Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with
your host, Dan Bongino.
Folks, this is the genius of Trump, right?
He puts his political opponents in these classic dilemmas where they're, it's essentially,
if you want to look this up, most of you kind of know what it means anyway.
I don't mean to sound like an arrogant ass, but you know what a Hobson's choice is?
It's a choice that's really no choice at all.
In other words, like you could take this horse or no horse at all.
Well, that's not really a choice.
You have to take the horse, right?
Donald Trump, the genius of Trump.
Again, I'm not saying everything's 4D chess, but I'm saying a lot of it is that the media misses
is he puts his political opponents into classic dilemmas where either choice is bad.
Who was I? Someone said it the other day was it Gutfeld on the five? I'm not really sure. Someone
on the five brought it up that he did Another genius component, tactical political component of
Trump is that he gets his opponents to vigorously support an issue that only 15% of America,
i.e. the communist crazy support, and he gets them to do it vigorously just as a reflexive
anti-Trump response. I have a name for that. I've been calling it the show your ass theory.
How it just becomes all about fighting Trump at the expense of rationality.
I want to show you what I mean at the beginning of the show about again, this government spending
issue, how he has the Democrats unbelievably.
They're usually smarter than this, tactically speaking, defending the indefensible. And I'll explain for new Lenu, thanks to my man, Cat Turd.
It was meant to be a joke, but it blew up yesterday.
I think it was like two or three each on Twitter.

All right, fellas, ring that bell.
There you go.
So just quickly, I love my friend.
Cat Turd on Twitter is the best, probably one of the top five,
maybe the top most influential up there
with Libs at TikTok, accounts on X,
can move the needle instantly.
So I was joking yesterday about this gentleman
who has become a national hero,
standing up to the raving banshees
at this government building, back seed waters.
I need to identify yourself.
Immediately, This guy,
and what did you call him? Justin, the most unbothered man
in America. So because he's, you know, this guy's probably a
low key guy doesn't want his name out there. I understand. So
I said, Listen, we need to give this guy a medal under the
moniker for new Lenu for new Lenu cat turd, I asked him to
make it go viral. I was kind of kidding, but he did.
It was trending on Twitter all night.
You go look it up.
Fennu Lanou is a law enforcement term
when you don't know the name of the person you're targeting.
It stands for first name unknown, last name unknown.
So out of respect for this gentleman,
we're going to call him Fennu Lanou.
Fennu Lanou, you are a national hero.
We all love you.
Thank you for standing up for sanity
against the raving Democrat lunatics.
So for those of you tuned in to decipher
what Fennu Lanou meant, that is it.
And a big hat tip to Cat Turd for making that go viral.
The guy's got crazy juice on X, man.
All right, getting back to what I opened the show with.
Listen, Donald Trump has a lot of political superpowers.
He does the ability to the ability to make his enemies so
angry that they engage in irrational behavior just to look like
they're targeting him. It's an incredible thing to watch.
You know, someone put this thing out on X this morning and said,
if you're a P one listener in the Bongino Army, you'll get this.
You can check it out.
Just put my name in X.
You'll see it.
It's in there somewhere.
It's a guy putting a dollar or whatever in a Coke machine.
It doesn't come out.
He's kicking the Coke machine.
Now I got it.
So whoever put that up there, you clearly a P1.
I got you, bro.
I see.
I know exactly what you're doing.
I've talked about this extinction burst phenomenon over and over.
Bear with me. I promise. I'm not going to bore you to doing. I've talked about this extinction burst phenomenon over and over bear with me
I promise I'm not gonna bore you to death with psychology terms
But this matters an extinction burst you can look it up on your favorite search engine right now is a very real thing
It's when you engage in a behavior dollar in the coke machine
You get a reward the coke and then all of a sudden you put a dollar in one day
It doesn't come out behavior. No reward
What happens people do irrational things. Like what? They kick the
coke machine like that's going to fix the problem. You break it, that's a crime. It's not rational,
but they do it anyway. Animals do it all the time, human beings. That is what's going on right now
with the Democrats. In the past, they have engaged in this behavior to dollar in the coke machine.
Just call them a racist, go to the media and say grandma's gonna starve to death and have to eat cat food
show a video of grandma getting thrown over the cliff and
Governments and government will be continued
government will continue to waste fraud and abuse away our money and no one will pay attention and
Republicans back down because they were afraid not only is Donald Trump and Elon Musk do doge not back down when they were afraid. Not only is Donald Trump and Elon Musk, through Doge, not back down when they get, they double down.
And they say, hey, we're going to the military,
Pentagon next, we're going to the Department of Education.
So what happens?
The Democrats are so used to the reward,
dollar in the coke machine, coke.
When the coke doesn't come out,
they're kicking and screaming at the machine,
totally irrationally, and now Trump has them in this corner.
I really hope you enjoyed this explanation because I'd like this to go nuclear if you can make it
up to you but it absolutely explains human psychology and the irrationality
of politics and what the Democrats are doing right now. They were in a corner.
They are defending the indefensible. They are defending clear government waste.
Sex changes in Guatemala, Peruvian LGBTQ
operas. It doesn't matter how much money it is. It matters that it's our money.
You know, if Guy were to come up to me and go, Dan, I'm gonna put in an order for
72,000 rolls of toilet paper. It's probably not, it's not gonna affect our
bottom line that much, but it's a waste. What the hell you need that for?
