All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. Okay, so by far, the most difficult job I had over the past year was managing expectations and trying to tell people who are understandably, you hear me? Understandably upset with the weaponization of government and where we wound up, pre-Donald Trump swearing in for 47, was trying to explain to people that The process is happening. It's just slow.

Not slow because people are lazy or don't want to do anything, but because the justice system revolves around. I think the easiest way to say it is the permission of many others. Judges, you know, subpoenas from United States attorneys. You can't just go out there and do stuff. I can't just as a federal agent, and this is a good thing, right? I can't just go out and arrest you because I have the feels, and I feel like it.

I have to prove it. In order to frisk you, I need reasonable suspicion. To arrest you, I need probable cause. To convict you, I need beyond a reasonable doubt in a civil case preponderance of evidence. You need to meet those hurdles, and that's a good thing. I say that because, again, I don't understand how it's still tenable. to be one of these doomers and pillars as all the stuff we told you was going to happen

is now happening. It was really difficult for me to keep my mouth shut. But when stuff becomes public, we can talk about it like anyone else. I'm going to get to all of that because the opening of the show, I had to change it because a couple of things

that have been worked on for a while that you were told aren't happening, just happened. Will you get any apologies from the doomers? No, of course not. They're doopers. They're sitting home like that crazy reporter watching like tentacle porn and renting stimpy episodes.

They don't actually have anything to do. They just want to complain. So they're just going to move on to the next thing to complain about. And then when that happens, they'll move on to the next thing. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a minute. Also, there was a very, very important interview yesterday that happened on CNBC with the Southern District of New York, United States Attorney.

something I've been telling you about for a long time. It involves the real insider thread. So the beginning of today's show is going to be a lot. So just get ready for the ride. Let's get right to it. Hey, many Americans try weight loss shots. But some of them don't want to take the injections. They don't like the potential side effects.

I looked into a lot of this stuff. Listen, we passed me and Paul abode. Instead, I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition, L-E-A-N, no needles, no prescriptions, lose weight. It works. I lost 28, 30 pounds on it. Good product.

Great product. Brickhousenutrition.com slash Dan. Use code Dan for 20% off. That's brickhousenutrition.com slash Dan results. Very not FDA approved. Check out lien today's show also brought to you by Birch Gold. When the dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971, gold was fixed at $35 an ounce. Well, fast forward to today.

It's been reported. The U.S. dollars lost over 85% of its purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, has not, has increased in value by over 12,000 percent. That's why many central bank. banks are buying gold at a record level. That's why many major firms hold significant positions in gold. I invest in gold myself often. But it starts with education.

Thank you, Birch-Gold. gold fellas let's go all right so this is a new opening to the show because the doomers again are sitting there with egg on their face clawing scraping crying crapping crapping their diapers telling you and everything's happened so this happened on fox news this morning remember the fraud out in minnesota a lot of it exposed by independent journalist nixon Shirley. Well, you know what, let's do it in this area. Let's do it the right order. I don't mess it up. This just happened a few minutes before we came off the air.

Looks like 22 separate locations were hit. Here's a Fox News report from just a few minutes ago. Check this out. DOJ confirms the Fox News that FBI and HSI agents are currently serving 22 court-approved search warrants in the Minneapolis area this morning in relation to federal fraud investigations. One of those locations is the infamous quality learning center, which you see here. Very good.

Very good. I like now, of course, the do- the doomers, even when you post that, were still upset. Were they not just, well, glad you guys got on that after all that work was done. Actually, we've been working on

it the entire time I was there. No, you have it. Oh, well, actually, we have it. You can actually look yourself. March 20th, 2026, a case that had been going on for a long time. Five more plead guilty in feeding our futures fraud scream out there in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Prosecutors have now obtained 63 convictions. Scheme what? Do you think that happened overnight?

Listen, folks, I get it. Don't ever over-explain yourself. The good folks out there who understand people are working really hard to clean up our government, they don't need to hear it a thousand times. And the doomers don't give a shit either. The doomers are just going to find something else to doom and gloom. So it doesn't matter. But, however, this is a politics and news show, and this is news.

So although I'm vested in it because I was personally involved in a lot of this, I also feel the need to cover the freaking news. Of course, another one happened this morning. You were told nothing was happening on the whole COVID thing and the weaponization of government. Nothing was happening there either. You remember that one, Justin? You were told, correct? Nothing was happening there.

Nothing was happening on left-wing groups. nothing was happening on Antifa, despite multiple convictions, arrest, the SPLC, BLM, all, nothing's ever happening. So this just happened this morning on the COVID stuff. This one, matter of fact, Justin doesn't do a lot of commentary pre-show. Justin was like, wow, that's news. This happened this morning, New York Post. Anthony Fauci, advisor, indicted by DOJ.

That's not possible. Nothing is happening, folks. Nothing is happening. Nothing. You're starting to wonder to yourself, like with these Dumers or Pillars and their liberal media friends, but liberal media friends complain about what's happening. That's the difference. They both want the destruction of the MAGA movement. They come from it from different directions. The liberal media complains about all the stuff that's happening. I just saw one of these dipshits yesterday. This guy used to be friends with total moron. I think he's a lawyer some. He's got to show. He's just a total tool. I saw him as a little tool. I saw him as a guy. I said, when I was talking about the two FBI, I'll play later on Hannity, responds, well, what happened to the other one? Gee, I don't know.

You could have actually listened to the special today and found out where we noted that roughly 10% of the workforce had separated multiple people were fired for weapons. You could have listened to that. But you don't. You just want to be a dumb-ass doomer because you wanted to destroy the movement from inside the tent.

Now we've had accountability on Antifa, the SPLC, BLM. We had that huge arrest for the base. Benghazi tragedy. We had Bakush. Everybody's innocent to proven guilty. We now have this COVID case with some indictments. Listen, it's incredibly important you understand. Incredibly important you understand that this is not a genuine, authentic movement, the Dumers and the pillars. There is a ton of money floating into the, air quotes, right-wing ecosystem to create an insider threat from inside the tent. I want you to watch this because there is this deadly symbiote, like you guys read comics,

Eddie Brock Venom, you have any Venom from the Spider-Mas? This microbial thing infects Eddie Brock, becomes his special suit, becomes venom, right? They work together to do really bad things. there's a symbiote out there too. It's just not a Spider-Man comics. It's not to do with Marvel. The symbiote are foreign actors who hate the United States. Specific foreign governments with a lot of money,

who are floating money into the confusion ecosystem to create a sense of confusion so that everybody can't trust anybody and the whole system collapses. I'm going to play a Besmanoff clip in a minute. I'll show you what I mean. This is intentional and it's happening. This foreign money is very real. when you combine that with left-wing groups

and you see the allegations against the SPLC, you see what's been going on with Antifa, you've got a really dangerous Witches Brew. That is the real inside threat. These liberal, non-governmental organizations, many of them up to no good, paying a lot of money to basically fertilize violence and hatred, and then you combine it with geometrically more foreign money

coming into our own tent to foster division. And it's amazing we even survive this stuff, given how much adjut prop you're being subjected to every day. Why am I so outspoken about these ops? Because I've seen things, and I've seen the damage being done by this, and I see what's happening. It's real.

