Transcript of Something Serious Happened Last Night (Ep. 2476)

All America, all the time.

Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. Yeah, buckle up, kids. This one's gonna hurt. This one's gonna be a big kick in the— this one's gonna sting.

It was very emotional before the show, so my eyes look like this. I'm not tired. I slept like 10 hours last night after that Hannity hit.

No, I did.

Well, not 10, close to 7 or 8, but it was good. It's a good 7 or 8.

You know why? Because I feel like the weight of the world is off my back now.

I just do.

I, I just do.

I, I really have gotten to the point now, being back on the air for a good amount of time, and now having seen the inside, the outside, the inside, the outside, the inside, the outside again, I'm at the point now where I'm totally free.

Totally free. Because you know what sets you free? Oh, it's a cliché. What are we doing, writing Robert Frost poetry? Poetry here?

No, we're not. The truth will always set you Every time. Dan, that's a cliché.

You're correct, because it's true.

Pun intended.

Now you're seeing it.

Now you're seeing the grift totally, completely exposed.

Bare ass out there and everything, running down the beach, bare ass, no bathing suit. And everybody's like, what? Look at what is it?

Now you see it.

Joe Kent's a liar.

As I said yesterday and the day before, Joe was a friend. Joe disgraced himself last night. Joe's history of service to the country, beyond reproach, period. As full a stop as you're ever going to get. Sacrifices made by him, his family, his wife. I can't relate. Never made that kind of sacrifice. I haven't. That does not change anything about what happened last night over there. Joe Kemp is a liar. And folks, believe me when I tell you, I, I— of all the things you can call someone, and you know the Queens in me comes out a lot, calling someone a liar is a big deal, and I know that. And I say I feel so free now, and I do, because I've reached this point where after 2 months back and understanding how we have this loyal group of people that are interested in the truth, that have been here for me and the show and everything, and I hope I've been here for you. I've taken a lot of chances on the truth because it was the right thing to do at great personal cost to me. But I know it's the right thing to do, and I know there's a second creation out there someday where I'm going to have to answer to a higher power who absolutely knows what the truth is.

If there's a God, he stands for truth. Everybody wants to drag their faith into it, but then when you actually bring faith into it, that if there is a God, he most certainly stands for truth, the people on the other side of the truth all of a sudden are repulsed. Folks, I have a lot to talk about today with you, and I don't know how long this show is going to go today. I don't. It could go an hour, it could go an hour and a half, it could go 2 hours. I don't know. I just said to Jasmine, get ready.

We're going to cover 2 things right out of the chute today.

Take notes on today's show. No, I'm serious. We're going to cover the gatekeeper narrative and how you know who is on the side of truth and how you know who is not. When you see the gatekeeper narrative to Trump surface, you know they're full of shit.

Second, we're going to cover the hidden knowledge scam, that you're out there with some hidden set of knowledge that magically everyone around Donald Trump, including Donald Trump himself, they don't have.

It's insane, but you have it.

And then when you ask them about it, they say, ah, I'm just asking, I'm just asking questions. Well, do you actually know something? Can you say it? No, but I have it. Well, say it! No, no, no, but I have it. Oh, no one else has it but you? No, no, but I have it. Again, but will you say it? No, I won't say it, but I have it. That's the mark of a moron.

The hidden knowledge scam.

Overloading you with information.

Underwhelming you with any evidence at all. At all. That is the mark of the beast— confusion and chaos. The mark of the enlightened is truth within the chaos. If there was a gloves-coming-off moment Today's it. And this would be a good time, as I said again, for all the chaos merchants to find their way somewhere else. I don't know how many times I can tell you this is a business where, of course, there's always a motive to create revenue in a business here. It's a business.

I'm telling you the opposite of that. I'm telling you I don't care about that.

I don't want or need anybody involved with me or this movement we have for truth hear it all. That's the opposite of the goal of a revenue-generating model. You're supposed to bring in more customers, not less. I don't want those customers at all. Get ready, get the pen and get the paper. I, unlike others claiming hidden knowledge, I'm going to show you actual knowledge. And now you can decide what you want— chaos or truth. Your call. And yes, this is a fight that's going to happen. And yes, this is a fight that has to happen. And yes, we must walk and juggle at the same time. I'm sorry we have to do that. I've been through the Tea Party revolution as we've had to clean up the mess before. One time against the establishment, now against a bunch of usurpers inside the tent trying to destroy our movement. Every movement goes through this at some point. There's no ducking, there's no running, there's no tucking tail.

You don't want to fight?

This ain't the show for you, folks. We prepare financially, we protect our homes, we think about security. So why wouldn't you prepare your medicine cabinet the same way? It's just common sense. Being prepared means having access to what your family might need before you're scrambling in an emergency. Listen, I live in a hurricane zone. Stores get shut down. They shut down for sometimes 2 or 3 days. If you're sick, you get sick, your child gets an infection, you don't have the available antibiotics and other things, and you're knocking on a pharmacy window that's closed, you're gonna be in real trouble. I use, recommend as well, All Family Pharmacy. I've used them quite a bit actually. I have a kit in my car as well. They let you order ahead and stock your medicine cabinet for 3 to 6 months, so you're not running back every 30 days. We're talking about essentials like NAD+, antibiotics, ivermectin, mebendazole, blood pressure medications, and over 300 other prescription medications. They are a licensed U.S. pharmacy focused on access and transparency.

Here's what you do.

It's really simple. Complete the form online. A licensed doctor will review it and provide the prescription, and your medication will ship straight to your door. Stock up and get what you need today.

Consult a licensed healthcare professional before taking any prescription medication. I don't know how long this is gonna go. I'm just telling you now. But buckle up, okay? Joe's a liar, and I'm going to prove it to you. And believe me, it pains me to say that. I've had many, many dealings with Joe over the years, and I'm frankly stunned by what happened. Stunned. Stunned. Be like your friend next to you in the middle of watching a movie telling you they're like you know, a spy for, uh, Accra, Ghana or something, you'd be like, wait, what? We were just playing softball last night.

I, I don't, I don't know.

It's how shocked I am. Like, I don't know how to respond to this sometimes, but the truth matters. I'm not going to be a chaos merchant here. So let's start on the two things I told you about, because I want to help you here. I really just do, folks. I'm telling you, man, I got no dog in this fight other than the truth. If someone's telling you otherwise, they are bullshitting you because they're trying to dismantle They're trying to dismantle what we all built together because they want to destroy the current MAGA movement and rebuild it in their own image.

First, let me play this clip.

I don't like playing clips of myself because I can just say things again, but there's no sense saying it again. I said it last night. This is brief, but I was on Hannity's show last night. I talked about something I've addressed with you often, and it plays into point 1. Remember, point 1 is going to be the gatekeeper narrative. Point 2 is going to be the hidden knowledge scam.

Okay, so we're going to focus on this gatekeeper narrative you're seeing amongst people who I'm telling you are chaos agents trying to destroy our movement. They are not here to help.

I'm going to tell you why too, and I'm going to show you their exact tactics. I haven't done this yet. I've been hesitant, but now with Joe Kent, you're seeing exactly how it works. Okay, this is part of the gatekeeper narrative. I've been telling you over the past few days about the Donald Trump has no agency theory, like Donald Trump is, is completely not in control.

He's got a bunch of like horrible people around him in his cabinet. And this, this great leader Donald Trump, which is true, he is a great leader, but is being misled by all these evil people around him, the gatekeepers. I hit on this last night and the whole angle of how they do it by— now if you want to destroy the MAGA movement, why not just attack Donald Trump, right? There's a reason.

Check out me on Hannity last night where I hit this, and I'll tie it to the gatekeeper narrative. Check this out.

