The Looming Threat That Nobody Is Talking About (Ep. 2445)

25:30So if you're on Medicare or getting close, don't guess. Here's what to do again. Dial pound 250 and say Medicare help. That's pound 250 and say Medicare help. Thanks chapter. We really appreciate being part of the show. Okay, back to the show. So again, how does this framing and gaslighting continue to persist? It persists because these media people isolate people from the truth. And they speak to a bunch of lemmings and bots on the left that fall for the current thing every time. I think the original current thing for the Trump administration, tell me if I'm wrong, that was the original current thing was the Russia hoax, right?

26:06Was there a current thing before that? I think that was the original one. There were so many current things about Donald Trump. Like he wakes up in the morning and drinks Diet Coke. And he only, remember that one story? He gives people one scoop of ice cream and he gets two. You're like, come on, that's stupid. No, that was an actual story. Dude, don't laugh guys. That was an actual story. Like we covered it on the show when Paula was the producer at the time.

26:29When he was said that, oh yeah, that's right. No, no. I'm sorry. Guy, good call. And Guy's not like the most political cat either in the world. Guy's like, no, the original bad thing was he announced. And when he said, you know, they're not sending the finest people over, they're sending rapists and stuff, which, by the way, the point he was making was accurate. Like these countries that are flushing illegal immigrants into the United States are not sending PhDs in nuclear science. Like that's the, you're right, Keith. Oh my gosh, Trump calls every foreigner a rapist. You are correct. That was the original current thing.

27:02But the Russia hoax was probably the biggest current thing liberals fell for. And we're never going to do that. So I saw this yesterday. you know Philip Bump. Philip Bump is one of the legendary media morons. He looks as dumb as he sounds half the time. And Philip Bump, again, like Nicole Wallace, has a quiet obsession with me, loves writing about me. Phil, I know you're watching today. It's good to see you. I'd give you the double barrel, but I don't want to waste the calories on you at this point, even the half the calorie it takes to lift my middle finger. But in our media moron moment, Philip Bump, who can't stop writing about me.

27:34This is how they frame bullshit stuff. They broke our institutions, the media folks. They've broken them. So nobody trusts anyone anymore. And I understand people don't trust government. People don't trust Medicare. People don't trust social security. People don't trust the FBI. People don't trust the CIA. People don't trust public schools. They don't trust institute. They certainly don't trust the media. And that happened because the media broke institutions. The media broke institutions by being the firewall against corruption of all those other institutions. And what did the media do? Sat on their fat asses doing absolutely nothing while institutions like the prior DOJ and FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, investigated Donald Trump for a fake pee-pee hoax, prosecuted on a trial in New York, a civil trial with no victims at all.

28:23And the media sat on their asses when they were supposed to be they were supposed to be the praetorian guard for truth that's why nobody trusts anything anymore they broke the institutions so bump writes this uh uh piece yesterday uh this guy dan bongino is happy to be back where he can serve trump best podcasting okay here's what he writes this is a trip philip bump 1l by the way philip talking about me for years he amplified trump's rhetoric and allegations about the world. He seized, seized, pounced. He seized. He seized on the idea that the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election was somehow, get a load of this guys, somehow based on a hoax and that Trump, the embodiment of presidential perfection was right everywhere.

29:13The left was wrong. Holy Moses, Phil. Again, do your parents tell people they have no kids? Holy shit. Are you really this stupid that the election was somehow based on a hoax? The Russian interference? It was a hoax, you moron. Phil, I'm just curious. How many presidential daily briefs and classified information briefings have you gotten on everything they did to institute said hoax? How many? The answer for... What are you doing? Oh, it's a zero. Jim's making it. He's doing this. Phil's got... This is the guy I'm talking about. This is exactly the media person who frames to you that Trump is going after grandmas who've done nothing wrong, going to be kicked out of the country.

29:56Trump's a Russian stooge. He's in a pee-pee tape somewhere no one's ever seen. Phil has said no classified briefings, has seen none of the information at all. And it goes after me suggesting that, oh, the Russia thing, you know, there's something there. There's no there, asshole. There's no there. I know you're a moron. We've seen how you act when you get called out on your bullshit. Wait, have we? Jim says we have seen that. Remember this? When Philip Bump, again, whose parents tell people they probably have no kids, they've changed their last name to avoid any association with this moron. Here's Philip Bump on a podcast with, I believe this guy's like a comedian.

30:36And he's asking Philip Bump about the laptop, the Hunter Biden laptop we all know is real. And who Philip Bump insisted like, hey, there's not a lot of evidence of this Hunter Biden. I said, guys, what about the laptop? Here's how Philip Bump reacts when he gets called on bullshit, and he wonders why nobody trusts institutions like the media anymore. Check this out. Okay, fine. Fine. It's evidence. I appreciate you having me on. It doesn't. Something like that. Who do you think is the more? I listen to that and I'm saying, you can free to go. I feel you want me to leave, like just walk out in the middle of this, because that way you can go.

31:08You can go. Is this a standard really? This is the way the Washington Post handles people who disagree with them? When I agree to be on for 45 minutes. And then I get on for an hour and 15. Yeah. That after a while I go. Thanks for having me. Hat tip, Noam Dwarman on that, uh, for calling Philip bump out. I don't know this guy, but I'm pretty sure he's not like a conservative. He's just asking him like, Hey man, the laptop is evidence, right? Like we know it's his and all like that's actual evidence. And Philip bump, this dipshit who somehow still has a job. It's still believes somehow that the Russia thing was based on actual evidence.

31:45he's got no information that's true at all. This is how they frame a story and how these lefty lemmings fall off a cliff. They frame it because they isolate you from the truth. Folks, don't ever forget the four steps involved in gaslighting. Lie. Trump colluded with Russia. Lie often. Trump really colluded with Russia. Lie confidently. Man, Trump colluded with Russia. And then isolate people from the truth. don't let them see the evidence that the whole thing is bullshit. This moron is still insisting there's something there. And he's upset because we exposed it. What a tool. I remember after the Comey indictment, after we produced our investigation to a grand jury and secured the indictment before the whole judge thing got involved, these people were going nuts.

32:44it wasn't us who indicted him it was a grand jury of his peers we don't indict it's the federal bureau of investigation not the federal bureau of indictments did he miss that what is he accusing the grand jury too of being in on it wait you got another one oh this is a surprise thank you this is this is totally out of the mainstream media coverage is not why biden is in population. Person at the highest rating amongst those prevented. Most who sat in the poll. Oh, yes. Oh, I forgot this. Imagine how much this was in 2024. They did some poll about where people get their news and who had the most credibility on the right.

33:25They know it was Dan Bongino, quote, far right commentator. Philip, can you imagine how much Xanax he had to take after writing this piece? Give me a Xanax. What does it come in? Microgram? Give me 72 micrograms. Mainline it in my veins. moron. All right, but listen, serious time, getting back to it. Framing works. Framing works for these people because they isolate an audience from the truth that doesn't go out and seek alternative sources of information. Folks, I'm going to give you both sides. I said when we opened the show on Monday, I'm going to tell you what happened, what didn't happen, why things happened, and why they didn't happen.

