. He does. The ability to make his enemies so angry that they engage in irrational behavior just to look like they're targeting him. It's an incredible thing to watch. You know, someone put this thing out on X this morning and said, if you're a P1 listener in the Bongino Army, you'll get this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
What, you're telling me we can't use IRS agents to protect our border? Good luck. Sue on that one, too. Sue away. Let's see what happens. You'll just FO some more. We know they're armed. Good point, Justin. I believe they're 1811s, the IRS agents, like anyone else. They can get out there. Everybody's got to help out.

Folks, Kash Patel, thankfully, is closing in hopefully this week, maybe early next week. I hope this week. Tulsi looks good. Knock on wood. Tulsi looks good. Excellent. RFK looks good. Knock on wood. Excellent. I don't count chickens before they hatch. It's a stupid old cliche, but it matters. You get the point. Cash looks good too. The Dems are trying to delay.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
They're writing ridiculous hit pieces that have not gotten any gravity at all. They're floating into the ether. Cash looks good. The Democrats now are freaking out over cash too because they're realizing that the FBI, which is alleged to have leaked some of the CBP raids to get rid of illegal aliens and criminals in the country,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
If that's true, Cash Patel is going to get to the bottom of it right away. They know that. Here's Democrat Communist Senator A.B. Klobuchar. Notice how they specifically mentioned Cash. They are really worried about losing a politicized FBI to do their dirty work. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Notice how they focus so much on cash. It goes back to the golden rule of the show, folks. In the chat, what is it? Get on the case there. Yes, measure the effectiveness of what you're doing by where the Democrats train their fire. They have been dead set on getting cash out of there because they're afraid that cash is going to make the FBI great again, and they don't want it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Cash doesn't want a political FBI, either does anyone else. The Democrats do. They want this stuff to continue too. Folks, the FOing is going to continue. But it's amazing how little the media has picked up on this extinction burst type behavior against Trump. Did you guys see this Tennessee preacher, this video? You know, it's not highly disturbing, but this really isn't for kids.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Calling for violence here, or at least appears to be calling for violence. I mean, you can listen to yourself. This is the kind of stuff that, you know, an FBI calling for violence that wasn't political should be investigating. I want you to listen to this. Check this out.

The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, this is the genius of Trump, right? He puts his political opponents in these classic dilemmas. where it's essentially, if you want to look this up, most of you kind of know what it means anyway. I don't mean to sound like an arrogant ass, but you know what Hobson's choice is?

You can check it out. Just put my name in X. You'll see it. It's in there somewhere. It's a guy putting a dollar or whatever in a Coke machine. It doesn't come out. He's kicking the Coke machine. Now, I got it. So whoever put that up there, you're clearly a P1. I got you, bro. I see. I know exactly what you're doing. I've talked about this extinction burst phenomenon over and over. Bear with me.

The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Can you imagine Father Marty and Holy Redeemer talking about that with a Democrat? Oh, my gosh. The Biden FBI, the church would be shut down. They'd burn it to the ground. By the way, Elon, you know, listen, you don't have to listen to me, but I would consider legal action against this guy. Elon Musk is threatening to steal your data. Are you sure you can defend that in court? You sure about that?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
I hate lawsuits, man. I'm not a litigious guy. But once in a while, you're forced into a corner. What else are you going to do? If I were Elon, I would strongly consider that. Where's the FBI on that? Listen to his own words, man. You don't have to listen to me. Listen to what he said. We're happy to make you famous today or infamous. Now, I haven't done it in a couple days, but it's important.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot forget the economy. We've got a lot going on, but the bottom line is one of the biggest issues that got Donald Trump elected was Joe Biden's absolute crap management of the economy. Garbage, inflation, and all this other stuff. Folks, government spending is the problem. Hat tip Elon who put this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
We've been using Milton Friedman videos for a long time, but I don't have the platform Elon does. If you don't know who Milton Friedman is, God rest his soul. You are missing out on one of the greatest economic minds in the last 200 years and a guy who can articulate economics better than anyone.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
This is only about 20 seconds, but I want you to keep this in mind as these new CBO reports are coming out about how bad our budget deficit is for the Democrats. Like, We don't need to cut a million here, a million there. No, we need to cut trillions, trillions. Yes, that's how bad it is. Government spending is all that matters. It's all that matters. That is your tax rate.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Listen to Friedman explain it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Folks, Milton Friedman. We have played clips like this from him hundreds of times. Friedman says it right. There is no such thing as a debt that's unpaid. Government or anything else. Either the debtor or the creditor pays it. I lend Michael money and he doesn't pay me back. The debt was paid by me. Michael pays it back. He paid the debt. The government borrows money to spend.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Where do you think it's getting the money from? It's printing it. Well, what does printing money do? Creates more money, which does what? Creates inflation because more money is chasing the same products, which can charge more money because there's more money. It's not hard. This is easy stuff to figure out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
I promise I'm not going to bore you to death with psychology terms, but this matters. An extinction burst, you can look it up on your favorite search engine right now. It's a very real thing. It's when you engage in a behavior, dollar in the Coke machine, you get a reward, the Coke, and then all of a sudden you put a dollar in and one day it doesn't come out. Behavior, no reward. What happens?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Inflation is high and has been high because the government is spending too much money and printing it. Either way, you're paying, daddy-o. And in case you think we have a taxing problem, let me go to the CBO. For you dipshit Democrats out there, too stupid to figure this out. The CBO is your government entity, Congressional Budget Office.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
So if you're telling us government is great and that the CBO is lying, then government isn't great. CBO report came out yesterday. Notice. The tax revenues were up $11 billion. They were 1% higher. Wow, so that must mean the debt went down. No, the debt went up by $317 billion. Wait, so you mean taxes aren't the problem because they keep going higher? We're just spending more? Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
That sounds like spending is the problem. Yes. But I'm a liberal. You're a moron. Yes. It doesn't matter what we tax. The government just spends more. You understand now why they are freaking out? Why they are freaking out about this? By the way, here's a quick video. The Biden jobs report, the last one from the Biden era that just came out. It covers the last three months of the Biden era.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
All had to be revised down. Listen to the great Peter St. Onge about just how crappy this Biden economy was. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Folks, however bad you thought the Biden economy was, yes, it's worse. It is worse. The job numbers were faked. The budget deficits were unprecedented. The printing of money was unprecedented. What I'm getting at is, listen to me, please. This is really important. I need you to be patient with President Trump and the economic team. I know it's hard because there's a lot going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
He's doing a lot right now. Forget the chewing gum and walking at the same time. He's chewing gum, hitting fastballs, shooting free throws, and walking at the same time. I need you to be patient. This mess is not going to be cleaned up in a day. It is going to take some massive cutting of government in the trillions. It is going to take reform of entitlement programs. No other way.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
People do irrational things. Like what? They kick the Coke machine like that's going to fix the problem. You break it, that's a crime. It's not rational, but they do it anyway. Animals do it all the time, human beings. That is what's going on right now with the Democrats. In the past, they have engaged in this behavior to dollar in the Coke machine.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
We're going to have to get the fraud out of it, and we're going to have to get grounded in some sound economic accounting principles again, or we are going to go bankrupt. They can do it, but it's going to take time. I know. Jasmine Crockett, we got to get to that tomorrow, especially now that Jim has the dumbest member of Congress pull up going soon again.

Just call them a racist, go to the media and say, grandma's going to starve to death and have to eat cat food. Show a video of grandma getting thrown over the cliff and governments and government will be continued. Government will continue to waste fraud and abuse away our money and no one will pay attention. And Republicans back down because they were afraid.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Not only is Donald Trump and Elon Musk through Doge not back down when they get, they double down and they say, hey, we're going to the military Pentagon next. We're going to the Department of Education. So what happens? The Democrats are so used to the reward dollar in the Coke machine Coke. When the Coke doesn't come out, they're kicking and screaming at the machine totally irrationally.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
And now Trump has them in this corner. I really hope you enjoyed this explanation because I'd like this to go nuclear if you can make it. Up to you. But it absolutely explains human psychology and the irrationality of politics and what the Democrats are doing right now. They were in a corner. They are defending the indefensible. They are defending clear government waste.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Sex changes in Guatemala, Peruvian LGBTQ operas. It doesn't matter how much money it is. It matters that it's our money. You know, if he were to come up to me and go, Dan, I'm going to put in an order for 72,000 rolls of toilet paper. It's probably it's not going to affect our bottom line that much, but it's a waste. What the hell you need that for? What'd you do?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Like have a bad meal or something? I mean, why would you need that? This is what the Democrats don't understand. When people hear $2 million for Guatemalan sex changes, they're thinking, you know what I could do with that $2 million? I could buy a homeless veteran a million-dollar home twice over. I'd get him a summer home, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
The Democrats are too stupid because they're used to getting the coke out of the machine. It's not happening. So they're whining like children, not realizing that they're in this dilemma, which is this. Defend the indefensible, government waste, or don't defend it. And watch your gravy train dry up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
In other words, let Elon weed out the government waste in conjunction with the Trump administration. And the government waste has been wasted on Democrat causes, which is going to dry up their gravy train. Do you understand the classic dilemma? Defend it, lose political power. Don't defend it, lose economic power. You get it? Do you understand the genius of what Trump and Elon are doing here?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
They are in a totally, completely untenable position. And now that we are the media now, we are the media. Elon owns X, and this podcast, War Room, Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, the magosphere, we're the media now. We dominate the media. Megyn Kelly, Tucker, the left doesn't have the voice to compete with us anymore. So they can't even whine about it. Folks, receipts matter.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
This is the freaking receipt show. I don't say I can't back up. You think I'm kidding that they're defending the indefensible? That this is so unbelievably unpopular that even for stupid liberals, it's incredible how irrational they're acting right now in this extinction burst. Here's a CNN clip. Yes, CNN. You know, we play this guy often.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Someone said it the other day. Was it Gutfeld on The Five? I'm not really sure. Someone on The Five brought it up. Another genius component, tactical political component of Trump is that he gets his opponents to vigorously support an issue that only 15% of America, i.e. the communist crazy, support. And he gets them to do it vigorously just as a reflexive anti-Trump response.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
He appears to be relatively unbiased when it comes to at least left-wing media. Here he is with a poll showing Donald Trump's approval rating is basically through the roof right now, and the Democrats are getting their asses kicked, but they're continuing to kick the Coke machine because they just can't stop the extinction burst. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Brothers and sisters in the Bongino army, receipts matter, man. It's a CNN guy talking about a poll. It's not Fox News or Bongino.com. This is the I'm telling you that of all of the superpowers Donald Trump has politically, he has many. He has weaknesses, too, like anyone else.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
His greatest superpower is forcing Democrats into into extinction burst behavior where either choice they make is a Hobson's choice is no choice at all because they're both bad. Defend sex changes in Guatemala or don't do it and lose your ability to engage in identity politics and profit from it around the world. Either way, brother, you lose. Either way.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
You think I'm kidding how this is just the beginning? We are the media now. I don't say that. I know some people complain. It sounds arrogant. Number one, I don't care because it's not intended that way at all. You notice when I mentioned the Magosphere, I never mentioned just myself. I mentioned other creators, too, because it's not about me. It's about us. I mean that. You got Charlie.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
You got Benny. You got Bannon. You got Megyn Kelly. You got Tucker. You've got a bunch of great shows out there to pick from. I'm not the only one. I'm honored you're here, but you don't have to be here. There's other choices as well who are just as talented. But we are the media now.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
The collective audience between those people, Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN is more than enough to compete and override the traditional mainstream media. They are powerless to hurt us anymore. They can't avoid hiding stuff like this. I want you to watch this. So last night... I'm upstairs in the little office room I have. I watch some TV at night because it's dark. Who cares?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Why am I telling you this? But I'm sitting there, and I'm going through doing some show prep, and I see this clip by an excellent congresswoman, Lauren Boebert. This is, again, about U.S. government money going to fund something so abhorrent that when you hear it, this little clip, it's about 30 seconds, I promise you're going to think it's fake.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
I actually texted the congresswoman to be sure this was real. It's real. The Democrats, do you want to defend this? Listen to what your money was used to fund. We'll talk about it on the other side. You'll see how Trump getting them to defend this stuff is just the epitome of tactical political power. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
I have a name for that. I've been calling it the show your ass theory. How it just becomes all about fighting Trump at the expense of rationality? I'm going to show you what I mean at the beginning of the show. About, again, this government spending issue. How he has the Democrats, unbelievably, they're usually smarter than this, tactically speaking, defending the indefensible.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
Oh, Madam Chair, I think you do. Thank you, Congresswoman Boebert, for pointing that out. Aborted human baby tissue into animals? I'm telling you, I'm not messing with you. I thought that was fake. I had to text her and be like, is this real? This is an AI, right? That actually happened. This is what your tax dollars are funding. You Democrats, are you really sure?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
For the umpteenth time, this is the hill you want to die on. They're out there bragging all day. We're suing in the courts to keep human fetal parts implanted into animal wombs or whatever. They're suing to defend all of this stuff. NIH overpayments. We're suing the defender. And they really think this is a winner. This is why I'm going to throw something out of you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
I need you all to listen to me for a second. I'm going to black out for you. I need everybody to listen in. Listen in good, okay? That was my grandma. Listen in, listen good. My grandmother got mad at me. I love you, grandma. Don't panic over the Democrats' use of the judicial system to engage in lawfare.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
There's zero question these judges have so far overstepped, and I'm going to get to it more coming up in my lawfare segment. No question about it. But we knew they were going to do this. It's sad we have to deal with fake judges in robes who are usurping the power of the executive and the legislative branch. I mean, it's sad. It's tragic. But it's not a surprise.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
We know the Democrats are communists. We know they engage in lawfare. Okay, Dan, when does the good part come? The only salvation to this, this is why I'm telling you, don't lose a ton of sleep over this. We may not win them all, but we're going to win a whole bunch of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
There is no question that if the presidency matters and the Constitution matters, that we are going to eventually get a judge who's going to say, wait, this judge in Rhode Island said that Donald Trump can't execute functions of the executive branch. And here's why I'm telling you not to freak out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
It's going to empower Trump for the rest of the presidency as this makes its way up the judicial ladder, possibly to the Supreme Court, because there's going to be nowhere for them to go. The Democrats that have done this before may incredibly be kicking themselves in the jimmy again. Because it's only two weeks in, they're wasting a ton of money and time suing for every little thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)
And if six months in, they lose 90 out of 100 of these cases, Donald Trump will have reinstituted the constitutional power of the presidency. Again, the Democrats kicking themselves in the nuts. Don't sue. Let it go through. And you lose because Donald Trump shows government waste. Sue and lose, which you're going to on many of these.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Here's Dana White in a segment you guys may remember from a while ago, talking about the idea about speaking freely. So again, we're going to verify all of this before anybody gets any kind of attaboys over at Facebook. But this is a nice first step, pointing this guy onto the board. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
You want that guy on the board, or you want a bunch of commies? Nobody's getting any out of boys, folks. You're supposed to take care of your kids. You were supposed to be a platform. But please, I'm going to ask you one last time. Do not fall into the trap of the left-wing emotions game. When we get into the emotions of it... Whenever you talk about your education, you sound like a dickhead.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Yeah, another banger of a news day today. This is like a Rolling Stones concert or something where they just keep rocking out the hits every single time. I mean, ever since the election, do you feel like it hasn't slowed down? You know, Guy and I have this, we have this thing we talk about. Whenever there's a slow news cycle and we feel like we, you know, we don't fabricate news stories.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
So I'm asking you for some dispensation in advance, okay? One of the few things I learned in psychology undergrad, grad school, I learned a lot. I took neuropsychology. It was good stuff. Learned about like the nucleus accumbens. I was pretty cool. I didn't learn shit in undergrad, okay? Because I took more theoretical crap.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
But one thing I learned that was pretty powerful is people who get lost, focused on emotions when they should be focused on problems and problems when they should be focused on emotions. I'll give you an example. Someone dies in your family and a year later, you can't get past it. You're focused way too much on the emotions rather than the problem that the person's dead.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
They're not coming back, okay? They're not coming back. And then people focus on the emotions like, oh, this promotion at work is going to be a lot of responsibility and they're stressed out for weeks. Rather than focusing on a problem like, how do I mitigate the stress and prepare myself for the promotion? Do not focus on emotions when you should be focusing on the problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The problem is staring us in the face. Facebook is the world's biggest platform for information exchange. Facebook censored us. Now they're saying they won't. Now we have to verify and we have to use it to advance our agenda just like the liberals use it to advance theirs. There's nothing wrong with that. As long as they stick to their word. Please don't get emotional. That's what liberals do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
And that's why they got burned. They got emotional about Trump instead of handling their problem, not ours. What did they focus on? We hate Trump. Put him in jail. Instead of handling the problem, why do Trump voters not like us? Don't make that mistake. I got a lot more to talk about. I'm going to show you how the left still can't get out of their own way on this. And we can take advantage of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
We're going to take a quick break, and I'm going to get back to this. I'm going to show you how the left is handling this information, why we have an opportunity here.

I have gone to the mat on this free speech thing with my money, my blood, sweat, tears, and my entire reputation. We're going to talk about that. A lot going on, including the greatest piece of video ever, Kamala Harris presiding over her own political demise, which was just fantastic yesterday. I love it when commies lose. All right, let's get to the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
All right, back to the show. So the left is freaking out about this, folks. Why? Because the left is full of shit. You know, I would say to Facebook people, the biggest mistake you ever made was believing that the left is sincere about boycotts. They're full of shit. The left has been eating a Chick-fil-A forever despite protesting their religious stance and staying closed on Sunday, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The right, when they boycott, is for real. So it was a huge mistake buying into their bullshit. Here's what you get from the left, this Axios piece about the appointment of Dana White to the meta board. Mark Zuckerberg moved further in the direction of MAGA. This is hilarious. MAGA. All he did was say, we're not going to censor people. when he appointed three white men.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
It's like, I can't get over how like, the melanin content, leave that up for a second. The melanin content of your skin, these people can't get past it. He won MAGA, he appointed three white men, including Trump friend Dana White to the Meta board of directors. Folks, these people cannot get out of their own way. Do you understand my emotions focus versus problem focused issue?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The left has a problem. You know what the problem is? Everybody fucking hates you! You suck! They hate your identity politics. They hate your defund the police. They hate your open borders. They hate your inflation. Justin Trudeau got his ass kicked up in Canada. Joe Biden got his ass kicked. Kamala Harris got his ass kicked. You lost the Senate. They've got a problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
And what are they focused on? The emotions. We hate white people. They can't stop. This is why they will continue to lose. We have an opportunity here. That opportunity will be lost if you make the same mistake they do and you get emotional. I hate Facebook. Fine. Fine. We all should what they did to us. That's not the problem right now. Problem is getting our message out.

Because we're dealing with these losers. I told you I'd get back to Kamala Harris and I got to get to the January 6th bomber story. So moving on here. We're going to be covering this a lot this week. Folks, speaking of messaging. Facebook, X, Rumble, even ScrewTube.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
They're all important for us to get our message out because if we don't, the left's message is going to win because it'll be the only one people hear. And the left's message yesterday during certification day for now certified. Yes, certified President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. Certified. That was a total flex right there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Certified is that now we're back to normality because the Democrats have always been about law and order. They've always been about the peaceful trends. It's hilarious. You have. You losers on the left have challenged every single election in this century that you've lost. Every single one, presidential election, you've challenged every single one, and you were the defund the police.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Now you're the party of law and order? Listen to Kamala Harris yesterday. I'm so sick of the posturing and virtue signaling. You don't have to accept any of this. The Democrats deserve no credit for anything. They would have challenged yesterday's election if they didn't get smoked so badly. Here's Kamala pretending they're now the party of law and order. Get out of here. Check this out.

Hey, a lot of us are trying to get our finances in order and start the year off right. There's some great news for homeowners. Interest rates have dropped and are now in the fives. If you've been buried in high-interest credit card debt, now's the time to break free. American financing. Yes, American financing. Use them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
You should be accepting absolutely none of this message because it's bullshit. Ladies and gentlemen, they have challenged every single election in an unethical and immoral manner that has happened in this century.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The only reason they didn't challenge this one, again, and this is the only thing you should be discussing on this topic, you guys on the left would have called this thing Russian collusion if you didn't get your ass kicked as bad as you did. Period. Folks, they're full of it. They need narratives out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
And the reason Facebook was valuable to them in the past is they got their story out there. It's like us in a courtroom without ever being able to cross-examine them. The January 6th narrative to them was important. Why? Because Republicans are the party of law and order. They always have been. Republicans are the party of process. Republicans are the party of the Constitution.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Donald Trump said go march peacefully and patriotically. I encourage you to just listen to the speech. We have been resolutely, resolutely, verbally, openly, passionately, anti-political violence from the start. I dedicated my entire career to it in the Secret Service. I protected Democrats and Republicans. Don't challenge me on that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I don't like any violence, whether it happened on January 6th or February 4th. It's the left that's been full of shit. Here's Hakeem Jeffries just the other day claiming that they're not the party of election deniers. Oh, really? Ladies and gentlemen, receipts matter. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
They can help you access the cash in your home to pay off your high-interest debt that's crushing you right now. Last year, their salary-based mortgage consultants helped consumers save an average of $800 a month. It's like giving yourself a $10,000 raise. What a way to start off the new year. And if you start today, you may be able to delay two, yes, two mortgage payments.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Exhibit A in this courtroom proceeding, which we had Matlock around, is, yes, Hakeem Jeffries. That's so crazy. They have no election deniers on their side. Really? Hakeem Jeffries. You mean the same guy? Same guy. Here's a quote. The more we learn about the 2016 election, the more illegitimate it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a fake president in the Oval Office.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
He even used the hashtag, Russian interference. That is so weird. That is so weird. Justin, that sounds like election denial. Kind of weird. Kind of strange. A little... It's amazing how the left-wing media, by the way, where are the fact checkers? This is how bad of an idea fact checking was. Where are the fact checkers now? How does this guy not get 75 Pinocchios for this?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
There are no election deniers on your side. Do we need to run the video again? 24 straight minutes on RNC research of Democrats denying elections. These people are full of shit, folks. And we deserve an opportunity to cross-examine them because we're right. And the evidence are their own tweets. Here's Hakeem Jeffries again yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
See how important the January 6th insurrection narrative is to them to keep alive? They don't believe it was an insurrection. They believe it was a riot. They keep saying insurrection because they're trying to distract you from their sordid history of election denial, Antifa, BLM, and defund the police. That's why. Here's Hakeem Jeffries disgustingly making comparisons again.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
to Pearl Harbor from January 6th. This is just gross. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
You think he used those words by accident? Folks, Pearl Harbor and January 6th have absolutely nothing in common. I don't like what happened on January 6th. I wish it would have happened differently. But no one, nobody, has focused more on the untold story of January 6th, the federal involvement, the bomber case, rather than me. Nobody. Julie and Darren as well, but no one more.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Maybe as much, but no more. I got more on this coming up next. I'm going to get to the J6 case, I promise. Also, big news with Mike Benz, an incredible piece of video. But I just want to ask this question coming up next. It's an important one. Ladies and gentlemen, is the Democrat Party on the verge of collapse? It's a serious question.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Maybe not long term, but in short term, they're in really, really a bad place. And it's not just me saying it. It's Democrats. Stand by, I'll show you what I mean. Last break.

Okay, back to the show. This is a really interesting segment from Fox. This is a Democrat state senator saying what a lot of Democrats are talking about behind the scenes from some very good sources of mine. They are very concerned that the demographic destiny they thought was working in their favor for a lasting Democrat majority is actually turning against them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
They are afraid that Hispanic voters, black voters, union voters, working class Americans, even a bunch of college educated males and sometimes females are moving in a direction away from the Democrat parties. They get more radical.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
And that if the math didn't work in this election against what they consider a beatable candidate, Donald Trump, I don't consider, they did, that it may never work ever. Listen to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Folks, they can't change. They can't change. They may when it gets bad enough, but clearly it's not. I just showed you the Axios headline about Dana White. Meta appoints three white men. Their skin color has nothing to do at all with why they were appointed to Meta's board. They could have covered it as a news organization. Instead, they covered it as a DEI class. They can't stop. Because why?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Let's rewind to the beginning of the show. Because they're emotional when they should be focused on problems. Don't make that mistake. That is how you get your ass kicked in politics. Transactional. Spreadsheets. You're a plus one or a minus one. That can change on any day. You get a congressman you hate today. Don't get emotional about it. Don't. I had a laugh. I'll throw an example out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
In case, again, you think I'm full of shit. Someone tweeted the other day, Tom Massey disappointed me. A definite minus one. What he's trying to do with his speaker's race or was, I have no idea. I've invited Tom Massey on the show a thousand times. I've spoken positively about him when he's done a plus one. He's a huge minus one lately. But Tom Massey's been good on the January 6th bomber case.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
All right, fellas, for the second show of this amazing new year, I'm going to get into this in more detail in a moment, I promise you. However, I just want to start with this, and then I have to dig into this seismic, at least, announcement by Facebook, which we're all holding on, but we need to talk about, because it could be a BFD.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I'm not emotional about it. Someone said, oh my gosh, why does Bongino defend this guy? I defend nothing. I defend outcomes. I defend no man up there. I defend the outcome. I need an outcome. I need the identity of this January 6th bomber to become public so you know what I know. It's a freaking insider. And if he helps us get there, I'm not emotional about it. That is it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The Democrats cannot stop shitting in their own diaper. But we have our own problem, too. We've got people who, again, are focused on the emotions, too, on our side. Here's a Breitbart article about Sununu, the governor of New Hampshire, soon to be former governor. He doesn't like Trump at all. Here he is still going in an interview. Trump has definitely not changed the Republican Party.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
This is on our side. This is a guy who's stuck with the emotions. Explain to me in the chat what's going on here. He doesn't like Trump. Emotional. So he can't see the problem. The Republicans have lost black, Hispanic, and union voters for years. That's the problem. Trump fixed the problem. He's not focused on it. He's focused on the emotions. I don't like Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
He has definitely not changed the Republican Party. We have our own knuckleheads. Don't do it, man. We will reform this system. We will reform it. Because we're not insulated from media scrutiny. When we do dumb shit, you've got conservative podcasts like this calling out our own side. Are we not? Put up the Breitbart headline again. Is Sununu from New Hampshire a Republican or a Democrat?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
He's a Republican. You notice how we call out our own people? I just did a thing on Massey. Good part, bad part. The Democrats don't do this. They are totally insulated from the truth. It's why they will never change. Here, you want to see it live? They live in a fantasy land. They never challenge their own stupidity. Listen to this segment. This is a good one.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
It's a CBS segment on Biden's obvious cognitive disorder that anyone with a functioning medulla oblongata saw. Anyone. But the left said, no, Biden's fine. Biden's the best he's ever been. A fantasy. yet there are people who still believe it. This lady calls that out on this CBS segment, but that's not the important part.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I want you to listen to the end of this, where Bob Costa, who I know used to not be crazy, is still going to the mat with this, well, you know, Biden said he was sick during the debate, kind of like insinuating, you know, maybe he's not as crazy. This is nuts. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Robert Costa. Do you believe this guy at the end? The evidence is right in front of your face that Biden stole a car. He's in the car. He has no paperwork for it. The owner of the car saw Biden steal it. He got pulled over. The cops have him. He basically sits there in the car and is being interviewed on video. Costa's like, well, he may not have stole the car. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
However, you need to see this because this is one of the greatest pieces of video ever. Here is Kamala Harris announcing she got smoked in the presidential election. She is, of course, still the vice president, so she presides over the counting of the electoral votes. So great. It's so great.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Because he said he didn't steal it. You're a freaking journalist, bro. He said he was sick. Has he been sick for four years? Have you watched him stumbling around, forgetting the name of his secretary of defense? What does he call him, Guy? The black guy? The black guy? That guy over there? He calls his secretary of health and human services Javier Baccaria?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
He doesn't even know the names of people he's giving awards to? He forgets where he is? And oh, he basically said he was sick, so that's good enough for you? Did you miss this one? You got that thing with him calling out. Here he is losing his mind. Again, when someone asks him a question about being too old, what does he do?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
He goes back to what he always does, screaming and yelling like a lunatic with frontal lobe dementia. Bob Costa, did you miss this? Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
This guy, folks, has an anger issue based in some form of a psychopathological disease. Frontal lobe dementia. Is it Alzheimer's? I don't know. I don't think it's Alzheimer's. I think it's more of a frontal lobe dementia type case from what friends of mine have told me. I mean, we're not his doctor. It was obvious. This is why you will always be better than the other side.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
and why the fact-checkers and that awful Facebook program insulated them from the truth. You realize during COVID, we were the ones trying to protect the left against themselves? We said to them, wear a mask or don't. It's your business. I'm just telling you it's not going to protect you. You went out thinking you were safe. We didn't. We took precautions. Imagine wearing a condom
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
That never, ever works. And the left telling you, hey, man, go out and use it. And every woman you give a disease to or you get them pregnant. You should have listened to us. We told you that brand don't work. And you didn't listen. We tried. You were too stupid. By the way, here's a great response. This is short.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
But here's Trump on Biden's claims that he would have beat him if he stayed in the race, which is freaking hilarious. Check this out. Hello.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
And here is the eruption from the crowd of Republicans as she announces Donald Trump has basically smoked her in this election. This is wonderful. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
You know what? Trump has been remarkably gracious to Joe Biden, who continues to screw up the country and destroy the transition efforts by doing things like pulling medical health care bankruptcies from credit reporting, which, by the way, is going to make credit more expensive for you. Eliminating offshore drilling, which is going to basically hike oil price.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Biden's basically screwing up the entire country in the last two weeks. And the stuff is not going to be easy to overturn. All right, I want to get to the most important story today. Forgive me for leaving it to the end, but I want to make sure I give it its due.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Folks, the January 6th pipe bomber story, which has now exploded because now, as predicted, the FBI, once Joe Biden lost and they knew they weren't protected anymore by their Democrat benefactors, because the FBI is now an exclusively political organization. We're going to change that with Kash Patel, but it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The FBI, as predicted, is now releasing information claiming it's new video of the bomber who planted the bomb at the DNC on January 6th. How it's new video that was recorded four years ago, literally four years ago, is a mystery to all of us because it's made up. It's not new. They've had it the entire time. But the video appears manipulated, appears dramatically manipulated.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
And I'm going to tell you why. So we put the bottom line up front because it is the biggest political scandal the FBI is ever going to deal with, including collusion and spying. The FBI, I am absolutely convinced, knows the identity of the person who planted that bomb. I've told you this many times. The person who planted that bomb was definitely an insider. It was not an anti-Trump person.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
It was someone planting a bomb to create a narrative that crazy MAGA people are trying to assassinate Kamala Harris. Because the bomb was planted at the DNC where she conveniently was. She wasn't at the Capitol on January 6th the entire day. No one's been able to explain that. So the FBI released new video. Must have taken them a while to doctor this. And the frame rate seems manipulated.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Now, I don't want to get overly technical. We're going to play this video. This is from the great Mike Benz. He's at Mike Benz Cyber, and you need to follow this thing. You'll notice that the glasses the guy had on, that it appears if you look at this thing through various lenses, the video, and if you're listening on Apple and Spotify, please watch this on Rumble.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
It appears that they manipulated the eyes with a horizontal blur bar so that biometrics and AI-type features would not be able to identify this guy. You notice you can't see the eyes or the glasses? They also appeared to manipulate the frame rate. It's pretty easy to explain. If you play a video at a normal frame rate, it may be a certain amount of frames per second, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Where the human eye processes it as continuous motion. When you start to see choppy motion in those old multiplex cameras, you know, the guy moves like this, like a robot if you're listening on Apple and Spotify. It's because the frame rate is so slow that it's only catching intermediate motion. It appears the FBI deliberately slowed the frame rate down. Now, why would they do that?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
It appears they did that, and if you watch Ben's video, which we're playing here, you'll see that it makes it easier. Because if you have 10 frames per second rather than 1,000, and you're going to edit out the eyes in a video, then ladies and gentlemen, you only have to edit out 10 frames and not 1,000. Folks, they know who this person is. They just don't want you to know who this person is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I am absolutely certain this is the biggest political scandal of our time and that the FBI has been hiding a massive fake assassination plot to shut down the questioning of the 2020 election. They know it's going to come out the second cash gets sworn in and they're trying to get ahead of it now, but they're releasing information slowly because the second they put the unedited video out,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
You know the ex-Twittersphere and all the conservative investigators out there are going to go to town. They're going to find this person. I want you to remember everything they did to hide from you what happened that day. And these are all facts. The January 6th committee that was supposed to investigate this and this assassination attempt...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The January 6th committee doesn't even mention the pipe bomb attack in their report. It is only mentioned in the appendix. How do I back myself up with that? Open the report yourself and look for it. You will see it nowhere. That's strange, right? Adam Kinzinger, Benny Thompson, Liz Cheney, they hate Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Why wouldn't you bring up in your report an assassination attempt on his opponent, Kamala Harris? Or at least in that race was the vice presidential opponent. Why wouldn't you mention that? That's not in there anywhere. And when Tom Massey questioned Benny Thompson about it, Benny Thompson freaked out. Oh, you look into it. We didn't look into it. Really, you didn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The Secret Service text that day when they evacuated Kamala Harris, because a bomb was found, have all disappeared. The Secret Service to this day claims, oh, they disappeared because we were doing a technology transfer and we magically lost them. I'm telling you from a source that story's total bullshit, that the devices were not taken on January 6th.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
They were taken months later, and the new devices had all that information wiped out. Somebody's hiding from you Secret Service communications about that day, and I'm telling you what they are. It's someone in the government telling the Secret Service to stand down and not investigate this because they knew it was an insider. What else happened that day? The frame rate and the video.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The frame rate we already discussed has been manipulated, and there's camera footage from that day that's mysteriously missing. Cameras that were focused where the bomb was planted were mysteriously moved away. Why? It's almost like someone knew a bomb was going to be planted there, and they told someone in an op center, maybe the jock or elsewhere, hey, move those cameras away.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
We can't have this on video. You think I'm done? No, I'm not. The phone records of the bomber who was on the phone, on the bench, everybody knows that specific triangulated signal. They have the number. They have it. They know who it is. The FBI told the public that the phone records were corrupted and that they couldn't decipher them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
However, after the Donald Trump election win, the phone company came back and said, eh, it's not exactly true. The phone records aren't corrupted. They know. Here's one last thing. And there's more, by the way. There's a lot more. Kamala Harris has been covering up what she's been doing, what she was doing at the DNC that day. She never talks about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
If she mentions it, she mentions it in passing and she alludes to the fact she was at the Capitol when she wasn't. Why not just say, oh my gosh, I was almost assassinated by MAGA terrorists at the DNC. I was just on some phone calls. Why not? She covers it up because she doesn't want you asking questions about who did it. Folks, Mike Benz may have come across something incredible.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
This video is one of the most amazing things you're going to see. If that blurring of the eyeballs is intentional, and the FBI thought we'd be so stupid that we wouldn't find it, and if that was intentional, that's obstruction of an investigation, destruction of evidence. People belong in jail. Jail. We're done with administrative fines. Folks, Cash is going to be in charge soon.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Cash is a totally different animal. I've known Cash a long time. He's a no bullshit guy. I want him to get to the bottom of this. We need Cash in there now more than ever. He did an interview with Glenn Beck a little bit ago.

This is the guy coming in to lead the FBI, talking about another scandal, too, that sums up this whole show about Facebook, the intelligence community, fact checkers, all hiding J6 narratives, COVID, all this stuff. Cash knows that that's the problem. Here he is talking about the CIA, Gina Haspel, and their role in a massive COVID cover-up when it comes to the origins of COVID.

Another enormous scandal. Check this out.

You see why so many people are afraid of Kash? It's not just the pipe bomber. It's not just COVID. It's not just the targeting of pro-lifers and Moms for Liberty by the FBI. Cash was a figure involved in both the legal side, the intel side, and the DOD side in the Trump administration. He understands it all.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The CIA and our own government, if you dared speak out that COVID may have been some bioweapon from China, you were censored despite the fact that you were likely correct. And our own CIA had a role in targeting you. Folks, the misinformation and disinformation has been coming exclusively from the left. By the way, thank you to my man, Trash Discourse, who I love on Extra. Sent me a nice DM.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I check him sometimes. He said, banger show today. Thank you. Love your account. Awesome. Appreciate that. Misinformation is the exclusive domain right now of the left. You're on the right and you say something dumb and full of shit, we're going to call you out too. The left never does that. I want to end with this one. This is glorious. This Scott Jennings has been tearing it up on CNN.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
He's been doing a great job over there. Don't know him, never met him, but good for him. He's a plus one for me. I don't get emotional about anything. Here he is on CNN. This is what the liberals and why they believe dumb shit. Here's a dumb ass liberal talking head.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
on CNN sitting there talking about how the Trump tax cuts were only for the rich, despite the fact that she could just look it up and see that that's a made up fabricated story. Watch Jennings just wreck this woman. Check this out.

Of course, Jessica's lying, and she's a moron, or a liar, but she could be both. And Jessica, in that segment, could have just... What's with the Jessicas, by the way? Is this the sub-queen of the Karens with the other Jessica? She could have just looked it up, which I did. Took me all of about 27.2 seconds, maybe less. Here's Investopedia, which is not a political site.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
What is the Trump tax cuts? Well, the top rate fell from 39.6 to 37. So they got a 2.6% tax cut, the rich folks. The 33% bracket dropped to 32. They're pretty rich. They got a 1% cut. The 28% bracket, still doing okay, but upper middle class, that's many of us. 28 fell to 24, 4% cut. Here's the middle class cuts, 25 to 22, 3%. The 15% bracket to 12, 3%.

God bless you, patriots, for not only showing up and voting, but bringing how many people with you? Ten! Total Karate Man style, defeating the single worst presidential candidate of any party in modern or not so modern American history. Now, let me get to this. I'm going to get back to it. I got a ton to get to today. By the way, including the show is titled... about the January 6th bomber case.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
The lowest bracket remained at 10, and the 35% group was unchanged. So if you just look at the numbers, by far the biggest tax cuts went to the middle. Now, she could have just looked that up, but because they're absolutely, resolutely committed to bullshit all the time, they live in a stupid bubble, and that's why they lost the election.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Some of the smallest tax cuts actually went to the wealthiest. The biggest ones went to that chunk of middle-class voters. What is with the Jessicas? I love Jessica, by the way. It's one of my favorite names. My favorite cousin's name is Jessica. Love Jessica. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying. My name's Dan. Whenever you look up the name of people people hate, Dan's usually number one.

I'm not the New York Times, right? We have this thing we call, it's another Joe Rogan thing. Do you remember when Joe Rogan and the Spotify thing happened? Remember Spotify? They had that fight over content. Remember that, Guy? Nothing was happening in the news cycle at all. And that was like the only thing anyone talked about for two weeks. Remember that? That is not now.

Because one, I'm not letting it go. And two, there's been explosive new information. And as always, deep state specialist, dissector of the deep state, Mike Benz, one of our favorite commentators, dropped a bombshell yesterday about some J6 bomber video that I'm going to get to. And what I told you years ago is correct. It's the biggest scandal of our time. Your boy's not wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
But I do want to get to this first because this just caught me off guard this morning. I wake up this morning. I'd heard some rumblings that something big was coming out of the Facebook. I'm going to tell you where or why, but some people had told me, hey, there's some things happening at Facebook. Ladies and gentlemen.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Facebook is still a very big social media platform, and it is an enormous vehicle for getting our message out. There is also no doubt that Facebook, via third-party fact-checkers and others, has targeted political voices, largely conservative. Zero doubt about that, okay? It is the single dumbest business strategy I've ever seen.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Why you would tell people 50% of America that identifies as Republicans, MAGA, Libertarian... conservative and the other brands that fall under the kind of conservative Republican umbrella. Why you would tell 50 percent of America, hey, go to our platform, enjoy it, spread it around and recommend Facebook dot com and Facebook, the app to people and say, but if you do it, we're going to censor you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Was, yes, the single dumbest business strategy of all time. It appears, appears that there's been a U-turn and a change in direction. We're trust but verify people, so hold. So I'm watching Fox this morning, sitting there getting a workout. And it was a killer, by the way. Probably shouldn't be doing dips with my bad shoulders, but I'm doing some dips and I'm pumping them dips out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I'm like, yeah, baby. This is a pectoral minoris big time pump here. And I look over and And I see a Facebook executive, Joel Kaplan, who I'm pretty sure I remember when I worked inside the Bush White House with the Secret Service.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
He works at Facebook, and he's on Fox, and he makes this announcement that Facebook, thankfully, is getting rid of the communist fact-checking program and is not going to deprioritize political information anymore. Hear the guy out. We'll see what he says. Please don't get emotional about this. Huge mistake. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
We are leaving content on the table every day. Just since yesterday, massive breaking news about what's going on with Facebook. Everybody home! You ever see Braveheart? Hold. Hold. Don't jump in either direction. Don't do it. Don't do it. Your boy, Dan, what do I say all the time to you? Do not get emotional about this. Then you're like a leftist. Be transactional.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Hold. I'm already – let me – who said that? Elon wins again. Larry Red won in the chat. Flag lover. I don't believe Zuck. Don't believe the Facebook BS, Jay Seneca. Listen, folks, I get it. I get it. Who says this? I never use Facebook, pink puggle. I get it. I get it. This is really super important we discuss this, folks, because in the digital future, exchange of information.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Gosh, don't mess this up, Dan. This is super important. I've dedicated my entire life to free speech. No more dicking around. I'm not being sarcastic here. Karate Man funny time is over. If you don't have free speech and the free exchange of ideas, you cannot possibly have a republic. That's what we are. We're not a democracy. We're a republic. You know that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
You don't need a lesson from me on civics. You cannot. It is not possible to have a republic without the ability to speak and advocate for your ideas. The whole idea of a republic, in contrast to a direct democracy, is we elect people in a republic to advocate for our ideas.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
If we can't tweet to them and respond to their Facebook posts and say, hey, the guy I just elected, Congressman Joey Bagadonis, because I can't vote on that issue, but you can, your position is stupid. If I can't do that, you don't have a republic. You have an oligarchy. Or maybe a dictatorship. Or a communist regime. But you sure as shit don't have a republic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Facebook, whether we like it or not, it doesn't matter what we like, don't get emotional, is the most popular social media vehicle in the world. It has billions of users. If we can't speak on there, we lose.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Now, let me just throw the gauntlet down to anyone out there challenging my bona fides out there, and I'm not suggesting it's you at all, but there are people listening to the show and be like, are you defending Facebook? I'm defending nothing. I'm defending plus ones and minus ones, and that is it. I'm not emotional about this. I'm passionate, but I'm not emotional. There's a difference.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Nobody has been attacked enough on a platform more brutally, and I don't mean violently, obviously, I don't want to be dramatic, than Facebook hitting me. Ladies and gentlemen, we were the number one Facebook page in the world on any given day for eternity. The New York Times and Washington Post, it hates me, wrote articles about it. One of them's called, look this up right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Anita, put this link in the chat if you can. Go to New York Times, the New York Times, and put here's the title. I'll read it slow. I want you to read this article in case you think I'm bullshitting you. Right-wing pundit draws a lot of who's, who's like W-H-O-S, on Facebook. Put it in now. Right-wing pundit draws a lot of who's on Facebook.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
It was a New York Times article echoed later by the Washington Post about my page beating everyone on Facebook, the New York Times, the Post, CNN, Fox, everyone. Facebook crushed us. So anyone out there saying, Dan, I think you're giving these people too much credit. You don't have any skin again. No skin in the game? I had the most skin in the game.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I would throw numbers out there, but I don't want to make this about money. We were destroyed financially on that platform. Destroyed. If anyone has a bone to pick here, it's me. But I'm not emotional, bro. I'm not. I'm passionate, but I'm not emotional. I hope you understand the distinction I'm making. It's not irrelevant.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
If Facebook is going to come out and say, we F this thing up, we are going to give conservatives and MAGA people a platform to speak freely. I don't want you to promote it. I just want you to get the fuck out of the way. Can I pardon the language? Just get the fuck out of the way. Let my listeners go to my page and say, I like this guy's stuff, send me more. That's not you promoting anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
That's them asking the platform to send me stuff they like. Just get out of the way. Then we should say, great development. I don't trust anything. You deserve no applause for this. We will watch what happens. And if you do that and I start seeing more conservative content I like on my page, on my page, when I see the results, then you know what? Then maybe I'll say, okay, nice.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
But they deserve no applause for this. I want to be clear. We like it. We're going to verify this. But it reminds me of the Chris Rock segment. Remember the Chris Rock segment about being a dad? When people brag about taking care of their kids. I take care of my kids. You're supposed to take care of your kids. You're a platform that people go to use to get information they like.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Why would you tell people that like conservative information on Facebook? You're not allowed to have conservative information. It's the single dumbest business decision I've ever seen. But if they're going to make a U-turn, then it's up to us to keep their feet to the fire. No applause here. No nothing. But I'm just asking you not to go in the other direction either.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
All we want is plus ones and minus ones. That is it. Don't jump on me. This is awesome. Facebook's our best friend now. But also, it's silly to jump on the fuck Facebook. This is the stupidest thing ever. I don't know. I don't know. Hold. Just hold. Karate man holds. Because the karate man is patient. And he only feels pain on the inside. Hold. I will not steal you wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
I've seen too many false prophets in this free speech space. Too many. We've been burned before. We may get burned again. Facebook may say this and then there's a COVID thing tomorrow and then they're back to like you can't post about masks. I'm begging you to be transactional just like we are with politicians. Don't get emotional about, oh, that guy gave a great speech about conservatism.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
Good, he screwed you over the next day. Don't do it. This has to be followed up by action. Here is a good first sign here. Dana White from the UFC, who has been an outspoken champion for free speech. I like Dana a lot. because you're owed that. I have a relationship with Dana. We're not best friends. We don't go out for coffee, but we've met a couple times. That's about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Biggest FBI Scandal In History Is Unfolding (Ep. 2395)
But we've spoken, and I know in personal conversations that he means what he says about free speech. I wouldn't lie to you. It's not what we do here. This show doesn't have authenticity. It doesn't have anything. Dana's been appointed to the Facebook board. The company's called Meta, but you get the point.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You know, it is the peak of naivete and ignorance to suggest an alternative plan without suggesting an alternative plan. It's like the money ball theory. If he's a good hitter, why didn't he hit good? You ever see the movie Moneyball? Like, yeah, he's a good hitter. And he's, well, if he's a good hitter, why didn't he hit good? Why doesn't he? Kind of a simple question.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
The examples, there are a lot of them. I wish there weren't, but they are. Stop pretending that it's somehow cowardice or anything else. That's not what this is. It is realpolitik and a realistic view of the world we live in, not the world you want to live in, because that's the utopia fallacy. That doesn't exist.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I mean, you have to understand if you are a foreign negotiator, the EU, they love photo ops. They had the big class picture we put on the show yesterday. President Zelensky went right over to the EU. They all got together, took this great photo op. Fantastic. I get it, you have to message things. Public relations are a big deal. I fully understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
However, public relations, not backed up by action, are simply, there it is right there, thank you, are just public relations. They're not going to change a damn thing. Germany, UK, France, you want to continue this war with Zelensky, what is the APR, a very long time? Go right ahead. There we go. The end of the war is very, very far away. Go right ahead. Nobody's stopping you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
The EU is a very powerful collective economy. There's a lot of money there. President Trump has given you a realistic exit ramp. Here he is talking about how Zelensky needs to be more appreciative to resume negotiations. Notice. how he has not taken the minerals deal off the table despite Zelensky's catastrophic diplomatic miscalculation on Friday in the Oval Office.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
President Trump, who's supposed to be the crazy man, according to his opponents, still has not taken the deal off the table. So how crazy is he? Or is everyone else crazy? Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Your inability to do that means continued bloodshed and body bags. Folks, there's an expression called realpolitik. I encourage you to look it up. You got to deal with the world as it is, not the world as you'd like it to be. We're not writing Robert Frost poems here. People are dying over there. I got a lot to talk about. This story has really shaken up the entire world.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Looking at the chat, Sneaky Gemini says Trump's the only adult in the room. Sneaky, you are correct. It certainly appears to be the case. I'm going to take a quick break, but just remember what I told you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
If 10 years from now, we're doing the Dan Bongino show, sitting here staring at a camera, and here in the new studio, wherever we're doing it, and we're having this exact conversation, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been wiped out, and Russia has more territory, I'm going to say, Justin, can you pull up that show from 10 years ago?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I thought we were the bloodthirsty warmongers on the right, right? That's what you've talked about for years. No blood for oil and all that. I mean, I remember being a Secret Service agent, seeing all these code pinks on no blood for oil. We're giving you an opportunity for no more blood. And you want more. I never seen anything like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And by the way, the public is just not on your side on this. I'm going to play another CNN poll. You mean the one from yesterday? No, I mean a different one. They're just not on your side on this. They want this thing to end. Quick break. We'll get back to the show. Hold on a sec. Hey, I'm just... Guys, I know I don't... I know I don't do a lot of foreign policy on the show. I understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I speak up. I just... Haven't dealt with the horror my grandmother dealt with. God rest her soul. Eileen Sadler. She really, man, she got, she lived a tough life. She lost two husbands early. She lost her, my uncle, her son in Vietnam when he was supposed to come home. Folks, when that changed her, man, forever. I told you my uncle's name many times, Greg Ambrose.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And when he was killed in Vietnam and shot in the back, my grandmother was never, ever, ever the same. Ever. This is real. People are dying. These Ukrainian men are children of God like anyone else. They may swear allegiance to a different country, but they are human beings. What is your plan, man? You owe it to these people. This isn't a game of Stratego, whatever that game is. This is real.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
There are going to be hundreds of thousands of Eileen Sadlers out there who are never going to be the same because their kids and grandkids are going to have died. You better give us a damn plan because Trump has one. You do not. All right, I'm gonna take a break for a second here. So I hope you understand. I hope you guys don't mind me covering this story two days in a row.

It is of grave importance that we highlight this in the most, Hey, one of my first sponsors when we started this journey is a company I really believe in, My Patriot Supply.

The Dan Bongino Show

I mean that in the actual essence of what I said. Folks, it's been over 10 years now since we were informed that the government is spying on us. And this day, nothing's been done about it. It's a battle that American citizens are losing to our very own government. Big Brother's watching you. You know the phrase, scary, right? Well, what if I told you there's a way to get your freedom back?

If you are the anti-Trump reflexive, Trump's Ukraine plan sucks. What's your plan? Ukraine needs to win. What does winning look like? Hell, if I know, that's not a plan. It's a suggestion. It's the four-way stop sign. A lot of people don't stop at the four-way stop sign because they think the other guy will do it. That's what this is. It's a suggestion.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You're like, oh, I don't need to produce a plan. Someone else will. There are smart minds in D.C. I guess not because these smart minds have yet to produce an actual freaking plan. Here's Harry Hinton from CNN talking about how Trump is doing way better than President Biden, former President Biden, on the Ukraine issue. The public's not with you either.

All right, here, wait. Last segment on this. This is a serious topic. This is Jake Tapper and my congressman, Brian Mast. And why is this segment important to me outside of just the content? Because Congressman Brian Mast, who's my congressman in Martin County, Florida, Congressman Brian Mast, I've mentioned his name before because there's something very distinct about Congressman Mast.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And it's that he's missing limbs, notably his two legs. Why do you think that is? That's because Congressman Mast decided he was going to volunteer for military service, decided to become a bomb tech, obviously one of the most hazardous professions of any profession anywhere in the known cosmos. Well, Congressman Mast was trying to disarm an explosive. It went off and he lost fingers.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
There he is right there. And you'll see he has prosthetic legs. So Congressman Mast has bona fides on this issue to discuss what President Zelensky refers to as the nice oceans protecting us. He's kind of crossed those and he's left pieces of himself over there. So when Congressman Mast speaks, he speaks with instant skin in the game, actual skin in the game.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Here he is with Jake Tapper talking about how the EU, which has skin in the game as well, they're right there, they're kind of de facto funding both sides of this war by constantly buying gas from Russia, which is fattening up their coffers, which is in turn funding Russia's war effort. So how serious are you guys? Let us know, because we're the ones trying to cut that off. Take a look.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You know, Justin brought up a great point, too. I tell you, man, this guy is a very precocious leaving college young man. This guy, when I was 20, you know, at the time, I was working on my career and all that stuff, but I was heavily focused in law enforcement and all these other things. Justin is knee-deep in the politics. He's like, damn.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
He's like, didn't Germany and others just decommission a lot of their nuclear power plants and therefore they have to rely more for baseload power on natural gas from Russia? Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Climate's right. The climate change people, they're like, the climate change people are supposed to be the peaceniks. They're like, continue the war. Continue. Fund Russia.

So the two products we love the most are the infrared sauna blanket and the red light face mask. Ever since they sent them to us, can't recommend them enough. Sauna blanket has been great for muscle recovery. You know, I have really bad arthritis. It's important to me. It's a game changer for me. It's really easy to use. Just wrap yourself up. Let the infrared heat just work its magic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I've noticed a real substantive difference in how relaxed and rejuvenated I feel. Afterwards, I sleep better too. Red light face mask is equally impressive. It's Paula's favorite. Helps with her skin texture, reduces inflammation. She's seen amazing results. It's like a mini spa treatment right in your home.

So I'm going to say this again. And in my listening audience as well, I know there are a diversity of opinions on this. I have a big MAGA audience here.

These statements and products have not been evaluated by the FDA. They're not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. So here's a big announcement. As you all know, you've probably heard it now a thousand times, maybe more over the last few weeks, I will be leaving. My last show will be next week, March 14th.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I will be taking over the deputy director position at the FBI. We brought on Haley. You met her yesterday. You're going to be seeing a lot more of her in the coming days. We have a Vita show at rumble.com slash Evita and taking over my show for the podcast. He's going to have a significant role in radio too. He's going to be my good friend from WMAL. My friend, Vince colonies. He is fantastic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I promise you, I only bring you the best people. You are going to love them. A very, very, very smart guy. Very intellectual show. I love Vince. He's been a good friend to me. You've heard him fill in on the radio show. I've gotten all your positive feedback. There is a method to my madness. I always intended on bringing on Vince as a talent, regardless, before I even knew about this spot.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Now that Paul is going to be running the business, we thought, well, let's just move a little quicker than we were in the past. So there you go. Vince Colonese. Give him a follow. Here's how you spell the last name, you know, with us Italians. It's Coglianese, okay? It's pronounced Colonese, but C-O-G-L-I-A-N-E-S-E. And the show is going to be called, I got to say, by the way, this is my idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
A lot of people in this audience are obviously going to agree with the Donald Trump approach, which is if we're going to help you, we need something for you to help us, too, so we can sell to the American people that we are going to stay involved in another overseas war that is not in our homeland. I'm not saying we don't have an interest in it at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Vince. It's kind of like Prince without the symbol. Remember? Where'd I get that one? It's his first name. Justin, you didn't know. Haley, feel free to incorporate the guys in your show, by the way. They kind of just chime in anyway. So they just do their own thing. There's no rules on the show. Even if there were, they disregard them anyway. If we had like treehouse rules.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I know that's a huge mistake. Folks, the new studio, we have mics and cameras for the production guys. So now you're going to get to see these guys doing their whole drill during the show. You all down with that? So folks in the chat, I'm asking the Bongino Army, go follow Vince, represent. I told you I'd leave you with good stuff, so I promise you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
All right, let's get back to some more of this stuff. So this happened yesterday too. I told you, listen to your friend Dan. Do not buy into the take Trump seriously, but not literally. You damn well better take him literally sometimes. And does anybody in the chat hate the word literally more than me? No, I hate the word. Yeah, it's true. I know. That is a good point.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
However, the guy, President Trump, is not kidding when he's talking about the tariff thing. Tariffs take effect today. Here he was yesterday. He was announcing a $100 billion chip investment. I'll tell you why this is important. In relationship... to the tariff story. These stories are related. I'll show you why and what the economic logic is. I promise, I'm not going to make this boring for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I know people that dismal science economics. This will make sense. Play that cut.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I thought this guy was crazy. If he's crazy, why are all these people investing? Right? So just to be clear, Haley and I are both Long Island kind of Queens kids, right? Say you've got this guy in your neighborhood. We had this kid growing up. I won't use his real name, but let's call him Tony. This kid was legit crazy, right? He was.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Like, if you walked near his house, you crossed the street because you were afraid he'd come out the door. I'm not kidding. I lived on 64th Place. Everybody who lived in that neighborhood knew to stay away from this guy. No one's going to go in there and ask him to start a business. Like, hey, you want to start a corner deli with me? Because he's crazy, right? He was just a dangerous kid, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
So if Donald Trump is so crazy, why is this like the fourth or fifth multi-billion dollar, hundred billion dollar plus deal where people are moving money back into the United States? I'm just asking questions. I told Haley to incorporate a few pregnant pauses just like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
That's not what I'm suggesting, but it's not here. I hope it's never here, but it's not here. We are consistently asked to step up for other countries, and the United States has done that. But the United States citizen financing all this, many of whom serve in our military, have come home missing fingers, limbs, if they've come home at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Now, to show you how extra non-crazy he actually is, anybody out there know how GDP is calculated? I'm not going to bore you with stupid math equations right now, but I will tell you this, okay? It's C plus G plus I plus X minus M. What does that mean? When you calculate GDP, it's government spending, consumption, investment, exports minus imports, and you get a GDP number, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Now, why is that a big deal? Because investment, the I in the matter, and the exports minus imports, exports happen when you... Sorry, but some people don't like Trump, don't really understand this. Exports mean what? Exports mean you export stuff, meaning it originates in the United States and you send it out of the United States. Exports are a positive for GDP.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
So for all those people who think Donald Trump is crazy and don't understand basic economics, GDP numbers, and how economies grow, Donald Trump gets a twofer here. He gets investment in the United States, and he gets additional exports. Now, again, if you don't understand that, what he's doing, you won't understand what his tariff approach is either. Tariffs or taxes, I agree.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I'm not going to tell you otherwise. Tariffs are taxes. However, he has used the tariff as a negotiating tool to get people to move more of their operations back into the United States. Now, here's the genius of the whole thing, if it works. Now, if it turns into an escalating tariff battle, you're right, that could turn into a problem. However, Donald Trump, I trust this guy's negotiating skills.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
The president knows what he's doing here. He's done this before. If he can get more money into the United States and in the GDP formula, get more exports and more investment, right? And then he brings these companies into the United States to build new factories, more investment. Here's the kicker.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
He also gets another bang for the buck if the Republicans in the House and Senate can pass the tax cuts again. Because if we can get 100 percent or accelerated depreciation, that means that when you build these factories, you can also write it off your taxes, which means millions more available to pay your employees and to put into said factory.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I love people who think this guy is nuts and just don't understand what he's, trust me, he has a plan. You may not like it. No plan is perfect. It may work out. It may not, but we're going to find out. But I promise you, just like in Ukraine, he has a plan. What's your plan? Here he is talking about V6, guys, the 25% Canada and Mexico tariffs.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Folks, we have not had fully open free trade with Mexico and Canada for a long time. It is time to use these tariffs as a tool. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Some of them are in body bags or shallow graves overseas in wars they've died in, have a simple question. What's the plan to win this? Folks, the only alternative I've heard expressed here from this continued pro-Ukraine funding. We need to do everything we can for Ukraine to win the war.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Knock this guy all you'd like. It's a constitutional republic. I actually believe in the First Amendment, unlike some others out there who don't seem to like me very much. I'm just telling you he has a plan. The way you get economic growth is by investment in the United States. He's going to get a double bang for the buck with exports.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
He's also planning on a depreciation schedule, which matches up with said investment. So when companies are building here, they get a write-off for building here, which will incentivize more building here, which will give companies more money to invest in their product and employees. What's your plan, brother? I don't understand. What's your plan? Your plan is what?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
to continue talking about economic growth. It's like we said before, what's your plan to win the baseball game? Justin said, right. All right, we're just going to play more baseball. That's not a plan, man. It's not a plan. Is that a plan? That's you writing some Emily Dickinson poetry or whatever. I'm not interested. I'm a spreadsheets guy too. Show me the numbers. Let's go full Jerry Maguire.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Even though that was a liberal movie. Watch that little speech at the end and you'll get it. You know what I'm talking about? Some of you know. Remember Cuba Gooding Jr.? What was his name, Rod Tidwell? Show me. Say it, Jerry. Show me the money. Donald Trump is saying, show me the money. Show me where you are going to put money in American citizens' wallets.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
If you can't, you don't have a seat at the table. Sorry. Folks, the momentum is completely, totally shifting right now. Wasn't that the title of today's show? You see how I did that? I did that actually by accident. I didn't even mean that. I let these guys write the titles, you know, kind of like... They're good at it. They've been putting together a lot of the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
The momentum's totally shifting. But... I can't tell you to produce receipts and spreadsheets and not flowery language and not producing myself. Here's Scott Pressler, who's done so much work and organizing and getting people registered as Republicans. Folks, if Pennsylvania were to flip red consistently, the Electoral College pathway for the Democrats to win the presidency is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
is as dead as an iron nail. They have zero chance. Right now, here's how it looks in the national picture. Keep that up on the screen for a minute. So let me just read you a number. So Pressler put out, Republicans are 181,984 voters away from flipping Pennsylvania. In 2012, that number was a million one hundred plus thousand. In 2008, that number was a million two hundred plus thousand.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Now they're less than two hundred thousand voters away from flipping Pennsylvania. That this is Pennsylvania reminds me of what happened in Florida, where when I moved down here, Democrats actually had a voting advantage. Obama won Florida and now Florida has become a blood red state. But here's the thing. You're seeing the same trajectory in Ohio.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You're seeing now Nevada start to color itself red a little bit. And Pennsylvania is moving. Folks, there is no pathway for them to win if Pennsylvania flips fully into the Republican column. I can make the case to you that that's why you're seeing Senator Fetterman in Pennsylvania. You know, is it a genuine change where on some issues he started to move a little more right? I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
The only thing I've heard suggested is basically a war of attrition, that we will fund them until the Russians get tired. Folks, I'm not really sure that's a battle plan. You're assuming at this point that Vladimir Putin doesn't have so much invested in this Ukraine war that he can just casually pull out. That's not a plan. You know, I think J.D.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I can't get in his head. Again, I don't really care about is it genuine or not. I care about the spreadsheet. All I care about is on how they vote. I don't get too involved with the emotions of it. But you're seeing this all start to change. Now, here, here. is the tweet I found the most compelling on this. And I'm going to tell you why. Actually, I'm going to throw this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I'm going to ask you a question. Let's see when the chat can get it. Some of you may have seen it because it was trending on Twitter kind of all day and people made the connection. Charlie Kirk, good friend to us in the show. Charlie Kirk put this out. He says Trump's approval rating, President Trump's approval rating by age. So 65 plus, 65 years old plus, Trump's approval rating is 45%.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
40 years old to 64, 46%. So one percentage point higher. Here is the shocking statistic. Considering the prior trajectory of the Republican Party, 18 to 39, younger Americans, obviously. Donald Trump's approval rating is 15 points higher than an older American, 60%. I want you to listen to what I'm telling you here.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Donald Trump's approval rating amongst the young demographic between 18 and 39 is 15 points higher than his approval rating amongst 65 plus Americans. Come on, Justin said, come on, come on now. Fellas, ladies, for those who've been following politics for a long time, like when Haley used to book me at Hannity back in the day, like 10 years ago, So it was like, hey, what's up?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Remember, you used to show me my little Q score thing, whatever ratings on the charts. Look, you were on last night. You did so good. I'm like, that must have been Geraldo. That must have been Geraldo. When I was doing hits back then, the Republican Party could not. Older Americans, that was basically our base of support. We never had younger voters. They were all about hopey-changey.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
They loved Obama. They didn't love what he did, but they loved it. Everything's great. The whole thing is flipped. Now, my question to the audience. Someone tweeted this out. Did you see it? What do those numbers correspond with when it comes to this? Let me see if someone in the chat gets it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
What do those correspond with when it comes to media consumption amongst those three groups, older, middle-aged, and younger Americans? Let's see if anybody gets it. Let me see. I'm looking through. The chat goes so fast here because you guys are so many people here. Excellent. Who said that? Excellent show. Tanamir, we love you. Thank you. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Look, John DeSalvo says social media, redhead advice, new media. Yes. Oh, VGO 1998 cable. This is what happens when you get a genius audience. I'm not kidding. It's not like me. They throw in faux compliments. Yeah. There's not a question I can ask you guys. If I asked you guys to figure out the Pythagorean theorem on a number in like half a second, someone's got it in there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And I think you guys know what you're talking about. You see how the older demo that's still watching. Oh, look at this. Check this out. They even got some charts up here from Nielsen. The older demo. that is still watching traditional cable news, the MSNBCs, the CNNs, and others, Trump's approval rating is fine, 45%. It's not terrible.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
But then you start getting into a younger audience that has a la carte media consumption, 18 to 39, a la carte, meaning they can go anywhere and pick off the menu. Oh, look, I'm going to get a Haley video from TikTok. She's been viral like 10 times already. You know that dance party with Beyonce? That was her. She started that whole thing because she just felt like lighting up TikTok.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Vance said, Vice President Vance said, hope isn't a plan. So yesterday, President Trump upped the ante on this and said, listen, President Zelensky, if you're not going to come to the table and do a mutually agreed upon deal where we win, you have the military support you need to continue this battle. If you're not going to do it, then we're out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Young people are like, you know what? It's kind of cool to be MAGA now. Like we're the anti-establishment question authority party. You don't find it weird that younger people who aren't really watching cable news and broadcast news anymore, that these younger people are the ones who support President Trump? You guys are so smart in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
The longer you're married to legacy media, the longer you're going to believe a lot of these nonsense narratives about President Trump. When you can go to X and Truth and YouTube and Rumble and TikTok and other places and pick and choose your own media and filter through what was, in the past, a wall between you and the truth, you notice people start becoming more MAGA and more Republican?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
It's not an accident. All right, let's throw that Wall Street Journal article up. Yeah, no, that's exactly, that's a great point. That's why they want to censor all these. You know what? Now let's put the Wall Street, let's save that one for tomorrow. I want to put this Wall Street Journal piece up. Folks, this Wall Street Journal is obviously not a huge fan of President Trump, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I think we get that, especially Gerard Baker, but I enjoy their pieces and I read them all the time. That's not it. That's a, what's that? That's Jack Smith. I think you got a different one. Yeah, but look at the graphic you have up. It says District Judge Tonya Chutkin. Jerry Baker has a piece up, just when we need them, the media's credibility hits the bottom. It's a great piece.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I encourage you to read it. And he talks about here how journalism has become more of a religion rather than a fact-based, fact-searching enterprise anymore. how it's an act of faith. It's not really an act based in spreadsheets and reality anymore. And that's the problem. Folks, thanks again for tuning in.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I'm really excited about the future of Silverlock Media as Paula takes over the enterprise and I transition into a different stage of my life. Got Haley here. We're going to have Haley on the show. Now, here's the schedule for the new studio because I need to show this to you. Tomorrow... After this show here, tomorrow will be my last show, so definitely tune in, Bongino Army.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
My last show from here, not my last show, okay? From here. We are going to retire the Dan Bongino Show. 50-foot, square-foot studio. No kitchen, refrigerator, nothing for these poor guys tomorrow. But it'll hurt because I do love this place, and we did a lot here. Tomorrow will be the last show from here. So Bongino Army, P1s, let's make it special.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I am then going to go over to the new studio and we are going to show you the new studio Wednesday night, but all the shows will air at the regular time. Don't worry. I'm going to record some stuff so you guys can get a good look around the new studio. So the Thursday show at 11 AM, your regular time, you're going to get to see the new studio. You've already got a peek at it with Haley and Evita.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You have yet to see the Dan Bongino set, which my lovely wife put a lot of work. Haley, you've seen it. Do you like? So cool. So cool. And Haley knows because I'm not cool. Haley's cool. I'm not cool. My wife says I am, but I know I'm not. You can't try. It just is. I will see you on the radio show in a little bit here on Rumble in about six minutes or so.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And then I will see you back here tomorrow, our last day in the old school Dan Bongino studio, 11 a.m. Eastern time, rumble.com slash Bongino. See you guys there. See you tomorrow. You just heard the Dan Bongino show.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And as I said to you before, the biggest mistake you can make. Did I not say this to you folks in the chat? Did I not say this a couple of weeks ago? Throw right in the garbage and flush down the bowl this whole thing. Take Trump seriously, but not literally. No, take him literally and seriously. You're seeing that now with terrorists, which we'll get to.

I say that regarding the still ongoing fallout over Friday's disastrous Oval Office meeting and how this is just rippled through international geopolitics. You have a bunch of other people asking a very simple question, especially on the MAGA side and around the world. A lot of populists around the world are saying, OK, well, what's your plan to rescue Ukraine?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You're also seeing it with Ukraine funding. President Trump was crystal clear. Either make a deal with us on this minerals deal and let's engage in some kind of substantive peace process or make no mistake, we're out. That's what he said. If you made the mistake of not taking him literally, I encourage you to read this article in The Guardian of all places. U.S.

suspends all military aid to Ukraine in wake of Trump's Zelensky row. Again, I've told you repeatedly, that is a serious underestimation of negotiators' spreadsheets, Donald Trump. Yeah, that's a great one. We only have one plan, to win and survive. Okay, I appreciate your resilience and the brave people over there who put up an amazing fight and continue to do so.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
But you have to have a plan right now. You keep saying we have only one plan to win. Well, what does that plan look like? Because that's not what's happening right now. The biggest tactical error I've seen made over and over repeatedly with Donald Trump's opponents is this idea that he's just not serious when he says these things. No, he's as serious as a heart attack. He's not kidding.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Here's a piece of video here. Zelensky says, hey, the war's going to go on. That's your choice. That's your choice. But I think Donald Trump's been crystal clear about the level of United States support for the next four years, and that's a long time. I encourage you to take him seriously and literally. Check this out.

The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You know, I'm going to hit this point again and again and again. Folks, I'm proud of our consistency in our argument here. I'm proud of that. It means the show is bedrocked in principles. Listen, I've changed my mind on some things over the years. on industrial policy and trade. I've changed my mind, not fully, but on the margins a bit. I've moved in a different direction.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Some people have convinced me to change my mind on things. But what's strange is about the anti-Trump ideological left, how they flipped the script and completely dump in a 180 everything they claim they stood for. You have to remember, starting in that Vietnam era, it was largely that generation, you know,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You have the hippies and others who were all, you know, all we are saying is give peace a chance. I mean, there were songs, there were entertainment, there were protests on college campuses. Well, Donald Trump is trying to give, you know, to quote the song, is trying to give peace a chance. I'm a little confused that, I mean, I'm not. I understand exactly what you're doing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You just don't like Donald Trump. So anything he says, you have this reflexive, whatever he says, take the opposite approach. However, do you understand that this is, you're not... You're not generating public support you need to build political capital by now being on the side of an endless war where I'll say again, like I said in the beginning of the show, you have yet to provide an exit ramp.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You keep saying we have to ensure the Ukrainians win. How? Let me give you an analogy. Justin, permission for analogies? Thank you. I got to be honest, I stole that from the five. There's a long story about that with the five. So a couple analogies went really bad on the five. So Jesse would always say, permission to use it. If you hear it now, you'll know what I mean. That's the inside baseball.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
It's kind of funny. Imagine being a coach for a sports team. My favorite team, say the Auburn Tigers. And you're the baseball coach or whatever. He's a great guy. I love him. And they ask you, hey, what's your strategy? We're going to win. How, coach? We're just going to figure it out. That's not a plan. The sports media would be like, hey, coach, you got anything else?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I saw this question asked last night in an interview, and who was it? Was it Chip Roy and Caitlin Collins? Like, what's your plan? I don't understand. You keep talking about this tragic war going on in Ukraine, but you've yet to present a viable alternative where Ukraine comes out the, I'm using air quotes here because there are no winners, but the winner in this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You going to build out the middle relief? You going to close out your problems at third base or center field or whatever? I mean, that's not a plan. Right, right. Justin said it right. No, what we're going to do is we're just going to play more baseball better than the other. That's not a plan, bro. It's not a plan. Here's the catch, though. Baseball, you lose a baseball game.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Hey, herp, it's no big deal. Folks, we're talking about a nuclear-powered enemy. It doesn't mean their presence of nuclear weapons mean they should dominate. We have them too. And we can do bad things to Russia as well. A lot of bad things. Cyber war and elsewhere. I'm simply suggesting that you are obligated, if you say Trump's plan sucks, to present some of your own.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Here's what he was talking about, by the way. AP, Ukraine, Zelensky says end of war with Russia is very, very far away. Oh, OK. I mean, that's the best you have. Your economy is being hollowed out. You don't have anything else. Again, here's Donald Trump, President Trump again. He wants to see it end. He just doesn't want to see people dying anymore. I get it. Like, all right, this is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
But he has a plan. He's presented a plan. No, he hasn't. Yes, he has. He has said we will develop economic rare earth mineral resources in areas of Ukraine. This will be likely an implied, if not direct security guarantee because of our economic interests. And you came in Friday and blew it up. What's your alternative? Again, I thought the left was the party of peace. Am I crazy?

Those songs not happen? Did we not all engage in sing-alongs in the 60s and 70s if you were of that age? Smoke in the peace pipe on college campuses? What happened? You got a guy who wants peace and now you hate him? Here, check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Here's the problem, too. Here's the problem with the people who reflexively jump down Trump's throat and have no consideration whatsoever for what he's saying. He really cares about this, by the way. I'm not name dropping. Who cares who people know and don't? It sounds stupid and you sound ridiculous.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I'm just saying I have a different relationship with President Trump than a lot of people in the media. You've never even met the guy and just automatically think, you know, I have all these nasty words to say about him. If you don't think this has deeply impacted him, the carnage over in Ukraine, he keeps mentioning this, how a generation of young Ukrainians are going to be wiped out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And I'll tell you right now what's on his mind. I'll share something I know is one of these things, like a brain worm, when he can't get it out of his... is he understands fully that hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians will be wiped out. And in the end, listen, please listen. This is really important. Wait, stop. Everybody pause. You ready? Listen to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Aren't you obligated, if you say this, in other words, Okay, the Trump plan sucks. I don't like it. Say that's your theory, Tommy Boy style, right, if you know what I mean. The Trump plan sucks. Okay, that's easy to have an opinion. What's your alternative? You notice crickets, everybody's quiet? It's really troubling because your inability to express what your plan is, A to Z, is
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
You want to get in Donald Trump's head and what's animating him. These young men and women will be killed. Dead. They will never take another breath of oxygen. They will never see their kids grow up. They will never invent the world's next supercomputer or cancer drug or anything. And you know what concerns Donald Trump even more than that? It'll all happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And later on, after 10 years more of war, not a single thing will have changed from today. I want you to think about what I just told you. You think Donald Trump is a shallow guy. He hasn't thought this through. He's just some guy that magically won the presidency multiple times and transformed an entire political party. You think he's just crazy? I want you to listen to what I just told you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
And you ask him in the media. Write this down. I'm giving you a little hint. That is what motivates this man. He is deathly afraid that an entire generation of young, healthy fathers, sons, brothers, soccer coaches, police officers serving in their military are going to be dead, wiped out. And in 10 years, not a single damn thing will change.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
I'm just asking you if you hate this man, President Trump. I'm just asking you. You're allowed to hate him. It's a constitutional republic. And you're allowed to say what you want. His plan sucks. But out of a sense of morality and decency, I'm asking you as a human being, what the hell is your plan? A full-scale Ukrainian invasion into Russia?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
What if they're all wiped out and Ukraine loses its entire eastern territory? What was this for? Folks, the United States, the most powerful military on earth, the most powerful military in the history of this rock we call Earth. There are times we have realized that sometimes the better part of valor is to say at this point, this thing may be winnable, but at what cost?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Momentum Keeps Shifting (Ep. 2435)
Nobody wins every single baseball game, basketball game, debating match, and no country on Earth is going to win every single skirmish they get involved in militarily. There are times both Democrat and Republican presidents have realized it is time to cut losses at this point because, yes, we can win it, but this is what it's going to take, and will it result in anything different than we are now?

If the left doesn't have censorship, common sense filters through. The left can't exist in an ecosystem of common sense. That's it. So they have to censor it. They wanted you to put the diaper on your face so they can tell you they were in charge, even though it didn't work. And censored anyone. Folks, the golden Bongino rule. Watch your political opponent's reaction.

When they are freaking out over something, that means target, you're over it. Let's go through what I'm talking about. Receipts incoming. You ready? Here is insane Ilhan Omar, who really seems to dislike this country and the Constitution, all of a sudden freaking out over USAID and claiming it's an affront to the Constitution?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
The president is at the pinnacle and peak of his power when he is enacting things like foreign policy and as the executive protecting the Constitution against censorship. What the hell is Ilhan Omar talking about? The answer is Ilhan Omar and a lot of other politicians have a very deep vested interest in keeping USAID and the slush fund up and running. Watch this.

Always, always, always take it all in. Always measure the effectiveness of what you're doing by your opponent's response. Folks, when they're not saying anything, what we're doing probably has no impact on them at all. That's why they're not saying anything. They are freaking out for a reason. Do you notice they have two seemingly contradictory positions?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
You see Margaret Brennan in that clip I'm going to play coming up in a minute with Congressman Brian Mass. Well, what are we worried about? Foreign aid's only 1% of the federal budget. Okay, so then why are you worried about defunding USAID? I don't understand. You're fighting for it like it's the most pivotal thing in our federal government.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
On the other hand, you're like, yeah, but you shouldn't be worried about it. It's only 1% of federal funding, foreign aid. You understand how both arguments don't make sense? It doesn't matter that it's 1% or less of foreign aid. What matters is what they're doing with the damn money. Quick break, and I'm going to show you another freakout on the left proving my point. Listen to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
This is, that's why I titled the show this, the single most important fight going on right now is this fight against USAID. Quick break.

Listen, an emergency, if you're standing on a government food line waiting for help, you're probably going to be dead. When a crisis hits, food's the first casualty.

Again, going after Elon Musk for sensing that there's a problem with USAID when he got into the payment systems with the Doge and seeing where all the money was going. Watch Raskin freak out. This is because they need censorship. The left to exist because their ideas are crazy. And this was their slush fund. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Notice how the Democrats call it USAID. I'm not picking nits. They want you to believe, because a lot of the liberals, and not all Democrats, I don't want to stigmatize people, but a lot of liberals are just stupid followers. So what do they do? They go, USAID? We're giving a bunch of aid. Aid is a great thing, right? We need, sure, aid could be wonderful. Aid, oh, aid. It's not aid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
That's not what happened. This is a slush fund for the deep state. USAID. Do not make that mistake. They are doing it for a reason. Do you guys remember this, Jim? I love Senator Rand Paul. I know a lot of you do as well. I'm a conservatarian. This guy's the best conservatarian with Mike Lee in Congress, on the Senate side of the Congress. Here is an exchange.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
This is an absolutely critical exchange you guys spread around. This is from a while ago. This is Senator Rand Paul versus Obama deep state hack, Samantha Power. And I want you to watch her start to kind of freak out a little bit when Senator Rand Paul starts asking questions about USAID slush fund money and the creation of the COVID bio weapon.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Watch what she does as she starts to play with the words here and Rand Paul catches her right away. And maybe you'll start to understand why USAID is the fight right now. Watch this.

NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org, in case you missed it the first time. All right, fellas, let's go. I don't know what to do. Here's my personal message to President Trump. Mr. President, I've been there for you from the beginning, and I love you, and you need to keep the winning going. Here we go again every day. We still can't break these freaking rock'em socks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I'm telling you as your friend I'm not patting myself on the back. I don't give a shit enough to do that. I have been involved in this fight for a really long time with the COVID thing. When I got kicked off YouTube for telling you the truth parlor with rumble, trying desperately to fight back against this deep state slush fund and everything they were doing to censor people. This is a huge fight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
You name a global problem and I can probably tie it back either directly or by proxy to entities like USAID. They were operating like a little deep state slush fund cartel banking operation. You name something, it's somehow tied back to illicit government funding. Here's Secretary of State Rubio on this matter. He's clearly going to be at this point a plus one on this. It's all I care about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I want you to notice, too, in this clip, as he talks about USAID and how they're basically were operating on their own, doing their own thing. But notice how he catches himself and he says USAID because he knows what's going on. And then he calls it USAID. It's not aid aid. Watch this, this clip. And I'm going to ask the crazy liberals who watch my show because I know you're out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Tell me, please, what your issue is with his take on this. You can't because it's a pretty common sense take. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
For the crazy liberals who listen to my show and I know you're out there, welcome. It's good to have you here. I love telling you to your face how freaking crazy you are. Please tell me what you object to. The United States voted. They voted for President Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
In every single swing state, President Trump selected a bunch of cabinet officials to run these enormous government entities who were then confirmed by a Senate you also picked to be Republican. Correct? What did I just say that was wrong? Nothing. Thank you. They have said, these are our goals. This is what you voted for. USAID saying, double-barreled. Those aren't our goals.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
We don't care what your goals are. Go work in the private sector if you want to do your own private goals. These are public funds. Thank you very much. There's the door. Folks, Stephen Miller, who is deputy chief of staff to the president, was on Laura Ingraham last night. Don't worry, it's not a clippage. But he said exactly what I'm telling you before.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
For those of you saying, oh my gosh, this is going to lose in court, it may, it may not. You get an activist judge. I think on appeal, if this were to go to the appeals court or even the Supreme Court, the president's going to win, President Trump. He is at the pinnacle of his power acting in the foreign policy space.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
If USAID is doing things with taxpayer money in direct contradiction to President Trump's foreign policy goals, you are going to have zero case in court on this. Zero. If the president can't run the executive branch of the government, then what's the point of a president or a constitution? Let me play this one more for you.

Caroline Leavitt, who it's only been two weeks, but is knocking it out of the park as the press secretary. Caroline Leavitt uses this microphone perfectly here. She gets out in front of the media, knowing they're going to be forced to broadcast this, and it's going to go all over social media.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
And she says, hey, listen, it's interesting how you guys keep saying, oh, this DEI stuff overseas, it's not a big deal. And then when we point out the examples, you don't want to defend any one of them. It's the old Michael Anton. Well, that's not happening, but it's great that it is. DEI funding's no big deal. Okay, here's what we're funding. Oh, well, this is excellent. Watch this.

Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
What the hell are these things made of? Freaking Wolverine-like titanium? President Trump screaming liberal. President Trump, we love the winning, but it's just ruining my show. That's right. I can't even keep up with all the winning anymore. I don't even know what to do. This is just in the last few hours. Breaking. I told you about Susan Collins, did I not?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
They can't defend it. They cannot defend it. I've got a clip coming up. If you listen to my radio show, Congressman Brian Mast from Florida knocked it out of the park yesterday. He came on to discuss the clip I'm going to play next. I want you to watch Margaret Brennan from CBS get absolutely destroyed again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Well, there's no evidence that we're funding DEI crap overseas, directly contradicting our constitution. There's no way. Oh, well, here are the examples. Well, the dibs. This is transactional Trump. It is still a mystery that lives in the media. They're getting all emotional while Donald Trump sees this as a spreadsheet. That's no good. Get rid of it. But you're supposed to cry about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
People are going to lose their jobs. They shouldn't have had those jobs if they wanted to fight the U.S. government and the American citizen and the voters' policy goals, period.

The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Quick break, and I'll show you this clip because Brian Mast is exactly, exactly what we need in this position right now in Congress. Transactional. Hey, you know, I used to wake up exhausted, feeling like I was way behind because I was sleeping terribly.

Use code Bongino to save 15%. The statements and products have not been evaluated by the FDA. None to tend to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. All right, back to the show. I want you to watch this clip. Brian Mast is now a key figure in Congress on a key committee that's going to determine how the State Department is funded and where the congressional money is allocated.

Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
He goes on CBS on the weekend with Margaret Brennan, who just got wrecked by J.D. Vance last week, looking like a buffoon. Here she is making two seemingly contradictory arguments. First, she makes the case that, well, DEI, she's implying that it's so wonderful, but there were really no examples of DEI in government. I thought it was wonderful.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
And then when Brian Maia cites a bunch of examples, she then says, okay, well, your examples seem right, but it's a small percentage of funding. Is it wonderful or not? Make a coherent argument, media imbeciles. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Our show's probably bigger than yours when you consider social, live, everything, audio on demand. So let me tell you from someone who actually dominates you guys in the ratings and stuff overall. Let me give you a little instruction here. Make a coherent argument. Your argument appears to be, as a media communist, DEI is great, but DEI is not great enough. Show me examples of DEI.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Okay, here are the examples. Okay, I just told you it was great, but maybe it's not great. But even though I gave you the examples, it's only a small example. I'm not sure what Margaret Brennan is even arguing. If DEI is such a great thing, then defend it. If Margaret thinks DEI is a bad thing, then she should be asking Brian Mass what they're doing to get rid of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Margaret Brennan, the last two weeks, she has humiliated herself. She is really genuinely bad at informing herself. Here's a lesson for you. Pro tip, Mags here. Mags, don't ask a freaking question you don't know the answer to. Do your homework. Don't be a dumbass because that's what happens. You face plant on TV. Show me examples. Okay. Now, here's the big decision.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Excellent. This is a really good move because some other Republicans are giving us a bit of a hard time. She gives us some breathing room. Remember, we have 53. If Tulsi gets out of committee, which I think is going to happen, we're now on a glide path there. But folks, again, the winning is everywhere. This happened yesterday. This is another one you may not have heard about, but it's huge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I'm not making, Anita, if you could throw up the dopey media talking head Olympics medal winners, please. I would appreciate it. Pin it to the top so everybody knows. We're not making any changes today. This is a big deal, folks. You know, this is not like a small thing here, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
However, we're going to start, if Margaret continues this streak of face planting, she's given us great content, by the way, so Mags, keep it up. If this continues, we will consider her. For maybe a runner-up, maybe even a bronze spot. It depends. It's still early in the game. You still got your Joy Reeds and your others. But this is a big moment, folks. Even Justin was like, eh, I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
This is two weeks in a row. So Anita says, Joy Reid, Joe Scarborough, John Carl, Stelter, honorary mention. John Carl hasn't, you know, guys, I don't know. John Carl has kind of been quiet. So I'm going to say, folks, I mean, folks in the chat, yes, we should strongly consider Mags, or no, let it go, leave Carl and O'Brien.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
It's definitely not taking out Scarborough, not a chance taking out Joy Reid. Joy Reid's been in that position forever. But I don't know about you. I'm going to let Pacino take care of it. Yes, we should consider this. No, John Carl, who we haven't heard from in a while, stays in the three spot. says it's a new year. He is correct. It is a new year. But you guys in the chat, the show's for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
So let me know. Yes, consider it. No, we don't. Wow, we really fry in this. Yes. Wow. Botchino on the kids. Is there a single no in there? All right. Mags, good news for you. You are definitely in the running. A couple more. See, she's the weekend one. So guys, a couple more of these and we're going to have to slide her right into that spot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
She's declared, declared eligibility, just like college, like declared for the, and the pros, declared for the draft, okay? She's declared for the draft. Folks, you know, yesterday I brought this up at the beginning of the show. I'm so proud of the fact that you, me, and the Bongino Army, we are always ahead of the argument du jour that people need to make. People start making the arguments,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I'm not calling out people by name because it doesn't matter. And let's be honest. Everybody steals everybody's content in this space. They just do. You hear someone say something and someone else takes credit. They just do. But one of the great honors of my life is hearing arguments that started on this show filter into cable news and elsewhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
And one of the things you're starting to hear now is about transactional Trump. Where'd you hear that first? This guy and this show. The guy is a human spreadsheet and people can't take it. They keep getting emotional. We're crying. We're deporting people. People are being fired. We're crying. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. You don't want to get fired in the government?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Don't weaponize the government in your position. You don't want to get deported? Don't come here illegally. Nobody cares about your emotion. We see it as a spreadsheet. It is happening left and right. So when I bring up transactional Trump, people go, prove it. He's not transactional. Okay, I'll prove it to you. Here, put up the Wall Street Journal thing first. I'll get to you after I'm in here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
This is a man I know very well. Full disclosure again, because it's the right thing to do. You know, I'm an investor in Rumble. I know many. Dan, you've told us. I know there are new listeners here. I'm never going to tell you anything where there's a potential conflict without disclosing. Michael Ellis, who was one of our lead attorneys at Rumble, folks, is an amazing guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Wall Street Journal. Trump advisors now weighing a plan to dismantle education department. You ever see Street Fighter, the game? Are you kidding? Throw some fireballs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I told you, listen to your boy, Dan. You guys, I love when you tear up the chat with Karate Man. This show, man. The Department of Education is probably as big of a fight as USAID. Not bigger, but as big as a fight. The Department of Education, let me tell you something I heard a long time ago. So I'm running for office in Maryland, right? It's my first time. I'm running for Senate.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I went in the primary, the Republican primary, which, believe me, no one was more surprised than me. I was like, wow, that's crazy. So I'm the Republican nominee if I was. I was like, we were in the primary, like 10 people. And nobody knew who we were. And we just went out there and just destroyed this thing and just knocked on every door we could and we won.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
But I meet this guy in Prince George's County, which is a largely Democratic stronghold. And he said to me, Dan, the whole education bureaucracy is not about education. And I looked at him and I said, it isn't? And I said, what's it about? He said, it's a jobs program.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
He said, most of the jobs in these big bureaucracies have nothing to do with education and everything to do with administration of education. It's a freaking jobs program. That's why people will fight this. Now, how can I prove it to you that the Department of Education is not about education? Here's the hill. The hill is not some right-wing outlet. If anything, it's center-left.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
More money for schools doesn't always mean better outcomes. Notice this. Spending's been on the rise. A new report from Michigan State. This is from 2019, but the numbers still apply. Analyze long-term education spending records. They found that every state but two, Michigan and West Virginia, education revenue increased from 1995 to 2015. And you know what's weird?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
The nation's report card scores are flatter going down in most places. So weird. Spending more money, worse results. More money, worse results. But COVID, folks, it's been flat forever. And it's funny, after COVID, well, it's actually horrible that the liberals keep making this stupid argument. It's freaking hilarious to me because dumb people fall for it. Give us all this money after COVID.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
We're going to fix all this and make everything better. And we actually got worse. transactional Trump is back. And this DEI thing is a perfect example, along with the Department of Education and USAID, of the left being emotional and Trump being a spreadsheet. DEI is awesome. Why? Because it is. That sounds emotional, not spreadsheet-based. The same thing about education.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
More money for education. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. Actually, it's the wrong thing to do. More money has no effect on these education scores at all. I don't care. I know you don't care because you're emotional. Trump doesn't care either. He's a spreadsheet. Get used to it. Get used to it. I'm telling you to get used to it because we're not done. Put that tweet by Yashar up there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
He was knee-deep in exposing the collusion hoax Spygate scandal. This is the CEO of Rumble, Chris. Did you see this winning yesterday? Michael Ellis was appointed deputy director of the CIA. CIA! Under John Ratcliffe, the director. President Trump announced it yesterday. Chris wanted to thank him for everything he's done for Rumble. A lot of Rumble people moving into the administration now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Here's a Yashar Ali, another one. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now referring to Elon Musk as an unelected oligarch, encouraging people to call their representatives and ask them what they plan on doing about it. Elon is a spreadsheet, too. That is why he's become the perfect target for the left, because they're going to continue to go, you can't cut funding. Funding is taxation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
We can cut funding. We can absolutely cut funding. And we will. And we will. Again, folks, transactional Trump. I can't give you these examples enough. He is not making this personal. I'm going to prove it to you with these next two clips. Here's Donald Trump yesterday. Donald Trump thinks like this. What do I need from you in Ukraine? I need this war to end. I need you to stop this war.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
And I need you at least to put on a good enough effort that the Russians are incentivized to stop the war too. The irony here is... Some amount of support Donald Trump sees for Ukraine will actually help end the thing. Because if he senses some weakness, there's not going to be an incentive for either side to get to a deal. I'm just telling you what is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
You argue your position all you want, that's fine. I'm just telling you how I think the Trump team sees it. They can't just pull out of the place altogether because then there's no incentive at all for Putin to come to the table. Donald Trump needs this thing to end. However... Donald Trump has also said on Ukraine, you better produce something fast and we're giving you a shit ton of money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
We need something from you too and you're going to give it to us. You know what we need? Rare earth minerals. Now, you may not hear this anywhere else, but why do we need rare earth minerals? Because Donald Trump, in this case, is playing a little bit of four-dimensional chess. I'm not going to tell you it's with everything, but it certainly is here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Anyone in the chat know why we need rare earth minerals? Because Donald Trump is currently engaged with an appropriate and timely trade war with China who's been ripping us off forever. Stealing our IP, government procurement, screwing us over, threatening Taiwan, threatening World War III. China has been effing us over forever. Donald Trump just levied tariffs on China. You know what China said?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Look it up. We're not going to give you rare earth minerals you need for your military equipment. What does Donald Trump say? Double barrel middle finger. We'll go get them from Ukraine. And if you don't give them to us, no more money for Ukraine. Spreadsheets, kids. That's how he sees the world. Get on the train or get run over by it. Here, listen for yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I'm one of these guys who's going to tell you every single thing that happens is for the chess, okay? I'm not. This is. This is genius. Donald Trump sees a problem. Follow me. China is effing us over, stealing our intellectual property, screwing us over, and they're communists. They're a problem. How do we fight back? Well, we're not going to nuke China, obviously.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
So what do we have that they need? They need to sell their made in China products here. Donald Trump says, OK, I'm going to make your products more expensive with a tariff, causing your businesses some problems because you're not helping us out. China says, okay, well, screw you guys. We're not going to give you these rare earth minerals.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Trump goes, okay, who are we giving money to around the world? Ukraine. They need our money and the weapons that use rare earth minerals. Hey, Ukraine, you guys have rare earths. Give them over. You see, we can't do that, man. It's the right thing. He doesn't care. He doesn't care. He is a spreadsheet. I can't explain this to you enough. No, surely this is personal and emotional. It isn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
So thank you, Michael Ellis. More winning. He wants some more winning. Here's some more winning for you. I'm throwing winning your way in the opening winning segment of the day. Daily Mail. Canada's Justin Trudeau caves to Trump's tariff threat and strikes a billion dollar border agreement. I love how, by the way, I got a text or a tweet this morning from a guy who,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Here's another one. For all the people who are out there going, oh, he's just mad at Mexico. He's mad at Mexico because they're Hispanic. Really? Really? Last time I checked, Canada is a largely white country. He went after Trudeau up there, too. He's not emotional about that either. It has nothing to do with anything. The liberals are getting emotional.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Here he is saying very specifically, talking about Claudia Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, who is a socialist, by the way, when she caved yesterday and agreed to 10,000 troops on the border and stopping the fentanyl trafficking. Here's Donald Trump very clearly saying, this isn't personal. I like her. But I need X and you better produce it. It's not personal, bro. Listen yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, folks, I don't know. I can't. I'm having a hard time with all the winning. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I've got four hours with you every day. It's not enough time to cover the winning. It's just not. As the dubs. As Guy calls them. The W's pile up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I don't know how many times I have to say this. The Axios, Playbook, The New York Times, The Washington Post. If you would just listen to the most popular MAGA-based show anywhere, you would already understand the Donald Trump that keeps kicking you in the jimmy. You just don't want to understand him. He doesn't dislike Mexico or Canada. He needs something. Stop drug trafficking and illegals.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Mexico needs something. We need to trade into the U.S. Okay, I'm not going to let you do that if you don't do this. That's it. Here's a tweet by nwokeness, great follow on X. Two weeks in, Mexico caved, Panama caved, Colombia caved, Venezuela caved, Canada caved. Thank you for the update.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Mass deportations, hostages home, DEI programs ended, bureaucracy slashed, FBI purges underway, USAID funding canceled, gender ideology eliminated. Doge saving billions. 51 intel agents lost clearance. Border crossings dropped by 93%. Reservoirs filled in California, just to name a few. I got another one for you right here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Don't forget what happened in North Carolina and elsewhere at Hurricane Helene. Those are our citizens too. Let's not relegate them to the last chapter in the book. They came first. They have an emergency right now. Oh, look, here's Donald Trump and his administration getting right to work in Ashford, North Carolina, too, just to name a few more developments. Let the winning continue. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
He says, Dan, you know, like, be careful. You know, Canada listens to your show too. Well, be careful about what? Did you guys listen to the show? Was I not crystal clear yesterday in the show yesterday? Justin, you were here. Guy was not. Guy did not perform well at his flesh and blood thing. He did not, folks. We are a meritocracy here. It's a shame. He went to the tournament.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
This is what leadership looks like, folks. Let the winning continue. Anita just put something up in the chat I did not know. I knew we were closing in on 3.5 million followers. By the way, Rumble, Chris, if you're watching, you got to get on this, bro. Our Rumble statue. Can we get this thing updated? It says the Dan Bongino Show, 2.5 million followers. The camera does not like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Oh, the green? I know. It's like the green because of the green screen thing. We're 7,500 followers away, which is a drop in a bucket from 3.5 million followers on Rumble. So Bongino Army, can you get us there? 3.5 million, I'd really appreciate it. What a slap in the face to the communists at YouTube who banned me when I had 800,000 followers.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
We're now looking at over four times as many on Rumble. So that 3.49... was six, six, four. So we're almost there folks. So please help us get there. 3.5 million. I really, really appreciate it. There's so many, even I got confused. I'm like, what is it? 3.5 million followers. I really appreciate that. Thank you, Anita. We are almost there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
So please spread the word rumble.com slash Bongino and everybody go download the rumble app too, please. It's super important. It's free. The app's amazing. They did some great upgrades. I've got more for you though. I'm not done. Don't go anywhere. Folks, again, Democrats can't seem to get their story straight on anything. Margaret Brennan, DEI's great, but there are no examples of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Here are examples of it. Well, that's not really a lot of money. What is it? Is DEI great or not? If DEI's great, just defend the money. I don't understand. They're doing the same thing on tariffs. So I'm watching this segment on Fox yesterday. Robert Wolf is on. He's a Democrat. Nice guy, but never wanted to come on my show when I was on Fox.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
I don't know if he's afraid of losing an economics argument or whatever. But he's on Fox yesterday debating Steve Moore. And he's trying to make the point that tariffs are taxes, which he's correct about. Tariffs are taxes, period. But it's interesting how he's trying to make the case that tariffs are taxes and they're inflationary because a tax on something makes it cost more. Correct? Correct.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
If you have a pen for sale with no tax, and then you put a 25% tax, it's more expensive. 25% more expensive. Taxes are inflationary. Really? That's a fascinating argument he makes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Because the very same Democrats, the Robert Wolfs of the world, these liberal Democrats, are consistently arguing for a increase in the corporate tax, which is a tax on every single product made by every business in America. So you should be asking them if tariffs are taxes. You're correct. I concede your point. And those are inflationary. Isn't a corporate tax the most inflationary tax of all?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
It did not go well. Everybody give a little somber note. Say, Guy, it'll be okay in the chat, okay? He'll do better next time. But we are a meritocracy. There's only winning here. There's not, what did you get, 12th place or something? There's no such thing. So you were the 11th loser or something. There's no such thing as that. We're harsh here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
No, no, not that one. Not that one. Really? I want you to listen to this. This is Jamie Dimon. Jamie Dimon is no right winger at all. Jamie Dimon from Chase. I'm not even sure if he likes Donald Trump. But here he is talking about tariffs being inflationary. Really? You sure about that? There's always a substitution effect. Corporate taxes, no such thing. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
This guy's not even a Trump supporter. He's not even close to a MAGA guy or a conservative. And he's even saying we have to tax at some point something. We have our military to pay for, court system, constitutional role of government. I prefer taxes to be as low as possible. Are tariffs inflationary?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Maybe a little bit, depending on in certain spaces, but the trade-off with national security and elsewhere, and if we can lower taxes elsewhere that are disinflationary, then you've got a winning argument every single time. But your liberal friends cannot have it both ways. I'm going to end on this. Ask him, is DEI wonderful or not? If it is, then why are you arguing that there's no funding there?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Margaret Brennan, no funding. Oh, there is funding. Is DEI great or not? Second, tariffs are inflationary. Why? Because they're taxes. Okay. A corporate tax is a tax on every single thing businesses produce. Is that inflationary? Of course you don't know. You're too stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Don't let them get away with it. Hey, thank you for tuning in today. Again, help us get to 3.5 million so we can update our statue. Chris, we're going to need a new one soon over at Rumble. Hope you're paying attention. Will you do? What is it? Wow, 98.7%. I love the screenshot of Mags and Bass JD with the laser eyes from Superman. So Mags, one more and you're going to be up there.

I lose, I come in the next day, I'm like, we were not the number one live stream. We failed. We failed. But a number of people said, hey, Dan, we like you up here in Canada. We love you too. I never said anything. Justin, did I not say that yesterday? We love our Canadian listeners. This is not a war against Canadian citizens. This is a drug issue. It is also a free trade issue.

Because I don't have enough time for all the winning. It's a good problem to have. But I need some winning. Guy's about to say, did you get some sleep last night? I did. I did. You know why?

There's a number of restrictions on American dairy in Canada, financial institutions, you know, tech, free speech. These are real fights with people in the Canadian government. They're not with the Canadian citizens. We love you guys. However, some people said this wasn't a W for Donald Trump. No, it was. Donald Trump was very clear. This is about a drug issue across the border.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
He made it about the South and the North. And what happened? Canada's Trudeau caves to Trump's tariff threat and strikes billion-dollar border agreement daily mail. Excellent. That's what he wanted. That's what he wanted. Our beef is not with the Canadian citizens, folks. I've said this a thousand times.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
You've got a liberal government up there that has been really destroying trade relationships and the Canadian economy too. This is for everybody's benefit. You're done with the winning. I'm not done with the winning! And either is President Trump. The judge has ruled. Judge has ruled again. Let the winning continue. Let the winning continue, RFK. Did you miss it? Just happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
If you're listening on demand later in the day, it just happened a little while ago. Senate Finance Committee advances RFK Jr. nomination for HHS secretary. That's going to happen now. He's not going to lose a floor vote now. Knock on wood, don't want to get ahead of myself, but absent something crazy, looks like we're on a glide path. We could be good with Tulsi. Fingers crossed. Looks like RFK.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
We're good. Are we done with the winning? Are we done with the winning? We're not done with the winning, folks! Dan, why are you yelling? Because I am in a freaking mood. Folks, every morning I wake up. You know how long the show takes me to put together now? Seriously. I'm not kidding. It used to take two hours, sometimes three. I'd start at three, sometimes I'd end at six.

The show takes like 45 minutes now. Because I'm already done with the show by the time I get home. Because so much freaking winning happens even during the show. During the freaking show. Eric Daughtry, tweet, 20,000, no, 20,000, 2-0-0-0-0. 20,000 federal workers have taken Donald Trump's buyout-to-resign offer so far, according to Axios. Ladies and gentlemen.

Karate Man! What is this, Guy? Here, show it for the audience. Zoom in on that. Yu-Gi-Oh? Karate Man? Gotta give Justin some love, too. He got me people. 20,000 federal workers. Ladies and gentlemen, the winning is just endless these days. The show is almost just like the winning show. Every morning is like freaking Christmas now, is it not? You know what's crazy about that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
What do I always tell you, right, about contrasts? Contrast work in politics. When you say X is going to do this, we're Y and we're going to do this. And the contrast is so totally different. Contrast work in your actual life, though, your political life, IRL, what they call it in real life, too. When you go from a situation we were all in of absolute misery under the Biden tyranny.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
To every day for the last two weeks feeling like Christmas. Am I crazy chatsters? Yes or no? Am I nuts? No, I'm not nuts. Please tell me no, I'm not nuts here. It feels that much better because we were so, it's like we were, here's normal levels of happiness, right? Here's us in the Biden years, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
So if you were at normal levels of happiness and now we're here under Trump exceptional levels of happiness, it feels like this amount, right? But because we were here, it feels like this amount. You get what I'm saying? So it feels like the happiness and the elation is that much better. I know I'm not crazy. This has just been an amazing couple of weeks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
And I got to tell you, I am really honored to be a part of it on the content creation side and motivating the Bongino Army to get big things done. However, there is a really big fight out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
And ladies and gentlemen, if you follow the Twitter traffic, the true social traffic, the social traffic out there, you are probably starting to understand the Democrats are in, I don't know, the words meltdown, meltdown are probably overused, melting down, meltdown. The Democrats are absolutely freaking out in a total panic over USAID. And please don't call it USAID. It is not an aid agency.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Use code Bongino for 47% off your first order. You get it? 47% off. Folks, I had to like throw in, look at it. You know why the ink's a separate color on my rundown? Yes, I still write my rundowns down. Writing is good. Typing's not as good. You know why? Because I had to add a whole bunch of new winning in this morning. Because it just happened. Americans still have kitchen table problems.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
It is not. The Democrats call it USAID for a reason. All right. hey, you're picking nits. I'm not picking nits. They call it that because they want you to believe it's about aid. It is not about aid. It's about deep state pockets of money used to infiltrate governments, NGOs, and other places for an anti-American censorship agenda. It's Agency for International Development. You call it USAID.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Do not call it USA. Don't fall in the trap. Even Rubio did that and caught himself right away. You'll see what I mean coming up. Folks, I can't explain. Listen to me, okay? Let me calm down a second because I'm very excited about today's show. USAID is probably the single greatest slush fund for the deep state you've ever seen. What do I always tell you?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Measure the effectiveness of something you're doing by the level of panic on the left. If they're panicking about something, it's for a freaking reason. If the level of panic was one through 100, right, I would gauge the level of the freak out at about a 95 right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
They are losing their minds because their slush fund for censorship, for anti-democratic movement, socialist governments, transgender ideology around the world is going to dry up if Donald Trump dies. does what he's doing with Elon, and gets rid of USAID. It is ground zero for the fight against the deep state. Listen to me. Very simply stated. Sound bites and snapshots.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
USAID is the deep state slush fund. You empty it out, the deep state, you'd have to volunteer your services, and none of these people are going to do that. Folks, this is important to me. Seriously for a moment here. I've been fighting this fight for too long.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
What started with Parler, which believe me, nobody knows the real, I love when people, I can't say this enough, I love when people comment online about it who have no idea what happened there. What happened there, what started there, what I saw behind the scenes,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
the left-wing NGOs, the government pressure to stop you from speaking online, what later turned into ParallelEconomy.com and then turned into investments in Rumble and elsewhere. What I have seen behind the scenes, the war against free speech by these deep state NGOs funded by places like USAID, Folks, I could fill a book with it. Oh, look, I did. So I wrote books on this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
If you read my, I'm not trying to sell you my book. Let me just period, I'm just saying in advance. Get it from the library. I don't care. Borrow it from your friend. There are 100,000 plus copies out there. My book, Follow the Money. It's right there behind me. My book, Follow the Money. I want you to please read the chapter called Insane in Ukraine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
The whole book is about following the money trail, NGOs and stuff like that, how it played into collusion and everything else. But the Insane in Ukraine chapter in my book, Follow the Money, you want to see how USAID, operations like that work with NGOs and Soros and how it fit into Ukraine, Ukraine funding, the impeachment hoax. It's all in the chapter. It's not even that long.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
It's about 15 pages. Your eyes will be wide open. It'll blow you away. Follow the money. Just read that one chapter. It's all I'm asking. Insane in Ukraine. And you'll see why USAID and these other places. This has been on my mind for a long time. Let me get to some video here. The great Mike Benz, who we love, deep state specialist Mike Benz, a PhD level deep state analyst.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Benz posted this video online. This is about a minute of a much longer video. I want you to notice, if you're listening on audio on Apple and Spotify, at the bottom is a little watermark of this video, and it says USAID right after you see it.

What the hell was USAID funding operations like this where the first minute of their video is all about censorship disguised as, you guessed it, disinformation? Your tax dollars were funding this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
Thank you for screenshot that. Thank you. Right there. Countering disinfo. What's on the bottom left for audio listeners? USAID. What the hell are your tax dollars doing financing a censorship operation? What have I been telling you as someone who has lived this for now forever? Five to six, maybe seven years now, the censorship battle.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump’s Most Important Fight To Date (Ep. 2415)
If the left doesn't have censorship and USAID to fund it, they have nothing. Do you understand the left's ideas are so crazy? Let me just give you one tangible example of what I mean, of the craziness of the left. Think about the COVID crisis, right? When they told you to put a freaking face diaper on your face that was going to stop COVID. Even though every person who wore a mask got COVID.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Folks, I hope you understand we're starting early today for a reason. Just a tragic situation last night. Everybody's worst fear. I have a fear of flying and have for a long time because of the lack of control. I mean, you're obviously not on a steering wheel handling a stick shift, a gas pedal, or a brake. Your life is in someone else's hands. Well, I've had this fear of flying for a long time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
When he speaks, we're going to try to take as much as we can of it live. We're probably not going to take the whole thing because sometimes he takes some questions at the end. This is a live stream, but a lot of people watch it on demand as well. I have to address this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
It's sad, it's gross, it's disgusting, but folks, there is an impulse with our communist media, as always, as I said to you yesterday, especially with the liberal media, to lie, to mislead, to propagandize, to play dumb, or just in fact, be dumb. The problems, I fly a lot. I wish I didn't, but I do. It's not something to brag about. It's not a badge of honor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
However, just in the last six months, we have probably been on about 20 flights back and forth, which for me is a lot. We fly for business. We have family all over the country. I've got four or five flights scheduled in the next few weeks alone. We are constantly dealing with this. We flew out of Teterboro recently. We had a massive delay. Why FAA? Why FAA? Flight control. Why FAA?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
These problems at the FAA have been going on a long time. In case liberal media people and the dumb ass producers missed it, the guy in charge for the last four years, his name is Joe Biden. And his transportation secretary was not Sean Duffy, who was sworn in literally yesterday. OK, it was Pete boot edge edge. OK, boot edge edge. Who seemed more focused on DEI over actually fixing the FAA.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Did that have anything to do with this? I have absolutely no idea. And I'm not going to speculate. However, put up the Fox News piece, if you would. This is a real problem. You can see it yourself. Look at the date, February of 2024. It's now almost February of 2025.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Republican attorneys general warned the Biden administration of catastrophic consequences of the FAA pushing DEI over merit-based hiring. Again, Did that have anything to do with this? I wouldn't dare say so this early because I apply my own Bongino rule.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I love you all the P ones and the listeners out there in the Bongino army, you guys and ladies are the best in the business. And you know why? Because you never get ahead of yourselves. I'm on X this morning and Michael and I were chatting about it before. I mean a total show and it rhymes with fit. What a mess. People are ready with a thousand different theories.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
However, I find it fascinating that the dumbass people in the liberal media are already blaming Donald Trump or implying somehow Donald Trump, who's been in office, what, 10 days now, had anything to do with this flight disaster that happened yesterday. This is disgusting. Here is Mika Brzezinski doing what they do best, pushing propaganda and lying to people. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Is this for real? Is that did that just happen? The former Department of Transportation secretary was the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a lovely city I love. But you're going to claim he had special expertise?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Unlike a multi-term congressman and lawyer who was a news commentator, a prosecutor, and who's been in the public eye dealing with these situations in Congress for years, you're really going to go there? That pothole Pete? Pothole Pete was the pinnacle of expertise. Mika Brzezinski is a disgusting human being. Disgusting. She kissed Trump's ass to get back in the White House.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
This is why presidents should never take a meeting with these idiots ever. She is a disgusting human being. Pothole Pete and your sight and expertise over a bronze star winning military officer with an Ivy League education and Pete Hegseth. Over Kash Patel, a DOD and DOJ trained professional, worked at the highest levels of the Trump White House.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Over Sean Duffy, a skilled lawyer, prosecutor, and multi-term congressman out of a swing state. And you're citing expertise? Are you shitting me, man? Ladies and gentlemen, however much you hate the media, you don't hate them enough. They deserve every ounce of this. This is why they suck. This is why nobody believes them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And whereas we can start this show fairly and say, yes, we're in charge now and we have to fix this. It's our job. Here are open questions. I don't have the answers. Notice how they've already drawn a conclusion. Disgusting.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Here's CNN, again, implication here that somehow Donald Trump, although he's been in office 10 days, the left has done nothing but obstruct the nomination process to get people in there, is somehow blaming the nomination and confirmation process that they delayed, by the way, for not having people in. I mean, this is really just gross. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Why do we need to draw a conclusion? I don't understand why we need to do this. Not you, not you. I want to be absolutely clear, not you. I don't understand why we're not even 24 hours out and everyone has the need to jump on clicks on X to say, I definitely know what you, I promise you don't know what happened. I promise. It is okay to say that. It is also okay to ask questions.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Again, CNN and MSNBC, by implication, pretending the Biden administration wasn't in charge for four years with Pothole Pete at the DOT, Department of Transportation. Folks, these FAA problems have been known about forever. This is not new. Folks in the chat, and again, we started early today. Sorry to folks if you missed me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Please watch the beginning of the show on demand where we cover some open questions, which I'm going to get to again as we wait for President Trump to speak. We're going to try to take as much as we can of it live. I don't want to steal from you any of the content you came here for. That's why we started early. I hope you all understand.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Folks, if you fly, folks in the chat, confirm this story for me. You know for a fact there have been, since COVID, significant problems staffing the FAA. I'm telling you, I just flew out of New Jersey on a three, four-hour delay not that long ago on a flight that shouldn't have had a delay. And the reason, clear skies and everything, staffing issues, FAA. It happens all the time. Now...
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Secretary Duffy is going to get it fixed. So is President Trump. But it's up to me to be honest with you and not BS you, okay? It's not going to happen overnight, folks. Joe Biden buried us in a four-year hole. Secretary Pete, all of his losers in the Biden cabinet, they destroyed the Pentagon and elsewhere. It's not going to be rebuilt overnight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Secretary Duffy has been the secretary for barely, not even 24 hours yet. It's going to take a long time to unscrew. This is why, again, however much you hate the media, it's not enough. There's a lot going on today. We got Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard up on Capitol Hill. This is really one of those triage days where it's my responsibility to make sure I get to you everything in digestible nuggets.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
So just bear with me. I just want to end where I began about this tragic story over Reagan Airport in D.C., The crash avoidance system, what happened with it? Is it an altitude issue? Did it turn off automatically? Those are open questions I'm going to leave to aviation experts at this point.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Was it a situation of target fixation where the pilot from the helicopter just did not see that specific aircraft? Because remember, there's another aircraft. You can see it all over the place was taking off. Did they happen to see that? If they were flying with night vision, folks, have you ever used night vision? Anyone in the chat?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
This is what I just find hard to believe, and I don't want to jump to any conclusions. Bongino rule definitely applies here. However, if you're flying with the night vision on, those lights on the plane are really, really, really bright. That's what night vision does. Depending on which specific version of it you're using, either one, it doesn't matter. The lights, it's even harder to miss.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Now, it does close off your visual field a little bit. Why were these flight paths intersecting? Was it an altitude issue or was it? And again, was it an intentional act? Was it an accident? I strongly believe this was probably an accident. However, I'm not jumping to any conclusions on it. Okay, we're getting ready for President Trump to speak on it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
However, there is a ton of breaking news today. Kash Patel is up on Capitol Hill right now in case you all missed the open. The Democrats, of course, are doing what they always do. Are you a conspiracy theorist? Why did you appear on this show, that show, this show? Kash is doing just fine. I'm asking you a personal favor about this. We got Secretary Hegseth through.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I have five open questions I want to get to. We'll play the footage we have. And the reason we're starting early is Donald Trump is going to speak, President Trump, excuse me, at 11 o'clock. And I want to take some of it live. We'll do our best to take as much of it as we can. So we got you all covered today. Stand by. Folks, increase tariffs on our trade partners, tax cuts and regulation changes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Secretary Duffy sailed through with no problem. I'm hoping it's soon to be Attorney General Pam Bondi sails through no problem. I don't see any issues there. But I need a favor from you and the Bongino Army. We're the most powerful force out there. We just are. The numbers don't lie. I need you to send a respectfully worded email if you could. Please. Okay, yeah, just kidding.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Let me keep my eyes on it. Two, your senator, your home state senator today, I don't care if it's a Democrat or a Republican, and just say we strongly support Kash Patel for FBI director. I'm telling you he's the right guy and I can prove it to you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Just go on X and look at the deep state liberal accounts hiding behind like phony avatars and everything who are doing everything they can to keep Kash out of there. Ask yourself a question. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
OK, always, always gauge the effectiveness of a cabinet appointee or a personnel decision, a law piece of legislation, whatever it may be, by how your enemies and the deep state liberal accounts pretending to be us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
They absolutely hate Kash Patel and have sacrificed any human dignity to try to keep this guy out because they know they know with certainty he is going to go and take those rocks and turn them over. Okay, folks, what a time to be alive. I mean, I've never seen anything like this. There was another hearing yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
It is really important to me, again, to triage the news cycle so I give you all the news nuggets that are interesting, but we can't forget what happened yesterday either. Bobby Kennedy, who has been nominated to be secretary of HHS, was up on Capitol Hill at a hearing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And there were a lot of things that happened up there that are important for us to understand the political environment at the time. This is an amazing time to be alive. Michael, you ever seen anything like this where we're watching the role reversal of the two parties in live time?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
The Democrats previously claimed, claimed, it's important, to be the party of tolerance, the working man, coexistence, attacking big pharma, to watch this role reversal in live time where the Democrats attacked the working man. engage in full-blown lack of coexistence and tolerance by claiming if you're white, if you're Jewish, if you're Asian, you're not one of us, you're white adjacent.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
But if you meet these criteria, I mean, the most racist people possible is the modern liberal, right? Have you ever seen a role reversal like this? Democrats attacking tech companies, supporting big pharma. I've never seen anything like this. And I don't use that term big pharma as a pejorative. They're just big companies. I know the Democrats do. Thank God we have pharmaceutical companies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
You know, they kept me alive after I got cancer. They have created modern medicine. Thank God. However, you know, there are obviously issues with how they operate. And Bobby Kennedy is going to be looking into that. So I want you liberals out there who are watching my show, because I know you do, because this was important. I want you to tell me what exactly is untrue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And be specific in my chat if you're there, like the Joe Ragu clown yesterday. Tell me exactly what you disagree with and what's untrue about what RFK said in his opening yesterday about why the hell is the richest country on earth so freaking unhealthy?

I want to say something about what you first said. When I launched my campaign, it was about uniting Americans, Democrats and Republicans. There's no issue that should unite us more than this chronic health epidemic. There's no such thing as Republican children or Democratic children. These are our kids. 66% of them are damaged.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I know what a healthy kid looks like, because I had so many of them in my family. I didn't know anybody with a food allergy growing up, peanut allergy. Why do five of my kids have allergies? Why are we seeing these explosions in diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, neurological diseases, depression, all these things that are related to toxic to the environment?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Why can't we just agree with each other to put differences about so many issues, intractable issues aside and say, We're going to end this. I don't think anybody is going to be able to do this like I have because of my peculiar experience, because I've litigated against these agencies. When you litigate against them, you get a Ph.D. in corporate capture and how to unravel it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
What do you disagree with there? What? I'm not suggesting that. Me and RFK, RFK was a Democrat, and I share very little in common with him on his past with environmentalism, which I believe is used as a proxy. I've come into this with an open mind, however. What did RFK say there you disagree with? Folks, listen, I'm not here to give you sob stories, but I was a really ridiculously unhealthy kid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I was. You don't need my life story because I'm not going to bore you to death. However, you name some malady, I had it. asthma, eczema, whatever it was. I went through a lot growing up. Who really cares? I was told by medical professionals, I'm not knocking doctors or anything like that in stereotypes, but it's true. Oh, it's this, it's that.

Do not take medical advice from me. What's wrong? I started cleaning my skin with... got the staff out from under the fingernails. And I never had to deal with any of these problems ever again.

I don't even have one of those inhalers anymore. I probably should in case there's an, but I don't. Probably not. I don't because I'm just so not used to it anymore. What is going on here?

Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
For those in our chat and elsewhere and the liberals listening to the show, most of my listeners can get past the fact that RFK has a political past they don't necessarily agree with because we are outcome-based. And if RFK is going to HHS to answer these questions like why we're so unhealthy, my listeners are like, that sounds like a good outcome for me. Why can't Democrats do the same?
The Dan Bongino Show

Democrats loved RFK forever until RFK said, I think Donald Trump is a better guy to make America healthy again. And then what happened? These fake, phony frauds were like, that guy's Hitler, fascist, a Nazi. It shows you one side stands on principle and outcomes while the other side is completely full of crap.

All these Democrats are opposed to me for partisan issues. They used to be my friends. Agreed with me on all the environmental issues that I've been working on for my whole career. Now they're against me because anything that President Trump does, any decision he makes, has to be lampooned, derided, discredited, marginalized, vilified.

Folks, this is my, I've discussed this often on the show, it's the Dan Bongino show your ass theory, okay? What does that mean? I haven't brought it up in a while. It's this impulse amongst Democrats, and Michael said it right. This is political politician Democrats. The average rank and file Democrat still loves RFK. OK, this is how detached these people are on Capitol Hill from reality.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And these bureaucrats and bureaucratic class out there to show your ass theory is this. The Democrats to show allegiance to their donors and the crazy class which financed the party. One guy will say. Trump's a racist. The other guy who then doesn't get a donation because he didn't say it harsh enough. The other guy go, well, that didn't raise money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
So I learned from this guy, I'm going to say something worse. No, he's a Nazi. And it's like, oh, I got a donation. And the other guy's saying, well, donors are like, you got to up the ante. So they all have to show their ass and say increasingly crazy things.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
This is how you get to the point where RFK, a career Democrat, who Trump is approaching this as some kind of team of former rivals approach, but people who are loyal this time, this is why Democrats discredit themselves in the eyes of the public. Here's another clip from yesterday. Folks, this Make America Healthy Again thing is... Listen, can I talk to you straight?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Yesterday's hearing is one of the most important things you... If you can watch it in total, I recommend you do, even in lieu of my own show. Folks, I'm a guy who's been through a lot. Cancer, horrible childhood nonsense, 19 orthopedic surgeries so far. I've not been a healthy guy my whole life. I'm saying this seriously. I don't mean this isn't clown show time.

With an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau and thousands of happy customers, you can trust Birch Gold. Text Dan to the number 989898 today. Message and data rates apply. You know what, guys? I'm going to skip the bell today. I don't usually do that, but given the tragic circumstances, that's usually more of a celebratory event for me starting to show, but I'm not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Don't mistake a lot of the show muscles and all this stuff. I've been through a lot. My body is pretty broken down. If you're not healthy, you have nothing. You do not want to look your kids in the face like I had at one time and say, kids, your father has cancer and have no, you don't. This is serious, literal life or death stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And Bobby Kennedy is asking questions that we should all be asking, absolutely regardless of your political ideology. Here's another clip right here. Asking again, simple questions. How are we the richest country on earth and we're plagued with diabetes and all these other problems? Are we poisoning ourselves? Seems like we are. Listen to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
The same chemicals that kill fish make people sick also. Today, Americans' overall health is in grievous condition. Over 70 percent of adults and a third of children are overweight or obese. Diabetes is ten times more prevalent than it was during the 1960s. Cancer among young people is rising by one or two percent a year.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, Alzheimer's, asthma, ADHD, depression, addiction, and a host of other physical and mental health conditions are all on the rise, some of them exponentially. The United States has worse health than any other developed nation, yet we spend more on health care, at least double and in some cases triple as other countries.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Last year, we spent $4.8 trillion, not counting the indirect costs of missed work. That's almost a fifth of GDP. It's tantamount to a 20% tax on the entire economy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
All right. President Trump's getting ready to come out and speak. I want to address some of what RFK said. So we're going to take some of this live. You guys can. OK, let me see if I can. Can you get me to hear it, too? I want to I want to hear what he has to say.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
This is going to be deadly serious stuff today. So let me ask some open questions first. If you're just waking up, getting the news, maybe you're out in the West Coast, Reagan Airport, There was a flight. It was descending, getting ready to land in what is unquestionably very congested airspace.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
There are a lot of programs, some I'm familiar with, we're obviously not going to be talking about, that involve tracking a lot of these incoming and outgoing aircraft. It's a very congested area. It is not a huge airport. It is a very tough place to land due to the congested space. Aircraft is landing. It is a flight from Wichita, Kansas.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Gets into a collision with a Black Hawk helicopter on an Army training mission, according to what Secretary Hegseth said. It doesn't appear at this point that there are any survivors. Appears going to be close to 60 plus souls lost, which is horrific, obviously. So some open questions first, which we'll address. And we have some footage going on here, too, that we're going to get to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
You're free to watch the rest of it. I just want to make sure we got Donald Trump's statement in there because there were a couple of takeaways from there where I would be remiss if I did not repeat them because they were important. Number one, he's appointing immediately an acting FAA commissioner.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Obviously a good idea right now, given that the FAA commissioner under Pete Buttigieg and the Biden administration had since resigned. That's big news. He emphasized, I saw some of you in the chat disagree. Again, I don't, I have no problem with Trump's communication style. I'm from Queens, New York, like he is. Some of you do, fair enough.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Some of you thought that maybe he should have been a little bit more emotional about Fair enough. I'm just telling you that transactional Donald Trump is always transactional Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
and footage of the crash, which I'll warn you, you may not wanna see it, but it's important that we cover it accurately. Number one is these aircraft,
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And he keeps reemphasizing and saying this over and over about how this doesn't make sense, common sense, how this aircraft and this aircraft were in the exact same altitude because he doesn't get it as a transactional guy. How the hell did this happen? And that's what he's asking his people. He just happens to air that. That's just how he is and how he communicates.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And I think another takeaway, if you saw me taking notes during it, was his mention of the fact we got Secretary Duffy up there taking some questions now as well of tapes. He says he's seen or heard some tapes. He wasn't really specific. He said he saw the Kennedy Center tapes. But he also, I think, mentioned at some point, I've seen or heard these tapes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I'm assuming he's talking about air traffic control. My guess is he knows something about the FAA stuff. And again, if the media is going to politicize this right away and blame Donald Trump as a transactional guy, he's going to say, well, here's the problems I'm trying to fix. I don't have an issue with it. I know some of you may. And that's and that's fair enough. But I don't.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I don't have any issue with it at all. I want a transactional guy in there. I want to solve this problem. This has been a major disaster, and we need some answers, and I believe he's the guy to get them, along with Secretary Duffy. All right, quick break. We're going to get back to some more of the show that I have prepared for you because some important things happened yesterday as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
You know, seeing my dad over the holidays was really special. We're all gathered around the table talking, sharing some stories, talking about our time at Yankee games growing up. But, you know, that was a while. Millions of Americans over the age of 65 started to lose their hearing, including my father. So it's hard to hear, especially in a loud room for him. My father was one of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
not so much the helicopter, but the airplane involved, they have this crash avoidance system built in that if you've done anything with FAA, TRACON, TFRs, ADASs, FRIZs, air security picture stuff, which we do, you're pretty familiar with how this works. I'm not a pilot. I'm not the Wikipedia pilot. I don't pretend to be a pilot.

Let's get back to the show. So a couple of other things happened yesterday during the hearing as well. This use of the pejorative conspiracy theorist to reference Bobby Kennedy. Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to disregard that completely. It is nothing but a slap in the face designed to discredit a guy who has asked some questions. Some questions he's been right about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Some he may be wrong about. We'll see. But Bobby Kennedy addressed this yesterday. And this is exactly how you answer this question. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Yeah, that's right. Are you a conspiracy theorist? That is a pejorative, Senator, that's applied to me, mainly to keep me from asking difficult questions of powerful interest. I was told that I was a conspiracy theorist. That label was applied to me because I said that the vaccines, the COVID vaccine,
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
didn't prevent transmission, and it wouldn't prevent infection when the government was telling people, Americans, that it would. I was saying that because I was looking at the monkey studies in May of 2020. I was called a conspirator. Now everybody admits it. I was called a conspiracy theorist because I said red dye caused cancer. And now FDA has acknowledged that and banned it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I was called a conspiracy theorist because I said fluoride lowered IQ. Last week JAMA published a meta review of 87 studies saying that there's a direct inverse correlation between IQ loss. I could go on for about a week.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I'm just telling you things we've dealt with, having dealt with the air security picture often. Was that off when you get within a certain landing distance and a certain altitude? Was it working? Was it, is it off? Is it off automatically? If, why didn't it go off?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Folks, that's exactly how you answer that question every single time. Are you a conspiracy theorist? Well, tell me which one of these is a conspiracy, number one, and which one's theoretical, because I seem to have been accurate about all of these. Here's another one. It's my last one from the HHS hearing yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Folks, if we can't make America healthy again, we're not going to have much of a country. If we don't have a healthy country that can defend itself, we don't have a country. We have a suggestion of one. You should never fall prey to this. I want to hat tip Rand Paul last night who was on the Ingram angle on Fox.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And for the first time ever that I've heard, I'm not saying it hasn't happened, answered this question the right way, which Senator Paul always does. Folks, when you talk about health care as a right, a capital R right, you are creating an obligation for someone else. We are a country of negative rights. In other words, the Constitution is what the government can't do to you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Can't invade your home, take your private property, can't take your business papers, it can't infringe on your free speech. Our governing documents are largely documents of negative rights, what the government can't do to you to take away your rights. To declare something a positive right, that the government has the right to declare healthcare right, creates an obligation for someone else.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Rand Paul knocked it out of the park last night on the Ingram angle on this. I've spoken about this a thousand times. Bernie Sanders does this all the time. He did it to Bobby Kennedy yesterday. Folks, healthcare is not a right, and we should be clear about that. It is an obligation for us as immoral people to find a way to get good quality health care.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Declaring it a right, a right legally, a big all right, that's what that is, means you can walk into a doctor's office ahead of every well, so I'm here to declare my right. Is that what you want? This is how you turn around. He asked Bobby Kennedy this yesterday. They do this all the time. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Senator, I can't give you a yes or no answer to that question. Is health care a human right? Is health care a human right? In the way that free speech is a human right, I would say it's different because free speech doesn't cost anybody anything. But in health care, if you smoke cigarettes for 20 years and you get cancer, you are now taking from the pool.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Was it, you know, when they get below a thousand feet, as I saw a couple of people commenting this morning, was that crash avoidance system not working or does it just go off where they below that certain altitude? So that'll be an open question because obviously that's what this system is designed to avoid. It crashed like what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
And so are you guaranteed the same thing, or is there also a duty?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
All right, folks, given all that's going on today, I think it's important that we covered what happened at the HHS hearing yesterday. If you're not healthy, there's no point in having a show because you're not going to be here to listen to it, and I'm not going to be here to broadcast it. I thought Bobby Kennedy did a fine job. I hope his confirmation process is not derailed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
But again, they're going to ask you that question all the time. When someone asks you if something is a right, you should ask them. Have you thought about the obligations that confer on other people when you declare things rights? Because the communists did that all the time, and people starved to death, millions of people, when they declared other people's food their right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
We're going to exit the show a little early today, given the news cycle going on. We started way early, so we're actually over on a little bit of time here. But I hope you understand.

The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Second, was it a case of target fixation where sometimes you'll talk to these? I will never forget one of the White House military aides was a helicopter pilot, talked to me often about flying at night, how it was difficult for him to operate at night without night vision. Also talked about things like target fixation and things like that, crowded battlefields. Did they...
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
the helicopter pilots, were they fixated on an aircraft taking off and did they miss the one landing? That's a big miss. Obviously a tragic one. Were they fixated on the wrong target? Open question. Third question, was there night vision involved? Did it have anything to do with the closing of the visual field?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Just an unimaginable situation. And, you know, I try to use my words carefully. because in times of tragedy, I think it's important to, when I say unimaginable, I mean it. I've flown in and out of Reagan, as many of you have. I mean, I think Michael just flew out of there a couple of weeks ago. I don't know, three, 400 times. I mean, it was our home airport and we were all agents in DC.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I believe the night vision was available from what I'm hearing from early reports, but it's an open question because until I get a conclusive answer, I'm applying the Bongino rule here. Fourth is the obvious one. Just how did this happen flight path-wise? This is a known flight corridor that's very busy. How did this happen? Is it an altitude issue?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Obviously, we're going to wait for some reporting on that. And then fifth, the uncomfortable question people have to ask. I see it as highly unlikely. I want to say that in advance, but it'd be irresponsible not to at least consider Was there a possibility that some of this was maybe not accidental?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I just want to say in advance, given from what I've heard from a number of pretty good sources and some media homework I've been doing, that seems highly unlikely. However, applying the Bongino rule works both ways. Don't draw conclusions means don't draw conclusions. It doesn't mean don't ever ask a question ever for the rest of your life. Then what's the purpose of this show?
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
So those are five open questions I have right now. Let's check out the VO, the voiceover. Sorry for using lingo. We'll talk over. You can see the video here on the screen right now. You see it right there. Obviously, it's not the greatest video, but you can see the aircraft on descent into the runway. And then you'll see at the end, obviously, a flashing light.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
That's the crash between right there, between the helicopter aircraft. And the plane lands in the Potomac. It apparently inverted at some point. It's in three pieces. Again, an unimaginable tragedy, and I use my words carefully. I have flown in and out of that airport so many times, as have many of you. It's nothing specific to me. I actually enjoy flying out of Reagan. It's very convenient.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
It's one of the reasons that D.C. lawmakers will do almost anything to keep that airport open and running. I don't know if you know this, but there was some significant talk after 9-11. about closing that airport because of its proximity. Now, it would be inappropriate completely for me to comment on these matters, but I think it's a matter of public information out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
There are obviously programs to control and monitor the air traffic there because, ladies and gentlemen, you make one wrong turn, you're on top of the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol like that. There is really very little time for contingency operations to take place. After 9-11, there was some talk about closing Reagan. However, the convenience of it, lawmakers use it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
The talk about closing, it has now pretty much disappeared. The only talk now is how to expand it. So there is significant traffic that comes in and out of there. Secretary Hegseth issued a statement. Secretary Pete Hegseth, of course, Secretary of Defense. Aisha Hosni reported on the statement on her Twitter feed. She's a reporter from Fox. Quote, this was an annual proficiency training flight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
It was a fairly experienced crew that was doing a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles. We'll see if they were using them or not. That's why I'm going to leave that an open question. The 12th Aviation Battalion, as of now, was granted a 48-hour operational pause on contingency missions as what happened is reviewed. Obviously, Secretary Hegseth's a guy I trust.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
He's not going to lie to us. When we get some conclusions on what happens, I'm sure he'll be the one to tell us. Let me say as well, I have a lot of personal connections to the cabinet secretaries involved. They have been in office for less than a few days, including Secretary Hegseth, who just swore in. Secretary Duffy, Sean Duffy, former congressman, another close personal friend.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I mean, obviously the father of Evita, who's, I mean, it's just obvious, one of the hosts of our show here. So we have a lot of close personal ties. Secretary Duffy just swore in yesterday. yesterday so talk about i mean they won on a job so his briefings have been as good as you can expect at this point but he just got there he just got there dealing with this unimaginable tragedy um
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
It's how we got pretty much everywhere. It was either that or Dulles. And I never imagined the situation where there would be a midair with a helicopter, right? It's a sensitive topic for me, obviously, because of the tragic nature of it, but also because I've been involved in a number of helicopter flights in that exact same area.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I want to play this. It's a clip from CNN. Disregard that it's CNN for a second. Sometimes on these matters, I just go to the commentators. This guy is a subject matter expert, a guy by the name of Pete Muntean. But this is a really, really informative clip where he's talking about Again, I'm trying not to talk about this like I'm some kind of like new Wikipedia pilot. I am not an expert on this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Let me say this in advance. I am not a pilot. But I have been on both of these aircraft, Blackhawks, and obviously just flying into Reagan many times. If you've ever been on a Blackhawk, you'll notice right away that these helicopters are typically designed for air-to-ground missions. You know, they're not typically air-to-air missions.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
They're designed for air-to-ground missions, especially these. So when you look at the visual field of the helicopter, it's hard to see up but relatively easy to see down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
I want you to listen to this guy, Pete Monteen on CNN, who explains pretty well, this clip's about a minute 30, but it's worth your time, about if there was a visual obstruction and this is just a catastrophic, we didn't see him and we crashed into each other, which we'll never know because it appears everybody's dead at this point. And the Blackhawk, from what I know, does not have a black box.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Obviously the aircraft does, the airplane. I want you to listen to how the visual obstruction may have played into this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
So there's a lot in that clip. Obviously, I would prefer you listening to experts who are actual transportation, aerial transportation experts, aviation experts on visuals and how it works, because it's not my specific area of expertise. But what he's saying there is accurate from someone who's flown on these many times. And in why I was in that area, I'll have to leave for another day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
But I've flown up and down the Potomac many, many times on Blackhawks, many times. The visuals are not great, especially what he just described. Pilots looking at the ground, very difficult in the helicopter to see up. I'm not telling you that's what the reason is or the only reason. I'm just telling you you should consider it. What he's saying there is not inaccurate.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Also, at the end, there have been consistent problems with the FAA for a long time. The left's first impulse here, disgustingly, has been to politicize this. Let me just tell you in advance, it's a shame I have to cover this the way I will. We'll take President Trump when he's live in a few minutes. However, the media are disgusting.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
They're going to make cheap politics out of a situation that has been ongoing for a long time. I have to fight back. That is my job, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not going to let you be misled by communist media propaganda. Let me take a quick break. We started early today at 1045. If you want to listen to the show on demand, we'd appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
So I've seen both ends of it, the planes taking off and landing, having flown out of there, and I've flown up the Potomac many times in these helos, in these birds, and It never even occurred to me that this would happen. So here's how we're going to handle this. Number one, obviously we're going to do it responsibly. I got to tell you something right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Folks, here's why I trust Lean, and it's the real deal for weight loss. I used it. I lost about 30 pounds, as you can see if you watch my videos from about a year ago. It was created by a doctor and a researcher, and the clinical team behind Lean says if you have a few pounds to lose, non-prescription Lean, it's really not for you. You can just exercise a little more and clean up your diet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)
Lean's for frustrated dieters like I was who have to lose meaningful weight but aren't into injections. I wasn't going to take those. They work, but they can carry side effects. Those shots can lower blood sugar and regulate appetite, but the science behind lean is impressive too. It's natural, studied ingredients target weight loss in similar ways. I use it. The results speak for themselves.
The Dan Bongino Show
Tragedy on the Potomac (Ep. 2412)

Yo, what's up? Yeah, I was just asking the guys. We, I mean, we are really, when you were talking about the end stages, we were training again today in the new studio. You're going to love it. Guy and Michael, are we sure we're at least going to get a few shows in from the new studio, right, as we wrap up the program? Guy says he's not sure. Folks, get on him in the chat. Say, Guy, manifest it.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And maybe they start looking this up themselves. And they say, you know what? Crazy conservatives are right. Tax revenue keeps going up and up and up and up, and yet the deficits keep getting worse and worse and worse and worse, meaning we have a government spending problem. Folks, we're in the danger zone.
The Dan Bongino Show

There's a body of research out there, and it's been called into question about the specifics of it, but the results of it are pretty robust. Once you hit a debt level where we're floating in government debt at about 100% of GDP, which we are way over when you factor in entitlements, way over. Folks, growth just grinds to a halt. We have got to fix this.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
It is not an issue for tomorrow, stupid kick the can down the road, whatever. It's an issue for now. There's only power in now. We've got to do it now. And this is one of the reasons you're seeing some folks in the media try to draw divisions and cleave a big division between President Trump and Elon. I'm telling you, I know this from friends of mine in the administration.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
It is not going to happen. These guys respect each other. All of your articles out there, President Elon trying to get into President Trump's head, they are absolutely falling on deaf ears. How many times is he going to have to relitigate this, his support for what Elon's doing, before you realize it's a dead end? We know what you're doing. V3, Trump with the Cabinet. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
So I'm just taking a note here. He's like, I think you should, when he says you need to talk about something like Star Wars, he's been here the longest, he's got seniority. So I feel like even I work for Guy at this point. I'm like, I better say that. Do you get the point there? You see what they're doing now? What is my kind of golden rule of left-wing media analysis of things?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Be careful and learn the distinction between being told a story and the story. A story you're being told is President Elon is taking over the cabinet. Now we're moving on to the cabinet. President Trump is in danger. They're trying to play into everybody's ego. The cabinet, you guys have no authority. Elon's taking it from you. You see what they're trying to do? The story is quite different.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
He has President Trump's back. These cabinet officials understand Elon's not in charge. President Trump is. But Elon considers himself kind of like tech support. And the president, as the executive, has the power to do this. Biden, Obama have always appointed advisors. There's nothing new here. I want you to understand that. You're being told a story.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Millions of veterans and active duty military have risked and continue to risk their lives for our freedom. The irony is that our country is becoming less and less free by the day. Our phones are listening to us. Tech companies are tracking all of our online activity for profit. These days fighting for freedom can't just be the job of our military. We have to do our part at home too.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Now they're moving on to the cabinet, trying to get cabinet officials to leak behind. It's not going to happen. We don't like Elon. It's a fake WWE fight. It's not going to happen. Guy asked me to kind of clear up what's going on with Silverlock. Folks, Silverlock is going to be the new company. There are a lot of ethics laws, which we're obviously going to comply with, dotted I's, cross T's.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
So I have to divorce myself from the company. So we're going to move the company. It's going to be a relabeled silver lock, but nothing is going to change on the tech side. Don't worry about the rumble channel and things like that, but I can't be involved with it for ethics reasons. I hope you understand. So silver lock. You'll see it right there. And you see my face on there for now.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Although if you could cut my face out again, I'd really appreciate it. That is not, is it definitely a face for radio? You see Evita, Haley, Karenia, her show starting stat. I think she already moved. I think she's down here. I was kidding again, but you guys are fast. So there's Evita, Haley, and we've got a number of surprises, but this is going to be, thank you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
But this will still be your home. It'll just be a company run, as it always has been, by Paula, and I won't be having any input. So I hope to see you guys on the other side. But silverlock.com if you want updates. Silver, L-O-C-H, silverlock.com. They'll give you all the updates, and you'll see. It's not going to change much for you guys. It'll change a lot for me.

So thank you for asking that question. Guy's been monitoring the chat. All right, quick break, and I'm going to get back to this, showing you how...

The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You know, you diet, lose weight, then you gain it all back with a few extra pounds, and then you get that really bad look because you lost your muscle too? You don't want to do that. It's not good for you. Studies show it can increase your risk of a heart attack, stroke, type two diabetes, and other health problems. You wind up looking worse at the end of it too.

