Haley Caradilla (1:56)

Thank you.

Dan Bongino (1:56)

Is it a fair Kelly in the chat said, loved your interview.

Justin (2:01)

Hold on, let me check this out. Man, that chat is really moving.

Dan Bongino (2:04)

I held it, I put it on

Justin (2:06)

like a little pause and there's already probably 500 more chats in there.

Dan Bongino (2:10)

Thank you. A fair Kelly said, I really enjoyed your hangout with Sean Hannity on his Hangout with Hannity podcast. I told you it was long. It was like two hours. I have a clip from it generated a lot of buzz. I was serious as a heart attack talking about what's going to happen next.

Justin (2:26)

So. Well, thank you guys in the chat. We love you all. We really appreciate it. So it is happening. You saw the Jim Comey indictment yesterday. I'll discuss it.

Dan Bongino (2:34)

The man is entitled to his day

Justin (2:35)

in court like everyone else.

Dan Bongino (2:38)

However, all I can speak about being

Justin (2:40)

on the outside now is there's a

Dan Bongino (2:41)

Federal Bureau of Investigations that does investigations. Once they're done, they're handed over to prosecutors and then it's in the court of law by a jury appears or

Justin (2:51)

there's a plea deal or, you know,

Dan Bongino (2:53)

we'll see what happens. But I'm going to give you a

Justin (2:55)

fair take on all of this, okay? So don't go anywhere.

Dan Bongino (2:58)

Got a lot to talk about, including the COVID case that came out yesterday, which we were sure it wasn't happening.

Justin (3:02)

That's happening too.

Dan Bongino (3:04)

Dan Bongino (3:25)

Today's show also brought to you by our friends at Patriot Mobile. My favorite mobile service I've been relying on the more and more and more America is about to celebrate its 250th.

Justin (3:36)

And the direction of the country is

Dan Bongino (3:38)

being decided right now for the culture,

Justin (3:40)

the economy, all of it, and whom

Dan Bongino (3:42)

we choose to support matters more than ever. Support companies that support you, not companies that hate you. I'm going to tell you a company that loves you. Patriot Mobile, they're different. Most wireless companies don't care about who you are, what you believe. Patriot Mobile isn't like that.

Justin (3:55)

They don't just want your money. They want to support what we believe in.

Dan Bongino (3:58)

For more than 12 years, they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending. Supporting the Christian conservative movement when others stayed quiet.

Justin (4:05)

That's a fact.

Dan Bongino (4:06)

And here's the deal. You don't have to give up quality or service when you switch to Patriot Mobile.

Justin (4:12)

Contraire, they deliver excellent premium priority access on all three major US Networks.

Dan Bongino (4:17)

I use them so you'll get the same or better coverage than you have today.

Justin (4:20)

You think switching is a hassle?

Dan Bongino (4:21)

It is not. Paula switched both of our phones in maybe five minutes.

Justin (4:25)

And that may be overestimating it.

Dan Bongino (4:27)

Keep your number, keep your phone or upgrade. Their 100%. US based customer support team will activate you in minutes.

Justin (4:33)

Like that.

Dan Bongino (4:34)

Still paying off a device, no problem. Patriot Mobile even offers a contract buyout. This is a defining year.

Justin (4:41)

We got to work together to save our Glorious country.

Dan Bongino (4:43)

Go to patriotmobile.com dan or call 972, Patriot. Use promo code Dan, my first name

Justin (4:50)

for a free month of service.

Dan Bongino (4:52)

That's patriotmobile.com dan or call 972-patriot and

Justin (4:56)

make that switch today to Patriot Mobile. All right, fellas, let's go.

Dan Bongino (5:02)

So things are happening again. You're not obligated to like them.

Justin (5:05)

You're entitled to your opinion about them.

Dan Bongino (5:07)

However, yesterday as we were leaving, it's happening again again on the way.

Haley Caradilla (5:11)

Who did. Did you arrange OC shells?

Dan Bongino (5:14)

Well, Andy.

Justin (5:14)

Andy took a lot of time.

Dan Bongino (5:15)

He was out at Stuart beach this morning.

Justin (5:17)

You just.

Dan Bongino (5:18)

He didn't know Andy saying he did not. In fact, he did not arrange those, that he was walking down Stewart beach bathtub beach, as a matter of fact, to be precise, he was getting a little morning sun. And I did not know this was in the show. And just ironically, he felt very good.

Justin (5:32)

Guys. You guys are quite, quite humorous this month.

Dan Bongino (5:35)

It's happening again again. So as we were leaving yesterday, I saw this FOX News report break by David Spunt. And this is what happened in case

Justin (5:45)

you missed it yesterday. I see.

Dan Bongino (5:48)

Why am I.

Justin (5:48)

Check this out.

Dan Bongino (5:50)

Has indicted former FBI director James Comey

Justin (5:53)

for a second time.

David Spunt (5:54)

John, they're going at it again not even a year after they went at it after the first time. We're told this via several law enforcement sources. We're told this is related to an Instagram post from the former FBI director last year when he posted on the beach, you may remember there was a formation of shells that said 8,000, 647 that were in that pairing of 8,647. And he said something along the lines of isn't this a curious formation that I just found while walking on the beach? Well, critics to that post immediately pointed out that 86, at least in the restaurant world, means to get rid of or to kill something from a menu. But 47, meaning the 47th president of the United States. So Comey did speak with the Secret Service, did speak with federal investigators at the time. He was interviewed last spring or early last summer, shortly after that happened. No charges were ever filed. But now it appears that he has been indicted. Today we're working to learn more about the indictment. We're waiting to see if officials have anything to say on this. That is the post that you see right there. Cool shell formation on my beach walk from former director James Comey. Now, you also remember that he was indicted last year as well for allegedly lying to Congress.

Dan Bongino (7:15)

I'm just again I read we even

Justin (7:17)

have, you know, doomers in our own chat. There's a N. Beatty, 62, is like

Dan Bongino (7:22)

nothing's going to have.

Justin (7:23)

All right, whatever, man. Listen, you just do your thing, brother.

Dan Bongino (7:26)

I'm glad to have you here.

Justin (7:28)

You're happy to watch your show.

Dan Bongino (7:30)

I can't help you.

Justin (7:31)

Okay.

Dan Bongino (7:31)

It doesn't matter.

Justin (7:33)

You know, forget it. We're good. We're good. Yes, you're whatever, brother, or sister, whoever you are.

Dan Bongino (7:42)

The acting Attorney general, Todd Blanche, gave

Justin (7:44)

an excellent interview this morning on this,

Dan Bongino (7:46)

and he was explaining how in this environment where the President has been shot, people have been killed, he has been attacked multiple times. There have been multiple assassination attempts, ladies and gentlemen. There is a portfolio, I promise, of assassinations being planned and that have been planned about the President by foreign actors. People trying to kill the President. That doesn't even make it out into the public. This is easily the most threatened man on earth.

Haley Caradilla (8:10)

Why you would think it was appropriate

Dan Bongino (8:12)

as a former FBI director to do something like this, I don't know. I don't think it's funny. I don't know.

Haley Caradilla (8:19)

Wow.

Dan Bongino (8:19)

Look what I found on the beach. I found a bunch of seashells. You know, I don't get it. I don't know why you would.

Haley Caradilla (8:25)

I don't know.

Dan Bongino (8:26)

I remember the morning I was in the office. I had gotten in early, and I'm sitting there and I'm looking around at the team like, I really can't believe this happened. Like, it sounded so ridiculous. It sounded ridiculous.

Haley Caradilla (8:41)

Here was the acting Attorney General this

Dan Bongino (8:43)

morning making a really good point that, folks, if there are no investigations for threats, and we'll see if it was knowing and willingly, and all the elements of Title 18, USC 871, which was the charge, threats against the President.

Haley Caradilla (8:59)

He'll have his day in court. He'll have his ability to explain in

Dan Bongino (9:03)

front of a judge why he did

Haley Caradilla (9:06)

this or did or whatever what his mens rea was. He'll have his day in court and

Dan Bongino (9:10)

he's entitled to that.

Haley Caradilla (9:12)

However, there is zero doubt that these

Dan Bongino (9:15)

threats against the President, implied or otherwise,

Haley Caradilla (9:19)

are to be investigated. Because then you give everybody the imprimaturity of like.

Dan Bongino (9:24)

Of like, okay, permission, like, this is good to go.

Haley Caradilla (9:27)

This is why we don't do it.

Dan Bongino (9:30)

Here's Todd Blanch, the acting Attorney General.

Justin (9:33)

Sorry for that. Stumble over the words there.

