Transcript of Christmas Special: Bongino's Best Segments

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Hope you all are getting ready for Christmas. Tomorrow is that magical day. I still have some young children, so for me, it's always special.

We've got a producers' Picks show lined up for you today. You're going to love it.

We get to our first spot here. The problem with social media and other so-called free services out there is that they aren't really free, are they? You pay for them by letting these huge tech companies record your activity and sell it to advertisers. If you don't want to be the product that's bought and sold, you need to start protecting your privacy online. That's what I do. I use ExpressVPN to do it. Your Internet service provider can see every website you visit. Then third-party data brokers can track your activity through your IP address to build up an enormously detailed profile of you. But because I use ExpressVPN, 100% of my online activity is rerouted through secure encrypted services. It means my ISP has no record of my activity and has nothing to sell. Expressvpn also hides my IP address, which means data brokers can't track me with it and can't assemble a profile. I partner with ExpressVPN because I want all of my viewers to have access to this important privacy protection, which is why right now you can get an extra three months free when you go to expressvpn. Com/bongino. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S, expressvpn. Com/bongino, to get an extra three months totally free.

Now, for some of the most electric, producer-selected clips of the year, check this out. Folks, this was hilarious. Everybody was emailing me last night.

Hey, Dan, did you see this clip on CNN? Tapper and Van Jones were talking about cutesy time.

I swear to you, I thought it was bullshit. I thought people were messing with me. I'm like, They wouldn't be talking about cutesy time being over.

What the hell would CNN be interested in cutesy time for? The clip, however, is real. Took me a few minutes to find it.

I'm usually pretty good, lickety split, but I don't actually have CNN on my bingo card. So it took me a second. I got my spots for Fox and OANN and even MSNBC.

But let me just say in advance before I play this clip.

It's about me and potentially the Secret Service. You know the whole story. I've already addressed it. I've not spoken to President Trump about that at all, folks, at all. It's come up on podcast interviews. Of course, he's got a thousand things on his plate. I'm just going to leave that there. However, the President asks you do something. He has not. I just want to be crystal clear on that. This is really important because everybody's talking about this like this is some, especially the way CNN is addressing it. So I haven't heard anything like this.

However, I want to say in advance, I'm not mad at all, and I'm not even remotely bitter about Van Jones and Tapper talking about me and quietly taking a shot at me.

They barely mentioned the fact that I had a decade plus in the Secret Service, five years in the presidential protection division, was with the NYPD, was a Republican nominee for Senate House. Not that you got to kiss my ass, but it's always like the right wing personalities. If the only thing I've ever done is politics in my life, whatever. I'm not mad about it. These guys are opinion people, and they talk about the news and the stories in the news. So I'm fair game like anyone else. And in the scope of It just really wasn't that bad. I mean, it was like they were taking heavy duty pot shots, but it is funny.

Cutsy time is over. It's gone national.

Well, it was on CNN, so it's on national. But he checked this out. It's pretty funny.

Cnn is reporting that right wing media personality and former Secret Service agent Dan Don Gino. By the way, like years ago, we would have him on to talk about Secret Service issues on this show. He is being considered for a Secret Service director. Here's the sum of what he said on his podcast today on how he views the new administration.

It's Cutsy time is over and we led the way.

A lot of people are recognizing that, folks.

Cutsy time is over. I'll say again today on Wednesday, people are policy and it is time for us because we are the news to double down on the MAGA agenda.

Van, you're going to have to stop being so adorable because cutesy time is over. No, but in all sincerity, that does reflect an attitude of so many of these pics, which is it's time to really, really shake up Washington. A lot of people think, a lot of Trump supporters think that he went with establishment pics last time, and that was a horrible idea. He wasn't able to really drain the swamp, and now that's what they're doing. You have to believe a lot of things that are not true for this to make sense. What is the problem you're trying to solve with our intelligence services? We get a chance to walk around here and not have bombs blowing up all over the place because our intelligence services are doing a fantastic job keeping us safe.

If you think that sending a wrecking ball through our-Okay.

Now, I deserve the chance to respond, right?

Like I said, I'm not mad. I'm not bitter. It's a news story. I'm fair game like anyone else.

