0:02All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. Yeah, buckle up, kids. This one's gonna hurt. This one's gonna be a big kick and then... This one's gonna sting. I was very emotional before the show. My eyes look like this. I'm not tired. I slept like 10 hours last night after that Hannity hit. No, I did. Well, not 10. I'm close to 7 or 8. But it was good. It was a good seven or eight. You know why? Because I feel like the weight of the world is off my back now. I just do. I just do. I really have gotten to the point now being back on the air for a good amount of time and now having seen the inside, the outside, the inside, the outside, the inside, the outside again.

0:46I'm at the point now where I'm totally free. Totally free. Because you know what sets you free? Oh, it's a cliche. What are we doing? Writing Robert Frost poetry? No, we're not. The truth will always set you free. Every time. Dan that's a cliche You're correct because it's true Pun intended Now you're seeing it Now you're seeing the grift Totally completely exposed Bare ass out there and everything Running down the beach Bare ass no bathing suit And everybody's like what Now you see it

1:25Joe Kent's a liar As I said yesterday and the day before, Joe was a friend. Joe disgraced himself last night. Joe's history is service to the country beyond reproach, period. As full a stop as you're ever going to get. Sacrifices made by him, his family, his wife. I can't relate. Never made that kind of sacrifice. I haven't. That does not change anything about what happened last night, however, that Joe Kent is a liar. and folks believe me when I tell you I I of all the things you can call someone and you know the queens in me comes out a lot calling someone a liar is a big deal and I know that and I say I feel so free now and I do because I've reached this point where after two months back and understanding how we have this loyal group of people that are interested in the truth that have been here for me and the show and everything and i hope i've been here for you i've taken a lot of chances on the truth because it was the right thing to do at great personal cost to me but i know it's the right thing to do and i know there's a second creation out there someday where i'm gonna have to answer to a higher power who absolutely knows what the truth is if there's a god he stands for truth

2:55Everybody wants to drag their faith into it. But then when you actually bring faith into it, that if there is a God, he most certainly stands for truth, the people on the other side of the truth all of a sudden are repulsed. Folks, I have a lot to talk about today with you, and I don't know how long this show is going to go today. I don't. It could go an hour. It could go an hour and a half. It could go two hours. I don't know. I just said to Jasmine, get ready. We're going to cover two things right out of the shoe today. Take notes on today's show. No, I'm serious. We're going to cover the gatekeeper narrative and how you know who is on the side of truth and how you know who is not.

3:41When you see the gatekeeper narrative to Trump's surface, you know they're full of shit.

3:49Second, we're going to cover the hidden knowledge scam. that you're out there with some hidden set of knowledge that magically everyone around Donald Trump, including Donald Trump himself, they don't have. It's insane, but you have it. And then when you ask them about it, they say, I'm just asking you questions. Well, do you actually know something? Can you say it? No, but I have it. Well, say it! No, no, no, but I have it. No one else has it but you. no no but but i have it again but will you say it no i won't say it but i have it that's the mark of a moron the hidden knowledge scam overloading you with information underwhelming you with any evidence at all at all that is the mark of the beast Confusion and chaos The mark of the enlightened is truth Within the chaos

5:01If there was a gloves coming off moment Today's it And this would be a good time as I said again For all the chaos merchants To find their way somewhere else I don't know how many times I can tell you This is a business where, of course, there's always a motive to create revenue in a business here. It's a business. I'm telling you the opposite of that. I'm telling you I don't care about that. I don't want or need anybody involved with me or this movement we have for truth here at all. That's the opposite of the goal of a revenue-generating model. You're supposed to bring in more customers, not less.

5:43I don't want those customers at all.

5:53Get ready. Get the pen and get the paper. I, unlike others claiming hidden knowledge, am going to show you actual knowledge. And now you can decide what you want. Chaos or truth. Your call. and yes this is a fight that's going to happen and yes this is a fight that has to happen and yes we must walk and juggle at the same time i'm sorry we have to do that i've been through the tea party revolution as we've had to clean up the mess before one time against the establishment now against a bunch of usurpers inside the tent trying to destroy our movement. Every movement goes through this at some point.

6:41There's no ducking. There's no running. There's no tucking tail. You don't want to fight. This ain't the show for you. Folks, we prepare financially. We protect our homes. We think about security. So why wouldn't you prepare your medicine cabinet the same way? It's just common sense. Being prepared means having access to what your family might need before you're scrambling in an emergency. Listen, and I live in a hurricane zone, stores get shut down. They shut down for sometimes two or three days. If you're sick, you get sick. Your child gets an infection. You don't have the available antibiotics and other things, and you're knocking on a pharmacy window that's closed, you're going to be in real trouble.

7:16I use, recommend as well, all-family pharmacy. I've used them quite a bit, actually. I have a kit in my car as well. They let you order ahead and stock your medicine cabinet for three to six months, so you're not running back every 30 days.

But buckle up, okay? no joe's a liar and i'm gonna prove it to you and believe me it pains me to say that i've had many many dealings with joe over the years and i'm frankly stunned by what happened stunned

8:53stunned be like your friend next to you in the middle of uh watching a movie telling you they're like a spy for Accra, Ghana or something. You'd be like, wait, what? We were just playing softball last night. I don't know. It's how shocked I am. I don't know how to respond to this sometimes. But the truth matters. I'm not going to be a chaos merchant here. So let's start on the two things I told you about because I want to help you here. I really just do. Folks, I'm telling you, man, I got no dog in this fight other than the truth. If someone's telling you otherwise, they are bullshitting you because they're trying to dismantle.

9:31They're trying to dismantle what we all built together because they want to destroy the current MAGA movement and rebuild it in their own image. First, let me play this clip. I don't like playing clips of myself because I can just say things again, but there's no sense saying it again. I said it last night. This is brief, but I was on Hannity's show last night and I talked about something I've addressed with you often and it plays into point one. Remember, point one is going to be the gatekeeper narrative. Point two is going to be the hidden knowledge scam, okay? So we're going to focus on this gatekeeper narrative you're seeing amongst people who I'm telling you are chaos agents trying to destroy our movement.

10:09They are not here to help. I'm going to tell you why too. And I'm going to show you their exact tactics. I haven't done this yet. I've been hesitant. But now with Joe Kent, you're seeing exactly how it works, okay? This is part of the gatekeeper narrative. I've been telling you over the past few days about the Donald Trump has no agency theory. Like Donald Trump is completely not in control. He's got a bunch of like horrible people around him in his cabinet. And this great leader, Donald Trump, which is true, he is a great leader, but is being misled by all these evil people around him, the gatekeepers.

10:43I hit on this last night and the whole angle of how they do it by. Now, if you want to destroy the MAGA movement, why not just attack Donald Trump, right? There's a reason. Check out me on Hannity last night where I hit this and I'll tie it to the gatekeeper now. Check this out. Sean, this is cowardly by these people who you mentioned who are doing this. Because what they do is they call out Donald Trump's entire cabinet and circle of friends and advisors. But they never call out Trump because they know they'll get crushed like a bug. They know it. And then the grift dries up. Then the money dries up.

11:16So what they do is because they have no balls. Say it again. No balls. Grow a pair. They don't want to take him on directly because he will crush them. So they go about attacking everyone else. They do this all the time. And this, I call this the Donald Trump has no agency theory. Like Donald Trump has, doesn't have the ability to think for himself. You know him longer than I have. I had the pleasure of working for him. You don't know jack squat about this guy. If you think he's getting dog walked around by anyone, he's the one walking the damn dog. I promise.

