And you're right. I mean, we're not going to be able to vote in one election and change the disaster that's going on right now with the Trump star chamber trial and all this stuff. You're right. It's not going to fix itself overnight.

But little incremental changes is the way the left got us here now. Folks, the country you remember, how many of you were born in the 50s and 60s? You're a little older than me. I was born in the 70s. But we've got a pretty relatively young audience. You know, the country was totally different, totally different. I was just having this conversation with Evita about when the real world started and Rachel, when her mom was unseasoned, whatever, two or three or whatever it was. I'm like, the country was a different place. The left did it slowly, folks. Little bites here and there.

Biting at the ankles little bit by bit and you get shorter and you lose your ankle and then your knee and then your hip. It happens over time. Today's show is sponsored by Blackout Coffee.

All right, fellas. Let's get this show started here. So it's working. We did it. What's that show So it's working. We did it. What's that show? We did it. We did it. Was that Dora the Explorer?

We did it. They're finally starting to ask questions about Joe Bryben and his lack of any daily schedule whatsoever. I want you to understand this would be a major scandal for any Republican president, any Republican president. If they got up in the morning, had a meeting, one meeting a day, maybe two, as the president of the United States during this tumultuous economic time, the border, the drug crisis, crime crisis, Israel, China, Ukraine, Taiwan, all this going on. You're telling me you're the

president of the United States and this lazy bum can't do anything more than have a meeting a day. Lazy bum, lazy bum. Some people tell you, I don't talk about the president. Lazy bum, in case you didn't hear it the third time. He didn't hear that. He's a lazy bum. He doesn't do anything. He's a bum. He doesn't do anything. And nobody's noticing this. So we started making fun of him on the show and having producer Jim on the radio show, read his daily schedule, which most of the time is absolutely nothing. Look at this. It's working.

Don't tell me we can't change things. Finally, someone asked this question yesterday. And Karine Jean-Pierre had to do some kabuki dance around. Why the president of the United States don't want to do jack shit every day while you're busting your ass. Take a look at this. As you know, the president is pretty busy today. He has two bilats, as you know, with as you just saw with the Iraqi prime minister and one with the Czech Republic. So it's a busy day focusing on, obviously, our national security priorities and continuing these strong alliances that we have with these two leaders, obviously, two separate meetings and know, continue to deliver for the American people. Guys, he had two.

He had two meetings yesterday. Two meetings. Wow. Hey, Chatsers, he had two. You believe the president of the United States is so busy. He had two meetings. And I think the first one was noon and one at three. The hell is this guy doing all day?

What is he doing? Yogi Lotties? What is he doing? Cardio boxing? What the hell is this guy doing all day? He's not campaigning. You know why he's so secure in sitting in his house trying to take the basement approach again to campaigning? Do you know why? Because he's got Trump through his Democrat carve outs and surrogates down there in New York, locked up in a trial court all day throughout the campaign season, which was done on purpose. Folks, a couple people email me and I always read your criticisms and comments because you're part

of the show. The show's for you, man. It's not my show. It's your show. Said, oh, Dan, what are you incentivizing him to get out more? Don't say that. Then maybe he'll get out on the road. No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. This is one of those things where the customer is not always right. You are incorrect. Yes, we want him out on the road. Folks, every time he goes out on the road, he screws something up. A speech, a name. He doesn't know where he's going. He's fallen all over the place. This guy needs to get out on the road and show America who he is, because every time they see who he is, they're disgusted. And the only reason he is sitting around on his ass all day, this lazy bum, not doing anything in a world crisis.

Everybody's telling us it's going to be the end of the world, World War III, is because he knows Trump's tied down in the Star Chamber trial in New York with Twinkies Alvin Bragg right now. That's the only tactical reason. Now, media people, do your freaking jobs and ask the question like that reporter did yesterday of Kareem Jean-Pierre. Oh, he had two meetings, two meetings. Imagine that you in the chat. You're a truck driver on the road, 12 hours a day, busting your ass, driving through traffic, delivering food to supermarkets so everybody can eat. And this lazy bum's not doing anything.

Well, he's got two meetings. One of them, he practically fell asleep in sitting on his ass, looking his watch yesterday you think this is going to appeal to america the only reason he's doing it is because twinkies brag the manhattan da has trump sitting in a dingy courtroom in manhattan on a totally horseshit case on a made up crime, charging a federal crime that doesn't even exist because the feds wouldn't charge it. I explained to you what this thing is about and stop calling it the hush money trial. There's no,

that's not what this is about at all. Even if it was hush money, even if it was, that's not illegal. This is nothing more than a campaign finance violation trial that the FEC that runs campaign finance stuff said is not a violation. Stop calling it the hush money trial. Why do you always have to incorporate the language of the left if you're in the media? Why? You know why they call it that? Because it sounds bad.