But so are you guys, right? Jake, Van, you guys are in the public space, so you're fair game, too.

I get the chance to respond. So what's the problem, Van? We're trying to solve. I should say, we, I'm not in the administration.

I have not been asked, but assume I was. Say I was the secret service director sitting there with Ratcliffe and Tulsi and hopefully Cashashmatel at FBI.

The problem we're trying to solve, you completely right over your head missed. I love how he says, Did you guys hear this? Michael, he goes, You know the intelligence community out there and all these other people.

By the way, Secret Service isn't part of the intelligence community. They consume intelligence. They don't produce it.

However, they do consume a lot of intelligence because they want to make sure they can get the threat right. We are not completely safe. There's a major war in the Middle East that broke out because our intelligence community missed a 9/11-style attack in Israel. There have been terror attacks where people have been on the FBI's radar, and they missed it. Why? Because the FBI has been too busy. This is what the CNN bubble looks like. You may have missed these stories, Van. Did you miss the story about the FBI and the Mom's for Liberty, the FBI and the pro-life movement? These are threats to the United States. Grandma's in the gulag for a trespassing charge on January sixth. This is the security threat that's going to keep us here. Go get grandma. Go get her. Did you miss all this? I didn't even get to the serious stuff. Did you miss the FBI spying on Donald Trump? Van, I'll give you a little homework. Look up the name Azra Turck. Go look that up.

You can read about it in the books I about if you want.

Go get it from the library.

Here, thank you, guys. I didn't even ask him to throw this.

Just the news. Justice Department investigated the Conservatives' Mom's for Liberty in the same manner as the Ku Klux Klan. Again, did you guys miss all this? Why is Trump taking a wrecking ball to the status quo? Because the status quo has failed. There's a thing called opportunity cost, Van. You waste your time spying on presidential candidates and conservative groups and T Party groups with the IRS and other things. That's time not spent trying to intercept a major terror attack in the Middle East. That does involve us because we've been dragged into it. The same Death to America crowd was involved in that. The same people who told Biden, the intelligence community, Oh, Putin's not going to invade Ukraine. They missed that one, too. So forget me, pull me out of the story. But cutesy time is over because that's what cutesy time gave you. It gave you a bunch of bullshit investigations. That's why President Trump is reaching out to people who are actual door kickers. I just want to say again, we have not spoken about this. This story, like yesterday on CNN, a whole bunch of reporters are reaching out for me for comment.

Why isn't he responding? Because there's nothing to respond about. What do you want me to respond and say, I don't know what you're talking about? By the way, I don't really speak to reporters anyway about that stuff, politics.

I don't talk to a report, especially left wing ones.

Conservatives. There you go. Cutsy time is over. Can someone send a shirt to Jake? Store. Bongino. Com. Our proceeds go to charity, so don't worry. It's not like some money making thing we're doing for us. Store it up on judo. Com. Somebody mail Jake and send Van. Hey, cutesy time is over. Probably extra small. Send them over.

Cutesy time is over. Maybe they'll pin one up in their office.

We have all sizes in stock. Someone make a donation over to CNM.

I saw that last night. Again, I'm not mad at these guys. I'm part of the news. I'm fair game. I don't have a thick skin, but I do realize that being in the business. When you're part of the news, you're part of the news.

You don't want to be part of the news, stop being a wuss and don't be a public figure, okay? End the story.

Go do something else. And I like doing what I'm doing, so it's part of the business.

Dear liberals, we are always right. What is two thumbs and is always correct, along with his little Bonjino army, which isn't so little anymore. This guy, by the way, thank you for making us, according to Triton's ranker in October.

I can't believe it.

The number three podcast in the United States. Never saw that coming. Thank you, guys. Love the Bonchino Army. You guys kick ass and take names.

Absolutely adore you guys.

We are always right. Why is our army not so little anymore and growing? Because it's fact-based, the show. We've told the Libbs, we've warned them a thousand times, your fascination with identity, politics, and division is going to catch up with you.

Why?

Do you remember in the chat? Folks in the chat, do you remember?