11:53I'm not trying to say that again because I said it last night. We're going to dump the Donald Trump has no agency theory and we're going to move into, because it's the same thing. But now I want you to see it because you're going to see this exact word used. You're going to see it used by this entire network of doomers out there. They call it the gatekeeper narrative. This idea that Donald Trump is just not that smart And he's sitting up there on this perch in the White House And is being misled by a bunch of people Now the irony of this is that these very same people The overwhelming majority of them Upwards of 99 % of them plus Have never worked for Donald Trump Or had a cup of coffee in the White House So they don't even know him Now, why are they doing this?

12:45The gatekeepers, the gatekeepers are keeping information from Donald Trump, his cabinet, his advisers, the Jews, the Israelis. He's so dumb. He's being dog walked around. They don't say that, by the way. Because of what I just said. They wouldn't dare dare many of some of them are just stupid and say that most of them, the ones that are trying to be tactical, not just the outright morons. They dance around it because they know if they tweet to Donald Trump or put out a post or do a podcast or a radio show and they say Donald Trump is the dumbest president ever. He's being dog walked around by people that the actual Donald Trump, who is a ferociously strong leader with very, very, very good political instincts will destroy them like he's destroyed every single other person who's tried to do this to him.

13:40So they can't do that. So they want to hijack the MAGA movement because they've got plans for 2028. What do you mean, Dan? They're all going to run for president? All these little doomers? No. But they have people they want to run for president who have likely promised them consulting gigs, polling gigs, advisor gigs, or they just want to be adjacent to power. They know Donald Trump is term limit. Please listen to me. I'm telling you this is happening. They know Donald Trump will not be running again. They think that whoever Donald Trump is going to endorse as the next, that that's not there. They can make no money off this person.

14:26I don't care who it turned out, Rubio, Vance, whatever. It doesn't matter. They want their person. Their person is not one of them. Listen to me. There's no money in those people. So they have to make it appear that Donald Trump is feckless without saying Donald Trump is feckless. So when Donald Trump goes and endorses this next person in 2028 that's not their guy, they can say, hey, I was calling this out the whole time. You see, you guys got bad judgment.

15:00Please bookmark this show. Please. so they have to attack him and make him look like he has bad judgment without attacking him so what do they do uh cash patel sucks john ratcliffe sucks hegseth sucks rubio sucks you don't think this is out there just put the word gatekeeper in x and you'll see them Flag it Flags all over the place Just put the word gatekeeper And Trump in X You'll see exactly what I'm talking about This theory that Donald Trump Can't control the White House All of these people Who absolutely love Donald Trump Who've been in this movement forever Yes you're correct We're all keeping information from him So the country goes left Me, Cash, Blanche Who was his lawyer his lawyer with all those bullshit Charles guy probably could have taken a chance losing his legal license Ratcliffe, Pete Rubio yeah yeah everybody that's right folks it's a cabal of all of us who couldn't have been more pro-conservatism thank you Brendan Dilley bingo that's a mother who gets it right there thank you Dilley of the Dilley show who's been talking about this forever

16:24it's bullshit so they go after why do you all of a sudden these people who used to ask me to speak at conferences it's not about listen it's not about it's not boo-hoo i signed up for this and i love i love being in the chaos i adore it i was born for this shit people used to ask me to speak at their conferences their libertarian conferences you doubt me go look i was at some of them the second I got in there, I was in there five minutes. Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. Nothing's happening. Really? That's kind of strange. Five minutes ago, you wanted me to endorse your book. So weird. I have the emails.

17:03I choose not to put them out there because I don't want to do Candace Owens. People communicate with me. I'm trying to do my best to not put stuff out there. Sometimes, unfortunately, it's necessary.

17:15You don't think I've got receipts too?

17:23They want to take over MAGA. They have to diminish Donald Trump, but they can't take him off there undirectly. So they take out and attack every single person around him. And they say, these people are awful. We're not really saying anything about Donald Trump, but he's just dumb up there. He don't know what he's doing. It's just the gatekeepers. And they don't even say that. It's like, oh, he's being misled. put it in X and look for yourself. Second, now we're going to go through this Joe Kent video with Tucker yesterday. It's about three minutes, but we're going to stop it quite a bit because I'm going to show you with receipts coming up at the end, and I'm going to tell you how he is a liar, and you're going to see bare ass and all gatekeeper theory here.

18:17Gatekeeper theory, number one And number two, the hidden knowledge scam Which I just described in the beginning of the show I've got this hidden knowledge Yet I was in a position of power And all of a sudden Like, I don't have the answers But I'm just asking questions But you're asking questions you have no way If you know something, say it, mother Just say it I said everything to you On camera Some of you didn't like it We got elected to go and open the books. We opened the books. And I told you what was there. Some of it sucked. Some of it wasn't the answer you wanted. But motherfucker, I told you the truth.

19:00I told you the truth. These people are full of shit. Because there's cliques in it. And the Jews and Pete did it or Todd did or Cash did it or Bongino did it.

19:19I told you the truth at great cost to myself and whether you want to hear it or not is irrelevant to me because I'm not going up there at the pearly gates with my Lord and Savior in front of me having to acknowledge him that I lied to people because I wanted to be popular on X

19:40using tragedy by the way to leverage anger disgusting And that's what these group of doomers are doing right now. They're using Charlie's brutal assassination and the assassination attempt on President Trump and Butler. They are using these two things to leverage your anger. And there are a lot of people falling for it. And if you're part of that crowd, just get out. Just go. It's not for you, man. You want to be lied to and I'm not going to lie to you. You relish the fact that people lie to you. You support the people who lie to you. I don't know why. I'm not going to pretend. I'm not Sigmund Freud here, man.

20:22I don't know why you want that.

20:27But I ain't your guy. All I care about is the truth. What happened yesterday on this, on Tucker's show with Joe Kent was just disgusting. He is a liar, and it pains me to tell you that. This video is about three minutes long. It's a snippet, but it's interesting how many lies and how the hidden, you'll see the hidden knowledge scam here, the gatekeeper scam. Oh, there's people hiding stuff in the government. You were part of it. You're part of the conspiracy? Why not just out it? You know something? Interesting how he knows something. He just doesn't say it. We're going to stop this throughout.

21:13All right. start the video and we'll get probably about 10 seconds in before I have to stop it. Check this out.

21:24What kind of pressure does it require to get a president who campaigned against exactly this thing for 10 years to do exactly this thing? What does it take to do that? I wish I knew definitively. I think there's two potentials or two schools of thought. I mean, one is the media echo chamber, the donors, the way the Israelis come in and kind of launder the information like I described previously. And then. Stop. Okay. So we'll get back to it. You got it held right there. Okay, good. Here we go already. You see the gatekeeper theory? That there, and hidden knowledge all in the first, what is that, 20 seconds?

22:05What do we add? Is it the 20 second mark? In 20 seconds, you have it right. This is the mark for suckers. you fall for the hidden knowledge scam and the gatekeeper theory that you voted for Donald Trump but he's not smart enough to know what's going on Donald Trump does not know what's going on quote the Israelis have laundered intelligence I saw the intelligence so did he he's lying that is a lie that is a lie we have our own very capable NSA, DIA, CIA and a number of other members of the USIC that are perfectly capable of verifying and developing their own information. He's seen it. He's seen it.

