In this episode, I discuss Kash Patel's confirmation as the 9th Director of the FBI and what it means for the agency and for America. I also cover the unprecedented level of success patriots are experiencing just one month into Trump's presidency, and how the culture has massively shifted in a short amount of time.

Dan Bongino
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. You know, we had this long debate yesterday on the show and it spilled.
Tyler
Into the radio show and it's one of those great debates because it was never intended to happen.
Dan Bongino
Now I got guy doing the air squats too. Look at this, folks. If we're I do 10 air squats before every show gets the juices flowing. Now I got everybody doing it.
Tyler
If you do.
Dan Bongino
I watched this Dr. Rhonda feed on Twitter. Dr. Rhonda Patrick, she's really good with life hacks. She says if you get up every hour or so and do 10 air squats, assuming you have good knees and you can and everything, that over time it has a real substantive effect on your body.
Tyler
That sucker works, man.
Dan Bongino
Gets the juices flowing. Everything even got ghee into it.
Tyler
But do it works. It clears your brain right up. You don't have to do a ton of them, man. Just bang those suckers out. So the best shows sometimes are the most unintended.
Dan Bongino
And I did not yesterday intend at all to speak about this Karl Rove piece if we should slow the winning down or speed the winning up and take some victory laps. But it turned into this four hour debate. It was great.
Tyler
But now you're seeing why the rock.
Dan Bongino
Em sock em robots flood the zone.
Tyler
Keep the winning going at a rapid.
Dan Bongino
Pace, is working, folks. Just a few months ago we were told that, that, you know, if Trump.
Tyler
Wins, you know, he's going to have a really hard time in the Senate. There's going to be all of this Republican resistance to all his nominees. And yet what happened, folks? Matt Gaetz left himself.
Dan Bongino
He departed.
Tyler
That was it. Everything else has been, I mean, relatively smooth sailing hat tip to the Republican Senate for getting it done. I mean, you're always going to get.
Dan Bongino
Your Murkowski and Collins holdouts. It's to be expected. We've seen what they do.
Tyler
But, but we got cash through. So now you are going to see.
Dan Bongino
What real change is like.
Tyler
It's happening everywhere. It's happening so fast. It's like a celebratory moment that just never ends. It's like every morning you wake up and it's like, what are the, what's the thing? They have like Boxing Day right in.
Dan Bongino
In the uk Is that like five days after Christmas or whatever?
Tyler
I don't know.
Dan Bongino
I only celebrate Christmas, but it's like.
Tyler
Boxing Day every single day. It's like Christmas Day and it's buying in Boxing Day 2. And in boxing day. Now we're like, in Boxing Day, like, 32, 33.
Dan Bongino

Dan Bongino
The best bell of the week. Listen man, I'm only.
Tyler
I love doing this show.
Dan Bongino
It's not a real job. Tyler's got a real job.
Tyler
This is a fake job. This is fake. I just talk for a living. You all people look at his studio. Look, look at that. Look at the studio.
Dan Bongino
Who is that? Michael.
Tyler
Get him off the screen.
Dan Bongino
Michael's way too handsome.
Tyler
Makes us all look ugly.
Dan Bongino
Get him off the screen. Put someone else in there.
Tyler
Put me or guy in there.
Dan Bongino
Make up a Michael on this.
Tyler
Look at this guy. This guy like a look like a look like you know they're looking for a new James Bond. Everybody in the chat should, should we do Michael? Should Michael be in the running for James Bond? And he's like 7ft tall too. Look at. You got me. Look at this is why the audio.
Dan Bongino
Does almost as well as the video.
Tyler
People like.
Dan Bongino
I can't see Bongino anymore. I can't see it.
Tyler
You guys, I'm serious, man. You can't put him in the picture.
Dan Bongino
You see that studio is crazy though, isn't it? Wait till you guys see what it's going to look like.
Tyler
Hopefully.
Dan Bongino
Gee, what are we like a week.
Tyler
Or two away max?
Dan Bongino
We have to be because we if we don't get out of this studio soon, you don't even want to know what's going to happen. And this thing is totally falling apart.
Tyler
So Cash is back. Even CNN had a report on.
Dan Bongino
So.
Tyler
Claire Foreign and Morgan Rimmer from cnn.
Dan Bongino
How to write this piece.
Tyler
Imagine how much this hurt.
Dan Bongino
Senate confirms cash Patel as FBI's new director. This is the Kylo Ren. More theory of politics More or just.
Tyler
Keep it coming every day.
Dan Bongino
Folks, I want to. On a very serious note, thank you because the Republican Party did what they had to do. We're spreadsheets people. Correct. We do not get emotional when the Republican Party does bad things. We talk about the bad things and try to correct them to get them to be plus ones rather than minus ones.
Tyler
But when it's a plus one, you can't keep.
Dan Bongino
What do they settle stupidly? You know, you can't beat a dead horse. Well, you can, but the horse is dead.
Tyler
It doesn't make any sense, you know to constantly just when they do something. Good, good.
Dan Bongino
Thank you for getting Cash Patel through. And we didn't even need a tiebreaker. A tie breaking vote from. From Senator, excuse me, Vice President J.D. vance. We didn't even need it. So you guys did that.
Tyler
I will make no mistake, you guys.
Dan Bongino
And ladies out there in the Bongino army, in Bannon's army, Charlie Kirk's little.
Tyler
Army out there, we're all.
Dan Bongino
I didn't mean it that way, but we all kind of cross pollinate each other's shows. You guys did it out there. You guys got it done. And thank you very much.
Tyler
Folks.
Dan Bongino
Always. Always do what?
Tyler
Always measure the effectiveness. How folks in the chat, chime in.
Dan Bongino
It's your show to always measure the effectiveness of what you're doing. Why is Paula texting me during the show? Hold on.
Tyler
Oh, she sending me a picture of.
