Justin (2:32)

They didn't do it cryptically.

Dan Bongino (2:35)

And here's the deal. You don't have to give up quality or service when you switch to Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access on all three major US Networks so you get the same or better coverage than you have today. The coverage is fantastic. Think switching's a hassle?

Justin (2:48)

It is not.

Dan Bongino (2:50)

Keep your number, keep your phone or upgrade. Their 100%. US based customer support team can activate you in minutes. Still paying off a device, no problem. Patriot Mobile even offers a contract buyout. How are you going to beat that? This is a defining year. We got to work together and save this amazing country. Go to patriot mobile.com dan or call 972 Patriot. Use promo code DAN for a free month of service.

Justin (3:16)

What a deal.

Dan Bongino (3:17)

A lot of savings out there. That's patriotmobile.com dan for great wireless service. Or call 972-patriot and make the switch today.

Justin (3:26)

Fellas, on a Friday.

Dan Bongino (3:28)

Let's get this party started. Got a big weekend ahead. A lot going on in the Dan Bongino household. I'm excited, traveling a little bit this weekend. But I will be back on Monday, rare and a go with another, you know, electric show ready for you. You saw the post last night on True Social. I was sitting at home, I was in the gym. Working out? No, I just the gym. I have the little gym in my house in one of the garages over there. And I was this, this piece of equipment I use at night, kind of really good for, you know, getting you in a good spot. And I see the True Social post by Donald Trump. You know, he is really understandably pissed off. You saw the post about Tucker, Megan, Candace and Alex Jones have been fighting me for years, especially by the fact they think it's wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon. You can read the whole thing out there. It's quite long. I heard this morning it was 500 words. I didn't count them. I assume that's about right. But I'm going to tell you what I, what I, from what I'm hearing, a lot of this is understandably about. You got yesterday a teaser. If you ever want to get a good look into Donald Trump's mind. One of the guys closest to him is an amazing guy who he's been with President Trump way before, way before anyone else in politics. It's Dan Scavino. Dan Scavino's in the White House with Mao, one of his right hand guys. He is a patriot, loves his country.

Justin (5:04)

I showed you a tweet by him

Dan Bongino (5:05)

yesterday in the show and ex post yesterday that you can kind of get a preview about what this stuff is about that listen, they're interested in people who are you know, they're not shutting out people who have criticized, principally criticized on principle. Some of the things that have happened in the administration, they don't. I know that because I disagree with President Trump on some things, and he's never once said to me in a phone call or anything else, like, how dare you disagree? All I think he asks is that if you have a point, make it, but back it up. Don't just, like, throw stuff out there like, President Trump's got early onset Alzheimer's disease.

Justin (5:44)

Like, that's just stupid. You sound like a raving freaking lunatic. It's all fake outrage porn. The president's tired of it, man. Just. Just be one of his opponents.

Dan Bongino (5:57)

He's not telling. You don't have the right to say it.

Justin (6:00)

You do. Of course you have the right to say it, but it's just stupid is the point. Do you have some principled objection or not? His objection is not to.

Dan Bongino (6:10)

I don't like the Iran war. I don't like tariffs. I don't like your stance on abortion.

Justin (6:15)

That's not his beef. His beef is you're simply engaging in outrage porn. You're virally injecting into the human host

Dan Bongino (6:26)

a bullshit narrative about my mental state,

Justin (6:28)

and then you're pretending to be one of my friends.

Dan Bongino (6:33)

Folks, I'm sorry to tell you, but I've been in this business a long, long time, and I am sorry to tell you this because I wish I didn't have to.

Justin (6:43)

A lot of the people you put

Dan Bongino (6:45)

faith in, this business in general, behind the scenes, are totally different people. Alex Jones is full of shit.

Justin (6:56)

I don't know how. I don't. Whether you. I don't really care. You want to listen to his show? You have.

Dan Bongino (7:01)

Fine, that. Go right ahead.

Justin (7:05)

This guy is a fraud.

Dan Bongino (7:08)

I will never forget, early on in my political career when I was running for office, I got invited on. I did the network infowars a couple of times early on. Listen, I was young in the business, whatever. I went on the show figuring, might as well talk to people. You get your name out there and it's during, like, a break before I come on, and I'm just telling you, like, the conversation was so disturbing. Oh, well, I'm just gonna, like, do it anyway, because that's what the audience said. I was like, well, it's probably not a good idea. It's not exactly true. That's what they were.

Justin (7:46)

I couldn't believe it. The guy's a total fake and a phony. It's not real. It's all bullshit.

Dan Bongino (7:59)

I did a hit on Fox last night and I was talking about on Laura Ingraham show last night how it's

Justin (8:06)

really hard over time to constantly fake being authentic when you're not authentic. If you're authentic, you don't have to try. You know, someone asked me once, they say when you give speeches, you don't use notes.

Dan Bongino (8:18)

I said, well, I don't need notes. I just believe in the stuff. Like if you asked me to give

Justin (8:22)

a speech about how much I love

Dan Bongino (8:23)

my, my two daughters, I don't need

Justin (8:26)

to write it down. I can just tell you because that's how I feel. The thing about being inauthentic and a bullshitter is it takes a lot of work because you have to constantly cover up all of your lies in the past by saying things that were not real. He has guests on his show all the time who tell you this.

Dan Bongino (8:45)

Tomorrow, Keshe Patel is going to be fired.

Justin (8:48)

And then tomorrow comes and everybody pretends it didn't happen. Did you guys notice that Everybody just moves. Do you ever get tired of being lied to? He has guests on the show, the FBI.

Dan Bongino (8:59)

I remember that.

Justin (8:59)

I never forget this one.

Dan Bongino (9:01)

I was at the bureau, like two months or so. I see this tweet go out there, the FBI knows the identity of the pipe bomber. It's hiding it from you.

Justin (9:11)

I was like, shit, man, that's news to me. And it was weird. Then when we go out and we

Dan Bongino (9:19)

make an arrest in the case and all subjects are innocent till proven guilty, of course, however we go out, make

Justin (9:25)

an arrest in a case, it was like that tweet never happened. It was weird because then they claimed in this some of the same people was a different person. I'm like, what story is it? Do you ever get tired of being lied to? Do you read Times? I've read tweets of this guy's leaving the mark.

Dan Bongino (9:43)

This guy's getting.

Justin (9:44)

And it doesn't happen, folks, at some point, like, people crave authentic folks, even

Dan Bongino (9:51)

if you disagree with them.

Justin (9:53)

And that's Trump. He does not have in his cabinet. I don't.

Dan Bongino (9:59)

I never sat in cabinet meetings. I just want to be clear and sound like some fake flex. I was not a cabinet member at all. I was at the deputy level. However, I've been at meetings with cabinet members in like the Sit Room and others. Again, not a flex, just true.

Justin (10:13)

And folks, I'm telling you, like, there are a number of people in his cabinet who have a ton of different opinions on various issues. He doesn't Fire him. He doesn't fire them. He doesn't say get out of here because you disagree with me. That doesn't happen. All he asks is if you have a disagreement, be authentic.

Dan Bongino (10:34)

I was on Laura Ingraham show last night and we were discussing exactly this. Now this clip about a minute 30. But I don't like playing clips of myself from last night because I just talk about it again. But this is important.

Justin (10:44)

Important.

Dan Bongino (10:44)

And I'd rather just not repeat the whole damn thing. But I did this hit last night

Justin (10:49)

and Laura had asked me about the

Dan Bongino (10:51)

Democrats newfound love affair with cursing. All the Democrats are dropping F bombs now. F this, F that.

Justin (10:58)

And I said, listen man, I don't really mind the cursing.

Dan Bongino (11:03)

Like I do it. I try not to.

Justin (11:05)

However, the fact that it bothers people so much, it bothers him because it's not real, it's fake. And nothing pisses Trump off more than fake bullshit. Like hey, the 25th Amendment, they just made that up. They knew it would be outrage porn. They knew it would get them clicks

Dan Bongino (11:21)

and earn them money.

Justin (11:23)

So Alex Jones just made that whole thing up.

Dan Bongino (11:26)

He knows the guy's fine.

Justin (11:28)

He's just making it up to piss you off. How many times you want to be lied to?

Dan Bongino (11:31)

It was me on Ingram about this non genuine inauthentic angle to the Democrats,

Justin (11:36)

but this applies to the doomer crowd too.

Dan Bongino (11:38)

Check this out.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick (11:39)

News contributor, former FBI Deputy Director Dan.

Dan Bongino (11:43)

I just love this.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick (11:43)

The Democrats with their F bombs and

Dan Bongino (11:46)

their tough tweets and their.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick (11:48)

And they're trying to be manly. And how revealing is this to you about their future?

Dan Bongino (11:55)

Well, listen, let me just be candid in front of the audience. I am not one to throw stones at dropping F bombs. I've been known to do it on my show. I try not to. I'm not telling you it's the right thing to do. Kids, eat your spinach. Don't drop F bombs.