22:48He's making, this is the Jews did an argument. That the Jews are the gatekeeper. Oh, the Israelis are gatekeeping information from Trump. Yeah, okay, Donald Trump, he's a sucker for that. I saw it. Don't tell me what happened. I don't give a shit that you have a podcast. I have a podcast. have you ever worked for the government actually read this intelligence to any of the other podcast bros or mams out there have you ever seen it no period you have not just answer the fucking question you haven't seen any of it so you have no idea what you're talking about you're just taking at face value what this guy's saying that donald trump is stupid he's being dog walked around by Israeli intelligence agents and we do no verification of our own.

23:38Yeah, that's right, folks. The NSA and its huge budget and the CIA and the FBI, CTD, counter terror division and our counter espionage division, counter intel. We're just everyone's just sitting around jerking off all day. You believe that shit? Yeah, me and Cass just sat there for a year. What do we do? Feet up on the desk. I'm bored, guys.

24:08Sure, Joe. Sure. The Israelis dog walked around. Yeah, me too. I have no idea. I just read the intelligence. Yeah, I read the Israelis.

24:17And Trump's just too stupid to figure that out. Guy's only been president for like five years now. And he just doesn't know what's going on, fellas. Amazing. The Abraham Accords, economic growth, the Trump tax cuts, the big beautiful bill moving the embassy despite all of the experts saying otherwise Maduro in prison zero illegal migrants admitted to the country the guy's just an idiot how does he figure this out he's got a bunch of terrible advisors or gatekeepers murder rate at an all time low crime rate at an all time low I don't know how'd that happen I don't know Joe how'd that happen I don't remember you contributing to any of that all I remember you doing is asking about conspiracy theories all the time.

25:04Play some more. It's much darker. I mean, we still don't know what happened in Butler. We don't know what happened with Charlie Kirk. And by no means am I saying... Stop, stop. Okay, folks, this is where we have to part ways again. I don't know how many times I got to tell you all this. we have gone over butler so many times we did a two-hour interview with brooke singman from fox i'm gonna the receipts incoming i promise you did joe kent miss the interview we brought her down and sat her in our office with the case agent for two hours and went through everything everything you can actually see the article joe we don't know anything about butler we went through everything with the case agent to the point where she had no more she had a list of questions we were done we briefed the president multiple times on butler and the president said and i quote he's completely satisfied with it Again, gatekeeper theory.

Read the full transcript

26:19So the president's satisfied with Butler. The guy who was more than interested in Butler than anyone is me, being a Secret Service agent too, before. And yes, everybody's lying to the president who's completely satisfied, and he's just too dumb to notice. But Joe knows. Joe knows about Butler. I want you to know something. I offered Joe face-to-face, and you know it, Joe. Don't bullshit people. I offered him a briefing on Butler. Did he show up to FBI headquarters to take it? No way. He did not. That's a fact, bro. You are a liar. And a bullshitter. And you know it. I offered you that briefing.

27:08And you didn't take it. you have hidden knowledge about something that happened at butler he's got hidden knowledge folks amazing the president he was shot in the head in butler he was shot in the head no one spoke out more about the secret service failures than me my first week on the job i had the case agent in my office with an entire team including a former secret service agent briefing me about Butler. You know something? Spit it out! Grow a pair! Spit it out! You got some hidden knowledge? Let's hear it!

27:54I told you what I got. I'll show you the Fox News article. I'll show you exactly what I have. All you got is, oh, I've got a black box. Well, what's in it? Something. Well, what's in it? Something. there's the piece, November 21st. This was last year. Brooke Singman. FBI concludes that Crooks acted alone after unprecedented global investigation. You want me to lie to you? You want me to, hey man, here's what's in the file. Thomas Crooks had 50 other accomplices. Did he really? Can you show us that? No, I can't. I'm just making it up to make Joe Ken happy.

28:35Folks, I'm tired of it, man. Are we going to live in a world of truth or a world of chaos?

28:42You know what? Go down those screenshots, and we'll go back to the video. I'm going to show you. I don't know what to tell you if Joe didn't read this article. This is open source. This is a Fox News article. You know how many employees looked at this?

29:01485 FBI employees looked at this investigation, including me. 486 We don't know anything about Butler Joe said Really? The FBI conducted more than 1 ,000 Interviews connected to the case I looked at all this Stuff They reviewed 2 ,000 tips Executed 10 search warrants and 100 subpoenas I analyzed 13 Electronic devices Wait later in the video He says that we don't know anything about the electronic devices Really? Really? That's news to me.

29:39Not only electronic devices associated with him, but his family members, too. I thought Joe said, maybe Joe would have known this if he would have read the article or shown up for the briefing that he turned down. You see the grift, though? We don't know nothing. I know something. Black box, I got it. Watch my podcast. The FBI examined 35 accounts linked to crooks. I thought we didn't analyze anything. I thought they told me that. I thought they said that Including social media, bank and other online accounts But we don't know nothing We don't know nothing about nothing Amazing by the way Keep this up The same people out there, clan of people Who are telling you out there that Iran's no threat Can constantly tell you Or imply at least That Iran was behind this kid Produced no evidence They tell you they know something And then they go but Iran's no threat You just implied Iran tried to shoot Trump through this kid.

30:36Which story is it, mother? Which story is it? Get your story straight. We don't have any evidence of that. Yes, Iran wants to kill Trump. Yes, this kid is a lunatic. It happens all the time, sadly. John Hinckley, Arthur Bremer, people lose their minds and do stupid stuff. Here's another more from this article. You guys can read it yourself. The home was completely swept. Every device was collected and accessed. There were reports out there say we didn't get into certain devices. That's false. That is just made up. Joe would have known that if he would have read the article. Or just showed up at our office.

31:22The FBI conducted a manual review of more than 500 ,000 individual electronic files. That's a fact. engaged with nations around the world to ensure all the leads were covered, which we did. When there was a lead about an overseas connection, two instances we became aware of foreign accounts, the FBI reached out to the foreign governments. We did. It goes on. Very quickly, the foreign governments provided the full contents of the accounts. We deployed an extraordinary effort that even people not in Crooks' age range were interviewed and done completely and thoroughly. There's no foreign connection in the case, the official stressed.

32:03There's no individual outside U.S. borders or inside U.S. borders that had any role is as important in directing him, inspiring him, or assisting him in any way. That includes foreign governments.

32:17You want me to lie to you, man? Is that what generates clicks and money? That's what it's about now?

32:27You know how easy it is to do that? Listen, I was in the FBI. I got a bunch of hidden knowledge. This stuff went on. I'm hiding stuff. Tune into my podcast at five.

32:42Folks, this is bullshit. We don't need these people, man. You see what they're doing? They're gatekeepers. Boncino, Patel, Blanche, Hegseth, Rubio, Radcliffe. keeping information from Donald Trump. He's not smart enough to figure this out. Yeah, Bongino, right. Went into the government for the money. You guys know I made a lot of money in there. A big revenue generator for me. And as you know, it's always great too for your stress levels and your personal life enhancement. Go into the guy, it's a great idea. Yeah.

33:18I went in there to tell you the truth. And a lot of the gatekeeper narrative frauds didn't have the balls to take a job in the Trump administration or weren't offered one because nobody trusted them. And then they graciously offer jobs to others like Joe Kent who go out and come out and lie about it.