America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
When you hit this massive tidal wave of debt that equals 100% of your GDP, without talking in economic wonkery, you know, you guys get it, you're smart. It's the equivalent of, say your salary is $80,000 a year. You're doing okay, you're not doing great, but you're doing okay. You're supporting a couple of kids, you get to take a vacation.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
If you owed $80,000 a year and you cannot keep up with the interest payments at all, so that you're barely paying down the interest, so the principal keeps building because the interest is getting piled in, right? You are in a lot of fiscal trouble. That is the tipping point. That's where we are right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I'm not trying to scare you, provoke anxiety, because panic, you don't want to, the bed, it rhymes with hit, that's no good. Never do that. Don't panic. But knowledge is power. We are at the tipping point now. We could be looking at a really dangerous scenario if we don't get this under control. Elon's a smart guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Guy sends rockets into space, catches them with those chopsticks things on the way back. He reinvented the car market. He's not dumb. He understands the simple math of this. Here he is, V4. Elon's talking about his goal. He wants to stop the country from going bankrupt. This isn't hard. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I do it every time because I've only got a couple of weeks left with you guys before I engage in this new mission here. Do you guys hate these economic segments? Yeah. Let's do it. No, let's make it easy. Okay. Yes. You like them. Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
So why or yes or no, I hate them because I've got two weeks left and I'm really fascinated by this stuff because, and I'm only, the only reason I'm fascinated by it is the answers are so easy. The implementation is hard. I understand getting the media and Congress to act and bureaucrats and lobbyists to act because they're all feeding from the government trough. I understand that that's hard.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I get, wow, man, this chat is like, Chris at Rumble tells me we melt the chat like no one else. Okay, wow, good. Thank you. The answer is so simple. It is actually this simple. Notice I didn't use, I hate literal. It is actually this simple. Just stop spending a lot of money. That's it.

Because if we grow at two or 3% and our debt only grows at 1%, then we will eventually at some point mathematically get ahead of the debt. But we're not doing it. It's really stunning. I played the bankruptcy win. So when we talk about this bloated federal bureaucracy, Queue up for me if you would, V5.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
There is a reason Elon, OPM, the Doge, and President Trump, who's in charge of all of this, he's the country's chief executive. You saw the constitutional lesson by the great Scott Jennings in the beginning, okay? When they sent out an email to federal employees saying, hey man, can you just list five things you did? Basically, all you had to do was hit reply.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You could have put a character in there. They would have at least known you were watching your email. This is not a winner to the Democrats out there attacking Elon and Doge and the team and OPM for doing this. Trust me when I tell you, I'm not here for political advice, especially moving forward.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I'm just telling you, this is a loser of an argument because every American that works for a living at some point has had to tell their boss, or show their boss, here's what I did today. Everyone, check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
It's all you had to do, man. All you had to do. You realize your five things you probably could have responded back. Barney, Power Rangers, the Flintstones. It doesn't matter. No one was reading it.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I sincerely doubt someone at OPM was going to go through every email and wrote, hey, Guy wrote back that he fixed Wirecast yesterday, did training at the new studio, moved some of the objects and cameras over, debugged the system. No one was reading that. They just wanted you to reply to make sure you weren't dead because one of the golden rules of the Dan Bongino show is don't get dead.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Wait, I know you're going to take a break. Can we, yes, we got to, where's that Kim Strassel thing? Can we put that up there now? I know I'm going all out of order, but this is so important. I'm on the air yesterday on radio. You want to see how inefficient your government is, however bad you think it is. I promise you it's worse, okay? Kim Strassel has this piece up, 12 Things.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
She writes on Wednesday and Thursday. It's always a good, I like Kim's work. Again, it's not a big MAGA person, but that's okay. You gotta get a wide variety of ideas in there. She has this piece up called We Pay Dead People. Yes, and in the piece, there is apparently, folks, I don't know if you knew this, there's a death file, a master death file in the government. In other words, who's dead?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
The of course the media hysteria continues over my transition from the business world back into the United States government. Don't worry. We will not be doing a segment on that today. I'm kind of worn out about it. You are too.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And she writes, while Social Security does mistakenly pay out beneficiaries, the IG reports that many of the $72 billion in improper payments was overpayments to living people. Okay, fair enough. Good to know. I like facts. So she goes on. I was totally unaware of this. Part two of that one. that there's a master death file, apparently. And look at this. Read this.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You want to, like, pull your hair out? With me, it's hard. It's so short. You wouldn't want to do it anyway. What is that called? Is that trichotillomania for you psychology majors in there? Forget it. I'm going to take it back to my psych days. The far bigger problem is that the Treasury Department, until recently, did not have access to Social Security's master, basically, death list.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
So it was unable to add the names to a do-not-pay system, which other agencies use. She writes checks to pay heating costs, housing subsidies, disability insurance, pensions, farming, Medicaid, Medicare, disaster aid. She goes on and on. The Treasury Department, up until recently, had no access to this death list at all. Folks, how many of you out there run a small, medium, or large business?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Can you imagine having an employee who quits and is dead and they're still getting an employment check and nobody picks it up? I mean, some. Yeah, play it. Play it. Play this video. Check this out. I did see this one.

And there's so much going on that in the last now two weeks remaining with you, I want to make sure we get to the news and we do our jobs because my job was, like I always said, edutainment. I want the show to be a hat tip boogie down productions, right? if the show is not entertaining, you're not going to stay here. But I want it to be educational, too. We're all going to learn something.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
That's impressive, man. I mean, 360 years old. Now, the Democrats' defense to this has been, oh, they're not payments going out to those people. The database is just so antiquated, old, and inefficient that it doesn't remove those people from the list. That's your defense? That a 360-year-old is still in a database you're trying to manage to pay living people Social Security?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
What is that person, Lestat? Tom Cruise from Interview from a Vampire? What are they doing to live that long? Sauna, cold plunge, collagen, NAD injections, Botox? What is happening? Gene therapy? I'd love to know. I just watched that Nosferatu, but are they Nosferatu?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Your defense is that the government just doesn't have a database efficient enough to get dead people off of a payments list from a program going bankrupt that people live on and need? That's your defense. It's sad, man. I mean, sad. We got to clean this mess up. We got two years to do it before the midterms.

The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Here's Jasmine Crockett, Democrat member of Congress, amazingly correlating the Donald Trump peace talks with the launch of World War Three. I don't know how this connection was made, but magically she manages to do it. Check this out.

America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Now, J.D. Vance, who is a remarkable vice presidential candidate with political messaging talents, we haven't seen since a guy named Donald Trump. And they make for the perfect kind of foil to each other, given their presentation styles, although getting the same message across. J.D. Vance addressed this very same topic, too. It's really shocking how the formerly...
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
dove kind of peacenik left and media people who painted george w bush as a warmonger for iraq and elsewhere whether you agreed with it or not you can go back and look that stuff up there were leftist operations like code pink i remember i was an agent when it was happening they would show up at every site on the corner with the signs you know free to protest all you want
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
But it's remarkable how the media back then in the Iraq war seemed to be interested in a more dovish approach to foreign policy. And now you've got Donald Trump saying something very simple. Hey, listen, Russia is basically a nuclear powered opponent with the United States. But there are common interests, whether you like them or not. Something that came up recently. This is important.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
There is obviously an enjoyment, entertainment component to doing content creation. Just because it's a serious topic like politics doesn't mean people need to come here and be bored. You'd be shocked how many people in this space do not understand that. A guy who gets it, and he's not even a rising star, he's just become a star, is Scott Jennings over at CNN. I say this as a compliment.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Pay attention to this. This is really important. The development in the Arctic in disputed areas, disputed because some people are claiming it in some countries that probably don't have a solid legal claim. However, there are a lot of resources up there. And with technology, the ability to get at those resources is going to require at some point diplomacy. This is just a fact.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
So Donald Trump is saying, Hey, given that we were in a complicated world where there's a lot of gray and not everything is black and white, it's probably best to talk to this nuclear powered opponent of ours in many ways, rather than engage in nuclear war, which is really shocking because as you heard with Jasmine Crockett,
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
She's making the opposite claim that somehow talking to Putin and trying to get some resolution on these complicated problems is somehow an off ramp to war. It doesn't make any sense. Vice president Vance handled this perfectly in the cabinet meeting yesterday, addressing this exact same point with the media. Please show us how, what we're doing traditional diplomacy.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I mean, remember it was Hillary Clinton with the reset button with Sergei Lavrov from the Russians. They tried to, why now all of a sudden is it so different? Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
That's what the president does as the chief executive, just like a CEO negotiates on behalf of the business. Vice President Vance is 100% correct. Folks, I am a realist on foreign policy. We have a lot of countries, a lot of foreign policy professionals on both sides when we negotiate that are looking out for their own countries near mercenary interest.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Donald Trump is starting to see through that. And he's saying, well, we need to kind of be the same way. We have to view this as a plus one, minus one. Not everything is black or white here. Perfect example was a withdrawal from Afghanistan. By the way, folks, a umbrella policy I supported. I didn't think we should have been in Afghanistan as long as we were. Just my humble opinion.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I spent some time in Afghanistan. I'm not pretending to be chief negotiator for our Afghan policy or anything like that. But I've been over there and I've seen both Kabul. I saw Bagram before President Biden pulled out and abandoned Bagram. And what happened is it resulted in the death and the collapse of a government right there and the death of American heroes in our military.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Secretary Hegseth had enough of that. And he is going to engage in an investigation on this. If you watch the cabinet meeting yesterday and the answer I'd like everybody paying attention, this is important. And Secretary Hegseth I know is on this is why did we abandon Bagram Air Base? Folks, if you've ever been there, it was a fortress military facility.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
It was a if you're talking about military facilities, this was the gold standard. Why would you abandon your castle first to go and defend and basically indefensible city in the middle of Kabul? It made no sense. And everybody warned Biden against it. That's the question I want answered. Listen to Secretary Hanks talk about this.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I don't know how this guy hasn't been fired yet. He really makes the CNN liberal host look quite silly all the time. But I got to tell you, if you missed this gem last night, this may be one of his finer performances. Keep in mind with Scott Jennings, he's typically on a panel with three to five liberals.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
This is what I'm talking about. Donald Trump, the pragmatist, the spreadsheets guy. He can't figure out why you would do something so contradictory to the mission. Hey, we need to get out of Afghanistan, which is something he was pretty much committed to.

But you don't just walk away and leave a military facility abandoned with your assets, allow the enemy to take it, and then try to defend an indefensible city. I mean, that's pretty much common sense, isn't it? By the way, I'm reading all your stuff in the chat. And guys, yes, I promise you, I'm committed to this. I'm seeing your questions, and I'm totally picking up what you're putting down.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I got you. Don't sweat it, man. I read everything. And I appreciate being, I know I keep bringing it up, I'm sorry, but I've only got a few shows left with you guys. And it is as bitter, sweet, as anything I've ever experienced. I'm at this range of emotion. By the way, I did get some sleep last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I said on the radio show, I was really having, for the first time in a while, I was having problems sleeping at night. I was getting up and there's so much I want to change and do in this new position with Director Patel at the FBI that I'm getting up in the middle of the night and I have this notebook and I'm on like page 10 right now of notes and ideas I have.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You know, everything from recruitment to morale building to, you know, it just... dramatic change and I don't want to miss any of it. Little red notebook like this. And last night, I think my body just gave up. I've been sleeping basically three hours a night. And as you can tell by today's show, where I think I seem a little more bubbly, I came into today's show all ready to go.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I probably slept 10 hours last night. I was out. I woke up, I looked at my, I keep the phone away from my head because I don't like that, you know, going off in the middle of the night. And that's going to change. And I saw it said 517. I was like, yes, finally. I've been waking up. It was like two o'clock in the morning. You see a two or a three, no dice. Folks, you know what a tautology is?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I mean, pretty devout, hardcore liberals and a host who's usually tilted in the liberal direction almost always. And he manages to constantly make everyone face plant. But last night was the best. And this is about a minute and 30, but it's worth your time. He's on with four or five liberals and they're trying to give him a quote civics lesson.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You're smart. You know what it is. Tautology is just basically a statement of truth on its face that shouldn't require repeating, a tautological statement. When you learn to see these tautologies, these tautological statements, you'll notice that the media does them all the time. And they're so ridiculous that it's the kind of thing when you see it, you can't unsee it.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Now, the only reason I'm saying this is it's meant to sound like a deep thought. Let me give you an example. Something like, young people are the future. Yeah. I, I, I, I get it. Like that's an obvious chronological fact of time, but people say it and lesser minds will be like, wow, that's deep. I promise you it's not. Why am I bringing that up?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
He's like, you got to throw this one into a Politico Trump administration fires, early career federal workers. It could alter the future of government. Can you, Can you just leave that up? Can we savor this one for a second? He did. Guy fought for this. Guy fought for this almost as he fought for the Kathleen Kennedy leaving Star Wars thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
He was like, he even wrote on my rundown sheet, which is like a major no-no. He's like, must cover. Trump administration fires early career workers. It could alter the future. The headline. It's an actual headline. Careful there. I almost turned into an accident. By the way, not everyone, I want you to, it's critical we learn and everybody, me included, and we'll get really good at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
When you start learning how to read headlines like this, which happened for me over the course of 10 years, you just kind of laugh like this is what a ridiculous headline. Of course, again, that's like young people are the future. But learn the distinction also between being told a story and the story. A story you're typically being told by a lot of people in the media is rarely the actual story.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
So a story you're being told now is that the American public is in revolt. Town halls are going crazy. They want this bloated government. This is a great thing. We shouldn't be looking into any of this. Here is a relatively left-leaning show, but very, very popular. It's called The Breakfast Club. One of the hosts is Charlemagne. You've probably heard about him.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I want you to listen to this caller that calls into this show, claims to be a federal employee. And this did not go as people expected if you're from the left. This is the story, not a story. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Hey, good morning. What's your name?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And they don't seem entirely unaware that the president's the commander in chief of the military. Just to be clear, you're on a national cable news network and you're hearing about this for the first time. for the first time on CNN? I'm not kidding. And watch the use of the term civics lesson and see who really gets one. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Can't say it much straighter than that. You don't like it, resign. Folks, again, a story and the story are not the same thing. I'm seeing it now. You know, again, with my name being in the news cycle, the questions we're getting are so preposterous, you realize, like, they're not really trying to tell the story. I had to send over my bio and everything today with regards to the new position.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And as I was typing it out, I'm like, you don't have to like it, but just tell the truth about it. And they just refuse to do it because they have this kind of preconceived notion of any conservative that agrees to serve in government, that the motives have to be malicious.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And once you have that preconceived notion in your head, it is hard to write a story with even a modicum of fairness to it, which is part of the game, but shouldn't be. All right, folks, I appreciate you tuning in. And you expect these shows to get harder and harder as we close down.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
As I transition the business over the course of the next two weeks over to a different company, Silverlock, which will be run by Paula. I really appreciate it. Evita's show will not be changing. Haley's show, which will be launching soon, Haley Carania. By the way, she's up to, I think, 30,000 or something followers. You can follow Evita's show, rumble.com.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You see it on the screen right now, rumble.com slash Evita. And we will announce that URL at Rumble for Haley's show soon, but give her a follow on X. It's H-A-Y-L-E-Y-C-A-R-O-N-I-A. I think we like five X to her followers. So she's great. You're going to absolutely love her. I can't wait.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And if you want to see what's ahead for this media company we built that I'll be divorcing myself from in the very near future, silverlock.com, silverlock, L-O-C-H.com. Oh, really? Thank God. Thank the Lord. Thank you, God. We really been, you know, I don't use his name in vain. We had like an internet meltdown in the studio this morning and Michael said it right.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
There are problems and there are problems. No internet, no show. We can do a show with no camera. Michael can pull out his cell phone and we can do a show. No internet, no show. No show. So we fixed that, thankfully. I'll see you guys on the radio show here in a little bit on Rumble and back here tomorrow at 11 a.m. Love you guys. You have no idea. See you then.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Guys, this guy is an absolute gem, okay? I'm a plus one, minus one guy. Passionate, but not emotional. If you watch my show, you get the distinction, okay? And by the way, thank you to Barrett Media, Garrett Seawright, for writing a really, really nice article. I deeply appreciate it. It said... what radio hosts can learn from Bongino or something. And it talked about how authentic the show is.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
That was really nice. Being authentic is obviously authentic. You don't really try you're authentic or you're not, but I really appreciate that. But this guy Jennings is a gem. A couple of things I want to point out. How bad does it have to be on the panel when an obviously left-leaning host like Abby Phillips, who, you know, to her credit, she has Jennings on.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And I mean, it gives her, this is smart. I mean, we used to have liberals on my show on Fox, unfiltered. He used to call, remember the rebuttal? Guy hated the rebuttal. Guy hated it. But I thought it was important on a show called Unfiltered to let liberals come on and say how they feel so that we could debate it. So hat tip to her for having Jennings on. But she's obviously left-leaning.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
How bad does it have to be when she's even correcting the panel like, yeah, the president's in charge of the military. Quote, that's how it works. You're on... Guys, listen, CNN still has an audience. It's not a huge audience, but they have an audience, okay? It exists.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Imagine being on a national cable news network and saying something so ridiculous that we're in some kind of constitutional crisis because the president is managing the military and the FBI who fall underneath the management purview of the president.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Thank you. Guy manifested it. See? Tell him to be positive. Who said it in the chat? Let's go, Guy. BT man. There you go. Do it. Get it done. Guy, you can do it. Sam H. You see? Everybody's sending positive vibes. We are going to make it happen. But I thought for a second everything crapped out. Everything's like, I don't know if it's the tech gremlin small G gods, but they are laughing at us.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Scott also has to read to them the Constitution, the powers of the presidency delineated in the Constitution that the executive powers are vested in a president, not many presidents, not the president and an independent bureaucracy, not a president, independent agencies, in a president. That's in the actual Constitution. Producer Jim has a copy on his desk.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
There's an app for the Constitution, too. I like the app. It's easy to navigate through. You can look up Article 1, Article 2 involving the presidency and Article 3 courts. You can look it up, you know. Oh, boy. You know, the resistance this time, quote, quotes, has definitely been a little more muted compared to last time.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
But I find the resistance this time to be so confused about the hills to die on, whether it's the Doge or the same fascist tyranny arguments they've been using forever, which haven't worked and you lost an election on, that it's almost turned into this like extinction burst of behavior we talk about all the time with the Coke machine.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You put a dollar in the Coke machine, you don't get a Coke and you just pound them. They're just pounding the machine because they're not being rewarded by this. But the change has been refreshing. Folks, the W's, I tell you, I have always been proud of this amazing, unbelievable, incredible country full of patriots and entrepreneurs and heroes.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I mean, the United States is the beacon of freedom, man. That flag, it's not a tablecloth. You know, it's not a napkin. The fabric part is irrelevant. It's what it stands for that matters. That's why I'm headed back.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
But watching this change, I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't feel an elevated sense of pride in what this country did for itself in rescuing itself from all the horrors of the last administration. The change has been incredible. You want to see this? You never see this in the last administration.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
This is HUD Secretary Scott Turner, wonderful guy, at the president's first cabinet meeting yesterday, at the request of President Trump, starting off a cabinet meeting with a prayer. What a refreshing change of direction. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I see all of you, man. There were a lot of comments in the chat. You guys are frying the chat. God bless him. Poving81, praise God for this moment. You guys are great. Dino Ray, amen. Dems are whack jobs. Awesome. I love you guys, man. I think you get what I get. Folks, the Constitution is not freedom from religion. It's freedom of religion.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Scott Turner and President Trump are free to pray as they wish. And man, I'm going to tell you, I've always been proud of this place. Always. even despite our ups and downs, poor leadership, terrible Democrats and Republicans in charge. However, I'd be lying to you if I said over the last month or so, I think you guys feel the same, that there's a... We stepped it up, man. We stepped it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Yesterday between Wirecast, the TV, and we're like, okay, at this point. everything's like fried, but we are going to get this done. I appreciate you all being here. I'm so excited as we kind of wind down the show and get ready for another phase in the life of Dan Bongino. It's yeah. We soon to be transitioned over to silver lock is a lot of fun. You guys have been great. Thank you for all.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
And stuff is finally getting done. Stuff we've only talked about for a really long time. And again, I'd be remiss if we did not recognize the efforts of President Trump and Elon Musk to finally do what a lot of Republicans for decades were afraid to do, which is call out the real problem. You know what? I hate to go out of order, guys. That Axios floater I had, can you throw that in there?
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I threw this, you know what I'm talking about, right? I threw this in there this morning. The Democrats, even Axios, which is a left-leaning outlet, let's be candid about it, okay? Axios, even this morning, whether they meant to do it or not, kind of implicitly recognized what Donald Trump and Elon are telling you, that we don't have a tax problem, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Our tax revenue every year to the government, even if you're a believer in big, high confiscatory tax rates, I am not, I am not, but if you are, you're still winning. Tax revenue keeps going up. Here's Axios this morning, Mike Allen. What's that? He hates it, sir. I love it. This is a good... Since Trump signed his 2017 tax, basically tax cut into law, deficits are up 248%.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
So any growth they helped achieve has been swamped by spending. Folks, you guys really need to... McGregor, P1's out there. Bongino Army folks. Screenshot this and paste it to your door. Is he not telling you what I've been telling you for the 10 years I've been doing this podcast? The tax rates at this point will, within a certain band, will almost always follow Hauser's law.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
You will get roughly the same amount as a percentage of GDP. Because as the taxes go higher, people just do more things to avoid paying taxes. Tax evasion is a crime. Clear as day. Tax avoidance is an American pastime. Folks, that's why people hire accountants. How do I avoid this? Legally. How do I avoid that? Legally. That's what they do. Keep that up for a second. Screenshot this.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Get a back tattoo of this. Fact checkers. They've been swamped by spending. They're basically admitting it doesn't matter what you tax people. The government just keeps spending more money. That's why this clip... Trump and Elon Musk at the cabinet meeting yesterday is so important. Folks, the message has to get out there that even if you're a big government guy or gal out there, I'm not.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
Even if you are, you have lost the initiative. You have lost the story. Even Axios is admitting this now. We just spend too much money. Watch this. V2.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
When you have the megaphone like President Trump, it is so critical you get this message out there. Folks, remember the third party thing. I get it. If you love big government, that argument that we're too bloated, we're too big, we're spending too much money. Spending is taxation, by the way. It's either taxation now or taxation in the future.
The Dan Bongino Show
America's A-Team Hits The Ground Running (Ep. 2432)
I get it, it's falling on deaf ears with a lot of people who fall on the left side of the political spectrum. I understand that. But remember my third party theory. It doesn't matter. There's always a third party listening who's not a Democrat or Republican. Maybe they're an independent. They're just scrolling through Twitter one day and they see this. And maybe they hear this by President Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
It's up to the Trump team to every time they start to nail down a story, start to distract them with something else because they want illegal immigration. But the DEI stuff is important to the meltdown continues. Folks, the gender ideology stuff. There's no difference between a man and a woman. There are seven thousand genders is so freaking stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Seriously, a child would understand how moronic this stuff is. But they can't give it up, no matter how many times they're humiliated. You had a Supreme Court judge now, Kentonji Brown Jackson, humiliate herself in front of an international audience and ridiculously claim to be an imbecile, stating she does not know what a woman is. It is an adult human female. Is this difficult?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
There's actual genetic evidence. Of course it isn't. They play dumb. I never, ever put this guy on my platform because he's such an embarrassing, humiliating joke that to give this guy even five seconds, it really diminishes the show. But this piece is worth it. You ever heard of this dipshit, this Harry Sisson kid? He's like 12. The guy's... Why people pay this guy, I have no idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
He's like, I guess, a Democrat influencer. He goes on the Piers Morgan show, and you'll see they don't care how dumb they look. They will stick to this DEI gender ideology bullshit no matter what, because once it goes away, everything in their culture war, people are going to start asking questions about all the other culture war components too. Watch this segment.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Yo, sorry about yesterday, man. I feel super bad about the radio show. I know it was last minute. I'm sitting here. Guy and Michael are busting their asses. They're getting a radio show. There's like two minutes between a podcast and a radio show. Show's live. Show's live. Here, look, here's me on the screen right now with the Rumble thing live. I mean, do we need proof of life?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I wrote it in the airport on the way back from D.C. And it was a thank you. Now, it was a half-hearted kind of sarcastic, wise-ass thank you, because I wanted to thank all the people who helped Donald Trump get elected. I would like, if you guys are okay with that, to repeat that show again today after covering some breaking news in the beginning.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I mean, it's a pretty freaking simple question, isn't it? Folks, I want you to put aside this stupidity for a second. I know it's hard. I'm just asking you from a practical perspective.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
If you were a member of the United States government that's about to enact laws that are going to protect your fictitious genders, yet you can't even describe what they are, what they're called, or even how many they are, how are you going to write a law? I know I'm going to take a break. I want to play this one more, though, before the break. This is soon to be the next leader of Canada.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
He's way up in the polls. Pierre Polivier asked the exact same question of a media guy. You guys keep talking about all these genders you want legal protections for. What are they? It's like asking legal protections for an endangered species. What's the species? Oh, I don't know. We're just making it up. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I'm trying not to laugh. You want legal protections for a specific gender class. You have no idea exists. You can't name what the gender class is. There is no perimeter around the fence of what you categorize as a gender class, but you want all these legal protections for this gender class. I wake up every morning and I thank the Lord, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I mean it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I don't use his name. I do. I thank him. I wake up every morning. I say, I'm Dan Bongino. I love Jesus and Jesus loves me. And you know what? I use these affirmations every day and I thank him for seeing the light. I don't thank him for being a Republican. We screw stuff up too. I thank him for seeing the light. I mean it. I really do. Can you imagine being this stupid, being a media guy?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
And the first thank you is one, and when I say thank you, dreaded air quotes, one Barack Obama. No, did I sleep well? That's crazy. Why do you think I slept well? Maybe I took some beam dreams. Guy always, see Jasmine? We got Jasmine here today. Jasmine is our new business manager. We love Jasmine. She's amazing. She started yesterday. She's watching the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Hey, you got another gender? No, no, I just heard there was some. Really? So you want me as a potential leader of Canada to draw up a massive piece of legislation about something you have no idea about whatsoever? Good job. Quick break, we're back to the show. Yes, I will. I know a lot of people in the chat are asking me about the Secret Service Director spot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I kind of said my piece on it last week. Not a lot more to say, but I'll address it quick. And then I want my, don't miss the next segment. I've got some thank yous to get out there and they're important. I think you're going to like this. Been itching to do this show for a long time. We've seen the headlines. Cyber attacks on the grid, drones in the sky, violent attacks on everyday Americans.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Here's the ugly truth. No leader, no system can protect you from anything. And if in a crisis, an emergency, you're waiting for the government to save you, you're gonna die. And I'm really sorry to tell you that. Everyone's gonna need food in an emergency and panic buying only makes it worse. You're gonna show up, your kids are gonna be like, dad, where's the food? I don't know. Don't do it.

So I'm getting a ton of questions here, a lot in the chat, and I really appreciate it. People were asking me about the official appointment of Sean Curran, who is a friend of mine. I don't want to let that get in the way. I have an obligation to you. I've said that many times. As the new Secret Service Director, first, I obviously want to congratulate him.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
It would be kind of déclassé to not do that. I hope he does a good job. And I think we all hope and pray. I hope we are praying to whatever God you pray to. And I think, you know, my savior is Jesus, but I hope that we give him the knowledge and the discernment to do the right thing, to fix this broken agency. Folks, there's a lot to fix. I let my feelings be known last week. Sean is a friend.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
He's a man of high character. He's a man with dignity. I was not sure last week. I'm not sure today. It was the right pick for right now. But ladies and gentlemen, that's not my business. I mean, it's my business because I love Donald Trump. I want to protect him. But when I say not my business, I don't mean it in the global way. I mean, in the kind of You get what I'm saying?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Donald Trump won the presidency. He's free to pick his own people. That job, as I said to you months ago, was not for me, but I would have liked to at least had some input into some stuff. They didn't want it. That's okay. It is. I know you say, people say, okay, trying to sound like it is. It's okay. Maybe they got, they may have gotten the same advice from someone else and they didn't need it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I need you guys to understand that. So I wish him the best. He's a good guy. I'm just not sure he's the right guy for right now. I think he would have been great as a deputy and you get some other kind of door kicker in there because there are two things I'm going to be watching and I don't care who the director is.

I told you I've been itching to do this show for a long time. You guys can probably go look up the piece. Anita, see if someone can find it. Conservative Review, I used to write for them years ago. And it should be posted the day after Trump won the election in 2016, November of 2016. Because I remember writing it from the airport. And I had this idea. I'm like, I have to thank a bunch of people.

Thank, like being sarcastic. And I thought it's the perfect time to do this again because Trump 2.0 does not happen without this group of idiots. So if we can find a piece, great. Let me take my last break and I'm going to get back to this. And the first person we're going to thank, and I'm going to bring you the receipts. I get it.

I first turned to the sauna blanket to help ease muscle recovery with detoxification. It's a real game changer for me and for everyone I recommend it to. It's easy to use. Just wrap yourself up.

Ladies and gentlemen, you may have forgotten this story, but it's an important one. We would not have Donald Trump being martyred by a weaponized justice system. And honestly, I'm not sure he runs again. I can't prove a counterfactual. Hold on. I'm explaining this poorly. Rewind the tape. I hate when I do that. I've got a job to get you the show precisely and succinctly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I am honestly not sure after the 2016 assault on Donald Trump, the collusion hoax and all this stuff. That if they don't go after him using the justice system, that he just doesn't ride off into the sunset. I don't know. He could have made himself a billion dollars. He still had a lot of political capital. People loved him. He could have given speeches. He could have ran all his companies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
But the fact that they turned the government against him, I think made him say, I'm not tolerating this shit. I'm going to go in there and clean this mess up. But a lot of you forget that this whole thing started with Mike Flynn. General Mike Flynn, don't ever forget this. General Mike Flynn was one of Donald Trump's first appointments in 2016 in the National Security Advisor.

I want you to listen to this closely. General Flynn wrote a manifesto.

He told Rachel Maddow, don't go after the intelligence community. They'll get you six different ways from Sunday. The IC said, no way Mike Flynn is going to be the national security advisor. So they had to take him out. Here's the thing. I'll wrap it up. They had no way to take Mike Flynn out because he'd done nothing wrong. So what happened? They made it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
They said, we're going to charge him with the Logan Act, something never successfully charged in American history. It basically made up crime because Mike Flynn, they said, contacted the Russian ambassador, which is ridiculous. John Kerry went and visited Bashar al-Assad. Whose idea was it to charge Mike Flynn with a made up fabricated crime never successfully charged in the United States history?

Like who's number one, who's number two?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
The answer is, I don't know. You guys decide. Chatsters, you tell me what you think. This guy may be more important to Barack Obama to getting Trump elected and Trump 2.0. Wait, anyone have a guess where I'm going with this? Adam Schiff, a short round says, no, close enough, but not Adam Schiff. I see if anybody gets it. Shifty, a lot of shifty's. No, not Axelrod.

So he just brought up a good point. Not only do we have to everybody in the chat, thank Fauci. Come on, get in there. You can't just thank AOC. Thank Fauci, Dr. Fauci. But he just brought up a good point. There's no question in my mind. The election doesn't turn out. I don't think Trump probably would have won. But does he win in the landslide without these idiots?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
The answer is I'm not really sure. But keys like Dan, you know what? We really owe him a debt of gratitude, too, because this guy has been an absolute cornucopia of content for the last, what, four years?

If Jack Smith does not drop another L, which he did, remember, this guy's lost at the Supreme Court. More than most qualified lawyers will ever see the Supreme Court in their lifetime. If Jack Smith doesn't do what he did prosecuting Donald Trump, I'm not sure, again, we win in the exact dynamic we won with. Here's an MSNBC segment quickly where we note Jack Smith was not given a pardon.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
So just kind of to parlay back to the beginning of the show, I have no problem with Donald Trump investigating Jack Smith either, and you shouldn't either. But Jack Smith doesn't have a pardon. But you deserve a lot of thanks, too. Thanks, Jack Smith, in the chat. Check this out.

I've been thinking about this segment. I'm not kidding for the longest time. I just had to wait till the inauguration happened. Cause I was deathly afraid. I would jinx it.

Don't hate it. It's a great thing. There's a modern there's a theory out there of economics. It's so stupid. It's up there without my orcas saying the borders close.

The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
MMT. You can look it up. I'm not going to explain the whole thing because it's stupid. The idea behind modern monetary theory, which got in Biden and the Democrats head is it doesn't matter how much money the government spends because it can print more.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Now, if you're sitting there, you're like, but if it prints more, it's going to be more money chasing the same products and it's going to be inflation. Yes, but a bunch of PhD loser assholes tried to convince and coax the American people that printing money endlessly was the way to go. If it wasn't for these losers, then I'm honestly not sure we win the election the way we did.

We may have lost the Senate. Here's an article in The Hill. No friend of conservatives, by the way, The Hill. Read it. It's in the newsletter today. Bongino.com slash newsletter. Did modern monetary theory elect Donald Trump? They note it's a fringe school of economics. It basically says the government can issue limitless amounts of money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Folks, there were actually people with a PhD who thought you could just print money and nothing would happen. I mean, think about how stupid that is. If that were the case, correct? Why wouldn't you tell everyone in America to just go get an intaglio printer and forget working, just print your own money? It's a source of wealth. Money doesn't grow on trees.

I know there are a lot of swampy Republicans who feel like when we win, we should show some courtesy or whatever to outgoing presidents on the Democrat side. But when they win, it's OK when they weaponize government and they throw you in the freaking clink. I'm not for that, folks. There is a way to stop this bullshit from happening. And the way to stop it from happening is very simple.
The Dan Bongino Show

It grows in the United States federal government when you listen to assholes who discuss modern monetary theory. Thank you, modern monetary theorists. And I would say again, up there with Barack Obama. our last one, but I'm not gonna, I'm not sure how much credit she deserves. We can't, and you know, we can't do a segment without, of course, thanking the great, the legend.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Thank her right now in the chat. This will be the last thank you, but I want this chat on the record forever. I want you all on the record thanking Kamala Harris, as we see in the Telegraph, from running potentially the worst presidential campaign in modern American history. Again, this is the Telegraph, no friend to conservatives.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Kamala Harris ran the worst presidential campaign in modern American history. Whether it was her failure to answer a question, whether it was her stupid idea to not go on Joe Rogan. Hey guys, do we do a lot of podcasts? Do we do a lot of interviews? But not a lot, correct? What do we do? Gee, you've been here the longest. Which ones do we do? We'll do Megan. We'll do Ben Shapiro.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Once in a blue moon. We don't do a lot of podcasts. It's just because I have a kid at home. We don't have a lot of time. And my family comes first. What do you guys, if Joe Rogan had asked us to come on, do we go on the show? Hell yeah, we go on the show. He's only the biggest podcaster in the cosmos. Kamala Harris's team was like, do we go on Joe Rogan's show? Eh, I'm not so sure.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
There were a thousand stupid things they did, but thank you for surrounding yourself with some morons and running the worst presidential campaign. I did not ask for this, but she's a great dancer. Look at the cringy look in her face when she realizes she looks like an idiot. You know when they laugh at themselves? Look at her. Here she is. He loves this clip, by the way. He plays it all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I still don't understand your obsession with this ridiculous clip. That was her announcement of her presidential campaign. The first time when she got how many votes for president? That's right. Zero. A big goose egg. Thank you, Kamala Harris. All right, I got a couple other things I want to talk about. Please don't go anywhere. It's important stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Did you guys, folks in the chat, did you guys like that segment or was it stupid? Because the show is for you. If a segment is dumb, I'll never repeat it again. I swear, like the show is for you guys. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I've been wanting to do that for a long time. Did you like it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
If you didn't like it, let me know. Lady Hawk, absolutely, 100%. Okay, thank you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Okay, back to serious news, because we still got some time with you here. And I will be doing the radio show today. My daughter's okay, so don't sweat that. Folks, Donald Trump is not screwing around with the Russians. There is a theory of international geopolitics out there. It's called the crazy man theory, the madman theory. You can look it up. I've described it before.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
It very simply states that when international leaders with a lot at stake, i.e. like nuclear war, when they can't predict the actions of the other side, that they'll generally withhold crossing red lines. I'll give you an example to kind of make it real. One of the reasons for as tyrannical and disgusting and evil as Kim Jong-un is, and Kim Jong-il and their predecessor, Kim Il-sung, all of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I'm sure you guys believe me and all. But there's like two minutes. The show wraps at like 11.58 or so. And the show starts at noon. I mean, there's some commercials, but you better be up here by like 12.01, 12.02, you know? And my daughter, my youngest daughter, Amelia, who's 13 now, a teenager, I guess as my mother-in-law would say, I cannot believe it. She got really sick.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
One of the reasons, despite this tiny, impoverished country, people don't just invade North Korea is because Kim Jong-il is so freaking crazy that they're legit afraid he's going to launch a nuclear weapon. It's called the madman theory of politics. It's not meant to be an insult. Well, with Kim Jong-il, I don't care if you insult me, he's a scumbag. But folks, people cannot predict Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
When they actually break the law, like I believe Joe Biden might have, members of his family were engaged in legal proceedings about it, notably Hunter before the pardons, then I believe there should be a full-blown investigation. Well, Mercy, what are you, stupid? This guy, there were legal proceedings going on showing Biden being implicated in a major international corruption scheme. I'm sorry.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
So he sends this out on True Social last night about Russia. He's like, hey, bro, listen, Vladimir, you better get this ridiculous war over. All caps. It's only going to get worse if we don't make a deal soon. I have no choice but to put together tariffs, sanctions and taxes on anything being sold in Russia in the United States. Ladies and gentlemen, he is not kidding. I promise you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
And Vladimir Putin. If you think this guy is predictable and you think he won't make your life painful, you are out of your mind. I'm not here to give the Russians freaking advice. I share nothing in common with them. But I am here to protect the United States. And if you want this shit to end and you guys don't want to be thrown out of office, Putin, I suggest you listen to him.

Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
On a lighter note. Folks, Democrats like AOC and others are obviously not that bright. I mean, why would you be a Democrat or a liberal in the first place? But one of the things you expect from liberals, wouldn't you say, guys, is at least the ability to spell basic words. Does anybody know how to spell the word eagle? Anyone? Anyone in the chat? It's a very complicated word.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
It's kind of like decussation of the pyramids or something like that. Like, it's a really difficult thing to kind of spell out, right? Some people screw up spelling Massachusetts. Here is the mayor of Philadelphia, very happy about the football team. Did you guys see this? This is not AI. She's the mayor of Philadelphia.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Listen to her get the Eagles chant going and listen to her precise spelling of Eagle, or in her case, E-L-G-S-E-S, Eagles. Let's go, birds. Oh, dude. All right, guys in the chat, folks in the chat, he's saying this is an early candidate for, you know, the end of the year. We put together our top 10, top 15 of the year. You guys think that should be considered?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
If you do, we'll segregate it into our end of the year potential candidates. Tell me in the chat. Yes, you do. No, you don't. Because I agree. This is the Democrats. How do you F up Eagle? E-L-G. Why? Why? Wait, hold on a second. Wait, you want two in one show? Now he's getting out of control. You do. This is another one. Okay, so a lot of you are saying yes. Okay, well, consider it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I would never, ever, ever ask you for two in the same show. But Guy is correct. You can't time these things. They're random. Tim Burchett, who is one of the best congressmen out there because of his outcomes. I love this guy. He's a congressman in Tennessee. He's on CNN with career bullshitter Jim Acosta, who's back to being the loser he was in the first term. And Acosta goes after Burchett.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
But Burchett gets the last word. And this is just priceless. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
The verdict is in. Jim Acosta just got his ass handed to him. Is this a Maze More clip too? This is the next one. This is another Mays Moore clip. In case you forget, here is Jim Acosta. You want to talk about a guy, I mean, like the monarch of hoaxes. Here he is repeating every single Donald Trump hoax during the first term. And he has never apologized, as far as I know, for any of this.

The only way to stop weaponized government is to show them what happens when government's turned on them. The difference is we didn't commit any crimes and they did. Listen very closely to Trump's words here. Listen, I'm all for this. I don't care what any of these swampies tell you. If he's ready to go after Biden, I'm all in. Check this out.

And CNN's doing great because of people like Acosta. Wait, Michael says there's a business update on CNN? CNBC. CNN to lay off hundreds of employees as post-inauguration transformation begins, sources says. It's on Fox News. By the way, thank you to my friend Reed Harris from the UFC. He's watching the show live. He says he sent me a picture of a karate man on my phone.

Sometimes I throw in the leg when I'm really in a mood. For those of you who don't know, the various iterations of the Karate Man. I go side kick too.

Thank you for taking care of us at the UFC. And thank you for the awesome Venom clothes, by the way. He sent me a whole boatload of Venom clothes. So Venom makes some cool stuff. He gave me this white hoodie. He's like, will you just stay on topic? I can't, folks. It's just serious. I have like a serious clinical like ADHD. Jasmine's like, this was too much.

Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Because they should have to go through it. Folks, how else do you think the Democrats are going to what? Let me ask a simple question. Because a couple of people from the media reached out yesterday. The guy was nice, so I'm going to leave his name. He wasn't like a really bad guy. But from a left-leaning outlet, I'm considering talking to him. But it wasn't mean or anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
But I know you're watching my show. So to the left-leaning media people out here, what lesson do you think Joe Biden and the Biden crime family take from this? The sun was knee-deep in, without question, what appears to be an international influence peddling scheme. If you think otherwise, you're too stupid to talk to, and I really can't help you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
The influence peddling scam campaign was designed to sell access to Joe Biden, who was a senator, the vice president and the president. That's clear as day. We leave office. Donald Trump gets charged with a fake fraud case with no actual victims. You got a lady up there lobbing charges at him who goes on CNN with one of the wackiest interviews I've ever heard.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
You've got Judge Engel run people out of New York trying to take all his property. And what? We're supposed to ignore all this? What lesson does the left take out of it? The lesson the left takes out of this is simple. There are no consequences for us. We can do whatever we want. And you idiots, we're in charge. We're going to hit you guys and you'll do nothing in return.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Folks, I'm not about wasting time. We got two years to fix this thing. But I'm glad Donald Trump is actually talking about this. Cutesy time is over. And this is what cutesy time is over looks like. I wanted to make sure we got past Inauguration Day before I did this thank you show because, honestly, I was afraid something crazy was going to happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
We had all these problems with the Secret Service. I think we defeated them so soundly the resistance kind of had the wind pulled out of their sails, but it's real. So I have a list of people to thank for Trump 2.0 coming up, but I want to get to this first because some things are going on right now in the media that if you're not following this show, you're missing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Folks, my Rock'em Sock'em robots, I would show you the... Folks, I broke it yesterday because, well, you didn't actually, they actually still work. You can stick them in there, but I was like, and I, holy shit. Yeah, that was the, someone gave me a guitar, but I broke the, that's the guitar over there. Someone sent me a damn bunch. You know, it's actually pretty cool.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
It's green though, which is a little weird. The Rock'em Sock'em Robots theory is working. They don't know what to do. They're trying to focus on this mass deportation operation because they love illegals and they're trying to show every single illegal immigrant that gets deported, oh my gosh, look, they're crying.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
And they can't because then they got to move on to Pete Hegseth and then they got to move on to Tulsi Gabbard and then they got to move on to the war against DEI, which is really D-I-E. They don't know what it's a rock them sock them robots. It's not the Trump dance, but it looks like it, it is working, but the media is trying to refocus now. And I want you to be cautious. Get ready.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
So I'm sure folks in the chat, you guys get it. Maddox said, Dan, the man, thank you. I hope you all understand my family comes first. We got a good podcast in, but I got to go take care of my daughter. She's better now. Just a lot of people came home from the inauguration with the inauguration funk. Everybody got sick. Michael, did you hear Evita this morning?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
This is an important part of the show. There are two things they really care about. And you're, you'll see them if they have to sideline Hegseth, Tulsi tax cuts, because they have to preserve the open border and they have to preserve their allegiance to DEI. Okay. So, It involves two things, electoral advantage with demographic destiny, bringing people into the country illegally.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
They've set it off. They can't have that stop. They'll never win an election again. You got it? And second, the reason they can't let DEI go is, folks, a merit-based society. runs counter to everything communists and collectivists believe in. They can't have merit because it would be an entrepreneurial free market capitalist system where people who work hard succeed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
That's not what communists believe. Am I wasting any time? From each accord of their abilities to each accord of their needs. They don't care about your merit. So they can't give this up. They have to detach you from any objective truth. There's no men, there's no women, there's no merit, there's no nothing the government's going to tell you. So this happened yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
First, on the immigration front. If they don't have a legal immigration, they have no chance of winning any additional elections in the future nationally, and they know it. Here's Dana Bash. This segment is a little long. It's about 1.30. I try to clip him at a minute. But it's critical you listen to the whole thing. It's Tom Homan. Dana Bash from CNN.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
pretends to be genuinely stunned that when they do these immigration raids, if they find you here illegally, that you'll be deported. Is this woman dopey or is she just pretending to be dopey? Here's Holman like, yeah, we're going after the bad guys, but if you're there illegally too, you're going too. And she's like, huh?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I want you to watch your face because they are so offended we're interrupting their demographic destiny timeline. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Why does she need that explained to her twice? Is she unaware that we have an immigration process that if you violate it, you've actually broken the law? The answer is, folks, she's not stupid. I wish I could tell you that it's easy. Oh, she's dumb. She's not dumb. She knows that she's pretending to be dumb because this is part of the Democrats long term demographic destiny plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
They are losing people from blue states. They are moving to red states. It's creating a real conundrum for them. Because the House of Representatives is based on state population. As red state populations in Florida and Texas explode, it gives Florida and Texas massive power in the House of Representatives.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I don't know if you know this, but Michael, can I share the spot trick you did? They had, I'm okay. My it's okay. Michael and Evita are like married. So I'm hoping Michael had to run a spot because Evita was coughing so much. Like let's go to a commercial. So everybody came home with a little bit of a funk.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
The Democrats may never win the House again if the population continues to move to red states. The Electoral College is also based, that votes for the president, is also based on population. The number of electoral college votes you get is the House of Representatives members you have plus two. You see what happens here?
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Two out of the three branches of government are almost entirely determined by illegal immigration if they can't backfill the population of blue states. Folks, it's not a conspiracy theory, man. They talk about it all the time. If you doubt me, pause the show and go look up demographic destiny. You can watch the video we played a thousand times of Democrats talking about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Here's Holman again, who's, by the way, an amazing guy. I've known Tom Holman a long time. We're going to try to get him on the radio show. Jim, if we could see if he's available sometime in the coming weeks. Here's Holman hitting hard and hitting fast. Donald Trump's been in office less than a few days. They already got 308 hardcore criminals out of the country now. Why is this important? Well...
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
Obviously, Dan, it's important because they're hardcore criminals. Yeah, but that's not it. Folks, if you ever study criminology and if you're in the chat, feel free to chime in right now. If you know this, if you studied criminal behavior, sociology, the overwhelming majority of serious crimes are committed by an increasingly small number of lunatics. maybe 1% of the population.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I mean, how many serial murderers do you know? The answer is zero. And there's a good reason for it. You get the crazy people out of the country, you're going to see the crime rate drop dramatically. Here's Holman hitting hard, hitting fast. They're getting the bad guys out of the country quick. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I need you to do me a favor, ladies and gentlemen, because unlike some radio hosts, not the good ones, the LeVins and the... the excellent radio hosts out there. Those guys are amazing. I'm asking you to double check my work because it only adds to the relationship you and I have. It makes me more credible.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
And it makes you kind of want to tune in because you know the information is good and is accurate. Look up what I just told you. The overwhelming majority of serious crime, I'm not talking about petty thefts, not that that's not serious, but I'm talking about serious crimes, rapes, felony assaults, home invasions, are committed by an extremely small number of people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
I think my daughter wouldn't even there probably caught it when I grabbed her and hugged her on the way back. I feel good. Big show today. Listen, I got to share something with you. When Donald Trump won in 2016, my podcast was not nearly as big as it is now. And I wrote this article I used to write for Conservative Review. And I wrote this piece.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
That's why broken windows policing works. You get 10 or 15 bad guys off the street. Those 10 or 15 bad guys were probably going to go on and commit 20 or 30 violent crimes before they got caught. You do the math. This stuff matters. And Homan's taking no shit. Another thing I told you about, I want you to focus on these two things because they are distracted. Rock'em Sock'em Robots is working.
The Dan Bongino Show
Freedom Is Winning, And The Libs Are Pulling Their Hair Out (Ep. 2407)
But they're going to need more. They're going to have to hit them with more because if there's two things the Democrats and the media apparatus cannot run away from, they cannot forfeit DEI because of the culture war on objective values. And they cannot forfeit illegal immigration or they'll never win again. They will try their damnedest to make this the focus.

I appreciate that you believe me and trust me on the show. We have a pretty solid record of displaying and transmitting facts and data and receipts. But that doesn't mean you get a pass on the next year. You got to back up what you say. To the Republicans in Congress who may have this undercurrent of distrust about Trump's political instincts.

The military's funded with high-quality weapons and cleaned out of all the waste. The tax cut goes through. No tax on tips. No tax on Social Security. This is all in one big bill. Regulatory reforms, all of it in one big bill. Donald Trump goes around the country. All over the place. Go to L.A. too. Does like five or six big national stops in huge media markets.

Folks, this thing will pass with every Republican. You want to be on the wrong side of it? That's how you rock and roll. How do I know you've got a limited opportunity to do this? Data matters.

Folks, 22% of voters approve of the way the Democrats, the Democrats in Congress are handling their job. They note that's an all-time low. Republicans have at least a 40, almost double. You've got a window to move now. You've got this huge 20, almost 20 point percentage point buffer in approval. Donald Trump is at peak popularity. The Democrats are in disarray. They have no leader.

They have no mission. They have no message. They have no nothing. They have zero. One big bill. Do it. Do it quick. Do it surgical. Do your rallies. Get the public behind it. In six weeks, we could be looking at a changed America with signed legislation and Donald Trump at 55% approval and Republican Congress members at 40, 45, maybe even 50. Do it. Do it now.

The updates from last night, he calls this the Trump truce updates because if you're not paying attention like these guys, did Donald Trump's truth account, you're missing out on all the goodies. Donald Trump is now firing all of the, quote, Biden-era U.S. attorneys. We must clean house immediately and restore confidence. America's golden age has to have a fair justice system. That begins today.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Ladies and gentlemen, again, the left, how many times we got to talk about it? We've used this title of the show, what, 50 times? Because it's so appropriate almost every single day. The hair's on fire, the wetting of the diapers. It's really embarrassing. Folks, what we call AUSAs and USAs, U.S. attorneys. I don't know if USAs are the United States of America. No, it's U.S.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
attorneys in the law enforcement field. And AUSAs, assistant United States attorneys. They serve at the pleasure of the president. These are not civil service type employees. These are not administrators. These are political appointees. Donald Trump has every right to let them go. Joe Biden did the same thing. It's not an argument. Let the media melt down. They're embarrassing themselves.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
It doesn't matter. The only reason I'm discussing this story, because if it's not a big deal, and they do this all the time, why are you talking about it? Because there's a bigger story here. It's about AUSAs, but it's about the new Republican Party. And it's this. If you're bored right here, Go put in a search engine, George Bush, United States attorney scandal. Scandal, with air quotes, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
George W. Bush fired some U.S. attorneys too. And do you remember? It was like this really big, quote, scandal. This goes to show you, you are the media now. It was a fake scandal. George W. Bush, whether you love him or hate him, had every right to fire U.S. attorneys. Happens all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
But because the media declared it a scandal, it actually became a scandal because they can make up fake news and that was the only thing you had back then was fake news. Now, a story like this, do you notice the media, that the response to this has been almost null and void because of the rock-em-sock-em robot strategies? That's why I disagree with Rove's piece.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
This is why you just keep hitting them. You're not even going to hear about this. It'll be a non-story the minute cash is approved today. This was a huge, I'm going to say two-week story when George W. Bush was president, maybe more. They're just not the media. The media is not the driver of the national narrative anymore, folks. They're just not. You're the media now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
You know why this story is important? Because it's not. Does that make sense? This story is important because it's not important. It happens all the time. And in the past, it would have been a scandal. All right, moving on. The W's are just piling in. I told you in the beginning of the show with the can't stop winning thing. That Karl Rove, he has a piece in the journal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Hydroxychloroquine, emergency antibiotics, other essential medications. Folks, I get a ton of email about this company. So make sure you write this URL down. Allfamilypharmacy.com slash Bongino. Really important. Let's be real. Last several years shows exactly why you can't rely on insurance companies to have your back. You have to be prepared for whatever comes next.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
We discussed it earlier, but there's this two competing ideas now in D.C. The winning is actually coming so fast. People are starting to wonder like Karl Rove, kind of old school Republicans. I get it, but I'm just giving you multiple perspectives. This is why we're better than them. Like we see their side, but they don't see ours.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
They just see us as a bunch of crazies, even though we keep winning. It's not a crazy theory when you think about it, that maybe we should slow down the wins and maybe do a national tour about success at the border. Personally, I don't agree with that. I think we can walk and chew gum at the same time to use the stupid cliche I hate, but whatever, you all get the point. It's a win-win.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
It's a win-win. This is like cliche time now, right? I like rock them, sock them, right? And I think it's working because of the AUSA story, which is a non-story. But I want to give you the actual numbers because they're so ridiculously good that they're almost hard to believe that it does make you think maybe we should take a breath even for a weekend and do like a border tour.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Here is Paul Perez. What is it? The CBP rep. He's on a cable news channel here talking about the border numbers. It's almost hard to believe how quickly Donald Trump shut the borders. Amazing. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Folks, they're ridiculous. I saw some number yesterday. 260 encounters at the border. There were thousands, tens of thousands. It's insane. It's almost like illegal immigration has effectively stopped. Which I know you in the chat are like, hey, Dan, get your head out of your ass. Of course it stopped. I don't need to. You're right. I understand what you're saying. I know what you're thinking.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
That once you get a president in there who says, hey, newsflash, borders closed. You come here, you're getting deported, arrested. That's it. And we'll fly you right back out of here. So you're wasting your time. Shocker. Air quotes, right? Nobody shows up. This isn't hard. This isn't hard. But you got to mean it. That's the thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Because, again, Bongino Army, you may say, well, Dan, Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden's DHS secretary, said the border was closed too. Yeah, but everybody knew he didn't mean it. They just showed up at the border and it wasn't closed. It's like telling everyone in the HOA in your neighborhood, hey, man, my doors are locked, and then you leave your doors unlocked.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
The doors still got to be locked or else people are eventually going to break into your house. Another big W yesterday. As we constantly rack up the wins, he calls them the dubs. The dubs are piling up. Is there a camera network? Oh, yeah. We have two cameras in here. You ever see the side shot? We can't even show you the side shot anymore because everybody moved everything out of the studio.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Everything's like gone. It's like a ghost town other than a monitor. You're going to love the new studio, by the way. Here's another big W yesterday. Donald Trump and his team at the State Department under Marco Rubio has officially designated the following as foreign terror organizations. You can see Trend Aragua, MS-13, Sinaloa cartel. Listen to the drug cartels.

There's a new sheriff in town, man. He may not be officially titled the sheriff, but I think you get the point. When Donald Trump declares you an FTO, a foreign terror organization, there's a real consequence to that. Your assets, money, all this stuff that you're hiding in banks and anyone who may be supporting you can be subject to almost like RICO-style investigations.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
So this is not some just... PR thing. Oh, look, let's call them terror organizations to make it look like we're serious folks. There's a real penalty to this. This is Donald Trump saying, you're not going to poison our kids anymore. Not on my watch. There's going to be a real penalty and it may involve death.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
I'm just telling him once the military gets involved and the drones, they're not going to be an easy fight. You know, I saw, um, my good friend, Jesse Kelly on Twitter, uh, very patriotic history of military service himself, so he knows. Jesse's got his own radio show. But Jesse Rowland, listen, this is not going to be an easy fight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
This isn't going to be, these cartels are very, very well armed and trained very well. This isn't some, you know, this isn't like Sicario or whatever. This is going to be a real, real big deal. It's not a movie. If you've seen a movie, you know what I'm talking about, right? But it's a step. It's a step. And Donald Trump is sending a message just like he did at the border.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
We're not screwing around. I've got more W's. The Trump tariffs. And I want you to listen in this soundbite coming up next. I'll take a quick break here. But I want you to listen in the soundbite because, again, all the economists attacking Donald Trump on tariffs. I've said before, I don't like tariffs. I haven't changed my mind on tariffs. I do like tariffs as a negotiating tool.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
And that's why you got to listen. Listen to what he say. Last break and we got a ton more content. I'm not even, you guys are right. It's going to be so much leftover. It's ridiculous. Hey, I feel like everything's gotten more expensive these days, but not top of the line hearing aids from MD Hearing. MD Hearing recently cut their price in half.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
I just gave a pair of these, by the way, this woman friend of ours who helps us out around the house. MD Hearing just made their Neo rechargeable digital hearing aids only $297 a pair. It's over 90% less than clinic hearing aids. The Neo fits inside your ear. So no one will even know it's there. Plus MD Hearing just launched the Neo XS. MD Hearing, smallest hearing aid ever.
The Dan Bongino Show

$297 for a pair of hearing aids this good is crazy. MD Hearing has sold over 2 million hearing aids. They're offering a 45 day risk-free trial with a 100% money back guarantee.

I want you to listen here while we're on the topic here, just to ground ourselves again, a big Trump W's and this winning theory there. I'm just going to put this in. I want to forget to talk about this later on radio. Do we slow the winning down and take a victory lap or do we keep the winning coming?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Keep it coming because they cannot focus on one specific thing and it's having a real material impact on them. I will say one thing, though, just and tell me if you agree in the chat. Here is the one condition. You know, we got Rockham Sockham, right? The one condition where I would say, take the Rockham Sockham, place him down and ask him to go to sleep for a minute.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
The one condition I would have is if we pass this big, bold, beautiful bill tax reform. regulatory reform, border reform, military cleanup. If we pass that, then I would take a week or so to do a victory lap. Do you agree? You may think I'm crazy. You may say, screw it, Dan, next day, hit him with another. Okay, okay. That's the one time. I think that's so big. Michael, you agree?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
That you take, maybe not a week. Maybe you sign on a Monday, and by Wednesday, you go rock him, sock him again. But you got to take a few days to celebrate that. That would be freaking huge. But one of the things in there is going to be economic reform. And they're knocking Trump, these economists, on tariffs. Folks, I agree. I love economics. Wow. Wow. No. Look at this. Wow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Let me just stop this. Nope. Who said it? Who said it? Let's give someone a chance. Here, always on McGroin. Always, that's one of our, always is like a rock star in the McGroins. Always says, keep it coming. I've never been overwhelmed with such negativity on a comment on my own channel. Okay, you guys win. Where are my Bongino Army shows for you? It's not for me. I don't know at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
You want to keep hitting them? So you're just so we're clear. You're suggesting sign the bill on a Monday at what we do a signing. What is it? What's a good media cycle? 3 p.m. 3 p.m. A lot of people, you know, wrapping up the day, but they're getting three by three Oh one. We're out there hitting them again. Okay. I'm dude, I'm game. You have to talk to me right back. Right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Just right back again. Okay. I'm cool with that. I just think that's such a big deal. That to just go and do a quick little victory tour for a couple of days and to just show people what we just did. Okay, moving on. One of the things is going to be economic reform. I want you to listen to Trump on tariffs. Yes, he believes in tariffs. I'm not a huge believer in tariffs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
We do have to get tax revenue from somewhere. The problem I see with tariffs is it's a $25 million income base we're dealing with, which I hate the income tax. I want to be clear. It's only three, did I say, excuse me, what is it, 25 trillion? And it's three on the other end. So there's not a lot of kind of feathers to pluck from the goose there, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
The coffee clutch lady and Saturday night live. Is that Mike Myers? You play that discuss. Okay. I think, I think Rove is wrong, but I don't think, I don't think his opinion there is crazy either. The border win, which we'll get to hopefully later in the show about how you guys. Okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
But tariffs are an unbelievable negotiating tool, an unbelievable negotiating tool. to use. Listen at the end. This is why Trump is so damn good at this. He makes you believe that this is going to happen, and it's got to be a credible threat. And then at the end, he says, listen, and we're talking about auto tariffs, but give them some time to move here. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Folks, you see why he's better at this than I am? He just is. I ran for office. I didn't win. He won. He won three times. I don't know what to tell you. He's really good at this. I know Donald Trump pretty well, but I wouldn't say we're like coffee buddies or anything. I don't want to exaggerate my relations. You know, I hate that. People are like, oh, Trump's my buddy. I hate that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Sounds so stupid, like name dropping like that. But I know him well enough, and I'm telling you looking right in the camera, I honestly don't know how serious he is about tariffs. I don't. There's a side of me that thinks he really believes it, and a side of me that's like, he's got to know what they do. But that's the gift in this. It's not the curse. Do you understand?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Because if you don't believe the tariff is a real threat, the tax on your, say you're Joe's Motor Company. and you're selling cars in Mexico and building them in Mexico, but importing, or excuse me, exporting some into the United States, the tariff 25%, if your car's $1,000, whatever, it's going to be expensive.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
It's going to be $1,250 if you don't compensate on the price side because it's 25% more. So the company knows it's going to lose market share. So they're incentivized to say, hey, screw it. We're just going to build in the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
That's the beauty of the whole thing, that when you use a tariff as a negotiating tool, he may move some of this production right back here to the United States, what would mean jobs, capital investment elsewhere. You get it, folks? Because it's a fair enough critique. To say, Dan, you can't have it both ways where tariffs are good things and bad things. I'm not. A tariff's a tax, period.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
However, we do have to get taxes from somewhere. And if we can use that as a vehicle to get production here, then I'll take it. I'll take it. And listen to him at the end. You got to listen to everything Donald Trump says. Here is the biggest W. If this story sucks, everybody in the chat, who said I get it? Red state deplorable. Good, I get it too. do you hate this story about New York?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
If you do, I won't cover it. I love this story. And I don't want to, I don't want to cover it just because I was from New York. I think this story is, if you are still confused about how Donald Trump rolls and how he constantly gets the left to like show their ass to the public, you will not be confused after this story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
OK, about the dramatic drop in illegal crossings is such a win that it's not the worst idea in the world to maybe take a victory lap over it. However, we have them caught so off guard now. Why give them the chance to even zone in on, say, the border and then fight us back where they can isolate their forces? I think the Rock'em Sock'em Robots is winning. I think we continue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
How he gets these people to do the dumbest things possible because they hate him is the most remarkable skill I've ever seen. Folks, they hated George W. Bush. They hated Mitt Romney. They hate every Republican. But I've never seen them act so tactically inept. Here's the story. Put this up at the New York Post. Donald Trump cancels basically the New York City congestion pricing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Big hat tip to Secretary Duffy at the Department of Transportation as well. They basically said, you can't do it. Sorry, they need approval for us, and we're not giving it to you. Congestion pricing is a very, very simple concept. If you were going to drive into a congested traffic area of Manhattan, New York City wants to charge you another, another toll.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
I want you to keep in mind, I am from New York. To get into Manhattan, most of the crossings are already told. Producer Jim just sent this to me. He looked it up. The Verrazano Bridge, which comes from Staten Island, is currently $11.19. You're already paying more than $11 to enter Manhattan. The Midtown Tunnel, all of this stuff, you're already paying. Manhattan wants to charge you more.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
And here's the thing. It's going to be about nine bucks, but when traffic gets bad, it's going to be even more. Oh, you do? You know what? Play Duffy, and then I'm going to tell you on the other side, get ready. This is an important segment. Why this story, which seems so regional and stupid, like, oh, who cares? It's not. It is probably the biggest face plant the Democrats have done yet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
No, you guys are wrong. This is a total side debate. She absolutely, Evita 100% has her dad's eyes. Put up a screen. Come on. They're arguing over here. Michaels obviously knows Evita well. They're like married and stuff. But Evita Duffy, of course, our morning show, well, Sean's her dad. You're telling me, look at Sean's eyes and look at her. Can you get a picture of Evita?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Look at the eyes. She's got the same eyes. Folks in the chat, please chime in. These guys are crazy. Heck yeah, we just said it. Patty84. It's the same. It's the same eyes. Yes, she looks like her mom, but she definitely got her dad's eyes. But getting back, I didn't even, thank you for playing that clip. Shame on me. Shame, shame, Game of Thrones style. Start throwing rotten tomatoes at me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
But just here is just the last basically 48 hours, folks. Just a quick list. And I got a big show here. The right track poll is the country on the right track, which is a really important poll, is trending in an extremely positive direction.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
I didn't even think of that angle. The New York City residents already paid for the damn road. It's not a private road. It was funded by their tax. They already own it. So think about this. Donald Trump comes in, congestion tax canceled by everybody. Let me read you a text from my brother, who, by the way, wasn't a big Republican in the past, but it's a huge Trump supporter now. Hold on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
I got to, okay. I got to show you, I got to play. This is him yesterday. Yesterday, yesterday. Oh, New York just, yesterday. Yeah, New York just came out on me because I was talking about my brother. Dude, Trump's post on, this is an exact one, on truth about canceling congesting pricing is epic, five exclamation points. It's driving Hochul nuts. Neighbors love this. Long live the king.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
F-ing awesome, all caps. That's my brother up in New York, you local three electrician. The union guy, they're all in a, they love Trump for this. So Trump gets an epic political win, number one. Number two, this was a tax that was going to hammer the middle class. Ladies and gentlemen, rich people love taxes like this. They do? Yes, they do. You know why?

What's the most valuable thing rich people have? Folks in the chat, what is it? What's the most valuable thing rich people have? Anyone know? Someone's got to get this. Yes. Stevia girl. Time. Time. You think a rich guy worth 500 milli gives a shit about a $9 tax? He doesn't care. He's like, wait, so it's going to keep a bunch of people off the roads? Great.

The irony of this thing is it screws the middle class. And the third win out of it, not that the win here is that the messaging thing that Democrats are backwards. The third win is the crazy New York governor is going to sue him in court for the right to tax the shit out of middle class people. This is insane.

Folks, this is the greatest story to highlight the collapse of the Democrat Party we've ever seen. You want another one? You know, I love this guy, Peter St. Onge. He does great videos on economics. You should check him out on X. It's Peter, common spelling, S-T-O-N-G-E. Very, very good account. He does really hard hitting videos. Very good on the economic stuff.

The DHS under Kristi Noem, I'm hearing they're going to start implementing a polygraph program to get these leakers out there who are telling dangerous gang members that there are immigration raids coming. They're inexcusable. Trump has designated the cartels, foreign terrorist organizations, gives him a tremendous amount of leeway on the financial asset seizure side.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
He did a video the other day about another example. of how the Democrat Party, just like this New York congestion pricing story, is so frayed. This is why I disagree with the Karl Rove approach of slowing down. It's working, rock'em, sock'em robots. It's just working. Don't slow down. Full speed ahead. This is what happened the other day.

Donald Trump, along with a lot of Americans, I would argue a majority... At minimum, a plurality of Americans are getting very frustrated with the Ukrainian war. Nobody saying Ukraine deserves this. We're not knocking the Ukrainian people at all. Don't read this the wrong way. However, Zelensky has really, he's completely let you down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
The messaging attacking Donald Trump after all the United States has done to support the mission over there was really a stupid move. The Democrats, because Trump is now starting to question, hey, man, Zelensky, you want to end this thing or not? He's got the Democrats messaging now that they're the war party. Which is crazy because, Michael, you're like a more libertarian guy like me, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
We've been questioning this for years. Like, why is the United States involved in basically every continent on Earth, losing our own people for other people's missions that they don't want to do themselves? You know how many people feel that way? You've got Democrats. Bernie Sanders, bro, is asking that question. Trump now has the Democrats. Now they're like the warmonger party. crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
In one day, one day, bro, he's got the Democrats suing in court to tax the shit out of the middle class. And he's got the Democrats advocating for like endless wars all over the world. Here's St. Onge on J.D. Vance's speech to EU and how J.D. Vance just set the world on fire with this in a good way. They need a little, everybody needs a shakeup. Check this out.

Peter goes for it. And maybe you needed to hear that. We're not going to be Uncle Sucker anymore. I'm sorry, but we're not going to do it. The U.S. taxpayer, and by the way, for those out there on the left saying, oh, what are we, cowards going to retreat from the world? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. WTF over us?

I'm a serious question here because there's an article last night in the wall street journal by Karl Rove. Hey, hear me out. Just hear me out. Okay. I know what you're thinking already. I get that. The article, basically, the gist of it is this, that the winning, and this is Rove, who's not even a big Trump guy. I think we all know that. Karl Rove is more of a bushy.

You mean the United States that rescued Europe from that thing called World War II? One. Oh, why is it called World War I and not just the World War? Anybody know? Any of you guys know? Michael is a math major. It's great because there's a second one. And we had a little role in that too, I think. My poor grandfather fought over there. Scarred him the rest of his life.

You have the shakeup in Ukraine where he's like, we're done with the status quo. We're going to fix it. That happened yesterday. Kelly Loeffler, confirmed SBA.

I lost an uncle, Gregory Ambrose, sitting on that wall, that Vietnam Memorial wall. Never met him in my life. He's my mother's older brother. So before you start lecturing us, we've been there. Who do you think kicked Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait? We're always there. And you know who gives out? What did we get? Did we get any money out of it? We got nothing. You know what we get?

We get body bags as we bust our ass to shuttle money. They say, you didn't deserve this war. Nobody's saying that. But you damn well better give us some exit plan here. Because there's war and conflict around the world and the United States can't solve all of it. And Donald Trump wants to know with the EU, hey man, when are you guys going to step the fuck up?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
You know, this NATO alliance we have is really the U.S. The German military is collapsing. Look it up. It's a fraction of what it should be. You've got the U.K. saying, hey, we'll send troops over, but we need a U.S. guarantee. The U.K. is out of the EU now. I mean, guys, sooner or later, you've got to show us over here that you're willing to fight for yourselves.

Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Now, I'm going to do you a favor here. It's important. Take a breath on this because I don't want to mess this up. Yesterday's show was very popular. We're still having a problem, I think, with the livestream counter, but the VO, the on-demand numbers have been fantastic for us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Yesterday's show was really popular because I explained to you what I think is going on in Donald Trump's head, why he has a general distrust of Zelensky. If you missed the opening of yesterday's podcast, you need to go back and watch it. Matter of fact, I don't even mind if you stop now, pick it up again later and watch that first.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Donald Trump does not trust Zelensky because of Zelensky and UK members of parliament and elsewhere who were knee deep in the collusion hoax. The Russia collusion hoax, That was used to target Trump was started in Ukraine. Period. It was. And it filtered its way into Hillary Clinton. OK, it started in Ukraine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
The impeachment hoax started with a call to Zelensky in Ukraine, which he didn't help us with. He could have cleared it up right away and he didn't. Like it or not, that's one of the reasons Donald Trump doesn't trust this guy. Because he's been untrustworthy on issues. He still hasn't cleaned up the impeachment thing and told people, hey, this Hunter Biden stuff was real.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Trump was right to call me about it. That's all he has to say. He still hasn't fully cleared it up. Dan, why are you repeating yesterday's show? Because I'm trying to set the groundwork because why Donald Trump doesn't trust the EU either. Do you remember this article? I want you to look at the date. I put it on my show probably a hundred times. You should bookmark this article. April 14th, 2017.

So right after Donald Trump, a few months after he swore into office for his first term. CNN politics. British intelligence passed Trump associates communications with Russians onto U.S. counterparts. Leave that up for a minute, please, guys. Pregnant pause for a reason. Folks, my first book, Spygate, on this spying collusion hoax, this article appears in the book multiple times.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Why would CNN write an article about the illicit, immoral, and potentially illegal passing of what was fake intelligence, a Russian collusion hoax, onto their U.S. counterparts? Who then used it to what I think potentially commit crimes and create this fake story. Why would CNN admit that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Donald Trump got, here's another one I'm going to talk about later in the show. New York wants a congestion tax, a commuter tax on its middle class citizens, which will bankrupt them, right? Donald Trump got this crazy Democrat governor in New York, Kathy Hochul, to actually sue him in court for the right to tax people for driving after they already paid a toll, most of them, to get into New York.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
That the intelligence communities were basically working against Donald Trump and some of them involved the UK and EU countries. Why would they admit it? Because back then, ladies and gentlemen, CNN thought it was real. they really believed Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
It's an insane story, but because they were so crazy, Shudo and Pamela Brown and Bradner who wrote this piece, they really believed their sources on this. So they wrote the article like, oh my gosh, this is so serious that the British intelligence services have information. Folks, all this stuff was garbage. It was poppycock. It was crap. It wasn't info. It was like a phone call.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
It was like alpha bank garbage. Now do you see why Donald Trump doesn't trust fully people across the pond and elsewhere about security matters and NATO? Because in his head, he knows a lot of these same people who are not funding NATO attacked him in the past. I'm not telling you it's going to get in the way of him doing whatever turns out to be the right thing in the end.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
I'm just trying to explain to you a little internal Trump psychology, given my best guess on why he doesn't trust Zelenskyy Some in the UK, although he's been talking pretty nicely about Starmer, which I'm not a huge Starmer fan, but I get what he's got to do, and people in the EU. You're not going to hear this anywhere else. Bookmark that article.

It's one of the most important articles you're ever going to read. This is the start of this whole Russia collusion thing and how the media bought in on it. All right, let me move on to one more.

We got the life hack segment again this weekend on my podcast, rumble.com slash bunch, you know, but did you guys say, I want to leave you in a good, did you see this on CNN?

No problem. The commuter tax thing in New York is probably the best story of all. I know it doesn't sound there. What do I care about? It is so Donald Trump, how he managed to get the left to show their ass on everything. I've never, the guy is, he may be the greatest troll of all time. There's nothing like him. But I do have a lot to get to, including a big announcement.

Folks, because you guys have been the Bongino Army out there, you guys and ladies out there have been so amazing to me. I didn't want to leave you without content. So my goal has always been, when I say leave you without content, I mean, I'm on from 11 to 12 and then I have my radio show. But I know, and I have a lot of friends, I'm not an anti-cable news guy. I watch cable news.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
And there's going to be a role for cable news in the future. There is. It's not going anywhere. I may have a smaller audience, but cable news is still important. I've got millions of viewers. But let's be honest. The digital space is the future. It just is. Your TV in the future is going to be a dumb box. You're just going to download an app and watch whatever you want right there on the dumb box.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
But he acknowledges in the piece that there's never been a month-long set of winning cycles like this, like President Trump. He doesn't in any way attack him in the piece. But he goes on to suggest that you should slow down some of the winning, hear me out, because some of the wins are so big that maybe you should do like a week-long victory lap. In other words, he brings up the border.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
That's the future. Cable's even doing it. There's an Xfinity app now. That's how most people are getting cabled. My goal at this Bongino, with the Dan Bongino kind of publishing and production empire has always been to give you a competitor to cable news. We launched Evita's show, the early edition with Evita. It has been a huge success. I hope you're following the channel. What is it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Rumble.com slash Evita, which is easy enough. Rumble.com slash Evita. Right there on the screen. Evita's show is one of the number one launches for a podcast. So because it was such a success, I have been scouting around for talent. And there is someone I've known a really, really long time. She is amazing. I've known Evita through her family.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
It was obviously a great pick because she has taken the show and just done spectacular things with it. Haley Karania has been a good friend of mine for a long time. If you don't know her, you will. She is an amazing talent. We adore her. It's a different kind of show, but that's okay. We like that. Haley has been amazing. She has gone viral many times on TikTok and elsewhere.

We love it if you do, but you don't have Rumble is free, but there are ads they pay, you know, Rumble's an expensive enterprise. So we have to repay for it. All right, let's get to the show folks. I am a big proponent of the Donald Trump plan. There's two particular plans going on because executive orders are great, right? We can all agree Donald Trump has done a lot by executive order.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
But for those in the chat, who's going to get the first one? What's the problem with executive orders? Anyone in the chat know? There's a pretty significant problem with a lot of upside. The upside is the speed, right? Donald Trump goes like this, signs it, Donald J. Trump, the executive order's implemented, pending lawsuits, which we get. There's going to be lawsuits about everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
We understand that. But what's the problem with executive orders? Anyone know? Yes. Got your six in Roman numerals says, yes, the next election, the next executive could be a Democrat and just overturn them. Thank you. Got your six. I got your six too. You need legislation. Legislation makes the concrete dry. Donald Trump knows this. So does the Congress and the Senate. We need legislation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Donald Trump cannot cut taxes by himself. He can't. He can move things around within the executive branch, hire and fire. The unitary executive is real. He cannot implement legislation himself. There are two, if this is boring, tell me in the chat, shut your freaking pie hole. Thank you, Anita. We love you. You're the best. You're the queen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
If it's boring, say shut your freaking pie hole because I'm fascinated by this. The United States Senate, Not all of them, but many senators want a two-bill approach. Border and defense first, which they think will be an easy win. Tax cuts, economy second. The House side, Speaker Johnson's side, which I agree with wholeheartedly, is BS. Put it all in one bill. Donald Trump came out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
He's spoken about this on my show. He's kind of said a few times, I don't care either way. Now he's basically all in. He knocks the Lindsey Graham version of the bill, and he says the House resolution, the one-bill approach, implements the full America First agenda. Everything, not parts of it. He wants, quote, all caps, one big, beautiful bill that will, without question, make America great again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)

Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
Let me explain to you briefly why. One bill is the answer. I know a lot of people up on the Hill are like, what the hell does this guy know? Listen, I've been doing this a long time, okay? I'm not stupid. I did. Nobody's read the MAGA crowd better than us. The biggest MAGA show out there. People are ready to back you for big, bold change.

This hundred days, first hundred days, first month of Donald Trump and subsequent hundred days are proving it. People are ready for big things. They don't want small bites at the apple pie. Okay. They want to take the whole big thing. They're not looking for piecemeal stuff. Number one, number two, The smaller you make the bill, everybody follow me in the chat here, this is important.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Keeps Delivering And The Libs Are Seething (Ep. 2427)
The smaller you make the bill, the more material you give people within the small bill to object to. If you do a big bill, the things they would have objected to in the smaller bill get scooped up in the big bill and they have to pick and choose what to object to. Let me just, easier.

Folks, we are the media now. Don't forget it. There is a downside to this, though. I want to be realistic with you guys. We are the media now. That's good. That's a good thing, right? We all get it. We are the media now. We are. It's just that the data backs it up. Livestream numbers. When I say we, I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about this conservative ecosystem.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, others, right? There's a real problem that nobody trusts our government anymore. Well, Dan, government sucks. No, I get it, folks, but... I'm really fascinated by the Roman Empire, like, of course, most conservatives are, but I really am. I can't get enough of the history of how the Republic fell.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
When you watch what happened with Caesar when he was chasing Pompey and they left Rome abandoned. The place turned to chaos within days and weeks. People were starving to death. They couldn't get the grain out to the people. Folks, government is not an inherently evil thing if you understand Federalist 51, if men were angels, which we're not.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Limits on government are a good thing because men will abuse power. Whatever, you know, long story short, what I'm getting at is We do need some form of a functioning government that can do basic things like assure the public in a national emergency. Those aren't little green men coming to invade. Nobody trusts anyone anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
To the point where even when Mayorkas, our DHS secretary, says something even remotely sensible, even guys like me who've heard it from other people go, well, that can't be right. I'll show you what I mean in a second. Quick break. I'll show you how, again, nobody trusts government at all anymore. And folks, that's not a good thing. Believe me, it's not. That can only get bad really fast.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Folks, the Kylo Ren Moore theory of Donald Trump winning continues. In case you missed the news, it just broke recently, like in the last hour. Fonny Willis, you know Fonny Willis and lover boy Nathan Wade down there, has now been disqualified from the Trump case. Yeah. It's just the winning. The winning just continues. This keeps piling up. I'm a big believer in manifesting things.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)

The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I trust my sources, though. Some of you may not like me for this segment, but that's okay. I read the truth. I have a separate bunch of sources who are good and decent people. They've never steered me wrong. Our batting average is 1,000. You can go back and watch the shows. We've been right on every conspiracy theory out there. I'm telling you that this China threat is very real.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The threat of our own government spying on you is as bad, if not worse, and that's real too. But there are other people out there who are trying to tell you like every single thing that comes out is some PSYOP or whatever. Let me play this clip by Mayorkas, who I don't trust as far as I can throw. But I've heard this from other people.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
And you shouldn't dismiss this out of hand, that China is knee-deep embedded in our technology, our home routers, our critical infrastructure, that China is working on the ability to destroy us from the inside out. Take this with a grain of salt because it comes from Mayorkas, but I've heard this from other people too. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Again, it's Mayorkas. Anything he says, I want to instantly flush down the toilet. But do you see why I opened the segment the way I did? It's a freaking shame that we trust the government so little that even though I've heard that nearly verbatim exact same thing from conservatives I trust, because Mayorkas said it, even I'm like, now is it bullshit? Folks, it's a real threat.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Yes, our government spying on us is a real profound threat too. Zero doubt. Get it, got it, good. But don't be distracted about this China threat. They have been working on this for a long time. And look this up today when you get off the show. Do you have any idea how many home routers, internet routers that were made in China have built-in security flaws? Built-in security flaws.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Yeah, they're there for a reason. Just trust me on this. This is a very serious threat. Why am I bringing it up, too? Because I'm going to go Republican-Democrat, so you don't think I'm even making a partisan issue. He's a dope. He is a dope. The guy's a liar. He's corrupt. I can't stand him. But this Mike McFaul is a pretty establishment, you know, rhino-y type Republican, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You may not trust this guy. That's fine. I'm just telling you I've heard this from other people too. And it's a shame we can't trust our freaking government anymore. There's a senior member of Congress on the Republican side. Here he is talking about the drones, telling you something I've heard from reliable sources. Not all of them. Not all of them. Not all of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
But many of these drones around our military installations are from China, spying on us and surveilling our domestic turf. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Justin, I'll go to you because, well, actually, you know what? I would go to Michael, but Michael may be biased because it was his recommendation. Folks, I absolutely adore and love our military more than anything. There's not even a close second. It's just everything they do for almost no money out of a sense of loyalty to their fellow man.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I just had a request from the chat. You guys don't have to tip. Someone put a $5 tip in there. Please keep your money. Donate it to charity or something. I appreciate it. Dan, will you do the bank? Do you feel like you're in charge? That's my favorite line from the Dark Knight series. They're not in charge. Nobody trusts these people anymore. But this is where it gets scary for me.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I have an obligation to get you accurate information. And the problem I had cutting this segment, which is one of the reasons I did it, because I knew it was going to cause me a bit of a headache, but it's one of the things I need to get across, is I know what Mayorkas and McCall just said,
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
But because they've been sources of shady information in the past, especially my orcas, I mean, magnitude times 10, I'm sitting here going, I can't believe nobody can believe what the DHS secretary is saying. That China thing is real, folks. I don't care what anybody tells you. It is real. I promise you. You don't think it's a little interesting? No.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Again, that Obama, his first movie project was this movie, Leave the World Behind, about how this mysterious internet attack basically wipes out the internet. Everybody turns on each other, is ready to die. There's no reason to panic. Donald Trump's going to be in office in January. And I promise you, the same people who've warned me about this stuff are in his ear too. We can clean it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
But there's been a decades-long effort by China to not only surveil us, but implant really destructive technology in the United States, and we don't know when that switch is going to go off. Now, we have two years to fix this, but it's a four-year term. It's not a four-year term. Please stop telling yourself that. Yes, constitutionally, Donald Trump will be in charge for four years.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
It is two two-year terms. Why? Because what happens after the president's first two years, when every member of Congress is up for reelection, every member and a third of the Senate is they don't care about Donald Trump and his priorities anymore. Why? He's going to be a lame duck. He can't run again. It's just a fact. I wish it weren't, but it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
And second, they're worried about reelection themselves. So what happens in the last two years, if you're unfamiliar with post midterm politics is, is you get people in swingy purple districts, Republicans, who want to get reelected and look like they're standing up against a man. You can't count on them for anything. The first two years, you can get a lot of stuff done.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You don't really have a lot of that in the first two years. You basically have about 18 months, because then you get some kind of midterm politics there, too. But you got about 18 months. After that, forget it. We have 18 months to fix this. Here's the good news. The Democrats are still in total disarray. We need to move quick. Just quickly, I want to put this up. Politico.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
There is no greater love than to die and sacrifice for your fellow man. So I wanted to do a special show for you tomorrow. And I had a couple people in mind from the military I thought would blow your mind. So Michael comes to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Are Democrats coconut-pilled? Someone to see Kamala Harris run again. What the hell kind of headline is that? They want to see Kamala Harris run again? Are you crazy? Like, what are you, nuts? She was the single worst presidential candidate they've run since Walter Mondale. They don't know what to do. What happens, and please watch tomorrow's show.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
We get into leadership and leadership vacuums with this Navy SEAL. It's amazing. Was she worse than Hillary? Yes, she was worse than Hillary. Yes, she was unquestionably worse than Hillary. Folks, he wants to know if she's worse than Hillary. Yes. I don't know. Folks in the chat, do you think she was worse than Hillary? I think by far. I don't even think it's close.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I think she was worse than Mondale. Thank you. She was a terrible candidate. She did not act the part. She didn't talk the part. She didn't look the part. She was always cackling. She had none of the characteristics of a leader. They are in disarray. They have this leadership vacuum that's so bad that they're looking to the woman who hit 100 as the number three hitter. Derek Kamala, 23.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Justin's saying he wants to volunteer. Kamala Harris, reach out to Justin. I'm going to skip that Reginsky thing we had next. I'm going to jump right to Tom Holman after this on the next video. But let's take a quick break. I'm going to get back to that. Because, you know, I wish more people would pay attention to this. Tom Holman, who's coming in as the border czar,
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
He did an interview with Tucker that's really, really good. But he hits on a point I wish, I hope, I pray more people start paying attention to it. It's the real purpose of illegal immigration. It's cheap labor. It is, yes. That's not the real purpose, however. That's the Chamber of Commerce purpose. The Democrats have a far more pernicious agenda, and Holman absolutely nails it. Stay tuned.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Our last break, I'll get back to that. Hey, when it comes to protecting your family, it's not just about having a firearm. Lethal force isn't the answer for every situation. Imagine an imminent threat comes to you and your family.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Instinct may drive you to reach for a firearm immediately, but what if there were a way to deescalate a situation and defend yourself without the irreversible consequences of deadly force? Berna is a non-lethal pistol launcher equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo, hitting capacity and attacker for up to 40 minutes.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
and he says dan you have got to check this guy out from the cleared hot podcast andy stump seal team six just an amazing guy you may have seen him on rogan and elsewhere folks we just did this interview and i'm going to tell you i came in with high expectations michael could not have done better picking this guy justin how freaking amazing was that interview
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
No need to go DEFCON 1, we just need protection to ensure we can defuse the situation and drive the threat away. I've trained with firearms for many years. The Berna pistol they sent me is one of the easiest to learn and use. If you don't own a firearm, or if you do own a firearm, it's still a great option to have.

We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
He's talking to Tucker about the real purpose of illegal immigration on the left. You need to pay attention to this because we will never win another presidential election again or control of the House of Representatives if you don't pay attention to the census and the role of illegal immigration in the census. Listen to the end of this. It's really important. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Oh my gosh, folks, I can't talk about this enough. This is one of my top five issues that I wish conservative media would focus on. I heard Laura Ingraham talk about it recently. Good for her. Tom Homan, you're a friend, you're a patriot. I'm begging you to keep bringing this up. Folks, yes, cheap labor is a part of it. I totally understand that. Put aside that argument for a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The Democrats put up the ABC article. Look at the date on this, back in 2020. The Democrats sued because the Trump administration, they wanted to exclude illegal immigrants. They call them undocumented, which is euphemistic bullshit. Illegal immigrants from the census. There is no way we should be including illegal immigrants in our census.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I mean, this guy's take on everything from drones to leadership to the real, real issue with wokeism in the military, the division, not just the political stuff. Please check it out tomorrow at the regular time. It'll be a regular show at 11 a.m. Well, there's some stuff in there in the beginning too. It'll be a regular show, but please don't miss it.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The reason the Democrats sued and made a huge stink over this to be able to include them is because people are moving out of liberal states like California, Illinois, Maryland, and New York. That's just a fact. They're moving to conservative states. So that has two effects. Number one, the House of Representatives, your congressman, You get a congressman for about every 700 residents of the state.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
If they can count illegals, liberal states get extra congressmen. It's simple math. Wow, that sucks, Dan. It sounds like we'll never ever get a congressional majority again on the Republican side if we keep pouring illegal folks into liberal states. Yes, that's the point. But it gets even worse. It affects another branch of government too.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Folks in the chat, you already know where I'm going with this. Holman just told you this. The electoral college that elects the president is based on the number of congressmen and senators in your state, two for everyone. More congressmen gives these liberal states the ability, as people move out, to bring new illegals in so they don't lose electoral college votes either. This is a huge deal.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
It's why the Democrats do not want the next census, do not want illegal immigrants excluded. It's a huge deal. By the way, some breaking news just happened during the podcast. There's an article that just popped in the New York Post that 17 military bases have had unexplained encounters with drones. And again, hammering my point home from before.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
And right around where these drones were found or spotted was land owned by China around these bases. How the hell we're selling sensitive land near military facilities to a foreign enemy of the United States so they can surveil us is just disgusting. It really is. It's one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. Was that, what was that? Was that, where was that?
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The government's drone denials. Was that later in the show? Can we bring that up now? Is that okay? Here, I was going to discuss this later in the show. But again, back to this topic. I'm sorry, but this just broke now. That's a huge story. I'm telling you, it's China. Not all of it. Not all of it. They are watching us. They are mapping us out. This is a serious thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
And nobody believes the government. Henninger is going to cover this later. But nobody trusts these people. The government's denials on drones are just complete bullshit. Nobody believes it. He notes the U.S. electorate's Trumpian turn isn't an outlier. A rising level of no confidence in government, what we've been talking about, has gone global. It's not just here.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Germany, their government collapsed this week. Did you know that? Francis did earlier last month. The vote in the UK put Labour back in power. Was it just a withdrawal of confidence in Conservative governance? It's governance at all. The Trudeau government in Canada could be next. Everybody wants to get rid of people in power because these people just suck.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
They can't give us an honest answer on anything. You told us the border was secure. You told us inflation was transitory. You told us the drones weren't a threat. And then you told us they didn't know what they were. Why would people believe you? You don't even believe yourself. Back to this illegal immigration argument. This was one of the major seismic shifts in the election.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I promise you, you're going to absolutely love this. Okay. Couple things. Obviously, the Fannie Willis thing just happened. That's the good news. The other piece of good news is Donald Trump, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, and others shut down this absolute shit sandwich of a CR last night, this continuing resolution. Folks, I'm sorry. We are not falling for this again. That's the title of today's show.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Border security and inflation. Folks, the left doesn't get it. We have two years to move. They are still sitting there thinking about Kamala Harris, open borders, how to get more illegals in the country. They have not adjusted to this new reality. We have to take tactical advantage while they're sitting there in a circular firing squad.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I want to play this clip for you out of New York to show you that the lunacy is not stopped. They have a position in New York. It's a very powerful position. It's largely ceremonial, but it's called the public advocate position. Everybody in New York City who gets it runs for mayor. So it's like a stepping stone position, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
So the New York City current public advocate, this is the craziest thing you're ever going to see. You think after the election they'd take stuff like this and throw it in the garbage? No. They want to give an exemption for illegal immigrants to be able to take like motorized bikes, you know, like scooters and stuff around the city. But they don't have to get a license plate. Just you do.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
And I want you to listen to the way the guy frames this. Like, it's really racist to ask people who are in the country illegally to have to get a license plate on your vehicle while you actually have to get one. This is how crazy these people are. We got two years. They're still not straight. Check this out. What's that? Yeah, this guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I mean, I always think back to John Edwards, that infamous Democrat candidate for president, John Kerry's vice presidential pick, talking about two Americas. He was talking about it from a wealth inequality and power standpoint, like a liberal Democrat. There are two Americas. There are illegals that get things you don't get. And then there's American citizens who you be locked up.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Folks, they haven't learned anything. It still hasn't kicked them in the balls yet that the world is changing. And I'm going to tell you something. I don't want to get presumptuous like the Democrats did after Obama. After Obama won reelection, the Democrats, they had this demographic destiny argument. The Colorado model. Many of you guys remember that?
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
where the thing was young voters, minorities, and single women, the Republicans would never win another election. And then what happened? Donald Trump happened. The Democrats had to go and throw the book out because now it looks ridiculous. I don't want to fall into that trap either, that, oh, this is the new Republican majority moving forward.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
But if we can string together a series of victories in the next two years, Folks, I'm not sure a lot of those black and Hispanic and younger voters that fell in love with the Trump agenda, where we broke down that Republican wall we couldn't forever, I'm not sure they ever go back. We may be in a really unique spot. Here's an example of what I mean. This is Chicago.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Mayor Brandon Johnson, the worst mayor in the country by far. A total disaster. I mean, the Democrats hate him, right? Here he is at one of these council meetings right there. And one of the citizens of Chicago, I always ask the question, is it bad enough yet? Well, it is for this guy. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I'm done with it. I'm tired of it. I'll address it today at the end of my radio show, so you leave with it. Folks, we... Folks in the chat, tell me if I'm crazy here. I need your feedback on this. This is important. I am a realpolitik guy. Don't mistake my passion for topics and my emotion. I don't want to sound ridiculous. a lack of pragmatism.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You see my point? You think this guy's going back? You think this guy's going to go back in the next election and vote for Kamala Harris if they run her again? You know, there's this awakening that happens that only goes in one direction. When liberals realize they've been lied to by shit government and their money's been stolen, they almost never go back.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You see a ton of liberals who became conservative. You see very little what David Brock types that pretended to be Republican and then go the other way. It's usually some money component. You know, like what's-her-name over at MSNBC who pretended to be a Republican. Take a paycheck. It doesn't matter. But you see very few people on principle who go back the other direction.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
It's like when your eyes are open and this awakening happens, you just simply can't go back to sleep. But, but, caveat emptor, buyer beware. We have got to string together a series of wins. Tying this back to the beginning of the show. That's why this CR was such a tactical misstep and Johnson and others, Speaker Johnson should have known better. We just won an election.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
People want to see results. They want to see you acting like it. We don't want more of what we just got rid of. Look at this segment, by the way. Another piece of news just broke in the last few hours. The Wall Street Journal has an amazing piece about Joe Biden. The extent the Biden White House went to cover up this guy's cognitive train wreck going on. Folks, it's bad. I warned you about it.

I told you I had sources there. I never lied to you. I told you the guy, this condition was worse than you knew. We were right again. The batting average is... 1,000, correct? Look at this. Biden's been in office four years. He does this interview just the other day. He just realized inflation's a problem for the Biden White House.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Folks, candidly, I'm not even sure if he even knows about inflation. Someone told him about it before the interview. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Is this guy taking a shot at comedy? Is he for real? Does he not understand? Like, did someone just wake him up this morning and shake him and say, hey, listen, inflation's been a problem? Here's the best part of this, though. Biden's like yesterday's news. The guy's the president name only at this point. He's the Pino. Everybody knows that, right? I want you to watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
This is a short clip, too. But here's Biden hilariously lecturing American politicians about using your office to grift. To grift and make money. If this is not peak Joe Biden, I've never seen it. Joe Biden lecturing people about grifting. This is an instant classic. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of at a real genuine loss for words. I'm having trouble stringing together syllables into words, into sentences. That Joe Biden... Not even the king, like the Star Wars-like emperor with Jedi-like powers of grifting is lecturing politicians about grifting. It's freaking hilarious. I told you, Joe Biden's the smartest guy in the room. Just ask him.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
This is a guy, he is a sociopath when it comes to his own personality. He has zero social IQ at all. And everything they told you, folks, was bullshit. And it's all coming around to haunt them. I saw this yesterday. I wanted to play this clip for you. Now that we know, I played it for you yesterday, the update. You remember the Aurora, Colorado apartment takeover by Trend de Aragua?
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I understand there is a math business up on Capitol Hill where you need certain votes. What I don't understand is we currently have a majority in the House of Representatives, meaning the Democrats have to come to us. That's what a majority is. Why would we shove a shit sandwich bill down America's throat that does nothing to cut spending and
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
And we were told by the liberal media and the Biden team and everyone that that's a conspiracy theory. There are no Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes. Well, it's happened. We now know that only took it over. They tortured people. The torture was disgusting. Honestly, I'm not even going to talk about it. I heard about it on Fox and Friends. I had to turn the volume down.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
It was so grossed out. Now we know it's true. Our batting average is... 1,000 yet again. Remember this gem from Martha Raddatz questioning J.D. Vance about gang members making out like it wasn't a big deal? Go read if you're into really gross, crazy stuff, what these people did to these people in Aurora, Colorado. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Only Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs. And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's open border.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You know what, Key? I'm just thinking, move that CNN one ahead of Pierre, because this is perfect for this. How, liberals, I know you watch my show. I get your death threats and stuff, okay? It's part of the business. I don't like it. I am abjectly against violence. But, you know, I get your nasty death threats, especially, you seem to like Facebook a lot. I always get them on Facebook.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
At what point do you say to yourself, again, I can't bring this up enough. Like, I'm not going to change your voting behavior. I get that. You're obviously a communist and you like that stuff. But how often are you going to be lied to? Like, don't you want accurate information? I mean, when you go into a store, don't you want, remember they used to have the prices on the thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Like, don't you want that to be the actual price? Like, you don't want to go to the register and be surprised. That said $4.99. No, it's $7.99. Yeah, but the price said $4.99. Yeah, we're surprising you at the register. Like, Do you ever say to yourself, I just want to say, I just want to believe what's advertised? You guys are lied to all the time by CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Vote for whoever you want. When is the bullshit enough? Is there ever like a bullshit red line? It happened again. Did you see this segment? I wasn't going to put this in the show, but Guy is obsessed with this segment. He's been asking me to play it for days. So CNN is another bullshit outlet. They're over in Syria. And because I hate this, by the way, I've been in the news business a while.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
A lot of these reporters want to be the story. They always want to look like heroes. You ever see in a hurricane, they go in and they sit in the water and they're like up to the knees like, oh my gosh. And the guy behind him is like running on the street, like doing a jog. This is one of those segments. They walk into this Syrian prison and they want to be heroes. So like, look at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
We rescued this prisoner. It turns out the prisoner in this case is a notorious Assad torturer who was the one actually torturing these people. And they're like, do you need water? Do you need water? This would have been one of our top 10 worst clips of the year if we hadn't already done the show. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I mean, unbelievably, finances a censorship operation out of the State Department, gives Congress a pay raise, deals with, like, the transfer of a football stadium. You're telling us this is such a pressing thing, and then you're freaking us all, oh, my gosh, the government's going to close that. It's not our freaking fault.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Michael brought up a great point. He's like an accountant, so he thinks like an accountant. He's like a spreadsheet guy. He's like, no one noticed from CNN that this guy's got a perfectly coiffed haircut. He's actually like a little fat. Like, what is he eating? Did he get McDonald's in there or something? Michael, Michael is a Harris.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Michael spends an inordinate amount of time and he's got like the best hair ever. I have none of that. I don't have to worry about it. You shave that sucker off. But no, that was a great point though, Michael. I didn't even think of that. Nobody from CNN, like you were an investigative reporter, right? Thought it was odd that number one, the guy doesn't want to come out, obviously, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
He's sitting there on the, you think a prisoner would be, Oh my gosh, thank you for opening the door. He doesn't want to come out. He's clearly hiding. And he looks like he's surrendering or something like that. And you're like, wow, this guy looks awfully clean, smells good, he's got a haircut. He's kind of fat for a guy who's supposedly been in prison for three to six months.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You didn't notice this was the torturer himself? Okay, you may not have noticed, but you didn't sense something was up with that? He's like, hey, you want water? Look at you. What are you... I am so sick of these fake news losers. We are the media now. We are the media now. Someone wanted the Bain? Do you feel like you're in charge? And I love that he puts the back of his hand on his shoulder.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Because you're not. We're in charge now. We're the news. This is where it's at. I got one more clip for you. It's pretty good. You guys see this Canadian race that's going on right now. Justin Trudeau is finished. He's done. Canada's had enough of his bullshit. The guy's a straight up commie. There were some rumors he may resign.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
His finance minister, who's a total disaster, was a COVID train wreck, resigned. But Pierre Polivier is running against him. He is going to be running Canada very shortly. And the media people trying to set him up, they're trying to set up a little fight between Canada and Donald Trump. Trump is not fighting Canadians. He's fighting Justin Trudeau. He's doing something very smart.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
He's trying to humiliate Trudeau, who's humiliated for liberty and freedom and Canadians for a long time to make sure he gets out of office. Of course, the media, which is always 10 steps behind, doesn't catch that. So they try to catch Olivier to make it like a Trump versus Canada thing. This guy is just so good at beating the media at their own bullshit game.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You guys had a year to work on this thing and are now stuck in a shit sandwich at the end. We paid you to get, you know, conservative spending bills across, and you didn't do anything. I don't want my point to get lost here. The point is this.

We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)

The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Man, this guy's good at that. That is a skill, man, and this guy's got it. They were trying to set him up. We don't need that. What he's doing is going after Trudeau. He's not going after Canada. Media tried to set him up, and it didn't work. Folks, tomorrow, please don't miss it. I've got a SEAL team operator on. You may have seen him on The Rogan Show. He's got his own podcast, Andy Stumpf.

If you had at least a little bit of success over the past 30 years, Republicans in Congress saying, hey, we're not going to fight this fight now, but we'll fight it next time. We would say, okay, maybe we agree to this bullshit. I wouldn't, but maybe we'll agree to it until March. Then when Trump gets in, we'll go back and we'll cut some spending.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The problem everybody has is you guys just keep telling us this and you never actually do anything ever. The most unforgivable piece of this spending bill that should have never, ever been agreed to was this Global Engagement Center thing from the State Department.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Do you understand if you've been screwed over by a bullshit fact check, you were kicked off Twitter before Elon, or any of this other stuff, do you understand that was largely due to operations like the Global Engagement Center at the State Department? Why the hell would Republicans in Congress agree to fund this thing? Oh, look, we have the answer. Gabe Kaminsky, he's a pretty good reporter.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
There's like a thousand different universes out there. Manifest the one you want. I have manifested an unbelievable transition period where the ass kicking continues and it just keeps going on. I just did something before this show, and I wasn't going to tell you about it, but I am going to tell you about it because it was so freaking amazing. Stand by.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
This is a really long tweet. I'm not going to go through the whole thing. But a lot of people are pissed off at the Speaker for this. This isn't the kind of thing that slips through the cracks. Get used to it, Mr. Speaker and others. Twitter, the second this bill goes public, there are algorithms designed to pick this stuff out. Everybody knows what's in it. There's no hiding anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
According to a congressional source familiar with the matter, the Global Engagement Center provision was a private demand from Senate Democrats. in exchange for another provision Republicans want. So just to be clear, who thought this was a good idea? We're going to allow a State Department operation to be funded to censor conservatives because we wanted some tax cut? I love tax cuts.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The Corporate Transparency Act is a disaster. I get it. But we're trading away people's civil liberties. We're not doing that. Two points here. Number one, we as conservatives do not negotiate away civil liberties like free speech. I'm sorry. I don't know what you were thinking. We're paying you guys an exorbitant amount of money.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You're getting your ass kissed by lobbyists all day to go and battle for civil liberties in the Constitution, not give them up. And second, throw that up again at the end, please. They had a private demand for a deal. In other words, let us censor people through the State Department.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Let us censor people through the State Department and we'll give you this Corporate Transparency Act provision thing. The Democrats don't stick to deals anyway. Here, you need some evidence? Here are the receipts. The Democrats always give you the middle finger on deals. You read this Wall Street Journal article? So there was another deal, too, about judges retiring.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I'm not going to go into the whole thing, but read this piece if you want to get pissed off. It's called Judges Unretire After Trump Wins. So it turns out Republicans cut a deal with Democrats that said these liberal judges are going to retire. We will give you these Biden judicial nominees, but those judges are going to retire. So it was basically a zero sum. Well, look what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The Senate Republicans got played. They said okay to the Biden nominees, and all of a sudden the judge is unretired. So to the Democrats and their bullshit deal for our First Amendment. And no, I'm not riling up the audience. I'm telling the audience the truth. And as I said to people, I earned this microphone and the Bongino Army earned their place out there too. And we're tired of this bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You got to shut the government down until Trump gets in there, then shut it down. Even Newt Gingrich, who's not known as some big flamethrower, right? Even Newt Gingrich this morning, I retweeted it, said, listen, this is time for shock treatment. The government's got to shut down to make this point that we're going bankrupt. Then the government's got to shut down.
The Dan Bongino Show

Speaker Johnson and the leadership, this is not personal, by the way. Stop with the nonsense. I am a transactional spreadsheet guy. If you had any history of plus ones on this stuff and big victories on top line spending, we'd be like, okay, maybe we'll give you a pass. You just don't. There is a credibility factor here I'm going to get to in a second. Nobody believes the government anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Nobody. About anything. About drones, about freaking UFOs, about the border, about inflation. Expertise is dead. Please don't do this to the party in this amazing transition period where I opened up the show with good news. All this good stuff is happening. Please don't ruin it. This is kind of funny. Heavy stuff at the beginning of the show. You know my cannibalism theory?
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The lefties will always eat themselves alive. Folks, we have them up against the wall right now, the left, not the other way around. I was talking to a friend yesterday and I said, listen, we won. We need to start acting like it. We won. We may not win in the midterms. We may not win in the next presidential election, but we won now. I only live in the present. I don't live in the freaking future.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
I only live in the now. We won. Freaking act like it. This is hilarious. Watch CNN and liberal Senator Dick Durbin. I mean, one of the most liberal senators you're ever going to find. There is a congressional pay raise built into this, which there's no time for that right now. We can talk about that later. It should not have been put in there at all. It's a terrible messaging tool.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Watch CNN confront Durbin on the pay raise. And then the liberal Durbin firing back at CNN like, hey, you guys get a raise and you suck too. This is liberal on liberal political violence here. Folks, I told you, cannibalism theory. Just give it time. They'll eat themselves alive. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
You love to see it, man. You love to see it. I told you the cannibalism theory is real. You think I just make these theories up because I'm bored on the weekend? Let me throw out some theories. I'm sitting around playing at the blackjack table. All you got to do is be an observer of this. Eventually, they start eating themselves alive because they're totally unprincipled.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
The privilege to get tax pardons while many hardworking Americans like you don't. The IRS just stepped up enforcement. If you owe back taxes or have unfiled returns, do not wait for the IRS letter to come to act. Waiting to get caught could make you look like a tax evader and it'll probably not end well. Getting ahead of this is a smart move, but I urge you to never contact the IRS to learn.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Our fights are unprincipled. Their fights are all about bullshit. They don't know what to do anymore. They are lost. We are in charge. We are the media now, folks. Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and a bunch of conservative members of Congress make no mistake. Shut this thing down. This is a warning to members of Congress, and it is done with a pure heart.
The Dan Bongino Show

Not trying to be an asshole, not trying to abuse the privilege of this microphone. I'm trying to do you a favor. You can listen to me and get out of your bubble, or you can continue to get shit rolled. I don't know what to tell you.

You are the majority. I know we don't have the Senate. I know we don't have the presidency at this point. But we do in just a month. Listen, when me and Newt Gingrich, I wouldn't call him an establishment guy, but he's definitely not some MAGA flame-throwing guy, agree on the exact same thing, then it's time to move. It's time for some shock treatment, man. Everybody in the chat agrees.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Folks, we may blow the chat up again on this, but that's okay. It's like every time we blow it up, we learn new things, which is fantastic. Yes, shut it down, or no, sign this bill, eat the shit sandwich, and deal with it because we'll get them next time. Fire away. Fire away. Let me see it. Put it up on his room. Fire away.
The Dan Bongino Show
We Are NOT Falling For This Again (Ep. 2391)
Because I'm telling you, I'm of the opinion, if this is the best we're going to get, shut it down because we're never going to fix anything because nobody's serious. And if they're not willing to take the syrup of Ipecac now, they're never going to do it. Bot Gino, get on the case. I don't see a single no. Do you see one? Shut it down. Look at the chat. Burn it. Burn it to the ground.

Burn that chat to the ground. You still can't. Keep it going. Shut it down. Shut it down. Shut it down. No more bullshit. Bullshit time is over. I should have won my cutesy time is over shirt today. Because it's over. We won. Freaking act like it.

Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I think we should kill the Hamas demon savages because they want to kill us too. Why? Because I've been overseas in the Middle East many times and listened to briefings about them fucking wanting to kill us. That's why. However, put the CNN headline up again, please. Sorry. This is bullshit. Look at the date, May of 2024. Since May, I've been negotiating.

Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Yes, you've been telling Israel to let the Hamas demon savages win. And then he has the balls to say America's support for Israel weakened Hamas. Trump's support for it. It's not America's support for Israel. What are you talking about? I'll tell you what they threatened Israel with. Withholding from them critical military resources to win this fight. That's what they did. It's obvious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Even CNN reported on it. Then there's a third part to this. I told my team to coordinate with the incoming team to speak with one voice. I want you to understand what's going on here. Joe Biden knew nobody was listening to him in Israel. He just said it in the beginning of the thing. I have used said about talked about this exact framework since May.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Since May, everybody's given him the double barrel middle finger because he's a feckless oatmeal brains loser. Donald Trump comes in, says, give us back our hostages or there'll be, quote, hell to pay. Put that up. Put up the Trump true social. December 2nd, 2024. This is just over a month ago after the election.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Obviously, there will be, quote, all hell to pay in the Middle East for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity. How much clearer do you want it to be? All of a sudden, after Donald Trump puts out this true social post, wow, magically Hamas wants to come to the table. And then notice, I told my team to speak with one voice. It's not one voice.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Here's what was going on, folks, and make no mistake. I want you to listen to me clearly. Biden was negotiating for Hamas. The Trump team was negotiating for peace, a fair deal, and the hostages coming back or there were going to be a lot of Hamas dead bodies. That's what happened. I don't give a shit what anybody else tells you. That's exactly what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Even his own State Department had to admit it. They were afraid, Biden, no matter how shitty of a deal this was, they pushed, they said, hey, you want support from Democrats in the future? You're going to do this deal before Trump takes office, no matter how shitty it is. That's what happened, man. And the Trump team, their hands were tied. He's not the president yet until Monday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
There's nothing he could do. He can't stop Biden from being president until Monday. It's the real scoop, man. Got a bunch of, this is, there's no situation I'm more strongly sourced on within this operation than this. I'm telling you, this is bullshit. Biden is smoking you up. Even his own State Department rep had to admit that there'd be no deal without Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I'll play that for you coming up next. And then the absolutely hapless, the most pathetic member of the Biden administration, Karine Jean-Pierre, who just, again, you want to talk about a self-owned? She doesn't even know the State Department spokesperson? Don't doubt me. Coming up next, we've all seen the headlines. Cyber attacks on our grid, drones in the sky, violent attacks on Americans.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
The ugly truth is no leader, no system will protect you from everything. You're going to see emergencies no matter who's in charge. That's why you need to be prepared. Do not rely on the government in an emergency. They will let you down. That's a guarantee. Food's the first casualty. You want to be waiting on panic lines in the supermarket while your kids are starving? Of course you don't.

Here is, again, the disconnect in the Biden White House, which at this point, nobody is speaking with a coherent voice. Nobody. Why? Because Biden is losing his mind. He's got oatmeal for brains, folks. Nobody knows what he's saying because he doesn't know what he's saying.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Here's the State Department rep, Matt Miller. Biden's State Department, obviously. Trump's not in charge until Monday, right? Here he is saying straight out, and this guy, by the way, is no conservative. Hey, this wouldn't have happened due to the Trump team. I don't want you to listen to Kareem Jean-Pierre after who potentially doesn't know who this guy is. Take a look at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Folks, I want you to understand what Miller's saying here. What he's saying here is Trump's hands were tied. Biden is obviously still the president. As I said to you yesterday, there is no declining value of the presidency each and every day until you leave office. You were the president until the last second. You have all the powers of the presidency until the second Trump swears in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
The Trump team knows that. Their hands were tied. Israel knows they would have gotten a better deal under Trump. But because Biden didn't want his reputation ruined, say he leaves office on Monday, Trump's going to get a deal right away. It would have been a far better one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
The Democrats and Biden definitely went and pressured and squeezed the Israelis and said, you want Democrat cooperation in the future? You're going to cut a shit deal now while Trump's hands are tied. That's what happened, bro. That's what happened. How do I know that? Because Miller's saying, hey, Trump team, thank you. Here's Kareem Jean-Pierre. Pretend she doesn't even know who this guy is.

The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I'm not going to... What the... You don't... You don't know who the State Department spokesperson is? Chat's going wild right now. The chat is melting down. Folks, is this not the dumbest human being to ever occupy an administrative position at a high level in the White House? Justin, even if you didn't know who he is, Matt Miller, why would you admit to that? Just fake it. Some random person?
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
He's the State Department spokesperson, you moron. Listen. Thank you. My gosh. By the way, folks, we're going to be, unless she gets a show on MSNBC, this thing's going to be retired soon, shamefully. So we need to use that as often as possible. Can you imagine? Listen, let me just be clear on this up front, so don't send me any nasty emails. I am not a fan of her or John Kirby.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
They both they're both bullshit artists. At least John Kirby prepares to bullshit you. Can you imagine Kirby sitting in the back room having to listen to this idiot say she doesn't know who the State Department spokesperson is? If this doesn't sum up the Biden administration, I don't know what does.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I want to close out the matter on this because I want to get to the security of the inauguration, too. Politico article that should have some eyebrows raised, okay? Yeah, it's Politico, but sometimes a blind squirrel gets a nut, too. I told you what's going on here. I need you to listen to me. Two things are true. This deal does not happen without Trump, and it is a bad deal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
But it's not a bad deal because of Trump. It is a bad deal because the Democrats cannot have Carter Part II. The Iranians were holding hostages. Jimmy Carter was weak. The Democrats were perceived as weak. It created a political problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
The Iranians released the hostages seconds after Ronald Reagan, who was perceived as strong, was sworn in, which made the Democrats look so bad they didn't win another presidential election for 12 years. The Democrats are terrified that Trump gets into office on Monday, drops a freaking Moab on a Hamas facility, the hostages get released, and Trump looks like a hero.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
So the Democrats cajole the Israelis into a shitty deal. And told them, you want to deal with Democrats again in the future, you better sign this deal. That's what happened. Here's ABC, no friend to us, the hapless Martha Raddatz and David Muir, whatever the hell his name is, acknowledging that they're terrified of Carter Part 2 here. Don't listen to me, listen to them. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Again, folks, it's not personal. Nobody cares. You don't have to be nice. I don't need you to be nice to me. I don't need you to like me. You can hate my guts. If you vote conservative, I like your outcome. We're all about spreadsheets and outcomes. Correct in the chat. Thank you. So assuming nothing happens with Senator Marco Rubio's confirmation, he has not resigned yet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
This destroyed the Democrats for three presidential cycles. You think they're stupid? The Democrats may be demonic in many respects, the liberal wing, okay? They're not stupid. They understand if Trump swears in on Monday and Hamas and Israel agree to a deal and you see hostages walking out, hugging their families under Trump, the Democrats will be finished again and Trump's approval will jump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Oh my gosh, this is about politics? I thought it was about saving lives. I'm sorry you believe that. Even the left-wing media people are acknowledging. By the way, thank you. There's David Muir, clothespin guy. Had to make sure he had a nice tailored fire jacket going on there. That's who these people are. I always bring the receipts. I'm never going to let you down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Even they're telling you it's true. If the Israelis would have waited a few more days, they would have gotten a far better deal. Biden was the Hamas negotiator. Here's one last clip on this. A hat tip, Colin Rugg. It's a side by side. Here's Biden, who is so offended when someone from the media asks him, hey, is Donald Trump responsible for this deal? Is this a joke?
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Then I want you to watch why the deal happened right after that. And you'll see what I'm telling you is true. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Folks, this guy has mother grapefruit for balls, Trump. That's why this happened, period. There is no deal without a Trump victory. None. And don't forget it. Quick break, and then I got to get to some very serious stuff again about the inauguration. Some good news, some bad news. However, can they get a coherent story? The FBI just told us the other day that they're not tracking any threats.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
He'll probably obviously wait till Monday. We will see Ashley Moody in that Senate seat. No reason to believe otherwise. We care about outcomes. Having said that, scrap that for a second. Okay, great. Ashley Moody, fantastic. This opens up a number of different things in Florida politics that affect the whole country. Number one is, what does Matt Gaetz do?
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
However, there's a Politico article that's about a security assessment that says they may be tracking some threats. So what is it? Are they talking in general, in specifics? Who cares? If there's a threat, there's a threat. Quick break. We'll get right back to that. Do you resolve to get healthier this year? I've got the solution for you. You know what?

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. This is going to be one of those crazy news days. I don't have a lot of time, so I want to get to a lot. I got to pack a lot in this hour. Israel-Hamas proposed deal. A little bit of a personal note. An interview today. Joe Biden's ridiculous speech last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Folks, again, given the prior line of work you're all aware of at this point, I don't need to repeat it. I am extremely concerned about President Trump's security. I'm not the only one. Of course, you are as well. It is the question I by far get the most on Facebook, through social, Rumble, in the chat. I told you the other day that I have sources too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I really don't care if the media respects me or my sources. I've been right. They've been wrong. I don't respect them. It's not symmetrical. They have been wrong. I've been right. I'm hearing that the threats to the inauguration are real. Will they materialize? Folks, the threat to President Trump is real every day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
It doesn't mean something's going to happen in the inauguration because there may be a security plan to, in fact, mitigate specific threats. You get what I'm saying? But the threat is real. And I don't want to be told by anyone that the threat isn't real because my sources are good and your sources suck if you're in the media.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Matt Gaetz, former congressman, as you know, was the attorney general nominee, stepped aside. He's now Pam Bondi. You know Matt Gaetz has political aspirations. He's talked about it. Does Matt Gaetz now run for governor, or does Matt Gaetz now run for attorney general, which is now going to be vacated because Ashley Moody, the attorney general, will be the senator. One more thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I told you the other day that when the FBI agents said, well, they're not tracking any specific threat, that I'm kind of on that. All of a sudden, this Politico article comes out. Trump inauguration is a potential target for threats, agencies warn.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Apparently, there's a security assessment ahead of the inauguration, which reflects a heightened political and potentially violent environment in which President Trump will assume power. Sounds like something I told you. The security assessment isn't great. Having said that, Having been involved in inaugural security in the past, the security assessment's never great.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Does that mean something's going to happen? It doesn't. Does that mean I'm not concerned about it? It definitely doesn't. I am concerned. I am specifically concerned about the threat from drones. Apparently, there's some people in the Secret Service. I don't know who these people are because they're anonymous in this fantastic article by Susan Crabtree on Real Clear Politics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Secret Service readies for higher threat Trump inauguration. This is in the newsletter. Please read it. Bongino.com slash newsletter. You'll get these articles every day. It's free to sign up. I want you to read this one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
On his Tuesday podcast, Bongino argued that the FAA's temporary flight restrictions for drones and aircraft are not easily enforceable, describing them as stop signs that can be violated, which is true. Ladies and gentlemen, yes, there are other measures. I'm just telling you this is not some iron wall around D.C. that can't be violated.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
And it concerns me that I don't think people in the security D.C. capital region are prepared for a worst case airborne assault scenario. I'm getting that from sources. Are my sources right? They've been right in the past. said they're basically suggestions. If it isn't, this is Crabtree talking.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
There are other things we can do to make sure planes and drones don't violate the flight restrictions, Bongino said, noting he didn't want to disclose methods. However, I'm not sure we have the manpower for all that. Now, hold that thought. Notice that's, actually, go back to that a second. However, notice the last, Susan Crabtree's quoting me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
However, Dan Bongino, me, I'm not sure we, meaning the Secret Service, has the manpower for that situation. In other words, to do what has to be done right now to enforce that aerial security picture up in the air. This is the strangest thing. Here's part two of this. Some insider at the Secret Service basically acknowledges what I said while simultaneously brushing it off.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Multiple Secret Service agents brushed aside specific concerns about drones, citing far more systemic and ongoing challenges the agency faces that can negatively impact security, including manpower. I just fucking said that. Can you go back to screen one? This is what I'm talking about. You trust me? What do you trust these other guys?
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I'm not sure we can secure the airspace, basically, because I'm not sure we have the manpower. Screen two. Well, they brushed that off, citing manpower concerns. That's what I fucking said. Holy shit, man. And I'm sorry if you're offended by the line. I'm a kid from Queens, but I'm serious about this stuff. Agents pointed out an internal email sent out Friday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Manpower update, where they basically talk about how stressed out everybody is and how tired they are and how they can't find people. Holy Moses, man. They brushed off Bongino's concerns by doubling down and saying he's right? Guys, whatever, man. I'm not going to waste any more time on this. And the topic isn't stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
It's pretty obvious, I think, at this point, Congressman Byron Donalds, another MAGA guy, along with Matt Gaetz, who's a MAGA guy. Congressman Byron Donalds is probably going to run for governor. I have no inside info on that. He did not tell me that. I like Congressman Donalds a lot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
It's just, this is really dumb that you've got people out there doing this inside the service. Oh, they brushed off the concerns. We've got this. Except he's absolutely right that there's no manpower. Why is there no manpower? Because your Secret Service is doing a thousand things.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
And if anyone from the Trump team calls me about this, I'm going to make sure that I push to get this guy's life and his family's life secured by stopping the Secret Service from having their agents do 10 missions and have them do one. Keep this guy alive no matter what. That's it. We don't need to be doing Nick Mick. We don't need to be doing credit card cases, counterfeit cases.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Those are all important things. Let the IRS, let TIGTA or Treasury or let DHS do that. HSI, whatever. We don't need to be doing that. That's not what we do. You're going to listen to me or you're going to listen to the people at the top who've got this guy nearly killed twice. Who's got the agenda here? I don't need a freaking job. You think I need a job?

There's a lot of great guys over there, but there's a lot of work to One of the first things we're going to do, or I'm going to push for, if anyone's interested, if you are, you are. If you're not, you're not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Like I said, I have the Trump transition team. I have not spoken to them about this. I want to be crystal clear. We have got to get the Secret Service back, along with our military, to universal standards. This Pete Hegseth brought this up repeatedly in the hearing the other day. I'm going to tie these two stories together.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Does this now open up a path because Ashley Moody was saying, or not saying, I should say there were some rumors she was considering running for governor as well. So does that clear a path for Byron Donalds? I don't know. We'll see. Interesting. Just happened. A lot to get to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Ladies and gentlemen, there is no reason why in the military or the Secret Service, a job that could involve potential hand-to-hand combat, firearms combat, that there should be any fitness disparities between males and females. If you're a female who wants to be a Secret Service agent, the Secret Service values you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
There is a role for everyone in the Secret Service as long as you can meet standards. As long as you can meet standards. Matter of fact, having been there, I can tell you for a fact There are roles men can't do. You have female secret service agents. When a female protectee goes inside the bathroom, it's kind of weird for a guy to go with them. However, we have to have standards. Standards.

It is important. Not standards for women and standards for men. Because when the bad guys start shooting at us, they're not going, is this a woman or a guy? When they want to kick your ass and beat the crap out of you, they're not interested in what sexual parts you have. Charlie Kirk brought this up the other day in light of what Pete Hegseth was talking about up on the Hill.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
This isn't about women in combat. It's about standards in combat. Charlie notes that an Army servicewoman gets a perfect score deadlifting 210 pounds, which is notably not as heavy as one soldier wearing a full 100-pound kit. Men need to deadlift 340 pounds to get a perfect score. Hegg says 100% right to demand gender-neutral combat standards. There are the standards yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
You can look at them if you'd like on Charlie Kirk's feed if you want to look at it in detail. Some of you in the military already know this. The Secret Service has the same thing. When I was there, not aware of the standards now. They haven't briefed me in. I'm not an agent. Anymore, I believe guys needed to do nine chin-ups, not pull-ups, but chin-ups when you're, is it supinated grip, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Which isn't even a lot to get a perfect score. It should be closer to 15 or 20. And in women, I don't know how many, four maybe they had to do. That's not the same thing. I don't understand if Donald Trump, who's a big guy, he's well over six feet tall. He's a big husky guy. I don't understand what's going to happen with a woman on the DTA.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
You're going to go, hold on, my fitness standards were different. I can't carry him out of here. Please explain to me in what universe that makes sense. No, I know, he's a CrossFitter. 340 deadlift is not easy, folks. There's probably less than 1% of 1% of guys on the planet who can do that. Gym goers is probably maybe 5% or less, maybe less than that.
The Dan Bongino Show

The Dan Bongino Show

But, you know, if you're in the 1,000-pound club, bench, squat, deadlift, and you can total that for 1,000 pounds, you're in like the 0, 0, 0, 0, 1%. But you want to get an excellent score, that's what it means. We have to be lethal, which involves our soldiers being in shape. I want to get to this because it was the title of today's show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
We opened up with Biden's dreadful, ridiculous, tragic, at the same time, almost hilarious speech last night. You had to laugh at this guy thinking that he's some kind of transformative figure. But folks, it's very serious. His reign of destruction out the door. Pay very close attention to this segment. It's not over. He still has a few more days to screw the country over.

Folks, they are shoveling money out the door at a ridiculous pace right now before Trump gets in there to make sure that their lobbyists, their war machine people are paid off, their insiders are paid off. And the problem is... that this money shoveled out the door is going to detract from the GDP numbers when Trump gets in office, making his growth numbers look bad, doing this on purpose.
The Dan Bongino Show

I know it's a little complicated. I'll quickly explain to you the scheme, but listen to St. Onge explain the gist of it first. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Folks, he's shoveling this money out the door because the formula for GDP, gross domestic product, how the United States economy is growing, the formula is it's a C plus G plus I plus X minus M. It's consumer spending, government spending, investment, exports minus imports. It's not a perfect formula at all, but government spending is the G in there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
He wants the government spending portion of it factored into his GDP number and stolen from Trump. He doesn't care where the money goes. I'm telling you what this guy's doing right now is he is burning a path of destruction out of the White House, and he's doing so many awful things between Cuba and Elon, suing Elon, everything. I'll get to that in a second. That these stories are getting lost.

E.J. Antoni, who's an economist over at Heritage, I believe, who's been on my show many times, notes that the interest on the debt last month under Biden, the interest we're paying on the debt, was $140 billion. That was 66% of all of the income taxes collected in December. Think about that. Every single human being in the United States had paid income taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
66% of your money didn't finance the military, social spending, social security. They were paying interest on the debt, not even the debt itself. Do you understand how catastrophic a situation Biden's left us due to the Inflation Production Act, the American Rescue Plan, porculus, and all this ridiculous government spending? That's why inflation's exploding again.

This is the shit sandwich this guy's leaving us with. You doubt me? Here's a left-wing station acknowledging inflation spiking again because we're spending a shit ton of money out the door. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Folks, that's not an accident. We're printing money we don't have. Where does the money go? Into the economy to chase products. The products can then charge more money because there's more money chasing the products. This isn't complicated. Did you see this story out the door? I covered it yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Biden's SEC, Securities Exchange Commission, is suing Elon Musk with just days to go in office over Twitter stock buys? This is hilarious. Alleging that there was an underpayment? Elon overpaid for Twitter. Dramatically. There's not a single person with an ounce of reason, common sense, or a functioning neuron that believes Elon got a deal on Twitter. He overpaid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
If anybody got screwed, it was Elon. The SEC suing him. Why are they suing him? Because Biden knows the case is bullshit, wants Donald Trump to come in and his SEC to dump this frivolous ridiculosity. So then the left wing media vulture assholes can go, Donald Trump is a tech oligarch. Look what he's doing. Just like the speech in the beginning of the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
The good news is we pretty much own the media now, and we'll just knock that down just like we did the car bloodbath hoax. That's not going to work. I already told you it's bullshit. Donald Trump and their SEC should dump this ridiculous nonsense day one. Elon overpaid for Twitter. He should get a refund.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Daily Mail, Biden's sneaky and dirty plot to slow down Trump on day one, despite promising a smooth transition. You see what Biden's doing? Making people Schedule A employees and moving around the line of succession to make sure as people resign, Biden people are in charge long enough before Trump confirmations to screw everybody over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
And Biden appointees because they're reallocating or excuse me, rescheduling them to different schedules. You can't fire them easy. Folks, this guy is a metastasizing cancer Biden on the ass of humankind. That's what he is. He's destroying this country out the door. And it's freaking gross to watch. I love this place. This is embarrassing. No president modern times has done this. No one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
There is nothing this guy's doing to make the country go through a smooth transition. I don't even think he should show up. I think he should just leave the White House. Really. He doesn't even deserve to be there. Folks, I want to get this in before we got some time left here. There's another hearing debacle happened yesterday, and the left is just clocking L's here, left and right, to watch it.

Candidly, it's hilarious. I know you had Pam Bondi yesterday, but there were a number of other hearings yesterday as well. Russ voted OMB. This is hilarious. This is Gary Peters. He is just another moron senator from Michigan.

My gosh, these guys are so stupid. Can you imagine not knowing that? And then again, saying it, it's like Kareem Jean-Pierre, right? You don't know Matt Miller because you're not that bright. You don't have to acknowledge it and show the world how stupid you are. Never ask a question. How many times do I have to tell you this? Never ask a question in a hearing you don't know the answer to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Don't do it. I don't know how many times the Democrats are going to get burned by this. Crazy Maisie Hirono struck again yesterday, probably the dumbest United States Senator, not the dumbest member of the entire body up there. Of course, on the House side, you have AOC to deal with, Eric Swalwell, Dan Goldman. That's quite a competition over there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Here's crazy Maisie Hirono with Pam Bondi yesterday. Asking Pam Bondi, our Attorney General nominee, yes, this actually happened yesterday. You know why she's doing this, right? Lobbed the unfounded allegation. This is what Rush Limbaugh, he's called this is drive-by media. You throw the allegation, you hit the people, and you just drive off.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Here's crazy Maisie Hirono lobbing the craziest yet intro I've ever seen through a question, asking Pam Bondi if she's ever committed sexual assault.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Can you imagine you've got five minutes on the Senate floor in front of a national audience to expose? Expose her. You're a Democrat. And this is the question you ask? Of course, it only got better. Here was Bondi actually exposing crazy Maisie Hirono. Again, I think the dumbest senator. It's close, but she's up there. Maybe number one.
The Dan Bongino Show

Yes, so last night, Joe Biden, I'm going to go into at length today, Joe Biden's, I promised you yesterday, what he's doing out the door to burn the country to the freaking ground. I'm telling you, if you're interested in the fall of the
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
noting that it's crazy Maisie Hirono that actually refused to meet with Pam Bondi. If she was so concerned about Pam Bondi randomly running around and sexually assaulting people, she could have asked her in a meeting, but she didn't because she refused to meet with her, which Bondi just wrecks her on. This is glorious. Check this out.

This is how it's done. This is how it's done, kids. That's exactly how it's done. And here's how it's done, too. Here's Pam Bondi with Shifty, Adam Schiff, lying fraud who California just elected as a senator, a lying fraud piece of garbage who made up and fabricated a story that destroyed the nation, a Russia collusion hoax that this guy's primarily responsible for.
The Dan Bongino Show

Folks, this is how it's done. If these hearings are going to degenerate into a circus, then listen, show the animals for who they are. That's how it's done. Don't ask questions you don't know the answer to. And when they ask questions like that, make sure you turn it back on them. Man, that was a show today. Was that loaded or what?

Every single thing that could go wrong, you have in Joe Biden. So he gives a speech going out the door. I'm only going to play about 25 seconds of it. But I found this part to be both tragic and, again, sadly comical at the same time. Joe Biden and the Democrats, who loved Silicon Valley when they were all Democrat donors and censoring conservatives, they loved him.

Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida has announced that he will appoint to the vacated seat, soon to be vacated seat, of Senator Marco Rubio, Ashley Moody, the Attorney General. Ladies and gentlemen, what's the golden rule on this? If you're going to ask me in the chat, love you, you all are the best, but what do you think? The answer is I don't think anything. Why? Because I only care about outcomes.

Folks, is this guy for real? These guys were in bed having relations with tech companies. As long as they made sure you didn't tell people masks didn't work for COVID, which they didn't work. It was like a condom that never failed in spreading an STD, the mask. The thing never worked. Everyone who wore a mask got COVID. But if you told the truth about it, they censored you and they loved it.

It's why you got your asses kicked in the last election. Stop the insanity, please. All right, moving on. That whole speech last night was a joke. Nobody watched it. I mean, for a presidential departure speech, you would think most of America would care at least what he has to say. I've heard nobody talking about this at all, except people who are really knee deep in politics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
It was an embarrassing, humiliating speech celebrating easily the worst presidency in modern American history, that disgraceful, corrupt, sociopathic Joe Biden. Folks, we don't do a lot of foreign policy on this show, but there's going to be a lot of interest in this topic. Now, I'm going to say in advance, as I've said often, ladies and gentlemen, I am as serious as a stroke about this.

If you are one of these people, I know it's hard to look in the mirror, that hates any ethnic group at all, Hispanics, blacks, Asians, Jews, I'm sorry, but you're not welcome here. Well, I'm not sorry, but you're not welcome here. You can watch the show. I can't stop. I'm just telling you, you're not going to like my show because we don't do that shit. It's not a virtue signal.

So if you're a Jew hater and the thing is like, you just want to hate the Jews. I'm not saying you don't have a reasonable objection to peace deals. You don't like the Netanyahu government. You have objections to Israel policy. That is fine. We do free speech. I support a platform that supports all views on Rumble. I actually invest in it. Speak your turn.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
If your thing is I hate Jews and everything they do is wrong, you're not going to like the show. The show's not for you. You don't have to announce your departure. It's not an airport. You can just go. You're not going to like it. We're never going to agree. Everybody cool with that? Because I don't want to deal with 6,000 people in the chat. The Jews did it. I'm not interested in stupidity, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
If you replace that with any other ethnic group, you'd be horrified at your stupidity, okay? So just stop. Foreign policy matters, whether it's Israel, Jordan, Ghana, South Africa, France. What happens overseas matters because we all live on the same rock. Do we have to be involved in everything all the time? No, that's open for debate.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
But what happened and is still happening right now about this alleged deal, I say alleged deal because nothing's finalized because you're dealing with demon savages in Hamas and they keep changing the freaking deal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Two things can be true about this Israel Hamas deal, which the tenets of it, as alleged, are there is going to be a prisoner exchange of Hamas demon savage pig terrorists for Israeli innocents who were taken hostages. Hostage is going to be about 100 to 1, it looks like at this point. OK, which I don't think is a great deal. For obvious reasons, there is no ceasefire in the deal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
That's it. And there are no outcomes yet because she's not in office and hasn't voted on anything. Very nice lady. Met her a couple of times. Don't care. I wanted to care about outcomes. But a couple of things about Florida politics that this is a lot of people aren't talking about yet. Hey, I just got back from a holiday trip. You know what? We were prepared.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Permanent ceasefire. I don't know who's telling you that, but that's not true. OK, there is, however, a call to rebuild portions of Gaza, which there's always, of course, the worry that it's going to the money is going to get into Hamas's hands. So two things can be true about this deal. Number one. There's zero question this deal doesn't happen without Donald Trump winning. Zero. I get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I said it on the radio show yesterday. I'll say it again today. I cannot prove a counterfactual. In other words, I can't prove what would have happened if Trump lost because he won and Trump didn't lose. So we don't know. I can say, however, with a reasonable degree of certainty based on what happened afterwards, that this deal does not happen without Donald Trump. OK, this is the two things.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
This is number one. But this is super important. Why would you say that, Dan? Receipts matter because Trump won. Obviously, after he won, I'll play it for you coming up. He made sure that Hamas knew that there would be hell to pay if they did not release the hostages. The same deal had been proposed by Joe Biden forever and nobody moved on anything until Trump won.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
So there's your receipts that there's an overwhelming probability. Number one, the deal doesn't happen without Trump. Number two, folks, this is not the greatest deal in the world. Why is it not a great deal? And I have President Trump coming up today in my radio show at 2.30 p.m. Eastern time. You can check it out on a station finder on Bongino.com.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
If you want to just watch it on Rumble, you can. We'll leave the show live today so you can watch it here at 2.30. I'm going to ask President Trump about the deal. But the second point, I'm sorry, is this is not a great deal. And it's not a great deal not because of President Trump. It's not a great deal because Biden is a narcissist and had to make it about himself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
He was squeezing Israel, making sure the Democrat Party got some credit for a ceasefire deal. And he was making sure basically Hamas got everything they want. We would have gotten a 10 times better deal if they just would have waited. The Israelis. Well, you question in the chat. Many of you should ask, why didn't they wait?
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Because, folks, these foreign countries, Israel, whoever, they have to deal with the Democrats and the Republicans. So I'm sure a deal was cut that Biden wanted some credit. They didn't want to alienate the Democrat Party. I think it was a bad call. That's just my opinion. You're allowed to have your own. Here, you doubt me? I always bring the receipts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
I'm going to give you the most honest take on this deal you're ever going to get, okay? And I don't care who tells you otherwise. This is the truth because we're going to back it up. Here is about a 30-second clip of Biden that sums up this entire debacle yesterday of a deal. Here's Biden bragging about the deal. And I want you to pay attention to a few things.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
First, we're going to focus on three takeaways. I wrote all this down so I don't miss anything for you. He says here... biden that this deal is quote the exact framework he proposed in may i want you to notice he then says exact again he says exact twice to make sure you know he's been proposing this since may now why is this a self-owned cell phone not a cell phone self-owned

The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Because what Biden's telling you here is since May, they've been ignoring him. And then Trump won. And now all of a sudden you have a deal. He doesn't even realize it because he's freaking stupid. Listen to yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Notice the narcissistic, sociopathic piece of garbage Joe Biden is. Joe Biden has to make this crap deal about him. That's what I'm telling the Trump team. Let them take the credit for the crap portion of it because the only reason there is a crap portion of it is because Biden was negotiating for the terrorists. That's why. The exact framework.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Look, she says it again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
He says it twice. He's got to make it about him. It's not about a peace deal. It's not about a peace deal. You understand this? This is about Biden. Biden does not want to leave office without a peace deal, no matter how bad, because he doesn't want to be Jimmy Carter during the Iran deal. I'll talk about that more in a second. Even the left wing media is acknowledging this is a serious problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Now, he goes on to say in the second part of this, about 15 seconds in. Again, he makes it about him first. The second part of this, that thanks to America's support for Israel, they weaken Hamas. Folks, this is bullshit. Here's a CNN article himself. Biden says he'll stop sending bombs and artillery shells to Israel if it launches an invasion of Rafah, which was successful.
The Dan Bongino Show
Biden Is Destroying The Country On His Way Out (Ep. 2402)
Folks, you don't have to support that. It doesn't make you anti-Semitic if you don't support the invasion of Rafah. It doesn't. You're allowed to have an opinion. I'm allowed to have another opinion. That's the great part about this beautiful, flourishing First Amendment constitutional republic. I support the invasion of Rafah.

Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
This is such a loser argument for them, the Democrats, I mean, precision matters, to go to the wall to shut the government down. It's an absolute loser argument for them. Donald Trump has them so discombobulated, another word I hate, but I'll use it here, that they're arguing against now bedrock Democrat collectivist principles. Like, we need the government. What do we do without the government?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
That's why we're asking you to pay 40% of your money to the government. We need it so much, we're willing to shut it down. That argument just doesn't work. As a conservative, you know, you don't want any of these things to kind of shut down. You want it efficient and lean. But it's not against your fundamental ethos that I don't need government in my life.

Yes, you want to hear it? No, you don't. If not, I'll move on to another topic. But this may be my last one. Bottgino? You're up. Batter up.

Listen, I got this really nice note I've been telling you about from Miles at Brickhouse Nutrition. I spoke with him on the phone as I depart the business. And Miles has been great to me. Miles has been, sorry, Miles has been amazing. He's like, speak into the mic. And BrickHouse Nutrition was my first sponsor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I remember, was it, Miles, seven years ago, where I said, hey, man, there's all these fruit and vegetable supplements on the market. And I told them, did I not? I said, Miles, they taste terrible. No one wants to try them because they taste so bad. That's why they put a lot of them in pills. I said, can't you get a fruit and a vegetable and a powder that's good and actually tastes good?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I mean, there's berries and stuff. And Miles figured out. It's called Field of Greens. I feel like I was on this journey with them forever. Also, Lean, I lost after I came down with cancer. I had to lose weight, so I lost 28, 30 pounds. I used Lean. They're two great products. So Miles wanted to thank the audience before we leave, but this is only for this week.

Here is Commerce Secretary Howard Ludnick with one of the best explanations as to why Donald Trump is attempting to reorganize our economy in a more efficient, tax efficient, and productivity efficient manner. I want you to listen to this, because I haven't heard anyone explain it like this. And he just has this reporter basically speechless.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
He says nothing as he just hammers her on the debt problem and the issues we're having. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I have not heard, I got another clip of him coming up in a minute. I haven't heard a better and simpler explanation about why Donald Trump has Elon Musk in the doge looking for efficiencies in government and ways to cut the tidal wave of red ink. Folks, this is very simple. I may not do it as eloquently as Secretary Lutnick just did, but I'm gonna try
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
So I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I'm not messing with you. I do not know what is happening tomorrow. There's a rumor there will be people in the studio. You're going to have to tune in. I'm not teasing it unnecessarily, okay? Guy, I know what he's saying right now. Do you need something from all family? That's what he's saying, right? I get it. I get it.

Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
When the government spends more money than it takes in from taxes, which we've been doing every year for decades, Republicans and Democrats, to be clear. Both parties have been responsible. Where does the money come from? No one ever thinks about this. The money's got to come from somewhere because all the checks cash, right? Have you ever gotten a Social Security check that bounced?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
No, seriously. Outside of some anomaly? Someone claimed fraud or something? No. Well, how is that happening? Clearly, some of you out there are getting money that the government never took in from tax dollars, correct? Because it didn't. Well, the answer is it borrowed it. From who? Well, from you. Or it printed it and digitally created it through the Fed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
We had quantitative easing and all this type of stuff. What's the problem with that, folks? The problem is this tidal wave of debt creates more money, because the money has to come from somewhere. And when you have more money in an economy, interest rates go up. Do you know why that is? It's very simple. This is why Commerce Secretary Lutnick was given the example of interest rates.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
You got to buy a house, you got to buy a car. You want to pay 20% interest rates on these items? Keep spending money we don't have. Because why? Because for the United States to keep borrowing money at the levels we are, the number he mentioned, $30 trillion, $2 trillion this year alone, you have to pay people higher and higher interest rates to take a risk of lending the government money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
It's not hard. There is no such thing as a what? Free lunch. Yes, Producer Jim. He's like, I didn't say anything. I know. I'm in your head. I know what you're thinking. He's a Milton Friedman guy, too. There's no such thing, folks. Any Democrat or any Republican saying, oh, don't worry, just keep loading up on the red ink and the debt, who's going to make us pay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
The answer is, you know who's going to make you pay? This guy. His name is Mr. Jim, do you know? He's like, I have no idea. His name is Mr. Math. Mr. Math. He also goes by Mr. Arithmetic, sometimes Mr. Numbers. The money has to come from somewhere. And once you create it, it's very difficult to uncreate. Now, it's incredible that under the Biden
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Obama, and listen, we've had a lot of spending in the Trump year or two. We had the COVID stuff. What's incredible is that Donald Trump in just, we have what, 53 days, 54, plus or minus a day or two into the Trump term, the second Trump presidential term. that now inflation, which candidly could be five, six, seven percent, is actually coming down and is 2.8.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
It's amazing that in only 50 days, President Trump and his team, Secretary Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Besant, Energy Secretary Wright and others, that they've already managed to at least get a little bit of a lid on the inflation crisis despite the tidal wave of red ink is incredible. It's so incredible. Even CNN is like, well, you know, this inflation reduction stuff.