What'd you do?
Like have a bad meal or something?
I mean, why would you need that?
This is what the Democrats don't understand.
When people hear $2 million for Guatemalan sex changes, they're thinking,
you know what I could do with that $2 million?
I could buy a homeless veteran a million dollar home twice over.
I'd get him a summer home too. The Democrats are too stupid because they're
used to getting the coke out of the machine. It's not happening. So they're
whining like children not realizing that they're in this dilemma which is this.
Defend the indefensible government waste or don't defend it and watch your
gravy train dry up. In other words, let Elon weed out the government waste or don't defend it and watch your gravy train dry up. In other
words, let Elon weed out the government waste in conjunction with the Trump
administration and the government waste has been wasted on Democrat causes which
is gonna dry up their gravy train. Do you understand the classic dilemma? Defend it,
lose political power, don't defend it, lose economic power.
You get it?
Do you understand the genius of what Trump and Elon are doing here?
They are in a totally, completely untenable position.
And now that we are the media now, we are the media.
Elon owns X and this podcast, War Room, Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, the Magosphere, we're the media now.
We dominate the media.
Megyn Kelly, Tucker, the left doesn't have the voice to compete with us anymore.
So they can't even whine about it.
Folks, receipts matter.
This is the freaking receipt show.
I don't say I can't back up.
You think I'm kidding that they're defending the indefensible?
That this is so unbelievably unpopular that even for stupid liberals, it's incredible
how irrational they're acting right now in this extinction burst?
Here's a CNN clip.
Yes, CNN.
You know, we play this guy often. He appears to be relatively unbiased when it comes at least left-wing media.
Here he is with a poll showing Donald Trump's approval rating is basically through the roof right now, and the Democrats are getting their asses kicked,
but they're continuing to kick the Coke machine because they just can't stop the extinction burst. Watch this.
You know, I think one of the things that's so important for politicians is for folks
to believe what they're saying and that they're keeping their campaign promises.
So I think this gives you a pretty gosh darn good idea of what may be going on.
Trump's doing what he promised to do.
You go back to April of 2017, it was just 46% of all Americans who said that Trump was doing
what he promised to do. Compare that now to February of 2025. You know, there was a good
show that was on during the 1990s called A Different World. That is what's going on right
now. We're living in a different world. 70% of Americans say Trump is doing what he promised
to do. Again, compare that to April of 2017, when it's just 46%.
When Americans are 24 points more likely to say that you're doing what you promised to
do, it's no wonder that your net approval rating is much more likely to be on the positive
side of the ledger than on the negative side.
Brothers and sisters in the Bongino army. Receipts matter, man.
It's a CNN guy talking about a poll. It's not Fox News or bongino.com.
This is the, I'm telling you, of all of the superpowers
Donald Trump has politically, he has many.
He has weaknesses too, like anyone else.
His greatest superpower is forcing Democrats into
extinction burst behavior where either choice they make is a Hobson's choice, there's no choice at
all because they're both bad. Defend sex changes in Guatemala or don't do it and lose your ability
to engage in identity politics and profit from it around the world. Either way brother, you lose.
identity, politics, and profit from it around the world. Either way, brother, you lose. Either way.
You think I'm kidding how this is just the beginning? We are the media now. I don't say that. I know some people complain it sounds arrogant. Number one, I don't care because it's
not intended that way at all. You notice when I mentioned the Magosphere, I never mentioned just myself.
I mentioned other creators too,
because it's not about me, it's about us, I mean that.
You got Charlie, you got Benny, you got Bannon,
you got Meg and Kelly, you got Tucker.
You've got a bunch of great shows out there to pick from.
I'm not the only one.
I'm honored you're here, but you don't have to be here.
There's other choices as well, or just as talented. But we are the media now. The collective audience between those people, Fox News,
Newsmax, and OANN is more than enough to compete and override the traditional mainstream media.
There's not, they are powerless to hurt us anymore. They can't avoid hiding stuff like this. I want you to watch this.
So last night, I'm upstairs in this little office room I have.
I watched some TV at night because it's dark.
Who cares?
Why am I telling you this?
But I'm sitting there and I'm going through doing some show prep.
And I see this clip by excellent Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.
This is again about US government money going to fund something so abhorrent
that when you hear it, this little clip, it's about 30 seconds.
I promise you're going to think it's fake.
I actually texted the congresswoman to be sure this was real.
It's real.
The Democrats, do you want to defend this?
Listen to what your money was used to fund.
We'll talk about it on the other side and you'll see how Trump getting them to defend this stuff
is just the epitome of tactical political power. Watch this.
... implant aborted baby parts into lab animals. Have you heard of that sort of research?
Yeah, we did an analysis a few years ago showing that over 90% of
Experiments with using human fetal tissue and putting them involved
Animals were funded by Fauci's niad. Do you know where they're getting the aborted human fetal tissue?
A lot of it is happening at colleges and universities that have affiliate
Affiliated hospitals that perform that procedure
Madam chair, I think we need to look into that as well. Oh colleges and universities that have affiliated hospitals that perform that procedure.
Madam Chair, I think we need to look into that as well.
Oh, Madam Chair, I think you do.
Thank you, Congresswoman Boebert, for pointing that out.
A boarded human baby tissue into like animals?
I'm telling you, I'm not messing with you.