33:41I'm going to take a quick break here because honestly I got to kind of calm down before I have a freaking heart attack too because I'm so pissed off at what happened last night. This is a serious problem. and I'm getting tired of also the fence sitters with a fence post up their ass. Oh, I don't want to call out this guy or that guy because I'm afraid he's going to mention me on the show. Really? Just put my name anywhere. I've been mentioned on shows for 10 years. You want to be in the public, get used to it. As Brother Leo from Archbishop Malloy High School, God rest his soul, said to me a long time ago, real men walk alone, okay?

34:16You want pats on the back, you want palm fronds and everyone, oh, the Jews did it. Trump's dumb, all the gatekeepers. You go ahead and do that. Me, zero interest.

34:31You got other people out there calling it out too who've been through these fights before. They don't fall for the current thing. The reason conservatism conserves things is because we believe in a longitudinal, chronological timeline line where good ideas should last over time. That's what we're conserving. We don't fall for every current thing. Thank God you got people like I saw Dana Lash. I mean, just going for it. Good for you. She's been around forever. She's been through the Tea Party fights. Levin. Hannity. Boomers. Boomers. Oh yeah, really? You've been alive 10 minutes and you you've never been through these fights.

35:14You don't think we've been through these fights before?

35:20please don't fall for this man all right quick break that was heavy i'm not even like 30 seconds into this video i told you i don't know how long it's gonna go long as three and a half minutes of your life it is hey if you look at your credit card statement lately you're working 40 50 hours a week just to buy groceries and gas things you used to be able to afford and the credit card companies are charging you over 20 % interest for the privilege.

38:42I mean, we still don't know what happened in Butler. We don't know what happened with Charlie Kirk. And by no means am I saying like, you know, the Israelis did this or we're - Stop. Here we go again. Folks, one, this is particularly disgusting because there's an ongoing trial. And I'm not going to take part in this right now because it would be unethical. However, here we go again Where I'm not saying anything Did you hear it at the end? This is the hidden knowledge scam This is the mark of a Times Square watch salesman You ever go to Times Square back before Rudy Giuliani Cleamed it up? Hey, I got a Rolex here $25,$25 For a Rolex, yeah, no, it's real I got Hidden knowledge here I don't I'm not saying, I'm just saying I'm not saying that there's any connection well you would know you don't think this is disgusting we live in a republic where every single person charged from everything from murder to child pornography everyone that the biggest scum of the earth is entitled to the presumption of innocence until their guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of their peers.

40:07Thank God we have a republic that works like that. There is a trial going on. And you're claiming you've got some kind of hidden knowledge? Really? Interesting.

40:23You see the scam? I got hidden knowledge, but I'm not going to say it. You know something? I think you're some kind of like whistleblower now You notice how blowing the whistle on nothing? I know something, but I'm not going to say it Really? I know you're watching right now And you know you're a liar And you know exactly what you're doing Play some more Am I saying like, you know, the Israelis did this or any of that But I'm saying there's a lot of unanswered questions there And there is enough data to at least say that there's enough data. I'm not saying anything because I don't know anything.

41:04I'm just lying to you. However, there's enough data, but he doesn't tell you what the data is. This is amazing because then he goes on after telling you that there's all this data. You just heard it. It's not my words, bro. Don't kill the messenger.

41:24Don't kill the messenger for using his way. He's the messenger, not me. He's got this data. He just said it. But now he's going to go on to tell you another lie that he was kept from the data. Do you have data or not? I thought you had data. Did he just say it? Josh, did he just say it? There's all this data. This is weird because now he goes on to tell you how he was kept from the data, which is also false. Go ahead. There's a good chance that President Trump feels like he is under threat. were not allowed to ask, basically, was there any linkage between what took place with Asif Mershant, who was recruited by the Iranians to come to America to recruit proxies to kill President Trump.

42:07The FBI put a confidential human source at him. All this is public now. This is all out there in the open. And he's arrested. And then two days later, a sniper takes a shot at President Trump. Stop. Here we go. There we... You see what he does here? This is a trick for, you ever see that Bane Batman movie? For the uninitiated. This is a trick people use on the uninitiated. They know people because the human mind is desperate to create patterns. It's how you survive. The human mind doesn't think in segmented moments. It tries to create patterns. Your mind will actually fill in blanks in your visual field when you're reading at times because what you're seeing and stimulated with is not what's happening in your brain.

43:02That's a fact. Again, if you have any background in neuropsychology, you can look it up. What you perceive as reality is not what's really going on with the light and auditory stimulation and all of that. Human beings create patterns out of information. It's how you stay alive. So what people do to try to sucker the uninitiated is they use correlation and they infer causation from it. Now, again, earlier in this episode, Joe's out there telling you how Iran's not a threat. Now he's implying, you just heard it. Guys, did we not hear it? That this Iranian plot to kill President Trump through Asif Murchin, who was just convicted, by the way, a Pakistani.

43:46That is a true story. We were deeply involved in that case, the FBI. It's like, well, it was just a couple of days before brother. Now, if you're uninitiated into how this works, you're like, wow, this guy must know something. These two things are connected. This is, that's incredible. They have to be connected. And somebody's hiding it. Gee, what he said in the beginning, President Trump's scared. His words, brother, not mine. President Trump's scared. The gatekeepers are keeping stuff from him. He should be scared. The gatekeeper, I'm keeping some. So just to be clear, President Trump is my personal friend, has been for a long time.

44:26He's Cash's friend, Rackcliffe's friend. Pam, Todd, Pete, everybody knows President Trump personally. And they all have access to this. And we're all hiding from President Trump a plot for the Iranians to kill him through a kid in Butler. We're all hiding it from him because... Wait, wait, I got it. I didn't even... Come on, guys, you got to know who did it. The Jews! It's got to be the Jews! By$7 ,000! We all got it, I guess. And suckers fall for this. Of course, there's no actual evidence any of that's true. The irony is, of all the foreign countries I've met with, I didn't meet with anyone from Israel.

45:19it doesn't matter if you're a sucker you this is what he think he's playing you joe is playing you for a sucker president trump man could have been killed by the iranians i thought the iranians weren't a threat no no no i mean i'm telling what i'm saying well what are you saying he goes on later in the interview to say by the way oh there's a fatwa an iranian fatwa against developing nuclear weapons number one that's totally fake it's been debunked a thousand times but even assume what he's telling you is true about a fatwa against nuclear uh development assume that it's not assume it is then he goes on five minutes later to tell you how the iranians refused to dismantle their nuclear program joe what story is it bro i thought you just said there was a fatwa against it now you're telling us they're still developing it I thought you're telling us the Iranians weren't a threat now you're insinuating the Iranians killed Trump but I have secret knowledge something happened two days before okay a lot of things happened two days before there may have been a solar eclipse two days before you see how superstitions develop this is how before science people felt there was a you know the sun came out one morning and there was no cloud cover and an insect stung a guy.

46:43Oh my gosh, the sun god doesn't like me. That's the mark of the uninitiated into reason. You want to be part of reason and logic and the advancement of humankind? There's a side of truth and a side of chaos. Pick.

