The Hidden Knowledge Grift (Ep. 2482)

27:28Did I hear that correctly? You did. Hat tip, I, and on, Patriot via X on that.

27:35These are some of the same people spreading the exact same message to the hidden knowledge grifter class. If they sound the same, a lot of it, that's because it is the anti-military talk. Now, the hidden knowledge grifters may not be talking about cheering soldiers coming home in a casket. But you see some of them like, don't sign up for the military. Trump, Hags said, just the anti-military narrative. It's the exact same narrative. Look at this just creeped out from the Ayatollah, who is dead. like, gone, like didn't obey the Dan Bongino show rule number one, don't get dead, we got him dead real quick.

28:20There was a tweet that went out this morning. Did you see this thing? The hashtag is, who's controlling this thing at this point? I don't even know. But the tweet that went out obviously attacks us. And then there's a hashtag, Epstein files at the end. There it is right there from the Khomeini Jr. account. talking about the U.S. decline. Does it all make sense now? Folks, they want the United States to lose this war. That whole class, that symbiote, the Doomer Libs symbiote, they want the United States to lose this war. I'm telling you, they say it openly. Some of them play cute with the words and the euphemisms game, but they want us to lose this war.

29:04I got Graham Allen coming up in a little bit as a guest. The Graham Allen Show on Rumble. I know you love him. You always raise my show. We appreciate that. I'm going to talk to him about this too. This is not anymore a question of military superiority. We have defeated and destroyed the Iranian mullahs. They don't exist. They don't exist. The battle damage assessments are totally asymmetric. The battle damage is beyond significant on the Iranian side. What I'm getting at here is we already know that. The problem going forward is we are fighting a messaging machine that wants the death to America Mueller class thugocracy, wants them to win.

29:43This is a narrative war now. The tactical component, we've already shown our superiority. Here was Pete Hegseth yesterday in the Oval Office during the, excuse me, in the cabinet room. They had a cabinet meeting yesterday next to Donald Trump talking about exactly this problem. Folks, this is a very real problem. It's a very real problem for the administration too, because they're putting a squeeze on them based on a story, not the story. I have no problem with you disagreeing with the war at all, that you're right to do it, that you're right to report on it in the press, but at least be candid about where we stand so Americans can make an informed output from correct inputs.

30:25Check this out. The thing about the media, though, if President Trump had not acted, you'd be screaming, why not? And now that he has taken decisive action, you're asking, well, why did you? It's the same old tired playbook, TDS in your DNA. But the hardworking, God-fearing, patriotic Americans out there know better. And you alluded to this, President Obama, Mr. President. Here's a fact that you don't hear on your networks, but we know. Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that we're systematically destroying were paid for by the pallets of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran.

31:04Notice you're not seeing a lot of that story About the Obamacast that went into the Iranian bank accounts Why aren't you hearing anything about that? Because this is not an effort to tell you The story of what's going on in Iran It's an effort to tell you a story So we lose We lose the narrative war Not the tactical war Why do you need them to lose the narrative war Them being the Trump administration Because you've got a midterm election coming up You can't give Trump a victory Even over death to America People know that death to America people have to win. Their message keeps flip-flopping. The left started the hidden knowledge grift.

31:39Most of you remember it as the Russia collusion hoax. I've got this hidden knowledge that Donald Trump is colluding with the Russians. Well, what is it? It's a dossier, but I can't show you it's classified. Well, then we see it and there was nothing really in there. And then all of a sudden they're like, no, no, no, there's other like collusion. It was like a hack or something. It's a data point. It's a data point. But they never actually produced the data point. Matter of fact, when you ask him about the infamous hack, the people like, well, we can't really prove there was an exfiltration. What can you prove?

32:09Anything? That was the original hidden knowledge scam. They're doing the same thing with the Iranians now. They're playing hide the knowledge nugget where they pretend to know one thing when they're in office. And then when they get out of office, they take the exact opposite position. I just showed you with kank from the young turds before hat tip maize moore here's a compilation we did some jump cuts in it just to shorten it up a little bit thank you maize for the material here is a compilation of democrats jen saki and others telling you what a threat the iranian nuclear program was now telling you wasn't enough of a threat to actually do anything about it check this out nuclear program is galloping forward uh it is enriching uh at a higher levels uh if they continue to enrich at the levels and the ways they're doing, it will get down eventually to a few weeks.

32:58So that is a concrete problem. We have an interest in putting that nuclear problem back in the box. Iran has rapidly accelerated its nuclear program. Their breakout period is down from about a year, which is what we knew it was during the deal, to just a few weeks or less. Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, has directly or by hiring criminals mounted assassination attempts against dissonance and high-ranking current and former U.S. officials, including right here on American soil. The president will not tolerate attacks on American troops. Our teammates were killed by radical militias backed by Iran.