I thought that was fake. I
Had a texter and be like is this real? This is an AI, right?
That actually actually happened
This is what your tax dollars are funding
You the Democrats are you really sure?
For the umpteenth time this is the hill you want to die on?
They're out there bragging all day, we're suing in the courts to keep human fetal parts
implanted into animal wombs or whatever.
They're suing to defend all of this stuff.
Or NIH overpayments were suing the defendant
and they really think this is a winner.
This is why I'm gonna throw something out of you.
I need you all to listen to me for a second.
Hold on, I'm gonna black out for you.
I need everybody to listen in.
Listening good, okay?
How's my grandma?
Listen and listen good.
My grandmother got mad at me.
I love you, grandma.
and listen, my grandmother got mad at me.
I love you, grandma.
Don't panic over the Democrats' use of the judicial system
to engage in lawfare. There's zero question these judges have so far overstepped,
and I'm gonna get to it more
coming up in my lawfare segment.
No question about it.
But we knew they were gonna do this. It's sad we have to deal
with fake judges in robes who are usurping the power of the executive and the legislative branch.
I mean, it's sad, it's tragic, but it's not a surprise. We know the Democrats are communists.
We know they engage in lawfare. Okay, Dan, when does a good part come? The only salvation to this is why I'm telling you don't lose a ton of sleep over this
We may not win them all but we're gonna win a whole bunch of them
There is no question that if the presidency matters and the Constitution matters
That we are gonna eventually get a judge who's going to say, wait, this judge in Rhode Island
Said that Donald Trump can't execute functions of the executive branch. And here's why I'm telling you not to freak out
It's going to empower Trump for the rest of the presidency as this makes its way up the judicial ladder
Possibly to the Supreme Court because there's going to be nowhere for them to go. The Democrats that have done this before
may incredibly be kicking themselves in the Jimmy again
because it's only two weeks in,
they're wasting a ton of money and time
suing for every little thing.
And if six months in, they lose 90 out of 100 of these cases,
Donald Trump will have re-instituted the constitutional power of the presidency.
Again, the Democrats kicking themselves in the nuts.
Don't sue, let it go through, and you lose because Donald Trump shows government waste.
Sue and lose, which you're going to, on many of these, and you empower Donald Trump for three more years
by the time these things are done.
Don't freak out over it.
It sucks that they can do this.
These temporary restraining orders nationally are a joke.
Clarence Thomas has been fighting
against these things forever.
But wouldn't it be great if not only the executive,
it happens to be Donald Trump for the next four years,
is empowered constitutionally
and these national temporary restraining orders get tossed out too. That's why I'm telling you,
move fast, rock them, sock them robots, keep it going and keep the Democrats on their heels.
The rock them, sock them robots will continue folks. There is a major thing coming.
You think the fight started now over
Guatemalan sex changes and USAID.
I'm gonna tell you as not bigger,
the USAID fight is huge
because it's the Deep State piggy bank.
However, and if you missed my interview
with Mike Benz yesterday,
it'll be on the podcast channel next weekend on radio.
It was amazing. Benz blew
the door off this whole thing. Elon Musk is moving on to the Pentagon next. Folks, you think we've
had liberal communist backlash now? But damn, Democrats don't like defense spending. Hold on.
Time out. I'm not talking about this isn't a Democrat Republican show.
It's an anti swamp show.
There are a lot of weapons programs that don't work where money where billions of
dollars have been wasted.
Those weapons programs are made in very specific congressional districts.
Wait till that waste gets uncovered.
You think you you just see seeing the beginning of the backlash.
So get ready, buckle up.
Let me take a quick break and I'll show you what I mean.
A video by Secretary Hegset that went out yesterday
that he's done with this too.

Okay
Get ready folks again this show well yesterday. I told you what we weren't gonna talk about we weren't gonna do Super Bowl stuff
So, you know in case you're new to the show, I welcome you here.
I love that you're here.
Thank you very much.
But I have to be candid with you.
If you're here expecting a Democrat, Democrat, Democrat,
we're going to leave swampy Republicans alone show,
this isn't the show.
You know my adage on the show.
Democrats are the cause of all your problems,
even though Republicans may not always be the solution.
And when they're not the solution, I'm going to point it out.
Defense spending is going to cause an absolute riot in D.C.
Do you have any idea how many congressmen are making a fortune off of donors, future
lobbying careers, off major military industrial complex weapons programs that don't work in
their district.
I'm not knocking the defense industry. Thank you for producing the AR-15 I own.
Thank you for producing the world's best tanks. I'm not knocking you. I do want an efficient
military, however, and we have been wasting a lot of money. Here's Secretary Hegseth.
He's absolutely done with this, folks. He's kind of wondering why is it the Pentagon can't pass an audit?
Seems pretty strange, right?
Time to get on board.
Check this out.
So tell us about this upcoming look at the spending at the Defense Department.
Should we expect hundreds of billions of dollars in wasteful spending there?
Unfortunately, I think so.
And we very much the president is right
he's setting the pace and he is also correct that American taxpayers deserve
to know exactly how and where their money is spent. The fact that I have to
commit Maria to an audit being done in four years is bad enough. The Pentagon
should be able to pass a budget right now. Thankfully the Marine Corps has
passed a clean audit for two years in a row and I applaud applaud them. But that needs to go across the entire department.