Sean, this is, this cowardly by these people who you mentioned who were doing this, because what they do is they call out Donald Trump's entire cabinet and circle of friends and advisors, but they never call out Trump because they know they'll get crushed like a bug. They know it. And then the grift dries up, then the money dries up. So what they do is, because they have no balls— you say it again, no balls, grow a pair— they don't want to take him on directly because he will crush them. So they go about attacking everyone else. They do this all the time. And this, I call this the Donald Trump Donald Trump has no agency theory, like Donald Trump doesn't have the ability to think for himself. You've known him longer than I have. I had the pleasure of working for him. You don't know jack squat about this guy if you think he's getting dog walked around by anyone. He's the one walking the damn dog. I promise. That's why I'm not trying to say that again, because I said it last night.

We're gonna dump the Donald Trump has no agency theory, and we're going to move into—

because it's the same thing, but now I want you to see it because you're going to see this exact word used. You're going to see it used by this entire network of doomers out there. They call it the gatekeeper narrative, this idea that Donald Trump is just not that smart and he's sitting up there on this perch in the White House and is being misled by a bunch of people. Now, the irony of this is that these These same people, the overwhelming majority of them, upwards of 99% of them plus, have never worked for Donald Trump or had a cup of coffee in the White House. So they don't even know him. Now, why are they doing this?

The gatekeepers, the gatekeepers are keeping information from Donald Trump, his cabinet, his advisors, the Jews, the Israelis.

He's so dumb, he's being dog walked around. They don't say that, by the way, because of what I just said. They wouldn't dare, dare.

Many of some of them are just stupid and say that.

Most of them, the ones that are trying to be tactical, not just the outright morons, they dance around it because they know if they tweet to Donald Trump or put out a post or do a podcast or a radio show and they say Donald Trump Donald Trump is the dumbest president ever. He's being dog-walked around by people. That the actual Donald Trump, who is a ferociously strong leader with very, very, very good political instincts, will destroy them like he's destroyed every single other person who's tried to do this to him. So they can't do that. So they want to hijack the MAGA movement because they've got plans for 2028.

What do you mean, Dan?

They're all going to run for president. All these little Doomers? No. But they have people they want to run for president who have likely promised them consulting gigs, polling gigs, advisor gigs, or they just want to be adjacent to power. They know Donald Trump is term-limited. Please listen to me. I'm telling you this is happening. They know Donald Trump will not be running again. They think that whoever Donald Trump is going to endorse as the next one, that that's not their— they can make no money off this person. I don't care who they— who it turns out, Rubio, Vance, whatever, it doesn't matter. They want their person. Their person is not one of them. Listen to me, there's no money in those people. So they have to make it appear that Donald Trump is feckless without saying Donald Trump is feckless. So when Donald Trump goes and forces this next person in 2028 that's not their guy, they can say, hey, I was calling this out the whole time. You see, guy's got bad judgment. Please bookmark this show. Please. So they have to attack him and make him look like he has bad judgment without attacking him.

So what do they do? Kash Patel sucks. John Ratcliffe sucks. Hegseth sucks. Rubio sucks. You don't think this is out there? Just put the word gatekeeper in X and you'll see them flag it. Flags all over the place. Just put the word gatekeeper and Trump in X. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about. This theory that Donald Trump can't control the White House. All of these people. Yes. All of these people who absolutely love Donald Trump, who've been in this movement forever. Yes, you're correct. We're all keeping information from him. Country goes left. Me, Cash, Blanche, who was his lawyer, his lawyer with all that, all those bullshit trials. Guy probably could have taken a chance losing his legal license. Ratcliffe, Pete Rubio. Yeah, yeah, everybody.

That's right, folks.

That's a, it's a cabal of all of us who were, who couldn't have been more pro-conservatism. Thank you, Brendan Dilley.

Bingo. That's a mother who gets it right there.

Thank you, Dilly of the Dilly Show, who's been talking about this forever. It's bullshit. So they go after— why do you all of a sudden— these people who used to ask me to speak at conferences, it's not about— listen, it's not about— it's not boohoo. I signed up for this, and I love— I love being in the chaos. I adore it. I was born for this shit. People used to ask me to speak at their conferences, their libertarian conferences. You doubt me? Go look, I was at some of them. The second I got in there, I was in there 5 minutes, oh my gosh, I can't believe it, nothing's happening.

Really?

That's kind of strange. 5 minutes ago you wanted me to endorse your book. So weird. I have the emails. I choose not to put them out there because I don't want to do Candace Owens. People communicate with me. I'm trying to do my best to not put stuff out there. Sometimes unfortunately it's necessary. You don't think I've got receipts too?

They want to take over MAGA.

They have to diminish Donald Trump, but they can't take him off there indirectly. So they take out and attack every single person around him and they say, these people are awful. We're not really saying anything about Donald Trump, but he's just—

he's just dumb up there.

You don't know what he's doing.

It's just the gatekeepers.

And they don't even say that. It's like, oh, he's being misled. Put it in X and look for yourself. Second, now we're going to go through this Joe Kent video with Tucker yesterday. It's about 3 minutes, but we're going to stop it quite a bit because I'm going to show you with receipts coming up at the end, and I'm going to tell you how he is a liar. And you're going to see, bare ass and all, gatekeeper theory here. Gatekeeper theory, number one. And number two, the hidden knowledge scam, which I just described in the beginning of the show. I've got this hidden knowledge, yet I was in a position of power, and all of a sudden, like, I don't have the answers, but I'm just asking questions. But you're asking questions you have no way— if you know something, say it, mother. Just say it. I said everything to you on camera. Some of you didn't like it. We got elected to go and open the books. We opened the books and I told you what was there. Some of it sucked. Some of it wasn't the answer you wanted, but motherfucker, I told you the truth.

I told you the truth. These people are full of shit because there's cliques in it, and the Jews, and Pete did it, or Todd did, or Cash did it, or Bongino did it. I told you the truth at great cost to myself. And whether you want to hear it or not is irrelevant to me, because I'm not going up there at the pearly gates with my Lord and Savior in front of me, having to acknowledge him that I lied to people because I wanted to be popular on X. Using tragedy, by the way, to leverage anger.

Disgusting. And that's what these group of doomers are doing right now. They're using Charlie's brutal assassination and the assassination attempt on President Trump and Butler. They are using these two things to leverage your anger. And there are a lot of people falling for it. And if you're part of that crowd, just get out. Just go. It's not for you, man. You want to be lied to, and I'm not going to lie to you. You relish the fact that people lie to you. You support the people who lie to you.

I don't know why. I'm not going to pretend I'm not Sigmund Freud here, man. And I don't know why you want that, but I ain't your guy.

All I care about is the truth. What happened yesterday on this— on Tucker's show with Joe Kent was just disgusting. He is a liar. And it pains me to tell you that this video is about 3 minutes long. It's a snippet, but it's interesting how many lies and how the hidden— you'll see the hidden knowledge scam here, the gatekeeper scam. Oh, there's people hiding stuff in the government.

You, you were part of it.

You, you're part of the, you're part of the conspiracy.

Why not just out it?

You know something interesting how he knows him, he doesn't say it. We're going to stop this throughout. All right, start the video, and we're getting probably about 10 seconds in before I have to stop it. Check this out.

What kind of pressure does it require to get a president who campaigned against exactly this thing for 10 years to do exactly this thing? What does it take to do that?

I wish I knew definitively. I think there's two potentials or two schools of thought. I mean, one is the media echo chamber, the donors, the way the Israelis come in and kind of launder the information like I described previously. And then—

Stop. Okay, so we'll get back to it.

You got it held right there.

Okay, good.

Here we go already. You see the gatekeeper theory that they're— and hidden knowledge all in the first— what is that, 20 seconds?

What are we at?

