We've got the Star Chamber trial beginning today in New York. We've got people talking about World War III again. We stop with the World War III. World War III is going to be...

Starting point is 00:02:35 I don't want to piss you all off by talking about my personal life for 20 minutes on a busy news day. But I just want to throw this out there. I had a fantastic weekend with the family and some friends. I was out at the Stewart's Sand fantastic weekend with the family and some friends. I was out at the Stewart's Sandbar, spent some time in the sun. It wasn't too hot. I'm just going to leave it at this. Folks, you don't need a lot of friends. What? What kind of stupid? No, no,
Starting point is 00:02:54 it's true. You don't. You need very few good friends. And I am blessed by God, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, with some of the greatest friends ever. And man, me and Paula, we hang out with this couple, the famous orthodontists, all the time. And we just sat there on his boat. I don't have a boat, but at the sandbar. And we just sat there for like 10 hours. I'm like, what'd you do?
Starting point is 00:03:21 The answer is nothing. We just hung out because we like each other. And they're good friends, man. And good friends, time just stood still. You ever do that? You're hanging with some good friends. And like the day feels like it lasts for 10 days. You don't need a lot of friends.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You just need some good ones. Something else happened to me this weekend. That's I'm done with the personal stuff, because although this is personal, it's not. There's a movie taken America by storm right now called Civil War. Now, listen, you know my position on Hollywood, so I'm not going to waste your time explaining it for the thousandth time. I generally avoid movies that enrich people who hate my guts, but I've made movies myself.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I made one with Dinesh D'Souza called Police State. We loved it. We had a good time. And this movie is about an actual civil war. It's by a director. I think his name is Alex Garland. And folks, I felt an obligation to go watch this movie. Again, I generally don't give money to leftists in Hollywood,
Starting point is 00:04:24 but I'd heard so much about it. And here was the interesting thing about this movie about a civil war in the United States. Both sides of the political aisle seem to complain about it. Conservatives thought it was an anti-conservative movie. And liberals think I'm not kidding, by the way, go read the reviews of the movie. Liberals think it's like a pro-MAGA movie, which is the weirdest thing. So given the topic we've discussed so much, just this partisan bang, bang, bang, bang, bang in the United States,
Starting point is 00:04:53 I wanted to go see it. So I saw it. I'm not going to give you any spoilers on it. But I'm going to tell you this, and I just told all of these guys this, and Evita, off the air, this isn't some bullshit act I'm putting on for you guys. I hate Hollywood. I give them the double-barreled middle finger all the time. This is not an anti-conservative movie.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I didn't get that at all. I'm not going to give anything away. I'm just going to tell you, if you know what to look for in the movie and these little cues, some of the killers and the bad guys are, it's implied at least that they're like identity politics advocates, if you know what I mean. Look at some of the hair color on some of them. I'm just saying, you're going to walk out of that movie
Starting point is 00:05:44 and you're not going to know who the good guys and the bad guys are. And that's why a lot of people hated it because they wanted to be told going in. These are the good guys. You're not, I promise you, you'll have no idea. Just throwing that out there folks, because there's a lot of back and forth. And as a former agent myself, again, I don't want to give anything away, but there's the, the end of the movie is tough to watch. And as a guy who'd been there, I'm like, damn.
Starting point is 00:06:12 So I'm just going to throw that out there. I saw it. I did not get that at all, that they picked the side. I'm not telling you it's not made by liberals. I'm not telling you to not profit. I'm not telling you any of that. You do you. I have an obligation to report to the audience. This movie's like taking over America. I think I got to know you to not profit. I'm not telling you any of that. You do you. I have an obligation to report to the audience.
Starting point is 00:06:26 This movie's like taking over America. I think I got to know what's going on. I did not get an agenda there at all. At least one they wanted you. You'll see what I mean. You can wait for it to come out free or whatever. I don't care. Anyone can give me my totally understand.
Starting point is 00:06:40 All right, moving on. Folks, the Star Chamber trial starts today up in New York. What do I mean? Donald Trump in probably in New York. I'm not a lawyer, but I spent a lot of time around the law, law enforcement guy. You get the point. I have never seen a worse criminal case put together, prominent worst political case. Let me put that modifier now, in my entire life. prominent worst political case. Let me put that modifier now. In my entire life.
Starting point is 00:07:07 This is the Alvin Bragg for, excuse me, concealing a criminal business record trial. The case is so complicated, it's hard even for me to explain. Now, because Politico, also known as Bullshitico, a bunch of left-wing activists, they know this case is a turkey, that there's a strong likelihood will result in at the minimum a mistrial, where at least one juror is like, ah, this is bullshit. They know they got a problem.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Here's Politico's Kyle Cheney. You're're never gonna meet a more left-wing dude than this they're already putting out instructions for jury selection who are the judge of them hey man you better get this you get the point folks like this it's it's not even subtle it's not even subtle they're like hey here's how you pick a bunch of jurors who will convict donald trump here's the piece how to pick a jury that can judge Donald Trump. No, that's not the real headline. No, yes, it is. So a bunch of left-wing media people who are not supposed to pick a side, supposed to be journalists.
