What You Missed From The Putin Meet | Episode 105

24:24Dan Bongino:It's not going to just be limited. This is Ed Martin telling you right now. This is not going to be limited to mortgage fraud. Mortgage fraud is the door that is opening. That's the way to open the door. That's it. Beyond that, all of the stuff that the grand jury is going to start looking at, it's going to get more and more and more expansive. This is not a good situation for Adam Schiff, who, remember, in the past week was just accused of leaking classified information to pursue an indictment against Trump by a Democrat Party whistleblower. These this is huge. In other words, they found something credible to open a grand jury against these guys, the mortgage fraud accusations.

25:10Dan Bongino:And now things are going to get completely out of control for Letitia James and Adam Schiff. so keep your eye on that ed martin is being very suggestive in that clip but i don't think people appreciate generally the detail that he was giving there other things martin confirmed yes i was visiting letitia james's home in brooklyn take a look cut three i was in new york for i was in newark actually new jersey for some meetings and i i went over to new york for another meeting and i went by there uh that one of the referrals is about that property that she has is a very uh a prominent neighborhood in Brooklyn and there, and I wanted to lay eyes on it.

25:47I think most people, if you know, if you're, if you're prosecuting something, you're careful. I didn't go there and announce it. I, some woman came storming up and shooting video and talking to me, but I wanted to see the property. And, and there's a number of other aspects of these cases where you got to get a sense of what is actually at stake. Do you have a grand jury in these cases? Let me say when you get a criminal referral, um, one of the tools you have is a grand jury and I'll leave it to you to infer what I mean, but these referrals are criminal referrals, significant enough that they would warrant using all the tools.

26:19And the tools include subpoenas and witnesses. And that is in our system. That is the system. I'm not like Jack Smith. Jack Smith liked to talk about how he did things and what he did and brag about. Letitia James did, by the way, as a prosecutor. She liked to come out and hold press conferences. I'll just tell you when you get a criminal referral and her own lawyer made the comments publicly, you can infer what you need to.

26:39Dan Bongino:You can infer what you need to. How hard can he possibly tip the hand he's holding right now? You're staring at it. You get to see all the cards, all the suits. You know exactly what he's saying. Yes, grand juries have been impaneled. That's the answer from Ed Martin without actually saying it. That is the answer. Great news. Staggering news out of the weekend. Wonderful news. Not appreciated to the extent that it should be. This audience appreciates it. more guess who else they're investigating that's right the january 6 committee cut four ed martin explains there are people here who did not receive pardons from biden they should watch their mailboxes what about the january 6th committee did they destroy evidence is there criminality there of course of course we're all in that too and trust me a lot of that a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the select committee and they ought to be uh keeping an eye on uh on their mailbox because there's a lot to be asked about yeah boy that brings a song to my heart and a tear to my eye i love that i love that so ed martin uh giving us that detail too uh and lastly here from ed martin while we're celebrating his excellent appearance this weekend um he says uh when when everything comes out the stuff that they're working on, all of these hoaxes are going to be taken down.

28:05Dan Bongino:Cut five. Here's Ed. I'm telling you, Pam Bondi has let us loose. And when this comes out, it'll take the whole of these people's hoaxes down. And we're doing it bit by bit. And it's fantastic. It's a great privilege. Yeah. All right. So Ed's excited. Ed's got a lot to be excited about. You know, you know, by now, if you've been following this show for these past many months, Ed Martin is a patriot. We've had him here on the program. I'd like to get him back again soon to talk to talk about all of this. He went he went quiet for a while as they've been plugging away at things. Good to see him out in public again talking.

28:39Dan Bongino:And look, that guy should have been the U.S. attorney. He was stopped by a guy called Tom Tillis in North Carolina. He should have been the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. But but we've got something really great going on here as he runs the weaponization subgroup. And now he's going after Adam Schiff. The Senate blocks him. senator adam schiff did not want ed martin to become a u.s attorney and now senator adam schiff has ed martin breathing down his neck i love that one more thing on grand juries uh that you should see this is this is an important piece from the weekend as well john solomon said this in a couple places but he said this in particular in the clip we're about to share with you on uh steve bannon's war room here is cut nine john solomon saying that right now there are four grand juries impaneled in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

29:25Dan Bongino:Notice I didn't say Washington, D.C. Here's John Solomon. Yeah, and I'll confirm for you, I have been able to confirm with witnesses that there are at least four grand juries currently doing work on the weaponization, Russia collusion, all the way through Ukraine impeachment investigation. That's the grand conspiracy case. One's in New York, two in Virginia, one is in Pennsylvania. That's what I've been able to learn thus far. So the grand juries are working. where they are doesn't matter. That doesn't mean where the indictments are. It just means it makes it easier for people to gather evidence.

