All America all the time.
Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show.
You know, I was watching the live chat at the beginning of the show,
and was it Trigger Man or said something, you know,
obviously this would be for you, Guy and Justin,
the little Star Wars thing there.
He said, help us, Dan Bongino.
You're our only hope.
I appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
Someone responded back, and I mean this with all the love in the world,
no, we're the leaders we've been waiting for.
You both are P-1s, clearly.
I love you both, but I'm not anyone's only hope.
And I don't say this out of some faux sense of like humility.
You know, fake humility?
Let me tell you why I'm not the greatest.
And then they go and tell you why they're the greatest you ever see that.
What do they call it, humble bragging?
That's not this.
I am not your only hope.
ton of people out there doing absolutely incredible work on X, on podcast, radio, TV, and government
elsewhere, people who stepped up. I am not the only hope. I really deeply appreciate you.
I'm not even close to it. You're the leaders we've been waiting for. So thank you in the chat for
being so involved, showing up here every day at 10 a.m. live. I feel like you're my extended family.
I think that's why we stuck together through thick and thin. And I'm going to start the beginning of the
today with establishing again bona fides. Ladies and gentlemen, despite what you've been told by the
massive black pilling, many cases foreign funded and otherwise funded op to take out figures in the
Trump administration, me included. I'm sorry you swung and missed, but now everything I told you
was going to happen is now being revealed. It seems like every day something I told you over the last
six months, X is going to happen. X happens. And then it's strange.
quiet from the people who told you that X wasn't going to happen or that Y was going to happen,
and it didn't. Why did why not happen? Because they lied to you. I'll show you what I mean
coming up in a second where it only took a couple of days. It's important because it relates to you.
I also want to discuss, I saw this segment on Fox and Friends this morning with our military.
Ladies and gentlemen, to all you serving in our military, a heartfelt in this 250 years, 1776 onwards.
It's because of you.
There would be no, that's just a fact.
There would be no United States
and no country called the United States
without you standing there bravely
with your ass on the line defending it, period, end the story.
I'll show you what I mean in a second.
Hey, weight loss injections are everywhere,
but here's the catch.
About 15% of users, they quit because of the cost,
another 15% stop because the side effects they don't like.
So a while back, I was going through chemotherapy with cancer
and I put on a lot of weight.
I wasn't eating that great.
You know, food, some food just drives you cream.
You wind up eating just sugary crap.
I was eating a lot of cereal.
So I gained a lot of weight.
I was up at about 238.
If you watched my old Rumble videos from then, you'll see.
There was a little bit of goo there.
And I called Miles from Brickhouse.
I was like, Miles, you got some in the pipeline here.
You know, your buddy Dan here needs to lose some LBs.
He said, I do.
It's called Lean.
You want to get lean?
Try Lean.
Go to Brickhouse Nutrition.com slash Dan.

Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things.
This was weight loss injections, but naturally.
Lean helped tackle my hunger.
Help sustain steady energy without constant cravings.
It works.
I get calls about it all the time from friends.
That stuff work?
Yeah, it works.
I mean, look, I lost over 30 pounds.
And lean did something injections don't.
It helped my body turn fat into energy,
so I burn fat instead of storing it.
And I kept it off, too, for as long as I, for that entire time.
My favorite part, lean is a L-E-A-N.
Lean is a nutritional supplement.
It's on injection.
There's no prescriptions, no needles.
I lost way with lean.
I believe you can do.
Me and Paula both use it.
So go to Brickhouseutrition.com.

All right, fellows, let's go. First, hey man, do me a solid in the chat.
If you are active duty military or a veteran, or even if you have a family member, because
that's service too in a different way, but service.
You're the one at home taking care of the kids while your husband or wife is serving
overseas.
Put an American flag in a chat.
I want people to see how many people are out there putting their butts on the line for
you because there's a lot of them.
And in this, we just started five minutes in, 23,000 people.
Let's see how to 23,000 people.
Look at it.
Here we go.
This, do you see these flags?
These are all the people.
These are the people.
These are real people.
These are real people.
These are not bots.
These are not fake people.
These are not AstroTurf.
People, these are living, believe, look at that chat, living, bleeding, breathing human beings,
putting their asses on the line every single day so we can have a country.
That's a fact.
I don't care if you work anywhere from the White House mess to an infantry Marine on the front lines.
That military keeps, wow, that's even more than I expect.
That's a lot of military folks.
I say that because I was going through some content pre-production for the show, and I'm like,
guys, we got to talk about the Siyop that was the Strait of Harmuz,
that the Iranians had everyone believe in.
They'd mine the whole straight.
And the reality was, you're starting to see now today that most of it was inflated garbage bags.
There were like 11 mines.
The whole thing was a Siyop.
And the media, you remember?
The media, oh my gosh, the Iranians, they kicked Trump's ass.
They own the straight.
Everything's going to blow up.
And all of a sudden, and I thought, like, our military,
SentCom released a video last night.
Our military is so amazing that.
within just a period of a few months, we now effectively own the straight.
There's still danger, no doubt, but we effectively are due to our military, regardless of your
feelings about the conflict in Iran.
You're perfectly entitled to your opinion.
Our military executes orders from the commander-in-chief.
He said, take that thing back.
It's back.
It's still a danger, but we effectively own it.
So I'm sitting there putting us together, and almost like serendipity, heavenly intervention.
I turn up, I turned up, I had the TV on mute and Fox was on.
And I'm watching Steve Ducey who's going to our military academy.
And I'm watching him at West Point with these just, oh, you got a little VO there, a little voice over.
Just with our amazing men and women in the military, just with the sacrifices they make.
And I want to tell you just from my experience, I will never forget in our Secret Service Training Academy,
I was an instructor there for three years, right?
I would always pick as a class,
we had about 40 to 50 people agents in a class.
I would always pick a military guy as the class president.
The class president is basically your,
your liaison to the class.
You're not going to talk to every student every single day.
Sometimes you get a message, you just call the class president, right?
Because they were just incredible.
There's something our military does to people.
In the chat, tell me if I'm right.
You know someone in the military, you're in the military.
I've always said this.
The military, just like any institution,
They're not going to make a bad person good.
Bad people are just bad.
Listen, there's bad people in the middle.
There's bad people everywhere.
Bad people in law and bad people in aviation and carpentry.
There's always bad people.
You're not going to make a bad person good.
But what the military does better than anyone else,
in my experience dealing with them,
is they make, I would even say, a mediocre or good person absolutely great.
Nobody doesn't like the military.
Not college, not baseball.
No one.
They can take, and I don't mean mediocre, like, as a quality judgment.
We're all blessed by God with, you know, inalienable rights.
I mean, maybe you're just not the strongest, the fastest.
You know, maybe you're not like the best-looking or most athletic.
The military turns you into a great man.
They turned good people into diamonds.
Nobody does it like the military.
I say that because if you are a younger person listening to the show,
thank you for being here.
We love you.
I'm not mad at you for the indoctrination that went on.
You know what?
The world's got problems that's presented you to.
If you want to be a great person,
the easiest way to get there,
if you were a good person, is our military.
They're our military.
They're hands down.
