Transcript of No Dudes In Dresses (Ep. 2449)

All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. I know I thank you guys a lot, and I hope it doesn't get annoying, but you've given me so much. My life is a gift from the Lord first, but from you guys, second. I love doing this show. It's a passion of mine, but it's just been such an incredible week. Obviously, last night, if you were watching Fox, I signed again. Fox as a contributor over there. So I'm really happy to be back. I've been doing hits there since 2013. So it's been quite a long time, well over a decade. So it feels like going back home again. I did Hannity last night, was talking about the Guthrie case. I haven't been discussing it a lot on this show. I just wanted to hit on one quick thing, but I got a ton to address. And again, on the Spotify trending number one, again, I think it's eight straight days now. Live stream number has been amazing. I can't thank you guys enough. Thank you to everyone who rated the stream yesterday. I saw Benny Johnson did, Graham Allen, who's always a rock star.

I actually have a clip, right, Guy, of the great Graham Allen today in the show, talking about the culture change that's going on right now. Folks, we haven't won anything, period. But there is no question that we are winning in the process, in the present. We are winning. The shift is happening, and I've got more evidence all around you. If your eyes aren't open to it, clockwork orange style, they should be soon. We are winning. You see the shift happening right now, and people do not want to be with the losing team. They just don't. I've got a ton to get to, including some breaking news yesterday as the Epstein revelations start to backfire on all the grandstanders out there. It turns out that, yeah, President Trump was telling the Palm Beach police to shut this guy down. A shocker. Well, no, not really. Amazing. A lot happened when I was back in DC, gold jumping over 60% in the past year. To be straight with you, I was feeling pretty good about buying gold from Birch Gold right about now, and I'm really grateful they're back with me as a sponsor. A big believer in gold.

I know you know the story. I never wanted to endorse a gold company. Paula talked me into it, said, Listen, she loves gold as much as I do. She's like, You know you're going to buy. Birch Gold is a great company. Let's go with them. I got to learn more about the need for diversification from Birch Gold. And I started buying gold from Birch Gold. I'm a customer, too. I'm a huge believer. I've been an investor in gold for a long time. There's freedom in diversification, and Birch Gold is the only gold company I choose to do business with and have for a few years now. I encourage you to learn for yourself. Text my name, Dan, D-A-N, to the number 989898. And Birch Gold, B-I-R-C-H, Birch Gold, will send you a free info kit on how to convert an eligible IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold. Gold is one of the best investments I ever made. That's right, own gold in a tax sheltered account. Again, text my name, Dan, to number 989898, and see if gold is right for You. Tumultuous times. You've seen what happens. Gold is a great hedge.

I'm an investor. Check it out. Message and data rates apply. Thank you, Birch Gold. We really appreciate it. All right, Gee, let's go. So Show, folks, the tide has already turned in the culture war. You're seeing it now. I'm going to get to that in a second. But just briefly, I know you're getting wall-to-wall coverage on cable news. I try my best to give you a large portfolio of information in the hour and a half to two hours we do the show. Secretary Christie Noem coming up today at 11: 30 in an hour and a half. We're going to do a wide-ranging interview with her. I try to give you everything, a smorgasbord of information. However, you have seen that this Guthrie tragedy, this case is dominated. I did a hit on it last night. Just quickly, I was discussing three possibilities. You had some loud mouth. They have to always come on and say... It's hard for me to talk about stuff in this new role because there's things I can't say. Do you get what I'm saying? Does that make sense in the chat? I don't want to give away tactics. There are things we can do, we meaning the Fed, not just the FBI, but others, DEA, marshals, and others.

There are new tools that when I left the Secret Service back in 2011, we didn't have those tools. So it was easier for me to be a commentator at times because I stayed away from things I didn't know and spoke about things I did. However, now that I've got all this stuff in my head, I've got to be delicate how I handle things. So I talk about things in terms of possibilities. I think everybody has to keep in their head the possibility that Occam's razor may apply here. Given all explanations for what to Savannah Guthrie's mom, maybe it's time to accept the one that's the most parsimonious and requires you to assume the least. We'll see. Was it a kidnapping? Was it not a kidnapping? Is there a third explanation? If you want to watch the clip, you can check it out. It's on my social media feed, and you'll see what I'm talking about. It is just bizarre that a group of, if they were professional kidnappers, would miss an obvious thing, like taking the medication and other things like that. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Okay, moving on. I got a lot to talk about today.

You can get all wall to wall coverage on K Real news about that. People are obviously interested in the story. I've heard that the viewership is through the roof. I mean, it's a terrifying story. Folks, the tide has already turned in the culture war. It's already turned. The tide has turned. It's already turned. We haven't anything, but it's already turned. It's in the other direction right now. If you are on the right side of history with us, congratulations. Welcome to the party. If you just converted to the right side of history, ie, you're someone like one of these celebrities or so who's like, you know what? I like Donald Trump now. Welcome to the party, too. I don't particularly care what celebrities have to say, but I'd rather you vote for us than not. The culture wars are changing. People are being tired of being told that it's okay to have a men's penis in a women's room. Nobody ever believe that. Only the nuts believe that, pun intended. The tide has already turned. Trump changed everything. What he did is he moved the needle on what conversations were safe to be had. I'm going to address this with Secretary Noem later, and I'm going to play a clip of a Secretary Kennedy, RFK, talking about how this President just lets you do your thing and doesn't really care care so much what the public perception in the media is.

You'll see the clip later, but he has moved the needle about what's okay, air quotes, to talk about. And he has allowed his cabinet and his leaders, whether it's a Secretary of War or elsewhere, Secretary of Homeland Security, to do the job and not have to worry about every media headline about, oh, my gosh, that wasn't politically correct. He wasn't politically correct. He doesn't care. He changed He's everything. He made the GOP, which was the stodgy old bow-tie wearing party, the Mitt Romney crowd. He made the GOP, the Republican Party, the edgy party, again. He just did. No one understands marketing of a brand better than Donald J. Trump. No one, zero people understand it better than him. Here's what I'm talking about. He's got the culture war avengers in his cabinet. People are like, We're not doing these culture wars. We're doing make America safe again, make America wealthy again, make America great again. That's what we're doing. If you have an alternate agenda, get the hell out of the cabinet like stat. Here's Secretary Hegset from the Department of War yesterday. Again, another banger of a speech. Guys do an incredible job. And this is the thing I promise you, under no prior President could ever be said, Republican or Democrat, they'll be like, Oh, my gosh, the media is going to take this all the Wait, what are you doing?

You're creating headlines, all stuff. No, not this President. Here he is. This is why I titled the show, Despite some consternation from Gee, I just want it on the record. Gee tells it like it is, even when he's wrong, he wanted a different title. This is why we title today's show, No Dudes and Dresses. Check this out. I've heard a lot of generals say a lot of things. The dumbest thing I've heard generals say is that our diversity is our strength. It's the single dumbest phrase in military history. Let me tell you why. Because I look out at this group and I see a lot of different faces, a lot of different backgrounds coming from a lot of different places. That's a beautiful thing. But that's not what makes it special. What makes what you do special, what makes what these men and women do special, is their unity of purpose. See, it's our unity that's our strength. It's our shared vision that's our strength. It's what we fight for together that is our strength. And so we're getting rid of all the distractions, the DEI, the climate change. No more dudes in dresses. And notice the applause from the crowd.

These were things in the past. Time out here. I need you to listen. These were things in the past, prior to Donald Trump, that I promise you, upwards of 80 to 90% of people were thinking but were afraid to say. That's what the term political correctness is about. Notice, they don't say moral correctness, they say political correctness. In other words, you know you're on the right moral arc of history side. However, politically, the winds are blowing in a different direction due to pressure, agendas, and other things. So you stop saying what you want to say. This President, he doesn't buy any of that bullshit. And he gives you latitude to work. Now, you may be saying, some of you, Oh, that's just talking points and trying to get a reaction from the crowd. No, it's not. This stuff has a real tangible effect on how government operates for you every day. If you've got a military more concerned with racial and and gender quotas and LGBTQIA 2 plus 1 spirit, I can't even remember all the categories anymore, then they're not concerned about actually killing the enemy. And that's their job. Folks, this is not a small thing.

These are not just talking points. They create freedom to operate in a hierarchy. President Trump creates this space where you can do the right thing for the organization, make them more lethal in the case of Secretary of War. He then goes out and he gives these speeches, making this stuff public, which then filters down to the leaders who realize, Man, this guy's not kidding. He really wants soldiers who are lethal, and he's not worried about all this quota crap anymore. I'll give you just a quick example from my time. There was a lot of this fluffy, bullshit stuff on the home screen. I'd come into my office every morning, and as a computer on a desk, like everyone has, no big deal. I had two monitors there, one for one side of the Internet, one for the other side. And you got some classified. So you get the point, right? But there were these weird messages on the home screen, like National Puppy Day or whatever. I'm like, We're not doing that shit. It's a small down. It's a huge victory lap. I'm just saying, those little things set the conditions for a morale problem.