Is it the 22nd mark? In 20 seconds you have it ready. This is the mark for suckers. You fall for the hidden knowledge scam and the gatekeeper theory that you voted for Donald Trump, but he's not smart enough to know what's going on. Donald Trump does not know what's going on. Quote, the Israelis have laundered intelligence. I saw the intelligence. So did he. He's lying. That is a lie. That is a lie. We have our own very capable NSA, DIA, CIA, and a number of other members of the USIC that are perfectly capable of verifying and developing their own information. He's seen it. He's seen it. He's making— this is the Jews did it argument, that the Jews are the gatekeeper or the Israelis are gatekeeping information from Trump. Yeah, okay, Donald Trump, he's a sucker for that. I saw it. Don't tell me what— I don't give a shit that you have a podcast. I have a podcast. Have you ever worked for the government, actually read this intelligence to any of the other podcast bros or ma'ams out there? Have you ever seen it? No, period. You have not. Just answer the fucking question.

You haven't seen any of it. So you have no idea what you're talking about. You're just taking at face value what this guy's saying, that Donald Trump is stupid. He's being dog walked around by Israeli intelligence agents and we do no verification of our own. Yeah, that's right, folks. The NSA and its huge budget and the CIA and the FBI CTD, Counterterror Division, and our Counterespionage Division, Counterintel, we're just— everyone's just sitting around jerking off all day. You believe that shit? Yeah, me and Cass just sat there for a year. Ah, what do we do? Feet up on the desk. Got bored, guys.

Sure, Joe. Sure, the Israelis dog walked them.

Yeah, me too. I have no idea. I just read the intel with the Israelis.

And Trump's just too stupid to figure that out.

Guy's only been president for like 5 years now and he just doesn't know what's going on, fellas. Amazing. Abraham Accords, economic growth, the Trump tax cuts. The big beautiful bill.

Moving the embassy despite all of the experts saying otherwise.

Maduro in prison. Zero illegal migrants admitted to the country. Guy's just an idiot.

How does he figure this out? He's got a bunch of terrible advisors or gatekeepers. Gatekeepers.

Murder rate at an all-time low. Crime rate at an all-time low. I don't know. How'd that happen?

I don't know, Joe. How'd that happen? I don't remember you contributing to any of that.

All I remember you doing is asking about conspiracy theories all the time.

Play some more.

Options much darker. I mean, we still don't know what happened in Butler. Um, we don't know what happened with, with Charlie Kirk. Uh, and I'm by no means—

Stop, stop, stop. Okay, folks, this is where we have to part ways again. I don't know how many times I got to tell you all this. We have gone over Butler so many times. We did a 2-hour interview with Brooke Singman from Fox.

I'm going to— the receipts incoming, I promise you. Did Joe Kent miss the interview? We brought her down and sat her in our office with the case agent. For 2 hours and went through everything. Everything. You can actually see the article, Joe. We don't know anything about Butler. We went through everything with the case agent to the point where she had no more. She had a list of questions. We were done. We briefed the president multiple times on Butler, and the president said, and I quote, He's completely satisfied with it. Again, gatekeeper theory. So the president's satisfied with Butler. The guy who was more than interested in Butler than anyone is me, being a Secret Service agent too before. And yes, everybody's lying to the president, who's completely satisfied, and he's just too dumb to notice. But Joe knows. Joe knows about Butler. I want you to know something. I offered Joe face to face, and you know it. Joe, don't bullshit people. I offered him a briefing on Butler. Did he show up to FBI headquarters to take it? No way he did not. That's a fact, bro. You are a liar and a bullshitter, and you know it.

I offered you that briefing. And you didn't take it. You have hidden knowledge about something that happened at Butler. He's got hidden knowledge, folks. Amazing. The president, he was shot in the head in Butler. He was shot in the head. No one spoke out more about the Secret Service failures than me. My first week on the job, I had the case agent in my office with an entire team, including a former Secret Service agent, briefing me about Butler. You know something? Spit it out. Grow a pair. Spit it out. You got some hidden knowledge? Let's hear it. I told you what I got. I'll show you the Fox News article. I'll show you exactly what I have. All you got is, I've got a black box. Well, what's in it? Something. Well, what's in it? Something. There's the piece, November 21st. This was last year. Brooke Singman. FBI concludes that Crooks acted alone after unprecedented global investigation. You want me to lie to you? You want— this is what you want me to do? Hey, man, here's what's in the file. Thomas Crooks had 50 other accomplices. Did he really? Can you show us that?

No, I can't. I'm just making it up to make Joe Ken happy. Folks, I'm tired of it, man. Are we going to live in a world of truth or a world of chaos? You know what? Go down those screenshots, then we'll go back to the video. I'm going to show you here. I'm really— I don't know what to tell you if, like, Joe didn't read this article. This is open source. This is a Fox News article. You know how many employees looked at this? 485 FBI employees were looked at this investigation, including me. 486. We don't know anything about Butler, Joe said. Really? The FBI conducted more than 1,000 interviews connected to the case. I looked at all this stuff. They reviewed 2,000 tips, executed 10 search warrants and 100 subpoenas. I analyzed 13 electronic devices. Keep this— I— wait, later in the video he says that we don't know anything about the electronic devices. That really— that's news to me. Not only electronic devices associated with him, but his family members too. I thought, I thought Joe said— maybe Joe would have known this if he would have read the article or shown up for the briefing that he turned down.

You see the grift though? Oh, we don't know nothing. I know something. Black box, I got it, watch my podcast. The FBI examined 35 accounts linked to Crooks. I thought we didn't analyze anything, I thought they told me that, I thought they said that, including social media, bank, and other online accounts. But we don't know nothing, we don't know nothing about nothing. Amazing, by the way, how keep this up, the same people out there, clan of people who are telling you out there that Iran's no threat can constantly tell you, or imply at least, that Iran was behind this kid, produce no evidence. They tell you they know something and then they go, but Iran's no threat. You just implied Iran tried to shoot Trump through this kid. Which story is it, motherfucker? Which story is it? Get your story straight. We don't have any evidence of that. Yes, Iran wants to kill Trump. Yes, this kid is a lunatic. It happens all the time. Sadly, John Hinckley, Arthur Bremer, people lose their minds and do stupid stuff. Here's another more from this article. You guys can read it yourself. The home was completely swept.

Every device was collected and accessed. There were reports out there say we didn't get into certain devices.

That's false.

That is just made up. Joe would have known that if he would have read the article or just showed up at our office. The FBI conducted a manual review of more than 500,000 individual electronic files. That's a fact. Engaged with nations around the world to ensure all the leads were covered, which we did. When there was a lead about an overseas connection, Two instances we became aware of foreign accounts, the FBI reached out to the foreign governments. We did.

It goes on.

Very quickly, the foreign governments provided the full contents of the accounts. We deployed an extraordinary effort that even people not in Crooks' age range were interviewed and done completely and thoroughly. There's no foreign connection in the case, the official stressed. There's no individual outside U.S. borders or inside U.S. borders that had any role— this is important— in directing him, inspiring firing him or assisting him in any way. That includes foreign governments. You want me to lie to you, man?

Is that what generates clicks and money? Is this what it's about now? You know how easy it is to do that? Uh, listen, I was in the FBI. I got a bunch of hidden knowledge.

This stuff, this stuff, we're not telling.

Hiding stuff.

Tune into my podcast at, uh, at 5.

Folks, this is bullshit. We don't need these people, man. You see what they're doing? They're gatekeepers. Bongino, Patel, Pledge, Hegseth, Rubio, Ratcliffe. They're keeping information from Donald Trump. He's not smart enough to figure this out. Yeah, Bongino, right? Went into government for the money.

You guys know I made a lot of money in there.

Big revenue generator for him. Me. And as you know, it's always great too for your, you know, your stress levels and your personal life enhancement.

Going to the guy, it's a great idea.

