But what is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets. The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped. You'd be justified in shooting the person. I'm not going to play the game, man. I'm not. Because I'm not a leftist asshole and I'm not a liberal media goon. If that was any Republican, forget Republican, any non Democrat, even an independent or even some like Fetterman type who's a Democrat but sometimes goes along with Republican issues. The left wing media would be going freaking wild. Congressman so and so calls for execution of said agents. I can't believe it. He should be fired immediately. Impeach him. Get him out of office. Censor everything. But Nadler unquestionably used careless bullshit language that's going to stir up more rage. And you see nothing. This is framing. Isolate people from the truth. It's only the right that has to answer for their language. Oh, dude, do you guys. These Guys, I've been here three days. They're ready taking it. Hey, can you turn the AC down? A little hot there. Look at him. Come on. You see the waddle? What is going on there? If that. I don't know if he needed one of his wipes or white getting off the steel. That's good. I'm glad you guys. Like I said, only been here three days. These guys already taking the show into their own hand. All right, back to the serious stuff. Now they're going close up. All right, enjoy. Have fun. All right, I'll sit here and wait you guys out. Finish my. My blackout. One more left. I put a little pull protein. All right. We don't need the extreme close up. The audio people on Apple are like, what the hell's going on in Spotify are like, all right, you don't understand. Like they played the video. Guy enjoys that video with Justin. Justin's in a laughing his ass off. It's good we got it. The while this framing and isolating people from the truth, where you allow people like Nadler to talk like this, where some lunatic could take that as a license to go shoot an ICE person. And like I said, I don't believe that's what he meant, but it's still careless. This one's even worse. This is Delia Ramirez. I want you to listen to the way she tries to dehumanize Steve Miller, Kristi Noem and Tom Holman of the Trump administration, key figures in this deportation, border security effort. Right? I want you. These people are totally mocking, laughing and dehumanizing these people. And I don't think they care if anything happens to them at all. This is really horrible. Check this out. We must have accountability and we must bring justice to every fascist in the administration. And that it can includes Krissy. No, that includes Stephen Miller and that includes Tom Holman. ICE will be abolished. VHS will be dismantled. And together we will get it done. So they're back. They're back to defunding the police again. This is. You have never seen a group of people kick them out, kick themselves in the nuts like these two. It's the knee joint doesn't even work like that. Liberal knee joints working like a three hand. They kick themselves in the balls. It's like a shoulder joint rather than a hinge. I've never seen people kick themselves in the balls without a cup on like liberals do. How. How well did this defund the police? They work for you. Donald Trump swept. He had that counties number like thousands of counties more Than the. He won a massive electoral college landslide, won the popular vote. You know, we run the Senate, we run the House. How many times are you going to kick your own self in the balls before you realize that men's penises in the women's locker room and defunding the police is a loser? It is a. And they're right back to it again because they fall for the current thing. Don't be a current thinger. I'm telling you, there's a short term sugar high out of it. I'm sure this Delia Ramirez was sitting there trying to dehumanize, dehumanize home. Miller, Homan, excuse me, Noem and Miller. And if something bad happens to them, that could be part of it. It could inspire some lunatic to go out and do something. Doesn't care. You know why people in the crowd are like, yeah, that's great. Go for it, Delia. You're our hero. Give him a little heart pound, whatever. Long term, what happens? The Republicans took back the Senate, the House and Donald Trump kick your ass again. They're right back to the defund the police nonsense. You want to defund ice, dhs, cbp? Is that what you want? You want illegals just randomly crossing the border again? Do you understand how freaking crazy that is? And this is the kind of stuff that goes on on cnn. You got that clip of that old NFL guy guy I sent before? Folks, this is how they isolate people from the truth. I promise. Like, I've done a lot of work with Fox News over the years and in other outlets as both my show and you better back up what you're going to say on there. If you're going to call someone a freaking Nazi or a fascist, no one's going to like tell you what to say or not to say, but you better damn well back it up with some evidence. Have you written about Nazi writings? Have you engaged in anything? Donald. Donald Trump's. I love how like, Donald Trump's a fascist in Minnesota. You got one side saying, man, he, he backed off a little bit. He's letting kind of the steam cool off and he's going to go back in later and then you get the other side, oh, the guy's a fascist. Which one is it, dipshits? Is he either cutting a deal and being reasonable to get his end goal and come back for the other 20% later when he got his 80 or is he a fascist who took 100%? Sorry, I get a little worked up about this because you. So the messaging is just so stupid. You see? You'll see the same media assholes do that taco thing. Trump always chickens out. And then in the next sentence like. But he's definitely a fascist who never chickens out and does the right and does. Does the far right thing all the. Which one is it? This is the reason you see crazy stuff like this in rage. Here's a former NFL guy. I don't know, he's a punter or whatever. Here he is on CNN again with the Nazi comparisons. I mean, do you realize you guys have tried this since he came down the escalator before he became 45. You've tried defund the police. You've tried