Dan Bongino
Me in the studio. She says, you're so cute and it's date night, too. Paula, you're very distracting right now. Tyler's like, what the hell did I get myself into sitting in on this show? He invited him to come up. I said, big mistake, Big mistake. When you're here, right? What are the rules? You're probably should put a sign in the door. You're part of the show no matter what. Always, every time.
Tyler
Always measure the effectiveness of what you did by the response, especially of your crazy opponents like Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who absolutely melted down. Like, melted down. Like you would put like one of those medals. And it just like you know, when it goes into like molten form like Terminator 2. Dude is losing it over Cash because they know we're finally going to get a good, solid, strong FBI again. And that's not what they want. That's not what they want.
Dan Bongino
They want a weaponized political outfit which is unacceptable. Check this out.
Cash Patel
Committee. What crimes it was that he was concerned about that caused him to plead the fifth. Cash Patel, mark my words, will cause evil in this building behind us. And Republicans who vote for him will rue that day.
Tyler
You will rue the day. Rue the day evil will happen. I love how they say that.
Dan Bongino
As if bad things have not happened in the building behind them for the last about eight years that need to be cleaned up. Folks, listen, I've known Cash Patel a long time. I can tell you with absolute certainty, and there are a few things in life you can speak about with absolute certainty. Even if you ask a bunch of kids if they want homework, you can't say with certainty one kid's not going.
Tyler
To go, I'll take some homework. I need to improve my math skills. Everybody's like, shut up and prove them at home on your own.
Dan Bongino
Take a Khan Academy class, whatever. I can tell you with certainty a Cash Patel is there for one reason. He is there to make the FBI great again. Folks, if we do not have a credible deterrent to spies in this country. Counterintelligence to terrorists that are planning plots here openly. Some coordination entity for both transnational and interstate crime. We're not going to have a country.
Tyler
Cash is committed to that and that.
Dan Bongino
Only if Sheldon Whitehouse or these other.
Tyler
Lunatics think he's gonna whatever, pay back the favor or some stupid line like that and target them, they're out of their minds. They're making that up to turn you. Please don't. He is there for one reason.
Dan Bongino
To clean this place up.
Tyler
He is a deadly serious guy and.
Dan Bongino
He'S got a mission in mind. And he's got bhags in his head.
Tyler
Big, hairy, audacious goals.
Dan Bongino
Here's Senator Chris Murphy.
Tyler
Another one. Just always gauge the effectiveness of this. But have you. Here, let me. Can I give you a kind of.
Dan Bongino
A counterexample before we play Chris Murphy?
Tyler
And by the way, I'm not suggesting.
Dan Bongino
At all that these people aren't good.
Tyler
But have you seen a similar reaction.
Dan Bongino
To the energy secretary?
Tyler
He's great.
Dan Bongino
He's fantastic.
Tyler
But I think they understand the Democrats.
Dan Bongino
That something's got to be done about energy. So they're just leaving it alone.
Tyler
They are terrified over. They've spent so much time on Cash Patel. It makes you ask the question, right?
Dan Bongino
Or begs the question. I hate that term.
Tyler
What the hell are they worried about? Why are they so concerned?
Dan Bongino
Check this out.
Tyler
You vote for Cash Patel more than.
Dan Bongino
Any other confirmation vote you make. You will come to regret this one to your grave. No, we won't.
Tyler
It's so.
Dan Bongino
Why are they so dramatic, too?
Tyler
You see the drama.
Dan Bongino
You will regret this to your grip.
Tyler
He thinks like he's in a movie or something.
Dan Bongino
Last night I was bored by the.
Tyler
Way I watched him.
Dan Bongino
You guys ever see that movie Sicario? I know. It's been out forever, kind of, right?
Tyler
I didn't. I never saw this movie before last night.
Dan Bongino
Paula absolutely loves. Is obsessed with mob movies and like, drug cartel movies and like, you know, crime movies and stuff like that.
Tyler
Do you guys in the chat ever see that?
Dan Bongino
A pretty good movie, man. I didn't sense a lot of, like, wokeness and I don't know. It's been out forever, but is there a sequel to that? But I watched it last night, but.
Tyler
This guy thinks he's in a movie. He thinks he's in, like Sicaria.
Dan Bongino
They're like, cut.
Tyler
You know, what's the board they called. Anybody know.
Dan Bongino
I'm not a video guy.
Tyler
What's the clapboard or somebody There go desert. They think they're in a movie you will regret. No, they won't regret it. They won't regret it.
Dan Bongino
They're on the record supporting him because.
Tyler
They know he's the change agent the FBI needs, folks.
Dan Bongino
How amazing would it be in four years to look back with a good, high quality reformed FBI free of woke culture and DEI that goes out and is making headline big arrests of real bad guys destroying your community. How great would that be? We can all sit there and be proud again.
Tyler
No one's regrets anything. And no one's going to regret anything.
Dan Bongino
You know. You know who's been on fire lately? This is. You know, we love Maze more by the way on X. If you don't follow him, follow. We got to share the wealth, folks. In the conservative MAGA ecosystem. It's really important. It's not about me, it's about all of us. I need you all to go to X today. Formerly Twitter. Follow Maze more. M A Z E M O O R E I I mentioned him before. I don't even know if it's a him or a her. Maze, you got to send me a dm. I keep saying him or her, I don't know, but really great account for video. Maze put this up yesterday. You know who is absolutely on fire with these nominees? I mean, this guy's success record is 100%. He's really. I've never seen a guy kick ass and take names like this.
Tyler
The success record is 100% of failing. He has succeeded 100% of the time and failed. That's freaking hard, man. That's hard.
Dan Bongino
Even a really terrible major league hitter.
Tyler
You know, like the guy, the pitcher.
Dan Bongino
The pitchers are never really good hitters because they don't practice.
Tyler
They'll be batting like 150. That means, you know, 150 times out.
Dan Bongino
Of a thousand they at least got a hit.