Yeah, I went in there to tell you the truth. And a lot of the gatekeeper narrative frauds didn't have the balls to take a job in the Trump administration or weren't offered one because nobody trusted them. And then they graciously offer jobs to others like Joe Kent who go out and come out and lie about it. I'm going to take a quick break here because honestly, I got to kind of calm down before I have a freaking heart attack too, because I'm so pissed off at what happened last night. This is a serious problem, and I'm getting tired of also the fence sitters with a fence post up their ass.

Oh, I don't want to call out this guy or that guy because I'm afraid he's going to mention me on the show. Really? But just put my name anywhere. I've been mentioned on shows for 10 years. You want to be in the public? Get used to it. As Brother Leo from Archbishop Malloy High School, God rest his soul, said to me a long time ago, real men walk alone. Okay? You want pats on the back? You want palm fronds and everyone? Oh, the Jews did it. Trump's dumb. All the gatekeepers. You go ahead and do that. Me? Zero interest. You got other people out there calling it out too who've been through these fights before. They don't fall for the current thing. The reason conservatism conserves things is because we believe in a longitudinal chronological timeline where good ideas should last over time. That's what we're conserving. We don't fall for every current thing. Thank God you got people like— I saw Dana Lash, I mean, just going for it. Good for you. She's been around forever. She's been through the Tea Party fights.

Levin, Hannity, boomers, boomers.

Oh yeah, you've really— you've been alive 10 minutes and you've never been through these fights. You don't think we've been through these fights before?

Like I described previously. And then the other option is much darker. I mean, we still don't know what happened in Butler. We don't know what happened with Charlie Kirk. And by no means am I saying like, you know, the Israelis did this or—

Stop. Here we go again, folks. One, this is particularly disgusting because there's an ongoing trial, and I'm not going to take part in this right now because it would be unethical. However, here we go again where I'm not saying anything.

Did you hear it at the end? Did you hear it? This is the hidden knowledge scam. This is the mark of a Times Square watch salesman. You ever go to Times Square back before Rudy Giuliani cleaned it up? Hey, I got a Rolex here. $25. $25 for a roller? Yeah. No, it's real. I, I got hidden knowledge here. I, I, I, I, I don't know. I'm not saying— I'm just saying— I'm not saying that there's any connect— Well, you would know. You don't think— This is disgusting. We live in a republic. Where every single person charged, from everything from murder to child pornography, everyone, the biggest scum of the earth, is entitled to the presumption of innocence until their guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of their peers. Thank God we have a republic that works like that. There is a trial going on, and you're claiming you've got some kind of hidden knowledge. Really interesting. You see the scam? I got hidden knowledge, but I'm not just gonna— I'm not gonna say it. You know something? I think you're some kind of like whistleblower now. You know, just have blowing the whistle on nothing.

I know something, but I'm not gonna say it. Really?

I know you're watching right now. And you know you're a liar and you know exactly what you're doing. Play some more.

Means am I saying like, you know, the Israelis did this or, or any of that? But I'm saying there's a lot of unanswered questions there and there is enough data to at least say that.

There's enough data.

I'm not saying anything because I don't know anything. I'm just lying to you.

However, there's enough data, but he doesn't tell you what the data is. This is amazing because then he goes on after telling you that there's all this data. You just heard it. It's not my words, bro. Don't kill the messenger. Don't kill the messenger for using his— he's the messenger, not me. He's got this data. He just said it. But now he's going to go on to tell you another lie, that he was kept from the data. You— do you have data or not? I thought you had data. Did he just say— Josh, did he just say it? There's all this data. This is weird, cuz now he goes on to tell you how he was kept from the data, which is also false.

Go ahead.

But there's a good chance that President Trump feels like he is under threat. We're not allowed to ask basically, was there any linkage between what took place with Asif Merchant, who was recruited by the Iranians to come to America to recruit proxies to kill President Trump. Trump. The FBI put a, put a confidential human source at him. All this is public now. This is all out there in the open. And he's arrested. And then 2 days later, a sniper takes a shot at President Trump.

Stop.

Here we go.

There we—

you see what he does here? This is a trick for— you ever see that Bane Batman movie? For the uninitiated, This is a trick people use on the uninitiated. They know people because they—

the human mind wants to— is desperate to create patterns. It's how you survive. The human mind doesn't think in segmented moments. It tries to create pattern.

Your mind will actually fill in blanks in your visual field when you're reading at times, because what you're seeing and stimulated with is not what's happening in your brain.

That's a fact. You— again, if you have any background in neuropsychology, you can look it up.

What you perceive as reality is not what's really going on with the light and auditory stimulation and all of that. Human beings create patterns out of information.

It's how you stay alive.

So what people do to try to sucker the uninitiated is they use correlation and they infer causation from it. Now again, Earlier in this episode, Joe's out there telling you how Iran's not a threat. Now he's implying— for you just heard it, guys, did we not hear it? That this Iranian plot to kill President Trump through Asif Merchant, who was just convicted, by the way, a Pakistani— that is a true story. We were deeply involved in that case, the FBI.

It's like, well, it was just a couple days before, brother. Now, if you're uninitiated into how this works, you're like, wow, this guy must know something.

These two things are connected.

This is incredible.

They have to be connected and somebody's hiding it. Do you hear what he said in the beginning? President Trump's scared.

His words, brother, not mine.

President Trump's scared. The gatekeepers are keeping stuff from him. He should be scared. The gatekeeper. I'm keeping stuff.

So just to be clear, President Trump is my personal friend, has been for a long time. He's Kash's friend, Ratcliffe's friend. Pam, Todd, Pete, everybody knows President Trump personally, and they all have access to this.

And we're all hiding from President Trump a plot for the Iranians to kill him through a kid in Butler. We're all hiding it from him because Wait, wait, I got it.

I didn't even—

what?

Come on, guys, you got to know who did it.

The Jews. It's got to be the Jews. It's the Jews. My $7,000. We all got it, I guess. That's— and suckers fall for this. Of course, there's no actual evidence any of that's true. The irony is, of all the foreign countries I met with, I didn't meet with anyone from Israel.

It doesn't matter if you're a sucker.

This is what he thinks. He's playing you. Joe is playing you for a sucker.

President Trump, man, could have been killed by the Iranians.

I thought the Iranians weren't a threat. No, no, no. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Well, what are you saying? He goes on later in the interview to say, by the way, there's a fatwa. An Iranian fatwa against developing nuclear weapons. Number one, that's totally fake. It's been debunked a thousand times. But even assume what he's telling you is true about a fatwa against nuclear development. Assume that it's not. Assume it is. Then he goes on 5 minutes later to tell you how the Iranians refused to dismantle their nuclear program. Joe, what fucking story is it, bro? I thought you just said there was a fatwa against it. Now you're telling us they're still developing it? I thought you're telling us the Iranians weren't a threat. Now you're insinuating the Iranians killed Trump. But I have secret knowledge. Something happened 2 days before. Okay, a lot of things happened 2 days before. There may have been a solar eclipse 2 days before. You see how superstitions develop? This is how before science, people fell for— there was a You know, the sun came out one morning and then there was no cloud cover, and an insect stung a guy.

Oh my gosh, the sun god doesn't like me!

That's the mark of the uninitiated into reason. You want to be part of reason and logic and the advancement of humankind? There's a side of truth and a side of chaos. Pick.

Nothing he's telling you here is true. I've seen all this intelligence, folks. Outside of this, if for a second without blaming the Jews, please point to me one reason that Ratcliffe, Pete, Rubio, uh, Waltz, me, Cash, Todd, Amo, Pam, that we'd all all people who couldn't have supported this guy enough, whether you love us or hate us, are all working together to coordinate a message. Hey, keep all this information from Donald Trump, by the way, as if it wouldn't leak out 3 years later when, God forbid, some Democrat gets elected. You don't think they would love that? Look at what all these guys did. That evil podcaster bunch, they hid all this information. Here it is. That information is never going to come out. You know why? Why? Because it's not there. It's not there. Mark this episode. You think there's some secret information the government Joe has about Butler and Charlie and we're all hiding it?

