Transcript of The Trump Administration Can't Start Soon Enough (Ep. 2394)

All right. Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.

We walked in this morning, and there were like cobwebs in the studio. I saw Michael out there.

He had a little broom. He had a little broom? You're getting cobwebs off the door. He had the WD-40 on the hinges. The doors open, they were like... Like the rust on the doors. Dust off keyboards It wasn't even dust. It was like concrete. The dust had hardened so much. They were hitting the keys like this just to get the keys to work. Enter, damn it.

We haven't been off this long in a long time.

Hope you guys understand.

Been a long year. I'm only human. I got health and family to worry about, so I appreciate your understanding. We were definitely off for a bit.

I got a cool weekend update for you. A ton of stuff to talk about. January sixth, I told you it was going to happen with the January sixth bomber, and it happened, and everybody doesn't listen to my show, act surprised. They released a new video. Yeah, new folks, new video.

I love when you do that. I told you it was going to happen.

So much stuff to get to.

I'll tell you where I was and everything went down over New Year's cool stuff.

Hey, the ultimate sleep refresh. For the new year, Beam's dream powder get up to 45% off for a limited time.

Get some sleep. Shop beam. Com/bonjino. Use code 'bonjino' at checkout.

Still a little bit on Spain time, which is actually good because I'm super alert because they're six hours ahead. For me, it's like midday right now. I'm ready to rock and roll, probably a little too wired up with the Blackout Coffee combo. Hey, it's often said freedom isn't free, and it's true.

Freedom has to be defended.

But online freedom, it's not free either.

It, too, has to be defended by a certain technological force.

Encryption. Strong encryption can protect your right to privacy online and defend you from hackers and spying.

How do you get this encryption? With Express ExpressVPN. It's an app, ExpressVPN, that rerout 100% of your online activity to secure encrypted servers.

I use ExpressVPN when I travel, which got bad because the same encrypted connection protects me from hackers that'll try to steal your sensitive data like passwords and credit card details over sketchy public WiFi. Shuts out foreign governments that might try to censor or spy on my activity. Expressvpn open up their service to professional auditors as well as independent security experts to evaluate their claims about privacy policy and their trusted server technology. It never stores user data because it can't store user data.

It's private by design.

All right, fellows, for the first bell of the new year. Gosh, that's a great sound. It is good to be back. Thank you to everyone in the Bongino army for reaching out during the break. For For those interested, I do a weekend update on Monday. I thought about doing it today or not because of everything going on, but we were gone for so long. I just wanted to tell you what was up. We took a trip over to Spain.

We went to Barcelona and Madrid. I took my wife and my daughter, and we went with my friends of Vacanis, the orthodontist, and another friend of mine, another dentist friend of mine. We had a blast. I'll tell you first, I got a couple of pictures. Spain is an absolutely beautiful place.

This is Monserrat, where we were above the clouds there.

If you've never been to Montserrat, there's a monastery there, and it's basically, it looks like a serrated knife edge mountainside. It's in the Catalonia region of Spain. It's incredible. There's, of course, the Vecanic crew, the this, and me and Paula and my daughter. I mean, literally above the clouds. It was pretty cool. We had a blast up there. You scroll through these. That is Pasegdegracias, one of the famous streets in Barcelona. Probably not a good idea to take pictures in the middle of a street with cars coming, but whatever.

I'm Dan Bongino, and I'm always doing things I shouldn't do anyways.

Paula in a pick. This was one of the famous parks in Spain. The park, Gaudi, is one of the famous designers over there. Gaudi Gold Park over there. That was pretty cool. There's the dentist guy, too, in there with us. That's the whole crew.

That's the famous Cathedral, the Sagrada Familia.

Absolutely amazing. I haven't been to the Vatican yet, shamefully, but I got to tell you, this church is pretty fantastic. That was an amazing thing to see. You get close to God, I got to pray there and all. It was cool. He's asked for Jesus's forgiveness there. That was a pretty awesome site.

There's me and Paula.

Paula looking like a smoke show, as always. I really just threw that in there because she looks really hot. I could have taken that picture in my kitchen.

There you go.

Next picture.

There's Paula and me on New Year's Eve partying like freaking eyes wide shut without all the debauchery. However, you see the masks on. We We were probably, I don't know. I don't know, 2:00 in the morning or so. So we were having a grand old time. It was like a Brazilian theme party in the hotel we were staying in, which was pretty awesome because they had that conga dude, but we were banging it up.

I was like, Yes, this is the best party.

You got to party with the Brazilians.

We had fun. There's a there again with the mass on, so you probably can't tell. That was a park in Madrid. It was really cool. They had Egyptian runes there. That was me and Paula. Again, we needed that trip. Me and her, we've been to a lot. Then that was Montserrat again. That's the monastery in the background. I did a couple of pictures for you.

