00:58:25
The FBI has released information on the threat of Chinese sleeper cells and cyber warfare, but could they be telling the truth? Should we believe them? In this episode, I'll discuss the situation surrounding this latest warning as well as the ongoing CA fires and the politics as to why the CA Dems are more worried about Trump.

My patriotsupply.com. all right, fellas, let's go. That's a good sign. The bell works. And now we're off. And so first, ladies and gentlemen, last week, just to show you again, you are not wasting your freaking time here, we ran this segment about how Donald Trump had called out California on their water usage in their efforts to protect a 3 inch fish called the smelt. And we accurately predicted yet again that within moments that it would come out that Donald Trump is a serial hater of fish. First, let's play the clip and let's show you how the batting average look at this. Like Tony Gwynn and Rod Carew. I'm not even a lefty. Is close to 1000. They weren't a thousand, but the closest you're going to get. Watch this. If you're asking what the. It's the smelt. It's this little fish he's talking about. And Justin just said it right. The media reports the following. Donald Trump hates fish. He really can't stand. He wants all the fish dead. Grouper, trout, all of them. Kill them damn fish. He's a Nazi homicidal fish holocaust guy. He wants fish dead. Sidekick, roundhouse, rear naked choke, triangle choke arm. Now we're at the jujitsu too. Not just karate man, Vox the next day. If you're curious. If this is the media imbecile of the day, it would be, but today he's. There's a bigger imbecile. Benji Jones from Vox with a V, not fox with an F. Left wing. Vox. Why does Trump hate this tiny fish so much? This. Yeah, it happened again, folks, in the chat. Do we not. All right, let's get to some serious stuff because this was the easiest prediction in the world that they were going to predict. Trump as a serial hater of fish, wants to wipe out all fish now. So I wake up this morning and I have to cover some serious stuff about the FBI. And I warned National Review about an hour ago. Come get your boy here, Johnny Fund. They didn't listen. I will wait for an update to this article. And just so you know, National Review, I'm not planning on suing you for this or anything like that. It's just you guys are just assholes. But this is obviously a lie and a made up story. But there's a point here, folks. It's. I know it's hard for many of you to believe. Well, maybe not you in my chat. You guys are smart. But there are some people who are maybe new to the show or some liberals who are tuning in to hear, you know, crazy Dan Bongino and how he's right all the time and they just don't believe it. I've tried to tell people for a long time that the media, both right wing, anti Trump lunatics and left wingers, I'm telling you, they make stuff up. I know this is hard for you to believe because you're like, wait, there's like defamation law and supposed to, supposed to be some kind of journalistic integrity and standards. When they write something, they're supposed to back it up with some data or some appropriate sourcing, double verified and checked. And if not, just say you're speculating. They don't do that. I'm telling you, they make stuff up. And it is not just the left. This is why I hate when people are Dan Bongino right wing. I'm right wing nothing. I am a conservatarian. When people on the right side of the aisle say dumb shit, I call them out too. I read this article someone sends to me this morning and they're like, wow, I didn't know you had this much power. Michael just said it to me too. He's like, dan, you're so powerful. You got Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz appointed and selected or selected for these positions in Trump's cabinet. I was like, I did. Holy shit. That's crazy. So he sends me this article by John Fund at National Review. If you guys have any integrity, including John Fund, I'll expect an apology and a revision. And I'm going to make an offer to John Fund at the end of this. Ok, thank you. Found my three National Review. Come get your boy Johnny Fun before I destroy him on my show at 11 clocks ticking. I have not seen an update. If you guys want to pull this article, I'd love to see it. The article is called Pete Hegseth is a Walking Dead Nominee. And it goes into how Susie Wiles, who is now Donald Trump's chief of staff, who I barely know, I've said I don't like or dislike. I don't know her, okay? I met her at a fundraiser. I paid to get it. I did not ask for any benefits. I want to support Donald Trump because I'm not a hypocrite. I said hello to her. She was very nice and kind to me. I have no beef with Susie Wiles at all. She is the. She ran a great campaign. They won. She's now the chief of staff. John Fun writes that Susie Whiles is now his incoming chief of staff helped pilot Trump do an electoral effort that was a model of discipline, but she made a mistake. Once the election was over, Fun notes she took a few days off. Within that week, Trump urged in Susie Wiles absence by such kitchen cabinet advisers as his son Don Jr. Tucker Carlson and radio talk show host Dan Bongino had chosen Matt Gaetz as his nominee for Attorney General and Fox News host Pete Hegseth as his nominate for nominee for Secretary of Defense. Ladies and gentlemen, John Fun is a fucking liar. He is making this story up. I had absolutely nothing to do with this whatsoever. Guys, all of you, right now, everybody listen up. Just take your headphones off, okay? When Pete Hegseth was chosen as Secretary of defense and I came in the next day, do you remember the story I told you? I'm sitting there, I was watching Fox News, I think it was Laura Ingraham show and I was as shocked as anyone else about Pete. Exactly. I had no idea about Pete Hegseth, Matt Gaetz. I had absolutely nothing at all to do with Matt Gaetz after Trump picked him. I support Donald Trump's picks. He knows something I don't. If he picked them, fine. Matt Gaetz didn't work out. This is a totally 100% made up story. So Bongino army, we are the most powerful talk show, radio show, digital broadcast, podcast anywhere out there, bar none. There isn't even a close second show. John Fund, what we're made of. Be cool, be respectful, but tweet to John Fund and NRO and here's the