47:05Nothing he's telling you here is true. I've seen all this intelligence folks Outside of this For a second without blaming the Jews Please point to me one reason That Ratcliffe, Pete, Rubio Waltz, me, Cash Todd, Amo, Pam That we'd all All people who couldn't have supported this guy enough Whether you love us or hate us Are all working together to coordinate a message hey keep all this information from Donald Trump by the way as if it wouldn't leak out three years later when God forbid some Democrat gets elected you don't think they would love that look at what all these guys did that evil podcaster bunch they hid all this information here it is that information is never going to come out you know why because it's not there it's not there mark this episode you think there's some secret information the government Joe has about Butler and Charlie and we're all hiding it because no like we all knew Charlie or anything he was only one of my best friends you're right I definitely don't want to get that done

48:25this is possibly the dumbest three minutes I've ever seen in my life really and that's saying a lot from a guy i considered a friend impugning by the way my integrity i didn't walk out the door with some bullshit letter i told the president i would do January and that's what i did we flipped the calendar and that's what i did i only had a year i had a business and a family to get back to and he knew that people just like to lie to you about it there was some turmoil there you'd see me write some stupid ass letter the jews did it go on um we think mershant and the ch we know the chs was talking about the the human source that the fbi put at mershant they were talking about hey we could kill the president potentially with a sniper uh rifle but then they arrest him two days later butler happens and and crooks according to the official narrative anyways is an enigma.

49:26We don't know anything about him. We can't get into his devices. Alright, I'm not going to go into this again. Folks, Joe Kent is a liar. He's doing this correlation thing where this thing happened and this thing happened. But did you notice he never links them at all? I'd say rewind it, but I'm really I'm not even like one 1 ,000 through the show.

49:52he tells you this thing happened with merch on and then this thing happened but did you notice he never once provides the link the guy was the head of the nctc if there's a link this is the greatest story of all time for all the wrong reasons go get a book deal for 10 million there's a link there you don't think president trump could use that link right now like the iranians were involved with thomas crooks and we have evidence of it you don't think that would be a feather in the cap or hey look at these iran strikes we're all hiding it from them for what reason for what can you please give me one logical reason we'd be doing that he has it but he doesn't tell you he said nothing there he said nothing other than this happened and this happen are those two this is connected no not at all and then he says again we know nothing about this guy i just put up the fox article joe i offered you a briefing you didn't take it we did a two-hour interview on this we went over this thousands of devices hundreds of thousands of digital files.

51:09What else? I don't understand. If you have something, say it. I want to hear it. You know something about Butler? Tell the president.

51:26He doesn't know shit because it's not there. So what does he do? He plays the hidden knowledge game. Listen. we just don't know them they have they kept it from me there's like a box somewhere where's the box i don't know you sure there's a box well not really but it sounds good sounds good in a podcast talking amongst each other in the in this podcast circle too by the way people who have no experience in this space have none of these briefings at all talking to guys had the briefing about how no one knows what went on in the briefings amazing one guy wasn't in the briefing the other guy wasn't a lot of these briefings and they still can't figure out what happened in the briefings this happened this happened they're connected are they oh you have evidence they're connected no i i don't have it well i thought you said you had it the biggest bombshell of all time go ahead but then they arrest him two days later butler happens and and crooks according to the official narrative anyways is an enigma we don't know anything about him we can't get into his devices if we did get into his devices maybe there's nothing there no more questions are allowed to be asked about Thomas.

52:37Stop. Just leave him up on the screen. Really? We can't get into his devices. You understood we did get into his. That's just a fact, guys. That's just a fact. Joe doesn't know it because Joe either is lying to you, which he is because he does know that. Joe knows that. And he's faking it. Because Joe was offered the briefing and said no. and we've already gone over this. He's just lying to you because he, I don't know what, he wants to write a book. I don't know what he's doing. He wants to blame the Jews. I have no idea. Go ahead. Crooks, the DHS IG is currently being blocked from investigating.

53:17Stop, stop. That's fake. Joe is lying to you again. Joe is 100 % lying to you. The DHS IG investigation into the Secret Service security plan was not in any way blocked. That is total bullshit. I've met with these guys. That is just a lie. Either Joe is lying to you or Joe doesn't know what he's talking about. There is no option C. IG is currently being blocked from investigating Butler as well. That's out in the media. That's all well known. You're investigating. Wait, stop. That's all well known. That is not true. That is just fake news. Whoever wrote that is lying to you and he should know better go ahead um your investigative journalists found that crooks did indeed have an online persona quite an extensive footprint and he was stop i i just joe just said five minutes ago we had no idea what we quote we don't know anything about crooks and we weren't able to access his accounts so how were we yo we know it was your investigative journal we already had that stuff no one is saying he wasn't communicating with people people talk to other people.

54:28All we're saying is nobody directed him and told him to do it was part of the plan. You see how they conflate two separate things? If I'm talking to Guy one day online about the show and I go and rob a bank, you see what that sucker does? The hidden knowledge sucker? He goes, oh my gosh, Bongino was talking to Guy. And then he went and robbed the bank. And then the uninitiated and to reason go, oh my gosh, Guy must be involved. They are both facts. There's no connection. this is the greatest story ever if there's a big conspiracy of people overseas if you have it joe say it we'll cover it on the show he's not saying it because it doesn't exist go ahead persona quite an extensive footprint and he was talking to people so it's like why why aren't we investigating this you know i mean if an attempted murder of a presidential and murder of a presidential candidate.

55:24And then there's another assassination attempt. There's been multiple public breaches of President Trump's security over the last year. Yeah, correct. And then, you know, Charlie Kirk is killed publicly in a very horrific way. And we're not really even allowed to look into that at all. Okay, okay, listen, folks.

55:45This part, I have to just leave here. This is some of the most disgusting, unethical and immoral stuff I have ever seen. leveraging the death of my good friend, his brutal murder, his assassination that the whole world watched in all of its horrifying gore. For your podcast appearance, you're disgusting. Thank you for your service to the country. You're also disgusting. This is filth. This is just filth. I wasn't allowed to ask questions, Joe Kent I'm just going to leave that there, folks And all you people defending him right now I'll accept your apology later You watch You weren't allowed to ask questions?

56:33Sure about that? Sure you want that on the record, Joe? You weren't allowed to ask questions? Really? Go ahead I wasn't even allowed to look into that at all And Charlie Kirk was one of President Trump's closest advisors. And he also advocated heavily against a war with Iran. He was in the office. He did? That's fascinating because I've had conversations with Charlie too. I don't talk about them because the man's dead and I don't like to invoke his name for podcast clicks, okay? Only to remember him. And I'm not going to do it now. You sure that's how Charlie felt? Matter of fact, I've got a clip of Charlie we're going to play in a minute.

57:17Interesting how you're the only one who seems to know that's a special. Again, here's the hidden knowledge. I've had hidden knowledge about Charlie. Really? Because Charlie wasn't so hidden about that knowledge. Charlie actually said the opposite. But no, no, he said this to me. Were there witnesses to that? It's just interesting how he knows this. Here it is, the gatekeeper thing, too. Charlie was calling out any possible strike in Iran, and all the gatekeepers kept it for him. none of by the way neither one of those things is actually true are we done with this video yet no but you want the charlie one yeah can you go to the charlie here okay here wait joe has hidden knowledge of a conversation nobody witnessed that charlie told him oh let us go to war with iran meanwhile here's charlie in his own words on charlie and you might say charlie do you support or oppose this i support president trump that's my answer i know the man he's the commander-in-chief he's the man for the hour, and he's had the weight of the world on his shoulders.

58:17So in a situation like this, I support my friend, and he's had my back and I have his. That's my perspective. By the way, I also look at this and I say, and I understand the arguments of people that, you know, oh, don't intervene and all that. I get it. But boy, have we not exhausted so many diplomatic channels and options. Here is Netanyahu 261 praising and congratulating President Trump, play cut 261. Joe's a liar. Joe has hidden knowledge, guys. He had a private conversation. So in one sentence he tells you he didn't really know Charlie well, but then I did, by the way. I did. I knew Charlie really well for a long time.

