All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. You know, seriously, we've got a problem. We've got a really big, enormous problem. A big, enormous problem in that you have a lifetime appointment of an individual on the Supreme Court called the Supreme Court because it's the most powerful court in the land. Land of milk and honey. We've got a woman on the Supreme Court who is just. I'm trying to be nice, folks. I'm really trying to tame the language. I'm trying it. The effort matters. Who is intellectually insufficient. Kentanji Brown Jackson has. Has got to be one of the most unintellectual people, not just on the bench, but anywhere in the United States government. There was a. It's a huge news day today. Last night we had the presidential speech cover that. We had the birthright citizenship case, which is going to change the country. If the Supreme Court rules against President Trump, you understand, right, that the whole world's going to get the message and the next Democrat administration, they're just going to open a border and everybody is just now going to have a constitutional right that did not exist before in a outside of legal rule. It's not written in there. Get to the United States, have children illegally and they're automatically citizens. That's not written into the law. That's what is subject to the jurisdiction thereof, which I'll get to. They would have now a Supreme Court enshrined constitutional right. Just come here illegally have babies invade the country. Do you understand how crazy this is? And you've got Kentanji Brown Jackson asking questions that are so childlike. You have to say to yourself, like, is this real? We got that. And I want to discuss. Folks, in due time. In due time. Been in the business a long time. It's been over 10 years now.

I'm not going to spend too much time on this because there's other things to talk about. And one of the things I've Learned in the 10 years of doing this show, you can't bombard the audience with the same thing over and over again, no matter how interesting or maybe uninteresting it is to you. But it's in the news every day. They want to hear about the whole portfolio cornucopia of things going on. They don't want to get lost in one story. I learned that early on, you know, covering the Russia hoax, that you can't do 100% of your show every day on the same thing. Even when it was in the news. You can do 80% and 20% is other news. So. But I do want to make sure you understand this, that Right now, what you're seeing with the Butler case, with the pipe bomber case, what you're seeing with Charlie Kirk, what you're seeing right now is an inversion of what we stand for as constitutionalists and Americans. We believe in process. We believe in order. We believe in evidence, not Star chambers, not trial by Twitter. If you don't believe in that. Listen, let me just be clear with you. This is not the show for you. It's okay. I. I will be fine. What bothers the grifters and bums and zeros and bots out there, all the bots don't really have any feelings. That's why they're bots, is there's nothing you can do. This show is not going anywhere. The audience isn't going anywhere. Every. Every day, you tell me no one's going to show up tomorrow. We just keep getting better. There's nothing you can do. And I know that bothers you, but attacking the process and United States citizens and trying to contaminate trials, try people on Twitter is just disgusting. I mean, that you got that grotesque in Kentucky spend that this guy. Anyone in Kentucky within the Massey race is this guy, does he ever do anything for Kentucky, or does he spend all day attacking US citizens on Twitter during ongoing criminal trials, by the way, cases he knows nothing about? He thinks we don't see through his little rage bot army. There is no bigger loser in Congress than this guy. He just can't stop. He's like a child. Do you have any idea how many texts and tweets and DMS I get from people who know this guy saying, thank you for taking this zero on and his little rage bot army? It's all fake. None of it's real. Watch how coordinated the response is. It's odd because forget about him for a minute. Guy's a zero. I said you guys pick who you want. Kentucky. It's not. That's not my district. I live in Florida. You want him? Fine. You can spend all his day claiming to be a libertarian while trying to impact an ongoing criminal trial and screw up due process, but there's absolutely no question we have an inversion of justice going on right now, folks. You either believe in the system or you don't. That applies to Tyler Robinson. That applies to the pipe bomb case, but it also applies to Butler. The only reason I bring up Butler is not going to mention because again, it's not even worth it. Who it was, it doesn't even matter. I heard this guy commenting yesterday, Butler. We still don't know how we didn't get into any of the devices, folks. I just told you last week or two weeks ago, I showed you the article in Fox News where they did two hours sit down. We did with Fox where it's all out there. Like all you had to do was read the article to see how many devices we got into. There's no device we didn't get into in the Butler case. It's