President Biden has deployed more than 40,000 U.S. military personnel and assets to that region over the past year to try to prevent a regional war. Iran is weakened, but the US still considers it the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. And it has drastically reduced the time it would take to develop a nuclear weapon. It is down now to one or two weeks time weaponization ambitions. Are you saying there that the United States did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponization? That's irrelevant. I think that question being asked in the media, that's an irrelevant question. That isn't any point in U.S. intelligence assessments. You know. No, it's not. Yes, it was. No, it's not political. I know that better than you know that and I know that that's not the case. But I'm asking you whether the order was given and the people who say that it doesn't matter if the order was given, they have everything they need to build nuclear weapons. Why would you bury. Why would you bury things in a mountain 300ft under the ground? Right. Why would you bury six? Why do they have 60% enriched uranium? You know, in the intelligence assessment that it was that Iran wanted to be a threshold state. I'm talking about the intelligence assessment March assessment.

A (36:24)

It is one of the greatest clips ever with Rubio just filleting this utter buffoon. She has never seen an intelligence assessment ever. How the hell does she know what the intelligence assessment is yet she's so confident, attacking how the Trump era, how they had addressed the Iran issue versus the Biden era. The framing of it totally changes. The picture's the same. It's just they changed the frame around it. The Iranian threat has not gone anywhere. They want nukes, they chant death to America. They've been doing it for close to 50 years. So why isn't the media consistent on their approach? Because they are not reliable or valid. The media, they're not. The media just changes. The scale is not measuring anything. Or the only scale they have is how do we hurt Donald Trump? They will say anything. They don't care. They are cheering on the other side because they understand the hotspot inside the Republican tent. Listen to me and listen good. As my grandmother used to say. I'm telling you, they understand foreign affairs are the hotspot and they are intentionally pouring gasoline on it. That is not to say we shouldn't dispute this and argue this in the tent. That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying the liberal media folks are, are unquestionably contributing to this by actively cheering on the other side to make it seem to the people the small minority of the Republican movement. You saw in the polls, the interactive polls thing, put that up again. There's a small, small minority of people that don't agree with what we're doing in Iran right now. They are trying to make that 6% of the MAGA supporters that disapprove of the military strikes in Iran seem like it's 60%. That way you have this crowd effect where you're like, well, I don't want to be in a minority in the 40% who approve of these strikes. So I'm going to change my mind. You're not in the minority. You're in the 91% of the MAGA movement. Do you understand why I'm putting this up? The validity and reliability component, they don't have either. I take it back. They are reliably anti Trump. That's it. They don't care. They would throw their own kids overboard if it meant damaging the Trump presidency, folks. It's like they're cheering from the other side. Put some of that VO in. It's, you know, again, it's two weeks. This is us taking out some of more of the Iranian navy, which is just at this point left with a couple small boats. There's, there's still a threat, obviously. However, there is zero question right now that the war, that the war effort going on right now and all of these strikes have had a far greater impact on the Iranians than even, I think, our own military thought in the beginning. Here's a video from cnn. Scott Jennings, who's great, he's one of ours. Jennings is on CNN and talking about this is another. Here's another hot spot. They listen. This is very. This is tragic. I don't like talking about this, but we have to. There was an Iranian school for girls that was hit, who hit it, we don't yet know. Unlike some of these other demon savage countries, our military does not target girls schools. If it was an errant attack, we have an investigation. We will find out. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a war theater, okay? Tragic stuff happens. This is the real world. We're not a bunch of kids. We can all handle it. If we screwed up, we'll find out. And we'll figure out a way to make targeting better, more accurate in the future. Demon savage countries do none of this. The left knows and they will never let this story go. They're acting like this is the first time that you know innocents have died in combat. These demon savage countries target innocent people. They send indiscriminate missiles and cluster bombs into Tel Aviv. They're not hitting military targets. Here's Jennings, Scott Jennings doing the right thing here. Fighting back against this Iranian girls school story. They're never ever going to let go. Because they see, not because they care about it. It's because they see it as being a hotspot in the tent they can use to divide us to go. You see, you see what's happening? Check this out.

B (40:55)

The most important thing Hegseth said and all Americans need to know and understand this. The difference between us and the enemy. We do not target civilians when it happens. And it will happen in war. It is tragic and it is not meant to be. The enemy targets civilians. They hide behind civilians. They fund people who set up bases in hospitals so that civilians are in the way. That's not what we do. An investigation needs to occur. All the truth needs to be told. And we will give transparency to the American people. But there's two parts of this war. Our part and the enemy. The enemy targets the hat tip at

A (41:35)

Overton News for the closed captioning on there. They will never let this go, folks. War, military activity, any kind of military strike. You run the risk that this stuff happens. We don't even know. We don't even have the entire data set of how it happened yet. They will not let this go because they sense the hotspot within the tent. And I'm just strongly, strongly, almost imploring and begging you to apply the Bongino rule. Give it some time. Let this investigation happen. We'll find out what happened. If we did it, we're going to the country will formally probably take recognize this. We're going to say we screwed up. We're going to fix it. These demon savages don't do this. Don't compare us to them. They target. They target girls, schools and kids and old people and innocent civilians, businesses all the time. They would rather target them than military targets. And then I see this other line. You know President Trump campaigned against forever wars. Yeah, he did. Are we're in one. We're not even two weeks in yet. What are you talking about? I don't understand. Like, do facts matter? Do you care about the scale being either valid or reliable at all? Or have you just given up people attacking the President and his pretty bold decision to do this and get rid of this festering cancer in Iran? Can you at least give him some time to follow through on the plan and enact an exit strategy? He doesn't want to be there forever. I don't know how many times he's got to say this. Here's Secretary of War Pete Hegset saying it yesterday. Forever war. We're not even two weeks in. Check this out.

B (43:27)

Not 2003. This is not endless nation building under those types of quagmires we saw under Bush or Obama. It's not even close. Our generation of soldier will not let that happen again. And nor will this president, who very clearly ran against those kinds of never ending, nebulously scoped missions.

A (43:52)

Those days are dead.

B (43:54)

Instead, we're winning decisively with brutal efficiency, total air dominance, and an unbreakable will to accomplish accomplish the President's objectives.