33:39Yes, it is true. Iran is closer to a nuclear weapon than ever before. If they chose to get a nuclear weapon, could probably get one within weeks. Listen, when I opened up the show today, I told you with regards to the DHS funding for TSA that magically appeared last night as the Democrats had their, look at this, we have this come to Jesus moment, road to Damascus, what a conversion. I'm not telling you Republicans don't do this too, I'm telling you it's about on a scale, this is all the Democrats do is bullshit you and tell you a story. They told you a different story when they had a political interest and they thought they could look tough going against the death to Iranian mullahs.

34:20When Donald, death to America mullahs, I'm sorry, excuse me. When Donald Trump gets into office and kills them and obliterates the entire upper level hierarchy of the IRGC and elsewhere, the Democrats take the opposite position. You see the chaos? You see how they never ever want you to believe in anything Because then these charismatic figures can come out And pull you out of the messaging chaos and the fog And go, Luke, I've got the knowledge Just stay tuned, I'll tell you tomorrow

34:54And I think one more thing the MAGA crowd has grown really tired of Is international allies who are just fair weather friends Listen, my last job and the job before that I had pretty good relationships with foreign partners, but I'm going to tell you something you may not have heard. I'm going to tell you for a fact. When it comes to law enforcement, counterterror, counterespionage, I can't speak so much for the military, but a semi-informed opinion on that as well. About 80 % of the lifting in the work is done by the United States. About 20 % is reciprocal when you look at it in total. The fact that our allies, now that we've taken on the world's largest sponsor of terrorism, that has been holding basically the petrochemical business hostage through the strait for decades now, now that we've done the hard work, we're asking our allies to come in and give us a little help here because this helps them too in this fractured oil market.

35:50And all of a sudden, a lot of them are just shitting the bed on us. Here's Rubio who's been doing an amazing job One of his 20 jobs as Secretary of State Besides a plane going hey Europe Are you guys going to chip in here or what Like are you leaving the dirty work for us again this time too Check this out I think President Trump criticizing NATO this morning That sentiment I think he just made an observation And the observation is that The United States is constantly being asked to help in a war And we have more than any other country in the world In the world On a war that's happening in another continent In Ukraine but uh but when the u.s had a need he didn't get proper positive responses so right now he's just making the observation that you know i think there was a couple of the leaders in europe who said that this was not europe's war well ukraine is not america's war and yet we've contributed more to that fight than any other country in the world so it'll be something to examine uh the president will have to take into account down the road why you know listen why do we always have to come to the rescue.

36:50You know, no one's going to sit here and bullshit me. Like I ran for office publicly against a lot of some of the Bush era military actions. I just I wasn't sure we had a good exit plan. I'm not telling you like I was trying to be general patent about it or anything like that. I understand the limits of my own knowledge. But that's not this. That's not this. The Trump team has laid out a clear set of directives that either have been met or very close to being met. And then he's already stated, or I should say administration officials are now talking about this final blow. They clearly have some exit strategy for this.

37:32Can we just give it a couple weeks and see how it works out before we judge the ending of the book we haven't read yet? Here's Steve Whitcoff, one of Trump's lead negotiators on this issue. By the way, for those people, again, claiming the Iranians were not an imminent threat, there was some fatwa against a nuclear program. He told Witkoff, these Iranian negotiators told Witkoff to go pound sand, that they were going to basically build their nuclear weapons. Is this guy a gatekeeper too? You think he's lying to President Trump? Like everybody's lying to President Trump, but you have the hidden knowledge you'll never tell us.

38:07Here, check this out. The Iranians have the inalienable right to enrich. Then we heard they possessed enough 60 % enriched material, 460 kilograms, to make 11 atomic bombs. Finally, we heard the following statement. They would not give up diplomatically what we could not win militarily. In other words, they were again miscalculating the success of Midnight Hammer, which was a total success. These are incontrovertible signs, among many other signs, sir, that their regime had not given their negotiating team authority to make a deal required by you. Is he lying, too? He's telling you what they told him.

39:01He has no reason to smoke you up about it at this point. Is this another gatekeeper?

39:11folks, the chaos isn't working. We won the last election. Just give them a couple of more weeks. Let's figure out where this is going to go. Let's see the exit plan and strategy they're working on, and we can move on from there. Because we're dealing with this other side of the fence that is not kidding around. That is where I agree with a lot of these people, that at the end of this four years, Hopefully it turns into 8 and 12. We can get, you know, JD or Rubio or someone in there. Hopefully we'll be able to right this ship and make it generational, but it's not going to happen overnight. But we are dealing with another side here that they're not kidding around.