just not true. You can say it all you want. You're just making you look like an idiot. That's why I tell you in due time, when the fog of war of all this starts to dissipate. We've been through this before, folks. I've been through primaries where opponents of Donald Trump when I supported Trump in 2016, 2020 and beyond. You have any idea how many supporters of other candidates would DM us? Guy, remember this? Remember we went through this in the primary. You're done. You suck. You're the worst. And then three weeks later, they're sending you the same thing. I thought you were done three weeks ago. We've been through this before. In due time. The truth always comes out. It's coming out now was a fascinating piece that came out last night. And when the truth comes out, you're going to have to tell your kids who you really were, which was, hey, I shouldn't have done that. That's what you're going to have to say to your kids. It's pretty embarrassing. You see it right now and I've said to you often that the trick these people use is they don't attack Donald Trump directly on any of these cases because the people he appointed at the FBI and elsewhere, it's just easier to attack them. So you can get the Trump vote without attacking Donald Trump. You attack his surrogates. This is what I've been telling you about. The problem is Donald Trump is on the side of the truth when it comes to the Candace Owens nonsense and all the other stuff about Butler and all. You don't think he knows? So what, he knows some hidden knowledge out there about getting shot in the head and he's just not telling anyone. But, you know, despite the fact everything you said is a lie and you could have just read it in a Fox News piece. Here's Donald Trump yesterday. President Trump at the White House. He's talking to the widow of Charlie Kirk, Erica Kirk in the front row. He doesn't mention any names about who he should sue, who she should sue, but he's pretty clear about his position. This is what Makes me laugh like, there's only one team here, it's the MAGA team. You trying to segregate us out and separate us off. It's not working. You just keep getting your asses kicked. Check this out. I think you should sue him. But, you know, I told her, you ought to sue somebody. They're so jealous of Erica. I said, you're gonna sue their. You. I can say you're not allowed to say this. You have to be nicer. Sue their ass off. So you. I don't understand. He's not satisfied with how the investigation was conducted. Is that your point? If you're a rage bottom yet he seems satisfied enough that all the misinformation, bullshit, specialist propaganda people out there, he's encouraging Erica to sue them. Does that even make any sense? That's why this audience continues to roll on and everyone else. I've seen this bullshit over and over. It's a grift up, down. Then some other person comes in and the rage bots and everybody realizes they're bullshitting. And then down. I've seen it over and over again. All right, so some other stuff happened yesterday, too, that's really important. That's why we got to get into this because this is going to change the whole country. I want you to listen to me clearly, ladies and gentlemen. If the Supreme Court rules against Donald Trump in this anchor baby birthright citizenship case, listen, we are in a world of freaking hurt. It'll create a de jure, not de facto constitutional right for illegal aliens, illegal foreigners, potentially from foreign enemy countries of the United States to come to the United States of America, even illegally, set it up with birth tourism or get a quickie visa, overstay, whatever, it doesn't matter. And basically come into the country, have a child and guarantee that child citizenship. Now you may say, well, that sounds like that could be a problem, ladies and gentlemen. It's not going to be a problem. It is a problem. Right now. These individuals that have children here illegally who get citizenship have children that grow up with a US Passport. Some of these people could be enemies of a foreign power that could become military officers. Does anyone else see this as a problem? A little out of order for you that Will Kane clip. Well, Will Kane's My friend over at Foxy is a show on 4pm Eastern regard. It's a great show. Will Kane, yesterday on his show, did the storyboard. I want you to see how big of a problem this is in case you think what I just said is bullshit. Oh, my gosh. Some foreign power. They're not going to breed into the country a bunch of spies. It's just a couple of people here or there. A couple of people. You sure about that? Supreme Court, man. I hope you guys are paying attention here because whatever you decide, this is an. This is an existential issue. Check this out. Reports of foreign wealth being used to manipulate the system. One Chinese billionaire reportedly has more than 100 US born children through surrogacy. The idea, build a future family and a business succession plan. Some clients, by the way, request up to 100 babies via multiple surrogacies. Thousand dollars. And why would they do that? Because babies born here are automatically US citizens. Also, surrogacy is illegal in China. Nearly 41% of international surrogate