Tyler
This cat, Adam Schiff is killing it. He has succeeded in failing every single time. Here is Adam Schiff on all of.
Dan Bongino
The, quote, controversial Trump nominees. Check this out.
Adam Schiff
It is up to us today to, to say no. No to this nomination. No to Pam Bondi. RFK is not the best or the brightest. He will not bring back Camelot or make America healthy again. Tulsi Gabbard is a walking five alarm fire and must be rejected. Must be. No one is a bigger or more dangerous sycophant than Kash Patel. This political hack does not deserve to be in this building.
Tyler
Dudes on fire.
Dan Bongino
You know, I dig that Bailey Zimmerman music. A lot of pop culture references today for the show. I think it's because I'm in a particularly good mood today. That House on Fire song, it's one of his.
Tyler
Elsa, this guy's on fire. Just like the Bailey House on fire. He is on fire.
Dan Bongino
Chef.
Tyler
100% success rate of failing.
Dan Bongino
Why is Adam Schiff so worried? Folks, I strongly encourage you to go back and take another look today at the Russia collusion hoax. I know it's a story that's old and a lot of people want to move on. I'm going to be straight with you. I don't want to move on. We had the FBI, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, officials in Congress, foreign governments and intel people fabricate a.
Tyler
Story, invent a story that could have caused and done serious long term harm.
Dan Bongino
To international relations with a nuclear powered foe. Go.
Tyler
It's kind of a big freakin deal.
Dan Bongino
I'm not letting it go. And you listen to me. This is going to be very important in the coming days. I'm not letting this go. I want to find out what happened because it can never happen again.
Tyler
Not to a Democrat, not to a.
Dan Bongino
Republican, not to a Libertarian, not to.
Tyler
Any United States citizen. You do not get to alter or try to change the course of electoral politics by fabricating a story, hijacking the justice system then to give the patina of truth to a fake story. You don't get to do that. Why do I bring that up now? Because who is the ringmaster of that circus? Yes, Adam Schiff and no, I'm not letting it go. And you shouldn't either, folks. The system Adam Schiff and others used.
Dan Bongino
To weaponize that hijack the DOJ portions of the FBI and the global intelligence community to combat Donald Trump and his agenda.
Tyler
And the American people who voted for.
Dan Bongino
Him in 2016 was this FISA system, this Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act system, which.
Tyler
Needed some reform and still does. This is one of the reasons the.
Dan Bongino
Democrats are really freaked out.
Tyler
No one understands the system better than Cash. He's been in the government, he's been.
Dan Bongino
On the prosecutorial side. He has seen how our defense system.
Tyler
Works, our intelligence system, law enforcement system, system.
Dan Bongino
He has a broad kind of bird's.
Tyler
Eye view of how all these entities tie into each other. Why is that a bad thing? It's a bad thing for the Democrats. You understand how they thrive on the opaqueness of government. That's why they hate the Doge. They don't want a guy in there.
Dan Bongino
Who knows how the, you know, the.
Tyler
Gizmos fit together to make the machine work. Because then when the gizmo breaks and they broke it, he's going to be the guy to fix it. They don't want that. They don't want any of that. They like it when everything's a dark box.
Dan Bongino
Here was Cash on the Sean Ryan Show. Really excellent show, by the way. Highly recommended. Discussing a while ago FISA reforms and potential abuses of the system. Check this out.
Chris Wray
Chris Wray was caught last year illegally using 702 collection methods against Americans. 274,000 times. 274,000 times. It's not my number. It's in the report that they wrote. The FISA court wrote it and then the FISA court and there was this big fight about 702 reauthorization. I know it might not be appealing to your audience, but it was a big fight this year to say we want FISA reform. And FISA did need reform. We exposed it and we gave you a bunch of reforms during Russia Day and it never got implemented. So because the budget of FISA was up this cycle, we demanded Congress fix it. And do you know what the majority in the House where the Republicans did, they bent the knee, they re offed it.
Dan Bongino
Why?
Chris Wray
Why? I don't know. Ask them. And they said, oh, no, we're just doing it for another year. We're just gonna kick the can down the road. I'm like, okay, so the other year you're doing it for is an election year. We showed you how they abused FISA once already. And then now you know about Chris Wray and all these other FISA abuses. But you trust the director of the FBI, this guy Chris Wray, who went before you and said, no, no, don't worry, we fixed everything, we're good. And they gave him more spy powers. I can't answer that one. And I couldn't get on board with that legislative fix.
Dan Bongino
Folks, I want you to understand something. Pregnant pause was not intentional. I just want to give you a second because this is really important. People are policy within the government. People are policy. Words, constitutions, laws and regulations are meaningless if you don't swear to your oath and mean it.
Tyler
I mean, there are a thousand examples.
Dan Bongino
Of what I'm talking about.
Tyler
I am a constitutionalist. That matters to me no matter what. Even at my own expense, it matters to me. You have to follow the law. If we, if everybody just decides what.
Dan Bongino
Law, when to follow when.
Tyler
It's like the four way stop sign come on most people that you shouldn't, but they roll through those are the other guy will stop. That's not the way this is supposed to work. You have a director or someone else in charge of the FBI that loosely interprets search and seizure and the Constitution.
Dan Bongino
Your right to privacy.
Tyler
Then folks, the policy is meaningless. The person's interpreting it to mean something completely different. The Constitution is not a suggestion. Period. And the man in charge of now the FBI is the director. And damn that sounds good.
Dan Bongino
Director Patel. Thank you God. I don't use his name in vain.
Tyler
Believes in that document. Believes, yeah. It'd be easy to weaponize it and.
Dan Bongino
Target your political opponents.
Tyler
That's not what we do. That's not what we do. That's not what we'll ever do. That's not what this party stands for. The left wants to embrace old school socialist style weaponization of government. Then you own that cuz it ain't us. You can stick that on your damn bumper sticker because it ain't going on my car and it sure as hell.
