Shifty Schiff Gets Caught Red Handed| Episode 102

24:14Dan Bongino:And perhaps that was with some degree of confidence. That if Hillary Clinton won, maybe she had already promised Adam Schiff that he'd be the guy. That he would run the Central Intelligence Agency. Senator Adam Schiff, then the top Democrat of the House Intel Committee, authorized these leaks, having assumed he would lead the CIA in a Hillary Clinton administration, according to the whistleblower. The unidentified male source who worked as a Democrat staffer on the House Intel Committee for 12 years after more than two decades in the intel community told FBI agents in December of 2017 that the mood among the panel became, quote, indescribable after Trump's upset win the year before.

24:58Dan Bongino:Ranking member Schiff was particularly upset as he had believed he would have been appointed as the director of the CIA had Hillary Clinton won the election, according to a summary of the interview obtained by The New York Post. the same whistleblower in September 2017, said that he heard from congressional staff colleagues around October of 2016 that Schiff would be offered the CIA job if Clinton had won. After Trump won, instead, the September 2017 interview summary said that Schiff, quote, Schiff believed Russia hijacked the election and the United States was in the middle of a constitutional crisis.

25:37Dan Bongino:as he's leaking classified information to stop a presidential candidate and then to subsequently take down the president of the United States. It's a constitutional crisis, says the guy who's starting constitutional crises. Classified information began leaking to the media. The Democrat minority leadership of the Intel Committee was aware of the leaks, but was under the impression that leaking the information was one way to topple the administration and fix the constitutional crisis. Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton, first of all, Hillary Clinton have won, but could you imagine if she had made Adam Schiff the CIA director?

26:17Dan Bongino:You think John Brennan is a tyrant? Just imagine Adam Schiff in that role. That would have been an unmitigated disaster. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you, Trump voters, for preventing that from happening. I mean, it's bad enough that he's a senator now, but imagine CIA director pencil neck would have been awful. Yeah. And then there's some other juicy details from these documents that we get from from our buddy Cash Patel. Now, these declassified documents from these whistleblowers also reveal that Eric Swalwell was particularly reckless with classified information. Now, by now, you may not be surprised by that because Eric Swalwell bang, bang, fang, fang.

27:11And as a result, was apparently giving up all sorts of important information to a Chinese spy. So he has a reputation for being a little loose with, you know, his operational security, say to speak. And here we have on page 10 of the documents that have just been put out. Let's see if I can show this to you. Eric Swalwell comes up. Good old Eric Swalwell. What a goober that dude is. All right. So here's what they say. In around April 2017, their whistleblower had become very uncomfortable with the rampant leaking. And having already raised the issue with apparently a superior of some kind, he contacted Redacted, who previously served as the Redacted's inspector general.

27:59Dan Bongino:And they talked about Eric Swalwell and how quickly information had been leaked as a result of Eric Swalwell viewing it. Within 24 hours, information that had been looked at by Schiff and Swalwell appeared in the news almost verbatim. And so redacted officials descended on the House Intel Committee's offices, threatening to stop providing information unless the leaking ended. Someone suspected that Swalwell played the role in the leak and noted that Swalwell previously had been warned to be careful because he had a reputation for leaking classified information. Yes, the Fang Fang story does establish a reputation for leaking classified information.

28:42I would say that. They were very concerned about this.

28:47Dan Bongino:Now, furthermore, in these documents, they go on to say that Swalwell in particular was a guy who was considered routinely the guy who was a problem. Someone, quote, noted that Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.

29:12Dan Bongino:So in case you're wondering who is leaking all that stuff and and and to be crystal clear, you and I both assumed for years that it was Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell. Now we have a whistleblower adding to the evidence and saying, yeah, it was Adam Schiff. It was Eric Swalwell. It was James Comey. It's exactly who you think it was. All of these people accusing President Trump of mishandling classified information. Yeah, it was that it was always projection, always projection. Now they've got the Justice Department breathing down their necks. And it is so completely well deserved. All right. In a moment, we'll be joined by the great Alex Marlowe.