parents in the United States are Chinese. So why is this such a debate? Look around the world. Much of Europe has restricted birthright citizenship. Asia basically ended it. The United States still one of the few countries around the world that sits as an outlier. Why are we one of the few countries around the world that does this? It's not. This isn't a business that's like desperately searching for customers. That is the United States government. You have probably close to a billion people who would enter the United States tomorrow if we just said, hey, open borders, everybody. Come on in. We're not like desperate for new citizens here. We get them. People come here because it's the greatest country on earth with more economic, economic opportunity than any other place on earth. You get what I'm saying? We don't need this extra sales pitch like, hey, man, whatever, just come here legally, illegally, doesn't matter. Just come on over. We really need people and we'll give your kids citizenship right away. We don't need it. Why are we doing this? Near this, there's a sliver of countries around the globe that do this kind of stupid stuff. You're talking about hundreds of thousands of people. This has become a cottage industry from enemies of the United States, countries that hate our guts, who can enter legally, illegally. Just have a kidney. We're good to go, folks. Aisha Hosny at Fox is a. She's a journalist, not an opinion person. I mean, she has opinions, but that's not her job. But she's a very calm, kind of level headed person. I saw this tweet yesterday and this kind of nailed it for me. Aisha Hosny again, she's a reporter, but she says, I've seen birth tourism up close. It's a total abuse of the system. She says Think about it. Someone like me, who was not born in the United States but has lived here since I was 6 years old, similar to my wife, will never be able to run for president. But a child born here through birth tourism, then taken back and raised in their parents country, never growing up with American values somehow, Ken, American citizenship is not an insurance policy. Folks, listen, Natural born put aside, this is absolutely spot on. Like you've got people who are here and did everything the right way from the time they were children. My wife is one of them. And now you just get to pop in illegally, legally pay a few bucks for some birth tourism and hey man, you're just good to go. Natural born is that. This is insane. You know the adage, you know the Constitution. It's not a suicide pact emanating from the Supreme Court. It's not a. How do the justices not see this, folks? This is a huge problem and we've got a member of the Supreme Court, Kentaji Brown Jackson, who folks, has the intellect of seriously like a 20 year old first year law school student, if that. I'm going to. I know I'm moving a little out of order, but just roll me here for a second guys. Here she is yesterday. This may be one of the most incredible, and I don't mean that in a good way, courtroom legal self owns S E L F not cell phone self own you have ever heard. Here she is in her arguments yesterday basically stating like, hey, so if you commit a crime here and you're arrested, like somehow that means allegiance to the country and the subject to jurisdiction thereof. If you're thinking I'm making this up, I am not. Here is Kentanji Brown Jackson. You're not many. Well, some of you are lawyers. For those who are not lawyers in the chat, we got a lot of, we got 51,000 people. For those of you who are lawyers, sit this one out in the comments section. You already know this. For those of us who are not lawyers, does that make sense to you that in a courtroom a Supreme Court justice is making this absurd analogy that because you're arrested in Japan, you somehow have allegiance to Japan? I'm not making this up, bro. Check this out. Obviously have permanent allegiance based on being born in whatever country you're from. That's what everybody recognizes. But you also have local allegiance when you are on the soil of this other sovereign. And I was thinking, you know, I US citizen am visiting Japan and what it means is that, you know, if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese Authorities can arrest me and prosecute me. It's allegiance, meaning can they control you? Oh, my gosh. This. This woman. I'm really trying to not be terribly obnoxious and control my language. Is this even real? Is this woman like an npc? If you can, Tanji Brown Jackson, go to Japan, you are in the country of Japan. The country of Japan has a set of laws. If you violate those laws, the country of Japan will likely arrest you and try you for violating those laws. However, you are also a citizen of the United States because you were subject to the political jurisdiction of the United States, which means if you're in Japan, the United States government can't wait for you to leave US Soil and then violate your constitutional rights. She's actually making the opposite point. Gee, are you getting this? Jasmine? Does this make sense? She's like, I don't know. I don't think I'm getting. Here's what I mean. Kentaji Brown Jackson, who is supposedly a lawyer, is making the opposite point, that when you