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, folks, we talk about the incompetence of bureaucracies and government officials all the time, and it's for a very simple reason. Governments are run by third parties. Third parties. You know, you have, you have, you. You have, say, a doctor, and then you have government that gets in the way. If they pay for medicine, the third party has the least amount of skin in the game. You wonder. You all get that. I know you're smart, but to the liberals who may be tuning into my show today, who don't understand basic human dynamics, sociology and psychology, if you were paying a doctor, the doctor has an interest in giving you good service so you don't shit mouth the guy on Yelp. You have an interest in living, so you go to a good doctor. If you put the government in charge of health care, they give zero shits at all about what the doctor does or you do. They just want you out of their hair and to get reelected. Why am I bringing this up at the beginning of the show? Because why these people in these liberal places continue to accept the suffering, wildfires, crime, people being set on fire of governments that have destroyed their lives despite the government having zero interest in fixing anything is just stunning. That you're willing to lose everything over government incompetence. And, yes, this is the time to talk about it. Unbelievable, man. I'll show you what I mean coming up. I got a big show for you today. The Trump press conference yesterday, a ton of stuff came out, of course. The media melting down, losing their minds over that big show today. Try Beam's Dream Powder.

You heard it here first. Hey, we're in crunch time right now. A new administration is going to be sworn in. But as great as that is, it could also mean our enemies have days left to stir up trouble.

Listen, I'm going to be straight with you because I don't like messing around and you guys are part of the show too. We are seriously at right, guys, like super crunch time for moving into the new studio. Like now it was years, then months, and now we're down to weeks, potentially days. It feels like it may actually happen now, but wouldn't you guys agree? It's almost like there's like a cyberdyne system built into our computer that knows we're about to leave. You ever see Terminator? It's like it's become self aware, right? And it's so pissed off we're leaving. It's now messing with us everywhere. Right? It's like everything is like breaking down at the same time. So cybernet or cyber, it is a. It's self aware. It's like giving us the double barrel. It's like, hi, you get the double barrel, I'm giving you it back. But the new studio is getting ready to open up soon. We're going to have a big party. Justin. Sorry, a little congested still from that trip, but I feel great. Justin was like, hey, man, are we going to do a party in there? Yes. I got like a little mini golf course on the side just for you guys to have a little bit of. I might even be kidding. So this is going to be great. We're all going to have a good time. But let me get to a really sad story first, folks. Listen, I've been warning you forever about the perils of government. One time I'm driving out of the mountains in Maryland. Mountain, There's a mountainous part of Maryland. For those of you who aren't familiar with the region. Out in the western portion of Maryland, near Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and that's where I was running for Congress. So it's a really long drive to where I live because Maryland's really wide, right? So I used to listen to C Span once in a while because it was the only station I could get. And I'm listening to this lecture by Father Bob Sirico who is a libertarian type guy, works at the act and Institute, he's a priest and he's talking about government. And I've addressed this before but he's like, it's not that government's too big, it's just, it's too stupid. Government doesn't want to know anything because it doesn't have to know anything. So when you see what's happening with these tragic wildfires in la, which are people are losing everything. Insurance companies cannot get into the California market because California government screwed data. There is nothing California politicians in this haven't screwed up. Whether you love or hate insurance companies is your business, not mine folks. I'm not going to get into that. I'm just going to tell you this. Insurance companies are not in California because California won't let insurance companies do what they do, which is insure risk. They won't let them do that. So these people are losing everything in a massive tragedy. We're on multiple radio stations out there. It's an area I travel to, used to a lot out in Los Angeles. I had a doctor friend out there, he since passed after Covid, but a really good guy. And it is an unbelievable human tragedy. I'm telling you this, a lot of this stuff was preventable. Donald Trump had warned people about the danger of poorly managing fire prone areas. This government can't get anything right. And I don't understand why, why some folks in these places. I'm not telling you nobody deserves any of this. Don't that, that's disgusting. We're not going down that road at all. Your house doesn't deserve to burn down because of your politics. That's just stupid. But I always ask this question all the time, when is it going to get bad enough? I mean we have hurricanes in Florida all the time and other natural disasters. Look at this, by the way, this has gone viral. This is a guy inside his house surrounded by a wall of fire. If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, this is like if you ever had a nightmare about what it would be like to be caught in your home in the middle of a wildfire look at his poor dog. Now the good news to this, if there is any, is I did some homework on this because I don't want to put you in a horrible mood at the show. The dog and the, the man there in the video are okay. They did evacuate. But you look at this video, I don't know how the hell they did it because the whole house is surrounded by a wall of fire. Maybe outside the front door was okay, folks, this stuff was manageable. Florida has this hurricane problem. Getting back to my point, we had Ron DeSantis, we had Rick Scott, we had, we had competent governors here who figured out a way to manage this natural disaster problem. California is prone to wildfires. You have lightning strikes, you have any sparks can be generated