I picked the class president every time
because I knew the class would be squared away.
I knew it.
Even if you had five or six ham sandwiches in there,
it couldn't do a damn thing.
I knew the class president be like,
nah, no, that's not good enough.
Don't tell me you can't do it.
five pull-ups, get up there.
I knew it.
And it worked every time.
I coordinated like three or four classes or help with them in each one.
I mean, there's probably 20 that went through when I was there,
but where I was directly involved, always, always a military guy.
And I'm going to tell you one more thing.
Now making it a damn bodgino story hour.
My last year at the FBI, if I needed something done and I needed some leadership on a project
that maybe was inter-agency that wasn't solely our space, you go to the military.
because they'll send a colonel, captain, lieutenant,
or even a general in there, and be like, what do you need?
There was this one guy, I'm not going to say who he is,
but he was working on, what should we call the project, Andy?
We'll call it Doors Hammer.
Dan, you guys invented?
No, we didn't invent Doris Hammer.
It's a Marvel movie thing.
But I can't tell you what the project is.
It was very, very classified, like really classified.
But this guy was in charge.
I'm telling you, man, this guy at meetings, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
I don't mean bang, bang, bang, shooting.
I mean, like, he was just, stuff just happened.
Stuff just happened.
You want to get things done, join the military.
You want to be great, join the military.
You want to be venerated by your fellow citizens for your bravery.
Even if you don't, I don't care, you will be because you deserve it.
Join our military.
I love you on this show.
Military and law enforcement on this show have a really special place in my heart.
All right.
Just something I had to get out there, and especially on a Friday where we all deserve
a little bit of good news.
You still live in the greatest country on earth in the golden era of politics.
The safest country, the borders closed, the economy's humming along.
Yeah, some speed bumps, but we're doing pretty damn good as a country right now.
And I get tired of hearing all the doom and gloom and whining.
Folks, when I've been out six months now.
You know, I told them I had a year.
We did a lot of big things.
It's promises made were promises kept.
Now, a lot of people tried to get you to turn on us and other people in the administration.
And I told you that not all of it.
Some people just genuinely don't like me or others.
Which is okay.
You know, it's a republic.
You have to have no means obligated to like me.
But a large portion of this was a foreign.
funded operation to not only take out the Trump administration, but to get America to do things
that were totally counterproductive to America.
I want to show you what I mean.
Everything I told you is now being revealed.
I'm going to throw that this is always, this is the hot button issue, de jure, and I want to
be clear up front again by telling you, I am not telling you how to think.
If you don't like a flock camera or a data center, there are a.
very real concerns with these things.
That is your right. Are we clear
on that? I'm not
telling you how or what to think.
I'm simply telling you that
other people are trying
to get you to think a certain
way and a lot of what they're telling
you about these things aren't
true.
He was President Trump hat tip Nick Souter for this
video in July, just
a month ago, telling
everybody, be very
careful about this whole thing
about data centers. Not that you shouldn't be concerned, not that you shouldn't vet projects,
not that in some cases you shouldn't turn down. Maybe they're not turned down projects. Maybe
they're not right for your community. But a lot of what you're being told is being funded by the
Chinese Communist Party because they want to cyber attack the country with no technological
infrastructure to fight back. It's a fact. He was President Trump a month ago saying what I
already knew because I'd seen the Intel, just like he did. What do you think I was doing there for a year?
I tried to warn you about it.
Now that he said it, I can double down and tell you all of this is in fact true.
Check this out.
Really spending a tremendous amount of money.
In other words, are the governors in the room.
You have great governors in this room.
And these companies are spending tremendous amounts of money on the communities,
the local communities.
So I think it's important that we tell the local communities that because other nations are trying
to get us to slow down.
and they're spending a lot of money on propaganda, on press, PR, trying to convince everybody
that this isn't a positive thing.
And if we don't do this, we're going to be left behind.
And even communities compared to other communities.
You have some communities that really want this.
This isn't all negative stuff.
You have communities that really want the data centers.
And frankly, those are the smart communities, because it means tremendous numbers of jobs
very little actual disruption.
And the ones that don't want it, you know,
the happiest people in the world are foreign countries, number one,
and number two, other communities within our country
because they're begging for them to be there.
And some of them are great communities,
very, very forward-looking communities.
Notice that unlike others in podcastistan and elsewhere,
many of whom are probably taken the foreign
and grift from China and elsewhere.
I tell you straight.
What did I just say at the beginning of this segment?
I am not telling you what's right for your community.
You guys have any idea in there why I'm not telling them what's right for the community?
Where do I live?
Justin's like, I don't know.
I think you live in Martin County, Florida.
I think so too.
I think so because I do.
If you're in Anchorage, Alaska,
and none of my business what happens in your community,
this isn't about that.
I said, yes, it is.
No, it's not.
It is not.
This is about what I've been warning you about since I came out
that there is a very well-funded foreign effort
to get you to do counterproductive things
to get you to destroy the country from the inside.
A.G. Hamilton threw this up on X.
And I'm going to show you something else,
and it's so what makes sense.
X is now Twitter, X is now confirmed.
A Chinese bot farm of 200,000 fake accounts
was intentionally trying to manipulate public opinion against status.
Here we go.
everything I told you will be revealed.
People might want to consider how common this has become
and how it's manipulating multiple policy discussions on social media.
You don't believe me, here's the ex post.
This is from X, Global Affairs.
The X safety team conducted an investigation
into Chinese inauthentic accounts involving influence operations.
They identified these bot farms.
These posts contain claims that AI data centers
are driving up electricity prices, straining the grid,
AI-generated cartoons that depicted data center operations enriching themselves at the public expense.
Why would China be doing this?
Why would China only, and for the umpteenth time, I'm not telling you what to do in your community.
I don't live there.
I'm just telling you that when you research these things like any other business, a coal-powered, you know, plant,
you're going to need electricity in your community.
You want coal, you want nuclear, solar.
that's up to you.
You may have a community with the sun shines all day.
Great, great, do your thing.
Why would China want to rip out the technical backbone infrastructure of our ability
to use not just AI, but even basic computing?
I don't like tech center's data says, well, then somehow, how are you going to use your phone?
You want to route your information through one in China?
You understand, like, we need this stuff.
Put up this Axios article.
Listen to me, brothers and sisters.
Open AI, Anthropic issue, Dyer, Cyber Threat Morning.
You don't have to like these companies or not.
It's up to you.
That hospital and water treatment plants and other critical infrastructure will face a swarm of hacking threats
as artificial intelligence makes sophisticated cyber capabilities cheaper and more accessible to attackers.
They write an open letter.
It's counterproductive to them to say, hey, this business is dangerous.
They want to say, oh, it's great.
They're not saying that.
Whether you like these companies, hate these companies, I'm telling you, I'm the same person I always was.
The pillars wanted you to think something different and they lost.
I'm telling you I've seen this intel and there is nothing they want more than for us to just lose this AI race so they can unleash a torrent of cyber attacks.
And I'm just, listen, man, don't even flag this in the chat because I don't want this to even happen.
This isn't, you know, we say that in like sarcastically something.
This is not funny.
