The Future of Warfare Is On Display (Ep. 2466)

26:33Folks, if you are a regime, if you are the mob, it doesn't matter Any organization, IBM, the mob, the Iranian regime I'm not comparing three, I'm saying any organization If you don't have command, control, and effective communication You don't have an organization You have a loosely knit group of uncoordinated people Who are all going to do their own thing

26:58Wall Street Journal piece pointed this out yesterday how the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force's efforts at decapitation, where we're now down to Joey Bagadon, it's the mullah 17 times removed, that nobody even believes that person's in charge right now. They can't even effectively put that up. Wall Street Journal, are you guys okay in there? Okay. Sheesh. If at first you don't succeed, die and die again. This is a great piece by Kevin Cohen. he's talking about these three c's command control and communication when you wipe out the 10 15 layers of mullahs he says the doubt ripples outward commanders delay orders until legitimacy is confirmed rival factions position themselves cautiously security services turn inward searching for the infiltrators decision cycles lengthen under pressure these elongated elongated decision cycles become fragile.

27:59The strategy depends on intelligence rather than brute force. Accounts service staffed the attack that Israeli intelligence had achieved sustained visibility into Tehran's surveillance ecosystem, allowing their analysts to track Iranian leaders' movements. Folks, they have nothing but chaos right now, the Iranians. Nothing. They have no effective command. having no effective command, they have no effective control, they don't know who the spies are and who aren't, and they can't communicate because every time they beam up a device, boom, you're dead. It's incredible how many black pillars and doomers, who again have another agenda that's not yours, are so eager to claim victory for the Iranians despite a single shred of evidence they're winning anywhere.

28:52here's trey yanks from fox just this morning talking about again exactly what i just told you guys it's about a 30 second clip that they have no way to communicate how are you going to forcefully repress the country of 90 million people iran without any of the three c's you can't do it check this out senior israeli official telling fox news that the iranian regime is having trouble coordinating and communicating as these strikes intensify against the Iranian capital of Tehran. They're going after what they call the repression mechanism of the regime, the IRGC headquarters, the Basij headquarters, and other locations where officials were commanding the crackdown on protesters earlier this year.

29:37It comes as the IDF released a new video today showing an F-35 fighter jet shooting down an Iranian warplane over the skies of Iran, the first dogfight and kill for the Israelis since the 1980s. Folks, an Israeli advanced Generation 5 fighter jet against like Iranian effectively like Cessnas in the sky with a.38 pistol, that's not even a fair fight. And it shouldn't be a fair fight. Secretary Hegseth said it right. You're damn right we're going to kick you in the nuts when you're down. That's what winning a war looks like. The Iranians could surrender today. We're going to give up our nuclear weapons program, stop with the Death to America stuff.

30:23They don't want to. I'm going to do that with producer Jim. Why don't they give up? Because they don't want to. So they're going to die. I don't take any kind of solace or joy at anyone's death. But if it's us or them, it's them.

30:44why you would mess with the United States military with the profound technological advantage and experience advantage is beyond, you just, this is like suicide by cop, except suicide by military. Folks, I'm gonna take a quick break. And the other side, I wanna play this video just surfaced on the web. I saw it at Eric Daughtry's account on X. I can't verify if it's authentic or not. I'm just gonna tell you, it's interesting. Even if it's not, the point is still valid. It is a video of Iranians celebrating the bombing of their own city. But there's some takeaways from this besides the obvious. I'll share with you coming up in a second.

31:28Quick break here. Ladies and gentlemen, Blackout Coffee. John from Blackout just sent us a whole new supply of the new Bongino Army blend. You know I love my coffee.

34:08No, think about this. Think this through. These Iranian citizens hate their government so much, but are comfortable enough that the patriotic heroes in the American military and the IDF will not deliberately target them as innocent civilians. I want you to think about that second point, folks, because it's not just some incidental throwaway. You don't see this happening in Israel when a ballistic missile lands in Tel Aviv. You don't see Israelis celebrating the bombing of their own city. You see them in shelters because they know the Iranians will target civilians. You guys picking up this point?

34:51Is this making sense? Nowhere else on earth are you so comfortable with the American military and the IDF that you're on a balcony while the city's being bombed because you're reasonably confident you won't be targeted and you hate the regime so much, you're celebrating your own city. That is not a throwaway point. Digest that one. Intake, input it, process what I'm telling you for all the America haters out there.

35:19And please don't fall for this deliberate op. I hear all these commentators now talking about ops, ops. The ops are mostly coming from the other side. Black pillars, liberal media people, and Democrat strategists trying to fracture the Republican Party over everything. Endorsements, Israel, the Middle East, the economy, tariffs. I see it every day. There's a mutiny going on in the Republican Party, guys. Did you hear? It's from the experts, by the way. They told us. It's all falling apart. The MAGA coalition. It's all falling apart, folks. You know who says it? The extremely reliable, and I say that with a heavy dose of sarcasm, possibly the heaviest dose of sarcasm, the Washington Post.