Justin (12:08)

However, it's not the Democrats newfound love

Dan Bongino (12:11)

affair with foul language that bothers me. It doesn't. I grew up in Queens. I just grew up around that kind of language.

Justin (12:17)

It's the.

Dan Bongino (12:17)

As you kind of hinted to in your monologue there, it's the non genuine inauthenticity of it.

Justin (12:23)

It's the. Remember the Liz Warren. Hey honey, you like a beer? It was just so fake. It wasn't that Liz Warren drank a beer on like an Instagram reels. It was so forced and fake that even the husband seemed caught off guard.

Dan Bongino (12:37)

Like what?

Justin (12:38)

Like you've never had a beer before. It was just so fake and phony. And what bothers me about it is it's clearly calculated because the Democrats have

Dan Bongino (12:46)

lost the middle class.

Justin (12:47)

There are only two groups of people

Dan Bongino (12:48)

who are Democrats now, only two.

Justin (12:51)

There's these super rich Karens who they can be whatever they want because it

Dan Bongino (12:54)

doesn't really matter, so they can live in the world of ideas.

Justin (12:57)

And there's unfortunately really poor folks who've been given money by the Democrats taking

Dan Bongino (13:03)

money from the super rich to pay them off.

Justin (13:05)

They've lost the middle class completely. So they think if they go out and do the Ruben Gallego and drop a few F bombs inauthentically, that all of a sudden a bunch of working class coal miners from West Virginia are

Dan Bongino (13:16)

going to, you know, clamor to vote Democrat again.

Justin (13:19)

I don't think it's going to work.

Dan Bongino (13:20)

I think it's a really poor strategy.

Justin (13:23)

You see the bot army, by the

Dan Bongino (13:25)

way, show up in the chat. The show's live. Like I, when I'm listening to these clips, I can watch the chat just like you. I mean, I'm the host, but I also consume the show too.

Justin (13:36)

You see the rage bots, how they never refute what you actually say. There it is.

Dan Bongino (13:42)

Right, thanks. You guys zoom it in as if they don't know what, what an, what an iPad is.

Justin (13:47)

I watch this show too. They never refute what you actually said. Let me just make this really simple

Dan Bongino (13:53)

for the rage bots.

Justin (13:55)

Hello, dipshits. This is for you. Non dipshits. You can tune out. Dipshits, this is for you. Do you have any evidence that Donald

Dan Bongino (14:05)

Trump has some kind of like advanced stage dementia or Alzheimer's?

Justin (14:09)

Any at all?

Dan Bongino (14:10)

Some kind of a blood test, a neurofibrillary tangle and amyloid plaque? Do you know a psychiatrist? Have you seen a psychologist, someone with a PsyD?

Justin (14:20)

PhD, MD? Do you have any evidence at all that that that's true? Okay, you have none. So you're just making it up. So you like to be lied to, so you're just telling everyone in the chat your redemption. What about his claim on the show a couple of weeks ago? There's a big tweet about it.

Dan Bongino (14:41)

Cash was going to be fired tomorrow.

Justin (14:44)

It's like seven or eight tomorrows later. Does that not so he was wrong. Correct. Dipshits, this is for you. Hello, dipshits. Everybody paying attention? Non dip shits.

Dan Bongino (14:57)

Not for you.

Justin (15:03)

Was he or was he not fired? He was not. So that was a lie? Correct. You were lied to? Yes. So you like being lied To Yes. Yeah. You're a dipshit. You're just stupid. Do you have any evidence to refute what I'm saying? You have no evidence Donald Trump is

Dan Bongino (15:24)

mentally compromised at all. Matter of fact, if anything here breaking exclusive this is Alec Jones, Alex Jones, Cash Patel to be fired by. What was this?

Justin (15:34)

April 2nd. What's that even know the date? What's the date today? What is it?

Dan Bongino (15:40)

The 10th?

Justin (15:41)

So we're talking about eight days later, correct? I don't know folks.

Dan Bongino (15:45)

I wasn't a math major.

Justin (15:46)

But is he going to like delete that? Is he going to apologize? If this was just one incident, by the way, I'd be like, okay, whatever. He does this all the time. How many times are you going to be lied to?

Dan Bongino (16:05)

I hate doing this stuff. I really do.

Justin (16:09)

I've known about this guy for years.

Dan Bongino (16:10)

Have you ever seen me go back and look, if you're bored, you'd have to be really bored.

Justin (16:15)

But if you're really bored on the

Dan Bongino (16:17)

weekend we have probably a couple thousand shows up on Rumble on on old when I used to put my video on YouTube and other places you can

Justin (16:27)

go look to all of them.

Dan Bongino (16:29)

I hate this stuff. I never brought this up before.

Justin (16:33)

I never went after anyone. They went after me.

Dan Bongino (16:36)

I didn't really respond because I didn't

Justin (16:39)

feel the need to.

Dan Bongino (16:39)

I told you, don't over explain.

Justin (16:42)

However, when it becomes an issue, so

Dan Bongino (16:45)

much so the President United States has to address it. There's, there's no running away from any of that. You're going to address it because it's become a big problem.

Justin (16:54)

It's nothing but doomerism and total complete horseshit. That's all it is, is made up outrage porn. That post should be tier one level evidence that you're being suckered. Nobody in the chat, the rage bots. Nobody in the chat can answer was he wrong or not? Just ask the. Ask the chat raid bot, rage bots who come in. Was that tweet accurate or not?

Dan Bongino (17:22)

No, it was a lie.

Justin (17:23)

Okay? We're right, you're wrong. I didn't even address it at the time because I knew it was stupid. Now let's get to some important stuff

Dan Bongino (17:36)

because I really, really hate. I cannot stand wasting time on this garbage.

Justin (17:44)

It is. I mean it is. There's an opportunity cost to this. 20 minutes into the show we lost 20 minutes taken on the left because we have to address this because it's now made it into the White House.

Dan Bongino (18:00)

I want to get into this GB news piece, folks.

Justin (18:05)

Have we ever done this before.

Dan Bongino (18:06)

Rarely do we play clips more than like a minute, minute and a half, two minutes even two minutes. Justin's like eh, two minutes. This is five minutes. I'm not going to play the whole thing in straight through. As I said before, I'm going to stop it at certain points. But this is one of the best five minute pieces I've ever seen. And take a break first. That's a cue for you guys on what Donald Trump, who the doomers are telling you is mentally compromised, is actually doing with Iran right now. It is so good. It is a must watch piece of material. Hat tip to GB News for putting it up. Quick break here folks. I said in the beginning of the show and I meant it. The whole censorship brigade, if you think they're done and they just chalked it up and said, hey, we lost, you are out of your mind. I see this all over on social. They are just waiting to get back in charge to take control of you. Your money, a central bank, digital currency, all of it.

Justin (19:04)

Big, huge, enormous problem.

Dan Bongino (19:06)

We got to fight back. Rumble is one of the few platforms that's consistently stood for free speech over and over and over again. Just look it up. Taken on nation states over this. Now Rumble's taking the fight to the financial world with Rumble Wallet, where you control your money. It's not a bank, it's not a government, it's not a tech company.

Okay, this is Alex Armstrong from GB News talking about the Trump grand strategy here. And as you're listening to this, I want you to keep in the back of your head, tie it to the beginning of the show. You want to see why Trump was off. You want to mention the 25th Amendment, that he somehow got mental problems that needs to be removed from office.

Justin (20:40)

Really?

Dan Bongino (20:40)

Does a guy with mental problems engage in a strategy like this? Start the clip.

Alex Armstrong (20:45)

Here's the truth about this war that nobody wants to tell you. It isn't about toppling Iran's regime, before you ask. It's about reshaping the global world order. And I think that's happening right now. And I want to tell you how Britain is staring down the barrel of a dark age we haven't seen for over a thousand years. This all comes, of course, as President Trump says, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran if the key shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. Of course, lots of expletives there we have blurred out for you. But this is bigger than a headline or a truth social post in this war. And the evidence is not actually being kept from us. We're just blind to to seeing it because nobody's talking about it. America has made no secret of its new doctrine. It is stepping back from being the world's police and repositioning itself as a powerful self reliant fortress.

Justin (21:48)

That is why President Trump has drawn a new strategic map from Greenland to the Gulf of America to the Panama Canal and its surrounding countries. At the Department of War, we call this strategic map the Greater North America.

Alex Armstrong (22:02)

Interesting stuff, isn't it? So what does America actually gain from this war before we get onto the Greater North America? Well, let's look at a map here, shall we? I'll bring this up for you. The Strait of Hormuz, you can see there is one of the most critical energy choke points on this planet. It is also a whopping 45% of China's oil price flowing through it. That is a lot of oil.

Dan Bongino (22:28)

Okay to timeout. Not Terrell Owens first. About minute a half of that.

