Transcript of Prince Andrew Arrested (Ep. 2456)

All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. Folks, it becomes more obvious by the day that the clear goal of the left-wing media liberal, politician, scum symbiote is to hang a black cloud over Trump with everything that comes out on Epstein and everything. Anything else. You saw it yesterday. I'm going to play for you one of the most... After all we've been through over the last 10 plus years with the scum in the media, to say one of the most disgusting pieces of agit prop bullshit I've ever seen coming from a left winger, that's saying a lot. What Ted Lou who just did this just piece of human waste is, I mean, even beyond the pale for a group of people in DC who the standards couldn't be lower for. Of course, we got the other breaking news. Prince Andrew arrested. We got a massive buildup outside of Iran. Trump speaking at the Board of Peace today. It's an incredibly busy news day. I don't want to waste any more time. Let's get right to it. Today's show brought to you by All Family Pharmacy.

I'm being an old 51. I feel Every ounce of it. But you got to stay ahead of that. Hey, the last year's opened my eyes to a lot of things, but there's one I found particularly disturbing. There's a lot of infighting going on. We all agree on these things, right? Freedom of speech, the right to life, 2A, the Second Amendment, supporting our military and first responders. We got to stay focused on these things. We got elections coming up. We got a movement to preserve. There's one company that's been fighting for our rights, and they supported this program in the very beginning, and that's Patriot Mobile.

Patriotmobil. Com/dan. That's patriotmobil. Com dot com/danvee. And another thing I got to add in is the teaser for the rest of the show. Watching the media people, by the way, I know I own you guys and your outlets. I get it. I understand how you hang on every word and the face-clawing and the screeching that you just can't make it go away, that the show keeps coming back every day, every day with hundreds of thousands of audio views and millions of video views.

I know it drives you nuts that it's one of the top live streams in the world. I get it, the seethe. I can feel it. The diapers loading up right now, the crying, the screeching. I understand, guys. I understand. But the meltdown yesterday over my interview with Cash has got to be one of the greatest double-barrel middle finger moments I've ever had. I just love the fact that you bullshitted people for a year about what we did to produce the safest America since 1900 on the numbers.

The Trump administration did that, and you just can't handle it. And we had to correct you, and you couldn't take it. The meltdown yesterday was just gorgeous to watch.

I had to put out a tweet about it, and they hang on my every word, every single word. Hang in.

You're there right now. I see you through the camera. I'll get to that, too. First, Wall Street Journal. Massive, massive buildup of arms overseas. Do you need to do double bells today? Yeah, it's all right. No problem. You're fired.

Just kidding.

Us gathers the most air power in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion. Listen, folks, this is obviously a deadly serious story. I think President Trump and the negotiating team with the Iranians have had enough of their bullshit. There is zero reason to gather this armada, air power, water-based power, naval power, overseas in the region and not use it. I've been out for a couple of months. I'm not telling you anything on the inside baseball front. I think it's fairly obvious. However, it's also fairly obvious that the death to America crowd doesn't like us. Is there going to be an attack? We'll all wait and see and find out together. But this is definitely some gunboat diplomacy. The President's clearly pissed off at this point that the Iranians, even after the devastating attack in their nuclear facility, cannot seem to get their shit together. You had one of their PR officials the other day, these Iranian flacks out in the street talking about basically President Trump can't do anything. The Iranians, it's all crap. You guys are full of...

I'm not sure that's helping. When you're like a Brock Lesner type, You know, Brock Lesner, the WWUFC guy, was a wrestler in college. The guy's just a man beast.

I use this guy all the time because he's probably one of the most frightening human beings on the planet.

If you saw this guy in a dark alley and he had bad intentions, 99. 99% of men are totally screwed.

The guy would kill you in a second with his bare hands, right?

You don't go up and poke the bear. You don't walk down the alley. You just let him walk by. Sometimes you're just going to lose. And the better part of valor is sometimes to just walk away. You don't go up to go, Hey, Brock, let me test this out. There's no testing out. You're going to get your ass kicked and probably get your neck broken, too. The Iranians, you never negotiate like this on the violence end, when violence will be the end game. When you don't have the ability to follow through. It's clear as day they don't have the ability to withstand the US assault. We broke down their air defenses in seconds.

Listen, I know there's a lot of disagreement within the Republican tent. You don't need me to tell you that's okay. You're all free people. You can think for your own. I'm telling you from my perspective, that's a good thing.

It's good that Republicans from the libertarian, conservative, MAGA wing, there's a lot of overlap amongst those three wings.

Some there isn't.

Foreign affairs is one of those areas where there's pretty much three distinct wings here, maybe more. There's a lot of disagreement on what should happen in Iran. You are entitled to your own opinion. But President Trump, ultimately in the end, is the CIC, Commander-in-Chief, and he's going to make that call.

I'm just telling you that this is really expensive to do this, really expensive to engage in this military buildup like this. There's very little chance they're doing that without some intent to use gunboat diplomacy for something, for some end game. What that end game is, we're all going to find out.

Listen, keep the disagreement going. That's okay.

We're not Democrats. We're not liberals. That all parrot the same bullshit message all the time. We're allowed to talk to each other and try to engage in the persuasion game. But the CIC is going to make the call. You saw yesterday also with the Epstein release, Prince Andrew was arrested, woke up this morning, that had to redo the beginning of the show. Ironically, The beginning of the show today was going to be this Europe-EU trend towards censorship with the Macron thing. I'll tell you what I'm talking about in a minute. One of the most ridiculous public statements I've ever seen from an official out of Macron in France. We had to move that around.

It's interesting that he was arrested last night.

From what we're getting from the early... Prince Andrew, of course.

What we're getting from the early reporting is that he was actually arrested at a location and not allowed to turn himself in. I'm wondering if there's something new they found in the releases that under their law constitutes a crime, because the charge here is misconduct in office.

That we're going to find out as the process evolves. As the process evolves through their system, their judicial system, now we'll have people under oath talking about what really happened. It's interesting how went down. Because typically with someone like that, you would be negotiating with a lawyer in advance, and they would turn themselves in. That's not what happened. I want to caution you on one thing, though, here.

And by the way, a lot of this information was already out there with regards to Prince Andrew.

A lot of it was already out there. So again, I'm wondering if under their laws, because obviously we live in the United States, we're not subject to UK laws, if they found something in there, and what was the urgency to do it then, last night, in the way they did it? We'll be covering this over the course of the coming days. But I want to caution you on something. I want to play this Ted Lou clip in a second, so we can cue that up. They are clearly using every single opportunity with the Epstein release. Clearly. Using every opportunity, every comma, semicolon, whatever's in there, to try to hover a black cloud over President Trump. Folks, the transparency component and the Trump component are two separate arguments.

President Trump, every single release, they are going to try to nail President Trump because this is the logical end game for them, from Russian collusion to the Ukraine impeachment hoax. It doesn't matter if any of it's true.

I just want you to be clear on this, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, Communist, whatever your political affiliation listening to this show, there is one side of the aisle that is exclusively full of shit.

I'm not telling you, again, Republicans are the answer to all your problems. I'm not. I am not. You got it? Get it? Got it? Good. I'm telling you the cause of all your problems and the lack of trust institutions and the loss of faith in any truth or load star when it comes to media, politics or anything is the Democrats. They lie about everything all the time. Everything. Nothing they tell you about a policy issue, Epstein, health care, taxes, the border. Nothing is true. What I saw yesterday in this clip is one of the most grotesque, disgusting abominations I've ever seen from a filth bag of a human being, a disgusting piece of filth.

Ted Lieu, L-I-E-U. Here's Ted Lieu on the Epstein files and President Trump. Again, if you've got even kids around, this is just disgusting. Check this out. Why are Republicans so interested in Bill Hillary Clinton? It's because they're trying to distract from the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. Folks, there's no doubt getting these things out there. Zero doubt. We've now discussed this four or five times. That's why I get a kick out of, again, the media people. You hang on every word. I know you're there. We've now discussed this often. It was a long and messy process, but now they're out there, and now you can see for yourself what's out there. Does any sane person actually believe what this asshole just said? Now, Now, why are they doing that? Well, because they lie. It's fairly obvious that they hate Donald Trump. I get that.

But why tactically now have they latched on to the Epstein files release to try to tarnish Donald Trump with every single comma and colon in those files?

Gee, throw up that poll.

Because nothing they do with this guy sticks with the President.

@ppolling numbers, political polls verified account over on our ex Twitter.