Dan Bongino (9:34)

I'm just trying. Really passionate about this. Having been a protective intelligence agent for a long time, I don't think you guys understand when stuff like this happens. People Take this as a license to

Haley Caradilla (9:44)

go and do things.

Dan Bongino (9:45)

Here's Todd Blanche explaining this this morning

Justin (9:47)

in a really good interview he did on, I believe, cbs. Check this out.

Todd Blanche (9:51)

Anybody in this country thinks, especially what give it what happened over the past couple of years with respect to President Trump, that it is okay for anybody to threaten the President of the United States. That it is okay to threaten the President of the United States and then have the media or others say, well, that's not serious. Then we have a bigger problem than I even imagined in this country. Of course it's serious when you threaten the President of the United States. And anybody that tries to put forward some narrative that this is just about seashells or something to the contrary is missing the point. You cannot threaten the President of the United States. That's not my decision. That's Congress's decision in a law that they passed. And so, yes, of course, this is a serious case.

Dan Bongino (10:32)

The acting AG Blanch is. They're just motoring along now. A lot of these investigations have been going on for a long time. He said it this morning. They're not new. But you got to remember how the federal government law enforcement process works. Again, I don't want to sound like an ass here explaining the obvious, but there are some people, especially the doomers, who, who pretend to not get this. You know, there is an investigative branch. There's the FBI, there's the DEA in drug cases, there's the atf, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms investigations that involve those items. And then those are handed off to the United States Attorney, the United States Attorney in that specific district there, that specific circuit works for the doj, the Attorney General. And then those cases are prosecuted using the investigative material compiled during the investigation. I get it. This is not Charlie Brown Encyclopedia 101. But people pretend to not understand this. Now it's in the hands of the people in the justice system. It's out of their hands now. And he will have his day in court. I saw some commentary on this yesterday on social media I thought was interesting. The case obviously sparked a huge discussion on and this will be played out in the public space over. Is Comey going to claim this is, you know, First Amendment? He was joking around. Well, Jim Comey responded.

Justin (11:48)

I'll put up those tweets in a second.

Dan Bongino (11:50)

But I think it's only fair to put out his response to it to hear what he had to say about it. I assume, given that Jim Comey is a lawyer himself, that this is what he's going to tell his lawyers in this case. Here's Comey's brief response he put out there. And there's an implication here that this was somehow political targeting. You know, it's, I'll put up some tweets afterwards that I think make the exact opposite argument.

Jim Comey (12:17)

Check this out, this time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent, I'm still not afraid, and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go. But it's really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country. This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be. And the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values. Keep the faith,

Haley Caradilla (12:55)

folks.

Justin (12:56)

The sanctimony here is deeply troubling.

Dan Bongino (12:59)

I mean, this is a man who lorded over an FBI.

Justin (13:03)

I saw the information, you know, a

Dan Bongino (13:06)

lot of it is already in the public space.

Justin (13:09)

This is a man who lorded over an FBI that manipulated a secret court system,

Dan Bongino (13:16)

lied about things in order to selectively prosecute President Trump. This was a justice system, a civil system at the state level, a criminal system at the state and federal level that practically invented crimes. It's way above and beyond Jim Comey. But it talk about like, this is not who we are as a country after what. Who we are as a country, in his eyes, is prosecuting Donald Trump civilly in a court system in New York on a, on a, on a fraud violation case with no victims, no fraud. And the so called victims in the case, the bank going up there going, we're not victims. That's the link.

Justin (13:55)

The link. Sorry, someone put a tweet about the link to the Hannity show.

Dan Bongino (14:00)

Katherine Herridge had some thoughts on this.

Justin (14:02)

She's an excellent reporter.

Dan Bongino (14:03)

She put him out on X. She looked at the, the indictment. It's as I said before, 18 USC for United States Code 8, 71 threats against the president charge I'm very familiar with. We use it all the time in the Secret Service. And she notes at the end that Comey's decision to later delete the Instagram post could be interpreted as consciousness of guilt behavior. Again, we'll see. We'll see if he makes that argument to his legal team or not, or if the prosecution makes that. But I saw another interesting tweet, because this is how I want to make a tie in here between the actions of this FBI when I was there

Justin (14:39)

and when I'm Gone, obviously been gone for a few months. So this was not my case.

Dan Bongino (14:44)

However, this is fascinating. The Comey era FBI had to manipulate a FISA secret court system using an entirely fabricated dossier of things that never happened, the alleged peepee tape and all this stuff to engage in a lengthy investigative process against Donald Trump.

Haley Caradilla (15:15)

None of that happened in this case. No one's disputing that these seashells were on the beach.

Dan Bongino (15:21)

How they got there. They can hear that out in court.

Haley Caradilla (15:23)

Also, no one's disputing Jim Comey thought it was a good idea to post

Dan Bongino (15:28)

this and make some kind of a joke about it.

Haley Caradilla (15:31)

He posted it. Those facts are not. No one like hijacked his account. Christopher Steele did not hijack his Instagram account.

Dan Bongino (15:38)

Correct, Fellas, I'm not missing anything, right?

Haley Caradilla (15:41)

He's already admitted to doing it. The only question here is going to

Dan Bongino (15:45)

be intent and he'll have his day in court.

Haley Caradilla (15:47)

This is my point here.

Dan Bongino (15:48)

This guy J Town has a great ex account. J Town, Alabama. He says before the legal pundits claim the indictment against Comey is flawed. Keep in mind a few things.

Haley Caradilla (15:58)

It was presented to a grand jury, not like a FISA court.

Dan Bongino (16:02)

Professional prosecutors obviously disagreed that the case was flawed.

Haley Caradilla (16:08)

They wouldn't have brought in DOJ and

Dan Bongino (16:11)

Dag Todd Blanche, now acting Attorney General, disagree. They brought the case too. Notes Comey made many inconsistent statements about what he thought the shells meant. And non public evidence. It's not public to me either exists to prove that Comey knew what 8647 meant.

Haley Caradilla (16:32)

Nobody had to make anything up, folks.

Dan Bongino (16:34)

I just want you to keep that in mind.

Haley Caradilla (16:36)

So when you hear things like this isn't who we are.

Dan Bongino (16:40)

This isn't the justice system. We didn't have to go to a FISA court. We have to make up a dossier. We have to flush the dossier and launder the dossier through the State Department doj, avoid proper five eyes channels.

Haley Caradilla (16:57)

None of that happened here. Is that who we are?

Dan Bongino (17:01)

I'm asking you to paint a picture in your head of contrasts.

Haley Caradilla (17:08)

These people on the left in these

Dan Bongino (17:10)

media pundits trashing the case already before it's even had its day in court. The doomers as well are telling you that exact thing.

Haley Caradilla (17:19)

This isn't who we are.

Dan Bongino (17:21)

As if Comey and his FBI and the Ray era FBI with politically oriented prosecutions.

Haley Caradilla (17:28)

That's who we are. The facts of the case aren't in dispute. He made the Instagram post. We didn't make it up.

Dan Bongino (17:35)

It didn't show up in a dossier. It wasn't flushed through the State Department somewhere. He put it out there. Folks, I can't emphasize this enough. This is the part of the.

Justin (17:49)

And thank you for all the commentary again about the hang out with Hannity. I had a really good time, but this is the piece of the show that the clip. Oh, wait, hold on. Breaking news here. Sorry guys. For those watching live, Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana's second majority black congressional district. Okay? So that'll get. Some ramifications come from that on gerrymandering the vra. And also that just happened now. There's some Supreme Court case. We may get a ruling on TPS today too. You see that right in the background. You never dispute the shows live, right? You don't see the earpiece in the back of my.

Dan Bongino (18:27)

It's also why I can't hear anything out of my right ear.

Justin (18:29)

I've had an earpiece in my ear between Secret Service and this for like 20 plus years of my life.

Dan Bongino (18:34)

Getting back to what I was talking about, I brought this up on the,

Justin (18:38)

on the Hannity hit and it went kind of nuclear. And I had mentioned something to Sean about these two FBI's and how I listen. I know what I was getting into. This was not. It's a two hour conversation, as you can see. There's a lot of smiles, a lot of joy.

Dan Bongino (18:52)

There's a lot of sadness in it because I know when the left takes charge of government again, they're going to go back to that who we are stuff. Who we are. They're going to go back to weaponizing the mechanisms of government to politically prosecute people. And I know for a fact we didn't do any of that.

Justin (19:09)

So this happened in a couple of headlines I saw yesterday. Like, wow, he's not messing around. Check this out.

Dan Bongino (19:17)

I don't think I ever thought I'd hear Dan Bongino use the word scared

Justin (19:21)

because that's not in your nature.