A (44:06)

Pretty straightforward, folks. Listen to me. If we are involved in extended, prolonged military activities, you know, six months or a year from now, which is not forever, but I would see your point, then we'll readdress that. Okay? But that's not where we are right now. And this is where I discuss constantly the idea of validity, reliability and media framing. How they're not reliable or valid. The only thing they reliably do is attack anything this President does. There are no guiding principles at all here. This is a perfect example. I know I've told you probably close to 2, 300 times, but it matters. What is gaslighting if you don't understand the principle of gaslighting? Gaslighting is getting people to believe a narrative, a story that is patently untrue. How do you get people to believe something that's false? You get them to believe something that's false by lying about it, lying often about it, repeating it, lying confidently about it, but then importantly, isolating people from the actual truth. Reminds me of that. Was it M. Night Shyamalan was at the Village? You've probably seen the movie with, oh, these Scary people on the outside, they isolated them from the truth and then when they see the truth, they're like, well, not that scary all of a sudden. That's what gaslighting is, the isolating people from the truth. I'm sorry if I'm getting into too much wonky, but it's critical. Here is the framing component where you take a story and you frame it in a way, you put a perimeter around it that you leave on the outside certain facts that are important for normal, reasonable people to form a good opinion. One of them right now, despite we're in these global hostilities going on right now, despite that fact. The Democrat Party, the Democrat, not Democratic, the Democrat Party has voted now or refused to vote on opening up the government for dhs. The Department of Homeland Security, they have shut down the Department of Homeland Security effectively, except for emergency employees. They're not getting paid. We are in a perilous, perilously dangerous global situation right now and the Democrats do not want to open it up. That's just a fact. Now that's a fact that should be in the framing, Correct. It's kind of critical to note. Republicans want to open it up. They voted for it. They will vote for it. The Democrats do not. Here's ABC. Now do you see why, you know, upwards of 60 to 70% of Democrats still believe the pee pee hoax, still believe the whole, you know, Ukraine call impeachment hoax drama. Why do they believe it? Because this is what they consume every night. Here is Jonathan Moore. I never say his name. I'm sorry, it's not intentional. Here he is on ABC talking about the government shutdown of dhs, TSA lines and all this other stuff. Notice the word, he doesn't mention or fails to mention this, that the Democrat Party is voted against opening up DHS in the government. Kind of important, no? Check this out.

B (47:15)

Travel chaos at many American airports. TSA checkpoints, the long lines, this partial government shutdown dragging on. And TSA agents haven't had a full paycheck in weeks. Tonight, missed flights and ruined vacations as TSA staffing shortages throw spring break travel into chaos. Airports packed from Miami to Phoenix to Houston's Hobby Airport, where even seasoned travelers like Claire Lee were shocked by the crowds this morning. First time ever and I travel the world. I've never seen anything like this.

A (47:45)

Now folks, this is critical because if the framing were to work the other way, that is the Republicans had shut down DHS and there was a Democrat, President Obama, Biden, God forbid, aoc, you get the point. I promise you, as my name is Dan Bongino, that ABC would be reporting opening up fourth day of the fifth day, or whatever day it is, of the Republican shutdown of dhs. Republicans eager to hoist pain on the back of everyday American travelers during spring break. You freaking know that would be the segment, folks. Come on. You know it. Don't bullshit me. You know it. On the left. That's exactly how it opened up day 12 of the Republican GOP. Painful. Drop an anvil on the bare foot of the American public. Republicans saying F you to America. But they conveniently leave out, leave out that it's the Democrats who are doing this to you. They're doing it to you. Look at me, America Focker, tune in. They are doing this to you. That is just a fact. It is an unavoidable, maybe an uncomfortable fact for you, but it is an unavoidable fact. They did this to you. Put up the Sheldon Whitehouse tweet. I'm going to show you. Here's a Democrat Senator. It's absolute goofball, by the way. Clown. Here he is tweeting. Just utter bullshit. We offered to fund tsa. No conditions. Republicans refused. They want the hostage to extract more ICE money. No ICE reforms. That is total bullshit. That is factually inaccurate. They've offered a number of ICE reforms. Body cams. You just want other reforms that are unworkable, like warrants. Warrants for a 20 million God way. Are you insane? We've never done that. That's because you want to slow down the process. Because you don't want to deport people. They did not offer any of this stuff, folks. You listen, man, I know, I know we have a small number, but we do have some Democrats who watch the show because I get their nasty grams. A couple of them. We've made converts. Regardless of your feelings about either party, I'm just giving you the facts here. The Republicans want this open. They've offered reforms. They. Yes, you're correct. Not all of the reforms that Democrats want. But that's not the way politics work. We did win the White House, the Senate and the House. And you just choose to keep the government shut down. That's just the facts. You see how this framing works? This is why you've got 40, 45, 47% of the country liberal Democrat, progressive and left leaning independents who believe in a bunch of bullshit all the time. Everything they're being told is neither valid nor reliable. And they seemingly just don't care. Here is another just. This is the clip I was talking about the beginning of the show. This clip is hard to believe. Now I'll say because again I choose the truth over just unmitigated media centered hostility even though I have reason to feel hostile towards them. I'll show you the tweet in a second. Abby Phillip who is a host on cnn, she did tweet out a correction. I'll show you at the end to be fair. But that does not excuse this utter abomination last night that aired on cnn. Now if you missed what happened in New York, there are a couple of suspects in a terror bombing case going on right now who threw TATP explosives at a protesters guy, Jake Lang. Now because the media doesn't like the fact that according to their own words they've made some pro ISIS and pro terror statements and they may have some alignment with Islamo radicalism. Well not may according to their own statements. According to media reports at this point they're looking to frame this in any other way that it's not an Islamophanatical terror attack. Here's Abby Phillips last night on CNN and you're like wait, what? Check this out.

B (52:02)

Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted terror attack against New York's Mayor Zoran Mamdani and the House speaker where Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments.

A (52:16)