By the way, we pulled this off social yesterday. So Twinkies, Alvin Bragg, this disgusting piece of human garbage, is trying this totally bullshit case, wasting millions of dollars of money, and tying up a courtroom. And he says it's because nobody's above the law. Really? I want you to pay attention about this 30 seconds of clip right here from Fox News back in the day. Here's Eric Sean reporting on all the people who

are above the law in Manhattan and New York City due to Alvin Bragg, this Twinkie Eaton slob, doing absolutely nothing to stop crime. These people are above the law. Just Trump's not above the law. Take a look. Well, you can do the crime now in New York City, but you don't have to do the time. That's a critics is the message from the new progressive Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg. Mr. Bragg has new policies. That's to some is a stunning reversal of the traditional law enforcement policies. Bragg stressing diversion and alternatives to jail time, like crisis intervention, over putting some criminals behind bars. He will no longer incarcerate lawbreakers unless it's murder, a crime that involves

someone's death or a felony. Bragg says his goal is, quote, safety and fairness. He also wants the defendant's race to be considered. Is there any way we can put a screenshot of that up? So I just want to remember what so the crimes's race to be considered. Is there any way we can put a screenshot of that up? So I just want to remember what, so the crimes, just to be clear. Okay, no one's above the law in New York, according to Twinkies, who really needs to put down the ho-hos and the dessert products. I mean, you know, we, folks, you've got like Ozempic, Munjaro, Glucophages out there.

This guy choosing to be a slob is a choice. Like he chooses to look like a slob because he's a slob. He's an absolute slob with zero self-control at all. What is he doing all day? Do you realize what you have to eat to look like that? This slob of a human being? So just to be clear in New York, it's okay. Sex work is fine.

Prostitutes, hookers, no big deal. All good, kids. Don't you worry about it. What was the other one? Fair beating, trespassing. No worry about that. That jump into turnstile, it's all free. Don't worry.

The taxpayers will pay for it. That stuff's a-okay. However, you don't make, look at this. Folks, he chooses to look like that. There's a thing called a gym. You can try to treadmill 10,000 steps a day, bro. It don't even take long. We're supposed to respect this guy?

He's full of shit. Well, he's full of a lot. Maybe some ho-hos, too. I want you to do me a favor. That little clip there, Tony, can we make a clip out of that? Send this to your liberal friends who all are trying to justify this obvious communist political targeting of a political opponent, Donald Trump, by Twinkies here.

This piece of garbage going, no one's above the law. Really? What about these people? Sex workers, fair beaters. What about them? They're okay. So they're above the law. So your premise, no one's above the law, is clearly bullshit. I just showed you.

Everyone else except Donald Trump. What's different about Donald Trump other than fair beers? What is it? He's a Republican. That's so strange. He's a Republican. And Twinkies, when he's not eating sugar-based products filled with lard, what is he doing? Prosecuting Republicans.

And Twinkies is a Democrat, right? Last time I checked. Can you double check that? Yeah, he is a Democrat. Oh, it is? Okay, he is a, that's a, oh, it is. Okay, he is a, I just want to be sure. A little confused. I thought he was a libertarian.

Folks, this case is a freaking embarrassment. A couple things happened yesterday during the case. You know, the title of the show, I said there was a major revelation during this, and there was. And it's really incredible to me that this thing hasn't exploded around conservative media outlets. Folks, they brought in jurors yesterday, and half of them, 50, had to be dismissed immediately because they claimed that they could not possibly put aside their political bias. Have you ever served on a jury? Do you have any idea how bad that is? That nearly half the jury pool had to be dismissed on day one? on day one? If you're a lawyer, a cop, or just an average Joe citizen who's gone to sit on a jury, do you understand how bad that is that 50 people had to be let go for political bias?

You think this guy, Trump, is going to get a fair trial? Are you kidding me? And then the judge, Merchan, this absolute tool, whose family is connected and making money off the Democrat infrastructure, Biden and otherwise, which is the worst conflict for a prominent trial I've seen in modern judicial history. The judge is sitting on the fact that Donald Trump's got to go to his son's graduation. I'll get to that in a second, too. He won't.