39:56When they tell you who they are, just listen to them. And the reason they're so afraid, by the way, of Donald Trump is because Donald Trump lives in the real world and they live in the world of ideas. and they haven't found a way to crack that since basically Bill Clinton playing the saxophone on the Arsenio Hall show. They haven't had that. Their candidates look out of touch. Donald Trump has this magic gift of saying things that are common sense to everyone listening that other politicians haven't thought to say before because they didn't have the balls. And he has this way of getting the left to overreact to every single thing he does.

40:33Cue up that Trump-Somali fraud thing. So we've got a serious problem with broken third world countries and many, but not all. You have migrants that come here legally and illegally who come here and there's a huge fraud problem. Everybody knows it's happening. And Donald Trump's take on this is how a lot of Americans feel. Maybe they don't agree with every single word and the language and the expression, but they're like, if you're going to come here, you should contribute. And of course, the left overreacts to this. And this is the tactical advantage he has of dealing in the real world, knowing how real world people speak.

41:10Check this out. It's very Somalia oriented. Think of it. These people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world. Acknowledged to be one of the worst countries in the world. Some people say it's the worst. They have no money. They have nothing. They come to our country, low IQs, and they rob us blind. Stupid people. And they rob us blind. Because we have crooked politicians. And we have dirty cops. The Attorney General is a dirty cop. It's my opinion. It's only my opinion. And something should be done about him. Folks, they are going to... Whose favorite video is that?

41:53I missed the stamp. Oh, that was Giz? there were people there were people out there watching this the democrats and the intelligentsia and the media class oh my god he's a racist one you know that's bullshit okay that's just nonsense there's no history of that at all you're just making that up so throw that in the garbage because it's just dumb liberal bullshit however i think what you don't understand you think donald trump doesn't understand what you don't understand is there are millions of people out there who are active voters who were nodding their heads in approval saying, you know what?

42:26You're damn right. Nothing to do with the race of the people or their country of origin. Just don't come here from a place and steal from us and expect us to ignore the fact that a lot of people came from the same place. That's how networks sometimes work.

42:47Yes, there's a bit of a proximity bias in some of that stuff. this is but this is why yesterday we played that video sorry to refer to yesterday's show if you missed it however noted leftist Jon Stewart the uh you know the late night host Jon Stewart had a segment with Bernie Sanders and we played it on yesterday's show and Jon Stewart who's again a pretty devoted leftist was openly questioning the middleman government and how basically they can't solve any problems. And I thought that was strange, but now it's starting to make sense, folks. The left, as I said to you yesterday, and I'll repeat again, wants to move in a UBI direction, universal basic income, where basically the government's just a middleman.

43:29They don't manage programs anymore. The left just wants you to basically get a salary from other taxpayers to do nothing. Their excuse is AI. AI is going to put everybody out of work. So everyone's going to have to get, I don't know,$50 ,000 a year if you're below a certain income level. This is why they're making this argument now. Now, I want to tie this together for you. The Somali fraud case, where there have been numerous arrests, federal, been some state, the locals may be getting involved now. The exposing of that by that young man, Nick Shirley, and others like Cam Higby, you saw out in Los Angeles.

44:07It was on Skid Row where they were registering people for money. This kind of citizen journalism, you're going to get 90 % will be hit. Sometimes they're going to flake out. 10 % maybe misses. But citizen journalism is going to be exposing generational fraud basically on a daily basis moving forward. And the left knows it. They know there's only so many fraudulent autism therapy centers and childcare centers they can set up before people knock on the door and ask for their kid to be treated with a hidden camera. They know that. So you're seeing, this is very important in this segment, stop what you're doing.

44:43You're going to see this messaging going forward now, where big government leftists may start messaging about government inefficiency, not because they don't want to steal your money, they just want to steal it and give it directly to other people instead. Because they know the government running it is going to result in endless citizen journalists knocking on doors going, hey, how many kids you got in this child care? That Nick Shirley moment really, in my humble opinion, is going to change journalism going forward. A lot of citizen journalists have been doing this forever. There's a ton of people.

45:17We've had them on our show. That one, I think, really shook people, I mean, deep in the soul because it was so fairly obvious that Minnesota, there was almost no effort whatsoever to stop it. Now, does the Jon Stewart thing make sense now? In case you doubt me, the importance of this Nick Shirley moment, I'm going to throw in a President Trump clip right here. When it makes it into the White House and a cabinet briefing, like it's kind of a big deal. Here's President Trump on Nick Shirley and more. Check this out. I just saw something that the nursing home business and the daycare centers in particular, they went out and inspected them in Minnesota and they didn't exist.