Dan Bongino (19:22)

Your whole life, everything, everything you've done in your whole life has been embracing risk. You know, you embody courage. You, you know, but you know, well, let me ask this question.

Haley Caradilla (19:37)

You know, like you think, like you start thinking weird things as you know

Justin (19:40)

they're coming for you.

Dan Bongino (19:41)

You just know it because you know, you know, I have like. So either you're paranoid and you're not. When my wife built the house, I asked her for one thing.

Haley Caradilla (19:50)

I'm like, can you just get me

Dan Bongino (19:51)

one of those cool like overhead shower

Haley Caradilla (19:53)

things like you do whatever you want

Dan Bongino (19:54)

with the House, like.

Haley Caradilla (19:55)

But this is funny. I love this. Over. I don't care about anything. I mean, do what you want with the kitchen. Put a gym there. I don't volume water. Just send water on me. It's the weirdest thing. And this just goes to show you

Justin (20:06)

how crazy you get in your head.

Dan Bongino (20:07)

The other day, I'm sitting there and I'm like, I had just gotten out

Justin (20:11)

of cold plunger freezer. I'm like, gosh, this warm water feels so good. And again, switching back to series.

Dan Bongino (20:17)

Daniel.

Justin (20:19)

Mike. I'll probably be in some federal prison with some. That's what comes to my mind every day.

Dan Bongino (20:24)

Like, I live like this the rest of my life because I know how they are. Yeah, man. I mean, I don't. Don't get me wrong, I knew what I was.

Justin (20:32)

I signed it up for.

Dan Bongino (20:34)

But, you know, I. I do.

Justin (20:39)

I think about that all the time. I knew exactly what I was getting into. I love what we did there. Proud of my service, proud of the president, proud of cash, proud of the DOJ and what we did. And now you're seeing a lot of it. I mean, just the last few days have been just a tidal wave of things you were told weren't happening. That happened. The Southern Poverty Law Center.

Dan Bongino (21:02)

You saw all the Minnesota 22 search

Justin (21:04)

warrants for the Minnesota fraud case.

Dan Bongino (21:06)

That's been ongoing since I was. There were already something like 70 convictions in that case. Convictions have been going on forever. That fraud case, not new. I'm happy about the work journalists did in Minnesota, but that case was going on for a long time. The journalist brought some extra, you know, public, you know, public exposure to it, and that's great, but that was going on for a long time. You have the COVID case yesterday.

Justin (21:27)

I'll get to in a minute.

Dan Bongino (21:29)

You got the comey stuff. I mean, this was all happening for a while, but I fully understand.

Justin (21:34)

We were getting into.

Dan Bongino (21:37)

Anyone who had anything to do with reforming the government and getting it back to being anchored to a constitutional shoreline.

Justin (21:46)

Anyone is going to become the target of a weaponized left the second they get back in charge. And don't listen, don't have it.

Dan Bongino (21:52)

Don't have a single shred of doubt in your brain about that. That's just who they are. How do I know that? Because this is some of the people who were running the government before who will probably be back.

Justin (22:03)

The great Maze Moore on X. One of my favorite accounts.

Dan Bongino (22:06)

Put out this video yesterday. I want you to watch this. This goes to show you the hypocrisy of these people. This is Andrew Weissman. He worked on the Mueller investigation, pseudo investigation against Donald Trump.

Justin (22:16)

Because they really weren't investigating anything. They were just making things up.

Dan Bongino (22:20)

Weisman was a senior leader in the DOJ during the whole Russiagate scandal. Here's Andrew Weisman. First, if you're listening on Apple or Spotify and just audio, here's Weisman in the beginning talking about all of the targeted weaponized prosecutions against Donald Trump, saying like, oh, this wasn't selective prosecution. This is just us, like, upholding all these wonderful standards. And then I want you to listen on the back end of this, him talking about the prosecution of Comey and notice how the tone changes. Even though, again, I want you to

Haley Caradilla (22:50)

keep in mind this contrast.

Dan Bongino (22:51)

And do not forget this.

Haley Caradilla (22:52)

They had to make things up, the dossier and launder the information through improper channels and use a secret court to

Dan Bongino (23:00)

try to prosecute him with this stuff

Haley Caradilla (23:02)

on the Comey case was posted by Comey. No one made it up. And he'll get his day in court.

Justin (23:09)

Check this out.

Andrew Weissman (23:10)

He is being treated no better or worse than anyone else. This is not selective prosecution. That this is not somebody who singled out, that he is being treated just like anyone else. That is what it means to have a rule of law. That is what the Justice Department is really signaling and messaging here, is that everyone will be treated, as Merrick Garland has said, as you know, equally in this country. This is really a really a great day for America. This is such a horrendous moment for the rule of law, for the Department of Justice, for the country writ large, being singled out for impermissible reasons. And so just because you did your job, but just because you referred to the president or you opened an investigation into the president, those are not legitimate reasons to have a sort of tit for tat, vindictive prosecution. This looks like it. The emperor has no clothes. That this is. This is the abuse that it appears to be.

Dan Bongino (24:15)

Folks, I. Listen to me, please. If I'm saying this enough, tell me in the chat, then move on.

Haley Caradilla (24:20)

I just need you to tattoo this

Dan Bongino (24:23)

on your cerebral cortex.

Haley Caradilla (24:25)

Everything in the Comey case is out

Dan Bongino (24:28)

there in the public. It is a grand jury indictment.

Haley Caradilla (24:30)

You can read.

Dan Bongino (24:31)

It is not a secret court.

Haley Caradilla (24:33)

And this case started because Jim Comey decided to post that on Instagram.

Dan Bongino (24:38)

We didn't make it up.

Haley Caradilla (24:39)

We didn't pay someone to post it. There was no dossier. It was found in. The Trump case was the exact opposite. It was so shitty, it was flushed through on A dossier on secret channels. Nobody would see the to a secret court with made up information. So please stop the nonsense that this is who we are. This isn't who we are. That's who we are. I'll tell you who you were. We don't want to be ever again. Donald Trump didn't even get the opportunity

Dan Bongino (25:09)

to get his day in court because

Haley Caradilla (25:10)

it was run through the FISA courts. Everything was done Back channel.

Dan Bongino (25:18)

There's more big news. Yesterday you had the COVID case, another case we were told wasn't happening. Which by the way, if you just would have done a modicum of homework, you would have known. There's already been public reporting on these cases. It's not a mystery.

Haley Caradilla (25:33)

They don't want you to know that. I'm going to show you some polling

Dan Bongino (25:35)

too, showing you how the doom and gloom crowd and the liberal media are completely wrong.

Haley Caradilla (25:40)

They're telling you it's over. Donald Trump sucks. They're telling you all this stuff. The polling doesn't indicate that at all. Folks, do not give up on the midterms, please.

Dan Bongino (25:53)

Quick break. I'll show you. I'll give you a quick update on the COVID case. I want to get to these polling numbers and I got a lot more. Also some new kind of better footage and some pictures of the attempted assassination this weekend of Trump and others at

Justin (26:07)

the Hilton come out. And I've got some, I've got some questions and hopefully some solutions too because anyone can complain.

Dan Bongino (26:15)

Folks, let's be honest. The cost of living isn't just high, it's exhausting sometimes. If you've been leaning on credit cards lately to cover the basics like groceries, gas and utility bills, you're essentially paying a survival tax of 20% interest or more. My friends at American Financing have a better way. American Financing is helping homeowners tap into their equity to pay off high interest debt. With mortgage rates currently in the fives, on average, American Financing is saving their

Justin (26:41)

customers $800 a month. That's nearly $10,000 a year back where

Dan Bongino (26:47)

it belongs, in your pocket, in your bank account.

Justin (26:51)

It takes just 10 minutes to find out what you can save with American Financing.

Dan Bongino (26:55)

There's no upfront fees, no obligation either

Justin (26:57)

to talk to a salary based mortgage consultant. Here's the kicker.

Dan Bongino (27:01)

Start today and you can even delay two mortgage payments.

Justin (27:04)

Big savings for y'. All.

Dan Bongino (27:06)

American Financing is America's home for home loans.

Justin (27:09)

They've been with me for a long time. Go see how much money you can save.

Dan Bongino (27:12)

Go check it out. Give them a Call. Here's the number, 888-994-7660. Write this down. That's 888-994-7660. Or you may want to visit them online. That's okay too.

Justin (27:25)

It's a.net address by the way.

Dan Bongino (27:26)

American financing.net Bongino. That's American financing.net/Bongino. Thank you American Financing.

Justin (27:35)

We appreciate it.