New A Trump approval poll.

New, which is, by the way, it's February 19, so it's not taken from three weeks ago.

Approval, 50 %.

Disapproved, 46 %.

According to this poll, he's got 50 % approval. Folks, nothing sticks. Do you remember when I was doing the show years ago with Trump 45, the first term? Do you remember, folks in the chat, a why, yes, no, if you don't, or just, if you don't remember, don't respond, whatever. Do you remember the show your ass theory with Donald Trump?

This is what's behind this.

You remember what it was?

Democrats know, especially lunatics like Ted Lou, who were in districts where they have zero chance of losing an election. They're like, Democrat plus 40.

They know that Trump hysteria to the point of like, he's a fascist. No, he's an ultra fascist. He's a Nazi. He's a killer. He rapes kids. He eats kids. He's killed kids.

No, he's never been called a racist. No, that's right. It's a good point, Guy.

Next segment.

He's apparently never been called a racist. Eto'keefe is like, I don't know. I don't remember that. The Trump's show your ass there. I see somebody in the chat remember. I see a lot of whys in there.

This is where this comes from. Ted Lou understands that he's got it to get on TV, ratchet up his game. He actually likes us talking about him like this, because in his district, people hate Dan Bongino, too. So like, oh, if Dan Bongino doesn't like Ted Lou, my enemy is my friend.

So it actually works for him in a bit of a Streisand effect thing, which we will discuss, too, today in the show.

So they have to ratchet up and show their asses more and more.

Here's a little of this. Here's a little crack.

Here's a little of this. Here's my whole ass. They got to keep... They don't care how silly they look to normal Americans who are laughing at them. Nobody believes Donald Trump was eating kids. He doesn't give a shit. If he doesn't ratchet up and show his whole ass to everyone on the Democrat side, he's going to look like a softy to an increasingly radicalized AOC, Bernie Sanders It's Mamdani base. That loves this stuff, folks. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, man, I'm not messing with this. This topic is going to come up a lot today. I've said to you often, government scares me a lot.

A lot.

I mean, it keeps me up at night. Like I said, I sleep just fine. But if there was going to be something that keeps me up at night, it's freaking government because people are government.

It's not robots.

People are policy and government. I saw that shocked me to my core tweet was about what they did with Crossfire, and you're seeing some releases coming out about that now, too, in South Florida.

I'll get into that another time when it starts to come together. I don't want to engage in any TikTok stuff or any of that. We'll see when it happens.

But you're already seeing now, that come together. What people can do when they have the power of government in their hands, people like Ted Lou, is freaking scary. Their clear goal is to use this process to tarnish President Trump. Folks, nothing they've done is stuck. That's why the show your ass theory is in effect. Let's try to get him on inflation. Show some more of your ass, say something crazy.

He's definitely a racist. Let's get them on the border. Borders at zero illegal migrants submitted.

Show a little more of your ass. That didn't work. Let's get them on the economy faltering. Fed predicts 5 % GDP growth. Atlanta Fed next year. That didn't Here's my whole ass. Well, that's not working either. What do we do now? Epstein files he ate kids, raped and ate kids. This shit works for them. They're appealing to a bunch of lunatics. This is why these people in charge scares the shit out of me. Folks, these people are freaking nuts. They will lie, cheat, steal, do anything. And when they have the power of handcuffs and bracelets in their hands, I'm telling you, they will do anything. The writing's on the wall here. You saw this approval rate. Nothing they're doing is sticking. You're going to see next, you think this isn't going to get worse? Next, it's going to be like, not only did he eat kids, he cooked them in his stew and tortured them for weeks at a time before he ate them. The people love this shit on the left. That's why you have this mass outbreak of leftist violence, trans violence. They stir people up. Look at what these people are doing, eating Kids, good for transparency.

But this is going to serve as a lot of fodder for liberal media scumbags and lunatics like Ted Lou to just constantly show you They're entirely tired. Next thing you know, it's going to be they'll show you the front, too. That's next. They're the real lunatics. Folks, the writing is on the wall with these people. We are in a really, really dangerous place.

Again, I I don't want this to ever be the panic show. I woke up this morning, the sunrise was absolutely beautiful.

Sun was out in Florida. You get these orange colors, a little bit of pink in there, some light blues, some deep blues.

You still see a little bit of moon overhead. The world's a beautiful place. You got kids, you got soccer games with the kids. You got a great movie to get you all emotional.

And they're like, This is supposed to be fake.

How is it? The world's full of these beautiful moments. But listen, it's a dangerous place. And you've got scumbags like Ted Lou out there, and It's now cancerous growth on the globe, Emmanuel Macron. When these people are empowered, this is the stuff. If men were angels, again, Fedro's 51, they're not. You've got to keep a vigilant eye on the price of liberty is going to be this eternal sense of vigilance. Here's what I'm talking.

This is what I was going to start the show with before this massive amount of breaking news came out this morning.

The writing is on the wall. It's not that totalitarianism is decades or two decades or a century away. People are talking about totalitarian principles like free speech, getting thrown out the window, weaponizing government. They're talking about it right now. Here's Macron. Horrifying that he actually said this publicly, basically attacking the basic tenets of free speech. You're seeing this in the EU now with just a renewed focus on censorship for ideas they don't like. This can turn bad at the snap of a finger. And it already is through the Digital Services Act.

Check this out. Free speech is a pure bullshit. If nobody knows how you are guided through this so-called free speech, especially when it's to be guided from one hated speech to another hated speech. I just want to have a transparent road through these different speeches, and I want, by the way, to have a public order.

I want to avoid racist speech, hated speech, and so on.

This is my point.

The third one Who gets to categorize what hate speech and free speech is? Folks, you understand how dangerous this is? They're the ones who want to categorize what hate speech is. What's hate speech going to be?

Tell me in the chat.

You know it.

You know what's going to be categorized as hate speech.

Any speech they don't like that promotes anticommunism, anti-liberalism, anti-progressivism, or whatever euphemism you want to use to call this totalitarian regimes.

By the way, Guy reminded me. I'm sorry. I put together the show at the beginning of the show at the last minute. I forgot. So forgive me. I'm going to dial this back a little bit. Rewind the tape, although we don't use tape anymore. Here was President Trump in a clip we just pulled this morning on Prince Andrew. What is this from, Guy? This is from a long time, 10 years ago. Check this out.

You raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein in your remarks in the Q&A. I think he's got a problem. What do you think the problem will be?

I don't know, but that island was This is really a cesspool.

There's no question about it.

Just ask Prince Andrew. Hey, what's going on in the chat? Did we lose your sound? We did. It's good now? Tell me in the chat. Okay. How long has it been out? Let me know in a chat. Sound is back. It's back? As soon as I mentioned a blanket. Okay. All right. You got to play it again because they didn't hear the sound. Sorry, guys, but don't edit the whole thing later on because it takes forever to get it up on Apple. We'll just leave it as part of the show. Sometimes It happens. All right, play that again and don't cut off the sound this time. Thank you for letting us know. The Andrew thing with Trump. They didn't hear it. There was no sound. Yeah, play it again.

You raised the question of Jeffrey Epstein in your remarks in the Q&A. I think he's got a problem. What do you think the problem will be? I don't know, but that island was really a cesspool. There's no question about it.

Just ask Prince Andrew.

He'll tell you about it.

Okay. Trump is always right. So thank you for letting us know. Thank God for the chat. I would have just kept talking. I would have had to read lips, and I'm not particularly good at reading lips. But I did have to... Jasmine, do you see with the geet? Come on. It's a little bit of like... It's not that cold in here. All right. Back to what we were talking about before. Sorry to jump around, but again, it's a huge news day.

Folks, the writing's on the wall. You see even this article in the Financial Times. You're seeing people now move towards this totalitarian censorship model. And if you can't talk, any of your other rights don't matter. What does it matter if you're free to assemble or petition if you can't actually say anything when you're assembling or petitioning the government? Financial Times, you're banned social media? Perhaps we should all be banned from social media. No, perhaps we shouldn't.

Stephen Bush, you wrote the article. Folks, I really... I don't know. I guess I've been, again, speaking candidly with you over the past year that you can't go through an experience like that and have it not change you, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. But I told you when I put out that viral tweet, I didn't expect to go as nuclear as it did, about when I was reading these crossfire documents, a lot of the basis of some of this activity you're seeing going on now. I couldn't believe how easily these guardrails collapsed. But I want to warn you about the fragile nature of power, folks.

