Don't Get Played By Their Latest Gaslighting Campaign (Ep. 2444)

28:20Because he... Hold on a second. Sorry, folks. You listen on audio. I'm like, the cold brew stuff, I can't get enough of it. It's like 20 degrees in Florida, and I'm drinking cold brew. Hold on. All right. Nice. Nice. He believes in the Don Roe Doctrine. You know, you had the Monroe Doctrine. Donald Trump's got the Don Roe Doctrine. He is not going to let anyone put a footprint in our hemisphere that wants to do really bad things to us. Oh, come on. People must have thought about this in the past. Everybody thought about it, but nobody did shit. Chavez, Maduro. None of them. Now, I kind of be careful when I talk about national security for obvious reasons.

29:16I hope you understand that. I think you do. You guys didn't pay me to go out and come out here and be some superhero, write a book like these other morons, and blow up the national security picture. Let me give you all the secrets. Never going to happen. But based on stuff you can read in the public, I think it's fairly obvious, ladies and gentlemen. China, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba. A lot of these countries have significant surveillance interests trying to surveil us. The threat picture is different. You have industrial control systems. You have the compromise of a grid. You have space-based threats.

29:56You have underwater threats. You can read all about this stuff in the newspaper from people who've blown it up in the past. You have traditional threats, ICBMs, hypersonics, drones. These are not threats, many of them, not all, but not threats that existed in the 60s. And they definitely didn't exist in the 1800s. Donald Trump sees these threats every morning. This is a little inside baseball. We talked about it yesterday with the president himself. But everybody knows the president every morning. gets his daily brief, the PDB, the president's daily brief. The principals and deputies around the government get roughly the same brief.

30:41Most of it's pretty much the same. Sometimes he gets very specific stuff for him. He's read in on everything. This is why I was saying about the media, listen, I am an avid, firm, hardcore believer in the First Amendment freedom of the press, period. That's a full stop or route. But that doesn't mean you know anything. It just doesn't. I'll read these articles now. After the experience I just had with these like national security reporters and all these other dipshits out there. And you got to laugh because you're reading the real information on the inside. And it's like reporters saying zebras have no stripes.

31:23Of course they have stripes. Have you ever seen a zebra? They have no idea. I'm telling you, folks, whatever you think of the mainstream media, folks, whatever you think about them, the liberal hacks and goons in the media, it's 10 times worse. I'm not kidding. This is not like some clicky-baity. I don't need it. I got no time for it. I'm just telling you, now having seen it, it is a thousand times worse. You will read stuff in the newspaper that is so categorically wrong and ridiculous. You're like, they got that from like a janitor in the basement of the White House. Here's a guy who does know the threat.

32:06And I got to tell you, it was an honor to work with him. He'd been a friend a long time, but working with him was different. Whether it was Golden Dome or other projects or working with his people. You all know our Secretary of War, Secretary Hegseth, an amazing guy, a patriot. But he understands, like President Trump, that we cannot allow things in our hemisphere that we would have maybe 50, 60 years ago because the threats are imminent, they're acute, they're persistent, and they're here now if we don't get rid of them. What Secretary Hegseth also understands is that the days of the United States government having a monopoly over technology are over.

32:50We are going to have to work with private sector companies, drone threats, cyber threats, all of it. Folks, there's no way around it. You've got companies out there we may not like, but they've got trillion dollar budgets. And if they have assets that can keep us alive and prevent New York and D.C. from going boom, we have no choice. We don't. Here's Secretary Hegseth yesterday in a speech he was given. I picked up as I was putting the show together. I loved it. Where he's talking about their cooperation with these private sector enterprises to get the best military technology possible in the hands of our amazing patriotic thank you to our warfighters.

33:26Check this out. Your building here at Merritt Island is a core function of the arsenal of freedom. You see, the arsenal isn't just about door kickers or guys dropping precision bombs, although we like those guys very much. It's not just about intel and analysts and mechanics wearing camouflage. They're all important to our nation, to be sure. But look at the thousands of square feet that make up this production site, where you produce the next generation of launch vehicles and spacecraft like the New Shepard launch vehicle and the Blue Moon lander. I just had the privilege of also meeting with Administrator Isaacman over at NASA.

34:10And your work here, along with his, will help President Trump accomplish the national security policy objectives at record pace, including critical projects like Artemis. And you're exactly right. We're going to make space great again.

34:37I'm sorry. I'm not trying to do, you know, people do that. They call him Pete to look like, you know, like I know him. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to do that. I hate that shit. It drives me crazy. My buddy, Johnny, it's director Recklum. So I hate that. I can't stand it. Drives me freaking bananas. I'm trying. But let me tell you about my experience with Secretary Hegseth. He, like Cash and others, who came into an agency from the outside, Cash had had some government experience, but was not an FBI agent before. it filtered down from the president this is the best kind of inside baseball I can give you the most important question in the world everyone was instructed to ask and follow through why?

35:22he's another one well we don't work with that company why? well we can't why? no it's not we just have it he totally threw out and scrapped a lot of this stuff they had done in the past and said why? why are we doing that? Why do we have this footprint there and not that footprint there? And I'm going to tell you something. I have the utmost respect. Listen to me. This is really important. Utmost respect for our warfighters. You know that. If you've been listening to this show, there's no, my greatest regret in my lifetime is not going in the military. It really was. Staff Sergeant Williams, my recruiter for Marine Corps, the NYPD called with the cadet program.

36:02I wanted to go in later and the golden handcuffs in it. No excuse. I just, it kills me to this day. Nothing like war fighters. Nothing. Nothing. There's no experience like it. You either did it or you didn't. End the story. A thousand bucks. But man, some of the people in the administrative bureaucracy at the top of the Pentagon had to go. They had to go, folks. We had this, a lot of this DEI stuff we found in the FBI was just infecting the Pentagon too. And I'm sure when the secretary's time is up and he's able to talk more, he's going to tell you that too. All these leaks that came out of the Pentagon, Pete Irons' jacket before he was on the Pentagon.