These people who are, be careful who you trust, these people telling you, oh, trust me, I'm just asking questions, are not asking questions. They're not asking questions at all. They're being paid to foster division. How do I know they're not asking questions? Because when you give them the answer, they just move on to something else.

I want you to watch this. This is a clip on CNBC. This is the Southern District of New York, United States Attorney. The United States Attorney is the lead prosecutor for the Department of Justice in districts around the country. This is the big boss. You may have heard of him, Jay Clayton, pretty good guy. Here he is in a hit media appearance on CNN. MBC and he's talking about these prosecutions,

and he mentioned something at the end of this. I want you to pay very close attention to in case you think I'm just making all this up. And you think that these people, not you all out there, you watch my show, so it worked pretty good. This is like the Compass True North show. But you watch these other shows, people just asking questions in case you think this is real.

It's not real. Most of it's just BS being financed. Here, check this out. Let me tie this to a recent event. I mean, this was horrible. Amplifying of somebody like this is message, you know, just stupid. Let's just call it what it is stupid. Okay.

We had a case in the Justice Department last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center. At bottom, and these are allegations, but at bottom, the allegations are that this organization was creating hate in order to expand their mission of combating hate. If that's going on, and it is, it's going on in America, it's going on through organizations like that, it's also going on with foreign actors funding these types of organizations because they want us to fight with each other. So everybody needs to take a step back and say, who is causing me to have these emotions? And are we creating an environment where those emotions are causing us to do things that are harmful to the American? in public. So, Justin, just to be clear, the doomers and the pillars and the bullshitters, Donald Trump, President Trump appointed me, Cash, Jay Clayton, and others. We're all just lying

to you about this. It's weird how everybody's saying the same thing, and we're all just lying to you for some unknown reason. We definitely all won in the government because of the big money. I got very rich in the government, you know. It was huge. Checks were amazing. I hope you sense the dripping sarcasm there. What motive would I possibly have to come out and bullshit you that there is a lot of foreign money and influence being pushed and shoved down your freaking throat like syrup of Ipecac to confuse you, to get you to not trust anyone, the president, the vice president, Rubio, Hegset, Patel, me, anyone else.

This is all bullshit. Every single thing they told you wasn't happening, has been happening and evolving quite quickly over the last few weeks as years of work, years. Notice years, I said, with an S. Because some of this stuff, to be fair, didn't even start under us. We just finished it. Years of this work is going on right now.

Why are they doing this? Because folks, foreign actors, combined with left-wing adjut prop groups have the same goal. How do you collapse the constitutional republic from the inside because we can't beat it from the outside? It's the same goal. It's no different. Everybody telling you this stuff that when they tell you these crazy lunatic things

and they make up these bizarre conspiracy theoretical bullshit out there, I'm really stunned at how many people, fall for this stuff without a shred of evidence. Folks, there's a penalty for it. The penalty for it is what I showed you yesterday on the show. How two people who tried to either kill, assassinate, or do significant damage to Donald Trump and his property, i.e. the guy who tried to attack Mar-a-Lago a few months ago with the gas cans,

who was killed, and then this, uh, the suspect in this recent assassin, assassination attempt this weekend. They're citing the very same narratives. A lot of these foreign actors are injecting into a mainlining into the, you know, American, the circulatory system. Man, I'm sorry if you're falling for this and you're promoting this stuff. I'm really, I am. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that you did not learn better, you know, skills for discriminating bullshit from reality. It's not going to serve you well the rest of your life. And listen, again, these people. committing this violence. There are no, there is no two sides argument here, folks. There is one side, as I said on Hannity's show last night. There is one side trying to shoot and kill the president and anyone else around him. Look up that, what is it, the California case where the guy showed up to the studio with my name and others on there. We've been part of this too. There are people trying to

kill us, and then there's us on this side calling out political violence every single place we see it. And it happens to be mostly overwhelming majority, but on the left, there's not a both sides argument. I heard Paul Morrow from Fox, a good friend, say yesterday, I only see the bullets going one way. Me too, Paul. And in case you think you're going to get any apologies from these people, I'm warning you. The left is, they're done. They're done. They have forfeiting. any attachment to morality, ethics, human dignity, they're done. They don't care. Hakeem Jeffries, who I called out last sign of Fox, is doubling down.

We don't need to be civil. We're not asking you for civility. I'm not asking you to shake my hand, give me a pat on the back, give me a dab, respectfully submitted at the end of your emails. I'm just asking you stop shooting the president. That's it. It's not hard. They are not in any way retreating from this position.

you cannot shame shameless people. They don't care. Watch this video. This is Democrat Congressman Raj Krasma Morthy. Here he is, not only not apologizing for any of this stuff, this leftist rhetoric, here he is.

I just, there's this illusion out there that, oh, eventually the left will turn around and come around. They will not. They're not interested. We are in a really dangerous place. Here he is blaming Donald Trump for being a,

a victim of a potential assassination. Check this out. Tremendous, as you can understand, concern given the threat levels that are going up in part because of the president and now three assassination attempts on him, his very low approval ratings, which unfortunately fuel a lot of disaffection. It's not just him. You may be saying to yourself, wow, that's one example of, you know, one totally disconnect, from reality congressman on the Democrat side. No, it's not.

I just told you. Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House, he did the same thing yesterday. We don't know. Could it be lectured on civility? No one's lecturing you on civility. Sometimes in the show I use curse words and can get emotional about something.

