Transcript of The Liberal Meltdown Means They're Guilty In This Scandal (Ep. 2420)

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, this is the genius of Trump, right? He puts his political opponents in these classic dilemmas where it's essentially, if you want to look this up, most of you know what it means anyway. I don't mean to sound like an arrogant ass, but you know what Hobson's choice is? It's a choice that's really no choice at all. In other words, you could take this horse or no horse at all. Well, that's not really a choice. You have to take the horse, right? Donald Trump, the genius of Trump. Again, I'm not saying everything's 4D chest, but I'm saying a lot of it is that the media misses is he puts his political opponents into classic dilemmas where either choice is bad. Someone said it the other day. Was it Gutfeld on the 5? I'm not really sure. Someone One on the Five brought it up. Another genius component, tactical political component of Trump is that he gets his opponents to vigorously support an issue that only 15% of America, i. E. The communists crazy support, and he gets them to do it vigorously just as a reflexive anti-Trump response.

I have a name for that. I've been calling it the Show Your Ass Theory. How it just becomes all about fighting Trump at the expense of rationality. I want to show you what I mean at the beginning of the show about, again, this government spending issue, how he has the Democrats, unbelievably, they're usually smarter than this, tactically speaking, defending the indefensible. And I'll explain for new, Lanu, thanks to my man, Kat Turd. It meant to be a joke, but it blew up yesterday. I think it was like two or three trending on Twitter. Today is sponsored by Beam.

He's the best, probably one of the top five, maybe the top most influential up there with Libs at TikTok, accounts on X, can move the needle instantly. So I was joking yesterday about this gentleman who has become a national hero, standing up to the raving banshees at this government building, Max Seedwater. I need to identify yourself immediately. This guy, what did you call him, Justin?

The most unbothered man in America. So because this guy is probably a low-key guy, he doesn't want his name out there, I understand. So I said, Listen, we need to give this guy a medal under the moniker, Fana Lanu. Phanou Lanou, cat turd. I asked him to make it go viral. I was kidding, but he did. It was trending on Twitter all night. You go look it up. Fanu Lanu is a law enforcement term when you don't know the name of the person you're targeting. It stands for first name unknown, last name unknown. So out of respect for this gentleman, we're going to call him Phanou Lanou. Phanou Lanou, you are a national hero. We all love you. Thank you for standing up for sanity against the raving Democrat lunatics. So for those of you who tuned in to decipher what Faneu Lanu meant, that is it. And a big hat tip to Kat Turd for making that go viral. The guy's got crazy juice on X-Man. All right. Getting back to what I open the show with. Listen, Donald Trump has a lot of political superpowers. He does. The ability to make his enemy so angry that they engage in irrational behavior just to look like they're targeting him.

It's an incredible thing to watch. You know, Someone put this thing out on X this morning and said, If you're a P1 listener in the Bongino army, you'll get this. You can check it out. Just put my name in X. You'll see it. It's in there somewhere. It's a guy putting a dollar or whatever in a Coke machine. It doesn't come out. He's kicking the Coke machine. Now, I got it. So whoever put that up there, you're clearly a P1. I got you, bro. I see. I know exactly what you're doing. I've talked about this extinction burst phenomenon over and over. Bear with me. I promise I'm not going to bore you to death with psychology terms, but this mattered. An extinction burst, you can look it up on your favorite search engine right now, is a very real thing. It's when you engage in a behavior, dollar in the Coke machine, you get a reward, the Coke, and then all of a sudden you put a dollar in, and one day it doesn't come out. Behavior, no reward. What happens? People do irrational things. What? They kick the Coke machine like, That's going to fix the problem.

You break it, that's a crime. It's not rational, but they do it anyway. Animals do it all the time, human beings. That is what's going on right now with the Democrats. In the past, they have engaged in this behavior, the dollar in the Coke machine. Just call them a racist, go to the media and say grandma's going to starve to death and have to eat cat food. Show a video of grandma getting thrown over the cliff, and government will be continued. Government will continue to waste fraud and abuse away our money, and no one will pay attention. And Republicans back down because they were afraid. Not only is Donald Trump and Elon Musk through Doge not back down when they get... They double down. And they say, Hey, we're going to the military, Pentagon next. We're going to Department of Education. So what happens? The Democrats are so used to the reward, dollar in the Coke, machine Coke. When the Coke doesn't come out, they're kicking and screaming at the machine totally irrationally. And now Trump has them in this corner. I really hope you enjoyed this explanation because I'd like this to go nuclear if you can make it up to you.