He couldn't even make a decision on that. Hey, I need a day off for my son's graduation, which any sensible judge would do. No, this guy's like, I'm going to sit on it for a little while. By the way, showing you again what total bullshit this case is. Is this in the show notes? Bongino.com slash newsletter. Read this story. New York Post. It's by John Turley. Again, a very skilled lawyer. A serial perjurer tried to prove an old misdemeanor against Trump in an embarrassment

for the New York legal system. Turley in the New York Post. So I want to be clear about what this case is about. The way they plus this thing up, this records case to a felony, is they claim that Donald Trump paid off this woman and that that should have been a campaign donation. So what they're basically saying is he didn't properly classify this payment as a campaign donation. Wow, that's interesting. Turley points out something fascinating, which many of you might already know. Nobody's above the law, right? That's what Twinkie said when he's not filling his soup cooler with sugar-based lard products. Really? So misfiling campaign documents and money is a felony. So why isn't John Podesta and Mark Elias, why aren't they under investigation?

Turley notes, Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman, was called before congressional investigators and denied categorically any contractual agreement with Fusion GPS. Sitting beside him was Mark Elias, who said nothing to correct the misleading information given to Congress. Yet there were no charges stemming from the hiding of that campaign funding, though it was all part of the campaign budget. You get the point, folks? Hillary Clinton's team, Podesta and Mark Elias, funded this dossier and classified them as legal expenses, not what they actually were,

which was opposition research to hide the fact that Hillary's team was paying Christopher Steele to make up the pee-pee hoax? Was anybody charged in that? No. But isn't that the same allegation they're making against Donald Trump? Yes.

The difference is the Trump team, it had nothing to do with the campaign. It was an NDA with this woman, that nothing campaign related at all. Folks, spare me the nobody's above the law bullshit. You can take that, roll it up into a little ball and you know where to put it. We're all getting screwed, man. Here's John Yoo on Fox. Again, these folks, these people, Turley and Yoo, these aren't Trump people either. I don't say that as a plus or a minus.

I just say that these are people who don't have a political motive. John Turley is not looking to be the attorney general under Trump. John Yoo, these are not Trump people. They're just lawyers. Talk and listen to this about how bad of a what an abomination this jury did this entire jury press. This guy has no chance at a free trial. Check this out. I think it's pretty extraordinary for in the very first jury pool before you interview anybody. Half of the jury pool already says they're so biased against President Trump

that they can't serve on the jury. This is what we call voir dire, where the lawyers and the judges ask questions of the potential jurors to ferret out any bias. Before we even get to do that, half the jury pool already says they're fully biased. That's only going to feed into, I think, Donald Trump's claim that the public integrity of the courts and the prosecutors is to be questioned as being biased and unfair against them. You know, Katie, folks, they didn't even ask these jurors a freaking question. And most of them were like, I hate this guy so much.

I can't even sit on this jury. Now, some of you in the chat may be asking a question and listening on Apple spot, wherever you're listening, you're probably thinking in your head, well, why didn't these 50 plus people or 50 people who were dismissed? Most of them probably hate Donald Trump and would love to see him convicted. Why didn't they just say like, no, no, no, I'm not biased. I can do it. Winky, winky, nod, nod.

And the answer folks is because these, they're definitely going to go through their social media profiles. So if you're caught lying, it's going to be a pretty big deal. That's the only reason. Because I don't want you to think any of this was done because people are honest. And some of them may have been. But most of them are probably just doing it because they were probably given some sort of instruction like, hey, we're going to check this, you know. Did you make any social media posts, whatever it may be.

Right when they get in the door and even ask him any questions, all of a sudden people are like, I'm out. I can't do it. I don't meet any of that criteria. You think you're going to get a fair trial in Manhattan? This guy's got a better chance at a fair trial at the DNC. Walking in the DNC and randomly picking 12 jurors out of there. Here's a story I was telling you about Barron's high school graduation.

You believe this judge? This is a ground ball. This should have taken 30 seconds. No sane judge sits on this. Why is Merchan, this grotesque judge, obviously conflicted sitting on this? Because he wants to bust his balls, folks. That's it. Trump may miss his son Barron's high school graduation

because he'll be on trial. He's been sent over harsh money payments to a porn star. Notice how they got to put that in there, the harsh money. There's nothing to do with that. It's about an NDA and a simple disagreement about where the money should have come from. That is it. You don't have to justify the behavior. You don't have to like the behavior. I'm not trying to date

Donald Trump or anything like that. But that, this case, is absolute bullshit. All right, I got a lot more to get to, including yesterday, folks. Chad, think about this. I'm going to take a quick break, but I need you to just kind of, you know, kick this around a little bit. If you're a Republican candidate running for president, you should be pushing a federal law. I got wins. Some congressmen are pushing this now. You block or impede any major roadway, any roadway, and you do it intentionally. Protest is, I'm a free speech absolutist protesting in the middle of street is not protesting okay you're potentially costing people their lives stay on

the sidewalk protest all day say whatever you want as long as you don't threaten anyone's life you do you you get in the street and stop traffic mandatory five years in prison. Minimum. I may consider more. You'll be a superhero. You'll win the presidency. You'll win 49 states. This thing that happened yesterday is a disgrace. These Hamas holes, these pro terrorists, all they want to do, folks, all they want to do is kill the Jews. That is all they want to do. That's anything they can do to kill more Jews, they will do. Block traffic? They don't care. They don't care. And they know left-wing governments aren't going to do a damn thing about it.