59:04I don't know Charlie really well, but he told me, please stop a war with Iran. Really? It's interesting. He was saying a different thing to his audience. So we're supposed to trust you despite you having lied in the prior, what, two and a half minutes at least 20 times. Lied. I know you lied. I was there. I don't know anything about Butler. You don't know anything? Remember that briefing I offered you you didn't take? You're going to say it didn't happen? I wasn't allowed access into Charlie. You go, really? That's interesting. That's interesting. I'll wait for your apology on that.

59:36there's like a paper trail on that we'll see who's telling the truth again i'll just accept your apology later

59:50play the rest of the video with iran he was in the oval office in the lead-up to the 12-day war i i wasn't particularly close with charlie uh he was very gracious to me when i was running for Congress very, very supportive. And last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this earth was in June in the West Wing in the stairway. And I said hi to him. And he looked me in the eye. And he said very loudly. And it's a small, you've been in the West Wing. It's small. It's a tight space. And he said, Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran. Oh, that's convenient. He was single minded. He walked off and he went, I believe, into the oval.

1:00:28So when one of President Trump's closest advisors who is vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship with the Israelis. And then he's suddenly publicly assassinated and we're not allowed to ask any questions about that. Here he goes again. It's a data point. It's a data point that we need to look into. It's a data point. He has, okay, here he goes again. He doesn't know Charlie, but he's so in tune with Charlie. Charlie shared with him. They had this, he doesn't know him he runs into him in a blink he is right the west wing is very small and that's what charlie says conveniently charlie says to him hey joe uh please stop us from going to war with you folks if you believe that i've got a freaking bridge in brooklyn it's quite old i will sell you for like 10 bucks you really believe that happened despite charlie never saying that to me ever in our multitude of conversations.

1:01:28Charlie, I don't recall Charlie saying that on his show. Matter of fact, we just played Charlie saying the opposite. But no, he shared it with Joe Kent, who just says, I don't know him. And then he slips the Israelis in. Oh, the Jews did it. It might be the Jews. I can't. I can't. I cannot believe people are falling for this bullshit.

1:01:55you know something, brother? You got these data points you keep talking about? Put them out there. Put them out there. You've got some hidden evidence on Charlie or Butler? Put it out there. You want to go down the Candace route? 6 ,000 pieces of data, not a single piece of evidence? Put it out there. That's what chaos agents do. go do it. I got a list. I got info. Tune in next week at$6. $25 just to get in. I'd ask any questions about that. It's a data point. It's a data point that we need to look into. It's a data point, folks. He just won't tell you what it is. Either there's Candace or anyone else.

1:02:46It's just a data point. It's in a black box somewhere. You were in the government. You had the same TSSCI clearance I had. How come you're not telling anybody?

1:03:00You know, it's funny, like people who, the black pillars who are trying to divide this movement like the Grand Canyon so they can hijack it in 2028. I'll tell you people like me and Cash and Rackley, oh, look at this. They're deep state guys. Meanwhile, we're the ones telling you things. You just don't like what you're hearing. The people you lionize and put on a pedestal tell you bullshit. I have data, but I'm not going to tell you. I actually give you the data. whether you like it or not is up to you you voted donald trump in who appointed a bunch of lieutenants to go in there and open the books and we did you didn't like the answer some people then you get this guy goes in there he tells you he's got a bunch of data points never tells you a single one of them makes no connection between 30 different disparate facts and this is your hero it's a data point it's a data point that we need to look it's a data point it's a data point you You mean a data point like the devices and the thousands of interviews that were conducted?

1:03:59That's a data point too, except it's actual data. You just don't like the answer because you don't think the Jews are behind it.

1:04:11Let me just point out, by the way, just a couple of the contradictions. Where is this Joe debating Joe in his own interview? Again, there was an Iranian fatwa against nuclear development. what, just minutes later, the Iranians are not stopping their development of nuclear program. Are you debating yourself? Because you're doing a terrible job. Who won? Joe one or Joe two? Iran's not an imminent threat. Then he implies later on that the Iranians behind the threat or the actual, sorry, action that shot President Trump in the head. Really? You know something there? I thought they weren't an imminent threat, but they were an imminent threat that tried to kill President Trump.

1:04:52folks they're his words I'm sorry if you're a sucker who fell for this those are his words not mine I've been very pleasant this guy was my friend

1:05:06but you're freaking crazy if you think I'm going to let you go out there and pull me into your crazy bullshit oh I was kept from this stuff bullshit and you know it's bullshit that is bullshit

1:05:25again I'll accept your apology later

1:05:32then he says what you know we weren't given access he says it all the time I wasn't allowed to look at anything and then he goes and tells you later he's got this special piece of information the data point I've got the data point what is it Were you not given access Or is there a data point out there That you just won't say You're falling for this bullshit Are you insane How are you falling for this This is a scam No different than Freaking three card Monty This is a bullshit scam I wasn't given access But I got a bunch of data points Really how'd you get them if you weren't given access I guessed Other kids

1:06:22Candace does the same thing She didn't even have access I got a bunch of information Do you have any evidence? No, none Tune in at 6, whatever

1:06:35You know something? Say it You know something? Say it you got information about Charlie about Butler you got special information about Epstein you've got special information we're all hiding it we're all the secret cabal of like Trump's friends who are magically trying to sabotage Donald Trump for some reason only you know but say it put it out there grow a pair of balls those two things hanging between your legs Grow them Put it out there

1:07:17Instead you want to rage at the people who told you the truth While declaring nothing is happening Nothing's happening Then something happens Well nothing else is happening Then that happens Well nothing else else is happening I have secret information I would have done it different You wouldn't have done shit You sat on your ass and did nothing you complain on Twitter claiming you have secret information and that the gatekeepers are keeping information from Trump while you do nothing you know him, call him up a lot of these people know him, they have his number call him up give him your data data points oh you don't have it?

1:08:07these people overload you with information and underwhelm you with facts don't fall for data point it's a data point it's a data point and of course you got to blame the jews because that's like the boogeyman when you don't have an answer and you can't connect two things. Asif Merchant was being investigated for a plot to assassinate Trump. Thomas Cook shoots Trump. Yeah, those are two facts. Yeah, is there a tie? Do you have it? No, I don't have it, but they're definitely related. How? How? Do you have that information? No. Ah, the Jews. And then suckers are like, oh, definitely the Jews. The Jews.

1:08:47Do you have any evidence of that either? Because let me tell you something. It's a data point. It's a data point. If it was the Jews or the Israelis i want to know produce it produce it let's see it here's gutfeld you got that gutfeld clip here's greg gutfeld by the way he's kind of a libertarian too here's gutfeld and dana perino on the five last night saying the exact same thing like do you guys have any actual evidence like this israeli thing like because this just seems like a cop-out for every single thing you guys make up in your hidden knowledge black box here what's in the black box, definitely the Jews.

1:09:23Check this out. Big things that is emerging is this criticism that started early on in the war, which is that Israel made Trump do it. Yeah. And that's and that and the president's rejected that. Carolina, they've all rejected that, except for that there is a strain that wants that to be the issue. But it's but that has been that has been disproven by history. You have 40 years of Trump talking about Iran. He said what he was going to do to to Iran in the 80s. He actually telegraphed what he was going to do to the island of Krog or whatever it's called. It's also interesting because Someone in the chat laughing at the hidden knowledge.