Dan Bongino
Ain'T going on cash's either.
Tyler
Folks, the left has a real problem.
Dan Bongino
With civics these days. So on a lighter note, it is Friday. This may be. I'm gonna play in a second, take a quick break but I'm letting the guys you know we're trying to work in a more collaborative manner to do the show because these guys have great ideas and I feel bad so I don't like I kind of icing them out of the content. They've been putting together some really great stuff. We think alike. Anyways, doesn't really matter but I absolutely insisted this Stephen Miller has been putting on a clinic. The deputy chief of staff. Chief of staff from Trump. An absolute clinic on TV in the press room. Did you see him Schoolhouse Rock the press yesterday on civics. Stay tuned. This is probably guys, if this isn't in videos of the year at the end of the year I'll be deeply offended guy. Just so you know. Michael, take that down buddy. This has got to go in there.

But. So I was watching this movie last night. They said Sicario with Paul. It was very good about this drug trade and this whole thing going on. And there's a scene in the movie. I'm not ruining it for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's already old. But where the Punisher guy, I don't know, actors, names the guy who acts as the Punisher, John something. And he's choking this lady. He's trying to kill her. And he's mounted on top of her and choking her. What we call in jiu jitsu, the finger choke. You know, you've seen it. You're on top of ladies out there. Guys, too. That is the easiest choke in the world to get out of. And you have no idea how many people wind up either dying or getting assaulted or passing out because of it. Take a jujitsu class or a grappling class. Even if you take two or three of them and ask them.
Tyler
First day, can you show me how to get out of the finger choke?
Dan Bongino
Because I had to do a tutorial for Paula last night. I had to, because I'm like, you're never. You're not going out like that. Little weave under the arm, buckle them right down. You gotta learn how to get out of that stuff. Ladies, gents, it's really important. I just. Sorry. Just throwing that in there. You know how I like to throw life hacks in? That's one of them. Take a Brazilian jiu jitsu class. Seriously. Take the intro class. It's usually free. You'll learn in that first class. Say, how do we get out of the finger Choke. Okay, moving on.
Tyler
Stephen Miller going all time Schoolhouse Rock on the media. Now, keep in mind, when I tell you this, I mean the media in.
Dan Bongino
The press room knows how the presidency works.
Tyler
They're just playing dumb. They're pretending to not understand that Donald Trump is the unitary executive. He is the only figure, him and the Vice president on the ticket elected nationally. Correct.
Dan Bongino
Is the.
Tyler
For the lefties in the chat, is the Attorney General elected nationally? No. What about the FBI director? No. CIA? Nope, nope, nope. No, no, no one. Just Donald Trump and J.D.
Dan Bongino
Vance on the ticket.
Tyler
But when you are elected by the.
Dan Bongino
Electoral college nationally, you appoint people to implement your policy.
Tyler
Here's the media in the press room.
Dan Bongino
Pretending they don't know this, talking about.
Tyler
The Doge and Stephen Miller, an absolute.
Dan Bongino
Masterclass, kicking ass and taking names. Check this out. Here he is on how the executive works. This is great. Check this out.
Stephen Miller
A president is elected by the whole American people. He's the only official in the entire government that is elected by the entire nation. Right? Judges are appointed. Members of Congress are elected at the district or state level, which is one man. And the Constitution, Article 2 has a clause known as the vesting clause, and it says the executive power shall be vested in a president. Singular. The whole will of democracy is imbued into the elected president. That president then appoints staff to then impose that democratic will onto the government. The threat to democracy, indeed the existential threat to democracy, is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants who believe they answer to no one, who believe they can do whatever they want without consequence, who believe they can set their own agenda no matter what Americans vote for. So Americans vote for radical FBI reform. And FBI agents say they don't want to change. Or Americans vote for radical reform on our energy policies. But EPA bureaucrats say they don't want to change. Or Americans vote to end dei racist DEI policies, and lawyers at the Department of Justice say they don't want to change. What President Trump is doing is he is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders, which are the will of the whole American people.
Tyler
You see the. Do you see why this segment's important? Folks, forget the people in the press room, okay?
Dan Bongino
The liberal media people in the press room know what Stephen Miller's talking about. That's not why what he did there important.
Tyler
I promise you. There are liberals and maybe even swampy Republicans and others out there who've never heard that before. Who. You know. You know how I know this? Because when the media came out with.
Dan Bongino
Their first talking point against Elon and the Doge.
Tyler
And they said, no one elected Elon Musk. If you follow the news like we.
Dan Bongino
Do, I mean, it's my job. I don't know. I have a fake job. It's not a real job. The, you know, it's not.
Tyler
But I love politics. I will go to X and truth.
Dan Bongino
And these TikToks and Snapchats and I'll.
Tyler
See what people are talking about. I follow. I don't want to tell you because.
Dan Bongino
I don't want to block me, but.
Tyler
I follow liberal accounts. You can see them. They thought this was a great, great talking point because they're taking advantage of people on the left who are really ignorant of what Stephen Miller just said. You get what I'm saying? They were like, this is a good one. Tell him Elon's not elected. Nobody's elected in the executive branch except the President, Vice President. I mean, no one. Like, actually no one. The President runs the government just like the CEO runs a company. He appoints people and hires people to do stuff. The CEO isn't paying the taxes. He may have to sign off on it. But you think he's sitting there going.
Dan Bongino
What is the capitalized deduction rate on the depreciation schedule on the lifo fifo?
Tyler
He doing that, man, The President doesn't do everything. He appoints people. The President's the behead guy, the big, hairy, audacious goals guy. Liberals are praying. I'm sorry to say this, folks, especially the liberals.
Dan Bongino
Listen, my show, I know you're there.
Tyler
You troll my chat, which is fine. I mean it.
Dan Bongino
We're free speech people. Go right ahead. Just don't threaten anyone.