deal. You guys cool with this deal? By the way, they all said they'll take a cut in their salary to finance this. Wait, Justin's like, I didn't say that shit. I'll pay for it myself. This is a serious offer. This is not a joke to John Fund. I made the same offer to fill a bump at the Washington Post. He, he never collected his money. This is easy money. $100,000 in cash. I'm not kidding. I am as serious as a freaking heart attack in cash. I will even buy the suitcase you got to take care of with the irs, declare it as income. I don't care. I'm telling you, I will give you $100,000 in cash. I usually go, oh, we'll give it to a charity. You do what you want with it. I don't care. If you spend it, burn it, give it a charity. I will give you $100,000 in cash if you can prove to me or anyone else or provide a shred of evidence that I was involved in the selection of Matt Gates or Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Fence and Attorney General. Easiest money you'll ever make. This is right off the website. If they haven't changed it yet, they still. So this is right off the website right now. I will offer John fund $100,000 in cash. I am absolutely not kidding. Provide proof to me publicly and anyone else that I had something to do with this, quote, line right here. Within that week, urged in Susie while his absence by a kitchen cabinet that I was his adviser and I was involved in, quote, the choosing of Matt Gates and Pete Hegseth. Easy money, folks. National Review is lying to you. They published this. John Fund is lying to you. And, folks, there's a point here. The point here is that this is not about me. It's not about me. I'm willing to give the guy $100,000 if he can prove any of that is actually true. He made it up. The story is just fabricated because he's an angry, bitter piece of shit who just makes up stories because he doesn't like me or Tucker or Don junior. The point is, be careful who you trust. I'm your friend, right? I hope you're here watching. I hope you trust me. I'm willing to put my own money, and I am dead serious. Hundred. That's a lot of money. $100,000 in cash. I'll give it to him, no questions asked. If he can prove that's true, that I was involved in the choosing of either two people. You know how many conversations I had with the Trump team about picking Matt Gaetz or Pete Hegseth? That's not a heart. My wife does this when she comes home in the morning. Through the truck she goes. When she comes. That's not that. That's a zero. Zero. You know when I found out about this? When Fox News reported it. Folks, you cannot trust anyone. This leads to my next story, a more important story. It's about the collapse in the entirety of institutions we once trusted and the danger for our own personal security. When you can't trust people. People you should be able to trust, folks. The job of the media, the job of the FBI, and the job of the Pentagon. Why I do support Pete Hegseth now, by the way. I had nothing to do with his choosing the words right there. When you can't Trust these people, the media to report facts. How the hell are we all going to make collective decisions we need to make? If an imminent threat were to come in tomorrow to say Russia's getting ready to hyperbolic example, but one that maybe you'll, maybe you'll kind of nail home the gravity of what I'm discussing. When the credibility of institutions like the media, the Pentagon, the FBI collapses, right. What happens tomorrow? Say God forbid something breaks really bad in the Ukraine? Vladimir Putin war, right? And Putin says I'm getting ready to launch a nuke to take out the east coast, folks. Do you understand if it comes from the FBI, the woke Pentagon leadership and the media, that probably close to 30 to 40% of America is just not going to believe it. This is serious shit. This is just a minor story about me, but it goes to show you how anti Trump. I hate the TDS thing because it's over Trump Derangement syndrome, but it's like a prion, it's like a virus that infects these people's brains. And in their zeal to attack people they don't like, like me, they can't get their heads out of their own asses and realize that making stuff up makes nobody believe anything. Nobody would prepare. Russia is getting ready to launch a nuke. You know what everybody's going to say? Bullshit, Psyop. It could be real. Here's what I mean. This is the story I wanted to start with. I know it's hard to believe that they make stuff up. Really? Even for you? Probably. Come on. They don't just make it up. So this is just made up 61 minutes. Of course they added a minute to protect Kamala Harris. You know the show 61 minutes, the SIR network, I mean, Right. Good point. Talk about making things up. 61 Minutes aired an interview with disgraced, now soon to be former FBI director Chris Wray. Folks, I'm telling you not to ignore this. Here's the problem right now. This is when institutions fail. This problem Christopher Wray is about to talk about, about China infiltrating our infrastructure, I'm telling you is real. I have heard it from people, insiders who absolutely love this country, who way before Christopher Wray was in charge were telling me this is a problem, that China's infiltrated our infrastructure. They've stolen our data. I know they stole data because the OPM hack of all the government personnel records, my records were stolen. My Secret Service records. I got a note in the mail. Was the government going to steal their own records? This is real. The problem is the FBI's credibility is such shit that if they want to shut us off our infrastructure, our Internet, our water supply, no one's going to believe it because these people are full of shit. Check this out.
- [15:26]
Chris Wray
China's cyber program is by far and away the world's largest. Bigger than that of every major nation combined and has stolen more of Americans personal and corporate data than that of every nation big or small combined. But even beyond the cyber theft, there's another part of the Chinese cyber threat that I think has not gotten the attention publicly that it I think desperately deserves. And that is Chinese government's pre positioning on American civilian critical infrastructure to lie in wait on those networks to be in a position to wreak havoc and inflict real world harm at a time and place of their choosing.