You are going to wake up one morning in your house somewhere in America and you're going to
turn on your faucet and nothing's going to come out.
Or you're going to turn on your faucet and the chlorine level is going to have been manipulated
with and you're going to get violently ill or die.
This is a real fight and there are real concerns and there are places these things aren't
appropriate. You know, you want it next to your kid's school or something? Probably not.
I'm just telling you there is a very well-funded op, getting you believe a lot of things
that are just not true. And that applies to everything. This segment's not about data centers.
It's about influence operations. President Trump is not lying to you. Justin popped out of studio.
He goes, you know, listen, a lot of the listeners hate these things.
Fine, you're allowed to hate him.
You're always welcome here, guys.
President Trump clearly is telling you the truth despite political consequences.
He's doing the right thing, not the easy thing.
Folks, there's so much going on.
And listen, the Bongino rule always applies.
You know, we kind of laugh about the Bongino rule,
which is give like 24 to 72 hours to a story before you form a final opinion.
Not, not, you know, not don't talk about it.
Like talk about.
whatever you want. It's not me to tell you what to talk about. I'm just telling you.
Now it's up to like, I think the Bongino rule should be like 24 months now because these
siops are just ongoing. Like talk all you want about these things. But maybe before forming some
final opinion, just try to suss out like who's influencing you for the wrong reasons, not on
principle. Okay. I say that because it must have killed. Like if you would have just applied the
Bongino rule on what's going on in the straight, then again, we would have a more realistic
kind of idea about what's going on in the Straits of Hormuz.
We were told by the left-wing media that even filtered into the whole
MAGA space where people like, I can't believe this.
There was never a plan for the straight-a-harm movie.
He got totally screwed up.
I told you there was a plan.
The plan may not have gone according to plan at every step.
Bloomberg.
Can we all agree Bloomberg business probably can't stand President Trump?
Fair assessment, fellas.
Justin's like, yes, sounds good.
Oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have recovered to around two-thirds of pre-war levels,
limiting the Iran war's impact on global crude prices, according to Goldman Sachs.
I'm not telling you it's not dangerous.
I'm not telling you things gone absolutely every day according to what wars are unpredictable.
But I thought there was the apocalypse in the Strait of Hormuz.
I thought the Iranians, despite wiping out level 1 through 50 of their leadership,
that they had brought President Trump to his knees.
He's the commander-in-chief of the baddest-ass military on earth.
And CENTCOM seems to be saying otherwise.
What do you think they're lying?
You think Bloomberg's lying for the president?
We own the street.
It's not without risk.
Is that total de-escalation?
We own the strait because our badass military
and the most powerful Navy in the history of the world says we own it.
There's thousands of mines in the strait.
We're garbage bags filled with,
Water. They were floating garbage. That's what they were. There were like 11 mines they found,
which they got rid of. And then did you see this article, Axios too, no friend of President Trump.
I thought everything was doom and gloom. The oil markets were completely collapsing. The Iranians
are grabbing us by the sack. We're all in trouble, man. Axios, Mark Caputo, U.S. close to striking
massive deal for Venezuelan oil field. Wow. Wow. What is that's crazy.
dude. It's almost like President Trump had a plan the whole time. I thought he didn't have a plan.
I thought he just made this up. What was that? Venezuela was in the news for something.
It was my last day on the job. I'll never forget waking up to that. It was one of those moments.
You get to call. I don't want to be hyperbolic or dramatic, but it's exactly like, yeah, man,
we got him. I'm like, Maduro. Like, yes, there were like weather issues. We didn't know when we were
doing it. I was like, nice. I thought he didn't have a plan. I thought you didn't have a plan. I don't even have a
plan. Folks, it's just again, man, just see through the mist. You know, me and Stephen King
can't stand each other. But man that movie The Mist, just see through the mist. On the other side
of the mist is the military coming to save you from like the dinosaurs and big hairy spiders
and stuff. Ask questions. Be skeptical. Whether it's a data center, the straight of Hormuz,
flock cameras, that's your job as a citizen. FISA warrants, all of it. But process inputs
that are real to get a better output.
You process fake inputs,
you're going to come up with a fake output.
I got a lot more.
You got this, I got a quick thought.
I want to get too into this Lindsey Clancy case.
There's still no verdict on it.
I don't want to get too into it.
But I do want to,
there's something I want to bring up about it
because it's, I think, really important
for any of us out there in the legal space.
I got that.
Also, you think we're not fighting lunatics out there?
Some video is now surfaced,
confirming again that everything
I told you about the left is true too, that the stuff they're about to do to you if they win
is not good by any sane reasonable metric.

We appreciate it.
Folks, you know, human beings, I'll get to this with regards to the Clancy case
in a minute, but human beings, when confronted with problems, this is all of us, it's an indictment
on me and everyone else, because we're fallible. We're not, there's only one perfect human being,
Jesus Christ, and I certainly ain't him. I love him, but I ain't him, okay? One of our natural human
foibles that's hard to kind of get past is human beings, unlike the animal kingdom,
we have this instinct when a problem surfaces to seek blame.
We just do.
We want to, there's like, we almost think in a narrative,
like this bad thing happened.
So because I need an outlet to vent,
you have to blame someone.
You see this in criminal trials all the time,
where the, you know,
the famous line in the movie,
a few good men,
like trials,
many times aren't about guilt or innocence.
The facts aren't in dispute.
They're about who to blame.
I encourage you to keep that,
mind in politics too.
This is where socialists excel.
This is the tie-in.
They excel at the blame game.
There are human problems that have existed since we've been sentient human beings,
homo sapiens from our Neanderthal days, right?
These problems aren't going anywhere.
How to find food.
How to stay entertained.
People have always sought entertainment, whether it's cave writing or watching the first
human TV, which was a campfire, right?
These are problems how to find water.
They're not going anywhere.
The socialists excel at the blame game.
The rich did it.
The white man did it.
It was systemic discrimination.
You're like systemic.
There was a system that did it.
Because everywhere you claim systemic discrimination,
there's a bunch of Democrats in charge.
It's a Democrat system.
Folks, we've got to learn to leverage that game too.
I'm sorry.
It sounds mercenary.
but it's true.
Human beings will always be confronted with everlasting, evergreen problems that will never go away.
How do I feed my kids?
You know, how do I find a job?
These are not going anywhere.
We have got to find a way to say a lot of these problems are caused by something.
Well, we shouldn't be blamed.
No, we should because there is someone to blame here.
And the person to blame is government.
It's true.
Nearly every single society-wide problem we have in the United States
has a huge nexus to a government footprint.
I'll prove it to you right now.
Think about things liberals complain about the most when it comes to the economy.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Like the cost of health care is out of control, right?
Heard that a thousand times.
Liberals run out all the time.
Cost of college education is out of control.
We're failing our kids.
This is really weird because the biggest footprint
on those two services, education and health care,
by far the biggest footprint or influence is government.
Government pays for about 50 plus percent of health care
and government pays for a much larger portion of education.
And yet conservatives are afraid,
they get lost in the guilt or innocence
without realizing that the off-ranference,
people are looking for someone to blame.
They are.