Dan Bongino (27:36)

All right. More things that have been happening since just this, this tidal wave of new prosecutions moving forward. Investigations that have been ongoing for a long time. I'm quite familiar with a lot of them. We got the brief on them all the time. Here was some coverage yesterday of a case we were working on for a long time. It involved Covid, it involved information, it involved, according to the allegations, efforts to avoid records cases in this. Check this out on the other side

Justin (28:07)

as I have some quick commentary on this. Take a look.

Dan Bongino (28:09)

Top advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci now facing criminal charges. This over an alleged cover up involving research into the origins of COVID Rich Edson on this story. Intriguing. Rich, what you find out there in Washington.

Rich Edson (28:23)

Now it is, Bill. The Justice Department has charged David Morens, a doctor, with conspiracy, claiming he concealed federal records to counter evidence that COVID 19 may have leaked from a lab in China, all to help restore a controversial coronavirus grant. Morens, a former aide to Dr. Anthony Fauci, testified before the House's Covid select subcommittee nearly two years ago about emails he'd sent in February 2021, claiming that he'd learned to make emails disappear after he received Freedom of Information act request requests. Ever delete or attempt to delete a federal record?

Dan Bongino (29:01)

No, but let me explain why. When I came there in 1998, we were instructed to delete emails and or to move them into PST files frequently because they jammed the computer.

Rich Edson (29:12)

The Justice Department says Morens used his personal Gmail account to exchange non public information. The indictment also claims an unnamed co conspirator gave Morens one wine for his quote, behind the scenes shenanigans. Then suggested he could push scientific commentary in a prominent medical journal advocating that COVID 19 had natural origins. That's a competing claim with the lab leak theory. The indictment says the co conspirator could also provide meals at top restaurants in Paris, New York and Washington D.C. in April 2020, the NIH terminated that BAT Coronavirus Grant awarded to EcoHealth alliance, who then contracted the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct that research in China. From the start of the Pandemic its president, Peter Daszik, worked to discredit any theory that COVID 19 had leaked from that lab.

Dan Bongino (30:01)

By the way, I don't want to

Justin (30:03)

get off topic, but did you notice

Dan Bongino (30:05)

in the beginning of that video there's a guy in the background in the first piece of Capitol Hill testimony? He's fallen asleep. He cannot keep his eyes open.

Justin (30:15)

You ever.

Dan Bongino (30:15)

Folks, that's hard sometimes if you're in this testimony. These testimony rooms, right? It's warm in there. And you're not the one.

Justin (30:21)

I haven't.

Dan Bongino (30:22)

I've only been the one testifying, so

Justin (30:24)

I don't really know.

Dan Bongino (30:24)

But you see this all the time.

Haley Caradilla (30:26)

Don't sit behind the guy testifying if you can't stay up. This poor guy in the background, give this. I feel bad. I'm not knocking you, brother. I'm not knocking you. I'm just saying, man, like, get this guy a cup of coffee or something. Jump them in the cold plunge or something. If you're going to sit back there, you got to like Clockwork Orange. The eyeballs, man.

Dan Bongino (30:48)

I just noticed that I'm watching on the iPad right here. And of course, when I was cutting that. I'm just paying attention to the guy. Listen, I'm just here to tell you that when we walked in there at

Justin (31:01)

the FBI Cash and me and the

Dan Bongino (31:04)

new leadership team, folks, we didn't have to like walk and chew gum at the same time. We had a walk, chew gum, juggle flaming chainsaws, dodge rhetorical bullets coming our way, weed out leakers, fire people who had engaged in misconduct, rewrite the investigative guideline, Pfizer guidelines, rewrite how we handled violent crime, rewrite threat banding and counterterrorism and counterintel threats. We had to rewrite the entire promotion system, get rid of the DEI stuff. There was a lot to be done. That is what you paid for it. Not a pat on the back.

Haley Caradilla (31:52)

That's what you paid for.

Dan Bongino (31:54)

I'm just telling you that all of this was happening. The justice process happens slowly. It's by design.

Haley Caradilla (32:03)

We're not the Department of War.

Dan Bongino (32:05)

You can't go in there and pursue it to a command from the Commander in Chief. Go and just knock off a target. That's not the way this works. You are going to see over the course of weeks and months, even more that's happening. So we can't title the next show. It's happening again, again, again. So we're going to have to retire that.

Haley Caradilla (32:28)

But if you folks in the chat

Dan Bongino (32:29)

have a suggestion, when more Stuff Happens. For a title, I would love to hear it. Because we can't use It's Happening Again. Again, again.

Haley Caradilla (32:40)

Because the doomers want you to believe nothing is happening. Why? Because they want us to lose. They want us to lose in the midterms. Why do they want us to lose in the midterms?

Dan Bongino (32:49)

Because they want to run their preferred non MAGA candidates in 2028. And they want to say, look at the damage that's been done by this president. We got small smoked in the midterms. Everybody hates him. Screaming and yelling, that's what they want.

Haley Caradilla (33:03)

Why would they do that? Because many of them are being paid and will be paid as consultants for candidates who are going to run against the MAGA movement.

Dan Bongino (33:12)

From the right, not from the left. I promise you.

Haley Caradilla (33:15)

Flag it in the chat.

Dan Bongino (33:16)

Mark this episode. You think I'm making this up? Good luck.

Haley Caradilla (33:20)

One of us is going to be right, One of us is going to be wrong.

Dan Bongino (33:22)

And I can tell you who's going to be wrong. It's you I'm pointing at.

Haley Caradilla (33:28)

They want us to lose. That's why they keep doing this. Flags in the chat, tearing it up. That's why we had that dude in the chat. Boy, nothing's ever going to. Nothing's ever going to happen.

Dan Bongino (33:38)

What?

Haley Caradilla (33:38)

It happened. They always said it doesn't matter. You arrest him. Why didn't you arrest the other guy then? You arrest him. Well, why did you arrest that? They want us to lose.

Dan Bongino (33:44)

They keep telling you this movement's dead. Nothing's going on. Crime rate collapsing, border control, economy moving again. Oh, I got that. The Iranians are now trying to desperately figure out a way to get their oil out of the strait because their whole system is collapsing. The UAE just dropped out of opec. We got a great number of wins coming out of the Supreme Court. Got inflation relatively under control. Manufacturing index is going up. You have your tax cuts from Trump 45 now solidified in Trump 47. No tax on tips.

Haley Caradilla (34:22)

Things are going pretty darn good. The lib media and the doomers are

Dan Bongino (34:28)

going to tell you otherworld, we're going

Haley Caradilla (34:29)

to get absolutely destroyed. We're going to lose every single seat in the midterms. Folks, listen, I don't know what's going to happen in the midterms. I could just tell you that the polling data doesn't say that at all. Here's a generic congressional ballot. Generic congressional ballot, meaning you want Democrats

Dan Bongino (34:43)

or Republicans in Congress.

Haley Caradilla (34:45)

Now, if all the doomers are correct, Democrats should be at like 7,030 here,

Dan Bongino (34:50)

20, 26 generic congressional ballot. By the way, fellas, this is Harvard Harris. Josh, you think that's a big right wing outlet?

Justin (34:59)

Harvard Harris ball.

Dan Bongino (35:01)

Josh is saying, no, I don't. I don't think. I don't think. I don't think so, man.

Justin (35:05)

I don't think so.

Dan Bongino (35:06)

Harvard Harris registered voters, Republicans, 50% Democrats, 50% likely voters. Look at that, Josh. Republicans, 50% Democrats.

Haley Caradilla (35:16)

I thought, I thought we were getting.

Dan Bongino (35:17)

I know.

Haley Caradilla (35:18)

We get killed. I don't. We can. I don't know what happened, folks. This is the receipt show. Let me just say in advance, I don't know what's going to happen, okay? You ever say the Eckhart Tolpan power of now? I only live in the now. The future hasn't happened. The past already happened. I know what happened in the last presidential. I don't know what's going to happen in midterm, however, I'm just telling you,

Dan Bongino (35:38)

people saying, oh man, it's over. Everybody's pissed off. Everybody hates the administration. Nothing's happened.

Haley Caradilla (35:43)

That's not what's happening in the real world.

Dan Bongino (35:45)

The prediction markets to Kalshee saying Republicans. And these are, by the way, these are people with skin in the game. In the predictions markets breaking. Republicans are now favored again to hold the senate with a 51% chance. Kalshee politics.

Haley Caradilla (35:59)

That can't be, fellas. That can't be. The doors told us it was over receipts.

Dan Bongino (36:06)

There you go. There you go.

Haley Caradilla (36:11)

You just don't count this guy out.

Dan Bongino (36:14)

This guy meaning President Trump.