That coming up in a second. Think about that, though. That's my platform. That's staple, five or six staple issues, that's it. Five years mandatory. Patriotmobile.com slash Dan. What is it? Well, whenever something goes viral, rest assured, a lot of these frauds,

And this may be a hard pill to swallow for some kind of moderate Republicans, moderate Democrats who watch my show. But I'm going to throw it out there anyway. You know why?

Because it's true, and I believe it, and I'm under no obligation to put lipstick on this pig anymore, and I'm not doing it. The Iranian mullahs and Joe Biden share something very dangerous in common. Yes, they do. They want to stay in power no matter what. No matter what. Think about that for a second. Don't just, no matter what, they don't care who gets hurt. They don't care if we get plunged into some global warfare conflict.

They don't care if the economy goes to shit. They don't care if the strategic oil reserve is drained. They don't care if your little boy in school is told he's a girl and they manipulate. They don't care about any racial strife, street crime. The Iranian mullahs and Biden share that in common. They don't care what happens. They will do anything to win this election. Folks, I don't like to bore you with these esoteric stories.

Yesterday's Wall Street Journal op-ed column alone has like three or four stories about things Biden's doing to absolutely F you over just to get elected. I could talk about from like things you'd never think of. They're messing with the Japanese over a steel deal. You're like, oh, OK, why is he doing that? Biden's trying to declare through his syphius like it's a national security disaster. Even as we're begging the Japanese to help us create more subs for AUKUS. And the Japanese are like, wait, you're calling us a national security threat? Why is he doing it?

Because some union steel workers objected to a steel deal. That's it. So he's causing a national security nightmare. Yes, yes, he is. The grid in Texas is getting ready to collapse because of greenies. We're not even in the summer yet. Why? Because Democrats and Biden hate you, love the greenies and think they'll get you and get them elected. Joe Biden, Iranian mullets, two peas in a pod. That may hurt to hear, but you know it's true.

You do, don't you? I'm not talking to my audience. I'm talking about you Democrats out there. Watch the show because you hate me. You know it's true, don't you? Everything I just said is true. Here, what are we doing about these people? Keep in mind, if this was a MAGA meeting,

if this was like a Club 45, 47 meeting for Donald Trump, and this was being said there, I absolutely promise you everyone in the room would be under a federal investigation, if not already in jail. Here's a meeting of a couple of pro-Hamas, pro-Iran people. This is in America, by the way. I want you to listen to this and watch this show. This is happening in America right now. The Death to America crowd is already here. Guy, how do we know they're already here? Guy says maybe we should listen to the video

and we'll see if there's actual evidence that they're already here. Keep in mind, how do we know the Death to America crowd is here? I don't know. Let's just see the video thing. Mar Bar Israel! Mar Bar Israel! Mar Bar Israel! Mar Bar Israel! Thank you. So, it has

two meanings, depending on who you're talking to. It can mean death to or down with. Can we get a Mar Bar Amrica? We can get a Mar Bar Amrica. Mar Bar get a Maribor Amrica? We can get a Maribor Amrica. Maribor Amrica! Maribor Amrica! Maribor Amrica!

Maribor Amrica! Thank you. Hat tip to Free Press. I think it's EFP.com for that. How do we know the Death to America crowd is in America? Because they say Death to America in America. That's not Iran.

Now, you know, I'm starting to notice something too Guy just brought up. Folks, you remember with the mask thing too? You're wondering why the left is so in love with the mask. I'm starting to sense something now. It has a lot to do with control. You'll do what we tell you. We've spoken about that ad nauseum. However, I think Guy's got a point.

They love the masks because they know you'll never see their face and may not be able to make them out on camera. Look at this. Everybody's got a mask on. And the hilarious thing about this thing with these idiots, too, is they're chanting it and they don't even know what it means. They're like, what does that mean? And then they find out.

The guy's like, oh, death to Israel. Can we get America in there too? And they're like, yes, more of that. Death to America too. This is happening here. This is happening here. Again, I'm a free speech guy, man, but I'm not a moron either. You know damn well if that was a MAGA rally and that was being said, which it wouldn't, but you know damn well every single person in this room would be under federal investigation right now. Here were the Hamas holes yesterday blocking traffic. There's never been, I don't care what anybody tells you, by the way, there are a bunch of people out there overplaying this thing.

