Starting point is 00:00:02 All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. So the president's had enough of Iran's bullshit in case you missed it. You know, again, I just asked his, his like bipolar opponents, the president's at it. It's like, just pick a position, okay? I support what he's doing in Iran. I'm not a big global interventionist. I think you know that from my time running for office.
Starting point is 00:00:32 from the library material. You can do your own homework and read all you want. Ask audience archivist, Judy. However, in this case, where we have an opportunity to get out ahead of a country that would clearly use a nuclear weapon against us, the first moment they get one or get on that track or even get close or can acquire or buy one, then we should take it. However, his bipolar opponents can't pick a position.
Starting point is 00:00:59 When he debates and negotiates and goes back and forth with them, him an opportunity, they accuse him of chickening out. And then when he does something, when they bail out of the deal, on the MOU, they criticized, they're like, this guy's a war monger. I can't believe it. I've said this over and over. Just pick a coherent, logical, reasonable position and stick to it. We can disagree. I'd respect you more, though. It's like arguing with someone who's holding an orange about the apple. It's not an apple. It's a freaking orange. No matter how many times I try to tell you the characteristics of an apple, you're telling me, this is an apple, it's a freaking orange. Folks, I told you, man, listen, I'm a happy warrior in this. I have been
Starting point is 00:01:42 for a long time. The same characteristics, the lib progressive socialist communists are displaying right now a total lack of reason in a North Star are the exact same characteristics on the traitors on the right trying to destroy our movement. It's the same thing. The total absence of logic and reason, the throwing out there of debunk discredited lies with no evidence and then when you get called out just moving on to the next thing like nothing happened. Hey, did you know, by the way, Justin that we're terrified. Me, I'm terrified. Justin's getting me help folks. He's getting me help. Tucker says we're terrified. I'm terrified of the bow tie wearing guy. The other guy, where's the bow tie got owned by john stewart john stewart imagine losing a debate to john stewart in your own
Starting point is 00:02:37 show look that up we're terrified folks justin we're in hiding in our studio on a show with just three minutes in in 15 000 people wide we're andy we're in hiding all of us he's got a snuggy on with like the hood over his head or all in hiding just clearly terrified don't be nervous remember that that's an side joke. Some of you know what that is. All right, I got a lot to talk about today. I promise I'm not going to waste a ton of time on a fucker Carlson. I mean, Tucker Carl, I'm not going to waste a ton of time on him. But I'm just going to show you again why our movement is strong, it's flourishing. And there's an organized movement to try and destroy me and my show that is failing so miserably that the extinction burst has now begun as they realize that we've crushed them all
Starting point is 00:03:26 yet again, just like everyone else has tried to take us on and lost brutally. Hey, we would be celebrating America 250 if it wasn't for a strong foundation set by the framers. Hamilton built America's financial foundation on the principle of sound, stable money. It's super important. Money's like a measuring stack, right? You don't want it changing all the time. You don't know what you're measuring. A principle later embodied by the gold standard.
Starting point is 00:03:48 What is the foundation of your savings? Is it gold or something that can be shaken, disrupted, or devalued? Birch Gold Group, the company I buy gold from and have many times, has been helping Americans solidify their savings with gold for the past 15. years to help you convert an existing IRA of 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in gold. Learn how gold fits into your portfolio by texting my name, Dan, to the number 98, 9-8-9-8. You'll receive a free, no-obligation info kit with an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and countless five-store reviews.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Let Birch Gold help build your foundation with gold, BIRC-H. Text my name, Dan, to the number 9-8-9-9-8-9-9-8. Again, text Dan to 9-8-9-9-8 to learn more message and data rates. may apply. All right, fellas, let's go. So one thing I will say is we'll go to war all the time every time we have. I was just telling Jasmine this morning, Guy and Justin remember our war with the cat lady, which was a war of attrition that we won in spectacular fashion. And I remember people like, oh my gosh, how long is this going to go on? Long enough until we win because we just don't stop. Because the thing is when you're telling people the truth, eventually people get tired of being
Starting point is 00:05:01 lied to by your opponents. So I'll get to that in a second. I want to put this up first, because this is the most important story of the day. President Trump has resumed destroying the Iranian IRGC and Mullah Death to America leadership because they're finding out that when you eff around with this president, he's not kidding. He'll give you an opportunity. He's a businessman. He's a negotiator.
Starting point is 00:05:22 He's not interested in unnecessary foreign wars at all. This, however, is necessary. He's given him a shot. They keep dicking around. and now they're finding out yet again. So this happened. Here's President Trump's answer to a question. Hey, is this ceasefire at least effectively over for now?
Starting point is 00:05:39 Here's his response. Check this out. To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum is? They're scum. They're sick people.
Starting point is 00:05:49 They're led by sick people. And they're vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people. Steve Whitkoff, Jared Kush.
Starting point is 00:06:05 But they have to come back to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars. We make a deal. If I make a deal with him, we have a deal on there. It goes out. He talks. We make a deal.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Everyone's agreed. No nuclear weapon. We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press. They say, we never even talked about it. There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. As far as I'm concerned,
Starting point is 00:06:30 it's over. He gave him a shot. And again, listen, I've said this repeatedly. And I think it's really important you understand that. To those of you out there who have an informed, reasonable opinion on Iran, and you're like, hey, I just don't think this is a huge threat. I disagree with you based on what I've seen and what I know. But I get it. You're allowed to have that opinion. Of course, it's a republic. That's fine. But all I ask is that. for the opponents of everything he does, again, just stake out a position because it's hard to debate with someone who's debating themselves. Trump chickened out.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Trump's a warmonger. Which one is it? Which one is it? You can't have it both ways. That's not a debate. That's not a debate at all. Well, it is debate. You with yourself.
Starting point is 00:07:19 All right. So, of course, I wake up this morning, and I've been texting this loser all morning. So, fucker Tarleson, again, with this guy's bow tie wearing bullshit. I guess when you're like a NEPO baby who's never had a real job in his entire life, knows nothing about law enforcement. You know, claims have all these contacts in the government that I guess have abandoned them to. I mean, it's weird how he keeps throwing all these allegations out there while claiming to be connected to vice president and everything else.