The attack was not at Mamdani, the mayor. It was a. From what appears to be, from the evidence here, these suspects were driven by Islamo radicalism. She did put up a correction tweet this morning. I want to correct something I said last night. The bombs thrown over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti Muslim press protesters and not targeted. Mondami. The wording was inaccurate. I didn't catch it. I apologize for the error. Whatever man. Using the scale analogy again. Maybe we here in the MAGA movement, conservative movement, in the Republican libertarian movement, maybe we'd be more willing to forgive if the scale we were stepping on CNN was right just once in a blue moon. But Abby, you guys do this so often, all the time that I'm sorry nobody can find grace for you at this point. I'm really sorry. I wish it were different. I wish if you had gotten it right 99% of the time and something just made its way into the teleprompter and you read it. I think even the most hardcore people would be like ok, people make mistakes. You make mistakes every single night. You guys bullshit people. No one's, no one believes that this wasn't motivated by something different than a teleprompter error. No one believes that because we have no reason to believe it. Because every time we step on the scale, it's wrong. But it's not even wrong by the same amount. It's wrong by a differing amount depending on how angry you are at Trump that day. You know, and the frustrating part about this is how the Democrats, the libs and the media, whenever you get on their scale, it's always wrong and it's always wrong by a different amount. They always play dumb. They always play stupid, as if they don't know what they're doing. Like, man, sorry, it was just in the prompter. Maybe it was, I don't know. But nobody believes you. Nobody freaking believes you. Why? Because you guys say stupid shit on all the time. That makes no sense that when you finally apologize for said stupid shit, everybody goes, they're just going to say something else stupid tomorrow. Here's what I mean. I asked them yesterday to put this together. Here's what I'm talking about. This is the frustrating part. They're either lying to you. Democrats are playing dumb. Lying or playing dumb, I honestly don't know sometimes which one it is. I thought Kentanji Brown Jackson, when she was in her hearing for the Supreme Court seat, I really thought that she was. She was just lying here when she was asked what a woman is. But I got to tell you, after hearing her up in the Supreme Court in action, she may just be genuinely intellectually deficient. That is dumb? I'm not really sure. Lying. Playing dumb. Lying. Playing. Lying. Playing dumb or dumb? I don't have a third hand. Do you guys remember this one? Check this out. Can you provide a definition for the word woman? Can I provide a definition? No. Yeah, I can't.

B (55:28)

You can't?

A (55:31)

Not in this context. I'm not a biologist. Human, adult, female. Not hard. Dumb. Playing dumb. Third hand or lying? I don't know. Now do you get why with the framing, like, nobody's giving you a pass anymore in this digital ecosystem now with the two button problem, where not everything is cable news, People have podcasts, they have radio, they have Spotify, they have rumble, they have YouTube, Twitch, you have Kik, you have all these different platforms. People can go, they don't need to listen to your bullshit anymore. They don't need your scale in the hotel room. They have their own scale they bring with them. That's why I'm optimistic about the future. The ability to gaslight people and isolate people from the truth and Play stupid is over. Why do I bring up this Ketanji Brown Jackson thing? Because it happened again yesterday. We poke fun at our own people sometimes when we say something dumb. Everybody does. You know, every. You're on the air 20 plus hours a week. Eventually you're going to say something that turns out to be just stupid. You come back, you go, you know what flubbed it. Throw your shots. We get it. You know, the Democrats celebrate this stuff. Here is this guy. Was it Brendan Duke? He's a Biden. He was a Biden policy advisor. So this is like a big shot, some guy who apparently was advising the administration on stuff is very important. He's asked a simple question by Senator Bernie Moreno, a good Republican out there. There. He's asked a pretty simple question. You were like a policy advisor. Really important. Smart guy. You think it's illegal to enter the United States, like illegally? It's not a trick question, dude. I want you to listen to the answer. This is the Democrat Party lying or playing dumb? Check this out. Think it should be a crime to enter the country illegally? I don't.

B (57:23)

I, I don't know anything about this. I'm here to talk about budgets.

A (57:27)

You don't have to. Look, I'm not a lawyer. You have to be a lawyer. It's a simple question. Question. Should it be a crime. I'll say it slowly. Should it be a crime to enter the United States of America illegally?

B (57:39)

I don't.

A (57:41)

Do you have a home? Iran. Do you. Do you have a place that you sleep in? Yes.

B (57:47)

Correct.

A (57:47)

Okay. Is. Should it be a crime for people to enter your home without permission?

B (57:53)

Yes.

A (57:54)