A lot of them are conservatives too, and I got to tell you, I'm getting a little tired a bunch of people out there overplaying this thing. A lot of them are conservatives, too, and I got to tell you, I'm getting a little tired of it. They're like, this is brilliant. This is not brilliant. Yes, attention is a commodity. This is not brilliant. Pissing off the entire known universe in liberal cities

and then trying to get them to ally with your cause is not brilliant. Here they are on the Brooklyn Bridge. Brooklyn, you think this is populated with a bunch of blood red MAGA hat wearing people? Here they are blocking the Brooklyn Bridge in traffic. And keep in mind, if you've ever been on the Brooklyn Bridge, it has a pedestrian walkway on top and then it has a roadway. They decided to walk on the roadway instead, because that's what Hamas holes do.

Check this out. Where you can see dozens, potentially maybe even 100 or so, of these anti-Israel protesters have gathered and are purposely trying to impede traffic there. Take a look at the left side of your screen. The Brooklyn Bridge has a pedestrian walkway. It looks like things are getting a little physical right now. I don't want to hear it.

This is not 72-dimensional chess. Folks, politics is the power of persuasion. Politics is using political office to project power. This is not projecting power. This is projecting stupidity. You're pissing off the people, the very people you need to help you project power. Here they were yesterday. Here's a guy, just to show you how anti-American these people are. By the way, don't lecture me if you're one of these, like, I love Palestine. Great, great.

I'm on equity, hold a rumble, go to rumble, film your video. I'll give you the platform. I paid for it. I invested in the company. I absolutely worship your right to free speech, but it don't make you right. Blocking traffic is not free speech. Protesting is free speech. Here are these idiots.

By the way, this is definitely not free speech. I'm pretty sure in the constitution, there's not an exception, you know, a right to assemble, right to set a dude on fire. I didn't see, you guys see that in the constitution anywhere? Tony's looking, he's going, no, he don't see it either. There's no asterisks there. Here's a guy with an American flag, the Hamas holes. Look, they set his American flag on fire. Watch his shirt. They try to set him on fire, too, to squirt the guy. Look at this. I don't even know. Is that another death to America?

Is that the Hezbollah flag in the background, too? Oh, look, it is. Look, it's the Hezbollah. You know the terror group, the death to America terror group responsible for the death of hundreds and thousands of Americans. There they are. They got a little number one foamy figure to Hezbollah. Number one. Did they have that too? Little foamy figures. This is an America right now. Put a MAGA hat on that guy again. They're on the floor, proned out in handcuffs right now.

Look at this guy. The guy's got his full terror garb on. Look at this guy. No one wants to know who he is. Nobody cares. The liberals in New York City are like, I don't know. Let him go.

Put a MAGA hat on that guy with the whole terror garb. Dude's in jail tomorrow morning. No, no. He said it right. He gets euphemisms. He's like, he doesn't really mean it. When they say death to America, they're just kidding.

It's like what the guy said. He said, it depends who you're talking to. They mean down with, down with. But you've noticed what he said, though. It depends who you're talking to. When you're talking to one of us, say what it really means, death to America. When you're talking to journalists? It's down with. It's down with.

Oh, okay. That's because there's a little difference there. Death, down, death. Kind of a little bit of this. Wait, one more. I'm going to get that, I promise. I just got to play this one more. How annoying are these dipshits?

So they blocked traffic yesterday on the Golden Gate Bridge. Probably got someone killed who was in an ambulance or police who couldn't respond or some kid or something who needed a emergency uh so you get to a doctor or something like that they block traffic listen to these whiny little assholes whiny little assholes they chain themselves together hey look at him he's in in buckets full of concrete i think you should take that wire cutter and just cut the arm instead. Get the big one. He's like, oh, stop it. Listen, you got to wait. Is there can you play the volume on this? Listen to him. Listen to him whining. My fingers! My fingers are twisting my arm!

Oh, look, we're getting in the street. We're going to chain ourselves together. Okay, we'll just drag the chain of you idiots right over the sidewalk. There you go. Right out of the street. Good. You guys can sit there

on the Florida sidewalk. This is from Brian Griffin via X. And you can sit there on the sidewalk now. Evita, you've only been in Florida for a little bit, right? It gets a little hot down here, right? What do you think the sidewalk feels like at about 12, 1 o'clock in Tampa? A little toasty? Yeah, not good. You guys can sit there, chain together. It's okay. And I recommend to the police officers there, let them sit there a little while. Just let them chill.