Because no, not like we all knew Charlie or anything.

He was only one of my best friends. You're right, I definitely don't want to get that done. This is possibly the dumbest 3 minutes I've ever seen in my life. Really.

And that's saying a lot from a guy I considered a friend. Impugning, by the way, my integrity.

I didn't walk out the door with some bullshit letter. I told the president I would do till January, and that's what I did. We flipped the calendar, and that's what I did. I only had a year. I had a business and a family to get back to, and he knew that. People just like to lie to you about it. There was some turmoil there. You'd see me write some stupid-ass letter. The Jews did it.

Go on.

We think Mershant and the CHS was talking about the human source that the FBI put at Mershant. They were talking about, hey, we could kill the president potentially with a sniper rifle But then they arrest him. 2 days later, Butler happens, and Crooks, according to the official narrative anyways, is an enigma. We don't know anything about him. We can't get into his devices. If we get into his device—

all right, I'm not going to go into this again, folks.

Joe Kent is a liar. He's doing this correlation thing where this thing happened and this thing happened, but did you notice he never links them at all? I'd say rewind it, but I'm really—

I'm, I'm not even like 1/1000 through the show.

He tells you this thing happened with Murchon, and then this thing happened, but did you notice he never once provides the link? The guy was the head of the NCTC. If there's a link, this is the greatest story of all time for all the wrong reasons. Go get a book deal for $10 million. There's a link there. You don't think President Trump could use that link right now? Like, the Iranians were involved with Thomas Crooks and we have evidence of it. You don't think that would be a feather in the cap? Or, hey, look at these Iran strikes, we're all hiding it from them. For what reason? For what? Can you please give me one logical reason we'd be doing that? He has it, but he doesn't tell you. He said nothing there. He said nothing other than this happened and this happened. Are those two thises connected? No, not at all. And then he says again, we know nothing about this guy. I just put up the Fox article, Joe. I offered you a briefing. You didn't take it. We did a 2-hour interview on this. We went over this. Thousands of devices, hundreds of thousands of digital files.

We— what else? I don't understand. If you have something, say it. I want to hear it. You know something about Butler? Tell the president. He doesn't know shit. Because it's not there. So what does he do? He plays the hidden knowledge game.

Listen, we just don't know. They kept it from me. There's like a box somewhere.

Where's the box? I don't know. You sure there's a box? Well, not really, but it sounds good. Sounds good in a podcast. Talking amongst each other in this podcast circle too. By the way, people who have no experience in this space have none of these briefings at all, talking to guys who had the briefing about how no one knows what went on in the briefings. Amazing. One guy wasn't in the briefing, the other guy was in a lot of these briefings, and they still can't figure out what happened in the briefings. This happened, this happened, they're connected. Are they? Oh, you have evidence they're connected? No, I, I don't have it. Well, I thought you said you had it.

Be the biggest bombshell of all time. Go ahead.

But then they arrest him 2 days later. Butler happens, and Crooks, according to the official narrative anyways, is an enigma. We don't know anything about him. We can't get into his devices. If we did get into his devices, maybe there's nothing there. No more questions are allowed to be asked about Thomas.

Stop. Just leave him up on the screen.

Really?

We can't get into his devices.

You understood we did get into his.

That's just a fact, guys. That's just a fact.

Joe doesn't know it because Joe either is lying to you, which he is, because he does know that Joe knows that. Or he—

and he's faking it because Joe was offered the briefing and said no.

And we've already gone over this. He's just lying to you because he—

I don't know what he wants to write about.

I don't know what he's doing. He wants to blame the Jews.

I have no idea. Go ahead.

Crux. The DHS IG is currently being blocked from investigating.

Stop. Stop, stop, that's fake. Joe is lying to you again. Joe is 100% lying to you.

The DHS IG investigation into the Secret Service security plan was not in any way blocked.

That is total bullshit. I've met with these guys. That is just a lie. Either Joe is lying to you or Joe doesn't know what he's talking about.

There is no option C.

IG is currently being blocked from investigating Butler as well. That's out in the media. That's all well known. Um, you're investigating—

that's all—

wait, stop.

That's all well known? That is not true. That is just fake news.

Whoever wrote that is lying to you, and he should know better. Go ahead.

Um, your investigative journalists found that Crooks did indeed have an online persona, quite an extensive one.

Stop.

I, I just— Joe just said 5 minutes ago we had no idea. We quote, we don't know anything about Crooks, and we weren't able to access his accounts. So how— wait, wait, you already know it was your investigative journal. We already had that stuff. No one is saying he wasn't communicating with people. People talk to other people. All we're saying is nobody directed him and told him to do it, was part of the plan. You see how they conflate two separate things? If I'm talking to Guy one day online about the show and I go and rob a bank, You see what that sucker does? The hidden knowledge sucker. He goes, oh my gosh, Bongino was talking to Guy, and then he went and robbed the bank. And then the uninitiated into reason go, oh my gosh, Guy must be involved. They are both facts. There's no connection. This is the greatest story ever. If there's a big conspiracy of people overseas, if you have it, Joe, say it. We'll cover it on the show. He's not saying it because it doesn't exist.

Go ahead.

Persona, quite an online footprint. He was talking to people. So it's like, why, why aren't we investigating this? You know, I mean, if an attempted murder of a presidential— attempted murder of a presidential candidate, and then there's another assassination attempt, there's been multiple public breaches of President Trump's security, uh, over the last year. Yeah, right. And then, you know, Charlie Kirk is killed publicly in a very horrific way. And we're not really even allowed to look into that at all.

Okay.

Okay. Listen, folks, this part I have to just leave here. This is some of the most disgusting, unethical, and immoral stuff I have ever seen. Leveraging the death of my good friend His brutal murder, his assassination that the whole world watched in all of its horrifying gore for your podcast appearance. You're disgusting. Thank you for your service to the country. You're also disgusting. This is filth. This is just filth. I wasn't allowed to ask questions, Joe Kent. I'm just going to leave that there, folks. And all you people defending him right now, I'll accept your apology later. You watch. You weren't allowed to ask questions? Sure about that? Sure you want that on the record, Joe? You weren't allowed to ask questions?

Really?

Go ahead.

Even allowed to look into that at all. And Charlie Kirk was one of President Trump's closest advisors And he also advocated heavily against a war with Iran. He was in the office.

Oh, really? He did?

That's fascinating, 'cause I've had conversations with Charlie too. I don't talk about them because the man's dead and I don't like to invoke his name for podcast clicks, okay? Only to remember him. And I'm not gonna do it now.

You sure that's how Charlie felt? Matter of fact, I've got a clip of Charlie we're gonna play in a minute. Interesting how you're the only one who seems to know that's a special— Again, here's the hidden knowledge.

I've had hidden knowledge about Charlie.

Really? Because Charlie wasn't so hidden about that knowledge. Charlie actually said the opposite. But no, no, he said this to me. Were there witnesses to that? It's just interesting how he knows this. Here it is.

The gatekeeper thing, too. Charlie was calling out any possible strike in Iran, and all the gatekeepers kept it from him.

None of— by the way, neither one of those things is actually true.

Are we done with this video yet?

No, but you want the Charlie one? Yeah, can you go to the Charlie?

Okay, here, wait.

Joe has hidden knowledge of a conversation nobody witnessed that Charlie told him, oh, let us go to war with Iran. Meanwhile, here's Charlie in his own words on Charlie.

And you might say, Charlie, do you support or oppose this? I support President Trump. That's my answer. I know the man. He's the commander-in-chief. He's the man for the hour, and he's had the weight of the world on his shoulders. So in a situation like this, I support my friend, and he's had my back, and I have his. That's my perspective. By the way, I also look at this and I say, and I understand the arguments of people that, you know, oh, don't intervene and all that. I get it. But boy, have we not exhausted so many diplomatic channels and options. Here is Netanyahu, 261, praising and congratulating President Trump. Play cut 261.