34:08Some things haven't happened yet, And it's not because of some lack of effort. It's because the judicial process works slow. You have to wait on grand juries, juries of people's peers. Grand juries aren't seated all the time. You have to gather evidence. You have to produce verifiable information. Or else what happens? Cases get thrown out. Cases get chucked out of court. People sue to get their jobs back. Things have to be done the right way. Philip Bump will never do that. I am not going to bullshit you. I've been clear about everything. The only things, by the way, I'm going to get this in there too.

34:41Some of the stuff I haven't discussed yet are because some of the things I was involved in are ongoing trials. So it's not fair for me to discuss them. That's why. I'm an open book, guys. An open book on everything. You may not like the answer, but it's the answer. Philip Bump's never going to give you an answer. And that's how we get into this situation we're in right now in Minnesota, where people are attacking ICE officers and CBP folks for just doing their job. getting people out of the country who don't belong in the country. They did not engage in a legal process to get into the country via a port of entry.

35:14They are here illegally. This is not controversial. It's only controversial because liberal nutbags have turned extremely violent because their liberal media morons like Bump and others isolate them from the truth. Here's what I mean. I'm going to give you a bit of an insider perspective on, one, I'm for the deportation. I just want to be clear of anybody who comes here illegally. Got it? full stop, period. I just don't want anybody to be misled where I stand and where I stood in my prior line of work. However, the FBI didn't have the capability by itself to do that. DHS and ICBP have far more personnel combined throughout DHS than we did.

35:52So we contributed, but the whole effort was not ours. We were actually a small piece of it relative to the larger operation. But it's just not possible at one time to deport, say, 10 or 15 million people here illegally. The logistics of it are just not possible. It can be done over time, but it's not going to be done overnight. So what would happen is you would see these stories in the media. Trump administration, you know, deports grandma, whatever it is. And you'd be like, my gosh, that's really horrible. Why are they targeting a grandma who's been here maybe 30 years, but still here illegally?

36:25Right. They were not targeting that person, but that person is here illegal, illegally. So what would happen is with ERO, emergency removal operator, we would get rid of people that the FBI contributed to with ICBP and elsewhere. We would target the worst of the worst. Those were the president's instructions. Because if you have, say, throw out a number, 20 million people in the country illegally, and a million of them are hardcore criminals, I think it's fairly obvious. I assume you'd all nod your head in agreement. You want the million really bad ones out first. You'll get, you know, you'll come back for the other 99 later.

37:00but you want the, you know, excuse me, you want the 19 later. Excuse me, you want the million out first. But what happens is a lot of these really bad actors hang out with other people who are illegal who are other bad actors. So you're not going to let them go. It wasn't targeting. That's just media bullshit. I would see it all the time. It really pissed me off. Illegal migrants and immigrants tend to congregate with other illegals. so they have to go too. You're not going to do selective justice. Oh, well, you're the good one. That's not the way it works. You got to go. But the media is not going to tell you that.

37:41They'll go do a raid and they'll get out four or five rapists or murderers and two others will be there who, you know, maybe had a couple of traffic violations or whatever, but we're still in the country illegally. And the whole story becomes about those two because they've isolated people from the truth. that is not what's happening and that's why you get a mixed reaction to what ice is doing there should be no mixed reaction people should unanimously say hey we're a welcoming country but you got to come in the country the right way i don't want to hear any bullshit from anyone my wife's a legal immigrant so is my mother-in-law oh you had a bias against immigrants you're just full of shit i married one there's a process there's a process to board a plane there's a process to buy allergy medication.

38:26Why? Because bad things can happen if you let people on a plane who are not vetted. Bad things can happen if people buy two tons of allergy drugs and start creating meth. Love it or hate it, there's a reason we have a process. We don't want people in the country who are terrorists, criminals, and murderers. You don't get to say double barrel to the process. I'm coming in my own way. This should be unanimous. I just want to play this clip from the San Francisco news station. Some guy put a billboard up around the Super Bowl, Defensive Player of the Year, Ice. It was like a pro ice billboard. And just watch your response.

39:00You'll see there's like the mixed reaction. Some people are like, oh, man, I don't know. I hate this. There should be no mixed reaction. This is all media framing at work. And it's causing a really hostile atmosphere against Ice and CBP folks, Holman, Kristi Noem, and others who are just doing the freaking jobs. Check this out. A new digital billboard at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco is evoking mixed reactions. It made me sick to my stomach. It's an ad that shows support for ICE. They have a job to do, too. That's it. You know, I don't have a problem with them. The billboard reads, Defensive Player of the Year, ICE.

39:34A group that calls itself American Sovereignty is behind the billboard. We tried to reach out to them to learn more about their motivation, but have not been able to reach anyone. I'm worried for my neighbors. I'm worried for what is happening. And I'm worried to see it escalating here. With the Super Bowl just days away, these concerned community members say they're doing something every day to get their message out. Listen, to the Karen in that video, I'm very concerned about my neighbors. I hate talkers. Do something. Be a doer. D-O-E-R. Do something. Remove your ass from the seat. Seat, ass, separation.

40:20create a little bit. Separation. Get the atoms apart. Create separation from your ass and the seat. Get your ass up. Move ass around and go do something. Go take in a bunch of these folks. Oh, here. Remember this? Will you save this? Holy shit. Remember this? Remember this? This was about the loan repayment when we were paying off people's student loans. There. This is it. This is from the old studio. I'll read it for you. For those of you listening on audio. Liberal guide to loan repayment. Don't be a bum. Take your rump. Rump on the graphic. That's mine. I drew that. That's great. It even says rump.

41:05Oh, sorry. Other way. Rump. Remove it from the seat. Get a freaking job and go make money. And then we have a thing. Ass seat with lines through it. There's a way to stop this stuff. You can go get a freaking job. Go do something. Go sponsor a bunch of folks from overseas. You want to come in here and help them get into the regular process if you think everybody's a superhero that comes in here. Go do it. Remove ass from seat. Ass seat. Disconnect. Ass seat connection? No ass seat connection. Do something. You're not going to do shit. I got into a big fight with Geraldo on a Hannity interview one time about this, talking about illegal immigrants and all.

41:49I said, how many of you taking it? Zero. Okay, so you don't do shit. You just talk about it. I absolutely hate that. I can't stand it. That's what I hate about the doomers and the libs and everyone else. They've never done anything. A lot of these people never even had freaking jobs. All they do, oh, this guy sucks. That guy's, maybe it's you suck. You ever think of that? To the Karen in that video. Maybe it's you. I want to take care of my neighbors. Take them in. Open up your house, Karen. Her name's not Karen. It is to me. I know. Listen, my name is Dan. I'm with you. It's like nobody likes the name Dan either.