are subject to the political jurisdiction of a sovereign state, you're a Mexican citizen who comes here illegally. You are not a. You, your children are not U.S. citizens. If you are here illegally because you were subject to the jurisdiction of another power, you. She's saying, well, if I steal something in Japan, I mean, I could be arrested. Yes. The United States government also, if you steal something in Japan, can't serve a search warrant in your house, where. I don't know where she lives in Washington, D.C. or whatever. Just because you're off U.S. soil, you still have rights because you're subject to the political jurisdiction of the United States government, even in Japan. Just like a Mexican citizen is subject to the political jurisdiction of Mexico, they are not in the country legally. She doesn't even understand. I'm not even a freaking lawyer. That's a great. Gee is talking about how expats, people who leave the country and renat. They get. You got to renounce your citizenship for even, like, tax law and things like that. This is amazing that this woman sits on the Supreme Court. I got. I'm sorry to do this to you, but I got to play this again. It's short. It's 10 seconds. Do you know what's coming? I'm not even going to. I mean, just. Do you know where I'm going with this? All right, play it. Can you provide a definition for the word woman? Can I provide a definition? Yeah. I can't. You can't? Not in this context. I'm not a Biologist. You have to be a. So just to be clear, you have to be a biologist to know that a human adult female is a woman. But a lawyer doesn't understand that a US Citizen has rights in Japan while being subjected to Japan's laws while in Japan. You just figured that out or didn't figure it out? This is on Fox right now, by the way. Right now, as we speak. Jackson argues birthright with stolen wallet analogy. This has become a laughing stock. See, they used to. There's. There you go. These guys with the camera back there. I didn't even know we had them. I just figured that out a couple weeks ago. We have so many cameras in this studio. I've only been here three months. We used to do a show from my house. It's on Fox right now. That is how much of a laughingstock this woman has become, folks. It's not personal. I don't know her. I don't care to know her. She could be very nice. That's not the point. The point is I'm a spreadsheets guy. I know what I did. I can. I've given you all the numbers. I've laid out all the headlines, all the numbers, all the data. She owes us better than this. This all comes down to a very simple, simple question. What does subject to the jurisdiction thereof mean? And I would argue strongly, along with a number of just sane lawyers out there, that it means you have to have established some legal domicile in the United States. How do we know that? Put up the 14th amendment. There's a reason the 14th amendment to the Constitution is pretty clear on this. All persons born or naturalized in the US and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and the state wherein they reside. Reside. Reside, meaning a domicile. Like you live there, not like you're an illegal invader. It's right there. If the authors of the 14th Amendment did not. Didn't want any exceptions. In other words, you get here legally, illegally, have a child, child's a citizen no matter what, then why put and subject to the jurisdiction thereof in it? Why not just say all persons born in the United States? This is not hard. This, again is the gift of Donald Trump. Hey, timeout. Well, not actual timeout, but I didn't intend on going here, but I have to. This is the gift of Trump. Process that for a second. What's the gift of Trump, folks? This conversation about birthright citizenship before Donald Trump brought it up was considered like heresy. I'm not kidding, folks. In the chat, you Know, it's Donald Trump moves this Overton window better than anyone else. No one had even thought about it. I mean, no one had even thought about it in the sense of that it was a mainstream political argument. Scholars had thought about it. Wong Kim and other cases. However, this was not a mainstream. He's like, oh yeah, you're born here, you're a citizen. And then Donald Trump brings it up and what's the first thing they said, guys, he's a racist, he's a racist. So then they realize that's not going anywhere. Donald Trump keeps going with it. And all of a sudden now people start to realize like, donald Trump's not a racist. This sounds like pretty sensible to me. And over the course of years by Donald Trump continuing to hammer an issue, all of a sudden now you even have some moderate Democrats even starting to say to themselves, like, eh, maybe he's got a little bit of a point here. Nobody moves that window better than Trump. I'm telling you, I've been in this space over 10 years and not a flex is just true. If you even mention the idea of birthright citizenship in any kind of whatever mainstream political form, they'd be like, oh, come on, that's stupid. What ain't even racist. Now all of a sudden everybody's talking about it. Here's a Solicitor General yesterday, John Sauer, arguing this exact point about end the state they reside, meaning to be a