Justin (22:36)

You see where we're going with this?

Dan Bongino (22:37)

Does this sound like a mentally compromised president? The President has now figured out that

Justin (22:44)

make America great again.

Dan Bongino (22:46)

And America first means America first.

Justin (22:49)

Which is really weird because some of his haters that have picked the Iran

Dan Bongino (22:53)

wars, the schism point to call for

Justin (22:55)

him to be removed from office due to the 25th Amendment, don't understand that in his grand strategy here. Donald Trump, in his, you see the Pete Hagseth clip in there as well, has determined through what they jokingly call

Dan Bongino (23:09)

the Don Row doctrine to take on the Monroe doctrine.

Justin (23:12)

He has figured out that we are

Dan Bongino (23:14)

not going to be the global policeman anymore.

Justin (23:18)

That there has been a de facto. And you'll see.

Dan Bongino (23:21)

The host goes on and talks about this a little bit more in detail.

Justin (23:24)

There has been a de facto security guarantee in the Straits of Hormuz for these free rider countries around the world. The straits where a lot of the oil, as he just showed you, a

Dan Bongino (23:35)

lot of the oil from the Gulf transports itself through the strait. Well, not itself on tankers. Right.

Justin (23:41)

There has been this kind of quiet blanket guarantee that insurance companies have taken into account.

Dan Bongino (23:47)

Oh, nothing's going to happen. The Americans will come and rescue us.

Justin (23:50)

Meanwhile, we don't even get a lot of our oil from there. So it's kind of weird that the crowd from the inside the tent that claims to hate Donald Trump, want some 25th Amendment removed from office, is saying that this isn't an America first move. This is like an Israel first move. What? It has nothing to do with that at all. It's Trump saying we are going to mow the lawn over there, take care of a threat that threatens America.

Dan Bongino (24:17)

America First.

Justin (24:18)

A nuclear threat from Iran. But we are not going to stay there endlessly anymore and secure this straight so that the entire world gets oil cheaper because we're the de facto security guard. Does that sound like someone who's just stupid and needs to be removed from office because of mental faculty problems, or does that sound like Donald Trump is saying America first means let's protect our backyard first, our North American hemisphere here, because that's what's going to directly impact us. Let's take care of a potential nuclear power that would try to penetrate that

Dan Bongino (25:02)

with an ICBM when they get one.

Justin (25:04)

But guys, we're not going to be the security guard at the straight anymore because we are not the rest of the globe first. We're America first. You want your oil, Go freaking get it. He's actually said that in true social posts. You understand how some of the people are using this Israeli wedge issue because they want you to just like be obsessed with. That's all they talk about, Israel and the Jews. They want you to get off target from the fact that this is America First.

Dan Bongino (25:35)

Go on through it.

Alex Armstrong (25:37)

That is a lot of oil that China needs. But it isn't just Iran. Cast your minds back to January this year where Trump effectively has now captured Venezuela and declared its oil is under their control. And if you have a look at this graph, who there in the red relies heavily on that oil? Well, it looks like China.

Justin (26:00)

Here's another one. A lot of these same critics said, I can't believe Donald Trump went into Venezuela and got rid of a dictator that hates the United States. This is like regime change number one. For as much as I'd like to see that regime gone, it was not regime change. The vice president basically took up. Not, not a great individual, but is

Dan Bongino (26:24)

more cooperative with the United States.

Justin (26:25)

And we have effectively taken over the oil market in Venezuela, which you can see on the screen right now, where we stop. A lot of that Venezuelan oil used to go to finance China that hates us, the Chinese Communist Party. So now, while simultaneously telling the rest of the world China and others who get their oil. I know this is the doomer class is too stupid to process this because they think Donald Trump is so dumb

Dan Bongino (26:51)

and he's got like dementia or something.

Justin (26:53)

Here's Trump's calculus. Very simple.

Dan Bongino (26:55)

Keep this up for a second.

Justin (26:58)

You guys get your oil from that shop down on Broadway. Okay, fine. We're not going to put a security guard to make sure the shop on Broadway doesn't get robbed anymore. However, there's another shop down on Lexington that used to sell to the bad guys, too, but now sells to us. So now we're going to go and put a security guard down there to make sure we can get our energy

Dan Bongino (27:21)

needs satisfied while you guys have to deal with the Broadway place.

Justin (27:25)

We just want to make sure the

Dan Bongino (27:26)

Broadway place doesn't plan a bomb at our place, too. What an idiot.

Justin (27:31)

He's so stupid. Definitely remove him from office 100%. You got.

Dan Bongino (27:36)

You guys have legions of evidence. That's true. I'm sure Alex would have a better plan.

Justin (27:42)

He should run.

Dan Bongino (27:43)

Maybe he's got a better idea. All right, play it again.

Alex Armstrong (27:48)

Well, it looks like China to me. Now, consider the impeccable timing of all of this. Since January, America is right in the middle of a tariff and trade negotiation with the very stubborn and very powerful, might I add, Chinese government who are not budging on Donald Trump's arrangements here. Well, look who's got the upper hand all of a sudden. It's America. They are now controlling the vast swathes of oil that China needs. That puts them in a very strong position going forward on these tariff agreements. And Europe is also getting hit hard a lot with this. With Russian energy totally off the table and domestic energy security weakened by this leftist obsession with net zero, Europe is becoming increasingly dependent on external oil supply and energy supply. And that puts America again in a very strong.

Justin (28:47)

Did you hear what he just said? Now, ladies and gentlemen, again for the

Dan Bongino (28:52)

dipshit class who thinks Donald Trump has an amyloid plaque problem and needs to be removed from office. Does this sound like strategy or just crazy blind luck?

Justin (29:03)

He's just lucky all the time.

Dan Bongino (29:04)

Trump, zero illegal migrants at the border. Crime rate drops to the lowest in US history, Inflation's under control. We've had some healthy GDP growth.

Justin (29:14)

All luck, folks.

Dan Bongino (29:16)

From the amyloid plaque guy in the White House. He just doesn't figure.

Justin (29:19)

Kids can't figure. It's just luck.

Dan Bongino (29:21)

It is lucky.

Justin (29:23)

Do you see where he went with this?

Dan Bongino (29:25)

This is brilliant. This guy is just amazing. The fact that this aired on a foreign network is amazing. Donald Trump uses the tariffs to gain economic leverage over Europe that for years has asymmetrically used that weapon against us. He now has them at the point our European allies, where he says, listen, you want to be friends, then act like friends. On the economic front now, on the security front. Ha.

Justin (29:52)

What does he do? You want to be friends, act like freakin friends. Because now we're not going to trade with you on a reciprocal basis and let you do the right thing. And even worse, if you can't trade with us, you're going to have to trade with others and you're going to need energy to do it. And now we're not going to be your security best buddy either. If you're not willing to contribute to

Dan Bongino (30:13)

this relationship too, why, folks, tune out now, if you're in the dipshit class, this is way too advanced for you. Because Europe for years has engaged in this BS Net zero environmental garbage.

Justin (30:29)

We're going to put windmills all over Germany and everywhere else. We're not going to burn that dirty oil anymore. And what's happened, it's led to a near collapse of European economies. Maybe outside of France, that's a little

Dan Bongino (30:43)

bit heavier in the nuclear space because

Justin (30:45)

they don't have enough energy because the wind doesn't blow all day. So what do they need?

Dan Bongino (30:50)

What's the backup system to energy?

Justin (30:52)

Anybody know?

Dan Bongino (30:53)

Justin, redeem yourself. The answer is petrochemicals, natural gas and oil.

Justin (30:59)

Wait, I thought they were trying to get to net zero. No, what they're trying to get to is not starvation right now. They're trying to get to net zero starvation. So where do they need that oil and natural gas from? Well, if they can't get it from the Straits of Hormuz and the Persian

Dan Bongino (31:18)

Gulf, because there's gonna be a huge premium to pay going forward because the United States is not gonna be the

Justin (31:23)

security guard there anymore. Who do you have to get it from any guests? Josh, where you would get that from? Who's an exporter of natural gas? Josh is like, holy shit, that's the United States, man. Guys, a genius. Josh.

Dan Bongino (31:37)

I like Josh. He's not a jeans, he's very smart.

Justin (31:42)

But maybe, maybe President Trump was thinking that Josh is like, no, he's just lucky.

Dan Bongino (31:47)

Again, Dan, it's not a strategy. President Trump just goes into office, eats like Domino's pizza. He just makes it up.

Justin (31:55)

25th Amendment. The Europeans have starved themselves of the energy to power their economy.

Dan Bongino (32:03)

They now need lng, liquefied natural gas and petrochemicals because they're realizing their economies are collapsing.

Justin (32:10)

They used to get it from the

Dan Bongino (32:12)

straits where we provided security for them at a great cost to us, free to them.

Justin (32:19)

Donald Trump takes out the nuclear threat, tells them, you know what, we're out of here soon.