anywhere. Construction sites. You have a dry environment. What did they do? They screwed up the water management, draining off necessary water from reservoirs to protect the 3 inch fish. What else did they do? The insurance market, they destroyed it. They, the government regulated it to death and said, you guys can't price risk. We're going to price control you. They said, well, if we can't make money, we're out of here. And that's what happened. Then you have the DEI fire commissioner over there talking about DEI initiatives. Then you have them. They can't rank the power companies. The power companies have to turn off power because they won't let the power companies invest in actual fire management because they're busy investing what freaking green energy, bro. These people are getting you killed. And yes, it is the right time to talk about it because people are losing everything. And where's the freaking L. A Mayor Karen Bass, by the way, an absolute life loser. She's over in what, Accra, Ghana, for the presidential election. What the hell does that do during fire season in Los Angeles? She's not even in town. You doubt me? Here, listen to a local news report. Check this out. You're wondering, where is LA Mayor Karen Bass? She's been in Ghana, so she's apparently on her way back. That's why we have not seen her on the scene. We saw Governor Newsom at the scene earlier. We know that President Biden happens to be in town, but we have not seen him on camera with all of this. Justin says that's really. At least she's headed back. That's very nice. She's headed back. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Thank you for headed back while your city burns to the ground. To the people out there, I don't care about your politics. My heart is with you. And yes, I do pray for people like that. And I don't care if liberals thinks it, thinks it's hokey or not. I don't really give a shit. That's why you're liberal losers and I'm not. But I will continue to say a prayer for you at night for the strength to deal with this. That's all I can pray for. I can't pray for outcomes. I don't know God. I don't pretend to. I love God, but I don't pretend to know him. He knows me, but I'm not smart enough to know about God. But I know I can pray for strength. And for those of you like, what the hell do you know about this? I lost my house in a fire. I lived with my aunt and uncle for a long time in Wantawantagaw, Nassau County. We lost an entire house due to a fire. Burned to the ground. The dog died. I lost everything I have. I don't own anything from prior to. Was I 19, 19, 20 years old. I don't own anything. Actually, I take that by a pair of Doc Marten boots that magically survived Doc Marten. Of what they're made of, who knows? Maybe they're made of some fireproof material. I have no idea. But they managed to survive. That was it. They're not wearable because they smell like smoke, but it was the only thing I have. All my family pictures are from friends. So I know exactly what it's like to lose everything. Exactly. And you know what? It sucks. And you know what the worst part about living through a fire is and losing everything is? You don't even know what you lost until you need it. Anyone in the Chat ever been through this? I hope you haven't, but if you have, chime in. You know what I'm talking about, right? It'll be a year later, and you'll be like, oh, my gosh, you know, I need my diploma for. Oh, yeah, that burned, too. You'll go for a job interview. They'll ask you for your diploma back in the day when you had to produce a hard copy. Now you just digitally do it. You'll be. You'll be looking for. You'll be like, you know what? You'll be watching some movie. You'd be like, oh, man, I had a book about that movie. It was signed, but. Oh, yeah, that's gone too. My mom, you know, obviously passed, but she bought me a Mickey Mantle card. We went to the Baseball hall of Fame. It was the most expensive thing she ever bought me. It was like $150 back and it was a late one. It was like 1965 or something. I remember thinking, man, that Mickey, man. Oh yeah, lost that too. People are going to lose everything. I'm just asking you, I'm not telling you again. Republicans are the solution to all your problems, guys, in LA or anywhere else. I'm simply telling you that liberal Democrats are the cause of your problems. I'm not telling you Republicans are going to be able to fix them. I'm just telling you, if the cause of your problems is this, at least excise that problem and try something else. If it doesn't work, you can always go back to the problem. There's no downside for it at all. I was going to play this video the other day and I got to tell you, I'm glad it didn't fit into the show because it fits in right here perfectly. Showing you again the incompetence of government. Think about what you do for government. You work your ass off every single day, every single person in this chat. You work your ass off every day to feed your family, right? You give government anywhere from 20 to 40% or more of your money. Think about that. Four out of every 10 hours for a lot of you. Between state, federal, local government, property taxes, school taxes. Four out of every 10 hours you work to support government. They can't educate your kids in liberal cities. They can't keep you from being burned on the subway. They can't actively do fire control so your house doesn't burn down. They're totally unprepared in disaster response when something happens like in Asheville, the flooding in Asheville. They can't do anything right. And yet you work nearly half your life to. To support these assholes in government. And you wonder why I'm such a conservatarian at heart and hates every dollar I give to the government outside of our military and constitutionally protected rules of police force and things like that. Why? Because they suck. They cannot do anything right. Everything they touch, they destroy. It's not just that they can't do anything right, it's that they pardon my. They fucking everything up all the time. If you had a private company of people, I'm not kidding you, with an 8th grade education doing land management, l a day would have figured out burn control and fire management better than these freaking idiots you're working half your life to support. Yes. This is the time I want to show you this video. Remember the disastrous flooding in Asheville, North Carolina? Which by the way, they're still dealing With. They're not even close. This thing