Transcript of Trump Isn’t Backing Down And The RINOs Are Big Mad (Ep. 2384)

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

So let me let you in on, a dirty little secret about politicians who are generally some of the worst people among us. I say generally because I hate to overgeneralize like liberals do. But if I were a betting man and I had a gun to my head and they said, listen, man. You better make a decision on this. Politicians suck or don't suck.

I'd have to say suck, and I'd probably be right, and I may live because I don't wanna get dead. That's the number 1 rule of the show. And as we know as well, cutesy time is way over. So we're not gonna, you know, we're not gonna, sugarcoat any of this. Some of these guys are just really, really and women are really bad people.

And I think we're seeing it right now with the Pete Hegseth thing, what's happening. This is a bigger story than Pete Hegseth. The if you're if you've been out of the loop for a while, the nominee by Donald Trump to be the defense secretary. And the sabotage is coming from inside our own tent in the Republican party, notably from Joni Ernst. I'm gonna let you know the secret.

You follow me on x and true social, you're ready to know it. They absolutely hate you, most politicians. And they definitely hate social media. But why? But why kids?

Why do they hate social media? They hate social media because they've been doing this stuff for a 100 years now, screwing over the people who vote them in. But there was almost no way for you to fight back. I mean, what were you gonna do? Call into Walter Cronkite?

He didn't cover it. It didn't happen on the evening news. Now you got me, insurrection Barbie, cat turd. You got Sarah. You got a bunch of people out there with big followings on Twitter who could say, look at his shit.

And all of a sudden, the heat comes on. You know, wrestling, WWE with the heat? Just watching the thing about Vince McMahon, how people couldn't stand a mister McMahon character because he brought the heat. Well, you bring the heat too, and they hate it. Big show for you today on Monday.

Hit that bell. I needed to hear that. Thank you for tuning in to my Friday's producer's picks. You guys are the best. You guys are loyal to the content no matter what.

I so deeply appreciate it, man. Guy, the bungee, no army. You guys are awesome out there. So quick weekend update. I went out Thursday night.

It's birthday week. Today's the this week, excuse me, is the big party, though. The big 50th birthday party gonna be the bash to end all bashes. So if you miss next Monday, 7 days from now's update, you may miss the the mother load of all weekend updates. I will have witnesses on the production team who figured out a little secret today, which I'm freaking annoyed.

Justin's gotta go being like a freaking MacGyver over there figuring stuff out, but the party's gonna be bananas. When I play a little blackjack, thank you, Hard Rock, Fort Lauderdale. You guys are awesome. It's always such a great place. The it's right.

And I had a really blackjack. I was getting crushed all night. Of course, Paula wins because she never loses. It's the most amazing thing. The odds of gambling.

Like, what what's blackjack? Like, 49.9%. Not Paula. It's a 100%. She never loses.

I'm losing, like, the whole night. I leave at the end of the night. So what do I do? I do what I always do. I just start throwing in big chunks of change, and I win it all back and then some.

This happens every time. Paula disappeared for, like, an hour. She didn't like the wine offering, so she went to a different bar, grabbed some different wine. She gone for, like, an hour. It just took her a while.

The minute she leaves, I'm losing. She comes back. I start crushing it again. It's weird. Is it some feng shui stuff?

I have no idea. But if we're living in the simulation, Paul has hacked the code. So good for you. Folks, they hate social media. Okay?

Politicians hate it that you can stay on top of them and tell the world what they're doing. Joni Ernst, the senator from Iowa, who is really I've who is it? Was it Benny Johnson or something? I think it was Benny who said this weekend, and I true words have never been spoken, that he's never seen a politician completely atomize their entire career in 7 days like Joni Ernst. Joni Ernst has always been a squishy Republican, ironically, out of Iowa where Trump won by, like, 7,000 points.

Right? Remember that poll? Trump's gonna lose Iowa by 13. Didn't happen. I think he won by what?

7. So this is pretty much like a landslide in today's electoral politics. Joni Ernst is in a MAGA state. Make no mistake. And she has decided for some reason to nuclear explode her entire freaking career because she's got a bug up her ass for Pete Eggseth who is universally loved in the MAGA audience because he gets it.

He doesn't want wokism in the military. He wants to focus on lethality, and he wants to ask the question that previous leaders of the Pentagon have not asked in the past when it came to every single foreign war. The question's what, folks? Folks in the chat, why? Why are we doing this?

They don't want that. The defense industry lobbyists, I'm not knocking them. I'm just saying this is what they do. They want us overseas everywhere. I don't wanna be overseas everywhere.

I don't want our kids coming back in body bags for shit we don't understand and can't figure out. This chaos in the Middle East this weekend is a perfect example. So Syria, everybody's celebrating. Bashar al Assad, who is a tier 1 scumbag. No doubt.

The problem we don't understand is which asshole is a bigger asshole? Bashar Al Assad or the terrorist scumbags who have taken over Syria? So the reason I don't wanna send our own people over there getting killed in these people and these wars to pick a better asshole is because we typically don't know who the better asshole is. Trump gets it. Here's Trump of a fox.

He responds after rebels overtake Syria, ousting long time dictator. He's like Assad has gone. He's fled his country. But in another post later on, he says, listen. This isn't our fight.