36:03There's a mutiny. MAGA is Trump. President fires back at right-wing mutiny over around. There is no mutiny, folks. This is all bullshit, doomer, black pillar, liberal media bullshit designed to fracture you before an election to drive down approval ratings and voter enthusiasm so Republicans lose and Donald Trump can get impeached. That is all this is. Put a period at the end of that sentence. Please do not fall for it. There are varying opinions about how long this war should last, if there should be troops on the ground or not. who should be targeted what should the goals be those are great I love the fact that this party debates this stuff in our own tent but don't believe the bullshit that this is some big mutiny it's like 10 people who are out there ginnin' up a bunch of bullshit MAGA Civil War yeah we talked about, thank you Justin we just talked about this yesterday if you want more coverage on this don't miss yesterday's show MAGA Civil War with a question mark because there's no thank you.

37:16Here's Carol Markowitz, good friend of mine, put out this tweet yesterday. If there's a mutiny in a MAGA Civil War, then how come the numbers don't show it? Do you guys believe in data? You Washington Post people. She's at Carol with a K. The last Fox News poll at 84 % CNN poll had 77 % of Republicans in support of the strikes. So where's the mutiny? Four people on Twitter? She's right. If you're going to declare there's some kind of mutiny and major schism within the party like we covered at length on yesterday's show, produce the digits, produce the data, produce the numbers. I'd love to see it.

37:51And by the way, the liberal media types pushing this bullshit, mutiny, MAGA coalition collapsing nonsense, the liberal media types pushing this don't even know anything about combat, the history of war in the United States. They don't know anything. I'm not suggesting you need to be a Naval Academy level PhD in military tactics. Back to Thermopylae and elsewhere. I'm just saying no basic facts. Did you see this video yesterday? By the way, this is a video of Fetterman and Manu Raju from, I think, CNN. I don't even know. I don't vote Democrat ever. However, Fetterman is right in this exchange. And even Fetterman starts to question himself when he gets corrected by Manu Raju.

38:39The last time Congress declared war was World War II. That's a fact. Fetterman states this. And then Manu Raju corrects him, except Manu Raju is not correct. And even Fetterman's like, wait, do I have this wrong? This is why you never listen to the liberal media. They don't even know anything. I told you that. I used to travel around with these guys as an agent. When you're new, you're the press agent. They are some of the dumbest people on planet Earth. I'm not kidding. Not all of them, but they're really stupid. Check this out. Congress asserted its constitutional role and actually voted to declare war the way it did with Iraq and Afghanistan.

39:18Well, the last war we've actually declared was World War II. No, Iraq and Afghanistan. They're all great. Iraq and Afghanistan. Okay, so for me right now, what is it now? Okay. the war powers resolution 60 days and we're 100 hours into this now what's this point i want to say on this it's like you know we can't keep our government open folks i'm not going to be one of these liberal media types who just lies about people i would never vote for fetterman under any circumstances however he was right the last time we declared war was world war ii The authorization for the use of military force was not a declaration of war.

40:04It was different. Manu Raju doesn't even know that. Here's what bothers me about it, too. I don't want to pick nits. Everybody in the media space eventually gets something wrong. It happens. You can't know everything about everything all the time. You can't. You're going to get, who's the leader of Kriplakistan? Someone's going to be like, I got to look. It happens all the time. Even the smartest people in the space Get dinged on a fact that wasn't on the top of their head The problem I have with this exchange And I want to like pile on Madhu Raju The problem I have with this exchange is If you are doing any reading at all On what's going on right now in Iran Nearly every single significant article about this Has mentioned the fact That the last declaration of war was World War II I've read 100 articles on it It's impossible to miss That says to me that Manu Raju And his liberal buddies don't even read If he wouldn't have known that Six weeks ago, before the strikes In Iran, okay, whatever It's probably a tidbit a lot of media people don't know If you're reading anything about this Right now, that has come up That's what pisses me off About the whole thing, even Federman's like Wait, am I right?

41:19Yes, you're right, John and here's the, what I'm talking about, here's the doom, you want to see doomers? Here is one of the worst doomers, and this guy's like the king of the doomers. You know Bill Kristol, a guy who changes his mind, he licks his finger every day, and changes his mind based on where he thinks the anti-Trump wins are going. This guy, keep this up a second, has totally and completely eviscerated any credibility he may have thought he had left. Here he is on Twitter back in January. Banchi at Red State points this out. Here's Bill Kristol. He's talking about how the Trump administration should be helping the Iranians overthrow the cruel dictatorship rather than threatening Denmark.

42:02But that would require having an administration that supports American interests and principles. Okay, so there's Bill in January. His principles are, my principles. You need to go help the Iranians overthrow his words. His words right there, it's on the screen. Here's Bill Kristol just the other day. Same guy. Maybe Rubio should stop inventing, quote, imminent threats to justify the war his administration started and get back to doing the job of helping Americans in the war zone. They create. I can't with these guys. I can't. Folks, I can't with these guys. Now, you know, that movie about Churchill, the Gary Oldham movie.

42:46Pretty good movie. You know, it says at the end, you know, people who never change their mind don't change anything. And that's true. As new inputs come in, you can form and should form new outputs based on reason and logic. There's no reason for you to stick to an old idea when new ideas debunk what the old idea was. Happened to me inside the government. You see things. We won the election. We got to look at things. Your opinions change based on new inputs. Bill Kristol, nothing's changed. This was just January. Help the Iranians. Trump helps the Iranians. What are you doing helping the Iranians?