Where you've got people celebrating national puppy. These are door kickers. These are people arresting terrorists. I said, get that shit off there. I want our priorities up there. Protect the homeland, crush violent crime, fierce organizational accountability, restore public trust. Cash was like, do it, done. It was done right away. That's how it filters down from the President, and you start to win back the culture of the United States government to be more accountable to the people and more mission-focused rather than bullshit-focused. You see it in other departments as well. Things that were totally unsafe to say years ago. People just didn't want it because they were afraid. You're seeing in other cabinet members as well. The culture war is changing. Here's RFK. He's been doing a great job over there. He was given a talk the other day, and he was talking about the government's now new approach to nutrition and things like that. Now, why does this matter? Why would I put it after the Secretary of War? Number one, we're talking about the hierarchy, the ability to speak out and speak truth. The President Hesitant not giving a damn about political correctness. And in the past, the government, Republicans and Democrats, were hesitant to talk about people's dietary choices.

Why? Oh, my gosh. You don't want people who are overweight to feel bad. Well, listen, I don't want anybody to feel bad, but I don't want you to die either. It's clear now that this is linked to shortened lifespan and a multitude of other health problems. It's clear as day. You can say that. And it's also safe to say, Hey, man, we're going to put out some stuff saying that these choices aren't healthy. I'm telling you, you can never do this stuff on the path. No, of course. No, you couldn't. Here's what I mean. Check this out. We're trying to make it easier for parents to make good choices. We're not telling people what to do. We're not starting a nanny state. If you live in this country, you ought to be able to buy a Coca-Cola if you want, or eat a Krispy Kreme donut. But we're going to tell you it's not good for allow you to make your own choices. That's really how democracy is supposed to function. That is how democracy is supposed to function. Everybody's free to drink a gallon of Coca-Cola if you want. But if we're going If you pay all this money for public health, and I think it should be left to the states or whatever, but if you're going to do it because the Democrats won't stop funding this large ass and this massive government dog pile of money, then we might as well get out a message that makes sense.

Yeah, whatever. Eat a donut and a gallon of coffee. Excuse me, a gallon of Coca-Cola in the morning. But no one's going to tell you this is healthy. You can't say that. You may offend people. Then be offended. I'm sorry, folks. There's nothing wrong with being offended. Offended? You have any idea the shit I listen to every day from liberal lunatics? Just plug my name in. These morons are so terrified of everything we say on the show because they know it's got a massive audience. Here's what I was talking about, too, about not being micromanaged and how different it is to work in this environment. Here's RFK, it's a short one, talking about how he does not care the President about licking the finger and seeing where the political winds are going and the media. He doesn't give a shit about any of that stuff. I'm telling you, prior Republican presidents, certainly Democrat presidents, worship the media. The old adage was, you don't mess with people who buy ink by the gallon. He just takes the ink and pours it over your head. Check this out. I tolerate overreach, and he doesn't care about vested interest, and he doesn't care about offending powerful people.

So it's a joy to work for him because he lets me do stuff that I don't think anybody else would ever let me do. There you go. I'll bring this up with Secretary Noem later as well. I'll get her perspective on it. He's not talking about extra post-constitutional illegal. Not somebody's he's talking about. He's talking about exactly the theme I opened up the show with. He gives you freedom to operate without fear of being stopped because you didn't say the politically correct thing that day. The best way to ensure your job security in Trump administration, have some liberal media jerk wads, write some really negative story about you, then you're never getting fired, ever, for any reason. It's the greatest job security program ever. It's like a deposit in your government furze, your 401k for the government system every time the liberal media writes some hit piece on you. Folks, the evidence is everywhere that this culture war has shifted, that we are winning. We haven't won, but we are winning. Now it's time to crush the pedal down I want to go 9,000 RPMs in six gear. This is the time, because after the midterms, I don't know how it's going to go.

You know me, I don't get into red wave stuff. I don't get into doomer stuff either. We're going to lose 6,000 seats. There aren't even 6,000 seats to lose, bro. What are you talking about? I try to play it straight, but I can tell you, if you don't crush the gas pedal, and we don't do the 10, 10, and 10, call 10 people, ring 10 doorbells, make 10 social media posts. If we don't do that, send 10 emails, 10, 10, 10, and 10, 10, 10, make 10 more things, whatever you can do, 10 Facebook posts, 10 Instagram posts. Yes, then we are going to get crushed. Bottom line is, elections are decided by ballots and votes, and sometimes those aren't the same thing. Sometimes you get ballots turned there by people who didn't intend to vote. I've been covering that all week. But the culture is changing, and it's one of the... The entire Republican Party has been moved. I got a little montage coming up later in the show for you. How the media wants you to believe that Donald Trump has been a drag, like an anchor on the Republican Party. I'm going to show you a ton of stories, producer Jim and the team here put together, where they just keep parroting this narrative.

Oh, my gosh, the GOP is fuming at President Trump. They hate it. Oh, my God, what a drag on the party. The whole party's changed. He has changed the culture, too. It's one of the unspoken things that doesn't come up a lot. The whole culture has changed, not just the Republican Party. Here's our good friend Graham Allen, who rages the show every day. He's got an amazing show on Rumble, too. He's always been a good friend to me and a real truth teller. Here's Graham Allen on The Turning Point show. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this. Did yesterday, Andrew Kovitz sent a nice tweet out about our coverage of it. Yesterday, we brought up the two-button problem. If you want to watch yesterday's show, how Turning Point is the first one to beat the NFL and solve the two-button problem. They just are on a mass scale, that is. You all figured out Rumble a long time ago. We're a top live streamer in the world, thanks to you. But a lot of people have a tough time downloading the TV apps, even my TV. How the hell you get that on there?

Chris told me from Rumbl that they've had a record day of people downloading the Rumbl app on their TV. I don't know if you know that you can watch this show on your television. All you got to do is download the Rumbl app on your TV. A little bit of a pain in the butt, but they're going to put some tutorials out. Here's Graham Allen on not just what happened with the massive viewership numbers, but the secondary and tertiary effects of Turning Point running counter programming to the NFL that was clearly directed at a culture of Americans who love and want to celebrate the country and didn't want to watch this sad bunny thing. Watch what happened afterwards to the artists who performed. You're not going to get a bunch of people, artists, because you're going to do this again, Turning Point, that are going to dying to get on this halftime show. Check this out. Check this out. This morning on the top charts of the top 10 albums in America right now, Brantley Gilbert holds one, two, three, four of the top 10 albums on the chart. Gabby Barrett holds the number one country music chart.

Lee Bryce holds number three. Cody Johnson from Kid Rock singing his song, number five. Gabby Barrett, number seven. Lee Bryce, number eight. The Lord. It worked. Brantley, Lee, and Gabby, listen to me right here. The Lord rewards standing strong in your faith and your convictions. I love me some Graham. I didn't realize Graham opened a clip saying, Check this out, after I said, Check this out. Justin got a kick out after some reason. It was like the comedy break for the show. Check this out. Graham is like, Check this out. I looked in the chat. Eita Ray says, Love watching you on the big screen. Yeah, folks, it's an option. Download the Rumble app on your TV. I have it on my TV. It's not that hard, but some of us are not that tech savvy. Paula did it, but it's really quick. You can watch the show on the big screen. So thanks, Eita Ray. I appreciate it. Here's what I mean, too. The culture has shifted so dramatically. It's now safe to do this. Here's this This gentleman, he owns it. But did you see this clip yesterday? If you didn't, it was absolutely nuclear, which is like beyond viral on social media and elsewhere.

I think it's on TikTok, X. It was everywhere. There's an owner of this bar or club called the Zoo Bar or Club somewhere in Florida. And some guy thinks he's being a real smart ass coming up with his phone, and he videos the guy. He's like, How dare you Swap out the halftime show for this turning point show. I came here to see the whole experience, and the guy who owns a bar is like, Good, then just beat it, bro. Beat it. See you. I guarantee you, guarantee you that the guy who owns his bar, his bar is going to be packed this weekend. The Zoom Club or Zoom bar, it's on, I think, the West Coast of Florida somewhere. I can guarantee you this guy's bar is going to be packed. Why? Because patriotic people who put their hands over their heart When the national anthem comes on, they stand up and they sing those words proudly. I promise you're going to flood this guy's bar. And we far outnumber the lunatics. Check this out. I came here for the halftime show. The whole experience. Why are you saying that Bad Bunny at the halftime show?

Because I put this halftime show on. Why? Because this is what the majority... Are you filming me, then tell me. Why are you doing that? Why didn't you play Bad Bunny? I'm going to pay first. I got to pay first. This is why I said no. I got to pay for it. This is why I said, I got to pay first, but I'm asking a question. I'm not being violent. Yeah, I got to pay first. I shouldn't pay because I came here for the full experience. What's your time under? You're getting a hat-tip, Reboot Jay with X. So thanks for putting that video wherever they got it from. But you're getting a full experience now, bro. You have no idea. Folks, listen to me. Liberal losers. This shit doesn't work anymore. Why? Because the operating thesis of the show is the culture's changed. If this guy was so embarrassed because the culture was on your side that everybody should be watching this sad bunny thing, then why is the guy basically double barreling you until you beat it, get out of my place? Because he knows you're wrong and he's right. He can watch whatever the hell he wants in his bar, and most of the people in there seem quite content.