But it absolutely explains human psychology and the irrationality of politics and what the Democrats are doing right now. They're in a corner. They are defending the indefensible. They are defending clear government waste, sex changes in Guatemala, Peruvian LGBTQ operas. It doesn't matter how much money it is. It matters that it's our money. If Guy were to come up to me and go, Dan, I'm going to put in an order for 72,000 rolls of toilet paper. It's not going to affect our bottom line that much, but it's a waste. What the hell you need that for? What'd you do? Have a bad meal or something? I mean, why would you need that? This is what the Democrats don't understand. When people hear $2 million for Guatemala and sex changes, they're thinking, You know what I could do with that $2 million? I could buy a homeless veteran a million dollar home twice over. I'd get him a summer home, too. The Democrats are too stupid because they're used to getting the Coke out of the machine. It's not happening. So they're whining like children, not realizing that they're in this dilemma, which is this, defend the indefense responsible government waste, or don't defend it and watch your gravy train dry up.

In other words, let Elon weed out the government waste in conjunction with the Trump administration, and the government waste has been wasted on Democrat causes which is going to dry up their gravy train. Do you understand the classic dilemma? Defend it, lose political power. Don't defend it, lose economic power. You get it? Do you understand the genius of what Trump and Elon are doing here? They are in a totally, completely untenable position. And now that we are the media now, we are the media. Elon owns X, and this podcast, War Room, Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, the Magosphere. We're the media now. We dominate the media. Megan Kelly, Tucker. The left doesn't have the voice to compete with us anymore, so they can't even whine about it. Folks, Receits Matter. This is the freaking receipt show. I don't say I can't back up. You think I'm kidding that they're defending the indefensible? This is so unbelievably unpopular that even for stupid liberals, it's incredible how irrational they're acting right now in this extinction burst. Here's a CNN clip. Yes, CNN. We play this guy often. He appears to be relatively unbiased when it comes to at least left-wing media.

Here he is a poll showing Donald Trump's approval rating is basically through the roof right now, and the Democrats are getting their asses kicked, but they're continuing to kick the coke machine because they just can't stop the extinction burst. Watch this. I think one of the things that's so important for politicians is for folks to believe what they're saying and that they're keeping their campaign promises. I think this gives you a pretty gosh darn good idea of what may be going on. Trump's doing what he promised to do. You go Go back to April of 2017, it was just 46% of all Americans who said that Trump was doing what he promised to do. Compare that now to February of 2025. There was a good show that was on during the 1990s called A Different World. That is what's going on right now. We're living in a different world. 70% of Americans say Trump is doing what he promised to do. Again, compare that to April of 2017, when it was just 46%, when Americans are 24 points more likely to that you're doing what you promised to do, it's no wonder that your net approval rating is much more likely to be on the positive side of the ledger than on the negative side.

Brothers and sisters in the Bongino army, receipts matter, man. It's a CNN guy talking about a poll. It's not Fox News or Bongino. Com? I'm telling you, of all of the superpowers Donald Trump has politically, he has many. He has weaknesses, too, like anyone else. His greatest superpower is forcing Democrats into extinction burst behavior, where either choice they make is a Hobson's choice. It's no choice at all because they're both dead. Defend sex changes in Guatemala, or don't do it and lose your ability to engage in identity politics and profit from it around the world. Either way, brother, you lose. Either way. You think I'm kidding how this is just the beginning? We are the media now. I don't say that. I know some people complain. It sounds arrogant. Number one, I don't care because it's not intended that way at all. You notice when I mention the Magosphere, I never mention just my I mentioned just myself. I mentioned other creators, too, because it's not about me. It's about us. I mean that. You got Charlie, you got Benny, you got Banon, you got Megan Kelly, you got Tucker. You got a bunch of great shows out there to pick from.

I'm not the only one. I'm honored you're here, but you don't have to be here. There's other choices as well. We're just as talented. But we are the media now. The collective audience between those people, Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN, is more than enough to compete and override the traditional mainstream media. They are powerless to hurt us anymore. They can't avoid hiding stuff like this. I want you to watch this. So last night, I'm upstairs in the little office room I have. I watch some TV in the night because it's dark. Who cares? Why am I telling you? But I'm sitting there and I'm going through doing some show prep, and I see this clip by an excellent Congresswoman, Lauren Bobert. This is, again, about US government money going to fund something so abhorrent that when you hear it, this little clip, it's about 30 seconds. I promise you're going to think it's fake. I actually texted the Congress. I wanted to be sure this was real. It's real. The Democrats, do you want to defend this? Listen to what your money was used to fund. We'll talk about it on the other side, and you'll see how Trump getting them to defend this stuff is us, the epitome of tactical political power.

Watch this. In Can you plant aborted baby parts into a lab animals? Have you heard of that research? Yeah. We did an analysis a few years ago showing that over 90% of experiments with using human fetal tissue and putting them involved. Animals were funded by Fauci's NIAID. Do you know where they're getting the aborted human fetal tissue? A lot of it is happening at colleges and universities that have affiliated hospitals that perform that procedure. Madam Chair, I think we need to look into that as well. Oh, Madam Chair, I think you do. Thank you, Congresswoman Boebert, for pointing that out. Aborted human baby tissue into animals? I'm telling you, I'm not messing with you. I thought that was fake. I had to text her and be like, Is this real? This is an AI, right? That actually happened. This is what your tax dollars are funding. Democrats, are you really sure for the umptenth time, this is the hill you want to die on? They're out there dragging all day. We're suing in the courts to keep human fetal parts implanted into animal wombs or whatever. They're suing to defend all of this stuff. Or NIH overpayments We're suing the defender, and they really think this is a winner.