43:18What's the input? The input is exactly what you asked to happen happened. That's the only input. Nothing changed. The Darkest Hour. There you go. Good movie. I enjoyed it. Bill Kristol is totally full of shit. This is when I'm talking about the doomers. This is the monarch of the doomers. Everything Trump does is bad. He doesn't have the balls or the nutsack to ever come out on Twitter and say, Hey, thanks, man. Good job. maybe tomorrow I'll hit you again for something different, but as of today, thank you, Mr. President, good job. Other establishment GOPers I've seen are finally coming around.

43:57Not this canoe. Now, it's funny how these people want you to believe, like, oh, look at us, we're the ones with the principles. We're the old guard of the GOP, we're protecting timeless principles. You're protecting nothing. Your principles aren't principles because you just changed them when Trump did what you asked him to do on Iran. That's not a principle, that's bullshit. Now I'm going to show you people who have had pretty timeless principles when it comes to foreign interventions. Here is a video of Donald Trump. Yes, the president of the United States for the left. Here's President Trump back in 2016.

44:38By my math, that's about 10 years ago. Justin's giving me the thumbs up. He's doing the calculations now. 10 years ago. he's probably not the abacus we haven't we haven't used jay's abacus in a long time here's trump back in 2016 talking about the iran deal this is transactional donald trump i can't tell you this enough he is a queen's guy if we are going to go to war for in iraq or in iran or anywhere else what is in it for the united states oh my god what do you mean what's in it for the exactly what he said. What is in it for us? Here he is in 2016 saying nearly the exact same things he's saying now.

45:21But you get the, oh, my principal. No, he actually has them. You don't. That's what bothers you. Check this out.

45:26Dan Bongino:Obama is very unhappy with Iran because he feels that they haven't lived up to the spirit of the agreement. What the hell did he think was going to happen? They defaulted on day one. I mean, they were doing things on day one and everyone was telling him, he said, that can't be possible. That's the way life works. These are vicious people. But the saddest part of that deal is so much of this money is already gone. Just gone. $150 billion right out the tubes. And what do we get? We got nothing. We got nothing. They got the money and the prisoners should have been released years ago before we started negotiating.

46:03Dan Bongino:Years ago. We got nothing. You know what? I love when you get the clown class on X and elsewhere, too. I'm telling you, the doomers, they can't shut the... Like, oh, man, Dan, you're just, you know, putting a shine on this guy. I'm just playing his own words, dipshits. Those are his words. I didn't give that speech. He's been saying the same thing for 10 freaking years. For longer than that. I played a video from the 80s the other day. the 80s you know like after the 70s and before the 90s and the aughts here's another one you're talking about principles here's rubio 11 years ago by the way he looks the exact same but yeah right doesn't he you guys say we put like genu cell or something what's he got what are you using man i'm getting old i'm starting to fall apart rubio got some kind of special stuff he's taking NAD or whatever.

47:02Mr. Secretary, you know my number. Give me. I need the routine, whatever you're doing, because I ain't aging like that. This looks like it could have been filmed 10 minutes ago. Here's Rubio 11 years ago, making some predictions about what was going to happen if we appease Iran. Every single one of them came true. Again, principles? These guys actually have principles. It's the Bill Kristall Dumer class that doesn't. Check this out. I do want to be recorded for history's purposes before I know what was going to happen in regards to this if it goes through. Iran will immediately use the money that it's receiving in sanctions relief to begin to build up its conventional capabilities.

47:40It will establish the most dominant military power in the region outside of the United States, and it will raise the price of us operating in the region. They're going to build anti-access capabilities, rockets capable of destroying our aircraft carriers and ships, continue to build these swift boats that are able to come on us, these fast boats that are able to swarm our naval assets. And it'll make it harder and harder for U.S. troops to be in the region. They'll also work with other terrorist groups in the region to target American servicemen and women. And they may or may not deny that they're involved, but they will target us and raise the price of our presence in the Middle East until they hope to completely pull us out of that region.

48:18Again, who has the timeless principles? I'm not putting a shine on anything I'm playing their own words You judge for yourself Who was right and who was wrong? Clearly The Donald Trump, Marco Rubio Foreign diplomacy team Has been consistent For about 10 years Have given the Iranians a number of shots Whether in 45 or early 47 The Iranians flipped off The double barrel middle finger And now everything they said Was going to happen, happened And now the Iranians are finding out.

48:58Folks, they have been completely consistent about it. Now I want to compare and contrast because foils matter. Diamonds on a black background. Contrast matter. That same clip of Donald Trump and Rubio showing consistent principles they've used to guide their inputs to make decisions and an output on Iran is completely different than the Democrats who've changed their mind on everything. The Democrats and the Doomer crystal class. They changed their mind based on how they feel about Trump. That's the only input that matters to them. What makes Trump look bad? Here's Bill Malugin, reporter at Fox, excellent reporter.

49:38He's confronting the Democrat House leader, Hakeem Jeffries, just, by the way, a total buffoon. For as much as I couldn't stand Nancy Pelosi, at least she was a tactician, a wealthy one too, apparently. This guy is just an idiot, which is better for us, by the way. He is, he's a total buffoon. Here he is, he's asked a simple question that he's totally unprepared for. Because like Manu Raju, he's done no homework at all. He's like, hey, you guys keep talking about like declarations of war, war authorizations. Obama bombed Libya, you guys didn't seem to care about that. Matter of fact, you said it wasn't even necessary.