- [16:13]
Dan Bongino
The Chinese have already insinuated malware into critical American infrastructure.
- [16:20]
Chris Wray
That's correct.
- [16:20]
Dan Bongino
Like what?
- [16:21]
Chris Wray
Things like water treatment plants. We're talking about transportation systems, we're talking about targeting of our energy sector, the electric grid, natural gas pipelines and recently we've seen targeting of our telecommunications system.
- [16:38]
Dan Bongino
Folks, this is real. Now here's the obvious problem. Number one is what I talked about when the credibility of institutions. Because like the FBI that lie to us all the time about everything. January six, the Fed involvement, the pipe bomber case, the attack on Moms for Liberty, the attack on pro lifers, the attack on parents who show up at school boards. The attack on people who wear MAGA hats, the January 6 debacle where the FBI spent countless millions of dollars in manpower hours on a bunch of grandmas walking inside open doors inside the Capitol telling us white supremacy is the biggest threat to humankind. Now all of a sudden this coward chump walks out of office and goes oh by the way, all that's bullshit. China could wipe out America tomorrow. The problem is it's real and this piece of garbage didn't do shit. He's the same guy who told us antifa was just an idea. The biggest threat is white supremacy. And now walking out a door, this coward. Coward? Yeah, I'm talking to you. A man of no human dignity at all. Now you walk out the door on left wing communist 61 minutes, the CER network and you tell us all oh by the way, China is the biggest threat. We were just kidding about that other stuff folks. Nobody's going to believe these people. There is a concept in economics you need to understand called opportunity cost. If you don't understand that, you'll never understand the dynamics of resource allocation. If you allocate the eight hours in an FBI's workday to going out getting grandma who walked in the door on January 6, he's not investigating the potentially hundreds of thousands of China connected intel agents and people around the world who were stealing data and infiltrating critical infrastructure. Don't give us your bullshit now that oh this is the most important threat, it's been the most important thread. This is what happens when you get losers in the anti trump national review ecosystem. Left wing Chuck Todd who I hear is leaving NBC, the FBI tracking down MAGA hat wearers, the Pentagon talking about woke ideology and white rage to Mark Milley. Nobody trusts anything anymore. People are full of shit. We have four years basically two and two before the midterms to clean this mess up or you're not going to have a country. Because folks, the Biden reign of destruction isn't even over yet. But Dan, it's only a week away. You haven't seen the end of this yet. I'll show you what I mean. Coming up next. Got to take a quick break folks. I'm telling you I'm going to do everything I can to establish a relationship backed on trust. I'm not going to lie to you here. We screw something up, we're going to tell you. We've done it before. The best thing you can do is come out. Remember I told you Christine Blasey Ford and think she would show up? She did. I had to come on the air say listen, we screwed that up. I really didn't think she was going to show up. I thought the story was crap. I still do. However showed up, we screw up, we're going to tell you. But I'll tell you man, outside of a couple of small errors, our batting average been a thousand on Spygate, The Hunter laptop, J6, the Fed involvement, the pipe bomber. I'm not going to let you down. More coming up next. Hey, a lot of us are trying to get our finances in order and start the year off right. There's some great news for homeowners.

You think the Biden reign of destruction is over, ladies and gentlemen, this guy's about to give a bunch of lying speeches about his foreign policy successes. Really? Which ones? The Afghanistan withdrawal, Your fantastic job in the Middle east preventing terror attacks. Your fantastic job preventing terror attacks here at home. I mean, what exactly is your success story anywhere around the world? Here's another one. Biden administration now announces sweeping deportation Shield for nearly 1 million immigrants. Folks, I told you, 1 million immigrants who invaded our country illegally are now protected from legal consequences. You have Biden now in the last few weeks, have you ever seen a presidency leave with such a record of mass destruction, shielding illegals from the consequences of their actions? None of that's going to happen to you. You think you're going to get a tax amnesty if you don't pay your taxes? Yeah, sure. Ocs, Outer Continental shelf drilling. It's going to destroy gas prices, a bunch of pardons for felons and really genuinely awful people. All the money getting flushed out the door with no accountability. The censorship regime, Biden doubling down on that. Folks, we're in this point right now. I read that article to you last week. Where we're living in this almost post Soviet Union glassnose period. When the old Soviet Union fell and in the early days of attempted reform that's now backtracked under Putin. But however, they did try early on, the media was allowed to report when the Soviet Union fell apart and collapsed and Russia had to consolidate its interests. The media was reporting on some of the atrocities that happened during the hardcore communist era. There was an interesting Wall Street Journal article last week comparing that the media freedom afterwards when they reported on what's happening now in the United States now that Biden is leaving office. You're seeing some, a very limited number but some media people starting to report on the atrocities that happen in the Biden years. Always, always, always measure the effectiveness of something that's happening by the response of your enemies. So I'm asking the media, are you going to start to cover now the full scope of the censorship that happened during the Biden and Obama years and the Trump years? By the way, not by the Trump administration but by external entities censoring Trump. Are you now going to start to put aside your fullest shit filter and cover the media censorship that happened? I want you to watch this video. Here is Biden last week. You may have missed this. With everything going on, he's in an absolute panic. Now that Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook meta that he has said they're not going to be fact checking anymore. I I'm holding on this. I'm going to see results. I'm no one deserves a round of applause until I see actual action. I'm watching the distribution of my page. They're claiming it's going to go up because I'm not going to be censored anymore. We'll see. I'll be watching. Always measure the response by your enemy's response. Here's Biden freaking out because they're no longer going to censor. They're saying they're no longer going to censor. Conservatives and liberals are full of shit. The Democrat party does not exist without censorship. Watch this. Another let's take a listen of walking.