42:23I get it. Sorry. We got to live with it. Just do something, man. Then you got people attacking ICE. Who told you this was a good idea? I'm going to let all this investigative stuff play out. I'm a big Second Amendment advocate. I'm certainly not criticizing anyone for legally carrying a firearm or anything like that. That's why I haven't dug into that case yet. I'm not avoiding any of it. I discussed it on Hannity and elsewhere, the Minnesota case with the IFO, the assault on a federal officer in the shooting. I want to see all the evidence. I want to see the evidence. What is the motto of the Dan Bongino show from day one?

42:58I don't want to be first. I want to be right, period. I'm going to wait to see what body cams say and everything else before I form a final opinion on it. End the story. However, can we all agree, divorce yourself from that case for a minute, that if there is a legal law enforcement operation going on, Whether it's immigration, a drug bust, or anything else. Can we all agree, regardless of your politics? Yes or no in the chat. Can we all agree it is probably not a good idea for you to interfere in a lawful arrest? It's not a good idea for any reason. It's bad for your safety. It's bad for the officer's safety.

43:34If you have an objection to what's going on, many of these departments have civilian complaint review boards. The federal government has DOJ inspections. You can file a report. It is a really bad idea. It's not just a bad idea for the federal agents and the cops. It's a bad idea for you. I don't want you to get dead. I'm not kidding. I'm not screwing around. It's me trying to be funny. I believe in your civil liberties too. Even if you're a leftist, you have every right to watch the arrest and say, this sucks. You're an asshole. I don't like what you're doing. You can't get arrested for that. That's your legally protected opinion.

44:08You can't go in there and put hands on these guys. It's just stupid. And why is this happening? Because the liberal rage machine is isolated from the truth. They've got everybody believing that these guys are the Gestapo, the fascists, the brown shirts, Hitler's Nazi team is back. And who's doing it? These lefties and people like Philip Bump and others in the media and the left wing media. why are they not speaking out against stuff like this where is this rage coming from causing people to get hurt because they're going in and interfering in in ice raids that are lawful listen to this now i want to be clear before i play jerry nadler the guy who i i'm pretty sure crapped his pants on stage one time you guys remember that remember that video nadler i don't know i mean listen it happens i guess i'm not sure i mean luckily it never happened to me or anyone else.

45:01I know, but you ever seen a video of Nadler on stage doing the penguin, like the waddle? It's awkward. And it's like in the middle of a presser. And he's like, I gotta go. So here's Jerry Nadler. And I think he's retiring, by the way, Congressman from New York. Here's Nadler yesterday. And I want to be clear on this because I don't want to be like these lefty assholes. I'm not suggesting he said in this clip here that shooting ICE agents and officers and CBP are okay. That's clearly not what he's saying. What I'm getting at is he used really, really awful verbiage that could be taken that way by lunatics.

45:37And the left wing media is almost silent on it. If anyone on the right were to say this, by the way, calls for public executions would be happening immediately. Check this out. The tax cuts on millionaires and billionaires enacted over the last 10 years. But what is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets. The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped. You'd be justified in shooting the person. I'm not going to play the game, man. I'm not. Because I'm not a leftist asshole and I'm not a liberal media good.

46:19If that was any Republican, forget Republican, any non-Democrat, even an independent or even some like Fetterman type who's a Democrat but sometimes goes along with Republican issues, the left-wing media would be going freaking wild. Congressman so-and-so calls for execution of said agents. I can't believe it. He should be fired immediately, impeach him, get him out of office, censor everything. but Nadler unquestionably used careless bullshit language that's going to stir up more rage and you see nothing this is framing isolate people from the truth it's only the right that has to answer for their language oh dude you guys these guys I've been here three days they're already taking it okay can you turn the AC down a little hot in there look at him come on you see the waddle what is going on there if that I don't know if he needed one of those wipeys or why I can't know if this that's good I'm glad you guys like I said I've only been here three days these guys are already taking the show into their own hand all right back to the serious stuff now they're going close up all right enjoy have fun all right I'll just sit here and wait you guys out finish my uh my black one more left put a little protein all right we don't need the extreme close up the audio people on Apple are like what the hell's going on and Spotify are like alright you don't understand like they played the video Guy enjoys that video with Justin laughing his ass off it's good we got it the wild this framing and isolating people from the truth where you allow people like Nadler to talk like this where some lunatic could take that as a license to go shoot an ice person and like I said I don't believe that's what he meant but it's still careless this one's even worse This is Delia Ramirez.

48:15I want you to listen to the way she tries to dehumanize Steve Miller, Kristi Noem, and Tom Homan of the Trump administration, key figures in this deportation border security effort, right? I want you, these people are totally mocking, laughing, and dehumanizing these people. And I don't think they care if anything happens to them at all. This is really horrible. Check this out.

48:37Dan Bongino:We must have accountability and we must bring justice to every fascist in the administration. And that includes Chrissy Noem. That includes Stephen Miller. And that includes Tom Holman. ICE will be abolished. VHS will be dismantled. And together we will get it done. So they're back. They're back to defunding the police again. You have never seen a group of people kick themselves in the nuts like these two. The knee joint doesn't even work like that. Liberal knee joints work in like a three-hand. They kick themselves in the balls. It's like a shoulder joint rather than a hinge. I've never seen people kick themselves in the balls without a cup on like liberals do.

49:27How well did this defund the police thing work for you? Donald Trump swept, he had that county's number, like thousands of counties more than the, he won a massive electoral college landslide, won the popular vote. You know, we run the Senate, we run the House. How many times are you going to kick your own self in the balls before you realize that men's penises in the women's locker room and defunding the police is a loser? It is a, and they're right back to it again because they fall for the current thing. Don't be a current thinger. I'm telling you, there's a short-term sugar high out of it.

50:08I'm sure this Delia Ramirez was sitting there trying to dehumanize, dehumanize Holm, Miller, Holman, excuse me, Noam and Miller. And if something bad happens to them, that could be part of it. could inspire some lunatic to go out and do something. Doesn't care. You know why? People in the crowd are like, yeah, that's great. Go for it, Delia. You're our hero. Give him a little heart pound, whatever. Long term, what happens? The Republicans took back the Senate, the House, and Donald Trump kicked your ass again. They're right back to the defund the police nonsense. You want to defund ICE? DHS, CBP?

50:53Is that what you want? You want illegals just randomly crossing the border again? Do you understand how freaking crazy that is? And this is the kind of stuff that goes on on CNN. You got that clip of that old NFL guy, Guy, I sent before? Folks, this is how they isolate people from the truth. I promise, like, I've done a lot of work with Fox News over the years and in other outlets as both my show. you better back up what you're going to say on there if you're going to call someone a freaking nazi or a fascist no one's going to like tell you what to say or not to say but you better damn well back it up with some evidence have you written about nazi writings have you engaged in anything donald donald trump's i love how like donald trump's a fascist in minnesota you got one side saying man he he backed off a little bit he's letting kind of the steam cool off and he's going to go back in later and then you got the other guys are fascists which one is it dipshits is Is he either cutting a deal and being reasonable to get his end goal and come back for the other 20 % later when he got his 80?