Haley Caradilla (36:16)

He. Did you see this guy yesterday? He was just like, he had the

Dan Bongino (36:20)

king at King Charles.

Justin (36:23)

King of it. We don't have kings here, contrary to what the left wants you to believe,

Dan Bongino (36:26)

which is kind of weird because the media.

Haley Caradilla (36:28)

Do you guys notice the media was

Dan Bongino (36:30)

fawning over an actual king, King Charles while like protesting. In no case, they don't want to king.

Haley Caradilla (36:36)

So they love a king, a real king, but like a fake king. They're trying to make it to a real king who's not a real king while protesting. No kings. Like, does this even make sense? Do you guys even listen to yourself on the left wing media?

Dan Bongino (36:48)

The president was on fire yesterday. I like our friends over in the uk, you know.

Justin (36:54)

Thanks, man. It was a great country to visit.

Dan Bongino (36:55)

Had a blast. I don't want a king. I'm not really interested. He's, I'm glad he's here. He's very nice. He was very funny yesterday. But President Trump was on fire yesterday. A bit of comic Relief.

Haley Caradilla (37:04)

But this is why.

Dan Bongino (37:05)

Don't ever bet against this guy.

Haley Caradilla (37:07)

Stop with the doom and gloom. We have a damn good shot during

Dan Bongino (37:11)

this midterm if we just show up and vote.

Justin (37:14)

Check this out.

Dan Bongino (37:14)

Mother.

Donald Trump (37:16)

I just see it so clearly. She loved. I told the king this. She loved the royal family and she loved the queen. And anytime the queen was involved in a ceremony or anything, my mother would be glued to the television and she'd say, look, Donald, look how beautiful that is. She really did love the family. But I also remember her saying very clearly, charles, look, young Charles. He's so cute. My mother. My mother had a crush on Charles. Can you believe it? Amazing how I wonder what she's thinking right now.

Haley Caradilla (38:11)

It's not the comedy hour show, folks.

Dan Bongino (38:13)

I'm not funny. I don't try to be funny.

Justin (38:15)

I'm certainly not a comedian either.

Haley Caradilla (38:17)

Is Donald Trump. Don't ever.

Justin (38:20)

Who said it? President Trump was hilarious. He said that in the chat.

Dan Bongino (38:24)

Lynn and Jeff. Lynn and Jeff, I see you in

Justin (38:27)

the chat all the time.

Dan Bongino (38:28)

Lin, Lynn, don't bet against this guy.

Haley Caradilla (38:33)

Do not.

Dan Bongino (38:33)

We got mutlies in the chat fired up. Do not bet against this guy. And folks, the counter narrative to all the success, this isn't so much the doomer. The doomers just tell you nothing is happening.

Justin (38:46)

Okay?

Dan Bongino (38:46)

So forget them because then when it happens, they just move on and pretend they didn't say it. The liberals, progressives and the just kind of Trump hating left wing, which is pretty much all of them. There's very few kind of sane Democrats left. You got maybe Fetterman, and that's really

Justin (39:00)

it

Haley Caradilla (39:03)

when whenever Donald Trump and his

Dan Bongino (39:05)

administration do something like the SPLC case, they crack down on fraud in Minnesota, you'll see a couple things happen. Number one, put up that cash tweet.

Haley Caradilla (39:14)

You'll see left wingers try to take

Dan Bongino (39:16)

credit for the Trump administration's work when they're not pretending. It's just lucky. Thank God Cash clapped back at this yesterday. Governor Tim Walz, who's. They haven't done anything but incentivize this fraud. He's like, today's raids by state and federal law enforcement happened because our state agencies caught irregular behavior and reported. Really? Cass is like, come again?

Haley Caradilla (39:36)

The FBI and doj, with our DHS partners drafted and executed every search warrant today.

Dan Bongino (39:42)

But go ahead, Timbo, and take credit for our work while we smoke out the fraud plaguing Minnesota under your governorship. Nice, nice. Very good, Very good.

Haley Caradilla (39:52)

But when they're not claiming credit for the work, Donald Trump did

Dan Bongino (39:58)

on violent crime and elsewhere, just from MySpace, they're claiming he's lucky.

Haley Caradilla (40:03)

So we have the segment.

Dan Bongino (40:04)

We do. Because there's an election coming up. Listen, it's not luck, ok? Just period, full stop. Maybe not period, like exclamation point.

Haley Caradilla (40:12)

This is not luck.

Dan Bongino (40:13)

Donald Trump has a plan. The plan is being enacted. The enacting of the plan is resulting

Haley Caradilla (40:19)

in very good things. Whether you believe that or not, I don't care.

Dan Bongino (40:22)

I was there. I know it. It's true. So you can go roll that in a ball and.

Haley Caradilla (40:27)

But even if you did believe. There he is. Even if you did believe that, this is all Lucky.

Dan Bongino (40:33)

Wait, put him up again. I love that.

Justin (40:34)

Lucky Trump.

Haley Caradilla (40:35)

And it's Lucky Trump.

Dan Bongino (40:38)

I'm sorry, guys. Outside of Motley, this is my single favorite graphic these guys have ever produced.

Haley Caradilla (40:47)

I can't even get.

Justin (40:48)

It's hard for me to even get to.

Haley Caradilla (40:49)

Even if you believe Lucky Trump, who goes to the slot machine and hits

Dan Bongino (40:53)

the jackpot every single day, you know,

Haley Caradilla (40:56)

300 plus days a year. Even if you believe that, wouldn't you want to go gambling with that guy? You're like, man, this guy's like, I got this friend.

Dan Bongino (41:05)

I. I play.

Haley Caradilla (41:06)

I'm a terrible blackjack player.

Dan Bongino (41:08)

I'm just like, I have fun, Paul. And we don't bet a ton of money.

Justin (41:11)

We don't.

Dan Bongino (41:12)

We go to, like, the 2550 table.

Justin (41:14)

Whatever it is, it's fun.

Haley Caradilla (41:16)

We just have a good time, have a couple drinks, play a little blackjack. Every time I go with this guy, I win. I don't care what. He's just lucky. So I play with. Even if he was lucky, don't you want to be on that guy's team? Here's Lucky Trump again. Had a huge major. We had a major arrest of an

Dan Bongino (41:37)

enormously powerful drug figure in Mexico. This is, I don't know, the 20th

Haley Caradilla (41:42)

or 30th of these.

Dan Bongino (41:44)

They've taken down top Jalisco Cartel leader with $5 million US bounty on his head, captured while hiding in a ditch in Mexico. When was this, guys?

Haley Caradilla (41:53)

Oh, April 28, 2026.

Justin (41:56)

What is today's date?

Dan Bongino (41:57)

The 29th.

Haley Caradilla (41:58)

So that was what, yesterday?

Dan Bongino (42:00)

There we go, guys.

Haley Caradilla (42:01)

Lucky Trump again.

Dan Bongino (42:03)

This guy's amazing.

Haley Caradilla (42:04)

There he is. Lucky Trump popping it. I love how they put him in

Dan Bongino (42:07)

at different angles, too.

Haley Caradilla (42:07)

He comes in the corner. Lucky Trump from the bottom. He comes in from the top row. We need Lucky Trump, given the people's elbow sometime, too. Here's another Trump.

Dan Bongino (42:17)

And he had no. No plan for the straight at all Wall Street Journal article, really, I'm just. It's amazing how he just keeps getting lucky. Iranians only have about 13 or 14 days or so.

Haley Caradilla (42:27)

US blockades pushing Iran towards extreme measures

Dan Bongino (42:30)

to keep pumping oil.

Haley Caradilla (42:31)

I thought they didn't have a plan. There he is. Lucky Trump coming from the top corner now he's coming right.

Dan Bongino (42:36)

He's almost upside down now.

Haley Caradilla (42:37)

That's him from the top ropes. I thought he didn't have a plan. So you mean they blockaded the strait.

Dan Bongino (42:43)

The Iranians can't get their oil out. The oil is essentially backing up the system and they can't siphon off the oil.

Haley Caradilla (42:49)

They don't know where to put it. So they're resorting to extreme, extreme measures.

Dan Bongino (42:52)

I didn't have a plan. Lucky Trump from the top ropes again. Drug lords going down. Fentanyl deaths dropping 20%. Crime rate the lowest in U.S. history. Homicide rate lowest in U.S. history. Border sealed, zero. Illegal migrants for multiple months entered. Entering into the country.

Haley Caradilla (43:13)

Just crazy.

Dan Bongino (43:15)

Who did that? Trump.

Justin (43:19)

This is the best part about a live show.

Dan Bongino (43:20)

This is why I tell everyone.