isn't even one 1000th result. People were wiped out. You remember that. You had the hurricane that blew over went into complete wipeout of the town. It wasn't just North Carolina. It was other states too. You know that. I want you to listen to this. This is one of the officials and I'm not blaming her. She's just reading the law. I want to be clear. So don't, you know, don't. It's not about the person. It's about the message here. They're given a press conference and they proceed to tell the people of the. Of North Carolina in that area, hey, man, listen, even though you have no home left, you better damn well pay them property taxes. What? We paid you the property taxes. You guys still can't do anything. Nobody can ever do anything right in government. But make sure you pay the bill. Check this out. As a reminder, today is the last day to pay your property tax bill. Bill. Before it becomes delinquent. Please note that North Carolina law does not permit property tax waivers or exceptions for natural disasters, including Hurricane Helene. Again, it's not about the woman. There's nothing to do with it. She's just reading this thing that was put in front of her about what the law is. I feel bad she had to do it too, sitting there reading this thing. Here's a reminder. You have to pay. No one figured this out. Like, maybe after the town was wiped out, someone should have got. I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat. Said, hey, we're going to put a suspension on this until we can reassess if these properties are even worth anything. And these people may need their money. Like nobody thought of that. If it was a private company, I assure you they would have thought about it. To keep their customers. Because the government is all about a. All the time. They don't care. They're a third party. They don't give a shit. Pay your money or you're going to jail. Nobody else can do that. The doctor can't say, pay me. Use me. I'm going to put you in prison. The lawyer can't say that, but government can, folks. Government sucks. Government shit. Government sucks. Everything the government does sucks all the time. Government sucks. Government sucks. You understand? Sucks. There's nothing they do right. Nothing. Thankfully, we have brave men in our military, but the Pentagon's even screwed that up. Government sucks. Federalist51. Kids, sometimes you wish men were angels because we could get rid of these idiots. They are morons. Now do you see why Trump the wrecking ball. You see why people have gravitated to Donald Trump? North Carolina. I was reading a story the other day about counties in L. A that are largely black, that have moved dramatically in the direction of Trump. Five and six point games. It was in the Wall Street Journal, if you want to check it out in the op ed column, how the only place Trump lost votes, lost ground, was with white rich liberals. I'm not making a racial game out of it. This was just the demographic breakdown. White rich liberals love Democrats still, despite their places burning to the ground, their subway system shit, their education system shit, everything's garbage. White rich liberals are so rich they don't care. They can hire their own security and send their kids to private schools. That's the only reason they keep voting Democrat. Blacks, Hispanics, and by the way, wealthy, wealthy black families moved in the direction of Donald Trump from 2020. So it's not a rich person thing, it's a rich white person thing. The same people telling you about white rage and things like that. This is why Donald Trump resonates, because government sucks. And Donald Trump, transactional Donald Trump spreadsheet. Donald Trump, who does not want to play political games. He just, he doesn't care how you do things. That's why this records, man. I'm, I'm like, this is. Hold on. Thank you, John, for blackout, for making one of my better openings in a long time. Kids in a mood today. This is why transactional Trump, when it comes down to this reconciliation package they're talking about, there's a big debate. Do they do one big package and throw everything in it when Trump swears in taxes, the border, national defense, everything, or they do, too? Trump's at the point now, he's like, guys, I don't give a shit how you get it done. Here's what I want done. You do it. I prefer one big package. Trump saying, at this point, I don't care, you get it done, but you better damn well get it done or I'm going to put the squeeze to you. That's what leadership is. That's what bhags are. Big, hairy, audacious goals. The man is transactional. He sees the world as a spreadsheet. People are tired. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, black voters, Hispanic voters. They're tired of the passionate speeches about coexistence and DEI and we all got to get along. Just do your freaking job and get the hell out of my life and make sure my place don't freaking burn down. Trump Gives a presser yesterday. He brings up a common sense thing. Hey, we've got this massive place called Greenland right to our northeast full of valuable minerals. It'd be great for surveillance and national defense. Why don't we get it? Liberal thing. Stupid idea is that, man? You mean same stupid ideas. Taxing the shit out of your citizens and not engaging in basic burn control and letting an entire city burn down. You mean that stupid? It's crazy. This wasn't even part of the show, right? I threw this thing in the beginning. We're now 20 minutes in. Nothing pisses me off more than government. You want to show that loves government? Find the new because this ain't it. I hate it. I can't stand it when they say unnecessary evil. I want you to focus on the evil portion of it. Take a quick break and I'll get back to the press conference yesterday. Because this Greenland thing, everybody's talking about this all wrong. They don't understand transactional trump. They just. I don't know how many times he's going to do this and creep up on people before they figure it out. Take a quick break. Blackout coffee. How you guys in the chat like the show tonight? You dig in the open so far. Is it a little too much for you? Did I come out too hot and heavy? Guy, you're the ultimate guide. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I need a minute to figure this out. Hey, so I just got back from this holiday trip, right? I swear true story I told you about. I got really sick the second to last day of the trip. So we got a new sponsor, All Family Pharmacy.