citizen, your child, you should reside in a state and have a domicile. You shouldn't be illegally here. It's in the amendment. Here he is arguing this point. It's less than a minute, but it's worth your time. Check this out. The text of the clause, we believe there, it says, you know, born in the United States, born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the states of which they reside. So there's a constitutional guarantee that applies to both federal or national and state citizenship. And the key point we make there is that that word reside, if you look at, for example, section 1473 of Justice Stories Commentaries, was understood to mean domicile. So when they say subject to the jurisdiction, and then they go on to say you're a citizen of the United States and the state in which they reside, the very text of the clause itself presupposes that the citizen is domiciled in the United States. If they're present in a state at all, they reside there. Reside side means domicile in the Constitution. And we think that strongly supports our interpretation. It's textual evidence of our domicile based theory of jurisdiction. Folks, listen, I'm just going to be straight with you. I'm not optimistic about this case at all. At the Supreme Court, John Roberts has been incredibly unreliable for constitutional conservatism. He just has. He is, he's become basically a swing vote. Gorsuch is very textual, but I don't know where they're going to go on this. Amy Coney Barrett, total wildcard on this. There is a very good chance, sadly, I'm just trying to prepare you that we, the American people. It's just Trump fighting for it, by the way. Trump is just, it's not a loss against Trump, it's a loss for us. Donald Trump's the one fighting to fight. It's not his loss. I mean, it's his loss in that he's an American citizen, too. It's all of ours. We, I just want to prepare you that the Supreme Court could rule against the administration and us in this case. And you now have a de facto right to illegally invade the country, have a child here, and basically get a US Passport, which is good for you. Could, I mean, you could apply for the CIA, the military. You could be the son of two foreign agents here illegally. You're good to go. Don't forget that Will Cain segment. This is not a small number of people, folks. We're talking about hundreds of thousands, millions over time in a country of only 300 million people. Do you understand these? I didn't even. I, how did I not mention it? These people be able to vote. You want a bunch of foreign enemies of the United States secreting people in the country to get millions of people to vote? I didn't even mention that. Always think of national security. Sign up for the military and elsewhere. This is insane. This is, this is not the suicide pact. The Constitution is not this. It says it in the words, be careful with this case. I will be pleasantly surprised if we get a dub on this. A W. All right, I'm going to take a quick break and then I've got W's of the day. Like I told you in the beginning of the show, you got to hit people with a little bit of bad news so they're prepared. But you got to hit them with the good news, too, because we live in the greatest country on earth. Look at the flag behind me. There's a reason it's there. I love that flag. It's not a tablecloth. It's not a curtain. The fabric doesn't matter. It's the idea. We got a flag on both sides. You live in the greatest country on earth at the greatest time to be alive. There's a smile, big smile. And there were some huge W's that happened as well. I don't want to be pessimistic on the Supreme Court case. I just want to prepare you based on the arguments. I don't think they get it, folks. Let's be honest. The cost of living isn't just high, it's exhausting. If you've been leaning on credit cards lately to just cover the basics, you know, groceries, gas and utility bills, you're essentially paying a survival tax of 20% interest or more. Drains your wallet. You don't want that. My friends at American Financing have a better way for you. They're helping homeowners tap into their equity to pay off high interest debt. With mortgage rates currently in the fives, that's fantastic. On average, American Financing is saving their customers $800 a month. That's nearly $10,000 a year back in your pocket. It takes just 10 minutes to find out what you could save. There were no upfront fees and no obligation to talk to a salary based mortgage consultant. And here's the kicker. Start today and you could even delay two mortgage payments. It's big savings. Try them out. Give it a shot. American Financing, America's home for home loans. Here's the number. 