Joe's a liar.

Joe has hidden knowledge, guys.

He had a private conversation.

So in one sentence he tells you he didn't really know Charlie well, but then it— I did, by the way. I did. I knew Charlie really well for a long time. I don't know Charlie really well, but, uh, he told me, please stop a war with Iran. Really? It's interesting he was saying different thing to his audience. So we're supposed to trust you despite you having lied in the prior, what, 2.5 minutes at least 20 times?

Lied.

I know you lied. I was there.

I don't know anything about Butler.

You don't know anything? Remember that briefing I offered you? You didn't take. You're going to say it didn't happen? I wasn't allowed access into Charlie Kirk. Really?

That's interesting. That's interesting.

I'll wait for your apology on that.

There's like a paper trail on that. We'll see who's telling the truth. Again, I'll just accept your apology later. Play the rest of the video.

With Iran, he was in the Oval Office in the lead-up to the 12-day war. I wasn't particularly close with Charlie. He was very gracious to me when I was running for Congress, very, very supportive. Sort of, uh, so we knew each other. And last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this earth was in, in June, um, in, in the, in the West Wing, in the stairway. And I said hi to him, and he looked me in the eye, and he said very loudly— and it's a small— you've been in the West Wing, it's, yes, it's small, uh, it's a tight space— and, and he said, 'Just stop us from getting into a war with Iran.' Oh, that's convenient.

He was single-minded, very—

walked off, and he went, I believe, into the Oval. Um, so when one of President Trump's closest advisors who is vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship with the Israelis, um, and then he's suddenly publicly assassinated and we're not allowed to ask any questions about that.

Here he goes again.

It's a data point. It's a data point that we need to look into.

It's a data point. He has—

okay, here he goes again. He doesn't know Charlie, but he's so in tune with Charlie. Charlie shared with him— they had this— he doesn't know him. He runs into him in a He is right. The West Wing is very small. And that's what Charlie says conveniently. Charlie says to him, hey, Joe, please stop us from going to war with Iran. Folks, if you believe that, I've got a freaking bridge in Brooklyn. It's quite old. I will sell you for like $10. You really believe that happened? Despite Charlie never saying that to me ever in our multitude of conversations. Charlie. I don't recall Charlie saying that on his show. Matter of fact, we just played Charlie saying the opposite. But no, he shared it with Joe Kent, who just says, I don't know him. And then he slips the Israelis in there. Oh, these are the Jews. Did it be the Jews?

I can't.

I can't.

I cannot believe people are falling for this bullshit. You know something, brother? You got these data points you keep talking about? Put them out there. Put them out there. You've got some hidden evidence on Charlie or Butler?

Put it out there.

You want to go down, uh, the Candus route?

6,000 pieces of data, not a single piece of evidence? Put it out there. There.

That's what chaos agents do.

Go do it.

I got a list, I got info.

Tune in next week at 6, $25 just to get in.

I'd ask any questions about that. It's a data point. It's a data point that we need to look into.

It's a data point, folks.

He just won't tell you what it is, either this Candace or anyone else.

This is the data point. It's in a black box somewhere.

You were in the government.

You had the same TS/SCI clearance I had.

How come you're not telling anybody? You know, it's funny, like, people who—

the black pillars who are trying to divide this movement like the Grand Canyon so they can hijack it in 2028— I'll tell you, people like me and Cash and Ratcliffe, oh, look at this, They're deep state guys hiding stuff.

Meanwhile, we're the ones telling you things. You just don't like what you're hearing. The people you lionize and put on a pedestal tell you bullshit. I have data, but I'm not going to tell you. I actually give you the data. Whether you like it or not is up to you. You voted Donald Trump in, who appointed a bunch of lieutenants to go in there and open the books, and we did. You didn't like the answer, some people. Then you get this guy goes in there He tells you he's got a bunch of data points, never tells you a single one of them, makes no connection between 30 different disparate facts, and this is your hero?

It's a data point. It's a data point that we need to look at.

It's a data point. It's a data point.

You mean a data point like the devices and the thousands of interviews that were conducted? That's, that's a data point too, except it's actual data. You just don't like the answer because you don't think the Jews are behind it. Yeah, let me just point out, by the way, just a couple of the contradictions where this is Joe debating Joe in his own interview. Again, there was an Iranian fatwa against nuclear development. What, just minutes later? The Iranians are not stopping their development of nuclear program. Well, are you debating yourself? Because you're doing a terrible job. Who won? Joe 1 or Joe 2? Iran's not an imminent threat. Then he implies later on that the Iranians are behind the threat— or the actual, sorry, action that shot President Trump in the head.

Really?

You know something there? I thought they weren't an imminent threat, but they're an imminent threat that tried to kill President Trump. Folks, they're his words. I'm sorry if you're a sucker who fell for this. Those are his words, not mine. I've been very pleasant. This guy was my friend. But you're freaking crazy if you think I'm gonna let you go out there and pull me into your crazy bullshit.

Oh, I was kept from this stuff.

Bullshit. And you know it's bullshit. That is bullshit. Again, I'll accept your apology later. Then he says what? You know, we weren't given access. He says that all the time. Oh, I wasn't allowed to look at anything. And then he goes and tells you later he's got this special piece of information, the data point. I've got the data point. What is it? Were you not given access, or is there a data point out there that you just won't say? You're falling for this bullshit. Are you insane? How are you falling for this? This is a scam, no different than freaking Three Card Monte. This is a bullshit scam. I wasn't given access, but I got a bunch of data points. Really? How'd you get them if you weren't given access?

I guessed.

Other kids. Because Candace does the same thing. She didn't even have access. I got a bunch of information.

Do you have any evidence?

No, none.

Yeah, tune in at 6, whatever. You know something, say it.

You know something, say it. You got information about Charlie, about Butler. You got special information about Epstein. You've got special information.

We're all hiding it.

We're all the secret cabal of like Trump's friends who are magically trying to sabotage Donald Trump for some reason only you know. Say it. Put it out there. Grow a pair of balls. There's two things hanging between your legs.

Grow them.

Put it out there. Instead, you want to rage at the people who told you the truth while declaring nothing is happening. Nothing's happening. Then something happens. Well, nothing else has happened. Then that happens. Well, nothing else else is happening. I have secret information. I would have done it different. You wouldn't have done shit. You sat on your ass and did nothing. You complain on Twitter claiming you have secret information and that the gatekeepers are keeping information from Trump while you do nothing. You know him. Call him up. A lot of these people know him. They have his number. Call him up. Give him your data. Data points. Oh, you don't have it.

These people overload you with information and underwhelm you with facts. Don't fall for it.

Data point.

It's a data point. It's a data point. And of course you got to blame the Jews because that's like the boogeyman when you don't have an answer and you can't connect two things.

Asif Merchant.

Was being investigated for a plot to assassinate Trump.

Thomas Crook shoots Trump. Yeah, those are two facts. Yeah. Is there a tie? Do you have it?

No, I don't have it, but they're definitely related.

How? How do you have that information?

No.

The Jews. And then suckers are like, oh, no, definitely the Jews. The Jews. Do you have any evidence of that either? Because let me tell you something. Is it that a point?

Is it that a point?

If it was the Jews or the Israelis, I want to know. Produce it, produce it. Let's see it. Here's Gutfeld. You got that Gutfeld clip? Here's Greg Gutfeld, by the way, kind of a libertarian too. Here's Gutfeld and Dana Perino on The Five last night saying the exact same thing. Like, do you guys have any actual evidence like this Israeli thing? Like, because this just seems like a cop out for every single thing you guys make up in your hidden knowledge black box theory. What's in the black box? Definitely the Jews.