Listen, I get I have a lot of critics out there. Jim, they just discovered this thing I have now called what? Yes, a job. They just discovered it. And Jim, we're going to take a break in a second for this thing called what? Yes, and they just discovered this. I can't say this enough. Don't ever accuse me of partisan bias on the economy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I told you Republicans and Democrats have added to the debt and deficit. Did I not? Period. I have been very clear on this. The reason I play CNN polling a lot is I don't want you accusing me of making the numbers up. CNN clearly has an ideological agenda, which isn't mine. And they're even telling you, here are the numbers on inflation. They're coming down since President Trump got in office.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I'm going to explain to you why in a second. And it has a lot to do with what Secretary Luttnick just said. about the printing of money and the chasing of goods. There's something Donald Trump and his team have done that is causing it to kind of level out. It could spike again, but causing it to level out. Receipts matter. I'll explain in a minute.

Hey, I was reading recently hearing loss can be directly correlated with dementia. You should look that up. It's a very disturbing trend. Are you paying thousands of dollars for having hearing aids that don't even work well? MD Hearing makes high-quality, easy-to-use, rechargeable hearing aids that cost a fraction of what typical hearing aids cost. My father actually used them.

It's crucial to consider a safer, less lethal alternative to avoid many of the complications associated with traditional firearms. Berner's less than lethal pistol launcher can be equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammunition designed to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes, minimizing the risk of permanent harm. Berner's real life customer, Adam,
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
He recounts that he was headed to work one night, and a road-raging driver swerved in front of him, stopped, and aggressively got out of the car approaching him. Remaining calm, Adam dialed 911 and armed himself with his Bernal launcher. Aiming the laser at the aggressor's chest immediately de-escalated the situation. The driver returned to his vehicle and awaited the police.

But why is it coming down in just 50-plus days of the Trump administration? There are a lot of reasons, but I'm gonna give you two that I think are the most important.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Our Energy Secretary, who's excellent, Secretary Wright, has committed, in conjunction with Donald Trump and his team, President Trump, to a full, I don't know any other way to say it, drill baby drill agenda. If we have gas and petro products underneath the ground somewhere, it is our goal to get them cheaply into your gas tank, into your factory so that you can run your business.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Now, why does that matter? Because, folks, there's a futures market for these products. In other words, people will bid on the future price of oil and gas. There's a huge speculative market. I know that has a negative connotation, speculation, but that's what people do. It's a free country. You can invest in futures contracts all you want.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Futures contracts are gonna start to come down dramatically as Energy Secretary Wright and President Trump start opening up land for more development. And why does that have to do with inflation? Well, it's fairly obvious. A huge chunk of your expenses are home heating bills, gasoline prices, oil and gas for your heater in your house. But think about for the business world.

Folks, these factories don't run on good intentions, They run on oil and gas and petro products. It's energy that goes into this. You want to build a manufacturing base? We need energy. It's a huge input cost. So if you can control an input cost, your output cost, in other words, the forward-facing price of the product you deal with, is going to be less.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
That's why the inflation number is starting to ebb, even though we are dealing with a massive hangover of a $30 trillion debt and $2 trillion from last year. Second thing. Donald Trump's tax cuts through the extension of his 2017 tax cuts, which have now, the process has at least started through reconciliation. Republicans collectively said we want this and started the process.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
There's a futures market as well. Not technically, but it's called the stock market. The stock market is the net present value today of the future profits of a company. I don't want to bore anyone to death. When you invest in a stock that, say, 10x the money the company makes, why would you invest in a stock that the company says it's more than they actually make?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
The answer is because you're not investing in what they make today. You're investing in the net present value of their future profit stream. So if you think tax cuts are coming and production is going to be juiced, then people are investing in the stock market, anticipating more products out there are going to suck up a lot more of this money and therefore inflation. Whew. That was a lot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Here's the second part of that interview. Secretary Howard Ludnick, talking about how Donald Trump doesn't want personal income taxes. He's not talking about consumption taxes, because that's basically what tariffs would be. But income taxes, I don't know if he's talking about capital gains, too, but Donald Trump's goal is no taxes for people who make less than $150,000 a year.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Do you have any idea the impact on the economy if you basically took home, outside of state and local taxes and property taxes, your entire paycheck? You have any idea how much juice to the economy that would be?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Put aside all the nonsense partisan talking points because we do only receipts here. That's all I care about. I'm not interested in talking points. Ladies and gentlemen, if you make $150,000, say $100,000. We'll just use a rounder number there. You make $100,000 a year. That's state and local taxes. Obviously, Donald, President Trump, he can influence that, but he can't legislate on that, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Or he's not the executive over that. The governors are. Take out 10% on average, so you figure you take home 90% of your paycheck, no federal income taxes, nothing else. Do you have any idea how much money would flow into the economy? So now, say, I can throw out round numbers, you're making three, 400 extra dollars a paycheck, weekly or biweekly, right? Three, 400 extra dollars a paycheck.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
What are you gonna do with it? The answer is it doesn't matter. Whatever you do with it, the economy gets juiced. Well, Dan, if I don't spend it, the economy doesn't get juiced. I didn't buy anything. That is incorrect, sir. I know you're not saying that, my P1s, because you're smart. What do you do with the money? Well, I would put it in the bank and it's not doing anything. No!
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
The bank is taking that money and lending it to a business. And the more money that flushes around in the economy, interest rates then come down. The money becomes cheaper because there's more money. It's like anything else. You run out of bagels, they become expensive. You have a lot of bagels, they become really cheap. Supply-demand, it's not hard.

Market-clearing price is the intersection of those two points on a graph. You get a ton of money flushing into banks now and the financial system. Loans get cheaper. People can buy more cars cheaper. People can buy more homes. Businesses can buy more factory equipment. There is no scenario here by which the economy loses. None. But Dan, what if they spend the money?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Great, and maybe they buy another car. So then the car dealer has to replace the car you just bought. So then they have to get more steel and glass and rubber for the tires and brake pads. Then they gotta hire another salesman and everybody gets a job. But Dan, the government would be starved of money. Okay, show me evidence. Anyone in the chat? Show me evidence of that. No, show me evidence.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Show me a Republican tax cut of the last 40 years that has, quote, cost the government money. I'll wait. OK, you can't. Now, for the liberals in the chat who say, clearly, you're lying. I heard in school from my liberal professor, Samuel Gee, had the same liberal professor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
on the quad, smoking a bowl, and Samuel told him, the Reagan tax cuts eviscerated the benevolent government and stole money from the government. It's actually the government's money, it's not yours. I say, really?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Do me a favor, go to Statista, that website, it's a statistics website, and pull up US federal government revenue by year, and show me the Republican tax cut that, quote, cost the government money. Oh, look at that. Look at that. The Reagan tax cuts, government actually brought in more money. Let's go back even farther. Let's go back to Calvin Coolidge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
There are people out there on the other side of the fence. Who was that? He was a president. Look at his tax cuts. Oh, look, the government made more money. Look at the George W. Oh, my gosh. Look at these guys. They're so fast. I didn't even tell them to do that. Here it is on the screen. I saw it pop up. We got fancy monitors. Total receipts of the US government, 2000 to 2029.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Guys, I'm not a math, Michael, you're a math major, correct? That line looks like it's going, What direction? Up? You guys have that upside down? Michael says, I am a math major. I can confirm that is, in fact, up. That's the chart. But I thought liberals told us that the Trump tax cuts, the Bush tax cuts, and the Reagan tax cuts cost us a whole boatload of money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Now, to be clear, that only covers Bush and Donald Trump. But that's not what I see in that handy-dandy chart there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
So, Dan, what you're telling me is if the Trump vision for the economy is implemented, people will have more money, people will sell more cars, barbers will get more haircuts, people will get more jobs, it'll be fewer people on unemployment and social services, so we won't have to spend more tax dollars taking care of people, and that the government may actually raise more revenue because they're taking a slice from an enormous pie?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
So we wrap things up. My Patriot Supply, they've been with us from the beginning. We've always been very selective about our sponsors. I'm gonna miss a lot of you. It's been a great business partnership over 10 years. We appreciate it. The world's unstable, folks. You gotta be ready. At some point, another crisis is gonna hit. That's just a fact. You're gonna be prepared or not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
That's exactly what I'm telling you. Now, if you're going to counter that and say, well, that plan sucks, I'm going to say to you, OK, show me your receipts. Look at that. You know, you don't have them. You know, you don't have them. No, no. We have an example of a great economy. We have the Barack Obama eight years. Really? You do. Maybe you're unaware of this, but you should check this yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Fact check it so you don't think I'm making it up. Do you know Barack Obama is the only president in modern U.S. history In eight years, in eight years, he had two terms in case you forgot, the only president in modern US history to not hit the 3% GDP mark ever in his eight years, 3%. That's not even that hard to do in an economy as powerful as ours.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I strongly encourage you to just, if you're gonna fight back, go right ahead. I respect and love free speech and I love a good argument. All I'm asking for is the receipts. That's it. Is what I'm saying wrong? Is what I'm saying wrong? It's not. And you know it. And by the way, if you're going to throw a curveball at me, someone sent me the nicest email yesterday. It was a woman.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
And if you're out there listening, forgive me, I forget your name. It's not intentional. We're just getting so many nice emails. And she said to me, Dan, What I'm gonna miss most about your show is you always bring the hard receipts and I use them to debate my liberal friends and I never lose an argument. I gotta tell you, I almost started, the tears almost started flowing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
That is the sole purpose of this show from the beginning. That has been the purpose of the show. Folks, opinions are like holes, right? Everybody's got one. Can you back it up or not? And the purpose of this show for 10 years has been to produce data and receipts that you can go and say, I'm sorry, you're entitled to your opinion, which I respect, but your opinion is not a fact.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
It's actually incorrect. You doubt what I'm telling you, show me otherwise. You can't. I'm going to miss that. But I hope you understand that as of Monday, I have a different responsibility to all of the citizens of this great United States. And my partisan hat, like it had in the past during my time in my prior line of work, protecting both Republicans and Democrat presidents.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I hope you all understand that I have to, I know you're killing my vibe. Sheesh. Gee. I'm gonna miss that too. He's the worst timing ever, do you know that? Like having this emotional moment, he's like, Get to the mic. I'm eating the thing. What else you want me to do? Oh, okay. Well, that's a good point.

It's better to have emergency products and not need them than to need them and not have them. That's why I asked MyPatriotSupply one final time to bring back the emergency preparedness bundle so you're ready to handle anything.

The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Well, regardless, what I was saying is that, you know, Monday, I hope you all understand I have to put that all aside. That's what I swore to do. And that oath matters to me. And I know you guys respect that. So thank you. Let me get to my next topic so I don't get too emotional about this stuff. Again, tomorrow's show is going to be a total surprise. It's not a joke. I am not kidding.

I have no idea what these guys have planned on radio or podcast, and I think that's going to be the best part of it. So this happened yesterday. Folks in the chat, one of my final...

You can actually look at the library, but, of course, we always get some smartass in the chat who likes to say dumb stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
No, we don't get a bit with him. Why does Gi, by the way, always capitalize? That happens with me with autocorrect. Is there a reason?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Oh, oh, oh. Yes, yes. Graphic user interface. Good point. Yeah, it does that for me all the time, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
That is not. I know it's not your legal name. I found that out, interestingly enough, when some employment documents. I was like, wow, look at this. But we like it. All right, back to the show. You know how easily I get distracted sometimes. Show's authentic, and I just got so much going on in my head, man. So yesterday, one of the best Donald Trump appointments so far, as the borders are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Can we all agree? If you disagree, let me know in the chat, has been the great Tom Homan. I just wanted to show you this yesterday. Leftist activist. I thought they hated insurrections and taking over government buildings. I thought that was their thing. You know, we're anti-insurrection. We hate the Chewbacca guy. Remember him? Chewbacca almost took over the country. We almost lost everything.

I thought they don't like insurrections. I thought they were the anti-insurrection party. I don't get it. Looks to me very insurrection-y. Here is dark mode Tom Homan. You got to love this guy.

I've known Tom a long time. Amazing guy. an absolute patriot. By the way, another guy who has worked for Democrat and Republican presidents and has done his job the exact same way. They just don't like him because he's working for a Republican president now. Here is dark mode Tom Homan. You guys lifted the dark mode on child separations.

You're not going to find a more powerful voice for a strong border. Folks, the border is not a suggestion. It was never designed to be a suggestion, just like the Constitution is not a suggestion. Do you understand? Most of you, I assume, have traveled. Have any of you traveled overseas? Some have, some haven't. You understand what, you know, Avita and I were having this conversation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I got to tease that, by the way. Don't let me forget. Make sure, don't let me get off the air. Avita and I, you know, Avita and I are friends outside of us working at least for the next few days in the same company. But Evita and I were talking about how one of the exceptions to the search and seizure rules of our Constitution are at the U.S. border.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
When you come back in, say you cross into Mexico and drive back, at the border, they can search your car. They can search your car. If we don't have rules at the border and restrictions on who can come in and come out, you don't even have a country. You have a suggestion of a country. You have what's called a landmass, and that's it. Speaking of which...
The Dan Bongino Show

You know, I'd like to think there's a lot of things I'm good at, a lot of things I'm not good at, a lot. Matter of fact, I wrote a whole book about things I'm not good at. But I'm a really good judge of talent, and I knew we had a star in Evita early on. I knew it. The show has been just incredible for us. Rumble.com slash Evita. I hope you're watching every single day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
She said to me the other day, you know, Dan, can you do my show on Friday, tomorrow? I said, absolutely. So we had a little conversation about it, and the conversation went on forever. And it was just so many interesting, everything from the vaccine, from how we got to where we are, to protests on campus, to the Khalil case, to free speech, to the book, The Natural.
The Dan Bongino Show

And Producer Jim, for the second to last time, I have this thing now called a... job. And what we just heard is called a... ad. You guys are so good at this. So... Teresa, you've been in this business a while. I know it's new. Again, we invented it. We are the first people to ever do it. It's incredible how we did that. Fact checkers! Fact checkers. We're just kidding.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Some of you know where I'm going with that. You're not gonna wanna miss this conversation tomorrow. If there was ever a early edition with Evita at 9 a.m. every day show you wanted to watch, it's tomorrow. It's a really candid conversation, a very emotional one with me and Evita Duffy, rumble.com slash Evita, 9 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow. Always check out Haley.

Haley had 13,000 streamers last night at 6 p.m. The Bongino Army, you guys are amazing. You are so incredibly loyal. Thank you so much. And then Vince, sitting right out there actually, starting next week at 10 a.m. His first interview, Tucker Carlson. And believe me, that's not it.

Folks, this is my last show like this. Tomorrow, I don't really know what's ahead. These guys have taken over the show for tomorrow, and I appreciate that.

Use code Bongino for 47% of your first order. Someone asked me this morning, they said, brother, how does it feel? And I said, Michael, I need your take on this one because Michael's like a very kind of sober analyst. He's a math guy. So I want to make sure this doesn't sound goofy. It feels like going to a funeral for someone who's 107. Like the people who are getting Social Security?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I want to thank also Evita, Haley, and Vince. Vince is in the studio again today. He will be taking over 10 a.m. on Monday with a huge show. His first guest, Tucker Carlson. He's got another, basically not another, but a couple. He's got a really sick lineup, if I can use that word next week. And I don't mean sick like ill. I mean, you are going to be impressed. So 10 a.m.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
right here on the Rumble channel. And Haley and Evita blew it up yesterday. Live search app had them as the 30, was it top 50 overall and number 14 in news yesterday. So you guys are great. We really appreciate it. Thanks for everything. All right, let's get to the news. I thought government shutdowns were terrible. That's what we were told by the Democrats. What did they tell us, folks?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
If government, quote, shuts down, which it really doesn't shut down, if it shuts down for five minutes, anyone know what's going to happen? Grandma's definitely dead. Grandma's going to die, and she's not going to be 106 either. She could be 60. But without government, they're definitely dead. Puppies, kittens as well, maybe your goldfish. They're all dead. Everyone's going to die.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
People are going to be pushed off cliffs into meat grinders, wood chippers, and everything else. If government shuts down, which it doesn't really shut down, it is the apocalypse. It is the instant apocalypse. Nothing will happen and life will come to a halt, which is weird because government shut down before and none of that stuff has actually happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
But the Democrats have told us, you shut down government, the time will stop. So here is prominent Republican conservative senator. He tells me this guy has now officially changed parties. I didn't get the news flash, did you? Prominent conservative Palestinian, too, which I was unaware of. Reiki? Chuck Schumer? Yeah, Palestinian as well. I did not know this. They have this on here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
But here is prominent. This guy's a House Freedom Caucus guy, kind of guy, just on the Senate side. Chuck Schumer telling us how the government shutdowns are now a good thing again, how we should shut government down. So I didn't know this guy converted. This is incredible. Baptism by fire. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Notice how he, obviously we're kidding, this is one of the most liberal Democrats in the Senate, but you almost have to, you don't have to like it, which I certainly don't, but you almost have to respect the grift going on here. How he says Republicans don't have the votes to stop cloture. What he's saying in a backwards, did you guys catch that when you listened to it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
He doesn't wanna state the obvious, which is the Democrats are withholding the votes to pass the bill, so he's blaming it on Republicans. Did you guys get that? The Democrats have a magical, almost magical power, and I don't mean in a qualitatively good way, to use language in a way that makes you to believe the opposite of what's happening is actually happening. You see what he did there?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
He could just state the obvious, we're not voting for this and the government's gonna shut down. He doesn't say that. Republicans have not successfully acquired enough of the spreadsheet type transactional vote numbers in order to invoke the, because he doesn't want to say the obvious, we're shutting the government down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I thought we weren't shutting, I thought the government shut down was terrible. People are all gonna, you went through the whole litany of horribles. You ever hear the term parade of horribles? Everyone's gonna die if the government shuts down. So now the Democrats who told us we need government, You need government in every aspect of your life. Every aspect of your life.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
You can't hit a baseball without government. Now all of a sudden the Democrats are the shut the government down party? Once you learn to dissect political euphemisms, you can never go back. How he handled that is why I played that clip. Notice the language he uses. He doesn't want to state the obvious. So what's the solution to that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Like some of the people getting, that would be 157, but that's actually very funny. Unfortunately, it's costing us a ton of money, but it does. It's like, you're sad you lost this amazing person, but at the same time, you're like, 107? Theresa, am I right? You're like, you won. The game of life, you have successfully won. If you made it 107 years, give us a thumbs up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Folks, the solution to that is for you all to get out the message out there that it's not the Republicans who shut this thing down. Whether we agree with the spending levels or not, I don't. I've been fairly candid about that. But we didn't have the votes. We will through reconciliation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
They, the Democrats, are the ones not voting to keep the government open, therefore voting to shut it down by simple logic. Here's Chuck Schumer again. Again, misdirection is how they do everything. I want you to notice again how they use euphemisms and word games to try to play games with things that are actual facts. Three plus three equals six.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
There's no way to word game your way out of that, okay? Here he is talking about Elon and Social Security fraud. So Elon Musk and the Doge found out before you hear this clip so you understand, that there's a lot of fraud in Social Security, but here's how it's working. There are people calling Social Security offices and changing, over the phone, routing numbers.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
So if Gisei gets Social Security, Michael calls and says, hey, flip it over to my account. without Guy's authorization. Elon and his team found that this is a real problem and are fixing the phone system. Listen to the way Schumer characterizes this and says, oh, you know, we don't have evidence of all this fraud. Really? I'll show you the receipts coming up after that. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
It's a lie, folks. It's a lie. He made it up. It's a lie. No fraud in Social Security. Except if you go back to this Office of Inspector General report from August 19, 2024, which says what? Yes, Justin, you're correct. He's like, I didn't say anything. I know. Which says there is, shockingly, fraud in Social Security. They found nearly $72 improperly paid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
That doesn't say $72, it says 72 billion dollars. That's a lot of money. Do me a favor, Justin. Look up the entire state budget of say North Dakota. Tell me what it is. So let me read this Inspector General report. Inspector General reports, this is by the way 2024, August of 2024. Nearly $72 billion is improperly paid. Recommended improvements go unimplemented.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Through several audits, Social Security Administration Inspector General made dozens of recommendations to prevent improper payments before they occur. also to correct existing improper payments. However, to date, many of those recommendations remain unimplemented, leading to continued improper payments. 72 billion, billion, this is not an Austin Powers moment.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
Gee says 19 points, so round up, 20 billion. So you're talking about over 3x the budget of an entire state in this great United States of America. That's the fraud in the system. Three times the entire state budget. Sounds to me like kind of a BFD, big deal. You see, folks, there's a problem with this outside of the obvious, nobody likes fraud.
The Dan Bongino Show

You see Teresa in the studio today, the lovely Teresa from Westwood One, the Grand Dame of Westwood One. We call her the Bongino Levin Whisperer. She's very good at that kind of stuff. You won at life. So the funeral is kind of sad, but at the same time it isn't. That's how I feel. I feel like you and I built this thing together.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
The problem with this is you have people who paid into the system. What do you mean? I mean like their entire adult lives accurately paid into the system. I almost slipped and said literally, but I just said it. I hate that word. I only got two more days to tell you how much I hate that word. I'm going to fit it in. I lost the chat here. I want to see you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
I got to turn off the Wi-Fi sometimes. There we go. Now you're back. Folks, there's a problem with this. I always use the example of, say, the parking spots for people who have physical disabilities, right? Someone pulls in there who is not disabled and has no problem, and someone who comes in who may, say, be in a wheelchair or has to move with a cane doesn't get that spot. It is not cost-free.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
When $72 billion is stolen from taxpayers, put their money into this system, anticipating a government annuity-based system, typically it's not, it's a PAYGO system, but whatever, and it's stolen, that's no money for you. You have to ask yourself a very serious question right now. Why is Chuck Schumer ignoring this nonpartisan Office of Inspector General report? because of what I told you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
There are Democrats up on the Hill who just don't care about fraud because they feel like this. You ready? Tattoo this on your brain. Once you find out how much government fraud and public corruption is going on within federal government enterprises like the Social Security Administration, they're afraid you'll never trust government again. That's why they're hiding this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Bitter Dems Move To Shutdown Government (Ep. 2441)
You want to get paid and get your paid into Social Security benefits, you should be the first one screaming about this. Folks, the Democrats used to pretend to care about waste, fraud, and abuse.

When you think enough is enough, it's time for more. When you said I've had enough more, it's time for more. When you hit more, it's time for more. When it's more, you hit more wrist. But Dan, that's not a word.

The Dan Bongino Show

Someone went out and bought a Rock'em Sock'em Robots and did the same thing, put the Trump face on it. And they said, can you send this picture to Dan Bongino? So that friend, I got the picture, pretty funny. One quick thing before this break, I want to play this too. This is, again, why we keep winning and we are the media now. Trump has hired the freaking Avengers. He's hired the X-Men.

You know, I'm sitting there, I'm watching the Auburn basketball game, and once a month or so, I will just destroy myself with a cheat meal. I ate an entire pizza, no cheese. I'm grossly lactose intolerant by myself. Why the hell am I telling you that? Because honestly, I didn't feel bad about it.

Use code Dan. All right, back to the show. Folks, I got a little emotional on the air. Didn't have to turn in my man card. There were no tears involved, but there could have been once in a while. Eyes get a little moist. Yesterday was a big day for me. You know, we've been involved in this free speech fight for a long time at Rumble. And the CEO of Rumble, you know him. He is a hero of mine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
He really is. His name is Chris Pavlovsky. He's not a big media guy. He doesn't go out and do a ton of media appearances or anything like that. He's a quiet, unassuming, behind the scenes guy. But when you look up what Rumble did in countries overseas, when they said to Rumble, I demand you censor this guy. You know what Chris said? Not on our, we're pulling out of your entire country.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
You're pulling out of an entire country to defend one creator. And you know what Chris said? We are. Because if we're going to stand for free speech, that one creator is every creator. I want you to understand who this guy is. He doesn't go out and shout from the rafters how great he is. He doesn't pound the table all the time. And he's a guy who frequently gets overlooked.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
And I'm telling you this for a freaking fact that I'm an investor in his company has nothing to do with it at all. This guy is a hero to free speech. Who cares, Dan, why are you bringing this up today? Because the Trump White House is loyal and they are loyal to people who stood with them. When Donald Trump was deplatformed everywhere because of fake bullshit charges, they wiped him out, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Twitter, Facebook, everywhere. It was one person who stood with him and got massive pressure. And that was Chris at Rumble. And this happened yesterday. You see the White House, a new media seat. There's a man, Chris, walking in. He got to ask the first question yesterday, which was, of course, about censorship. And Caroline Leavitt knocked it out of park. Play that again. Look at it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Give me a little still there. Look at that guy. He's a good man, folks. Do me a favor. Go find him on X, True Social. Chris Pavlovsky from Rumble, and I give him a follow. Good for you, Chris. He doesn't go bragging about what he did, but I want you to remember that. When everybody censored Donald Trump, that guy right there said, not on my watch.

You're going to speak on our channel, and we're going to stand by you. God bless you, brother. I want you to remember something. Donald Trump does something no politician I've ever seen. I'm not telling you he doesn't exist. I'm talking globally, by the way. He may. I just don't know him or her. No politician I know has ever done what Donald Trump does, which is ask a very simple question.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Hey, why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? I ran into a guy a long time ago when I was running for office. He was a he was a county executive in Howard County. This guy, Chuck, nice guy. I think he passed. But he told me something once it was very powerful about government. He said, don't ever forget with government that there's no power in. Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
If you tell people, yes, they have no reason to bribe you. You get the point. You want to tell people no, that way they come to the table with campaign funds to basically bribe you to getting to yes. Government will always grow because there's no power in telling people yes. You want to tell people no. So the government grows and bureaucracies grow because there's power in it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Donald Trump is the first guy in eons, the first guy in a long time, to say to people, wait, why the hell are we doing this? I could give you 100 examples. Gaza, the Abraham Accords, moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Remember with the Abraham Accords? They told him, you can't get any peace deal in the Middle East, any kind of economic accords between these two countries.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
You can't solve the Palestinian issue. He said, I'm just going to try anyway. And it was crazy. He actually did it. This is important because he's doing it again. And he's doing it through his deputies in the cabinet, one of them being our now excellent defense secretary, Secretary Pete Hegseth. Pete's overseas right now. And Pete is shaken up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
And I mean, if there's an apple cart, this guy's tossing it over. He's like, hey, NATO, which is, of course, is our alliance with other countries designed to defend against the prior Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
He's saying with NATO, I think it's grossly unfair that the United States is paying all of this money to defend you guys when you guys are the ones at risk from a Russian invasion like Ukraine and you're not paying as much yourself. You're looking at that. Makes sense. No one said it before Trump. Here's Pete saying, you know what? Two percent of GDP for defense. That's not enough. We want five.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
You're damn right we do. And the world is losing their minds. I'll show you what I mean coming up next, but check this out first.

Let's just start right off the bat, right out of the gate, like those little dog races they have down here in Florida. Boom, chasing a rabbit. Let's go with some FOing right away. Here is our amazing Attorney General.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
To all the people who lost their minds over this, again, in the quote from Axios, hyperventilating media, oh my gosh, this is crazy. We're not defending NATO. NATO's not defending NATO. What are you talking about? The United States is not the world's policeman on the corner. We're not. I'm sorry. There's a whole rest of the globe out there that's very wealthy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
God bless Secretary Hegseth and Donald Trump. Notice what they're going towards here, what Pete just alluded to. The United States is focused on defending the United States, quote, not primarily focused on Europe. Why is this a surprise to Europe? We may help you, we may not, but we're not your military. We're the United States military. It doesn't mean you're the enemy. Why did I play that cut?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
I read something in the Wall Street Journal the other day. Folks, please stop what you're doing and pay attention to this. Because if you are one of those old school Republicans, you're welcome here, by the way. We have a lot of different diverse views. But if you're one of those old national security hawk Republicans, that's fine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
We're saying we need to support NATO even if NATO doesn't support themselves. Did you read this op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that should have been on the front page of every newspaper? Because it shook me to my soul that this guy would have the balls to write this. Here's Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a very influential international diplomat, NATO, Denmark, everything, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
He writes this article called The World's Policeman, referring to us, goes rogue. So I see this headline. I'm like, really? Listen to this shit. He's talking about the European Union. He's like, we must build a coalition of willing European countries that are prepared to provide a robust European defense. Okay, wow, great. Look at that. We should strengthen the European Union security dimension.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Madam Pam Bondi, Madam Attorney General, she had a couple of words for Twinkies and Letitia James up in New York who have used their power indiscriminately to weaponize government and target their political opponents. This is not going well for them. This is not going well. And it's just begun. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
move to majority voting to prevent pro-Russia members from vetoing security measures, and sign a security agreement between the EU and UK as soon as possible to protect ourselves and our shared critical infrastructure. You're probably like, wow, Dan, that sounds great. You know who he's talking about defending himself against? Us. The world's policeman goes rogue. He's referring to us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Now, you're probably thinking in the chat, so Russia invades Ukraine, NATO does very little, not all, but a lot of countries did nothing to defend actual NATO. Donald Trump's like, I need NATO to defend NATO, and the NATO countries in the EU, you're like, now we need to defend against the United States? You're like, what is, what, am I in, is this like crazy pills territory?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Read the whole piece if you think I'm crazy and I'm in any way misreading this. Anders Fogg asked me, he said, hey man, you're toying with the wrong people. This is the biggest MAGA show out there. What goes here goes right through, ripples through the MAGA sphere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
You don't want to defend yourselves when the Russians invade, but now you want to defend yourself and quote, build up security measures because you're worried about defending yourself against the rogue United States. Is this even real? Oh, boy. You see how that apple cart boom and everybody's losing their mind? Here's a simple solution, Anders.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
If you want us to be a critical part of NATO and spend trillions of dollars defending you guys, then maybe you should spend the same amount of money, at least as a percentage of GDP, defending yourself. Just an idea, bro. Thank you. We should incorporate the left-wing euphemisms here. You need to pay your fair share. Definitely need to pay your fair share. I like that. That's creative.
The Dan Bongino Show

They're actually starting to convince me Rogue One's a good movie, which I never thought I'd say, but I tell you, they may not be wrong. I got a couple of breaks here. I got to take just quickly here. Last break. But I want to get to this next. Folks, we're living in a post-truth world. That's why spreadsheets Donald Trump hurts them. What spreadsheets Donald Trump?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Donald Trump asks questions all the time, like he does about NATO, Gaza, the Abraham Accords. Why are we doing this? It doesn't work. That may sound simple to you. It's not. Politicians and media people are not used to that. That's why we're in this post-truth world. And I'll show you what I mean coming up in a minute with this Adam Schiff segment that is so hard to believe.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
It's hard to believe this segment actually happened. Folks, it's said that four companies control over 80% of the meat industry. Reports say China now controls the largest portion of U.S. pork. These companies are using tactics to crush American family farms with the additives they're putting into their food, and Americans are stuck with sketchy meat. So what can we do about it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Here's a company that comes out swinging on behalf of American family farms and food security. Moink, M-O-I-N-K. They sent me a good sample of their meats. Absolutely incredible. We fell in love right away. Said, come on board, guys. We'd love to have you. Moist Meat comes from Animals Race Outdoors. They deliver meat straight to your doorsteps at prices you can actually afford.

So the Democrats thought it would be a good idea to weaponize the mechanics of government, the state, federal, and local level to target Donald Trump. Now, the Attorney General, thankfully, isn't doing that. The Attorney General is just enforcing the law. The Democrats, of course, will say this is weaponizing government as they FO, and believe me, they're FOing. But we have rules. We have rules.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Thank you. Thank you. The point I was trying to get at yesterday is you would think even Democrats that profit from big government would be interested in weeding out fraud. Is this point making sense, Justin? Because it's more money for them. So people are asking me, well, why don't they care about the fraud? Because, folks, all they care about is control of the money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
We have a border. That border says you can't enter this country unless you go through that port of entry. If you break those rules, you are here. What? Chatsters, illegally, yes, you are an alien to the country who is here illegally making you an illegal alien. If you harbor those illegal aliens or do anything to obstruct justice, you may have some civil or potentially criminal liability.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
The government has to control your money no matter what. And they know they can't do it because the government can't even paint the color by numbers book. So they understand that if the fraud starts getting pointed out, it's over. Can you go to the LexisNexis guy first before Mike Lee? I want to get to that. I want you to show you what I mean here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
This LexisNexis CEO was up on Capitol Hill yesterday and shocked the entire world. They asked him, how much fraud do you think is in government payments? Dead people, double payments, companies that don't exist. Folks, the number he gives is staggering. The Democrats don't want you to see this because then you're going to say, why am I letting government control money?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
They can't figure this thing out. That's why. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
You see how the left doesn't like that? The difference is they target us for fake crimes that don't exist, like fictitious Trump bank fraud cases where there's no actual victim and the bank wants to do more business with Trump. And yet we target them for actual crimes they commit where they break the law and they get really upset. We'll weaponize government. The FOing continued.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Did he just say $1 trillion? Our entire tax base is about $4 trillion. We spend about six, seven trillion. You're telling me our tax pay me five billion, a trillion, excuse me. This is how big the numbers are. You're telling me about 20% of the government are totally completely fraudulent payments.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
They will defend this because the minute you start to see how bad the problem is, you're going to fire the bookkeeper, which is the government. And they don't want that. So they'd rather get paid a little less and keep the corrupt bookkeeper than get paid a little more and expose you. The bookkeeper's corrupt. Does that make sense?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
I want to get to this, too, because this is just again, just stunning how the Democrats have just married themselves to this post post-truth world of lies and corruption. And they think nobody's going to see through it. Senator Mike Lee, great senator, one of the best, maybe the best. Senator Mike Lee's up on Capitol Hill, not an overly emotional guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
And Senator Lee yesterday was talking about, hey, when Kash Patel gets in there, we're going to damn well need some accountability at the FBI too. We got the Moms for Liberty, the targeting of MAGA people, the January 6th stuff, everything that went on in the FBI has become a real problem and put a bruise on the FBI's eyeballs, right? It's time to clean this place up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
So Mike Lee is talking here specifically about getting rid of agents where they can find they acted either corruptly or outside of their duties or responsibilities. He's not talking about political retribution at all. Listen to what he says and watch the crazy response from Senator Mark Warner from Virginia. Because they don't want you looking into corruption, no matter what.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
So they try to distract you with shiny red object stuff. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Amen, Brother Mike. You see how Mark Warner, who's not a stupid guy, Democrat hack senator from Virginia, has to distract you from the argument in their Truman Show post-truth world? Mike Lee is talking about evidence of hardcore corruption within the FBI. And what does he talk about? Well, the people who protect us. That's not at all what he said at all. Contrast that with spreadsheets Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
I got way too much FOing. Thank you, Madam Attorney General. We appreciate it. Right out of the chute, getting started. It's not going to stop the FOing. Boulder's running down the hill right now. Wall Street Journal judge lifts the freeze on Trump's buyout plan for federal workers. Judge Bongino is right again. What did I tell you?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
They did something wrong. Why do they still work here? Got to go. See ya. But people are going to say you're throwing grandma off a cliff. I really don't care. We live in a truth realpolitik world. Folks, I told you too, I'm going to end today as I started. This is important. Don't panic over the legal warfare. I wish we didn't have a politicized justice system and judicial court system.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Trump's cleaning it up. It's going to take a long time. We're going to have to appoint a lot of constitutionalist judges, but it's not going to get fixed overnight. But we're not going to lose them all. Matter of fact, Trump is acting very surgically, testing the parameters of power to see what the left will sue about or not, and sometimes just going right down the middle of the field.
The Dan Bongino Show

We are never, not this Bongino army and not this MAGA army, we are never going to hyperventilate like the media. The left sues, we're not going to sit here and melt down and freak out. We're not going to do any of that. I told you what was going to happen. We were going to win a lot of them. And this is just two. Turns out we can start to limit the spending of federal funds.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Oh, look, now he's got the courts behind him, too. Yes, you can fire some workers. We're not going to win them all. It's not the way it works in a republic. But we're going to win a lot. And a lot, when we're talking about this amount of fraud, is big change. Thank you to competition in the chat. He says, this hour goes by too fast. Thank you, Dan, for truth and receipts.

I just told you the other day, don't lose your marbles over these legal cases. The left sues about everything all the time. It's why they love to stack the bench with liberal judges. Happens all the time. I told you we're going to win some and we're going to lose some. But the bottom line is it's asymmetric warfare and asymmetric benefiting us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
For liberals, that means a lack of symmetry, meaning one side is greater than the other. Why? Because the federal government is doing federal government stuff, which they're paid to do. President Trump is paid as the commander in chief and the chief of the executive branch to execute. That's what he's doing. You're paying him. It's no sweat off his back.

The left-wing organizations suing in every courtroom in America are wasting time and money. Even if they win two out of every hundred cases, we won 98. And Donald Trump is going to be more powerful in the end and be able to finally execute the role of the chief executive. I get it, folks. The left pisses a lot of people off with their legal warfare. But there is an upside to it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
There is an upside to it. They are going to lose a significant number of these cases, and they're going to be iced out from pursuing that same legal avenue again. They're wasting a lot of time, folks. Here it is again, too. What is two thumbs that doesn't waste your time? This guy! Wait, sorry. What has no thumbs and always waste your time?
The Dan Bongino Show

It's like Trump is in, like, dog years, don't you? Right, folks? Am I crazy? Folks in the chat, yes or no? Botchino on the case, yes or no? Trump's operating in political dog years, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
He does so much so fast. He does something a week ago. It feels like seven years ago, right? Big shout out there to Fegazi in the chat, the infamous 8-8 guy. And they lowered flags to half-mast. Nobody's really talking about it. Because we're not crazy like you, bro. That's why. Trump is operating in political dog years. The Gaza thing was like a week and a half ago.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
It feels like it was 10 years ago. What did I tell you guys last week? This is not a self-celebratory moment. I want you to see how the media, when I say things to you like we are the media now and they follow us, some people still go, eh, I don't know. Really? Okay. What was the word I used last week when Trump came out?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
And he said, hey, the United States is going to have a role in Gaza and the whole world flipped out. And I told you the press is overreacting and they're going to look like buffoons. They're hyperventilating and watch. I said, Trump stakes out the maximalist position every single time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
He does it as a debating point because he wants people shaken up and he wants people to fix the problem on their own. And if they can't, big daddy comes in and does it for them. Look at this. Axios, February 13th. I believe that's today, although I could be wrong on the date. It's not Friday the 13th. It's Thursday. Masculine maximalism. I'm not telling you like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
We didn't make up the word, but it kind of sounds like something we said a week ago. Let me keep this up for a second. Did we not have this conversation, fellas? Yes, we did. They say Trump and Musk believe powerfully in maximalist action language. That was like the show we did a week and a half ago, right? I mean, using the exact word and stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
But notice how typical left-wingers at Axios, notice how they have to inject a race angle. For Gaza? Yes. Let me read on. Trump and Musk believe powerfully in maximalist action and language carried out by strong but mostly white men as blunt uncompromising instruments to prove new limits both to power and what's possible. Oh my gosh. Axios, can you just footnote us, please?
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
I made a little guest appearance. She went late today and I was like, they're still here, so might as well come on the show. I am in a mood today. The F-O-ing is just glorious. I got that. And another one of those segments where if you're here on the Dan Bongino Show, you are, again, at least a week ahead of the news cycle.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Can you just at least provide a link to the show? Just as a courtesy, just as a courtesy. You know what I'm saying, bro? This is a courtesy. And then what else did we say last week? Why are we doing this segment? We are the media now. We. We are the media now. Group hug. Group on Gino hug. Everybody in the chat. Here. My phone. Everybody in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
See, I'm watching you guys on my phone right now. Everybody in the chat. Group hug. Sometimes I got to chat go so fast I had to scroll down. I think I missed some stuff. Who said it? John DeSalvo in the chat. We are the media. You're damn right we are. We are the media now. Big ass group hug for everyone. Hug bro. Who just said that? Hug. Pleasing McGroin. I hope you're pleasing it. Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
And then they note in Axios, again, exactly what we said last week, that Trump takes the maximalist position because he plays the media like a fiddle, knowing they will overreact to his maximalist position. Look at this, Axios a week later. Just footnote us guys one time, maybe an end note. Both men like to provoke outrage and outrageous responses.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
That makes Trump and Musk the center of the national conversation. and baits hyperventilating critics into outrageous responses. Anybody know what I call that? The show your theory. Show your what? It's the Dan Bongino show your ass theory. Take a maximalist position you may or may not mean. Watch the media hyperventilate.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Watch more media people watch the hyperventilation and hyperventilate even more so you don't lose your subscribers and satisfy your crazy audience and keep showing your ass to people, which they don't want to see. Media, governments, what would you say? Jordan, Colombia, the Saudis. Oh, Justin's like other governments. That's such a beautiful segue. It's like he knew what was coming next.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
What did I tell you? Donald Trump is not going to occupy Gaza with the military. He's implying that because people in the region don't want to get off their ass and actually fix Gaza, which has been a problem for like 7,000 years. And no one wants to do shit. So Donald Trump comes in and goes, hey, we're going to take over Gaza. Everybody goes. Oh, my gosh. Hands are on fire.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
People are pissing in their diapers. Everybody goes crazy. And then what comes out a couple days later? Look at that. Oh, my gosh. This is insane. Arab states wake up to the fact that Trump means what he says on Gaza. Look at this, Justin. So nuts. Egypt, guys, has actually launched a diplomatic blitz to corral support for an Arab-led initiative to rebuild the Gaza Strip. Show's over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
What's the point of the show? You knew this a week ago. You just heard the... What's the point? What's the point of the show? What's the point of doing a show? What is this? Oh, look how great we... What did I tell you last week? Do you remember the words we used last week? He's trying to get the partners in the region to do something.
The Dan Bongino Show

It's almost like we were in Trump's head because now partners in the region are doing something. It's not blackout today. Today it's just water. I'm too wired up already. I may blackout. I may just teeter over on the desk. I had it this morning, man. Seriously, brothers and sisters, you know, I love you guys, right? It's going to be a lot of stuff happening in the coming weeks. Okay. Hang with me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
I'm never going to steer you wrong. Do not get baited into the hyperventilating, ridiculous sponsors these left-wing media lunatics are. The reason we are the media now is precisely because we don't do that. We make accurate, fact-based predictions about what Trump is gonna do based on what he's done in the past. We describe his strategy, and we are weeks ahead of the game. All right, moving on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
Ladies and gentlemen, What's old is new again. Whereas you and I in this army, MAGA army, Spongino army out there, whereas you and I, we used to have this expression in the Secret Service called lift and shift. You know, something changes at a site, you don't have time to whine about it. Well, the protectee said he was going to go left and he went right. Well, freaking fix it. It doesn't matter.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
You can't get him shot in the head because he took a wrong turn, okay? Lift and shift. The difference with the MAGA crowd is we are very good at adopting to media conspiracy theories and general scumbaggery. We're just good at it. That's why we're the media now. The media is not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Communist Libs Are Causing A “Constitutional Crisis” (Ep. 2422)
The media keeps regurgitating the exact same strategy, and it's the old banging your head on the desk and wondering why your head hurts. OK, they cannot change. It is impossible. I'm going to prove it to you right now. Big, fat, juicy hat tip to the Media Research Center. Kicking ass and taking names. Always. You got to follow them. Newsbusters. Absolutely amazing group over there.

Follow them on X, Facebook and elsewhere. They put together this little one minute compilation. proving to you the media cannot change. They will not change. They will continue to get wrecked because for them, what's old is new. Again, this constitutional crisis thing they're talking about right now with Donald Trump in his first three weeks as the president, you think any of this is new?

For those of you listening on audio only Apple and Spotify, what you're going to hear in the beginning is 2016, 2015, that election cycle. And then you're going to hear later 2020.

Folks, he can speak to it. He chooses not to. He doesn't want you to know this. Do you understand why someone in the chat beat me to the punch on this one? Be quick. Do a little De La Hoya on me or something. Do you know why he won't admit this, even though everybody knows it to be true at this point? It's already been publicly reported. You want to know why?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And it's going to come out later today, too. Because if you find out that there may have been people working with the FBI. Now, don't assume they're all. I'm telling you there were federal agents in the crowd. That's a fact. Everybody got it. So I don't want my words to be misconstrued. There were definitely federal agents in the crowd and probably a lot of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
That's not so much, I think, what they're hiding, okay? There are always counter-surveillance people and stuff in crowds everywhere. That's not even news. Inauguration day, there's going to be feds all over the place in the crowd. They're sitting there working counter-surveillance, looking for stuff. I get it. That's not the scandal here, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
This is what I think a lot of the reporters are missing. What I want to know is where there are FBI assets in the crowd. In other words, people pretending to be, say, the Proud Boys or something else, working for the FBI, who were there specifically to gin up and agitate and provoke violence. That's the question I want answered. And then with federal agents nearby watching the whole thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
That's what I want to know. And that's the question I know some people, Julie's asking and Darren, but a lot of others are missing. That's the reason he won't say it. And by the way, oh, I can't say it enough, right? Always measure the success of something.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
In other words, pushing Christopher Wray out, which Donald Trump did by saying Kash Patel was going to replace him, by the response of your political opponents. Folks, who is the worst deep stater ever on the media side? Deep state Ken Delanian, Fusion Ken, who The Intercept noted is the CIA's like mop-up guy. Ken Delanian at NBC is a mouthpiece for the deep state.

That's H-E-L-I-X, helixsleep.com slash dan for 20% off and two free pillows for all mattress orders. All right, fellas, let's go. So I told you they were always going to turn on each other. You know my cannibalism theory of politics? It's very simple. It's the right doesn't give a shit about the left. We ignore these people and make fun of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
You might as well consider this guy a de facto intelligence officer of the United States. This guy is the mouthpiece. When a deep state wants to say something, they say to him, They are very upset about Christopher Wray stepping aside because they know The Rock's going to get overturned. Listen to Fusion, Ken. And this is how you know replacing him with Kash Patel was a really damn good idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
That may be the single dumbest thing I've ever heard on television. Christopher Wray tried to keep the FBI out of partisan politics. Is that by investigating pro-lifers, Moms for Liberty, MAGA hat wearers, people who say the word based? Is that why inserting feds and fed assets in the crowd on January 6th? Is that hiding the identity of Piper? Bullshit, Ken. Bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
We have a lot of bullshit flags we throw off, and this is a big bullshit flag so heavy I can't even throw it. Now, you know, always measure the effectiveness by the response of your political opponents. When you hear stuff like that, you know the deep state is freaking out. I want to show you a couple more things about Christopher Wray because now that he's walking out the door, I want answers.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And Kash Patel is hopefully going to get them at the FBI. Because we cannot reestablish faith in our FBI if we don't get the answers to these questions. I got them coming up for you next quick break.

Phone companies dispute FBI testimony on the pipe bomb suspect, key lawmaker reveals. The lawmakers, Barry Loudermilk, a really good Republican, a Republican member of the House of Representatives. Long story short, if you're new to the Dan Bongino Show, pipe bomb gets placed at the DNC on January 6th. Kamala Harris is at the DNC. Why? Kamala Harris is at the Capitol. No, she wasn't. She was at.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
She was for a little bit. She was at the DNC. Nobody's explained to this day why. They find a pipe bomb outside. Everybody's buried the story. The FBI is claiming they have video of the pipe bomber talking on a cell phone last night prior. Really? Really? Well, whose cell phone was it? You can triangulate. They said, I don't know. The phone company told us the records were corrupted. Really?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
That's why the mainstream media liberal hack goons are losing their audience and we're not. Because we're right and they're wrong, so we can make fun of them. You can't make fun of someone if you're always wrong and they're always right. Because then you just look like bitter that you're right. You get what I'm saying? We're on the right side of it. So...
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
After Donald Trump won the election, as if on cue, the phone company says, they weren't corrupted. We've got the records. In other words, ladies and gentlemen, you understand they know who this person is and they just don't want to tell you? You understand that, right? Let's hope we get an answer about that. Christopher Wray's not going to give it to you because the guy is a buffoon. That's why.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And he's a phony and a fake and a fraud. And I hope he lives the rest of his life outside of politics because this guy was just really, really bad at this. Here, I want you to watch this. This is Tom Massey, fantastic congressman from Kentucky. He's asking Christopher Wray about this specific thing in the phone records. I want an answer from this. And hopefully Kash Patel is going to get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Who the hell is this guy? The pipe bomber guy. You know who it is. We have the phone records and you're lying about them. Watch this exchange.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Folks, you understand how full of shit this guy is? He keeps falling back on this. We can't comment on ongoing investigation. You have what you're claiming is a major net. You, the FBI deep state, you're saying it. You're telling us this was a massive Chewbacca-led insurrection that almost led to the downfall of the United States. Have you not? You arrested 700 people over it.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
As we ignore these people and they try to cancel us, I told you we were going to tune them out, but because they can't give up canceling each other and making people look stupid, because that's what liberalism is, it's a hierarchy and trying to subjugate people, that they're eventually going to cannibalize and eat each other as they try to seek power and authority in beating up people, politically and otherwise.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
That's how serious you told us this was. You've got a ringleader, a guy who planted a bomb on January 6th. You know who it is. You don't want to tell the nation? Think about it, folks. You knew the identity of all of these people involved in all these other crimes instantly. Put them up. Be on the lookout for. They don't want it. There's no Bolo or anything. Have you thought about that?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
They know the name. They know the name. They have the phone records of the guy on the phone. He's the only one there. It gets even worse. Right after Kamala Harris arrives, some guy walks up and finds the bomb. Finds the bomb and goes over and talks to the cops and Secret Service. There's a bomb there. You would think the FBI would be pretty open. Yeah, we interviewed this person.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
We interviewed the pipe bomber. Listen to Christopher Wray, who, again, cannot answer a simple question. This guy is garbage. He is a lying fraud. He is involved and is knee deep in one of the biggest scandals in American history involving January 6th. Listen to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
I can't believe people fall for this guy's bullshit. Lefties, I'm going to move on to Cash in a second because Cash is asking all the right questions. Cash Patel, who's going to be, who's very likely right now to be his successor at the FBI. Even if you're a lefty, right? And you're really stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
You're one of the liberals listening to this show that has been vaccinated to facts and has a skull 72 inches thick. I'm just asking you a simple question. You told us, right? You told us. Folks in the chat, tell me I'm wrong. Did the left not tell us this is the worst insurrection in human history? Chewbacca was going to be the viceroy of the northeastern territories.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
You get what I'm talking about? Here you see an action. Tell me here, tell me here, this isn't famed neurosurgeon Dr. Jill Biden. one of the legendary medical doctors anywhere on earth, Dr. Jill Biden.

The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
The whole country was going to fall. Worse than Pearl Harbor. Worse than the Civil War. You told us that. We were like, yeah, that seems like just a tad bit of hyperbole there for a riot. That seems like a tad bit hyperbolic. You now have a suspect. You could put a B on the lookout for the MAGA terrorist. Put his picture everywhere. Bolo, B on the lookout for this guy. You know who he is.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And strangely, they won't tell us. Liberals, I know you're dumb, but really, aren't even you with your general lack of aptitude and achievement in life, aren't you saying to yourself right now, you know what, that damn Bajito's not crazy. That is kind of weird.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
I mean, we did tell them MAGA terrorists were going to destroy the country, and now we've got an opportunity to put out a bolo for a MAGA terrorist, and we're not doing that. It's so weird. It's almost like they're hiding something, right? Because they are. Not everything's an inside job. This one is. 100%, not even 99.5%. Wait till cash gets in there.

So we appreciate it. This is his likely successor at the FBI. This is a no bullshit guy. I have personally vouched for the deep state lib accounts. One crazy. They got their asses kicked again online as they all got exposed. I love it. I am sitting at. We have conquered and vanquished so many losers. I tell you, you stick with me. We will always point out the losers and the zeros.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
I told you a bunch of deep state lib accounts were terrified of Kash Patel because they're deep state libs. They're running under anonymous names. They're liberals. They're trying to destroy Kash Patel because Kash Patel is not only going to look into the J6 stuff, the Spygate stuff. the collusion hoax stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Kash Patel is also going to look into what has been going on with a lot of this money we're transferring overseas. Ladies and gentlemen, is some of this being used for corrupt activities? Folks, let me be clear. What's happened to the Ukrainians is an absolute stain on humankind. If Russia would stop fighting, there'd be peace. Ukraine stops fighting, there's no Ukraine, period. However...
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Ukrainians key Ukrainian lawmakers were knee deep in this Russia collusion hoax. There's zero doubt about that. And there's been almost no accountability. That has nothing to do with the war portion. But this does. We're sending a lot of money over there, folks. We're sending money for a war effort. OK, whether you agree with it or not, it's there.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And if it's going to go there, it better damn well fund weapons acquisition and not fund corrupt activities. Ukraine doesn't have the best record here, and it's our responsibility to look into it. Here's another reason the deep state Lib accounts are terrified of Kash Patel. Check this out.

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Hey, I was going to start something totally different yesterday because we had some breaking news on my radio show yesterday. We interviewed this New Jersey congressman who's been all over the news, this guy Jeff Andrew. And this drone UFO UAP story just getting crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Do you see why the deep state accounts and the lib accounts are terrified of this guy? I'm telling you, you're being played. That's why we always win. Because we know exactly who to warn you about. And then they freak out and they panic when we expose them because they continue to get their asses handed to them. They're afraid of this guy. That's why.

Because there's billions of dollars at stake to going like this. Looking the other way. So what do you do? You go anonymously attack him online. Kash Patel secretly got Martian genes in him. He's going to infiltrate the web. And idiots believe it. They're afraid of this guy. This guy's been openly talking about questions you've had forever. You may say to yourself, fairly or not, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
You may say, Failure, that's probably a poor way to say it. But you may say to yourself, I disagree with Ukrainian spending. But even if you do disagree on funding the war in Ukraine, even if you do, can we at least agree if we're going to send our money there, then it should at least be spent on what we say we should spend it on. Buy this weapons system. Not like buy off a politician. Right?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Even if you disagree. Right? This is why they hate this guy. Please, trust me. I've told you. Our batting average is 1,000 here. We have vanquished many a foe on exactly this. Toy with the Bongino Army. You're going to always lose. There's a reason we're the number one live stream. Because we're always on the right side here, man.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
It's because we do our homework, and we obey the Bongino rule, and we don't fall for sucker stuff online. Folks, Pete Hegseth, the war on Pete Hegseth is continuing as well. Pete is another victim of this. Maybe not in a way Cash, but Cash Patel, there's a different attack going on on Cash Patel by deep staters and libs.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
The attack on Pete Hegseth has a lot to do with people who profit off an endless war machine. I'm not throwing out silly talk. Defense industry sucks. Really? Some of the defense industry makes some of the firearms. I have my own house. They don't suck. What does suck is when the defense industry gets an outside... kind of elaborated megaphone-like voice in our foreign policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
We didn't elect the defense industry to do anything. There is a lot of money in the war machine. Pete Exeth is going to ask about these foreign interventions we're engaged in. He's going to ask a critical question. Why are we there? Nobody wants people asking questions. They want the Mark Milley type and whatever who are just like, yeah, okay, whatever, let's do it.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
So, of course, the media is trying to dismantle Pete Hegseth because they're in bed with a lot of these lobbyists and others. And ProPublica, which is basically a left-wing goon site, was trying to attack Pete Hegseth with a false report. Show the tweet if you could. That he was not accepted to West Point in 1999. Really? Really?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Oh, no, no, they're not reading into it. They didn't need to read into it. It read all itself by itself. There was no reading into it necessarily. Someone in the chat just brought up Uncle Brosie. I had totally forgotten about Uncle Brosie and the cannibals eating Uncle Brosie. I forgot that. The Uncle Brosie clip. I just wanted to throw it out there because our batting average, Justin, is what?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
So Pete says, here is my letter of acceptance signed by the West Point superintendent, Lieutenant General Daniel Christman of the U.S. Army.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
So ProPublica, of course, which is going to do extra scrutiny on Pete Hegseth, unlike they would do on any left winger out there, because they seem to focus exclusively on conservative leaning Supreme Court justices and people like Pete Hegseth, got absolutely wrecked. Now, ProPublica is saying, hey, we were doing, I'll give you their side because unlike ProPublica, we try to do actual reporting.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
ProPublica is saying, hey, this is journalism. We heard that Pete Hegseth was lying about West Point. We reached out to West Point. West Point told us on the record he did not apply there. They're saying clearly we were wrong. Therefore, we didn't publish the story. Folks, this is about intent. You know what they were doing. And now the West Point was forced to issue a statement.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
A review of our records indicates Hegseth was offered admission to West Point in 1999, but did not attend. They say it was an incorrect statement from whatever their admissions department or whatever. Folks, I'm sorry, but I just don't believe any of it. I just don't. I'm so tired of the media attack jobs on these people. They fabricated a narrative in their head.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
In real life, it turned out to be false. They were emailing around about this thing. This isn't the kind of scrutiny left wingers get. You know, however much you hate the media, I promise you it is not enough. They will never call out left-wing BS. Here's a perfect example. I want to contrast these two stories. I put that first for a reason.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Here we have a story that's making the news, and ProPublica was trying to advance before they got shut down, about a completely false, ridiculous story. Pete Hegseth did not get accepted to West Point. Absolutely fake and false, okay? Because they're subjecting Pete to scrutiny they never subject the left to. Here's an example of something pro-publica. I'd be very impressed if they did this story.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Here's Bill Clinton on The View yesterday, the other day. Yesterday or the day before, it doesn't matter. Bill Clinton's a guest on The View. He says something on The View patently false, debunked by every serious journalist out there, including unserious journalists like The Washington Post. He's talking about Hillary Clinton and her emails.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Do you see a concerted left-wing effort right now today to attack him like they attack Hegseth? No, you don't. They're going to let the whole thing go because the left wing has said it, because there's two different standards. Actually, there's one standard. We're in charge and you're not. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Do you see the hierarchy system where when you're the left, right, the media, and you're in charge, you don't give a shit about looking like hypocrites. You just protect your own because you're insulating the top from power so they can subjugate people beneath them. Washington Post, Glenn Kessler. I mean, you want to talk about left, even these left-wing lunatics.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Clinton's claims about receiving or sending classified material on a private email system. They had to update the fact check. To a new four Pinocchio rating from two. That's how much bullshit he just said right there. Folks, she did receive classified information. They wiped the markings off some of the documents. Everybody knows that. But because he's a left winger, he's protected.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
1,000 kids, that is correct. I told you they were going to start eating themselves alive. And it's little things like this. Do you think she wasn't taking a shot at Kamala Harris's Ren and Stimpy happy, happy, joy, joy campaign? Happy, happy, joy, joy, joy. You know, we always give Stimson J. Cat a shout-out, but we leave Ren out of it. There's Ren Hork. There you go. Say hello, fellas.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
This is why they are so afraid of AI. You get where I'm going with this? They have a massive, multibillion-dollar international effort going on right now, the left, to stop people like Bill Clinton from getting actually fact-checked while attacking people like Pete Hague said for facts that don't exist.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And what they do is when something comes out they don't like, they just label it misinformation or disinformation as a way to censor it. This is a multibillion-dollar business, censorship for them. Here's Molly Hemingway on Fox describing the hundreds of millions of dollars that went into this in the Biden administration trying to censor people. They never, ever, ever can have you see the truth.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
There's so many different theories. But what's kind of weird about it is it doesn't matter what theory you throw out there. Somebody jumps down your throat and it's like they're invested somehow in another one and they want to kill you for it. I'm going to plow ahead. I'm going to do what I want to do based on the facts, but I got something else in the beginning, and I'm going to get to that.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
They're afraid you'll never vote Democrat again. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Folks, this censorship business is a staple of current liberal left-wing politics. Why would you have to censor people if you felt like the information you were putting out there was factually accurate? Why? I don't understand. Why are you censoring people on the pipe bomber? Why are you censoring people on COVID and masks?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Why are you censoring people on January 6th and how many feds are in the crowd? Why are you censoring people on Bill Clinton? Why are you censoring people on Pete Higgins? Why? They're doing it because they were afraid you were going to see the truth. This is what bothers them about AI. I promised you yesterday a follow-up to this segment. This is fascinating. This is fascinating.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
This is this guy, Mark Andreessen, big tech investor, played a clip from yesterday talking about how if you missed yesterday's clip, you can watch a podcast. But the gist of it was that He was investing in some AI companies, and the government came to him and said, don't put your money in there. We're going to control all the AI anyway. Don't even bother. And he was like, wait, what?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
What do you mean you guys are going to control AI? Here's a follow-up to this, where he's talking about why they need to control AI. Because it's going to be the front-facing filter by which you get your information about everything. The law, cops, healthcare, government, tax policy. And if you can filter information, i.e. prevent people from seeing the truth, you own the world.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Happy, happy, joy, joy, joy. There you go. I'll leave them up until we put this video here. So we had some breaking news on the radio show yesterday. If you missed any of the show... Congressman Jeff Van Drew, this growing UFO, UAP drone scandal in New Jersey. And folks, listen, I get it. Everybody's got an opinion.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
This is a really troubling clip. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
I ended it there for a reason. That's what you needed to hear. That's the takeaway. I hope you tattoo that on your brain. They need to train the AI to lie. And no private company is going to do that without government protection. You know why? Feed it to me in the chat. Come on, let's hear it. Because you'll be sued.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
If you are an AI company and you put out some information on your AI that you've knowingly trained to lie. I'll give you a quick example, an easy one. Some medical procedure. oh, you don't need to see a doctor about this specific condition because it's politically incorrect to do so.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And then that person dies because you've trained it to lie because of some politically incorrect narrative, then you could be sued. However... Just like certain pharma industries get government protections for taking risks on things, this is exactly what they want to do with AI.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
They want to make sure it's under a government umbrella so that they're protected against the lying and the lawsuits later. You get where I'm going with this? There's got to be a filter, an algorithm-like filter that filters out you from accessing the truth about everything from what the rich pay in taxes to what school choice actually does in the states.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Because if you start looking it up and you're an impressionable voter, you'll never vote Democrat again. They can't have that. That's the problem. They need to train it to lie. And it's not easy to do without government interference, without worrying about massive liability problems and everything else. Here's another reason. Just a really simple market reason.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Say there's no government involvement at all. AI is going to tell you the truth. If one AI tells you the truth and another one's run by a bunch of liberals at some company called Scroogle or whatever, no one's going to use the AI that lies because people generally want accurate information.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
They're going to go to the AI from whatever, conservative AI dot whatever, and they're going to say, hey, man, I thought these were both intelligent. How come this one's given a different answer? And people are going to realize they're being lied to. Either way, it blows up the left-wing media symbiote that's engaged in propaganda forever.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
For the listeners out there who seem upset at me for having an opinion on the matter, you're entitled to yours too. I'm not upset at you. This is not symmetric. You're upset at me. I'm not upset at you. If you have a different opinion, it's this. That's fine. That's perfectly okay. However, it's the Dan Bongino show.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Places like Wikipedia will no longer credibly exist with a functioning AI. And it breaks down one of the biggest propaganda operations on the left. Man, I've been warning you about this forever. Our batting average is 1,000. Control of AI is everything in the future. Everything. You will never win an election again without it.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
All right, I want to move on to an important story because I got to tell you, I'm torn on this one. That's why I left it for last. And, you know, listen, I need your help. Your opinions matter to me. I don't claim to have all the answers on everything. And sometimes my opinions, you know, may be wrong. So there's a couple of scandals going on in the Secret Service.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
One of them is a pretty big deal. I'll play it next. It's from the Jesse Waters show. They put it out last night. Jesse's been doing a great job about a lot of these Secret Service issues. I know he's very concerned about it. I've known Jesse a long time. He wants to make sure President Trump and all the protectees stay alive. But this broke the other day as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Susan Crabtree is an excellent reporter. You should follow her on X. She's at Susan Crabtree, common spelling. She has a little scooplet here from the Secret Service. This is an email that went out. I assume it's from a Presidential Protection Division agent because she says so. Looks like a supervisor. It's basically a reply-all email. And you can see the email below.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
She got it, obviously, from a source. There's no disputing it's accurate because the agent who sent it out, the supervisor, has since apologized for the tone of it. And I'm not going to read the whole thing, but here's the gist of it. This sounds like it's what we would call a shift leader. So the president's detail, keep this up if you would, guys. The president's detail has a number of shifts.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Day shift, afternoon shift, training shift, midnight shift, and then other stuff they do. I'm not going to get into all the details. But scheduling people to be on duty 24 hours a day because you never forfeit protection. You don't give the president downtime. He always has protection all the time. It's hard. It's a pain in the ass. I did it as the whip in TS.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And I did the schedule when I was the number one whip on the shift myself. It's a real pain in the ass. So this is why I'm torn on this. I guess what happened is a lot of guys were requesting what they call RDOs. RDOs are short for regular days off. So this manager's pissed. And he says, as a reminder, with respect to the schedule, there's a lot going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
So requesting RDOs next week isn't going to cut it. Between all these things, including temps, trips, and all this stuff, he says unless it's a legit emergency, don't even request anything for the next week out. It's not just for this week. I mean going forward. And he goes into this big, long thing, and he talks about how the ADLs work way too hard. Who are the ADLs? I'll translate for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
That's assistant detail leaders, okay? Those are the guys, the ADLs and the whips, who do the schedule. So he's basically saying you're messing up this ADL's life by having to change the schedule all the time. And then he has to throw some dumbass comment in like, so wanting to have next Tuesday off so you can get your dog groomed. Like, you don't need to write that.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
I'm going to give you my opinion based on what I believe are a series of facts and data points. I believe it is some foreign adversary doing this. If it's not in New Jersey, it's elsewhere. We know about the China spy balloon, fact. We know about... Key sources telling us about China buying land around U.S. military facilities. Fact. What the hell do you think they're doing this for?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And he's basically saying, don't even bother requesting this stuff. This caused a whole big shit show controversy in the Secret Service. Now, I'm kind of torn on this. And again, I don't pretend to know it all. Unpopular opinions, they're opinions too. But I owe you the truth because the show is always going to be authentic.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
When I was on the detail and we didn't have any of these security problems, airspace was secure, nothing happened to protect these on my watch or any time I was over on the detail at all, okay? We had a pretty good group of guys who knew what they were doing, weren't perfect, but, you know, we had a pretty good group of guys. I'm going to be honest with you.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
You don't need to write emails like this. I get that. The tone is definitely, you just don't talk to people like that. However, the gist of the email is pretty much accurate. If you're going to go in the Secret Service and you want to do the protection detail in the Secret Service, then folks, there's really, if you take a day off,
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
If you're requesting a day off, the shift has – I'm just going to throw a number. It's not the real number, I promise you. But let's say the shift around the president has 15 guys on it. There's 15 guys protecting President Biden right now. If someone requests an RDO or an SDO, scheduled day off, that's unplanned, someone else who had a day off has to come in.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
You don't work short ever on the detail. So I get it. The tone is kind of like, eh, I'm just saying like someone gets effed over bad. Someone who had a day off to go to his kid's birthday party. Now it's the cancel to fill in for the other guy. So I get why some of the agents were pissed off. You shouldn't talk to the guys like this. They're busting their asses. And I love you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
But when I was there, this is the way it pretty much went down. I mean, if you, you know, you got a day off and you get called in, it pretty much sucks. I want to play this too. This happened on Jesse Waters' show last night. This is some relatively new information. Apparently there was an engagement with the, remember the golf course incident with Donald Trump?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
They had the potential assassin right there waiting in the woods. And then there's an engagement with the Secret Service. This is some new stuff. Check this out. There's some commentary on the other side.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
They're doing it to surveil the United States in case there's some kind of a world war. So they have an idea of what our critical infrastructure looks like. This isn't hard. You can have whatever theory you want. I'm just telling you Occam's razor. This is something foreign, not something necessarily exotic. And they know there's nothing we're going to do about it. So is it Iran?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Okay, there's a number of takeaways there. I want to focus on a couple. Obviously, we've got to get the marksmanship issue down. Folks, the Secret Service credo, motto about firearms when I was there, and I'm pretty sure still today, is you are responsible for every round.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
The core of that being, if you're going to unleash a round anywhere near the president, then you damn well better hit something, and it better not be one of the good guys. It's easy for me to Monday morning quarterback anything. I'm just saying this is what we do.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And if we've got to up the firearms requiles to weekly instead of monthly, if it's got to be more tactical rather than paper shooting, fine. But we need a director in there. That's why I keep talking about this, who understands this stuff, and we need a premium on shooting. Because I'm telling you, when I was there, a lot of guys skipped their training requirements, and it happened a lot.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
So that may have something to do with this, may not. But second... Folks, how the hell was there no pre-operation surveillance done to detect this guy that he was sitting there all this time? I cannot believe that they went to a golf course. They knew he was going to hours in advance. And nobody went out there and did any pre-op surveillance.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
It's such an act of misfeasance, borderline malfeasance that people should have been fired over it. It's disgraceful. We need a director in there to clean this thing up, man. This is way past the point of like, oh, my bad, someone's going to die if we don't get this done soon. They need to get going on this quick because the people in charge now are folks, they're calcified in their thinking.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
They're never going to change anything because they can't. They need fresh blood in there. It is a train wreck over there.

Is there a ship offshore? I don't know. I tend to think more, lean more towards China. Iran's got its own issues right now. But here was Congressman Van Drew from New Jersey on my show yesterday. And he's sticking by this story. So, you know, check this out and you can make your own decision. Take a listen. So where do we stand with this? Are you getting any answers?
The Dan Bongino Show

Now, MarleyB1947 says in the chat... It's their job to know. Marley B, 1947. Thank you. That's the point. Is it Iran? I don't know. Is it a mothership offshore? I have no idea. My sources haven't told me that at all. I'm basing it on simple evidence that I think it's a foreign actor. Because a foreign actor's done this before. This spy balloon. China. We know the story.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Who's buying land around military facilities? China. What do you think they're buying land for? Because they want to be sharecroppers? They're buying land because they're surveilling the United States in case they got to go to war with us. When in doubt, always pick the explanation that requires you to assume the least, not the most. You're free to have your own opinion on it. Now,
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
You know my rule with the left, right? When the left comes out and has a visceral, immediate reaction, along with their deep state media allies to something, immediate, an immediate reaction to something, what does it tell you? Always, how many times I got to say this? Bongino Army, represent. Fire it up in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Always measure the effectiveness of an appointee, a bill, a message by the ferocity of the response on the other side. Immediately after this, a press conference gets called at the Pentagon. Not after my show. He had said that before. Congressman Van Drew. The Pentagon calls a press conference and there's this question from Catherine Herridge who we know is kind of Not Catherine Herridge.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
I'm sorry. Catherine Herridge, a great reporter. Whatever it is. Griffin. Oh, she's totally in there with the Pentagon people. It's like, this is, to me, just seems like an obvious setup, this whole thing. I want you to listen to them. I mean, feverishly deny this. But they just told us from the White House hours before this, they don't know what they are.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
So they don't know what they are, but they know it's not that. Can someone explain? Now I'm sure it's a foreign adversary. Check this out.

You've got the IG report coming out today, I believe, around somewhere during my radio show on January 6th. So stay tuned to my radio show. Hopefully, we'll get our hands on that one. Let me tell you, I had my Helix mattress for several years now. I noticed how great I'm sleeping throughout the night, how energized I feel in the morning. Energy gives me enough strength. to get through long days.

Folks, I don't understand something. Someone in the chat, please explain this to me. Explain it to me like I'm still wearing diapers. Pretend I'm really stupid for a second, please. The White House. State police in New Jersey, the governor, local mayors, local cops. Nobody has an answer about what this is. No one. All they can tell you is we don't know.

So if you don't know, how can you draw a conclusion that it's not Iran? How do you draw a conclusion that it's not a danger? How? I don't understand if you don't know. Now, you may say, well, they can prove it because we have no evidence that there's an Iranian ship offshore. You don't? Okay, is it coming out of a cargo container shipped from somewhere? I mean, they're drones.

What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Folks, they're bullshitting us. I'm telling you. The batting average on this show is a freaking thousand. If you watch, you know. This is probably a foreign actor. These deep state people in the Pentagon and elsewhere don't want to acknowledge our failure to do anything about basic aerial surveillance to technology because they don't want to look weak.

What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Someone sending us a message before Trump gets into office. This is what we can do to you guys because they're afraid of what happens when Trump gets in there. So they were embarrassing Biden right now. Right. And it's clear that the swamp, the deep state swamp, is desperately trying to explain this away, not by telling you what it is, but by telling you what it isn't.

What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
All right, I spent a lot of time on this yesterday, but this story just seems to be growing legs by the minute. And if we get any updates, you'll hear them on the radio show. But I'm telling you, folks, this is a serious story because if they're lying because their security is inadequate over the airspace, it's a freaking scandal.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
And if they're not lying and they don't know what's flying in the skies, despite multi trillions of dollars of government security assets around the country. then we've got an even bigger problem. Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday was a good day though. The winning continues. More, more, more, more. Just keep it coming. Keep it rolling.

What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Let that more roller coaster keep going up and down and up and down because I am having a grand old time post-election waiting eagerly for Donald Trump to raise his right hand as the victories pile up. What happened yesterday?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Well, what happened yesterday is our disgraced FBI director, Christopher Wray, which, by the way, if this January 6th Inspector General report comes out later on the show, and I'll get to cover it on radio if it comes out today, I don't think it's a coinkydink that this guy announces his resignation yesterday because there may be a lot of dirty little details on him.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Here is Fox reporting on Christopher Wray, disgraced FBI director, now, thankfully, for the sake of the country, resigning. Good, great, good riddance. See you later. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. Check this out.

Helix is the award-winning mattress brand recommended by many, me included, for improving sleep. I've been sleeping better. I had to scrap my old mattress, had it forever, got a new one, got one in every room in my house from Helix. Sleep's never been better. Feel less aches and pains after sleeping on my Helix. I've got pretty horrible arthritis. I bet it will be for you too.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
No, now isn't the time to go. Time for you to go was seconds after you got hired. I mean, this guy's practically worse than Jim Comey. The level of malfeasance and misfeasance we've seen in the FBI since this guy's been in charge. Folks, it's important now that we don't let sleeping dogs lie, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
Christopher Wray's FBI was responsible for a lot of malicious, I believe, illegal behavior and certainly unconstitutional behavior. And if we let it go, what's the problem? Well, the problem is it's going to happen again because there's no penalty for it.
The Dan Bongino Show
What Is The Government Hiding From Us? (Ep. 2387)
If you let people in the FBI steal elections and interfere in elections and there's no penalty, then what's going to stop them from doing it again? The answer is nothing. Here's just a little bit of Christopher Wray's greatest misses because he has no greatest hits. This guy's been a disgrace during his time at the FBI, but these are things I am not going to let go.

They act like the country's stuck in this January 6th like Tesseract and can't leave it. He will not admit that there were FBI sources in the crowd, despite the fact I am telling you, look at me, please.

The Electoral College is an issue for them. Swing states are starting to float in our direction, as you saw in the last election. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Because a lot of liberal people who live in these cities are being left behind in California while conservatives, moderates, and even kind of old blue dog style damn voters are leaving these liberal states because of poor public safety policies, high taxes, unfettered illegal immigration. So what's happening? The population of these liberal states is starting to shrink.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
The population that gives them electoral college voting power The Electoral College is based on the number of members of the House of Representatives, which depends on your population, plus two senators. So the Democrats, who have spoken about this openly, see illegal immigration as a way to backfill people exiting these liberal states to move to more conservative states or swing states.

We've also got some of the props from the old studio, my old Secret Service badge up there. That was one of the Patriot Awards I got. You got Rock'em Sock'em. You got the Muttley. You got everything.

They've talked about it over and over. I played the montage on the show a thousand times. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's not a mystery. It's them actually talking about it. Do me a favor. Just look it up. Go to any search engine, put it Demographic Destiny. You can see a thousand clips of them discussing this. That's what's going on here. That's why they don't have it. Oh, look at this.

I can see Justin's laptop up there. That's a new one. I didn't know that before. Don't do anything shady on the laptop in the studio. You can actually put it on the screen. Yeah, Demographic Destiny. You can see they talk about this stuff all the time. All the time. He was the mayor of Boston who has just disgracefully the other day sent her condolences and thoughts and prayers.

to a suspect in a case of a stabbing where an off-duty police officer acted rather heroically, by the way. You mean she sent the consensus to the police officer? No, to the other guy, the suspect in the case. So here's the mayor of Boston sending a message to illegal immigrants in many languages that basically this is your city. You could watch it yourself. I'm not making this up. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Clearly, you're not safe for everyone. I mean, if you're in a suspected attack or in a knife attack and you find yourself in a Chick-fil-A, you're not really safe because the mayor's going to send their thoughts and prayers to the suspect bad guy with the blade in this case and not the off-duty cop. Doesn't sound safe to me. Folks, incentives matter, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show

If you are going to say to people, break the law, don't enter in a port of entry, stay here illegally, and make no effort at any point to engage with the legal immigration process, but come here, we'll protect you, you are obviously going to become a magnet for people who break the law and come here. This is not hard to figure out. They're just playing dumb. They're not actually dumb with this.
The Dan Bongino Show

Folks, they think with a hive mind, though, and that's one thing about the Democrats. They're usually better at messaging than this. This immigration story to them is one of those basically 70-30, 80-20 issues where they're in the minority and the 20-30%.

They've dropped a big L on it, and they've had no ability to pull themselves out of it and say, guys, it's time to do what we did with the Bill Clinton Democrat Party and start to reorient ourselves towards the center. They're just not doing it. There's a jump cut in the show here, which I'm not supposed to talk about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
They tell you in the business when you guys screw something up, you just go past it. But we had a jump cut something in this prerecorded segment we had done there. Because Justin is messing around, Luke Skywalker fiddling with R2-D2 in there. And while we were doing the show, what happened? I'm looking at their feedback, the video return, and what do I see? The answer is, I don't see anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
I see nothing but black. I mean black, like the absence of any picture whatsoever. And why? Because Justin in there, in the room, give him a little wave. Go to the camera. I plead the fifth. So I had to cut that thing out. So that's why there's a little jump cut in there. Like, how'd you do that? Don't ask. We got a lot of gizmos in the studio, and he's been messing with all too many of them.

I know you may have seen this, but it goes back to a point I made repeatedly about the Borg hive mind Democrats, how when you're a collectivist, which is the essence of what progressive liberal Democrat values are these days, we should all share in the wealth, even wealth you didn't create. We should share in other people's wealth. The essence of that is that you have to act collectively.

I'll be candid with you that the only downside tactically, not ideologically or morally, to being a bedrock Republican who loves our values and conservatism is we're entrepreneurs and we're believers in freedom and individual liberty. We don't want to be told what to do. Tactically. That creates a coordination problem. It creates kind of what they call in economics the prisoner's dilemma.

That is the tactical benefit of... of thinking with the hive mind. They all repeat endlessly the same things over and over and over again. The rich don't pay their fair share. This is all they do. They think collectively. They're taught to not think individually or else they'd be conservatives. And they're not.

Folks, I want to move on to the continuing ongoing situation with the Ukraine deal and the tariff situation. I've explained to you repeatedly that Donald Trump is clearly using tariffs as a negotiating point right now. I'm going to get to that. But he is not kidding.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
fall into the trap of take Donald Trump seriously but not literally, you're gonna blow it and you're gonna lose whether you always know the person sitting across from you at the negotiating table. No, take him seriously and take him literally because he is not kidding. He is demanding an end to this.
The Dan Bongino Show

It's just stunning how the formerly give peace a chance, I mean they had songs about it left, is now upset at Donald Trump for engaging in a negotiation pathway in a war that at this point is not going well for either side, frankly. And you have one, you have a side, I don't want to, I'm going to, just put up the, let me, I'll explain after you see this AP headline, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
He is not kidding when he says, we are out. If you are not interested in engaging in this exit ramp off this war highway onto Peace Exit 62, whatever, that's the exit I lived off, off the LAE, then we're out. He's not kidding. AP, Trump pauses U.S. military aid to Ukraine while pressuring Zelensky to move quickly to end the war. Do not fall in that trap. You are making a catastrophic mistake.

Hey, you don't go out and buy a life jacket when the boat's already sinking. You don't buy gold when the economy's already collapsed. Clearly, others are heeding the advice as gold hit all-time highs in the first part of 2025. It's not too late for you, too. The company I use to diversify into physical gold is Birch Gold, B-I-R-C-H. It's a company I buy my gold from.

Here is another politician in Canada, north of us, who is making another catastrophic mistake. He keeps one-upping the argument with Donald Trump over tariffs. We have not had free and open access on all fronts into Canadian markets for a long time. Donald Trump is a transactional guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Now, whether you agree or disagree with tariffs, I've stated my position a thousand times, I don't want to bore you with it, there is simply no doubt that although we benefit from a friendly relationship with Canada, we certainly wouldn't want an enemy up north, there is no doubt that the inverse is true as well, that they benefit from us. No one's going to invade Canada. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Because the United States military is located just south and would never allow hemispheric dominance by some other world power like China or Russia. Not going to happen. There is a benefit there. It is a direct benefit of being regionally located just north of us. There's also a lot of trade that happens. It benefits both countries here, and these are not our enemies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
But Donald Trump is saying, hey, we want access. We want dairy, everything. We want this Canadian market to be fully free and open. And if it's not, then we're going to tariff your products coming in. And now you have Doug Ford up there in Canada. We're going to cancel contracts with Starling. This is not helping. This is not helping. I understand the situation you're in, but it is not helping.

I've said many times on this show, because it matters to me, having lost family members in wars overseas, the United States has shed a lot of blood and a lot of treasure in the defense of countries around the world not named the United States. Donald Trump has seen what happened in Iraq, a war he never supported. He saw the writing on the wall there.

He saw what happened in Afghanistan and other places where we've tried our best to do this democracy-building, old-school Republican approach to national security geopolitics. He doesn't see results. He sees a NATO military cooperative arrangement that is largely backed by the United States, despite the United States

not being regionally co-located in roughly the same place as some of the enemies NATO is meant to protect against. He sees a Canadian arrangement economically.

I haven't covered this. You know, one of Donald Trump's superpowers, I forget who was arguing this the other day, but it was a genius take, that he has this magical, it was Scott Jennings, he has this magical ability to take an 80-20 issue, where 80% of the people are with him, and he gets his political opponents to jump in with the 20.

Said that four companies control over 80% of the U.S. meat industry. Reports say China now controls... the largest portion of U.S. pork. These companies are using tactics to crush American family farms, and with the additives they're putting into our food, Americans are stuck with sketchy meat. So what can we do about this?

The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
I'm like, let me turn this thing on. I mean it went dark, like pitch black. Like that Vin Diesel movie when he's like the only guy who can see in the dark. Jasmine was the only one. She had the Vin Diesel glasses on in there. And she's like, everybody's like looking around. All right, I'm being a little bit dramatic. Haley's like, dude, it was out for like one second. But it made for a good story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Because I saw Jasmine roll over like, I don't know, there's no light in here. I don't know what's going on. What is that? How about coffee? Here he is. He's doing it again. He's like, you like blackout coffee? I love blackout coffee. I've obviously had a few cups today being so geeked up on caffeine today. It's time for you to be awake, not woke.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Start your day with a hot America First cup of blackout coffee like I do. Blackout coffee is an active, supportive, hardworking Americans that see work as their duty. They love the country. They honor and take care of their customers more than any other coffee company out there. Blackout Coffee uses premium grade coffee beans.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Sometimes you drink this woke garbage coffee, you don't even know what premium grade beans taste like. They use lower grade beans, a lot of these companies. That's why you get that bitter tasting coffee. Now Blackout, skip those long lines at the store and order online for bold, never bitter coffee. The folks at Blackout Coffee ship within 48 hours of roasting. It's fresh. It's great.

Not everything is, you know, 4-D chess. You know, he doesn't think that way about himself. However, getting people to reflexively, the reflexively anti-Trump response to support open borders and men and women's sports has been such a disaster. You wonder at what point they say, guys, it's, you know, I'm not a fisherman, but it's time to cut bait.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Like, just slice the damn fishing line at this point. It's not working. Here are Democrats at the joint address to Congress the other night. The Democrats, you would think this would be a great opportunity for them to get up and clap for a girl who was severely injured playing with a man in volleyball who shouldn't have been in women's sports. But nope, sound bites and snapshots.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
You can't. He said he'll put it in in post, meaning afterwards there'd be a bell effect, where I would go, and there's no bell, and he pretends there's a bell, but no, no, it's okay. It's okay. These guys are working at light speed to get me in the studio. But really, what do you think of the visuals? Show the production room, guys. I want everybody to see you. You can see Justin's 72 feet tall.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
This was a bad snapshot. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Oh, just get up and clap. It's not hard. As I said yesterday, give the golf clap. You don't even have to touch hands. You know, sometimes I broke my right hand. Can you see it now with the zoom camera? See that bump? Oh, you can see that. Look at that. I don't want to tell you how I broke it, but I broke my right hand. Just give like an air clap, whatever. Can you see that? Okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
You see that lump? You can see that. That is an actual, look at that. When I broke it, I go to the doctor, and I'm at the hospital for special surgery. I think that's what it was called. And he comes in, and the doctor was trying to be funny. I thought it was hilarious. Two at a time, my hand was swollen up like a basketball. He's like, I think you broke the LFBs. I'm like, what are the LFBs?
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
He's like, little freaking bones. I'm like, is that bad? He's like, it's bad. Still okay though, knock on wood. You like the desktop too? While we're doing the new studio thing? This was Paula's idea. You like this? Is this real wood? It is? Jasmine says yes, it is real wood. This is called, apparently, a live edge on the thing. I didn't know what live edge meant.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
I thought it was going to have graphics on it or something, like one of those tickers for the stock market. But live edge means it's actual. This is the contour of the wood. This was a Paul idea. This is a new desk, too. Same mic, though. Same microphone. This is the mic from the other studio. Guy was like yesterday. Him and Michael both sent me a text. Look at this, a side shot. Check that out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Well, that kind of blended into the background. Looks like a floating head right there. If you're missing this, by the way, on Apple and Spotify, you got to check this out. Okay, back to the show, because I do this all the time. Here is one of the best secretaries I've seen in a long time. Dan, it's only been a month. I've got enough of a sample size to roll with at this point.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
She's been doing a great job, Caroline Levin. Here she is talking about the Democrats sitting on their hands for this, when they had a golden opportunity for a rapprochement with America on the issue. Nice fancy SAT word. Get up and just pretend to clap. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Michael's like 72 and a half feet tall. Guy, the founder, there he is. He's still telling me how Rogue One is fantastic. Look at him. He's got a little note on his desk. Hello, hello. We got the production. These guys can even talk. Can you guys say something over the thing? Will that go over the thing you just showed me? Don't say anything about Rogue One. I'll cut you right out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
So thankfully... Let's see if these guys see what I'm doing here. They're like, Dan, don't mess around. It's our first day in the new studio. I love messing around, and I can't stop. There was a Minnesota state rep who stepped up for the Democrats. Wouldn't you agree, fellas? She was like, I'm going to bring some sanity back to this. This is clearly not the right approach to take.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Guys, let's speak out clearly. Women deserve their own spaces in sports. There are biological differences. So, fellas, thank you for cutting this. Don't you agree? Stepped up, right? Give her a round of applause. This is Minnesota State Rep Alicia Kozlowski. So stepping up, trying to moderate the Democrat position that somehow men should be in women's sports.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
And thank you for putting this in the show. And thank you, Rep Alicia Kozlowski. for doing the right thing, not the easy thing. Play that cut.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Of course, we were kidding. There is no moderate voice on this issue. It is bullying and state-sanctioned genocide. How exactly is that? Do you care to line that out with some data? Because you used that word. It's a very sensitive word to me. I hear genocide. We want to fix that problem real quick. Kind of curious what data you have to back that up. So stopping a man from smashing a ball.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
into a young girl's face and breaking her nose and giving her a brain injury is somehow genocide. You really sure, again, this is the hill you all want to die on here. Here is a list of the Democrats who blocked the No Men in Women's Sports Act. It's not a small list, folks. There are a lot of them. And I don't understand
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
how tactically a party that's typically smart, you know, obviously I'm not a Democrat, but they're typically tactically smarter than this. You don't think that these names on this list, that this is going to be broadcast in every midterm campaign commercial if they're running, that they voted against this? It's an 80-20 issue, man. You're on the wrong side of this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
You're on the wrong side of history. But again, who am I to give you advice? I don't buy into that stuff anyway. I don't have to. Folks, the reason the left continues to do this is because there's money in it. gerrymandering, the way the congressional districts are carved up, it actually, you profit, at least your campaign coffers do, from engaging in radicalism. You do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
And the base of the Democrat Party is very powerful when it comes to this magnetic pull over to their side. Gerrymandering's got a lot to do with it. I think social media has a lot to do with it. No one wants to be crushed on Twitter, so they don't want to say anything, because they feel like if they say anything, they'll become the target of everybody's ire on Twitter.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
However, censorship is still a bedrock portion of this radical far-left approach, and it's a damn shame, because this is no way to move forward in a free constitutional republic. Globalists love this too. I want you to listen to this. Here is UN Chief Antonio Guterres.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
They could actually go over and broadcast over the thing. I'm throwing way too many curveballs at these guys. Look, there you go. There you go. So we're really proud of this. A couple of thank yous. I want to thank the lovely Paula first. This was her project. Make no mistake, folks. I had absolutely nothing to do with this other than earning some money to build it. I did nothing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
A free speech on social media basically must be stopped because, because if we show you clips like this and women getting hit in the face with volleyballs and smashed as men are spiking volleyballs in their face, then it may kind of turn the public against them. So what's the solution? Ban it. Censorship. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Every time, every time with the censorship. What is with this globalist crowd and censorship? What are you so afraid of? You afraid that me and Justin, by the way, Justin's on X now too. I saw that the other day. Got like all this professional photo. What are you, what, you're afraid we're actually gonna expose you for you? Here's another one they don't want out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
This is excellent Congressman Tim Burchard, right, asking a question about tax dollars funding terror. See, if this is the kind of thing, if you're not doing it, you're not worrying about censoring it because you're not doing it. But if our tax dollars are funding terrorism, the only way to stop people from figuring out how is it, guys, is to censor it. Notice we don't have this problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
I hate censorship. Watch this exchange. This is the kind of stuff they don't want you to see. Check this out.

This isn't hard, man. This isn't hard. Folks, I will not be here tomorrow, Friday. You see, this is going to be tough for me. I only have, after today, five shows left with you. Next week, March 14th, will be our last show. So tomorrow, Friday, I will not be here. I have to go up to Washington, D.C. to handle some very important business. It was my only option.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Everything was kind of in a compressed timeline. I really hope you like the new studio. Just give another shot of each angle here. You can see we put a ton of work into it. Paula did. So did my crew. It was our first show from here. Look at that. Michael, Justin, Guy. I hope you guys enjoy it. At least next week for me and with Haley moving forward in the future. She's right over there.

All of this stuff was Paula, the wall behind us, that's bricks from New York because we have the old New York thing. That's a real iron piling. All of this stuff was her. She designed the whole thing. So thank you, Paula. Thank you, the production team, Guy, Michael, Justin, everyone else who was in here working tireless hours. We appreciate that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
And thank you, Jasmine, our business manager, who was in here helping Paula keep everything in line. And a big thank you to Ronnie Kirchman from Kirchman Contracting, who built this lovely studio on time. and with very few issues, relatively speaking, considering the breadth of the project. So thank you, guys. And we can work on a bookcase in the background a little bit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
We can add and mix around some new stuff. But this is a picture of the old studio. Guy and the team put together a kind of before and after. This is what the old studio looked like. Imagine this train wreck, jerry-rigged operation. I don't even know what half that stuff is anymore. Because, Guy, remember we just kept piling stuff upon stuff? There is Guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Somebody said, wow, on Facebook, Guy's such a handsome guy. I'm like, hey, hold on. Chill out there. Kim won't like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
There is the little mini golf thing on the side. There's the kitchen and new place. So we figured we'd give you a little virtual tour. There are the offices. One of those will be Paula's. So you liking it so far? And there, this is a mural. I want to show you this. This is amazing. Paula had this commissioned, this mural. Oh, what was it? What was his name? Juan Traviezo. Juan Traviezo.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
What a talented guy. That is not a stencil-like thing, folks, where you just like spray paint it. So he did that by hand, Juan. He did the thing by hand. He was here, what, a week? Him and his wife almost on 24-hour shifts. That is all painted by hand. So amazing. That is in the lobby of the new studio. So it really looks incredible. And there you go. It's not all done yet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
There's a couple more kind of knick-knack doodad things we got to put in there. But you like it? Because this was for you guys. We want to make sure you got the best looking product out there. Look at that, that's Haley's office right there. Haley's actually sitting in that seat right now, in the seat you just saw, but she's in it.

Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
That's the only different part of the visual landscape of what's going on right now. Paul is right next to the camera right there. But this is our first show. I'm ecstatic to be here. I feel like this is kind of my life's work coming together in this one physical place. So let's do some content. How do you feel about that?

Yesterday, we saw another messaging debacle up on Capitol Hill as the Democrats who are rudderless right now and seem to be out at sea wandering around with no ability to use the light to get back to the shore. They don't seem to have any direction at this point. And when it comes to the immigration issue, which they took a big L on in the election, nobody doubts that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
They took and dropped a big L. It was the border, it was inflation, and it was this sense of weaponized government that were probably three of the top 10 issues that contributed to this seven-swing state, just absolute disaster for them in the 2024 election.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
If you are listening on Apple and Spotify, you know I love you guys. You are the originals. We didn't even have a video show for years until the lovely Paulita said, I think we should do a show on video. By the way, she's sitting right here, too. This is the new studio. Welcome to the new Dan Bongino Show, the new Evening Scroll with Haley.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
So yesterday, the Republicans brought out up on Capitol Hill in front of committee, they brought out a couple of liberal, big Brandon Johnson types, liberal city mayors, and they wanted them to answer basic questions on immigration. The hearing did not go well for the Democrats.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
But I want to play this clip of Senator Mark Warner first, who is forced in a swing state like Virginia now to admit the obvious, that because the numbers have dropped so dramatically at the border, everything we told you was true. The Immigration and Nationality Act allows the President of the United States
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
stop any class of illegal migrants at any time for any given period of time for any reason. And Joe Biden just didn't want to do it. So here's Mark Warner. And I want you to pay attention to the stammering around in the answer as he's forced to admit basically Trump was right. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
It wasn't a good night. What are you talking about? It was a great night for America. It was just a bad night for you. What a bad night for America. Notice the little sleight of hand he does there, too. You see this often with politicians. By the way, both parties, they all do it. But when they're caught in a corner on a question, he knows. This guy's not stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Mark Warner's been around forever, Democrat from Virginia, obviously on the Senate side. He's not a dumb guy. It may make you feel good to say he's a dumb guy, but he's not. He knows what he's doing. Mark Warner knows in the state of Virginia that illegal immigration is a growing problem for him and his party because they're the party of pro-illegal immigration. They just are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
They can fake it all they want. So what does he do? He has to engage in this euphemisms game to pretend that he's not for what he's for. Like, here's what I'm for, but I can't tell you what I'm for. The Schatz doctrine, in other words. Brian Schatz, the senator who has this theory out there that Democrats should continue to do radically left crazy stuff, just don't tell people about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
So I want you to pay attention to that clip, if you rewind it and go back, if you watch it on demand, how he's struggling to answer the question. It's okay to say Donald Trump has, relatively speaking, you know, in contrast to Joe Biden's illegal immigration encounters at the border, that Donald Trump has fixed the problem. It's okay to say that.

the new early edition with Evita, and Vince, which is going to be starting when I leave. This is the new studio. Paula, how long did you work on this? A very long time. Very long. She doesn't even want to give you long because she doesn't think you'll believe her. A long time. What do you guys think? Let's see you in the chat first. Fire it up. What do you think? Love it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
You might actually look like a bit of a pragmatist in what's becoming, returning to a swing state kind of status, I think, Virginia. He doesn't want to do that. So he stammers and he moves all around and he tries to kind of distract you with, look, shiny red objects up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
But what kind of ticked me off the most about that clip is he says, well, that's no excuse to engage in unfettered immigration raids. I would have followed up if I was the host. She's a liberal. She's not going to follow up and ask real questions. What do you mean unfettered? Oh, I assure you there's fettering when it comes to immigration rates. They have rules, administrative procedures, the law.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
They have the Bill of Rights, the Constitution they have to abide by. You see the distraction mechanism they engage in all the time when they know they're at an issue they're losing on significantly? Oh, look at that. Look at that. Flipping up the camera. You like the lighted flag there? Look at it. No, right there. It actually goes in the right direction this time. Check that out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
Flip to the other one, too. I'm enjoying this too much. Look at that. That's like the pan out camera. These guys are loving this. It's great. We got two shots, three shots. Now we can do interviews and all kinds of stuff. Vince has some crazy good interviews lined up for you. Is that another shot? That's like the... Look at you guys. What are you laughing at? Jasmine's like cracking up in there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
They don't think this is funny because they keep throwing, because I see it on return. They gave you, I hear Jasmine and she's like cackling. I'm like, you guys laughing at making fun of me during my show. So the hearing, the hearing got, the hearing on the, was a genius move, by the You have to remember, the Democrats have been traditionally good at messaging in the past.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
And if you ever read the book, Revolt Against the Masses by Fred Siegel, great book. I have no, I'm not the publisher. I have no vested interest in it at all. It's just a really great book. He talks about basically the revolt against the masses, how liberalism is a response, an attack on the middle class. He mentions in the book how they had this superb mechanism lined up for years.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
The media, activist groups, and congressional committees. You see how Republicans are starting to emulate this strategy now? Conservative media, activist groups, congressional committees, learning how to get a message out there. The hearing up on Capitol Hill with these liberal mayors, Michelle Wu from Boston, Brandon Johnson, Eric Adams, was the perfect opportunity

to just ask them, well, what are you doing about this? It appears through your sanctuary city status, sanctuary city status, that you're incentivizing illegal immigration. This did not end well when an excellent congresswoman from Florida, Ana Paulina Luna, decided to take this thing up one notch regarding some referrals. Check this out.

In case you're wondering, the football helmet in the background, who is it? It is the greatest athlete of all time, and in my opinion, the greatest football player of all time, too. Just my opinion. The great Bo Jackson. I love Auburn. He went there.

So we comply with all laws, local, state, and federal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
You know, this is my first time explaining this from the new studio here. There is a reason that Democrats enjoy open borders. And I'll use the word unfettered, but in the correct way here, unfettered open immigration, regardless of process or procedure. There is a way to migrate to the country. You can get a visa. You can go through the formal process in your own country and be welcomed in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
You can enter at a port of entry and make various claims. What you cannot do is enter any place you want at any time for any reason you want. I think that's clear. However, the first time I explained it from the news studio, the Dems have had this argument for a long time going on internally, and they've actually aired it. They call it demographic destiny.
The Dan Bongino Show
Another Phony Narrative Crumbles + First Show In The New Studio! (Ep. 2437)
When you talk about the exact same thing, they call it replacement theory, but it's the exact same thing. Make no mistake. What the Democrats are referring to is a shift in the demographic makeup of the United States that they think the destiny part, will lead them to a long-term grip on national power. Here's the process for them. They're having a real problem right now.

If you're not watching this show, and you know, this annoyed some people. I don't want to get into stupid stuff. Someone reached out, oh my gosh, you keep saying you're the number one MAGA show. Well, we are. I mean, I'm sorry if that bothers you. I'm not knocking other people. I'm just saying by audience, we are. If you're not watching the show, you're just missing out.

We have been far ahead of the curve because we have a lot of people here who feed us information, and we're pretty well connected into the Trump orbit. And therefore, we speak Trump, I think, better than anyone. I told everyone yesterday after the Gaza announcement, the United States is not invading Gaza. Everybody needs to chill.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Thankfully, the Bongino Army understood this is not how Trump works. He doesn't say something and automatically mean exactly what he says in the beginning. He uses a maximalist position as a leverage point. He may mean it. He may not. It's the guesswork and the crazy man theory that makes the maximalist position effective.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
If you don't understand that about Trump, you've got a long four years ahead of you. It's another thing he doesn't do. He doesn't rule out anything either. Because by ruling out anything, he takes away a negotiating point. You've got to read the art of the deal and you'll understand how this guy thinks. He doesn't rule out anything. It's stupid to rule out anything. Here's what I mean.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
So Donald Trump... basically drops a huge bombshell. And I think for the first time in a while, that's accurate. And says the other day, which we covered at length, that he's talking about or thinking about taking over Gaza.

They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
this area in the Middle East, right on Israel's border and the Egypt border, and everybody freaked out, thinking, oh, American invasion, genocide, all this other stupidity, which was nonsense. I was actually happy to see the Wall Street Journal, which really doesn't like Trump, take a pretty even-keeled position on this. Say, hey, what did Trump say was wrong?

So for everyone who melted down, not you in the Bongino Army, after Liberation Day, as you see, I got the shirt on today. You can pick one up if you'd like, up to you. But after Liberation Day, people started freaking out even more, even people on our own side, which was disappointing. Oh, my gosh, he's going to put boots on the ground in Gaza, invade taxpayer dollars, nation building.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
He didn't say any of that. I don't know what you're talking about. If you just would have waited a day, she was just clear. He's not talking about U.S. taxpayer dollars. What did we say yesterday? Folks in the chat, come on. What did we say yesterday? You know. He is pushing regional partners over there who have a regional, the Middle East, people who have a direct regional interest.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Like New York has an interest in New Jersey. Wyoming does too, but not as much as New York. It's right there. He's saying to the Saudis, UAE, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, everyone, get your shit together or daddy's home and he's going to fix it. If you just would have waited a day, instead of freaking out, 100,000 soldiers are going to die in Gaza. What are you talking about?

They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
You would not look like a moron today. Everybody, even the Wall Street Journal, had a pretty unbiased perspective on this, which shocked me. They were like, what did Donald Trump say that was crazy? The status quo's not working. He's like, the United States could probably play some role here with regional partners in fixing this mess. Either you fix it or I'm going to fix it.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
What the hell did he say that was wrong? Here's our National Security Advisor, Michael Walz, saying the exact same thing again. I told you yesterday, if you watched yesterday's show, and thank you for all the feedback on it, I want you to know it means the world to me. You were way ahead of this story while everyone else was freaking out.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
We said this yesterday, exactly what Michael Walz says here. He's really doing this to push these regional partners. He's not saying I'm not going to do stuff. So don't, he's not, this is not him joking. It's him pushing. There's a difference. Watch the NSA and National Security Advisor say the exact thing we said yesterday. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Why do you guys think I caught that where I did? Because it's exactly what we said yesterday. This is how he negotiates. Do you hear Michael Waltz at the end? Do you hear the last line? He's pushing regional partners. Hey, man, do you guys have any solutions to this? Nah, we don't have shit. You don't have anything, do you? What's your fix? I'm just curious.

If you're out there and you're AOC, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, who melted down, this is genocide. Whatever nonsense she was spouting about on X. What is your solution? Hamas decided to engage in a massive terror strike on a company that kicked their freaking asses. That's a fact. I'm not asking you how you feel. I'm telling you what is.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
How you feel about what is is your own freaking problem if you're on the other side. You got your ass kicked. Yes, you killed a lot of Israelis. And they turned around and killed a shit ton of you terrorist assholes too. And they wiped out everything because you fucked with the wrong people. You don't start a war you can't finish. And you couldn't. That does not mean I am a savage.

I fully understand that many innocent Palestinians were caught up in this, who had nothing to do with this, who were not terrorists. War is ugly, period. Anyone telling you otherwise is a moron not worth your time. But you don't start a fight you can't finish. Now Donald Trump comes in here with a sensible solution to a problem. The Palestinians living in Gaza have nowhere to go, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
There's no sewage. There's no water. There's no electricity. There's no flat ground because there's freaking rubble everywhere. What is Rashida Tlaib's solution? More terror attacks? She doesn't have one. All she wants is the status quo. Because you know what? Let me tell you what's really happening here. And I'm going to move on.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
I'm sorry, but I'm really passionate because I hate these foreign policy assholes who never propose a freaking solution to a problem ever. And they tell you, I'm a world scholar in international relations. You're a freaking idiot. You have not proposed a single solution to a problem in forever. Here's what's really going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Nobody wants to take in the Palestinians because countries that have done it in the past in Lebanon and Jordan have been destabilized by significant portions of Palestinian populations that engaged in kind of insurrections against those governments. Look it up yourself. Don't take my word for it. They don't want the Palestinians.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
If they wanted the Palestinians, they'd take them in, but they don't. So in order to keep their populations that they subjugate because no one's freely elected in the Middle East outside of Israel, they need a common enemy. Tell me I'm wrong, fellas. Who's the common enemy? The evil Jews in Israel. And what do they do? They're like, look at what those evil Jews are doing to the Palestinians.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Hey, why don't you take them in? Oh, no, you don't want to take them in. But the evil Jews are doing it. Everybody in the Middle East stays in power because they get the evil Jews narrative and they use the Palestinians as a pawn. That's what's going on. That's why Rashida Tlaib and all these other dipshits don't want to fix the Palestinian problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Because if they do, the evil Jews narrative goes out the window. That's what's going on. You want the hard truth? Chew on them freaking apples. That's exactly what's going on right now. That's why they're freaking out about Donald Trump finally saying, daddy's home, I'll fix it. They don't have a victim class of Palestinians. The evil Jews narrative goes away. That's what's happening.

They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Ask your friends that. I don't care what side you're on. You love the Palestinians so much? Why doesn't the Arab world help them out? You realize Egypt will not take them in? It's right there, Gaza.

I promise you, I'm not trying to sell you anything, but this is important. This is a project I've been working on for a long time, okay? This was my book, Follow the Money.

He speaks sometimes in a very opaque manner because it's part of his negotiating position. Again, I'm not telling you everything is 4-D chess. Sometimes he speaks extemporaneously and says something and takes it back. You move quick, you break stuff once in a while. It happens. The Gaza thing, I promise you, was not one of them. It was not. Okay, here was a prediction I made.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
I'm not going to tell you this was some big, bold, insane prediction, but I told you it was going to happen because the left is crazy. Folks, the midterms, Dan, I don't want to hear about the midterms. No, I do, okay? I'm always thinking the next election cycle. I'm sorry, but the reason this show is successful is because we see around corners. The next election cycle is already coming up, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
It's only a matter of time before people start declaring for the midterm elections. Every congressional seat, a third of the Senate. We've got a tough run in the Senate. If we lose in the midterms, lose the House and the Senate, God forbid, we're going to be in a lot of trouble. It will be two years of fake investigations and collusion hoaxes into Donald Trump. So I'm already thinking midterms.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Why is this important? Because another thing that's going to happen is if we lose the House in the midterms, which are just a year and a month or so, a year and 11 months away, which in my life is right around the corner, okay? If we lose, Donald Trump will be impeached again. For what? It doesn't matter. They'll make it up. They will use the dastardly deeds clause. That'll make sense in a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Here's me a while ago making a prediction that has sadly already come true. Check this out. I'm about plans and plus ones and minus ones. I do not get involved in emotional stuff. I don't. I'm a passionate guy. I don't like the left, but I promise you I win. I asked you a favor. Did I not? Tell me I didn't. Even for my haters out there. I said, please vote down ballot.

A lot of these guys are going to be turkeys who are Republican congressmen and senators, but we need them because of a very simple tactical reason. Some of you didn't like that. Dan, I'm not voting for anyone with Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
I said, that's a huge mistake because what's going to happen then is Trump is either going to get impeached or we're not going to get any of our nominees judicial or cabinet approved. I'm asking you to see the forest for the trees. And a lot of you get it. So I don't want to sound in any way condescending or not trying to sound like a tool.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
I'm not asking you to vote for Republican congressmen or senators you don't like. You aren't? No. I'm asking you to vote for Donald Trump because if you're not going to have Donald Trump, if you don't vote for those people you don't like. I'm not asking you to vote for them. Most of them I don't like. They don't like me. Some of them don't even like us.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
However, if we lose committee spots and we lose the House and you vote for the other guys, the Democrats, or you don't vote at all, which is a huge mistake, Donald Trump will be impeached. He will. It's already started, folks. Here is Al Green at it again on impeachment. Al Green cites for impeachment high crimes and misdemeanors. No, I guess the dastardly deeds clause of the Constitution.

They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
I'm going to get to it in a second. I actually dog-eared a page, stuff I had underlined a long time ago, and I'm going to show you how we were way, way, way ahead of this thing, this story a long time ago. I want to hat-tip someone first here who basically uncovered something explosive. This is new information, okay? The USAID book's getting opened up.

There we go. You're always six months to a year ahead of the news cycle, sometimes more. I told you it was going to happen. Folks, these people are crazy. They are lunatics. The Democrats are in total disarray. Who the hell knows what the hell the dastardly deeds clause is? He just made it up. This guy's a moron. You're going to see more of this. And listen to me now.

They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
I don't want to hear about the midterms. I don't care. I don't mean to sound like a dick. I don't care what you want to hear about. We got to win. You like the winning? You want to keep the winning going? If we lose in the midterms, I guarantee you this guy will be impeached again. And God forbid we lose 60 plus seats in the Senate or we need more. They would need more.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
You will see this guy impeached and removed. Because there's always going to be a few sucker Republicans that fall for this too. However, let's get back to the good stuff. Folks, the FOing is piling up. Even Stuart Thompson sees it coming. I'm telling you, I'm having a hard time with all the winning. We're putting together shows at such a rapid pace. I gave the guys a challenge.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Like, hey, you want to put together a show? As I tell them five minutes later, I already sent them half the show. Did I not? They're like, oh, we'll go find some. I've already given them just about everything because there's so much FOing happening. What's FOing? Well, this is the FAFO presidency. They effed around, and now they're FOing. They're finding out.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
The finding out's happening over and over and over. So we're going to cover an FO segment just about every day or every other day. Here's a couple quick hits to put you in a good mood today. New CBS News has learned Attorney General, now Attorney General, thankfully, Pam Bondi, will sign memos directing the DOJ to start a weaponization working group.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
that will review the Twinkies case in New York, Tish James, Tyrant Jack Smith. Pondy will also end the moratorium on federal executions. Ladies and gentlemen, I told you, the FOing, the finding out is happening left and right. Here is Emil Bove, who was running the DOJ until Pam Bondi got in. He's still over there. Great guy.

I promise you there is a project, a research project I've been working on for a long time. This USAID story, this deep state slush fund where your taxpayer dollars are being used to F you over, censor you, engage in anti-American activities around the world is part of a massive story and a connection was made last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Yes, if you swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States as an FBI agent and engaged in a tyrannical investigation against Donald Trump with partisan intent and not the Constitution in mind, you do not deserve your job. I'm sorry, you broke your oath. What part of this is difficult? Did you think they were kidding? Seriously, do you think the Trump administration's kidding?

Folks, I'm not going to accept any lectures on this either from fraudsters. In my last line of work, I protected Republicans and Democrats, and I did my job to the best of my abilities every time, and I tell you that with the absolute purest of hearts.

I'm sorry if you were an FBI agent and acted differently because you didn't like the politics of the person being prosecuted. You deserve to be fired. You violated your oath of office. Or you swore in as an 1811. Here's Aaron Maté, who I don't agree with on everything, especially the Middle East, but he's been great on Spygate. And again, I'm not emotional about things at all.

When Elon Musk and Doge cracked open the books for the government, they found, for those of you who missed it, we've been covering it over the last few days, but just a quick recap.

He notes it still hasn't sunk in. The FBI took part in framing not just any random person as a Russian agent, but the president. And in the process, they endorsed the Clinton campaign's condescending elitist message that voters who didn't vote for them were Russian assets. None of these Russiagate fraudsters, he notes, have owned up to this historic deceit.

And Andrew McCabe, this absolute buffoon who was the deputy director and acting director of the FBI, who helped launch the probe, is still doing talking work on CNN. Here, watch this video. Andrew McCabe, who was one of the ringleaders of a fake investigation in the FBI they knew was fake, is still on CNN as a respected talking head about the FBI.

This shows you the level of deceit and how no one is being held accountable by the left wing, but they are FOing by the Trump administration. Check this out.

They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Folks, I mean, how is this guy still on TV? How is this guy still on TV? Do you understand if you look up his name, Andrew McCabe, FBI, that he is one of the central figures in this fake collusion case they made up that almost got the United States into a conflict with Russia over a fake story that Trump colluded with Russia to steal an election? You realize this guy was one of the ringleaders?
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
And he's complaining that other people who may have been involved with him are career FBI. Listen, if you did your job honorably, thank you for your service. Terrific. If you didn't, I'm sorry. But Kash Patel and Kim Bondi, Pam Bondi, Emil Bov and others are going to ask you to leave because it's time for you to go. You screwed around. All right. Now you're going to find out.

Here's a couple more FOs. Trump to sign executive order banning men from women's sports and branding visas with the wrong sex as fraud. You know what? Can we skip ahead? I want to show you. Can we do go to the video of him with all the kids around? Folks, and then that CNN poll. You guys know what I'm talking about? I'm skipping ahead a little bit. I want to show you something.

They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Because again, another Dan Bongino operating evergreen theory I've told you over is the cannibalism theory. If you don't understand the Dan Bongino cannibalism theory, it's very simple.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
So the Doge people and Musk crew, they go in there and they find out that this group called USAID, the Agency for International Development, is basically a deep state slush fund giving money basically to lefties and commies and everybody who hates you. The story's really that simple. The details are complicated. The story is not. That is what is going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
When the left loses an issue like this men and women's sports issue, which they got their asses kicked on, what winds up happening is the small group of crazies, about 20% who are pushing this stuff, men should compete in women's sports, which is insane, right? You understand they make money off this? They make money off social media promotion.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
They get money from left-wing groups to promote this crap, as you saw with USAID. Follow the money. Follow me here. People make money off crazy left-wing issues like men and women's sports. You got me? Does that make sense? So the cannibalism theory is this. They don't want to give up the gravy trade, even when the issue buries the Democrat Party.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
This issue was probably 10 to 20 percent, if not more. I don't mean just throwing a number of Donald Trump's victory in this presidential election. People were so annoyed at this. Right. It was such an easy win for Republicans that same people like, why are Democrats still fighting for this craziness? Because people make money off it.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
So the cannibalism theory is once they lose the issue overall, they start going after what they see traitors in their own midst and lefties. J.K. Rowling, a perfect example. She's not a big conservative, but the author of the Harry Potter books, she's like public enemy number one to them. Martina Navratilova, the tennis player.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
They will start eating themselves alive because they can't give up the grift and they can't have people on the inside turning. Does that make sense? So you see this article in the New York Post about this. This was a huge deal. This is the easiest political win of all time.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Here's Donald Trump yesterday, one of the best snapshots and soundbites you're ever going to see, signing this executive order, finally banning this craziness. And watch what he does. Remember, snapshots and soundbites, folks. That's politics. This issue is a loser for the left. But because they're making money off it, they're going to start eating their own alive. They're not going to let this go.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
And you can just sit back and chew on the popcorn. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Folks, snapshots and sound bites, man. There is simply no one better at this than this guy. There isn't. You can deny his political skills all you want. He's just going to keep kicking your ass. The cannibalism theory, digest it, apply it, read it, love it, own it.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
The left, unlike the right, when the right, I'm not saying we do this all the time, but when the right senses an issue is a complete total political loser. Maybe it's a bad issue. We're not, you know, sometimes something comes up. Maybe the politics of it weren't right for the moment. You'll see them walk away from it a little bit, right? This is not the case with the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
They will go all in because there's money there. They don't care. And just sit back, eat your popcorn as they start eating themselves alive because there's no one on the right that supports this. Watch them start tearing each other to pieces. Here's a CNN segment. This is how bad of an issue for these lunatics who were dying on the craziest hill ever, men and women's sports.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
This is how bad of an issue this is for them. 80% of people, 79 to be exact, are against this. And these morons who are making money are about to sink their party over it. Here's a CNN segment. Imagine you get 80% of people to agree on anything. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
That's why there's a collective freakout going on with the Democrats storming USAID headquarters, screaming, you can't look at where we're spending this money. We've been screwing you over with your own tax dollars forever. Now their line is, it's only a $40 billion budget. $40 billion. Do you understand Kamala's entire presidential campaign was just over a billion?
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
You ever seen a better example of my cannibalism theory? Just stand back, stand your ground on the issue, knowing you're right. Men and women's sports is crazy and just watch. They'll eventually give up on you because they know they're never going to convince you to believe the crazy and they will always eat their own alive. Always. Always. Because there's money in it. They can't give it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
They don't actually believe this. They don't know. They don't. They're making money off it. They're getting money from USAID groups for transgender opera shows in Peru or whatever. There's freaking money in it, dude. You think these people are ideological zealots? Yeah, some of them are, but most of them are just greedy little shits. Don't even give him that much credit.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Yeah, Bernie Sanders is probably a believer. 90% of people who follow him aren't at all. They're sitting there with their iPhones and their money and their lattes. You know what? Can we move ahead to the Rumbler segment? I'm sorry. I'm all over the place. Folks, the fixer is back. Here's another thing I haven't discussed in a long time. Man. I'm hesitant to bring this up again.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
And the only reason I ask is because this thing sets the world on fire. And every time I do, it seems like a bit of self-promotion because I've been covering this forever. There is a figure in politics who has somehow managed to escape A serious scrutiny like the John Brennans and Jim Comey have.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
And I cannot figure out why, because she was at the heart of so many major Biden era, Obama era scandals. It is stunning that this woman is not the subject of further scrutiny by books and conservative groups out there. We've been all over. We've done 10, 20 shows on it. Who is it? It's Catherine Rumbler. You know who Catherine Rumler is? She was Obama's White House counsel.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
The Dan Bongino Show calls her the fixer. Why am I bringing up Catherine Rumler again? Throw in the New York Post article at first. I see you have the post there on the screen. But the New York, the one about the Epstein thing. It says, so this broke the other day. The Jeffrey Epstein case is back, folks. New Jeffrey Epstein docs.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Reveal pedophile met with CIA chief and former White House counsel after the child sex crime conviction. Now, this article is not new. However, there are now some rumors out there that the new Department of Justice is going to start releasing some more information about the Jeffrey Epstein case. Wait, put that post headline up again.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
What the hell was Jeffrey Epstein doing meeting with Barack Obama's fixer, his White House counsel? Hold on. Let me just give you a little litany and rundown of everything Obama's fixer was involved in fixing and what the hell was she trying to fix with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal? Are there some high-level Democrats like the Clintons who may have needed some stuff to go away with this?
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
You could fund 40 left-wing communist presidential campaigns for the amount of money being stolen from you, given to left-wing insane groups. How does this relate to this project? Let me play this first, and I want you to pay very close attention to this. Let me establish the bluff, the bottom line up front.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Here's some more Catherine Rumler stuff. Washington Post. Catherine, throw up the Washington Post headline for me. Washington Post. White House Counsel Kathy Rumler. From outsider to protector of the presidency. Politico. The IRS scandal, who was at the center of that? Oh, look, the latest revelation.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Catherine Rumler was given early information about this thing and shared it with White House officials. It raises another question to note. Should Obama have been alerted sooner? You mean Kathy Rumler knew before Obama? The Observer. Sex, lies, and the White House counsel? Catherine Rumler blunders into the Secret Service scandal mess. Here's one more for you. Remember Benghazi?
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
President's former lawyer speaks out. On Meet the Press, Catherine Rumler talks Obama's executive action and the court appearance of a suspected Benghazi mastermind. Folks, Rumler was at the center of all of the Obama-Biden stuff. Not all of it, but a good amount of it. She was the fixer. She was like that Olivia Pope character in that scandal show that was out there forever.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
She was the mess cleaner. What the hell is she cleaning up with the Epstein scandal now, and now with the DOJ flipping over? Folks, if we don't uncover the full Epstein story, there is... There is a huge hole in the follow the money, follow the influence picture. I'm telling you, and I'm going to tell you again, this is probably the 10th time I've told this story.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
An unimpeachable source was on a plane with Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein. According to this whistleblower friend of mine, Clinton walks in the back with a young lady. He doesn't know the age. He doesn't know what happened. He did not walk back there with her. He doesn't say anymore. He was totally uncomfortable what happened. Asked to be let off that detail that day.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
And he noted later on that some of the other people who were involved in that flight, all of a sudden their BlackBerrys at the time disappeared and showed up on a basically kind of like a stolen missing property list in the Secret Service. You do with that what you want. I'm just telling you, there's a source out there and he knows who he is. If you ever want to speak up, my audience is waiting.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
But this Jeffrey Epstein story, folks, we haven't even scratched the surface of. What the hell was the Obama fixer meeting with this guy for? Story just keeps getting worse. All right, folks, that was a lot of material to cover today. The beginning's really important. I'm asking you as a friend, please pick up the book, Let's follow the money wherever you can get it. I don't really care.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Folks, I've been telling you for, gosh, now close to eight years, maybe more, since I wrote the initial book, Spygate, The collusion hoax that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal an election. Obviously, how fabricated hoax, you know that.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Borrow it. But read the whole book if you can. But the chapter on the mole, the chapter on Ukraine, you need to know that this USAID scandal involves a whole lot of players, and it explains everything. what Zelensky knew, what Zelensky knew early, why Ukraine was a piggy bank, what Ukraine's protecting.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
You realize Zelensky and people in Ukraine now, they were the start of the whole Russia, not Zelensky himself, but people in Ukraine started the entire Russia hoax. You realize that came out of Ukraine? It's all there. You'll understand this story with the Schellenberger piece. If you read the book, pick it up, follow the money, buy it, give it to your friend and you'll be, you'll be blown away.

The impeachment hoax afterwards that Donald Trump made a call to Ukraine and said, give us dirt on Joe Biden or we're not going to give you all this other stuff. The Spygate hoax, the spying operation on Donald Trump, that's that actually happened. and the Hunter Biden laptop intel thing, and Ukraine are all the same people.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
They're protecting a massive piggy bank USAID has a lot to do with, and Ukraine has a ton to do with it too. Listen to the USAID connection to the impeachment hoax that the great Michael Schellenberger uncovered. He talked about it last night on Jesse Watters' show. This is going to tie in to this whole fiasco. But listen to this first. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
by investigative reporter Michael Schellenberger, which ties into this project I've been working on forever. This stuff is going to blow your mind how Ukraine, the deep state, USAID, the impeachment hoax, the collusion hoax, they are all related. I just need you to do one thing for me. Follow the money. Don't go in and call your friends right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
What the hell just happened last night? All the credit in the world to Michael Schellenberger. This new angle to an old story is such a massive piece of the puzzle that the puzzle didn't make sense until this big, huge piece was plugged in. So now we know that USAID was basically funding regime change
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
in the United States to get rid of Donald Trump, taking an international pool of money where they were basically a carve-out for intel operations around the world to engage in regime change and anti-American activity overseas, that this USAID outfit money went to a media outlet, that's the one he's talking about, that produces this fake report about Donald Trump and his call to Ukraine.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
The fake report is then cited by the whistleblower who files a report with the inspector general for the intelligence community. And that leads to the entire Donald Trump impeachment fiasco. The problem is the whole story's fake. The whole story's fake. The whistleblower didn't even hear the call. Now, where does the book come in? Again, the book is called Follow the Money.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
This project has been on my mind. I had an episode taken off of Apple, censored, because I talked about this story. If you go to page 135 of the book, I know it's hard to see there, but there's a chapter called The Mole. The mole chapter is all about this entire thing in intricate detail what happened. So the whistleblower that he's talking about, so follow me here.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
This is not complicated, but the show's a little deep today. A whistleblower calls the inspector general of the United States for the intel community, says Donald Trump did a quid pro quo on a call with Ukraine. The whistleblower's not on the call. The information cited in the report the whistleblower makes says That the information is taken from a USAID-funded media propaganda piece.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Meaning USAID and our tax dollars are funding propaganda to engage in regime change. Here's where the book comes in. This is page 136 in the chapter, The Mole. Talking about the whistleblower, this guy, Chia Morella. He first arrived at the White House during the Obama administration. Interesting. So he's an Obama holdover. Worked as Ukraine director on the National Security Council. Wow. Shit.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
I would have never guessed. The whistleblower had some interest in Ukraine, which was a piggy bank for people like Joe Biden and everyone else. Can't hurt that piggy bank. Donald Trump's asking questions about Ukraine. We better file a report. Where are we going to get the information for the report? I don't know. Maybe USAID could fund a media outlet to give us some fake shit. Oh, man.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
So he was a Ukraine director on the National Security Council, a position later filled by our good friend Twinkies, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman. Remember Vindman? You can call me Lieutenant Colonel. Remember him? The whistleblower, Chia Morella, a multilingual Ivy League graduate, had also worked with, no way, Dan. How did you write this in a book?
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Had worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan. Paul Sperry has done amazing work, footnoted and credited in this book at length, by the way. One more, one more for you. He went, he went... It's only gets better. And by better, I mean worse. You can read the whole chapter if you like. I'm going to read the whole thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
because your minds are about to be totally blown about what I'm going to tell you. I have been saying this for years. All of it, the spying scandal, the collusion hoax, the impeachment hoax, the intel officials, Ukraine, it's all tied to the same people. Get ready. There's a lot coming at you, so get your pens out. Blackout Coffee. Drink a cup. Visit blackoutcoffee.com slash Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
The whistleblower here, who got his information, apparently, according to Schellenberger's reporting, and by the way, there are lawsuits threatened about this. This operation is saying this is not what happened. Let's hear from you. Send us an email. I'll read your statement on the air. Schellenberger and them are standing by their reporting. They're saying there's a connection here.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
We'll see what happens. It's also noted, I read in a book, that Chia Morella, the alleged whistleblower here, worked with Alexandra Chalupa, She was the Ukrainian-American consultant for the Democrat National Committee, who was one of the leading mudslingers of Russiagate dirt and the rumors. Chalupa was obsessed with Manafort.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
She met Chia Morella, the whistleblower at the White House, as far back as 2015. Folks, is this thing all making sense now? You're not reading this, man. You're making a huge mistake. I have been working on this forever. That's just one piece of one chapter called The Mole.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
The first chapter, Insane in Ukraine, lays out how Soros, who I've got a guy coming on, Matt Palumbo, he's my editor at Bongino Report and my radio show later, who wrote the entire book on Soros and USAID and all this other stuff. He's coming on later. If Schellenberger's reporting turns out to be accurate, I have no reason to believe it won't.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
that a media outlet may have been funded by USAID money to provide information that was later used in an IG report. by a whistleblower and the information turned out to be hyperbolic at best and used to impeach Donald Trump in order to protect Biden and everyone else's piggy bank in Ukraine.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Folks, now do you see why Donald Trump is calling this the scandal of the century, the funding of media outlets by USAID money? Go read his true social. Do you think this guy's an idiot? He beat you guys three times in a row, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
Donald Trump knows full well that the deep state slush fund of USAID funding media outlets to provide information later used for potential regime change at home is probably the biggest political scandal of our time. Please get the book. There's libraries. Your friends may have it. There are a lot of copies out there. I don't care how you get it. I promise you my incentives are pure here.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
You need to read it. You will never understand what's going on in full until you read it. We put a shit ton of work into this thing. It's a project I've been working on forever. This Ukraine piggy bank is at the heart of everything. There were pro-Russia, pro-European factions in Ukraine that were all making a fortune off lobbying people in the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
They Fell Right Into Trump's Trap (Ep. 2417)
By the way, Democrats and Republicans were involved. That's why some Republicans are really quiet about all of this. And USAID and others may have been involved in the funding of some of this stuff that was being used to protect this grift. It is a huge freaking scandal. Please check it out. I'm begging you. Again, Matt Palumbo at Bongino.

There is an entire racket going on with international, quote, development money that's being used to line the pockets of people here like the Biden regime. Thank you, Michael Schellenberger.

Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
you you've got a decent sample size of how congress works i think we could both agree me having followed politics for a very long time you being up there up on capitol hill that spending cuts are really really politically difficult they shouldn't be but they are because what happens the democrats and their commie loser acosta friends in the media go you're throwing grandma off a cliff it doesn't matter what you cut a study about shrimp running on treadmills they'll be like you're torturing the shrimp
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
I'm sensing a real change, though. And are you sensing it up on Capitol Hill between Doge and Donald Trump going for it and Trump 2.0, that we may finally start to see actual political momentum, not just to not spend more, but to actually spend less? Are you sensing that? It may be me from the outside of misreading it, but I certainly am.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
yeah you're a good man you've always been good to me and my family i will never forget that outside of the politics and you being the change we need you've always been a good man and that means a lot to me uh mr president you will be taken over shortly thank the lord um however president biden is claiming ridiculously that he's looking for a smooth transition
The Dan Bongino Show

But out the door, he's suing Elon Musk, taking Cuba off the terrorism list, shoveling our money out the door, changing the line of succession to basically screw you over and destroying our capability to drill offshore for oil and gas we need. Mr. President, this is not a smooth transition. He's trying to hurt you as you get into office. There's no doubt about that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
This is really depressing. I mean, any good news up on Capitol Hill? I mean, I'm not asking you to put lipstick on the pig. You know that. I'm just, are we going to get any spending cuts at all? Because we're, as you know, Congressman, we're talking to Congressman Tim Burchard. We are on a mathematically certain path to de facto bankruptcy. That's a fact.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun

No, I agree with you 100%. Jim, you know it, right? After Election Day, I said, all right, celebrate today. Have yourself a glass of bubbly if you're a drink. Have a jello shot if you're not without the alcohol. But, you know, that's it. Like Wednesday morning, it's time to go. I hate to tell you, but this is not a perpetual party.

No, we have four. No, we don't. We have two. The presidency is not a four-year term. It's two two-year terms because there's midterms. We don't forget it. We have two years. I try to tell people this all the time. We could lose the House or the Senate. I hope we don't, but we could. But you said something really important. I want you to just kind of repeat again for my listeners. I get this a lot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
You know, when I ran for Congress, you meet a lot of members about endorsements and positions they have. You know how it goes. And one of the things they told me is, you know, one of the first things they'll do is you get a call from a constituent. First, they look up the area code, make sure you're in their district.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
But if it's a serious issue, they'll look up voting histories to voter vault or these, you know, these things. If you are a voter, which most of my listeners are, and you call that office or send an email, not a form email, but a genuine email about any issue, spending cuts. They listen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
and and then you hold them accountable if they don't do it like what you do you vote their butts out of office that's the beautiful thing about this system yes outcomes you know congressman you would probably agree with me on this i i like you we're obviously friends but that doesn't get in the way of either mine or your if i started talking about the communist manifesto and how much i love leftism you know we we may
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
I doubt it, but we may remain friends, but we're certainly not going to be professional allies. We have to stop getting into and listening to all the speeches these congressmen give. Oh, man, that guy put a cowboy hat on. I don't give a damn what he said. I don't care if you're mute and don't even talk. All I give a damn about. is how you vote.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
And there's way too many actors up on Capitol Hill who give all the flowery speeches, and then when it comes down to voting, they have a freaking D or an F from these conservative scoring sides. We have got to get past the speeches and into the actual outcomes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
I tell him that all the time. Let me ask you, I got about two minutes left. I want to get this question. You have been all over this UAP, UFO phenomenon, all over it. You have been probably the most vocal voice up on the Hill for the truth. The drone situation in New Jersey, I'm not asking you to give up classified information. You wouldn't anyway, obviously.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
However, within the realm of what you can say, I'm getting from sources that this is very concerning, to say the least, and a potential serious national security problem. Your thoughts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Not like that's a problem. Congressman, I got to run, but I need a favor from you. I'm opening up my new studio soon, probably within three weeks, four weeks max. We put a lot of money into it. We're going to be able to do nice sit down interviews, two shots. I want to do a hour plus. You're one of my audience's favorite guests on this UAP UFO issue. I think it would be a huge hit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
People would love it. So if you'd come down, we'll take care of getting you down here and everything. I would love to have one. That would be fantastic. All right, great. See Jim, get that on the record. We got it recorded. I got to run.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
And you're right. My listeners all the time are like, is that Magnum P.I.? I'm like, no, it's Congressman Tim Burchard. Come on, man. Congressman, we've got to run. Thanks for coming on. Really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Thanks, brother. You're the good man. Thank you. Congressman Tim Burchard. Another one of our fiery interviews next, but our next sponsor first. Folks, great story here. A lady named Phyllis walks into a neighborhood pharmacy in New Jersey, asks the pharmacist for an antioxidant cream for her wrinkles and skin. The pharmacist says, I'll compound one for you. Just come back tomorrow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Phyllis uses the cream for three days, goes to her dermatologist appointment, and the doctor looks at her and thinks, you just had work done. And believe it or not, that's how GenuCell Skincare was born. GenuCell Skincare is the official skincare, my wife Paula and the rest of the Bongino Army. That was 25 years ago.

The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
He's also a congressman up on Capitol Hill in addition to a doctor. Check this out. So here to talk about this absolutely humiliating last few hours up on Capitol Hill for the Democrats is a congressman from the amazing, wonderful state of Texas. He is a doctor. He is a congressman. He is a friend. I worked with him on protection details in the Secret Service for many years.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Good, good, good. That's great to hear.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
And a good man, Dr. Ronnie Jackson. Ronnie, thanks for joining us today. Really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah, we love having you. So, Congressman, you're watching this debacle right now. Pete Hegseth, a guy you and I know very well, a man of integrity and dignity, a man who has written about extensively some of the problems with our military. You're watching the Democrats freak out, lob a bunch of... anonymous, basically insulting allegations against them, many of which have been discredited.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
But did you notice, Dr. Jackson, that the Democrats aren't focusing on the problems you and I have discussed in the past about the military, the DEI problem, the refocus away from lethality, the recruiting problem? This is all just, it seems like a big smoke screen to cover from the problems they largely caused.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
We're talking to Dr. Ronny Jackson, a person really, you know, I hate the word uniquely, but genuinely uniquely qualified to comment on this. Dr. Ronny Jackson was in our military as a medical doctor. Dr. Ronny Jackson's a member of Congress, so he definitely understands the machinery upstairs in Capitol Hill.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
And third, you were nominated to be VA secretary when Jon Tester, now a man who thankfully lost his job in the US Senate, tried to sabotage your career with ridiculous allegations I personally knew were false because I worked with you. So you've seen all of this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
But we really need to refocus here, Ronnie, because this DEI focus in the military is bad enough in corporate America, where when you get away from merit, maybe you run a pizza company, you're producing terrible pizza because you're not focused on pizza. You're focused on skin color and other stuff. But in the military, Dr. Jackson, as you know, I mean, it's not a figurative thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
I mean, you're talking about actual life and death where you're putting incompetent people in charge due to completely unrelated characteristics who could lead men, women into combat and get people killed. This is a serious thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Talked to Dr. Ronny Jackson, Congressman from the state of Texas, was nominated for a cabinet spot, was ruthlessly attacked by Democrats. Dr. Jackson, as a member of our military, you're familiar with what happens at boot camp.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
And the most troubling thing I think about this DEI cancer that's ripping America apart is one of the things they teach in boot camp, I get this complaint all the time from friends of mine in the military, Is that they break you down and they break you down of any preconceived notions to build you up as a team where they eliminate these external characteristics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
You could have a guy from the Appalachian region of America and a guy who was a surfer in California. They're in boot camp. Their heads are shaved. They're treated the exact same and they're taught to operate as a team.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
If you ever wanted to introduce a pernicious ideology to destroy team cohesion, which is necessary in the military, in a life or death situation, it's to get people to start to focus on absolutely ridiculous things like a guy's religion, sex, or anything else. Your job is one thing. Act as a unit and go kill the bad guy. That's it. This will destroy our military.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
I mean, the damage is incalculable. It's done already. But Pete's getting in there and he's going to rip it out, root and branch.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Ronnie, one of the things that bothers me most is you had Christopher Wray, the soon, thankfully, to be departed FBI director, a genuinely awful one at that. He was on 61 Minutes. Used to be 60 Minutes, but they added a minute. So 61 Minutes the other day talking about the threat from China. We know about the China spy balloon. We know about China buying up farmland near military installations.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
We know about China and their use of drones, their infiltration of our critical infrastructure. Dr. Jackson, China, which you being up in Congress, you're probably getting briefings on this. Obviously, we're not privy to is the biggest threat to our national security right now. There are other ones, but China is a pretty significant one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
They have to be laughing at us with this focus on DEI and away from lethality. This isn't the kind of thing this communist regime is focused on. Matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised. if they have, you know, intelligence agents in the United States actively pushing this stuff, knowing it's easier to destroy the United States from the inside out rather than the outside in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah, I agree with you. I think it is one of many reasons you got elected. But the weaponization was was revolting to many Americans. My second question, Mr. President, a big, huge news yesterday about this proposed Israel Hamas deal. Listen, it's clear that the Biden team was ready to capitulate to basically all of Hamas's demands. Biden was basically negotiating for Hamas. against Israel.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Dr. Jackson, I wanted to ask you a question about the Secret Service because you and I work together extensively. You know protective operations as well as anyone. You were a medical doctor with the White House Medical Union, the medical doctor. So you've been on a ton of these protective ops. Secret Service obviously struggled. We got an inauguration coming up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
I think the Secret Service has been a victim of mission creep. You and I both know amazing people that work there. The problem is if you ask a member of Congress, a Secret Service agent, or a guy who's a short order cook in a restaurant to do a million different things, then he can't do one thing really well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
The Secret Service is involved in all kinds of computer crimes, financial crimes, bank fraud, check kiting, counterfeit, national security special events, foreign dignitary protection. And the bottom line is they just you've got to focus on doing one thing well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
What are your thoughts in the next Trump administration about a Secret Service reform package that has them exclusively focusing on presidential and vice presidential security?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Did your team make clear to the terrorist Hamas that this is the best deal they were going to get, that it was only going to get worse from here when you take office on Monday? And basically, if they didn't accept the release of some of these hostages and stop demanding to remain in control, that they were going to be wiped out? Because there's no deal without you winning the election.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
No, I agree with you. You're sticking them in a box with hundreds of thousands of people and satellite offices and everything else. And the mission is critical, Dr. Jackson. If we lose the president, the entire history of the world changes outside of the obviously evil tragic consequences of that, the entire history of the world changes. It is a critical mission. Reform is necessary.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
But before that, let me tell you about our first sponsor. You having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Beams Dream Powder. Don't feel tired the next day. It ruins your whole life. Can't perform physically. You get brain fog. No good. Try Beam's Dream Powder. I took it last night.

Dr. Jackson, thanks for your time on the Pete Hegseth matter. Thanks for your service to the country and commenting on the Secret Service. We really appreciate you. Welcome back anytime. Thank you, Dan. Appreciate it, man. You got it. Folks, there's no, I mean, really, there's nobody with a more intricate knowledge of this process than him.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
He was nominated for a cabinet secretary spot and the Democrats did the exact same thing to him. A lot of people ask me how I lost weight. I lost 30 pounds. I was getting a little gooey. Goo's no good. Goo be gone. I don't like goo. So what did I do? I started lean. I called up my friend Miles, a BrickHouse nutrition. I said, Miles, I don't want to take these shots.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
I said, is there a product out there you and the doctors at BrickHouse can put together? He said, Dan, let me work on it. It took some time and they put together the most amazing product for losing weight, lean. It's impressive. It's a natural study of ingredients. It's studying target weight loss in similar ways.

Check this out. Welcome back.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
One of my favorite guests, a guy who's been on the show often. He is a real warrior for the cause. Our man, a guy we really like, Ned Ryan. Ned, thanks for joining us again. We really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah, man. We always like having you on because you're one of these guys like Sean Davis that, you know, doesn't have an allegiance to these faux party designations. More of the ideas that matter. And we appreciate that. So you're a particularly smart guy, too. And right before you came on, I was talking about the ending of the EO for birthright citizenship. There is a myth out there, Ned.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
That's a fact.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
that this is a decided legal issue. If you're born in the United States, you're a citizen. It is not. As a matter of fact, it has been an ongoing generational legal question about when they say subject to the jurisdiction thereof, do they mean political jurisdiction or territorial? The genius of Donald Trump is now we're going to get an answer now that it's been blocked by a judge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah. And it's never been fully litigated. And it's like these kind of things, these talking points that get thrown around. You and I live in the talking head space. We just do. There are some people like you and Sean Davis I respect. There are other people who are morons. And I hear stupid stuff all the time. They're like, you know, you can't scream fire in a movie theater.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
That is not the legal standard for free speech. Like, did you miss like 40 years of history? And you hear this thrown around all the time. You know, it's a settled legal question if you're born. It is absolutely not a settled legal question. And like I said, have you seen anything like this? Like Donald Trump bringing these issues to the forefront? You've been involved in politics a long time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
One of the arguments I made about why a second term Donald Trump was going to be valuable when other people were like, oh, he's going to be a lame duck. So number one, he is. No. Because you've got J.D. Vance. You've got this political legacy is going to live on with or without him. So he's not technically a lame duck. OK, he's going to have political power.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
But second, he has no worries about reelection. He came in. I've never seen anything like this. Boom. Shock and awe.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah, I'm actually glad you brought that up. And, you know, we have a really politically involved audience and it's nice, definitely not too in the weeds for them. They appreciate hearing this. A lot of people don't know that, that there is this insulated layer of high-end government bureaucrats. They're not all bad guys. I mean, you know, there are people I know in the Secret Service now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
It's a level above. Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, it's a lot of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
but you have GS 14, GS 15, and then you start getting into the SCS level and they become, you're right, kind of this insulated layer, you know, almost to quote, you know, I'm saying this word in a sarcastic way, but to protect the deep state from any implementation of a Donald Trump command, like, oh, I don't know, man, the SC, and you're seeing it with the DEI stuff where they're just telling DEI people, just recategorize your job as like a holistic meditation or whatever.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I agree. We're talking to Ned Ryan. Ned, your new book out, which is pretty incredible. You guys should check it out. Give it a plug. I want to ask you another question too before we go.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Well, Mr. President, your team has actual proof of this from Biden's own mouth. He's not that bright. He gives a speech yesterday, Mr. President Biden, and he says, these are his exact words. He says, this is the exact framework I've been proposing since May. Okay, so why didn't they agree to it then until you won the election? He basically made himself look like an idiot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
So it's an excellent book. It's an excellent book. One of the things the book addresses, which I think is perfectly timed for the Trump administration, is the founding fathers who I adore. Their vision of what this country was going to be was unmatched. The Constitution is the greatest governing document. documented the history of planet Earth.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
However, they assumed we would have men of integrity in government moving forward, and they assumed wrong. So when you look at the Congress, specifically the House of Representatives, they assume that these people would jealously guard their power, like the power of the purse.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
and would not empower an administrative state because god forbid you spend money without us asking but what happened is they didn't anticipate that these congressmen become such cowards and they would not want to take credit for this bankrupted country so what they do is they write loose regulations and they let the bureaucrats then go and spend the money for them and that's how you wind up with the student loan debacle yeah i mean if having talked with with members i'm doing a documentary on american leviathan hopefully it's coming out in february
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Ned Ryan, last question for you. We always appreciate your time. So, you know, I talk to a lot of business people. I like to invest, and I'm fascinated by entrepreneurship is my thing. And I'm always fascinated by CEOs and business leaders who are constantly telling you what they can't do. I'm like, that's not what we're paying you for.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
He acknowledged there's no deal without you winning.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
We're paying you for a big, hairy, audacious vision of what you think the company can do, not what it can't do. If you love or hate Elon Musk, Elon Musk is one of these guys, eh, I'm going to go to space. Eh, that's crazy. Okay, watch me. That's kind of the thing with Donald Trump. You know, I'm not lionizing anyone, but he just, he doesn't seem to understand his own limits.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
And I don't mean that in an extra constitutional, super constitutional way. I just mean like he sees the United States as his powerhouse. And he's like, well, why are we putting up with this crap from China? Like, I don't understand. Why are we letting them keep American hostages? Like what idiot told you that was a good thing? Like he's not always telling America what they can't do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
He's always asking his people, Hey, why not?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
We're talking to Ned Ryan, author of the great book, American Leviathan. Pick it up, Ned. I got to run, but I'll just leave you with this. When he was interviewing on my podcast a couple of weeks before the election, you know, his daughter won an ice skate in Waldman Rink in New York. And because New York City ran, it never worked. And he was like, just turn it over to me. I'll fix it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
It took him six months and he fixed it. That's Donald Trump. Ned Ryan, thanks so much for your time. Pick up the book, folks, American Leviathan. Really appreciate it. Thanks for coming on.