36:47Who the hell, who gives a shit? Do you remember that? Like, that's a story? Like, they would never in a thousand lifetimes write that story about anyone appointed by a liberal president, ever. It was just meant to try to discredit him. And I promise you it's not working. Let me just give you a little tutorial, too, for the media and these people while we're going through. By the way, just to keep everybody grounded, we're talking about the POTUS Ws. It's been an amazing year. Amazing. But here's a little tutorial for the press. If you think you're going to get a Trump cabinet member fired by writing negative bullshit stories with zero substance at all, let me just tell you right now, having lived it with absolute certainty, certainty,

37:33the best job protection in the world is liberal media zeros what are you laughing liberal media zeros writing an article demanding Jim Verde be fired as the secretary of Dan Bongino show it's the

37:51I'm not kidding if you want to ensure secretary of the Dan Bongino show works the entire four years write an article The calls grow for Secretary Verde to be fired. The president ain't listening to you. The president doesn't give a shit about what you say. You think he doesn't know he needs to fire or not? Here's how many shits the president gives about your... What number is that, Jim? That's a freaking zero. He does not give a shit about what you say. Do you hear me? Washington Post New York Times CNN MSDNC whatever they're called now CBNB NBC I don't even know what the hell you call yourself now Mad Cow all these other lunatics over there that's the greatest I would see these articles by the left wing media Dan Bongio's gonna be fired I'm like that's it I'll definitely be here in a year now there's no way he is listening to you zero chance

38:53this is the segment supposed to be about the W it is about the W but I got to pepper it with some of the folks it's been bottled up for a year man no idea how much I've been dying to talk to you guys but I told you when I put on that hat you know you work for the taxpayer you got to shut your pie hole that's it it was hard though it's hard wasn't easy Kim Strasso you know listen Wall Street Journal is a huge fan of President Trump I don't think that's a mystery, guys, ladies out there. You know that. So when they write an article about W's big wins for the Trump administration in what has been an incredible first year, you know it's legit.

39:33They're in no rush, believe me, to, you know, to polish up any aspect of the Trump administration. Not that they need it. But the journal is in zero rush to do that. but Strassel wrote this piece a while ago and when it came out again I was like dying I'm like damn it I wish I was on the air to talk about this but I saved it I bookmarked a lot of stuff because I'm like I'll get to this later when I get back on the air I'll run through this pretty quick with these again for all the doomers this is all the stuff I guess you may have missed throw up that piece Guy Wall Street Journal Kim Strassel it's been an incredible year there's a couple of screenshots I took from the peace screencaps.

40:16First one's about Doge. The federal government is now 271 ,000 employees lighter than in January. This article was written on Christmas Eve, December 24th. Now, Jim, what are the doomers saying? You know it. Why isn't it 2 million? Holy shit. I get it. Everything this guy does, you guys have something to say. I understand. Man, nobody gets fired from the government ever, except under this administration where they were like, hey, man, we're paying millions of government employees. I think we can do this a little leaner. Can we start looking at people? Elon's Doge people had a real impact. Don't tell.

40:57Here's the 18 year old, you know, what is Ben Jones for The Washington Post? He's 18 and a half. He's barely in school. He's writing an article. Let me tell you about my experience. You don't know shit about Doge, Ben. Take your Twinkies and Ding Dongs and go sit in a corner and sit your fat ass down. You don't know shit, okay? These Doge people at the president's direction, working with Elon's crew, came in and did a scrub of a whole bunch of agencies and found a ton of waste. I can just tell you in my experience at the Bureau, I think we saved, Cash put the number out the other day, something like$317 million.

41:38That's not chump change. We found all kinds of crap. We found like, it was like these, I don't know what you got, like news subscriptions or something. It was like, here's like Reuter Analytics or whatever. I forget what it was. I was like, how much does that cost? I'm like, when was the last time someone opened that to look at it? 1942? Like, really? Folks, this is everywhere in the government. And again, it goes back to the doomers. Like, oh, well, we could have fired more. Nobody's ever fired or let go anyone in the government, like ever. Trump administration comes in. We're now 271 ,000 employees lighter and growing.

42:21Those are fewer people you have to pay for and finance. That happened. I get it, Doomers. You could have done better. I know, I know. You could have done, again, while you're sitting there, you know, playing Madden 2026 or whatever. I understand. You would have done better. We get it. We know. there was a whole culture change when Donald Trump got elected and worked with Elon with the Doge guys. I saw it. I saw financial folks in the bureau and elsewhere in the Pentagon and elsewhere like freaking out. Like, oh my gosh, we're actually going to have to justify a lot of these expenses. Don't tell me what I saw.

43:02I saw it. And then when you got to justify expenses, all of a sudden, crazy expenses start disappearing. Here's another one from the Strassel piece. Incredible first year. I wanted to cover this yesterday before the president came on. We just had so much to talk about. What about taxes? The Democrats wanted to raise your taxes. That's just a fact. It's not my opinion, folks. The Democrats wanted the Trump tax cuts from his first term, 45, to expire. They wanted him to go away. Well, the president wasn't having that. Got them extended, and here's Strassel. It spared the nation a massive economy-harming tax hike on January 1st.

43:41Yes, it did. I get it. Doomers, liberals, I totally understand. Well, I would have cut taxes. Again, you didn't do shit. Ass, seat, nothing. You did nothing. You drank a can of cheap beer and sat there and threw the empty can. I would have done different. You wouldn't have done shit. this is just the first year you would have had your taxes go up dramatically if these goon democrats had their way you'd be paying for probably a million more government employees here's another one government red tape we know how much everyone loves red tape everyone loves paying for lawyers right to fill out 5 000 government forms to dig a ditch in your backyard because of the waters of the United States rule.

44:30It rained, and 17 years ago, it attached to a tributary that leaked into a river. So it's going to be a million dollars for the permit, Jim, in your Texas backyard. Don't even think about smoking meats next to that water pond. What is he saying? That was a real thing, by the way. I'm not making it up. Here, President Trump's administration, first year. Regulatory cuts. He promised a 10 to 1 deregulatory ratio. 10 rules out for every new rule they put in. But get a load of this. Here's what President Trump did. 646 regulatory actions compared with five regulatory actions for a ratio of 129 to one.

45:16That's a savings of$600 in administrative burden per American. I get it. Liberals, media clowns. I understand. Oh, we would have done bad. Again, you wouldn't have done shit. You would have written about it. That's all you do. Big people do big things. Little people talk about big people who do big things. Fact. This is just the first year. Year one. That's it. We're not even into like halfway through his term. You may say, well, wow, Dan, that's an impressive couple things you talked about there. Maduro, war on cancer, productivity super cycle, private sector productivity, working with the Secretary of War, government leaning out, red tape leaning out, our taxes getting cut.

46:07No, I'm not even done. I still got a couple more to tell you about. Guy should be on Mount Rushmore. He's not even over yet. Not even done yet. Just start chiseling. Start chiseling. Jim, you a chiseler?

46:24Put up that other one, the energy boomer. By the way, for those who are new to the show, I know I drink funny. Can we demo that again, Guy? Sorry, put it back to the full screen. I'm not weird. My elbows don't work. You can see the scars. I've had a thousand surgeries on them. I'm not trying to play a tough guy. I got tapped out a lot in the JIT stuff. So I've had surgery on my elbows. I got arthritis. A lot of you are new. We got 127 ,000 people here today. So some of them are new. My elbows don't work. So I actually can't reach my mouth with the cup. So I've got to bend in weird contortions and directions.