Now you wanna send some guys over there, secure some chemical weapons, blow them up so they don't wind up in Times Square? Fine. Getting involved in supporting, you know, the CIA cutouts overseas to get another asshole in there as Mike Ben says to push some woke agenda in Syria. Folks, this stuff never works out. Who the hell is in charge of our government right now?

Is anybody asking these questions? Joe Biden, folks, is completely checked out. Did you see playbook this morning? Political playbook, you know, what's playbook? Folks in the chat, you know it.

Playbook is the Bible of the left. It is the political Bible of left. They read it every morning, and they all repeat the talking points every single day. Right? Playbook this morning is reporting that Democrats are increasingly frustrated because Joe Biden has completely tapped out and and has apparently seeded the presidency at this point to Donald Trump, which make no mistake, I'm a Trump supporter, is a really good thing for us.

However, if something happens folks, let's be straight. Donald Trump has no executive powers. He has political power. In other words, he can move the political winds by saying something. Right?

We all get that. But he has no executive power at all. He he doesn't. That's just a fact. The Joe Biden sadly is still sitting in the White House.

So as an American citizen, you should be like, hey, man. We still stuck with this guy for another month. What if something really bad happens? Who the hell is in charge? Again, I think it's a good oh, look at it.

Pulled it up. Thank you. I didn't even put that in the rundown. But but here's a quote. By this is from Democrats, by the way, not from me.

This is not a damn Bongino quote. Joe Biden has effectively disappeared from the radar in the wake of the Democrats' bruising electoral laws. He's gone. He's gone. I am a Trump supporter.

I don't want Joe Biden doing anything. However, I at least want a president, folks, who appears to be mentally there in case, God forbid, there's a huge emergency. This guy's completely tapped out. Who's in charge right now? Well, I gotta tell you.

If if you were an alien from outer space watching from a distance what's going on on planet Earth, This is France. I've been there a a couple times, actually. I did a a secret service mission over there. I've been exactly in that spot. It was the transportation guy.

So doing a motorcade. And, oh, look. Joe Biden getting out of the car. That's not Joe Biden. That's who is that, guys?

I can't really see well. So you say, that oh, Joe. That's Trump. That's Trump. Then we could see the hair.

We could see the hair. That is Donald Trump with the handshake. I love the handshake. The alpha handshake dominates the handshake every time. Poor McCrone's got a cast on today.

It's Donald Trump walking up the stairs, at the, the palace there. Check him out to pose him for pictures. Folks, who's the president right now? Who's the president? Here's Donald Trump greeting our marines because he's a patriot.

He always make sure, tell our servicemen and women, we love you. Look at these guys, man. Check it out. This is how it's done. The who who's the commander in chief right now?

Who is in charge of the country? Who is in charge? Folks, listen. There's change coming, and there's a lot of people really freaked out about it. That's why the Dems are panicking about Biden's seeding any political power because they understand 1 thing.

Executive power right now lies with Joe Biden. Correct? He's sitting in the Oval Office where not. Political power lies where? The answer is Donald j Trump.

The verdict is in. Donald Trump is dictating international politics, period. And that's why the Democrats are pissed. But who else is pissed? The old guard, swampy Republicans who've had 1,000,000 of dollars of defense industry money thrown at them.

This they don't wanna give it up. They wanna fight in every single foreign war. You see John Bolton, captain Mustache is all pissed off this weekend that Tulsi Gabbard's up on Capitol Hill, who is the DNI nominee. Joni Ernst, the Republican center from Iowa, is still trying to sabotage Pete Hegseth. They're meeting at 2 o'clock today when I'm on the radio.

So if she does not come out today and pledge her support for Pete Hegseth after the 2 o'clock EST meeting, folks, I'm telling you, there's gonna be political, political, political, political hell to pay. Everybody understand that? Be respect Stewart thank you. Michael Smart. Stewart Thompson, the New York Times.

Because these these SOB losers are always mischaracterizing what I'm saying. Be respectful when you reach out to them. I I don't need to lecture anyone. You're all adults. However, they're dying to pigeonhole you into the leftist model of political violence, and we're not gonna do it.

Joni Ernst needs to politically suffer for the politically. It's no money, no more donors, no more volunteers, no more anything. And I'm telling you, let her know we will never forget because we didn't. We still have a list of congresspeople who did not support Jim Jordan when he was running for office and screwed us up when he was excuse me. When he was in the speaker's bid.

We're never gonna forget it. You can pretend we're gonna forget it, but we're not. And we're the largest digital livestream. So you get on our bad side at your own peril. I don't need anything from you, Joni Joni Ernst.

You need it from us. You need our support. You volunteered your name to run for office. Correct? Now you're screwing over our people.

She puts out this bullshit tweet December 6th. Pete Hanks, Seth, and I will continue our constructive conversations as we move forward together in the process. We plan to meet again next week. That's today. At a minimum, we agreed deserves the opportunity to lay out his vision for our war fighters at a fair hearing.

Yeah. You're damn right. And we better see an upvote from you at this fair hearing. I'm telling you right now, we are taking political names in this, and we are not gonna forget. They don't want Pete because they don't want the old guard, and they don't want questions being asked, folks.

That's why. They wanna go bomb every country on earth, send your young men and women over to every country where there's a conflict because there's cash in it. Just follow the money. You don't think it's odd that this symbiotic venom like creature, media people, lobbyists, defense industry lobbyists, this this military complex that's never asked questions, Left wing goons and commies all hate Pete Hegseth. Folks, it's not about Pete.