So that will be a focus.
Where we spend dollars, we need to know,
when we spend dollars, we need to know
where they're going and why.
That's simple accounting, and that has not existed
at the Defense Department.
We're gonna fix that.
But that's not even Doge.
I mean, we welcome Elon Musk and Doge
coming into our department to help us identify
additional ways
in which we can streamline processes,
fast track acquisitions, cut waste, cut tail
to put it to tooth.
Secretary Heng says overseas now PT
and with our brave men and women in the military over there.
By the way, hat tip United States Marine Corps
for actually passing on it.
Yeah, I love Marines.
I really, I have to be candid with you.
I'm jealous.
I, the fact that I never went in the Marine Corps is a sin.
I should burn in Hades for that.
Really, you guys and ladies out there
who chose the Marine Corps, you're the best.
There's nothing like a Marine, man.
There were Marine before.
You can be the CEO of IBM or whatever.
It doesn't mean you're a Marine first.
It's like Texas, you know, Texas is the same way.
You ask people where they're from,
ah, from this kind of, yes, Texas.
Marines are Marines first.
God bless you, Marine Corps.
And everybody in the chat,
give a little salute to our US Marines out there.
Who said hoorah?
Who said it?
Shock-tall Marine One, hat tip brother.
God bless you, man.
You guys are bad asses.
Hey, I love the Army, Navy,
and you know how I feel about the military,
but Marines, I always wanted to be one.
My greatest regret in my lifetime.
All right, getting back to the show.
Folks, this is gonna cause an uproar.
If you have a weapons system from the 40s
that doesn't work, but it brings millions of dollars
in jobs to your district,
but is costing the United States money, there's no way these congressmen are going to let it go and it's not
a Democrat or Republican thing. It's a swamp thing. It's how the swamp works. We have to stand
strong. You want to fix this country. You want to do big things. When I was an agent, my boss used
to say to me, be careful big cases, big headaches. Big cases, big headaches. You want to do big things? When I was an agent, my boss used to say to me, be careful, big cases, big headaches.
Big cases, big headaches.
You want to do big politics?
They're going to cause you big headaches
and you better get the freaking exedran
because this is how we change this place.
They cannot pass an audit
because they've been wasting money forever.
How bad is it when a left-wing lunatic
like John Stewart, big gun grabber,
John Stewart, yes, grabber, John Stewart,
yes, the same guy, the comedian guy, he's on a panel.
Have you ever seen this clip with Biden's number two with the Pentagon?
This is not new.
This is obviously from a while ago.
John Stewart, the left-winger is asking her, hey, man, how is it that you guys can't pass
an audit?
Like, where's the billions of dollars going?
I want you to listen to her cocky arrogant answer. She admits
She doesn't know check this out
There is a lot of waste fraud and abuse within a system audits and waste fraud abuse are not the same thing. So let's
Decompose these please educate me on sure
So an audit is exactly what you just described which, do I know what was delivered to which place? Right. The ability to pass an audit or the fact that the DOD has not
passed an audit is not suggestive of waste, fraud and abuse. That is completely false
right there. So what is it suggestive of? It's suggestive that we don't have an accurate
inventory that we can pull up of what we have where. That is not the same as saying we don't have an accurate inventory that we can pull up of what we have where.
That is not the same as saying we can't do that because waste fraud and abuse has occurred.
So in my world, yeah, that's waste. How is that waste? If I give you a billion dollars and you
can't tell me what happened to it, that to me is wasteful. That means you are not responsible.
But if you can't tell me where it went,
then what am I supposed to think?
This guy's a lefty.
He's a liberal.
He's asking this Biden Pentagon official,
where the hell are these billions of dollars?
She's like, I don't know.
But an audit and waste fraud.
But you see how they play the euphemisms game. They dance around the word games like,
you know, an illegal alien becomes an undocumented visitor to the United States or some ridiculous
euphemism. They do this all the time. It's a simple question. The way to beat this, by the way,
is to always, always bring it back to ground level.
Don't let them elevate the conversation using words
into things unconnected to what's happening on the ground.
Don't let them do it.
Go right back to the question you started with.
I didn't ask you what words you're using
or any of this other stuff or dancing around it.
Where is the money?
Why can't you tell us?
Listen to your buddy Dan here.
You think USAID caused the storm?
Wait till the military industrial complex.
They start asking questions there.
I'm telling you, bank it, flag it.
Producer Jim, we haven't flagged anything in a long time.
Flag it right now.
Red flags in the chat.
You are going to see even swampy Republicans like,
well, we need the hang glider 62 for GI Joe like aerial missions.
And you're going to be like, what?
Oh, the factories in your district.
Watch that.
There we go. Tear it up dad chat. Tear it up. We have the best emojis. The only Karate Man, Figezi, red flags everywhere. I love it. We gotta be, when we
open the new studio, we'll even do even more. You gotta see the studio by the way. Amazing.
Absolutely amazing. We're going to do an audience show.
It's opening soon.
Everyone hat tip Paula.
Paula did an amazing job in the design.
Guys, how does the studio look?
It's pretty freaking awesome.
We're hoping you guys are going to see it too.
So, all right.
Let me take a quick break here.
When I get back in this, we're going to go into our...
What was that?
Thanks.
Wait, one more time.
Thanks.
That poor guy, we've never heard from him again
after we outed him on the show as a moron.