Starting point is 00:07:48 And how just call them. Just make up, just get the, get with all these questions you claim. They're not really questions. He does this thing, Candace does a lot too, where they throw these things out. there into the ether and then they get completely debunked and discredited by actual evidence and then they just move on like nothing happened the only reason i'm bringing us up this morning is is this guy okay because yet again he keeps claiming to have this series of texts where i told him president trump shut down the investigation into his own attempted murder of course on its face something
Starting point is 00:08:25 not even logical or reasonable and he's brought this up again on his social media channel when I've given him permission and I will do it again here publicly everybody ready you can write it down you have permission Tucker to put out these texts that you claim to have which is funny because I was texting him this morning and he sent me one which is hilarious because it says the exact opposite matter of fact put that up here's the text he claimed to have this is a good one this is me texting him this is months ago I can call you some time to explain the lack of a public press conference on the case, which I did call him and explain to him that none of the leads had materialized into any other co-conspirators in the case. That's what happened on the call. I promise on my integrity
Starting point is 00:09:07 that it's nothing sinister. I thought that text was supposed to say that I president told me to shut down the event. This is him sending me this. This is his evidence. An evidence that I called him, explained to him, that there had nothing to do with anything sinister at all. This is his evidence. How many times are you going to fall for this guy's bullshit? The guy's a fraud. Now I get a lot of his bot on because they're all bots. Like sane people abandoned this guy a long time ago. So was it yesterday or something?
Starting point is 00:09:38 He puts out this social media clap or something. I popped up this morning. And he says, we've been destroyed and we're terrified. We've been destroyed because he's got this evidence he won't release, despite me begging him to release it. And I've already shown you the text that say the opposite, including that one. He claims that and he won't do it.
Starting point is 00:09:55 So now he knows he's boxed into a corner. He knows he looks like an idiot in front of everyone. Everyone's making fun of him. He looks like a total tool. He should put his bow tie back on. And what does he do? He claims that we've been totally destroyed. You know what?
Starting point is 00:10:10 Before we put up the evidence that he keeps claiming he has, all right? I want to just show you the clips. You know, put that up first. Put up the video of him claiming that he has these texts telling him clearly that the president told me to shut down the Butler investigation, which is folks totally completely fabricated and made up. It's a Teddy Ruxpin fairy tale. Put a coin in the back of Teddy Ruxpin Tucker and he'll tell you a story. It's totally made up. He'll never show you these texts because they don't exist. He made it up for clout off my name and now he's getting burned. Here's a video of him showing
Starting point is 00:10:44 saying clearly, clearly, texts, quote, which I still have. Okay, let's see him. And ultimately, after a long series of text exchanges, which I still have, which I still have, which I still have, and phone conversations. Yeah, phone conversation, I told him the exact opposite. Notice how now he's shifting to the phone conversation, despite claiming he has these texts. And when I asked him this morning to produce this text, I said, hey, man, I'm happy to debate. Let's see the text. Let's see the text.
Starting point is 00:11:17 He completely ignores my question and sends me back the exact opposite. So I sent him back a text telling him he's like the dumbest fucking podcastistan. He really has to be to send me a text that says the exact opposite of what he's claiming. Do you guys, the limited number of groupies he has left outside of Qatar and elsewhere, do you ever hold this guy to account? They keep coming after this show and keep losing. And did you notice their claims get more hysterical? Next thing is I'm going to have been born of two Martians.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And like David McCovney and Gillian Anderson have evidence with the cigarette guy that I of alien genes or something. Folks, how do you follow these idiots? Here's the problem they're having. We produced a record year, crime, homicides, reforms. The whole FBI was reorganized. 10% of the workforce we got rid of or left because they didn't like the changes we were making.
Starting point is 00:12:08 We produced the Comey case, the Bolton case. We produced the Newsom case. We produced entire squads that were involved in corruption being dismantled and disbanded. We produced record number of counter-terror, counterintelligence investigations. Most wanted people apprehended.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Public corruption cases. They can't, because they never did anything, they can't look themselves in the mirror and say like, well, you know, I did that because they didn't. They didn't want to. What do they have? They have defamation cases, sexual misconduct allegations, some of them, some of my opponents.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Chris Cuomo, watching this loser, totally crash out. Epstein. Then I send them a bunch of text back. He gets completely embarrassed because people at the White House staff's highest level are on the record saying, yeah, Dan thought this was a pretty serious thing. I told him, he busted our asses. It's on record. He can't accept. So what does he do? He crashes out again. Here's Chris Cuomo. I have the best enemies, and by best, I mean the worst. Here's the guy crashing out of me, bringing up the Epstein case.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Throw this up. Do you may imagine what it takes for this headline to break? CNN, Chris Cuomo. This is from Brian Stelter, no less. CNN fires Chris Quo. How the hell do you get fired from CNN? How does that even happen? What do you have to do to get fired from CNN? Here's another one. He's bringing up Epstein. Notice I have the best enemies folks.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Put up the New York Times headline. This one speaks for itself. You can look up the article, folks. Guy is the right to defend himself. Chris Cuomo sexually harassed me. I hope he'll use his power to make change. Okay. This is Chris's tweet.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Help me get my interview. Okay, Bonjino said, after he did you dirty. Meanwhile, everyone's on the record. say in the opposite. And he just got humiliated and embarrassed. Him and his buddy. This is what these guys do. They clout chase off your name all the time. And I sent you, I showed you guys on Twitter, the text of Chris's producer like, please come on and me ignoring. Chris would love to have you on. Here's all this stuff I sent back to him. You can read on Twitter yourself. Folks, again, I have the best enemies, meaning the worst. So let me address
Starting point is 00:14:19 one more thing before I move on to some actually important stuff. So Tucker's new claim is we been totally destroyed and running around terrified. Running around terrified. I'm sitting here in my studios. People all the way around are outside looking at the cars pass by. It's a beautiful day. We got the whole crew in here. No one's sitting here and snuggies wrapped over in a guy. He's not sitting there in a ninja suit with barely his eyes. Who is that? I don't know. He did a ninja suit. That's a pretty bold claim, right? That we're sitting here terrified and that my show has been destroyed. So what I found interesting is Tucker Carlson, despite having a primetime show on the world's most powerful news network for a really long time and a huge marketing
