RFKage Match! Kennedy Destroys Corrupt Senators In Wild Hearing | Episode 119

21:24Dan Bongino:Secretary Kennedy, I take so much PharmaCash. I do whatever they want all the time, just like everybody else on this Vegas. So why are you attacking me?

Thank you to Patriot Mobile for being awesome. OK. All right. So just a couple a couple more quick ones. But I just think that the RFK hearing, it just was so thrilling. I loved everything about it because you had all these Democrats who were put in their place yesterday. RFK did a great job. There was a here's here's RFK explaining that there was a CDC scientist who was actually destroying data in the agency related to the incidence of autism among black boys.

24:15Dan Bongino:clearly because the researchers wanted to keep administering a vaccine and use this idea that if people found out that black children in particular were being hurt even worse, then it'd be a big scandal. So let's just erase the data. That was the conclusion. Listen to RFK detailing a pretty horrific thing. Here he is, cut eight yesterday. In 2002, CDC did an internal study of Atlanta and Fulton County, Georgia children and looked at children who got the MMR vaccine on time and compared those to kids who got them later. So, in other words, kids who got them before 36 months and kids who got them afterward.

25:01The data from that study showed that black boys who got the vaccine on time had a 260 % greater chance of getting an autism diagnosis than children who waited. it. The chief scientist on that, Dr. William Thompson, the senior vaccine safety scientist at CDC, was ordered to come into a room with four other co-offers by his boss, Frank DiStefano, who's the head of the immunization safety press, and ordered to destroy that data. And then they published it without that fact.

25:42that is horrifying totally horrifying and par for the course for a corrupt government health establishment that again has led to an america that's a lot less healthy now than it's ever been so what are we to conclude from all of that rfk has promised that this month he is going to release information on their findings within his agency about whatever sort of impact medicine and all these treatments may have on autism numbers. He said, we're taking a close look at the causes of autism, which, as he's pointed out, has exploded in the United States over the years, and they'd like to figure out why.

26:25And they believe that they already have some of the answers on that subject, so he'll be releasing a full report on that. I will immediately tell you what's going to happen, which is the media is not going to treat this report with any degree of seriousness. They're going to condemn it as pseudoscience. They're going to call it a hoax right away. And meanwhile, all of their segments are going to be sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. So, of course, you have this inherent, ridiculous conflict of interest that makes you the absolute worst mediator on whether or not there's truth and accuracy to this government report.

27:00So you're going to be served a huge dose of hysteria and lies immediately. But I look forward to whatever it is that RFK presents.

27:08Dan Bongino:And as always, no matter what, and this is the message that he keeps laying out there. So, of course, I expect him to live up to it. It needs to simply be guided by gold standard science. It has to be guided by accuracy, credible, replicatable science. That's the key here. And so, yeah, I'll approach this with all the sobriety in the world. I'm looking forward to what RFK wants to share with the rest of us. But the media will not be sober about this. They will be drunken and hysterical. Expect that as usual. All right. We've got another clip here that is so crazy. I've got a couple of, let me see here.

27:51I just want to make sure I've got the right thing. Here is, let's go to cut 11. This is RFK smacking Senator Ben Ray Lujan around yesterday. That sets up the next clip, which is even crazier. Here's RFK and Democrat Senator Lujan. Mr. Kennedy, you hired a man named David Geyer to conduct this study. Is that correct? No. Is Mr. David Geyer working for HHS? He's a contractor, but he's conducting the study. He's a contractor? He's a contractor. Do you know who works for you, Mr. Kennedy? Yeah. Did you know he never went to medical school? He's not practicing medicine. Did you know that he got caught in Maryland and was charged for practicing medicine without a medical license?

28:40He was charged by a medical board. He sued the medical board, and the medical board was found to have acted in actual malice and was fined$2.6 million by a judge in Maryland for doing that. See, so you choose to know a lot when you want to know a lot. It's incredible, Mr. Kennedy. Senator, you're ridiculous. So here's the question I have. You brought him in to do this study. I think there's no question about it. I told you he's not doing a study. Is he participating in the study? No. Is he doing any analysis in regards to this study? No. What he's doing is getting access to the Vaccine Safety Data Link, which is the biggest repository for vaccine information that your friend would not give us for seven months.

29:27Dan Bongino:I can't even love it more. So one of the other advantages that RFK has is he has such a mastery of the facts. And as Senator Lujan tries to put him into this scandal, did you know that your guy was charged with a crime? And RFK comes back and goes, no, no, no, no. Yeah, he was charged. And then he came back and then he sued the jackasses who did it. and he won a massive settlement because they violated the law. So you notice that the senator, the Democrat, left that detail entirely out, and it was up to RFK to just drop the elbow on top of him from the top rope to explain how corrupt this line of questioning was.