Starting point is 00:08:16 That is the one thing about Civil War. The Civil War, the one beef I had, they make the journalists, some of them, out to be heroes. This one guy is kind of a tool. But look, here are the hero journalists here at Politico. How to pick a jury that can judge Donald Trump. They're basically telling the judge and the jury selection process,
Starting point is 00:08:34 they're telling them like, hey, here's how to get a jury that's basically going to screw this guy over. Folks, this is one of the worst cases I've ever seen. I have a hard time explaining it to you, not because I don't understand it or you're incapable of understanding it. I'm having a hard time explaining it to you
Starting point is 00:08:52 because they haven't explained it to us. Here's John Turley, an excellent lawyer, relatively nonpartisan guy, trying to explain exactly this. Like this case is a turkey. I'll give you my take on it after this. Check this out. Everything about this case is, in my view, legally absurd. You know, this case is basically a state misdemeanor that had run out on the statute of limitations. And Bragg was forced after he declined for a long time to bring this charge, to do so. His predecessor rejected it.
Starting point is 00:09:27 And so they took a dead misdemeanor and bootstrapped it into effectively trying a federal crime. But the federal crime here under election law was rejected by the Department of Justice. They didn't feel that this should be charged. So you have this crazy case that's going to go forward and it's going to turn on the testimony of people like Michael Cohen. And Michael Cohen just recently had a judge call him a serial perjurer. And he's going to appear
Starting point is 00:09:56 as the center of this case. Unbelievable. Folks, that guy is not a big partisan. He is 100% not a Trump guy either, but he's a very smart lawyer. What he's saying there is true. Let me try to explain to you this case, and I'll try to do it in a minute or less.
Starting point is 00:10:16 They were trying to put a falsifying business records misdemeanor charge on Trump. He had to fake some business record, okay? The problem is it's a misdemeanor the statute of limitations had worn out on. In order to bump the statute of limitations, they need to charge the business falsification in advancement of a felony. The felony they kind of bootstrapped in was the payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels to supposedly hide this affair, which they claim is a felony because it was supposed to be a campaign donation
Starting point is 00:10:51 to advance Donald Trump's campaign, even though the filing for the campaign would have been done after the actual election. Look, I did it with 10 seconds to spare. If you're in the folks language alert here, I'm sorry, but I got to, if you're in the chat right now thinking, what the fuck did you just say? So is everyone else. Nobody, I can't, nobody understands this shit either. So it's a business record with a statute of limitations, but they waived it because of a felony on a campaign violation that the FEC said wasn't a violation,
Starting point is 00:11:38 and the filing would have been after the campaign anyway, that the Department of Justice already turned down. I didn't even mention, Alvin Bragg is not even a federal prosecutor. He's a state official. How is he charging a federal felony? I don't know. Nobody else does either.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Nobody has any idea what the hell this guy's doing. Now, having said that, the judge is a disgrace to humankind. He should have, this judge who's, I mean, everything about this judge is biased. Everything, Merchan, everything. The judge should have recused himself out of a sense of just human decency and legal dignity, the judge refuses. Why? The judge, like Arthur Engelrand, people out of New York, they just hate Donald Trump. These are not judges. We shouldn't call them judges. They don't act like judges. They are nothing more than hard partisans. Having said that, could Donald Trump get convicted on a crime that's not a crime where the statute of limitations is already up and that the DOJ has already said isn't a crime? Yeah, because it's New York.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I mean, they're trying to steal Trump Tower for a crime with no victims and no freaking fraud. So could they convict him of this too? Of course, the New York legal system is a joke. Listen to me. Get the out of New York ASAP. Get out of, I don't know how many times I got to say this. I'm telling you this as a New Yorker. I was born in New York and raised in New York.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Glendale, Queens, I love you. However, get out of New York. You live in a communist police state. At any time, you could go down next. If they can do this to a former president with billions of dollars and a massive political network, steal his buildings,
Starting point is 00:13:37 convict him of fake crimes, literally make up crimes for show. They made this up. There is no crime here. He's not even a federal prosecutor. You're next. We'll see how this case proceeds, but this is just one of a couple massive news stories
Starting point is 00:13:54 that's going to go down this week. Here's another thing. This is another, I say another thing, like there's a lot of talk this week, World War III. Listen, brothers and sisters, you know I'm going to play this straight with you. Please, with the World War III shit, I'm going to tell you why people do this. I've been in this a long time, okay?
Starting point is 00:14:18 I'm one of the original podcasters on the conservative side. The great part about podcasting is it's instant feedback. Okay. It's not airport TV like CNN where you've got to watch it because you're in an airport. You 91,200 people who are here 14 minutes in are here because you want to be. And I love you for it. But I'm telling you right now, my team knows this. I don't do clickbait bullshit. I even hesitated to give you my movie review because I don't like doing that stuff. But this movie I think is important because I'm afraid some people, especially lefties, will get a bad idea out of it. The World War III stuff is clickbait bullshit. Could World War III happen? Of course. The way they talk about it as if it's probable after this Iranian attack this weekend is ridiculous. Let me walk through this piece by
Starting point is 00:15:05 piece. First, folks, we're being played here by Joe Bryden. We are. Look at this Reuters story. Now, again, it's Reuters, so I can't trust anything they say. However, this story doesn't reflect well on Joe Bry Biden. So if someone like Reuters that are like hardcore political activists for the left are putting out a story like this, it says to me, there may be a little element of truth there. Reuters, Iran told Turkey in advance of its operation against Israel, Turkish source says. If they told Turkey, we have very specific partnerships with them, then it's been rumored the United States knew about it as well.