Let them hang. We'll get to them. You know, you got other things to do. You got to go get the other people out of the road, too. Just let them hang for a little while. It's going to get nice and warm, man, like a sauna. You know, like heat shock protein. It's good for you. It's good for you. Dynorphins, heat shock. You know, I love sauna. Really nice. So try that out. Folks, don't worry though. Everything is, uh, everything's going great. Just fantastic. Did you see this Wall Street Journal piece? You know, I'm doing the radio show yesterday,

and during the breaks, I don't like to waste time. Don't waste time. This isn't some philosophy show, so I don't want to get off track, but time is a precious commodity. And once you start approaching 50, maybe you'll all agree with me in the chat if you're near my age. Don't waste time. And when I'm sitting there during the break, I read, and I saw this article

by Jerry Baker in the journal yesterday. And this is how bad it is foreign policy wise under this president. And again, I hate to keep prefacing it with this, but I don't want you to think there's some political bias to attack Biden. Jerry Baker is no Trump guy at all. Matter of fact, a lot of his pieces, he goes after Trump. Baker's piece is called When Biden Says Don't, America's Adversaries Do. The only reason I put this blurb from the piece in there is when you see how bad things are, the firsts that have happened under Biden, and you see it all in one paragraph, even the most insane Biden supporter has to be like, they kind of got a point. He notes under Biden, so many lines have been crossed that the world's running out of red paint.

His failure to deter can be measured in the terrifying number of historic geopolitical firsts recorded in the past three years. Think about this. The first major ground war in Europe in nearly 80 years under Biden. The deadliest attack on Israel in its 75-year history under Biden. The first time in its 45-year history that Iran's revolutionary regime has directly attacked the Jewish state under Biden. You see that all in one spot, man. That is a kick in the gonads. This guy sucks, man. And the little buffer zone he has surrounding him of idiots, Kareem Jean-Pierre and Kirby, it's getting embarrassing now. They keep digging and digging and digging, and they just can't tell the truth.

Just quickly, here was Kirby yesterday. He was asked again after the Iranian attack on Israel, which now the Israelis are going to respond to, and we risk a really kind of dangerous proliferation cascade here as people start pouring more money into this on both sides, right? Here's Kirby. He's like confused. Remember we gave him all this money? First he said he knew where the money was going, the Iranians.

Oh, yeah, yeah, we know. Then he said he didn't know. Here he is yesterday pretending none of this happened at all. Check this out. Is there any regret here about unfreezing billions of dollars for Iranian leaders during the president's administration? What unfreezing are you talking about? He unfroze billions of dollars. For Iranian leaders? Yeah.

Really? I don't think so. So first of all. It's for humanitarian purposes, but doesn't that. But you don't believe me. Well, doesn't that free up money for them to spend on other stuff? Where do you get the money for an unprecedented number of munitions to fire at Israel? So first of all, I'm betting, if they're sitting in Tehran,

they're taking it seriously when President Biden says he's going to defend Israel. We put skin in the game, a whole heck of a lot of it, and knocked almost everything out of the sky. So I'm betting they're taking it pretty seriously. And as for this unfreezing, none of that fund, none of those funds, funds set up in an account, by the way, by the previous administration, goes directly to the Supreme Leader. The IRGC can only be used for humanitarian purposes. And we're watching that account very, very closely to make sure that that's what happens.

Folks, did you watch my show yesterday? We gave the Iranians billions. He's giving a diff. This is now the third answer he's giving on this money. Hat tip, our buddy Mays Moore. I hate to play a clip two days in a row. So first they said they were going to account for every dollar we gave to Iran, humanitarian purposes. Then the answer was, we don't really know where the money went. And now we're back to the original answer,

that they know where the money went after they said they didn't know where the money went. Folks, I always bring receipts. I promise you, unlike John Kirby, I will never bullshit you. receipts. I promise you, unlike John Kirby, I will never bullshit you. This guy is a smug, lying piece of garbage who has discredited his entire military reputation. Listen to John Kirby debate John Kirby. Check this out. The U.S. will have visibility and will be able to engage in oversight about where the money was going and for what purpose. If Iran tries to divert the funds, we'll take action and we'll lock them up again. And there will be sufficient oversight to make sure that the request is valid and that it's going through vendors who we and the Qataris can trust will actually

contract for the goods, the medical equipment, the food, whatever it is. The regime doesn't get to touch the money, Peter. It doesn't go to them. They don't get to decide ultimate destination, and they have no direct access to it. John, Iran made two transactions withdrawing from the previously frozen funds in Oman. What were those transactions for? I don't have the details on that, Jackie. You're going to have to let me get back to you on that. I'm stupid.

I'm not wasting your time. These people are freaking liars. They're just bullshit artists. I don't understand which answer is correct, John. Your answer the first time, the second time, or the third time. Because they can't all be correct. I know. I like this.

I like that these guys have taken editorial life. You guys do whatever you want. They take editorial life. If you're watching, if you're listening on Apple and Spotify, tune in at the 44 Markets. I don't control these guys. They're doing their own thing over there. Which answer's right?