All Family Pharmacy helped me out a lot on that trip. They know what I mean. I told them right back to the show. So this happens yesterday at the press conference. The left wing media commie scum of course lose their minds because they don't understand transactional Trump. They only understand speeches and bumper stickers about coexistence. Here he is talking about Panama, which is the Panama Canal, which has effectively been de facto taken over by the Chinese Communist Party, which is a national security threat. And, and Greenland, which would be a tremendous asset to the United States both economically defense wise and for intelligence regions. Here is problem focused Trump, in contrast to the emotions focused media. Check this out. Greenland and the Panama Canal, so forth. Can you assure the world that as you try to get control of these areas you are not going to use military or economic coercion? No. Can you tell us a little bit about what your plan is? Are you going to negotiate a new treaty? Are you going to ask the Canadians to hold the vote? What, what is the strategy? I can't assure you. You're talking about Panama and Greenland. No, I can't assure you on either of those two. But I can say this. We need them for economic security. The Panama Canal was built for our military. I'm not going to commit to that. Here's transactional Trump, folks. You know, United States preeminence. Here's the way I look at this and the way you should look at it too, because I'm telling you, I have not spoken to Donald Trump about this. Again, I do not have that kind of relationship with him. We have talked occasionally. At best, we know each other. I Don't know him like that. I hate when people exaggerate their closeness to look like they're freaking players. We used to call that in the Secret Service. Big league. And people. Hey, look at me. I'm just telling you. I've got a pretty decent sense from the conversations we've had that are limited, of who the guy is. He is looking at this completely like a spreadsheet, which is the only way to look at it. He's saying a couple things. We are the world's freaking policemen and we have been forever. I don't even like that we are. Let me be clear. I'm not making a value judgment on that. I'm just telling you and you know it. It's true. We're all over the world. They want us to protect everyone. Save the kids in Darfur, get involved in Afghanistan, fight the terrorists here. Whether you agree or disagree with that, the US Military has been effectively the NYPD police force for the entire globe since post World War II. We just have. Do you have any idea how many of our family members are dead, have lost limbs, have been mentally and emotionally scarred from fighting wars for other people's freedom from. I want you to remember a name for me. The name's Gregory Ambrose. You may be asking who's Gregory Ambrose? I'll tell you. He's my Uncle Dan. How do you know him? I don't. He's dead. He died in Vietnam. He was killed in Thu. Duck. Shot in the back, saving his friends. He got the Bronze Star with a V device on it for doing it. You can read his story on those Vietnam Wall sites. I've read it on the air many times. Never met him. He was my mother's brother. Obviously he was killed the day he was supposed. The day he was supposed to come back. They had the welcome home signs. The day he was supposed to come back. Two soldiers showed up instead. My grandmother was never the same. He died in Vietnam, not Toledo. You have any idea how much blood we've shed on foreign soil? Please explain to me the liberals who lost their minds about this yesterday, why it's so ridiculous that we should go to Greenland and say, hey, we have a strategic interest in some high level of cooperation. They don't have to become a state. Become like the Virgin Islands or something like that. Or Guam, some protectorate. We could engage in a common currency, common fiscal policy. Give him a. You know, give them an advisory. Some advisory position. Put some. Put some leadership over there. Put. We could develop an expansive military base for intelligence, surveillance, recognizance over there. You realize the national defense implications. Do you have any idea how many rare earth minerals are. What do they have? Can you look it up? How many residents do they have? Is it 57,000 or something? Now I don't want to do Mara Gay math, Mary Gay or Brian Williams math. Was I right? Well, figured I'd be up. I don't know. Someone must have told me that. 57,000. You could give them $500,000 each. We'd still get the place at a bargain. You could. We would still get. We're giving away money every way to the whole world. We're flying people in for everywhere else. What is so crazy about this idea? Don't tell me about your freaking emotions. That is a freaking awesome point. I did not even. Shame on me. I'm not even going to say it because you're going to. You can't one up the host and look better than him. You're going to want you to have your own show. Whatever. I'll tell you. Justin said we just spent billions of dollars, basically financed in the Ukrainian military. Why can't we spend money to actually advance the interests of the United States? I mean, we've spent far more than it would cost to give $100,000 to every resident of Greenland. What's crazy about this idea? Don't tell me about your emotions. We're going to look. Then you're talking about emotions. I don't give a shit what anything looks like. We're going to look like an imposter. I don't care. I'm not asking you about your emotions. Tell me where I'm wrong. Here's Don Jr. Donald Trump Jr. Flew over with Charlie Kirk and Sergio Gore. Here he is being pretty warmly greeted the airport. There wasn't some official arrival ceremony. You don't see people throwing eggs at him. Here he is saying hello and he was in a rush because it wasn't a lot of daylight over there given its northern push up there. So he had to get going. But look at. Hey, nice to see you all. And that's Tucker one. That's. Isn't that Justin from Tucker. That's Justin from Tucker Carlson Show. Filming some. I'm pretty sure I'm pretty good with. Face it all my eyesight's going. Yeah. Then nobody throwing eggs at him. Nobody. Nobody saying green. Go home. Look, folks, tell me what's crazy about the idea without mentioning your emotions. That's all I ask. Something else came up yesterday too. A huge story. We are never letting Go. If you're saying to yourself right now, which I know you're not, but if you're saying to yourself right now, hey, Dan, I am sick of the January six pipe bomber story. I don't want to know who it is and why the FBI is hiding the identity about the biggest scandal in American history, then okay, this show is not for you. I'm not letting the story go.