50:15Are you telling me he wasn't prepared for this question? That's exactly what I'm telling you. Because watch his puzzled, stupid response. This is about a minute long, and then you'll hear Pelosi at the end say the exact opposite position than they have now. This is priceless. Talk about no principles. Check this out.

50:33Dan Bongino:In 2011, Nancy Pelosi said that then President Obama didn't need congressional approval to bomb Libya. Now House Democrats say President Trump needs that approval to bomb Iran. What's the difference? Well, obviously, Libya and the circumstances connected to that were very different than the circumstance that we face in Iran right now. I mean, I don't even understand the genesis or basis of that question. I'm not suggesting that you're not asking it in good faith. Libya went on for seven months. As I've indicated, first of all, it was not in Congress at the time. So we're dealing with what we're dealing with right now, which is a catastrophic, endless war, as Donald Trump has characterized it.

51:10The administration is not even pretending like they have intelligence or information at this point publicly. And certainly there's been nothing that has been presented to us privately.

51:21Dan Bongino:Madam Leader, you're saying that the president did not need authorization initially and still does not need any authorization from Congress on Libya? Yes.

51:35Again, I'm just playing their clips. How, Hakeem Jeffries How, Mr. Jeffries How were you unprepared for that question? How? At least make up an answer that sounds coherent You guys sound like idiots

51:55I can't get over like the Bill Kristol Dumer class How they like, they continuously They align with these idiots in the liberal media Who don't even know the last time we declared war was World War II One of them Hasn't even read an article about it Hakeem Jeffries is totally unprepared for a basic question about what was going around on social media for days. Here's Nancy Pelosi saying Obama doesn't need authorization. Well, why does Trump? Oh, because he's Trump. That's not a fucking answer, man. That's just you expressing pique and just your distaste for Donald Trump. You look like an idiot.

52:30It's amazing how you're constantly critiquing Donald Trump for being too emotional and discursive in his speech style. And yet you idiots actually express your emotions and your stupidity in your own speech and your actions.

52:49Rosie, Rosie Riveter, zero, zero. It's a good one. Endless war, but it hasn't even been a week. Okie dokie. Yes. Rosie Riveter. I like that. Speaking of World Wars. It hasn't even been a week. They have no answers. Now, let me just take a quick break in a second here. That's my signal with God. It's like this. It's like the Winky Night. You're not supposed to say this stuff, by the way. But because this show is like a family and you guys, I wish you could all be in the studio with me. We don't care. Look, and he even put the thing up on the screen. There are risks on both sides here. And I'm like, this is, okay, serious time.

53:34the risk to the Democrats here is very real if and this is a big if because Rosie Riveter 00 is correct we're only five days in folks a lot of really bad things could happen we need to be clear on that we don't want to be like dumb liberals and be like Pollyanna-ish either it's not Trump's fault per se but there are so many variables in combat there could a lot of bad things could happen I'll go that direction first And we shouldn't be too utopian in our vision of what the Iranian future is going to look like either It's been a dystopia forever And we have to stay open-minded about what the goals are Ballistic missiles, taking out terror proxies Basically decapitating the death-to-America leadership Making sure they don't have a navy where they can shut down the Straits of Hormuz we have to keep those goals in mind and once those goals are reached we have to we have to then back out unless the goals change but you have to be clear on that so we the republican MAGA camp the united MAGA camp not the fake mutiny we have to be careful to not get out ahead of ourselves either rosie's correct it's only a few days in however the democrats have a real problem too the democrats are now on video digital recording audio recordings twitter x tiktok snapchat whatever elsewhere youtube rumble they are now out there basically declaring victory for the iranians already if this works out well for us in the end and there is a new group of iranian leadership it's not so much friends of the United States, but just are in enemies.

55:23I don't want to call them moderates because there are really no mullah moderates. But say they give up the nuclear program. I mean, imagine if they go to the Abraham Accords, that would be just monumental. I'm not even there yet. If we just get a non-death to America chanting crowd in charge, we've completely neutered their ability to attack with ballistic missiles, drones, destroyed their nuclear capability and their Navy's ability to shut down the strait, then folks, do you want to be a Democrat running for re-election, talking about what a shitstorm this was going to be when in fact it wasn't?

55:59There's a lot of headline risk for both sides here. Regardless of what you think about Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen, it's a republic. You're allowed to have whatever opinion you like. This took a lot of balls to do. There's a lot of risk for him, and he knows that. You don't think he was told by his military leadership that, hey, a lot of things could break bad here. And he still did it because he didn't want to pass the football down the field to the next president to have to deal with a nuclear Iran.

56:36It took a lot of guts. Time's going to tell. We have to be responsible on both sides. But I got to tell you something. I wouldn't want to be a Democrat five days in already declaring this thing over. We lost. I think that's really foolish. Quick break, and I want to show you probably the most important piece of video from, I believe, a retired now vice admiral in the Navy on Fox about an issue we are not going to have to deal with in the future. we have to deal with in the now. And the only way to stop this right now acute threat is going to have to destroy the supply chain. There's no way around it.