32:13all right well i'm happy to say that uh joining us now is the uh the editor-in-chief over at breitbart that's alex marlowe and fellas can you put his information up for me because i want to make sure to share the uh the book title and everything else uh we've got the book is breaking the law perfect he's also the host of the alex marlowe show and alex always good to have you with me sir appreciate you today vin same to you thanks for having me back always like talking to

32:38Dan Bongino:you so we've got a lot i just went over all of this newly declassified information that cash patel is just churning out yeah alex i am convinced that this is not merely a transparency initiative this is the predicate to something much bigger uh how are you feeling about all of this exactly the same way this investigation season that's how i've been branding it at bright part news i've been doing a series of stories on this because i actually feel like Like there is this renewed effort with Cash and Dan. I think Pam is in a deep fear after the way the Epstein files 1.0 was botched. Still waiting for that 2.0, just like the rest of you.

33:15And so I feel like there's a huge impetus. There's a big imperative to start bringing justice for all the wrongs that have been done to Donald Trump and his movement over the last 10 years. And it feels like some of this stuff, it does feel like things are serious. So we got to get stuff announced. I want to see everything announced. But then once things are announced, then you get some time. You get a couple of years to go through stuff and a thorough accounting of all the wrongs done to Trump and his movement, I think will be a great way to also control the media narrative. So it's got this, it's not a double-edged sword.

33:45It's like a sword with like two different prongs that are both gonna stab bad guys at the same time because we're gonna control the media narrative while we're holding people accountable. So I dig it so much. Nice to hear that Eric Swalwell of all people was reckless with classified information. absolutely shocked by that uh mr fang fang himself no but it's fun to go through the shift stuff too because i was thinking about it because we get the dem whistleblower which is which is unbelievable and it just looks like they really got him and statute of limitations up so i don't know criminally but it just feels like to your point about how this could be a predicate for something um but the stuff that they they had shift basically seemed like he was just throwing stuff on the table to the media and saying sure be a shame if this stuff leaked out and it just seems so ham-fisted and ham-headed and arrogant and that's why i love when the arrogant guy if it gets to the

34:35Dan Bongino:point though i'm sorry but if it gets to the point where the whistleblower stands up in the meeting goes guys what you're suggesting is illegal yeah and then the answer is don't worry we won't be caught that's that's about as open and shut as it gets don't you think yeah it looks like um there's a movie called role models from about 20 years ago which is which is it's r-rated but it's hilarious movie and there's a scene where there's an attorney and she's meeting with her client and she's suggesting he takes a plea deal and he says no i'm innocent there's no evidence against me and she shows him a video of him on security camera saying look at me stealing tvs i mean that's how this feels right now it feels like we got him so nailed and so i it's i would like to see the handcuffs and perp walks but at a minimum these people need to be front and center in the news the same way president trump and anyone who supported president trump was for a very long time but schiff is so strange i'm out here in california he's totally deluded he might be the one guy left on earth who actually believes that the russia collusion hoax happens he might be the last guy who actually genuinely believes it kind of like how people thought oj thought that he didn't commit the murders like by by the end like maybe did it but then he convinced himself he hadn't by the end of the trial that chef with russia gate he's that nuts yeah he certainly uh seems like it what would have happened if he had actually become the cia director do you think i don't know but i one last point i want to make just on the the revelations is that and i don't use this word and i detest when democrats do unless this is dead serious but if he was intentionally leaking this stuff to undermine the president there's only one word for that there's only one word for it's treason that's what it is and there's very severe penalties for that but you know we can't be afraid of exploring that option in the sense that this is literally treason and we know that's what they were doing they were trying to subvert our democracy subvert the will of the voters subvert the president of the united states we're trying to lead the free world with a hoax which is a known hoax and so this is a look the legal thing legal system's got to do its thing in this regard i'm not an attorney which is very convenient moments like this but this stuff is really really bad that's out there and rope them all in rope and swall well and it just shows you that this could have been a possibility that a guy like this could have led our CIA shows us that our biggest threat, as we've always known, as this audience knows as well as any, is from within right now.

36:54Well, you may not be an attorney, but you're insightful enough and you pay close enough attention to know what the legal ramifications are for a lot of this. Because on Adam Schiff and separately on Letitia James,

37:06Dan Bongino:there are grand juries being impaneled and there's an effort being led at the direction of Pam Bondi by Ed Martin, who's a genuine patriot who genuinely wants justice here we love that um if if you are adam schiff or letitia james right now how nervous are you about this i can't speak to schiff because he is so nuts like that little pencil neck is just such an odd guy i have no idea what he's thinking right now i mean he just might be farting in bathtubs this morning just amusing himself that way like i honestly have no idea but with tish james she's in big trouble because it's not just the mortgage stuff the mortgage stuff's fun and it looks like they got or dead the rights on mortgage fraud.