51:55Or is he a fascist who took 100 %? Sorry, I get a little worked up about this. Because the messaging is just so stupid.

52:08You'll see the same media assholes do that taco thing. Trump always chickens out. And then in the next sentence, like, but he's definitely a fascist who never chickens out and does the right. It does, uh, does the far right thing all the, which one is it? This is the reason you see crazy stuff like this and rage. Here's a former NFL guy. I don't know. He's a punter or whatever. Here he is on CNN again with the Nazi comparisons. I mean, do you realize you guys have tried this since he came down the escalator before he became 45? You've tried defund the police. You've tried that Trump is trying to be a king.

52:50Trump is a fascist. Trump is a Nazi. Are you ever going to let this go? Check this out.

52:57Dan Bongino:I believe we're on the path that Nazi Germany went down under Hitler. And I say that as a political science and history major, as someone who has studied history. and the parallels are very, very clear. This administration is trying to erase trans people. This administration is trying to put obedience over duty to the country. This administration is trying to thrust our country into turmoil in order to reap power for themselves. Okay, moron. One, I've never heard of you. I don't really follow the NFL that much, so it doesn't really matter. What a total dipshit. He's plunged the world, did he say, into turmoil?

53:35There have been like peace deals breaking out. Oh my gosh, total terror. He came into office trying to clean up the Ukraine-Russia mess that happened under your guy, dementia-ridden Joe Biden. What are you talking about? I see remnants of Nazi Germany, producer Jim. I took a history lesson in school. Oh, great. What exactly remnants? What rights? Did you hear the other part of the clip too? He's trying to erase trans people. What do you mean? Like there's exterminations going on? What the are you talking about? Tell me one constitutional right trans people don't have in the country. Go. Okay, thank you.

54:22Zero. And then you wonder why lefties go crazy and start attacking our ICBP federal agents and cops because they believe this stuff, these lefties. Because like this guy, Chris, whatever his name is on CNN, former NFL guy. I took a history class once in college. You're a moron. No one ever challenges them. You think the host would be like, well, what rights have been erased? I'm not judging you or anything, Chris. Barely. Even if you're a lefty on CNN, just tell me. He would be like, hold on, I got to go kick a football. Dumbass. So tired of these people. I'm so glad I'm back, like to be able to bring everyone back from the abyss of crazy.

55:08Listen, I'm not the only host out there. A lot of great shows. And I really appreciate all my colleagues in the business. You know, Ben, Clay and Buck, Sean, Mark, Glenn, all of them. But I'm really happy to be back. And it's an honor to be here with you. Another 109 ,000. You know, every day, Jim, the Doomers are like, no one's going to be there. And every day, six-figure people show up. We're like a top five podcast in the world. Number one, day one. I didn't even know where we were yesterday. Keep coming back. Keep coming back. Because I respect you guys. I'm always going to tell you the truth.

55:44All right, quick break. And I want to talk about this Don Lemon story. But not just from the superficial like Don Lemon sucks thing, which is obvious. It's not like, you know, breaking news. I got a long history with Don Lemon, by the way. It was my last CNN hit ever was me fighting with Don Lemon over the Second Amendment. I didn't even have facial hair. I think I had long hair back then, too. But I want to cover it from, again, the framing side. There's a key component of this Don Lemon story that the left wing media is not telling you. They're framing it as an attack on free speech. But they're leaving something very important out.

56:22that there is another bill of rights enshrined civil liberty in there that was attacked as well. They leave that part out completely. You'll see what I mean coming up in a second. Folks, I use my car a ton between work and at the studio, visiting family, weekend trips. You know the deal. I'm on the road a lot. And when you rely on your car that much, every strange noise or dashboard light instantly becomes stressful. I just had my car in the shop.

I didn't know that was like a tagline of hers yesterday. I just learned that. Very good. Haley's show, of course, is on at noon. Rumble.com slash Haley, two Y's, H-A-Y-L-E-Y. And look, they even got a chyron for it. I can see on the screen. Vince Colonese, the best of the best, of course, is on at 8 a.m.

59:47Eastern time. Rumble.com slash Vince. Always appreciate the work they do as well. Okay. We're talking about framing and gaslighting because folks, Our institutions are broken. Listen to me. Your buddy Dan totally understands and embraces and respects and values everything you guys say. The lovers, the haters, outside of like the morons, but who really get crazy. But really, I'm open to all of it. I was a public servant. Criticisms matter too. I digest it and take it all in. Some warranted, some you just don't know, but that's okay. I mean, I say you just don't know because some things we can't really talk about.

1:00:26However, I get that. one of the things though we do is i take it in and digest it and i try to give you a full picture what's going on and i'm never going to bullshit you i promise i am extremely proud of the work we've done over the last 10 years whether it's running for office whether it's the show the tv show the books the fbi uh stint over the past year and i work here but i'm never going to i'm never going to fail to give you both sides of the story. So Don Lemon, yes, Don Lemon is technically a journalist, okay? Does he tell the truth a lot? My humble opinion, I think he's kind of a BSer when it comes to how he frames stories.

1:01:06But we can't just say, you know, you're a journalist if you're on our side. But there's a problem with this case. They have framed this as this is attack on journalism arresting Don Lemon for going into a church with these groups of people who harassed a bunch of congregants in the church. This is an attack. The media people don't want to tell you anything about the other side. And that's how you get moments like this. Don Lemon was at, what was this, some dinner he was at? He's at a dinner. And again, there's no one even remotely critical at all. They introduced Don Lemon and check this out. A bunch of Hollywood times like, ah, Don Lemon's here.

1:01:41Can we get your autograph? Can we get a selfie? Can you sign the back of my phone? Check this out. Here we go. Look at this. Yeah, Don, we love you, buddy. Look at you. Oh, Don. He puts his hands up. Everybody, not a single person in this place. Standing O. Look at it. Do you see anyone not clapping? They love this guy. Real superhero. Not a single person is skeptical. I'm always careful about protecting the rights of the media because I'm an actual civil libertarian who believes in the Constitution. However, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a blanket authorization for people in the media to go and commit crimes.

1:02:27Producer Jim, last time I checked, is there an exception in the Bill of Rights that says if you're in the media, you can violate the civil liberties of others? There is not. I have not seen it. Either has Producer Jim. By the way, someone said yesterday, sent us an email and said, hey, you know, you talk to your team too much. Folks, I'm sorry. It's part of the show. Again, this show's not for everyone. I understand that. But for the 104 ,000 people who are here, it's an honor to have you. And I love my team. And they're part of the show. And by the way, 99 % of people love the interaction with this great team.

1:03:00So I love producer Joe. There is no exception here. William McGurn, who is a writer at the Wall Street Journal, I thought summed this up perfectly in this piece. Here's the part they isolate you from. Don Lemon, who could cite journalistic First Amendment protections, is ignoring the fact that people have the right to express their freedom of religion as well without people like Don Lemon running into their church causing chaos. Put up that McGurn piece. This is really well said. And by the way, again, I cite the Wall Street Journal a lot to be, because they're not, a lot of these writers are not huge fans of President Trump.