Starting point is 00:14:59 vehicle, right, and a bunch of money put into a show and being a Nipo baby with a rich poppy and everything else. My father was a plumber. My mother worked in a supermarket at Mertile Avenue and 64th place, okay? I didn't have, though, I'm not a Nipo baby like you with your rich dad. He had all this stuff behind him. He's also on a platform, Screw Tube, that our video, show is not on the audioism. There's no video. It's a video show. Our video is exclusive to Rumble. He's on a platform with, gosh, a thousand times more monthly active users than Rumble with just a bigger platform. And yet he says we're destroyed. So it's interesting. The show he did where he talked about me because he's obsessed with me. He's obsessed. It's like boiling bunny
Starting point is 00:15:42 stuff, fucker, Tarleton. The show he did about me, what's happening? It's got how many views? Like my eyes aren't good. 693,000 views. Six days going, well, all right, not bad. Tucker has an audience that are, how many are bots and forests? I don't know, but there's clearly people watching. So we're destroyed, right, fellas? We're destroyed. So I did a show responding about Nipo Baby Tucker,
Starting point is 00:16:05 and it had 1.21 million views. I guess we're destroyed. We're all destroyed. Of course, they'll come up with another excuse to just change the benchmarks, but Spotify. Our videos are on On Spotify. Dipschits. And despite not having a video on Spotify, just an audio show for a video program, we're still a top 25 news podcast on Spotify.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I just wonder when you're ever going to produce a series of facts or text to back up anything you say. Anything. I don't know. It's over. I'm sorry, guys. You're going to have to find a new job. Andy's like, I've been here six months. I'm enjoying this job.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Let's happen. We're all terrified, running scared. Andy's terrified. Josh is hiding in the other room. He's like, I don't know what to do, man. Hide me in the court. He's got camouflage on. It's not working.
Starting point is 00:16:59 The walls are white. You're sticking right out. So juvenile and stupid. But listen, like the wars with the cat lady, folks, I'm going to tell you some. If you ever get in this business, get ready. People are very jealous and envious. They are. I'm sorry to tell you.
Starting point is 00:17:17 There are very few good people in this business. There are some. But I'm warning you now. If your show starts to grow, people get very envious. they see it as zero sum. They will do anything they can to lie, cheat, and steal to make sure that they can try to to destroy you. You're like, our own people?
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yes. Ask anyone in this business. They're pissed off that I came back after a huge year of reforms and huge results. You can look up yourself. And what do they do? They rage out and crash out. They bring in their little buddies like Cuomo and others. Remember a Q-Tip guy?
Starting point is 00:17:55 You know what you can do with that? Q-tip, you know where to stick that, Chris? That's what they do. I have the best enemies, and by the best, I mean the worst. We're not going anywhere, man. They're not even 20 minutes at this show. There's 42,000, 4,000, 800 people here.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Doesn't that bother you? We've already got a stadium full of people watching the show at 1019 on, what is it, a Wednesday in the middle of summer right after 4th of July. Doesn't that bother you that all of your, the show's not even 20 minutes in yet? All right, I got to move on because there are no different than these lefty frauds who are trying to destroy the country and they will do anything to destroy you both of those groups of people the dumer grifter traders and the liberal socialist commies
Starting point is 00:18:40 they will do anything to destroy you they have no integrity at all i'll show you what i mean coming up in a second let me just uh take a quick break here folks it feels like our country finally has momentum again so many of us are fighting to restore america first and common sense yes but we've seen this before conservatives get comfortable the left starts their war against us taking back ground inch by inch we can let that happen, not again.

Starting point is 00:21:04 Check them out. So here's what I mean. The Graham Platner story, you've probably been saturated on it. But the point about the Graham Platner, Democrat, communist Nazi tattoo guy up in Maine is a bigger story than just a shitty candidate up in Maine. It's a story I've been trying to get across to you for many years. And Platner's just an epidemic of this cancer you see on the progressive communist socialist left well they will do anything and support anyone i said on laura ingram show last
Starting point is 00:21:32 night if you were to raise herman goering from the dead the nazi rike marshal you know we unfortunately we didn't get to hang him because he killed himself in nuremberg right if you were to raise him from the dead and put him on the ballot and you had a betting poll showing he could win and beat susan Collins, I promise the Democrat, I promise you would be out tomorrow morning claiming he's reform, claiming like we need this guy. He's the solution we need. Solution, get it? This is the, they're nuts. They have completely unmoored themselves from the peer dock boathouse of reality. So Bernie Sanders turns on this guy yesterday. I say turns on him because he only turned on him because Grant Platner was a useful tool for socialism for them. Again, as I said on Ingram's show last night,
Starting point is 00:22:17 And now that the betting prediction polling markets are starting to show that he's got, he would lose the race because people don't want to vote for a guy with a Nazi tattoo who takes care of himself in Portijon's. You see this tweet from Bernie Sanders, who is a complete total epic fraud. These guys will sell you out in a minute, your kids. Folks, they don't care about you. Here's Bernie. I've spoken with Platner about the best path forward in Maine in light of these very serious allegations. I've recommended he step aside. Bernie Sanders knew all of this stuff before.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Folks, the point is, these people have divorced themselves from logic or reason. If you had a compass true north and believed in logic or reason, you would say to yourself that a guy would zero life experience at all. He's an oyster farmer, which is, by the way, no good for you.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Thank you for working for a living for people. His only customer, however, apparently according to the point, was his mom. So he didn't even have like a success. successful business, who's got a history with women on kick, who's got a history of having a Nazi tattoo and talking about all kinds of fantasies with women and taking care of himself on a Porterjohn, like you would think like this, that would be a sign, like in some
Starting point is 00:23:31 limited circles, that would be a clue that this guy should not be in government. But none of that stuff matters. He was a tool for them. Dave Portnoy put up this little montage yesterday of the three biggest phonies you're ever going to meet, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and that fraud fake phone. Rokana, the congressman, the communist communism, pretended to be like a moderate guy. Here is, they all love Platner until the polls change.