Well, I'm telling you who to blame.
the person who's managing all this or the people, which is government.
Folks, it happens all the time.
You know, can you pull up that John Kasich clip?
I know where I told you we'd be totally out of order.
John Kasich is one of the fakesest Republicans out there.
John Kasich, remember he ran for president?
This guy hates President Trump.
This goes to show you, like, I will, I'll call out in a bipartisan manner,
Republicans or Democrats who act like buffoons.
This is a very short clip.
But here he is on a news network, amazingly claiming that the way to get health care costs under control in conjunction with the Democrats is for the government to spend more money on health care through subsidies.
Where is this worked?
We were told Obamacare was going to solve the cost crisis.
And the subsidies are what caused the problem.
This is what I'm talking about.
By this guy doesn't get people are looking to blame someone.
He's blaming you when, in fact, the government is causing.
the health care crisis. Check this out.
Number one issue of affordability. Everybody's worried about his health care.
And I would expect that they're going to pass the renew those subsidies for health care
to bring the cost of those premiums down.
Folks, this guy claims to be a Republican thing. Can he not do the math?
The whole Obamacare agenda was if you like your plan, you could keep it.
Not true. That was like the political fact lie of the year.
So imagine that a liberal outlet calling out lie of the year.
imposed, whatever it was, and that they were going to bring down costs.
Now the Democrats, like, costs are out of control.
You told us the opposite.
You injected more government in the health care system through Obamacare, all these subsidized
government taxpayer markets that totally failed.
Costs are now out of control.
And now you're blaming who, you're blaming us?
Like, we did something wrong?
No, you want to play the game with them.
They want to blame someone.
You got to play the blame game, too.
I know it doesn't sound cutesy time.
Sorry, it's true.
People want to blame someone for their issues.
It's a natural human instinct.
It's a gravitational poll you'll never get to stop.
It's like a freaking magnet.
It's a force of nature.
Give it to them.
Don't lie to them, though.
Tell them the truth.
Subsidies, John Kasich.
Obamacare subsidies lowered cost.
And why did the Democrats try to shut down the government last year?
claiming that costs were out of control, they needed more subsidies.
I thought the original subsidies were supposed to bring down.
I'm just asking questions.
Folks, government is nearly every single issue, every single issue we have as a society.
Government has a huge role in exacerbating the problem.
I will say outside of two entities, now you're going to see how the show ties in.
Our military and law enforcement, you can't privatize those.
You can't.
private army of mercenaries, you know, getting paid. You just don't want that. The opportunity for
death, destruction, and corruption is too great. And our law enforcement. People would have a real
problem if law enforcement was funded by, you know, a group of wealthy folks who went, they would.
They'd. Well, why don't I get police too? So we accept public funding comes with efficiency issues.
But law enforcement are military. It's one of the few things government, when it does it right,
does it right. President Trump did law enforcement right. He took the handcuffs office at the FBI and
we crushed the national crime rate. You don't have to believe it. It's true. That was his leadership
executed down the chain of command. Our military, who was told there's no way you guys have a plan for
the strait. The Iranians brought us to our knees. America, we should bow down to our new Iranian
masters. Really? We just found out that all of this was BS the whole time. They had a bunch of
garbage bags in the strait. They've been eviscerated. We do military and our law enforcement right.
And it just requires a little bit of legwork. I wanted to put up this post by the Manhattan Institute
because you may say, what is this to do? This goes to show you that law enforcement is dangerous.
Law enforcement is dangerous. Strategy, however, is not. They note the numbers here insane. The L.A. Metro
system, 97% of people who committed a violent crime in their transit system evaded the fare.
They turnstile jump. In D.C., 99% dodged the fare.
Now, why am I bringing this up? This is a hardcore P1 moment. Even Justin may not know this one.
Folks, when me and Cash got over in the FBI, we were both New York. He's a Long Island guy.
I was a city kid and a bit of a Long Island guy. Cash and I remember Rudy Julie.
is the mayor of New York.
He enacted what was called Broken Windows policing.
It crushed the crime rate New York to levels no one had ever seen
where even the left-wing media at the time was like,
wow, this Republican mayor isn't messing around.
We've never seen crime levels this low in our history.
What was Broken Windows?
It was very, very simple.
Yeah, look at you in the chat.
Yes, the Chad knows.
I love you guys.
Man, you've been with me forever.
I told you.
It's like my family.
You've got an extended family to me.
This was considered revolutionary at the time.
If you jumped the turnstile in the transit system in New York to get on the subway,
I promise you pre-Rudy Giuliani, the cops most of the time,
they would turn a blind eye and it wasn't their fault.
It was just because if you brought a fair jumper, a turnstile jumper into the precinct,
the desk sergeant, now desk lieutenants,
but desk sergeant would be like, get that out of here, get back in the trains.
Don't waste your time in these fair jumpers.
Giuliani came in, just like President Trump did,
and said, no.
The guy who jumps, put up that tweet again,
the guy who jumps the fare
is the guy going,
rapes the woman on the train.
If you get him when they jump the fair,
they don't rape the woman.
Look at the numbers.
This is what we did at the FBI.
I know the media doesn't want to cover it
because they don't want to give President Trump
any credit.
Folks, it's not about me.
I don't care.
Write in your article, I suck.
I hate that guy.
Fine.
Give the president credit.
He fully understood broken windows
and said,
You think you could send your FBI teams down to Memphis
and like clear violent crime warrants in Memphis?
Is there a way we can do that?
You had even people in the FBI like, ah, we don't do that.
Well, we're doing it now.
We're doing it now.
And look what happened.
Government doesn't have to suck, folks.
Government can do things right when they know, what was it to rock?
Know your role.
When you know your role, government doesn't have to suck.
We can reestablish faith in good government again,
as long as it doesn't get out of its lane
and do things it's incapable of doing.
Providing education.
The government doesn't do any of this well.
It has no incentive to providing you health care.
The government can't provide you.
They don't know anything about you.
Enforcing the law, sealing our border,
kicking foreign death to America's asses all over the place.
We do that better than anyone.
We can also fix elections.
This is the government's role.
President Joey Bag of Donuts was elected.
Was he really elected or they cheat?
If the American people are saying, I don't know, you failed.
You would think even Democrats would be on board who love big government saying, hey, law enforcement, military, border, contract law, court system, like elections.
Like these are basics.
I wrote this a note here.
By the way, you want to see this show that you want to talk about a total mess?
and I don't mean mess.
I had so much stuff to pack in.
I wrote in later.
Here, I'll show you this.
You see all these crazy arrows all over the way?
That's me.
I had so many thoughts in my head today.
You think like I love to.
I do the show myself.
Well, they do a little bit.
But all the content is mine.
They just put it into action.
I thought, even if you're a Democrat,
if you're a Democrat,
these are easy wins for you to make the point
that government can do good things.
Easy wins.
Clean up the streets, close the border,
have a badass military,
don't let people kill us with a nuclear weapon.
Justin, easy win?
Easy win?
Andy, easy win?
Gee, easy.
Gee's got a thing.
Easy wins, right?
Why would Democrats want elections
where nobody believes the winner's the winner?