Starting point is 00:15:55 And that's been reported pretty openly now that the Joe Biden administration may have known that the Iranians were going to attack Israel. Really? Now, if you're out there in gen pop in the United States, living your life like anyone else, especially if you're a dumb lefty, you're out there like, no way, man. Why would they let that happen? Because you're a liberal moron. You believe the Biden administration really gives a shit about you. Let me just walk through a hypothetical. We cool with that in the chat?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Can we walk through a hypothetical about what probably happened this weekend? Iran, which is a terrorist death to America regime. How do we know they want death to America? Guy, you have any idea? Probably because they say it. That's very good. Very good. That's quite an analysis.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Because they say it. Openly. However, the Bribin administration, here's Iran's ass. Okay, so imagine an ass in front of me, right? Like, I don't know the actual shape. Envision a peach or whatever, whatever it may be. Here's the problem. He's like this.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Lips surgically attached to the ass of the mullet. Why? Because they want to counterbalance the Saudis and this ridiculous view that we don't have time to get into today. I'll get an expert on one time. We can talk about the whole thing because it's a long story. However, they kiss the ass of the death to America crowd. So they knew, play the game here for a second,
Starting point is 00:17:20 if this happened, they knew Iran was going to attack Israel and didn't say, nah I don't do that. Why? Because they want to kind of counterbalance this relationship with the Israelis. They were like, listen, Israel hit your guy in Damascus, so we're going to let you hit them back. But you're going to limit the attack to X, Y, and Z, and then we're going to go out and shoot down some of your missiles to make it look like we're in defense of Israel so that Biden can get reelected and not alienate certain people on the right while also
Starting point is 00:17:52 catering to his pro-Hamas left. No, no way they would do that. You mean the Biden team would like winky nod nod at the Iranians? Like, hey, you know, if you attack, we won't stop it, but we're just going to like send some missiles up and knock all that stuff down. And then you're going to say it's all over and it was a tit for tat so that you can save face. Nah, nah, they'd never. They would never do that.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Oh, really? Are you that stupid? You think they told the Turks by accident? Why did they tell the Turks who were partners with us in NATO? Why would they do that? Maybe because they knew the Turks would tell us so that the signal went out like, hey, we're telling you guys in advance, the United States, so you don't basically tear us apart and knock off the regime, but you let us fight back? We're all being played, man. That's why I don't get into this World War III shit.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I'm sorry. You know where I stand in the defense of Israel? I got people on my team with different views on this whole thing. We're a free speech. This is all for debate, and it's a good one. But that story is some hardcore bullshit. You're being
Starting point is 00:19:16 played, man. They told the Turks and we didn't know? Sure. Okay. Yeah. Let me take a break and get back to this because we're not doing the World War III stuff, okay? Be prepared because you want to be prepared. But these people are telling you this to scare the shit out of you
Starting point is 00:19:34 because they want you to do something. Don't trust any of them. Folks, AmericanFinancing.net.

Starting point is 00:20:27 888-994-7660 is the number. 888-994-7660. Or visit them online. It's a.net address, by the way. Americanfinancing.net. Americanfinancing.net. NMLS 12334. NMLS consumeraccess.org.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Check them out. All right. Folks, what's disturbing me even more about this feckless Biden administration that we now have a really good idea knew about this Iranian attack and did a winky nod nod because all they care about, the Biden team, is getting elected. Your safety means absolutely nothing to them. National security, they don't care at all.
Starting point is 00:21:03 The extent of their entire operation to stop this regional war from breaking out is the word don't. I'll get to that in a second. But here's what it looked like this weekend at Nevin Air Base over in Israel. Folks, listen, this could blow up any minute. And it would be nice to have competent people in charge
Starting point is 00:21:23 who know what the hell they're doing. Unfortunately, we don't. You can see this. It was an aerial attack. I mean, this is not the kind of thing you want to see on the news cycle during the week. This was all over the place. Trey Yinks also from Fox, who always finds himself in a war zone. This guy's one of the best reporters out there.
Starting point is 00:21:42 He's got balls of steel. He's over there also. He brings up an important component of this fight. Ladies and gentlemen, drone warfare is all the Iranians have right now. Clearly, they're ballistic missiles. They were dangerous, but a lot of them, according to reports, are shit. Supposedly, about half of them failed on launch. Not telling you that can't do a lot of damage. I'm just saying. The World War III crowd? The Iranians are going to start World War III.
Starting point is 00:22:11 How? Their military is, all that military in Iran is concerned with this one thing. What is it? You think they're going to invade the United States? Are you shitting me? They're concerned with regime preservation. That's all the mullahs want. That's why this attack was winky, winky, nodded, nodded
Starting point is 00:22:29 to the Bribin administration. Because they know if they F with us and the Israelis pass this red line, what that red line is, no one will tell us, that they're going to get smoked. They know it. All they care about is staying in charge. However, the drone thing is dangerous.