Starting point is 00:23:55 That's the only reason they change their mind. Check this out. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that Graham Platner is the next senator from the state of Maine. I'm endorsing Graham Platner for Senate in Maine. Grand Platner is the real deal. That's my kind of man. No one thinks of him as the future of the party.
Starting point is 00:24:12 You know, he was very weak. He didn't want to support Graham Plattenham. He was out there trying to get Janet Mills. Even he now sees that Plattner is the best chance to win the state, one overwhelmingly last night. Do I want Grand Platterner to win this race? Absolutely. Are you still supporting Graham Platton?
Starting point is 00:24:29 As I said, I endorsed Grand Platner. We're going to take back. We're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate. I need you to understand. Again, the Dumer Grifter traders pretending to be MAGA are no different than the communist, progressive, socialist, liberal left. They're no different. There is no logic.
Starting point is 00:24:48 There is no guiding principle outside of this one thing. What's the one thing, folks in the chat? What's the only thing they both care about? Yes, power. You're correct. Power. That is it. Dan, surely they care about taxing the rich.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Folks, they don't give a damn about taxing the rich. Sure they do. No, they don't. Because when you tax the rich, you get less tax money because they wind up leaving. If they care about the tax money, they would actually do the opposite. They'd go look up the law. Afrika. They don't care. Power, power, power, power. There we go in the chat. That's all they care about. The reason I say this is when you're debating your liberal friends, they're not going to listen,
Starting point is 00:25:27 but the third party is listening, so keep going no matter what. It's not a waste of your time. You have to understand that whatever you tell them, they will just make up another lie and move on, like Al Sharpton when he was asked by John Stasel about the tax rate to rich pay. Five percent, actually they pay 40 percent. He just moves on. Because, all Al Sharpton and these goofball losers' zeros care about is the acquisition of power. That is it. That's all they care about. Even the hostage videos they put out once they get caught are all just formulaic bullshit
Starting point is 00:26:05 designed clearly to distract you from Compass True North. Fox hat tip to Fox put this together. Here's a side by side of disgraced Congressman Eric Swalwell. who was trying to run for governor of California, had his own allegations. And again, these guys have the right to defend themselves. However, like, you don't think this is a little bit inauthentic? Here's the side by side of both of their hostage videos
Starting point is 00:26:31 after they got busted. Doesn't this sound exactly the same? Does this sound like these guys are being authentic people, you know, men of the people? Or had some PR guy or woman write something up? This is just gold for all the wrong reasons. Fool's gold. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:26:45 that you see and hear from me directly. I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious, and false allegations against me. These allegations of sexual assault are flat, false. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically false. I'm going to spend time with my family and friends, and I appreciate those who have reached out to me to show support. We are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Folks, I just need you to understand that they don't care about your kids, about education, about health care, Obama. Oh, no, they care about Obama. They don't. They care about having power over your health care. They would throw Obamacare under the bus tomorrow if there was an easier way to gain control over your life by determining if you can get a heart surgeon while you're in the middle of a massive heart attack.
Starting point is 00:27:41 They don't care about you. You can't argue apples and orange. They do this all the time like the Duma Traders. They throw some random bullshit fact out there, fact, air quotes, that is nothing to do with anything. A plane landed in it. And you're like, is that connected in any way? No, and then they just move on. Then they just move on.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Here's another one. Like how they just bring up. This is supposed to be a serious party, correct? To the Democrats out there who are not insane. Clearly you vote for Democrats because you believe they're a serious party or you wouldn't vote for them, right? This is supposed to be a serious party. And yet, Doug Bergam, they've got the Interior Secretary, a major cabinet figure on CNN, and they're still going with this reflecting pool story. And then watch this exchange because, again, it shows you how all they care about is power.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Trump is an obstacle to them obtaining power. They need the presidency. Trump's in the way. His ass is in the seat now. They want Obama's butt in the seat or someone of the Obama ilk. Trump has to be taken out. They claim to care about liberal cities, the environment and all this stuff. So you've got this case where Donald Trump fixes up a liberal city with this dirty, disgusting, you know, reflecting pool.
Starting point is 00:29:04 You would think Washington, D.C. residents would celebrate. They can't let it go. Why? Because they want to make Trump look bad. and he is an obstacle to their power. That's why they'll never let this go. Trump brings up a red card at a FIFA tournament. They're like, oh my gosh, this is that.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I hope the United States loses. Go Belgium. These people are crazy. Listen to this exchange. And Secretary Bergam has to tell Dana Bash, who is just an imbecile, has to tell Dana Bash. You realize there have been arrests here, correct? People have actually been arrested.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Like in a court of law, like in the process over there. They still can't let it go. check this out. This was an industrial liner that was put into the pool for the very first time, multiple layers fixing two and a half miles of expansion. But it peeled off. Why? Why did that happen? It didn't peel off. There was there was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been seven arrests. There was people literally trying to destroy part of a monument. The reflecting pool is not just a pool on the mall. It is part of the Lincoln Memorial. And if anybody says that they're going to go and vandalize that, it's no, it's no different that if someone,
Starting point is 00:30:13 was throwing paint and you're 100% sure that what happened with the liner was vandalism you can prove it oh yeah absolutely can and we and as we drain it we've got all the photographs we can see i mean there's there's no possible way photographs of a person or people cutting a 300 or 350 foot gash in the bottom of the reflecting pool dana i'm not sure why you and others in the media think that you want to keep trying to question whether or not think this is an industrial liner every farmer and rancher in America that's had their pickup liner lined by this sprayed on liner, knows that you literally, literally it would never just like peel off or fall off. This is like a strong material. And it's the size of eight football fields. And the only way you can end up with actual
Starting point is 00:30:55 slices in one spot and not the other is that someone physically cut it. Notice there, this is an important clip. If you're watching on demand later on today, rewind it and listen again. Notice how Dana Bess. Did you guys catch it? You know I'm going with this. she does the same thing Cucker Tarlson and all the podcast to stand residents do. She constantly changes where the end zone is. So she makes a claim or insinuates that this basically wasn't vandalism. She's implying. Doug Bourbon goes, yeah, we actually have photos and a rest of a minute.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Then it changes. Do you have photos of someone actually cutting it, like at the exact time? And then it changes again to, do you have someone cutting all 300 yards? Did you notice how it changed? You see how every time Bergram presents to her a fact or a piece of evidence? She does nothing but move the end zone. And then she does it again. She goes, are you 100% sure?