You're pretty certain on that one? Yes. Okay. But you're not sure if it's okay to enter America without permission, which is our home, by the way. You don't know about America. Okay, gotcha. All right. So this is the best the Democrats can come up with. Mr. Chairman, I hope the ranking member can listen for just a second, if you don't mind. This is the best witnesses you've got a guy who can't distinguish whether it's okay to have people enter our country illegally. Of all the millions of people that you could have chosen to testify to My good. Let me finish. The best you have is a guy who has no idea what our immigration law is and isn't sure if somebody should enter the country legally. This is an amazing clip. Amazing for all the wrong freaking reasons. Because this is the status of the modern liberal, progressive Democrat Party. Lying or playing stupid all the time. What's a woman? I don't know. Is it illegal? And someone said. We said it in the chat. Someone just said I was. Senator Moreno slows it down. Do you think it's a crime for someone who entered the country legally? It's not hard, bro. Illegally, yes. That sounds like it's a crime. You know how I know that? Because you said illegally. This is not complicated. Goes back to my point. The scale for them doesn't work and it's not even reliably wrong. It's all over the freaking place, folks. Republicans. I can't say this enough. I'm going to talk to Sean Farish about this in about a little over 20 minutes. So he's my guest. Not my favorites. Listen to me, please. I am never going to tell you. The Republican Party and people running under the banner are going to solve all your problems. Human problems that are really complicated are level 10 problems where there's a shitty answer and a shittier one. Listen to me, folks. Everything in your life worth having is a trade off. You want a good job and success, you may have to trade off time with your family. That sucks. I love my family. I do too. But Dan, that sounds like a bad answer and a worse answer. You're correct. But what's the answer? I don't know. You got to figure it out on yourself. What do you mean you don't know? Exactly what I told you you have to figure out. In your life, is it more important to give your family a good home and financial stability and a job they can rely on? Or is it more important for you to spend more time here and sacrifice some of that stability? The answer may be different. I don't have that answer for you. That sounds like a really tough problem. It is. You notice how the Democrats never answer these questions on the tough problems they avoid the Level 10 questions. They avoid the Level 1 questions. What's a woman? A human? Adult female? I don't know. You're up for the Supreme Court. You have no idea what a woman is. Do you have any idea how many things you're going to be ruling on from your throne on the Supreme Court that involve women? Pregnancy issues, reproduction, human reproduction, birth control laws. Men don't take birth control with female birth control. They have their own mechanisms. Of course you have things. You don't do the same birth control mechanism on a man you do on a woman because the parts are different. I promise, if men took female birth control pills, it's not going to work. But how? I don't know what a Woman is. What do you mean? That's one of a thousand different issues that impact women and men differently. Republicans may not be the solution to all your problems, but the cause of all your problems are Democrats. And in an imperfect world of level 10 decisions. Shitty call, shittier call. This one's fairly obvious. This is a level zero. If this party's causing all my problems, and this one may be the solution, but may not, I want to get rid of the party that's causing my problems. I've always been a realist on this and it pisses some people off. And that's okay. That's okay. But the Democrats have a stupid smart person problem. Stupid smart people are the most dangerous people in the world. I'll give you a perfect example. This knucklehead who's running for president in California, Gavin Newsom. You hear this guy on stage. I read a piece about him yesterday, how he's evolved in his presentation. How if you go back and look at that infamous clip of him with Adam Carolla when he was the lieutenant governor. Adam Carolla on the podcast just ate Newsom's lunch. He was the LG at the time. He just looked like a buffoon. I was reading his piece yesterday how Newsom has gotten better at bullshitting people. That was the gist of the piece. I'm going to go through the whole thing and he has. I watched the debate with DeSantis. I thought DeSantis crushed him. However you come away with that, if you don't know a lot about politics and you think like, wow, California is really doing great. It's not by any sound metric, relative to other states of comparable size, even remotely comparable size like Florida. They're not doing great. They're not doing great. He is a stupid smart person. He is a person who. He pretends that he talks in like his elitist language and does a good presentation style. But he's really a moron cuz he doesn't know the limits of his own knowledge. Here's what I mean. The facts even matter anymore. To the left, the perfect example here, New York Post here, companies are moving out of California in droves. Yamaha is the latest one. They're headed to Georgia. These companies have one thing in common. The states they're moving to are red states from California. It's a blue state. Newsom, the facts, even liberals. How do you. When you see these stories about all of these companies getting up and leaving California, Washington, other liberal states to go to red states and conservative states, I don't understand, like how you reconcile that in your head when your scale is always wrong? Maybe throw out the scale. Here's another tweet I saw yesterday. There's this California Air Review Board. This is a comfortably smug good follow, he says, seems bad. Governor Newsom is presiding over perhaps the largest collapse of the oil industry, refinery operations and gas production in US history. And California. California, when you're paying like $72 a gallon, like, oh, man, Trump did it. Trump didn't do shit. You did it, Newsom. Basically shutting down the internal statewide traffic in petrochemicals. Here's a CBS article I saw Barry Weiss put up about massive levels of fraud out of California. Of course, this will be ignored everywhere else. Incredible investigation from CBS since she took over over there. Our reporters visited ground zero for hospice fraud. Los Angeles. One building had 89 registered hospices. Wow, that's a lot of folks dying in one spot. 89 registered hospices in this one place, folks. You're never going to be able to combat this fraud by chasing it after the fact. Never. We had that Minnesota case when I was there. I think we're up to over 100 arrests. There's just not enough. There's only effectively about 12,000 FBI agents. Factor out national security, CT, CI, VCAC squads. You probably have supervisors, people out on leave. You probably have less than a couple thousand people working specific white collar stuff at this point in the entire world. It's a global organization. You can't chase everyone. You need state support, city support and others. We shouldn't have to chase him, though. If this money would have never went out the door in Minnesota and California and elsewhere because lawmakers would get their head out of their ass, we wouldn't have this problem. Why do I bring this up? Because finally some good things are happening on that side. Scott Bessen, who's been kind of a quiet superhero in the President's Cabinet, the Treasury Secretary. I saw this yesterday where they're now going to be going after this on the preemptive side and the IRS side. They're going to be going after some of this just virulent, fucking festering fraud in the system. Because it's not all going to be done by chasing them down with handcuffs later. We just don't have the numbers to do it. Check this out. Civil enforcement is auditing financial institutions that facilitated the laundering of Minnesota funds in

B (66:44)

addition to helping support criminal and civil enforcement efforts.

A (66:50)

This is critical. They are now going to be going after the financial intermediaries who process these payments, saying, hey, man, how did you not know this is fraud. But again, just the stupid continues on the left where they're like, I don't see nothing, I don't hear nothing. The Sergeant Schultz, I love Newsom. He's got great hair gel, whatever. Well, what has he actually done? This is an example, again, what I'm talking about with. With stupid smart people. People who project like Newsom, in aura of intellectual superiority. You dumb Republicans and Trump supporters, you should be a lot like us. They say things so patently ridiculous that you hear them. And you've got to present prevent yourself from vomiting on the screen. This is Joy Reid, right? I always is Joy. Forget her for a second. She's talking to Wajahad Ali. Just an absolute tool on. If you follow this guy or you ever see some of his stuff on X, it's commentary. Speaks for itself. Perfect example of a stupid smart person. What he says about Pakistan. You're telling me people live in Pakistan and Karachi would rather live there than the United States of America. And you expect this is what passes insane commentary on the liberal level? No, no, I'm not kidding. Check this out.

B (68:09)

Other countries were laughing at him and laughing at us.

A (68:12)

I want to tell you all something about Pakistan. My parents are from Pakistan. It's a country with many challenges. My cousin came here from Pakistan, studied, went back.

B (68:19)

He was about to come to America.

A (68:21)

You know what he said? He goes, hey, man, I was about

B (68:24)

to buy a ticket to America, but things look really bad. I'm just gonna stick back in Karachi.

A (68:28)

When people in Pakistan are looking at

B (68:30)

us and they're like, taking pity.

A (68:31)