We have lived in a system for so long that's been relatively stable compared to other governments around the world where coups and military overthrows are a daily event sometimes, that we just take it for granted. We're in a dangerous This is a dangerous spot now with people like Ted Lou and others, after what happened to Trump in the fake New York trial in Georgia, the Georgia incident.

This is not a brave New World. This is a cowardly new world. Here's Thomas Sowell in a brief clip here. This is decades old, but it's important. This guy's just a brilliant intellect. Talking about the fragile nature of power and why coups don't happen here, but happen all over the world, everywhere else?

Basically, that's the question. Because military coups all over the world are the norm, not the exception. Why are we? Why haven't we been subjected to the same thing?

Check this out.

The orders by him. The troops had the guns. They could have done what they wanted to do, but they chose to follow his orders. That's why they have the government they have rather than the profoundly different government. I think there's a tendency, and perhaps Marx has to be blamed for some of this, to think of, quote, the objective conditions of society and so forth. I think those objective conditions are greatly overrated. Those objective conditions are the products of subjective things, and those kinds of things don't migrate very well.

Brilliant. Brilliant. If you ever want a little dose of wisdom in your day, check out Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedmann, Hayek, Schumpeter, any of them. Brilliant. The essence of conservatism is conserving valuable ideas that have lasted over time. And man, let me tell you, Thomas Sowell has a lot of them. All right, I'm going to take a quick break, and I want to get to this segment yesterday, the just incredible media crash out, the rage fest over my interview with FBI Director Patel. They were stunned, stunned that we actually put out data and statistics.

They're supposed to be journalists, right? You think they report on that? The safest America ever produced over the last year. It's a fact.

You don't got to like it, media fuckwads. We don't care. We don't care. It's true. I know that bothers you because your messianic figures in the past, Merrick Garland, Obama, and Joe Biden couldn't do what the Trump administration did. I know that bothers you. And the rage out, I know it's terrible. I know I should, but the rage out just puts a big smile on my face. Okay, quick break, and we'll get to that. Whether it was my time working in government or getting back behind the microphone, one thing that keeps me going is a good night's sleep. Folks, I'm not kidding, man. Sleep will save you, and you got to get a good mattress. I've been sleeping on a Helix mattress for years. H-e-l-i-x. Not only for mental clarity, but for your physical health. You got to recover, and you recover when you sleep, but when you sleep deeply, and you're not going to sleep deeply without the right temperature in the room, without the right mattress.

She was like the relief picture, like Mariana Enter Sandman came on, the relief pitcher.

I saw her running in here with a computer in hand. She was ready to go.

With all the stuff going on, I I got to tell you, Jasmine, I didn't even know you watched the show live, but I'm impressed. All right. So, folks, it's clear right now, based on the liberal media coverage of everything going on with the Trump administration and their efforts to tear this thing apart, that they just want to burn it all down. If you think for a second that they have any allegiance to the truth or principles, you're insane. You're out of your mind. They don't.

I saw it from the other side where you would read stories, and that was the I love the job in the past year.

It was an amazing experience. My wife asked me last night, any regrets being off the air for a year? We were talking, we were watching some show about the Dallas Cowboys. And I said, no, none at all. I mean, I We learn so much from it. But I'm going to tell you, one of the difficult parts of it was when you're working in the administration, it's not about you. It's about the administration. So you can't respond to every little thing. Well, not only that, if you did, you get the Streisand effect, and you wind up just bringing attention to lose users who haven't earned your attention. So you got to be careful about what you respond to. But watching them write these just obscenely ridiculous stories, you sit back and read them, and you were there in the room, and you'll be...

Say there was one story about this thing that happened.

I was at the White House, and you read the story and you're like, I was there.

That's not what happened at all. Like, well, an anonymous source said, There's no way the anonymous source was there, too, because I know everyone in the room and they weren't the source. So somebody made that shit up. This happens All the time.

All the time. So they want a narrative out there, and they get really pissed off when the narrative doesn't stick. And this Trump approval rating thing at 50%, this latest poll is driving them freaking bananas. Nothing you're doing is working. This was possibly the dumbest media moment. I was going to put this later in the show. I was going to set up the next segment about their meltdown yesterday over my interview because they just can't defeat the stats. Here's Ed O'Keefe. I don't know Ed very well. Again, not this is personal, but this is just so ridiculous.

I can't believe he said this publicly in a Caroline Levet press briefing yesterday.

He asked Caroline a question because Donald Trump had said in a tweet that people call him racist and it's bullshit and stuff. Ed O'Keefe is like, Well, I can't really recall a time that's happened.

What? That was an actual question, in case you missed this yesterday. Talk about media blind.

Is this guy on mushrooms? Check this.

Where or when does the President believe he's been falsely called racist?

You're kidding, right? That was an actual question.

When and where is the... Are you shitting me?

So a great follow, by the way, debunking this media bullshit is a rapidresponse47, quote on Twitter, @rapidresponse47.

Ed, you literally did the thing you asked. Here's an Ed O'Keefe tweet.

Watch, President Trump receives backlash and support over his racist tweets.

Why would you try? I don't understand why you would... This is why they rage out at this show, because all we do is present to them their own words, and they clot their faces. They piss their diapers because it's them. See, when Edo Keef, I don't know. I can't remember. Anytime Trump was called the rate, you did it. And then when I go on the air and say things like, Hey, we produce the safest America here, the data.

Oh, man, Dan Bodget.

Because they can't argue with it. What we say is real, what they say is bullshit.

The guys put together a little mini supercut, by the way. Here's a little reminder for Ed O'Keefe.

This could go on for...

I don't even know how long I'm going to play. This could go on for hours. But thank you, guys. Here's a little cut of the media people, a little tutorial for Ed calling Donald Trump racist. Check this out.

Where or when does the President believe he's been falsely called racist?

You're kidding, right? Pam Lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents we've had in modern history. He's always been a racist, a bigot, a xenophobic. This administration is racist.

That he has always been a racist.

And this rogue Department of Justice going out to do the bidding of this Timu Hitler. I don't even know what to call him. I've called him so many things, but this want to be Hitler for sure. He is paving the way to become a Vladimir Putin or to become an Adolf Hitler or a Kim Jong Un. That's what he wants to be. Donald Trump is also very old and a racist and a neo-nazi.

But Anyways. There you go, Ed. You may want to bookmark that part of the show. We are now 36 minutes and 10 seconds in.

I don't believe there's any delay. By the way, Gee, Andrea just texted me, Anita. She She loves your outfit. She thinks it's awesome. It's going to be a classic. Gee will forever be remembered for that poncho. We'll call it a poncho just to save him.

There you go, Ed. Bookmark the show.

Folks, you can't trust What do you think these people say. Why do I keep bringing it up? Because they present themselves as a paragon of truth. It's very important to think of politics in a business model, okay? Politics is a production of inputs, right? That produces an output. Same thing as producing widgets. If you're producing some plastic widget toy, what do you need? You need the plastic, you need the mold, you need the people, you need the labor, you need the time, and the capital. You mix all that together. In those inputs, you get an output. A widget, you hope to sell for a price. Correct? Business model, Charlie Brown Encyclopedia 101 economics, you all get that. Nothing new there. However, you have to look at politics the same way. If you're going to have a group of constituents, an electorate or a citizenry, all three at the same time, unfortunately, not always the same thing, given the propensity of cheating, however, you get the point.

If you're going to have them produce an informed output and vote for people who are going to better their lives, you have to give them informed inputs. That's where the country is broken down. The media is totally broken. Almost every single thing, an issue of substance, they will lie to you about the inputs. Why is the economy doing well?

4%, 5% predicted growth we haven't seen in years.

Obama never even produced 3% growth in eight years. Why? Donald Trump's not even done with his eight-year term. He's already hit that target in '45, by the way. They will lie to you. The input was Trump pro-growth policies. They will lie to you. Oh, It was chance. It was the good weather. You get how when you see those faulty inputs, you produce a faulty output that Donald Trump doesn't do it? That is why shows like this and others.

We're not the only show out there by far.

You've got a ton of options out there.

I'm deeply grateful I know you're here. I never take my audience for granted, but there are tons of options.

That is how you produce an informal electorate. You will never get it with this scum in the media, ever.

Mediaeye proves my point.

Here they are totally raging out and melting down over my interview with the FBI director, Cash Patel, who I obviously worked for as the deputy.