that. Trump is trying to be a king. Trump is a fascist. Trump is a Nazi. Are you ever going to let this go? Check this out. I believe we're on the path that Nazi Germany went down under Hitler. And I say that as a political science and history major, as someone who has studied history, and the parallels are very, very clear. This administration is trying to erase trans people. This administration is trying to put obedience over duty to the country. This administration is trying to. Trying to thrust our country into turmoil in order to reap power for themselves. Okay, one, I've never heard of you. I don't really follow the NFL that much, so it doesn't really matter. What a total dipshit. He's plunged the world. Did he say. Into turmoil. There have been, like, peace deals breaking out. Oh, my gosh. Total. He came into office trying to clean up the Ukraine, Russia mess that happened under your guy. Dementia ridden Joe Biden. What are you talking about? I see remnants of Nazi Germany. Producer Jim. I took a history lesson in school. Oh, great. What exactly? Remnants? What rights? Did you hear the other part of the clip, too? He's trying to erase trans people. What do you mean? Like, there's exterminations going on. What the are you talking about? Tell me one constitutional right trans people don't have in the country. Go. Okay, thank you. Zero. And then you wonder why lefties go crazy and start attacking our icbp, federal agents and cops. Because they believe this stuff, these lefties. Because, like, this guy, Chris whatever his name is on cnn, former NFL guy. I took a history class once in college. You're a moron. No one ever challenges them. You think the host would be like, well, what rights have been erased? I'm not judging you or anything, Chris. Barely. If even if you're a lefty unseen, just tell me. Like, he would be like, hold on, I got to go Kick a football, dumbass. So tired, these people. I'm so glad I'm back. Like to be able to bring everyone back from the abyss of crazy. Listen, I'm not the only host out there. A lot of great shows. And I really appreciate all my colleagues in the business, you know, Ben Clay and Buck, Sean, Mark Glenn, all of them. And I'm really happy to be back and it's an honor to be here. Another hundred and nine thousand, you know, every day, Jim, the Doomers are like, it's no one's. No one's gonna be there.

Keep coming back, Keep coming back because I respect you guys. I'm always gonna tell you the truth. All right, quick break. And I want to talk about this Don Lemon story, but not just from the superficial, like, Don Lemon sucks thing, which is obvious. That's not like, you know, breaking news. I got a long history with Don Lemon, by the way. It was my last CNN hit ever was me fighting with Don Lemon over the second Amendment. I didn't even have facial hair. I think I had long hair back then too. But I want to cover it from. Again, the framing side. There's a key component of this Don Lemon story that the left wing media is not telling you they're framing. It is an attack on free speech. But they're leaving something very important out that there is another bill of Rights, enshrined civil liberty in there that was attacked as well. They leave that part out completely. You'll see what I mean coming up in a second, folks. I use my car a ton between work and at the studio, visiting family, weekend trips, you know the deal. I'm on the road a lot.

The best of the best of course is on at 8am Eastern time. Rumble.com. vince. Always appreciate the work they do as well. Okay, we're talking about framing and gaslighting. Because, folks, our institutions are broken. Listen to me. Your buddy Dan totally understands and embraces and respects and values everything you guys say, the lovers, the haters, outside of, like, the morons, but who really get crazy. But really, I'm open to all of it. I was a public servant. Criticisms matter, too. I digest it and take it all in. Some warranted, some you just don't know. But that's okay. I mean, I say you just don't know. Because some things we can't really talk about. However, I get that. One of the things, though we do is I take it in and digest it and I try to give you a full picture of what's going on. And I'm never going to bullshit you, I promise. I am extremely proud of the work we've done over the last 10 years. Whether it's running for office, whether it's the show, the TV show, the books, the FBI stint over the past year. And I work here. But I'm never getting. I'm never going to fail to give you both sides of the story. So, Don Lemonade. Yes. Don Lemon is technically a journalist. Okay. Is he tell the truth a lot? My humble opinion, I think he's. He's kind of a BSR when it comes to how he frames stories. But we can't just say, you know, you're a journalist if you're on our side. But there's a problem with this case. They have framed this as this is attack on journalism. Arresting Don Lemon for going into a church with these groups of people who. Who harassed a bunch of congregants in the church. This is an attack. The media people don't want to tell you anything about the other side. And that's how you get moments like this. Don Lemon was at. What was this? Some dinner he was at. He's at a dinner. And again, there's no one even remotely critical role. They introduced Don Lemon. And check this out. A bunch of Hollywood times like, ah, Don Lemon's here. Can we get your autograph? Can we get a selfie? Can you sign the back of my phone? Check this out. Here we go. Look at this. Yeah. Don, we love you, buddy. Look at you. Oh. Don takes his little. He puts the hands up, everybody. Not a single person in this place standing. Oh, look at it. Do you see anyone not clapping? They love this guy. Real superhero. Not a single person is skeptical. I'm always Careful about protecting the rights of the media because I'm an actual civil libertarian who believes in the Constitution. However, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a blanket authorization for people in the media to go and commit crimes. Producer Jim, last time I checked, is there an exception in the Bill of Rights that says if you're in the media, you can violate the civil liberties of others? I have. There is