Tyler
They are taking advantage of liberal stupidity. Liberals, actually. Well, Elon Musk elected, so he can't do anything.
Dan Bongino
Even if. Even if the Doge people are government employees, he can't.
Tyler
How does the Secret Service protect the President?
Dan Bongino
I'm just giving you a personal example.
Tyler
You think the President's overseeing the security? Hey, we need a post stander here. I'm going to be button hooking around here. Remember when you were kids playing football? You draw on your fingers, right? Remember? You'd be like, Johnny Michaels. You ever do this, Johnny? You're going to go here, you're going to button hook Tony. You're going to hit the fly route in the end zone. You think the President's doing that in his protection? Because nobody can do anything without the President. That's what they're saying. The Secret Service Wasn't elected. Nobody's doing that. They're preying on your stupidity. That's why what Stephen Miller is doing is so important. This is like a government one on one class from the bully pulpit every single day where people like me get.
Dan Bongino
To go, hey, listen to this. Because there's, I promise, after all the.
Tyler
P1s out there, I'm sorry that I.
Dan Bongino
Have to play for you stuff that's fairly obvious.
Tyler
But it's important you take that message and send it to your liberal friends. And when they say, hey, Elon's not elected, take that cut. It's not mine, it's the White House's. Take that cut and say, Elon's not elected. Say, was Merrick Garland elected? What about Javier Bakaria here? Let me send you the Stephen Miller.
Dan Bongino
Clip about how our Constitution works.
Tyler
Thank you.
Dan Bongino
All right, clip coming up next is important, folks. Red pilling is happening everywhere. I was just Evita sitting here today too, and I said to Evita, Evita's.
Tyler
Rubbing off on me.
Dan Bongino
She knows a lot for, I mean like a ton of stuff. And she really, really understands the Breitbart rule that politics is downstream of culture. Like her show. That's why her show is taken off, because she covers it better than anyone because she's fought these fights, whether it was the vaccine at her college. I mean, Evita is 20 going on 80. And I don't mean looks, I mean, look, watch rumble.com Evita, she's just been through these fights before. Rumble.com Evita. Evita.
Tyler
So she's rubbing off on me because I see these stories on her show and I'm like, damn, I got to.
Dan Bongino
Cover more of this culture stuff. I'm so into the Mechanics of politics. 10, 10 and 10.
Tyler
So JD Vance spoke Vice President Vance.
Dan Bongino
At CPAC yesterday and this is really important what he said about this war on our young men. It is a disgrace what's happening and I want you to listen to it because it's an extremely important message that.
Tyler
I not tell you about.
Dan Bongino
J.D. vance.
Tyler
I'm sorry, I don't, I don't really. It's not self praise folks.
Dan Bongino
I just, please trust me.
Tyler
I'd known this guy, he is a freaking rock star. This guy is probably the best political candidate we've seen since a guy named Donald J. Trump.
Dan Bongino
You ever heard of him?
Tyler
Amazing. You ever notice he's never caught off guard? Ask him anything. Ask him anything. Ask him about how he feels about five prime, three prime DNA strands. And he's like, you Know what? Let me tell you, that's the one direction.
Dan Bongino
Watch this. Coming up next, last break and we'll get right back to it. Hey, when it comes to protecting your family, it's not just about having a firearm. Lethal force isn't the answer for every situation. Imagine an imminent threat comes to you and your family. Instinct may drive you to reach for a firearm immediately. But what if there were a way to defend yourself and de escalate a situation without the irreversible consequences of deadly force. Byrne is non lethal pistol launcher equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. No need to go def con one. We just need protection to ensure we can defuse the situation and drive the threat away. I train with firearms most of my adult life. The burner pistol they sent me I really enjoy. It was really easy to learn to use and operate. The guys have one too. If you don't own a firearm, it's a great option to have. It's a great option to have even if you do made in America, legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks and shipped right to your door.

Folks, one quick thing before I get back to that amazing JD Vance video. A little bit of blackout there. Blackout coffee. I. I cannot thank you enough for supporting this show. It means so much to me. It's going to make a lot more sense in the coming days as we launch more and more products on the show. I announced yesterday not only we have the studio opening up, not only is Evita's show congratulations. I didn't even mention this with Evita. Evita was the number 34 show on Triton.
Tyler
Do you know what that means? There's like 22 trillion podcasts.
Dan Bongino
Evita shows 34.
Tyler
She's hadn't even been doing it that long. She's talented, she's a rock star.
Dan Bongino
And you know what I love? She's a team player. She said to me yesterday, hey man, you want me to have Haley on the show? Who's Haley? If you missed yesterday's show, we're launching.
Tyler
A new show on this network, Haley Karenia. Please give her a follow on X.
Dan Bongino
There she is. She's at Haley.
Tyler
H A Y L E Y C.
Dan Bongino
A R O N I A at Haley Caronia. She says fiery, but mostly peaceful. You're going to love the show, I promise. We've known each other a long time. She was a producer at Fox and was a total rock star. It is going to be 6pm 6pm we will give you the rumble URL. We will, we promise. Anita, if you could put it up in the chat her social, give her a follow on Instagram as well. She's amazing. It's going to be at 6pm Eastern time. You're going to love this show. It's coming real fast, I promise. Really fast. Maybe by like next week or the week. We move at light speed now. So given the success of Evita's show, we now got a model. So thanks for supporting everything we do. I'm trying to give you a whole bunch of stuff to choose from.
Tyler
All right, Here is Vice President Vance.
Dan Bongino
At CPAC on a message on the war on boys. Folks, we cannot have this. The left has been doing this forever. They have been trying to destroy the idea of strong masculine men because it is a proxy for their war on traditional objective Big R, God given rights, values. They don't like that. They I'm getting along with it. Simple as this. They want your values coming from the state. They don't want your values from dad, they don't want husband and wife mutual respect. They want everybody weak and compliant. And the best way to do it is to destroy our boys. And it's a freaking disgrace. Listen to this.