- [24:35]
Joe Biden
Away from facts checking as well as not reporting anything having to do with discrimination regarding TPS I find to be just contrary to American justice. American the way we talk about one another. Telling the truth matters.
- [25:03]
Dan Bongino
Telling the truth matters. From the biggest lying sack of shit in presidential history. A guy who has lied about everything. I've had no business relationship with my son. Well, I've had some but I didn't mean well I met with him. This guy is a liar. 51 intelligence officials say it isn't the laptop. Donald Trump is a Russian asset. The biggest lying sack of shit in presidential history is saying telling the truth matters. This guy. OK, I see Hub is looking at the Hub S66 in the chat on the Facebook thing says hold, hold, hold, hold is right. Do not get emotional about the Facebook thing. I can't beg you, plead with you enough. Do not make it an emotional thing. If this platform is going to stop the bullshit then watch what happens. If they don't, we call them out. If they do, fantastic. Use it to go spread the MAGA message. Do not get Emotional about it. Biden's freaking out because the Democrat party cannot exist without gaslighting. What's gaslighting? Pop quiz for those in the chat. Lying, lying. Often lying confidently and isolating people from the truth. If you don't have those four things, you cannot gaslight people into believing. Masks work isolating people from the truth. In other words, censorship is a critical component. They cannot exist the Democrat party without gaslighting and isolating you from the truth. Because everything they tell you is a lie about taxes, health care, education, government spending, vaccines, masks, school choice, defense, woke policies, everything. Here's the clip that got a lot of attention. This is Mark Zuckerberg on Rogan last week. This is what they're talking about, folks. This was a full court media press by Facebook. They are out there right now. They're not hiding this. What they say is a pivot. Hubba66 is right. Everyone needs to hold. Do not get emotional. Let's watch and see what happens. Apply the bonino rule. However, Zuckerberg was. They were everywhere with this trying to put out this claim change in direction. We'll see what happens. But this was the clip that won nuclear. Check this out.
- [27:45]
Mark Zuckerberg
When they were trying to roll out the vaccine program and I'm generally like pretty pro rolling out vaccines. I think on balance the vaccines are more positive than negative. But I think that while they're trying to push that program, they also tried to censor anyone who is basically arguing against it. And they pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly were true.
- [28:13]
Dan Bongino
Right.
- [28:13]
Mark Zuckerberg
I mean, they basically pushed us and said, you know, anything that says that vaccines might have side effects you basically need to take down. And I was just like, we're not going to do that. Like, we're clearly not going to do that. I mean, that's. That, that, that is kind of inevitably true.
- [28:33]
Theo Von
They. Who's telling you to take down things? Yeah, it was, it was to talk about vaccine side effects.
- [28:38]
Mark Zuckerberg
It was people in the, in the Biden administration. I think it was. You know, I wasn't involved in those conversations directly.
- [28:47]
Dan Bongino
Everybody hold. Just hold. Let's see what they do and then we'll digest it, we'll regroup and we're not going to get emotional about it and do liberal bumper sticker emotions coexist tolerance. I want you to understand this. Everybody ready? Beam in. Horse blinkers on, man. Understand this. The Democrat Party is one big lie. Republicans are confident, solid, conservative, libertarian Republicans who aren't bullshit artists like John Fun, okay? Are absolutely confident that what they're telling you is an accurate representation of how human beings should govern themselves. Freedom and liberty matter in the economic space, the education space, or elsewhere. We are absolutely willing to go to the mat and defend it. The Democrats are not. That's why they are bedrocked in censorship. They would not exist without censorship. That's why the fire story in Los Angeles is so devastating. Because they've been able to hide the data on vaccines, hide the data on masks, hide the data on school choice. In other words, it's out there, but they're not going to publicize. You can't hide a freaking fire. One of America's most liberal places is burning to the ground. And there's no way for a government now that is claimed to solve all your problems. Give us your money. 50% of we're going to fix your problems. There's no way to hide the fact that they can't do shit. The emperor has no clothes. That's why this story is outside of the obvious. Human tragedy is so devastating to the liberal governing model. An update on that coming up in a second. Remember, opportunity costs. When you waste your time attacking Donald Trump and moms for liberty, you're not going after China infiltrating the grid. And you're certainly not doing fire prevention either. I'll show you what I mean. Coming up in a second. Everything's tied together, folks. I lost a lot of weight. I think you noticed that. You could see if you go look at my old videos. I was about 2:30, I think 238 at my max. I didn't like being heavy anymore. I was lifting. I was still doing my cardio but my joints got beat up so I needed to lose some weight. So Miles from Brick House said, hey, give this product a try. It's called Lean L E A N was created by a medical doctor and a university researcher. And folks, if you have a few pounds to lose, it's not for you. Diet can clean it up. If you have £10 or more, try Lean. I lost £30 on it. The results speak for themselves. You can see it.