Mediaeye, this Charlie Nash. Charlie, do you do anything else but think about me all day? Do you have dreams during the day about me, Charlie? Is it a little weird? Should I worry about this? I mean, we have a security team. We got to bump our security for Charlie. He's broadly like Owen Boiling Bunny on us here. Every day is like a new Dan Bongino piece with Charlie Nash. I get it. Keep this up a second. The greatest superpower in the world is to command attention. I understand I own yours. But here's his coverage.

By the way, it covers none of the actual statistics we put out, which are important, about the national security of the country.

Dan Bongino and Cash Patel spend 20 minutes patting each other We're on the back at work at the FBI. You and I did a pretty good job. Charlie Nash. Here's the media game plan with Charlie and these other full diapers in the media. Media It's got a bizarre obsession with me, by the way. A little weird, weird. Lie about what happened. It's not just about our work at the FBI. The safest America in modern American history.

This is a fact.

You can You can argue with it all you want. You can look like an asshole.

Lie about the inputs. It was good weather. Criminals took trips to Mars and never came back. Joe Biden did it. Donald Trump stole it. Then you get a faulty output that none of the Trump administration officials or policies had anything to do with it.

Of course, blackpillers run with that because they hate President Trump. They want to admit it. There's a total agenda there.

Then when you go on the air and put out the actual numbers and discuss what happened, the reallocation of assets, the broken window style policing, and we try to get you proper inputs, what do they do?

They call it, you're patting each other on the back, despite actually highlighting the actual numbers they try to refute.

You get the game plan? And then they hang on your every single word.

They're obsessed with everything we do here.

You guys got to get your story right. The BDS folks, the Bongino derangement syndrome folks, you got to get your story right. We've been on the air now. We're closing it in the...

It's Thursday, right? Am I crazy, Jasmine? It's Thursday today? Okay, thank you.

This is the end of three weeks. So you got a good sample size of shows. You guys notice this every day, the liberal media folks, Justin, you see her on Twitter all the time. They're like, Man, no one's going to show up for the show. It's all good. Every day, we produce hundreds of thousands of views, one of the top live streams in the world, hundreds of thousands of audio listens on Apple and Spotify, and we're not even a video product, a full video product. Anywhere else, we're exclusive to Rumbble. We don't even multi-stream. Every single day, you come up with the same story and you get your balls kicked in.

No, yeah, that's mine, too, Justin. Nobody's going to want.

What is that? We got 72,000 people watching the show right now. 72,000. You guys are just angry that we I have a bigger microphone than you, and we have numbers to back up our stuff and our claims about the safest US in modern American history, and you've got nothing.

I don't think Trump has ever called a racist. No, actually, you implied that in your tweet, Ed. Here is another one from yesterday. This one takes the cake. This is the Daily Yeast, which is a little bit worse than Mediite, and there's always a Streisand effect here.

But this lady, Annabella Risciglioni or something, Annabella who looks about as dumb as she sound.

Annabelle Risciglioni, The Daily Beast.

This one was freaking hilarious. Again, the President's Daily Brief. Cash comes on yesterday, and he says, Listen, the President's Daily Brief is called as much because it's tailored towards the President's priorities, which is exactly why it's the President's Daily Brief. Have you ever been in one? Here's Anna Risciglioni. She's like, Cash made an unbelievable claim that the President intelligence is tailored towards the President. When Anna Bella Raskiglioni has never been a PDB at all, never even sniffed one.

She writes, she covers cash, saying the President picks and chooses which intel he wants to follow as it suits him. In Wednesday, in appearance on his former Sidekicks podcast, Patel gave an odd explanation for why the President This daily briefing is referred to as such, Anabela, I've sat in these for a year, you dipshit.

If the President shows a particular interest in an area, and there's only so much I could say here because you've never been in one, you're too stupid, these professionals who put this together will develop more information in that area. The brief doesn't go on for seven hours, you dips shit. The brief can range from a half an hour to sometimes an hour to 15 minutes, depending on his schedule. They've got to tighten it up based on what he cares. But do you not know? Here she is, Annabella Rasciglioni, alleged reporter. She looks like she's about 11 years old.

I know you're watching, Annabella.

How many PDPs have you... I'm just checking. Oh, none. So you've never seen RFIs in there?

What are those?

Request for information? It's called the President's Daily Brief because the priorities he has, he can put out, and they do all the time, RFIs, you freaking moron. This is what happens. This is what's considered like truth and justice, the media, the fourth estate.

All right, we need a timeline cleanse because the idiocy is displayed by left-wing The Dead Blue Lunatics and the media consiglieries, the Anabela Risciglionis and the Charlie Mashes or Nash, whatever the hell his name is. It can pollute your brain like Kruitzfeld Jacob's disease and prions and stuff. There's a little I'm lying, Claire. Did you see this yesterday, a celebration of Black History Month at the White House? If you missed this, I'm sorry you missed because seeing this live was epic. My wife was like, Yeah, my wife doesn't get into politics too much.

She's like, She'll sit there and watch. She pulled away from what she was doing.

There's this lady, I think her grandson, it's a tragic story, was a victim of a crime in Washington, DC. So Trump brings this woman, a Black female, she's a grandmother, to the White House and just impromptu, 2, turns over the microphone to her.

And, man, you want to talk about stealing the show Timeline Cleanze after watching the Annabelle Risciglione.

This is necessary to clean the prions out of the brain. Check this out. And then we need National Garden, which we did years ago, he brought it on.

I love him.

I don't want to hear nothing you got to say about that racist stuff. Don't be looking at me on the news, hate knowing me because I'm standing up for somebody that deserves to be stand up for. Get off the man's back. Let him do his job. He doing the right thing. Back up off of me.

Grandma said it.

Listen, cat turd, you got to get a hashtag going for this. I don't know, you're better at this than I am.

Remember we did the tampon Tim thing? You got this like, Man, I don't know, go grandma. That's probably one of the best sounders I've seen in a long time. I was watching that live. You missed it. Did you see it in the chat?

Hell, yeah. Who said that? Hell, yeah, grandma. Hold on, chat. Who said that? Kristenristen21. Amen, Grandma.

Sometimes you need just normal people outside of this DC swamp to get up there, take the mic, and just let you know how they really feel.

God bless you, Grandma. That was awesome. Fantastic. One of the best things I've seen for a long time.

Timeline Cleanze. Everybody back. Get the media, Ted Lou, pre-ons out of the brain. Clean it out. Clean all the plaques out.

You will. You'll get a Democrat-induced dementia watching their stupidity all the time. We need these once in a while. Jasmine likes them, too, right? She likes the Timeline Cleanze. The guy fishing last week was priceless with this young boy. Nothing like being a dad. I don't have any boys. I got to tell you, I wish I had... I've got an older daughter and a younger daughter, and they're pretty far apart. I probably should have had one in between and taken a shot. I'm one of three boys. I have a stepsister, but I never had a boy. So that video was really heartwarming to me to watch. I love my girls, too. Obviously, but it's unlike being a dad to daughters. But having a son when you're a guy, I wish you would have had one in between. Plus, we would have given a brother. The brother is the You got the protector. Although the PC crowd doesn't want to hear that. Folks, government scares me and should scare you, too. I think that's been the theme of the show so far. Government wouldn't scare me as much, tying it all together, if we actually had an honest fourth of state media that would call the government out on a bipartisan basis when the government did things that encroached on your freedom and liberty.

Men are not angels. The media and the freedom of the press was literally written into our Bill of Rights in order to provide an obstacle against government intrusion into your freedom in violation of the Constitution so they could report on it, expose it, and action could be taken via elections. Government scares me. Should scare the hell out of you, too. This is why this argument right now about the Save Act and the filibuster, because they're technically separate arguments, but they're not. The Save Act is a national piece of legislation which would institute basically voter ID and voter integrity, would save us from a lot, not all, but a lot of the cheating that happens in elections. Why is that integrated fully with the filibuster now? Because the only way to get this passed is to scrap the filibuster.

For those tuning in the first time, you're not too familiar with politics.

We have the House of Representatives and the Senate in the legislative branch, the House of Representatives, the Republicans have the majority. You pass a bill by majority, it goes over to the Senate. You say, Well, they just pass a bill by majority over there. No, it has to overcome a 60 vote hurdle in a 100 member Senate because of this thing called the filibuster.

Folks, the Senate was always meant to be a cooling chamber.

The problem, do you have the supercut of them saying they're going to bust up the filibuster, Guy? All right, let's go a little bit out of order. Here's the problem. We need to pass this Save Act now. We're not going to do it without making changes to the filibuster, whether you make them actually talk through the filibuster or you bust it altogether. We have got to do it.