1:10:01You should be laughing because it's the mark of a sucker. I have hidden knowledge I'm not going to disclose to you. Tune into my podcast at 6.

1:10:16Right, Justin's going to I'm going to make an announcement about an announcement on my show. Then I'm going to get to my show and announce at a future date, I promise you I'm going to disclose some hidden knowledge. Then you announce it every day, the future date, but never actually announce the knowledge. Did you not see this pattern?

1:10:36I'd rather be down to one listener than to fall for that shit.

1:10:42All right, I want to take a quick break, and then I want to show you how, folks, this is important you know Norm Eisen this left wing lawyer we have to walk and juggle at the same time not even chew gum we got to walk and juggle I'm getting a little tired too with some of the people oh I'm above this we don't need the podcast wars or whatever it's not a podcast war cut this shit you know exactly what this is about you've got a bunch of people using a wedge issue foreign affairs and our relationship with Israel to come in and hijack the MAGA movement, attack everybody in it because they have money involved with their preferred 2028 candidate who's not what you think.

1:11:29I told you to bookmark this show and I mean it. But we have got to fight off these leftists too because they're not kidding around and they're using these doomers because they know exactly what they're doing. If you can't fracture it from the outside, then fracture it from the inside. Quick break. I'm going to show you this clip. By the way, when the left tells you who they are, listen to them. Hey, think about this. In 2006,$20 ,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at the spot price. At today's prices, those 33 ounces would be worth over$150 ,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals.

1:12:13That's why I buy gold from Birch Gold Group, have for a long time, B-I-R-C-H. It's a crucial part of my balanced financial strategy. It gives me peace of mind, given all the events that can impact the U.S. economy. We've seen inflation over the years. This is my hedge. See if holding gold in a tax shelter retirement account is right for you, too. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA of 401k into an IRA in gold. Just text my last name, Bongino, B-O-N-G-I-N-O, to the number 989898 to receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, me included, let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold.

1:12:56That's peace of mind. That's Birch Gold, B-I-R-C-H. Text Bongino, my last name, to 989898. Give him a shot. Text my last name, Bongino, to the number 989898 today. Message and data rates apply. Thank you, Birch Gold. So again, we have to protect our own movement while simultaneously fending off the left. These are not optional, folks. Someone wrote in a piece like, we didn't ask for this podcast, bro, fight. I didn't ask for it either. Either did Ben or Dana or Mark or anyone else. nobody asked for this but however a lot of these people you included we're not special because we have a microphone it's not special about us we're activists in the movement just like you are we may have an audience doesn't we have no superpowers those of you who've been through this movement and the attacks on the movement from the inside whether from the establishment that lost its way or someone else you've been through this before that's why it's so dangerous i'm sorry you got into movement five minutes ago and you're like oh let's just disregard this oh yeah let's disregard let a cancer rot the whole body no because we're fighting these people this is norm eisen democrat super lawyer basically talking about openly and proud of it how they just wait for these people to be appointed and accept their positions and the lawfare and the lawsuits start immediately again they advertise this they don't hide it.

1:14:26Check this out. We have 152 open legal matters against the Trump administration since January 20th. We filed the first one at 12.01 p.m. We want to file the very first lawsuit. I had somebody listening on their iPhone to the swearing in and standing at the GSA to drop a complaint on them about the Trump Hotel. So, you know, just compelled by circumstances. And when Trump is Trump is ejected as I believe he will be then I'll help stitch up some of the damage and I'll go back to book writing there you go this is why I get so upset when like Chief Justice Roberts says man you can't criticize you know the bench and this stuff listen of course we should no one absolutely no one should ever condone imply they condone it or even like do anything other but condemn political violence at a period no place for it anywhere i can't say it enough it's important but that is a branch of government that reports to the people as well these leftist lawyers like norm eisen and others are abusing the system are abusing prosecutorial discretion are abusing the bench like judge bosberg and others to dictate a political agenda not a judicial one and the left is taking advantage of this.

1:15:50Remember this. The process is always the punishment for the left. The left will drag you in and civilly or criminally prosecute you just for doing your job.

1:16:02They've understood this forever. So what are the fixes? Again, because unlike a data point guy, I actually want to produce data that's useful. Data. What is it? I don't know. Knowledge special. Here are some fixes You just saw the Department of Justice Implement a new policy Where they're going to hire lawyers That have basically a year or less of experience It happens all the time There are circuit court judges and others Who hire law firms That hire people right out of law school I saw a whole bunch of leftists complaining Oh my god, I can't believe it The DOJ is trying to hire new lawyers Yeah, maybe because their old lawyers weren't lawyers They were politicians but then you got the other side again the doomers that joined right in nothing's happening and then when something happens they don't like it i can't believe they're hiring lawyers with you know a little just a little bit of experience everybody does it i thought you wanted new lawyers we got elected to change the government and get rid of the weaponized actors and bring back people who uphold the constitution we're gonna need a better class of judges judges that rule on the Constitution and the law and not on politics like Boasberg.

1:17:16That's going to take time. These judges have lifetime appointments. A lot of them just don't want to retire. There's nothing I can do about that or anyone else. You get in front of, and it's not all judges, by the way. It's not. There are judges who've been appointed by Democrats and Republicans who make pretty sound decisions every day. It's true. I don't want you to completely lose faith in the entire system. However, it only takes a small pocket of judges who are acting as politicians for people, the fidelity of the system falls apart. And there's a lot of them. Those people are going to have to retire.

1:17:52We can't make them retire. That is out of my control and anyone else's. Donald Trump's too. It's going to take time. It's going to take time by us winning elections constantly and getting these people appointed.

1:18:11we already changed all the actors at DOJ Maine. We also have to get new state AGs in there. And even at the state level, we're going to have to elect Republican governors like we did with Ron DeSantis, who changed the entire Florida Supreme Court. Folks, the answers are simple. Getting to the answer is hard. The answer is simple. Just change the people. How do we change the people? we got to win elections. That's the hard part. That's not hidden knowledge. You see how people, oh, I got the answer. Tune in at six for$25. I don't have any hidden knowledge. I'm just giving you the truth. How do we change the government?

1:18:54We got to go win elections. That's the hard part. But Dan, that just seems so obvious because it is. But it's hard. I know. I know. I ran. I didn't win. I love when people point that out Did you run? No I didn't You just sat on the sidelines and complained about others To be clear But on the moral totem pole You're this paragon of virtue Because you never had the balls to actually put your name on a ballot I love that one That one's my favorite

1:19:33Folks you want these lunatics in charge is we have a choice going forward. We just have to win. And we are never going to win with a cancerous rot in our own movement trying to kill the host. We're just not. You know, I try my best as a content creator in this space. I try my best to give other people a shot, whether it's Sean Farish, Graham Allen or others, and try to promote their material as much as I can. Because why? Because it's not about me. It's about a movement, a movement I believe in. And the movement has to outlast me and everyone else. So all I ask these folks is pay it forward. We see Mays Moore on X.

1:20:18I tell you to go to that. It's not our stuff. It's his. Go to his account. Follow it. Why? Because the movement has to outlast all of us. This is a young creator some of you may know. Some of you may not. She's excellent. It's a woman named Caitlin Bennett. She does a really good job with man on the street interviews showing you the insanity of the left. We don't win elections. These are the people who are going to be appointing United States attorneys, judges, people at DOJ Maine, state AGs and state judges. These are the people who are going to appoint them. You think you're going to live in a free country with these people in charge?