I'd say it was an awesome vacation.

Had a blast, but it was tough to come back after so long because I got sick on the second or last day.

For all the doctors out there, any doctors in the chat, I need your help. Second or last day of the trip, my wife and the family, they're going to Toledo.

We call it Toledo in Ohio. They have a Toledo in Spain. It's a beautiful city.

I get I'm super sick. I wake up, I can't go.

I miss Toledo altogether. I only saw Barcelona, Madrid.

But I wake up in the morning, I feel like I've got the black plague, like I'm going to die.

I'm like, Oh, my gosh, I got to fly home in two days.

I'm going to ruin this trip, get everybody sick. The next day, I woke up feeling absolutely fine. By the way, just for the doctors, no GI symptoms at all. It definitely was not neurovirus or anything stomach-related at all. I wasn't sick that way. I felt like I had the flu. Luckily, I had this travel pack of stuff. I woke I woke up the next day and I felt fine. Is there any such thing as a 24-hour bug that's not GI-related? It's the weirdest thing. I woke up the next day, I felt absolutely fine. I flew home, no issues at all. No fever, no nothing. What the hell? But it ruined one day of the trip, so I missed Toledo. But Coming back, it's so much easier.

The time change. I got back.

I was right on track, pretty much right away.

Once you see her home again.

It was good to see my dog, too. I missed my dog. Lucy was hanging out with the guy, the family we used, but she likes hanging out with her buddy over there. So that was my big weekend update. Hope you were cool with me going through that. We had a good time. I did miss a lot of the news. I thought hard about doing a quick couple of videos about all the stuff going on. I changed my mind because I wanted to make sure I gave it its proper time. Let's get the actual content part of the show started. First, Washington Post story I wanted to get to. The Twinkies case in New York is a freaking disgrace, folks. This Judge, Murchon, is an an embarrassment to humankind. He's an embarrassment to the country. He's an embarrassment to the Cosmos. He's the judge in the fake New York case. He is absolutely committed to having Trump right before his now two week away inauguration discussed only as a convicted felon. Let me be clear about this. It is a fake case with fake charges, with a fake judge, with a fake justice system in the state of New York and the city of New York.

The case is an embarrassment. Of course, the judge has uphold since Trump's felony conviction, wants to sentence him but doesn't plan to order jail time. This is done for one reason, because the media and the left always want to tell you a story, not the story. And a story they want to tell you is the first convicted felon president. That's the only reason. The case is bullshit. It's always been bullshit. You know that. I know that. He's not a convicted felon. He is a victim of the deep state. Those are not the same things, okay? This was a joke of a...

I wanted to mention it first because it's been on my mind all week, how this Judge, Murchan, really, folks, this guy should be under investigation for allowing this trial to go on, for his jury instructions and everything he did to subvert the justice system is disgusting in this country will never be the same after what they did.

Not only that, but I start getting all these emails. It was a bit of a time change.

Again, Spain is six hours ahead.

I start getting all these emails from friends like, damn, you called it I said I did. What happened? What did I do now? Because, Michael, our batting average is? What is it again? The Blackout Coffee time out to celebrate our batting average of, yes, 1,000. I told you that the January sixth bomber case where a pipe bomb was planted at the DNC, where Kamala Harris was on January sixth, and nobody in the media wants to talk about it. I told you Donald Trump won, did I not go back and find the videos yourself, that there were going to be people in the FBI who are trying to protect their jobs, and they're going to start releasing information now about the bomber, which was an inside job, no question in my mind. It was clearly some Democrat operative trying to stop Republicans from questioning the January sixth, 2020, election. I told you, insiders, we're going to start releasing information because they wanted to cozy up to the Trump team, and they were going to say, It's new video. How is it new video? Didn't you guys know when January sixth, 2020 happened?

It's not a true question.

These guys are confused. I'll give you a hint. It was on January sixth, 2020. But that's... But years have gone by. It's January January sixth now. 2025, I mean. That was four years ago. So how is this headline accurate? Abc News. Fbi releases new video, information in the hunt for January sixth pipe bummer. How is it new video? How is it new video? Folks, it's not new video. People in the FBI are trying to save their jobs right now. You got to understand something. Okay, I worked inside the government for a long time. A lot of the people in the upper levels of the FBI, they're making good money, folks. They're making probably $150,000 to $200,000 a year with bonuses, which is good money. That's well above middle class money, well above middle class money, okay?

People are... I'm trying to read the chat a little bit, see what you guys are up to.

This is good money. They don't want to lose their jobs. A lot of these guys and women out there that are working in the FBI, they have no other career potential outside of the FBI because they're going to be stigmatized to their attachment to this case, and a lot of people aren't going to want to touch them. They need to hold on to their jobs. So now you're seeing all of a sudden, oh, new videos surfacing. Look at this. Now, Julie Kelly, who we... You know what, Jim?