Starting point is 00:31:53 As if there's not a trial where people get to defend themselves. This is what they do. Throw out a bullshit claim. Throw out a bullshit. Dan Bogino's got Martian DNA. It's the most ridiculous. And then they go. well, you're not taking a blood test, so apparently it's true.
Starting point is 00:32:13 The thing about the Carlson case that's so amazing is he keeps claiming he's got this thing that he won't show you while I keep telling him to show it to you, and he won't do it. And then he shows it to you, and it's the exact opposite. And people still defend it. No, no, it's real. It's real. Okay. Dana Carlson, that's what they do the same thing.
Starting point is 00:32:36 They just changed them. They just completely avoid. their own fraudulent deception and move on to another thing. Why don't you get a blood test? Prove to us you're not a mark. Holy Moses. They always regret this in the end, but we can keep going as long as it.
Starting point is 00:32:54 However, you want to play ball? Let's play ball, folks. You know, I love it. I get a kick out of it. In contrast to your, we're terrified. Sure. Terrified. A bow tie guy.
Starting point is 00:33:05 What's the bow tie guy going to do? Really? What's he going to do? What's bowtie guy going to do? He's like, you talk about the fakes, tough guy around. What are he going to do? You're going to breathe on you or something? He's got some really horrendous halitosis.
Starting point is 00:33:21 What's he going to do, breathe on you? Singe your facial hair? Folks, these people hate you, man. I'm sorry that I have to inform you. And I'm so glad, like, we have this audience out there of people who are starting to recognize this fight. And just, they're in the trenches ready to go. This army of people we have, they're just ready to go in this political battle back and forth.
Starting point is 00:33:47 They're ready to go. These people are ready to go. And I mean that in a rhetorical argumentative way. Of course, I abhor and fully reject any political violence and have over and over. But it's important to put that out there because we do get threats and stuff all the time. We don't talk about it that much. And it's due to lunatics like that guy. But these people hate your guts.
Starting point is 00:34:09 I saw this story yesterday. It reminded me of the similarities between the traitor-dumer class and the libs. It's a story about the New York City school system. So you got this guy Mamdami in there who's a straight-up communist telling you he's a man of the people, equality for everyone. Here's an article. Look at the date. July 7, 2026. I guess, yes, I'd lose track of time.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Carl Campaniel, New York Post. Staggering 900 New York City public schools have failing students amid grade inflation and lacks accountability. There's a number in this article that's stunning. Half of these schools, a majority of the students, can't read or write. Despite New York, can't read or write at that grade level. Despite New York City spending, get a load of this. $36,000 per student and $40 billion a year. $40 billion a year on the New York City public school system.
Starting point is 00:35:06 What's the entire budget of the state of Wisconsin? 40 billion. Can you imagine what a parent could do in New York City? That is incredible. That is a staggering amount. Imagine 36, you know what you could do with that? You could buy a freaking school. You could homeschool.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Holy Moses. These people are supposed to care about you. Here's what I was talking about too. I hate to bring this up after the World Cup loss. And again, they played great. It was a tough game. They lost it. The tournament was great.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Enjoy it at soccer. Have fun. The liberals were so happy. President Trump came out against this red card thing. Now, this is evidence of another. I want to play President Trump on a red card the other, but I want to tell you why I'm bringing this up. Like, Dan, this old news, no, it's not.
Starting point is 00:36:06 This is what I'm going to call the Caitlin Clark phenomenon. where you've got this entity and this enterprise, right? In that case, the WNBA, in this case, you got FIFA, right? And you've got the greatest advocate for it in the world right now, the United States. In the case of WMBA, Caitlin Clark, but because you're so committed to destructive liberal ideas, you will cut off your own face,
Starting point is 00:36:29 got off your own nose to destroy your own face just to make a point about how you are purely ideological and have nothing to do with logical reason. The liberals want crazy over this. was Trump on the red card. Check this out. So I saw the play and I'm a person that loves sports and was a good athlete and I understand sports really well, really well. And that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction. There was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other. You can't take your foot and properly place it on somebody else's foot when you're going,
Starting point is 00:37:07 No, these were two great athletes that got tangled up. And this referee who is a little bit suspect? If you check his past, I don't want to say that because I don't like to create controversy. But very suspect. If you'd like, I'll provide you with the past. Who cares about the red card again? President Trump's clearly just saying like, hey, I care about the United States. I thought it was a bullshit call.
Starting point is 00:37:41 And the left goes, go Belgium. We hope the U.S. These people are crazy. President Trump is an obstacle, whatever they can do to get him out of the way, including trying to embarrass him, even when he's trying to, even when he's trying to advocate for our team, Team U.S. It's not Team Trump, it's Team USA. They lose their mind.
Starting point is 00:38:00 This is the Caitlin Clark phenomenon. This is why the WNBA is going to continue. to be a disaster. They've got this golden goose who I have no idea. I don't know how to watch WNBA at all. I saw some games in college. I don't remember where she played, but I saw a couple games. That was it. I have never seen an Indiana fever game and nor do I care. I don't watch the WNBA. You've got this golden goose, just like we had this golden goose, team USA. Liberals who believe in DEI and can't believe that the woman's white and is successful and they're willing to destroy everything. Your enjoyment, the league, their own salaries, they will burn the whole thing
Starting point is 00:38:39 to the ground. Folks, it's what happens when you let chaos agents in your movement who redirect you from Compass True North. They will ally with anyone, including the death to America Iranians. These Tucker people that are going to lose their minds. President Trump dropped bombs on the Iranian death to America mullers. Go Iran. Number one. foamy finger go around. They're going to lose their minds today. They're going to make every excuse in the book, why we should get in bed with Islamo fanatics. They really are friends in the what happens when they say death to America? They're just kidding. It's just a euphemism for we love America. It's just a translation problem. What? Have you ever read an Intel report? Have you ever
Starting point is 00:39:26 worked in law enforcement? Have you ever worked in counterintel, counterterror? Have you ever gotten a briefing? Have you ever, ever worked in a role that required you to analyze a legitimate national security? No. Why would anybody believe anything you say? Here, I'm going to, this is an old clip, but it's worth your time. Any of you in the chat know who Christopher Hitchens is? Listen, he was an atheist. He's no friend of like organized religion at all. It's an older clip. However, I have been very vocal, even more vocal after that year at the FBI. about the grave near existential threat from Islamofanatics like the death to America Mullas.