57:19Everyone's life's going to change if we don't get a hold of this problem quickly. Stay tuned, quick break. My Patriot Supply, folks, if a major disruption happened. Listen, you've seen the headlines in the news, okay? Between storms and war and all this stuff. You have to be prepared. Reduce your anxiety. Oh, prepper. You're damn right I prepare.

1:00:36they're going to look up and second every time someone hears a buzz in the sky there's going to be panic this is a now problem not in the future and the only way to effectively stop this is to go to the death to America crowd and people that hate us and interrupt and if we can destroy their supply chain mechanism to send these drones to the United States. Here's Vice Admiral Harward on Fox talking about exactly this. This encompassed probably 10 percent if not more of my meetings while I was at the FBI is taking care of this drone problem. Check this out. This is a real turning point in the war on drones.

1:01:25As we saw in Afghanistan and Iraq, we used drones for ISR. In Ukraine, the Ukrainians started making them kinetic. And now we're seeing mass, you know, swarms. So that's a real differentiator. And I got to believe we're going after the production facilities to ensure we shut down all these elements of power. And I believe if we're not there already, we may be at the tipping point of really shutting down their ability to project power. And when that occurs, a lot of capacity and focus will go on removing the current regime. Folks, I'm telling you just about every meeting I had with foreign partners and elsewhere, the first thing that came up was drones.

1:02:09Meeting about Olympic security drones, meeting about the Super Bowl drones, meeting about what's going on overseas in Europe drones, Meaning about Ukraine, drones. Everything is drones. Because they're cheap, they're effective, and they scare the shit out of people because you can't fly and stuff. Go see what it is. What is that, a bird or a drone? I don't know. A Mylar balloon, if you were here for the pre-show. I'm glad we don't record that stuff. The pre-show was fascinating. The pre-show was amazing. Justin loved it. The Mylar balloons. Dan Bongino-Mylar balloon theory. It's true. Do you guys see this British TV host talking about global threats and what happens overseas?

1:02:55Ladies and gentlemen, listen, I spent a little bit of time, not a lot, in London. And I got to tell you, they were incredibly hospitable. Everyone there, from the bars to the restaurants, we got some tours. It was amazing. I went there on a vacation a couple years ago. I had a blast. You know, Big Ben, you know, London Bridge, all this. You see all the size. Amazing. Amazing. However, I don't think we can deny that the Keir Starmer current government has not exactly been super supportive of our efforts to destroy the Mullah class in Iran. They've not been supportive pretty much at all. This British TV oath, did you see this viral clip?

1:03:38It's about two minutes. I'm only playing about a minute of it. just absolutely unloading on the Starmer government with the letting the unfettered immigration, the mobs in this city just take over, there's rape gangs. They've just destroyed this beautiful place. This lady just rips this guy a new one. This is incredible. Check this out. Our amazing armed forces deserve all the credibility. They deserve good resources. They deserve to have our full support. They deserve to be protected for crying out loud. We were exposed out there. We knew that there was going to be war in that region and we have left them undefended.

1:04:17And now France and Greece are having to run to our rescue. Do you know what? I've got a message, not just for this Prime Minister, but all of you, all of you for the past 20 years. You have been self-indulgent. You have been naive. Your policy principles have had totally the wrong priorities. It's been about keeping your seats, gaining your seats, pandering to communities who will never vote for you, who do not have our interests at heart. You didn't stop those pro-Palestine marches. You didn't prescribe the Muslim Brotherhood. You didn't prescribe the IRGC. You were weak in support of Israel.

1:04:52You sabotaged our self-sufficiency when it comes to energy production, concreting those oil wells, banning exploratory drilling in the North Sea. What on earth do you think you're doing? You're domestic terrorists. You're sabotaging this nation. You're compromising food security by attacking the farmers. Well, guess what? When international maritime shipping routes close down, food can no longer reach our island. Everything that this government and quite frankly, previous governments have been doing for far too long now has been pathetic. It's been weak willed. It has had its eye off the ball.

1:05:27It has been narcissistic. It's been about looking good in public. And at the same time, you have put Britain in a desperately precarious situation.

1:05:41Bump McGroin in the chat. She's going to end up in prison. She very well might with the DSA and all those UK anti-free speech laws. You're not wrong. There are some components of that Labour Party that look more like Soviets. I'm actually afraid to go back a little bit there.

1:06:06that's the way it's done, man. Listen, I'm surrounded by water. We're all surrounded by water. The United States is surrounded by water. But the UK really is surrounded by water. Donald Trump has done all the wet work of cleaning up global shipping lanes in essentially five days. The Iranians have been threatening to shut down global shipping lanes over water for 50 years now. And in five days, he's made substantial improvements to their ability to stop petrochemicals, food supplies, and other things from traversing water and getting to the UK. Good for you, madam. Well done. I don't know who you are, but you're welcome on the show too.

1:06:56Good job. I got some good news for you, especially for the Doomer class, Bill Kristol and others. Liberal media is going to have to bite this one. Major Supreme Court ruling on asylum. Now if you come here and say, I'm an asylee. I'm claiming political asylum. I was being targeted in my country. For what? I don't know. I'm just making it up. Well, Supreme Court's now ruled that they are going to have to defer to immigration officials. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that federal courts must defer to immigration agencies when deciding whether facts qualify as persecution in asylum cases. Big win you probably didn't hear about because the Doomer class, again, wants you to believe all the time nothing's happening.