30:07Great stuff. I mean, honestly, and this is a reminder, kids, do your homework. You have to know your stuff before you go into these hearings and he definitely does and so senator lujan was so grumpy about how

30:22Dan Bongino:outmaneuvered he was by rfk jr yesterday that there was this bizarre moment where he said i was going to give you my starfish and now i'm not going to give you my starfish i'm sorry what is this cut nine senator lujan acting like a weirdo look two young ladies in las cruces de mexico to town hall recently gave me this starfish pin. I was going to give it to you today, but after your questioning today, I don't think you deserve it because what this represents is to remember that every one of us can make a difference, sir, to something as small as a starfish on a beach that maybe got washed up, you throw it back in the ocean.

30:59You might not save them all, but you can save one. I'm sorry that you're not worthy of this nice little pin, sir, as a nice reminder. I'm going we do better. I want you to do better. But today was a failure for you, man. I yield back. Senator Warnock.

31:19What a starfish that guy is.

31:22Dan Bongino:Unreal. Unreal. I can't even believe that happened yesterday. I was going to give you my starfish, but now you don't get to have it. Okay. How did you become a United States Senator? That's what I want to know. That's wild. Alright, so that's that's what happened yesterday that was the the rfk hearing uh which um was just completely absurd i've got some other elements that i want to get to today uh we've got uh the the president of the united states is taking on the cartels they're killing the people who are killing americans this is all i want the military to do is to kill bad guys who are trying to kill us that's that's great so we're doing that and um i've got that for you also the department of justice is apparently flirting with banning transgender mentally ill people from acquiring guns in the United States.

We've been we've been killing the bad guys. And rightfully so. You know, look, there's the Venezuelans who were trying to Venezuelan Trendy Aragua gang members trying to bring drugs into the United States. And earlier this week, the the Trump administration, President Trump ordered a strike on that fast boat, destroying it and then sharing the footage with the world.

35:25This is obviously a good move because it directly affects the United States of America. We're losing over 100000 Americans a year due to these drugs. The president would like to see that stop. So would everybody who voted for him. But the left is raging about this. Take a look at Cut 12.

35:41Dan Bongino:Here's MSNBC absolutely raging that President Trump took out some people who are killing over 100 ,000 Americans a year. It's alarming. It's unprecedented. And it's dangerous. And it's the latest example of how Trump continues to overextend and abuse military power. I think it's maybe the most important and one of the most underreported stories in America right now. Not only did they kill 11 people, allegedly, they put American troops at risk. American troops could have died, Right. And any time you put American troops at risk, you owe the American public an explanation as to why. There is absolutely no accountability right now.

36:15There is no transparency. And there's the old saying, you know, first send the country to war, then send the troops. We keep sending the troops first without getting the country behind them, whether it's National Guard deployments in Washington, D.C., in Chicago or strikes like this. And we are going into literally now uncharted territory.

36:32Dan Bongino:What a maroon. OK, so he's angry about this. Why would you be angry about this? The president didn't explain it. The president broadcast the footage to the planet. This wasn't a secret. They revealed that we struck these guys. And why? It is squarely in the American interest to defend the American homeland. It is the principal use of the United States military. So I don't know what this guy's going on about, but that's the quality of guests that they've been bringing on MSNBC. Meanwhile, MSNBC never raised any objections to Barack Obama drone striking American citizens in faraway lands. That never came up.

37:11But here, when the president of the United States is killing off terrorists who are bringing drugs into our country to kill over 100 ,000 Americans a year, now it's a problem? Spare us the lectures. It's a little much. It's a little much. things with Venezuela are getting there. Venezuela is getting chippy. Let's just put it that way.

37:33Dan Bongino:Venezuelans getting a little chippy right now because their position is that what we shouldn't defend ourselves. So here's what we have yesterday. The Venezuelans buzzed one of our naval ships. Let me show you a New York post story to this effect. Here is, here's the piece. the two venezuelan military aircraft flew over a u.s navy ship in what they're referring to as a highly provocative move a highly provocative move the pentagon says a u.s navy ship conducting counter drug operations was interfered with thursday when two venezuelan military aircraft flew over the vessel this is according to the department of defense the maneuver described by the Pentagon is highly provocative comes two days after U.S.