Starting point is 00:22:47 If they want to cause trouble, this drone warfare future is big, big trouble for us. And it's as much a tactical deficit for us as it is a financial one. I'll explain it, but listen to Trey Yinks from Fox. Talk about exactly this. Check this out. Yeah, Fox News can confirm, according to multiple sources, that drones have been launched from Iran toward Israel. It will take these drones hours to get here. And this could be just the initial phase of the Iranian attack against Israel. Israeli officials are
Starting point is 00:23:18 meeting tonight to determine what their response will be to this drone attack. There are a variety of methods the Israelis could use to shoot down these drones, including fighter jets and some of their more air defense systems that are on the perimeter of Israeli territory. Now, I'm trying to give you a balanced approach. Unlike the freaking freakadoodles on social media, one says, World War III, we're all going to die. And then the other side, that's like, oh, like the bribing side.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Oh, the Iranians are great. We should kind of deal with them. They're a trustworthy partner. Are you crazy? Are you freaking nuts? There's a balance here. And the balance is this. Yes, they have a military that can cause us trouble.
Starting point is 00:23:59 But they're not going to cause us trouble on a global scale. It's going to be on a regional scale. Because all they want to do is keep the mullahs in charge, but they have an advantage and we shouldn't bullshit people on this. And this drone thing is a real problem. Why? Because it's cheap. Because it's cheap. War is as much now a financial debacle as it is a tactical one for us with Iran. debacle as it is a tactical one for us with Iran. They can send hundreds of drones at a fraction of the cost of what it takes us to shoot these things down. Folks, I'm not going to give you exact numbers, but let's say it's a million dollars a missile to shoot one down at 100,000 a drone.
Starting point is 00:24:39 How long can you continue to do that? They can just keep pumping these things out. There's almost no ceiling. There's no asymptote. So we've got to figure this out. And I know there's technology working on it. I've got some pretty good insight on this because they've been working on it for a while. But right now, there's no easy answer for this stuff. They have a financial advantage. Now, we're dealing with an idiot in the freaking White House
Starting point is 00:25:05 who likely knew about this attack this weekend and winky-winky-nodded-nodded because he's a piece of garbage. Here he is. I was going to mess with these guys, but I don't want to. Poor Tony. I was going to be like, here's Biden getting ready to give an amazing speech in the Roosevelt room in the White House about determination and stuff. But it's none of that. Here he is leaving for the weekend to get on a helicopter to go to
Starting point is 00:25:30 Delaware while there was an attack going. I didn't check this out. Moments ago, President Biden boarded Marine One. He's cutting his weekend short and returning to Washington to meet with his national security team as the U.S. is bracing for potential Iranian strikes on Israel. We're debating if they would have fell for my little childlike stuff. He says no, but I was going to look at this incredible. And then no speech. He got he's gone. He went to the beach. The sun is nuts or something. You understand, like when I walked in this morning, Evita said to me, she's she's like, Dan, you know, we called it last week. We said, did we not say on Friday that there was going to be an attack over the weekend? And what I say to you, Vita, I go,
Starting point is 00:26:09 it's not me. I didn't predict anything. All I did was read the news. The news said, Intel community says there's going to be an attack in two days. And me being a lifetime consumer of intelligence in my last line of work, we were always reading intelligence, what did I tell you? The intelligence community never gives you anything definitive. They always say, what's the probability of attack? Eh, 50-50. Okay. Can you give me like 51-49 like so I know? They do that shit all the time. What did I tell you on Friday? I said, if the intel community is leaking to the media, there's going to be an attack in two days, then what does that mean? It means exactly what we found out today,
Starting point is 00:26:52 that the Biden team knew. Wow, amazing. No, it's not amazing. I would love, oh, look at me. Do I got sources? I just read the freaking headline. They said there was going to be an attack in two days. Biden knew.
Starting point is 00:27:13 And he's sunning his balls in Delaware. He knew. And he still got on that thing. You got telegraph here. The world stands on the brink of all-out war. These are all lefties, by the way. World War, here it is. And where's Biden?
Starting point is 00:27:32 His sock out on a beach in Delaware. That was like testicular sunning. How is it that Dan Bongino, radio personality and podcast guy. Think about this. I'm not selling myself short and trying to be like faux humble at all. I'm being serious. How is it that Friday we on this show knew there was going to be an attack because we just read the news.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And Biden, the commander in chief, is sunning his nuts in Delaware. Is that? Yeah, you know what? That's a good point. I'm actually being very harsh. He said before he left, he said, don't. And that should have been enough. He said, though, you're right. You're right.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I'm sorry. It was a sign of bold leadership. Definitely. That's why he wouldn't send his nuts. His testosterone was high from don't. He's like, let me build. You got to, they say like testicular sunning or something. Help your testosterone.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Maybe that's what he's doing. How did we know? And he didn't. Oh, you guys are so good. No, we're not. We just like actually read the news. Oh my gosh. We'll show you the don't. I'm going to take a quick break. I'm going to show you the extent of Biden's leadership. Guy's correct. This is where he really laid it down. This was like
Starting point is 00:28:54 Douglas MacArthur, like patent type leadership here. What a freaking bozo. What a clown. Don't. This is the best this guy can do. He needs to send out a tweet. Remember that tweet or truth social, whatever Donald Trump sent out at the time? If you guys respond, we'll basically kick your freaking ass. Our button's bigger than yours. Can someone just send one of those out so we don't get killed? Just give it a shot. Just ask Donald Trump for tweet advice on that one.
Starting point is 00:29:22 He was better at it. I'll show you the don't hilarity. Tragicular, because this guy's going to get someone hurt. Coming up in a second. Last break. Really appreciate your patience. Hey, fast-growing trees. I've used them twice now.