46:03They're knocking on doors. He happens to be a young man, Nick. Nice young man. He's done a very good job. They're knocking on doors. It's like homes. And they're getting hundreds of thousands of that. They didn't exist. And in California, it's worse. It's even worse. and I spoke with Russell I said Russell don't send him any money he said but we have a court order that we have can you believe it? a judge the judges are really hurting this country our judges Justice Roberts doesn't like when I say it but the judges are really hurting this country and frankly the justices the Supreme Court has really hurt our country too I want to leave the end part in too because it ties in the beginning of the show about how we're different, the Republic, because we've instituted processes.

46:56Processes require a lot of nominations of judges, United States attorneys. This all takes time. However, we've chosen this route to avoid chaos. But when you see people like Nick Shirley, who gets mentioned in a cabinet briefing, you know how big of a deal that is? Whether you like or dislike his journalism, I told you there's going to be some misses. there's going to be some hits. Even billion-dollar media companies once in a while get a story wrong. This is going to dismantle the myth that collectivism and big government benevolence are effective ideas in the world bucket of reality. They exist in the world of ideas.

47:36In reality, they completely fall apart. The government will never manage your money as well as you do, ever. You're going to see this moving forward. Folks, I live in this great state of Florida. I love it down here. I'll talk about this with Graham Allen a little bit. Liberals, please don't come down here. Really, we've had enough. Conservatives, welcome. Join us. Join the treehouse. But I'm not telling you Florida's above this too. We got a great governor. DeSantis is not a knock. They're doing a great job. We've got a great AG. We've got great candidates for governor. Byron Donalds. I love Byron.

48:16Florida's a great state. DeSantis done an amazing job. However, this fraud, healthcare fraud, taxpayer fraud schemes on the Medicare front, Medicaid front, DMEs, that's durable medical equipment, is rampant in Florida. Here's Dr. Oz down here in Florida proving the point that folks, even in limited government states, whenever you introduce government into anything, you are always going to get error, fraud, scams, People will care for their own money, always as a better custodian than the government will. Check this out. Let me be blunt. What we're seeing in parts of South Florida isn't just suspicious, it's outrageous.

48:56The number of questionable durable medical equipment suppliers, folks that send you canes or wheelchairs, is exploded, especially here in Palm Beach and adjacent Miami-Dade County. In some neighborhoods, now listen carefully, there are twice as many, twice as many suppliers as McDonald's. That's not a coincidence. That's the red flag. As it turns out, transnational criminal organizations are involved. So we acted. CMS put a nationwide freeze, it's called a moratorium, on enrolling new DME suppliers in Medicare. That's the insurer for older Americans. We're cutting off the pipeline. And Florida is not hesitating either.

49:34This week, the state stepped up with a plan to go on the offense, requesting its own moratorium for Medicaid. That's the program that safeguards our most vulnerable. They want to slow down durable medical equipment suppliers too. That's how you respond when the system is being gamed. Folks, this is the third-party payer problem. The third-party payer is simple. You have you. You are a taxpayer, a citizen, right? Then you have a business you want to pay. Let's say you need a hip surgery. You're going to pay an orthopedic. If you pay the orthopedic directly, you care about the cost of the procedure because you're paying.

50:08You also care about the quality of said procedure because it's your freaking hip. the Milton Friedman issue with the four ways to spend money. The minute you introduce a third party who pays, i.e. the third party payers, sorry, but there are liberals here who are very slow, the government, and I don't pay the orthopedic surgeon, I pay taxes and the government pays, the government doesn't care about the quality of the procedure because it's not the government's hip, it's yours. And the government doesn't really care about the cost either as long as you vote for them because it's not their money either.

50:44They took it from you. Do you have that? For those who are new to the Dan Bongino show since our relaunch, you know, we were gone for a year, obviously. This is probably the greatest explanation. I did not intend to throw this in the show, but Justin was like, hey man, now's the time. This is Milton Friedman in about a minute and a half explaining to you why the government anywhere, getting involved in anything from Florida to San Francisco will always screw it up. Check this out. Bookmark it. Well, you know, you can spend your own money on yourself. And when you spend your own money on yourself, you're very careful of what you spend it on and you make sure that you get the most for your daughter.

51:33You can spend your own money on somebody else. You give gifts to other people. You take people out to dinner. When you spend your own money on somebody else, you're very careful that you don't spend too much. You try to keep down the amount you spend, but you don't worry very much about what the other fellow is getting from it. You don't pay anything like as much attention to the gifts you buy for other people as to the things you buy for yourself. Or you can spend somebody else's money as when you're spending the government's money. I say the government's money, the taxpayer's money, which the government has control of.

52:09Now you're spending somebody else's money. Let's say you're spending your boss's money. You're out to lunch on a expense account, but you're spending it on yourself. You're very careful that you get good, good, good things for your money. You try to have a good lunch and pick the right things, but you're not very much worried about whether you get the cheapest. Spend all you want. Spend all you want. You'll be careless. Now, what happens when you spend somebody else's money on somebody else? you're a distributor of welfare funds. Well, you're interested in making your own life as good as you can.