Justin (43:21)

People ask me about podcasting all the time. Like, should I go live? What if I say something stupid?

Dan Bongino (43:25)

I correct it later.

Justin (43:26)

It's fine. You gotta go live.

Dan Bongino (43:28)

You gotta go live and you have to.

Justin (43:31)

You.

Dan Bongino (43:31)

It's gotta be a family. It's gotta be.

Justin (43:34)

That is the benefit of live streaming. You gotta be live. It's a real. Like you got chat stars like you guys, you're the best.

Haley Caradilla (43:40)

Here's Lucky Trump again. You know what?

Dan Bongino (43:43)

Put up the Bloomberg article if you can. First again.

Haley Caradilla (43:45)

He just keeps getting lucky on the economy too. I don't know what's happening. I want to gamble with this guy.

Dan Bongino (43:50)

US core capital goods orders jumped by the most since 222020 date April 29, 2026.

Haley Caradilla (43:57)

I'm pretty sure that's today.

Justin (44:00)

This guy, man, it's incredible.

Haley Caradilla (44:05)

Mr. President, can you do me a favor?

Dan Bongino (44:07)

I play blackjack in some of the casinos down here once in a while.

Haley Caradilla (44:11)

Mr. President, would you mind coming down

Dan Bongino (44:12)

playing blackjack with us at some point?

Haley Caradilla (44:14)

Here's another one.

Dan Bongino (44:15)

Here's CNBC yesterday. Certainly not the biggest fans of Donald Trump. Here's CNBC's Rick Santelli yesterday noting that the Richmond Fed manufacturing index, in other

Haley Caradilla (44:24)

words, stuff we produce, the numbers popped really high. Crazy guy just keeps getting lucky.

Dan Bongino (44:29)

Check this out.

Rick Santelli (44:29)

See Richmond Fed Manufacturing. Everybody continues to, of course, monitor to see if onshoring and some of the issues of manufacturing are picking up a bit. This particular Read is better than expected for April. We're looking at three versus an expectation of one. That's the high water mark of the year. As a matter of fact, you have to go all the way back to February 25th to find a positive number of three. To find a higher number, you're back to April of 2022.

Justin (45:00)

Man, get that.

Dan Bongino (45:01)

Get this guy at the poker table. I don't play poker.

Justin (45:04)

I know how to. I'm not very good at that either. But

Dan Bongino (45:08)

you see why.

Haley Caradilla (45:09)

I

Dan Bongino (45:12)

see why. It's exhausting dealing with the doom and the gloom and the liberal media. Everything's so awful. Everything is so tough. We had 9% inflation under Joe Biden

Haley Caradilla (45:23)

just a couple of years back, folks.

Dan Bongino (45:25)

This wasn't like, you know, the time of like, Kit Carson and Davy Crockett, okay? This was just a couple years ago. You had 9% inflation.

Justin (45:35)

That was the peak.

Dan Bongino (45:36)

You had tens of millions of people illegally sneaking into the country. You had the George Floyd riots, crime breaking out. You had the chop zone in Seattle

Haley Caradilla (45:47)

where you had a group of lunatics

Dan Bongino (45:48)

like, we're taking over an American city.

Haley Caradilla (45:52)

This is not that long ago. You had the Russians snubbed their nose. You had equipment, billions of dollars of

Dan Bongino (45:59)

equipment left behind in Afghanistan for a terror group to take.

Haley Caradilla (46:04)

This just happened. And now you have. Where we are now. How do you even compare the two?

Justin (46:11)

Oh, it's just luck.

Haley Caradilla (46:12)

Good.

Justin (46:12)

Come play cards with me.

Dan Bongino (46:15)

And please do not.

Justin (46:17)

It's long. It's all Trump.

Dan Bongino (46:20)

Please do not expect the left to change. I was on Will Cain show yesterday ON FOX About 4, 20 or so, a block appearance. And I said, guys, listen, please don't be under the illusion now that we're ever going to get back to, quote, normal. We are not. The left is now fully embraced psychotic rhetoric. They will never apologize. They don't care. They really don't care if President Trump is the subject of multiple assassination attempts and is the subject more.

Haley Caradilla (46:48)

They don't care. If they cared, they would change their

Dan Bongino (46:49)

behavior and they're not going to do it.

Haley Caradilla (46:51)

Here is one of the most prominent

Dan Bongino (46:53)

Democrat voices anywhere in the world. This is the minority leader in that. In the House, Hakeem Jeffries.

Justin (47:01)

The new Pelosi, right?

Dan Bongino (47:03)

Just not as smart.

Haley Caradilla (47:05)

Here's Hakeem Jeffries.

Dan Bongino (47:06)

He's asked about this manifesto by the suspect in the assassination attempt this weekend.

Haley Caradilla (47:11)

Maybe it's a good idea, you being

Dan Bongino (47:13)

a prominent Democrat considering, like political violence impacts people from, you know, both parties in politics at some point. Maybe it's a good Idea to read this. I mean, you are supposed to be, you know, a respected political figure and a voice of reason, correct?

Haley Caradilla (47:29)

Here.

Dan Bongino (47:29)

He's asked a question, a little bit of a mumble in the beginning. No, no, he did.

Haley Caradilla (47:33)

He just doesn't want to. Of course he read it. He just doesn't want to acknowledge he

Dan Bongino (47:37)

read it because then they'll have to

Haley Caradilla (47:38)

take responsibility for this, and they don't

Dan Bongino (47:40)

want to check this

Abortion Advocate (47:44)

president as a head of a rapist. And some of your own members have made some very similar comments on the House floor. You don't think that perhaps these comments may have cited, perhaps this legislature?

Rick Santelli (47:59)

I haven't had an opportunity to read the manifesto. The defendant should be prosecuted to the full and complete extent of the law.

Haley Caradilla (48:11)

Folks, this guy's.

Justin (48:12)

He's just full of shit, okay?

Dan Bongino (48:14)

I promise you. If that manifesto was a guy trying to breach the magnetometer checkpoint, and the manifesto said, I'm here to kill prominent Democrats because he was some kind of, you know, Tea Party guy or something, Hakeem Jeffries would. The manifesto would be everywhere.

Haley Caradilla (48:31)

My point is they're never going to change. Put up that Wall Street Journal piece

Justin (48:34)

about the wealth tax you put up before.

Haley Caradilla (48:35)

They're never going to change. It doesn't matter how much facts and

Dan Bongino (48:40)

data smacked them and kicked them in the nuts.

Haley Caradilla (48:43)

They are never going to change.

Dan Bongino (48:45)

The California wealth tax I've been telling you about where they want to tax, you know, wealthy folks in California and basically confiscate assets from them above and beyond what they pay in income tax has already advanced.

Haley Caradilla (48:57)

It doesn't matter that they've tried this and it's failed every single time. This thing is going to make it on the ballot.

Dan Bongino (49:05)

And if it passes, you are going

Haley Caradilla (49:08)

to basically have your assets above and beyond the ridiculous taxes you pay in California confiscated. I promise you this.

Dan Bongino (49:16)

Remember this episode. I hate to ask you for multiple flags in the chat, but flag this one. Audience archivist Judy.

Haley Caradilla (49:22)

Remember this show.

Dan Bongino (49:24)

If this passes this California wealth tax and is implemented, I guarantee you give it a year or two to settle in.

Haley Caradilla (49:33)

I guarantee you.

Dan Bongino (49:35)

Flag it in the chat that this

Haley Caradilla (49:37)

thing comes nowhere close to the projections

Dan Bongino (49:41)

of the tax revenue it claims to generate, because people are going to. It's going to lose.

Haley Caradilla (49:45)

It's been tried over and over, and it never works. It doesn't matter. They're not interested in facts.

Dan Bongino (49:53)

Having said that, this is a. This is a really serious topic.

Justin (49:57)

You know, the show is always an emotional roller coaster. Thank you for all the flags there. Remember it. We're never wrong on this, folks. The topic of abortion and the killing and termination of human life in the womb is something that's deeply, deeply personal to me. I just, I, I'm going to tell you something. I.

Dan Bongino (50:20)

It's an issue that doesn't, it doesn't

Justin (50:24)

get as much play on in the conservative ecosystem as it, as it should.

Dan Bongino (50:32)

If we can't respect human life at

Justin (50:35)

all stages, then there's nothing human about. We're no different than animals. I gotta tell you something.

Dan Bongino (50:43)

I can't understand for the life of me how I don't care if you're

Justin (50:46)

a woman, you're a man, you're a child.

Dan Bongino (50:49)

When you're exposed to the horrors of what abortion really is, I can't understand how you would be like, that's okay. At a minimum. Even if you are a die hard, like blue haired radical leftist, At a minimum,

Haley Caradilla (51:06)

wouldn't you say?