Because they want to cheat,
because they don't care about good government, period.
Here's what I mean.
Here's our new attorney general, Todd Blanche.
talking about a pretty simple measure
President Trump put out in executive order.
Hey, if we mail a ballot to someone,
folks in the chat,
maybe it's a good idea that that person's an eligible voter
who requested a ballot,
or just crazy idea, I know.
The Democrats don't want it.
Because they tell you they believe in government
as this savior, this Messiah, this small G. God.
But they really don't believe that.
They hate government too.
They've got easy wins they don't want
because they know government sucks
and they want it to suck
as long as they're in power. Check this out.
There's already a lot of blowback from Democrats on this.
California governor Gavin Newsom's office calling this Orwellian,
and they're saying they're going to sue.
They're going to sue over this once again.
Is DOJ ready to defend again?
Yes, just like we've been ready.
And this is what President Trump,
this is what the American people expect President Trump
and expect this country be doing when it comes to election integrity
and making sure that we are extraordinarily vigilant
about who is voting and that they're eligible to vote.
It is surprising and disappointing that instead of working with us, instead of working to make sure that we have free and fair elections, you have governors like the governor in California.
You have these advocacy groups that are really just left-wing liberal groups that are immediately saying, oh, no, we're going to sue again.
Not with saying the fact the Supreme Court has already issued its stay.
And yes, we will keep on fighting that.
We want to make sure that every vote in this country is counted appropriately.
And that's what President Trump has told the American people.
going to do and we're certainly going to back him up with that from the department of justice.
Okay, two liberals in the chat. We know you're there.
Bongino Army folks in the chat, you see them every day. They're usually in there with some
dumb stuff. Dr. Rich, coexist, tolerance, some BS. We get it. We get, we see you in there.
I'm just asking a simple question. Why would the deep blue state of California, led by hair gel,
sue to keep government from doing an easy win basic function,
like making sure both Democrats and Republicans
trust that the outcome of an election is the actual outcome.
That's all this is.
There is nothing complicated about this executive order.
The answer is, tell me in the chat, you know what I says,
because they want to do what?
I'll wait, put in all caps.
What do Democrats want to do in elections?
Cheaters, yes.
cheating baggy goose cheating cheating cheating
Stehating Stella cheating it's now cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat cheat
I can't even see it Joe I'm just making names up because it's moving so fast right now
they want to cheat cheat cheat C-H-E-A-T cheat or if you're Brian Williams and Marigay
C-H-H-E-R-A-T
Cheat!
I thought they believed in good government.
This is an easy win, bro.
Do you know?
Listen to me.
We don't like Democrats.
We get it.
It's not personal.
Their politics.
Come here, right?
I'm a Republican.
We get it?
Can we all agree that you probably have a couple
Democrat friends, right?
Some of you.
I'm probably like, not a bad.
No, I know some people with Democrats, too.
I get it.
I get it.
I don't like instantly judge people
by their politics.
right can we all agree that if the government were to chalk up easy wins easy and i don't mean
easy and that they hard to get i mean easy political wins i don't mean like any stuff is it's obviously
difficult to get it there the strait of harmoose was not people put their lives on a lot but i mean
like easy when that even like crazy anti-american morons don't want gas at six dollars a gallon and
don't want the iranians controlling the street outside of the crazy lunatics i'm talking about political
messaging wins. Easy wins.
Military's badass.
Streets are clean. Streets are secure.
Elections work.
Borders are closed. These are easy
wins. Can we all agree that even
some Democrats who are sane
and work for living would be like,
hey man, that's just pretty good stuff. I don't care if Trump did
it or not. Like, government finally does something.
Ring the bells, man.
It's because they want to
cheat. They don't care
about good government.
They don't care.
at all, not even a little bit.
We had that video the other day we played,
the team inside of the lady walking down the street in New York.
Like, I've got this brown stuff.
I mean, it was human waste.
The government can't even clean human turds off the street.
They don't want good government.
They're gaslighting you.
What do they want?
What do they want?
Power.
Power.
And there's the lady.
She's like, if you're eating something, put it down because you want to throw up.
This is your version of good government?
Tirds in the street, criminals running wild, an open border, a defenestrated military,
straight of Hormuz dominated by death.
Oh, look at that.
That looks like, here's the great Scott Jennings on CNN.
I want you to watch this back and forth about mail and ballots.
And watch the gas lighting that goes.
on on liberal networks.
Again, CNN and others who are big government socialist.
That's all they are.
These are not journalists, trying to pretend to get,
and they just want good government.
They just want good government.
And the rich people should pay for it
because they don't pay any taxes.
You're like, well, that's not true.
It doesn't matter.
All they want, man, is power.
Here's Jennings and a great back and forth
about mail-in ballots.
And the problem with the mail-in ballots,
which are inherently less secure than voting in person,
is that in a lot of states,
they don't clean up their voting rolls, and they send out millions of mail-in ballots to people,
whether they ask for them or not.
And many addresses get multiple ballots, and there's a lot of live ballots out on the street.
These states refuse to clean up their voter rolls.
That's absolutely true.
And you have to ask yourself, why would you want fraudulent registrations on your voter rolls?
No one.
No one.
No one.
Folks, everything he's saying is true.
Why would you be so obsessed with basic security mechanisms for a mail-in ballot?
ballot process that takes away the election voting location as a security mechanism.
You put something in a mailbox.
Anybody could put it in the mailbox, correct?
Democrats in the chat, am I wrong?
Is the postman watching who puts the ballot man puts the little flag up on the mailbox?
No, it could be anybody.
When you show up to vote with voter ID, it's not 100%, but it's about 99%.
99% that you are the said person.
Why would you not want that?
Because you want to cheat and you want power.
Folks, these are easy wins.
Easy wins.
Safe streets, strong military, closed borders.
These are easy wins.
I promise you even sane Democrats would align with.
But they don't want sane Democrats.
They have no home in their own party.
I got a series of videos coming up.
to see lunatics, they're all short.
You want to see outright lunatic.
You know what? Play one now. It's good. Because I want to get this.
Sorry, I'm a little bitch today.
By the way, for those of you're new to show, you wonder why I'm, my elbows don't work.
So I have to, like, contort myself to even, like, itch my face.
My elbows just don't work anymore. It's a long story.
But I've got that. Well, why does he move so weird? Because I can't move.
That's why I'm, like falling apart. I told you.
I'm like a rotting bag of a meat carcass.
Put that, Asson Piker. We've had enough of this guy.
I haven't.
Sorry.
Go back and watch yesterday's show.
I love it.
I've even seen some Republicans.
They're like, we know, stop playing clips.
No, no, nope.
Not doing it.
Sorry.
The Democrats wanted this guy because he ginned up, you know, the youth vote.
They wanted this guy because what did they say?
Like Jared Polis yesterday, Democrat governor of Colorado.
Hey, it's a big tent.
Jamie Raskin, Democrat Lunatic.
Oh, it's a big tent.
Yeah, you want this guy in your tent?
Yeah, maybe a big tent.
But if you've got a serial killer in there, it's probably a problem, right?
It's who you have in your tent.
Not suggesting he is a serial killer.