Thank you, Helix. This happened yesterday as well. This is quick, but pay very close attention. Donald Trump has asked a question about January 6th, and he just throws this out there about the identity of the pipe bomber. And I'm telling you, Donald Trump doesn't say these things by accident. Day by accident. Check this out. But there wasn't one gun that they found. And why didn't they find the bomber? The pipe bomber. You know, they know who the pipe bomber is. The FBI knows who it is. I want you guys to know. Guy doesn't like this story, which is okay. It's okay. But the show is called the Dan Bongino show for a reason. I'm gonna give Gee his own show about Star Trek. By the way, Guy got me a cool thing for you. See Karate man. Karate man. And then Justin got the people's elbow. So we're all set now at the car collection. I got the car car collections growing by the day. I also got my own card someone got for me. Someone made me a damn barge. No car. Which is kind of cool. Folks, Donald Trump is saying exactly what I've been telling you, like, forever. The FBI knows who put the pipe bomb at the DNC four years ago on January 6th. Why Kamala Harris was inside and doesn't want to tell you because it's a freaking inside job. They're only releasing new evidence and video now because Cash Patel is going to come in and tell you who it is. And it's going to be the biggest story of our time and our show is going to be the number, number one show on Spotify, Apple Rumble and I think that's the really only place we are. But because everyone's going to go shit, I should have listened to this guy. It's the biggest scandal of our time. Wait till you figure this whole thing out. Gee, you're fired. Who? See who said that? Faulty tan fan. Fault the tan fan. Gee, you're, you're fired. You need a Donald Trump thing. You're fired. Throw in there guy be lost without geek. He's ok. No, no, he does not like. He just. I think he thinks I'm just a little obsessed with it. I guess it's because me understanding how the federal government works and how feds can screw you over. It's been five years and he's like. I guess he's like. He's watched the same Star wars movie a thousand times. I'm telling you, Donald Trump said that for a reason. Now what do I always tell you? Here's this is. Listen pop quiz here. Rumble Chat. Hold on. Pop quiz for the Rumble Chat right now. Let's see who gets it first. Okay. How do you measure the veracity or authenticity or danger of a pick to the far left? How do you know something Trump says is really dangerous? What do you watch? What do you look out for? Does anybody know? Yes. Yeah. Who said it? Nero Bastiat. Nero Bastiad. I like that. That's quite a combination. Nero and Bastiat. Broken Windows game. What's that? Nero, you're a locals guy too good for you, man. That's a hardcore P1. Locals people are like the P1s and P1s and P1s. They like the ultra P1s. Nero Bastiat. Yes. You look at the reaction of people in the press. Thank you. Nero Bastiat. And who do I always go to first when it comes to deep state stories about the FBI and the intel community? Who? Let's see who gets this one. Who is the guy in the media that the intel community always goes to when they realize they're in real trouble? Who's the first person? Let's see. Anybody know? Yeah. Oh yes. Who? Got it. John seeks truth one. Correct. Ken Delaney. And thank you. John seeks truth one. Kenny D. Kenny? No, not Kenny G. No, no. Kenny D. Here's Kendelane in the intel community must have told him. Oh my gosh, they're on to us. Kenny D. Without evidence, Donald Trump just accused the FBI of lying when the bureau said it doesn't know the identity of the person who placed the pipe bombs at the DNC before the January 6th attack. Now. Now you. The verdict is in. Judge Bongino is ruled. I need myself like a black robe. I have one of those, you know, one of those judicial wigs they wear over in the uk. That's what I need if Candelanian is saying it. Fusion Candelanian, intel mouthpiece, Kendall Ainian. I am telling you now with certainty, the FBI knows who this person is inside of you. Here's a reminder. We throw this article up every time. This is the Intercept. This is a left leaning outlet back in 2014. This is not a conservative news outlet. The Intercept. They talk about the CIA's mop up, man. Running stories by the intel community for their approval. Who. Who are they talking about? Email exchanges between the CIA and Kendallane. And this guy's an intel mouthpiece. They are obviously freaked out. They know who it is. It was an inside job. The data points are all over on this. It is beyond a reasonable doubt. And I'm telling you, you're probably only months from finding out. Cash going to need a few days to gain. He's got a couple things he's got to stop the attacks first. But I'm assuming. I'm. I'm hoping I should say, because I can't speak for Cash. I. I don't want to speak for anyone. Oh, man, that's nice. Wait, wait. How do I look at. Let me try to get. Wow, look at that. Thank you. Man, my hairline got fixed too. You guys are good. How'd you figure that out? Is that a. How did you do that? Look at that. See, the Cyberdyne system let us actually do that, which is shocking. The Cyberdyne system must be having fun with this show because I'm telling you, Cybernet knows we're leaving if this show goes off the air over the next few years. Just know we were attacked by The Arnold Schwarzenegger Cyber 9T1000. Or whether. What was it? Was he T1000 in that one or was that the second one? You sci fi people may know Fusion Ken is trying to do a mop up job right now. That wasn't it with yesterday's presser, folks. It even gets better. So we have Greenland. We talked about that. The J6 pipe bomber. Trump's like, yeah, they know the identity. Yeah, of course they know the identity. There are insiders probably telling them that right now. But here's transactional Trump again. He's like, hey, man, you know, we got this whole Gulf of Mexico. I think we should call it the Gulf of America. The only reason these waterways and all of this is secure and that north and South America aren't invaded is because of the United States. So Trump's like, why the hell is it the Gulf of Mexico? Let's just call it the Gulf of America. I'm like, check. Sounds good to me. Check this out. We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country. There's