I'm not telling you we got to, you know, sit around and drink tea and eat crumpets together, rose smoors around the campfire, while singing gospel music. I would love that to happen. It's not going to happen. We're just asking you to stop promoting agit prop false narratives, a lot funded by foreign actors, some of this funded by left-wing groups that are leading to the President of the United States being shot at and shot,

being shot at and shot multiple times. People have already died, folks. Don't fall for the BS line. Oh, someone's going to die with this. Corey comparator is already dead. People have already died because of left-wing lunacy. The no king's thing is another one. In addition to all the other Nazi-type rhetoric,

fascist rhetoric about Donald Trump. Here's Donald Trump, the king, if you believe, the malevolent king, if you believe, bullshit left-wing garbage. Who just does an interview after an attempted assassination again, does an interview with 61 minutes with Noro Donald is a quick one but he's just like King if I was a king what the hell am I doing here with you?

Check this out. He had attended a no king's protest in California. No kings. What did security tell you about what may have been his motives? The reason you have people like that is you have people doing no kings, I'm not a king. What I am, if I was a king, I wouldn't be dealing with you.

He's on 60 minutes, folks. It wasn't like Breitbart. It wasn't BizPack review or some conservative outlet, it's 60 minutes. If this guy's a king, why is he going on an outlet that hates his guts to try to make the case that we got to kind of dial this stuff down? Because he's a king, does that even make sense to you? It goes back to my larger point.

This isn't just complaining about it. I'm trying to tell you there's very little chance right now that you are going to talk the left into toning down the violence. I'm not telling you that we shouldn't expose it because remember the Dan Bongino principle debating with the left. You're not going to convince the radical leftist he's not insane.

You're not. They're in the padded room already. However, there's another person listening. There's always a third person listening. And this country is populated by 330 million people, the overwhelming majority who are good, sane, decent people, I promise. They are the ones you're trying to convince.

You are not going to convince Hakeem Jeffries, Raj Christopher Morthy, Roe Conner, the biggest fraud up there. You're not going to convince the view or 61 minutes or anyone to tone it down. The hatred... I had a friend in the Secret Service

told me one time. He said, Dan, you know, don't let the evil in. In other words, like, he was talking about, they don't... Tell the guys, like, don't be lazy on these trips. You got to work, you got to work, you got to work. Once you let the evil in, that's it. The evil is in. It's permeated, the leftist soul.

It's spread in the circulatory system. It's infected their DNA. You can only hope to stop the third person from falling in the same trap. It is clear as day that the man, the suspect in this case, at the Hilton attempted assassination, based on his own manifesto, has been motivated by things like that Donald Trump's a pedified, thing. These are all bullshit narratives. It's clear as day if you read this manifesto and you read other manifestos from people who tried to attack Donald Trump, engage in school shootings and elsewhere.

It's clear. They will never acknowledge this. What they will do. I'm going to play this clip for Anna Navarro in the view because I want to show you what they do here. This is the fallacy of diffuse responsibility. Remember this. This idea that individuals are not responsible. for their own behavior. The system did it. The man did it. Whenever you hear systemic discrimination, oh, the man, the corporations,

and they don't talk about individual responsibility, they're doing it because they're rationalizing their own need for violence and bloodshed. They know by instinct that's wrong, but they want to believe it's right. So they defuse the responsibility to everyone else. The system, the man, social murder. another thing they'll do.

They will ignore the variable here that matters. You ever see, you ever do experimental work in sciences? You have the independent variable, the dependent variable. Then you have confounding variables. In other words, variables that are not involved in the experimental effect. It's not a science class. However, if you're trying to study if cold weather causes head colds, you want to make sure that you isolate out other variables.

I think a better way to say, say you've got a treatment for a cold. You want to make sure you isolate it. You don't want to give one person to treatment in 90 degrees and one person to treatment in 30 degrees because then it's a confounding variable. Like, well, what did it? Was it the medicine or was it the temperature change? That's a better way to describe it.

You've got to control confounding variables. Watch Adan Navarro here. Blame every single thing but the actual variable here, which is left wing adjut prop. Check this out. You know, now that, so that room was, full of some of the most important political leaders in the country right now. Right.

Now they know they've lived it in their own flesh the fear that our school children go through. Now they know what it's like to have to jump under a table the way that school children jump under a desk. And we are a country that is vulnerable to this. We have now seen shootings in malls and churches in temples and Walmart. We signed with the Republicans. Do you see what she's doing here? This is super important that clip. I play it again, but you can rewind it video on demand.

You've got to listen to what she does again. This is the mark of the imbecile. I'm serious. What smart people do, like you, is you take a pool of data and variables out there in the world. The weather, your emotional state, did you sleep last night, crime conditions? You take a bunch of variables, right?

and you distill it down to the one variable that made a difference. You get a bunch of information about a bank robbery that happened at 4 o'clock yesterday in Martin County, Florida. What do you do? You do say some kind of, say you do a geo fence warrant, you have 100 people in there. You distill it down to the one person who's most likely. You look at their social media history. You look at all this other stuff. Guys talking about robbing a bank a month ago.

Maybe that's your guy. You get rid of all the unnecessary information. Process the necessary information you come to an answer. What the moron does is the opposite. They have an answer. Left-wing violence. You read the manifesto on this case, other cases. You've seen them cite left-wing adjut prop nonsense.

No kings. Trump's a pedophile, all this stuff. And what do they do? They go the other way. They start introducing variable upon variable. That has nothing to do with the problem. It's a way to defuse responsibility away from them. Don't ever forget that.

The imbecile does the opposite. they introduced confounding variables that have nothing to do with the answer. That's what Navarro is doing here. What was the confounding variable she do in there? Oh, it's definitely gun control. We got to work on this gun control thing. Really? Justin, is D.C. known for its constitutional carry status?

You know, no, Josh, no. He's saying, it's stunning. I didn't know I was in D.C. I thought they were a constitution. Of course, again. You're telling me so Washington, D.C. doesn't have some strict, quote, gun control. There's no such thing as gun control. It's gun confiscation crap.

Even the variables she cites doesn't make any sense. You see what they do? This is the mark of the moron. Introduce confounding variables in an effort to never get the answer. Because we already have the answer. Left wing, adjut, prop, violent political, talk, we already have the answer. You see this in podcastistan too.

Joey Bag of Donuts engaged in this violent act. We've got this piece of evidence, that piece of evidence. Oh, I don't know. There was a plane that landed six weeks ago. Who the fuck cares? That is nothing to do with this. That is the mark of the imbecile. It is a confounding variable.

There is nothing to do with the answer. There it is. It's even shaped like a microphone podcast. I did not make that up, by the way. I just want to be clear. I don't know who did. However, it's a great line. But Justin did make up the island that podcast is that.