Oh, there we go. Back up. Look at him. He got 125, too. Nice. All right, we're fully back up.

Thank you, Chris, for fending off another massive attack.

These guys are so good. Boom, boom.

Done. Just like that. We told you a long time ago that the cannibalism theory was going to take over. The cannibalism theory in the left, for those who are new to the show, is this. Conservatives, the MAGA crowd, libertarians, and Tea Party people started giving Liberals the double-barrel middle finger with cancel culture a long time ago. They just pound right through it. Don't say masks don't work. What do MAGA people do? They go to Twitter the next day, and all caps they put, Now, masks definitely don't work. We don't care. So eventually, they've had to dial back because they know they're wasting their time. But there's power for them in canceling people people, okay? So when they can't cancel Conservatives and MAGA people because we just don't listen, we flip them off, they were going to turn on themselves. And this is what's happening with identity politics with the left. If you happen to be Black, right? You've been told by the media forever, right? The left, man, they're looking out for your interests against those horrible Republicans. You're now finding out that it's actually the Republicans that have been looking out for your interests against the horrible Democrats.

Because if you're Black and you say, Hey, I'm a father who happens to be Black, And the left told me, I'm a big interest group. They're looking out for me. But I don't want a man in the bathroom with my 12-year-old daughter, a man, an actual man. The left will then attack you. You get what they're doing? They can't attack us because we're just going to hammer ahead. We've never wanted men in a women's bathroom. But now they're eating each other alive. And I tell you, man, I am buying my ticket in the front row to see it. This is glorious. Please keep this up, begging you, please keep this up. Here's a tweet from some Communist, Tim Miller.

He's at the Bullwark, which is a commy site.

Is it wrong to suggest that Sarah McBride, she is the new trans member of Congress, should follow Mike Johnson in the men's room and stand right behind him at the urinal at the next opportunity?

Tim, that's a great idea.

You tell the trans member of Congress, Sarah McBride, who's a man, tell Sarah McBride to follow everyone. This is working out I'm dead serious, folks. I'm not kidding. You guys have given such great advice at the Bullwark. The Bullwark, which is like a commy site, which has been wrong about everything. Every significant political trend of our time, the Bullwark Mark. Have they not, guys? I've been on the wrong side of every one of them. Please take Tim's advice and make Sarah McBride and the trans issue the focus of everything in your next term. Please do that. We're actually begging to do it. Your fascination with division, cannibalism, and eating each other alive has done so well for you. You lost every single swing state despite having every single lever of power behind you. Mainstream media, academia, entertainment, even Taylor Swift. And you got your asses kicked because your issues suck.

You definitely got to keep up more of this, dude. Did you guys see this clip? Tell me when I sent this over, you guys weren't in love right away. I never put clips like this in the beginning of the show. Never. This one's right in the beginning. You see this lunatic, Jasmine Crockett? She's a member of Congress, obviously a Democrat. This one, I'm not sure about her psychological status. I'm really not. Here she is. She's a member of Congress paid probably close to, if not more than $200,000 a year. She has lobbyists kissing her ass every day.

She will never, ever be middle class for the rest of her life.

Lobbyists will pay her. She'll be giving speeches. She is living in the lifestyle. She is a one percenter.

Here she is complaining about being oppressed, and again, blaming the white man, which is by its very definition, racist. She's categorizing a group of people according to their race without knowing any of them and basically saying, Look at you guys. You guys here's Jasmine Crockett, please keep this stuff up. This identity politics is such a winner for you guys on the left. I a fun to pack.

Check this out. You can then misuse words like oppression. There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are going to go and work. We are going to steal your lives. We are going to rape your lives. That didn't happen. That is oppression. We didn't ask to be here. We're not the same migrants that you all constantly come up against. We didn't run away from home. We were stolen. So, yeah, we are going to sit here and be offended when you want to sit here and act like...

And don't let it escape you.

That it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us people of color on this side of the aisle that you all are the ones being oppressed, that you all are the ones that are being harmed. Folks I'm going to have a look at this, please. Can someone add folks in a chat? I'm glad to see everyone's back good. Yeah, right. Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em, Rob. I said, just saw it in a chat.