It's about the old guard getting tossed out, and they're still not ready for what's coming. If we fold on this, we're gonna lose everything. Here's a tweet by Politico. Now apparently, Pete's a problem because he's a Christian? Trump's pick to run the Pentagon has embraced an aggressive form of Christianity.

What's an aggressive form of Christianity? I I'm a I'm a Christian. I go to church. Michael, I've seen you in church. Is there an aggressive church?

Is there an aggressive did I miss something? I'm last time I went to church, it's the same Bible. It's not like the if you is there the aggressive Bible and the non aggressive? Because I must have missed that. I don't know where that I must have missed that.

Violently forgiving

your enemies. Yes. Yes. Justin said it right. Not only forgiving your enemies, violently aggressively forgiving your enemies.

That's a violent form of Christianity. Jesus on the cross that with the thief next to him. I'll see you in heaven. Hey, I don't know, man. That sounds really horrible.

This is what political thinks of you. This is all a freaking scam, folks. Here's NBC trying to sabotage Tulsi Gabbard along with captain must ask John Bolton. I thought they told us John Bolton was the antichrist. Remember when they told us that John Bolton was a was a Nazi, was a fascist, a warmonger?

Just like Kamala Harris who jumped right in bed with the Cheney's, here's NBC attacking, taking the same position as John Bolton. A 100 former national security officials, alarmed at Tulsi Gabbard leading the intel community. Really? I wonder if any 1 of those are the 51 intelligence officials who signed that ridiculous Hunter Biden laptop letter. Any of the same names?

There's some crossover over there, some cross pollination? I'll bet there is. Folks, these people are screwing you over and they don't want you asking questions. Here's this, congressman, Mike Quigley. Watch this douche.

Trump's cabinet picks are deeply unserious people. We need experts running this government, not sycophants. Okay. So I pulled some clips for you, Mike Quigley, who is again 1 of these inside swamp toolbox losers. Go total life loser with no human dignity at all.

He wants experts because experts have really nailed it. I mean, they got the Afghanistan. No. They got the they got the COVID. COVID.

Yeah. The meh. Definitely the shot The account? The in public's shit, man. We're running out of stump.

Definitely No. No. At least know there's

2 genders.

What's that? So then at least know there's 2 genders. That's a good point. They at least figured out the basics of biology. There's 2 Oh.

Shit. The experts, folks, we definitely need more experts. Justin found someone, though. He's like, at least this guy got it right. This guy's an expert.

He even looks like when he looks like the who's the guy, folks in the chat? Who's the guy from the Simpsons, mister, the the get the boss? Big mister Burns. This guy looks like mister Burns. Here is Jake Sullivan.

This guy is a quote expert. Super smart, folks. This is a definitely, this is a this guy's a genius. He is Biden's national security adviser. Here is Jake Sullivan who absolutely nails it.

They predicted totally that the Middle East was gonna blow up a few years ago, and they were gonna have to pay a lot of attention to what was going on. Thank god for experts. Here's that clip right here.

The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in 2 decades. Now challenges remain. Iran's nuclear weapons program, the decades. Now challenges remain. Iran's nuclear weapons program, the tensions between Israelis and Palestinians.

But the amount of time that I have to spend on crisis and conflict in the Middle East today compared to any of my predecessors going back to 911 is significantly reduced.

Come on, guys. Get your shit together. That's not the clip. I'm talking about the clip where he called it. October 7th, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Gaza, Egypt, all that.

So that's that's that's that's that's that's that is the clip. That's the only 1 you could this is the only 1 you could find. At Jake Sullivan, you really thank you, Mike. Put up Mike Quigley again. Mike, you were so right.

We definitely need more, quote, experts running this government. I mean, an Ivy League grad with 2 bronze stars in combat experience. I mean, who wants a guy like that running defense? We definitely want, Darth Vader with the COVID mask, Lloyd Austin, who Biden calls the black guy, or or definitely mister Burns. But I'd actually rather mister Burns than Jake Sullivan.

Damn. Mister Burns is no. There's a voice for mister Burns. But do they not look the same? Do they not look Jake, mister Burns, do they not look the same?

It's the same guy. Have you ever here, question. Have you ever seen mister Burns and Jake Sullivan in the same room? You have none. So you can't prove they're not the same person.

This is the tyranny, the tyranny of quote experts. Folks, I'm gonna show you a clip of Trump coming up in a minute. A guy, undoubtedly, Mike Quigley would define as not an expert. Define him as a cretin, a Neanderthal, a moron. He's really stupid.

Really? Then if we're so stupid, how is it that, we keep beating you the expert class on everything? And I'm gonna explain to you why just quickly. Folks, I've always used the example of a baseball card. Friedrich, Kayak, and others have talked about the tyranny of experts for a long time.

I'll get to that in a second. You guys yeah. I'll get to it in a second. I'm gonna show you this example of a baseball card and you understand what I mean. Hey.

And if you hate this, just tell me in the chat, s t f u, we hate it. It sounds stupid. Okay? This is why experts like Jake Sullivan suck, and really should diffuse responsibility to other people. Did you ever notice how you go on and you watch these fantasy football shows and other things?

These guys, all they do all day is study football to be honest. That's all they do. They go in locker rooms. They talk to people. They study books, stats.

And did you ever notice that the weekend shows when they make predictions that they're no better than just the average Joe? Did you ever notice that? I'll give you another example. I was just reading a report the other day. Billionaire hedge funds people.