Yeah, Joy, okay, I don't know about this cat's cousin. Maybe that's true. Maybe he's a liberal lunatic like this guy. I don't know him. But that somebody says either when people in Pakistan. No, you're talking for your cousin. I can almost guarantee you if we were to open up, not suggesting we should do this, open up the portals of immigration, 90% of the country would leave to come here. The stupid smart people problem. Folks, listen to me. The world is too volatile right now. This last year was just such an eye opener. Sometimes I would come home on the weekends and I would be sitting upstairs with Paula. We got this small room upstairs. It's kind of dark, and you can chill and just whatever, watch a movie. Paula walked in not that long ago. She knows I used to do this. And I'd say, you know, sorry, I shouldn't be whispering. I would tell her, hey, man, you know, ignorance may be ignorant, but it's certainly bliss sometimes. I'm not kidding. There are some things, you know that you just don't want to know. But once they get tattooed in your brain, you can't unsee or unhear them. The world is way too dangerous of a place for stupid smart people like Newsom and these other morons to be in charge with a scale that doesn't work. I'll just focus on one little thing right now. I saw this tweet yesterday. Do you hear what happened over at Amazon? I saw this. This gentleman on Twitter report on it. So Amazon, according to this tweet, had. Did. Excuse me. Done some kind of an AI upgrade to their coding system. I think it was somewhere in China. Apparently the thing ran wild and they asked it to make a little fix, put up the tweet, and it wound up, like redoing the whole system or something like that, caused this big problem. And Amazon had this meeting, according to this guy, Lucas. I don't know, forgive me if I'm saying your name wrong. Amazon said, hey, Amazon's holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems, he notes. And they said, quote, the official framing is part of normal business, but there are a trend of incidents with high blast radius caused by AI assisted changes. What I'm getting at, folks, is we are at a point right now a very, very unique, and I hate that word because it's ironically overused. We are at a unique point in global history, not just American history, where technological changes from AI combined with quantum computing. We put up that chart. This is meant to be kind of a joke. It's not. Elon posted it yesterday that we are at the point right now where the geometric advancement in computer generated intelligence, AI and quantum computing abilities, that we are just probably moments away in the long chronological history of time from a spot where we may not be able to control this stuff if the stupid smart people don't get the right guardrails up. Folks, I worry about this every single day. It is the single biggest problem we have now, which is this powerful technology in the hands of a bunch of idiots who don't understand the perimeter of their own knowledge, letting it get in the hands of our enemy who could dominate us. I don't think people understand out there how perilous of a problem this is. You have a super intelligence on the horizon not far away, not far away that is going to look at us like we're like ants. Remember that story I told you about Lucy? You said Lucy run around in the yard all the time. And then one Day, a bird died in the yard, and I picked a bird up and you know when birds die, all kinds of germs and stuff threw the bird in the garbage. And Lucy used to run around the spot all the time. One day I see her upstairs. She goes over the spot with a bird that. And she's like, got her nose. And I was like, lucy screaming. And Lucy doesn't know. Lucy's like, I sniffed this spot a thousand times. Why are you yelling at me now? I can't explain to her a bird died there because she doesn't have the capacity. Folks, we're at the spot with computing power and AI where I'm not sure if the average viewer understands how powerful this is going to be. We don't have time to screw around. All right, let me take a quick break and then we'll get to our guess. You know what, before we do that, someone asked me in the chat earlier. I watch the chat sometimes. I comment, but I'm typically reading it before the show because I love the Bongino Army. You all showed up and Joe's had another guy today in the chat. Hey, it was in for the chat. Got to go to work. I'll watch later. Awesome. Love you guys. Mean the world to me. By the way, shirts for you if you want one. All America, all the time. Paula puts them together, but I saw Anita put it out in her tweet. The link@the bongino.com site. Someone asked me if I was going to play this video from Tennessee. What video from Tennessee? Sometimes we need a little timeline cleanse. So there was a veteran, one of our American heroes, who had passed and died in Tennessee and apparently had outlived his family, so didn't have any family to show up. And I guess the word got around that there was going to be a small ceremony for this veteran, but that not a lot of people could be there because he had outlived most of his family and friends. Well, this is what happened then. This is kind of one of those timeline cleanse moments. Thank you, sir, for your service. Those of you who may be listening on audio only, I strongly encourage you to check out that video. You don't have to watch it here. Just put Tennessee veteran. It's worth your time. That's why I told you the beginning of the show. Look at that chat blowing up with American flags. God bless you all. That's why I told you beginning of the show. You know, when you talk about our movement, you talk about liberty and freedom and things we've Stood for the United States, unique in human history. Unique. There's nothing like us. Talk about it with a smile. There's no place like this. There never has been. And I'm not going to let this whole place be hijacked by crazy lunatics. Man, that chat's blowing up. That is such a. That is just amazing to see. And to all those veterans out there watching the show today and active duty members as well, thank you so much for your service. Thank you so much. Guys and ladies out there are the best of the best. And that's a fact that is both valid and reliable. All right, I'm going to take a quick break and then we're going to have one of your favorites. I know you guys love Sean Farish. He's one of my favorites, too. He has his own show on Rumble called Ungovern. I also have a special announcement with Sean coming up at the end of the show. I think it's. Is this the first time we did that, the special announcement thing? It is, right? It is. It's pretty cool. I've never done it before. All right, so stay tuned and you'll see it. Hey, have you ever looked at your credit card statements lately? You work in 40, 50 hours a week just to buy groceries and gas, things you should be able to afford.

Welcoming back to the show one of my favorite guests and a good friend, Sean Farish. Obviously You've probably seen him in some of his Trump impersonations. President Trump himself has retweeted. Sean. Uncannily good, but a great content creator himself. Someone has some really good insight into the issues of the day. Sean, welcome back to the show. We really appreciate it.

B (77:58)

Thanks for having me, Dan. It's always great to join you. It's my favorite show in the space. It has been for eight plus years. So it's kind of dream come true to kind of be here with you. It's awesome.

A (78:08)

Well, I told you I wanted to have you back regularly. I'm a man of my word. He's the host of Ungoverned on LFA tv. You can check that out on Rumble. So go take a look, Sean. One of the things I wanted to address I hit earlier in the show is, man, if it was ever time for a divorce inside this party. And I'm using that term party loosely because I don't really believe a lot of these people are ours and we should claim them. I guess it's not infighting when people claim a whole set of different ideas, walk in our tent and try to, you know, kill the host. But it's time for a divorce. And here's why. There's a math problem here. We should be spending 80%, 80% of our time on issues and like 20% of our time on cleaning up the inside of the tent. 80% outside, 20% inside. There's always going to be internal problems. Any club, team, party, whatever. The problem now is some of these doomers are spending 80% of their time attacking within the 10th and then 20% of the time pretending they care about Democrats. We got freaking midterms to win. I'm not telling you like the Republicans are the answer to all your problems, but Democrats are the cause of all your problems. This is just annihilating the host. And it is way past time for a divorce.

B (79:23)

Well, 100%. And here's the problem with what, what we see. So these doomers, the black pillars, the whatever they want to be called, or however they call it, whatever they call themselves, whatever we want to call them, everyone knows who we're talking about, right? So it's. The problem is they'll come out, they'll start taking shots, right? They took a lot of shots at you. They've taken shots at me, you know, and they'll do it when maybe you're vulnerable or they'll do it on, on social media where they realize, you know, they can get a lot of clicks by Accusing somebody of being paid, right? I love this. They tell me that I'm paid by Dan. I'm paid by so many people. I have no idea. I wish one of those checks would come in the mail. It'll be great. You know, I said, guys, trust me. If I'm taking all this money from a foreign country, there would be signs, okay? I promise you. I'd have probably a few different hats, you know, a few new things. You probably would notice some signs. But they love to say that every time you have a slight disagreement on, on any issue, the, The. The automatic assumption is that all you're paid to take that, that, that position, and it's just. It's ridiculous. And then when you hit back and you. And you say, no, this is. This is crazy, and you're causing a problem, they go, stop attacking me. You know, what happened to free speech?