J.D. Vance
And I think, you know, you asked me. My message to young men is I think that our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urgent. You should try to cast aside your family. You should try to suppress what makes you a young man in the first place. And I think that my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man, because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends, or because you're competitive. But our cultural message is, I think that it wants to turn everybody into, whether male or female, into androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same, and act the same. We actually think God made male and female for a purpose. And we want you guys to thrive as young men and as young women. And we're going to help with our public policy to make it possible to do that.
Dan Bongino
Mia, Leah Hunt says in the chat, this guy's top notch. Isabella is a better. I love masculine men.
Tyler
Hey, good. Listen, is this. Can we. Could Donald Trump have made a better choice? Could he have made a better choice than Vice President Vance? No, I'm serious. Can you throw someone out there you think would have been better? Now that you have a good data set, you've now got the entire campaign and election and over a month of him as vice president. I'm not telling you things can't break bad in the future. I'm just telling you, given the data set you have now, could he have made a better choice? Come on. The answer is clearly no. The vice president is a fantastic messenger. And Andrew Breitbart was absolutely correct when he said the politics are downstream of the culture. Folks. You can elect all the great politicians you want if it's the freaking Tower of Babel and the culture is broken and we're disrespecting our young boys. We're making our young women. I have two daughters. Feel insignificant, that they're victims all the time. Oh, look, these toxic patriarchal men are going to ruin your life. Really, I got two powerhouses right here. Evita's married to Michael. Michael works here. Guys. These guys are running the whole show. But these guys run this whole thing by themselves. She's now the 34 on this Triton top charts. It's a pairing. It's a pairing. It is a. It is an additive thing. You can't have weak men. They're trying to rot this culture out because they know then that the politics doesn't matter, that people are going to fill a hole and they want that hole to be filled with government. It's why they hate religion. There's a killer op ed, but I.
Dan Bongino
Think it's Barton Swain in the Wall Street Journal about exactly this from yesterday. How this, this, this liberal wrote this book about how religion was basically destroying our, our culture and politics. And now this same liberal is admitting that he was wrong, but he's admitting he was wrong for all the wrong reasons.
Tyler
The gist of the whole thing, to keep it simple, is that once you create that vacuum, you divorce people from God, bigger values, a higher cause. You divorce them from dad and the.
Dan Bongino
Brother and the sister, and you tell.
Tyler
Them the family don't matter and the patriarchy's always coming for you and you're a victim, bro. And everybody's hurting you all the time, and everybody's. And you're looking over your shoulder all the time. You're never going to live your freaking life, man. You're going to constantly be doing karate, man, defensive moves instead of taking the world by the freaking balls and going and doing big things. I just said to Tyler, we were talking before the show.
Dan Bongino
He's sitting in here, man. There it is.
Tyler
It's called It's All Evangelicals Fault Again by Barton Swain. Read it. A liberal atheist blames liberalism woes on religious Trump supporters. Read the article. It's worth your time. I just said to Tyler, man, listen, I got young kids, whenever we were at book signings, parents would come up.
Dan Bongino
To me and say, you got some.
Tyler
Advice for my kid? I'd say, I do. Big people do big things. Little people do little things, do big things. When you're constantly a victim and you believe this liberal bullshit, that everybody's coming for you all the time and you can't beat it, you will be defeated before you even started the game. Play the damn game. Play the game. Get in the game and give it your best effort. The worst thing that can happen is you come out at the end and you drop an L once in a while. It happens, and you dust off and you get back up and you play tomorrow's game even harder and you learn from your damn mistakes. I'm not your preacher, but big people do big things. Small people are victims. Small people are victims. You can manifest good things, folks and.
Dan Bongino
Good things will happen.
Tyler
God gave you a brain that thinks.
Dan Bongino
Positively for a reason.
Tyler
Use it. He gave you vision. Your dog doesn't have vision. I love my dog. Your dog doesn't think about being the king of all dogs. He doesn't even understand what that means. Do big things. You see this?
Dan Bongino
The red pilling of everyone's going on everywhere.
Tyler
You know what?
Dan Bongino
Gee, can we play the national anthem here? I know the game didn't turn out.
Tyler
Like we expected, but that's fine.
Dan Bongino
USA Hockey team put on a great effort.
Tyler
Lost in overtime to the Canadians. Good for you for getting in the damn game.
Dan Bongino
We're proud of you. We'll always be proud of you. Defended America and we love you.
Tyler
But showing you how the red pilling and the culture's changing and everybody's starting to understand that values don't come from government. Values come from something more important than that. Here was the national anthem.
Dan Bongino
We'll play a little bit of this at last. Tonight's game.
Tyler
You may not hear the actual singer.
Dan Bongino
Because everybody's singing with him. Check this out, you guys. Can I give you a little piece of life advice for the new fathers out there? When you're at home in your house and you're watching this on tv, this amazing moment, stand up, let your kids see. Take your hat off, put your hand on your heart. I know, I know in the Bongino army, a lot of you do that already. But when I'm in my house, it's not some show. It's not a virtue signal. I let my daughter, I tell my daughter every time, stand up heels together. I wish my elbow bent a little more. Unfortunately, it's a little below my heart. Put your hand on your heart, chin up. None of this whether it's when they do that. No, let your kids see it. Let your boys see it. Let your little girls see it. You see that national anthem on a college game, a pro game, a hockey game, I don't care what it is. An equestrian match. You snap those heels together, you stand up straight, get your gig line in order. Put your chin up, hand over your heart. And you don't move until that song is done. And let your kids see it. That's how we change the culture. We change the culture. The politics takes care of itself, I promise you. The politics takes care of itself, I promise you. And thank God we got a president proud of America again in the office. Did you hear his phone call yesterday? This guy loves. This guy will choke me out. Finger choked. He doesn't know I know the solution.
Tyler
For it, he will finger choke me.
