It's a Friday. It's quick. I'll play that for us. But I want to get into a very serious topic. It's kind of a rough transition afterwards, but a necessary one. Something went down in Texas last night. Most of you probably hip to it. It's regarding the invasion at the southern border.

It's not an immigration crisis. It's an invasion. Let's just please stop the bullshit right now. Folks, you know, it's really odd. I wrote about this in my second book, The Fight. I wrote about how all this talk about a civil war, it's not going to look anything like a civil war. It's going to look like kind of a soft secession.

I've only spoken about this five, 600 times if the country continues down this road. And my predictions are sadly coming true.

So first starting out this Friday with a little bit of a smile. I thought this was fake. This was posted. Donald Trump put it on his true social. I said, who did the video, Geet? You know, power tie. This is freaking hilarious, folks. The greatest troll in political history.

It's super easy. I got one. I got 2.6 million followers over there. I'm at the Bungino. Really cool place. All right. Getting back to the important stuff, folks. As I said before, I wrote this, my second book, my first book was called Life Inside the Bubble. My second book was called The Fight. It was probably my least successful book. And I understand why. It's a little wonky on stuff. It was kind of my just deep thoughts on different matters.

I get it. So the book did okay. We did a bestseller list, the New York Times, but it wasn't like a big, huge seller of mine. But one of the chapters I write about is this kind of blue state, red state divide. And I talk about what this new kind of modern civil war would look like, because there's this constant talk of a divided America. And folks, it's not like there's not a history of a civil war in the United States. Joe, the craziest thing, we actually had a war in the United States called, yes, the Civil War. Yes, we actually had one here. And the crazy thing is, it isn't even that long ago when it comes from a historical perspective. So no, you're not insane

if you address the matter, number one. No, you're not a radical if you address the matter. But we should try to avoid this, correct? Matter of fact, when there was talk of a secession movement, I told you about a year ago and I got a lot of negative kind of feedback on it. And that's fine. I'm going to tell you how I feel. I'm not, I don't do the show for feedback. I do it because I believe in something because I warned you about all the downsides of it. How, no matter what you do, the liberals are still going to come after you. It doesn't matter. You can fight now or fight later, but you're going to fight either now with a big landmass or later with a small one. But I warn in the book how a civil war in the future is not going to be like the civil war, you know, in the 1860s.

It's not going to happen that way. That's not how it's going to go down. The way it's going to go down is it's going to be kind of a PR war. It's going to be kind of a PR war. It's going to be kind of a court war. It's going to be a, you know, FBI, DEA, Border Patrol versus state police, Dallas PD, San Antonio PD thing where they're not shooting at each other. They're just involved in an endless litany of legal battles over who can do what. And I'll tell you, what's going to happen is it's going to wind up getting ugly. And I don't mean ugly necessarily violent, but ugly legally

when they start arresting each other. I mean, I wrote about the whole thing in the book. And I call it the soft secession. What's going to wind up happening is because the federal government just sucks so bad. They suck. They can't do anything right. The suck level of the federal government

on a scale of one to 100 is a 97 with small room for improvement on sucking. Everything they do sucks so bad. You're going to see states that don't want anything to do with the suck anymore are going to slowly pull back. Florida, Texas, Louisiana, states with large populations of liberty-loving people who are like, stop the suck. I don't want anything to do with the suck. F the suck. I don't want this shit anymore. But they're not going to disconnect totally. There's still going to be some people who want their social security, are afraid of getting off Medicare. Don't laugh, folks. Everything I'm telling you, you're going to watch in the future and you're going to be like,

shit, that crazy guy was right. You're seeing it now in Texas. What happened last night? Here's Colin Rugg on Twitter. Texas National Guard has effectively seized Shelby Park and Eagle Pass, which is where the illegals were coming in,

preventing U.S. Border Patrol officers from entering the area as a border crisis spirals out of control. The Eagle Pass mayor says the move was done without the city's consent. Eagle Pass, he notes, has been a hotspot for illegal crossings. They know, quote, Texas is holding the line at the southern border with miles of additional razor wire and barriers to keep people out, basically to prevent Biden's open border policies, Abbott's spokesperson recently said. I'm paraphrasing there. Texas will continue to

deploy National Guard soldiers, DPS, and more barriers utilizing every tool and strategy to respond to President Biden's ongoing border crisis. Ladies and gentlemen, I told you we're going to get to this point. It was only going to be a matter of time before these states said, we're not going to allow this to happen anymore. You've got to remember going to be a matter of time before these states said, we're not going to allow this to happen anymore. You've got to remember, this is a battle of pure political will at this point. Okay. You've got a governor in Texas who ladies and gentlemen needs to get elected to the members of his party, him. He needs to keep his political bank account. He may want to run for president one day, Greg Abbott, but I, whether you like Greg Abbott or not, I don't care.

How many times do I got to tell you, you're seeing it right now with this budget deal with Speaker Mike Johnson. Everything I told you is true. Fuck politicians. Pardon my language. I don't care about them. I don't care about Greg Abbott.