We should get her on the show today, by the way, in the radio show.

Julie Kelly put out this tweet, more evidence of doctorate FBI pipe bomb video? Here's the side by side of two different cameras from the D&C security system. Watch the frame rate of these two clips, and you're going to see, we're going to play this on VL, that these are clearly not the same video. Folks, it's maybe the same camera, but it looks like these videos, as Darren Beatty and Julie have been talking about for a long time, were doctored for some reason. This is supposed to be the person who planted the bomb. I'm I'm telling you there is no way they don't know who this person is, folks. What are they hiding? I have a source.

Listen, this is where you keep this running for a minute.

If they've seen this video and the guy's on his cell phone, right? How the hell look? You see, this is not the same video. Why are they hiding it and saying it's new? Because there's no doubt in my mind, they know or have a good idea who this person is. They just don't want you to know who it is, because when you find out it is not a MAGA bomber, but a Democrat or anti-Trump connected person that was trying to create a scandal about an attempted assassination of Kamal Harris, it's going to blow the doors off the media that's been lying to you about this, too. Folks, a source told me a long time ago, stop the tape here and pay very close attention to this. A source told me a long time ago who was there on January sixth working as a federal agent. So don't tell me there were no federal agents in the crowd working because Because he was one of them. He sent me a freaking selfie of him in the crowd on January sixth. He told me they were closing in on who this alleged bomber was, right? And that mysteriously Actually, a couple of days afterwards, they were all told to stand down, do no further investigation on this.

He was there. They were working this thing. There is zero doubt they know who this person is. They just don't want you to know who it is. Folks, these people are all worried right now that we are 14 days away from a new and experienced Trump coming in there with four years of a quality body of experience under his record as a prior President, ready to come in and take every single stone and turn it over. And they know jobs are at stake and reputations are at stake, because I'm telling you, they can't delete everything. There are people on the inside. It may be a small number, but there are assuredly people on the inside who... They may not be good or bad people. I'm not saying either way. They just want to preserve their jobs that probably have thumb drives full of information getting ready to say, Are you going to fire me? Here, what if I help you out? Here's this. That's exactly what's going to happen. Oh, you want to fire me? What if I help you out and I expose Joey Bagga Donuts there at the FBI who was involved in this cover-up?

Here's the thumb drive. That's why you're starting to see things Things like this. This is not a coincidence. Watch this video of Deep State Goon Hack Kami, John Brennan, who called Trump every nasty, disgusting, filthy name in the book. Watch Brenan in a recent interview say, You know what? This transition team, it's not so bad. They're trying to save their reputations. They don't have a lot of time left. Two weeks. Watch this. Now it's taking place in a more serious in professional fashion than happened in 2016, 2017. Because you have people like a Marco Rubio, who has been named to be the next Secretary of State, who is well steeped in these issues and also takes them very seriously. I know that there is engagement between the Biden Department of State and the incoming Trump team.

Folks, do you see what I'm talking about?

We always bring receipts on this show. You knew this January sixth thing was going to happen. You knew that there were going to be people inside the government deep state that attacked Donald Trump, that were all of a sudden going to turn and start to say, Oh, you know what? Trump isn't so bad. He's not Hitler. He's not a Nazi. Because we told you, they're trying to protect their jobs. Don't attribute to the majority of these people, characteristics that overly complicate the narrative.

I said that to you.

There are people who just want their jobs. They don't have any other career potential. They've got bills to pay. They may be deep state hacks, but before they're thinking ideology, they're thinking, How do I pay my con-ed bill to keep the gas on in New York? I've seen it. I've got friends in the transition team who are contacting me, by the way. There are a bunch of people lying to the Trump transition team right now. They know it. They're not being taken by surprise. They're prepared for it. But they are lying. There are FBI folks, DHS folks, Secret Service folks. They are lying to the Trump Transition Team about the status of where they are, what they're doing, reform efforts, all of it. Do not trust the FBI and do not trust the Secret Service either or any of these government entities until there is a full change in management. I'll show you what I mean in a second. Another thing I've been telling you about, the inauguration is coming up. We're two weeks away. Folks, I'm really hesitant to talk about this, but I feel an obligation to put it out there because I don't have any other avenue to do it other than you guys in the Bungino Army.

I don't think the Secret Service is prepared. I think the Secret Service, along with the FBI, are lying to this transition team. This transition team knows it. Unfortunately, there's nothing they can do until they formally take power in two weeks. But when they take power in two weeks, Donald Trump is going to be sitting there exposed at the inauguration. This drone thing has me freaked out. Made a lot of news this week.