The next segment is going to be important.
I'm going to document for you quickly
the judicial warfare going on around the country. And I have a proposal.
Granted, I mean it hyperbolically, but it's meant to accentuate a point about the liberals
defending these judges right now who are clearly acting as legislators and executives and not
judges at all.
I'm going to ask him a simple question.
If Trump were to do X, would you be happy with it? Hey, one of my favorite traditions is choosing New Year's resolutions.
We all get the opportunity, start the year fresh, set goals, tackle new challenges. This
new year, I encourage you to learn something new. With Hillsdale College, they have more

Thanks blackout coffee. All right back to the show warfare, ladies and gentlemen, is going on right now.
This is not new.
Listen, man, everybody knew this was coming.
It's not a good thing, it's a horrible thing,
but it's not a surprise, okay?
You go to a Freddy Krueger movie,
you know there's gonna be a Wolverine-like razor blade
slicing up some young kids who fall asleep.
It's a horrible thing, even in the movies, but you knew what you were getting into.
When we won, I told you prior to the inauguration of Donald Trump,
I told you prior to the election, if we win, the Democrats will impeach Donald Trump.
Al Green's already trying. They're talking about impeaching Elon Musk now,
which is freaking insanity. And I told you they would be in the courts
if Donald Trump clipped his fingernails.
They'd be like, he's not authorized to do that.
They're doing it.
It sucks, period.
However, there is a bright side to this.
The bright side is a small one,
but they're gonna sue a thousand times.
I think we could win 850 to 900 of them.
They'll probably sue more.
It is going to reestablish the power of the
executive that the Constitution and the Founding Fathers intended, and then they're going to have
to deal with and empower Donald Trump for three and a half more years, or maybe three after these
court cases resolve. They are, and they're wasting a ton of time on every little thing defending the
indefensible. Here's just a brief update about what happened
just in the last few days.
They are working overtime
to make sure this government gravy train continues.
They're shopping.
They're doing this judge shopping thing, folks.
You know about this?
Here is Elon Musk, who now goes by Harry Bolzé.
Some of you will get that, by way, Harry Bowles, a it's kind of like, by the
way, the McGroin crew out there, I would be disappointed if you can't hold on,
keep that on the screen. If there is not a big balls McGroin yet, there is. Oh, if
there isn't forget it McGroin's we're gonna have to divorce. I'm sorry. Is there a Big Balls
McGroin? If someone please point it out in the chat. Can you
because if there isn't there better be one quick. Anita's not
here today. Speak the truth is out there. But you got there's
got to be a Big Balls McGroin. So we've got Harry Balls. Harry
Balls, otherwise known as Elon Musk.
You know what's crazy about messing with you guys?
I actually for a second, even though they told me this got a little confused there.
I'm like, who the hell's Harry balls?
Even though before the show like dude, I just want to warn you, Elon changed this thing.
You recut it this way.
There you go.
Good job, Justin.
So Harry balls, Elon Musk is like, they're judge shopping.
You know what judge shopping is?
Judge shopping, folks, is when you go and sue in a regional area of the country that has a large majority of Democrat appointed judges on the bench. It's really simple. Where would you go?
You go to New York and the West Coast. They're not going to sue in Florida courts. They go up to the northeast. That's why you keep
hearing like Massachusetts judge, Rhode Island judge, not
only that, the appeals courts are also stacked with
Democrats. So this is what they're doing. This is why
Clarence Thomas has been speaking out about the national
restraining orders, how a judge in New York can give a
restraining order for How a judge in New York can give a restraining order for
a congressional district in Wyoming is ridiculous. Clarence Thomas has been warning about this
forever. This A. Muce on Twitter is talking about this lawfare too. How this Obama appointed
judge threatened Trump and his team with arrest if they don't restore every dime of funding
that have been paused or canceled. Folks, my recommendation is Donald Trump should ignore this. This judge is obviously not acting constitutionally at all. It should be ignored,
demand it resuming all but you can't order the executive to spend. I mean, you effectively
usurp the power of the executive. Now, before I get to the next, I'm going to play your video by crazy. Big balls. McGroin is here. Big balls. I knew we had one. I knew it. I was
thinking about this on the Monday show. I'm like, we better have a big balls McGroin or
the McGroin army's losing their influence, man. Thank you. You guys. I love I knew the
McGroin's would be there. I knew you guys and ladies are the best. That's fantastic. Folks, threatening
with the rest. Who's going to arrest them? The marshals? You guys know who the US
marshals work for? Department of Justice that is under the, oh yeah, executive
Brent. Donald Trump's going to order his own arrest. This is ridiculous.
This is ridiculous. Here's my suggestion before I play this video. Again, I'm speaking hyperbolically, obviously, but it's meant to accentuate a point.
We are a constitutional republic.
This judge is clearly making up powers he does not have.
He does not have power to demand the president spend money.
I mean, what if, let me give you an example of what I mean quick.
Sorry, but this is so important.
The president finds a fraudulent payment to a terrorist group planning an attack on the
United States.
Can a judge order that payment be made?
Of course not, Dan.
What's the difference?
There's no difference.
Donald Trump's the executive.
He says, we have a problem in the executive branch. Hold on to these payments. The judge can't order these.