You just heard Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah, I've said that on the air many times. I believe Joe Biden's weakness led to Ukraine, led to China's saber rattling and all of this stuff. Mr. President, Americans voted for you the third straight time. You're right about that, Dan.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
It's not like meatloaf, two out of three ain't bad. Americans are expecting shock and awe to repair the really unimaginable damage from the Biden years. This guy has been a forest fire for America. I think the momentum is there.

for what you would call one big beautiful reconciliation bill and let me just explain in 10 seconds or less why you've got the momentum now the country's behind you even though we have a slim margin in the house it's one big cause we can all get behind when we can fix the border the defense industry our national defense the tax policy we can do it all the momentum is there have you changed your mind on that are you committed to one bill or maybe two separate bills
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Yeah, and I think you and your rallies have become a source of serious political capital and power. If we had one thing, remember Newt had the contract with America? Americans will rally behind this. And Mr. President, do you want to be the one congressman to sink this thing? With your true social feed alone, you can end this man or woman's political career.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
We have the ability right now to do big things. I personally think one big bill is the way to go, but obviously you've got a team of people around you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Good point. We're talking to President Donald J. Trump. Mr. President, there was unexplained drone incursions in the northeast, an area you're obviously familiar with being a New Yorker like me, that tri-state region. They appear to be a pretty major security threat from good sources I have to the homeland. Not all of them, but the unexplained ones, a lot of them.

When you take office next week, Americans are scared about this. They're a little anxious, and nobody's panicked about it, but it appears we don't have control of our own skies. Can we get an answer to what this is, who is controlling them? Obviously, with the respect for national secrets, we get that. And what we're doing to control this, it seems like a really big problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Mr. President, one last question your team asked for 15 minutes. I'm going to respect your time, so I'll wrap it up here. You hinted at a recent story I've been practically obsessed about for a long time, the identity of the infamous January 6th pipe bomber. It seems bizarre to me that the FBI continues to manipulate the American public about this case.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
The phone records saying they didn't have the phone records, that they were corrupted when the phone company said they weren't corrupted. They have all this video that appears to be manipulated. And you seem to hint that they may know the identity of this person. They just don't want you to know. I believe that is the case.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Can we get an answer between you, Pam Bondi, and hopefully Kash Patel on who this person is and have the FBI open the books? Because I believe this is a huge scandal and a massive cover-up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with President Donald Trump and Tim Burchett, Dr. Ronny Jackson and Ned Ryun
Mr. President, thank you so much for spending time. Congratulations on a massive political win for reorienting the Republican Party in a better, more effective direction with actual diversity, not the left's version of it. And I hope you have a wonderful time on Monday. America is breathing a collective sigh of relief now that you won. Thanks for everything you've done for the country.

Well, I appreciate that. And we've been a great fan of your work. You have been a big supporter of the Freedom Caucus, the Tea Party movement. You've been representing your district for a really long time. We go way back from when I ran in Maryland. And unfortunately, we didn't pull that victory. I wish we had. But you have a really important position now with the Freedom Caucus. And there is a...
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
a kind of a debate, I think that's fair enough to say, I won't call it an argument, but a debate going on about do we do, as President Trump would say, one big, beautiful reconciliation bill, or do we lead more, which I believe the House is leaning towards, or do we lean more towards the Senate side?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
both controlled by Republicans, where they think it's more tactical to do two bills and take kind of a victory. I'm just going to lay out quickly what I think should happen and tell me if I'm crazy or not. I think, Congressman, the momentum is there right now after the election between Doge and all of the political capital President Trump has built. I think we go for it. We go for it now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Thanks for watching.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
sure so uh... the freedom caucus position has always been weak we just have to do something right away i mean uh... you know that the the president's running out of money to do that do the work on the border that he needs to do to start the deportation of the criminal legal uh... aliens uh... so uh... we were agnostic whether or not it's one bill or two bills we just needed to go and go quickly uh... because like you say we need to build on the capital that we have we need to deliver the president of victory and if we can do it in one big beautiful bill quickly uh... we're all for it uh... and i i think
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You know, our philosophy is kind of push the house along to where I do believe we'll probably get a bill out of the budget committee tomorrow, maybe. And then, you know, we'll start this process along.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Yeah, I saw that one of the numbers they're looking at for cuts. Hold on, let me get some water. You're a doctor, right? I may need you. I'm kidding. Excuse me. So one of the numbers I saw, in the Wall Street Journal column was they're looking at 4.5 trillion in cuts. That's a big number. Is that realistic? And believe me, Congressman, I'm hoping that happens.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
My issue with it is every time we talk about cutting some congressman, Republican or Democrat, it's bipartisan. You've seen it. It's like, well, we can't cut that USAID program for a farmer in Accra, Ghana, because he's buying products from this congressman's district in Iowa or Wisconsin. We're going to go bankrupt if we keep that up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Is there a feeling up there like, hey, it's time to put these parochial interests aside and do what's best for the country? Because if they're not, this thing's going to die on the vine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Look, I think you're right. The number, you know, for the $4.5 trillion is actually the CBO estimate of what the tax cuts will cost. The number we're talking about for spending reduction is like $2.5 trillion or so. But, Dan, let's put that in perspective. That's $2.5 trillion over 10 years. So that's $250 billion a year. Our deficit's $2 trillion.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Mike, there's no one out there who's done more to uncover the deep state money flows in you. I mean, you can be humble about it all you want, but I think everybody's starting to recognize now that's true. It's why you're in such high demand for these shows.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And remember, Elon yesterday at the White House said we should cut $1 trillion a year. So the numbers we're even talking about and getting hesitation from some Republican colleagues is way below the number that we actually have to do. Because like you said, we're right. We had a vote on cutting USAID by 50%, not eliminating it, 50%.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And a majority of the Republicans voted against that cut last year.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Yeah. And we're talking to Congressman Andy Harris from Maryland. You've been there. You know, you've been there. It's not your first term. It's not your first rodeo. You've worked your way up the ranks. You've sadly seen this for a long time. I mean, if I'm correct, you got elected right around the Tea Party revolution. I mean, I was in Maryland.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I don't remember exactly the year, but that's generally the timeline, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
That's absolutely right. It was a 2010 election. It was a Tea Party election. We went to Washington to cut the deficit and restore fiscal sanity. Just to remind everyone, the deficit at that time was $300 billion, only $300 billion, and we thought that was a large deficit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Right. Remember the stimulus package when we first crossed the trillion dollar deficit under Obama? And we were like, this is the end of the world. My gosh, now it's two trillion. We're 30 trillion dollars in debt. And I think I was saying Americans are like, is there even a path to pay this thing down? But that kind of leads to my next question.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
The Democrats up on Capitol Hill, and I'm not giving them political advice. I obviously want them to lose. Their ideological position is spend us into bankruptcy. I don't want that to win because I want America to win. However, fighting against this Department of Government Efficiency, Congressman, you deal with Democrats all the time up on the hill. Let's be candid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
They're usually tactically smarter than this. Their ideology is ridiculous, but they're usually not this dumb. This is one of the biggest political losers of all time that I'm really shocked that they don't just come out and go, you know what? We like government, Social Security, Medicare, that's it. It's all great, whatever, their position. But yeah, there's some inefficiencies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
But this USAID scandal, I've been making the case, and I'll let you take it from here, that I think the biggest thing if we had to triage our concerns about it is that taxpayer money, very simply,
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And if we're going to have good government, we need a lean and efficient government. That's not what they're saying at all. They're calling Elon a Nazi, a fascist. This is an absolute loser for them in the long run.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I couldn't agree with you more. I hope they keep on fighting Doge. I hope they keep on talking about how we need to restore all the funding to USAID so that we can do transgender comic books. I mean, you're right. They are politically tone deaf on this, but that's good for our side.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
It's great for our side. It's just kind of shocking to me because it pains me to say it, but I engage in political realpolitik and not fantasy land. That's why I think the show does okay for people. You know, when you went through the Tea Party, I'll give you a perfect example of how the left is usually better at messaging.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I remember seeing campaign ads against you when you first ran for reelection. And you may have put out a positive statement about the fair tax one time, which is a great proposal. Consumption tax in lieu.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
in lieu of an income tax and the democrats were hitting you on andy harris wants a big tax hike that's not at all with you can look it up but the point is like the democrats are usually better at lying than this this is the kind of thing where it's just just come out and say okay elon's right
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Like maybe a paper system that goes into a mine 200 feet below the ground for OPM that government employees manage by hand so we can't even get people to retire the right way. Maybe that's a bad idea. Like that's the kind of thing that the same Democrat be like, oh, okay, a little bipartisan agreement on that one. Like this is a genuine loser.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
No, they've bought into the lunacy, and, you know, they're still with this attitude of, you know, if Trump supports it, it must be bad. And I think, you know, they forget what happened back in November. They forget that the American people actually view the federal government with a question mark, and they applaud what's going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
was confiscated from citizens at the end of a barrel of a gun, which is what the IRS does, you pay it or else, or you're going to jail, and was then used to fund a lot of things, ideology, overseas LGBTQIA stuff. However, it was undoubtedly used to fund censorship and regime change, both abroad and here at home against populist movements.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And, again, look, as long as they want to stay tone deaf, I'm all for it. You go ahead. I'll have a discussion any day about whether or not we should, again, be doing transgender comic books with federal taxpayer dollars in foreign countries.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Right. Congressman Andy Harris, we're talking to Congressman Andy Harris from Maryland, House Freedom Caucus. Congressman, one of the things that concerns me is you guys in the Freedom Caucus have been for a really long time fighting for some degree of fiscal sanity.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And I want to say in advance, I am absolutely on team House Freedom Caucus, period, dispositive statement, put an exclamation point at the end. However, here comes the kind of the buyer beware. We are not a majority of the majority in the House. I wish we were. It's kind of sad we're not, but we're not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You've got a lot of swing state Republicans who will vote for any amount of spending as long as it makes them look good in their parochial district there, right? So how do we overcome that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You know, the House Freedom Caucus, there were even some, you know, rhinos in the news media who will attack you guys as if you're the problem when I think you're the only wing of the Republican Party speaking common sense. We can't just tinker around the edges anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Does the Freedom Caucus have a plan here with President Trump and the MAGA crowd who are really interested in transformational change to win the narrative war? Because sadly, that matters.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Well, I think we won the narrative war with the American people. There's no question about it. So what we need, like you say, for a year, for a decade now, it's our 10th anniversary of having the Freedom Caucus. For 10 years, we've been talking about fiscal sanity. The real change now is that we have someone like, again, Elon Musk in the Oval Office yesterday saying, oh, by the way, we should cut.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
the deficit by $1 trillion next year, and the president nods in approval. The president, with us in the White House last week, came right out and said, gee, why can't you guys just balance the budget now? We're finding all this wasteful spending. Why can't you do it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Practically, it'll take us a couple of years, but we have the oomph of Elon Musk and the president now behind what we've been calling for for a decade.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Congressman is kind of a, we're talking to Congressman Andy Harris, kind of a bit of a wonky question, but to the audience, you mentioned something before and you kind of stirred my cerebral cortex here. Started thinking about this. It's a bit wonky, but you know what I'm talking about here. Can we eliminate the pernicious effects of this government scoring system?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Because what you said before is accurate, that when these entities come out and say it's $4.5 trillion in cuts, they count tax cuts as a loss to government revenue using this antiquated scoring system. However, Congressman, as you know well, There is no evidence that that's actually true. When George W. Bush enacted that large tax cut, government revenue increased. You can go look it up, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I'm not making it up. When Ronald Reagan cut taxes, government revenue didn't go down. It went up. When Donald Trump cut taxes, absent COVID, the tax revenue went up. This is a real messaging problem for us. How do we fix that so we don't have to deal with these ridiculous assertions like tax cuts cost the government money?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I see those as the top two most critical things the Democrats are freaking out about. What are your thoughts on it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Well, you're absolutely right. And when you say, you know, there is no evidence that that's true, there's actually evidence that that's false, their claims, because you pointed out the three instances. I mean, there is actually evidence that it's false. But the Congressional Budget Office, you know, we've tried to reform it. We're going to try again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
The Democrats will stop us because you do need to have 60 votes in the Senate to reform the Congressional Budget Office. But you're absolutely right. that they don't view history as it should be viewed, which is every time we've had a significant tax cut, it will result in increased revenue. Likewise, if we allow this tax cut to expire, the economic benefit will be horrendous.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And the reason why we're going to balance this on paper is because we are going to assume that by extending these tax cuts and by the regulatory changes of this administration, and some of the deficit reduction. We are actually going to reduce the deficit, and we are going to grow the economy. And that is worth a lot of money.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Growing the economy is worth a lot of revenue, as you know, because it happened with the first Trump tax cuts. Congressman, I got to... You understand the economics of it, you know?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Well, I'm not a doctor like you're a... The Congressman's an actual medical doctor. I tried to get in medical school, wasn't smart enough. But I think I appreciate the compliment, but... I just want to say in my not defense, you don't have to be smart to figure this out. Like what you just said is true.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You can actually go to the Treasury's website and say, geez, what happened after Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush cut taxes? Oh, look, government revenue went up. It's not a mystery, man. Just go and put government revenue by year and look it up. That's what bothers me so much. You're a medical doctor. I'm not. It doesn't require any intelligence at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
to go punch it in a website and look yourself. And they will still make this stupid argument that tax cuts are correlated with lower revenue. I'm glad you cleared that up. And I really wish we could clean up this damn scoring system because it's killing us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Congressman Andy Harris, can you come back with us next week and give us an update if you're available on what's happening with this reconciliation bill? Because this is the biggest legislative item right now. If you have some time next week, we'd love to have you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Absolutely, Dan.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You got it. Thank you for coming on. That's great. Jim, sign him up. Got it on tape. He is a very powerful member of the Freedom Caucus. And again, known him a long time. Nothing to do with my spreadsheets outlook on stuff. But if you're going to get significant cuts, the gentleman you just heard is going to be a part of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Because that Freedom Caucus is really, really coalesced around this idea of finally, finally getting some actual spending cuts for this bloated slob of a government right now, feeding at the trough of the American taxpayer. Another great interview next, but first let's get to our next sponsor. Hey, one of my favorite traditions is choosing New Year's resolutions.

So I was scrolling through the Internet. and doing some show prep for later. Tomorrow, the podcast, it's a nonstop show prep cycle. I just enjoy it, but I do so much.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And I saw this Congressman, he's been on the show many times, Congressman Tim Burchard. He was on CNN, you know, doing what he does well, debating with a deranged left-wing lunatic who seems to be fabricating fictitious talking points by the bundle. And he did a great job welcoming to the show Congressman Tim Burchard from the wonderful state of Tennessee. Thanks for your time today.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Well, you've been doing such a good job. You know, I appreciate that you go on CNN. I know a lot of people have a different opinion and they say we should boycott these networks. I think it's a mistake. You have a particularly valuable skill. You're a very good debater on TV. And unlike me, you're calmer about it, which is a good thing. I'm learning and I'm getting there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
When debating politics, I get fired up. But she was making the commentator, Pamela Brown, whoever it was, was making some ridiculous point. And I'll play the clip on my podcast tomorrow, but I have you here to talk about it directly. That, you know, they have access, these Doge people, to these, you know, sensitive government systems.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Now, number one, the only way to clean up government systems of fraud, waste, and abuse is to have access. But that's such a phony, fraudulent talking point. Nobody cared when the IRS and Lois Lerner were credibly accused of targeting conservatives using IRS data. Nobody complained, congressmen on the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
or made a big political point out of the OPM hack by China where my information was stolen too. I mean, they don't really care about that. They just care about the gravy train drying up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Well, it reflects in your leadership style. We're talking to Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee, frequent guest on the show. Congressman, you know, Democrat hypocrisy is nothing new. I've argued over and over that they don't care about looking like hypocrites. They don't. They care more about hierarchy and staying in power. They don't care.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
They know the media will protect them from making two separate points. So I got two things for you here. Number one is now all of a sudden they don't like Elon and they don't like billionaires. They don't care about George Soros, though. They love him, actually. But they don't care about criticizing billionaire George Soros.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And secondly, I'm sure you remember, as I do, when Elon was a green champion for them through this electric vehicle car company called Tesla, they loved Elon. So nothing they ever say is true. They have based their entire political guiding ethos, their credo, on a fraud. Nothing with them is ever principled.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And, you know, and if the Democrats congressman want to forfeit over some money to us and collectively make us both billionaires, I'm sure we would, you know, gladly accept. I mean, nothing they tell you is true. But I wanted to hit this talking point because you're you're up on Capitol Hill and you're dealing with this crop of people up there all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
This is, the Democrats, I think we can both agree, Congressman Burchett, although their ideas are poppycock garbage and they're just misguided, their political tactics are typically better. They're not, they're very good at acting with like a Borg Star Trek personality because they're collectivists by nature. Hopey changey, they're typically good at messaging and using the media.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
What I can't reconcile is this is such a loser for them, effectively backing government waste. That's what they're doing. I mean, the Doge is pointing out clear examples of sex changes in Guatemala and other stuff. This is such a loser to them. My theory on it is the gravy train has to be so good for them
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
that they've made the calculus, and I'd like to get your input on this, that they got to keep the money even if it costs them their political jobs, because they will go down in the midterms if they pick government waste as a hill to die on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Wait till they start getting into the Pentagon ways. There are going to be Republicans, too, like, well, not that weapons program. That's in my district. But we're going to be like, hey, the Pentagon says they don't want it. Why should we keep paying for it? Congressman, I got a few minutes left, but I wanted to you don't need any advice from me on how to talk on TV.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You've had so many viral hits on CNN from being a good debater. I've argued yet you were a master debater. debater. You have to say those words slowly. You'll figure that out later. But there are two things I think we should really, really focus on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I mean, Bill Clinton, you get where I'm going with that. But that's a good one. You caught me off guard. I like that. See, this guy's good on his feet. But I got about a minute and a half left here that we should focus on. Even if you are a supporter of unchecked entitlement programs that need reform, you're like Social Security.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
We should still make the point, even if you are in that direction, this money is being stolen from the same pot of money you're going to get. So even if we don't even look at Social Security, there is still a one pot of government money. And the second thing is they keep talking about like, well, you're robbing food aid from people in Accra, Ghana, whatever. OK, we're not robbing anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
People need food aid here. The United States comes first. So I got about a minute left. Your thoughts on that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
But before that, let me tell you about our first sponsor. What you do online is not private. Far from it. Data brokers are tracking and creating a profile of your online activities.

Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I got to tell you, having you on the Doge, Congressman Tim Burchett, going to wrap this up, but having you on the Doge with Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Doge committee, is going to be a tremendous messaging asset. And please continue to go on these liberal networks. There's no sense preaching to the choir. You're doing a great job, and we really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I'm going to cover your hit with Pamela Brown actually on tomorrow's show too. So thanks a lot for coming on today. We really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Love you guys too, man. Love you in Tennessee. And he's a good man. No squishes on this show. You know the rules. But I met him personally. Super nice guy. Remember when we did the show in Nashville, Jim? He stopped by and just a great guy. So you do got some good people up there. That Doge committee is going to be where it's at.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
That's where we're going to start really, really wringing out the inefficiencies out of this company. Another great interview next, but first let's get to our next sponsor. Have you seen the news from some economists forecasting a depression, not a recession, depression by the year 2030?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
We could be in a perfect storm if Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. Smaller workforce usually means a smaller tax base. Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, we could have a really, really big problem. So what are you doing now to protect your family for the future?

Finally, we talked with The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles about his viral debate with a group of LGBTQIABIOPC2 plus one, I'm losing track of it all, activists. It was amazing. Here it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
we love this guest we've had him on the show many times he has his own show which is uh really wonderful the michael knowles show which is eponymously named after him and uh some of his segments have recently gone uh viral on x and other platforms he engaged in a very respectful but substantive debate with a group of transgender activists about the issue. And some of the cuts are just amazing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And we wanted to have him on to talk about that and the news of the day. Michael Knowles, always good to have you back. Thanks for joining us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
So you were great on that debate. It's gone nuclear on X. Everybody's been sharing it. One, you have an asset I don't have in these debates. I get so angry at stupid talking points, sometimes it's just hard to contain it. But you're debating with this, you know, activist there for the transgender cause about what a man and a woman is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And at one point, the person you're debating says that they cite their lived experience somehow attacking you that you can't comment on these items and these issues. And your comeback was great. I have lived experience. I'm alive right now. But just to sum up the question, I find it interesting these liberal activists will comment on all kinds of matters they have no direct experience with at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Spying, law enforcement, guns, abortion, everything. But yet when you comment on males or females, it's not your lived experience.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
yeah and and you you were fantastic i watched multiple clips from it and i don't think there was a you know usually there's at least one moment where there's he seems to be you know you i've debated a lot of people on my show live and there's someone always throws some curveball at you and it's not necessarily you don't know about it but you just didn't see that coming because it's such a weird thing there's there's no portion of that debate and i encourage you to follow him on x michael knowles uh k-n-o-w-l-e-s it's worth your time his show is amazing
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
but just watch and you'll see how it's done i i'd like you to comment on this and i may have asked you this before forgive me i don't i'm trying to be redundant but my theory on this whole lgbtqia biopoc two plus one i mean it really it just keeps i'm not even sure yeah i'm really not being like disrespectful but i just really don't know where it ends anymore is that this is a really this is another
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
progressive kind of proxy fight where it's just a war on objective truth so we as conservatives you know Thomas soul calls it the conflict divisions right we have this uh worldview that there is objective truth like you just said and facts and data will help us get there Liberals don't like that because if there's objective truth, there are objective values. Everything has to be discretionary.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
And that's where government fills the hole. We get to treat people differently. We get to screw this guy over, screw that guy over. They need to have government be the arbiter and be subjective in how they treat people. So they can't have simple facts out there. Like, you ever see their war on math? It's the same thing with their war on gender. They know it's true. They're not stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
They just can't have any objective truth out there. So it's just a proxy fight for filling the vacuum with subjective government.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
We're talking to Mike Benz. He's at Mike Benz, cyber BNZ on X. Strongly encourage you to follow him. Again, PhD course in deep state logistics and how they work. Mike, I love how the media here, Margaret Brennan and these other weekend tool bags, how they're feigning ignorance about the fungibility of money. She was on with Senator Hagerty this weekend.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Yeah, we're talking to Michael Knowles. He has his own show. You should check it out, the Michael Knowles Show. It's fantastic. Michael, do you think that this Democrat hill to die on that they've chosen in the culture wars and the government wars, right now they're choosing to die on the Doge Hill because they love government. That's how it usually winds up in their pocket.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
So they don't want the rock getting overturned. But on the culture war, it really seems like they're not gonna let this go. I mean, they just got smoked in an election. You'd think there'd be some observance in the mirror of, hey, we've got a problem here, but you just don't see it in mass. You see a couple of Carville types coming out and saying, hey, this was stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
but do you i'm going to play a clip when we're off the air next uh with you and from this alex carp on cnbc he was like hey i'm a democrat but this is the democrat party committing suicide right in front of our eyes i mean do you see any kind of introspection like in the bill clinton democrat leadership council era where they said hey we got to cut this crap out and get back to good old-fashioned american values within my party or is it just the fallen on the sword thing
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
If you want to watch Michael's full debate, it's on an episode of a show called Jubilee, by the way. You can see the clips of it on X. Check them out, Michael Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S. Michael, I love your perspective. You're a very insightful guy, and we've been friends a long time on the current situation in Ukraine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You know, one of your colleagues at The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, I did the show about a year ago, and Ben and I had a good 10-minute conversation about this. And it was interesting because when we took the time to listen to each other, I think we both found some value, even though we have a different perspective on it and what others had to say. The left doesn't do that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
What's really frustrating me about this argument is it's become so completely emotional that it's devoid of reason, logic, and facts. The argument has become Putin bad, Zelensky good. Which is, it's almost childlike, the argument. It's gotten to the point where you say something like, hey man, I'm open to the idea that we need international partners. We all live on this rock called Earth.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
We played the clip at the beginning of the podcast and radio show. And she's like, well, there's no evidence they're funding sex changes in Guatemala. If she just would have looked at usaspending.gov, she could have actually seen it. But God forbid the truth gets in the way. But I focused on that before.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
But is anyone going to present an avenue and an off-ramp to this war that actually makes sense? Because I haven't heard it yet. And the first thing from simpletons is, You're definitely a Putin puppet. It's just really distracting. And now with this news about Zelensky and the rare earth minerals thing, I'm thinking to myself, Trump's the spreadsheets guy. He wants an answer.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Nobody's giving it to him. And then they get mad at him for saying, Hey man, produce the goods or get off the shot clock.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
The UNRRA thing is critical because she's pretending that the money that wound up in this UN refugee group that the various reports and money trails, that the fungibility of money, they got money, and then you used it basically to associate with Palestinian-based terrorist groups. She's acting like it's not fungible. But this is the business model for USAID, isn't it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Yeah, I couldn't agree more. That was really unbelievably well stated. The simple minds are not on our side. I am perfectly willing to concede that Ukraine didn't deserve this. Ukrainian people didn't deserve that. No one's saying that. No one's even mildly suggesting that. But treating this like, oh, good guy, bad guy, and leaving out the big, bold bullet point that the guy's got nuclear weapons.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I'm not saying it's got to dictate everything we do. It's just hopelessly naive and stupid. And I don't want to be told I'm a Putin puppet for recognizing reality. That's a real thing. Michael, you have a great show. You're my wife's favorite podcast. She loves you. You're the best. I love your show, too, because it's so well done. It's called The Michael Knowles Show. K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
The Dan Bongino Show

He's fantastic. Michael, thanks a lot for your time. Great job on that debate. Really, really good work. We appreciate it.

Thank you, brother. Well said. Michael Knowles, folks. Yes, she does. She loves the show. It's amazing. He's a really, as you can tell, extremely intelligent guy. And both me and her are like magnets towards people who make us. I always want to be the dumbest guy in the room. Why would you want to be the dumbest guy in the room? No, I'm serious.

Talking to Mike Benz. Mike, Jerry Baker has an interesting piece just dropped at the Journal. You know, not a big MAGA guy, but, you know, that's fine. I read all kinds of sources. And he makes a really good point here. Something I kind of addressed earlier, he just says a little bit differently.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
You know, the Democrats are dying on this USAID hill, not because they really care about Guatemalan sex change operations. I mean, it is fitting to their ideology, but that's not really it. What they're really defending is an unaccountable government, which is the collectivist communist dream.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
I mean, when you're a communist, like most of these progressive hardcore leftists are, and you believe in government controlling the means of production, one of the best ways to do that is to fleece taxpayer money and start
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Turn it over to the communists who like nothing more than the opaqueness of USAID funding and then use it to break down a merit based capitalist, a constitutional republic and populist movements around the world. I mean, they're dying on this hill to defend what I'm getting at is the unaccountability of the operation. It's not even specific things. That's what's going on here.

I think we're saying the same thing. I may have said it before. You're always, of course, more eloquent than I am, but I got a few minutes left. But what I'm getting at is the... Yeah, yeah, but it's the name of a band, by the way, folks, in case you're the whole pussy riot thing. I'm sorry. We're not referring to anyone's anatomy for SEC purposes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Yeah, look it up, folks. It's the real thing. I can see it now. Jim's looking at me like he knows what you're talking about. What I was getting at before, and you said it again better, is this otherism. That Democrats, what I was getting at is they really don't care if you get a sex change or not. They don't care if you have nuts or you don't. And in this case, I am talking about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
They don't care. That's not what it's about. What it's about is if they can find an identity politics group and use it to say to this pseudo victim class, Those guys hate you in the populist movement, therefore rebel against them. They don't give a damn about your cause.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
As long as your cause, it's like the anti-anti-communist David Harris approach, is against, that's the only reason they're doing it. Is that my answer?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
That's expressvpn.com slash Bongino. First up today on this Sunday special, we talked with our deep state PhD specialist, Mike Benz, about the USAID scandal.

This guy's social media feed is like a PhD level course in deep state money flows, influence campaigns.

Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
Or Mike, what about religious minorities, Jews in the United States or ethnic minorities like Asians in the United States getting into college? They're like, no, no, they don't count, man, because they're white adjacent. You're like, what the hell is white adjacent? I got about a minute left. Take it.

Mike, I got to run, but I'm throwing this out there. I saw you said last week, and I'm sure you got a thousand takers that you needed like two hours to go over this. When we open up our new studio in a couple of weeks, I'm happy to promote all your content. You are, Jim will be there. You are more than welcome. I will give you the whole two hours. We can do a weekend podcast. It'll blow up. So-

I got to run. Thank you so much. You would be, man, because of you, not because of me. Mike Benz, he is at Mike Benz Cyber. You see why we have him on. You want a diagnosis of the deep state, go to people who know more than you. Here's my advice for you folks, quickly. Always be the dumbest person in the room. What do you mean?
The Dan Bongino Show

Because if you're hanging out in a room where you're the smartest person, you're not going to learn anything. Always hang around people smarter than you. You will leave better off. Another great interview next, but first let's get to our next sponsor. Folks, moink. You want some high quality, delicious tasting meat that supports American farmers. The meat is absolutely fantastic.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Mike Benz, Rep. Andy Harris, Rep. Tim Burchett and Michael Knowles
They sent me a freezer full of this stuff. It said the four companies control over 80% of the U.S. meat industry. China's can, uh, many reports say China controls the largest portion of us pork. They're using tactics to crush American family farms. And with the additives are putting in our food. Americans are stuck with sketchy meat. You don't want that. Let me tell you about a company.

I want to welcome to the show a congressman from New Jersey, one of the areas impacted by this UAP UFO ongoing scandal right now. He's been very public about it, and his constituents are concerned. Congressman Jeff Van Drew, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it.

Wanted to have him on to talk about this assassination of the healthcare CEO in New York. I think you're going to like this interview. Check this interview out with Michael Francese. So I've had this guest on both my radio show and my show that used to be on Fox. And he's always been great. He is a reformed member of the mob in New York City.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Congressman, this is obviously a huge scandal. And the reason I say that is you're obviously a member of Congress. If the government does not know what's going on, despite the obvious concerns of your constituents, then that's a huge scandal. The alternate scenario that they do know what's going on and they're lying to both you and your constituents, it's still a scandal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So where do we stand with this? Are you getting any answers? I mean, you're a sitting congressman. Are they giving you the runaround, too?

Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Well, we're talking to Congressman Jeff Van Drew from New Jersey about this UFO growing scandal now. There's a lot of people concerned.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
congressman i'm an occam's razor guy like you like just give me the simplest answer um it's it's not that there isn't a history of the government lying to us about foreign infiltration of our airspace i mean it was only a year ago i was in surgery in a hospital i get out i turn on the tv and there's video of a freaking chinese spy balloon flying over the country and the biden administration playing stupid i mean it's it's not that this hasn't happened
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And I saw him this weekend on a documentary I was watching. I'm obsessed with mob stories called Fear City. And he was so great. And he's been a good friend to the show. I wanted to have him back. Michael Frances. Michael, welcome back to the show. So good to have you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So anybody attacking you, oh my gosh, the idea of Iranian drones coming from offshore onto New Jersey is simply crazy. How crazy is it? We've had like 14th century balloon technology violate our airspace for a week at a time. This has happened before.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people agree with you. Talking to Congressman Jeff Van Drew from New Jersey. Congressman, first, I agree with you 100 percent about, you know, tell me I'm wrong. I have no problem. I'd rather I prefer I am wrong. I believe it's a foreign adversary as well, based on the Occam's razor conclusion.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
If it isn't and it's a couple of guys, you know, having a couple of beers and messing around with some drones. Great. I'm more than happy to put that out on the air. I have no desire to be right while sacrificing our national security. However, Holman Jenkins is a really good reporter at the Wall Street Journal. He's been reporting on this for a long time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
He has an op-ed out in October, and he addresses this question. This is October, so this is before this whole thing happened, obviously. And he says, listen, a lot of these UFO, UAP phenomenon, the military knows what they are. They're likely foreign actors doing what you and I think they're doing, surveilling sensitive locations.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You know, I saw you this weekend on Fierce City. Obviously, you know the documentary, you're in it. You're in for a long time, by the way. And just before we get to this assassination on the CEO and the suspect in custody, you know, you were really great in there. And I think people forget
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And because the military is so afraid of looking inadequate and incompetent that they're using this UFO kind of extraterrestrial, you know, ET wink and nod as a distraction to keep you from looking into them going, hey, man, you guys have an answer for this or what? What do you make of that? And military leaders address this with you at all?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Congressman, actually talking about you on the news right now. You made some news with this story today, so I'm glad to have you. Last question. I know you're busy. I'll let you go. Talking to Congressman Jeff Drew from the New Jersey area where this UAP UFO story is made national news. Congressman, I've gotten a ton of questions from listeners about, well, Dan, why do you think New Jersey?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Why is New Jersey not the only place, but it seems to be the epicenter of this activity? I've thrown out, I'm speculating, I've been honest about that. If I knew, I'd tell you conclusively, but New Jersey is a media center, no question about it. It'd be a lot more difficult to fly one over New York City with LaGuardia, JFK, restricted airspace.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
How powerful those families were, those mob families in New York prior to that commission case where Rudy Giuliani took them down. I mean, everything from the buildings industry to concrete to drug running. I mean, they were really involved in just about everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Most of the people who do media in New York live in Northern New Jersey. A lot of the finance people, a lot of influential people live there as well. You've got critical infrastructure there, military bases, you've got Bedminster. If you were gonna try to cause a stir and say, hey, look, this is what we can do to you, I'd want to do it in Northern New Jersey.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
It's probably the best place to do it and get it on the news.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Yeah. I got this huge lump in my neck. It's been, it looks like Quatto from total recall. Uh, it hurts a little bit. Do you know what it is, doc? I have no idea, but don't sweat it. Take a St. Joseph's baby aspirin, everything will be okay. I'm not, I'm not as, Congressman, I'm glad you don't have the faith in some of these people either that my listeners don't.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Listen, as you said before, just prove us wrong. Come to the table, give you a classified brief. Yeah, at least you could go to your constituents and say, hey, listen, there's things I can't share. However, I've been assured this is what it is. It's at least not a threat when we're free to talk about more. Well, they won't even tell you that, which has me really worried.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
That's the worst answer. If what you just said is correct, that's the worst answer. If that they don't know, scares me even worse. Congressman, thanks a lot for coming on. If you get any updates, you're welcome back anytime. Really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show

Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Jim, if you ever do a sequel to your Dan Bongino Show survival guide book, if you don't put the story in about how they should have listened and we could have saved them $100 million, and really, me and you, we can't be friends anymore. They should have listened, right? Nobody knows. If you're really smart, you know what it is. If you're like...
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
If you're like a PhD in P1s, we warned them against drafting a guy. Two interceptions. I told you. I watched every week. Jim, we tried desperately to save you 100 milli. And you didn't listen. And now you know. We need Roger Scarron to talk about that. They're around and now they're finding out. Did we not call it? Jim, can you find that segment at some point so we can play that again?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You've got to. Like one day. You'll see what I mean. All right. I got a great guest for you here. Welcoming back to the show, a good friend and a guy who calls balls and strikes. Ned Ryan. Ned, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Jim and I have a bunch of these like deep dark, if you know, you know, secrets. And I just warned him not to draft this guy. And they did. And Ned, I could have saved them 100 milli and they didn't listen. They didn't. They should have trusted me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
needs to make better choices in life that's it right make better choices exactly thank you my brother so ned the drone story i'm going to get into it after you get off the air i'm not going to get into what they are what they aren't right now i have a theory on it based on some evidence but it's a theory i'm not i'm you know i'm being clear it's speculation at this point however that's not what i want to talk to you about what i want to talk to you about is a piece in the wall street journal it was interesting even though he took a shot at podcast
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Nobody trusts the government anymore. Nobody trusts the government about anything. I see this story one of two ways at this point. Either the government knows what it is and the story's so devastating they're lying and nobody believes them, or the government doesn't know what it is, which is an even bigger scandal that the government doesn't know what it is. Either way, the government sucks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
We're talking to Ned Ryan. Ned, yes, this is why I like having you on the show. We think alike. We are so simpatico. You said two things that are correct. I do believe they know what it is because yes, but I also believe they're incompetent.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Holman Jenkins at the Wall Street Journal, I've been citing a lot because he's been talking about this story forever and that his operating thesis has been that this is, foreign surveillance that just like the spy balloon and that they know, just someone said to me, oh, but they've got lights on on the drones. That's the point.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
They don't even care that China knew that we knew it was their spy balloon and they just have no respect for this Biden team at all. So I believe two things you said are accurate. They do know what it is. It's probably foreign, not 100%, but probably foreign.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
and they just don't know what to do because if they tell people it's foreign, everybody's going to go, wait, you guys don't have a plan for this? These guys are idiots. They don't have a plan because they work for the government.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You know, Michael, I was talking to Michael Francis. Michael, forgive me for saying, what crime family were you, which mob family were you a member of? I'm sorry, was it the Columbos?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Ned Ryan, he has a book out. It's amazing. I got an early copy of it. It's called American Leviathan. Yes. I blurbed it because it was fantastic. Ned and Sean Davis kind of see the way they see balls and strikes. They don't really care if you're a Republican or Democrat, which those are the only type of guests I have in the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
If you're a Republican party ass kisser, then don't come on my show ever. So American Leviathan is a book. Pick it up. Ned, I wanted to kind of double down on something you just brought up, which is the inefficiency component of the government. We're spending $7 trillion on government. And again, the drone story, forgetting about what it is or isn't, but just the government's approach to it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You're telling me, you know, Facebook's what, trillion or close to trillion dollar company. You mentioned, I'm not telling you I like this. I'm just telling you it happens. You're in a room and you mentioned that, you know, you want to learn how to throw a curveball. It's amazing. You get a Facebook ad. Here's this special baseball that'll teach you how to grip the curveball.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And you're like, oh, my gosh, they're spying on us. How do I know this? Yet you've got these things in the sky that look like dump trucks with lights on them that, you know, thousands of people can see. And the $7 trillion government's like, I don't know, man. What is it? I don't know. I'm not really sure. And it brings up the question you brought up. I don't need it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
I love the Department of Government Efficiency, but you're right. I don't want little scalpel stuff. I want machetes going on. I want whole departments wiped out. We got to start over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Columbus, you, you know, I didn't realize, but you actually spent a good amount of time in federal prison over this. I mean, this isn't something you're just talking about as if like, you know, you are, you were deep in this and I saw it in the fear city thing. And you mentioned this moment where you had this in the documentary where you had this moment where you said, you know what?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Yeah, so Jerry Baker at the Wall Street Journal, obviously not a Trump guy at all, but he has a piece that just popped 20 minutes ago in the editorial column. And it's a pretty good piece. And the gist of the piece is we have not had a political bank account. I'm not talking about money. I'm talking about power, a political bank account
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
as full as we have now since 2004, George Bush, when he won reelection pretty handily. We haven't had that. 2016, they were, you know, stupid allegations of collusion. You had the Mueller thing. A lot of Trump's political capital was taken away by ridiculous conspiracy theories. Ned, we know they haven't given up the left or commies. You and I both know that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
But there's simply no question that the resistance air quotes has been muted. It just has. I think they're so shocked by him winning the popular vote that we have. And you were just kind of hinting at it probably about 18 months where we can do some really special things. And you're seeing it now during the transition. Trump has a lot of political capital right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
This isn't the life. I've had enough of this and I'm going to go in a different direction. And was it the commission case? Was that it when they took down the heads of all these crime families where you said, this ain't for me. I'm going the straight and narrow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Can I stop you there? Because I don't want to miss that point. I think, and I'd love to get your take on it, I think Pete Hegseth was the turning point. I think they got their scalp in Matt Gaetz. I think they feel like, okay, we had that measuring contest, if you know what I mean. But I think the Hegseth thing, I think they were trying to do it again. I don't think that was an act.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
They were like, oh, no, we just want our guy because we want to fight every foreign war possible. And I think they were genuinely stunned by guys like you, me, Sean Davis, Cat Turd, everyone. You'd laugh at him. He's probably the second most powerful guy on Twitter. They couldn't believe it. And I think now they're like, oh, my gosh, this MAGA movement's real. They're not kidding around.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You're so right with the domino thing. That's what terrified me. They always get one scalp. I don't agree with what they did, but they always get one. But I totally agree with you. Pete had to be the red line. He's more than qualified. He's a man of integrity. These were anonymous things that had already been handled. There's nobody in D.C. that doesn't have some story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So please spare me the nonsense of the morality lectures. Nate, I want to get a plug in for your book. Unfortunately, I'm out of time. Ned Ryan, the book is American Leviathan. I wrote a blurb for it. I don't do a lot of blurbs. This book is fantastic. You want to learn about what the government is doing to you and how this metastasizing cancer on your life has taken over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
American Leviathan, wherever you get your books. Ned, thanks for coming on. We really appreciate it. Always such great insights. Thanks a lot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You got it. I try to only have guests on who see the rot on both sides, folks. Where else are you going to get what you get at the New York Times? A bias view of the world where the Democrats can do no wrong and the Republicans are the evil Nazis all the time. Here's the bottom line. Whereas the Democrats are the cause of your problems, Republicans sometimes aren't the solution either.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And that requires you, all of us, to have an open mind about all this stuff. Another interesting interview next, but let's hear from our next sponsor first. Folks, I had my Helix mattress for several years now. I just got a new one, moved in the new house. It is the best mattress to sleep on. I have a Midnight Luxe. I love it. Listen, you're on the mattress eight, 10 hours a night sometimes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
That's a long time to be on a terrible mattress. And poor sleep, your days are going to be long and they're going to be really horrible. You need your sleep. That's when your body heals. Helix is the award-winning mattress brand recommended by many, me included, for improving sleep. I'm sleeping better than my old mattress. It's really improved my everyday life. Less aches and pains.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You know, I got a bad shoulder. Sleeping on my Helix has been a game changer for me. I'm a side sleeper. You know, personalize the mattress for you.

Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Finally, this was a real surprise interview. I wasn't sure how this was gonna go over. We talked with Chef Andrew Gruhl, who is just a great Make America Great Again guy. But the prime rib segment, I don't think I've ever gotten more emails about, I'm not even kidding, about an interview segment than this one. Listen to the interview, you'll see what I mean. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So President Trump's nominees, the left-wing media has told you, of course, that they're controversial. That's obviously their line for everything Donald Trump does.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
But if you watch the beginning of the show or the beginning of the podcast, how controversial can they all be if the Trump transition is near universal GOP approval and the approval of the transition has been going pretty well with the general population as well? Folks, there's nothing wrong with having people with different viewpoints in your cabinet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
But before that, let me tell you about our first sponsor. Increased tariffs on our trade partners, tax cuts, and regulation changes. A lot of change coming. Learn why gold is a viable diversification tactic now more than ever. Birch Gold, the only gold company I trust, is releasing its ultimate guide for gold in the Trump era with a foreword by Donald Trump Jr.,
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Now, I am a fan of the team of rivals approach as long as there's some loyalty involved, not a team of like Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger type rivals. But the selections for the cabinet have been a really diverse group. And I'm not talking about diverse in the woke way. I mean, ideologically. Some of them I agree with, some of them I don't. But I'm willing to hear them out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
One of them has been RFK Jr., who has had a really, really bold voice over the years when it comes to things like our food supply and elsewhere. So our next guest, you've probably seen him on social media if you follow him. He has a really big following. He was very active during COVID defending the restaurants out there that were being closed down. His name is Andrew Gruhl.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Chef Andrew Gruhl, welcome to the show. Good to have you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Always good to have you, especially around one of these eating holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. I know I'm kind of wondering, wait, before we get to the serious stuff. So, I mean, turkey's obviously the go-to on Thanksgiving. But, I mean, you're a chef and a pretty famous one at that. Like, what's the go-to on Christmas? Is it that? the ham thing?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Or do you go with like a rib roast or something? I don't know. Like I'm just the steak guy. I just want a ribeye with some fat and marbling in it. But what's the go-to Christmas dish for the audience that in the chef Andrew gruel household, we're like, this is happening.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Prime rib now. Wait, how do you cook it? Because producer Jim, I don't know if you know this, is like a big lover of smoked meats and everything like that. He goes to these barbecue festivals and everything and tears it up. How do you cook the prime rib so it's juicy and tender and it like melts in your mouth so you can have like no teeth, just gums and it still works?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Folks, you see, only on this show that you've got Christmas coming up next week, and now you know about the CR, the Trump transition, you know about Trump answering the phone, personal politics, and you also know how to put the best prime rib on the kitchen table next week for your Christmas holiday, your Christmas meal. Where else are you going to get that? Talking to Chef Andrew Gruhl.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Chef, another thing I wanted to address with you is Bobby Kennedy has brought to light a lot of issues that guys like you spend their lives around food. Obviously, you're a chef, but, you know, me as well. I mean, I'm a radio host, but I am obsessed with life hacks and being healthy. I went through a pretty nasty health situation. Luckily, got through it. But I realized the power of food.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You know, everybody's looking for a pill, you know? What is it? Is it the collagen, the vitamin C? It's all good stuff, I get it, but they're called supplements, Chef, for a reason. They're meant to supplement a healthy diet. Bobby Kennedy, with his focus on health and fitness and food and the food supply chain, has brought this into the public light, this Make America Healthy Again movement.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
but our food has become so processed and there's such garbage and it comes from a bag. You look on the back, there's like 10,000 ingredients, all these food dyes and all this stuff that I wish I could get across to America, that you can make healthy stuff Tastes amazing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You can go and put some olive oil and a nice vinegar on a spinach salad and throw in some asparagus tips and some avocado and some really nice grilled chicken, and you've got this amazing, God-given food right in front of you, and it has none of this poison in it at all. This is what this Make America Healthy Again movement has really got to be about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
So many of our problems would be cured if people would just eat like that.

Talking to Chef Andrew Gruhl. Chef, one other thing I wanted to ask you about this too is with this, I had this change in my diet after I had this whole episode with cancer. And I realized that these processed sugars and processed foods were probably, were at a minimum not helping. We'll just say that. I don't want to be hyperbolic about it, but were definitely not helping my health.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
And when I changed my diet, to uh fruits vegetables the things you heard you've heard since your kindergarten teacher taught it's not complicated you know grilled chicken salmon you know leaner meats when i changed my diet it was just it's three to six month period where you still crave you know an oreo or uh And I still like a Five Guys burger. They still taste good, but you crave it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
You know what I'm saying? Like the first few months of transitioning to that Make America Healthy Again type of eating program, you really do miss kind of the sweet stuff. But then you reach this kind of transitional, almost breaking point, where you lose the craving for it at all and your life is totally changed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
My kid loves sweets still, so she'll go out and eat an Oreo or whatever once in a while, some cookie. And I'm not sitting there going, gosh, I wish I had one of those. Your taste buds change, your whole body changes. You get lean, the bloating stops, all this other stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
There is that, have you noticed that when, obviously you're being around food all the time, that it does kind of take a while to break that. Sugar is an addictive compound. It's almost like a drug.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Talking to Chef Andrew Gould. Chef, last question for you. You were really, really active on social media defending individual liberty during the COVID shutdowns because restaurants got destroyed. Some of them never came back. Just the effect was just so profound all across the country.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
I'm of the belief that a lot of the shift that happened in this Donald Trump victory in the election, not all of it, but a lot of it was due to the far left and the swampy right, to be candid about it, their response to COVID. There were people, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, it didn't matter.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
They were all impacted by an overreaction to this tragic virus, but one that the effects of it were obviously exaggerated. You spoke out about that and you were knee deep in that whole thing. You agree with that assessment that this had a lot to do with it when you see a lot of these liberal areas that shifted dramatically towards Trump and away from the Democrats?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24

You got it. Man, that was a lot of material for 14, 15 minutes. I told Jim tonight, I'm like, man, what are we really talking about? Because I like lighter stuff, but not too much light stuff. Like that's not kind of my, we just covered a lot of material there. Good job, Shifter. Jim, I know. Jim, now the whole break, I'm going to hear about the prime rib segment.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
This guy, all he wants to talk about is smoked meats and meats and cooking meats. This guy's like obsessed with it. Jim could quit tomorrow and be a full-time meat guy, cooking meats, smoking meats, grilling meats. That's all he'd do. Thanks for listening to the podcast. Not just today, but this year. Looking forward to many more in 2025. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
I was thinking about this United Healthcare, the CEO being shot dead in the streets of Manhattan. Now, you haven't been a member of the mob. Obviously, you're around people who've done really bad stuff, including targeted killings. That's how the mob enforces. But, you know, everybody's saying, oh, this guy's a professional type assassin, some kind of Jason Bourne.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
There was a lot of it going on online. The first thing I thought, being on the law enforcement side, I've been studying this stuff, and you haven't been on the mob side back in the day,
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
i didn't see that at all michael the real assassins who kill people for a living and do this stuff as you sadly know from being around they don't want to get caught they don't write messages on the bullets they just kill you i thought of that scene in goodfellas remember where ray leota beau deedle comes out and he starts cursing hands on the steering wheel starts dropping f-bombs and ray leota says i knew it was a cop because only cops talk like that he goes bad guys just shoot you
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
That's the first thing I thought when I saw this guy get whacked in the streets. This is no professional. They don't leave messages like that.

Yeah, we're talking to Michael Francese, a former member of the Colombo crime family, now speaks out on all of these issues. And he's been a guest in the show, really fascinating guy. You know, it's funny, Michael, I had you on my Fox show a while ago, and you know, you get these little minute by minute, I don't know, Q kind of ratings, Q scores or whatever, you were through the roof.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
People couldn't get enough of that interview. They kept replaying it. I was thinking about you in relationship to another story too, and that's the Daniel Penny case today. The subway case, the verdict comes back not guilty. You know, nobody knew you and I are roughly in the same cohort, but you remember the 1980 subway in New York. It was a disaster.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Michael, if you got on the train, it was a 50 50 shot that you were going on there and something bad was going to happen. You're going to have be stolen, robbed, raped or even worse. Right. It was going to be really terrible. 80s New York subways. So, Jim, my producer had said to me, are you surprised by this not guilty verdict? I'd love to get your take on this. I said, no, I'm not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Because guys like you and me who grew up in New York, everybody, sadly, in that era, who's probably a jurist now, 40, 50 and older, remembers what it was like to be terrorized on the subway. It was a really awful place pre-Giuliani New York in the 80s. I'm sure you remember it.
The Dan Bongino Show

Do you know some of the people in those movies? Did you ever have any interaction with Lefty or Henry Hill or Jimmy from Goodfellas or any of those people? Did you ever know those people in real life?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
I actually know what Henry Hill looks like in real life. When I was an agent in Long Island, a case came up when he was – when he was, it was a long story, but the postal inspectors brought it to me. So I was very familiar and you are accurate. Wait, one more question. I want to get back on the movie. Was Tommy the Joe Pesci character as crazy as Joe Pesci played him in the movie?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Was he really that nuts?
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Man, Jim, we got to put Michael on like the halfback regularly list. Michael, last question for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
with the daniel penny case and the united healthcare ceo case we've seen the pervasiveness obviously of cell phone cameras ring doorbells commercial cameras nypd cameras if you're the mob today you were in the mob decades ago if you're in the mob today and you're trying to shake down concrete businesses and other things like that
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
Isn't it almost impossible to operate as this racketeering organization, understanding how powerful surveillance tools are now? Is that why the mob really never recovered from the commission case in the Giuliani era?

I've been using the bone charge infrared sauna blanket for a long time and Paula loves a red light face mask. I love life hacks. They sent it to me. Can't recommend them highly enough. I first turned to the sauna blanket a couple of years ago to help me with muscle recovery. You know, I have bad arthritis. Help me with some pain relief too. It worked for me. It was incredible.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Michael Franzese, Jeff Van Drew, Ned Ryun, Andrew Gruel 12/22/24
It's been a game changer. It's easy to use. You just wrap yourself up in the blanket and let the infrared heat work its magic. I've noticed a real difference. and how relaxed I am. I've even seen a difference in my blood work since. It's been amazing. I feel rejuvenated. The red light face mask is equally as impressive.

Here's Julie and I discussing all of the new information that came out about this. You know, they're giving out these presidential awards in the Biden White House. And it's like Darth Vader, George Soros. They couldn't give out a group of awards to a lesser qualified group of people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
He has graciously joined us today on the show after a bombshell tweet yesterday. Mike, thanks for your time. We appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
So, Mike, yesterday I was going through Twitter and I am obsessed with this January six pipe bomber case because like many people, I believe the FBI knows the identity of this pipe bomber on January six, four years ago and just doesn't want to tell us because it was an inside job. But you dissected this, quote, new video they're releasing, which is actually old video, but they're claiming it's new.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And you notice something very suspicious about the frame rate and what they did to the eyes of the suspect they got on the video. Explain that and what you think it means.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
hey thanks so much for joining us for this Sunday special we really appreciate it today we're going to talk about the biggest scandal of our time it's not just my opinion by the way Julie Kelly Darren Beatty and other serious journalists out there feel the same way about the January 6 pipe bomb ran the cover up we've got some great guests to talk about it and thoroughly talk about it this is our first compilation show on this and you're going to enjoy it but let's get to our first sponsor
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
I bring that up because this reporter, actual reporter, I hate the word journalist because it's a slur, but actually deserves an award for her work. I think her and Darren Beattie are going to be remembered by history for two of the people who really covered January 6th in totality, honestly and candidly, despite overwhelming pressure to just shut up about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
You know her, she's a regular guest on the show. She has a book called January 6th. Jim, what do you think it's about? January 6th. Wow, that's amazing. You knew that. Julie Kelly, welcome back to the show. Always great to have you, especially on days like tonight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Mike, I got about four minutes left, but you're correct. The FBI, Occam's razor, clearly doesn't want you to know who this person is. It's the Federal Bureau of Obfuscation. They've engaged in a number of shady things here. One of them being claiming that the phone records from the triangulation, excuse me, on the Pipe Armour's phone were corrupted. They were not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
The Secret Service magically seems to have lost the texts surrounding the incident, claiming it was a device transfer. We know that's a lie now I have from a source. The January 6th committee doesn't even reference the pipe bomber outside of the appendix in their report. Benny Thompson, the chair of that committee, refuses to answer questions about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
We had cameras suspiciously focused on the bench where the pipe bomber sat, refocused away from the bench, seemingly allowed him to do that. And one last thing, and I'll give you, I got about three minutes, I want you to comment on this whole thing. And one last shady thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
How is it that the military explosives ordinance disposal team and dog, K-9, failed to detect a device that was a viable device, according to the FBI? The answer is there's a 0% chance. That thing was probably placed there at the last minute. And this person was either a patsy or an insider.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Man, they were 100% correct. Cutesy time is over with this stuff. Mike, you've done really amazing work on this. Folks, I strongly encourage you to follow him on X. He is at Mike Benz, B-E-N-Z, cyber. It is well worth your time. Watch the videos and the analysis. It is ironclad, and you'll see you've been lied to. Mike, thanks a lot for your time. Really appreciate your analysis. Thank you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
man talk soon you got it watch his video and tell me the fbi isn't manipulating the video of the j6 pipe bomber specifically so you don't find out who it is tell me tell me again after watching it's on my podcast yes sir you can go to his twitter feed jim did we even get to trump on it we didn't even get to that yet right You know what? Quick, before we break, because I'll talk about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It's quick. Jim, cut six. Here's Donald Trump. In case you're of the... You're living in a delusion where the FBI actually wants you to know that the J6 pipe bomb was an inside job. If you're living in a delusion where, no, it was a MAGA terrorist instead, here's Donald Trump yesterday, who, by the way, knows a lot more than we do due to briefings and insiders talking to him about the J6 bomber.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
You think he said that by accident? I don't. I'm sure he didn't say it by accident. Let me add one more thing before we take a break. Not only should everyone be put under oath and have to give sworn depositions, everyone in the FBI who touched this case and the Secret Service as well. But it's got to be backed up by polygraphs. Folks, we got to get a source.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
You're going to have to cut a deal with someone to give up everyone else. I want to see polygraphs. The polygraph is not 100%. It's nowhere even close. But I'll tell you, as someone who's had to take a polygraph, it's no fun either. And you get a good polygrapher, people break. And they break quick. Another interview coming up next with Darren Beattie, but our next sponsor first. Helix Sleep.

Darren Beattie is another relentless reporter who has never let go of this story. Without him, we'd be absolutely lost. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
uh but i want to welcome back to the show from revolver news a guy who um along with julie kelly and a limited number of people that weren't for him you would know nothing about the january 6th pipe bomber ongoing metastasizing scandal darren beattie darren welcome back to the show great to be back with you as always Yeah, you're amazing, man.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
I got to tell you, now that this story is finally where I think you and I can both agree we're weeks, maybe months away from cracking the biggest scandal of our time, who the January 6th bomber was and the inside job it appears to be. You guys got this done. But Darren, I want to ask you about something you have been reporting on for, gosh, three years now, maybe more.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
The video of the incident released by the FBI of this suspect planting this pipe bomb at the DNC on January 6th where Kamala Harris was inside appears to have been manipulated. We had Mike Benz on the other day. It appears that not only is the frame rate manipulated, but that there are specific blur points on the video to prevent you from identifying the eyes of this suspect too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
I know you've been all over this for a while. Your general thoughts on that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
He's two weeks away from taking office. Now, in what I'm sure you're laughing at is an incredible coincidence. The FBI is like, we found new video of the January 6th bomber. And amazingly, Julie, the frame rate appears different. It seems clearer, which is strange because how is it new video if the video has been sitting in the FBI evidence locker for four years now?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
We're talking to Darren Beattie from Revolver News. You can check out, you can just put in any search engine. I think even the goofy liberal communist ones. Just put in Darren Beattie, Revolver News, January 6th, Pipe Bomber. You can read a litany of articles about him years ago covering this manipulated FBI video.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Darren, I'm asking an obvious question, but you know, some people in the audience are liberal and slow. Why do you think the FBI would manipulate a frame rate to say one frame per second instead of say 30 or 40? Would it possibly be a B... Then it's just one frame to manipulate rather than 30. So it creates a lot less work if you don't want to find out who's in the video.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It's almost like someone in the FBI knows the identity of this bomber and that Trump's going to find out and that they're trying to get ahead of losing their jobs or potentially going to jail over this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
We're talking to Darren Beattie from Revolver News about the new, air quotes, video emerging about the pipe bomber, which is a massive scandal. We had Mike Benz on the other day, Darren, and I'd just like to get your comments on something he stated, that the only way to clear this up is, you kind of alluded to it just before, is to get everybody involved who sniffed, touched,
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Yeah, I agree. Darren, the nation owes you a serious debt of gratitude, man. You could have let this thing go a long time ago, but you didn't. Your work has been incredible. You exposed this video manipulation a long time ago. Folks, go to Revolver News. Look up Darren Beattie's work. It's definitely worth your time. Darren, thanks for coming on today. We appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Folks, he's been talking about this forever. You can look at the, it's not a short article he wrote. It's like 2,000, 3,000 words where he dissects the video and shows you how there's no possible way it wasn't manipulated. Think about what he just said. You're telling me the DNC has a camera so bad your local 7-Eleven has a better one? The DNC, the Democrat National Committee,
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It's not it's so patently ridiculous. Only a moron or a liberal. But I said the same thing twice would believe it. It was manipulated to cut the frames to a slow frame rate so that they wouldn't have to manipulate 30 frames a second and only one or two. Because they don't want you to know who this is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And I agree with him that they did conduct an investigation, a legitimate one, for probably a couple of weeks because a friend of mine, who's a federal agent, was involved in it. And they told him, once they started to hone in on who it was, to stand down. Why? Because they don't want you to know who it is. Hope you enjoyed that. Now let's get to our next sponsor.

The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It was another one of those moments where I was just feeling it, explaining exactly why this story is so important. Take a listen. I need to talk about another major development in a story I'm just going to admit, throw it out there for better or for worse, Jim knows it as well as anyone, I'm obsessed with. It's this January 6th pipe bomber story. I can't get over it, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
I can't get over how this is the biggest scandal, maybe in the FBI's history, sitting right in front of our face and outside of... Julie Kelly, Darren Beattie, and basically some isolated pockets of conservative media, nobody seems to care about this story at all. I have barely, Jim, have you even seen it covered on cable news? I haven't either. Now, granted, I only watch an hour or so a day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
You know, like you guys, I have a job. It's not a hard job, but it's a job. I have not seen this story covered at all, and I cannot believe it. Kamala Harris, on January 6th, 2021, was nearly assassinated by a pipe bomb while she was very suspiciously not at the Capitol on her certification day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And nobody wants to talk about the fact that the FBI appears to clearly know the identity of the person that's hiding it. Does that sum it up, Jim? Kind of like the old proverbial nutshell? Does that sum it up? This is the craziest story I have ever heard. There were so many enigmas wrapped inside mysteries here. that you have to be an imbecile not to see through it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
The media has told us over and over and over again, this was an insurrection on January 6th. So why in the, oh man, sometimes I can't stand FCC rules. Why would you not tell us the story about the pipe bombing terrorist who on insurrection day tried to kill Kamala Harris? Why? The answer is because that didn't happen. The answer is the FBI knows the identity of this person.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
By the way, I am not suicidal. Jim, can you take a note on that, please? Mark the date and have Mike sign it as well. I wake up every morning and I do my affirmations. You think I'm a weirdo? I don't really care. I am a weirdo. You know what I do? Say, I'm Dan Bongino. I love Jesus and Jesus loves me. You know what I say next? I'm not kidding. I swear I'm not making this up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Every morning I say two things. I say I'm Dan Bongino and only good things happen to me. Try it. I'm not going to get into quantum physics simulations and the act of observation because Jim will go nuts. I'm just telling you, try it. I say those two things every morning. I don't know where I was going with that. Doesn't matter.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Just telling you, I am absolutely convinced it's the freaking biggest scandal and you are gonna miss out on this. I have been on this thing like white on rice. They know who this person is. I'm telling you with every ounce of my integrity and my reputation on the line, it is the biggest scandal of our time because it is not a MAGA hat wearing, juicy, small, yeah, you're in MAGA country.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It is a Democrat insider or an anti-Trump lunatic who was trying to stop on January 6th, four years ago, the Republicans from objecting to the election. So they figured if they planted a bomb there, that they could rush into the Capitol and go, stop the objections. Kamala Harris was almost killed by you lunatics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
But when there was some violence and a riot at the Capitol, they didn't need that story anymore. So now they've got to make it go away. Folks, there was a major development in this case. The FBI yesterday claims that they found new footage. Jim, is that new footage the FBI released? Why are you so sure? You answered immediately. You should think that through. Why is it not new footage?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It's four years old. But the FBI, Jim, magically released it after an event that happened in November. You were at it, Kyle. Geez, you remember what happened? What was it? Election night? Do you remember you were there? Election, yes. Do you remember who won? Donald Trump. Yeah, yeah. Now all of a sudden the FBI's like, wow, looky here. Look what we got. New video we've had for four years now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
So Mike Benz, who is fantastic... Folks, Mike Benz did a deep dive on this old new video, right? The old new, because it was recorded obviously four years ago. And the FBI's like, look, new video. And he found something interesting. That there appears to be a blur line if you zoom in on the video of the bomber they allege is placing the bomb.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
There appears to be a blur line over the eyeballs on multiple frames. Now, why would you blur out the eyeballs if your goal was to put the video out so that people could identify? Well, you would blur out the eyeballs because you wouldn't want people using any kind of biometrics and AI to use those eyeballs for a facial ID, which you know they would figure out in probably just seconds.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
So why is the FBI putting out a video that appears manipulated if they're claiming they want to find the identity of the bomber? And the answer is because they don't. They want to pretend they're trying to find the identity of the bomber. Folks, this guy was an insider. This was an inside job and is the biggest scandal in FBI history. The Benz video. Oh yeah, I'm gonna play this again tomorrow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Shame on me. I didn't miss the podcast today, but because the repressor happened afterwards. You think I'm crazy that the FBI knows the identity of this person and just doesn't want you to know? Because they're gonna have to admit that the Democrats engaged in a surreptitious fake assassination plot to stop the questioning of 2020 election and then the FBI hid the identity for four years?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It's gonna be the biggest scandal in FBI history. Here's Trump on it today. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Julie, it's like they found out who the pipe bomber is and wanted to unfind out. But you can't unring a bell. This is exactly what happened. So we've discussed this case often. I was reading, I've been using your tweet in my show. So folks, for those of you wondering why you know, I'm obsessed with this story, it's because I'm convinced it's the biggest scandal of our time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Looky here, Jim. Sounds like Donald Trump has the same position as that show called the Dan Bongino Show. Gosh, that's my name. So weird, eponymously named. Why'd that happen? They got a guy with that name, though. It's the Dan Bongino Show. It's so weird. Sounds like Donald Trump knows something. Something I've been telling you for a very long time. They know who this is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
They don't want you to know. How else would you explain this? The January 6th committee that hates Donald Trump, Kinzinger, Benny Thompson, Liz Cheney and the rest of the losers. How do you explain the fact that they don't even address in their entire January 6th report the fact that Kamala Harris was at the DNC when a bomb was placed outside?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It's addressed only in the appendix and lightly at best. Why? Why did Benny Thompson freak out when Republican Congressman Massey asked him about the pipe bomber? Why did the Secret Service falsely make up a story about deleting texts about this January 6th incident with the pipe bomb, saying they were doing a device transfer when no such thing happened until months later? What are they hiding?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Why is the video frame rate, why does it appear manipulated? Is it because 10 frames per second is easier to manipulate than 1,000 frames per second? So you wouldn't have to manipulate 1,000 frames, just 10? Like blurring out the eyeballs and leaving out critical information? Why does the video appear manipulative? Why did the FBI falsely claim
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
That the phone records from the pipe bomber who makes a cell phone call from the location that should be easy to triangulate. Why did the FBI falsely claim the records are corrupted and the phone company only speak out after Trump won and say that's not true? Why is Kamala Harris never addressed why she was at the DNC that day and not at the Capitol? Anybody know?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Folks, it's the biggest scandal of our time. There's not even a close second. And I'm never letting it go. I'm sorry I don't care how many people it annoys. I'm not trying to annoy you on purpose. I'm just telling you that this story, once the lid is blown off it, and we're getting close. Darren Beattie just texted me. We're getting close. Trump knows it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
When Kash Patel gets in there, you're going to know it too. And you're gonna say to yourself, thank God I invested in that show and not the left-wing media shows and even cable news shows that have failed to address this topic and shamefully let it go.
The Dan Bongino Show

I'm convinced the person who planted that pipe bomb at the DNC on January 6th was there to create a fake assassination attempt because they needed to stop Republicans from questioning in front of a national TV audience what happened in the 2020 election. They wanted to run into the House chamber and go, Stop questioning the election.

Kamala Harris almost killed at the DNC, but they didn't need to because the riot broke out. So you tweeted out new more evidence of a doctored FBI pipe bomb video. Here's the side by side of two different cameras from the DNC security system. What was different about the video they just released about the alleged pipe bomber in contrast to the other one? So the audience can be read in on this.

they really think we're we're stupid i mean there are people out there you and darren and others who have covered this who are really smart intelligent people i mean people don't have to agree with us anything but no one's going to challenge your reporting abilities you've been covering the j6 trials and everything um you know you've been covering legal components you're not even a lawyer so you know you know that and you've been covering and you've done a pretty darn good job at doing all of this and they just keep

Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Every one of these talking points they put out keeps getting debunked the moment they put out. I'll just give you an example, folks, of all of the things about the January 6th bomber that don't add up. And Julie, comment on this and kind of global in the totality.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Number one, the Secret Service text messages that day about Kamala Harris's perilous safety situation as she's inside the DNC with the bomb outside have magically disappeared. Second, the Secret Service appears to have lied about it, saying it was a technology update, yet the agents were told only months later to turn in their devices to get rid of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
So it couldn't have been a technology update. You have the frame rate manipulated with on the cameras that would make it easier to delete footage. Mike Benz has a tweet out right now that appears the FBI manipulated some of the video footage to cover the eyes so that no one could do any kind of biometric identification using like AI or anything like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
You have the cell phone records that day of the alleged bomber that the FBI alleges were corrupted that the phone company after Trump once said, oh, no, they weren't corrupted. It is clear this all adds up to they know who this person is. They just don't want you to know who it is.

Julie, last question for you. We're talking to Julie Kelly. She has the authoritative book on January 6th. The title is easy to remember. It's called January 6th. And it is the definitive account of what really happened on that day. Exit question here. I know I'm asking you to speculate, but it's an opinion show and you have one, but it's an informed one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Do you think that this release of this so-called new video of the J6 bomber, which again is obviously not new, it happened four years ago. Do you think that my theory is accurate or you have a different theory? My theory being what I told you before, that there are people in the FBI, for mercenary reasons, by the way, They just want to preserve their jobs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
They don't have any other career potential. They got to pay their bills like anyone else. Are releasing this to try to ingratiate themselves to incoming director Kash Patel to be like, look, I tried to help. I mean, or is there another maybe more pernicious, malicious reason I'm missing as to why this stuff is magically coming out after Trump won?

The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
I don't know. No, yeah, Jim, I know. This will not be a dark web episode. I know you listen to the show. This will be real.

The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Thanking you because I'm telling you when this comes out that the FBI knew the entire time the identity of this person and then tried to unknow it because it was an insider and an inside attack and a plot to stop Republicans from questioning the election results. I'm serious. I'm bringing you to our new studio, and we are doing an entire show, podcast. Jim, I want it nice, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
I don't care about what it costs. She deserves it because you have done yeoman's work on this, Julie, and you really deserve it. I'm telling you, we are just probably a month or so away from most of the story cracking wide open when Kash Patel swears in. Unfortunately, I'm out of time. She's Julie Kelly. You can follow her on X and on her sub stack and pick up her book, January 6th.

Life-changing is the phrase producer Jim on my radio show used to describe his experience with PhD weight loss and nutrition. Jim lost over 40 pounds when the folks at PhD weight loss put him on their program, and he's kept it off for over a year since he hit his goal. To me, he looks 10 years younger.

Yeah, I hope not. Everyone seems to be complaining, by the way, especially the anti-Trump left, about accountability, Congressman, as if you know the private sector as well as anyone, as if this doesn't happen every single day in the private sector where a manager, a supervisor, where someone comes up to you and says, hey, listen, this month we're going to do a quarterly review.

And I mean disastrous for him. President Trump went into the meeting with, it was supposed to be relatively ceremonial.
The Dan Bongino Show

We were going to sign this rare earths minerals deal, which was a, you know, a cliche, but win-win. It was a win-win for everyone. And it just blew up. And I want to focus on this one thing for, just for this question. He made a comment, President Zelensky,
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
about you all have a nice ocean quote nice ocean between you uh to the united states of america congressman and i had a listener during the break who said hey dan one of the battles my dad fought in in world war ii was the battle of the bulge too like my grandfather he had nightmares too he not only crossed the quote knight nice ocean but also crossed the nice channel too
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I mean, what an insulting statement to this amazing country of heroes and patriots who've crossed that ocean many times.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Well, I hate to. I'm sorry. Forgive the interruption. But that. You are so correct. I mean, you know, we're roughly in the same cohort, you know, within a few years. And I remember growing up, you know, all we are saying is give peace a chance. This is what he's doing. I don't understand. Like, Donald Trump conceded nothing. The deal, Congressman, was an absolute win-win.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I hate that term, but in this case, it absolutely applies. We were going to get economic materials we needed and rare earth minerals.

thinking of who could fill our shoes with this incredible audience and who could we make accessible to them that not only wouldn't disappoint, but would take this football we have and run it into the end zone.

in a ukrainian territory under attack which the russians would understandably probably hesitate to attack if the u.s has an economic interest in you and i both know i'm not saying you they wouldn't but they definitely think twice especially with donald trump in office the ukrainians get maybe not a de jure hard security guarantee but at least an implied one if you you know you heard what i just said you know what i'm talking about this was an absolute win-win it's not like donald trump went into this meeting and said

hey man what the hell are you doing here in those battle fatigues don't you he wanted he could not have been more statesman-like and zielinski came in and throws a just a match on this thing and burns the thing and still won't apologize which i really can't believe you're in politics you're a congressman from tennessee you know better than anyone politics is an art form your job is to read the room congressman or else you don't get elected that's your job and zielinski failed at his first task
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
We're talking to Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee. Congressman, with Zelensky, again, I fail to understand or just...
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
ignored which makes it which would be even more unforgivable is this is a constitutional republic it's not a direct democracy we don't vote on every single issue we vote for people like yourself in congress and then you vote on the issue but you have to go back to your constituents in tennessee and explain yourself and you know doing town halls and you probably hear from emails and people calling your office every day
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
this effort in ukraine is not universally popular the working taxpayers heroes and patriots of this great country have different opinions and for zielinski to go into the oval office with donald trump and to fake not understanding that that donald trump has to move the public in this constitutional republic in the direction of this deal and to just aggravate the american public further

Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Congressman Tim Burchett, last question. Congressman's from Tennessee. Really appreciate your time. You know, one of the last things I wanted to address with you is this NATO funding. Congressman, listen, the United States has an interest in what happens everywhere in the world. We have trade relationships with countries.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
It does not mean our boots have to be on the ground everywhere, but let's just be candid. Just pure geography and distance alone, the European Union and most other NATO countries in Western and Eastern Europe have a more parochial interest in NATO than we do. I'm not saying we don't have an interest.

I'm just saying for them, then the European Union as well to lecture us while we've been essentially we have been NATO. We are NATO for decades while their militaries have been hollowed out. I mean, is that a bad joke? You're lecturing us, but we are NATO. NATO is nothing without us.

Check this out. I've known this gentleman quite a while now. Ran into him during a run for Congress in the district he represents and represents well. It's a Florida district on the West Coast.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
It's the Naples, Cape Coral, Bonita area. Good man. And we share similar personal interests as well, especially with regards to school choice. That kind of filters over from personal to professional. Welcoming to the show, representative and a good one, Byron Donald. Sir, thanks for your time today. We appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You know, as you know, you have a history of service yourself, state rep, member of Congress, hopefully Florida's next governor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
it's the kind of calling when when the boss asks you uh to do something and you can really transform the government you know congressman it's it's easy to talk about stuff every a lot of people do but you can't tell your audience hey the do matters which i've said often but not me i meant the other guy like that doesn't work you know uh you're a street guy like me authenticity matters people see through it and that's why i think it was so important um i do this but i want to talk about your

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Big announcement. You have expressed an interest in the governorship of my beautiful, wonderful, incredible home state of Florida. I think you'd be an amazing guy for the job. What are you going to do to make Florida? I'm not going to say great again, but even greater.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Thank you. But I'm going to share with my audience what I shared with you in the text this morning. You know, I surround myself with good people. And when you surround yourself with good people, Vince, good things happen to you too. I mean, I'm not anybody's life coach. I'm not trying to be Tony Robbins here. I really mean that. I appreciate your gratitude. I do. But you're a good person.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Sorry to interrupt, but Congressman Donald's now candidate for governor, Byron Donald, you know, as well as I do, the snowbirds phenomenon. Yeah, it still exists, but it's nothing like it was when I moved down here 10 years ago. You know, you walked out there in snowbird season. You walk in any restaurant. There was no one there. That's gone now. Florida is now people's year round home.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You still get people who travel back, obviously, but not nearly to the extent. So that leads to my second question. If you are the next governor of Florida, you know, being a member of Congress now, you deal with national issues. This is a competition, Congressman. We got Iowa cutting taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You've got, you know, places like Ohio and even some, you know, Democrat swing states looking at making more tax efficient tax codes. And then you've got places going in the other direction, like Delaware, where most companies would incorporate a lot of them, which is now going in the other direction and now trying to get back business.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
We can't in Florida ever take for granted that our weather and amusement parks and job environment is just going to keep us on top forever. I know you understand that better than anyone.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Yeah, you benevolently stole my thunder for my next question. School choice is a very sensitive topic to me. It's personal as much as professional because I'm a product of it. I would not be speaking in clear English sentences right now if it wasn't for a local Catholic school that through kind of de facto school choice, let us go there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You have an amazing show on WMAL now. You don't need me to tell people. People listening to WMAL already know you. And I really couldn't think of anyone better. You have access to all of these people in that DC market. The interviews are going to be amazing. You know, you're going to be fantastic.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I mean, my parents didn't always pay the tuition on time because we couldn't afford it. but Sister Jane let us stay there. And they did a remarkable job with me and my two brothers. And you and your wife have been unbelievable advocates for school choice. I mean, your wife, Erica, this is her cause, has dedicated her life to this and you as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I heard you give so many passionate speeches about this. how you and friends of yours have just been rescued and saved by this cause of school choice. I know it may not be the sexiest topic always, Congressman, but if we don't have a strong, educated workforce, we have, so I'm blathering on, it means so much to me, we have this repository of kids in inner cities in Florida and elsewhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
This is our greatest natural resource isn't rare earth minerals. It's those kids. You have any idea how many apples and IBMs and Hewlett Packards and whatever could be invented in inner cities that have just been left behind because we can't teach these kids to do freaking basic math? It's a moral stain on our society.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
But let's get to what happened last night, because I know you're going to be covering this on your show today, too. And let's give the audience just a taste of what they can expect as you take over my podcast in just a couple of weeks at 10 a.m.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
And it would be the greatest. That is one case where I would love to look like a bunch of bums. When this next generation goes, gosh, we're so much smarter than them. That is the biggest W we can ever chalk up. We're talking to Congressman Byron Donald running for the governorship in the wonderful, my home state of Florida, which I love so much. Congressman, our last question, I'll let you go.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I know you're busy, but just kind of a bigger bird's eye view question here. You know, after the Mitt Romney presidential run where we lost, there was a lot of kind of morose, macabre talk about the Republican Party. Oh, the generational, it's gone for a generation, forget it. But now the bench is just, you're seeing it up on Capitol Hill and in the state of Florida, you were a state rep.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I mean, even in Florida, we've got,
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
five six seven eight nine ten ringers who could run for state or national office you know you've got vivek running in ohio you got vice president vance i mean the republican bench the party post donald trump uh it really has a really bright future i think you can thank president trump for inspiring a lot of people to move in a new populist but economically sound direction
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I mean, this is like right out of the chute.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
vince last night was a disaster for the democrats i'm trying to be objective here i understand that it's tough but you know the one of the worst things you can do in politics is create a contrast situation where this the pictures and the sound bites are so genuinely awful the state of the union is a moment where the president looks most powerful he's got the microphone he's got the stage to have al green vince
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Yeah, you're right. I mean, bench-wise, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Governor DeSantis, two terms, too. I mean, we've been lucky. Former Governor Scott, now Senator. Governor DeSantis, two terms. I mean, this place is really a beacon of freedom. I love so much living down here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
um i you know i'm i'm proud of this next mission we're going to undertake congressman but like you you know dc has some great people but i just i love florida i'm gonna i'm gonna miss my florida home so i hope to run into you in washington dc let's grab some coffee sometime uh you're doing a great job good luck in the governor's race and thanks for everything you've done for school choice it really matters a lot to me and thank your wife as well she's fantastic we appreciate your time
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You got it. Congressman Byron Donalds. That race means a lot to me. I live here. Listen, I've got a couple more weeks in this job where my political opinion hat is on, but I'm a citizen of Florida, and I really, really like what Byron Donalds stands for. Him and his wife, Erica, have really fought for school choice. Let's get to our next sponsor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You don't go out and buy a life jacket when the boat's already sinking, and you don't buy gold when the economy's already collapsed. Clearly, others are hating this advice as gold hit all-time highs in the first part of 2025. It's not too late for you, too. I use Birch Gold, B-I-R-C-H. It's the company I buy gold from.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
But before that, let me tell you about our first sponsor. I recently gave my father MD hearing aids and I saw him recently. He was hearing so much better. Millions of adults over 65 start to lose their hearing each year. My father was one of them. Let me tell you, MD hearing has been a game changer for him. Last time we spoke, he was engaging, laughing, and didn't miss a beat.

So as I told you, we try to bring you guests that are interesting, compelling political stories, but people I believe we share a pretty common ideology with. Doesn't mean we're going to agree on everything, but as Ronald Reagan said, if we agree on 80%, we'll come back for the other 20% later.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I've known this gentleman a long time, recently announced a run for the governorship of the amazing, now turning very red state of Ohio. I just saw what looks to be a really glowing endorsement by President Trump. Mr. Vivek Ramaswamy, welcome to the show, sir.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
waving a stick I mean actually waving a stick at him with no microphone screaming where no one can even hear him which is interrupting a primetime speech where people just want to get to bed at some point I mean what a disaster
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Yeah, it's always great. It was so nice to see you in the amusement park with your lovely family. I'm going to assume you were taking just a quick family thing out before you knew you were going to be jumping into the campaign. Because as you know from your presidential campaign, it's a lot of work. Door knocking, county fairs, handshaking. So it was really nice to see you. But you're ready.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I mean, I saw you. You sound very energetic. And no one knows how to campaign better than you do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
We're talking to Vivek Ramaswamy, a recently announced candidate for the governorship of Ohio. Vivek, I know you feel like I do. I know school choice sometimes is not the sexiest issue to talk about. There's national defense, there's tax cuts. I get that. But President Trump passionately believes in it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
The people he's appointed in these positions, whether it be Linda McMahon or Betsy DeVos, who are strong believers in school choice, This is a very important issue in a big parochial, but parochial race like a governorship. You see this movement nationwide.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
If we don't have a strong, educated, well-educated, top-educated population of kids, we're going to be left behind by other countries, especially in this tech-heavy AI generation with quantum computing and other things.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Yeah, I was deeply impacted on a trip to South Korea in my prior line of work where teachers, Vivek, are small G gods. People worship the teaching profession. They're highly paid. It's merit-based. They get the opportunity to work after hours in tutor positions where they're paid handsomely.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
And it's just a shame that, you know, not the teachers, but the unions have made this more about the organization rather than the kids. That's what's really destroying our system.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
No, that's a good point. We're talking to Vivek Ramaswamy, candidate for governor of Ohio. Say you win the spot and you become the governor of Ohio. It does put the squeeze on other Republican governors who may move more slowly where the citizens of their states will say, well, why aren't we doing what happened in Ohio? But let me address something.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
We've known each other a very long time back from my old Fox show where you were a frequent guest on Fox. People may not know, they may know you from running for president, but you had an extremely successful career as a tech space investor for a very long time, very successful career. You also were part of the initial launch of the Doge before you decided to run for governor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Do you plan on taking this Doge, business-like approach that you had in your experience in the private sector to government as well? Because Ohio's a pretty well-run state, it's a red state turning redder, but let's be honest, even well-run states, there's always a little bit of nip and tuck here and there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I would assume that's what you're planning to do to make that state-level government more efficient too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Vivek, last question. We're talking to Vivek Ramaswamy, candidate for governor of Ohio. By the way, very excited about your approach to a zero income tax in Ohio. I can tell you in Florida, that is one of the reasons a huge chunk of people move here. You get an instant raise. But you mentioned something about Cincinnati and Cleveland.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
These are cities with significantly large populations of minority Americans. You saw running for president in the last cycle that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement have made absolutely incredible inroads into minority communities that have been told for too long lies about who the Republican Party are and who people within the party are. I would assume you would be actively campaigning there
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
on that agenda, knowing that that potential is real to swing a whole bunch of voters in our direction.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Vivek, I really wish I had more time with you and I really have to run them over. But I remember I ran into you in an event for President Trump and I said to you, my nephew, who was 11 at the time, you remember this? I said, he loves you, man. So whatever you're doing with the younger vote, he can't even vote. He saw a video of you on TikTok. You're doing a great job.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Really, congratulations on the announcement. Best of luck. You're a good man. You've always been a good friend to me and I appreciate it. Good luck in the race.

You just heard Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Yeah, it was. It was. And I've been pretty, I think, objective when it comes to this. And, you know, you know, President Trump and his team, this this nonsense that they expect, you know, fealty and loyalty to everything they do. You know, they expect friendship and honesty. But, you know, there are some speeches that kind of fell flat. And that was not one of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
I mean, last night was a good one. But what you just said reminded me of I had a friend when I was back in I was when I was a police officer and he would always tell me, you know, in the dating scene, You know, you have to be careful and strategic. Like you want to be in a situation where there's kind of an air around you and not around the other person or, you know, you're going to get rejected.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
In other words, kind of read the room that the State of the Union or joint address last night, to be precise. It's one of those moments where you have to realize what you just said, that you are at a significant.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
snapshots photos and messaging disadvantage you just are i mean nobody even wants to do the rebuttal anymore because it looks like the subordinate speech and the fact that the democrats who are usually smarter at this vince you know they're pretty good at messaging hopey changey stuff terrible at ideas but good at messaging that they didn't get this says they really still haven't gotten their sea legs after that route on election night

Vince, I think you're starting to figure out the Bongino Army don't mess around when they all get together. They have their own groups, right, Jim? They have their own groups on the outside. You have a little McGroin crew, the original P1s. You have the radio people. They all have their own crews and they get together. And when they do something, they do it and they get it done.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You're going to find that out. This is the most loyal audience out there. You know, you have other radio audiences as loyal, but definitely no more because it's not possible. But you're in a Maryland market as well, where gerrymandering is a real problem. I know I ran for Congress out there, and I think that's what's contributed to the Democrats' problem you just discussed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
It's that there are so few swingy, competitive districts anymore because of the way liberal states have been carved up like New York that there's really no money or volunteers or reason per se for you to be a moderate anymore because you're carved into such left-leaning districts that the only way you're gonna win is by saying, let's castrate kids and defund the police. That's the problem.

You're going to figure this out in a couple of weeks. It's about, Jim, what about 21 and you're giving me the ax? And sometimes I mess with Jim Vince, so you need to do this.

The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
producer Jim obviously loves his job and once in a while the audience wants you to kind of throw a curveball at Jim and just like throw some sarcastic quip his way and I have one request for you Vince although I will not be involved in the business my wife Paula who's run it just one last request before I let you go because I'm trying to take it to the end just to mess with Jim here
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
Because I only got a couple of days left to get this right by show timing. You have got to make sure, please, I need your solemn word that you will not allow producer Jim to watch any Auburn Tigers basketball games. It's an inside joke, brother. But if they don't win this national championships year, I'm blaming you and Jim for letting him watch the games. Just give me a word.
The Dan Bongino Show
Sunday Special with Vince Coglianese, Tim Burchett, Byron Donalds, and Vivek Ramaswamy
You will do everything in your power to stop him from viewing these games.

Vance, and their families in this tradition that happens just about every cycle, which is probably done now, thanks to this lady who destroyed it, goes through this national prayer service thing the day after the inauguration. Just so you know, it pretty much happens in every presidential inauguration afterwards. This is probably the end of it. You can thank this bishop.

There's no obligation, only information. Text Dan to the number 989898. Message and data rates apply. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Yesterday, there was another debacle too, folks. One of the things I'm most proud of, and I've been a small part of this, but it's one of our prouder moments, is this show's focus on dismantling the DEI infrastructure of the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
She's really a political activist, deserves no respect from you at all. And this fake bishop in church decides it's a good idea from the pulpit to attack Donald Trump with a political speech. Now, let me say in advance, because I'm not a hypocrite. You may be surprised, but I don't mind addressing political issues in church at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
Matter of fact, Father Marty, who's a good friend, has no problem whatsoever going after current issues and tying it to faith and religion. I'm not a fraud. What I have a problem with is the decorum here. This is a national unity prayer breakfast for Donald Trump. If you don't like Donald Trump and his issues, then you're not the person to speak there.
The Dan Bongino Show

You take this as an opportunity to ruin the whole thing for everybody? Watch this debacle. Check this out.

The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
I don't know whose reaction is better there. J.D. clearly looking towards the second lady, Usha, like, what the hell is going on? Like, where did they find this? Or Donald Trump sitting there like, of course, he's classy. This fake bishop isn't. Turning his head, cocking it to the side a little bit. Like, am I really listening to this right now? A lady forcing left-wing platitudes down.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
Everybody start on a moment of supposed national unity. Or the family. Did you see Tiffany Trump in the background? Right? Tiffany Trump is like... Good for you. Tiffany stays quiet. She's not really the most vocal member of the Trump family when it comes to politics stuff. But she's sitting there like, are you for real? Like, who picked this fake bishop out there? I want to talk about this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
Someone who did this for a living. This is really... I'm not trying to throw anybody in the bus, folks. But again, I'm an outcomes guy. We had a bad outcome yesterday. Trump handled it well. He was asked about it later. He said, listen, I'm not happy with this. Did you like it? It was boring. And then he posted on True Social about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
But I'm going to tell you how we avoid this stuff going forward. Again, I don't have a problem with people speaking out, pastors, preachers, imams, rabbis. I don't care. I don't care. You have a whole bunch of prescriptions on that stuff and supposedly whatever. I'm not getting into that. I don't care. Justin goes to the same church I do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
Father Marty will address these issues and tie him to faith all the time. Cool. Great. The problem is have some class. The Biden administration would never ask me to go speak at a podcast event where Joe Biden was going to attend because they know I would probably say, Mr. President, you suck.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
So my first question here is, folks, when you go out to an event, I don't want to beat this to death, but. When you go out to an event with the now president, okay, and he's sitting there. Look at this, Tiffany. I love it. Tiffany's like, what the hell am I listening to? Laura Trump is like, really? Eric's like, who the hell picked this woman?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
You have staff advance people, secret service advance people, and whammo people, White House military. So military advance people, okay? They all have a mission. The Secret Service's mission is not to get involved in the politics at all. The Secret Service only has one concern at this event. Is this bishop a threat to Donald Trump or not? If the answer is no, what she says is not our business.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
Why? Very simply, the Secret Service is a law enforcement entity that has very serious First Amendment concerns. They cannot arrest this lady for speaking out. She has every right to say what she said. I think it's stupid and wrong, but it's not illegal. The Secret Service cannot get involved in that at all. Now, if she approaches Donald Trump in a threatening manner, they can get involved.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
There's a business in it. Being a racist, there's a business in it on the left. People like Robbie Starbuck and others out there have done a lot of legwork on this, but I'm proud to be a part of this. This is what destroyed the left. I'd say outside of the border and inflation, this is one of the top three issues. It's been their focus on identity politics, and it's for a reason.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
Everybody got it? Get it, got it, good. No need to beat that up. The military does their military stuff, which I'll leave out of that. That's a bigger story on their advance. It is the staff's job, the staff advance, to go through the footprints, to go through who's speaking, to go through the president's actual actions, interactions, and to make sure the president's not embarrassed.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
Hey, man, I'm really sorry to have to bring this up, but who the hell was the staff advance on that? Man, you got to do a better job. You can't put the president in a situation like that. You guys have seen the videos of this woman out there. They were all over the place. This woman talking about how Donald Trump, that he needs to be removed from office.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
She's out there outside with the N95 ridiculous mask on. I mean, this is obviously a political activist. She's trying to tell you a story rather than the story. So going forward, I know these guys have their heads on straight because they've got some really good staffers and folks, these things happen. The pick, the presidential inaugural committee had a thousand things going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - The Most Stunning Thing That Happened At The Inauguration
I'm just saying in the future, Just learn from this and make sure we're going through these speakers. And it would have taken a five second social media search. I mean, we could do it now.

The reason this destroyed the left is it's not a victimless crime. Playing identity politics is a zero-sum game. There isn't a person in America right now who doesn't know someone who's been a victim of this. You don't meet the appropriate racial or sexual orientation category. You were passed up for a promotion.

Asian-Americans kept out of colleges with a perfect SAT score, the college they want, because they weren't the preferred minority class. This stuff has impacted everyone and it pisses people off. If there is one single cultural political issue at a time, inflation being economic, the border being national security, that is decimated and will continue to decimate the left.

A year later, well, you know, had sexual. I'm sorry. Bill Clinton left office, look it up, with high 50s, low 60% approval. Do you have any idea how high that is? In a country that's basically 50-50? Meaning a lot of Republicans liked what Bill Clinton did, a good chunk of them, and a whole ton of Democrats did. How is that?

I'm going to attribute this to Bill Clinton's efforts. Let's be clear. Let's be absolutely clear so there's no misinterpretation.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
Bill Clinton was a Democrat and will always spend like a Democrat. Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress pushed him into some spending controls. But to be fair to history, Bill Clinton signed the budgets and it happened. We're not going to lie about stuff like the Democrats. The Democrats used to celebrate the mythical Clinton surplus, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
Here is a Democrat congressman from Colorado, Michael Bennett. I say the mythical Clinton surplus because you've heard it a thousand times, right, that Bill Clinton ran a government surplus. I'll get to that in a second. But Democrats used to realize that people don't want governments going into piles of red ink. These are quick. Colorado Democrat, again, celebrating the Clinton surplus.

I want to paint a very brief history for you because I think it's worth remembering this contextually. When Bill Clinton, a Democrat, left the presidency, he left behind a surplus.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
Okay, he didn't leave behind a surplus, but you see what I'm trying to get at here? The Democrats are not stupid. They fully understand that the very rational, reasonable, educated American voter is not interested in endless piles of government red ink, so much so that that Democrat, Michael Bennett, is celebrating that Bill Clinton ran this mythical surplus.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
Here's Margaret Hoover, a pretty mainstream Republican. She's doing an interview with Robert Rice. We don't need to hear from him. But here she is, too. You know, again, not some far-right MAGA person or whatever like that. Not that that's even a fair characterization, but you get the point. Talking about the mythical Clinton surplus. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
Okay, there was no Clinton surplus. So I'm going to make two points for you. It seemed contradictory here, but they aren't. The first one, a Democrat, Bill Clinton, left office with unbelievable approval ratings despite a multitude of scandals. I'm telling you because of his efforts to trim government, which led to a pretty decent growth rate while he was in office. Point number one.
The Dan Bongino Show

I know you won't, but don't just stand there and do nothing. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
In other words, if Donald Trump does the same thing, we can steal some of those Democrat voters and carry that over, hopefully into a Don Trump Jr., Eric Trump, or J.D. Vance presidency next. We can steal so many Democrat voters on the spending issue. I know it sounds crazy, but they used to run on this. And the second point I'm going to make is, is the Clinton surplus is a myth.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
And I don't want you to fall for it. Yes, government spending was much lower, no doubt about it. Newt Gingrich and Clinton did a decent job on that. There was never a surplus. This is one of the biggest but most persistent lies in politics. Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich did a decent job on spending. Period, full stop, that's not open for debate. There's a great article.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
It's by this guy, Craig Steiner, but it is worth your time. There was no Clinton surplus. You can read the whole article, but you don't need to. All you need to do is look at this data from the government itself. You will notice every single year of the Clinton presidency, from 93 to 2000, that the government ran a deficit.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
$281 billion, $281 billion, $250 billion, $188 billion, $113 billion, $130 billion, $17.9 billion. So if that's every single year of the Bill Clinton presidency, excuse me. So if the government ran a deficit every year, a deficit means they didn't have enough money, which is the opposite of a surplus. Is anything I'm saying confusing to the libs?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
They got close in 2000 where they only ran a basically $18 billion deficit. There was never a surplus. So, Dan, why do they keep talking about a surplus? Because of Social Security and Medicare funds that were basically stolen. Read the article. There was never a surplus. If there was a surplus, the freaking deficit would have gone down and would have been a surplus.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: The Only People Who Love Crime Are Criminals!!!
No year of the Clinton presidency was there a surplus. There was a deficit every single time. They were small. Good for them. It's not real. Don't fall for it. Don't be a sucker. Read this guy's article.

Here's one more I'm going to play for. Here's another one that would instantly fall apart. Who's the dumbest male member of Congress? Quick in the chat. Who knows? Yes. Dan Goldman, not the dumbest member. That's AOC. You all know the chart. We've been watching drone footage forever of an invasion at our southern border. We know the numbers.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Watch Out! Here Is The Left’s Plan For AI
We have said the border's not secure, that the border is under the control of cartels and others. People like lefties like Dan Goldman and Joe Biden and Mayorkas and others have been telling, no, no, no, the border's secure. We run the border. That's a conspiracy theory. AI would shut this stuff out instantly.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Watch Out! Here Is The Left’s Plan For AI
Here's Dan Goldman just the other day admitting what AI would have pointed out right away, that yes, in fact, the border is under control of the cartels. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Watch Out! Here Is The Left’s Plan For AI
similar to what happened with the industrial revolution and electricity. I'm not telling you, however, it is all going to be good, a technology smarter than us. I've been very concerned about this for a long time, because if it's smarter than us, we don't understand what it's doing. I gave you the example all the time about my dog in the backyard. A bird died in the backyard one time, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Watch Out! Here Is The Left’s Plan For AI
No, I thought we didn't know. I thought the border was secure. You told us that, right? You said the border was secure. You see? They lie about everything. This is their paranoia about AI. So that was a clip from the Dan Bongino Show. You can watch the full show on Rumble. All you have to do is go to rumble.com slash bongino where we go live every weekday at 11 a.m. Eastern Time.

The Bongino Brief: Watch Out! Here Is The Left’s Plan For AI
The dog's been in the backyard a thousand times. One day, the dog goes into this area. She always goes. I see the dead bird. I start screaming at her because she wants to go sniff or chew on the dead bird. Lucy, the dog doesn't understand. She's been in that spot a thousand times. She's just like, wow, my owner's really mean. He's yelling at me. That's us with AI.

Sorry, everything's backwards. Okay. That's me with my right hand. So thank you, Michael. I appreciate it. So there's the bona fides. That was a cover of the New York Daily News. My shoulders hurt now. That thing weighs five pounds. It looked like it weighed 50. Of course, Michael manhandles it. I'm like, ah, proving my point that these are all show muscles that don't even work anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
It's all for show. You want to kick my ass? You probably could. But I was responsible for the section of the presidential inaugural route for Barack Obama's first inauguration. And I was specifically responsible for the most important section. Again, you're free to FOIA the Secret Service and ask about this stuff. The section, as you can see in the picture, it's very straight, very straight.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
It's like this. The thing is like this. They're like, is this straight? We'll put it up later. Very yesky, totally straight right there. I was responsible for the section where Barack Obama was to get out of the car. So let me just say this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
I think if President Trump at this point, given the people in charge of the Secret Service at the top and their known incompetence, I think if President Trump were to stay in the car and forego the walk, I would be comfortable. I have not been briefed in on the security plan. I wish I was. I would like to review it myself because I've done it before and I want to see what they're looking at.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
I know exactly what it's supposed to look like. Now, here's the bad news first, okay? I said I'd get to it. The FBI, who I don't trust as far as I could throw, the FBI, this is very short. This is a manager at the FBI, obviously responsible for a portion of the inaugural security. Here he is saying that they're not tracking any threats.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
Do you really believe that there are no threats to the inauguration? Are you insane? Whatever the FBI says these days, I tend to believe the opposite. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
There's no obligation, only information. Text Dan to the number 989898. Message and data rates apply. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. Here's the bad news first about the inauguration. You're asking me, do I think the inauguration is safe? After yesterday's briefing, my answer is probably not. And it pains me to say that. Now, it's one of those things I'm speculating.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
Okay, that's the bad news. Why is that the bad news? Because again, I don't trust the FBI and I tend to believe given their credibility on prior issues, which is zero, I tend to believe the opposite of what they're saying. I would almost rather the FBI come out and say we're tracking very serious threats, because then I would believe they were doing something about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
The problem is there probably are very serious threats. Again, I have not been briefed in on the matter. Of course, he could be telling the truth, and I hope he is. I just don't trust him. Why do I not trust the FBI?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
Because there's no reason to trust the FBI when it comes to anything involving Donald Trump, because they've been on the opposite side of the truth of nearly every major scandal involving the FBI. It's going to take a long time to rebuild trust once Kash Patel hopefully gets confirmed. More in a minute, but first.

The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
Folks, I've been using the Bone Charge infrared sauna blanket and Paula's been using the red light face mask. I gotta tell you, I've been using it too. Helps me fall asleep at night. Ever since they sent to me, can't recommend them highly enough. This is a really great company. We just, I just bought some more blue light glasses for upstairs. I kept forgetting mine downstairs.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
I first turned to the sauna blanket a while ago because of the power of sauna. I encourage you to look it up. It's incredible. It helps me sleep at night as my body tries to cool down. Great for muscle recovery, detoxification. It's easy to use, the bone charge sauna blanket. Just wrap yourself up and let the infrared heat work its magic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
I've noticed an absolutely incredible difference with my sleep and my recovery from my workouts, especially at age 50. Gotta use every life hack possible. Paula uses the red light face mask. It's incredibly impressive. She's been using it to help improve her skin's texture and reduce inflammation. Look at her pictures on my Instagram. You'll see for yourself.

The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
Because I know this individual well, I promise you, I knew Ron Rowe well, the director too, and Ron screwed up bad, the acting director now, and he needs to go. It's not personal. Ron was very nice to me when I was on the detail. Ron is not qualified to be the secret service director. I'm sorry, based on what happened in Butler and what happened in Palm Beach. He's just not.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
There's only so many failures where you're, and by the way, January 6th too, where he was also in the management chain. He's not qualified. The guy in charge of what we call WFO, the Washington field office, who is basically running on the ground inaugural security from a management perspective is this guy. His name is Matt McCool. His name is public. I'm not giving anything up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
He briefed yesterday, so it's not like I'm giving up his name. He gave a public briefing yesterday. I know Matt very well. I've got a very, very long work history with him, a lot longer than I had with Ron Rowe. Matt is a very competent guy. Matt is a very smart guy. Matt knows protection. Matt, very importantly, knows tactical work as well, has a lot of experience on the tactical side.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
He's overseeing this. Here he is during the briefing yesterday saying that they're looking at out-of-the-box thinking on this one. I hope he's correct, but check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that puts me at ease a little bit because, again, I know Matt to be a very competent guy. Just to clear up some of the jargon, not a knock on him, but, you know, professionals talk in jargon a lot. He refers to NSSEs, how they've done a lot of those. NSSEs are National Special Security Events. Why is that significant?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
If something is designated a NSSE, a National Special Security Event, the Secret Service is in charge of the security plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
The inauguration, ladies and gentlemen, hasn't happened yet. I'm just afraid that the people in charge at the top of the Secret Service and certainly at the FBI do not know what they're doing. In case you're asking, by the way, about bona fides in this situation, you know what? I'd ask you guys to take that picture off the wall, but I don't know how heavy it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
I have said in my reform proposals for the United States Secret Service, as much as I adore my prior colleagues in the Secret Service, the ones that didn't screw up in Butler and the ones that didn't screw up the management chain in Palm Beach and everything else, and on January 6th, The Secret Service should no longer be in charge of NSSEs. They shouldn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
They should be a part of it, but they should not be in charge. You have other federal entities that should be more of a complete task force model. The Secret Service does not have the bureaucratic pull. to do the things they need to do to make people do the things they need to do. I'm not sure that makes sense, but there are other entities that can take this away from the Secret Service.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
They should not be in charge of NSSEs. They should be in charge of presidential and vice presidential security and their families. That's it. All the other stuff needs to go away. President Trump and the team decide they ever want to talk about this. It's something I plan on bringing up. I've been talking to members of Congress about it extensively.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
You want to keep the president and his family alive. There's only one way to do it. It's to dump everything else the Secret Service does and focus on keeping them alive. It's not complicated. Here's Matt McCool again addressing something that I am deeply concerned about. It is the air picture. Folks, I can't tell you this enough.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
Explaining the damage drones can do and why they are a critical threat is very easy. Human beings can't fly. I can't say this enough. If you see a drone overhead and there is not a vigorous plan to take it down, countermeasures, electronic interference, whatever you plan on doing, netting, basically making it a harder target. I don't know what their plan is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
I'm just telling you, I'm hearing from sources it's not nearly as strong as they're claiming. Let's hope I'm wrong and that these sources, that there's updated information. Here's McCool again from the Washington field office talking about a drone plan saying, hey, don't be alarmed. We're going to have drones in the sky too. Okay, I hope he's right and I hope they've got a good plan. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
By the way, dude, it looks like, come on, dude, but he's a friend. He was a friend of mine. I don't talk to him. I say was, not that he's not now, but we don't really talk about each other anymore. He looks like he's cut out of Central Castle. And with a name like McCool, perfect, right, for this guy. He's as competent as he looks.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Safety Concerns At The Trump Inauguration
So let's hope that drone plan, if they can knock out the drone plan, I am convinced on the big six, they're all set. tactical, medical, chem bio, airborne, IED, fire, kind of geological disturbance stuff. I think on the other big six threats, they're good to go. It's this freaking air picture that really scares the shit out of me. So that was a clip from the Dan Bongino show.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Dan Signs Off For The Last Time
I'm just, I chose early on to interact with my audience in kind of a different way and it's paid me back so many dividends and there's nothing more incredible than going out at a book signing and someone goes, Hey, how'd that treat you gave Lucy the other day work out? And you're like, how'd you know that? Like, you said it on the radio. I'm like, I did?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Dan Signs Off For The Last Time
Like, you know, people, the relationship seems so asymmetric at times. Like, you know about me, but I don't know about you. But I know all I need to know about you, which is you've been there for me when I needed you. And to walk away from this was, I promise you, was not easy. But I absolutely know that this was the right thing to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Dan Signs Off For The Last Time
I've told you over and over that measure the effectiveness of what you do in your life by how people who stand and tell you to stop react. And the reaction has been exactly what I expected. I promise you this. I'm going there with a clear mission in mind. I go there with a clear head. This was done for the right reasons.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Dan Signs Off For The Last Time
And I am really, really, really going to miss doing this and being here with you every day. From this point on, if you follow me on... Deep breaths. Breathe in. It's easier. My social media accounts are not going to be abandoned, but I won't be posting about politics. It'd be inappropriate during my time. There's understandable restrictions on that, which make perfect sense.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Dan Signs Off For The Last Time
But you can still follow me. I'll be opening up different accounts and official accounts and things like that. But I have to stay out of the political space because it's the right thing to do and it's the rules. And I hope you understand that. I'm not going there to be some partisan. I know the people who hate my guts in the media. I don't expect you to understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Dan Signs Off For The Last Time
The idea of putting aside your politics to do a job is definitely foreign to you. I totally get that. But it's not to me. You know, I proudly protected two Democrat presidents and a Republican. No problem at all. I'm not sure you could do that, but I did. And now it's a different protection role. So I still got a radio show to do, which is crazy. I'm going to get through that.

Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. You ever wonder this? This is the easiest poll ever. I tell Bongino, but I don't even want to waste your time on this one. You ever wonder how these freaking politicians get so rich? They have no life skills. Their only life skills are they have connections to other politicians or their daddy or mommy was a politician.

Some of you may have heard this segment before in a prior podcast, but if you haven't, you're making a big mistake if you don't listen again, because I want you to tattoo this on your brain, okay? I was running for office a while ago. This guy Chuck Ecker was the Howard County executive on a run in Maryland.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
And we got in this conversation about how people in government get rich and why government just continues to grow despite the fact that everybody, sane person, hates big government. And he said, Dan, you got to understand, buddy, there is no power in yes. There is only power in government bureaucrats telling people no. And I said, I mean, I got what he was saying, but I said, explain.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
I said, I want you to think about it. You're a, whatever, throw something simple out there. You're a building inspector in a place. You know, my dad was once, I'm not knocking him. If you have a tendency to corruption, there's no power in you approving everybody's building permits.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
If you're corrupt, you want to say no a lot so that people have to slip you some money under the table to figure it out, right? There is no power in yes, ladies and gentlemen. There's only power in no.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
That's why government likes to expand regulations and rules because it's more rules you have to obey that they have to, when you go to them, you're going to have to ask them, am I following the rules by building this building? You get the point? There is no power in yes. There's only power in no. And that's how these people get rich. They lobby you to yes. Remember that line.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
There is a lot of money in lobbying you to yes. That's why dumb people get really rich. More in a minute, but first. Hey, one of my favorite traditions is choosing New Year's resolutions.

The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Here, I want to play this clip with Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas, who's lied about everything to get ahead, a woman with no life skills other than making powwow chow. I want you to listen to this segment about banks, where she throws out a completely ridiculous, absurd, obscene charge that banks under the last three weeks of Donald Trump are now free to scam people.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
I'm going to play the response in a second. But this is the left in a post-truth world, just fabricating charges to scare banks out there because they want to be paid off to get to yes. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Here's the response from Senator Mike Rounds, where he asks a really simple question of Jerome Powell. Jerome Powell's running our Fed. I don't think he's doing a particularly good job. But they, of course, oversee the banking system in some respect.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
He's like, so this senator who's living in a post-truth liberal Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell type world, is suggesting that banks are now free to scam people. That's a serious charge. I mean, she is a U.S. senator, correct? Is there any actual evidence to back that up? And by the way, Powell's not even a Trump guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
I want you to listen to the answer because she just made it up, dude, like everything else the liberals do. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Just, I want you to digest what I told you yesterday in the podcast and the radio show. You are qualitatively better than them. The quality of your material on social media and elsewhere, this vast MAGA army, Bongino army, the conservative crew, the Tea Party, you're better than them. They lie about everything all the time because that's all they have.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
They don't really know anything. They add no value. They didn't invent like some big, smart, super ridiculous AI tech company or send like a rocket into space. and yet they're really rich. There's this Doge account that put this out. Nancy Pelosi, annual salary, $223,000. Net worth, $202 million.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
And then when they don't lie, what they do is they engage in emotional meltdowns by the idiocracy. Listen, we have dumbasses on our side, too. OK, I get it. Get it. Got it. Good. We do. We have some people in the Republican Party screw up all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
I could mention names, but I prefer not to engage in Republican on Republican political violence right now because there's so much stupidity on the Democrat side. Here's what I'm talking about. Here's Jasmine Crockett, who is in Jim's dumbest member of Congress. A March sadness thing is coming out soon. But Jasmine Crockett is probably going to get a number one seat.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
She has rapidly moved up the ranks. I want you to listen to what she says. Put aside. I know you're going to laugh in advance because it's but pretend this is a serious person for a second. She's making the case here, or attempting to, that we should not have people with a tech background go in and analyze the government's technology. Because, like, why?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Like, the government that's probably using smartware from 1980 is better at tech stuff than the actual tech companies? This is the hill you want to die on. The answer is yes. Here, check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
So you don't want technology people to come in and actually observe the technology used to pay out $7 trillion of government spending. You guys work here, right? When we brought, we brought Jasmine, not Jasmine Crockett. We have a Jasmine. She's actually smart. One of the first things I asked her to do, do you guys remember the inventory thing?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Folks, we have like, seriously, like four or five people that work here. That's it. We're not spending $7 trillion. Bongino Inc., we said, hey, we have a lot of equipment for roadshows and some of the stuff was missing. Can we get an inventory system? And you know what we did? We're going to use like technology. This is a $7 trillion government.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
And this dipwad wants to make the case that we can't have tech people analyze the tech? I will never forget my first few days being an agent. I had left the NYPD, which had its own technology problem, of course, you know, government. And we had these things called TNAs, time in attendance records. TNA can mean a lot of things. This is not an Eric Swalwell segment. It was time in attendance.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
We had these TNA things. You'd fill them out and we would punch them in this computer on this program called Smartware or something. And I went home to Paula, who was my girlfriend at the time, And she was a database developer. And I said, do you know what smartware is? She's like, isn't that from like the 70s or something? I go, yeah, we use it in the secret service. She laughed.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
She couldn't believe it. She was like, why? I'm like, because it's the government. That's why. But Jasmine Crockett does not want actual tech people going in there. Why? Put up that thing again about the net worth. Because, folks, there are a lot of really stupid people getting really rich off government payouts, the gravy train, the influence operation.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
I'm always a little skeptical of these net worth figures because the ones about mine online are really off, and it's so easy to figure out if you just go to, like, the publicly traded companies. However, I think we can both agree it's worth a lot of money. Mitch McConnell says his annual salary, $200 million. Net worth, $95 million. Chuck Schumer, $75 million. Elizabeth Warren, $67 million.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
And the reason they don't want you picking up the rock and saying, hey, man, let me look under this and see what's living under there is because they know when you see that the government bookkeeper is corrupted and stealing money that you're never going to trust the bookkeeper again. Listen, I got to make this point again today because it's really important.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
I've been getting a lot of questions on Rumble and Facebook and Twitter and elsewhere. A lot of people have been asking me this. The essence of the question is this. Dan, if you follow the money and a lot of these politicians are getting really rich off government, shady, fraudulent, maybe criminal payouts, then I don't understand why they wouldn't actually like the doge.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Because the doge would clean up fraud and it would be eventually when they get back in power, more money for them, right? Like if you're a criminal and you have mob bosses fight all the time, it's not that they're objecting to mob behavior. They're the mob too. It's like they don't want the mob taking their money. Fair question, correct?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Why would government people getting rich off government not want at least some fraud being detected so that it's more money for them? And the reason is what I just told you. Once people see, possibly for the first time, with this dynamic duo, like the Wild Samoans from the old WWF of Trump and Elon, how bad the government has been spending your money,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
What do you think is going to happen with Social Security recipients who were told in 10 years, hey, we can't afford to pay you your full payout anymore? You get it now? You see what's going on? You got people on Social Security their entire life who busted their ass. Listen, folks, the program was designed poorly. Put that aside a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
The program was designed poorly, but you have people who busted their ass their entire lives. You got a guy who worked in a coal mine for 30 years, probably got black lung. He finally retires. Maybe he enjoys five years of retirement. Maybe sees it goes on a vacation once in a while, busted his ass. He paid into this crap broken system forever. And all the money's gone.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
They're going broke in 10 years. Don't take it from me. Read the Social Security Actuary's own report. You see why they're so afraid now of turning the rock over? There will be a freaking revolt in this country of seniors and Medicare recipients when they find out that trillions of dollars over decades were wasted on fraud, scumbag schemes, mob tactics, and all this other crap.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
So they'd rather just make the whole thing go away. Don't ever forget, folks, it's the same. Sorry, I know I got a lot to get through, but I love this government stuff, like cracking the whole government code for you. There's a reason the adage in DC, a program for the poor is a poor program, is real too. Why do people who are really rich, why do they need social security?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
I'm talking about really rich folks. I'm not talking about people who even make a millionaire. I'm talking about people who make like 10 million a year. You ever wonder that? You don't need it. It's like you leave that as a tip in a restaurant. Why do even liberals think about this? I'm going to give you a second. Some of you in the chat may have heard this before. You may know this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Folks, divide these numbers by 10. Say they're not, just pretend for a second they're not even accurate. Say Pelosi's worth $20 million and McConnell's worth $9.5 and Elizabeth Warren's $6.7. Where the hell did they get this money, folks? That's actually not a bad point. I mean, I just watched Nosferatu. Should I? He's like, you know, we may have to.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
Why do liberals themselves even fight for the fact that rich people should get Social Security? The reason is a program for the poor is a poor program. Why? Because they know rich people. You ever hear this, Michael? They know rich people have a lot of influence in Congress and they know that they will fight to keep the program alive as long as they get to dip into the pot, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Doge's Next Target Has Been Identified!!!
They don't give a shit if the program goes bankrupt. All they care about is that they control the money. So that was a clip from the Dan Bongino Show. You can watch the full show on Rumble. All you have to do is go to rumble.com slash Bongino, where we go live every weekday at 11 a.m. Eastern time. Hope to see you there.

The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Open an IRA in gold with Birch Gold and you can get free silver shipped directly to your home. It's the only time of the year that Birch Gold gives away a free one ounce silver eagle for every $5,000 purchase. Simply convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold and Birch Gold will send you free silver.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Ah... He just doesn't know if the public's at risk, and that's the concerning part? Yeah. Yeah, that is the concerning part. Folks, you know I don't cover these kind of click-baity stories. This is not one of those things. You have a bunch of people in a constitutional public we've entrusted with power who don't like to look stupid. They don't want to look stupid, okay? They'll lie to you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
They'll give you a fake answer. They'll obfuscate, but they don't want to look stupid. Come on. Let's be honest. They'll be commies, scumbags, everything else. They'll lie, but saying in public you don't know is generally not a good thing. They don't like to do that. You've now got Jeff Van Drew, congressman. I don't know. From New Jersey. Malia Takis. Congresswoman. New York. New Jersey area.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
New York, New Jersey area. I don't know. Corrine Jean-Pierre. She doesn't know anything. She's like, I don't know. That's not unusual for her. You got an FBI agent. Hey, man. I don't know. Does anybody know? Justin says, I don't know if anybody knows. I don't know either. I'm telling you, this is some foreign adversary who is scoping out something sensitive.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
The reason, by the way, it's a hot spot in New Jersey is because it's a very population-dense area and a lot of people are seeing it. I'm not so sure this isn't happening all over the country. Matter of fact, there have been reports elsewhere as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
So hang out. I got a few questions about that from listeners. Here's a tweet from Congressman Van Drew. Folks, I have no reason to believe this guy's lying about any of this. He says, first, the Chinese spy balloon drifted across U.S. airspace for a week. Yeah, that's right. Now unidentified drones are flying over New Jersey, avoiding radar detection. Gaps, listen to the last line.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Gaps in our airspace are being exploited. And because of it, the safety of Americans is at risk. Dan, you're throwing this out there. You think it may be China or some foreign adversary. Why? Because I'm listening to people who are in the know in the area who are probably being told things but can't say it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Gaps in our airspace are being exploited, and because of it, the safety of Americans is at risk. This is the congressman in that area. Watch this interview with him on Fox, talking about these drone orb UAP sightings in the area. I want you to listen carefully to the language. Sometimes they know things, but they don't want to say things. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Text Dan to 989898 before December 18th for a free info kit on gold and to claim your eligibility for free silver on qualifying purchases from Birch Gold. Text DAN to 989898. Message and data rates apply. Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. I'm going to throw something out at you right up front here. They know exactly who owns these drones and what they're doing in the sky.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Folks, the congressman in and around the area is, quote, hoping that the U.S. is not behind this China thing. He's hoping it's not a foreign adversary. Listen, hope is not a solution. Now, I'm reading a Rumble chat while the clip is playing, and I get it. No matter what you say in this— I love everyone in the chat. Obviously, everybody's here. We open up the chat so you can have your opinion.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
No matter what you say, you piss people off. You tell people it's aliens. They're like, you're a conspiracy theorist. You tell people it's nothing to worry about. It's just Amazon or whatever. They're like, oh, my gosh, Dan, this could be a real threat. You tell people, hey, man, I think this is China or a foreign adversary. Like you're trying to induce panic. I'm not inducing shit. Panic kills.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Don't shit the bed ever. I'm exchanging information with you. You do what you want with it. My job is to get you information, period. More in a minute, but first. Birch Gold. Open an IRA in gold with Birch Gold. You can get free silver shipped directly to your home. That's right. It's the most wonderful time of the year.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
The only time of the year that Birch Gold gives away a free one-ounce Silver Eagle for every $5,000 purchase. And here's the best part. You don't have to pay a penny out of pocket. Simply convert an existing IRA or 401k. into a tax-sheltered IRA and physical gold, and Birch Gold will send you a free silver coin directly to your home.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Now, you may be thinking, why do you need to diversify into gold? My guy's headed to D.C. Things are good. Well, here's the facts. An administration trying to reverse a $35 trillion national debt in just four years, like a field mouse trying to stop a freight train. It's tough. Can't even afford to pay the interest on the debt, let alone the principal. So take action now.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Text DAN to 989898 before December 18th for a free info kit on gold and to claim your eligibility for free silver on qualifying purchases from Birch Gold. Do this before December 18th. And again, text DAN to the number 989898 for peace of mind that lasts longer than four years. Message and data rates apply. Folks, Congress gets briefings on this stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Congress gets briefings on this stuff because they got to fund a lot of this stuff. Now, not to be clear, not every member of Congress, depending on your committee, is going to get a briefing on every little detail of what's going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
And with this deep state we have that is terrified of their shortcomings and inadequacies, knowing there's a new administration coming in, I believe we're being tested right now. Someone's sending a message. Look what they've been hiding from you. Watch. Just pay attention to the story. The footprints are all there. Here's another congresswoman I know pretty well, Nicole Malliotakis.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
She represents the area, northern New Jersey, New York, the Verrazano Bridge, which if you know New York, you know the Verrazano Bridge very well. It's in the New York, New Jersey area with that connection point, right? She is right in that area right there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Nicole Malliotakis, you would think, would be one of the people like Van Drew who is getting some kind of a briefing on what is going on over here. Here's Nicole Malliotakis talking about the Verrazano Bridge seeing a lot of this activity right now. This is a critical, critical junction point in that northeast area of the United States. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
But they don't want to tell you for a reason. The reason is the United States government and the deep staters involved in it They don't want to scare you with their own inadequacy. Folks, I'm telling you right now, they know who these drones belong to. We are at real risk here. Our airspace is not secure. They don't know what to do with these drones.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Folks, I'm telling you they have the answer. I know they have the answer. So why won't they tell anyone the answer? Because the answer is we don't know. That's the answer. And they don't want Congress people like Malia Takis, Van Drew, and others out there, Chris Smith and others asking questions, they don't want them saying the obvious follow-up, which is what? How the hell do you not know?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
You have a trillion-dollar military budget. You're busy with woke DEI bullshit in the Pentagon. Oh, oh, oh, oh. And you can't tell us who this is? Folks, they don't know. Oh, they know when they're hiding it. They either don't know or they know and are hiding it and the answer's not good.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Here's Kareem Jean-Pierre at the White House podium yesterday, totally, completely incompetent, looking annoyed at the question because I'm telling you, Biden does not want to admit while they were busy reorienting the Pentagon to be a social justice organization around the world that our airspace is completely at risk from technologies we both do and don't understand and don't know what to do with.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
The military does not know what to do with these things because they don't have any kind of force plan against them, use of force plan. What are they going to do? Shoot them out of the sky? They don't know what to do. Folks, I got to, let's just say, trust me on this show. Please. There's more here. They don't know what to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
You all thought the Secret Service had an elaborate airspace security plan too. Until you found out they had a dude trying to operate a drone that didn't even think to get a cell signal up in time. They were out in the middle of nowhere and the drone didn't work. That 20-year-old with an Amazon drone would ever beat them. You think our military's got this thing figured out at the leadership level?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
You sure? Because it's your national security at risk. Here's Kareem Jean-Pierre, again, looking totally annoyed at the question. Folks, they're not giving you an answer because I'm telling you they don't know or they know and they just don't want to tell you. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
And, you know, I said bottom line up front, so let me, I hate teases because they're for morons. Oh, stay tuned later in the show. If you like the show, you'll stay no matter what. I'm 95% sure, if not more. It's China or some foreign adversary. Has some role in it. Could be wrong. I'm throwing it out there, and I'm basing it on a few different things. Let's dig in. Receipts matter, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
You don't have a timeline, but he's been made aware of it. You just don't remember when? It sounds like kind of a BFD, a big freaking deal. Airspace in the sensitive area of the United States seems to be infiltrated by objects you're claiming in a public podium. You have no freaking idea what they are. Folks, listen, man. Nobody panic. We're panicking. We have a powerful military.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
We're not going to be invaded tomorrow by aliens or China, okay? Forget the panic line, okay? You don't shit the bed no matter what. Concern? You have to be freaking crazy to not be concerned about this story. Because there's only two scenarios. I can't say this enough.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Either they have no idea who has violated our domestic airspace in sensitive areas, which is a 10 out of 10 on the what the hell is going on meter, Or a 9 out of 10, which is they do know, they can't do anything about it, and they're lying to you about it. That's maybe a 9.5. It gets even worse. By the way, Kareem Jean-Pierre, here's the key line.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
DHS, Department of Homeland Security, for the liberals listening, and the FBI are closely tracking it. How closely? They can't figure it out? Did you follow one of these things? Did you see where it landed? Are you tracking it on airspace? Folks, I'm going to put a little cap on this thing in a minute. And you're going to see what I mean.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
Holman Jenkins at the Wall Street Journal has been reporting on this forever. Forever. He's a great reporter. This is not new, this story about airspace violations. And he's going to explain to you in this piece exactly what I've been telling you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
That there's a whole lot going on here and they're afraid of Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth coming into the Pentagon as Commander-in-Chief and Defense Secretary going, what the hell's been on our airspace for the last five years? And them going, I don't know, man. What do you mean you don't know? This is a bigger story. Here's an FBI agent up on Capitol Hill yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: What The F*** Is Going On In New Jersey?!
being questioned about this UAP UFO phenomenon. I think the most disturbing answer is the last 10 seconds, where again, this guy's on the record here, and he says, hey man, I wish we knew, but we just don't know. How do you not know? You seem to know everything about a pee-pee hoax and a fake tape and spying on Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show

They can't even figure out how to get water from a fire hydrant and you continue to support these idiots? This isn't the time to bullshit. It is the time to talk about it before your house and neighborhood burns down next. It's a fire hydrant. You can't even figure out how to get water out of a fire hydrant. That's how stupid government is. You know what? You know what?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Government's become a suggestion of goodwill. Government's a four-way stop sign. No one actually stops at it because you think the other guys, that's government. They think someone else will fix it. So it's just a suggestion they're going to do things, right? No one stops at a four-way stop. They don't. They roll to it. The other guy will stop. That's what government is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
One big freaking four-way stop sign. We don't worry. Someone else will stop. I don't need to do it. My job's safe. That's how well they work, right? Justin said, right. The fire hydrants in LA are like gun-free zone signs. Again, they're suggestions of a solution. See, we'll fix your door to fire, except there's no actual water in it. Just like the gun-free zone sign.

And whether government sucks or not, you never get a refund. It doesn't matter. Government never goes out of business. There's no pressure for it to go out of business. The media protects them from any bad press. Imagine being a restaurant that food poisons people every night and some review site like a Yelp or whatever deletes every negative review. That's the media.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
It's the best analogy I can ever give you. That's the media to the business of government. It is no incentive to not suck. People are dead.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
The damage in Los Angeles and some of the surrounding areas is going to be so catastrophic when this is over, despite repeated warnings, that the fact that to this day, some, a lot, but not all, some media people are even coming around, you'll see what I mean in a minute, are still protecting these idiots.

Meanwhile, if this was Ron DeSantis, I'm telling you they'd be called for public executions right now. It's absolutely disgusting. And then you got this loser in the White House who, again, did nothing about this. California is a state in the United States. Joe Biden's president of the United States. Joe Biden could have asked questions about this like Donald Trump did, fire management.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
It is still a big state. California is kind of important to the union. Would Joe Biden do nothing? But he flew out there yesterday. And here is Joe Biden doing what Joe Biden does. How many times have I told you this, folks in the chat? How many times have I reminded you Joe Biden is what? Folks, I'm telling you, I know this from damn good sources. Trust me on this.

You have a massive failure of the left-wing model of big government right now going on right in front of your very eyes. And the left is desperate to get you to shut up about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
I've always been candid about my sources, okay? Joe Biden is a sociopath. I'm telling you, he's a sociopath. He sees no consequence to his actions whatsoever. Everything is about Joe Biden, enriching Joe Biden, and to everyone else, you get the double-barrel middle finger. Here he is out there in California in one of the biggest catastrophes you're going to see in modern times in Los Angeles.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
And what does he decide to do? Announce ceremoniously and in a celebratory manner that he's a great-grandfather? Joe! Can I just be sure? Nobody gives a shit, bro. Nobody cares. Their house just burned down. What do you want to do? A freaking gender reveal? Look, we popped the balloon. It's blue. What? Nobody cares, bro. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
That's a great point he just made. He always does this. I don't want to make it personal, given that all your houses just burned down, every childhood memory, all of your memorabilia, photos, your baseball card collection, the mom's jewelry you passed down, your engagement ring, your will and testament, your legal documents, your business records. It's time for an announcement.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Let's do a gender reveal. It's a boy. Nobody gives a shit, bro. Nobody cares. No, I mean nobody. Technically, that could be considered a hyperbolic statement. You're exaggerating. No, no, no. I don't even intend to exaggerate. Nobody cares in that area about you being a great-grandfather. You're going to jump in the shower again? You slob. That's who this guy is. He's a sociopath.

Finally, at least one member of the media, this is a Sky News reporter, has decided to do some journalism and stuff with the climate change. Really? That's funny. We thought it was the lack of water management and a bunch of dry brush in a fire-prone area. I don't know. Call me crazy. I'll be crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Here's the mayor of Los Angeles, which, fellas, you hear she made it back to L.A. ? Finally, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, another commie. She made it back. She was in Africa. What was she doing in Africa and Ghana? Who the hell knows? Who cares? She's taking a trip, you know, need a little vacation. I mean, she's been mayor for so long. And she was just exactly. She's in Ghana. Yeah, Ghana.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
But L.A. 's burning. Exactly. Exactly. So she finally makes it back to her burning down city. She's like Nero. Surprised she didn't come off fiddling off the plane. Here is a Sky News reporter finally doing a little bit of homework. Guys, wouldn't you agree? You've seen the clip. Producer Jimmy, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
At least she gives some very detailed answers as to where she was, why she stole money from the fire department, why there's been no fire management stuff. The answers, wouldn't you agree, guys, were very thorough. And she put to rest any allegations of mismanagement on her part. Check out these incredibly fine answers. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Now, I want to be absolutely clear. If these catastrophic apocalyptic fires happened in Texas, Florida, or Mississippi, there would be ringing condemnation from every piece of scum in the media calling for public executions of governors, state, local mayors, officials, county commissioners, and anyone else involved.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Now I know what you're thinking. If you are watching live on Rumble at 11 a.m. Eastern, you saw the video. But if you're watching audio on demand later on, say, Apple or Spotify, you're thinking, why did Guy, Justin or Michael mess with the clip and edit out the mayor's responses? You said they were wonderful. They didn't, folks. There are no responses. That is the audio.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
She sits there, and I encourage you to watch the video because it's even worse. And as Justin, we're watching this all day. We watch them together. The show's live, so it's not edited. We don't cut the things in later. Justin's like, at least move your mouth and pretend you're going to answer something. And like you're thinking about something.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
She's sitting there like in stunned disbelief that anyone's asking her a question about her city burning. Like, how dare you? I am the mayor of Los Angeles. It's not my problem that the damn city's burning to the ground. And then you see how she storms down. The jetway there. And that poor lady with the thing on her nose, she like nearly knocks that lady over. Get out of my way.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
We got to get away from this Sky News guy. Listen, I don't know you, Sky News guy. I don't know if you're a liberal or whatever. I don't really care. But you may be the first guy to ever ask a question. Look at this. Watch this lady. She's got a little bandage on her nose. This lady, they can't bump this. They're like, okay, let's get away from this guy quick. Here we go. Here's lady.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Oh, get out of the way, lady. Beat it. Yeah, push it. Practically, if there was a door there, they'd push her right through it. They're like, get away from this guy quick. You never seen Karen Bass move so fast. Look at her. She's getting a good hamstring workout. Move fast. Is that an incline? Maybe get some calf work in too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Of course, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump was right again about this. But because the media can't get their heads out of their ass and cover Donald Trump fairly, and they're so focused on the emotions of hating Donald Trump, not the actual problems Donald Trump brings up, like, hey, we've got an inflation problem, right? Nazi. Hey, that thing in California, you'd never believe it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
They're diverting a bunch of water from where it's needed. Water's running dry in certain areas of California. The farms have been complaining about it forever. You've got a dry fire problem in Los Angeles. Santa Ana winds. Those are brand new, by the way. Do you guys know about that? It's the first time it's ever happened, the Santa Ana winds. It's a joke. I've never heard of those before.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
But because Democrat liberal commies run California, Guy, can we go a little bit out of order? Can you pull that Politico tweet up? What do you get? You get no condemnation of Democrats at all, and you get a bunch of Republicans' pounce stories. Republicans unleash on never about the actual failures. Look at this. Politico.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
I'm not even a meteorologist. I've heard of the Santa Ana winds. I don't even live on the West Coast. I live in Florida. I live in Stewart. We don't have the Stewart-Anna winds. I don't know what, even I know what they are. It's wind. And you think wind is good for stopping fires? You think? Matter of fact, there's an expression. You know what it's called, guys? They call it fanning the flames.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
You ever hear of it? Fanning the flames. Of course, because they can't get their heads out of their ass. When Donald Trump brings up a problem, he's a Nazi, fascist, homophobe, transphobe. Instead of actually saying, hey, is that a real problem? Maybe we can fix it before people's lives are lit up in flames. Here is Donald Trump a while ago on the Joe Rogan show before the election.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Saying, you know, California's got a real water problem. You know, fires, farms, all this stuff. Maybe we should look into that. The media was like, guy's definitely a Nazi.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Of course, Donald Trump came out yesterday again. He was up on Capitol Hill and brought up the fact that protecting the smelt, if you're asking, what the fuck is the smelt? It's this little fish he's talking about. And Justin just said it right. The media reports the following. Donald Trump hates fish. He really can't stand if he wants all the fish dead. grouper, trout, all of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Kill them damn fish. He's a Nazi homicidal fish holocaust guy. He wants fish dead. Instead of saying... You know what? That crazy guy is actually not so crazy because what he just said was going to happen with the barren land and the water problems resulted in a catastrophe where now five people are dead. And that's going to grow, by the way.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
And basically significant portions of Los Angeles were entirely wiped out. By the way, did you notice how the MAGA crowd, and I want to applaud you guys. I mean this. Again, a hefty dose of sarcasm as part of the show, but not this segment. I want to genuinely applaud you for not falling into the trap these lunatic evil liberals do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
That when there's some shooting in a red state, they're like, look, you deserve that, evil gun owners. Nobody deserves this. I don't care who the hell you voted for. I've been through a house fire. It is not about me. I'm not trying to do the Joe Biden on you. I'm just telling you it is one of the most awful things you will ever go through in your life. Nobody deserves that. We live in a republic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
Republicans are blaming Dem policies for the catastrophic wildfires tearing through Los Angeles. Republicans pounce, Republicans unleash, Republicans unload. Notice how whenever Democrats F something up, which is every single time because government sucks. It has no incentive to ever do anything right. It steals your money at the end of a barrel of a gun. There is nothing you can do about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
You're free to vote for who you want. Unfortunately, those votes have consequences. Bureaucratic mismanagement is not a Democrat problem. It is a Democrat and Republican problem. However, bureaucratic mismanagement is a bigger problem with Democrats for a very simple, easy to define, common sense, Occam's razor reason.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
If government bureaucracies can't work because there's no incentive for them to work because they steal your money and you can't fire them, you can't. The media protects them. Then Democrats, which prefer bigger bureaucracies and bigger government, are going to have bigger problems. When I was a young Secret Service agent, you know why boss told me about big criminal cases we used to work?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
He'd say, I'm going to warn you, big cases, big problems. Little cases, little problems. Big government, big problems. Little government, little problems. I'm not telling you Republicans are going to fix all your problems. We screw up a lot of crap ourselves.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
I'm simply telling you, you keep picking the Democrats that prefer bigger government, and your problems are going to continue to get bigger, and they don't get any bigger than your house burning down and your neighborhood. Look at this, by the way, this little compilation. Running out of water, fire hydrants in Los Angeles. These headlines. I saw this on Mike Cernovich's account.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PSY OP!!!
He's a California resident. He's been covering this. How the hell do you run out of water? Do you understand a fire hydrant exists for one reason? It has no other purpose than to distribute water for a fire. That's why it's called a fire hydrant, not a milk hydrant. It's there to stop fires. It only has one purpose.

Here's the problem with the people who reflexively jump down Trump's throat and have no consideration whatsoever for what he's saying. He really cares about this, by the way. I'm not name dropping. Who cares who people know and don't? It sounds stupid and you sound ridiculous.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
I'm just saying I have a different relationship with President Trump than a lot of people in the media who've never even met the guy and just automatically think he, you know, have all these nasty words to say about him. If you don't think this has deeply impacted him, the carnage over in Ukraine, he keeps mentioning this, how a generation of young Ukrainians are going to be wiped out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
And I'll tell you right now what's on his mind. I'll share something I know is one of these things, like a brain worm, when he can't get it out of his... is he understands fully that hundreds of thousands of young Ukrainians will be wiped out. And in the end, listen, please listen. This is really important. Wait, stop. Everybody pause. You ready? Listen to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
You want to get in Donald Trump's head and what's animating him. These young men and women will be killed. Dead. They will never take another breath of oxygen. They will never see their kids grow up. They will never invent the world's next supercomputer or cancer drug or anything. And you know what concerns Donald Trump even more than that? It'll all happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
And later on, after 10 years more of war, not a single thing will have changed from today. I want you to think about what I just told you. You think Donald Trump is a shallow guy. He hasn't thought this through. He's just some guy that magically won the presidency multiple times and transformed an entire political party. You think he's just crazy? I want you to listen to what I just told you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
You are obligated, if you say Trump's plan sucks, to present some of your own. Here's what he was talking about, by the way. AP, Ukraine, Zelensky says end of war with Russia is very, very far away. Okay. I mean, that's the best you have? Your economy's being hollowed out? You don't have anything else? Again, here's Donald Trump, President Trump again. He wants to see it end.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
And you ask him in the media. Write this down. I'm giving you a little hint. That is what motivates this man. He is deathly afraid that an entire generation of young, healthy fathers, sons, brothers, soccer coaches, police officers serving in their military are going to be dead, wiped out. And in 10 years, not a single damn thing will change.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
I'm just asking you if you hate this man, President Trump. I'm just asking you. You're allowed to hate him. It's a constitutional republic. And you're allowed to say what you want. His plan sucks. But out of a sense of morality and decency, I'm asking you as a human being, what the hell is your plan? a full-scale Ukrainian invasion into Russia?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
What if they're all wiped out and Ukraine loses its entire eastern territory? What was this for? Folks, the United States, the most powerful military on Earth, the most powerful military in the history of this rock we call Earth, there are times we have realized that sometimes the better part of valor is to say at this point, This thing may be winnable, but at what cost?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
Nobody wins every single baseball game, basketball game, debating match, and no country on earth is going to win every single skirmish they get involved in militarily. There are times both Democrat and Republican presidents have realized it is time to cut losses at this point because, yes, we can win it, but this is what it's going to take, and will it result in anything different than we are now?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
The examples, there are a lot of them. I wish there weren't, but they are. Stop pretending that it's somehow cowardice or anything else. That's not what this is. It is realpolitik and a realistic view of the world we live in, not the world you want to live in, because that's the utopia fallacy. That doesn't exist.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
I mean, you have to understand if you are a foreign negotiator, the EU, they love photo ops. They had the big class picture we put on the show yesterday. President Zelensky went right over to the EU. They all got together, took this great photo op. Fantastic. I get it, you have to message things. Public relations are a big deal. I fully understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
However, public relations, not backed up by action, are simply, there it is right there, thank you, are just public relations. They're not going to change a damn thing. Germany, UK, France, you want to continue this war with Zelensky, what is the APR, a very long time? Go right ahead. There we go. The end of the war is very, very far away. Go right ahead. Nobody's stopping you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
The EU is a very powerful collective economy. There's a lot of money there. President Trump has given you a realistic exit ramp. Here he is talking about how Zelensky needs to be more appreciative to resume negotiations. Notice. how he has not taken the minerals deal off the table despite Zelensky's catastrophic diplomatic miscalculation on Friday in the Oval Office.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
President Trump, who's supposed to be the crazy man, according to his opponents, still has not taken the deal off the table. So how crazy is he? Or is everyone else crazy? Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
Looking at the chat, Sneaky Gemini says, Trump's the only adult in the room. Sneaky, you are correct. It certainly appears to be the case. I'm going to take a quick break, but just remember what I told you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
He just doesn't want to see people dying anymore. I get it. Like, all right, this is... But he has a plan. He's presented a plan. No, he hasn't. Yes, he has. He has said we will develop economic rare earth mineral resources in areas of Ukraine. This will be likely an implied, if not direct, security guarantee because of our economic interests. And you came in Friday and blew it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
If 10 years from now, we're doing the Dan Bongino show, sitting here staring at a camera, and here in the new studio, wherever we're doing it, and we're having this exact conversation, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been wiped out, and Russia has more territory, I'm going to say, Justin, can you pull up that show from 10 years ago?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
I thought we were the bloodthirsty warmongers on the right, right? That's what you've talked about for years? No blood for oil and all that. I mean, I remember being a Secret Service agent, seeing all these code pinks on, no blood for oil. We're giving you an opportunity for no more blood. And you want more. I've never seen anything like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
And by the way, the public is just not on your side on this. I'm going to play another CNN poll. You mean the one from yesterday? No, I mean a different one. They're just not on your side on this. They want this thing to end. Quick break. We'll get back to the show. Hold on a sec. Hey, I'm just... Guys, I know I don't... I know I don't do a lot of foreign policy on the show. I understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
I speak up. I just... Haven't dealt with the horror my grandmother dealt with. God rest her soul. Eileen Sadler. She really, man, she got, she lived a tough life. She lost two husbands early. She lost her, my uncle, her son in Vietnam when he was supposed to come home. Folks, when that changed her, man, forever. I told you my uncle's name many times, Greg Ambrose.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
And when he was killed in Vietnam and shot in the back, my grandmother was never, ever, ever the same. Ever. This is real. People are dying. These Ukrainian men are children of God like anyone else. They may swear allegiance to a different country, but they are human beings. What is your plan, man? You owe it to these people. This isn't a game of Stratego, whatever that game is. This is real.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief: Dan Speaks From The Heart On The Ukraine War
There are going to be hundreds of thousands of Eileen Sadlers out there who are never going to be the same because their kids and grandkids are going to have died. You better give us a damn plan because Trump has one. You do not. So that was a clip from the Dan Bongino Show. You can watch the full show on Rumble.

We always drop Ws because we don't overreact and we know Donald Trump's debating and negotiating strategy. What is it? He does this all the time, folks. He drops a bomb maximalist position. In other words, 1 to 100, he drops 99.6.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
He's actually thinking 55.7, but he understands that even though he's thinking 55.7, that if he drops freaking 99.6 and he gets 75.2, he's about 20 points ahead of where he was at 55.6. About. You get it? He does this all the time. 25% tariffs on Canada. Okay, we're going to shut the Fendel off. Okay, we'll delay them. He does it all the time. How many times are you guys going to get played?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Holy shit, watching the media overreact is freaking hilarious. Every time. What do you think he's doing? You think he's going to drop the 101st Airborne into Gaza tomorrow? I'm sorry, man. It's just comical watching these people after now four years and two weeks of Trump, the 2016 term, and two weeks so far. He does this over and over, and he always drops W's to Abraham Accords.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
And people, they just keep falling for it. I'm sorry, I didn't finish my thought before. I've been so excited about today's show because I just, I feel like if people would just watch this show, they would stop overreacting and have a better lick their finger feel for politics where the wind is blowing. My gosh. Did you guys respond like I did last night?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. So, last night, like many of you, I'm sitting at my office. I'm watching Fox News. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, of course, is giving a press conference with Donald Trump in the White House. And Donald Trump, rather matter-of-factly, drops the biggest public policy, foreign policy announcement in modern U.S. history about Israel.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
I was telling the boys this morning when I came in. I hear this thing, and it was like he said it so matter-of-factly, I had to rewind the thing. And I'm like, did he just say what I think he said, that the U.S. is going to take over Gaza? And I think the media was so surprised. If you guys missed it, the first question wasn't even about...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
this major foreign policy statement prescription he put out, the first question was totally unrelated. And then Kelly O'Donnell from NBC, who's no friend of ours, by the way, but I think was the first one who got it, basically grabs the mic and is like, did you just say we're going to take over Gaza? Like she was the first one I think who caught it. More in a minute, but first.