A (80:33)

It's.

B (80:33)

It's unbelievable. First of all, the First Amendment, they love to talk about the First Amendment. The First Amendment says congress shall make no law. It does not say content creators shall have no opinions. Right? So they have opinions. We have opinions. I have opinions about them, they have opinions about me. That's the way it goes. But the problem is, is that they're. They're. The way they act, the tantrums that they throw, the. The accusations that they sling. Oh, you're protecting pedophiles? Like, really? I don't remember ever doing that. You know, it's. It is unbelievable. And the damage online that they're doing is significant. You know, and it's not just maybe damage to the party as a whole. It is a distraction. We're spending time on things that we shouldn't be spending time on. But I think it's a bit of a demoralization campaign because when you have people who, you know, are on their favorite social media app for a long time reading these comments, if you don't have thick enough skin, you may start to believe some of these things about yourself and start to change who you are. And so that's why I always tell people to kind of look the Internet. There are real people on the Internet. I like to say the Internet's not real life because it's not a total representation of real life. Although there are real conversations that take place on these apps. But I like to say Delhi counter politics. Go to a supermarket and ask somebody at the deli counter what their opinion is about what, let's say Candace Owens just said. And they'll. They'll respond with, who is that? I just Want my turkey? And when you say that to these people, they're like, oh, well, she's got a bigger audience than you, and she very well might. But when we go to the deli counter, we are equals, okay? And so in the real world, I like to talk to real people in the real world. I mean, we. We're very involved here locally. My wife and I are going to start door knocking for a sheriff candidate this weekend. We're very excited about that. Obviously, that's a big position for us, having been swatted a year ago. So we want to make sure that we get our guy in. You know, it's one of these things where in the real world, it's totally different conversation than what you see on. On social media. A lot of that's influenced by people in other countries. And you're right about needing a divorce from these people. These folks, they, you know, they like, oh, this division MAGA is dead. And it's like, well, you're the ones who are causing it. And I can't unite with somebody who, if I don't fall 100% in lockstep with all of their opinions, some of them are disgusting, right then. Then I'm some sort of foreign agent. So there is no uniting with people like that. If they want to try and form their own thing online and have their little click, that's fine. But in the real world, nobody knows who they are. They're not actually very significant. And I think it's time to cast them aside and get down to business on our side, because we've proven that we can win. We've proven that we can reach new people. And I always say this, you know, if you want to fall by the wayside, no problem. We'll trade up. We'll upgrade at the position, and we will succeed without them. So they can either behave like rational human beings and be a part of this amazing movement that's taken shape over the last 10 years, or they can do their own thing and chase online clicks and money and clout. And I think they're taking option B, but that's on them.

A (83:48)

You know, Sean, we're talking to Sean Farish, host of Ungoverned. You can check that out on Rumble. You know, you would think some of these people would have learned from what happened to the left, how the left moved from the old dlc, Bill Clinton type. The era, big government is over party. That was his speech. Bill Clinton at the State of the Union. The old, you know, John F. Kennedy speech about marginal tax rates being Too high? Yes. I didn't say that wrong. You know, you had this type of Democrat, the old school blue dog, who had performed very well. I mean, Clinton, despite all his sexual escapades, Sean left office with close to a 60% approval rating. I'm not celebrating his presidency by any means. You had Hillary care and all those debacles. I'm just telling you, like, there's a model for success to kind of moderate the insanity. But what I find now is you get this small portion of people pretending to be ours, and they're replicating the model by trying to pull sane people into the insanosphere. You know, space aliens came over and killed this guy and this person's involved in a conspiracy with the Jews and all this other stuff. So it's like insanity. It's like cannibalism theory in reverse. But having said that, I do want to kind of give a point counterpoint. I think that there's a counterpoint here. You and I should both address as content creators to that. I said 80, 20, because it is helpful, I don't know, 15, 20% of the time to keep your own party in check too. I mean, you see it right now in your comments on the SAVE Act. You've been all over this. This is critically important to preserve the integrity of our elections. And let's put be honest, whereas the base of Republicans is there and wants this. Voter measures, voter integrity measures, voter id. Even a Democrat base wants it. You got people in D.C. who should be moving mountains for it, lawmakers, especially on the Senate side, and they just don't seem to be responding. So there is a role for this kind of point counterpoint where we keep our own party in check, too.

B (85:47)

Yeah, we have to keep our own party in check or else what are, you know, we don't actually have any. We the people have a job to play in this system. And I think unfortunately we hit this, like, level. Folks haven't cracked open it. And I don't mean to say this in a condescending way, it's just that the understanding of civics in the country is. It's, like, lacking. And I think that's an indictment on the education system. I always equate it to, like, a restaurant, right? When you go to a restaurant, they ask you how you want your steak cooked, you tell them, right, how you want your steak cooked. And if you answer with anything like, well done. No offense to the president, but, like, we can't be friends. You need to give me some red. I need some red.

A (86:27)

I Like how you made an exception for President Trump. He likes it well done with ketchup. Like, hey, man, he's earned his right to do that. You know, the presidential victories billions of dollars. You can get your steak like freaking shoe leather if you want, man. Well, he's not the type of person

B (86:42)

I want to get upset with me right now, considering what he's doing to the Mullers.

A (86:45)

Right.

B (86:45)

You know, know, you look at Dan,

A (86:46)

you look at the Supreme.

B (86:47)

They called him the Supreme Leader. I call him the supreme Loser. He's, he's, he died like a dog. We needed that. But I'm.

A (86:54)

My favorite line of his presidency was the like a dog, he died. It's the like a dog. I know he's got it. He's got to resurrect that one again for this one.