I don't give a shit about Speaker Mike Johnson. I don't mean it in a personal way. I wish them the best personally. I don't care about them in a, I don't give a shit about Speaker Mike Johnson. I don't mean it in a personal way. I wish them the best. Personally, I don't care about them in a... I don't care. I have no allegiance or loyalty to them at all. I care about outcomes. And the way to enforce outcomes is with political power. Greg Abbott wants to run for president one day. Greg Abbott wants to leave Texas with 60% approval so he has options in the future, the US Senate, the presidency. He's got to answer to people that are being invaded every day. What did Biden think was going to happen? You know, I write about Manson-Rolson in my book, the idea of concentrated

interest and diffused costs. Biden sees that now. Biden's like, well, if I let a bunch of people invade the country, it may look bad, but the cost to me will be minimal. Maybe I lose Arizona and Texas, but liberals around the country love it. In other words, the interests are concentrated, but the costs are diffused around the whole country. So I'm okay. But what Biden didn't take into account is that same principles working for Abbott. Abbott's like, do I start a shit storm with the federal government right now and kick them out of this place? Well, I've got concentrated interest too in getting reelected or getting elected to the Senate or getting elected to the presidency.

Of course this was going to happen. Look at this. This is what it looks like over there at Eagle Pass. How long did Biden and his dipshits think? Look at this, folks. This is obviously an invasion. This is not the immigration process. Why, Joe? Do we have a, Joe, they have this thing in the immigration process. Do you happen to know what it's called? The immigration process? That's what it's called. I'm sorry. I don't mean to ask dumb questions because you're like confused. I don't blame you. We haven't. That's not it.

Keith, show it one more time. This is not the immigration process. I have people in my family who went through it. This is not it. You don't show up at Eagle Pass in the middle of the night and go, I'm here. That's not it, folks. That's not it. It's amazing. I just came back to the United States from overseas just a week and a half ago, London and Paris in Paris and France. And I had to go

through this whole verification process to get this global pass ID. I still had to show a passport, go get a retinal scan. I'm dead serious. I had to go see a CBP guy, explain why I was gone. That is not the process to enter the country. Listen to me. Let me show you what this dystopian future, because none of us want this. You do not want even a soft secession going forward. It's going to create, all we want are people federally

who get out of our lives. This soft secession going forward is going to look like this. You're going to see states like Florida with people like DeSantis and Texas with people like Abbott, who've had enough of the bullshit. And they're going to say to federal agents, you know what? You're not executing that warrant on a political opponent here. I'm sorry. I'm sending out the National Guard. No, that's not going to happen. Just wait. Just wait if this weaponization of the government in an unconstitutional matter continues. I'm not telling you this is a cute future. Anybody should pray for this. But I'm telling you, make no mistake. We're getting there right quick if I can steal expression from the South, if you'll allow me as a Northerner. Texas is, I mean, do you understand the gravity of what

happened last night? Texas basically said to the federal government, get the out of here. We got this. What's going to happen when they try to get back in? I mean, has anybody thought this through? And by the way, so you're totally not confused. I'm absolutely on the side of Greg Abbott. Let me unconfuse anyone quick. I'm just giving you the reality of the situation, that it should not have gotten to this point because the shit's getting ugly over there. Both of these sides have guns.

What if there's an incident? Man, I'm telling you, if you want, borrow a book from the library. I really don't give a shit about making money off a book from 10 years ago. I'm totally uninterested at all.

Borrow it from a friend. I don't care. I'm just telling you, read that chapter and you're going to be like, man, you wrote this 10 years ago? Yeah. It's exactly what's happening now before we had this immigration crisis.

Folks, we're in a dangerous spot. We're in a really dangerous spot. You combine all this with this new DIE stuff, diversity, inclusion, and equity, which is going to cause someone to die. I read something the other day. I mean, that to me is just as damaging to the invasion at the southern border. I read it and I was like, this can't possibly be happening. You know, and then I thought to myself, I hesitated to say because I've left.

I'm gone a long time and I don't know what they're doing now. But you would never believe the spaces that a hit or miss event. I want to explain this right. Ladies and gentlemen, there are things we should never do that aren't merit-based ever. Brain surgery, piloting airplanes, protecting the president. These are occupational spaces that should only be occupied by people who possess the skill to do them. I know that seems self-evident. Every one of you in the chat is probably like, no shit, man. I don't want anyone operating on my brain. I don't know what they're doing. Yeah, I get you. I get you understand that, but that's not where we are right now. And I want you to think for a

second. Why is that important? Well, Dan, I think it's obvious you're operating on my brain. You don't know what the hell you're doing. You could kill me. Yes. Thank you. Because ladies and gentlemen, the chance of a negative outcome doesn't mean you're going to lose a fingernail. It means you die. It means the finality of it. The president would be killed with city secret service guys. A pilot will take down a plane because he doesn't know what he's freaking doing. And a neurosurgeon will get a plane because he doesn't know what he's freaking doing. And a neurosurgeon will get you killed because he's got your skull open and he could cause a major bleed out. We have gotten to the point.