Right? Experts. Right? Just like the NFL analyst and the college football analyst. Right?

Their money's on the line. $1,000,000,000 hedge funds that make 1,000,000,000 of dollars, $1,000,000,000 hedge funds, off of beating the market that they still can't beat regular exchange traded ETFs where just the crowd buys in. How is that? How is it that experts can never seem to figure shit out? The answer is because expertise is an illusion.

Okay? It's an illusion. Nobody can predict the future. And the mistake of experts is they're typically cockier than you and believe they can, so they make dumb decisions like Jake Sullivan. You can have the greatest neurosurgeon in the world folks.

There is a damn good chance he has no idea how to change your oil. Why? He's really smart. He's an expert. Because he's never changed oil, and he has no idea.

You ask a 1,000 people, baseball experts, to price a baseball card in 10 years, I guarantee you they're no better than the crowd. Because they don't know shit. A baseball guy could fall into a drug habit tomorrow. They are never experts are always it's the fatal conceit. It's the conceit of knowledge.

I'm not telling you knowledge is a bad thing. I'm just telling you that these people screw shit up constantly. And when you're a person like Pete Hegseth, who knows the limits of your own knowledge and doesn't try to change your role, he's not gonna break your car. Okay. You hated that.

I get the point. I'm just it's really important you understand it, or you're never gonna understand why a guy like Donald Trump continues to beat the experts. You saw Jake Sullivan. Right? The Middle East is so quiet.

This is right before the Middle East blew up. Here's Donald Trump in a weekend interview talking about what he did with NATO. Donald Trump doesn't pretend he doesn't know anything. Everybody's telling him Donald, mister president. NATO's so valuable.

It's done x and y and z and all this stuff. Donald Trump doesn't care. Donald Trump looks at the spreadsheet and goes, why are we paying over 2% of our GDP? The NATO agreement is they're supposed to pay over 2% of their GDP to defend themselves, and we're defending them, and they don't wanna pay up. He doesn't care about this other shit.

He doesn't wanna change your oil because he knows he'll break your car. He just wants to know who out there can change oil because he needs an oil change. Here's Donald Trump on NATO. Donald Trump, the nonexpert who actually got the NATO problem right. Check this out.

NATO's taken advantage of us because we would got look, 2 things. Number 1, they take advantage of us on trade, meaning the European nations. Okay? Like terrible. They don't take our cars.

They don't take our food product, they don't take anything. They think it's a disgrace. And on top of that, we defend them. So it's a double whammy. So let me just tell you, I was able to get 100 of 1,000,000,000 of dollars put into NATO just by a tough attitude.

I said to the countries, I'm not going to protect you unless you pay. And they started paying. And that amounted to more than $600,000,000,000 That's a big thing. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be fighting. They wouldn't have any money to fight.

If they're paying their bills and if I think they're doing a fair if they're treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely. I'd stay with NATO.

Folks, you understand the difference by the way, do I do we have a hiccup with with, with Rumble? We tell us in the chat. Was there a little with Rumble before in the reload? I just wanna check. You guys in the chat are invaluable for instant feedback.

I just wanna let Rumble know if they were. That's the only reason. Because our counter is a little low today. We're typically way, way, especially on a Monday with a show like this. Folks, I hope I explained that well before.

This is the difference between Donald Trump and the expert class. He doesn't care about your historically wrong opinions because you have an Ivy League degree, and you say, well, NATO is valuable. He asked a simple question. It's the same question Pete's gonna ask about why we should go and intervene in Syria and elsewhere. What's the question again?

Why? Why? Okay. That wasn't an issue. Okay.

Thank you. Now I know why. Why? Why are we doing Donald Trump is saying, why the hell are we paying for the world's defense if the world doesn't wanna pay for its own defense? Nobody else is asking that question.

Here here are so called experts. Right? The media wants you to believe they're experts. That's what they tell you. Right?

We're gonna give you the facts. We're experts. We're gonna analyze it and trust our opinion. Here is the scumbag Washington Post, 1 of the shittiest outlets in the media. The most biased disgusting stuff you're ever gonna read.

So, of course, they're trying to attack Pete Heggs, Seth again. They're the experts. So John Hassan, points us out. This is great. He says, when Joe Biden awarded the bronze star to an intelligence analyst, the Washington Post called the bronze star, quote, 1 of the army's most prestigious awards.

But when Pete Hegseth earns 2 of them, the Washington Post says, actually, Bronze Star, they're pretty common. It's just different for some people you know. It's here. You could see it yourself. Here.

Here's Joe Biden. They give 1 of their own. They give 1 of the well, they give not 1 of them. 1 of our own. I I don't know the case there.

Just wanna be clear. When you when the Washington Post thinks it's a Biden award on someone who's very heroic or but it's a prestigious award. And then you flip over to Pete, totally different. It's pretty common. People hand them out all the time.

Folks, these people are full of shit. They are the enemies of truth. Stewart, I know you're watching again. Stewart Thompson from the New York Times who marvels at the fact that we spend so much time condemning left wing bullshit. The reason it's important is because people like Stewart, the New York Times, and the Washington Post are freaking liars.

And we pointed out every single time, and they just can't accept that what we're saying is true. Take the sandwich we gave you and eat it. It's your own words from your own left wingers. I want you to watch this. This is, this is what I'm talking about by how the left has completely gaslit America and got them to believe things with their media little surrogate bullhorn people.