47:00Sorry for the explainer, but that's true. So have fun with it. But that's how my body doesn't work like it used to. They're all like show muscles now. Except Nicole Wallace loves them. We'll get to that. Don't let me go today without that story. She's like in love with me at MSNBC. It's the weirdest thing. I'm not dating you. Forget it. I'm not. Stop asking, weirdo. I was like obsessed with my shirt. Sam Marchino's shirts. Oh.

47:31Here's some more for you. POTUS wins in the first year. Rack them up, kids. W's left and right. Energy boom. You know energy, like the thing we put in the gas tank, heat your house. It's like minus 20 in Florida right now. I had to turn the heat on for the first time, even though we had heat. I had a button. I'm like, look at that. We got heat. Crazy. I've never used it before. Freaking pool almost froze over. thank god there was salt in there the US is now producing 24.2 million barrels of oil a day, that's a lot so that's put in perspective that's more than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined, no way yes way and 108 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day, as much as Russia Iran and China combined that's the Trump agenda, not the damn Bongino, I wasn't the president I just did the law enforcement stuff I told you this show wasn't going to be all like FBI stories.

48:26We'll sprinkle them in. We'll have some fun with it, just like we did with my prior lines at work. But this is not that show. This is a show about politics and culture and liberty and freedom and advancing the cause. And I can tell you right now, this guy in the White House, President DJT, is kicking ass and taking names. Those are facts. We are producing a shit ton of oil and natural gas. More than the biggest oil and gas producers in the world. Where do you read that story with the doomers and the lib media? They're like, if I was in charge, I produced 27. You didn't produce shit again for the umpteenth time.

49:05Fat ass sat in the seat and did nothing. Smoking a cheap cigar, drinking a cheapo beer, like the beer Homer used to drink in The Simpsons, and you threw the empty can at the screen. while doing the Leo DiCaprio giffy. You know the giffy? If you're on Twitter as much as I am, you know exactly what I'm talking about. My guys, thank you. You know what you're texting me right now. I appreciate the compliment. You didn't do shit. Leo DiCaprio giffy. You just pointed at the screen. The Trump administration did this. Not you. You just complained. Here's one more from that article. This is a doozy, and I lived through this one personally.

49:46The DEI, which is a rotting, metastasizing cancer in the federal government. This diversity, equity, and exclusion. It's inclusion. No, it's exclusion because you exclude people you don't like. You have to fit a preferred category for the liberal narrative or they hate your guts. Trump administration dismantled government DEI offices and programs and forced new standards on federal contractors and bought actions against universities over the question of anti-Semitism and other things, which is disgraceful and disgusting. And I know you know my stance on that, which we'll be talking about a lot, in case it's any mystery to anybody out there.

50:30Folks, the DEI culture change was profound from day one. Day one. I'll just give you my experience. Again, we worked under the Department of Justice. The FBI used to, if you look at the FBI seal, the Department of Justice on top, we're on the bottom on our own seal. We work for the Department of Justice. I was there, I don't know, a couple months or so. Media, of course, wrote a story about it because, you know, these leakers who I addressed yesterday, total scumbags inside the government. They leak everything. They leak like Dan Bongino drank a Diet Coke. I don't drink Diet Coke. It was not sure that would actually happen.

51:08But it would have. the DAG, the Deputy Attorney General Blanche, he put out this email like we're not doing pronouns in anybody's because people had all these, you would get these emails Jim I'm not even kidding, you get these emails like pronouns like they them, she, shall, no no we're not doing that, we're not doing that so Blanche was like no no, we're not doing no pronouns here's the liner, it'll be your name and it said like your name and your title, like that's it We're not doing like inspirational quotes in there You get some of these emails And they'd be like The wind bloweth over the South Sea Get that shit off your email It's a government email you goofball We don't need your inspirational quotes Put it on your tombstone The wind bloweth over the South Sea With a rose gold horizon Get that shit off your email Todd was like no more I'm just telling you my experience This was throughout the government Secretary Hegs said over at the War Department did the same thing.

52:10No, no, we're not doing this DEI. And then a bunch of whiners in the bureau started complaining. Oh, my God, you're making us do a pull-up? Yeah, man. God forbid you actually have to pull yourself over a fence in a foot pursuit. Shit, I mean, who would need to do that? Leaking to the media. Oh, making us do a pull-up. Oh, oh. My wife is 51. She does three pull-ups herself. She probably could do five if all she did was pull-ups on. What were you? Oh, we got to do pull-ups. Oh, my gosh. Do you believe it? Then some story leaks like, Dan said in a meeting one time, you know, ring doorbells, and if you show up overweight and stuff, yeah.

52:54Yeah, you know what? You know why they said that? It wasn't exactly the quote. because when you ask people in prisons who've attacked and engaged in afos assault on a federal officer or any officer for that matter when you ask them in prison or elsewhere after they've been locked up why they attacked that officer that person they give the same answer every time you know what it is because i thought i could take them that's why this dei stuff was a freaking cancer, man. An absolute cancer.

53:31Here, let's wrap this segment up about year one. I got a lot of stuff I want to get to too, including Nicole Wallace's bizarre infatuation with my shirt. You like this one, Nicole? I can get you one. I know the guys.

53:52here was a tweet i put out a while ago just quick again this is just the president's first year energy war on cancer productivity super cycle taxes going down what about this throw up that tweet whenever you guys get around to it there you go hey thanks guys i know how to chat will be like leave the guys alone it's like a union for the crew here i wrote this on my twitter account a while back midterms are coming the first year was for the record books friends don't let friends black pill violent crime arrests double in trump's first year illegal crossings in u.s mexico border plummet president trump brokers another historic piece deal.

54:36Atlanta Fed doubles GDP to five something percent. The GDP at 5%. You have any idea what 5 % GDP is? 5 % GDP, the economy doubles in about 14 years. Doubles, like in real value, doubles. Ah, don't worry about it. The Doomer's, ah, I could have done better. Yeah, sure. You wouldn't have done shit. Here's another one. LA Times. These are like massive victories for any administration that he's had so many the president, they get lost. People probably forgot about this one. LA Times, which hates the president. U.S. overdose deaths fell through most of 2025. Federal data show. Jim, who was the president in 2025?

55:20Donald Trump. That's so crazy. By the way, Brickhouse, thank you for these cups. I'm not a big fan of plastic, so. here's one last one to wall street journal united states world's sole superpower again who's the president now you Sir Eh they'll ignore all that they could have done better. Folks, I want to get to this next. I'm going to take a quick break, but in my year away from you all, and gosh, I can't say it enough. I really missed you. In my year away from you all, I had to keep my opinions to myself. I was not paid for that. I can't say it enough. And it's hard because a lot of life losers and grifters and stuff, I think they thought I wasn't coming back.