When they get to that, too, there is a bunch of stuff. I don't think I forgot about the Sean Ryan. They got so much to get to. Look at this. Two pages full of stuff. Take off a couple of weeks. A lot of stuff builds up. Quick break. We'll get back to that. Hey, we're in crunch time right now. A new administration will be sworn in soon. But as great as that is, it could also mean our enemies have days left to stir up trouble. I could mean a A cyber attack. I didn't even plan this spot. Can you believe that? That can mean a cyber attack, an invasion, a drone strike, or, God forbid, a nuclear strike. Until the long-term bureaucrats are out of DC, I'm not taking any chances. That's why I have an emergency food supply for my Patriot supply, and you should, too. Right now, they're offering $100 off their three-month emergency food kit. The kit contains 2,000 calories per day for three whole months. I have a kit for every member of my family. It's plenty to get you through a prolonged emergency. All My Patriot Supply food kits last up 25 years in storage.

They come in rugged, weatherproof buckets. Go to mypatriotsupply. Com right now and order your three-month emergency food kit and get $100 off. I got an emergency food supply in my house for every member of my family because your safety and security are worth it.

Go to mypatriotsupply.

Com. Go to your three-month emergency food kit now and get $100 off. Once again, that's mypatriotsupply. Com, mypatriotsupply. Com. Go today. Don't wait. Emergency's hit. You don't see them coming. That's why they're emergencies. Check it out today. I tweeted this and it went nuclear. Can anyone look up this tweet, see how many impressions it got? Is it over a million? I just tweeted it out the other day, January fourth. This is what was on my mind. I want you to know I was still on vacation. I didn't get back until the next day.

This is bothering me so much that I felt the need... This was the one substantive tweet I put out in a week and a half or so because it's on my mind, and I am so worried about President Trump's safety, and I'm convinced they got the wrong people in the room.

Is2.3 million.

2.3 million. Okay. So this thing went pretty nuclear. It says, assassination attempts by drones should be on everyone's radar. Everyone's radar. Gary Oldman, the professional style. Everyone on. We're in perilous territory, and liars and frauds in our government aren't being honest about the threat.

A source reached out to me. This is where this is coming from.

Now, I have been covering the drone threat to I established bona fides, so you don't think I'm full of shit. I wrote about the drone threat in my book, The Fight, I wrote 10 years ago.

The threat specific to presidential security.

It's a threat for our military and everywhere else. But it's actually easier to combat the drone threat in a foreign warzone than it is home because you have, let's just say, things to worry about here that are easier to mitigate in a warzone. The drone threat is freaking real. It's not coming, it's here. I have been writing about this forever. And folks, my fear is that we're going to have a Pearl Harbor moment, that we had an idea that the enemy at the time the Japanese were going to attack, and we weren't prepared. The thing about this threat, in contrast to Pearl Harbor, is they've already been Pearl Harbors. Jump ahead to the USA Today thing. You know Nicolas Maduro Maduro, who's an obvious scumbag in Venezuela, but that's besides the point for now. There was already a drone attack on him. There was? Yes, in 2018. Venezuela drone attack. Here's what happened with Nicolas Maduro. You've got an inauguration coming up. So I'll go back to my tweet a second. This drone threat is real, and what's worrying me is that there are people in the government, in the protective entities, the secret Service and elsewhere, that are briefing people on the trend, that are not being honest about how unprepared they are for this threat.

I'm not telling you they're doing nothing. I'm just telling you they don't have a full grasp of the threat, and they don't want to say it. Folks, this is real, man, and this is going to happen. Whether it happens in Times Square or someone else, it is going to happen. And there are people in charge who have wasted They've wasted time on DEI bullshit. They've wasted time targeting Americans with MAGA hats, Moms for Liberty, pro-lifers, targeting the evil white supremacist around every corner. And they have not thought through the threat of a sworn of drones taking out a crowd of people or taking out one of our protectees with an inauguration right around the corner, and Donald Trump not able to do anything about it because he's not in power for two more weeks. You think the Are Secret Service is prepared for this? Washington Post, Carol Lening, who I'm not a huge fan of, to be candid, but her article is not wrong. This has been covered. I want to just show... Susan Crabbtree and others have been talking about this forever.

I've written about it in my book, but she wrote about it, and it's good.

Anyone who can bring attention to it. Washington Post, Years of inaction on the crisis at Secret Service set the stage for a Trump shooting in Butler. It's a long report. It's worth your time. It's in the newsletter today, bongino. Com/newsletter.

If you would like to subscribe, it's free. Please read the article.

It's accurate. It talks about one of the biggest problems in the Secret Service right now. They don't have any experience. An exitus of veteran agents over the past 10 years forced the Secret Service to rely on less experienced agents. Recruits with five years or less in the job made up 13% of the workforce in 2015. This year, they make up 40 %. Folks, listen to me. The Secret Service is like... I don't mean on aptitude, achievement, intellect, anything like that. I just mean on general job logistics. It's like being a surgeon. You simply... Any doctors, any surgeons in here, we got what? 148,000 people, 24 minutes.