Starting point is 00:40:13 They don't have to prove what they want to do. They've already done it. 9-11, Beirut, Lebanon, it's over and over. They don't have to prove they want to kill us. They've already killed us. VBIEDs and Iraq, many of us. They'll say, well, you know, this is a new thing.
Starting point is 00:40:35 This is the, this is going to be the Islamofanatics, their friends in podcastistan. This is going to be their defense. So I'm going to give you the counter to their defense. This is a new thing. It's only in response to us and our presence in the Middle East. So they should kill us. They should, you know, fly planes into our buildings
Starting point is 00:40:54 and have 3,000 people burn alive and jump to their death. That's their logic. This is a new thing in response to our presence in the Middle East. Really? Here's an atheist, Christopher Hitchens, saying, really, if it's a new thing, how come the Islamo fanatics have been doing this since Thomas Jefferson was in office?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Really? Yeah, really. Check this out. In 1788, when the United States was barely a country, right, was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire, North Africa. Tripoli. Tripoli. Shores of Tripoli. And its people, its ships stopped.
Starting point is 00:41:30 its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate one and a half million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the Crusades. We weren't in the war in Spain. Why do you do this to our people in our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people?
Starting point is 00:41:54 And the ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul-Rachlan, said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidivated. else. And that's our answer. And Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a Navy which will crush your state, which he did. And a good thing, too. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie. And it excuses those who are the real criminals, and it blames us for the tax made of course. Don't have anything to do with this. Folks, Hitchens was not a MAGA guy. He was not a conservative. There he is explaining to you that as long as Islamofanaticism has existed, which has been for centuries, they've been doing this.
Starting point is 00:42:43 It's not a response to anything other than their desire to kill the infidels. That's it. You really think you're going to, I mean, I don't encourage you to do this. I want to be clear. But some of you liberals out there defending these Islamophonatic Nazis, I don't encourage you because I don't want you to die. If you were to go and like sneak into Iran and start on a street corner like on a soapbox preaching about the importance of DEI nerves, it would be minutes before you were arrested and your fingers are probably cut off and a torture cell. I don't know why you don't understand
Starting point is 00:43:22 that. The answer, well, I do know because you just don't want to because you're anti-communists. Hat tip David Horowitz. We are the anti-communists. We're an obstacle to you because we're fighting your communist impulses, and you're the anti-anti-communist. You'll do anything you can to get us out of the way. I brought that up on Ingram last night, too. Folks, the communists only care about power. That is it. And control. They don't care about tax rates, school choice, education, health care. They will take opposing positions and debate themselves to screw you over in the zero-sum game of freedom and liberty, to extinguish your freedom and liberty like a cigarette and a freaking ass tray and take it for their own. If they're taking your money, then you can't spend it.
Starting point is 00:44:10 It's zero sum. Either it's under your control or their control. If they tell your kids where to go to school and you can't, it's either under your control or their control. If they tell you when and where you can go to the doctor, it's either under your control or their control. They will always, always take that control for themselves. These guys were nice enough to put this together. Now, I want to be clear, as we premiere this segment for the first time, the gifts of socialism, that some of the stuff we're going to talk about in this segment,
Starting point is 00:44:43 we'll run occasionally here, the gifts of, and believe me, by gifts, we mean winky, nod, nod, gifts, right? That most of this stuff isn't actually socialism. Socialism is the government control of an economy and its means of production, and its political control, too. However, it's the libs that keep telling us that government spending is socialism. So we're just going to use their own definition. Here's a segment by John Stossel on reason about government spending on a bathroom.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Your definition is socialism, not mine. Let's see how successful your version of socialism works. This is Encyclopedia, Volume 1 in The Gifts of Socialism. This little building is a $2 million bathroom. Two million dollars? I had to check it out. I was expecting gold-plated fixtures. It's just a toilet, a couple urinals, two sinks, two million dollars.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Do the people who use this part know what taxpayers paid for their bathroom? What should something like this cost? Um, a couple thousand. Seventy thousand, approximately hundred thousand, maybe. Oh, maybe. They spent two million dollars. For this, Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Wow. Your department puts out a statement, the current estimate to build a new bathroom is $3 million. It is now approaching, in some cases, going over $3 million. Mitchell Silver is New York's Parks Commissioner. This is the most expensive market in the world. So $2 million was a good deal here? $2 million was a good deal. We build these conference stations to last.
Starting point is 00:46:27 But you can buy whole houses in that neighborhood for less than... what you spend on this bathroom. I hear that point often, and if you look at the material that we use compared to a home, these are very, very durable material. That's nice, but this bathroom is made of durable materials too. It's so beautiful that a newspaper said it might be the fanciest in New York, yet it cost one-fifth as much. Why?
Starting point is 00:46:55 Well, it's in nearby Bryant Park, and Bryant Park is privately managed. The final reason this costs so much, is that it took years to build it. It took less time to build the Empire State building. Oh my gosh. I didn't even see that part. When we did the show rundown and I sent it over, I missed the last part.
Starting point is 00:47:14 It took seven years to build a freaking bathroom for grand platter. No, it's not a portage. I'm sorry. There's no blue water in our house. Maybe it'd have a blue, but it was a little fleshy things or something. Seven freaking years? Folks, again, this isn't even socialism,
Starting point is 00:47:31 which is a thousand times. worse because they'll just kill you and you have no choice in you at least here you can still vote it's the democrats telling you this is socialism and even by their own definition they can't even build a place to take a dump that's it that's it they can't even do that they can't educate your kids they can't provide you health care they can do nothing they can't even get their facts straight on who's paying taxes to them imagine having a business who doesn't even know who they're paying customers are they're like man al sharp then you got that blue-haired lady on caleb hammers show the rich don't pay any taxes zero 5% nothing actually they pay 40% the richest 1% pay for imagine not knowing that and then bragging about how stupid you are imagine selling obamacare to the public on a government shutdown
Starting point is 00:48:21 it happened right as i came back on the air imagine coming back on the air for me there's a government shutdown because the Democrats are bankrupting America because Obamacare is so expensive and they were bragging about it. We need more money and subsidies for Obamacare. We're shutting down the government. I thought you told us it was going to reduce the cost. Did nobody pick up on that? These did it mind me. It's like, never see space balls? You did, right? You're Star Wars guys. Lord Helmut. Like this is, you're like worshiping Rick Moranis. Like Lord Helmut. This is like your guy. That's the communist leader of your new country. It's not my Donnie. It's Lord How is his name Lord Helmut or something? That's who you. This is your guy.