29:57But that's a big deal.

29:59Dan Bongino:Yeah, a big deal. And get it out of D.C. That's a really key point because D.C. is just a rigged system designed to eternally benefit Democrats in the cruelest and most corrupt ways. So keeping it out of D.C. is really important. But four grand juries impaneled. This is not a small deal. We got a lot going on. New York makes sense because of Letitia James. Virginia, I think some of the perpetrators that we're talking about live in the Commonwealth of Virginia. So these are these are critical. And Pennsylvania is an interesting one. I see some people speculating that Pennsylvania may have something to do with the 2020 election.

30:37Dan Bongino:Perhaps. there's clearly something big happening right now you'll get all the updates here and all the first indicators for that matter okay coming up michael knolls stops by we have a lot to discuss with him he's got such smart insights can't wait to do it we'll do that in just a moment but first i want to share with you uh our great sponsors that includes hillsdale you ever just want to turn off the news and ignore politics it can be overwhelming but here's the thing we're citizens of a republic and the decisions that are made by our government affect our everyday lives. In order to be a good citizen, you've got to read and understand the United States Constitution.

31:13Dan Bongino:And that's why I'm excited that Hillsdale College does offer a brand new, free, completely free online course called The Federalist. The Federalist papers were written primarily by two of America's most important founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. Together, they explain how the United States Constitution established a government strong enough to secure the rights of citizens and safe enough to wield that power. Hillsdale's online course on the Federalist includes 10 lectures. They're each about 30 minutes long. You can take the course at your own pace. There's no cost to sign up.

31:44Dan Bongino:Plus, Hillsdale offers more than 40 other free online courses. And the Federalist course is neat. People think of the Federalists as the winners in that scenario. And of course, they were, basically. But the Anti-Federalists inspired the Bill of Rights. And these are the details that are all inside this excellent course from Hillsdale. You should check it out.

And if you can hear Major, he's whining in the corner of the room. That's my dog. Okay. Let's do it. Joining us right now from the Daily Wire. we have michael knowles he's got a great new documentary out it's called the pope and the fuhrer the secret vatican files of world war ii michael good to see you again sir thanks for doing this great to be with you thank you for having me and congratulations on the new documentary uh tell us a little bit about what what this is you know you take a look at pope pius the 12th and what he was up to during world war ii what was he up to well listen there's generally not a great time to release a docu-series on an event that's really interesting to me, but a lot of people don't really care about the papacy.

34:01They've never heard really of Pius XII. And we're in this moment right now where we have a new pope. He's an American pope. All eyes are on the Vatican. There's a huge upsurge in religion, especially among young people, especially returning to more traditional forms of the faith and even Catholicism. So I said, oh, well, this is the moment. We got to put this out right now. And also because it ties into something that we've talked a lot lot about recent years, which is fake news, because if anyone ever were the victim of fake news, Pius XII would be pretty high up on that list. He's been called the silent pope.

34:34He's been called Hitler's pope by propagandists. He allegedly was silent or even complicit in the Nazi atrocities. It's just bunk. It's just not true. And it's an attack leveled on the church by the church's historical enemies, communists, the left broadly. Don't forget the term the left comes from the French Revolution to attack the church, to attack throne and altar. So I think it's a really important series to clear things up. You know, Hitler was an enemy of the church. The church fought very strongly against Hitler and saved a lot of lives and did a lot of good. And, you know, a little sunlight is a great disinfectant on those lies.

35:12While we're correcting the record on so many other calumnies in our culture, I think it's really important to correct the record on this one because the church is the oldest institution in the West. It's the only one that has survived from antiquity until the present. And if the West has any meaning at all, I think it probably has something to do with the church.

35:35Dan Bongino:Jess, what Pope Pius XII was probably doing was not engaging in social commentary, but instead trying to figure out ways to protect Christians from dying. To protect Christians and Jews. This is the other thing that he has not really been given proper credit for, is even just immediately in Rome, Pope Pius XII did everything possible and succeeded to a great degree in protecting Jews from being shipped off to the camps. And he did so with his authority as the head of the church. But then broadly throughout Europe, hundreds of thousands of lives were saved by Pope Pius's intervention. Pius, before he became pope, was a diplomat.