not. I have not seen it either has producer Jim, by the way, someone said yesterday, sent us an email and said, hey, you know, you talk to your team too much, folks. I'm sorry, it's part of the show. Again, this show's not for everyone. I understand that. But for the 104,000 people who are here, it's an honor to have you. And I love my team and they're part of the show. And by the way, 99% of people love the interaction with this great team. So I love producer Jim. There is no exception here. William McGurn, who is a writer at the Wall Street Journal, I thought summed this up perfectly in this piece. Here's the part they isolate you from. Don Lemon, who could cite journalistic First Amendment protections, is ignoring the fact that people have the right to express their freedom of religion as well without people like Don Lemon, you know, running into their church causing chaos. Put up that McGurn piece. This is really well said. And by the way, again, I cite the Wall Street Journal a lot to be because they're not. A lot of these writers are not huge fans of President Trump. But for all the left wing media, keep that up a second. Nonsense like, oh, Dan Bargito is parading talking points around. No, I'm using outlets here that I think are, you know, fair to both sides at times. McGurn says he's correct up to a point. Mr. Lemon's constitutional right to report at city's church isn't in question. It's not. He can report at a church as a media person. But another part of the First Amendment is implicated here, too. The right of Americans to the free exercise of their faith is mentioned in the same amendment that protects Mr. Lemon's speech. That's a right the protesters violated when they disrupted the service. And now you know what happens in a constitutional republic given that everyone's innocent until proven guilty. Don Lemon too, also everyone in the church. But it's on video. They're entitled to process like anyone else, folks. Now we'll go to a court and let a jury of people's peers or a judge figure it out. That's how the system works. You see any of that from the clapping seals in the audience. They don't give a shit about any of that. You got to get past the framing. Don't ever fall for this current thing stuff because you're seeing it as well with another thing in the news that I haven't got to talk about over the last two days. It's been a busy couple of days back. The SAVE act, folks. The SAVE act is probably chime up in the chat though. Tell me how you feel about this if you agree with this assertion. The SAVE act is probably the single most important piece of legislation moving through Congress and the Senate right now. The SAVE act, which would institute some election security measures around the country, will not stop election fraud. Nothing's ever going to stop fraud. But it will significantly minimize instances of election stealing and election fraud that may or may not be going on in certain areas around the country. It is a critical piece of legislation. I got a couple emails yesterday. You know, I listened to you guys. I get it in the the show email on the website. Why have we mentioned the saving? No reason. Just there was a lot going on. We're going to get to it now. We're going to get to it now. The Democrats in their framing. If I see the chat blowing up, I can see it out of the corner of my eyes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You guys are awesome. Thank you. We love the chat. We only we could blow up the chat. By the way, Chris at Rumble like, you guys are amazing. Your audience just loves the chat. You see it already slowing down. The framing issue is added. They're at it again. Liberal media. Every time election security measures come up, every single time, the Democrats go to the exact same playbook. What? It's hat tip. Tom Mar used to be a host up in Baltimore when I was there. He since passed, but he said that all the time. Every single time. They never deviate from the playbook. And then when you ask them simple questions like hey, presenting voter id, how is that racist? You suggesting people who are black or Hispanic or Asian can't figure out how to get an id? No, they can't. Why not? Explain that to me. Exactly why they can't figure that out but white people can. Sounds like the racist is you. Explain that to me. Liberals watching my show. I know you're there. Media people, Phil Bump and others explain that to me. Nicole Wall. Nicole, what do you think of this shirt? You know, for you today, a little blue. Anyone got some romantic music they could Play for Nicole. You guys got a dick. But no copyrighted stuff. I don't want to get sued. Jim, you need that, you know, a little, like, a little. Maybe I get like the, the Playboy smoking jacket or something. But see, this is how I did. This is how I get crazy. Explain to me please, Nicole, Philip, Frank, Fugazi, all you others are there how white people can figure out how to get an ID but black and Hispanic people can't explain. Go. They can't do it. Who's the real racist? This SAVE act is a ground ball. All it says is hey man, you know, you want to go out and buy a beer, you produce id, you want to gamble in a casino. I like to play blackjack once in a while. Not particularly good at it. I get smoked more often than not. However, sometimes you got to present an ID if they don't think you're of age. Why is it even remotely controversial to present id? The answer is it isn't. So they go with this bs. Now this is an issue however, that despite the Democrats best efforts to paint the SAVE act, this act which would institute election security measures around the country. Ground ball, ground ball. Despite their best efforts. This is possibly outside of defunding the police and all the other Trumps are fascist bullshit. They keep pushing. This election security stuff is racist is probably the dumbest thing they're pushing because it's just not working. I go back to this guy because he's a CNN pollster, he's not one of ours. Here he is talking about voter ID and the polling numbers the Democrats keep face planting on this. But they won't stop because they like to try to steal elections. That's why. Check this out. Take a look here. Favorite photo ID to vote, 85% of white people Favorite. 