Have you seen the news from some economists forecasting a depression, not a recession, depression by the year 2030? We could be in a perfect storm if Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. Smaller workforce usually means a smaller tax base.

The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy

And I want you to think about this in context of the Abraham Accords. We don't cover a ton of foreign policy on this show. This is important because it's not just about... foreign policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
It's about you are, this is going to happen for four years. The Trump people I know have assured me and other people that the pace of change is not slowing down. This isn't a two week thing. This is a four year thing. So you better get used to it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
And if you're not watching this show and you're going to overreact to every single thing, your freaking blood pressure is going to be through the roof and your pulse rate is going to be 122 at rest. Everybody chill. Not you out there. You guys are awesome. You get it. To the crazies. I saw Jonah Goldberg on Twitter. Things are getting dumber.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
No, you're getting dumber because you keep getting played. Here's what's going on. Think about it in context to the Abraham Accords. You know what? Can you guys pull this? I'm sorry. I don't know. Michael, look this up. John Kerry. There's a clip of him saying that there will be no solution to the peace in the Arab world without fixing the Palestinian problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
You have to understand with the Abraham Accords, Donald Trump, who does listen to me, everyone clearly, everyone put the horse blinkers on right now. Donald Trump does not give a shit about how you did things in the past. Let me say that again. He doesn't give a shit. All he cares about is fixing problems.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
When the Abraham Accords came around, where we had the Bahrain deal and the other deals over there, You know, fly with the air traffic and everything. They were great deals. Everyone told him, do not bother. You will never get any kind of a peace or cooperation deal, however you want to frame it, with Middle Eastern countries until you solve the Palestinian problem. Everybody said that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
if we can find the john kerry thing i'll play but folks it wasn't just lurch john kerry everybody said that gee did everybody not say that you don't fix the palestinian problem don't bother donald trump's like why i'm just gonna cut a deal and i'm not i don't buy any of that shit and you know what he did and everybody thought he was crazy hold so keep hold that hold that thought
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
You can't do that. You're never going to cut a deal. Abraham Accords ain't going to happen. Fix the Palestinian problem. No. We'll fix that later. I'm doing this first. What else did they tell him? Remember when he moved the embassy to Jerusalem? What did they say? World War III. It's going to be over. The Arab world will never accept it. The whole place will get nuked. Did that happen? No.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
He says, you know, let me just listen to what he said. I mean, this happened. Play the cut if you would.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
It didn't? Did it? Send me the World War III articles you have that happened in the media. Oh, they didn't happen. It didn't happen. World War III didn't break out until Trump left office and October 7th happened when he wasn't in office. Everything these foreign policy experts, this is important, man. Listen to this, you dumbass media morons.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Chill. Donald Trump is looking at Gaza, this little strip of land, tiny little strip of land. And Donald Trump, this waterfront, beautiful property that was, by the way, only handed over not that long ago to the Palestinians. So anyone telling you, oh, my gosh, the Palestinians have been there forever is full of shit. What was it, 2005 they handed it over? 2005, not 1905.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
So let's not pretend this is some generational thing. OK, that's just the hard facts. You don't have to believe it. I don't care. It's reality. Donald Trump's been told, hey, man, the foreign policy intelligentsia said, you got to let the Palestinians and the Israelis work this thing out. Eventually, they'll figure it out. And Donald Trump's like, but they haven't. but they haven't.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
The Israelis gave the land back to the Palestinians who then used the land to bomb Israel. Whatever side you're on, you know where I stand on this. I've been very clear about my position, about who the good guy and bad guy is in this fight. Wherever you stand, can we both agree that's true? Did it happen or did it not? End the story in the chat. I don't care how you feel.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Just can we agree on the facts? Israel, whatever, they gave them back the land. Did it happen? Okay, yes, thank you. What happened? Attacks were then launched into Israel. Whatever position you have, that happened. Trump's like, clearly no one's fixing it. So here's what he said. He probably walked into Netanyahu, probably totally blindsided him and said, hey- Language alert. I'm sorry.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
But it's important here. Because this is probably the language used. So I don't mean this for effect. I can almost guarantee you he walked in there and said something to this effect and probably used the language here. He said, guys, you guys fuck this place up. I'm going to unfuck this right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
I'm coming in there with the big stick, and I'm going to fix this place if I got to develop the damn thing myself, if you guys don't unscrew it. I'm telling you that's what happened. You can believe it or you can laugh. I've been right about everything. You media people are always wrong. Here, you doubt me? Here's Politico playbook.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
I mean, these are like outright communists over at Politico this morning. They talked to some off-the-record guy. The official argued it's in the interest of other Arab powers, like Saudi Arabia, to find a solution to the conflict. Bongino's right again. Thank you. And that Trump throwing his ideas out there might inspire others to counter. As the source said himself, we'll see. Somebody gets it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Whoever Politico spoke to, shockingly, even a blind squirrel gets a nut, is 100% correct. He's telling the Saudis. He's telling UAE. He's telling the Kuwaitis, the Jordanians. He's telling everyone in the region. You guys have not on this problem in a hundred years. Fix it. Or I'm coming in there to do it. A couple other thoughts here. Trump is tired of the perma-war, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
The permanent war status of the Middle East. Israel, Palestinians, Israel, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Israel, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Israel, the Golan. He's tired of it. He is the commander-in-chief of the most powerful military force in the cosmos. He's tired of it. He's telling them, un-F this situation, or I'm telling you, we're going to go and take it. He doesn't want the perma-war anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
So for those of you out there saying, and by the way, I don't blindly defend anyone. And I hope you understand that. President Trump and I have a lot of agreements on a lot of issues. That's why I support him. We don't agree on everything. But don't tell me this guy's a warmonger. He's doing the exact opposite. He's tired of this situation. Perma war's over.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
He's saying, number two, fix it or I will. Third, he is trying to refocus the Hamas demon savages. who just continuously go to the table and renegotiate on terror. We'll release a hostage. We change our mind, it'll be tomorrow. It'll be the next day. We're gonna hold a few more.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Now he's like, okay, I'll tell you what, you guys attacked on October 7th and you thought you were gonna establish like some new Hamas level caliphate in the area and Israel was gonna be wiped out and abandoned. Trump's like, he's telling both sides, you guys better work this out because Hamas, now you will have nothing. You will have absolutely nothing. I will take everything from you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
He is telling these Hamas clowns, you better get out. We gave you a shot. You effed it up. It's time to go or you will have nothing. We will take everything from you. He is also trying to refocus the Arab world. He has repeatedly asked the Arab world, who claim to be for the Palestinians, why won't you take the Palestinians in?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Remember from, what is it, 48 to 67, who controlled the West Bank, that area, Judea and Samaria? The Jordanians. Why didn't they create a Palestinian state? Has anybody asked that question? Anyone? Jordan, no, we don't want to take in Palestinians. You're the ones advocating for them. Go take them in. Egypt's the same way. Egypt closing Philadelphia. No, no, no. Don't come here.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - Trump Shocks The Left With This New Strategy
Ladies and gentlemen, cue automatic media liberal progressive meltdown. People were losing their minds. Nobody knew what to do. Folks in the chat, how many of you were watching it live and responded how I did? He said that so matter-of-factly, and if you're going to make a major foreign policy announcement, typically what they do in the past is they tee it up.

I know, you know, New York Times and others, of course, all of the attack pieces start already, which is fascinating from these two who were on the wrong side of the truth when it came to the collusion hoax and others. I don't think they understand what it's like to commit to service, not partisan service, but service.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
I get it if you are a political opponent of mine that has been involved with proudly celebrating a weaponized justice system, how you don't understand how a guy like me who discusses partisan content in an opinion show can go and do a unquestionably nonpartisan job. I'm going to ask you a simple question. Have you seen what I did before I came here? I'm committed to service.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
People play different roles in their lives. People are dads. People are soccer coaches. People are cops and military officers and military enlisted people. People are carpenters. People are plumbers. We play different roles in our life. And each one requires a different skill set. I've been there. I know what this is like. And it's time for me to step up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
Folks, I have to thank my family first, though. You know, most of you know Paula. Paula's been with me a long time. Folks, we met. I don't know if you know the story. It's certainly not my autobiography today, but... We met just a couple of weeks before 9-11. I mean an actual couple of weeks, like two weeks before 9-11.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
And someone, one of you sent this to me and a friend of mine sent it to me as well. And I gave this speech at the Heritage Foundation 11 years ago. And it was about good people stepping up Not just me. It's not about me. It's about a bigger vision. I want you to listen. It's about a minute and a half of it. But it's worth your time. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
My second date hadn't even happened with Paula and she worked at 120 Broadway, which is the building that looks right into the World Trade Center right there. She worked for a company at the time called SIA. The 9-11 attacks happened. I had only been on one date with her. We barely knew each other, but I knew I was in love. So I called her and she didn't answer the phone. I thought she was dead.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
I did. I panicked. I thought she was dead. I couldn't believe it. I said, I just met this woman. Well, it turned out we'd just been on one date and she was actually in Nevada. Her mom lived in Centennial Hills in Nevada, actually Summerlin, I think back then. And she was out in Nevada. I couldn't believe she was alive.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
But we met two weeks before the most devastating terror attack, one of them in American history. That was an event we all, scarred us forever. I was an agent watching that. We've been through a lot together. We've been through the secret service. We've been through the president's detail. We've been through cancer. We've been through some health crises with her.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
We have two beautiful daughters, one in college and one younger one still in grammar school. We've been through three runs for political office. We've been through the launch of a podcast 11 years ago and everybody laughed at us. They're not laughing now. They did. They actually laughed at us. Oh, podcast? That's cute. What happened? Can't get a real show? We lived through all of that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
We spent our last $10,000 on a microphone and some mixers in the basement of our house in Maryland. Paul has always been willing to take a chance on me. Always. She said on her first date that she knew I was something special, which I didn't think I was anything special back then, but I guess she did. She's been busting her ass all weekend. Why? Because there's going to be a major transition.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
It's not going to be the last show, but we've only got a few more left with you, so. Obviously, we're going to be working with a team of people to make this transition from me, political commentator Dan, to deputy director of the FBI Dan. Those are different roles, require different skills. Skills I haven't have used before and I plan to use again. It's going to hurt to leave you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
I'll discuss over the course of the coming days. I'll be with you for a little bit longer on radio and on my show. I will discuss exactly what's going to happen. It's not going to impact Evita or Haley's content at all. My wife has been running the business for a long time. I don't get involved with the business at all. I do the talking. But I want to ask you, who's next? Who's next?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
This isn't just about me, folks. The do matters. Who's next? You know, I said last week and a couple of media critics commented, I said, we're all going to have to take it on the chin a little bit. Now, do you see what I meant? I never got in this for the money or notoriety.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
Listen, I enjoy making money and that I can impact people's lives and that people come out and say nice things to me as much as the next guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
But if you think that's why I got involved in this running as a Republican in deep blue Maryland, my life of activism and my time in the secret service, if you think I got into secret service to get rich and you don't know me and you haven't seen the government salary scale, but I am going in this clear eyed. Vision of president Trump attorney general Bondi and director Patel.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
I am going to do my job to implement that vision. And I can tell you right now, we are going to try our best. Every single thing I have in me, every single strand of DNA cell in my body is going to be dedicated towards keeping this Homeland safe. No matter what, no matter what, that's my job. We're going to reestablish faith in this institution.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
the good people there doing their job, hitting the streets, developing sources. We'll have your back. We are going to reestablish faith in this institution. The FBI belongs to the American people. It doesn't belong to me. It doesn't belong to anyone else but the American people. But this is the honor of a lifetime, and it's a serious mission. And I plan on implementing that vision.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
Folks, there are a small number of people out there in the country right now dedicated to doing really bad things. It's not the overwhelming majority of Americans are patriots that love this country and love their family. They love their jobs.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
They go to work every day, but there are a small number of really bad people out there who are planning on really bad things from terrorists to narco traffickers, child sex rings, gang members, I'm going to tell you right now, I'm not going to rest easy until we find as many of you as we can. Don't sleep after today. That's my mission. Folks, of course, the Constitution matters.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
We're going to get back to the four corners of that document that guide us all as well. And I think you know from my history of covering content here that the primacy of that is really important. You understand that. It is the one thing that dictates all the rest of your actions, and that's the Constitution.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
Again, regarding the show, folks, going forward, I will tell you how we're going to wind my portion of the show down. And I'm just going to leave you with this before I get to some other content. And we've got a couple more. We've got some shows for you lined up. So I actually put a show together even though it's been harder than I thought. I didn't plan on this. I didn't plan on a lot of things.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
But I want you to know it is the honor of my lifetime. And I hope I'm making a plea to you all personally. I hope you're not angry or upset at me for making this decision. I knew it was the right thing to do, but there is a big cost, and I understand that. There's a chance when the mission's over that you guys all disappear and go somewhere else.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief : Help Is On The Way!
Not going to lie to you, it's been on my mind for a long time. I hope not. I love you guys, but this is a mission I can't say no to. Sorry, guys. J.L. Soobs. Holy moly, Batman. We're so proud of you, Dan. We love you, Dan. I love you guys, too. I woke up this morning. I jumped in that cold plunge to kind of clear my head a little bit. And I get out of it.

The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Dan Bongino. Welcome to the Bongino Brief. I'm Dan Bongino. You know what, guys? I'm going to skip the bell today. I don't usually do that, but given the tragic circumstances, that's usually more of a celebratory event for me starting the show, but I'm not. This is going to be deadly serious stuff today. So let me ask some open questions first.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
not so much the helicopter, but the airplane involved, they have this crash avoidance system built in that if you've done anything with FAA, TRACON, TFRs, ADASs, FRIZs, air security picture stuff, which we do, you're pretty familiar with how this works. I'm not a pilot. I'm not the Wikipedia pilot. I don't pretend to be a pilot.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
I'm just telling you things we've dealt with, having dealt with the air security picture often. Was that off when you get within a certain landing distance and a certain altitude? Was it working? Was it is it off? Is it off automatically? Why didn't it go off? Was it, you know, when they get below a thousand feet?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
As I saw a couple of people commenting this morning, was that crash avoidance system not working or does it just go off with a below that certain altitude? So that'll be an open question, because obviously that's what this system is designed to avoid a crash like what happened. Second, was it a case of target fixation where sometimes you'll talk to these?

The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
I will never forget one of the White House military aides was a helicopter pilot, talked to me often about flying at night, how it was difficult for him to operate at night without night vision. Also talked about things like target fixation and things like that, crowded battlefields. Did they... the helicopter pilots, were they fixated on an aircraft taking off and did they miss the one landing?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
That's a big miss. Obviously a tragic one. Were they fixated on the wrong target? Open question. Third question, was there night vision involved? Did it have anything to do with the closing of the visual field? I believe the night vision was available from what I'm hearing from early reports, but it's an open question because until I get a conclusive answer, I'm applying the Bongino rule here.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Fourth is the obvious one. Just how did this happen flight path-wise? This is a known flight corridor that's very busy. How did this happen? Is it an altitude issue? Obviously, we're going to wait for some reporting on that. And then fifth, the uncomfortable question people have to ask. I see it as highly unlikely. I want to say that in advance, but it'd be irresponsible not to at least consider
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Was there a possibility that some of this was maybe not accidental? I just want to say in advance, given from what I've heard from a number of pretty good sources and some media homework I've been doing, that seems highly unlikely. However, applying the Bongino rule works both ways. Don't draw conclusions means don't draw conclusions.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
It doesn't mean don't ever ask a question ever for the rest of your life. Then what's the purpose of this show? So those are five open questions I have right now. Let's check out the VO, the voiceover. Sorry for using lingo. We'll talk over. You can see the video here on the screen right now. You see it right there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Obviously, it's not the greatest video, but you can see the aircraft on descent into the runway. And then you'll see at the end, obviously, a flashing light. That's the crash between right there, between the helicopter aircraft. And the plane lands in the Potomac. It apparently inverted at some point. It's in three pieces. Again, an unimaginable tragedy. And I use my words carefully.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
I have flown in and out of that airport so many times. As have many of you. It's nothing specific to me. I actually enjoy flying out of Reagan. It's very convenient. It's one of the reasons that D.C. lawmakers will do almost anything to keep that airport open and running. I don't know if you know this, but there was some significant talk after 9-11.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
about closing that airport because of its proximity. Now, it would be inappropriate completely for me to comment on these matters, but I think it's a matter of public information out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
There are obviously programs to control and monitor the air traffic there because, ladies and gentlemen, you make one wrong turn, you're on top of the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol like that. There is really very little time for contingency operations to take place. After 9-11, there was some talk about closing Reagan. However, the convenience of it, lawmakers use it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
The talk about closing, it has now pretty much disappeared. The only talk now is how to expand it. So there is significant traffic that comes in and out of there. More in a minute, but first. Have you seen the news from some economists forecasting a depression? Not a recession. Depression. by the year 2030.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
We could be in a perfect storm if Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. Smaller workforce usually means a smaller tax base. Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, we could have a really, really big problem. So what are you doing now to protect your family for the future?

The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Secretary Pete Hegseth, of course, Secretary of Defense. Aisha Hosni reported on the statement on her Twitter feed. She's a reporter from Fox. Quote, this was an annual proficiency training flight. It was a fairly experienced crew that was doing a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles. We'll see if they were using them or not.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
That's why I'm going to leave that an open question. The 12th Aviation Battalion, as of now, was granted a 48-hour operational pause on contingency missions as what happened is reviewed. Obviously, Secretary Hegseth's a guy I trust. He's not going to lie to us. When we get some conclusions on what happens, I'm sure he'll be the one to tell us. Let me say as well,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
I have a lot of personal connections to the cabinet secretaries involved. They have been in office for less than a few days, including Secretary Hegseth, who just swore in. Secretary Duffy, Sean Duffy, former congressman, another close personal friend. I mean, obviously the father of Evita, who's, I mean, it's just obvious, one of the hosts of our show here.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
If you're just waking up, getting the news, maybe you're out in the West Coast, Reagan Airport, There was a flight. It was descending, getting ready to land in what is unquestionably very congested airspace. There are a lot of programs, some I'm familiar with, we're obviously not going to be talking about, that involve tracking a lot of these incoming and outgoing aircraft.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
So we have a lot of close personal ties. Secretary Duffy just swore in yesterday. yesterday so talk about i mean they won on a job so his briefings have been as good as you can expect at this point but he just got there he just got there dealing with this unimaginable tragedy um I want to play this. It's a clip from CNN. Disregard that it's CNN for a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Sometimes on these matters, I just go to the commentators. This guy is a subject matter expert, a guy by the name of Pete Muntean. But this is a really, really informative clip where he's talking about Again, I'm trying not to talk about this like I'm some kind of like new Wikipedia pilot. I am not an expert on this. Let me say this in advance. I am not a pilot.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
But I have been on both of these aircraft, Blackhawks, and obviously just flying at the Reagan many times. If you've ever been on a Blackhawk, you'll notice right away that these helicopters are typically designed for air-to-ground missions. You know, they're not typically air-to-air missions. They're designed for air to ground missions, especially these.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
So when you look at the visual field of the helicopter, it's hard to see up, but relatively easy to see down.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
I want you to listen to this guy, Pete Muntean on CNN, who explains pretty well, this clip's about a minute 30, but it's worth your time, about if there was a visual obstruction and this is just a catastrophic, we didn't see him and we crashed into each other, which we'll never know because it appears everybody's dead at this point. And the Blackhawk, from what I know, does not have a black box.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Obviously the aircraft does, the airplane. I want you to listen to how the visual obstruction may have played into this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
It's a very congested area. It is not a huge airport. It is a very tough place to land due to the congested space. Aircraft is landing. It is a flight from Wichita, Kansas. Gets into a collision with a Black Hawk helicopter on an Army training mission, according to what Secretary Hegseth said. It doesn't appear at this point that there are any survivors.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
So there's a lot in that clip. Obviously, I would prefer you listening to experts who are actual transportation, aerial transportation experts, aviation experts on visuals and how it works, because it's not my specific area of expertise. But what he's saying there is accurate from someone who's flown on these many times. And in why I was in that area, I'll have to leave for another day.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
But I've flown up and down the Potomac many, many times on Blackhawks, many times. the visuals are not great, especially what he just described. Pilots looking at the ground, very difficult in the helicopter to see up. I'm not telling you that's what the reason is or the only reason. I'm just telling you you should consider it. What he's saying there is not inaccurate.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
Also, at the end, there have been consistent problems with the FAA for a long time. The left's first impulse here disgustingly has been to politicize this. Let me just tell you in advance, it's a shame I have to cover this the way I will. We'll take President Trump when he's live in a few minutes. However, the media are disgusting.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Bongino Brief - What Happened At Reagan Airport???
They're going to make cheap politics out of a situation that has been ongoing for a long time. I have to fight back. That is my job, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not going to let you be misled by communist media propaganda. So that was a clip from the Dan Bongino Show. You can watch the full show on Rumble.

Appears going to be close to 60 plus souls lost, which is horrific, obviously. So some open questions first, which we'll address. And we have some footage going on here, too, that we're going to get to. and footage of the crash, which I'll warn you, you may not wanna see it, but it's important that we cover it accurately. Number one is these aircraft,
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
We're going to get back to the four corners of that document that guide us all as well. And I think you know from my history of covering content here that the primacy of that is really important. You understand that. It is the one thing that dictates all the rest of your actions, and that's the Constitution.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
And I obviously keep the contents of it between us, but I think you get the gist about what it was about. And it kind of broke down a bit because it was, this is now real. So President Attorney General Bondi and now director, gosh, that sounds good to say, FBI Director Akash Patel offered this role, a role I expressed an interest in. And ladies and gentlemen,
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Again, regarding the show, folks, going forward, I will tell you how we're going to wind my portion of the show down. And I'm just going to leave you with this before I get to some other content. And we've got a couple more. We've got some shows for you lined up. So I actually put a show together, even though this has been harder than I thought. I didn't plan on this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I didn't plan on a lot of things. But I want you to know it is the honor of my lifetime. And I hope. I'm making a plea to you all personally. I hope you're not angry or upset at me for making this decision. I knew it was the right thing to do, but there is a big cost, and I understand that. There's a chance when the mission's over that you guys all disappear and go somewhere else.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I'm not going to lie to you. It's been on my mind for a long time. I hope not. I love you guys, but this is a mission I can't say no to. Sorry, guys. JL Subes. Holy moly, Batman. We're so proud of you, Dan. We love you, Dan. I love you guys too. I woke up this morning. I was just, I jumped in that cold plunge to kind of clear my head a little bit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I get out of it and I have to tell you folks, this is very surreal. What an honor. What an honor. All right. Let me take a quick break. Did I? Did I melt down the Rumble chat? Thank you, guys. Michael senses I need a little emotional kind of. Hold on. Let me take a sip of water here. You know, it's funny. Guy's been here the longest, and Guy will typically say,
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
All right, you're like droning on too long. He didn't say that. That's interesting. Guy actually gave me a little leeway on that one. I appreciate that, Guy. You know how Guy is. Guy's the most cut-and-dried guy you've ever seen. All right, move on. No, no, no. Have you taken field degrees yet? They'll promote me and push me right into a reading. Get to the spots. We got a show to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
So I appreciate that, Guy. Thank you. By the way, my team, so you know, because I know a lot of you have developed relationships with my crew through the chat and events and elsewhere. We love all you guys. My crew's not going anywhere. I'll explain more as the week goes on today. I just want to focus on this, some news, and just I want to do a show for you because I don't have a lot left.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
The transition's going to be tough, but my crew's not going anywhere. I gave them the opportunity. I hope I'm not sharing inside information, guys. But I gave them the opportunity, and none of them took it. Justin was like a little, I don't know about him. I'm kidding. Justin was like, I don't know. I'm not so sure. No, he was all in. Justin was actually the first one. He's like, you kidding, bro?

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
We're going to make this, you know, we're going to work with Paula from now on. And it's probably a pretty easy transition because there isn't a transition. Paula's always run the place anyway. She has been the mastermind. I'm just the content guy. Thank you, guys. All right, let me take a quick break, and then we'll get to the show. So I told you I'd be there.

So, folks, the Monday winning coverage of the administration and their endless litany and cornucopia of W's and wins is just not stopping to the point where I did not. I did not know. I'm obviously waiting on I was waiting on the president, the attorney general, the FBI director, their call to make the decision. So, you know, the specific timeline, you have an idea, but I did not know.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
So I'm still putting together a show this weekend and the winning. I hope, you know, most of you out there, I would guess if you're listening to the show, you probably think this is a win. I appreciate it. Certainly was a win for me. And the fact that this is something I'm really looking forward to. But we're not the only ones, folks. Mark Penn, who's a Democrat pollster.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I don't care what you're hearing about the public polling, the public polling. People can cherry pick polls all they want for every poll. You tell me, well, voters are dissatisfied with this. And I've seen this all the time. You can pick another poll that voters are mostly liking what they're seeing. How do we know that? Because Mark Penn in a tweet put out those literal words.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Voters are mostly, this is a Democrat pollster, are liking what they see in the first month of the new presidency. 57-43, voters say Trump's doing a better job than Biden in an advanced look at a poll coming out on Monday. Job approval's at 52, but closing the border, cutting waste are hugely popular. So is resetting merit as the prime hiring and contracting principle.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
They don't agree with everything being done. He cites the Gulf of America, which I haven't heard anybody really complaining about. But, you know, people feel much better about the direction of the country and the economy. You know, it's Democrats are cratering down to 36% approval. It's going to be a big problem for them, obviously, moving forward. I want to address this, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I told you, you see, it's hard for me. I'm going to accept the role proudly as the deputy director of the number two spot at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Folks, it's a lot to walk away from. I will tell you everything what happened. And then I got a show to do, and I'm going to tell you what's going to happen with the show. So it's going to be a pretty wild ride today.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
This is one of the reasons you have public frustration with taxpayer dollars being allocated to outfits with very little accountability.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
When people are working in jobs and have been working in jobs where the bookkeeper, the accountant or whoever it is, if you spend a dollar at a gas station on a company card and you can't explain what it's for, they've had to account for every single dollar the entire time. Here, folks, look at this USAID article. USAID squandered. Think about this. Think about the loss factor in this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
New York Times, how USAID squandered billions in Haiti and around the globe. There were $2 billion in contracts and grants for Haiti-related work. Less than $50 million. That's 2%. Let me say that again. 2% of the $2 billion that was supposed to go to Haiti went to Haitian organizations or firms. Even went to the firms. By comparison, 1.3 billion, 56%, has gone to firms located in or near the U.S.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Capitol. Little wonder USAID is so threatened by the sudden scrutiny. Folks, there is a problem with third-party spending. If I've highlighted it once, I've highlighted it a thousand times on this show. Milton Friedman has discussed this often.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
When the government takes taxpayer dollars from its citizens and spends money not even on itself, but on other people most of the time, on programs and giveaways and USAID, the cost or the quality don't matter. The cost doesn't matter because you're not buying anything with your money. So why would you care about the cost? But here's the kicker.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
The quality doesn't matter either because a large portion of time you're not even buying anything for yourself. And when I say yourself, I mean, say waste in the Pentagon. No, they're buying things for themselves. No, they're not there. It's not for them. It's for a military unit or something. It's not even for them. So not only do you have a cost problem, but you have a quality problem as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
If you've not seen this Milton Friedman clip, we've been doing this show 11 years. I can't even mention that. I'm going to melt every time I say it. I cannot believe we've been doing this 11 years. I can't. I cannot believe I've been doing this 11 years. If you've been watching all 11 years, you've seen this clip before by Friedman. It's worth your time. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Folks, that's one of the most important clips you will ever see about why there is a specific level of unaccountability that exists not solely in government, but you have a persistent problem in government because it's other people's money spent on other people. That's a hard thing to get over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
You have to, that's why when you're in government, you have to hire the best of the best of the best of the best because you have to get over that natural impulse because it's not your money and you're not even spending it on anyone else. That's where you get clips like this. I was watching this clip this week and going through some show preparation material. And I saw the CNN clip pop up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
And they're talking about spending as if it's their money. Like, hey, listen, there's a Sesame Street program in Iraq. And don't laugh, by the way. That's actually what this video is about. But there's this really valuable Sesame Street program in Iraq that, you know, terrorists may watch instead of terrorist material. So, okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Well, what about that money back in the United States that had to come from people who had to pay it, who could have kept that in their business? Watch this clip from CNN. You'll see what I mean. And I don't want to I'm going to play for you. I'm going to show you a clip from The Wall Street Journal about this just amazing first month of Donald Trump and how this has hit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
The winning has just caught everybody by surprise. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Do you have any comprehension of how big of a number that is in comparison to what... We're talking about the value grossly of every single thing we produce and then some. And we're discussing Sesame Street programs in Iraq? Folks, there's an opportunity cost to every dollar spent on things that don't focus on specific core functions of the United States government.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Man, do we have a lot to talk about. I'm going to play for you in the beginning, too, a speech I gave that someone sent to me from 11 years ago. And you'll see why I decided to make this decision. So a lot to do today. Thank you so much for kind of a big audience here right away out of the shoot. So thank you very much. I love you guys. And Bongino Army out there, I hope you understand
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
That this is a serious argument on cable television is tough to take. I've got a piece coming up for you next where it's starting to hit, even with some people who are not big fans of the Trump agenda on the political front early, who are starting to realize that there's a couple key components from this, what's happening right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
The first month, it hasn't even been, you know, excuse me, first hundred days, but it's a month of the first hundred days. that number one, the gold standard for action has now been set by President Trump. Folks, any other president, Republican or candidly Democrat too, is going to be expected to make big, bold change. Republicans in the past have kind of eased into it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
You get the first hundred days, you get a couple EOs here and there, but there's been nothing like this. And second, the do matters. I'd say, second, the do matters because President Trump has done it, and he's even invited some court challenges that could, I don't want to say redefine the presidency, because the courts and others have redefined the presidency.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
The presidency was laid out in Article II of the Constitution, and we've gotten away from that. If the president can't fire people, then who can? Quick break, and I'll show you what I mean. Interesting piece by Kim Strassel. I've enjoyed her commentary. But let's be honest, a lot of these people aren't huge MAGA people, which is fine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Like I said, I read their content and I like to see what everybody's thinking. Folks, they want you to believe inflation is just an accident, but is it every time inflation spikes, your savings could shrink, your paycheck buys less, and just about everything from groceries to gas gets more expensive. But is this just a coincidence or is it the Federal Reserve policy at work?
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
You need to check out Playing With Fire, Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve, a powerful new documentary from the Mises Institute. It examines how the Fed can manipulate money, fuel economic crashes, and enrich the elites at the expense of everyday Americans.

For decades, the Mises Institute's been calling out the dangers of reckless government spending and the Fed's destructive policies, warning about the 2008 crash and skyrocketing inflation long before the mainstream media admitted there was a problem.

And it's a series of comments from their opinion staff on this. And again, these aren't big MAGA people at all over there. They've actually been very critical a lot of the Trump agenda. And, you know, that's fine. Do your thing. You're certainly in a constitutional republic where you have freedom of the press and freedom of speech. You can have whatever opinion you want.

I bring this up because for them to acknowledge the success of this first month This is a bold new world of Republican presidencies where a standard's been set. Kim Strassel notes the president's public events tend towards the rambling. He's discursive, but that's how he is. But the press is mistaken to present his team as simply unruly. She says, consider this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I got a couple of negative comments. You know, Dan, you should have let us know. I hope you understand about this. This is not my... You do not ever get ahead of the President of the United States, the Attorney General, and the Director of the FBI. You don't do that. Not when you take positions like that. It's not the right thing to do. So now you understand. Today's show sponsored by Beam.

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
A month in, the administration has a nearly full complement of confirmed cabinet heads. The border's under control. Criminals are being deported. The White House has issued nearly 80 executive orders targeting energy restrictions and bureaucracy, DEI, transgenderism, and censorship. It's dismantling Biden-era regulations and shutting down entire programs.

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
The president's met with many foreign leaders and withdrawn from global entities. Congress is progressing on the president's tax reform. As I said before, there are two takeaways from this. You need to tattoo on your brain that are going to set the standard for Republican presidents going forward.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Democrats may expect the same from a future Democratic president, but now I'm talking about the Republican side. The Republican side, they've generally kind of eased into the presidency a bit. There's always the 100-day agenda, but let's be candid. Even Kim Strassel's noting, there's never been anything like that. So it now sets a standard in the future that if you campaign on something,
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Which, come on, most people don't take a lot of campaign promises from politicians seriously. It's sad, but it's true. You are now going to be expected in the first few months and first two years of your presidency until the midterms to get this stuff done and get it done quickly because Donald Trump has set a different standard for action.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
But second, which I brought up before the break, another important point. They're inviting a lot of court challenges, which is important, because the presidency has been redefined away from the Article II role of the founders. They laid it out in the four corners of the document. It's not hard. We have an executive.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
We have an executive whose role is laid out by the Constitution, who's had pounds of flesh taken away from them. Their power has been neutered. independent agencies, bureaucrats acting as if they're the executive. I ask you this very simple question, and I ask the courts too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
If the chief executive of the United States and our commander-in-chief of the military cannot remove personnel under him for reasons he lays out and we've done now, you've seen with the Doge, then who can? Are you telling me that the government bureaucracy is immune from accountability elsewhere? Let me ask you this. You know, I get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Congress, you have Article I, obviously Article II, Article III, you have the courts. Congressional staffers, for those who dispute this on the Democrat side, and you disputed from the legislative branch, and you're saying as a congressman, the president can't do this. Can you fire staffers in your office? Well, of course I can.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Well, if you can fire staffers in your office, then how is it that the Article II presidency, where everyone is a subordinate to the one nationally elected figure, the president of the United States, if he can't fire them, then who can? You, you're a separate branch of government. You don't work in the executive branch. None of it was meant to work this way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
And, you know, I had Ned Ryan on last week on my radio show. And Ned brought up an interesting point regarding TROs, temporary restraining orders that are, you know, national injunctions. Are you telling me that one judge on the Supreme Court the most powerful judges in the country, can't do what a local district court can and by himself stopping legal action.

Folks, the government was never meant to work this way. There has to be accountability. Working American people live with this kind of accountability every day. It's a gold standard for action, folks. It's been absolutely set. Let me get back to the beginning of the show. Thank you all in the chat. I'm sorry, I'm just reading through. I know Rumble, we kind of melted it a little bit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Thank you for everything. I want you to know I'm reading it. It was glory bound. We're so proud and excited for you, Dan. Jerseygirl51, we'll miss you, but feel safer with you in the FBI. Lazarus, I'm proud of you, man. You're going to Helen. You're going to exactly where you need it to be. Folks, we got to step up, man. We all have to step up. You know, I had a good friend when I was an agent.

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
When I left and walked away from the Secret Service, it was, at that point, professionally speaking, it was the hardest decision of my life. I did not retire from the Secret Service. I resigned. There's a difference. There's a difference because you don't get your health care. You don't get anything. Some of you heard the story in the past. I certainly don't mean to relitigate it, but
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I remember walking out of the White House, at least for the last time when I was on the president's detail. And, you know, I was telling this guy, I didn't know I was going to leave, run for office. I went to the Baltimore office. I had no idea, but I was telling this friend of mine, this guy, Steve, another agent, very smart guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I was telling him how I felt like my life wasn't fulfilled and that I felt like I needed to do bigger things. But I knew it was going to be a massive sacrifice because I loved my job in the Secret Service. I loved it. It was so special to me. I'd worked so hard to get it. And finally, I'd finished the president's detail. It's the most difficult portion of your life. And I'm walking out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
And when you leave the president's detail, for those of you who don't know, you turn in your White House pass. You're a field agent that way. You can't just walk back into White House and go say hello to the guys. I know it's kind of surprising, but it doesn't work that way. If you're not meant to be on the White House grounds, you're not supposed to be there. End of story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
So I knew when that gate closed for the last time that I probably wasn't going to stay with the Secret Service. And I thought, gosh, unless I run for president, this would be the last time I may ever see the White House. Little did I know. But my friend Steve said to me a very famous line.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
He said, you know, Dan, you're going to make tough decisions, but the heavens have a way of putting a price on things. And the price for this was large. But I've told you repeatedly the do matters, correct? You think I'm going to tell you that and sit on my ass again when the opportunity comes up to change things? Folks, there's no excuses. People are policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
You've got to get people in there who read the Constitution and understand it. The Constitution cannot be a suggestion. It wasn't meant to be that way. And good people are going to have to step up in the next two and four years and make really complicated, hard decisions. We've seen it with Pete Hegseth over as Secretary of Defense, walked away from an incredible career in media.

We've seen it with Sean Parnell. We've seen it with tons of others who've stepped away from incredible jobs to go and serve. We have to step up. All of us are going to have to do something. We're going to reorient this government back to a constitutional republic, which we should. We're all going to have to do something. Kayleigh McEnany addressed on Fox last week.

She addressed the appointment of now Director Kash Patel at the FBI. She had some commentary on some of the problems, some of the issues at the FBI. She views that we need answers on. I wanted you to hear this important segment. It played last week, but thankfully, Director Patel got through. I think he's the best man for the job. I deeply appreciate his faith in me. It means a lot. Check this out.

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Yeah, it matters. It matters a lot. On a lighter note, I really want to interact with you guys over the coming weeks. This is going to be really hard, folks. I don't know how you, I can't speak for all of you. I've met a couple of you, but not obviously the whole crew, and there's a quarter million people watching right now, but.

Almost to the point that when I joined the chat in the morning, sometimes I can almost predict what everyone's going to say, because I just, we've just had this long relationship. It's going to be really hard to walk away with it. I think the dark over there, that's weird. Look at the TV. We're not, we're good, right? This is my TV. I think we might have fried the TV there too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
But someone asked me in the chat, Dan, a T-shirt or a suit and tie? I bring it up after what I just said because I was waiting for somebody to say that. Obviously, a suit and tie, folks. And you know when I interview the president, When he's president of the United States, I always put a tie on out of respect. But yeah, there are a lot of big changes.

There are a lot of things I've had to think about security-wise, logistics-wise, lifestyle-wise. I obviously love Florida. Florida is my home, but the job is in Washington, D.C. So that's been a lot to think about. And then I have a young daughter, and

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
really hard man it's harder than i thought i think you guys are starting to feel this is harder than i thought i have a really young daughter not really young but young enough and you know what And she's not she's not used to seeing me away from home.

My oldest daughter in college remembers the Secret Service time where I was on the road one year, something like 260, 70, 80 days or something like that. My youngest daughter is not used to this. So it is a forget about the money and business stuff. That's that's subordinate to family. And my daughter, even at 13,
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
understands that sometimes as a family we have to make really tough decisions and that's been that's been the hardest part but i think she understands that the opportunity to join a an administration committed to re-establishing our constitutional republic and bring back the glory days of the United States, you can't say no. Folks, there's a lot of talented people in this administration.

I'm glad to be a small piece of it in the weeks and months. It's going to be a long process. Obviously, winding down some of the business components of this takes time. It's going to happen overnight. And there's a process for that legally and ethics-wise. And we'll be obviously following that to the letter. but it's going to be a long road. But you have people like this in there too.

First, I want to congratulate, and this means a lot to me, I want to congratulate Laura Trump. Laura Trump has the nine o'clock weekend show now on Fox on Saturday, a spot I'm very familiar with. A lot of you watched Unfiltered and we were in that spot. It's a great spot. A lot of patriots watch news television on Saturday night. The ratings, I'm sure, are going to be insane for her.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
She had a great lineup of people. And she had a director of national intelligence, DNI, Tulsi Gabbard on. And I want you to listen to this, folks. This administration is clear-eyed on what the threats to the homeland are. Remember. You're going to get in positions like this. Everybody knows you keep the homeland safe. Keep the homeland safe. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
This administration is clear-eyed on threats to this homeland, clear-eyed. And the people they have in charge right now, FBI Director Patel, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, CIA Director Radcliffe, Deputy Director Michael Ellis, they're very clear-eyed on what the threat is.

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Folks, I'm going to tell you what I said in the beginning and I'm going to leave it here because this has been a lot for me today and I really deeply appreciate your support. It's not going to be the last show. We'll be winding it down. There are not a lot left. I will let you know a date soon. It'll be sooner rather than later.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
And I'll have some announcements about how we're going to transition the business for you tomorrow. So please don't miss tomorrow's show. I'll be on the radio today as well. But the people they've selected are clear-eyed on this threat. And it's the honor of a lifetime to be able to sit at the table with them. I hope you understand why I made the decision I made. Thank you guys for being here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I'm sorry if I... I promise you I'm elated about this opportunity. I just don't want to pretend that I'm elated about losing you guys and stepping away for a bit to do this mission. And I really... I hope you guys understand. I got very few people, very few negative comments, but some are a little upset. And I hope you understand why I made the decision I made.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
You don't turn an opportunity like that down. So thank you, President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel. And again, throughout the week, I'll be giving you more detailed plans about how we're going to transition from business to back into government. It'll make sense, I promise you. Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I want to play this for you first because the Bongino Army out there and all of our supporters, you guys and ladies out there have been amazing. And someone, one of you sent this to me and a friend of mine sent it to me as well. And I gave this speech at the Heritage Foundation 11 years ago. And it was about good people stepping up. Not just me. It's not about me. It's about a bigger vision.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I'll see you on the radio show in a little bit, and back here tomorrow at 11 a.m. See you then. You just heard the Dan Bongino Show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I'd do it. Only if President Trump personally wanted it. Him, if he wanted it. I've never envisioned myself going back in government again, ever. Like ever, ever, ever. I can't say that enough. Repeating decimal, right? You know, there comes a time where I wouldn't even take a salary for this stuff. There comes a time where, you know, your country matters more.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
And I never got in this stuff for the money or the glory or any crap like that. It just happened. I'm honored that people think that. But, yeah, I'm kind of flattered. If he called, I'd have to consider anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I want you to listen. It's about a minute and a half of it, but it's worth your time. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
We can fix it, though, folks. And I think it's going to take some good, passionate people going forward. And I think it's going to take more people to speak out. I think right now there's a crisis of internal leadership. I think people during a recession are afraid to leave.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
And the interesting thing about this weekend update is producer Jim, at least on the radio show, is not going to have to run the let's take a brief interlude into Dan's personal life because my personal life is no longer personal. Folks, I'm sure by now you've heard the news. Wait, let me just do I have it on? I already took it. Sorry.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
But I speak to people all the time on my cell phone, on the inside, who are just as frustrated as I am, whether from the military or anywhere else. And I think it's going to take just a tidal wave of people speaking out to really create some effective change.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
This is really hard for me, folks. I hope you understand. We spent a long time building this. We. Me, my wife, Guy, Michael, Justin, Jasmine, Evita. My wife and I started doing this show and it started in a basement. It was me, Joe, and Paula. That was it. We started doing the show, and Paula was putting together show clips for me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
We never expected it to become this massive live stream and podcast and radio show. We never expected it. I knew you guys were going to be there for us. So to walk away from it, Yeah, it's not easy. And I'm getting like money and all that other crap that doesn't gives a damn about any of that stuff. We'll figure that out later. But you know, I'm not gonna tell you as an audience,
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
what's been one of our just bedrock principles of this Bongino army out there and this people, this massive audience we've had, what's one of the bedrock principles, right? The do matters. We've talked about the do. You can talk all you want. I tell you all the time, I don't feel like I have a real job. I don't. I don't feel like...
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I feel like you guys are the ones out there getting your hands dirty, the truckers, the cops, the pilots, the architects, the men and women in our military. I appreciate everything, but if the do matters, I'm not going to sit here as a commentator, talking head, whatever dopey title we have.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I'm not going to sit here and tell you the do matters and then sit on my ass when an opportunity comes to do the right thing and not only talk about everything we wanted to change, but actually change it. There are a lot of people listening today. And I hope you understand that. I want to address something too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I know, you know, New York Times and others, of course, all of the attack pieces start already, which is fascinating from these two who were on the wrong side of the truth when it came to the collusion hoax and others. I don't think they understand what it's like to commit to service, not partisan service, but service.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I get it if you are a political opponent of mine that has been involved with proudly celebrating a weaponized justice system, how you don't understand how a guy like me who discusses partisan content in an opinion show can go and do a unquestionably nonpartisan job I'm going to ask you a simple question. Have you seen what I did before I came here? I'm committed to service.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Someone gave me the man card, gave me like an actual man card one day. Like it's a little, it looks like a credit card, kind of a joke, obviously. So let me just turn that in right now because this may be a little bit emotional and let me apologize in advance. I, I, um, I was home last night and, um, I'm sitting there. I'm just, I was watching a show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
People play different roles in their lives. People are dads. People are soccer coaches. People are cops and military officers and military enlisted people. People are carpenters. People are plumbers. We play different roles in our life, and each one requires a different skill set. I've been there. I know what this is like. And it's time for me to step up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Folks, I have to thank my family first, though. You know, most of you know Paula. Paula's been with me a long time. Folks, we met, I don't know if you know the story. It's certainly not my autobiography today, but we met just a couple of weeks before 9-11. I mean, an actual couple of weeks, like two weeks before 9-11.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I, my second date hadn't even happened with Paula and she worked at one 20 Broadway, which is the building that looks right into the world trade center right there. She worked for a company at the time called SIA. The nine 11 attacks happened. I had only been on one date with her. We barely knew each other, but I knew I was in love. So I, uh, I called her and she didn't answer the phone.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I thought she was dead. I did. I panicked. I thought she was dead. I couldn't believe it. I said, I just met this woman. Well, it turned out we'd just been on one date and she was actually in Nevada. Her mom lived in Centennial Hills in Nevada, actually Summerlin, I think back then. And she was out in Nevada. I couldn't believe she was alive.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
But we met two weeks before the most devastating terror attack, one of them in American history. That was an event we all scarred us forever. I was an agent watching that. We've been through a lot together. We've been through the Secret Service. We've been through the president's detail. We've been through cancer. We've been through some health crises with her.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
We have two beautiful daughters, one in college and one younger one still in grammar school. We've been through three runs for political office. We've been through the launch of a podcast 11 years ago and everybody laughed at us. They're not laughing now. They did. They actually laughed at us. Oh, podcast. That's cute. What happened? Can't get a real show. We lived through all of that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
We spent our last $10,000 on a microphone and some mixers in the basement of our house in Maryland. Paula's always been willing to take a chance on me. Always. She said on her first date that she knew I was something special, which I didn't think I was anything special back then, but I guess she did. She's been busting her ass all weekend. Why? Because there's going to be a major transition.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
It's not going to be the last show, but we've only got a few more left with you. So obviously we're going to be working with a team of people to make this transition from me, political commentator Dan, to deputy director of the FBI Dan. Those are different roles, require different skills. Skills I haven't have used before and I plan to use again. It's going to hurt to leave you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I didn't even know what I was watching, Food That Built America or something like that. And I was falling asleep because it had been a really long day. Now you know why. And some of you kind of understand why the show had a different tone over the last couple of weeks. And I got a call from the president and he couldn't have been nicer.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I'll discuss over the course of the coming days. I'll be with you for a little bit longer on radio and on my show, I will discuss exactly what's going to happen. It's not going to impact Evita or Haley's content at all. My wife has been running the business for a long time. I don't get involved with the business at all. I do the talking, but I want to ask you who's next. Who's next?
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
This isn't just about me, folks. The do matters. Who's next? You know, I said last week and a couple of media critics commented, I said, we're all going to have to take it on the chin a little bit. Now, do you see what I meant? I never got in this for the money or notoriety.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Listen, I enjoy making money and that I can impact people's lives and that people come out and say nice things to me as much as the next guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
But if you think that's why I got involved in this, running as a Republican in deep blue Maryland, my life of activism and my time in the Secret Service, if you think I got into the Secret Service to get rich, then you don't know me and you haven't seen the government salary scale. But I am going in this clear-eyed. Vision of President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
I am going to do my job to implement that vision. And I can tell you right now, we are going to try our best. Every single thing I have in me, every single strand of DNA cell in my body is going to be dedicated towards keeping this homeland safe, no matter what. No matter what. That's my job. We're going to reestablish faith in this institution.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
the good people there doing their job, hitting the streets, developing sources. We'll have your back. We are going to reestablish faith in this institution. The FBI belongs to the American people. It doesn't belong to me. It doesn't belong to anyone else but the American people. But this is the honor of a lifetime, and it's a serious mission. And I plan on implementing that vision.
The Dan Bongino Show
Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
Folks, there are a small number of people out there in the country right now dedicated to doing really bad things. It's not the overwhelming majority of Americans are patriots that love this country and love their family. They love their jobs.

Cutesy Time Is Over (Ep. 2429)
They go to work every day, but there are a small number of really bad people out there who are planning on really bad things from terrorists to narco traffickers, child sex rings, gang members, I'm going to tell you right now, I'm not going to rest easy until we find as many of you as we can. Don't sleep after today. That's my mission. Folks, of course, the Constitution matters.

Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Look, Andrew, Yes. And you have to understand something. And this is not specific to government, but to any large organization, including a government administration. People have different views on what the correct policies should be, what the correct operational measures should be. Those disagreements, those different views are voiced.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
decisions are made, and then everyone marches in unity together. That is the nature of a large organization, and the government is no different.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I don't want to get into the deliberative process. We're one team and it's one effort. But there's this is not a revolutionary concept that there are disparate views when one has many people involved in the decision making process.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Did you catch it? Did you catch it? By the way, you'll see on the screen, live coverage up on Capitol Hill. You'll see you got Pete Hegseth there, Lee Zeldin, EPA, Ratcliffe, CIA. You got Scott Turner. You have HUD. You got HHS, RFK, NSA, Michael Walls, AG, Bondi. None confirmed yet, but getting there. You got Elon there. You got a big crowd over there. But did you catch it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Folks, tell me you don't see what's going on here. I know you guys and ladies out there are way ahead of the average political viewer because you watch this show and I read your comments in the chat and on Facebook and elsewhere. Did you catch it? He's already throwing a guy under the bus. He wasn't even out of office yet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Man, folks, what an absolute... honor, I mean, in all caps with an exclamation, maybe double exclamation point at the end, to broadcast live from Washington, D.C., guys, right, just blocks away from, I mean, a couple, you know, I hate the word literally because it's overused, but maybe two blocks away from the festivities in D.C. When I say festivities, by the way, welcome to the revolution.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
What do you think is going to happen when Biden's political power and his political bank account— I'm not talking about cash, cheese, queso, or bread. I'm talking about his political power— Donald Trump has political power, even when he's out of office. His endorsement can change an election, a true social post can change a policy. Biden is absolutely dead in the water when he leaves.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
He has no political capital, no political bank account, no political power, and even his inner circle loyalists are starting to turn on him. Believe me when I tell you, I obviously disagree with Pelosi, Obama, Clinton, and that inner circle of people. but they still have a lot of whack and the ability to hurt you bad.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
You do not want the Obama organization, the Clinton mafia, and all of the Pelosi crew, Schumer, and all of these losers coming after you, and then your inner sanctum, Mayorkas and others. or start to turn on you. It's only a matter of time before Lloyd Austin and others start to turn on him. You see we got the members of the Supreme Court coming in now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I said, it's like a multi-block citywide block party. There's not like a non-MAGA person in sight, which having worked in D.C. for a really long time, I got to tell you, it's just weird. I've never walked the streets of D.C. and candidly felt like I was home, even when I worked at the White House in the Bush administration, you know, in my prior line of work.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Obviously a show of unity within the three branches of government. Glad they're there. There's Amy Coney Barrett. You see Neil Gorsuch. John Roberts leading the way. One of the more liberal members of the Supreme... One of the more liberal members of the liberal wing of the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh. The great, legendary Clarence Thomas. There he is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Always got to give a hat tip to the OG, Clarence Thomas. We love him. Sam Alito, too. Almost never lets us down. I hope you guys are okay, by the way, with...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
us bouncing back and forth folks in the chat yes or no i the show's for you and i just feel like it's important to give you news so you can watch it on demand and it's all still relevant like my cannibalism theory and the eos but also to cover what's going on you guys okay with that all right cool i see in the chat yes who said yes Big Cody Dog. Thank you, Big Cody Dog. We love you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
114,000 people. Look at Michael throwing it on the screen. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Good. This is going to be a fun show today. All right. Back to my cannibalism theory. I say, oh, yeah. I'm sorry. I'll get to that in a second. Folks, this is going to be probably the craziest story of the weekend.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I don't know if you saw this clip, and I want to get to it before we see the official swearing in, which we'll show you some coverage of that. But there's still people filing in. Mike Johnson did an interview. And did you guys see this clip? Speaker Mike Johnson. A lot of people are saying, well, why didn't Mike Johnson tell us sooner than others? Folks, they did.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I don't know if Johnson specifically, but a lot of other people out there warned us that Biden's mental acuity and his state of cognitive disrepair was so severe that people aren't really sure right now who's in charge of the White House. If you didn't see this clip, I want you to watch this. It's not that it's not just that they didn't know who was in charge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Mike Johnson says Biden didn't even know about bills and executive orders. He himself signed. This is troubling. Probably the craziest story of the day. You got to see it. You be the judge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Do you have any idea what a major scandal this is? That the President of the United States signed the most destructive energy resource petrochemical bill we've seen in the last 10 years and had no idea what he was doing? This is a monstrous scandal. And that people around him had to know this? Fair enough. Why didn't they warn us sooner? That's a legitimate beef. A lot of Republicans did.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But it just feels like there's been a whole takeover of the city, not just ideologically by people, too. I met so many nice people. You may be asking, too, you know, Dan, I thought you said you were going to go from the studio on Monday. I'm going to explain to you because, folks, listen to me. I am never going to BS you why I came up here really at the last minute.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
This is a huge scandal. This guy practically destroyed our oil export LNG business and didn't even know he did it. Folks, if this isn't investigated, when we leave office, it's going to happen again. But there are a lot of people who are going to be prevented from being at least prosecuted but not investigated too. I got that coming up next. We'll dip in and out again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
The Capitol people are still filing in. Quick break. You having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Listen, I've been there. It's not just about feeling tired the next day. It's about the toll poor sleep takes on your body. That's why I've been talking about Beam's Dream Powder for a long time. I use it. It helps me get a deep, restful night's sleep, and it prevents me from getting up all night.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Sometimes I fall asleep, right, but then I'm up two hours later, so it defeats the purpose. They sent me something to try. I've been a game changer. I'm looking ahead to 2025 and quality, restful night's sleep where you hear your body. Other sleep aids can cause that next-day grogginess, but Beam has a powerful blend of reishi, magnesium, L-theanine, apigenin, and melatonin.

That's where your body fixes itself. All right, back to the show. Let's dip in quickly here just to Capitol Hill. You see Jared Kushner you see there. You have Lara Trump, Marco Rubio. There's Zuckerberg. You see Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook there. Jeff Bezos. That's Sundar, I believe, from Google. Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary nominee. Is that Laura Sanchez next to Jeff Bezos?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Yeah, that's him. Are they married yet? Anybody know in the chat? I'm not really sure. I don't follow like the page six things on who's married and who's not. But it's a little interesting, right, to see these tech titans. And just so you know, I got a lot to get to, but this kind of goes back to the beginning of the show. And I think Trump is playing this the same way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
It makes no sense right now to get emotional about this stuff. We need to fix an outcome. We were censored in the past using some of these exact same people. Jeff Bezos, Google Sundar, YouTube. I got I'm still banned from YouTube for telling you masks don't work, but I'm not emotional about it. I need an outcome.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Paul and I made a snap decision. We were in Miami yesterday. We're like, we got to go. I'll tell you what's up and what happened. So stand by. Big show today. Lot to cover. Good news, bad news, a whole bunch of breaking news. Michael's going to dip in and out of what's going on today. President went to church this morning. Met them at the White House, the former outgoing disaster of a president.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And if these people are going to come and, you know, kiss Trump's ass and kiss the ring and are going to fix this bullshit, then you know what? Let him fix it. I mean, I wouldn't say no. Keep censoring us. I need to win. I need to tactically win. And I'm not going to get emotional about this stuff. I'm sorry. It's too much destruction going on on the way out the door. What do I mean by that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
This is, I don't mean to be depressing on such a wonderful day, but this is a news show and I got to give you both sides. I promise we're going to end with the litany of good news because the winning, trust me, has just begun.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I don't know if you even caught all these stories, but I told you this guy had the weekend and right up to now, Joe Biden, thankfully this is ending, the ability to destroy this country and he's taken it. This is one of the most disturbing things he's done yet. Kyle Griffin, who has blocked me on X, which is good because I don't like this guy anyway. But he puts in there breaking.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
President Biden just pardoned Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, the January 6th committee members of Congress and their staffers and the police officers who testified before the J6 committee. Biden says these pardons are not an acknowledgement of wrongdoing. Then why the would you need a pardon? Folks, this is some serious bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Now, I would be remiss if I did not tell you that a preemptive pardon for a crime you're saying never happened, he notes they're exceptional circumstances and I cannot do nothing, even when individuals have done nothing wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
If they did nothing wrong, how in a court, unless you're acknowledging the government court system is completely political like it was against Donald Trump, if they did nothing wrong, what are you worried about? This, one, there's a question about the constitutionality of this. And there's a way to test it. Anybody know?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
All of these individuals, Milley, Fauci, Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, and others, should be brought up to Capitol Hill, and if the pardon is constitutionally valid, there's no threat of prosecution. Correct?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
So if there's no threat of prosecution, there is zero reason whatsoever that they can cite the Fifth Amendment as a reason not to testify against prosecution because there's no threat of prosecution. You can't have it both ways, bro. What I'm getting at is even if these pardons do turn out to be constitutionally valid, which I doubt, then this investigation cannot stop.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Because, ladies and gentlemen, knowledge is power. And if we don't figure out what Anthony Fauci's role in, in the COVID disaster and scandal... not just the closing of the schools, the lying about the masks, the lying about the vax, but the funding of a potential Chinese bioweapon that killed millions of people around the world, then, dude, it's going to happen again.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
This does not stop congressional committees and others from investigating. And I don't want to hear shit from the swampy, rhino-ass Republican crowd. It's the past. It's time to move on. It's not the past.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
It's a statement about the role of weaponized big government in our lives, from everything from the prosecution of Donald Trump to the weaponization of government against landlords and keeping our kids out of school. Bullshit. We should absolutely still investigate this. They should be hauled up to Capitol Hill, put under oath, and forced to testify. And there'll be no pleading the fifth.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
President Trump, of course, very classy doing that. Not sure I'd have the same self-control with these guys, but that's why I'm not president. He is. Hey, just got back from a holiday trip. You know what? We were totally prepared with all of our essential medications. Ivermectin, antibiotics, anti-nausea drugs. Where did I get them from?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Here's Adam Kinzinger himself, crying Adam, captain of the rhinos, absolute life loser zero. Here's a little quickie montage of Adam Kinzinger saying, well, who'd you need a pardon for if you're not guilty of anything? Gee, I don't know, Adam. Maybe you can answer that question now. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Yeah, I agree. I'm not asking for a pardon. What do I need a pardon for? I don't need a pardon. Matter of fact, if they were to prosecute me for one of their fabricated Trump-level crimes they make up out of thin air, like the fake fraud case with no victims up in New York, you're only going to add to my audience and our power.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
It's the most powerful MAGA show out there by far by prosecuting me and making a martyr out of us. I don't need a pardon. And either should Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, or others. Why didn't they just turn it down? Why didn't they just, you're telling me, seriously, with a straight face, you're going to tell me that they didn't know this was coming? Michael, you need a pardon?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Michael doesn't need a pardon. I don't need a pardon. Evita doesn't need a pardon. Michael's like, well, I don't know. I think back in high school, I think the statute of limitations. Paula don't need no pardon. All right, now I want to get to the good news, but the ceremony's going to start. Dip in there quickly. You'll see they got everything set up. Oh, there we go.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
There's Snoop Doggy Doug and famed neurosurgeon Dr. Jill Biden coming in. Look at them. It's just the picture of dignity. Dr. Jill Biden, I wonder if she just got out of surgery. Did she perform a neurosurgery? We got the family coming. Oh, look at Barron, man. Barron looking sharp. Is Barron like seven feet tall or what? My gosh, Michael's like seven feet tall.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And I think Barron, look at him, he's taller than Eric. And Eric's a big guy. If you ever stood next to Eric, Eric's particularly tall. So again, we'll be dipping in and out of this. You know, let's take our last break of the show so we can run through this.

No, we cover that stuff because it's part of the news cycle and it shows you what we're combating. But folks, the good news is the winning has already begun. I want you to check this out. Washington Post. John Hudson.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Scores of career State Department diplomats resign before Trump's inauguration. Trump's team requested high-level resignations as the president-elect prepares a sharp break with the Biden administration. Again, the famed Dan Bongino. Yes! It is time. People are policy, brothers and sisters, in the vast and growing Bongino Army. People are policy. No, Dan, policy is policy. Policy is not policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
The Constitution is just a suggestion to the left. It doesn't matter to them. I prove it to you over and over when I talk about the student loan debacle. There's nothing in the Constitution that says Biden can steal your money to pay off some woman named Marcy's student loans. But he did it. Supreme Court told him not to do it. He did it anyway. Dan, how can that happen?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Because, folks, the Constitution is just a suggestion to the left. People are policy. If you get people in there who believe in the Constitution, we will get back to a constitutional republic. The fact that these State Department folks are resigning en masse says what? Some of you in the chat will pick up on this. The Trump team learned from its first term exactly that lesson.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
People are policy, not policy. People are policy. So that these people are walking out the door is absolutely fantastic news. State Department diplomats can do a lot of damage. Go back and read my book, Spygate. You get it from the library, whatever, as you know. I'm not trying to sell you books or anything like that. But you'll see how the State Department
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
was a key component in making sure the media ran with the fake Russia collusion hoax. The State Department had a key role in that. It is extremely powerful. You should be glad they're resigning en masse. Here's another piece of good news out of the New York Post. Illegal immigrants, who, by the way, they broke the law by coming here illegally. That's why it's called illegal immigration.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Worried migrants flee New York City shelters as Trump ice raids loom. It's better to leave before. Again, people or policy. Folks, the policy hasn't even changed yet. Trump has not signed a single executive order because he's not sworn in yet. He will be by the time many of you watch this. But that's not the point. The point is, he's not right now, and migrants are already leaving. Why?

Because there's new people in there. Tom Holman and others. Kristi Noem at DHS, you are going to see a change in direction and a massive one moving forward. And that's the reason people are leaving who are here illegally, or at least leaving the shelters and finding that they're not going to get a big warm and fuzzy. Ladies and gentlemen in the chat, answer this question for me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
What level of illegal immigration should we accept? How many? Any ideas? You know what the official position of the Dan Bongino show, I.E. Me, eponymously named is? Any ideas? How many in the chat? How many illegal immigrants should we accept? Let's see who gets it first. There we go. Laurie Thomas T. None. Zero. You are correct. We accept zero. That is, we either have laws or we don't. Zero.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Who said that? T. Random. Yes. Zippo. Zero. Now, does that mean we're going to have zero illegal immigrants? No, of course not. Is that an acceptance of defeat? Absolutely not, folks. We're human beings. You know, how many murders do we accept? Zero. Are there still murders? Yes, because it's hard to predict human behavior. This is a minority report.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And people, unless they've broken the law, you can't go out and lock them up preemptively. This isn't Tom Cruise's minority report. Hey, the precog said you're going to commit a murder across the border. However, when you...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
aspire to zero illegal immigration rather than the Biden team that aspires to a whole country full of illegal immigrants, you're going to see a massive drop because people are policy. I wanted to get to this, too. This was Fox coverage the other day. I don't know if you saw this, but Trump is setting up a signing station at Capital One Arena for today. You guys hear this story in the chat?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
This is total personnel. Who said that? Speak to Truth McGroin. Yeah, brother. Total personnel warfare. Total personnel warfare. People are policy. There's Newt Gingrich you see on the screen right now. You got a whole bunch of people. Look at it. Who is that? Is that the old speaker? That is, right? My eyes aren't that great. Yeah, look at that. You got a whole bunch of people like paying homage.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
That's such a, you got Kevin McCarthy there too. You got the whole crew, man. You got a lot of rhinos. Oh, look, look, it's Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Another one knee deep in the whole Spygate affair. There's Don Jr. and Ivanka looking great, looking serious up there. Baron again. See him on the screen. A total personnel warfare.

Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But getting back to what point I was going to make, there is no one who understands the showmanship of politics like Donald Trump. Folks, he's a unique figure. And again, that's another word I hate because it's unbelievably overused, which is kind of ironic when you think about it. Nobody understands modern politics and the showmanship of it like Donald Trump.

The word out there is at Capital One Arena, he's going to do a signing ceremony in front of a massive crowd, which is, I don't believe, ever been done before, with this desk. And he is going to sign a bevy of EOs. Ladies and gentlemen, not only Total Personnel Warfare, thank you, speak the truth, but another one. Shock. That's all I want to see.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I want to see the Dan Bongino now soon to be implemented shock and awe theory of government, which resembles one of our other theories of government, the Rock'em Sock'em Robots theory. That was about appointments. This is about policy. The second they start bitching about one EO, you sign another one. And the second they start writing about that, bang, you sign another one. I got this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I was just in Miami. It's a... Just keep signing. Just keep signing. Here's Fox News coverage of what's coming. Ladies and gentlemen, shock and awe, kids. Shock and awe. Check this out.

Now, Michael, wouldn't you agree we wish nothing but the best of health on President Trump? Of course, right? But, Michael, would you also agree that nothing would please me more than tomorrow President Trump coming in with a sling on his arm because it's swollen? He's a righty. Would you not agree? Folks, my arm's a little swollen. I've got this sling on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I think he should do that, even if he doesn't need it. I think he should come out with the sling on and go, folks... It would be like when he came out with the sanitation vest on, the orange sanitation vest, which was amazing. He should come out with a sling up. You know what? It hurts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I signed 200 EOs fixing everything from the border to the disastrous energy policies to Biden's Title IX bullshit to the SEC targeting of Elon to Cuba being pulled off the terror list. to economic, to petrochemicals, to energy. I signed so much, I've got to put this sling on my arm because the winning hurts. Folks, the winning actually hurts. Here we go. It's what you look like tomorrow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Don't you agree? You know what? It should be like, it shouldn't even be a formal sling. It should be like the first blood, John Rambo from the first blood thing when he just like makes it out of a canvas sack and he sticks his head in. I can't do it. The winning is just painful, folks. My arm is actually swollen. He should flex and be like, I can't do it. I can't do it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I'm going to auto sign the rest of them. That's what winning looks like here is an informal list of some of the proposed EOs, obvious executive orders. Of course, obviously we'll know it about, we'll know about it more. The details, Jackie Heinrich, who's an excellent reporter at Fox. Oh, wait, wait, hold on. We'll go back. We got to dip into this. Usha Vance. Can we pop into that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
There's Usha Vance, our now second lady, looking lovely. The absolutely stunning Melania Trump with, I don't know, outfits or designers, but looks just incredibly classy, as she always does. Ladies and gentlemen, the classiest first lady I think we've ever had. Melania Trump, you know, when I say that, because again, I'm not emotional.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Melania Trump and I don't agree about every political issue and stuff, but there's no question she brings dignity and class to the office. Looks amazing. She's got a black type fancy hat with some white in it and then a trench coat type outfit. I'm not one for designers, folks. I got my damn budget. You know who designed this? Paula. So freedom and liberty, Dan Bongino shirt. So you get the point.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
That's not close. I mean, I have to go to a black tie event and folks, you agree or not. Is it, I'm wearing a black suit with a black, is that okay? Do you guys know black tie stuff? I'm wearing a black tie with a black suit. Is that okay? Michael says it's okay, folks, in the chat. Is that day class A? Am I showing up like a bum? I promise it's a nice suit. It's not like a cheapo.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But I'm not interested. That's not my thing. And I'm definitely not wearing no bow tie. Maybe one day if someone asks me to play James Bond in a movie, which is never going to happen, I'll put the bow tie on. But I'm sorry. I think a black tie and a black suit is enough. Who the hell is going to know the difference? I haven't been to a black tie event in so long.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And I don't even remember the last time I wore a tuxedo. I think it was with the Secret Service when they used to make you wear these poorly fitting tuxedos for black tie events. Okay. Let me go back to that Jackie Heinrich tweet. Sorry, folks. You know I get distracted easily. List of the executive orders. Close the border to illegals via proclamation. Declare a national emergency.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Cartels, designated foreign terrorist organizations, reinstituting remain in Mexico and catch a release. This will be absolutely outstanding. Unleash Alaskan energy. Thank the Lord.

I was hoping it wasn't like a bell loop to blow. It was ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. It reminded me of a WWE match where the guy submits and they don't let him go and they keep ringing the bell. So good. We fixed that. Thank you guys. That's why we do a thorough rundown. Michael's always on top of it. So ladies and gentlemen, I got down here. last night.

Suspending security clearances for the 51 tyrants who signed that ridiculous laptop letter. Thankfully, end all DEI programs across the federal government, an absolute device of disgrace. Establish a new DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency. The left has threatened to sue about that right away. Declare a national energy emergency. Pause offshore wind leases.

Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Withdraw from the Paris Disastrous Climate Accords. And finally, direct all agencies and departments to remove all federal actions that increase costs for families and consumers alike. I think that's fantastic. Stephen Miller, who's an excellent advisor to President Trump, apparently has been briefing members about what's coming up on the border. you'll see this coming up here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And he's been, oh, what was that? Here we go. Oh, thank you, Michael, for dipping in. You see now Biden, Kamala Harris dipping in there. Biden looks confused. As you can see from Joe Biden, would you guys agree he's curious as to where he is right now? He's been told, follow the guy in front of you. He has no idea who that is. That is the Democrat minority leader on the House side, Hakeem Jeffries.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Biden's been told, he's talking to Kamala. Who's this guy in front of me that I've been told to follow? There's probably, let's look at the back of Hakeem Jeffries here. Hakeem Jervie has a sign on the back. It says follow here with an I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Fact checkers. I'm not sure if you're still in business after Facebook dumped you or said they dumped you. I'm not sure.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But of course, we're just kidding. But he doesn't know where he's going. Joe Biden. He looks confused. Him and Kamala Harris. You see the look at his face. I'm not exaggerating, by the way. He genuinely looks confused as to where he's actually going. Here's a tweet about Stephen Miller from Alex Salvi talking about all of these blitz of executive orders that are going to happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
You can read it, but it's going to be a big deal. This stuff is going down, folks, and it's happening right now. Oh, there he is, J.D. Vance. That's good to see. Now we're just moments away from him being the vice president of the United States. Folks, a guy I supported early publicly. I think you all know that. Some of you had a different opinion about other candidates.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
As you know, I value your opinion. I have my own. I felt strongly about it. I think J.D. understands and has a finger on the pulse of the direction of the Republican Party better than a lot of politicians do. And I'm thinking and I was thinking at the time, it's from if you ever watch Hillbilly Elegy, how hard J.D. Vance grew up. You guys see you folks in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Have you watched that on Netflix or elsewhere? I know some of you don't like Netflix, but. His movie and book, Hillbilly Elegy, about how he grew up. Whether you like or don't like J.D., that's up to you. I'm not here to tell you who to like. I'm just saying, I think you'll respect him a lot more when you watch what he went through with the drug problem with his mom.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
It's something, sadly, I'm all too familiar with. That still digs at me sometimes. I got a lot more to get to, so don't go anywhere. Like I said, we'll be dipping in and out of coverage here. Folks, not just should we still investigate the people involved with these pardons, Mark Milley, Fauci, the J6 committee. We still don't have answers, ladies and gentlemen, on the pipe bomber.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
why the Secret Service text disappeared. Many people have been asking me about the Secret Service and the potential appointment of Sean Curran. I covered that on Friday. I know Sean personally, good, decent human being. He's a good husband, a good father to his kids. Whether he's the right guy or not, we're going to wait for outcomes, folks. I can't let my personal feelings get in the way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And I'm telling you, it's like a citywide block party. You know, I don't exaggerate this stuff. I never have. I've never seen Washington, D.C. like this. There are MAGA hats everywhere. So Paula, who always is very proactive about things, thankfully, because I am not. I am inherently reactive with a lot of stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I've already made my feelings known about the position. I've already told the president personally, I don't think he'd have any problem me sharing the phone call that if they need any kind of advice or guidance on the potential future of the secret service, I'm here. I'm not here to be. It's, it's his presidency. It's his decision what to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
It's not my, my only interest is in helping them advance the football and keeping this guy safe. Having said that, There is absolutely, oh, there he is. Yes, the boss. This is good. Look at this. Here he is. The Secret Service, his Secret Service code name last time was not the Emperor, but a couple guys used to jokingly call him the Emperor because the way he walks in the room. There he is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Is this not great to see? Folks in the chat, I got a favor. Blow up this chat. I hate to melt down Rumble today. American, yes, some of you beat me to the punch. American flags in the chat, ladies and gentlemen. The boss has arrived. The now moments away from being the 47th president of the United States, there is the lovely Melania being escorted in by a military escort. This is just...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I'm not going to do a Lawrence on the feeling going down my leg because it's tough to say you're not going to get emotionally like outcomes. And we haven't seen any outcomes yet. He hasn't even sworn in, but we worked hard folks for this moment. We, we noticed that and say, me, we, I can't vote, you know, 87 million times. Okay. I can vote once I asked you guys and ladies for a favor.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I said, go out and grab 10 people and bring them with you on election day. And you did. And that's why this moment is here right now. And my gosh, that's good to watch. Even if you're watching on demand, you get to relive this over and over. Or on Apple or Spotify, we thank you so much. It's been so good to be here throughout this whole process. It's just watching it happen again is very surreal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And I'm sorry to keep repeating it, but... Getting back to what I was talking about, we should still investigate Fauci, Milley and others, get them under oath.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But there's also reports out there, leading reports and leading report and others are reporting that the House Oversight Committee, Jim Comer, is saying that they're going to investigate employees of the FBI, DOJ, IRS and SEC who put up roadblocks to its inquiries into the Biden family. Good. None of these people should get away with it or else what's going to happen, folks?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Yes, it's going to happen again. It's going to happen again. This is what happened in the first term. There is an excellent, is this in the newsletter, this Cremel, whatever article it is? Please read this article. It's a sub stack. It is worth your time. Maybe not today, but wait, let's dip into this. Here's Biden again, looks lost. Someone told him, follow the lady to your left.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
He's like, I don't really know this lady. Is that my wife? Oh, look at it. Look, you know why they're clapping? They're clapping because they're like, thankfully, we're done with this idiot. There's Steve Witkoff, our Middle East envoy in the background. Look, Apple's Tim Cook is there, too. Kristi Noem. Right behind him, our nominee for DHS secretary.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Paula had booked a hotel room for us a long time ago on the assumption we would be here. I had changed my mind for a number of different reasons. I felt like it was really important to get a show out from the home studio. But we were invited to a number of events. Now, because it is important to me to absolutely never bullshit you, some of these events we were invited to, me and Chris from Rumble,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
All right, with the applause on this guy, I hope they're only applauding because he's leaving. This guy, really, I don't need to see his face at any event as majestic as today's. Okay, okay, look, Reverend Cain. He doesn't even know where he is. He has no idea why people are clapping. If you all are missing this live, by the way, this is terrific. I love dipping into the commentary.

It's about the first Trump term administration and how people or policy, how they did everything they could to lie to people because Trump was an outsider and his team wasn't as familiar with the machinations of government as other people who've been career politicians were. So they talk about how staffers would lie.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
It's a fascinating article to the Trump appointees and tell them they couldn't do stuff. It gives a number of examples that are really disturbing. That's not gonna happen this time. Throw up that part two to this. That career employees in DOJ refused to prosecute cases they ideologically disagreed with, even when the facts showed clear legal violations
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Civil rights staffers refusing to work on cases involving discrimination against Asian Americans at school and protecting nurses from being forced to participate in abortions. They lied to the Trump team. That's not going to happen this time. We got J.D. Vance. Coming in now, again, moments away from being our vice president. Lovely Usha off his left shoulder behind. Don Jr.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
off the right shoulder. Bezos right behind Don Jr. Fine at Elon. See Howard Lutnick there as well. Just a really majestic moment. J.D. just minutes away from being sworn in as vice president. Of course, the second in line for the presidency. Folks, we still have a lot of open questions while we're watching this and getting ready for the ceremony.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
We still have a lot of open questions that I'm not willing to let go. Again, Fauci, the J6 committee, the pipe bomber and others. But just getting back to the Secret Service, the potential appointment of Sean Curran as director, I haven't seen anything official yet. I've It seems like it's pretty much a done deal. A lot of people in the Secret Service are already talking about the transition.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But one thing we have to get to the bottom of immediately, I'm going to play a clip from Tucker Carlson's show here. He had the great Sean Davis on, is what the hell happened to Butler? Folks, we still have no explanation as to why this would seem to be a kid. How he had all this high-level... degree of kind of executive function to be able to pull this off.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And nobody seems to know if he was working with anyone still. I'm not buying it. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
We ever going to get an answer on that? It's kind of important, folks. And can I bring up something else that's not on anybody's radar right now either? I'm asking like Michael's going to know you can't. This is really important. This is not one of these throwaway stories. We need answers on that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And the next secret service director, if it's Sean Curran or anybody else, needs to get answers on that. And I better see on week one, month one, I'll give you a little bit of time. Week one, month one, and a full account of why the January 6th pipe bomber text disappeared. I'll be all over if it doesn't come out. All over it. Wait, let me just go dip in here. There he is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
There he is, the boss, walking in the room, shaking Joe Biden's hand, being very courteous, which he is because he's a gentleman. Barron shaking Joe Biden's hand, too. You see J.D. there. Donald Trump getting ready for the big moment here. This is, again, just a transformational moment in modern American history. There hasn't been an incoming president yet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
and not only invited, but people really want us to come, were not by people you would consider friendlies. So I had decided to pass. But one of them I thought it was really important to go to. And the reason is, I can't say don't get emotional about things and push for outcomes when I can help advance an outcome by having my voice be heard and then not take it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
With the political capital, Mr. Donald J. Trump, now soon to be President Donald J. Trump, has had in a long time. And ladies and gentlemen, we got two years to switch this place around. But just, sorry, getting back to my point, don't overlook who is going to head the Diplomatic Security Service. You're like, what the hell is that? This is important.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
If my vision and the vision of many other change agents for changing the Secret Service is implemented, then the Secret Service is only going to be responsible for threat investigations against the president, security for the president and their family, and the vice president. That's it. The Secret Service right now, which is ridiculous, by the way,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
is responsible for every foreign head of state security when they come to the United States. That has to go. That should immediately be turned over to the Diplomatic Security Service. That's going to be Marco Rubio at State Department. That's his Secret Service. They are excellent agents. They know what they're doing. There's going to need a massive expansion over there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But I would consider advising on that as well. They have to take foreign heads of state, all of them, get that out of the Secret Service's wheelhouse. So DSS, don't overlook that either. That is going to be a very, very critical appointment moving forward if transformational change is supposed to happen within the United States Secret Service. By the way, we will have a radio show today.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Some of you were asking, I saw in the chat, and I was reading some of your Facebook messages. Jim will be in Dallas. I'm obviously just, I'm moving right next door because Russell Brand's coming into the Rumble studio here at 12 to do his show. So I'm going to be moving right next door for the radio show. There will be a radio show at 12, but I wanted to get to one last story. Just dip in quick.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I'll show you just so you don't think you're missing anything right now, folks. It's Amy Klobuchar up there right now. Just rambling on probably about how Donald Trump is a fascist Nazi or something like that, making themselves look ridiculous. Who knows what the hell she's saying? But it hasn't started yet. We'll be dipping in and out in the radio show as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
If you want to watch that on Rumble, we'll be covering that live the entire day. But I'd be remiss if I did not address again what happened with TikTok this weekend. Donald Trump, the TikTok, I got a text from my daughter. My daughter is 21. She's an adult. She likes TikTok. I'm not going to lie to you about it. I've warned her about the ramifications of it, folks. You know, I use TikTok.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I use it to prepare the show. I'm very careful about where I use it because it is a CCP affiliated app and there is data theft that goes on. However, I was never for the ban of TikTok. You can go back and look. Because I know what they do. I know who they work with. And I've decided to take proactive measures and use the platform because it is helpful for me with show prep.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Donald Trump put out a true social post and is being widely credited with saving the platform. Some people disagree, notably Senator Tom Cotton. I want this thing gone right now. He said, I'm asking companies to not let TikTok stay dark. He's going to issue an executive order today. He wants to see the US at 50% ownership in a joint venture. I am an equity holder at Rumble.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I am not a manager here at Rumble. I have suggested to Chris many times that we should be involved in any of that. What they decide to do is up to them. But TikTok should, I agree with him 100%, at minimum, be 50% American owned. I think it should be 100%. But the deplatforming of it, I don't agree with. Some of you disagree. I don't. I think we should be warned. You are warned.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
You can look it up by yourself what they do. You don't have to worry about that with Rumble, of course. But TikTok, it is a problem and a significant one. All right, folks, I really appreciate you all tuning in today. I hope you enjoy the rest of today's Freedom Emancipation Day. We are reclaiming our country. I'm absolutely honored to be a part of it. I'm honored you're a part of it.

I'm going to give you a full and honest recount of my experience at some of these galas and events that I plan on attending.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
You may agree, you may not, and that's okay. I mean, I'm here to be authentic to you. I'm not here to bullshit people for clicks. But I felt like one particular event was really important. There's going to be some social media folks there, and I feel like it's important that some of these people hear it directly from me, what happened to me and to you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I understand if some of you think, hey, you shouldn't go to these things, fully understand. I think I need to have our voice heard. We were targeted by many of these companies. They want to talk. There's no harm in talking, okay? I want to hear what they have to say. I'll give you a recount tomorrow of how they go.

And they really pushed hard for me and Chris specifically to show up. So I tossed and turned about it. But I decided Sunday in Miami after, you know, three or four texts where they said, no, we really want to hear your side, that I thought it was important that they do hear it. I'd love to hear. Listen, I don't know what you guys think in the chat. You may say, hey, it's a dumb idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Freedom Day has arrived. Let the revolution begin. I mean, it's almost, isn't it like surreal that this moment has finally arrived? Where we've lived in, we've lived under this cloud of darkness for so long. And by the way, I'm not just talking about, sorry to just run out of the gate like this on fire, but I think it's important. It's not just the last four years, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
You know, F these people. It's OK. I appreciate and value your opinion. But it's kind of hypocritical for me to stay home and say, don't get emotional, and then to get emotional about it when I can hopefully advance a different outcome in the future. We are going to need some of these people in the next four years in a non-emotional, technical, political tactics manner.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
We are going to need them to advance our message. So that's why I decided to come up. I also want to thank you today for all your hard work. I want to thank Rumble, too. The studio up on Capitol Hill is absolutely beautiful. You can see the lighting here is amazing. We're working on the lighting back at home in my other place to make it sharper. But thank you to Rumble's studio.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Thank you to Rumble crew. You guys are awesome. I met Claudio, Alex, the whole crew today. I'll be with Chris, the CEO. And then thank you to all of you for making this day happen. It's so surreal being here. And really, you see up Capitol Hill now a lot going on. So we're going to be running some B-roll throughout the show. So that's why we started a little bit early. I have so much to get to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But thank you for all your hard work. I met so many people in the hotel. They could not have been nicer. You know, the selfie time thing was just great. We had like a photo line going. I met Congressman Troy Nels. And the minute we took a picture, everyone else came over, and everybody had the nicest things to say, so I deeply appreciate it. Met a lot of law enforcement, too, so thank you, guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
All right, first, let's get to some important content. There's a lot going on today, but there's a lot to discuss. There's some big news items. That's why I'm glad you're all tuning in. It's good to see you all. First, let's debunk some serious bullshit, okay? Listen to me. I don't know why, ultimately...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And I hate to tell you, I don't know, but I can't tell you dispositively why the inaugural festivities were moved from a traditional outdoor Capitol Hill event indoors. There has been a ton of speculation you were well aware of. Is it security reasons? Is it the weather? You know, it is cold. It's pretty damn cold down here, especially for me, a Floridian. Is it a combination of both?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Now, to be fair, the Trump team is saying it's absolutely not security related. But this, I can tell you, this theory is absolute bullshit because I'm down here and the city is packed full of Trump people. Throw up that tweet by Murphy, if you would, Michael. So here's Chris Murphy from Connecticut, obviously a hack loser Democrat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Trump canceled the outdoor inauguration because the mall was going to be empty and embarrassing. All he cares about are the tech bros and the ruling billionaires, so it's better they're the only ones in the room anyway. Ladies and gentlemen, that is bullshit. Michael, you're down here, correct? I'm not crazy? Seriously, folks, there's probably...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I mean, 100,000 people down here who I don't know what they're talking about, that the mall was going to be empty. I mean, I'm not the greatest judge of crowd size. I'm not going to get into that game. I'm just telling you, you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting someone with a MAGA hat down here. And by the way, they're not even in just one spot. I'm over down by the Marriott over there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
It's packed over there, too. We barely got out of the car. So I don't know what they're talking about or what city they're in. Oh, look, Mike Pence. I'm sure that's going to go over well. He's there, too. I guess they made him. Can you dip into that? Here we go. There's Mike Pence, folks, walking up on thing. We'll be dipping in and out of snow more. You don't need to tune in anywhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I'm not sure how well that's going to go over. Maybe they gave each other a fist bow, but whatevs. The city's packed. Michael, do you agree? You can't go anywhere. There is no crowd problems at all. Chris Murphy is making that up. And maybe because Chris Murphy and other Democrats have decided that instead of deal to deal with Donald Trump, they're going to basically shit on Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Maybe that's why this New York Post article is so relevant right now, that the Democrat Party is now at a historic level of unpopularity. The left is now more unpopular worldwide than any time since the Cold War. Yes, we have done our homework. We have exposed these people for lying frauds. What have I told you for the last... 10 years doing the podcast. The left is full of shit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Nothing they tell you is true on any issue of substance ever. Nothing. It's not one out of 100 things are true. 10% are true. 25% are true. Nothing is true. This is what they do. They lie to you all the time. Chris Murphy is making this up. I don't care about crowd size or getting into these arguments. They're just going to distract us from the mission.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I'm just telling you I'm down here, and it's total shit. And this is why you are seeing we have a unique opportunity here. We have folks in the chat. How many years do we have to get something done? Don't tell me four. We do not. We have two. The president's term is not four years. It's two two-year terms. Dan, it's the same thing. Yes, mathematically, it's not the same thing politically.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
And don't take this the wrong way. It's the last eight. Well, what do you mean? Trump did great his first term. 100%. They ruined his first term with Spygate, the collusion fiasco, the Hunter Biden laptop during the reelection campaign, the, you know, DC riots and all this other stuff. They ruined it. This just feels different. I'm going to give you my personal perspective.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
We have the midterms coming up. What does that have to do with this? The Democrats are in absolute disarray right now. I've got some video for you coming up. They're all turning on each other. My cannibalism theory, the Dan Bongino cannibalism theory, where the left will start eating each other alive if you just give them time. Folks, chalk it up for the dub.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I'm right again because we're always right on the Dan Bongino show. That's why we're the number one live stream in the MAGAverse anywhere by a long shot because we never bullshit people and we never will. They are eating themselves alive right now. They don't know what to do. Trump kicked their ass. They can't get their sea legs. Their knees are wobbly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
We have two years to make Freedom Day last and to really leave a lasting impact. I hope the next two after that are great too, but I work in two-year, not four-year cycles. Here's my cannibalism theory in full effect. Politico. otherwise known as Bullshitico. Here's Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Alexandra. Alexandra Pelosi blasts First Lady Jill Biden.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
So these two are now in a WWE Royal Rumble type event where the Pelosi's and the Obama's and the Clinton's hate the Biden's and the outgoing Biden team finds themselves increasingly isolated. Even Mayorkas is starting to turn on him. Politico, Lady McBiden, what does that mean?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
So they note, fueling the anger is Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, famed neurosurgeon, and now public nursing of a grudge toward Pelosi for pushing the president to withdraw from last year's campaign. Pelosi says, this is the daughter, if I was Lady McBiden, I'd put on my big girl pants, play the long game, and think about my husband's legacy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
There are many people left who have something nice to say about Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi is one of them. The younger Pelosi made clear she was always talking about herself. She was only speaking for herself. Sure, sure, Alexandra. Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton arriving now. Are there any stains on that suit? Did Bill Clinton just exit a bathroom? I'm just curious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Folks, I'm just asking questions. It's my job. I mean, I'm an... Was there a cigar lounge somewhere in the Capitol? Hillary, of course, looks ecstatic to be there. Look at her face with the face. Great. I lost again to Donald Trump. This is fantastic. So this is getting right now, getting together the Capitol Hill ceremony. As you can see, we'll be dipping into that. Sorry, my phone.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I want to make sure I can read you guys. There we go. Get that chat back up and running. Let's see who's commenting here. J. Doley, 82. Less than two years, Dan. You're right. We got to move quick. But proving to you the cannibalism theory is real. You saw the Pelosi thing. Oh, wait, let's dip into this. Here's George W. and Laura Bush. I got to be candid with you folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I'm not sure they're even that happy about being there. Donald Trump has remade the Republican Party away from the old kind of swampy, you know, Bushy mentality. I worked for President Bush. He was a decent guy. I told you I don't get emotional. I don't know how many times I get to say that. The outcomes were just not great. They just weren't.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
So, oh, look, here's Barack Obama with I'll notice sans Michelle. He is by himself strolling in with the famous Obama walk. Look at him. He's thinking, I can't believe it now. I lost three elections in a row to this guy. Had a cheat in the middle one with my boy, Joe Biden. He looks happy to be there, too. Obama's like, I can't believe I got it. I thought this guy was Hitler, by the way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
I thought he was Hitler and Mussolini and a fascist. It's amazing how they all come to pay their respects given this new era of Hitler. It shows you again that was all bullshit the whole time. Here is the most critical, I think, soundbite of the weekend, though. Because it's... President Trump, we're just minutes again from him being, you know, the president.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Michael's here, too, is producing. Michael's been here longer than me because Michael's father-in-law, the great Sean Duffy, Evita's dad, is in the process of being confirmed as the transportation secretary. So Michael's been at a lot of the events. The energy here is crazy. I just had the CEO of Westwood One sent me a text, the radio company I work with. And he said, how is it down there?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
But he wasn't even out of office, Joe Biden, this weekend. And his inner circle, his cabinet, is already turning on him. I want you to listen to this soundbite and then we'll dip back into Capitol Hill. Here is Mayorkas hinting in a weekend interview. that, hey, man, it really wasn't me who wanted to open the border. There were basically a wide variety of opinions.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump's Historic Inauguration - LIVE FROM DC (Ep. 2404)
Make no mistake, this is him throwing Biden on the bus, saying, I didn't want to do that. Biden told me to do it. This is just the beginning of the shitstorm that's coming once Biden's officially out of office. Watch for yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I don't know how many times I got to say it. Snapshots and soundbites, folks. That is what politics is. You want to build political power. You have to create kind of what they call now in the influencer business, a brand. For the record, I freaking hate it when they say that. You got to build your brand. I just can't stand it because it seems like... one of those dopey buzzwords.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Again, why are we the media now? Because this show, you, all of us together, I'm reading you. I mean, I read your chats. The reason we did that decided to go live. Remember, we weren't live. What, a year ago, a year and a half we've been doing this. We were never live. We used to record the show at nine in the morning and then launch it two hours later.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I decided to go live because I wanted to make this more of like a symmetric atmosphere where you guys can talk to me. I can read your stuff. When I said that, a lot of you got it. I read the chat that they are walking in a legal trap that they've set for themselves. They're actually empowering the Trump presidency. Now, listen to me, listen to me as your brother in this MAGA fight.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I understand it's frustrating. I get it. And we are going to lose some. You are going to get federal judges out there acting as politicians appointed by liberals who just make up the law. It's going to happen. And you're going to see it even at the appellate level.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Heck, you may even see a few of them at the Supreme Court dropping an L. The point is, if they sue 100 times and we win 90, we can go back for the other 10 later. They are setting themselves up for a major trap. And folks, the Rock'em Sock'em Robots presidency is just not stopping.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
There's a I'm just usually when I put out the political playbook early, you know, early email, I'll give you kind of a piece from it. The headline alone, though, this morning, I'm going to read it to you and I'm going to take a quick break. I'm going to tell you why this is so important. Another thing that's happening where I believe the left walked themselves into a cancel culture trap.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
And Donald Trump put up that headline, if you would, even playbook this morning. Left wing political playbook is starting to acknowledge again. how Trump is canceling cancel culture. I want you to think folks in the chat, get ahead of this. I want you to think here's where I'm going to go with this.

Remember the dancing man video, the guy who gets up and dances, everybody's laughing at him like he's crazy. And then the other person gets up and dances with him. And then the whole crowd is dancing. I want you to think about how that ties to this, how Donald Trump is just almost in a month or two, just totally obliterated cancel culture. Folks, moink.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
You want some high-quality, delicious-tasting meat that supports American farmers? The meat is absolutely fantastic. They sent me a freezer full of this stuff. It said the four companies control over 80% of the U.S. meat industry. Many reports say China controls the largest portion of U.S. pork.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
They're using tactics to crush American family farms, and with the additives they're putting in our food, Americans are stuck with sketchy meat. You don't want that. Let me tell you about a company that's coming up swinging on behalf of American Family Farms and your family's food security. Moink, M-O-I-N-K. Moink's meat comes from animals raised outdoors.
The Dan Bongino Show

They deliver meat straight to your doorstep at prices you can actually afford. Born, raised, and harvested right here in the USA. They sent me some. It was absolutely delicious steak. I put a little Pittsburgh on it, like a little crust on it. You can really taste the difference in quality. It's making a really big difference in meals for my family. Everything tastes incredible.

Here's what I'm talking about with this Politico playbook headline. Folks, Donald Trump has hit them with so much stuff so fast. Again, I don't care what you call it. Rock them, sock them robots, flood the zone. It doesn't matter. He has taken my advice and the advice of many others. I'm not the only one where we said to him before the election. Remember, you guys were here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
If you win, you've got about 100 days where you can push through dramatic change of the government before the left gets their sea legs. They didn't need it from me. They already knew from 2016. But it is working. And one of the things he's done is he has largely ignored media criticisms of people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
The political playbook thing this morning, the gist of it, is Donald Trump has appointed a bunch of change agents. You know, some of them in the past... because they were loud or passionate or really hardcore conservatives, the media would have went after him and said, oh, my gosh, this guy's controversial. They're not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
But the media would have made it up and past Republicans would have let them go. Playbook mentions a few names of people you may know, you may not. He's like Donald Trump's take was we like this guy. He's a conservative. He's a MAGA guy. He's a patriot. You know, maybe they made mistakes in the past. Maybe they didn't. But we're not letting them go no matter what.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
They are not letting the administration, Mike Flynn people this time, General Flynn, they're not letting it happen. And what's starting to happen is the media is realizing that the more time they waste on one person, like, oh, my gosh, we're going to get rid of Pete Hegseth. Well, that didn't happen. Now we got to move on to RFK. Well, that didn't happen. Now we're going to move on to Tulsi.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
That Donald Trump is not going to fold. And as each person gets up and dances, Pete, Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Ratcliffe, Kash Patel, hopefully this week, what's happening is you're now becoming the minority because there's no one left sitting down laughing at the person dancing. They're all dancing with you. You saw it this weekend at Daytona. Let me tie it back to the beginning of the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)

Republican presidents in the past really weren't that popular, folks. Let's be honest. Maybe Reagan was, but, you know, George W., even candidates like Romney, even McCain, they get booed at big pop culture events like this. Not now. Donald Trump has everybody dancing with him, and the left has become castrated.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
They just don't have any narrative-enforcing powers anymore because they've lost the power of snapshots and soundbites. Why? I played to you Margaret Brennan in the beginning. I mean, just a tragically stupid clip. Her even making and implying that free speech has anything to do with the Holocaust is so obscene of a statement. And to watch the media
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
CBS embarrassed themselves with people like Margaret Brennan on the air. I'm not suggesting anybody get fired. I don't care, folks. Boycott, don't boycott. It's up to you. I don't care. This stuff actually makes for great show content to show you what not to do. CBS, it didn't end there. I'm sitting there last night. We had a really long weekend. I had taken my daughter to her party.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I didn't get into it in a weekend update because, you know, it was just a pretty good birthday party. You know who I ran into, by the way? This is so crazy. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get off track, guys, but... I took my daughter. It was not to Disney. It was to, I don't go to Disney, but it was to a different park. And I'm in the park and I've got my daughter and her friends.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
So it's me and my wife watching basically seven 13 year olds. I hear Bongino. And I think it's, I don't know, someone who watches the show, watch Fox. We had a lot of supporters there. I said, hello. It was Vivek Ramaswamy. I'm like, what the hell are the chances I run into you right here? So, but we can get back to it. But I was tired this weekend because it was a long day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
It was like a three-hour ride coming back and forth. So I'm sitting upstairs in my little TV room thing, whatever, with Paula. And I'm watching 61 Minutes last night. And this segment, folks, is, I'm really stunned at what I'm watching. So you got Margaret Brennan attacking free speech on CBS in the morning. And in the night, CBS runs a segment on 61 Minutes. This actually happened.

Where they do a ride-along with the German police. This is, even Guy's like, this is what, they do a ride along with the German police who are going out to arrest people for Orwellian wrong think speech because they said something people don't like on social media. No, yes, this actually happened. And CBS is like proud of it. Check this out.

This is unbelievable. This actually happened. The media in the United States is the one specific entity in the Bill of Rights mentioned that has its own particular carve out. Freedom of the press is specifically mentioned. And yet they take this freedom to run a segment earlier in the day about how free speech may have had some role in the Holocaust.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
And a segment at night celebrating that the media and their government benefactors now get to determine what the truth is. And if you're on the wrong side of the truth, you're going to go to jail. And CBS, by implication here, thinks this is somehow some beneficial thing you need to hear about? Instead of to condemn it? Folks, Bongino Army in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
What's the problem with a government media interpretation of the truth? Any ideas? Folks, the government is typically, yes, you guys are right there. The government is typically on the wrong side of the truth. You remember what happened with COVID? Did CBS forget all this? Governments and world bureaucracies like the WHO, you know, the COVID didn't leak from the lab. You mean the COVID lab? Yes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
So you get censorship. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Folks, it is totally, completely out of line and out of bounds for the government to declare what the truth is on matters where, one, the facts aren't all in, the Bongino rule, and where the truth is a subjective opinion. How many people told us it was the truth that the vaccine was going to prevent COVID?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
You know how many people may have died because of the government truth that vaccines prevent the spread of COVID? You know how many people who were immunocompromised, may have wore a mask, got vaccinated, went out, caught COVID and died because they believed the government? You notice how the government doesn't go to jail for lying to you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
You only go to jail for stating an opinion the government doesn't like. CBS should be embarrassed. Folks, we are in a dark, dark time. The good news is Donald Trump has got a flashlight and we're getting out. It's slow. It's not going to happen overnight. But they've got to continue with this flood the zone, rock them, sock them robot strategy. Do not let them get their sea legs.

Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Because you see what happens when they do. You get German anti-free speech laws. What could possibly go wrong? All right. I warned you about this, folks. I warned you about this a couple of weeks ago. Again, receipts incoming. This is the receipt show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I warned you about how the doge, once it started digging in, Elon and President Trump's doge, once it started digging in to significant spending cuts. Because there's a massive amount of waste that people were going to start to object from the Republican side, too. Who was right? This guy. Receipts incoming. Stay tuned. Last break.

Hey, during tax season, your sensitive info does a lot of traveling to places you can't control. Stopping off at payroll, your accountant, a tax preparer, and countless other data centers on the way to the IRS. Any of them can expose you to identity theft because they all have the info on your W-2, which is just a ticket for the bad guys to steal your identity. It happened to me.

that the swamp is not just Democrats. It is, I know you know that, but there were a lot of swampy Republicans as well. And they're motivated by the retention of power. You've got a congressional seat or a Senate seat. Your motivation often, not all the time, there are some good guys out there who've taken principled stands. Your motivation is stay in power first, do the right thing second.

When you're a statesman and not a politician, your role is, you know, it's the opposite. Do the right thing first, stay in power second.

Folks, weapons systems in specific districts, even if they don't work and don't contribute to our military lethality and readiness, people are going to protect them because, hey, it's in my district. That's not a statesman decision. That's a parochial decision. And they quote,

long story, but our good friend, producer, Jim from the radio show, ladies and gentlemen, let's just in advance, send him our love and prayers. He did have a pretty serious accident. I'm not kidding.

From the Daughtry Tweet, some parts of the military are preparing lists of weapons they've long wanted to cancel but couldn't get past lawmakers seeking to protect spending in their districts. What did I tell you? A decade plus in the government, I learned this the hard way.

Do you have any idea how many times I asked in my prior line of work as an agent, why the hell are we putting in our man hours into a database system from like the 70s or 80s?

It could be the manually inputting hours into a thing that had already been inputted by a supervisor on a schedule. He's like, I believe this is how the government prides itself on inefficiency. But this is the kicker. That doesn't surprise you that I did that. I've told Guy and the guys the story.

The reason they didn't get rid of the old system that was told to me many times was because they didn't want to basically hurt the feelings of the guy who invented the system or brought in.

I wrote it down because I didn't want to miss this. Folks, everyone is going to sacrifice something if we are going to save the republic. There is a bright, bright future.

If you are a member of Congress or elsewhere, and you're planning on getting in the way of a military weapons system nobody wants, but you want it because it's helping you get reelected, that is not a statesman thing to do.

You know, blue state Republicans are going to want that too. You can't have the whole thing. There's going to be all kinds of tax carve-outs for businesses that are going to go away.

You want big government change? It's going to require big courage. And a lot of these lawmakers, they just don't have it.

Talking about massive fraud, potentially in the trillions, in our entitlement programs between Social Security, people getting it who aren't entitled to it, pun intended, Medicaid, Medicare, trillions of dollars in potential fraud there.

Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Folks, there are massive amounts of fraud. I'm applying the Bongino rule to a lot of this because there's going to be some things that look like fraud that aren't because government databases are so poorly kept. But there's going to be other massive instances of fraud in these programs. Ladies and gentlemen, the government doesn't have any real incentive to clean up its payment system.

It's Milton Friedman's fourth way to spend money. The worst way to spend money is the fourth way. You have tons of it. You can spend your own money on yourself.

I got a lot more show for you today, including Rachel Maddow promoting another hoax, folks. I mean, this woman's record of factual inaccuracies is just incredible.

You acting as well like Donald Trump has no authority to control payouts the United States government makes within the executive branch is like suggesting a CEO has no authority to fire people within Ford Motor Company.

The Dan Bongino Show

Is that the argument you're going with? So just to be clear, we find out someone within the United States government has been stealing money and fraudulently paying out money to political cronies.

That's Donald Trump. That's Barack Obama. It sounds like he's saying the exact same thing Trump did. The difference is, you know, I'm going to tell you for one of the few times, Barack Obama is actually correct. The president of the United States does clearly have the power in the executive branch to weed out waste, fraud, government abuse, criminality, corruption.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
He absolutely, you guys okay over there? He absolutely has that, but he was knocked over the desk. That's that power. Now, the government doesn't have the power within the executive branch.

But clearly they can manage the executive branch. You see why it's so easy to be a conservative? When you're consistent, Obama's right. He had the power to do that.

She sells the car on the free market and it takes the proceeds she earned and then gives it to NPR, who then will hopefully not need taxpayer money because she can support herself.

Maybe everybody sells their cars and donates their money to NPR because they like the product. Whatever if you're a lefty. And then she takes an EV car she's supposed to support, puts it back on the market and gets rid of it. What's she going to do? Buy a gas car now?

There is nothing better than this guy with snapshots and sound bites keeping everybody so off kilter. that they self-own themselves and think it's a big W posting it to the interwebs. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in on this President's Day. It's good to be here with you, a little smaller crowd, probably a vacation day and stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I guess a lot of people probably not at work today, but I hope you enjoy yourself on this day, on President's Day. Have a good time. Everybody wish producer Jim the best. He's at JJ Verdi on X and True Social, JJ, V-E-R-D-I. He really needs it. He took a beating this weekend, and we don't want him to get dead. That's the number one rule of the Bongino Show. Love you guys.

You just heard the Dan Bongino Show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Here's Donald Trump, as you can see, flying over with Air Force One. This is just... Again, the snapshots of this are just, they become iconic quickly. You've got a crowd of Donald Trump supporters cheering as this beautiful plane that represents the United States of America and the presidency flies over. Snapshots. Do not underestimate this stuff. If you do, you're making a big mistake.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
One of the reasons Barack Obama had such political success on the other side of the aisle is him and his team understood the whole branding exercise. You remember that poster, the multicolored, hope-y, change-y poster? Everybody remembers it. What was that? The answer is nobody knows, but the left loved it. It helped build this brand. Like, look at this guy. He's bigger and larger than life.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Oh my gosh, build your brand. But politics is no different. The way you build a narrative around yourself, like the media has been building around liberalism forever, is by pictures and quick soundbites. Why am I bringing this up at the beginning of the show? Because this weekend with President Trump was just an epic masterclass in the snapshots portion of that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Here's another one. Donald Trump with the limo. I give up. Everybody calls it. If you want to call it the beast, I'm just telling you we in the Secret Service think it's hilarious you call it the beast, but... Oh, did she at the chat? Thank you, chatsters. But I'm just going to tell you, very rarely do I concede that I've just lost.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
So many people in the media and everywhere else just call it the beast that I don't even think it matters anymore that we think it's funny in the Secret Service. We do. If you ever meet an agent on the president's detail or on the transportation section and ask them, do you guys call it the beast? They're going to laugh, but whatever. Everybody seems to think it's funny. And so I give up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I'm done with that argument. I saw a ton of people this weekend tweeting to me, and I love you for it. I mean it. Dan, they're calling it the beast. I give up. I'm done. It's out of fun. It's not a fight worth fighting. Here's one more for you. This is Donald Trump and his incredible, unbelievable respect for our military. Here he is exiting Marine One. And look what he does.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
If you've seen this, if you listen on Apple and Spotify, he's stopping at the Marines there. Heroes, patriots, makes a point to stop. Turns to his right. I think he exchanges a challenge coin. It looks like that's what he was doing right there. The Marine goes up to the other Marine, gives him a pat on the shoulder, thanks him. This is just who Donald Trump is, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I'm not suggesting to you, by the way, that that last part at all in any way is part of a branding exercise. That isn't. That's genuinely who Donald Trump is. When you talk to him one on one, he loves our military and police officers. He just does. You can't fake how he talks about him. And it's just so genuine.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
But, you know, these other things like the limo and Air Force One, these are really, really smart political exercises done to build a brand around you. Don't forget the snapshots and soundbites rule, folks. If you forfeit that part of politics, you're making a huge mistake. So this happened this weekend. Have we ever, ever been so out in front of a media story?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Have we ever been as out in front as we have with the Margaret Brandon story? This woman came out of nowhere. Michael, wouldn't you agree? We do this stuff. He does a Vita show too. Folks, let's be honest. 10, 12 weeks ago, three months ago, four months ago, six months ago, how many people really knew who Margaret Brennan was?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I mean, even if you follow the media, you're like, wait, isn't she the CBS anchor in the weekend or something? But it doesn't come to mind right away. You know, there are people we don't like in the media, but you mentioned a name and we instantly know who they are for all the wrong reasons. Acosta, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow. Nobody goes, my gosh, who's that? Margaret Brennan came out of nowhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Nobody had ever heard of this woman. She had no, I think significant media footprint to speak of. She fires out of the gate, gets wrecked by Tom Homan, J.D. Vance, humiliates herself over and over again. You would think on the weekend show, she has Marco Rubio on this weekend, that seriously, there would be some semblance of sanity like, hey, I've had a really bad run.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
It's time to kind of get back to baseline and start doing basic media work like speaking in facts. And what does she do?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Folks, she drops the equivalent of a media nuclear bomb on the weekend, suggesting that free speech, in other words, the ability of people to exercise their thoughts via speech without the threat of the government putting them in jail, that free speech was somehow had a role in the Holocaust. This is maybe the craziest thing a mainstream air quotes media person has said on the air in eons.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
This guy knows what he's doing, folks. Nothing's done by mistake. That, and man, did we not call it with Mags? Who am I talking about? Anyone in the chat know? Margaret Brennan at CBS is, I cannot believe the amount of training she's putting into the Dopey Media Talking Head Olympics. She gets the bronze in record time. Folks, she's ready to move into silver, I think, quick.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
You know what? How do you even answer that? I really do applaud Secretary Rubio for attempting to talk sense into what is such an insane thing to say that he must have been there. He must have been sitting there in a chair because when you're doing these hits, you're sometimes you're alone in these studios. There's no one around.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
And he must be looking around someone else like, did I hear that correctly? How do you even answer it? Michael said he just sort of responded like, JD, you know, I don't really care, Margaret. Like what you just said is so crazy. I have no answer for that. Let's just move on to the next question. Hopefully it's less crazy than what you just said. Folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I don't want to get into a long logic argument, but if you've ever taken a class in statistics or logic, when you're suggesting two variables are related, free speech caused the deaths in the Holocaust of millions of Jews, big statements like that require what, fellas? Someone in the chat, tell me. Big statements require what? Someone got to get this first. What about book burnings?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I know you guys will figure this out. Come on, chat folks. You guys got this. Someone say it. All right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yes. Matthias Powerbomb. Big evidence. You're damn right. I'm going to make a big statement like, hey, man, listen, there are massive powerful beings on Jupiter getting ready to annihilate the Earth. You better freaking produce some big evidence to back that up, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Big evidence. Receipts. Yeah, same thing. Big receipts. Same. You guys get it. I love you guys in the chat, ladies. You're so on the ball. You're going to make a big statement like that. You better produce something. Folks, there is correlation and causation in variables. You know, people get more colds in the winter. They are correlated. They're not causal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
It doesn't mean that the cold weather causes colds. It doesn't. Your nasal passages are just more dry, and people touch them more, transmitting bacteria and viruses to their nose. It's not the cold weather that does it. Everybody who jumped in a cold plunge would be sick every day. Am I really explaining this? This is so obscene of a statement.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Free speech was one of the causes of Nazism and the Holocaust? This is... This is so sociopathic and insane that you wonder like how there's even 30% of the culture left that even takes the media seriously anymore. 70% of people I saw in a poll don't listen to the media. Who are the other 30%? Folks, you know, we are the media now. I can't say that to you enough.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
And I say it because that is a big statement, but it does have big evidence. And big evidence is this. This show has the biggest live stream audience in the United States by far. When you combine us, Bannon, Charlie, Shapiro, the other right-wing shows out there, Mark Levin and others, we are the media now because we have a reputation for producing receipts. We just do. I said to you...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
About three weeks ago, when the lawfare started, when the Democrats started suing Donald Trump over every EO and everything he did, that the Democrats were walking into a trap. I wasn't trying to be... you know, faux excited about it. You know, sometimes you get kicked in the nads and you're like, that didn't hurt. Oh, and you're dying on the ground. You want to pretend you got one over?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
I'm not ready to make that bold of a decision yet. But in case you missed what happened this weekend, we had the worst Margaret Brennan CBS moment ever. You've got CBS defending German crackdowns on free speech. And then you've got Margaret Brennan on CBS basically suggesting or implying that the Holocaust was caused by free speech. Is that for real? Did you really say that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
That's not what I'm doing here. The Democrats are seriously walking in a trap because of two reasons with all these lawsuits. I hate to kind of relitigate this, but it's important because this next clip, you're going to see I was right. The Democrats are even starting to realize they're walking in a trap.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
Number one, Donald Trump is getting paid to toss, not just shake the apple cart, but toss it over. He's paid to be president, execute, and fix the mess. He can sit here and do this all day at no cost to you whatsoever, only a benefit, because that's what he's paid to do. The left has to pay. Legal teams, lawyers, time, money, they have to pay every single time they sue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
So Donald Trump is suffering no loss here at all, money-wise or time-wise. The left is taking a huge opportunity cost of their time. Number two, they are going to lose a good number of these lawsuits. And as they lose... And the courts say Donald Trump can do X. Donald Trump can do G. Donald Trump can do Y. Donald Trump can do B. It is going to solidify the power of the presidency.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
They are going to lose. This clip's a little long. It's about a minute and 20. I try to keep it a minute. But the extra 20 seconds are worth your time. This is a Democrat strategist. And I know this guy from Fox. He does a lot of hits on Fox. He's he's he's a pretty strong Democrat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Cancelling DEI And Cancel Culture (Ep. 2424)
He's not like one of these kind of like Carville Democrats who sometimes he's a pretty strong, like left leaning guy. Here is Julian Epstein on Fox telling you the same thing I told you last week. Do not panic over these lawsuits. The Democrats are walking right in a trap on this. Check this out.

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
This is where I did an interview with Julie Kelly on Thursday. On the radio show. And I want to be clear, don't get caught up in the euphemisms game, okay? FBI assets and agents are not the same thing. Michael could be working for the FBI as a paid source, a confidential human source. Doesn't mean he's an FBI agent.

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Agents are actual GS 1811 gun carrying agents who are working in an undercover past capacity, like a Donnie Brasco, the Joe Pistone guy. Okay. That was an agent. So the FBI is trying to lose people in the, but I'm telling you both were in the crowd agents and assets. The report now misses agents. admits forever, however, that there were FBI sources in the crowd.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Town Hall put up a great tweet, and they wonder why legacy media is dying. This is why people like Stuart Thompson, nobody's going to pay attention to them anymore. Here's what the FBI told you. The FBI did not send undercover operatives to join the June 6th attack, Watchdog says. That is not what the report says. The report says there were FBI assets in the crowd. Reuters here. Politico too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
FBI didn't deploy undercover agents on January 6th. Watchdog finds undercutting conspiracy. It did no such thing. It did no such thing. I'm telling you they were there in the crowd. Here, here they were. Probe finds no evidence. Feds were involved in inciting January 6th. They found a ton of evidence. There were three FBI assets in the crowd. There were actually, what is it, 26?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Three of them that went into the Capitol. Here's how CNN reports on it. No undercover FBI agents were at the January 6th U.S. Capitol riot. I'm telling you, this story is bullshit. You are ahead of it. It's absolute bullshit, folks. I'm telling you right now, they are lying to you. Now, I want you to watch this. This video from Kash Patel is really important.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Kash is going to be the incoming FBI director if the confirmation process continues to go smoothly, which knock on wood, so far has. I'm going to get presumptuous, but... Here's the interesting part about this. This is what people like Stuart Thompson and New York Times will never cover.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Now that we know there were 20 plus FBI assets in the crowd, some there with the permission of the FBI, that's in the report. I'm telling you there were agents in the crowd, period. Don't put the reports bullshit. I'm telling you for a fact. These assets take a while to cultivate. They had to be working on this for a long time. Again, I'm giving you an honest take on January 6th. No one else's.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
What the hell were they doing? These assets that the FBI knew were in the crowd on January 6th. What was their role there? They had to have a job. The FBI positioned them there for a reason. But the report is oddly kind of opaque on that. Were they there to incite a riot?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Listen to Kash Patel here on Tim Pool saying exactly this, that this takes a while to cultivate because this story isn't adding up. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Yes, the FBI's got documents, folks. When you develop and cultivate an informant, you typically have to pay them. I did this federal agent work for a decade plus. There's paperwork generated. There's debriefing paperwork generated. What exactly were the informant's mission on January 6th? Why doesn't Stuart Thompson or anyone else seem even a little bit interested in this story?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Make the switch today. PatriotMobile.com slash Dan. That's PatriotMobile.com slash Dan or call 972-PATRIOT. All right, fellas. Let's go. So first... We had the blowout this weekend. And, folks, this party I was going to do, there was actually a lot going on. I was a little nervous last week because we did it at my house, the house I just moved into. The guys saw it for the first time. And...
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
I promise you, if it was a left-wing BLM riot or some COINTELPRO thing, these people would be all over the story. I got more on this, folks, because the legacy media, I'm telling you, man, these guys just don't get it. That's why they're so afraid of cash going in there. Always measure the response. Measure the effectiveness of a policy or anything else by what? The show is about tactics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
If your political opponents are not freaking out, you're doing it wrong. You're doing it wrong. Quick break, I'll show you what I mean. You feeling the stress about giving your family a memorable holiday? Well, you're not alone. Prices remain higher than ever. A lot of us are maxing out on our credit cards. Now's the perfect time to take control of your finances and pay off that debt.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
If you're a homeowner, American financing can help you unlock the equity in your home and start saving. The customers save $800 a month on average. Just imagine what that could mean for your family. Plus, if you act now, you could even delay two mortgage payments, giving you extra cash for the season. Wouldn't it be nice to start off the new year without that debt?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
And those monthly minimum payments cost you nothing to find out how much you can save. Holidays will be here before you know it. So call one of their salary-based mortgage consultants today. American Financing. They've been with me a long time. It's a good company. Call now. 888-994-7660. The number? 888-994-7660. Or you can visit them online.

AmericanFinancing.net. AmericanFinancing.net. NMLS12334. NMLSConsumerAccess.org. Thank you, American Financing. Folks. They are terrified about Kash Patel. Politico is telling you right now, please don't put this guy in there because of what you just heard from Kash Patel in the Tim Pool interview, which is a great interview. I suggest you watch it. It's a little old, but it's not dated at all.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
The difference between old and dated. He understands how this entire process, having been an attorney for the government on the law enforcement and defense side, how cultivating informants works. What the hell? Here's the question. Everybody write it down. Folks in the chat, spread the word on this. This is the only question you should have right now after the IG report on Friday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
What was the mission of the FBI informants in that crowd? What? What was the mission? Intelligence gathering? On who? It was a perfectly legal assembly. By the way, it's a constitutional right to assemble. What was their purpose in the crowd? You should worry about Kash Patel running the FBI. You should worry. No, you shouldn't worry. Politico's worried. This is their headline.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
The days of J. Edgar Hoover may be over, but Kash Patel's nomination is deeply worrisome all the same. Folks, rocks are going to get turned over. And there's a couple of things you need to know right now. You need to know what the hell the mission was of the informants in the crowd that day. And you also need to know the identity of who the January 6th bomber was.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
We spent a lot of time in that story. I've got a lot to get to today. So I'm going to pass on that today. But you know I'm staying on top of that too. That story is going to blow your mind.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
I saw this tweet this weekend, too, and I thought it was interesting because it applies to that other, you know, the New York Times hit piece, which is just a regurgitation of the same hit piece written over and over again. You ever notice they never write these hit pieces about any other platforms? If you have conservatives on your platform, they will write a hit piece.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
If you have a bunch of liberals on your platform, they absolutely love you. There's nothing you can say wrong. This John LaFever guy writes, hey, look at your circle of family and friends and compare people who use X as a news source versus those who don't. The contrast is stark.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
My friends and family who don't use X are significantly less informed and prone to parodying media, propaganda, misinformation. Amen. Preach it. John Lefevre. This guy is so right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Folks in the chat, if you notice this too, you ever go to a party or Christmas party or a birthday party, some cocktail party, a work party, whatever, and you get into a conversation with some crazy liberal or even a not so crazy liberal, but a definitely not MAGA person. And some of the stuff they say, I'll give you an example. I was at an event not that long ago, guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Remember when Trump said that thing about injecting bleach? And ordinarily I'd be like, oh my gosh, I'm just out of here because I can't take it. And I want to talk politics sometimes during the weekend because I just like I know I'm going to lose it. I had to say, who told you that? No, I heard it. They actually believe they heard this shit. They actually believe it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
The thing about the house is most of the party, because we couldn't fit everyone inside the house. We didn't expect 250 people to show up, but they did. We had like two cancellations. That was it. At the end, we couldn't fit everybody in my house if it rained. And as Justin and Michael's now figuring out, Justin's been here his whole life.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
It's what happens when you're embedded and immersed in a bath of bullshit, misinformation, and disinformation all day. It becomes like osmosis. It seeps into your body, becomes like part of your DNA, and you believe it actually happened. Yeah, that's another one. They think Trump's never going to leave office. He's going to run for seven more terms.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Trump's going to declare martial law and the military's going to start taking over. They believe this stuff. If you read X and you're on X every day where you're getting a healthy diet of kind of both sides, you start to fish through because, you know, listen, I'm not telling you every single thing that comes out of our sides. We get people on our side who spread stuff too. That's bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
But you eventually learn after reading a lot of this material what's correct, what's crazy. Transitioning here, you get that? You see where I'm going with this? Because the transition, by the way, is like nothing I've ever seen before. Folks, this Trump transition is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Do you guys know what I mean? Have you guys ever seen anything like this?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
It's almost like there is no transition. You get where I'm going with this? All the executive power is still obviously embedded in the White House with oatmeal brains. I mean, he's still the president, can sign executive orders, controls the DOJ, executive branch of government, can veto bills. He still has all the powers of the presidency. It's the way it works.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
But have you ever seen a transition like this where the president right now has no political oomph at all? His political bank account, I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about his political capital, is absolutely zero. Folks, I saw a similar but not equal situation with the Bush-Obama transition. When McCain got smoked, I was working in the White House at the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
and the staffers the last month or so, I mean, it was like a funeral every day. No one wanted to hire them. Bush had very little political power. But I think he was still doing fundraisers and stuff up until the end, I mean, for Republican cause, if I remember correctly. I mean, he didn't have zero political oomph at all. I've never seen a situation where,
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
where the incoming president-elect has all the political power. All of these leaders around the world visiting. We had this pledge for a $100 billion investment into the United States by this bank. It's just crazy. All the political power seems to lie with Trump. Here's what I mean. Here's more proof. Trump has no executive power at all. He's not the president for another 30 days or so, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
With Florida, if it says 0% chance of rain, that means 50-50. Does it not? Florida, folks, it's the sunshine state, but it can rain any time for any reason. It'll typically stop. So we had to make a decision about the tent on Wednesday because we had to tent the whole property. And we said no.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Hostage deals already getting negotiated? I mean, this is a good thing. I love it. But I'm a little worried if some national security incident happens over the holidays that we don't have a guy in charge that's going to be able to make any executive decisions right now. Look, all the political powers with Donald Trump. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show

You know, it reminds me of that movie Seven. Remember I say it all the time. Movie Seven. I love that movie with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt with the serial killer. And the guy looks out of it. Have you ever seen it? Have you ever seen anything like this? The sitting president right now has no political power at all. Business deals, hostage deals, trade deals, national security deals.

Trump has stolen all of his political capital. It's a beautiful thing to watch because he's so patently ineffective. However, having said that, Biden still has all of the trappings of the office. This story I'm going to read for you next out of the New York Post is really pretty devastating. Because it shows you how much damage this guy can do, even with basically a month or so left.

I'm talking about Joe Biden, obviously. What's going on with the—I hate teasers. What's going on with the border wall? We have a bunch of equipment and metal over there and steel. to establish this border wall. What's happening with it with Biden is such a double barrel to America.

The courses are amazing. Highly recommend it. All right, back to the show. Folks, it's New York Post story. If this isn't a kick in the Johnson, I don't know what is here. So here's the damage. Because Biden has no political power and he has no political capital, he's leaving office bitter and angry when he can remember who he is, which is rare. So he's eager to give you the double barrel.

The materials are being transported to an air park in Arizona where it's being sold to GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus with bidding started just $5.

Some rich billionaire out there should go out and buy this stuff for the $5 and then donate it back to the government so Donald Trump can get his border wall built without the taxpayers.

He's trying to make building a border wall and keeping the United States really, really hard. He wants to make sure, unlike Stuart Thompson, doesn't want to acknowledge it's having sex traffickers. Biden wants to make sure sex traffickers have an easy time and no border wall.

Drug dealers, terrorists, human smugglers. This is what Joe Biden's doing. Joe Biden will go down, I promise you, when this is all done, as the worst president in modern U.S. history. There will be no parallel. I don't even think you can possibly be as bad as this guy. This guy makes Obama look like the Ronald Reagan of the right. This guy is a total train wreck. He wants to hurt you.

He wants to make sure the country is in a world of hurt. I know Stuart's like, oh my gosh, they're stoking outrage. Stuart's not outraged. about Joe Biden selling off the border while you bought because Stuart Thompson, these guys at the New York times, this is the kind of stuff they're ideologically behind.

People get generally, what, like a 10% drop, guys, around the holidays or something? It's all across the board. There's nothing you can do about it. Unless there's some major breaking news story. And, you know, that's fine, right? Joe Biden's White House knows that. They know people's eyeballs are distracted. Just watch. I guarantee you this guy's not done with all the damage he's going to cause.

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
So I want to throw this out there. I want to just talk about this drone story because, again, because nobody trusts Stuart Thompson or the Biden administration, this drone UAP story has morphed into something crazy at this point. Nobody knows what to believe anymore. I'm an Occam's razor guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
I would love to believe it is just a couple of recreational drone club guys playing with a drone hovering above. I would love to believe that. The problem I'm having with this, folks, is because the government is such shit and the New York Times and Washington Post are such purveyors of misinformation. that they won't just tell us or state the obvious, says to me something's going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
There are a bunch of theories out there. I'm not going to call them conspiracy theories because that's always used as a pejorative. And I'm not willing to discount anything. But Walter Kern, I follow on Twitter, he said, the drones in New Jersey may be looking for a very serious weapon. Good source. I don't know that to be true at all. I just want to put that out in advance. I've not heard that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
It doesn't mean it's true or untrue. It just means I haven't heard it. I'm just telling you it's out there. I don't know, folks. I have a theory on this, too. I think it aligns with.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Homan Jenkins at The Wall Street Journal has been writing about this often, that this may in fact be foreign governments doing what foreign governments do, like China did with the spy balloon, which is they're just trying to surveil sensitive locations in the United States. It seems to be the Occam's razor solution. It requires you to assume the least.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
if the drones were looking for, say, a nuclear weapon that was smuggled into the United States, it requires you to assume that a nuclear weapon was smuggled into the United States. Not impossible. I'm not telling you it didn't happen. I want to be careful. I'm not telling you it didn't happen. I'm just telling you when I don't know something, I always go with the simplest explanation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
And Jenkins seems pretty legit. The theory is that These foreign governments are surveilling sensitive locations with drone technology, and we don't know what to do with it. The military doesn't want to shoot it down because it's going to land somewhere, and nobody knows how to tell the public we can't secure the airspace.

Folks, tell me in the chat, because I'm really... Guys, watch the chat, because I want to see... What do you think happened? You think that that theory is crazy? Because to me, that seems like the Occam's razor one. Here's why I say it too. I want you to watch this. I interviewed my orcas this weekend. They are DHS secretary in name only. Who's a total joke of a human being.

This guy's a gross corrupt the crap. I can't stand them, but I've got, they're not long clips. They're about a minute each, but first let's, He tries to tell Wolf Blitzer on CNN how these things, they're sure they're not a threat, but then isn't sure what they, this is what I understand. How do you know they're not a threat if you don't know what they are?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
It's like looking at some fancy weapon you've never seen before. Oh, that's not a threat. What is it? Yeah, I don't know. Well, how the hell do you know it's not a threat? Listen to part one. And in the second part, I think you're going to see my theory about them not knowing how to get these things out of the sky and that they're foreign is right. But listen to part one first. No threat, folks.

Okay, so I'm reading. Hold on. I'm going to get on the microphone. I have the worst microphone habits at all. I'm really sorry about that. A lot of people are saying this is like some government psyop that they're looking for extra drone authority, which, you know, ordinarily I'd say I'm not so sure. You may be right.

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
That could very well be the government putting these up there to get a media story out there so everybody panics and they go, oh, look, we need authority over the sky. Shut it down. Possible. Possible. However, here's the only reason, and listen, hit me hard all you want. It's fine, whatever. I'm just putting a theory out there. The only reason... I'm not telling you that's not true.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
I'm just saying the only reason I would doubt that story a little bit is because it's reflecting now really poorly on Joe Biden and Mayorkas. The media coverage, folks, has not been friendly, even from the left. I mean, what was it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Even the Wall Street Journal, which is kind of center-right but can lean left at times, was like, hey, listen, man, nobody believes you guys anymore about anything, and this drone thing is just another example of the government lying to us. So even kind of like center-right and left-wing outlets have been beating them up
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
So you would think at some point they would come out and just say like, hey, this was one of ours and just basically make up a reason. The only reason I doubt it a little bit, I'm not telling you wrong, so jump down my throat all you want, but I'm just saying. I think it's foreign. And I think it's very simple. It's surveillance. And the reason I say that is... They've already done it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
The China spy balloon thing was real. It happened. The Chinese drones around military bases right now is a very real threat. We're pretty sure it's happening right now. I want you to listen to the second part of this, a little shorter. Here's Mayorkas, and he says something at the end. I told you this last week. I'm not wasting your time here. Think of it as a use of force policy against drones.

Folks, nobody knows what to do. Do you fry it? Some of these things are big. If you fry it with some of the technology, where does it land?

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Yes! Yes! Did you hear it? Folks, I'm telling you, I am almost certain I'm right on this. You're giving the government way too much credit. Just like everybody gave the Secret Service all this credit, and they were like, how'd a guy get on the roof and shoot the president in the head? Don't they have like a special infrared camera? They could have, they just didn't use it.

No, Justin said it right. It was definitely the slope of the roof was too much. It was hot. It was a You're giving the government too much credit. Somebody is sitting around that room. Yes, I get it. I've received a thousand emails. I know there's technology to take it down. They can't figure out how to use it without taking a damn thing down and having it land on a house. And then what happens?

But now I do. And that was me and Paula in the backyard. singing Chasing You by Morgan Wallen to each other at the end of the night with my cousin Chrissy looking on.

The locals show up. They may take custody of the drone. And then you're going to find out what? Holy shit, this is an Iranian or Chinese drone? You get it? He's admitting it. Did you guys hear that at the end? I'm not crazy, right? He's like, well, you know, it's very dangerous to take these things down. And then he's asked about, hey, do you have the authority to do it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Well, he doesn't even seem to know. Don't assume the government has any competence at all. Here is the best lesson out of this entire thing. Treat the government like you would your 7- or 8-year-old. Not your 6-year-old, not your 13-year-old. The 6-year-old, maybe there's a little bit of self-awareness. 13, they start to get it.

7 or 8, where they know a little bit, but not enough to know much, that's the government. They just don't know what to do. This is the, I just want to throw this in there because Wolf Blitzer references a New Jersey state senator. Here is that senator. This kind of went viral this weekend. He says he's suspicious that there may be a larger threat here at work.

Folks, I don't know that, you know, unlike jerkwad Stuart Tubbs, like, okay, Gary, I don't talk about stuff I don't know, so I'm not going to get everybody all panicked about something, about a nuclear weapon, because I have no evidence of that at all. But, you know, these people may. This guy says he was at a briefing or whatever, and they look like they really want to hide something.

Folks, nobody trusts these people anymore. Nobody, not the media, not the government. And they've done so poorly on this story that really Joe Biden, who couldn't have any less political capital, I just got done telling you, like I said, I structured the show this way for a reason, that this is the oddest transition I've ever seen because you effectively have a de facto and a de jure president.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Biden's the de jure president, but Trump is the de facto president. And I've never seen a transition like this, even with the Obama-Bush thing, where Bush never gave up his political capital, even to the end. Even when other people told me he didn't have any, he was like, I'm the president. I'll do what the hell I want. I've never seen anything like this. Nobody trusts these people on anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Their credibility, whether it's the media, left-wingers, government bureaucrats, swampies, Joe Biden, nobody trusts them. That's why this drone story is so damaging and has the nation's attention. Because if it's a simple explanation, then just say it. And if it's not a simple explanation, then you damn well better come clean because we got a new president coming in who...
The Dan Bongino Show

is not going to be eager to cover up your bullshit. It's going to come out in about a month. Folks, there is a reckoning coming for the communist media, though. And this is an important segment. I'm going to shift gears a little bit. Something happened with a criminal case, a really, really infamous kind of faux criminal case, because it wasn't real, but it was made up.

Thank you, Katie Couric and Jessica Tarloff. Why am I thanking these two? I'm not thanking them because I really mean it. I'm thanking them for finally having this revelation. I'm not going to change anything. Katie Couric and Jessica Tarloff are two diehard liberals, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
But there's this little bit of a mild awakening happening, and it's not because they feel bad about what happened or anything like that. It's because they feel bad about losing power. That's why. I will say this, though. Tarloff did have a moment on The Five. I don't know if you guys saw it last week. It was kind of surprising. The Daniel Penny case came up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
And Tarloff, of all people, gave one of the most passionate defenses of Daniel Penny I've heard yet. I was kind of actually floored by the whole thing. She's not our buddy. She's not on our side. It's not personal or anything like that. However, it was kind of strange to hear that. But you see what happens when this is when you guys never get kicked in the nuts by anything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
You're aware of what liberals think. You know they want to take your guns. They know they want to steal your school choice, steal your health care. You're aware of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
They are never aware of us until we beat them, and then they're shocked, and then they go, oh, my gosh, maybe we should have listened to them and not listened to Stuart Thompson when Dan Bongino and his team were talking about what a genius move this was because it was making the problem real. Is it bad enough yet? Folks, it is getting bad enough for certain people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
You're even seeing it in New York, where Eric Adams, who I'm telling you, is like the biggest political actor you've ever seen. The liberal mayor of New York is now starting to realize the emperor has no clothes. He's up there in New York. He's meeting with Tom Holman. He's realizing this immigration thing blew up in their face. We warned you. We warned you. You didn't listen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
And now he's also starting to realize not only is the illegal immigration problem devastating, but the media bias problem is devastating because even if you're a Democrat, you're not safe as they turn on him for doing something about immigration. Now he realizes the media is full of crap. We warned you about this years ago.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Look, watch the light bulb go off during this press conference at the end and Eric Adams' brain. Check this out.

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Someone asked me if Jessica Tarloff was at the party. She was not at the party. Many of my friends from Fox were the production team from Unfiltered and a lot of the people at Fox I work with over there. So it was very nice of them to show up. But Jessica was not there. It's not personal. Jessica was never mean to me or anything like that. We just, folks, we have a political disagreement.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
See, United States, we're still a republic, right? You're allowed to have political disagreements with people. You see it? You see the light bulb going off? That's why when I say to you things like, is it bad enough yet? I know they're quips and no, let's stop it. This show is meant to be a political tactics lesson too.
The Dan Bongino Show

Oh, look at them. There's with the lovely Evita and Michael. There's Rachel and Sean and me in Nate's jacket there looking like the Fonz is not as good looking or nearly as cool. Kim Klesik showed up. There's Michael Evita, producer Jim, and some weird guy all the way over. Oh, it looks like Justin. Oh, that is Justin. You know what's crazy?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
If you listen to this show a year, two years, three years ago when migrants were being shipped, illegal ones, into big cities, the left-wing media was telling you, oh my gosh, it's going to be devastating. The Republican Party is going to suffer for this. People hate them for it. I told you that's bullshit. You are now making it real. You are now making the is it bad enough question real.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
And sure enough, we were right. Stewart was wrong, yet again. Folks, thanks again for everything. Thank you for tolerating my long weekend update today. I hope folks in the chat, did you, Pacino, quick poll at the end. Was it annoying or not? Yes, it was annoying. No, it wasn't. I liked it because the show's for you, but it was a crazy weekend, man.

Michael's like seven feet tall and Justin's taller than him. That's like so weird. You know, when I look at you guys together, how tall are you, dude? Are you 6'3"? You look taller than that. And then we had a really super surprise guest. Leo Terrell showed up from Los Angeles, which this is like my office inside. I had to get him away from everybody.

And I came in this morning. I said to Justin and Michael, I said, objectively speaking, did Paula not throw the greatest party like ever? And she's like, they're like, dude, that was bananas. So Paula, man, I wouldn't, I don't know why I'm so blown away. The only thing folks now is Paula's 50th birthday is coming up. And what the hell do I do? I don't even know, how do I top that?

I'm not that smart like she is. What am I going to, I can't party plan anything. Was Geraldo there, DJF750? Geraldo did not show up, did not show up. And a couple of friends I invited who, you know, I told you, there are people in the business who pretend to be a friend. I'm glad with a day like that, you know who your real friends are. You know what I'm saying, folks?

Then we had another party the next day for my family, which was just as good. It's your family matters. So sorry for the long weekend update, but a lot of you were asking questions about it. The party went till 2.22, the triple deuce. My last friend to leave is at 2.22 in the morning, and we were just chatting it up in my living room. The house took a beating.

I may have to demo my house between people spilling wine and stuff all over. We had a guy power wash this morning. Some of it comes out, some of it doesn't. We had to cover up the pool. I'm not sure the pool will recover, but... That was pretty cool, right? Everybody got to dance. So it was a lot of fun, but I'm not sure it'll cover.

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
So this week, I told you, we were going to be the subject of yet the 10,000th New York Times, Washington Post, Mother Jones, conspiracy theory story, rumble, right-wing website. We've heard it a thousand times. Who's the latest asshole? The latest asshole is Stuart Thompson, who's whining in the article. Did you read the article, Justin? He's like...
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Oh my gosh, I emailed them for comment and they were so mad because you're a D-bag, bro. Nobody cares about you. Nobody reads your shitty paper. I know 50 years ago, you guys were the gray lady and the big deal and everybody was afraid of you. Nobody's afraid of you now. We laugh at you. We flip you the double barrel because you guys are losers.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
So Stuart Thompson, who let me tell you, he came into this piece. He came out this weekend, the day at a party, December 13th. He says, I traded my news apps for Rumble, the right-wing YouTube. It's not the right-wing YouTube, dude. It's a free speech site. We have left-wingers on there too, unlike YouTube, which bans and demonetizes right-wingers. Here's what I saw.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
And they note, Justin kept this in. He has monitored right-wing media since 2020. He watched 47 hours of video on Rumble for this article. Gee, that's a lot. There's only like 22 million hours or so. I'm sure he got a great sample of everything. If this doesn't show you how the media works, he picked his 47 hours. for this article.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
He doesn't pick, like, Glenn Greenwald's show, who happens to be an actual journalist. He only picks the right-wing guys, and then he's, like, stunned that there's right-wing content on Rumble. Do you see how dumb of a journalist this asshole is, okay? He goes to Rumble, watches a bunch of right-wing channels, and Justin, shocker, he comes to the conclusion that Rumble's right-wing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
That's freaking great journalism, Stuart. You are a genius. That's like going into a chemistry lab at a high school and know what they're building. This freaking place doesn't teach biology and physics? What kind of dumb place is this? This is the kind of stuff you have to deal with in the New York Times. He should. He should be a statistician.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Clearly, Stewart's such a dumbass, he doesn't understand how sample bias works because he's a freaking moron. If he would go watch Glenn Greenwald or Jimmy Dore or others on there who aren't conservative but are truth-tellers, maybe he would have come with a different conclusion. So here's what he puts up there. This is how dumb the left-wing media people are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
And then they laugh that we make fun of them. He notes, just a few hours into the experiment, it was clear that I was falling into an alternate reality, fueled almost entirely by outrage. Stewart, you were such a piece of shit and so stupid. An alternate reality? Keep this up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Do you realize you work at the New York Times, where nearly everything you told America, significant stories about the Trump team, turned out to be a, quote, alternate reality? The 51 intelligence people, the Russia collusion hoax, that Spygate was a hoax, all the COVID bullshit about masks. These people are freaking crazy. They are nuts. And then they're worried we call them nuts.

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
He then hilariously goes on to talk about a conspiracy theory about a sex trafficking operation and then basically goes on and proves that there was a sex trafficking operation. His only dispute is the numbers. Folks, these people have zero interest in reporting going forward. Why am I bringing this up first in the show?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Because what they don't understand is they have actually laid the groundwork for this, quote, alternate reality that is the media now. But the alternate reality has a name. It's called the truth. They're just angry that we beat them on every single story and that they have to rely on kissing people's asses for subscriptions now by promoting increasingly crazy left-wing stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Folks, Rumble is the future. X is the future. Truth is the future. These papers are done. They are on life support. They are going to be catering to a smaller and smaller group of people to the point where they're going to be in effect what the old school tabloids were in the checkout counter of the show. We are always their story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Stuart, I'm going to ask you a serious question because you're an asshole and I can't stand you. But let me put aside my personal animosity because you're such a moron. For a second, I want to ask you a serious question. Did you ever for a second look in the mirror and say to yourself, you know what?
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
We've been part of this alternate reality too by creating a bunch of bullshit conspiracy theories about Donald Trump. And because people don't trust us now... They have to seek truth on Rumble X and elsewhere. Does that bother you at all? I'm so sick of these people, folks. They make me sick. The real reporting was always on Rumble.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Here's another example of what I'm talking about, where the Stuart Thompsons of the world at the New York Times and the Washington Post, again, why I'm bringing it up now, boy, nobody believes them, and they go to Rumble, X, Truth, and elsewhere and podcasts because we're right and they're wrong. Remember when we told you on January 6th, I know what happened. I saw the riot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
I saw people got out of control. I've been very honest about what happened on January 6th, okay? I also told you on January 6th that whereas our people can be honest about it, said that shouldn't happen, that shouldn't happen, but here's what else shouldn't happen. The FBI shouldn't have lied to us about how many feds were in the crowd or federal assets. And second...
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
The government shouldn't have lied to us about Kash Patel and Donald Trump, their story that they requested security and that everybody basically told them to stand down on it. We tell the truth. They don't. Even when it reflects poorly on us. It's my interest in getting the story out. We told you there were federal assets in the crowd. How did I know that?

Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
You think some asshole like Stuart Thompson is going to reach out to me? How did I know? Because a federal agent sent me freaking pictures on an encrypted app at the event with him and feds. What else could you possibly need? It's not a secondhand source. It's a firsthand source who was there, who said, Dan, there are federal agents in the crowd. Now, the IG report comes out on Friday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
That's like the internal affairs thing. I'm sorry I missed it Friday. We did the reaction show because we were getting ready for the event, right? But I promise I get to it today. It's a huge story. The IG report still ridiculously claims that the FBI story is true, that there were no federal agents, basically, or FBI agents in the crowd. I'm telling you that's bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Stewart, again, will pick up the story in three, four years when it comes out. I'm telling you now, flags in the chat. Folks, get them in there. Get them in there. Get them in the chat. Get them in the chat right now. I want to see who got it first. Who got it first? AlwaysSkeptic22 or something. There we go. Flags in the chat immediately. Thank you. On the screen. I'm telling you that's bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
There were absolutely federal agents and FBI agents in the crowd. But, man, fire it up. Break that chat. Smoke that thing. Get the Rumble servers on fire. Chris from Rumble. By the way, thank you to Chris, Dan Scavino, and Devin for coming too. Devin Nunes, you guys are awesome. It was really an honor to see you guys there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Did The Government Accidentally Tell The Truth About The Drones? (Ep. 2388)
Chris right now has got the fire extinguisher on the Rumble servers because we're melting it. Look at that. I think we just crashed this thing again. Oh, my gosh. You guys are so good. There were FBI agents in the crowd. Stewart, pay attention, dumbass. I have pictures. There were people in the crowd. So the IG report admits, however, that there were at least FBI assets.