36:12He was the Vatican's diplomat in Germany, actually. He had a very keen understanding of Germany, became the Vatican's top diplomat and then ultimately became the Pope. And so it's really timely, I think, because we live in an age where we think that we have to broadcast everything on TikTok and everything has to be really shiny and publicized. But the way that Pope Pius XII was so deeply engaged in the war was largely in silence. I guess in that part, it's fair, but silence doesn't mean inaction. You know, it was in a clandestine way, but it was to great effect. And he deserves much more credit than he's gotten.

36:50Dan Bongino:Yeah. OK, so. All right. So the documentary documentary is out now. Can people see this now? It's out now. It's exclusively on Daily Wire Plus. And I've been telling this to my audience. Look, Matt Walsh, he brought over a lot of a lot of subscribers because he's got he's got some little movies. I don't know if you heard what is a woman. And so Shapiro is brought over. But I want to beat them all. I want to bring over as many people as possible for a documentary on Pope Pius XII. That would give me a great deal of pleasure. I would rub it in their faces for weeks. So if you want to watch it, if you want to watch a series, Pope and the Fuhrer, it's on Daily Wire Plus.

37:23Dan Bongino:If you succeed, I'll be totally inspired. But I do think topically you probably are narrow casting a little too much to dominate what is a woman. That's funny. I love that, though. Well, I do hope you win. Let me ask you about some domestic politics stuff. The cleanup in Washington, D.C. I started the show by emphasizing that I noticed it this weekend. I was out on a boat on the Potomac and I've got all sorts of friends in Washington, D.C. who say they can't even believe how much better it is. You hear from D.C. residents on the ground talking to local media, the black residents of D.C. saying, I can't even believe it took this long.

37:55Dan Bongino:I'm so glad President Trump is doing this. But there's a category of elite, typically astroturfed white liberal who is absolutely furious that President Trump is cleaning up the streets of D.C. and they're accusing him of speaking of fascism, of being a fascist for doing it. What do you make of that response? How could there be a pro-crime coalition? There's a pro-crime coalition and apparently a constitutionally illiterate coalition because they're not just calling him the F word of fascist. They're calling him the F word of federalizer. Apparently Trump is engaging in a federal takeover of DC.

38:29Just if any of them are listening right now, DC already belongs to the federal government. It is a federal district that goes back to the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, Congress controls D.C., quote, in all cases whatsoever. Then the president has had a role here as well. For 102 years, the president would appoint the governors or mayors of Washington, D.C. It only really starts in 1973 with the Home Rule Act that D.C. has a robust local government. hasn't worked out very well if you've spent any time in the federal district. And even so, President Trump's alleged federal takeover of D.C.

39:10works within the context of the Home Rule Act. I think they should repeal the Home Rule Act, but President Trump is working within the confines of the Home Rule Act, taking over parts of the police department, as is his right. I spent a lot of time in D.C. Vince, you spent a lot of time in D.C. This place has gotten really bad. Democrat Congressman Henry Quellar carjacked at gunpoint by Capitol Hill. Naomi Biden, the president's granddaughter, carjacked in a Secret Service vehicle in Georgetown. Georgetown's probably the nicest part of D.C. I have personally been out with a U.S. senator in a nice part of D.C.

39:43and saw him get carjacked. And not even because they thought he was a senator. It's just because carjackings happen in D.C. It's gotten so, so bad. Nobody really benefits from that. So the residents, I'm sure, are thrilled that the crime is getting cleaned up. The only people who are upset are the elite Democrats who never have to deal with the consequences of their policies, who live in gated communities in the suburbs and are attacking Trump for cynical political reasons while he gets the job done.

40:08Dan Bongino:So, okay, I think you kind of answered my next question at the end there. Cynical political reasons. In other words, the only reason they object is because it makes Trump look good? It makes Trump look good. And also what they want is not to have the federal government reassert its traditional and constitutional role in the federal district. They want statehood for D.C. And the reason they want statehood for D.C. is because most D.C. residents are Democrats and it gives it totally shifts the balance of power in the Senate and the Electoral College. It would be completely contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution.