He's just making it up. So here's my suggestion. If liberals are okay with
judges making up constitutional powers, are they okay with Donald Trump
fabricating executive powers? How about this? How about Donald Trump in the East
Room of the White House
sets up a courtroom, like remember the Batman movie,
Scarecrow has the courtroom, or was it the Bane one,
with the, it was at the Dark Knight, or whatever.
That's what we need to do.
We need to set up a courtroom.
Donald Trump can sit there, he can even wear like
the wigs they wear in the UK court system,
and he can just start making judicial decisions.
The liberal, he can't do that, bro.
The judge can't do it either.
What's the difference?
If the judge is the executive,
why can't the executive be the judge?
Ask your stupid liberal friends that.
This is clearly a made up fabricated power.
So you're telling me Joe Biden,
despite being told by the Supreme Court,
you cannot pay off student loans with taxpayer money
without congressional authorization.
Joe Biden says, middle finger, bro, I'll do what I want.
That that's okay.
But Donald Trump saying don't spend money
because we have a problem, that's not okay. Just to be clear
Here is
Democrat communist norm eyes and I really can't stand this guy
You want to look at just go and research major Democrat scandals of the last few years and you'll see
The attachment to the legal lawfare space and people like Norm Eisen.
Here is Norm Eisen, deep state hack, bragging on MSNBC
about basically burning the Constitution
and using lawfare to stop Donald Trump
from cleaning up any aspect of government,
putting the Democrats in a big dilemma.
Check this out.
A shock and awe assault on the foundations of our democracy with all of these unconstitutional
and illegal actions and a responding shock and awe by my group and our allies and many others
going to court and securing these orders, stopping them. I won orders last week, the very first case locking Mr. Musk out of the Treasury Department.
He has no right to look at that data.
Uh, tying the hands of the President, the Attorney General, and others who want to dox
reveal the identity of 6,000 FBI agents.
Uh, they don't have any legal right to do that under the Privacy Act.
And otherwise, we're in court this morning arguing that Donald Trump
birthright citizenship, rewriting the Constitution.
He gets to pick and choose who are citizens of the United States.
No, we're in a courtroom right now with our allies fighting that.
And we filed a brief on behalf of Anna.
This guy is a deep state hack like you've never seen before.
Notice how this guy again has no problem, by the way, appears
to have no problem with judicial lawfare where people are
dragged through the process to ruin their lives.
And yet when Donald Trump sees that there may be some partisan bias
and a supposedly unpartisan or nonpartisan FBI
and wants to weed it out, Norm Eisen goes crazy.
Docs, and he uses all the keywords,
doxing, illegal access to our data.
He's making all of this up.
Folks, they are going to die on this hill and Norm Eisen is too freaking
stupid to understand the corner he's in. He is never ever going to win this
argument. He is living in the era of Walter Cronkite where they think they
own the narrative. You, here's a perfect Batman analogy now. Remember Bane in that scene?
Do you feel like you're in charge? How he puts his hand palm up on the guy's shoulder.
Do you feel like you're in charge? Norm, buddy, you can sue all you want, Daddy-O.
Come on, Daddy-O. You may win one out of 10.
But as rock'em sock'em continues,
you win one out of 10, we do 20 more executive orders.
You win two out of 20, we do 30 more executive orders.
You win three out of 30, we do 50 more executive orders.
We've got the House, we've got the Senate,
and we do at least have a small advantage on the Supreme Court.
We don't need to win them all. You never hear, you know, you don't need to outrun the bear, I just need to outrun Michael.
Norm's too stupid to figure this out. Instead of marshalling their forces right now, the Democrats, getting their donors together,
their email lists, their activist base, and selectively picking fights they think they
can win.
They're doing this shotgun birdshot approach, which is making them look chaotic.
It's wasting assets.
They're going to lose most of them, and they're going to empower Donald Trump moving forward
to reestablish the executive branch. It's going to be probably
the biggest backfire of the presidency for them. Here's another one. Kyle Becker on Twitter.
Another judge who's under the delusion the American people elected him president.
Judge Kenneth Gonzalez appointed by Obama, big shocker, has told the President of the United States
that he can't deport Venezuelan gang members to Gitmo.
This is funny.
It's just like that this judge thinks in the end he's going to win this.
You're going to lose.
It's another temporary restraining order, by the way.
You're going to another temporary restraining order by the way, you're going to lose these judges
You can tell right away by who appointed them
Probably 90% of the time what they're gonna do with the law is meaningless to these people
Venezuelan gang members in the country illegally
Gang members. No. No, you got to keep them here so they can what? Rape and terrorize
and kill people? For real? This is the hill you guys want to die on? You sure? These are
not serious people. You throw in a judge in front of your name means absolutely nothing.
If the presidency means nothing, this low level judge means absolutely nothing. I'm telling you, POTUS,
President Trump should set up a little court in the East Room of the White House.
If this is where we are now, the executive's not the executive, the courts are the executive,
well, the executive should just do what they're doing.
Of course, the FOing, folks, is going to continue. I told you this.
The way to defeat this stuff is they want to sue. They're the ones spending the money or the time.
No, we're donating our time. It doesn't matter. You can only be in one courtroom at a time.
They want to sue on 10 executive orders, issue 100 more.
We win, you lose on numbers.
So here's what I'm hoping to make a daily FO segment.
The Democrats F-aid.
They F'd around.
Now they're finding out.
And every single day, they're finding out more.