And this piece of garbage didn't do shit. He's the same guy who told us Antifa was just an idea. The biggest threat is white supremacy. And now walking out a door, this coward, coward.

If you don't understand it, you'll never understand the dynamics of resource allocation. If you allocate the eight hours in an FBI's workday to going out and getting grandma who walked in the door on January 6th, he's not investigating the potentially hundreds of thousands of China-connected intel agents and people around the world who are stealing data and infiltrating critical infrastructure.

I really didn't think she was going to show up. I thought the story was crap. I still do. However, showed up. We screw up, we're going to tell you. But I'll tell you, man, outside of a couple of small errors, our batting average has been 1,000. On Spygate, the Hunter laptop, J6, the fat involvement, the pipe bomber.

You think you're going to get a tax amnesty if you don't pay your taxes? Yeah, sure. OCS, Outer Continental Shelf Drilling, it's going to destroy gas prices. A bunch of pardons for felons and really genuinely awful people.

All the money getting flushed out the door with no accountability. The censorship regime, Biden doubling down on that. Folks, we're in this point right now. I read that article to you last week where we're living in this almost post-Soviet Union glass nose period.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
When the old Soviet Union fell and in the early days of attempted reform that's now backtracked under Putin, but however, they did try early on, the media was allowed to report when the Soviet Union fell apart and collapsed and Russia had to consolidate its interests. The media was reporting on some of the atrocities that happened during the hardcore communist era.

The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
There was an interesting Wall Street Journal article last week comparing that, the media freedom afterwards when they reported on what's happening now in the United States now that Biden is leaving office. You're seeing some, a very limited number, but some media people starting to report on the atrocities that happened in the Biden years.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Always, always, always measure the effectiveness of something that's happening by the response of your enemies. So I'm asking the media, are you going to start to cover now the full scope of the censorship that happened during the Biden and Obama years? And the Trump years, by the way. Not by the Trump administration, but by external entities censoring Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Are you now going to start to put aside your full of shit filter and cover the media censorship that happened? I want you to watch this video. Here is Biden last week. You may have missed this with everything going on. He's in an absolute panic now that Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, Meta, that he has said they're not going to be fact-checking anymore. I'm holding on this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I'm going to see results. No one deserves a round of applause until I see actual action. I'm watching the distribution of my page. They're claiming it's going to go up because I'm not going to be censored anymore. We'll see. I'll be watching. Always measure the response by your enemy's response. Here's Biden freaking out because they're no longer going to censor.

Telling the truth matters from the biggest lying sack of shit in presidential history. A guy who has lied about everything. I've had no business relationship with my son. Well, I've had some, but I didn't meet him. Well, I met with him. This guy is a liar. 51 intelligence officials say it isn't a laptop. Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

Biden's freaking out because the Democrat Party cannot exist without gaslighting. What's gaslighting? Pop quiz for those in the chat. Lying, lying often, lying confidently, and isolating people from the truth. If you don't have those four things, you cannot gaslight people into believing masks work. Isolating people from the truth, in other words, censorship, is a critical component.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
They cannot exist, the Democrat Party, without gaslighting and isolating you from the truth because everything they tell you is a lie about taxes, health care, education, government spending, vaccines, masks, school choice, defense, woke policies, everything. Here's the clip that got a lot of attention. This is Mark Zuckerberg on Rogan last week. This is what they're talking about.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Folks, this was a full court media press by Facebook. They are out there right now. They're not hiding this. What they say is a pivot. Hubba 66 is right. Everyone needs to hold. Do not get emotional.

Everybody hold. Just hold. Let's see what they do, and then we'll digest it. We'll regroup, and we're not going to get emotional about it and do liberal bumper sticker emotions. Coexist. Tolerance.

Republicans are confident, solid, conservative, libertarian Republicans who aren't bullshit artists like John Fung.

The Democrats are not. That's why they are bedrocked in censorship. They would not exist without censorship. That's why the fire story in Los Angeles is so devastating, because they've been able to hide the data on vaccines. Hide the data on masks. Hide the data on school choice. In other words, it's out there, but they're not going to publicize it. You can't hide a freaking fire.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
One of America's most liberal places is burning to the ground, and there's no way for a government now that has claimed to solve all your problems, give us your money, 50% of you are going to fix your problems. There's no way to hide the fact that they can't do shit. The emperor has no clothes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
That's why this story is, outside of the obvious human tragedy, is so devastating to the liberal governing model. An update on that coming up in a second. Remember, opportunity costs. When you waste your time attacking Donald Trump and Moms for Liberty, you're not going after China infiltrating the grid, and you're certainly not doing fire prevention either.

I'll show you what I mean coming up in a second. Everything's tied together. Folks, I lost a lot of weight. I think you noticed that. You can see if you go look at my old videos. I was about 230, I think 238 at my max. I didn't like being heavy anymore. I was lifting. I was still doing my cardio, but my joints got beat up. So I needed to lose some weight.

Not a substitute for or alternative for care from a healthcare provider. And our last sponsor today, before I get back to the show, you just saw it. The privilege to get tax pardons. Many hardworking Americans don't. The IRS stepped up enforcement. If you owe back taxes or if unfiled returns, don't wait for the IRS before you act. Waiting to get caught can make you look like a tax evader.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
It's probably not going to end well. So getting ahead of this is a smart move. But now, don't contact the IRS alone. That's a mistake. Turn it over to Tax Network USA. Why? Because not all tax resolution companies are the same. Tax Network USA has a strong relationship with the IRS. They have a preferred direct line to the IRS. And why is that important?

They're both involved in the same effort. They would not exist. Here's why this story is so devastating. I want you to watch this first. This is a news report. out of the West Coast, out of California. The California legislature is watching the primary economic engine of its state, Los Angeles, and this economic powerhouse, which it is, burn to the ground.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, here's more. of California Democrat liberal communist speaker Robert Rivas. I'm actually shocked here.

The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
My guess is either she's been personally affected or someone she knows has or someone she knows knows someone who's had the tragic situation like I did earlier in my life of a house burning down where everything you ever had is destroyed and you won't even figure it out until later in life and you need something that burned. When it becomes personal liberalism, the gaslighting is harder.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
You cannot isolate people from the truth and censor them from hearing about how masks don't do shit when their house is burning down.

Ladies and gentlemen, not only they can't do the little things, they can't do the big things. Santa Ana wins have been there forever. I was reading a story the other day about how in the...

The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Now, he has done some hits talking about this fire, but he's the newly elected senator, this scumbag, this lying Russian collusion hoaxer, this piece of shit who looked in the television on the Tucker Carlson show on Fox, looked in the camera and lied to America saying he had evidence of collusion falsely. Here he is on TV. This guy should be only discussing his state burning to the ground.
The Dan Bongino Show

The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Of course, this goes on forever, him talking about convicted felon. Ladies and gentlemen, you should embrace it. Donald Trump is a political prisoner. He has been for a long time. Just because he's not in jail doesn't mean he isn't a prisoner of the mechanism of the state. He has been. And now we're going to dismantle it. What did I tell you on Friday the goal is? Does anybody remember?
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
It was three words. The goal moving forward, don't ever forget this, is total personnel warfare from this point on. Total personnel warfare. Total. Everybody gets fired. You touched it. You sniffed it. You were anywhere near an anti-Trump, weaponized government conspiracy theory, or you did nothing and sat by. Everyone gets fired. Total personnel warfare going forward. I love it.

The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I'm the only one telling you he's not my right-hand guy. I've spoken to him maybe five or six times. We had dinner once in Bedminster. He doesn't call me for shit. You know how many times he's called me since the election? Take a guess. Justin, any idea? It's a freaking zero. What about J.D. Vance? He's definitely. No. Zero. They don't need to call me. What do they need to call me for?

The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I'm the only guy telling you the truth. John Fun seems to think me and him are on the phone every day strategizing. It's the reason I don't go to all this shit. You don't see me at Mar-a-Lago, do you? Happy to go. I don't go. I want you to watch this segment, too, because it goes to show you how this media operation is so hellbent on censorship that this PBS reporter is now offended.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
PBS, which gets government funds, by the way, and I hope that changes under Donald Trump. This PBS reporter is upset that we've uncovered the truth and they lie. She's upset we believe Donald Trump over them, despite the fact that Donald Trump, whether it's about the smelt, the laptop, L.A.

Revise the history of January 6th? Donald Trump didn't revise the history of January 6th. Donald Trump and his MAGA team of investigators uncovered the truth about it. No one denies what happened. You can watch the videos. However, you guys told us there was no federal involvement at all. Did you not? There were no federal agents in the crowd. I'm telling you that's bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I've seen pictures of federal agents who've sent me pictures in the crowd working. They weren't there in their own time. You're upset. Why? Because people believed us? And watch when the pipe bomber story comes out and you find out it was an insider. Then you'll find the PBS said, oh my gosh, you guys were right again. Speaking of January 6th, folks, this tore up the internet this weekend, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
About January 6th, federal involvement, the pipe bomber. J.D. Vance came out this weekend, did an interview with Martha McCallum on the Fox News Sunday show. It's his first interview. We would have loved to interview him. We haven't interviewed him yet. Whatever, man. I don't even care anymore about this stuff. I want them to get their voice out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
But here's Vance on the pardon process going forward, what they're going to do from January 6th. A lot of people were upset. Some people thought this was the right approach. You decide. I'm here to give you the information accurately. You can hear it from his mouth. He's obviously talking to Donald Trump often. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I'm sorry, Shannon Bream, obviously the weekend show. Martha has the weekday show. So thanks in the chat. I've been watching that. Some people objected to that. There was a back and forth between the Hodge twins and J.D. Vance on Twitter about it. Some of you will object to it. Some of you agree with it. I'm here to give you the information.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Ladies and gentlemen, you decide on what the proper approach is going forward. All I'm saying going forward is if Joe Biden can sit there and pardon convicted felons, I think we need to take a broad scope view of pardons on January 6th. We can't also deny a lot of stuff happened that day that shouldn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
But we should be able to get to the truth and speak the truth, truth to power on this, because people have lied to us forever. Now, speaking of January 6th and the federal involvement in the crowd, I'm telling you happened. I'll give you a fair assessment of what happened and what I think went down that day, and I have. But they are lying to you. Barry Loudermilk's a Republican congressman.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
He's been doing a really good job on this Pipe Bomber case. Now, this is really important. He gave an interview this past week, and they are pushing in the new Congress, which is now ceded. They are pushing for full subpoena power going forward to investigate what happened with this pipe bomber case, which I'm telling you is an inside job. I have zero doubt anymore.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
They know the identity as person. They just don't want you to know subpoena power is important because it's not just about subpoenaing people within the FBI to say, what the hell did you know about that pipe bomber? And when did you know it? It's about the threat of subpoena. They then have to go and get lawyers. This is the process is punishment for, Both ways, folks. Here's Loudermilk.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
All right, let's get to some serious stuff because this was the easiest prediction in the world that they were going to predict Trump is a serial hater of fish. Wants to wipe out all fish now. So I wake up this morning and I have to cover some serious stuff about the FBI. And I warned National Review about an hour ago, come get your boy here, Johnny Fund. They didn't listen.
The Dan Bongino Show

The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Folks, what Barry Loudermilk is saying is 100% accurate. Once the threat of subpoena, hey, you guys can testify, you're going to get a subpoena, you can no longer ignore. They do not want to be embarrassed up on Capitol Hill. Oh, they don't care. Oh, believe me, they do.

The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
A lot of these guys, these mid-level GS-14 and 15 FBI agents, listen to me, as a guy who's been inside the government, they have no experience whatsoever under the spotlight. Listen to what I'm telling you. A lot of these guys have never even been interviewed by the media.

I am absolutely convinced, convinced with certainty, and there's not a lot I can say with certainty, that if we would have lost this election, ladies and gentlemen, tyranny was right around the corner. Biden, by the way, is still convinced he would have won, which I find quite hilarious. Here's Biden last week, given a presser again, talking about how he thinks he would have beaten Trump.

I will wait for an update to this article. And just so you know, National Review, I'm not planning on suing you for this or anything like that. It's just you guys are just assholes. But this is obviously a lie and a made up story. But there's a point here, folks. I know it's hard for many of you to believe. Well, maybe not you in my chat. You guys are smart.

You get Lord Acton-like power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely. I want you to watch this clip with Tucker Carlson. He did this interview a couple weeks ago. It's a pretty good one. But he talks about how... Something I've said often that it's an old adage. I did not invent it, but I'll put it out there because it's so true. To the Democrats, this is a warning to you.

Republicans, the good ones, not the John Funds. You can vote yourself into socialism and tyranny. Matter of fact, it happens often past this prologue. But there's only one way out. You got to fight your way out because they will never give up power unless you get rid of them. And we were this close. Watch this clip with Tucker. You'll see what I mean.

Folks, when you ignore the will of people and you trample over them and you steal from them, like is happening right now with these raging wildfires, with the crime situation in Chicago and New York. Eventually, it's going to get bad enough. Is it bad enough yet? You get differing opinions.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
My friend Kurt Schlichter, I saw on Twitter, I believe it was him, seems to believe that none of this is going to make a difference. California is going to continue to vote blue. Folks in the chat, chime in. I'll give you my answer. I don't know. I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
All I can tell you is I lived in New York City, and it had to get really, really, really bad before people changed their voting behavior, but they did eventually. Think about it. You think it's bad now? There were close to 3,000 people, close to 3,000 people murdered in New York City when they finally voted in Rudy Giuliani, and then he won reelection in a landslide. 3,000 people.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
That's like Afghanistan. Folks, the per capita murder rate in New York is up there with like the highest in the world back then. And finally, they changed course. Are these wildfires, the crime situation around the country in big cities, is it going to change? Is it bad enough yet? My answer, again, I'm being honest here and humble in my, I'm not trying to be a stupid smart person.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I'm trying to be a smart, smart person. I don't know. I don't know when it's bad enough. But I know we're getting there because we're seeing a change in voting patterns. I want to get to this, too, because this is important. It shows the change in vision moving forward. Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen, J.D. Vance, are BHAG guys. Big, hairy, audacious goals guys. They talk about it all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
They tell you this in business school. Have a BHAG. Have a big, hairy, audacious goal in your vision. You're a CEO. You're a corporate executive. You're running a small business. Have a big, visionary goal that people can aspire to. You may get there. You may not. But it gives people a vision. It gives your company a vision. You know, it's not just foo-foo stuff. Trump and Vance have that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
They see big things for the United States. That's why this Greenland thing, don't let people go, oh, Greenland, he's getting lost. No, no, this is a big deal. It is a huge piece of land critical to our national defense loaded with rare earth minerals and a group of people, if you believe the latest poll, that would love to join the United States. I think it should be a territory, not a state.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
However, we need Greenland. It's a big goal. It's a visionary goal. It's an audacious goal. But here's J.D. Vance, totally in line with the Trump agenda, explaining exactly why we should be doing big things, not small things, because the United States deserves big things because we've done big things for the world. Watch this.

But there are some people who are maybe new to the show or some liberals who are tuning in to hear, you know, crazy Dan Bongino and how he's right all the time. And they just don't believe it. I've tried to tell people for a long time that the media, both right wing anti-Trump lunatics and left wingers, I'm telling you they make stuff up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Yes, we are an expansionary country. We have a lot to offer. We've been paying to finance the world's policing and security forever. It's time the world paid us back. We need Greenland. Should be a territory. The people there should choose. Should we engage in a hostile military takeover of Greenland? No, I believe that would be a mistake. But J.D. is right.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
We already have a military presence in Greenland because they need us or they'd already be invaded by Russia or China who would love to take Greenland and set up a base right off our northeast. I want to leave you with this clip because it's totally unrelated to anything other than some Monday good news. Because it is a Monday.

I hit you with a lot of heavy stuff today, including media bullshit and everything else. You know, I love Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I had to stop after cancer. I had to pour it in my chest. Didn't want to have it ripped out, bleed to death or anything like that. But I loved it my entire life. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is grappling, ground fighting, the art of using leverage on the ground.

The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I'm fascinated by it. I recommend anyone who, as long as your doctor clears you to do it and you orthopedically can do it, to take it up. There's nothing like the ability to learn to defend yourself. It is a pure meritocracy. But I'm telling you, I've seen this. Here's Joe Rogan on Brazilian jiu-jitsu with Theo Vaughn. Or I don't know who he's with here.

But talking about how guys and women who take Brazilian jiu-jitsu all of a sudden become like libertarians and free a big government. Because I'm telling you why. I've seen it in these schools myself. I've been in about 10 of them. It is a pure meritocracy. There is no socialism on a Brazilian jiu-jitsu mat. Watch this. Check this out.

I know this is hard for you to believe because you're like, wait, there's like defamation law and supposed to be some kind of journalistic integrity and standards.

And it is not just the left. This is why I hate when people are, Dan Bongino, right wing. I'm right wing nothing. I am a conservatarian. When people on the right side of the aisle say dumb shit, I call them out too. I read this article someone sends to me this morning and they're like, wow, I didn't know you had this much power. Michael just said it to me too. He's like, Dan, you're so powerful.

You got Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz appointed and selected or selected for these positions in Trump's cabinet. I was like, I did? Holy shit, that's crazy. So he sends me this article by John Fund at National Review. If you guys have any integrity, including John Fund, I'll expect an apology and a revision. And I'm going to make an offer to John Fund at the end of this, okay? Oh, thank you.

Found my tweet. National Review, come get your boy Johnny Fund before I destroy him on my show at 11. Clock's ticking. I have not seen an update. If you guys want to pull this article, I'd love to see it. The article's called Pete Hegseth is a Walking Dead nominee. And it goes into how Susie Wiles, who is now Donald Trump's chief of staff, who I barely know. I don't like or dislike.

The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I don't know her, okay? I met her at a fundraiser. I paid to get it. I did not ask for any benefits. I wanted to support Donald Trump because I'm not a hypocrite. I said hello to her. She was very nice and kind to me. I have no beef with Susie Wiles at all. She ran a great campaign. They won. She's now the chief of staff.

Well, it's got to be friendly for radio, so... The imbecile of the day. And Jim, add a little echo effect to it if you would. Because we've got one for you today. Man, do I got a show for you.

John Funn writes that Susie Wiles is now his incoming chief of staff, helped pilot Trump do an electoral effort that was a model of discipline. But she made a mistake once the election was over, Funn notes. She took a few days off. Within that week, Trump urged in Susie Wiles' absence,

by such kitchen cabinet advisors as his son Don Jr., Tucker Carlson, and radio talk show host Dan Bongino had chosen Matt Gaetz as his nominee for Attorney General and Fox News host Pete Hegseth as his nominee for Secretary of Defense. Ladies and gentlemen, John Fung is a fucking liar. He is making this story up. I had absolutely nothing to do with this whatsoever.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Guys, all of you right now, everybody listen up. Justin, take your headphones off, okay? When Pete Hegseth was chosen as Secretary of Defense and I came in the next day, do you remember the story I told you? I'm sitting there. I was watching Fox News. I think it was Laura Ingraham's show. And I was as shocked as anyone else about Pete Hegseth. I had no idea about Pete Hegseth.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Matt Gaetz, I had absolutely nothing at all to do with Matt Gaetz. After Trump picked him, I support Donald Trump's picks. He knows something I don't. If he picked him, fine. Matt Gaetz didn't work out. This is a totally 100% made-up story. So Bongino Army, we are the most powerful military Talk show, radio show, digital broadcast, podcast, anywhere out there, bar none.

There isn't even a close second. Show John Fund what we're made of. Be cool. Be respectful. But tweet to John Fund and NRO. And here's the deal. You guys cool with this deal? By the way, they all said they'll take a cut in their salary to finance this. Wait, John. Justin's like, I didn't say that shit. I'll pay for it myself. This is a serious offer. This is not a joke to John Fund.

I made the same offer to Philip Bump at the Washington Post. He never collected his money. This is easy money. $100,000 in cash. I'm not kidding. I am as serious as a freaking heart attack.

I usually go, oh, we'll give it to a charity. You do what you want with it. I don't care if you spend it, burn it, give it a charity. I will give you $100,000 in cash if you can prove to me or anyone else or provide a shred of evidence that I was involved in the selection of Matt Gaetz or Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense and Attorney General. Easiest money you'll ever make.

If they haven't changed it yet, they still. So this is right off the website right now. I will offer John Fund $100,000 in cash. I am absolutely not kidding. Provide proof to me publicly and anyone else that I had something to do with this quote line right here.

Within that week, urged in Susie Weil's absence by a kitchen cabinet that I was his advisor and I was involved in, quote, the choosing of Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth. Easy money, folks. National Review is lying to you. They published this. John Fund is lying to you. And folks, there's a point here. The point here is that this is not about me. It's not about me.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I'm willing to give the guy $100,000 if he can prove any of that is actually true. He made it up. The story's just fabricated because he's an angry, bitter piece of shit who just makes up stories because he doesn't like me or Tucker or Don Jr., The point is, be careful who you trust.

The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
And it's about the collapse in the entirety of institutions we once trusted and the danger for our own personal security when you can't trust people. People you should be able to trust. Folks, the job of the media, the job of the FBI, and the job of the Pentagon, why I do support Pete Hegseth now, by the way, I had nothing to do with his choosing. The word's right there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
When you can't trust these people, the media to report facts, how the hell are we all going to make collective decisions we need to make? If an imminent threat were to come in tomorrow to say Russia's getting ready to, a hyperbolic example, but one that maybe will kind of nail home the gravity of what I'm discussing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
When the credibility of institutions like the media, the Pentagon, the FBI collapses, right? What happens tomorrow? Say, God forbid, something breaks really bad in the Ukraine-Vladimir Putin war, right? And Putin says, I'm getting ready to launch a nuke to take out the East Coast.

Folks, do you understand if it comes from the FBI, the woke Pentagon leadership and the media, that probably close to 30 to 40 percent of America is just not going to believe it? This is serious shit. This is just a minor story about me, but it goes to show you how anti-Trump, I hate the TDS thing because it's over Trump derangement syndrome, but it's like a prion.

This is the story I wanted to start with. I know it's hard to believe that they make stuff up. Really, even for you, you're probably like, come on, they don't just make it up. This is just made up. 61 Minutes. Of course, they added a minute to protect Kamala Harris. You know the show, 61 Minutes, the Sir Network. I mean, right, good point. Talk about making things up.

61 minutes aired an interview with disgraced, now soon-to-be former FBI director Chris Wray. Folks, I'm telling you not to ignore this. Here's the problem right now. This is when institutions fail. This problem Christopher Wray is about to talk about, about China infiltrating our infrastructure, I'm telling you is real.
The Dan Bongino Show

You're watching them on the news. They are absolute tragedies. People are getting wiped out. Folks, emergencies happen because people don't see them coming. You've got to be prepared. It's better to have emergency supplies and not need them than to need them and to not have them. Have a go bag. Have yourself some emergency food. Don't fall prey to panic buying.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
I have heard it from people, insiders who absolutely love this country, who way before Christopher Wray was in charge were telling me this is a problem. that China's infiltrated our infrastructure. They've stolen our data. I know they stole data because the OPM hack of all the government personnel records, my records were stolen, my Secret Service records. I got a note in the mail.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Was the government going to steal their own records? This is real. The problem is the FBI's credibility is such shit that if they want to shut us off our infrastructure, our internet, our water supply, no one's going to believe it because these people are full of shit. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The FBI Warns Of A Grave Threat, But Will Anyone Believe Them? (Ep. 2399)
Folks, this is real. Now, here's the obvious problem. Number one is what I talked about. When the credibility of institutions, because like the FBI, that lie to us all the time about everything. January 6th, the Fed involvement, the pipe bomber case, the attack on Moms for Liberty, the attack on pro-lifers.

But I know as a, what, 47-year-old, when I was maybe 46, 47, when I was diagnosed with cancer and we didn't know what kind, and they tell you it could be this, which is terminal, or it could be this, which is treatable.

And she is just...

Folks, if you could give her a little shout out in the chat, I'd really appreciate it. She is running around. We are doing so much trying to move. We don't even have a place yet. The place we were going to get, it didn't work out. So we're actually moving right now to nowhere yet until we figure it out. She's over at the other house trying to get stuff for us. She's packing.

She's just been doing so much dealing with the transition of the business. to my unbelievable, and by the way, threw this party for me this weekend. We had about 50 people show up. My team was there. So Paula, thank you so much for me, and I know that everybody watching feels the same way. You were amazing. I saw her this morning getting changed, and I said, hey, I'm sorry.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
And she said, you're sorry for what? I said, I'm sorry you married a guy like me. You know? And she's like, what do you mean? I said, you know, you could have married some rich doctor who works a 9 to 5 or something and stayed home and married a guy like me who's always, you know, throwing curveballs. Take that back, throwing knuckleballs. So you don't know where it's going to go.

You're witnessing a total brand collapse of a party that prided itself, the Democrats in the past, of being the party of the little guy, the party of the working man. And in this effort to one-up the attacks on Donald Trump, what they've done is they've completely forfeited and unmoored their boat to that brand label. But here's the thing. It is okay to remake your party with a new brand.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
You wanna go from the nice guy to the James Dean rebel? Make the transition, hire a branding guy, whatever. The problem I see with the Democrats, and pay attention, because this is the most important point I'm gonna make on this, is they've unmoored themselves from their initial brand, working man, little guy, coexist, tolerance, whatever it may be, and they're now just drifting at sea.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I mean it, I'll do a little test in the chat. Tell me in the chat, right now, what their new bumper sticker brand is. Three words or less, what are the Democrats about now? The answer is nobody, wokeism maybe? Nobody really knows. Here, this is a TikTok video. TikTok's still a very powerful platform, whether we like it or not. Here's a TikTok influencer here.

Click the views up before you leave. It's okay with us. Your brand's collapsing, not ours. We're doing just fine. I'll show it to you coming up in a minute because receipts matter. I will show it to you. But if you think that's the only one, you're like, oh, my gosh, that's just one episode of this. One, they're all over TikTok.

And I'm not telling you this is a scientific survey of Democrats and all that other stuff. I'm not telling you that. I am telling you, however, it's out there. It's very real. I don't know this person. But here's another one. a Democrat voter who wakes up after the State of the Union speech and watch that entire episode, watch the brand collapse. It's like, I don't want that. That's not my brand.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Do you notice she emphasizes the lack of fear moving forward? Are you guys and ladies out there catching the difference between 2016? What I'm getting at is the first Donald Trump presidential term was such a shock to the system of the establishment. By the way, the right and the left. that it was kind of cool to be, remember the resistance and all of that?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
And then they got smoked so bad and realized that they lost the popular vote. Regardless if it was 50% or not, we, our movement, the MAGA movement, got more votes than you did. So if you're gonna suggest you're popular, then just by sheer numbers, our movement is more popular, right? If you believe in just this thing called math.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
You see how now the entire resistance movement has completely collapsed? And now we're getting to the point where the second guy is getting up and dancing. Some of you will get that. And then the third guy. And now people are starting to realize whether it's, I saw this thing, DEI, the whole office of DEI was shuttered at University of Virginia. It's all collapsing now.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
It's all collapsing around them as people realize their positions were never popular. They were never popular. And now all of a sudden, whatever the stupid word is, cool, it's cool, it's edgy now to be on our side and not on their side. And everybody's starting to see it.

We recorded some of it in advance on Thursday. Friday, I had to take off. I was up doing some stuff up north. So you could probably tell if you go back and watch that I was looking in the wrong spot, which you would think having been doing this forever. I kept looking at the monitor below.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I'll never forget after the election a couple months ago, was it Dana Perino on Fox saying for the first time in a while she had seen a bunch of red MAGA hats in New York City and no one was like throwing things at them like Game of Thrones ex-giffy. Again, if you know, you know. I got more, including receipts.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I'm going to show you again how this kind of show-your-butts theory here works, how they've been forcing the Trump era, they forced Democrats to take unpopular positions. They didn't force them. The Democrats have taken unpopular positions despite no force to do it. And they're just doing it because they have to one-up each time.

The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
They don't, I'm telling you they don't care. I want you to witness this disparity, this brick wall between the two parties now, where you have this transactional president, Donald Trump, who sees the world as a spreadsheet, whether you like it or not. He wants results. He's not interested in flowery speeches.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Then you've got the Democrats lost in this passion and emotion for an issue they're willing to die on this hill that Americans are against them resoundingly. by a massive margin. You're talking about they'd have to make up 30 polling points to get back to 50-50. By the way, thank you, Mosina14. I'm going to miss you, Dan. I'm going to miss you guys, too. Annie gives a shout out to Paula.

But out of respect for the guys who had to do a crash course in the new studio, Thursday we had to kind of prerecord some of that just to be sure there were no major foul-ups.

And for those who missed the Friday, or Thursday show, excuse me, last week, the flag, that was from the Patriot Awards when I was with Fox. The badge next to it is an inaugural Secret Service badge from when George W. Bush won. The next one over there, you see the American flag. It's a delighted American. We got a lot of American flag. We love America, of course.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
We got the hard American flag, the Patriot words. That is my Secret Service badge next to it from when it was with the Treasury Department in Lucite. Got a series of great books in there. Got all the civil rights amendments there. Got the Bongino baseball. Auburn basketball signed by the team. Bo Jackson signed helmet. Got to represent Auburn. My books at the bottom.

And, of course, Mutley and Rock'em Sock'em Robots. Man, you guys are good at this. What are you showing them? The ceiling now, too? Oh, of course. That is going out to Anita and the crew. You guys can take that with you. The famous Fugazi head, which I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of him over the next few years. I'm sure he'll have a lot to add to the conversation.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Hey, here is a, this is probably my favorite clip of the entire show. This is the one, no, you guys like this one. Okay, they wanted to cut out a different one. If there has ever been a gift to the MAGA movement on the other side of the aisle, On the other side of the aisle, folks, it is Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. This is so transformational for us.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
If more Democrats would emulate the Jasmine Crockett style of speaking out publicly passionately about things she has no idea, it would be a huge boon to the polling numbers for our side. Here's Jasmine Crockett, who unbelievably says on a cable news network that entering the country illegally is not illegal. Entering the country She uses the word illegally.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
In case you think I'm crazy, I'll play it for you. Entering the country illegally is illegal because you entered the country illegally in violation of the law. I'll show it to you coming up next, what the actual code is. Community notes struck again. But here, listen to it first.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Thank you, Elon Musk, again, for the glorious community notes feature. Yes, it is a crime. C8 United States Code, Section 1325. You can look it up yourself, of course, if you'd like, but don't let facts get in the way of a silly argument. She literally said, and oh man, I use that word, I hate it. It is not illegal, or excuse me, it's not against the law to enter the country illegally.
The Dan Bongino Show

You see Justin, seven foot tall Justin, blocking out, everyone's like the eclipse. You can barely see Guy or Michael in there. I just found out today Justin's four inches taller than Michael, who I thought was like seven feet tall himself. I guess it's because they're sitting down all the time. I keep messing that up. So weekend update for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
No, it is. It is. The gift that keeps on giving. I'm going to predict something, though. Did I say this before, guys? That there is going to be, mark this down, mark it down. I won't be here to comment on it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I can almost guarantee you, Jasmine Crockett and AOC are going to turn into rivals soon. Because I don't think AOC likes it that Jasmine Crockett has taken her place as the greatest Democrat gift to Republicans. I don't think she likes it. I don't. She's getting all this attention, Congresswoman Crockett now, at the expense of AOC, who was the gift they kept on giving in the past. I'm serious.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I'm not kidding. I think they're going to turn into rivals. Folks, the left, of course, cannot get their sea legs about them. You've seen this, this disorganized kind of attack style back, the show your butts thing, the position on the men and women's sports issue. You're seeing how bad it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
It's got to be bad when Gavin Newsom, who has been traditionally the left-wing lodestar for the left, I mean, this guy, he's been kind of like an anchor for leftist policies and insulated in the state of California.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
When Gavin Newsom starts to recognize how the Republicans are working, flooding the zone, what we call rock'em, sock'em robots, what Bannon calls flood the zone, I don't care what you call it. When he starts recognizing that, you know what we're doing is right. He understands this is the only way to roll here. Listen to him on his new podcast. He had Charlie Kirk on as a guest. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Let me just throw something out there, by the way. It was very limited, but I saw some criticism on social media that Charlie did this interview with Gavin Newsom. Tell me in the chat. You guys, obviously, you're the only thing that matters, the show, while I'm with you this last week. I have zero problem whatsoever.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
If I was staying in this space, which I'm not, I'm going to tell you right now, I'd go on the show. Why not? What I don't understand with the criticism of Charlie is if we're not willing to go on a show like that where some third party may be listening, right? In other words, it's not a liberal or a Democrat. It's a seemingly kind of nonpartisan third party guy who can go either way.

Paula was nice enough to throw a Bon Voyage party for me on Saturday, and all of my friends showed up at the house, and it was really an amazing moment and a party.

And we can just flip a few of them and move them over. That's how Donald Trump was so successful. I said that to remind the tape. Go back. This is live, so we can't, but if we could, I would have. If we were taping this, I would delete that. Donald Trump won the way he won, precisely because he went places and talked to people that we hadn't spoken to before. Tell me I'm wrong.

The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Tell me in the chat, bought Gino one of our last polls. Yes, Charlie was right to go on the show. No, he wasn't. I'm telling you he was. Donald Trump went to the Bronx. Donald Trump was doing rallies in traditionally left-wing areas. Donald Trump got historic numbers of black, Hispanic voters, Democrats, union workers flipping over constituencies that had always gone lockstep for the left.

We're not going to convince people on the other side that our ideas are better if we're not willing to take our ideas to the other side and convince them they're better. It doesn't even make any sense. And what better time to do it than now? Listen, we have mastered The Republican Party, the MAGA movement, let me be specific. The Republicans are coming around.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
The MAGA movement has mastered the art of social media influencing, whether it's memes, whether it's videos. They have mastered this. They are so good. It's not but seconds before Democrats post cringey videos. You saw the fight one. I was going to play it today, but you've seen it a thousand times. Pick your fighter. It's AOC posing. It's ridiculous. The video is so dumb.

The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Even CNN was like, do we really need to see this right now? Of course we didn't, right? But believe it or not, here's another one. This is Democrat Rep Rosa DeLauro posting a cringe video. Now, listen to me. Here's the thing they're not telling you. You may have seen this already, but I want you to listen to the kind of the lingo she uses. I

I will bet you some young staffer went to a TikTok video and was like, hey, man, let's do like Urban Dictionary and get some cool words in here and throw them in and we'll look like we're part of the crew.

I know. I'm trying to write down. I'm trying to write down all the kind of edgy, cool lingo words. So she's the... Can you guys look this up? What is the Rizzler? Can we do this on the air? Because I really... I don't know. I've heard some of these other ones. But have you... Is the Rizzler... I hope it's not some dark triple... The Rizzler is a social media well-known... Riz face?

And thank you to Martin County Sheriff's Office for being so, so, you know what I'm saying, on top of everything. We've had a lot of, obviously, a lot of interest since the story became public, what I'll be doing next week. You guys are the best. But it was a wonderful party. It was good to see close friends. It was kind of more of an inner circle party. The guys were all there. Haley was there.

Oh, I've heard of the Riz before, like charisma. It's like short for, but if you, have you guys ever said that? Like, damn, what a show today. You're the Rizzler? I never, so we got the Rizzler. She throws Bestie in. Okay, Bestie, like best friend. I've heard my daughter say that. So we'll give her a pass on Bestie. And then she says, she quotes, main character energy. I saw this once on TikTok.

The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I found out like, this is like kind of like, you're like the guy, like the chest puffer in the room. You have main character energy. I saw one time a TikTok video and they were talking about showing up to a wedding with main character energy. And then we're not chasing the bag. We are the bag. Who's the bag? What's in the bag? Is there something in the bag I'm unaware of?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Is there an actual bag or is this just some kind of rhetorical bag I miss? But I think from now on, we will try to incorporate at least once a day in every show the term the Rizla.

Oh, is that, folks in the chat, can you help me? I know we have a lot of younger viewers. What is Skibbity? Is that supposed to mean something? Skibbity, can you mix them? Can you be like the Skibbity Rizzler bestie with main character energy holding the bag? Is that possible to put them all in one sentence or is that way too much influencer era? But you know what, Michael?

We need your esposa right now. Evita is familiar with all this stuff. She doesn't talk like that, but Evita is all over the whole culture stuff. Her and Hailey are going to be all over this stuff. They know what this is like. You got to, can you have her?

The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Can you do that? Can you have Hailey maybe this week at our 6 p.m. show? Skibbity, also called Skibbity Toilet, is a popular catchphrase. It came from a YouTube video. It has no inherent meaning, but it's often used for comedic effect. So let's see if it's funny. Hey, guys, Skibbity. Okay, it's really not. It's really not. Skibbity-doo-hoo.

Oh, Guy is, I know, Guy's like dying. He's like, I've had enough of this. Okay, okay, okay. This is one of those Leo Getz moments from Lethal Weapon 3, right? Okay, okay, okay. All right, moving on. Folks, they're singing again. Again, back to the, let's anchor this again, what this segment is about, because you know me, once I get into something, I can't stop sometimes because I find it hilarious.

They cannot get their sea legs. They are so off on the messaging, rather than getting back to the post-George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan era, when they re-anchored themselves through the Democrat Leadership Council. in mainstream kind of Democrat values. They can't do it. They're singing again. Here was an anti-Trump science rally.

I'm not sure, like, the science, like, wear your mask or take the vaccine is going to stop you from getting COVID. Here's an anti-Trump science rally in D.C. And the singing, what is with the singing? At least make it good singing. Check this out.

Remember Francis Collins? Remember him with all the emails about the Barrington Declaration during COVID, which basically said common sense that the only thing that was going to stop this was some form of herd immunity? Remember this guy? Here's Francis Collins. Listen, if you're going to sing, if you're going to sing, can we all agree? Yes or no in the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
We only got one week of chatting together left. Yes or no in the chat. I'm actually not totally against the singing, but you got to bring out people who can actually sing. You got yourself a Morgan Wallen out there? Hey, man, I may not agree. I'll listen to that. I don't want to listen to Francis Collins. Check this out. Come on.

He's like, there's no amount of studio cleanup we can do, mixing or anything else, to make that sound good. There's no auto-tune or anything.

The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Yeah, mute. Yes, that's a good point, Justin. There is actually a way to make that sound good. He's calling it the... You can't hear me talk. That's the only way to make that sound good. Folks, they cannot get their sea legs. But again, anchoring where we started in the segment, the MAGA movement is really, really good at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
And it's hilarious to listen to or read, in this case, Forbes put a headline in, Vice President J.D. Vance posts a meme of himself. He didn't even call him Vice President. He says J.D. Vance. As largely unflattering Vance memes flood social media. Unflattering? Do you have any idea how the meme game works? Listen, I'm going to tell you something. I know we laugh a lot during the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Obviously, there's a heavy dose of sarcasm. I get that. But I promise you, the things we talk about and the things that are going through my head as me and the team are putting the show together are deadly serious. The education issue, the idea of re-anchoring our government in actual science, serious stuff. But we live in a world right now where social media matters, memes and other things do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
They influence people. You may not like it, but that's where we are. There has not been a president or vice president who's understood this better than Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. No one. Vance is hilarious, and you don't have to like it, but this thing went nuclear this weekend.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
If you've ever seen Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, this, by the way, is one of my favorite memes, giffies I've ever seen on X. J.D. Vance put his face over the famous Leo face. We love this. I wish I could explain to you, if you're in the chat, what this is, but it's one of those things, guys, wouldn't you agree, you just have to be on X or Truth to see it?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
After a few times, you'll get what they're doing. I can't explain it. But if you know, you know. And this one was absolutely hilarious. Hey, can we jump ahead to just Kristi Noem on CBS? I don't want to leave the show today without getting to that. Would you mind? Okay. This is important because we're going to be discussing a lot of national security stuff this week. It obviously matters to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was on CBS. My apologies for the mic discipline. Believe me, I know. See how when I get away from the mic, you can't hear me anymore? We didn't have that in the other studio. So the reason it sounds crisp is because of what they did to manipulate the system. The downside is you really have to eat the microphone. So I even have it over here. Look, on mic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I hadn't been back there in a long time and went to Bobby Van's Steakhouse. And I got to tell you, folks, it is interesting for life to come full 180 for me, you know. Well, actually, in this case, I take that back 360. I made the mistake. I always kind of knock other people for saying 360. No, no, 360. You're back in the same spot. And I was. I had Paul and I.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Stay on the mic because I'm such an animated guy. Am I? Thank you, Guy. Wow, Guy, a compliment. I never get a compliment from Guy. He's like, you actually did a very nice job. Never. That is not a Guy thing at all. Here is Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem about tariffs and the fentanyl trafficking coming into the country.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
This stuff matters because this is the, it is a specific, what, late 1970s statue Donald Trump is using in his team, President Trump, to impose these tariffs. That's why this is important. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Folks, we're going to need some cooperation from Canada and Mexico to our north and south, respectively, in this drug fight. There's no question about it. However, Canada, just this week, just this weekend, Mark Carney, who is very liberal, took the place of Justin Trudeau. Carney came out very combative, extremely combative.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I say that because this administration, if you fell into the trap of, well, take them seriously but not literally, you're making a big mistake. whether it's Secretary Noem, whether it's President Trump or Vice President Vance, they are deadly serious about this. They want this stopped, and they're going to use every tool they have to make it stop.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Sex trafficking, drug trafficking, they're going to — you don't have to agree with it, but they're going to do it. And you have grossly, grossly misjudged their intentions if you're taking them seriously but not literally. And Carney came out unbelievably combative. He's going to say I'm protecting Canadian interests. Fine. But it's in Canadian interest to get these tariffs reduced.

used to go to Bobby Vann's when I worked in DC, and she worked down the block at this company called SIA at the time. And to go back, the steak was amazing, by the way.

years ago, so I'll be back there on Monday where I start my job. The media, again, was stunned. They were shocked. You guys saw my tweet this weekend. I had to address many media questions. Folks, they are unaware that there is a business model in the media where they sell these things called spots, sometimes known as advertisements. You guys ever heard of this model?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Justin's like, I know it's new. It's about 100 years old, so it's about five times the length of Justin's life. But they just figured that out. They just figured that out, how that works. So I addressed them in mass in a viral tweet this weekend. But thank you guys all for your patience with everything. I really appreciate it. All right, let's get to the show. So first, the Bongino rule is in...
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I don't even want to say full effect. It is in like full, full, full effect. There was a shooting at the White House involving the Secret Service. This is a Braveheart Mel Gibson hold moment. I'm going to tell you a couple of things about it. But first, here's some news coverage of what happened. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Sorry, someone told me we missed it. We missed the bell? Can't miss the bell. And then someone else in the chat said, the sound is great. Thank you. The sound is super crisp in the studio. Much different than the old office, right? That was just a converted studio. Listen, a couple of things on this. Two big takeaways. Number one, on the hold front.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Is this a suicide by cop situation where someone gets out of the car, wants to die, and intentionally creates a use of force situation where the police officer, to save their own life or someone else's, has to engage? Possibly, the evidence is certainly pointing in that direction, but I've seen so many conspiracies kind of jump up on Twitter, and the thing is, just hold.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
The information will come out over the course of the week. Let the investigators get over there and see what happened, and then we'll all formulate an opinion. Again, the Bongino rule is this. Talk about a story. I'm talking about it right now. But there's no reason to jump to some final conclusion about what happened before the data sets come in. I mean, you guys all know this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I don't want to sound like a jerk. I'm not trying to be a tool. It's just let the data come in before you figure out what the math problem says. You need the data first. So just wait a second. I get a ton of questions about this. And whenever there are use of force incidents at the White House,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
People are under this mistaken perception that the rules of engagement for Secret Service are different at the White House, and they're not. Secret Service agents and uniformed division officers, those are separate branches within the Secret Service. One's a federal investigator, 1811. One are uniformed police officers. But the rules of engagement are the exact same.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
There's no special rules of engagement there where because it's the White House, you know, it's like, you know, kill on demand thing. That's not the way it works. That's just that's not the way any of this works. That only happens in movies. So just hold. We'll take a breather on this. We'll readdress it if more stuff comes out later in the week and we'll see what really happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I'm sure as they start to dig into the background of of what this individual you know, and do like a social media scrub, we'll have an idea of what really went on, okay? So that was a big story this weekend. Also, breaking this weekend, President Trump, the winning will not stop. We are finally looking at a president, staring in the face of a president, who is transactional.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
So much to talk about. Hey, do you know when your metabolism is working properly, you can feel the benefits in literally every aspect of your life? I found a valuable tool, gives me insight to create improved metabolism for my body. It's called Lumen, L-U-M-E-N. Lumen's one of the world's first handheld metabolic coaches. It's a device that can help measure your metabolism through your breath.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I know some people don't like that. I understand there are still people in love with passionate speeches, and that's great. I like to speak passionately about stuff, too. It's fantastic. It's good to be a good speaker. I hope you think that of me. If you don't, you don't. However, President Trump speaks passionately about stuff, but make no mistake. He is a transactional businessman.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
He wants results. He sees the world as a spreadsheet. This is an issue I am passionate about, too, but I see the spreadsheets, too. What the hell is the Department of Education doing? We've been funding this entity hundreds of billions of dollars over its decades in existence, and nobody can produce a single data set showing that education's gotten better.

If there was ever an example of transactional President Trump, this is it. He doesn't want to hear your flowery fairy tales about how every single student deserves an education. Yes, he knows that. So do I. They do. But they're not getting it. Your taxpayer does. This is money taken from you, folks. It's not fake money. It's not monopoly money.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
It's not collect 250 because you were on Park Avenue, whatever it is. This is real money, real money being lost because you're shuttling it to the federal government to take a cut, to send it back to the states for programs that don't work. And nobody seems to be paying attention to it outside of the conservative movement and President Trump. I asked last week, and these guys are good.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Last week, I said, do you guys remember that story? It was from a couple of years ago. It was out of the Baltimore area, the Baltimore area media market. The story was almost unbelievable when I first saw the headline, to the point where I had to do one of those check it, check it twice things. You ever shoot on the range and make sure it's empty? Check it. Check it twice.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I had to check this one twice. Here's seven on your side, ABC, local Baltimore. 23 Baltimore schools have zero students proficient in math. State test results real. How the hell do you do that? How the hell do you have zero students? You would think by chance. This is not funny. I'm not... Justin, am I crazy?

Like by chance you would get one super genius kid in the class who even though the instruction's not going well, can at least be proficient in math, right? Maybe he figured it out at home. Maybe they use the Khan Academy or something like that. How the hell do you have 23 schools with a donut, zero students proficient in math?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
It almost, like the level of failure, right? You're like, how did they do that? Michael, it's almost like they were trying. It's like, how do we get every single kid, every single kid to not be, we're not talking about excelling. We're just talking about like basic proficiency. How do you do that? Is this intentional? What are you doing?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
I told you when I ran for office in Maryland, there was this guy, he was not a Republican, by the way, but he met with us, and he said, Dan, you're looking at this all wrong. You think that a lot of these administrators and people in the education bureaucracy care about the kids. I said, well, I hope they do. He said, they don't. He said, it is a jobs program for them, and that is it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
He said, that's all they see it as. How do I maintain my employment and my raises, and that's it. I gotta tell you, I still remember that conversation. Folks, the left has been entirely collapsing. Moving on here. You know, I have this theory of what happened in the Donald Trump era for the left, not us. We're really good at analyzing our situation. We're getting better at diagnosing the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
But one of the things I've been talking about for years now is this kind of show your butts theory of politics for the left, where this is important. I want you to understand this, because none of this segment is going to make any sense if you don't understand the mechanics of how this works. There's always been rage at Republicans. I mean, you guys remember. You're not that old.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
With George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, the Democrats, I understand, but on the other side of the political aisle, have always engaged in kind of viscerally personal politics with Republicans. Remember that whole George W. Bush, you know, blood for oil, he's trying to kill us, all that kind of thing. Mitt Romney, the binder's full of women and all that stuff. But can we all agree there is nothing
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
Nothing you've ever seen like the rage directed at Donald Trump. So what's the show your butts theory? Well, no one wants to see anybody. No one wants to see that. But the Democrats continue to do it. I was trying to explain this to Guy beforehand because he wanted to cut a piece out of the show. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. This is exactly where I'm going with this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Left Can't Meme And Can't Win (Ep. 2438)
The show your butts theory is this. You've got these Democrats showing the ugly side of them all the time. And you're like, why are they doing that? People don't know. They're like, oh, my gosh, I don't want to see it. Why do you keep doing it? It's because they can't stop. There's this perpetual rage machine on the left that just reviles Donald Trump.

So what winds up happening is the Democrats are engaging in a repeated pattern of behavior that is counterproductive to their end goal of getting votes and approval from the public. But they have to one-up each other each time. Does that make sense? You show your part, I'm gonna show my, I'm gonna show you everything. They can't stop, they have to constantly win up each other.

It is the exact opposite of transactional Donald Trump. Donald Trump sees the world as spreadsheets and business. The left is so involved in the passion of it that they feel like in order to get TV time and donors, that whoever does something crazy, they have to do something crazier.

The federal government steals your money in the form of excessive tax payments. They're using these tax payments to fund this organization that has done everything in its power to fund anti-American censorship activities and regime change around the world. And they don't want you to see it. That's why they're freaking out. And these two lunatics want people arrested for figuring out.

Here's Politico. They had to get involved too. Activist judges are making up law now. Judge orders sweeping restrictions on Doge access to sensitive treasury payment systems. This isn't even real. This judge, air quotes, just made this up. Did you read the ruling? They don't even really cite any kind of law or anything. He makes up some connection to the administrative procedures.

This is just a fairy tale. This is how desperate they are to stop this thing, to stop you from seeing the money trail and where your money went.

The last hour is available on Locals if you want to sub. OK, or you can just listen on your local radio station. Folks, your government has been using your money to censor and engage in regime change around the world. It is not a conspiracy theory. It's not a bad Will Smith movie. This is actually happening. I'm going to show it to you right now in just one small case how this works.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
I want you to listen to this first. Here is a USAID-funded operation. It's called Internews. It's Internews, air quotes. It's everything you think it is. USAID, there's been some funds here that have been cross-pollinated with Internews. Here is the head of Internews, Gian Bergolt, whatever. I'm sorry for saying your name. It's not intentional. I don't really care.

So if you follow the money, multiple chapters worth of it, you will see your money has been used to fund these exclusion lists and censorship regimes disguised as disinformation for years, if not decades now. You ever wonder if you have a conservative website how programmatic ad CPMs are really low?
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
Yet you go to a liberal website that promotes ridiculous conspiracy theories like the collusion hoax, and they seem to be doing fine. Did you ever wonder how that happened? Your tax dollars funded it, bro. That's how it happened. People got rich off this, censoring you. These organizations got millions in your money to censor you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
It's hilarious, by the way, how this lady says, we need to follow the money. That's exactly what Elon's doing. Don't follow the money to us. I want you to listen to this here. This is really important. This is Samantha Power. Samantha Power is a huge deep state swamp rat of the highest order. She is an Obama Clintonista acolyte. She has been knee deep in tremendous political scandals.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
And I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way. Here is Samantha Power when she was USAID administrator on, quote, I want you to listen to this, on influencing, quote, strategically important elections. Notice how I laid this out. I played for you the inter-news lady talking about exclusion lists, who has a tie to this, they have a tie to this money flow.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
So we're talking about censorship and regime change, which your tax dollars funded. Here's the regime change component. USAID basically admitting it under Samantha Power. Listen to this.

A coalition for securing election integrity for strategically important elections. That's code word for how do we steal elections. They did the same thing here. Your money is funding. Keep the two points in mind. Light it up in the chat. Your money is funding two things. And this is why they're freaking out. Censorship of you, which they need to do. They can't have you speaking out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
And regime change because they don't want fair elections. Because then what do you get? You get a Donald Trump. Where am I going with this Samantha Power thing? Folks, Samantha Power is knee deep in the Obama-Biden decades plus long corruption scheme, okay? Do you remember this scandal about Samantha Power?
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
Keep in mind, she was knee deep in USAID and all this money and influencing elections, regime change, right? The Hill, look at the date on this. Remember The Hill and John Solomon parted ways because John Solomon was exposing a bunch of stuff and then he left and departed. The Hill issued something. We're sorry for his work or whatever kind of crap.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
This is why Solomon and them probably didn't go move forward. Unmask her in chief, Samantha Power. Damn, that's the same woman we just saw. Yes, it is. spewed anti-Trump bias in government emails. The date's 2019.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
Quote, it turns out Samantha Power, the diplomat whose authority inexplicably was used to unmask hundreds of Americans' names in secret intelligence reports during the 2016 election, engaged in similar Trump bashing on her official email. Unmasking. You guys know what unmasking is? Do you remember? again, wrote about this in multiple books here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
What the government was doing is it was using the foreign intelligence database the FBI and others had access to that was supposedly designed, this is why I hate FISA law so much in 702 and can't stand it when it's abused. They were using the database to designed to spy on foreign terrorists. Fine, okay, whatever. I don't want terrorist attack in the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
They have no constitutional rights. They're foreigners overseas. But if you were talking to an American, they have to unmask your identity. What the hell was Samantha Power's name being used to unmask a bunch of people? You know what reverse targeting is, folks? It's when, say, Michael's talking to someone overseas, and you don't really care about the person overseas. You care about Michael.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
So you pretend you're targeting the person overseas, and then you unmask Michael and go, oh, look what happened. Look what we found out. You understand the Obama team was using unmasking to spy on Americans, using this FISA loophole of unmasking to uncover their political enemies and other people like this. That's what the whole collusion hoax was about. Trump knows about all of this.

They're protecting Obama with this USAID money. They are unmasking U.S. citizens. using aid money and everything. These are the same people. These scandals are all related, folks. All of them.

Have you seen the news lately? Some economists forecasting a depression, not a recession by 2030. We could be in a perfect storm if Social Security, entitlements, and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. A smaller workforce usually means a smaller tax base. Pair that with the growing national debt, a rising cost of living, and we got a big problem.

I am begging you to invoke it now. Folks, this appears to me from having been a law enforcement officer myself to be just a standard criminal complaint anyone can make.

They are some explosive allegations, but without hardcore evidence to back it up.

Can we include a rationale for payments so we know what the government's paying people for? He wants to know if we can put a do not pay list. So this is crazy, folks.

The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
Because it's matched by their ability to take your money. And I'll cover this tomorrow. Government payments are taxes, either through the form of inflation. That's why they'll never stop them. The government needs to suck money out of the private economy. If it goes to terrorists or dead people, they don't give a shit.

You guys make me laugh. And ladies, I mean guys generically, you know? You get what I'm saying? I'm not like a liberal. We don't need to make the distinction. Margaret Brennan from CBS. is moving at such a rapid pace in the dopey media talking head Olympics. I've never seen this kind of thing in my life. It kind of reminds me of Rocky IV. Like, Rocky was retired. He wasn't even doing anything.

Here is Margaret Brennan for like the third weekend in a row making an utter ass out of herself in front of a national television audience with Senator Bill Hagerty claiming, we're not funding sex changes and gender identity stuff in Guatemala.

I'm serious. Take a second and think about that. Do you actually believe people like Bernie Sanders and others would continue doing what they're doing if they weren't getting rich doing it? I'm dead serious. Okay, no, no, no, thank you. Pacino is shutting down. You guys are shutting the chat down. Folks, there's money in communism. Dan, that's backwards. No, I'm telling you the truth.

For the dumbasses out there on the left going, the government spends $6 trillion, $40 billion, $10 billion, $40 billion. That's not a lot of money. Really? Kamala's entire presidential campaign was $1.5 billion. You're telling me $40 billion a year, you can't change global politics? Give me a break, bro. You guys remember this from Maria Bartiromo's show?
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
Here's a clip, a real journalist, Maria Bartiromo, unlike this dipshit Margaret Brennan, right? Maria Bartiromo had James Comer on. I want you to listen to the amount of payments Comer found going to the Biden family. Damn, why are we talking about the Biden family? Because it's not about the Biden family.
The Dan Bongino Show
Following The Money In This Growing Scandal (Ep. 2419)
The Biden family is a small piece of corrupt politicians making bank and getting rich off your tax dollars and places like USAID that launder it. That's why the amounts here are stunning. of global payment flows flowing to all of these people. I'm not telling you these payments are from USAID. These are from China and other places.

You've got people out there right now, including my congressman in this district. His name's Brian Mast. He has no legs. He didn't lose them to infection. He didn't lose them to gangrene or athlete's foot. He had his legs blown off. You know where? Across the nice ocean in a foreign land by a bomb that he was trying to defuse. So you just may want to reevaluate that perspective.

Kind of hard to get back to plus one, minus one when I hear something like that. When I heard him say that, I'll tell you, I asked producer Jim, because it was all happening live on the radio show.

Here is President Zelensky discussing the future relationship with President Trump, suggesting it can be salvaged. Again, without some kind of rapprochement here and some recognition of what happened in the Oval Office, I'm not so sure that's the case, but check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
There's a lot going on there. And by the way, this apology that I'm suggesting is not an apology for the sake of an apology. It's not some kind of chest puffing thing. Zelensky needs to understand that the American people are a very diverse group of people with different views on Ukraine. You're asking President Trump to sell the American people on a continued vision of support.

Start getting the best night of sleep of your life tonight. Thank you, Beam. Okay, so folks, there's something going on here. President Zelensky needs to understand, as I said before the break, that we are a constitutional republic. We are not a direct democracy. A constitutional republic is a form of a representative democracy. In other words, in a direct democracy, people vote on everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Everything. It's not a practical way to run a country this size. So our founders chose this other system, a republic, which is a beautiful system. We love it. But it's a form of representative democracy. It means, however, that there needs to be the political will to do something. People in the United States voters, by the way, in both parties, more Republican than Democrat.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
And, you know, cue up that Harry M thing. I'm going to play that next. Go ahead and order a little bit. I'll show you the polling on this. You need the political will to keep this going because this country operates by consent of the governed. So Zelensky needs to understand that, that what happened in the Oval was a disaster.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I don't care what the media says, right-leaning media or left-leaning media. There are so many people, just go to Twitter. There are so many people upset about this. Just look on Twitter. I mean, it's not an official polling sample. I'll get you that in a second in case you think I'm just throwing Twitter examples out there. The polling behind this is not great either. He needs to understand that.

He's putting President Trump in a bad position. But second, there's a threat in this, too, with the nice ocean thing. I was just kind of discussing this with Aviva. What's going on here, and you're seeing with this class picture, you know, VO that if you could, the class picture of President Zelensky visiting the EU and other European Union countries afterwards, which is fine.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
This is not a problem, by the way. This is great. But the implied threat here, especially from the EU, which you've seen with Germany and others, which shouldn't happen, is, hey, you know what? We don't need you guys. We're kind of going to do our own thing. Well, I'm not sure that's the case here. I'm not sure that's the case.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
This is a problem that's been addressed, by the way, by Republican and Democrat lawmakers under Republican and Democrat presidents in the past where there's been this schism. You can look it up between old and new Europe. They don't all feel the same way. You are going to need us. And yes, we need you too. The European Union is a massive trading partner for the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
You can't think about this with simple minds. But you've seen it, especially if you view the commentary from Germany and others, and even out of France. There's this kind of implied threat that not only is there this new Europe, old Europe, but there's a new U.S., old U.S., and a new U.S. we don't need as much. You absolutely are going to need us. But this is your backyard.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
That's just a geographic fact. It's not an insult to the EU countries. This is your backyard. Russia is a bigger geographic problem location-wise for you than it is for us. It's still a problem for us. We get that. But we need you to step up. The security umbrella for the United States has been a generational thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
obviously a thing for us through NATO and other alliances, but you need the political will to keep it going. Here's CNN, again, in case you think I'm making this up. This is why this apology and a repairing of this relationship, if it's even possible, is going to have to start from Zelensky and Ukraine. You got to develop the support with the American people before President Trump moves.

Folks, receipts matter, okay? Evidence matters. We are in a republic. You get the point. You have to build political capital for these things. I'm not sure Zelensky understood that, as people may have, but he made a catastrophic error here. Here's Marco Rubio, which again, plus ones, minus ones. I think he did an amazing job explaining this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Here's Rubio, Secretary Rubio, just about a week ago, explaining why President Trump is upset with Zelensky. For those out there putting out the narrative that this was some planned assault on Zelensky in the Oval Office, that's just not true. I'm telling you from multiple sources, multiple sources. I've read publicly, by the way. That was not the intention of the Oval Office meeting.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
It was just to sign the deal. It was Zelensky who turned it negative with the Nice Oceans comment and then suggesting that diplomacy, questioning J.D.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Number one, President Trump knows that there may not be the political will in this republic right now for a direct security guarantee. Follow me here. In other words, we will put U.S. troops on the ground. He understands for many of you, I'm reading your chat comments right now, that that's a no-go. So he understands this is going to have to be messaged. That's what happens in politics.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
So did you hear what Rubio said there, Secretary Rubio? Well, if we can engage in this joint venture where at least the American people feel like they're being paid back for their efforts with these critical rare earth minerals, which are called rare earth minerals because they're rare, what he's saying is, did you hear what he said there?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
That we have a security interest then in preserving this economic benefit, which will assist both countries. Do you get kind of the winky, winky, nod, nod? where Zelensky must have missed this somehow. And then the second part, Secretary Rubio is crystal clear, referencing, quote, the American taxpayer.

Brilliant interview.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Sometimes this international diplomacy in front of the camera, like you just showed with Secretary Rubio, is best conducted by saying things without saying them. Do you get what I'm saying? Zelensky didn't understand that. He just said it. And you never got in trouble for things you didn't say. The best advice I ever got in media, which applies in diplomacy as well,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
There's an expletive in it, but whatever. Nobody ever got in trouble for shutting them up, okay? You never get in trouble for something you don't say. Major, major diplomatic disaster for him. And a lot of people, a lot of people out there were very, very proud of the president and vice president for standing up for the interests of our country. Can't let that happen in our Oval Office.

Let the experts at Birch Gold help you secure your future today with gold message and data rates reply. So, thank you, Birch Gold. This is one of my favorite cuts of the day, maybe my favorite in a while here. Here's a GB News anchor, Matthew Goodwin. He's explaining the Trump and Ukraine situation to a BBC panel, and he really seems to get what's going on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
If you blind yourself, if you can, if it's possible, to the subjective I hate Trump nonsense on the left, and you really try to figure out what really happened, you know this gentleman, Matthew Goodwin, is right. Check this out.

The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Folks in the chat, come on, give me some feedback. Are you feeling about that audio video clip like I am? That guy just nail it? You see what he's saying? Exactly what I told you before. Obviously, we have an interest in what happens in Russia, Ukraine, all over the world. The United States has relationships everywhere. The question is not do we have an interest or not.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
It's who has a greater interest. And this GB News guest, Matthew Goodman, just nails it. To Germany and other countries in the EU, that is right there. Russia is there. You have countries over there that are... This is your actual geopolitical backyard. And he mentions Germany.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
This is a really significant problem where you have this green movement in Germany, which has gotten away and into all these green New Deal type technologies, many of them which require electrification of the economy, electrification of their vehicle fleet. You see their Volkswagen struggling over there. Other German companies, they get away from gas, diesel powered cars, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
And what's the problem? They require a lot of these cars, rare earth minerals, lithium and other things, which ironically, they're going to have to rely on places like China to get. So it's really hard for folks like Matthew, me and others to accept the lecture on defending democracy when you're moving your economy in a green direction that depends more on the CCP. Anyone dispute that?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Folks, the left in this country and around the world does not. I suggest you kind of lick your finger and see where the political winds are going. Because the Schatz Doctrine, named for Senator Brian Schatz, who is a Democrat. The Schatz Doctrine. of continue to do liberal stuff and just talk about it differently is not going to work.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Because doing that stuff leads to X outcome, and X outcome is not good. Here's what I mean. They just don't seem to have gotten the electoral lesson that came out of 2024. Here's Governor J.D. Pritzker. He seems to think that messaging is the problem. That's not what I just said to you. The point I'm trying to make is you can talk however you want about a policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
You can use whatever euphemisms you want. Say defund the police. You can talk about it how Joe Biden did when he was running for office where he said, whatever is it, reallocating funds. Talk about it however you want. In the end, it results in the destruction of local police forces because you're moving money away from enforcing crime in the street. You can talk about that all you want.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Eventually crime is going to go up. It's not a messaging problem. It's a policy problem. I'll prove it to you in a second. Listen to this clip first from J.D. Pritzker, and you'll see how this is going to be a huge problem for the Democrats going forward. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I'm debating whether to do one next Monday because a lot of stuff I'll be doing on the weekend will be professional stuff, which I'm not really going to talk about, of course. So this weekend, I went out and spent a good amount of time with a friend in a local restaurant, Blackbird. And I got to tell you, folks, there were a lot of members out there of the Bongino Army who said the nicest things.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
That's your argument right now? You really believe raising the minimum wage is what's going to alter the trajectory of the Democrat Party, which lost all seven swing states? Come on. You can't be serious about that. This is not a stupid guy, okay? Policy-wise, ideologically, the guy could not be more wrong. But this is not a... He doesn't really believe this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Folks, I said I was going to explain this. If you really believe that, and you're J.D. Pritzker, right? Governor Pritzker. If you really believe that it's a messaging problem and not a policy problem, then why do you keep using euphemisms to describe your policy problems? Why not just talk about them directly? If the policies are so popular, then why are you so concerned about the messaging?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I'll give you a quick example. When the MAGA crowd talks about tax cuts, that's exactly what we mean. There's no euphemisms for it. No one talks about it like a financial haircut on the marginal tax rate side and the income band. People don't talk like that. They say, yeah, we like tax cuts. Why? Because we want the American people to spend more of their money. You can message it all you want.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
The policy's popular. It's a huge mistake. President Trump, again, has a unique way to cut through this. He put up this true social post. We should spend less time worrying about Putin and more time worrying about migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our country so that we don't end up like Europe.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I mean, this is what, he's not saying Putin's not a problem. He said that many times. He's just suggesting to you that there are issues that bleed for the American people. meaning they feel them. They feel them every day, like actually feel them. You know, I hate the word literally. I keep saying it because I hate the word so much. It's ironic that I keep saying it. Get it out of your head.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
These things, inflation, which has been a four plus year problem we've been dealing with, it's not going to be solved overnight. I've said that many times. The border, which is just open border, which has ravaged American communities. These are the kind of things that are directly impacting the lives of the American people.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
If you really believe on the left in this Schatz doctrine, that keep doing left-wing stuff like men in the women's room and men in girls' sports, people are going to notice. Then this happened this weekend. This is absolutely unexplainable. These are a series of Boston officials, including the mayor. There was this attack this weekend by a suspect with a knife. Off-duty police officer engages.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Now, you would think, number one, you'd at least let the investigation kind of materialize and the facts come out. Apply the Bongino rule, right? Facts matter. Before you made a public comment about it. But imagine being the leader of a great city like Boston.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
And coming out in front of the cameras and your first comments are to express condolences to the suspect in the case with the knife rather than what appears to be a rather heroic incident by people involved, including heroism by the off-duty police officer. Your first comments are condolences for the other guy? No, this actually happened. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I could not believe it. Matter of fact, one of the guys I was with said, Dan, I counted 13 people in the first five minutes. So to everyone who came up and said hello and expressed their gratitude and congratulations on this new job and new endeavor I'm going to take on, I just want you to know I deeply appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Justin just said to me, Dan, you know, every time conservatives and Republicans send thoughts and prayers, which they mean, we're actually thinking about people and we pray for them. Yes, we do pray for people. I do it all the time. Matter of fact, I asked for your prayers and guidance going forward. And I'm not even remotely ashamed about that and never will. I'm actually proud of that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I thought they didn't like thoughts and prayers. But when it comes to a suspect in the case, in a violent crime, quote, all of their condolences, that was the mayor, all go to the suspect. Folks, I don't, you know, the interesting part about this show is this whole life change event happens for me. I enjoy doing the commentary. I'm going to miss it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
But the commentary part is in addition to the substance. The substance is just easy to find. In other words, I don't need to make up what the mayor of Boston said. I can just play it like that actually happened. Right. Right. What about the guy? You know, what about the off-duty police officer? By the way, was off-duty. Didn't ask for any of this. What about that person?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
When we were going through the rundown, I said, this one's really hard to believe. Again, going back to the, just to tie this back to Zelinsky in the beginning, you never get in trouble for things you don't say. Maybe just best to say, we're still gathering the facts. It's a terrible incident. We will report as they come in, but here's what we know so far. Maybe just stick to that. Just an idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Here's the Massachusetts governor, Mary Healy, talking about, I mean, Massachusetts is a wonderful state. You ever been up there? Boston and New York, they have this baseball rivalry. But I'm going to tell you, having worked with many Boston Secret Service agents in my last line of work, the greatest guys. You all know who you are, too. I mean, there was a crew of them, and they were the best.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Massachusetts is a great state. Boston's an amazing city. But imagine being represented by Governor Healy. who is being overrun again by sanctuary city illegal immigration policies. They support the liberals over there. And then blaming Republicans for using immigration as a scare tactic.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
You see the fake kind of 180 they're trying to do here to flip the argument and tell you a story rather than a story. It's not a scare tactic. It's real. There are actually criminal aliens in our cities like Boston doing bad stuff. Listen to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
It wasn't a huge, big weekend, but the next night we went to Lenora's, which is a Palm City restaurant, Italian. Folks, you know the deal. With a last name like Bongino, I'm very sensitive about Italian food. You would be stunned how many Italian food places can't actually do Italian food. Justin just said amen, and his last name is Belial, which is in no way Italian at all. Are you?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I find this line of reasoning, by the way, I don't want to forget this. I got an Adam Schiff thing coming up. It's not part of the show, guys. Don't worry about it. I just thought about it. I find this line of reasoning anywhere ranging from absurd to ridiculous. It was a stunt. Well, what was the stunt?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
When did the buses and the Martha's Vineyard incident from Florida regarding illegal immigrants, when did that happen? Folks in the chat, who was the president? Okay, it was Joe Biden. So I don't understand what the stunt was. If you were so proud of the open border, you did nothing to solve that. By the way, President Trump solved in less than 30 days. Just look at the numbers.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I thought you couldn't solve it. If you were so proud of the open border, which you were, you publicly said one thing, but behind the scenes, make no mistake, you did everything you could to facilitate the flow of people violating the law into the country. If you were so proud of it, then I don't understand why it was a stunt
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
To take some of those people from a congested, illegal immigrant population in Texas, geographically on the border, and relocate them into places where you say you want them. Sanctuary cities and elsewhere. I don't understand what the stunt is. I'm not trying to be an asshole. I'm just telling you, what's the stunt? Seriously, what's the stunt? You should celebrate this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Why were the citizens of Martha's Vineyard and elsewhere so eager to remove people they said they supported? The stunt was only on your end, not on our end. We just highlighted what you were doing, opening the border. You say you're a sanctuary city. Provide sanctuary. Why should Texas have to support everyone? They don't have the resources. I said I was going to address this, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
It was interesting this weekend. I was sitting around and you guys see the video at Adam Schiff put out. Incredible. I mean, you want to talk about the nerve, a guy knee deep in the collusion hoax, the laptop hoax, a bunch of documented frauds on the American people.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
puts out a video uh he seems very upset about what's happening with me and my career and moving on and it was interesting he took some cuts of the show so uh yeah he took some actual cuts of the show which were actually pretty good cuts too so you know uh i'm just gonna say again that people reaching out that uh i have a show i'm proud of the show i love my show and uh
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I guess we have a lot of new guests today, too. People apparently watching this, you get a lot of media people. So I still have a couple opportunities here to slide in some political opinions. And yeah, I'm proud of my show, what we did. So feel free to use them. We can do like super cuts and everything like that. Maybe music videos if you want to throw some music in there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I'm going to play this other cut for you because here's another. Yeah, feel free. I'm not much of a singer, but we try. Here's Hakeem Jeffries. Again, this is another one. Talking about a leader of the Democrats, of course, on the House side. Talking about Republicans in this parade of horribles. The only party putting out there a parade of horribles. Grandma's going to die.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I don't buy it. I think it's all French. So he's actually as much Italian as I am. My mother was Irish and German. But the food was amazing. Thank you for the hospitality. But here's where it gets interesting. So I go out the same night, Saturday night, and I went to a Bailey Zimmerman concert. And Bailey tore it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Young kids are going to die. Diseases are going to run rampant. Puppies are going to die. Are the Democrats. But watch him do this euphemisms 180 flip-a-roo here and try to pretend it's us doing this as we repair all the damage done in the last four years. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Parade of horribles? What parade of horribles? I'm unsure. Listen, I'm going to be candid with you, okay, where we are. Inflation is a persistent problem. We should not do what they did to us and pretend inflation wasn't an issue when it's a Democrat. And I'd be like, oh, Donald Trump did it. He's in office 30 days.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I said to you before the election, and I'll say now, it is a difficult problem to solve. There is a ton of U.S. debt out there. The money supply is rather large. If Fed policy is integrated with this, it's not an easy problem. Been totally candid with you. The border, however, yes, we still are suffering through four years of an open border and millions of people in the country illegally.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
The border problem. Nothing's ever solved, but it's as close to fixed as you're ever going to see. Just look at the numbers. It's only been 30 days. So what parade of horribles are you talking about? Help is coming for law enforcement. You can see with the direction Secretary Noem and others are taking, Director Patel, me in the coming weeks. Deadly serious about keeping this homeland safe. A.G.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Pambondi, this is how this is going to go down. So what parade of horribles are you talking about? Only parade of horribles is coming through you. All right, folks, thanks again for tuning in. We'll be on the radio show today. It's on Rumble at noon in just a few minutes. If you want to watch that, it's rumble.com slash Bongino. Make sure you give Evita's show a follow. In the 9 a.m.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
hour, rumble.com slash Evita, E-V-I-T-A. She tore it up this morning. You met Haley. I hope you liked her. You're going to love her show going forward. Launching stat, I will give you a date. I'll give you a URL on Rumble. Coming very, very, very soon. You can check out updates at silverlock.com, silver L-O-C-H. That is Haley Karania. Glad you met her.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
And folks, thank you to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office for providing a little blanket of security out there. And the guys, I really deeply appreciate it. It was really nice. We had so many nice people. So it means a lot to me. So there's one of my last weekend updates was our, why did we go to a concert this weekend?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
And you know I'm never late for the show, but she filled it anyway. That was my idea, by the way. Am I a little crazy? Shouldn't I not have done that? I called Michael yesterday. I'm like, Michael, what do you think of this? He's like, yeah, go for it, man. It's your show. Do what you want. Thanks for tuning in, folks. See you on the radio show here in a little bit.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
And back here live tomorrow at 11 a.m. Eastern time. See you then. You just heard the Dan Bongino Show.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Well, Paula had bought the tickets a long time ago and it's probably our last weekend before we got to get really start digging into stuff. So I really, really appreciate everything. All right, I got a big show to get through today. So obviously the big monster story, the level nine story on a one to 10 scale is what happened in the Oval Office last week on, was it Friday? Folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
The Friday, I'm actually stunned. The what we call VOD in the business video on demand viewing of my show was as high as it was, because if you all remember the Trump Zelensky blow up happened after my podcast on Friday. So obviously not being the Stygian witches, you know, give me the eye. I had no ability to see that was going to happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I mean, we knew it was scheduled, but no one knew this thing was going to blow up. So I was expecting the VOD to collapse because everybody would want to watch what happened after the podcast. We did pretty well, but we got to cover some of it live on the radio. And now taking it all in, Bongino rule. Folks, this was just an unquestionable catastrophe for President Zelensky. Let me tell you why.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Upfront, what we call bluff, right? Bottom line, upfront. The golden rule of negotiations, or if you want to always sound smart like John Bolton says it, negotiations. I don't care how you say it. I'm just going to tell you this. Whether it's a legal case, a civil suit, a baseball player's contract, or you're negotiating for military support in a tragic war, the golden rule is this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Know who's sitting across the table from you. And I don't know if Zelensky just didn't know that Donald Trump is not to be toyed with or if he did know and just took bad advice. There's a story out there I'm applying the Bongino rule to that a group of Democrats and kind of center-leaning Republicans told Zelensky to go in there and play hardball with President Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I'm applying the Bongino rule to that story before I draw a conclusion. It doesn't matter, though. It is your job as the president of a country fighting in this tragic war, no doubt, with all too much death and destruction. It is your job to know who's sitting across the table. He didn't. Clearly tried the tactic of one-upping Donald Trump and it didn't work. However, astonishingly, it got worse.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
President Zelensky did an interview after with Brett Baier from Fox after the blow up and still at least appears to imply here or say directly, you know, your own interpretation matters, that he doesn't need to apologize to President Trump and by proxy the American people, too. Check it out. Listen yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Look at that. Thank you, Haley. So good to have you. Hey, there you go. What an introduction. Of course, I was not late. I asked Haley to do that. They leave me a little note. Look at these guys. Can you read that? Plug in IFB because Michael was so afraid. You love her already? So this morning, let me give you a little kind of inside baseball.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
All right. OK, a couple of things here, a couple of takeaways, because I want to focus on not just the emotions surrounding this. Again, I tell you guys all the time and I want to be a fraud or a hypocrite or a phony. It's my biggest fear. You can't be a spreadsheets guy. Hey, man, plus ones or minus ones are people to us. Plus ones or minus ones don't get emotional and then get emotional.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Obviously, I'm very emotional about this topic because I care about our military. I care about our $30 trillion debt. I care about preventing a nuclear war because I don't want to get dead and I don't want anyone else to get dead either. But let's try to pull the emotion out of it because a lot of people are very angry at President Zelensky and what happened. Why are they angry?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I'll make two points. Number one, he just kind of admitted what he did wrong without admitting what he did wrong. You folks in the chat, did you catch it? By the way, Haley, I told Haley, she know the rule, Justin, what's the rule if you're in the studio? everything's fair game. You're in the studio. You're fair. You don't want to be mentioned. Get out of the studio.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Cause once I see you, there's no control. Even if you ask me, there's no controlling it. Folks. I don't even know where I was going with that. Oh, the media's. Oh, you got to interact. That's what I was going to say. Haley, you got to interact with the chat. They're here for you. I know you know that, but so we stopped someone here. Yeah. Yeah. You got to go. You have to interact with the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
So M Torres 61 in the chat is obviously very upset. Shut the spigot off. A lot of people, but for a second, divorce the emotions. Spreadsheets. He just admitted what the problem was. Did you catch it? He said, we really should handle this stuff out of the media. Whoa. Evita, you let the chair flow back or something like that? That's never happened. I was expecting the chair to stop me.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I'm glad I didn't go back harder. That might have been an incident. That might have been a great clip. He just said it. Don't handle this in front of the media, which he tried to handle in front of the media. So keep in mind, again, point one here. He admits that's a problem and says, then I don't think I need to apologize. But here's the problem, folks. He went into the Oval Office.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
The deal for the rare earth minerals deal, which was a win for everyone. Keep this in mind. The deal had already been agreed to. All President Zelensky had to do was go in the Oval Office. Here, I have this. What pen is this? Here, this is a paper made, I don't know, 25 cents. Who knows? Inflation, probably $75 for the last four years of that. All he had to do was sign the deal.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
But that's not what he did. He went into the Oval Office with a deal already pre-agreed to and tried to negotiate it in front of the media while acknowledging in a later interview that he shouldn't have negotiated in front of the media while also acknowledging or saying that he didn't do anything wrong. But you did. You just said it. What was he negotiating for? Folks, this is important.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Haley came in this morning and we wanted to run through kind of, you know, they call them like a sizzle reel in the business. Where, you know, she goes out and she just kind of does, you know, does her thing. So she's playing and reading through the script. And I was like, this is your shot, man. Just, you know, we can do a few runs if you want. And boom! First time, Zeus lightning bolts.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
This involves very, very serious consequences if we get all this wrong. You've got a nuclear-powered enemy invading a foreign country. People are dying. This is serious stuff. There's not time for sarcasm or humor or anything like that. Folks, he wanted a security guarantee from the United States, which had not been pre-negotiated.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
You don't negotiate that then in front of the media with a Belgian Malinois and a pit bull. You just don't, President Trump and J.D. Vance. You just don't do that. It is incredibly disrespectful. So for all of the folks in the media, both on the center-right and the left-wing media that are criticizing President Trump and Vice President Vance,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Are you aware of what happened or are you just ignoring it? Because it's fascinating how in the articles where you criticize President Trump and Vice President Vance, you acknowledge that this shouldn't have happened in front of the media. It did happen in front of the media and you don't renegotiate a deal with cameras on in the Oval Office. So that's point number one.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
He acknowledges in the Bret Baier interview, we shouldn't have done this in front of the media, but I don't apologize. You can't have it both ways. You understand? Divorce the emotions. That was an unquestioned negative one for everyone involved. And it is without a doubt, I place the blame there on President Zelensky for the reasons I just laid out. You can disagree with him. That's fine.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
I still have my political opinion hat on for a couple of weeks. You're allowed to have a different one. It's a free country. The second takeaway is Folks, I found Evita. I don't know if you... Evita's in the studio too here today after her amazing show this morning. But rumble.com slash Evita, by the way, for her show. I found this part to be the most offensive.

The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
Now, again, I'm trying to divorce the emotions, but... You know, having lost an uncle that I was not alive when he died, but in Vietnam who died heroically, you can read his story. His name is Gregory Ambrose. He was shot in the back rescuing his friends. He was shot in the back, not in Tuscaloosa. He was shot in the back in a place called Thu Duc, Vietnam.

The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
So when heroes like my uncle and my grandfather, who made it back from World War II but named my father John after his battle buddy in World War II died in the Battle of the Bulge, I find it a little bit offensive When a president of a foreign country, we have provided untold intelligence, weaponry, hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money we're working for.

The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
When you come into the Oval Office and you say, quote, there's a nice ocean between us. Yeah, it's a beautiful ocean that's been crossed many times. by heroic American military men, women, and support personnel, many who've been left six feet under the ground, buried in graves across that ocean.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
So I'm really sorry, man, but you going into the Oval Office and talking about a nice ocean as if the United States has been sitting on its ass for 200 years, not saving the world over and over and over again, while our kids and our young men come home in body bags, if they come home at all, ah, I think you should really seriously reevaluate that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
That is such historical naivete to the point where it's really hard for the first time in a while for me to not be a hypocrite here and incorporate emotions into this. You want to talk about a minus one? There's a nice ocean between us. Did you miss the whole Reagan negotiation? By the way, the entire collapse of the Soviet empire happened which decimated Ukraine. The famine, look it up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
She's like, you want me to do it over? Justin, what did we sit there and do afterwards? We're like, no! Yeah. No, no. I'm like, no, no, doing that over. First time. I'm telling you, man, we got to, we really, I don't, I don't do a ton of things great, but one thing I do well, I have an incredible, I'm an incredible judge of talent.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
In case you're someone who doesn't like me and you're historically naive, look up what happened to Ukraine with the famine. That wasn't us. That was the Soviet Union. Why is the Soviet Union no more? Anybody know? Because of us. Because of what we did. Because of what Reagan did. And presidents before and after. It wasn't just Reagan. We were the ones who,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Explosive White House Meeting That Changed Everything (Ep. 2434)
who through significant military buildup and fighting and death and destruction around the world, we were the ones who did that. So President Zelensky, you don't have to listen to me. I'm not a citizen of your country. I'm not a political advisor. I'm not even a political person at all in a couple of weeks. I'm just telling you as an American citizen,

Donald Trump's greatest power is that he can't run again and already knows what to do because he understands the F-ing and everyone else is going to F-O. Now you're seeing it right now. The Washington Post is so flipped out about what Donald Trump is doing that now they're calling for mercy? He's laughing. This is an actual headline. Washington Post, Colbert I. King.

The mercy that's missing from the White House. You want mercy now? There's no mercy. We're not the mercy. Folks, this is people's elbow. There's no mercy time. Now, I want to be clear. I would never, ever, ever recommend to anyone because I'm an actual constitutionalist, that anyone violate the Constitution or their own morality while they're in office to do things. You don't do that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
That is a dispositive period full stop statement, okay? However, using the levers of government to right a wrong that happened to America under the Donald Trump four year out of office period where he was ruthlessly targeted by a corrupt government, that is the government's job. Mercy? This is a tactical matter. Tactical, what do you mean?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
If the left that weaponized government in violation of what I believe the law and the Constitution is not taught a lesson by a judicial system that is designed to teach lessons. You rob someone, the lessons, you go to jail. If you guys broke the law, which I believe you did, if we investigate and find nothing, we find nothing. But I believe there's a lot there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
And if we don't do anything about it, you will have learned nothing. Mercy? Mercy my ass. Absolutely nobody showed mercy for the hard left targeting Donald Trump. You guys loved every, you salivated over it. Now you're going to see what that's like. I'm not about retribution. I'm about justice. Those are two different things. Those are not the same thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Now, I want to get to the important matter that just happened this morning. I'm going to take a quick break, but folks, how many freaking times have we got to go over this with the tariffs thing and elsewhere? Not you guys, but to the media dipshits who do not understand Donald Trump. I am trying to help you. This is the most popular MAGA show anywhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Livestream, AOD, VOD, We Rule, OTT, Rumble, We Kick Ass. You want to understand the MAGA space, come here. You don't? Go watch another show. Donald Trump is a spreadsheet guy, period. You keep appealing to his emotion on stuff. Dr. Taras, that's mean. Really? It's mean? You know what's mean?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Drugs crossing our border, tariffs on our products, taking advantage of our military support as a member of NATO and not doing your own job. That's what's freaking mean. He's a spreadsheet guy. How many times I got to tell you this? You appeal to his emotion, you will lose. He is not emotional about it. He sees problems as a spreadsheet. Wake up. Show you what I mean in a second.

We're going to go through this whole tariffs thing, what it means, what it doesn't mean. Again, we're going to be honest about tariffs. They are taxes. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. However, there's a plus and a minus to this if used the right way, and you're going to see what happens. Let's talk about one of the biggest scandals in modern history, inflation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
When inflation rises, the cost of everything skyrockets. But what's the truth? Is it just bad luck or poor planning? Policy decisions are being made, many coming from the Federal Reserve. That's why you need to check out Playing With Fire, Money, Banking, and the Federal Reserve, an absolutely powerful new documentary from the Mises Institute.

Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Folks, I've been candid about you about tariffs for a long time, and unlike leftists in the media who will lie to you and say, Democrats love norms and institutions. Yeah, sure, bro. Okay. I don't change my mind on that. Tariffs are taxes. They are basically taxes on, very simply, taxes on goods that are imported into the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Canada imports, say, wheat into the United States, and there's a 10% tariff. That tax is added on to that import value, which will make Canadian wheat more expensive. Now, obviously, Canadians say wheat producers or milk producers, I bring up dairy for a reason. Canada tariffs our dairy heavily, right? Obviously, the producers don't want this. They want to sell into the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
So if their weed is 10% more expensive, people aren't going to buy weed from Canada. They'll buy it from the United States. Now, what winds up happening there? There are some countries who produce things cheaper. There are things we don't want to produce cheaper. I'm giving you the straight skinny. Rubber dog toys are not a thing we're really prioritized in making in the United States.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Folks, the health and fitness segment I did on the radio show on Friday in my last hour, I cannot believe the feedback we got. It was like nothing I've ever done before. So I'm going to leave it up to you guys on this. You can vote in the chat right now. Why for yes, good idea, and for no, terrible idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Our people are the smartest workforce in the world. We want to build cars. We want to build AI. We want to build software. We want to build jet engines. We want to build high value added stuff because rubber dog toys, there are small margins. People who work in a rubber dog toy business don't make a lot. People make jet engines do. So we want to make good stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
However, a lot of stuff has been outsourced out of the United States over the years because other countries tariff our stuff, making it more expensive to import into their country. So people move production out of our country. Donald Trump, as you can see from his true social posts, said this weekend, I'm not kidding about these tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
He said, you basically have to this week. I'm going to impose a 25 percent tariff almost across the board outside of energy on Canada. Now, folks. I've told you many times if Donald Trump is doing this tactically. to combat Canadian tariffs and drug running from both the northern and southern border into the United States and can get Canada to move, this is transactional Trump winning.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Cue up the Schumer one. All the Democrats right now, by the way, attacking Donald Trump on this tariff plan seem to have a different perspective a long time ago. Hat tip, the great Mazemore, M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R on X. Here's Chuck Schumer, Democrat leader in the Senate back in 2018 on tariffs, which sounds exactly like the Donald Trump position today.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
And now all of a sudden they're taking the opposite position. Why? Because unlike me, they're phonies and fakes and they'll lick their finger and see which way the wind is blowing. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
All I'm asking folks is for some intellectual consistency on this. Schumer and the Democrats are taking the exact opposite position now. Tariffs can be a valuable negotiating tool, but they are a tax. It's OK to be candid about what you're doing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
You are taxing a foreign product imported into the United States in order to either incentivize production of said value added product in the United States, or you are doing it as a negotiating tool to say we are going to tariff you until you stop tariffing us. Look up Canada's tariffs on the United States, folks. On some products, they're significant.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
So for all the people out there pretending that, oh, this is retribution. Retribution for what? It's retribution, if anything. And by the way, to citizens of Canada, this has nothing to do with you. The Canadian economy is struggling because you've got terrible leadership in Trudeau and other people. But here's going to be the next prime minister, who, by the way, is all in on re-tariffing back.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
But I'm thinking of adding, because I don't want to take away from... The show is a political show, okay? I'm not going to take away every week. But I'm thinking of adding... On the podcast, maybe a bi-weekly or a monthly hour-long segment with fitness and health people where we can go into some of the life hacks I talked about because the feedback I got about it was crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
So Polivier, who I like, but I think he has to be a little bit candid here about what's going on. Here's Polivier, who's going to be the next leader of Canada. These guys way ahead of the polls. Here he is a little while ago talking about Canada. By the way, that Schumer segment was about China, I understand. But the same exact argument applies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Here's Polivier talking about the fentanyl problem, tariffs and other things. Again, appeared to agree with Trump before he disagreed with Trump. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
So when Donald Trump talks about, hey, we got a fentanyl problem from the northern border too, he's not making it up. It's the next leader of counter is going to take Trudeau's place. Saying the exact same thing, next PM. He's saying the same thing. He can say whatever he wants. Now, this stuff lives forever. This is a real issue.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Showing you again that this guy, Donald Trump, President Trump, is about results. This just happened before we came on the air. Donald Trump, true social. I just spoke with Mexican President Scheinbaum. It was a friendly conversation. She agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican troops on the border, separating Mexico and the United States to stop the flow of drugs and illegal migrants.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
He agrees to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs. Thank you. Do I have to read that again? Trump agrees to immediately pause the tariffs for a month during which they will have negotiations with Rubio, Secretary of State, Besson from Treasury and Howard Lutnick from Commerce and high level representatives in Mexico.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
He looks forward to participating in those negotiations with President Scheinbaum as we attempt to achieve a deal between our two countries. Mike Allen, Axios, and everyone out there trying to understand us red hat wearing lunatics. They're all fascist Nazis. 10,000 Mexican troops on the border to stop fentanyl traffic.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
That's been going on under the Biden administration for four years and before, but not to the degree it was under the Democrat administration we just got rid of. Where are your results on how come Biden couldn't do that? Trump's been in office how long, fellas? That's right, two weeks. Like a deuce, four or three years. The deuce. Two weeks. How come Biden couldn't do that?
The Dan Bongino Show

I understand a bunch of our kids are dying. You know, Fennel kills you. You know, a little bit of Fennel kills you. You know that, right? You get dead. I was going to wear the don't get dead shirt. Fennel gets you dead quick. And a lot of people around you. Why? Why do you get that done? Why? Tariffs are so bad. I told you what tariffs are. I told you exactly what they are. They are taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
How does that factor in to the weekend update? Excuse me, still actually getting over that thing, but I feel great by the way. I did a 72-hour fast this weekend. So I did three straight days with no food. I worked. Listen, by the way, seriously, definitely, if you're planning on doing this, you better check with your doctor first.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
They can induce some economic dislocation. When you use them as a negotiating tool, he already paused the damn tariffs because he got what he wanted. Because he's a spreadsheet guy. If Trudeau, Olivier, or anyone else in Canada does not give him what he wants and open up trade and do something about the Canadian border, then he's going to put on the tariffs. I don't know what to tell you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I love Canada. I've been there. It's a beautiful place. I'm just telling you, fix it or he sees it as he's not mad at you. No, he is. No, he's not. I just spoke with President Scheinbaum. He knows. Put it up again. What's the next line? Read it. What's the next line, Justin, after I just spoke with President Scheinbaum? What does it say? No, it doesn't say that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Justin says it says it was a friendly conversation. Trump doesn't like us. Really? He just said it was friendly. He doesn't care. Do what he wants because it's best for both parties, and you know it. To Canada, I love our Canadian friends that listen to the show. We have a huge audience. I get your emails. You guys are wonderful. Wonderful. Your leaders are horrible.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
the taxing and tariffing of American dairy products and other things, the fentanyl trapping. We need help. Let's not pretend that Canada and Mexico, we benefit from trade with Canada and Mexico. Period. Full stop. We do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
But it's up to Canada and Mexico both to acknowledge you benefit significantly from the biggest superpower in the history of the universe being to the north and south of you, respectively. You don't have to spend... 50% of your income defending from constant invasions because you have the benefit of the U.S. military just south and north. We're in NATO with Canada.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
They were one of the original 12 members. NATO, they don't have to, they've contributed greatly, but who's carrying most of the load? We are. Fair enough. Sorry about all the sound effects. I know it's horrible. I'm like 100%, but my lungs are still recovering. Perfect timing. Was that a hint? I got more on this coming up, by the way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Some moron left this absolute tool bag on Twitter, put up a video of me not realizing I was going to make an ass out of this dope. He's like, I can't believe this guy. I don't know what he's talking about. The rich people don't pay any tax. They don't. Really? You have any actual data to back that up? What's that? No, never, ever. We've never actually mentioned who pays taxes on the show.

If you have low blood sugar or prediabetes, this is probably not for you. However, I do it. I do it about twice a year. It was really difficult. This is the worst one I've ever done.

Just a couple quick data points to this stock talk meme. Stock talk weekly, Mexico's exports to the U.S. as a percentage of GDP, 35% of their GDP are exports. Canada, 22%. U.S. exports to Canada, 1.5%. U.S. exports to Mexico, 1.2%. This tweet, this stock talk here weekly notes America's in charge. Ladies and gentlemen, they are. They are. I don't want these tariffs. I'm clear.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
OK, I've been clear. I'm never going to change my mind. But if we need these tariffs as a negotiating tool to get to freer, fairer trade with our North and South American partners, which benefit greatly from our support and being geolocated and the exact same side of the globe and hemisphere as us, then we got to get it done. OK, we got to get it done. Now there are morons out there.

And he's like, I do. I didn't even have to say who it was. I said, make sure you put that here. So here is some dipshit on like TikTok or Twitter or whatever. I don't even know this guy's name, but apparently this guy believes that my take that tariffs, although can be economically dislocating, can be a valuable negotiating tool to get to a better, more fair trade system.

This guy seems to think that my take on it is crazy because rich people who don't pay income taxes will now have to pay tariffs. Rich people don't pay income taxes? How do you say on Twitter, I am a dumb mother, without saying it, you do a video like this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
If Donald Trump can convince the Republican Congress to get rid of the income tax for a system of tariffs instead, ladies and gentlemen, the economy will absolutely explode like you have not seen since the Reagan years may be bigger.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Is that even real? No, don't. Come on, Justin. Stop putting actual facts. The reason I picked is a thousand websites that'll give you the actual IRS treasury data on who pays income taxes. I actually picked this site for a reason because it's called USA Facts. And if you notice the sourcing at the bottom, it's the IRS. Leave this up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
So just throwing that out there. If I sound a little wired today, it's probably because my brain is operating on glucose for the first time in three days rather than ketones. And I have been intensely focused all morning. All right, so enough of that. Nothing else happened this weekend because I was fasting, so I didn't want to go out. So no partying, no nothing. Folks, the Mexico thing is insane.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
to the absolute life loser dipshit whose parents must be so dumb they passed him the stupid genes that not only did you say this, but you said it publicly and put it on the internet advertising how freaking stupid you are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
You could have looked this up in probably under 10 seconds by just putting in your favorite communist social media, whatchamacallit, internet search engine thing, bullshit Google thing, Who pays the most income tax? You could have actually figured this out yourself. I know you don't want to because facts and data aren't exactly your liberal wheelhouse.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I mean, to be a liberal, you have to be freaking stupid. But you'd find out that the top 1% of earners, what you would call the evil rich people, who you just said don't pay any taxes, pay 45.8% of income. 45.8%. That sounds like a lot. I thought he said we pay none. None, zero. So you're telling me one out of every hundred people pays almost 50 cents of every income tax dollar? Yeah, yeah.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
That's what I'm telling you. That's what I'm telling you. I mean, he could have just, look at this dipshit. I mean, this guy even looks stupid. Thanks. Look at this one. Thanks. Thanks, bro. Can you imagine this dipshit actually filming that, putting it on video? Can someone ask him that? And by the way, his take is totally backwards. He doesn't even understand tariffs, consumption taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
He has no idea what he's talking about. Why would rich people, let me do a simple math equation for you. If you make $10 million a year, showing you he has the argument totally backwards, by the way, $10 million a year, and you are not paying a tax on that income, but you are paying taxes on, say, $500,000 to $1 million of consumption, Say you're paying a 20% tax via tariffs or 25% or 25%.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
To this dipshit out there, basic math. What's a bigger number? 25% on a million or 25% on 10 million? Michael, you're a math major. Do you know what a bigger number would be? The bigger number would be the bigger the number. The abacus. Where's Jay's abacus? Folks, I can't take liberals. I can't. They are the dumbest people on planet Earth. Look at this guy. Thanks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Wait, one more time because everything's backwards on the screen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
What a moron. Here's a Yossi Gassetner. This guy's pretty funny. Yeah, look what happened to Canada's economic size per person under Trudeau. A few years before Trudeau, Canada's economy, or Canadia, as Kareem John Pierre, Canadia's economy was larger than the U.S. per person. It's been in the dumps ever since. And Trudeau's worried about Donald Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Maybe you should free up your economy and dump a lot of these tariffs on U.S. products and clean up the border situation. And maybe you wouldn't have this issue. For those of you who can't color coordinate leftists, the USA is the one on top. Oh, man, has this been a show today? That guy got me fired up. I usually don't advertise these morons, but this guy's so stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I'm going to get to that. Trump is, I don't know how many times I have to explain this to people. Please get it through your heads, left-wing lunatics. We don't understand Trump. He's a fascist. He's a Nazi. Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about. The guy is transactional. I don't know how many times I have to tell you this. He is not going to get into the emotions of this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I just had to blow this guy up because I just can't take stupid people. What? Oh, I know. I can see it on your screen over there. Hold on. I need some blackout. I didn't even intend it to roll this way, folks. Right? Because this was a floater. Dipshit imbecile guy was a floater, folks. He was not in the original rundown. So to put two dipshits back to back, I promise you, was not intentional.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
We actually have a dipshit quota because I don't want to make any of you really stupid. And I feel like by feeding you stupid stuff, you're going to need like Prevagen to present. You know that like brain cell? You're going to need fish oil because your brain will degenerate. So I promise. Dipshit alert right now. If you've already lost too many neurons, listen to that last moron.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I'm going to warn you who's coming up next. Throw them in the chat, folks. Here it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Fregese's up next. So I'm warning, we always are dumber after Fregese. But this is an important segment. Ladies and gentlemen, long overdue FBI reform is coming. We are going to make the FBI great again. Because if we don't have an FBI breaking up counterterror plots trying to kill us and they're worried about Moms for Liberty and pro-lifers, then we got a problem, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
FBI reform is coming, whether they like it or not. Here's Fugazi on MSNBC, infamous 8-8 guy, a total moron, whining on MSNBC and inadvertently, by the way, exposing how arbitrary DEI stuff is. Screws up the FBI. I want you to notice at the end, this is him whining about them ripping root and branch, DEI, out of the FBI.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
And he brings an example up at the end about having white guys in the surveillance in a minority neighborhood inadvertently exposing how bad DEI is by just randomly putting quotas out there. But because Fugazi's a moron, he doesn't even know he's making the case against himself. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
We're imposing tariffs, or you're going to fix this. That's the equation. He doesn't care about how people feel about it, what the media says. All of a sudden, a call from Mexico happens this morning. Oh, look, we're going to help you fix the border. Oh, okay. We'll get to that, but I got a couple other things to get through because the left-wing media is still in shell shock over what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Again, I'm sorry to put these two zeros back to back, but did you notice the example Fegazi gives that completely refutes his DEI argument? Ladies and gentlemen, if you are investigating, say, a West African crime ring specializing in fraud, Yes, it would be very helpful for people with experience in West African fraud. Sometimes it emanates out of Nigeria, sometimes elsewhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
There's a lot of fraud cases that happen there. Yes, it would benefit you to have some expertise. That's an actual KSA, knowledge, skills, abilities. If you just say, hey, you know, someone from that region may have darker pigmentation in their skin and melanin, so we should randomly hire more black agents for this. You're actually the more, he's actually refuting his own case.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
He's refuting his own case. He doesn't even understand that because he's too stupid. Always, always measure the effectiveness of what we're doing. Oh man, they're lighting this guy up in the chat. The chat is just on fire with this idiot. He is such a toolbox. Folks, do you get what I'm saying? Like the nuanced argument I'm trying to make that Fugazi doesn't understand because he's an idiot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Yes, if you are surveilling the Italian mob in the fish market in New York in the 80s, it would probably benefit you to find FBI agents who are maybe police officers or residents of that area and can fit in. But that's an actual knowledge, skill, and ability to blend in. It's not based randomly on you being Italian. Holy shit, is this guy stupid. Here's another one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Here's deep state Andrew Weissman, a key figure in the spying scandal on Donald Trump, a key figure in the Bob Mueller investigation hoax where they were investigating a hoax the entire time. Here he is freaking out about Donald Trump making a decision to get rid of a lot of FBI leaders who weaponized the entity and turned it into a really, really destructive force in American law enforcement.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I love how this absolute tool bag, this is three dipshits in a row, by the way, so I'm very sorry the dipshit meter's pegged. I love how this guy says you can't fire these FBI people without cause as if there isn't a litany of actual causes. You know what? Hold the Washington Times headline. Let's go through this stuff, the House Judiciary.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Let's just go through some causes so I can learn some of you people out there, liberals in my audience. Get ready. I'm going to learn you right now, okay? Did you guys miss all of this, Andy Weissman? House Judiciary, whistleblowers. The FBI has labeled dozens of investigations into parents with a threat tag created by the FBI's Counterterrorism Division. Andy Weissman may have been.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
And I told you there was going to be this period here of... disarray and internal Democrat chaos. That obviously includes the media, Axios as well. They're all part of the same party, right? They still don't know what happened after this election. That is why it is an imperative right now that we get the right people in there and we move quickly and break stuff. Break stuff that's broken.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
There's cause for you. That's it? No, that's not it. I'm not done. Let's whip off a few more here. Heritage Foundation. FBI and DOJ twist federal law to arrest and charge a pro-life activist? Oh. You missed that, Andy? All right, that's it. No, oh, no, it's not. Look. Where'd you guys come up with this? Like, you sent them. I did. Justin says, your inbox? Just the news? January 6th, shocker.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Phone companies dispute FBI testimony on pipe bomb suspect. Key lawmaker reveals. I thought there was no cause. All right, it's definitely it. He says there's one more in the inbox. How did that happen? How did that happen? Newsweek, exclusive. Donald Trump followers targeted by FBI as 2024 electioneers. Oh, man. That Andy Weissman.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I thought he said there's no cause for anything or something like that. What do I always tell you? Always measure the effectiveness of what you're doing by your opponent's response. If they're doing nothing in their list list, folks, probably what we're doing is probably meaningless. When they freak out, we're probably doing something right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Washington Times, the acting director of the FBI, refuses order to list FBI employees involved in J6 cases amid ouster of agency leaders. Kerry Pickett notes in the piece, FBI agents are said to be in a panic and a protest by employees and former employees Monday at the Washington field office and headquarters are in the planning stages of a panic and a protest. What are you protesting?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
What are you worried about? If you did nothing wrong and you were following your job, Your actual job, your responsibilities, as a government employee and investigator, what are you worried about? I don't understand. If you followed the rules and regulations, what are you worried about? That's right. Folks, I always told you, too, people are policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
And I'm sorry to tell you this, but it is time for new people at the FBI. I say I'm sorry to tell you this because I wish we weren't in this position. I really do, folks. The FBI has done a lot of great things. However, the FBI has lost their way. It has been a long time now. It's not new. The FBI has lost their way and it has filtered down into many stages of their management.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
The FBI has to get back to keeping America safe from its enemies, getting criminals and bad guys off the street and interstate crime. It is not a hard mission. Now, I told you at the beginning of the show and during the middle of the show and during the last few years of shows that lame duck Donald Trump is not an argument. It's a silly argument. They were always ridiculous arguments.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I told you the best thing about second term Donald Trump is that he'll never be a lame duck. Why? He has J.D. Vance, Don Jr., Eric, Laura. I mean, you could have this legacy go on forever with the Trump team. His political capital will never be zero. He's not a lame duck like Biden. What's he going to do, have Hunter Biden run?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
What, are they going to get a drug dealing operation, run out of the White House or something like that? I mean, what was going to happen? What are you going to do, find cocaine at the White House? I mean, they're already dealing with all of this nonsense. Biden didn't have a legacy. His political capital was zero. This is what I'm talking about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Here's Donald Trump on this aviation disaster this weekend that happened the past week in Reagan, which Secretary Duffy is dealing with and doing a great job. He is out there. He's been on the job less than a week. He's out there knocking it out of park. I got to tell you, for me, it's a little weird.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
because I've known the secretary for a long time, and we've been personal friends with the family, and obviously Evita works here, but I've always known him to be a leader. I mean, a genuine leader. I don't mean like one of these bullshit leaders who pretends to be one and then flakes out on you. So to watch him take charge of this thing just a week in office has just been...
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
That way we can fix it. The broken stuff needs to be really broken. That way we can fix it. We've got to move fast. The Democrats still don't know what's going on. I read this this weekend in Axios by Mike Allen. And seriously, I was not sure... Initially, if this was sarcasm or not, this obviously a left wing outlet. They know reality check talking about how Trump they think is breaking norms.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I'm trying to keep my emotions out of it because I got to be fair to you too. But I'm going to tell you, it's hard because I love this guy and he's just knocking it out of the park. But getting back to Donald Trump, this is plain talk. This is trans, no, believe me, no pun intended, but plain P-L-A-I-N, plain talk from Donald Trump. You better get used to it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
This is transactional Trump trying to just ask, but he's not getting them. I know it's hard because this is a horrible situation. Everybody wants to get emotional. You're not going to solve the problem. This guy's transactional. And this is just how he thinks. Again, you better get used to it. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
again, I can't say it enough. You are constantly going to get your nuts kicked in by this guy. If you do not understand, he does not get emotional. It doesn't mean he doesn't care. It doesn't mean he's not passionate about things. He obviously is. He treats things as a spreadsheet. Why did this plane crash? The helicopter is at the same altitude. How the hell did that happen?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I don't want this to happen again. I don't have time to get all emotional. I want to know what's going on. I could wait two years and issue a report. I choose not to. I want it fixed now. Get used to it, brothers and sisters, and especially lefties in the media. Because this guy's going to continue to kick your ass if you don't understand he is passionate but not emotional.

Democrats have a religious devotion to norms and institutions that Republicans don't share. Bro, is this is this freaking real? Mike Allen, is this bro? Is this real? It's a unique feature of Trumpism to despise the deep state mainstream media and checks on executive power. Dude, what the are you talking about? Democrats have a religious devotion to norms and institutions.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
For the first time in a really, really long time, and I think the production crew here can agree, we're having a hard time fitting in in four hours between the radio and podcast what to put in the show. I got a ton to get to Mexico. Update on the tariffs. Something happened in Somalia this weekend. The FAFO presidency. Let's get right to it. I count on Beam's dream powder.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Is this freaking real, dude? You're talking about the Mar-a-Lago raid? Wait, what? That's a norm? Michael, how many times have we raided an ex-president's home and his wife's underwear, George? Do you know? He's going to say as a math major, zero. He's like, I think it's the concept of absolute zero, the absence of value, like it never happened. Hey, Mike, bro, what the are you talking about, bro?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
The Mar-a-Lago raid never happened. Multiple impeachments on fake made-up crimes like a fake insurrection and a fake quid pro quo deal in Ukraine, even though he released a transcript of the call. When does that happen? How many presidents, Michael, do you know that have been impeached twice over fake crimes? Just throw it out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
He's going to say same number, which is no number, which is zero. It is the absence of actual numerical value. Zero. Zero. Zero. I'll throw another one at it. Spygate, collusion hoax. How many fake international near World War III type scenarios were started over a fake collusion hoax with a nuclear-powered enemy by Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat machine? The answer is freaking zero.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Mike, wake up, bro. I know your Axios outlet pretends to be kind of center-left. This is crazy shit, dude. Democrats have a religious devotion to Normandy. I sincerely, and I mean this, because I actually like reading Axios, even though it's turning more and more communist by the day. You should seriously revise this or get in a new line of work. Freaking embarrassing. Reality check.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Bro, talk about a reality check. Also, I saw this war clandestine tweet this morning about USAID. Folks, I put it after this because this is happening right now. He notes, we're two weeks into the Trump administration. USAID is already being purged. USAID, we have done extensive, leave this up for a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
We have done extensive segments with Mike Benz, Deep State Mike Benz, who dissects the deep state all the time. He's the best guy at it. USAID is not an aid organization. It is a U.S. government entity that provides a slush fund for every single deep state censorship mission around the world you've probably ever heard of. You know, it's happening. USAID's being purged.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Elon's openly pointing out that USAID had a role producing bioweapons like COVID-19 and killed millions. He says, ladies and gentlemen, I think we did it. I think it's actually happening. If we continue on this trajectory, deep state oligarchs and NGOs will be directly implicated in crimes against humanity, and the world will demand justice.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
The right people are in control of government, and they know where the bodies are buried. I don't know this person, but I've never heard anything more accurate. Folks, contrasts. Contrasts are powerful. Sound bites are powerful. Snapshots are powerful. The right people are in charge. Dissecting the deep state machine is happening right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
And the contrast being created between deep state Biden and Obama and this Trump sandwich we had in between are now absolutely priceless. There is so much good stuff happening this weekend. Really, I had a hard time cramming it at the beginning of the show, so you didn't miss anything. In the volume of information drinking from an open fire hydrant, you may have missed this.

Donald Trump on True Social. This was this weekend. This morning, I ordered precision military airstrikes on senior ISIS attack planners in Somalia. These killers were hiding in caves, threatening the U.S. and our allies. He notes at the end, we will find you and we will kill you. Where is it? Folks. I can't take it. Michael can't take it either. I can't. It may be the people's help.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
You got to adjust it. I can't take the winning anymore. I can't take it. My... We still have not broken the Rock'em Sock'em Robots. Amazingly. Although the Trump face on the Rock'em Sock'em Robots is green. I can't take the winning anymore. Folks, my blood pressure can't handle all this winning. I can't handle it. Michael can't handle it. Justin's walking out of the room.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
He's like, I'm 10 minutes in. No more winning. No more winning today. We don't have enough time in the show to cover all this winning. Poor guys come in. We have these thing called floaters. I do a rundown the night before. And then between last night and this morning, I throw more elements in the show. They're called floaters because they're not in the rundown voicemail I leave.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Now, I mentioned contrast. You think I just randomly threw that in there? Because obviously I'm kidding. I love the winning. Keep the winning coming. I don't care if my... Really? It is irrelevant if we cover all the winning in my show. It is. If there's so much winning we can't cover it, fine. We'll cover it on social media later. We'll make it. We'll do a special. A winning special.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
But contrasts matter, folks. And I went, seriously, you got Trump whacking a bunch of ISIS terrorists saying, yeah, we'll kill you if you F with us again. You've got the Democrats who still think they're religiously devoted to norms and institutions. That was funny. You got a censorship organization in USAID. That's a front group for the deep state getting pretty much wiped out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Mexico basically folds this morning. And what are the Democrats doing? Why Trump's kicking everybody's ass? Rock him, sock him, robot style. What are the Democrats doing? One of these days, these things are going to explode. Although they're pretty hard plastic. I'm not sure. They're pretty robust. The Democrats... Right. You're damn right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)

The Democrats chose a new party leader at their convention this weekend. They picked Ken Martin from Minnesota. But they have to pick all the officers for the National Democratic Committee there. And a little fight broke out. This is real, by the way. I'm not kidding. Republicans winning. Here are the Democrats arguing over if they... It's real. I'm not kidding you, man.
The Dan Bongino Show

Folks, I swear to you, I just said to the boys here, I was going to cut this thing off early, and I thought... No, let's enjoy and savor every second of that. So I let the thing play out. El Chumlee in the chat says, I hope the Dems keep this shit up. Please bring Kamala to run again. Yes, El Chumlee, comment of the day. And thank you. What is it? Red Pill Media for rating the stream.

And I saw 1776 earlier. You guys are great. Appreciate the stream raids on Rumble. I'm going to have to rate a stream one day. That'd be crazy, right? Blow up your whole thing. Imagine that. We raid someone's stream with like 180,000 people or something. I'm going to... Folks, I want to play. That is the Democrat Party. You understand they learn nothing.

It's a call to action to defend our rights and our freedoms. With Patriot Mobile, you get outstanding nationwide coverage because they operate on all three major networks. You have cell phone service today, you can get cell phone service with Patriot Mobile with a coverage guarantee. But the difference is this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
There's a reason I put the show in the order I did. It tells a consistent narrative in the beginning opening chapter of the show. Mike Allen from Axios actually believes that the Democrats are loyal to norms and institutions, despite no evidence. That's absolutely true. They've learned nothing from the election.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
Then the Democrat leadership is now obsessed with G, J, Zhao, Zhou, LGBTQIA, BIO, PC, 2 plus 9, binary, spiritual. This is all they care about. Nothing Trump is actually doing they care about or have contributed to. This is their entire agenda is identity politics and media people lying to America. That's it. They've learned nothing. They'll... Listen to me. They will unscrew themselves.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I promise you. But it's not going to be anytime soon. We've got two years. We've got four years. No, we don't. Two. Two. We've got two. The midterms are in two years. You start thinking we've got four years, you're going to get screwed. I'm sitting on my earpiece here. Okay. I want the contrast matter. There's a lot of F-A-F-O-ing going on, too. The F-A-ing has already happened. The F-ing around.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
The finding out part is happening now. Folks, Donald Trump is not kidding. I hate to keep saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway because it sounds self-celebratory. But I promise you, I do not. You have my word. I don't mean it that way. I said during the election, when people during the primary were telling me, you know, pick Nikki Haley. You like Nikki Haley? Fine. Great. Do your own thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze (Ep. 2414)
I didn't. I endorsed Donald Trump early. Proud of my decision to do that. I've been with him from the beginning. But I did it for a reason. Everybody's telling me he's going to be a lame duck. I said, you guys don't understand, number one, what a lame duck means. A lame duck implies he has no power.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
When Donald Trump said yesterday, this is common sense, it should be. Now, of course, the media wants to paint Donald Trump as callous and hard and attacking people, which he did no such thing. I want you to ignore that like you did the bloodbath hoax, debunk it and move on. Folks, these are not the positions for people who have these kind of issues that they're getting through in their lives.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
People's lives are at stake here. Do you understand? This is common sense. And I mean it. It is sense that's so common that because Donald, if anyone else said it other than Donald Trump, it would make sense. This is insane. Here was that segment I talked to you about. Now, I left the part out with Greg because I addressed that myself. But here is the queen.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Jessica Tarloff, again, what I find amazing about her segments on The Five is whereas Greg will just, did you ever see Greg? Greg will just sit back. I can't get enough of The Five. He maybe has some notes in front, but he'll just sit back and take it all in and extemporaneously go back at Tarloff. I want you to watch this from now on. Tarloff is always reading from notes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Oh my gosh, if there was ever an example of the Bongino rule. Holy Moses, was it yesterday with this tragedy, this plane crash? Guys, I can't tell you. Go do me a favor before we even start the show. Everybody out there, X is one of my favorite platforms for news. X, truth, I love them. I'm on there all day. Just go and put Bongino rule in there.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
It's some focus group or Democrat group operation that gave her these talking points do you ever notice she's always reading from her notes watch this is what she does all the time she gives you some focus group tested talking point a democrat fed her about this thing here she is again trying to blame trump guy's been in office what 10 days when this happened nine days listen to this

The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
moment to be talking about those things. And there is a moment to just be a consoler in chief. And I thought that CNN's aviation expert, Pete Muntean, put it well. He said what he said is not only unprofessional, unpresidential, inconsiderate of the status of the investigation, but frankly, unhinged.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Your credibility will only be built up over time. I promise you. I got a big show for you today. Folks, Trump said what needed to be said yesterday. If you don't want to hear it, vote for someone different next time. Don't vote for a MAGA person because that's not the MAGA movement going forward. Yeah, DEI is a cancerous curse. And you know what?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I think coming out and the first part when he was reading off the prompter, was correct. Whoever wrote it, if it was Stephen Miller or someone else, that sounded like somebody who was actually thinking of the families of the people who had just passed away. And then he had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if they thought they were terrible.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
She's been given the talking points. She's reading the notes. And again, these people are such frauds that it's really hard for me to take. This is not the time for this. The same losers on the left. When there is a school shooting and kids' bodies have not even been brought out of the school.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
are immediately condemning, say it happens, God forbid, in Florida, a farmer in Idaho who has a handgun because he has a handgun, he's guilty too. And you're faulting Donald Trump for going up there and saying, hey, we got a problem. This tragedy just happened and we're moving on this right away. Unreal. If you haven't seen that whole segment, I encourage you to listen to it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Because again, reads from the notes, focus group tested, talking points only, not a single extemporaneous creative thought easily debunked by Greg, Jesse, Dana, and elsewhere. I got another exchange coming up. There was a Tucker Carlson clip when he still had his eight o'clock show on Fox showing you that this problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
And by the way, she's like, oh yeah, this lasted through the Trump administration. This stuff has lasted forever because the left keeps suing over it. It's unbelievable how they stick to these talking points and people just don't fire back. Really? Trump's a DEI supporter. Are you sure about that? Didn't you guys sue endlessly over this stuff?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
He's been trying to schedule left federal employees to get rid of unnecessary dead weight in the federal government that's not pulling away for years. Did you miss that? Of course she didn't miss it. It just wasn't on her talking point sheet. It's why she's the queen of the Karens. It's why I respect for Harold Ford. So at least he has an independent thought once in a while.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I got this video from Tucker coming up next in case you, which I know it doesn't apply to you, but if you're a liberal watching today and you think, oh my gosh, this is a new problem. I mean, Donald Trump. No, no, this isn't a new problem. This is an ongoing problem. Trump and Republicans, the good ones have been trying to fix forever. I'll be right back to that quick break.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Hey, if you want to carry a firearm for protection, you need to join an organization I've been with forever, the USCCA. People like you and me can't risk it. Imagine rotting in prison. It's happened just because you use the gun in self-defense. You've seen it in the headlines. If a good guy with a gun defends himself or others, he's probably more likely to get locked up than the actual criminal.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Even with the new administration, the justice system, especially in a lot of these liberal states, is absolutely no friend to gun owners like you. That's why I've been a member of the USCCA for years. And right now, the USCCA has given away a free concealed carry and family defense guide and the chance to win $1,200 to buy a firearm or any gear you need to protect your family, all 100% free.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The only time to talk about it is when people are paying attention. You don't want to hear it, today's show is not going to be for you. Okay, I'm just telling you right now, we got a lot to talk about, including Kash Patel up on the hill yesterday, tearing it up, just like I told you.

The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I admitted to you in the beginning of the show. Do I know it's the sole reason we had this aircraft tragedy? I don't know that. I don't know that yet. The Bongino rule matters. But I'm not closing off the possibility either. Here's a Tucker Carlson clip from a while ago, exposing the FAA for prioritizing racist DEI over merit. And people die when you do that. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
There were Trump people battling this stuff. This has been going on for a long time, folks. Or you can believe Jessica Tarloff, who's had to frequently correct herself on the air for nonsense. You want to believe the truth or Queen of the Karens? They've been fighting this crap forever. People are going to die. Here's NBC News, of course. Republicans pounce.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Hey, lately I spent night after night tossing and turning, waking up exhausted, feeling like I was falling behind on everything that mattered. You know what happened? I started taking Beam's Dream Powder. It works for me. Beam is proudly founded in America, run by people who share our values, hard work, integrity, and results.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
How right-wing influencers turned airplanes and airports into culture war battlegrounds. We didn't do it, dipshit. You guys did it. Nobody thinks airplanes and airports are racist. We're just exposing you guys for being racist, for running airplanes and airports with a racist policy. Don't blame us. David Ingram, a source of constant litany's BS out of NBC.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Here's Jackie Heinrich at Fox on Twitter. New York Times, control tower staffing was not normal during deadly crash. FAA says, maybe if they weren't so focused on D-I-E, maybe you would have had enough people in there to prevent 67 souls from being snuffed out. The controller on duty was doing a job usually handled by two people. Collision between the jet and the helicopter killed 67 people.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Bodies are still being recovered. Give us the 67 people back. Unscrew yourselves, man. Why is this only acceptable in government? Because, again, they don't care. The government steals your money to pay other people. It's not their money, and they're not even buying anything for themselves. The only reason they may care about this is because D.C. lawmakers fly out of Reagan and don't want to die.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
It may be the only reason you get some change out of this. Folks, this is just disgusting stuff. And if we don't rip this DEI racist crap out root and branch, then we're not going to have a government left. You are breeding and watering seeds of mistrust, and people really start to get bitter at other people when they feel like they lost out to someone else for all the wrong reasons.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
We already have strong EEO and civil rights laws in this country. It is illegal to discriminate based on race, period. It's not extra illegal. It's illegal now. You think you're going to find a sympathetic year if you go to the media and say, I have proof of anti-black, anti-Hispanic, anti-Asian racism? The media will jump all over that story. You have legal and PR avenues to handle this now.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The solution is in a system-wide overhaul where we then discriminate against an entirely different group of people, Asians in colleges, white men in work. I thought this was fairly obvious. And we're going to switch gears here for a second. And listen, get ready. What do we got? 138, almost 140. Nice crowd today. Covered nicely. Yesterday, our audience got a little bit.

We were still number one, thank you, by far. But still, the Trump presser, I think, understandably, some people watch cable, watch us on demand later. I may lose some of you here, and I'm going to say that in advance. I hope I don't. But I'm making an executive decision. Folks, this segment is about economics. It's about a minute 30. It's from a guy I really like, this Peter St. Onge.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
You should follow him on X. He does a lot of great videos on economics and he makes them digestible. Three minutes or less, you will learn so much. I love economics. I'm passionate about it. There is a massive proposal out there by Donald Trump that is going to interest, even if you're listening right now, go, I hate economics. You won't hate this. Donald Trump, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Even Justin, listen to this one. This one, I'm telling you, this is a game breaker. He told break the game wide open. If Donald Trump can convince the Republican Congress to get rid of the income tax for a system of tariffs instead, ladies and gentlemen, the economy will absolutely explode like you have not seen since the Reagan years, maybe bigger.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The explosion of capital and investment in the United States and the basically $30,000 or so raise a lot of people are going to get is will absolutely blow our economy up like you've never seen before. I want you to watch this St. Onge video. It's about a minute and 30. But man, does he lay it out about what exactly this would do. It's worth your time. Please listen. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Beams already helped improve over 17.5 million nights of sleep, helping people across the country wake up and feel their best. So here's the deal.

The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Folks, that's one of the best minute and 30s you're ever going to hear. Can you imagine what an extra $20,000 to $30,000 a year would do for you? Do you have any idea that's life-changing money? Life-changing money. A year. Over 10 years, you're talking about the value of many people's homes. $30,000 in your wallet? Now, I will say one thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
There would have to be massive, wasteful government spending cuts, which is what we want. Because in the beginning, there's going to be some dislocation. And if you want to understand the math, it's very simple. Wall Street Journal, Don Luskin has a good piece about this. This is why.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The income base, in other words, the amount of United States total income we tax on the income tax is $25 trillion. Throw that piece up if you could. So we're taxing $25 trillion of income, okay? So you get a percentage of that, the United States government, okay? If we're going to tax only imports and tariffs, the base is a maximum of $3 trillion, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
So in other words, they say that means a 10% tariff would have an effect roughly equivalent to a 1.3% increase in personal tax rates. What I'm getting at is, There are things we do have to fund. We have to pay interest on our national debt or no one's going to lend us money again. We have to fund their military. You know, we have a bunch of seniors on Social Security who spent their whole lives.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
We can't just say, hey, screw it, you're all going to die. We can't do that. It's going to take a while to wind down all this spending. However, this may be Donald Trump's most bold, brilliant idea, yet he would transform the entire country if he did it. We had to graduate it down and graduate it up tariff. My gosh, could you imagine what it'd be like to not have to deal with the IRS again?

Okay, getting back to the hearing yesterday. Folks, I told you Cash was the guy. I know Cash personally. I don't let my personal relationships get in the way of my show. I owe you better. I'm just telling you who Cash is personally is who Cash is publicly. Cash is a good man. Cash has been the victim of all of this deep state BS that's happened. And I want you to know this. People forget this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
You guys ready? Don't ever forget. Devin Nunes and Kash Patel. Devin Nunes and Kash Patel, if it wasn't for those two, you would know absolutely nothing about the collusion hoax. You wouldn't. They were the ones, those two guys. Others got on later. They were the two guys who cracked this thing open from the inside. And because of that, their lives were turned upside down.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Cash knows what it's like. Cash also knows the dirty details behind January 6th. Ladies and gentlemen, I've told you a thousand times, I wish things would have went down different, okay? I'm not going to sit here and tell you everything was great that day. No, no, that's not what happened. But there is zero question right now. Zero. that what happened that day, the full story's never been told.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Whether it's been the mobilization of the National Guard, federal involvement in that day I know happened, and in addition, the identity of the pipe bomber, someone is hiding a deep, dark secret about what happened on January 6th. This is the real reason the left hates Kash Patel, by the way. Here he is addressing the National Guard and who was called and when was called.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The left doesn't want this story out there. Because they want to look like, oh, we're clean of all this. We had nothing to do with anything. Oh, really? Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Number one, ladies and gentlemen, I'm just going to state this categorically. You don't like it. This is the wrong show for you. That's okay. It's not an airport. You don't have to announce your departure. I love you if you're here, but if you choose to leave, it's okay. DEI is racist. DEI is a cancer. Prove me wrong. Let me say it again. DEI is racist. It is a cancer. Prove me wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The Speaker of the House. Speaker of the House. Wasn't that Pelosi? Folks, they just don't want to tell you the whole story here. You want a really quick, simple, easy pro tip on how to never look like a liberal, foolish, hypocritical. Piece of garbage, filthy, far left communist Democrat. Just tell the truth. Yeah, man, January 6th went down this way.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I got a lot of objections to a lot of things. I have a lot of objections to you lying to me, too. You're telling me Nancy Pelosi knew nothing about the security situation at all? Kash Patel is telling you on the record after being sworn in, there are memos documenting this. They're not telling you the full story because they don't want to.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I don't care what, all I'm going to tell you is the damn truth. If you don't like the truth, this show's not for you. It's okay. Why do you want to be lied to all the time? This is the real reason they don't want cash around. Here he is responding up on the Hill to these absolute BS Democrat attacks on this man's character. Cash is a good and decent guy. I've been around him quite a bit.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Cash is one of those guys, I'm going to tell you right now, when you pick up the phone, he's like Pete Hegseth, Secretary Hegseth now. You call this guy up, if he doesn't get back to you, he'll call you immediately because he's in some kind of meeting or something. Every single time. Here he is yesterday on these Democrat attacks against him. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
You know, it's fascinating, too. If you're a piece of garbage, progressive commie leftist, what's the first thing you're doing right now? If Kash Patel was a Democrat nominee, you guys know what the first thing you're doing? Well, it's definitely racist. You're going after the brown guy. A hundred percent. A hundred freaking percent. Why am I not doing that? Because it's not true.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The Democrats are, many of them are racist, but that's not why they're going after cash. They're going after cash because of what I just told you. He's going to uncover the full January 6th story. He's going to stop the FBI weaponization of power, which the left loves, and that pisses them off. But I'm not a lying piece of garbage progressive commie. It's definitely racist.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Cash, by the way, was targeted by a weaponized government. Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget your history on this. Edutainment, right? Here we go. Educational entertainment. Kash Patel and Devin Nunes were ruthlessly targeted.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Okay, you can't. Folks, you cannot engage in hiring. You cannot engage in the promotion process, in the admittance to selective colleges and training programs based on skin color. If you do it, you are engaging in a racist practice. Period. I can't help you if you think otherwise. I get it. I have said it. I have spoken out against it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Phones taken, investigations, subpoenas because they uncovered scumbag Adam Schiff's absolute fabrication of a Russian collusion fairy tale, which destroyed our country for four years and still is rippling through international politics. He was targeted himself.

Can you think of a better guy to run the FBI than a guy who's been on the other end of federal government weaponized justice system prosecutions? Listen to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Two things, and I don't want to make this story about me, but it is my show, and I feel the need to inject this into it. Number one, notice how Cash talks about how they made the process financially painful for him. Folks, that's a real thing. Cash is not a multi-multi-quadrillionaire.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
They endlessly put this guy through legal hell in an attempt to do what they did to Donald Trump, make the process punishment, okay? That's why he mentioned that. Second, Cash had to move. I never told you this. It's not the only reason, so I don't want to exaggerate or be ridiculous, but one of the reasons we got out of here, too, and how to take, because I mistakenly, My address got public.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I made a political donation one time, and I put down the address rather than a PO box, and it was a disaster. It just turned into a mess. We had people showing up at the house. I had some crazy guy show up. I had the Martin County Sheriff had a look. I mean, it turned into a total train wreck, folks. Guys showed up all the time. This is not, folks, it's not me. I'm not a fake tough guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
How many times I got to tell you? I got arthritis in every bone in my body. I don't know if I can fight my way out of a wet paper bag anymore. The karate man thing is a joke, okay? I don't know karate or nothing anymore, okay? If you're lucky, we'll fall on the ground and maybe I'll remember some Brazilian jujitsu, but I'm not even sure. Okay. It's about my family. I got a family.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I've got young kids. Okay. This is not when this happens to you and knock on wood, God forbid it ever does. It's not about you. I'll shoot you if you come to my house. Really? In front of your kids? Yeah, if I have to, I have to. Believe me, if that's the kind of thing you want, that ain't me. Want a dead body in your house?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Every time you walk by your kitchen, you got to think, ah, that guy was bleeding out over there. Is that what you want? I don't want that. Nobody knows better than cash. Let me show you, this is my last one with Cash, but I want to show you the most pathetic part of yesterday's hearing. It has nothing to do with Cash. It has everything to do with this scumbag Adam Schiff.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Folks, he is not the dumbest member of Congress. That's AOC. The dumbest male member of Congress is obviously Dan Goldman. The most corrupt, evil, demonic member of Congress, I have zero doubt, well, Senate side now, but Congress in general, is Adam Schiff. You will never meet a bigger scumbag in your life. This guy does not have a shred of human dignity. His DNA is composed of only evil pairs.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
This country has a tough, really rough history with race from slavery to the Civil War to Jim Crow. That is our history. We screwed a lot of things up like every country on earth did, okay? We did our best to fix it. millions of people died and marched and did everything we can to get to a society that judges people based on merit. And we have made an enormous amount of progress.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
This is evil personified. This is a guy who was exposed. He's questioning Kash Patel, who exposed him lying about the biggest political scandal of our time, a fake collusion fairy tale that destroyed the country for years. Adam Schiff, remarkably, I think should be in prison for some of the stuff he did. Is a United States senator got a promotion because liberals love these evil demons, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Schiff has the balls to start attacking Kash Patel for trying to help out some people involved in January 6th. And then has even bigger balls to talk about how Kash Patel should do due diligence. Diligence. Oh, I got a due diligence segment for you coming up, but listen to this exchange first. This guy makes me sick. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Guy's a scumbag. Guy's the biggest piece of garbage, evil demon we have in the United States Senate. The fact that this guy was promoted in the state of California is a word on the ass of humankind. What Adam Schiff did to this country is a disgrace. He is a documented buffoon, liar, and he is an evil demon. That is all this guy is. He is a disgraceful, disgusting human being.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
He's talking about cash doing due diligence. You mean the due diligence he did when he put together the Nunes memo with Devin Nunes and exposed you for being a scumbag? You mean that? By the way, did you do due diligence? Justin and Michael reminded me of this one. They're like, Dan, due diligence.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Wasn't Adam Schiff the guy who got pranked by two Russian comedians because he didn't do Russian due diligence, pretending they had fake pictures of Donald Trump naked? I was like, oh, my gosh, that happened, didn't it? No. Maybe I said, remind me. So they pulled this clip and it turns out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
This piece of human garbage, Schiff, was the top Democrat on the Intel committee and didn't even have the sense to do due diligence and say, hey, is this really compromise or a couple of Russian comedians making me look like an a-hole? Listen, people get burned all the time, folks. It happens. This was an easy one. Due diligence. Good for Kash Patel. Folks, Bongino Army, I need you here.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I'm going to move on a second. I got another clip here coming up about the Brandon Johnson, probably the second or third worst mayor in America. There are worse. But I'm going to ask you again as a favor, please, please, Bongino Army, send another email to your senators. I don't care what state you're in. It doesn't matter. respectfully worded or else it does no good. Please support Kash Patel.

The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
And I am damn proud of the country I live in. I am ashamed that some people in the past engaged in that behavior, but I'm proud of the people who fought against it. And those are your ancestors too. You should be damn proud of being part of this place. And I am not going to stand idle while people go back and drag us back to a

The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
We do. We are constituents. Thank you for your time. Very simple. It matters. They listen. I know you guys are hardcore voters who never miss an election. They are going to look you up. These people do not want to get primaried. They do not want to engage in a close election. All they want to do is stay in power. Republicans, Democrats, all of them. Please send that email. This is politics.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
It is a participation sport, not a spectator sport. I need you to do it. Please. It's a critical vote. We don't get this guy in at the FBI. You're never going to get any answers at all. See, did I not tell you guys ago? We show not over, but I'm like, we are not ending the show without playing this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
If you live in a city like Chicago or Los Angeles with Karen Bass, who I think right now is probably the worst mayor in America. Brandon Johnson from Chicago is up there. Maybe it's a tie for number one. I don't know. Maybe they split the gold medal. There are so many awful liberal city big mayors. It's really hard to keep track. I mean, it's no point in even keeping a checklist and go on forever.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Be like the board of Democrat hoaxes. Trump's been in office 10 days. We're going to need a new board soon. But Brandon Johnson's asked a simple question about ICE raids in the city of Chicago. He's like, hey, bro, you know, didn't they just pick up a guy like some hardcore criminal who was like, you know, terrorizing your city? You going to help out about that? Hey, man, that's not my job.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
People in Chicago get killed, raped, murdered. I mean, it's not like I have anything to do with that. No. Oh, yeah, listen to yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
where we say, do you have the appropriate amount of melanin in your skin? You do not. Well, that job isn't for you. We are not doing that. What is Two Thumbs going to fight that all the time? This guy. We're not doing it. Forget it. DEI is racist.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Folks, this is the liberal ethos. This is why I wake up every morning like many of you and thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that I am not dumb enough to be a liberal. This guy is running on be a liberal, be a progressive, big government's going to solve all your problems. Reporter presents him with a problem. You know, you have all these criminals who are in the country illegally.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
If you were just to cooperate with ICE, ICE could go in the jails and get rid of them. What's his response? Not my freaking job, bro. How do you live in this? We're on WLS in Chicago on the radio. How do you live in this city with this moron? Are you even interested in results? Like, hey, I don't want to get raped or killed or murdered or home invaded. This is your guy?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
This is the best you can do. Pull up that Malujan tweet, by the way. Here's Bill Malujan from Fox. You want to see what results look like when your government's run by Donald Trump and not this idiot in Chicago? Per sources, Border Patrol just recorded 582 illegal crossings at the southern border with not a single one of the nine sectors hitting 200. Well, what does that mean?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Malugin says, good reporter here, I've never seen anything this low in all of my border coverage. The numbers were already flat low in Biden's final week because they were flying everyone in with the CBP app. But even with that, they bounced between 1,200 and 1,400 illegal crossings a day. But the numbers have fallen off a cliff since Trump took office. Last three days, 665, 731, 582.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
That's what results look like, bro. That's what happens when you've got a guy in charge saying, listen, Federalist 51, if men were angels. They're not. Unfortunately, we need a little bit of government, as little as possible. But if we're going to run this place, one of our jobs is national security. You're not entering the country illegally on my watch. What happens? Wow. People get the message.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
They stop coming here illegally. This isn't hard to figure out, man. This is who Democrats really are. You know what? Go to this Jesse Waters, Tim Wall snitch line thing. This is another one. I'm sorry. I can't leave it out playing this. Folks, it's Friday. I'll have you on the radio here in a few minutes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
So we'll be back with you for the next three hours if you want to watch on Rumble and Locals. However, it's Friday. So I want to leave you in a little bit of a good mood. And sometimes even clips like this that highlight how genuinely awful liberal Karens are. This is kind of funny to listen to. Get out of liberal cities as soon as you can. The liberal Karens you're living around hate your guts.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
They are big government, like Soviet style. They will report against you in a minute. Read Solzhenitsyn's The First Circle. They will turn you in as soon as they can when they get back in power for the gulags. Here's a segment on Jesse Waters' show. Minnesota, under Tim Walz, had a snitch line during COVID for people not wearing masks. Listen to all the losers calling in.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
And yes, this is the time to talk about it because the government, a lot of corporations, universities, academics, people all over the United States have dug into society and embedded this cancer everywhere.

Oh, folks, this goes on. That segment goes on for like five minutes. You know what? Justin just brought some interesting. He's like, you know, that woman sounds like, was that Tarloff? I don't, I don't think so. I don't think so. I'm just putting that. I don't think it was. I'm reasonably. It's a joke. It's a joke. It's a. Greg, I mean, tip line. There's a, someone went out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
One of them sounds like Joy Reid. Is that Joy Reid? Folks, get out of these liberal cities as soon as you can. These are your neighbors there. I lived in them my entire life. New York City, when I grew up, was not like this. It transformed. Get out of these places as soon as you can. Move to Florida, move to Texas. Only if you're a conservative. If you're a liberal, we're closed.

There's seriously 20 to 50 tweets of awesome Bongino show. And I mean, awesome P1 listeners correcting people on who was the pilot, who wasn't the Bongino rule. Just wait a bunch of people, not you because you guys are smart. Okay. A bunch of people got out ahead of the thing and made fools out of themselves. This Bongino rule thing is not, I don't even want to call it the Bongino rule.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Even the people who, air quotes, benefit from it are victims too. No, they're not. Yes, they are. Because you know what it does? It breeds animosity. where people start to say, wait, did that guy get this or that woman get that because she checked some box and not because she worked as hard as I did? What do you think the person who gets passed over thinks? You think they're happy about that?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Is that what you want? A bunch of miserable people pissed off that they lost their job, they lost an opportunity, or they lost a raise because they didn't have the right melanin in their skin or sexual orientation. That's complete crap, man. DEI is racist.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I am glad we have a country with strong civil rights laws where if you engage in any racist activity, that guy's not hired because he's black or Hispanic, then your dumbass, ignorant, stupid ass deserves to pay. We already have laws against that. The way to remedy this isn't to flip the script on it. New York Times already blaming Trump. Trump blames DEI and Biden for crash under his watch.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Ladies and gentlemen, has it ever occurred to the New York Times that Donald Trump may know something about what happened and the circumstances? I'm not telling you DEI was the cause of this. I am telling you that DEI has embedded itself into the government so that you can't eliminate it as a cause. I want to give a shout out. I got to get these videos, but this is important.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I don't usually like monologues this long without some kind of video show formatics, but this is super important. I got a clip of the exchange later, but not this specific part. Greg Gutfeld is a very, very, very insightful guy on Fox. I've known Greg for a long time, and don't mistake his sarcasm and humor. Do not mistake that for any kind of lack of depth.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Greg said something yesterday on The Five that was absolutely brilliant to Jessica Tarlow. He said that DEI is the mirror to identity politics. Whereas the left will use identity politics, racism, they will blame everything on racism. They lose an election, racism. Voter ID, racist. Police behavior, racist. Without any evidence at all that's true, every single thing is due to racism.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Despite an ability to produce a shred of evidence that a lot of what they say, I'm not telling you all of it, but a lot of what they say is true. Greg was brilliant. You know what he said? He said, you know, it's funny how DEI has become the exact opposite. It's like a mirror for them.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
He's like, DEI, did you ever notice with the left, they're so proud of DEI, but it has nothing to do with anything? Helicopter crash with an agency, ATC, FFAA, runs air traffic control. Openly proclaiming DEI is the way forward. Oh, that had nothing to do with it. They don't know that yet. Military, lack of readiness and lethality. Oh, that had nothing to do with it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
That had nothing to do with it. I'm going to say to Greg, brother, absolutely brilliant point that I'm not going to steal because I will appropriately credit you, but I'm going to use often and make sure you get the credit. Brilliant point. Racism's the cause of everything on the left, yet DEI is the cause of absolutely nothing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Here was one of the upper-level deputy director types at the FAA back in 2023 talking about their push. This is in the Biden years. For DEI, which is racist, period. There is no argument about that. Pushing for DEI in the FAA, which is responsible for things like not having aircraft collide in the air. Don't listen to me. Listen to them. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I just want to call it like a life rule because I don't want to take credit for common sense. Yes, we're going to talk about a story. The Bongino rule is not don't talk about a story. That's stupid. It's just don't draw any conclusions for about 24 to 72 hours until you have the entire spreadsheet of facts or a good amount of them to do that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
We don't need any of that shiz! We don't need any of it. You know what we need? Good people who can keep aircraft from colliding and exploding in the sky. And by the way, Mr. Mims, I believe it's not there anymore. Isn't it a little racist to constantly insist that people who are not white are incapable of meeting the same criteria as people who happen to be white? Isn't that racist? Yes, it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
DEI is racist, period. There is no arguing it. You are judging people on characteristics unrelated to their job skills based on race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, LGBTQIA, BIO, PC2+. It has nothing to do with merit. Don't get people killed in the skies. None of that stuff has anything to do with anything. Here was one of Biden's nominees to run the FAA at the top.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Now, listen, I don't expect these guys, sometimes managers have different skills. I mean, was it the guy who ran Coke or something at one time, went in to run Apple, he did a good job. Sometimes people have different skill sets. However, I expect you to know a little bit if you're going to go and run the FAA.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Here's Biden's, one of his FAA nominees at the time, who doesn't seem to know a lot about, like, air traffic, which would kind of be a big deal for the Federal Aviation Administration. I'm just throwing that out there. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
Man, I can't thank you enough for stopping a lot of people and protecting them against themselves on X for this thing. Look, we found the pilot. You know what I'm talking about if you've been on X. I'm not even going to get into it. The Bongino rule will never fail you. It will never fail you. You don't have to be first. You don't. But you do have to be right. You do.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
This is not fun. I'm not kidding. Michael brought up a great point. I applaud him on the third jump cut there where he at least gives it a shot. He's like, I think it's like blood pressure or something. The guy's like, no, it actually is. It's like weight of the plane and distribution. But good try, blood pressure. Folks, this guy, I don't know this guy. I'm not going to be an asshole to him.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The guy could be brilliant. I don't know. The guy could have been in the widget space before, been the greatest widget maker ever. I don't know. The point is, he just didn't know anything about aviation for the Federal Aviation Administration. Like, I kind of, I don't know, like, maybe do a little homework first?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
I'm just asking you, where else would this satisfy you if you were a shareholder in a company? You won't say 7% of a billion dollar company, right? They're ready to hire some new, bring on some new board member. Don't you want them to know a little bit about the company before he gets under? Only in the federal government is this okay. Because of the third-party payer problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
The government is spending money on other people with other people's money. So they don't care about the cost and they don't care about the quality because they're not buying anything for themselves and it's not their money. Here's Fox News headline. FAA's diversity push includes a focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities. Listen, it's serious time, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
This is a hard segment for me. I have a rather large family on my mother's side. My grandmother was Irish. There was a lot of them. She had eight sisters. We have a really big family. We've dealt with a lot of issues, a lot of struggles. I've dealt with a lot of this with people very close to me. I'm going to leave their identities out, but it's a serious problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Tragic Consequences Of DEI (Ep. 2413)
And I do not mean at all to make light of it. But folks, I can tell you from dealing with people extremely close to me who have had psychiatric disturbances, let's say, and disabilities, you do not want them. It's not a reflection on their character. It's a problem. A lot of it's genetic. You do not want them doing air traffic control where a mistake means people die and a lot of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I don't mean make it out of prison like they're going to be dead. I mean, they will be locked up and not free to commit to their criminal enterprises again. This is the folks, the guy's only been in office. We had six weeks now. It almost feels like dog years. And I mean, as a compliment, does it not? Guys, it feels like he's been in office five, six years at this point.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Do you even have, by the way, one quick thing before I take a break. Have you ever seen a former president fall off the map as quickly as Joe Biden? Have you heard a word from this guy? I mean, I get they do the former president thing, but it's almost like the presidency never happened. Yeah, he said I'm weird. Folks, Trump is about results. This is what he wants. He doesn't want talk.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
He wants do. He's telling Mexico this is what has to get done. Do it or this is going to happen. He's not kidding. Don't mistake maximalist rhetoric. I hate the line and you should too. Take Trump seriously but not literally. No, I promise. Take him literally sometimes or you are going to get your negotiating caboose kicked. There are times he is literally serious when he says tariffs.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
He means it. It's not an effective negotiating tool if you don't mean it. Quick break, and we're going to get back to, gosh, the Alinsky principle here that they're using to just go after Elon Musk because they are so afraid of just turning over this rock and looking at what government's been doing with your money.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
You know, you guys catch it? You know what I forgot to do before the show? I forgot my 10 air squats. Hey, man, you want a quick life hack? I'm serious. I'm not even messing with you. Before you're about to go into a meeting, I mean, you probably don't want to do it in front of people. You get the point, but whatever. Go to the bathroom and do it, whatever.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
The Alinsky principle, I'm going to show it to you because once you see it, you can never unsee it. You'll see how it's in effect now. The left is, this is the hill they're going to die on. They know this Elon effort to clean up government can't continue. Hey, if you're a gun owner who thinks the battle's over because Donald Trump won, think again. The threats haven't disappeared.