Where's the money? I don't know. I thought you say you knew where the money was. We do. Now you just said you don't. Listen, don't go anywhere because I got an important story about mail-in voting coming up. The Democrats are starting to freak out. And I've got some ideas on what's going on.

So don't go anywhere. But one more on Kirby, just again, showing you what bullshit artists these guys are. So a story leaked out yesterday that the Biden administration, while Joe Biden was sunning his nuts at the beach in Delaware, grabbing a little testicular tan,

I saw that caught on in the chat, trying to bump his T levels up. It is sack out there in the sun in Delaware. While there's a, you know, an Iranian attack for the first time in 45 years in Israel going on, he's sitting on the beach with his copper tone, Joe Biden. So even making matters even worse, supposedly we knew about the attack, and he went sunning his nuts anyway. Listen to Kirby again, this sleazeball. Try to do, again, the kabuki dance out of this thing, just like Kareem Chappie.

Well, we know a lot of things. Watch this clown. Check this out. I think you all understand. We have lots of tools and vehicles through intelligence and other information methods to glean a picture of what an adversary may or may not do. Now, sometimes it's right. Sometimes it's not 100% right. We had a good sense of what Iran was planning to do, and we achieved that level of situational awareness on our own and working with our Israeli counterparts.

that level of situational awareness on our own and working with our Israeli counterparts, the notion, the idea that Iran sent us an email or picked up the phone and told us what they were planning to do is just ludicrous. It didn't happen. I don't know how else to be more clear about it. Folks, I just, do you have the turkey story from yesterday, dude? I hate to throw it. I just showed you this yesterday. Reuters, which is like the biggest anti-Trump outlet out there. Reuters, not Bongino.com, not Breitbart. Reuters is reporting that the Turks knew about the attack

from the Iranians. That you don't think the Turks told, right, there it is right there. Thank you. Iran told Turkey in advance of its operation against Israel. Turkish source says. You don't think the Turks told us. Folks these people just freaking lie to you all the time.

They know we went to the beach. They know it looks bad. And instead of just saying, we knew, we screwed her up, what do they do? They lie. And now this will go on for weeks as they cover this thing up. And we just found out yesterday, after what? Was it two years? The Afghanistan attack, the suicide bomber?

Yeah. Was someone that got let out of jail in Afghanistan after we abandoned the base? Like we said, this is what they do. They drag it out. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. Oh, I don't want to waste time because I want to get to this story. Folks, they're really panicking now about mail-in balloting. Now, folks, in the chat, I know this is going to elicit a big response.

My listeners, pod, audio, video, I get it. Mail-in balloting. Let me just put myself on the record. So there's absolutely no confusion. I wish we didn't have mail-in ballot. Do everybody got it? Because I'm not going to say anything more if everyone doesn't understand it. I think it is a far inferior method of voting. The security is questionable and the mail-in ballot has a one, the biggest problem with mail-in balloting is when you vote in person, what happens? You are there. Here. Here's the voting location. There's a Secret Service golf ball and this little cup. This is the I support the current thing mug, okay? So here's the voter rolling on over to the place. They go in to vote. What happens before you go in the voting place?

Somebody there sees you. Oh, hello, Mr. Bongino. You look like a Secret Service couple. You're here to vote, correct? Do you have ID? Yes, we do. What's the problem with mail-in ballot? You don't have to go anywhere.

So nobody sees you. So if nobody sees you and someone takes your mail-in ballot and votes for you, nobody will know because you don't go into the cup. It's like a lot of cups. don't go into the cup. You get the point? I know conservatives are like, Dan, you're explaining the obvious. You have no idea how many liberals either pretend this isn't true

or are too stupid to understand it. Mail-in balloting sucks. However, if we are going to have mail-in ballots and we've got a country to save, then we damn well better figure out a system, which we did in Florida. Mail-in balloting in Florida, it's not perfect, but it's pretty secure.

How do I know? DeSantis won by 20, and Donald Trump won Florida overwhelmingly twice. So if they're cheating, they're either not cheating enough or they're cheating in the wrong direction, which I doubt. We better master mail-in balloting.

And I think the GOP is getting good at it in certain swing states. Why else would the Democrats... Hear me out, man. I know you guys are going to... You're not going to like this. I get it. But I'm under it.

I'm obligated to tell you the truth here, okay? Always measure how dangerous a story is to the Democrats' ideological agenda by the Democrat response. Why are the Democrats all of a sudden, according to Natalia Mittelstadt at Just the News, starting to admit there's some voting problems with mail-in balloting ahead of the 2024 election? Why? Because they want more mail-in balloting? No, I think in certain swing states, they have a feeling that the Republicans may not have stopped the cheating, but may have minimized it to a point where they can't win? And what are they, let me put anyone, wait, Evita, hold on, you all got to listen. What do you think they're worried about?