That's a nice crowd, by the way, considering it's a Monday.

We've been like, Thank you, Bajito Army. Much love. As always, I would put my hand to my heart, but my elbow don't work.

I heard it in Barcelona getting off a bus, and it's killing me right now, my right elbow.

Any doctors in here? You know better than anyone. Tell me if I'm wrong. There is no replacement if you were a surgeon for experience? None. You can't watch a Rumble YouTube video. You cannot talk about a surgery. You have to do it. Things go wrong in surgeries. My friend is a surgeon, my buddy Steve. Brilliant guy. This guy has been a surgeon for 25 years. He does head and neck plastic stuff. He's seen everything. He's seen deviated septum, so deviated, it doesn't even look like a nose anymore. He's had to fix other surgeons' problems. There's no backup to experience. The Secret Service is the exact same way. Folks, I'm going to tell you something.

I was not I don't want to talk about myself. I'll talk about other people.

Other great agents I saw, great. I mean, you could send them on the most dangerous trip ever, and they'd magically find a way to secure it. They'd secure things no one else could do. They would think of such clever solutions. These guys, 10 years minimum on the job. Minimum. Hundreds of hundreds of site advances, lead advances, total FUBA scenarios they got before they realized to not get in them. The Secret Service doesn't have these people anymore. The people they have don't know much because they haven't done as much. Even the just the news people are warning about this. Carnage from the sky. Experts warn a terror drone threat to US after New Orleans. Folks, it brings us to the latest viral news story. The security threat to the United States is real. The secret service isn't ready. The FBI isn't ready. The FBI is still covering up the January sixth thing. They haven't even thought about security threats in the way they should be to the United States.

When I was gone, this happened.

I'm going to cover them in the order. I think they're both devastating of course, but this one has the most, I think, open questions at this point.

This cyber truck explosion, which was an obvious viral news story for all the wrong reasons, in front of a Trump location in Las Vegas. Here's the incident You've probably seen this a thousand times. Folks, I know a lot of you have been looking for my take on this. If there was ever a Bonvino rule story, this is it. Keep this playing for a minute.

According to a story being told now, and I use those words deliberately because I'm not sure it's the story yet. I'm just telling you a story now. A Green Beret on leave with apparently some mental health issues, parks this cyber truck in front of a You see an explosion, and you'll notice afterwards you'll see, Gosh, those look like fireworks.

That's because they are. Now, I have some real questions about this, folks, and you should, too. The first question is, if this guy is a green beret, which is no indication that that is in fact a lie, and that is the guy in the car. I'm not ready to kneel down and close out this football game on this story at all.

You can accept whatever you want.

I'm I'm waiting until I absolutely have all this stuff confirmed. If it is the guy, and he is a green beret, I know quite a few green berets, one of them very closely, very closely, You're telling me that he couldn't figure out how to put a bomb together and used fireworks?

It was like a fourth of July special instead? It doesn't sound to me. Sounds like he's trying to draw some attention or make some a statement rather than actually engage in any a significant terror attack. But what statement? Now, after this story comes together. And by the way, it is alleged in a story that he shot himself. Another open question. And folks in the chat, this is where you guys... This is another big open question. Number one, why a rig a car to explode that way with fireworks?

Okay.

Second, it's alleged he shot himself with a 50 caliber desert eagle. Folks, a 50 caliber desert eagle? Who the How? Don't shoot yourself, ever. Number one rule of the Dan Bongino show, folks. Don't get dead, especially it's the new year. We got to remind ourselves, don't kill yourselves, okay? Probably a good thing. But people who kill themselves don't shoot themselves with a high-powered, 50 caliber desert eagle. A 22, a 38. It's almost like no one wanted identification records and wanted to make sure teeth and everything else weren't intact so that there was a full... Trying to keep this somewhat not gross this early in the morning. So there wasn't going to be a full accounting of who that person was. Folks, none of this story makes sense. I would strongly, strongly encourage you to throw the penalty flag and apply the Bongino rule. We'll talk about this story, but I'm not drawing any conclusions or believe in a damn thing until I hear from reliable pieces and sources on the inside that that's even the guy. Now, there was a gentleman, Sam as his shoemate, he went on the Sean Ryan Show, an excellent podcast, and basically lit the world on fire with a story about an email that he got that may or may not be from this alleged suspect in this case.

I'm going to get to that in a minute, and I'm going to show you how it ties to the prior story about drones, and you'll see why I did the show in this order.

It's not by accident. The Secret Service story and the drone threat are absolutely related to this. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a second. Last sponsor, we'll get right back to it.

It's about the cyber truck bombing, an email that this person is alleged to have received from the alleged bomber in the case, and it involves UAPs, Unidentified Arial Phenomenon, and drones. I'm going to play it. I'm going to tell you what I think. I want you to be the judge, too. Listen to this.