This is why I'm going to throw something out of you. I need you all to listen to me for a second. Hold on, I'm going to black out for you. I need everybody to listen in. Listen in good, okay? That was my grandma. Listen and listen good. My grandmother got mad at me. I love you, grandma. Don't panic over the Democrats' use of the judicial system to engage in welfare. There's zero question these judges have so far overstepped, and I'm going to get to it more coming up in my Lawfare segment. No question about it. But we knew they were going to do this. It's sad we have to deal with fake judges in robes who are usurping the power of the executive and the legislative branch. I mean, it's sad. It's tragic. But it's not a surprise. We know the Democrats are communists. We know they engage in welfare. Okay, Dan, when does a good part come? The only salvation to this. This is why I'm telling you, don't lose a ton of sleep over this. We may not win them all, but we're going to win a whole bunch of them. There is no question that if the presidency matters and the Constitution matters, that we are going to eventually get a judge who's going to say, Wait, this judge in Rhode Island said that Donald Trump can't execute functions of the executive branch?

Here's why I'm telling you not to freak out. It's going to empower Trump for the rest of the presidency as this makes its way up the judicial ladder, possibly to the Supreme Court, because there's going to be nowhere for them to go. The Democrats that have done this before may incredibly be kicking themselves in the to me again. Because it's only two weeks in, they're wasting a ton of money and time suing for every little thing. If six months in, they lose 90 out of 100 of these cases, Donald Trump will have reinstituted the constitutional power of the presidency. Again, the Democrats kicking themselves in the nuts. Don't sue, let it go through, and you lose because Donald Trump shows government waste. Sue and lose, which you're going to on many of these, and you empower Donald Trump for three more years by the time these things are done. Don't freak out over it. It sucks that they can do this. These temporary restraining orders nationally are a joke, Clarence Thomas has been fighting against these things forever. But wouldn't it be great if not only the executive, it happens to be Donald Trump for the next four years, is empowered constitutionally, and these national temporary restraining orders get tossed out, too?

That's why I'm telling you, move fast, rock 'Em, sock 'Em robots, keep it going, and keep the Democrats on their heels. The Rock 'Em, sock 'Em robots will continue, folks. There is a major thing coming. You think the fight started now over Guatemala and sex changes and USAID? I'm going to tell you, not bigger, the USAID fight is huge because it's the deep state piggy bank. However, and if you missed my interview with Mike Benz yesterday, it'll be on the podcast channel next weekend on radio. It was amazing. Benz blew the door off this whole thing. Elon Musk is moving on to the Pentagon next. Folks, you think we've had liberal Communists It's backlash now? But damn, Democrats don't like defense spending. Hold on. Time out. I'm not talking about... This isn't a Democrat-Republican show. It's an anti-swamp show. There are a lot of weapons weapons programs that don't work, where billions of dollars have been wasted. Those weapons programs are made in very specific Congressional districts. Wait till that waste gets uncovered. You think you're just see in the beginning of the backlash. So get ready, buckle up. Let me take a quick break, and I'll show you what I mean.

A video by Secretary Heggsett that went out yesterday that he's done with this, too. Folks, how well do you sleep at night?

Get ready, folks. Again, this show, yesterday, I told you what we weren't going to talk about. We weren't going to do Super Bowl stuff. In case you're new to the show, I welcome you here. I love that you're here. Thank you very much. But I have to be candid with you. If you're here expecting a Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, we're going to leave Swampy Republicans alone show, this isn't the show. You know my adage on the show. Democrats are the cause of all your problems, even though Republicans may not always be the solution. When they're not the solution I'm going to point it out. Defense spending is going to cause an absolute riot in DC. Do you have any idea how many congressmen are making a fortune off of donors, future lobbying careers, off major military-industrial complex weapons programs that don't work in their district? I'm not knocking the defense industry. Thank you for producing the AR-15 I own. Thank you for producing the world's best tanks.

I'm not knocking you. I do want an efficient military, however. We have been wasting a lot of money. Here's Secretary Heggseth. He's absolutely done with this, folks. He's wondering, why is it the Pentagon can't pass an audit? Seems pretty strange, right? All right, time to get on board. Check this out. Tell us about this upcoming look at the spending at the Defense Department. Should we expect hundreds of billions of dollars in wasteful spending there? Unfortunately, I think so. The President is right. He's setting the pace, and he is also correct that American taxpayers deserve to know exactly how and where their money is spent. The fact that I have to commit, Maria, to an audit being done in four years is bad enough. The Pentagon should be able to pass a budget right now. Thankfully, the Marine Corps has passed a clean audit for two years in a row, and I applaud them, but that needs to go across the entire Department. That will be a focus. When we spend dollars, we need to know where they're going and why. That's simple accounting, and that has not existed at the Defense Department, we're going to fix that.