37:43And also that was what she essentially had accused Trump of doing of overvaluing properties in order to secure favorable loans. And so there's something very poetic and juicy about that. But what I've been reporting at Breitbart, and this is a big subject of breaking the law, where I do a deep dive into all of the major cases against President Trump, Chish James engaged in election interference with her targeted prosecution of Donald Trump. And this is something that is absolutely, there was an investigation of all the people I document in the book, and I call for about a dozen investigations.

38:17She's clearly number one because her attacks on Trump, they were targeted, they were on purpose. She stretched the law and used charitably called novel legal approaches, but it's really stuff that was illegal in order to try to harass him. Remember, this was a victimless crime. And she was essentially saying that Trump had fleeced these banks. These banks did not feel fleeced. She still brought this case in civil court, but treated Trump like a criminal the whole time and assessed him a cruel and unusual, completely outrageous$460 million penalty. In this case, Trump still has$175 million bond up right now.

38:53So$175 million. Vince, I know you're doing well these days, but could you picture having$175 million of your money on the hook in New York right now while you're supposed to leave the free world? That's not fair. And that's not something a president should endure. And he's enduring it now. It's not over. This is still happening right now with James. And it's all because she wanted to take him out politically. So she she is in big trouble and good.

39:16Dan Bongino:Yeah, rightfully so. And these grand juries are not constrained to some sort of limited topic. This could get out of control very quickly for Letitia James. I love this point because this is why the investigations matter and how the left has been using them against us is so important. is because you get these things where you start investigating one thing and then more things come up the grand jury is going to have such a wide berth when it comes to investigating her we have no idea what she's going to uncover and who else is going to get caught in the dragnet there's a perfect example of this that i go through in breaking the law which is the one criminal conviction case the stormy daniels case not a hush money case hush money is not illegal and that was not the issue the issue was business records and allegedly false fine business records this all came from michael cohen okay well how did michael cohen who is the key witness provided the key evidence in the case the only reason why people are looking into cohen is because the phony russian collusion hoax where the doj and the muller special counsel got access to cohen's gmail so if there was no phony russian collusion hoax then there would have been no criminal conviction no convicted felon branding and that whole news cycle never would have happened aside from the left throughout that dragnet and got trump in it yes by a cohen and also that was another case of projection because the left accused trump of classifying an election meddling operation as a legal expense meanwhile hillary clinton legitimately legitimately conducted an election election meddling operation through the steel dossier and classified it as a legal expense because of her payments to mark elias it was every single time every single time it is projection i I mean, this is just this news in the last 24 hours, which is that the Democrats were straight up leaking, mishandling to include James Comey, who's quite obviously smuggling classified information to The New York Times through his professor buddy.

41:05Dan Bongino:And then we get all of these lectures about how, oh, it's Trump who's mishandling classified information. Trump is the president of the United States. None of the rest of these goons were. Yeah, that's right. And it feels like if we want to have a system of justice that's supposed to be blind and impartial, then it feels like this should be a universal thing that we should be able to get behind. A person who is elected to be the most powerful legal person in a major state and to go after the most famous, most wealthy person in the state and then to assess him cruel and unusual financial penalties for a victimless crime.

41:43this should be something that maybe you look at a Venezuela or Brazil and you see this stuff you should not be seeing this in the United States of America and this is where I'm asking people to take a step back and to understand that the two tiers of justice that Hillary Clinton can have a server with classified documents in a bathroom in Colorado and then Donald Trump who could have classified documents at any moment has to get harassed for 18 months because he took some home when he could have waved a magic wand just to classify it that is not two tiers of justice actually three tiers Vince you you get the tier for some of us you've got the Hillary Clinton John Brennan James Clapper tier where by breaking the law you get book deals and you get MSNBC contributorships and then you got what happened to Trump and his supporters where they're just trying to make his life a living hell just simply because he's got politics they don't like I'm not dissatisfied with the FBI

42:31Dan Bongino:right now I'm very pleased with the FBI and the pace at which they're moving um but I will say and I said earlier in the program that I do think it might be nice to send a couple of FBI agents over to question Adam Schiff and everybody around him. Just ask them, were you mishandling classified information? How was that going down? Because remember the move that James Comey pulled on Mike Flynn. They sent FBI agents over just a couple of guys over, just to question him. And then they got him caught in a net. They made it seem like, oh, he lied to the FBI. We need to get him to plead guilty. And then they overturned his life.