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favorite. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that in fact you should have a photo ID to be able to vote. Those are the numbers, man. We're not bullshitting you. It's a CNN clip. It's not Fox or Newsmax or Breitbart or Daily Caller. The Bongino show, bongino.com poll. It's none of that. It's a CNN guy. These people lie to you all the time. It is not racist. It's racist to suggest white people can figure out how to get a driver's license and black people can. That's what's racist. Now I bring it up because President Trump was on my show the other day and he was referring to the SAVE act when he talked about instituting national standards for the election. And of course, the hysteria started immediately. We have the show name on Google Alert, so, you know, we can see how the public's responding to the show. It's how we market. We figure out where we're winning, where we got to do better on messaging. We've always done it, so I see it. There must have been, I don't know, a thousand plus articles on President Trump saying this with law. President Trump wants to nationalize elections. Fascist monarch. He was an MSDNC piece or I don't know what it is. Msnow, Msnow. Whatever the hell, I'm just going to call it. Msnow. I know, Ms. I get it. But I'm not calling it that because they want me to. And I'll call it what I want. Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. Trump eyes radical power grip. He was clearly referring to the SAVE Act. And ladies and gentlemen, he's not talking about local elections for your city council or dog catcher. States and municipalities conduct those elections as they see fit as long as it doesn't violate constitutional rights, principles of federalism. There's state and there's appellate powers, federal powers, we all get that. But national elections for the House of Representatives, for the United States Senate and for the presidency should have national standards. This is again, is completely not controversial. There is nothing controversial about this except the left isolating you from the truth and framing it as some. Here's that fascist again. Donald Trump the fascist. What? Who wants people who won elections to actually win and not have the elections cheated from. By the way, that applies to Democrats too. I don't want Democrats who want elections to get cheated. No one's going to have faith in the system. I want fair standards. Why do you not want that? That was in, I think Rachel Maddow's blog or something. Msnow. That's going to be a thing. This is going to be a thing. Watch Philip Bumper write an article he doesn't know. It's msnl. That'll be tomorrow. That'll be tomorrow's piece. All right, we got. It's two critical things. We talked about immigration and the framing of it. We talked about the SAVE act, the Don Lemon case. In terms of broad spectrum constitutional rights. Yes, you have a constitutional right to practice your religion. You Have a constitutional right to be a member of the media. You don't have the right to engage in media activities and go out and hit someone with a baseball bat and go, hey, it was journalistic. You also don't have the right to say, hey, I'm practicing my religion. My religion. The first tenet of my religion is murder. The first person you see, that's not the way this works. There is a balancing test for liberties that are infringed upon. There is a balancing test. The least restrictive means and a compelling government interest. The government restricts rights all the time, but it has to do it by the least restrictive means and there has to be a compelling government interest. If your religion says murder the first person you see on a Monday morning, is there a compelling government interest to get you to not murder someone? Obviously. How do you do it? But from the least restrictive means? Well, you already have legal means to stop it. They won't even tell you that. Okay. As I said in the beginning of the show, moving on. I feel a public duty, given my past year of work and away from the microphone, to keep you guys aware of current threats, the threat environment right now. And I don't want to really, I'm not here to panic anyone or make anyone freak out. Enjoy your life, enjoy your kids. You know, things that are going to happen, you know, we're doing our best to stop them, but there's no reason to live your life in fear. Be prepared, stay prepared, be smart. You've heard all this. You don't need the, you know, you don't need lectures from me. But we are living in a really dangerous world, folks. I'm going to tell you something. I came out, if I can just be, you know, really kind of like open book with you right now. The past year was. I know, sorry, guy, I'm just doing the. The past year was. To say life changing is probably an understatement. It was, it was in many ways things I expected, in many ways things I didn't expect. But it really, it. When I say life changing, I mean it in a non figurative manner. I. My life will never be the same. Like I look at things different now. I hope it makes a better show for you. I hope it makes a more enjoyable informative experience. But not all of it was great for me because sometimes, ladies and gentlemen, sometimes ignorance is bliss. And when I had President Trump on the show on Monday, you know, I had mentioned that the threats are from space, they're from the water, they're from the air, they're from the grid, they're digital, they're undersea. The threats are everywhere. I mean, things like you can read in the media, it's not sharing anything you don't really know, like the cutting of undersea cables. You can read about it all over the place. Wall Street Journal, national security stories everywhere. You know this, this was not as prevalent of a thing over the past few decades as it is now with more undersea cables because there's more Internet traffic and a need for lines and transmission lines and things like that. These are really serious. Like you cut enough undersea cables and you cut off the Internet, like a lot of people are going to die. There are really serious threats out there. So I feel like it's my job in