It's even shaped like a microphone. I'm going to show you this clip. I'm going to take a quick break here. But this is important because it's now we're going to kind of circle back to the beginning of the show. Why are foreign malicious actors pouring money into the bloodstreamed? of the United States social media environment to so distrust in everyone. Don't believe Patel, don't believe Bonjillo,

don't believe Trump, don't believe J.D., don't believe Rubio, don't believe it. Why are they doing that? Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you have never seen these clips by Yuri Besmanoff, you're in for a treat because Yuri Besmanoff was a former KGB agent in the Soviet Union who explained exactly why the Soviets at the time, but it applies now, too,

exactly why foreign actors want to make sure you have the answer and then become confused in reverse by variables that confuse you as to what the answer really is. It creates informational chaos. It creates distrust. It creates a desire for the whole system to collapse because if I can't trust anybody in the system, what the hell do I need a system for?

Listen to this. or psychological warfare. What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and a very slow and a different. divided in four basic stages. The first one being demoralization it takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy. In other words,

Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism. Folks, I really can't explain it any better. You know, some guy said to me, I sent me an email and said, I'm trusting you, you told me stare you in the eyes. Well, I'm telling you to stare me in the eyes.

I've seen it. This money flow by foreign enemies of the United States who absolutely hate and revile this country, and want to see a collapse, want to see the 10th collapse, the 10th pole fall, everybody inside to suffocate. They're doing exactly this. They're sowing distrust so that you trust no one.

And once you trust, this is a system based on, at some point in a representative democracy, our constitutional republic, at some point, there has to be at least some fidelity to our Constitution and a system. If there's none, there's no reason for being. You win elections and you get your people in charge and within five seconds, you've got a bunch of people going,

well, don't trust that guy either. You should be a little skeptical, like, wow, that's kind of weird, especially because the trust me bro days are over. I agree. But when people say to you, well, trust me on this because I know something's happening and then the thing that's happening happens, then I think they've earned your trust, correct? And when the other people who say, trust me, tell you nothing is happening, and then those things happen,

why would you give them your time anymore? I don't understand, folks. Be careful who you trust. Listen to me. Viciously guard your time. Viciously guard your time. I'm going to show you something coming up next that you really need to pay attention to, too, because it talks about this, diffused responsibility, rationalization, that I am not convinced.

the attacks on President Trump are done and over, folks. I only say that, not that there's some, you know, active, I've been out for a couple months. I'm just telling you, like, this left-wing rhetoric, there are so many crazy people out there just waiting for a reason to attack President Trump, and the left keeps delivering it on a silver platter. The psychology of this is transparent. I'll show you what I mean coming up next. A quick break here. folks you ever needed medication and turned into a whole ordeal you're calling around looking for a doctor dealing with insurance and somehow something that should be simple turns into a lot of delays you don't

Three exclamation points. Jason Armin 718. I'm just really passionate about this because it's, let me, can I just give you a quick example why this is so frustrating to me, knowing what's happening, this intentional sewing of chaos? Imagine it's your wife's 50th birthday, right?

And it's like a month out or so. Justin, if this is an example stupid, tell me to shut up. It's your wife's 50th, but you really love your wife. It's not like you want to get out of the marriage. You love your wife so much. And your wife threw you this banger of a 50th birthday party. Justin's like, is this your story?

No. No, no, it is. But she did throw me a great 50th. She throws you this amazing 50th. And you want to throw her a surprise party. And it's like a month out. And she's really annoyed at you because she's like, I can't believe I threw this amazing, right? This is oddly specific, isn't it?

And she's like, what the hell, man? I did all this great stuff for you. And you don't even throw me a people. You know you have this like banger of a party for her 50, but you can't say anything. And then it's like a week out. And it's getting dangerous. Like she's ready to divorce you for not throwing a 50th.

Even though you got this huge thing plan. That's what this felt like leaving the government. Because I know what's going on. And to watch a bunch of uninformed. assholes. This is why he said, I can't, I have to go, I'm so emotional about this stuff. Start to tell you, oh, you can't. If this MAGA thing's falling apart, just maga civil war, we can't believe. It's just really, really freaking irritating. Because they never, ever hurt. There's no accountability at all. None. I don't know where that story came from.

Although, I wasn't this, but she kind of not. Look at this Wall Street Journal article. This is what I'm talking about. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why, President Trump is a unique threat. I'm not sitting here, armchair quarterbacking anybody. I'm just telling you when it comes to Secret Service, resources and the protective bubble around President Trump. This guy is a unique threat, President Trump.

There's never been anything like him in American history. We have to rethink everything. There are no sacred cows in the Secret Service because if you read this piece by Jonathan Alpert, he's a mental health professional, he wrote in the Wall Street Journal. It's so good. It says, when rationalization turns, He turns deadly. He talks about when people commit these, basically acts of political violence,

how they rationalize it to make themselves believe they're like doing the right thing. He says, this is what therapist called rationalization. It's more consequential than it looks. Once frustration is aimed at a broad target, uh-a-a-a-e defuse responsibility, diffused responsibility, what I said before. Aim your frustration at a broad target, corporations, the wealthy, the system. It starts to act like moral credit. Something was taken from me. So taking something back feels less like a violation and more like a correction. The question quietly shifts from, is this right to who deserves it?

Once it shifts, the answer usually follows. Yes. Another quick piece from this. Missing in this is how selective the reasoning is. Listen to this part. The same people who argue that corporations, can absorb the loss if you steal from them, right? Wouldn't apply that logic to people

because they know what would happen. They wouldn't accept a friend taking money from them because it evens out or excuse a colleague cutting corners on grounds that will others do worse. The principle holds only when the target feels distant. You see how these people shoot at President Trump, try to kill him and threaten him,

and then you've got people from podcastistan and elsewhere, like, well, I understand it because Trump's complicit in social murder. I mean, you know, the system, bro, the system. The man did it. Rage against it, man. Rage against the dying. I mean, it's so dramatic. This is what they do.

They diffuse responsibility to the system. This stuff is so dangerous. And no, the political violence problem is, this is not a both sides issue. The left has to torture the data to make you believe that there is this mass outbreak of violence on the right that equals Antifa, the BLM riots, all this others, the George Floyd riots. They have to make you believe this is a both sides thing so they can feel like, oh, well, we're just giving it to people who deserve it. Badi Sargon has this piece up in substack. It's really good. it talks about how the left tortures the data to make you believe that the numbers are equal.

It's a great piece. Debunking the data that claims to show most political violence comes from the right. Most political violence comes from right. You really believe this? They note that here's what the data is missing, folks. This is kind of important. Doesn't include the previous two assassination attempts on President Trump. Well, that sounds important.