You get my point, though?
Who's in the tent matters?
You want this guy in your tent?
Listen to this about how he hates America.
He didn't say that.
Okay, check it out.
What I don't understand is why you claim you're brave.
I say I hate America all the time.
A lot of motherfuckers want to kill me over that take.
But at least I say it with my fucking chest, people will be like Hassan.
You hate America.
I'm like, yeah, I do.
I do hate America.
People will be like Assange, you hate cops.
They say, yeah, I do.
Why?
I'm not a pussy.
He's not a, really.
I guarantee you most of the cops out there.
I'll just leave that there.
I think you know exactly where I'm going with that.
I have some Republican, not a lot of lot, but some Republicans have said,
yeah, maybe we should stop playing at it.
No, no.
Yesterday's show was titled, glue it to them.
No, you're glued to this guy now.
You wanted him.
You told us you want them.
It's a big tent.
It's a big tent.
Here.
Right, right.
Says like a guy who's loaded and made a whole fortune off people who now hates rich people,
thinks cops are, and, oh, okay, hates America.
Glue it to them.
Why?
Because they're telling you to glue it to them.
Pull Jamie Raskin.
Here's Democrat lunatic congressman for Maryland.
I had the unfortunate experience of being around this guy when I ran in Maryland politics.
of all the canoes in Congress.
This guy, this guy's like,
you ever did it out like a damn?
This guy's, he's the one like, row, row.
This is him.
This guy is the lead canoe dude.
This is it.
Here's Jamie Ruskin.
It's a big 10.
A big a Thanksgiving table.
It's a big 10.
Okay.
Then you can answer for that.
Do you hate America?
How do you feel about cops, Jamie?
I thought you said it was a big tent.
Check this out.
party is a very big tent.
It's a very big tent because there are a lot of people in it.
And they're just like any big family Thanksgiving dinner,
there are going to be arguments and people jostling
and there's unrulyness.
But fundamentally, we all believe in democracy and freedom
and the progress and prosperity of our people.
And I've been very impressed by Abdul's extraordinary career
as a public health servant.
Great.
Abdul campaigns with the guy who says he hates America
and thinks cops are, hmm, glue it to them.
No, folks, there's no getting away from it.
None.
Zero.
Glue it to them like a sticky note.
This guy campaigns with people who hate America,
hate our military, and hate police officers.
That's it.
It's not going anywhere.
I know what you're thinking.
too, some of you. Some of you who are lefties in the chat may be saying, well, why are we making
it about one guy? So Justin said, I'll do your favor. We'll make it about other guys too.
I said, really? He said in pre-production, the RNC research team put out this montage of other
lunatic Democrats saying even crazy. I thought it was about just one guy. I thought there's one guy.
I saw it, I'm going to do you a favor. Justin's like, I'm going to do you a favor. Are they in the
big tent too? Here is a montage.
Hat-tip R&C research, putting it again.
We put it all into one big supercutts.
It's like a minute or so.
But here is a montage of other lunatic Democrats
calling for violence, death, destruction.
Are they in your tent, too?
Is that the big test?
At the Thanksgiving dinner?
Is that all fat Barney?
Sharing is scary.
You like hugging each other?
Who's in the 10?
Fair question, right?
I thought it's just one guy.
Play the montage.
I am going to kill Donald Trump.
I mean, I'm going to obtain a conviction
rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt,
resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.
That man cannot see public office again.
He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy,
and he has to be eliminated.
He has to be eliminated.
They expect us to take the punch and say, thank you.
Well, I am here to tell you that only.
Are we gonna punch back?
But we about to beat you down.
Fighting fire with fire.
I'm gonna punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.
Oh, amen to that.
I just, I think, thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
If they go low, we don't go high.
We take them to the mud and choke them out.
When they go low, we're gonna bury them below the Capitol.
That's what we're gonna do.
He needs to be shot.
Heds do need to roll, certainly within the administration.
It's about fucking timely 86 Trump.
We are warm.
Where did we did?
Dude, where'd you find that?
so crazy. It's just one guy. It's just Asan Pryk who's in one guy.
Assam Pryk was not even elected. These are elected officials working for a government.
They put their right hand on a Bible or whatever or our left hand on the right hand and
swore an oath to office. These are people in your government calling for violence,
President Trump's death. I don't know it's just one guy. They're part of the tent? Fat Barney.
Shearing. Is that for Fat Barney?
You all with sharing is caring? You all in the tent?
We singing? We singing together?
What's going on here?
We're watching Caveman's television to fire, singing camp songs about killing Donald Trump.
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
I thought it was one guy.
I thought they care about good government.
It's all about tolerance.
It's all about coexistence.
It's all about coexistence with people we like, everyone else we kill.
That should be a, I'll tell you what.
If I don't sell bumper stickers, we should say,
a Republican bumper sticker.
Coexist, right?
And be thinking,
I'm not, that's not how to a liberal thing.
And then put the asterisk at the bottom and go,
according to Democrats,
that means murdering everyone else
you don't want to coexist with.
That's what we should put at the bottom.
We should sell those.
Someone out there is a bumper sticker company,
do that.
There you go.
Tolerance, bumper sticker, asterisk,
but kill everyone else we don't tolerate.
There you go.
There you go.
Just an idea.
Stop it.
Get some help.
Please.
Get some help.
Please get some help.
Folks, we can't have a country like this.
We really can't.
We can't have a country like this.
Where you have one party, this Republican MAGA-led coalition,
then you have the Democrats where 60% are like, have lost their minds and 20% want to murder us.
Like, that's not a thing.
That's not a thing.
Unfortunately, it's a thing.
We can't let be a thing.
Folks, the lunacy gets even crazier.
these people say the quiet part out loud.
Quick break. I'm going to show you another short
video. You think I'm kidding about what these people
want to do? They tell you what they want to do.
I'm here warning you.
The guy in the beginning of the show, I'm not your only hope.
You're it. You're it. You're it guys. And ladies, you're it.
Take the message and go evangelize the cause. It's not about,
I'm just the microphone guy.
Quick break. I'm going to show you what I mean this other video.
If you're in a union or a working-class Democrat,
you better listen to what this guy's talking about
because you'll thank me later
if you change your mind
and vote for people who are going to save your butt
from lunatics like this.
Hey, I've been telling you about all family pharmacy
for a while now.
You know the name.
You heard me talk about them because I use them.
You've helped me many times.
But here's my question.
Have you actually gone to the website?
Seriously, go and take a look.
They can help you out because we all have a guy for everything.
You know that.
Your car breaks down.
You get a mechanic.
You two-star turning.
Call your dentist.
You wake up one morning and need medication
to know what's your plan. That's why I keep telling you guys about all family pharmacy. I use them,
use them often. They're a complete pharmacy you can access from home. You can find everything from
everyday maintenance medications and antibiotics to gLP ones, NAD, peptides, and a whole lot more.
They handle the entire process too. You complete a secure online medical form, a licensed physician
reviews your request, and if appropriate, writes the prescription, ships it right to your door.
So here's my challenge. Just go browse the website. Check it out. I bet you'll find at least
one medication you want to have on hand. Go today to all family pharmacy.com slash bongino.