context to just warn everyone to just like, stay prepared, enjoy your life, enjoy your kids, but please be able to sustain yourself. I've always said this for a couple of months in the event something bad ever happens. So I talked in the beginning of the show about the 7, 6, 4 threat, which is very real. Monitor those chat rooms your kids are in, restrict their access to friends only, and please watch what they're doing. If you need to keep that computer at the kitchen table rather than in their room, folks, it's worth it. Listen, I don't usually share a lot of stories about my kids. I will share stories about Paula because we're both adults and she's always been part of the show. But we had the same fight with my daughter. I'm not going to go into details, but it's not easy. They want to go into rooms with the phones and they just want to disappear into the digital abyss. If you suspect something's up, get that phone away and get that computer in the kitchen. You're going to get an extinction burst of behavior, but it's worth it. So we talked about that. But I want to talk about something else here too, folks. The drone threat. Gee thinks this video clip, not this one, but the one I'm going to play in a minute here is the most interesting part of the show. I think so, too. So I don't know. We'll see what you think. Tell me in the chat, folks. The drone threat is a level 10 threat and it's a threat for obvious reasons. I've spoken about it many times before. I'm going to give you a few reasons now. The threat from the air by drone attack in the United States and on our forces overseas is a level 10 threat. Believe me, people are very focused on it Now. I can't speak about prior administrations, cuz I didn't see a lot of movement. But I promise you, the President, Sebastian Gorka has done amazing work at this. At the White House. Cash and me worked on it. The Secretary of War, Pete hegseth all over this problem through Golden Dome. But the threat is real. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. When there is an attack over here that resembles what Ukraine did in Russia, it's only a matter of what Russia does in Ukraine too. With drones, it's only a matter of time. And here's why I'm so concerned about this. On show three, I want to talk about number one. It's an asymmetric fight. The technology right now to take down some of these drones is way more expensive than the production costs of producing some shitty drones. Putting like a clamp on it and dropping a grenade somewhere. It I'm throwing out numbers, it may cost $10,000 to mitigate it and 100 bucks to create the drone. It's an asymmetric money fight. Right now the technology is getting better, so I want to scare anyone, but it's not fully there yet. Second, I'll go right into it. The technology cycle. When you talk to experts on the battlefield, which I did a lot of, I was obsessed with the drone problem when I got in there. The technology life cycle from drone to drone, drone interdiction technology to overcoming the interdiction technology in the drone. You get what I mean? Create a drone. We create a way to stop a drone. Well, we're going to create a way to stop the thing you're stopping the drone with sometimes is as little as three to four weeks. In other words, the second you get a technology, they just figure out a way around it. You disrupt radio frequencies? They do. They work off the phone grids. Then they use fiber optic line guided drones. There's a thousand different ways to get around it. So you have a technology problem, an asymmetric money problem, and you have the easiest one in the world, which should seem obvious. Human beings can't fly. So you get a problem on the ground like a robot drone dog, you know, you could take it out on the ground, disarm it, approach it. You can't fly. I mean, I think that's fairly obvious. It creates a problem. What do we do? We got to find another thing that flies to interdict the thing that flies. Because it ain't us. It is a really serious problem. I bring it up because I was putting together the show yesterday, I was watching Some clips on Fox and I saw John Roberts and the great Caroline Levitt are amazing Press secretary. I saw them talking about another attempted drone hit from Iran on one of our one of our ships. Here's what they said about it. Check this out. CENTCOM confirms that a US F35 fighter jet shot down an Iranian shahed drone that was making an aggressive approach toward the US as Abraham Lincoln. This on the same day that a couple of Iranian gunboats were threatening a US flagged tanker in the Gulf of the Persian Gulf, threatening to board it. So what is going on to the best of your knowledge? And what is the President going to do about what appear to be some threatening moves being made by Iran even as Steve Witkoff prepares to meet with the Foreign Minister Arachi either in Oman or Turkey on Friday? Well sure John, and thank you for having me today. I did speak with folks over at the Pentagon this morning who said that CENTCOM acted both appropriately and necessarily to protect our U.S. personnel and equipment in the region. So CENTCOM did make the decision to shoot down that Iranian drone. Now in light of what I told you in the beginning of the show when I was talking about the 764 threat and pedophiles and child molesters and we're trying to recruit your kids in chat rooms that the way to stop everything is put the FBI and cops in every chat room in America and watch everything all the time. But we don't want that, that nobody wants everyone's civil liberties impacted. We want predicates to crimes first. I gave you both sides. I'm going to give you both sides of the drone story because I'm not a doomer as well. The drone problem is freaking serious, level 10. But the drone technology is also going to work for us too. I just want to throw this up quick because I promised you it's not going to be like a two year hey look at my resume. The FBI but some of the stuff was there was relevant to this. So the first FBI drone training center down in Redstone in Alabama we started that big hat tip. Sebastian Gorka Jimmy former Chief of staff my chief of staff when I left Fred, they put all this stuff together and