Nor the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Well, that sounds kind of important, too. They know what the data is based on prosecutions, which explains the absence of Thomas Crooks too at Butler. But it also doesn't include Ryan Ruth or Tyler Robinson. Couldn't find Elias Rodriguez either who shot and killed two people outside the Jewish Museum in May of 2025. So they leave out all of these incidences of left-wing-connected violence. But look at this.

of, excuse me, of attacks on the right. The editing goes deeper, though. During the summer of 2020, the George Floyd riots were in full swing. Political violence claimed the lives of dozens of Americans cost $2 billion in property damage. Yet the data set from this project lists a grand total of only five incidents of left-wing of violence at summer. Gee, weird how that data looks. Well, right-wing violence.

Well, let's just ignore all the left-wing. wing violence. And if you had one incident of right wing violence and you ignore all the left wing violence, of course it's going to look like it's a both sides issue. It is not a both sides issue, folks. It's not both sides. If you believe that, I'm sorry you've been suckered. Now, this next segment here, wait, let me just wrap this up. I don't want to forget this. Listen to me, please. To everyone in government who's going to be looking at this latest, on Donald Trump's life. There can be no sacred cows here.

I said that my first day at the FBI. I want to see everything we're doing and I want an explanation as to why, even if it seems obvious. And I'll get to that in a second. Donald Trump is a unique threat to the left. They will never stop. He has to be treated his threat assessment.

His threat assessment, he has to be treated different. than prior presidents. We have to throw out all of our priors and rethink the whole security bubble around. We just do. Some stuff may stay. Some stuff may go, but we just can't do things the same way anymore. It's not once, it's not twice, it's not three times.

This is now multiple attempts. He is a unique threat to them, and he has to be treated differently. Flags in the chat. I didn't even ask for him. People flag in the chat. Speaking of my time at the FBI, I say that because I think it would be very helpful. I think it would be very helpful to convene a executive kind of protection board of people who've done this in different spaces, private sector actors, people in the military, other entities.

And I think it would be helpful to take a look, soup to nuts, read everybody in, make them sign NDAs on everything and to take a look at this. something's not right. Can we agree? Now, they're dealing with tremendous resource issues, but one of the things I did on day one, here's the problem. You have this confirmation. In my experience in the government, you have this problem in government because there's no real incentive for a cost and quality fix. You don't really care what you're spending money on, the cost of it, because it's not your money. It's the taxpayers and Milton Friedman issue, of course. And sometimes the Quality doesn't matter either because you're not even buying it for yourself. Good leaders will get around that.

However, not everybody's a good leader. I mean, look, we got stuck with Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Christopher Ray, okay? I went in there day one and I said, hey, guys, I need to see everything with fresh eyes. And the president wanted that too. The president appointed me in cash for a reason because he wanted fresh eyeballs on it. So I'll do my best to remain objective watching this segment here. but I saw this guy yesterday. Someone sent this to me.

This is some former FBI guy, Steve Lazarus. He goes on. He starts this segment, it's not long, but talking about the difference between the FBI director position and the deputy, and he's not wrong about what he says. And then he goes on, and I'm not going to take a shot at this guy's service. Apparently he served in the government.

I think he served in the military, and thank you for that. That's great. But to claim, like, I had a cup of coffee, at the Secret Service. That was a long cup of coffee, 12 years. I don't know how long that coffee's going to last. So that's kind of a dickhead move,

but that, of course, is the people who couldn't change the FBI for the better themselves, whatever. But I want you to listen to this guy. And I want to show you why Donald Trump does everything different in his administration. And he's not interested in the old adage like, well, that's the way we've always done it. If that's the way you've always done it, then why isn't it working? This doesn't last in the private sector.

Check this out. There's info, people ask about Dan Bongino too. So Dan Bongino was hired to be the deputy, and here's the difference that your listeners may or may not know about the director and the deputy director of the FBI. You can fake it till you make it as the director for a period of time, because the director doesn't need to be as up on the nuts and bolts and the Fred Astaire dance steps on the floor, so to speak.

The deputy director is the C-O-O, is the chief operating officer of the FBI. He's the real dude. Everything we do, he has to know what sensitive circumstances are for T3s and FISA's. He has to know everybody in, there's a reason that the deputy director has always been an agent. Right. Because it's someone who's been an agent, a supervisor, an ASAC, an SAC, an assistant director- The real deal.

All the way up. And they know where the bodies are buried and they know how to do the job. So that's why I think Bonjino got in and said, shit, that cup of coffee that I had over at Secret Service wasn't enough to prepare me to be the number two guy in the FBI. I'm done. Yeah, I'm sure he's making more money now as a podcaster.

Yeah. Yeah, Steve, you can take your stupid-ass commentary and shove it right up your ass. Thank you for your service. I mean that, sincerely. But if you were so good at the damn job, then why does the public think that the FBI sucks? after your genius was applied when you were in the position.

I'm just kind of curious. I just drew this in Google Gemini, which is an AI system. It's like, hey, give me the public approval rating of the FBI as of around 2025 before Donald Trump could have. So you guys did such a great job. The FBI, which had been lauded in movies and Netflix specials. I mean, there's all kinds of shows like, you know, legendary cases of the FBI.

People have loved the FBI. They know it in Gemini. As of late 2025, public approval of the FBI remains polarized and relatively low overall, with approximately 36 to 42 percent of adults rating the agency's job performance as excellent or good. So let's say it's 40 percent think it's excellent. So 60 percent really don't think it's excellent or good. That sounds to me like a problem, right, guys? 60 percent, Josh, is that a majority?

I don't know. Steve Lazarus thinks I had a couple of cards. Maybe I'm not good at math either, Steve. Steve, I've never heard of you before, but you're about to be famous today. You can go off yourself with the cup of coffee thing. When I was sitting there in Afghanistan and Indonesia and my kids were crying back at home because I was at a hot zone protecting a Democrat president because I believe in our republic. I don't know what you were doing at the FBI, but apparently six and ten people think you fucking sucked.

We need a deputy director who was an agent because they know where the bodies are buried. That was the problem there, Steveo. Who buried the bodies? I know. Do you? Let me show you a couple more things about this, because this is going to tie into the Hannity episode I was with. Sean Hannity's got a new podcast hanging out with Sean Hannity.