1:20:53Check this out. What is that more in common with, a Trump supporter or a radical Islamist? Um, radical Islamist. You saw someone wearing one of those red hats chanting, Make America Great Again, or you saw someone shouting, Allahu Akbar running down the breezeway here. Who would you feel more safe with? The one shouting, Allahu Akbar, yeah. You would support the radical Islamists. Yeah. What is it about Trump supporters that you don't think you'd get along with them so well? I'm gay. But you would get along with a radical Islamist? Yes. And you're gay? Yes. In solidarity with radical Islamists, Would you look at the camera and say in solidarity, Allahu Akbar?

1:21:32Allahu Akbar. And would you say make America great again in solidarity with the Trump supporters? No. What is a bigger threat to America today? Radical Islam or Trump supporters? Trump supporters. I say Trump. Trump supporters in MAGA. Yeah, yeah. I would say Trump supporters in MAGA. I would have to go with the Trump supporters. Trump supporters. Trump supporters in MAGA. Trump supporters in MAGA. I'd say MAGA. But we should be able to allow people to be who they are. Yeah. Even if they're a radical Islamist. Yes. There's no right to judge that. So if someone came running down the street, Allahu Akbar, or if there was someone on the opposite side saying, make America great again, got my red hat on, which side would you run to?

1:22:15I don't know. Thank you, Caitlin Bennett, for your wonderful work. I strongly recommend you follow her and support her content. do you know her dan never met her maybe i met her at an event but i don't really know her well but amazing work you want those people in charge you want to see how the government got to this point now where donald trump has spent the last you know year and close to a half right now trying to clean up this mess because people like that have appointed everyone from judges to bureaucrats to united states attorneys to people in the social security administration to people in the fcc the the SEC, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

1:22:54You got people appointing people, their own like-minded people who think like that inside the government. You think they advertise who they are when a Republican gets elected? No, they hide. They try to wait out the four or eight years and then they come back with a vengeance.

1:23:11You know, as Caitlin Bennett at, write this down, K-A-I-T, sorry, my eyes are getting bad, M-A-R-I-E, is that zero or OX? OX, I'm sorry. My eyes are not that great. Caitlin Bennett on X, verified account. Pay it forward, everyone. Listen, guys, I have a lot more. These guys are probably laughing. They're like, you're going to get to any of the actual show? Here's the thing I'm kidding. We got into a third of the first page.

1:23:46Oh, yeah. Yeah, you know what? We should. We should go out. This is a perfect time, actually. And by the way, tomorrow, we got to do that nothing is happening clip again with the nothing is happening file, all those files we have with cash. All this stuff we talked about yesterday, like fentanyl deaths are down. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. By the way, I just learned this because I've been out for a couple months. I know we had Operation Summer Heat, but in New Orleans, where we flooded the zone with FBI agents out there doing actual criminal work, it's the first time at Mardi Gras they never had a homicide.

1:24:20I didn't even know. I found that out yesterday from him because the stats were updated after I left. But nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. Nothing. Crime rate, murder rate, all time low. Public corruption cases all over the place. Antifa, first ever. Nine of them convicted. First ever Antifa. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. BLM. Oh, nothing's happening. More Antifa. Nothing's happening.

1:24:45Morons. You want this guy in charge, by the way? Folks, you remember Kank from The Young Turds? There is not a crazier SOB anyway. I had him on my show at a debate one time. I don't know what happened if he took sedatives or whatever, but I don't know. Like, the guy's always been a lunatic. Here's Kank from The Young Turds. He's on Piers Morgan's show, and I don't even know what happens here. Listen, man, I'm not knocking the guy for yelling. I'm a yeller myself. I'm not. I want to be clear. Like, I got the queens in me. I get passionate too. The problem is It's not what he That he's saying It's not the form It's what he's saying It's the content This is a guy who again Everything is the Jews All the time This is what I'm talking about By has hidden knowledge The Jews did it Has no evidence That what he's saying Is actually true The Jews did it Disconnects things And then just screams about it Because if he screams louder You'll really believe it If you missed this yesterday This is a classic Watch the crash out Check this out You don't think Jen get your check I can prove it.

1:25:48I can prove it. I can prove it. So tell me if we should put American troops or Israeli troops in. Okay, why are we putting our guys in? Ben Ferguson, that traitor, said that it was no big deal that 13 Americans died. It's a huge deal that 13 Americans died. Why do you send your goddamn Israeli friends into a war? They started it. They started it. It was never said by me. Never said by me. You know what? I'm never going to let anyone else on this program talk because the minute I start talking, they start interrupting. Oh, Israel's the greatest. Israel's the greatest. They bribed all of our politicians.

1:26:29It is exceedingly clear. So stop working for Israel, you corrupt sons of bitches. Work for America. Here's your solution. Here's your solution. And it's super simple. We get the fuck out of there. We have zero interest in there. None, none, none. So let Israel, who started this war, deal with their own war. You put in the ground troops. You put in the ground troops. Ben Ferguson, answer this question. Should we be sending Israeli ground troops or American ground troops? I think there's no major ground troop movements because the president's made it clear we're not invading the country. If you listen to what he said, you would already know that and not have to ask that question.

1:27:06If we put in ground troops, now that's another lie he'll come back and say, oh, I always said we would have put in ground troops. You know what? I'm going to call an answer to this. American or Israeli? The truth is... American or Israeli? Which ground troops? Trink, calm down. The truth is... I'm just going to let that segment speak for itself.

1:27:30That's who you're dealing with. You want these people in charge? Yes, we have to walk and juggle at the same time. Listen to me, folks. Before I get out of here, move the chair back like I'm going to get up and walk over to them. chair's red by the way you ever see they didn't like it they thought the red gee thank you Justin did gee was like I don't like the red chair it's distracting I said well you can start gee ink and then you can get your own chair that's okay right gee that's what the red chair how you didn't like the red chair he's like it was distracting but uh seriously guys um

1:28:15The movement's got to be about truth, man. And I'm not Emily Dickinson, okay? I'm not trying to be melodramatic with my words. I mean it in the literal sense of the word. If we're not going to be anchored in truth and facts, then you're going to be spun by hoaxers and magicians and people who use old tricks for the uninitiated into reason. And that's how movements fall apart into Tower of Babel-like chaos. Everybody's speaking a different language. The Jews killed Charlie. The Jews killed the president. The Arabs killed the president. And nobody can agree on anything because nobody trusts anyone anymore.

1:28:57And then everything just falls apart. If you really believe President Trump is surrounded by people who hate him, who he knows and he appointed and just suckered him. I'm so smart. I suckered him into the position. I did dance, you see. He did a little spell, Les Borelda-like spell. Mr. President, he was like, transfixed by my verbal legisdomain. If you believe that, I'm sorry, you're an idiot. And if you believe, too, that the people spewing out a series of facts, they tell you they have the connection in a hidden box, and it's a data point, but never actually give you the data point or make the connection, they're engaging in Tower of Babel chaos.

1:29:45It's a data point. Because they'll never get to the point. It's a data point. But they'll never tell you what it is. Because there's clout with a certain group of lunatics by pretending you have information you don't have. The hard show today. And I know we'll get probably a good significant amount of backlash from all the right people. but that's okay i told you when i said i was born for this shit i'm not kidding i know exactly what comes with this that's fine thanks for tuning in you got haley coming up at noon you got vince every day at 8 a.m on rumble vince colon ace and haley caronia please don't miss the shows they're great uh folks also if you don't mind please go to i'm sorry man it's just the show today took a lot Academy.