Now, I get it. A lot of people have made the argument that, Dan, you're actually making a case against that because you're saying the Democrats are such tyrants. If you give them a majority and not the super-majority filibuster, the Democrats are going to pass all kinds of stuff. Correct. The problem is they're going to bust the filibuster anyway and pass all kinds of stuff. So at least we can get stuff past, too. Folks, we're not dealing with the perfect answer. We're dealing with the imperfect... Remember level 10 problems I discussed it yesterday? Level 10 problems. There's a shit answer and a shittier answer. Here's the shit answer.

The shit answer is busting the filibuster.

The shittier answer is not busting the filibuster and let the Democrats do it first. They've already said they're going to do it. I don't need to speculate. This is something you're not going to hear in a lot of mainstream media outlets now.

Check this out.

It's time we get Getting rid of the filibuster.

I favor getting rid of the filibuster.

I've been very clear.

I think we should eliminate the filibuster.

Abolish the filibuster. We must abolish the filibuster. They're going to do it. Listen to me in the chat. Listen, listen, listen, please. Antenna up. Pay attention. They are going to anihilate the filibuster. The second they take power in the Senate, which could happen in the midterms, They are going to do it. How do I know that? They've said it? The media is not going to tell anybody this right now. You've got to weigh into your decision the cost of inaction right now on the Save Act and not busting the filibuster. You can't just give the shitty answer. Hey, man, the Senate has been a cooling chamber to stop a lot of Democrat nonsense over the years.

We should keep the filibuster. Correct.

But what's the cost of inaction? You're leaving out the other side of the coin. Oh, the Democrats are going to bust it anyway and do it in the next term? If they win?

Here's Mike Lee. Here's a tweet. Senator Mike Lee has been great on this.

I think he's the only one who sees through all this crap right now.

He's been on the show many times. Jim, I tried to get him. I know he wants to come on. I want to have him on as well.

Here he is in his tweet talking about the cost of inaction. He says, To the extent invoking the talking filibuster is even a risk, and I'm not at all sure it is, it must be weighed against the risk of not doing it to pass the Save America Act. On that front, this is a no-brainer.

It's not even a close call. @basedmikelee, a great follow, by the way.

Yes, you can't just say, Oh, the Democrats, if we bust a filibuster, we'll do crazy stuff. Of course, they're going to do crazy stuff, but they're going to do the crazy stuff anyway. If we don't act now, in other words, in action now and do nothing and don't pass not crazy stuff, sane stuff like the Save Act, then we get our balls kicked in for nothing. You may never get this opportunity again. On the other side of the coin is Hugh Hewitt, who wrote this piece at Fox. And listen, I respect all these viewpoints.

Again, I had a bunch of folks on last week, Tommy Tuberville, Brandon Gill talking about this.

There's a number of different perspectives.

I think we should bust the filibuster altogether. Mike Lee thinks a talking filibuster. Brandon Gill, Tommy Tuberville is with me on it.

Dump the filibuster. But this Fox piece, Hugh Hewitt disagrees on the changes.

Fair enough. Again, I'm not attacking at all. He wrote this piece, and I encourage you to read it, and you can take all the inputs, take Hugh's input, Mike Lee's input, Tommy Tuberville's input, Brandon Gill, my input, if you'd like, and produce an your formed output.

Your output may be different than mine. Hugh Hewitt wrote this piece.

I encourage you to read. Just say no to the talking filibuster. It's a waste of time.

He notes what I said before, that the Senate is there to stop the majoritarian impulse, the two wolves and the sheep deciding what's for dinner. I agree with what Hugh Hewitt is saying.

I just disagree with the outcome on that because they're going to do it anyway.

You have to weigh in the cost of inaction. You have to I dressed that at some point.

That's where I disagree with respect.

Here's another problem. Relying on the Democrats, which is what a lot of these people are on the Republican side, let me be clear, who don't want to bust a filibuster to pass the Save Act, they're relying on the Democrats. They're like, No, the Democrats, they'll do the right thing. They didn't bust it last time. They didn't bust it because Sinema and Manchin stopped them, two Democrats senators, and then left. They're gone. There is nobody who's going to stop them this time.

Maybe, and I doubt it, Federman.

But you can't trust these people. They have no integrity or principles at all. You're going to trust people like Ted Lou's on the House side, but you get the point, a lot of his ink are in the Senate, You're going to trust people like him and Hillary Clinton Eastern. All they talk about is stolen elections, everything else. They'll dump this thing in a second. If they win the midterms in the Senate side, coming up this year, and then hold the Senate and say Vance or Rubio, whoever's elected President in 2028. It'll only be seconds before they dump the filibuster and accuse them of stealing the election. They say, We got to dump the filibuster and we got to take over national elections and do it their way, which will be the wrong Here's Hillary Clinton still obsessed with the stolen elections idea, although blaming you for saying elections get stolen.

Check this out.

I think it's also critical to understand that as I've been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.

They will never stop talking about these stolen elections despite accusing you of hypocrisy for talking about stolen elections. The difference is we have actual evidence of irregularities that just passed the judges probable cause muster in Fulton County, Georgia, with the FBI case we had John Solomon on talking about it the other day, and you haven't produced shit. You produced a bunch of Facebook ads. What, $100,000 in Facebook ads the Russians bought or something like that? Claiming that, Oh, this definitely stole. You guys are totally full of shit. The The difference is we have actual evidence. You have none of it. They are going to bust the filibuster anyway and jam this shit down your throat. I promise you. Listen to me. Book Mark this episode and pray I'm wrong. Pray I'm wrong. Pray I'm wrong. They will jam this thing down your throat if they take back the Senate. And what are you going to see? You are going to see a litany of crazy, of incestive humanity like you've never seen before. I'm talking Mamdaniism at the national level. Here's Premier Giapal, another lunatic on the left of the Ted Lou elk, talking about a trans bill of rights.

Again, this is just one of a litany of things you are going to see that is going to New York, the entire country. If they get in charge, they are going to nuke this thing. The only thing we can do is put in some guardrails now by nukeing ourselves. That's the only option. There's a shitty answer and a shittier one. All the good solutions are already gone.

Here's Jaia Powell on the Trans Bill of Rights. Check this out.

Trans people everywhere. I also want you to know this. Those people are threatened by your strength, by your joy in being fully who you are. Those who fight against trans people are just jealous of the freedom that they have taken to be to be fully who they are. And so those people just want to destroy that rather than imagine what it would be like to be fully who they are. Wise words from our young people. So today, the Trans Bill of Rights makes those freedoms we all deserve as clear as the paper they are written on. And we intend to continue this fight until we win this fight.

Well, is 2023 not? Is that in the chat? My eyeballs are terrible.

Says, Nuket now. Nuket now. They are going to nuke it. This is just one small sliver of what you're going to see. A trans bill of rights. Because did you hear it, guys, ladies in the chat? You're all jealous.

You're all jealous of in a trans community.

They're not free to be fully who they are. What freedoms don't they have? Freedom to assemble? Got it. Petition? Got it. You're doing it right now. Vote, practice their religion, speak, carry a firearms? What freedoms don't they have? This is the shit you are going to see. They're going to do it. If we get rid of nuke the filibuster now, we've also not only got the opportunity to pass the Save Act. Keep in mind, too, if we hold the Senate in the House in the midterms, which is possible. We have a really good Senate map. The House It's not great, given all the redistricting Virginia's efforts and everything going on and Indiana's failure to do anything on the Republican side, on the redistricting, gerrymandering front.

It's gerrymandered. That's it. Both parties do it. Just the Democrats seem to have an advantage because they're more aggressive.

We have another two years, if we keep the House and the Senate, to really fix the country, fix elections, fix our budget problem.

Folks, we are in a really catastrophic budget problem. We are in an actual It is only a matter of...

You know what they say about these debt crises and these national bankruptcy? It happens gradually, and then all of a sudden.

We are looking at a, maybe not de jure, but de facto national bankruptcy, if we keep spending money the way we're spending.

You may say, Well, President Trump can fix it. He can. He's got the Congressional Democrats and the Senate Democrats with the filibuster obstacle stopping him from cutting a single dime. He They had Elon in there. They found all of this stuff, Russ Votes doing what he can. But the Democrats do not care about bankruptcy. They actually want it. They love the idea of a bankruptcy. We have the opportunity, if we nuke the filibuster, to clean out this budget, finally, and get ourselves on a trajectory to fiscal sanity. You want to see how bad it is? How bad it is if these Democrats don't get their shit in order? And by the way, some week need Republicans, too, on this.

