The Dan Bongino Show
Trump Baffles Lib Media By Actually Answering Questions (Ep. 2396)
Wed, 08 Jan 2025
Trump held a presser yesterday and answered a lot of the media's questions about the viral ideas he has come out with, and the reporters could not handle it. In this episode, I've got a follow up to the J6 bomber scandal as well as more information on all of Trump's promises for when he gets in office.

Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. You know, folks, we talk about the incompetence of bureaucracies and government officials all the time, and it's for a very simple reason. Governments are run by third parties.
Third parties, you know, you have you, you have, say, a doctor and then you have government that gets in the way if they pay for medicine. The third party has the least amount of skin in the game. You all get that. I know you're smart.
But to the liberals who may be tuning into my show today who don't understand basic human dynamics, sociology, and psychology, if you were paying a doctor, the doctor has an interest in giving you good service so you don't shit-mouth the guy on Yelp. You have an interest in living so you go to a good doctor.
Chapter 2: How does government incompetence affect healthcare?
If you put the government in charge of health care, they give zero shits at all about what the doctor does or you do. They just want you out of their hair and to get reelected. Why am I bringing this up at the beginning of the show?
Because why these people in these liberal places continue to accept the suffering, wildfires, crime, people being set on fire, of governments that have destroyed their lives despite the government having zero interest in fixing anything, is just stunning that you're willing to lose everything over government incompetence. And yes, this is the time to talk about it. Unbelievable, man.

We're going to talk about something Trump said yesterday also, that... Pretty much confirms what I've been telling you about this pipe bomber FBI scandal, too. It's going to be the biggest story of our time. You heard it here first. Hey, we're in crunch time right now. A new administration is going to be sworn in.
But as great as that is, it could also mean our enemies have days left to stir up trouble. Could mean a cyber attack, an invasion, God forbid, a nuclear strike. They're always sitting there waiting for emergencies happen, and that's why there are emergencies. You don't see them coming. I'm not taking any chances. I haven't.

Oh, nice. Look, it works. Man, folks, listen, I'm going to be straight with you because I don't like messing around and you guys are part of the show too. We are seriously at, right guys, like super crunch time for moving into the new studio. Like now we're, it was years, then months, and now we're down to weeks, potentially days.
It feels like it may actually happen now, but wouldn't you guys agree? It's almost like there's like a Cyberdyne system built into our computer that knows we're about to leave. You ever see Terminator? It's like it's become self-aware, right? And it's so pissed off we're leaving, it's now messing with us everywhere. Right? It's like everything is like breaking down at the same time.

Chapter 3: Why are wildfires a recurring issue in California?
Actually, I take that by a pair of Doc Martin boots that magically survived. I don't know what they're made of. Who knows? Maybe they're made of some fireproof material. I have no idea, but they managed to survive. That was it. They're not wearable because they smell like smoke, but it was the only thing I have. All my family pictures are from friends.
So I know exactly what it's like to lose everything. Exactly. And you know what? It sucks. And you know what the worst part about living through a fire is? and losing everything is you don't even know what you lost until you need it. Anyone in the chat ever been through this? I hope you haven't, but if you have, chime in. You know what I'm talking about, right?
It'll be a year later and you'll be like, oh my gosh, you know, I need my diploma for, oh yeah, that burned too. You'll go for a job interview. They'll ask you for your diploma. Back in the day when you had to produce a hard copy, now you can just digitally do it. You'll be looking for, you'll be like, you know what?
You'll be watching some movie and you'll be like, oh man, I had a book about that movie. It was signed, but oh yeah, that's gone too. My mom, you know, obviously passed, but she bought me a Mickey Mantle card when we went to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It was the most expensive thing she ever bought me. It was like $150 back then. It was a late one. It was like 1965 or something.
I remember thinking, man, that Mickey Mantle, oh yeah, I lost that too. People are going to lose everything. I'm just asking you, I'm not telling you again Republicans are the solution to all your problems, guys, in L.A. or anywhere else. I'm simply telling you that liberal Democrats are the cause of your problems. I'm not telling you Republicans are going to be able to fix them.
I'm just telling you if the cause of your problems is this, at least excise that problem and try something else. If it doesn't work, you can always go back to the problem. There's no downside for it at all. I was going to play this video the other day, and I got to tell you, I'm glad it didn't fit into the show because it fits in right here perfectly.
Showing you again, the incompetence of government. Think about what you do for government. You work your ass off every single day. Every single person in this chat, you work your ass off every day to feed your family, right? You give government anywhere from 20 to 40% or more of your money. Think about that.
Four out of every 10 hours for a lot of you between state, federal, local government, property taxes, school taxes, four out of every 10 hours you work to support government. They can't educate your kids. In liberal cities, they can't keep you from being burned on the subway. They can't actively do fire control so your house doesn't burn down.
They're totally unprepared in disaster response when something happens like in Asheville, the flooding in Asheville. They can't do anything right, and yet you work nearly half your life to support these assholes in government.

Chapter 4: What did Trump say about Greenland and Panama?
I hate when people exaggerate their closest to look like they're freaking players. We used to call that in the Secret Service, big league in people. Hey, look at me. I'm just telling you, I've got a pretty decent sense from the conversations we've had that are limited of who the guy is. He is looking at this completely like a spreadsheet, which is the only way to look at it.
He's saying a couple things. We are the world's freaking policemen, and we have been forever. I don't even like that we are. Let me be clear. I'm not making a value judgment on that. I'm just telling you, and you know it, it's true. We're all over the world. They want us to protect everyone. Save the kids in Darfur, get involved in Afghanistan, fight the terrorists here.
Whether you agree or disagree with that, the U.S. military has been effectively the NYPD police force for the entire globe since post-World War II. We just have. Do you have any idea how many of our family members are dead, have lost limbs, have been mentally and emotionally scarred from fighting wars for other people's freedom? I want you to remember a name for me. The name's Gregory Ambrose.
You may be asking, who's Gregory Ambrose? I'll tell you. He's my uncle. Dan, how do you know him? I don't. He's dead. He died in Vietnam. He was killed in Thu Duc, shot in the back, saving his friends. He got the Bronze Star with a V device on it for doing it. You can read his story on those Vietnam wall sites. I've read it on the air many times. Never met him.
He was my mother's brother, obviously. He was killed. The day he was supposed to come back, they had the welcome home signs. The day he was supposed to come back, two soldiers showed up instead. My grandmother was never the same. He died in Vietnam, not Toledo. You have any idea how much blood we've shed on foreign soil?
Please explain to me, the liberals who lost their minds about this yesterday, why it's so ridiculous that we should go to Greenland and say, hey, we have a strategic interest in some high level of cooperation. They don't have to become a state. Become like the Virgin Islands or something like that, or Guam, some protectorate. We could engage in a common currency, common fiscal policy.
Give them an advisory, some advisory position, put some... Put some leadership over there. We could develop an expansive military base for intelligence, surveillance, recognizance over there. You realize the national defense implications? Do you have any idea how many rare earth minerals there are? What do they have? Can you look it up? How many residents do they have? Is it 57,000 or something?
$57,000.
You could give them $500,000 each. We'd still get the place at a bargain. You could. We're giving away money everywhere to the whole world. We're flying people in from everywhere else. What is so crazy about this idea? Don't tell me about your freaking emotions. That is a freaking awesome point. I did not even... Shame on me.