Dan Bongino (32:22)

Go get your own freaking oil.

Justin (32:25)

And now the Europeans are like, man,

Dan Bongino (32:27)

we gotta, we got ourselves a problem.

Justin (32:35)

The Europeans, Justin just put up another good point. Where else could they get it from? Oh, they get it from Russia. The Europeans are busy lecturing Trump about how Russia is such a threat, they better arm Ukraine. You see how the Europeans with a military capability, not even in our ballpark, have nowhere to go. They have been completely castrated by balls, have been removed with a scalpel. There's nothing they can do, not economically, not militarily. They need us. Told you.

Alex Armstrong (33:07)

This clip is worth your time supply and energy supply. And that puts America again in a very strong position because we will soon be wholly dependent on American supplies of oil and gas. They will dictate terms and use energy as leverage, not just economically, but geopolitically too. And what do we know that they really want Greenland. They want Greenland. They've made that very clear. And they didn't get it yet. So the longer this war drags on, the more dependent the world is becoming. On the usa, and it's not accidental. What we're seeing is, is the emergence of what you heard from Pete Hegseth there, the Secretary of State for War, and described by Donald Trump as the greater North America. It is stretching from Greenland down through the Panama Canal, securing the entire hemisphere as a self sufficient economic. And.

Dan Bongino (34:12)

If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, you when I first got in there and the job, they were really clear about this, the White House, the administration,

Justin (34:27)

that we're not going to let you

Dan Bongino (34:28)

threaten assets in our hemisphere, the Panama Canal and others. It's actually a. For those of you Worked with me in the FBI who are watching some of you. Do you know that I was obsessed with the Panama Canal early as well? Cyberattacks and things like that. Why? Because the administration is obsessed with the Panama Canal, Canada, Greenland and others. Why? Because they care about a canal or Canada? No, that's not the point. They care about parochial interests in our hemisphere, which could cause a grave danger to America.

Justin (35:02)

It is the most America first policy you've ever seen. Can I just tell you the policy? What it is?

Dan Bongino (35:09)

Don't F around in our backyard. There it is. You want to hear the Don Row doctrine? That's it.

Justin (35:14)

He may not have said that directly,

Dan Bongino (35:15)

but I promise you he means it.

Justin (35:17)

Do not F around in our backyard.

Dan Bongino (35:20)

Not Greenland, not Canada, not on the Mexican border and not in the Panama Canal.

Justin (35:27)

Because if we have to use the

Dan Bongino (35:28)

canal to resupply our Pacific or Atlantic forces, we don't want to go down through South America and the southern points of Argentina to have to resupply our people.

Justin (35:42)

I know this is above the heads of Alex Jones and others who want

Dan Bongino (35:47)

to again want Trump out of office.

Justin (35:49)

I know they can't comprehend this, so

Dan Bongino (35:52)

they have to blame it on some mental instability by the President because they're too stupid to figure out what's happening.

Justin (35:58)

This is a foreign news host who gets it. You Europeans are on the other side. You may claim you're our allies if you don't act like it. You're not our allies, you're not our financial allies, and we're not going to be your cops anymore over here. We're going to be our own cops and we're going to do whatever we need to keep America first. You want your freaking oil? Go and get it. Or else you could come to us because we have a lot of it. Because. Because we're freaking floating on it. That's why.

Dan Bongino (36:30)

I thought he was dumb, the President. He was lucky. All right, wrap this video up.

Alex Armstrong (36:37)

Bribed by Donald Trump as the greater North America. It is stretching from Greenland down through the Panama Canal, securing the entire hemisphere as a self sufficient economic and security zone for the United States of America. But guess who's not on there?

Dan Bongino (36:54)

Europe.

Alex Armstrong (36:55)

We are not part of America's future plans as it withdraws from the world. And it isn't just a coincidence that the United Kingdom has been targeted the most by Trump and America of late. The UK is internationally renowned for its special relationship with America. Trump is signaling that that relationship is over, not just to us, but to everyone else around us. And frankly, it's Keir Starmer gave him ample reason to do so, of course, but also because Trump can now point to our allies and say, you all let us down. And in his own words, as he said, we won't forget it. It is the perfect reason for America to withdraw from the global stage. So no more global policing, no more endless foreign commitments, just a fortified, resource rich power base that others have no choice but to rely on. That is the new America. And that brings us to Britain, because the consequences for us will be catastrophic. Right now, we are dangerously exposed. We have no energy security, we import around 60% of our food, we have no major industry. Our military is decimated as we're hearing time and time again. And politically, we are deeply fractured. Now, even culturally, we are crumbling at the seams, dominated by global political issues like Gaza, climate fanaticism and movements like BLM that frankly have nothing to do with the state of play in Britain. The things that once united us, our faith and our national identity, are now pulling us apart due to years of left wing globalism. Unless we act quickly and decisively, Britain risks entering a dark age as America retreats. One that we haven't seen for over a thousand years.

Dan Bongino (38:57)

I haven't done that, I think, ever played a clip that long. Some of you may like it, some of you may not. I'm sorry, I have to get that on the record. These shows are all recorded. They're. This is live, obviously, but it goes on VOD and video on demand. It stays there forever. I thought that clip was so important. I want it on the record because I don't know what's going to happen. I could get in a car accident tomorrow, God forbid, hope it doesn't happen. I'm not sick, I'm not dying. I'm not. I don't want to sound apocalyptic, but I'm not going six feet deep without putting that out there. So you understand, because I saw it. Yeah.

Justin (39:37)

I was not the Secretary of State, folks.

Dan Bongino (39:39)

I'm not gonna pretend that was the world's lead diplomat.

Justin (39:42)

I was not. I was a piece in a larger

Dan Bongino (39:44)

puzzle in the Trump administration.

Justin (39:47)

But I'm telling you from direct experience

Dan Bongino (39:49)

and I'm begging you to listen to me.

Justin (39:54)

Nothing he is doing.

Dan Bongino (39:55)

That is the President of the United States. Donald Trump is by accident. It is all America first. And I think that's what's. And I don't think I know that's what's bothering him in the administration the most, is that there are people out

Justin (40:11)

there pretending to be part of our movement who know that, who know it and are outward. Outrage, porn, rage baiting all day to

Dan Bongino (40:21)

keep their clicks and their financial stream going on.

Justin (40:27)

Just pure bullshit. Everything he's doing has a reason. Everything. The maximalist Greenland stuff.

Dan Bongino (40:39)

My gosh, I can't believe no one's ever talked about Greenland before.

Justin (40:42)

No, people have talked about Greenland. Greenland. They just didn't have the balls to say it like he did.

Dan Bongino (40:48)

Man, we haven't heard about the Panama Canal in years.

Justin (40:50)

Those conversations were going on how it's a national security interest of the United States. Make no mistake, just no one had the balls to do anything about it.

Dan Bongino (41:00)

Oh, you don't want to upset Panama.

Justin (41:03)

Well, I don't want to upset the United States. God forbid we do get into the World War 62, all of the Grifter class predicted would happen. How do you think we're going to resupply our, our military facilities on the Atlantic and Pacific? Have you have even thought that through? Because I promise you this White House did. They started asking questions that have been sitting there below the waterline for years and they just brought him out into the open. That's why I love that analogy Griff

Dan Bongino (41:34)

Jenkins brought up yesterday in that clip from Fox that you want to talk about.

Justin (41:37)

Taco.

Dan Bongino (41:38)

Bunch of assholes. Nacho.

Justin (41:42)

Nacho.

Dan Bongino (41:43)

Trump never basically avoids these complicated obstacles.

Justin (41:48)

These are things people have discussed for

Dan Bongino (41:50)

years and never done a damn thing about the Iranian nuclear problem, the threat of an attack on the Panama Canal. I don't mean a physical attack. Well, that could happen to a cyber attack that would shut down the canal.

Justin (42:04)

You think Alex Jones has thought about that? The relationship with Canada on our border

Dan Bongino (42:12)

and the economic warfare about dairy products and elsewhere.

Justin (42:15)

These things have been going on for years. You just don't like that Trump airs them out in public and creates maximalist pressure. So what do you do?

Dan Bongino (42:25)

Guy should definitely be removed from office. Cash Patel is going to be fired eight tomorrows ago. I'm really sorry if you fell for this. I am, I'm sorry you wasted your time. I'm not doing that. Folks. Of course there are a lot of good things happening and this, you know, nothing is happening. Doomer class, 25th Amendment class of people.

Justin (42:51)

Trump's tired of it.

Dan Bongino (42:53)

The Maga movement's tired of it.

Justin (42:56)

What you're seeing right now put up

Dan Bongino (42:58)

that Nikita Beer tweet. I know it was later in the show. Nikita Beer is an executive at Twitter. He's been running the show over there. X called now I call it a Twitter. I'm sorry it's just instinct, folks.

Justin (43:08)

You see, if you're online, I live online.