This is how freaking dangerous the left is. It's not just their open borders. It's not just their defund the police. Ladies and gentlemen, these people would rather see you dead than admit the obvious that their DIE debacle and everything else is causing the destruction of the United States. I can't emphasize to you, which strongly or more passionately, how effed up this shit all is.

Read this tweet. So this is from Keenan, Peachy Keenan on Twitter. I don't know, but a verified account. And I saw it going around. I can't vouch for it. I can only say I reached out to a friend who attested to me that this is not that off. So here's the tweet. He says, I'm getting direct messages from pilot world pilots confirming that things are bad. But this one is really scary. The boomers really are our thin veneer of civilization. As they peel off, so will the veneer. So what is she saying? She got this direct message. And again, a friend, let's just say a friend of a friend, has said, that's not crazy. Here's the message. Every airline has an informal pilot assignment program that makes sure the unfireable DEI problem children are always paired with adult supervision. Keep that up. Meaning what, folks?

Meaning there's some diversity hire who was hired for every other reason other than skill, who the hell knows what, and they're so bad they got to pair them with pilots who actually know what they're doing. If you're thinking, keep that up there. If you're thinking, holy shit, these people are flying a freaking plane. You're thinking right.

Goes on. These programs are maintained by aging boomers who are immune to the Kool-Aid. As these guys retire and their numbers drop too low to stop the true blue DEI believers, guys retire and their numbers drop too low to stop the true blue DEI believers, every flight will be a roll of the dice. And eventually there'll be one with two defective DEI pilots in the cockpit. Pray for the people on that flight. They're going to need it. Folks, I titled this show today, this woke-ism is going to get someone killed. I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know all the stories if it already has. Pilots, you understand the capacity for, I am not a pilot. However, I lived in a neighborhood in Maryland and I used to talk to these guys a lot. One of them told me all the time, it's easy to fly a plane. Landing, it's where all the skill comes in. Anyone can fly a plane.

I mean, anyone can fly a hang glider. It's the landing you got to stick. Ladies and gentlemen, flying is really super complicated. You lose gas. You lose an engine. You got to know all kinds of things about tonnage, weight distribution. Joe, I watch these pilot videos all the time because I'm fascinated by this. They have this expression. It says, what is it?

A plane that's too top heavy in the front is going to fly poorly. A plane that's too top heavy in the back is going to fly poorly once. Like that's it. Like this is the kind of shit people got to think about. You want a guy up front who can't do basic math on weight distribution? Folks, this stuff is going to get someone killed. You know, when I come on the air and I tell you things like, you know, liberals are absolutely committed to doing things, which will lead to a strong likelihood that the country will get wrecked and you may die. I'm not kidding.

Pilots, executives in companies building planes who are being incentivized to DEI hire and not skill? Oh, that's not happening. Here's James Lindsay, an account I enjoy. Gets into a lot of Twitter fights, but I'm okay with that. I like that once in a while. Lindsay, you put out there, he's at Conceptual James. He says up to 40% of the executives' potential pay, he's talking about

Boeing, up to 40% of their pay is that annual incentive pay program. Oh, okay, Joe. So Boeing executives get this pay program. Cool. Which is tied to hitting DEI targets? Wait, wait.

You would think to yourself, Guy, am I crazy? Like, oh, it's not tied to actually building planes? I don't know. See, if I was giving Guy like a performance bonus, Joe, I would give Guy performance, I don't know, extra hours worked, specials we do, not how many people he's spoken to who have like a specific DEI target. For those, I know it is right.

Guy says that's totally right. He's correct, 100%. I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry. I may apologize in advance. For those just catching on, he notes, DEI doesn't have anything to do with aircraft safety. Here, with aircraft manufacturing or safety. Here,

he even puts it up there. They're paid based on equity, diversity, and inclusion. Ladies and gentlemen, these people are building freaking planes you're flying on. So now we've got plane builders being paid on how many DEI

hires they're involved in, and then we got pilots who are hired not on merit, but based on skin color. Holy shit. Does anybody see a problem with this? Am I the only sane one? I don't want to forget to talk about this. So now we're talking about pilots. What about medicine? So now we're talking about pilots. What about medicine? Oh, oh, stay tuned. Stay tuned.

This is going to get someone killed, bro. And this is going to get someone killed quick. This is going to get a lot of people killed if we don't unscrew this thing real fast. Let me take a quick break. I'll show you the medicine angle. I'm going to tell you a little story about my prior line of work because it was all over there too. Patriot Mobile for 10 years. Ladies and gentlemen, get away from Big Mobile. Patriot Mobile, why would you not go with these guys? Stop supporting the left. Glenn and the team love you guys. People are flocking over there.

Now, you're like, oh, Dan. All right. I'll roll the dice. Roll the dice on pilots and planes. Okay, good luck. It scares the shit out of me. Well, what about your healthcare? Now, Joe, you and I are Maryland guys, or were.

I've heard of this place, John's Snopskins or something. Oh, Hopkins. John Hopkins. I know him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know him. It's only one of the elite learning institutions in the entire United States. Also a pretty good lacrosse team. So they're pumping out all these doctors and you say to yourself, wow, it's great.