Check this out. One of the big things that is emerging is this criticism that started early on in the war, which is that Israel made Trump do it. Yeah. And the president's rejected that, Caroline Levin, they've all rejected that except for that there is this strain that wants that to be the issue.

But that has been disproven by history. You have 40 years of Trump talking about Iran. He said what he was gonna do to Iran in the '80s. He actually telegraphed what he was gonna do to the island of Krog or whatever it's called.

It's also interesting because someone in the chat laughing at the hidden knowledge.

You should be laughing because it's the mark of a sucker. I have hidden knowledge I'm not going to disclose to you.

Tune into my podcast at 6. Right, Justin's good.

I'm gonna make an announcement about an announcement on my show, then I'm going to get to my show and announce at a future date I promise you I'm going to disclose some hidden knowledge, and you announce it every day, the future date, but never actually announce the knowledge.

Did you—

do you not see this pattern? I'd rather be down to one listener than to fall for that shit.

All right, I want to take a quick break, and then I want to show you how— folks, this is important. You know Norm Eisen, this left-wing lawyer?

We have to walk and juggle at the same time. Not even chew gum. We got to walk and juggle. I'm getting a little tired too with some of the people. Oh, I'm above this. We don't need the podcast wars or whatever. It's not a podcast war. Cut the shit. You know exactly what this is about. You've got a bunch of people using a wedge issue, foreign affairs and our relationship with Israel, to come in and hijack the MAGA movement, attack everybody in it because they have money involved with their preferred 2028 candidate, who's not what you think. I told you to bookmark this show, and I mean it. But we have got to fight off these leftists too, because they're not kidding around. And they're using these doomers because they know exactly what they're doing. If you can't fracture it from the outside, than fracture it from the inside.

Quick break. I'm going to show you this clip. They—

by the way, when the left tells you who they are, listen to them. Hey, think about this.

In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at the spot price. At today's prices, those 33 ounces would be worth over $150,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. That's why I buy gold from Birch Gold Group, have for a long time. B-I-R-C-H. It's a crucial part of my balanced financial strategy. Gives me peace of mind given all the events that can impact the U.S. economy. We've seen inflation over the years. This is my hedge. See if holding gold in a tax-sheltered retirement account is right for you too. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold. Just text my last name, Bongino. B-O-N-G-I-N-O, to the number 989898 to receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. With an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens and tens of thousands of happy customers, me included, let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold. That's peace of mind. That's Birch Gold, B-I-R-C-H. Text Bongino, my last name, to 989898. Give them a shot. Text my last name, Bongino, to the number 989898 today. Message and data rates apply.

Thank you, Birch Gold. So again, we have to protect our own movement while simultaneously fending off the left. These are not optional, folks. Someone wrote in a piece like, we, you know, we didn't ask for this podcast bro fight. I didn't ask for it either. Either did Ben or Dana or Mark or anyone else. Nobody asked for this.

But however, a lot of these people, you included—

we're not special because we have a microphone. It's not special about us.

We're activists in the movement just like you are. We may have an audience system. We have no superpowers. Those of you who've been through this movement and the attacks on the movement from the inside, whether from the establishment that lost its way or someone else, you've been through this before. That's why it's so dangerous. I'm sorry you got in the movement 5 minutes ago and you're like, oh, let's just disregard this. Oh yeah, let's disregard. Let's cancel or rot the whole body. No, because we're fighting these people.

This is Norm Eisen, Democrat super lawyer, basically talking about openly and proud of it how they just wait for these people to be appointed and accept their positions, and the lawfare and the lawsuits start immediately.

Again, they advertise this, they don't hide it.

Check this out.

We have 152 open legal matters against the Trump administration since January 20th. We filed the first one at 12:01 PM. We want to file the very first lawsuit. I had somebody listening on their iPhone to the swearing-in and standing at the GSA to drop a complaint on them about the Trump Hotel. So, you know, just compelled by circumstance And when Trump is ejected, as I believe he will be, then I'll help stitch up some of the damage and I'll go back to book writing.

There you go.

This is why I get so upset when like Chief Justice Roberts says, man, you can't criticize the bench and this stuff.

Listen, of course we should. No one, absolutely no one should ever condone, imply they condone it or even like do anything other but condemn political violence.

Period. No place for it anywhere.

I can't say it enough. It's important. But that is a branch of government that reports to the people as well. These leftist lawyers like Norm Eisen and others are abusing the system, are abusing prosecutorial discretion, are abusing the bench like Judge Boasberg and others to dictate a political agenda, not a judicial And the left is taking advantage of this. Remember this, the process is always the punishment for the left. The left will drag you in and civilly or criminally prosecute you just for doing your job. They've understood this forever. So what are the fixes?

Again, because unlike a data point guy, I'm actually—

I actually want to produce data that's useful.

Data, what is it? I don't know, knowledge special.

Here are some fixes. You just saw the Department of Justice implement a new policy where they're going to hire lawyers that have basically a year or less of experience. It happens all the time. There are circuit court judges and others who hire people, law firms that hire people right out of law school. I saw a whole bunch of leftists complaining, oh my God, I can't believe it, the DOJ is trying to hire new lawyers. Yeah, maybe because their own lawyers weren't lawyers, they were politicians. But then you got the other side again, the doomers that join right in. Nothing's happening. And then when something happens, they don't like it.

I can't believe they're hiring lawyers with, you know, a little—

just a little bit of experience. Oh, everybody does it. I told you, wanted new lawyers. We got elected to change the government and get rid of the weaponized actors and bring back people who uphold the Constitution. We're gonna need a better class of judges. Judges that rule on the Constitution and the law and not on politics like Boasberg. That's going to take time. These judges have lifetime appointments. A lot of them just don't want to retire. There's nothing I can do about that, or anyone else. You get in front of—

and it's not all judges, by the way. It's not. I, you know, I—

there are judges who've been appointed by Democrats and Republicans who make pretty sound decisions every day. It's true. I don't want you to completely lose faith faith in the entire system. However, it only takes a small pocket of judges who are acting as politicians for people— the fidelity of the system falls apart, and there's a lot of them. Those people are going to have to retire. We can't make them retire. That is out of my control and anyone else's. Donald Trump's too. It's going to take time. It's going to take time by us winning elections constantly. And getting these people appointed.

We already changed all the actors at DOJ, Maine.

We also have to get new state AGs in there. And even at the state level, we're going to have to elect Republican governors like we did with Ron DeSantis, who changed the entire Florida Supreme Court. Folks, the answers are simple.

Getting to the answer is hard.

The answer is simple: just change the people. How do we change the people?

We got to win elections. That's the hard part. That's not hidden knowledge.

You see other people, I got the answer, tune in at 6 for $25.

I don't have any hidden knowledge. I'm just giving you the truth. How do we change the government? We got to go win elections. That's the hard part. But Dan, that just seems so obvious. Because it is. But it's hard. I know. I know, I ran.

I didn't win.

I love when people point that out.

Did you run?

No, I didn't. Oh, so you didn't run. You just sat on the sidelines and complained about others. To be clear. But on the moral totem pole, you're— again, you're this paragon of virtue because you never had the balls to actually put your name on a ballot. I love that one. That one's my favorite, folks.

You want these lunatics in charge?

Because we have a choice going forward. We just have to win, and we are never going to win with a cancerous rot in our own movement trying to kill the host. We're just not. You know, I, I try my best as a content creator in this space, I try my best to give other people a shot, whether it's Sean Farish, um, Graham Allen, or others, and try to promote their material as much as I can. Because why? Because it's not about me, it's about a movement, a movement I believe in, and the movement has to outlast me and everyone else. So all I ask these folks is pay it forward. We see Maze more on X, I tell you to go to that sign, it's not our stuff, it's his. Go to his account, follow it. Why? Because the movement has to outlast all of us. This is a young creator some of you may know, some of you may not. She's excellent. It's a woman named Caitlin Bennett. She does a really good job with man-on-the-street interviews showing you the insanity of the left. We don't win elections, these are the people who are going to be appointing United States attorneys, judges, people at DOJ, Maine state AGs and state judges.