56:15I don't know why they would think that. and I think they thought, oh, we'll just mess with them. Well, that's never really worked out for anyone like ever. But some of the stuff I saw really, really like ate me alive inside. One of them I just saw the other day. I know you've heard this Billie Eilish thing a thousand times and you know I don't do a lot of this like pop culture because I don't really care most of the time about this garbage, but I got to do it. So I'll take a quick break. are the last couple spots for today's show. Folks, I am a big believer in dose. I'll occasionally have some wine on a date night with Paula or something like that.

56:56And cholesterol, I monitor my blood. I take my blood work every couple months or so. Cholesterol is tough. And for many of us, it's genetic. Paula and I discovered a while back dose. It says recently, but I got to tell you, folks, we've been taking it for a while and you know that. So we've been using dose for a really long time. A matter of fact, we were using them before they were a sponsor because I love the product. It's a clinically backed cholesterol support supplement that helps target triglycerides, LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol.

Dose for cholesterol is a way to get help in taking control of your own health and something that I can help delay more intense conventional therapies.

58:13Just quick, I just got my blood work done. Maybe I should show it to you soon. I'll find it for this. My cholesterol was 165. That was it. So I have the lab results. I'm not going to fudge them.

So in the year away, again, I've read a lot of stuff and I'd be like, oh man, I want to tweet about stuff so bad. And you know we don't do a lot of celebrity bullshit because nobody really cares. I don't really care. And I say this, I say this regarding all celebrity political opinions.

1:00:56While I would rather have you on our side as a celebrity, like we want to get people to vote for liberty and freedom in our ideas, right? It doesn't exclude you if you're a celebrity by any stretch. I get that. But I just don't put a lot of stock in celebrity opinions for the same reason I don't put a lot of stock in media opinions because they just don't know shit. So why would I listen? I mean, it's like taking a course in like endocrinology from a car mechanic. He may be a brilliant guy. Most of them are, especially with these cars now. But they'll be the first to tell you, like, I'm not an endocrinologist.

1:01:32You don't want me doing brain surgery. I don't know anything about brain surgery. The media and celebrities know absolutely nothing about national security or politics. Zero. So this happened the other day. I ran in. I'm like, guys, you got to pull this for me. you know this a billy eilish lady's a singer apparently i guess she's got some stuff does anybody ever by the way is what happened to music are there any i've read a story about this year does anybody like remember are there any memorable songs anymore like is there any stairway to heavens comfortably numb before roger waters went crazy like are there any of these songs that are like bedrock staples anymore silver springs what's this what's the i know she has that one famous song.

1:02:14I don't even know the name of it. If I heard it, I'd know it. So Billie Eilish is at the, what was the awards? Grammy Awards? Grammy? Grammy. Sorry, guys. I honestly don't even know. Oscars. Who the hell knows? That's how little I watch this crap. She gets an award for like Best Life Loser of the Year or whatever it was. I don't even know the categories. Dipshit of the decade. I mean, who? I don't know. I don't know. I don't really care. So he's up there getting the award. And here's Billie Eilish. And of course, everybody was like in the screw ice mode. So here's what she said. These celebs, they kill me.

1:02:50This is just, this is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Check this out. No one is illegal on stolen land.

1:03:06and yeah it's just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now and i just i feel really hopeful in this room and i feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting and our voices really do matter and the people matter.

1:03:28Guy, I love this one. I had them cut this yesterday. I didn't know where they were going to end it. I'm glad you actually let it go for a second. Nobody's illegal on stolen land. I'm not even sure I should do right now. I got a recommendation for you. How about you shut the fuck up? Nobody gives a shit what you have to say. Just sing. Nobody gives a shit on stolen land. What is this one? I guarantee you, She has made no effort whatsoever to return her home. I know you've heard it a thousand times because it's almost become like a cliche. Give it back. Just give it back. If it's stolen land, then just give your.

1:04:02Why don't you start? How about this? Hey, Bill. Do you go by Bill? I don't really care. Bill, I got an idea. You're probably worth, I don't know, 10 million, 20 million. I don't know. I'm not a singer. I don't know the revenue model. I know this revenue model. I don't know. She's probably worth 10, 20 million. How about you go out? You don't even, I don't even turn over your house. I'm not even asking you to do that. Take about 10 milli, go buy up a bunch of like lots and then return them to the people you think they were stolen from. Well, I don't know who they're saying. Of course you don't.

1:04:33Nobody else does either. People die. Tribes went to war. Indian tribes went to war. We went to war with the Prince. The French went to war in Indochina. It happens all the time. There is no such thing as stolen land. There is land people live on and there's land people don't live on. Okay? This stolen land bullshit in the United States. Give it back. All these universities. They start off there. They do these university ceremonies and graduation. They're like, we're going to do a land acknowledgement. Here are 72 generations of people who lived here. Dude, a guy lived in my house before I bought it too.

1:05:08Did I steal it from him? Are you people morons? Bill, go buy up some land and just do a genealogy thing or whatever. Dig up the soil to see who's, do a DNA test on 27 and me or whatever the hell it is. And just give it to, I'll tell you what, I promise you, Bill, I will do another segment on the show and extend mad respect to you. I will be like, hey, at least she's not a shit talker. She won't do it. She's not, if that's illegal, I'd stolen land. Actually, we have this thing called the law. You are illegal. If you violate the law to come here, by default, you are illegal. Give it back, Bill. Give it back.

1:05:54Reminds me of my friend Brian when they brought him out a steak and a potato and he thought the potato was another steak, so he gave it to my brother at dinner. Then he figured out that he was left with the potato and he gave away his steak and he said, give it back, give it back, just give it back. I have an update on the story. Wait, did she give it back? It's a statement from the tribe. They're in a home. Okay, this is a lifetime update. The Tongva tribe reacts to Bill, Big Bill, remarks about stolen land. As the first people of greater Los Angeles basin, we do understand our home is situated in our ancestral land.

1:06:36Elish, Elish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property. We will follow up today. Yes, I love you. The member of the Tongva tribe. You guys are heroes. That is incredible. Yeah, please follow up and make sure she returns that stolen land. Brilliant. Brilliant. What's the Alinsky rule, right, guys? Rules for radicals. Hold them to their own standards. Show us the way, Bill. Show us the way. Here's another phony. I hate bullshitters. I hate it. And talkers who don't do stuff. Like, go do stuff or shut your pie hole. Here's another one. Wall Street Journal. Mitt Romney. A guy I got to tell you, I really can't stand.