This is how they've gotten America to believe things that just aren't true. That the experts should dictate the economy, national security policy, all this stuff. When the experts continually get stuff wrong, I want you to watch your CNN segment. It's a Scott Jennings segment on CNN, but I think it's Abby Phillips. She seems genuinely stunned that Kash Patel is going to go out and call out corruption in the FBI despite the corruption being documented.

Everybody knows the FBI made up the collusion hoax in conjunction with the Hillary Clinton campaign. Everyone with a functioning brain. You don't have to be an expert. Everybody knows the FBI was spying on American citizens. They admitted to it.

Everybody knows what the FBI scandal with the MAGA hats, the moms for liberty, the pro lifers. And here's CNN acting just completely stunned that, you know, you guys only believe FBI. FBI is corrupt because people talk about FBI corruption. What kind of stupid ass logic is that? Watch this.

We'll just point out 2 things. 1, politically, Patel, to me right now has a lot of support in the senate. I think a lot of these nominees, you know, some are in trouble. I don't think he is right now. I mean, he's gonna obviously have to go to the table and answer questions just like everybody else, but there is enthusiasm for him.

10 years ago, the FBI had a 59% approval rating. Today, it's like 41%.

Folks, you cut that off too soon. They're stunned. You gotta get the Abby Phillips response to there. Jim, cut that for the radio. The Abby Phillips response I may have sent the wrong time.

There is a she's like, oh my gosh. This is just like election denying. You guys are suggesting that the FBI is corrupt, so the public believes the FBI is corrupt. No. The public believes the FBI is corrupt because of how I opened up the show.

Because you, people with influence and followings on social media, have shown everyone that the FBI and the upper levels of it is in fact corrupt. I'm really sorry you and the media can't take it. I mean, you're supposed to be on the side of facts. Let me play this 1 more before the break. I wanna play this 1 too because it's important.

The Rachel Maddow 1. To show you how left wingers are full of shit. We don't have this problem. You tell me national debt, the national debt's an issue. I tell you I agree.

But Republicans do it too. I don't care. It's still wrong. The left has no ability to do this at all. Here's a side by side hat tip the great maze more of Rachel Maddow.

1 of the biggest bullshitter liar frauds. She's a road scholar, folks. She's an expert. She's a dumbass, and a liar, and a phony, and a fraud. Here she is on her show talking about Donald Trump potentially pardoning people in his family.

And she's like apoplectic about how horrible it is. So much so she's like, ready to cry, she needs to go to a break. And then you're gonna hear after that, Rachel Maddow feeling slightly differently about Joe Biden actually pardoning his own son for crimes I believe Joe Biden was involved in. Watch this.

President Trump, as he winds down his last few weeks in office, is considering preemptive pardons for all his adult adult children, including his son-in-law Jared. What a mess. More as we know it. Cue all the hand wringing and gnashing of teeth today about a president using his power, his pardon power. His powers as president to do something for a family member.

Tell me more about how outraged we all are about president Biden's pardon for his son.

You know, folks, you would think these people would seriously have some shred of human dignity and integrity. She doesn't care. She doesn't care that she looks like an asshole. It doesn't matter. No.

She legit doesn't care. She's a commie. They abuse power. They are into they're into hierarchy, and they don't care about hypocrisy. We're in charge.

You're not. We're gonna abuse power. And when you're in charge, we're gonna attack you to abuse power. I just want you to know these people are disgusting, and this is why Stewart and these other people out there are so intimidated that this is the number 1 livestream in the world right now for politics, and they're not. Because they can't continue to lie to you because they're not a source of information anymore.

I got another 1 coming up. Karine Jean Pierre totally nailed on the pardon thing. You told us over and over conclusively, there will be no pardon, period. I've already addressed it. Done.

It's never gonna happen. Now what happened? What's your response? Like, nothing happened. Hierarchy.

Commies believe in hierarchy. They don't care about looking like hypocrites at all. Folks, the world's on edge right now. We gotta train. The media is stoking all kinds of animosity.

We appreciate it. Here, watch this. This is more additional proof that you need to understand your political opponents. The show is edutainment. Right?

Had to boogie down production. Educational entertainment. You don't understand their tactics. That hierarchy matters to them. That the only way to beat the left is to take them off the political power pedestal.

That's it. They don't care about being exposed. The reason we expose the hypocrisy is for the third party listening, the independence who are coming over to our side. It's not for them. The commies can only be defeated by removing them from power, period.

Karim Jean Pierre is a perfect example right here. Ed O'Keefe, who's a left leaning guy, I have no doubt. But he asked a pretty simple question. Hey, man. Basically, why'd you lie to us about the Hunter Biden thing?

I just want you to watch the spin, and I want you to see here. See if you sense a second of embarrassment at all because I don't. Check this out.

When you're standing there at the lectern, you are white house press secretary speaking on behalf of the president, conveying his thoughts and views of the administration. And it's for that reason that you said on his behalf all those times that he had no plans to do what he did on Sunday. Has he expressed any regret to you directly, personally, for having put you in this position and now having to go back?

Look, I understand this question, and you started off I think the way you started off the question is basically how I feel. Right? And I think all of us who work in this administration. I work for the president. I speak for the president.

I, I comment on behalf of what he feels and thinks and that's my job. That's my job as the press secretary, the White House press secretary, the person who speaks on behalf of the president of the United States, and that's how I feel.