But that's not even DOGE. We welcome Elon Musk and DOGE coming into our Department to help us identify additional ways in which we can streamline processes, fast track acquisitions, cut waste, cut tail to put it to tooth. Secretary Hankset's overseas now, PT, and with our brave men and women in the military over there. By the way, hat tip, United States Marine Corps for actually passing an audit. I love Marines, I really am. I have to be candid with you. I'm jealous. The fact that I never went in the Marine Corps is a sin. I should burn in Haiti for that. Really, you guys and ladies out there who chose the Marine Corps, you're the best. There's nothing like a Marine, man. They were a Marine before. You could be the CEO of IBM or whatever. It doesn't mean you're a Marine first. It's like Texas. Texas is the same way. You ask people where they're from. From this country. You ask people, Texas. Marines are Marines first. God bless you, Marine Corps. Everybody in the chat, give a little salute to our US Marines out there. Who said, Ura? Who said it? Choctaw Marine One.

Hat tip, brother. God bless you, man. You guys are badass. Hey, I love the Army, Navy. You know how I feel about the military, but Marines, I always wanted to be one. My greatest regret in my lifetime. All right, getting back to the show. Folks, this is going to cause an uproar. If you have a weapon system from the '40s that doesn't work, but it brings millions of dollars in jobs to your district, but it's costing the United States money. There's no way these congressmen are going to let it go. And it's not a Democrat or Republican thing. It's a swamp thing. It's how the swamp works. We have to stand strong. You want to fix this country, you You want to do big things? When I was an agent, my boss used to say to me, be careful, big cases, big headaches. Big cases, big headaches. You want to do big politics? They're going to cause you big headaches, and you better get the freaking excedrin because this is how we change this place. They cannot pass an audit because they've been wasting money forever. How bad is it when a left-wing lunatic like John Stewart, big gun grabber, John Stewart, yes, the same guy, the comedian guy.

He's on a panel. Have you ever seen this clip with Biden's number two with the Pentagon. This is not new. This is obviously from a while ago. Jon Stewart, the left winger, is asking her, Hey, man, how is it that you guys can't pass an audit? Where's the billions of dollars going? I want you to listen to her cocky, arrogant answer. She admits she doesn't know. Check this out. There is a lot of waste, fraud, and abuse within a system. Audits, waste, fraud, and abuse are not the same thing. So let's decompose these spaces for a moment. Then please educate me on what the difference. Sure. An audit is exactly what you just described, which is, do I know what was delivered to which place? The ability to pass an audit or the fact that the DOD has not passed an audit is not suggestive of waste, fraud, and abuse. That is completely false right there. Now, it's a question of... What is it suggesting? It's suggestive that we don't have an accurate inventory that we can pull up of what we have where. That is not the same as saying we can't do that because as waste, fraud, and abuse has occurred.

In my world, that's waste. How is that waste? If I give you a billion dollars and you can't tell me what happened to it, that to me is wasteful. That means you are not responsible. But if you can't tell me where it went, then what am I supposed to think? This guy's a lefty. He's a liberal. He's asking this Biden Pentagon official, Where the hell are these billions of dollars? She's like, I don't know. But an audit and waste fraud. You see how they play the euphemisms game? They dance around the word games like an illegal alien becomes an undocumented visitor of the United States or some ridiculous euphemism. They do this all the time. It's a simple question. The way to beat this, by the way, is to always, always bring it back to ground level. Don't let them elevate the conversation using words into things unconnected to what's happening on the ground. Don't let them do it. Go right back to the question you started with. I didn't ask you what words you're using or any other stuff or dancing around it. Where is the money? Why can't you tell us? Listen to your buddy Dan here.

You think USAID caused a storm? Wait till a military-industrial complex, they start asking questions there. I'm telling you, Bank it, flag it. Produce and Jim, we haven't flagged anything in a long time. Flag it right now. Red flag's in the chat. You are going to see even swampy Republicans like, Well, we need the hanglider 62 for GI Joe like Cribs, you're going to be like, What? Oh, the factories in your district? Watch. There we go. Tear it up, dad chat. Tear it up. We have the best Emojis. The Holy Karate Man, Fegazy, red flags everywhere. I love it. When we open the new studio, we'll even do even more. You got to see the studio, by the way. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. We're going to do an audience show It's opening soon. Everyone, hat tip, Paula. Paula did an amazing job on the design. Guys, how does the studio look? It's pretty freaking awesome. We're opening. You guys are going to see it, too. All right, let me take a quick break here. When I get back on this, we're going to go into our... What was that? Thanks. Wait one more time. Thanks. That poor guy, we've never heard from him again after we outed him on the show as a moron.