1:03:38But for all the left wing media, keep that up a second. Nonsense. It's like, oh, Dan Bongino is parading talking points. No, I'm using outlets here that I think are, you know, fair to both sides at times. McGurn says he's correct up to a point. Mr. Lemon's constitutional right to report at city's church isn't in question. It's not. He can report at a church as a media person. But another part of the First Amendment is implicated here, too. The right of Americans to the free exercise of their faith is mentioned in the same amendment that protects Mr. Lemon's speech. That's a right. The protesters violated when they disrupted the service.

1:04:16And now you know what happens in a constitutional republic, given that everyone's innocent until proven guilty. Don Lemon, too. Also, everyone in the church, what's on video? They're entitled to process like anyone else, folks. Now we'll go to a court and let a jury of people's peers or a judge figure it out. That's how the system works. You see any of that from the clapping seals in the audience, they don't give a shit about any of that. You got to get past the framing. Don't ever fall for this current thing stuff. Because you're seeing it as well with another thing in the news that I haven't got to talk about over the last two days.

1:04:53It's been a busy couple of days back. The SAVE Act. Folks, the SAVE Act is probably, chime up in the chat though. Tell me how you feel about this. If you agree with this assertion. The SAVE Act is probably the single most important piece of legislation moving through Congress and the Senate right now. The SAVE Act, which would institute some election security measures around the country, will not stop election fraud. Nothing's ever going to stop fraud. But it will significantly minimize instances of election stealing and election fraud that may or may not be going on in certain areas around the country.

1:05:35it is a critical piece of legislation i got a couple emails yesterday you know i listened to you guys i get it in the uh the show email on the website why haven't you mentioned the save egg no reason just there was a lot going on we're going to get to it now we're going to get to it now the democrats in their framing ever i see the chat blowing up i can see it out of the corner yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes you guys are awesome thank you we love the chat we only we could blow up the chat, by the way. Chris at Rumble, you guys are amazing. Your audience just loves the chat. You see it already slowing down.

1:06:06The framing issue is added. They're at it again, the liberal media. Every time election security measures come up, every single time, the Democrats go to the exact same playbook. What? It's racist. Hat tip, Tom Marr. He used to be a host up in Baltimore when I was there. He's since passed. But he used to say that all the time. Every single time. They never deviate from the playbook. And then when you ask them simple questions, like, hey, presenting voter ID, how is that racist? Are you suggesting people who are black or Hispanic or Asian can't figure out how to get an ID? No, they can't. Why not?

1:06:46Explain that to me exactly, why they can't figure that out. But white people can. Sounds like the racist is you. Explain that to me. Liberals watching my show, I know you're there, media people, Phil Bump and others. Explain that to me, Nicole Wild. Nicole, what do you think of this shirt? It's for you today? A little blue? Anyone got some romantic music they could play for Nicole? You guys got to dig. No copyrighted stuff. I don't want to get sued. Jimmy, anything. You know what I mean? You're a little like a little. Maybe I get like the Playboy smoking jacket or something. See, this is how I did.

1:07:22This is how I get crazy. Explain to me, please, Nicole, Phillip, Frank Fugazi, all you others out there. How white people can figure out how to get an ID, but black and Hispanic people can't. Explain, go. They can't do it. Who's the real racist? This save act is a ground ball. All it says is, hey, man, you know, you want to go out and buy a beer? You produce ID. You want to gamble in a casino? I like to play blackjack once in a while. I'm not particularly good at it. I get smoked more often than not. However, sometimes you got to present an ID if they don't think you're a vage. Why is it even remotely controversial to present ID?

1:08:03The answer is it isn't. So they go with this BS. Now, this is an issue, however, that despite the Democrats' best efforts to paint the Save Act, this act which would institute election security measures around the country, ground ball, ground ball, despite their best efforts, this is possibly outside of defunding the police and all the other Trumps are fascist bullshit they keep pushing. This election security stuff is racist is probably the dumbest thing they're pushing because it's just not working. I go back to this guy because he's a CNN pollster. He's not one of ours. Here he is talking about voter ID and the polling numbers.

1:08:38The Democrats keep face planting on this, but they won't stop because they like to try to steal elections. That's why. Check this out.

1:08:45Dan Bongino:Take a look here. Favorite photo ID to vote. Eighty five percent of white people favorite. Eighty two percent of Latino. Seventy six percent of black Americans favorite. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that in fact you should have a photo ID to be able to vote. Those are the numbers, man. We're not bullshitting you. It's a CNN clip. It's not Fox or Newsmax or Breitbart or Daily Caller, the Bongino show, bongino.com poll.

1:09:25It's none of that. It's a CNN guy. These people lie to you all the time. It is not racist. It's racist to suggest white people can figure out how to get a driver's license and black people can't. That's what's racist. Now, I bring it up because President Trump was on my show the other day and he was referring to the SAVE Act when he talked about instituting national standards for the election. And of course, the hysteria started immediately. We have the show name on Google Alert. So, you know, we can see how the public's responding to the show. It's how we market. We figure out where we're winning, where we got to do better on messaging.

1:10:05We've always done it. So I see it. There must have been, I don't know, a thousand plus articles on President Trump saying this with all. President Trump wants to nationalize elections, fascist monarch. here was a an MS DNCP so I don't know what it is MSNOW MSNOW whatever the hell I'm just going to call it MSNOW I know MS I get it but I'm not calling it that because they want me to and I'll call it what I want Republicans ought to nationalize the voting Trump eyes radical power grip he was clearly referring to the SAVE Act and ladies and gentlemen he's not talking about local elections for your city council or dog catcher states and municipalities conduct those elections as they see fit, as long as it doesn't violate constitutional rights, principles of federalism, there's state, there's appellate powers, federal powers, well, I'll get that.

1:10:54But national elections for the House of Representatives, for the United States Senate, and for the presidency should have national standards. This is, again, is completely not controversial. There is nothing controversial about this, except the left isolating you from the truth and framing it as some, here's that fascist again, Donald Trump. The fascist to what? Who wants people who won elections to actually win and not have the elections cheated from? By the way, that applies to Democrats too. I don't want Democrats who won elections to get cheated. No one's going to have faith in the system.

1:11:29I want fair standards. Why do you not want that? That was in, I think, Rachel Maddow's blog or something, MSNOW. That's going to be a thing. This is going to be a thing. Watch. Philip Bumper write an article. He doesn't know it's MSNL. That'll be tomorrow. That'll be tomorrow's piece. All right. We got two critical things. We talked about immigration and the framing of it. We talked about the SAVE Act. The Don Lemon case in terms of broad spectrum constitutional rights. Yes, you have a constitutional right to practice your religion. You have a constitutional right to be a member of the media. You don't have the right to engage in media activities and go out and hit someone with a baseball bat and go, hey, it was journalistic.