43:02Dan Bongino:So if that's good for people who didn't do anything wrong, well, I think it's good for people who did do something wrong. Why don't we send a couple of guys over? that's exactly how the approach that we must take and i know that audiences like yours and like dan's they're going to demand it and people are going to be deeply dissatisfied if this doesn't happen and i i want to see the literal accountability i want to see some people in handcuffs that would be terrific but at a bare minimum we need to cast these dragnets out because what i thought when i saw the rundown of the latest shift revelations from this whistleblower i think i went to the same place as you is what else they got they got to have a mountain of stuff and now we've got a predicate to start digging i'd be very careful if i was any of these guys about what i say in public right now because i don't think the fbi is anywhere near done sharing information with the rest of us uh it's it's big um all right alex marlowe you you're great i always appreciate you um and the book is breaking the law and the show is the alex marlowe show and the website's breitbart news where He's been running it for years.

44:05Alex, nice to talk to you today, sir. It's always a pleasure. Hope to do it again soon. Thank you very much. There he is, Alex Marlowe, editor-in-chief over at Breitbart News. Okay, let me share something else with you that I think is important, interesting, about Adam Schiff's culpability here, what kind of trouble he could be in. Benny Johnson, who, by the way, thanks, Benny, for raiding the radio show yesterday. We got a big Benny Johnson raid on the Rumble stream of the radio show yesterday. So we appreciate that. The whole audience appreciates that. Here is Benny Johnson talking to former U.S.

44:40attorney Brett Tolman in the last 24 hours about Adam Schiff and the the world of hurt he could be finding himself in very soon. Take a listen to this. Every American would say, yeah, absolutely. You shouldn't leak classified information. We don't want that to be something that you can do or get away with. or if there's a temptation to do that and get paid for it, then the penalties should be very severe. So can you talk me through, like, what would the penalties look like for an average individual leaking classified information? Yeah, I mean, the fine is up to$250 ,000 for every leak that's charged.

45:19So it depends on the counts in the indictment. Also, keep in mind, some of the punishment hinges on the purpose that the classified leak or the possession of classified documentation illegally. So the purpose becomes very important. And the purpose here is to indict Trump. Oh, Comey, when he said no one, no prosecutor would prosecute Hillary Clinton for having classified information. I mean, it was just an outright lie. But there was always this question, this debate. what was the purpose of it? Was it just sloppiness? Same with Joe Biden. Was it sloppiness that he had all of these, you know, that he used the classified documents to write his memoirs?

46:01You know, was, was there anything truly nefarious about it?

46:04Dan Bongino:And the whistleblower again says that it shifts intention to indict Trump with this classified leaking. Some analysis of Donald Trump, but with, with president Trump, it was just, you had him, we're going to go after you because that's how how we're gonna apply the law. But in reality, you have to look at the purpose to see whether or not there are aggravating factors. Here, I believe this was, in essence, the beginning of a conspiracy to take down a president, to impact his ability to leave. There are other statutes, conspiracy statutes, interference with official proceedings, et cetera. There's question, a lot of people have question about - And the conspiracy consideration here means that the statute of limitations stretches on much further.

46:49Dan Bongino:Treason. Is it treason? You probably don't satisfy the elements for treason, but there are some related crimes that could come into play. And if you found that the individual was doing it in an effort to undermine the United States, you're looking at potential penalties of up to 20 years in federal prison. 20 years in federal prison. Brett Tolman, not a crazy person, not making it up, former U.S. attorney assessing here the available evidence and saying, this don't look good for Adam Schiff. This don't look good at all. So Schiff, you're on notice. You do see Swalwell is hoping that the attention he's receiving right now is going to make him more famous or something.

47:31He is so tragically stupid. It's at this point, it's just sad. Here's what he had to say. more bullshit in service to Trump to try and keep me quiet.

47:41Dan Bongino:Come get me, Cash. This Trump stooge long ago put me at the top of his book's enemies list. This nonsense is just more of that. I won't be silent. You know, Cash Patel has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever here. Just, can we send Cash personally to put handcuffs on Eric Swalwell? And Swalwell is, you know, crapping his diaper as they bring him off.