the guys down in Redstone and the reason the drone training school that the FBI is coordinating is important is because it's our school. But it's not, it's not training our people. It's training what they call SLTTs state, local, territorial and Tribal office officers because we can't do it alone. Nor would you want the FBI being The sole, you know, responsible party for the drone threat. You have problems in New York City, you have problems in la, you have problems in Tuscaloosa. Those cops need training, too. It's going to take a long time. But the Drone Threat Training center, the first one, I couldn't be there for the ribbon cutting down there because it was a government shutdown, so there's no travel. So I stayed back. I didn't want to, you know, we couldn't travel at the time. But this is ongoing. It's going to take a while to get a lot of state, local, territorial, tribal officers trained and get them out there in drone mitigation. But I promise you, we're doing something about it. It's just going to take up. This is a really, really serious level 10 problem. But on the good news side, not just that, that everybody's moving on this because they know how bad it is. And Pete is doing amazing work. Secretary Hagseth over at Dow, there are police departments around the country. Back to the surveillance thing. Like good news, bad news, that have taken advantage of a lot of this drone technology to respond to 911 calls. So it's kind of a good news component in that you're going to have someone, or at least someone, a drone, be able to respond to the scene and see what's going on immediately. Some of these calls, it may have taken a half an hour to respond to. The bad news is we better get some good guardrails around what we're allowed to watch and what we're not allowed to watch, because I don't want a surveillance state and you don't either. This is Guy's favorite video of the show. Found this one on Instagram. And I've seen this all over the country, not just in Dearborn. Check this out. Today we have launched our drone first responder program. We have six drones located across the city, and it allows us to respond to any part of this city in less than two and a half minutes. So, like right now, for example, my drone pilot Ryan's standing back there. Like, for example, what's this run right here? All these red boxes that you see, this is the map. That's one of these runs. It's a traffic stop. And so we can just hit respond here and launch a drone to that traffic stop right here from the building. And you're going to see here briefly. It's going to actually, this is launching from the fire station off outer drive. What you see here is actual drone over on the fire station. Ryan's about to launch it and take control of it. And it allows us to get a picture of what's happening. And that live picture, representative, can not only available to us here in our information center, but can be in the scout cars, in the officer's hands. You see a drone above you. There's a way for our residents to go onto a transparency dashboard representative and see why that drone was in the sky, why we launched it, to bring a level of accountability so we're not just flying these around without purpose. You want eyeballs on that scene instantly to be able to relay back to the officers and agents responding from the sky, hey, we've got two attackers with this style rifle dressed in whatever, red hooded sweatshirts. Fantastic that we like that. Correct. But folks, this show always gives both sides and we don't bullshit people. There's a problem here and it's the same problem I was talking about with regards to 7, 6, 4 and other things online. Who's watching the watchers? I promise you, you have my word. And when, I don't know when the, you know, when FOIA is and stuff and all this other, I think it's going to come out over time. The record of what we did and what we didn't. I say come out because there's some things I'm not at liberty to talk about. I'm not going to say, hey, we're doing this now with the FBI so the terrorists cannot do that. Like I'm not going to do that. That's just stupid. That's just being an asshole. Using information the taxpayer entrusted you with and like, you know, to act like, you know, Joey Superhero, that's bullshit. But I promise you, Cash is a huge civil libertarian and so was I. And I'm warning you about this stuff because folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg with AI and quantum computing. You're going to see these drones being used by police agencies and likely the federal government and you get the wrong people in charge. Folks, this could break really bad really fast. Let me paint for you a scenario which if you think is futuristic and not noweristic, you're out of your mind. You get 100 of these drones in a medium sized town working for the whatever East Tuna Fish police department. Imagine them being equipped with computing power you don't even understand. When quantum breaks, AI based technologies, high resolution cameras that the resolutions like nothing you've seen before. Facial ID technology, license plate readers, being able to search the Internet in microseconds in a quantum fashion. Once we get There, even non quantum. The power of computing is there now to do a lot of this stuff. Being able to search the Internet in seconds, even microseconds. In the future folks, you will have no privacy anymore. I did not lose my civil libertarian bona fides. The technology to surveil and spy on you is there. It is there now. There are no touch malware programs out there. There's always going to be a balance between your individual liberties and the surveillance state you. There is. I promise you there's a way to go full minority report right now. There is. You ever see that, that Tom Cruise movie, the Precoc. We don't have pre cogs. But there is a way right now with the technologies out there to surveil you and everyone else that if we were a police state you could, you could drop crime probably another 75, 80%. No one would be free though, because you'd all get caught up in that dragnet. Do you want to get caught up in a facial ID camera? Because you're out there like going to see a movie on a Friday night when