Dan Bongino
If I don't put this in the show. Here's Donald Trump talking to the hockey team before the guy, I'm telling you, man, he is just on it all the time everywhere. He loves this country. Check this out.
Donald Trump
Well, I'll talk to the guys if they're around.
Cash Patel
Yeah, they are. I'm going to walk into the locker room right now and you can speak to the guys firsthand. Mr. President, can you hear me?
Donald Trump
I can. You guys are really talented. I have great respect for hockey players. I'm a hockey fan. I love hockey talent. The skill that you have is crazy. And just go out, have a good time tonight and I just want to wish you a lot of luck. You really are a skilled group of people. It's an honor to talk to you and get out there and there's no pressure whatsoever.
Cash Patel
I can tell you honestly, every person in here, players, staff, management, coaches, we are all proud Americans and we want to represent our country the best way we can and do our best to bring in a win tonight. Thank you again on behalf of everybody.
Donald Trump
You just go out and have a good time. You're going to win. And we love America. We love you guys. We'll be watching tonight. Bring it home.
Dan Bongino
Thank you, folks. You know, I worked in the White House, man. The president's time is valuable, really valuable. I'm not sure you even understand how. I mean, really valuable people would. If they could pay millions of dollars for sit downs with a president, they would.
Tyler
The president never misses a moment to.
Dan Bongino
Tell people representing the United States, athletes, whatever, academics, anyone, how much he cares about them when he's up there and talking to them.
Tyler
He loves this country.
Dan Bongino
And it's so evident if you just.
Tyler
Listen to the guy. And he is having this downstream effect that Andrew Breitbart had talked about over politics where it's okay to love America again. Not only is it okay to love America again, you can do it proudly and openly and you don't have to worry. I mean, I've heard that story after the election.
Dan Bongino
Who was it? Was it Dana Perino or someone saying.
Tyler
On Fox they were walking around Manhattan.
Dan Bongino
I saw people walking around MAGA hats for the first time.
Tyler
Like people were afraid. Nobody's afraid anymore. The red pilling is everywhere.
Dan Bongino
He's like, everywhere. He's like, what about Buddha?
Tyler
Judge Buddha. Judge him too. Guys like to the left of Lenin.
Dan Bongino
He says he's got evidence that even buttigieg. I'm not kidding, here's Buttigieg. A while back talking about equity and.
Tyler
Buses or something like that. I'm going to play that with this clip.
Dan Bongino
You're just going to hear from the.
Tyler
Other day where even Buttigieg is starting to realize that the Shat's doctrine.
Dan Bongino
You'll see what I mean in a second. May be the way to go. In other words, do really liberal stuff. But you better not talk about it like that anymore because the culture's changing. Check this segment out first. Meantime, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has not.
Tyler
Commented on on the near collision, though.
Dan Bongino
He did comment on Transit Equity Day.
Tyler
Which was happening at the very same.
Dan Bongino
Time the planes in Austin almost collided.
Tyler
Watch.
Jasmine Crockett
I love that image of the doors opening on the bus or the subway car representing doors opening in so many other areas of life if you can get to where you need to be in an equitable way.
Tyler
So in an equitable way, we got equitable buses.
Dan Bongino
You got to make sure the buses fit into your. Whatever LGBTQIA bio. PC2 +1A ideological identity politics.
Tyler
And you're like, what are you talking about? It's a freaking box with four tires, bro. What are you talking about? That is pre. Pre 2024 election.
Dan Bongino
Donald Trump.
Tyler
So Donald Trump gets elected. The culture is now rapidly changing, detoxifying itself of toxic masculinity and all this PC crap woke bullshit. Right? And I want you to listen to Pete Boot. Edge. Edge how he's talking now. And let me just tell you in.
Dan Bongino
Advance, he's not really red pilled. This is the Shat's doctrine. Hold that thought. Or as KJP calls him, the Shorts doctrine. Okay? They're starting to realize right now that the culture war is turning and turning rapidly. So listen to the way this really, really liberal guys. He's going to run for president 100% in the next election. Yeah, so do I. I hope so too. Him and Kamala Harris would be an amazing ticket. Amazing. Winky, winky, nod, nod. Listen to how he talks now. Check this out.
Jasmine Crockett
Cannot go on like that. We cannot. I also think that we believe in the values that we care about for a reason. And this is not about abandoning those values. It's about making sure we're in touch with the first principles that animate them. What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people's different experiences and making sure no one's mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for, or is it making people sit through a training that looks like something out of Portlandia, which I have also experienced and it is how. It is how Trump Republicans are made. If that comes to your workplace with the best of intentions, but doesn't actually get at what we're what actually matters here, what's actually at stake.
Tyler
Okay, this is the edutainment portion of the show at tip. BDP education plus entertainment.
Dan Bongino
That's what matters. Right There is this thing going around the Democrat Party. Write this down because you're going to see it everywhere. They're calling it the Schatz Doctrine after Brian Schatz, the senator who KJP called shorts. So we'll call it the Shorts Doctrine, right?
Tyler
The Shorts Doctrine is this. Do really crazy liberal stuff. Transgender sex, changes in the military, all.
Dan Bongino
This other like really woke far left crazy stuff, Right?
Tyler
Do it, but don't talk about it.
Dan Bongino
Like Portlandia, which is that that TV show about like liberal crazy. So I never watched it, but I assume because I had to look it.
Tyler
Up, that's the Shat's doctrine.
Dan Bongino
So I say this because I know what you're thinking. Why are we talking about elections? Because, folks, the midterms are right around the corner. No, they're not. Yeah, they are. They're less than two years away, which.
Tyler
In political, you know, reverse dog years.
Dan Bongino
Everything is like a factor of seven, not times seven. Right.
Tyler
It's right around the corner. You are going to see this in swing district everywhere outside of like say Jasmine Crockett's district, you know, a D plus 20 district. You're going to see Democrats talking like this now. Talking like moderate Democrats, even talking like.