Starting point is 00:32:03 son is sack in Delaware when he knew clearly there was going to be an attack because he doesn't care. Biden's foreign policy consists of this. You're on Apple and Spotify. Like, why the silence? The answer is because I have the double barrel middle finger up because that's exactly what he did. Hat tip maze more. We love the videos.
Starting point is 00:32:19 He I don't know if it's a he or she, but hat tip maze more great videos on Twitter. I don't know if it's a he or she, but hat to Maize Moore. Great videos on Twitter. Here is the Biden compilation of foreign policy with Biden officials, which consists of one word for the clown show, which is don't. They have a very limited vocabulary, apparently. Check this out. And I wonder, Mr. President, what you would say to him if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons. Don't. Don weapons. Don't. Don't. Don't.
Starting point is 00:32:54 And I wonder what is your message to Hezbollah and its backer, Iran? Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Folks, we have a freaking bozo in the White House. This guy is a bozo. And that's like offensive to Bozo the Clown, who was an actual capitalist and developed the business model.
Starting point is 00:33:12 This guy is a moron. So I played that 60 Minutes clip again, for a reason. Because both of the people Biden says don't to, while he's probably taking a dump in his adult diaper, both of them laughed and did it anyway. Putin, don't invade Ukraine. Don't. He's like, yeah, sure. Don't use tactical. That'll be next, by the way. Nobody gives a shit what this guy says. Then he tells the Iranians, don't. What do they do? They do it anyway. Not only they do it,
Starting point is 00:33:45 they tell them they're going to do it through the Turks, obviously. He lets it happen and then goes to Delaware again, sun in his sack in Delaware, while the Telegraph at least is reporting World War III is going to break out. So in case you think this is a one-time thing And some of his advisors went to him and said, Hey, um, mush brains, this don't shit isn't working. Everyone you say don't do does don't does like their opposites. Okay. So maybe we should try something different. Here is one of his last little public commentaries before the Iranians who were told don't decided to attack Israel, not do their proxies for the first time ever, an actual state-sponsored attack against Israel.
Starting point is 00:34:28 You can see how much they listened to him. Here's one of his last Q&As before they did it. Check this out. Mr. President, what is your message to Iran in this moment? Don't. Our American personnel laugh at that risk, Mr. President. Mr. President, our American... I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:34:47 It's not. You believe this shit? We went from Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall. Is it Trump like telling Kim Jong-un our nuclear button's bigger? To this clown show. nuclear buttons bigger, to this clown show. This senile, diaper-wearing, kid-sniffing, woman-feeling, plagiarizing, bribe-taking, CCP-wheeling-dealing loser. Folks, I hope the telegraph is wrong, and I think the chances, thankfully, although not zero, of a global war,
Starting point is 00:35:34 meaning most major countries are involved in a global tactical war, kinetic, whatever buzzword you want to use, I think are, thank God, thank you, and I don't use his name in vain, thankfully are very low. But they're not non-existent and they're more existent every day. This idiot opens his mouth. You know, I referenced that Robert Green book, the rules of power all the time. And one of the things in his book is you really shouldn't talk a lot. People with power don't really need to say a lot. And one of the reasons folks you listen in and Joe Biden, please listen. I know you don't like me. I don't like you. I don't like you feeling kids and sniffing
Starting point is 00:36:08 them. It's gross, but I don't want to die in a nuclear war like every well, I don't want to do that because it's bad burns. It's hot. You're probably not going to survive it. Radiation poisoning. It's a shitty way to go out. I don't want to go all book of Eli and stuff like that. Read that book because one of the premises he makes, and again, I'm sorry, a little bit of a language alert here. So you may turn it down for your kids and say, but there's a, the rule here is shut the fuck up. Why? Because when you talk a lot, the chances of you saying dumb shit are really higher. The more words that leave your mouth, read the book, Joe, because he needs to shut up and stop talking.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Read the book, Joe, because he needs to shut up and stop talking. By the way, here's the U.N. involved. Thank God, folks, the U.N. Guys, the U.N.'s involved. He's like, it's good now. It's all good. The U.N.'s involved. So the U.N., yes, everybody's clapping. Yeah, finally, the United Nations, the blue hats are here, folks.
Starting point is 00:37:01 They're here. The U.N. says they're calling for a ceasefire against Iran. That worked really well. You guys are really knocking it out of the park. Send a bunch of drones and missiles. They don't even know what happened yet. And the UN's like, are we going to ceasefire? Everything with them is a ceasefire after a bunch of Jews get killed.
Starting point is 00:37:22 And do you notice that? It's like, kill the Jews first, and then we'll call for a ceasefire. That's it. Believe me, if 1,000 people, God forbid, would have died in this missile drone attack, luckily, there were very few fatalities, injuries. I promise you the same statement would have went out. Oh, we need a ceasefire. We need to cease the hostility.
Starting point is 00:37:41 They even used the words. They're calling for an immediate cessation of the hostilities. I've got an idea. I need it. But, you know, you're in there. I know you're in there. I saw you in the chat today. You've got to get your poll stats ready.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Folks, if I get a single yes on this, I'm going to be very upset. I may have to ban you just for sure insanity. Do you think we should remain in the United Nations or just leave this broken, pathetic, disgusting operation? Or I should say, yeah, I got to run backwards. Yes, we should leave. No, we should stay. I got to tell you, my vote is yes. Get the hell out of this shit organization.