We got people at Johns Hopkins. I mean, really, really the best of the best of the best. New York Post, Johns Hopkins diversity chief label, Johns Hopkins diversity chief labels whites and males and Christians as quote privileged. Does anybody see that as a freaking problem? So just to be clear, you're in a Johns Hopkins medical facility and there's three or four people waiting to be serviced in the emergency room who are all critical and one's white and one's black and one hits one's Hispanic. Now you got to be worried that the decision to treat is not based on a medical triage, but based on the color of your skin.

What the, what is that? Really, bro? Folks, someone is going to get killed if they haven't been already. It's story time with Dan Bongino. You ready? He doesn't like story time, but it's story time because this is a doozy. So I was getting cancer surgery up at a hospital up in

New York. I was having a big tumor removed from my neck. Kind of freaking sucks. It was a big one. We didn't know a bit. Remember that Joe was like, Hey dude, I got a thing in my neck. It's like a freaking tumor. Reminded me of that scene in, uh, what is it? Old school, dude, you got a dart in your neck. Remember that? So I'm a little nervous. Cause I don't know what kind of cancer it is. And I'm like, shit, man, I don't want to get dead. Like I don't want to die and stuff. So I'm not in a good place. I write about this in the, in the last book. So it is this nurse comes in and she's putting the IV in, which I hate. I hate IV. I don't even like

talking about it. I hate him so much. Oh, stop being a wuss. Totally right. Not even defending myself. I don't like needles. Yes, I'm a wuss. Point stipulated, you win. So now I'm freaking out as much about the IV. I'm actually sweating because I hate needles that much about the surgery, which you're like, Dan, you're worried more about an IV than the actual tumor in your neck. I'm not saying it's sane. I'm telling you what happened. So as I'm sitting there sweating, lady's putting the IV in and it hurts like a mother because I have really sensitive hands. And she looks at me and she goes, so what do you do for a living? And I said, usually I would just lie about it and say I was like an aqua dozer or something. I don't usually tell

people what I do if I don't know, but if they don't know, because it's just not worth the whole conversation. I said, I do a podcast, which I never said. She said, really on what? And instead of doing the smart thing and saying like sports or something, I'm nervous from the IV. That's why I said it. I said politics. She looks at me and she's putting the IV in and she goes, as the Lord almighty is my judge. She says, you're not a Trump supporter, are you? My wife looks at me like, holy, did she? Joe, I know you know the story. I've told you a thousand times. Folks, this is not a bullshit story. I promise you on my life, this story happened. I'm looking at her like, are you freaking kidding me? And when she says you're not a Trump supporter, she doesn't mean it in a nice way. I can read body language like

anyone else. You're not a Trump supporter. I'm like, I'm about to get a tumor removed from my neck. And then she starts to go on. Remember when Trump had COVID and he went out on the balcony and didn't put a mask on and they were losing their minds? This is like a couple days after that. She's like, you believe that guy out on the balcony without a mask? I'm looking at this, me and my wife like,

what the? I'm about to get a tumor pulled out of my neck, man. This is insane. That was it. I never went back. I went to MD Anderson in Houston, Texas, where, by the way, I don't know anybody's politics.

I didn't give a shit. And they never brought it up. Because you know why? Shocker, Joe. They do freaking medicine out there. They could be diehard liberals. Not my freaking business. They always treated me like a gentleman.

I treated them the same way. And let me tell you something else. This was a big problem in the Secret Service too. In case you think like, oh, it's the president's life and the president wouldn't put people around them who are, really? You ever get the chance to talk to Don Jr. or Eric or others about some of the Secret Service people out of diversity they put around them? Talk to Don Jr. or Eric or others about some of the secret service people out of diversity

they put around them, talk to them sometime. This shit is everywhere. Well, Dan, they wouldn't forfeit our national security pumping this DEI shit instead of teaching our military how to be lethal. You ever heard this guy? This guy's up on Capitol Hill. He's a military commander. Matt, I'm sorry, I always mess up his last name. His first name is Matt. Forgive me, sir. I'm not trying to, but he's a commander in the military. He's worthy of respect for his title.

He's up on Capitol Hill. And if you haven't seen this guy's testimony, folks, I'm going to give you a minute of it. It is freaking fire. Here he is for about a minute talking about how lethality, they don't give a shit about lethality. They might spend their time on DEI bullshit. They're going to get everybody killed. Take a look. So Mr. Lohmeyer, what has happened the last three years that has caused lethality to deteriorate in the military? There's been an overt politicization of the

military workplace and the forcing of trainings that are anti-American that criticize our founders that allege that white supremacy is a problem within the military ranks which has never been proven and all of that rhetoric that occurred once secretary of defense lloyd austin took office led to a bunch of moaning and bitching and complaining behind closed doors of our service members and i heard it as a commander. And so I wrote a formal written IG complaint about it that was dismissed by senior leaders because they were afraid of the political and racial climate that we've created in this country. And so they were afraid to hold one another accountable for their politics. Forgive me, Matt Lohmeyer should have known that in advance, totally on me.