Dan Bongino (43:11)

If you're online and you're on X,

Justin (43:13)

I promise you, you are going to get a filtered version of the world.

Dan Bongino (43:16)

I'm not telling you X is all fake. There's a lot of very concerned people on X. I'm telling you a good portion of it.

Justin (43:23)

X knows they have a problem. You're on there. You really believe this stuff, that there's a mass rebellion against Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. And then you see polls like on CNN 90, 100% support the MAGA movement for Trump. And you're like, well, why on X all day does it sound like everyone wants Donald Trump impeached from office? This is why. Here is an executive at X.

Dan Bongino (43:45)

He says, pour one out tonight for the reply bots. This week is going to hurt.

Justin (43:49)

Then he talks about how they're nuking 208 bot accounts per minute and growing. Folks, it's not real. It's one or two outrage porn people. The ratio is probably a thousand to one for every one authentic voice out. I'm not talking about authentic like they mean.

Dan Bongino (44:07)

I'm talking authentic like it's a real person.

Justin (44:09)

There's probably upwards of a thousand fake

Dan Bongino (44:13)

rage bots out there.

Justin (44:15)

I told you the test. Go online and say, just do try this.

Dan Bongino (44:20)

Go on Twitter, start an account on X. Now that Nikita and X and Elon are cleaning it up, you may get less of an effect, but it's still there. I see it every day.

Justin (44:30)

Go post some. Whether you believe it or just do

Dan Bongino (44:32)

this test post like, I think this Iran war and Donald Trump are a great idea.

Justin (44:38)

And then 10 minutes later, post the exact opposite. Watch. Watch the difference between both.

Dan Bongino (44:43)

Watch the reply bots.

Justin (44:44)

You can see them. Do the test yourself.

Dan Bongino (44:48)

You'll be like, wow, damn, wasn't lying. It's fake, it's not real. The MAGA movement is well aligned. People are very satisfied. I'm not going to say it's 100% satisfaction with every item out there because

Justin (45:04)

that's not the way politics works.

Dan Bongino (45:06)

You know, it's not Kim Jong Un who runs for office, whatever, and gets,

Justin (45:11)

he gets 100% of it. That's not how we roll here. We are encouraging a healthy debate.

Dan Bongino (45:18)

All I'm asking is that it's not outrage porn. You're seeing things happening right now all over the place. One of them is the President's efforts to clean things up, put up that federal jobs tweet.

Justin (45:34)

I mean, these are again, more pieces of good news that everybod just ignores.

Dan Bongino (45:38)

On the nothing is happening front.

Justin (45:40)

For the first time in basically modern American history, Donald Trump has leaned out the federal workforce by hundreds of thousands of people. That is unheard of.

Dan Bongino (45:51)

Here's Inez Stepman on X.

Justin (45:54)

This is one of the most important victories in a century for the right.

Dan Bongino (45:57)

But the losers on here would have

Justin (45:59)

you never know it.

Dan Bongino (46:00)

She subbed she quote tweets.

Justin (46:02)

Since Trump took office, over 352,000 federal

Dan Bongino (46:05)

employees have been fired, resigned or retired and were not replaced.

Justin (46:08)

The federal workforce is smaller today than

Dan Bongino (46:10)

at any point since 1966.

Justin (46:13)

You want to. You think this was luck too, Justin?

Dan Bongino (46:16)

It was just luck.

Justin (46:17)

Here, this is the actual chart from

Dan Bongino (46:19)

the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. In case you're a liberal watching. Where'd you get those numbers for? They always put evidence. Here's your evidence right there.

Justin (46:26)

Of course, you can't debate these people because then you show them the evidence

Dan Bongino (46:28)

and they ignore it.

Justin (46:32)

Conservatives have been promising a leaner federal workforce for.

Dan Bongino (46:37)

Who's the oldest one in there? Andrew. How long?

Justin (46:40)

Andrew's like kind of forever. They have. Donald Trump actually did it. That's not 3.5 federal workers he let go. It's 352,000. Do you have any idea how much money that's going to save? I get it. The doomers. We could have fired 353,000. Yes, but you didn't because you sat on your fat ass throwing popcorn doing Jack effing shit and Jack left town. I would have fired more. You would have done nothing because that's what you always do. You would have talked about a data point. You would have done nothing. You have given up nothing. You just sit there all day and type away and throw popcorn at the fight. Here's another one.

Dan Bongino (47:32)

This. That tweet about Texas and Florida. I love to see this in action too. Texas and Florida, the lowest state spending per people per person out there.

Justin (47:40)

It goes to show you like we're seeing actual conservative leadership around the country.

Dan Bongino (47:45)

Is everything exactly where we need it to be?

Justin (47:47)

No.

Dan Bongino (47:47)

We can always do better. Everything on the margin can be better. Maria Davidson account. I'm really starting to like by the

Justin (47:53)

way, Florida and Texas have the lowest

Dan Bongino (47:54)

state spending per person in the United States.

Justin (47:57)

There are also two of the five

Dan Bongino (47:58)

states that had the highest population growth in the last decade. State spending does not equal quality of life improving. How do I know that?

Justin (48:08)

Because there's the data point. Who spends the lowest amount of money per person statewise? Florida and Texas. Where are Most people moving Florida and Texas. What is everybody so pissed off about before the midterms? I don't understand. They're pissed off about the Forever War. It's been forever?

Dan Bongino (48:28)

No, it's been two months. Is that forever? It's not.

Justin (48:30)

So why are you lying? We're in the middle of a gentle,

Dan Bongino (48:36)

fragile, may not hold, however, but ceasefire. Donald Trump's a warmonger.

Justin (48:40)

Then why is he. I understand. Why are we in a ceasefire after just two months?

Dan Bongino (48:44)

Why not just obliterate the whole place? Why not?

Justin (48:49)

If this guy's a warmonger, he's the worst warmonger I've ever seen. He's been actively engaged on multiple fronts

Dan Bongino (48:56)

to try and settle ongoing wars, upwards of eight of them.

Justin (49:00)

This guy, I'm telling you, for all

Dan Bongino (49:02)

the criticisms of this guy, he's a racist.

Justin (49:06)

Worst racist I've ever seen.

Dan Bongino (49:07)

Got more black votes than any other Republican. Definitely a warmonger.

Justin (49:12)

Really? Who? Just one of his strongest desires is

Dan Bongino (49:16)

to get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Justin (49:17)

Sounds like a real warmonger. He doesn't want the Nobel War Prize.

Dan Bongino (49:25)

Oh, you're just blindly defended.

Justin (49:26)

No, you're just an asshole.

Dan Bongino (49:27)

You're just stupid. And I'm tired of stupid people. I'm sorry. I really am.

Justin (49:33)

I'm not blindly defending anything. I have been very candid and honest. I don't want to be thrown in.

Dan Bongino (49:37)

Oh, you guys defend everything he does.

Justin (49:39)

I don't defend that.

Dan Bongino (49:40)

I have different opinions on things.

Justin (49:44)

Yeah.

Dan Bongino (49:45)

There is a possibility of an ongoing quagmire in Iran if it's not handled right.

Justin (49:50)

Absolutely. There's no doubt about that. However, that hasn't happened yet.

Dan Bongino (49:58)

All right, I'm going to take a quick break. This show. I'm going to take a quick break. This is one of those shows where, again, I don't know where. I don't know where it's going to go. I got some stuff, but real good things are happening. We got a midterm coming up. You got a choice.

Justin (50:14)

You have a choice.

Dan Bongino (50:16)

It is a choice. It's never a perfect choice, however. Ask yourself on the margin, who is better for me?

Justin (50:24)

You really believe.

Dan Bongino (50:25)

Going back to the mom, dummy. AOC Democrats, the Joe Biden Democrats. You're going to have a more productive, prosperous future. Come on,

Justin (50:36)

folks.

Dan Bongino (50:36)

I told you a story a little while ago when I was running for office in Maryland and this guy comes in from this very liberal county. He's a nice guy, he's a Democrat, but he definitely like would have voted Republican. He knew a ton about this really liberal county in Maryland and he said to me, dan, you're looking at government all wrong. You're looking at this welfare state thing as if they have, as if they don't know that it's all based and basically fraud. That's not the way to look at it. Government spending for Democrats, ladies and gentlemen is a jobs program.

Justin (52:24)

It is a way to.

Dan Bongino (52:25)

Listen to me.

Justin (52:25)

It is a way to keep you people out of the free market system

Dan Bongino (52:29)

that contributes to free markets and capitalism

Justin (52:32)

and, and onto suckling off the government

Dan Bongino (52:34)

teeth which is what they want.

Justin (52:36)

They don't want you to work, they just hate capitalism. The way to get you out of the market is to stick you in an administrative job in the public school system and basically they think they own you for life. The Democrats, that's why they love government spending. Anything they're telling you like we love

Dan Bongino (52:51)

public school spending because we care about kids grades.