Starting point is 00:38:22 They do nothing. It is a total waste of time. It is a total disaster. I worked a lot of these UNGAs, UN General Assemblies, as an agent. You want me to tell you something? Yes, thank you. Out.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Get out. Leave it. How are the people who don't think we should leave it? Are you on the wrong show? This thing is a freaking, we're going to break the chat on this. It's a, we did. Chris, we broke the chat again. Only the Bongino show does that,
Starting point is 00:38:47 by the way, because we have power. We have freaking power. I did a lot of ungas, UN General Assemblies doing protection work. You want me to let you know a little secret, folks? The UN General Assembly is total bullshit. You know why a lot of these foreign leaders come here? Because they want to party in New York. No, no, they're here to conduct international diplomacy and make the world a better place like Holly Hobby. You guys are funny. That's exactly what they're here for. You're right. They're here to make the world a better place. Why are we doing this? Kick them out.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Sell the property. Confiscate it. And give it to somebody. You know what? Make it a homeless shelter or something. Get rid of it. It's a total waste of time. They're calling for the cessation of hostilities.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Yeah, sure. You guys are doing a great job. You guys really knocked it out of the park. Who wrote that statement? Putin? Who wrote that statement? Putin? Who wrote it? Kim Jong-un? Folks, here's John Kirby, by the way. John Kirby, regime propagandist. Remember, you know, the Iranians who, again, apparently told us this weekend while Biden's nut over in Delaware, they were going to attack Israel and Biden went and did it anyway. Remember when we gave the Iranians all this money and they were like, no, we didn't give
Starting point is 00:40:07 them money. It was their money. Yeah, it may have been their money, but we had it. So why we're giving them their money while they're saying death to America instead of taking it and using it to pay off the families of terrorists killed by the Iranians. Only a dipshit would do. We don't give criminals. let me just give you a quick example of this, okay? When you're doing counterfeit cases in the Secret Service, right, and people, they print counterfeit money and go and buy a Corvette, you don't give the Corvette back to the guy because you feel bad. You don't really give a shit if it's like, oh, but they bought it. It wasn't Iranian money. We had it. So we gave them a bunch of money, which they're now
Starting point is 00:40:45 probably using to kill us and start some regional war over the Middle East. Remember this? Here's John Kirby telling us where the money was going to go. Oh, don't worry. They had their eyeball on every dollar. Oh, yeah, sure. Check this out. The U.S. will have visibility and will be able to engage in oversight about where the money was going and for what purpose. If Iran tries to divert the funds, we'll take action and we'll lock them up again. And there will be sufficient oversight to make sure that the request is valid and that it's going through vendors who we and the Qataris can trust will actually contract for the goods, the medical equipment, the food, whatever it is. The regime doesn't get to touch the money, Peter.
Starting point is 00:41:27 It doesn't go to them. They don't get to decide ultimate destination, and they have no direct access to it. John, Iran made two transactions withdrawing from the previously frozen funds in Oman. What were those transactions for? I don't have the details on that, Jackie. You're going to have to let me get back to you on that. That's amazing. You see the look?
Starting point is 00:41:57 Oh, shit. I don't know. We gave billions of dollars to a bunch of death to American people. Fuck, what happened? I don't know. Like he just mistakenly gave an allowance to Tony instead of death to American people. Fuck, what happened? I don't know. Like he just mistakenly gave an allowance to Tony instead of Bobby for $5 to go buy a packet like bazooka gum with inflation.
Starting point is 00:42:13 That's how they treat us. Here's one more before I get to the FBI thing. I bet you're probably wondering, like the FBI thing, is it ever going to get there? Yes, that's a huge story too. I told you it was a huge news week and why I didn't burn a lot of time on my weekend update there.
Starting point is 00:42:27 However, I want you to watch one. This is a short one. This is Biden's national security advisor. Just a couple of months, weeks before the October 7th thing, the October 7th terror attack, here's Jake Sullivan, pee-pee tape hoaxer, spygate colluder, another disgrace to humankind, a guy who looks like he was beat up way too much in high school
Starting point is 00:42:49 and is taking it out on you all now. Here he is about how the Middle East, ah, man, everything's cool, don't you sweat it, everything's A-OK, watch this. What we said is we want to depressurize, de-escalate, and ultimately integrate the Middle East region. The war in Yemen is in its 19 month of truce. For now, the Iranian attacks against U.S. forces have stopped. Our presence
Starting point is 00:43:12 in Iraq is stable. I emphasize for now because all of that can change. And the Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades. It's so quiet. It's only a regional war breaking out, drones, ballistic missile attacks, terror attacks, dead Israelis, war in Gaza. You called it, Jake Sullivan. By the way, can you guys put up just a quick picture? Can I just get off the topic for one second? Because I just was distracted by this with this guy. This isn't the lifestyle health show today.