The next segment is going to be important. I'm going to document for you quickly the judicial warfare going on around the country, and I have a proposal. Granted, I mean it hyperbolically, but it's meant to accentuate a point about the liberals these judges right now who are clearly acting as legislators and executives and not judges at all. I'm going to ask him a simple question. If Trump were to do X, would you be happy with it? Hey, one of my favorite traditions is choosing New Year's resolutions. We all get the opportunity, start the year fresh, set goals, tackle new challenges. This new year, I encourage you to learn something new.

All right, back to the show. Judicial Warfare, ladies and gentlemen, is going on right now. This is not new. Listen, man, everybody knew this was coming. It's not a good thing, it's a horrible thing, but it's not a surprise. You go to a Freddy Kruger movie, you know there's going to be a Wolverine-like Razorblade slicing up some young kids who fall asleep. It's a horrible thing, even in the movies. But you knew what you were getting into. When we won, I told you prior to the Inauguration of Donald Trump, I told you prior to the election, if we win, the Democrats will impeach Donald Trump. Al Green's already trying. They're talking about impeaching Elon Musk now, which is freaking insanity. I told you they would be in the courts if Donald Trump clipped his fingernails. They'd be like, He's not authorized to do that.

They're doing it. It sucks, period. However, there is a bright side to this. The bright side is a small one, but they're going to sue a thousand times. I think we could win 850 to 900 of them, they'll probably sue more. It is going to reestablish the power of the executive that the Constitution and the founding fathers intended, and then they're going to have to deal with an empowered Donald Trump for three and a half more years, or maybe three after these court cases resolve. They're wasting a ton of time on every little ding defending the indefensible. Here's just a brief update about what happened just in the last few days. They are working overtime to make sure this government gravy train continues. They're shopping. They're doing this judge shopping thing, folks. Do you know about this? Here is Elon Musk, who now goes by Harry Bolze. Some of you will get that, by the way. Harry Bolzay. It's like, by the way, the McGroin crew out there. I would be disappointed if you can... Hold on, keep that on the screen. If there is not a Big Balls McGroin yet, there is. If there isn't, forget it.

Mcgroin, we're going to have to divorce. I'm sorry. Is there a Big Balls McGroin? Someone please point it out in the chat. Because if there isn't, there better be one quick. Anita is not here today. Speak the truth is out there, but there's got to be a Big Balls McGroin. So we've got Harry Balls, Harry Balls, otherwise known as Elon Musk. You know what's crazy? I'm not messing with you guys. I asked you for a second, even though they told me got a little confused there. I'm like, Who the hell is Harry Balls? Even though before the show, I'm like, Dude, I just want to warn you, Elon changed this thing. I recut it this morning. You recut it this way. There you go. Good job, Justin. Harry Balls, Elon Musk is like, They're judge shopping. You know what judge shopping is? Judge shopping, folks, is when you go and sue in a regional area of the country that has a large majority of Democrat appointed judges on the bench. It's really simple. Where would you go? You go to New New York and the West Coast. They're not going to sue in Florida courts.

They go up to the Northeast. That's why you keep hearing, Massachusetts judge, Rhode Island judge. Not only that, the appeals courts are also stacked with Democrats. This is what they're doing. This is why Clarence Thomas has been speaking out about the national restraining orders. How a judge in New York can give a restraining order for a Congressional district in Wyoming is ridiculous. Clarence Lawrence Thomas has been warning about this forever. This Amus on Twitter is talking about this law fair, too. How this Obama-appointed judge threatened Trump and his team with arrest if they don't restore every dime of funding that have been paused or canceled. Folks, my recommendation is Donald Trump shouldI'm going to ignore this. This judge is obviously not acting constitutionally at all. It should be ignored. Demand it, resuming all. But you can't order the executive to spend. I mean, you've effectively usurped the power of the executive. Now, before I get to the next, I'm going to play you a video by crazy. Big Balls McGroin is here. Big Balls. I knew we had one. I knew it. I was thinking about this on the Monday show. I'm like, We better have a Big Balls, McGroid The McGroin Army is losing their influence, man.

Thank you. You guys, I knew the McGroin would be there. I knew. You guys, ladies, are the best. That's fantastic. Folks, threatening with arrest. Who's going to arrest them? The marshals? You guys know who the US marshals work for? Department of Justice. That is under the... Oh, yeah, executive brand. Donald Trump is going to order his own arrest at his team. This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. Here's my suggestion before I play this video. Again, I'm speaking hyperbolically, obviously, but it's meant to accentuate a point. We are a Constitutional Republic. This judge is clearly making up powers he does not have. He does not have power to demand demand the President spend money? I mean, what if... Let me give you an example of what I mean quick. Sorry, but this is so important. The President finds a fraudulent payment to a terrorist group planning an attack in the United States. Can a judge order that payment be made? Of course not, Dan. What's the difference? There's no difference. Donald Trump's the executive. He says, We have a problem in the executive branch. Hold on to these payments. The judge can't order these. He's just making it up.