Justin (52:53)

They don't give a shit about kids grades. If kids grades go up or down or sideways, they don't care as Long as the money goes up, never sideways

Dan Bongino (53:01)

or down, that's all they care about.

Justin (53:02)

Why am I bringing that up?

Dan Bongino (53:05)

Elon posted this in a tweet the other day about the California boondoggle.

Justin (53:08)

We've been talking about this high speed

Dan Bongino (53:10)

rail project that's projected now to cost double and triple in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Justin (53:16)

Didn't Elon send a guy to space

Dan Bongino (53:18)

for like $5 billion?

Justin (53:20)

We can't even send a guy to freaking Bakersfield in California for 200 billion. He knows, Elon, the real reason for

Dan Bongino (53:27)

the high speed rail is. Oh, sorry, I shouldn't stop mid tweet my apology, pay attention, write this down or just go to Twitter and screenshot it. The real reason for the high speed rail is money laundering to bureaucrats, consultants and unions, not actually transportation. That is why or where the billions spent so far have gone. That's why they don't want an actually cost efficient high speed transport system.

Justin (53:52)

They don't care about high speed rail in California. They care about paying off consultants, administrators and bureaucrats with your money to make sure that a commercial free market driven high speed rail competitor never ever enters the market. If there is one for the product. I don't even know what. Can someone look that up?

Dan Bongino (54:16)

Like, how much did it cost Elon SpaceX to send a guy to space?

Justin (54:21)

What is a, what is a rocket launch cost? Meanwhile, they spend probably 100 times as much. They can't get a guy from L A to San Francisco. Of course there's a way to get there. You could drive or take a plane. But no, no, they want to create an artificial market. It's not about transportation.

Dan Bongino (54:38)

Just like it's not about public schools.

Justin (54:40)

I need you to get this into your heads. They don't care about that stuff. They don't care at all. It is a jobs program. I will never forget that. And yes, unlike liberals who tell bullshit stories that actually happened, he's like, Dan, you're making an argument about kids and schools and grades. They don't care.

Dan Bongino (55:02)

Destiny. Several hundred thousand dollars?

Justin (55:05)

This is insane.

Dan Bongino (55:06)

What do you mean? You mean hundreds of millions? No, it sells from several hundred thousand for a brief edge of space experience to tens of millions for orbital states. Tens of millions?

Justin (55:14)

You mean not hundreds of billions?

Dan Bongino (55:20)

Caroline Levitt, our excellent press secretary, gets this too. She put this out yesterday. And this is why the Trump administration has been so vigorous in combating fraud in Minnesota, in la, we saw the case in Michigan. Here's Caroline Levitt. Taxpayers increasingly blame government fraud for rising cost of Living poll shows.

Justin (55:42)

Why are they doing that?

Dan Bongino (55:44)

Ladies and gentlemen, in the audience, there's the Daily Signal audio. Why is the White House constantly highly highlighting.

Justin (55:51)

And they think the fraud issue is so important.

Dan Bongino (55:54)

Government spending fraud is so important, they

Justin (55:57)

actually have the vice president heading the task force.

Dan Bongino (55:59)

Why? Because Donald Trump's got an amyloid plaque problem and needs to be removed from office. Because he's mentally incompetent?

Justin (56:04)

No, because Donald Trump and his team understand that the public, a good section of it, still believes government spending is

Dan Bongino (56:13)

done for goodwill, education, health care for

Justin (56:17)

people who need it. None of that is true. It is all a grift. It's all bullshit. That's why they're highlighting this endless, endless amount of fraud. And you're seeing it show up in the polls now where the public is starting to understand, like, man, I've been lied to. The White House is right. This is a grift. Here's Christopher Ruffo on Fox.

Dan Bongino (56:41)

He's been great on this. He's a conservative commentator, activist, had some pretty important position, I believe, down there in Florida, the education system.

Justin (56:50)

Here's Rufo on Fox throwing out another

Dan Bongino (56:54)

number that's really hard to believe. And I guarantee you this is an underestimate.

Justin (56:59)

I think it's in the $6 billion range of fraud. You think the White House is stupid? You think they're just making this up or it's not part of a grander

Dan Bongino (57:08)

strategy to expose to the public what's been behind the curtain with the wizard the whole time. Check this out.

Christopher Rufo (57:14)

So the scam is California's In Home Supported Services or in Home Care program. It spends about $30 billion a year. It's one of the state's largest programs, and it pays 800,000 Californians to stay home, mostly with relatives, to take care of them, to cook, clean, watch television. On the surface, it's compassionate. You're taking care of your grandfather or a child with disability. But experts say, and this is dating back to the Schwarzenegger administration and getting worse and worse and worse, that between 20 and 40% of this program is just pure fraud. Fraudulent timesheets, fraudulent billing. It operates on the honor system, and experts say it's losing between 6 and $12 billion a year to people who are taking this compassionate program and ripping it off.

Justin (57:59)

Wait, I thought. I thought the home health care program guys was about helping, you know, older

Dan Bongino (58:05)

folks at home who may be infirmed or dying.

Justin (58:07)

I thought that's what they said. That's what they said, right? And then you find out that as Rufo said with the math that the program costs $30 billion and upwards of 6 to 10 billion, a fifth to a third of it is fraud. And it's done on the honor system. Where the hell you. In life do you deal with the honor system? Ladies and gentlemen, I don't even do the honor system with my kids. I tell my daughter, hey, go clean your room. I go up and check later to make sure she cleaned it. Where in life is the honor system? I'd like $150,000 a year to take

Dan Bongino (58:51)

care of my grandma in my house. I want it from the state. Oh, that's really nice. You're going to take care of grandma. That's. That's wonderful. Sign here.

Justin (59:02)

That's it.

Dan Bongino (59:03)

The sign here.

Justin (59:04)

Do you even have a grandma?

Dan Bongino (59:06)

No, she died years ago.

Justin (59:08)

What's your name?

Dan Bongino (59:09)

Antoinette. Your driver's license says Sandra.

Justin (59:13)

The honor system. Are you shitting me? The honor system.

Dan Bongino (59:19)

I'm going to try this with Justin. Justin's going to be like, I want an employment contract. Nah, nah, it's the honor system.

Justin (59:26)

But I got to know what I'm gonna make. Don't worry. We'll figure it out.

Dan Bongino (59:29)

I love Justin.

Justin (59:30)

I've.

Dan Bongino (59:31)

But.

Justin (59:33)

Yeah. Is it a yeah?

Dan Bongino (59:34)

Exactly.

Justin (59:34)

Hey, Justin's gay. Hey, Dan, can I have your credit card and bank info for this weekend?

Dan Bongino (59:39)

Why?

Justin (59:39)

I don't know. I just went to honor system. I just love you, buddy, but none. And I'm good. I'm okay. The honor system. This is a scam. Donald Trump thinks this is so important. He has the vice president himself trying to expose to you. You've been lied to about the benevolence of big government for eons.

Dan Bongino (60:07)

Now here's another clip on Fox about the advance.

Justin (60:11)

J.D.

Dan Bongino (60:11)

vance, Vice President Vance Task Force.

Justin (60:14)

Listen to the numbers in this thing.

Dan Bongino (60:16)

Check this out. His new anti fraud task force claiming it's uncovered nearly $6.3 billion questionable government contracts. The task force has sent out letters to about 400 companies asking for proof that they are legitimate. Aisha Hosny's on this live in Washington. What you find out, Aisha.

Aisha Hosny (60:35)

Hey, good morning to you, Bill. So it's potentially a huge loss for you, the taxpayer, but it is a win in that if there is fraud here, it will stop. The frauds are J.D. vance and his task force have found that the federal government was apparently handing out clients contracts to potentially fraudulent businesses. Now the task force is Giving these companies 30 days to prove that they are indeed real. And they're demanding things like handing over a physical address or they risk losing their contract.

Justin (61:05)

Why did I stop that clip there?

Dan Bongino (61:07)

Anyone know? Ayesha Hosny and Bill Hemmer talking about it? Why did I stop it at that exact point?

Justin (61:14)

They're giving companies 30 days to prove they're real.

Dan Bongino (61:21)

But that.

Justin (61:22)

You mean that wasn't a prerequisite before you got the money?

Dan Bongino (61:25)

I just want to be clear. We have a company that's got a company name. I have a couple companies. I invest in a lot of companies.

Justin (61:34)

I know they're real.

Dan Bongino (61:35)

Why? Because I did my homework.

Justin (61:37)

So you're telling me the federal government is doling out billions of dollars in contracts to companies where, prior to the Trump administration, there's been no verification that the company is actually real?

Dan Bongino (61:50)

It's the honor system. Why is it the honor system? The answer is because it's a third party payer. The federal government that doesn't give a shit about your money because it's not theirs, it's yours.

Justin (62:01)

And it doesn't even give a damn who they're giving it to because they're not even spending it on themselves.