Can someone in the chat get like Jasmine cracket pack and just buy the URL.

Com? We need this woman in leadership on the left. We need to make sure that this woman is a potential presidential candidate in the future.

Lefties, please keep this up. Jasmine, I suggest you and Tim Miller get together over coffee in a Starbucks, have a macchiatto or whatever.

It's a left-wing place. You guys would be You guys would be great together.

Get together the agenda for the Democrats midterm platform. Make it about following women and men into bathrooms when you're the opposite sex.

It's a great idea.

And keep telling white men and women across America, Busting their ass to stay ahead in this country with inflation, that they're somehow oppressing you while you're paying $200,000 a year to sit in Congress and have someone kiss your ass all day. Yes. Keep it up, Jasmine. We love it. The judge has ruled. Folks, in the chat. You think it's a great idea? Get this woman in leadership. Make her the minority leader. I don't care. Crocket Harris, 2028. Gee's looking into it now. They're going to put a campaign signed together. I want this woman running for president.

This has worked so well. Folks, this stuff, this is going to be the death of the Democrat Party.

But do you understand? Dan, stop telling them.

Listen to me, brothers and sisters. Listen to your boy. I'm in a really good mood today. So much good stuff going on.

So much.

I am in an amazing mood today. Couldn't wait to do the show. Listen to your boy here, please. It doesn't freaking matter how many times we cover this stuff and make fun of them for doing it.

They cannot control themselves. Do you understand that? I mean, it sounds like an asshole. They can't stop because they don't know anything else. Jasmine Crockett doesn't know anything about anything. Either does Tim Miller, or else. His predictions would have been correct. He's been on the wrong side of everything along with this entire team. They don't know anything. All they know is insult division politics and identity politics. They can't stop. Hope you're enjoying this show. Quick break for you here.

I've been using the Bone Charge infrared blanket for a long time. 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. Helped me with some pain relief, too. It worked for me. It was incredible. 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 in 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. Paula has been using it to help improve her skin's texture and reduce inflammation. The results are fantastic. Just check her out on my Instagram. Her skin's smoother, looks more vibrant, the overall tone is evened out. It's like having a mini spa treatment right at home. If you're thinking of trying them out, you're in luck.

We've got some more absolute fire producers pics clips coming up for you right now. 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, 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. I said bottom line of front, so I hate teases because they're for morons. 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. I have some role in it.

Could be wrong.

I'm throwing it out there, and I'm basing on a few different things. Let's dig in, receipts It doesn't matter.

Okay? Congressman Jeff Van Drew will be on my radio show later. He represents an area in New Jersey where they've had this issue, right?

He was a former Democrat, now a Republican.

He'll be on the radio show later today.

If you want to tune in, you can check it out on Rumble and Locals. The last hour, of course, is for local subscribers.

We're doing a conversion, by the way, soon over to Rumble Premium, 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, a Chinese spy balloon drifted across US 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. Gaps in our airspace 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. 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 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.

You see, Trump National Golf Club isn't far from the Piccatinny Arsenal military base, which some thought may be behind the drones. But the base tells Fox News, While the source and cause of these aircraft operating in our area remain unknown, we can confirm that they are not the as a result of any Piccatinny Arsenal-related activities. Fox News also spoke with congressman Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey. He said it doesn't appear the pilots of these drones are breaking any laws, rules, or regulations. They're staying out of restricted airspace, which he says is an indication that they know what they're doing.

I do not believe it's the US military, and if it is, and if they're doing exercises, shame on them for the disorganized way they are doing it.

I I don't believe it is them.

I am hopeful it is not a foreign adversary, yet I do worry about that.

This will be a main topic of conversation at a house hearing on Capitol Hill today that starts at 2:00. Focused on the safety implications of drone technology. And congressman Van Drew tells Fox that the United States is behind, specifically China, with this technology and that we need to do a better job of defending against and integrating drones. Drone technology. We'll send it back to you, Dana.

Folks, the congressman in and around the area is, quote, hoping that the US is not behind this, 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. No matter what you say, you piss people off. You tell people it's aliens. They're like, you're a conspiracy theories. You tell people it's not 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. Here's where it sees... You're trying to induce panic. I'm not inducing shit. Panic kills. 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. Folks, Congress gets gets briefings on this stuff. 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.