1:12:09you also don't have the right to say, hey, I'm practicing my religion. The first tenet of my religion is murder the first person you see. That's not the way this works. There is a balancing test for liberties that are infringed upon. There is a balancing test, the least restrictive means and a compelling government interest. The government restricts rights all the time, but it has to do it by the least restrictive means and there has to be a compelling government interest. If your religion says murder the first person you see on a Monday morning, is there a compelling government interest to get you to not murder someone?

1:12:50Obviously. How do you do it but from the least restrictive means? Well, you already have legal means to stop it. They won't even tell you that. Okay, as I said in the beginning of the show, moving on, I feel a public duty given my past year of work and away from the microphone to keep you guys aware of current threats, the threat environment right now. And I don't want to really I'm not here to panic anyone or make anyone freak out. Enjoy your life. Enjoy your kids. You know, things that are going to happen, you know, we're doing our best to stop them. But there's no reason to live your life in fear.

1:13:29Be prepared. Stay prepared. Be smart. You've heard all this. You don't need lectures from me. But we are living in a really dangerous world, folks. I'm going to tell you something. I came out. I can just be really kind of like open book with you right now. The past year was, I know, sorry, Guy. I'm just doing that. The past year was, to say life-changing is probably an understatement. it was uh it was in many ways things i expected in many ways things i didn't expect um but it really it when i say life-changing i mean it in a non-figurative manner i my life will never be the same like i look at things different now i hope it makes a better show for you i hope it makes a more enjoyable and informative experience.

1:14:25But not all of it was great for me because sometimes, ladies and gentlemen, sometimes ignorance is bliss. And when I had President Trump on the show on Monday, you know, I had mentioned that the threats are from space, they're from the water, they're from the air, they're from the grid, they're digital, They're undersea. The threats are everywhere. I mean, things like you can read in the media. It's not sharing anything you don't already know. Like the cutting of undersea cables. You can read about it all over the Wall Street Journal and national security stories everywhere. You know, this was not as prevalent of a thing over the past few decades as it is now with more undersea cables because there's more internet traffic and a need for lines and transmission lines and things like that.

1:15:15These are really serious. It's like you cut enough undersea cables and you cut off the internet, like a lot of people are going to die. There were really serious threats out there. So I feel like it's my job in context to just warn everyone to just like stay prepared. Enjoy your life. Enjoy your kids. But please, be able to sustain yourself. I've always said this for a couple of months in the event something bad ever happens. So I talked in the beginning of the show about the 764 threat, which is very real. monitor those chat rooms your kids are in restrict their access to friends only and please watch what they're doing if you need to keep that computer at the kitchen table rather than in their room folks it's worth it listen i don't usually share a lot of stories about my kids i will share stories about paula because we're both adults and she's always been part of the show but we had the same fight with my daughter i'm not going to go into details but it's not easy they want to go into rooms with the phones and they just want to disappear into the digital abyss if you suspect something's up, get that phone away and get that computer in the kitchen.

1:16:17You're going to get an extinction burst of behavior, but it's worth it. So we talked about that. But I want to talk about something else here too. Folks, the drone threat. Guy thinks this video clip, not this one, but the one I'm going to play in a minute here is the most interesting part of the show. I think so too. So I don't know. We'll see what you think. Tell me in the chat. Folks, the drone threat is a level 10 threat. And it's a threat for obvious reasons. I've spoken about it many times before. I'm going to give you a few reasons now. The threat from the air by drone attack in the United States and on our forces overseas is a level 10 threat.

1:16:54Believe me, people are very focused on it now. I can't speak about prior administrations because I didn't see a lot of movement. But I promise you, the president, Sebastian Gorka, has done amazing work at this at the White House. Cash and me worked on it. The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, all over this problem through Golden Dome. But the threat is real. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when, when there is an attack over here that resembles what Ukraine did in Russia. It's only a matter of what Russia does in Ukraine too, with drones. It's only a matter of time. And here's why I'm so concerned about this on show three I want to talk about.

1:17:30Number one, it's an asymmetric fight. The technology right now to take down some of these drones is way more expensive than the production costs of producing some shitty drones, putting like a clamp on it and dropping a grenade somewhere. I'm just throwing out numbers. It may cost$10 ,000 to mitigate it and$100 to create the drone. It's an asymmetric money fight right now. The technology is getting better. I don't want to scare anyone. But it's not fully there yet. Second, I'll go right into it. The technology cycle. When you talk to experts on the battlefield, which I did a lot of. I was obsessed with the drone problem when I got in there.

1:18:15The technology life cycle from drone to drone interdiction technology to overcoming the interdiction technology in the drone. You get what I mean? Create a drone. We create a way to stop a drone. Well, we're going to create a way to stop the thing you're stopping the drone with. sometimes is as little as three to four weeks. In other words, the second you get a technology, they just figure out a way around it. You disrupt radio frequencies. They work off the phone grids. Then they use fiber optic line guided drones. There's a thousand different ways to get around it. So you have a technology problem, an asymmetric money problem, and you have the easiest one in the world, which should seem obvious, human beings can't fly.

1:18:54So you get a problem on the ground, like a robot drone dog, You know, you could take it out on the ground. Disarm it, approach it. You can't fly. I mean, I think that's fairly obvious. It creates a problem. What do we do? We got to find another thing that flies to interdict the thing that flies because it ain't us. It is a really serious problem. I bring it up because I was putting together the show yesterday. I was watching some clips on Fox and I saw John Roberts and the great Caroline Leavitt, our amazing press secretary. I saw them talking about another attempted drone hit from Iran on one of our one of our ships.

1:19:31Here's what they said about it. Check this out.

1:19:33Dan Bongino:CENTCOM confirms that a U.S. F-35 fighter jet shot down an Iranian head drone that was making an aggressive approach toward the U.S. as Abraham Lincoln. this on the same day that a couple of Iranian gunboats were threatening a U.S. flagged tanker in the Gulf of the Persian Gulf, threatening to board it. So what is going on, to the best of your knowledge, and what is the president going to do about what appear to be some threatening moves being made by Iran, even as Steve Witkoff prepares to meet with the foreign minister, Aradji, either in Oman or Turkey on Friday? Well, sure, John, and thank you for having me Today, I did speak with folks over at the Pentagon this morning who said that CENTCOM acted both appropriately and necessarily to protect our U.S.

1:20:22Dan Bongino:personnel and equipment in the region. So CENTCOM did make the decision to shoot down that Iranian drone. now in light of what i told you in the beginning of the show when i was talking about the 764 threat and pedophiles and child molesters everyone trying to recruit your kids in chat rooms that the way to stop everything is put the fbi and cops in every chat room in america and watch everything all the time but we don't want that nobody wants everyone's civil liberties impacted We want predicates to crimes first. I gave you both sides. I'm going to give you both sides of the drone story because I'm not a doomer as well.