52:49And most people have humane instincts and want to do the best they can. But you're not going to be anything like as careful in spending somebody else's money on somebody else. That is the best two minutes of your life. That is an entire PhD economics course in two minutes. And it's not my words. It's the great Milton Friedman. That's always going to be the problem with government And you're going to see going forward with these citizen journalists You are going to see exposure Devastating exposure on a mass scale Of every single grift out there We just opened the show talking about the hidden knowledge grift This is just straight up financial grift off the taxpayers Folks, I promise you I promise you there are not enough federal investigators between Secret Service, DEA, IRS, FBI.

53:41There are not enough to crack down the likely hundreds of billions, if not trillions over decades in fraud. There's just not enough. We have got to intercept it at the head. There's no other way. What I'm telling you to kind of put a cherry on top of this is we have a really unique moment here. The Democrats are going to get exposed over the next five to 10 years for their, and we need Republicans for their NGO funding, their childcare center funding, everything. The fraud is gonna be so massive, it's gonna be a difficult, difficult time for the Democrats going forward on the messaging front. Because there's a financial motive too for citizen journalists to go out there.

54:30That's their job. That's what they do, to fine this fraud. that's what they do if they expose fraud. It's not going to stop. We have a unique opportunity coming up to pile on that message and make sure that it resonates with them. Just don't let them transition to a UBI. They want to make the case government sucks and it's all on video? Okay, sure. We'll magnify it too. We can play this game too.

54:58All right, I got Graham Allen coming up. You're going to love Graham. It's fantastic. Graham Allen's show on Rumble. Check him out. He always raids our show right after his show. I think he starts at 9 a.m. Eastern time. But we'll talk about a lot of things. I wanted to give you a little bit of Friday good feels as well before I wrap up my portion of the show by myself. So as always, our good friend, producer Jim, likes everyone to enter into the weekend in a peaceful, zen-like moment. So he selects the finest, most relaxing audio he can find out there from our friends on the left. So for those of you looking forward to your Friday Democrat Zen moment, courtesy of producer Jim, here it is.

55:38Your Democrat Zen moment of the day. A peaceful moment to center your mind. Look, you fat fuck Trump. If you listen to this, you listen good. You're right. I got Trump derangement syndrome. I hate the motherfucker. And you know what? I don't want to get rid of it. I don't want to get better. I want to get worse. I want to hate him more. I pray to God in heaven, God reign, the righteous reign of Trump derangement syndrome. This has been Democrat Zen.

56:15He doesn't tell me what they are. I'm as surprised as you are about this stuff. He doesn't tell me what they are. I'm sure your blood pressure has dropped a few points now. Again, it's like beta blockers there. but oh no listen i i hate the i hate when people say on a serious note because it makes it seem like we were unserious even when we're serious being unserious but on a serious note you know you like that the mutley's mutley's in the chat there carville man i think he like later went on and kind of regretted that a little bit i'm not really sure who knows you call him raging for a raging cajun for a reason but i was uh sitting there this morning and going through some stuff I had, you know, I get up pretty early, so it's still dark out.

56:58And I got this light, really bright light can get you going and more. I'm scrolling through. And I really like motivational people who can speak. The ability to be, you know, a vehicle through your words for a greater cause is really amazing. So what's the church this guy's from? Is it Pastor Phil?

57:222819 church i don't know them at all i i can't vouch or not vouch for them i all i know is this popped up i listen to a lot of christian contemporary music on instagram jasmine got me into it so i get a lot of uh of preachers and things like that but i saw this this morning and this is absolutely true here's kind of a nugget of wisdom here check this out sometimes god will engineer transitions in your life, albeit painful, sometimes to push you down roads you otherwise were not chosen for yourself. And because he's the author and finisher of your story, sometimes he knows you will not move and so you need a push.

58:01And so sometimes he might close the door to give you that push. Sometimes you might go through rejection to get that push. Sometimes sometimes to crumble around your life to get that push. Sometimes he'll take something out of your life to give you that push. Sometimes the Lord is watching you, knowing that you need to take this next step of faith.

58:24Man, I saw it this morning. I'm like, hey, man, you just nailed it. You know, sometimes just harking back to the beginning of the show, we go through these things and we're like, gosh, I wish we didn't have to fight this fight. Now, I wish to, you know, I wish too, but an easy life is not going to be a fulfilling one. I'm not your preacher. I couldn't do it nearly as well as that gentleman. And I certainly don't pretend to be some kind of moral staple you all should be guiding yourself off. I'm just a guy like everyone else. But I can tell you, everything I've learned in my life, I've learned from falling on my face and getting the hell up.