Starting point is 00:49:09 An absolute moron. Are they doing a sequel to that, by the way? All right, I got to warn you about something serious, Joe. I was going to title today's show, you know, you've been warned because this is really serious. And I'm not like unnecessarily. The matter of fact, I hate these, it's so stupid. I'm going to take a very quick break here, but right, just a minute. But on the other side of this, ladies and gentlemen, you really want to lose your report. public, and I mean at rapid speed, then just sit back and do nothing about the national popular vote compact. What's that?
Starting point is 00:49:46 It's bad. It's really bad. And the fact that a lot of people are discussing it, hey, no one's talking. People are talking about it, but it's not being talked about enough. This is a huge assault on our republic. A huge assault. I'll get to that just a second here. If you're a homeowner, you probably thought, should I call American financing to refinance
Starting point is 00:50:09 and pay off this credit card debt? Then you second-guise yourself because the low mortgage rate you currently have. Well, listen up here. This is important. American financing is a great company. That low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more. It's just math. That's math no one wants to face.
Starting point is 00:50:23 But it's costing you thousands. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American financing because they're saving customers an average of $800 a month by using. their equity to finally break free from those endless cycles of credit card debt. Make the math work for you. You owe it to your family to see what's possible.
Starting point is 00:50:44 No upfront fees. There's no pressure. It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month. And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. Call American financing today. Here's the number. 888-994-7660. It's a great company.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Been with me for a long time. Just give them a call. 888-994-76-60 or visit them online. It's a dot-net address. Americanfinancing.net slash Bongino. Americanfinancing.net slash Bongino. Thank you, American financing. We really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Ladies and gentlemen, as they just said, you've been warned. If you have the time, I would like you to read this article about the mechanics of this national popular vote, which I believe is an unconstitutional train wreck, which will destroy our republic at lightning speed, okay? There's an article we have up there, the Fed Society. We'll put up a link in the show notes, wherever we have. the Federalist Society, the National Popular Vote Compact, an end run around the electoral college.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Article just came out the other day. It is critically important you read this piece. The National Popular Vote Compact is very simple, very dangerous, but very simple. Because Democrats do not believe in the principles of federalism or the Republic, Democrats want what's called direct democracy. Now, that sounds great, just like Democratic socialism, correct? The problem with direct democracy where you could vote on every single thing and every single issue is if I get an organized group of people to vote away your civil liberties, I can do it. That's not democracy at all. That's the old two sheep, excuse me, two wolves and a sheep arguing about what's for dinner.
Starting point is 00:52:24 The answer is you, the sheep. We have a representative democracy. We have a constitutional republic that provides a layer against the tyrannism. of a majority. We have that for a reason. It's to protect the small farmer in Wisconsin. These guys screwed up before. It's to protect, you know, the rancher in Wyoming
Starting point is 00:52:46 from the predations of big government from blue city, blue-haired liberals in New York City who want to take away their rights. There's a reason that we have a republic that is more reflective of flourishing human liberty than the idea of a majority using their own tyranny to take away the rights of others. The National Popular Vote Compact is basically this.
Starting point is 00:53:12 I live in the state of Florida. Say, God forbid, if they would never do it under Governor Ronda Santos, who's been excellent. However, say a Democrat gets in charge and the Democrats magically take over Florida. They could say, listen, we are signing on to this National Popular Vote Compact where we will give our electoral college votes
Starting point is 00:53:32 we will give them to whoever wins the national popular vote, regardless if Florida votes for the Democrat or the Republican. It doesn't matter. Your vote will mean nothing. Now, combine that with the recent abomination, I believe, of a Supreme Court ruling that says that election day is really election season and that you can vote past election day. And can you imagine what the next presidential election would look like?
Starting point is 00:54:00 Just imagine this. Put yourself, you think there's chaos now with the voter fraud that we know exists. I'll show you a story tomorrow. I'll show you a story tomorrow. We know it exists, right? The question is only the degree and if it's changed elections. That's the only question.
Starting point is 00:54:14 We know it exists. There's many, many documented cases, all right? Imagine sitting there on election night and you're still waiting for California, which is going to count votes for, I don't know, two weeks, three weeks a month, to determine who wins a close national popular vote. And every day it changes. It's President Don Trump Jr. No, it's President Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:54:40 President Donald Trump Jr., President-elect Kamala Harris, President-elect Don Trump Jr. Can you imagine this for a month? Ladies and gentlemen, there would be riots in the streets. Every single, and that's what the Democrats won. That's why we have an electoral college system that insulates us from this. You get enough states that sign on to this.