Many hardworking Americans don't. The IRS stepped up enforcement if you owe back taxes or if unfiled returns. Don't wait for the IRS before you act. Waiting to get caught can make you look like a tax evader and it's probably not going to end well. So getting ahead of this is a smart move. But now don't contact the IRS alone. That's a mistake. Turn it over to Tax Network usa. Why? Because not all tax resolution companies are the same. Tax Network USA has a strong relationship with the irs. They have a preferred direct line to the irs.

Again, please understand this beam in. Look me straight in the eye. The Democrat Party is built entirely on a bedrock of lies covered up by the gaslighting media and the anti Trump right that they're both involved in the same effort. They would not exist. Here's why the story is so devastating. I want you to watch this first. This is a news report out of the west coast, out of California. The California legislature is watching the primary economic engine of its state, Los Angeles and this economic powerhouse which it is burned to the ground. And what are these left wing dipshits up to? Reinforcing their state for their anti Trump agenda moving forward. I wish I was kidding, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not. Watch this morning members.

Despite several empty seats in the chamber because of the L A wildfires, the Democratic State assembly gaveled into its special legislative session to prepare for incoming presidents President Donald Trump.
- [33:50]
Dan Bongino
I'd ask that you keep in mind.
- [33:52]
Robert Rivas
Governor Newsom called the special session shortly after the election. As fires raged in Southern California, state lawmakers still prioritize their anti Trump work. They established a committee and set a hearing for the legislation that sets aside $25 million to prepare for legal battles with the incoming administration.
- [34:11]
Adam Schiff
You know, I'm here to address this.
- [34:13]
Robert Rivas
Democratic Assembly Speaker Robert Revis didn't want to talk about it afterwards.
- [34:18]
Dan Bongino
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Here's more of California Democrat liberal communist Speaker Robert Reevis here. I'm actually shocked here. Here is a media person actually doing actual reporting, which is a stunning thing to see because you so rarely see it asking this dipshit of a human being, Robert Reevis. As you know, the economic engine of its state burns down and people lose everything. I saw a story this morning on cable of a 99 year old grandmother who had her entire house wiped out. And what's the $25 million going for suing Donald Trump, who's not even in office yet? Folks, I can't even tell you the depravity of the scum running the state of California. Here's a reporter asking this guy questions like, hey bro, you know, the state's kind of burning down right now. Maybe we should have some different priorities than a special session about Trump. Watch this dipshit. He can't even answer the question. Check this out.
- [35:13]
Adam Schiff
Take a couple of questions. I do have to jump on a call with that.
- [35:16]
Robert Rivas
I mean, with what you just ment mentioned and kicked off, here is now the right time to have a special legislative session on allocating money to fight Trump in a way that you could already do without a special legislative session.
- [35:28]
Adam Schiff
So I'm, you know, I'm here to address this. You know, these wildfires, this is a historic, a historic wildfire. This is a historic, this is a historic event. These wildfires, as I mentioned, are going to be quite possibly some of the worst wildfires and disasters in the state.
- [35:46]
Robert Rivas
But minutes ago, your natural history, while this wildfire is happening and while people are trying to understand what's going on and are worried about disaster relief, worried about the ability to get homeowners insurance, your chamber gaveled into a special legislative session to prepare for Donald Trump in a way that you are already able to do without a special legislative session. So again, is now the right time for that.
- [36:08]
Adam Schiff
So certainly our focus right now is. Speaker Ashley. At this moment, my colleagues and I, we are acting with great Urgency.
- [36:16]
Dan Bongino
Folks, I don't know this media person at all, but Justin brought up a good point. My guess is either she's been personally affected or someone she knows has. Or someone she knows knows. Someone who's had the tragic situation, like I did early in my life, of a house burning down where everything you ever had is destroyed and you won't even figure it out till later in life and you need something that burned when it becomes personal liberalism, the gaslighting is harder. You cannot isolate people from the truth and censor them from hearing about how masks don't do shit when their house is burning down. Understand? The governor and the liberal mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom, they have sold you on a vision, correct? Give us half of your money, the government can solve your problems and we will fix the big things for you. Ladies and gentlemen. Not only they can't do the little things, they can't do the big things. Santa Ana winds have been there forever. I was reading a story the other day about how in the mid-1500s, explorers first saw the bay in the areas over there and they called it the Bay of Smoke because lightning would strike and the Santa Ana winds would stir up wildfires. This has been happening forever. And the bullshit government, which is stolen your money has done jack squat except protect the smelt. Here's Adam Schiff, the newly elected senator. Here he is on tv. Now, he has done some hits talking about this fire, but he's got. He's the newly elected senator. This scumbag, this lying Russian collusion hoaxer, this piece of shit who looked in the television on the Tucker Carlson show on fox, looked in the camera and lied to America, saying he had evidence of collusion falsely. Here he is on tv. This guy should be only discussing his state burning to the ground. What's he worried about? Calling Donald Trump a convicted felon. That's who this piece of shit is. Check this out. And you know what I had been hoping is that the judge would sentence the President to whatever any other similarly situated felon would receive by way of sentence. Now, that did not happen. And it didn't happen for a reason that the judge properly articulated, which is this man, this now convicted felon, is going to be the President of the United States. Of course, this goes on forever. Him talking about convicted felon, Ladies and gentlemen, you