59:06This idea that God puts obstacles there for a reason falls right in with, you know, the burnt toast theory. You know, the toast gets burned, fire alarm goes off, you're late for your flight, you miss your flight. You're like, I can't believe this, I'm going to miss this job opportunity I was flying through, and then the plane crashes. You know, we don't have the capability. It's like trying to teach a dog physics, as I say all the time. We can't possibly understand, like a dog can't understand chemistry or physics, we can't understand why God does what he does and why these obstacles appear. But just think of burnt toast.

59:40There may be a reason, a reason you just don't understand, but you'll see when you get to the end of the book. That was some great stuff right there. All right, quick break, and then we'll get to my good friend, Graham Allen. He's a great guy. Support him and his show.

1:01:34Happy to welcome back to the show my good friend and just amazing host in his own right, my good friend Graham Allen. You can check him out every day on Rumble. He's got the Graham Allen show, so check that out. Graham, welcome back to the show. Let's get right to it. So, you know, our best friends, and I say that dripping with sarcasm, the Democrats got absolutely smoked and torched and wrecked again last night on the DHS funding, said they were holding out because they wanted open borders, basically. Got absolutely no reforms. President Trump comes in, saves the day, says we're paying them. This is an emergency.

1:02:05The Democrats didn't fall because they gave a shit about you standing in line. They folded because they knew they were going to suffer a political loss. And that's all that matters. Yeah. I mean, here's the deal. I tell people this all the time. Everybody's like, oh, Graham, you get so emotional. Why don't you just deliver the facts as it is? Okay, well, here's the facts. Democrats hate you. They don't care about you. They don't care about your family. They don't care about your lives. You are pawns in the chess 4D devil match that they're playing in DC every single day. The president showed the cards of the Democrats by saying, you know what?

1:02:44Screw this. I'm over it. I'm signing this executive order. We're going to pay these guys. no more of this nonsense. And then magically, magically, all of a sudden, somehow we're able to figure out how to get it passed a bill to fund DHS. Ironically, around the same time that now Secretary Mullen is in there as well. This is Trump winning over and over and over again. And pay attention, folks. Pay attention because Donald Trump's not going to be here for forever. One day you will realize what we had. And right now there's a lot of people taking it granted. There's a lot of people taking advantage.

1:03:26There's a lot of people taking shots at the president, but they don't give enough credit for the 8D chess match king that he is. Donald Trump knew this is either going to work in the reward of me, again, solving the problem, or it's going to force the Democrats to do what they were supposed to do for the American people in the first place. I think he killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he save the day and force the Democrats to actually fund DHS, he proved that it had nothing to do about any righteousness or anything for the betterment of the people. It proved it was nothing more than to use the American people to try and hurt Donald Trump.

1:04:06You know, Graham, I was going to ask you this question. It was like my third or fourth question, but I think it fits in perfectly now. You kind of teed it up for me. I painted this picture yesterday the contrast between the modern democrat movement and what's what we call now the MAGA movement this faction of the republican party now the MAGA movement is a relatively new phenomenon the working class dirt under the fingernails republican those were traditionally not all of course but traditionally democrat votes when you think of the union vote and things like that Donald Trump came in ironically a New York billionaire very successful guy and basically steals that vote away from the Democrat.

1:04:43But it's because Donald Trump is a builder in New York. I brought this up yesterday. Although, yes, he has quite a few more dollars than you and I combined, like a lot more. However, just a little bit, Donald Trump has had to deal with unions, New York City corrupt bureaucrats, various mayors in New York, the mob in New York. I mean, building in New York is a nightmare. If he did not understand that real world of union worksmanship and craftsmanship and how these people worked and their motivations, he would have been lost. And that's the skill I think he took to the White House and why he keeps proving, as you just said, the experts wrong.

1:05:26Yeah, well, you know, Donald Trump somehow being the billionaire that he is, is a man's man. Like he understands the everyday normal American. And somewhere along the way, if you go back to the founding documents that we have of what is required for people to run for office, what is required for people to be a president, vice president, congressman or woman, a senator, governor, all of this. It's actually not that many things. We, the American people and or the bureaucrats and the lifelong swamp creatures in D.C., have created this mythical illusion of what you have to be, what you have to look like, the degrees you have to have, the connections you have to have.

1:06:13Oh, you had to serve in the statehouse or the state Senate and then get corrupted by the state GOPs before you can come up here because we want to make sure you're part of the team before we allow you to take this next step. When in reality, we need people like electricians. We need people like plumbers. We need people like that work 12-hour swing shifts that actually know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck to where they don't play these political nightmare games at the expense of the American people that you just saw the Democrats did with DHS and TSA. we have to shatter this illusion that we have created amongst ourselves, that we, the everyday American people have allowed the powers that be in DC to put out before us.