Keep doing this stuff. I'm going to video you and embarrass you. You know, you're not. You're going to pack the guy's bar this week and make him more money he's ever made. Because everybody thinks you, the guy filming it, are a moron. It even blew up on C-Span. You know C-Span? Where they get these callers call in. Someone calls in C-Span about this. This was the best piece of this whole thing, of this whole experience about these TPUSA guys, just turning point, just changing the whole paradigm now moving forward. Here's a caller in the C-Span. You guys just don't get it. We're celebrating this milestone in American history this year. People want to feel great about the country. They don't want to hear your shit anymore. Check this out. Should have been celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America at that halftime show. When I went to school, I was taught English. I wasn't taught Spanish, so I don't know a word he was saying. The United States of America were an English-speaking language. They should have at least put a closed caption on there or something so you could understand what they were saying.

In the dance, I've seen the same thing at a strip show, just with the clothes on, the way they were doing on TV. There's no reason for that. Folks, the days of the media building narratives and framing and gaslighting where you lie, lie confidently, lie often, and isolate people from the truth are over. As you saw, whether it was Turning Point or this show relaunching into a huge audience, we're at 71,200 and climbing. We're only 20 minutes into the show. The fragmentation of the media makes it impossible for them to effectively gaslight anymore. Gaslighting, getting people to believe bullshit. And narratives requires you to lie, lie confidently, lie often, but to isolate people from the truth so they can't see it. Shows like this are breaking that. They're destroying that whole paradigm because you can't isolate people from the truth anymore. Here's a story I told you I'd get to just a few minutes ago. The media loves to tell you a story, not the story. You remember all the Dan Bongino show Rules? Jim wrote a book about it last time. The Media loves to tell you a story, not the story. I'll address this with Christie Noem later, too, in our interview.

There was a story out there yesterday by CBS. Only 14% of people deported have criminal charges, something like that. Then you read the fine print, and you... Oh, thank you, guys. Less than 14%, I'm sorry, of those arrested by ICE in Trump's first year in office had violent criminal records, document shows. Then you read the details, you're like, Well, how exactly are we categorizing violent crime? How many people had pending criminal charges? And then you find out the story is a story, but it's not the story. They do this all the time. So the latest Story du jour outside of that, we'll get to that, is that, gosh, the Republicans up on Capitol Hill, folks, they are fuming, quote, fuming at President Trump, destroying the place, bullying a China shop. Now, keep in mind, this is the Daily Yeast, so you have to be careful. Everything the yeast tells you, you pretty much take with a grain of salt. This is Lee Kimmins from the Daily Yeast, Republicans. This is an actual headline for those of you listening on Spotify or Apple or elsewhere. Republicans secretly fuming with Trump as midterm disaster looms. Disaster. Gee, it's going to be a disaster.

Justin's already crying in there. It's a disaster. He's got a Kleenex him around his eyes trying to dry him up there. His estradiol levels are too high. How many times are you going to tell us this story,Media Goons. Sorry. How many times are you going to tell us this story? So I reached out to producer Jim yesterday. I'm like, Jimbo, Jimmy. I'm like, Hey, man, I need a favor. I'm like, I It takes me about two, three hours to put the show together. I said, Can you just put together? I said, It's going to be a really easy task because it'll be easy to find a montage of the basically exact same headline or an iteration of that headline, GOPs, Midterms are going to be a disaster. Trump's the worst. He's killing a Republican Party. Within an hour, he was completely done, and so was the team with it. Here's a bunch of the exact same headline over and over. Boston Herald. Could Trump and GOP be careening towards midterm disaster? New Republic. Republicans want to blame their election disaster on Trump. Don't fall for her. Here's the Daily East. Republicans fear midterm catastrophe, thanks to Trump.

Here we go. More. Republicans are increasingly anxious about a midterm wipeout. Truth out. Trump is blaming everyone but himself for midterm losses, including his wife. These go back. These are older headlines, too. Poll. Trump's own voters begin blaming him for a portability crisis. Republicans are secretly convinced they face a bloodbath in midterms, thanks to Trump. Folks, it never ends. It's the same doomer lib bullshit all the time. This is absolutely a sci-up. And I don't mean sci-up in some weird science fiction type movie. It is a A tautologically, a psychological operation to depress turnout and make you believe everything sucks all the time. The GOP hates Trump. Everybody hates Trump. Except you look at the poll numbers and the I'm called division within the GOP, and it's all made up. Trump has changed the direction of the party. All the stuff you're hearing about him is bullshit. Trump's a fascist, a monarch. Really? He's a fascist? Guys done 500 appearances before the press. Seems like a guy who wants to talk to the press, not engage in behind the scenes fascist monarchy type crap. Throw up that New York Post piece. You'll see what I'm talking about.

I think they're really scared about this election. You got that? There we go. Trump nears 500 press interactions in second term, blowing past Biden. Folks, I think they're really scared about this Save Act. I've talked about it three or four times in the last week plus of shows you've been doing. This Save Act and the implementation of voter ID and voter integrity measures across the country will be a catastrophic disaster for the left. You'll see the voter depression psyops against a Republican Party multiply times 10. You're seeing an extinction burst of behavior right now. You know the extinction burst? How many P1s are here? Who's in the chat? Who remembers it? Who remembers the extinction burst? The extinction burst is a psychological term where you don't get a reward for some operant behavior you engage in. You put a dollar in the Coke machine, you get a Coke every day, and it's your thing in the morning, whatever. Then one Friday, you put the dollar in, no Coke comes out. People do these weird... They start shaking a machine, punching a machine, screaming, Is that not going to make the Coke come out any faster?

Every week, you remember that? If he was here. There we go. Chad, who's that? Who's that? Tim Brother, the Coke machine. Yeah, you know it, man. You're seeing it now with the media. They're freaking out that this save act may get pushed across the finish line, and they know the cheating is going to be impossible, and they're starting to flip out. I'm going to get to that after this break. I'll show you the numbers. The numbers Numbers don't lie. Media people do. Hey, the only way to lose weight is not to inject yourself once a week. No, not anymore. Here's the reality. Weight loss injections work by a really simple two-step process. They help control blood sugar, they shut down appetite and you eat less. That's the mechanism. It's really not mysterious. They're very popular. However, there's a product out there. I used it. I lost 25 to 30 pounds on it. It was great. I called up Miles at Brett Brickhouse. I was getting a little heavier. As I got older, my joints couldn't take the extra load on it anymore. My knees were bad. I needed knee replacement. I said, Miles, Brickhouse, get me something.

They created this product Lean, L-E-A-N. It replicates the benefits of weight loss injections. It works. I'm proof positive of it, and it's without the needles. Lean was formulated by doctors to support healthy blood sugar and help reduce the spikes and crashes that drive nonstop snackings and cravings. Lean goes It's a step further, though. Lean helps turn your body and it turns body fat into energy. So you burn it instead of storing it. No prescriptions, no needles. I use it. Paula uses it. We love the product.

All right, so this That's what I was talking about. This Save Act is flipping them out. They cannot possibly have voter integrity measures implemented in a nationwide manner, because if they do, they know that they're not going to be able to engage in faux ballot harvesting. I say faux because a lot of the ballots they harvest, likely when you base it on prior research about rejection rates on mail-in ballots that the New York Times wrote about themselves in 2020, what you wind up figuring out is rejection rates in fraud are nearly double than they are when people show up to vote. Here's the New York Post. They see the tide is turning. Donald Trump talks endlessly about voter integrity, and the public is shifted. 71% of people right now support voter ID. Ladies and gentlemen, that is beyond the majority. That That is way beyond a majority. I know the Democrats don't do mapping well, but that is way beyond 50 %, 51 %. Way beyond. You're talking about 20 percentage points above.

New York Post. Democrat politicians battle against national voter ID despite 71 % of their voters backing it. What does this tell you? Now, here's the problem they're going to have, and it's a big one. There are people inside the party. Thank you. There's a few research numbers. In case you doubt it, you shouldn't. But when people inside their tent, the Democrat tent I'm talking about here, are starting to turn on this like they are now, i. E. John Federman and others. Listen, folks, I don't vote for Democrats. I don't support Democrats. Period. End of story. However, if you're going to get a guy who's going to contribute in a net present value to an issue I need to pass, like the Save Act, then take it. Here's Federman, who's, again, a Democrat senator from Pennsylvania. I know you all know that. Here's even him saying to us, Hey, man, listen, us against this thing looks like it's a political loser because it is. That's why they're so freaked out. And you They're kicking the Coke machine right now in the extinction burst. Check this out. And now, me, as a Democrat, I do not believe that it's unreasonable to show ID just to vote.