1:21:01The drone problem is freaking serious, level 10. But the drone technology is also going to work for us too. I just want to throw this up quick because I promised you it's not going to be like a two-year, hey, look at my resume at the FBI. But some of the stuff was there. It was relevant to this. So the first FBI drone training center down in Redstone in Alabama, We started that big hat tip, Sebastian Gorka, Jimmy, former chief of staff, my chief of staff when I left, Fred, they put all this stuff together and the guys down in Redstone. And the reason the drone training school that the FBI is coordinating is important is because it's our school, but it's not it's not training our people.

1:21:38It's training what they call SLTTs, state, local, territorial and tribal officers, because we can't do it alone. Nor would you want the FBI being the sole responsible party for the drone threat. You have problems in New York City. You have problems in L.A. You have problems in Tuscaloosa. Those cops need training, too. It's going to take a long time. But the drone threat training center, the first one, I couldn't be there for the ribbon cutting down there because it was a government shutdown. So there's no travel. So I stayed back and went to, you know, we couldn't travel at the time. But this is ongoing.

1:22:13It's going to take a while to get a lot of state, local, territorial, tribal officers trained and get them out there in drone mitigation. But I promise you, we're doing something about it. It's just going to take a, this is a really, really serious level 10 problem. But on the good news side, not just that, that everybody's moving on this because they know how bad it is. And Pete is doing amazing work, Secretary Hanks said over at DOW. There are police departments around the country, back to the surveillance thing, like good news, bad news, that have taken advantage of a lot of this drone technology to respond to 911 calls.

1:22:46So it's kind of a good news component in that you're going to have someone, or at least someone, a drone, be able to respond to the scene and see what's going on immediately. Some of these calls, it may have taken a half an hour to respond to. The bad news is we better get some good guardrails around what we're allowed to watch and what we're not allowed to watch. Because I don't want a surveillance state and you don't either. This is Guy's favorite video of the show. found this one on Instagram and I've seen this all over the country not just in Dearborn check this

1:23:14Dan Bongino:out today we have launched our drone first responder program we have six drones located across the city and it allows us to respond to any part of the city in less than two and a half minutes so like right now for example when my drone pilot Ryan's standing back there like for example what's this run right here and all these red boxes you see this is the map that's one of these runs is the traffic stop and so we can just hit respond here and launch a drone to that traffic stop right here from the building and you're going to see here briefly it's going to actually this is launching from the fire station off outer drive what you see here is the actual drone over on the fire station rhymes about to launch it and take control of it and it allows us to get a picture of what's happening and that live picture representative can not only available to us here in our information center, but can be in the scout cars and the officer's hands.

1:24:05Dan Bongino:If you see a drone above you, there's a way for our residents to go onto a transparency dashboard representative and see why that drone was in the sky, why we launched it to bring a level of accountability. So we're not just flying these around without purpose.

1:24:26You want eyeballs on that scene instantly to be able to relay back to the officers and agents responding from the sky. Hey, we've got two attackers with this style rifle dressed in whatever, red hooded sweatshirts. Fantastic. We like that, correct? But folks, this show always gives both sides and we don't bullshit people. There's a problem here. And it's the same problem I was talking about with regards to 764 and other things online. Who's watching the watchers? i promise you you have my word and when i don't know when the you know when foyers and stuff and all this other i think it's going to come out over time the record of what we did and what we didn't i say come out because there's some things i'm not at liberty to talk about i'm not going to say hey we're doing this now with the fbi so the terrorists cannot do that like i'm not going to do that that's just stupid that's just being an asshole using information the taxpayer entrusted you with to like, you know, to act like, you know, Joey's superhero.

1:25:28That's bullshit. But I promise you, Cash is a huge civil libertarian, and so was I. And I'm warning you about this stuff because, folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg with AI and quantum computing. You're going to see these drones being used by police agencies and likely the federal government, and you get the wrong people in charge, folks. This could break really bad, really fast. Let me paint for you a scenario, which if you think is futuristic and not now-eristic, you're out of your mind. You get a hundred of these drones in a medium-sized town working for the whatever, East Tuna Fish Police Department.

1:26:13Imagine them being equipped with computing power you don't even understand when quantum breaks. AI-based technologies, high-resolution cameras, the resolution's like nothing you've seen before, facial ID technology, license plate readers, being able to search the internet in microseconds in a quantum fashion once we get there, even non-quantum, the power of computing is there now to do a lot of this stuff, being able to search the internet in seconds, even microseconds in the future. Folks, you will have no privacy anymore. I did not lose my civil libertarian bona fides. The technology to surveil and spy on you is there.

1:26:59It is there now. There are no-touch malware programs out there. There's always going to be a balance between your individual liberties and the surveillance state. I promise you, there is a way to go full minority report right now. There is. You ever see that Tom Cruise movie, the pre-cox? We don't have pre-cox. But there is a way right now with the technologies out there to surveil you and everyone else that if we were a police state, you could drop crime probably another 75, 80%. No one would be free though because you'd all get caught up in that dragnet. Do you want to get caught up in a facial ID camera because you're out there like going to see a movie on a Friday night where maybe you should have been at work?

1:27:46Who knows? Maybe you should have gone to work. That's a work problem. Maybe they fire you. It's not a crime. I don't need that getting like a police database getting hacked into. And hey, John Smith was watching the new Gremlins movie on Friday at four when he was supposed to be at work. It's not your freaking business. Let work figure it out. Guys, ladies, I've seen a lot of stuff. This surveillance technology is scary. Be very, very careful with calls for more surveillance. I'm comfortable with the people in charge right now that that balance has been struck, the use of technology with really, really, really powerful guardrails.

1:28:29I'm comfortable. I'm also telling you that the government is people. It's not gremlins. It's not Casper, the friendly or unfriendly ghost. You get new people in there who don't give a shit about guardrails like we had with the Russia collusion hoax. It doesn't matter how many agencies you have. The FBI, the IBF, the CIA, the DIA, the ABC. It doesn't matter. Bad people will take advantage of it. This is why we have to win elections now, next year, the year after that, because there are people on the other side calling Donald Trump a fascist who will weaponize government in a heartbeat the minute they get back in power.

1:29:07And if you don't have people there to stop them and say, that's a really freaking bad idea, the technology now is so dangerous that I really do worry. I worry about it as much, if not more sometimes, than I do about an attack from a foreign nation. it is powerful what they can do some of the stuff they could do is beyond your wildest imagination i say that too because i'm in context of the current news story because most of you are probably aware somebody actually i was talking to someone somewhere i'm surprised i hadn't heard this story really tragic story most of you know savannah guthrie i would assume she's um like a commentator for, what is she working, NBC?

1:29:51Jim, do you know? Is she NBC, Savannah Guthrie? I don't know, it doesn't really matter. But Savannah Guthrie, really tragic situation. Her mom, you probably saw it, went missing a couple days ago. There appears to be malfeasance at the scene. Not misfeasance, it looks like this could be either a kidnapping, an assault, hopefully not a homicide, but it's not a good situation. Given her media profile, obviously this was gonna be a news story. I bring this up in context to the technology. I'm not just randomly throwing stories together. There's always a reason for this show. I don't randomly do stuff.