38:23forces attacked that Trende Aragua drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean, killing 11 narco terrorists. The Pentagon released a statement. They said today to Maduro regime aircraft flew near a U.S. Navy vessel in international waters. This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco terror operations the cartel running venezuela is strongly advised not to pursue any further effort to obstruct deter or interfere with counter narcotics and counter terror operations carried out by the u.s military the aircraft involved were reportedly f-16 fighter jets according to cbs so f-16s from venezuela keep that in mind for a moment that'll come in that'll that'll be important in in just a second the outlet also reports that the uss jason dunham an Aegis guided missile destroyer, was the vessel being harassed by the Venezuelan military.

39:19All right.

39:20Dan Bongino:So we get Venezuelan F-16s that think they're going to somehow threaten us, put on a show, that they're going to make us rattle in our boots, that they're flying near us because what? We killed off a bunch of gangsters who have been killing Americans? I don't think that's going to happen. In fact, the update this morning is that the Trump administration is now moving F-35s, F-35 jets into Puerto Rico to stage them in operations against the drug cartels, two sources briefed on the matter have said, in a move likely to, quote, inflame tensions in the region. That's what Reuters claims today. Let me just break this down in my understanding of what we're dealing with.

40:09And for some of you in the chat, you'll have a much better understanding than I do, but here's what we know. An F-35 versus an F-16 is not a close contest. There is no situation here where an F-16 is going to win. The F-35 can detect and destroy that plane over the horizon. Let me put it differently. Before the F-16 can even see the F-35. The F-16 is gone. That's what we're talking about here. There is nothing like the American military. There is nothing like American air power. We're done with that shit. And if the, if, yeah, you know, if these guys want to play that game, it's going to end very poorly for them.

40:51So the Venezuelan government, the Venezuelan military should be very careful about the game that they're playing right now. Because the whole point of this operation that the United States is undertaking

41:04Dan Bongino:is to defend the American homeland from the threats that are killing Americans. What else is the military supposed to do? What is the job of the American military? It's to kill bad guys who would do us harm. And that's what we're up to right now. So this is the developing story this morning worth keeping an eye on as Venezuela thinks they can get a little chippy with us. That is not going to work out well. And obviously the president decided right away, OK, fine, I'm sending F-35 to Puerto Rico. They're on the move. We have a lot of naval vessels floating in that direction as well to fight off these cartel operations.

41:45Meanwhile, more of these gangsters are being designated this morning as terror organizations. Marco Rubio coming out overnight. The U.S. has added two more gangs to the terror list in the war against these vicious animals, says Marco Rubio. The U.S. added two more foreign drug gangs to the foreign terrorist organization list. The State Department announced Thursday, I'm quoting here from The Daily Caller, two Ecuadorian gangs, Los Choneros and Los Lobos, will now also be treated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. government, according to the State Department.

42:20Dan Bongino:quote the united states in partnership with ecuador and its president daniel noboa will continue to protect our two nations by keeping illicit drugs off of our streets and disrupting the revenue streams funding drug cartels terrorism and criminal activity that's the state department in its announcement today's action further demonstrates the trump administration's unwavering commitment to eliminating cartels ensuring the safety of the american people You know, I know that one of the obvious open questions that we've had is when are we going to see military action against the cartels? This is definitely something that's been on the mind of Trump supporters and the president himself, clearly.

42:58And now we're beginning to see this. The left, of course, has instantly taken the 3 % position here. The 97-3, they're going with the 3. The 99-1, they're going with the 1. If Trump is for it, they're against it. If it involves protecting Americans from the cartels, the left is against it. So we're just going to have to barrel on without their support as usual. But fascinating, fascinating to watch and good to see that the if we're going to flex military muscle, that we do it directly for the interest of Americans. So that's the that's the update on that. Now, speaking of the United States military, I do have another big piece of news for you today.

43:34It appears that we will get an official announcement today to rename the Pentagon.

43:41Dan Bongino:We're not going to be calling it the Department of Defense anymore. Instead, we're restoring it to the name that it held for most of its existence in our country to the Department of War. We're getting the Department of War back. Now, here is here's the Fox News headline on the subject. Trump to rename the Pentagon restoring historic Department of War and latest military move, which is pretty epic. And they say the president is signing an executive order today, Friday. And he's got, by the way, an announcement from the from the Oval Office at around 4 p.m. Eastern time today. And I assume that this is what that will be, as well as another press conference of some kind.

44:21He's signing the executive order. He's going to alter the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War,

44:26Dan Bongino:reverting the agency to its former name. Both Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have recently indicated they do want to change the name of the agency. It's one of several initiatives that the Trump administration has spearheaded as a part of its Warrior Ethos campaign. A White House official just confirmed to Fox on Thursday that Trump would roll out the name change today. that executive order does call for using the Department of War, they say, as a, quote, secondary title for the Department of Defense. So we'll see whether or not there's some sort of statutory limitation that gets in the way of everything being fully changed.