This email came in on December 31st at 10:42 AM. That is Tuesday. He said, In case I do not make it to my decision point or onto the Mexico border, I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1 January and keep my identity private until then. First off, I'm not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification. What we have been seeing with drones, he puts that in quotes, he says, Drones, is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems-powered aircraft by most recently China and the East Coast, but throughout history, the US. Only we in China have this capability. Our Opsen, that's operations center, our Opsen location for this activity is in the box below. China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force, and they are using it similar to how they use the balloon for SIGINT and ISR, which are also part of the integrated comm system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time.

The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned aircraft. They are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the White House if they wanted. It's checkmate. Us government needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the East Coast.

Folks, I don't know if this email is really from the person who is in that cyber truck or not. I don't know that.

I don't know Sean Ryan personally, but I know people who I know him.

He is an upstanding guy with impeccable credentials. I have no reason to believe he would not have vetted his source. However, there are, again, some allegations out there that the subject in the case, supposed to be in the Tesla truck, his signal account changed after he died, which is nearly impossible to do when you're dead because you're dead.

So it's hard to change your signal account because you're dead. You know what happens when you're dead? Michael, any idea? Holy shit, you die. So muscles and brain tissue and neurons don't work. I have a few questions about this. Number one, is this guy some a patsy? Was this guy a vehicle for someone else to get out a message? Was this guy even the one in the Cybertruck? Who sent that email? I'll assume it's real, but who sent it? Was it sent from this guy? If this guy's email is real and it is from him, did he have the access to this UAP program he says he does? I like to apply Occam's Razor. Keep it simple, stupid in cases like this. Now, I'm going to say one thing and why this email interests me and fascinates me. And again, bona fides matter. I encourage you to listen to my back catalog of shows if you think I'm making any of this up. The The body of what's in that email, I don't know who it came from or how accurate it is. I'm telling you, however, the allegation that China is hovering over our skies and watching us, and they're doing it as a show of force is absolutely true.

I've been I in it for three years because a source I trust, who I know has access to information, for sure, has already told me, and I've been talking about this forever, that China, the balloon and all this, they We don't care if we see it. You're meant to see it. China is telling us, Here's what we can do. Now, is this gravitate propulsion system, or whatever you say, gravetic propulsion system? Is this technology Is the energy real? I don't know. Would I be stunned if it was? No. But there is zero doubt in my mind that China is surveiling sensitive locations in our United States. You can say it's a sci-op all you want. I'm telling you, the people telling this are on the MAGA team. They're not saying every single thing you see in the sky is a Chinese drone. It's not. Some of it's recreational, some of it's mistaken for airplanes, some of it's just aerial phenomenon. People, they see a star, and they can view. That happens. But a huge chunk of this unexplained stuff is absolutely China spying on us. There is zero doubt about that. There ISR capabilities in the United States are not made up.

Some people telling you it's a PSYOP are telling you that because that is in fact the PSYOP to get you to not pay attention to the China threat. I'm not telling you we're going to go in a World War III tomorrow. Anybody needs to panic. Nobody's saying anything like that. I'm just saying you can't trust these people and our government to tell you an honest take because they don't want you to know how behind the ball we are. I'm hoping to get to tomorrow the vault typhoon story, where another story I warned you about. The story about China infiltrating our telecom system and our critical security with computer-based viruses is a real story. China hacked our entire OPM system. I got a letter in the mail. Hey, man, your personnel records were hacked by the Chinese government from your time in the Secret Service. It's real. It happened. Not telling you that we should be ginning up World War III or nuking You know I'm not an interventionist in that sense, but this threat is absolutely real. Now, on this case, a bunch of people reached out to me and said, Dan, but the FBI already confirmed the email about the drones with Sam Schumate was talking about the Sean Ryan show.

That's not what this clip is about. They're talking about this different manifesto, the alleged driver of the cyber truck, alleged, a story so far. They're talking about a different manifesto. This is a short clip, but this is not about the email.

I think a lot of people were confused. Here, check this out.

In terms of the so-called manifesto that's circulating online, we have strong evidence to suggest that it was the subject that wrote it, but we haven't conclusively proven that yet. That evidence relates to other evidence that we're finding that we're able to compare that lead us to believe it was in fact him who sent it. Let me just say again, I don't trust the the FBI as far as I can throw them, okay? Period. Until they established themselves as a premier investigative agency in the United States and operate with integrity at the top, I don't trust anything. However, they're not talking about the email Well, they're talking about a separate manifesto. Okay? I just want to clear that up.

Now, why don't I trust the FBI?