maybe you should have been at work. Who knows, maybe you should have gone to work. That's a work problem. Maybe they fire is not a crime. I don't need that getting like a police database getting hacked into. And hey, John Smith was, was watching the new Gremlins movie on Friday at 4 when he was supposed to be work. It's not your freaking business. Let work figure it out. Guys, ladies, I've seen a lot of stuff. This surveillance technology is scary. Be very, very careful with calls for more surveillance. I'm comfortable with the people in charge right now that that balance has been struck. The use of technology with really, really, really powerful guardrails. I'm comfortable. I'm also telling you that the government is people. It's not Gremlins. It's not Casper the friendly or unfriendly ghost. You get new people in there who don't give a shit about guardrails like we had with the Russia collusion hoax. It doesn't matter how many agencies you have, the FBI, the ibf, the CIA, the dia, the abc, it doesn't matter. Bad people will take advantage of it. This is why we have to win elections now, next year, the year after that. Because there are people on the other side calling Donald Trump a fascist who will weaponize government in a heartbeat the minute they get back in power. And if you don't have people there to stop them and say that's a really freaking bad Idea. The technology now is so dangerous that I really do worry. That is, I worry about it as much, if not more sometimes than I do about an attack from a foreign nation. It is powerful. What they can do. Some of the stuff they could do is beyond your wildest imagination. I say that too, because I. In context of the current news story, because most of you are probably aware, some of you. Actually, I was talking to someone this morning, surprised they hadn't heard this story. Really tragic story. Most of you know Savannah Guthrie. I would assume she's like a commentator for what, did she work in NBC? Jim, do you know cnbc? Savannah Guthrie, I don't really matter, but Savannah Guthrie, really tragic situation. Her mom, you probably saw it, went missing a couple days ago. There appears to be malfeasance at the scene, not misfeasance. It looks like this could be either a kidnapping, an assault, hopefully not a homicide. But it's not a good situation given her media profile. Obviously, this was going to be a news story. I bring this up in context of the technology. I'm not just randomly throwing stories together. There's always. It's always a reason for this show. I don't randomly do stuff. When there's a break, there's a break. There was a lot of confusion when I was on the inside, too, about, you know, what the FBI can do and can't do. In a case like this, we are allowed to assist local law enforcement at their request. We don't come in and take over cases where there's no, you know, red line kind of federal jurisdiction. Like if it's federal crime, it's federal crime. We can come in and not take over, but it's going to be our case. A case like this where there may be a federal crime, may not be. These local police departments typically will ask the FBI for help, but we don't run the case. It's their case. We're just. If they ask us for an ERT and evidence response team to go in there, we can help. If they ask for a cast team that they basically analyze cell phones, you know, we can help, but it's not our case. But I say that going forward in the future because a lot of the technology we had that we can use to assist is now as we work with local law enforcement departments, more and cash. And I made that a priority a lot. I'm not telling you. We weren't working with law enforcement officers. We had TFO's task force officers, but we leveled it up 100%. You're going to see some of these technologies that only we had access to start to filter down to law enforcement agencies, the state, local, territorial and tribal level. And you're going to see a lot of these technologies are going to become pervasive. And I've seen this in some of the, you know, narratives online. They break out. They want to, like, blame everyone for everything. But we get called into support. We're only in a support role unless it's a, you know, an obvious federal crime, terrorism or things like that. So these technologies are there and I would suspect by hopefully pretty soon that they will have a suspect in this case. They may have it already. I haven't been calling anyone and, you know, it's not. I'm on the outside now and that's their job. I'm going to let them do their job thing. All right, well, one more story I wanted to get to from the Washington Post because it's a huge, huge victory. Ladies and gentlemen, you are winning on the messaging thing. We've been talking about framing left psychotic positions. We want penises in the women's room. Not a good idea. Morons. We would love to defund the police. Voter ID is racist. They are going back. They have learned nothing from their electoral experience with Donald Trump. And they are right back to taking crazy, lunatic fringe positions they've always taken. They have no allegiance to the truth whatsoever. The good news is bad news. Good news, bad news, good news. Always going to give you the full picture here. We are winning. Washington Post story is a huge deal, folks. These medical groups and doctors and hospitals that were mutilating these kids supposedly transit. You can't transition your gender. Your gender is your gender. You see the Washington Post here. First major medical group opposes gender transition surgeries for you. Listen, doctor. I'm not a doctor. We can all acknowledge that. I'm not Dr. Dan Bongino. I've never been a doctor. Took the MCATs, didn't get into medical school. Not a doctor. There are doctors in the chat, though. You can attest if I'm lying. Tell me in the chat. A lot of these medical groups, not all of them, but a good portion of them, are run by big time liberals. And a lot of these medical groups are like, this is scientifically backed gender transition. You're either going to get a trans child or a dead child. There was no evidence to back that up at all. It was always bullshit designed to pressure parents to mutilate their kids. You need in