1:07:39This is the worst. Donald Trump, terrible. It's incredible. Homicide rate lowest, crime rate lowest, borders shut down, economy moving along, Iranian mullahs dead. Talk about expanding the Abraham Accords. inflation relatively tamed even despite global hostilities now over the Straits and elsewhere gas prices not great but not nearly where they could have been if there was another incompetent person in charge thank god we've got a competent president he had Chris Wright out there he had energy secretary trying to quell some of the markets using a backstop for insurance they know what they're doing

1:08:26This happened yesterday too Up on the hill Did you see this exchange? Speaking of illegals Why do the Democrats Listen, I know you guys want to cheat in elections Hello Captain Obvious Anyone in the chat have any doubts? Anyone have any doubts that the Democrats want to cheat in elections? If you do, I'm sorry, you're on the wrong show There's 70 ,000 people here This is the wrong show, you've got to watch another show If you have any doubt, Democrats want to cheat in elections This is the wrong chat room You got to find what his morning zoo shows or something. Of course they want to cheat. That's why they hate the SAVE Act.

1:08:59But there was one particular component of this that I find fascinating. And now the Democrats out of themselves with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem up on the hill yesterday. The Democrats don't want any immigration enforcement anywhere near polling locations.

1:09:19well what no doubt no doubt in the chat well why why is that why is that pretty honest fair question correct check this out you rule out the deployment of ice or cbp to polling places this november there are no plans to have ice officers that are polling locations and i'm glad

1:09:41Dan Bongino:to hear that but would you rule it out would you say it will not happen do you plan on illegal aliens voting in our elections. Why are they so concerned about this? Why do you care so much? The answer is fairly obvious, as everyone in the chat knows, because they like the cheating.

1:10:04My gosh, this can just get any more obvious. Folks, elections matter. We know that. But I'm going to tell you something I haven't been an activist And a candidate And in the government Out of the government Like I said I'm always I'm like a nomad I like to do I like to juggle chainsaws I love the chaos It's the best part I don't want to die Wishing I didn't do something Elections matter That's why we need integrity In our elections And free and fair elections But I'm going to tell you something you probably don't want to hear Especially if you're a politician Folks, endorsements don't matter Except Stand easy I'm going to I'll prove it to you Except obviously, you know where I'm going with this Donald Trump's endorsement definitely matters Anyone telling you otherwise is full of shit You know, put that James Blair tweet up James Blair works in the White House Good guy Donald Trump's endorsement is basically slayed the other day.

1:11:09Everyone President Trump endorsed in last night's races, he's talking about Tuesday, either went outright or advanced to a runoff. This is your occasional reminder that your algorithm or favorite influencer may not reflect real life. That's an elbow from the top ropes right there. He's at James Blair USA and he is correct that Donald Trump's endorsement is definitely a game changer. I'm here to tell you that almost no other endorsement out there matters. Prior to Donald Trump becoming president, honestly, in the chat. No, seriously, tell me in the chat. Have you ever voted for a candidate in the past strictly on an endorsement?

1:11:49Maybe you have. I mean, back in the day, I'm getting old now. Sarah Palin's endorsement had a little bit of whack. but most people don't really vote on endorsements. You'll say you did, but the thing is, I'm not going to be an asshole about it. Most people had a candidate picked out to begin with and a politician they follow endorses them and you're like, oh, well, I voted. No, we're going to vote for that person anyway. Trump's endorsement is a little bit different. It is a mover and a shaker. I need you, though. how many people we got in Texas in the chat? Texas, I need you guys to step up. We got a real problem in Texas right now.

1:12:35We have Beto O 'Rourke 2.0. There was just a primary for a critical United States Senate race. And by the way, I don't know what Donald Trump's going to do. I see some of you in the chat about Cornyn and Paxton. I don't know. Some of you want an endorsement. Some of you want him to stay out of it. That's up to you in Texas. I'm not a Texas voter. I vote in Florida. However, on the Democrat side, can we all agree that the guy who won the Democrat primary for the United States Senate in Texas is a freaking liberal lunatic, Beto 2.0? Folks, Texas, I need you to step up. Please. Read the chat. You guys are great.

1:13:19Look at this guy. He's pretending to be like The preacher from You ever see the movie Footloose? It was just a remake Yeah, the original's better Remember the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon? Just like the 47 degrees of Muller's In the beginning of the show Kevin Bacon was in that movie Footloose The Kenny Loggins song And remember there was the preacher dad? The very, you know, righteous, holy of the now guy They're running this guy Tallarico James Tallarico I grew up with a kid who knew the last name Tallarico Actually looks like this guy too They're running this guy James Tallarico And they're looking, look at this guy He's a Democrat, but he's really like A values, biblical guy And he's going to appeal to Texas Democrats Who love religion, faith, and family Really?

1:14:05Here is, this guy is worse than Beto I can make the case to you This guy's probably more liberal than Jasmine Crockett I'm not telling you that He's telling you that Here's the first video, this is quick of James Tallarico, Texas. You elect this guy. I don't know what we're going to do. Here he is on trans abortion. Huh? Check this out. Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans Texas is something we have to do. What? This is your footloose preacher guy? Oh, we got to really have trans abortion. It's a big issue in Texas, really?