1:07:19I'm like embarrassed I voted for this guy. I mean, we really had no choice. It wasn't like the alternative was any good. But I got to tell you, like, of all the votes I've taken, like, this one's the worst. I didn't have much of a choice. We were all kind of in a pickle with that one. It was like, remember I told you level 10 decisions, the shitty decision and the shittier decision trying to find out which one. He was Romney back in December. I was still on the job complaining that he doesn't pay enough taxes. Holy Moses. Dude, just cut the check just like Big Bill. Give your freaking property back to the Tongvas.

1:07:51We love the Tongva tribe. Give them back to Tongva. Give them back to the Tongva tribe. Man, there is a line on the IRS forms. We have It's shown it many times. You can donate to the, isn't there a website to make voluntary donations to the United States Treasury? A big mint. Go for it, bro. You're like a trillionaire. Just write the freaking check. All these rich assholes. Oh my gosh, I should be paying. So pay them. Pay them. Here, get your ass out of the seat. Yes. Go to the website on your computer and just cut the check. Dude, here's a pen. Stroke the check. Just, here we go. Just sign it.

1:08:37Hey, man, if you want to cut a check to the studio, too, you can do that as well. You got a couple trillion bucks. I want to pay more taxes. So pay him and shut up. Just pay him. Stroke the check. Freaking zero. I can pay more taxes. Do it. I'll give you a little. Tell you what. I promise. again along with bill stroke the check and we'll cover it on the show listen i got more on some of these uh media morons why is it on my mind so much too because again like when you see these stories from the inside and these perilous national security threats that are going on every day and then you see how the media writes about president trump like he's some kind of a moron and they have more information than he does it's like really seriously like offensive.

1:09:30Here's what I mean. Again, I just want to be clear on this. But I said again twice. Again? Remember that? Do you remember that? We're bringing back all the oldies. Again? Again. Norm MacDonald? Again. We got to play that clip. Line that up. We got to do that for tomorrow. I am fiercely protective of the media's right to speak out. Freedom of the press matters to me. It is paramount, tip of the spear. But again, that gives you the freedom, to be stupid. And most of the time, unfortunately, you prove that axiomatic truth that you're going to be morons to be correct. We had President Trump on the show yesterday.

1:10:07This is a really quick cut. He was gracious enough to come on. I really appreciate it. Working with him was amazing. But he said something yesterday. It was short. But there's a lot more there than I... Yeah, let me just play it and I'll talk about it on the other side. agree play that cut yeah yeah to be respected we did a great job we're respected all over the world I spoke with China he goes very impressive very impressive I spoke to Putin he goes wow that was something and that's what we want we have to be respected okay he's saying that for a reason now of course when you're a media moron you've already written the story the narrative in advance but before the interview even happened, you're already writing negative stories about President Trump.

1:10:59He's seeking approval from dictators, morons. Let me give you a little lowdown and dirty here. He does not care about the approval of dictators at all. He is a dealmaker who understands the net present value spreadsheet of power. He is totally transactional on this. He is getting briefed every day about existential threats from space, from the water, from sea, from land, from the electrical grid, everything. These are serious threats. And he understands that if these countries don't respect our power, it's kind of like, what do we used to call it before I left, the Brock Lesnar theory of international negotiations.

1:11:45The reason Brock Lesnar, you know, I'm WWE UFC guy. He's like six, seven, 400 pounds of muscle. The reason Brock Lesnar probably doesn't get into a lot of bar fights is because nobody wants to mess with Brock Lesnar. Nobody does. You see the guy walk in, they're like, wow, you think like fighter, even fighters don't want to fight him. Trump understands that if we don't project power, serious power, whether it's to a military budget, whether it's through this surgical operation on Maduro, and these countries don't respect us, they're going to do exactly what Putin did with Ukraine, which is invade, or maybe that can invade the continent of the United States, obviously, but take some kind of hostile action towards us.

1:12:34I've heard him talk. He's not saying that. Again, it just shows you how the media have framed, like the framing of things, how they frame things to constantly take potshots at this guy. He's saying it for a reason. He talks to these leaders completely different than you all here in the public discourse. You don't respect him in the United States, you're going to get a tongue lashing, and you've seen it in the Oval Office. By the way, we'll see what happens with Gustavo Petro from Colombia, who's at the White House today. I don't think they're doing anything publicly, but Petro better get his act together too.

1:13:15I'm telling you, the president is in a I take zero shit mode. Here's why though, put that Wall Street Journal article up. Here's why we need to be respected. I know again, the media, he's kissing their head. You don't know anything, morons. Folks, the AI and cyber attack threats. I was going to address this at the end of the show, but I'll address it now. Again, speaking in just high level atmospherics. this is real. It's not a joke. It's not the future. It's the now. These are very, very real threats. I've been discussing it on my show before I went to my job, the bureau job, and now that I'm back.

1:13:58These are very real threats. Some of them are mad type threats, mutually assured destruction type threats. If these countries do not respect us and do not fear President Trump's ability and willingness to respond, you don't want to wake up one day with the lights out. Trust me, you don't. So you can have 18-year-old Benny Jones at the freaking Washington Post taking a break from his tentacle porn routine to write about his national security ideas, or you could take the word of the president who's dealing with it every day. I'll take the latter. Folks, the threat is 360 degrees It's up, it's down, it's underwater, it's everywhere The president is dealing with level 10 decisions every day I talked to you about this yesterday When you're at that level Everything that comes to your desk is a level 10 decision Everything There's a shit decision and a shittier one That is it Every single level one through nine decision is already being solved at the assistant director, deputy assistant director level.

1:15:15If it's at your desk, it's a level 10. There is no good answer, period. Go release this information on this guy, knowing he may flee or don't release it, then he does another crime. That's just a really simple overview, but that would happen all the time. What do we do? What's the answer? The answer is you better use your best judgment. The president is dealing with the level 10s even his principals and deputies and cabinet members can't fix. I'm not telling you accountability doesn't matter, media people. I'm not telling you anyone's above criticism. I'm just telling you maybe you should know what you're talking about before you constantly harp on every little word the guy says.

1:15:58You know he speaks in a very discursive manner. here's another one the south china post article you understand the economic war going on right now against the united states they are trying to uproot our dollar as the reserve currency you have any idea what would happen to interest rates if that happens folks your mortgage would be 17 again you have any idea what's going on with that listen i don't i'm a principal guy on this stuff I've got to tell you, I've always told you, I'm not a huge believer in tariffs. But having seen how the president implements the tariff agenda to use it to get back to a freer, more fairer trade environment, I get it.