many states, ID to vote. Why? Because they want to make sure you're of age and you're the person. You need ID to buy alcohol. Why did we decide you have to be 21 to buy alcohol? Because we don't want 15 year olds who don't have fully formed brains and their judgment is not all there to be drinking alcohol to make them even more impaired. We treat children like children and they have fewer rights. We don't let kids drive, we don't let nine year olds go out and buy guns. We don't do that. Not because they don't have rights, because those rights are designed for fully functioning adults who've developed the maturity to understand what those rights are. We have always treated children differently. Except liberals when it comes to cutting nuts off. You want to cut a kid's nuts off, they're like that. Cut him off. But the kid's nine, he didn't even know what his nuts do yet. Cut him off, it's okay. And it's true. And these medical associations run by liberals like this is scientifically bad. Cutting the kids nuts off, they can't get the nuts back. They don't go in a jar. You're mutilating these kids for life. It's stunning it took this long for a lot of these medical organizations to even start to speak out. But I'm going to tell you something. You know what made a huge difference here? This always makes a huge difference. And you know, listen, this is one of those things that our legal system has its good and it's bad. There's a lot of unnecessary, expensive litigation that goes on in the country that costs innocent people billions of dollars. The legal system needs reforms too, but the legal system does a lot of good things. And when a lot of these hospitals and doctors start getting sued by some of these kids who had their nuts cut off off, or their breasts cut off, who now turn 18 or 21 and realize this is not reversible and their bodies have been permanently harmed. When they start suing the hell out of these medical institutions, you're going to see insurance companies are going to say, we're not paying for this. Because money talks, folks, and bullshit walks. And if you can't go into court with scientifically backed, rigorous data showing you did this for a medically backed reason. What happened to the Hippocratic oath, do no harm? If you can't prove that in court, you are going to have yourself a damn big problem. This is just the first. It was a was. Did you see the story, Jim? It was like a $2 million lawsuit the other day. They lost against they call them D transitioners. I would argue there's no transitioning. Your gender is your gender. There is no transition. It doesn't make a man a woman or a woman a man. You're never going to do that. And you read some of these horror stories online about what happened to these children's bodies, folks, they're never going to be the same. So for all our legal systems problems, in the end, they get a lot of things right and this is one of them. You are going to see insurance companies for these hospitals say we are not paying. We're publicly traded companies. We have shareholders. We will go out of business. You want to do these surgeries, you're on your own. And when those doctors and hospitals realize that the liability is personal, in other words, Dr. Jones can be sued himself. There you go. I ain't doing it. Well, I thought it was science backed. You're protected in other ways, right? You do a treatment, you're protected in other ways. You'll go to court and defend the cancer treatment even if the patient dies. If you did the right thing, you have a science on your side. Why won't you do this? Because you know the science is not on your side. You absolutely know it. So folks, regarding the the new format for the show, we will be going 10 to right around noon every day, Monday through Friday. Rumble.combongino if you could do us a big favor. I don't like a lot of asks. I don't like to impose a lot on the audience. As I've said to you from the start, the show is about delivering a product to you free of charge. It is not about asking anything of you in reverse. However, once in a while I do need an ask from you. If you would go to rumble.com bongino click that follow button. We'd really appreciate it. You can get notifications when the show goes live. You can always watch the show after it airs. It'll wrap up at around 12 noon every day. You can check out Hayley after that. Rumble.com Haley Two Eyes please watch a video on demand later. Spread the word. It's been an amazing launch after a year off. I'm just going to be straight with you. We were, I think me and the whole team, you know, you've been gone a year. People move on. They have lives. The world's not about me, folks. I did my own thing. I came back. I'm not expecting everyone. Oh, look at that. They got a little graphic there. Rumble.com bungie click the little subscribe and there's a thank you they put up there. Very nice guys. But I was a little worried especially given that the whole live streaming ecosystem, audiences are down the political space. A little worried. You weren't. I'm now after three days of just blockbuster numbers. Thank you. I'm just, I can't thank you enough. I really love you guys. I was, you know, people move on and to see you all come back in droves and basically the same audience I left with after a year gone and you know, feeds atrophy. People unfollow stuff. It's just really an honor. But we will be going forward. We are going to have guests. Maybe not every day, but most of the time. Tell me and give me your feedback as the show goes on. Let me know if the guest segments are working for you or not. If they're not, we'll change the format. The format of the show. It's fine. But I really like hearing from guests because, you know, I feel like I got really good inputs on stuff I think the numbers show. But other people have valuable inputs too. And I'm not a SME subject matter expert on every single thing. So when we got the guest lineup set up for next week, I'll tell you, hopefully by tomorrow Friday. We got some really good ones. And if you have guest suggestions, let us know. We'd be happy to hear it. Thanks again for tuning in folks. Please. Rumble.com Bongino give us a follow. Check out Haley's show at noon.