transactional Trump. That's what transactional Trump does. He thinks of the world as a spreadsheet. Why is it called the Gulf of Mexico? That waterway is safe and secure because of us, not because of Mexico. By the way, he was funny Trump, yesterday. It's kind of, you know, I don't. I don't ruin your whole mood today, but. Sorry, I just love reading the chat. I become, like, really addicted to the chat on the show. Here's Trump. He put out this picture yesterday. It's a picture of all the presidents. I want you to focus in on the end. He has himself twice, of course, which is actually. Is accurate, of course, but look who he has in between. Joe Biden, right? No, 46 president liberal staffers with a picture of a bunch of silhouettes of people. You, you're good. You. You're good. Folks, we're done taking bullshit, okay? The United States, I'm really sorry to inform you, and it's certainly not a reflection on our citizenry, our military, our entrepreneurs. We are the most powerful country in the history of planet Earth. Think about that. This planet's been around a long time. We've been Homo sapiens sapiens from Australopithecus, Australopithecus Africanus, Neanderthals. We have we in the history of planet Earth. My lord and savior designed us in this way for a reason, to get to where we are now and where we are right now in the present. The most powerful society in the history of the world. Even more powerful than the Roman Empire. Oh, no, Dan. Oh, yeah. We could destroy the entire world right now. No problem with our nuclear paywall. Obviously a stupid, catastrophically bad idea. That's power, though, is it not? May not be good power, but it's power. We are the most powerful country in the history of Earth, and it's time we Started acting like it. We've been getting our asses kicked on the political stage, frankly, since Vietnam. Why? Because we get involved in a bunch of things we shouldn't. Once we do get involved, liberals ruin the damn thing. Enough of this bullshit. Here's Trump yesterday. We still have American hostages overseas held by the Hamas demon savages. Yes. Scumbag, demon, savage little devil bastards, okay? And they should die a brutal, horrible, awful death. And my suggestion to Donald Trump is you make this super painful if these hostages are not released on day one. And let me tell you something. You know the fuck around and find out. They're about to find out real quick if we don't get these Americans back. These are our people. Listen to this. Do you think they're waiting for President Trump to take office? No, I think they heard him loud and clear. Better get done by the inaugural. But when you say all hell will be paid, all hell must be paid if they don't release the hostages, do I have to define it for you? Look, all hell will break out if those hostages aren't back. I don't want to hurt your negotiation. If they're not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle east and it will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for any. Anyone. All hell will break out. I don't have to say anymore, but that's what it is. And they should have given him back a long time. They should have never taken him. Listen, Hamas scumbag, demon, savage bastards, okay, I'm talking to you. I'm telling you right now, he's not kidding. So you can f around. But I promise you, you're going to find out. And it's not going to be pretty when one of our spec ops teams is kicking down your door and a 5, 5, 6 round at thousands of feet per second penetrating your cerebral cortex. Ok, you're not going to. You, there's not going to be virgins waiting for you. There's only going to be a dirt pile. That is it. That is all that's going to happen. He is not kidding. I don't know why you think he's kidding. You thought he was kidding about Greenland in his first term. Now the media is like, oh, my gosh, he's not kidding. No, he's not kidding. And again, for all that there's. I see a couple swampies too out there. So I don't mean to get sidetracked. This is why I see some swampies on X. Donald Trump Needs to stay focused on inflation and the board. He is focused. They're already talking about the reconciliation bill legislation day one. What are you talking about? They're getting this thing moving right now. It's going to take time to put together. I hate stupid cliches, but sometimes the guy can walk and chew gum. We also have Americans who are being held hostage. It's kind of important, too. We also have strategic interests in keeping China out of Greenland, which, by the way, China's Belt Silk Road initiative. They're trying to gain access to even the Arctic. You think he's stupid, Donald Trump? If you think he's stupid, then why do you keep losing to him? Why 2016? 2020. 2024. Yes, all three. Why do you keep losing if you're so smart? He's so dumb, why do you keep getting your ass kicked? Even if you believe you won in 2020, which I don't, you still lost two out of three. And no, this isn't a Meatloaf song. Two out of three is bad. Some of you get that. Maybe I'm aging myself. All right, I want to move on to something else here because it's. There was a seismic shift yesterday, and I can't say this enough. By the way, I strongly encourage all of you to go and sign up for this Facebook Community Notes program. Folks, I'm telling every first, the fact checking program on Facebook is now done. So they're going to use a community notes thing. Liberals are now flocking over to be community noters, whatever you want to call them, folks. Sign up for it. Sign up for it and start. Community Notes has savage liberals on X, but it's only working because a bunch of conservatives are on there doing it. Facebook has a link for it. You can look it up. You can sign up to do Community notes there. Now you can do the fact checking. Now you can do what they did to us. Except we can actually use facts on the Facebook thing. I said yesterday. And you know, I'm getting used to this. I. I read an interesting piece this week, and I'm going to try to do this more. So I promise you in the new year, I'm making a commitment. I'm not telling you I'm going to be successful at it all the time, but I'm promising you. You guys ready? This is important. Okay? I'm going to stop trying to explain myself so much. I'm going to let my work explain itself. I read an interesting piece this weekend about that, about public