Dan Bongino (51:07)

Like, listen, it's really grotesque and horrible, but here's why I think it's necessary. I don't, I'm just saying like, wouldn't you even.

Haley Caradilla (51:14)

They can't even say that.

Dan Bongino (51:17)

If you have not seen this exchange,

Justin (51:20)

get ready, put down what you're doing, please. This is really, this is important. I know some of you may be at work or elsewhere.

Dan Bongino (51:25)

Tell your boss Dan said it's okay. Dispensation.

Justin (51:28)

I'll sign your attendance slip for the show.

Dan Bongino (51:32)

Congressman Brandon Gill is just a rock star.

Justin (51:35)

He is. This guy is just incredible. Out of Texas. I've known him for a while. Great guy. He's up on Capitol Hill the other day with this abortion advocate and he just calmly and as cool as the other side of the pillow, starts discussing what actually happens in abortion and asks this person up on the Hill, hey,

Dan Bongino (51:59)

which one do you prefer?

Justin (52:00)

Fair question. I mean, is it one that's air quotes better than the other? Folks, please pay attention to every second of this. It is worth your time. Check this out.

Congressman Brandon Gill (52:11)

You're an advocate for abortion, for abortion policy. What's your favorite type of abortion?

Abortion Advocate (52:17)

I am an advocate for patients having access to the full realm of reproductive health care.

Congressman Brandon Gill (52:23)

But do you have a preferred method of abortion that you, that you like? I do not mean read through a couple of different methods and I want to get your take on, on how much you like these. The first type is called a suction abortion. This is when the cervix is dilated and a strong suction 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner tears the baby's body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container. Do you prefer that method?

Abortion Advocate (52:52)

I stand by my former testimony.

Congressman Brandon Gill (52:54)

That sounds kind of gross, doesn't it? Sounds pretty gruesome. Do you agree? It does to me.

Abortion Advocate (53:02)

I stand by how I answered your question fully and accurately.

Congressman Brandon Gill (53:04)

How about this one? It's called dilation and evacuation. Forceps are inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby's body to dismember him or her. If the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it. Do you prefer that method?

Abortion Advocate (53:20)

I would prefer to talk about the reason the hearing was called and the basis of my expert testing testimony.

Congressman Brandon Gill (53:25)

It's uncomfortable to hear. This isn't. Is. I think it is because it's barbaric and evil. How about this one? It's called the saline injection. It's when a 20% salt solution is injected through the mother's abdomen into the baby's amniotic fluid. The baby's skin is burned off, the baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration and hemorrhaging of the brain. Do you prefer that method?

Abortion Advocate (53:52)

I would prefer to talk about the subject of the hearing.

Congressman Brandon Gill (53:54)

This is the subject of the hearing. This is about protests outside of abortion clinics. I'm asking you about abortion.

Justin (54:08)

I'm just. I'm obviously looking at the chat and I think you guys and ladies out there feel. Feel the way I do. Chris1 says, this breaks my heart. I cannot believe the horror these babies go through. Either can I? Chris won. A couple of folks in there made me cry. I'm sorry about the barbarity of having to even play that. I hope you don't have kids in the room listening, but actually,

Dan Bongino (54:44)

I think

Justin (54:44)

if they're old enough, they should hear it. Because you notice that these liberal pro abortion folks seem so proud of their efforts, but they don't want to talk about what they're doing. That should be the first sign to you that they know exactly what they're doing. That this isn't misfeasance. In other words, this is malfeasance. This isn't, you know, you see someone falling on the sidewalk and you don't help them up. You know, misfeasant.

Dan Bongino (55:15)

This is.

Justin (55:15)

This is malfeasance.

Dan Bongino (55:20)

This malfeasance.

Justin (55:21)

In other words, they try to get up and you punch them in the face. And they know that. Folks, I am strongly pro life. If we can't defend human life from conception through natural death, then we're no different than animals.

Dan Bongino (55:42)

That was hard to take.

Justin (55:43)

I Know, that was a lot for the show. There's always a lot of we get in the show.

Dan Bongino (55:49)

You're not going to change hearts and

Justin (55:50)

minds by covering up what's actually happening

Dan Bongino (55:54)

and saying, well, let's sanitize the language,

Justin (55:57)

let's bleep this out. No, Brandon Gill did the right thing. Explain to them exactly what they're doing. And if you are a liberal watching

Dan Bongino (56:05)

the show, I noticed like your first response when you confront liberals about the barbarity of abortion. Did you guys notice this too? Their first response is rage. And this isn't gonna sound crazy, but I've noticed it too, especially in my campaigns for office. Cuz I would get into debates about abortion all the time at county fairs and else with liberals who'd come up to me and knew who I was. Honestly, I don't think they're mad at you. Of course they are. No, I'm dead serious. They're acting, Manny, but they're really mad at themselves because they know they support this barbarism and they're mad at themselves and they just need something to take it out on, to take that emotion away from themselves and plant it on someone else. It's like a transference thing. For those of you who took psychology

Justin (56:50)

in graduate school, they're mad at themselves for supporting this.

Dan Bongino (56:55)

You will never see a liberal get more verbally aggressive with their rhetoric, ever. You will never see it. Then when you confront them about the details of what happens in an abortion. Try it.

Justin (57:11)

Watch what happens.

Dan Bongino (57:12)

Just be careful because I'm telling you, they get really, really aggressive. All right, I'm going to take a quick break. And on the other side of this, I'm going to get to some new pictures that emerged. The Washington Post got them of the attempted assassination, another one of President Trump this weekend. And there's a couple of things I want to talk about from my perspective.

Justin (57:33)

Having done this protection space for a while, it's important.

Dan Bongino (57:37)

We need to keep this president safe.

Justin (57:40)

That's it.

Dan Bongino (57:42)

Period, folks. I've been talking about preparedness for as long as I've been doing the show. It's because I believe in it.

Justin (57:48)

I live it.

Dan Bongino (57:50)

There's no excuse not to be prepared. No one's coming to save you. But I guarantee there are folks out

Justin (57:55)

there who still don't have an emergency food supply or water filtration or backup powerhouse.

Dan Bongino (57:58)

I don't know why that is.

Justin (57:59)

Well, now, as in right now, like today, it's time to get prepared and

Dan Bongino (58:03)

take that anxiety off your plate. My friends at my Patriot Supply are

Justin (58:07)

Justin (58:21)

Okay. Plus all the preparedness gear you'll actually need need in a crisis like off grid cooking gear. You're gonna have to prepare the stuff. Water filtration, very important. Not going to survive long without water.

Dan Bongino (58:32)

Justin (58:54)

That's preparewithdan.com take that anxiety off your plate. Okay, so the Washington Post put out this article this morning right before we dropped on the show and they have some clearer images of the images of

Dan Bongino (59:08)

the middle checkpoint magnetometer area for that tragic incident that happened this weekend.

Justin (59:14)

The another attempted assassination on President Trump

Dan Bongino (59:16)

Headline video shows moment Secret Service officer

Justin (59:20)

fired at correspondents dinner suspect.

Dan Bongino (59:23)

So you'll see from these pictures that they appear to have detected four muzzle flashes, meaning four rounds. If you listen on Apple and Spotify you can read the article yourself. However, it's a video show. You'll see in the lower left hand corner of the four images in the kind of multiplexed layout there. You'll see the muzzle flashes on these. Now there are a couple of things I know that jumped out to a number of people as these images emerged early on. One of them is the crossfire situation. You know you're not inaccurate and I'm

Justin (59:58)

going to address that in a second.

Dan Bongino (60:00)

But first contact with this suspect is

Justin (60:03)

obviously here very chaotic and we've addressed

Dan Bongino (60:06)

the questions earlier in the week when we were discussing how the middle perimeter there's going to be an after action report on this on was this middle perimeter of the magnetometer, was it too

Justin (60:19)

close to the event?

Dan Bongino (60:21)

I heard Director Curran was given kind of just a quick interview with the reporters. He was walking out of Capitol Hill and one of the things he had mentioned is that there was a reason and he mentioned it was classified that the perimeter was compressed into, into that specific area. I, I have to take him at his word there.

Justin (60:40)

That happens sometimes.