Folks, there's not a shred of embarrassment there at all. Hey. We have breaking news. This is a live podcast as you know. 11:36, eastern time.

Folks, this is huge. So Daniel Penny, the, subway hero, not guilty. Excellent. Folks, this is a victory for justice. Luckily, I had a segment prepared.

I did not think we were gonna oh, you guys are getting ready. Is he I thought you were getting ready to put, like, the, fire thing going behind this or something like that. This is a huge moment. Now the left wing media will go crazy. Why?

Does anybody know why the left wing media will go crazy? Because the left wing media wants to stoke animosity and racial division and doesn't give a shit if violence breaks out at all because they like to use violence to stoke animosity, to build political capital, to get power so that you can be on top in their hierarchy. Alex Berenson pointed this out this weekend. Here's the New Yorker, a communist shithole rag referring to the Daniel Penney case. That, the, it happened they they subway dancer was strangled by the ex marine subway dancer as if he was out there, you know, doing some kind of flamenco dance or whatever.

Folks, the facts are clear. He was threatening people on the actual train. Did you actually pay attention to the case? Now there are people out there who are gonna stoke violence left and right. Folks, I'm warning you right now.

Be very careful. There are people out there who wanna stoke violence or at a minimum stoke animosity in division. 1 of these division agents is this guy who is 1 of the biggest grifter losers I've ever seen. This guy Hawk, he was an old BLM activist. These people do nothing but stoke division.

They wanna make this a racial thing. It has nothing to do with race. If you don't threaten people's lives on the subway, they won't have to defend themselves against you threatening their lives. This isn't really hard. Hat tip, lives at TikTok.

I pulled this off her account. Here is this guy, Hawk. You probably seen him before. I'm very familiar with him. I'll show you why in a minute.

But here's this guy outside of the courtroom last week. Notice the division. This is all they do. They grift off division. Watch this.

Racism is still alive and kicking in America. There's no other way

to view

this. Everyone has looked at the case, and those among you who say that Daniel Penney is innocent have racism and bias in your heart. If you look at the facts of this case, then you understand that Daniel Penney is guilty. But today, white supremacy got another victory. Today, the KKK, the Klansman, the evil in America got another victory.

So, Hawk, I remember you well. I just want you to want you to listen to me here. Okay? You're disgusting, Phil. You can go fuck yourself.

You're a and a chump and a coward. And, yes, I'm calling you that to your face because I know you're a chump and a coward. Because I know people who know you, and I know you're a chump and a loser and and a coward. Me, I'm calling you that right to your face, because that's who you are. Matter of fact, you're such a chump and a coward.

Out of the kindness in my soul, I invited you on my Fox News show once unfiltered to explain you being a a an agent of hate and division and animosity, and then kinda like starting a fire and running away with it and being such a chump and a coward, because you are. You're a chump and a loser. That's who you are. That's who you've always been. I invited him on my show, and he was such a wuss and a loser and a 0.

I asked him a simple question on my show. I said, hey, Hawk. This is about 2, 3 years ago. I said, man, you know, you condemn street violence. Will you just say that violence is wrong, that you can object to this verdict?

I mean, it's a constitutional republic. You don't like the verdict? Fine. But I said to him back then, do you object to street violence? I want you to watch his answer as this wuss, punk, loser, 0, walks off the set because he couldn't answer the question because he's also a moron.

Check this out. Do you condemn riots and burning down buildings after a police use of force incident you don't like?

No. I I can I what I'll say is I understand when a police officer unjustifiably kills someone, why people lash out? I understand that completely.

I didn't ask why why can't

you answer the question. To I'm not going to condemn You can't answer the question. Going to condone it. Now now see, here's the thing. When Osama bin Laden when Osama bin Laden and those terrorists

can donate a token.

United States of America. Can you let me talk? You have a show, you

talk as

much as

you want. Talk a lot of junk. And then when I put you on the spot, you won't answer a damn question. Do you condone the question. I'm answering the question.

Plays. Just canceling the violence and burning of buildings down. How hard is this?

Okay. So when Osama bin Laden attacked the World Trade Center, did you say America should deal with it peacefully?

Question, man. I'm posing questions to you. You don't I answered

your question.

With people burning down businesses in New York City. You're not gonna answer the question, Hawk, but listen.

Wait. Okay. I'll give you this.

Give you

this. I'll give you this.

Not it's not nothing

else to get answered in question 3 times. I don't promote it, but I will not condemn it.

Yeah. That's just cowardly, man. That's just cowardly. You're a coward. For something.

You know what? You see, you're a coward. Me. God bless you, man. I'm out of here.

God bless.

Yeah. Yeah. You are out of here. You're right. Yeah.

You were out of there, loser. Fucking 0. But, you know, folks, I I seen guys like this my whole life. I'm not gonna get into why or how. It's gonna need to be a karate guy.

Whatever. It's all bullshit. Who cares? I'm telling you something for a fact. I've seen these people my entire life.

These fake tough guys, these, you know, wanna be like, I'm down losers. This guy is a tier 1 level jump and a coward who would back down from a 1 on 1 fight in a second if he didn't have 20 guys behind him. Guaranteed. He goes out there and griffs in front of the camera and starts talking about you being a white supremacist and all that stuff because he knows left wing media losers will eat it up. Meanwhile, Hawk Newsom be the 1st guy on that train car if the Neely guy was threatening people to do nothing to protect the women and kids in the car.