figures, and they want to be Peggy Newman was right now public figures want to be understood. And she's right, they do. I don't need to be understood. My work needs to be understood. I say that because I'm tempted to do a 10 minute segment yesterday on how everybody misinterpreted what I said. You know what? Bottom line is, you can go watch what I said yesterday because I'm going to say it again here on Facebook. Everybody needs to hold. Do not get emotional. You want to get emotional, it's on you. I'm not going to explain myself anymore. I see a problem. Facebook's a big social media platform that is censored conservatives. Facebook is saying, we're now not going to censor conservatives. I'm saying, okay, I'll be watching. I heard you say it, now do it. I'm not emotional about it at all. You want to get emotional? That's your bag of donuts. There are millions of people we can convince to vote for us on this platform and we should take advantage of it. But we damn well better trust and verify. How do I know yesterday was a better moment for us than the left? If, if, if Facebook follows through? How do I know that? Because what folks, you said it before. Folks in the chat measure the effectiveness of something for us by the reaction of our enemies. If they're freaking out about it, it obviously means it's good for us. You don't have to be advanced in advance in game theory to understand them. Here's one of the biggest dipshit clowns in the media, Brian Stelter, a guy who's been wrong on just about every significant media story of our time. An intellectual zero, A overweight slob who can't control his eating habits. He's up there with Twinkies up in New York. They're probably partying on a bunch of Dunkin Donuts. Here's Stelter freaking out that Facebook is now saying, hey, listen, the fact checking thing didn't go great. You guys do your own fact checking. He don't want that. He wants to be in charge of the narrative because he likes to be wrong as long as it benefits them politically. Check this out. It gets this broader sense that when people like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg talk about free speech, everybody wants free speech, but it oftentimes seems that these tech CEOs actually are favoring or preferring a certain kind of speech. Right? They're favoring their own speech or their own political preferences and not the actual entire user or the community's speech. You know, the changes Announced by Meta today are very much a MAGA makeover, a private Trump makeover. And that's going to win Meta some conservative users, but it may repel some liberals. That's the same thing we've seen happen on Elon Musk's ex. He's turned into more of a right wing platform where he's pro free speech when it's really pro musk or pro Trump speech. Always, always, always measure the damage this is going to do to them. Understand Facebook attacked us for years. Fact, we were the number one page. You know, I saw Ben Shapiro put out a tweet yesterday saying the Daily Wire and he was the number one Facebook page for a while. And a bunch of you guys responds to Noah's bongino. He's not wrong, folks. I should be clear. We used to go back and you go back and look at Crowdtangle, you probably, I don't know if the data's completely disappeared. Maybe it's archived somewhere. Crowdtangle used to measure the reach of pages. He's not lying. I don't want you to think like I'm just trying to big league the guy or anything. It would be him, it'd be me, it'd be him, it'd be me. But if you look, you'll see in general, me and him were the number one Facebook pages in the world. I'm not telling you that the big league again or self praise things just because if anyone was attacked by Facebook again it was me. But Stelter's freaking out because conservative pages, me, Shapiro and others had this enormous reach where people were like, so what I need you to do on Facebook, test this out. And I, I'm not gonna lie, I. There's obviously a sense of self interest in this. I can't divorce and be phony to say otherwise. But it's not my primary reason. If you don't believe them and there was, we should verify because I've seen it myself on my own personal page and it seems to be working, at least for now. The algorithm appears to have changed. Do this little test today. Go to my page on the blue check mark Facebook page. Do it now while you're on the show. Anita, if you could put a link up there, I don't know if you know. And just like a couple posts and I guarantee you in probably an hour or so you start seeing more of my content. If it slows down and shuts down, we'll know they're full of shit. But I'm not getting emotional about it. I've got a problem. Problem is I've got to advance conservative ideas. I need platforms to do it. And Stelter's freaking out because he can't shut down me and Shapiro anymore. That's it. That's why. Here's Ari Melber from MSNBC hilariously claiming that this is really dangerous because now people are going to go to social media for news when they could go to reliable sources like msnbc, the peepee tape, Hunter Biden laptop. People, check this out. That's how Zuckerberg describes his new approach. Now, in this world we live in where people criticize and focus on traditional media and there's plenty of valid criticisms there, it is worth recalling, platforms like Facebook and Instagram now reach far more people than newspapers or television news. Zuckerberg is shifting towards less fact checking on these platforms that already have less fact checking. They have less reliable info than, say, news outlets which do try to get the facts and evidence first and then only report what they can confirm. It's really quite the opposite online. Zuckerberg's announcement does note this trade off. I want you to listen to this. You'll hear him in his own words. He basically says that there's more, quote, bad stuff that will be posted on Facebook that will be out there for you and your family to see and internalize and get into your brain and all that sort of question of the diet of information you have. There will be more bad stuff, he says, but that's the cost of erring on the side of not having other posts wrongly taken down. The reality is that this is a tradeoff. It means we're going to catch less bad stuff. Yeah, we don't need to hear that. You've heard the Mark Zuckerberg thing already, folks. They're