1:07:01And we have to shatter that glass ceiling. No one understands that more than ironically, the built multi-billionaire from New York, which is president Trump. You know, us as a movement, you and I have been fighting this, this relentless battle against the hidden knowledge class. You know, we have to be a movement bedrocked in process and objective truth. That's what the Republic, that's what made us different. This is not the Star Chamber. This is not the Salem Witch Trials. Big, fantastic claims require big, fantastic evidence or else you have Tower of Babel chaos and nothing means anything anymore.

1:07:33I'm really worried about that. so am i dan i me and you have had conversations offline about this that they're what you're seeing is you're seeing uh us the podcast class i call it now the fake podcasting news network that we have going on uh you're seeing that a lot of them were actually leftist in maga clothing and real American clothing for a long time. But now you're seeing the same tactics that the left has used for decades. You're seeing that now on the other side. People just want to ask questions. And this is the thing that I keep going back to. I've got no problems with people asking questions.

1:08:18Ask as many questions as you want. But if you are only asking questions for the purpose of causing more questions without asking questions for the purpose of finding answers to those questions, because answers equal solutions that equal missions that you can go out and achieve of objective, then all you're doing is causing division, chaos, potentially violence. And this seems to be the most clickable thing, which the most clickable thing becomes the most viewable thing. And the most viewable thing becomes the most financially beneficial thing. So now we have people that are no longer interested in fighting for truth and facts.

1:08:58We have people that are interested in fighting for eyeballs. What used to be the case, Dan, you know this, you've been around, you are the leader of this. If you tell the truth and you have the steady hand when the fog of war, of the political war or information war, when the fog of war is thick, if you have the steady hand and you stand for truth, Eventually the people will come. Now you're seeing people say, you know what brings the most people right now? Confusion, what ifs, maybe ors. And that seems to be what we're fighting against. And there's a lot of people, I've seen it at Seampack, I've seen all these other people talk.

1:09:39There are people on our side that disagree with me and you, Dan. They disagree that we should completely starve the grift of these people and just completely ignore it. I don't believe that. I think that they are the fake news now. And just like the past 10 years, we've been fighting against the fake news and fighting for knocking on doors to the 10, 10, 10. That's the same thing we have to do now. We have to fight a multifaceted war on the information space because the American people are paying attention to this stuff. And if the American people are paying attention to it, that means they're going to vote a certain way and it's going to be influenced by these people.

1:10:16And we have to fight it. Yeah, we do. And I don't really care for that opinion there that, oh, we should just let this insane, self-destructive cancer in our party run free and destroy the whole host in the hopes that maybe we preserve one midterm election, but destroy the party permanently in the mid and long term horizon is just insanity. And nobody tells me what to talk about ever on my show. So I don't give a damn what anyone says there, really, at all. I think we've proven that over 10 years. And you're right, though. You will always find a steady audience army out there. It's going to be behind you no matter what, as long as they don't feel like you're bullshitting them.

1:10:57There's a sugar high in that, no doubt. And I played some of it in the beginning of the show, the hidden knowledge grift. Tomorrow show, tune in. Eventually, you know, it's like Apollo Queen says to Rocky, there is no tomorrow. Eventually, you got to produce some data. And I think you and I, you haven't been in the military. Me, haven't been in law enforcement. We didn't live in that world of secret hidden knowledge because you had to go to a courtroom and swear under the penalty of perjury that what you were stating was your best attempt at the truth. You didn't get to go. Hey, judge, I'll tell you tomorrow.

1:11:29There is no tomorrow. There is to show back up tomorrow. Camera crews. I'll tell you what really happened. Yeah, no. Right. Imagine you like being sent out with a unit on some, you know, if you were in the Marines, like with some five paragraph order, you had to go out there and accomplish this mission. And you come back on paragraph three and be like, yeah, we'll get to the rest tomorrow. Like, it just doesn't work that way, you know? They have that luxury. We don't. So I saw an article this morning on an aggregator site about migrating Democrats. In other words, a bunch of disgruntled Democrats, Graham, leaving liberal states where the liberal state governance model always fails.

1:12:09And coming down to states like Florida, where you are in South Carolina, I am in Florida. I don't know how to say this. I'm a believer in freedom. Do your thing. I can't stop you, nor would I want to put an obstacle in front of you. I'm just saying, like, don't come down to your liberals. We don't want you in Florida. You don't want them in South Carolina. You already screwed up your own state. Well, I don't know. I mean, and again, maybe this will get a bit controversial here. I'm the same way. It's just like if you move to another state, in most states you have to have lived in that state for a certain amount of time before you can run for office.