1:16:41Here was his true social post the other day on tariffs with India. There's the China article you can see trying to take away our reserve currency status. And the true social post he put up about Prime Minister Modi of India. He's using these tariffs as a strategic trade weapon to get us back to freer and fairer trade and to conduct diplomacy. You don't have to agree with it, but let's be honest. All the doomerism. I was not a tariff guy, folks. Listen, you go listen to my shows. I've just put in tariffs in the search box. I've talked about a lot. It was wrong. The economy is going to collapse.

1:17:17It's going to be negative 5%. That's bullshit. It was actually 4%. They're projecting 5 % next quarter. This is just the facts. I don't avoid facts when they're inconvenient for me. I just can't have a lot of this negativity, guys. Sapping everyone's energy. Accountability, transparency, of course. Hold everyone accountable. Ask questions. Asking questions is the guiding ethos of liberty and freedom. But my gosh, man, like let's have a realistic assessment of where we are and what we've done so we don't harm our own cause in this fruitless, cannibalistic endeavor to eat our own people alive. The doomers are taking advantage with the liberal media.

1:18:02They're like best buddies now of an effort to sabotage this movement from the inside. I have seen it. There's a lot of influence campaigns going on to fracture this movement from the inside. And the liberal media loves it. Here's a Hollywood Reporter piece about it. MAGA Civil War. They're not going to be a civil war. Taking this movement back, not the only one. It's not my movement, I'm part of a movement. MAGA versus MAGA. Who's reading the right-wing media meltdown? You see how these liberal media people, they love this. They love every second of it. And what I used to say on my radio show, on my podcast before I left, when your enemies, the Hollywood Reporter elsewhere, are writing about your things and they're doing something you want them to do, you don't want, they want you to, like, don't get in their way.

1:18:53When your enemies are screwing up, like, don't stop them. That's what they want. That's why they're all buddies. They, like, quote each other. You've seen it over and over again. This is why this matters in the midterms. Well, of course the midterms matter. They're elections. No, they really matter. If we lose these midterms, this president will be impeached. and the last two years, all of the great stuff, this is the setup here I just told you about, spent the last hour talking about, the economy, energy, GDP growth, war on cancer, productivity super cycles, national defense, crime rates, GDP explosions coming up.

1:19:32All of this stuff I told you about is going to be donezo, man. We're going to be dealing with an AOC-led impeachment for two years and a bunch of goons every day on TV. hey, Mr. President, do you drink a Diet Coke glass? I promise you it is going to shut down everything. We're going to lose all the chairmanships. We cannot sap the energy out of the room with an unrealistic, doomer-like atmosphere that nothing's happened when it's happened. I want you to watch this Harry Anton clip. He's a pollster over at CNN. Talk about the midterms and why they matter. It's not just House of Representatives and Senate seats.

1:20:09Third of the Senate's up, the entire House, obviously up every two years, House of Representatives. It's not just about that. There's a long-term realignment coming. That's going to be really good for the Republican Party. But it's not going to be good if in the short term, i.e. this election cycle, we don't get through this. Check this out. I'll explain on the other side. Now, this isn't just about the House of Representatives, right? It's also about the Electoral College because the number of electoral votes that each state gets is equal to the number of senators. Each state, of course, has two plus the number of House seats that they have.

1:20:42So what would this mean for the House of Representatives? Well, if you remember back in 2024, right, it was all about we were talking about the blue wall of Kamala Harris could win the baseline Democratic states and then add in the blue wall states of Michigan, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. she would get to 270 electoral votes. But if all of a sudden we in fact have applying the 2025 estimates, the population estimates to the Electoral College, the blue states plus the blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin would no longer be enough. Under the current estimates, you get to exactly 270 electoral votes, the minimum needed to win the Electoral College.

1:21:22If in fact you apply the 2025 estimates, look at that. you would only get to 263 electoral votes if you were a Democrat, which would mean a Republican victory. Now, of course, we're still a number of years away from reapportionment, right? We take the census come 2030. But what we can say so far is we got a red state boom going on, a blue state depression going on, people moving from the blue states to the red states. And if it holds for 2030, Well, it would make the Democratic nominee for president's job of winning the Electoral College that much more difficult. Folks, I get it. It's CNN, but I got to tell you, this guy's perspective, I don't I judge information.

1:22:06OK, I that's it. Harry Antin's information is absolutely accurate. Let me sum up what I'm about to tell you. The long term trends for the MAGA movement, the Republican Party and the conservative movement in general are spectacular. Why? Because people are moving out. I'm going to test Jim here. Jim, get ready. I'm going to see how sharp you are. We're going to see if Jim is in radio mode or if he's like a little foggy and needs some cobwebs. Jim, a lot of people are moving out of blue states. Why are they doing that? It's too expensive. nope he blew it freaking blew it you believe this guy holy moses he blew it the answer jim get on there yeah show them the answer because they want to come on are you guys in the audience doing that he blew it totally but why are they moving because they want to no he is right though sorry i i was a test the test sometimes you blow it but everybody define i was like a union and the chat the mcgroins get very upset jim's everybody But again, I love you, McGregor, too.

1:23:13But because they want to. People are moving. So let's break this down, what Harry Anton's saying. First long term, 2030, which by my counts, a few years away, a couple election cycles. By 2030, so many people are going to move out of blue states because? They want to. Thank you. Because they suck. Because they're led by hair gel over in California. And by the way, Gav, you're welcome for cleaning up your cities when you wouldn't do it. I know he attacked me on Twitter when I was there. I went back at him a little bit with my FBI account, but now I can go back. You're full of shit. You're welcome for cleaning up your cities for you.

1:23:50You got it. So you got hair gel out in California. You got Ozempic out there in Illinois. I mean, you got this total goon squad. You got Big Gretch out there in Michigan and stuff. People are leaving these places, Illinois and California. Not so sure about the Michigan population trends, but Illinois, California, Kathy Hochul up in New York, and they're moving conveniently to states. These people are leaving and they are moving conveniently to red states led by conservative governors, the great state of Florida, Texas, Tennessee and elsewhere. It's not an accident. People are leaving your liberal bullshit and moving to conservative states.

1:24:34You can argue all day correlation, causation, why they're moving. The fact is they're moving. Long-term trends. So the way the House of Representatives works is every district is roughly 700 ,000 plus people. If you fall below on the 10-year, they do it every 10 years, the reapportionment. If you fall below a certain threshold, whatever it may be, 700, 680, whatever it may be, that particular year. You lose a House seat. And why are they losing a lot of House seats? Because people are leaving your states, dude. The U-Haul's like, you can't even find a damn U-Haul. And they are moving. Now, given that every House of Representatives seat is based on representative population, as red state populations explode, they get more members of Congress.