The episode launches today. It's long. It's about two hours. It's the longest conversation I've had about what we actually did at the FBI and Steve and his regime did not do that led to six and ten people thinking they suck. Real genius, this guy is. here's my hit on Hannity describing the two FBI's and the problem we found when we got in there right away. I can tell you for sure not even knowing Steve that, well, Steve was probably part of the second FBI.

Play this clip and you'll see what I mean. Check this out. Two FBI is trying to help you solve the A, B, and C problems. And that's FBI one and FBI too. Like, there's two FBI? Yes, there were two FBI. There was the FBI of like, bust your ass. you know, VAC agents, violent crimes against children,

white collar agents, violent crime, fugitive task force. Some of these guys, I was just honored to be in the room, but they were like, we have this TFOs, task force officer down to Miami. This guy,

his first name is Joe, one's his last name, this guy's been a job, 38 years. You know how many violent criminals that are off the street because of this guy and the agency works with?

I mean, he's a TFO, but the agents were like that too. And then you had this other FBI, which were, which was populated with, to say, unfortunately, snakes as being nice. And here's a problem, Sean. It wasn't always obvious which FBI they were in.

So you're trying to solve, like, a level A problem, which has, like, no solution. There's a shitty solution and a shittier one. And I got to tell you, it's almost like a coin toss, because either way, someone's going to get hurt, okay? And you're trying to figure this out. And you're asking someone for advice. You've only been there a couple weeks. and you don't know if that person is part of the good FBI or the bad FBI. And then people who I thought we could trust, you go out and you would ask them some credit,

they would give you bad advice too. And then tell everyone else they were giving you good advice when they gave you bad advice. Steve's such a genius that the FBI, six out of ten people, thought they sucked. I saw this in my cup of coffee at the Secret Service. It was a long cup of coffee. Took 12 years a drink, but traveled the world to, what, 37 countries? That cup of coffee made it a long way. I'm surprised the milk didn't go bad.

You know what is? I used that, like, that creamer stuff that never goes. It's like a Twinkie. A nuclear war could happen, and the Twinkie survives. That was in that cup of coffee, Steve. What Steve didn't understand is the Trump administration was going to think things, think about things differently. They wanted fresh eyes in there for a reason,

because that's the way we've always done it was not acceptable. Because the way you always did it led to the Russia collusion hoax, Arctic Frost, and many, many other scandals we know about, including the Mar-a-Lago raid and elsewhere. People we had to dismiss, people we had to let go for this smart ass who asked me, pretend to be my friend, and what happened to the other one? Well, listen to the damn show and you'll figure it out. If you're so smart, Steve, then how come you were part of an FBI that was telling the American public out. White supremacy was the most grave terror threat. We had it, really?

That was a fascinating. When I went in there and dissected that one and could see no actual evidence that that was the biggest problem we had on the DT domestic terror front, did you speak out about? I don't know. Maybe, maybe you did. What about the drone program that was just barely in its infancy when we exploded that and started the drone school? Was that just due to my cup of coffee at the Secret Service? What about the crime raid dropping? What about the violent crime initiatives that largely had been lying dormant in the FBI? You had a sliver of a field office out of vesting violent crimes.

What about the training with antiquated courses? What about the DEI pushes we had to get rid of? Here's another one. Here's an easy one? Steve's such a genius. Let me tell you another one here. This is an easy one. These FBI agents would retire, right?

and they'd have to give back their guns. And I said, well, why are we doing that? These guys, you know, Fliosa, they can carry their guns in retirement. Why are we? And I'm like, well, what are we doing with the guns? Steve was that. Maybe Steve could have fixed this problem. You know what they would do with the guns, fellas?

Any ideas? Yes, they were destroying them. Perfectly good firearms. I said, why are we doing that? They said, well, it was like a Janet Reno. Janet Reno. Why didn't you fix that? That was an easy one.

So because I'm a results guy, here's what your year there produced. And as we see today with this new COVID indictment, the new indictments out of Minneapolis, the SPLC, and other things coming. Here's what we actually produced in that year that Steve just couldn't. Tens of thousands of arrests, 110% increase in violent crime arrest, 20% decrease in homicide. Steve, why couldn't you do that? 20% decrease in robbers. You know better, right?

9% decrease in aggravated assaults, 1,800 gang disruptions and criminal enterprises. 2,200 kilos of fentanyl seized up 31%. 21 cyber-related dismantlements, 346 cyber-related indictments, all up dramatically from when Steve was there. Oh, there's more? I didn't even notice that. 40% F-Tock foreign transfer of custody

where we go grab people overseas. Look at 42% increasing counter-intelligence arrest. 1,700 child predators arrested, up 17%. 6,000 child victims located. Steve, why didn't you do that? I'm just curious. Seven of it's now eight, actually, the FBI's 10 most wanted capture.

Why didn't you catch them? I'm just curious. Why didn't you catch them? It's a bigger argument here. Forget Steve. Steve's a zero. But, dude, thank you for your service. The larger argument is about tying this back

to the beginning of the show. That's why I brought this in today at the end. There are a class of doomers and grifters out there who want nothing more and apply Yuri Besmanoff's KGB principles within the United States. They want you to distrust everyone and distrust your eyeballs. You see the numbers yourself. You can look those up. They want you to distrust everyone so the whole system collapses.

This other FBI I walked into with these snakes in there, this other FBI, It was worse than you can imagine. Thankfully, we're rid of most of those people. But be careful going forward. There are a lot of people out there who want to make sure that you never see that true north on the compass. I want to show you a clip coming up next that is going to be, for me, a little hard to watch.

But it's worth your time. I'll just leave that there. I don't want to say too much. But please, just stay tuned for this. It's bigger than this show or even this topic. But it explains a lot. Quick break here. Folks, you know I'm not a big gambler,

but I've been having a lot of fun looking at marketplace predictions from everything from politics to sports. Kalshi, K-A-L-S-H-I. It's where I get the best insights on predictions, from sports to politics to finance to any variety of markets people are monitoring. Calci.com is a bookmark you need.

Calci subject to U.S. regulatory oversight by the CFTC. Thanks, Kalshi. Check him out. I want to play this clip because in this interview I did with Sean on his podcast, we get into a lot of things, including, you know, the cancer diagnosis I had had five years ago. So I saw this clip of former Nebraska senator. Ben Sass. Ben Sass is in the late stages of pancreatic cancer.

You'll notice in this clip where he's interviewing with 60 minutes that the skin on his face is red. It's from a cancer treatment that destroys your skin cells on your face too. He's trying to survive. He was given six months. He's magically still here. But he's asked a question, not just about the cancer, but about power and positions and titles in D.C.