Here's my suggestion. If liberals are okay with judges making up constitutional powers, are they okay with Donald Trump fabricating executive powers? How about this? How about Donald Trump in the mainstream of the White House sets up a courtroom? Remember the Batman movie, Scarecrow has the courtroom? Or was it the Bane one? Was that the Dark Knight, whatever? That's what we need to do. We need to set up a courtroom. Donald Trump can sit there. He can even wear the wigs they wear in the UK Court system, and he can just start making judicial decisions. He can't do that, bro. The judge can't do it either. What's the difference? If the judge is the executive, why can't the executive be the judge? Ask your stupid liberal friends that. This is clearly a made-up, fabricated power. So you're telling me, Joe Biden, despite being told by the Supreme Court, you cannot pay Pay off student loans with taxpayer money without Congressional authorization. Joe Biden says, middle finger, bro, I'll do what I want. That that's okay. But Donald Trump saying, Don't spend money because we have a problem, that's not okay. Just to be clear. Here is a Democrat Communist, Norm Eisen.

I really can't stand this guy. You want to look at... Just go and research major Democrats scandals of the last few years, and you'll see the attachment to the legal welfare space and people like Norm Eisen. Here is Norm Eisen, Deep State Hack, bragging on MSNBC about basically burning the Constitution, and using welfare to stop Donald Trump from cleaning up any aspect of government, putting the Democrats in a big dilemma. Check this out. A shock and awe assault on the foundations of our democracy with all of these unconstitutions institutional and illegal actions. A responding shock and awe by my group and our allies and many others going to court and securing these orders, stopping them. I won orders last week, the very first case locking Mr. Musk out of the Treasury Department. He has no right to look at that data. Tying the hands of the President, the attorney general, and others who want to dox reveal the identity of 6,000 FBI agents. They don't have any legal right to do that under the Privacy Act and otherwise. We're in court this morning arguing that Donald Trump's birthright citizenship, rewriting the Constitution, he gets to pick and choose who are citizens of the United States.

No, we're in a courtroom right now with our allies fighting that, and we filed a brief on behalf of Anna. This guy is a deep state hack like you've never seen before. Notice how this guy, again, has no problem, by the way. Appears to have no problem with judicial welfare, where people are dragged through the process to ruin their lives. And yet when Donald Trump sees that there may be some partisan bias in a supposedly unpartisan or non-partisan FBI and wants to weed it out. Norm Eisen goes crazy. And he uses all the keywords doxing, illegal access to our data. He's making all of this up. Folks, they are going to die on this hill, and Norm Eisen is too freaking stupid to understand the corner he's in. He is never, ever going to win this argument. He is living in the era of Walter Cronkite, where they think they own the narrative. Here's a perfect Batman analogy now. Remember Bane in that scene? Do you feel like you're in charge? How he puts his hand, palm up on the guy's shoulder. Do you feel like you're in charge? Norm, buddy, you can sue all you want, Daddy-O.

You may win one out of 10. But as Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em continues, you win one out of 10, we do 20 more executive orders. You win two out of 20, we do 30 more executive orders. You win three out of 30, we do 50 more executive orders. We've got the House, we've got the Senate, and we do at least have a small advantage on the Supreme Court. We don't need to win them all. You ever hear, You don't need to outrun the bear. I just need to outrun Michael? Norm's too stupid to figure this out. Instead of marshaling their forces right now, the Democrats, getting their donors together, their email list, their activist base, and selectively picking fights they think they can They're doing this shotgun birdshot approach, which is making them look chaotic. It's wasting assets. They're going to lose most of them, and they're going to empower Donald Trump moving forward to reestablish the executive branch. It's going to be probably the biggest backfire of the presidency for them. Here's another one, Kyle Becker on Twitter. Another judge who's under the delusion the American people elected in President, Judge Kenneth Elizabeth Gonzales, appointed by Obama, big shocker, has told the President of the United States that he can't deport Venezuelan gang members to Gitbo.

This is funny. It's just like, This judge thinks in the end he's going to win this. You're going to lose. It's another temporary restraining order, by the way. You're going to lose. These judges, you can tell right away by who appointed them, probably 90 % of the time, what they're going to do. The law is meaningless to these people. Venezuelan gang members eating the country illegally. Gang members. No, you got to keep them here so they can rape and terrorize and kill people? For real? This is the hill you guys want to die on. You sure? These are not serious people. To throw in a judge in front of your name means absolutely nothing. If the President This agency means nothing, this low-level judge means absolutely nothing. I'm telling you, Potis, President Trump should set up a little court in the Easter Room of the White House. If this is where we are now, the executive is not the executive. The courts are the executive. Well, the executive should just do what they're doing. Of course, the F-O-ing, folks, is going to continue. I told you this. The way to defeat this stuff is they want to sue?