Anyone in the chat know? What are they preparing us for right now? Remember? Remember how the Democrats always set up a narrative in advance? Why are they calling out problems with mail-in balloting now, April 12th, 2024? Anyone? Because they know they're going to lose.

And they're getting ready right now in the biggest dipsy-do flip-a-roo in mail-in balloting presidential election history to turn around and blame mail-in ballots for their loss. Hey, Tony, write that down immediately. Flag it right. Folks, get some flags in there right now. 11-51, what's the date? April 16th, the day after tax day. Flag it right now. Remember this day. Flag it right now. Remember this show.

Remember it right now. You see, Chasters, you're figuring it out. They are afraid right now Donald Trump is going to smoke them in this election based on the polling. We're not popping any champagne corks, no red wave talk. I'm just telling you, if you believe the polls even a little bit, they are deathly afraid right now that they are going to lose this election and they're trying to soften up the media for the narrative. And wouldn't it be the greatest political irony of all time by this garbage on the left to then turn around. I'm seeing some flags now. Very nice. Wouldn't it be hilarious for them to say these mail-in ballots aren't secure? That's the only reason Trump won.

And any of you out there who think they wouldn't do that, there's no way they would do that. Absolutely not. Man, you ain't been paying attention at all. Folks, they are so freaked out about this entire thing. I want to play this quick clip. This is the, watch them go with the where are your papers thing. They are so panicked about this election. They are so panicked about losing this thing in swing states that are getting away from them outside of the margin of error. They're going back to Nazi analogies now.

Watch this. So now, according to, after, you know, Donald Trump and his insurrection buddy, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, after they had their meeting, now apparently House Republicans are going to pursue legislation requiring proof of citizenship to vote. My question is, so we're going to show proof to Ms. Susie at the polling place? How is Ms. Susie going to verify? Are we asking people to bring their papers? This is America. So I just want to know, is this what all of the House Republicans want to

lay their chips on? Even the 18 that sit in districts that Joe Biden won in 2020? What? So now voter ID is where are your papers? Where are you? I don't even know why I really I just get upset with these idiots. Just keep pushing ahead, folks. Just keep plowing ahead. The changes have not been great. I wish we could have seen more. We've had some changes in North Carolina. Arizona could have done better. There were some changes in

Georgia. They're not great. I get it. I'm with you. I'm talking about voting. I am totally with you. I understand. But we've got a chance to take the Senate, the House, and the presidency. And if we can pass a piece of legislation for national changes in balloting, they will absolutely freak out. They won't win another presidential election. Cheating is their thing. It's their only thing. And I'm telling you, they're getting ready right now, if they lose, to blame the mail-in ballots.

Hey, I wanted to show you just one more thing before we go. They're getting very frustrated. Folks, be proud of yourself today. I mean it. Like, you know, sometimes a lot of bad stuff happens and we get upset in politics, but we don't remember the good stuff. We're starting to squeeze the White House on their schedule. You saw that in the beginning.

People are asking questions. Biden's getting nervous. The Democrats are freaking out about mail-in ballots now. The Democrats are freaking out about voter ID. These are all good signs, but they're also freaking out about the parallel economy. This hit piece on Dana White this weekend from the UFC and the New York Times is not an accident, folks. We are building this powerhouse away from the liberal nutbags, the Hollywood powerhouse. So we had the movie about the child abuse at the border, the UFC, which has been moving farther away, you know, from the cancel culture lifestyle. You have rumble, you have truth, you have Elon Musk buying X. This

hit piece on Dana is not an accident. Dana White, Donald Trump, and the rise of cage match politics. They're starting to freak out that this parallel economy, that they're not controlling the narrative anymore, folks. We are. We're in charge now. And it's not an accident that this came out right after this alternate piece, attacking me and Ben Shapiro. Pro-Trump media landscape is utterly collapsing, folks.

It's collapsing. And they cite how Facebook basically screwed over me and Ben Shapiro after they note in the next one, a wave of criticism. Do you know we were collapsing, folks? We've got 113,000 people here on Rumble right now filling a rather large college football stadium at 1156 in the morning. 3.09 million followers on Rumble. Two-something million on Truth Social.

278, thank you. And another 5.1 million on X. I assure you, fucksticks over there at Alternet, there ain't nobody collapsing but you. You're the D-bags going out of business, not me. Just ask all those people in left-wing media, Vox, The Daily Beast, and others. They're the ones struggling.

This show is doing fine. We got 113,000 people watching this show at 11 o'clock in the morning while you're sitting there in the bathroom with your jergens doing your thing in your office.