forgive me Matt Lohmeyer should have known that in advance totally on me God bless this guy you got to watch his whole testimony it's just freaking fire he makes this point about how these guys in combat if you're combat ready don't give a shit if you're gay or whatever they don't care just want to fight they're there to kill the enemy. That's what they do. They don't need a bunch of shit PowerPoints sitting there wasting their time. These people are going to get someone killed, man. It is your obligation as a CEO, as a university professor, as a small business owner to fight this stuff. Ladies and gentlemen, every sane American out there listening to show and conservative knows that discriminating against someone based on their skin color, it's fucking evil bullshit,

straight up evil. There is no, no ifs, ands, or buts. That is a dispositive period. But ladies and gentlemen, hiring someone clearly not ready for the position based on politics or skin color or religion or anything

else outside of merit is equally evil and candidly freaking dangerous. Pilots, healthcare, secret service, our military, they're destroying our military. I'm going to show you what I mean in a minute. I'm just going to show you a straight up Google search of what America, American media and American liberals want you to believe our military is now. All right, quick break. As you can tell, I have some, now that my nose is better and I'm 1000% healed. Oh, yes. That was a catch. You dropped it. Did you drop it? Oh! Yes! That was a catch and a... You dropped it. Did you drop it?

Folks, back to the show. I did this yesterday. This is my phone. This is a screenshot of my phone. I went to Google for a reason, not because I like Google. By the way, Google's in a lot of trouble. I read an interesting thread yesterday. I don't want to get off sidetrack, but Google's in a lot of trouble. Artificial intelligence has a chance to decimate this company. We'll get back to that another day, but I went to the left's favorite search engine. This is what the left thinks about our military.

This is why lethality is going down and DEI training is going up. I put in, this is my, I'm glad I spelled it right. This is my actual phone. I just took screenshots. White supremacy military. You can see it right there in the search bar. About 25,400,000 results came up. Here's just a screenshot of in order what happened. The violent far right terrorist threat to the military. White's just a screenshot of in order what happened. The violent far right terrorist threat to the military. White nationalists shouldn't serve in the military. You're like, oh my gosh, these are the first two hits. Put up the next one. This is really serious stuff. Is that it? Did I not send you any more? Oh, there we go. Pentagon report reveals

inroads white supremacists have. This is just in order. Pentagon report warns of threat from white supremacists. Holy shit, Joe, we got a problem. The military has been taken over by like the Ku Klux Klan. This is page three, the deep history of white supremacy in the military. Alarming incidents of white supremacy in the military. One in five applicants to a white supremacist group tied, they imply, to the military. Holy Moses, we got a real problem. Folks, this is bad. White supremacy, can we just all agree in the chat, white supremacy, evil, we get it, right? Like that doesn't take a genius to figure that out. And it's the military, it's very bad, Joe.

Now, you know, our people in the show are very sensitive ties to the military. And you know, my family was a military family. I was not to my great regret. So when I hear stuff like that, I think, wow, we got a real problem. And I thought to myself, Joe, you know, I'm a science guy. I know you are too. I like spreadsheets and data. So Google and the left are telling us like there's this massive problem with white supremacy in the military. Has there ever been a study? Oh, look, a study just came out January 5th, 2024. That sounds like a few days ago. Troops do not have an extremism problem, but veterans do study fires. The veterans thing will be debunked next. So look at that. So weird. They just finally did a study on what we were told is a reason to uproot our military and teach them to be less lethal and teach him all the DIE shit. And then we find out that it's all a

hoax. Weird. So weird. Oh, and then look at this. See, behavior, ladies and gentlemen, has consequences. Haven't been a psychology student for a long time. They have this thing, operant conditioning, response reinforcement. So if I touch an electric fence, I get negative reinforcement. You know what it is, Joe? It's an electric shock and I'm not going to touch it again. So that's how human beings learn. So maybe when we do dumb shit, like tell a bunch of people that the military sucks and it's full of Ku Klux Klan members, you get things like this.

Red State, Banshee, army recruitment of white soldiers plummets. Take a wild guess why. Great piece, Banshee. We love that. Is Banshee a woman or white soldiers plummets Take a wild guess why Great piece Banshee We love that Is Banshee a woman or a man by the way? Banshee a guy? I like Banshee's article Banshee's opinionated and has his

But I like Banshee's article Army recruitment plummets Take a guess why I don't know But I know Banshee's a smart guy And he knows Do you have that? Oh this is I don't know, but I know Banshee's a smart guy and he knows. Do you have that?

Oh, this is okay. This is not part of this. Jim, put this in the show. I should have thought this is shame on me. You should have suggested this last night when I left you the voicemail. It's a great idea. Why would people not want to join a military designed to kill the enemy? Maybe because of recruiting efforts like this.

I want you to watch this side by side. Guy's idea, but he's correct. This is beautiful. Here's one of our recruiting ads. And then here's what the Russians are doing. Take a look. It begins in California, with a little girl raised by two moms. I also marched for equality. I like to think I've been defending freedom from an early age. To marry my other mom.