888-994-7760. Again, American Financing, 8889-947608-88994-760 or you can visit them online. It's a.net address American Financing.net Bongino it's American Financing.net BongIno give them a shot. They'd love to hear from you. Thanks. American Financing, we got to give you the dubs. There's so many W's. It's such a great time to be alive. I love the show, I love the country. I'm a happy warrior. I know I don't look at sometimes, but I promise you I am. What a great time to be alive in Trump term too. And I told you, you elect him a second time, he's going to be a lame duck. I said, oh, you're reading this all wrong. You're reading this all wrong. He's going to clean up the mess now. And there's no pressure for political political fallout in another election at all. Here's what I mean. It was a tweet yesterday by Peter St. Ange. I play some videos from him. Often he's focuses largely on economics. This is probably what you're not going to hear about in the media that wants you to believe we're losing in Iran. There's, you know, the borders are not closed. Crime under Donald Trump is out of control. Inflation's out of control. They want you to believe all this bullshit so they don't tell you any of this. Jobs grew last month at a 750,000 annual pace, while wages pop 4.5%. That's twice the inflation rate. If the war is really ending, we're back to the boom now, folks. That's kind of important, what he says in there about wages growing 4.5% because it's not an economics class. However, there is a difference between nominal and real wages. Nominal wages are just the number. If your wages, for instance, went up 2% or 2.5%, to be precise, right around there. If they went up 2.5%, you could go home and tell your wife, hey, I got a 2.5% raise. It's nominal. That's the number. But it's not a real wage increase because inflation's running about 2 and 2 and 2 and a half percent. So basically you're just treading water. If wages go up 4.5% and inflation's 2.5, then, yes, you have now more buying power. That is a good thing. Of course, you're not going to hear about it in the mainstream media because they want you to believe you're living through the global apocalypse right now, when in fact, you're living through the golden age of being an American citizen. Here's another one you're probably not going to hear about outside of limited outlets. This is Rick Santelli, does a good job at cnbc. It's cnbc. Hey, man, retail sales look pretty good. You know, when people actually buy stuff in the retail market. Again, outside of limited exposure here, you're probably not going to hear a lot about this either. Check this out. February numbers, retail sales, expecting a headline number up half a percent. Joe comes in better than expected, up 6, 10 of a percent. That would be the strongest since June of last year when it was up 1%. If you look at July of last year, it was exactly the same, up 6, 10. Now let's strip out autos, it still remains strong. Lose a tenth, up five, ten of a percent. And that's better than expectations sequentially higher, as was the headline number, up half 1%, the best since August of last year. Now combine the economy, which is, by the way, why is this happening? The growing economy, why is this happening in this? And I'm not saying, hey, this is all the administration, it's you. I mean, it's obviously, you're the economy, ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to go back to the, you know, whatever. Again, it's not just AI. It's that the explosive growth in computing power in general, the ability to solve problems in the digital space, is growing so geometrically that problems we've had that would have taken a century to solve, superconductors, advanced material science, artificial intelligence. And the explosive growth in computing power is solving these problems like that, which is leading to massive productivity enhancements which are filtering through the economy. And there's been no bigger supporter of getting the government out of the way and letting that happen than Donald Trump. That's why you're seeing this stuff. It's not hard. I'll give you a quick example. Let's say there's a. Right now you have a wire that conducts electricity between a tower and a factory. There's always going to be a certain amount of impedance in that wire. When AI say, find a better superconductor, if your electricity costs go down by 20% because you got a better way to get from the electrical generation plant to the factory, then that's 20% less you have to pay for electricity. That does what goes into your business, wages and salaries and other things. That's what artificial intelligence and commuting power are doing right now. They're solving problems like this everywhere. Medicine, cancer research, material science, all of it. And then when the quantum revolution hits, folks, you're going to have generational human problems like how do we cure cancer? Is there a vaccine for hiv? These things are going to be figured out in seconds. There's a danger there. Of course, you want to blow up the world, a big one, but that's why this is happening now. Combine that. Productivity enhancements, getting more output from the same electricity just because the AI figured out a copper wire problem. Combine that with Donald Trump's deregulation, getting the government out of the way so people don't have to pay the government off to run a business. Combine that with Donald Trump's efforts at getting rid of government fraud. He's got now Vice President Vance working on it, too. You have the government workforce down 10%. That's a big, big money suck out of the economy. I love our military and law enforcement, but there's way too many government employees at the state, local, territorial level. Way too many government