1:14:50Texas voters, does anybody in the chat, anyone, Texas only, you can fake it, I'll never know, but Texas only, the honor system, does anyone in the chat care about trans abortion issues in Texas? Anyone? Anyone looking, looking, looking, lurking, looking, looking, looking no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no okay i think it's unanimous that sample size good enough for me 100 to zero you may say dan you're taking him out of context all right he slipped up he's really footloose preacher guy it was just that one line okay here he is testifying at a committee in Texas where he talks about how there isn't male and female sexes, but there are six of them.

1:15:49Guys, I thought there were 72. Don't you remember? There were like 72. Six is down from, I think, the 72 they were at before. Here is James Tallarico, footloose fake preacher guy. Here he is talking about how there were really six sexes. James, I would love you to explain that using science and your faith. You're a faith, you're a footloose preacher guy, right? Don't listen to me listen to him check this out modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes in fact there are six which honestly representative heppner surprised me too surprised me too because i i am you know i'm not well versed in this this issue area i'm not a scientist i'm a politician a lot worse than a scientist i i love this justin just pointed this out i love this clip this may be my favorite clip of the day you know we have geese favorite clip This is Dan's favorite clip Because he starts the thing up by saying Obviously as if it's tautological and axiomatic Like you're an idiot if you even question this And then he goes on to say How you know I'm not really familiar With this material because I'm not a scientist But I just told you you're a moron If you think otherwise This is the whole Democrat party Morons are six sexes How do you know that?

1:17:01I don't know shit I'm not a scientist So why'd you say it? Because I'm a stupid politician running as Footloose Breacher guy If this guy gets elected Like that Ossoff scam in Georgia I gotta tell you I'm gonna be really disappointed My second favorite state in the union Is not New York where I grew up It is Texas You ask anyone from Texas where they're from They all give you the same answer Justin, right? You ask people in Florida, where you're from? They go, ah, Palm City, Stewart, Orlando You ask people from Texas where they're from? I'm like, Texas They say it like that too Texas That's true.

1:17:37Justin makes a good point. South Florida. South Florida, where the front did you say? New York. She's not wrong. Texas, it's universal. Abilene, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston. The Permian base, it don't matter. Where are you from? Texas. Texas.

1:18:00Badass, you Texans. Badass. You want this guy representing you? How many sexes are there? Six. Do you know that? Obviously. Well, how do you know that? I really don't. I'm a moron. Okay. That's a good answer there, dude. That's your guy. Speaking of elections that matter, the presidential election has already started. No, it hasn't. Yes, it has. Let's not fool each other. Kamala Harris has resurfaced with the cackling. Cesar Romero, the Joker, Kamala has resurfaced Endorses Jasmine Crockett the day before the election Gets smoked and then endorses Six X's guy, Tallarico After he wins Harris' endorsement's the kiss of death, by the way It's like the inverse, the opposite of Trump's endorsement 2028's already begun Don't tell me, oh, we're not ready for You better be because it started Newsom and Harris are already de facto candidates.

1:19:00Forget Harris for a second. I saw this gem the other day creep up. I was going to put in yesterday's show, but I ran out of time. Do you see this tweet by Gavin Newsom about homelessness? He's laughing because the Wall Street Journal piece, which it's been sitting out there for like five or six days. I know, I know. It's like an inside joke. Put up the Newsom tweet first. Here's Gavin Newsom. Here he is just recently, March 2nd, 2026. You can see the timestamp on the tweet at California governor, CA governor. Join me for an announcement on homelessness and mental health across California.

1:19:37Newsom 2028. Folks, he's going to solve homelessness. Again. What do you mean, Dan, again? Hat tip. What is this guy, Kevin Dalton, on this video? This is the greatest thing you're going to see on the show today. Scrap the tellery. This is Dan's favorite video. I'm sorry. We're super sad. I didn't know if I was going to get to this. This is my favorite video. This is on this guy, Kevin Dalton on X. I saw this. Here is Gavin Newsom, soon to be presidential candidate, who's going to run on his record in California. That's a laugh line. You can laugh. There's someone in the studio to laugh. You can laugh at home.

1:20:17He has been solving homelessness. This big problem solver who wants to solve all our problems as president of the United States. Here he is solving homelessness for like a decade plus. This is great for all the wrong reasons.

1:20:29Dan Bongino:Check this out. A 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness in San Francisco. How are you going to solve homelessness? What are you going to do as a new mayor? And I said, well, what are you going to do? Focus on a housing first model, direct access to housing, shelter, solve sleep, housing with wraparound and support services, solve homelessness. Homelessness absolutely can be solved. Laid out a detailed homeless strategy. There's been no intentionality on homelessness in this state for decades. It's not been a focus. I don't think we can solve homelessness. I know we can solve homelessness. We will reduce street homelessness quickly and humanely through emergency action.