40:38But that's really what this is about. So it's also that argument, that argument is so easily

40:43Dan Bongino:pierced as fraudulent when you suggest retroceding what's left of E.C. back to Maryland. If you say, well, we just give it to Maryland then and those senators will represent you. Oh, you want representation? Perfect, we'll give you to Maryland. And they say, no, we don't want it. We don't want it. Why don't they want it? Because they want two free senators. It's as simple as that. Simple as, that's what they're after. And so what Trump is doing, and I think this is really refreshing for a lot of Republicans, is he's wielding his just political power because the people voted for him. And so often we've gotten these squishy Republicans who don't want to wield any power.

41:18they just want to sit around and do nothing and they make some kind of supposedly principled argument about it. Trump is saying, no, I am. He said this in 16. He said, I'm running for president so that you have good neighborhoods. And a lot of ideologues got upset about that. They said, the president shouldn't be involved in good neighborhoods. No, he should be. You know, it's a it's about one nation. We don't want to have a nation of haves and have nots of the people who have to deal with crime and drugs and a nation that gets to live in the suburbs and the gated communities. We want a thriving nation.

41:46D.C. is the nation's capital. It's a symbol of the whole rest of the country. We all have a right to that. And so the only thing I would suggest, I would say they need to go further. Deportation crackdowns are great. The crime crackdowns are great. But I was in D.C. over the weekend for an event. I was hosting an event for the Department of Education, and they still have those stupid pride flags up. Vince, it's August. I thought I thought the pride month such as it is was June. Now it's pride quarter of the year. I don't want any of those pride flags. So whenever the wonderful new police and National Guardsmen have a moment, rip down those stupid flags this is the people's capital put some american flags up yeah how

42:19Dan Bongino:embarrassing i'm so sorry that it was like that when you arrived here i you know um can you talk more about the value of having a clean and functional and law-abiding capital because you know one of the um things that the trump administration has talked about regarding crime in dc is if dc were its own country that the state department would warn people against visiting it Like that's because because we it has crime rates that are at levels that normally the State Department alerts you before you go there. You probably shouldn't go. What's the what's the value you think in having a clean and functional capital?

42:53Well, to quote the butler from the first season of The Crown, it's in the little things that the rot begins. You know, this is something Giuliani understood beautifully in New York in the 90s. It's that one broken window, that broken window. If you don't take care of it, the whole neighborhood is going to fall to pot and there's going to be crime and there's going to be drugs. and it all just kind of snowballs on it. So you have to take care of these little things also because the nation's capital is a symbol for the rest of the country. Why do we have these big, beautiful, neoclassical buildings there?

43:23Why? Is it just because the DC residents have good taste in architecture, increasingly bad taste in architecture? No, it's because it's a symbol of the whole country. The Capitol, the White House, the monuments on the National Mall. If the Capitol has fallen into decay and corruption and violence and disorder, that is symbolizing that that has happened to the rest of the country too. And it's why, by the way, Trump does not want to just stop with DC. It's why Trump says, we got to look at Baltimore. Baltimore, you feel like you're driving around Afghanistan when you're on the Amtrak going through Baltimore.

43:56Parts of that city look horrible. Oakland is a failed city. It's like a failed state, okay? And what Trump is saying, unlike a lot of his Republican predecessors, he's not just saying, yeah, whatever, you do you, figure it out. yeah, if New York falls to hell, that's their problem. It's not my problem. No, Trump is saying we're Americans and our cities are part of our country and Americans have a right to good cities. And I'm not just going to say go to hell and you deal with your own problems. I'm the president of all Americans and we're going to fix it.

44:25Dan Bongino:You deserve better. So, you know, one of the things I've seen, you mentioned Oakland, the mayor of Oakland is one of several black Democrats who run these cities that are, that are doing very poorly. And the black Democrats who do run these cities have come together to agree on the reason President Trump is doing this is because he's scared of black Democrats. He's scared of black people in particular. Brandon Johnson said that, that President Trump is intimidated by the black intellect. That was his view. Why are they? His own, I'm sure. Brandon Johnson. Exactly. Specifically. Why, pray tell, are they racializing this particular question?

45:02I think they're very nervous that Trump won one in five black male voters in 2024. And that that does not seem like a huge number, but if you look at historic trends, that's a massive shift of black voters over to Republicans. Trump has done it uniquely. Bush was not able to do it. Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney. So Trump is representing the Democrats potentially losing their power. And the way that they're choosing to respond to that, I think is probably wrongheaded, which is they're trying to just double down on the racial grievance, double down on the claims of racism or whatever, But it didn't work.

45:36You know, they tried that 16, 20, 24. Black people moved more and more in Trump's direction. So now Trump says, hey, I want to help you. And unlike everyone in both political parties up until me, I actually care about you and I don't want your kids to be murdered. And I do want your kids to be on safe streets. I just don't think it's going to work.