B (87:03)

I was listening to that on my way to work that day, and I almost crashed. I couldn't believe what I was listening to. Is the greatest press conference in history. And you could trust that with like Obama after or bin Laden. And it's just too, it was just great. But my point here, so with how government works, I always equate it to a restaurant. You tell your server, your servant, your waiter, your chef, whomever how you want your meal cooked. If we're not telling our representatives how we want our meal cooked, then you can't get upset when your meal comes out and it's cooked wrong. So we have to play a role in the system. They are public servants, but we have to be there to tell them that how we want to be served or else they could just play dumb. And. Well, I didn't hear from my constituents. I didn't hear from anybody. I thought they didn't want the SAVE act pass. Well, obviously that's not the case. You see social media, you see some of these folks. Scott Pressler is leading a charge now to hand write notes and send them to John Thune and post a picture on social media of your handwritten letters. So we have to play a bigger role in that process, too and tell our servants, our public servants, how we want to be served. And I think we're doing that. And sometimes when we do that, people look at that and go, oh, my gosh, you're attacking your own people. We're not attacking. We're literally saying, like, this is what we want and we want you to follow through. You're supposed to represent our best interests and you're not doing that. And it's obvious. And by the way, it's both parties have a horrible approval rating in Congress. So, like, both chambers of Congress, the House and the Senate are completely detached from the American people. Something's wrong there. And I think part of what would make that better is if we consistently play a bigger role in this process. A lot of unfortunately, what happened after 2024 was, you know, we celebrated winning the super bowl and then acted like, well, just because we won the super bowl last year means we're going to win again next year. And it's like, no, you got to remember at the beginning of every new season, the champion, the defending champion, has the same record as everybody else. So we got to get back to work and do that again. We've proven that it's possible we just copy and paste the same formula. So I think we could look inwards a little bit too, look in the mirror. And when we talk about cleaning up our own side, whether it's the bad actors online or maybe some of these squishes up in dc, we have to play a bigger and better and more consistent role in doing that. Because if we don't, unfortunately, we're part of the problem too. So I think, you know, we could, we could be part of the solution while addressing these problems as well.

A (89:35)

You know, Sean, you and I share a lot in common. Kind of grew up in blue states, so we're used to being in not only the minority, but in some cases the super minority, where the super majority just overwhelms us everywhere. You know, New York, Maryland, in my case, you're obviously very familiar with New York politics. I, I think we just see it differently. Like, you develop a different kind of, kind of internal grit because you're always just getting your political ass just handed to you every election. And you, there, there is no giving up because there's, you don't have a choice. Like, you've got to live there. You know, when I was young, my, you know, I lived with my parents. What are we gonna do? Move at 13? And these things are kind of forced down your throat. But you and I experienced also George Pataki up in New York. Well, I mean, let's be honest, it wasn't Ronald Reagan. However, three term Republican governor. Yes, folks, that's right. Three consecutive terms in New York. Rudy Giuliani, you know, two unbelievably successful terms. A Republican mayor in New York City. So you and I get it. Like, you know, when Donald Trump isn't on the ballot, there's been this kind of fate, accompli attitude, oh, we're going to lose no if you show up tautologically and get people to vote, you're going to win. And if we can do it in a blue state, there's no excuse for losing a swing state seat, you know, anywhere in like Tennessee where you are now or anywhere else. I mean, that's the kind of attitude we have to have where we're always, always punching back regardless because the other guy's still kicking your ass.

B (91:03)

That's right. And it's also not just showing up in November, but look at Texas, right? The primary is more important in many cases than the general because a lot of times I hear, what's the point of voting? It's a rhino. This person is just going to go to D.C. and not listen to me. Okay, well then be a part of candidate selection, right? Like this is all stuff that we can do and it's stuff that, you know, like I said, we're involved in a local sheriff's race right now here with an amazing guy and, you know, and we've gotten to know him. We had meetings with them. We're going to go door knocking. This is what you have to do. A lot of people, you know, I don't have time for that really. Like 30 minutes a couple times a week. Not, you know, you do 10, 10 and 10. We just go walk around your neighborhood, Just have some conversations.

A (91:46)

Just do your own neighborhood. Yeah, just do your own neighborhood. Do 10 houses in your neighborhood. If everyone did 10 houses and you know, we had what, 70,000 streamers yesterday. If they did 10 houses, you know, you're talking about a significant number of people who've been contacted and as you know, you're probably aware of, from marketing, you have to touch someone with an ad or a Palm card or something seven to 21 times before the message even registers, no less. If they're going to vote for you, you got to get out there and look people in the eye.

B (92:18)

That's right. Well, look, I always say this, you know, if face to face conversations didn't work, there'd be no door to door salesman. Why do I have a new roof? I got hail last year. We got nailed with this major hail. It was a huge hailstorm. I mean, it was insane. I kind of liked it because I love extreme weather. I'm weird that like that. But we needed a new roof. We had somebody knock on our door and you know, go up on the roof and they sold us on the job. We had insurance covered the whole nine. But if door to door sales didn't work, then there would be no, door to door salesman. And it wouldn't be as lucrative of a job as it is. I mean, you can make a lot of money in face to face sales. Like I said, we talked about it last time, I did a lot of face to face with DirecTV. It's the best way that I was able to sell the product was in front of people. So just apply that to other, you know, other things. Politics is essentially sales. You're selling your platform, you're selling yourself. And again, I hear the complaint all the time. Well, what's the point of voting for Republicans? They just go to Washington D.C. they sell us out anyway. Well, the first of all, the first point is handing power to Marxists is never the answer, right? So I see all these people, oh, I'm just going to vote Democrat to send the Republicans a message, okay? I mean, you're literally cutting off your nose to spite your face. Or you're just coming out of the closet and you're showing, you do the show, your estimate, you're showing everybody your ass. And I hate to be graphic, but it's unwiped. Like it's not pretty, okay? Like it's gross. So don't. But you're telling me, you're telling me that voting Democrat is the answer in what world? Right? You know what the answer is? Being involved in every step of the process. Going to your local Republican Party meetings, knowing when there's elections. We do this thing on my show on LFATv, first of every month, first show of every month. We say go on googoo. Google. The Google machine, the Google mayor. Eric Adams, a Google one time, it was hysterical. We say we go on Google first of every month and we type in, is there an election that I can vote in in? And then you put your zip code this month and you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever be unaware again. And it takes you two minutes to do that 12 times a year. That is 24 minutes over the course of a whole year. That's not even a full, you know, episode of Bugs Bunny or some sort of cartoon. Two minutes once a month, first of every month, find out if there's something to vote in. Go meet your candidates. It's not hard. It's just something that with everything else that, you know, life has for all of us, it kind of falls by the wayside. But that's why you wind up with some of these candidates that we get disappointed with in the future. Play a role in candidate selection, vote in your primaries, go to your meetings, form those networks of People in, in these neighborhoods. And I've seen it when I was on Long Island. The reason why we were able to flip school board seats, the reason why we were able to flip county executive seats that hadn't been Republican in years, district attorney seats that hadn't been Republican in years. The reason why Lee Zeldin came within six points the last time he ran for governor. Six points in New York, unheard of, is because so many people got out and in the real world, face to face, had these conversations and formed coalitions with each other. That's what we're supposed to do in this process. You always talk about being an activist first, and that's, to me, I always put that hat on and say, how can we take control of this situation? How can we play a bigger role? How can the people be involved? You know, they say the government is supposed to operate with the consent of the governed. Well, it's time for us to start giving our consent or pushing back on things that we don't want. So I always say, look in the mirror and let's play a bigger role in the process. We can do a little bit more, you know, and so can our representatives, but we've got to put the pressure on. And I think with the SAVE Act, I think you're starting to see that, you know, I think you're starting to see the Senate start to feel some of the heat. Hopefully they feel it enough and get this over the finish line.