He'd be the 1st guy backing out of the car. And then if you called him out, he'd be the 1st guy to probably sue you later on. Losers. Daniel Penney, not guilty. And by the way, Hawk learned the legal system.

If you think he said, I don't think anybody's innocent of anything. There's no innocent legal standard. Wake up, dumbass. It's guilty or not guilty. Nobody's innocent of anything.

He's not innocent that did happen. The guy died. He is not guilty. Meaning, there is no legal consequence for him for engaging in an act of self protection. Wake up, dumbass.

Read a book once in a while, you freaking moron. Stop being stupid every single day. And let me give you a little lesson here, and for Stewart as well. This is really easy. Stewart, Hawk, you should ask me.

Do you condemn violence if Daniel Penney was declared guilty? Would you recommend violence? Hell to the no. We wouldn't. We condemn it in each and every circumstance unless it's self defense or some legally protected class where you're allowed to defend yourself.

This is not hard. It's only hard for morons in the media and people like Hawk who lie to you all the time. The guy's a chump, and so are all these other zeroes in the media trying to paint for you a gaslit reality of a world that doesn't exist. This is why we have all these problems as a country. Why you believe police are hunting down black men in the streets because of people like Hawk and others?

Why you believe the rich don't pay their fair share? Why you believe the border's secure? Why you believe things like school choice steals money from public schools, why you believe things like crime is down. None of that shit is true. None of it.

You believe it because the media morons tell you it, and you're too dumb on the left to do your own homework. There's this great video clip by Mike Schellenberg, an actual journalist. I don't know his politics. I don't care. There's only about a minute of it.

The, the first 30 seconds or so, he goes into the whole collusion hoax, and we we already know about that, How the media believes that. But here's about another minute. On all of the BS, the media told you that only morons on the left ate up and and and and basically had digested this stuff, and they believe it's it's total bullshit. You could go do a modicum of homework and figure it out yourself. They just don't want to.

Check this out.

Media actively created the Russiagate hoax alongside the Democratic Party and the United States Intelligence Community. Hillary Clinton's campaign and CIA director John Brennan created the Russiagate hoax in 2016, claiming falsely that the Russians favored Trump over Clinton, that the Russians got Trump elected, and that the Russians controlled Trump through a sex blackmail operation. The media spread COVID vaccine disinformation with the financing of the pharmaceutical companies and the help of democratic operatives in the White House and other executive branch agencies. Together, they claimed that the vaccine would prevent infection and transmission, had no side effects to worry about, and that anybody who said differently should be censored. The media participated in the Democrats' big lie that Joe Biden was in perfect mental and cognitive health.

Folks, I need you to be really cautious in these coming days. Man, we do not need another series of George Floyd like riots because the media environment, Shellenberger, just accurately and appropriately describes a bunch of lying scumbags, is now gonna go out there today and say, vigilantism is back. None of that happened. A guy on the subway threatened a bunch of people, and another guy who is now legally not guilty, Daniel Penney, injected himself at his own peril into a situation where he could have gotten hurt really badly and defended other people. That's what happened.

You have to understand that the media, the left wing media, people like Hawk and these other losers that have lied to you about this, if you follow the money, you will figure out they did it for a very simple reason. Left wing agitators need media megaphones out there to stir shit up in the street because they use this political violence in the street for my chaos theory. Maybe you hear my chaos walking dead theory. You ever see the show in the walking dead about the zombies, officer Rick and the human survivors? They go and they live in a prison because they're safe from the zombies on the outside.

Who walks into a prison voluntarily? You want the answer? People who are afraid of what's on the outside. The left needs you terrified. They need you always suckling on the teeth of government.

Government's gonna come and save you. And 1 of the ways they do that is by making it appear that when the Republicans, conservatives, the MAGA people, and the libertarians are in charge, that there's such chaos that you should forfeit away your liberty to them and that they'll protect you against the evil people on the right. But you've gotta believe the evil people on the right are evil, and the only reason you'll believe that is if the left wing narrative persists. Those righties, they support the cops. The cops are hunting black men in the streets, shooting them down randomly.

They profit off this stuff, and they isolate you from the truth. They don't let you see the truth. When that Harvard said, it was a Roland Fryer came out about police interactions that completely debunked this ridiculous hunting black men in the street narrative now that I promise they're gonna use with this Jordan Neely case now that Penny's not guilty. You think that got a bunch of mainstream media coverage? You probably never heard about it till now.

It's a lie, man. They isolate you from the truth. Here is conclusive evidence again of exactly how the media cordons off the truth. So if you're a left wing moron, you never get the other side of the story. Here's the great Katherine Harrods.

She's on NewsNation. She's an actual reporter. Don't know our politics. Don't give a damn. Here she is on NewsNation talking about how she scored this huge interview with Elon Musk Musk when the Twitter files came out, talking about all the censorship on Twitter.

Remember when the files dropped? I was in those. So a sensitive topic to me. She scores a huge interview. You would think CBS would be all over this.

Oh, no. She says here CBS turned it down because they were unsure what Elon Musk was gonna say. Oh, no. Oh, no. No.

No. No. No. That's not it. I get what she's doing there, but that's not it at all.

They were afraid Elon Musk would tell the truth. And if you're gonna gaslight people into believing bullshit, then you can't ever have the truth get out there. Check this out.