Here's a good one.
I haven't covered this yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I know a lot of you asked, given my obviously my prior line of work.
President Trump ordered the Secret Service
to give him every bit of information
about the two assassination attempts against him.
Folks, I told you a long time ago,
it's now being reported by Axios and others,
and Susan Crabtree,
the Iranian threat via drone to President Trump was real.
I've got to tell you something,
I usually care about feedback on this a lot.
I don't, the sources I have on this are, I'm just going to leave it at that.
They're unimpeachable.
The Iranian threat against Trump was real.
The drone threat was real.
President Trump does not want to die. Now I will say this, he's
ordering the Secret Service to give him every bit of information. The Secret Service has
this thing so you understand the mechanics not to bore you to death, but they have a
memorandum of understanding with the FBI. The FBI investigates assassination attempts.
He needs to order, I'm sure he has by the way, the FBI to give him the information too.
They cannot tell him no.
But the Secret Service will have
in their protective intelligence division
something about this.
He says, no more holding back because of Biden.
I'm entitled to know when they've held it long enough.
Yes, fess up on the information.
You're telling me we don't know anything
about these two potential assassins
that could have killed him?
One guy shot him in the head.
Of course they know. Was there an Iran connection or not? Maybe there wasn't. Just let the man know.
Second, unusual whales tweet. A lot of FOing happened folks for the left.
Donald Trump's asked the DOJ to review firearms rules and regulations drafted by President
Biden setting up a likely reversal of many of those policies.
Yes.
President Trump and Pam Bondi are on board to determine any ongoing infringements of
the Second Amendment.
Ladies and gentlemen, if gun control worked, why isn't gun control working?
Because it doesn't work.
It's not a coincidence that liberal cities with the tightest fake gun control laws, because
they don't control guns, have the highest crime rates.
It's not an accident, folks.
Good for President Trump.
Even more FOing happening.
So I'm talking about you can sue all you want.
We'll just keep it coming.
There'll be a tidal wave of FOing EOs coming.
The FOEO, I like that.
Can we do it?
Can we call that the FOEO?
That's what we'll call it.
The executive order.
The find out executive order.
Bill Mollugin, Twitter breaking.
The Trump administration is seeking to deputize IRS agents
to carry out a legal immigration enforcement
with ICE at the US interior.
Yes.
You gonna sue about that too?
Donald Trump can allocate these people
to do whatever he wants.
We used to use what we call OTAs
in the Secret Service all the time.
Other treasury agents, we'd bring them in to supplement us as post standards at sites.
What you're telling me we can't use IRS agents to protect our border?
Good luck.
Sue on that one too.
Sue away.
Let's see what happens.
You'll just FO some more.
We know their arm.
Good point, Justin.
I believe they're 1811s, the IRS agents like anyone else. They can get out
there. Everybody's got to help out. Folks, Cash Patel thankfully is closing in hopefully this week,
maybe early next week. I hope this week Tulsi looks good. Knock on wood. Tulsi looks good.
Excellent. RFK looks good. Knock on wood. Excellent. looks good. Excellent. RFK looks good. Knock on wood.
Excellent. I don't count chickens before they hatch. It's stupid old cliche, but it matters.
You get the point. Cash looks good too. The Dems are trying to delay. They're writing
ridiculous hit pieces that have not gotten any gravity at all. They're floating into
the ether. Cash looks good. The Democrats now are freaking out over cash too
because they're realizing that the FBI,
which is alleged to have leaked some of the CBP raids
to get rid of illegal aliens and criminals in the country,
if that's true,
Cash Patel is gonna get to the bottom of it right away.
They know that.
Here's Democrat communist Senator A.B. Klobuchar.
Notice how they specifically mentioned cash
They are really worried about losing a politicized FBI to do their dirty work check this out
And one of the things that we haven't even talked about is that our Republican colleagues have been
Acquiescing in all of this. I know this I've seen a few of them stand up from time to time
Maybe they'll stand up to cancer trials being cut.
Watch for it.
Maybe they'll stand up to Cash Patel,
which they sure better do,
as this man who has shown no regard for the truth
is about to become head of the FBI,
unless they stand up for it.
Notice how they focus so much on cash.
It goes back to the golden rule of the show, folks.
In the chat, what is it?
Get on the case there.
Yes, measure the effectiveness of what you're doing
by where the Democrats train their fire.
They have been dead set on getting cash out of there
because they're afraid that cash is going
to make the FBI great again, and they don't want it. Cash doesn't want a political FBI
either does anyone else. The Democrats do. They want this stuff to continue too. Folks, the FOing
is going to continue but it's amazing how little the media has picked up on this extinction burst
type behavior against Trump. Did you guys see this Tennessee preacher, this video?
You know, it's not highly disturbing, but this really isn't for kids.
Calling for violence here or at least appears to be calling for violence.
I mean, you can listen to yourself.
This is the kind of stuff that, you know, an FBI calling for violence that wasn't political should be
investigating. I want you to listen to this check this out.
And in this nation I'm worried that we are on the verge of bloodshed. This is a
an attempt to take us back to a day that we do not want to go and we will not go.
Therefore there will be conflict. I
pray that the peace of God will win out and overcome the madness that is
attempting to take over this nation. And I will say to you beloved no one likes
violence but sometimes violence is necessary. When Elon Musk forces his way
into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your
personal information and your Social Security check, there is a possibility of violence.