I remind everybody that less than a year ago Wisconsin, they added that to the Constitution by a 63% passing to put that in the Constitution that you have to show ID to vote. And they also elected a very, very liberal justice into their Supreme Court. So it's not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote. And it's absolutely those things are not Jim Crow or anything. Of course, that's part of an awful, awful legacy of our our nation for so long ago. There are a couple of things I need you to be concerned about that they're going to use to, again, move forward and alter voting patterns in their favor moving forward. One of them I've discussed often, it's the use of the census. The census happens every 10 years. They try to count the number of people in the United States. I say they try because everything's obviously going to be an estimate. However, Donald Trump has been fighting for an accurate census count number of people here legally for a long time. The Democrats want to count people here illegally. Why? If each Congressional district is roughly 700,000 people, and we don't care if it's illegals or not, the Democrats are going to flood the country with illegals so they get more representatives in Democrat areas.

That's why the census is such a big deal. Why are you bringing up the census? Because this is another way through gerrymandering, which the Democrats do all the time, Republicans do it, too. But Republicans like the ones in Indiana don't want to fight this fight. Yet Democrats in Virginia are ready to wipe out nearly every single Republican member of Congress in a state that votes roughly 45% plus for Republicans. We got to take the gloves off and fight. You have to fight back. If you're not willing to use their tactics against them, you're going to get smoked. They've clearly cheated in the census. How do I know that? Here's a report on CNN, a video clip on CNN, not Fox. Not on Breitbart, not on Bright Bart, not on Bongino report. This is a CNN report. One of the commentators is like, Yeah, that census, they probably scammed us a little bit and gave Blue State some seats they didn't deserve and took away some from red seats. This is a big deal. Why? We've got a member or two majority in Congress, depending on who's sick, who died, who's out for the day. One or two seats is everything.

It means the chairmenhips in the majority. It means impeachment or not in some cases. Check this out.

One of the biggest things is it helps decide Congressional maps. Does this have everything to do with redistricting? Well, it does.

In fact, we know the 2020 census, the errors were almost always to the detriment of red states. Blue states like Rhode Island- Do we know that? We do know that.

The Census Bureau's own audit of its work has proven that blue states like Rhode Island were over counted.

Rhode Island didn't lose a seat.

Red states like Alabama were under counted. This is just a fact.

It wasn't all red-blue, but it was disproportionately red-blue. I love how on these CNN segments, they're always stunned by reality, which unintentionally segues. I didn't even plan it. Usually I do, but truth be told, I did not even plan it this way. I had another direction. I was going with this next clip, but I'm just now seeing them back to back. We went through the show run down and it just clicked to me. They're always kicked in the nuts by reality. This commentator, Brad Todd, comes in with the fact, well, the Census Bureau did its own analysis on its own numbers and is admitting they basically under counted red states and over counted blue states, giving them extra seats. And she's like, do we know that? He's like, yes, we know that. It's in the data. You dumb nuts. Can't you do your own homework? They're constantly blindsided by the truth. That's why this Save Act is such a big deal. You're never going to have an accurate vote count if the number of seats are entirely skewed by a census, cheating and ballot harvesting where you don't know who's returning the damn votes. Here's what I mean to by liberal media folks, parading the narrative and always being seemingly surprised when reality kicks them in the nads, right?

Here's that Abby lady from CNN. I think her name is Lydia Moynihan. I think I had her for a guest once, I'm pretty sure, on my Fox show when I was doing Unfiltered. She's on the show, and she starts reading these quotes. I love pieces like this. She starts reading these quotes that sound pretty like racisty racist. The host of the show and the guests on the panels are stunned that these quotes are actually from Joe Biden. They know none of this stuff. Consider yourself well-informed that you understand both sides, can balance equities, can balance inputs, and produce a good quality output. These people still believe in the Russia hoax because their inputs are shit. Check this out. I've never heard Biden criticized, and he eulogized a KKK recruiter, Senator Bird.

He said some insane racist things like, poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. He didn't want his children growing up in a racial jungle. You're talking about that's what Bird said? No, that was what Biden said.

Everybody remembers those Biden quotes. Everybody in my audience right now, folks in the chat, you remember that? Those are Biden quotes. Everybody knows that. You guys, it's just a a fact. You guys are so well-informed on politics. You guys remember that? Yeah. Who's it? Peddle the Pug, LMA. They don't know anything. This lady is a commentator on CNN. Those are infamous Biden quotes. And their heroes are all frauds, too. These lefty phoneies, they're here, Don Lemon. I'll address that with Secretary I know him later, in that case as well. Their heroes are total frauds. Don Lemon, Jasmine Crockett. They openly admit to lying and never correcting the record. This is You know what I tell you guys? Don't ever give an inch to these people on the Apology Brigade. Don't do it. It's not worth your time. They don't apologize for anything, ever. You do something blatantly, morally wrong, correct it to your family and God. I'm serious, man. Don't give an inch to these people. They don't care when they're caught in a blatant lie. They don't care that they don't know anything. That host isn't even remotely embarrassed. She had no idea those were Biden quotes.

You knew. Here's Jasmine Crockett, the new hero on the left, running for the Senate in Texas. And I hope she wins that primary. Here's she Just a little quick background. It's a short clip. This is not some hostile, conservative interview, by the way. Jasmine Crockett made an allegation about Lee Zeldin, the EPA Secretary, getting a donation from a Jeffrey Epstein. Well, it wasn't Jeffrey Epstein, but it wasn't the Jeffrey Epstein in the current news cycle. It was a different guy. It's like getting a donation from a John Brown, and it turns out to be a different John Brown. It's not him. It's a different guy. You think Jasmine Crockett is going to apologize? She says it right here. She's like, Double barrel. I'm not apologizing for anything. And all of a sudden, we got our people always demanding immediate apologies. No, don't do it. Don't give an inch to these people ever under any circumstances, because they don't care about any of this crap, being right, being ethically right. They don't give a shit. Listen to her own words. Don't listen to me. Check this out. I see the moment on the house where you seem to accuse Republican Lee Zeldin of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein, but it seemed like if it was not the same person.

I wonder, is there times in which the rhetoric goes too far? There are times in which you should say, maybe I messed that one up. No, not in this environment. I don't. I think that we are really in unchartered territory. I hear your argument that you're reflecting the urgency necessary, and so that's why it won't give an inch. Correct. So everything's justified, quote, by the urgency. But it's amazing. There was no urgency When millions of people, many of them, serious, hard core criminals and gangbangers, were crossing our board. I could give a thousand examples, but this one should ring your bell. There was no urgency there that Republicans were justified. I'm not telling you we should lie or make things up ever. That's not what I'm saying. But notice how the standards are completely different about what's urgent and when lying is okay. You get absolution from left. Their heroes are all full of shit. This is Why the left doesn't know anything, why they're always surprised by facts and data? Hey, the census was all. Who told you that? Are you sure of that? Well, actually, the census said it themselves in their own data.

Here's a quote. Poor white kid. Who said that? Robert Burton. No, Biden. How did you miss that? Did you miss the last campaign? They don't know anything. They're heroes or morons. They have this martyr complex, too. This part tragically cracks me up. Folks, I told you my first day back. I'm just a guy who's got a show who enjoys talking about issues. I'm nobody's hero. I'm a sinner Like everyone else. I'm glad you all want to be here. Eighty thousand people tuning in right now. I'm honored. I really am. But I'm nobody's hero. Nothing special about me. I don't have like, Professor X superpowers. The left doesn't do any of this. The left puts these people, these morons, like Crockett and others on a pedestal, and they make murders out of them. And they listen to crap like this. Here's Don Lemon. There's a pending ongoing criminal case. Everybody's innocent till proven guilty. That's the way this system works. However, Don Lemon's got some legal problems, we can all agree, for his role in walking into the church and confronting a bunch of people, violating potentially their rights, depending on how this court case works out, we're going to see.

But here's Don Lemon, he's comparing himself to a civil rights leader. Folks, really? You're not going to hear me doing that ever. If you do it on our side, you should be shunned. I told you, never over explain yourself. If you did good things, people think you're a good guy. If you didn't do good things, people are going to think you're an asshole. Here, listen to this. Donna Lemon. Donna Lemon comparing himself to the civil rightsman. Look at this clown. Check this out. Can you imagine the state having control of your freedom simply because they don't like that you are doing your job? So that was very frightening to me. But in my time, when I was there, I thought about all the people who come before me. I thought about all of the people who fought for civil rights, who fought for gay rights, all of the people who were at Stonewall, Marsha P. Clarke. I'm like, yes, those are the people, those are the real heroes. And so what's happening to me, I have, at least in this that I'm living now, more agency, more resources, more rights, and I would hope, than the people who are fighting for our freedom and our civil rights.