With such powerful role models, I finished high school at the top of my class. And after meeting with an Army recruiter, I found it. A way to prove my inner strength. I'm U.S. Army Corporal Emma Malone-Lorde, and I answered my call. Jim, by the way, has informed me Banshee is a woman. Either way, Banshee, we like your stuff. Stay opinionated. We like that. Look at those two back to back. Folks, you got one side of the world, the Chinese Communist Party and the Russians training to whack us like tomorrow. And you got our military teaching a bunch of DEI bullshit, brain surgeons learning white people are privileged, secret service guys on a detail that can't even carry their own body weight,

freaking pilots flying planes who can't even do basic math. You understand this is what these people want. This is what their great reset looks like. This is what it looks like. It looks like control and division because division is a means for control. Do you understand that? You know, one of the things I've always kind of placed a premium on with this show is explaining to you the why. There's a reason liberals do what they do. Why divide us? Why this endless focus on not merit and skin color over merit because ladies and gentlemen merit is a sign of economic freedom and capitalism and when you all right i don't want g if i stop me if i screw this up because

you're the my harshest critic and it's okay i know where you're going to do you know this is you know exactly where i'm going yeah folks when you believe that societal structures are the cause of everybody's failure and not individual work ethic, which is what the communist believes, everything has to be dismantled. That's where the division component comes from. That's why merit can never be allowed into the equation. Because if you acknowledge merit, that people just work harder than others and that's why they're rich. If you acknowledge that, the whole communist manifesto falls apart. So the left is constantly searching for an excuse as to why people suck and they can't say they're lazy. So it's always racism, environmental justice,

Islamophobia. Do you understand that? All right, I'll leave it there because Guy will kill me, but that's the point. If people die in the process of subordinating merit, they don't care. They need to control everything. And a means of control is not allowing an individual to control their own lives. Now, I've been warning you about this stuff, this great reset stuff. This show harps on it often because it's serious. I want you to watch this because this is not a conspiracy theory, man. These people are doing this stuff right now. Here's a very powerful woman,

Christine Lagarde. She's the European Central Bank president. She's talking about these CBDCs, a mechanism of unprecedented government control. It stands for central bank digital currency. It's basically digital money. The government's going to issue to you on an app on your phone or whatever. Say it's the app on the phone and it can take away like that. It doesn't have to come to your house. It doesn't have to come to your bank account. It could just make the money disappear. It can tell you where you can spend it and where you can't, like a gun shop, tobacco shop, alcohol. So whenever I talk about CBDCs and how these new communists, these neo-communists want to control you, people go, oh, that's a conspiracy theory. Here she is talking about this new euro CBDC for the euro zone.

And she's basically saying, yes, there will be control. But I want you to pay attention to the last 30 seconds. They do this every time. They use terrorism and national security, which they don't give a shit about. I just showed you in the military, they don't care about national security. They care about, they're using that as an excuse, this fear thing. Oh, terrorists will use cash as a way to steal away your ability to maintain your economic freedom. The shit's happening right now. Listen to yourself and their words.

You're introducing the electronic euro, as I know. Yeah. So how can switching to an electronic currency help? Now we have in Europe this threshold above 1000 euros you cannot pay cash if you do you are on the gray market so you take your risk you get caught you are fined or you go in jail but you know the the digital euro is going to have a limited amount of control there will be control you're right you're completely right we are considering whether for very small amounts you know anything that is around

300 400 euros we could have a mechanism where there is zero control but that could be dangerous the terrorist attacks on france uh back uh 10 years ago were entirely financed by those very small anonymous credit cards that you can recharge in total anonymity. Folks, they're not hiding it. I mean, I promise you, I'm never going to waste your time on this show. I'm only playing their own words. You notice, comparatively speaking, I find it really strange. I almost want them to attack the show more. It's great for PR. Do you notice the left just completely ignores my show? I got to tell you, Joe, I'm getting a little offended.

They used to come after my show all the time. And then you and I started doing this crazy thing, like bringing the receipts and showing the left's own words. No, I'm serious. Did you notice, though, comparably speaking to other shows, they avoid this show at all costs. They never linked to it. They never, they rarely go after me anymore

because they're afraid people will watch the show and go, shit, Bongino is not crazy. They're actually talking about the digital Euro and that their quote will be control. And then when I talk about the great reset, I show things like the book cover for Klaus Schwab's book, head of the WEF called The Great Reset. And they're like, well, it's a conspiracy,

except Dan Bongino showed the book called The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab. By the way, Klaus Schwab, world economist. Oh, he has it. COVID-19. Look at that. The Great Reset. So strange. I thought we made that up. I thought it was a conspiracy theory.