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 Listen to the story, the footprints are all there. Here's another Congresswoman I know pretty well, Nicole Maliotakas. She represents the area, Northern New Jersey, New York, the Verrazzano Bridge, which if you know New York, you know the Verrazzano 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. Nicole Maliotakis, you would think would be one of the people like Van Drew who is getting some a briefing on what is going on over Here's Nicole Nalia Takis talking about the Verrazzano 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.

Last night, a constituent saw one of these Jones hovering over the Verrazzano Bridge, which connects Staten Island and Brooklyn. On one side of that, you have the Coast Guard base at Fort Wadsworth. On the other side of that, we have an army base in Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn. It is very concerning that they're choosing to to buy these things over, as Phil Murphy said, sensitive infrastructure or military installations. We deserve and demand answers.

We would expect our government agencies to have those answers for elected officials.

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 Maliya 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? 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 Can you 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 is not good. Here's Kareen 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 military does not know what to do with these things because they don't have any force plan. They got some 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 Let's just say, trust me on this show.

Please. There's more here. They don't know what to do. 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 military's got this thing figured it out at the leadership level?

You sure?

Because it's your national security at risk. Here's Karine 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.

There have been repeated drone sightings in the Northeast, especially in New Jersey.

These are not small drones. Some of them are pretty large. They're flying at low altitudes. They're flying in flocks. Has the President been briefed on this situation?

We are certainly aware. The President is aware. We're closely tracking the activity and coordinating closely with relevant agency, including DHS and FBI, to continue to investigate these incidents. I don't have anything beyond that to share. Obviously, this is something that DHS and FBI are tracking very, very closely, and so I would have to refer you to them directly. But aware, keeping an eye out and I'm looking into the incidents that you just mentioned. A couple still, though. But has the federal government ruled out that these are controlled by foreign entities? And do you know if they're conducting surveillance over these? So I cannot make any predictions or comments about that, specifically from here. This is something that DHS is looking at an FBI, so I would have to refer you to them. I don't have anything beyond that we're tracking this very closely. Obviously, we're all aware of the incidents that have been reported. I'm not going to go into what they could be or could not be from here. That is something that obviously is being looked at as those respective agencies that I-When was the President briefed on this? I don't have a timeline, but he certainly has been made aware of this.

You don't have a timeline, but he's been made aware of it.

You just don't remember when. It sounds like 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, we're in a panic now. We have a powerful military. We're not going to be invaded tomorrow by aliens or China.

Forget the panic line.

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. 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 nine 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, Kareen Jean-Pierre, here's the key line. 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.

Holman Jenkins at the Wall Street Journal has been reporting on this forever, forever.

However, he's a great reporter.

This is not new, this story about airspace violations. He's going to explain to you in this piece exactly what I've been telling you, that there's a whole lot going on here, and they're afraid of Donald Trump and Pete Hegset coming into the Pentagon as Commander and Chief and Defense Secretary going, What the hell has 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 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 PP hoax and a fake tape and spying on Donald Trump. You don't know what's flying over the skies in the northeast of the United States. Come on, bro. Do better. Watch this.

Fbi in our Newark field office, along with the state and local partners there, the bureau is actively investigating the situation you mentioned, just the unexplained sighting of drone activity over that part of New Jersey, including proximity to sensitive sites and areas of concern. We do not attribute that to an individual or a group yet. We're investigating, but I don't have an answer of who's responsible for that, of one or more people that are responsible for those drone flights. But we're actively investigating. What the Bureau has done to aid our state and local partner is what we generally do, enlist the help of the inter-agency, enlist the help of the public. There's a tip line there, that 1-800 call FBI, tips. Fbi for information from the public that could help us resolve this. It is concerning. Is the public at risk?

Is public safety at risk? Are we concerned that there are Are there nefarious intentions that could cause either a national security or a public safety incident that would put Americans at risk?

There's nothing that is known that would lead me to say that, but we just don't know, and that's the concerning part.