freaking out for a reason. They've been able to lie to you forever and tell you Hunter Biden's laptop. Which laptop? Which Hunter Biden himself dropped off at the store himself somehow. It was Russian. Hunter Biden's Russian. Did I. Did we miss something? They've been able to tell. He might. Right? He might be. They've been able to tell you this for years. They've been able to get liberals to live in a fantasy land for years because of bullshit. Here's what I mean, too. I'm going to show you something else. Here's Stuart Thompson, by the way, remember Stewart who wrote the hit piece on us about Rumble just a few weeks ago? Stuart, one of the biggest assholes in the media. The New York Times. This is a real head Guys, you check this right? Like this is an accurate head. This is not the Babylon Bee meta. Facebook says fact checkers were the problem. Fact checkers rule that false. Stewart, you never fail to disappoint. This guy has got to be one of the most low IQ individuals, even in a space full of morons. You want to talk about a canoe? This guy. Is this a serious article? Fact checkers that were wrong about just about everything. They say it's false that they were the problem. Here's what I mean. They are losing control of the narrative, folks. Donald Trump, Elon Rumble, Chris over at Rumble Truth Social, they have been able to break down the wall between what's false and what's true and show you this, like, beautiful vista of freedom and liberty. And the media is freaked out because they live in a sea of lies. Everything they tell you is bullshit. Is a perfect example. I want you to watch this Canadian Green Party liberal politician. She's so offended that Donald Trump keeps bringing up this Canada issue, which is real. We've been protecting Canada forever. The Canadians, they know it. No one's going to invade Canada. I mean, the Canadian. I'm not knocking the Canadian military. People who serve are brave and I'm not. Don't take it the wrong way, but the hard reality is no one's invading North Americ America because of us. Here's this Canadian Green Party rep. Like, maybe we'll just go after California then, and Oregon or whatever. Yeah, okay, sure. Like this is somehow symmetric. You really want to go down that road and watch her talking about, by the way at the end, how great the health care is up in Canada? I'll show you how this is a fairy tale in a second. Check this out. Hey, Donald, have we got a deal for you. You think we want to be the 51st state? Nah. But maybe California would like to be the 11th province. How about it? California, Oregon, Washington. You've got geography in common. And not only that, we've already got a carbon trading system between California and Quebec. We've got some strong alliances on our west coast from British Columbia. There's been a lot of academic papers on the idea of Cascadia. Really? We should all absorb portions of the United States from Canada. I don't know how you would do that, by the way, because you have such a great health care system up there. Wow, that's fascinating. See, this is what happens when you get actual data. Fact checkers will get in the way and say, but 58% prefer this. Would you cross the border from Canada to the United States for health care. 42% of Canadians say yes. Wow, that's a lot, guys. That's almost half. I thought health care was free. If it's free and great and our sucks so bad, why would you pay for sucky health care? Kind of weird, right? Well, Dan, it's not like they actually cross the border and do it wrong again. Ballotpedia. Here's an actual fact check from a lefty site. Senator Ted Cruz said once in a debate that 52,000 Canadians left Canada get health care in the United States. They're like, well, here's the fact check. It's not exactly right. 52,000 Canadians actually did leave Canada, but it was 45,000 that went to the United States. The rest went elsewhere. That's their fact check. That's. That's their fact check. Now do you see why fact checkers are a laughing stock? 50,000 Canadians, their health care so free and wonderful that they leave to pay for it Again. Again. I thought it was free. No, it's not free. They're paying for it with massive taxes. So they're paying for it twice in another country because it sucks so bad. You see how people fall for this shit all the time. They got a good guy running for running up there, Pierre Polavier. We're not going to agree with him on everything. He put out a tweet about not being a 51st day. Of course he's going to put that. He's running, you know, he's running lead Canada. Okay? But here, this guy's pretty good. I want you to watch this guy explain to a group of liberal media people and a guy working there. Who's the guy with this union guy, this worker guy there about inflation. Folks, this is how it's done. This makes perfect sense. We need to explain things better. Check this out. Yes. What are the steps I need to be taken to fix the damages done to inflation? First and foremost, stop the oversupply. Inflation, high taxes, deficits, high interest rates are all symptoms. The disease is overspending. When governments spend too much money, there's only three ways to get it. One is to raise your taxes. The other is to borrow, which means that they'll tax you more later on. And the third way is to print money. Printing money seems like a painless way to pay for things, but. But it's very simple. If you have 10 apples and $10 in the economy, it's a bucket apple. If you double the number of dollars in the economy to 20, you still only have 10 apples, you're not twice as rich. It's just that each apple costs twice as much and that is a tax on the working people because it chews up the purchasing power of your paycheck only to pay for government excessive government spending and it balloons the apple asset values of the billionaires. Folks, how many times have I given you an example on the show about an island with chairs and a money drop? It's the exact same example as the apples. We need to explain things better. When you explain them simply, the ridiculousness of liberal ideas makes perfect sense. We can just print money to pay for government spending. Yeah, you can. That's what happens. Folks. Hope you like the show today. We've had an amazing run with Rumble. I told you about a huge investment into the company. Thank you for all of our shareholders and everyone else.