Dan Bongino (60:41)

I told you about the site I did in Ohio at a factory with really dangerous tools. There was no way to expand out the middle perimeter. Everybody had a utility knife, a screwdriver. We had to compress it. We didn't have a choice. So I want to hear what he has to say about that because there may be a very good reason. However, a couple things about the imagery here. I think going forward, and this is just my humble opinion on the matter, I think what they're going to have to do is they're going to have to better strategically place personnel at these checkpoints under the assumption that if there is first contact and an engagement that requires deadly force, that's what this was. The officer agent at the scene is discharging a firearm using deadly force force. They're going to have to better place personnel at these checkpoints so that a crossfire doesn't develop. If there's first contact, was it just because they were breaking the equipment down? You know, I don't know. Again, anybody can Monday morning quarterback anything, but you, you know, you can see yourself. Obviously not the most ideal situation. So I think they're going to look into that. One of the other things, you know, just keep going through this image.

Justin (61:48)

You know, you can split screen or whatever you want.

Dan Bongino (61:50)

But I think another thing they're going to have to look at is a serpentine style entrance, like you would do with motor vehicles coming into a site. You know how these sensitive sites, in order to prevent a car with a car bomb from getting ahead of steam, they put a serpentine, they'll put some blockades in this manner so the car has to slow down to go around right to get in. I think they may want to consider at these magnetometer checkpoints again, giving it a serpentine style, maybe with some ballistic protection, so that a subject like that can't run without being impeded at some point. If they're, you know, dead set on running through it, they're gonna run through it, but at least slow them down temporarily. And time, time, time is your best friend. Time gives you time to react. There's always gonna be a fog of war. That's why I'm, I'm, you know, I'm hesitant to criticize first contact situations because. Because fog of war is always there. However, you need to buy yourself time and a serpentine style entrance would do that. Another thing I think would be really appropriate here is that middle, notice the magnetometer is the middle perimeter. You're like, well, if that's the middle perimeter, what's the outside Perimeter, the outside perimeter. They tend to use surveillance assets on the outside. It can be locals, it can be Secret Service assets. I think they really need to expand that. Basically, undercover agents, it's not a secret. They use them. It's been out there, and you're just engaging in general counter surveillance, looking for people watching you, looking for people acting suspiciously. The subject may have been picked out or picked off sooner if he was confronted in that external perimeter by an undercover agent who may have seen something or may have seen him, say, in a.

Justin (63:32)

In a closet or a bathroom, putting this weapon together.

Dan Bongino (63:35)

Just an idea. Again, do with it what you want. It's going to require resources. There's no doubt about it. Another thing I think they should consider is what's called ppd, the Presidential Protective Division. Those are the bodies specifically assigned to President Trump, in my case, President Bush and President Obama. That detail, I don't. You know, you see these movies about the Secret Service, and I think there's a perception out there that the overwhelming majority of Secret Service agents are on particular protection assignments. They're not. A lot of them are out in field offices doing criminal work, which is

Justin (64:11)

a whole other issue I've already addressed.

Dan Bongino (64:12)

I think they should take a look at that. However, I think they need to dramatically right now, scale up the Presidential Protective

Justin (64:21)

Division,

Dan Bongino (64:24)

Pull some of these agents out of the field. When I first got on the job in 1999, you only had to do about five or six years in the field before you were eligible to go to ppd, the Presidential Protective Division.

Haley Caradilla (64:38)

That.

Dan Bongino (64:39)

That changed. By the time I had left. You had to be in the field, you know, nine, ten years or so. I think that has to change. I think you have to dump the time requirements down dramatically, scale up the Presidential Protection Division. Maybe give it a while before some of these agents can work the shift right around the President, because that's where you have to be really dialed in and have a lot of experience. Experience. And maybe start using some Presidential Protection Division agents outside of just the body men, and put them outside with the poststanders.

Haley Caradilla (65:12)

Why would you do that?

Dan Bongino (65:14)

Because these are the guys and women on the detail on the PPD who

Haley Caradilla (65:18)

understand how it works.

Dan Bongino (65:20)

And I think they would make decisions quicker. I know that sounds crazy. They've never done that before. But if you took agents at an earlier point in their career, extended the Presidential Protection Division assignment out to five, maybe even seven years, and you started using them on the outer perimeter, middle perimeter, too, to work with field office agents who were out there, I think you would get a better response. One more thing I just wanted to mention about this too. Supervisors in the Secret Service and the Federal government are GS14. Usually get hired as a 7 or a 9. You can get a promotion or you're not a supervisor, but get promotion up to GS 13, 13 to 14 and then 14 to 15, 15 to SES. Those are all managers they should look at at every checkpoint. Instead of 114 kind of roaming around

Justin (66:14)

a supervisor at every checkpoint as well.

Dan Bongino (66:16)

Because that middle checkpoint is where you really need to hold once they get in and breach that inner perimeter. It's a strict evacuation. You better hope you can get out of there. Just a couple of ideas throwing it out there.

Justin (66:29)

I appreciate the work they do every day and salute the bravery of the cat guys and the shift guys who

Dan Bongino (66:34)

did an evacuation there.

Justin (66:36)

But we can always do things better.

Dan Bongino (66:39)

Okay, a couple more things I want to address, folks. This is my public service announcement of

Justin (66:43)

the day to parents.

Dan Bongino (66:43)

I brought this up multiple times. This 7, 6, 4.

Justin (66:47)

And these child predator threats are very real.

Dan Bongino (66:50)

We save thousands of kids locked up, hundreds of child predators.

Justin (66:53)

We had multiple operations when I was there.

Dan Bongino (66:55)

Operation Restoring Justice, Enduring Justice.

Justin (66:58)

These were areas very close and sensitive in my heart.

Dan Bongino (67:01)

You have to be really, really careful with your kids. I'm not telling you to, you know, force them into a sealed room and take away every device ever. And don't let them look at anything ever. Don't let them play a video game. I'm not telling you that. I'm just telling you if you're going to allow your kids onto platforms like,

Justin (67:18)

like Roblox and elsewhere and where there

Dan Bongino (67:20)

are chat rooms and a lot of these platforms have done a lot of good work in trying to eliminate vehicles by which child predators can contact kids there. I want to acknowledge that. But there is still a risk there. I saw this story at Breitbart yesterday and I'm telling you I would hear these every single day in briefings on these violent crimes against children cases. Horror Private school employee in South Florida has been charged with grooming children on the video game Roblox and and paying in game currency in exchange for sexually

Justin (67:51)

explicit images of themselves.

Dan Bongino (67:55)

Please find someone in your family who's

Justin (67:58)

tech savvy and make sure that if your kids are on these platforms, games or elsewhere where there's a chat feature

Dan Bongino (68:06)

and people can contact them. Make sure those settings are super strict to limit anyone contacting your kid. Because once the group grooming process starts, folks, it is very hard to stop until there's an arrest made and by then in many cases it's too late.

Justin (68:24)

And here's what I mean. And this is the hard part to discuss.

Dan Bongino (68:30)

Once these images are sent and say a child sends these explicit images to

Justin (68:36)

this groomer who contacts them via these platforms. We've had multiple cases of children who've committed suicide and killed themselves because the person tells them like this is out there. And you know, I'm going to do this if you don't do that. And I'm not talking about one or two cases. I'm talking about a lot. So I'm just asking you as a friend if your kids are on these platforms, they can have all the fun and enjoyment they want. But get someone who's tech savvy to please take a look at this. It is really important.

Dan Bongino (69:12)

I've got a couple announcements. Friday we will not have a show. I have to, I have to take

Justin (69:17)

a trip on Thursday.

Dan Bongino (69:18)

I was really trying to make the Friday show happen. There will definitely be a show tomorrow. Thursday, same time, live right here.

Justin (69:25)

But I have to do some traveling. It's very important I make this trip.

Dan Bongino (69:28)

I was really trying to make the Friday show happen.

Justin (69:31)

And like Fetch from Mean Girls. I'm sorry, I can't make Fetch happen.

Dan Bongino (69:36)

So there'll be no show on Friday.

Justin (69:38)

You always have Vince and Haley. You always have Haley at noon.

Dan Bongino (69:41)

You got Vince at 8am every single day.

Justin (69:43)

So you'll have your share of Bongino Inc. Content out there. But I will be off on, on Friday because I'm, I can't. I tried. I really tried my hardest.

Dan Bongino (69:52)

But I will definitely be here tomorrow.

Justin (69:54)

There's always a lot to cover, as you know.

Dan Bongino (69:56)

And I'm waiting today. Hopefully we'll get a Supreme Court decision

Justin (70:00)

on TPS temporary protected status. If they shoot this down at the Supreme Court, folks. And people are allowed to stay here

Dan Bongino (70:08)

under temporary protected status where they wrote into the law. No judicial review. And a judicial review says there is judicial review, then laws just don't mean anything. This is a really important case.

Justin (70:19)

Hopefully we'll get something today and hopefully I'll be able to address it tomorrow.