45:02And they want to use the phrase Secretary of War for Pete Hegseth, according to a White House fact sheet.

45:08Dan Bongino:So that's fun. So we'll have now War Secretary Hegseth going forward and the Department of War is restored. Now, one of the insane critiques I've seen of this already from the left and from rhino types is there goes President Trump. I thought he wanted to keep us out of wars. Why is he calling it the Department of War? He loves war, doesn't he? Lied to us. He's such an authoritarian. What a fascist. He wants to get us involved in war. That's why he's calling it the Department of War. no you idiots you complete morons that is not the point of this first of all the department of war is a true statement it is a reflection of reality what job does that agency engage in war fighting so why don't we just call it what it is war department of defense is a euphemism for what it really accomplishes, which is fighting war.

46:11Dan Bongino:So let's start by telling the truth. Secondly, the Department of Defense euphemism, this idea that we just say that it's, oh, this innocent defensive organization, and just let's just call it that, diminishes the human toll of war. It doesn't make you think as sincerely about the costs of war. If you name the agency accurately, it has the effect of reminding the American people of the gravity of its purpose, that human life is on the line, that human life truly matters. These are our fellow citizens who have volunteered to wear the uniform and perhaps pay the ultimate sacrifice to defend their country.

46:58Dan Bongino:If we're honest about what this agency does, then we will be able to reckon with the human cost that goes along with it. Let's call it the Department of War. It's good. It's a good thing. And it's not about becoming ludicrously hawkish or engaging in ridiculous foreign adventurism. It's about reminding the American people of what the job is. So the Department of War is good. And it's a restoration of what it was called for almost its entire history up until after World War II, which, you know, just in case you were wondering, we won the wars while it was called the Department of War. That is the case.

47:39We do have the, we do have here, cut 10, there's a now Secretary of War, Pete Hagseth, talking about this on Fox this week. Take a look. Cut 10. We won World War I and we won World War II, not with the Department of Defense, but with a war department, with the Department of War. As the president has said, we're not just defense, we're offense. We're reestablishing at the department the warrior ethos. We want warriors, folks that understand how to exact lethality on the enemy. We don't want endless contingencies and just playing defense. We think words and names and titles matter. So we're working with the White House and the president on it.

48:21stand by, but we might have some new signage here right over here eventually. We'll look forward to it. That's great. Yeah, and also you've got to wonder what it's going to do for morale and for recruitment and for the sorts of dudes that you want to welcome into the United States military, encouraged to join up and be a part of warfighting efforts. So anyway, today, another restoration to the country that is so sharp. I love it. The Department of War, good to see it coming back. Good job by the president of the United States. We expect a big announcement today from the White House on that subject.

48:57Dan Bongino:Let me now go to this this thing about whether or not we can stop transgender mentally ill people from being armed. That brings us to a story today. The Department of Justice is considering. A transgender gun ban, reportedly, after that Catholic school massacre last week. I'm going to give you the Daily Caller version of this. Here we go. Here, the DOJ considers transgender gun ban after Catholic school massacre. And Chad, I'd love to get your take on all of this because you can kind of see where there's some peril in this move. And I'll get into that in a moment. But what they say is this. The Department of Justice is considering blocking those identifying as transgender from buying firearms.

49:43after a trans-identifying male opened fire on children at a Catholic school in Minnesota on August 27th, multiple outlets reporting on Thursday. Robin Westman, a man identifying as a woman, killed two children while they attended mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, wounded 21 others, and then fatally shot himself. That massacre, along with other recent attacks carried out by trans people, has heightened concerns about that connection between transgenderism and mental illness and violence.

50:12Dan Bongino:So the goal of the potential ban is to, quote, ensure that mentally ill individuals suffering from gender dysphoria are unable to obtain firearms while they are unstable and unwell, a DOJ official told CNN. that. Court records show that the alleged gunman's mother, of course, signed off on a name change from Robert Paul to Robin M while he was still a minor. And they go on and on. They say that he blamed his transgenderism, weed and disapproval from his mother for his mental illness, according to writing that was translated by the New York Post. So let me let me just cover some of the issues that exist here.

50:51One, we don't want the government to broadly assess what they think

50:58Dan Bongino:qualifies as mental illness to disarm you. Okay. So that's, that's, that's one area because you know what'll happen. If Democrats control the government and they desperately want to take your guns away by any means necessary, but if Democrats control the government, they will use any vehicle, including vehicles that we create in order to disarm you. And one population that the left has wanted to disarm for a long time is American military veterans. Military veterans. Some of whom experience the traumas of war and then come home and have things like PTSD. If the left can try and exploit that to disarm Americans, they will.