Dan Bongino (62:06)

They're spending it on someone else. It's the Milton Friedman cost and quality problem.

Justin (62:10)

They don't care about the cost of

Dan Bongino (62:11)

what they're spending your money on.

Justin (62:13)

It's not their money. They don't care about the quality of what they're buying either because they're not even buying the thing for themselves. So it doesn't matter.

Dan Bongino (62:26)

Oh, they lost their minds with Elon and Doge. Oh, that was a classic. Remember, he's talking about the justice thing, about the Doge email. I think it was five day. Tell us five things you did today.

Justin (62:36)

People erupted in the government. What do you mean, five things I did here? Let's start with question one. Were you even at work today? When was the last time you were at work? I'm not answering that. Why would you not answer that? It's called a time card, man. Remember that? Back in the day, I used to

Dan Bongino (62:54)

work in Key Food on Metropolitan Avenue. It's a CBS now. CVS in Forest Hills.

Justin (62:59)

Used to have to punch a time card.

Dan Bongino (63:00)

I made $3 an hour, minimum wage, stock and shelves.

Justin (63:03)

Remember the time cards?

Dan Bongino (63:07)

Right. I'm gonna jump around a little bit because I'm. It's been a. I got a lot more. Don't go anywhere. But I want to get to this stuff. Folks, we have a choice coming up. I've told you this in the midterms, and I'm really, I promise you, going to try to not waste a lot of your time because of the economics opportunity cost problem on a lot of this bullshit in infighting. That's not infighting. They're not in any club. I'm in. I'm in a club. I support President Trump and a good portion of the agenda and if I don't, I'll level a principled criticism. And he doesn't. He's the president I didn't get elected to squad. He can do what he wants. I don't want to waste a lot of time on it because we have

Justin (63:50)

real problems, we have real problems we

Dan Bongino (63:53)

need to fix that are going to impact our kids. You know, I have a friend, I'm not going to say who, but close right now. I was having a child soon and I brought this up. I said, listen, when you have kids, the world changes because the world has hostages now. A lot of parents in the chat. Am I wrong? You behave totally differently when you have kids because the world has a hostage.

Justin (64:20)

You want to have kids or not?

Dan Bongino (64:21)

Your call. I'm just telling you when you have kids, your outlook completely changes. You can't just go, ah, effort. I'm going to enjoy myself and I'm going to go six feet deep. So who cares? Oh, I care.

Justin (64:33)

Because you're going to care more about

Dan Bongino (64:34)

your kids than you care about you.

Justin (64:35)

You'll go six feet deep quicker to

Dan Bongino (64:37)

protect your kids and the world they live in.

Justin (64:40)

I'm not losing the midterm because of a bunch of people who come inside

Dan Bongino (64:45)

our tent, take a dump all over the place. I'm sorry, I'm not doing it because

Justin (64:50)

our alternative are these lunatics.

Dan Bongino (64:52)

Did you see this clip on msnowbc2y g2y a whatever the hell they are now.

Justin (65:00)

You know what?

Dan Bongino (65:00)

Before we should go to the Canada. I'm going to get to that clip, but I, I haven't. No, I was going to go to Stephanie Rule, but we got to put.

Justin (65:10)

This is the.

Dan Bongino (65:11)

Here is the new call sign for Ms. N O W I W S G B T. It is.

Justin (65:19)

Yeah.

Dan Bongino (65:19)

They have a new call sign msnow. Check this out.

Aisha Hosny (65:21)

The budget was released. I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous services Canada and Crown Indigenous relations. They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA MMIWG2SLGBtQIA this is abhorrent. This is callous. This is. This is callous because the very liberal government that has stripped organizations of life sustaining funding

Dan Bongino (66:01)

Dan, that's not the call sign for NS N O W MMI BC2Q LGBT2+SPIRIT. That's some Canadian lunatic talking about new victim groups.

Justin (66:11)

I know, I just had to throw it in there.

Dan Bongino (66:13)

Someone asked me, Laura asked me last night about Fox about it.

Justin (66:15)

So the only person who's going to get that right.

Dan Bongino (66:16)

It's like the spelling bee champion.

Justin (66:18)

If you're running out of way that.

Dan Bongino (66:20)

By the way, that's not a joke. That actually happened. I thought it was AI when I first heard it's real. There is a new.

Justin (66:27)

It's not just it used to be LGBT, then it was QA, then it was 2 +spirit, then it was MMIW2SGBT2. Do you really want these lunatics in charge? These are the people. This is the world we live in. There are no perfect choices. There are only choices on the margin. Right? The winter, you go to your thermostat. The choice is in heat or no heat, you'll freeze. The choice is how much heat. How much money are you willing to

Dan Bongino (66:59)

pay to be a little bit more comfortable?

Justin (67:00)

That's the world we live in. It is a world of trade offs. I like to heat at 73 degrees. Okay, it's going to cost you more money. I don't like 73 that much. I'll go down to 70. That's what a trade off is. Big boys and girls know that. Morons don't. They think the world is full of easy choices.

Dan Bongino (67:18)

I don't like Trump.

Justin (67:19)

I'm a Republican. Fake Republican.

Dan Bongino (67:22)

And I think Trump is Israel first. Now really, what are you basing that on exactly?

Justin (67:28)

So I'm going to vote Democrat. Okay, good. You'll get the MMIW M S N

Dan Bongino (67:33)

O W M S M M I W G W. Yeah. These people, you'll have them back in

Justin (67:43)

charge and then you'll get people like

Dan Bongino (67:44)

this Stephanie Rule at MSNBC again. This actually happened.

Justin (67:51)

The death to Iran. The death to America. Iranians who have killed thousands of Americans through their proxies, in war theaters, through terror attacks, they have killed our people. I want you to tell this to the parents of soldiers and victims of

Dan Bongino (68:10)

Iranian proxy terror attacks that hey, you really have to hand it to the Iranians.

Justin (68:16)

We do.

Dan Bongino (68:18)

No, dipshit. No we don't. I'm not handing anything to the Iranians. This actually happened like on the air for real. Check this out.

Aisha Hosny (68:26)

This is a phenomenal point because you could disagree with with Iran and what their point of view is, but it's the fact that they have a deep belief in something that's unfortunate.

Dan Bongino (68:35)

That they will die for that.

Aisha Hosny (68:37)

They will die for that. They'll destroy their country for it.

Dan Bongino (68:39)

Yes. I mean, he has no ideology, ideological belief or patriotism about America and he doesn't think anybody else does. So when he sees Iranians lining up around power grids, he can't understand that. He thinks they're being paid to do it. Here we go again, guys with the

Justin (68:54)

Trump can't understand this. Does this sound like the exact same message the doomer class keeps telling you

Dan Bongino (68:59)

in fighting in our tent?

Justin (69:01)

The fake infighters.

Dan Bongino (69:01)

They're not infighters.

Justin (69:02)

They're not in my movement.

Dan Bongino (69:04)

It's not mine. I don't own it. I mean movement. I belong to this mag movement.

Justin (69:08)

They're not in it. They're saying the exact same thing as the liberals on msnow.

Dan Bongino (69:13)

Gotta hand it to the Iranians.

Justin (69:14)

No, you don't go. I don't have to hand anything to that.

Dan Bongino (69:18)

The Iranians, the terrorists, we have to hand it to them.

Justin (69:24)

Should we hand it to the people who attacked us on 9 11?

Dan Bongino (69:26)

You got to hand it to them.

Justin (69:29)

Are you serious? Like, did that actually happen on MMIW msnow nbcbt2? Did that actually happen?

Dan Bongino (69:39)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a great point. This other moron Trump is not patriot. Yeah, yeah. He's definitely hates America. Trump. Yeah. You know,

Justin (69:50)

it's the same commentary coming

Dan Bongino (69:52)

from the infighting air quotes.

Justin (69:54)

It's the same stuff. He doesn't know what he's doing.

Dan Bongino (69:57)

He's just lucky all the time. And hey, you got to hand it to the Iranians.

Justin (70:01)

Which Iranians? The mother that are dead.

Dan Bongino (70:04)

Which ones?

Justin (70:06)

The hundreds we've wiped out. Which ones you're going to hand it to.

Dan Bongino (70:13)

The one they're going to stick their

Justin (70:16)

hand out of the grave like the Jason vs. Freddy movie.

Dan Bongino (70:18)

Or at the end when the hand

Justin (70:20)

comes out like they're all dead. They're kind of dead. They may have a hand, but there's no blood flow in it because they're freaking dead. That actually happened. These people are frauds. I'm not losing a freaking election to them because I simply don't understand or

Dan Bongino (70:40)

even attempt to understand Donald Trump's strategy. I'm not, I'm going to object to this whole thing by sitting out the election.

Justin (70:48)

Yeah, good luck, man.