Here's Peter St. Ange, a program I really like. I watch a lot of his clips on X and elsewhere, talking about how bad the debt crisis is. Listen to every word of this. Check this out.

The national debt will hit $63 trillion in just nine years, including $16 trillion of debt interest. For a perspective, nine years ago is when Donald Trump first eased into the oval office, will we be selling the pets or the kids to keep Somali leering centers in Bugatti's? The report comes from the Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which is their in-house accountants, who projects $23 trillion of deficits, a cool $2. 5 trillion per year, which will take the debt to $63 trillion, which is 120% of GDP surpassing World War II. Note that's assuming no recession between now and 2035, which is a bold assumption, considering the Federal Reserve has delivered a recession every six years for going on 113 years now. The prediction market Calshe currently projects one in five odds of a recession this year, which is about half what it was under Biden, but still nine years is one heck of a stretch.

Penelope Pep Pitstop, put in a chat.

Penelope, if you're a woman, I guess. Penelope says, The country can't go bankrupt, but we can devalue the country.

You're correct.

That's why I said it would be a de facto, not a de jure, bankruptcy, because we can just keep printing money.

What's the problem? We can just keep printing money. The problem is if you print more money, you create a greater supply of money, which creates what? Massive inflation, which means prices go up, which means you can buy less shit. There is no way out of this at 60 plus trillion dollars of projected debt other than to stop spending money, and we can't do it because of the filibuster. If the Democrats get in office and they want to blow up the budget again, they're going to do it anyway with 51 votes or 60 votes because there's no appetite. Now that we've got the appetite, if we had just a majority on both sides, we can put the real squeeze and start cutting a lot of this shit and get on a fiscal track that's not freaking insane. Folks, there is no way out of this. We will be in Argentinian inflation, Venezuelan.

Look up the Argentina crisis from years ago.

The economy collapses when your dollar doesn't buy anything anymore. You got to bring wheelbarrels, a Weimar Republic style of money to buy a freaking loaf of bread. The The government creates an inflation crisis. The government only, you can't print your way out of this. We've got to get control of this. You nuked a filibuster, you got a shot.

Here's the great Milton Friedmann in a quick clip here, just explaining how inflation is solely a product of the government printing money.

They have a monopoly on it. That's it. Check this out.

Inflation is made in Washington because only Washington can create money.

And any other attribution to other groups of inflation is is wrong. Consumers don't produce it. Producers don't produce it. The trade unions don't produce it.

Foreign sheeks don't produce it.

Oil imports don't produce it. What produces it is too much government spending and too much government creation of money and nothing else. You cannot tax your way out of this problem. It is impossible. Pulling money out of the private economy, the free market economy that generates taxpayer dollars, is going to stop that dollar from multiplying in the free market economy. The government doesn't multiply anything. It just consumes and eats all day. It eats up wealth and destroys it. The government produces very little of value for you outside of law enforcement, the military, and basic infrastructure needs. The government, quite literally, pays people not to work in many cases and produce stuff.

Man, this stuff frustrates the shit out of me. We are going to go bankrupt.

Thankfully, you've got a president office focused on pro-growth policies, a reinvigoration of critical industry in the United States. I don't agree with him on everything, folks. This is not that type of show. And he's never...

Not that it would matter. I was in there in a law enforcement capacity.

But even when I had him on the show before, President Trump, before I went into the FBI. We don't agree on everything. We don't. It's okay. I love all this bullshit about, he's such a fascist. Agree or he's going to... He's not like that at all.

I've never been a huge tariff guy, but I get what he's doing in terms of using it as a negotiation tool. I mean, I agree with it.

It means, listen, a lot of the predictions about what was going to happen with the tariff were just wrong. The economy is going to collapse, the stock market is going to collapse. None of that happened. None of How did that actually happened.

That's just a fact, man.

You can disagree with it all you want. The reasons, we'll see. Produce inputs, you get a better output. However, there's no question this president is obsessed with growing this economy, and the only way out of this debt crisis is going to be to drastically cut the government stealing your money. Taxes have nothing to do with increasing taxes even more. Hauser's law, man, you're not going to get shit.

People are just going to start hiding their money. End of story.

We already pay enough taxes. Or you're going to have to produce more, grow the economy, and make the percentage taken, if it's a bigger pie, more money that will help pay off this debt crisis. Even USA Today, I don't know how they let this slip through the cracks, USA Today, opinion.

Usa Today, come on. You think they're going to give you the straight skinny? No, it's an opinion piece, but typically everything's anti-Trump all the time.

Real incomes are growing.

Americans are adding wealth. Inflation continues to moderate. Unemployment remains relatively low. Where's Trump's credit? When I said that to you yesterday, you guys probably did a double take. Wait, that's USA Today?

Yeah, it's up on Gino report.

That's USA Today. How that slipped through, I don't know. Folks, all of it is true. Getting back to the point, I didn't plan on doing a full economic segment. I actually want to tie this back to the filibuster and the Save Act. If we blow through and nuke the filibuster now, which the Democrats are going to do anyway for the 15th time, maybe more in this show, We have an opportunity for massive pro-growth tax sanity, investment, pro-investment strategies, massive cuts to government spending from stealing your money.

We have the opportunity, finally, to maybe grow our way out of this.

Now, I do want to give both sides of this. I showed you Hugh Hewitt's piece. I encourage you to look it up.

You are responsible consumers of media, unlike liberal lunatics who say stupid shit because they get dumb inputs from their moron class on the left wing media.

I'm going to give you both sides, and you can form your own opinion on the filibuster.

There is an argument to be had, and I saw John Thune brought it up yesterday.

You can go to Yesterday's show. It was a clip on Fox. John Thune, majority leader for the Republican side, said, Hey, if we allow this talking filibuster, meaning if If you want to stop a majority piece of legislation in the Senate from passing with 51 Senate votes, you have to go on the floor and talk and talk and talk to basically clog up the pipe. The longest whenever, I think, was 60 days.

You want to talk for 60 days, that's fine, but you're going to have to go to the floor. Right now, you just threaten a filibuster and everything stops. Well, you may say to yourself, Well, if we institute a talking filibuster, they could potentially speak for 100 days.

Yeah.

And in all that floor time is not dedicated to other things.

That's a real threat with the talking filibuster. I only bring that up because the great Mike Davis, a lawyer, he's just been amazing. I suggest you follow him on X. Mike Davis was on, I think it was James Rosen, and he was talking about how, listen, we got to get judges confirmed.

We got to get United States attorneys confirmed. Even in red states, this process is not moving fast enough. Folks, not an excuse. Listen to me. Not an excuse, an explanation. No excuses. Do the job. Don't do the job. The Department of Justice and the bench, there are a lot of open judicial spots that should be going to Trump appointed judges. A lot of them aren't getting through right now. The process is super slow. United States attorneys who prosecute cases based on the Constitution, a lot of these spots are open. This is a huge problem. The FBI, you can investigate all the cases you want. If there's no US attorney or assistant US attorney to get it in the pipeline and start the process, there's nowhere to go. You're running into a wall.

Not an excuse, an explanation. It's important. So you have accurate inputs. Here's Davis talking with James Rosen about exactly it's a serious problem, exactly this problem. Check this out.

According to data from the Article 3 Project, the conservative Legal Advocacy Group, there are 15 vacancies for federal district court judgeships in states where each party has one senator Senator representing the state. More surprising, there are nearly two dozen vacancies for district court judgeships in eight states where both senators are Republican. These include Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas. Article 3 founder and President Mike Davis formerly served as Chairman Grassley's Chief Counsel for Nominations and has played a central role in the confirmation of some 300 federal judges and three Supreme Court justices. In an interview with Newsmax, Davis took issue with the famous statement by Chief Justice John Roberts, rebutting a comment made by President Trump during his first term that we have no Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.

Despite what the Chief Justice has said, there is definitely a difference between a Republican judge who follows the law and a Democrat judge who sabotages the will of the American people and disregards the law. I have been turning up the heat, and it's working because I've heard from my friends inside the Trump administration that we've gotten these senators attention, and they're finally coming to the table.

Davis notes that 62 of 33 US attorney positions across the country also remain vacant.

Folks, it is a real threat.