Folks, this Great Reset, control, division, DEI over merit. This stuff is real. This stuff is happening. We never go anywhere without the receipts, bro. Ever. Ever. This is not a Republican or Democrat thing. This is a humankind liberty and freedom thing. You better get on the train or get your ass run over by it. These people aren't screwing around. Here's a little bit of good news on a Friday, though. People like me and Lindsey and tons of other people out there have been using our platforms to expose what these people are up to. And folks, they can't do a damn thing without

us pointing it out. They can't move a CBDC in the United States. I'm serious. They're getting really nervous. They're getting really nervous that we are starting to notice what they're up to. They are. Are we winning every fight? No, the border's still open. Cities are still in chaos. Are we making headway? You're damn right we are. Just ask Disney and the former Harvard president. So keep your chin up a little bit. But I want you to listen to Klaus Schwab himself. He's getting real nervous here that we're noticing. Boy, this is a speech he gave not that long ago talking about basically us, the

libertarian types, and how we're like anti-system people. Listen to how nervous this guy sounds about people like us noticing what they're up to. Check this out. You have this anti-system movement. What we are seeing is a revolution against

the system. So fixing the present system is not enough. Now there is, of course, an anti-system which is called libertarianism, down everything which creates some kind of influence of government into private lives. So folks, no need to start popping the Dom Perignon, all right? But make no mistake, the culture war that they've been winning, racking up 16 and 0 seasons for 20 and 30 years, that shit is over. That is over. We have racked up significant victories over the last few years.

And if Donald Trump wins this election, you can be damn sure that Freedom Train is slowing down and headed back to the Freedom Station instead of away from it. Forgive me, I always forget the radio host who invented the freedom train analogy. It is not mine. I don't take credit from other people's work. I think he was a guy out of San Francisco. Someone look that up for me in the chat if you would and let me know. But it's a great analogy.

Speaking of California, by the way, the next step in this great reset battle on you and economic freedom is to tax your wealth. I'm going to spend a quick amount of time in this. Folks, there's a bill in California. It exists. Gavin Newsom is freaking out about it because he knows it'll be the death of California. This is very real. There's a bill in California right now to tax you on your wealth. Oh, damn, we have wealth taxes now. No, we don't. We have income taxes. You are not taxed every year based on your wealth.

Let me give you an example. You've got an art collection. Do you get a bill every year for the value of your art? You don't. Do you get a bill every year on your stock portfolio? If you don't sell it, you do not. California is pushing a wealth tax. Here's the kick in the balls.

The great resetters, by the way, love a wealth tax. You want to talk about wealth redistribution? Part-time residents would be taxed. Here's the kick in the balls. The great resetters, by the way, love a wealth tax. You want to talk about wealth redistribution? Part-time residents would be taxed on their prorated share of their wealth based in California and how much time they spend there. Here's the key. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not done. I'm not done. You can say, whoa, again, the tax would also apply to non-residents. You don't even live there who recently left the state. So if you moved out of California, what, two, three years ago, they'll come for you still.

Well, again. Wait, Joe, I get infomercial, there's more. Key, screenshot two. This, folks, get the hell out. Chatsters, how many Californians we got? California, put a Y if you live in California.

Get the hell out as soon as you can. To spread the wealth around to basically lawyers, the bill would apply the state's False Claims Act to wealth tax records. What does that mean? It means attorneys could sue rich people on behalf of California for underreporting their assets. Oh my gosh. This shit is crazy. See? Yes, we got a lot of California. Get out.

I've warned you. Get out. We got a lot of fuck no's too, but I just said, I didn't say, say you're not in California. Get out. Say you've got a Hunter Biden blowhole painting, Joe, and you value it at the $10 it's worth, which is weird because the canvas alone costs 20. Let's say you say it's worth 10 and Joe Biden says it's worth 500,000. They could sue you. Folks, it's right there. You can read the bill yourself. Now, to be fair, Gavin Newsom says he's not for it. Joe, you think I believe Gavin Newsom? I believe Gavin Newsom as far as I could throw him. And Joe's seen my arm.

Joe, how is my arm? Is it very good? It can be weak at times, Dan. Yeah, thank you. Just about all the time. Yeah. Get out of California before you get sued over your art collection. That's not happening.

Read the bill, man. Get out. I can't warn you enough. But Dan, I've got a business there. Move it to Florida. But I got to start over. I did. Joe met me in Maryland when, Joe, what was my job when I met you in Maryland? I'll give you the

answer. Uh, I didn't have one. I was running for office cause I decided to start over folks, get out, please get out before it's too late. All right. I got a couple of things I want to end on. I'm going to, I'm folks, I listen, I'm a, as you can see from my war Eagle pin, I am an Auburn fan, but I respect good coaching and good teams and good play. And Nick Saban was a great coach and Nick Saban retired the other day. I mean, his college career is unbelievable. And I don't want these guys who gets into,

you know, like rivalries and stuff. I just like Auburn. You know, I think it's pretty obvious if my daughter goes there. I haven't said that before. I try to keep it, but everybody knows. So I enjoy the school, and I love Bruce Pearl, the basketball coach, a lot. He's a good conservative, and I like the place.

But Nick Saban retired, and there was this speech he gave a while ago. I'm going to play that for you to end the show, and please stay tuned because it's worth your time. And I think a lot of kids need to hear this, but I just want to get to this before we go, because this was a huge story that broke yesterday too. More evidence why this great reset crowd, by the way, which I throw Fauci in with, he can deny it all he wants, but the ideology that the great resetters have is a Fauci and ideology too. Don't trust these people. Ladies and gentlemen, they lie to you about everything. Fox News, Fauci admits social distancing, not based on science, sort of just appeared. Remember the six foot social distancing thing, the footprints on the floor?