Starting point is 00:43:47 But look at this guy's shoulder to head proportion, right? Isn't it weird? Folks, you want a quick tip? You want to look good at the beach. If you had one thing, one thing to do, if you said, Dan, I've got 15 minutes a week, I don't have time to work out like the Thor cat for the movie, but I just want to look a little better. The head, the head to shoulder proportion is key. When your head looks like six basketballs and your shoulders are like, like this pen here, right here,
Starting point is 00:44:22 like this, you will look like a dork. Okay. This guy, look at this guy's head. It's almost as wide as his shoulders. like this pen here, right here, like this, you will look like a dork, okay? This guy, look at this guy's head. It's almost as wide as his shoulders. So here's what you got to do. Take some dumbbells, if you have 10 minutes a week, and make, do your side laterals,
Starting point is 00:44:35 and give your shoulders some depth, and you won't look like this dork right here. Look, it is shit posture too, but listen, I don't have the best best posture and i certainly don't have a small melon either but i look at this dork the folks do not look like this this is a class study in how not to look if you don't want to look like a dork you got to broaden your shoulders he's looking through the show elements like is that was is that in somewhere no i i seriously just got distracted because i'm like look at this dork the middle east is great no problem bro go lift the weight sun your nuts like biden did in delaware street maybe you'll grow some testosterone
Starting point is 00:45:21 and you'll figure it out and maybe you won't give dumb speeches like, hey, the Middle East is calmer than it's ever been. Just like a little bit before a massive terror attack that lights the world on fire. Just an idea. Just an idea. Okay. I didn't forget the FBI story. Folks, they're doing it again, man. They're doing it again. They are just when you think, you know, I love when people say to me me, someone said to me, I was at a restaurant, I don't know, about a month ago, who knows, who cares, doesn't really matter. But the guy came up to me and he's like, you know, the only good part about this whole election denier bullshit that they accuse us of, oh, you conservatives are election deniers,
Starting point is 00:45:59 is that they won't be able to question an election again if we win. I was like, dude, that is so funny. I'm like, you're joking, right? And the guy was dead serious. Wait, you think the Democrats have principles? Like the Democrats are now going to say, hey, guys, technically we accused the Republicans of denying elections because they disagreed with an election result.
Starting point is 00:46:25 So we can't do that in the future. Does anyone in the chat think that conversation is actually happening? Okay, good. I don't even, but Gino, the answer is no. That is not, they don't care. If Donald Trump wins the election, I promise you, November 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th, every single day, there'll be accusations that we stole the election with Putin.
Starting point is 00:46:48 They don't give a shit at all. They have no human dignity whatsoever. I bring that up because I got an email, and this is a while ago, where somebody was like, well, the best part of exposing the Russia collusion hoax is at least they won't try it again. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:47:07 dude, do you even listen to my show? We're not arguing with the left. They're crazy. They will deny the election if they lose. And they're using the Russia thing right now. We're not arguing with them. We're arguing for the third party listening. That's it. The left has no principles at all. At least they won't spy on Donald Trump again. We're calling it out. Really? Here, let me play this one first. Here's Jasmine Crockett, one of the craziest members of Congress. She did quite well in our dopiest members of Congress thing. She made the bracket at least, but she's new. She's still developing her dopey reputation. Here they go. They're already setting up the Russian narrative again. You're like, no way. The same one? Oh yeah, the same one. Here, watch.
Starting point is 00:47:55 As we know, the Republican Party is run by Russians at this point in time. So let's say some Russian decides to communicate with a member here in DC. What FISA does is it's surveilling what the Russian is doing. Wait, you thought because we exposed them last time that they wouldn't just rip the same bag of tricks out again the second time? What are you, crazy? Well, at least the FBI won't spy on Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Oh, really? You don't think this New York Times piece that came out this weekend is not laying the groundwork already? If they shouldn't even strike that. Here we go. Strike. I'm very sorry.
Starting point is 00:48:39 I shouldn't have said that. Forget laying the groundwork. I have no doubt they're already spying on Donald Trump, not laying the groundwork. Look at this New York Times piece. First, what do we typically look at first when I bust these pieces out? Anyone know? Chatsters, Anita, Hoff, some of you like diehards. I always go to the author first. Why? Because just by seeing who the author is, I can tell you if it's an intelligence leak and a deep state leak or not. Charlie Savage, instantly, you should be thinking to yourself, Natasha Bertrand, which is Adam Goldman, Charlie Savage, Ken Delaney. And the first thing you should be thinking is some anti-Trump deep stater is putting this out for a reason.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Here's the New York Times piece. You need to read this. I hate to ask you to read a New York Times article, but it's important because I have no doubt they're already spying on Donald Trump. The campaign, talking about the Trump campaign, campaign puts Trump and the spy agencies on a collision course. Wait, keep this up. You get the narrative already they're setting? These spy agencies, these golden knights, man, out there saving the country. Evil Donald Trump is crushing these people and we got to stop it.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Why would they be writing that? Maybe as a predicate to spy on him? Read this. But while the professed ethos in the intelligence community is to behave as nonpartisan professionals, the prospect of a return by Mr. Trump
Starting point is 00:50:16 has generated a palpable shudder in the ranks. Palpable. Palpable. Some senior intelligence officials, folks folks are considering leaving or retiring early yes yes that is awesome now wait don't go some senior intelligence officials are considering leaving or retiring early should mr trump be re-elected and appoint a close ally ally to lead the cia said former officials. This is sound like this is
Starting point is 00:50:47 a bad thing. So just to be clear, if you're reading Charlie Savage. Here I am in the intelligence community. Evil Donald Trump is coming after these heroic patriots who are nonpartisan professionals. You're like, that's not Charlie Savage. It doesn't matter. Frank Fugazi and Charlie Savage, it's the same shit. They might as well write the same freaking story. These heroes who've never targeted Donald Trump before,
Starting point is 00:51:26 never, not through Spygate, Russian collusion. 51 of these idiots didn't write a letter saying that Hunter's laptop had some kind of Russian connection. These peaceful partisans are under threat from the evil Donald Trump. And I love the folks. Did you see the threat in the second paragraph? And a lot of these professionals, folks, nonpartisans, you read the second paragraph, Gide, you see this? They're thinking about leaving early. That would be terrible. Please don't leave. What would we do without you? Leaking to Charlie Savage of the New York Times. What would we do without you? One more screenshot. This is a gem.