I'm only here to give you proper input, so you, as responsible thinking, logical, reasonable, mature adults, can figure it on your own. You don't need me to tell you how to think. That's not my role here. It's not. It's never going to be. I am not here to tell you how to think. I'm here to give you inputs and information, some with some color commentary, some speculation. When I say so, some opinion, but a whole lot of facts. That is a fact. Those are open judge spots and open United States attorney spots. They're not moving fast enough in the legislative branch to get them through. You cannot prosecute a case. In the DEA, FBI, US Marshal Service, anywhere else without getting a United States attorney, a government lawyer, to write subpoenas, draw up search warrants, draw up informations, present to a grand jury for indictment, get a true bill. None of that happened. The FBI does not do that. The DEA doesn't do that. They are the Federal Bureau of Investigations, not prosecutions. If the legislative branch does not help the executive, the DOJ, with getting people in place, there is nothing that's going to happen because it can't, because there's nobody to do it.

I'm going to give you both sides.

You can figure it out. But one thing I'm not going to allow is, again, left-wing media bullshit. That's why the constant clawing and rageouts every day, they're obsessed with this show. We own these people's attention. They just can't look away.

They just can't.

Reminds me of that scene Bridesmaids.

Remember Bridesmaids?

After the, what is it, the Brazilian steakhouse scene when they're in the bridal dress shop. And is that Melissa McCarthy?

She's sitting on the sink. It's coming out like a fucking, look away. Look away.

My daughter saw that scene for the first time. We were down in Miami. It was on TV, and she couldn't stop laughing.

She's like, Isn't that the lady from what's that show?

Gilmore Girls?

They can't look away. They're so embarrassed by what we expose on this show every day that they have to faux counter attack with bullshit, but they're afraid because our microphone is bigger than theirs, then they can't argue it. It's almost 70,000 people still here. We've been on the air an hour and 15 minutes. That drives them freaking bananas. They do a livestream, 10 people show up.

But there is a balancing act here. I get this a lot from people. It's a fair question. Why didn't you respond to this and why didn't you respond to that?

Because one, I don't want to waste an hour and a half, sometimes two hours show, and we have a guest. I don't want to waste two hours on Annabella Riscoglioni every single.

No one really gives a shit.

I think it's important sometimes. To hit some things back, especially given the total rage out about my interview with Cash yesterday.

Dude, is she even legally eligible to work? I mean, the woman looks like she's seriously 13 years old. But I know where you're going with that. I know what the... I know, I got to get to it.

But one of the things you always have to be concerned about in this business is the Streisand effect.

I'm going to show you what I mean because it's very real. It just happened with the Senate race in Texas. Senate race in Texas, the Streisand effect. No, it happened, and it may wind up burning us a little bit.

I'm sorry, but I got to tell you the truth.

It involves Stephen Colbert, a US Senate candidate in Texas, running against Jasmine Crockett, the Streisand effect, and why sometimes responding everything may not be the best idea. I'll show you what I mean. I'm just giving you inputs. You form your own outputs. Quick break, and we'll get back to that. Folks, I covered in the beginning of the show the massive buildup around Iran of military forces. We don't know what's going to happen, but clearly, they're not there for tea and crumpets. They're there because something's likely going to happen in gunboat diplomacy. So me cover at the beginning of the show. There There's absolutely no reason for you not to be prepared. I get a kick out of it when people poke fun at people who prep and they're, Oh, the prepper. How is that an insult?

Folks, one of these days, you are going to see another emergency. It may not be a world war.

It could be a flood. It could be a hurricane.

I live in Florida.

A natural disaster.

Power grid could get attacked. Do you really want to be sitting there with no food, no medicine, no preparedness to no water filtration? Why would you want that?

I'm telling you, man, unless you're a friend or family, don't come knocking on my door.

I'm sorry, I warned you, I got to take care of my own friends and family.

You got to take care of yours, too. Listen, I'm not saying we're definitely going to war with Iran, but what I am saying is while we're distracted with this, serious stuff's happening around the world that could directly affect you and your family. Emergencies happen. You got to be prepared for real threats. That's why I'd like you to head over to preparewithdan. Com right now. Patriot Supply has been with us for a long time. They're the best prepared and just company in the market. Our friends at My Patriot Supply, My Patriot Supply, they set up a complete preparedness package just for you.

It has everything you need: backup power, survival food, water filtration, and more all in one bundle with over $800 in free gear.

Do it today. Don't wait.

Better to have this stuff and never need it. Then need it one day, and then you don't have it. Then you're in a world of hurt.

They're calling it the Mount Rushmore Preparedness, and it won't be around for long.

So go to preparewithdan.

Com today. Pick up your preparedness bundle today. They've done all the homework for you. That's preparewithdan. Com. Go today. Thank you, my Patriot Supply. Folks, don't let friends fall for media bullshit scams. So I think the media pulled a fast one on us here. I do. You have to worry always about the Streisand effect. Now, for those who are new to the show, what's the Streisand effect? The Barbra Streisand once asked a bunch of photographers not to take pictures of her house. Of course, what did they do? They showed up in droves, started taking pictures of our house.

So if we were to answer every single bullshit media narrative, there are thousands of them about the show that come out every single day. One, it would take up the whole show. But second, a lot of these people, folks, I'm just being candid, haven't earned your attention. I earn my audience. My audience is one of the biggest live streams in the world. The media hates it, but they haven't earned your attention. I'm going to put them on the show, even if it is to crush their bullshit, because you wind up bringing attention to them. So there's a balancing act.

How does that relate to this Talariko case? Jim Garretti at National Review summed it up.

So what happened was this Senate candidate, Talariko in the state of Texas, he's running against Jasmine Crockett.

He goes on Colbert and Colbert says that CBS and basically, and the Liberals implied that the Trump administration pressured them to pull the interview down for equal time, which has been around forever. Garret, he says, Again, the Trump administration didn't do anything.

Cbs's lawyers didn't didn't tell Colbert he couldn't air anything. They just reminded him of the Equal Time Rule. Colbert and Talariko were acting like they're in Orwells in 1984. So what happened? So Colbert pulls the interview down with Talariko. This bullshit story that the Trump administration did it floats around. Folks, the equal time rule has been around forever. Producer Jim, you've been in the radio business a lot longer than me. How long has it been around? For eons. This actually happened to me. I used to host Hosting a show, True Story, WMAL, great radio station in Washington, DC. I was hosting a show on the weekend.

I came in for the weekend one time and guest hosted, and I was a candidate, I think, for Congress at the time. I forget, it was a couple of races there, right?

I hosted a show. My opponent at the time complained under the same rule, equal time. So WMAL had him come in and he hosted a show. This is not new. It's been a government rule, whether you like it or not, forever. The Trump administration didn't order Colbert I can do anything. So it's a bullshit story.

But what happened? The Democrats want this guy, Talariko. Listen to me. If I lose you, tell me in the chat, but it's where it gets a little four-dimensional. I think they got us on this one. I'm just going to admit it. The Democrats in the state of Texas do not want Jasmine Crockett. I don't care what they... The establishment Democrats, the lunatics do. They don't. She's ignorant, stupid. She She says crazy things. She's an awful candidate. They don't want her. The Republicans want her because she's so bad that they think it'll be not a gimme, but an easier race. Not a gimme. Nothing's a gimme. We shouldn't take anything for granted. She could win like Anyone else. We should always treat it that way. The establishment Democrats definitely want Tala Rica.

They put them on Colbert. Colbert pulls the interview, puts it on YouTube.

The Streisand effect happens because we started talking about a YouTube interview gets like 5 million views, and this cat winds up raising Talarico something like two and a half million dollars off of it. Hey, this unquestionably worked for the Dems.

I'm only bringing it up because we got to learn from this stuff. The Streisand effect is real. Again, it's why I don't respond to every single thing.

Here, you doubt me? Here's a Fox News report yesterday about Talarico, this whole incident, and how he raised a shit ton of money after this interview got pulled down by the Trump administration. A total fairytale. Check this out. This TV drama is boosting Talariko's campaign. It reports raising more than $2 million dollars over the last 24 hours.

Timing matters as early voting is underway in Texas.

Folks in the chat, let me know. If you think I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I think they got us on this one.

I had avoided talking about it, and then now I've got...