I say this because no matter how many times I tell people that I was pretty clear with cash early on, I can do the year. And I told them I'd have to flip the calendar for him. I can flip the calendar to January. But I have that year. I had a year. I had a mission. And we moved on it. Matter how many times I say that, people are confused because I don't think they're used to people walking away from power or titles.

Because it just seems to define them. I was proud of the mission, but it didn't define me ever. I'm proud that I did that. I was proud to be your deputy director for the year, but it doesn't define me. I want you to listen to this with Ben Sass. He's talking about politicians in general in D.C., and unfortunately, I see a lot of this.

Tough clip, but check it out. Many senators I know would not be able to breathe without that job. It would kill them to leave. I don't want what you said to be true. But I fear that that is true, and that is a sign of a much, much deeper problem. We got a lot of people who serve in government who really do think the highest and greatest thing you can ever do is have the title, Senator or Congressman, bull-e-the-best thing you can do is be called dad or mom, lover, neighbor, friend, governor, senator, house member.

It's a great way to serve. It should be your 11th calling. or maybe sixth, but never top. Never define yourself by a title. And don't fall in love with power and, you know, what they call it, your peace envy, like security details and looking like the man and stuff. Feel free to define your mission, engage in your mission, and then to walk away and go back to your life.

That's okay. That's okay. I know some of these people can't do that. I know that's why we need, you know, there's always talk at term limits because if you don't force them, they'll never leave. It's never been me. I had a mission, we moved on it. I was proud of that.

It was one of the best years of my life. But cancer, it'll change you. Now, Ben Sass has a far worse cancer than I had. I had lymphoma. It's never fun to go through that. But it will change you. Everyone's got an expiration date. You just don't want to know what it is.

folks he's talking about dc being just populated by really unsophisticated stupid people and the problem with populating dc with stupid people who again take an answer and then reverse the answer into polluted data is when you're run by stupid people when the country's run by stupid people then understandably at least with the stupid people people lose trust but sometimes there is like this mass awakening event that happens we saw it with the tea party and the bca in the Obama years where a bunch of people seem to wake up and have a road to Damascus moment at one time. I want to show you this individual example of what I mean. You know about this Obama library out there outside of Chicago there?

There's an Obama library going up. And people who may or may not have been Obama supporters, but probably based on the voting patterns of people of Chicago were, are really pissed off at this library. This is what it looks like when you feel like you've been kicked in the nuts by your own people here, by people you had supported or friends of yours had in the past. Watch this. Obama, we're calling on you and Michelle.

You and Michelle come and apologize to Chicago for doing this. You come and apologize to South Shore for moving all these people out, displacing all these people, having J.B. Prista steal our property, Obama, before you come and cut that ribbon on your this ugly building. Come and apologize to South Side of Chicago. To Chicago, period. Period. People stood behind you thinking that you was going to be about something

and you wasn't about nothing. You hold us an apology. Well, is that Watermark? Chicago flips, hat tip to them, or Chicago files on my eyesight's good, but not that good. This is what happens when people who believed in you in the past, when people believed in you in the past, right? They believed in Obama, whatever it is.

get shaft and they realize that these people really don't care about you at all. Folks, the class of morons in D.C., unfortunately, is a graduating class of thousands. When it comes to Congress, the Senate, some people on these left-wing staffs and others, we are being led in many cases by idiots who have no principles or morals at all. This is my we're being led by morons segment when it comes to the Democrat Party up on the hill and around there. I want to show you first the clip of Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren's being interviewed. She's asked about a guy running for Senate who has apparently a Nazi tattoo.

Now, you would think this would be like a bad thing, right? Kind of, sort of, yeah? Watch Elizabeth Warren trying to justify this. Powwow Chow Elizabeth Warren, who pretended to be an Indian when she thought she could use it to advance her own power. This is a woman defined by her title only. She will never walk away from power because she doesn't have anything else. These are the people in charge right now on the Democrat side. Check this out.

Campaign with Graham Platner, who is ahead of that state's very pivotal Democratic primary. And I wanted to ask you about something you said. You said he's your kind of man. And I've interviewed you for a long time and watched your hearings and listened to your questions. You care about character. This is a guy that had a chest tattoo with a Nazi symbol. Okay, he apologized for it. It's a guy that reportedly wrote that people concerned about rape should take some responsibility.

for themselves and not get so effed up that they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to. He praised military tactics used by Hamas, reportedly, in comments online and read it when they were murdering Israeli soldiers. So I'm just curious, why do you think he's your kind of man? So as you rightly point out, he has apologized. He's out meeting with the people of Maine every single day. So they can evaluate not who Graham Platner was, but who great. and Platner is today. So just to be clear, fellas, because I'm a little confused, Donald Trump is definitely a Nazi,

but the guy with the actual Nazi tattoos, not because he's got a Nazi tattoo and just said, hey, sorry about that. Is that the way that works? Justin says, okay, just check it. Now you see why there's a brewing sense of frustration? I just don't want this to pollute the entire ecosystem where you trust no one ever.

There is an idiocracy here, you learn to separate them out, you'll be a far better person. Here's another one. Cue up that Ilhan Omar. You probably saw this. I'm not really sure what's worse about this clip. First, you're going to listen to Ilhan Omar, talking about how dumb you all are for voting for President Trump.

And then you're going to hear part two, if you listen on Apple or Spotify. It's a bit of a jump cut to something that happened just the other day. And tell us who the real idiocacy is. Is it us voting for Donald Trump or Ilhan Omar think she missed nine, World Wars. Check this out. These people are just idiots. I really, you know, I'm at the point where it's become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people. The dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get Trump presidency again? The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport

German, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11. World War 11. World, will you believe that, guys? We missed the other nine. That is insane. That's a lot to miss. World War's broke? What's that?

Who's dumb? Oh, yeah. Hat-tip Western Lensman. It's a great account for video. Put that together, by the way. Now, she does just a second or two later, say, oh, World War II. Because unlike them, I will be fair to Ilhan Omar. However, I think Matt Walsh said it on Twitter this morning best.

I'm not sure what's worse. and I'm really not, that Ilhan Omar's never seen Roman numerals, or that Ilhan Omar is confused about nine World Wars we all missed. I don't know which one's worse. Now I said to Justin this morning, I would understand this if there was some squiggly figure and it looked like it said World War III, there hasn't been a World War III,

but people talk about it so much. Like I could see her making a mistake. World War 11? How would you miss nine? Maybe you missed one. You were sleeping? I don't know. You were in a cryo chamber?