They're the ones spending the money or the time. Oh, we're donating their time. It doesn't matter. You can only be in one courtroom at a time. They want to sue on 10 executive orders, issue 100 more. We win, you lose on numbers. Here's what I'm hoping to make a Daily FO segment. The Democrats F-Aid. They Fed around. Now they're finding out. Every single day, they're finding out more. Here's a good one. I I didn't cover this yesterday. I'm sorry. I know a lot of you asked, given, obviously, my prior line of work. President Trump ordered the Secret Service to give him every bit of information about the two assassination attempts against him. Folks, I told you a long time ago, it's now being reported by Axios and others and Susan Crabbtree, the Iranian threat via drone to President Trump was real. I got to tell you something. I usually care about feedback on this a lot. The The sources I have on this are... I'm just going to leave it. They're unimpeachable. The Iranian threat against Trump was real. The drone threat was real. President Trump does not want to die. Now, I will say this.

He's ordering the Secret Service to give him every bit of information. The Secret Service has this thing, so you understand the mechanics, not to bore you to death, but they have a memorandum of understanding with the FBI. The FBI investigates assassination attempts. He needs to order, I'm sure he has, by the way, the FBI to give him the information, too. They cannot tell him no. But the Secret Service will have in their Protective Intelligence division something about this. He says, No more holding back because of Biden. I'm entitled to know when they've held it long enough. Yes, fess up on the information. You're telling me we don't know anything about these two potential assassins that could have killed them? One guy shot him in the head. Of course they know. Was there an Iran connection or not? They're Maybe there wasn't. Just let the man know. Second, unusual whales tweet. A lot of F-O-ing happened, folks, for the left. Donald Trump has asked the DOJ to review firearms rules and regulations drafted by President Biden, setting up a likely reversal of many of those policies. Yes. President Trump and Pam Bondi are on board to determine any ongoing infringements of the Second Amendment.

Ladies and gentlemen, if gun control worked, why isn't gun control working? Because it doesn't work. It's not a coincidence that liberal cities with the tightest fake gun control laws because they don't control guns, have the highest crime rates. It's not an accident, folks. Good for President Trump. Even more F-O-ing happening. So I'm talking about you can sue all you want. We'll just keep it coming. There'll be a tidal wave of F-O-ing EOs coming. The F-O-E-O. I like that. Can we call that the F-O-E-O? That's what we call it. The executive order. The find out executive order. Bill Malujan, Twitter, breaking. The Trump administration is seeking to deputize IRS agents to carry out a legal immigration enforcement with the US interior. You're going to sue about that, too? Donald Trump can allocate these people to do whatever he wants. We We used to use what we call OTAs in the Secret Service all the time. Other treasury agents, we'd bring them in to supplement us as poststanders at sites. What you're telling me we can't use IRS agents to protect our border? Good luck. Sue on that one, too. Sue away. Let's see what happens. You'll just F-O some more.

We know they're armed. Good point, Justin. I believe they're 1811s, the IRS agents, like anyone else. They can get out there. Everybody's got to help out. Folks, Cash Patel, thankfully, is closing in, hopefully this week, maybe early next week. I hope this week. Tulsi looks good. Knock on wood. Tulsi looks good. Excellent. Rfk looks good. Knock on wood. Excellent. I don't count chickens before they hatch. It's a stupid old cliché, but it matters. You get the point. Cash looks good, too. The Dems are trying to delay. They're writing ridiculous hit pieces that have not gotten any gravity at all. They're floating into the ether. Cash looks good. The Democrats now are freaking out over cash, too, because they're realizing that the FBI, which is alleged to have leaked some of the CBP raids to get rid of illegal aliens and criminals in the country? If that's true, Cash Patel is going to get to the bottom of it right away. They know that. Here's Democrat Communist Senator A. B. Klobuchar. Notice how they specifically mentioned Cash. They are really worried about losing a politicized the FBI to do their dirty work. Check this out. One of the things that we haven't even talked about is that our Republican colleagues have been acquiescing in all of this.

I know this. I've seen a few of them stand up from time to time. Maybe they'll stand up to cancel There's no concert trials being caught. Watch for it. Maybe they'll stand up to Cash Patel, which they sure better do as this man who has shown no regard for the truth is about to become head of the FBI unless they stand up for it. Notice how they focus so much on cash. It goes back to the golden rule of the show, folks, in the chat. What is it? Get on the case there. Yes. Measure the effectiveness of what you're doing by where the Democrats train their fire. They have been dead set on getting cash out of there because they're afraid that cash is going to make the FBI great again, and they don't want it. Cash doesn't want a political FBI, either does anyone else. The The Democrats do. They want this stuff to continue, too. Folks, the F-O-ing is going to continue. But it's amazing how little the media has picked up on this extinction burst-type behavior against Trump. Did you Can I see this Tennessee preacher, this video? It's not highly disturbing, but this really isn't for kids.

Calling for violence here, or at least appears to be calling for violence. I mean, you can listen to yourself. This is the stuff enough that an FBI calling for violence that wasn't political should be investigating. I want you to listen to this. Check this out. In this nation, I'm worried that we are on the verge of bloodshed. This is an attempt to take us back to a day that we do not want to go, and we will not go. Therefore, there will be conflict. I pray that the peace of God will win out and overcome the madness that is attempting to take over this nation. I will say to you, beloved, no one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary. When Elon Musk forces his way into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your Social Security check, there is a possibility of violence. Sometimes the devil will act so ugly that you have no other choice but to get violent and fight. Can you imagine Father Marty and Holy Redeem. We're talking about that with a Democrat. Oh, my gosh. The Biden FBI, the church will be shut down.