45:55Dan Bongino:okay all right and then let me end where i've been obsessing lately which is and i just was talking about before you got here um was the pursuit of justice for the russiagate conspiracies um the administration clearly feels an immense amount of pressure and i think it's coming from both directions i think i think president trump is hovering over the justice department saying i need accountability meanwhile the rest of us down here are going we need accountability where what's going on here what do you make of the state of play in that particular pursuit well it's it's a brutal problem for Trump and even for the DOJ, which is we constantly complain that there's never any accountability and these bad actors on the left get away with it.

46:34But we also have the attention of a fruit fly. So the problem really is even conservatives, not the ones who are watching your show, not the ones who are really plugged in, but there are plenty of conservatives who say, what was that? Oh, it was like 10 years ago and Obama, who's Obama again? And they just forget. And that's what the left is counting on. And not just the left broadly. I'm talking about these real bad actors, Clapper, Brennan, Obama himself, the Clintons, people who would appear to have broken the law and acted in a very corrupt way. They're just planning on all of us forgetting.

47:04And Trump doesn't want to forget. And I think a lot of the really fired up people in the base don't want to forget. The job for all of us is we need to convince those kind of like kind of pay attention people. You say, guys, if you don't hold them to account now, they're just going to do it again. For sure.

47:20Dan Bongino:For sure. And if you don't hold them to account, you will let the energy out so sufficiently of the right that people are going to check out from elections. It's not I mean, again, this audience, probably not your audience, Michael, probably not. But there's going to be broad categories of people are going to be like, why am I voting? Why am I getting involved at all? Because every time I vote, I don't actually see the outcome I deserve. And then they become so disheartened, they disconnect from the process. I think the vice president put it very well just the other day. He said, the left responds to power.

47:51Everybody responds to some degree of power, but the left really only hears power. And so it's simple as if these people are not held to account for lying, weaponizing the government, subverting an election and undermining an entire presidential term. If they if they are not held to account for that, I promise you they're going to do it again in 28 and 32 and 36. And it's not going to stop until we make it stop.

48:18Dan Bongino:all right michael knolls thank you as always man do the best appreciate you and michael does have that great new documentary the pope and the fuhrer the secret vatican files of world war ii available now at the daily wire thank you michael good to see you see you next time nice to see you there he is michael knolls oh it's cool to have michael knolls stop by um okay uh you know he was just talking about this um that all these guys need accountability and that people's attention span will move on. They're hoping you get distracted and move on to something else. That's definitely true of James Comey.

48:49Dan Bongino:James Comey is desperate for you not to talk about his crimes. In fact, the place that he'd rather be is getting you to talk with him about Taylor Swift. Have you seen this? I don't not know what this guy is doing. I mean, other than putting together these gay diary videos, I can't even begin to explain what this is. Here is a cut 10 further reason for us to lockup James Comey said that the world is spared from things like this. Hey, everybody, welcome back to my sub stack. Last week's cold turns out to have been COVID, quite a flashback. And Donald Trump is still president and still humiliating America on a national stage standing next to Vladimir Putin.

49:29It's like a dream, a bad dream you can't wake up from. I don't want to talk about that bad dream this week. I want to talk about a truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift. Of course, I watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey brothers. Of course, I watched the whole thing, although on YouTube, Patrice and I got kicked off for the last 15 minutes and finished it on her phone. Oh my goodness. You see, Taylor Swift and I go way back. I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago. I've been to a second and I have - What is wrong with this guy? I actually support the attendance of a lot of family members at others.

50:05he should be on a list swifty group chat i know all her music and i listened to it in my headphones when i cut the grass what there's something desperately wrong with that human being

50:18Dan Bongino:i'm a swifty i know all of her music i constantly go to her concerts i financially support people who go to her concerts you are so i don't know he's such a basic bitch that guy that's unreal that he's you put that on video and you shared that with the world you should keep that to yourself don't say that out loud it's kind of embarrassing actually here he is saying that uh he was at recently oh he was describing what what occurred at his second taylor swift concert here's james comey at my second taylor swift concert in hartford connecticut 14 years ago this summer she sang a song about this topic asking why you got to be so mean oh my goodness and she spoke directly to the nasty people i bet you got pushed around somebody he's a teenager but the cycle ends right now he's an angsty teenager on that road you'll be glad i didn't sing that that's right because he's wearing a suit his unhappiness nobody should have that power over us thank you taylor swift

51:28Dan Bongino:Why is he wearing a suit, staring into a camera, reading a typewritten monologue about Taylor Swift? What the hell is that supposed to be? That's so crazy. Why you got to be so mean? He's he's an angsty high school girl, an overgrown angsty high school girl making shell art about how much he hates President Trump on the beach and then posting it to Instagram. there's something desperately wrong with that human being you know we we ran that video through um a truth filter actually for you this morning because i do feel like you are owed a better clip of james comey than the one you were just delivered so here is james comey as put through the vince program's uh excellent high-tech truth filter.