employees I told you. Government employment has become like a jobs program in the public education system. Donald Trump's team is focused like a laser on this. We had numerous arrests in Minnesota. There's a number of arrests going on and investigations in California. Now another federal arrest. I go, nothing's happening. I know, doomers, I get it. And then again, we show you stuff that's happening and you move on to another thing you say isn't happening. That happens. Wash, rinse, repeat. I get it. Go back to your mommy and your tentacle porn on the Internet. Like that reporter that time, Remember that guy who got busted with that? Stories, Here's a story out of New York yesterday about a federal investigation, I believe it's edny, Eastern district of New York about a major government fraud ring. But I want you to pay very close attention to the end. This is the, the Trump law enforcement, federal law enforcement infrastructure working to knockout fraud. But I want you to listen to communist Mayor Mamdani at the end because Mamdani knows what I told you too, that if you're a big government Democrat, independent journalists are now going to be exposing this stuff on X and TikTok and elsewhere and you're going to be embarrassed. So you better get on the right side of this quick. Mamdani's all in on this one. He has no choice. Check this out. Roberto Sam walked out of Brooklyn federal court in silence after his arraignment. He's one of four people now facing charges in a corruption investigation tied to the city funded homeless shelter organization Braggs. Federal prosecutors say Samity and another defendant, Ronald Jean Toreles, stole more than a million dollars from the taxpayer backed nonprofit. They now both face several charges including wire fraud and embezzlement. The indictment unsealed Tuesday drawing swift reaction from Mayor Zoran Mamdani. We'll definitely be looking into these because any allegation, especially if it's being substantiated, of improper action and behavior is one that has to be followed up on. This is killing this guy. He ran for mayor on this communist platform of my big government's going to steal all your money and we're going to spend it better than you can. Big government is the solution. It is the messiah. Genu Fleck, get down on a knee, bow your heads before big government. Now he has to admit, oh man, listen, this big government thing may not be working out. A couple of people arrested here. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg. This is the Dan Bongino theory popping up again of government fraud being exposed by independent journalists. Even the big government advocates, the Bernie Sanders, the Liz Warrens, the mom dummies, the AOCs are not going to be able to run from this. It's going to get embarrassing. Just like I said to you in the beginning of the show about the people popping off about ongoing trials right now, screwing up due process for everybody because they want Twitter clicks and money in due time. In due time you're going to be made fools of because ultimately people have to swear to things in depositions and in court. You think mom dummy doesn't understand that? That this explosion in independent journalism, the Nick Shirleys, Cam Higby's and others out there that you think he doesn't understand? This is going to be a perpetual embarrassment, folks. This is just, this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. This is the tip of the tip of the iceberg. I'm under no illusions that, you know, 100 arrests in Minnesota and 10 arrests in New York are going to solve the trillion dollar government fraud problem. I'm just telling you it's going to become a perpetual political embarrassment for, for advocates of big government welfare state folks. Tying it into why I put it after the AI segment. This is why I need you to be wary. They will never admit capitalism works in free markets. They won't. They're only going to change their story to, okay, there's probably a lot of government fraud, but that's only because the bureaucracy isn't working. I just think we should give the money right to the people now through a universal basic income. That's going to be their shift. Watch Mark the show. Flags in the chat. Put them in because it's going to happen. You'll be like, wow, Dan was right again. They're not going to be able to run from this. I enjoy being like two, three years ahead of the curve on this. Watch them change the argument as a flood of independent journalists exposed trillions of dollars in government fraud here and around the world. They're going to be like, well, we should just give money directly to people now because they don't want people to work. That's why. Flags in the chat. There you go, erupting in the chat again. Mark this show. They're all going to start running on this in elections in the future. We need a universal basic income. People aren't going to have anything to do. Yeah, sure, right. But lazy people won't have anything to do because they don't want anything to do. You think people like you and, and all the, you know, Union workers out there in the chat and truckers are going to sit on their ass all day because of AI. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. People morons have been saying this forever about free markets. The horse and buggy after they invented the gasoline powered engine. Oh my gosh. What are they going to do? I don't know. Something like, everyone always figures out who wants to do something. Had like 100 different careers. Always looking for something to do. All right, shifting gears a little bit last night. I don't know if you saw it, who saw it in the chat? Donald Trump gave a primetime speech 9pm last night on the status of the Iran war. And he made a really great point. I wish people would take the heart. And I want to say again in advance, please, please. So you understand. Cuz I know not everyone in the chat is a huge fan of this. I understand. I respect and value your opinion. Matter of fact, I got to tell you something. I would be bothered if there weren't alternate opinions on it and people out there who were concerned when it comes to putting boots on the ground. Guys, ladies, I told you. My, my family, we lost my uncle in Vietnam. I never met him. He died before he was shot in the back in, in Vietnam. You know, he got a bronze star and with a, with a V device on it. He was a great man. Greg Ambrose. I bring him up a lot. I only bring it up because my entire family was changed. You could never mention his name again. I'm telling you, like, my mom never got over it. My grandmother never got over it. They're both not around anymore, God rest their souls, but they never got over that. This is a gravely serious decision. However. Did you guys ever see that? The movie on Netflix, House of Dynamite. It's written by kind of a lefty, but I strongly encourage you. I think it's on Netflix and one of these other platforms I saw in a movie theater down in D.C. it's a bit exaggerated and hyperbolic, but if you haven't seen the movie without kind of spoiling it for you, the gist of it is what would happen if a rogue state fired a nuclear missile at the United States. But there was no attribution they were able to disguise where it came from. What would happen? I want to be clear now, this is an interesting premise. They're not saying the movie isn't saying, hey, what would happen if Russia fired a nuke? The answer is we'd fire one back and the whole world would be Destroyed. That's fairly obvious. Mad Mutually assured destruction. Correct. Get it? That's not what the movie's about. The movie's about a nuclear weapon fired at the United States that manages to disguise its origin, whether it's an offsea barge or whatever it is. So nobody knows who to respond to the nuclear weapon. There's about 18 minutes the entire United States government has to respond. I get it. I get it. There's been a lot of very valid criticism. It's a movie that this is. This would work different than people. Fine, fine, fine. The movie's interesting because I just want to get to one quick point that this is what a rogue state will do. The Iranian theocracy and the mullahs, if they were to have a nuclear weapon, how do you know they're not going to smuggle it out of the country? How do you know they're just not going, what are you going to do, like, nuke all of Iran? Because this mullah is a crazy person. I mean, these are serious questions where you don't have those same questions with China or Russia. China and Russia, for as crazy as they are, understand it would be the annihilation of all of Russia and all of China if they were to launch a nuclear weapon. They get that. The mullahs don't care. You understand? They don't give a damn at all. They're like, we don't. They kill their own people. The Iranians kill their own people. The mullahs. You think they give a shit if we were to launch a nuke back? They don't care. This is not China or Russia. This is a bunch of apocalyptically minded, theocratic, insane thugs. Donald Trump was trying to make this point last night that, yes, this is a gravely serious decision to send troops into harm's way, but the even more serious decision is me kicking the can down the road and letting them blackmail us in the future with a nuclear weapon pointed at us. By the way, in Europe, too, this is a rogue state. The threat is different. Even the North Koreans understand what would happen if they were to launch. The Iranian mullahs don't care. I want to play this. Go at it with the Rubio about the shield, not the NATO one. Everyone should listen to this. Rubio, Marco Rubio has done an amazing job as Secretary of State. I need everyone to just take a moment and listen to this. This should have been broadcast everywhere yesterday. I saw it on Twitter, but not enough people saw this. There's about a minute and 15 seconds of Rubio making the case. By the way, everything he's saying here is factually accurate. I'm sure of it. The Iranians were trying to build essentially a conventional missile shield around their program to make taking the program out so costly, because they would launch conventional missiles everywhere. Europe, Diego Garcia, elsewhere, which I've already done, by the way. Diego Garcia. And if we let them proceed any further, it would have been almost impossible without massive casualties to get this nuclear program stopped. Here it is. You all need to hear this. Check this out.