Dan Bongino
Republicans in many cases.
Tyler
Listen to me, brothers and sisters, it's an act. Look it up. The Schatz doctrine, this Brian Schatz is telling everyone this. Just talk like a normal person, but still do crazy stuff. So for those of you out there still on the fence, who may have just tuned into my show, it's an act. The Republican agenda. And what we're doing is not an act. We're doing it. The Democrats you're hearing from, this is all, it's all an act. Don't fall for this here.
Dan Bongino
I'm going to jump ahead.
Tyler
Here's Jasmine Crockett.
Dan Bongino
This is what I mean.
Tyler
First, I'll put that interactive polls thing up.
Dan Bongino
I put this up yesterday.
Tyler
Democrats in Congress are now at an all time low in approval in Quinnipiac.
Dan Bongino
Which is not like some right wing polling outfit, OK?
Tyler
They're at 22% approval, nearly 70% disapproval. Now, why is that happening? Because they do crazy stuff. They're going to try to talk their.
Dan Bongino
Way out of this now.
Tyler
But the problem is they're still going to have people like Jasmine Crockett, Bernie Sanders, AOC and Elizabeth Warren to deal with who are out there still saying crazy stuff because her and AOC are doing what I call the show your ass theory. There is still money in crazy stuff and saying crazy stuff. So you're going to see more. You're going to. And by the way, you're going to see AOC in the squad start to object at all the airtime she's been getting. But Jasmine Crockett needs to keep it up.
Dan Bongino
There's the poll right there.
Tyler
Here's Jasmine Crockett on her take on government money, your tax dollars and, quote, handouts, maybe one of the most offensive.
Dan Bongino
Things you've heard in a long time.
Tyler
Keep this lady on tv, though.
Dan Bongino
She's great. For us, that is. Check this out.
Tyler
Now, President Trump says he likes the idea of giving some of the savings.
Chris Wray
From Doge back to Americans as kind of a dividend. Would you support that?
J
Listen, he's just telling a lie. He's not the one that had anything to do with the $1,200 refunds that people had during the midst of COVID That was done by Democratic House and Democratic Senate. Right now. What they're going to do is say, hey, we want to give you a refund, but Congress won't let us because they already know that there's just no money for that. The only reason that those refunds came before was because we were living in different times. This was a time in which hopefully we won't ever go through again. We had a once in a lifetime pandemic. The bad part is that I don't know if it's once in a lifetime because we know that Ebola, unfortunately, was detected right here in New York here recently. And if we continue down this road of getting rid of scientists or deciding that we don't want to rely on experts as it relates to what they're telling us to do, or we don't want to deal with vaccines and medicine in this country, then we may be facing not only our next pandemic, but our next two, three or four pandemics because of their incompetence. So, no, we are not in the business of giving out money. And honestly, I don't know what $5,000 will do for you. I'm sorry, we are not in the business of giving out money.
Tyler
Yes. Thank you. Play it again. Play it again.
Dan Bongino
Sorry. Everything's always back.
J
You're not in the Business of giving out money.
Tyler
We're not in the business of. Hold on. Just keep that, keep that on hold for a second. There's one other thing I want to address about this, and I'm really, I'm seriously begging the Democrats in order to hold on to your. Very valuable, to U.S. republicans, 22% approval.
Dan Bongino
Rating, which, which is great for us, terrible for you.
Tyler
You may say, well, what are the Republicans?
Dan Bongino
Well, they're 40%, which isn't great, but.
Tyler
It'S a whole lot better than 22 Republicans in Congress. And Donald Trump's is far ahead of both of those.
Dan Bongino
Right. Please keep this woman on tv. I'm begging you, I'm imploring you, please.
Tyler
She is the best messenger for the shots doctrine.
Dan Bongino
Absentee saying crazy stuff because she wants.
Tyler
To do crazy stuff. But she says it, too. She cites experts during COVID as an example of, like a model we should replicate. Do you realize the experts got everything wrong? Did you see that? Yale, Was it the Yale paper going around about spike protein elevations in people with, quote, long Covid? I encourage you to read it. It's pretty freaking scary stuff. If the robust, if the robust results, say, turn out to be robust and repeatable, it's really frightening. Some of you see it, this spike. You should look up the Yale researcher.
Dan Bongino
Report in the spike part.
Tyler
It's all over the news. I'm playing the Bongino rule to everything because unlike Jasmine Crockett, I actually believe in science. And the experts she keeps citing were wrong, folks, about almost everything. Masks didn't work. Vaccines didn't spread, didn't stop the spread of COVID Didn't even stop you from getting Covid. No, it did not come out of a pangolin who mated with a butterfly who got bit by a mosquito. None of that happened. Everything they told you was wrong. Droplets, aerosols, everything they got wrong, they got and they publicly bragged about it. And then she goes on to say, we're not in the business of giving you like it's their money. This is a woman with no life skills whatsoever, amazingly gets elected to Congress and is lecturing you. Hardworking Americans, black, white, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, it doesn't matter. They love identity politics. Lecturing you about we're not in the business of giving you your money back when we find overpayments and fraud.
Dan Bongino
Democrats, please keep this woman on tv. I'm serious. I'm not kidding. There is no better advocate for what you're going to do than this one.
Tyler
I know you're going to try to hide it. Shots Doctrine, us.
Dan Bongino
I get it.
Tyler
But now we're exposing the Shat's doctrine.
Dan Bongino
On the biggest live stream in conservative politics.
Jasmine Crockett
Things.
Tyler
It's all an act.
Dan Bongino
Everything she just said, Jasmine Crockett, is everything the Democrats think.
Tyler
Bank on it.
Dan Bongino
All right, folks, thank you so much. It's been an amazing week. Please get ready for the launch of our new show. It's going to be a nightly show, 6pm Eastern time with Haley Carania.

Host: Dan Bongino
Co-Host: Tyler