Use code bonjino 10 to save 10%. That's all family pharmacy.com slash bonjino. Code
Bongino 10 or call 561 717-6794. Prescription required. Always consult a medical professional
for taking any medication. This is not medical advice. Here's what I'm talking about.
You have a choice, folks. There is a choice. That's when an election is. Elections are choices. You're
in control. This country operates by consent of the governed. The governed are you and they require
your consent. Your consent is your vote. I'm warning you about these lunatics. It's not just Hassan
Piker. And no, they're not letting it go. And I'm not letting it go. We're going to glue it to them.
I just showed you this supercut of all of these lunatics talking about beatings and punching people
and kicking the crap out of people. You want to die? You want to die? The easiest way to die is to go live in a
city with a high crime rate run by Democrats who want to defund the police. The second easiest way is to
turn your health care over to the government. So a bureaucrat on the phone when you're having a heart
attack can tell you to go pound sand and hang up on you. I can't tell you enough that this Medicare
for all thing they're proposing is a government monopoly on health care where everything you worked for
to get your insurance plan where you want it now is done. It will be illegal. Sometimes they actually
tell you that. Here's Democrat Senate candidate up in Maine, Troy Jackson, who was supposed to be like
the more moderate alternative to the Nazi tattoo guy. Here he is telling you he's about to cancel your
insurance plan. Check it out. Let's say, for example, let's say we have Democratic control of the
House, the Senate, and ultimately the White House. What would you like to see done in the first
100 days of full Democratic control? Medicare for all. You know, I mean, that's been always my guiding thing.
I'm known as a labor person in Maine, and I am.
But health care is like the number one problem for people that I care about.
He's the labor person, he's saying.
Folks, can we all take a second?
Into the nose, out through the mouth.
It's good to breathe through the nose.
You get nitric oxide.
Check it out.
Don't be a mouth breather.
This guy is looking you in the face.
If he wins, he will have a vote in the United States Senate,
the world's most powerful deliberative body over your health care.
He's claiming to be for labor, union folks, hardworking Americans,
busting their ass, carpenters, HVAC guys, rail workers, grave diggers.
He's claiming, I'm your guy, while simultaneously claiming,
yeah, man, government-run health care for you.
I didn't bargain for that.
Listen, union folks out there, I know you be.
been coming over to the Republican Party in droves.
That's how I knew Donald Trump was going to win in 2016.
You doubt me, go listen to my podcast from the night before when everybody said he was going
to lose.
Go listen.
It's still there.
I think it's on SoundCloud.
I knew it because my brother's in a union.
And he told me, my brother was in a union dominated by Democrats.
My brother called me about three weeks before the election.
I can't believe it.
I was at the union hall and everyone's voting for Trump.
I was like, his thing's over.
People were laughing.
Washington Post wrote an article by Aaron Blake and Chris Saliza.
Donald Trump's chances of winning are approaching zero.
I said, okay, good luck with that.
I knew he was going to win.
To the union folks still sticking with the Democrat party,
they're not democratic at all.
Stop.
Get some help.
Get some help.
They're about to steal your health care.
Does that bother you or not?
If the answer is yes, you voted for the wrong guy.
Folks, here's another thing I'm going to warn you about.
Do you want to talk about a kick in the gonads?
The Democrats' next big push, this is the flags in the chat.
Flags in the chat.
I don't know flags.
Well, flags.
For those of you there for that, those are one of the finer moments in the show.
You had have been there.
Had it had been there.
It's like the goofy glue incident.
It ought to be there.
Here is flags in the chat.
Here's going to be the next big thing if the Democrats get power.
You may say, I never really heard it up.
before. If you listen to the show, you've heard of it. Do you know what a VAT is? No, not like a vat
of like oil or anything. A VAT short for value added tax. Never heard of it. You're going to right now,
this is going to be the liberal lunatics next big push. What is a value added tax? Long and short of it is.
It is a tax built into every single level of production for a product. In other words, you buy,
what do I have on? On cloud sneakers on right now or something? You don't wear my
my bad knee, right?
Every level of production, the shoelace maker, the plastic tips at the end of the shoelace maker,
the rubber sole maker, the rubber maker who gets them the sole, the fabric, the little like
grommets or whatever go in through the holes, if that's what they're called.
Every single one of those people is going to pay a tax to each other and they do this
complicated math.
And at the end, it winds up on your receipt as the end user as a big and, you know,
enormous consumption tax. Why do Democrats want a value- what is it like a sales tax? No, it is,
but it isn't. There's complicated processes where you deduct what you paid from what you pay from
another guy, from what they pay you. Why are they going to all this for a value-added tax to
complicate your life and run small businesses out of town? Here's why. There is a thing called
Hauser's law. It's not Hauser's idea. It's Hauser's law. You can look it up if you like.
I think it's H-A-U-S-E-R, Hauser's Law.
It's the principle that in the United States,
because our taxes are visible, you get a pay stub.
You see what you paid in taxes.
That the people in the United States are generally not going to pay more than 20% of their income collectively to the government.
And when you look at a graph over time, no matter what the tax rates were, 90%, 20%, 20%, 70%, 70%, 20%,
no matter what they are, the amount of money that comes into the government is a percentage of GDP is roughly around 20%.
There it is.
Thank you.
Hauser's Law is the economic observation
that U.S. federal tax revenue
has stayed close to 19.5 of GDP
regardless of changes in marginal tax rates.
How could that be?
How could the tax revenue
as a percentage of the economy stay the same
if the tax rates were 90% versus 20?
It's simple.
Because when they're 90%, nobody pays it.
Rich people decide their money and pay nothing.
Well, what happens when they're 20%?
When they're 20%,
rich people put their money back in the economy,
taking advantage of low tax rates,
and tax revenue starts to flood in.
It always works.
They're not paying more than 20%.
Here's the kicker.
What does that have to do with the VAT?
Well, it's strange,
but if you read this Wall Street Journal article,
the Europeans have managed to milk out of their citizens
30% of GDP.
How did they violate Houser's law?
The answer is, because a VAT is largely hidden.
At levels of production, you'll never see.
You just get a bill in the,
end and you don't realize you're paying everyone else's bill too folks flag it if they win all of those
people out there in the middle class who are voting democrat thinking the tolerance coexist party
here's the joseph sternberg this guy writes great pieces on economics in the journal very very nonpartisan
beware the coming consumption tax storm in america as the fiscal crisis becomes more acute expect
new calls for a european style that resist you damn right resist
the VAT will soak, drench the middle class,
absolutely drenched the middle class.
Everything you buy, you are going to get rinsed, bro.
Bank on it.
Take that check to the bank and cash it,
because what I'm telling you is true.
All right, I wanted to wrap up with this because I saw this on Fox this morning.
Listen, I know there's a lot going on with the Canadians and tariffs and all this stuff,
But I'm going to tell you something.
When I was doing the last job there,
my dealings with the RCMP, Royal Canadian Mounted Police,
they were always very on the level.
No one ever got into politics
because we were fighting things like terrorism
and bad guys that could cross the border.
It was now, we never had political conversations.
We just didn't.