51:36Dan Bongino:They're going to do it. So one, I'm always on guard for anything that begins with how do we disarm a certain category of American always on guard immediately. Another piece here is you want something common sense to control. How about we get common sense hormone control? How about we get common sense doctor control? Common sense medical industry control? There is no excuse for chopping up human beings inside of medical facilities for no reason that has to do with health and everything that has to do with exacerbating mental illness. Let's stop that in its tracks. Let's stop injecting people full of cross-sex hormones that have nothing to do with health and everything to do with enhancing their delusions and driving them into a state of unhealth.

52:33Dan Bongino:Let's stop that. that. Let's stop demonizing mental help that is designed to help people out of a situation where they think that they were born in the wrong body. Why would we do that? So if we want to tackle something for real that stops all of this mental illness from getting worse, let's cut it off at its source. Let's stop the establishment from enabling it. That's what we need to do. Desperately. Now, one thing, one kind of hilarious effect of this suggestion, where the Trump administration comes out, this is so classic, and they say, we want to ban trannies from getting guns. There's an amazing thing that's happening right now.

53:20The left are debating how they push back on this. Because remember that the corner the left has backed itself into. They want to disarm everybody. Their goal is to disarm everybody. but they have carve outs for mentally ill lefties they do in fact the position of the left is that transgender people should serve at war i was just talking about people who are deployed to war the left wants transgender people people who have these crazy delusions about which body that they were born into to be handed actual weapons of war actual weapons of war and serve in combat

53:58Dan Bongino:They say that has to happen. They're angry that President Trump is stopping that. That's their position on this subject. And so right now, one of the debates that I'm seeing already online is that you have lefties who are arguing that maybe they need to become Second Amendment absolutists to protect the trannies who they want to see armed. Isn't that wild? It's unreal. So suddenly the president of the United States has figured out a way to make the left into second amendment purists what if we ban trannies from getting guns no no no shall not be infringed the left starts screeching i i think that i mean it's so funny you know even everything the trump administration does every single time including the things we're like whoa what are they doing you know like whatever the debates are people debating about whether or not you know burning a flag should be entitled to free speech protections all of that.

54:56Every single time the Trump administration steps forward, they do it under

55:00Dan Bongino:the guise of, look, people hate flag burning. Flag burning is disgusting. You're a scumbag if you're burning the American flag, unless you're doing a reverent disposal the way, say, the Boy Scouts do or local veterans organizations. But if you're burning it out of contempt for our country, you're a scumbag. Everybody agrees on that point. And so the president will put out a policy about this. And it just reminds people of how valuable the stars and stripes are to normal Americans who love their country and how vile it is to destroy it. And then the left proves that they're vile by doing the thing that president condemns is that that shouldn't happen.

55:37Dan Bongino:The left instantly goes out and they burn flags. And then the effect of that is that people are like, well, I know I'm not with the crazy people. I'm with Trump. I'm with defending the stars and stripes. That's the effect of this. And so now yet again, when the president steps forward, when his administration steps forward and goes, hey, how can we ban trammies from getting guns? And then the left instantly exposes itself and then instantly starts taking up pro Second Amendment rights positions. President Trump is one of the great clarifiers of our time. It's just amazing. I know we talk about things like 4D chess.

56:09Dan Bongino:He is outmaneuvering the left like crazy here. So again, I don't think the government should be in the business of picking what they think is a mental health condition to prevent people from exercising their Second Amendment rights. I do think that we should be absolutely prosecuting any doctor who is doing this disgusting stuff where they're chopping up children, chopping up humans, injecting them full of hormones and not doing anything to advance their health and working against the Hippocratic oath, which is do no harm, which of course these left these these lefty doctors are doing harm, supported by lefty medical organizations.

56:45Dan Bongino:That needs to stop. You want to stop mentally ill people from shooting up schools? Help mentally ill people before things get too far. Don't make things worse. That's the answer to this. And in the meantime, do everything you can to support law-abiding citizens being armed and, of course, safe and well-trained to protect themselves and their families. By the way, that latter part, that's on us. We have to be safe and well-trained. You have to take your kids to the range, teach them how to shoot, give them respect, proper respect for a deadly weapon, all of those things. But the answer here is clearly to stop the transgender cult in its tracks.

57:30That's the answer here, not to further make excuses for it of any kind. Stop mental illness and ban all Democrats, says Al John. Thank you, Al John. I think you summarized it nicely. As always, thank you so much for