Dan Bongino (70:50)

You clearly don't have kids and if

Justin (70:53)

you do, you would not. You want to hand the government over to these freaking lunatics. The MMIW Stephanie rule.

Dan Bongino (71:01)

Other Trump doesn't know what he's doing hand it to the Iran now.

Justin (71:05)

And by the way, they have no principles at all. You may have seen this yesterday on

Dan Bongino (71:09)

cable news, but if you didn't, I feel a responsibility to put it out there.

Justin (71:11)

I want you to understand this. Here's. This is going to be a clip of Barack Obama.

Dan Bongino (71:15)

Yes, Obama on this show.

Justin (71:17)

Unbelievably, he is saying to Naito the exact same thing Donald Trump is saying. Now there's a real clip. This is from 2020, 2016, right.

Dan Bongino (71:28)

The end of that Obama administration.

Justin (71:30)

He's saying to Naito the exact same thing Trump is saying. You guys want us to help you out, you're going to have to pay for it. We are not the world's policemen. I'm not playing this to celebrate Obama, man. I left my job to run against this guy. I'm making a different point that the media now criticizing Donald Trump.

Dan Bongino (71:53)

I can't believe he's bullying NATO.

Justin (71:56)

He's saying nothing different than Obama said. And when Obama said it, they were like barking, clapping seals like, go, Obama, Dan. It sounds like they don't have any principles. Kind of like the doomers because they

Dan Bongino (72:09)

don't check it out.

Barack Obama (72:11)

And finally, after many years, NATO has stopped the collective decline in defense spending. Over the past two years, most NATO members have halted cuts and begun investing more in defense. And this means defense spending across the alliance is now scheduled to increase. I especially want to commend our friends in the uk, Poland, Greece, Estonia, all who along with the United States, pay their full share of at least 2% of GDP for our collective defense. But for those of you doing the math, that means that the majority of allies are still not hitting that 2% mark, an obligation we agreed to in Wales. So we had a very candid conversation about this. There's a recognition that given the range of threats that we face and the capabilities that we need, everybody has got to step up and everybody's got to do better.

Justin (73:10)

Where were the msnows and others at the time criticizing Obama for saying the exact thing Trump is saying? Where the answer is nowhere, because they don't have any principles. Their principle is we hate Donald Trump. If Donald Trump likes apples, we hate apples. Even if we said yesterday, I really

Dan Bongino (73:31)

love apples, I want to start an orchard.

Justin (73:34)

Yeah, but you're on tape saying it.

Dan Bongino (73:36)

I don't care.

Justin (73:37)

I just got to demonstrate to my

Dan Bongino (73:39)

audience I'm a phony, but I'm a phony who hates Donald Trump. We're not doing that. All right, I got some important stories for you, I want to leave you with before the weekend too. They're not related to this. It's a different direction, but it's critical nonetheless. One of the things we mentioned earlier in the show on an unrelated topic, are you guys parents? A lot of you who listen to the show are. You're obviously parents or children. So when we used to do violent crimes against children cases, a lot of them we pushed hard on restoring justice and enduring justice. These VCAC operations we did. When I was there, I used to say to the guys all the time, hey, man, everyone in the room is a parent or a child. So let's get this thing together and get this thing moving. Anything involving kids is obviously gonna be a really, really big deal. I saw this Tweet up yesterday. FBI in Atlanta working on the 764 task force. I was talking with one of our production staff this morning. Folks, this is a huge threat, this764. I'm not gonna spend a ton of time on it. I've addressed this before. This is a very organized group of people targeting your kids through online gaming, chat rooms. Not telling you to tell your kids they can't play video games or any of them. Not saying that at all. It's a problem everywhere. But they go into chat rooms and groom your kids. The seven six, four group, and they. The videos are horrifying. I encourage you not to watch them because you will never be the same. It will pollute your soul. Do not let the evil in this group gets your kids to basically cut themselves up to do horrible things to animals. It is a very real threat. Anyone telling you it's not is lying. I don't know why they would say that. It is a huge threat. We made hundreds and thousands of arrests on it, and it's still going. FBI and Atlanta PD are combining resources to combat a violent, nihilistic extremist network known as 764. The takeaway from this, I brought it up a couple times and I'll leave it here, please. The chat rooms. If you are not technologically sophisticated. I'm not. Paula is my wife. Find someone who is, who can go into these platforms your young children are on and make sure that if they're in a chat room on TikTok or whatever, that they can only be contacted by people you trust.

Justin (76:04)

Because I know what you're thinking, oh, they'll never get my kid.

Dan Bongino (76:07)

My kid would never do that to an animal. Trust me. That's famous last words from parents we've interviewed in these cases.

Justin (76:14)

I can't believe my kid did that.

Dan Bongino (76:16)

It is a very, very serious threat and these actors know exactly what they're doing. Stay on top of it. Here's another one I addressed yesterday as a follow up on that. This just went nuclear yesterday. Not because of me, but we covered it. This AI program called Mythos. Claude Mythos, how it did some really frightening things. And there's two. Just so I give you both sides.

Justin (76:44)

There's one group of people who are

Dan Bongino (76:46)

like, ah, it's all bs. It hasn't really done anything that crazy. This is a marketing gimmick by by the folks trying to basically sell Mythos. And there's another group of people like, ah, this isn't a gimmick. Like, we're like Terminator 2 territory. Here's a follow up tweet I just saw before we came on the air by Mark Gadala. The Mythos timeline, he notes, is actually insane. He notes Anthropic leaked this document last month that called this new model by far the most powerful AI we've ever built. Number two, the model mythos finds thousands of zero day vulnerabilities in weeks.

Justin (77:21)

Some of them 27 years old. Think about that. Some of these online cybersecurity problems were so deep and no one had ever found them for 27 years. They found them in weeks.

Dan Bongino (77:31)

This Mythos program. Well, what's the problem? Including, they found a critical bug buried in open bsd, the operating system literally designed to be the most secure in the world. Wow. Found it in just weeks.

Justin (77:45)

Then a researcher discovers Mythos had quietly circumvented its own safeguards. How did the researcher find that out? He found out when he received an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park. A couple more Anthropic is so spooked they refused to release Mythos publicly. Only 12 companies get access. Cybersecurity stocks crater.

Dan Bongino (78:11)

On this news.

Justin (78:12)

Yesterday, treasury secretary Scott Bessen and Fed chair Powell summoned Wall Street Bank CEOs to an emergency meeting in Washington. And they note, quote, make sure your systems are ready. Something is coming.

Dan Bongino (78:31)

I told you, you better make sure you got your patches and everything updated. And two, factor on your stuff and the basics. Don't click on links, don't. Folks, I'm telling you, we are in a new era. Anyone telling you otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. I'm not telling you live your life in panic. I'm just telling you that these threats are out there and people in the administration elsewhere are taking them Very seriously. Now, this is my favorite video of the day. By the way, did he do a Democrat Zen for us this week? The Jim, did he skip his Democrat Zen moment? Is there one? Okay, good. But we're not playing it yet. I want to throw this out there for you. Do you guys know Dr. Rhonda Patrick? You know, I cover all kinds of stuff on the show. We went from 764 in the apocalypse to some good news.

Justin (79:25)

I love life hacks.

Dan Bongino (79:28)

Sleep, sleep monitors, supplements, everything. And I like to pass them on to you too. Now, of course, they come with the caveats. Get a doctor's examination stuff. Make sure you're healthy before you do all this stuff. Dr. Rhonda is fantastic. You should go follow her. She has the best life hacks out there. Here is Dr. Rhonda on something I've been telling you about. How if you can't get 10,000 steps in a day because you work at a desk, you don't really need to. You just have to get up like once an hour and do what they call an exercise snack because it really matters. Check this out.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick (79:59)

There's lots of data now showing that people that are doing these like short bursts, at least a minute long, but up to three minutes, they're moving faster with intent and it's having outsize effects on health outcomes. So for example, individuals that do on the high end, so they're doing, you know, three minutes of this short burst of an unstructured type of exercise snack, and they do it three times a day. So it's a total of nine minutes a day. Okay. That's associated with a 40% reduction in all cause mortality, 40% reduction in cancer related mortality, a 50% reduction in cardiovascular related mortality.

Dan Bongino (80:40)

That was from Andrew Huberman's podcast, Huberman Lab, another good podcast as well. Exercise, snacks. You got to get up once in a while. The body was designed to move. Don't let it sit there stagnant.

Justin (80:54)

You could change your whole life with these little things.

Dan Bongino (80:56)

Non exercise related activity.

Justin (80:58)

You don't have to be in the gym two hours a day.

Dan Bongino (81:04)

You know, on Friday we leave you with this. Of course we want you to have a nice, tranquil, calm, peaceful weekend. Have some, you know, quality family time. Spend it with your kids, your wife, your significant other, your husband, whoever it may be. So producer Jim is always kind enough to put together these nice calming moments on a Friday. We call them our Democrat Zen moments. Check this out.