1:30:22When there's a break, there's a break. There was a lot of confusion when I was on the inside too about what the FBI can do and can't do. In a case like this, we are allowed to assist local law enforcement at their request. We don't come in and take over cases where there's no red line kind of federal jurisdiction. If it's federal crimes, federal crime. We can come in and not take over, but it's going to be our case. A case like this where there may be a federal crime, may not be, these local police departments typically will ask the FBI for help. But we don't run the case. It's their case. We're just, if they ask us for an ERT and an evidence response team to go in there, we can help.

1:31:03If they ask for a cast team, if they basically analyze cell phones, you know, we can help. But it's not our case. but I say that going forward in the future because a lot of the technology we had that we can use to assist is now as we work with local law enforcement departments more and Cash and I made that a priority I'm telling you we weren't working with law enforcement officers we had TFOs, task force officers but we leveled it up 100 % you're going to see some of these technologies that only we had access to start to filter down to law enforcement agencies the state, local, territorial and tribal level and you're going to see a lot of these technologies are going to become pervasive.

1:31:40And I've seen this in some of the narratives online. They break out. They want to blame everyone for everything. But we get called into support. We're only in a support role, unless it's an obvious federal crime, terrorism or things like that. So these technologies are there. And I would suspect by hopefully pretty soon that they will have a suspect in this case. They may have it already. I haven't been calling anyone and, you know, it's not I'm on the outside now and that's their job. I'm going to let them do their thing. All right. Well, one more story I wanted to get to from The Washington Post because it's a huge, huge victory.

1:32:19Ladies and gentlemen, you are winning on the messaging thing. We've been talking about framing left psychotic positions. We want penises in the women's room. Not a good idea, morons. We would love to defund the police. Voter ID is racist. They are going back. They have learned nothing from their electoral experience with Donald Trump. And they are right back to taking crazy, lunatic fringe positions they've always taken. They have no allegiance to the truth whatsoever. The good news is, bad news, good news, bad news, good news. Always going to give you the full picture here. We are winning. This Washington Post story is a huge deal.

1:32:55Folks, these medical groups and doctors and hospitals that were mutilating these kids, supposedly transits. You can't transition your gender. Your gender is your gender. You see the Washington Post here? First major medical group opposes gender transition surgeries for youth. Listen, doctor, I'm not a doctor. We can all acknowledge that. I'm not Dr. Dan Bongino. I've never been a doctor. Took the MCATs. Didn't get into medical school. Not a doctor. There are doctors in the chat, though. You can attest, if I'm lying, tell me in the chat. A lot of these medical groups, not all of them, but a good portion of them are run by big-time liberals.

1:33:36And a lot of these medical groups are like, this is scientifically backed gender transition. You're either going to get a trans child or a dead child. There was no evidence to back that up at all. It was always bullshit, designed to pressure parents to mutilate their kids. you need to, you know, in many states, ID to vote. Why? Because they want to make sure you're of age and you're the person. You need ID to buy alcohol. Why did we decide you have to be 21 to buy alcohol? Because we don't want 15-year-olds who don't have fully formed brains and their judgment is not all there to be drinking alcohol to make them even more impaired.

1:34:17We treat children like children and they have fewer rights. We don't let kids drive. We don't let nine-year-olds go out and buy guns. We don't do that, not because they don't have rights, because those rights are designed for fully functioning adults who've developed the maturity to understand what those rights are. We have always treated children differently, except liberals when it comes to cutting nuts off. You want to cut a kid's nuts off, they're like, cut them off. But the kid's nine. He didn't even know what his nuts do yet. Cut them off. It's okay. And it's true. And these medical associations run by liberals, like this is scientifically bad.

1:34:55Cutting the kids nuts off. They can't get the nuts back. They don't go in a jar. You're mutilating these kids for life. It's stunning. It took this long for a lot of these medical organizations to even start to speak out. But I'm going to tell you something. You know what made a huge difference here? This always makes a huge difference. And, you know, listen, this is one of those things that our legal system has its good and it's bad. There's a lot of unnecessary, expensive litigation that goes on in the country that costs innocent people billions of dollars. The legal system needs reforms, too.

1:35:33But the legal system does a lot of good things. And when a lot of these hospitals and doctors start getting sued by some of these kids where their nuts cut off or their breasts cut off, who now turn 18 or 21 and realize this is not reversible and their bodies have been permanently harmed, when they start suing the hell out of these medical institutions, you're going to see insurance companies are going to say, we're not paying for this because money talks, folks, and bullshit walks. And if you can't go into court with scientifically backed rigorous data showing you did this for a medically backed reason, what happened to the Hippocratic Oath?

1:36:10do no harm. If you can't prove that in court, you are going to have yourself a damn big problem. This is just the first. It was a story, Jim. It was like a$2 million lawsuit the other day. They lost against, they call them de-transitioners. I would argue there's no transitioning. Your gender is your gender. There is no transition. It doesn't make a man a woman or a woman a man. You're never going to do that. And you read some of these horror stories online about what happened to these children's bodies. Folks, they're never going to be the same. So for all our legal systems problems, in the end, they get a lot of things right.

1:36:50And this is one of them. You are going to see insurance companies for these hospitals say, we are not paying. We're publicly traded companies. We have shareholders. We will go out of business. You want to do these surgeries, you're on your own. And when those doctors and hospitals realize that the liability is personal, in other words, Dr. Jones can be sued himself, they're going to be, I ain't doing it. Well, I thought it was science-backed. You're protected in other ways, right? You do a treatment. You're protected in other ways. You'll go to court and defend the cancer treatment even if the patient dies.

1:37:24If you did the right thing, you have a science on your side. Why won't you do this? Because you know the science is not on your side. You absolutely know it. So folks, regarding the new format for the show, we will be going 10 to right around noon, every day, Monday through Friday, rumble.com slash Bongino.

1:38:32I came back. I'm not expecting everyone. Oh, look at that. They got a little graphic there. Rumble.com slash Bungino. Click the little subscribe. And there's a thank you they put up there. Very nice, guys. But I was a little worried, especially given that the whole live streaming ecosystem, audiences are down in the political space. I was a little worried. Now, after three days of just blockbuster numbers, thank you. I'm just I can't thank you enough I really love you guys I was you know people move on and to see you all come back in droves and basically the same audience I left with after a year gone and you know feeds atrophy people unfollow stuff is just really an honor but we will be going forward we are going to have guests maybe not every day but most of the time tell me and give me your feedback as the show goes on let me know if the guest segments are working for you or not If they're not, we'll change the format of the show.

1:39:27It's fine. But I really like hearing from guests because, you know, I feel like I got really good inputs on stuff. I think the numbers show, but other people have valuable inputs too. And I'm not a SME subject matter expert on every single thing. So when we got the guest lineup set up for next week, I'll tell you, hopefully by tomorrow or Friday, we got some really good ones.