shouldn't brace it. Donald Trump is a political prisoner. He has been for a long time. Just because he's not in jail doesn't mean he isn't a prisoner of the Mechanism of the state. He has been. And now we're going to dismantle it. What did I tell you on Friday? The goal is. Does anybody remember? It was three words. The goal moving forward. Don't ever forget. This is total personnel warfare. From this point on, total personnel warfare. Total. Everybody gets fired. You touched it, you sniffed it, you were anywhere near an anti Trump weaponized government conspiracy theory or you did nothing and sat by everyone gets fired. Total personnel warfare. Going forward, I love just John Fund. Maybe, who knows, maybe I can appoint people. He seems to think I have the power to appoint all these people. They haven't even contacted me about something I've offered. What do you. I'm the only guy in radio and podcasting telling you how little I know these people. Do I not everybody else is out there bragging. Look at me, man. Trump's my right hand guy. I'm the only one telling you he's not my right hand guy. I spoke to him maybe five or six times. We had dinner once in bed. Mr. He doesn't call me for shit, you know. Many times he's called me since the election. Take a guess, Justin. Any idea? It's a freaking zero. What about J.D. vance? He's definitely no zero. They don't need to call me. What do you call me for? I'm the only guy telling you the truth. John Fund seems to think me and him are on the phone every day strategizing. It's the reason I don't go to all this shit. You notice you don't see me at Mar a Lago, do you? Happy to go. I have been invited. I don't go. I want you to watch this segment too because it goes to show you how this media operation is so hell bent on censorship that this PBS reporter is now offended. Pbs, which gets government funds by the way. And I hope that changes under Donald Trump. This PBS reporter is upset that we've uncovered the truth and they lie. She's upset we believe Donald Trump over them, despite the fact that Donald Trump, whether it's about the smelt, the laptop, LA's water situation, CA's water situation, Russian collusion has been right about everything every single time. And she's upset we don't believe them anymore. Watch this.
- [41:31]
Robert Rivas
The President Elect's team ultimately revives, revises history whenever they want to. And they did it with January six and more people voted for him in 2024 than they did in 2020. So when you take all of these things that people see in front of their eyes, you know Trump supporters and voters who supported him ultimately believe him over even what we report and believe him over the fact.
- [41:56]
Dan Bongino
Revise the history of January 6th. Donald Trump didn't revise the history of January 6th.Donald Trump and his MAGA team of investigators uncovered the truth about it. No one denies what happened. You can watch the videos. However, you guys told us there was no federal involvement at all, did you not? There were no federal agents in the crowd. I'm telling you, that's bullshit. I've seen pictures of federal agents who've sent me pictures in the crowd working. They weren't there in their own time. You're upset. Why? Because people believed us. And watch when the pipe bomber story comes out and you find out it was an insider, then you'll find the PBS said, oh my gosh, you guys were right. Again, speaking of January 6th, folks, this tore up the Internet this weekend, too, about January 6th federal involvement, the pipe bomber. JD Vance came out this weekend, did an interview with Martha MacCallum on the Fox News Sunday show. It's his first interview. We would have loved to interview him. We haven't interviewed him yet. Whatever, man. I don't even care anymore about this stuff. I want them to get their voice out there. But here's Vance on the pardon process going forward, what they're going to do from January 6th. A lot of people were upset. Some people thought this was the right approach. You decide I'm here to give you the information accurately. You can hear it from his mouth. He's obviously talking to Donald Trump off at, check this, this out, January six pardons. President Trump says there's a process. Where is the line drawn on who will and wouldn't be considered for a pardon?
- [43:31]
J.D. Vance
I think it's very simple. Look, if you protested peacefully on January 6th and you've had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed violence on that day. Obviously you shouldn't be pardoned. And there's a little bit of a gray area there. But we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. And there are a lot of people, we think in the wake of January 6th who were prosecuted unfairly. We need to rectify that.
- [43:57]
Dan Bongino
I'm sorry, Shannon Bream, obviously, the weekend show, Martha has the weekday show. So thanks. In the chat I've been watching that some people objected to that. There was a back and forth between the Hodge twins and JD Vance on Twitter about it. Some of you will object to it. Some of you agree with it. I'm here to give you the information, ladies and gentlemen. You decide on what the proper approach is going forward. All I'm saying going forward is if Joe Biden can sit there and pardon convicted felons, I think we need to take a broad scope view of pardons on January 6th. We can't also deny a lot of stuff happened that day that shouldn't. But we should be able to get to the truth and speak the truth, truth to power on this because people have lied to us forever. Now, speaking of January 6th and the federal involvement in the crowd I'm telling you happened, I'll give you a fair assessment of what happened and what I think went down that day. And I have. But they are lying to you, Barry. Barry Loudermilk is a Republican congressman. He's been doing a really good job on this pipe bomber case. Now this is really important. He gave an interview this past week and they are pushing in the new Congress, which is now seated, they are pushing for full subpoena power going forward to investigate what happened with this pipe bomber case, which I'm telling you is an inside job. I have zero doubt anymore. They know the identity as person. They just don't want you to know. Subpoena power is important because it's not just about subpoenaing people within the FBI to say what the hell did you know about that pipe bomber and when did you know it? It's about the threat of subpoena. They then have to go and get lawyers. This is the process. Is punishment both ways, folks. Here's Loudermilk. An update on this. This is going to be really important and we need to watch this going forward. Check this out.