It is mind-blowing that people still fall for this bullshit. The guy, from his own video evidence and others around, appears to have accosted people practicing their freedom of religion in a church by, by the way, many of whom had absolutely nothing to do with this at all, with the ice rage you claimed to object to. Hat tip, Victor Davis-Hanson, who does amazing work. I saw he may have had Health issues. So obviously, all the best to you. Thinking about you always. One of the finest commentators of our time. He just succinctly puts this. I wish I would have had this cut the other day because he said it better. Listen, sometimes they just do better. And VDH is one of these guys who almost always says it best. Victor Davis Hansen on how Don Lemon, he videotaped himself, and he's conveniently leaving out the portion of the civil rights, air quotes, fight, where he violates other people's civil rights who are practicing their religion. Check this out. First of all, Don Lemon is self-incriminating. He's on tape talking about with the leaders of this demonstration, I think even before that day, that it actually occurred, their violence.

The way he talks and refers to himself, he sees himself as integral to that demonstration. If you don't arrest, prosecute, indict, prosecute Don Lemon, you're basically saying that people... Because he said so. He said he had a first amendment right, free speech. What he didn't say was, I, Don Lemon, and now to proclaim myself a journalist. I can go into a church and participate and aid and abet people who are invading private property. They're disrupting a religious observance. They're shouting and silenced them. They're terrorizing children. In some cases, they're blocking entrants and exits. And that's my right to do that because I now declare that I'm a journal. It doesn't work that way. I saw this from a different perspective over the past year, too. I've always known the media to have this insulated bubble around them where they look at themselves like the knights, the Pretorian Guard of Truth and Virtu and Justice. I told you during my prior time in law enforcement, When I was a young agent, when you're a new agent on the protective detail for the President, when you're a new agent, they stick you with the press. It's a way for you to get your feet wet on the President's detail without accidentally tripping over the President at a site before you know what you're doing and moving information and things like that.

Why do I tell you that? You see a lot of the press. When you go on a foreign trip or a domestic trip, which I did a couple of times, a young agent, you're the press agent. You're around these people 12, 16, 20 hours a day on a long day. I'm not talking about all of them. I don't speak collectively like they do about us. But I'm telling you a whole damn lot of them, ladies and gentlemen, are absolute morons. The debauchery pre-video camera, cell phone that you to go on on that press plane. And media people, don't pretend you don't know. A lot of you are still around. You know exactly what happened on that press plane. Don't bullshit people, and don't even dare try to bullshit me, okay? Some of these people are morons. Some of the conversations you would hear them having were things, I swear to you, you would hear from a 10-year-old. They have the vocabularies of a 12-year-old if they're lucky, in the thought process of a six-year-old. Not all of them. Some of them are smart. They're just liberal and wrong, I think, on a lot of issues.

But a huge chunk of them are absolute tools. They don't know a damn thing. That's why I always laugh. When these guys, they write about these. You see it all the time on all of these networks. They got this State Department commentator. They're like, What the hell does this person know? A source. Who's your source? The guy going to get coffee for Rubio's deputy or something? Who the hell is your source? I would read this crap in the media about us over at DOJ and the FBI, and I'm like, Where did they get this stupid-ass story from? Even little things. We changed the PT test, the physical fitness test, to meet fitness standards appropriate for a law enforcement officer. Media went wild over that. Went absolutely wild. Some of the quotes were ridiculous. The hysteria that broke out. You had to do a pull-up. A pull-up. If you were a woman, You can't do a pull-up or a chin-up? Even easier. Folks, we're going to take a quick break, but on the other side of this, we got Secretary Christie Noem coming up in a little over a half an hour on the show. We're going to talk about the border wall, the funding crisis over DHS that the Democrats started.

We're going to talk about that ridiculous CBS news story about the deportation efforts, and what it's like for her working for President Trump, who's the ultimate taskmaster on these things. But I want to tee it up first by covering on background here. On background means something, but giving you the background. On background means something different. It means off the record. Giving you the background on the misinformation out there right now about Trump's deportation efforts. And all they're targeting grandma who's seeing a movie and has been in the country 10 years. That's not what's happening. It's total bullshit. I'm going to break it down for you and give you the real story. The other side of this break, our last break today. Pds debt Cribs. Com/bongino. Fresh start, same system. It seems like when banks win and you pay, fees and calls piling up monthly unless you fight back. Pdsdebt. Pdsdebt has already helped hundreds of thousands cut their debt and put money back in their pocket, not the bank's pocket. Whether it's credit cards, personal loans or medical bills, PDS debt. Pds debt has a real way to help. They take the time to understand your situation and build a personalized plan designed specifically for you.

There's no minimum credit score required. Pds is here to help you save more, pay off your debt faster, and start keeping your money where it belongs in your pocket. Every month you wait costs more in interest than fees. The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is today, right now. I use PDS, and you should, too. Don't wait another month. Take back control in as little as 30 seconds. Get your free personalized assessment and the best options for you at pdesdebt. Com/bongino. Give them a shot. That's pdesdebt. Com/bongino. Put some money back It's a check in your pocket. Pds, pds. Com/bongino, must qualify for enrollment. Results may vary. Consult with your tax professional prior to enrollment. Thank you, pdsdebt. Com/bongino.. So again, Secretary Noem coming up. But first, there's a real crisis going on right now with Democrats in government trying to stop. It's called the Department of Homeland Security for a reason. I don't love the various government departments. I wish we were more streamlined and efficient. But while we have these departments that are structured the way they are, can we at least keep the homeland secure? That's the point of the Department of Homeland Security.

Why you would want to stop funding for the literally titled Department of Homeland Security is just a total knucklehead move. But that's what the Democrats want to do because they are totally uncomfortable with deportation efforts because they love using illegal immigration to create a welfare state and to basically fill back blue cities people are draining out of because of the tax situation so they can keep their members of the House of Representatives. You saw the census segment last. Here's a segment Bill Malugin did on Fox yesterday. So the Democrats now, in order to get DHS funded, TSA, you want all this stuff shut down again? Listen, whether you believe they should exist or not, I get. That's a totally fair argument to have. But while we have them, we have no choice. You want to get an airport, we got to deal with TSA and these other entities now. It is the way it is right now. Nobody wants another shutdown except the Democrats. They have ridiculous demands to give DHS their money, or they're going to shut the government down partially yet again. Here's Melujan covering exactly that. Check this out. Fox News has confirmed that Senate Democrats have sent legislative text on a DHS spending plan to their Republican counterparts.

Now, last week, you remember Chuck Schumer announced a list of 10 demands for ICE reforms. That includes judicial warrants, body cams, and end-a-roving patrols, forcing ICE agents to unmask, and also forcing them to carry and show ID. Well, the Senate's top Republican negotiator on that DHS bill, Senator Katie Brett, slam those demands, writing in part, quote, Democrats' newest proposal is a ridiculous Christmas list of demands for the press. This is not negotiating in good faith, and it's not what the American people want. Other Senate Republicans point out that shutting down DHS will hurt TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard a whole lot more than it'll hurt ICE. And they say some of the Democrats' demands are non-starters. The request that we should put ICE agents in harm's way is absolutely intolerable. And again, the Democrats need to get serious. And at least one Senate Democrat believes a partial government shutdown is all but certain. They don't care. You'll be sitting on a damn line in an airport again for two freaking hours. They don't care. Unmasking ice. I've got an idea. How about stop sending death threats to every ICE agent out there doing their damn jobs, and maybe they wouldn't have to appear on everybody's cell phone with a mask on so their families don't get harassed, they don't get killed.

This is bullshit. This is absolute insanity. Shut down the government so we can We have more people in the country violating our laws, and God forbid, we actually pay people to enforce the law. They swore to a poll when they put their right-hand up. Now, showing you how phony, fake, and fraudulent, again, these people are. Here's the second part of that. This is a shorter cut of Meluja. Now, this one... Hold on before we play. This one, again, is tragically hilarious. Tragic, but also hilarious because the Democrats, I've told you, my principles, they have no principles at all. You saw Jasmine Crockett, Don Lemon, all these people. They don't have principles, civil rights. What about the people praying in the church and their civil rights? They don't have principles. Well, I take it back. They have one principle, the acquisition and abuse of power. That's their rule. They all wanted body cams on ICE agents. Now, let me be clear on my position, which I've said umpteen thousand times here. I don't mind at all body cams on law enforcement at all. Matter of fact, I don't know if the story has made its way to the media.

I'm surprised no one's leaked it. I pushed hard at the FBI to dramatically expand the body cam program because it keeps everybody safe. If you're doing the right thing, the body cam protects you. He called me a racial epithet. Let's go to the body cam. No, he didn't. Or if he did, he gets fired. End of story. I don't believe there's any downside to body cams on that. One of the main demands we've been hearing from Democrats is they want ICE to wear body cameras, and Republicans are okay with that. But now Democrats are saying they're worried those body cameras will be used to surveil or spy on anti-ICE protesters or track them in some way. So now, Hakeem Jeffrey and Chuck Schumer are saying they want restrictions on how those ICE body cameras will be used. So they love body cams, and now they don't want body cams anymore. Let me What are you phrases? On net, I think they're a part, but there are some downsides. I shouldn't have said it that way. On net, obviously means that there's going to be some downsides, but the upsides outweigh it. Precise language matters. Folks, I was very honest with you about the surveillance state the other day, very honest with you.