48:08I love it. But but Swalwell is hoping honestly, he's the reason only reason he's tweeting about this. He's like, look at me. Look at me. I'm in the news. You sure are, dummy. You sure are. That's Eric Swalwell. Yeah, go get that clown cash as Dr. Edwards. I think that would be absolutely wonderful. OK, we got a couple of things going on in Washington, D.C. that I want to get to. I just played a clip for you from from from Benny Johnson. Benny actually went over to the White House yesterday and was one of the guys, he was the guy who got to ask the first question in the White House press briefing.

48:40Cut three, the critical question from Benny Johnson to the White House yesterday. Very quick follow-up to that. Given the heroic actions of a member of this administration just a few blocks from this building, will the president consider giving the presidential medal of freedom to Big Ball? I haven't spoken to him about that, but perhaps it's something he would consider. I'll ask him and get back to you, Benny. Thanks for being here. is big balls going to get the medal of freedom? I sure hope he does. By the way, Justin, I don't know what you're showing right now. Justin, I think you've muted the audio that's being sent to me, which means I couldn't hear the clip, but that's okay.

49:18That things like this happen. That was, that was great though. I love that moment yesterday at the white house, big balls, big balls. Will he get the medal of freedom? Well, the white house is considering it. The press hates all of this. They don't like that, that big balls as a hero they don't like the benny johnson got a question at the white house they don't like caroline levitt taking him seriously they don't like the idea that the medal of freedom could be given to an american who defended his woman from a from a mob of insane people attacking in the nation's capital they don't like any of that which means i like it even more i'm very happy with it so uh there you go that's that's legitimate also while we're on the discussion of who should receive the medal of freedom there's been an effort to raise the name thomas soul to get a Medal of Freedom.

50:01Boy, talk about a guy who deserves it.

50:03Dan Bongino:The economist Thomas Sowell. Medal of Freedom before we don't have Thomas Sowell anymore. He's very elderly. So perhaps Big Balls and Thomas Sowell could both receive Medals of Freedom soon. That would be good. The left likes to give out Medals of Freedom to people who don't deserve them. Normal people deserve them. Normal people who do great things in the country and inspire the rest of us, they deserve them. I would like to see that. Yes, Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. I completely agree with that. All right. So that's what we have. But the question, the reason Big Balls is coming up is because of the crime in D.C.

50:39Big Balls was attacked. And yesterday, Caroline Levitt did offer this update on what's going on with D.C. crime. Cut one. Take a look here. The D.C. Police Department and mobilized the D.C. National Guard to end violent crime in our nation's capital. As part of the president's massive law enforcement surge, last night, approximately 850 officers and agents were surged across the city. They made a total of 23 arrests, including multiple other contacts. Last night, these arrests consisted of homicide, firearms offenses, possession with intent to distribute narcotics, fair evasion, lewd acts, stalking, possession of a high capacity magazine, fleeing to a lewd in a vehicle, no permits, driving under the influence, reckless driving, and a bench warrant.

51:30A total of six illegal handguns were seized off of District of Columbia streets as part of last night's effort.

51:38Dan Bongino:You know, the thing as vile as the crimes are that she listed out in many cases. There's one that really stood out to me, and it's kind of maybe the technically the smallest crime that she announced. Fair evasion. Fair evasion. Now, in Washington, D.C., there's a subway system. It's called the Metro, the D.C. Metro. And that system for years now, you've had people who rather than pay the fair, they just jump the turnstile. Like, well, I'm not going to pay and nobody's going to hold me accountable. So they jump the turnstile. And what that creates is a culture of complete lawlessness, absolute lawlessness.

52:21Dan Bongino:And this goes back to Rudy Giuliani and broken windows and Bill Bratton in New York. The basic theory here is if you allow the small crimes to occur, if you allow the little stuff to happen, it creates a permission structure for the big and much more dangerous stuff to take place. It diminishes the quality of your neighborhood. It conveys that lawlessness is kind of the way that life can be conducted. And as a result, people do commit more crimes. And if they're held accountable early, if they get a sense of a taste of justice early, where the penalties are in fact even smaller and lower, people begin to realize, well, wait a second, there are consequences for my actions.