They burn it to the ground. By the way, Elon, listen, you don't have to listen to me, but I would consider legal action against this guy. Elon Musk is threatening to steal your data. Are you sure you can defend that in court? You sure about that? I hate I'm not a litigious guy, but once in a while, you're forced into a corner. What else are you going to do? If I were Elon, I would strongly consider that. Where's the FBI on that? Listen to his own words, man. You don't have to listen to me. Listen to what he said. We're happy to make you famous today or infamous. Now, I haven't done it in a couple of days, but it's important. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot forget the economy. We've got a lot going on, but the bottom line is one of the biggest issues that got Donald Trump elected was Joe Biden's absolute crap management of the economy. Garbage, inflation, and all this other stuff. Folks, government spending is the problem. Hat tip Elon, who put this out. We've been using Milton Friedmann videos for a long time, but I don't have the platform Elon does.

If you don't know who Milton Friedmann is, God rest his soul, you are missing out on one of the greatest economic minds in the last 200 years, and a guy who can articulate economics better than anyone. This is only about 20 seconds. But I want you to keep this in mind as these new CBO reports are coming out about how bad our budget deficit is for the Democrats. Like, we don't need to cut a million here, a million. No, we need to cut trillions. Trillions. Yes, that's how bad it is. Government spending is all that matters. It's all that matters. That is your tax rate. Listen to Friedmann explain it. As I said before, keep your eye on one thing and one thing only, how much government is spending, because that's the true tax. Every budget is balanced. There is no such thing as an unbalanced federal budget. You're paying for it. If you're not paying for it through it in the form of explicit taxes, you're paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or in the form of borrowing. The thing you should keep your eye on is what government spends. The real problem is to hold down government we're ending as a fraction of our income.

If you do that, you can stop worrying about the debt. Folks, Milton Friedmann. We have played clips like this from him hundreds of times. Friedmann says it right. There is no such thing as a debt that's unpaid, government or anything else. Either the debtor or the creditor pays it. I lend Michael money, and he doesn't pay me back. The debt was paid by me. Michael pays it back. He paid the debt. The government borrows money to spend? Where do you think it's getting the money from? It's printing it. Well, what does printing money do? Creates more money, which does what? Creates inflation because more money is chasing the same products, which can charge more money because there's more money. It's not hard. This is easy stuff to figure out. Inflation is high and has been high because the government is spending sending too much money and printing it. Either way, you're paying, Daddy-O. And in case you think we have a taxing problem, let me go to the CBO. For you dips shit Democrats out there, too stupid to figure this Now, the CBO is your government entity, Congressional Budget Office. So if you're telling us government is great, and if the CBO is lying, then government isn't great.

Cbo report came out yesterday. Notice the taxes revenues were up 11 billion dollars. They were 1% higher. Wow. So that must mean the debt went down. No, the debt went up by 317 billion. Wait, so you mean taxes aren't the problem because We're going to keep going higher? We're just spending more? Yes. That sounds like spending is the problem. Yes. But I'm a liberal. You're a moron. Yes. It doesn't matter what we tax. The government just spends more. You understand now why they are freaking out? Why they are freaking out about this? By the way, here's a quick video. The Biden jobs report, the last one from the Biden era that just came out. It covers the last three months of the Biden era. All had to be revised down. Listen to the great Peter St. Onge about just how crappy this Biden economy was. Check this out. Joe Biden's final job report is out, and it's a doosy, a veritable orgy of revisions, kicking off with a massive Bureau of Labor Statistics revision that wiped out 589,000 imaginary jobs the Biden administration had been propping up until the election. Every single month of 2024 was revised down.

Keep in mind, this is not the whole story. The Philly Fed thinks there's another 800,000 fake jobs lurking in the sweet nothings of Biden's finest. Government statisticians. Folks, Guys, however bad you thought the Biden economy was, yes, it's worse. It is worse. The job numbers were faked. The budget deficits were unprecedented. The printing of money was unprecedented. What I'm getting at is, listen to me, please. This is really important. I need you to be patient with President Trump and the economic team. I know it's hard because there's a lot going on. He's doing a lot right now. Forget the chewing gum walking at the same time. He's chewing gum, hitting fastball, shooting free throws, and walking at the same time. I need you to be patient. This mess is not going to be cleaned up in a day. It is going to take some massive cutting of government in the trillions It is going to take reform of entitlement programs no other way. We're going to have to get the fraud out of it, and we're going to have to get grounded in some sound economic accounting principles. Again, we are going to go bankrupt.

They can do it, but it's going to take time. I know. Don't Jasmine Crock, we got to get to that tomorrow, especially now that Jim has the dumbest member of Congress pool up going soon again.