I said, Listen, I've seen a lot of frightening surveillance tools, frightening surveillance tools in that they can do a lot of really powerful things. That's why in addressing In the Guthrie case last night, it's hard for me to... I have to be careful what I say because I don't want to tell you the tools that we do have when we need them because I don't want criminals to be able to circumvent and bypass those tools. But they're frightening because under the wrong people, they can be abused. Now, body cams have been around a long time. It's certainly not a new surveillance tool. But yes, it can be used to aggregate data, to use that data, to run AI through these filters. These are things all have to be considered. However, I think on net, with the proper guardrails, it is a fantastic technology to keep everybody safe. The Democrats are just bullshitters. They just don't want to use AI because they don't want you to identify more criminals. But they wanted to use body cams when they thought they would be an indictable tool to get some of our ICE officers thrown in jail. And then they realized that misfeasence and malfeasence on behalf of ICE and CBP is very low.

Well, if we can't use it I have to screw them, then I don't want it anymore. These people are full of shit. They don't mean a damn thing. They don't mean a word of what they say. I was honest about it. They're not. That's why I want to just hit this point again, if you'll allow me for a minute. Be really careful, folks. Be really careful calling for the government to have an increased role with these powerful surveillance tools in surveilling everyday activities without at least some evidence of a predicate crime. Let me put meat on the bottom. I don't want to over-explain this, but I said it in the opening show or the second show. These are very, very powerful tools. The FBI shouldn't miss things at all. I don't care who's FBI it is, Biden's, Trump's, anyone. They're paid by the taxpayer to go and enforce federal law. However, sometimes these misses happen. All bad, we get it. Okay, full stop. But part two is I see people online saying, Well, the FBI should be surveilling all this stuff, Reddit forums and elsewhere. Are we sure of that? I'm not sure in a Biden FBI or a Jasmine Crocket, AOC, Bernie Sanders FBI, that I want the government in every single forum.

I'm in a lot of these firearms forums that I like I go in and I like to see what people are talking. That's how I get my... I bought a 43X recently, and I go in these forms. Do I want the government in there? A miss is a miss. You miss stuff, bad, period. But a counter overreaction of calling for the government to be monitoring every single chat room on Roblox and elsewhere, folks, I'm telling you, haven't seen the technology, that's not the answer. It's not. It It makes the FBI's job really easy. But you know what it makes really hard? Abiding by constitutional principles and your freedom to be left alone if you're doing nothing wrong. Be really careful about this stuff. Secretary Noem coming up. I want to talk about this. This is the misinformation piece I was talking about. This is how the media does the framing, the narrative building, where they get a story out there that rockets around the globe. And by the time the story is corrected in this asymmetric warfare game, it's already too late. People already believe it. This CBS news piece came out yesterday. This is narrative building.

It's meant to make you believe that Donald Trump and his team of Jack Black-booted thugs are out there deporting people who've been in the country or Laura Biden. They were just sitting there watching a movie in the movie theater doing nothing wrong. And a bunch of people rolled in and ripped them out in a movie theater. That's the narrative they want you to believe. It is not That's not what's happening. They were targeting criminals, violent criminals, people accused of breaking their law. And as I've told you now, and I'll bring it up again later, sometimes other illegals hang out with other illegals who've committed crimes so they get deported, too. You shouldn't be in the country illegally. Here's the CBS news story he was talking about. Camila Montoya-Galvez. Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's first year back in office had violent criminal records. Document shows. You read that headline, you're like, wow, man, that's talking about 80 plus % of people now who, quote, is the leftist narrative. Now, they didn't do anything wrong. They're getting to put, well, they're in the country illegally, which means you did something wrong. There's a process to come into the country.

Trisha McGlacklin has been doing a good job batting some of this stuff down, DHS spokesperson. She put out this tweet that now clarifies, you want to know the truth or not? If you don't want to know the truth, this isn't the show for you. Drug trafficking, distribution of child pornography, burglary, fraud, DUI, embezelment, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling are all categorized, according to some of the stuff, as non-violent crimes. She notes, like we said, 70% of those illegal aliens arrested under President Trump and Secretary Noe have pending criminal charges or prior convictions. Folks, I live this stuff. The President has a different approach to this. I've told you this a quadrillion million times. If you're in the country illegally, he's given you about five minutes to cooperate. If you have information about a bigger fish that needs to be arrested and they can use you. If they can't use you, you're out. You're not spending any time in any unnecessary time beyond the obvious in our detention facilities where we got to feed you, take care of you, do all this stuff. You're going back to your home country. That's it. You may say, Well, that seems obvious.

It's not. It had never been done before on this scale. Nothing close had been done on this scale. Nothing. That's why the crime rate is so freaking low right now because of this revolutionary approach to this stuff. The rapid response account, 47, put this out on Twitter as well. The fake news seems to think that illegal alien drug traffickers, drunk drivers, burglars, and those weapons charges whom they classify as non-violent offenders, should be left alone, allowed to roam freely within the United States, not under this administration. This This is the stuff we have to shoot down. This is where over the past year, I really missed you guys, because I would read this stuff. I told you when I came back in my first appearance with Haley on her show, that Obamacare story drove me nuts. I can't believe Republicans didn't fight back harder. The Democrats want more taxpayer money for Obamacare despite running for years that Obamacare was going to make health care cheaper and more affordable. The Republicans had almost Not all of them, but a feckless response to this. We got a subsidized Obamacare with more money. Why not just say the whole thing is shit?

And that's why the Democrats are trying to bail it out with more of your money, even though they told you, require less of your money. I missed it so much debunking these just ridiculous narratives. There have been more wins as well. Excuse me. The TPS, temporary protected status. This is the stuff you don't hear about from them outside of media outlets that want to play it straight. See this tweet right here? Is it a Fox news story? The temporary protected status where a bunch of people were staying in the country almost permanently. Keep this up a second. Ninth Circuit issues orders, siding with Trump DHS on terminating TPS for Nicaragua, Nepal, and Honduras. Folks, it was called TPS That's temporary protected status. It was not meant to be a permanent get-out-of-jail free card where you get to stay in the country forever. That's why it was called temporary protected status. The court ruled the government's likely to win its case for terminating the status. There's more progress for the Libbs and the other folks who want you to believe nothing's ever happening. The Minnesota case with the anti-ice protests and the fraud. They're up to now, apparently close to 158 and growing arrests.

I told you, there's a limitation on the number of United States attorneys. The federal government doesn't have nationwide as many district attorneys, city, states attorneys as municipalities, the state, local, territorial, and tribal folks do. However, that's a pretty good haul and pretty good number of people. It's not the end game, but you see from this, you see all the other people pretending nothing's ever happening. It is happening. 158 arrests on these anti-ice protests. It was zero hedge. Feds have charged 158 anti-ice agitators with federal crimes in Minnesota. Is this the end? This just means we stop calling for accountability? It doesn't mean any of that stuff. Not even close. It just means that a psychological operation to depress turnout and make you believe nothing is happening, so you sit at home and don't vote, which leads to an impeachment of President Trump in two years of hell and chaos again? I'm not letting it happen. I'll give you both sides of it, fair and square. I'm sorry to take a quick... This is the most ridiculous clip. I really... I hesitated to Mecklenburg County. Have you guys seen this? I hesitated I wanted to put this into the show.

But folks, if you're going to be a public servant and you're going to raise your right-hand and swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States and your state's Constitution and documents, Then you should at least understand basic things. I get it. Once in a while, people are going to ask you, Did you see the clip out of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina? You should know basic stuff. If you You don't know the exact precise number of, say, white collar crypto crime arrests, and you may be off by 10: 00 or 15: 00, say, Hey, I'll get back to you. But knowing the basic structure of government is a big deal. This clip went nuclear for all the wrong reasons. Out of North Carolina, the sheriff there in Mecklenburg County is being questioned. I genuinely believe believe this. The representative asking him the question just asks him about the branches of government. I swear to you, this is not one of those got you questions. You can see by his reaction. He's genuinely stunned that the guy doesn't know. This is not a got you Question at all. If you haven't seen this cut, get ready for serious 100 out of 100 on the cringe scale.

Check this out. Government, do you operate under? Mcenborough County. What branch of government do you operate under, Sheriff? Constitution of the United States. Correct. That is what establishes the branches of government. I'm asking which branch you fall under. Mecumbert County. Duly sworn Mecumbert County Sheriff, we answer to the people of Mecumbert County. This was not where I was anticipating getting stuck. Are you aware of how many branches of government there are? No. Okay. For the sake of debate, I will move on and say there are three branches of government: legislative, executive, Executive Judicial. Of those three, which do you believe you fall under? I believe I fall under the last one. Would you say it to me? Judicial. Okay. You are incorrect, sir. You fall under the executive. The chat? Yes, I see you guys in the chat. I see Mutley's in there, not bright, okay, hum, fluoro, 5, E, damn. Coups, zero, zero. This is just terrible. Guys, ladies, it's not like he just gets the first question wrong. He just continues to double down. I don't like pylons. I don't. I really don't. I Try to avoid them? No. You got to know.