Starting point is 00:55:00 that can give and deliver 260 electoral college votes based on the popular vote, not their own state. And ladies and gentlemen, you're in a world of trouble. Folks, I am a happy warrior. But I'm also concerned, and you should be too. There should be a healthy degree, healthy degree of concern, not panic. We're not panicking's here over the state of the country and in the state of our movement. We've got to stay aligned with Compass True North. The mark of a grift, ladies and gentlemen, is its immunity to facts and logic.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Any presentation of facts to a grifter is just additional evidence that you're in on the conspiracy they invented. They want to rid themselves of obstacles. That's why didn't you notice it was this unified effort to attack this show the minute we came back, despite what was an incredible year, they could not get over that. They saw it as an attack on them. Like, my gosh, going to take back an audience I thought I had. truth tellers become your biggest problem when you're a fraud like these people so they got to rid themselves That's what worries me if that were to ever become the majority in our party too
Starting point is 00:56:12 I want you to just watch this quick segment. It's important for those of you out there who do not do preparedness because you don't want to be You know branded like a crazy person by your dopey blue-haired liberal neighbor doesn't even know what the tax rates are right Oh you guys are preppers. Yeah, I'm a prepper. I prepare I mean I don't have a comment compound. However, maybe one day I will. I mean, I prepare. I have survival food. I have a supply of water. Why? Because it's smart. I'm a dad. I have two daughters. Ways to communicate. I have firearms. You should prepare too. I say that not to be a doomer, but the way to avoid being a duma is to be prepared. I saw this segment on Dr. Drew show. This is a guy named Drew Miller on
Starting point is 00:56:55 preparedness. It's about a minute. You should check out the whole thing. It's about five, six minutes long. But he talks about how, you know, with the threat of maybe artificial intelligence going awry, the threat of a nation state getting a dirty bomb, the threat of an attack on our industrial control systems and computer network, like we should be prepared. You should too. Check this out. Well, I've been a prepper for a long time because I was an intelligence officer. Some aware of the threats.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And when the Soviet Union fell and people said, oh, that's it. We've made it through. And now things are going to be peace forever. I knew that was absolutely nonsense. There are kind of two things related to that. We list six major trends that are driving this higher probability of collapse. So the new technologies is the biggest one. But one of the things we list is very high, less personal resilience. We're more dependent. People, you know, he mentioned victimizing. People have been trained and coached. And I think deliberately encouraged by some government officials and elected officials, I'm not partisan, but I would blame the Democratic Party more on this. They really like people to think that you need government. to protect you, that you're a victim, everyone's taking advantage of you. You need more government regulation, more government control in order to be protected. And, you know, we contrast the way we used to be with, you know, independent Americans, freedom, liberty, pioneer spirit with what we
Starting point is 00:58:14 have today with, you know, almost everyone has some kind of welfare, our entitlement benefits. We're dependent on government. So that that's part of it. And in terms of the bad people, the issue that Dr. Drew you raised, we absolutely have more bad people in the United States. There's at least a million known gang members in the United States. There are two million Americans in jail. So that's three million people that right out of the gate in a collapsed disaster are going to be marauders. The gang members will start marauding immediately. And the two million Americans in jail won't be there. You cannot keep jails operating when the grid goes down when you lose power. You can't operate a jail.
Starting point is 00:58:54 If there's the pandemic, guards aren't going to come to work and risk, you know, catching a virus. And in any collapse, with law and order breaking down, guards are not going to come to work because it's too risky. Folks, we've already been through this with COVID. You've already seen what the world looks like when everybody loses compass true north and logic and reason go out the window. Justin's like, don't do it. Don't do it. Put the mask on. Put the face condom on. But everyone who put a face mask on got sick from COVID, every single person. I told you, it's like the condom you use and every woman you have sex with gets pregnant.
Starting point is 00:59:32 You'd be like, maybe I should stop using that. It doesn't matter. People went crazy. People went absolutely crazy because you had charlatans and phonies and frauds out there who couldn't rely on facts and evidence. Man, we were banned from YouTube and Google for telling you masks don't work. We were under full-blown attack. You don't think this kind of stuff could happen. again? Laura 1717C in the chat asked, by the way, what's a dirty bomb? A dirty bomb is very simple.
Starting point is 01:00:02 It's very simple to describe. You use basically a traditional explosive and you put radioactive material, whatever it may be medical waste, a radioactive material, and you just expose. So it's not like a missile with a traditional fission bomb. It's just a device that would explode and disseminate this radioactive material. Why is that a big deal? Because obtaining radioactive material, granted, is not super easy, but it's not as hard as building an ICBM, an intercontinental ballistic missile. If you were to do this, God forbid, in a major city, and decon guys and bubble suits
Starting point is 01:00:40 were out there, the effect on the American psyche would be devastating. Just like the drone problem. That's why when I was over at the bureau, I was so focused on the drone thing. The second there's a drone attack here, every single time you hear a buzz, people are going to go like this and they're going to freak out. That's why we have to be prepared. Don't panic. Don't panic.
Starting point is 01:01:00 The United States has gotten over to this stuff in the past. We've dealt with threats. There are people out there focused on it. However, there are also people focused on killing us. Look at this footage out of Iran. We saw that this was just crazy. I saw this the other day on social media. Like, this is nuts.
Starting point is 01:01:15 These are the people like Podcastistan is in with the lethal plotting, the targets of Laura Lumer, Peter Thiel, President Trump. Holy Moses, folks. This stuff is just, we've reached crazy town. Now, listen, I'll bring up what I brought up the other day. I don't like to talk about this a lot. But we are getting a voluminous amount of crazy people who are doing some really increasingly unhinged things
Starting point is 01:01:46 based on online Teddy Ruckspin fairy tales. So if they want to go to war with us, then we're going to do it. And we're ready. So I'm just telling you now, I'm not going to let you do this. If something happens, God forbid, to me or my family. And there's another manifesto with your name on it out there, I'm never going to let that go, like ever in my life. I'm just telling you. You want to continue to F around.
Starting point is 01:02:18 All right. We've been through this before. We've been here a long time. You want to play around? Let's play. You got it? I hope you understand. Yeah, I'm talking to you.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Remember that one? Another one of our many dubs. We were racking up dubs, but it took a while. That was kind of a war of attrition, but that one, remember that for you P1s out there? That went on a long time. We won again. By the way, you got our comment of the day? Who was the comment?
Starting point is 01:02:49 of the day today. Dan using an X-Files reference like his crew uses Star Wars reference. That's why I love this podcast. I love the X-Files. I thought the movie was underrated too, cigar-smoking guy. And then when I got in there and I found out we have our own like unit that looks into this stuff. I told you that we didn't really find anything that would be indicative of, you know, a cigar-smoking guy and a, you know, human beings being harvested. But we have our own unit, too, which is pretty crazy. I brought them in for a brief. I'm like, tell me what you guys do. Pretty fascinating.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I used to love that show. You ever wonder why they never, did they ever like follow up with more movies? Was there a sequel? I don't even remember. But they should have followed up with more movies. That movie was pretty good. I think, was there a sequel to that or whatever?