And every single day, every second now, I watch that clock tick down. Every second, it's a pleasure to be here with you. You guys and ladies have been so supportive of us. So I'm sorry.

Listen, this was a leftist organizer, Solonitsky, but that doesn't make the rules he propagated wrong just because we disagreed with his politics. This is an effective target to really propagate a story rather than a story. I hate to say it, but to hurt someone. I don't mean physically, but narrative wise to damage and destroy someone.

Say, I'm not there yet till the 17th. Cash has got it. Attorney General Bondi have got it. Bongino rule. That's all I'm asking. And I say that as a commentator, not as the soon-to-be FBI deputy director. I want to be clear on that. Those are two separate roles. All right? Bongino rule. Applies to Bongino, too. Bongino rule. Today's show is sponsored by Lumen.

Rule 13, pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. Cut off the support network. Isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions. People hurt faster than institutions. Now, I'm going to play an interesting game here with you. It's not meant to mess around with your brain, but...

About 80% of the Democrat Party is still scattershot and hasn't focused on a message. There's about 20% of them, lawmakers, lobbyists, opinion makers, hosts, who have decided to focus on Elon Musk and the Doge because they realize that the left-wing governing model, a big government, will fall apart if people realize what's actually happening with their taxpayer dollars.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
So here's, I had to write this down at the end. I took a bunch of notes on today's sheet. So I always tell you that media people and our ideological opponents out there, they're playing this narrative game where they want to tell you a story rather than the story. But here's the kicker.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
You can always tell it's a story rather than the story when a story is different from a story they told you just before Donald Trump got in office. So before Donald Trump got in office, we were told by the left that Trump Immigrants are fantastic. Illegal, legal, open borders are great. They may not have said it directly, but you know that's what they were thinking. Anyone in the chat disagree?
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Immigration is a wonderful thing. Legal, illegal, doesn't matter. Sanctuary cities even protect criminal illegals, which is insane. So this is a strange line of attack from Democrat Rep Marcy Kaptur. So now Elon Musk, because he's an immigrant, is a bad guy? I'm a little confused. So now immigrants are bad? My wife, Paula, is an immigrant because she's confused too.
The Dan Bongino Show

We're trying to figure this out. This is how you know a story from that story. You doubt me? Here, check this out yourself.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I'm not messing around with you folks when I say this. I don't understand what you're saying here. I thought your line of attack a few weeks ago was that immigrants were fantastic, legal, illegal immigrants. Venezuelan gang members you were protecting. Now, Justin just said it. He's like, Dan, you missed it. It's successful immigrants with multi-billion dollar, almost trillion dollar enterprises.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Those are the best. What? Do I have this right? We got a few more for you. You're going to see throughout the show, okay? So new stories for today, new narratives. I guess immigrants are bad. Fascinating. I never knew that. Government shutdowns are good again. Really? Oh. And then the last one is Elon supports apartheid. He does. I'm going to tell you something. Well, you know what?

Let me play it first. It's Joy Behar on The View, so everybody kind of just take it all with a grain of salt. I'm serious when I say this, though. I'm not kidding around. She better be really careful with this. I mean, he's a public figure and all. You have an actual malice standard? But this could result in litigation and a lawsuit. You better be damn sure.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I think she came back later and tried to dial it back. But this is a really, really out there claim about Elon. But remember, Olinsky's Rule 13. Isolate the target. Elon Musk's our guy. Train your fire on Elon Musk. Watch this.

You know, once in a while, Guy just, don't be suing me. Okay, look, see, she's already worried about it. Guy just nailed it. Guy said, Dan, if you are in the legal profession and you really want to make money, like you are a hustler and an entrepreneur, Guy said, what do you think the best job is? And I was confused. I'm like, where's he going with this? He's like, the view.

He goes, can you imagine the billable hours over there? There's probably a 24-hour shift of people. There's like an 8 to 4, 4 to 12, midnight shift, 12 to 8. Then you've got a training shift on the back end, like training to reinforce the guy so if anyone goes down sick. Can you imagine the billable hours out of the view? How many corrections did Sonny Hostin have to issue on that show?
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Was it like five or six? And it's just endless. Here's what's going on over there. In my opinion, having done a TV show and doing content creation here like they do, they just don't do their homework. They just don't do their homework. So they go in and they spout off and then the lawyer goes, where did you get that? I don't know. I saw it from a Twitter account. I hate Elon.X or whatever.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
And I just repeated it. Why? Why did you do that? You got to be careful, man. You better bring receipts on your show. It's another reason I highly recommend the Dan Bongino rule, which is just wait a couple days before you draw a conclusion. Talk about whatever you want. I'm not here to tell you what to talk about.

But if you just let the facts come out, you're seeing it with this Gene Hackman case. Him and his wife and the dog died. Initially, all was carbon monoxide.

They were found by some guy working around the house with the dog. You don't have to get into all kinds of theories. I know it's crazy because everybody wants to be first, but this is what happens when Elon is pro-apartheid. Do you have any evidence of that at all? Here was the five yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
You know, one of my favorite things to watch is Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld fighting back against Jessica Tarloff. I love the five. I'm like obsessed with the show. It's one of the rare shows I will make appointment viewing. This happened yesterday too. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Yes, Jessica, 100%. Elon is definitely doing this for the money. You guys know that? Elon's struggling a little bit. Hey, folks, if he has a Rumble channel, can you give him a tip and a tip share? Elon is definitely hurting for money. Last I checked, he's worth, what, $400,000? No, he's saying no. Million. No, not million. Oh, billion. Billion. Like with a B. And not an Austin Power. Million?
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
No, billion dollars. I'm reasonably confident Elon Musk, he's going to be okay. Jess, he's good. Good to see you. The Gutfeld smirk, I can't get enough of, by the way. You see him at the end, the smirk? He's like, it's a narrative. It's just not working. But did you see how she gave away the whole thing? And it's fine. It's what they do. It's just not personal for me.

But she says the Democrats are coalescing around a story. Ah, Saul Alinsky, Rule 13. It's not working because guys, you are the media now. You are the media.

They cannot have this doge looking at inefficiencies throughout the government. This is going to be one of the things that's on my mind, has been on my mind for a long time. There is absolutely no reason for the government to be operating on systems that were a big thing with the Commodore 64 in the 70s and 80s, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Politico, doge is now dramatically raising the potential for a government shutdown. This is fascinating. Now the Democrats are using shutdowns as a leverage tool. We were told forever that a government shutdown was a disaster. People were going to die. Planes were going to fall out of the sky. Puppies were going to die. Grandma was going to be thrown off the cliff.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
People were going to be passing out. Social security checks weren't going to arrive. China was going to evade because the military wouldn't give it. None of this, of course, is actually true, but we were told government shutdowns were to be avoided at all costs.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
We were even told falsely that government shutdowns were the cause of a bond rating disaster, when if you actually read the report, that is not what they said. So it's kind of bizarre to see the Democrats now take this different turn where now government shutdowns are good again. Again, this is the difference between a story and the story.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
And the hallmark of a story is when a story changes repeatedly. The story never changes. A story always does. Here's a federal employee. We played this before the show going through the rundown, and we listened to it, and all of us were like, really? So you're working. You get an email. Just to be clear, it's not personal, folks. You're working at a job in the federal government. You're working.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
This is what the lady says. Gets this email from OPM and says, hey, listen, list five things you're doing while you're working. Why am I bringing that up? Because it should be really easy while you're doing things to just send an email. Hey, matter of fact, I'm doing it right now. But that's not how it's framed by this individual. Check this out.

America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Threatened and harassed. It's an email requesting you just list what you're doing. How difficult was this? Do you see the disparity in how the free market, private sector, small, medium, big businesses operate and the government? This is not unusual. Do you have any idea how many people get a quarterly, weekly review email or a meeting like that every week going, what did you do?

This is a loser of an argument. I don't know how many times you're going to have to hear that. And the AstroTurf effort to destroy Doge and a more efficient government paid for by our taxes. The AstroTurf effort is getting exposed. Speaker Mike Johnson was on with Caitlin Collins last night talking about these town hall protests.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Folks, I'm not telling you everybody that shows up to protest against the Doge, everyone who shows up is a paid protester. I'm just telling you the left has a history of this, and there's some evidence that a lot of this is being ginned up by left-wing groups that have an agenda, and the constituents are actually being drowned out who support this effort. Check this out.

Okay, receipts incoming in a second, but stand by. You notice what she does there, Caitlin Collins. Speaker Johnson says there are paid protesters. She then changes the argument to what? Did you catch it? I'll get into the chat. She says... Well, they're not all paid. That's not what he said. He did not say every person there is a paid protester. You're switching the argument.

Are you going to be a journalist or an opinion host? Because that's an opinion. He did not say that. Mostly unpaid. Right. Mostly paid. Now, if you ever want to read an interesting take on this, how the Democrats and liberal groups advance a narrative. Read the book revolt against the masses by Fred Siegel. It's a fascinating book. I have no, I didn't publish it or anything. It's a great book.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
It's an older book. He talks about how the combination of media folks there, you saw that interest groups that pay people to do this stuff and congressional committees can advance an agenda and make it appear real. Like this is some kind of national groundswell for government waste and abuse. Well, that's not the case. Put up the stuff. Here are the headlines first.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
You see how they settle on a message? Speaker of MSNBC, Speaker Mike Johnson, without evidence. Of course, you got to throw that in there. Whenever they say without evidence, by the way, it means what, Justin? There's a significant amount of evidence, right? Pans town hall critics as paid protesters. Here's the Hill. Johnson claims town hall protesters, quote, paid by Democrats. It goes on.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Daily Beast. Johnson tries to shrug off anti-Doge town halls as a work of paid protesters. One more. Mike Johnson, independent, claims paid protesters are GOP town halls. Then backtracks when asked for proof. He did no such thing. And then we have this article in the Washington Beacon. Red District Doge protests, cited as proof of broad Musk backlash, were organized by left-wing groups.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
They know... They note that George Soros-funded groups, Indivisible and MoveOn, were at the center of the demonstrations. Both groups launched national, quote, mobilization efforts targeting the, quote, Trump-Musk agenda and Trump-Musk coup during the recess period. Again, this is called evidence. It's called receipts. This is what we do. I am not telling you.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I'm not telling you everyone there is funded by a George Soros group. I'm not telling you that. I, however, am telling you that their story, that, oh, this is all pure as the driven snow, no one's there, paid to be there, is likely BS. Here's the good news.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Folks, listen, one thing about Donald Trump. This is, I say it all the time. This guy is so underestimated on the political front. I'm not telling you everything's 4-D chess. I'm not telling you the guy's one of the Avengers.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Folks, a lot of this is funded by a wing of the party obsessed with basically DEI funding, funding for all kinds of initiatives overseas that are censorship-driven. And the stuff driving all this, a lot of it is DEI. And it is really, really taking it on the chin right now. I bring this topic up a lot. You know we cover a lot of economics, some cultural stuff, some foreign policy stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I bring this up a lot because what irks me most about DEI, and I think you guys understand this, I know you do, is it is racist on its face.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
When you're hiring and firing and admitting people into colleges for a bunch of limited resource things, like a college admission spot, and you say to someone, well, we're going to emphasize these traits, whatever it may be, LGBTQIA, BIOPC, skin color, religion, whatever it may be, it's zero sum. You are discriminating actively against someone else. This is not hard to figure out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
And a lot of these companies are starting to figure out, as cases start to percolate up to the Supreme Court, one there right now, by the way, that they could face severe liability for this. Politico, court allows CIA to fire employees who worked on DEI. Are you telling me again Donald Trump can't manage the branch? The view makes a comeback here as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
See how the show all kind of ties in together. Sonny Hostin, queen of the corrections, was she on her fifth or sixth on that thing we played on the show weeks back? Here's Sonny Hostin again making the case to kind of save DEI, but I want you to listen to the language. And I'd like you to tell me how DEI isn't racist on its face. Tell me. Again, tell us like we're teenagers. Explain slowly.

I'm just telling you he has unbelievable political diplomacy negotiating skills that are so frequently overlooked that it's hilarious to watch people who've gotten it wrong for years on foreign policy. For years. They're in think tanks. They're PhDs. They're geopolitical international diplomacy experts with air quotes. For years, they've told us, don't relocate the embassy to Jerusalem.

Okay, I strongly encourage you to actually read up on that. The evidence she cites is nonsense. There is a whole body of research on this that does not indicate that as well. Folks, I'm not sure how you're going to get a company to engage in widespread cohesion and esprit de corps when people who don't meet certain criteria have to fight extra hard to get a promotion.

That's not team building right there. That's team annihilating. Now we gave you kind of in the beginning the Saul Alinsky tactic where a limited portion of them parties focused on it. They are.

James Carville said the other day that when it comes to Donald Trump right now, some of the stuff he's doing, Carville's obviously a left-wing kind of tactical messaging guru on the left for the Democrats. He's been around forever. He has this theory of don't just stand there, do nothing. The Democrats can't figure this out, and they're scattershot all over the place right now.

Here's what I'm talking about. USA Today, consumers are boycotting major retailers. A blackout February 28th, which last time I checked was today. Folks, is this going to be as effective as the Chick-fil-A boycott? Do you remember that? Do anyone in the chat remember the infamous left-wing Chick-fil-A boycott? What is it, about 10, 15 years ago? The reason I remember it
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
is I don't know if I was running for office or what, but I was up in Frederick, Maryland on the day the Chick-fil-A boycott was supposed to happen. And the line to get a chicken sandwich was about four hours long. This is going to completely backfire again. I highly recommend you go out and boycott things today. Go out and buy them. But I'll prove it to you again.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
When I used to work at Fox, there's a Chick-fil-A right across the street from Fox in the middle of liberal Manhattan, right? The line is around the corner every single day. On boycott day, on non-boycott day, it doesn't matter. It's up to us to show our economic power too. I highly recommend you go out and buy some stuff today.

Here is a liberal on TikTok, very offended about that, saying that the normal people, quote, the normal people should basically close up their wallets today and what, do damage to the economy and companies because we're not all supporting racist DEI policies? This doesn't sound normal to me. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Folks, we have power too. We have wallets. A lot of us work for a living too and have cash to spend. This backfires spectacularly nearly every single time they try this. I'm not here to give them political lessons on how to isolate and follow Alinsky's Rule 13. Some of them are figuring it out, nor do I want to. It's not my job. I'm just telling you, this is not a message.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
What exactly are we boycotting again? Normal people, guys. Normal people. Democrats are in shambles. Again, many of them cannot seem to focus on a single message here. Therefore, they're all over the place. Play Gavin Newsom, would you? Did you see this one yesterday? Listen, Gav, the governor of California, I've had a podcast, very successful, with the number one live stream yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Yesterday, again, thank you very much for supporting the show in the final couple weeks here. We really appreciate it. You guys are the best. But Gavin Newsom, the radically far-left governor of California, is hell-bent on launching a podcast right now. Let's see how he does in the liberal space. And he's saying he's going to invite his opponents on. Hey! That would be a good thing.

You're never going to get a deal without the Palestinians. China's going to be fine if you let them in the WTO. The EU is going to support NATO with 2% of GDP. They have been wrong on just about everything. You give me 10 big foreign policy prescriptions by so-called geopolitical diplomacy experts, 12 of them are wrong out of 10, but there's only 10. Exactly, that's my point.

If I was still wearing the public commentator hat and opinion, I'd go on the show. I'd love to debate this guy. California versus the Florida model. I'll do it anytime. I got to run the Santa's clip coming up next to to show you that. But check this out.

America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Harley Glam Girl in the chat. Run your state, dude, right? I mean, imagine you're a California resident right now. You've got an illegal immigration crisis, a crime crisis, a government services crisis. You've had massive fires wipe out significant portions of one of America's most powerful cities. You've got residents who are taxed to death, businesses fleeing.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
You've got your residents fleeing to Nevada and Texas. You've got a state overwhelmed with budget problems, bloat, bloated government, identity politics, and Gavin Newsom's launching a podcast? You have nothing else to do? Contrast that with the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis. Here's Ron DeSantis talking about the border crisis, substantive stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
This is why these state models could not be any different. I had Byron Donalds on my radio show yesterday. He is now announced for governor. See who else jumps in the race there. But this, you want to talk about a state that's really well run? Move to Florida and you'll see what I'm talking about. The differences are profound. Check this out.

Do 10 air squats if you don't have bad knees or anything, and it clears your head right away. I forgot my head. You know what it is? Because my head's so clear, I didn't think of it.

Why are we playing that clip? Any idea? Fire it up in the chat. Any idea? What did I tell you before the election with the Biden-Harris agenda on the border? The Immigration Nationality Act gave President Biden all the powers he needed at the time to exclude any class of aliens for any reason for as much time as he needed. All you had to do was look at it. We put it on the screen a thousand times.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
He was acting like it didn't exist. So what happens? Donald Trump swears in in January, becomes president, says, hey. I used the INA before. Let's use it again. And look what happens. The border we were told can't be fixed is fixed like overnight, just like we told you. I'm not going to steer you wrong. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. I really appreciate it.

President Trump has this unique ability to just kind of like... Stephen King's not a big fan of mine, obviously. You remember the mist? He just like parts the mist and gets right to the point. So this happened yesterday. Keir Starmer, who is the new prime minister of the UK, was at the White House because they need the United States, the United Kingdom.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Haley will have that URL on RumbleUp for you. Stat, she's going to be the new 6 p.m. show, so we really appreciate your support there. Follow her on X, Haley. She's like five extra following, I think, since the Bongino crew got behind her. So we really appreciate it. I'll see you on the radio show here a little bit. And back here on Monday at 11 a.m. See you then.

America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
It's you know, we you know, we need them for trade, too. We're not on an island here in the United States by ourself. And Donald Trump gets that. And you ever notice when he has a foreign leader in the White House, he always does this white glove treatment. Let me tell you something. I don't want to shut me up if I'm going too long. He stops me.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I'm going to tell you something about this guy personally, the president of the United States, Donald Trump. Listen close here. I'm not telling him his best friend. I'm not name dropping. You sound like a jerk when you say that. But I've been around him in private enough. He has a near magical ability to make the person standing in front of him always feel like the most special person in the room.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
You ask anyone who's been around him, nobody does it like him. He took the honey out yesterday and made this relationship again work, and we need it. Here he is, though, also dropping the hammer here a little bit, talking about tariffs and how it's going to work right in front of the UK prime minister. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Thank you, Sean Cash. Love the white shirt. Someone asked, is it date night? Of course, it's one of our last ones. So, of course it is. That's why. Do you get why this clip is so important to open up the show? Folks, we don't cover a ton of foreign policy on the show. Why? Because there's so much going on domestically I'd like to take care of issues in the United States first.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
However, listen to me, beam in. This segment is not about foreign policy. It's about Donald Trump, the negotiator. The left wants you to believe and tell you a story that Donald Trump is some unhinged negotiating lunatic who fires off ridiculous things and doesn't mean anything. No, I promise you, he means a lot of it. He is very seriously considering a bold tariff agenda as a negotiating tool.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I got the white shirt on again because I'm going out with Paula tonight and she likes the white shirt. So if you like the white shirt in the chat, let us know if you want to vote it down. We'll throw it in the dustbin for the next two weeks while we're with each other. Ladies and gentlemen, before I even get started, I'm obviously not in the FBI yet. I do not start for another two weeks.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I'm not a huge fan of tariffs. I've said that over and over. But if we can use it to reduce tariffs as a negotiating tool, which I believe in the end we're going to get to, they can be effective. But did you notice when he's got Keir Starmer in front of him, who is, by the way, a... pretty devout left-leaning guy. He's not one of us in the MAGA movement.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
He's certainly not a conservative populist by any respect. But do you see how the guy who's supposedly an unhinged lunatic is out there and right in front of the media and the United Kingdom press that's watching this, he manages to kind of dial down the temperature just enough that they know he's serious about tariffs, but that he's a negotiator too? Does that make sense?
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I'm telling you the truth. I'm telling you... The terrorists may not happen. It's up to him. It's not up to us. And he's going to work that out with the U.S. trade rep and everyone else. Howard Letnick over at Commerce. Besant over at Treasury.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
But don't fall in this leftist trap where you get caught every single time falling for every true social post as if he isn't using it as a tactical negotiating tactic. I'm going to leave that part there. Here's Donald Trump again yesterday at the meeting, echoing words of Ronald Reagan, one of my favorite presidents, the trust but verify front. Again, I thought Donald Trump is an unhinged lunatic.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
This is what the left wants you to believe. He sounds very Reagan-esque here, talking about, hey, listen, I'm willing to negotiate with Russia. Hey, guys, who in the chat? You guys have a 50 or above or 40 or above. Do you remember this president called Ronald Reagan, double R? You do. Pretty popular guy. Won two massive elections. You think he negotiated with the Soviet Union at the time? No, no.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Did you read a history book? Him negotiating with Gorbachev. How are you going to get anything done if you're not talking to these people? If you can explain that to me like I'm a 12-year-old, I'd appreciate it. Hey, we're going to get, here's what we need. We're going to get to the end of the highway. Here's what we want from them. But we're not going to drive there?
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Here's Trump echoing the words of Ronald Reagan that, hey, I'm willing to negotiate with Putin, but we're going to trust but verify. Listen to this. This is very important. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I want to listen. I was two points and takeaways from this. Number one. Donald Trump understands that we need certain things from people. One of them are rare earth minerals. This deal in Ukraine over rare earths is a huge W for us. We need those rare earths, folks. We cannot function as an advanced economy without them. You want them from China or you want them from Ukraine?
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
He also knows Vladimir Putin does not want this deal. Why does Vladimir Putin, folks in the chat, not want us to do a business deal with Ukraine? I told you this yesterday because some of these minds are in areas that Russia would like to get their hands on.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
They're going to have a really hard time taking these areas if we have an interest in the economic production of rare earths because I can guarantee you Donald Trump is going to defend that. Do you get where I'm going with this? I have never seen a human being more underestimated in my life for his political skills than president Trump ever. And I get it.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Those are two completely distinct and different roles. They are separate. I am still a political opinion host on this podcast. I've treated it as such. I will treat my FBI position the exact opposite way. I am a not a partisan individual in that job. There is going to be a, it's not a fine line. It is a bold line. I am not there yet. I appreciate the comments in the chat. I've been watching them.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
You had lefties out there, folks in the swampy right that don't like Donald Trump. Oh, look at Dan budget. No president Trump. And I've disagreed on a lot of issues. Some on the show. He's not the type of guy. When you disagree with him, you're out of his inner circle. Obviously, he's the one who selected me as the deputy director of the FBI. You don't have to agree with the guy and everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I just ask that you go into it with a clear head and don't take the other approach either. Oh, this guy's crazy. How crazy is he? How crazy is a deal where we say... Ukraine, you got something we need, rare earths. We have something you need, weapons. Russia does not like this deal. We don't like that Russia's keeping this war ongoing.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I've got a bargaining chip against Putin, this rare earth deal in Ukraine, and I'm going to use it. And then I'm going to go to Putin, and Putin may say, well, you got to deal with Ukraine. Well, we have rare earths too. Maybe we can do a deal with you. Good trade, ladies and gentlemen, makes good partners.

America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
It's really hard to enter into World War III with a country you have a significant economic interest in. It's one of the reasons China, by the way, I'm not telling you we're not going to, I hope we don't, but it's one of the reasons China is going to have to think twice about starting a conflict with us. They have trillions of dollars of U.S. assets that would collapse if they start World War III.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
I'm not telling you it's going to stop them. I'm telling you it's going to make them think twice. Trump is smarter than most of his critics. That's the irony of this whole thing. But they're not going to get stepped on either. So I gave you a little bit of the honey up front where he does this thing where he dials the temperature down in front of people.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
He lets the United Kingdom press see we're not the enemy, but we're serious about our negotiations. Brilliant. Little bit of this, little bit of that. You remember the old tune from the little bit of this little bit. That's what he does. And he does better than anyone. Here's J.D.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Vance, our vice president, who's letting Keir Starmer from the United Kingdom know that their ongoing attacks on free speech, which are serious, folks, people showing up about online posts, that that's not going to be accepted either. And Vice President Vance, and I'm sure all these, President Trump knew exactly where Vice President Vance was going to go with this.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
They made sure to get this in front of an international audience, that that's not acceptable either. They are not going to be stepped on either. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
That was not an accident. You see how Vice President Vance does it too? He starts with the honey. Hey, I know we have a special relationship. I get that. But we need to talk about this free speech item, which is a really, really big deal. Producer Jim, where was free speech in the Bill of Rights? Was it like the 6th or 7th? I'm confused. I always forget. Producer Jim says the first one.
The Dan Bongino Show
America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
It's the first one. It's almost like the founding fathers. It's almost like they thought about that first. Good job, Producer Jim. I'm glad you had the copy of the Constitution on your desk. The first one. You don't have that, ladies and gentlemen. You don't have anything. And while I'm still in the last few weeks of the show, we have a couple weeks left with you here.

Breaking yesterday from Nick Sorter on Twitter, President Trump and Secretary Rubio secured the extradition of 29 top cartel leaders from Mexico to the United States for prosecution.

America Is Back In The World Stage, And We Love To See It (Ep. 2433)
Producer Jim told me that was the Kiki Camarena case, which I encourage you to look up. It's a very disturbing story, a horrifying story, what happened. But if you toy with our agents or our military, you're going to find out the hard way that we will never stop until we get you. President Trump is as serious as a heart attack over this.

Central bank digital currencies. Folks, if you want a totalitarian society, allowing the government central bank to create a digital currency is the way to do it. It would be an absolute disaster. The government would basically have a digital trail of everywhere you spent money. firearms store. You're spending money online. What are you doing online? The government would know everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
They'll say they won't, but they will. They're definitely going to track it. Also, one of the things about a central bank digital currency that freaks me out is that the government can implement negative interest rates for the first time. I don't want to get too in the weeds on it, but the gist of it is this. The way to monetize the debt is to implement negative interest rates.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And what's a negative interest rate? It's exactly how it sounds. You put your money in a bank, you get a positive interest rate, right? You get a return. What if they were negative? Now, you're probably saying in the chat, right, Michael, you're a smart guy. Well, then there's an easy way out of that. You just take your freaking money out of the bank.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
If the bank's taking your money every day through negative interest rates, which is what they'd be doing, you take it out. You put two and two together, if you have a central bank digital currency and there's no paper, there ain't no way to take it out. You could devalue the currency dramatically through negative interest rates and surveil every single person. Unusual whales breaking.

Yesterday, that thing was filtering through the live chat, and I'm like, what the hell is, I thought it was the Fugazi.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
So that's Rock'em Sock'em, this is what he's doing. They're still hung up on, did you see the Marjorie Taylor Greene video, by the way? It's on my X feed if you want to see it. They accost Marjorie Taylor Greene up in Congress about the J6 thing. They're still upset about that. And what does he do? He pardons pro-lifers. He keeps hitting them and he's not letting them get their sea legs.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
This reminds me, you know, although I don't like Arnold Schwarzenegger at all, obviously he was a fake Republican, right? But he ran for governor and this guy wins the primary on the Democrat side, I forget his name, but Schwarzenegger drops like a six, $7 million ad bomb on his head on day one. And the guy can't keep up with it and never really got his sea legs back.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
This is what's happening with the media now. They want to ask about J6, but then they're upset about the pro-lifers, and then they're upset about the JFK files, and then they're upset about Trump exposing Bank of America. They don't know what to do. The Rock'em Sock'em Robots, I know we kind of F around a lot, but it's not funny. Like, I'm dead serious. This is a real strategy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Again, Bannon, a friend of the movement, calls it the flood the zone strategy. I don't care what you call it. The minute they get upset about one thing, he picks another one. Here is the one thing, you know, because Donald Trump and I don't agree on everything. And let me just say in advance, folks, and I'm not name dropping. So please, that's just lame and stupid.

And you sound like a freaking dork. I know the president. OK, not well known. We've had dinner a couple of times. He was kind enough to invite us to his club, but I haven't been with him a lot. So it's just like reverse name dropping. But the times I have spoken to him, one of the things I always found very kind of endearing about him is there's this rumor out there about President Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
It's a media driven rumor, of course, that you either have to agree with him or he is going to isolate you to the phantom zone and you're out of his inner circle. I'm telling you that's total bullshit. I could bring my wife in here as a witness to our dinner in Bedminster when she was just us three, and I talked to him about abortion. We disagree on abortion. It's okay. It's okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
This is the one area I do disagree with him a little bit. Donald Trump wants interest rates to come down. Folks, I think that's a real mistake. Believe me, as an investor, significant investor in Rumble and the stock market, It would benefit me for interest rates to come down because it's easy money for companies. However, I really don't think it's good for the economy right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
We've got to suck this inflation out. I'm not saying we need an interest rate hike, but I don't think we need interest rates to come down right now. We got to dry up a little bit of the money supply. But listen to him. Here he is saying, hey, I'm going to squeeze these guys and we'll see what happens. Check this out. The interest rates will come down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
do you expect the fed to listen to you yeah you know where this comes from i've had a lot of conversations about this with them He's a real estate guy and he's a business guy. And obviously he's a business guy. I'll just ask you a simple question, folks. You're a business guy. You have to take out a $10 million loan to build up a property you renovated.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You want to pay 5% interest on the loan or you want to pay 10%? Okay, thanks. 5%, correct? That's where this comes from because he's a business guy. I don't fault him for it. I'm not mad at him. I just think it's a mistake. If we push interest rates down and inflation explodes, he's going to have a far bigger problem to deal with.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Because, folks, as you've seen with inflation, he's like, shut up, right? Do I have to shut up? Tell me to shut up. Am I good? Okay. Folks, I know these economic segments, people hate them. If interest rates come down too much and money starts flooding through the economy again and inflation ticks up to 5%, 7%, we're going to have a lot of big problems to deal with, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You don't want to pay $72 for cat food. That's why. The only area I disagree with, I think we should stop. I think we should definitely chill on that. Okay, moving on. Here's another thing I would like Donald Trump to really get on right away. I know he's looking at it. I know his team is looking at it. They were all over this. Folks, the European Union is totally effing us over.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
They're effing us at the drive-thru Leo Getz style thing. They're driving. They are screwing us over. I've seen it with Rumble. I don't know if you know this, but the European Union is pushing this misinformation and disinformation laws. And that's why Rumble is not in a lot of foreign countries. We're not in France. We're not in Brazil.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Because Chris from Rumble, Pavlovsky, who I admire greatly, Chris was told by foreign countries, hey, you need to censor this stuff or we're going to pull your site down. You know what Chris said? Double-barreled F.U., We're pulling the site down in advance because Chris is a good guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And thank you for Rand Paul for the shout out for Rumble, saying that the whistleblower, Chia Morella, that the only place you were allowed to talk about that was Rumble. And that's correct. Thank you, Rand Paul, for the shout out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Bottom line, we have to fight this right away because American tech companies are going to be destroyed through social, Rumble, and others if this EU censoring continues. Here's Mike Benz on the depth of the problem. I know the Trump team's on this. They're going to squeeze on it, but it's important we move quick. Check this out.

So folks, before we get to the JFK stuff, which is extensive, and again, I have a kind of obviously a personal attachment to this, given my prior line of work and my concern with the Secret Service. I just want you to remember the Secret Service is not an intelligence gathering entity for obvious reasons.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
It is a means for European Union countries to shut down tech companies that don't censor. It is a huge deal. And we need the Trump team, and I know they're on it, to battle this thing full force. By the way, thank you to everyone who leaves tips in the chat. I just want to say in advance, totally unnecessary. I am not here for more of your money.

It said that four companies control over 80% of the US meat industry. Reports say China now controls the largest portion of US pork. These companies use mob-like tactics to crush American family farms, and with the additives they're putting in our food, Americans are stuck with sketchy meat. So what can we do about this?

Yesterday, however, a federal judge in Seattle blocked at least temporarily President Trump's attempt to rescind birthright citizenship to illegals per the AP. He called it blatantly unconstitutional. Let me give you. You know what? First, let me play this clip from The Five. The queen of the currents, which doesn't sound so great. Is that me? Is that me or Jim? That's me?
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
That's actually my voice. You guys, I don't know what you did with the echo feature. Let me play this first. Here is the great, the legend, Greg Gutfeld, who I watched the five to watch Greg and Jessica go at it. Again, folks, it's not personal. I don't dislike Jessica. She was always very nice to me. I just disagree with her politically.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I think the stuff she says is frankly pretty stupid, but Greg always tears her a new one. Here's Jessica on birthright citizenship. Notice how she doesn't even answer the question. I'm not even sure she really knows what it means. Oh, yeah, it means you were born. No, this is a big legal issue right now. It's not just you were born here. You have to actually read the 14th Amendment.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
So I'm just throwing that out there because I get this email all the time. Weren't you an instructor in the academy? They must've told you what happened. No, they didn't. I'd have the biggest story in the world. What motivation could I possibly have for not passing on to you the biggest story, you know, in modern American history? If I had evidence, it'd be crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You guys are so funny. You guys are funny. I tell you, don't worry about tip. We get more tips now. You would think that was like a psyop, like I was reversing. I love you guys. Forget it.

Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I don't think people know. I really don't. Do you know sometimes, I don't want to get distracted, I want to get back to this, but just one quick thing. Do you have any idea how many times I'm in a little group of people, it's rare when I get out,
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And they'll say something like, like when I was at this Facebook event and I was talking to a bunch of folks, I met Chamath Palihapitiya, I played his clips before, super nice guy. But I was talking to a bunch of people and they're stunned that we're the number one live stream in the United States for politics on just about every four out of five days of the week. They were stunned.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
They have no idea how powerful this Bongino Army is. You guys are amazing, and I want you to know I appreciate it. Here, getting back to that, Greg is accurate, and Jessica, of course, is not, the queen of the Karens. Ladies and gentlemen, birthright citizenship by the 14th Amendment, as always, there's a clause in there, subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Now, there is an open question.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I want you to remember these two terms. You want to sound smart in your group of legal friends? Ask them if there is a difference between political and territorial jurisdiction and watch them spin their wheels. Territorial jurisdiction would be the idea if you're born in the United States under any conditions whatsoever, you are in fact a citizen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
That has never been a fully legally decided decision. There are a lot of legal scholars who believe that the 14th Amendment interpreted the right way meant political jurisdiction. That if you were born in the United States to American citizens or people subject to the political jurisdiction thereof, then that's what they meant.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
If you're born overseas to two American citizens, if me and Paula had another kid on her trip to Spain, they're still American citizens because they're subject to political jurisdiction thereof. Not territorial. Folks, this is not a decided question. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And I don't believe if you go and look at the history of this with Dred Scott and slavery, that the people who wrote the 14th Amendment meant it to mean territorial jurisdiction, that if you're born here, no questions asked, you're a citizen. I don't believe it. And I think anyone telling you otherwise is lying. And I think if it gets to the Supreme court, they could have a real problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And I'm going to tell you why Gorsuch is a hardcore originalist. Just look at the McGirt decision. And if Gorsuch is going to play it straight, he made a big decision with Oklahoma McGirt turning over all that land. That was a huge decision. That's caused a tremendous ripple effect in Oklahoma and elsewhere. Look up the decision. If you know what I mean, he's like, Hey, we wrote a treaty.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
That's why I don't get into like these conspiracy theory stuff. Because if you have, you know, if you have a theory on something, throw it out there, but back it up with evidence. I want to get to this first. Trump yesterday, folks, the winning is just piling up. I mean, Donald Trump is going for it right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
That's it. Well, folks, if you're going to go back and look at why we wrote the 14th Amendment the way we did, I don't believe it involved territorial jurisdiction at all. It was political. Don't let them spin your wheels on this. Jessica doesn't know what she's talking about. Greg does. Really smart guy. Speaking of deportations and border protections, folks, they're happening. Look at this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Donald Trump. Folks, that's why we titled today the winning. The winning doesn't. I don't know how many times I can write this headline into the show. Every single day we could do it. The winning continues. It's Monday edition. The winning continues Friday edition. Border encounters drop sharply as Trump launches crackdown on illegal immigration.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
This is like the most unshocking headline you've ever seen. That's true. Mayorkas said the border was closed and this would never happen. You tell people cross the border illegally and we're going to deport you and you start the deportation flights and shocker, people don't want to come here. This is not hard. President Donald Trump signed the number of border security measures on Monday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Folks, there's a line of people now trying to get back to Mexico and other countries who are here illegally. None of this is surprising. Why? Check this video out from Fox. This is Bill Malugin talking about roundups starting already. There's a way not to get involved in a roundup. Don't break the law and come here illegally. This isn't hard. I don't hate anybody.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
My wife's a legal immigrant in the country. But if she had to follow the rules, then damn it, so do you. This isn't difficult. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Donald Trump is that, you know, one of the points I made in the primary when I endorsed Donald Trump early, a lot of people said, I'm going to go with another guy or woman, Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis. I like DeSantis. I'm not too crazy about Nikki Haley. And they say, because Donald Trump is going to be a lame duck. I said, you are missing this whole thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Folks, let me ask you a question. What sane American objects to this, an MS-13 member, in the country illegally? So he's a criminal for entering the country illegally, period.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
But then there's accusations that this guy is apparently some significant gang member in the United States who's going to cause a bunch of chaos, because I told you yesterday, a small group of people caused an inordinate amount of violent crime. Who is going to object to this? The answer is crazy people are going to object to this. But there's a new sheriff in town.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I'm going to circle back to the beginning of the show because I can't say it enough. Some people disagreed with me. Dan, we don't need Donald Trump. We need DeSantis. We need Haley. I love DeSantis. Again, not a huge fan. I do. I love Ron DeSantis. I got a video of him coming up. He's fantastic. I just didn't think it was his time, period. D, how much did that bother me? We had all these DeSantis.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I'm like, guys, I love the guy. It's just not his time. Donald Trump has four more years to get things done. He is going to come in in the FO portion of the F around. And this is exactly what he's doing. Do you see now the benefit of it? All right, I'm beating this up. But look at the people he hired too. Here's his press secretary, Carolyn Leavitt, who I adore.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Here she is saying, hey man, this is just the beginning. Like we're not done. This thing has just started. You don't like it. Get on the train or get run over by it. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I love this woman. I saw her at a Miami Heat game down in Miami. I think she's a Celtics fan. And it was the finals. And she yells. She yells across. She probably remembers this. Bojito! Anyone who calls you only by your last name. I love you right away. It's like a New York thing and a Boston thing. This woman is going to be a total ball buster, and I mean that in a good way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
This is what's happening right now. Now, I want you to notice something in addition. Here's a couple of the educational portions of the edutainment portion of the show, educational entertainment. We talked about political territorial jurisdiction. That is not a settled argument, okay? Anyone telling you that is lying to you. If they're lawyers, they should be disbarred because they're too stupid.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Another thing I want to address is it's interesting. Now, I know the left isn't the hierarchy and they don't care about hypocrisy, but it's still up to us to propose to the normies out there and to show them how hypocritical the left is. Do you remember when Arizona back in 2010 instituted SB 1070? The left called it the show me your papers law.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And they basically said Arizona, Arizona law enforcement officials can involve themselves in the immigration function. You guys remember that, Jan Brewer? It was a long time ago. You may not. It doesn't really matter. If you don't remember it, the left went crazy and said, Arizona cannot enforce immigration law. It is a federal issue. And they fought like crazy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
There are thousands of hours of video on this. Now, Donald Trump's in office. He is the head of the federal government and the executive branch. And because the left doesn't care about hypocrisy, all they care about is hierarchy and taking down and dismantling structures of power they're not involved in, like Donald Trump, they take the exact opposite approach.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Here's Big Tish James up in New York, the New York State Attorney General, a hack and a tyrant and a life loser. New York has laws that protect immigrants and limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Wait, keep that up. I thought it was a federal issue. Now it's a state issue again. Those laws should be followed by law enforcement and officials in our state.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
The whole point about a Donald Trump second term, number one, he's not really a lame duck. Yeah, he can't run again. But, You have J.D. Vance. You have the Trump kids who would consider running Laura Trump. His political dynasty is not over. So he's not technically, technically he's a lame duck, but de facto, he's not a lame duck, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I'll always uphold our laws and protect immigrant New Yorkers. Now, you see, now it's a state issue. Go look it up. Someone in the chat, Anita, put up a link to SB 1070 Arizona, and you'll see, you'll read the exact opposite argument, the exact opposite argument by the left. Arizona can't enforce immigration law. It's a federal thing. Tish James in New York.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
New York can ignore federal immigration law. It's a state thing. These people are freaking frauds. Now, Tom Holman is another FO, F-A-F-O guy. You know Tom Holman. We love him. Tom's an amazing guy. He's the border czar. I hope Tom Holman is sincere on this. I have no reason to believe otherwise. Tom Holman's like, hey, man, 18 U.S.C. 1324 harboring illegal aliens.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
If you're going to be one of these government officials that's going to hide illegal aliens breaking the law, you may find yourself in the clink, too. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I mean, I can declassify a document, too. And if middlemen get in the way and put a bunch of black dots over everything, we're not going to learn much. So I think President Trump is committed to getting the information out there. I'm going to go into this in a little bit, but I don't think there's any question there was some significant CIA involvement. The question is, what was that involvement?
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You can read it yourself right there. Bringing in and harboring certain aliens. What do you think, Tom Holman's making it up? It's right there. Folks, I'm telling you right now, the fact that this guy is in his second term and has absolutely nothing to lose, You have the potential for the greatest four-year run in the golden age of MAGA Republican politics you're going to see in your lifetime.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I don't know what's going to happen in the future. I'm not one of these Eckhart Tolle power-on-now guys. I don't really care about any of that stuff. But the hard reality is we only live in the now. And you are living right now. I hope you understand this. You guys get this in the golden age of MAGA politics. There is one obstacle for us transforming the government completely, and that's the House.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
The House has a slim majority. We have enough in the Senate if we use reconciliation to do big things. We also have a couple of Democrats, like Fetterman, who may come over. By the way, you guys see me walk in with the Fetterman thing? You guys see this? I never wear hoodies. It is like global warming in Florida. It's like 40 degrees. That's obviously a joke.

So I wore my don't get, you see this, the don't get dead hoodie? I came in rocking the Fetterman hoodie. I should have kept it on for the show. But Fetterman, we have other people who may come over with us on the other side. The shorts, right? I know. What do you think? Should we do shorts? All our proceeds go to, it's a great way to raise money for charity.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
We gave away a ton of money thanks to the shirts. Okay, back to the show. Here's Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, showing you again how this is done dealing with these freaking media lunatics. They are not undocumented, folks. There's a reason they don't have documents. The reason they don't have documents is they decided not to get them because they broke the law.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Second, the fact that he doesn't have to worry about reelection, I told you was a positive because he's going to go in there like a freaking wrecking ball. And that's exactly what happened. Did you see this video yesterday? Donald Trump in front of all of these WEF, Davos elite, like foie gras eating, you know, uh, the elite bow tie wearing crowd.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
He gives a great example here, and this is how you should deal with the media. You never, ever accept the premise of their euphemism questions. Undocumented. They are illegal aliens. They are aliens to the country by legal standard, and they are here illegally. That is the term. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Dude, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be distracted, but Uncle Sam in the chat has probably the most genius idea. He says, Dan, you need the Fetterman package, the hoodie and the shorts combo. You know, he may be a Democrat, but being that the money goes to charity, I'm sure he wouldn't object either. I don't know, does he have like a trademark on his name? That's actually not a bad idea.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
The don't get dead hoodie and shorts. I actually love that idea. The John friend. Maybe we'll see. Can someone send an email to his office and tell him it's for charity? There it is. There it is right there. Guy pulled it offline. There is the federal. That is a great idea, Uncle Sam. Thank you. This is why I love you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And thank you to Speak the Truth McGroin, one of the senior members of the McGroin crowd for putting up SB 1070 in Arizona. You can read it yourself. But that's how you deal with these media goons, folks. Do not let them play the euphemisms game. They are not undocumented. The reason they don't have documents is because they're here illegally. End of story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
That is an appropriate and proper legal term if you look at the terminology. Don't let the media do the euphemisms game. If you win the word games, you win the argument before even making it. You understand that? If you start talking about things like, here's words you should never use. undocumented individuals, throw that right in the garbage, they were legal aliens, and gender affirming care.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Listen, I don't want anyone to get too excited about the release of the, uh, JFK, RFK, MLK files, because there's going to be a significant declassification, um, Significant effort to obstruct the declassification, engage in significant redactions.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
There is no such thing. There is no such thing as gender affirming care. The only gender affirming care is your original gender when you were born because that's your gender. Don't use these terms. Now, Donald Trump is headed out right now to California and North Carolina to review the damage from the devastating wildfires. Here is the California Attorney General, this guy, Rob Bonta.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Now, you'd think this guy would be concerned about finding the arsonists, people who are burning the state down. No. Illegal immigration is so important, specifically to the state of California, to refill the population, to prevent them from losing House of Representatives members in their demographic destiny argument, which they try to make all the time. We played the cut.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And the Electoral College, that even as the place burns, this is their big concern, is this illegal immigration raid, because they don't want to lose population. That's what's really behind this. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Did you see Donald Trump just tear up the Bank of America CEO right in front of his face? Folks, this made this an international story and now people are paying attention to the censoring that happened and the debanking. That's the power of the pulpit. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Again, a couple points here. Number one, you see how this clown joker from California, the Attorney General Bonta, is now back to immigration as a state issue again when they made the exact opposite argument with SB 1070? And second, the guy's state is burning to the ground. Billions of dollars, billions of dollars in property damage. Entire neighborhoods wiped out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You've got arsonists potentially behind some of these fires. And what's this dipshit involved in? He's concerned about illegals, gang members, and others being deported back to the countries they came from because they came here illegally. By the way, thank you to Hoyden993, all caps, great show, Dan and crew. I hope you think so.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I was a little nervous because I know my voice sounds really terrible and I was afraid it was going to kind of come off bad, but I think once we kind of got into flow, everything was okay. My voice is still a little scratchy. All right, a couple more things I want to get to today. We've got some time left for you here because they're important.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Elizabeth Warren, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and others are engaged in this battle to keep Pete Hegseth from being the Secretary of Defense. It's not going to happen. Hegseth has the votes. He is going to get through, bank on it, cash that check, spend the money, okay? However, let me just tell you how to kind of direct your political anger here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And I mean this in a tactical way, not an emotional way. Forget Susan Collins. I don't get emotional about these things. Susan Collins from Maine, she's not a Republican, okay? She runs as a Republican. She's the best you're going to get. Don't waste any time. She's a political survivor up there. I'm serious. The fact that she's fighting against Pete is annoying.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
She's not going to sink the nomination. He's fine. Even if Mitch McConnell votes, no, J.D. 's the tiebreaker, Vice President Vance. So don't worry about that. Murkowski is a different story. The reason I get so angry at Murkowski is she is a freaking Republican from a blood red state in Alaska. Folks, this woman has to go. She will do anything to stay in power.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
They have manipulated voting systems. She has run as a write-in after losing primaries, the Joe Miller thing. She is a disgrace. She is the single most destructive Republican up there to the point where I've never told you ever ever to vote for a Democrat over a Republican.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And I don't, I'm not sure I'm telling you that, but this is the first time I'm considering it because she's that bad and you are never, ever going to get rid of her. I would rather deal with a Democrat for six years and finally get some sanity back than to have to deal with her for 12, 18 more years. She is a total disaster. It should tell you something that Murkowski, Collins, whatever.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Don't even waste your time on Collins. I'm serious. She is what she is. She gets elected all the time in Maine. Murkowski's a different story. We should have a diehard up there. We should have a Ted Cruz, Mike Lee type up there. And we don't. Doesn't it tell you something that her and Elizabeth Murkowski and Elizabeth Warren are leveling the same attacks against Pete Hegseth?
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
That's who Lisa Murkowski is. Here's Pocahontas. Again, with the fairy tale that Pete is some kind of out-of-control drunk. I have known Pete Hegseth 10 years. Whatever. I've told you this a thousand times. The story is bullshit. And everybody who knows him will tell you. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You know, the only person on video making really bad decisions about alcohol is Elizabeth Warren. Do you remember? Thank you guys for pulling this up, Jim. This was genius. Do you remember Elizabeth Warren in maybe the cringiest moment of the election cycle? Do you want a beer? Like it was totally, this woman hasn't, this is the fakest, this is the only woman on tape with cringy alcohol moments.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You know, the freaking cringiest thing. I love when she asked her husband, Hey, by the way, she looks like the twist off thing is hilarious. It was probably a pop off top and she didn't even know or something. The woman is a total mess. If you're agreeing with Elizabeth Warren and you're Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, you're probably doing it wrong. Folks, the woman is a disgrace.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Folks, you understand why this is important? The debanking by a number of banks is a very real phenomenon we all know happened. Don't bullshit us, okay? Everybody knows it happened. When you win the presidency, you have the biggest bully pulpit in the world. Whatever Donald Trump says is news. He's the president. Whatever he said before was news, but not to this extent.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
She is a total mess. And to the citizens of Alaska who listen to my show or are on the radio over there, please, you have got to get rid of her politically. She needs to be removed from that office. She is terrible. She kills the Republican cause in what should be a blood-red sea. That's an easy vote for Pete. Shameful. Folks, thanks for tuning in, tolerating my destroyed vocal cords.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
The inauguration funk caught us all. I hope Andrew Klavan feels better. I saw on Daily Wire on X, he said he was taking a day off for the first time in a while. But a lot of people, I think, standing out in the cold. By the way, the cold weather doesn't really cause colds, but you tend to touch your nose more because you get a lot of mucus and everything. So I think that's what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You shake a bunch of hands, you're touching your face, you get all sick. So everybody came back sick with the funk from the inauguration. Michael thinks it was a Joe Biden bioweapon sprayed above the city so all of us came back with the funk. But Michael, unbelievably, he must have an immune system like freaking Wolverine. He was like sick for a day and that was it. Poor Evita's dying.
The Dan Bongino Show

You've got bank regulators now who are unquestionably on watch. Like, did this really happen where people cancel for political reasons, which a lot of people suspect happened? This is the power of the bully pulpit. This is why there is no substitute for winning. Anyone telling you, oh my gosh, you know, we're going to lose this, but it'll build political momentum for next time, bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
There is no substitute for winning. The bully pulpit matters. This has now become, if you go on social media, a huge topic of discussion, the debanking efforts by a lot of these, what I believe were liberal banking institutions that effed over conservatives. A couple of people in the chat said it was glorious. Yeah, it was. Tell it like it is. You're damn right. It was awesome.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
This is the benefit of having a, quote, lame duck president. He doesn't have anything to lose, and the most dangerous people in the world are people with nothing to lose. Here's Trump yesterday, again, same speech, just filleting these global collectivist Green New Deal watermelon policies. Watermelon, yeah, green on the outside, commie red on the inside. Everybody knows this is a scam.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Everybody knows this is a proxy for communism. That's where the watermelon comes from, green on the outside, red on the inside. Everybody knows it. Here he has taken it to the Green New Scam. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Was that involvement some monitoring that they may have missed on Oswald? I'm just going to tell you something. We're coming out hot today, by the way. I mean, obviously, it's almost like a cold open. In my time in the Secret Service Training Academy as a student and an instructor, I'm just telling you what we were told. I'm not telling you it's real or not, so don't jump down my throat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Now, the World Economic Forum collectivists lost their shit over this. They lost it because they've, folks, their term for all this, their buzz term is collective action. Collective action is a proxy term for globalists. What they mean is, Individual countries shouldn't act in their own best interest. They should act in the best interest of the globe, collectivist action.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Of course, that's ridiculous because different countries have different governing systems. Some of them are totalitarian, authoritarian. The United States needs to take care of the United States first. But because the United States is the richest country in the world because of our
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
system of our constitutional Republican, our entrepreneurial free market system, the collectivists around the world hate us. So they want this leveling equity bullshit where they take all that. They basically take the spoils of our hard work. It happens at not just at the individual level where people want to tax, you know, the so-called rich to pay people who don't work.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
It happens around the globe too. That's what they mean by collective action. I want you to watch this WEF elite here, losing her shit over this. They were in full panic mode. And I want you to listen at the end where she says, hey, the best thing we can do is ignore this stuff. You're going to ignore the United States? Are you sure? Be careful what you ask for.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
You may get it because you're collectivist institutions, whether it's NATO or other institutions for security or energy cooperation, rely on us, not you. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
If they view the Trumpian moment as something to learn from, the world economy is in trouble. It doesn't matter how many people vote for a different new way forward. The collectivists around the world are telling their people, hey, basically ignore this guy. The old way is the way. Don't let it happen. We got to keep the squeeze on these people, folks, and expose them.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
These great reset crowd people who want this collectivist action bullshit, we're going to expose them at every opportunity. So let me get back to what I was talking about in the beginning of the show, the JFK, RFK, MLK files. Here's a video of Donald Trump saying he's going to release these.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I want to discuss a very specific problem with it, though, because Tulsi Gabbard at the ODNI, Director of National Intelligence, has not been confirmed yet. So we have a problem. If you listen to some of the Mike Benz, you know, Mike Benz, our deep state specialist.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I'm just telling you it was passed to us. What was always passed to us is it was Oswald and Oswald alone. Again, don't jump down my throat. It's not my specific opinion. I'm just telling you that's what was always told to us. So could they be hiding it from us too? Of course not. I got a big show today. Obviously, you hear my voice. The inauguration funk caught everyone.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
If you listen to some of his audio on his X feed, he was doing a bunch of interviews and he was saying that the person in charge right now at the ODNI, the acting is basically a DEI person who is a holdover from the prior administration. So she's responsible for the declassification, ladies and gentlemen, good luck on what you're going to get. I'll tell you what I heard.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I'll tell you what I think they're hiding. And I'll tell you why it matters most importantly. This is a very sensitive topic for me. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Now, everything will be revealed. I sincerely hope that that happens. Folks, the issue we're going to have is the person in charge now, before we get Tulsi in there, is definitely a Biden holdover who has an interest like some deep state people, one of them being Mike Pompeo. I thought he was one of us. He's not one of us. in keeping these things secret.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Here's the question, I believe the big question about the declassification, specifically of JFK, RFK and MLK. Was the government involved in using these people for specific propaganda efforts and manipulating them through CIA folks or other intelligence people? Like I said, when we were in training, we were told it was just Oswald.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Not that I necessarily believe that, but I want you to listen to Pompeo. This is an excellent interview. Pompeo was zero interest in getting this stuff out there. He was the director of the CIA, sex state, right? Here he is with John Stossel, who's a libertarian. Stossel's like, hey man, this is 60 years ago. Like, are we going to release this information or what?
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I want you to listen to his words very specifically.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
because he says there are still some issues outstanding even though it's 60 years ago that could impact us right now i think he's talking about some sensitive cia programs that may involve some pretty significant information however we need to see it it's been 60 years this is how conspiracy theories flower when the government hides information check this out why'd you fight to keep the jfk files secret uh because i was trying to keep americans safe
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
That to me confirms it, that there is some deeper level of CIA involvement here that the United States government is unwilling to tell us. Is it the CIA's role in the assassination? The answer, folks, is I don't know. My suspicion is probably not. That the CIA, I believe, and we'll see when it comes out, and I'm applying the Bongino rule here, so I want to just be candid with you. I'm speculating.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Me, Michael, Evita, poor Andrew Klavan at the Daily Wire took a sick day. I feel okay. I don't want you to worry about me. I never do a show if I don't. I don't want you feeling bad for me during the show. I feel fine. I just got a little congested from the inauguration. I think I'm standing in that cold weather, shaking a million hands. It's just like a recipe for the...
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
But listening to and having read a bunch of material on this because it fascinates me, my suspicion is that although the CIA... may not have been involved in the actual trigger pulling incident that the CIA may have known more than they're letting on. And they don't want to shock the conscience of the American public by releasing that all, because it's going to basically rewrite history.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And of course, there's another theory out there. I saw a couple of people on X saying, hey, it's a big nothing burger. They're going to release it, and you're going to find out nothing. Personally, I doubt that. My experience with the government is that they don't dedicate an extreme amount of resources to keeping secrets secret if they don't have something to hide.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
I told you, I remember when I was an agent, I got sent over to Afghanistan and they brought me in and I was doing the lead advance and they made me sign an NDA. It was like, we were in the skiff and it was all like deep six and stuff. oh, we're going to Afghanistan. Obama's going to land in a war zone. You know, make sure nobody knows.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
Don't tell your wife you're going to Hawaii or something like that for a mission. And I get out in the parking lot. A guy calls me on the phone. He goes, hey, I heard you're doing a lead for Afghanistan. What I'm getting at is the government has a really hard time keeping secrets. Why have they exerted so much effort to keep this secret? There is something there that involves the CIA, clearly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Are You Tired Of Winning Yet? (Ep. 2408)
And I think it's what they knew and what they let happen rather than what they did. Tell me if I'm wrong. I could be. I'm speculating, however, based on a good amount of research on the topic. We'll see what's up with that. Trump's executive orders yesterday and other actions, though, the winning continues, folks. It was just a... It's been, since Monday, such a deluge of information.

The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You know, we had this long debate yesterday on the show and it spilled into the radio show. And it's one of those great debates because it was never intended to happen. Now I got Guy doing the air squats too. Look at this. Folks, I do 10 air squats before every show gets the juices flowing. Now I got everybody doing it. If you do, I watched this Dr. Rhonda feed on Twitter, Dr. Rhonda Patrick.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
He has a broad kind of bird's eye view of how all these entities tie into each other. Why is that a bad thing? It's a bad thing for the Democrats. You understand how they thrive on the opaqueness of government? That's why they hate the Doge. They don't want a guy in there who knows how the gizmos fit together to make the machine work.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Because then when the gizmo breaks and they broke it, he's going to be the guy to fix it. They don't want that. They don't want any of that. They like it when everything's a dark box. Here is Cash on the Sean Ryan Show, a really excellent show, by the way, highly recommended, discussing a while ago Pfizer reforms and potential abuses of the system. Check this out.

Folks, I want you to understand something. Pregnant pause was not intentional. I just want to give you a second because this is really important. People are policy within the government. People are policy. Words, constitutions, laws, and regulations are meaningless if you don't swear to your oath and mean it. I mean, there are a thousand examples of what I'm talking about.

It's like a celebratory moment that just never ends. It's like every morning you wake up and it's like, but what are the, what's the thing? They have like boxing day. Right. And in the UK, is that like five days after Christmas or whatever? I don't know. I only celebrate Christmas, but it's like the boxing day every single day. It's like Christmas and it's by an unboxing day too.

The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I am a constitutionalist. That matters to me no matter what. Even at my own expense, it matters to me. You have to follow the law. If everybody just decides what law, when to follow, when, it's like the four-way stop sign. Come on, most people, you shouldn't, but they roll through those. Ah, the other guy will stop. That's not the way this is supposed to work.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You have a director or someone else in charge of the FBI that loosely interprets search and seizure and the Constitution and your right to privacy. Then, folks, the policy's meaningless. The person's interpreting it to mean something completely different. The Constitution is not a suggestion, period. And the man in charge of now the FBI is the director, and damn, that sounds good, Director Patel.

Thank you. God, I don't use his name in vain. Believes in that document. Believes, yeah, it'd be easy to weaponize it and target your political opponents. That's not what we do. That's not what we do. That's not what we'll ever do. That's not what this party stands for. The left wants to embrace old school socialist style weaponization of government. Then you own that because it ain't us.

But I absolutely insist that this, Stephen Miller has been putting on a clinic, the deputy chief of staff, chief of staff from Trump, an absolute clinic on TV in the press room.

They're really good. Hey, on that note, I'm going to get to this in a second. I promise you. So I was watching this movie last night. Like I said, Sicario with Paul. It was very good. About this drug trade and this whole thing going on. And there's a scene in the movie. I'm not ruining it for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's already old. But where the Punisher guy, I don't know actors' names.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
The guy who acts as the Punisher, John something. And he's choking this lady. He's trying to kill her. And he's mounted on top of her and choking her, what we call in jujitsu the finger choke. You know, you've seen it. You're on top of it. Ladies out there, guys, too. That is the easiest choke in the world to get out of.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And you have no idea how many people wind up either dying or getting assaulted or passing out because of it. Take a jujitsu class or a grappling class, even if you take two or three of them and ask them first day, can you show me how to get out of the finger choke? Because I had to do a tutorial for Paula last night. I had to because I'm like, you're never you're not going out like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Little weave under the arm, buckle them right down. You got to learn how to get out of that stuff. Ladies, gents, it's really important. I just, sorry, just throwing that in there. You know, I like to throw life hacks in. That's one of them. Take a Brazilian jujitsu class. Seriously, take the intro class. It's usually free. You'll learn in that first class.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Say, how do I get out of the finger choke? Okay, moving on. Stephen Miller going all-time schoolhouse rock on the media. Now, keep in mind, when I tell you this, I mean, the media in the press room knows how the presidency works. They're just playing dumb. They're pretending to not understand that Donald Trump is the unitary executive.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
He is the only figure, him and the vice president, on the ticket elected nationally, correct? For the lefties in the chat, is the attorney general elected nationally? Nope. What about the FBI? Nope. CIA? Nope. Nope. No. No one. Just Donald Trump and J.D. Vance on the ticket. But when you are elected by the Electoral College nationally, you appoint people to implement your policy.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Here's the media in the press room pretending they don't know this, talking about the Doge, and Stephen Miller, an absolute masterclass, kicking ass and taking names. Check this out. Here he is on how the executive works. This is great. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Wait till you see my studio. Guy did a little video of my first reaction. Evita's seen it too. I would do the karate man, but I got to save it. I'm telling you, this studio is sick. Is it crazy or what? Some of you guys, especially the McGroin crew, you guys are coming. We're going to have a big... Can you put it in? All right. He's going to put a picture to phone. All right.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You see why this segment's important? Folks, forget the people in the press room, okay? The liberal media people in the press room know what Stephen Miller's talking about. That's not why what he did there is important. I promise you, there are liberals and maybe even swampy Republicans and others out there who've never heard that before. You know how I know this?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Because when the media came out with their first talking point against Elon and the Doge, and they said, no one elected Elon Musk. If you follow the news like we do, I mean, it's my job. I don't know. I have a fake job. It's not a real job. You know, it's not. But I love politics. I will go to X and Truth and these TikToks and Snapchats, and I'll see what people are talking about. I follow.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I don't want to tell you who because I don't want to block me. But I follow liberal accounts. You can see them. They thought this was a great, great talking point because they're taking advantage of people on the left who are really ignorant of what Stephen Miller just said. You get what I'm saying? They were like, this is a good one. Tell them Elon's not elected.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Nobody's elected in the executive branch except the president and vice president. I mean, no one, like actually no one. The president runs the government just like the CEO runs a company. He appoints people and hires people to do stuff. The CEO isn't paying the taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
He may have to sign off on it, but you think he's sitting there going, what is the capitalized deduction rate on the depreciation schedule on the LIFO, FIFO? He ain't doing that, man. The president doesn't do everything. He appoints people. The president's the BHAG guy. The big, hairy, audacious goals guy. Liberals are praying. I'm sorry to say this, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Especially the liberals who listen to my show. I know you're there. You troll my chat, which is fine. I mean it. We're free speech people. Go right ahead. Just don't threaten anyone. They are taking advantage of liberal stupidity. Liberals actually, well, Elon wasn't elected, so he can't do anything, even if the Doge people are government employees. He can't?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
How does the Secret Service protect the president? I'm just giving you a personal example. You think the president's overseeing the security? Hey, we need a poststander here. I'm going to be button hooking around here. Remember when you were kids playing football? You draw on your fingers, right? Remember? You'd be like, Johnny, Michael, did you ever do this? Johnny, you're going to go here.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You're going to button hook. Tony, you're going to hit the fly route in the end zone. You think the president's doing that in his protection? Because nobody can do anything without the president. That's what they're saying. The Secret Service wasn't elected. Nobody's doing that. They're preying on your stupidity. That's why what Stephen Miller's doing is so important.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
This is like a government 101 class from the bully pulpit every single day where people like me get to go, hey, listen to this. Because there's, I promise, all the P1s out there, I'm sorry that I have to play for you stuff that's fairly obvious. But it's important you take that message and send it to your liberal friends. And when they say, hey, Elon's not elected, take that cut. It's not mine.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
It's the White House's. Take that cut. and say, Elon's not elected? Say, was Merrick Garland elected? What about Javier Baccaria? Here, let me send you the Stephen Miller clip about how our Constitution works. Thank you. All right, clip coming up next is important. Folks, red pilling's happening everywhere. And it was just Evita sitting here today too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And I said to Evita, Evita's rubbing off on me. She knows a lot for, I mean, like a ton of stuff. And she really, really understands the Breitbart rule that politics is downstream of culture. Like her show, that's why her show is taking off because she covers it better than anyone because she's fought these fights, whether it was the vaccine at her college. I mean, Evita is... 20 going on 80.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Let me get to the show because I get so much talk about cash is happening. It's going down. Reform is happening everywhere. It is just the golden age of Republican politics via MAGA.

So she's rubbing off on me because I see these stories on her show. And I'm like, damn, I got to cover more of this culture stuff. I'm so into the mechanics of politics, 10, 10, and 10. So J.D. Vance spoke, Vice President Vance at CPAC yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And this is really important, what he said about this war on our young men. It is a disgrace what's happening. And I want you to listen to it because it's an extremely important message. Did I not tell you about J.D. Vance? I'm sorry. It's not self-praise, folks. Just please trust me. I've known this guy. He is a freaking rock star.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
This guy is probably the best political candidate we've seen since a guy named Donald J. Trump. You ever heard of him? Amazing. You ever notice he's never caught off guard? Ask him anything. Ask him anything. Ask him about how he feels about five prime, three prime DNA strands. And he's like, you know what? Let me tell you, that's the one direction. Watch this coming up next.

The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Last break and we'll get right back to it. Hey, when it comes to protecting your family, it's not just about having a firearm. Lethal force isn't the answer for every situation. Imagine an imminent threat comes to you and your family.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Instinct may drive you to reach for a firearm immediately, but what if there were a way to defend yourself and deescalate a situation without the irreversible consequences of deadly force? Berna's non-lethal pistol launcher, equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo, can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. No need to go DEFCON 1.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
We just need protection to ensure we can defuse the situation and drive the threat away. I train with firearms most of my adult life. The Berna pistol they sent me, I really enjoy. It was really easy to learn to use and operate. The guys have one too. If you don't own a firearm, it's a great option to have. It's a great option to have even if you do. Made in America, legal in all 50 states.

The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Here is Vice President Vance at CPAC on a message on the war on boys. Folks, we cannot have this. The left has been doing this forever. They have been trying to destroy the idea of strong masculine men because it is a proxy for their war on traditional, objective, big R, God-given rights values. They don't like that. I'm getting along with it. Simple as this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
They want your values coming from the state. They don't want your values from dad. They don't want husband and wife mutual respect. They want everybody weak and compliant. And the best way to do it is to destroy our boys. And it's a freaking disgrace. Listen to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Leah Hunt says in the chat, this guy's top notch. Who is it? Isabella, I love masculine men. Hey, good, listen. Could Donald Trump have made a better choice? Could he have made a better choice than Vice President Vance? No, I'm serious. Can you throw someone out there you think would have been better now that you have a good data set?
The Dan Bongino Show

Then Lumen, L-U-M-E-N.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You've now got the entire campaign and election and over a month of him as Vice President. I'm not telling you things can't break bad in the future. I'm just telling you, given the data set you have now, could he have made a better choice? Come on, the answer is clearly no. The vice president is a fantastic messenger.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And Andrew Breitbart was absolutely correct when he said the politics are downstream of the culture. Folks, you can elect all the great politicians you want. If it's the freaking Tower of Babel and the culture is broken and we're disrespecting our young boys, we're making our young women, I have two daughters, feel insignificant that they're victims all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Oh, look, these toxic patriarchal men are going to ruin your life. Really? I got two powerhouses right here. Evita's married to Michael. Michael works here. These guys are running the whole show. These guys run this whole thing by themselves. She's now the 34 on this Triton top charts. It's a pairing. It's a pairing. It is an additive thing. You can't have weak men.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
They're trying to rot this culture out because they know then that the politics doesn't matter, that people are going to fill a hole, and they want that hole to be filled with government. It's why they hate religion. There's a killer op-ed.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
but I think it's Barton Swain in the wall street journal about exactly this from yesterday, how this this, this liberal wrote this book about how religion was basically destroying our culture and politics. And now this same liberal is admitting that he was wrong, but he's admitting he was wrong for all the wrong reasons. The gist of the whole thing to keep it simple is,
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
is that once you create that vacuum, you divorce people from God, bigger values, a higher cause. You divorce them from dad and the brother and the sister, and you tell them the family don't matter, and the patriarchy's always coming for you, and you're a victim, bro, and everybody's hurting you all the time, and you're looking over your shoulder all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You're never going to live your freaking life, man. You're going to constantly be doing karate man defensive moves instead of taking the world by the freaking balls constantly. and going and doing big things. I just said to Tyler, we were talking before the show, he's sitting in here, man. There it is. It's called It's All Evangelical's Fault, again, by Barton Swain. Read it.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
A liberal atheist blames liberalism woes on religious Trump supporters. Read the article. It's worth your time. I just said to Tyler, man, listen, young kids, whenever we were at book signings, Parents would come up to me and say, have you got some advice for my kid? I'd say, I do. Big people do big things. Little people do little things. Do big things.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
When you're constantly a victim and you believe this liberal bullshit that everybody's coming for you all the time and you can't beat it, you will be defeated before you even started the game. Play the damn game. Play the game. Get in the game and give it your best effort. The worst thing that can happen is you come out at the end and you drop an L once in a while. It happens.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And you dust off and you get back up and you play tomorrow's game even harder and you learn from your damn mistakes. I'm not your preacher, but big people do big things. Small people are victims. Small people are victims. Manifest good things, folks, and good things will happen. God gave you a brain that thinks positively for a reason. Use it. He gave you vision. Your dog doesn't have vision.

You know what, Guy? Can we play the national anthem here? I know the game didn't turn out like we expected, but that's fine. USA hockey team put on a great effort. Lost in overtime to the Canadians.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Good for you for getting in the damn game. We're proud of you. We'll always be proud of you. Defend it, America, and we love you. But showing you how the red-pilling and the culture's changing, and everybody's starting to understand that values don't come from government. Values come from something more important than that. Here is the national anthem.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
We'll play a little bit of this at last night's game. You may not hear the actual singer because everybody's singing with him. Check this out. Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing. You guys, can I give you a little piece of life advice for the new fathers out there? When you're at home in your house and you're watching this on TV, this amazing moment,

The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
stand up let your kids see take your hat off put your hand on your heart i know i know in the bongino army a lot of you do that already but when i'm in my house it's not some show it's not a virtue signal i let my daughter i tell my daughter every time stand up heels together I wish my elbow bent a little more. Unfortunately, it's a little below my heart. Put your hand on your heart, chin up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
None of this, whether it's when they do it, no. Let your kids see it. Let your boys see it. Let your little girls see it. You see that national anthem at a college game, a pro game, a hockey game, I don't care what it is, an equestrian match. You snap those heels together. You stand up straight. Get your gig line in order. Put your chin up. Hand over your heart.

Look at the studio.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And you don't move until that song is done. And let your kids see it. That's how we change the culture. We change the culture. The politics takes care of itself. I promise you, the politics takes care of itself. I promise you. And thank God we got a president proud of America again in the office. Did you hear his phone call yesterday? Guy loves this. Guy will choke me out, finger choke.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
He doesn't know I know the solution for it. He will finger choke me if I don't put this in the show. Here's Donald Trump talking to the hockey team before. The guy, I'm telling you, man, he is just on it all the time, everywhere. He loves this country. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Folks, you know, I worked in the White House, man. The president's time is valuable, really valuable. I'm not sure you even understand how, I mean, really valuable. People would, if they could, pay millions of dollars for sit-downs with a president. They would.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
The president never misses a moment to tell people representing the United States, athletes, whatever, academics, anyone, how much he cares about them when he's up there and talking to them. He loves this country, and it's so evident if you just listen to the guy. And he is having this downstream effect that Andrew Breitbart had talked about over politics, where it's okay to love America again.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Not only is it okay to love America again, you can do it proudly and openly, and you don't have to worry. I mean, I heard that story after the election. Who was it? Was it Dana Perino or someone saying on Fox? They were walking around Manhattan. I saw people walking around MAGA hats for the first time. People were afraid. Nobody's afraid anymore. The red pilling is everywhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
He's like, everywhere? He's like, what about Buttigieg? Buttigieg? Him too? Guy's like, to the left of Lenin. He says he's got evidence that even Buttigieg... I'm not kidding. Here's Buttigieg a while back talking about equity and buses or something like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I'm going to play that with this clip you're just going to hear from the other day where even Buttigieg is starting to realize that the Schatz Doctrine, you'll see what I mean in a second, may be the way to go. In other words, do really liberal stuff, but you better not talk about it like that anymore because the culture's changing. Check this segment out first.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I love that image of the doors opening on the bus or the subway car representing doors opening in so many other areas of life. If you can get to where you need to be in an equitable way.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
So in an equitable way, we got equitable buses. You got to make sure the buses fit into your whatever LGBTQIA, BIO, PC, two plus one, a ideological identity politics. And you're like, what are you talking about? It's a freaking box with four tires, bro. What are you talking about? That is pre.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Who is that, Michael? Get him off the screen. Michael's way too handsome. Makes us all look ugly. Get him off the screen. Put someone else in there. Put me or Guy in there. He came up with Michael. Look at this guy. This guy, like, look like, you know, they're looking for a new James Bond. Everybody in the chat. Should we do Michael? Should Michael be in the running for James Bond?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
pre-2024 election donald trump so donald trump gets elected the culture is now rapidly changing detoxifying itself of toxic masculinity and all this pc crap woke bullshit right and i want you to listen to pete boot edge edge how he's talking now and let me just tell you in advance He's not really red-pilled. This is the Schatz Doctrine. Hold that thought. Or as KJP calls him, the Shorts Doctrine.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Okay? They're starting to realize right now that the culture war is turning and turning rapidly. So listen to the way this really, really liberal guy, because he's going to run for president 100% in the next election. Yo, so do I. I hope so, too. Him and Kamala Harris would be an amazing ticket. Amazing. Winky, winky, nut, nut. Listen to how he talks now. Check this out.

The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Okay, this is the edutainment portion of the show at the BDP. Education plus entertainment, that's what matters, right? There is this thing going around the Democrat Party. Write this down because you're going to see it everywhere. They're calling it the Schatz Doctrine after Brian Schatz, the senator who KJP called shorts. So we'll call it the shorts doctrine, right? The shorts doctrine is this.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Do really crazy liberal stuff transgender sex changes in the military, all this other like really woke far left crazy stuff, right? Do it, but don't talk about it like Portlandia, which is that TV show about like liberal crazies. I never watched it, but I assume because I've had to look it up. That's the Schatz Doctrine. So I say this because I know what you're thinking.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Why are we talking about elections? Because folks, the midterms are right around the corner. No, they're not. Yeah, they are. They're less than two years away, which in political, you know, reverse dog years, everything is like a factor of seven, not times seven, right? It's right around the corner.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You are going to see this in swing district, everywhere outside of like, say, Jasmine Crockett's district, right? you know, a D plus 20 district, you're going to see Democrats talking like this now, talking like moderate Democrats, even talking like Republicans in many cases. Listen to me, brothers and sisters, it's an act. Look it up, the Schatz Doctrine.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
This Brian Schatz is telling everyone this. Just talk like a normal person, but still do crazy stuff. So for those of you out there still on the fence who may have just tuned into my show, it's an act. The Republican agenda and what we're doing is not an act. We're doing it. The Democrats you're hearing from, this is all, it's all an act. Don't fall for this. Here, I'm going to jump ahead.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And he's, like, seven feet tall, too. And you got me. This is why the audio does almost as well as the video. People are like, I can't see Bongino anymore. I can't see it. I'm serious, man. You can't put him in the picture. See, that studio is crazy, though, isn't it? Wait till you guys see what it's going to look like. Hopefully, Guy, what are we, like a week or two away, max?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Here's Jasmine Crockett. This is what I mean. First off, put that interactive polls thing up. I put this up yesterday. Democrats in Congress are now at an all-time low in approval in Quinnipiac, which is not some right-wing polling outfit, okay? They're at 22% approval, nearly 70% disapproval. Now, why is that happening? Because they do crazy stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
They're going to try to talk their way out of this now. But their problem is they're still going to have people like Jasmine Crockett, Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren to deal with who are out there still saying crazy stuff because her and AOC are doing what I call the show your ass theory. There is still money in crazy stuff and saying crazy stuff. So you're going to see more.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
By the way, you're going to see AOC and the squad start to object at all the airtime she's been getting. But Jasmine Crockett needs to keep it up. There's the poll right there. Here's Jasmine Crockett on her take on government money, your tax dollars, and quote, handouts. Maybe one of the most offensive things you've heard in a long time. Keep this lady on TV, though. She's great. For us, that is.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Yes. Thank you. Play it again. Play it again. Sorry. Everything's always bad.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
We're not in the business of... Hold on. Just keep that on hold for a second. There's one other thing I want to address about this. And I'm really, I'm seriously begging the Democrats in order to hold on to your very valuable to us Republicans 22% approval rating, which is great for us, terrible for you. You may say, well, what are the Republicans?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Well, they're 40%, which isn't great, but it's a whole lot better than 22 Republicans in Congress. And Donald Trump's is far ahead of both of those, right? Please keep this woman on TV. I'm begging you. I'm imploring you. Please. She is the best messenger for the Schatz Doctrine, absently saying crazy stuff because she wants to do crazy stuff, but she says it too.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
We have to be because if we don't get out of this studio soon, you don't even want to know what's going to happen. And this thing is totally falling apart. So Cash is back. Even CNN had a report on it. So Claire Foran and Morgan Rimmer from CNN had to write this piece. Imagine how much this hurt. Senate confirms Kash Patel is FBI's new director. This is the Kylo Ren Moore theory of politics.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
She cites experts during COVID as an example of like a model we should replicate. Do you realize the experts got everything wrong? Did you see that Yale, was it the Yale paper going around about spike protein elevations in people with quote long COVID? I encourage you to read it. It's pretty freaking scary stuff if the robust results say turn out to be robust and repeatable.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
It's really frightening. Did some of you see it? You should look up the Yale researcher report on the spike burden. It's all over the news. I'm applying the Bongino rule to everything because unlike Jasmine Crockett, I actually believe in science. And the experts she keeps citing were wrong, folks, about almost everything. Masks didn't work. Vaccines didn't stop the spread of COVID.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Didn't even stop you from getting COVID. No, it did not come out of a pangolin who mated with a butterfly who got bit by a mosquito. None of that happened. Everything they told you was wrong. Droplets, aerosols, everything they got wrong, and they publicly bragged about it. And then she goes on to say, we're not in the business of giving you money. Like, it's their money?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
This is a woman with no life skills whatsoever. Amazingly gets elected to Congress and is lecturing you hardworking Americans, black, white, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, Christian. It doesn't matter. They love identity politics. Lecturing you about we're not in the business of giving you your money back when we find overpayments and fraud. Democrats, please keep this woman on TV. I'm serious.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I'm not kidding. There is no better advocate for what you're going to do than this one. I know you're going to try to hide it. Schatz doctrine us. I get it. But now we're exposing the Schatz doctrine on the biggest live stream in conservative politics. It's all an act. Everything she just said, Jasmine Crockett, is everything the Democrats think. Bank on it. All right, folks, thank you so much.

The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Moore. Moore. Moore. Just keep it coming. Every day. Folks, I want to, on a very serious note, thank you because... The Republican Party did what they had to do. We're spreadsheets people, correct? We do not get emotional. When the Republican Party does bad things, we talk about the bad things and try to correct them to get them to be plus ones rather than minus ones.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
But when it's a plus one, you can't keep... What do they have settled stupidly? You know, you can't beat a dead horse. Well, you can, but the horse is dead. It doesn't make any sense, you know, to constantly just when they do something good. Good. Thank you for getting Kash Patel through. And we didn't even need a tiebreaker, a tiebreaking vote from from Senator, excuse me, Vice President J.D.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Vance. We didn't even need it. So you guys did that. I will make no mistake. You guys and ladies out there in the Bongino Army, in Bannon's Army, Charlie Kirk's little army out there, we're all, not little, I didn't mean it that way, but we all kind of cross-pollinate each other's shows. You guys did it out there. You guys got it done. And thank you very much. Folks, always, always do what?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Oh, she's sending me a picture of me in the studio. She says, you're so cute, and it's date night too. Paula, you're very distracting right now. Tyler's like, what the hell did I get myself into sitting in on this show? Guy invited him to come up. I said, big mistake, big mistake. When you were here, right, Guy, what are the rules? You should put a sign on the door.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You're part of the show no matter what. Always, every time. Always measure the effectiveness of what you did by the response, especially of your crazy opponents like Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who absolutely melted down, like melted down like you would put like one of those metals.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
And it just like, you know, when it goes into like molten form, like Terminator 2, dude is losing it over cash because they know we're finally going to get a good, solid, strong FBI again. And that's not what they want. That's not what they want. They want a weaponized political outfit, which is unacceptable.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You will rue the day. Rue the day. Evil will happen. I love how they say that as if bad things have not happened in the building behind them for the last about eight years that need to be cleaned up. Folks, listen, I've known Kash Patel a long time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Just bang those suckers out. So the best shows sometimes are the most unintended. And I did not yesterday intend at all to speak about this Karl Rove piece, if we should slow the winning down or speed the winning up and take some victory laps. But it turned into this four-hour debate. It was great.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I can tell you with absolute certainty, and there are a few things in life you can speak about with absolute certainty, even if you ask a bunch of kids if they want homework. You can't say with certainty one kid's not going to go, I'll take some homework. I need to improve my math skills. Everybody's like, shut up and prove them at home on your own. Take a Khan Academy class, whatever.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I can tell you with certainty that Kash Patel is there for one reason. He is there to make the FBI great again. Folks, if we do not have a credible deterrent to spies in this country, counterintelligence to terrorists that are planning plots here openly, some coordination entity for both transnational and interstate crime, we're not going to have a country.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Cash is committed to that and that only. If Sheldon Whitehouse or these other lunatics think he's going to, whatever, pay back the favor or some stupid line like that and target them, they're out of their minds. They're making that up to turn you. Please don't. He is there for one reason, to clean this place up.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
He is a deadly serious guy, and he's got a mission in mind, and he's got BHAGs in his head. Big, hairy, audacious goals. Here's Senator Chris Murphy, another one. Just always gauge the effectiveness of this. Here, can I give you kind of a counterexample before we play Chris Murphy? And by the way, I'm not suggesting at all that these people aren't good. But have you seen a similar reaction before?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
to the energy secretary. He's great, he's fantastic. But I think they understand the Democrats that something's gotta be done about energy, so they're just leaving it alone. They are terrified over, they've spent so much time on Kash Patel, it makes you ask the question, right? Or begs the question, I hate that term. What the hell are they worried about? Why are they so concerned? Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
No, we won't. Why are they so dramatic, too? You see the drama? You will regret this to your grave. He thinks like he's in a movie or something. Last night, I was bored, by the way. I watched a movie. Do you guys ever see that movie, Sicario? I know. It's been out forever. Right? I never saw this movie before.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Last night, Paula absolutely loves, is obsessed with mob movies and drug cartel movies and crime movies and stuff like that. Do you guys in the chat ever see that movie? Pretty good movie, man. I didn't sense a lot of like wokeness in it. I don't know. It's been out forever. But is there a sequel to that? But I watched it last night. But this guy thinks he's in a movie.

But now you're seeing why the Rock'em Sock'em robots flood the zone, keep the winning going at a rapid pace is working. Folks, just a few months ago, we were told that, you know, if Trump wins, you know, he's going to have a really hard time in the Senate. There's going to be all of this Republican resistance to all his nominees. And yet what happened? Folks, Matt Gaetz left himself. He departed.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
He thinks he's in like Sicario. They're like, cut. You know, what's the board they called? Anybody know? I'm not a video guy. What's the clapboard or somebody? They think they're in a movie. You will regret. No, they won't regret it. They won't regret it. They're on the record supporting him because they know he's the change agent the FBI needs.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Folks, how amazing would it be in four years to look back with a good, high-quality, reformed FBI free of woke culture and DEI that goes out and is making headline big arrests of real bad guys destroying your community? How great would that be? We can all sit there and be proud again. No one regrets anything, and no one's going to regret anything. You know who's been on fire lately?
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
You know we love Maze Moore, by the way, on X. If you don't follow him, follow him. We got to share the wealth, folks, in the conservative MAGA ecosystem. It's really important. It's not about me. It's about all of us. I need you all to go to X today, formerly Twitter. Follow Maze Moore, M-A-Z-E-M-O-O-R-E. I mentioned him before. I don't even know if it's a him or a her. I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Maze, you got to send me a DM. I keep saying him or her. I don't know. But really great account for video. Maze put this up yesterday. You know who is absolutely on fire with these nominees? I mean, this guy's success record is 100%. He's really, I've never seen a guy kick ass and take names like this. The success record is 100% of failing. He has succeeded 100% of the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
That's freaking hard, man. That's hard. Even a really terrible major league hitter, you know, like the guy, the pitcher, the pitchers are never really good hitters because they don't practice that much. They'll be batting like 150. That means, you know, 150 times out of a thousand, they at least got a hit. This cat, Adam Schiff, is killing it. He has succeeded in failing every single time.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Here is Adam Schiff on all of the, quote, controversial Trump nominees. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Dude's on fire. You know, I dig that Bailey Zimmerman music. I had a lot of pop culture references today for the show. I think it's because I'm in a particularly good mood today. If you only knew. You know that House on Fire song? It's one of his old songs. This guy's on fire, just like the Bailey song. House on fire. He is on fire, Schiff. 100% success rate of failing.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Why is Adam Schiff so worried? Folks, I strongly encourage you to go back and take another look today at the Russia collusion hoax. I know it's a story that's old and a lot of people want to move on. I'm going to be straight with you. I don't want to move on.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
We had the FBI in conjunction with the Department of Justice, officials in Congress, foreign governments and intel people fabricate a story, invent a story that could have caused and done serious long term harm to international relations with a nuclear powered foe. It's kind of a big freaking deal. I'm not letting it go. And you listen to me. This is going to be very important in the coming days.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
I'm not letting this go. I want to find out what happened because it can never happen again. Not to a Democrat, not to a Republican, not to a libertarian, not to any United States citizen. You do not get to alter or try to change the course of electoral politics by fabricating a story, hijacking the justice system then to give the patina of truth to a fake story. You don't get to do that.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
That was it. Everything else has been, I mean, relatively smooth sailing. Hat tip to the Republican Senate for getting it done. I mean, you're always going to get your Murkowski and Collins holdouts. It's to be expected. We've seen what they do, but we got cash through. So now you are going to see what real change is like. It's happening everywhere. It's happening so fast.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
Why do I bring that up now? Because who is the ringmaster of that circus? Yes, Adam Schiff. And no, I'm not letting it go. And you shouldn't either. Folks, the system Adam Schiff and others used to weaponize and hijack the DOJ, portions of the FBI, and the global intelligence community to combat Donald Trump and his agenda, and the American people who voted for him in 2016.
The Dan Bongino Show
The Golden Age Of Republican Politics (Ep. 2428)
was this FISA system, this Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act system, which needed some reform and still does. This is one of the reasons the Democrats are really freaked out. No one understands the system better than Cash. He's been in the government. He's been on the prosecutorial side. He has seen how our defense system works, our intelligence system, law enforcement system.

He was a real leader, you could tell, but really a man of genuinely few words. He sent me an email years later. And his name's Jason. He's fine with me saying his first name. And I read the email on my Fox show, Andy, and people had sent me feedback for days saying they were crying when I read the email.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And he said kind of what you said, that he loves his daughter so much more because when you see things like what he called the pink mist, when a guy just blows up in front of you, steps on a device or an IED hits him or whatever, and he just blows up, he's like that pink mist, like never gets out of your head.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And like you said, there's no question there's damage there, but people are all damaged and some use it for negative things. And he made the point that his relationship with his daughter was so much stronger precisely because he understood the horror that thankfully most people don't have to see, but you guys do.

But one of the things, at least, and again, I don't pretend to know half the things you know about tactics or anything like that. But when you're in the Secret Service, you have to function as this cohesive unit too. We have a shift that has a specific defined number of members. Every member has a role. If you're the number one, you do this and you do only this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Because if you do that, the other guy's doing that and you're in his line of fire. Your field of vision is here. That's what you cover. You don't cover this, guys. You don't go out on an adventure because you wind up shooting a good guy. So we are the importance of training.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
But one of the things I think that the public doesn't understand is you guys have to train so much because there's always a fog of war. Even the baddest-ass guys in the world, Green Berets, SEAL Team 6, Delta, if you're there, that first contact, there's always that it takes a few seconds to kind of get your, you know, to not kind of redline. I don't know the best way to say it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
But I think the difference between you guys with all the training and everyone else is everyone has the fog of war. Just the amount of time before you guys get back into action due to all that training is so much shorter than anyone else. But it never goes away, right? Like, there's always that first contact.

Yeah, did you guys, I assume you guys use Sims, but when we used to use the Sims, did you ever use them in the winter when they feel like actual bullets in the fucking winter? And then everybody shoots your hand because that's what they see, the gun. So they shoot you in the fucking hands and your fingers are like green and purple. Those sons of bitches hurt.

Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Really? Dude, the freaking fingers. You know, everybody sees the gun. So that's what they shoot at. And they magically, it's like the most amazing act of marksmanship ever. How did you hit my hand six times out of seven rounds? It's crazy. Your fingers the next day, you'd be like, you can't even do push-ups in the academy because your fingers don't even bend. It's horrible.

But when I was teaching over there, Andy, we had... Matt Eversman, he was the sergeant in the Black Hawk Down operation. And he was doing kind of an autopsy of what happened with a lot of our trainees to give you a kind of lessons learned. He'd come back every other year or so. And it was really a fascinating, fascinating lecture. And he was talking about the Delta guys. You know, he was a ranger.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And he was talking about the Delta guys and just how impressive they were and just how they had almost no emotion about combat at all. And, you know, SEAL Team 6 and Delta is always like, who's better? They're both badasses. Better word means nothing to me with that. Because I couldn't do either, so it makes no difference.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
But one of the things he emphasized in that kind of autopsy in front of our students was the difference between our military and everyone else. outside of the bravery and the courage and the things we do, is just pure marksmanship. He said these Somalis would come out, empty an entire AK mag, and not hit one freaking person.

The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
He said you'd see these Delta guys behind cover, you know, on a three-round burst or whatever, bang, bang, bang, bang, not wasting a single round, knocking off nine, ten guys at a time. Like these guys, the marksmanship component is, at least according to him, was one of the prime differentiators between us and everyone else.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
So what I'm getting from you is a line I've heard often from friends of mine and former colleagues who were military special operations. Obviously, in my prior line of work, we sucked a lot of special operations people out just because of their massive body of experience. I used to hear this all the time. They say, fast isn't fast, brother. Smooth is fast.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
So we're looking for an amazing guest to discuss the military. Producer Michael said, you got to check this guy out. Andy Stump, member of SEAL Team 6, the host of Cleared Hot. Andy, welcome to the show. What an honor to have you on board. And most importantly, thank you for your service to this country. You're a patriot. We appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Matter of fact, fast is almost slow because you're going to have to do it multiple times to get to the end game. That smooth is fast. I'm going to take my last break. Andy, on the other side of the break, I want to ask you about leadership. I've had quite a few special operators on, and the whole idea in society about leadership that's just collapsed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
I just don't think we have a lot of leaders out there anymore, and there's such a thirst for it. Maybe there's a political component to that. Maybe there's not. I don't know, but we're really thirsty for leaders. It's time to be awake, not woke. I got me some blackout coffee today because this is the coffee. Can I make up a new motto for blackout coffee? The coffee that kicks ass and takes names.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
John, put that Bongino's coffee. Kicking ass and taking names. They're like, are you guys going to read this? But no, I'm not going to read the spot. I don't need to read the spot because I love blackout coffee. Now, I do got a badass Navy SEAL on, but don't turn your man card in when you drink the cinnamon French toast coffee from blackout. I don't give a shit. It's freaking good.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
So is the blueberry crumble and the dark chocolate. The espresso is amazing. All their coffee is good. Why? Because they use premium beans. Listen, the owner loves America. He's a great guy, but he loves good coffee too. And loving America, you better love a good product. So pick it up. If you're part of the Bongino Army, Blackout Coffee's the only coffee for you.

Back to Andy Sump, the host of Cleared Hot, the podcast, member of SEAL Team 6. American Patriot. Andy, your thoughts on leadership. Now, the reason I always ask guys in the military about this is because unlike most professions, maybe outside of policing, maybe the only kind of similar, not the same, but similar one, when you guys screw up the leadership component,
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
People die, like literally die, not figuratively die. And they're people close to you. They're not people you don't know. They don't die at a distance. You got a guy next to you because you screwed up a breaching decision or whatever it may be, or you go down some fatal funnel. That's the end. So I've asked a ton of people this about leadership.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And I mean, the best thing I can say to people is, the biggest component I think, and your thoughts on this are, you have to know when the... you know, kind of be like a shoulder for, for a guy. I mean like getting all wussy and, you know, but sometimes dudes are really like broken down, but you also got to know when not to be a shoulder and be like, Hey man, shut the fuck up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Brother, you are a humble man, but you already have. I did some homework on you. I was beyond impressed. Michael has got a really good judge of talent here. So first, you served in the military. I didn't. We were kind of chatting pre-show here. And I don't do a ton of interviews on the podcast. You're the first one in a while. I do some on the radio show. But what I don't know, I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Like you're whining about bullshit. We got a mission to accomplish. And I think that's where poor leaders, they don't understand the fine line between the two. They're too much of a shoulder to cry on when they shouldn't be. Or once in a blue moon, you know, they don't know when to tell someone to shut the fuck up, you know?
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, I have a special show for you today on this Friday before Christmas. You know in my hierarchy of people I adore and respect, our military men and women are at the top. Honestly, it's not even a close second. It's not even worth a second or third place because in my heart, I...
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Yeah. Andy, one of the things about leadership I found is amazing leaders. And you just said you see them. They have the Genesee quality. You know it, but you can't describe it. I mean, if we could, we wouldn't be doing this segment. I'm asking you what it is. You and I said two similar things, but in completely different words. But one of the things is you know it when you see it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And I don't know, you may disagree on this one, but I found that I spent two years as an instructor in our academy, and I guess we flushed about 200, 250 agents through. And I noticed good leaders can't make a bad guy a good guy. They just can't. I mean, we've tried and we've tried, but they can make a good guy a great guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Like if you get a guy in there with a good, decent set of principles who maybe isn't familiar with any military or paramilitary organization, they find a good leader. You can make that guy a superb agent. But we had a couple of guys, they would, you know, they were just, you know, I don't know if you guys call them like what blue Falcons and shit birds.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
That's what we, you know, we used to call them. Yeah. They were just shitheads and they were just like, we would have to hide them. Like they meet the minimum requirements, met the minimum requirements for training. But when they got out, you'd have to stick them in a unit where they just can't hurt anyone because you just can't make a bad guy, a good guy, but you can make a good guy, a great guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
I think that's kind of one of the elements of being not just smart, but intelligent, knowing the perimeter of your own knowledge. I wasn't in the military. One of the problems, though, I could imagine being in the military, especially an elite unit like SEAL Team 6, is you need absolute unit cohesion.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Andy, having gone through SEAL training, there is a local young man, my daughter's friends with his sister. He's a SEAL team member, not six. Obviously, leave his name out of it. He just got on a little bit ago. But I always ask him for advice about firearms and things like that. He's just a really wonderful young man, really talented, super smart, loyal.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
So I asked him about buds and seal training. And he said, Dan, I, everybody there's in shape. Obviously no one goes to seal training, not in shape. He's like the physical stuff sucks, but it's totally bearable. If you're in good shape, like these guys are, he said, it's a mind fuck. He said, you know what the worst part about SEAL training was? I'm waiting for him to say the rocks, the push-ups.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
He's like, the fucking sand. He's like, you have sand everywhere, all the time. Your skin isn't even red. It's non-existent. He's like, you have it in your balls, in your crack, in your toes, behind your ears. He's like, I couldn't take it anymore. He said, it'll drive you crazy. I couldn't believe that is what he remembered because that's one thing that drives guys bananas.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
You can't have people going off half-cocked, independent, doing their own thing, or the entire thing, whether it's breaching a door, everything breaks apart, everybody has a role. So when you get this wokeness component, forget the politics of it for a second, just look at it from a pure tactical perspective.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Andy, one other thing. I want to get to drones next and the drone threat, whether in combat, domestically, protection, all of that. However, one other thing he did mention, and I only laugh about this because I have a running kind of segment on my radio show. It's a joke. I got a cold plunge about a year ago, and it's like torture. I mean, sitting in this thing for four minutes at 45 degrees –
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And I just think back to when I first started, he mentioned the sand thing, but he said, Dan, you have no idea what it's like to sit in like 50 degree water for like a half an hour at a clip. He's like, you don't even, he's like the pain. There's no going numb. Like it never feel, Oh look, I'm numb. That like, that's not a thing. Like you're just freaking freezing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And he's like, that is one of the other big mind fucks in training is that you're freezing cold all the time. And in your brain, you know, you're not going to be warm. anytime soon. Like there's no like, oh good, we get to go over to the heaters and roast marshmallows. Like that's not happening.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
We're emphasizing division, skin color, race, things that have nothing to do with Andy Stump, SEAL Team 6's ability to breach a door and take out a bad guy. This is really dangerous. It has the potential to break up our military.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
you're right. It's like a, you know, it's like a run. They used to have these things like the, the Indian run. Like if you're running at someone else's pace, it's always harder. You know what I'm saying? Even if it's a pace you could totally handle because in your brain, you're like, is he going to speed up? Is he going to slow down? I totally get that. Let me ask you about drones. Uh,
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Now, in the protection space I was in, I wrote a book a long time ago about this. And one of the chapters was about the drone threat. And the reason the drone threat right now is, I think, unique, and I hate that word, is for two reasons. Number one, it's low tech. I mean, we have a JSF and an F-22 that other countries don't have.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
But if it can be taken down by a swarm of $100 Amazon drones, it's kind of freaking worthless. That's number one. It doesn't require a lot of money and almost no skill. I mean, a trained F-22 pilot takes forever. But second, Andy, it's obvious, you know, from a tactical perspective, humans can't fly.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
So if they tell SEAL Team 6, hey, there's a guy in the ghillie suit, there's a way to mitigate that. You can hit that target, flank it. You can take out it with a countersniper. But you can actually walk over there if you needed to and inspect the target, not that you'd walk in front of a gun. You can't do that with a drone. So if you're on the White House lawn, there's a drone threat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
You can't just go, oh, hold on, let me go check it out. We can't fly. This freaks me out, this drone threat, not only for combat operations with guys like yourself overseas who've done it, but also for domestic, too. I mean, Times Square, you get a swarm of drones dropping grenades on New Year's Eve. You got hundreds of casualties.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Yeah, you know, I say a lot of my show, government is a really tough time keeping secrets, and they do. But I will say this. When I was on the job for about 10 years or so, I was briefed into a program, and I was pretty stunned myself. They put us on a helo and on a kind of an op around D.C., and pointed out some stuff. And I was like, wow, I didn't know that's what that was.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Like, it was really kind of shocking to me too. So you're right. I mean, we don't know everything and we don't know what that is. And you're also right about the green men. Like if they have the technology to get here and they wanted to kill us, they probably would have done it already. So yeah, sit down, have a Heineken, enjoy yourself. Andy, last question for you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
I want to make sure I get a plugin for your podcast at the end to clear it hot. You know, having gone through buds, which is, you know, inarguably one of the toughest things any human being on planet earth can do physically, the cold, the sand, the grind, the lack of sleep, the hunger, just all the horrors of being human in your hierarchy of needs in one training session.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
You know, I just want to get across to the audience and kind of a motivational closing here that you're capable of so much more than you think. I mean, I have not done anything close to Bud's, but you know, you are, you, you, you think you have this ceiling. Like I can only do 10 reps. I promise you, you can do 12. You just haven't experienced that pain yet. And you'll get used to it eventually.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And you'll recondition your nervous system. Like your ceiling, I promise you. Isn't your ceiling. You can do better. And it's something like buds where a guy like you is the perfect guy to talk about that. Cause you've done what 99.99 repeating decimal of society just can't get through the, but your ceiling is higher than you think.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Yeah, it is. I've told people that over and over again. Again, not even close to comparable, but they say, gosh, why did you, like, you left the Secret Service to go run for office? Like, that's crazy. I'm like, I like doing crazy things. I just like taking chances because, you know, I don't believe in luck. I believe in taking a thousand chances.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And if two of those chances work out and you only took two, you're zero for zero. If I took a thousand and two of them work out, it was just a law of probability, brother. Like eventually something was going to hit, you know? It's simple probability. Andy, what an amazing interview. We don't do this often, but I may have to now that you set the bar so high. We got a new studio opening up soon.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
They just mean so much to me. I lost my uncle before I was born. He was shot in the back in Vietnam. He was given the Bronze Star with a V device. And his story about how he was shot saving his friends has just destroyed my family. I mean, he was scheduled to come home and never made it.

Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Andy, one of the things, too, that differentiates special operators, and you just emphasized it, is this is not your first rodeo. And, I mean, that's underplaying the situation. You've already been through boot camp, which for all the branches isn't easy. I don't care what you're in. You can be a cook in the Navy at the White House mess. You've still been through boot camp. It's a pain in the ass.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
It's not easy. It's not like, you know, your high school gym class. You get a guy, say, in Delta, another special operations team, who's been a Ranger. He's been through boot camp. He's been through Ranger school. You know, you get guys who've had specific MOS schools before they're in SEAL Team 6. They may have been through, I don't know, some EOD training or something like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
These are all really complicated schools. You've got Green Berets who've been through two or three schools beforehand. I mean, this is the kind of thing where... You've now broken down all these barriers and you've got, as you called it, the tip of the spear. Guys operating as one, almost operating as a symbiote. They can read each other. They can see each other.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
They just got to tap you on the shoulder. And one guy knows to go left and right, breaching that door. He goes the wrong way, he's dead. People are freaking dead. It's not like you go the wrong way. Oh, sorry, do over. It's not Wayne's World, you know, where they're playing a hockey game and they go, oh, come on, start over. That's not the way this shit works. People die.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And that's my problem with this wokeness crap. Obviously the politics of it, I hate, but the division component, like so much effort's gone into teaching you guys cohesion. It's just such a shame to see it all attacked with this silly nonsense stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
On the day he was scheduled to come back, two soldiers showed up instead to notify my grandmother that he had died. And the greatest regret of my life is not going in the military. It really is. So I've got an amazing guest for you today, Andy Stumpf. If you haven't heard of him, he has a show. It's called Cleared Hot. He's a member of SEAL Team 6, an American patriot and a hero.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Yeah. Andy hosts the Cleared Hot podcast. Be sure to check it out. You'll love it. Andy, on the nomination of Pete Hegseth for the critical position of defense secretary, one of the top two or three most important positions in the world. Forget about our government. I mean, we are the most powerful military in the known universe. That's not even in dispute.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
One of the things I found so objectionable about the attacks on Pete, again, I was not in the military. I spent a career in law enforcement, you know, NYPD and on the federal side. It's a hard job. It's nothing like the military. It's not even in the ballpark. But I just remember going over to Afghanistan and doing the site advance for Obama at Bagram.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And, you know, watching these guys living in these hoochies, which is like sand on every... And the guys were like, you can't get this sand out of anything. And it's like... You know, these guys, they're going out and doing their runs and they got sand in their lungs. They're spitting out like brown mucus all the time. I was out of there after two weeks, Andy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
These guys are living there on 10-month year deployments. And, you know, they come back and they're attacking Pete, you know, suggesting sometimes he has an alcohol problem. No one I know has ever seen that. It's a fabricated issue completely. But Pete Hegsett's a guy who enjoys spending some time with people who understand what it's like to be in combat. I don't understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Andy, I have no idea what it's like to breach a door in Afghanistan with some mutt behind you pointing an AK-47. I have no freaking idea. I got to imagine when you come back, you know, maybe headed to a bar responsibly with a few of your boys talking about that experience is really the only thing you have. I mean, what are you going to do? Talk to some shrink about what the hell do they know?
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
They haven't been there. And for them to attack him about this, that really pisses me off because guys like you who need that outlet now are probably going to be like, oh my gosh, is someone going to put me on Twitter at a bar? Like, am I going to be able to get a job later? That's kind of bullshit.

One of the things I really kind of object to with the wussification of America and this toxic masculinity bullshit out there is that there's no realpolitik in it. This isn't the real world. It's a utopia that doesn't exist. Our military and guys like you exist to go kill bad guys. That is not cute. It's not a movie. It's not pretty. Nobody dies in a movie like, ah!
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
That's not the way this shit goes down. It's ugly. It's gross. There's guts. There's blood. And I just want to get your take on this. So I have two friends who were... in combat zones. They were both very, very quiet about it. But one guy opened up to me one time and he was a tow missile operator in Gulf War I Marine. And he said, you know, the Iraqis tanks were too slow for us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
So they would sometimes jump in like pickup trucks to try to get away. So he mentioned the story about hitting a pickup truck with a tow missile, which you know didn't end well. And he said, you know, all I could think about afterwards, you know, for these people to think like, oh yeah, you go off and kill and you don't come back with scars. Like that's bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
He said, all I could think about from that point on was, you know, that guy had kids and his kids are never going to know what happened to him. He's just going to burn in the desert. And it was weird because this was obviously over a decade later and he's sitting there with me in the training center and I could see he was like, He was a tough son of a bitch, Andy, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
This guy, he wasn't a recon Marine, but he was attached to a recon unit at one point. He was a badass guy. And just to watch him kind of, you know, in front of me open up, you know, this is what our military is, man. We've got to take care of these guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And this wussification of America, we're not doing our military any favors by playing this shit down with a lot of like, you know, cutesy DEI videos and bullshit like that. These guys are going to bring home a lot of scars mentally, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
And also sponsoring today's show is... There we go. These guys are like, they're like hunting and pecking with the fingers. You got to be sharper with the finger there. You guys heard about this new superfood? It's almost too good to be true. I use it every day. It's got thousands upon thousands of five-star reviews, life-changing testimonials. Just read them. Don't take my word for it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Saving The U.S. Military w/ SEAL Andy Stumpf (Ep. 2392)
Yeah, it's interesting you say that because I mentioned I had more than two friends that have served, but the two that I was the closest with, the second guy had a similar perspective as you. He sent me an email. I was his instructor. He was a Marine as well and served overseas and never said a word in the training academy, one of the quietest guys I've ever seen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
So she was there, but here's a positive sign. Here's a very positive sign for the Secret Service. She clearly knows the investigations thing is a problem for the Secret Service. How do I know? Because here's what she just said about two hours ago. Play that cut, guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Listen, I don't know Kristi Noem particularly well, but I know her enough. I hope she means that. And I think she does. There's no reason she would say it under oath at a confirmation hearing. She was just making it up. Whether you agree or disagree with her appointment, again, that's open for the MAGA world. We're the biggest MAGA show out there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
So you guys obviously matter to me more than anyone. That's open for debate. Tell me in the chat. You like her? Someone says Cash out. No, no. Cash is FBI director. Kristi Noem is DHS secretary. I'm watching the chat right now. You guys like to pick or don't is up to you. However, it's a really good sign that at least when it comes to the Secret Service, remember, she's in charge of ICBP, FEMA.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
All right, I'll give it to you, but I'm not going to get emotional about it because I believe in outcomes. I'm going to tell you some things we need to happen. If they don't happen, you can form your own opinion. Hey, we may have won the election to fight to restore our great nation's only beginning. Now's the time to take a stand. Patriot Mobile's leading the charge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
She's got a big HSI. She has a huge portfolio, hundreds of billions of dollars in money, massive amounts of personnel. It's a big job. But the Secret Service has to be for her, I believe, priority one.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Because if we can't keep this guy alive and fix this thing right away, and she's going to be the supervisor or the director of the Secret Service, if she doesn't agree to get rid of investigations and work with Congress, because they're going to have to fix 18 USC 3056, they're going to have to rewrite that, then nothing's going to happen. So there's a little bit of good news.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Sorry, I'm just getting up doing some air squats there. You guys just saw me. I hear this thing, if you contract your muscles, they release these chemicals into your body and they get you going and get you moving. So, right guys, you always see me doing these, do some military presses with my bad shoulders, do some fake chest flies, pec flies, some air squats before the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
At least she understands the problem. So I'm going to leave it there, folks. I had nothing to do with it. I gave my advice. At this point, it doesn't appear like it was taken. I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm happy to provide it. If you don't want it, that's fine. I did not get elected president. I never ran for president. I ran for office. I lost.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
If they wanted my political opinion in Congressional District 6 in Maryland, we would have won. We lost. However, you seem to like my political opinions. God had a different path for me. This is it. We're the number one MAGA show out there. The MAGA sphere is here. It's here every single day. There's 126,000 of you here right now. There it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And if I sound a little upset about things, I just, I promise you, I only have the boss's wellbeing in mind. That is it. Nothing else. Okay. That's probably the hardest segment I've ever done because I realized that a lot of people aren't going to be happy. And then left wingers will love that because I'm acknowledging what they've wanted to hear the whole time. You have lefties. You hate my guts.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
You want to hear, Oh my gosh, they don't, he gave his advice and they ignored him. There you go. Let's just hope and pray that these changes happen. And then maybe it's just hard to talk about because there's so much at stake. All right. I got a lot coming up, including President Trump, who was nice enough to come on the radio show yesterday and spend about 15, 17 minutes with us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Wide ranging interview covered the drones, covered the not so smooth transition, covered also the January 6th. That answer kind of lit up the Internet yesterday. It's fascinating how many news outlets refuse to cover it because it's the Dan Bongino show. Don't worry, guys. That's why you're no longer the news. And we are. We got you. Folks, a great story right here.

A lady named Phyllis walks into a neighborhood pharmacy in New Jersey and asks the pharmacist for an antioxidant cream for her wrinkles. The pharmacist says, I'll compound one for you. Come back tomorrow. Phyllis uses the cream for three days, goes back to her dermatologist. The doctor, just looking at her, thinks she got some work done. That's, believe it or not, how GenuCell Skin Care was born.

Thank you to Margo and Dan Scavino and the rest of his team who were facilitated the interview. It's one of his first. I think he did Hugh Hewitt and another interview. So it's.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
since he's been elected, and we appreciate it. I asked him yesterday about the transition, how Joe Biden is throwing every obstacle in his way. Folks, I've told you about what Joe Biden did with Cuba, pulling him off the state sponsor list. Joe Biden shoveling money out the door to hurt Donald Trump's GDP numbers and to pay off lobbyists.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Joe Biden yesterday putting out new Title IX NIL things that's going to screw up all the college sports. Did you see? Folks, it's... I don't have time to go over all the things this guy's doing out the door. I'm just telling you, you can expect more damage over the weekend. This guy has a few more days to F your life up, and he's going to take it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
If you like college sports, he screwed up the whole NIL system yesterday. He basically said, you got to give the same amount of money to men and female athletes. Really? Really? So you're telling me that the center, who the Cooper flag guy for Duke, who's one of the best basketball players in the country, should get the same money as Hannah Jones, who's a rower on the team?

I mean, this is what they do. All out the door, this is all going to have to be unscrewed now. I asked President Trump about the smooth transition bullshit narrative. He was all over it. Check this out. Mr. President, this is not a smooth transition. He's trying to hurt you as you get into office. There's no doubt about that.
The Dan Bongino Show

635 million acres, just a small amount of property. You know, I went on to tell him during that interview that, you know, it doesn't even take a real estate guy to figure all of this out. Biden walking out the door is trying to burn the place to the ground first. Folks, that's what Joe Biden does. And I just want to warn you, Want to warn you on a Friday, and I know it's Friday.

If they can create a laborious process for President Trump, the way he's going to spend six months trying to undo Biden's stuff, then ladies and gentlemen, it's six months he can't spend doing his own stuff. The great Mike Benz put this clip out. This is a really powerful clip. I want you to watch it. It's not Benz. It's another commentator. It's about exactly what Biden's doing right now.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I see a bunch of commentators who have this all wrong. This guy nails it. They're like, oh, don't worry. Donald Trump's going to come in office and overturn this stuff. Yes, you are 100% correct. The problem is it's going to eat up all of our time. Biden is burning the house down on the way out. Listen to this. The process is punishment. This explains it perfectly. Check this out.

The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I know that clip is long, but I want you to digest and tattoo on your brain every single second of what that gentleman just said. He's 100% correct. Everything Biden is doing out the door is designed to F you at the drive-thru. Leo gets style. That's he's none of this is done because Biden cares about the country. Biden hates the country. Biden hates you. He hates himself. He hates his family.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Biden walking out the door is taking out his internal rage at his. What does he have? Small syndrome. I don't know. He's taking his rage out on you. He doesn't care about college sports, offshore drilling, the economy, your wallet, your job. Biden cares about burning the country down. He's pissed off that his party hates him. He's pissed off he's leaving office.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The most discredited, unpopular president in American history. He's pissed off he's leaving office. under a cloud of suspicion about his ties to China. He's pissed off he had to pardon his son because his son was involved in a whole bunch of crimes he was being investigated on. He's pissed off because he's a lying, plagiarizing, kid-sniffing loser.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
So as he walks out the door, he's burning the place to the ground. The Elon Musk thing. Folks, I met Elon Musk for 10 seconds in a green room at the UFC. I have no relationship to Elon Musk whatsoever. What's happening to Elon Musk is only because Elon Musk did not kiss Joe Biden's ass like the monarch he thinks he is. Here's Elon Musk, by the way, in a clip you may have missed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The Biden administration is suing him. This case and all of the surroundings about it, most of this has already been litigated. He's only suing him so Donald Trump can pull the SEC off the case so the media has a little nugget story to go with. Listen to Elon and what happened to him with this guy being targeted because he didn't kiss the Democrats' asses. Sounds like a tyranny, doesn't it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
A hostage negotiation is exactly what's going on right now. That's how big, deep state liberal governors, people involved in government, excuse me, work. They use the government as a tool to kick you right in the balls. And you better spread them. If you don't, they're going to throw your ass in jail. There are still a few days left, folks. I want you to be very cautious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
That's why they're freaking out, by the way, about Kash Patel and others coming in. By the way, I'm watching simultaneously the Rumble chat. Thank you guys for all your nice comments, by the way. I love you guys. Sorry, I got off the mic. Who says that? Disgraceful. Scarrow 2001, you're absolutely correct. It is disgraceful. But what do I always tell you?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I don't want to call it some bombshell because that word is, as you well know, extremely overused, way too much. It's pretty much to be expected, but as the New York Slimes reports just now, Supreme Court backs the law requiring TikTok to be sold or banned. I just want to clear up a couple things. Number one, well, let me just put, let me get this out first. I disagree with the law.
The Dan Bongino Show

Measure the effectiveness or damage of a policy by your enemy's response. If your enemies don't really care, then it's probably an ineffective policy because they're not paying attention.

Watch all of the deep state accounts I've been telling you about. They're lefties. They disguise themselves anonymously under different kind of names. I'm telling you they're deep state lefties. They're ecstatic. They're ecstatic that my advice on presidential protection was at least ignored. They're ecstatic about it. You have to ask yourself. These deep state accounts that hide.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
They're 100% deep staters. I promise you, you are being fucked over. You have to ask yourself, why are they so happy about that? Why? Why? Never wrong. That's why the show's number one every day. Well, I take that back. Yesterday we were number two. But we've been number one every other day this week, live stream-wise. So we're the maggots for you. We lost to some, what was it, subathons.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
What are subathons? They're always like a big deal. These people, they do these big, like 24-hour streams and they get subscriptions and stuff. And I said, maybe I should do that sometime. Should we do a subathon, Guy? What do you think? That'd be a pretty cool idea. What do you guys think in the chat? We should do a subathon. Was it Kai or Speed did one? That would, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
They had like 300,000 people on a live. It's crazy. That's a big number, man. We had 500,000. That was election night. All right, quick break, and we'll get back to the show. I'm going to show you a clip. Guy insists if we don't play this clip that I'm not allowed to do a show with him ever again. I don't want to lose the guy.

Folks, panic is breaking out everywhere. It's breaking out everywhere over the appointment of Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, and others, because they know Donald Trump is here for shock and awe. I actually asked him about it in yesterday's interview. By the way, the interview, if you want to watch the whole thing, it's at rumble.com slash... Bongino Clips. We have a Bongino Clips channel too.
The Dan Bongino Show

I don't know if you know that. That's where you can find the full interview. Rumble.com slash Bongino Clips. That's separate from my Bongino channel if you want to watch the whole thing. But I asked President Trump about shock and awe. Folks, they are really terrified here. Kash Patel seems to have them particularly freaked out. I think he's an exceptional pick for FBI director.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
His hearing is going to be electric, and we're going to keep our eye on that when it happens. They seem really scared about Kash Patel. Why am I bringing it up? Kristi Noem's up there today and others. Because they keep asking everyone about Kash Patel, even though it's not even his hearing. Watch Danang Dick Blumenthal claims he served in Vietnam when he didn't. He seems obsessed with this guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
advocates of opposing political... Folks, I can't... The rules of the show do not change, okay? Always measure the effectiveness of a pick, a piece of legislation, or anything else by the reaction of your enemies. Why is Da Nang Dick... They've got Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem. They had Sean Duffy there the other day, Russ Vogt. They had Scott Besson at Treasury.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Why are they talking about Kash Patel every day? It should tell you, my gosh, Kash Patel's probably the biggest threat to the deep state because he is. That's why they're freaked out. They're freaked out because they know consequences are coming. One guy who's impressed me a lot, I've known this guy a long time from Florida politics, Mike Walls, former Green Beret.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
He's going to be Trump's incoming national security advisor. You know, the record in Congress is always going to be outcomes I'll disagree with. However, he's saying all the right things since this potential appointment. Well, he is the appointed National Security Advisor. You just haven't taken office yet.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Mike Waltz teases consequences for former intel officials who signed that ridiculous Hunter Biden laptop disinformation letter. I hope so. I hope there's a full investigation as to how these people were misled, air quotes, important air quotes, into believing Hunter Biden's laptop was some kind of Russian operation. You get the air quotes there? Who told them that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The law basically says that TikTok is fine as long as it divests from its attachment to the Chinese Communist Party. I just told you I disagree with the law. But it's really important that we don't get emotional about it and we speak about what the law actually is, not what people want it to be.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
They didn't really believe it, but who told them that? I want to see that information. You know what? Let's get to this Tim Poole because I don't want to miss this. He'll lose his mind. I can't have this guy melting down. He'll start quoting Star Wars. We'll get into a Rogue One fight again. It'll blow up in the chat. The show will get completely distracted and fall off track.

Folks, the gaslighting is about to come to an end. Google just pledged like Facebook will see what happens. You don't throw the Axios thing up first, if you would, to dumping fact checking. Now, Google, I trust even less than Facebook and other companies. I am still banned from YouTube. I will not be back on YouTube. I'm on Rumble. However, I am banned for telling you masks don't work.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
which they don't. So Google says they won't add fact checks despite this new. I trust Google even less. They're all kissing Donald Trump's ass right now, all these people. But the gaslighting is about to end. And fake fact checking was a big portion of it. The reason you don't know about COVID, some people out there who are just having their eyes open today.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
It's because people like me who tried to warn you about the vaccine, its pseudo preventative measures and masks not working as a prophylactic device. The reason people don't know about is just people like me were banned. You can go look that up. Dan Bongino banned from YouTube, not making it up. You go look for my official channel on YouTube. You'll notice it's not there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And it's not there because people were gaslit. Right. Because of fact checkers. The gaslighting effect is so powerful that when you see someone, what's the reverse of gaslighting? Like un-gaslighting? I don't know. When you see someone wake up from the stupor like Clockwork Orange eye-opener style, it is just a marvel to behold, and you can't believe they believed bullshit.
The Dan Bongino Show

So this King of Poker guy was on, very popular guy apparently. I don't follow poker too much. I play blackjack, and I'm not very good at it. I'm certainly not the king of blackjack, was on Tim Pool's show, an excellent program. And he's talking about the first time he found out that the fine people hoax was in fact completely made up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And it's stunning because all you had to do was go and watch the speech, which he finally decided to do. This is what it looks like when you're un-gaslit. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Because for political reasons, people on both sides of the aisle trying to blame everyone else because TikTok is popular and think they're going to get the youth vote. That's what's behind us. They're like, Donald Trump banned TikTok. Joe Biden banned TikTok. Chuck Schumer banned TikTok. John Toon banned. You see what they're doing? It's not a ban.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
You see why Guy loves this clip? Isn't it a marvel to behold when ScrewTube, Google, Facebook, and all these left-wing platforms run by communists stop censoring the truth from people that amazingly they go out and find it? I know a lot of you in the chat are laughing like, you believe the fine people hoax? You just had to watch the speech. I completely condemn the white supremacist.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I mean, he says it. But folks, listen, I am obviously not apologizing for anyone. I don't even know if I should say, because I know someone's going to misinterpret this, but it's fine. I got to say it anyway. I'm not apologizing for anyone. I'm simply telling you something I've said often. People have really busy lives. Lefties, righties, commies, Tea Party people. They do.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
They go to Twitter or Facebook or whatever it is, and they read the first thing they see. They don't even click on it. Trump talks about white supremacy. That's it. I'm not apologizing for them. I'm not telling you it's right. It's your obligation to do your homework. The hard reality is most people don't. And when you hide information, that's what you get.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And then when you unhide it, all of a sudden people are like, holy shit, I've been red-pilled. It's like we've been telling you the entire time. You want to know the next massive red pill coming? Ladies and gentlemen, January 6th. We can all watch the videos. We all know what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
But the strangest thing about January 6th is we still don't have answers about the scaffold erected to hang people. Who exactly put that up there? We have no answers as to why the doors were seemingly opened and people were welcomed in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
We have no answers as to how many feds were in the crowd, despite me telling you there were feds in the crowd who've shown me pictures of them in the crowd working. We have no answers on the January 6th pipe bomber, who he was, despite the FBI, all the evidence points to the fact they know who he is right now. This is the next massive red pill.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
So President Trump, again, was nice enough to come on the show yesterday. And for those of you who missed it, Did you guys like this question or not? This was for you. You wanted some answers? He was happy to give them to you. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
identity of the infamous january 6th pipe bomber it seems bizarre to me that the fbi uh continues to manipulate the american public about this case can we get an answer between you pam bondy and hopefully kash patel on who this person is and have the fbi open the books because i believe this is a huge scandal and a massive cover-up
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
They have said to the Chinese Communist Party, at least affiliated, people running TikTok, you cannot have this attachment and have this media presence in the United States. That's what they've said. TikTok has an amended, they've almost made the decision if they go offline Sunday to ban themselves. Again, I disagree with it. I'm just telling you what it is. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
He's not letting it go, folks. And I know all the swampies out there in the Republican Party, you need to focus on inflation. Yes. You need to focus on the board. Yes, you are 100% correct. We also need to focus on the massive deep state scandal that is the January 6th subterfuge. Folks, I know what happened.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I get it, deep state Republican rhinos, deep state Twitter accounts, faking it that you're something else. Oh, I'm part of the, you're not, we know what you're doing. I understand you don't care about what happened on January 6th. I understand you're going to tell us over and over. Some people assaulted cops. I have spoken out against that, always will, period. End of story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
It's been repeated a million times. I wish the day would have went differently. It did not. I also wish that the other side would acknowledge that we're clearly being bullshitted about what actually happened that day.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Thank God President Trump, and I'm not using the Lord's name in vain, I mean thank you Lord Jesus Christ that we won this election and we're going to get some answers about what our government's been up to. Folks, there's some economic gaslighting going on too. There was a hearing yesterday that did not get a lot of attention, but I'm telling you it should have.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
President Trump picked a treasury secretary, a guy by the name of Scott Besson. And Scott Besson, he's not the most, I don't understand, I'm not trying to insult him. He's not the most fiery guy. I mean, he's certainly not like the Dan Bongino show in that respect. And that's probably a good thing for treasury secretary. You want to calm the markets, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
My job is to get you excited about politics, right? But the hearing yesterday was pretty incredible. I just want to play a couple of clips. And this one here, because economic gaslighting is a real thing, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
If there is one piece of economic gaslighting that I could break, if God himself came down tomorrow and said, Dan, I am going to allow you into people's brains to change one stupid thing liberals believe, it would be about Hauser's Law. I'm not going to bore you with all the economics, but Hauser's Law, named after Hauser, of course,
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
is the idea that it doesn't matter what the tax rate is in the United States, the income tax rate. People are going to pay about 17% to 20% of their money in income taxes overall, averaged across the economy. And once it gets higher than that, they'll do anything they can to avoid taxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
In other words, it doesn't matter if the tax rate's 90% or 20%, the government's going to get about 20% of your money. So what should that tell you? If you believe in math, that if the government's going to take about 20% of GDP, whether you agree with it or not, if you spend more than 20, you're going to run a debt of deficit every year. It doesn't matter the tax rate.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Besson tried to explain this to these idiots up on Capitol Hill yesterday. It's called Hauser's Law, H-A-U-S-E-R. Look it up yourself. It doesn't matter what the tax rate is. People will not give you more than a fifth of their income across an economy, unless you do like a VAT. That's why they want it, because you can't see it. Here's Besson trying to describe it to these idiots. This is great.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I promise it's worth your time. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Because TikTok could sell the company. Now you may say, Dan, well, that's a Hobson's choice. It's either this horse or no horse at all. Okay, fair enough. But it is not a de jure ban. Maybe it's a de facto one. I'll settle on that. TikTok doesn't want to sell. They're saying we'd rather pull the thing off the market. Well, I guess we'll see what happens on Sunday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
There is nothing your boy Dan Bongino loves more than economics. I know most people hate it. It's called the dismal science for a reason. It doesn't matter. Do you believe in math? We raise 17 to 20% of the economy in taxes. Besson's like, if you spend 24, you're going to be in debt. It's not freaking hard. Look it up. It's called math. Here's a great one here. I got two good clips.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
One, Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank just eating alive these CNN idiots. By the way, now that this TikTok thing is in effect, it's not a ban again, but TikTok may go off the air offline on Sunday if they don't sell. I am just an investor in Rumble. I am not a manager. I want to be crystal clear.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
However, as a Joe civilian, but who has a lot of money invested in Rumble, I do not manage the place for the thousandth time. I am going to highly recommend that Rumble, again, seek out Kevin O'Leary and others and get involved in the partnership if TikTok's going to be purchased. We have the video expertise to do this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
So Kevin O'Leary, I only bring him up because he's been talking about Rumble, but this clip is different. But I want you to watch another clip by Besson where he brings up this great point. Bernie Sanders, of course, communist, phony class warriors, rich himself. I think he has three houses or whatever. Here's Bernie Sanders calling out a group of rich people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
By the way, a couple of them I'm not even a huge fan of. They hate our guts. However, Besson points out this really interesting thing. Like, what are you talking about? Like two of those three people you're talking about, they made their own money. Like this fake fair share bullshit and this war on the rich is so pathetic because Bernie Sanders is rich himself. Check this out.

Hey, get some good night's sleep. Helix Sleep's offering 27% off. 27% off site-wide plus two free pillows with a mattress purchase. Just visit helixsleep.com. Folks, I've got a big show for you today. Of course, just broke before we got on the air. The TikTok, it's not a ban. I wish they would stop referring to it as that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Again, quickly before I move on to Secret Service and other things that were all over the news. Again, I got a thousand phone calls last night. I've told people, just listen to the damn show. I promise you, I'm not going to hide anything from you, okay? I disagree with the bill. Why?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Unlike Bernie Sanders, who seems to have gotten rich off of public service. Folks, you don't got to like rich people. Personally, I don't even like hanging around rich people. You notice why you don't see a ton of pictures every week of me hanging around country clubs anywhere or politicians or anyone else? Look at my Instagram. There's a couple here and there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
You're invited to dinner to speak to the president. You go out of respect. You'd be crazy not to. However, it's not the kind of thing that happens to me all the time. Why? It's not about them. It's not my thing. However, I'm not jealous of rich people because I do my own thing. I don't spend my time worrying about other people's bullshit. I worry about my own.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Here's Kevin O'Leary asking a really fascinating question on CNN. That applies to Bernie Sanders too. He's talking about Joe Biden here, but watch the panel kind of freak out a little bit when he asked a really simple question. How the hell did Joe Biden get rich? What has he created? I mean, Bezos at least has Amazon, whether you like him or not. Elon's got a whole bunch of stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
What the hell did Joe Biden create? Besides a bag of cocaine in the White House. What the hell did Biden create? Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Folks, you may say, why did you leave the response that had nothing to do with anything from Abby Phillips, the host you just heard there at the end? Because it's not related at all to the question. That's the point. O'Leary asked a simple question. Does anybody on this panel know how Joe Biden got rich? Did he create something, a service, a product?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And Abby Phillips is like, I know there's an open question about Joe Biden's legacy. Nobody's asking about his legacy. That's not what he said. He asked a simple question. Can anybody point to some value-added service Joe Biden, outside of his last name, has provided that made him rich? Anyone? And notice how she changes the subject. They hate rich people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
As long as they're not Democrat rich people that sold the country out for money, then they love them. Folks, if there's one more myth I could dispel outside of Hauser's law and the economics of taxation and spending, if God Almighty, who I love and adore, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Dan, I'm going to empower you for a day to change one more thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Because, folks, it is not a secret that the Chinese Communist Party has at least some degree of attachment to TikTok. And yes, they are absolutely using it for propaganda and to probably harvest data. You know that. I know that. I use TikTok. I use it for show prep because it's good for clips. I am well aware of the fact that they are probably monitoring what's going on in my account.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I would change the idea that government somehow cares about you and that government can do what the free market can't. Government has no incentive to fix any of your problems ever for any reason whatsoever at all. I hope you guys understand that. It is a third-party payer problem. The government does not spend money on itself. It spends it on other people, so it doesn't give a shit.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The people in government don't spend the money on themselves. They spend it on other people so they don't care. Milton Friedman has talked about this all the time. That's why they don't care about the cost of anything either because it's not even their money. Government is the worst way to allocate money every single time. Everything they do sucks because it's designed to suck. I love that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
You know this guy, Clay Higgins? Again, outcomes, but this guy seems to really love to stir shit up, and I love people who kick doors in. This representative, Clay Higgins, he's talking to a Social Security administrator head, and the guy's trying to tell him how great and how work at home and all this other stuff is at Social Security, how they're cleaning stuff up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The customer service is so great. So Clay Higgins, you guys see this? He decides, did you like this clip, Key? Clay Higgins decides to call- During the hearings, Social Security's helpline. And watch what happens. This is just glorious. This is your government hard at work. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
One hour and 28 minutes. What, the length of your show? No, that's how long he's on hold. He just said it great. How come nobody's done this before? This should be every congressional hearing. Social Security, which takes hundreds of billions of dollars a year from you and then wastes it and throws it away. They can't even answer the phone in an hour and 28 minutes? No.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I am by far, by far not telling you that private industry insurance companies are great at customer service either. But folks, there's a difference. You call whatever. I'm just throwing in all state insurance and you don't like waiting for 20 minutes. You can cancel and go to Joe's insurance or Bobby's insurance. You can find an alternative. What's your alternative to Social Security?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The answer is nothing. You're stuck. They take your money no matter what. They have no incentive to improve customer service because they have an entitlement to your money. It's literally called an entitlement. They don't give a shit. And they will never give a shit. Ever. Clay Higgins. Hot tip. Genius. Folks, I haven't said it in a long time because the election ended.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
What are the two things that are most effective and kind of salient things you can do to make a political point? Pictures and soundbites. Clay Higgins holding the phone up and the sound of the elevator music in the background is not only a snapshot, but a soundbite too. That's how you make a point. Oh, it's all theatrics. Folks, all politics is theatrics. The only question is who's better at it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And that was very good. Hey, man, thank you guys for everything. Again, I really appreciate your support. I just want you to watch, please, for my sake and your sake, so you understand. I want you to watch Twitter X today. Twitter, put my name in there. Not because I'm some kind of egomaniac. I want you to watch what's happening. And I want you to see who's upset.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And then you'll see who's on the right and wrong side of the moral arc of history. Do it yourself. It's an interesting test to run sometime. I have to do some micro-targeting for my show, so I see it a lot. I'll have more to say about this on Monday. By the way, a lot of people ask me, what are we doing for Monday? For Monday, we will be here for a regular show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Folks, my For You page is about Caesar, the Roman Empire, life hacks, cold plunges, the effects of sauna, Dr. Rhonda, Huberman. I mean, I don't really know what they could be harvesting. I'm on there on a separate phone. I use that phone for show prep. I don't know... If you don't like it, then don't use the app. I'm a big boy rules guy. I'm sorry.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
You guys, maybe we'll start a little early, maybe 15, 20 minutes early. So on Monday, but it'll be a regular show, regular radio show. We'll be covering the inauguration. Monday's going to be a great day. Enjoy yourselves this weekend. Keep an eye on Biden in the final closing minutes, though. Anything can happen. Please download the Rumble app. If you would follow our show, we'd appreciate it.

Just click that follow button on Rumble, rumble.com slash Bongino on the web. And if you go to Apple and Spotify, follow the Dan Bongino show, I'd really appreciate it. I'll see you back here on Monday. You just heard the Dan Bongino show.

Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I mean, there's a guy on Twitter this morning, like, trashing me on, oh, they have Bongino on Rumble. I said, the guy's on Rumble. You don't see me telling Chris to see, oh, hey, can we get rid of this guy? You can't be a free speech guy and not be a free speech guy. I don't mean legal free speech. It's not a First Amendment issue. It's not. I just mean, you know the rules.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
You don't like TikTok, then get off TikTok. All right, enough on that. It just happened, and I want to make sure you have my thoughts on it because it's an opinion show. Folks, I got just eaten a lot. Last night was not a good night for me. I slept like a champion. I feel great today. But I did not feel good last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And, you know, one of the things that I hear from you most often that creates this attachment between me and my audience is you guys say to me often the greatest compliment in the world is, hey, Dan, the show feels authentic. That's because it is. Folks, I'm not going to fake it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
And if something makes me look bad, then it's my obligation to kind of talk about it honestly, even if it makes me look bad, because it's not up to me to sit here and pretend to be something I'm not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I have said repeatedly there are some Internet rumors and some reporting by credible reporters, including Susan Crabtree, who's very well sourced, by the way, that the next director of the Secret Service is going to be Sean Curran. I'm going to tell you in advance all the disclosures you need so you understand how I'm trying to be objective, but it's understandably hard.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Sean Curran is a good friend I've known a long time, a very long time. We've been through a lot together. Sean is a good and decent and kind human being with a ton of character and a lot of dignity, and he's a patriot who loves his country. That's indisputable. Is Sean Curran the right man to be the Secret Service director? Ladies and gentlemen... I don't know that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I'm sorry, but you're my audience and you're looking for authenticity and I'm not going to forfeit it over a personal relationship. Before I get to Curran and Sean Curran and my opinion on that too, I just want to say, I've said repeatedly to you and I don't know why people keep reaching out to me. Stop asking me this question. I had zero input.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The law against TikTok having foreign ownership was upheld by the Supreme Court. We're going to get into that. Also... I had President Trump on the show yesterday. He was fantastic. It was one of the best interviews we've had with him. He does a number of good interviews. But yesterday was really on point. We covered a lot of territory. So we're going to bring up some of that and discuss it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The first conversation I've had about this was yesterday. That is it. I have had zero input. You guys impart upon that what you want. I'm just giving you the facts. Nobody has reached out to me about this at all. Nobody. You want me to sit here and tell you this? I am that like John Fund, right, fellas?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
You got that John Fund piece that I'm the guy sitting there pushing the buttons of the transition team. John Fund from National Review says that I was an integral figure in picking Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz. Folks, I'm not even an integral figure in picking the Secret Service director. I don't know what anybody's talking about.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I have almost zero relationship with anybody on the transition team at all. I don't understand. Like you get these anti-Trump people like Dan Bongino is a closet cabinet guy. He's advising Trump. And then you get these other people who are disappointed that I'm not more connected than I am. That's not who I am. I have a relationship with president Trump.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
It's a good one because we don't, I don't bother him. And that's it. But that is, I had nothing to do with this at all. Nobody called, nobody asked me anything. Now, having said that, I will say I'm disappointed. Not in the selection, we'll see what happens. I'm an outcome-based guy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
But I'm disappointed because if these four things don't happen with the Secret Service, which, by the way, no one's called and asked about at all. I mean, it only involves the president's life. I mean, why would anyone give a shit, right? If I sound a little perturbed about that, I am because I actually care about the president. And I told him as much yesterday.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I actually genuinely care about this guy staying alive. And I've told anybody who will listen, including him. If he's not alive, none of this matters. The Secret Service is grotesquely unprepared to keep this guy alive for four years. They're not even prepared to keep this guy alive the first year. There are four things that need to happen. And I need you to pay very close attention.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Because is Sean going to be a good director or not? He's a good man. He's a great man. Is he going to be a good director? The answer, folks, I'm going to tell you, was not my first pick. It has nothing to do with his character. Four huge things need to happen. Number one. The Secret Service needs to dump investigations right away. I've said it a thousand times.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I don't want to recover this segment. You guys are bored of it. If the Secret Service does not stop wasting over 50% of its manpower chasing counterfeit bills at a 7-Eleven at midnight, rather than keeping President Trump alive, someone's going to get dead fast. End of story.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
There is no protection agency on earth, private sector or public sector, that if they went to a CEO and said, we can't protect you today because our agents are out investigating a counterfeit bill at 7-Eleven that wouldn't be fired. The Secret Service gets away with it because they've been lying to Congress forever. We need to do investigations. It makes better agents. That is so hilariously dumb.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Also... There's a whole bunch of rumors going around. I haven't seen it yet from president Trump about the secret service director. Of course, my name, no matter how many times I bring this up, continues to get dragged into it by anti-Trump people, by left-wing lunatics. I don't know how many times I got to clear the air on this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I'm stunned nobody in Congress has picked up on it. What really pisses me off is I've been working with members of Congress and you know who you are. many of them, on a piece of legislation to fix this. Is Sean going to do that? I hope so. I have not spoken to him about it, spoken to some other people. I really hope it does happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Or is he going to go up there and defend investigations like every prior director, which is going to in turn lead to the next day another complaint that the Secret Service doesn't have enough manpower? You can't have it both ways. Either you have manpower doing other things or you don't have manpower. Second, the DEI stuff has to go. Is he going to fix that? I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I choose not to get emotional about it. Passionate, not emotional. We're going to see. He could be the change agent. He could. And if he is, believe me, all the accolades are going to be on this show. The DEI stuff has to go. The Secret Service has been one of the worst offenders in the federal government at promoting people because of all kinds of ridiculous characteristics.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I can't even tell you how many times I heard, well... We need this many flankers around the presidential limo. One has to be black, one Hispanic, one woman. You're like, wait, what? I thought we just wanted people to protect the president. They are the worst offenders.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
If Sean Curran is the next director, I haven't heard it from President Trump, by the way, so I'm kind of like have to apply the Bongino rule, but it's hard to because it's Friday and folks, I'm getting bombarded with questions. I can't go the week of it out.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Is he going to scrap this DEI crap and just start promoting people, men, women, black, white, Asian, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, according to merit or because we got to keep this guy alive or are we going to continue with the DEI bullshit? That's the second thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Third, I told you in my congressional hearing, something I've been absolutely laser focused on, the Secret Service is the worst government agency by far on technology. They don't trust anything. We used to joke, and it's not funny, but we laughed about it at the time because you had to or you'd cry. The Secret Service's motto was yesterday's technology tomorrow. They were using... What is it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Smartware in the 2000s. If any of you know computers, smartwares from like the 40s or something smart. They didn't even use smartware on like the Apollo missions. It was so old. They don't know what they're doing with technology. It's because their people aren't comfortable with it, so they're afraid to get outside the box.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The Secret Service needs massive private partnerships with technology companies and real others to figure out how to leverage everything from AI to satellite technology to satellite internet to geolocating to anti-drone technology to drone technology to surveillance cameras. They are way, way behind. I've got on good authority. They are totally unprepared for the inauguration as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
If you just listen to my show, you wouldn't have to reach out to me for comment like a thousand media people did yesterday. And I'm not talking about the one I actually talked to, you know, your name. So she, she's wonderful, but yeah, I've told you this. I don't know how many times I have to say it. I know a lot of you are asking me for my opinion.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I've warned you about it. Let's just hope luck strikes again. The fourth thing, so we got investigations, the DEI crap, the technology problem. The fourth thing, the Secret Service has a massive culture problem. It has a huge culture problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
The culture at the Secret Service of doing more with less is, one, false, and it's been embedded into them that they should sacrifice the job to do more with less. They don't do more with less. They do less with more. Their budget's increased, and yet the protection is less effective. How do we know that? Because President Trump was almost killed twice.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
Kristi Noem, who is going to be the boss of whoever runs the Secret Service. I haven't heard anything official. Again, I want to be clear. But the rumors out there, and I'm getting bombarded with questions, and I'm going to answer all this today. I've given my advice. It hasn't been taken.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
I really genuinely hope, as I put on Twitter last night, from the bottom of my heart, really, that it works out. Kristi Noem, who is going to be the DHS secretary, I don't see any problems there. She's at our confirmation hearing. It's actually going on right now. It's a pretty uneventful hearing. Again, you're free to tune in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Joins The Show To Drop Massive Truth Bombs (Ep. 2403)
These hearings always kind of ding up our live stream numbers a little bit. We lose about 5,000, 10,000 people, but that's good. It shows people are interested in current events. We make it up later. This one's really kind of uneventful. She's kind of an uncontroversial nominee. She's, you know, she's not, Kristi Noem's not going to like really light up anybody's partisan fires.