1:21:03Dan Bongino:The highest investment the state's ever made is$1 billion on homelessness. We are poised to pass a budget in the next few hours that will provide$12 billion of investment. I can literally quantify 58 ,000 people that we got off the streets last year. And none of you would believe it. This state has not made progress in the last two decades as it relates to homelessness. Why? We're not interested in funding failure. We're not interested in failing more efficiently when it comes to the issue of homelessness and the crisis on the street. Lindy, Lindy, 2020, 201 in the chat. OMG, LOL. That's the best summary of that I've ever seen.

1:21:43Hat tip the Kevin Dalton on X for that magnificent video. The dude's been solving, air quotes, homelessness for like 150 years. Hair gel can't figure it out. You know, it's interesting in the free state of Florida where we practice free market economic principles. We have homeless people. There's nothing like a homeless problem like they have in California where they've been solving the problem for seriously like three decades now.

1:22:14Folks This is your guy Democrats You got Tallarico In Texas This is your guy Six sexes Tallarico Well obviously there's six sexes How do you know that? I don't know shit Gavin Newsom We are solving homelessness now You've been solving homelessness since 2008 What happened the last time? I failed The prior hundred times?

1:22:45Folks, when I talk about this show, right, I always say, have to boogie down production. Some of you get the joke. Edutainment. This show is meant to be educational entertainment. But the education part is important. I learn a lot every day. You guys and ladies have really busy lives. It's always an honor to serve you, whether in the last job or this job. I'm just here to get ideas and points across. You know, I didn't do that video. Kevin Dalton did. It's a great video. But I'm happy to be a vehicle for you to go discover some more of his content. I don't know. I've never met the guy. I love doing this show because I learn something new every day.

1:23:20And I got to tell you, I change a lot of my priors on things and ideas about things based on inputs that change my mind. You know, trade is one of them I bring up all the time. I was a big, free, fair trader. I was like almost like a mercenary on trade. We're going to be a free, fair trade and tariffs are terrible all the time. And then you start to see the impact in the real world Of China segregating rare earth minerals You see us not being able to produce antibiotics Even basic levels of steel I'm not telling you we need a wall around it or industrial policy But I like to learn new things The reason I bring that up, sorry for the long winded into this article But I promise Guy I get to it The Democrats are not interested in learning anything ever I just don't want you to be under the illusion that you're ever going to coax the socialist into a free market system.

1:24:17I'm not telling you we shouldn't argue with them because you're never arguing with the Democrat. You're arguing with the third third party listening. I say this all the time. The socialist Democrat just they want your money. They want your life. They want your freedom, period. But there's always a third party impressionable person who's listening. So we do have to make the case. Debate is worth it. I bring this up because I saw this Wall Street Journal article about socialism How when you ask Democrats right now Democrats, obviously not Republicans They love socialism, they think it's great It says, Harvard poll, Democrat supermajority reject socialist policies You just said the opposite, no, no, it's a Freeman article He talks about in the beginning of the article If you ask him, you guys like socialism You get majorities of people, yeah, we love it But then when you ask him a different question a different way Do you think America should be run mostly as a free enterprise country or under socialism, freedom wins by 76 to 24 percent.

1:25:09Even Democrats vote by a 68 to 32 percent margin. The ignoramuses in their party, they just run on the headlines. Socialism, free stuff for everyone. They're going to be really hard to coax out of their ideological slumber. However, there are third parties listening that if we do the exercise and go through the debating, we can coax them onto our side. Folks, I want to end with this today, and then we're going to raid Stephen Crowder's excellent show. You know Steve Crowder? Steve's a good friend of mine. He's on Rumble here as well. I love my daily Bongino class, RM345 in the chat. We love you too, RM345.

1:25:49I go to class every day. What do I do after the show, guys? Right back in the office, tomorrow's show gets ready. I love doing it. I learn something new every day. Within minutes. They're not kidding. I already sent stuff for tomorrow. Did I not? Here's another update for the Bill Crystals And the other doomers out there again That always tell you nothing is happening And then when things happen You never get an apology or a walk back or anything Remember Minnesota Don Lemon and his crew of Losers invading the church And a bunch of people Immediately attacking the administration Oh it's gonna happen Here's some of the video if you're watching on the screen Nothing's ever gonna happen ever Nothing ever happened Nothing's happening Okay I'm glad in your little world And your couch with your pop tarts Nothing's happening Maybe you missed the news But all 39 now Of the anti-ice writers Nick Sorter tweet Who raided a church in Minnesota Have now been tracked down And arrested Hat tip Harmeet Dillon Who is a top level official And a great woman in the Department of Justice and a good friend.

1:27:01Is everything happening all the time, every day? No. Are things happening because the wheels of justice are very slow? I read an article this morning about the Autopen investigation. It's being run through D.C. Janine Pirro is dealing with basically jury nullification over there. The grand juries don't want to charge anyone for anything. That's not an excuse. That's a fact. you had that guy on camera throw a freaking sandwich at the cop and they were like nah it didn't happen there's a lot it's going to take a long time i told you to clean this system up the just the wheels of justice go really really slow i wish they went faster but stuff is happening and a lot of stuff and you're seeing it now don't buy into the doomer bullshit i'm telling you Them and the liberal media want the same thing.

1:27:56Mutiny. Everybody hates each other. But it's all bullshit. Republican Party needs to be unified. We need to defeat six sexes Tallarico and others. Ossoff and these other clowns too.