These are the people who are going to appoint them.

You think you're going to live in a free country with these people in charge? Check this out.

More in common with a Trump supporter or radical Islamist?

Um, radical Islamist.

You saw someone wearing one of those red hats chanting Make America Great Again, or you saw someone shouting Allahu Akbar running down the breezeway here. Who would you feel more safe with?

The one shouting Allahu Yeah, you would support the radical Islamists?

Yeah.

What is it about Trump supporters that you don't think you'd get along with them so well?

Uh, I'm gay.

But you would, you would get along with the radical Islamists?

Yes.

And you're gay? Yes. In solidarity with radical Islamists, would you look at the camera and say in solidarity, Allahu Akbar?

Allahu Akbar.

And would you say Make America Great Again in solidarity with the Trump Trump supporters?

No.

What is a bigger threat to America today, radical Islam or Trump supporters?

Trump supporters. I'll say Trump.

Trump supporters and MAGA.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I would say Trump supporters and MAGA.

I would have to go with the Trump supporters.

Trump supporters.

Trump supporters and MAGA. Trump supporters and MAGA.

I'd say MAGA.

But we should be able to allow people to be who they are.

Yeah, even if they're a radical Islamist. Yes.

There's no right to to judge that.

So if someone came running down the street, "Allahu Akbar," or if there was someone on the opposite side saying, "Make America Great Again," got my red hat on, which side would you run to?

Um, I don't know. Thank you, Caitlin Bennett, for your wonderful work. I strongly recommend you follow her and support her content. Do you know her, Dan? Never met her. Maybe I met her at an event, but I don't really know her well. But amazing work. You want those people in charge? You want to see how the government got to this point now where Donald Trump has spent the last, you know, year and close to a half right now trying to clean up this mess? Because people like that have appointed everyone from judges to bureaucrats to United States attorneys to people in the Social Security Administration to people in the FCC, the SEC, the Bureau of Indian Affairs. You got people appointing people, their own like-minded people who think like that inside the government.

You think they advertise advertise who they are when a Republican gets elected?

No, they hide. They try to wait out the 4 or 8 years, and then they come back with a vengeance. You know, it's Caitlin Bennett at— write this down— K-A-I-T— sorry, my eyes are getting bad— M-A-R-I-E— is that zero or O-X? O-X. I'm sorry, my eyes are not that— are not that great. Caitlin Bennett on X, verified account. Pay it forward, everyone. Listen, guys, I have a lot more. These guys are probably laughing like, you're going to get to any of the actual show? You think I'm kidding? We got into a third of the first page. Oh yeah, yeah. You know what? We should, we should go out. Here's a talk. It's a perfect time, actually. And by the way, tomorrow we got to do that nothing is happening clip again with the nothing is happening file. All those files we have a cache. All the stuff he talked about yesterday, like fentanyl deaths are down, well, nothing's happening. First, I just— by the way, I just learned this because I've been out for a couple months. I know we had Operation Summer Heat, but in New Orleans, where we flooded the zone with FBI agents out there doing actual criminal work, it's the first time at Mardi Gras they never had a homicide.

I didn't even know. I found that out yesterday. Yesterday from him because the stats were updated after I left. But nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. Nothing. Crime rate, murder rate, all-time low. Public corruption cases all over the place. Antifa, first ever, 9 of them convicted. First ever Antifa. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. BLM, no, nothing's happening. More Antifa in LA, nothing's happening.

Morons.

You want this guy in charge? By the way, folks, you remember Cenk from The Young Turks? There is not a crazier SOB anywhere.

I had him on my show at a debate one time.

I don't know what happened, if he took sedatives or whatever, but I don't know, like, the guy's always been a lunatic. Here's Cenk from The Young Turks. He's on Piers Morgan's show, and I don't even know what happens here.

Listen, man, I'm not knocking the guy.

Guy for yelling. I'm a yeller myself.

I'm not—

I want to be clear, like, I got the Queens in me. I get passionate too.

The problem is it's not what he— that he's done— it's not the form, it's what he's saying. It's the content. This is a guy who, again, everything is the Jews all the time. This is what I'm talking about by has hidden knowledge— the Jews did it. Has no evidence that what he's saying is actually true— the Jews did it. Disconnects And then just screams about it, thinks if he screams louder, you'll really believe it.

If you missed this yesterday, this is a classic. Watch the crash out. Check this out.

I can prove it. I can prove it. So tell me if we should put American troops or Israeli troops in. Okay, why are we putting our guys in? Ben Ferguson, that traitor, said that it was no big deal that 13 Americans died. Americans died. It's a huge deal. 13 Americans died. Why do you send your goddamn Israeli friends into a war? They started it. They started it.

Never said by me. Never said by me. You know what?

Okay, I'm never— Pierce, I'm never going to let anyone else on this program talk because the minute I start talking, they start interrupting and go, Israel's the greatest, Israel's the greatest. They bribed all of our politicians. It is exceedingly clear So stop working for Israel, you corrupt sons of bitches. Work for America. Here's your solution. Here's your solution, and it's super simple. We get the fuck out of there. We have zero interest in there. None, none, none.

So let Israel decide what to do.

You put in the ground troops. You put in the ground troops. Ben Ferguson, answer this question. Should we be sending Israeli ground troops or American ground troops?

I think there's no major ground troop movements because the president's made it clear we're not invading the country. If you listen to what he said, you would already know that not happening.

If we put in ground troops now, that's another lie.

I always said we would have put in ground troops. You know what? I'm going to go on and say this.

American or Israeli?

The truth is—

American or Israeli? Which ground troops?

Cenk, calm down. The truth is I'm just going to let that segment speak for itself.

That's who you're dealing with. You want these people in charge? Yes, we have to walk and juggle at the same time. Listen to me, folks, before I get out of here. Move the chair back like I'm going to get up and walk over to them. Chair's red, by the way. You ever seen that? They didn't like it. They thought the red— Guy, thank you. Justin did. Guy was like, I don't like the red chair. It's distracting. I said, well, you can start Guy Inc., and then you can get your own chair. That's okay, right, Guy? That's what the red chair— how you didn't like the red chair. He's like, it was distracting. But seriously, guys, The movement's got to be about truth, man. And I'm not Emily Dickinson, okay? I'm not trying to be melodramatic with my words. I mean it in the literal sense of the word. If we're not going to be anchored in truth and facts, then you're going to be spun by hoaxsters and magicians and people who use old tricks for the uninitiated into reason. And that's how movements fall apart into Tower of Babel-like chaos. Everybody's speaking a different language.

The Jews killed Charlie. The Jews killed the president. The Arabs killed the president. And nobody can agree on anything because nobody trusts anyone anymore. And then everything just falls apart. If you really believe President Trump is surrounded by people who hate him, who he knows and he appointed, and who just suckered him— I'm so smart, I suckered him into the position. I am the dancer. He did a little spell, a little Esmeralda-like spell. Mr. President, he was like transfixed by my verbal legerdemain. If you believe that, I'm sorry, you're an idiot. And if you believe too that the people spewing out a series of facts, they tell you they have the connection in a hidden box and it's a data point, but never actually give you the data point or make the connection, they're engaging in Tower of Babel chaos.

It's a data point because they'll never get to the point.

It's a data point, but they'll never tell you what it is because there's clout with a certain group of lunatics by pretending you have information you don't have. The hard show today, and I know we'll get probably a good significant amount of backlash from all the right people. But that's okay. I told you when I said I was born for this shit, I'm not kidding. I know exactly what comes with this. That's fine. Thanks for tuning in. You got Haley coming up at noon. You got Vince every day at 8 AM on Rumble. Vince Colonace and Haley Karania.