At least get one of them right. Do better. Just do better. Go home and pick up a Charlie Brown encyclopedia. Again, I'm not telling you as a public servant that you're not going to screw up an answer. It happens sometimes. Sometimes you're asked about a program that's operating underneath you. You've only been briefed on the atmospherics of it. Hey, I'll get back to you later. Fine. Okay. But people in government should be held to a higher, not a lower standard. It certainly It's not about the pay, but it's about the principles. And that's why accountability matters. That leads me to this other clip. I don't know if you saw this that had been making its way around social media, of a judge reducing significantly the sentencing of this guy convicted of a horrific crime and sympathizing with the perp and not the victim. They had no chance at life. Neither did the victim. This is why people have lost faith in institutions, folks, and it's going to take a long damn time to get them back. Check this out. Judge Davis thought the jury's recommendation was too long.

She feels he hasn't mentally matured yet and never had a a real shot at getting any help early in life. But if you were to come in here and instead of being hurt and angry, which is what this court hears, as a 20-year-old African-American male that has been experienced this society, et cetera, and you would show that, yes, okay, this is the situation.

This is who I am.

I don't want to be this person anymore. I don't want to be in jail for forever. Thompson repeatedly stated he did not care, not about his sentence, the victim, or her family.

But Judge Davis emphasized she's the one that holds the pen, and regardless of what the media may think, she applies the law. To her, 65 years was an extremely long time. As she puts it, it's his whole life, one she doesn't believe should be spent entirely behind bars.

This court does not believe that Mr. Thompson, if giving the resources that he can get while incarcerated, is beyond being rehabilitated.

He's not going to get the resources. He's going to spend his whole life in jail. Oh, boohoo. Cry me a river, man. This is what happens when you view the world in this utopian, polyamish vision, where you don't see the balance between good and evil, evil that's very real. You see the bad guy, the perpetrator, as being a victim of a corrupt society. Folks, that's not the way this is ever going to work. Victims have rights, too. That stuff pisses me off. I don't want to keep the secretary waiting anymore. I'm really excited about this interview. So now Madam Secretary, the DHS Secretary, Christie Noem. Really excited to have this guest today, a vast body of both legislative and now law enforcement experience, Statehouse Congress, governor of South Dakota, and now our absolutely incredible and an President of the Year, Secretary of Homeland Security, Christie Noem. Madam Secretary, thank you so much for spending some time with us today. So much to talk about. Really appreciate it.

No, thank you, Dan. I appreciate it, too. The Department of Homeland Security does a lot of different things to keep our country safe, and it's great to be able to have a conversation about it.

Well, it was incredible to be able to work with you and your team on the inside. We had so many projects together. But I think one of the projects, unfortunately, we all had to perpetually deal with is media BS and misinformation. I love and worship the freedom of the press, but that gives them the freedom to say really dumb things. I saw one of them yesterday. It was a CBS piece. It totally mischaracterized their reference. It rocketed around the internet saying something to the effect of only 14% of people who are deported are basically criminals or convicted of violent crimes. That's a total mischaracterization of the deportation efforts led by you, the AG, the FBI, ERO, DHS, and elsewhere. I'd like you to just give your perspective on that and how they skewed the story and framed it all wrong.

That's probably the thing that shocks me the most, Dan, is how many times every single day we have to correct false stories and information that's out there in the press that just isn't accurate, how they're lying about what we're doing to secure our country each and every day. So yes, that CBS story was completely false. It doesn't reflect any of the real charges and convictions that individuals have against them that we're arresting and removing out of this country. It doesn't include DUIs or child pornography, distribution of drugs or use of drugs. It doesn't have any of those convictions attached to that article or that percentage in there. 70% of the individuals that we've arrested have charges or criminal convictions against them, and those are the individuals we're bringing to justice and getting out of our country.

Yeah. Earlier in the show, we put up a tweet by Trisha, who's doing an excellent job trying to correct a lot of this nonsense. Trisha McGlacklin, hat tip to her, showing how when you categorize people by pending criminal charges, again, it's indicated DUI, possession of disgusting child pornography, and things like that. All of a sudden, the number rockets up by a factor of 4 to 5. It's a totally different number. Again, it's how the media frames these things and these narratives start to calcify and rocket around the world. You and I lived it from day one. You know how it works. I was trying to explain this on the show the other day, and I'd love your perspective because your team is actually leading the efforts. The Department of Justice and FBI were in a supplemental role in ERO, removal operations for deportations. What winds up happening is we are not out there targeting grandma. But what winds up happening is you go out and target, say, like you said, someone who's holding a bunch of child pornography or DUI guys in the country illegally. Sometimes they're hanging around, oftentimes with other people who are in the country illegally, who still broke the law.

When you raise your right-hand, Madam Secretary, you didn't say, I'm going to just enforce a law for some people, and then they may get deported to Title 8. That's how it works. And that's why that number isn't 100 %.

No, absolutely. You're correct, Dan. We go out there. That invasion allowed thousands and thousands of dangerous people into our country. When the Southern border was opened under the Biden administration, millions of people flooded into this country, and other countries sent their degenerates. They emptied out their prisons, their mental institutions, and they all came to America. And now that's what keeps me awake at night is who is in this country now that is a terrorist, a suspected terrorist, a criminal, and someone who's victimizing the American people. And that's who we target every single day. Now, when we find those targets, when we know they're known traffickers or they're members of TDA or MS 13, or they've been out there perpetuating crimes across the country, we always see who they're surrounded with, who are those individuals that they're with. Many times, they have other criminals that are here in this country illegally around them, and we make sure that we follow the same law enforcement procedures we have for years. We haven't changed how we operate at all. When we go after those targets, we find them, we make sure that those individuals that are with them in that apartment or in that surroundings or where we've come into contact with them, that those individuals aren't dangerous as well.

And Madam Secretary, I don't know why this is even controversial. I I'm married to a legal immigrant to the country, went through the process. No one's saying, Do not come to the United States. We're saying, There's a process. Go to a port of entry, get a visa, go through the green card process, go through the naturalization process. There's a process. It's a process for boarding a plane. There's a process everywhere else. If you're in the country illegally and you're caught up because you're hanging around with criminals, you are going to be deported. I know working with your team, Secretary Cristino is like, Hey, you know what? Well, you're the nice ones. I'm really sorry, but you broke the law. I mean, the commercials out on TV are pretty clear on this. We're giving you the opportunity to go home and come back the right way at some point, maybe. But if you're here illegally, you're going to go.

That's right. Every single individual has received due process. They've been through the procedure and the legal remedy for dealing with individuals who don't have legal status in our country. I tell members of Congress all the time who are out there creating false narratives and spewing rhetoric. We just follow the law. What the Department of Homeland Security is doing is what the last administration should have done. We follow the law, and we've won many of the challenges in court. But every single day, the media individual lie about the work that we're doing. And what we're doing is specifically what President Trump promised. He just promised he'd make America safe again. He'd go after criminals, and he'd deport them out of the country so they couldn't continue to victimize American families. And we've been incredibly successful with that. And in fact, And just by enforcing the law, we've sent the message clearly around the world that the United States, you can't come here illegally anymore. We now have a border, and we're enforcing that. We've had millions of people that have left our country voluntarily, that we have given them a dollar, $1,000 before. We've now upped it to $2,600 and a plane ticket, and they can go home the right way and get the chance to come back to the United States.

But sending that message has slowed down the flood of people that were coming to the United States and making sure that we're enforcing our laws, encouraging people to go back home, make your life in your country, and then when you want to become an American, then do it the right way and follow our laws.

Madam Secretary, the left, it's almost comical that they pledge this allegiance to science and data. And yet you just said something before we were talking about making America safe again. The President, through his leadership, is in charge. I played earlier in the show a clip by RFK. Rfk It was pretty clear that the President is he wants you to get the mission done. He's not into this cutesy time stuff. You want a friend, get a dog. He wants results. You know it, I know it. You know, you're having a coffee with your Mar-a-Lago or whatever. But you better damn well produce results. So through partnerships with DOJ, DHS, your incredible agents over there, FBI, marshals over at DOJ, DEA, all these various operations, deportations and the violent crime push, summer heat. Violent crimes now at the lowest... The drop is unprecedented in modern history. The murder rate, we haven't seen this low since, I think it was something like the early 1900s. These are real results. You think the media, the science party, would be celebrating this stuff.

Yeah, we've got the lowest murder rate in 125 years in this country because of President Trump enforcing the law and going after those dangerous criminals. And we've also got, Dan, because of enforcing the law at the Southern border, the fentanyl deaths in the United States just in the last year have dropped by over 30 %. So he has literally saved millions of lives by the amount of drugs that we're interdicting, by the amount of people that we're bringing to justice that we're perpetuating these crimes. Just remarkable, the achievements that President Trump has brought to bear in the United States because he's following through on what he promised during that campaign. So, yeah, I think RFK is exactly right. The President wants results. He wants us to make a difference, go out there and be bold, enforce the law, but do what he promised. And we get the chance to do that every day at our Department.