Sometimes the devil will act so ugly that you have no other choice but to get violent
and fight.
Can you imagine Father Marty and Holy Redeemer talking about that with a Democrat? The Democrats, oh my gosh, the Biden FBI, the church would be shut down.
They'd burn it to the ground.
By the way, Elon, you know, listen, you don't have to listen to me, but I would consider legal action against this guy.
Elon Musk is threatening to steal your data.
Are you sure you can defend that in court?
You sure about that?
I hate lawsuits, man.
I'm not a litigious guy,
but once in a while you're forced into a corner.
What else are you gonna do?
If I were Elon, I would strongly consider that.
Where's the FBI on that?
You listen to his own words, man.
You don't have to listen to me. Listen to what he said.
We're happy to make you famous today or infamous.
Now, I haven't done it in a couple days, but it's important.
Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot forget the economy.
We've got a lot going on, but the bottom line is one of the biggest issues that got Donald Trump elected was Joe Biden's
absolute crap management of the economy
garbage inflation or all this other stuff
Folks government spending is the problem hat-tip Elon who put this out
We've been using Milton Friedman videos for a long time
But I don't have the platform Elon does if you don't know who Milton Friedman is God rest his soul
You are missing out on one of the greatest economic minds in the last 200 years and a guy who can
articulate economics better than anyone. This is only about 20 seconds, but I want you to keep this
in mind as these new CBO reports are coming out about how bad our budget deficit is for the
Democrats. Like we don't need to cut a million here, a million here. No, we need to cut trillions, trillions. Yes,
that's how bad it is.
Government spending is all
that matters. It's all that
matters. That is your tax
rate. Listen to Friedman,
explain it. As I said
before, keep your eye on
one thing and one thing
only, how much government
is spending, because that's the true
tax. Every budget is
balanced. There is no
such thing as an
unbalanced federal
budget. You're paying
for it. If you're not
paying for it through it
in the form of
explicit taxes, you're
paying for it
indirectly in the form of
inflation or in the form
of borrowing. The thing
you should keep your eye
on is what government spends.
And the real problem is to hold down
government spending as a fraction of our income.
And if you do that,
you can stop worrying about the debt.
Folks, Milton Friedman,
we have played clips like this from him
hundreds of times.
Friedman says it right.
There is no such thing as a debt that's unpaid,
government or anything else.
Either the debtor or the creditor pays it.
I lend Michael money and he doesn't pay me back.
The debt was paid by me.
Michael pays it back, he paid the debt.
The government borrows money to spend.
Where do you think it's getting the money from? It's printing it.
Well what does printing money do? Creates more money. Which does what? Creates inflation because
more money is chasing the same products. Which can charge more money because there's more money.
It's not hard. This is easy stuff to figure out. Inflation is high and has been high because
the government is spending too much money and printing it. Either way, you're paying,
Daddy-o. And in case you think we have a taxing problem, let me go to the CBO. For you dipshit
Democrats out there, too stupid to figure this out.
The CBO is your government entity, Congressional Budget Office.
So if you're telling us government is great and that the CBO is lying, then government
isn't great.
CBO report came out yesterday.
Notice the taxes revenues were up $11 billion.
They were 1% higher.
Wow. So that must mean the debt went down. No, the debt went up
by 317 billion. Wait, so you mean taxes aren't the problem
because they keep going higher? We're just spending more? Yes.
That sounds like spending is a problem. Yes. But I'm a liberal.
You're a moron. Yes. It doesn't matter what we tax the government just spends more
You understand now why they are freaking out whether you're freaking out about this
By the way, here's a quick video the Biden jobs report the last one from the Biden era that just came out
It covers the last three months of the Biden era.
All had to be revised down.
Listen to the great Peter St.
Ange about just how crappy this Biden economy was.
Check this out.
Joe Biden's final job report is out and it's a doozy, a veritable orgy
of revisions kicking off with a massive Bureau of Labor Statistics revision that wiped out
589,000 imaginary jobs the Biden administration had been propping up until the election.
Every single month of 2024 was revised down and keep in mind this is not the whole story the
Philly Fed thinks there's another 800,000 fake jobs lurking in these sweet nothings of
Biden's finest government statisticians.
Folks, however bad you thought the Biden economy was, yes, it's worse.
It is worse.
The job numbers were faked.
The budget deficits were unprecedented.
The printing of money was unprecedented.
What I'm getting at is, listen to me, please.
This is really important.
I need you to be patient with President Trump
and the economic team.
I know it's hard, because there's a lot going on.
He's doing a lot right now.
Forget the chewing gum and walking at the same time.
He's chewing gum, hitting fastballs,
shooting free throws, and walking at the same time. He's chewing gum, hitting fastballs, shooting free throws, and walking at the same time.
I need you to be patient.
This mess is not going to be cleaned up in a day.
It is going to take some massive cutting of government
in the trillions.
It is going to take reform of entitlement programs
no other way.
We're going to have to get the fraud out of it.
And we're going to have to get grounded
in some sound economic accounting principles again. and we are going to go bankrupt. They can do it but
it's going to take time. I know I gotta can we don't Jasmine Crockett we got to
get to that tomorrow especially now that Jim has the dumbest member of Congress
pool up going soon again. Ladies and gentlemen thank you for tuning in