52:18Dan Bongino:Here he is. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to my super ultra gay narrated journal, Substack. Last week's cold turns out to have been COVID. And I'm a big bitch who is afraid of the China virus. So it was quite a flashback. And Donald Trump is still president and still the greatest president who ever lived. And I'm so glad he's trying to put my lying treasonous ass in jail while he negotiates with my good buddy Putin, who helped me create a total hoax about Trump. I want to talk about a truly inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift. I turned in my man card only minutes after being born and I've been in perpetual bitch ever since.

52:52My spineless ass would leave my entire family for the opportunity to meet my greatest idol Tay Tay.

52:59Dan Bongino:I can't even believe the technology exists for that. Man, things are moving very fast, aren't they? Justin, I don't know how we did that, but I'm very impressed. Thank you for that. So, yeah. What's that, Justin?

53:13Dan Bongino:Oh, yeah. Oh, the same way we got the Jim Acosta exclusive? Well, whatever it is, it's very high tech. And I'm grateful. I'm grateful that we get these guys telling us the truth. That's the only time you're ever going to hear that. We should we should get more testimony from Comey, though, to give us more of a sense of how exactly he betrayed the country and abused his power and tried to destroy an entire presidency, but failed at doing that. Maybe we'll maybe we'll do further interviews with the truth filter James Comey in the future. But that's what that guy is up to. That's what that guy is up to.

53:44Dan Bongino:It's just remarkable that what possesses, how old is James Comey? Let me check real quick. I want to make sure about the age here. How old is James Comey? He's 64 years old. He's 64 years old. He's filming selfie videos wearing a full suit talking about how he knows every one of Taylor Swift's songs and how Taylor Swift is inspiring to him and is helping him cope with not liking Trump. Did I get all that? That's crazy. that's really completely crazy what we're hearing. So anyway, that's, that's James Comey. In case you were wondering, and, and he's definitely one to be clear who's on the list.

54:28Dan Bongino:He's on the list. And so I don't know, I don't know how long Comey is going to have filming videos like that and releasing them in public, but boy, I can't wait for those to end. All the more reason to cuff that guy, put, put them in cuffs. I told you earlier that there's a there's a homeless man in Washington, D.C. who his name is David Barnes. Check this out. This is the Daily Caller with the summary here. David Barnes, a homeless dude living in Washington, D.C., just told The New York Times on Friday he doesn't regret voting for Donald Trump, despite his tents being tossed out amid Trump's calls to crack down on homelessness and crime in the city.

55:08Dan Bongino:David Barnes, comma, who is homeless, comma, told the New York Times that he found his tent, which had previously been located in Washington Circle, missing after police officers had once again thrown his possessions in the trash. Barnes told the outlet that Trump and his presidency has taken away two, not one, two of my tents. Isn't that amazing? Boy, that's a big degree of winning. If you are such a good president that you could take the guy's tents over and over, and he still supports you, it's a sign you're succeeding. Despite this, Barnes told the New York Times that he previously voted for Trump and would vote for him again due to the president striving to keep the nation's capital pristine and beautiful.

55:50Dan Bongino:The report comes amid Trump's ongoing crackdown on homeless encampments in D.C. Okay, here's the thing, though. This guy, David Barnes, comma, who is homeless, comma, he should go get a home. He should take up residence in a state where Trump can actually win or somebody like Trump can actually win going forward to the future. David, move to Virginia. Give us another vote in Virginia. We'll get that thing a little bit closer to actually voting for a Republican again. How about that? And maybe J.D. Vance in the next cycle. So find a place, set up shop there, and let's have your vote there. That'd be good.

56:24Dan Bongino:But there's the president cleaning up the city. That's great news, too. And I got to say, everybody I keep talking to, they love it. They absolutely love what the president is doing right now to fix things up. All right. I've got a big national radio show coming up today.