1:25:30That's what Ed was talking about. But it's not just congressional representation that changes. The Electoral College, how we win the presidency, getting the 270, 270 electoral votes, that is based on your two senators, every state gets two, obviously, and your number of House of Representatives. So whatever you have, whatever, 29, 30, you add two into two senators, that's your 32 electoral votes. You get places like Florida, Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania that start turning red. The Democrats don't have a mathematical pathway. That's what he was talking about with the blue wall, long term to win the presidency.

1:26:06It's just pure math. It's not there. They just don't have the math.

1:26:14Long term sounds great. The problem, as an infamous economist once said, is in the long term, we're all dead. We live in the short term and we live in the now. And we've got elections coming up like now, like this year. We have got to get through the short term first. Folks, we cannot have, I'm not telling you to not hold people, I can't say that enough. Keeps everybody on their toes, me included, on the show. I'm just telling you, we have to be realistic about this first year. There were 100 wins for every four or five, I don't even call them losses, but things that are taking a while. I don't want people out there going, oh man, I'm not voting, nothing like that.

1:27:02That's bullshit and you know it. We have got to get through this year. Because if we don't get through 2028 this year and get to 2030, we could be in a lot of trouble. We cannot deal with another BS impeachment. They're going to, they're going to impeach you for anything. He tied his shoes wrong. We don't really like that. So definitely a high crime and misdemeanor. You know, it's going to happen. The country doesn't have time for it. I just told you there were really persistent, deadly, everyday national security threats, economic threats to the dollar, trade war threats. We don't have time for this.

1:27:43All right, this show's been really serious today outside of a couple Dan Bongino comedy breaks or whatever. But I definitely need to lighten this one up a little bit. I told you I wasn't leaving today without the House. Just breaking news on Fox. House is holding a test vote on that government spending bill. You know we're in a partial government shutdown over DHS funding. By the way, we've held over 100 ,000 people for the last hour and a half, 115 ,000. That is unbelievable. I love you guys so much, really. I mean, I feel like I know so many of you. Thank you, guys. In the chat, thank you. I really appreciate it.

1:28:24It means the world. I will never take you guys for granted. Look at me. Fokker, look at me. Seen the movie. I love you guys. Best. here's that story I was telling you about before this freaking weirdo on MSNBC is like in love with me Nicole Wallace Nicole Wallace goes off on freaking joke Dan Bajino, colon wears t-shirts that are obviously too small Zachary Lehman this was December 28th Nicole, I'm not, again stop asking I'm not going out we're not going to Nobu on a Friday night for some Wagyu hot rock steak. It's not happening. I know you've got this quiet little kind of boiling bunny obsession.

1:29:12I get it. We know you're a weirdo. We get it from your 20 listeners on MSCBNBNBC. What's it called now, by the way? MS Now? MS Now? MSNOW? I get it. Nikki, the answer is no. Sweetcakes, I'm not going out on a date with you. I know you're constantly commenting about my shirt size and whatever. I don't know what else. I am not doing it. The answer is a flat no. I don't know what size this is, but I promise I'll make it smaller for you tomorrow. There are people out there who cannot get me out of their heads. I see them. They can't stop. I said to you yesterday, the greatest superpower in the world is the power to command attention.

1:30:08I learned a lot of lessons about that over the last year. That's why Trump is so powerful. No one's got a bigger microphone. It's the greatest superpower in the world. I'm not kidding. Even more powerful than I think the presidency, that's why he has both, is the power to command attention. And my enemies, man, do I have yours. You just can't stop every day. I'm not going to tell you I hate it. It's good for me. But I don't solicit it either. Every day. Stu Thompson reached out yesterday, right, from the New York Times, reached out to producer Jim for his 10 ,000th piece on Dan Bongino. This guy, I better be in your will, Stewie.

1:30:43So Jim sent him back a response. And I noticed he only put – Jim, what was the response you sent back? Do you have that on your phone? Yeah. What did the response say? Do you remember? He wanted some – he's like, Dad, I think you have a lot ahead of me. whatever yes yes

1:31:07yes thank you Jim that was the exact quote it was like thank you for reaching out go fuck yourself we're back and he puts in the article in the New York Times Dan Bongino spokesman responded we're back no no that's not how we responded Stu you can share the email you can put the go fuck yourself in there too they can't stop so to the Bongino army the McRoyne crew on my staff. That's it. That's the email. Jim was nice enough to not dox his email. That is the exact email. Do you guys have that ready to go? Thanks for the questions. Go fuck yourself. We're back. There you go, Stewie. Stewie. Does he have pronouns in there?

1:31:44Xi Zhao? Did he have them in there? In his thing? We don't care. Well, actually, we do care. We just like, you guys are like obsessed. We don't spend a second thinking about Stewie. We use them for show content, but they can't stop with us. Nicole, his shirt size is too small. Why are you thinking about that? It's kind of weird, isn't it? Besides, it was a joke. I'm from Queens. Everything went small. Schmediums. Here was one I saw when I was in there, talking about before how these clowns and jokers, they will write a story about anything as long as my name is in it because they know there's money to be made.

1:32:25It is just an entire clickbait enterprise written around the whole Bongino Inc. operation here. Put up that Washington Post article. This one, I rarely laughed about stuff because it was a serious job. But this one, this headline was freaking hilarious. I read this in the Washington Post. It's a real story, by the way. This was December 12th of last year, so not that long ago. Washington Post. Secret meeting. Jim, secret meeting. secret this is a real headline folks if you're listening on apple spotify secret meetings between fbi and ukraine negotiators spark concern wait keep it up i gotta read the sub headline director cash patel and his deputy dan bongino met with the top piece negotiator in a pressure campaign and a war i read this someone sends it to me i'm like secret meeting i'm like the meeting that was on my public schedule, you can probably FOIA that was attended by, and I think the Ukrainians took a picture.

1:33:27Like, what the fuck are you guys? Are you guys? Just to be clear, to the Washington Post dipshits that wrote that piece, who's on that? What's his name? Like, is that the Benny Jones we were talking about before? Or Brian Jones or whatever that? Whoever wrote that piece, do you guys like, do you think the FBI, like, God forbid, Jim, you think the FBI is an interest in meeting with foreign law enforcement folks and everything. Just throwing that out there. A little bit, maybe. Happens, probably met with about 20, 30 foreign partners about law enforcement stuff. The Ukrainians, we had a meeting about like drones and the threat and stuff.

1:34:06They took a picture. It was on the schedule. There were like interpreters, people that were secret. Here's the best part. The meeting wasn't even in the secret part of headquarters. It was in like the dining room. These people are such clowns. Who is it? John Hudson? Siobhan O 'Grady? Oh, Perry Stein. Perry Stein's back. Secret meetings. This is why I like reaching out for comments. I don't have a... How do you argue with stupid secret meetings? Secret meetings. I love that thing too. Acting like I was negotiating a peace deal with Ukraine. Folks, listen. For as important as my job was, and I'm very proud of it, I was not negotiating a freaking peace deal with Ukraine.