Joe and I, when that happened, we were like, where did they get this from? And Joe, if you, I don't know if you remember this, but we did a show because I looked this up and yesterday I forgot, but I looked this up. It's out there somewhere. If audience archivist Judy wants to find it. The six foot social distancing thing came from a study in 1918, 1981, no, one nine, one eight. The hell does that have to do with COVID? It was a study based on a particularly pernicious flu and how the droplets could be expelled roughly six feet. Well, you may say to yourself, well, that seems applicable to coronavirus. Ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't because they found out later that coronavirus is aerosolized. It's not necessarily droplet based, which is which is again why masks don't work either. A mask may stop a droplet. It's just going to spread an aerosol. You breathe right through it.

You expel right through it. So the six-foot social distancing was bullshit. Now Fauci admits it after we shut down schools. And I love his excuse. I didn't shut down a school directly. Fauci, stop the bullshit, please, doc. People in government, Trump included, placed their trust in you thinking you were telling the truth because you were a doctor.

And it turns out you and your advice were full of shit the entire time. And it turns out you and your advice were full of shit the entire time. Folks, we will never trust these people again. When these great reset crowd intellectual elites tell you something, think twice about believing it before producing the receipts. Because on this show, we bring actual receipts. All right, I want you to watch this. This is a little bit of a...

For all you young kids out there watching my show, you know I love having you. I love that you spread the word. I want you to watch this. This is a little bit of a, for all you young kids out there watching my show, you know, I love having you. I love that you spread the word. I deeply appreciate it. You're a big part of this show and its future. Nick Saban was asked about what it takes to be excellent in choices. And people ask me for advice a lot when I'm out there, especially young kids. I go, Dan, you got any career advice? And I say the same thing to him every time from the book, The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb. Collect opportunities, but don't chase trains. Collect every opportunity you can. One of them's eventually going to work out, but don't chase trains either. When you say you're going to do something, you freaking do it. If the train's there at eight o'clock and you're there

at 8.05 and you're chasing the damn train, that's your fault, not the train's fault. And stop pretending that the, oh yeah, life is full of choices. Life isn't full of choices. As Joe knows damn well, life is not full of choices. If you want to succeed, you have no choice. You know what the choice is? Hard work. That's not a choice. That's the path. Listen to Nick Saban talk about it. Exactly. This is great advice. I don't care if you like Alabama football or not. Take a listen. You know, these guys sort of don't, they all think they have this illusion of choice.

Like I can do whatever I want to do. And we kind of have a younger generation now that doesn't always get told no. They don't always get told this is exactly how you need to do it. So they have this illusion that they have all these choices. But the fact of the matter is, is if you want to be good, you really don't have a lot of choices because it takes what it takes. You have to do what you have to do to be successful. So you have to make the

choices and decisions to have the discipline and the focus to the process of what you have to do to be successful. So you have to make the choices and decisions to have the discipline and the focus to the process of what you need to do to accomplish your goals. And all these guys that think they have a lot of choices are really, you know, sort of sadly mistaken. And I think as we all have done with our own children. They learn these lessons of life as they get older. And sometimes the best way to learn is from the mistakes that you make, even though we all hate to see them have to make them. And we don't really condone it when they do. Folks, that's a great speech. I don't care if you like sports, college football, Alabama football or not. sports, college football, Alabama football or not.

He is 100% accurate. Telling these kids at 13 and 14, oh, you know, just do what you love. I'm sorry is bullshit advice. Do what you're good at. Whether it's accounting or whatever, build yourself a nest egg to support yourself and your family and then go do what you love. But life is not full of choices. You have one air quotes choice and that's work hard or don't stop pretending like life is this

cornucopia of, Oh, take a break year and travel the world. No, don't. I'm sorry. I don't give my kids that advice. I'm not going to give you that advice either. Ladies and gentlemen, I do what I love now. You know why I do what I love now? This job I love. I would do this job for free. I don't have to, and therefore I don't.

I'm a capitalist, but I would. Joe, how long did we do this show for free for? No, years and five years. How long did you do this show for free for? No, years and five years. How long did you do this show before getting a paycheck? A long time. Joe was like, I will totally volunteer because I have faith in you. We got paid nothing. We just did it because we enjoyed it.

On the weekends, folks, I do what I love now, but I did what I didn't love for a long time. Police work was hard. Stocking shelves in a supermarket and cleaning dirty mausoleums in a cemetery in the dark was not fun. It wasn't a choice. It was the hard work I needed to do to pay for an education. I wish we would stop giving kids a bunch of bullshit advice. Every time I say this, even some conservatives, oh, damn, we shouldn't tell people that don't do what you love.

No, we should. That's how you get that Russian military ad versus ours, telling people flowery bullshit instead of what's necessary to survive. Imagine telling a farmer a hundred years ago, who was barely staying alive every day, had nine kids and three of them survived. Oh, just go do what you love. Everybody be freaking dead. Do what you're good at. Build yourself a nest egg. And then do what you love. That's some real advice. Nick Saban is right. That choice is an illusion. Bust your ass and you'll get everything you want. All right, folks, thanks for tuning in.