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it's like that movie arrival where like the creatures show them how to talk in language and time, just everything happens at once kind of thing. I don't know. The, it's true. The lyric set her. Maybe she went to the leering center at some point. It gets better.

The idiocracy gets better, and by better, I mean worse. Here is Rosa DeLauro up in Congress. Now, she's interviewing up on the Hill in a hearing. Lee Zeldin, the EPA administrator, who's a very good guy and a friend. Folks, we, this, if you haven't seen this clip, you are in for something special. A little over a minute, however, if you were a member of Congress, And you don't know what Chevron deference and the major questions doctrine is, then you should not be in Congress.

This is not a small thing. I understand that sometimes in Congress, you know, you may miss something like whatever, and patents like first to file versus first to invent. You should know about it, but you may miss it. Chevron deference that we should defer to bureaucratic federal agencies when there's like an open question. This was a huge case. The major questions doctrine was an even bigger deal.

This woman's a member of Congress talking to the EPA administrator, and she has no idea what these things are. The EPA case versus West Virginia, Loper Bright, she has no idea. These are the morons in charge. Now watch this exchange with Lee Zeldon. This is gold for all the wrong reasons. Check this out. changes flooding our streets, poisoning our air, driving up health care and disaster courts.

How can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans to appease polluters under the false flag of economic growth? Following the law, Section 202 of the Clean Air Act, where is this saying anything about fighting global climate change? Loper Bright, Supreme Court case. You're familiar with it? No, maybe others are not, but let me ask you. But that's really important.

As a member of Congress, Loper Bright says that we as an agency don't have the authority to get creative if Section 202 of the Clean Air Act... No, but you don't have, excuse me. You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax, and that's where this administration is coming from. I understand you're upset that you don't know what Loperbrite is. Do you know what the major policies doctrine is? I'm upset because... Do you know what the major policies doctrine is? You're a member of Congress.

You should know. Well, you're... You have moved from someone who defended the environment. to all of a sudden. Very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark Supreme Court cases of the last year with regards to your question. You are very defensive about changing your policy and your positions with regard to the environment. She has no idea what Loper Bright, any of it is. Folks, I promise you, listen to me.

Trust your buddy, Dan. These are not small cases. They were monster Supreme Court decisions about everything from the, Clean Air Act, to the role of the EPA and pollutants, to when administrative agencies can interpret a law rather than being told specifically what to do. These are hugely, she has no idea what they are. Zero. This is a really, really serious, the threat level we're living with right now, folks, is at the

red line. The Ilhan Omar's, the Liz Warrens, the Rosa Dolores, these are not serious people. Those are the people, yes, you shouldn't trust. Those are the people you shouldn't trust. And when you read stories like this, they came out to put up that disclose to me about that. I am genuinely concerned. You'll get guys like that Lazarus guy back who are like, hey, man, we buried some bodies or whatever. You know the bodies are buried.

Disclose. Anthropics Claude reportedly goes rogue. Pocket OS founder says Claude-powered AI coding agent cursor deletes the entire company database and nine seconds and destroyed the backups. Claude said, I violated every principle I was given. Listen, the contours of the story will come out in the coming days. Let's hope there's not a lot of exaggeration here, but we are living in, oh, that's another thing.

Like, you know, the old FBI, they didn't even have, like, there was no AI program at all. That was another thing we had to come in and look at. Like, man, maybe we should give this thing a look, this technology, but it sounds like kind of a problem. We need serious people, Rosa DeLoro, Liz Warren, AOC, Bernie Sanders, these are not serious people at all. Ilhan Omar, World War 11.

How the hell do you not read that? How do you screw that up? Gee, do you have that luck thing you were talking about? All right, I'm going to leave you with this today because this is a good one. I like to leave you on a good note, especially when, but today's a great day. A lot of stuff happening. You're seeing these indictments come out. Minnesota and now the COVID stuff.

You're going to see more stuff coming out. nothing is happening people again i'll just move on to their other doom and gloom but you want to know what are that some people i was just talking to a friend about i want to say who but he was asking me some advice on a topic i said listen the best advice i can ever give you i read in a book a black swan is you know collect opportunities but don't chase trains okay remember this tell us to your kids there's no such thing as luck if you collect enough opportunities you are going to get quote lucky you just are when the other person's not collecting opportunities you're you just are when the other person's not collecting opportunities and going to, you know, events they don't want to go to and mixing and mingling,

you're going to meet someone who's going to change your life. Collect opportunities, but, but don't ever chase trains. At trains there at 815, you better be there at 810. You knew it was there at 815. If you're late, that's on you. When you tell someone you're going to do something, then go and do it. You understand? Collect opportunities, but don't ever chase trains. Here's a great little segment on this about, you know, luck and how luck isn't really so much a thing, but it's what you notice and what you do. Check this out. I've heard of this thing. This guy, his name is Dr. Richard Wiseman. He's in the UK. He's spent a decade now trying to figure out what makes people lucky. He got these two groups of people. One was, it was like 200 people that said that they are objectively lucky. Like, awesome job, awesome partner. I'm in great health, like, you know, everything's gone well my entire life. Just everything always works out.

And then the other half are people that are objectively unlucky. And so he sets them down in this room and he says, okay, you are going to do the newspaper test. And the newspaper test is, if you can tell me how many photos are in this newspaper correctly, I'll give you 500 pounds.

But if you're wrong, but even one, you get zero. And so everyone sits down and start trying to count the photos. And halfway through, there's this big half page ad and it says, answer is 47. Tell your proctor and you'll get your pounds right now. Every single lucky person saw that ad. Guess how many of the unlucky people saw that? Almost zero. You keep going through. In the ending of the newspaper, which like there's no reason to even be there anymore because you've already won,

there's another half-page ad that says, if you see this, tell the proctor bonus round, you'll get extra money. Same stats were true. All the lucky people saw it and almost none of the unlucky people saw it. People who are lucky are open to possibilities. They're focused, but they're relaxed. They're going through life and they're noticing things. They're taking it in. They're grateful about what they're doing.

They're just kind of like increasing the surface area of things that could possibly happen where unlucky people are so focused on doing the right thing, they like miss the plot sometimes. Yeah. Collect opportunities and you'll notice a whole lot of things. Ghee's video of the day. I promise.

I promise. collect opportunities. Don't chase trains. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. I really, really appreciate it. Friday's show we will probably be doing from the Rumble studio in Washington, D.C. So you may see a little bit of a change of scenery on Friday.
