Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?

2.842 - 21.575 Dan Bongino

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, the things that makes the golden rules the golden rules is that they're evergreen. But I thought you just said they were gold. Can it be gold and green at the same time? You get the point. They apply no matter what.

21.695 - 42.073 Dan Bongino

And something we haven't brought up in a while because the campaign portion of the Donald Trump presidency is over for good. This is his second term, right? is the snapshots and soundbites and the idea of contrast. Folks, political battles are always going to be snapshots and soundbites. You're seeing it up on Capitol Hill right now. Got Bobby Kennedy up there.

0

42.654 - 59.41 Dan Bongino

We'll cover that tomorrow, a little bit today on the radio show. But... Just some mild fireworks going on as people tell Bobby Kennedy all kinds of things they think he said and said. So just this is how it works. But snapshots and soundbites, and these senators know it, right? But contrasts matter too.

0

59.91 - 72.522 Dan Bongino

Contrasts matter because people tend to see things differently depending on the background and the context. The diamond and the black background. I use the example all the time. Like, wow, that has some real luster to it.

74.332 - 95.216 Dan Bongino

The contrast between Kareem Jean-Pierre and what we saw yesterday at the White House briefing with Caroline Leavitt, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the sharpest I've seen in the history of White House spokespeople. What a briefing yesterday. America's in a new direction right now, and there are political lessons here. But there was a lot yesterday.

95.696 - 113.521 Dan Bongino

The drone answer, a whole bunch of stuff came out. Got a ton of questions on that. Big show today. Hey, I count on Dream Powder to help me wind down, wake up, refresh, and energize.

Hey, by the way, also, today's show brought to you by Field of Greens, one of my favorite supplements. You resolve to get healthier this year, great. How do you do it? Supplements? Well, a lot of those green fruit and vegetable powders, they're crap. They're a bunch of extracts. Who knows how long this stuff's sitting around? Has it been fresh? Is it fresh? You don't know. Was it doctor-selected?

134.301 - 151.309 Dan Bongino

Field of Greens is different. You know why? They make a better health promise. makes it radically different. Listen to this. Enjoy a delicious Field of Greens drink every day. Just put a scoop, wild berry, lemon, lime, whatever it is, in your favorite drink. Put it in water if you want. Doesn't matter. It tastes good. And your doctor will notice your improved health or your money back.

151.329 - 168.397 Dan Bongino

You can't beat that. How in the world can Field of Greens promise better health? Because each fruit and vegetable was doctor-selected for a specific health benefit. There's a heart health group, lung and kidney groups, metabolism, even healthy weight. One drink a day is all it takes. I take two. Your call. You look and feel healthier with more energy fast.

Chapter 2: How does Dan Bongino compare Karoline Leavitt to KJP?

1514.559 - 1533.07 Dan Bongino

Don't believe that's the whole story. 3% too. I think somebody's keeping something from the Trump team. Or if the Trump team knows it's something that they have to handle behind closed doors. Folks, that's okay. That's okay too. As long as I know they're handling it. You may disagree. I want to know. I don't need to know everything if they're handling it behind closed doors.

0

1533.251 - 1553.689 Dan Bongino

And we can be assured they're handling it. But the story's just... It's just they're totally conflicting statements. All right, moving on, because I could spend all day on this. You know, I've been obsessed with this drone story because I've written books on the threat from the sky, both the Secret Service with our FBI, our national security and everything.

0

1553.909 - 1569.398 Dan Bongino

And I think there's a lot more coming on this on the future. I don't think that's the end of it. I skipped this story because I got too excited about the drone thing. And luckily, Justin corrected me and said, bro, put all this work cut together over these segments. You're going to get this in there. This was huge news yesterday.

1569.818 - 1593.312 Dan Bongino

Thank you, Caroline Leavitt and the Donald Trump team for promises made, promises kept. Do you guys remember during the campaign? They said we are opening up the White House press room. The White House Media Association people over there lost their minds. We don't need podcasters and influencers. We don't give a shit. We're old media. We're in charge. You're not in charge. This is a Bain moment.

1593.332 - 1628.627 Dan Bongino

Do you feel like you're in charge? Because you're not. We're in charge now. We're the media. North-south position. It's actually, if you know how to use it in jujitsu, it can be, but it can get ugly. It can get ugly fast. North-south position, if you find yourself that on the bottom in jujitsu, you're going to wonder why you started playing jujitsu. Right, Michael?

1628.647 - 1651.243 Dan Bongino

You're like, how did this happen? How did this happen? We're in charge now. So Caroline Leavitt said this yesterday at the White House press podium. They are going to dedicate two seats for the people who are really the media now. Influencers, podcasters, and people in the new digital space that are dominating the messaging wars. Thank you, Caroline. Thank you, White House press office.

1651.263 - 1654.746 Dan Bongino

Thank you, President Trump. Promises made, promises kept. Take a listen.

1655.52 - 1675.467 Caroline Leavitt

We're also opening up this briefing room to new media voices who produce news-related content and whose outlet is not already represented by one of the seats in this room. We welcome independent journalists, podcasters, social media influencers, and content creators to apply for credentials to cover this White House.

1677.667 - 1697.193 Dan Bongino

Yes! Thank you, Trump team. Some of you may have caught it on the radio show yesterday. Where the great producer Jim Verde, who we love. Look at that. I didn't even put that in the show. Producer Jim, you watching the show right now? He's like, no, I can't watch. Yeah, he's watching it. He's like, no, I'm producing your show.