- [45:42]
Barry Loudermilk
The speaker publicly tweeted out last week that we will continue the investigation and it will be fully funded and that we're going to move it to a full committee level. So we're working with his office right now to get that squared away. What it's going to look like, I anticipate probably a select committee, but we'll see see what we we work out which is the best way forward.
- [46:04]
Dan Bongino
Would this include subpoenas of some individuals?
- [46:08]
Barry Loudermilk
Well, one of the requirements would be that we would have to have full subpoena authority, which is we didn't have that during this last investigation. It was all subject to the full committee. And so this would actually give us the ability to issue subpoenas directly, which I think opens the door to getting more information because it's the threat of subpoena that is actually more powerful than the subpoena itself.
- [46:34]
Dan Bongino
Folks, what Barry Loudermilk is saying is 100% accurate. Once the threat of subpoena, hey, you guys can testify. You're going to get a subpoena you can no longer ignore. They do not want to be embarrassed up on Capitol Hill. Oh, they don't care. Oh, believe me, they do. A lot of these guys, These mid level 4 GS 14 and 15 FBI agents, listen to me, as a guy who's been inside the government, they have no experience whatsoever under the spotlight. Listen to what I'm telling you. A lot of these guys have never even been interviewed by the media. You think they want to be on Fox and Oann and Newsmax with their entire neighborhood watching them on clips on the Laura Ingraham show, whatever, sitting there pleading the Fifth. Folks, they scared shitless right now about having to be forced under oath to tell the truth under penalty of perjury. Total personnel warfare. Going forward, it is the only way to fix this thing. Listen to me too. I am absolutely convinced, convinced with certainty, and there's not a lot I can say with certainty that if we would have lost this election, ladies and gentlemen, tyranny was right around the corner. Biden, by the way, is still convinced he would have won, which I find quite hilarious. Here's Biden last week given a presser again talking about how he thinks he would have beaten Trump. You want to talk about a delusional lunatic? You think this guy in the second term was in any way grounded in reality? You would have seen full blown hammer and sickle here in the United States with him or Kamala Harris. Watch this. You're successful.
- [48:07]
Joe Biden
I don't think so. I think I would have beaten Trump. Could have beaten Trump and I think that Kamala could have beaten Trump. Would have beaten Trump. It wasn't about. I thought it was important to unify the party folks.
- [48:25]
Dan Bongino
This guy is the biggest lying sack of shit to ever occupy the White House. Do you understand? If we would have lost to this guy or Kamala Harris, which I don't think would have happened, by the way, I think he's delusional. The poll numbers were even worse for Biden than they were for Harris. You would have been looking at hammer and sickle here in the United States. And in case you think this stuff isn't happening, it's happening in our hemisphere right here. You've got a situation. I don't cover a lot of foreign policy. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this but it's critical. You've got a situation brewing right now in Venezuela where you have a full blown commie tyrant in Maduro who just stole an election Democrat in the United States style and is basically claiming victory in an election no serious person thinks he lost. And he's now trying to imprison his political opponent, this Maria Karina Machado. Put that on VO up there. They took her into custody since let her go. But the streets eventually erupted and ladies and gentlemen, this is the kind of stuff you would have seen in the United States. More of this imprisoning of political opponents like you saw with Donald Trump right here, right now. This is happening in Venezuela right now as we speak. I know we don't cover a ton of foreign policy, but it's really critical you follow what's going on. Because listen, past is prologue right now. And we've seen this stuff over and over. You give people unchecked power. Democrat, media, Pentagon, FBI all align with the same socialist vision, which a lot of it's become between upper level people at that thing. And what did you get? What do you get? You get Lord Acton, like power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. I want you to watch this clip with Tucker Carlson. He did this interview a couple of weeks ago. It's a pretty good one. But he talks about how, something I've said often that it's an old adage, I did not invent it, but I'll put it out there because it's so true to the Democrats. This is a warning to you Republicans, the good ones, not the John Funds. You can vote yourself into socialism and tyranny. Matter of fact, it happens often past his prologue. But there's only one way out. You got to fight your way out because they will never give up power unless you get rid of them. And we were this close. Watch this clip with Tucker. You'll see what I mean.
- [50:33]
Chris Wray
How'd that happen? How did Hugo Chavez come to power? In a military coup? No, in an election. Because, you know, five or six families, classic kind of Latin economic structure, took control of the economy and didn't share the wealth. That's just true. I'm sorry. It happened in Cuba too. You get a fascist like Fidel Castro running the country. If you ignore it.