Yeah. So, just to set the stage, it was, the fall of 2023. I had tried to enterprise a story that would bring the Twitter files to CBS News. It didn't get as far as I had hoped, but an interview opportunity developed with Elon Musk, and the offer was to do a live interview with him on x. So I took that opportunity to the CBS News executives, and they said, you know, we just can't do it live.

And I was like, what do you mean we can't do it live? And they said, well, we don't know what he's gonna say. And I was like, wait a second. Isn't that what journalism is is all about?

They don't care that you will never be exposed to the alternate truth because the lie works for them. Follow the money. What do you mean follow the money? These media entities now at the New York Times and Washington Post, MSNBC, and CNN, they're telling people a story, not this story. Why?

Because a story appeals to them. Republicans are evil fascist Nazis. That's it. They can't accept it. They're the bad guy.

They can. That they supported left wing Twitter before Elon bought it, and that it actively engaged in fascist style censorship. They can't accept it. So they just don't wanna know the truth. They can't accept it.

The black men are being hunted by cops scenario. They there is money in telling people it's not the democrats running these cities into the ground and destroying the lives of black men and women in these cities run by Democrats. It's the evil white man who supports the cops. Then none of that's true. Doesn't matter.

They don't want the truth at all, and either do the swampy Republicans. Here, this clip of Tim Walz is a perfect example. Remember tampon Tim? You'll be he'll be forgotten about in the year. No 1 will even remember this guy just like Tim Cain who ran with Hillary Clinton as a vice presidential nominee.

You probably don't even remember that. Right? Here's Tim Walz, ran with Kamala Harris, easily the worst vice presidential selection on a ticket we've seen in modern times. Wants tampons in the boys' room. And what the hell are they gonna do it?

I mean, what the hell is a tampon gonna do? But tampon Tim sees have an answer. Here he is in 1 of his first interviews here talking about why they lost. And this is a perfect example of a man who is living in this Truman show like bubble, who is so gaslit himself. I promise you, he actually believes this.

Here he is talking about how Donald Trump. Donald Trump, 1 of the first Republicans in decades to go to the Bronx, to go to Madison Square Garden in the heart of liberal New York City, to go out to liberal areas and say, hey, man. I'm here for you. A guy who you wanna talk about real inclusion? Donald Trump who got a record number for a Republican, a black male voters.

You would think Tim Wilson say, hey. We did something wrong. Nope. In his version of it, you did because he knows better than you do, and you guys just don't want inclusion or any of that stuff because you did it. Oh, yeah.

This happened. Check this out.

I think we're going to have to understand what type of leadership do they want. We were we were pledging to be inclusive. We were pledging to bring people in. Donald Trump has said that that isn't what he wants. And so if that's what America's leading towards, I guess for me, it's to understand and learn more about America because I thought that they were going to probably, move towards a more positive message.

He doesn't wanna learn about America, folks. He doesn't care. He cares about hierarchy. He now doesn't have power, and he doesn't know where to find the copium to drink. He's out of copium.

He can't find it. King of the tampon. Put it up in the chat. Put it up in the chat. Hey.

By the way, just addressing I know with the rumble issue, folks, it is not us. I just reached out to Chris, CEO of rumble, and, he sent me a message that it is an Internet backbone issue. It is not us. But I again, it's manifesting itself through Rumble, but I promise, it's not a soul. I apologize either way even though it's not our because it's our show.

But, if you're not, it's it's only certain areas of the country. So some of you who are watching this live with no problems, you have no idea what I'm talking about. But if you're in the area, it's been a bit of an issue. But either way, sorry about the interruption. Make sure if you missed anything, you check it out on VOD.

I wanna play this 1 last 1 to show you what I mean by what it looks like when stupid smart people, Jake Sullivan, Tim Walz, and others who cannot accept the limits of their own knowledge start getting into spaces they have no idea, and they have the pretense of knowledge. Oh, look at me. I'm an astrophysicist. I wanna play this clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's on Piers Morgan show.

Again, the guy's a brilliant was he an astrophysicist or something? Listen to this guy contort himself into knots trying to explain away how men and women should be able to compete in the same sports because biologically, it's really no different than weight classes. You realize what kind of a dipshit you have to be to believe in this, or you could be a liberal who's been gaslit. Check this out. What I see is sports is on the frontier of

how to handle this frontier of of of, people who are trans. It's on the frontier of how to resolve that. And I I'm making this up now. Imagine the future of sports does not distinguish sex. It distinguishes and sorts people by hormone ratios.

I'm I'm making this up, but imagine that if that were the case. That would be interesting. You get a hormone test, if you're in this range, and then you compete against other people with the same range

of hormones. That's ridiculous.

That that's

No. That is ridiculous. No. It's not. I'll tell you why it's not You wanna give every single person in

a whole body test.

Hold on. Hold on.

I used to wrestle. And wrestling, there are people who weigh, sorry, am I using pounds here, a £125 right on up to £240. They don't wrestle each other. The entire sport separates people so that the contest is interesting.

I'm the I I can't. I can't with this guy. A hormone test. We're all gonna do a hormone blend. If your estradiol levels of 52.5, you're gonna compete against you believe this?

Is the hormone test gonna be by day? Is it gonna be by week? Does this guy have any idea how androgens work and you have any idea at all? Of course, he doesn't because he's a stupid smart person who has the pretense of knowledge, but not actual knowledge. What a moron.