Starting point is 00:52:09 I love this piece. It's so epic for all the wrong reasons. Here's screenshot number two. Seeking to discredit what has become a special counsel inquiry. What became a special counsel inquiry? Mr. Trump and his allies floated conspiracy theories that misconduct by intelligence agencies lurked in the origins of the Russia investigation. Conspiracy theories? Charlie, are you on freaking mushrooms?
Starting point is 00:52:38 When you wrote this, were you high? Conspiracy theories. Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, who, by the way, did a shit job and isn't even a friend to Donald Trump, literally did an investigation pointing out, quote, multiple instances in which factual assertions relied on by the foreign intelligence surveillance courts and the FISA applications were inaccurate. It's right there, bro. Chuck, Charlie, Chuckster, you could have read that shit. It's right there. I put it in your favorite left-wing search engine, Google, and this article came up in a magic microsecond. It's incredible. You could have read this yourself.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Conspiracy theories. You think the media, the intelligence community, you think they're going to have some mass awakening? That they're not just going to make up another Russia collusion story to spy on Donald Trump? Now, why would I say I think they're doing it right now? Ladies and gentlemen, I always bring the receipts in the show every time. I want you to listen to this interaction between Elise Stefanik, who politicians are tools. You got it. We don't kiss their asses. But when they're a useful tool, goes on the show.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Elise Stefanik here is a big plus one. She asks all the right questions to Christopher Wray about this election right now. Like, hey, man, are you guys doing a counterintelligence investigation against Donald Trump? I want you to listen to the shadiest FBI director in American history
Starting point is 00:54:19 do one of the worst dodgeball acts I've ever seen in my life. And you tell me if the FBI is spying on Donald Trump. In front of this very committee in an open session, your predecessor, Jim Comey, testified that he did not follow the proper protocol regarding the notification of Congress of the opening of the crossfire hurricane. That will be the counterintelligence investigation into President Trump in 2016. the counterintelligence investigation into President Trump in 2016. To address this illegal abuse of power by the FBI, this committee included direction to the FBI in the IAA requiring notification to congressional leadership
Starting point is 00:54:53 of any counterintel investigation into a federal candidate for office. Is there any counterintelligence investigation into either Joe Biden or Donald Trump? investigation into either Joe Biden or Donald Trump? I would just say I'll refer you to the special counsel has- It's not a question about the special counsel, that's a requirement in the IAA of the FBI. Is there a counterintelligence investigation into either Joe Biden or Donald Trump? There's no investigation that I could confirm here, no. Is there a counterintelligence investigation?
Starting point is 00:55:26 Again, I'm not confirming any investigation into either candidate. Are you aware that you're required by the IAA to notify Congress of any counterintelligence investigation? And we will comply with the law. Have you already complied with the law? Has there been a notification? I believe we have been in compliance with the law. Let that settle in a second. Number one, again, we don't put cowboy hats on politicians, but Elise Stefanik has become exceptionally good at this.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Other votes I got some beef with, but she's become exceptionally good at asking the right questions. I want you to notice a couple things about what she did there that other members of Congress, you could take a lesson from. She does not filibuster. She asks close ended questions and doesn't bluster on like some of these other idiots do because they just want to get on TV, making a statement. She lets Christopher Wray dig his own grave there. And she never, ever lets the question go. Every time Wray answers, she responds with a simple sentence back,
Starting point is 00:56:37 forcing him into a binary, did you or did you not? She doesn't give him any out, oh, explain why, tell us what this means, none of that shit. And what did Christopher Wray do, which leads me to believe with near certainty they are already spying on Donald Trump right now? He never answers the question. I believe, I think we've complied, we will comply. I can't report that here. How hard would it be to say we are not actively spying on
Starting point is 00:57:08 or engaged in a counterintelligence investigation against Donald Trump, even though they're required by law to notify them? How hard would that be to say? The answer is it's not. It's easy. And he won't say it. Does anyone in any of the crew, the team, do any of you know why Christopher Wray didn't want to say yes or no?
Starting point is 00:57:32 Jim, do you know? Yes, because he didn't want to. You won't overthink it. Why did he not want to he didn't want to because the answer yes is probably yes of course they the chatsters yeah you guys are freaking smart man i love you chatsters of course you got it i never mess the answer is always the same. If I'm asking you why, because I believe so thoroughly in Occam's razor, keep it simple, stupid. Why isn't Christopher Wray answering if they're spying on Donald Trump? Because he doesn't want to.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Why he doesn't want to, you all can stew on until tomorrow's show. I'll talk about a little more in the radio show too later. Great audience today.