He just doesn't know if the public's at risk, and that's the concerning part? Yeah, that is the concerning The interesting part. Folks, you know I don't cover these click-based-y 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. 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, congresswoman, I don't know, from New Jersey, Maliya Takis, congresswoman, New York, New Jersey area, New York, New Jersey area, I don't know.

Kareen Jean-Pierre, she doesn't know anything, said to the member. She's like, I don't know. That's not news of her.

You got FBI agent. Hey, man, I don't know. Does anybody know Justin Someone says, I don't know if anybody does.

I don't know either. I'm telling you, this is some foreign adversary who is scoping out something sensitive. The reason, by the way, it's a hotspot 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.

This is why I tell you, gas pedal down, bro. Gas pedal down, red line at our PM meter. Straight ahead. Push Tulsi through, Push RFK through. This transition team has been doing a great job, and definitely get Heggsett through. Get them through and let your Republican senators know we're watching, folks. We are watching. You want donations? You want volunteers? You want us to vote for you? You want a primary? We are watching. These are qualified candidates. Trump earned the right to pick his transition team. These people aren't criminals. These people aren't serial murderers. Trump sees something in him, and he has a vision of where he wants to government. The American people voted for it. He won the popular vote. Every swing state, it's time to get these people through. Now, the good news for all the senators on defense, I don't know if I'm going to vote for these colonies or not. Okay, well, we voted for you. It's a representative democracy to represent what we want, and this is what we want. We approve of the Trump transition. How do I know that? Because even CNN was forced to recognize the fact that the transition team from Biden to Trump that's happening right now is going just swimmingly.

Even CNN had to acknowledge it. Fake news network.

Check this out.

Take a look here. President Trump's transition net approval. You go back to November of 2016. Look at this. It was just a plus one point. Just a plus one point. That was Well, well, well below the historical norm. Look at where we are today. Significantly higher, plus 18 points. That's 17 points higher on the presidential transition net approval rating. The bottom line is this. If eight years ago, Americans were lukewarm Donald Trump. At this particular point, they're giving him much more of the benefit of the doubt. A lot more Americans are in love with this transition. This much more meets the historical norms where normally presidents get that boost coming out of their victory. And what we're seeing here is Donald Trump's presidential transition is getting a thumbs up, and dare I say, two thumbs up from the American people.

Thank you, by the way, everyone posts on the Twitter. I just checked again. I really appreciate it. This army is growing by the day. Thanksgiving week, 140,000.

We're not even halfway through the show yet. Listen, we've been ahead of this from the start. If the transition was so unpopular, then why isn't the transition so unpopular? The money ball rule, right? If he's a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good? The transition is popular because everything the media is telling you about the nominees is everything, everything, and nobody believes you, idiot. That's why Jim Van der Hey, Hi, Ho, whatever. That's why he's flipping out. He's screaming to the abyss. Yeah, the show's on fire today because I'm sick of assholes in the media. They scream into the abyss every time. People used to listen. Nobody's listening, and now they're pissed off because no one's listening.

Folks, Glenn Greenwald is another Rumble creator.

Glenn Greenwald We don't share a lot of political positions, but one thing I have always absolutely respected about Glenn is he's an actual journalist. He follows the facts. He's been way ahead of a lot of stories when some liberal reporters have pushed him in a different direction, and he is an absolute diehard diehard advocate for free speech and against censorship.

Diehard.

We should welcome those people. We don't have to agree with people on everything.

We don't.

Taxes, social welfare policies, we don't.

I mean, it's a constitutional Republic.

But there should be an overlapping of those circles, and in the middle should be a love for America and a love for constitutional rights. Glenn has that. Here is Glenn in one of the single best minutes you're going to hear diagnosing the problem they're going to have going forward. These MSNBC and fake news people as the extinction burst continues. Folks, they are really pissed. Cnn, MSNBC, The New York Times, and the Washington Post, that all the fake narratives have gone into the abyss. Like, This is Sparta kicking a guy down. That's where they're going. Nobody's listening anymore. The thing is, it's never, ever going to get better. I'm telling you, smile on Thanksgiving week. The best day the liberal media had was yesterday. The best day they had before that was the day before. It will ever, ever get any better for them. It is over. We have won, and now it's time to make the win, hit the gas pedal, and win by 18 horse lengths, freaking sea biscuit style. Watch Glenn Greenwald explain the death of the modern left wing commi media.