Because the FBI is not trustworthy. You had this horrific attack, another soft Target attack, Bourbon Street in New Orleans, where some freaking lunatic takes his truck, drives it down the street, mows people down. This is a precursor to what's coming with drones, by the way. So don't tell me I didn't warn you. I'm warning everyone. You're going to see this with drones soon. The FBI gives a briefing afterwards from this just pathetic agent after they find all kinds of indicators of terrorism at the scene. Here's what the lady says immediately. They're wondering why the FBI has zero credibility with the American public in the most disgusting, politically correct press conference you're ever going to see. Check this out. Patrick said, We'll be taking over the investigative lead for this event. This is not a terrorist event. What it is right now is their improvised explosive devices that was found. We are working on confirming if it's a viable device or not.

It's not a terrorist event.

Folks, I'm going to play for you the video. Now, just for a second, pretend you haven't seen this video yet. You're in a law enforcement school, and you're playing an investigative game to hone up people's investigative skills. The game is terror attack or not, okay? Pretend you know nothing about this at all. Play this on V.

O, voice over here.

Here you're going to see the car of the terrorist.

You see this white truck.

It's driving down, getting close to Bourbon Street.

You see the white truck moving along, moving along. It's going to make a right soon.

You're going to see a police car now blocking the street, but not blocking it fully. Just blocking it enough, but not enough where the car can't take... Oh, look, a right turn around him speeds down the street and hits the gas down a crowded street that is clearly supposed to be closed off because the police are closing off the street with their lights on and then hits the gas. So you see that. Then you see this going down the street. Oh, look, intentionally looking to hit people down the street. Wait one more time with that one, if you would. Now, you're in school trying to hone your investigative skills. Terror attack or not? With no additional information on. Now, terror attack or not, folks. Yes, terror attack. No, I think this was just a guy with a DWI. He said it right. It looks pretty freaking terrifying. Of course, it's a freaking terror attack. Folks, the FBI is disgraced itself. Again, I promise you, if that truck... Thank you.

Man, this chat's lightened up today.

184,900 people here. What a crowd. Thank you. Coming back on a Monday. Of course, it's a terror attack. And you and I, sadly know that if there were a MAGA flag on the back of that thing, that that same agent would have been out there or some other agent, and likely would have said something completely different. The FBI would have sent out some headquarters What does a person to say, This was a white supremacist MAGA terror attack. If we do not uproot this PCDEI culture, folks, we are not going to have a country because the drone attacks, the soft target attacks, the the firearms attacks, the truck attacks, the car attacks will continue. This is not a new thing. Technology to kill, unfortunately, is getting better, and the technology to keep up is always a step behind, and the people that are supposed to be keeping up with it are 10 steps behind. Here's a perfect example. What is the FBI doing? Here they are at a press conference indicating that the subject in this in this case, had some ISIS-related social media posts months ago. What were you doing, man? Were you investigating Moms for Liberty?

Maybe people protesting in an abortion clinic. What the hell were you guys doing? Are you ever going to stop a terror attack. You just pitched us on this horseshit line that you needed to reauthorize Pfizer to spy on Americans because you needed it to stop these attacks, and you can't stop shit. You can't stop anything. And Then when a terror attack happens that you didn't stop, you say it wasn't a terror attack, and then you tell us how there were signs of a terror attack before. Watch this. Platform, proclaiming his support for ISIS. There were five videos posted on Jibrar's Facebook account, which are timestamped beginning at 1:29 AM and the last at 3:02 AM. In the first video, Jibrar explains he originally planned to harm his family and friends, but was concerned the news headlines would not focus on the, quote, war between the believers and the disbelievers, end quote. Additionally, he stated he had joined ISIS before this summer. He also provided a will and testament. Oh, folks. He was posting about this stuff. So just to be clear, you're being spied on right now and your metadata is being collected from your your computers, your tablets, and everything, although you've done nothing wrong, completely contravening the Constitution and the Fourth Amendment.

By the way, in the Fifth Amendment, your due process rights, everything. And yet a guy actually posting on social media about ISIS manages to mow down and murder people in a terror attack. And then our junk leadership of the FBI pops out in front of the cameras. This is not a terror event. Folks, Cash Patel, please Please cannot get in there soon enough, please. And why are we in this security nightmare? A drone threat we're not prepared for.

Vehicle-based attacks we're not prepared for.

Isis, Al Qaeda, Islamist terror to tax we're not prepared for.

Why?

Because of people like this. Look at the media coverage of the Cybertruck thing. Look at this. Tesla Cybertruck catches fire outside the Trump Hotel. Really? Catches fire? As if it was some freaking mechanical problem? A guy set off a bomb, dumbasses. Yeah, the gas tank, right, in the Tesla. That's a good point, Jess.

It's definitely the gas tank. A lot of you out there like, Isn't there?