A (96:01)

I hope so. And I'll tell you, Sean, we've known each other a long time. I always hesitate to discuss this, this get out and do stuff with regards to elections that you and I are addressing in this segment with this audience, because the 70, 80,000 people are watching live and another, I don't know, 5, 600,000 are going to watch on demand later. They're already doing it. So to them it's like, you know, hello, Captain Obvious. But what I say to those folks listening is, we're not addressing this at you. We're asking you to be vehicles. Like the show is to go pull in other people into the activist orbit. That's the 10, 10 and 10 rule. We're not saying you, you go, we know you're doing it. I know. I saw your tweet about the sheriff candidate the other day with a picture, and I thought, man, he really doesn't slow down, this guy. You got your job, you got your show, you got all this stuff going on. But we're asking you to go get your neighbor who may be on the fence about getting involved and just start them small. Forget 10, 10 and 10. Ask them 1, 1 and 1. Hey, maybe you got a cousin who's interested in politics as well. Hey, here's the website. Whatever. That's how I got people involved in politics. I had a neighbor in my neighborhood who couldn't have given a shit about politics. Now he's talking about running for office. There was a guy in Maryland who's a state delegate who got involved in politics because he hosted a fundraiser for me when I ran for Senate. He's like a three term state delegate now and a damn good conservative, this guy Bryan. So, you know, this stuff happens. That's what we're getting at with this. You made me think before, though. You know, you're quite funny, but you're also very insightful. You know Maniscalco, Sebastian Maniscalco, the comedian? He's hilarious. How like we're talking about knocking on doors for politics and sales. That segment he does about how, you know, everybody used to get excited when someone knocks on your door, and now someone knocks on your door, but he's hiding. Turn the lights out. Turn it. You ever see that segment? Turn it down. Like, hide. Everybody's like, jumping behind the couch. That's the world we live in today, of connectivity where everybody exists online. They're so afraid of real world interaction.

B (98:01)

Yeah, it's scary, right? It's like, what is this person doing at my door? It's like, it's all right. Just human being. Right? We can have this conversation. It's fine. I mean, I mean, I'd be a liar if I told you though, knocking doors for candidates. I haven't had a few doors slammed in my face. I laugh when that happens. I'm like, dang want to be bothered.

A (98:20)

I knocked on 5,500 doors myself in one congressional race. I was involved. It was when I ran for Maryland District 6. 1. I mean, I'd have one, at least one or two an hour. I had one where they let the dog, like, charge the door. And even though you see the door between you and the dog, your instincts kick in. And I almost fell off the freaking stairs. I mean, people, you know, people don't like that. But I always used to say to folks and activists and candidates, knocking on doors, if you give one empathetic statement to start, you can, and I learned this from trial and error. Show empathy with these people who don't want their privacy interrupted. It'll defuse 90% of the negativity. If you say, sir, I totally Understand that there's someone at your door you don't know. You were very hesitant to talk to me. I get it. I hate when people knock on my door. I'm just gonna make this super quick. If you've got a second. I'm Dan Bongino, I'm running for office. And then typically 90% of time it would diffuse the situation. You gotta, you have to show them that you actually care. I got one final question for you. You and I are in the digital space here. I addressed earlier in the show how technology for content delivery is changing. Not everything is cable news everymore anymore. It's a lot, it's a huge chunk of it. But everything's on demand now. That two button problem, we used to just turn on talk radio and Rush would be on now. You have to like go to an app, hit the app, hit play. You get this two button problem. The kids have it figured out. Some of us older folks like me, you know, it took us a while to get used to technology. But my point is in the future where everything is going to be some on demand delivery system and you're not just going to turn a channel on and someone's going to be there, your content better be really good. I think that's what's driving a lot of division, is people's need to be controversial rather than right. But I believe that's a short term model for success rather than long term success. Where people want truth, they don't want like up and down spikes. Ah, here's bullshit, here's no. They want the truth over time. That's what's going to be the model for success. We've been around 10 years doing that 100%.

I say a lot of these folks that, you know, we were alluding to at the beginning of this segment, you know, are essentially just shock jocks, right? So you're not tuning in to be enlightened, you're tuning in to hear what crazy thing is going to be said next. Like, oh well, I remember when the left called you crazy for saying masks don't work. And I'm like, yeah, well a little bit of a different situation, right? It's like trying to stop mosquitoes with a chain link fence. But in this case, when you hear these wild theories, every single Dan, everything is Israel. It rained outside, the ground is wet. It wasn't rain. Somebody from Israel dumped water on my front. That's, that's literally what they're saying. They're like, how do you know that didn't happen? And I'm like, because I watched on the radar when the rain came down. Well, how do you know the radar wasn't a psyop built by the Jews? And I'm like, all right, so you're just in that camp. Whatever. I'll never get through to you. These people are shocked. They're, they're, people watch this type of content, these, these wild, the doomer class because it's, I call it outrage addicts or enragement farming. That's what they're doing. They're making money off of getting you upset. And I don't like when people are, are manipulating, you know, friends of mine, viewers of mine, supporters of mine, supporters of yours, emotionally, it's, it's wrong. But sometimes it feels good to like, be mad about something, right? And they know that in this space, I think you're right. If you want staying power, you've got to give somebody something of value if you're going to provide them with a product. And eventually you're not going to make good on your promises. You're going to get turned off. Someone's going to turn you off. It's not going to last forever. So while that short term, instant gratification of, wow, look at all these views, all these likes you get that dopamine hit and it feels great. You, you got to know, like around the corner, your day of reckoning is coming and people are, at some point it's going to happen where they're going to really realize, you know, you're full of crap. And, and just like we said in the real world, where you may get a, you know, a door slammed in your face, which by the way, Dan, what you said yesterday, the only reason I'd ever slam a door on your face, if you ever say that Jar Jar Binks is less annoying than the Ewoks again, I'm gonna have a big problem.

A (102:11)

How did I know you were going, I don't like the Ewoks. Where I don't like going, I don't like the Ewoks.

B (102:16)

But Jar Jar is the worst Star wars character in the history of the movies. And your whole team will agree with

A (102:21)

me,

B (102:23)