1:34:48I'm not Marco Rubio Secretary Hegseth or the President of the United States Donald J. Trump Jim President hey Dan can you negotiate the end of the war in Ukraine you know I don't know Mr. President do you think he I love my job it was a great job loved every minute do you oh whatever can't even take this shit no more with these idiots

1:35:15remember though yesterday I was discussing with you how they set up these media narratives too. This was another example when I was in there of how exactly this went down. Here is my good friend, the great Julie Kelly, who I'd love to death, who has done so much on J6 and elsewhere. Julie put out this tweet. I read this media report. It was in the New York Post. And they're like, FBI whistleblower. By the way, anyone who declare an FBI whistleblower, you better be sure. Some of them are. Some of them aren't. You better be sure they're blowing the whistle on stuff because read their backgrounds a lot of them.

1:35:49A lot of these new like FBI whistleblowers are Ray and Comey era people who are just looking to sabotage this whole reform agenda. So there was this piece that came out in the New York Post and they were like, oh my gosh, we don't like cash and then boo-hoo, oh gosh, whatever, more whining, more bullshit. So Julie, of course, started going through their key findings of these quote whistleblowers, this total clown show who were just pissed off that me and Cash had to let people go and 10 % of the workforce turned over. A lot of just didn't like our leadership and our new agenda. Well, too bad. Then find a new job.

1:36:28They noted, according to multiple sources across the country, members of the FBI workforce responded negatively to very negatively to orders compelling them to assist ICE with locating and taking into custody illegal immigrants for deportation out of the United States. To all the good guys who did the work, great. To all the bad guys, thank you. To all the bad guys who whined about it. Here's another one. Thank you for highlighting this. They note, and this is the whistleblowers, by the way, the Ray Comey era disgruntled the zeros, that nobody at the FBI knew anything about ICE rules and regulations.

1:37:06FBI management, us, responded by telling FBI agents to let ICE take the lead. This is an actual whistleblower thing. Hey, we didn't know shit about federal law and immigration. You're the freaking FBI. It's the Federal Bureau of Investigation. You do not, you're not independent. You want to be independent, whatever your name is. Your name's John Smith? Go start John Smith, Inc. You don't like John Smith, Inc.? You want to work at the FBI? The FBI works for the Department of Justice, who is headed by an attorney general picked by the president, confirmed by the Senate. The Department of Justice falls under the executive branch under the president of the United States.

1:37:44There were criminals in the country who were here illegally. Cash and I, at the direction of the president and the attorney general, said to our guys, we are going to help get these people out because we're the freaking FBI. And what do they do? They go whining to the New York Post. We didn't want to do it. We didn't know shit. Well, you better get to know shit because this is what we do. And you're damn freaking right we were going to help in that endeavor. And that's why the violent crime rate is the lowest it's been in American history and the murder rate plunge. because a lot of these people who are here doing really bad shit were here illegally.

1:38:21Whistleblowers. We don't want to do my stuff. I don't give a shit. And thank you to the guys and ladies you did. You did an amazing job. There's a small group of malcontents. We don't like the immigration agenda. Nobody gives a shit.

1:38:42run for president yourself you can appoint a new attorney general i love how the media ignores all i cannot believe they all and by the way the allocation of fbi agents we used to assist in getting illegal criminals and rapists and drug dealers out of the country was very reasonable compared to the entire workload dedicated to CT, counter espionage and other things. And the numbers back it up. Counter espionage arrests were up. Counter terrorism arrests were up. So you can shut the, you don't know what you're talking about, these media group clown whistleblowers. What'd you think? I wasn't going to come back on the air and call you morons out?

1:39:27We didn't know anything about immigration. It's your freaking job to know things. that one was hilarious. And thank you, Julie, for picking it out. Did we have another one on that? That whistleblower thing? Wasn't there another? Yeah, there is. Okay, thank you. Here's another one. Ray Comey era malcontents. All pissy about how new management was there. You don't like it? Quit. I left the Secret Service. I went and ran for office. That's fine. You don't have to stay. You're working for the taxpayer. They're not working for you. I don't like doing immigration. Good. Find another freaking job. Here was another whistleblower complaint in the New York Post piece that covered this.

1:40:14They note that diversion of personnel away from national security mission. By the way, that's totally made up and absolute bullshit on its face. But here's the quote. Wait, put that back up again. I want to read the quote. Yeah, there. If left unaddressed, this will lead to cascading national security threats. Oh, my God. ultimately compromising the security of our country. Another source, by the way, never named themselves, similarly reported, diverting FBI special agents in this way will harm our national security and serve as an additional blow to the FBI. Counter-espionage arrests were up.

1:40:54Counter-terrorism arrests were up. The violent crime rate, which is a national security problem, is the lowest it's ever been. The homicide rate is the lowest it's ever been. Gang arrests were up. 7-6-4, child, these people who terrorize our children in this sick network were up. You guys are just full of shit. You don't know what you're, do you know how many man hours we spent, Cash and I, in the director and deputy director's conference room, strategically water ballooning and moving manpower around to make sure we got all of the missions done the right way? Clowns, man. Total clowns. But it's like I said yesterday, and I'll wrap up with this.

1:41:42Folks, when you're at that level, and you're at the president's level, the president is dealing with level 10 problems every day that people in his cabinet and his principals and deputies, even they didn't have an answer for. The guy's got a lot on his plate. This is a republic. You are free and welcome to comment on anything you want to comment about, as long as you're not breaking along threatening someone's life. That happened to me, by the way, when I was in there, which is weird. Thank God we had a security detail. Freaking weird. A lot of weirdos came out of the woodwork. I'm just telling you in the context of this show, this has been an amazing year.

1:42:25Can you do things better? You can always do things better. but perspective and context matter. The guy, the president, is dealing with massive headwinds, judicial nullification, jury nullification, a Democrat party that wants to see this guy impeached for nothing. I mean, for zero, just going to make it up. He's dealing with a bunch of blue state governors who don't want to help him do, matter of fact, they want to see him fail. he's dealing with a lot and this year has been epic epic and there's more to come not just from him but from his FBI his CIA and everyone else he does not pick his people by accident nothing happening is happening by accident I told you many times just because you don't see something's happening don't mean they're not happening and when a lot of those things you say aren't happening happen, you won't even eat the crow.

1:43:26You'll just move on to something else. It's been an amazing year. Amazing year. I hope everyone is getting ready for the midterms now because we can't lose them.