Yes, that's the point. One Dead after Tesla Cybershark. Explodes outside Trump. Folks, it didn't just explode. These people are clearly trying to make an example out of Elon Musk and not the actual bad guy. And then this happens after this New Orleans terror attack, which happened at the football game.

Was it the Sugar Bowl down there?

The Allstate CEO. So we've got the media in corporate America that cannot get us out of this DEI, political correctness nightmare that's causing these security problems. And what happened? The Allstate CEO decides to humiliate the entire country, his company, and everyone who knows this guy, I guess because they're a sponsor of the event, and he puts out this statement that airs that sounds like he's blaming us and not the bad guy. Who the hell wants to hear shit like this from this piece of garbage? Check this out. Welcome to the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Wednesday, tragedy struck the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims and their families. We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity. Join Allstate working in local communities all across Trust America, to amplify the positive, increase trust, and accept people's imperfections and differences. Together, we win. Okay, lecture time from Dan Bongino. Everybody sit down, grab a cigar, maybe a brewsky, and listen up. When in doubt, if you are a corporate CEO and people have just been murdered in a terrorist attack, here is a very important rule.

You ready? Write this down. You got a pen? You know what? I'll write it down for you. Here, let me see if you can read this. Folks, this is genius. I spent a lot of time preparing this. Can you guys read this? This is bold. This is like a really profound, a forward lesson.

It says, Shut the fuck up. Just shut up. Nobody Nobody wants to hear from you. Just shut the fuck up. Nobody wants to hear from you, bro. I'm perfect. I'm perfect. I do just ran people down and murdered people's children's dads, mom's, friends, coaches, bosses, employees, friends. They want to hear from you about our imperfections. Shut the fuck up. Nobody gives a shit. You sell insurance. Just shut up. Shut up. Shut the fuck up. You sell insurance. Just shut up. Just sell insurance. Shut the fuck up. Go and sell insurance. Shut your mouth. Your freaking soup cooler. Your gum holster. You're oxygen, CO₂ ventilator. Keith, that may be the funniest thing you ever said. Keith just just Folks, if you missed it, this is why in a new studio, these guys are going to have mics. He said he's actually so glad that this guy comment because people really love insurance CEOs these days, too. They're at the top. It's like you're a priest, your rabbi, and definitely insurance CEOs, 100 %. Shut the fuck up. Nobody wants to hear it. Who told this circlehead that America needed an emancipation proclamation from him after a terror attack.

You're not in good hands with Allstate. You're just...

That was a great point.

That That's it. When a terror attack happens in the United States, the first thing I think is, I really need to hear from an insurance CEO. That's definitely what I need to hear from.

During a football game.

During a football game about my imperfections. You know what her imperfections are? That we didn't How did you get this guy locked up and potentially given a death penalty before he killed us.

Oh, man, I'm so tired to listen to this crap. Let me put you in a good mood, though, because I don't want to leave it. I'll talk I got a bunch of stuff. I didn't even get to all this other stuff. A lot of good stuff happened. You notice parallel economy is exploding, right? It's everything from Truce Social to DJT to Rumbel. I don't know if you guys missed it, but Rumbel had an amazing week. The crypto-based company Tether and Rumbel, they invested 775 million into the company, 250 million, which is going to go into Rumbel coffers in order to grow and expand everything we're doing.

I did for you guys. So if you want to check that out. Here, I want to end on a good note. Folks, you know how much we love Jessica Tarloff on our show.

Ladies and gentlemen, we gave her an official title. Jessica Tarloff is Queen of the Karens, if there was ever. I didn't even realize you guys recorded that.

I usually leave that for producer Jim, but it's very good.

I love the voice.

That actually sounds like producer Jim. Queen of the Karens gets wrecked again by Judge Jeanine. We're in this security nightmare because of an open border. Jessica Tarloff, apparently doesn't get it here. Check this out.

Well, we actually have a huge change in the amount of people that are getting into this country and the number of deportations. We now have the lowest number of border crossings that we've had in four years going back to- Yeah, but they're flying them in. Why cross the border if you get a free flight? It's not true. We've removed 700,000. What's not true? That they're just flying them in without- Yeah, they are. The CDP. Without background checks. Wait a minute. You think they're flying them in and they do background checks on them? Yes, I do think that you got a background check. From where? From Chile, from Venezuela, from Haiti? When you look at what's going on with Mexico and Central America and the amount of cooperation that's been going on right now with the ex-segative- Are you telling me that Haiti, Guatemala, Venezuela are giving us background checks?

I have been telling you this forever. I've been overseas on foreign advances many times.

Folks, they do not have a background check system in an overwhelming majority of these countries like we have in the United States. You really believe they have an NCIC system in a lot of these countries that are sending some of their people here?

Are you crazy? Background check. Yet she actually believes this is hilariously stupid. By the way, more breaking news. The winning continues. Justin Trudeau, Communist disgrace out of Canada.