1:12:46Maybe we should put like the same stipulations on if you should be able to vote immediately for that state. A 10-year prohibition. Yeah, yeah. No, I don't want to take away anybody's right to vote. you can do an absentee ballot for the state media matters. He's kidding. You, you freaking canoes. However, it is still funny. It is still funny though. The idea, I'll bet there are a lot of people at home going and doing this laugh. And all of a sudden they're like, man, there's a lot of bad, like maybe you have to digest the system for 10 years, learn to respect how successful conservative governance is in South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida.

1:13:26and then we'll give you another shot. Figure out why this is working and then you can vote to like keep it that way. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, don't bring your New York voting standards because the only reason you're leaving is because you've either A, continued to vote for it or B, you were complicit in it or C, you were outnumbered and those are the ones that we actually want to come here. The ones that were been outnumbered and they're actually red and they're conservative and they love the Lord, all that. Sure, I welcome them with open arms. But unfortunately, those are the ones, they don't have the money to just pick up and move.

1:14:00So the people that can just pick up and move are the ones that we don't want here in the first place. You know, it's interesting. I tell people this a lot. They say, you know, Dan, you talk about Florida and such glowing terms. And people say, stop doing it. I'm not kidding. It happens all the time. It happened in a sandwich joint I was in about a year ago. And a lady was like, hey, I love your show, but please stop telling people to move here. I said, I've said the opposite. I've told conservatives to move here. But in my particular area, which was 50-50, I mean, almost exactly 50-50, it's gotten more Republican over time.

1:14:33And when you go into these communities, it's all retired New York cops and firemen who are very conservative. So, you know, it does work in the other direction, too. And the truth is, as migration to Florida has increased, it's gotten more Republican. So I don't want people to panic too much. But I did read that article that they're threatening to come down. And we're like, please, no, liberals. Nobody wants you around. Liberals don't even want to be around other freaking liberals. They're leaving New York. You have the opportunity to mingle with your liberal bow tie wearing buddies, smoking your cigars and eating your high end caviar.

1:15:06And you don't want it. You want to come down here with us, the working class, and hang out with the good, smart people. Have a good time on a Friday night. Here's the catch. We don't want you either. Graham, last question for you. Obviously, you, you know, having done a couple of stints with the military in the back on this side when you came back from your Department of War experience there. By any objective measure, this has been an unbelievably successful early stage conflict. By any measure. We're less than two months in, whether it's the destruction of the Iranian Navy, the destruction of ballistic missile capabilities, drone factories.

1:15:45However, there's a political war going on. There's one side I addressed earlier in the show that definitely wants us to lose. I think this is where, you know, Secretary Hegseth and Donald Trump staying out ahead of it and doing, you know, biweekly pressers and things like that will really help in breaking through and getting the message out there. Yeah, I mean, one, again, I've said it a million times, not only President Trump is the greatest president of our generation, but I think Pete Hegseth was an amazing choice for Secretary of Defense. I said this last time he was a generational choice for Secretary of War.

1:16:21it is amazing to me how many people, especially veterans, have all of a sudden lost the understanding of what an actual war is versus conflict via strategic strikes and all of this. If Joe Kent would have waited a week, peace talks are having right now. And so I don't understand what all happened there, all the stuff that's coming out about that. your military record, I will never touch it. But what you do now doesn't mean that you can't be an idiot politically and or reading the tea leaves how it is now. But I digress. I don't want to go into all that again on this show. This has been a success in every measure, just like every other military action that president has done, by the way.

1:17:08You've got these. Now, again, do I understand the Lindsey Graham thing? No, no one dislikes Lindsey Graham here in the state of South Carolina more than I do. In fact, when I ran for Congress, they said, how do you feel about removing your name and just like putting Allen on there? Because like Graham is such a bad thing in the state of South Carolina. So I don't get that either. But what I do know is this, the president has no intentions on anything except what is best for the American people. And sometimes to be truly America first. You can't be America first without American dominance. The rest of the world has to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the United States of America will not be messed with.

1:17:56When the president of the United States speaks, everybody else needs to listen. And it should fill Americans with pride that we have a president and a secretary of war that is putting the best interests of America for the long term, for your children, for your children's children, ahead of just putting a bandage on it and paying Iran money and saying, please don't cause us any problems so we don't get people upset with us in the polls. This is what real leadership looks like. And we have to push out the doomers and the woke, bright podcasters that we have, you know, Alex Jones and all these other people.

1:18:36Like, I mean, we've been, this is World War 7 at this point where we're at. I mean, the apocalypse has happened four times and I'm sick of it. Shut up. Let the president do his job because we elected him to make these decisions at such a time as this, not us, the podcasters. We all fought for this man to make this, make these otherworldly decisions with the whole world's weight on his shoulders at this moment, and nobody's better than President Trump. You're right. These guys are like Nostradamus. They've accurately predicted 37 out of the last two world wars. It's incredible. Yes. That's quite a track record.