53:04Dan Bongino:So they stop before things become catastrophic. So yeah, is fair jumping going to destroy someone's life? No, but it will diminish your community such that more criminality will take place. So I like that they're enforcing fair jumping even, that the Trump administration is taking over the D.C. Police Department and saying, we're not even going to allow that. Jumping a turnstile? No, you're going to be held accountable. And then we're going to make an example of you at the White House press conference to let you know that people like you are going to be stopped from breaking the law. it's a huge deal and so i'm glad to hear that i was glad that was the thing that stood out to me the most the fair jumping god bless him for going after that um she also offered an update that there are a lot more arrests coming and that over the next month as the president runs the dc police department he's going to be locking up a lot of bad guys take a look here this is only the beginning over the course of the next month the trump administration will relentlessly pursue an arrest Every violent criminal in the district who breaks the law undermines public safety and endangers law abiding Americans.

54:11President Trump will not be deterred by soft on crime Democrats and media activists who refuse to acknowledge this rampant violence on our streets. He is going to make our nation's capital the most beautiful and safe city on Earth, just as he promised on the campaign trail. Staying on the topic of public safety. I love it.

54:32Dan Bongino:I just love it. But, you know, think about the president's success on the border. The media claimed that President Trump couldn't do it. We need a new law to do this. No, all we needed was a new president is what Trump said. And it turns out he was totally right about that. He used to be somebody who had the will and the resources to be able to pull it off, and he did. He used all of the available resources in the government. He just got some more passed through the big, beautiful law. That is one legal way. That's one new law that came through. But that was to bring in reinforcements, backups.

55:00The border was already locked down by the time the Big Beautiful Law was passed.

55:04Dan Bongino:Now he wants to build a sustainable, long-term border security system using the Big Beautiful Law. But he can do it. And in Washington, D.C., the president of the United States has extraordinary powers that he doesn't actually have in every other city in the country. There's a lot that he can do to help bring peace to our cities. But in particular in Washington, D.C., he has legal control of the D.C. Police Department if he wants it. So he took it and he's doing it to restore our nation's capital to peace and beauty and prosperity. And if anybody can do it, it's Trump. If anybody can do it, it's this president of the United States.

55:42So I'm grateful that he's taken a swing at this because I think he's going to succeed. I think he's going to make nice contact on it. And there's already evidence that that's happening. The U.S. attorney in D.C. is now former Judge Jeanine Pirro, former Fox News host. Yesterday, reporters were trying to tell her, actually, things are fine in this city. There's nothing going on here that's a problem. Janine Pirro, let's unleash this woman more, because I love when she smacks them down. Cut three. Here's Janine Pirro. The drop in crime rates at the end of it. What changed? It's never enough. This changed.

56:19This changed. It's never enough. You tell these families crime has dropped. You tell the mother of the intern who was shot going out for McDonald's near the Washington Convention Center, oh, crime is down. You tell the kid who was just beat the hell in back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, crime is down. No, that falls on deaf ears, and my ears are deaf to that, and that's why I fight the fight. Thank you. Oh, man, I love competent people. I love competent people with aggression. That's really great. So Janine Pirro, the right person for the job, the U.S. attorney in D.C. is a super important job.

56:59It's not like every other U.S. attorney in the country.

57:01Dan Bongino:The D.C. U.S. attorney, her job includes prosecuting every adult that has handcuffs placed on them in the city. That's unusual for the U.S. attorney to do that. That's her job. Glad she's there. And here's here's the problem. When you have incompetent officials, well, then things become a lot worse. And in case you were wondering, the D.C. police chief. She didn't exactly advertise competence this week. The D.C. police chief was asked yesterday about what the new chain of command is with President Trump in charge of the police force. Cut for here's the D.C. police chief not understanding what the phrase chain of command means.

57:40You will see Metropolitan Police Department working side by side with our federal partners in order to enforce the efforts that we need around the city. Can you tell us what the chain of command is now? What does that mean? Well, is it Pam Bondi speaking to the mayor? How does this work? So the executive order is clear. Oh, my gosh. Muriel Bowser, the mayor, has to step in because the police chief doesn't know what a chain of command is.

58:08Dan Bongino:How did you become the police chief? I'm not even a cop. I know what a chain of command is. What does that mean? It means you shouldn't be in that job. It means this might explain why things are so bad right now. Thanks for joining us today on Vince. I always appreciate you being here. We've got another big episode ready to go for you for tomorrow.

58:48Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of$45 for three months,$90 for six months, or$180 for 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only. Greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms.