Folks, you're not gonna, he's not a big outspoken guy, Chris. He doesn't go out and do fancy fireworks shows and go, hey, look at me, I'm the free speech champion. You're never gonna hear him really talk about that stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
But when I got deplatformed by YouTube for simply telling you that masks don't stop the spread of COVID, which they don't, I had no other options other than this platform called Rumble. And Chris had put together an amazing website and had a great business plan. He had enterprise solutions for people. But we got together.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And it's funny to this day, although our business relationship will end as of today in many respects, You know, Chris came to me, and people kind of laughed at the initial deal we made, because it was really a handshake, and that was it. It was like, I'll be there for you, and you'll be there for me. You're going to be a free speech platform, and I'm going to advocate for free speech.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And Chris has been a real hero to the movement. So Chris, thank you, brother. You have been a godsend, and all the people out there who during that dreadful COVID era that were deplatformed, that were demonetized, and were given a path on rumble, we all owe a big debt of gratitude to Chris Pavlovsky. So Chris, thank you very much, man. I appreciate you. You're a good man.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Round of applause for Chris. It wouldn't be... And then we got warlord Brendan Dilley here today. Of course, there's going to be some meme that comes out of this today. So you know that's coming. And I think he works out in the same gym as these other two as well. So everybody here, I feel like the smallest guy in the room for the first time. So thank you, Brendan, for showing up.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
He lives in my neighborhood. You know that? So it's a beautiful place. I'm not going to tell you where because of all this other crazy crap going on now. So what do you guys have planned for me? Because I don't know what's going on. So whatever you got planned, you're going to have to go with it because I can't, you know, I don't know what you got here. What do you got? All right.

See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Is it an old one? All right. Let me see it. Welcome to the Dan Bongino Show. Day after my surgery. Some of you can see the, if you want to watch the video, move the microphone a bit. There's the quite long scar on my neck there. So you might be wondering why the hell we're doing a show a day later. Because I want to. And I want to thank you all.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
We got so many well wishes and we got flowers at the hotel and people were just overwhelming and they're outpouring of support. Twitter, Facebook, Parler, email, everything. And it means the world to us. I mean that. It's made this experience a lot easier to get through. I got a call yesterday, too. Just to show you what kind of a guy he really is, despite the media nonsense about the president.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
The president called before I went into surgery. I'm not kidding. Like, that's the kind of guy he is to check in on me and see how he's doing. He's just a wonderful guy. He really is. And it's a shame it gets lost in all the media hysteria about him. Just an amazing guy. He has he's sick himself or was and he's concerned about me. And, you know, he didn't even rush me off the phone.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Just an amazing guy right before I went in for surgery. So the prognosis is good, really good. Either way, I'm optimistic. I feel great. I don't want you to think I'm just doing this because, you know, I had nothing to do. I'm doing it because I want to be here. I feel good. If I didn't, I wouldn't do a show. You don't deserve that. But I feel great.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Dr. Singh is an amazing guy, and I want to thank Dr. Steve as well. You know who you are for helping get this all together. I mean, think about it, folks. It was just, what, two weeks ago, right, that I found out I had a tumor in my neck, and it's already been removed, so... I really appreciate people helping me out. It was a really troubling moment in my life and you all made it easy.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
So thank you so much to all the doctors, the staff, the nurses as well. And to Gene, the nurse, you probably don't watch my show, but you were so nice. I appreciate you taking care of us yesterday as well. Man, I can't believe you guys found that. That was the day after I had the tumor removed from my neck and

In case you missed it, if you're listening on audio, at one point you see I turned my whole body. I'm talking to Paula. That was in a hotel room in Upper Manhattan, right next, near Sloan Kettering. And it was during COVID. So you remember, Paula? We looked out the window and there was nobody. It looked like that movie, I Am Legend. There was no one on the street. Wow.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
No, everything was closed because I was in so much pain and we hadn't gotten the prescription yet. And she's like, you sure you want to do a show? And I said, yeah, yeah, we have to do a show because I want the, I don't want the audience. I never wanted you guys to, I didn't want you guys, I didn't want to be anybody's victim. I don't know how to say it and be cute about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Cutesy times over, right? I never wanted to be anybody's victim. You know, when I went to MD Anderson, For our radiation. There were 13-year-old kids with two weeks to live. And I was like, don't feel bad for me. I lived at that point 46 years. I was fine. If God took me, then... Messing with this pen. I just, I don't want to go. But, you know, it was okay. Okay.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And I was like, ugh. And I think Paula had to move a picture off the wall so we had a white wall in the background. Thank you for laughing. It really does, it helps me so much. But yeah, that's a true story. President Trump called in the hospital, in the hospital. He was the president. COVID was going on. You have to call me. And he said, do you need anything? It was. It was.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
It was about, yeah, maybe like two weeks before the election. I said, yeah, I need you to save the country. That's about it. Don't you worry about me. That was a good one. You guys really started with the hard stuff. For a guy who's like, man, he comes out of the gate. For the guy who's like the most unemotional guy ever. You think so? I know. Jim's making fun of me because I'm new. Thank you.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
See, I need the humor to break this up, but this is going to be a really hard show for me. I have the worst mic discipline ever. When you look at the greats, Rush Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, guys who have been around forever, they know you got to eat the microphone sometimes. Not me. I'm like this. You can't hear. But nobody can hear you, bro. Nobody can hear you.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
But I had to eat that because we forgot the mic stand. So I know you remember that, Paula, well. That was our I Am Legend moment, but we made it. All right. What else you got for me, Guy? I hope you got the tough stuff out of the way because this thing is already wet. So what do you got next? All right. Good. Give me a break for a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
You know who did that video? Yes, Evita's mom did that video. I got that on my phone at my 50th birthday. I see a message pop up. It's a text. I see Rachel Duffy. I'm like, oh, hey, happy birthday. I didn't see the video until a few minutes later because it didn't come through. So remember, Paul, I was in the office. We had, I don't know, Brendan, you were there, like 250 people.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
We had a concert going on. It was crazy. And I said, oh, Look at this. The boss did a little video for us. Yeah, I remember that. I love that line. I didn't think you'd make it this far, but now you make it. That is like so the boss, right? There's no more appropriate birthday message than that one. Hey, Guy, you want to take a quick break here so we can take care of the people?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Okay, all right, let me just hold on. Let me wipe my eyes here so I can see straight. All right, he says do one more. I needed a little bit of a break. Hey, guys, how you doing? You don't have to be too quiet. Just close that door behind you because it gets hot in here. All right, what do you got for me? You tell that to the black family.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Do you guys see the look on Hannity's face at the end? He's like, whatever, guys. We'll leave it there. Haley, come on, though. Tell me those things didn't kick ass in the ratings, right? It was like, guys, you have no idea. Haley worked in Hannity's show for a long time. And when I had my own show, she used to show me, but I never kind of got the inside baseball until I did my own show at Fox.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And they get these kind of minute-by-minutes, you know, simple little line graphs. And Haley would be like, look at this, you and Geraldo last night. It'd be like this. You know, Hannity always did big numbers. And then Geraldo would come on, and it'd be like this huge spike like that. Everybody loved those fights with Geraldo.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
How many people we got watching right now? 290,000 people, and the show just started. So we'll be the biggest live stream in the world. Oh, man. You guys... Look at his crew. Just so you know, folks, my last show, my team, who I love to death, and my wife and my crew have put together... A cold open for me. I have not seen any of this. I promise you. Virgin eyeballs on it.

See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And I knew we'd—you know how you kind of don't know you made it until you made it? A mediaite who hates our gods. I mean, right, guys? They can't hate me anymore. Like, mediaites are always writing bad stuff about me, whatever. But Mediaite had their top 100 people, whatever it is they put out every year. And me and Geraldo were like 41. Like, Dan Bongino and Geraldo's must-see viewing.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
It was must-see viewing for me. I used to look forward to it. But what would happen, Paula? You remember this, when I would come downstairs? So I was in the house, that studio. I couldn't sleep. I could, right? I could not sleep. I'd be like, maybe it's too much inside baseball, but hey, whatever. I'd be like, you need to like scratch my head or something.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I can't relax because I would come downstairs so riled up. So when people used to tell me like, is that an act? I'll be like, no, it's not an act. Look at the show the next day. There's bags under my eyes because I couldn't sleep because I never knew where he was going with stuff. I will say this. Thank you, Geraldo, for the nice tweet. As you know, I'm a spreadsheets guy, folks.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Passionate, but I don't get emotional. Me and Geraldo disagree on a lot of stuff, but I'll tell you, when I saw him in the studio at Fox, he was always a gentleman, so I appreciate that. And people can disagree, right? I mean, that's what makes us different than savages, right? We can disagree on stuff. And thank you for the nice tweet after you heard that I was leaving, so I appreciate that.

See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
That perfect, as only Guy can do for the last time. Speaking of spreadsheet, have you done your tax yet? Only Guy does that because he knows I get off on these tangents sometimes.

I'm going to kill this freaking fly. I knew it. You see that little ****? This is real. Here he is. He's right here. I'm telling you, he's mocking me right now. He was mocking me. He's like, ah, loser. He is. He's a liberal. He's a far left flyer. This happened in a break in the Fox show. They breed like rabbits. And you can't get rid of them. I've tried everything.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm ready to fumigate the whole house with deadly chemicals just to kill these things, just to prove a point. They'll land right in your face during the show because they're just like, they're flipping you the middle finger. I just got to find this little because he's driving me crazy. I'm telling you, he's mocking me. You're having a fight with a fly. It is. It happens all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I do it all day during my podcast. Yeah, Dave, sorry. Just having a fight with a fly. Guys, I was just telling you this story. So you guys, you gotta know everything if you're gonna be out there in the Bongino Army and I'm gonna be gone for you. You need to have the whole library material. So what happened there? So the old studio, sorry for the sniffles.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm just really emotional today, so my apologies. But in the old studio, we had converted an apartment And I'm so glad when we brought on Evita that she saw the old studio. We were on top of each other. I mean, it was not cozy at all because it was just me and Paula. And then we brought on Evita and Michael and Guy and Justin.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
So we knew we had to get out of there, but it took a while to build this place. But the studio we had was a converted apartment. So when we converted it, one of the contractors forgot to seal off a water pipe. It was like a kitchen sink. So these little drain flies, and you couldn't see them on the Fox show, they would like fly around. And I'd be reading a monologue.
The Dan Bongino Show

See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And it'd be this really emotional monologue. Be talking about some crazy thing that happened. It's like some tragedy. And some fly would be like, shh. And he'd be hovering in front of my face. I don't think they have fingers, but some of them were giving me the middle finger. I'm telling you, these things were mocking me. And they were slow.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And then they would only get fast when you tried to get them. They'd be like, right? You remember Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid with the thing, right? And then I'd be like that. And the thing would be like Carl Lewis, boom, sprinting out of there. The whole damn show. So Sabrina will... My team over at Fox, they were hilarious. They're like, Dan, we got a surprise for you on this show this week.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And they were, of course, the camera was always rolling, and they rolled that clip, and I was just dying on the air. Don't worry, Patty. You can just answer that right here. Don't worry. We have phones going off. I told everybody. I said, guys, it's like 40 degrees in here, too. So I told everyone, there's a door over there. If you need to go outside and get inside a tauntaun, go right ahead.

Evita likes it at like 85. She's like, it's cold. It's 85 in here. Me, I put that sucker down at like 60 degrees. So I'm always hurting. But that's a good one, too, guys. That was great. I love that one from the Fox show. All right. Let me hear it.

They're arguing about things and debating how quickly they can deconstruct the greatest country in the history of mankind and all of the ideas and norms that have gotten us here.

You ain't gone, baby. Now, that is some unearthed, like, hardcore.

See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Nate, man, God bless you. Now, I ruined your whole song, Bulletproof, but you allowed me to come up on stage and just rock out with you. Brother, you've always been a good friend to me. I can't believe you're here. Thanks for joining the show.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Nate, when Paula and I, Paula, it was my 50th, And I know I told you the story, but Paul and I said, listen, we need to have someone really special here. And I texted your guy and I said, listen, if it's not Nate, it's nobody. Like, I don't want anybody else here but Nate. And man, did you rock that out. My doctor to this day is like, I'm not a country music guy, but I'm a Nate Smith fan now, man.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
But after taking this 10-year journey with you, I can't. I've already, my wife brought out some, I'm like, I already, I'm sorry. But I just love you guys so much that to spend this last couple hours with you Before we go on to, you know, other things, other things, I'm going to do my best to hold it together. I appreciate you guys so much. And my crew, I don't even remember half that stuff.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
You've been such a good friend to me. You're such a patriot, too. You love your country and your fans. You're such a humble guy. That was just an incredible night. It was such an honor to have you there.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
You know, I was doing the radio show and I saw FaceTime and during the break and it was Nate and it was the day that this was announced. And that was an emotional call. And, you know, you said something to me. It really kind of touched me. I feel like, you know, you and I kind of almost came up together. I mean, we've known each other about two years. I ran into you. Well, yeah.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I ran into you, you didn't run into me. I saw you opening up for Morgan Wallen and you were just amazing. And I looked at Paula and I said, who the hell is this guy? You just blew me away. I never went for the opening acts. I just went to see Morgan, but we had nothing to do in Houston. And there were people like crying when you were singing. So the guy next to me, remember Paul?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
He's like, that's Nate Smith. I went home, downloaded your whole album and I followed you on Instagram and you immediately followed me back and you had the nicest things to say. And we've been friends ever since. And now you've blown up so many chart toppers. Bulletproof is still my favorite song. I sing in the shower horribly, as you've just seen. But you've blown up, too. You're in Ireland.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Were you in Norway before this, too? I just saw it on your Instagram.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Thank you, man. You know, you absolutely know the feelings mutual. Guys, just support my buddy here. Nate, one thing, no, I got to tell you, Paula and I have felt horrible about for a long time. Paula, you know what I'm going through with this? Nate, you gave us your jacket that night. I can't take it. It's such a nice jacket.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
The leather jacket he has on, Guy, can you pull up a still of that by some chance? He gave us a, we'll do it afterwards, but that jacket, I can't. I got to give it back to you. I can't take it. No, I can't accept it. I have it hanging on a mannequin in my man room and everybody loves it. And because everybody loves it, they're like, oh my gosh, he gave you this?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm like, maybe it was a mistake and I had too many Don Julios. I'm like, I got to give this back to him.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I have some good pictures in that jacket. It does fit like a glove, Nate. Nate, man, God bless you, brother. America loves you. I know you love him back. Thank you so much. You've been such a great friend to me, bro. Thank you so much. Godspeed, brother. Congratulations. Thank you, Nate. All right.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Take care. Wow. How did you guys hook that one up? Guys, he's not like some incoming guy. This guy's like a big, major star. How'd you guys do that one? Was that you? Was that you? Paula worked at it? Everybody hooks up Paula. That's amazing. Thank you. And it worked. Like the tech, we're in a new studio. I was so nervous. I didn't want to do any guests or anything like that. All right.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I don't know how you're going to top that one. That was really a surprise. You don't want the jacket back, Paula. We feel so bad about this. Guys, right? This is the nicest tour jacket. There's another person? I have no idea who this is, folks. I'm really now messing with you. All right. Look at this. Country music. The famous John Rich. Big and rich. John Rich solo. The Lone Star.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
The great John Rich. A hero. A patriot. Redneck Riviera. I may have been in there a couple times with producer Jim. Hey, me and Cash were in there one day checking out the place. John, what an honor to have you on the show. Thank you for joining us, brother.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Some of it just happened, too. That election night, guys, was just a few months ago. It seems like it was like 10 years ago that we did that. And then the interview with President Trump. And the sign, that's the sign right out there, which he signed for us. It all seems like so long ago. And when we hit 500,000 on the thing, I think producer Jim was more excited. Did you see him in the thing?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
John, you have been, uh, just an incredible friend to me and my family. And for those of you who don't know, John and I go, Oh, there's the jacket. Look at that. Um, for those of you don't know, John and I go way back. John and I used to do the five together. And when I had gotten wind that this was going to happen, John's a very close friend.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
When I tell you a limited circle of people, I mean, you could fit them on one hand. One of the first people I reached out to was John because we're always working on projects. And John, I don't mean to be too long-winded, but John's always looking to take care of other people. And I found this singer in my church, this young lady, Anna.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And I said, John, you think we can... And John's on the phone right away on a Sunday. And he's like, here's what we got to do. And then this came up and I had to kind of back away from it. And John, we could not have been nicer. John, through your companies and your donations to charity, Redneck Riviera and all your stuff, you've always been amazing to people. And it's such an honor.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And hey, next time I'm around Nashville, maybe I'll have to drink that liquid death, the water stuff in the bar instead. But I'm definitely going to stop by, man. You've always been a friend to me and I will never, ever forget what you've done for me and for America, brother. Thank you. You are always welcome.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Appreciate it, brother. You guys brought the country music A-team out today. I mean, John's had like 10 different careers in country music. Big and Rich, Lone Star, John Rich himself in his solo career. And folks, I'm telling you right now, that guy is a genuine, genuine patriot. Trust me, there is nothing inauthentic about John Rich. I mean, Paula, how many times have we texted John?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Hey, John, can you do us a favor? Back to you instantly. If he takes five minutes, something's wrong. Someone injected him with some scopolamine or something, and he's out, because he gets back to you five minutes later, no matter what. So thank you, John Rich and Nate Smith. Guy, you got the jacket again? I want to see that picture. Pull that sucker up. So this is my party.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
That is me at the end of the night. I don't even know who that is to my left. Oh, that's my brother to the right. I don't know who that is to the left. But that's Nate's jacket. Folks, the back of that, that is hand-painted. And all of his tour dates are on the sleeve. And he's right. That does fit me pretty good. I mean, self-praise stinks, but whatever.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Aunt Jane will forgive me, God rest her soul. Someone painted that. So Paul and I were like, we can't take Nate's jacket. He gave us the jacket. And I'm like, was I just, oh, is that Brian Chisholm? Yes, it is. I'm like, I can't do that. But he says keep it. So, Nate, thank you. It's on a mannequin in our office. So that's the jacket, folks. That's my backyard right there, too, at the party.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
So the front was, you remember that part? I remember some of that party, a lot of it. I wish I got to say hello to everybody, but I didn't. I know, are you going to tell me something like, do you need to delete yourself? I know. I know. I knew you were going there. Our last break, folks, and we'll get back for the last half an hour of The Dan Bongino Show. Thank God you guys are here.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Jim got it with the white shirt. Jim almost fell off the chair. He got so excited. So I got a good show for you lined up. Well, actually, I have no idea what I've got lined up. So what am I talking about? I have no idea. It could be a terrible show. These guys put it together. But either way, we're going to go through it together. Listen, we've had great business partners throughout the years.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Really, the studio, I can't really, if you guys weren't here, I'd have broken down 10 times. You guys have so kind of lightened my mood and made this so refreshing. So thank you. What a great idea to have people here. I'm sorry if I'm freezing you out. Oh, look, Vicky Vacani's here as well. Our best friend, Vicky Vacani. You know the orthodontist?

The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
This is husband of the great Vicky Vakhani. There he is right there. If there's such a thing when you're 50 years old as bestie friends, and my daughter calls them besties and stuff, that's my guy right there. He'd been with me for a long time. And you notice everybody in my house has straight teeth. That's due to Dr. Vakhani. And you want to hear how I met him?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm at my daughter's school, I don't know, eight years ago or so. Our kids go to the same school. He's got two lovely daughters just like me. We're both girl dads. No sons for either one of us. And I looked at him and I'm like, man, this guy looks familiar. He was on Fox more than I was. You're like, Really? What, do you have a show or something?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
No, no, he runs ads here locally, and I just saw him on the ads all the time. I'm like, dude, you're on the network more than I am, and I work there. And we've got a lot of memories together in a lot of countries and a lot of places and a lot of states. Man, so many good times. So I didn't know you were coming by today.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
man my brother and that's saying a lot because let me tell you something this guy's like me like he doesn't stop working ever and when I remember I didn't miss a show for like five years so we'll be in his backyard on a Saturday night you know sharing some barley soda or whatever and uh we'll tell stories and he's like you know what Dan I was the same way he's like I didn't take a vacation because you know you had other orthodontists they come in and they steal you but I was the same way I didn't take off Christmas or anything I was like if there'd be other people they're gonna listen to and then
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
He's always been a source of good advice, so thank you, man. And I'm sure we've got a lot of good times ahead, but I'm going to have to fly back on the weekend sometime. We're still going out of that boat, which has created kind of an interesting situation. I'll have to see you on the other side on that one. All right, play one more for me. Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. What do you got for me?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Wow, that was intense. Oh! I needed a spear for that one. Don't jump in either direction.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Then you're like a leftist. Be transactional. All we want is plus ones and minus ones. That is it. Don't jump on me.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
You guys fit a lot in that one. Karate man, hold. Hold. Karate man. Because the karate man is patient. And he only feels pain on the inside. Hold. I will not steal you wrong. That was a double karate man. That was the birth of a meme. Is that the first one? My blood, sweat, tears, and my entire reputation. You don't need to have legislative or executive power to move the needle.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
The Bongino Army is strong because there's a lot of us, right? Why are there a lot of us? There are a lot of us because we happen to get out ahead of the stories and be three to four, sometimes six months ahead of a story. Look at the chat. One of the things I told you about a while ago that you're now seeing materialize. That chat's going to melt. I mean, actual formal executive power.

We don't have. I'm not the president. We all get that. Donald Trump is. President Trump now. One of the things you're seeing that we discussed early is... Do I have it? Yes, I do. Oh, no. Where are we going? What was I grabbing? What was it? It's the Dan Bongino. Oh, man. Rock'em, sock'em robot. What did I tell you? Theory of politics. Andrea, what did I tell you about this?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
You gotta punch this dude right in the grill. This is where, this is where, are you guys, is this like the memes where all the memes came? There it is. There it is, folks. The rock'em sock'em. The rock'em sock'em. And it still works, too. Look at it. It actually still works. I rock'em sock'd him myself. Jasmine? When you beat him, when you win, sometimes he falls off. Oh, look, I got it.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
No, but the bad guy won. There we go. That's it. The bad guy's not supposed to win. That's not the way that works. Andrea, what was I telling you this morning? After that clip, that's where, so that's where Rock'em Sock'em started, if you're a really new listener to the show. And that, of course, was Double Karate Man. If you guys don't get the joke, that was from the Eddie Murphy movie.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Was it Trading Places, was it? That's where that came from. That's my favorite scene in the movie, so that's the joke. But we got, and this is why, and look at him, the thing's blowing up. The chat, I think you guys seriously melted the chat down. We got probably close to a couple hundred of these things. Don't send. And I know, look at all the rock and sock. Oh, my gosh.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Nobody can do that to a chat like you guys. Nobody. It fries my phone. It's like my phone is. And we'll have to throw in a rock and sock for the last time. You know, thank you, guys. That was a good one. That's where all these memes came from. Those were good. All right, what else you got for me? By the way, the thing, Justin, too, if you guys get the chance for this. Yeah, yeah, at some point.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I don't know who sent this thing. Yeah, wait, before you go to the next one, Guy. Guys, I want to show you something. We got this this morning. I have no idea who sent this, but whoever did, this is hilarious. Paula gets this thing. Look at this. It's a painting of the Dan Bongino Army Air Force. Now, before you, oh, wow, that's a nice plane. You're missing the details.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Paula and I were in a rush this morning, so we missed the whole thing, so it's just sitting on the table, and look who, there's lovely Paula in a bikini. Well, not a bikini, a one-piece, but looking quite attractive, I must say. Now, there's my daughter, Amelia. There's Lucy piloting the plane. Is that, who is that? That's Michael in that little turret there. I think Justin is one of the gunners.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Guy's in the back. There's my other daughter. And then Vince is in there in the back. And then there's Evita and Hailey. Everybody makes an appearance on this thing. This was the most amazing thing, whoever put this together. So I'd like to say, tell me in the chat who you are, but the chat goes so fast. I have no idea. I have no idea who that was. But that showed up this morning.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Better to have emergency products and not need them, right, than need them and then not have them. So another crisis could hit. It happens all the time. Arjun, I don't have this stuff. Blackouts, storms, you've seen it. Emergencies, shortages, pandemics. It's happened just in our lifetime.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
That came just this morning, and we had no idea. That is how cool you guys are in the audience. We love you guys. Of course, we got to do at least one last Muttley, folks. The Muttley was the original. I mean, I kind of miss the Muttley. We've had to move on from other different elements of the show. But how many of these did we get? Oh, my gosh.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
We probably have something close to about 5,000 of these things. We could give them away every day for the rest of my life if I lived to 100. There you go. Rocking the Muttley chat. And by the way, that clip I played in the beginning with the flag, the flag really didn't come down. There's a ledge in my, I wasn't making that up. Usually it comes down and it'll be caught in the stick.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
The thing got stuck on the ledge up top. That really happened. What do we got here? We got a little something for you here. Oh, this is my lovely wife, Paula, of course. You were going to be using the show. I took some of the messages from the chat and we put it in this here for you. Oh my gosh. Let me read that. You're the best, Dan. You will be missed.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I expect great success from you in the future. Congratulations, Dan. Cutesy time is over. You guys are amazing. Thank you, Paula. And thank you to you all. Show it to the camera. Oh, yeah. Sorry, guys. I'm reading it. But there you go. Covering my face for radio. Everybody signed it. I see Jason. Fran signed it. Thank you, guys. Thank you for your service. I really appreciate it.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
We have the best chat in the world. I mean, listen, guys, live stream numbers, whatever, throw all that stuff out. It's just been a big family here, and I read your stuff. That's why I'm always looking at my phone. That's why Guy made me move the charger thing over here, because I have such poor mic discipline. Listen, let's just call it what it is. What would I do, Guy?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I had it over here to keep it off screen, and now you can't hear me. So Guy's like, just put the damn thing in front of you. Everybody knows you're reading the chat. I'm not like, you know, texting Paul about what's for lunch or something like that. I think we melted down the counter, too. This has been just a fire show so far, so... I appreciate it. Thank you, guys. There's another clip for me?

That's why Patriots of Pride brought back the emergency preparedness bundle one last time so you're ready to handle anything. The bundle has about everything you need.

So... folks, in honor of the great, the man, you know, they say that the man, the myth, the legend, but in this case, he is a man. He is definitely not mythical, but he is unquestionably a legend who has given us, what would you say, Guy? Hours of priceless content.

while I am gone from you, I have authenticated the Fugazi head with, no, seriously, it says authenticated, and that is my, here, I'll sign it again in front of Anita, aka, well, aka Anita, Andrea, so here, in pen, Dan Bongino, but, I did tell Anita this. I said, Anita, did I not tell you before? I go, you will be entrusted with the great Fugazi head, but I do want this back one day.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
So you on your own show, your own podcast, you and Speak have the McGraw and Cruz podcast over there. You are now being entrusted with a prized possession, the Fugazi head. She says she's blessed, and it is a great honor. I gave Jim my first Don't Get Dead coin. And we were supposed to give Jim Ren and Stimpy too, but honestly, I don't know where the hell Ren and Stimpy went.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
We threw everything in a box. We have so many cool little gizmos that I don't even know where it is. So when I find Ren and Stimpy, Jim, they're all yours, buddy, all right? Yeah, that would be a great idea. That's a great idea. Let's do that. So, guys, before I wrap up with you today, the end of the podcast, I just want to be sure to introduce to you who is going to be taking over my show.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Obviously, I will have a lot going on. I will be divorcing myself from the business. It's been a long process. I'm going to tell you something. I'm not in any of this for the money, the cash, any of that stuff. Obviously, no one goes into government work to get rich. I just like good people because if you surround yourself with good people, then good and great things happen.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And if you surround yourself with bad people, then awful things happen. Vince Colonese is one of the most talented people in the business. An incredible talent. He's had a show on WMAL. He is launching his podcast on the Silverlock Network on Monday at 10 a.m., so an hour earlier. You're going to have Steven Crowder afterwards on Rumble at 11. You've got Evita at 9. You've got Haley at 6.

You've got the quartering. You've got Don Jr. You've got an amazing lineup. Vince, it is an honor to have you. You're going to be taking over the radio show, too. And I just want to thank you for, you know, taking this on so last minute.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
All right, welcome to the Dan Bongino Show. Today launches the national radio show, the Dan Bongino Show, right after this podcast. With your host, me, shockingly named Dan Bongino. And it's really an incredible feeling. Band for life. Public enemy number one. Me. Little old me. Kid from Queens. Public enemy numero uno by the YouTube commies. You know what it is about live programming?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Nicole Wallace. Guys, Nicole, make sure Nicole gets a photo of Vince immediately when he wears his first Schmedium.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Why notice that? Isn't that the weirdest thing?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Brother, for as much as we've criticized Rachel Maddow, And Nicole Wallace, I promise you, you are not going to find a clip of me going, hey, that's some outfit she's got on. Like, what is the weirdest thing? Like, it was such an oddball comment out of nowhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
But a funny story on that. So yesterday, Paul and I, we got some guys at the house, some really good guys. And one of them bought me a T-shirt. And the guy said, I don't know what size you are. I said, well, you know, it's queen, so you got to round down. That's where I'm from. And he knew right away. He's like, let me guess, the shmediums.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I said, but I am 50, so I've got to kind of like size up a little bit. But Vince, thank you, brother. Man, you're the best. 10 a.m. on Monday, folks. His first guest, Tucker Carlson.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
McGroin crew spread the word in studio. Don, nice to see you. Thank you, Don. That's amazing. So thank you guys, I appreciate it, Vince. So guys, I'm gonna wrap this up here.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm really just a little bit overwhelmed. Because, you know, with the show and all the clips and having everybody here, the energy kind of just distracts you from the reality of, you know, what's about to happen. And it really hit me this morning. I want you to know how much I love you guys. I mean that. You know, people throw that term around, but I really love you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Producer Jim, of course, not paying attention, as always, because he's not used to this in the podcast. Producer Jim's brain does not activate until when? 11 Texas time, 12 noon our time. So we're at our, we love looking, he's already smiling. He's rocking a Bungino Army shirt. Wait, keep that up.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I feel like I've met so many of you. Some of you I've never even seen, whether it was Eric or Jeremy on the radio show. I'm just, I chose early on to interact with my audience in kind of a different way and it's paid me back so many dividends and there's nothing more incredible than going out at a book signing and someone goes, Hey, how'd that treat you gave Lucy the other day work out?
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And you're like, how'd you know that? You said it on the radio. I'm like, I did? The relationship seems so asymmetric at times. You know about me, but I don't know about you. But I know all I need to know about you, which is you've been there for me when I needed you. And to walk away from this was, I promise you, was not easy. But I absolutely know that this was the right thing to do.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I've told you over and over, but that measure the effectiveness of what you do in your life by how people who stand and tell you to stop react. And the reaction has been exactly what I expected. I promise you this. I'm going there with a clear mission in mind. I go there with a clear head. This was done for the right reasons.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And I am really, really, really going to miss doing this and being here with you every day. From this point on, if you follow me on... Deep breaths. Breathe in. It's easier. My social media accounts are not going to be abandoned, but I won't be posting about politics. It would be inappropriate during my time. There's understandable restrictions on that, which make perfect sense.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
But you can still follow me. I'll be opening up different accounts and official accounts and things like that. But I have to stay out of the political space because it's the right thing to do and it's the rules. And I hope you understand that. I'm not going there to be some partisan. I know the people who hate my guts in the media. I don't expect you to understand that.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
The idea of putting aside your politics to do a job is definitely foreign to you. I totally get that. But it's not to me. You know, I proudly protected two Democrat presidents and a Republican. No problem at all. I'm not sure you could do that, but I did. And now it's a different protection role. So I still got a radio show to do, which is crazy. Now I'm gonna get through that.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I know, I know, I know I'm going out of, but I didn't know what shirt to wear this morning for my last show, and I thought, Come on, this is obvious. You've got to wear the Bongino Army shirt as a salute to you guys, so thank you. Today's show also brought to you by our friends at Patriot Mobile, and they stuck with us for a long time.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
So I'll end as I began. I'll see you guys on the other side. This is now real. So President Attorney General Bondi and now director, gosh, that sounds good to say, FBI Director Akash Patel offered this role, a role I expressed an interest in. And ladies and gentlemen, I told you, you see, it's hard for me.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm going to accept the role proudly as the deputy director of the number two spot at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. My left shoulder doesn't work, so I wanted to do like a big dramatic thing, and then I just realized looking at the feedback, my left arm don't work. Let's just do the... Here it is. If you are listening, I love it.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Oh, look at that. If you are listening on Apple and Spotify, you know I love you guys. You are the original. We didn't even have a video show for years until the lovely Paulita said, I think we should do a show on video. By the way, she's sitting right here, too. This is the new studio. Welcome to the new Dan Bongino Show, the new Evening Scroll with Haley, the new Early Edition with Evita.

Fellas, for the last bell, I'm going to hear until I see you on the other side. All right, we just started. Deep breaths. I missed that bell. and the Kenny Bell, too, when the bell didn't work.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
The Kenny Bell is in storage now. Guys, first, before we get started, and I don't know what you have planned, they want me to live react to some of these clips, so this is a genuine reaction. I haven't seen any of this stuff. Just a couple of things I wanted to get to here. This show started in February of 2015. I had lost a race for Congress in It was pretty devastating.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
We had won on election night. If you go back and look on the election day, if you go to Maryland State Board of Elections here, shut down their website today. And you look at that 2014 November election, you'll notice on election day, we had won. And then there were votes came in afterwards. I'm just trying to tell you how it went down because you'll understand where this podcast started from.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And we wound up losing when they finally called it, I don't know, four or five days later. And Paul and I were pretty devastated. And I got to tell you, I really, I didn't know what to do. It took a while. But, you know, I'm all about getting up and dusting off and fighting the next fight. And I had read this article about this thing called a podcast.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
and how Adam Carolla was kicking ass on a podcast. And there was some political content, but not much. And I said to Paula, do we have any money left? And Paula was like, no, but we got this plastic thing called a credit card. I'm like, well, let's use it. I said, I think we should get a microphone, and we should start this podcast thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And I went down in my basement with Producer Joe, and we put some moving blankets on the wall, and we recorded our first show. And because we knew so little at the time about podcasts, we used a piece of trademark music, and it got pulled down immediately. So my first show, it's a true story, does not even exist. Someone allegedly has it, but I don't. We've looked for it forever.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Maybe audience archivist Judy has it somewhere. So if you go back, the second show you'll see is actually the first show. I think it's on SoundCloud and Apple. You'd have to go way back. But we never expected it to really explode as fast as it did. And then the Russia collusion fiasco happened, and the show just went stratospheric.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And we've moved, I had to write this down, from my basement in Severna Park to Palm City... with me and Paula. Paula was the producer. She was the only producer.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Then we moved to Stuart, and then we moved to this place now, which is the new studio, which is a converted Burger King, which we have Speak the Truth McGregor, and he brought me an actual Burger King ashtray, which is in the back, and that's how we wound up here. So some thank yous to my wife for sticking with me, because...
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
You know, I tell her all the time, you could have married a doctor and not have to deal with any of this stuff. But she didn't. She married someone who, I don't know, folks, you know, I don't know how to say it. Good enough was never good enough for me. And that sounds great in theory, but I got to tell you, it drives people around you sometimes crazy. And I don't know.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I always live by the whole adage, you know, big people do big things, you know. So, yeah. It's only 1059. Please laugh, because it breaks up my sadness. Really, it does. It helps me get back and grounded. But Paula's, we're the only two people crazy enough to marry each other and make this thing work. There's no other way I could have done any of this. There just isn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I love live programming because I need to operate under pressure all the time. I can't function any other way. Guy, wouldn't you agree? A much better life. By the way, big thank you. 100,000 just crossed 100,000 people wide.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
If you don't have a real rock behind you, then forget it. You're building a house on a pile of sand. I thank my crew. These guys have just put in incredible hours. I mean, they've been with me through thick and thin. Guy's been here the longest. Michael's been an incredible addition. Justin's been with us forever since he was like 13. We may have broken child labor laws or something like that.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm kidding. Like, this is law enforcement. He was an intern. And then we brought him on. He's been an amazing employee. He's got an incredible family. You know, Michael, we just met by chance. Michael's married to Evita. And then we had an opening for a spot. That's a whole other story when the statute of limitations runs out on that. I'll tell you.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And they were like, well, Michael's really smart. And he turned out to be just a gift to us. We got Jason here. Jason Howard has done my social media for how long has it been? Eight years? I don't even remember. Forever. It seems like I've known him forever. So everything you see on our social media, That's all Jason. Jason's right there. Look at these guys with the camera all fancy now.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I bet you never thought you'd be on camera. So there's Jason, the best social media manager in business. Matter of fact, he was so good on social media that there was an organized effort to stop Jason. Why is everybody tipping me? Don't tip me. I love you guys. You guys are the best. You do not have to tip me, please. I really deeply appreciate it. But I really mean it. Keep your money.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I'm just looking on the screen at the chat. They're putting the chat down there. So Jason, thank you so much. To Westwood One, CEO of Westwood One, Colin is here, and Teresa's been with us forever. She's kind of the Bongino whisperer. She deals with me and Mark Levin. So prayers for Teresa. Not for, Mark's great, but Teresa's kind of been the Bongino whisperer.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
And for those people who think that this was an easy decision, you see why we started early. I have a lot of thank yous, and they're necessary, and I want this on the record. You know, Westwood One didn't have to do this, folks. They didn't. I'm not going to bore you with the details and be inappropriate, but I'm telling you right now. They couldn't have been easier to work with.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
They were like, you're doing this for the country? We're in. That was it. So anybody who tells you like, ah, corporate America is a bunch of unkind, unfeeling assholes, you're just wrong. You don't live through what I lived through. They couldn't have handled this any nicer. And Mary Berner, who was the CEO of the parent company, got a lovely email from her as well.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
We haven't always agreed on everything, but I really appreciate you guys understanding
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Thank you. I really appreciate you all understanding why I had to do this. I want to thank Haley and Evita. Evita just walked in. I mean, two absolute studs. They're just amazing. Evita was our first hire. I knew it the second I saw her. I'm like, this woman is a star. Then she brings in Michael, too, which wasn't even part of the plan.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
But Evita's show, we just naturally have this chemistry together. I hope you saw the interview with her. That thing could have went on. What did you say to me? You said, okay, we got to wrap it up by this time. And I looked up and it was that time. And I'm like, let's just keep going, you know? Brian, killer. What'd you have, like 38,000 on the show? Evita's been amazing.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I hope you follow her when I leave. I obviously have not. She just does Evita, and it's just an amazing show. Haley's three shows in already, a top 25 live streamer. We've known each other a long time. She used to book me on the Sean Hannity show. Remember, you'd come down and get me, and I didn't even have a Fox pass. You have to get me in the line. Hey, I'll have to take you up on the elevator.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I didn't even have a pass to get in there. And we've known each other for a long time. She, I mean, just the gates open and boom, winning the race right away. I want to thank all my business partners throughout the years who have been with me and advertisers on the show who supported the show and kept it free. You guys are amazing. The program directors who carried the show, the radio show.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
which I get it, it's kind of nuts. I understand that not everybody handles a radio show like I do, and I'm sure it wasn't for everyone, but we handled it differently, and I really appreciate it. We got Miles here from Field of Greens, and I wanna just specifically call out Miles here. because Miles was my first sponsor. Miles and I have been friends for 10 years. There he is right there.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
See, look, I told you, he looks good too. He must be taking Field of Greens as well. This is Miles. You guys melted his website down the other day. He really wanted to do something special for you. Miles, thank you so much for your friendship throughout the years, brother. You were the first one to take a shot on us. And can you just acknowledge that Field of Greens was my idea? Thank you.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
Thank you. It was. I have no say in the game. I said, Miles, I'm taking this fruit vegetable. It tastes like crap. Can you make something taste better? He was like, brother, I have totally got you. That's how it started. And it turned out to be one of his best-selling products. We got John from Blackout here. He's been another great partner over there. Blackout, you know Blackout.
The Dan Bongino Show
See You On The Other Side (Ep. 2442)
I mean, obviously I've had, there's John right there. See, John looks good too. Him and Miles are in the same gym together working out. He's like, I just met him today. But the blackout coffee, you guys have been amazing. Thank you to everyone. And I'd say outside of my wife, someone I would be remiss if I didn't mention, Chris Pavlovsky from Rumble is here today with his son. And Chris, you...

Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
From the river to the sea. I mean, if you don't say the magic words and threaten someone's life, which would apply to a US citizen too, that is protected speech, period. And it should be defended, even if you don't agree with it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
The question is, the fact that it involves some degree of conduct on the university, private property, and elsewhere, and that some of the conduct may, there's not necessarily a direct link, but may involve the support of terrorism, Is it a conduct issue or a speech issue?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
This is one of those talk topics where, Evita, I don't have an easy answer yet, and I've applied, I hate to throw it out there, but the Bongino Rule, where, I want to see what comes out in this due process hearing. But second, this is where it gets complicated. If this is a U.S. citizen, it's a little bit more of a black and white case. It isn't. It is someone who is not a United States citizen.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
They have rights on U.S. soil as a legal permanent resident, okay, here on a green card. There's no question. But then you say, well, okay, well, he needs to go. Maybe. but maybe not, we haven't had the due process yet either.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
He's getting it, which is good, but this is one of those things, I encourage everyone, regardless of where you stand on the Israel, Palestine, Israel, Arab world issue, and the entire issue of the Middle East, I just encourage everyone to be deliberate, Wait for the facts. Don't get emotional. I know it's hard because this involves terrorism, life or death, believe me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
There's no more serious topic. But I encourage everyone to just think like an investigator and a spreadsheet. Let the facts develop. And in this due process hearing, if the government can show that there was some material support for terrorism, I don't care if you're a citizen or not, you've committed a crime. And I don't care if that's a white supremacist, a Nazi, an Islamic radical.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
It doesn't matter. You cannot... financially or physically support and take actions to support a group that commits to killing people in the name of terror. You just can't do it. It's a crime. It doesn't matter who you are.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Well, that's a very fair and adult question that You know, again, it's one of these things I think people always reflexively jump to an answer because that behavior is so repulsive that the reflexive answer is, well, we need to ban it, and the question then becomes, well, who gets to say what that is, okay?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Take the antisemitism component out of it, because it elicits so many emotional responses, you can't ever get to the spreadsheet. Say something to somebody who says, you know.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Yeah, say someone who comes out and says, I don't like people who are X, some, you know, group, whatever it may be, LGBTQIA, I don't, you know, I don't, Who gets to say, in other words, what's considered... say anti-Semitic or anti-gay or anti, once you start opening up this gray area, then you get to the disinformation paradox where two different people see two different things.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
And both of them can't be right. In other words, you get to like the, say the COVID issue, where going back to the vaccine where, you know, someone says, well, the vaccine's ineffective. And the government says, well, that's disinformation. And then, well, what's ineffective mean? Someone may say, ineffective, how? Show me a study.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Well, I'm gonna show you a study that says it doesn't prevent people from contracting COVID from someone else. Well, that person's probably correct if you look at the science. Or masks. Who gets to say what disinformation is? And this is why I'm such a free speech absolutist and why I don't reflexively answer these questions about people without getting the data in.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
If it's conduct, if it's in violation of the law, or a threat, I mean, Mahmoud Khalil, or anyone else, I don't care who it is, I'm not suggesting he said this, but it could be Paula. If someone comes out tomorrow and says, I want to kill this person, that's a crime. You're directly, immediately inciting violence. And if there's an immediacy component to it, that's different.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But the gray area of disinformation bothers me because you're always gonna get politicians who weaponize the term. And disinformation becomes any information you don't like.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
There's a great op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. It came out two days ago. And the gist of the piece is, Because America is an open society, and we have been. We've been very open to people. Whether you like that approach or not, it's a fact. The country was built by early Americans. There's no doubt about that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But my grandparent, Paula is an immigrant to the country, a first generation immigrant. My grandparents came here from Palermo, Sicily. Immigrants have played a vital role. Anyone from the Irish to the Italians to people who've come here from Spanish speaking countries and other places around the world as well. But because we're an open country, it's been said, who was it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
You know, I guess the stock company, you know, iPhoto answer you can buy offline is, you know, no, I didn't see it. But, I mean, I did. If I didn't have a vision, I wouldn't have done it. Now, did I know it was going to turn into, you know, what I hope to be an alternative to linear cable, like all-day programming, which is eventually my goal? No. But, you know, I felt like... I had a calling.

Was it Scalia who said it? None of this stuff is like a suicide pact either. We don't have to allow people into our treehouse who hate the place. And there's this op-ed in the Wall Street Journal where the guy's like, isn't this common sense? I mean, yes, once you're here, you have rights. That's it. Like, we have a constitution and there are four corners of it. Respect it no matter what.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
She has rights. And you can't just say, like, no, she doesn't because we don't like what she's saying. That's not the way... The constitution's not a suggestion is what I'm getting at. It's a hard stop sign, not a four-way stop sign no one pays attention to. You have got to follow the rules or else you have nothing. You have chaos and anarchy. However...
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
The rules also say you don't have those rights if you are not an American citizen. American citizen in Paris still has rights of an American citizen. A resident of Accra, Ghana, who comes over here, until they land on US soil, has no such rights. Matter of fact, even one of the exceptions to the search exception in the Constitution is at the border. You do not have those rights at the border.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Even you, when you come into the border, it is, we can search your vehicle. Wait, Fourth Amendment, not at the border. You don't even have American citizen rights. And we're letting people in, not obviously, not anywhere close to all, but a subset of people coming into the country who just hate the place. They hate everything about us.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
They love the first world living standards, but they hate the place. And that's the suicide pact that we've been warned against. The Constitution was never meant to be a suicide pact. Everything has four corners around it. Even our wonderful, amazing First Amendment. You can't threaten people's lives. You can't libel people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
I can't come out tomorrow and say, I have evidence Evita was born on Saturn. I can't do that. It's not true. I made it up. But I have the first amendment. Everything has restrictions on it because the Constitution was not meant to be a suicide pact. And this is what bothers me. And like with the protesters on campus, hey, listen, your viewpoint is protected. You hate Israel. You hate Netanyahu.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
You hate the IDF. the Shin Bet, the Mossad, you hate them. You are allowed to do that. But the question is, are you allowed to do it on a private college campus? If they say you are, it's their property, it's not mine, that's fine. But then, there's other questions. This is what I said, everything's nuanced. Are you allowed to stop Evita Duffy from walking in a classroom?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Because Evita has rights too. And the answer is, no, you're not. You are not allowed to physically contact Evita Duffy and say, you can't go in the classroom. You can't. So, you know, these are really nuanced questions that I think our audience, which you've seen, who's very deep, the Bongino Army are super smart, just read the chat.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
They understand that none of this stuff lends to easy answers, but when you talk it through like me and you were doing now, you're like, you know what? I think they're right. I do love the First Amendment, but the First Amendment, like any other right, doesn't allow you to impact on the civil big R rights of others either.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Yeah, we're not a salad bowl.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Why does our military work so well? And the answer is because when you go to boot camp, we specifically are absolutely not a salad bowl. You've got, say, an immigrant from India...
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
who maybe grew up speaking Hindi or something, but now has learned English and is a US citizen, who says, I'm going to serve in the United States Marine Corps, next to a guy who may be white, whose parents immigrated from Ireland, say, 100 years ago, or grandparents, whatever it may be, great grandparents came over, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Obviously, I've failed at a lot in life. I didn't ran for office. It didn't work out. But that's where the podcast came from. I think, as I wrote in that last book, You know, your failures shouldn't define you. And there were things I just, I didn't get into medical school, so I went to business school.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
And the whole idea is we are not going to recognize superficial differences that mean nothing. You are part of one cohesive team. That's why the military is so damn effective before we started to break it up with this DEI stuff. So I find that ridiculously patently offensive, and I think that's why the woke left and the DEI people want you to focus relentlessly on all of our differences.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But to get to your question about the Catholic Church, because I'm part of it, I love it, I worship there. You and I feel the same way about Jesus and faith. You don't have Jesus and faith. You're just in a dark forest. You just are. You're sitting around looking for answers. The answer is right in front of you. It's right there. But God gave us a world of scarce resources.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
There is a world without scarce resources. It's the second creation, which we call heaven in the Catholic faith. There's no scarce resources there. This is the test, okay? You're buying your movie ticket into the second creation. And through that, God gave you a complex problem to solve. The first problem we already discussed, so this was kind of an unintentional segue, but is suffering.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
How do you navigate the balance? God doesn't want you to suffer all the time. He wants you to enjoy happiness. But he doesn't want you to live your life in the pure pursuit of happiness. I don't care what anyone tells you. There's going to be suffering. But secondly, he gave you a world of scarce resources where there are no easy answers.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
So anyone telling you, well, the Catholic faith, we have to take care of everyone all the time. Really? Resources are scarce. The expense of my own kids? So just to be clear, you're telling me that those closest to me with my DNA, who I would do anything for, I would kill for in a second, if I had to, I would.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
You're telling me, right, that I should, right, right, in a second, that I should forfeit the resources I've accumulated. I'm not talking about charity. I mean, we give and do, I'm not talking about that. I mean, you're saying that as a country, because not everybody's been blessed as much as they have. Some people are really struggling.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
You should forfeit those resources away for your nuclear family to take care of someone you have no idea. And you're saying God said to do that? God said be charitable. absolutely be kind, be nice to everyone. If you have extra resources, donate them, give them away. Give them away in a responsible way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
So after I lost this run for office, I was reading this article about podcasting, how kids weren't, this is in 2014 I'm reading this article, how young people, I shouldn't say kids, who were driving weren't listening to car radio anymore, that they were listening to Bluetooth. And they said podcasting will be the future. And, of course, it was named after the iPod. That's where podcast comes from.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But we should just endlessly take in groups of people at the expense of our own citizens and our own laws? That's so incredibly naive. I'm really convinced you never actually read the Bible. You think you read the Bible, but you didn't read the Bible. You completely missed the context of it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
He is, and... I think the infallibility of the Pope argument is frequently misinterpreted by people who haven't read it. He's just wrong.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
He's just incorrect on this. The irony of what you just said, where Vice President Vance is totally on it, The point JD is trying to make is when we build a solid core of nuclear family home units it's almost like there's a the positive externality that comes from that is the I don't wanna talk in lofty terms, but the energy is infectious.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
When you have a, it's simple, let's do the inverse, it's easier to understand. I wish it weren't, but it is. You get a family full of fatherless homes in a broken neighborhood, what do you have? Every single time, every time, crime, destruction, property damage, economic loss, no tax base, low property values. The correlation is 100%. Then you see other neighborhoods.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Middle class, upper middle class neighborhoods, two parents, good job. Maybe one stay-at-home parent around the children. Good, decent schools. The correlation is almost perfect. So the irony is when you take care of what's closest to you, like them or not, Jordan Peterson says all the time, Just make your own bed. Make your own bed first. When you make your own bed, the whole house looks better.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But when everybody's focused on everyone else's room, no one's focused on their own, and the whole house is a hole. It's a mess. So that's just a completely ridiculous approach. I could not disagree with Pope Francis more on that. Take care of family first, make your bed. Then you know what, when everything's good at home, you have extra resources, community, local.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Then when you have some extra resources, maybe find a group, I don't know, like Folds of Honor I like, they take care of, military, you know, people who lost their parents and take care of scholarships. But then you branch out. It's the principle of subsidiarity, which is a religious faith-based principle, but applies to economics and government too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
And I thought I should start one of those. And I kind of knew within the first couple weeks, I said, this is really, this is interesting. Like you can talk and you can talk about whatever you want. And we didn't have a sponsor for about three, four years, but I knew the show was going to be good.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
The closest impact you can ever make are the people closest to you. As you start to think about other things and get away from local, the irony is you destroy the other things and the local.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Look at this guy. He's like, cut. He's like, get out of there. We got producer Jim here, too. He's kind of laughing in the background.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
That's just a Guy and Michael thing.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Silverlock, so that is the new media company going forward. And luckily, Paula's been so deeply involved in the business for years that it's kind of a natural segue. But the idea of Silverlock is to build a credible, long-term alternative to pay models. I want a free service available on Rumble, which is free. I mean, premium is an option, of course, but you don't have to.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
And I want people to be able to have programming all day. You were the first. This was an experiment that could have gone awry. I knew it wouldn't. I knew it. I saw you and I was like, we need to grab her. She's fantastic. But you've been a huge success, a major launch.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
We just brought in Haley, Vince, and eventually by the time Silverlock is done, Paula has this vision now of building out more talent and giving people just an all-day alternative.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Oh, well, yeah, I mean, we'll never, and you and I have chatted frequently about, because I just haven't done this for a long time. I feel like sometimes there's a better way to make an argument and the only reason I say that is because I've screwed it up. I mean, after 10 years, there's not a single topic out there I think I haven't discussed and there is sometimes I say to myself,
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
I knew it because I knew God had called me for something different despite falling down a couple of times. But did I expect it was going to turn into this and your show blowing up? I mean, you were, I sent you that thing at show prep this morning. Did you see that? You were a top 50 live stream yesterday on Bongino Report. Did I expect this to happen? No. So it's kind of a yes or no answer.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
I wish I would have said that differently, you know, not because I believe differently. I just think I could have been more persuasive in the argument. But whatever your arguments are, I mean, you know, you and I don't agree on everything. I'm like, you knock them dead. And I've got, you know, just like people complain about, you know, my show sometimes. I don't like what you said about that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
I get people go, Dan, you and Evita don't think the same way about X issue. Well, that's the point. What do you think I want? I don't want a, you know, a clone. I wasn't looking for Dolly the sheep. I was looking for someone who's a powerful and I wanted a younger voice. I mean, I'm 50, you know, it's important that, that, it's tautological to say the young people are the next generation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
They just are. It's a math problem. I don't know what it's like to be 20. I'm 50. I knew what it was like to be 20, you know, 30 years ago. So that's why we brought you and Haley on, and some of the other talent will be, you know, have different perspectives as well, but that's the long-term vision.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Well, I know you and I share a common belief in the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and If you believe in Jesus and you're missing the meaning of suffering, you really miss the meaning. Jesus didn't have to sit there and have nails driven into his wrists. He certainly didn't have to. He's God. You could say, you know what? I'm not doing this today. I just don't feel like it. He's God.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
He's omnipotent. He's omniscient. So there was a lesson there. And there's a book, The Natural, there's a movie too, but I've quoted it off in my audience, probably heard it before, Bernard Malamud. It's about baseball, but the book's actually really good. So is the movie, but in the book, there's the line, you know, that we all live two lives, the one we learn from and the one we live after that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
And that the real path to happiness is through suffering. And that's what I was trying to explain in that Tucker interview. I remember that answer well. It said that you have... I hate stupid cliches like, oh, you know, don't worry, be happy, like the Bobby McFerrin song. Me too. No, no, worry. And don't always be happy. Because I can be happy. There's crack.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Oh, that makes you happy for 15 minutes. It does. I mean, you can look at the dopamine. People love it. People can throw their whole lives away. You have alcohol, people can't stop drinking. You have people out there who smoke nicotine. Hey, it's going to kill you, but it makes me happy. So don't worry, be happy. No, don't be happy.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
The irony is you will be happiest when you say, don't worry, suffer. When you choose deliberate suffering, working extra hours, putting in hours in the morning in the gym, even silly things. Like I talk about the cold plunge, and people may laugh. You know what, jumping in 45 degree water in the morning really sucks at 5.30 in the morning.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But you know what, it's good for my body and I need it, so I do it, and it sucks. And you know, going to your kid's game after a long day of work when you're tired, you could go home and eat popcorn and watch Whatever some crappy movie on Netflix, but that's not being a dad. That's being a loser So yeah, you happy watching your Netflix like a fat ass eating your popcorn.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Yeah, you're happy You know, I mean you guys know you think your dad was happy commuting from Wisconsin That's not a one-way flight. That's not an easy flight. He was a congressman for multiple terms You think that was like happy joy joy time? I mean dealing with a lot of these people in DC and I think the lesson is is
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
and I'm sorry, but I'll wrap it up here, is if you seek suffering, you'll be the happiest. If you seek happiness, you're gonna suffer. That is the greatest irony of life. Jesus taught us the lesson in the Bible, and even if you're not a Christian, Even if you're not, I like, I love Jesus and that's my religion, may not be yours.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But you look at the world's great religions, which millions of people follow, every single one of them has the same lesson. You have got to suffer to reach salvation. It's not, you're never gonna reach salvation seeking happiness all the time. It's embarrassingly, it's an embarrassingly bad approach to life.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
And that's why when that call came in for this, just like when it came in for your dad, who had a great job up at Fox. I know, I talk to your dad all the time, we're good friends. The answer was yes. There's not even a second thought. Do it. That's the answer, even if it involves some temporary sacrifice.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
But haven't you seen in your life? I mean, you were in University of Chicago, right? With the vaccine thing. Yeah. You could have just taken it, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
I mean, you would have caused yourself probably some issues, but you could have saved yourself a lot of headaches, correct?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Yeah. Well, and I bring that up, you know, specifically because there's nothing like, listen, you've been around this business a long time. You know, obviously your parents are involved. What do we call it? The content creation business, the talking head. I don't care what you call it, but you've been around this business a long time. And I see it. There were so many really amazing people.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Mark Levins, Hannity's always been there for me. Glenn Beck, early in the days, gave me my start. And these guys have just been incredible. But you know there are a lot of fakes and phonies out there. And they pretend like they're above it all. And they make mistakes. I bring that story up for a reason. I'm one of these guys who highlights my mistakes all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
That was a decision I had to make. at the time. It's one of my greatest regrets. I never felt the same after it, after I took it, but I had no, I could not get these cancer treatments without it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Yeah, I was, but, you know, still to this day, like, I see some of the, you know, I'm only human. I read criticism about me, too. I see it. It's hard to avoid because, you know, we micro-target on Twitter, so I see my name creep up, and when people say, well, that was dumb, and I'm like, you know what? I You weren't in my situation, but I can't disagree with the decision.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Like, maybe I should have... I had to get that treatment at that place, and maybe I could have made that decision a little differently. I mean, I try to rethink these things all the time, and I think one of the reasons you and Haley, I mean, we picked you guys for a reason, have succeeded on this specific network, is I know this audience watching right now, you guys.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
The Bongino Army. They absolutely crave authenticity. You know, they don't want fakes and phonies. Like, oh, you know what? I had some special scientific reason. No, I didn't. I just wanted to live. Like, that was it. And maybe I could have rethought it. But I'm authentic when I tell you that I make mistakes too, man. I wrote a whole book about it. You want to read all the things I screwed up?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Wow. This better be a really good interview. The audience is going to be really good. You know what? That was quite an intro.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Because there are a lot of them. I advertised it in a book just to let people know. There's nothing special about me. My lodestar is this, and I know where I'm going. But I fall off the path all the time. It happens all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
You win. I'm not doing no 33. I keep it at, what is it, 46, 47? I keep it at 45, but it usually goes up to 47 because it's going to cool it down.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
No, no, 33, I'm suffering. I'm not suffering. Here, let me show some authentic side. I ain't suffering that much. I forget what I said about suffering. I'm just kidding. I ain't going down to no 33. No, not a chance in Hades.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Bring Michael in with you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Justin, get that video and stick it in their show and they don't know about it. That would be fantastic. That show would go nuclear. Watching these two freeze their butts off. 33 degrees. That's insane. No way.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
I wish. But it's Florida. And Michael knows there are not many lakes with 33 degree water. Right, Justin? Justin, have you ever seen a lake in Florida with 30? No, never. Justin hasn't seen a lake in Florida with less than 80 degree water at all. He's been down here. Justin has Florida seniority over all of us. So we're all kind of I think I've been here 10 years. He's been here his whole life.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Well, it was weird, right? Because we were in this small studio. There's nowhere to go. So you have to like genuflect and you got to move over and I got to steal the mic from you. It just didn't work. Now we're in this big studio. So look at this. I'm just learning this now. So that's my camera. We got the two shot. Evita's got her camera over here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
So he's sick. So, yeah, he's got the Florida seniority.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Listen, this is one of those topics on a political talk radio show that's... There's something for everyone. I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way. I just mean that if you really want to do a talk show, you don't avoid topics like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
If you want to be one of these kind of wuss guys who doesn't want to offend anyone, you avoid a topic because you're like, there's nothing I'm going to say that's going to make everyone happy. I don't care. I'm honestly not here to make people happy. I'm here to make them interested and feel like, wow, this isn't as simple as I thought. So with the Khalil case,
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
You have this weird situation where he is not a U.S. citizen, but is an LPR, legal permanent resident, via green card. He has a wife here, and the wife happens to be eight months pregnant. I am obviously an anti-Hamas activist. Most anti-Hamas man I've ever met. Yes, I am. He wins the award. Thank you.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
If there's an anti-Hamas, I don't like terrorists award, then that would be an honor of a lifetime to accept it. But here's the thing. Okay, so let's go with angle number one. Some people have said it's a free speech case. If anyone's gonna lecture me on free speech after what I've been through in my, I mean, I'm not even gonna bore you guys with the details.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
The amount of suffering my wife and I have taken on defending people who say things I don't like, there are people on a platform I've invested in who go on the platform and insult me all the time. One guy threatened me on the platform. We have never, ever, ever, ever considered like, oh, well, he needs to go. It's not about me.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
We only had two cameras in the other studio and one of them was at this awkward angle. So this has worked out perfect. I'm glad we're still working on your set. Evita's set's right over there. We're tinkering with the lighting over there. But you like it so far, getting out of the... My favorite part is this side shot.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
It's about his ability to speak out, even when it hurts, actually, or could hurt. I said, leave it. Leave it. We're not touching anything. And, you know, we're not doing anything with it. So the free speech bona fides are there. But it's not a simple free speech question because it's not. It's not black or white. There's a lot of on the margin here. Does this involve conduct and actions as well?
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino’s Last Interview (Early Edition With Evita)
Because that's different. I can say all I want. I support, I don't like Israel. I don't like Benjamin. I'm going to say that's obviously not my opinion, but I don't like the Netanyahu. I hate the Israeli government. Israel has no right to exist in that territory. They haven't been there. That's historical Palestine. You can have all the opinions you want. From the river to the sea.

The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
The reason public opinion has turned against this and your prescriptions for a prolonged war with Russia, American troops on the ground or more American involvement is because you can never explain what the objective is, number one, and you speak hyperbolically all the time and exaggerate our position. Nobody's surrendering anything. Secretary Hegseth,
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
through Donald Trump, is laying out a common sense position. This is your region of the world. You guys better do something to fix it. If you do, it will help, but we're not putting our troops on the ground, and we're certainly not going to invoke Article 5, where this attack on a NATO country means we have to get involved in a global world war. Anyone disagree with that? I don't understand.
The Dan Bongino Show

Make your case in the chat. Love to hear it. Folks, it's a sensitive thing with me, man. I'm sorry. I was not in our military. I wish I was. It's the greatest regret of my life. It's the ultimate way to serve your fellow citizen. And it's a regret. I'm not going to spin your wheels. I wanted to do it. No excuses, right? But we lost my uncle, Greg, in Vietnam.

I discussed it a few times on the show. And my family was never the same, ever. Died before I was born. You could never, ever mention my uncle's name around my grandmother to the day she died. She couldn't take it. And I'm talking 20, 30, 40 years later. She could never, ever hear his name. I'm not telling you that we don't need to be involved anywhere in the world ever.

This whole crap about withholding funds and these people aren't elected, Tulsi Gabbard's not elected. Neither was Bobby Kennedy. The government functions because they elected Donald Trump.

Folks, again, what we keep talking about is the liberals in their post-truth world. They make stuff up. I want you to understand that you are better than them.

The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
I mean better in that the MAGA movement is bedrocked in real conversations that are hard to have. It is really difficult to have a conversation about Ukraine where you have to say, yes, Ukraine did not deserve this invasion. Yes, I wish Vladimir Putin would leave the Ukrainians alone and let them live in peace.

You see how every single thing they tell you is a lie? You can't establish the doge by executive order to look into USAID. Dumbass, USAID was founded by executive order. There was later legislation, no doubt. But there's no disputing the fact that USAID, what Victor Davis Hanson just said, was established by executive order. It's a... Nothing they tell you is real.

Are you a liberal watching this show who just learned that for the first time? What's your comeback to that? I'm serious. What's your comeback? You don't have one. You're just making it up. Well, Dan, if Congress passes a bill and... You have to spend money at USAID. Trump assuredly can't delay those funds to make sure they're not fraudulent. Really? Interesting.

He gives a fascinating example about the wall. I'll throw another one your way. You know, when the liberals got their little green new boondoggle shit past the Inflation Production Act and all this other crap, the CHIPS Act and all that other stuff, do you know what Joe Biden did? Joe Biden was told, you guys have to spend this money in the White House, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
So Joe Biden and his executive agencies, not elected, people he appointed, delayed a lot of the Inflation Reduction Act, Green New Deal type crap. You know why? Some of these... electric charging stations that they were going to build. Remember, they built like eight of them for a billion dollars. Here's the dirty little secret.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
One of the reasons they built almost none of these things, despite billions of dollars, is they wanted to make sure that they paid off a lot of union things with a lot of these project agreements. Also, they wanted to make sure that DEI training and all this other crap was built in. And most of these companies couldn't do it. So Biden delayed the funds.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Wait, isn't Trump just delaying the spending of these funds? Yes. So he's doing the same thing. Yes. But when Trump does it, it's illegal. That's the left's dumb argument. When Biden does it, what? He's a freaking hero. Should be beatified. Make him St. Biden. You know how dumb you got to be to fall for this crap all the time? Is there any talking point you have that makes sense?

The Doge isn't elected. Really? Was Merrick Garland elected? I don't remember that election. What was he running with? Vanu Lanu? Was it Garland Lanu 2020? I don't remember that. So Merrick Garland had no power. Oh, no, he did because he was appointed by the president who appoints the attorney general. Kind of like the president picked the Doge to do. You know, we love this guy in CNN.

I'm always a little skeptical of these net worth figures because the ones about mine online are really off, and it's so easy to figure out if you just go to, like, the publicly traded companies. However, I think we can both agree it's worth a lot of money. Mitch McConnell says his annual salary, $200 million. Net worth, $95 million. Chuck Schumer, $75 million. Elizabeth Warren, $67 million.

That's why government likes to expand regulations and rules because it's more rules you have to obey that they have to, when you go to them, you're going to have to ask them, am I following the rules by building this building?

Now, of course, this is great. Very nice, guys. That FAFO thing is all them. The FOing continues. Why? The media's hair's on fire, of course, accusing Donald Trump of starting a trade war.

I could mention names, but I prefer not to engage in Republican on Republican political violence right now because there's so much stupidity on the Democrat side. Here's what I'm talking about.

I want you to listen to what she says. Put aside. I know you're going to laugh in advance because it's but pretend this is a serious person for a second. She's making the case here or attempting to that we should not have people with a tech background go in and analyze the government's technology. Because like, why?

So you don't want technology people to come in and actually observe the technology used to pay out $7 trillion of government spending. You guys work here, right?

The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Folks, we have like, seriously, like four or five people that work here. That's it. We're not spending $7 trillion.

And this dipwad wants to make the case that we can't have tech people analyze the tech? I will never forget my first few days being an agent. I had left the NYPD, which had its own technology problem, of course, you know, government. And we had these things called TNAs, time in attendance records. TNA can mean a lot. This is not an Eric Swalwell segment. It was time in attendance.

We had these TNA things. You'd fill them out and we would punch them in this computer on this program called Smartware or something. And I went home to Paula, who was my girlfriend at the time. And she was a database developer. And I said, do you know what smartware is? She's like, isn't that from like the 70s or something? I go, yeah, we use it in the secret service. She laughed.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
She couldn't believe it. She was like, why? I'm like, because it's the government. That's why. But Jasmine Crockett does not want actual tech people going in there. Why? Put up that thing again about the net worth. Because, folks, there are a lot of really stupid people getting really rich off government payouts, the gravy train, the influence operation.

Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
And the reason they don't want you picking up the rock and saying, hey, man, let me look under this and see what's living under there is because they know when you see that the government bookkeeper is corrupted and stealing money that you're never going to trust the bookkeeper again.

Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
I kind of just told you what they are in a backwards way. They are taxes. Republicans hate taxes. Conservatives hate taxes. Dan, why are you supporting tariffs? I'm not. And neither is Donald Trump there, if you listen to what he just said. Donald Trump uses tariffs as a weapon. If you don't understand that, I'm serious. This show is not for you. You may want to depart. It's not an airport.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Because the doge would clean up fraud and it would be eventually when they get back in power, more money for them, right? Like if you're a criminal and you have mob bosses fight all the time, it's not that they're objecting to mob behavior. They're the mob too. It's like they don't want the mob taking their money. Fair question, correct?
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Why would government people getting rich off government not want at least some fraud being detected so that it's more money for them? And the reason is what I just told you. Once people see, possibly for the first time, with this dynamic duo, like the Wild Samoans from the old WWF of Trump and Elon, how bad the government has been spending your money,
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
What do you think is going to happen with Social Security recipients who were told in 10 years, hey, we can't afford to pay you your full payout anymore? You get it now? You see what's going on? You got people on Social Security their entire life who busted their ass. Listen, folks, the program was designed poorly. Put that aside a second.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
The program was designed poorly, but you have people who busted their ass their entire lives. You got a guy who worked in a coal mine for 30 years, probably got black lung. He finally retires. Maybe he enjoys five years of retirement. Maybe he sees it goes on a vacation once in a while. Busted his ass. He paid into this crap broken system forever. And all the money's gone.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
They're going broke in 10 years. Don't take it from me. Read the Social Security Actuary's own report. You see why they're so afraid now of turning the rock over? There will be a freaking revolt in this country of seniors and Medicare recipients when they find out that trillions of dollars over decades were wasted on fraud, scumbag schemes, mob tactics, and all this other crap.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
So they'd rather just make the whole thing go Don't ever forget, folks, it's the same. Sorry, I know I got a lot to get to, but I love this government stuff, like cracking the whole government code for you. There's a reason the adage in DC, a program for the poor is a poor program, is real too. Why do people who are really rich, why do they need social security?
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
I'm talking about really rich folks. I'm not talking about people who even make a millionaire. I'm talking about people who make like 10 million a year. You ever wonder that? You don't need it. You leave that as a tip in a restaurant. Why do even liberals, think about this. I'm going to give you a second. Some of you in the chat may have heard this before. You may know this.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Why do liberals themselves even fight for the fact that rich people should get Social Security? The reason is a program for the poor is a poor program. Why? Because they know rich people. You ever hear this, Michael? They know rich people have a lot of influence in Congress and they know that they will fight to keep the program alive as long as they get to dip into the pot, too.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
You don't have to announce it. I'm just saying it's not for you. He has repeatedly done this. He understands that tariffs are taxes, okay? Those taxes already exist on United States exports. In other words, if Johnny Bag of Donuts in Iowa is selling milk to Canada and they import milk from us and they tariff it, then that milk, U.S. milk, is more expensive due to the tax.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
They don't give a shit if the program goes bankrupt. All they care about is that they control the money. Man, I've been studying this stuff forever. The best time I had in my prior line of work was not on presidential protection. It wasn't. Matter of fact, that was the most tedious thing I did. It was financial fraud investigations.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
When you find out, back in the day, they used to send treasury checks out. We called them T-check investigations. Do you have any idea how many of these things were stolen? The wire transfers existed since like Western Union. And the government's like, nope, we're going to send paper checks. Do you have any idea how many were stolen? Folks, Them, the freak out by the left over the Doge.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
I'm sorry if I got, did I get too off topic there, Michael? The program for the poor is a poor program and the fraud segment's important. They are going to die on this hill over Elon Musk, I promise you. Because you are going to be stunned at what's there. And they're going to lie right to your face. Look at this New York Times headline. I mean, this headline is so obscene that...
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
I mean, someone should be arrested for headline malpractice in this one. Musk asserts without proof that he's... Musk asserts without proof, folks, that he's fixing a bureaucracy rife with fraud. How long did it take you guys? These guys put this segment together. How long did it take you to find the fraud? Seriously. Seriously. Come on. A minute?
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
So, Elon Musk, the New York Times is stating, this is supposedly the paper of record, the old gray lady, They're saying there's no proof our bureaucracy government is rife with fraud. Michael says a half a second. I'm going to say it took him a minute. This is what they found. Throw it up on the screen. Keep in mind, we're not professional researchers or anything. We run an opinion show.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
We don't have access to the Library of Congress or whatever. Here we go. Michael Schellenberger. The New York Times says there's no proof of fraud in government. Seriously? The GAO under... Does that say under Biden? Oh my gosh, look, it does. Seriously, the GAO, Government Accounting Office, under Joe Biden, estimated last year that we're losing $233 to $521 billion per year to fraud.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Schellenberger notes in New York Times, guys, it's right there. Why do you continue this? Shaking my head. So, Michael, once you found this, how long did it take you to find the GAO report? No time at all. Almost the absence of time whatsoever. We can get into that whole thing later, like if we were living in a simulation. This is crazy. Here it is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Here's the actual GAO fraud risk management report, where, quote, GAO estimated total direct annual financial losses to the government from fraud, someone read this to the New York times to be between two 33 and 521 billion based on data, government data from fiscal years, 2018 through 2022. Who was the president for a couple of years?

You're better than them. Okay. you're better than them. Your information is better. You're sharper. You're more focused. Your arguments are better. They live in a post-truth world. Always keep the third-party debating theory in your mind, though. You're not wasting your time.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
I know you're pointing this stuff out to liberals on X, and they're like, oh, my God, the GAO, their favorite line is, you're taking it out of context. No, I'm not. It says that's the fraud. You can read it yourself, dipshits, but you won't on the left. There is a third-party listening. This is how you slowly move the Overton window in public opinion.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
So what Donald Trump is saying is if you're going to tax our stuff, we're going to tax your milk or whatever it is when it comes down south from Canada to the United States until you get rid of the tariff. That's what he means by reciprocal tariffs.

You keep hammering away over and over and over. That's why Carolyn Leavitt, who's been doing an amazing job as the press secretary, can't compliment her in... in enough modifiers and adjectives. She's been doing an incredible job. Here she is yesterday.

Lee Zeldin, our new EPA administrator, just canceled a $50 million Biden-era environmental justice grant to the Climate Justice Initiative. This Doge account is amazing. Michael loves it.

If your argument on the left is we piss away so much money, $50 million doesn't matter, here's a pro tip, assholes. That's not an argument. What is it, doge.gov? You're making our argument, not yours. Do you understand that? You going out in front of the cameras saying, USAID, it's only $40 billion. Do you understand how you sound to a coal miner in Kentucky? $40 billion?
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
That's bigger than the entire state budget of probably a fifth of the United States. Maybe more. Understand how dumb you sound? Folks, you're the media now. You're the MAGA influence army. You know, years ago with Cronkite and Brokaw, pre-Fox, pre-Rush, They own the media. They just did. Because if you didn't hear about it on the nightly news, it didn't happen.

You did not know about a OPM mine in a place where they were running government retirement, like an actual mine where they were doing things by hand, because Cronkite and Brokaw wouldn't run with those stories if it made a Republican look good for uncovering the scandal. I bring that up because that's all gone now. Information exchange has been completely democratized.

How Twitter, X, True Social, Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, all of this stuff has enabled us to connect and exchange information at light speed and make new friends and learn new things. We are the media now. We decide what the story is. And Elon's got the biggest mouthpiece of all. Well, second biggest.

I don't want to beat this thing to death again, hit you with an economic segment at the beginning of the show, but it's just, again, incredible how many left-wing progressive lunatics don't even understand what Trump is saying and reflexively hate it. The left, we love taxes. Well, why don't you like tariffs? Because Donald Trump said it. Tariffs are going to make stuff more expensive.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Trump has the White House. That's the biggest megaphone. But Elon has X. And that's how you learned about this, the infamous retirement mine. Now I can figure out finally why it took me so long to resign from the Secret Service. A retirement mine? This is a real story. Check this out.

Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Now, I know if you're a liberal, you're probably listening to that and going, Well, you know, government can have some kind of issues here and there, but that's not a real story, the mine. Actually, look, it is. Thibault Spurlin, which may be the most amazing name I've ever heard. I wonder if that's real. Is that a nom de plume? The federal paperwork mine in Doge's Crosshairs is real and bizarre.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Thank you, Thibault. This is a great article. It said that more than 700 employees work 230 feet underground. Oh, look, there's little photos. To process 10,000 employee retirement accounts?

And again, watching the hyperventilating banshees on the left freak out as Donald Trump says something yesterday in the Oval Office, so common sense that if anyone else would say it, the media would celebrate it, is a perfect example of why this is the home for news, why the left-wing media is the home for comedy. I'll tell you what I mean coming up in a minute. And big news. Big news about mags.

That'd be freaking weird and stuff. We don't need that. Just send us a P.O. box, whatever it may be. We will send you that bronze medal right over your way. Congratulations, Margaret.

The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
Like, oh, I'm a libertarian. Oh, I'm a conservative. Oh, I'm an old school Republican. I'm a MAGA guy. Because the boxes tend to limit. Well, what if you have some libertarian tendencies? Thank you, Jake. But you have conservative, old school conservative tendencies. I don't like boxes.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
But it's only fair if you were to ask me kind of like, I said the other day on the radio show, gun to my head, what are you? I'd say I'm kind of a conservatarian, right? I have a strong libertarian tendencies when it comes to our military because I read Fox Connors' Simple Rules of War a long time ago, which I mention often.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
And I'm really stunned more people don't apply them because they're very simple. Fox Conner was a famous military man. Eisenhower followed him. Never go to war for long. Never go to war alone. And never go to war unless you absolutely have to. Again, I understand it's a dramatic kind of oversimplification of what war is at times. But that general skeleton you can build a lot on.

What I really can't stand is when people who are elected politicians who may be subjected to the military industrial complex's lobbying efforts. I'm not knocking a defense industry. I'm just saying they send our kids off to war for wars they wouldn't be willing to fight themselves. And if it was their kids, they would definitely say no because they don't have an endgame.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
I say that because Donald Trump does the same thing. He keeps asking this question about the use of U.S. military assets overseas. He asks a very simple question. You know what it is? Anyone in the chat know? Why? Why are we there? I said to you yesterday on the show that people love to kind of glorify human beings when they say things like, oh, I just want to hear the truth.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
People don't want to hear the truth. You know what the truth is? The world is a really complicated place full of a lot of evil men and dictators and fascists and socialists and crazy people, and we are not going to fix every problem. I know that sucks, but it is what it is.

There is a geopolitical problem over there on the other side of the world where Ukraine shares a border with a country called Russia that is extremely powerful militarily and has a significant nuclear payload.

The United States, everyone who keeps talking, nobody has a solution for what to do without starting a nuclear war. So what does Donald Trump say?

come back with your shield or on it. And the theory was that the Spartan warrior, if they fled, which was considered obviously cowardly to flee from the lines of combat, they would throw their shield because it was heavy. So if you didn't come back with your shield, they knew you were a coward.
The Dan Bongino Show
Deranged Libs Go All In For Ukraine War and Govt. Corruption (Ep. 2423)
And when they say come back with your shield or on it, if you died in combat heroically, they would bring you back on your shield. It's a skin in the game point. You know, Nassim Taleb, who you may agree with or not, but wrote a book about skin in the game.

And it's really stunning to listen to all of these people who for generations have been wrong about wars all over the world speak about the next one as if they have a history of success to speak from.

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I'm glad you guys put that in there, even though we've seen it, folks. Don't you agree? You can't see that one enough. All right, let's see what we got next.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
We got to hit that timer, bring that one up. I'm going to take care of this.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Now, on the political tactics front. This, again, genius. Look at this guy. You believe this guy flipping the fries?
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
In a suit. In a suit. This is Trump, of course, if you listen on Spotify or Apple. And the Mickey D's. He's like, this is the best fry flipping I've ever seen.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I only laugh because... I'm going to tell you something. There are a few politicians who, this actually, I promise I did not know the clips. Again, I'm not making this up. This segues so beautifully from the Tim Walls segment where don't make yourself look stupid in public. Being able to avoid looking stupid in public and having the je ne sais quoi, right? Charisma.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Nobody knows what it is, but you know what I'm saying? Do you know when you, if I'm going out the next time you, You ever see like a guy or woman walks in the room? You've never met this person at all. It's a crowded room and everybody turns their attention. And I'm not talking about the beauty alone. I'm just talking about the shoulders are back. The chest is out.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Everybody seems to be staring at this person. You get an air of power from this person. That's Trump. So whereas Tim Walz can't even shoot his own gun, Donald Trump can walk into a McDonald's in a suit, put an apron on, flip in fries, and look more manly than Tim Walz in his hunting garb out there trying to fake hunt with a gun he doesn't know how to use. He claims it's his own.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
You see the difference? If you flip that around, Tim Walz looks like an idiot at McDonald's, and you put Donald Trump out there hunting, Donald Trump doesn't know how to work the gun. He'll be like, what kind of bullshit gun is this? You get what I'm saying? Okay, okay, I know you guys get some other good stuff. Does that make sense? That's the je ne sais quoi.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Hey, we're all feeling pretty good about where the country's headed now, but I'm concerned. You don't want to let your guard down. That is when emergencies happen or emergencies because you didn't see him coming. Okay. Don't get caught. Have these emergency products you need because you better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
It's called the je ne sais quoi because nobody knows why they have it. The people who have it just have it. I wish I could bottle it. I'd be stupid rich.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
And I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Perfect. This is Trump in a garbage truck after Joe Biden called MAGA supporters, of course, garbage. Many of you remember that. This is how Trump decides to go out there. And we recommend it. I'm not saying they heard it from us. A thousand people were saying, but what did we say?
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Like, if Donald Trump doesn't get out there in a sanitation truck tomorrow, I didn't even think of the vest, by the way, and go out there in a truck, is this a missed political opportunity like you've never seen? The sanitation vest is the perfect example. What does he say coming out? Do you remember that part? Again, we didn't plan this.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
He's like, hey, before I was coming out, they told me to put on the sanitation vest, and I didn't really think it was a good idea. I thought I'd look silly, but you know what? And here's what he's saying in his head. Language alert. He's saying... Fuck that, motherfucker. I'm Donald Trump. I'll put on whatever the hell I want. I'll make it happen. That's how he is. That's how he is.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
He just has freaking basketballs down there. He just does. And that's why he can make that work. Whereas if Kamala Harris or someone else came out in a sanitation vest, they would look like idiots every single time. Perfect segue there. Totally, completely unintentional. A Biden blunder bonanza. Hard to pick a few, but these were our favorites. All right, let's see what your favorites were.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I remember guys, we were doing that live and that was one of the moments we all looked at each other on the debates when we were doing the live debate coverage because we were trying to shut up and not say too much. We were just trying to let the debate play out so we'd interrupt. But that was one of the moments we all looked at each other and we were like, this guy's campaign is over.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
We had we called it. Go back and listen to the sense, you know, proven bona fides. You can listen to yourself. We called it. We told you this guy was not going to be the nominee. I think it was that moment. And when Trump said to him, when he said, listen, man, I don't even know what this guy just said. That was it.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
That was the official end of Joe Biden's campaign, because probably 30 plus million people were watching that, probably another 50 million on clips who realized that. Everything we had said about this guy's cognitive function and brain not working was absolutely correct. He just couldn't put together a string together a series of sentences. You saw it yourself. Yeah, that was a good one.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I actually forgot about that moment in the debate. Let's see what else you got. Confused on stage. Confused one direction, the other direction, looks back. So again, if you listen on Spotify or Apple, Biden's on stage. He goes one way, goes the other way, salutes someone who's there or may not be there. We don't even know what he's, maybe he sees phantasms.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Maybe it's like the Amityville horror thing. Nobody knows. He walks off. Now, why is this clip important? This is something I don't have a lot of experience in a lot of things, but I definitely know how logistics of a presidential visit work. I've told you guys well over 500 times that in events like this, the president is given a tick tock and basically footsteps.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
In other words, here is exactly what you're going to do. When I say exactly, I mean exactly. You, it'll say POTUS, walks on stage from stage right, stage left, doesn't matter. You follow footsteps on stage. You exit stage left, work rope line. You, and not only that, there's someone guiding him.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
If you're the president of the United States and you don't know where to go after your speech is over and you were told this 15 minutes prior with notes in front of you, then, folks, this guy's cognitive disorder is probably so farther along advanced than we can possibly imagine. This guy's in real trouble. I've been there. You never see stuff like this.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I challenge you, go look at Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, make it a bipartisan thing. Go back and sit there and scroll on a video platform all day and see how many times they were confused getting off stage. I guarantee you, you're barely going to find one. Barely. Because it's impossible. You have to be mentally not there. I love those clips.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I mean, I don't love them, but I love them because I haven't been there. I know how bad that really is. The staff and the Secret Service are probably like, shit, we just told them five minutes ago. Like, what the hell is it like this? They got like the airplane things in there this way.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
they do that's a great yeah that's funny he's never funny that's funny they do they have like a a behavioral learning negative like ptsd response whenever hail to the chief comes on because they know they're gonna have to this way bro this way every dead stress level goes up automatically now whenever they hear the music they're gonna be sitting at home after the detail and the wife will have fox news on it's after say a midnight they're sleeping at one o'clock in the evening

And the guy's going to jump up and, oh, my God, where's Biden? Biden, Biden's been out of office four years. Let's see what else.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
This is great. Yes, he is going that far. You know, I got to tell you, I'm a. I'm a little torn on this one. Can I let you guys in on a little secret? I shouldn't say this, but I'm going to. No, I shouldn't, but I will. When this happened, Biden's so out of it, folks, I really don't think there was any agenda here at all. I don't. He's so out of it. I'm not even sure he knew what he was doing.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Maybe he knew it was a Trump hat. Maybe he didn't. I don't know. But Biden's... I'll tell you why I'm torn on this. I'm going to get into it. I'm going to get in a rabbit hole. I dislike this guy so much because he's so corrupt in what he did with his family and all this other stuff makes me so sick to my stomach and all the endless lying and comparing us to Nazis.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I mean, I have a visceral emotional reaction to Joe Biden. But again, I can't be a hypocrite and say, don't get emotional about politics, stay transactional and then get emotional about it, even if it's Joe Biden. I didn't want to say anything at the time because I really can't stand this guy. But I didn't find that clip to be...
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I really think he just didn't know what he was doing, and he was trying to be like a funny, friendly guy. And I don't know. I shouldn't have said it. I don't want you to think I'm ever being fake with you. I'm not. I dislike this guy so much. I may have attributed to him is what I'm getting at. Really malicious motives because he's a genuinely awful guy that in that moment may not have existed.

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Okay, I have a deal for you. If we get a seat in the new Trump White House press room, you know, they're talking about breaking up the press room and giving seats to media channels that actually people listen to, like us and Charlie Kirk and others.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
If we get that and I hire a correspondent, one of my first requests when they're not in the press room, say maybe for a weekend gig one day, is going to be to go to the Bronx and ask young kids who are black what a computer is. I can guarantee you, Governor of New York Kathy Hochul, Guys, what do you say in the percentage? Let me throw this out there. I'm going to say a sample size.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Maybe we ask 50 young black men. Let's say 13 or under. Let's say 10 or under, just to be fair to Kathy Hochul, who thinks young black kids are idiots. Let's say 10 or under. I'm going to say 100%. For the liberals who are bad at math, that's 50 out of 50. I'm going to say 50 out of 50 not only know what a computer is, but can operate a computer and can describe a computer.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Guys, are you going with 100% or maybe a little less? Justin wants to go to Cal State or one of those betting sites, and he wants to put $100,000 he doesn't have on 100% of black kids, 10 and younger, know exactly what a computer is, and honestly are probably better at using it than Kathy Hochul. But of course, Kathy Hochul's a liberal, so will anybody call her a racist?
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Nah, they'll celebrate it and make apologies for her because that's what they do, because liberalism and racism, they go hand in glove. That was a good one. I've forgotten about that one, too. That was one of the gems of the year. You guys put this together yourself very good. Let me see what else you got.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
You may want to watch a show like Rachel Maddow where they get everything wrong all the time because they think it's more than snapshots and soundbites. So let's see what we got for clip one, year in review. Check this out.

The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I see what you guys did here. Tell me if I'm right. Tell me if I'm right. Well, you guys, the theme of what you're doing here is liberals pretending to acknowledge that they were wrong about who America really is and then turning around and shitting on America and admitting they have no idea who America is. Am I right? I have no idea who America really is. Am I correct or am I correct?

You having... You having a blue checkmark, a Twitter handle, and 300 words of cleverness doesn't make you a reporter. You don't do that by popping off on Twitter. You don't do that by having an opinion. You do it by doing the hard work.

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Oh my gosh, that was a personal request. Thank you guys, seriously, for including it. Folks, that may not be the funniest or the silliest or the most sarcastic or the one worthy of me throwing a rotten eggs at. But it is telling. That's Jim Vander Hei, who's one of the bosses over at Axios, which is a left-wing news outlet.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I want you to keep in mind there, this is just an extinction burst by him. An extinction burst in psychology is when you engage in a behavior you're used to a response from. You put a dollar, you get a Coke, and then you put a dollar in the machine, the Coke doesn't come out, so you beat up the machine. That's what Vander Hei's doing. He's engaging in an extinction burst.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
He's beating up the machine, okay? He's kicking the machine because he doesn't understand or he's incapable of understanding how the propaganda they've been using for 50 years is no longer working. And he's upset that people like us beat them at their own game. That's all this is. This is an emotional outburst that really became... A rallying cry to the left.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
They thought this was great, make no mistake. Them celebrating them being wrong in just about every media story of the decade and yelling about it. But on the right, it was a laughingstock. And all of us know exactly what's going on. And I know who's right because we have an audience and they don't, at least relatively speaking. Let's see what else you got. Everyone's favorite patio host?
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Oh, oh, is that a thing? Did you like make a word up? Is that in the dictionary? I think you should. I think everyone should go put an urban dictionary. Can we make submissions? Because I actually like that patio. If you're a radio and a radio podcast host, a patio, some of memorable moments from Mr. That's me. OK, well, let's see what you got.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Oh, no. But the Democrats were very tactical folks. They're not stupid. They understand that it doesn't matter if these illegals vote or not. It does. I mean, it's terrible. Obviously, if they do, they broke the law.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Okay, so let me say again. Fuck you, Bill O'Reilly, you lying sack of shit. You're a chump, and you're obviously a pussy, too. I hate Bill O'Reilly. I always have. He's a douchebag. I used to do his show once in a while at Fox, and you would sit there at this little desk, and because he was such a dick and everybody hated him, no, everybody hated him. Well, just about.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Maybe there were a few people like... Did you notice when Bill O'Reilly got into that shit? I'm not going to even talk about it because it's pretty gross. Did you notice nobody defended him? You got something to say to me, you six-foot-tall-plus piece of shit? Say it to my face. Oh, my gosh. Fucking chump. Wow. Piece of shit. You're listening to this guy. You're being played. Wow. Man.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Okay, number one. Everything I said in there is accurate. He did. He started a fight. And what bothered me most about that clip, so you understand the background. You know, people talk smack about me all the time, whatever, right? The reason that got under my skin is this guy was always reaching out about coming on my show and selling his book. And I've tried to make my radio show.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I do people's books once in a while. Obviously, you know, friends come on. They have good material. But I'm trying not to make it a book show because then his show gets annoying. People want to hear about other things. So I always made room for this guy. And I'm telling you, he would reach out all the time at his books, and we always had him on. I was never.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Matter of fact, on Fox, when he asked me to come on, we never said no. We always did his show. And, man, for this guy to not even give me a heads up and say, hey, can you clarify what you meant by this, to just randomly try to invoke my name for a clickbait, oh, man, was I furious. And I'm going to tell you again. Everything I said in that clip is true. That guy was hated, hated.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Okay, I'm... I'm just going to let you know in advance. I swear to you on my integrity. The guys did not, they don't like when I know the clips in advance because they think they're going to get an inauthentic response. And one of the things people say they love about the show is it's real. You're damn right it's real. I didn't know what they were going to play.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Nobody liked that guy. Nobody. Maybe, well, I shouldn't say that. A few people were kind of milquetoast about him and I met, but not a good guy at all. And he deserved all of that. You know, sometimes people will be like, ah, you know, do you regret going after him like that? No, no. Folks, you're going to punch me, man. I'm sorry.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
This is a double-leg takedown coming, and we're jumping on top full mount. Sorry. It just doesn't work that way. Don't poke the – forget about the bear. Don't poke the tiger. I forgot him, man. I really filleted that dude. Oh, my gosh. You ain't kidding. Let's see what else he got.

I actually, I'm not a dancer. I can't dance. I'm not a dancer. I liked it. It doesn't mean I don't like it. I do things I can't do all the time. But I actually, that's a great song. What's that guy's name? Charles Downs or something? That guy, that's actually a really good song. And by the way, one quick thing, because this is a political show.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I remember when we were told that us highlighting the eating of the dogs and the cats was going to be the end of the campaign song. Oh, my gosh, Ohio, everybody's going to turn on you. You guys look horrible. Yeah, it worked out well for them. Don't ever listen to media bullshit. Whatever they say, spin it 180, spin it 180, and I can guarantee you the opposite is true, which it was.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
We won Ohio in a mega landslide, so don't believe any of their bullshit. That was a good one. All right, what else you got? Random screenshots. Okay, I didn't see this coming. Oh, is that Fugazi? You notice how I have him in like a karate position there? You see like I've got like the unbendable arm going, my left arm in the karate position. And I think it's because I... No, no, no, no.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Yeah, yeah. Michael's like all into jujitsu. Now, wait, put the screenshot back up. So me and Michael talk jujitsu all the time. Guy and them are like, Mike and Justin are like, what the hell are you guys always talking about? The thing about the Fugazi thing is I'm so sensitive about the Fugazi because I only got one big Fugazi head. I got a lot of small Fugazi heads.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I don't want the Fugazi head to ever, like, get dented because this is really an integral part of the show. And I think that's why I had, like, they teach in Secret Service the unbendable arm. That's why I had the unbendable arm going because I'm very defensive about the Fugazi head. They only got me one Fugazi head. I have a lot of small ones, but not big.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
My response to that is, what the did she just say? You want to know why Kamala Harris lost the campaign? She had the absolute inability to give any clear and concise answer on any topic whatsoever. Because, you know, sometimes with the clips, I've heard them like five or six times, right, guys, before I sent them over. So I already know. I don't really have to hear it. I've heard it. I cut it.

And, you know, Fugazi's got a big head, so we don't want to mess up the big head Fugazi. You see that? Underhook. Michael's always thinking Jets. You got to get them underhooks all the time. What else you got? Oh, my gosh. Should I tell them the story behind this one, Paula? So, Guy. Oh, here we go. Here's Guy. Here's the story with this.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
So because we're always talking about, you know, people having figuratively big balls, because, you know, I hate the word literal. I mean, you may, but that's a problem you may have to seek out if you have elephantitis issues like Johnny Dangerously. But I said, Guy, go out and get like some watermelons and some grapefruits and stuff like that. So Guy went out and got...
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Some grapefruits, which just punched me right in the face with. And we put them on the show. And I love them. I think they're the greatest thing. But you see the little moray effect, by the way, here going on? You see that? This yellow, it must be doing something to the camera. This is not an electric watermelon, folks. I promise you, what you're seeing on camera is not real.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
This is just a yellow stripe. It looks like it's glowing or something. Paula absolutely hated it. And usually I sometimes I overrule, which is most of the time. But in this case, she was like, I hate the grapefruits and the watermelon. So we're never going to do it again. But I'm glad you put the screenshot up because there's always a story. And you guys are entitled to know the deeds here.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Save those, though. Don't throw them out because we may need them in the new studio. I know it may cause a big I may be divorced after this. I know she did hide him. Paula wanted to pop them and throw them in the garbage. But I had I had a backup pair just in case. Yeah. He can take that a lot of different ways. All right, let's see what else you got. Oh, my gosh. Now, this was 8-8 day.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
We got a repeat of Fugazi. This is me actually hugging Fugazi. The light in the studio is reflecting on the right cheek a little differently, though. He looks a little strange. He looks extra white on the right side of his face. But it was 8-8 day, which, of course, Fugazi thinks Donald Trump lowered the flags to half-mast when he meant half-staffed. to acknowledge Heil Hitler.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
He actually said that, which was insane. So I guess kind of convenient that he's got an extra white face going on that day due to the lighting in the studio. But I am hugging Fugazi right there, showing our love for the great Frank Fugazi. I wonder if Kamala Harris would have won if he would have been like the FBI director or something. What do you think? The possibility.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
All right, let's take one more. What else you got? Two more. Okay. Oh, my gosh. Rock'em Sock'em. Was my Rock'em Sock'em robots? Thank you to my accountant, Josh Goodman. He sent me, turns out, the Rock'em Sock'em robot set. Was I not right with the Rock'em Sock'em robot strategy that this is the way to overwhelm them? I told you they were going to take a scalp. They did. I wish they hadn't.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
But now we're seeing, as Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard and RFK move along, now we're seeing Rock'em Sock'em Robots. There I was. I actually, on the record, beat Guy rather handily, despite not having played Rock'em Sock'em Robots in over 30 years. I still won the game because I've just got mad skills like that. So that was a good one. All right, let's see what you got for the last one here. Wow.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Do you remember what this was for? No. This was the sixth middle finger salute never before seen on the Dan Bongino show with the sneakers. Look at this. Man, you can't even, like, see the actual middle finger I was given with the toe. But that was the sixth middle finger salute that, gosh, does anybody remember? Anyone in the chat? Give us a – I'm going to look. I want to see what that was.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
If you remember, that's got to be a P1 of P1 things. I don't remember, but that was the only time I think we ever did a sixth – July 10th. So someone go back and figure out what that was about. But I must have been really annoyed at that one. But either way, we were probably right because we predicted just about everything on this show this year. So we're pretty good.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I sent it over. I watched it. I watched it two or three times, sometimes more. I'm listening to this, and I still can't figure out what the hell she just said. If there was ever a clip that summed up the word salad problem and the lack of any kind of vision from Kamala Harris, that was it. I remember that one. All right, let's see what else you got.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
The sextuple barrel middle finger. That was good, guys. That was a good show. Hey, man, I hope you enjoyed the show on this Friday. We're going to party a little bit tonight. I'll have a weekend update for you on Monday. I appreciate everything. And I promise after Monday, for those of you who wanted me to turn in my man card, I'm only 50 once. I'm just a dude.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
It'll be the last time we ever address it. Maybe I can earn my man card back from you, but your opinion matters too. Thanks for tuning in, folks. See you back here on Monday.

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Joe Pesci style. Okay, okay, okay. Leo Getz. Some of you get that. One of the biggest problems in politics I find with people, and it's politics and the media. I've kind of discussed this before, but I'll bring it up here again because it's critical, especially with this new year coming around and, you know, midterms only two years away. I call this the SAT problem.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
It's where a politician who's not that bright, very little aptitude, maybe some achievement, but it's faux achievement. They hear a word they think makes them sound somewhat educated and eloquent on a matter. Gravitas, holistically, whatever it is, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
They find this stupid word, and they fall in love with it, and they repeat it endlessly on loop, thinking they found something that makes them sound... What's the... Oh, man. Producer Jim, help me out. What's the Joe Biden word he says all the time whenever he wants to sound smart? Shit. One of you guys got to get this to me.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
He says this word all the time when he's trying to sound like he's really smart. It's the SAT word problem. Don't do this. It draws unnecessary attention to you as you repeat something and the brain tends to remember patterns. She does this shit all the time. It's one of the reasons she lost. Don't do it. It's the gravitas problem with Dick Cheney. Gravitas, gravitas.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Once the word catches on, everybody repeats it because they think it sounds good. Kids do this. Kids do this. What's the word kids use all the time? It drives you crazy. You've heard it, right? You have teenagers? Literally. Everything's literally. That's why I hate that word. Everything's literally when they mean figuratively. Everything. If everything's literal, it's not literal. It's figurative.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Literally. Literally. What's this damn word with Joe Biden? Damn it. It's going to drive me crazy. I don't know. I may creep up in this thing. I don't know what you got. You may have inadvertently played.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
So a couple people asked me to turn in my man card. A couple of listeners said, Dan, you've been talking way too much about this 50th birthday. What are you, some kind of prima donna? Well, today's the big day. I'm a little worried, though. A little bit windy. It was about a little bit of wind. You don't get too much of that down here in Florida. But it was a little bit windy last night.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I just remembered the Joe Biden word. Solicitous. Joe Biden says solicitous all the time. Solicitous, that's his SAT word. Don't fall for the SAT word problem. Folks, this is another critical problem, inauthenticity and not being genuine. Those are the many faces of Kamala Harris. You have rarely seen a political chameleon in your life like Kamala Harris.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
She seemed to want to be everything to everyone to the point where she felt like she needed to talk to groups differently. But here's the thing. It's not only patronizing and condescending, but it's just wrong because people, whoever that group is, wherever they're from, whatever their race, color, creed, religion, it doesn't matter.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
They don't want to be spoken to as if they're different than anyone else and they require some different accent to be. It's patronizing to them. They get pissed off. They don't. It doesn't work. You think you're down. You're doing the Jenny from the block routine. You're not. You sound like a moron.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Donald Trump talks the same way every single time and actually increased his voting percentage amongst some of these sensitive groups of the Republican Party. We've been getting crushed demographically for a long time because he never spoke differently to anyone ever. This is another don't do.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
This turns into snapshots and particularly soundbites that reflect particularly poorly upon your campaign. Everybody remembers Al Gore trying to fake it in front of the black church. Hillary Clinton with the, you know, I carry hot sauce. Hillary Clinton's never seen hot sauce in her life. She's totally full of shit. This is all pandering. People see through it. They are not stupid. Don't. Do it.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
It's a big no-no. Campaign managers, if your client's doing this, shut that down. Let's see what you got. All right. We can't afford. Oh, the tampon, Tim. We can't afford four more years of tampons. No, this was my favorite. And I'm a knucklehead at times. Yes, you are. Definitely a knucklehead at times. This is his own shot.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
But I think it'll be like mid-high 60s. So I think we're going to be okay. But it's a big day. So, you know, we talk about snapshots and soundbites. Snapshots, say it right, brother. snapshots and soundbites all the time. So I thought kind of what better way on a great day like today. To me, I'm really happy today.

Oh, I know, I know, it's him going on and on, not being able, but they can't get enough of that clip. Okay, can I give you some life advice here? This is an important show, okay? There is a king of the turban, the Mount Olympus of Greek gods, Tamponicus Timicus, using the lightning tampon as a weapon of mass destruction politically, unfortunately for his own campaign.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I'm going to give you a piece of life advice. You don't have to take it. You can say, what the hell you know about life? Your life's more screwed up than anyone. I got to say, you'd be right. What is two thumbs and screws up earth? This guy. However, I'm going to throw this at you because I know it's true. You may call me crazy.

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
I don't believe in self, you know, in self, destroying yourself like publicly and making yourself look silly. Some people like, oh, it's cute, you know, self-effacing humor and all that other stuff. No, no, no, I don't buy it. I'm sorry. Call me crazy. I've been married 20 years and all this other stuff. I'm not telling you that everything is like peaches and cream all the time.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
That's not what I'm saying at all. But I don't do embarrassing stuff, and I don't make myself look stupid in front of my wife or my kids. I just don't. It's my thing. I'm sorry. Someone asked me for Halloween once, can you dress up like this thing? And I thought it looked stupid. I said, no. Oh, have some fun with it. No, no, I don't want to have fun. You don't have to agree with me. That's cool.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
It's my life. That's how I run it. Don't do anything that makes you look stupid. Don't ever say in public you're a knucklehead. Don't ever claim you're a moron in public because people will believe you, okay? You're either a liar or you're telling the truth. If you're a liar, you're a liar. If you're telling the truth, then you're a knucklehead. Nobody wants a knucklehead, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
Don't do things that make you look dumb. Don't go out in a bubble boy suit. Don't throw a tank helmet on, pretending to be a tank commander like Michael Dukakis. And don't go out pretending to go out on a hunt when you can't even load your own freaking rifle. You look like an idiot. Don't do it. This is not just a lesson for politics. It's one of Dan Bongino's lessons for life.

I'm in such an amazing mood to do a snapshots and soundbite show where we recap the entire year. I think you're going to really like this. I hope you enjoy it.

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
You don't have to take it. It's fine. I'm just telling you, I don't do things that make me look stupid. Now, I'm not saying once in a while you're not going to be thrown into a situation where you look really stupid. Just don't do it on purpose. Just throwing that out there. You do what you want with it. Hey, you having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Listen, I've been there.

It's not just about feeling tired the next day. It's about the toll poor sleep can take on every aspect of your life. That's why I'm excited to talk about Beam's Dream Powder, a science-backed hot cocoa for sleep. They sent me some a while back. I love it. I'm sleeping a lot better. I'm sharper, more focused, and ready to tackle whatever life throws my way, and it throws a lot.

BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
You know, I didn't expect that clip to hit me that way. I've seen it like you probably, what, a thousand times? Folks, that was a special moment for all the wrong reasons. But I had known Donald Trump for a while. Again, I don't want to exaggerate my friendship with him, please. You sound like an asshole when you say that, trying to pretend you know people when you don't.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
But I have a relationship with him. We don't drink coffee together, but I've known him for a while, and I've seen him outside of the public eye, and he's a really special person. He's really obsessed with making you feel important. That's a unique skill very few people have. He's a good, decent guy. He's not a guy without flaws. None of us are. Some of them may be significant.
The Dan Bongino Show
BONGINO REACTS: Best Clips Of 2024
But he's a really good and decent guy. I got to tell you something. The Donald Trump I've known and a lot of people know. A lot of you have met him. I'm not the only one. A lot of you may know him like I have. You may have had a couple conversations with him. That clip that day changed everything.

I think a lot of people, even like the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, the pretty devout leftist in charge of Facebook, was like, that was pretty badass. Yeah, it was. Folks, I'm going to tell you something. I haven't been on the other side of that, doing the protection side. You hear a gunshot ring out, like I did, at least when I was a cop, not as an agent.

Because if you were watching and not listening to the podcast, if you're watching on Rumble, you'll see in that post clip that those tapes, some of them were released through someone, through Giuliani. So, of course, instead of actually investigating those tapes, which is the biggest freaking scandal of our time, they investigate who? Rudy Giuliani.

I wouldn't be surprised, by the way, if it turns out there's a USAID connection to that, too. Do you understand what your government has been doing in your name? Opening your border, actively terrorizing its citizens through censorship campaigns, funding operations around the world to get rid of Donald Trump and put his people in jail. I'm going to play one more. I'm going to take a break.

Here's one last one for you. Where the Ukrainian president prior to Zelensky, and by the way, Zelensky's never come clean on any of this. Zelensky knows what's happening here. The Russia-Ukraine war is a different matter. I'm just telling you, Zelensky could have shut this down, this impeachment hoax, right away by telling people about this. And he didn't. He knows about this.

There's an FBI agent who later went on to work with a Soros affiliated group that was trying to push a do not prosecute list to cover all this stuff up. And they went after Giuliani when he exposed it. They freaked out to make sure nobody would find out about the Ukraine piggy bank they were all profiting off of. You don't think freaking Putin knew about this whole thing?
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
You don't think it's a little bit odd that Putin waits for Trump to leave office to invade Russia, knowing he's got all of this material on Biden and all the people who made money in Ukraine? You don't think that's weird? What do they say in New York? I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Folks, they were in a panic over this USAID story because your money has financed a lot of this.

Thanks to other people, too. Schellenberger opened up an angle I was not aware of, filled in a huge piece of the puzzle for me. Folks, another thing they're losing their minds over, the Democrats, is this immigration enforcement. They are doing everything, everything to tie up Donald Trump, to tie up his nominees. They cannot exist without their demographic destiny plan and the open border.

They are also flushing it to non-governmental organizations that are not just doing things like attacking Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani and paying for media propaganda that used to impeach him, but they're being paid to religious groups and other groups out there to open our borders so we're invaded.

And then when the invasion happens and gang members get in the country, the left has to protect the gang members, just like they have to protect the corrupt money running that was going scandal was going on in Ukraine.

And they warned them, Hey, ice is coming. ABC News, ICE carries out a raid in Colorado. 100 members of a Venezuelan gang targeted for arrest. Targeted for arrest? I say targeted because we didn't get a lot of them. Because left-wing media goons and others and other groups out there made sure they got away. Listen to Tom Holman, our borders are on this.

Expressvpn.com slash Bongino. All right, fellas, let's get this party started on this Friday. Folks, yesterday's show blew up the entire Internet. We had a huge, massive audience. We brought up a very simple point. Keep this in mind. Again, Bluff, bottom line up front. Donald Trump got elected in a shock election in 2016. Nobody saw it coming.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Again, if this doesn't piss you off, how corrupt our government has been. This is why we need Rock'em Sock'em robots for the next two years. There's no time, folks. We have so many messes to clean up. The left has tried. This is intentional. They're not destroying the country by accident. Watch this.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
This is how it's done when you F-A and you have to F-O. Holman understands, the left understands nothing other than the old Michael Anton line, real material losses. Listen to me. If you do not impose... Real material losses on the left, they will change none of their behavior.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
You want the left to stop warning rapists, murderers, and gang members that there's going to be a raid and they're going to be deported by Holman and our United States heroic men and women in the Border Patrol and elsewhere? You want to stop it? When they warn them and they impede an investigation, go lock them up, then it'll stop. It's the only way. They don't understand talk.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
They don't understand chatter. They only understand handcuffs and real material losses imposed upon them. There is no other way, folks. This, of course, is our FO segment where a lot of lefties are starting to find out that after they FAA'd, a lot of us are tired of letting it go. We're not doing that anymore. And you're now going to FO too. You're going to find out.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Lefties are just starting to find out now, of course, the penalties for voting for left-wing lunatics like gang members in your community, your energy bill going crazy, the U.S. going bankrupt, massive inflation. Oh, look at this story. Governor Hochul, what state is that? New York. That's a liberal state, Dan. Yes, it is. I used to live there.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Governor Hochul's green energy push drives the average New Yorker's Con Ed bill, that's the energy company up there, up $154 a month in just five years. I love New York, man. I was born there. I live there. But you keep voting for this crazy, and crazy is going to kick you right in the balls and is going to steal the money right out of your wallet.

You are going to go broke right quick, as they say down here. Folks, the FOing is going to continue, man. Thankfully, Trump's got people in there now who understand this problem. Did you see this video that went viral of our new Secretary of Energy who has now been confirmed, Chris Wright? You want to talk about a guy who gets the green energy scam and why Trump appointed these people?
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
And this guy's about to let you FO that the green energy scam is done? This was all over the internet the other day. Listen to him explain in just about 30 seconds plus how this shit is over, this scam. Check this out.

The swamp has been making money for years in places like Ukraine and elsewhere. Biden and all his cronies. Trump looks into it. Trump gets impeached over it. How does that relate to what's going on? Michael Schellenberger, I'm going to play it again today because it's relevant. An investigative reporter found out that the predicate
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
I can't tell you this enough, how Trump is the FAFO president. You think he's appointing these people by accident? RFK, Tulsi, Kash Patel, Chris Wright, new secretary, Pete Hegseth. You think this was all by an accident there? Folks, people are about to find out and we don't have time. We don't. There's not a single day that can go to waste.

for the impeachment allegations against Donald Trump, because he was looking into Ukraine, may have had its genesis in USAID funding. I can't even describe to you the enormity of that. That you may have paid for regime change in the freaking United States. Bad enough we're doing it overseas. Trump exposed the Ukrainian piggy bank that Biden was profiting from.

That's Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Dan. Check it out. You won't regret it. Highly recommend it. Check it out. All right, back to the show. Just a quick update on, you know, the Bongino Army, the chat, we love you guys, the P1s out there, the McGroin crew, everyone. I am so proud to be part of this where we are way ahead of people who do this for a living on what Donald Trump is.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
I said that wrong. Let me just kind of rephrase that. Professional media people get paid to tell you the news every day. Here are the stories, here are the headlines.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
It's absolutely incredible that after 10 years of Donald Trump being on the political scene, that a bunch of us, this kind of like ragtag group of Bongino Army members, that we consistently beat the media on explaining how Donald Trump works. We don't even get paid to do this. We're soccer coaches, electricians, former cops, and we're constantly teaching the media how to do their own job.

DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
I told everyone about the Gaza story. Everyone chill. He's not talking about a military takeover of Gaza. If you just would have waited a day, you would have figured that out. Unsurprisingly, however, Breitbart, Hamas calls Trump irresponsible for Gaza takeover plan. Ridiculous and absurd. Folks, we should definitely back off the plan now. The terror group of...
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
And I'm wearing it today because after yesterday's show, which went nuclear on the internet, exposing how the USAID deep state money laundering scandal was related to the collusion hoax, Spygate, the impeachment hoax, the whistleblower, I just want it out there. I am in no way suicidal.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Infant-murdering, women-raping savages. It's like, we don't really like this plan. It's ridiculous or absurd. Oh, that's it. That case, forget it. You better scrap that. We're done with that one. Wait, Hamas doesn't like it? Oh, forget it. As if they, you got your asses kicked. These Hamas losers out there and demons, right? What part of you got your ass kicked don't you understand?
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Again, you want to argue the Palestinian case. I get it. It's very complicated. I understand that. There's no case for Hamas. They're demon savage. They're not even, to call them pigs is really an insult to pigs. It is. They're just garbage. They're human filth. They're piles of human shit. These people mean nothing. They are demon savage slobs. You got your ass kicked.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
You got your nuts blown off by pagers you were too stupid to figure out were rigged. Your entire leadership has been wiped out. Nobody gives a shit about what you think about Trump's plan. Hamas, they call the plan irresponsible. This is classic. You know what's irresponsible?

is just one of many Democrats completely melting down and freaking out over Elon Musk, Doge, and Trump now looking into the payment systems of the United States government because they don't want you to know where the money is going.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
They are panicking over you figuring out where your government is spending money because they don't want you to know it's being used, spent to censor you and to go against your electoral choices, especially if they're Donald Trump. Listen to Elizabeth Warren, you'll see what I mean.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
They're not inherently dumb people, but they don't understand the limits of their own intelligence. So they think they can inject themselves into every space of your own life. And by the way, this is epidemic on the squad side. And I know he's right. I mean, in AOC's example, it's probably not the best one because she's legitimately stupid. She just doesn't know any.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Remember that interview with Margaret Hoover? I don't really know anything about the Middle East. And maybe you should just shut up. Here's another one, though. Ayanna Pressley is not dumb again, but this is a stupid, smart person. This is a plague on the left, especially with the squad. Here she is, and I want you to, she's talking about white people in Iowa. Did you see this?
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
And I just want you to listen to this for a second. She, of course, is a radical left-wing communist Democrat crazy person who's obviously a racist. I mean, just plainly by what you're about to hear. She's complaining about how people in Iowa and stuff don't really know anything or can't relate to people because they're white.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Folks, she is speaking for the entire Democrat Party. Elon Musk was a hero for them when he built this electric car revolution they came to love. They turned on Elon Musk because his Doge programmers and his Doge geniuses are now inside the government for the first time in like forever looking at where your taxpayer dollars are being spent.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
And I just want you to replace white with any other racial group and tell me how this isn't like a racist-y racist thing. You can't because, of course, it is. Take a listen.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Folks, you see how these stupid, smart people how they think because they got elected to Congress, they can racially engineer the entire country into their new far left communist ideological way of thinking. They are obsessed with identity politics. They cannot stop talking about race because they don't have anything else. Race is a proxy for them. That is it.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
It is a proxy for them to get voters to hate Republicans. If they constantly bring up race and Republicans are arguing for a colorblind society, what do they do? They can't get you to vote for them because they suck, AOC and Ayanna Pressley. So they get you to vote against Republicans. Look, they're racist. So they have to constantly bring up race.

DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
I know some of you love it, some of you hate it, but this is a good one about our government spending habits and how Republicans better get their act together too, showing you I am a bipartisan criticizer of bad policy. Republicans better get their act together on this spending thing.

Listen, I'm asking you all as a friend of the cause, I don't have friends in politics, but friends of the cause, Congressional Republicans, if you are allied in this cause, which you ran on and say you are, you're going to lose everyone. The public appetite for big change is here right now. Elon, Doge, Trump, the MAGA revolution. You have a two-year window before the midterms for massive change.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
We don't want to see a penny here, a penny there. We want to see massive cuts at the burden, burden of government, because that's what it is. Get on the train, man. You're going to get run over by it. These folks in my chat with the biggest MAGA show out there, they'll tell you right now, yes or no, they'll tell you right now, we are in the mood for big change. No more carving around the edges.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
The show is a bipartisan criticizer of bad ideas. And if you think cutting a penny here, cutting a penny there is a good idea, you're watching the wrong show. Folks, I hope you enjoyed this week. Please spread yesterday's show and today's show around. This USAID scandal is huge. The money, the impeachment hoax, all of it is related. It's all tied together.

And now we find out that the collusion hoax, the Spygate thing, the impeachment hoax, and all of this may have been financed by some of the same payment systems Elon's looking into.

I have been covering this money trail for years. They don't want Elon covering it because he's got the world's biggest megaphone on Twitter. And you are going to find out that all of the anti-Trump scandals, ladies and gentlemen, are being run by the same people. The same people. I want to play this again.

I hate to do it to you two days in a row, but folks, if yesterday's show went crazy and I cannot let you go into the weekend without wrapping this baby up in a nice little gift wrap and putting it under your political Christmas tree, okay? Here was the segment that filled in a big piece of the puzzle to my follow the money investigation.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
The money that's been used to attack you and Donald Trump forever. where the entire thing started. And it turns out Michael Shellenberger may have an answer. That USAID and your taxpayer dollars and payments may have been used to fund a media report that was actually propaganda used to get Donald Trump impeached as he started looking into Ukraine. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
But we are, and you, in fact, and the Bongino Army as well, we are collectively public enemy number one right now. Because I'm telling you what we exposed yesterday on that show. The Ukrainian piggy bank and the way shitty politicians, lobbyists, and people for years have been using your money to get rich upset a lot of people. But that's okay. Because that's what we do here.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Folks, I had to play this again because this is such an insane story that explains everything that's gone on over basically the last 10 years, roughly. Donald Trump started entering around and sniffing around the presidential race in around 2015. And that's, by the way, my sources tell me that's roughly when the spying starts as well on Trump and a lot of the Republican candidates for president.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
What my source calls many of the Pied Piper candidates. I gave you the list a long time ago with the people that my source alleges were spying on. It wasn't just Donald Trump. But this is now 10 years explained in one simple segment on the Jesse Waters show.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
They are pissed off about Elon and USAID because they cannot have a paper trail of the regime change stuff they've been doing at home to destroy Donald Trump. And you paid for it. Some of you may have forgotten this. I played this on yesterday's radio show, but it's pivotal to put it together on a podcast where you can all put it together and see it, okay? Does this make sense now?
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Schellenberger and Jesse Waters last night in that segment. Schellenberger's reporting. He's alleging that the whistleblower, which we believe is this guy, Eric Chiamarella, who is a Obama CIA holdover in the Trump national security team early in the White House, right?
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
He's indicating that he may have gotten his information from media reports funded by USAID, who was paying money to Politico and elsewhere and other outlets, right? Chia Morella, if you read my book, you'll note that he was working with Biden on the Ukraine portfolio, where Biden and his family are making a ton of money in Ukraine. Obama knows all of this. He's warned about it.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
The media is desperately protecting Obama. They don't care about Biden. That's why they want to make this story go away. Badly. This is what was going on when Biden was the vice president. You remember these calls? This is how freaked out they were. They had to impeach Donald Trump when he calls Zelensky and starts asking questions about the Ukraine grift. And this is where USAID fits in.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
You may have forgotten these tapes. I'm not going to let you. This is the president prior to Zelensky. And by the way, Zelensky knows all of this. This guy Poroshenko. Biden's got the Ukraine book for the Obama White House. Obama puts him in charge. Biden uses it to make money right away.

Here he is freaked out talking to the prior Ukrainian president, Poroshenko, about this new prosecutor who's going to start looking into how Biden family and all these other people who are making a shit ton of money in Ukraine. Here's Biden freaked out. And I'll translate the Ukrainian president as a thick accent. I'll tell you what he says. But I want you to listen to this.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
They had to shut this thing down. And that's where USAID came in. Check this out.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Do you guys see what's going on here? We play this one first for a reason. Biden is basically threatening the Ukrainian president prior to Zelensky. Hey, man, your physical security could be at risk if you start if you don't shut this down right away. Notice what he's talking about. He's afraid Donald Trump is going to start looking into the money going to Ukraine.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
That's what that whole thing is about. He's afraid of Privat Bank specifically, which is a bank alleged to be involved in the payments between Burisma and the Biden family through Hunter Biden. He doesn't want, very simply stated, he is terrified that Ukraine, Poroshenko is going to start asking President Trump for Ukrainian money.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
President Trump and his team are going to start looking at the money that went over there and find what? Maybe that USAID funds were involved in the attacks on Donald Trump, the collusion hoax, and the other stuff. You get what's going on here? By the way, hat tip OANN, Chanel Rion for doing a great job on this, by the way. And others, that's where some of these clips are from.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)
Appropriate hat tips in order. It gets worse. Here is Biden again. I've got two more of these talking about, again, the prosecutor general and FBI investigations where he grows increasingly freaked out that people are going to start looking into all the people who are making money in Ukraine. Democrats and Republicans, by the way, him being one of them.
The Dan Bongino Show
DOGE Uncovers More Corruption Than We Ever Thought Possible (Ep. 2418)

There appears to be a massive colluding circle of people interfering in the election in a critical swing state that could very well decide this entire election. Now, again, in case you think that I'm crazy when I say something big is about to happen before the election, they are not going. By the way, tomorrow, I hate to keep teasing tomorrow. I'm sorry, but I'm still putting it together.

I've got an exhaustive segment tomorrow on voting machines as well and why we're going to need paper ballots as a backup. Doesn't mean don't vote, folks. This may be our last chance to save this thing, but it doesn't mean be stupid either about the potential for hacking. I'm going to show you left-wingers talking about it.

So when they say, oh, it's a conspiracy theory, you'll know what I'm talking about. But why am I bringing this up in the context of this segment? Folks, they are not going to lose this thing without every possible legal, illegal, immoral, and unethical effort to stop Donald Trump. They're not. And I'm just begging you as a friend, listen to me, please. I am your friend, I promise you.

I hope you're having an amazing Christmas, New Year's, holiday season. This has been a great year for all of us. Obviously, Donald Trump winning the election has changed everything.

I have no dog in this fight. My skin in the game is purely ideological. I want to advance conservatism. I think Donald Trump's the best vehicle to do it. I'm telling you right now, we have got to win this thing, and they are not going to stop. I am trying to get you mentally prepared. That way you can respond immediately on Twitter, Facebook, True Social, and you are ready.

And that way you won't be swayed. Say you're a moderate. Some people listen to the show who aren't really diehard conservatives. I don't want you to be swayed by bullshit narratives going forward. Here's the same Secretary of State in Michigan, Jocelyn Benson, Issuing a, just like Merrick Garland the other day, threatening people using the January 6th thing. You saw it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
I played the video the other day. Here's the Michigan Secretary of State. Again, in a not even veiled threat that you better damn well certify this election even if you have questions. It's just not a veiled threat she makes. It's an open one. You think they're going to just go down quietly? Good luck. Check this out.

Kamala Harris is pathetic she's weak she has no ability to extemporaneously think on the spot she's not clever she's not likable she's none of these things This debate ended her entire presidential campaign, and she had to take a backbencher seat to the oatmeal god. This is a classic. Check this out.

Well, you folks, again, folks in the chat, you. You think I'm just throwing this out there? It's a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theory from who? You just heard her say it. She's threatened along with Merrick Garland. They are threatening you. They have to certify. What if there's something legitimately wrong with the election?
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Like the vote count doesn't match up with the amount of people who showed up to vote. You better certify it. Winky, winky, nod, nod. We'll be cracking down on you too. Remember January 6th? Folks, we're living in a police state now. I did a whole movie on this. Entire movie on this. You're living in a police state right now, not tomorrow. Look at this now, this tweet out of Brazil.

You think this is an accident that we're 60-plus days out from the most important election to overturn global elites in the swamp, their hegemonic rule over the entire globe for the last 50, 60 years? You think this is all an accident? There isn't a single show that is going to prepare you better for what's coming than this show. Folks, be ready. This is why, again, can I say this one last time?

And I'm apologizing in advance for the redundancy, but I promise you and assure you, I am deeming it absolutely critical to winning this election. You have got to vote early and bank your vote. If there are problems with the machines, which there will be, if there is a DDoS attack on Election Day, which I believe there may be, the DHS is already hinting at it.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Whether intentional or not, they're hinting at it. If we have a Maricopa County, Arizona situation, well, we're out of printing paper. We can't print the ballots. If you vote early, you will have time to fix it. And for all the people reaching out to me with legitimate, I get it, legitimate fair questions. Like, well, doesn't that give them time to figure out how many votes they need to cheat?
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
If they're going to cheat, they're going to cheat on election day too, and you'll have no time to detect it. This is hands down a ground ball decision. Vote early. Vote early. The day the polls open, vote early. Go to your county board of elections website. Every single county in the country has one. Every one. And it'll say check voter status. And you can see if they registered your vote.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Screenshot it. Take a picture of it. If something happens and it says you didn't vote when you did, you now have two to three weeks, depending on how long early voting is, In some states. Some states don't have it long at all. Some don't have it. You can figure it out. Please bank the vote. We can fight for a national election day with paper ballots once we win. We can't now. We don't have it now.

This thing was sitting right in front of our face and a lot of stuff got spun up. And I swear it was the biggest psyop ever. They got all of us distracted with other stuff. That's what I'm terrified with this shining object. Was there a second shooter?
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
there's no evidence of that and and frankly it's distracting us from asking about the first shooter like who was this guy which why are we talking we have enough to go on right now listen if later on evidence services that there were two more shells that were found i am happy to entertain it but we don't we have enough going on with the first shooter so i want your your all of your takes on this i'll start with you congressman roy and we'll go around this way congressman crane mills uh and then mark

Who was this guy working with? He may have been working with no one at all, but you don't find it a little strange. Again, the digital footprints have been wiped out. The body was apparently like quickly autopsied and turned over for cremation. And one of the biggest scandals of American government security failure in American history. And then we find out just days later,
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Merrick Garland, who I don't trust as far as I can throw in, that's not very far, is like, oh, look, we've got this Iranian infiltration into the United States and it's a direct threat to President Trump. We knew about, by the way, three years ago. You can actually go look it up. There's something going on here.
The Dan Bongino Show

You notice that any time the narrative isn't, you know, the facts of some event don't fit their narrative, that they sweep it aside. Right. Las Vegas shooting. How often do they talk about that?
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Do they ever want to go see the truth on it? Still no answers, right? And you can go through example after example where, all right, even the Nashville shooting, they did not want... in that school, right? They did not want to get into the background and the diary and all the stuff of the individual that was transgender or whatever in that shooting in the Christian school in Nashville.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
So here you've got this, right? And what happens? It just gets swept aside. And again, the reason we're doing this forum is that six weeks ago Saturday, I think if I have my dates correct, six weeks ago Saturday, President Trump was shot. And we act like that didn't occur as a nation. That is extraordinary on its face. So you're asking questions.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
And I said before, law enforcement guys, you know, we like, well, you don't want to you don't want to make too many leaps, particularly publicly. But but it's certainly all the questions you're raising are the questions we need to pursue that, you know, the digital footprint question, how this guy literally how he was able to be there flying a drone
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
The day that the former president and the Republican nominee would be on a stage flying a drone literally the same day, just a couple of hours before the event. How does that happen? Do you believe, well, that's just a colossal failure of incompetence? And by the way, they don't even want to pursue that. But... I don't believe that.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
OK, I'm just going to be when you get, you know, to get too far down the road. I don't believe that all of that's just accidental. I don't believe that this is all just incompetent. Or if it is, just put a brief out on it. Exactly.

So it's like Congressman Crane. You addressed Pfizer before. So we have this massive unconstitutional spying apparatus going on where we're like, well, we spy on American citizens occasionally, not willingly. Remember Clapper, not wittingly. But it's happening. Everybody knows it's happening. There's been IG reports about the whole thing. There's no communications with this kid anywhere.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
There's not a single leak. There's not a Facebook picture, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok. It's just, again, I'm not making any leaps. I'm just telling you the facts. And if you're forced to make a choice, gun to the headlight. Is there something shady here or not? You're like, oh, this is kind of weird.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
I'm telling you on my reputation, I've said in front of my audience, Guys, you don't ever have to talk to me again if I'm wrong. It is going to be the biggest scandal in modern American political history when they come out and go, oh, it was a training exercise, 100%. There is not a single chance in hell an EOD Secret Service team missed that bomb. There isn't. There is no chance.
The Dan Bongino Show

The dog is not political. The dog smells black. You guys know the dog smells black powder from 50 yards away. The dog's going to do something. The dog didn't do it. There is zero chance that bomb was it was placed there. And they're going to say later on it was a training exercise. I don't trust these people at all. And that's why I'm not willing to throw anything out either. I just, you know, I.

Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Can I break some news to you guys? Yeah, I was going to do it on tomorrow's show, but being that you're all here, you probably need to hear it anyway. So again, I'm promising you this is as well-placed a source as you're going to get. I wouldn't spin your wheels. Texted me this weekend and was there working on January 6th that day.

And when the pipe bomb incident went down and there was this initial chaos, him and his team were told, oh, yeah, go take a look, and we're going to investigate and look for this guy, this subject. And then they were told just hours later, specifically to stand down, but never given a reason. The story just makes no sense.

Absolutely bodied by Tulsi Gabbard. Done. That was the end of her campaign. Oh, look, it hasn't happened yet. Shit, I thought we missed it. He says it's Monday, August 19th. If you look at it on the screen, you know what, though? You just made a mistake. You used Wikipedia, so I don't trust that. It may have already happened. I told you guys. It's not allowed on the show ever.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
And, you know, granted, this is a Secret Service panel about that incident, but they are deeply involved in this, other security failure as well. So maybe I'll just throw that question out as well. If you guys want to comment, fine. If not, I totally understand. But there's simply no chance that this explosive device is there.

The Democrats in the media have been telling us all we're MAGA fascists who engaged in an insurrection to take out the government. They have prima facie evidence of it. A pipe bomb trying to take out the VP elect who's a Democrat. And we're the ones doing the us literally like we're like, let's get that guy. Let's get, no one else wants to talk about it. Not Benny Thompson.

You saw Massey go after Benny Thompson. Benny Thompson's like, I don't know nothing about nothing. The January 6th report, there's a whole big thing about grandma who got arrested for trespassing. There's nothing about a bomb out in front of the Capitol. The Secret Service texts disappear. It appears the camera footage has been manipulated. The FBI can't seem to find this guy.

Mark, on the January 6th, and unfortunately the assassination attempt as well, again, there seems to be this persistent effort, as you indicated before, to just not share information when these are literally taxpayer-funded entities whose job is to share information with us. It breeds this, not only this discontent, but this distrust, where if an investigation is to come out and it, let's say,

Folks, double-check that. Folks in the chat. Is that the actual deal? She is not even the nominee. She can't debate for shit. So does the Trump team? Yeah, you should debate her. Definitely.

And yesterday this prisoner exchange happened, which is great. We want our people home. I get it. Period. Full stop. I say that with the purest of hearts.

Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Because if we gave up a lot of people and Putin got the better end of the deal, doesn't Putin figure out he could just take more Americans and get the better end of the deal all the time?

You see how whenever she's forced to speak off the cuff, she repeats herself over and over? Unburdened by the pay. She does this all the time. It's because she has nothing to say.

And Donald Trump asked the question on his true social account yesterday that me and a lot of other people were asking. When are we going to get the details on this prisoner swap? Are they extorting the United States? They're calling the trade complex, he notes. That's because nobody can figure out how bad it is. Folks, I'm really sorry we have to ask real, honest questions.

I'd love to just celebrate this whole thing. It's great we got our people back. And we should do everything in our power to do that. But the world isn't a simple place. Donald Trump is asking a legitimate, fair, proper, appropriate question I wish more people on the left would ask. What did we have to give up for this? Because does it incentivize in the future... More American hostage-taking.

I didn't even look at the date. I knew it was 2018. Weird. August 2nd, 2018. The Guardian. Suspected Russian spy found working at the United States Embassy in Moscow. Now, leave that up for a second, please. Why am I putting this story up now? Because, ladies and gentlemen, that story... directly involves this guy. Dan, you knew there was a Russian spy in the embassy in Moscow? Yeah. Why?

It required someone to get killed and Donald Trump to get shot in the head for there to be enough political attention on the matter that they're willing to change. Let me tell you the story, okay? Because it speaks to the culture of dysfunction and risk aversion at this broken agency that should not survive intact after this. Back in the early 2000s, I was an instructor in our training center.

I was sent on a temporary assignment over to Russia. I volunteered for it. Moscow. We had what they call an RO, a resident office over there. If I'm boring you with the details, please stop me in the chat. But the story and the details matter. I was sent over as a temp. I was there a little over a month because the guy there before, a guy by the name of Charlie, I'll leave last names out of it.

A guy by the name of Charlie was what they call PNG, persona non grata, meaning the Russians kicked him out of the country. It's a long story as to why, but it was a retaliatory measure for something the United States did to a Russian here. Because the Russians, they never do what they're telling you. This is why I love when people tell me about Russia. I don't know. I've been there twice.
The Dan Bongino Show

I know a lot about Russia, probably more than most journalists. The Russians do things they can put in a paper to make it look like they're sticking it to the United States. Because we have the name the Secret Service, even though there's nothing secret about us, it's a protection agency, they knew the average Russian citizen would think we were like spies, like the CIA.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
So instead of kicking out the FBI that actually does intelligence overseas, what they did is they kicked out the Secret Service guy, Charlie. Because they could put Secret Service, oh my gosh, we kicked the spy out. You get it?
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
The Russians, though, however, didn't want to burn their relationship with the United States, so they said, tell you what, we're going to wink and nod and kick your permanent guy out, this guy Charlie, who was the boss over there, but we're going to let you rotate agents in. I was the second group of agents that got rotated in. It was two people at a time. Here's where the story gets bananas.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
You guys don't know this, right? I never told you this? The guy I got sent over with to work the Russia office in Moscow in our embassy for a good amount of time is now the boss of Donald Trump's detail. Does this whole story make sense now? I've known this guy 20 years. It's the same guy. Let's call him Jack. It's the same guy. So when me and him were in Moscow, we noticed something interesting.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
I'm going to ask you to put that piece up again in a second. The Secret Service had hired an FSN. FSN is short for a Foreign Service National. Her name was Anna. That's her real name. Well, that's what she told us her real name was. I'm not going to mention her last name because it doesn't really matter, but her name was Anna.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
And from the first night, let's just call this other agent I was with Jack. From the first night, we realized that Anna was very, very suspicious and odd. Anna would ask a lot of questions, totally inappropriate for someone hired as basically an administrative assistant. And we noticed that Anna had a really unusual interest in a lot of what the Secret Service did.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Ladies and gentlemen, we noticed this on day one. So this other agent and I, Jack, we started talking to each other and we said, this is kind of a problem. By the end of the first week, we knew absolutely that this woman was probably a spy. We would go and meet with the Russian FSB, the former KGB agent. And they would know her right away. Oh, hey, Anna, how are you?
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
And we would look at each other like, but I mean like know her. I don't mean like, hey, did we meet? I mean like, oh, hey, how are you? Couldn't have been more obvious. The woman was up to no good. So this other agent, Jack and I, who's now running Donald Trump's detail, by the way, he was smart, known this guy a long time.

There's your gal right there. You love the economy, the shit economy, real wages going down. What's Kamala going to say about that? I guarantee you she tries to slowly, slowly partition this off and go, oh, the economic stuff. Well, yeah, that's Joe Biden. I have a new vision. Vista is going forward. Kamala, 2024, new vision of the economy. I got nothing to do with that old stuff.

He said, I think we should do the right thing and notify Secret Service headquarters. I said, you're damn right. That's what we're going to do. So that's exactly what we did. We sent emails back saying, listen, the gist of it is you got a freaking spy in here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
We took all of our manuals and everything else and we put them up on a different floor, let's say, in the embassy to make sure she couldn't see them. But she had access to them the whole time. Manuals, like protection manuals and everything else. We sent that email thinking they would get back to us, the management, and be like, oh my gosh, great job, guys. Farming out a spy here.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
Excuse me, fishing out a spy, right? That's not the response we got at all. The response we got was basically, how do I say this? Go fuck yourself? Pardon the language, folks, but that was basically it. Like, you guys should probably shut your pie holes and never mention this again, which we were like, uh, no, and we sent back another email. Put up that article again.

Dan, this article is from 2018, 15 years later. 14 years later. What? You're saying you sent an email with your guy and it took them 14 years to figure it out? Yeah, it's funny.

The State Department said it wouldn't comment on allegations related to intel or personal matters, and we have no information for you on this alleged incident. Really? You sure about that? I'm willing to testify under oath that that statement is fake. I would guarantee you so is Jack. Because Jack has the email, by the way.

Restarted. That's freaking hilarious. Woman's a communist. The woman is a straight-up communist. No, it's a fact. Ladies and gentlemen, communism, socialism, progressivism, because they're all euphemisms for the exact same redistribution schemes, the central tenet of them is this. Whatever you earn doesn't belong to you. It belongs to someone else, whether they earned it or not.
The Dan Bongino Show
Producer's Picks: Bongino's Best Segments - 01/03/25
They call this now equity. It's a buzz term for communism. It's a buzz term for redistribution. Redistribution means stealing from you to give to someone else. Listen to me. No system is perfect, but there isn't a system of economic growth anywhere on planet Earth that can match the wealth and prosperity development of capitalism. That's a fact, and you're a freaking moron.

If you think other words, get the hell off my show. You're too stupid to watch me. Go somewhere else. Go watch the Young Turks. That's a fact.

Now, of course, in order to sell this bullshit, communists, communists, communists like Kamala, freaking communists like Kamala, what do they do? They've got to sell you on this line that, my gosh, some people are born with disadvantages, so you've got to steal from others to give to them.

And then you hear this if you're a dopey person, a stupid person who's susceptible to communist ideas, and you're like, yeah, that's right. Some people are born with privileges. Yeah, some people are. And a lot of people who get really wealthy and successful aren't. Folks, my father was a plumber. That's a fact. He was a building inspector. And he's a good man.

And he busted his ass to give me opportunities. You know where my mother worked? Goldman Sachs, right, Dan? No, finest supermarket, the checkout counter, for $3 an hour. Why should I have to give my earnings that I busted my ass for, or anyone else, forget me, to someone else who didn't earn them?

I don't know how they're going to do it exactly, but there was a raid recently on two specific figures who have done some commentary with a Russia-based network. They're going to somehow, I believe, tie that and the arrest of the Telegram CEO to some fake, phony Russian effort again to steal the election. I know what you're thinking. There's no way they're going to go back to Russiagate Part 7.
The Dan Bongino Show

Yes, they will. Because the media, I promise, will cover for them. Don't tell me what they won't do. Tell me what they did. Because what they did, the past is prologue. They will do again. Here's what I mean. In addition to the Telegram CEO, who is, I'm almost 100% certain, going to be tied to some Russiagate fake story again. And you got the flag in the chat. They're also starting to panic.

They're starting to realize, if Kamala Harris is really up seven points in this poll we just saw coming out today, which is ridiculous. Again, I'm not a red wave guy, as you know. I don't buy any of this Kamala Harris BS at all. This is all astroturf, folks. There is zero chance she is up seven nationally. Zero. Zero. If they were up by that amount, they would not be panicking like this.

Cornel West is a very, very far left guy. Extremely far left guy. You may have seen him on Fox and other CNN networks and elsewhere. He's been around forever. Cornel West is running too. Well, his name is on the Michigan ballot, a state that if Kamala Harris is up and you believe the polls, I don't. If you do, she's only up by a little and it's within the margin of error.

So the Democrats remarkably are trying to pull Cornel West's name from the ballot because he's liberal and may pull from Kamala Harris while simultaneously keeping RFK on the ballot to siphon votes from Trump. Here's Cornel West in a media hit. directly saying that someone's been offering to pay off some of his campaign debt to make sure he gets off the ballot. You want to talk about collusion?

The Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, is denying RFK's request to remove his name from the ballot. But just attempted to remove Cornel West from the ballot, losing a court case, she's now appealing. Sounds to me like election interference. You see what she's doing, right? I mean, I'm sorry to misstate the obvious, but Cornel West is a very far left liberal.