Check this out.

Is back in power. One of the things that has happened amazingly since Kama's loss is that the MSNBC audience, which is already tiny, has basically completely disappeared The number of people watching those shows when they're live in prime time with that big, gigantic corporate power behind them promoting it, it's less than a lot of YouTube shows. Oh, way, way. Yeah, including... I don't mean the cumulative audience of how many people watch a YouTube video at the end of the day. I just mean live watching. Dan Bongino's show has, I think Unrumbble, has five or six or seven times more viewers than MSNBC's prime time. This is on Rumbble, which a lot of people don't even know about, don't even watch. That audience is gone, in part because they feel disillusioned that the people they trusted who told them Trump was going to prison, the whole Trump family was going to prison, Trump could never win, he was going to be in jail before the election. All the women were going to rise up and vote for Kamala out of anger toward Trump. None of that happened. They're like, I've been watching this show every day for nothing.

None of it happened. None of it was true. That audience is gone, half out of disillusionment and anger, but half out of just checking out through impudence and helplessness.

Wait. T. O. Time out. It's a time out. It's a time out to the show. It's a freaking basketball game.

Congrats, Warned Tigers last night, by the way. Beaten to Iowa State. Janai Broome, tipping it in at the end. Nice.

I'm embarrassed. I got to call a TO, maybe a 22nd. I swear to you on my my life on every single thing that matters to me.

Strike me dead if I'm lying.

I did not, when I cut that clip, hear my name in there.

I'm not kidding. No, dad, it's humble. It is not. I swear to you. I'm listening to that, I'm going, Oh, shit.

He's talking about me in there, too.

I was so obsessed with the end to that that I did not even hear myself when I cut that clip.

Thank you, Glenn, for the compliment. Now I feel embarrassed. I feel like I'm putting it out there for me. I promise you, I promise you on My Integrity. I did not hear that.

It was the end of it that I love because I've been telling you this forever. Once you realize you've been lied to, not once or twice, but repeatedly, the PP hoax, The Spygate scandal, you were told was fake, but is real. The Hunter Biden laptop, the Mike Flynn attack by Joy Behar and others.

Remember that?

Once you've been lied to over and over, how do you I go back. I've been bringing this point up so often that I'm glad. I know Glenn has been on this forever. At what point do you say to yourself, I just want to hear the truth, because think about this.

Think about this. If this doesn't make sense, guys, tell me it doesn't make sense. You got to be the audience on Buzzman.

I get that the lies feel good.

Donald Trump is a Putin asset. If you're a crazy anti-Trump, right?

But there's a real material loss for you that you've been lied to. Hey, man, we got to lock this guy up.

He's a fraudster.

Then you weaponize government against him, and he wins, and you lose everything. At some point, you want to be told the truth. Does that make sense? You want to be prepared to not lose even if the facts are uncomfortable?

That reckoning is going to happen soon. Here's Tucker Carlson. He's on Clayton Morris' podcast talking about exactly the point Greenwell brought up, that their days are over.

The hegemonic monopolistic rule of the American psyche and zeitgeist of the day is over. Vanita La Musica, man, the song is over.

Check this out.

If there's a lesson of what happened do television and newspapers, print and legacy media. They died because they were corrupt. I mean, the business models changed, et cetera. There are ways to... They won't evolve. The people who work at NBC News will not have careers in journalism 10 years from now. The reason they won't is not because of technology. It's because they have no credibility because they're corrupt, they're liars. That's really the lesson. Corruption kills you, especially in a business predicated on trust, which is the media.

I get it.