Because it's a warning sign. Here's the lesson from this, because if there's not a takeaway, I'm just blowing carbon dioxide into this RE20 microphone. When When you have a microphone, an audience, a big audience, if you have no audience, you have no audience, it doesn't matter. If you have a microphone in an audience, you're a top streamer, you're a top podcaster, you have a top radio show, a cable news channel, be really cautious with it. I can't tell you enough, the greatest superpower in the world, more powerful than being at the FBI or anywhere else, is the ability to command attention in a microphone. Don't ever forget that. Be really cautious with how you use it, and don't let anyone who hasn't earned it hijack your time. Be really careful. To tie it back to the beginning of the show, the media eye coverage and the Daily Yeast, Anabela Riscoglioni. Why focus so much attention on little old Dan all the time? Why the BDS That's the Bungino derangement syndrome. I just explained it. Because despite all the claims, no one's watching, no one's going to show up, they have never defeated the show. The show has been on the air for 10 years.

It's been a top show. Those are just the facts for about a decade now.

It drives them freaking bananas because they know that we, thanks to you, the you, this is...

Yeah, we produce the content, but you listen.

This is thanks to you.

You guys have created a powerful vehicle I'm grateful for, and they know I don't let them hijack every moment. And it drives them freaking crazy. Our social media pages get an incredible amount of views. I want to show you how bad it is for the left wing media and how they're just green with envy because they don't have an audience themselves. They just don't. Here's a great account on X to follow @Roadmn. If you ever want to see TV ratings, who's talking shit and who isn't, you, a lot of people, I got great ratings, millions of people.

You're full of shit. But if you're not on Fox, chances are that's all bullshit.

Here's what I'm talking about.

This is the cable news ratings, hat tip at Road MN, road like street road MN.

I want you to look at this. What's interesting about I got this.

The 31th ranked, 31st ranked program, 31st ranked program is Hannity and has an R next to it.

In other words, a rerun. Look at the time, 2: 00 AM. Am.

This is Hannity's rerun at 2: 00 AM. Has close to a million viewers. Put up the tweet now by Rodamn.

Look at that. Oh, Greg Price. I'm sorry, but that's a Rodamn chart. At Greg Price. Absolutely hysterical that reruns of Hannity at 2: 00 AM are getting more viewers than every single show on CNN. If you have a microphone, be Be careful with it. Be careful with it. That, by the way, segueing intentionally, is what worries me about AOC and Mamdami. Folks, we got taken on the Talariko thing. It's the fact.

Don't get taken by AOC and Mamdami.

This narrative, it's a small circle of people, but it's very dangerous, that, Oh, this woman's an idiot.

She showed it. She is an idiot. Shows Crocket and everywhere else. The problem is, as I told you in the beginning of the show, the Democrats love idiots. Look at Ed O'Keefe. Has anyone ever called the President racist? Yeah, you. The Democrats love stupidity. You saying like, oh, we don't got to worry about these people. And it's a small time, you in the chat, but there is a small group of people. You've seen it. This is great. I'm telling you, it's not great. These people have a microphone. Aoc has a A massive social media presence. I think it's a lot bigger than ours. This is the fact. I'm not going to bullshit you. Can you guys... Josh, look that up. How many followers does she have on TikTok? She's got a ton. We have like 670,000 or something.

We got kicked off TikTok like 10 times. So we had to constantly rebuild the account. I'm actually impressed we're even there.

She's got millions of these people.

Millions.

She owns a huge microphone, and so does Mamdani. How many does she have? 4. 1 million?

It's a lot. That's a lot.

Do not ignore these people. Do not discount. Look at that. At AOC, congressman in New York, 14, 4. 1 million followers. Do not ignore these. This is how you get kicked in the balls like this Talariko thing. Here's JD Vance yesterday in AOC.

Yeah, he's correct.

She is an idiot. She showed that Munich.

She just doesn't know anything, folks.

She was asked basic questions on Taiwan, geopolitics, international affairs, and completely shit the bed in an embarrassing, humiliating manner.

Folks, listen to me.

People get caught all the time, okay? Remember when George W.

Bush was asked who the head of state was and he flubbed it?

This happens all the time. This happens all the time. There are forgivable mistakes in this space. You ask someone a question about a conflict in northeast Rwanda, and they don't have a perfect answer.

Okay, fine, whatever. It's like not everybody knows everything all the time.

She was asked a basic question about a top two or three geopolitical problem, the straight Taiwan in China, and she didn't have it. It is inexcusable to not have an answer. She is not smart, but the Democrats like stupid as long as you have a microphone.

Here's Vice President Vance, correct in the record on AOC, and he's right. Check this out.

I think it's a person who doesn't know what she actually thinks. I've seen this way too much in Washington with politicians where they are given lines, and when you ask them to go outside, the lines they were given, they completely fall apart because look, does anybody really believe that AOC has very thoughtful ideas about the global world order or about what the United States should do with our policy in Asia or our policy in Europe? No, this is a person who is mouthing slogans that somebody else gave her. I guess no one gave her one for that one. I guess not. It shows how thin the Democrats' policy actually is on all these very, very important questions. Look, that was embarrassing. If I had given that answer, I would say, You know what? Maybe I'd go read a book about China and Taiwan before I go out on the world stage again. I hope that Congresswoman Cortés has the same humility. I'm skeptical.

Have you ever seen Vice President Vance or Secretary of State Rubio or Scott Besson not have an answer to a basic question like that? Throw anything at Vice President Vance, anything.

Ask him a question about the Houston Astros. I promise you he's thought of something about it. They asked her a It's a question on Taiwan, and the Democrats still love her because she's stupid. She has the feels or whatever. You know what's Josh? The feels? You know what I'm talking about? Democrats love the feels. She gives me good vibes. So does Mamdami. She's an idiot. So is Crockett, Mamdami, Bernie Sanders. They're all friends. Listen to me, though, it doesn't matter. They have microphones. That is all that matters to them, the Democrats.

All right, I have to throw this segment in there because this thing went nuclear. We're closing in on the end of the show. But I don't know what to call this video segment. But when I see this stuff, You guys ever see that movie We weapons? Paul, I know you're watching right now. I saw this with my wife in DC. It was the only time I was ever in, by the way, a political playbook has a spotted section, like we spotted someone around town. My wife and I went to the movies at Georgetown, the AMC. It was the only close movie theater to where I lived over in City Center in DC when I was serving up at the Bureau. So Paul and I, once in a while, go out to the movies, and she'd come up and visit. And long and short of it is, we come out of the movies, and the next day, I pop political play, I'm like, Spot it. Dan Bargino coming out of the movie theater with his wife. And I was like, Well, that's weird. You don't realize all these people are looking at you.

But I said, You ever see this movie, We weapons?

It's like a freaky deaky-doo movie.

I walked out of that movie. If you've seen it, you know what I mean?

I'm not going to blow it up with spoilers or anything like that.

But you walked out of that movie if you've seen it, and pardon the language, folks, you're like, What the I had my security detail guys with me.

Paul and I both looked at the detail leader, I'm going to say his name, big guy, and we were like, Dude, and he looked at me, he was like, Dude. I was like, Dude? He was like, Dude, what the just happened? If you haven't seen this movie, it's insane. It's probably the craziest thing I've ever seen. Where am I going with this? I see this video yesterday, and if you go to see weapons, there's a scene very similar to this. It doesn't give away any spoiler.

But this is real.

This is not a movie. Turns out the police get a call to this sorority house, Alpha Delta Phi. I guess it's body cam footage, some fire alarm. They go downstairs to the basement. If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, we love having you on audio, but our video is pretty exclusive here to Rumbble, you got to just fast forward to the end of the... You got to watch his video. This is so crazy. This is real. This is not weapons. This is a movie. Check this out. Anyone want to be forced to tell me on what's going on?

Hey, this stops here, guys. This is a police apartment. This stops here. Who's in charge?

They're upstairs.

How about we start cleaning this up? Everyone take their blindfold off. Shit. I've already given multiple commands to clear the room and get out of here, but no one's moving.

Apparently, they're taking this pretty serious. I guess.

You in charge? You said- Still haven't found out who's in charge? No one asked for a house to add.

Where's he at? Summit.

Working at Summit.

Summit. That's cool. I don't know. I don't know. Rarely do I put a clip in the show. I just don't know. I was not in a fraternity. Maybe I should have been. I don't know what's going on. If you were in a fraternity, maybe you have some color in the chat. You can provide some commentary. All I can tell you is if you've seen the movie We weapons, that'll make sense. You, too, will walk out of your, whatever, living room, watching it, or if you'd seen a movie, and you will say the same thing I did.

What?

What just happened? Man, that was a pack show. Folks, I've got a pretty good feeling this is going to be a busy couple of news weeks coming up. There is a lot happening.
