Chapter 2: What technical challenges are faced by the podcast?

10.847 - 34.939 Dan Bongino

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.

52.821 - 77.697 Dan Bongino

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.

78.417 - 102.203 Dan Bongino

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.

120.131 - 135.743 Dan Bongino

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.

136.463 - 155.966 Dan Bongino

177.523 - 191.115 Dan Bongino

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.

Chapter 3: How does Scott Jennings challenge CNN narratives?

362.514 - 365.975 Scott Jennings

Are you suggesting that the president is not the commander-in-chief of the military?

0

365.995 - 381.639 CNN Panelist 2

I am suggesting that the president is going to put in charge somebody who is going to contravene the Constitution. And at some near point, this conversation will look very silly for you because it would be obvious. And right now, you're gaslighting. But when we get to the actual rubber of the road of this, it will be clear.

0

381.799 - 394.026 Scott Jennings

I'm interested in this conversation. He's going to put someone in charge who will contravene the Constitution. Like, who? What do you mean by that? The president is in charge of the military, is he not? You said he's going to put someone in charge of the military?

0

394.046 - 397.347 Abby Phillips

The president is in charge of the military. That is how it works.

0

397.367 - 418.037 Scott Jennings

He was elected president. We, according to the Constitution, vest all executive authority in a president. And the concept that the military should be an independent agency or that the bureaucracy should resist the political leadership of this government is extraordinarily dangerous. That's literally not what we said. I'm just repeating back to you your own words.

421.482 - 449.686 Dan Bongino

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.

449.706 - 469.356 Dan Bongino

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.

469.396 - 493.786 Dan Bongino

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.

494.146 - 511.476 Dan Bongino

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.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the cabinet meeting prayer?

1187.592 - 1206.877 Dan Bongino

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.

0

1207.818 - 1229.128 Dan Bongino

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.

0

1229.429 - 1252.903 Dan Bongino

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.

0

1253.024 - 1272.272 Dan Bongino

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.

0

1272.452 - 1293.44 Dan Bongino

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.

1293.96 - 1313.812 Dan Bongino

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... We are on the path, ladies and gentlemen, to almost certain mathematical bankruptcy if we don't course correct quick. And the proof of life email. What's that? Stay tuned. Are you one of those yo-yo dieters?

1313.852 - 1329.344 Dan Bongino

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.

1329.825 - 1348.53 Dan Bongino

Break free of that up and down diet pattern. That's a reason doctors created lean. Lean, it's a supplement. I used it. It was fantastic. The results, it's not an injection. You don't need a prescription. The science behind lean is impressive. It's studied natural ingredients, target weight loss in three powerful ways. Lean helps maintain healthy blood sugar.

1349.01 - 1372.498 Dan Bongino

It helps control appetite and cravings, and it helps burn fat by converting fat into energy. If you're tired of losing weight and gaining it back, if you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace, lean was created for you.

2180.991 - 2197.949 Dan Bongino

The sponsors pay to keep the show free, and we appreciate you guys staying tuned there. Folks, Jasmine Crockett has been the gift that keeps on giving up in Congress. Some of the stuff she says is borderline ridiculous. I mean, sometimes you have to wonder if this is a comedy act or not.

0

2198.55 - 2212.215 Dan Bongino

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.

2214.241 - 2237.802 CNN Panelist 2

Instead, we're pushing conspiracy theories, and some of them are killing people. It's the same thing that we have coming out of Doge. It's the reason that people are dying. It's the reason that farmers are losing their farms, because we continue to peddle conspiracy theories. It is time for us to say, Mr. President, guess what? Russia invaded Ukraine. Can we at least agree on that one?

0

2238.749 - 2258.155 CNN Panelist 2

Facts matter. Y'all, this is literally potentially putting us into an international crisis. We may be heading towards the next world war because we have a president that wants to pal around with Putin and wants to do everything to make him feel good, including lying about who invaded who.

2259.71 - 2285.307 Dan Bongino

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...

2286.614 - 2308.661 Dan Bongino

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

2309.201 - 2330.629 Dan Bongino

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.

2330.649 - 2357.111 Dan Bongino

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.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the national debt?

2907.974 - 2920.6 Dan Bongino

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.

2931.648 - 2933.449 Abby Phillips

Yes, in Florida, Miami, Florida.

2933.669 - 2935.811 CNN Panelist 2

No, I mean like what branch? Like what are you doing?

2936.671 - 2939.253 Abby Phillips

Oh, Department of Human Services.

2939.493 - 2944.777 CNN Panelist 2