- [50:55]
Dan Bongino
Folks, when you ignore the will of people and you trample over them and you steal from them, like is happening right now with these raging wildfires, with the crime situation in Chicago, in New York, eventually it's going to get bad enough. Is it bad enough yet? You get Differing opinions. My friend Kurt Schlichter, I saw on Twitter, I believe it was him, seems to believe that none of this is going to make a difference. California is going to continue to vote blue, folks in the chat. Chime in, I'll give you my answer. I don't know. I don't know. All I can tell you is I lived in New York City and it had to get really, really, really bad before people change their voting behavior. But they did eventually. Think about it. You think it's bad now? There were close to 3,000 people, close to 3,000 people murdered in New York City when they finally voted in Rudy Giuliani. And then he won reelection in a landslide. 3,000 people. That's like Afghanistan, folks. It's. The per capita murder rate in New York is up there with like, the highest in the world back then. And finally they changed course. Are these wildfires, the crime situation around the country in big cities is going to change. Is it bad enough yet? My answer again, I'm being honest here and humble in my. I'm not trying to be a stupid, smart person. I'm trying to be a smart, smart person. I don't know. I don't know when it's bad enough, but I know we're getting there because we're seeing a change in voting patterns. I want to get to this, too, because this is important. It shows the change in vision moving forward. Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen, J.D. vance. Are BHAG guys. Big, hairy, audacious goals. Guys. I talk about it all the time. They tell you this in business school. Have a bhag. Have a big, hairy, audacious goal in your vision. You're a CEO, you're a corporate executive. You're running a small business. Have a big, visionary goal that people can. Can aspire to. You may get there, you may not. But it gives people a vision. It gives your company a vision. You know, it's not just FUFU stuff. Trump and Vance have that. They see big things for the United States. That's why this Greenland thing don't let people go. Oh, Greenland. He's getting lost. No, no. This is a big deal. It is a huge piece of land critical to our national defense, loaded with rare earth minerals and a group of people. If you believe the latest poll that would love to join the United States. I think it should be a territory, not a state. However, we need Greenland. It's a big goal. It's a visionary goal. It's an audacious goal. But here's J.D. vance, totally in line with the Trump agenda explaining exactly why we should be doing big things, not small things, because the United States deserves big things, because we've done big things for the world. Watch this deal with Greenland and the Panama Canal. Are we using or considering use of military force in any of those situations?
- [53:42]
J.D. Vance
Now, look, we don't have to use military force, Shane. And the thing that people always ignore is we already have troops in Greenland. Greenland is really important for America strategically. It has a lot of great natural resources. My friend Donald Trump Jr. Was there a couple days ago and you really told him they want to be empowered to develop. The people of Greenland want to be empowered to develop the resources there. We also need to make sure that Greenland is properly cared for from an American security perspective. And frankly, the current leadership, the Danish government, has not done a good enough job of securing Greenland. I think there actually is a real opportunity here for us to take leadership to protect America's security to ensure that those incredible natural resources are developed. And that's what Donald Trump is good at. He's good at making deals. And I think there's a deal to be made in Greenland.
- [54:29]
Dan Bongino
Okay, quick, folks. I think this is genius And I applaud J.D. vance for going on and doing what he always does, soundly articulating the MAGA vision for America. Yes, we are an expansionary country. We have a lot to offer. We've been paying to finance the world's policing and security forever. It's time the world paid us back. We need. Greenland should be a territory the people there should choose. Should we engage in a hostile military takeover of Greenland? No, I believe that would be a mistake. But JD is right. We already have a military presence in Greenland because they need us or they'd already be invaded by Russia or China who would love to take Greenland and set up a base right off our northeast. I want to leave you with this clip because it's totally unrelated to anything other than some Monday good news because it is a Monday. Hits you with a lot of heavy stuff today, including media bullshit and everything else. You know, I love Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I had to stop after cancer, had the port in my chest. Didn't want to have it ripped out, bleed to death or anything like that, but I loved it my entire life. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is grappling ground fighting, the art of using leverage on the ground. I'm fascinated by it. I recommend anyone who, as long as your doctor clears you to do it and you orthopedically can do it, to take it up there's nothing like the ability to learn to defend yourself. It is a pure meritocracy. But I'm telling you, I've seen this. Here's Joe Rogan on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Theo Vaughan or. I don't know who's with you, but talking about how guys and women who take Brazilian Jiu Jitsu all of a sudden become like, libertarians and free a big government. Because I'm telling you why. I've seen it in these schools myself. I've been in about 10 of them. It is a pure meritocracy. There is no socialism on a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu mat. Watch this. Check this out.
- [56:05]
Theo Von
By the way, I'll tell you for a fact, Mark Zuckerberg started doing Jiu Jitsu and nothing turns you into a libertarian like Jiu Jitsu.
- [56:12]
Dan Bongino
Really?
- [56:13]
Barry Loudermilk
Oh, yeah.
- [56:14]
Theo Von
Yeah. Nothing turns you into a person who, like, really values hard work and discipline and struggle like Jiu Jitsu.
- [56:23]
Dan Bongino
Huh?
- [56:23]
Theo Von
Because exposure of character on a level that, like, there's nothing, nothing else is like it.
- [56:30]
Dan Bongino
Wow.
- [56:30]
Chris Wray
I thought about that that much.
- [56:32]
Theo Von
Yeah. Because you expose character in a way that it's almost impossible even with other martial arts. Because with other martial arts, you can only spar so much, man.
- [56:40]
Barry Loudermilk
Believe me.
- [56:41]
Theo Von
Because I sparred too much. You spar a lot. You get hurt, and you get hurt eventually you get dinged up to the point where your brain is just not firing so well anymore.
- [56:51]
Dan Bongino
Listen, I'm not parenting your kids. That's your job. You know your kids far better than I do. Obviously. I'm just telling you, if you have the opportunity to get your kids in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu grappling wrestling class as early as you can. He is 100% correct. Everything you need to learn about yourself, I promise you, you will figure out the fastest on a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu mat when someone's kicking your ass. And it'll make a conservatarian out of you right quick. Absolutely. Promise you, Rogan is 100% spot on. Get your kids in there if you can take the classes yourself. Trust your boy.