I get it was comfortable to believe this stuff because everybody wants the bet noir. Everybody wants that beast that caused all their problems. It wasn't me. It wasn't me or It was my failures. It was the patriarchy. It was white privilege. Everybody who falls victim to their own shortcomings, everyone, good people, bad people, and different people, right? They want something or someone to blame. It's hard to look in the mirror and say, I didn't get it done because I didn't get it done. That's hard, folks. That's why liberalism is such an easy cop-out. The problem liberals are having now The police did it to you, the white man did it to you, the patriarchy did it to you. The problem they're having now is this woke bullshit is now costing them. It has a real material impact. They're losing their power. They're losing their jobs. You see this story about the DNC today in Fox? These staffers are all crying because they didn't get severance pay. What the hell did you think was going to happen? We want $25,000 checks. You lost. You got severed by the voters. They told you to beat it. This is having a real material cost.

And now, liberals are starting to wake up and go, believing that bullshit and voting on it was a real mistake. We got robbed. We got mugged. Look at this Daily Wire story. We always bring receipts. Post-election fallout for George Soros-backed prosecutors. George Gascon from Los Angeles lost by over six 800,000 votes to Nathan Hockman. Gascon was a Soros guy. So you see what I'm getting at? Because you believed Heraldo and others and left-wing media goofballs like Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton, that the police were hunting Black men in the streets. A total bullshit narrative completely made up by the left. You voted for George Suros back liberal prosecutors. What did they do? They let bad guys out of jail that prey on you, prayed on you, killed people, raped people, murdered people. And now you're like, You know what? There was a real material cost for me believe in that BS. That's why you're seeing the shift.

Look, MSNBC. Now they're worried about the future.

Maybe you shouldn't have lied to people, and your staffers wouldn't be worried about their freaking jobs. Folks, everything we've told you on this show, everything of substance, from Spygate to to the laptop. Everything we've told you on this show has turned out to be true. If you doubt any of it, and you believe, again, the Twitter Deep State crowd, just go do your homework about who was right and who was wrong, and you'll see why the deep staters and the liberal media hate us.

We also told you from the start that the welfare against President Trump was going to backfire.

Go watch the shows, man.

The receipts are everywhere.

Go back and watch past shows. Watched a couple of days after he was mug-shotted and dragged through court. We said this is going to blow up. If the New York Times crowd just would have listened to us, you may have fared better in the election. Here's the New York Times just the other day. Now, finally acknowledge that the more uncomfortable truth is that, Our search for political salvation through the law has backfired. No I told you it was going to backfire. You remember the shows, folks in the chat? Do you remember your P1s out there, loyal Dan Bongino army members? Love you guys. Do you remember me saying exactly Can you say these words? That there are a lot of people out there who, quote, have been aggrieved by government and feel like they've been screwed over.

Their businesses were attacked by regulators and county commissioners. The IRS is auditing Getting them for some BS tax bill from five years ago.

They feel like the government gave them the double-barrel middle finger. So now what happens? The government goes after Donald Trump, and these people at home were saying what? Samuel Desmondian from the New York Times, if you just would have listened to your boy Danny Boombats here, you wouldn't be writing this stupid ass article. They see Donald Trump get arrested for at best, at At best, a political crime? At best, there was nothing there. They're thinking, my gosh, a billionaire former president, a victim of the same system I am?

They tried to make a race thing out of it. It wasn't a race thing. Yes, there were Black men and Hispanic men and Hispanic women and Asian women and Asian men who feel aggrieved.

But it wasn't a Black thing or a Hispanic thing.

It was a people getting fucked over thing. Pardon my language. Too stupid to understand it, you New York Times morons.

This show has been way ahead of it. If you idiots were to listen to us, you wouldn't find yourself now up the creek without a paddle. You guys don't remember how many shows we did on that? There are people out there who've been screwed over by the same system. You were too stupid to get your head cranial rectotomy out of your colon and see it. You were lied to the whole time about everything. If you're a lefty, if you're an anti-Trump lunatic, you were lied to. I tried to warn you.

Hope you all enjoyed that show. My producers always have a really good flavor for what the best clips of the year are going to be. I told you those were pretty electric. I hope you enjoyed them. I hope they made your Christmas Eve a very, very merry one. Have a great holiday tomorrow. Enjoy yourselves. Enjoy your family. That's what really matters. Today, Jesus was welcomed to the world. That's the most important takeaway. God bless. I'll see you back here next week.

You just heard the Dan Bongino Show.