And the RCMP guys I work with, you know who you are.
We worked on really high-profile stuff, huge stuff,
really, really big stuff.
It's a damn shame that the,
CBC, the broadcasting company up in Canada,
has now decided to go full, crazy, and woke.
I mean, you want to talk away,
regardless of your feelings about America, President Trump,
you want to talk about a major slap.
And we're going to have economic fights, tariffs, other things,
like, America, they're fine, have you.
Terrorism and, like, don't get, you know, don't get dead,
that's not any of this.
Like, that should stay out of it.
Here's the CBC, Fox and Friends,
covered this this morning,
now demanding that their outlets,
if they refer to 9-11, putting like an asterisk next to it,
like this is like FBI alleged terrorism.
Like, what?
I'm pretty sure of flying planes into a building,
killing 3,000 missing people screening.
Alahu Akbar is pretty much the definition of terrorism.
Just throwing that out there.
No.
Yeah.
Check this out.
Canadian Broadcast Corporation, the CBC.
They issued an internal memo to all of their journalists
ahead of the 9-11 25th anniversary,
instructing their journalists to not describe 9-11 as a terrorist attack without attribution.
So if you do say it's terrorist like, you have to say, well, the FBI says.
We don't want to be the ones to say it.
We want to describe them as hijackings or the September 11th attacks.
So they're complete idiots.
And if they don't know what terrorism is, then they should go over to their special forces, JTOF2,
who has stood by us since 9-11 to fight terrorism.
They know what it is because they're Canadians, their special forces, and they fall next to our
Delta Force, our Navy SEALs, Green Berets to fight terrorism when we were attacked.
I think this is idiotic.
I think they know what they're doing.
I think they're trying to be woke.
But I don't think that resonates with their military who stands side by side with ours.
You're friends with a lot of the military.
A lot of them up there.
Good man, Lawrence Jones.
God bless Lawrence in his recovery.
He's had some pretty down.
devastating procedures on his eye.
So you see him with glasses there.
Lord's a good man.
Good for you.
I'm going to tell you another good man.
Guy was proud to work with.
My friend FBI director, Cash Patel,
who was furious about this last night.
Put out this ex post about this thing.
Any agency in Canada.
Any agency in Canada
that doesn't publicly reject this bastardization of history.
and an insult to the soul's loss during our largest terror attack in U.S. history will no longer have a friend in this FBI, not to mention our heroes that responded in the aftermath. We'll never forget. 9-11. You're damn right.
Folks, again, you know, we can do big things collectively as a people. And I don't mean collectivism in the socialist way. We do have a government, you know, Federalist 51. If men were angels, they are not angels. You do need some form of people.
basic structure out there, law enforcement, borders, our military, a contract system.
We can do basic things government does better. The Democrats don't want it to do better.
I'm going to throw this other tweet out there by Cash to show you just something simple.
We did. We did. That didn't involve big, all-powerful government that actually involved your
communities. When I got in there, I had been a, I think I'm the only person who's ever been
an NYPD guy, Secret Service, A, and an NNFPI agent. I'm pretty sure. So I understood local
policing. Cash did too. So we went in there and we were like, hey, guys, we need to work with local
police officers. Why? Because they're the ones that know everything. We've got a great sheriff down
here in Martin County. Who do you think? Guys been a deputy or a sheriff for close to like 20 years.
Who are we to come in here? Oh, who do you FBI? We're in charge. You're in charge. So one of the
things we did, drop that expose with cash, is cash allocated a ton of resources towards building new
task forces with local police officers.
It's right there in his tweet.
You can read about it yourself.
Why?
Because the way to do good government
is to rely on government
where it's most local.
Subsidiarity.
They know more than us.
Listen, a lot of the FBI
we had there did great, great work.
But they'll tell you, some of these guys got,
you know, you got hired in the FBI economy,
get through Quantico, and you're from Anchorage,
Alaska, and they send you to Fort Pierce
in Florida. You get there, you don't know
anything about Fort Pierce. It's not your problem.
I mean, it's not your fault.
It's a problem.
So what do you do?
You go and work with the locals.
In the past, the relationship was, you know, locals.
No, no, they're it.
They're the backbone of law enforcement.
You want to make government better?
Shrink it.
Go to the people that matter.
Seek input from real SMEs, subject matter experts.
It's not what government does under the Democrats.
Not at all.
They do the opposite.
it. By the way, I see some of you people asking, some of you folks asking about the shirts.
If you want them, store it up on gino.com. We've got 1776. The stupid is a choice. Don't be stupid.
We've got 250 years of kicking ass, liberty and freedom. Store it up on gino.com. Up to you if you want to buy them.
And, you know, Apollo loves doing that project. So for you guys, we don't put our shirts all the time, only when we think we have a good idea.
You know, also we're doing our 1776 contest. Once a week, we're giving away $1,776.
to a viewer of the show who's present for the live chat.

We pick a comment of the day every day.
Our comment of the day today is Stacey SSG.
Damn, what I missed.
Crasch from the damn flag.
Did we crash the chat from the flags?
Did we tear it up?
Listen, this is, I'm going to tell you something.
This is the busiest show on Rumble when it comes to live streamers.
So if we need to test some kind of like potential bug or something,
we will go, I will ask people to go into the chat
because we have so many people we can actually like load test this show elsewhere.
Stacey, congrats.
You can contact us there and we'll tell you how it works out, all right?
Today is also Friday.
So producer Jim and the team put together our Democrat Zen moment of the day.
It's a moment at the end of a Friday to try to lead you into the weekend with peace and calm.
You know, I heard five minutes of meditation changes your brain waves.
This is less than five minutes of meditation.
Warning in advance, especially because we're on radio now, too.
There's probably some language in this, but I haven't seen it.
I only see it when you do.
Check this.
Your Democrat Zen moment of the day.
A peaceful moment to center your mind.
Oh, no, not this one.
Oh, my gosh, not this one.
This clip is driving everyone crazy.
No.
Jim, I'm glad you did it, but I quietly look at this lunatic.
This is the, this woman is the nominee for U.S. Senate in Oklahoma.
Mark Wayne Mullen is a terrible, lady.
He's the DHS secretary.
Look at this lunatic.
The burn.
This has been Democrats in.
Folks, Dana Perino said this on the five the other day.
day. If you work at a cable news network, Fox or OAN or Newsmax, this clip was playing over and over.
I did a hit with Jesse Waters. And that, and I, I wasn't paying attention for a second. I was
taking a note about the hit. And all I heard was some lunatic screaming in my ear. I swear to you on
my life, asked the van operator who was there with the studio van. He was like, what the hell was that?
Dana said it yesterday in a five. She's like, please stop playing this clip.
It's blowing everyone's ear drums out.
The lady's crazy.
The sooner socialist lunatic, the burn big.
She's a nut.
It is killing everyone in cable news.
If someone in cable news is in the chat,
you don't have to say who you are.
Some of you are now, I know.
Some of you watch the show.
It's okay.
Just say yes, you're correct.
Everybody in cable news hates this clip.
But now you hate it too.
You're listening on radio.
You're like, why did I have to suffer through that?
All right, folks.