Well, you have a unique perspective on this. Again, having been a governor, having been a member of Congress, you You've seen the political garbage engagements. I mean, it happens. Politics is horse trading. It's not a monarchy. You don't just say, go forth to love and serve and do whatever you want. You've got to give a little and take a little. Hopefully, you take a little bit more. But that's not this president. You've probably seen in the past how it's like, well, let's poll Tess, lick our fingers, see where the wind is blowing. Let's see what this person thinks, see how the media is going to respond. You know it happens. It has with a thousand other politicians and presidents in the past, both parties do it. This President You've seen it, I've seen it. He just doesn't do that. He's so mission-focused. That's why I played this Kevin O'Leary clip the other day about signal versus noise. This guy's all signal. He just doesn't care about the noise. He's like, Hey, Christie, drop the damn crime rate and deport people. Okay, Mr. President. He's not going to sit there and take a poll test on every single thing.

He wants the mission done.

Yeah, that's exactly right. He's so decisive this term, and I worked with him a little bit the first term, but I was serving in Congress then and then as governor. But now that I get the chance to work in his cabinet and to lead the department, he's so decisive. He wants you to take your department and go do the right thing and follow through on what he said. And what I think people don't realize is how often he's communicated meeting with all of us. He's calling me every day, texting me. We're having conversations. He's asking questions, but he wants to make sure that we're actually making progress. He doesn't want to waste time. He's very aware that we only have three years left. We only have three years left to fundamentally put this country back on its foundation. The Department of Homeland Security was established after 9/11, when our country was attacked by terrorists. And this agency has 23 different departments under its umbrella. So We have everything from FEMA, which is responsible for the continuation of government, TSA, which is a security at our airlines across the country. We have Secret Service, we have the Coast Guard.

I mean, lots of different topics and different breadth of issues that happen in this department. He recognizes the complexity of that, but also the singular mission that's to defend our homeland. And if people can't be safe here, then they don't have the chance of an American dream. So he's very much grieved and bothered by the stories of Americans who've lost loved ones because of illegal crime, those who've lost people and friends and their treasures to people that shouldn't be here to begin with. And he hates the fraud that he's seen, where American taxpayers dollars have been stolen by people and funneled overseas to people who shouldn't be receiving those benefits. He very much cares about all of that and wants to see results, and he wants to see it fixed now.

Yeah. I tell people all the time, his favorite question is, why Why not? Outside of constitutional legal restrictions, well, why can't we do that? Well, the murder rate has never been that low. Well, why not? Why can't we get it lower? If you told them there were 13,000 homicides, it was low. He's like, Why aren't there 12? It's his favorite question is why not? But a current political football right now that unfortunately involves your department is this funding over DHS that you, again, haven't been a member of Congress. You're all too familiar with these fights. You've probably been through quite a few yourself. This should not be a political football. It is literally We call the Department of Homeland Security. There should be nothing controversial about the funding now. Ice will probably be okay. This isn't great for anyone. However, if this funding, based on these unreasonable ridiculous demands the Democrats are putting out there for DHS is held up. You have TSA, you have Secret Service, you're not just ICE, CBP, DHS. You've got a lot of departments under the DHS that would be pretty severely impacted.

Yeah, we do. We have weapons of mass destruction, intelligence and analysis. We've got science and technology. We've got some national labs. Just the breadth of this department is all focused on keeping the homeland safe. And when you don't fund that, just day to day activities are jeopardized. I tell people all the time, my best days are days that you don't hear about anything bad happening, because those are days that we did our job, that our airports were safe. Nobody got through a security checkpoint that was dangerous, that secret Service was able to keep all of its protectees safe. The Coast Guard, did its missions with the Department of War successfully, and made sure that they were interdicting and stopping people at the Southern border, that CBP was collecting all of our tariffs and doing it accurately while they were screening different products and goods and shipping containers coming into this country. Those are my best days. But if you don't fund this Department because of ICE, because of 11 % of the budget that funds ICE, it shows that you don't truly understand what our mission is. Or you don't care about the country and the security of our country.

So that's what is dangerous about these Democrats, is they're using a little small agency of ICE that's 11 % of the budget and putting our entire security in jeopardy. And ICE is going to be funded anyway. So because of the big, beautiful bill, they have enough funding to keep going. The ones that didn't receive funding under that bill, such as TSA and Secret Service, and those are ones that will truly be hurt.

Yeah. I think you said something really important there, too. We used to say in the Secret Service, no one ever thanks you for keeping the President safe. It's assumed. That's your job. That's what you do. And in the FBI and with your Department over DHS, no one knows about the terror attack. We stopped because we stopped it, and we don't necessarily advertise all of it. Some of it, if there's an arrest in this process, gets out to the public, but some of it still remains classified, and you don't hear about a lot of that. And that's the stuff Democrats up on the Hill, Hipsy and Sissy, they know about this stuff, and they know it's going to create a dangerous situation for the country, and they either don't care or they don't care enough to actually do the right thing. Just a couple more minutes with you. I know you're busy, and I appreciate your time. I know it's an active, ongoing criminal case, Don Lemon, with this, but that case really epitomized for me, this martyr complex the modern media has, where there's a conflict of your civil rights, your bill of rights, entitlement to practice your religion for free, versus the freedom of the press, which we all respect.

However, when they conflict, we have a process in courts and they're going to figure it out. But you don't get to just walk in a church and basically terrorize people, whether you're him or anyone else. And then expect that we're not going to use the law to make sure we're in trying those other people's rights as well. They're right to practice their religion freely.

That's right. And that's what is so special about this President and this Department of Justice, is that they're going after individuals who truly do jeopardize the safety of Americans and use the law and our court system to make sure that the right decision is done. Don Lemon is not above the law. Nobody else is above the law. And this DOJ will prosecute and bring people to justice, especially individuals who are there worshiping and spending time with their families to have that be violated in the way that it was in a pre-planned, staged attack to intimidate and to scare people, I think is a very dangerous precedent to set in this country. So I'm glad that President Trump and his Department of Justice were making sure that that wasn't overlooked.

Yeah. I see there have been a number of arrests that are going to continue out of Minneapolis. A story I'm going to cover either tomorrow or the next day about that as well. Last question for you, and this is one I get from the audience all the time. There are always questions that pop up about the border wall, obviously an extremely important tool for us to delay the process. Listen, border walls, they They work. They slow people down. Is it a 100% fail-safe? I love when people say, Well, they can go get a ladder. Well, of course, murder is illegal, and people still unbelievably find ways to do it thinking they're going to get away with it. However, it is a significant obstacle. The technology is as old as the wheel and fire because it works. It stops people from walking across. Where are we on the border? Well, I've seen some stories in the news about it. How are you feeling about getting a good amount of it constructed before this term is over, this president's term?

Yeah, we've got the wall under construction. We're continuing to build. We've already contracted out over $13 billion in construction contracts. People are down there every day building miles of wall, and we need a wall. There's three different layers to the system which was planned. There's a primary wall, a secondary wall, and technology. But with President Trump, the conversations I've had with him is we need to prioritize the primary of the wall. We need to make sure that we don't just have technology in a space where the administration, if they don't care about a secure border, can turn that technology off. So building that wall is incredibly important, and the schedule right now is set that it will be completed by January of 2028. So we're building fast. We're grateful Congress gave us the dollars to do that and recognize that that's a big part of our security, and we're underway in getting it done.

Madam Secretary, you're doing an amazing job. Listen, I tell my audience all the time, no squishes on the show. You You're the best. Working with your team was incredible. You know how I can tell, by the way? The left wing media hates you. So if they hate you, you're always doing a good job so that they always target the people who are effective. You're doing amazing. Your department was a pleasure to work with. The Emergency removal ops have had an amazing effect on our national security. A real message has been sent. The United States is safe again. The border is safe again. It's due to your leadership over there. It's really been an honor to have you on the show. Thanks so much for keeping America safe again.

We really I appreciate it. You're fantastic, Dan. Thank you so much for all of your work in the administration and outside to make sure that people know the truth of what's going on, what's wrong, what needs to be fixed, and what President Trump, what his plan is to make sure that we are safe again and that we are secure and we still continue to be an example to the world. So thank you.

Thank you, man. I appreciate your time. All right, folks, that was Secretary of Homeland Security, Christie Noem. Again, I can tell you, I haven't worked with her team. They're doing an incredible job. These emergency removal operations have had a huge A huge impact on national security. Look at the number. Don't take my word for it. Just look at the numbers. Go put it in the Google machine or whatever. Violent crime reduction. Donald Trump, murder rate, lowest in modern American history. May turn out to be next year, the lowest in American history ever. Because I'm telling you, this guy does not take victory labs. The President, he's like, I'm his lowest? Well, let's make it lower. I didn't mean to make it lower than that. That's how he works.
